Key Terms

adjusted EBITDA financial

Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.

adjusted net income financial

Adjusted net income is a company's reported profit after removing unusual, one-time, or non-operational items so the number reflects the business’s regular earning power. Investors use it like a cleaned-up scorecard — similar to judging a player’s season performance without a few fluke games — to compare companies or assess trends without being misled by rare gains or losses that won’t affect future cash flow.

available funds from operations financial

Available funds from operations (AFFO) is a cash-focused measure used mainly for property-owning companies that starts with reported operating cash and then subtracts recurring costs such as ongoing building repairs, tenant turnover and routine maintenance to estimate the cash truly available for dividends and reinvestment. Investors care because AFFO acts like a household’s leftover paycheck after regular bills — it helps judge whether a company’s cash flow can sustainably support distributions and growth.

AFFO financial

AFFO (Adjusted Funds from Operations) is a measure of how much cash a real estate company or investment trust generates from its core operations after subtracting routine upkeep, leasing costs and other recurring expenses. Investors use it as a rough proxy for the cash available to pay dividends or reinvest, like checking how much money remains in your household budget after paying regular bills to see what you can spend or save.

Rule 10b5-1 regulatory

Rule 10b5-1 is a regulation that allows company insiders to buy or sell their shares at predetermined times, even if they have access to non-public information. It acts like setting a schedule in advance for transactions, helping prevent accusations of unfair trading. This rule provides a way for insiders to plan trades transparently, giving investors confidence that these transactions are not based on hidden information.

Form 10-K regulatory

A Form 10-K is a comprehensive report that publicly traded companies are required to file annually with regulators. It provides a detailed overview of a company's financial health, operations, and risks, similar to a detailed health report. Investors use this information to assess the company's performance and make informed decisions about buying or selling its stock.

Clean Water Act regulatory

A U.S. federal law that sets rules for protecting rivers, lakes and coastal waters by controlling pollution from pipes, runoff and industrial discharges—like neighborhood rules that stop businesses from dumping waste into a shared pond. Investors pay attention because the law determines permits, cleanup responsibilities, potential fines and operating costs for companies with water-related operations, and those obligations can materially affect cash flow, project timelines and asset values.

“In 2025, Williams delivered record Adjusted EBITDA of $7.75 billion, capping a five‑year Adjusted EBITDA CAGR of 9%, and a five-year EPS CAGR of 14%. Today we are announcing 2026 Adjusted EBITDA guidance of $8.2 billion at the midpoint, reflecting the ongoing strong growth of our business as we realize the benefit of pipeline transmission and offshore projects that came online in 2025, as well as expected revenues from a partial year of our first power innovation project that is expected to come online in the second half of 2026.

“Our teams completed 1.1 Bcf/d of pipeline transmission projects in 2025 and are advancing another 7.1 Bcf/d of pipeline projects currently in execution. In addition, we are announcing a new power innovation project, Socrates the Younger, which increases our power innovation investment to over $7 billion of capital in execution. This consistent execution in key growth areas across our expanding footprint continues to open new commercial opportunities and reinforces our critical role in the nation’s energy future.”

Zamarin added, “As we look to 2026 and beyond, we are focused on delivering for shareholders through our position as the nation's natural gas infrastructure leader and our focus on reliable, affordable and clean energy infrastructure solutions. After five years of exceeding our earnings growth objectives and strong performance by our teams, we look forward to the next five years of opportunity and are excited to be so well positioned for even stronger performance, with many of the projects that will deliver the next five years of growth already commercialized and well underway."

(3) Capital investments includes increases to property, plant, and equipment (growth & maintenance), purchases of and contributions to equity-method investments and purchases of other long-term investments.
(4) Fourth quarter and full-year 2025 capital excludes $712 million for certain reimbursable long-lead equipment and $372 million for the Louisiana LNG and Driftwood Pipeline purchase. Full-year 2025 capital also excludes $319 million for the Rimrock acquisition, which closed January 2025; $153 million for the investment in Cogentrix, which closed March 2025; and $43 million for the acquisition of Saber Midstream, which closed June 2025. Fourth quarter and full-year 2024 capital excludes $249 million for the Crowheart acquisition. Full-year 2024 capital also excludes $1.844 billion for the acquisition of the Gulf Coast Storage assets, which closed January 2024, and $151 million for the Discovery consolidation, which closed August 2024.

