Higher revenues associated with expansion projects at the West and the Transmission, Power & Gulf segments;

Higher volumes from the Northeast JV at the Northeast G&P segment;

Increased Gulf Coast storage rates at the Transmission, Power & Gulf segment.

The net sum of Product sales and service revenues – commodity consideration, Product costs and net processing commodity expenses, and net realized gains and losses on commodity derivatives related to sales of product and shrink gas purchases for processing plants for the reportable segments comprise Commodity Margins. Service revenues - commodity consideration represent payments received in the form of commodities for processing services provided. Most of these commodity volumes are sold during the month processed and are offset within Product costs and net processing commodity expenses. The sum of Product sales and net realized gains and losses on commodity derivatives related to the upstream operations comprise Net realized product sales.

The Product sales and service revenues – commodity consideration increase primarily consists of:

Higher marketing sales activities primarily related to higher NGL marketing sales activities and net gas marketing sales activities at the Gas & NGL Marketing Services segment;

Higher product sales from upstream operations primarily related to higher volumes in the Wamsutter region, substantially offset by lower volumes from the January 2026 sale of interests in certain upstream ventures in the South Mansfield area of the Haynesville Shale region (See Note 3 – Divestitures), at Other.

As Williams is acting as agent for natural gas marketing customers, its natural gas marketing product sales are presented net of the related costs of those activities within the Gas & NGL Marketing Services segment.

Net gain (loss) from commodity derivatives includes realized and unrealized gains and losses from derivative instruments reflected within Total revenues primarily in the Gas & NGL Marketing Services segment, as well as upstream operations at Other (see Note 8 – Commodity Derivatives).

Williams experiences significant earnings volatility from the fair value accounting required for the derivatives used to hedge a portion of the economic value of the underlying transportation and storage capacity portfolios as well as upstream-related production. However, the unrealized fair value measurement gains and losses on the derivatives are generally offset by valuation changes in the economic value of the underlying production or transportation and storage capacity contracts, which are not recognized until the underlying transaction occurs.

The Product costs and net processing commodity expenses increase primarily consists of higher marketing activities related to NGLs at the Transmission, Power & Gulf and Gas & NGL Marketing Services segments.

Operating and maintenance expenses increased primarily due to higher employee-related costs and operating taxes.

Depreciation, depletion, and amortization expenses decreased primarily related to lower Transco rates at the Transmission, Power & Gulf segment and the sale of the South Mansfield interests at Other, partially offset by assets placed in service at the West segment.

Gain on sale of certain assets reflects an additional gain from the sale of the South Mansfield interests, at Other.

Other investing income (loss) – netreflects a gain from the sale of an equity-method investment in Brazos Permian II, LLC at the West segment.

Interest expense was unfavorably impacted by 2025 and 2026 debt issuances, partially offset by 2025 and 2026 debt retirements (see Note 6 – Debt and Banking Arrangements) and higher interest capitalized due to ongoing expansion projects.

Provision (benefit) for income taxes changed unfavorably primarily due to higher pre-tax income. See Note 5 – Provision (Benefit) for Income Taxes for a discussion of the effective tax rate compared to the federal statutory rate for both periods.

Higher revenues associated with expansion projects at the Transmission, Power & Gulf and the West segments;

Increased Transco transportation rates and Gulf Coast storage rates at the Transmission, Power & Gulf segment;

Higher volumes from the Northeast JV at the Northeast G&P segment.

The Product sales and service revenues – commodity consideration increase primarily consists of:

Higher marketing sales activities primarily related to higher net gas marketing sales activities and NGL marketing sales activities at the Gas & NGL Marketing Services segment; partially offset by

Lower product sales from upstream operations primarily related to lower volumes from the sale of the South Mansfield interests; partially offset by higher volumes in the Wamsutter region, at Other.

Net gain (loss) from commodity derivatives includes realized and unrealized gains and losses from derivative instruments reflected within Total revenues primarily in the Gas & NGL Marketing Services segment, as well as upstream operations at Other.

The Product costs and net processing commodity expenses decrease primarily consists of lower marketing activities related to NGLs at the West and Gas & NGL Marketing Services segments.

Operating and maintenance expenses increased primarily due to higher operating taxes and employee-related expenses.

Depreciation, depletion, and amortization expenses decreased primarily related to lower Transco rates at the Transmission, Power & Gulf segment and the sale of the South Mansfield interests at Other, partially offset by assets placed in service at the West segment.

Gain on sale of certain assets reflects gains from the sale of the South Mansfield interests, at Other.

Other investing income (loss) – netreflects a gain from the sale of an equity-method investment in Brazos Permian II, LLC at the West segment.

Interest expense was unfavorably impacted by 2025 and 2026 debt issuances, partially offset by 2025 and 2026 debt retirements and higher interest capitalized due to ongoing expansion projects.

The favorable change in Other income (expense) – net includes an increase in equity AFUDC primarily as a result of capital projects at the regulated businesses.

Provision (benefit) for income taxes changed unfavorably primarily due to higher pre-tax income.

Period-Over-Period Operating Results – Williams’ Segments

Williams’ CODM evaluates segment operating performance based upon Modified EBITDA. Note 10 – Segment Disclosures includes a reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure to Income (loss) before income taxes. Management uses Modified EBITDA because it is an accepted financial indicator used by investors to compare company performance. In addition, management believes that this measure provides investors an enhanced perspective of the operating performance of Williams’ assets. Modified EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for a measure of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.
