Hess Midstream LP (NYSE: HESM) (“Hess Midstream”), today announced the execution of a definitive agreement providing for the repurchase of approximately $100 million of Class B units by its subsidiary, Hess Midstream Operations LP, from affiliates of Hess Corporation and Global Infrastructure Partners, a part of BlackRock, Hess Midstream’s sponsors (the “Sponsors”). The terms of the proposed unit repurchase transaction were unanimously approved by the Board of Directors of Hess Midstream’s general partner, based on the unanimous approval and recommendation of its conflicts committee composed solely of independent directors.

“We continue to execute unit repurchase transactions as part of our unique financial strategy, which highlights our differentiated ability to deliver significant shareholder returns while also maintaining balance sheet strength,” said Jonathan Stein, Chief Financial Officer of Hess Midstream. “Since the beginning of 2021 through this current transaction, we will have returned $1.95 billion to shareholders through ongoing unit repurchases from our Sponsors. Following this unit repurchase, which is expected to provide immediate accretion to our shareholders, we expect to continue to have more than $1.25 billion of financial flexibility through 2026 that can be used to support potential incremental unit repurchases.”

Pursuant to the terms of the repurchase agreement, the repurchased units will be cancelled upon the closing of the unit repurchase transaction, which is expected to result in increased distributable cash flow per Class A share providing capacity for incremental distribution growth above Hess Midstream’s annual distribution target of at least 5% through 2026, consistent with Hess Midstream’s return of capital framework.