GAAP Measures

Fourth-quarter and full-year 2025 net income increased by $248 million and $393 million, respectively, compared to the prior year. Both comparative periods benefited from:

• Higher service revenues of $208 million and $720 million, respectively, driven by Transco’s higher net rates and expansion projects, new Gulf volumes, and higher gathering and processing volumes including acquisitions,
• Favorable changes of $252 million and $517 million, respectively, in net unrealized gains/losses on commodity derivatives, and
• Higher equity earnings of $182 million and $200 million, respectively, primarily reflecting an increased valuation of our Cogentrix investment and contributions from Appalachia Midstream and Blue Racer investments,
• Higher net realized sales from upstream operations of $29 million and $161 million, respectively, including contributions from the fourth-quarter 2024 Crowheart acquisition.

These favorable changes were impacted by:

• Impairments of certain assets totaling $187 million and $212 million, respectively, primarily related to the planned sale of gas gathering assets in the Mid-Continent region,
• A higher provision for income taxes of $153 million and $217 million, respectively, driven by increased pre-tax income,
• Higher depreciation expense, higher operating and administrative costs driven by acquisitions and assets placed in service, and higher net interest expense.
• The full-year period also reflected $301 million of lower investing income, driven by the absence of third-quarter 2024 gains totaling $276 million related to the sale of our Aux Sable interests and the Discovery Acquisition, as well as lower commodity margins, lower equity allowance for funds used during construction (equity AFUDC) associated with capital projects at Transco, and increased income attributable to noncontrolling interests.

Fourth-quarter and full-year 2025 cash flow from operations increased compared to the prior year primarily due to higher operating results exclusive of non-cash items. Both periods also benefited from favorable net changes in derivative collateral requirements.

Non-GAAP Measures

Fourth-quarter and full-year 2025 Adjusted EBITDA increased by $257 million and $670 million, respectively, over the prior year, driven by the previously described increases in service revenues and net realized sales from upstream operations, partially offset by higher operating and administrative costs. The full-year comparison was also impacted by lower equity AFUDC.

Fourth-quarter and full-year 2025 Adjusted Net Income improved by $93 million and $224 million, respectively, over the prior year, driven by the previously described impacts to net income, adjusted primarily to remove the effects of net unrealized gains/losses on commodity derivatives, the third-quarter 2024 investing income gains, the 2025 impairments, the equity earnings from the increased valuation of our Cogentrix investment, and the related income tax effects of such adjustments.

Fourth-quarter and full-year 2025 Available Funds From Operations (AFFO) increased by $312 million and $480 million, respectively, compared to the prior year primarily due to higher adjusted operating results exclusive of noncash items.

Note: Williams uses Modified EBITDA for its segment reporting. Definitions of Modified EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA and schedules reconciling to net income are included in this news release.

Transmission, Power & Gulf

Fourth-quarter and full-year 2025 Modified and Adjusted EBITDA improved compared to the prior year driven by Transco’s higher net rates and expansion projects, as well as new Gulf volumes. The full-year also reflects higher operating and administrative costs and lower equity AFUDC. Modified EBITDA for full-year 2024 was impacted by one-time acquisition costs and the unfavorable impact of a change in payroll policy, which are excluded from Adjusted EBITDA.

Northeast G&P

Fourth-quarter and full-year 2025 Modified and Adjusted EBITDA increased compared to the prior year driven primarily by higher gathering volumes at Bradford within Appalachia Midstream. The full-year period also benefited from higher volumes at Ohio Valley Midstream and contributions from Blue Racer, partially offset by the absence of Aux Sable, which was sold in third-quarter 2024.

