NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

A.    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Our accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. These statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and reflect all adjustments that, in our opinion, are necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The 2022 year-end Consolidated Balance Sheet data was derived from our audited Consolidated Financial Statements but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. Certain reclassifications have been made in the prior year Consolidated Financial Statements to conform to the current year presentation. These unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with our audited Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report.

Goodwill Impairment Review - We assess our goodwill for impairment at least annually as of July 1, unless events or changes in circumstances indicate an impairment may have occurred before that time. At July 1, 2023, we assessed qualitative factors to determine whether it was more likely than not that the fair value of each of our reporting units with goodwill was less than its carrying amount. After assessing qualitative factors (including macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations, costs and overall financial performance), we determined that it was more likely than not that the fair value of the Natural Gas Pipelines and Natural Gas Liquids reporting units were not less than their respective carrying value, that no further testing was necessary and that goodwill was not considered impaired.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards Update - Changes to GAAP are established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) in the form of ASUs to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. We consider the applicability and impact of all ASUs. ASUs not discussed herein or in our Annual Report were assessed and determined to be either not applicable or clarifications of ASUs previously issued. There have been no new accounting pronouncements that have become effective or have been issued that are of significance or potential significance to us.

B.    MAGELLAN ACQUISITION

On September 25, 2023, we completed the previously announced agreement to acquire all the outstanding common units of Magellan in a cash-and-stock transaction. The acquisition strategically diversifies our complementary asset base and allows for significant expected synergies as a combined entity. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, each common unit of Magellan was exchanged for a fixed ratio of 0.667 shares of ONEOK common stock and $25.00 of cash, for a total consideration of $14.1 billion. A total of approximately 135 million shares of common stock were issued, with a fair value of approximately $9.0 billion as of the closing date of the Magellan Acquisition. We funded the cash portion of the acquisition with an underwritten public offering of $5.25 billion senior unsecured notes. In connection with the underwritten public offering, we terminated the undrawn commitment letter for the $5.25 billion unsecured 364-day bridge loan facility. For additional information on our long-term debt, see Note F.

Magellan’s operations are principally composed of transportation, storage and distribution of Refined Products, certain NGLs and crude oil. The assets acquired consist of an approximately 9,800-mile Refined Products pipeline system with 54 terminals, including one marine storage terminal, and crude oil infrastructure with approximately 1,000 miles of pipelines, one condensate splitter and three storage terminals. We also acquired ownership interests in Magellan’s eight unconsolidated affiliates. In conjunction with the Magellan Acquisition, Magellan’s results of operations will be reported within our new Refined Products and Crude segment, consistent with how information is presented to our chief operating decision maker.

The Magellan Acquisition was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification 805, “Business Combinations,” which requires, among other things, assets acquired and liabilities assumed to be recorded at their fair values on the acquisition date. Determining the fair value of acquired assets and liabilities assumed requires management’s judgment and the use of independent valuation specialists. The purchase price allocation presented below is preliminary, as certain data necessary to complete the purchase price allocation is not yet available, including, but not limited to, the final valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Management is also evaluating certain assumptions of assets acquired and liabilities assumed and may adjust the allocation in subsequent periods. The final valuation will be completed no later than one year from the acquisition date.

Cash consideration per Magellan unit			$25.00
Cash consideration			$	5,052
Magellan public common units outstanding			202.1
ONEOK exchange ratio per Magellan unit			0.667
Shares of ONEOK common stock issued			134.8
ONEOK common stock closing price on September 25, 2023			$66.54
Fair value of common stock issued			$	8,969
Fair value of Magellan replacement equity awards			93
Equity consideration			$	9,062
Total consideration			$	14,114

			At September 25, 2023
Assets acquired:			(Millions of dollars)
Cash and cash equivalents			$	44
Accounts receivables, net			245
Inventories			348
Other current assets			65
Property, plant and equipment			11,562
Investments in unconsolidated affiliates			909
Intangible assets			645
Other assets			112
Total assets acquired			13,930
Liabilities assumed:
Accounts payable			221
Other current liabilities			533
Long-term debt, excluding current maturities			4,013
Other deferred credits and liabilities			203
Total liabilities assumed			4,970
Total identifiable net assets			8,960
Goodwill			5,154
Total purchase price			$	14,114

Property, plant and equipment:

Property, plant and equipment consists primarily of pipeline, pipeline-related equipment, storage tanks and processing equipment and will be depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets.

Intangible assets:

The preliminary value of net identifiable intangible assets relates to contract-based customer relationships that will be amortized over the period of expected benefit.

Long-term debt, excluding current maturities:

We assumed the outstanding debt of Magellan and utilized publicly traded prices to estimate the fair value. The debt comprises senior unsecured obligations with varying maturities and interest rates as outlined in Note F. Recognizing the debt at its acquisition date fair value resulted in a discount from the notional value. The discount will be amortized into interest expense over the remaining life of the debt.

Other deferred credits and liabilities:

Magellan’s pension and postretirement benefit net liabilities of $71 million were assumed in conjunction with the Magellan Acquisition. These defined benefit plans are composed of two pension plans, including one for non-union employees and one for union employees, as well as a postretirement welfare benefit plan for certain employees.

Goodwill:

The following table sets forth the amounts of goodwill by segment for the periods indicated:

			Natural Gas Gathering and Processing						Natural Gas Liquids						Natural Gas Pipelines						Refined Products and Crude						Total
			(Millions of dollars)

September 30, 2023			$	—					$	371					$	157					$	5,154					$	5,682

(a) - Goodwill from the Magellan Acquisition primarily represents expected commercial and cost synergies and is expected to be fully deductible for tax purposes. Allocation is preliminary and may be updated as we continue to evaluate the benefits of expected commercial and cost synergies to reporting units.

Results of Operations

The results of operations attributable to the Magellan Acquisition have been included in our Consolidated Financial Statements since the date of the acquisition through September 30, 2023. Revenue and net income attributable to the assets acquired for the period September 25, 2023, through September 30, 2023, were $72 million and $29 million, respectively.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we recognized approximately $154 million of transaction costs associated with the Magellan Acquisition, as outlined in the table below. These non-recurring costs are primarily related to advisory fees, severance and settlement of share-based awards for certain Magellan employees, as well as bridge facility commitment fees. The following table sets forth the impact of acquisition related transaction costs in our Consolidated Statements of Income as of the periods indicated:

						Three Months Ended						Nine Months Ended
						September 30,						September 30,
						2023						2023
						(Millions of dollars)
Transaction costs						$	123					$	133
Interest expense						13						21
Total						$	136					$	154

The unaudited pro forma financial information for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, includes a one-time operational gain of $779 million related to insurance proceeds on the Medford incident. The unaudited pro forma financial information is presented for informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of our operating results that would have occurred had the transaction been completed at the beginning of the period presented, nor is it necessarily indicative of future results.

C.    MEDFORD INCIDENT

On July 9, 2022, a fire occurred at our 210 MBbl/d Medford, Oklahoma, natural gas liquids fractionation facility. Beginning in August 2022, we developed claims related to the Medford incident and recorded accruals for the expected insurance recoveries. We assessed incurred costs and lost earnings related to business interruption and property damage to our facility, as well as timing of recognition under applicable insurance recovery guidance, and recorded accruals of $151 million in 2022 for insurance recoveries that offset our incurred costs and losses.

On January 9, 2023, we reached an agreement with our insurers to settle all claims for physical damage and business interruption related to the Medford incident. Under the terms of the settlement agreement, we agreed to resolve the claims for total insurance payments of $930 million, $100 million of which was received in 2022. The remaining $830 million was received in the first quarter 2023. The proceeds serve as settlement for property damage, business interruption claims to the date of the settlement and as payment in lieu of future business interruption insurance claims.

In the first quarter 2023, we applied the $830 million received to our outstanding insurance receivable at December 31, 2022, of $51 million, and recorded an operational gain for the remaining $779 million in other operating (income) expense, net, within the Consolidated Statement of Income. We classified proceeds received within the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows based on our assessment of the nature of the loss (property and business interruption) included in the settlement.

D.    FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Determining Fair Value - For our fair value measurements, we utilize market prices, third-party pricing services, present value methods and standard option valuation models to determine the price we would receive from the sale of an asset or the transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction at the measurement date. We measure the fair value of a group of financial assets and liabilities consistent with how a market participant would price the net risk exposure at the measurement date. Determining the appropriate classification of our fair value measurements within the fair value hierarchy requires management’s judgment regarding the degree to which market data is observable or corroborated by observable market data. We categorize derivatives based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Our valuation techniques and inputs are consistent with those discussed in Note A of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report.

Magellan Acquisition - Included in our commodity derivative contracts are exchange-traded, exchange cleared and over-the-counter derivative contracts related to Refined Products, certain NGLs and crude oil. The exchange-traded contracts are valued based on quoted prices in active markets and are classified within Level 1 of our fair value hierarchy. The exchange cleared and over-the-counter derivatives are valued based on significant observable pricing inputs including quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets and inputs from third-party pricing services supported with corroborative evidence and are classified within Level 2 of our fair value hierarchy.

Unrealized change included in other comprehensive income (b)			—						122						—						13
Net assets at end of period			$	—					$	51					$	—					$	51

(a) - Included in commodity sales revenues/cost of sales and fuel in our Consolidated Statements of Income.

