TR TARGA Targa Resources Corp. Reports Record Second Quarter 2026 Financial Results August 6 , 2026 HOUSTON , Aug. 06 , 2026 ( GLOBE NEWSWIRE ) -- Targa Resources Corp. ( NYSE : TRGP ) ( " TRGP , " the “ Company ” or “ Targa ” ) today reported second quarter 2026 results . Second quarter 2026 net income attributable to Targa Resources Corp. was $ 765 million compared to $ 629 million for the second quarter of 2025. The Company reported adjusted earnings before interest , income taxes , depreciation and amortization , and other non - cash items ( " adjusted EBITDA " ) ( 1 ) of $ 1,603 million for the second quarter of 2026 compared to $ 1,163 million for the second quarter of 2025 . Highlights • Record adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of $ 1.6 billion , an increase of 38 % year - over - year and a 14 % increase compared to the first quarter • Record Permian inlet , NGL transportation , fractionation , and LPG export volumes during the second quarter • Commenced operations of our Train 11 fractionator and Delaware Express NGL Pipeline expansion during the second quarter • Commenced operations of our new East Driver processing plant in Permian Midland late in the second quarter , ahead of schedule • Estimate full year 2026 adjusted EBITDA to be towards the top end of $ 5.7 billion to $ 5.9 billion range • Continue to estimate 2026 net growth capital expenditures of approximately $ 4.5 billion On July 16 , 2026 , the Company declared a quarterly cash dividend of $ 1.25 per common share , or $ 5.00 per common share on an annualized basis , for the second quarter of 2026. This dividend represents a 25 percent increase over the common dividend declared with respect to the second quarter of 2025. Total cash dividends of approximately $ 268 million will be paid on August 14 , 2026 on all outstanding shares of common stock to holders of record as of the close of business on July 31 , 2026 . During the second quarter of 2026 , Targa repurchased 308,102 shares of its common stock at a weighted average per share price of $ 259.93 for a total net cost of $ 80 million . As of June 30 , 2026 , there was $ 1,239 million remaining under the Company's share repurchase programs . Second Quarter 2026 - Sequential Quarter over Quarter Commentary Targa reported record second quarter adjusted EBITDA of $ 1,603 million , representing a 14 percent increase compared to the first quarter of 2026 . The sequential increase was driven by higher marketing margin in our Logistics and Transportation ( " L & T " ) segment , record Permian volumes in our Gathering and Processing ( " G & P " ) segment , and record NGL transportation , fractionation , and LPG export volumes in our L & T segment . In our G & P segment , higher sequential adjusted operating margin was driven by record Permian natural gas inlet volumes , partially offset by lower natural gas prices . Permian inlet volumes increased more than 450 million cubic feet per day ( " MMcf / d " ) despite temporary curtailments by certain producer customers in response to negative Waha natural gas prices in the second quarter . In our L & T segment , higher sequential adjusted operating margin was driven by higher marketing margin , and record NGL pipeline transportation , fractionation , and LPG export volumes . Marketing margin increased due to greater optimization opportunities . NGL pipeline transportation and fractionation volumes benefited from higher supply volumes primarily from our Permian G & P systems and the addition of Train 11 early in the second quarter of 2026. LPG export margin increased due to higher volumes and fees . Capitalization , Financing and Liquidity The Company's total consolidated debt as of June 30 , 2026 was $ 19,578 million , net of $ 128 million of debt issuance costs and $ 39 million of unamortized discount , with $ 17,900 million of outstanding senior unsecured notes , $ 600 million outstanding under our Commercial Paper Program , $ 451 million outstanding under our accounts receivable securitization facility ( the " Securitization Facility " ) , and $ 794 million of finance lease liabilities . Total consolidated liquidity as of June 30 , 2026 was approximately $ 3.2 billion , including $ 2.9 billion available under the TRGP Revolver , $ 149 million under the Securitization Facility and $ 132 million of cash . In July 2026 , Targa amended the Securitization Facility to , among other things , extend the facility termination date to July 30 , 2027 and increase borrowing capacity to up to $ 800 million . Growth Projects Update In our G & P segment , we commenced operations of our new East Driver plant in the Permian Midland late in the second quarter , ahead of schedule . Construction remains underway on our Copperhead , Yeti , Yeti II , Roadrunner III , and Copperhead II plants in Permian Delaware , and our G & P projects remain on track . In our L & T segment , we commenced operations of our Train 11 fractionator in Mont Belvieu , TX and our Delaware Express NGL Pipeline expansion in
Page 2
the second quarter. Construction continues on our Train 12 and Train 13 fractionators in Mont Belvieu, our Speedway NGL Pipeline, our GPMT LPG Export Expansion, and our Bull Run, Buffalo Run and Forza intra-basin residue gas pipeline projects. Our L&T projects remain on track. 2026 Outlook Given the strength of Targa’s performance through the first two quarters of the year, Targa now estimates full year 2026 adjusted EBITDA to be towards the top end of our $5.7 billion to $5.9 billion range. The higher outlook for full year 2026 is driven by the realization of strong marketing and optimization margin particularly in the first and second quarters of the year, and continued strength of volume growth of our integrated assets across the full year. We continue to estimate net growth capital expenditures to be approximately $4.5 billion , and our estimate for 2026 net maintenance capital expenditures remains unchanged at approximately $250 million.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2026 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2025 Commodity sales were relatively flat due to lower natural gas prices ( $784.8 million) and the unfavorable impact of hedges ( $291.6 million), partially

offset by higher NGL and condensate prices ($597.8 million) and higher NGL, natural gas and condensate volumes ($435.2 million). The increase in fees from midstream services was primarily due to higher gas gathering and processing fees, higher transportation and fractionation fees, and higher export volumes. The decrease in product purchases and fuel reflected lower natural gas prices, partially offset by higher NGL prices, and higher NGL and natural gas volumes. The increase in operating expenses was primarily due to higher labor and maintenance costs in part due to system expansions, and the acquisition of certain assets in the Permian Basin, partially offset by lower compressor rental costs. See “—Review of Segment Performance—” for additional information on a segment basis. The increase in depreciation and amortization expense was primarily due to the acquisition of certain assets in the Permian Basin, higher amortization of right-of-use assets for finance leases, and the impact of system expansions on the Company’s asset base. The increase in general and administrative expense was primarily due to higher compensation and benefits. The increase in other operating (income) expense was primarily due to lower asset abandonment costs. The increase in income tax (expense) benefit was primarily due to the increase in pre-tax book income. Six Months Ended June 30, 2026 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 The decrease in commodity sales reflected lower natural gas and NGL prices ($1,309.2 million) and the unfavorable impact of hedges ($244.1 million), partially offset by higher NGL, natural gas and condensate volumes ($899.6 million) and higher condensate prices ($70.5 million). The increase in fees from midstream services was primarily due to higher gas gathering and processing fees, higher transportation and fractionation fees, and higher export volumes. The decrease in product purchases and fuel reflected lower natural gas and NGL prices, partially offset by higher NGL and natural gas volumes. The increase in operating expenses was primarily due to higher labor and maintenance costs, and taxes in part due to system expansions, partially offset by lower compressor rental costs. See “—Review of Segment Performance—” for additional information on a segment basis. The increase in depreciation and amortization expense was primarily due to the acquisition of certain assets in the Permian Basin, higher amortization of right-of-use assets for finance leases, and the impact of system expansions on the Company’s asset base. The increase in general and administrative expense was primarily due to higher compensation and benefits. The increase in other operating (income) expense was primarily due to recognition of Section 45Q tax credits earned through the Company’s carbon capture and sequestration activities, and lower asset abandonment costs. The increase in interest expense, net, was primarily due to higher borrowings, partially offset by an increase in capitalized interest. The decrease in other, net, was primarily due to the premium paid on the redemption of all of the Partnership’s 6.875% Notes due 2029. The increase in income tax (expense) benefit was primarily due to the increase in pre-tax book income. The premium on repurchase of noncontrolling interests, net of tax was due to the Badlands Transaction in the first quarter of 2025. Review of Segment Performance The following discussion of segment performance includes inter-segment activities. The Company views segment operating margin and adjusted operating margin as important performance measures of the core profitability of its operations. These measures are key components of internal financial reporting and are reviewed for consistency and trend analysis. For a discussion of adjusted operating margin, see “Non-GAAP Financial Measures ― Adjusted Operating Margin.” Segment operating financial results and operating statistics include the effects of intersegment transactions. These intersegment transactions have been eliminated from the consolidated presentation. The Company operates in two primary segments: (i) Gathering and Processing; and (ii) Logistics and Transportation. Gathering and Processing Segment The Gathering and Processing segment includes assets used in the gathering and/or purchase and sale of natural gas produced from oil and gas wells, removing impurities and processing this raw natural gas into merchantable natural gas by extracting NGLs; and assets used for the gathering and terminaling and/or purchase and sale of crude oil. The Gathering and Processing segment’s assets are located in the Permian Basin of West Texas and Southeast New Mexico (including the Midland, Central and Delaware Basins); the Eagle Ford Shale in South Texas; the Barnett Shale in North Texas; the Anadarko, Ardmore, and Arkoma Basins in Oklahoma (including the SCOOP and STACK) and South Central Kansas; the Williston Basin in North Dakota (including the Bakken and Three Forks plays); and the onshore and near offshore regions of the Louisiana Gulf Coast. The following table provides summary data regarding results of operations of this segment for the periods indicated: Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2026 2025 2026 vs. 2025 2026 2025 2026 vs. 2025 (In millions, except operating statistics and price amounts)

For all volume statistics presented, the numerator is the total volume sold during the period, and the denominator is the number of calendar days during the period. (2) Plant natural gas inlet represents the Company’s undivided interest in the volume of natural gas passing through the meter located at the inlet of a natural gas processing plant. (3) Plant natural gas inlet volumes and gross NGL production volumes include producer take-in-kind volumes, while natural gas sales and NGL sales exclude producer take-in-kind volumes. (4) Permian Midland includes operations in WestTX, of which the Company owns a 72.8% undivided interest, and other plants that are owned 100% by the Company. Operating results for the WestTX undivided interest assets are presented on a pro-rata net basis in the Company’s reported financials. (5) Operations include facilities that are not wholly owned by the Company. (6) Badlands natural gas inlet represents the total wellhead volume and includes the Targa volumes processed at the Little Missouri 4 plant. (7) Average realized prices, net of fees, include the effect of realized commodity hedge gain/loss attributable to the Company’s equity volumes. The price is calculated using total commodity sales plus the hedge gain/loss as the numerator and total sales volume as the denominator, net of fees. Negative realized natural gas prices during the second quarter of 2026 were a result of an extended period of negative Waha prices due to significant egress constraint in the Permian Basin. The following table presents the realized commodity hedge gain (loss) attributable to the Company’s equity volumes that are included in the adjusted operating margin of the Gathering and Processing segment: Three Months Ended June 30, 2026 Three Months Ended June 30, 2025 (In millions, except volumetric data and price amounts) Volume Settled Price Spread (1) Gain (Loss) Volume Settled Price Spread (1) Gain (Loss) Natural gas (BBtu) 7.7 $ 5.351 $ 41.2 7.4 $ 2.095 $ 15.5

Three Months Ended June 30, 2026 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2025 The increase in adjusted operating margin was primarily due to higher natural gas inlet volumes in the Permian which drove higher fee-based margin, partially offset by lower natural gas prices. The increase in natural gas inlet volumes in the Permian was attributable to the addition of the Pembrook II plant during the third quarter of 2025, the Bull Moose II plant during the fourth quarter of 2025, the Falcon II plant during the first quarter of 2026, the East Pembrook plant during the second quarter of 2026, continued strong producer activity and the acquisition of certain assets in the Permian Basin during the first quarter of 2026. The increase in operating expenses was primarily due to higher volumes resulting from multiple plant additions and the acquisition of certain assets in the Permian Basin during the first quarter of 2026. Six Months Ended June 30, 2026 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 The increase in adjusted operating margin was primarily due to higher natural gas inlet volumes in the Permian which drove higher fee-based margin, partially offset by lower natural gas and NGL prices.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures This press release includes the Company’s non-GAAP financial measures: adjusted EBITDA, adjusted cash flow from operations, adjusted free cash flow and adjusted operating margin (segment). The following tables provide reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measures. The Company utilizes non-GAAP measures to analyze the Company’s performance. Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted cash flow from operations, adjusted free cash flow and adjusted operating margin (segment) are non-GAAP measures. The GAAP measures most directly comparable to these non-GAAP measures are income (loss) from operations, Net income (loss) attributable to Targa Resources Corp. and segment operating margin. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered as an alternative to GAAP measures and have important limitations as analytical tools. Investors should not consider these measures in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company’s results as reported under GAAP. Additionally, because the Company’s non-GAAP measures exclude some, but not all, items that affect income and segment operating margin, and are defined differently by different companies within the Company’s industry, the Company’s definitions may not be comparable with similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing their utility. Management compensates for the limitations of the Company’s non-GAAP measures as analytical tools by reviewing the comparable GAAP measures, understanding the differences between the measures and incorporating these insights into the Company’s decision-making processes. Adjusted Operating Margin The Company defines adjusted operating margin for the Company’s segments as revenues less product purchases and fuel. It is impacted by volumes and commodity prices as well as by the Company’s contract mix and commodity hedging program. Gathering and Processing adjusted operating margin consists primarily of: service fees related to natural gas and crude oil gathering, treating and processing; and

revenues from the sale of natural gas, condensate, crude oil and NGLs less producer settlements, fuel and transport and the Company’s equity volume hedge settlements. Logistics and Transportation adjusted operating margin consists primarily of: service fees (including the pass-through of energy costs included in certain fee rates); system product gains and losses; and NGL and natural gas sales, less NGL and natural gas purchases, fuel, third-party transportation costs and the net inventory change. The adjusted operating margin impacts of mark-to-market hedge unrealized changes in fair value are reported in Other. Adjusted operating margin for the Company’s segments provides useful information to investors because it is used as a supplemental financial measure by management and by external users of the Company’s financial statements, including investors and commercial banks, to assess: the financial performance of the Company’s assets without regard to financing methods, capital structure or historical cost basis; the Company’s operating performance and return on capital as compared to other companies in the midstream energy sector, without regard to financing or capital structure; and the viability of capital expenditure projects and acquisitions and the overall rates of return on alternative investment opportunities. Management reviews adjusted operating margin and operating margin for the Company’s segments monthly as a core internal management process. The Company believes that investors benefit from having access to the same financial measures that management uses in evaluating the Company’s operating results. The reconciliation of the Company’s adjusted operating margin to the most directly comparable GAAP measure is presented under “Review of Segment Performance.” Adjusted EBITDA The Company defines adjusted EBITDA as Net income (loss) attributable to Targa Resources Corp. before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and other items that the Company believes should be adjusted consistent with the Company’s core operating performance. The adjusting items are detailed in the adjusted EBITDA reconciliation table and its footnotes. Adjusted EBITDA is used as a supplemental financial measure by the Company and by external users of the Company’s financial statements such as investors, commercial banks and others to measure the ability of the Company’s assets to generate cash sufficient to pay interest costs, support the Company’s indebtedness and pay dividends to the Company’s investors. Adjusted Cash Flow from Operations and Adjusted Free Cash Flow The Company defines adjusted cash flow from operations as adjusted EBITDA less cash interest expense on debt obligations and cash tax (expense) benefit. The Company defines adjusted free cash flow as adjusted cash flow from operations less maintenance capital expenditures and growth capital expenditures, net of any reimbursements of project costs and contributions from noncontrolling interests, and including contributions to investments in unconsolidated affiliates. Adjusted cash flow from operations and adjusted free cash flow are performance measures used by the Company and by external users of the Company’s financial statements, such as investors, commercial banks and research analysts, to assess the Company’s ability to generate cash earnings (after servicing the Company’s debt and funding capital expenditures) to be used for corporate purposes, such as payment of dividends, retirement of debt or redemption of other financing arrangements.
