Keyera Corp.: Steady core growth with acquisition tailwinds to come
Barclays | Keyera Corp.
• Turning to the quarter, we estimate G&P realized margin of C$121mm, flattish to
slightly above 1Q's C$118mm. Our estimate reflects lower q/q volumes overall, reflecting
outages at Wapiti and Pipestone during the quarter. Though South G&P volumes were
modestly up q/q, we note those volumes are less profitable than Northern volumes. Slightly
lower volumes were largely offset by higher fees related to maintenance recovery.
• We estimate Liquids Infrastructure realized margin of C$206mm, above last quarter's
C$141mm. Our estimate reflects partial contribution from both the PAA and KAPS
acquisitions, and we expect contribution to step up more meaningfully in 3Q given it will be
the first quarter with full ownership of the assets. Contribution from KEY's base LI assets (excl.
PAA) reflect lower q/q G&P volumes coupled with a two-week outage to tie in frac II from the
PAA assets.
Longer term, we believe KEY's condensate business is poised to benefit from likely upcoming
incremental WCSB egress given several projects currently under consideration. Incremental
egress could also help underwrite expansions of KEY's G&P business, with more processing
capacity likely necessary to handle incremental volumes as KEY's existing assets continue to
fill up, particularly in the North (read more here).
• Turning to Marketing, we anticipate still relatively subdued 2Q realized margin ($30mm
in 2Q vs. $13mm last quarter) but expect a significant uptick in 2H, in part due to
integration of the PAA Marketing assets. With its June business update, KEY updated 2026
Marketing guidance to C$360mm - C$390mm (previously C$210mm - C$250mm) to reflect its
