Increasing 2025 Adj. EBITDA guidance midpoint by $50 million to $7.7 billion
Achieved credit upgrade to BBB+ from S&P; assigned a positive outlook by Moody鈥檚

Continued execution on strategic priorities positions company for future growth

Commercialized Socrates, a $1.6 billion Power Innovation project to serve growing AI demand in Ohio, backed by a long-term, fixed-price power purchase agreement
Announcing Transco's Power Express expansion, a 950 MMcf/d project to serve the power-hungry Virginia market by 3Q 2030
Enhanced market intelligence and gas supply opportunities with an acquired ~10% interest in Cogentrix Energy
Transco expansions: Placed Texas to Louisiana Energy Pathway and Southeast Energy Connector into service April 1, 2025; started construction on Alabama Georgia Connector
MountainWest expansion: Started construction on the Overthrust Westbound Expansion
Deepwater projects: Placed Whale and Ballymore in-service; progressing on remaining deepwater projects in execution that will drive earnings growth in 2025 with an additional step up in 2026

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

"Once again, our base business drove higher earnings for the quarter with recently commissioned Transco projects contributing additional fee-based revenues while our consolidated Crowheart upstream operations also drove growth. As a result of our recent investment in Cogentrix Energy and the continued outperformance of our base business, we are raising our Adjusted EBITDA guidance midpoint by $50 million to $7.7 billion.

"Our team is executing on a string of high-return projects that will accelerate earnings growth throughout the balance of the year, while continuing to add significant projects to our backlog. Notably, we commercialized Socrates, our first Power Innovation project that will deliver speed-to-market solutions for growing AI demand in Ohio. In addition, we announced Transco鈥檚 Power Express expansion to serve the power-hungry Virginia market. We are encouraged by what we see on the data center opportunity front, and our acquisition of a minority interest in Cogentrix Energy will enhance our Sequent market intelligence and give us line of sight to how we can better serve the growing power markets with gas supply."

Armstrong added, "Our business is firing on all cylinders and our track record of generating predictable, growing earnings in a variety of economic cycles underscores the value of Williams as a stable, long-term investment with a strong dividend. With an ever-expanding backlog of fully contracted projects extending beyond 2030 and our ability to capture new business in emerging markets, Williams is well positioned to benefit from the coming wave of natural gas demand from the power generation market and LNG exports, while continuing to deliver on traditional market needs."

(1) Schedules reconciling Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EBITDA, Available Funds from Operations and Dividend Coverage Ratio (non-GAAP measures) to the most comparable GAAP measure are available at and as an attachment to this news release.
(2) Does not represent leverage ratios measured for WMB credit agreement compliance or leverage ratios as calculated by the major credit ratings agencies. Debt is net of cash on hand, and Adjusted EBITDA reflects the sum of the last four quarters.
(3) Capital Investments include increases to property, plant, and equipment (growth & maintenance capital), purchases of and contributions to equity-method investments and purchases of other long-term investments. 1Q 2025 capital excludes $319 million for the Rimrock asset purchase, which closed January 2025; $153 million for the investment in Cogentrix, which closed March 2025; and $1 million for an adjustment of the Crowheart acquisition and Discovery consolidation, which closed in 2024. 1Q 2024 capital excludes $1.851 billion for the acquisition of the Gulf Coast Storage assets, which closed January 2024.

GAAP Measures
First-quarter 2025 net income increased by $59 million compared to the prior year reflecting a $98 million increase in service revenues driven by expansion projects and acquisitions, a favorable change of $60 million in net unrealized gains/losses on commodity derivatives, and higher realized results from upstream operations, including contributions from the fourth-quarter 2024 Crowheart acquisition. These favorable changes were partially offset by higher operating costs and depreciation resulting from expansion projects and acquisitions, as well as lower commodity marketing margins.

First-quarter 2025 cash flow from operations increased compared to the prior year primarily due to favorable net changes in working capital and derivative collateral requirements.

Non-GAAP Measures
First-quarter 2025 Adjusted EBITDA increased by $55 million over the prior year, driven by the previously described favorable net contributions from acquisitions, expansion projects, and upstream results, partially offset by lower commodity marketing margins.

First-quarter 2025 Adjusted Net Income improved compared to the prior year, driven by the previously described impacts to net income, adjusted primarily to remove the effects of net unrealized gains/losses on commodity derivatives.

First-quarter Available Funds From Operations (AFFO) decreased by $62 million compared to the prior year primarily due to higher current income taxes and lower contributions from noncontrolling interests.