West

Fourth-quarter and full-year 2025 Modified EBITDA was impacted by the previously described impairment of gas gathering assets in the Mid-Continent region, which is excluded from Adjusted EBITDA. Both Modified and Adjusted EBITDA for the quarterly and full-year periods benefited from the Louisiana Energy Gateway project coming into service, new volumes from the 2025 Rimrock and Saber acquisitions, and higher volumes in the Haynesville region, partially offset by lower minimum volume commitment (MVC) revenues in the Eagle Ford region.

Gas & NGL Marketing Services

Fourth-quarter and full-year 2025 Modified EBITDA increased from the prior year primarily reflecting $251 million and $481 million, respectively, of net favorable changes in unrealized gains/losses on commodity derivatives, which are excluded from Adjusted EBITDA. Both periods reflected lower gas marketing margins partially offset by proportional EBITDA from the March 2025 investment in Cogentrix.

Other

The increases in fourth-quarter and full-year 2025 Modified and Adjusted EBITDA compared to the prior year reflects contributions from the fourth-quarter 2024 Crowheart acquisition. Full-year Modified EBITDA also includes a $36 million net favorable change in unrealized gains/losses on commodity derivatives, which is excluded from Adjusted EBITDA.

2026 Financial Guidance

The company expects 2026 Adjusted EBITDA between $8.05 billion and $8.35 billion. The company also expects 2026 growth capex between $6.1 billion and $6.7 billion and maintenance capex between $850 million and $950 million. Williams anticipates a leverage ratio midpoint for 2026 of ~4.0x and has increased the dividend by 5% on an annualized basis to $2.10 in 2026 from $2.00 in 2025. Guidance for 2026 growth capex and debt-to-adjusted EBITDA exclude certain reimbursable long-lead equipment.

Non-GAAP Measures

This news release and accompanying materials may include certain financial measures – adjusted EBITDA, adjusted income (“earnings”), adjusted earnings per share, available funds from operations and dividend coverage ratio – that are non-GAAP financial measures as defined under the rules of the SEC.

Our segment performance measure, modified EBITDA, is defined as net income (loss) before income (loss) from discontinued operations, income tax expense, net interest expense, equity earnings from equity-method investments, other net investing income, impairments of equity investments and goodwill, depreciation and amortization expense, and accretion expense associated with asset retirement obligations for nonregulated operations. We also add our proportional ownership share (based on ownership interest) of modified EBITDA of equity-method investments, including our indirect share from interests owned by equity-method investees.

Adjusted EBITDA further excludes items of income or loss that we characterize as unrepresentative of our ongoing operations. Such items are excluded from net income to determine adjusted income and adjusted earnings per share. Management believes this measure provides investors meaningful insight into results from ongoing operations.

Available funds from operations (AFFO) is defined as cash flow from operations excluding the effect of changes in working capital and certain other changes in noncurrent assets and liabilities, reduced by preferred dividends and net distributions to noncontrolling interests. AFFO may be adjusted to exclude certain items that we characterize as unrepresentative of our ongoing operations.

This news release is accompanied by a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their nearest GAAP financial measures. Management uses these financial measures because they are accepted financial indicators used by investors to compare company performance. In addition, management believes that these measures provide investors an enhanced perspective of the operating performance of assets and the cash that the business is generating.

Neither adjusted EBITDA, adjusted income, nor available funds from operations are intended to represent cash flows for the period, nor are they presented as an alternative to net income or cash flow from operations. They should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for a measure of performance prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles.

Forward-Looking Statements

The reports, filings, and other public announcements of The Williams Companies, Inc. (Williams) may contain or incorporate by reference statements that do not directly or exclusively relate to historical facts. Such statements are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (Securities Act), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act). These forward-looking statements relate to anticipated financial performance, management’s plans and objectives for future operations, business prospects, outcomes of regulatory proceedings, market conditions, and other matters. We make these forward-looking statements in reliance on the safe harbor protections provided under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