(b) - Included in change in fair value of derivatives in our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.

During the year ended December 31, 2022, we transferred out of Level 3 commodity derivatives associated with certain locations for NGL basis swaps, principally due to improved transparency of market prices as a result of the volume and frequency of transactions in these markets. We consider the valuation of these commodity derivatives, which are transacted through a clearing broker and valued with an unadjusted published price from an exchange, as a Level 2 valuation.

Other Financial Instruments - The approximate fair value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and short-term borrowings is equal to book value due to the short-term nature of these items. Our cash and cash equivalents are composed of bank and money market accounts and are classified as Level 1. Our short-term borrowings are classified as Level 2 since the estimated fair value of the short-term borrowings can be determined using information available in the commercial paper market. We have investments associated with our supplemental executive retirement plan and nonqualified

16

deferred compensation plan that are carried at fair value and primarily are composed of mutual funds, municipal bonds and other fixed income securities classified as Level 1 and Level 2.

The estimated fair value of our consolidated long-term debt, including current maturities, was $19.8 billion and $12.7 billion at September 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, respectively. The book value of our consolidated long-term debt, including current maturities, was $22.0 billion and $13.6 billion at September 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, respectively. The estimated fair value of the aggregate senior notes outstanding was determined using quoted market prices for similar issues with similar terms and maturities. The estimated fair value of our consolidated long-term debt is classified as Level 2.

E.    RISK-MANAGEMENT AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES USING DERIVATIVES

Risk-management Activities - We are sensitive to changes in natural gas, NGLs and crude oil prices, principally as a result of contractual terms under which these commodities are processed, purchased and sold. As a result of the Magellan Acquisition, we are also sensitive to changes in Refined Product prices. We are also subject to the risk of interest-rate fluctuation in the normal course of business. We use physical-forward purchases and sales and financial derivatives to secure a certain price for a portion of our natural gas, NGLs, Refined Products, condensate and crude oil purchases and sales; to reduce our exposure to commodity price and interest-rate fluctuations; and to achieve more predictable cash flows. We follow established policies and procedures to assess risk and approve, monitor and report our risk-management activities. We have not used these instruments for trading purposes.

Commodity price risk - Commodity price risk refers to the risk of loss in cash flows and future earnings arising from adverse changes in the price of natural gas, NGLs, Refined Products, condensate and crude oil. We may use commodity derivative instruments to reduce the near-term commodity price risk associated with a portion of our forecasted purchases and sales of commodities.

In our Refined Products and Crude segment, we implemented effective hedging strategies for a substantial portion of the segment’s commodity derivative financial instruments that qualify as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes. Changes in the fair value of commodity derivative instruments not designated as a hedge were immaterial for the period September 25, 2023, through September 30, 2023, and are recorded currently in earnings.

Interest-rate risk - We may manage interest-rate risk through the use of fixed-rate debt, floating-rate debt, Treasury locks and interest-rate swaps. Treasury locks are agreements to pay the difference between the benchmark Treasury rate and the rate that is designated in the terms of the agreement. In the second quarter 2023, we entered into $1.1 billion of Treasury locks to hedge the variability of interest payments on a portion of our forecasted debt issuances. In the third quarter 2023, we settled all of our $1.1 billion Treasury locks related to our underwritten public offering of $5.25 billion senior unsecured notes associated with the Magellan Acquisition resulting in a gain of $43 million, which is included in accumulated other comprehensive loss and amortized into interest expense over the term of the related debt. All of our Treasury locks were designated as cash flow hedges.

Interest-rate swaps are agreements to exchange interest payments at some future point based on specified notional amounts. In the third quarter 2023, we settled all of our $0.4 billion forward-starting interest-rate swaps related to our underwritten public offerings of $5.25 billion senior unsecured notes associated with the Magellan Acquisition resulting in a gain of $44 million, which is included in accumulated other comprehensive loss and amortized into interest expense over the term of the related debt. All of our interest-rate swaps were designated as cash flow hedges.

Credit Risk - We monitor the creditworthiness of our counterparties and compliance with policies and limits established by our Risk Oversight and Strategy Committee. We maintain credit policies with regard to our counterparties that we believe minimize credit risk. Our policies and related credit risk are consistent with those discussed in our Annual Report.

$2.5 Billion Credit Agreement - Our $2.5 Billion Credit Agreement, which expires in 2027, is a revolving credit facility and contains certain customary conditions for borrowing, as well as customary financial, affirmative and negative covenants. Among other things, these covenants include maintaining a ratio of consolidated net indebtedness to adjusted EBITDA (EBITDA, as defined in our $2.5 Billion Credit Agreement, adjusted for all noncash charges and increased for projected EBITDA from certain lender-approved capital expansion projects). In addition, adjusted EBITDA as defined in our $2.5 Billion Credit Agreement allows inclusion of the trailing twelve months of consolidated adjusted EBITDA of the acquired business. In the third quarter 2023, we completed the Magellan Acquisition, which allowed us to elect an acquisition adjustment period under our $2.5 Billion Credit Agreement and, as a result, increased our leverage ratio covenant to 5.5 to 1 for the third quarter 2023 and the two following quarters. Thereafter, the covenant will decrease to 5.0 to 1. At September 30, 2023, we had no outstanding borrowings, our ratio of indebtedness to adjusted EBITDA was 3.7 to 1 and we were in compliance with all covenants under our $2.5 Billion Credit Agreement.

Debt Issuances - In August 2023, we completed an underwritten public offering of $5.25 billion senior unsecured notes consisting of $750 million, 5.55% senior notes due 2026; $750 million, 5.65% senior notes due 2028; $500 million, 5.80% senior notes due 2030; $1.5 billion, 6.05% senior notes due 2033; and $1.75 billion, 6.625% senior notes due 2053. The net proceeds, after deducting underwriting discounts, commissions and offering expenses, were $5.2 billion. The net proceeds were used to fund the cash consideration and other costs related to the Magellan Acquisition.

Debt Repayments - In June 2023, we redeemed our $500 million, 7.5% senior notes due September 2023 at 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, with cash on hand.

In February 2023, we redeemed our $425 million, 5.0% senior notes due September 2023 at 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, with cash on hand.

Debt Guarantees - ONEOK, ONEOK Partners, Magellan and the Intermediate Partnership have cross guarantees in place for ONEOK’s, ONEOK Partners’ and Magellan’s indebtedness. The Guardian Term Loan Agreement and Viking Term Loan Agreement are not guaranteed by ONEOK, ONEOK Partners, Magellan or the Intermediate Partnership.

Viking Term Loan Agreement - In March 2023, Viking entered into a $60 million senior unsecured Term Loan Agreement, which is fully drawn. The proceeds were used to repay intercompany debt with ONEOK and for general corporate purposes. The Viking Term Loan Agreement matures in March 2026 and bears interest at Term SOFR plus an applicable margin. As of September 30, 2023, Viking was in compliance with all covenants under the Viking Term Loan Agreement.

G.    EQUITY

Equity Issuances - On September 25, 2023, we completed the previously announced agreement to acquire all the outstanding common units of Magellan in a cash-and-stock transaction. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, each common unit of Magellan was exchanged for a fixed ratio of 0.667 shares of ONEOK common stock and $25.00 of cash. A total of approximately 135 million shares of common stock were issued, with a fair value of approximately $9.0 billion as of the closing date of the Magellan Acquisition.

Dividends - Holders of our common stock share equally in any dividend declared by our Board of Directors, subject to the rights of the holders of outstanding Series E Preferred Stock. Dividends paid on our common stock in February 2023, May 2023 and August 2023 were $0.955 per share. A common stock dividend of $0.955 per share was declared for shareholders of record at the close of business on November 1, 2023, payable November 14, 2023.

Our Series E Preferred Stock pays quarterly dividends on each share of Series E Preferred Stock, when and if, declared by our Board of Directors, at a rate of 5.5% per year. We paid dividends for the Series E Preferred Stock of $0.3 million in February 2023, May 2023 and August 2023.

Equity in net earnings from investments			$	49					$	39					$	132					$	111

(a) - Includes equity in net earnings for the acquired investments from the Magellan Acquisition from the period September 25, 2023 through September 30, 2023.

We incurred expenses in transactions with unconsolidated affiliates of $33 million and $26 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $88 million and $56 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, related primarily to Overland Pass and Northern Border. Revenue earned and accounts receivable from, and accounts payable to, our equity-method investees were not material.

We are the operator of Roadrunner, and as a result of the Magellan Acquisition, we are also the operator of BridgeTex, HoustonLink, MVP, Powder Springs, Saddlehorn, Texas Frontera and the pipeline activities of Seabrook. In each case, we have operating agreements that provide for reimbursement or payment to us for management services and certain operating costs. Reimbursements and payments included in operating income in our Consolidated Statements of Income for all periods presented were not material. In the second quarter 2023, we made an equity contribution of $105 million to Roadrunner, which in combination with an equal contribution from our joint venture partner, was used to repay Roadrunner’s outstanding debt.

