Hess Midstream LP (NYSE: HESM) (“Hess Midstream” or the “Company”) today reported fourth quarter 2025 net income of $168.0 million compared with net income of $172.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2024. After deduction for noncontrolling interests, net income attributable to Hess Midstream was $93.3 million, or $0.72 basic earnings per Class A share, compared with $0.68 basic earnings per Class A share in the fourth quarter of 2024. Hess Midstream generated Adjusted EBITDA of $309.1 million. Net cash provided by operating activities was $245.6 million and Adjusted Free Cash Flow was $207.8 million.

“In 2025, we successfully completed our planned multiyear infrastructure project buildout,” said Jonathan Stein, Chief Executive Officer of Hess Midstream. “We remain focused on reliable operating performance and expect substantially lower future capital spending, supporting growing Adjusted Free Cash Flow that positions us well for incremental shareholder returns and debt repayment.”

On July 18, 2025, Hess Corporation (“Hess”) and Chevron completed the previously announced merger contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of October 22, 2023 (the “Merger”). As a result of the Merger, Chevron is the direct parent of Hess and, therefore, indirectly owns an approximately 37.9% interest in Hess Midstream on a consolidated basis.

Hess Midstream’s results contained in this release are consolidated to include the noncontrolling interests in Hess Midstream Operations LP (the “Partnership”) owned by affiliates of Chevron and, up until May 30, 2025, by Global Infrastructure Partners, a part of BlackRock (“GIP” and together with Chevron, the “Sponsors”). On May 30, 2025, GIP sold all of its limited partner interests in the Partnership and no longer holds a direct or indirect ownership interest in the Company or the Partnership. We refer to certain results as “attributable to Hess Midstream LP,” which exclude the noncontrolling interests in the Partnership owned by the Sponsors.

Financial Results

Revenues and other income in the fourth quarter of 2025 were $404.2 million compared with $395.9 million in the prior‑year quarter. Fourth quarter 2025 revenues included $29.7 million of pass-through electricity, produced water trucking and disposal costs and certain other fees compared with $26.7 million in the prior-year quarter. Fourth quarter 2025 revenues and other income were up $8.3 million compared with the prior-year quarter, primarily due to higher tariff rates and third-party services.

Interest expense, net of interest income, in the fourth quarter of 2025 was $56.7 million, up from $52.2 million in the prior-year quarter, primarily due to higher borrowings under the Company's revolving credit facility.

Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2025 was $309.1 million. Adjusted Free Cash Flow for the fourth quarter of 2025 was $207.8 million.

Hess Midstream owns oil, gas and produced water handling assets that are primarily located in the Bakken and Three Forks Shale plays in the Williston Basin area of North Dakota. More information is available at www.hessmidstream.com.

As used in this news release, the term “Chevron” may refer to Chevron Corporation, one or more of its consolidated subsidiaries, or to all of them taken as a whole. All of these terms are used for convenience only and are not intended as a precise description of any of the separate companies, each of which manages its own affairs.

Non‑GAAP Measures

In addition to our financial information presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), management utilizes certain additional non‑GAAP measures to facilitate comparisons of past performance and future periods. We define “Adjusted EBITDA” as reported net income (loss) before net interest expense, income tax expense (benefit), and depreciation and amortization, as further adjusted to eliminate the impact of certain items that we do not consider indicative of our ongoing operating performance, such as transaction costs, other income and other non‑cash and non‑recurring items, if applicable. We define “Adjusted Free Cash Flow” as Adjusted EBITDA less net interest, excluding amortization of deferred financing costs, cash paid for federal and state income taxes, capital expenditures and ongoing contributions to equity investments. We define “Gross Adjusted EBITDA Margin” as the ratio of Adjusted EBITDA to total revenues, less pass-through revenues. We believe that investors’ understanding of our performance is enhanced by disclosing these measures as they may assist in assessing our operating performance as compared to other publicly traded companies in the midstream energy industry, without regard to historical cost basis or, in the case of Adjusted EBITDA, financing methods, and assessing the ability of our assets to generate sufficient cash flow to make distributions to our shareholders. These measures are not, and should not be viewed as, a substitute for GAAP net income or cash flow from operating activities and should not be considered in isolation. Reconciliations of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Free Cash Flow and Gross Adjusted EBITDA Margin to reported net income (GAAP), net cash provided by operating activities (GAAP) and gross margin (GAAP), respectively, are provided below.
