Recent Company History

Over the last several earnings cycles, ONE Gas has steadily reported higher income driven by new rates and continued capital investment. Prior updates highlighted guidance increases or narrowing, sizeable capital programs (often near $750–$800 million annually), and incremental dividend raises. The current first‑quarter 2026 release continues this pattern with year‑over‑year EPS growth, affirmed 2026 guidance, and sizable planned capital spending, consistent with the company’s established multi‑year outlook shown in earlier earnings releases.

Key Terms

at-the-market equity distribution agreement, Gas System Reliability Surcharge (GSRS), Performance-Based Rate Change, excess deferred income taxes (EDIT), +1 more
5 terms
at-the-market equity distribution agreement financial
"In February 2026, the Company entered into an at-the-market equity distribution agreement..."
An at-the-market equity distribution agreement is a standing arrangement between a company and a broker to sell newly issued shares directly into the open market at prevailing prices, usually in small increments over time. Investors care because it can provide a flexible, relatively fast way for a company to raise cash without a large one-time offering, but it also increases the supply of shares and can dilute existing holdings or put downward pressure on the stock price.
Gas System Reliability Surcharge (GSRS) regulatory
"Kansas House Bill 2435 ... amending the Gas System Reliability Surcharge (GSRS) statute..."
A gas system reliability surcharge (GSRS) is an extra charge added to customers’ gas bills that utilities use to pay for maintaining and upgrading pipelines, compressors, and other equipment that keep gas service running safely and without interruption. For investors, a GSRS matters because it affects a utility’s predictable cash flow and cost recovery—helping fund capital needs without large rate cases—while also shifting some operational costs to customers, which can influence regulatory scrutiny and long-term revenue stability.
Performance-Based Rate Change regulatory
"Oklahoma Natural Gas filed its annual Performance-Based Rate Change application..."
A performance-based rate change is an adjustment to a price, fee or allowed return that automatically rises or falls depending on whether predefined performance targets are met. Think of it like a utility bill that increases when service meets quality goals or decreases when it falls short; for investors, these rules matter because they link a company’s revenue and profit to measurable outcomes, changing expected cash flow stability and incentives for management.
excess deferred income taxes (EDIT) regulatory
"regulatory liability associated with excess deferred income taxes (EDIT) of $9.5 million..."
Excess deferred income taxes are bookkeeping entries that show taxes a company will likely owe later because accounting rules let it report different profits for financial statements than for tax returns. The “excess” part usually means the future tax obligations recorded exceed any future tax benefits, so investors see a net future cash outflow; like a bill the company has postponed, it signals potential higher cash taxes down the road and can affect valuation and cash flow forecasts.
non-GAAP financial
"which are non-GAAP financial measures as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission."
Non-GAAP refers to financial measures that companies use to show their earnings or performance without including certain expenses or income that are often added back to give a different picture. It matters because it can make a company's results look better or more favorable, but it may also hide important costs, so investors need to look at both GAAP (official rules) and non-GAAP numbers to get a full understanding.

Declares Second Quarter Dividend

Analyst call and webcast scheduled tomorrow, May 5 at 11 a.m. EDT

TULSA, Okla., May 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- ONE Gas, Inc. (NYSE: OGS) today announced its first quarter 2026 financial results, affirmed its 2026 financial guidance and declared its quarterly dividend.

"Our positive performance through a historically warm winter underscores the resilience of our business model and our ability to drive long‑term value while sustaining customer affordability," said Robert S. McAnnally, chief executive officer. "We are confident in our strategic plan and remain on track to achieve our 2026 financial guidance."

FINANCIAL RESULTS & HIGHLIGHTS

  • First quarter 2026 net income was $128.7 million, or $2.04 per diluted share, compared with $119.4 million, or $1.98 per diluted share, in the same period last year;
  • First quarter 2026 adjusted net income was $133.4 million, or $2.11 per diluted share, compared with $120.1 million, or $1.99 per diluted share, in the same period last year;
  • While weather across the Company's service areas was 20.5 percent warmer than normal and 24.6 percent warmer than the prior year, the impact on operating income was tempered by weather normalization mechanisms;
  • In February 2026, the Company entered into an at-the-market equity distribution agreement under which it may issue and sell shares of common stock with an aggregate offering price up to $225 million;
  • For the ninth consecutive year, ONE Gas was awarded the American Gas Association Safety Achievement Award for excellence in employee safety; and
  • The board of directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.68 per share ($2.72 annualized), payable on June 2, 2026, to shareholders of record at the close of business on May 18, 2026.

FIRST QUARTER 2026 FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

ONE Gas reported operating income of $189.6 million in the first quarter, compared with $180.5 million in the first quarter 2025, which primarily reflects an increase of $27.3 million from new rates.

This increase was partially offset by:

  • an increase of $6.8 million in employee-related costs due, in part, to planned investments in the Company's workforce;
  • an increase of $1.3 million in outside services; and
  • a decrease of $8.9 million in revenue due to lower sales and transport volumes, net of the impact of weather normalization mechanisms.

