  • Adjusted EBITDA of $1.415 billion – up $153 million or 12% from 1Q 2020; up 6% excluding favorable winter storm effects
  • Record gathering volumes of 13.6 Bcf/d; record contracted transmission capacity of 22.8 Bcf/d
  • Debt-to-Adjusted EBITDA at quarter end: 4.2x
  • Guidance midpoints for Adjusted EBITDA and AFFO increase by $100 million
  • Dividend coverage ratio is 2.07x (AFFO basis)

CEO Perspective

Alan Armstrong, president and chief executive officer, made the following comments:

Our natural gas business strategy continues to deliver consistently strong cash flow with first-quarter Adjusted EBITDA up 12 percent from last year, driven in part by record gathering volumes particularly in the Northeast. Severe winter weather in February boosted marketing margins and upstream sales from unusually high prices, but even excluding these weather effects, our Adjusted EBITDA was up 6 percent, underscoring the stability of our earnings regardless of external factors.”

We continued our pace of execution in the first quarter, placing Southeastern Trail into full service in early January and progressing on Transco’s Leidy South project to bring additional gas from Appalachia to growing demand centers along the Atlantic Seaboard by next winter. We also filed our FERC application for the Regional Energy Access pipeline expansion, a low-impact project being designed in a manner that is adaptable to future renewable energy sources like clean hydrogen and RNG blending.”

Armstrong added, “As one of the nation’s largest clean energy infrastructure providers, we have a huge opportunity to leverage our natural gas-focused business as the world moves to a low-carbon future, while helping customers and the United States meet climate goals. We believe clean, affordable and reliable natural gas is an important component of today’s fuel mix and should be prioritized as one of the most important tools to aggressively displace more carbon-intensive fuels around the world.”

(3) Capital Investments includes increases to property, plant, and equipment, purchases of businesses, net of cash acquired, and purchases of and contributions to equity-method investments.

GAAP Measures

  • First-quarter 2021 net income improved by $943 million over the prior year, reflecting $128 million of higher commodity margins in 2021 and $21 million from recently acquired upstream operations, while lower Haynesville gathering revenues were substantially offset by increased earnings from Northeast G&P equity-method investments. The improvement over last year also reflects the absence of $1.2 billion in pre-tax charges in 2020 related to impairments of equity-method investments, goodwill and goodwill at an equity investee, of which $65 million was attributable to noncontrolling interests. The provision for income taxes changed unfavorably by $345 million primarily due to higher pre-tax income.
  • The severe winter weather impact in February 2021 and the associated effect on commodity prices is estimated to have had a net favorable impact on our pre-tax results of approximately $77 million, primarily within our commodity margins and results from upstream operations.
  • Cash flow from operations for the first quarter of 2021 increased as compared to 2020 primarily due to the previously described commodity margin improvement in 2021.

Non-GAAP Measures

  • Adjusted EBITDA increased by $153 million over the prior year, driven by the previously described benefits from commodity margins and recently acquired upstream operations, while lower Haynesville gathering revenues were substantially offset by increased contributions from Northeast G&P equity-method investments. Even excluding the net favorable impact of the severe winter weather impact in February 2021, Adjusted EBITDA was higher than the prior year.
  • Adjusted Income improved by $116 million over the prior year driven by similar changes.
  • Available Funds From Operations increased by $109 million, largely reflecting the previously described improved commodity margins in 2021.

Note: Williams uses Modified EBITDA for its segment reporting. Definitions of Modified EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA and schedules reconciling to net income are included in this news release.

Transmission & Gulf of Mexico

  • First-quarter 2021 Modified and Adjusted EBITDA decreased slightly compared to the prior year, as small increases in service revenues, commodity margins, and investee EBITDA were offset by higher operating and administrative costs. An increase in natural gas transmission service revenues related to recent expansion projects was partially offset by lower gathering volumes in the Gulf of Mexico.

Northeast G&P

  • First-quarter 2021 Modified and Adjusted EBITDA increased over the prior year driven by higher gathering volumes on our Bradford and Marcellus South systems, along with the benefit of an increased ownership in Blue Racer Midstream, acquired in November 2020.
  • Gross gathering volumes for first-quarter 2021, including 100% of operated equity-method investments, increased by 11% over the same period in 2020.

West

  • First-quarter 2021 Modified and Adjusted EBITDA increased over the prior year primarily due to an estimated $55 million net favorable impact from the February 2021 severe winter weather, $50 million of higher commodity marketing margins driven by higher prices and the absence of prior year inventory impacts, and lower operating and administrative costs. These favorable changes were partially offset by lower Haynesville gathering revenues from lower rates and volumes, as well as lower investee EBITDA driven by reduced transportation volumes on Overland Pass Pipeline.

Other

  • First-quarter 2021 Modified and Adjusted EBITDA includes $30 million from our recently acquired oil and gas producing properties. Of this amount, we estimate that approximately $22 million is attributable to the February 2021 severe winter weather.

2021 Financial Guidance

The company now expects 2021 Adjusted EBITDA between $5.2 billion and $5.4 billion and Available Funds from Operations between $3.7 billion and $3.9 billion, both a $100 million midpoint increase from guidance originally issued in February 2021. As well, the leverage ratio midpoint has been updated to ~4.2x versus ~4.25x prior for year-end 2021. The company is keeping intact 2021 growth capex guidance between $1 billion to $1.2 billion. Importantly, Williams expects to generate positive free cash flow (after capital expenditures and dividends), allowing it to retain financial flexibility.
