ONE Gas Announces Second-quarter 2014 Financial Results;

Affirms 2014 Financial Guidance

TULSA, Okla. - Aug. 4, 2014 - ONE Gas, Inc. (NYSE: OGS) today announced financial results for its second quarter 2014 and affirmed its full-year 2014 guidance.

Highlights include:


•	Second-quarter 2014 net income was $9.5 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, compared with $15.0 million, or $0.29 per diluted share, in the second quarter 2013;


•	Actual heating degree days across the company’s service areas were 700 in the second quarter 2014, 5 percent colder than normal and 33 percent warmer than the same period last year; and


•	A quarterly dividend of 28 cents per share, or $1.12 per share on an annualized basis, was declared in July 2014, payable on Aug. 15, 2014, to shareholders of record at the close of business on Aug. 1, 2014.

“New rates in Texas and growth in residential customers resulted in a solid second quarter. Colder-than-normal weather and lower employee-related expenses in the second quarter of 2013, and costs associated with the separation from ONEOK in 2014, affected our results. We remain on track to achieve our full-year earnings guidance,” said Pierce H. Norton II, president and chief executive officer. “I would like to thank our employees for their continued focus on serving our customers safely and reliably.”

SECOND-QUARTER 2014 FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

ONE Gas reported operating income of $26.8 million in the second quarter 2014, compared with $39.3 million in the second quarter 2013.

Net margin decreased by $1.9 million compared with second quarter 2013, which primarily reflects:


•	A $3.1 million increase from new rates primarily in Texas;


•	A $1.4 million increase attributed to residential customer growth;

•	A $0.6 million increase due to higher line extension revenue from commercial and industrial customers in Oklahoma;


•	A $4.9 million decrease in variable margin due to lower residential sales volumes primarily from warmer weather, net of weather normalization; and


•	A $2.8 million decrease in rider and surcharge recoveries due to lower ad-valorem surcharges in Kansas and the expiration of the take-or-pay rider in Oklahoma, both of which were offset by lower amortization expense.

Second-quarter 2014 operating costs were $118.4 million, compared with $106.2 million in the second quarter 2013, which primarily reflects:


•	A $5.3 million increase in employee-related expenses resulting from higher labor and compensation costs, which includes share-based compensation that in the prior period was impacted by a decrease in ONEOK’s share price (NYSE: OKE);


•	A $4.2 million increase in outside service expenses related to a $3.4 million increase in pipeline maintenance activities and $1.3 million of costs associated with the separation from ONEOK;


•	A $2.5 million increase in insurance and information technology expenses; and


•	A $2.1 million decrease in benefit expenses related primarily to lower pension and other postretirement benefit costs resulting from an annual change in the estimated discount rate.

YEAR-TO-DATE 2014 FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

Operating income for the six-month 2014 period was $136.2 million, compared with $141.1 million for the same period last year.

Net margin increased by $6.2 million compared with the same period last year, which primarily reflects:


•	A $7.6 million increase from new rates primarily in Texas;


•	A $3.3 million increase from higher transportation volumes primarily due to weather-sensitive customers;


•	A $2.6 million increase attributed to residential customer growth;


•	A $1.0 million increase due to higher line extension revenue from commercial and industrial customers in Oklahoma;


•	A $1.3 million decrease from lower sales volumes primarily in Kansas due to warmer weather in the second quarter 2014 compared with colder-than-normal weather in the second quarter 2013, net of weather normalization; and


•	An $8.1 million decrease in rider and surcharge recoveries due to lower ad-valorem surcharges in Kansas and the expiration of the take-or-pay rider in Oklahoma, both of which were offset by lower amortization expense.

Operating costs for the six-month 2014 period were $237.3 million, compared with $221.2 million for the same period last year, which primarily reflects:


•	A $9.3 million increase in employee-related expenses resulting from higher labor and compensation costs;


•	A $4.5 million increase in insurance and information technology expenses;


•	A $3.6 million increase in outside service expenses related primarily to $2.6 million of costs associated with the separation from ONEOK;


•	A $1.0 million increase in bad debt expense as a result of higher net margin; and


•	A $4.1 million decrease in benefit expenses related primarily to lower pension and other postretirement benefit costs resulting from an annual change in the estimated discount rate.

