2025
Targa Resources Corp. Annual Report, Year Ended Dec 31, 2025
Targa Resources Corp. (TRGP) reported a strong 2025, with net income attributable to Targa of $1,923.0 million (up 47% from $1,312.0 million in 2024) and Adjusted EBITDA of $4,957.4 million (up 20% from $4,142.3 million). Total revenues rose 4% to $17,028.3 million, and income from operations increased 24% to $3,331.2 million. Adjusted free cash flow after dividends and growth capital more than tripled to $539.0 million from $140.1 million, reflecting higher cash flow from operations of $4,108.9 million and disciplined growth spending of about $3.34 billion net. Gathering and Processing adjusted operating margin rose 7% and Logistics and Transportation adjusted operating margin rose 17%, driven by Permian plant additions, higher fractionation and pipeline volumes, and stronger marketing margin. The company is investing heavily in growth. Several Permian processing plants, Mont Belvieu fractionation Trains 11 through 13, the Delaware Express and Speedway NGL pipelines, and LPG export expansion are under construction with start-ups spread across 2026 to 2028. Management also completed the $1.25 billion Stakeholder Acquisition in January 2026 and the $1.8 billion Badlands buyout in March 2025. Shareholder returns continued through a $1.00 quarterly dividend and $641.8 million of 2025 buybacks, with $1,373.6 million remaining under authorizations. Balance sheet leverage increased meaningfully. Long-term debt grew to $16.7 billion from $13.8 billion, and total debt obligations reached $17.4 billion, funded by roughly $5.2 billion of new senior notes and a $1.8 billion cash outlay to repurchase noncontrolling interests. Senior unsecured ratings are BBB (Fitch), Baa2 (Moody's) and BBB (S&P), and the company reports compliance with its covenants. Investors should weigh the strong earnings and cash flow growth against higher debt, sizable project execution risk, pending regulatory matters such as the Badlands FERC tariff proceeding and the New Mexico Red Hills penalty order, and continued commodity price exposure.

2024
Targa Resources Corp. Annual Report, Year Ended Dec 31, 2024
Targa Resources Corp. (NYSE: TRGP) reported a strong 2024 operating year, with Adjusted EBITDA rising 17% to $4.14 billion, driven by Permian gathering volume growth (total plant inlet up 10%), higher fee-based revenue (up 19% to $2.49 billion), and expanding Logistics and Transportation margins (adjusted operating margin up 19%). GAAP net income attributable to Targa fell slightly to $1.31 billion, and the company's risk management results were a drag: a $164.6 million mark-to-market loss in the 'Other' segment versus a $275.5 million gain in 2023. Adjusted free cash flow fell 64% to $140.1 million because growth capex climbed to roughly $3.0 billion, reflecting an aggressive build-out of new processing plants, fractionation trains, and pipelines. Balance sheet and capital allocation were active. The company issued $1.0 billion of 5.500% notes due 2035, received rating upgrades to BBB / Baa2 from S&P, Fitch, and Moody's, and entered a new $3.5 billion revolver maturing in 2030. Shareholder returns were significant: dividends were raised to $0.75 per quarter and $754.7 million of common stock was repurchased, with $1.0 billion remaining under authorizations. Liquidity was approximately $2.9 billion as of February 18, 2025. Subsequent to year-end, Targa agreed to acquire Blackstone's 45% interest in Targa Badlands for about $1.8 billion and announced further fractionation and LPG export expansions. Key risks for investors include commodity price exposure (the derivative book moved to a $172.2 million net liability), rising leverage given roughly $14.2 billion of total debt, a pending FERC proceeding on whether the Badlands crude system qualifies for a rate waiver, an NMED proposed civil penalty of about $47.8 million related to the Red Hills facility, and the likelihood of becoming subject to the corporate alternative minimum tax as early as 2026.
