ONE Gas Announces Second-quarter 2016 Financial Results;
Updates 2016 Financial Guidance

TULSA, Okla. - Aug. 1, 2016 - ONE Gas, Inc. (NYSE: OGS) today announced financial results for its second quarter 2016 and updated its 2016 financial guidance.

Highlights include:

Second-quarter 2016 net income was $20.3 million, or $0.38 per diluted share, compared with $12.1 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, in the second quarter 2015;
Updated 2016 net income guidance to the range of $135 million to $140 million, compared with the previous guidance range of $127 million to $137 million;
Actual heating degree days across the company’s service areas were 527 in the second quarter 2016, 19 percent warmer than normal and 8 percent colder than the same period last year; and
A quarterly dividend of 35 cents per share, or $1.40 per share on an annualized basis, was declared on July 25, 2016, payable on Sept. 1, 2016, to shareholders of record at the close of business on Aug. 15, 2016.

“New rates from investments we’ve made throughout our system, along with customer growth in Oklahoma and Texas, continue to have a positive impact on our results,” said Pierce H. Norton II, president and chief executive officer. “We are also seeing the benefits from operating efficiencies and a continued focus from our employees on safety and customer service.”

SECOND-QUARTER 2016 FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

ONE Gas reported operating income of $43.6 million in the second quarter 2016, compared with $31.3 million in the second quarter 2015.

Net margin increased by $12.7 million compared with second quarter 2015, which primarily reflects:

A $0.9 million increase attributed to net residential customer growth in Oklahoma and Texas; and
A $0.8 million increase in line extension revenue, from commercial and industrial customers in Oklahoma.

Second-quarter 2016 operating costs were $110.4 million, compared with $112.5 million in the second quarter 2015, which primarily reflects:

A $2.0 million decrease in outside service expenses, fleet and other costs; and
A $1.0 million decrease in information technology expenses; offset partially by
A $1.5 million increase in employee-related expenses.

Second-quarter 2016 depreciation and amortization expense was $35.5 million, compared with $33.0 million in the second quarter 2015, due primarily to an increase in depreciation expense from capital investments placed in service.

Capital expenditures were $69.5 million for the second quarter 2016, compared with $70.5 million in the second quarter 2015.

Key Statistics: More detailed information is listed on page 13 in the tables.

Actual heating degree days in the Oklahoma service area were 162 in the second quarter 2016, 15 percent warmer than normal and 4 percent colder than the same period last year;
Actual heating degree days in the Kansas service area were 320 in the second quarter 2016, 22 percent warmer than normal and 7 percent colder than the same period last year;
Actual heating degree days in the Texas service area were 45 in the second quarter 2016, 12 percent warmer than normal and 45 percent colder than the same period last year;
Residential natural gas sales volumes were 10.6 billion cubic feet (Bcf) in the second quarter 2016, down 7 percent compared with the same period last year;
Total natural gas sales volumes were 15.2 Bcf in the second quarter 2016, down 7 percent compared with the same period last year;
Natural gas transportation volumes were 49.6 Bcf in the second quarter 2016, up 6 percent compared with the same period last year; and

Net margin increased by $22.3 million compared with the same period last year, which primarily reflects:

A $24.3 million increase from new rates in Oklahoma and Texas; and
A $1.8 million increase attributed to residential customer growth in Oklahoma and Texas; offset partially by
A $2.6 million decrease due to lower sales volumes, net of weather normalization, primarily from warmer weather in the first quarter 2016 compared with the same period last year; and
A $1.5 million decrease due primarily to lower transportation volumes from weather-sensitive customers in Kansas and Oklahoma.

Operating costs for the six-month 2016 period were $232.2 million, compared with $234.9 million for the same period last year, which primarily reflects:

A $4.6 million decrease in outside service expenses, fleet and other costs;
A $2.4 million decrease from the deferral of separation costs incurred in 2014, which was approved in Oklahoma as a regulatory asset in the recent rate proceeding; and
A $2.4 million decrease in information technology expenses; offset partially by
A $5.1 million increase in employee-related expenses; and
A $2.3 million increase in legal expenses.