Excluding interest related to KGSS-I securitized bonds, net interest expense decreased $3.0 million for the three months ending March 31, 2026. The decrease in interest expense is primarily due to commercial paper borrowings at lower rates and the implementation of Texas House Bill 4384.

Income tax expense includes a credit for amortization of the regulatory liability associated with excess deferred income taxes (EDIT) of $9.5 million and $8.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, and 2025, respectively.

Capital expenditures and asset removal costs were $169.6 million for the first quarter 2026 compared with $177.7 million in the same period last year, primarily representing expenditures for system integrity and extension of service to new areas.

REGULATORY ACTIVITIES UPDATE

In April 2026, Kansas House Bill 2435 was signed into law, amending the Gas System Reliability Surcharge (GSRS) statute effective July 1, 2026. The amendment expands the qualifying infrastructure investments eligible for recovery to include all utility plant investments (excluding allocated corporate costs other than cyber-security related investments), increases the maximum monthly residential surcharge to $1.35 from $0.80 and provides added filing flexibility by allowing one GSRS filing per calendar year, rather than once every 365 days.

In March 2026, Texas Gas Service made a Gas Reliability Infrastructure Program filing for all customers requesting a $36.9 million revenue increase to be effective in July 2026.

In February 2026, Oklahoma Natural Gas filed its annual Performance-Based Rate Change application for the test year ended December 2025. The filing includes a requested $28.7 million base rate revenue increase, $2.6 million energy efficiency incentive and $14.4 million of estimated EDIT to be credited to customers in 2027. A hearing is scheduled for June 11, 2026. Rates may be implemented subject to refund on June 26, 2026.

2026 FINANCIAL GUIDANCE

ONE Gas affirmed the financial guidance it issued on Dec. 1, 2025, as supplemented on Feb. 18, 2026. For 2026, net income is expected to be in the range of $294 million to $302 million, or $4.65 to $4.77 per diluted share, while adjusted net income is expected to be in the range of $306 million to $314 million, or $4.83 to $4.95 per diluted share. The Company continues to expect long-term GAAP and adjusted net income growth of 7 to 9 percent and GAAP and adjusted net income per diluted share growth of 5 to 7 percent, consistent with its established five-year financial outlook.

Capital investments, including asset removal costs, are expected to be approximately $800 million in 2026. Capital investments for extensions to new customers are expected to be approximately $230 million.

NON-GAAP DISCLOSURE STATEMENT

This news release includes financial results and guidance for ONE Gas with respect to adjusted net income and adjusted net income per share, which are non-GAAP financial measures as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Adjusted net income and adjusted net income per share are calculated as GAAP net income plus the deferral of an equity portion of a carrying cost attributable to shareholders' investment capitalized for regulatory purposes but not for financial reporting purposes. These carrying costs relate to property, plant and equipment that has been placed in service, but not yet reflected in base rates. Adjusted net income and adjusted net income per share should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP net income or GAAP earnings per share.

Management believes these non‑GAAP measures provide useful information because they offer a more complete view of our overall regulatory economics, reflect the period-specific effects of certain regulatory mechanisms designed to mitigate regulatory lag associated with property, plant and equipment placed in service prior to regulatory action, and reflect the impact of regulatory timing differences that arise under the Company's rate-setting framework. These adjustments, net of applicable tax effects, are expected to recur as a result of the Company's regulatory framework and are a consistent part of our earnings profile. A reconciliation of the Company's GAAP net income and GAAP earnings per share to adjusted net income and adjusted net income per share is provided in the Appendix.

  • our ability to complete necessary or desirable expansion or infrastructure development projects, which may delay or prevent us from serving our customers or expanding our business;
  • operational and mechanical hazards or interruptions;
  • adverse labor relations;
  • the effectiveness of our strategies to reduce earnings lag, revenue protection strategies and risk mitigation strategies, which may be affected by risks beyond our control such as commodity price volatility, counterparty performance or creditworthiness and interest rate risk;

  • our ability to obtain capital on commercially reasonable terms, or on terms acceptable to us, or at all;
  • limitations on our operating flexibility, earnings and cash flows due to restrictions in our financing arrangements;
  • cross-default provisions in our borrowing arrangements, which may lead to our inability to satisfy all of our outstanding obligations in the event of a default on our part;
  • changes in the financial markets during the periods covered by the forward-looking statements, particularly those affecting the availability of capital and our ability to refinance existing debt and fund investments and acquisitions to execute our business strategy;

  • possible loss of local distribution company franchises or other adverse effects caused by the actions of municipalities;
  • payment and performance by counterparties and customers as contracted and when due, including our counterparties maintaining ordinary course terms of supply and payments;

  • the effectiveness of our risk-management policies and procedures, and employees violating our risk-management policies;
  • the uncertainty of estimates, including accruals and costs of environmental remediation;
  • advances in technology, including technologies that increase efficiency or that improve electricity's competitive position relative to natural gas;
  • population growth rates and changes in the demographic patterns of the markets we serve in Oklahoma, Kansas and Texas, and economic conditions in these areas;

  • political unrest and the potential effects of threatened or actual terrorism and war;
  • the sufficiency of insurance coverage to cover losses;
  • the effects of our strategies to reduce tax payments;
  • changes in accounting standards;
