CEO Perspective

Chad Zamarin, president and chief executive officer, made the following comments:

“Williams delivered another outstanding quarter with Adjusted EBITDA up 8% over second quarter last year, driven primarily by Transco expansions and new volumes in the Gulf as well as higher volumes in our Northeast and West gathering and processing segments. With the continued strength of our base business and our recent acquisition of Saber Midstream in the Haynesville, we expect earnings growth to continue to build in the second half of the year. As a result, we are raising our 2025 Adjusted EBITDA guidance midpoint again by $50 million to $7.75 billion, for a total increase of $350 million from our original 2025 guidance.

"Our teams continue to deliver across our entire asset base. We recently completed six projects, including Texas to Louisiana Energy Pathway, Louisiana Energy Gateway and the Shenandoah deepwater project. We also accelerated the timeline for Transco’s Southeast Supply Enhancement project to meet growing demand for natural gas across the Mid-Atlantic and Southeast."

Zamarin added, "At Williams, we’re investing in infrastructure that will power America’s future. Our strong and steady growth across our portfolio underscores the critical role of natural gas as the backbone of reliable, affordable, and clean energy. We’re proud to build the infrastructure that is essential to meeting energy needs in the U.S. and globally."

(2) Does not represent leverage ratios measured for WMB credit agreement compliance or leverage ratios as calculated by the major credit ratings agencies. Debt is net of cash on hand, and Adjusted EBITDA reflects the sum of the last four quarters.
(3) Capital Investments include increases to property, plant, and equipment (growth & maintenance capital), purchases of and contributions to equity-method investments and purchases of other long-term investments. 2Q 2025 and year-to-date 2025 exclude $43 million for the acquisition of Saber Midstream, which closed June 2025. Year-to-date 2025 capital also excludes $319 million for the acquisition of Rimrock, which closed January 2025, and $153 million for the investment in Cogentrix, which closed March 2025, and $1 million for an adjustment of the Crowheart acquisition and Discovery consolidation, which closed 2024. Year-to-date 2024 capital excludes $1.844 billion for the acquisition of the Gulf Coast Storage assets, which closed January 2024.

GAAP Measures

Second-quarter and year-to-date 2025 net income increased by $145 million and $204 million, respectively, compared to the prior year. Both comparative periods benefited from higher service revenues of $204 million and $302 million, respectively, driven by Transco expansion projects, new Gulf volumes, and higher gathering and processing volumes in the Northeast and West, as well as favorable changes of $167 million and $227 million, respectively, in net unrealized gains/losses on commodity derivatives. The year-to-date improvement also benefited from higher realized results from upstream operations including contributions from the fourth-quarter 2024 Crowheart acquisition. These favorable changes for both periods were partially offset by higher depreciation expense, higher operating costs, lower interest income and lower equity allowance for funds used during construction (equity AFUDC) associated with capital projects at our regulated natural gas pipelines. The tax provision for both periods increased primarily due to higher pretax income.

Second-quarter and year-to-date 2025 cash flow from operations increased compared to the prior year primarily due to favorable net changes to derivative collateral requirements and higher operating results exclusive of non-cash items. The second-quarter period was also impacted by net unfavorable changes in working capital, while the year-to-date net changes in working capital were favorable.

Non-GAAP Measures

Second-quarter 2025 Adjusted EBITDA increased by $141 million over the prior year, driven by the previously described increases in service revenues, partially offset by higher operating costs and lower equity AFUDC. Year-to-date 2025 Adjusted EBITDA increased by $196 million over the prior year, driven by the previously described increases in service revenues and higher net realized results from upstream operations, partially offset by higher operating and administrative costs and lower equity AFUDC. Both periods also benefited from adjustments to reflect the timing of Transco’s rate case.

Second-quarter and year-to-date 2025 Adjusted Net Income improved by $45 million and $56 million, respectively, over the prior year, driven by the previously described impacts to net income, adjusted primarily to remove the effects of net unrealized gains/losses on commodity derivatives and reflect the timing of Transco’s rate case, as well as the related income tax effects of such adjustments.

