(NEWS RELEASE)   (WILLIAMS LOGO)
NYSE: WMB
Date:   June 25, 2008
Williams Announces 34% Increase in 2008 Earnings Guidance
    2009 Earnings Guidance Up 21%
 
    Growth Projects Drive Capital Expenditure Guidance Increase for 2008, 2009
 
    Today’s Management Meeting with Analysts to be Webcast Live
          TULSA, Okla. — Williams (NYSE: WMB) announced today it has increased its consolidated segment profit and earnings per share guidance for 2008 and 2009.
          Williams has increased its 2008 consolidated recurring segment profit guidance to a range of $3.1 billion to $3.65 billion and earnings per share to a range of $2.30 to $2.80. The previous ranges were $2.5 billion to $3.0 billion and $1.70 to $2.10, respectively. For 2009, Williams has increased its consolidated segment profit guidance to a range of $2.9 billion to $3.8 billion and earnings per share to a range of $2.05 to $2.90. The previous ranges were $2.6 billion to $3.2 billion and $1.80 to $2.30, respectively.
          All consolidated segment profit and earnings per share ranges are presented on a recurring basis adjusted to remove the effect of mark-to-market accounting. A reconciliation of the company’s income from continuing operations to recurring income from continuing operations and mark-to-market adjustments is available as an attachment to this news release. The latest previous guidance ranges were released on May 1, along with the company’s first-quarter 2008 financial results.
          The increase in earnings guidance primarily reflects the company’s more favorable outlook for commodity prices during 2008 and 2009. The more favorable prices are expected to benefit the company’s exploration & production and midstream businesses. A chart attached to the end of this press release includes the guidance updates for the business segments and Williams in total.
          For 2008 the company now expects unhedged natural gas prices ranging from $9.00 to $10.50 per Mcfe (Henry Hub) and crude oil pricing in the range of $100 to $120 per barrel (West Texas Intermediate). Also for 2008, the company now expects average natural gas liquid (NGL) margins of 57 to 68 cents per barrel, up from previous guidance of 42 to 53 cents.
          For 2009, the company now expects unhedged natural gas prices ranging from $8.00 to $10.50 per Mcfe (Henry Hub) and crude oil pricing in the range of $80 to $120 per barrel (WTI). For 2009, the company now expects average NGL margins of 43 to 71 cents per barrel, up from previous guidance of 34 to 55 cents.

Growth Projects Drive Increase in Capital Expenditure Guidance
          Williams also is updating its capital expenditure guidance for 2008 and 2009. The new range for 2008 is $3.03 billion to $3.38 billion, up from the previous range of $2.6 billion to $2.95 billion. For 2009, the new range is $2.63 billion to $3.03 billion, compared with the previous range of $2.3 billion to $2.7 billion.
          Williams’ recent acquisition of 24,000 net acres in the Piceance Basin and the associated increase in drilling activity are the primary drivers of the increase in capital expenditure guidance in 2008 and 2009. The recently announced planned expansion of the Echo Springs cryogenic processing plant is also driving the 2009 increase.
          A chart attached to the end of this press release includes the capital expenditure guidance updates for the business segments and Williams in total.
          While the company has previously stated it was investigating numerous investment opportunities not yet included its capital expenditure guidance, it will now provide capital expenditure expectations for these potential future projects. The inclusion of potential future project expectations is designed to provide investors with Williams’ current views on total potential capital in the given year.
          For 2008, Williams has identified $100 million to $300 million in potential future projects, setting its total potential capital for the year at a range of $3.13 billion to $3.68 billion.
          For 2009, Williams has identified $400 million to $800 million in potential future projects, setting its total potential capital for the year at a range of $3.03 billion to $3.83 billion.
          The company is also reviewing additional investment opportunities it may pursue and add to total potential capital expenditures for 2008 and 2009.
Update on Share Repurchase Program
          In July 2007, Williams announced that its board of directors authorized the repurchase of up to $1 billion of the company’s common stock. The stock-repurchase program has no expiration date.
          Through June 19, 2008, the company has purchased approximately 24.5 million shares for $840 million under the program at an average cost of $34.23 per share.
Today’s Analyst Meeting to be Webcast Live
          Williams’ senior management will discuss the updated earnings and capital expenditure outlook in an analyst meeting the company is hosting today in New York City. The meeting will include highlights and overviews of Williams and the master limited partnerships Williams Partners L.P. (NYSE: WPZ) and Williams Pipeline Partners L.P. (NYSE: WMZ).

Forward Looking Statements Our reports, filings, and other public announcements might contain or incorporate by reference statements that do not directly or exclusively relate to historical facts. Such statements are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. You typically can identify forward-looking statements by the use of forward-looking words, such as "anticipate," believe," "could," "continue," "estimate," "expect," "forecast," "may," "plan," "potential," "project," "schedule," "will," and other similar words. These statements are based on our intentions, beliefs, and assumptions about future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors. Actual results could differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements. In addition to any assumptions and other factors referred to specifically in connection with such statements, other factors could cause our actual results to differ materially from the results expressed or implied in any forward-looking statements. Those factors include, among others: Our businesses are subject to complex government regulations that are subject to changes in the regulations themselves or in their interpretation or implementation; Our gas sales, transmission and storage operations are subject to government regulations and rate proceedings that could have an adverse impact on our ability to recover the costs of operating our pipeline facilities; Our risk measurement and hedging activities might not prevent losses; Natural gas and natural gas liquids and gas prices are volatile and this volatility could adversely affect our financial results, cash flows, access to capital and ability to maintain existing businesses; Our operating results might fluctuate on a seasonal and quarterly basis; Risks related to laws of other countries, taxes, economic conditions, fluctuations in currency rates, political conditions and policies of foreign governments; Legal proceedings and governmental investigations related to our business; Despite our restructuring efforts, we may not maintain investment grade ratings; Institutional knowledge represented by our former employees now employed by our outsourcing service provider might not be adequately preserved; Failure of the outsourcing relationship might negatively impact our ability to conduct our business;


