HOUSTON & MIDLAND, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Kinetik Holdings Inc. (NYSE: KNTK) (“
Kinetik
” or the “
Company
”) today reported financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2024.
Third Quarter 2024 Results and Commentary
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, Kinetik reported net income including noncontrolling interest of $83.7 million and $228.0 million, respectively.
Kinetik generated Adjusted EBITDA
1
of $265.7 million and $733.6 million, Distributable Cash Flow
1
of $184.2 million and $501.6 million, and Free Cash Flow
1
of $164.7 million and $377.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively.
For the three months ended September 30, 2024, Kinetik processed natural gas volumes of 1.71 Bcf/d, a 15% increase year-over-year.
“Kinetik reported a record breaking third quarter that exceeded all expectations,” said Jamie Welch, Kinetik’s President & Chief Executive Officer. “Adjusted EBITDA
1
increased 23% year-over-year. Our Midstream Logistics segment benefited from a full quarter from our New Mexico assets with the system operating at full capacity as well as strong run times and performance at our Texas assets. The outperformance demonstrated is even more significant given nearly 170 Mmcf/d of wellhead gas volume curtailments on our system in response to low Waha Hub prices. Strength at our Pipeline Transportation segment reflected contributions from the Permian Highway Pipeline Expansion and Delaware Link, as well as our now increased ownership of EPIC Crude.”
“In September, we announced a series of transactions with Diamondback Energy and EPIC Midstream to strengthen the financial profile of EPIC Crude. Immediately following the transactions, EPIC Crude launched and completed a Term Loan B refinancing, which was a key component to the overall transformation. We are pleased with the outcome of the refinancing as it significantly reduces interest expense and positions the business to start distributions to partners in 2025. Also in September, Kinetik received approval from the US Environmental Protection Agency (“
EPA
”) for the Monitoring, Reporting and Verification (“
MRV
”) Plan for three Class II Acid Gas Injection (“
AGI
”) wells at our Maljamar and Dagger Draw processing facilities. This is only the fourth MRV Plan approved in the state of New Mexico and eighth in the Permian Basin. The MRV Plan enables Kinetik to economically benefit from sequestered carbon dioxide (“
CO
2
”) through 45Q tax credits.”
“The Operations and Commercial teams have been progressing project construction in Lea and Eddy Counties, New Mexico and commercializing the build out and expansion of our Kings Landing Processing Complex. Our Operations team remains highly focused on the construction of Kings Landing Cryo I. Its in-service is critical for our customers in the region, and we expect it to commence operations in the second quarter of 2025. We have also continued our track record of cost discipline, which gives us confidence to tighten our 2024 Capital Expenditures
2
Guidance range to $270 million to $290 million. Following our decision to purchase long-lead critical path components required for an expansion of the Kings Landing Processing Complex, the Commercial team has been very active with current and prospective customers, and we plan to make a final investment decision as soon as possible given the processing capacity needed to facilitate producer development plans in the Northern Delaware.”
Welch continued, “As we look to close out a strong year, we are increasing our Adjusted EBITDA
1
Guidance range to $970 million to $1 billion with an internal focus to achieve the top end of that range. Employees are aligned on this objective, and I am incredibly proud of our team’s dedication and focus on execution as we strive together to reach this goal. Our outperformance year-to-date coupled with the large Lea County customer MVC step-up and treating services commencing and the return of curtailed volumes during the fourth quarter puts what was once a medium-term goal now within immediate reach.”
“The increased confidence in Kinetik’s outlook and the achievement of our 3.5x leverage target underscored the Board of Directors’ decision to raise the quarterly cash dividend. We remain committed to a balanced capital allocation approach that maximizes shareholder value and provides both flexibility for opportunistic organic and inorganic capital deployment, as well as continued acceleration of returns to shareholders through annual ratable dividend growth.”

Operational
-
Increased equity interest in EPIC Crude to 27.5% and finalizing a new transportation arrangement with EPIC Crude.
-
Construction on the 200 Mmcf/d Kings Landing Cryo I in Eddy County, New Mexico continues and is expected to be operational in the second quarter of 2025.
-
Progressing construction on the low- and high-pressure gas gathering and processing project in Eddy County, New Mexico, which is expected to begin in December 2024.
-
MVC step-up and treating services commenced in November 2024 with an amended agreement with one of Kinetik’s largest customers in Lea County, New Mexico.
-
Announcing a new intrabasin large diameter, high-pressure rich gas pipeline connecting the west side of the Company’s system in Eddy County, New Mexico to Culberson County, Texas, with expected in-service in the first quarter of 2026. The new pipeline will provide flexibility to transport sweet gas volumes sourced from the Northern Delaware to Kinetik’s Delaware South system, freeing up processing capacity at its Delaware North system for additional sour gas treating and processing. This project is a creative modification of scope for our recently announced Eddy County project without introducing incremental capital spend.
New Energy Ventures and Sustainability
-
Received approval from the EPA for the MRV Plan for the Maljamar and Dagger Draw Gas Plants to inject Treated Acid Gas into three AGI wells which will enable Kinetik to begin collecting 45Q tax credits on sequestered CO

(1) 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 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 derivatives 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 distribute.
(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, 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 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 distribute.
(4) Net Debt is defined as total current 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.
