    Kinetik Holdings Inc. (NYSE: KNTK) (“Kinetik” or the “Company”) today reported financial results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2023.

    2023 Results and Commentary

    For the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2023, Kinetik processed natural gas volumes of 1.54 Bcf/d and 1.45 Bcf/d, respectively, and reported net income including non-controlling interest of $267.4 million and $386.5 million, respectively. Kinetik generated Adjusted EBITDA1 of $228.0 million and $838.8 million for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2023, respectively, Distributable Cash Flow1 of $149.7 million and $568.5 million for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2023, respectively, and Free Cash Flow1 of $76.9 million and $59.9 million for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2023, respectively.

    “2023 was a critical year for Kinetik as we executed upon highly strategic organic growth projects, key to our long-term vision,” said Jamie Welch, President and Chief Executive Officer. “We reported record volume growth each successive quarter, and exit-to-exit processed gas volumes grew by 22%. Our initiatives throughout 2023 have positioned us well for future growth with existing customers and market share capture in the Northern Delaware Basin. We have meaningfully increased our gas treating capabilities at our processing complexes and placed into service Delaware Link, the PHP expansion, and the gathering system expansion into Lea County, New Mexico. Today, we stand competitively advantaged with available processing capacity and a fully integrated ‘wellhead to Gulf Coast market’ natural gas transportation solution.”

    “We reported full year 2023 Adjusted EBITDA1 of $838.8 million, at the middle of the revised guidance we provided in November and above the midpoint of the original guidance range issued in February 2023. Capital Expenditures2 in 2023 were $531.2 million, within our guidance range. Our operations team did a fantastic job with operated capital spend coming in 5% below internal estimates for full year 2023, which helped offset a portion of the non-operated PHP expansion cost increases. With the completion of our 2023 growth projects, our capital program and Free Cash Flow1 outlook look markedly different, representing an approximately $450 million increase in Free Cash Flow1 year-on-year.”

    2024 Guidance and Outlook

    Kinetik estimates full year 2024 Adjusted EBITDA1 between $905 million and $960 million. The midpoint of the 2024 Guidance implies Adjusted EBITDA1 growth of over 11% year-over-year.

    Guidance assumptions include:

    • Low-double digit growth of gas processed volumes;
    • Over 90% of gross profit from fixed-fee contracts;
    • 2024 average annual commodity prices of approximately $76 per barrel for WTI, $2 per MMBtu for Houston Ship Channel natural gas, and $0.60 per gallon for natural gas liquids; and
    • Unhedged commodity-linked gross profit representing approximately 5% of total gross profit

    The Company estimates 2024 Capital Expenditures2 to be between $125 million and $165 million. This includes approximately $35 million of maintenance capital which is elevated for this year.

    Welch added, “2024 will be an important year along the journey to achieve our financial targets. We have strengthened the composition of our cash flows with increased contributions from our Pipeline Transportation segment and MVC fee-based revenue. The Pipeline Transportation segment is expected to contribute 40% of total 2024 Adjusted EBITDA1, a nearly 15% increase in two years. Our 2024 Capital Expenditures2 guidance is below our previously communicated expectations as we focus on a reduced capital program given the completion of last year’s growth projects. We expect a significant increase in Free Cash Flow1 this year, despite the dividend being paid in cash to all shareholders.”

    Forward-looking statements

    This news release includes certain statements that may constitute “forward-looking statements” for purposes of the federal securities laws. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements that refer to projections, forecasts or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions. The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intends,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “seeks,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “prospects,” “guidance,” “outlook,” “should,” “would,” “will,” and similar expressions may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. These statements include, but are not limited to, statements about the Company’s future business strategy and other plans, expectations, and objectives for the Company’s operations, including statements about strategy, synergies, sustainability goals and initiatives, portfolio monetization opportunities, expansion projects and future operations, and financial guidance; the Company’s share repurchase program and the projected timing, purchase price and number of shares purchased under such program, if at all; projected dividend amounts and the timing thereof and the Company’s leverage and financial profile. While forward-looking statements are based on assumptions and analyses made by us that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, whether actual results and developments will meet our expectations and predictions depend on a number of risks and uncertainties which could cause our actual results, performance, and financial condition to differ materially from our expectations. See Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 to be filed with the SEC. Any forward-looking statement made by us in this news release speaks only as of the date on which it is made. Factors or events that could cause our actual results to differ may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of them. We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement whether as a result of new information, future development, or otherwise, except as may be required by law.

    Additional information

    Additional information follows, including a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA, Distributable Cash Flow, Free Cash Flow, and Net Debt (non-GAAP financial measures) to the GAAP measures.

