HOUSTON, May 08, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. (Nasdaq: PAA) and Plains GP Holdings (Nasdaq: PAGP) today reported first-quarter 2026 results and raised full-year 2026 Adjusted EBITDA Guidance.
First-Quarter 2026 Results
-- First-quarter Net income attributable to PAA of $152 million and Net cash
provided by operating activities of $418 million
-- Delivered first-quarter Adjusted EBITDA attributable to PAA of $730
million
-- Pro forma leverage ratio of 4.1x at quarter-end; expect to return toward
the midpoint of the target range of 3.25 to 3.75x following closing of
the NGL divestiture and migrating toward lower-end of the range by
year-end
-- Paid a quarterly cash distribution of $0.4175 per unit ($1.67 per unit
annualized), representing a current distribution yield of 7.5%
2026 Updated Outlook
-- Increasing midpoint of full-year 2026 Adjusted EBITDA guidance
attributable to PAA by $130 million to $2.880 billion +/- $75 million
(reflecting a strong oil macro environment and NGL contribution into May
2026)
-- Growth capital remains $350 million with maintenance capital increasing
to $185 million, reflecting ownership of NGL assets into May 2026
-- Full-year 2026 Adjusted Free Cash Flow guidance increased to
approximately $1.850 billion (excluding changes in Assets & Liabilities
and anticipated cash proceeds from the NGL divestiture)
"Global events this year illustrate the importance of reliable, secure and responsibly produced energy and have accelerated the timing of our view for a more constructive crude oil market. Our integrated business model and asset base connecting U.S. crude production to the global markets are critical to meeting global energy demand. As a result, we are increasing the midpoint of our 2026 Adjusted EBITDA guidance by $130 million to reflect a constructive oil macro environment and extended ownership of our Canadian NGL business into May. The closing of the NGL divestiture will mark a transition to a premier pure play crude oil midstream provider. We remain focused on executing key initiatives in 2026, including closing the pending NGL sale and realizing $100 million of contribution between Cactus III synergies and capturing efficiencies across our system. The combination of these internal initiatives coupled with a healthy oil macro backdrop positions Plains with momentum into 2027 and beyond. Finally, we remain committed to financial discipline and maintaining a strong balance sheet, while continuing to return capital to unit holders," said Willie Chiang, Chairman, CEO and President.
Financial Reporting Considerations for Pending Sale of Canadian NGL Business
On June 17, 2025, we entered into a definitive agreement to sell substantially all of our NGL business in Canada (the "Canadian NGL Business") to Keyera Corp. This transaction is expected to close in May 2026. As part of the sale, we will divest the Canadian NGL Business, which includes substantially all of our NGL assets; the NGL assets that we will retain are located in the United States.
We have determined that the operations of the Canadian NGL Business meet the criteria for classification as held for sale and for discontinued operations reporting and have applied these changes retrospectively to all periods presented. Results throughout this release specify if they are presented from continuing operations (which exclude the results of the Canadian NGL Business) and/or discontinued operations.

First-quarter 2026 Adjusted EBITDA from Crude Oil increased 4% versus comparable 2025 results. Favorable results in the 2026 period from (i) contributions from recently completed bolt-on acquisitions, including our Cactus III pipeline acquisition, and (ii) higher volumes on our pipelines were partially offset by the impact of (iii) certain Permian long-haul pipeline contract rate resets.
First-quarter 2026 Adjusted EBITDA from NGL decreased 23% versus comparable 2025 results primarily due to lower weighted average frac spreads and reduced sales volumes from warmer weather.
Plains GP Holdings
PAGP owns an indirect non-economic controlling interest in PAA's general partner and an indirect limited partner interest in PAA. As the control entity of PAA, PAGP consolidates PAA's results into its financial statements, which is reflected in the condensed consolidating balance sheet and income statement tables attached hereto.
Conference Call and Webcast Instructions
PAA and PAGP will hold a joint conference call at 9:00 a.m. CT on Friday, May 8, 2026 to discuss first-quarter performance and related items.