K.    COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Environmental Matters and Pipeline Safety - The operation of pipelines, plants and other facilities for the gathering, processing, fractionation, transportation and storage of natural gas, NGLs, condensate, Refined Products, crude oil and other products is subject to numerous and complex laws and regulations pertaining to health, safety and the environment. As an owner and/or operator of these facilities, we must comply with laws and regulations that relate to air and water quality, hazardous and solid waste management and disposal, cultural resource protection and other environmental and safety matters. The cost of planning, designing, constructing and operating pipelines, plants and other facilities must incorporate compliance with these laws, regulations and safety standards. Failure to comply with these laws and regulations may trigger a variety of administrative, civil and potentially criminal enforcement measures, including citizen suits, which can include the assessment of monetary penalties, the imposition of remedial requirements and the issuance of injunctions or restrictions on operation or construction. Management does not believe that, based on currently known information, a material risk of noncompliance with these laws and regulations exists that will affect adversely our consolidated results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

Legal Proceedings - We are a party to various legal proceedings that have arisen in the normal course of our operations. While the results of these proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, we believe the reasonably possible losses from such proceedings, individually and in the aggregate, are not material. Additionally, we believe the probable final outcome of such proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

L.    REVENUES

Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities - Our contract asset balances at the beginning and end of the period primarily relate to our firm service transportation contracts with tiered rates, which are not material. The following table sets forth the balances in contract liabilities for the periods indicated:

Contract Liabilities						(Millions of dollars)
Balance at December 31, 2022 (a)						$	52
Revenue recognized included in beginning balance						(22)
Net additions (b)						141
Balance at September 30, 2023 (c)						$	171

(a) - Contract liabilities of $23 million and $29 million are included in other current liabilities and other deferred credits, respectively, in our Consolidated Balance Sheet.

(b) - Net additions include increases due to the Magellan Acquisition, which are primarily related to customer prepayments for services.

(c) - Contract liabilities of $128 million and $43 million are included in the other current liabilities and other deferred credits, respectively in our Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Receivables from Customers and Revenue Disaggregation - Substantially all of the balances in accounts receivable on our Consolidated Balance Sheets at September 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, relate to customer receivables. Revenue sources are disaggregated in Note M.

Unsatisfied Performance Obligations - We do not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for (i) contracts with an original expected length of one year or less and (ii) variable consideration on contracts for which we recognize revenue at the amount to which we have the right to invoice for services performed.

The following table presents aggregate value allocated to unsatisfied performance obligations as of September 30, 2023, and the amounts we expect to recognize in revenue in future periods, related primarily to firm transportation and storage contracts with remaining contract terms ranging from one month to 21 years:

Expected Period of Recognition in Revenue						(Millions of dollars)
Remainder of 2023						$	291
2024						1,125
2025						873
2026						708
2027 and beyond						2,281
Total						$	5,278

The table above excludes variable consideration allocated entirely to wholly unsatisfied performance obligations, wholly unsatisfied promises to transfer distinct goods or services that are part of a single performance obligation and consideration we determine to be fully constrained. The amounts we determined to be fully constrained relate to future sales obligations under long-term sales contracts where the value is not known and minimum volume agreements, which we consider to be fully constrained until invoiced.

M.    SEGMENTS

Segment Descriptions - Our operations are divided into four reportable business segments as follows:

•    our Natural Gas Gathering and Processing segment gathers, treats and processes natural gas;

•    our Natural Gas Liquids segment gathers, treats, fractionates and transports NGLs and stores, markets and distributes Purity NGLs;

•    our Natural Gas Pipelines segment transports and stores natural gas; and

•    our Refined Products and Crude segment transports, stores and distributes Refined Products, certain NGLs and crude oil, as well as conducts certain commodity-related activities including liquids blending, fractionation and marketing activities. This new reportable business segment was added in conjunction with the Magellan Acquisition that closed on September 25, 2023. Results of operations for this business segment are included below for the period September 25, 2023, through September 30, 2023.

ITEM 2.MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report, as well as our Annual Report.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

Please refer to the “Financial Results and Operating Information” and “Liquidity and Capital Resources” sections of Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in this Quarterly Report for additional information.

Magellan Acquisition - On September 25, 2023, we completed the previously announced agreement to acquire all the outstanding common units of Magellan in a cash-and-stock transaction. The acquisition strategically diversifies our complementary asset base and allows for significant expected synergies as a combined entity. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, each common unit of Magellan was exchanged for a fixed ratio of 0.667 shares of ONEOK common stock and $25.00 of cash, for a total consideration of $14.1 billion. A total of approximately 135 million shares of common stock were issued, with a fair value of approximately $9.0 billion as of the closing date of the Magellan Acquisition. We funded the cash portion of the acquisition with an underwritten public offering of $5.25 billion senior unsecured notes.

For additional information on the Magellan Acquisition, see Note B of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report. See Part 2, Item 1A “Risk Factors” for further discussion of risks related to the Magellan Acquisition. Additional information regarding the financial results and operating information of our Refined Products and Crude segment subsequent to the closing of the Magellan Acquisition is provided in “Financial Results and Operating Information”.

Market Conditions and Business Update - We experienced increased volumes across our system in the third quarter 2023, compared with the third quarter 2022, highlighting our extensive and integrated assets that are located in, and connected with, some of the most productive shale basins, as well as refineries and demand centers, in the United States. Although the energy industry has experienced many commodity cycles, we have positioned ourselves to reduce exposure to direct commodity price volatility. Each of our four reportable segments are primarily fee-based, and we expect our consolidated earnings to be more than 85% fee-based in 2023. While our Natural Gas Gathering and Processing segment’s earnings are primarily fee-based, we have direct commodity price exposure related primarily to fee with POP contracts, and we have hedged approximately 70% of our forecasted equity volumes for the remainder of 2023. In addition, our Natural Gas Gathering and Processing and Natural Gas Liquids segments are exposed to volumetric risk as a result of drilling and completion activity, severe weather disruptions, operational outages, global crude oil, NGL and natural gas demand, changes in gas-to-oil ratios and normal volumetric well declines. Our Refined Products and Crude segment is exposed to volumetric risk due to demand for Refined Products and crude oil in the markets we serve. Our Natural Gas Pipelines segment is not exposed to significant volumetric risk due to nearly all of our capacity being subscribed under long-term, firm fee-based contracts.

Medford Incident - On July 9, 2022, a fire occurred at our 210 MBbl/d Medford, Oklahoma, natural gas liquids fractionation facility. On January 9, 2023, we reached an agreement with our insurers to settle all claims for physical damage and business interruption related to the Medford incident. Under the terms of the settlement agreement, we agreed to resolve the claims for total insurance payments of $930 million, $100 million of which was received in 2022. The remaining $830 million was received in the first quarter 2023, resulting in a one-time settlement gain of $779 million. The proceeds serve as settlement for property damage, business interruption claims to the date of settlement and as payment in lieu of future business interruption insurance claims.

The Medford incident resulted in an increase in operating income and adjusted EBITDA of $697 million due to a favorable impact of $667 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2023, from the settlement gain of $779 million, offset partially by $112 million of third-party fractionation costs compared with an approximately $30 million unfavorable impact of the 45-day waiting period in the nine months ended September 30, 2022. We expect our cash from operations in the remainder of 2023 and in 2024 to be impacted by incurred costs resulting from the Medford incident for which we no longer receive business interruption proceeds.

Due to market demand and a more favorable completion schedule, we announced plans to construct a new 125 MBbl/d MB-6 NGL fractionator in Mont Belvieu, Texas, instead of rebuilding our Medford NGL fractionator at this time. The MB-6 fractionator will produce purity ethane instead of the ethane/propane mix previously produced at the Medford facility. The 125 MBbl/d capacity of the MB-6 fractionator is expected to be economically comparable to the capacity lost at Medford. In addition, our 125 MBbl/d MB-5 NGL fractionator was completed in April 2023, which has reduced the need for third-party fractionation while the new MB-6 fractionator is being constructed.

Sustainability and Social Responsibility - Through our participation in the 2022 S&P Global Corporate Sustainability Assessment, we qualified for inclusion in the S&P Global Sustainability Yearbook for the third consecutive year, ranking in the top 10% of the Oil and Gas Storage and Transportation industry and being recognized as an Industry Mover. We continue to look for ways to reduce our GHG emissions and utilize more efficient technologies. We are evaluating the development of renewable energy and low-carbon projects, including opportunities that may complement our midstream assets and expertise.

Natural Gas - In our Natural Gas Gathering and Processing segment, processed volumes increased in the third quarter 2023, compared with the third quarter 2022, due primarily to increased producer activity in the Rocky Mountain and Mid-Continent regions.

In our Natural Gas Pipelines segment, as a result of recently completed expansion projects, we fully subscribed an additional 4 Bcf of our existing storage capacity in Oklahoma through 2027, with 90% subscribed through 2029. In addition, we are nearing the completion of the electrification of certain compression assets on Viking to improve the reliability of our operations while lowering our Scope 1 emissions from this equipment. Viking is seeking to recover its investment in the project through a proposed increase in rates filed in July 2023.

NGLs - In our Natural Gas Liquids segment, we benefited from increased volumes in the third quarter 2023, compared with the third quarter 2022, due primarily to increased production across our integrated system.

We have begun initial work, primarily on long lead time components, for two NGL pipeline expansion projects. Activities are underway to complete the looping of the West Texas NGL pipeline, which will more than double our NGL capacity out of the Permian Basin. The full loop is expected to be in service in the first quarter of 2025. We also are taking steps towards expanding the Elk Creek pipeline to 400 MBbl/d to provide capacity for growing volumes in the Rocky Mountain region.

