  • Closed on acquisition of Trace Midstream gathering assets in Haynesville
  • Reached rate case settlement in principle with Northwest Pipeline customers
  • Released Sustainability Report showing progress toward Williams' 2030 climate commitment; focus on social and governance issues

CEO Perspective

Alan Armstrong, president and chief executive officer, made the following comments:

“Our natural gas focused strategy continues to outperform with second-quarter Adjusted EBITDA up 14 percent over the same period last year due to the strong earnings growth of our core business and also at our JV upstream operations in the Wamsutter and Haynesville supply areas. Record gathering volumes, continued execution of expansion projects, as well as favorable commodity prices drove the quarterly increase. As a result of our core business strength and better-than-planned market fundamentals, we are raising our 2022 EBITDA guidance midpoint to $6.25 billion, which is an 8% increase from our original guidance midpoint of $5.8 billion.

“As we enter the back half of the year, we are executing on a full slate of growth projects in and around our existing infrastructure to move additional natural gas from key supply basins to growing markets for clean-power generation, residential and commercial use. We recently closed on the strategic acquisition of gathering assets from Trace Midstream and reached a final investment decision on the Louisiana Energy Gateway, a 1.8 Bcf/d project to gather Haynesville natural gas into premium markets, including growing LNG export demand along the Gulf Coast. In addition, we continue to grow our network in the deepwater Gulf of Mexico while advancing multiple gas gathering projects in the Northeast and progressing on expansions along our Transco system.

Armstrong added, “With the strong outlook for global natural gas demand and the growing need for secure and reliable supplies amid geopolitical volatility and climate concerns, Williams is well positioned to create long-term shareholder value. Our latest Sustainability Report, published last week, details the progress we are making on critical ESG-related fronts, including our climate commitment and initiatives focused on building thriving communities, environmental stewardship and workforce diversity. I appreciate our employees for their commitment to sustainable operations and emissions reductions efforts as we leverage our leading infrastructure to deliver the natural gas that is driving the clean energy economy."

GAAP Measures

  • Second-quarter 2022 net income increased by $96 million compared to the prior year reflecting the benefit of higher service revenues from commodity-based rates, the Trace Acquisition and Transco’s Leidy South project being in service, higher commodity margins, and higher results from our upstream operations associated with increased scale of operations, more than offset by a $241 million net unrealized loss on commodity derivatives in 2022, increased intangible asset amortization, and planned higher operating and administrative expenses driven by the increased scale of our upstream operations and higher employee-related costs, including those resulting from the Sequent acquisition. The tax provision benefited from $134 million associated with the release of valuation allowances on deferred income tax assets and federal income tax settlements.
  • Year-to-date 2022 net income increased by $50 million compared to the prior year reflecting similar drivers to those described for the quarter, further impacted by the absence of a $77 million favorable impact in 2021 from Winter Storm Uri.
  • Cash flow from operations for the second quarter of 2022 increased as compared to 2021 primarily due to higher operating results exclusive of non-cash items, and higher distributions from equity-method investments, partially offset by an unfavorable change in margin deposits associated with commodity derivatives. Year-to-date cash flow from operations also increased compared to 2021 driven by similar factors, except for a favorable change in margin deposits associated with commodity derivatives.

Non-GAAP Measures

  • Second-quarter 2022 Adjusted EBITDA increased by $179 million over the prior year, driven by the previously described benefits from service revenues, commodity margins, and upstream operations, partially offset by planned higher operating and administrative costs. Year-to-date 2022 Adjusted EBITDA increased by $275 million over the prior year due to similar drivers and also reflecting the absence of the favorable impact in 2021 from Winter Storm Uri.
  • Second-quarter 2022 Adjusted Income improved by $157 million over the prior year, driven by the previously described impacts to net income, adjusted primarily to remove the effects of net unrealized losses on commodity derivatives, amortization of certain assets from the Sequent acquisition, and favorable income tax benefits. Year-to-date 2022 Adjusted Income improved by $227 million over the prior year for similar reasons.
  • Second-quarter 2022 Available Funds From Operations (AFFO) increased by $211 million compared to the prior year primarily due to higher operating results exclusive of non-cash items and higher distributions from equity-method investments. Year-to-date 2022 AFFO increased by $372 million reflecting similar drivers.

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 & Gulf of Mexico

  • Second-quarter and year-to-date 2022 Modified and Adjusted EBITDA improved compared to the prior year driven by higher service revenues from Transco’s Leidy South expansion project largely offset by higher operating and administrative costs.