Second-quarter 2014 depreciation and amortization was $31.3 million, compared with $32.9 million in the second quarter 2013. Depreciation and amortization for the six-month 2014 period was $62.8 million, compared with $67.8 million for the same period last year. These decreases were primarily due to lower rider and surcharge recoveries from lower ad-valorem taxes in Kansas and the expiration of the take-or-pay rider in Oklahoma. These decreases were offset partially by higher depreciation expense from capital expenditures.

Capital expenditures were $82.9 million for the second quarter 2014, compared with $67.3 million in the second quarter 2013.

For the second quarter 2014, the company generated operating cash flow of $79.6 million, and ended the second quarter with $161.3 million of cash and cash equivalents, and no borrowings under its $700 million credit facility. The debt-to-capitalization ratio at June 30, 2014, was approximately 40 percent.

REGULATORY ACTIVITY

Oklahoma

In October 2013, Oklahoma Natural Gas, together with the Public Utility Division of the Oklahoma Corporation Commission (OCC), filed a joint application to postpone the 2014 rate case. The joint stipulation and settlement agreement in support of this application was approved by the OCC in January 2014. As a result, Oklahoma Natural Gas filed a Performance-Based Rate Change application in March 2014 requesting an increase in base rates.

In June 2014, a joint stipulation and settlement agreement was reached, which includes an increase in base rates of approximately $13.7 million and an energy-efficiency program true-up and a utility incentive adjustment of $0.9 million. This agreement is expected to be approved by the OCC in the third quarter 2014.

Oklahoma Natural Gas is expected to file a rate case in 2015 based on a test year consisting of the 12 months ending March 31, 2015.

Texas

In May 2014, the Austin City Council approved Texas Gas Service’s request for interim rate relief under the Gas Reliability Infrastructure Program (GRIP) statute for approximately $5.2 million.

GRIP is a capital-recovery mechanism that allows for an interim rate adjustment providing recovery of and a return on incremental capital investments made between rate cases.

In April 2014, Texas Gas Service filed an application with the City of El Paso requesting an adjustment to customer rates pursuant to the recently approved utility rate setting process called the El Paso Annual Rate Review (EPARR), which is in lieu of filing under the GRIP statute. Texas Gas Service filed under the GRIP statute for the remainder of the El Paso service area.

In July 2014, the City of El Paso approved an annual increase in revenues of $3.5 million, resulting from the EPARR filing. The GRIP filing for the remainder of the El Paso service area was approved with an increase in revenues of $0.6 million.

In the normal course of business, Texas Gas Service has received approval for interim rate relief under the GRIP statute and cost-of-service adjustments in various Texas jurisdictions totaling approximately $2.1 million to address investments in rate base and changes in cost of service.

Kansas

Kansas Gas Service is expected to file a request for interim rate relief under the Gas System Reliability Surcharge (GSRS) rider in the third quarter 2014, with new rates effective January 2015. GSRS is a capital-recovery mechanism that allows for a rate adjustment providing recovery of and a return on incremental safety-related and government-mandated capital investments made between rate cases.

Kansas Gas Service is expected to file a rate case in 2016 based on a 2015 test year, with new rates effective January 2017.

2014 FINANCIAL GUIDANCE AFFIRMED

ONE Gas affirmed its 2014 net income guidance range of $95 million to $105 million, provided on Dec. 2, 2013. ONE Gas expects net income to increase by an average of 4 to 6 percent annually between 2014 and 2018, driven by continued capital investments in system integrity and reliability.

The midpoint of ONE Gas’ 2014 operating income guidance is $217 million.

ONE Gas also affirmed its dividend target of 28 cents per share, per quarter for 2014 and the annual dividend growth target of 5 percent between 2014 and 2018, subject to board approval. The target dividend payout ratio remains 55 to 65 percent of net income.
