ECCC Pipeline. The ECCC Pipeline is under construction and will provide connection from Eddy County, New Mexico to Culberson County, Texas, and approximately 150 MMcfp/d of initial rich gas throughput capacity. The ECCC Pipeline is estimated to be in service during the second quarter of 2026.

Current report

On March 31, 2026, the Partnership executed Amendment No. 2 to its accounts receivable securitization facility, with PNC Bank. Pursuant to this amendment, the facility limit was reduced to $225.0 million, and the scheduled termination date was extended to March 30, 2027. Furthermore, Amendment No. 2 introduced an option permitting Kinetik Receivables to request an increase in commitments of up to $50.0 million in aggregate, subject to the Purchaser’s approval. Amendment No. 2 also removed all sustainability-linked pricing provisions from the A/R Facility, including the sustainability rate adjustment, sustainability fee adjustment and related reporting obligations.

Current report

There has been, and we believe there will continue to be, volatility in commodity prices and in the relationships among NGLs, crude oil and natural gas prices. Recent geopolitical developments in the Middle East, including the ongoing military conflict involving Iran, the closure of the Strait of Hormuz and related disruptions to global energy markets, each have contributed to heightened volatility in crude oil, natural gas, and NGL pricing and increased uncertainty in global supply chains. While the Company’s midstream assets and operations are primarily located in the Permian Basin and our service revenue is supported by fee‑based contracts, our product sales revenue is exposed to commodity price fluctuations. In addition, sustained volatility in global energy markets could indirectly impact producer activity levels, customer credit profiles, and overall demand for our services. Furthermore, prolonged geopolitical instability may contribute to broader macroeconomic effects, including inflationary pressures, higher interest rates, and constrained capital availability. The Company continues to monitor commodity prices closely and may enter into commodity price hedges to mitigate the volatility risk. In addition, the Company, when economically appropriate, enters into fee-based and NGL arbitrage arrangements that insulate the Company from commodity price volatility.

Current report

For the three months ended March 31, 2026, revenue decreased by $33.3 million, or 8%, to $410.0 million, compared to $443.3 million for the same period in 2025. The decrease was primarily driven by lower gas service revenues on gathered gas volumes where we function as an agent versus principal.

Current report

Product revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was flat compared to the same period in 2025, due to the confluence of offsetting variables. Period-over-period NGL prices and natural gas residue prices decreased by $5.59 per barrel, or 23% and $1.43 per MMBtu, or 53%, respectively. These pricing decreases were partially offset by period-over-period increases in NGL and condensate volumes sold of 3.2 million barrels, or 26%. Period-over-period increases in natural gas residue sales volumes of 0.9 million MMBtu, or 9%, and condensate prices of $1.08 per barrel, or 2%, also helped partially offset the pricing headwinds. Product revenue was also impacted by our commodity hedging activities. Realized and unrealized losses increased $25.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025. Product revenues are included entirely in the Midstream Logistics segment.

Current report

General and administrative expenses increased by $6.6 million, or 18%, to $44.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $37.6 million for the same period in 2025. The increase was mainly driven by an increase in legal fees of $9.0 million, partially offset by a decrease in labor and professional fees of $2.2 million.

Current report

Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $9.2 million, or 10%, to $101.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $92.7 million for the same period in 2025. Of the total increase, $6.3 million relates to Durango and Kings Landing being placed into service in September 2025, and the balance is associated with new assets being placed in service over the course of 2025.

Current report

Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates decreased by $6.3 million, or 11%, to $51.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $57.5 million for the same period in 2025. The decrease was primarily driven by decreases in equity in earnings from Breviloba of $5.6 million due to normal operations, and EPIC of $3.4 million due to the divestiture of the Company’s equity interest in EPIC in October 2025. The decrease was partially offset by an increase in equity in earnings from PHP of $2.7 million.

Current report

For the three months ended March 31, 2026, Adjusted EBITDA increased by $1.2 million, or 0.5%, to $251.2 million, compared to $250.0 million for the same period in 2025. As discussed in Item 2.Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Results of Operations to this Quarterly Report, the change reflected lower operating revenues of $33.3 million, which was primarily driven by an increase in unrealized loss on commodity hedging activities of $28.9 million, thus mostly EBITDA neutral, and lower proportionate EMI EBITDA of $17.5 million, partially offset by lower cost of sales (excluding depreciation and amortization), operating expenses, ad valorem taxes and general and administrative expenses, totaling $19.4 million. The remaining decrease was fully offset by higher net one-time costs related primarily to integration and litigation totaling $3.5 million.

Current report

Midstream Logistics Segment Adjusted EBITDA increased by $18.7 million, or 12%, to $178.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $160.2 million for the same period in 2025. The change reflected lower cost of sales (excluding depreciation and amortization), operating expenses, ad valorem taxes and general and administrative expenses totaling $26.0 million, partially offset by a lower operating revenues of $33.2 million, which was primarily driven by an increase in unrealized loss on commodity hedging activities of $28.9 million, which is EBITDA neutral. The reasons for the fluctuations are discussed in Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Results of Operations to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Current report

Pipeline Transportation Segment Adjusted EBITDA decreased by $15.9 million, or 17%, to $78.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $93.9 million for the same period in 2025. The decrease was mainly due to lower proportionate EMI EBITDA of $17.5 million, primarily related to the divestiture of the Company’s equity interest in EPIC during October 2025.