Alternatively, the webcast can be accessed on our website at https://ir.plains.com/news-events/events-presentations. Following the live webcast, an audio replay will be available on our website and will be accessible for a period of 365 days. Slides will be posted prior to the call at the above referenced website.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Selected Items Impacting Comparability
To supplement our financial information presented in accordance with GAAP, management uses additional measures known as "non-GAAP financial measures" in its evaluation of past performance and prospects for the future and to assess the amount of cash that is available for distributions, debt repayments, common equity repurchases and other general partnership purposes. The primary additional measures used by management are Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA attributable to PAA, Implied Distributable Cash Flow ("DCF"), Adjusted Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow after Distributions.
Our definition and calculation of certain non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures of other companies. Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA attributable to PAA, Implied DCF and certain other non-GAAP financial performance measures are reconciled to Net Income, and Adjusted Free Cash Flow, Adjusted Free Cash Flow after Distributions and certain other non-GAAP financial liquidity measures are reconciled to Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities (the most directly comparable measures as reported in accordance with GAAP) for the historical periods presented in the tables attached to this release, and should be viewed in addition to, and not in lieu of, our Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes. In addition, we encourage you to visit the Investor Relations section of our website at www.plains.com (navigate to the "Financials" tab, then click on "Quarterly Results"), which presents a reconciliation of our commonly used non-GAAP and supplemental financial measures. We do not reconcile non-GAAP financial measures on a forward-looking basis as it is impractical to do so without unreasonable effort.
Non-GAAP Financial Performance Measures
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings from continuing operations and discontinued operations before (i) interest expense, (ii) income tax (expense)/benefit from continuing operations and discontinued operations, (iii) depreciation and amortization (including our proportionate share of depreciation and amortization, including write-downs related to cancelled projects and impairments, of unconsolidated entities) from continuing operations and discontinued operations, (iv) gains and losses on asset sales, asset impairments and other, net from continuing operations and discontinued operations, (v) gains on investments in unconsolidated entities, net and (vi) interest income on promissory notes by and among certain Plains entities, and (vii) adjusted for certain selected items impacting comparability. Adjusted EBITDA attributable to PAA excludes the portion of Adjusted EBITDA that is attributable to noncontrolling interests. Adjusted EBITDA disaggregated by product (e.g., Adjusted EBITDA from Crude Oil and Adjusted EBITDA from NGL) excludes amounts related to Other income/(expense).
Management believes that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA attributable to PAA and Implied DCF provides useful information to investors regarding our performance and results of operations because these measures, when used to supplement related GAAP financial measures, (i) provide additional information about our operating performance and ability to fund distributions to our unitholders through cash generated by our operations and (ii) provide investors with the same financial analytical framework upon which management bases financial, operational, compensation and planning/budgeting decisions. We also present these and additional non-GAAP financial measures, including adjusted net income attributable to PAA and basic and diluted adjusted net income per common unit, as they are measures that investors, rating agencies and debt holders have indicated are useful in assessing us and our results of operations. These non-GAAP financial performance measures may exclude, for example, (i) charges for obligations that are expected to be settled with the issuance of equity instruments, (ii) gains and losses on derivative instruments that are related to underlying activities in another period (or the reversal of such adjustments from a prior period), gains and losses on derivatives that are either related to investing activities (such as the purchase of linefill) or purchases of long-term inventory, and inventory valuation adjustments, as applicable, (iii) long-term inventory costing adjustments, (iv) items that are not indicative of our operating results and/or (v) other items that we believe should be excluded in understanding our operating performance. These measures may be further adjusted to include amounts related to deficiencies associated with minimum volume commitments whereby we have billed the counterparties for their deficiency obligation and such amounts are recognized as deferred revenue in "Other current liabilities" in our Consolidated Financial Statements. We also adjust for amounts billed by our equity method investees related to deficiencies under minimum volume commitments. Such amounts are presented net of applicable amounts subsequently recognized into revenue. Furthermore, the calculation of these measures contemplates tax effects as a separate reconciling item, where applicable. We have defined all such items as "selected items impacting comparability." Due to the nature of the selected items, certain selected items impacting comparability may impact certain non-GAAP financial measures, referred to as adjusted results, but not impact other non-GAAP financial measures. We do not necessarily consider all of our selected items impacting comparability to be non-recurring, infrequent or unusual, but we believe that an understanding of these selected items impacting comparability is material to the evaluation of our operating results and prospects.
Although we present selected items impacting comparability that management considers in evaluating our performance, you should also be aware that the items presented do not represent all items that affect comparability between the periods presented. Variations in our operating results are also caused by changes in volumes, prices, exchange rates, mechanical interruptions, acquisitions, divestitures, investment capital projects and numerous other factors. These types of variations may not be separately identified in this release, but will be discussed, as applicable, in management's discussion and analysis of operating results in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Non-GAAP Financial Liquidity Measures
Management uses the non-GAAP financial liquidity measures Adjusted Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow after Distributions to assess the amount of cash that is available for distributions, debt repayments, common equity repurchases and other general partnership purposes. Adjusted Free Cash Flow is defined as Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities, less Net Cash Provided by/(Used in) Investing Activities, which primarily includes acquisition, investment and maintenance capital expenditures, investments in unconsolidated entities and related party notes and the impact from the purchase and sale of linefill, net of proceeds from the sales of assets and further impacted by distributions to and contributions from noncontrolling interests and proceeds from the issuance of related party notes. Adjusted Free Cash Flow is further reduced by cash distributions paid to our preferred and common unitholders to arrive at Adjusted Free Cash Flow after Distributions.
We also present these measures and additional non-GAAP financial liquidity measures as they are measures that investors have indicated are useful. We present Adjusted Free Cash Flow (Excluding Changes in Assets & Liabilities) for use in assessing our underlying business liquidity and cash flow generating capacity excluding fluctuations caused by timing of when amounts earned or incurred were collected, received or paid from period to period. Adjusted Free Cash Flow (Excluding Changes in Assets & Liabilities) is defined as Adjusted Free Cash Flow excluding the impact of "Changes in assets and liabilities, net of acquisitions" on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. In addition, we exclude impacts related to the pending Canadian NGL Business divestiture. Adjusted Free Cash Flow (Excluding Changes in Assets & Liabilities) is further reduced by cash distributions paid to our preferred and common unitholders to arrive at Adjusted Free Cash Flow after Distributions (Excluding Changes in Assets & Liabilities).
Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Discontinued Operations
Management believes that the presentation of certain Non-GAAP financial performance measures, such as Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA attributable to PAA, Implied DCF, Adjusted Net Income attributable to PAA, Adjusted Net Income per Common Unit, Adjusted EBITDA from Crude Oil and Adjusted EBITDA from NGL, and certain Non-GAAP financial liquidity measures, such as Adjusted Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow (Excluding Changes in Assets & Liabilities), on a consolidated basis (e.g., the aggregate of continuing operations and discontinued operations) provides more relevant and useful information regarding our performance and results of operations than presenting such metrics only on a continuing operations or discontinued operations basis. In addition, as the potential sale of the Canadian NGL Business is not anticipated to close until May 2026, management continues to view the Canadian NGL Business as a component of our overall company performance and ability to fund distributions to our unitholders in the near term.

After adjusting for the appropriate period's distributions, the remaining undistributed earnings or excess distributions over earnings, if any, are allocated to common unitholders and participating securities in accordance with the contractual terms of our partnership agreement in effect for the period and as further prescribed under the two-class method.
(2) Net income/(loss) from discontinued operations allocated to common unitholders is "Income/(loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax" as presented on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
(3) The possible conversion of our Series A preferred units was excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per common unit from continuing operations for each of the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 as the effect was antidilutive.
