“ONEOK Partners continues to post solid 2016 financial results as natural gas and natural gas liquids volumes increased across all three business segments year over year,” said Terry K. Spencer, president and chief executive officer of ONEOK Partners. “Our well-positioned assets and approximately $9 billion in capital-growth projects and acquisitions since 2006 provide opportunities for continued earnings growth without significant additional infrastructure needs or capital spending, particularly in the natural gas liquids segment.
“Our natural gas liquids segment continues to be a key driver of fee-based growth for the partnership, with segment operating income and adjusted EBITDA in the first half of 2016 increasing more than 25 percent compared with the same period last year,” Spencer said. “We continue to expect a significant benefit from ethane recovery beginning in 2017 and have already observed intermittent periods of higher recovery on parts of our system this year. While prices have begun to improve, we haven’t yet seen a large revenue increase from ethane recovery because a portion of the fees associated with the increased volumes were previously being earned through minimum volume commitments.
“In addition to ethane, new NGL supply opportunities are available in our natural gas liquids segment in the growing STACK and SCOOP plays in Oklahoma,” he continued. “ONEOK Partners currently provides NGL gathering, transportation and fractionation services in these plays and is well-positioned, along with our natural gas gathering and processing segment, to benefit from continued growth opportunities in the region.
“Our natural gas gathering and processing segment also recorded increased volumes in the first half of 2016 and continues to benefit from contract restructuring efforts that began in 2015,” Spencer said. “Our continuing contract restructuring efforts contributed to an 8 cent, or 12 percent, increase in the segment’s average fee rate for the second quarter, compared with the first quarter 2016.
“We’ve taken the commercial, operational and financial steps to enable us to continue to grow our earnings in spite of a difficult commodity price environment,” Spencer concluded. “Our focus on stable, fee-based earnings growth has positioned us well for the remainder of 2016.”
SECOND-QUARTER 2016 FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
Second-quarter 2016 results benefited from higher NGL volumes gathered and fractionated and higher natural gas volumes gathered and processed, compared with the same period in 2015, as well as increased fee-based earnings in the natural gas gathering and processing segment. Higher volumes and fee rates drove increases in second-quarter 2016 operating income of 20 percent and adjusted EBITDA of 18 percent, compared with the same period in 2015.

Ethane rejection continues across the partnership’s system; however some natural gas processors are intermittently alternating between ethane recovery and rejection. Ethane rejection levels on the partnership’s natural gas liquids gathering system decreased to approximately 150,000 barrels per day (bpd) in the second quarter 2016, compared with an average of more than 175,000 bpd during the second half of 2015 and first quarter of 2016, primarily related to natural gas processing plants in the Mid-Continent moving in and out of ethane recovery. The partnership expects ethane rejection levels to continue to fluctuate for the remainder of 2016.

Higher second-quarter 2016 results primarily benefited from:
• | Higher NGL fee-based exchange-services volumes primarily from recently connected natural gas processing plants and decreased ethane rejection in the Mid-Continent and Williston Basin; |
• | Higher average fee rates resulting from contract restructuring in the natural gas gathering and processing segment; |
• | Natural gas volume growth in the Williston Basin; and |
• | Higher transportation revenues in the natural gas pipelines segment. |
Operating costs increased in the three- and six-month 2016 periods, compared with the same periods in 2015, due primarily to higher employee-related costs associated with incentive and medical benefit plans.
Capital expenditures decreased in the three- and six-month periods in 2016, compared with the same periods in 2015, due to projects placed in service in 2015, proactive spending reductions to align with customer needs and lower well connect activities in the natural gas gathering and processing segment.
ONEOK Partners’ second quarter 2016 distributable cash flow and distribution coverage ratio benefited from a one-time, approximately $15 million increase in the quarter due to a

Continent natural gas processing plant connections and higher levels of ethane recovery. NGLs fractionated increased nearly 10 percent and NGLs transported on gathering lines increased 3 percent in the second quarter 2016, compared with the same period in 2015.
Ethane recovery levels increased in the Mid-Continent region and the Williston Basin during the second quarter 2016, compared with the second quarter 2015, positively impacting second-quarter 2016 results. A portion of the fees associated with those increased volumes were previously being earned under contracts with minimum volume obligations. We expect ethane recovery levels to continue to fluctuate for the remainder of 2016 as the market continually balances ethane supply and demand.