Feb 20, 2025
2023
Targa Resources Corp. Annual Report, Year Ended Dec 31, 2023
Targa Resources Corp. (NYSE: TRGP) reported a strong 2023 with adjusted EBITDA of $3,530.0 million, up 22% from $2,901.1 million in 2022, and distributable cash flow of $2,617.2 million, up 15%. Consolidated net income attributable to Targa rose 13% to $1,345.9 million, though net income attributable to common shareholders fell 7% to $835.8 million because of a $510.1 million premium paid to repurchase noncontrolling interests, most notably the Grand Prix Transaction. Revenue declined 23% to $16.06 billion, driven by lower NGL, natural gas and condensate prices, while fee-based midstream revenue rose 13% to $2.10 billion. Gathering and Processing and Logistics and Transportation operating margins grew to $2.08 billion and $1.95 billion, respectively. The company is in a heavy growth phase. Growth capital expenditures rose to roughly $2.2 billion in 2023, and management expects $2.3 to $2.5 billion of net growth capex in 2024 for projects including multiple Permian cryogenic plants, the Daytona NGL Pipeline and fractionation Trains 9 and 10. Adjusted free cash flow fell to $392.7 million from $1,101.5 million, reflecting this spending. Management also proposed raising the quarterly common dividend to $0.75 for Q1 2024, and bought back $373.7 million of stock in 2023 with $770.1 million remaining under the authorization. Balance sheet and credit profile improved. S&P upgraded Targa to BBB in February 2024, and total debt was $13.07 billion at year-end, with $11.53 billion fixed-rate. Liquidity was $2.72 billion. Key risks include commodity price volatility, reliance on Permian drilling activity, rising interest costs (interest expense rose to $687.8 million), regulatory and climate-related pressures on the fossil fuel sector, and the pending Vitol litigation, where the company has appealed a judgment of $129.0 million plus interest.
Feb 15, 2024
2022
Targa Resources Corp. Annual Report, Year Ended Dec 31, 2022
Targa Resources Corp. (NYSE: TRGP) reported a transformative 2022 for investors, anchored by roughly $6.4 billion in acquisitions and a sharp rise in cash generation. Net income attributable to Targa rose to $1,195.5 million from $71.2 million, helped by a $435.9 million gain on the sale of its GCX interest, while Adjusted EBITDA climbed 41% to $2,901.1 million and distributable cash flow rose 48% to $2,278.7 million. Revenue grew 23% to $20.9 billion, driven largely by higher commodity prices and the July 2022 Delaware Basin (Lucid) acquisition for about $3.5 billion, plus the April 2022 South Texas acquisition for $201.9 million. The balance sheet expanded materially and leverage increased. Total debt obligations rose to about $11.5 billion (from $6.6 billion), funded by new senior notes, a $1.5 billion term loan, commercial paper, and borrowings under a $2.75 billion revolver. Management states it was in compliance with debt covenants and has sufficient liquidity (about $2.5 billion as of February 17, 2023). Adjusted free cash flow was roughly flat at $1,101.5 million, as growth capital spending rose to $1,177 million net. Early 2023 brought further commitments, including the $1.05 billion Grand Prix buyout and a $1.7 billion notes offering, with 2023 net growth capex guided to $1.8-1.9 billion. Key risks for investors include the heavy debt load and variable-rate exposure (a 100 bp rise would add about $36 million to interest expense), a net derivative liability of $255.8 million, a pending Vitol litigation with about $129 million principal plus interest at stake, a FERC investigation of the Badlands waiver, and the potential future impact of the corporate alternative minimum tax. The company is also exposed to commodity price volatility, though fee-based contracts and hedging mitigate part of that exposure.
Feb 22, 2023
2021
Targa Resources Corp. Annual Report, Year Ended Dec 31, 2021
Targa Resources Corp. (NYSE: TRGP) reported a 2021 turnaround in its FY2021 10-K, filed February 24, 2022. Net income attributable to Targa was $71.2 million, compared with a net loss of $1,553.9 million in 2020, which had included $2.44 billion of impairments. Adjusted EBITDA rose 25% to $2,052.0 million, distributable cash flow rose 31% to $1,541.4 million, and adjusted free cash flow more than doubled to $1,133.7 million. Total revenues increased 105% to $16.9 billion, driven mainly by higher NGL, natural gas and condensate prices. Gathering and Processing and Logistics and Transportation adjusted operating margins both grew, while the Other segment (mark-to-market hedge losses) swung to a $115.9 million loss. A $452.3 million impairment in South Texas weighed on 2021 results. Capital allocation and balance sheet actions were significant. The company raised its quarterly common dividend to $0.35 per share (annualized $1.40), repurchased the Stonepeak DevCo JV interests for about $925 million, and agreed to sell its 25% GCX interest for about $857 million. It also replaced its existing credit facilities with a $2.75 billion revolver maturing in 2027. Total debt was about $6.6 billion at year-end, with $6.5 billion of senior unsecured notes, and the company's senior unsecured debt is rated BB+/Ba1/BB+, one notch below investment grade. Management guided 2022 net growth capex of $700 to $800 million and maintenance capex of about $150 million, and new processing plants (Legacy II and Midway) were announced to meet producer demand. Key risks include commodity price volatility and hedge losses (the net derivative liability was $316.7 million), counterparty and customer credit exposure, the IRS audit of the CARES Act NOL carryback, COVID-19 uncertainty, climate and methane regulation, and the Vitol litigation over $129.0 million of prior payments plus $10.5 million in damages, which is under appeal. Refinancing and the GCX sale are expected to add liquidity in 2022, but leverage and rating-agency sentiment remain key watch items for investors.