Ethane Economics - Price differentials between ethane and natural gas can cause natural gas processors to recover ethane or leave it in the natural gas stream, known as ethane rejection. As a result of these ethane economics, ethane volumes on our system can fluctuate. Ethane volumes under long-term contracts delivered to our NGL system increased 35 MBbl/d to an average of 490 MBbl/d in the third quarter 2023, compared with an average of 455 MBbl/d in the third quarter 2022, due primarily to changes in ethane extraction economics. We estimate that there are approximately 250 MBbl/d of discretionary ethane, consisting of approximately 150 MBbl/d in the Rocky Mountain region and approximately 100 MBbl/d in the Mid-Continent region, that could be recovered and transported on our system.

Natural Gas Pipelines
Viking compression			Upgrade reliability of certain compressor assets			$95			Fourth Quarter 2023

(a) - Excludes capitalized interest/AFUDC.

Debt Issuances - In August 2023, we completed an underwritten public offering of $5.25 billion senior unsecured notes consisting of $750 million, 5.55% senior notes due 2026; $750 million, 5.65% senior notes due 2028; $500 million, 5.80% senior notes due 2030; $1.5 billion, 6.05% senior notes due 2033; and $1.75 billion, 6.625% senior notes due 2053. The net proceeds, after deducting underwriting discounts, commissions and offering expenses, were $5.2 billion. The net proceeds were used to fund the cash consideration and other costs related to the Magellan Acquisition.

Debt Repayments - In June 2023, we redeemed our $500 million, 7.5% senior notes due September 2023 at 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, with cash on hand.

In February 2023, we redeemed our $425 million, 5.0% senior notes due September 2023 at 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, with cash on hand.

Dividends - In February, May and August 2023, we paid a quarterly common stock dividend of $0.955 per share ($3.82 per share on an annualized basis), an increase of 2% compared with the same quarters in the prior year. Our dividend growth is due primarily to the increase in cash flows resulting from the growth of our operations. We declared a quarterly common stock dividend of $0.955 per share ($3.82 per share on an annualized basis) in October 2023. The quarterly common stock dividend will be paid November 14, 2023, to shareholders of record at the close of business on November 1, 2023.

Goodwill Impairment Review - We assess our goodwill for impairment at least annually as of July 1, unless events or changes in circumstances indicate an impairment may have occurred before that time. At July 1, 2023, we assessed qualitative factors to determine whether it was more likely than not that the fair value of each of our reporting units with goodwill was less than its carrying amount. After assessing qualitative factors (including macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations, costs and overall financial performance), we determined that it was more likely than not that the fair value of the Natural Gas Pipelines and Natural Gas Liquids reporting units was not less than their respective carrying value, that no further testing was necessary, and that goodwill was not considered impaired.

FINANCIAL RESULTS AND OPERATING INFORMATION

How We Evaluate Our Operations

Management uses a variety of financial and operating metrics to analyze our performance. Our consolidated financial metrics include: (1) operating income; (2) net income; (3) diluted EPS; and (4) adjusted EBITDA. We evaluate segment operating results using adjusted EBITDA and our operating metrics, which include various volume and rate statistics that are relevant for the respective segment. These operating metrics allow investors to analyze the various components of segment financial results in terms of volumes and rate/price. Management uses these metrics to analyze historical segment financial results and as the key inputs for forecasting and budgeting segment financial results. For additional information on our operating metrics, see the respective segment subsections of this “Financial Results and Operating Information” section.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures - Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure of our financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income adjusted for interest expense, depreciation and amortization, noncash impairment charges, income taxes, allowance for equity funds used during construction, noncash compensation expense and certain other noncash items. We believe this non-GAAP financial measure is useful to investors because it and similar measures are used by many

32

---

companies in our industry as a measurement of financial performance and is commonly employed by financial analysts and others to evaluate our financial performance and to compare financial performance among companies in our industry. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered an alternative to net income, EPS or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP. Additionally, this calculation may not be comparable with similarly titled measures of other companies.

See reconciliation of net income to adjusted EBITDA in the “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section.

Changes in commodity prices and sales volumes affect both revenues and cost of sales and fuel in our Consolidated Statements of Income and, therefore, the impact is largely offset between these line items.

Operating income increased $39 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared with the same period in 2022, primarily as a result of the following:

•Natural Gas Liquids - an increase of $76 million in exchange services due primarily to higher volumes across our system, and an increase of $67 million in optimization and marketing due primarily to higher earnings on sales of Purity NGLs held in inventory;

•Natural Gas Gathering and Processing - an increase of $54 million from higher volumes in the Rocky Mountain and Mid-Continent regions, offset partially by $14 million due primarily to lower realized NGL prices, net of hedging;

•Refined Products and Crude - an increase due to the impact of the Magellan Acquisition for the period of September 25, 2023, through September 30, 2023; and

•Natural Gas Pipelines - an increase of $9 million in transportation and storage services due primarily to higher firm and interruptible transportation volumes and higher firm storage volumes; offset by

•Consolidated Operating and Transaction Costs - an increase of $189 million due primarily to transaction costs related to the Magellan Acquisition, higher employee-related costs and outside services due to the growth of our operations and higher property insurance premiums.

Operating income increased $922 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared with the same period in 2022, primarily as a result of the following:

•Natural Gas Liquids - an increase of $697 million related to the Medford incident and an increase of $168 million in exchange services;

33

---

•Natural Gas Gathering and Processing - an increase of $151 million from higher volumes in the Rocky Mountain and Mid-Continent regions and an increase of $51 million due primarily to higher average fee rates;

•Refined Products and Crude - an increase due to the impact of the Magellan Acquisition for the period of September 25, 2023, through September 30, 2023; and

•Natural Gas Pipelines - an increase of $47 million in transportation and storage services due primarily to higher storage rates, higher firm and interruptible transportation volumes and higher short-term storage activity; offset by

•Consolidated Operating, Depreciation and Transaction Costs - an increase of $327 million due primarily to transaction costs related to the Magellan Acquisition, higher employee-related costs, outside services and depreciation expense due primarily to the growth of our operations, and higher property insurance premiums.

Net income and diluted EPS increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared with the same periods in 2022, due primarily to the items discussed above, higher interest income due to both higher cash balances and higher interest rates, and higher equity in net earnings from investments, with the nine months ended September 30, 2023 favorably impacted by the mark-to-market of investments associated with certain benefit plan investments. These increases were offset partially by higher income taxes and higher interest expense due to both higher debt balances and by transaction costs included in interest expense related to bridge facility commitment fees.

Capital expenditures increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared with the same periods in 2022, due primarily to our growth projects.

Additional information regarding our financial results and operating information is provided in the following discussion for each of our segments.

Natural Gas Gathering and Processing

Overview - Our Natural Gas Gathering and Processing segment provides midstream services to producers in North Dakota, Montana, Wyoming, Kansas and Oklahoma. Raw natural gas is typically gathered at the wellhead, compressed and transported through pipelines to our processing facilities. Most raw natural gas produced at the wellhead also contains a mixture of condensate and NGL components, including ethane, propane, iso-butane, normal butane and natural gasoline. Processed natural gas, usually referred to as residue natural gas, is then recompressed and delivered to natural gas pipelines, storage facilities and end users. The NGLs separated from the raw natural gas are sold and delivered through NGL pipelines to fractionation facilities for further processing.

Our Natural Gas Gathering and Processing segment’s earnings are primarily fee-based, but we have some direct commodity price exposure related primarily to fee with POP contracts. Under certain fee with POP contracts, our contractual fees and POP percentage may increase or decrease if production volumes, delivery pressures or commodity prices change relative to specified thresholds. To mitigate the impact of this commodity price exposure, we have hedged a significant portion of our Natural Gas Gathering and Processing segment’s commodity price risk for the remainder of 2023 and into 2024. This segment has substantial long-term acreage dedications in some of the most productive areas of the Williston Basin and Mid-Continent region, which helps to mitigate long-term volumetric risk.

Capital Projects - Our Natural Gas Gathering and Processing segment has invested in growth projects in NGL-rich areas in the Williston Basin. See “Capital Projects” in the “Recent Developments” section for more information on our capital projects.

For a discussion of our capital expenditure financing, see “Capital Expenditures” in the “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section.

See reconciliation of net income to adjusted EBITDA in the “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section.

Changes in commodity prices and sales volumes affect both revenues and cost of sales and fuel and, therefore, the impact is largely offset between these line items.

Adjusted EBITDA increased $18 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared with the same period in 2022, primarily as a result of the following:

•an increase of $54 million from higher volumes due primarily to increased producer activity in the Rocky Mountain and Mid-Continent regions; offset by

•an increase of $19 million in operating costs due primarily to higher employee-related costs, outside services and materials and supplies expense due primarily to the growth of our operations and higher property insurance premiums; and

•a decrease of $14 million due primarily to lower realized NGL prices, net of hedging.