The increase in second-quarter 2016 adjusted EBITDA, compared with the second quarter 2015, primarily reflects:
• | A $27.7 million increase in fee-based exchange services, which includes: |
◦ | A $22.4 million increase due to increased volumes from recently connected natural gas processing plants in the Williston Basin and Mid-Continent, offset partially by lower short-term contracted volumes in the Gulf Coast region; |
◦ | A $21.7 million increase from decreased ethane rejection in the Mid-Continent and Williston Basin, which increased NGL volumes gathered and fractionated; offset partially by |
◦ | A $15.4 million decrease in revenues from minimum volume obligations as earnings were realized through the increased volumes and decreased ethane rejection described above; |
• | An $8.1 million increase in optimization and marketing activities due primarily to wider marketing product price differentials; |
• | A $4.2 million increase in equity in net earnings from investments due primarily to higher volumes delivered to the Overland Pass Pipeline from the Bakken NGL Pipeline; offset partially by |
• | A $6.4 million increase in operating costs due primarily to higher employee-related costs associated with incentive and medical benefit plans; and |

• | A $5.6 million decrease due to the impact of operational measurement losses in 2016 and operational measurement gains in 2015. |
The increase in adjusted EBITDA for the six-month 2016 period, compared with the same period last year, primarily reflects:
• | An $88.7 million increase in fee-based exchange services, which includes: |
◦ | A $64.0 million increase due to increased volumes from recently connected natural gas processing plants in the Williston Basin and Mid-Continent, offset partially by lower short-term contracted volumes in the Gulf Coast region; |
◦ | A $38.7 million increase from decreased ethane rejection in the Mid-Continent and Williston Basin, which increased NGL volumes gathered and fractionated; and |
◦ | A $5.7 million increase due to higher fee rates; offset partially by |
◦ | An $18.7 million decrease in revenues from minimum volume obligations as earnings were realized through the increased volumes and decreased ethane rejection described above; |
• | A $10.6 million increase in equity in net earnings from investments due primarily to higher volumes delivered to the Overland Pass Pipeline from the Bakken NGL Pipeline; |
• | A $4.2 million increase in optimization and marketing activities due primarily to higher optimization volumes; |
• | A $3.0 million increase in higher storage activities; and |
• | A $2.7 million decrease in operating costs resulting from ongoing cost reduction efforts and lower rates charged by service providers, offset partially by higher employee-related costs associated with incentive and medical benefit plans. |
Capital expenditures decreased for the three- and six-month 2016 periods, compared with the same periods in 2015, due primarily to proactive spending reductions to align with customer needs.
Natural Gas Gathering and Processing Segment
The natural gas gathering and processing segment’s second-quarter 2016 adjusted EBITDA increased more than 40 percent, compared with the same period in 2015, driven by continued volume growth in the Williston Basin, even with planned facility maintenance and weather events in the basin during the second quarter.
Second-quarter 2016 natural gas volumes processed increased more than 12 percent, and natural gas volumes gathered increased nearly 6 percent, compared with the second quarter 2015.