Feb 24, 2022
2020
Targa Resources Corp. Annual Report, Year Ended Dec 31, 2020
Targa Resources Corp. (NYSE: TRGP) closed 2020 with a sharply weaker GAAP result but stronger underlying cash generation. The company reported a net loss attributable to TRC of $1,553.9 million, driven primarily by non-cash pre-tax impairments of long-lived assets of $2,442.8 million, concentrated in Central (Mid-Continent) gathering and processing assets and the full impairment of Coastal operations. Revenues fell 5% to $8,260.3 million, but operating margin rose 35% to $2,375.4 million, supported by Logistics and Transportation growth from Grand Prix, Trains 6-8 and LPG export expansion, plus higher Permian volumes and realized hedge gains. Adjusted EBITDA increased 14% to $1,636.6 million and free cash flow turned positive at $574.9 million, versus a $1,334.5 million deficit in 2019, as growth capital spending fell sharply. Management cut the common dividend to $0.10 per quarter in early 2020 (from $0.91), a move the company says frees roughly $755 million of annual cash flow for debt reduction, and it has been repurchasing stock under a $500 million program (about $91.5 million used through February 12, 2021). Total debt obligations were $7.76 billion at year-end. Liquidity was about $3.2 billion as of February 12, 2021, and both TRC and the Partnership were in covenant compliance. Ratings remain non-investment grade (S&P BB, Moody's Ba3), and the company continues to refinance and extend its maturity profile, including a $1.0 billion 4% note issuance in February 2021. Key forward-looking considerations include continued COVID-19-related demand uncertainty, commodity price volatility, and the pace of producer activity recovery in the Central region. The company guided to 2021 net growth capex of $350 to $450 million and maintenance capex of about $130 million, and it expects the Heim Plant in the Permian to begin operations in Q4 2021. Investors will also need to weigh regulatory headwinds flagged in the filing, including the new administration's climate and leasing actions, and the pending Vitol litigation, where the company is appealing a $139.5 million award.
Feb 18, 2021
2019
Targa Resources Corp. Annual Report, Year Ended Dec 31, 2019
Targa Resources Corp. (NYSE: TRGP) reported its 2019 annual results with Adjusted EBITDA of $1,435.5 million, up 11% from $1,291.1 million in 2018, and distributable cash flow of $947.2 million, roughly flat year over year. Reported GAAP results were weaker: revenues fell 17% to $8,671.1 million on lower NGL and natural gas prices, and the company posted a net loss attributable to common shareholders of $334.0 million, versus a $119.3 million loss in 2018. The loss was driven by a $243.2 million impairment of property, plant and equipment (including $225.3 million in Q4 on North Texas and Coastal gathering and processing assets), a $71.3 million other operating expense, and $91.7 million plus $33.1 million in preferred dividends and deemed dividends. Operating margin rose 15% to $1,759.7 million, led by Gathering and Processing (up 7%) and Logistics and Transportation (up 46%, to $867.2 million), as the Grand Prix NGL pipeline entered full service and Train 6 began operations. Management reports that fee-based margin rose from 70% to 80% of the mix. Growth capital spending was $2.57 billion, and the company guided 2020 net growth capex to $1.2 to $1.3 billion, with maintenance capex near $150 million. Liquidity was about $2.47 billion as of February 14, 2020, and the company funded its 2019 program with asset sales (a 45% stake in Targa Badlands for $1.6 billion) and senior note issuances. Leverage remains a central investor concern. Total debt was $7.87 billion at year-end, and the company's senior unsecured debt is rated BB by S&P and Ba3 by Moody's, both non-investment grade. Management is also pursuing further divestitures, including the Permian Midland crude gathering business, and leadership is transitioning, with Matthew Meloy becoming CEO and Joe Bob Perkins becoming Executive Chairman effective March 1, 2020.