 

Forward Looking Statements (cont.) Our ability to receive services from outsourcing provider locations outside the United States might be impacted by cultural differences, political instability, or unanticipated regulatory requirements in jurisdictions outside the United States; We could be held liable for the environmental condition of any of our assets, which could include losses or costs of compliance that exceed our current expectations; Environmental regulation and liability relating to our business will be subject to environmental legislation in all jurisdictions in which it operates, and such legislation may be subject to change; Potential changes in accounting standards that might cause us to revise our financial disclosure in the future, which might change the way analysts measure our business or financial performance; The continued availability of natural gas reserves to our natural gas transmission and midstream businesses; Our drilling, production, gathering, processing and transporting activities involve numerous risks that might result in accidents and other operating risks and costs; Compliance with the Pipeline Improvement Act may result in unanticipated costs and consequences; Estimating reserves and future net revenues involves uncertainties and negative revisions to reserve estimates and oil and gas price declines may lead to impairment of oil and gas assets; The threat of terrorist activities and the potential for continued military and other actions; The historic drilling success rate of our exploration and production business is no guarantee of future performance; and Our assets and operations can be affected by weather and other phenomena. In light of these risks, uncertainties, and assumptions, the events described in the forward-looking statements might not occur or might occur to a different extent or at a different time that we have described. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Investors are urged to closely consider the disclosures and risk factors in our annual report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 26, 2008, and our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q available from our offices or from our website at www.williams.com.


 

Oil and Gas Reserves and Resource Potential Disclaimer The SEC permits oil and gas companies, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose only proved reserves. We have used certain terms in this presentation such as "probable" reserves and "possible" reserves and "unrisked theoretical resource estimates" that the SEC's guidelines strictly prohibit us from including in filings with the SEC. The SEC defines proved reserves as estimated hydrocarbon quantities that geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in the future from known reservoirs under the assumed economic conditions. Probable and possible reserves are estimates of potential reserves that are made using accepted geological and engineering analytical techniques, but which are estimated with reduced levels of certainty than for proved reserves. Generally under such techniques, probable reserve estimates are more than 50% certain and possible reserve estimates are less than 50% but more than 10% certain. Unrisked theoretical resource estimates are even less certain than those for possible reserves and are not risk adjusted. Unrisked theoretical resource estimates include (i) an estimate of hydrocarbon quantities for new areas for which we do not have sufficient information to date to classify the resources as probable or even possible reserves and (ii) the amount by which we have reduced our probable and possible reserves for existing areas to take into account the reduced level of certainty of recovery of the resources. Unlike probable and possible reserves, unrisked theoretical resource estimates do not take into account the uncertainty of resource recovery and, therefore, are not indicative of the expected future recovery and should not be relied upon. Reference to "Resource Potential" includes proved, probable and possible reserves as well as unrisked theoretical resource estimates that might never be recoverable and are contingent on exploration success, technical improvements in drilling access, commerciality and other factors. Investors are urged to closely consider the disclosures and risk factors in our annual report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Feb. 26, 2008, and our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q available from our offices or from our website at www.williams.com.

Non-GAAP Reconciliations


 

Non-GAAP Disclaimer This presentation includes certain financial measures, EBITDA, recurring earnings, operating free cash flow and recurring segment profit, that are non-GAAP financial measures as defined under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. EBITDA represents the sum of net income (loss), net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization of intangible assets, less income (loss) from discontinued operations. Operating free cash flow is defined as cash flow from continuing operations less capital expenditures, before dividend, minority interest or principal payments and financing transactions. Recurring earnings exclude items of income or loss that the company characterizes as unrepresentative of its ongoing operations. Recurring earnings and recurring segment profit provide investors meaningful insight into the Company's results from ongoing operations. This presentation is accompanied by a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their nearest GAAP financial measures. Management uses these financial measures because they are widely accepted financial indicators used by investors to compare company performance. In addition, management believes that these measures provide investors an enhanced perspective of the operating performance of the Company's assets and the cash that the business is generating. Neither EBITDA nor recurring earnings, operating free cash flow and recurring segment profit are intended to represent cash flows for the period, nor are they presented as an alternative to net income or cash flow from operations. They should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for a measure of performance prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles. Certain financial information in this presentation is also shown including Gas Marketing Services mark-to-market adjustments. This presentation is accompanied by a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their nearest GAAP financial measures. Management uses the mark-to-market adjustments to better reflect Gas Marketing's results on a basis that is more consistent with Gas Marketing's portfolio cash flows and to aid investor understanding. The adjustments reverse forward unrealized mark-to-market gains or losses from derivatives and add realized gains or losses from derivatives for which mark- to-market income has been previously recognized, with the effect that the resulting adjusted segment profit is presented as if mark-to-market accounting had never been applied to designated hedges or other derivatives. The measure is limited by the fact that it does not reflect potential unrealized future losses or gains on derivative contracts. However, management compensates for this limitation since derivative assets and liabilities do reflect unrealized gains and losses of derivative contracts. Overall, management believes the mark-to-market adjustments provide an alternative measure that more closely matches realized cash flows for the Gas Marketing segment but does not substitute for actual cash flows. We also apply the mark-to-market adjustment and the recurring adjustments to present a measure referred to as recurring income from continuing operations after mark-to-market adjustments.
