Press Release
CALGARY, AB, Feb. 12, 2026 – Keyera Corp. (TSX: KEY) (“Keyera”) announced its fourth quarter and year-end financial results today, the highlights of which are included in this news release. To view Management’s Discussion and Analysis (the “MD&A”) and financial statements, visit either Keyera’s website or its filings on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.
“2025 was a transformational year for Keyera as we meaningfully advanced our strategy to strengthen and extend our integrated NGL value chain,” said Dean Setoguchi, President and CEO. “We achieved this through the sanctioning of three major growth projects, a strategic tuck-in acquisition in Gathering and Processing, and the transformational acquisition of Plains’ Canadian NGL business, all while delivering record annual fee-based segment margin contributions. Upon closing, the acquisition of Plains’ Canadian NGL business will expand our national platform, brings critical Canadian energy infrastructure under Canadian ownership, and strengthens our ability to reinvest in Canada while delivering greater reliability, competitiveness, and value for customers across the country. Looking ahead, our focus is on safe and successful execution of our growth program and, following completion of the transaction, the integration of Plains to unlock synergies and drive long-term shareholder value.”
Fourth Quarter and Year-End Highlights
Growth Projects Progressing on Time and On Budget
Over the quarter, Keyera’s major projects under construction progressed well. All projects remain on track to be delivered on time and on budget:
2025 Guidance Results
2026 Stand-alone Guidance (Pre-Plains Closing)
Keyera is providing a summary of its 2026 stand-alone guidance ahead of the closing of the Plains acquisition.
On January 19, 2026, Keyera announced an extended unplanned outage at the Alberta Envirofuels Facility (“AEF”) to address a component failure involving long-life equipment that had been replaced approximately three years ago as part of the facility’s ongoing maintenance and reliability programs. An investigation into the cause of the early equipment failure is ongoing. Based on the expected timing required to fabricate, deliver, and install replacement components, AEF is currently expected to return to service in May 2026. During the outage period, Keyera plans to complete the previously scheduled six-week major turnaround originally planned for fall 2026, eliminating the need for a separate shutdown later in the year. The guidance summarized below includes the previously announced impacts of the extended unplanned outage.
Leadership Update
As Keyera prepares for the closing of the Plains acquisition, the Company has reorganized its leadership reporting structure to better position the business for its next phase of growth. The updated structure is designed to drive competitiveness across Keyera’s integrated platform by strengthening accountability, improving coordination across business units, and enhancing the Company’s ability to execute efficiently.
Under the new structure, Brad Slessor has been appointed Senior Vice President, G&P & NGL Pipelines Business Unit, with responsibility for gas gathering and processing operations and NGL pipeline assets. Brad was previously Vice President, G&P & KAPS Business Development and has been promoted to the role.
Jamie Urquhart will assume the role of Senior Vice President, Liquids Business Unit, overseeing Keyera’s liquids infrastructure assets, including fractionation, storage, and terminals, and the Company’s Marketing business.
Following the implementation of the updated leadership structure, Jarrod Beztilny, Senior Vice President, Operations and Engineering, has decided to voluntarily depart the Company to pursue other interests.
“This organizational structure strengthens our ability to compete and execute as we continue to grow and integrate the business,” said Dean Setoguchi, President and Chief Executive Officer. “I would like to congratulate Brad on his promotion and expanded responsibilities. On behalf of the Board of Directors and the entire Keyera team, I also want to thank Jarrod for his contributions to the Company.”
These changes are effective February 2, 2026.

CEO’s Message to Shareholders
Delivering a stronger, more integrated platform for long-term growth. 2025 was a transformational year for Keyera as we delivered on our strategy and continued to strengthen our integrated value chain with a clear focus on enhancing the competitiveness of our business. I am very proud of what our team accomplished during the year, including filling available capacity across our asset base to deliver record annual fee-based EBITDA, advancing a disciplined portfolio of capital-efficient growth projects, and taking important steps to further expand and integrate our system. Together, these actions position Keyera for sustained, long-term growth and our ability to compete across the value chain.
Disciplined execution and building a stronger Canadian energy system. Execution remains at the core of our strategy. We are making strong progress on three highly strategic growth projects currently under construction, while also preparing for the post-closing integration of Plains’ Canadian NGL business. Across these initiatives, our focus is consistent: safe and reliable operations, disciplined capital deployment, and efficient project execution. The addition of Plains’ Canadian NGL business is expected to further strengthen our integrated platform, enhancing connectivity, improving operational efficiency, and expanding market access for our customers. The transaction also establishes a fully integrated, cross-Canada NGL system under Canadian ownership, strengthening energy security, supporting long-term competitiveness, and enabling the reinvestment of cash flows back into the Canadian economy. We look forward to welcoming new colleagues and combining their experience with Keyera’s capabilities as we continue to advance our strategy.
Active portfolio management to drive value. We continue to actively manage our portfolio to strengthen our integrated footprint and enhance returns. During the year, we expanded our presence in the Simonette area through the acquisition of a working interest in two gas plants, immediately adding cash flow secured by long-term commitments and further supporting utilization across our downstream assets. At the same time, we divested our interest in the non-core Wildhorse terminal in Oklahoma. Together, these actions reflect our ongoing focus on optimizing our asset base and redeploying capital toward higher-return opportunities aligned with our integrated strategy.
Positioned to grow with a resilient Western Canada basin. Keyera’s long-term growth continues to be underpinned by one of the most competitive and resilient energy basins in the world. Western Canada benefits from low-cost, long-life production and improving access to global markets. With an increasingly constructive policy environment, our integrated infrastructure, disciplined approach to investment, and focus on reliability and efficiency, Keyera plays an important role in supporting a more competitive Canadian energy industry. Our strong financial position and customer-focused approach position the Company well to continue creating long-term value for customers and shareholders.
On behalf of the Board of Directors and management team, I would like to thank our employees, customers, shareholders, Indigenous rights holders, and other stakeholders for their continued support. Together, we will continue to build on our momentum and advance Keyera’s role in supporting Canada’s energy future.
Dean Setoguchi
President and Chief Executive Officer

1 |
Keyera uses certain non-Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) and other financial measures such as EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, funds from operations, distributable cash flow, distributable cash flow per share, payout ratio, realized margin, fee-for-service realized margin and compound annual growth rate (“CAGR”) for fee-based adjusted EBITDA. Since these measures are not standard measures under GAAP, they may not be comparable to similar measures reported by other entities. For additional information, and where applicable, for a reconciliation of the historical non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, refer to the section of this news release titled “Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures”. For the assumptions associated with the base realized margin guidance for the Marketing segment, refer to the sections titled “Segmented Results of Operations: Marketing”, “Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures” and “Forward-Looking Statements” of Management’s Discussion and Analysis for the period ended December 31, 2025. |
