Adjusted EBITDA financial
"Kinetik generated Adjusted EBITDA1 of $280.8 million and $532.0 million"
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.
Distributable Cash Flow financial
"Distributable Cash Flow1 of $194.9 million and $375.8 million"
Distributable cash flow is the amount of money a business generates from its operations that management considers available to pay dividends, buy back shares, or make other distributions to owners after setting aside what’s needed to keep the business running and meet routine obligations. Investors care because it shows how much real cash can be returned to them—like a household’s leftover paycheck after paying rent and groceries—and helps judge whether payouts are sustainable and backed by operations rather than accounting entries.
Free Cash Flow financial
"Free Cash Flow1 of $105.2 million and $206.6 million"
Free cash flow is the amount of money a company has left over after paying all its expenses and investing in its business, like buying equipment or updating facilities. It shows how much cash is available to reward shareholders, pay down debt, or save for future growth. This helps investors understand if a company is financially healthy and able to grow.
Dividend Coverage Ratio financial
"Dividend Coverage Ratio 1,3 was 1.47x for the quarter"
Dividend coverage ratio measures how many times a company’s earnings can pay for its dividend — calculated by dividing profits (or earnings per share) by the dividend paid per share. It tells investors whether a dividend is comfortably covered or at risk, similar to checking whether your monthly paycheck is big enough to cover a recurring allowance; a higher ratio suggests the dividend is safer and leaves room for growth or downturns.
Net Debt financial
"Net Debt 1,4 was $3,940,170 as of June 30, 2026"
Net debt is the total amount a company owes after subtracting the cash and assets it has that can be used to pay off that debt. It shows how much debt is truly a burden, helping investors understand if a company is financially healthy or heavily borrowed. Think of it like calculating how much money you owe after using your savings to pay part of it.
Final investment decision financial
"reached final investment decision for Kings Landing II ("KLII")"
A final investment decision is the point at which a person or organization chooses to move forward with a particular project or purchase after reviewing all the necessary information and options. It is like deciding to buy a house after considering all the costs, benefits, and alternatives. This decision is important because it determines whether and when the investment will be made, impacting future financial plans and outcomes.
Total operating revenues Q2 2026 $581.4 million up from $426.7 million in Q2 2025
Net income including noncontrolling interest Q2 2026 $123.1 million up from $74.4 million in Q2 2025
Adjusted EBITDA Q2 2026 $280.8 million up from $242.9 million in Q2 2025

Kinetik Reports Record Second Quarter 2026 Results and Raises Full Year 2026 Guidance
HOUSTON and MIDLAND, Texas, August 5, 2026 – Kinetik Holdings Inc. (NYSE: KNTK) (“Kinetik” or the “Company”) today reported record results for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 and increased its full year 2026 Adjusted EBITDA1 guidance.
Kinetik reported net income including noncontrolling interest of $123.1 million and $118.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively. Kinetik generated Adjusted EBITDA1 of $280.8 million and $532.0 million, Distributable Cash Flow1 of $194.9 million and $375.8 million, and Free Cash Flow1 of $105.2 million and $206.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively.
Highlights
Record financial results in the second quarter of 2026, supported by outstanding operational execution, robust system performance, and commodity margin outperformance
Final investment decision for Kings Landing II (“KLII”), expanding system processing capacity to 2.7 Bcf/d in 2028
ECCC Pipeline placed into service, enhancing north-to-south system connectivity, with right-of-way procurement now underway to support an anticipated expansion in 2027
Secured incremental firm Gulf Coast market access for residue gas, commencing in 2027 and providing producer customers with premium pricing options
Executed new residue and natural gas liquids transport agreements, strengthening egress capacity portfolio and netback pricing for Delaware North processing complexes
Board authorization of long-lead equipment procurement for the next processing capacity expansion beyond KLII, proactively aligning supply chain with accelerating customer development plans
Increasing full year 2026 Financial Guidance:
Adjusted EBITDA1 guidance of $1.04 billion to $1.1 billion, reflecting stronger volumes, improved margins, and operational performance
Capital Expenditures2 guidance of approximately $560 million (including maintenance), driven by KLII, accelerated producer development into late 2026 and early 2027, optimization projects across operations, procurement of long-lead equipment for Kinetik’s next processing capacity expansion, and right-of-way procurement for an expansion of ECCC Pipeline
CEO Commentary
“Kinetik delivered exceptional second quarter 2026 results, significantly exceeding expectations,” said Jamie Welch, Kinetik’s President & Chief Executive Officer. “Our performance during the quarter demonstrates the strength and resilience of our integrated business model, the quality and diversification of our asset footprint, and our continued strong operational performance, which enabled Kinetik to deliver the strongest financial results in Company history.”

