Exhibit Number Description - ------------ ----------- Exhibit 99.1 Pro forma Financial Information presenting Williams Energy Partners and Texas Gas Transmission Corporation as discontinued operations

EXHIBIT 99.1 PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION PRESENTING WILLIAMS ENERGY PARTNERS AND TEXAS GAS TRANSMISSION CORPORATION AS DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS As previously announced on February 20, 2003, Williams reported it intended to offer for sale its general partner and limited partner interests in Williams Energy Partners and its 5,800-mile Texas Gas pipeline system. In April 2003, Williams' Board of Directors approved resolutions that authorized management to execute and deliver, in the name of the sellers, agreements for the sales of the above mentioned businesses. The following unaudited pro forma financial information is included to supplement Williams' previously issued consolidated statements of operations and balance sheets included in Williams' Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2003, to present the operations of Williams Energy Partners and Texas Gas as discontinued operations. The combined revenues of these operations previously included in consolidated revenues as reported in Williams' Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q were $187.4 million and $168.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively, and the combined net loss of these entities previously included in income (loss) from continuing operations was $27.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and the combined net income of these entities previously included in income (loss) from continuing operations was $38.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002. The unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of operations does not reflect any potential gain or loss related to the expected sales. Consistent with Williams' previously issued consolidated financial statements, other assets and/or businesses are also reported as discontinued operations, those being Kern River, Central, soda ash mining operations, Mid-America and Seminole pipelines, Midsouth refinery and related assets, Williams travel centers, and bio-energy facilities. For comparative purposes, income (loss) from continuing operations as reported in Williams' Form 10-Q was a loss of $57.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and income of $98.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002. Additionally, the reported income from discontinued operations was $4.5 million and $9.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The unaudited pro forma financial information on the following pages should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements and notes thereto included in the Williams Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2003 and other information filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
