The top line still grew 4.0% year over year, underscoring steady underlying demand for the partnership's midstream services. The quarter's headline result was a record Adjusted EBITDA of $617.88 million, powered by sequential throughput growth across all product lines, including record Delaware Basin natural-gas volumes of 2.1 Bcf/d. The most transformative development, however, was WES's agreement to acquire Aris Water Solutions in a deal valued at approximately $2.00 billion, which is expected to add roughly $40.00 million in annualized cost synergies and be accretive to 2026 Free Cash Flow per unit. Management reaffirmed its 2025 Adjusted EBITDA guidance of $2.35 billion to $2.55 billion, keeping the partnership well-positioned as investors continue to weigh midstream MLPs for their distribution stability and cash flow durability.

Key Takeaways

  • Record Delaware Basin natural-gas throughput of 2.1 Bcf/d, up 7% sequentially
  • Record Delaware Basin crude-oil and NGLs throughput of 269 MBbls/d, up 5% sequentially
  • Record Delaware Basin produced-water throughput of 1,242 MBbls/d, up 4% sequentially

  • Productivity and efficiency focus resulting in cost reductions and process improvements
  • Fee-based contract structure protecting cash flows from commodity price volatility