Feb 20, 2020
2018
Targa Resources Corp. Annual Report, Year Ended Dec 31, 2018
Targa Resources Corp. (NYSE: TRGP) closed 2018 with total revenues of $10.48 billion, up 19% from $8.81 billion in 2017, and operating margin of $1.52 billion, up 19% year over year. Growth was driven by higher Permian volumes, the Permian Acquisition's full-year contribution, and higher NGL and condensate prices, with Gathering and Processing operating margin rising 24% to $968 million and Logistics and Marketing rising 16% to $593 million. Net income attributable to Targa was only $1.6 million, and net loss to common shareholders was $119.3 million after $91.7 million of Series A preferred dividends and $29.2 million of deemed dividends. The gap between operating results and bottom-line earnings is driven largely by a $210 million goodwill impairment tied to the Atlas mergers, plus interest expense and preferred dividends, so investors should focus on cash-flow metrics such as Adjusted EBITDA of $1.37 billion (up 20%) and distributable cash flow of $942 million (up 11%). The company is in a heavy growth-capital cycle, with 2018 capital expenditures of $3.33 billion and at least $2.3 billion of announced 2019 organic growth projects, including Grand Prix NGL pipeline, Train 6, the GCX pipeline, and several Permian plants. Growth is being funded through a mix of debt (including $1.0 billion of 5⅞% notes in 2018 and $1.5 billion of new notes in January 2019 to refinance the 2019 maturities), equity issuance, joint ventures with Stonepeak and Blackstone, and asset sales. Notably, in February 2019 Targa agreed to sell a 45% interest in Targa Badlands to GSO and Blackstone for $1.6 billion, which would meaningfully reduce leverage if it closes as expected in the second quarter of 2019. Key risks include commodity price exposure (about 69% of gathered gas volumes are under percent-of-proceeds contracts, partly hedged), leverage (total debt of $6.7 billion with $1.4 billion of variable-rate debt), dividend coverage that management says is about 1.0x, and customer and counterparty concentration (Petredec accounted for about 15% of revenue). The company's senior unsecured debt is rated BB by S&P and Ba3 by Moody's, and the common dividend was held flat at $3.64 per share annualized.
Mar 1, 2019
2017
Targa Resources Corp. Annual Report, Year Ended Dec 31, 2017
Targa Resources Corp. (TRGP) reported a 2017 that was defined by heavy growth investment and a return to positive net income, though GAAP results were muddied by a large non-cash impairment and a tax benefit. Revenues rose 32% to $8.81 billion, driven mainly by higher commodity prices, while operating margin increased 6% to $1.29 billion, led by Gathering and Processing (up 36% to $783.8 million) following the March 2017 Permian Acquisition. Logistics and Marketing operating margin fell 11% to $511.8 million on lower LPG export and domestic marketing margins. Net income attributable to Targa was $54.0 million, but after $63.4 million of preferred dividends and deemed dividends, net loss to common shareholders was $(63.4) million, or $(0.31) per share. The result includes a $378.0 million pre-tax impairment of North Texas gathering and processing assets and a $269.5 million deferred tax benefit from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. The key metric for income-focused investors is cash flow coverage. Company Adjusted EBITDA rose 7% to $1.14 billion and distributable cash flow rose 12% to $851.8 million, against common dividends of $3.64 per share (unchanged). Operating cash flow increased to $939.5 million. Management guided to at least $1.63 billion of 2018 net growth capital spending, with major projects including the Permian plants, Grand Prix NGL pipeline (in service 2019) and the GCX pipeline (2019), which are partly funded by the Stonepeak DevCo JVs (up to roughly $960 million committed). Leverage and liquidity remain key watch items. Total debt was about $5.08 billion at year-end, with $805 million floating-rate, and the Partnership's senior unsecured debt is rated BB- by S&P and Ba3 by Moody's (non-investment grade). Total liquidity was about $1.9 billion as of February 9, 2018. The Permian Acquisition carries up to $935 million of earn-out payments in 2018 and 2019, and the fair value of that liability was reduced to $317 million at year-end, reflecting weaker producer activity in the basin.