Adjusted EBITDA increased $148 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared with the same period in 2022, primarily as a result of the following:

•an increase of $151 million from higher volumes due primarily to increased producer activity in the Rocky Mountain and Mid-Continent regions, and the impact of severe weather in the Rocky Mountain region in the second quarter 2022; and

•an increase of $51 million due primarily to higher average fee rates, offset partially by lower realized NGL prices, net of hedging; offset by

•an increase of $47 million in operating costs due primarily to higher employee-related costs, outside services and materials and supplies expense due primarily to the growth of our operations and higher property insurance premiums.

Capital expenditures increased for the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared with the same period in 2022, due primarily to our routine growth projects. Capital expenditures decreased for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared with the same period in 2022, due primarily to our Demicks Lake III project completed in the first quarter 2023.

Our natural gas processed volumes increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared with the same periods in 2022, due primarily to increased producer activity in the Rocky Mountain and Mid-Continent regions, and the impact of severe weather in the Rocky Mountain region in the second quarter 2022.

Our average fee rate increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared with the same period in 2022, due primarily to inflation-based escalators in our contracts, and for certain fee with POP contracts, our contractual fees increased due to production volumes, delivery pressures or commodity prices relative to specified contractual thresholds.

Natural Gas Liquids

Overview - Our Natural Gas Liquids segment owns and operates facilities that gather, fractionate, treat and distribute NGLs and store Purity NGLs, primarily in Oklahoma, Kansas, Texas, New Mexico and the Rocky Mountain region, which includes the Williston, Powder River and DJ Basins. We provide midstream services to producers of NGLs and deliver those products to the two primary market centers: one in the Mid-Continent in Conway, Kansas, and the other in the Gulf Coast in Mont Belvieu, Texas. We own or have an ownership interest in FERC-regulated NGL gathering and distribution pipelines in Oklahoma, Kansas, Texas, New Mexico, Montana, North Dakota, Wyoming and Colorado, and terminal and storage facilities in Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa and Illinois. We have a 50% ownership interest in Overland Pass, which operates an interstate NGL pipeline originating in Wyoming and Colorado and terminating in Kansas. The majority of the pipeline-connected natural gas processing plants in the Williston Basin, Oklahoma, Kansas and the Texas Panhandle are connected to our NGL gathering systems. We lease rail cars and own and operate truck- and rail-loading and -unloading facilities connected to our NGL fractionation, storage and pipeline assets. We also own FERC-regulated NGL distribution pipelines in Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, Illinois and Indiana that connect our Mid-Continent assets with Midwest markets, including Chicago, Illinois. A portion of our ONEOK North System transports Refined Products, including unleaded gasoline and diesel.

Capital Projects - Our Natural Gas Liquids segment invests in growth projects to transport, fractionate, store and deliver to market centers NGL supply from shale and other resource development areas. Our growth strategy is focused around connecting diversified supply basins from the Rocky Mountain region through the Mid-Continent region and the Permian Basin with demand for Purity NGLs from the petrochemical and refining industries and NGL exports in the Gulf Coast. We proactively monitor lead times on materials and equipment used in constructing capital projects, and we enter into supply agreements for long-lead items for potential projects to plan for future growth. See “Capital Projects” in the “Recent Developments” section for more information on our capital projects.

In the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we connected one third-party natural gas processing plant in the Permian Basin and one affiliate natural gas processing plant in the Rocky Mountain region.

For a discussion of our capital expenditure financing, see “Capital Expenditures” in the “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section.

•an increase of $67 million in optimization and marketing due primarily to higher earnings on sales of Purity NGLs held in inventory; and

•an increase of $8 million due to higher transportation and storage revenue; offset by

•an increase of $22 million in operating costs due primarily to higher employee-related costs and higher outside services due to the growth of our operations, and higher property insurance premiums; and

•a decrease of $5 million related to the Medford incident, due to $35 million in third-party fractionation costs in 2023 compared with an approximately $30 million unfavorable impact of the 45-day waiting period in 2022.

Adjusted EBITDA increased $895 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared with the same period in 2022, primarily as a result of the following:

•an increase of $697 million related to the Medford incident, due to a favorable impact of $667 million in 2023 from the settlement gain of $779 million, offset partially by $112 million of third-party fractionation costs, compared with an approximately $30 million unfavorable impact of the 45-day waiting period in 2022;

•an increase of $168 million in exchange services due primarily to higher volumes in the Rocky Mountain region and Permian Basin, offset partially by narrower commodity price differentials and lower related volumes;

•an increase of $60 million in optimization and marketing due primarily to higher earnings on sales of Purity NGLs held in inventory;

•an increase of $16 million due to higher transportation and storage revenue; and

•an increase of $14 million in equity in net earnings from investments due primarily to higher volumes delivered to the Overland Pass pipeline; offset by

•an increase of $62 million in operating costs due primarily to higher employee-related costs and higher outside services due to the growth of our operations, and higher property insurance premiums.

Capital expenditures increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared with the same periods in 2022, due primarily to growth projects.

			Three Months Ended												Nine Months Ended

Operating Information			2023						2022						2023						2022
Raw feed throughput (MBbl/d) (a)			1,413						1,278						1,357						1,252
Average Conway-to-Mont Belvieu OPIS price differential - ethane in ethane/propane mix ($/gallon)			$	0.08					$	0.03					$	0.04					$	0.04

(a) - Represents physical raw feed volumes for which we provide transportation and/or fractionation services.

We generally expect ethane volumes to increase or decrease with corresponding increases or decreases in overall NGL production. However, ethane volumes may experience growth or decline greater than corresponding growth or decline in overall NGL production due to ethane economics causing producers to recover or reject ethane.

Volumes increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared with the same periods in 2022, due primarily to increased production in the Permian Basin and Rocky Mountain region, offset partially by lower ethane volumes in the Rocky Mountain region. The three months ended September 30, 2023, also benefited from increased ethane volumes in the Mid-Continent region.

Natural Gas Pipelines

Overview - In our Natural Gas Pipelines segment, our assets are connected to key supply areas and demand centers, including export markets in Mexico via Roadrunner and supply areas in Canada and the United States via our interstate and intrastate natural gas pipelines and Northern Border, which enable us to provide essential natural gas transportation and storage services. Continued demand from local distribution companies, electric-generation facilities and large industrial companies supported low-cost expansions that position us well to provide additional services to our customers when needed.

37

---

Capital Projects - Our Natural Gas Pipelines segment invests in growth projects that provide transportation and storage services to end users. In December 2022, our Saguaro Connector Pipeline LLC subsidiary filed a Presidential Permit application with the FERC to construct and operate new international border-crossing facilities at the U.S. and Mexico border. The proposed border facilities would connect upstream with a potential intrastate pipeline, the Saguaro Connector Pipeline, which would be owned and operated by ONEOK. Additionally, the proposed border facilities would connect at the international boundary with a new pipeline under development in Mexico for delivery to a liquefied natural gas export facility on the west coast of Mexico. The final investment decision on the pipeline is expected by year-end 2023.

See “Capital Projects” in the “Recent Developments” section for more information on our capital projects.

For a discussion of our capital expenditure financing, see “Capital Expenditures” in the “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section.

Selected Financial Results and Operating Information - The following tables set forth certain selected financial results and operating information for our Natural Gas Pipelines segment for the periods indicated:

See reconciliation of net income to adjusted EBITDA in the “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section.

Adjusted EBITDA increased $8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared with the same period in 2022, due primarily to an increase of $9 million in transportation and storage services due primarily to higher firm and interruptible transportation and higher firm storage volumes.

Adjusted EBITDA increased $39 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared with the same period in 2022, primarily as a result of the following:

•an increase of $47 million in transportation and storage services due primarily to higher storage rates on renegotiated contracts, higher firm and interruptible transportation volumes and higher short-term storage activity; offset by

•an increase of $18 million in operating costs due primarily to higher employee-related costs and outside services due to timing of maintenance activities and the growth of our operations.

Capital expenditures increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared with the same periods in 2022, due primarily to growth projects, including the Viking compression project.

in February 2023, which resulted in a reduction of rates starting in April 2023. The reduced rates did not have a material impact on our results of operations.

In July 2023, Viking filed a proposed increase in rates pursuant to Section 4 of the Natural Gas Act with the FERC. The FERC is currently reviewing the filing. While the ultimate outcome of the filing cannot be predicted, we do not expect it to materially impact our results of operations.

Refined Products and Crude

Overview - Our Refined Products and Crude segment is principally engaged in the transportation, storage and distribution of Refined Products, NGLs and crude oil, primarily throughout the central United States. Products transported on our Refined Products pipeline system include gasoline, distillates, aviation fuel and certain NGLs. Shipments originate on our Refined Products pipeline system from direct connections to refineries or through interconnections with other pipelines or terminals for transportation and ultimate distribution to retail fueling stations, convenience stores, travel centers, railroads, airports and other end users. Our crude oil assets are strategically located to serve crude oil supply, trading and demand centers. Revenue is generated primarily through transportation tariffs on our pipelines, storage fees from our terminals, pipeline capacity fees and tolling fees from our condensate splitter. In addition, we earn revenue for terminalling and other services.

