"Since we first reported on the operational and financial impact of Winter Storm Uri in February, we have worked collaboratively with our regulators and legislators to minimize the financial impact to our customers," said Pierce H. Norton II, president and chief executive officer. "We are pleased that legislation has been passed and signed by the governors in Kansas and Oklahoma, and is being considered in Texas, to allow securitization as a means to finance the extraordinary costs associated with the storm. Our customers will benefit from the lower cost to issue securitized debt relative to other alternatives.
"Despite this focus on the storm, ONE Gas has not lost sight of our environmental, social and governance initiatives," added Norton. "We know natural gas will serve a critical role as the nation transforms to a cleaner energy future, with many types of energy resources working together to provide a secure, reliable and affordable energy delivery system. We are committed to continuing to reduce emissions from our direct and indirect operations through existing best practices and new technologies."
2021 WINTER STORM URI
In February 2021, the U.S. experienced Winter Storm Uri, a historic winter weather event impacting supply, market pricing and demand for natural gas in a number of states, including in ONE Gas service territories. Due to the nature of this storm, the company experienced unforeseeable and unprecedented market pricing for gas costs in its Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas jurisdictions, which resulted in aggregated natural gas purchases for the month of February of approximately
On February 22, 2021, the company entered into a
On March 11, 2021, the company issued
Regulatory Update
The Oklahoma Corporation Commission (OCC), Kansas Corporation Commission (KCC) and the Railroad Commission of Texas (RRC) each authorized utilities, including local natural gas distribution companies, to record regulatory assets to account for the extraordinary costs associated with this winter weather event, including but not limited to gas purchase costs and other costs related to the procurement and transportation of gas supply, carrying costs and other operational costs. These costs will be subject to review for reasonableness and accuracy in future regulatory proceedings in each jurisdiction.
In accordance with the regulatory orders, ONE Gas has deferred approximately
Kansas
In April 2021, a bill permitting utilities to individually pursue securitization to finance extraordinary expenses, such as fuel costs incurred during extreme weather events, was signed into law by the Kansas governor. This bill gives the KCC authority to oversee and authorize the issuance of ratepayer-backed securitized bonds issued by a public utility.
Pursuant to this legislation, Kansas Gas Service can submit an application to the KCC for a financing order authorizing extraordinary costs approved for recovery, the period over which costs will be recovered, and other such specifications necessary for the issuance of securitized bonds. The KCC will have 180 days to consider the application. Following KCC approval, the company can begin the process to issue the securitized bonds.
Oklahoma
In April 2021, a bill permitting the state to pursue securitized financing of extraordinary expenses, such as fuel costs, financing costs and other operational costs incurred by regulated utilities during extreme weather events, was signed into law by the Oklahoma governor.
Pursuant to this legislation, Oklahoma Natural Gas will submit an application to the OCC for a financing order authorizing extraordinary costs approved for recovery, the period over which costs will be recovered, and other such specifications necessary for the issuance of securitized bonds. The OCC will have 180 days to consider the application. After issuance of the financing order by the OCC, the Oklahoma Development Finance Authority has 24 months to complete the process to issue the securitized bonds.
On April 29, 2021, Oklahoma Natural Gas submitted an initial application requesting a financing order pursuant to this legislation. In the application, Oklahoma Natural Gas states it will file a motion with all required components pursuant to the legislation for the issuance of a financing order. Upon filing the supplemental motion, the OCC will have 180 days to issue an order regarding Oklahoma Natural Gas' application.
Texas
In April 2021, a bill permitting the state to pursue securitized financing of extraordinary expenses, such as fuel costs, financing costs and other operational costs incurred during extreme weather events, was proposed and is advancing in the Texas legislature. This proposed bill would give the RRC the authority to oversee and authorize the issuance of ratepayer-backed securitized bonds issued by the Texas Public Financing Authority (TPFA).
Pursuant to this proposed legislation, Texas Gas Service will submit an application to the RRC, within 60 days of the legislation becoming effective, for a financing order authorizing the amount of extraordinary costs for recovery, the period over which costs will be recovered, and other such specifications necessary for the issuance of securitized bonds. The RRC will have 90 days to consider the application. If approved, the TPFA will begin the process to issue the securitized bonds.

NON-GAAP INFORMATION
ONE Gas has disclosed net margin in this news release, which is considered a non-GAAP financial metric used to measure the company's financial performance. Net margin is comprised of total revenues less cost of natural gas. Cost of natural gas includes commodity purchases, fuel, storage, transportation and other gas purchase costs recovered through our cost of natural gas regulatory mechanisms and does not include an allocation of general operating costs or depreciation and amortization. In addition, these regulatory mechanisms provide a method of recovering natural gas costs on an ongoing basis without a profit. Therefore, although our revenues will fluctuate with the cost of natural gas that we pass through to our customers, net margin is not affected by fluctuations in the cost of natural gas. Accordingly, we routinely use net margin in the analysis of our financial performance. We believe that net margin provides investors a more relevant and useful measure to analyze our financial performance as a

