2026 Adjusted EBITDA Expected Above Guidance Midpoint

Western Midstream Partners, LP expects full-year 2026 adjusted EBITDA above the midpoint of its $2.75 billion to $2.95 billion guidance range, driven by the Brazos acquisition, strong commodity prices and increased customer activity.

3 source passages
Western Midstream Partners 3rd Quarter 2026 Earnings Conference Call We now expect to be above the midpoint of our full year 2026 adjusted EBITDA guidance range of $2.75 billion to $2.95 billion, a range we already raised in conjunction with our second quarter earnings release. This outlook reflects the contribution from the Brazos acquisition, the strong commodity price environment, year-to-date outperformance in the DJ basin, and increased customer activity levels throughout the second half of the year in the Delaware and PRB.

AI Brief

Q3 FY26 earnings call · Nov 5, 2026
Q3 FY26

TL;DR. Third-quarter Adjusted EBITDA rose 12% year over year to $708.3 million, throughput reached records, and management expects full-year Adjusted EBITDA above the midpoint, strong fourth-quarter results and 2027 growth across all three product lines; the distribution was maintained at $0.93 per unit with approximately $1.8 billion of liquidity. Offsetting positives, net income and third-quarter Adjusted EBITDA declined from their comparison periods, unit margins weakened, capital spending will exceed guidance, after-distribution Free Cash Flow was negative, operating costs are expected to rise, and basin and portfolio throughput headwinds remain.

Bullish
  • + Third-quarter Adjusted EBITDA increased 12% year over year to $708.3 million, with $512.3 million of Distributable Cash Flow.
  • + Natural-gas and produced-water throughput reached partnership-wide or basin records in the third quarter.
  • + The 2026 guidance ranges were previously raised by 10% for Adjusted EBITDA, 10% for distributable cash flow and 20% for free cash flow at their midpoints.
  • + Permanent O&M and G&A cost savings from the legacy business have exceeded $125 million.
Bearish
  • − 2026 capital expenditures are expected to exceed the high end of the guidance range because of producer activity and the Solitude investment.
  • − Free Cash Flow after third-quarter distributions was negative $148.5 million because of organic growth capital expenditures.
  • − Full-year 2026 operation and maintenance expense is expected to increase approximately 25% year over year.
  • − DJ and Powder River Basin throughput faces declines, while the southwest Wyoming sale will remove annual natural-gas throughput.
