ONE Gas Announces Fourth-quarter

and Full-year 2015 Financial Results

TULSA, Okla. - Feb. 17, 2016 - ONE Gas, Inc. (NYSE: OGS) today announced financial results for its fourth quarter and full year 2015. The company announced previously on Jan. 19, 2016, that it expected 2015 net income to be in the range of $118 million to $120 million.

Highlights include:


•	Fourth-quarter 2015 net income was $39.2 million, or $0.74 per diluted share, compared with $36.6 million, or $0.69 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter 2014;


•	Full-year 2015 net income was $119.0 million, or $2.24 per diluted share, compared with $109.8 million, or $2.07 per diluted share, in 2014;


•	Full-year 2015 capital expenditures were $294.3 million, compared with $297.1 million in 2014.

“We are pleased with our first full-year financial results, which were driven by lower operating expenses and continued investments in our system," said Pierce H. Norton II, president and chief executive officer. "We will continue to execute on our strategic plan of investing in the safety and reliability of our system and delivering excellent customer service in order to create value for our stakeholders."

FOURTH-QUARTER 2015 FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

ONE Gas reported operating income of $73.9 million in the fourth quarter 2015, compared with $70.0 million in the fourth quarter 2014.

Net margin increased by $7.2 million compared with fourth quarter 2014, which primarily reflects:


•	A $9.5 million increase from new rates primarily in Oklahoma and Texas;


•	A $0.8 million increase due to higher sales volumes, net of weather normalization;


•	A $1.2 million decrease due primarily to lower transportation volumes from weather-sensitive customers in Kansas;

•	A $1.0 million decrease in other revenues; and


•	A $0.5 million decrease in rider and surcharge recoveries due to a lower ad-valorem surcharge in Kansas and expiration of the take-or-pay rider in Oklahoma, both of which were offset by lower amortization expense.

Fourth-quarter 2015 operating costs were $123.1 million, compared with $122.5 million in the fourth quarter 2014, which primarily reflects:


•	An $8.2 million increase in employee-related expenses;


•	A $1.7 million increase in ad valorem taxes;


•	A $2.5 million decrease in outside service expenses;


•	A $2.2 million decrease in information technology expenses, which includes $0.9 million of costs associated with the separation from ONEOK (NYSE: OKE);


•	A $1.1 million decrease in legal and workers' compensation expense;


•	A $1.1 million decrease in fleet-related expenses; and


•	A $0.6 million decrease in bad debt expense.

Fourth-quarter 2015 depreciation and amortization was $34.4 million, compared with $31.7 million in the fourth quarter 2014. The increase was due primarily to an increase in depreciation expense from capital investments placed in service.

Capital expenditures were $94.6 million for the fourth quarter 2015, compared with $72.5 million in the fourth quarter 2014, due primarily to an increase in system maintenance activity.

Key Statistics: More detailed information is listed on page 12 in the tables.


•	Actual heating degree days across the company’s service areas were 3,124 in the fourth quarter 2015, 21 percent warmer than normal and 19 percent warmer than the same period last year;

•	Total natural gas sales volumes were 47.8 Bcf in the fourth quarter 2015, down 10 percent compared with the same period last year;

FULL-YEAR 2015 FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

Full-year 2015 operating income was $239.1 million, compared with $225.3 million in 2014.

Net margin increased $14.7 million compared with last year, which primarily reflects:


•	A $27.5 million increase from new rates primarily in Texas and Oklahoma;


•	A $4.8 million increase attributed to residential customer growth primarily in Oklahoma and Texas;


•	A $6.0 million decrease in line extension revenue, from commercial and industrial customers, and other revenues;


•	A $4.8 million decrease due to lower sales volumes, net of weather normalization, primarily from warmer weather in 2015 compared with 2014;


•	A $3.7 million decrease in rider and surcharge recoveries due to a lower ad-valorem surcharge in Kansas and the expiration of the take-or-pay rider in Oklahoma, both of which were offset by lower amortization expense; and


•	A $3.1 million decrease due primarily to lower transportation volumes from weather-sensitive customers in Kansas.

2015 operating costs were $469.6 million, compared with $476.0 million in 2014, which primarily reflects:


•	A $6.8 million decrease in information technology services associated with the separation from ONEOK;


•	A $6.0 million decrease in outside service expenses;


•	A $4.1 million decrease in legal and workers' compensation expense;


•	A $2.7 million increase in bad debt expense;


•	A $1.4 million decrease in fleet-related expenses;


•	A $0.9 million decrease in ad valorem taxes; and


•	An $16.3 million increase in employee-related expenses.

Full-year 2015 depreciation and amortization expense was $133.0 million, compared with $125.7 million in 2014. This increase was due primarily to a $12.1 million increase in depreciation expense from capital investments placed in service, offset partially by a $3.6 million decrease associated with the ad-valorem surcharge rider in Kansas and the take-or-pay rider in Oklahoma.

Full-year 2015 capital expenditures were $294.3 million, compared with $297.1 million in 2014.

REGULATORY ACTIVITY

Oklahoma

In January 2016, the Oklahoma Corporation Commission (OCC) approved a joint stipulation and settlement agreement for an increase in Oklahoma Natural Gas' base rates of $29,995,000. The agreement includes the continuation, with certain modifications, of the Performance Base Rate Change tariff that was established in 2009. New rates were effective in January 2016 and result in a typical residential customer paying $2.96 more per month for natural gas service.

Kansas

In November 2015, the Kansas Corporation Commission (KCC) approved a request from Kansas Gas Service for an increase in base rates of approximately $2.4 million under the Gas System Reliability Surcharge (GSRS) rider, which became effective on December 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 will filed a rate case in 2016 based on a 2015 test year, with new rates expected to be effective January 2017.

Texas

In November 2015, Texas Gas Service notified the City of El Paso and surrounding incorporated cities that it would be filing a full rate case in lieu of the El Paso Annual Rate Review (EPARR) in 2016.

Texas Gas Service expects to file a rate case in the Central Texas jurisdiction, which includes the City of Austin, in 2016.

In the normal course of business, Texas Gas Service has received approval for increases totaling $4.8 million in 2015 for rate relief under the Gas Reliability Infrastructure Program (GRIP) and cost-of-service adjustments in other Texas jurisdictions to address investments in rate base and changes in cost of service.