All statements, other than statements of historical facts, included in this report that address activities, events, or developments that we expect, believe, or anticipate will exist or may occur in the future, are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements can be identified by various forms of words such as “anticipates,” “believes,” “seeks,” “could,” “may,” “should,” “continues,” “estimates,” “expects,” “forecasts,” “intends,” “might,” “goals,” “objectives,” “targets,” “planned,” “potential,” “projects,” “scheduled,” “will,” “assumes,” “guidance,” “outlook,” “in-service date,” or other similar expressions. These forward-looking statements are based on management’s beliefs and assumptions and on information currently available to management and include, among others, statements regarding:

• Levels of dividends to Williams' stockholders;
• Future credit ratings of Williams and its affiliates;
• Amounts and nature of future capital expenditures;
• Expansion and growth of business and operations;
• Expected in-service dates for capital projects;
• Financial condition and liquidity;
• Business strategy;
• Cash flow from operations or results of operations;
• Rate case filings;
• Seasonality of certain business components;
• Natural gas, natural gas liquids, and crude oil prices, supply, and demand;
• Demand for services.

Forward-looking statements are based on numerous assumptions, uncertainties, and risks that could cause future events or results to be materially different from those stated or implied in this report. Many of the factors that will determine these results are beyond our ability to control or predict. Specific factors that could cause actual results to differ from results contemplated by the forward-looking statements include, among others, the following:

• Availability of supplies, market demand, and volatility of prices;
• Development and rate of adoption of alternative energy sources;
• The impact of existing and future laws and regulations, the regulatory environment, environmental matters, and litigation, as well as our ability and the ability of other energy companies with whom we conduct or seek to conduct business, to obtain necessary permits and approvals, and our ability to achieve favorable rate proceeding outcomes;
• Exposure to the credit risk of customers and counterparties;
• Our ability to acquire new businesses and assets and successfully integrate those operations and assets into existing businesses as well as successfully expand our facilities, and consummate asset sales on acceptable terms;
• The ability to successfully identify, evaluate, and timely execute our capital projects and investment opportunities;
• The strength and financial resources of our competitors and the effects of competition;
• The amount of cash distributions from and capital requirements of our investments and joint ventures in which we participate;
• The ability to effectively execute our financing plan;
• Increasing scrutiny and changing expectations from stakeholders with respect to environmental, social, and governance practices;
• The physical and financial risks associated with climate change;
• The impacts of operational and developmental hazards and unforeseen interruptions;
• The risks resulting from outbreaks or other public health crises;
• Risks associated with weather and natural phenomena, including climate conditions and physical damage to our facilities;
• Acts of terrorism, cybersecurity incidents, and related disruptions;
• Costs and funding obligations for defined benefit pension plans and other postretirement benefit plans;
• Changes in maintenance and construction costs, as well as our ability to obtain sufficient construction-related inputs, including skilled labor;
• Inflation, interest rates, tariffs on foreign-made materials and goods (including steel and steel pipes) necessary to our business, and general economic conditions (including future disruptions and volatility in the global credit markets and the impact of these events on customers and suppliers);
• Risks related to financing, including restrictions stemming from debt agreements, future changes in credit ratings as determined by nationally recognized credit rating agencies, and the availability and cost of capital;
• The ability of the members of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries and other oil exporting nations to agree to and maintain oil price and production controls and the impact on domestic production;
• Changes in the current geopolitical situation, including the Russian invasion of Ukraine and conflicts in the Middle East;
• Changes in U.S. governmental administration and policies;
• Whether we are able to pay current and expected levels of dividends;
• Additional risks described in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

Given the uncertainties and risk factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement, we caution investors not to unduly rely on our forward-looking statements. We disclaim any obligations to, and do not intend to, update the above list or announce publicly the result of any revisions to any of the forward-looking statements to reflect future events or developments.

In addition to causing our actual results to differ, the factors listed above and referred to below may cause our intentions to change from those statements of intention set forth in this report. Such changes in our intentions may also cause our results to differ. We may change our intentions, at any time and without notice, based upon changes in such factors, our assumptions, or otherwise.

Because forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, we caution that there are important factors, in addition to those listed above, that may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. For a detailed discussion of those factors, see (a) Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, as filed with the SEC on February 25, 2025, (b) Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors in subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and (c) when filed with the SEC, Part I, Item 1A Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.