Business Segment Results & Form 10-Q
Williams' operations are comprised of the following reportable segments: Transmission & Gulf of America, Northeast G&P, West and Gas & NGL Marketing Services, as well as Other. For more information, see the company's first-quarter 2025 Form 10-Q.

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

Transmission & Gulf of America
First-quarter 2025 Modified and Adjusted EBITDA improved compared to the prior year driven by favorable net contributions from the Regional Energy Access and Southside Reliability Enhancement expansion projects and increased Gulf production, offset by one less billable day. Modified EBITDA for the 2024 period was impacted by one-time acquisition costs, which are excluded from Adjusted EBITDA.

Northeast G&P
First-quarter 2025 Modified and Adjusted EBITDA increased over the prior year driven by higher rates and volumes at Ohio Valley Midstream and higher commodity-based rates at Laurel Mountain Midstream, partially offset by the absence of Aux Sable, which was sold in third-quarter 2024.

West
First-quarter 2025 Modified and Adjusted EBITDA increased compared to the prior year benefiting from higher commodity margins and contributions from Overland Pass Pipeline, partially offset by lower Eagle Ford revenues associated with reduced MVC targets.

Gas & NGL Marketing Services
First-quarter 2025 Modified EBITDA increased from the prior year primarily reflecting a $92 million net favorable change in unrealized gains/losses on commodity derivatives, which is excluded from Adjusted EBITDA, partially offset by lower natural gas marketing margins.

Other
First-quarter 2025 Modified EBITDA was consistent with the prior year, while Adjusted EBITDA increased, as improved realized results from upstream operations, including contributions from the fourth-quarter 2024 Crowheart acquisition, were largely offset by a $32 million net unfavorable change in unrealized gains/losses on commodity derivatives, which is excluded from Adjusted EBITDA.

2025 Financial Guidance
The company is raising the midpoint of its 2025 Adjusted EBITDA guidance by $50 million to $7.7 billion within the range of between $7.5 billion and $7.9 billion. The company expects 2025 growth capex between $2.575 billion and $2.875 billion and maintenance capex between $650 million and $750 million, excluding capital of $150 million for emissions reduction and modernization initiatives. Williams expects its leverage ratio midpoint for 2025 to be 3.65x and has increased the dividend by 5.3% on an annualized basis to $2.00 in 2025 from $1.90 in 2024.

Non-GAAP Measures
This news release and accompanying materials may include certain financial measures 鈥� adjusted EBITDA, adjusted income (鈥渆arnings鈥�), adjusted earnings per share, available funds from operations and dividend coverage ratio 鈥� that are non-GAAP financial measures as defined under the rules of the SEC.

Our segment performance measure, modified EBITDA, is defined as net income (loss) before income (loss) from discontinued operations, income tax expense, net interest expense, equity earnings from equity-method investments, other net investing income, impairments of equity investments and goodwill, depreciation and amortization expense, and accretion expense associated with asset retirement obligations for nonregulated operations. We also add our proportional ownership share (based on ownership interest) of modified EBITDA of equity-method investments, including our indirect share from interests owned by equity-method investees.

Adjusted EBITDA further excludes items of income or loss that we characterize as unrepresentative of our ongoing operations. Such items are excluded from net income to determine adjusted income and adjusted earnings per share. Management believes this measure provides investors meaningful insight into results from ongoing operations.

Available funds from operations (AFFO) is defined as cash flow from operations excluding the effect of changes in working capital and certain other changes in noncurrent assets and liabilities, reduced by preferred dividends and net distributions to noncontrolling interests. AFFO may be adjusted to exclude certain items that we characterize as unrepresentative of our ongoing operations.

This news release is accompanied by a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their nearest GAAP financial measures. Management uses these financial measures because they are accepted financial indicators used by investors to compare company performance. In addition, management believes that these measures provide investors an enhanced perspective of the operating performance of assets and the cash that the business is generating.

Neither adjusted EBITDA, adjusted income, nor available funds from operations are intended to represent cash flows for the period, nor are they presented as an alternative to net income or cash flow from operations. They should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for a measure of performance prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles.

