This 10-Q provides the comprehensive financial details for Q1 2026, elaborating on the strategic divestiture of the Canadian NGL Business and supporting the recently announced raised full-year Adjusted EBITDA guidance. While GAAP net income and EPS saw a significant decline, primarily due to a $103 million loss from discontinued operations and a $216 million current income tax expense related to the divestiture's restructuring, the company maintains strong liquidity. The divestiture, expected to close in May 2026, is a key strategic move to streamline operations and reduce commodity price exposure. Investors should focus on the successful completion of this transaction and the company's performance in its continuing crude oil operations.