The natural gas gathering and processing segment has restructured a portion of it percent-of-proceeds with fee contracts to include significantly higher fees, which reduced its 2016 equity volumes and the related commodity price exposure compared with 2015. The partnership executes hedges to reduce its commodity price risk. NGLs hedged reflect propane, normal butane, isobutane and natural gasoline only. The following tables set forth hedging information for the natural gas gathering and processing segment’s forecasted equity volumes for the periods indicated:

The natural gas gathering and processing segment estimates the following sensitivities:
• | A 1-cent-per-gallon change in the composite price of NGLs would change second-half 2016 and full-year 2017 adjusted EBITDA by approximately $0.3 million and $1.0 million, respectively; |
• | A 10-cent-per-MMBtu change in the price of residue natural gas would change second-half 2016 and full-year 2017 adjusted EBITDA by approximately $0.1 million and $0.9 million, respectively; and |
• | A $1.00-per-barrel change in the price of crude oil would change second-half 2016 and full-year 2017 adjusted EBITDA by approximately $0.1 million and $0.4 million, respectively. |
These estimates do not include any effects on demand for ONEOK Partners’ services or natural gas processing plant operations that might be caused by, or arise in conjunction with, price changes. For example, a change in the gross processing spread may cause a change in the amount of ethane extracted from the natural gas stream affecting natural gas gathering and processing earnings for certain contracts.
Natural Gas Pipelines Segment
The natural gas pipelines segment operations remain nearly 100 percent fee-based. Through the first six months of 2016, approximately 93 percent of the segment’s natural gas transportation capacity was contracted under firm, demand-based contracts.
The second phase of the segment’s joint venture Roadrunner Gas Transmission Pipeline and the 260 MMcf/d WesTex Transmission Pipeline expansion are expected to be complete in the fourth quarter 2016, ahead of schedule for both projects. The second phase of the Roadrunner joint venture project will add an additional 400 MMcf/d of capacity to the pipeline. Both projects are fully subscribed under long-term, firm fee-based (take-or-pay) commitments.

NON-GAAP (GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES) FINANCIAL MEASURES:
ONEOK Partners has disclosed in this news release adjusted EBITDA, DCF, distributable cash flow to limited partners per limited partner unit and cash distribution coverage ratio, which are non-GAAP financial metrics, used to measure the partnership’s financial performance and are defined as follows:
• | Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income adjusted for interest expense, net of capitalized interest, depreciation and amortization, impairment charges, income taxes and allowance for equity funds used during construction and certain other noncash items; |
• | DCF is defined as adjusted EBITDA, computed as described above, less interest expense, maintenance capital expenditures and equity earnings from investments, excluding noncash impairment charges, adjusted for cash distributions received and certain other items; |
• | Distributable cash flow to limited partners per limited partner unit is computed as DCF less distributions declared to the general partner in the period, divided by the weighted-average number of units outstanding in the period; and |
• | Cash distribution coverage ratio is defined as distributable cash flow to limited partners per limited partner unit divided by the distribution declared per limited partner unit for the period. |
The partnership believes the non-GAAP financial measures described above are useful to investors because they are used by many companies in its industry to measure financial performance and are commonly employed by financial analysts and others to evaluate the financial performance of the partnership and to compare the financial performance of the partnership with the performance of other publicly traded partnerships within its industry.
Adjusted EBITDA, DCF, distributable cash flow to limited partners and cash distribution coverage ratio per limited partner unit should not be considered alternatives to net income, earnings per unit or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP.
These non-GAAP financial measures exclude some, but not all, items that affect net income. Additionally, these calculations may not be comparable with similarly titled measures of other companies. Furthermore, these non-GAAP measures should not be viewed as indicative of the actual amount of cash that is available for distributions or that is planned to be distributed in a given period, nor do they equate to available cash as defined in the partnership agreement.
ONEOK Partners, L.P. (pronounced ONE-OAK) (NYSE: OKS) is one of the largest publicly traded master limited partnerships in the United States and owns one of the nation’s premier natural gas liquids (NGL) systems, connecting NGL supply in the Mid-Continent, Permian and Rocky Mountain regions with key market centers and is a leader in the gathering, processing, storage and transportation of natural gas in the U.S. Its general partner is a wholly owned
