TULSA, Okla., Aug. 5, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- ONE Gas, Inc. (NYSE: OGS) today announced its second quarter financial results and reaffirmed its 2024 financial guidance.
"The first half of 2024 was in line with our expectations, with active rate cases and interim filings progressing well in all jurisdictions," said Robert S. McAnnally, president and chief executive officer. "We head into the second half of the year with positive momentum and remain focused on executing our strategic plan and safely serving our customers."
SECOND QUARTER 2024 FINANCIAL RESULTS & HIGHLIGHTS
- Second quarter 2024 net income was $27.3 million or $0.48 per diluted share, compared with $32.7 million, or $0.58 per diluted share, in the second quarter 2023;
- Year-to-date 2024 net income was $126.6 million, or $2.23 per diluted share, compared with $135.3 million, or per $2.42 diluted share, in the same period last year;
- On Aug. 2, 2024, a unanimous settlement agreement was signed by all parties to the Kansas Gas Service rate case and filed with the Kansas Corporation Commission (KCC), subject to approval; and
- A quarterly dividend of $0.66 per share ($2.64 annualized) was declared on July 15, 2024, payable on Aug. 30, 2024, to shareholders of record at the close of business on Aug. 14, 2024.
SECOND QUARTER 2024 FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
ONE Gas reported operating income of $69.4 million in the second quarter 2024, compared with $64.0 million in the second quarter 2023, which primarily reflects:
- an increase of $14.7 million in revenue from new rates; and
- an increase of $1.6 million in residential sales due primarily to net customer growth in Oklahoma and Texas.
These increases were partially offset by:
- an increase of $5.0 million in depreciation and amortization expense from additional capital investment;
- an increase of $1.8 million in employee-related costs due primarily to planned investments in the Company's workforce and ongoing in-sourcing efforts;
- an increase of $1.8 million in outside services, mitigated in part by in-sourcing efforts; and
- a decrease of $1.3 million due to lower sales volumes, net of the impact of weather normalization mechanisms.
Excluding interest related to KGSS-I securitized bonds, net interest expense increased $10.0 million for the three months ending June 30, 2024, due primarily to the issuance of $300 million of
5.10 percent senior notes in December 2023 and the repayment of $300 million of 3.61 percent senior notes and $473 million of 1.10 percent senior notes in February and March 2024, respectively, with commercial paper.
Income tax expense includes a credit for amortization of the regulatory liability associated with excess deferred income taxes (EDIT) of $1.8 million and $3.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, and 2023, respectively.
Capital expenditures and asset removal costs were $194.6 million for the second quarter 2024 compared with $190.2 million in the same period last year, primarily representing expenditures for system integrity and extension of service to new areas.
YEAR-TO-DATE 2024 FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
Operating income for the six-month 2024 period was $215.3 million, compared with $213.3 million in 2023, which primarily reflects:
- an increase of $25.9 million from new rates; and
- an increase of $3.0 million in residential sales due primarily to net customer growth in Oklahoma and Texas.
These increases were offset partially by:
- an increase of $10.3 million of employee-related costs due primarily to planned investments in the Company's workforce and ongoing in-sourcing efforts;
- an increase of $10.3 million in depreciation and amortization expense from additional capital investment; and
- a decrease of $4.9 million due to lower sales volumes, net of the impact of weather normalization mechanisms.
Weather across the service territories for the six-month 2024 period was 13 percent warmer than normal and 6 percent warmer than the same period last year. The impact on operating income was mitigated by weather normalization mechanisms.
Excluding interest related to KGSS-I securitized bonds, net interest expense increased $11.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. Interest expense was primarily impacted by the conversion of the two debt maturities in the first quarter 2024 to commercial paper with a higher weighted average interest rate and the issuance of $300 million of 5.10 percent senior notes in December 2023.
Income tax expense includes a credit for amortization of the regulatory liability associated with EDIT of $11.9 million and $13.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, and 2023, respectively.
Capital expenditures and asset removal costs were $374.0 million for the six-month 2024 period compared with $354.8 million in the same period last year. The increase was due primarily to expenditures for system integrity and extension of service to new areas.
REGULATORY ACTIVITIES UPDATE
In February 2024, Oklahoma Natural Gas filed its annual Performance-Based Rate Change application for the test year ended December 2023. The filing included a requested $31.8 million base rate revenue increase. On May 31, 2024, a settlement was filed with a proposed revenue increase of $31.4 million. On July 15, 2024, the administrative law judge issued a report to the Oklahoma Corporation Commission (OCC) recommending approval of the settlement agreement. New rates went into effect on June 28, 2024, subject to refund until the OCC issues an order. An order is expected in the third quarter of 2024.
In March 2024, Kansas Gas Service submitted an application to the KCC requesting an increase to its base rates reflecting investments in its natural gas distribution system, implementation of a performance-based ratemaking mechanism and residential rate design options that align with customer usage. On Aug. 2, 2024, a unanimous settlement agreement was signed by all parties to the rate case and filed with the KCC. A hearing on the unanimous settlement agreement is scheduled for the week of Aug. 12, 2024.
If the unanimous settlement agreement is approved by the KCC as filed, Kansas Gas Service's net base rates would increase $35 million. Kansas Gas Service was already recovering $35 million from customers through Gas System Reliability Surcharge (GSRS) filings; therefore, this settlement represents a total base rate increase of $70 million. The unanimous settlement agreement stipulates a GSRS pre-tax carrying charge of 8.97 percent for subsequent GSRS filings. According to the Order Setting Procedural Schedule, the KCC will issue an order by Oct. 25, 2024.
In March 2024, Texas Gas Service made a Gas Reliability Infrastructure Program (GRIP) filing for all customers in the West-North service area, requesting a $8.6 million increase to be effective in July 2024. In June 2024, two municipalities denied the requested increase, which Texas Gas Service appealed to the Railroad Commission of Texas (RRC). All other municipalities, and the RRC, approved an increase of $8.5 million or allowed it to take effect with no action. Texas Gas
Service implemented the new rates in July 2024, subject to adjustment depending upon the outcome of the appeal.
In February 2024, Texas Gas Service made a GRIP filing for all customers in the Central- Gulf service area, requesting a $12.3 million increase. In May 2024, the RRC and the municipalities approved an increase of $12.2 million, and new rates became effective in June 2024.
In June 2024, Texas Gas Service filed a rate case for all customers in the Central-Gulf service area, requesting a $25.8 million increase. Texas Gas Service has invested approximately $355 million in its Central-Gulf service area natural gas distribution system since its last Central-Gulf service area rate case was finalized in August 2020. A portion of this investment, approximately
$342 million, is currently recovered through GRIP. The current filing is based on a 10.25 percent return on equity and a 59.6 percent common equity ratio. New rates are expected to take effect in late 2024.
In May, Texas Gas Service made a GRIP filing for all customers in the Rio Grande Valley service area, requesting a $3.7 million increase to be effective in August 2024.
2024 FINANCIAL GUIDANCE
ONE Gas reaffirmed the financial guidance it issued on Nov. 29, 2023, with 2024 net income expected to be in the range of $214 million to $231 million, or $3.70 to $4.00 per diluted share.
Capital expenditures, including asset removal costs, are expected to be approximately $750 million in 2024.

