Guidance from management

Management maintained its adjusted EBITDA guidance for 2026 at a midpoint of $245 million, indicating confidence in achieving this target despite current challenges.

What management said

Yes. I'll let Bill kind of handle the details. Definitely a lot of momentum in both segments, as you can imagine, with the improving crude strip. We've seen producers, in some case, look to pick up additional rigs, and we've seen additional wells even kind of finding their way into the back half of 2026. So I think we've got a lot of momentum. And Bill, why don't you kind of fill in on some of the details here?

Yes. Jumping on the end of that, Heath, this is Chris Tennant, Mark. We're having conversations with all of our major customers in that area, really thinking about the next cycle of growth and infrastructure needed to really plan accordingly. So it gives us a lot of confidence when we look forward in those areas.

What analysts pressed on

Analysts expressed concerns regarding the sustainability of throughput growth in the Rockies and the impact of lower natural gas prices on production levels. There were also inquiries about the competitive positioning of the Double E pipeline amidst increasing demand for LNG export capacity.
