• For full-year 2016, Williams reported an 8% increase in Adjusted EBITDA over full-year 2015.
• For full-year 2016, Williams Partners reported an 8.3% increase in Adjusted EBITDA over full-year 2015.
• Williams Partners increased Fee-Based Revenues and Lowered Expenses for Full-Year 2016 as additional assets were placed into service.

Alan Armstrong, Williams’ president and chief executive officer, made the following comment:

“We realized strong cash flows from operations in 2016. The fact that Williams delivered 8 percent year-over-year growth in Adjusted EBITDA demonstrates the strength of our proven natural gas-focused strategy. Our well-positioned natural gas infrastructure assets enabled us to once again organically grow fee-based revenues while our disciplined approach drove lower expenses even as we brought new assets online.”