“We advanced numerous initiatives this quarter, including reaching final investment decision (“FID”) on KLII, completing the ECCC Pipeline with right-of-way procurement beginning for an anticipated 2027 expansion, and commencing drilling operations at the Kings Landing acid gas injection (“AGI”) well. Furthermore, we have initiated procurement of long-lead equipment for the next processing plant after KLII given updated development plans and new customer commitments.”

Welch added, “The increase to our 2026 Adjusted EBITDA1 guidance reflects not only outperformance in the first half of the year, but also an increase relative to original expectations for the remainder of the year. We now anticipate Adjusted EBITDA1 to be between $260 million and $270 million in the third quarter and $270 million to $280 million in the fourth quarter.”

“Momentum is building across our system and is expected to be a strong tailwind into 2027. Curtailments have eased, customer activity is pulling forward, and the market increasingly recognizes the critical role the Permian Basin plays in meeting growing U.S. natural gas demand, anchored by LNG exports and data center developments. Kinetik is exceptionally well positioned to capitalize on this structural growth, reinforcing our tremendous confidence in 2027 and beyond.”

Segment Insights
The Midstream Logistics segment generated Adjusted EBITDA1 of $204.8 million, a 35% increase year-over-year for the three months ended June 30, 2026. Kinetik processed natural gas volumes of 1.74 Bcf/d in the second quarter of 2026, flat year-over-year despite an estimated 250 MMcf/d of Waha price-related processed gas volume shut-ins. Second quarter 2026 results benefited from strong system operating performance, improved natural gas liquid (“NGL”) recoveries and condensate yields, optimization opportunities, and favorable commodity prices and spreads.

The Pipeline Transportation segment generated Adjusted EBITDA1 of $83.0 million, a 14% decrease year-over-year for the three months ended June 30, 2026, due to the Company’s divestiture in late 2025 of its equity interest in EPIC Crude Holdings, LP (“EPIC Crude”). Permian Highway Pipeline outperformed year-over-year on lower fuel costs and higher gross margin. Additionally, Shin Oak outperformed expectations due to more robust throughput volumes.
Raising 2026 Outlook and Guidance
Kinetik is increasing its full year 2026 Adjusted EBITDA1 guidance to be between $1.04 billion and $1.1 billion. The revised midpoint represents a 7% increase from the original 2026 guidance issued in February and an approximately 15% increase year-over-year pro forma the EPIC Crude divestiture.9

Updated Adjusted EBITDA1 guidance assumes:
Approximately 25 MMcf/d of curtailments on average for the second half of 2026;
2026 processed gas volume exit rate10 of nearly 2.2 Bcf/d, an increase of approximately 20% exit-to-exit; and
Updated full year 2026 average commodity prices11 of $78.65 per barrel for WTI, $2.83 per MMBtu for Houston Ship Channel natural gas, ($0.26) per MMBtu for Waha Hub natural gas, and $0.62 per gallon for composite NGLs.

Kinetik is also increasing its 2026 Capital Expenditures2 guidance (including maintenance) to approximately $560 million to reflect:
FID of KLII;
Acceleration of customer development plans into late 2026 and early 2027;
Optimization projects across operations;
Purchase of long-lead equipment items relating to the next processing capacity expansion; and
Right-of-way procurement for an expansion of ECCC Pipeline.

