Where can I find the detailed financial results and 2022 guidance?

The detailed financial results and 2022 guidance are provided in the news release furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this 8-K filing. This exhibit is incorporated by reference into the report.

Does this filing contain unaudited or audited financial statements?

This 8-K filing primarily furnishes a news release announcing results and guidance. While the news release likely contains financial information for the periods mentioned, the filing itself does not explicitly state whether these are audited or unaudited. Investors should refer to the full audited financial statements in ONEOK's subsequent filings, such as the annual report (10-K).

What is the significance of the information being 'furnished' rather than 'filed'?

When information is 'furnished' under Regulation FD (like in Items 2.02 and 7.01 of this 8-K), it means the company is making the information public but is not subject to the same liabilities under Section 18 of the Exchange Act as if the information were formally 'filed.' This is a common practice for earnings releases and other material information that is distributed widely.
