RECENT HIGHLIGHTS
- Processed record Delaware Basin natural-gas throughput of 1.57 Bcf/d for the first quarter, representing a 3-percent sequential-quarter increase.
- Gathered record Delaware Basin produced-water throughput of 977 MBbls/d for the first quarter, representing a 13-percent sequential-quarter increase.
- After quarter end, executed a long-term amendment to Occidental’s natural-gas processing agreement in the Delaware Basin to provide up to 300 MMcf/d of additional firm-processing capacity supported by significant corresponding minimum-volume commitments.
- In conjunction with the Delaware Basin processing agreement amendment, executed an amendment to Occidental’s natural-gas gathering agreement in the Delaware Basin extending the original term by three years through 2035.
- Obtained investment-grade status, and subsequent to quarter end, closed an offering of $750.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 6.150% senior notes due 2033.
- Retired $213.1 million of floating rate senior notes in January of 2023.
- After quarter end, executed an amendment to the revolving credit facility extending the maturity to April of 2028 for an aggregate principal amount of up to $2.0 billion, which currently is undrawn.
On May 15, 2023, WES will pay its first-quarter 2023 per-unit distribution of $0.856, which includes the Partnership’s quarterly Base Distribution of $0.500 per unit and an Enhanced Distribution of $0.356 per unit pertaining to the Partnership’s 2022 financial performance. Through quarter-end, total common unit repurchases increased to $494.7 million of the $1.250 billion repurchase program, which runs through December 31, 2024. First-quarter 2023 Free cash flow(1) after distributions totaled $(55.0) million. First-quarter 2023 capital expenditures(2) totaled $179.3 million.
First-quarter 2023 natural-gas throughput(3) averaged 4.1 Bcf/d, representing a 3-percent sequential-quarter decrease. First-quarter 2023 throughput for crude-oil and NGLs assets(3) averaged 611 MBbls/d, representing a 6-percent sequential-quarter decrease. First-quarter 2023 throughput for produced-water assets(3) averaged 957 MBbls/d, representing a 12-percent sequential-quarter increase.
“In the Delaware Basin, strong producer activity levels led to increased throughput across all three products and resulted in record natural-gas and produced-water throughput,” said Michael Ure, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Despite continued growth in the Delaware Basin, overall natural-gas and crude-oil throughput declined sequentially due to expected declines in the DJ Basin, reduced throughput from our equity investments, and inclement weather that impacted our legacy Rocky Mountain assets in Utah and Wyoming. Additionally, increased sequential gross margin from the Delaware Basin was offset by the expected reduction in deficiency revenue and margin from non-core assets and reduced gross margin contribution from equity investments, primarily due to the sale of Cactus II in 2022. With that said, we expect quarterly profitability to gradually improve as throughput increases for the remainder of the year.”
Mr. Ure continued, “Our commercial team continues to generate substantial value for our partnership. Since this time last year, and inclusive of the new amendments with Occidental, we have now executed agreements providing up to 950 MMcf/d of firm processing commitments with some of our largest customers.”
“Additionally, we continue to see strong producer forecasts from our Delaware Basin customers, which may require us to increase our processing capacity at our West Texas complex to satisfy future volume growth. We will update the market in due time of any changes that could potentially affect our previously disclosed capital expenditures and Free cash flow guidance ranges. With that said, we are committed to safely meeting the processing needs of our customers, growing our Delaware Basin footprint, and continuing to generate meaningful value for our stakeholders,” concluded Mr. Ure.

Western Midstream Partners, LP
RECONCILIATION OF GAAP TO NON-GAAP MEASURES
WES defines Adjusted gross margin attributable to Western Midstream Partners, LP (“Adjusted gross margin”) as total revenues and other (less reimbursements for electricity-related expenses recorded as revenue), less cost of product, plus distributions from equity investments, and excluding the noncontrolling interest owners’ proportionate share of revenues and cost of product.
WES defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss), plus (i) distributions from equity investments, (ii) non-cash equity-based compensation expense, (iii) interest expense, (iv) income tax expense, (v) depreciation and amortization, (vi) impairments, and (vii) other expense (including lower of cost or market inventory adjustments recorded in cost of product), less (i) gain (loss) on divestiture and other, net, (ii) gain (loss) on early extinguishment of debt, (iii) income from equity investments, (iv) interest income, (v) income tax benefit, (vi) other income, and (vii) the noncontrolling interest owners’ proportionate share of revenues and expenses.
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. Management considers Free cash flow an appropriate metric for assessing capital discipline, cost efficiency, and balance-sheet strength. Although Free cash flow is the metric used to assess WES’s ability to make distributions to unitholders, this measure should not be viewed as indicative of the actual amount of cash that is available for distributions or planned for distributions for a given period. Instead, Free cash flow should be considered indicative of the amount of cash that is available for distributions, debt repayments, and other general partnership purposes.
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.