Second-quarter 2025 Available Funds From Operations (AFFO) increased by $67 million compared to the prior year primarily due to higher results from operations, exclusive of non-cash items, and higher distributions from equity-method investees. Year-to-date 2025 AFFO increased by $5 million compared to the prior year as increased distributions from equity-method investees were substantially offset by lower contributions from noncontrolling interests.

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 America

Second-quarter and year-to-date 2025 Modified and Adjusted EBITDA improved compared to the prior year driven by Transco expansion projects and new Gulf volumes, partially offset by lower equity AFUDC. Modified EBITDA for the 2024 periods was impacted by one-time acquisition costs, which are excluded from Adjusted EBITDA, while adjusted EBITDA for the 2025 periods reflect adjustments for the timing of Transco’s rate case.

Northeast G&P

Second-quarter 2025 Modified and Adjusted EBITDA increased compared to the prior year driven primarily by higher gathering and processing volumes at Ohio Valley Midstream, Cardinal, and Bradford.

West

Second-quarter 2025 Modified and Adjusted EBITDA increased compared to the prior year driven by higher volumes in the Haynesville and new volumes from the 2025 Rimrock and Saber acquisitions, partially offset by lower minimum volume commitment (MVC) revenues in the Eagle Ford. The year-to-date period also benefited from higher commodity margins.

Gas & NGL Marketing Services

Second-quarter 2025 Modified EBITDA increased from the prior year primarily reflecting a $102 million net favorable change in unrealized gains/losses on commodity derivatives, which is excluded from Adjusted EBITDA. Year-to-date 2025 Modified EBITDA also increased from the prior year reflecting a $194 million net favorable change in unrealized gains/losses on commodity derivatives, which is excluded from Adjusted EBITDA, partially offset by a decline in gas marketing margins.

Other

The increase in second-quarter 2025 Modified EBITDA compared to the prior year reflects a $65 million favorable change in unrealized gains/losses on commodity derivatives, which is excluded from Adjusted EBITDA. The increase in year-to-date 2025 Modified EBITDA reflects improved realized results from upstream operations, including contributions from the Crowheart acquisition in fourth-quarter 2024, and a $33 million net favorable change in unrealized gains/losses on commodity derivatives, which is excluded from Adjusted EBITDA.

2025 Financial Guidance

The company is raising the midpoint of its 2025 Adjusted EBITDA guidance by $50 million to $7.75 billion within the range of between $7.6 billion and $7.9 billion. The company continues to expect 2025 growth capex to between $2.575 billion and $2.875 billion and maintenance capex remains between $650 million and $750 million, excluding capital of $150 million for emissions reduction and modernization initiatives. Williams expects its leverage ratio midpoint for 2025 to be 3.65x and has increased the dividend by 5.3% on an annualized basis to $2.00 in 2025 from $1.90 in 2024.

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, including our indirect share from interests owned by equity-method investees.

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 (AFFO) 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. AFFO may be adjusted to exclude certain items that we characterize as unrepresentative of our ongoing operations.

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.

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, outcomes 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;

Demand for services.

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 and the ability of other energy companies with whom we conduct or seek to conduct business, to obtain necessary permits and approvals, and our ability to achieve favorable rate proceeding outcomes;
Exposure to the credit risk of 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 consummate asset sales on acceptable terms;
The ability 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;
The ability to effectively execute our financing plan;
Increasing scrutiny and changing expectations from stakeholders with respect to 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;
Risks associated with weather and natural phenomena, including climate conditions and physical damage to our facilities;
Acts of terrorism, cybersecurity incidents, and related disruptions;
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, tariffs on foreign-made materials and goods (including steel and steel pipes) necessary to our business, 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 and conflicts in the Middle East;
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, 2024, as filed with the SEC on February 25, 2025, and (b) Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors in subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q.