(4) Our equity-indexed compensation plan awards that contemplate the issuance of common units are considered potentially dilutive unless (i) they become vested only upon the satisfaction of a performance condition and (ii) that performance condition has yet to be satisfied. Equity-indexed compensation plan awards that are deemed to be dilutive are reduced by a hypothetical common unit repurchase based on the remaining unamortized fair value, as prescribed by the treasury stock method in guidance issued by the FASB.

Equity-indexed compensation plan awards that are deemed to be dilutive are reduced by a hypothetical common unit repurchase based on the remaining unamortized fair value, as prescribed by the treasury stock method in guidance issued by the FASB.

________________________________
(1) Certain of our non-GAAP financial measures may not be impacted by each of the selected items impacting comparability. See the "Net Income to Adjusted EBITDA attributable to PAA and Implied DCF Reconciliation" and "Computation of Basic and Diluted Adjusted Net Income Per Common Unit" tables for additional details on how these selected items impacting comparability affect such measures.
(2) Includes results from continuing operations and discontinued operations for all periods presented.
(3) We use derivative instruments for risk management purposes and our related processes include specific identification of hedging instruments to an underlying hedged transaction. Although we identify an underlying transaction for each derivative instrument we enter into, there may not be an accounting hedge relationship between the instrument and the underlying transaction. In the course of evaluating our results, we identify differences in the timing of earnings from the derivative instruments and the underlying transactions and exclude the related gains and losses in determining adjusted results such that the earnings from the derivative instruments and the underlying transactions impact adjusted results in the same period. In addition, we exclude gains and losses on derivatives that are related to (i) investing activities, such as the purchase of linefill, and (ii) purchases of long-term inventory. We also exclude the impact of corresponding inventory valuation adjustments, as applicable.
(4) We carry crude oil and NGL inventory that is comprised of minimum working inventory requirements in third-party assets and other working inventory that is needed for our commercial operations. We consider this inventory necessary to conduct our operations and we intend to carry this inventory for the foreseeable future. Therefore, we classify this inventory as long-term on our balance sheet and do not hedge the inventory with derivative instruments (similar to linefill in our own assets). We treat the impact of changes in the average cost of the long-term inventory (that result from fluctuations in market prices) and write-downs of such inventory that result from price declines as a selected item impacting comparability.
(5) We, and certain of our equity method investees, have certain agreements that require counterparties to deliver, transport or throughput a minimum volume over an agreed upon period. Substantially all of such agreements were entered into with counterparties to economically support the return on capital expenditure necessary to construct the related asset. Some of these agreements include make-up rights if the minimum volume is not met. We record a receivable from the counterparty in the period that services are provided or when the transaction occurs, including amounts for deficiency obligations from counterparties associated with minimum volume commitments. If a counterparty has a make-up right associated with a deficiency, we defer the revenue attributable to the counterparty's make-up right and subsequently recognize the revenue at the earlier of when the deficiency volume is delivered or shipped, when the make-up right expires or when it is determined that the counterparty's ability to utilize the make-up right is remote. We include the impact of amounts billed to counterparties for their deficiency obligation, net of applicable amounts subsequently recognized into revenue or equity earnings, as a selected item impacting comparability. We believe the inclusion of the contractually committed revenues associated with that period is meaningful to investors as the related asset has been constructed, is standing ready to provide the committed service and the fixed operating costs are included in the current period results.
(6) Depreciation and amortization on the long-lived assets of the Canadian NGL Business disposal group ceased upon meeting the criteria to be classified as assets held for sale. Management believes that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA and Implied DCF on a consolidated basis (e.g., the aggregate of continuing operations and discontinued operations) provides more relevant and useful information regarding our performance and results of operations than presenting such metrics only on a continuing operations or discontinued operations basis. We therefore include an adjustment for the impact of amortization of the rail fleet associated with the Canadian NGL Business.
