National Fuel Gas Company Announces Plan to
Separate Its Integrated
Upstream and Gathering Business
Separation to Create Two High-Quality Public Companies, Each with Strong Financial
Profiles, Distinct Growth Strategies and Long-Term Value Creation Opportunities
◾
National Fuel’s Integrated Upstream and Gathering business (“IUG”) will become an independent
public company focused solely on its highly integrated, Appalachian upstream and gathering natural gas assets.
◾
Post-separation, National Fuel will be a 100% rate-regulated natural gas company with utility as well as
interstate pipeline and storage, assets across Ohio, New York, and Pennsylvania.
◾
The separation is expected to be completed in the second half of 2027 and effected through a tax-free distribution of at least 80.1% of IUG shares to National Fuel shareholders.
◾
The Company will host a conference call to discuss the planned separation on October 14, 2026 at 9:00 a.m.
ET.
WILLIAMSVILLE, N.Y., (Oct. 14, 2026) — National Fuel Gas Company (NYSE: NFG) (“National Fuel” or the
“Company”) today announced its Board of Directors approved a plan to separate the Company into two independent, publicly traded companies through a tax-free
spin-off of the Company’s Integrated Upstream and Gathering business. Upon completion of the transaction, National Fuel shareholders will own shares in both National Fuel and IUG.
As independent, focused entities, each publicly traded company will have significant scale and a strong financial profile, positioning each to deliver
long-term growth and sustainable value creation for investors, customers, and employees. The stand-alone businesses are expected to benefit from:
•
Greater capital allocation flexibility to pursue each company’s distinct growth opportunities and
shareholder return priorities, supported by highly experienced leadership teams, strong balance sheets, and more tailored capital structures.
•
Preserving the key benefits of integration that each business realizes today, including the capital efficiencies
provided by IUG’s integrated upstream and gathering operations, and critical operating synergies that support customer affordability and commercial benefits across National Fuel’s regulated businesses.
•
Clearer, more compelling equity stories that increase visibility among investors and research analysts and align
each public company with its natural investor base.
“Our integrated business model has provided us significant benefits for many
years, including the financial capacity and cash flow generation to support transformative acquisitions and strategic investments across the Company. Following the recent closing of our Ohio gas utility acquisition, each business is now a scaled
platform, and post-separation, is expected to have the financial strength to best capitalize on the long-term growth opportunities as independent companies,” said David P. Bauer, President and Chief Executive Officer of National Fuel.
-more-
“After a thorough review, we believe now is the right time to take the next step in National
Fuel’s evolution, with the tax-free separation of IUG positioning the two standalone businesses to build on their strong foundations and pursue the significant opportunities we see across the natural gas
value chain.”
National Fuel: 100% regulated natural gas platform, with highly strategic, growing integrated utility and interstate pipeline and
storage assets in constructive regulatory jurisdictions
Post-separation, National Fuel will be a fully regulated natural gas business with nearly
$5 billion of rate base. National Fuel’s natural gas utilities serve 1.1 million customers across Ohio, New York and Pennsylvania, and its FERC-regulated pipeline and storage business will provide nearly 5 Bcf per day of contracted
natural gas transportation capacity and 77 Bcf of fully contracted natural gas storage services.
Today, National Fuel operates across constructive
regulatory jurisdictions, with significant long-term investment opportunities that are underpinned by ongoing infrastructure modernization programs in each jurisdiction. Additionally, increased natural gas demand, including data center and power
generation needs within our operating footprint, is accelerating the need for new pipeline and storage infrastructure. Together, the importance of continually investing in safety and reliability, along with meeting increasing regional demand for
natural gas, is driving a strong outlook for growth across these businesses.
National Fuel will continue to benefit from maintaining key operating
synergies across its utility and FERC-regulated businesses. From a financial perspective, this business is expected to maintain a strong balance sheet, targeting investment grade credit metrics expected to be in line with some of the strongest in
the utility sector, with no expected need to raise incremental equity capital over the next five years based on current capital plans. This will provide the company with significant financial flexibility to execute on its long-term growth
opportunities. In addition, National Fuel plans to maintain a capital return policy consistent with utility peers.
The existing management teams at both
the Utility and Pipeline and Storage businesses are also expected to remain in place, including David P. Bauer as President and Chief Executive Officer, and Timothy J. Silverstein as Treasurer and Chief Financial Officer. This provides National Fuel
with the continuity of a highly experienced senior leadership team that has a proven track record of operating safely, maintaining strong regulatory relationships, and executing on its financial plans, all while maintaining customer rates among the
lowest in its operating jurisdictions.
Taken together, these attributes are expected to provide National Fuel investors with a compelling risk-adjusted
return proposition, underpinned by attractive, predictable growth, and stable cash flows which support a strong financial foundation.
Integrated
Upstream and Gathering: A premier, integrated Appalachian natural gas business with high-quality assets, and top-tier inventory depth and capital efficiency trends
Post-separation, IUG will be a leading integrated, low-cost, upstream natural gas business, with approximately
1.2 million total net acres in Appalachia and approximately 1.1 Bcf per day of net natural gas production. IUG’s wholly owned gathering assets transport the vast majority of its production, creating a durable competitive advantage through
lower costs, greater operating control, and enhanced capital efficiency. With approximately 5 Tcf of proved natural gas reserves, and more than 25 years of development inventory at very low breakeven prices, IUG is well positioned to build upon its top-tier capital efficiency trends and create long-term value through disciplined capital allocation.
-more-
Since transitioning its development program to its Eastern Development Area in 2023, IUG has delivered
capital efficiency improvements of approximately 25%, enabling IUG to generate increased production and free cash flow per dollar invested. Combined with its integrated gathering platform and portfolio of firm transportation capacity that provides
access to premium markets, IUG is expected to maintain a highly-competitive cash operating cost structure with market access advantages that support high cash margins and long-term value creation.
As an independent entity, IUG is expected to have a strong balance sheet, providing the flexibility to optimize capital allocation, efficiently develop its
premier drilling inventory, and pursue targeted growth opportunities. IUG will continue to be led by its current team, including Seneca Resources and NFG Midstream President, Justin I. Loweth, who will become Chief Executive Officer of the new
company. Maintaining the continuity of the experienced IUG leadership team will further enhance the company’s ability to deliver on its history of operational excellence. The combination of a more focused business model, an experienced
management team, and a high-quality resource base positions IUG to execute its strategy from day one as an independent company.
Transaction Details
National Fuel intends to separate IUG through a pro rata distribution of shares of IUG to National Fuel shareholders in a manner that is intended to
be tax-free for National Fuel and its shareholders for U.S. federal income tax purposes. National Fuel expects to retain an ownership stake of up to 19.9% in IUG after the completion of the spin-off, which it intends to dispose of in a tax-efficient manner to further strengthen its investment grade balance sheet.
National Fuel expects to complete the separation during the second half of calendar year 2027, subject to customary conditions, including the filing and
effectiveness of applicable filings (including a Form 10 registration statement) with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the completion of financing arrangements, and final approval by National Fuel’s Board of Directors.
The Company intends to provide formal guidance for fiscal 2027 in connection with its fourth quarter earnings release in November 2026. IUG will continue to
be included in National Fuel’s consolidated financial results until the separation is completed.
Advisors
Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC is serving as financial advisor, and Veriten LLC served as independent strategic advisor. Skadden, Arps, Slate,