Current report

On March 31, 2026, the Partnership executed Amendment No. 2 to its Amended A/R Facility, with PNC Bank. Pursuant to this amendment, the facility limit was reduced to $225.0 million, and the scheduled termination date was extended to March 30, 2027. Furthermore, Amendment No. 2 introduced an option permitting Kinetik Receivables to request an increase in commitments of up to $50.0 million in aggregate, subject to the Purchaser’s approval. Amendment No. 2 also removed all sustainability-linked pricing provisions previously applicable under the A/R Facility. As of March 31, 2026, eligible accounts receivable of $187.1 million were pledged to the Amended A/R Facility as collateral and $37.9 million was available to be invested by the purchasers.

Previous report

On August 30, 2025, Altus Midstream Processing LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“Altus”) and indirect subsidiary of the Company, Kinetik EC Holdco LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and indirect subsidiary of the Company (“Kinetik EC” and, together with Altus, the “Kinetik Sellers”), and, solely for the purposes set forth therein, Kinetik Holdings LP, a subsidiary of the Company, entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement with Rattler Midstream Operating LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Rattler”), Rattler OMOG LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Rattler OMOG” together with Rattler, the “Diamondback Sellers” and, the Diamondback Sellers together with the Kinetik Sellers, the “Sellers”), Plains BK Holdco LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Buyer”), and, solely for the purposes set forth therein, each of Plains All American Pipeline, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, and Rattler Midstream LP, a Delaware limited partnership, pursuant to which the Sellers have agreed to sell all of their respective partnership interests in EPIC, collectively representing 55% of the outstanding interests in EPIC, to Buyer for a total purchase price of approximately $1.8 billion (the “EPIC Sale”), consisting of approximately $1.6 billion of cash (subject to customary adjustments, including deductions for outstanding indebtedness) to be paid at closing (the “Purchase Price”) and an additional $192.5 million of contingent cash in the form of an earn out, payable upon the approval by the board of directors of the general partner of EPIC of one or more capital projects that achieve certain capacity expansion criteria (the “Earn Out”).

Previous report

On October 31, 2025, the Company consummated the EPIC Sale and received $504.2 million of upfront cash consideration in exchange for its 27.5% interest in EPIC. In addition, the Company can receive approximately $96 million attributable to an earn out, payable upon the approval by the board of directors of the general partner of EPIC of one or more capital projects that achieve certain capacity expansion criteria.

Previous report

There has been, and we believe there will continue to be, volatility in commodity prices and in the relationships among NGLs, crude oil and natural gas prices. As a result of uncertainty around global commodity supply and demand, global geopolitical conflicts, foreign and domestic trade policies implemented by the Trump Administration and response thereto, and recent action by OPEC+, global oil and natural gas commodity prices continue to remain volatile. The volatility and uncertainty of natural gas, crude oil and NGL prices impact drilling, completion and other investment decisions by producers and ultimately supply to our systems. In addition, the instability of the international political environment and human and economic hardship resulting from the armed conflicts would have a highly uncertain impact on the U.S. economy, which in turn, might affect our business and operations adversely. Moreover, the impact of tariffs imposed by the Trump Administration and foreign governments is highly uncertain. Our product sales revenue is exposed to commodity price fluctuations. Therefore, commodity price decline and sustained periods of low natural gas, NGL, and condensate prices could have an adverse effect on our product revenue stream. The Company continues to monitor commodity prices closely and may enter into commodity price hedges to mitigate the volatility risk. In addition, the Company, when economically appropriate, enters into fee-based and NGL arbitrage arrangements that insulate the Company from commodity price volatility.

Previous report

In addition, our business requires access to steel and other materials to construct and maintain our pipelines and other midstream assets. Imposition of, or increase in, tariffs on imports of steel or other materials, as well as corresponding price increases for such materials available domestically, could increase our construction costs and our costs to maintain our assets. The Company continues to monitor costs of materials used for capital expenditure and considers budget-to-actual and forecast-to-actual variances on a monthly basis to mitigate volatility risk. See Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors for additional discussion.

Previous wording

The annual rate of inflation in the United States was 3.0% in September 2025 as measured by the Consumer Price Index. In light of the recent economic activity and labor market conditions, the Federal Open Market Committee (the “FOMC”) decided to lower the target range for the federal funds rate to 3.75% - 4.00 % during its meeting in October 2025. During the meeting, the FOMC noted that the economic activity has been expanding at a moderate pace; job gains have slowed, the unemployment rate has edged up but remains low, and inflation has moved up and remains somewhat elevated. The FOMC also noted that it remains attentive to the risks to both sides of its dual mandate, judges that downside risks to employment have risen in recent months and seeks to achieve maximum employment and inflation at the rate of 2.00%. The Company will continue to monitor the FOMC’s monetary policy and interest rate movement. Refer to Note 12—Derivatives and Hedging Activities in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report for additional discussion regarding our hedging strategies and objectives for interest rate risk.

Current wording

The annual rate of inflation in the United States was 3.3% in March 2026 as measured by the Consumer Price Index. In light of the recent economic activity and labor market conditions, the FOMC decided to maintain the target range for the federal funds rate at 3.50% - 3.75% during its meeting in April 2026. During the meeting, the FOMC suggested that the economic activity has been expanding at a solid pace; job gains have remained low, the unemployment rate has changed minimally in the recent months and inflation remains somewhat elevated, in part reflecting the recent increase in global energy prices. The FOMC also noted that uncertainty about the economic outlook remained elevated, including because of the implications of developments in the Middle East. The FOMC remains attentive to the risks to both sides of its dual mandate and seeks to achieve maximum employment and inflation at the rate of 2.00% over the long run. The Company will continue to monitor the FOMC’s monetary policy and interest rate movement.