(7) Our total equity-indexed compensation expense includes expense associated with awards that will be settled in units and awards that will be settled in cash. The awards that will be settled in units are included in our diluted net income per unit calculation when the applicable performance criteria have been met. We consider the compensation expense associated with these awards as a selected item impacting comparability as the dilutive impact of the outstanding awards is included in our diluted net income per unit calculation, as applicable. The portion of compensation expense associated with awards that will be settled in cash is not considered a selected item impacting comparability.
(8) During the periods presented, there were fluctuations in the value of the Canadian dollar to the U.S. dollar, resulting in the realization of foreign exchange gains and losses on the settlement of foreign currency transactions as well as the revaluation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency. The associated gains and losses are not integral to our results and were thus classified as a selected item impacting comparability.
(9) We agreed to potential earnout payments associated with recently completed acquisitions, primarily our Cactus III acquisition. We consider the non-cash change in the estimated fair value of such earnout payments as a selected item impacting comparability.
(10) Primarily related to deal-specific costs incurred during the period.
(11) In connection with the pending Canadian NGL Business divestiture, we have continued to progress certain planning and restructuring activities within our organizational structure. Certain of these activities had income tax consequences that required recognition during the first quarter of 2026. We consider the impacts related to the pending Canadian NGL Business divestiture as a selected item impacting comparability.

Forward-Looking Statements
Except for the historical information contained herein, the matters discussed in this release consist of forward-looking statements that involve certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from results or outcomes anticipated in the forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, among other things, the following:
-- risks related to the Canadian NGL Business divestiture (as defined
herein), including the risk that the Canadian NGL Business divestiture is
not consummated on the terms expected or on the anticipated schedule, or
at all, and the effect of the announcement or pendency of the Canadian
NGL Business divestiture on our business relationships, operating results,
employees, stakeholders and business generally;
-- general economic, market or business conditions in the United States and
elsewhere (including the potential for a recession or significant
slowdown in economic activity levels, the risk of persistently high
inflation and supply chain issues, the impact of global public health
events, such as pandemics, on demand and growth, and the timing, pace and
extent of economic recovery) that impact (i) demand for crude oil,
drilling and production activities and therefore the demand for the
midstream services we provide and (ii) commercial opportunities available
to us;
-- declines in global crude oil demand and/or crude oil prices or other
factors that correspondingly lead to a significant reduction of North
American crude oil and NGL production (whether due to reduced producer
cash flow to fund drilling activities or the inability of producers to
access capital, or both, the unavailability of pipeline and/or storage
capacity, the shutting-in of production by producers, government-mandated
pro-ration orders, or other factors), which in turn could result in
significant declines in the actual or expected volume of crude oil and
NGL shipped, processed, purchased, stored, fractionated and/or gathered
at or through the use of our assets and/or the reduction of the margins
we can earn or the commercial opportunities that might otherwise be
available to us;
-- impacts of global geopolitical events, including conflicts in the Middle
East and elsewhere, on commodity price volatility and crude oil supply
and demand, as well as broader impacts on financial markets and the
global macroeconomic environment;
-- fluctuations in refinery capacity and other factors affecting demand for
various grades of crude oil and NGL and resulting changes in pricing
conditions or transportation throughput requirements;
-- unanticipated changes in crude oil and NGL market structure, grade
differentials and volatility (or lack thereof);
-- the effects of competition and capacity overbuild in areas where we
operate, including downward pressure on rates, volumes and margins,
contract renewal risk and the risk of loss of business to other midstream
operators who are willing or under pressure to aggressively reduce
transportation rates in order to capture or preserve customers;
-- the availability of, and our ability to consummate, acquisitions,
divestitures, joint ventures or other strategic opportunities and realize
benefits therefrom, including the Canadian NGL Business divestiture (as
defined herein);
-- the successful operation of joint ventures and joint operating