Property - Our Refined Products and Crude segment includes the following wholly owned assets:

•9,800 miles of Refined Product pipeline system beginning in the Texas Gulf coast and covering a 15-state area across the central U.S;

•54 Refined Product terminals with 47 MMBbl of storage capacity, including one marine storage terminal along the Houston Ship Channel;

•1,000 miles of crude oil pipelines, including the 450-mile Longhorn pipeline, with operating capacity of

275 MBbl/d from the Permian Basin to Houston, Texas, approximately 400 miles of pipeline in Kansas and

Oklahoma and an additional 100 miles in Texas;

•crude oil storage, primarily located in East Houston, Cushing and Corpus Christi, with combined storage capacity of 31 MMBbl; and

•one condensate splitter in Corpus Christi with 50 MBbl/d of capacity.

Unconsolidated Affiliates - Our Refined Products and Crude segment has the following unconsolidated affiliates:

•a 30% ownership interest in BridgeTex, which owns an approximately 400-mile crude oil pipeline with transport capacity of up to 440 MBbl/d that connects Permian Basin crude oil to our East Houston terminal;

•a 30% ownership interest in Saddlehorn, which owns an undivided joint interest in an approximately 600-mile pipeline, with transport capacity of up to 290 MBbl/d of crude oil from the DJ Basin and Rocky Mountain region to storage facilities in Cushing, including our Cushing terminal; and

•a 25% ownership in MVP, which owns a Refined Products marine storage terminal along the Houston Ship Channel in Pasadena, Texas, including more than 5 MMBbl of storage, two ship docks and truck loading facilities.

Our other unconsolidated affiliates in this segment are not material.

Selected Financial Results and Operating Information - Financial results and operating information for our Refined Products and Crude segment for the period subsequent to the closing of the Magellan Acquisition were not material. Adjusted EBITDA was $40 million, which includes a $9 million mark-to-market gain on commodity derivative positions settling in the fourth quarter 2023.

Due to the Magellan Acquisition, commodity inventory balances within our Refined Products and Crude segment were recorded at market value, which was an approximate $50 million increase over the pre-acquisition value. We expect to realize the majority of the related unfavorable impact of this acquisition adjustment in the fourth quarter 2023, as the acquired inventory is sold.

CONTINGENCIES

See Note K of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report for discussion of regulatory and environmental matters.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

General - Our primary sources of cash inflows are operating cash flows, proceeds from our commercial paper program and our $2.5 Billion Credit Agreement, debt issuances and the issuance of common stock for our liquidity and capital resources requirements.

On January 9, 2023, we reached an agreement with our insurers to settle all claims for physical damage and business interruption related to the Medford incident. Under the terms of the settlement agreement, we agreed to resolve the claims for total insurance payments of $930 million, $100 million of which was received in 2022. The remaining $830 million was received in the first quarter 2023. The proceeds serve as settlement for property damage, business interruption claims to the date of settlement and as payment in lieu of future business interruption insurance claims. We expect our cash from operations in the remainder of 2023 and in 2024 to be impacted by incurred costs resulting from the Medford incident for which we no longer receive business interruption proceeds.

We expect our sources of cash inflows to provide sufficient resources to finance our operations, quarterly cash dividends, capital expenditures, maturities of long-term debt and contributions to unconsolidated affiliates. We believe we have sufficient liquidity due to our $2.5 Billion Credit Agreement, which expires in June 2027, and access to $1.0 billion available through our “at-the-market” equity program. As of the date of this report, no shares have been sold through our “at-the-market” equity program.

Cash Management - At September 30, 2023, we had $284 million of cash and cash equivalents. Our cash balance is composed primarily of highly liquid government money market funds and deposits fully insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

40

---

We use a centralized cash management program that concentrates the cash assets of our nonguarantor operating subsidiaries in joint accounts for the purposes of providing financial flexibility and lowering the cost of borrowing, transaction costs and bank fees. Our centralized cash management program provides that funds in excess of the daily needs of our operating subsidiaries are concentrated, consolidated or otherwise made available for use by other entities within our consolidated group. Our operating subsidiaries participate in this program to the extent they are permitted pursuant to FERC regulations or their operating agreements. Under the cash management program, depending on whether a participating subsidiary has short-term cash surpluses or cash requirements, we provide cash to the subsidiary or the subsidiary provides cash to us.

Guarantees - We guarantee certain debt securities of ONEOK Partners and Magellan, and ONEOK Partners, Magellan and the Intermediate Partnership guarantee certain of our debt securities. The guarantees in place for our, ONEOK Partners’ and Magellan’s indebtedness are full, irrevocable, unconditional and absolute joint and several guarantees to the holders of each series of outstanding securities. Liabilities under the guarantees rank equally in right of payment with all existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness. The Intermediate Partnership holds all of ONEOK Partners’ interests and equity in its subsidiaries, which are nonguarantors, and substantially all the assets and operations reside with nonguarantor operating subsidiaries. Magellan holds interests in its subsidiaries, which are nonguarantors, and substantially all the assets and operations reside with nonguarantor operating subsidiaries. Therefore, as allowed under Rule 13-01, we have excluded the summarized financial information for each issuer and guarantor as the combined financial information of the subsidiary issuers and parent guarantor, excluding our ownership of all the interests in ONEOK Partners and Magellan, reflect no material assets, liabilities or results of operations, apart from the guaranteed indebtedness. For additional information on our, ONEOK Partners’ and Magellan’s indebtedness, please see Note F of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report.

Short-term Liquidity - Our principal sources of short-term liquidity consist of cash generated from operating activities, distributions received from our equity-method investments, proceeds from our commercial paper program and our $2.5 Billion Credit Agreement. As of September 30, 2023, we had no borrowings under our $2.5 Billion Credit Agreement and we are in compliance with all covenants.

As of September 30, 2023, we had a working capital deficit of $110 million (defined as current assets less current liabilities). Generally, our working capital is influenced by several factors, including, among other things: (i) the timing of (a) debt and equity issuances, (b) the funding of capital expenditures, (c) scheduled debt payments, and (d) accounts receivable and payable; and (ii) the volume and cost of inventory and commodity imbalances. We may have working capital deficits in future periods as we continue to repay long-term debt. We do not expect a working capital deficit of this nature to have a material adverse impact to our cash flows or operations.

For additional information on our $2.5 Billion Credit Agreement, see Note F of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report.

Long-term Financing - In addition to our principal sources of short-term liquidity discussed above, we expect to fund our longer-term financing requirements by issuing long-term notes, as needed. Other options to obtain financing include, but are not limited to, issuing common stock, loans from financial institutions, issuance of convertible debt securities or preferred equity securities, asset securitization and the sale and lease-back of facilities.

Debt Issuances - In August 2023, we completed an underwritten public offering of $5.25 billion senior unsecured notes consisting of $750 million, 5.55% senior notes due 2026; $750 million, 5.65% senior notes due 2028; $500 million, 5.80% senior notes due 2030; $1.5 billion, 6.05% senior notes due 2033; and $1.75 billion, 6.625% senior notes due 2053. The net proceeds, after deducting underwriting discounts, commissions and offering expenses, were $5.2 billion. The net proceeds were used to fund the cash consideration and other costs related to the Magellan Acquisition. In connection with the underwritten public offering, we terminated the undrawn commitment letter for the $5.25 billion unsecured 364-day bridge loan facility.

Debt Repayments - In June 2023, we redeemed our $500 million, 7.5% senior notes due September 2023 at 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, with cash on hand.

In June 2023, we made an equity contribution of $105 million to Roadrunner, which, in combination with an equal contribution from our joint venture partner, was used to repay Roadrunner’s outstanding debt.

In February 2023, we redeemed our $425 million, 5.0% senior notes due September 2023 at 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, with cash on hand.

41

---

For additional information on our long-term debt, see Note F of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report.

Equity Issuances - On September 25, 2023, we completed the previously announced agreement to acquire all the outstanding common units of Magellan in a cash-and-stock transaction. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, each common unit of Magellan was exchanged for a fixed ratio of 0.667 shares of ONEOK common stock and $25.00 of cash, for a total consideration of $14.1 billion. A total of approximately 135 million shares of common stock were issued, with a fair value of approximately $9.0 billion as of the closing date of the Magellan Acquisition.

Capital Expenditures - We classify expenditures that are expected to generate additional revenue, return on investment or significant operating or environmental efficiencies as growth capital expenditures. Maintenance capital expenditures are those capital expenditures required to maintain our existing assets and operations and do not generate additional revenues. Maintenance capital expenditures are made to replace partially or fully depreciated assets, to maintain the existing operating capacity of our assets and to extend their useful lives. We proactively monitor lead times on materials and equipment used in constructing capital projects, and we enter into supply agreements for long-lead items for potential projects to plan for future growth. Our capital expenditures are financed typically through operating cash flows and short- and long-term debt.

Capital expenditures, excluding AFUDC, were $992 million and $886 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

We expect total capital expenditures, excluding AFUDC and capitalized interest, of $1.475-$1.675 billion in 2023. This range excludes the impact of the Magellan Acquisition.

Credit Ratings - Our long-term debt credit ratings as of October 23, 2023, are shown in the table below:

Rating Agency			Long-Term Rating			Short-Term Rating			Outlook
Moody’s			Baa2			Prime-2			Stable
S&P			BBB			A-2			Stable
Fitch (a)			BBB			F2			Stable

(a) Rating does not apply to Magellan’s long-term debt as Fitch does not currently rate these notes.

