Keyera Announces 2026 Third Quarter Results and 2027 Guidance

CALGARY, AB, Nov. 10, 2026 /CNW/ — Keyera Corp. (TSX: KEY) (“Keyera”, the “company” or “our”) today announced its results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2026. To view our Management’s Discussion and Analysis (the “MD&A”) and financial statements, visit either Keyera’s website or its filings on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.

“The third quarter marked an important milestone for Keyera, with the first full-quarter contributions from the Plains acquisition and our increased ownership in KAPS,” said Dean Setoguchi, President and CEO. “We are making strong progress integrating our expanded platform, advancing growth projects on time and on budget, and securing new opportunities supported by growing customer demand. While reliability at AEF remains a challenge, we are focused on executing our plan to restore sustained performance. Our priority remains disciplined execution and delivering on our commitments to customers and shareholders.”

Third Quarter Highlights

• Financial Results 
  • Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization¹ (“adjusted EBITDA”) were $462 million (Q3 2025 – $281 million), or $466 million excluding Plains transaction and integration costs. The increase primarily reflects the first full-quarter contributions from the Plains Canadian NGL business and Keyera’s additional 50% interest in KAPS, together with higher volumes across the integrated system, partially offset by planned maintenance, the Line 5 disruption and lower utilization at Alberta EnviroFuels (“AEF”).
  • Distributable cash flow¹ (“DCF”) was $244 million, or $0.83 per share (Q3 2025 – $181 million, or $0.79 per share), or $247 million and $0.84 per share excluding Plains transaction and integration costs.
  • Net loss was $68 million (Q3 2025 – net earnings of $85 million).
• Fee-based Segment Realized Margin¹
  • Fee-based realized margin¹ increased 53% to $398 million (Q3 2025 – $260 million), driven by the Plains and KAPS acquisitions and continued growth across Keyera’s existing businesses.
  • The Gathering and Processing segment generated realized margin¹ of $125 million (Q3 2025 – $112 million). Strong customer demand supported North region performance, with Simonette and Wapiti nearing full operating capacity. Volumes in the South region remained stable.
  • The Liquids Infrastructure segment generated record realized margin¹ of $272 million (Q3 2025 – $147 million), including approximately $103 million from the acquired Plains assets. Results also benefited from Keyera’s additional ownership in KAPS and strong throughput across the expanded system, partially offset by planned maintenance at Empress and KFS North.
• Marketing Segment Realized Margin¹ and AEF Operational Update
  • The Marketing segment recorded realized margin¹ of $95 million (Q3 2025 – $73 million). Results reflect the impact of the Enbridge Line 5 disruption and lower iso-octane sales volumes due to reduced production at AEF in September. These impacts were partially offset by stronger iso-octane pricing and increased sales of butane.
  • Following the third quarter, heat exchanger performance at AEF deteriorated more rapidly than anticipated, further constraining production. Keyera expects production to remain at reduced rates for the balance of 2026 and plans to undertake an interim outage of approximately four weeks in early January 2027 to complete repairs and restore some operating capacity. AEF is expected to continue operating at reduced rates until the permanent replacement equipment is installed in May 2027, with a return to full production expected by the end of May. The total expected impact on 2027 Marketing realized margin from the outages and reduced production is approximately $85 million.
• Financial Position
  • The company ended the quarter with net debt to adjusted EBITDA² of 3.6 times, above its long-term target range of 2.5 to 3.0 times. Keyera remains focused on deleveraging and returning to within its targeted range in 2028.
• Plains Acquisition Synergy Update
  • Keyera remains on track to achieve its target of $120 million to $140 million in annualized run-rate synergies within the first 12 months following the Plains Canadian NGL business acquisition. As at September 30, 2026, the company had captured or implemented initiatives representing approximately $115 million in annualized run-rate synergies.
  • Beyond the initial 12-month period, Keyera is advancing a growing inventory of additional commercial and capital investment opportunities across its expanded asset base, with further details to be provided as projects advance.
• Growth Projects Progressing On Time and On Budget
  • Execution across Keyera’s major growth projects remains strong, with the KFS North Debottleneck, KAPS Zone 4, KFS Frac III and the ACE Rail Terminal all progressing on schedule and tracking on or below budget. Further details are provided in the MD&A.
• Advancing Capital-Efficient Debottleneck Opportunities to Accommodate Growing Customer Demand
  • To position for expected long-term growth in condensate demand, Keyera is advancing a capital-efficient debottleneck of its wholly owned Fort Saskatchewan Condensate System (FSCS). Through drag-reducing agents and metering upgrades, Keyera expects to increase operable capacity by approximately 15% for a modest capital investment. Existing capacity is highly contracted under long-term take-or-pay agreements, with additional capacity expected to enter service in early 2027.
• 2026 Guidance Update
  • Marketing realized margin¹ is now expected to range between $400 million and $430 million, compared to the previous guidance range of $320 million to $350 million announced on September 3, 2026. The increase reflects approximately $50 million of incremental realized margin¹ resulting from acquired Plains inventory and associated hedges that were revalued as at the closing date of the acquisition. The revised outlook also reflects stronger-than-anticipated iso-octane margins and increased margins from butane sales. The updated guidance assumes average AEF utilization of approximately 50% for the remainder of 2026.
  • Growth capital expenditures are expected to come in toward the upper end of the previously disclosed guidance range of $650 million to $725 million.
  • Maintenance capital expenditures are now expected to range between $260 million and $280 million, compared to the previous guidance range of $240 million to $260 million. The increase primarily reflects additional maintenance spending across the newly acquired assets.
  • Cash taxes are expected to range between $55 million and $75 million (previously $70 million to $90 million).
• 2027 Guidance