arrangements we enter into from time to time, whether relating to assets
operated by us or by third parties, and the successful integration and
future performance of acquired assets or businesses;
-- environmental liabilities, litigation or other events that are not
covered by an indemnity, insurance or existing reserves;
-- negative societal sentiment regarding the hydrocarbon energy industry and
the continued development and consumption of hydrocarbons, which could
influence consumer preferences and governmental or regulatory actions
that adversely impact our business;
-- the occurrence of a natural disaster, catastrophe, terrorist attack
(including eco-terrorist attacks) or other event that materially impacts
our operations, including cyber or other attacks on our or our service
providers' electronic and computer systems;
-- weather interference with business operations or project construction,
including the impact of extreme weather events or conditions (including
hurricanes, floods, wildfires and drought);
-- the impact of current and future laws, rulings, legislation, governmental
regulations, executive orders, trade policies, trade tariffs, accounting
standards and statements, and related interpretations that (i) prohibit,
restrict or regulate the development of oil and gas resources and the
related infrastructure on lands dedicated to or served by our pipelines
or (ii) negatively impact our ability to develop, operate or repair
midstream assets, or (iii) otherwise negatively impact our business or
increase our exposure to risk;
-- negative impacts on production levels in the Permian Basin or elsewhere
due to issues associated with (or laws, rules or regulations relating to)
hydraulic fracturing and related activities (including wastewater
injection or disposal), including earthquakes, subsidence, expansion or
other issues;
-- the pace of development of natural gas or other infrastructure and its
impact on expected crude oil production growth in the Permian Basin;
-- the refusal or inability of our customers or counterparties to perform
their obligations under their contracts with us (including commercial
contracts, asset sale agreements and other agreements), whether justified
or not and whether due to financial constraints (such as reduced
creditworthiness, liquidity issues or insolvency), market constraints,
legal constraints (including governmental orders or guidance), the
exercise of contractual or common law rights that allegedly excuse their
performance (such as force majeure or similar claims) or other factors;
-- loss of key personnel and inability to attract and retain new talent;
-- disruptions to futures markets for crude oil, NGL and other petroleum
products, which may impair our ability to execute our commercial or
hedging strategies;
-- the effectiveness of our risk management activities;
-- shortages or cost increases of supplies, materials or labor;
-- maintenance of our credit ratings and ability to receive open credit from
our suppliers and trade counterparties;
-- our inability to perform our obligations under our contracts, whether due
to non-performance by third parties, including our customers or
counterparties, market constraints, third-party constraints, supply chain
issues, legal constraints (including governmental orders or guidance), or
other factors or events;
-- the incurrence of costs and expenses related to unexpected or unplanned
capital or maintenance expenditures, third-party claims or other factors;
-- failure to implement or capitalize, or delays in implementing or
capitalizing, on investment capital projects, whether due to permitting
delays, permitting withdrawals or other factors;
-- failure to implement or realize anticipated benefits from operational and
organizational streamlining and efficiency efforts and initiatives;
-- tightened capital markets or other factors that increase our cost of
capital or limit our ability to obtain debt or equity financing on
satisfactory terms to fund additional acquisitions, investment capital
projects, working capital requirements and the repayment or refinancing
of indebtedness;
-- the amplification of other risks caused by volatile or closed financial
markets, capital constraints, liquidity concerns and inflation;
-- the use or availability of third-party assets upon which our operations
depend and over which we have little or no control;
-- the currency exchange rate of the Canadian dollar to the United States
dollar;
-- the deferral of current revenue recognition attributable to deficiency
payments received from customers who fail to ship or move their minimum
contracted volumes;
-- significant under-utilization of our assets and facilities;
-- increased costs, or lack of availability, of insurance;
-- fluctuations in the debt and equity markets, including the price of our
units at the time of vesting under our long-term incentive plans;
-- risks related to the development and operation of our assets; and
-- other factors and uncertainties inherent in the transportation, storage,
terminalling and marketing of crude oil, as well as in the processing,
transportation, fractionation, storage and marketing of NGL as discussed
in the Partnerships' filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