    Non-GAAP financial measures

    Kinetik’s financial information includes information prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) as well as non-GAAP financial information. It is management’s intent to provide non-GAAP financial information to enhance understanding of our consolidated financial information as prepared in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA, Distributable Cash Flow, Free Cash Flow, Dividend Coverage Ratio, Net Debt and Leverage Ratio are non-GAAP measures. This non-GAAP information should be considered by the reader in addition to, but not instead of, the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP and reconciliations from these results should be carefully evaluated. See “Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Measures” elsewhere in this news release. This news release also includes certain forward-looking non-GAAP financial information. Reconciliations of these forward-looking non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measure are not available without unreasonable efforts. This is due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting the timing or amount of various reconciling items that would impact the most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP financial measure, that have not yet occurred, are out of Kinetik’s control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted. Accordingly, such reconciliation is excluded from this new release. Forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures provided without the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures may vary materially from the corresponding GAAP financial measures.

    1. A non-GAAP financial measure. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and “Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Measures” for further details.
    2. Net of contributions in aid of construction and returns of invested capital from unconsolidated affiliates.
    3. Leverage Ratio is total debt less cash and cash equivalents divided by last twelve months Adjusted EBITDA, calculated in the Company’s credit agreement. The calculation includes Qualified Project and Acquisition EBITDA Adjustments that pertain to the funding of the Permian Highway Pipeline expansion project, Delaware Link project, first quarter 2023 midstream infrastructure asset acquisition, and other qualified projects at the Midstream Logistics segment.
    4. Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA Ratio is defined as Net Debt divided by last twelve months Adjusted EBITDA.
    5. Dividends reinvested and dividends paid in cash as of February 27th, 2024. Final numbers are subject to change.
    6. Net income including noncontrolling interest for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2022 was $48.5 million and $250.7 million, respectively.
    7. Dividend Coverage Ratio is Distributable Cash Flow divided by total declared dividends.
    8. Issued and outstanding shares of 151,185,576 is the sum of 57,096,538 shares of Class A common stock and 94,089,038 shares of Class C common stock.
    9. Net Debt is defined as total long-term debt, excluding deferred financing costs, premiums and discounts, less cash and cash equivalents.

    Notes Regarding Presentation of Financial Information

    The following addresses the results of our operations for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2023, as compared to our results of operations for the same periods in 2022. As the business combination between BCP Raptor Holdco, LP, Kinetik’s predecessor for accounting purposes (“BCP”) and Altus Midstream LP (“Altus”) (the “Transaction”) was determined to be a reverse merger, BCP was considered the accounting acquirer and Altus was considered the legal acquirer. Therefore, BCP’s net assets, carrying at historical value, were presented as the predecessor to the Company’s historical financial statements and the comparable period presented herein reflects the results of operations of BCP for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2022 and Altus’ results of operations from February 22, 2022, the closing date of the Transaction, through December 31, 2022. Kinetik’s financial results on and after February 22, 2022 reflect the results of the combined company.

    Unless otherwise noted or the context requires otherwise, references herein to Kinetik Holdings Inc. or “the Company” with respect to time periods prior to February 22, 2022 include BCP and its consolidated subsidiaries and do not include Altus and its consolidated subsidiaries, while references herein to Kinetik Holdings Inc. with respect to time periods from and after February 22, 2022 include Altus and its consolidated subsidiaries.

    The Company completed a two-for-one Stock Split on June 8, 2022. All corresponding per-share and share amounts for periods prior to June 8, 2022 have been retroactively restated to reflect the two-for-one Stock Split.

    (1) The results of the legacy Altus business are not included in the Company’s consolidated financials prior to February 22, 2022.
    (2) Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income including non-controlling interests adjusted for interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, impairment charges, asset write-offs, the proportionate EBITDA from unconsolidated affiliates, equity in earnings from unconsolidated affiliates, share-based compensation expense, non-cash increases and decreases related to trading and hedging agreements, extraordinary losses and unusual or non-recurring charges. Adjusted EBITDA provides a basis for comparison of our business operations between current, past and future periods by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to the GAAP measure of net income including non-controlling interests or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP.
    (3) Distributable Cash Flow is defined as Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted for the proportionate EBITDA from unconsolidated affiliates, returns on invested capital from unconsolidated affiliates, interest expense, net of amounts capitalized, unrealized gains or losses on interest rate derivatives, distributions to preferred unitholders and maintenance capital expenditures. Distributable Cash Flow should not be considered as an alternative to the GAAP measure of net income including non-controlling interests or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP. We believe that Distributable Cash Flow is a useful measure to compare cash generation performance from period to period and to compare the cash generation performance for specific periods to the amount of cash dividends we make.
    (4) Free Cash Flow is defined as Distributable Cash Flow adjusted for growth capital expenditures, investments in unconsolidated affiliates, returns of invested capital from unconsolidated affiliates, cash interest, capitalized interest, realized gains or losses on interest rate derivatives and contributions in aid of construction. Free Cash flow should not be considered as an alternative to the GAAP measure of net income including non-controlling interests or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP. We believe that Free Cash Flow is a useful performance measure to compare cash generation performance from period to period and to compare the cash generation performance for specific periods to the amount of cash dividends that we make.
    (5) Net Debt is defined as total long-term debt, excluding deferred financing costs, premiums and discounts, less cash and cash equivalents. Net Debt illustrates our total debt position less cash on hand that could be utilized to pay down debt at the balance sheet date. Net Debt should not be considered as an alternative to the GAAP measure of total long-term debt, or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP.