Our credit ratings, which are investment grade, may be affected by our leverage, liquidity, credit profile or potential transactions. Subsequent to the Magellan Acquisition, Moody’s and S&P updated the rating on Magellan’s long-term debt to match the ratings on ONEOK’s long-term debt. In April 2023, Moody’s upgraded the rating on our long-term debt to Baa2 from Baa3, the rating on our short-term debt to Prime-2 from Prime-3 and changed the outlook to stable from positive. The most common criteria for assessment of our credit ratings are the debt-to-EBITDA ratio, interest coverage, business risk profile and liquidity. If our credit ratings were downgraded, our cost to borrow funds under our $2.5 Billion Credit Agreement could increase and a potential loss of access to the commercial paper market could occur. In the event that we are unable to borrow funds under our commercial paper program and there has not been a material adverse change in our business, we would continue to have access to our $2.5 Billion Credit Agreement, which expires in 2027. An adverse credit rating change alone is not a default under our $2.5 Billion Credit Agreement.

In the normal course of business, our counterparties provide us with secured and unsecured credit. In the event of a downgrade in our credit ratings or a significant change in our counterparties’ evaluation of our creditworthiness, we could be required to provide additional collateral in the form of cash, letters of credit or other negotiable instruments as a condition of continuing to conduct business with such counterparties. We may be required to fund margin requirements with our counterparties with cash, letters of credit or other negotiable instruments.

Dividends - Holders of our common stock share equally in any common stock dividends declared by our Board of Directors, subject to the rights of the holders of outstanding preferred stock. In February, May and August 2023, we paid a common stock dividend of $0.955 per share ($3.82 per share on an annualized basis), an increase of 2% compared with the same quarters in the prior year. A common stock dividend of $0.955 per share was declared in October 2023 for the shareholders of record at the close of business on November 1, 2023, payable November 14, 2023.

Our Series E Preferred Stock pays quarterly dividends on each share of Series E Preferred Stock, when, as and if declared by our Board of Directors, at a rate of 5.5% per year. We paid dividends for the Series E Preferred Stock of $0.3 million in February, May and August 2023. Dividends totaling $0.3 million were declared in October 2023 for the Series E Preferred Stock and are payable November 14, 2023.

42

---

For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, our cash flows from operations exceeded dividends paid by $1.6 billion, due in part to the insurance proceeds received from the Medford settlement in the first quarter. We expect our cash flows from operations to continue to sufficiently fund our cash dividends. To the extent operating cash flows are not sufficient to fund our dividends, we may utilize cash on hand from other sources of short- and long-term liquidity to fund a portion of our dividends.

CASH FLOW ANALYSIS

We use the indirect method to prepare our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Under this method, we reconcile net income to cash flows provided by operating activities by adjusting net income for those items that affect net income but do not result in actual cash receipts or payments during the period and for operating cash items that do not impact net income. These reconciling items can include depreciation and amortization, deferred income taxes, impairment charges, allowance for equity funds used during construction, gain or loss on sale of assets, net undistributed earnings from equity-method investments, share-based compensation expense, other amounts and changes in our assets and liabilities not classified as investing or financing activities.

The following table sets forth the changes in cash flows by operating, investing and financing activities for the periods indicated:

															Variances
			Nine Months Ended												2023 vs. 2022
			September 30,												$ Increase (Decrease) in Cash
			2023						2022
			(Millions of dollars)
Total cash provided by (used in):
Operating activities			$	2,913					$	1,866					$	1,047
Investing activities			(5,759)						(864)						(4,895)
Financing activities			2,910						(1,126)						4,036
Change in cash and cash equivalents			64						(124)						188
Cash and cash equivalents at beginning of period			220						146						74
Cash and cash equivalents at end of period			$	284					$	22					$	262

Operating Cash Flows - Operating cash flows are affected by earnings from our business activities and changes in our operating assets and liabilities. Changes in commodity prices and demand for our services or products, whether because of general economic conditions, changes in supply, changes in demand for the end products that are made with our products or increased competition from other service providers, could affect our earnings and operating cash flows. Our operating cash flows can also be impacted by changes in our inventory balances, which are driven primarily by commodity prices, supply, demand and the operation of our assets.

Cash flows from operating activities, before changes in operating assets and liabilities for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, increased $787 million compared with the same period in 2022, due primarily to insurance proceeds received from the Medford settlement, and higher operating income resulting from higher exchange services in our Natural Gas Liquids segment, higher volumes from increased production and higher average fee rates in our Natural Gas Gathering and Processing segment, higher transportation and storage services in our Natural Gas Pipelines segment, and an increase due to the impact of the Magellan Acquisition in our Refined Products and Crude segment, as discussed in “Financial Results and Operating Information.”

The changes in operating assets and liabilities increased operating cash flows $30 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared with a decrease of $230 million for the same period in 2022. This change is due primarily to changes in accounts receivable resulting from the timing of receipt of cash from counterparties and from inventory, both of which vary from period to period, and with changes in commodity prices; offset partially by changes in accounts payable, which also vary from period to period with changes in commodity prices, and from the timing of payments to vendors, suppliers and other third parties.

Investing Cash Flows - Cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, increased $4.9 billion, compared with the same period in 2022, due primarily to the $5.0 billion of cash paid for the Magellan Acquisition, net of cash received, offset partially by insurance proceeds received from the Medford settlement.

43

---

Financing Cash Flows - Cash from financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, increased $4.0 billion, compared with the same period in 2022, due primarily to the issuance of $5.25 billion senior unsecured notes associated with the Magellan Acquisition, offset partially by short-term borrowings in 2022.

REGULATORY, ENVIRONMENTAL AND SAFETY MATTERS

Information about our regulatory, environmental and safety matters can be found in “Regulatory, Environmental and Safety Matters” under Part I, Item 1, Business, in our Annual Report.

IMPACT OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

See Note A of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report for discussion of new accounting standards.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

The preparation of our Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures in accordance with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions with respect to values or conditions that cannot be known with certainty that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Consolidated Financial Statements. These estimates and assumptions also affect the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Although we believe these estimates and assumptions are reasonable, actual results could differ from our estimates.

Fair Value Estimates in Business Combination Accounting - Business combination accounting requires that assets and liabilities be recorded at their estimated fair value in connection with the initial recognition of the transaction. Estimating the fair value of assets and liabilities in connection with business combination accounting requires management to make estimates, assumptions and judgments, and in some cases management may also utilize third-party specialists to assist and advise on those estimates.

In order to estimate the fair value of acquired assets and assumed liabilities, we utilized widely accepted valuation techniques that included market and discounted cash flow approaches. These approaches utilize assumptions that include, but are not limited to, estimated future cash flows, discount rates applied to estimated future cash flows, and estimated asset replacement costs. While we believe we have made reasonable assumptions to estimate the fair value, these assumptions are inherently uncertain.

The purchase price allocation recorded in a business combination may change during the measurement period, which is a period not to exceed one year from the date of acquisition, as additional information about conditions existing at the acquisition date becomes available.

Additional information about our critical accounting estimates is included under Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates,” in our Annual Report.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report contains forward-looking statements in reliance on the safe harbor protections of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Exchange Act, which involve substantial risk and uncertainties. The forward-looking statements relate to our anticipated financial performance (including projected operating income, net income, capital expenditures, cash flows and projected levels of dividends), liquidity, management’s plans and objectives for our future capital projects and other future operations (including plans to construct additional natural gas and NGL pipelines, processing and fractionation facilities and related cost estimates), our business prospects, the outcome of regulatory and legal proceedings, market conditions and other matters. The following discussion is intended to identify important factors that could cause future outcomes to differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements.

Forward-looking statements and other statements in this Quarterly Report regarding our environmental, social and other sustainability targets, plans and goals are not an indication that these statements are required to be disclosed in our filings with the SEC, or that we will continue to make similar statements in the same extent or manner in future filings. In addition, historical, current and forward-looking environmental, social and sustainability-related statements may be based on standards and processes for measuring progress that are still developing and that continue to evolve, and assumptions that are subject to change in the future.

ITEM 3.QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

COMMODITY PRICE RISK

As part of our hedging strategy, we use commodity derivative financial instruments and physical-forward contracts described in Note E of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report to reduce the impact of near-term price fluctuations of natural gas, NGLs, Refined Products, condensate and crude oil.

Although our businesses are primarily fee-based, in our Natural Gas Gathering and Processing segment, we are exposed to commodity price risk as a result of retaining a portion of the commodity sales proceeds associated with our fee with POP contracts. Under certain fee with POP contracts, our contractual fees and POP percentage may increase or decrease if production volumes, delivery pressures or commodity prices change relative to specified thresholds. We are exposed to basis risk between the various production and market locations where we buy and sell commodities.

As a result of the Magellan Acquisition, in our Refined Products and Crude segment we are exposed to commodity price risk from our liquids blending, fractionation and marketing activities, as well as product retained during the operations of our pipelines and terminals.

Except for the Magellan Acquisition, there have been no material changes in market risk exposures that would affect the quantitative and qualitative disclosures presented as of December 31, 2022, in Part II, Item 7A in our Annual Report.