- the economic climate and, particularly, its effect on the natural gas requirements of our residential and commercial customers;
- the length and severity of a pandemic or other health crisis, such as the outbreak of COVID-19, including the impact to our operations, customers, contractors, vendors and employees, and the measures that international, federal, state and local governments, agencies, law enforcement and/or health authorities implement to address it, which may (as with COVID-19) precipitate or exacerbate one or more of the above-mentioned and/or other risks, and significantly disrupt or prevent us from operating our business in the ordinary course for an extended period;
- competition from alternative forms of energy, including, but not limited to, electricity, solar power, wind power, geothermal energy and biofuels;
- conservation and energy efficiency efforts of our customers;
- adverse weather conditions and variations in weather, including seasonal effects on demand and/or supply, the occurrence of storms, including Winter Storm Uri in the territories in which we operate and the related effects on supply, demand, and costs and disasters, and climate change;
- indebtedness could make us more vulnerable to general adverse economic and industry conditions, limit our ability to borrow additional funds and/or place us at competitive disadvantage compared with competitors;
- our ability to secure reliable, competitively priced and flexible natural gas transportation and supply, including decisions by natural gas producers to reduce production or shut-in producing natural gas wells and expiration of existing supply and transportation and storage arrangements that are not replaced with contracts with similar terms and pricing;
- our ability to complete necessary or desirable expansion or infrastructure development projects, which may delay or prevent us from serving our customers or expanding our business;
- operational and mechanical hazards or interruptions;
- adverse labor relations;
- the effectiveness of our strategies to reduce earnings lag, margin protection strategies and risk mitigation strategies, which may be affected by risks beyond our control such as commodity price volatility, counterparty performance or creditworthiness and interest rate risk;
- the capital-intensive nature of our business, and the availability of and access to, in general, funds to meet our debt obligations prior to or when they become due and to fund our operations and capital expenditures, either through (i) cash on hand, (ii) operating cash flow, or (iii) access to the capital markets and other sources of liquidity;
- our ability to borrow funds, if needed, to meet our liquidity needs including raising the funds on commercially reasonable terms, or on terms acceptable to us, or at all;
- limitations on our operating flexibility, earnings and cash flows due to restrictions in our financing arrangements;
- cross-default provisions in our borrowing arrangements, which may lead to our inability to satisfy all of our outstanding obligations in the event of a default on our part;
- changes in the financial markets during the periods covered by the forward-looking statements, particularly those affecting the availability of capital and our ability to refinance existing debt and fund investments and acquisitions to execute our business strategy;
- actions of rating agencies, including the ratings of debt, general corporate ratings and changes in the rating agencies' ratings criteria;
- changes in inflation and interest rates;
- our ability to recover the costs of natural gas purchased for our customers, including those related to Winter Storm Uri and any related financing required to support our purchase of natural gas supply;
- impact of potential impairment charges;
- volatility and changes in markets for natural gas and our ability to secure additional and sufficient liquidity on reasonable commercial terms to cover costs associated with such volatility;
- possible loss of local distribution company franchises or other adverse effects caused by the actions of municipalities;
- payment and performance by counterparties and customers as contracted and when due, including our counterparties maintaining ordinary course terms of supply and payments;

- advances in technology, including technologies that increase efficiency or that improve electricity's competitive position relative to natural gas;
- population growth rates and changes in the demographic patterns of the markets we serve, and conditions in these areas' housing markets;
- acts of nature and the potential effects of threatened or actual terrorism and war;
- cyber-attacks, which, according to experts, have increased in volume and sophistication since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, or breaches of technology systems that could disrupt our operations or result in the loss or exposure of confidential or sensitive customer, employee or Company information; further, increased remote working arrangements as a result of the pandemic have required enhancements and modifications to our IT infrastructure (e.g. Internet, Virtual Private Network, remote collaboration systems, etc.), and any failures of the technologies, including third-party service providers, that facilitate working remotely could limit our ability to conduct ordinary operations or expose us to increased risk or effect of an attack;
- the sufficiency of insurance coverage to cover losses;
- the effects of our strategies to reduce tax payments;
- the effects of litigation and regulatory investigations, proceedings, including our rate cases, or inquiries and the requirements of our regulators as a result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017;
- changes in accounting standards;
- changes in corporate governance standards;
- discovery of material weaknesses in our internal controls;
- our ability to comply with all covenants in our indentures, the ONE Gas Credit Agreement, a violation of which, if not cured in a timely manner, could trigger a default of our obligations;
- our ability to attract and retain talented employees, management and directors, and shortage of skilled-labor;
- unexpected increases in the costs of providing health care benefits, along with pension and postemployment health care benefits, as well as declines in the discount rates on, declines in the market value of the debt and equity securities of, and increases in funding requirements for, our defined benefit plans; and
- the ability to successfully complete merger, acquisition or divestiture plans, regulatory or other limitations imposed as a result of a merger, acquisition or divestiture, and the success of the business following a merger, acquisition or divestiture.
These factors are not necessarily all of the important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any of our forward-looking statements. Other factors could also have material adverse effects on our future results. These and other risks are described in greater detail in Part 1, Item 1A, Risk Factors, in our Annual Report. All forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by these factors. Other than as required under securities laws, we undertake no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statement whether as a result of new information, subsequent events or change in circumstances, expectations or otherwise.
