ONEOK Announces Higher Second Quarter 2024 Earnings; Affirms 2024 Financial Guidance Aug. 5, 2024 Page 3 -more- SECOND QUARTER 2024 FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE ONEOK reported second quarter 2024 net income and adjusted EBITDA of $780 million and $1.6 billion, respectively. Results were driven primarily by higher NGL and natural gas processing volumes in the Rocky Mountain region, increased transportation services in the Natural Gas Pipelines segment and contributions from the Refined Products and Crude segment. An asset sale in the Natural Gas Gathering and Processing segment also contributed a pre-tax net benefit of $53 million during the quarter.

The decrease in adjusted EBITDA for the six-month 2024 period, compared with the same period last year, primarily reflects: • A $734 million decrease related to the Medford incident, due primarily to an insurance settlement gain in 2023 of $779 million, offset partially by $45 million of lower third- party fractionation costs in 2024; and

ONEOK Announces Higher Second Quarter 2024 Earnings; Affirms 2024 Financial Guidance Aug. 5, 2024 Page 6 -more- LINK TO EARNINGS TABLES AND PRESENTATION: https://ir.oneok.com/financial-information/financial-reports NON-GAAP (GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES) FINANCIAL MEASURES: ONEOK has disclosed in this news release adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (adjusted EBITDA), which is a non-GAAP financial metric, used to measure the company’s financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income adjusted for interest expense, depreciation and amortization, noncash impairment charges, income taxes, noncash compensation expense, and other noncash items; and includes adjusted EBITDA from the company’s unconsolidated affiliates using the same recognition and measurement methods used to record equity in net earnings of unconsolidated affiliates. Adjusted EBITDA from unconsolidated affiliates is calculated consistently with the definition above and excludes items such as interest, taxes, depreciation and other noncash items. Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors because it and similar measures are used by many companies in the industry as a measure of financial performance and is commonly employed by financial analysts and others to evaluate ONEOK’s financial performance and to compare the company’s financial performance with the performance of other companies within the industry. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP. This non-GAAP financial measure excludes some, but not all, items that affect net income. Additionally, this calculation may not be comparable with similarly titled measures of other companies. A reconciliation of net income to adjusted EBITDA is included in the tables. At ONEOK (NYSE: OKE), we deliver energy products and services vital to an advancing world.
