ONEOK, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

A.    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Our accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. These statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and reflect all adjustments that, in our opinion, are necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The 2022 year-end Consolidated Balance Sheet data was derived from our audited Consolidated Financial Statements but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. These unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with our audited Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards Update - Changes to GAAP are established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) in the form of ASUs to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. We consider the applicability and impact of all ASUs. ASUs not discussed herein or in our Annual Report were assessed and determined to be either not applicable or clarifications of ASUs previously issued. There have been no new accounting pronouncements that have become effective or have been issued that are of significance or potential significance to us.

B.    MEDFORD INCIDENT

On July 9, 2022, a fire occurred at our 210 MBbl/d Medford, Oklahoma, natural gas liquids fractionation facility. Beginning in August 2022, we developed claims related to the Medford incident and recorded accruals for the expected insurance recoveries. We assessed incurred costs and lost earnings related to business interruption and property damage to our facility, as well as timing of recognition under applicable insurance recovery guidance, and recorded accruals of $151 million in 2022 for insurance recoveries that offset our incurred costs and losses.

On January 9, 2023, we reached an agreement with our insurers to settle all claims for physical damage and business interruption related to the Medford incident. Under the terms of the settlement agreement, we agreed to resolve the claims for total insurance payments of $930 million, $100 million of which was received in 2022. The remaining $830 million was received in the first quarter 2023. The proceeds serve as settlement for property damage, business interruption claims to the date of the settlement and as payment in lieu of future business interruption insurance claims.

In the first quarter 2023, we applied the $830 million received to our outstanding insurance receivable at December 31, 2022, of $51 million, and recorded an operational gain for the remaining $779 million. We classified proceeds received within the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows based on our assessment of the nature of the loss (property and business interruption) included in the settlement.

C.    FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Determining Fair Value - For our fair value measurements, we utilize market prices, third-party pricing services, present value methods and standard option valuation models to determine the price we would receive from the sale of an asset or the transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction at the measurement date. We measure the fair value of a group of financial assets and liabilities consistent with how a market participant would price the net risk exposure at the measurement date. Determining the appropriate classification of our fair value measurements within the fair value hierarchy requires management’s judgment regarding the degree to which market data is observable or corroborated by observable market data. We categorize derivatives based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Our valuation techniques and inputs are consistent with those discussed in Note A of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report.

12

Recurring Fair Value Measurements - The following tables set forth our recurring fair value measurements as of the dates indicated:

	March 31, 2023
	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total - Gross		Netting (a)		Total - Net
	(Millions of dollars)
Derivative assets
Commodity contracts	$	46	$	105	$	—	$	151	$	(106)	$	45
Interest-rate contracts	—		1		—		1		—		1
Total derivative assets	$	46	$	106	$	—	$	152	$	(106)	$	46
Derivative liabilities
Commodity contracts	$	(23)	$	(66)	$	—	$	(89)	$	89	$	—
Total derivative liabilities	$	(23)	$	(66)	$	—	$	(89)	$	89	$	—

(a) - Derivative assets and liabilities are presented in our Consolidated Balance Sheet on a net basis. We net derivative assets and liabilities when a legally enforceable master-netting arrangement exists between the counterparty to a derivative contract and us. At March 31, 2023, we posted no cash and held cash of $17 million from various counterparties, which offsets our derivative net asset position under master netting arrangements as shown in the table above.

	December 31, 2022
	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total - Gross		Netting (a)		Total - Net
	(Millions of dollars)
Derivative assets
Commodity contracts	$	15	$	152	$	—	$	167	$	(125)	$	42
Interest-rate contracts	—		11		—		11		—		11
Total derivative assets	$	15	$	163	$	—	$	178	$	(125)	$	53
Derivative liabilities
Commodity contracts	$	(38)	$	(87)	$	—	$	(125)	$	125	$	—
Total derivative liabilities	$	(38)	$	(87)	$	—	$	(125)	$	125	$	—

(a) - Derivative assets and liabilities are presented in our Consolidated Balance Sheet on a net basis. We net derivative assets and liabilities when a legally enforceable master-netting arrangement exists between the counterparty to a derivative contract and us. At December 31, 2022, we held no cash and posted $9 million of cash with various counterparties, which is included in other current assets in our Consolidated Balance Sheet.

The following table sets forth a reconciliation of our Level 3 fair value measurements for the periods indicated:

	Three Months Ended
	March 31,
Derivative Assets (Liabilities)	2023		2022
	(Millions of dollars)
Net liabilities at beginning of period	$	—	$	(114)
Total changes in fair value:
Settlements included in net income (a)	—		38
New Level 3 derivatives included in other comprehensive income (b)	—		(1)
Unrealized change included in other comprehensive income (b)	—		(113)
Net liabilities at end of period	$	—	$	(190)

(a) - Included in commodity sales revenues/cost of sales and fuel in our Consolidated Statements of Income.

(b) - Included in change in fair value of derivatives in our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.

During the year ended December 31, 2022, we transferred out of Level 3 commodity derivatives associated with certain locations for both NGL and natural gas basis swaps, principally due to improved transparency of market prices as a result of the volume and frequency of transactions in these markets. We consider the valuation of these commodity derivatives, which are transacted through a clearing broker and valued with an unadjusted published price from an exchange, as a Level 2 valuation.

Other Financial Instruments - The approximate fair value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and short-term borrowings is equal to book value due to the short-term nature of these items. Our cash and cash equivalents are

13

composed of bank and money market accounts and are classified as Level 1. Our short-term borrowings are classified as Level 2 since the estimated fair value of the short-term borrowings can be determined using information available in the commercial paper market. We have investments associated with our supplemental executive retirement plan and nonqualified deferred compensation plan that are carried at fair value and primarily are composed of exchange-traded mutual funds classified as Level 1.

The estimated fair value of our consolidated long-term debt, including current maturities, was $12.6 billion and $12.7 billion at March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, respectively. The book value of our consolidated long-term debt, including current maturities, was $13.2 billion and $13.6 billion at March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, respectively. The estimated fair value of the aggregate senior notes outstanding was determined using quoted market prices for similar issues with similar terms and maturities. The estimated fair value of our consolidated long-term debt is classified as Level 2.

D.    RISK-MANAGEMENT AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES USING DERIVATIVES

Risk-management Activities - We are sensitive to changes in natural gas, crude oil and NGL prices, principally as a result of contractual terms under which these commodities are processed, purchased and sold. We are also subject to the risk of interest-rate fluctuation in the normal course of business. We use physical-forward purchases and sales and financial derivatives to secure a certain price for a portion of our natural gas, condensate and purity NGLs; to reduce our exposure to commodity price and interest-rate fluctuations; and to achieve more predictable cash flows. We follow established policies and procedures to assess risk and approve, monitor and report our risk-management activities. We have not used these instruments for trading purposes.

Commodity price risk - Commodity price risk refers to the risk of loss in cash flows and future earnings arising from adverse changes in the price of natural gas, NGLs and condensate. We may use commodity derivative instruments to reduce the near-term commodity price risk associated with a portion of our forecasted purchases and sales of commodities. Our exposure to commodity price risk is consistent with that discussed in our Annual Report.

Interest-rate risk - We may manage interest-rate risk through the use of fixed-rate debt, floating-rate debt and interest-rate swaps. Interest-rate swaps are agreements to exchange interest payments at some future point based on specified notional amounts. At March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, we had forward-starting interest-rate swaps with notional amounts totaling $375 million to hedge the variability of interest payments on a portion of our forecasted debt issuances. All of our interest-rate swaps are designated as cash flow hedges.
