(b) Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (adjusted EBITDA) is a non-GAAP measure. Reconciliation to the relevant GAAP measure is included in this news release. HIGHLIGHTS: • Third quarter 2022 net income of $431.8 million, a 10% increase compared with the third quarter 2021. • Third quarter 2022 adjusted EBITDA of $902.4 million, a 4% increase compared with the third quarter 2021. • In October 2022, ONEOK declared a quarterly dividend of 93.5 cents per share, or $3.74 per share on an annualized basis. • As of September 2022, ONEOK received an MSCI ESG Rating of AAA. • As of Sept. 30, 2022, ONEOK’s annualized run-rate net debt-to-EBITDA ratio was 3.8 times. • ONEOK began a compression electrification project on its Viking Gas Transmission pipeline to improve operational reliability and provide potential future greenhouse gas emissions Exhibit 99.1

The project is expected to cost approximately $95 million and be complete in the third quarter 2023. • ONEOK announced an agreement with several Oklahoma energy companies and organizations to fund an effort to transform the state into a hub for energy technology startups. The effort aims to attract startups to the region by providing access to early-stage venture capital and other resources. THIRD QUARTER 2022 FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE ONEOK’s higher third quarter 2022 net income and adjusted EBITDA, compared with the third quarter 2021, benefited from increased natural gas and NGL volumes in the Rocky Mountain region, higher realized commodity prices and average fee rates in the natural gas gathering and processing segment, higher average fee rates in the natural gas liquids segment and increased storage rates in the natural gas pipelines segment. Net income for the period also benefited from lower interest expense related to increased capitalized interest and lower debt balances, and higher equity in net earnings from investments. Net income for the third quarter 2022 includes the impact of ONEOK’s $5 million property insurance deductible and approximately $30 million of losses related to the 45-day business interruption coverage waiting period associated with the Medford incident. Additionally, third quarter results were impacted by decreased optimization and marketing activities in the natural gas liquids segment, higher operating costs primarily related to outside services expenses and property taxes, and higher income taxes. ONEOK expects total capital expenditures, including growth and maintenance capital, of approximately $1.2 billion in 2022. Expected 2022 capital expenditures increased relative to previous estimates due primarily to acceleration of spend on the MB-5 fractionator and smaller projects that were not previously planned for 2022, such as the Viking compression electrification project in the Natural Gas Pipelines segment. Medford Facility Incident Update ONEOK’s Medford, Oklahoma, NGL fractionation facility remains out of service following a fire at the facility during the third quarter. ONEOK continues to provide midstream services while the facility is inoperable. In September 2022, ONEOK received notice that its insurers agreed to pay an unallocated first installment of insurance proceeds of $100 million. To date, ONEOK has received approximately $45 million of this amount and expects to receive the remainder before year end. ONEOK has applied the cash received to the outstanding insurance receivables. Exhibit 99.1


 
ONEOK Announces 10% Increase in Third Quarter 2022 Net Income Nov. 1, 2022 Page 4 -more- During the third quarter 2022, ONEOK incurred costs subsequent to the 45-day business interruption waiting period of $21.7 million, primarily related to third-party fractionation costs, and recorded a partial impairment charge of $6.7 million, representing the value associated with certain Medford facility property based on limited assessments to date. There is no income statement impact of these incurred business interruption costs or impairment charges, as they are fully offset by insurance receivables. BUSINESS SEGMENT RESULTS: Natural Gas Liquids Segment Adjusted EBITDA for the three and nine months ended Sept. 30, 2022, includes $21.7 million of accrued business interruption insurance recoveries and an approximately $30 million impact from the 45-day business interruption coverage waiting period related to the Medford incident. Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, September 30, Natural Gas Liquids Segment 2022 2021 2022 2021 (Millions of dollars) Adjusted EBITDA $ 484.8 $ 532.2 $ 1,529.8 $ 1,448.1 Capital expenditures $ 169.2 $ 53.8 $ 444.9 $ 225.8 The decrease in third quarter 2022 adjusted EBITDA, compared with the third quarter 2021, primarily reflects: • A $45.0 million decrease in optimization and marketing due primarily to lower earnings on sales of purity NGLs held in inventory and narrower location and commodity price differentials. ONEOK expects an earnings benefit of approximately $17 million on the forward sales of inventory over the next two quarters; and • A $16.3 million increase in operating costs due primarily to higher property taxes associated with ONEOK’s completed capital-growth projects and higher outside services expenses; offset by • A $10.1 million increase in exchange services due primarily to: ◦ $62.6 million in higher average fee rates, primarily related to inflation-based and fuel cost contract escalators, and ◦ $21.4 million in higher volumes primarily in the Rocky Mountain region, offset partially by lower volumes in the Mid-Continent region, offset by ◦ $50.9 million in higher costs, primarily related to fuel and power costs, and higher third-party fractionation costs.

The increase in adjusted EBITDA for the nine-month 2022 period, compared with the same period last year, primarily reflects: • A $106.1 million increase in exchange services (excluding the impact of Winter Storm Uri discussed below) due primarily to: ◦ $159.8 million in higher average fee rates, primarily related to inflation-based and fuel cost contract escalators, ◦ $64.4 million in higher volumes primarily in the Rocky Mountain region and Permian Basin, offset partially by lower volumes in the Mid-Continent region, and ◦ $26.8 million related to wider commodity price differentials and higher related volumes, offset by ◦ $129.3 million in higher costs, primarily related to fuel and power costs, and higher third-party fractionation costs. A portion of the third-party fractionation costs relate to the 45-day business interruption coverage waiting period associated with the Medford incident, and ◦ $12.9 million related to the recognition of proceeds previously considered a gain contingency in the second quarter 2021, and • A $46.2 million increase in exchange services due to the unfavorable impact of Winter Storm Uri in the first quarter 2021; offset by • A $39.2 million decrease in optimization and marketing due primarily to nonrecurring activities in the first quarter 2021 during Winter Storm Uri, and lower earnings on sales of purity NGLs held in inventory, partially offset by wider location and commodity price differentials. ONEOK expects an earnings benefit of approximately $17 million on the forward sales of inventory over the next two quarters; and • A $39.0 million increase in operating costs due primarily to higher property taxes associated with ONEOK’s completed capital-growth projects and higher outside services expenses.

ONEOK Announces 10% Increase in Third Quarter 2022 Net Income Nov. 1, 2022 Page 8 -more- NON-GAAP (GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES) FINANCIAL MEASURES: ONEOK has disclosed in this news release adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (adjusted EBITDA), which is a non-GAAP financial metric, used to measure the company’s financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income adjusted for interest expense, depreciation and amortization, noncash impairment charges, income taxes, noncash compensation expense, allowance for equity funds used during construction (equity AFUDC), and other noncash items. Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors because it, and similar measures, is used by many companies in the industry as a measure of financial performance and is commonly employed by financial analysts and others to evaluate ONEOK’s financial performance and to compare the company’s financial performance with the performance of other companies within the industry. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP. This non-GAAP financial measure excludes some, but not all, items that affect net income. Additionally, this calculation may not be comparable with similarly titled measures of other companies. A reconciliation of net income to adjusted EBITDA is included in the tables. ONEOK, Inc. (pronounced ONE-OAK) (NYSE: OKE) is a leading midstream service provider and owner of one of the nation's premier natural gas liquids (NGL) systems, connecting NGL supply in the Rocky Mountain, Mid-Continent and Permian regions with key market centers and an extensive network of natural gas gathering, processing, storage and transportation assets.