- operational and mechanical hazards or interruptions;
- adverse labor relations;
- the effectiveness of our strategies to reduce earnings lag, revenue protection strategies and risk mitigation strategies, which may be affected by risks beyond our control such as commodity price volatility, counterparty performance or creditworthiness and interest rate risk;

- through (i) cash on hand, (ii) operating cash flow, or (iii) access to the capital markets and other sources of liquidity;
- our ability to obtain capital on commercially reasonable terms, or on terms acceptable to us, or at all;
- limitations on our operating flexibility, earnings and cash flows due to restrictions in our financing arrangements;
- cross-default provisions in our borrowing arrangements, which may lead to our inability to satisfy all of our outstanding obligations in the event of a default on our part;

- the effectiveness of our risk-management policies and procedures, and employees violating our risk- management policies;
- the uncertainty of estimates, including accruals and costs of environmental remediation;
- advances in technology, including technologies that increase efficiency or that improve electricity's competitive position relative to natural gas;
- population growth rates and changes in the demographic patterns of the markets we serve, and economic conditions in these areas' housing markets;
- acts of nature and naturally occurring disasters;
- political unrest and the potential effects of threatened or actual terrorism and war;

- the effects of our strategies to reduce tax payments;
- changes in accounting standards;
- changes in corporate governance standards;

ONE Gas, Inc.
KGSS-I SECURITIZATION
In November 2022, Kansas Gas Service Securitization I, L.L.C. (KGSS-I) issued $336 million of securitized utility tariff bonds. KGSS-I used the proceeds from the issuance to purchase the Securitized Utility Tariff Property from Kansas Gas Service, pay for debt issuance costs, and reimburse Kansas Gas Service for upfront securitization costs paid on behalf of KGSS-I.
Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2024, include $11.5 million associated with KGSS- I, which is offset by $7.4 million in operating and amortization expense and $4.2 million in net interest expense. Revenues decreased $0.3 million compared to the same period last year, which was offset by the net change of a $0.1 million increase in operating and amortization expense and a $0.3 million decrease in net interest expense.
Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2024, include $23.2 million associated with KGSS-I, which is offset by $14.9 million in operating and amortization expense and $8.3 in net interest expense. Compared to the same six month period last year, revenues decreased $0.5 million, which was offset by the net change of a $0.4 million increase in amortization and operating expense and a $1.0 million decrease in net interest expense.
The following table summarizes the impact of KGSS-I on the consolidated balance sheets, for the periods indicated:
