◆ Natural gas gathering and processing increased

$15.6 million increase due primarily to higher realized commodity prices, net of hedges.

$4.0 million increase due primarily to contract settlements and lower third-party costs.

$6.2 million decrease due primarily to higher operating costs from the growth of ONEOK’s operations.

◆ Natural gas liquids increased

$28.6 million increase in exchange services due primarily to $26.7 million in lower unfractionated NGLs in inventory and $17.0 million in higher Rocky Mountain region volumes, offset partially by $13.7 million in higher third-party fractionation costs.

$15.9 million increase in transportation and storage services due primarily to higher volumes on the North System(a).

$35.3 million decrease in optimization and marketing due primarily to lower optimization volumes, narrower location price differentials and lower earnings related to the sale of NGL purity products previously held in inventory.

$2.3 million decrease from higher operating costs due primarily to the growth of ONEOK’s operations.

◆ Natural gas pipelines decreased

$4.1 million decrease from higher operating costs due primarily to employee-related costs.

$3.3 million decrease primarily from lower interruptible transportation revenues, offset partially by higher firm transportation capacity contracted.

$1.8 million increase in equity earnings due primarily to seasonal contracts on Northern Border Pipeline.

BUSINESS SEGMENT PERFORMANCE

(a) The North System is a FERC-regulated NGL pipeline that transports NGL purity products and various refined products throughout the Midwest markets, particularly near Chicago, Illinois.

P A G E 1 4

ONEOK has disclosed in this presentation adjusted EBITDA, distributable cash flow (DCF) and dividend coverage ratio, which are non-GAAP financial metrics, used to measure ONEOK’s financial performance, and are defined as follows: Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income from continuing operations adjusted for interest expense, depreciation and amortization, noncash impairment charges, income taxes, noncash compensation expense, allowance for equity funds used during construction (equity AFUDC), and other noncash items; and Distributable cash flow is defined as adjusted EBITDA, computed as described above, less interest expense, maintenance capital expenditures and equity earnings from investments, excluding noncash impairment charges, adjusted for cash distributions received from unconsolidated affiliates and certain other items; and Dividend coverage ratio is defined as ONEOK’s distributable cash flow to ONEOK shareholders divided by the dividends paid for the period. These non-GAAP financial measures described above are useful to investors because they are used by many companies in the industry as a measurement of financial performance and are commonly employed by financial analysts and others to evaluate our financial performance and to compare our financial performance with the performance of other companies within our industry. Adjusted EBITDA, DCF and dividend coverage ratio should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures exclude some, but not all, items that affect net income. Additionally, these calculations may not be comparable with similarly titled measures of other companies. Furthermore, these non- GAAP measures should not be viewed as indicative of the actual amount of cash that is available or that is planned to be distributed in a given period.