Strategic Projects & Commercial Activity
In May 2026, Kinetik reached FID on KLII. Upon completion, total Delaware North sour gas processing capacity will exceed 700 MMcf/d. Processing, amine, and residue compression equipment has been purchased. Total capital is expected to be approximately $260 million. KLII is now expected to be completed in mid-2028, earlier than previously communicated.

The ECCC Pipeline was placed into service, establishing a north-to-south connection across the western portion of Kinetik's system between Eddy and Culberson Counties. Rich gas throughput volumes on the pipeline are expected to increase throughout the balance of the year as Kings Landing I reaches full utilization. Given ECCC Pipeline utilization expectations and continued customer growth in New Mexico, Kinetik has initiated right-of-way procurement to support an expansion.

Following approval of all permitting earlier this year, the Company's acid gas injection and sour conversion project remains on schedule with site construction activities and drilling operations underway. Project in-service is expected by year-end 2026.

Kinetik continues to make progress on Diamond Volt, its 40 MW behind-the-meter power generation project at the Diamond Cryo Complex, with in-service anticipated in the second quarter of 2027.

Kinetik’s Board of Directors has also approved the purchase of long-lead equipment for a processing expansion beyond KLII, positioning the Company to keep pace with its customer growth as overall activity has continued to increase. These investments reinforce Kinetik's confidence in the long-term growth of its business.

Several commercial initiatives were recently executed that further strengthen Kinetik’s integrated Permian-to-Gulf Coast platform, address demand needs, and expand market optionality.

The Company secured firm access to additional Gulf Coast netback residue gas pricing in 2027, enhancing its integrated residue gas offering and providing its customers with premium price assurance.

Kinetik also signed residue gas and NGL transportation agreements for its Delaware North processing complexes, providing diversified market access, improving customer netbacks, and increasing operational flexibility. These agreements support continued customer growth and strengthen the outlook for Kinetik’s existing and expanding Delaware North processing capacity.

Reconciliations of these forward-looking non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measure are not available without unreasonable efforts. This is due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting the timing or amount of various reconciling items that would impact the most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP financial measure, that have not yet occurred, are out of Kinetik’s control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted. Accordingly, such reconciliation is excluded from this news release. Forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures provided without the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures may vary materially from the corresponding GAAP financial measures.

(1) Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income including noncontrolling interest adjusted for interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, gain or loss on disposal of assets and debt extinguishment, the proportionate EBITDA from our EMI pipelines, share-based compensation expense, noncash increases and decreases related to commodity hedging activities, integration and transaction costs and extraordinary losses and unusual or non-recurring charges. Adjusted EBITDA provides a basis for comparison of our business operations between current, past and future periods by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to the GAAP measure of net income including non-controlling interest or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP.
(2) Distributable Cash Flow is defined as Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted for the proportionate EBITDA from unconsolidated affiliates, returns on invested capital from unconsolidated affiliates, interest expense, net of amounts capitalized, unrealized gains or losses on interest rate swaps and maintenance capital expenditures. Distributable Cash Flow should not be considered as an alternative to the GAAP measure of net income including non-controlling interest or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP. We believe that Distributable Cash Flow is a useful measure to compare cash generation performance from period to period and to compare the cash generation performance for specific periods to the amount of cash dividends we make.
(3) Free Cash Flow is defined as Distributable Cash Flow adjusted for growth capital expenditures, investments in unconsolidated affiliates, returns of invested capital from unconsolidated affiliates and contributions in aid of construction. Free Cash flow should not be considered as an alternative to the GAAP measure of net income including non-controlling interest or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP. We believe that Free Cash Flow is a useful performance measure to compare cash generation performance from period to period and to compare the cash generation performance for specific periods to the amount of cash dividends that we make.
(4) Net Debt is defined as total short-term and long-term debt, excluding deferred financing costs, premiums and discounts, less cash and cash equivalents. Net Debt illustrates our total debt position less cash on hand that could be utilized to pay down debt at the balance sheet date. Net Debt should not be considered as an alternative to the GAAP measure of total long-term debt, or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP.