The following table presents the effect a hypothetical 10% change in the underlying commodity prices would have on the estimated fair value of our commodity derivative instruments as of the dates indicated:

Commodity Contracts			September 30, 2023						December 31, 2022
			(Millions of dollars)
Refined Products, crude oil and NGLs			$	88					$	35
Natural gas			7						18
Total change in estimated fair value of commodity contracts			$	95					$	53

Our sensitivity analysis represents an estimate of the reasonably possible gains and losses that would be recognized on our commodity derivative contracts assuming hypothetical movements in future market prices and is not necessarily indicative of actual results that may occur. Actual gains and losses may differ from estimates due to actual fluctuations in market prices, as well as changes in our commodity derivative portfolio during the year.

Natural gas (BBtu/d) - NYMEX and basis			50.4						$	4.52		/ MMBtu						41%

INTEREST-RATE RISK

We may manage interest-rate risk through the use of fixed-rate debt, floating-rate debt, Treasury locks and interest-rate swaps. Treasury locks are agreements to pay the difference between the benchmark Treasury rate and the rate that is designated in the terms of the agreement. In the third quarter 2023, we settled all of our $1.1 billion Treasury locks related to our underwritten public offering of $5.25 billion senior unsecured notes associated with the Magellan Acquisition. At September 30, 2023, we had no outstanding Treasury lock agreements.

Interest-rate swaps are agreements to exchange interest payments at some future point based on specified notional amounts. In the third quarter 2023, we settled all of our $0.4 billion forward-starting interest-rate swaps related to our underwritten public offerings of $5.25 billion senior unsecured notes associated with the Magellan Acquisition. At September 30, 2023, we had no outstanding forward-starting interest-rate swaps.

See Note E of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report for more information on our hedging activities.

ITEM 4.CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Quarterly Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures - Our Chief Executive Officer (Principal Executive Officer) and Chief Financial Officer (Principal Financial Officer) have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report based on the evaluation of the controls and procedures required by Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b) of the Exchange Act.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting - On September 25, 2023, we completed the Magellan Acquisition. As part of the ongoing integration of the acquisition, we are in the process of incorporating the controls and related procedures.

ITEM 1A.RISK FACTORS

Reduced volatility in energy prices or new government regulations could discourage our storage customers from holding positions in Refined Products and crude oil, which could adversely affect our business.

The demand for the storage services acquired as part of the Magellan Acquisition has resulted in part from customers’ desire to have the ability to take advantage of profit opportunities created by the volatility in prices of Refined Products and crude oil. Periods of prolonged stability or declines in Refined Product and crude oil prices could reduce demand for our storage services. If federal, state or international regulations are passed that discourage our customers from storing these commodities, demand for our storage services could decrease, in which case we may be unable to identify customers willing to contract for such services or be forced to reduce the rates we charge for our services. The realization of any of these risks could adversely affect our business.

We depend on producers, gathering systems, refineries and pipelines owned and operated by others to supply our assets in our Refined Products and Crude segment, and any closures, interruptions or reduced activity levels at these facilities may adversely affect our business.

Following the Magellan Acquisition, we depend on crude oil production and on connections with gathering systems, refineries and pipelines owned and operated by third parties to supply our assets in our Refined Products and Crude segment. We cannot control or predict the amount of crude oil that will be delivered to us by the gathering systems and pipelines that supply our crude oil assets, nor can we control or predict the output of refineries that supply our Refined Products pipelines and terminals. Changes in the quality or quantity of this crude oil production, outages at these refineries or reduced or interrupted throughput on these gathering systems or pipelines due to weather-related or other natural causes, competitive forces, testing, line repair, damage, reduced operating pressures or other causes could reduce shipments on our pipelines or result in our being unable to receive products at or deliver products from our terminals or receive products for processing at our condensate splitter, any of which could adversely affect our business.

Refineries that supply or are supplied by our facilities are subject to regulatory developments, including but not limited to low carbon fuel standards, regulations regarding fuel specifications, plant emissions and safety and security requirements that could significantly increase the cost of their operations and reduce their operating margins. In addition, the profitability of the refineries that supply our facilities is subject to regional and global supply and demand dynamics that are difficult to predict. A period of sustained weak demand or increased costs could make refining uneconomic for some refineries, including those directly or indirectly connected to our Refined Products and crude oil pipelines. The closure of a refinery that delivers product to or receives crude oil from our pipelines could reduce the volumes we transport. Further, the closure of these or other refineries could result in our customers electing to store and distribute Refined Products and crude oil through their proprietary terminals, which could result in a reduction in demand for our storage services.

Rate regulation, challenges by shippers of the rates we charge for transportation on our pipelines or changes in the jurisdictional characterization of our assets or activities by federal, state or local regulatory agencies may reduce the amount of cash we generate.

The FERC regulates the rates we can charge and the terms and conditions we can offer for interstate transportation service on our pipelines. State regulatory authorities regulate the rates we can charge and the terms and conditions we can offer for intrastate movements on our pipelines. The determination of the interstate or intrastate character of shipments on our pipelines may change over time, which may change the regulatory framework and the rates we are allowed to charge for transportation and other related services. Shippers may protest our pipeline tariff filings, and the FERC or state regulatory authorities may investigate and require changes to tariff terms as a result of the protests or complaints. Further, other than for rates set under market-based rate authority, the FERC may order refunds of amounts collected under interstate rates that are determined to be in excess of a just and reasonable level. State regulatory authorities could take similar measures for intrastate tariffs. In addition, shippers may challenge by complaint the lawfulness of tariff rates that have become final and effective. If existing rates are determined to be in excess of a just and reasonable level, we could be required to pay refunds to shippers, reduce rates and make other concessions.

The FERC’s ratemaking methodologies may limit our ability to increase rates by amounts sufficient to reflect our actual cost or may delay the use of rates that reflect increased costs. We use the FERC’s indexing methodology to establish our rates in approximately 30% of the markets serviced by our Refined Products pipelines. The FERC’s indexing methodology is subject to review every five years and currently allows a pipeline to change its rates each year to a new ceiling level. When the change in the ceiling level is negative, we are required to reduce our rates that are subject to the FERC’s indexing methodology.

49

---

The FERC and most relevant state regulatory authorities allow us to establish rates based on conditions in competitive markets without regard to the FERC’s index level or our cost-of-service. We establish market-based rates in approximately 70% of the markets for our Refined Products pipelines. The tariffs on most of our long-haul crude oil pipelines are at negotiated rates, but are still subject to regulation by the FERC or state agencies and subject to protest by shippers. If we were to lose our market-based rate authority, or if our negotiated rates were determined to not be just and reasonable, we could be required to establish rates on some other basis, such as our cost-of-service. Establishing our rates through a cost-of-service filing could be expensive and could result in tariff reductions, which would adversely affect our business.

Our gas liquids blending activities subject us to federal regulations that govern renewable fuel requirements in the U.S.

The Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 expanded the required use of renewable fuels in the U.S. Each year, the EPA establishes a renewable volume obligation (“RVO”) requirement for refiners and fuel manufacturers based on overall quotas established by the federal government. By virtue of our gas liquids blending activity and resulting gasoline production, we are an obligated party and receive an annual RVO from the EPA. We typically purchase renewable energy credits, called RINs, to meet this obligation. Increases in the cost or decreases in the availability of RINs could have an adverse impact on our business.

Our business could be affected adversely by union disputes and strikes or work stoppages by our unionized employees.

As of September 25, 2023, approximately 4% of our workforce was represented by the United Steelworkers and covered by a collective bargaining agreement expiring January 2026. We could experience a work stoppage in the future as a result of disagreements with the labor union. A prolonged work stoppage could have an adverse effect on our business.

The failure to successfully combine the businesses of ONEOK and Magellan may adversely affect our future results.

The success of the Magellan Acquisition will depend, in part, on our ability to realize the anticipated benefits from combining the businesses of ONEOK and Magellan. To realize these anticipated benefits, ONEOK’s and Magellan’s businesses must be successfully combined. If the businesses are not successfully combined, the anticipated benefits of the Magellan Acquisition may not be realized fully or at all or may take longer to realize than expected. In addition, the integration may result in additional and unforeseen expenses, which could reduce the anticipated benefits of the Magellan Acquisition. It is possible that the integration process could result in the loss of key employees, as well as the disruption of our ongoing businesses or inconsistencies in our standards, controls, procedures and policies. Any or all of those occurrences could affect adversely the combined company’s ability to maintain relationships with customers and employees after the Magellan Acquisition or to achieve the anticipated benefits of the Magellan Acquisition. Integration efforts between the two companies will also divert management attention and resources. These integration matters could have an adverse effect on us.

Securities class action lawsuits and derivative lawsuits are often brought against public companies that have entered into acquisition, merger or other business combination agreements. Even if such a lawsuit is without merit, defending against these claims can result in substantial costs and divert management time and resources. An adverse judgment could result in monetary damages, which could have a negative impact on our liquidity and financial condition. Lawsuits that may be brought against us or our directors could also seek, among other things, injunctive relief or other equitable relief. Additionally, the defense or settlement of any lawsuits or claims against us or Magellan that were unresolved at the time of the Magellan Acquisition could affect adversely the combined company’s business, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

Our investors should consider the risks set forth in Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors, of our Annual Report that could affect us and our business. Although we have tried to discuss key factors, our investors need to be aware that other risks may prove to be important in the future. New risks may emerge at any time, and we cannot predict such risks or estimate the extent to which they may affect our financial performance. Investors should consider carefully the discussion of risks and the other information included or incorporated by reference in this Quarterly Report, including “Forward-Looking Statements,” which are included in Part I, Item 2, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
