ONEOK, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
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 2025 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.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards Update - Changes to GAAP are established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) in the form of Accounting Standards Updates (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 during the quarter, and no material updates to recently issued standards disclosed in our Annual Report.
B. 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.
Recurring Fair Value Measurements - The following tables set forth our recurring fair value measurements as of the dates indicated:
| March 31, 2026 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Total - Gross | Netting (a) | Total - Net | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| (Millions of dollars) | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Derivative assets | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Commodity contracts | $ | 64 | $ | 134 | $ | — | $ | 198 | $ | (198) | $ | — | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| Total derivative assets | $ | 64 | $ | 134 | $ | — | $ | 198 | $ | (198) | $ | — | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| Derivative liabilities | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Commodity contracts | $ | (314) | $ | (171) | $ | — | $ | (485) | $ | 485 | $ | — | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| Total derivative liabilities | $ | (314) | $ | (171) | $ | — | $ | (485) | $ | 485 | $ | — |
(a) - Derivative assets and liabilities are presented in our Consolidated Balance Sheets on a net basis. We net derivative assets and liabilities when a legally enforceable master-netting arrangement exists between the counterparty to a derivative contract and us. At March 31, 2026, we held no cash and posted cash of $499 million with a counterparty, including $287 million of cash collateral that is offsetting derivative net liability positions under master-netting arrangements in the table above. The remaining $212 million of cash collateral in excess of derivative liability positions is included in other current assets in our Consolidated Balance Sheets.
| December 31, 2025 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Total - Gross | Netting (a) | Total - Net | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| (Millions of dollars) | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Total derivative liabilities | $ | (21) | $ | (46) | $ | — | $ | (67) | $ | 67 | $ | — |
(a) - Derivative assets and liabilities are presented in our Consolidated Balance Sheets on a net basis. We net derivative assets and liabilities when a legally enforceable master-netting arrangement exists between the counterparty to a derivative contract and us. At December 31, 2025, we held no cash and posted cash of $4 million with a counterparty, which is included in other current assets in our Consolidated Balance Sheets.
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 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 book value of our consolidated long-term debt, including current maturities, was $32.0 billion at March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025. The estimated fair value of our consolidated long-term debt, including current maturities, was $32.1 billion and $32.7 billion at March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025, 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.
C. RISK-MANAGEMENT AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES USING DERIVATIVES
Risk-management Activities - We are sensitive to changes in the prices of natural gas, NGLs, Refined Products and crude oil, principally as a result of contractual terms under which these commodities are processed, purchased and sold. 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. Additionally, we may use physical-forward purchases and financial derivatives to reduce commodity price risk associated with power and natural gas used to operate our facilities. 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 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. Our exposure to commodity price risk is consistent with that discussed in our Annual Report.
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. At March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025, we had no outstanding interest-rate derivative instruments.
Fair Values of Derivative Instruments - The following table sets forth the fair values of our derivative instruments presented on a gross basis as of the dates indicated:

(a) - Derivative assets and liabilities are presented in our Consolidated Balance Sheets on a net basis when a legally enforceable master-netting arrangement exists between the counterparty to a derivative contract and us.
(b) - At March 31, 2026, our derivative net liability positions under master-netting arrangements for financial commodity contracts were offset by cash collateral of $287 million.
Notional Quantities for Derivative Instruments - The following table sets forth the notional quantities for our derivative instruments, consisting of futures and swaps, held as of the dates indicated:

Cash Flow Hedges - At March 31, 2026, the accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) relating to risk-management assets and liabilities, net of taxes, was $(220) million, which included unrealized losses of $(198) million, net of tax, related to commodity derivative instruments that we expect to be reclassified into earnings during the next 12 months.
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the unrealized change in fair value of cash flow hedges in other comprehensive income (loss) related to commodity contracts was $(394) million and the effect of cash flow hedges on net income was not material.
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.
D. DEBT
Current Maturities - At March 31, 2026, our current maturities of long-term debt consisted of the following:
| (Millions of dollars) | |||||
| $500 at 4.85% due July 2026 | $ | 491 | |||
| $750 at 5.55% due November 2026 | 750 | ||||
| Current maturities of long-term debt | $ | 1,241 |
Commercial Paper Program - At March 31, 2026, we had $1.6 billion of commercial paper outstanding, bearing a weighted-average interest rate of 4.16%. At December 31, 2025, we had $820 million of commercial paper outstanding, bearing a weighted-average interest rate of 3.91%.
$3.5 Billion Credit Agreement - Our $3.5 Billion Credit Agreement 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 $3.5 Billion Credit Agreement, adjusted for all noncash items and increased for projected EBITDA from certain lender-approved capital expansion projects). In addition, adjusted EBITDA as defined in our $3.5 Billion Credit Agreement allows inclusion of the trailing 12 months of consolidated adjusted EBITDA of an acquired business. In December 2025, we completed the acquisition of a system of gas gathering assets, which allowed us to effectively extend the acquisition adjustment period under our $3.5 Billion Credit Agreement and, as a result, our leverage ratio covenant of 5.5 to 1 was extended through the quarter ending June 30, 2026, after which it will decrease to 5.0 to 1. As of March 31, 2026, we had no outstanding borrowings, our ratio of consolidated indebtedness to adjusted EBITDA was 4.2 to 1, and we were in compliance with all covenants under our $3.5 Billion Credit Agreement.
Subsequent Events - In April 2026, we redeemed the remaining $491 million of our $500 million, 4.85% senior notes due July 2026 at 100% of the outstanding principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, with short-term borrowings.
In April 2026, we entered into a $1.2 Billion Term Loan Agreement, which is available to be drawn in up to two borrowings within 90 days of the closing date. The $1.2 Billion Term Loan Agreement matures 364 days after the date of the initial borrowing and may be used for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, mergers and for other general corporate purposes. The $1.2 Billion Term Loan Agreement allows prepayment of all or any portion outstanding, without penalty or premium, and contains substantially the same covenants as those contained in our $3.5 Billion Credit Agreement. We had no borrowings under the $1.2 Billion Term Loan Agreement as of the date of issuance of the Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report.
Debt Guarantees - ONEOK, ONEOK Partners, the Intermediate Partnership, Magellan, EnLink and EnLink Partners have cross guarantees in place for ONEOK’s and ONEOK Partners’ indebtedness. For further details on our indebtedness, see Note G of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report.
E. EQUITY
Dividends - Holders of our common stock share equally in any common stock dividends declared by our Board of Directors. Dividends paid on our common stock in February 2026 were $1.07 per share. We declared a quarterly common stock dividend of $1.07 per share in April 2026. The quarterly common stock dividend will be paid on May 15, 2026, to shareholders of record at the close of business on May 4, 2026.
F. VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES
Consolidated Variable Interest Entities (VIEs) - As of March 31, 2026, our consolidated VIEs consist of OWM, MBTC Pipeline and Ascension. We are the managing member of each entity. These entities are VIEs because the nonmanaging member does not have substantive rights (except in the case of default and other triggering events) to remove us as the managing member or participating rights over the managing member. As the managing member, we are the primary beneficiary because we control the decisions that most significantly impact these entities.
In January 2026, we entered into an agreement to form OWM, which owns natural gas gathering and processing assets in Wyoming. Pursuant to the agreement, our joint venture partner holds a put right, which, if exercised, would require us to purchase all of the outstanding interests in OWM, beginning on the fourth anniversary of closing, at a contractually determined put price. As the put right is outside of our control, we recorded redeemable noncontrolling interests classified as temporary equity in our Consolidated Balance Sheets.
As of December 31, 2025, the assets and liabilities of our consolidated VIEs were not material. The following table presents the balance sheet information for the assets and liabilities that are only for the use or obligation of our consolidated VIEs, which were included in our Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2026:

H. UNCONSOLIDATED AFFILIATES
Equity in Net Earnings from Investments and Impairments - The following table sets forth our equity in net earnings from investments for the periods indicated:
| Three Months Ended March 31, | |||||||||||||||||||||||

| (Millions of dollars) | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| Northern Border | $ | 40 | $ | 28 | |||||||||||||||||||

| Equity in net earnings from investments | $ | 89 | $ | 108 | |||||||||||||||||||
| Impairment of equity investments | $ | (60) | $ | — |
We incurred expenses in transactions with unconsolidated affiliates of $75 million and $80 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, related primarily to Overland Pass, Matterhorn and Northern Border. Revenue earned and accounts receivable from, and accounts payable to, our unconsolidated affiliates were not material.
We are the operator of Roadrunner, BridgeTex, Saddlehorn and Powder Springs. 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 first quarter of 2026, we made equity contributions to Texas City Logistics and Eiger of $64 million and $61 million, respectively, which, in combination with contributions from our joint venture partners, were primarily used for funding capital projects.
Impairment Charges - For the period ended March 31, 2026, we evaluated and concluded that the full carrying value of our 50% investment in Powder Springs in our Refined Products and Crude segment was not recoverable and recorded a noncash impairment charge of $60 million, which included $52 million related to a basis difference associated with property, plant and equipment and equity-method goodwill. This impairment charge is reported within impairment of equity investments in our Consolidated Statements of Income. The estimated fair value of the equity investment is classified as Level 3. Our accounting policies for evaluating and testing our equity-method investments in unconsolidated affiliates for impairment are consistent with those discussed in Note A of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report.
I. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Regulatory, Environmental and Safety Matters - The operation of pipelines, terminals, plants and other facilities for the gathering, processing, fractionation, transportation and storage of 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, terminals, 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 adversely affect 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.
J. REVENUES
Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities - Our contract asset balances at the beginning and end of the period were not material. Our contract liabilities at the beginning and end of the period primarily related to deferred revenue on Refined Products and crude oil transportation contracts, NGL storage contracts and contributions in aid of construction received from customers, which were not material.
Receivables from Customer and Revenue Disaggregation - Substantially all of the balances in accounts receivable on our Consolidated Balance Sheets at March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025, related to customer receivables. Revenue sources are disaggregated in Note K.
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 March 31, 2026, 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 23 years.
| Expected Period of Recognition in Revenue | (Millions of dollars) | |||||||
| Remainder of 2026 | $ | 978 | ||||||
| 2027 | 1,200 | |||||||
| 2028 | 1,020 | |||||||
| 2029 | 866 | |||||||
| 2030 and beyond | 2,908 | |||||||
| Total | $ | 6,972 |
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 certain minimum volume agreements, which we consider to be fully constrained until invoiced.
K. SEGMENTS
Segment Descriptions - Our operations are divided into four reportable business segments, as follows:
-
our Natural Gas Gathering and Processing segment gathers, compresses, treats, processes and markets natural gas;
-
our Natural Gas Liquids segment gathers, treats, fractionates, transports, stores, markets and distributes NGLs;
-
our Natural Gas Pipelines segment transports, stores and markets natural gas; and
-
our Refined Products and Crude segment gathers, transports, stores, distributes, blends and markets Refined Products and crude oil.
Other and eliminations consist of corporate costs, the operating activities of our headquarters building and related parking facility, the activity of our wholly owned captive insurance company and eliminations necessary to reconcile our reportable segments to our Consolidated Financial Statements.
The significant expense categories and amounts included in the tables below align with the segment-level information that is regularly provided to the chief operating decision-maker. Total assets by segment is excluded from the tables below as that information is not regularly provided to the chief operating decision-maker.