Depreciation and amortization expense for the six-month 2016 period was $70.2 million, compared with $64.6 million for the same period last year, due primarily to an increase in depreciation expense from capital investments placed in service.

Capital expenditures for the six-month 2016 period were $144.8 million, compared with $125.4 million for the same period last year, due primarily to increased system integrity activities and extending service to new areas, which were facilitated by warmer and drier weather in the first quarter of 2016.

The company ended the second quarter with $54.3 million of cash and cash equivalents, no short-term borrowings and $1.0 million in letters of credit, leaving $699.0 million of credit available under its $700 million credit facility. The total debt-to-capitalization ratio at June 30, 2016, was 39 percent.

REGULATORY ACTIVITY

Oklahoma

In January 2016, the Oklahoma Corporation Commission 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-Based Rate Change tariff, established in 2009.

Kansas

In May 2016, Kansas Gas Service filed a request with the Kansas Corporation Commission (KCC) for an increase in base rates, reflecting system investments and operating costs necessary to maintain the safety and reliability of its natural gas distribution system. Kansas Gas Service’s request, if approved, represents a net base rate increase of $28.0 million. Kansas Gas Service is already recovering $7.4 million from customers through the Gas System Reliability Surcharge (GSRS), resulting in a total base rate increase of $35.4 million. This request would increase the average residential customer’s natural gas bill by $4.34 per month.

The company’s filing also includes a proposed cost-of-service adjustment mechanism that would reset rates annually, based on a review of the previous year’s financial results. The proposed rate mechanism is intended to reduce the need to file full rate cases, thereby saving costs associated with traditional rate cases.

In accordance with Kansas law, the KCC has 240 days to consider Kansas Gas Service’s filing.

Texas

In June 2016, Texas Gas Service filed a rate case requesting an increase in revenues of $11.6 million for its Central Texas and South Texas service areas. The filing included a request to consolidate the South Texas service area with the Central Texas service area. Texas Gas Service filed this rate case directly with the incorporated cities of the Central Texas service area, which includes the City of Austin, and the Railroad Commission of Texas (RRC) for the unincorporated areas. If approved, new rates are expected to be effective in December 2016.

In March 2016, Texas Gas Service filed a rate case requesting an increase in revenues of $12.8 million for its El Paso, Dell City and Permian service areas. The filing included a request to consolidate these three service areas into a new West Texas service area. Texas Gas Service filed this rate case directly with the incorporated cities of the El Paso and Dell City service area and the RRC for the unincorporated areas. In July 2016, several incorporated cities that are parties to the filing, including the City of El Paso, denied the request, and Texas Gas Service

appealed the denial to the RRC. The Hearing on the Merits was held in July 2016 with a final decision from the RRC expected in October 2016.

In December 2015, Texas Gas Service filed a rate case for its Galveston and South Jefferson County service areas requesting an increase in revenues of $3.1 million. The filing included a request to consolidate these two service areas into a new Gulf Coast service area. Texas Gas Service filed this rate case directly with the incorporated cities and the RRC for the unincorporated areas. Texas Gas Service reached a unanimous settlement agreement with representatives of the incorporated cities and the staff of the RRC on behalf of the unincorporated areas for an increase in revenues of $2.3 million. New rates became effective in May 2016.

In the normal course of business, Texas Gas Service has received approval for increases totaling $2.0 million in 2016 for rate relief under the Gas Reliability Infrastructure Program and cost-of-service adjustments in other Texas jurisdictions to address investments in rate base and changes in expenses.

2016 FINANCIAL GUIDANCE UPDATED

ONE Gas updated its 2016 financial guidance, with net income expected to be in the range of $135 million to $140 million, compared with its previously announced range of $127 million to $137 million. Earnings per diluted share is expected to be approximately $2.55 to $2.65 per diluted share, compared with its previously announced range of $2.40 to $2.60 per diluted share. The updated guidance reflects lower operating expenses, offset partially by lower net margin, compared with the guidance provided on Jan. 19, 2016.

Capital expenditures are still expected to be approximately $305 million in 2016. More than 70 percent of these expenditures are targeted for system integrity and replacement projects.

Additional information is available in the guidance table on the ONE Gas website.
