The Permian Basin midstream operator posted EPS of $2.16 against a consensus estimate of just $0.33, a 554.55% beat driven almost entirely by a $415.41 million one-time gain on the sale of its equity interest in EPIC Crude Holdings, which closed October 31, 2025. Revenue of $430.42 million grew 11.6% year over year but fell 9.19% short of the $473.99 million consensus, with weak Waha Hub natural gas pricing triggering production shut-ins that cut volumes more than 8% below management expectations. Operationally, the Midstream Logistics segment posted solid 15% Adjusted EBITDA growth to $173.08 million, while full-year record Adjusted EBITDA reached $987.70 million. Questions about the durability of underlying margins have surfaced given the non-recurring profit driver. Looking ahead, Kinetik guided 2026 Adjusted EBITDA to $950 million to $1.05 billion, representing 7% growth at the midpoint, with improving natural gas fundamentals expected as approximately 5 Bcf/d of new Permian takeaway capacity comes online by early 2027.

Key Takeaways

  • Midstream Logistics Adjusted EBITDA increased 15% year-over-year to $173.1 million in Q4
  • Gulf Coast marketing gains partially offset Waha price-related production shut-ins
  • Gas processed volumes of 1.79 Bcf/d, a 3% increase year-over-year
  • $415.4 million gain on sale of equity interest in EPIC Crude Holdings
  • Record full-year Adjusted EBITDA of $987.7 million