Keyera’s 2027 financial outlook and longer-term fee-based growth targets are summarized below.

CEO’s Message to Shareholders

Positioning Keyera for Canada’s energy growth opportunity. Canada has a generational opportunity to strengthen its position as a global energy superpower. Geopolitical uncertainty continues to reinforce the importance of secure, reliable energy supplies, while greater alignment among governments and industry, supportive policy initiatives and progress on major export infrastructure are creating a more constructive investment environment. Together, these developments have the potential to unlock significant growth in Canadian energy production and the infrastructure required to connect it to global markets.

Connecting production to higher-value markets. Growing oil sands production is driving increased demand for condensate, while the upstream development needed to supply that condensate is also generating greater volumes of natural gas, propane, butane and other natural gas liquids. Keyera’s strategy is to efficiently connect condensate supply to growing oil sands demand, while processing and connecting other NGL products to the high value markets, helping producers achieve stronger netbacks. The acquisition of Plains’ Canadian NGL business and full ownership of KAPS have expanded our integrated platform and strengthened market access. We are further expanding capacity through capital-efficient debottlenecks across our fractionation and condensate systems, while advancing major projects including KAPS Zone 4, KFS Frac III and the ACE Rail Terminal. Strong customer demand and long-term contractual commitments underpin this growth.

Executing on our growth opportunities and operational priorities. The acquired Plains assets are performing ahead of our expectations, and integration is progressing well, with approximately $115 million in annualized run-rate synergies captured or implemented toward our $120 million to $140 million target. We continue to identify additional opportunities to unlock value beyond these initial synergies. All major growth projects remain on schedule and on or below budget. We also successfully completed major planned turnarounds at Empress and the KFS North debottleneck tie-in while managing the unexpected Enbridge Line 5 disruption. At KFS North, the flexibility of our integrated system and storage assets enabled us to maintain uninterrupted customer service throughout the outage. While reliability challenges at AEF continue to affect performance, we remain confident in the underlying fundamentals of our iso-octane business and are taking action to restore sustained reliability through an updated operating approach and planned equipment replacement in spring 2027.

Creating lasting value for customers and shareholders. By helping our customers grow and capture greater value from their production, we create opportunities to deliver sustainable returns for Keyera shareholders. Our expanded platform and contracted growth projects provide a clear pathway to our targeted fee-based adjusted EBITDA per share compound annual growth rates of 16% to 18% from 2025 to 2027 and 7% to 8% from 2027 to 2029, with opportunities for further upside. We remain focused on safe and reliable operations, financial discipline and converting our expanded capabilities into sustainable long-term growth.

On behalf of our Board of Directors and leadership team, I thank our employees, customers, shareholders and other stakeholders for their continued commitment and support. We look forward to delivering on our priorities and contributing to Canada’s energy future.

   Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures

This news release refers to certain financial and other measures that are not determined in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). Measures such as funds from operations, distributable cash flow, distributable cash flow per share, payout ratio, realized margin, fee-based realized margin, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and compound annual growth rate (“CAGR”) for fee-based adjusted EBITDA per share are not standard measures under GAAP or are supplementary financial measures, and as a result, may not be comparable to similar measures reported by other entities. Management believes that these non-GAAP and other financial measures facilitate the understanding of Keyera’s results of operations, leverage, liquidity and financial position. These measures do not have any standardized meaning under GAAP and therefore, should not be considered in isolation, or used in substitution for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. For additional information on these non-GAAP and other financial measures, including reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP measures for Keyera’s historical non-GAAP financial measures, refer below and to Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) for the period ended September 30, 2026, which is available on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca and Keyera’s website at www.keyera.com. Specifically, refer to the sections of the MD&A titled, “Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures”, “Forward-Looking Statements”, “Segmented Results of Operations”, “Dividends: Funds from Operations, Distributable Cash Flow and Payout Ratio”, and “EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA”.

Funds from Operations and Distributable Cash Flow (“DCF”)

Funds from operations is defined as cash flow from operating activities adjusted for changes in non-cash working capital. This measure is used to assess the level of cash flow generated from operating activities excluding the effect of changes in non-cash working capital, as they are primarily the result of seasonal fluctuations in product inventories or other temporary changes. Funds from operations is also a valuable measure that allows investors to compare Keyera with other infrastructure companies within the oil and gas industry.

Distributable cash flow is defined as cash flow from operating activities adjusted for changes in non-cash working capital, inventory write-downs, maintenance capital expenditures, lease payments, including the periodic costs related to prepaid leases, the crystallization of gains and losses on acquired net assets, and common shares issued from treasury to settle LTIP expense. Distributable cash flow per share is defined as distributable cash flow divided by the weighted average number of shares outstanding – basic. Distributable cash flow is used to assess the level of cash flow generated from ongoing operations and to evaluate the adequacy of internally generated cash flow to fund dividends. Distributable cash flow, adjusted for acquisition-related items (net of tax), has also been included.

The following is a reconciliation of funds from operations and distributable cash flow to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, cash flow from operating activities:

Payout Ratio

Payout ratio is calculated as dividends declared to shareholders divided by distributable cash flow. This ratio is used to assess the sustainability of the company’s dividend payment program. Payout ratio, adjusted for acquisition and integration costs, is calculated as dividends declared to shareholders divided by distributable cash flow (adjusted for acquisition-related items).

Realized Margin

Realized margin is defined as operating margin excluding unrealized gains and losses on commodity-related risk management contracts. Management believes that this supplemental measure facilitates the understanding of the financial results for the operating segments in the period without the effect of mark-to-market changes from risk management contracts related to future periods.

Fee-based realized margin includes realized margin for the Gathering and Processing and Liquids Infrastructure segments.

The following is a reconciliation of realized margin to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, operating margin:

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

EBITDA is a measure showing earnings before finance costs, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as EBITDA before costs associated with non-cash items, including unrealized gains and losses on commodity-related contracts, net foreign currency gains and losses on U.S. debt and other, impairment expenses and certain other non-cash items such as gains and losses on the disposal of property, plant and equipment. Management believes that these supplemental measures facilitate the understanding of Keyera’s results from operations. In particular, these measures are used as an indication of earnings generated from operations after consideration of administrative and overhead costs. Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted for acquisition and integration costs, has also been presented.

The following is a reconciliation of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, net earnings:

Compound Annual Growth Rate (“CAGR”) for Fee-Based Adjusted EBITDA
CAGR is calculated as follows:

CAGR for fee-based adjusted EBITDA is intended to provide information on a forward-looking basis (initiating a 7% to 8% fee-based adjusted EBITDA CAGR target from 2024 to 2027). This calculation utilizes beginning and end of period fee-based adjusted EBITDA, which includes the following components and assumptions: i) forecasted fee-based realized margin (realized margin for the Gathering and Processing and Liquids Infrastructure segments as explained in more detail above), and ii) adjustments for total forecasted general and administrative, and long-term incentive plan expense.

From 2025 to 2027, Keyera expects to achieve CAGR for fee-based adjusted EBITDA per share of approximately 16% to 18%.

Following this step change, Keyera is targeting a 7% to 8% fee-based adjusted EBITDA per share CAGR from 2027 to 2029.

The following includes the equivalent historical measure for fee-based adjusted EBITDA and fee-based adjusted EBITDA per share, which is the non-GAAP measure component of the related forward-looking CAGR calculation.