Forward-Looking Statements
The reports, filings, and other public announcements of The Williams Companies, Inc. (Williams) may contain or incorporate by reference statements that do not directly or exclusively relate to historical facts. Such statements are 鈥渇orward-looking statements鈥� within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (Securities Act), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act). These forward-looking statements relate to anticipated financial performance, management鈥檚 plans and objectives for future operations, business prospects, outcomes of regulatory proceedings, market conditions, and other matters. We make these forward-looking statements in reliance on the safe harbor protections provided under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

All statements, other than statements of historical facts, included in this report that address activities, events, or developments that we expect, believe, or anticipate will exist or may occur in the future, are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements can be identified by various forms of words such as 鈥渁nticipates,鈥� 鈥渂elieves,鈥� 鈥渟eeks,鈥� 鈥渃ould,鈥� 鈥渕ay,鈥� 鈥渟hould,鈥� 鈥渃ontinues,鈥� 鈥渆stimates,鈥� 鈥渆xpects,鈥� 鈥渇orecasts,鈥� 鈥渋ntends,鈥� 鈥渕ight,鈥� 鈥済oals,鈥� 鈥渙bjectives,鈥� 鈥渢argets,鈥� 鈥減lanned,鈥� 鈥減otential,鈥� 鈥減rojects,鈥� 鈥渟cheduled,鈥� 鈥渨ill,鈥� 鈥渁ssumes,鈥� 鈥済uidance,鈥� 鈥渙utlook,鈥� 鈥渋n-service date,鈥� or other similar expressions. These forward-looking statements are based on management鈥檚 beliefs and assumptions and on information currently available to management and include, among others, statements regarding:

Levels of dividends to Williams' stockholders;
Future credit ratings of Williams and its affiliates;
Amounts and nature of future capital expenditures;
Expansion and growth of business and operations;
Expected in-service dates for capital projects;
Financial condition and liquidity;
Business strategy;
Cash flow from operations or results of operations;
Rate case filings;
Seasonality of certain business components;
Natural gas, natural gas liquids, and crude oil prices, supply, and demand;
Demand for services.

Forward-looking statements are based on numerous assumptions, uncertainties, and risks that could cause future events or results to be materially different from those stated or implied in this report. Many of the factors that will determine these results are beyond our ability to control or predict. Specific factors that could cause actual results to differ from results contemplated by the forward-looking statements include, among others, the following:

Availability of supplies, market demand, and volatility of prices;
Development and rate of adoption of alternative energy sources;
The impact of existing and future laws and regulations, the regulatory environment, environmental matters, and litigation, as well as our ability and the ability of other energy companies with whom we conduct or seek to conduct business, to obtain necessary permits and approvals, and our ability to achieve favorable rate proceeding outcomes;
Exposure to the credit risk of customers and counterparties;
Our ability to acquire new businesses and assets and successfully integrate those operations and assets into existing businesses as well as successfully expand our facilities, and consummate asset sales on acceptable terms;
The ability to successfully identify, evaluate, and timely execute our capital projects and investment opportunities;
The strength and financial resources of our competitors and the effects of competition;
The amount of cash distributions from and capital requirements of our investments and joint ventures in which we participate;
The ability to effectively execute our financing plan;
Increasing scrutiny and changing expectations from stakeholders with respect to environmental, social, and governance practices;
The physical and financial risks associated with climate change;
The impacts of operational and developmental hazards and unforeseen interruptions;
The risks resulting from outbreaks or other public health crises;
Risks associated with weather and natural phenomena, including climate conditions and physical damage to our facilities;
Acts of terrorism, cybersecurity incidents, and related disruptions;
Costs and funding obligations for defined benefit pension plans and other postretirement benefit plans;
Changes in maintenance and construction costs, as well as our ability to obtain sufficient construction-related inputs, including skilled labor;
Inflation, interest rates, tariffs on foreign-made materials and goods (including steel and steel pipes) necessary to our business, and general economic conditions (including future disruptions and volatility in the global credit markets and the impact of these events on customers and suppliers);
Risks related to financing, including restrictions stemming from debt agreements, future changes in credit ratings as determined by nationally recognized credit rating agencies, and the availability and cost of capital;
The ability of the members of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries and other oil exporting nations to agree to and maintain oil price and production controls and the impact on domestic production;
Changes in the current geopolitical situation, including the Russian invasion of Ukraine and conflicts in the Middle East;
Changes in U.S. governmental administration and policies;
Whether we are able to pay current and expected levels of dividends;
Additional risks described in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

Given the uncertainties and risk factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement, we caution investors not to unduly rely on our forward-looking statements. We disclaim any obligations to, and do not intend to, update the above list or announce publicly the result of any revisions to any of the forward-looking statements to reflect future events or developments.

In addition to causing our actual results to differ, the factors listed above and referred to below may cause our intentions to change from those statements of intention set forth in this report. Such changes in our intentions may also cause our results to differ. We may change our intentions, at any time and without notice, based upon changes in such factors, our assumptions, or otherwise.

Because forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, we caution that there are important factors, in addition to those listed above, that may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. For a detailed discussion of those factors, see (a) Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, as filed with the SEC on February 25, 2025, and (b) Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors in subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q.