Northeast G&P

  • Second-quarter 2022 Modified and Adjusted EBITDA increased over the prior year driven by higher service revenues, primarily related to higher volumes and gathering rate escalations.
  • Both Modified and Adjusted EBITDA also improved for the year-to-date 2022 period, similarly reflecting gathering rate escalations and net increased contributions from equity-investees, partially offset by higher operating and administrative costs.

West

  • Second-quarter and year-to-date 2022 Modified and Adjusted EBITDA increased compared to the prior year benefiting from higher commodity-based rates and higher Haynesville gathering volumes, as well as contributions from Trace Midstream acquired in April.

Gas & NGL Marketing Services

  • Second-quarter 2022 Modified EBITDA declined from the prior year primarily reflecting a $288 million net unrealized loss on commodity derivatives in 2022, which is excluded from Adjusted EBITDA. Both measures were also impacted by higher commodity margins and higher administrative costs associated with the Sequent business acquired in July 2021.
  • Year-to-date 2022 Modified EBITDA also declined from the prior year primarily reflecting a $345 million net unrealized loss on commodity derivatives in 2022, which is excluded from Adjusted EBITDA. Both measures were also impacted by higher commodity margins, more than offset by the absence of a $58 million favorable impact in 2021 from Winter Storm Uri and higher administrative costs associated with the Sequent business acquired in July 2021.

Other

  • Second-quarter 2022 Modified EBITDA improved compared to the prior year primarily reflecting the increased scale of our upstream operations and a second-quarter 2022 $47 million net unrealized gain on commodity derivatives related to our upstream operations, which is excluded from Adjusted EBITDA.
  • Year-to-date 2022 Modified EBITDA also improved compared to the prior year primarily reflecting the increased scale of our upstream operations, partially offset by a $19 million net unrealized loss in 2022 on commodity derivatives related to our upstream operations, which is excluded from Adjusted EBITDA. Both measures were also impacted by the absence of a $22 million favorable impact in 2021 from Winter Storm Uri.

2022 Financial Guidance

The company now expects 2022 Adjusted EBITDA between $6.1 billion and $6.4 billion, a $450 million midpoint increase from guidance originally issued February 2022. The company continues to expect 2022 growth capital expenditures between $2.25 billion to $2.35 billion, a $1 billion midpoint increase from guidance originally issued February 2022 driven by the strategic acquisition of Trace Midstream assets. The company also continues to expect maintenance capital expenditures between $650 million and $750 million, which includes capital for emissions reduction and modernization initiatives. Importantly, Williams anticipates achieving a leverage ratio (net debt-to-Adjusted EBITDA) midpoint of 3.6x, below the original guidance of 3.8x.

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.

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 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.

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.

(1) The sum of earnings per share for the quarters may not equal the total earnings per share for the year due to changes in the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding.

(2) Had this adjustment been made in 2021, the Gas & NGL Marketing segment would have included adjustments of ($15), ($5), ($15), $1, and ($34) for the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th quarters, and full year period, respectively. This would have reduced Adjusted income – diluted earnings per common share by $0.01, $0.01, and $0.02 for the 1st and 3rd quarters, and full year period, respectively.

(3) Adjustments include the reversal of valuation allowance due to the expected utilization of certain deferred income tax assets and previously unrecognized tax benefits from the resolution of certain federal income tax audits.

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, outcome 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 our business and operations;
  • Expected in-service dates for capital projects;
  • Financial condition and liquidity;
  • Business strategy;
  • Cash flow from operations or results of operations;
  • Seasonality of certain business components;
  • Natural gas, natural gas liquids and crude oil prices, supply, and demand;
  • Demand for our services;
  • The impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

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 to obtain necessary permits and approvals, and achieve favorable rate proceeding outcomes;
  • Our exposure to the credit risk of our 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 to consummate asset sales on acceptable terms;
  • Whether we are able 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;
  • Whether we will be able to effectively execute our financing plan;
  • Increasing scrutiny and changing expectations from stakeholders with respect to our 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, including COVID-19;
  • Risks associated with weather and natural phenomena, including climate conditions and physical damage to our facilities;
  • Acts of terrorism, cybersecurity incidents, and related disruptions;
  • Our 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, 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;
  • 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, 2021, as filed with the SEC on February 28, 2022, and (b) Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2022.
