HOUSTON, May 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Today Western Midstream Partners, LP $(WES)$ ("WES" or the "Partnership") announced first-quarter financial and operating results. Net income (loss) attributable to limited partners for the first quarter of 2025 totaled $301.8 million, or $0.79 per common unit (diluted), with first-quarter 2025 Adjusted EBITDA(1) totaling $593.6 million.

FIRST-QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS

   -- Gathered record natural-gas throughput in the Delaware Basin of 2.0 Bcf/d, 
      representing a modest sequential-quarter increase. 
 
   -- Completed the start-up of the North Loving natural-gas processing plant 
      in late-February, increasing WES's operated, nameplate natural-gas 
      processing capacity by 250 MMcf/d to approximately 2.2 Bcf/d at our West 
      Texas complex in the Delaware Basin. 
 
   -- Placed steel pipe order necessary to construct the Pathfinder Pipeline 
      from a domestic steel mill, protecting the project's targeted returns by 
      minimizing the impact from tariffs. 
 
   -- Retired $664 million of senior notes in January of 2025 with cash on 
      hand. 

On May 15, 2025, WES will pay its first-quarter 2025 per-unit distribution of $0.910, or $3.64 on an annualized basis, which represents growth of 4-percent over the prior quarter's distribution and is in-line with prior commentary. First-quarter 2025 Free Cash Flow(1) after distributions totaled $58.4 million.

First-quarter 2025 natural-gas throughput(2) averaged 5.1 Bcf/d, representing a 2-percent sequential-quarter decrease. First-quarter 2025 crude-oil and NGLs throughput(2) averaged 503 MBbls/d, representing a 6-percent sequential-quarter decrease. Operated crude-oil and NGLs throughput averaged 411 MBbls/d, representing a 3-percent sequential-quarter decrease. First-quarter 2025 produced-water throughput(2) averaged 1,166 MBbls/d, representing a 2-percent sequential-quarter decrease.

"I am pleased to report another successful quarter for WES marked by strong financial performance and stability," commented Oscar Brown, President and Chief Executive Officer. "We also successfully commenced operations at the North Loving plant in the Delaware Basin ahead of schedule and under budget in late February. This significant milestone positions WES for continued growth within the basin and demonstrates our commitment to operational excellence."

"In the first quarter, our Adjusted EBITDA increased primarily due to increased NGLs recoveries in combination with higher commodity pricing, another quarter of record natural-gas throughput and increased margin contribution from the Delaware Basin, and lower operating expenses. Notwithstanding the recent market volatility, our 2025 guidance remains unchanged as we have not observed any significant, near-term forecast changes by our customers. We still anticipate throughput growth this year across all products, primarily driven by the Delaware Basin and the tie-in of the Altamont pipeline to our Chipeta plant in Utah. Additionally, our contract structures provide more predictable cash flows, even during periods of commodity price volatility."

"We continue to expect capital expenditures to range between $625 million and $775 million primarily driven by the completion of the North Loving plant, ongoing Pathfinder project expenses, and expansion efforts in the Powder River Basin and at our Chipeta plant in Utah. Additionally, we already placed orders for the steel required to construct the Pathfinder Pipeline from a domestic steel mill, which should protect the project's targeted rate of return by minimizing the potential impact from the recently announced import tariffs. Should volatile market conditions persist, and our customers begin reducing activity levels, we have the ability to flex our capital spending lower by canceling or deferring certain growth projects to better align with revised producer forecasts."

"Looking ahead, our investment thesis remains robust, highlighted by WES's compelling tax deferred distribution yield. We will continue to focus on the factors within our control, such as reducing our overall cost structure, maintaining a strong balance sheet, and allocating capital to growth projects that drive top-tier unitholder returns. With investment-grade credit ratings, net leverage below 3.0-times, and $2.4 billion in liquidity, we have the financial flexibility needed to execute our growth plans. We are also committed to returning capital to our unitholders, as evidenced by our recent 4-percent distribution increase, and we are confident that our disciplined approach will continue to create significant long-term value for our unitholders," concluded Mr. Brown.

WES defines Adjusted EBITDA attributable to Western Midstream Partners, LP ("Adjusted EBITDA") as net income (loss), plus (i) distributions from equity investments, (ii) non-cash equity-based compensation expense, (iii) interest expense, (iv) income tax expense, (v) depreciation and amortization, (vi) impairments, and (vii) other expense (including lower of cost or market inventory adjustments recorded in cost of product), less (i) gain (loss) on divestiture and other, net, (ii) gain (loss) on early extinguishment of debt, (iii) income from equity investments, (iv) income tax benefit, (v) other income, and (vi) the noncontrolling interest owners' proportionate share of revenues and expenses.

WES defines Free Cash Flow as net cash provided by operating activities less total capital expenditures and contributions to equity investments, plus distributions from equity investments in excess of cumulative earnings.

Below are reconciliations of (i) gross margin (GAAP) to Adjusted Gross Margin (non-GAAP), (ii) net income (loss) (GAAP) and net cash provided by operating activities (GAAP) to Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP), and (iii) net cash provided by operating activities (GAAP) to Free Cash Flow (non-GAAP), as required under Regulation G of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Management believes that Adjusted Gross Margin, Adjusted EBITDA, and Free Cash Flow are widely accepted financial indicators of WES's financial performance compared to other publicly traded partnerships and are useful in assessing WES's ability to incur and service debt, fund capital expenditures, and make distributions. Adjusted Gross Margin, Adjusted EBITDA, and Free Cash Flow as defined by WES, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Therefore, WES's Adjusted Gross Margin, Adjusted EBITDA, and Free Cash Flow should be considered in conjunction with net income (loss) attributable to Western Midstream Partners, LP and other applicable performance measures, such as gross margin or cash flows provided by operating activities.
