RECENT HIGHLIGHTS

    --  Gathered record natural-gas throughput in the Delaware and DJ Basins of
        1.9 Bcf/d and 1.5 Bcf/d, respectively, representing 6-percent
        sequential-quarter increases from both basins.
    --  Gathered record total operated crude-oil and NGLs throughput of 396
        MBbls/d, representing a 6-percent sequential-quarter increase.
    --  Gathered record Delaware Basin crude-oil and NGLs throughput of 241
        MBbls/d, representing a 7-percent sequential-quarter increase.
    --  Achieved sequential-quarter throughput growth for crude-oil and NGLs in
        the DJ Basin of 5-percent.
    --  Executed multiple commercial agreements with new and existing
        third-party customers for natural-gas and produced-water gathering in
        the Delaware Basin.
    --  Executed an amendment to DCP Midstream's, now Phillips 66's ("P66"),
        natural-gas processing agreement in the DJ Basin to extend the original
        firm-processing capacity of 175 MMcf/d from 2027 to 2029. Additionally,
        this multi-year amendment provides P66 with an incremental 200 MMcf/d of
        firm-processing capacity, primarily supported by minimum-volume
        commitments, starting in 2026.
    --  Subsequent to quarter-end, executed agreements with various customers
        supporting The Williams Companies' Mountain West Pipeline expansion to
        provide up to 110 MMcf/d of natural-gas firm-processing capacity at our
        Chipeta facility in the Uinta Basin.
    --  Subsequent to quarter-end, executed a multi-year natural-gas processing
        agreement with Kinder Morgan, Inc. ("Kinder Morgan") in support of its
        Altamont Green River Pipeline project providing for up to 150 MMcf/d of
        firm-processing capacity at our Chipeta processing facility in the Uinta
        Basin.
    --  As previously announced, closed the sale of the Marcellus Interest
        gathering system early in the second-quarter.
    --  As previously announced, repurchased $134.9 million of senior notes in
        the open market during the second quarter, bringing the year-to-date
        total to $150.0 million at an average of 96% of par.
    --  Reduced total debt by $762.6 million since year-end 2023 with asset sale
        proceeds, which helped achieve our long-term net leverage threshold of
        3.0x earlier than expected.

On August 14, 2024, WES will pay its second-quarter 2024 per-unit Base Distribution of $0.875, which is in-line with the prior quarter's Base Distribution. Second-quarter 2024 Free cash flow((1)) after distributions totaled $84.0 million. Second-quarter 2024 capital expenditures((2) )totaled $207.5 million.

Second-quarter 2024 natural-gas throughput((3)) averaged 5.0 Bcf/d, flat quarter-over-quarter due to strong throughput growth in our core basins offset by the sale of the Marcellus assets early in the second-quarter. Second-quarter 2024 operated throughput from natural-gas assets averaged 4.6 Bcf/d, representing a 3-percent sequential-quarter increase. Second-quarter 2024 throughput for crude-oil and NGLs assets((3)) averaged 515 MBbls/d, representing a 9-percent sequential-quarter decrease as a result of the equity investments asset sales which closed throughout the first quarter. Second-quarter 2024 operated throughput from crude-oil and NGLs assets averaged 396 MBbls/d, representing a 6-percent sequential-quarter increase. Second-quarter 2024 throughput for produced-water assets((3)) averaged 1,080 MBbls/d, representing a 4-percent sequential-quarter decrease.

"The second quarter was another strong quarter operationally for WES, with robust system operability contributing to operated natural-gas and crude-oil and NGLs throughput growth," said Michael Ure, President and Chief Executive Officer. "As a result, we experienced several throughput records during the quarter including record throughput for natural-gas in both the Delaware and DJ Basins, record total operated crude-oil and NGLs throughput, and record Delaware Basin crude-oil and NGLs throughput. Additionally, we experienced sequential-quarter throughput growth for both natural-gas and crude-oil and NGLs from our Powder River Basin assets of 5-percent and 9-percent, respectively. When taken together, this continued growth gives us confidence in our increased throughput expectations for all products for the year."

"As expected, second-quarter Adjusted EBITDA declined 5-percent sequentially due to lower distributions from equity investments as a result of the previously announced asset divestitures, higher seasonally-driven operation and maintenance expense, and more normalized property and other taxes. We anticipate throughput to continue to grow throughout the remainder of the year, which will drive 2024 Adjusted EBITDA and Free cash flow towards the high end of our previously disclosed guidance ranges."

"During the second quarter, our commercial teams successfully executed numerous agreements with both new and existing customers in our most active basins. In the Delaware Basin, we executed several third-party natural-gas and produced-water gathering agreements, which will begin to benefit WES in the second half of 2024, and to a larger extent, in 2025. Additionally, we executed numerous agreements in both the DJ and Uinta Basins. We are excited to see a return to growth in these basins, and in fact, if these agreements are fully utilized, we could potentially see our plants reach full utilization starting in 2026. In the Powder River Basin, we continue to experience increased throughput from existing customers on our system as we fully integrate the Meritage assets, and customers begin to allocate incremental capital to the basin."

"Focusing on our capital-return framework, since our January 2020 bond offering, we have reduced our senior notes on a net basis by $942.6 million, paid out approximately $3.5 billion to unitholders through Base and Enhanced Distributions, and bought back over $1.1 billion of our common units, or 15-percent of the unaffected unit count. Going forward, we will continue to prudently allocate capital to efficiently grow our business through expansion-oriented capital spending and accretive M&A. Finally, we expect to use the Base Distribution, and our Enhanced Distribution framework, as the primary tools for returning incremental capital to unitholders. We believe our strong operating model, prudent capital allocation principles, and our transparent capital-return framework will further position WES as a leader within the midstream space," concluded Mr. Ure.

WES defines Free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities less total capital expenditures and contributions to equity investments, plus distributions from equity investments in excess of cumulative earnings.

Below are reconciliations of (i) gross margin (GAAP) to Adjusted gross margin (non-GAAP), (ii) net income (loss) (GAAP) and net cash provided by operating activities (GAAP) to Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP), and (iii) net cash provided by operating activities (GAAP) to Free cash flow (non-GAAP), as required under Regulation G of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Management believes that Adjusted gross margin, Adjusted EBITDA, and Free cash flow are widely accepted financial indicators of WES's financial performance compared to other publicly traded partnerships and are useful in assessing WES's ability to incur and service debt, fund capital expenditures, and make distributions. Adjusted gross margin, Adjusted EBITDA, and Free cash flow as defined by WES, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Therefore, WES's Adjusted gross margin, Adjusted EBITDA, and Free cash flow should be considered in conjunction with net income (loss) attributable to Western Midstream Partners, LP and other applicable performance measures, such as gross margin or cash flows provided by operating activities.
