PLAINS GP HOLDINGS LP 8K

Plains All American Pipeline and Plains GP Holdings reported strong Q2 2026 results primarily driven by the May 12, 2026 sale of their Canadian NGL Business to Keyera, used proceeds to materially reduce leverage, increased 2026 organic growth capital, trimmed maintenance capital guidance, and affirmed their transition to a pure‑play crude oil midstream operator while maintaining a quarterly distribution of $0.4175 per unit.

On August 7, 2026, Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. and Plains GP Holdings reported their unaudited second‑quarter 2026 financial results, highlighted by $1.830 billion of net income attributable to PAA driven largely by an approximately $1.6 billion gain on the divestiture of the Canadian NGL Business to Keyera Corp. completed on May 12, 2026, and disclosed that the Canadian NGL operations are now reported as discontinued operations. The company outlined that sale proceeds were primarily used to reduce debt by about $2.9 billion, lowering its pro forma leverage ratio to 3.3x near the low end of its 3.25x–3.75x target range, and reaffirmed progress on three 2026 strategic initiatives: completing the Canadian NGL sale and transition to a pure‑play crude oil midstream provider, realizing $50 million of expected synergies from the Cactus III pipeline acquisition (with an additional 75 Mb/d expansion underway), and executing $50 million in targeted cost reductions by year‑end 2026. Plains also increased its 2026 organic growth capital budget from $350 million to a range of $400–$450 million for crude oil pipeline and gathering expansions (including in the Permian and Canadian gathering systems), reduced its 2026 maintenance capital guidance by $10 million to $175 million due to timing of the NGL divestiture, and confirmed payment of a quarterly cash distribution of $0.4175 per unit ($1.67 annualized), representing a yield of approximately 7%. The filing further provides extensive reconciliations of non‑GAAP measures such as Adjusted EBITDA, Implied DCF, and Adjusted Free Cash Flow, explains the treatment of discontinued operations related to the Canadian NGL Business, and announces a joint PAA/PAGP earnings conference call and webcast scheduled for 9:00 a.m. CT on August 7, 2026.
