Second Quarter 2023 Results and Commentary

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, Kinetik processed natural gas volumes of 1.48 Bcf/d and 1.42 Bcf/d, respectively, and reported net income including noncontrolling interest of $71.7 million and $76.0 million, respectively. Kinetik generated Adjusted EBITDA1 of $208.0 million and $395.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, Distributable Cash Flow (“DCF”)1 of $144.0 million and $270.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, and Free Cash Flow (“FCF”)1 of $(82.1) million and $(56.2) million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. The results were primarily driven by increased volumes across both the Midstream Logistics and Pipeline Transportation segments.

“Building off the momentum of a strong first quarter and our announced entry into New Mexico, we are pleased to report our second quarter 2023 results,” said Jamie Welch, Kinetik’s Chief Executive Officer and President. “Within our Midstream Logistics segment, processed gas volumes increased 10% quarter-over-quarter attributable to elevated producer turn-in-line activity and encouraging well results. This was despite the heat-related weather challenges faced across the Permian basin in May and June where record temperatures affected the ability of producers, utilities and service providers to maintain equipment run times and production.

“During the second quarter, we successfully executed several new gas gathering and processing agreements. Notably, one of these new commercial agreements is with a Lea County, New Mexico customer supported by a minimum volume commitment. This new multi-year agreement is expected to commence in the first quarter of 2024 following the in-service of our New Mexico system expansion. We continue to have constructive commercial discussions with several New Mexico producers and are excited for the opportunities to further expand our business. These recent commercial successes further reinforce the highly strategic value of the projects in our 2023 capital program. Following the completion of the New Mexico expansion, Delaware Link, and PHP expansion, we can offer New Mexico producers a ‘wellhead to Gulf Coast market’ solution on wholly- or partially-owned Kinetik infrastructure for both natural gas and natural gas liquids.

“As we enter the second half of the year, we forecast quarter-over-quarter Adjusted EBITDA1 growth at our Midstream Logistics segment attributable to expected higher gas processed volumes and improved commodity prices as compared to the first half of 2023. Within our Pipeline Transportation segment, we are excited about the previously announced projects which are expected to be placed in-service in the fourth quarter of 2023. Taken together, our outlook is tracking towards the high end of our 2023 Adjusted EBITDA1 Guidance Range and at the top end of our 2023 Capital Expenditures range. In addition, the Free Cash Flow1 outlook for 2024 remains robust as significant year-on-year Adjusted EBITDA1 growth is coupled with less than $150 million of expected Capital Expenditures. The future is certainly looking bright at Kinetik as we expand our system footprint, grow our volume base, and have continued commercial success.”

Kinetik remains highly focused on its capital allocation priorities and maximizing shareholder value. In the second quarter, the Company opportunistically repurchased $3.3 million of shares of Class A common stock under the previously announced $100 million Repurchase Program. Year to date, Kinetik has repurchased $5.8 million of shares, leaving $94.2 million of remaining authorized capacity for additional share repurchases that the Company may opportunistically execute at any time. The approximately 194,000 repurchased shares will partially offset issuances pursuant to the Company’s Dividend and Distribution Reinvestment Plan.

Notes Regarding Presentation of Financial Information

The following addresses the results of our operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to our results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. As the business combination between BCP Raptor Holdco, LP, Kinetik’s predecessor for accounting purposes (“BCP”) and Altus Midstream LP (“Altus”) (the “Transaction”) was determined to be a reverse merger, BCP was considered the accounting acquirer and Altus was considered the legal acquirer. Therefore, BCP’s net assets, carrying at historical value, were presented as the predecessor to the Company’s historical financial statements and the comparable period presented herein reflects the results of operations of BCP for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and Altus’ results of operations from February 22, 2022, the closing date of the Transaction, through June 30, 2022. Kinetik’s financial results on and after February 22, 2022 reflect the results of the combined company.

Unless otherwise noted or the context requires otherwise, references herein to Kinetik Holdings Inc. or “the Company” with respect to time periods prior to February 22, 2022 include BCP and its consolidated subsidiaries and do not include Altus and its consolidated subsidiaries, while references herein to Kinetik Holdings Inc. with respect to time periods from and after February 22, 2022 include Altus and its consolidated subsidiaries.

The Company completed a two-for-one Stock Split on June 8, 2022. All corresponding per-share and share amounts for periods prior to June 8, 2022 have been retroactively restated to reflect the two-for-one Stock Split.

(1) The results of the legacy Altus business are not included in the Company’s consolidated financials prior to February 22, 2022.

(2) Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income including noncontrolling interests adjusted for interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, impairment charges, asset write-offs, the proportionate EBITDA from our equity method investments, equity in earnings from investments recorded using the equity method, share-based compensation expense, 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 noncontrolling interests or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP.

(3) Distributable Cash Flow is defined as Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted for the proportionate EBITDA from our equity method investments, operating cash distributions received from our equity method investments, interest expense, net of amounts capitalized, distributions to preferred unitholders and maintenance capital expenditures. Distributable Cash Flow should not be considered as an alternative to the GAAP measure of net income including noncontrolling interests 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.

(4) Free Cash Flow is defined as Distributable Cash Flow adjusted for growth capital expenditures, investments in EMI’s, investing cash distributions received from our equity method investments, cash interest and contributions in aid of construction. Free Cash flow should not be considered as an alternative to the GAAP measure of net income including noncontrolling interests 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.

(5) Net Debt is defined as total long-term debt, excluding deferred financing costs, 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.
