CEO Commentary

"Kinetik delivered exceptional second quarter 2026 results, significantly exceeding expectations," said Jamie Welch, Kinetik's President & Chief Executive Officer. "Our performance during the quarter demonstrates the strength and resilience of our integrated business model, the quality and diversification of our asset footprint, and our continued strong operational performance, which enabled Kinetik to deliver the strongest financial results in Company history."

"We advanced numerous initiatives this quarter, including reaching final investment decision ("FID") on KLII, completing the ECCC Pipeline with right-of-way procurement beginning for an anticipated 2027 expansion, and commencing drilling operations at the Kings Landing acid gas injection ("AGI") well. Furthermore, we have initiated procurement of long-lead equipment for the next processing plant after KLII given updated development plans and new customer commitments."

Welch added, "The increase to our 2026 Adjusted EBITDA(1) guidance reflects not only outperformance in the first half of the year, but also an increase relative to original expectations for the remainder of the year. We now anticipate Adjusted EBITDA(1) to be between $260 million and $270 million in the third quarter and $270 million to $280 million in the fourth quarter."

"Momentum is building across our system and is expected to be a strong tailwind into 2027. Curtailments have eased, customer activity is pulling forward, and the market increasingly recognizes the critical role the Permian Basin plays in meeting growing U.S. natural gas demand, anchored by LNG exports and data center developments. Kinetik is exceptionally well positioned to capitalize on this structural growth, reinforcing our tremendous confidence in 2027 and beyond."

Segment Insights

The Midstream Logistics segment generated Adjusted EBITDA(1) of $204.8 million, a 35% increase year-over-year for the three months ended June 30, 2026. Kinetik processed natural gas volumes of 1.74 Bcf/d in the second quarter of 2026, flat year-over-year despite an estimated 250 MMcf/d of Waha price-related processed gas volume shut-ins. Second quarter 2026 results benefited from strong system operating performance, improved natural gas liquid ("NGL") recoveries and condensate yields, optimization opportunities, and favorable commodity prices and spreads.

The Pipeline Transportation segment generated Adjusted EBITDA(1) of $83.0 million, a 14% decrease year-over-year for the three months ended June 30, 2026, due to the Company's divestiture in late 2025 of its equity interest in EPIC Crude Holdings, LP ("EPIC Crude"). Permian Highway Pipeline outperformed year-over-year on lower fuel costs and higher gross margin. Additionally, Shin Oak outperformed expectations due to more robust throughput volumes.

Raising 2026 Outlook and Guidance

Kinetik is increasing its full year 2026 Adjusted EBITDA(1) guidance to be between $1.04 billion and $1.1 billion. The revised midpoint represents a 7% increase from the original 2026 guidance issued in February and an approximately 15% increase year-over-year pro forma the EPIC Crude divestiture.(9)

Updated Adjusted EBITDA(1) guidance assumes:

   --  Approximately 25 MMcf/d of curtailments on average for the second half 
      of 2026; 
 
   --  2026 processed gas volume exit rate10 of nearly 2.2 Bcf/d, an increase 
      of approximately 20% exit-to-exit; and 
 
   --  Updated full year 2026 average commodity prices11 of $78.65 per barrel 
      for WTI, $2.83 per MMBtu for Houston Ship Channel natural gas, ($0.26) 
      per MMBtu for Waha Hub natural gas, and $0.62 per gallon for composite 
      NGLs. 

Kinetik is also increasing its 2026 Capital Expenditures(2) guidance (including maintenance) to approximately $560 million to reflect:

   --  FID of KLII; 
 
   --  Acceleration of customer development plans into late 2026 and early 
      2027; 
 
   --  Optimization projects across operations; 
 
   --  Purchase of long-lead equipment items relating to the next processing 
      capacity expansion; and 
 
   --  Right-of-way procurement for an expansion of ECCC Pipeline. 

Strategic Projects & Commercial Activity

In May 2026, Kinetik reached FID on KLII. Upon completion, total Delaware North sour gas processing capacity will exceed 700 MMcf/d. Processing, amine, and residue compression equipment has been purchased. Total capital is expected to be approximately $260 million. KLII is now expected to be completed in mid-2028, earlier than previously communicated.

The ECCC Pipeline was placed into service, establishing a north-to-south connection across the western portion of Kinetik's system between Eddy and Culberson Counties. Rich gas throughput volumes on the pipeline are expected to increase throughout the balance of the year as Kings Landing I reaches full utilization. Given ECCC Pipeline utilization expectations and continued customer growth in New Mexico, Kinetik has initiated right-of-way procurement to support an expansion.

Following approval of all permitting earlier this year, the Company's acid gas injection and sour conversion project remains on schedule with site construction activities and drilling operations underway. Project in-service is expected by year-end 2026.

Kinetik continues to make progress on Diamond Volt, its 40 MW behind-the-meter power generation project at the Diamond Cryo Complex, with in-service anticipated in the second quarter of 2027.

Kinetik's Board of Directors has also approved the purchase of long-lead equipment for a processing expansion beyond KLII, positioning the Company to keep pace with its customer growth as overall activity has continued to increase. These investments reinforce Kinetik's confidence in the long-term growth of its business.

Several commercial initiatives were recently executed that further strengthen Kinetik's integrated Permian-to-Gulf Coast platform, address demand needs, and expand market optionality.

The Company secured firm access to additional Gulf Coast netback residue gas pricing in 2027, enhancing its integrated residue gas offering and providing its customers with premium price assurance.

Kinetik also signed residue gas and NGL transportation agreements for its Delaware North processing complexes, providing diversified market access, improving customer netbacks, and increasing operational flexibility. These agreements support continued customer growth and strengthen the outlook for Kinetik's existing and expanding Delaware North processing capacity.

(1) Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income including noncontrolling 
interest adjusted for interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, 
gain or loss on disposal of assets and debt extinguishment, the 
proportionate EBITDA from our EMI pipelines, share-based compensation 
expense, noncash increases and decreases related to commodity hedging 
activities, integration and transaction costs and 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 interest or any other measure of financial 
performance presented in accordance with GAAP. 
 
(2) 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 swaps and maintenance capital expenditures. Distributable Cash 
Flow should not be considered as an alternative to the GAAP measure of 
net income including non-controlling interest 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. 
 
(3) 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 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 interest 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. 
 
(4) Net Debt is defined as total short-term and 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.

(1)    Corporate and Other represents those results that: (i) are not 
       specifically attributable to an operating segment; (ii) are not 
       individually reportable or (iii) have not been allocated to a 
       reportable segment for the purpose of evaluating their performance, 
       including certain general and administrative expense items. Items are 
       included here to reconcile the operating segments' profit and loss with 
       the Company's consolidated results. 
(2)    The Company accounts for intersegment sales at market prices, while it 
       accounts for asset transfers at book value. Intersegment revenue is 
       eliminated at consolidation. 
(3)    Operating expenses includes ad valorem taxes. 
(4)    Other segment items include certain other income items, share-based 
       compensation, adjustments related to amortization of contract costs, 
       commodity hedging unrealized gain or loss, integration costs, 
       litigation costs and other one-time costs or amortization. 
(5)    Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income or loss including 
       noncontrolling interest adjusted for interest, taxes, depreciation and 
       amortization, gain or loss on disposal of assets, the proportionate 
       EBITDA from our EMI pipelines, share-based compensation expense, 
       noncash increases and decreases related to commodity hedging 
       activities, integration and transaction costs and 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 interest or any other measure of financial 
       performance presented in accordance with GAAP.