Feb 16, 2018
2016
Targa Resources Corp. Annual Report, Year Ended Dec 31, 2016
Targa Resources Corp. (TRGP) reported a net loss of $159.1 million for 2016 (net loss attributable to common shareholders of $278.1 million), compared with net income of $423.0 million in 2014 and a 2015 net loss of $151.4 million. Revenue rose 0.5% to $6.69 billion, but income from operations fell sharply to $55.8 million from $159.3 million, largely due to $207.0 million of goodwill impairments and higher depreciation from the Atlas mergers. Gross margin declined 3% to $1,768.0 million and operating margin fell 5% to $1,214.3 million, reflecting lower Logistics and Marketing results partially offset by growth in Gathering and Processing. Adjusted EBITDA was $1,064.9 million, down 11%, and distributable cash flow was $762.4 million, down 8%. The balance sheet and capital structure changed materially in 2016. The February 2016 TRC/TRP Merger (buy-in of the public Targa Resources Partners units) eliminated the public minority in the Partnership, and TRC issued about 104.5 million shares. TRC also raised roughly $994 million of Series A Preferred stock, about $1.0 billion of common equity through equity distribution programs, and the Partnership issued $1.0 billion of 5% senior notes while tendering or redeeming about $1.7 billion of older notes. Long-term debt fell to $4.6 billion from $5.7 billion. Management disclosed a material weakness in internal control over interim income tax provisions, and disclosure controls were concluded to be not effective as of December 31, 2016. Looking ahead, management highlighted the pending Permian Acquisition of Outrigger Delaware and Outrigger Midland for $565 million at closing plus up to $935 million of potential earn-outs, expected to close in the first quarter of 2017 and partly funded by a January 2017 equity offering that raised $524.1 million. Growth capital is expected to be at least $700 million in 2017, with the Raptor Plant, Joyce Plant, and Channelview Splitter scheduled for completion in 2017 to early 2018. Investors should weigh the earnings pressure and goodwill impairments against the company's fee-based growth, dividend coverage, and the simplified corporate structure following the buy-in.
Feb 21, 2017
2015
Targa Resources Corp. Annual Report, Year Ended Dec 31, 2015
Targa Resources Corp. (TRGP) reported a difficult 2015 as commodity prices fell sharply, producing a net loss attributable to net income of $58.3 million after noncontrolling interests (consolidated net loss of $151.4 million), down from $423.0 million of consolidated net income in 2014. Consolidated revenues fell 23% to $6.66 billion, while operating margin rose 13% to $1.28 billion, helped by the February 2015 Atlas mergers (acquisition of APL and ATLS), which added Trident/TPL assets to the Field Gathering and Processing segment. The results were weighed down by a $290.0 million provisional goodwill impairment and $677.1 million of depreciation and amortization. Management disclosed a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting related to the valuation of assets acquired in the Atlas mergers, and concluded that disclosure controls were not effective as of December 31, 2015. The most important development for shareholders is the February 17, 2016 TRC/TRP Merger (the "Buy-In Transaction"), in which Targa acquired all Partnership common units it did not already own by issuing 0.62 TRC shares per TRP unit, which increased common shares outstanding to roughly 160.6 million. Targa now owns 100% of the Partnership's common units, the general partner, and the IDRs, so its cash flow is no longer dependent on a minority public float, and the change is accounted for as an equity transaction. Leverage is high: total consolidated debt was about $6.0 billion at year end, the Partnership's senior debt was downgraded by S&P to BB- and TRC's corporate rating to B-, and TRC's stand-alone credit facility carries a 4.50x leverage covenant through 2016. Management and the board kept dividends rising but signaled a more conservative stance, including a 2016 growth capex budget of $525 million or less and a $500 million Series A preferred stock issuance announced for March 2016. Key risks for investors include commodity price exposure (about 60% of Partnership gathered gas volumes were under percent-of-proceeds contracts in 2015), the unresolved shareholder litigation over the Buy-In Transaction, the ongoing remediation of the material weakness, and dependence on the Partnership's ability to make distributions, since TRC's only operating cash flow comes from its Partnership interests.
Feb 29, 2016
2014
Targa Resources Corp. Annual Report, Year Ended Dec 31, 2014
Targa Resources Corp. (NYSE: TRGP) reported full-year 2014 consolidated revenues of $8,616.5 million (up 36% from $6,314.7 million) and net income attributable to Targa of $102.3 million ($2.43 diluted EPS), versus $65.1 million in 2013. Targa owns no operating assets directly; its cash flow comes from a 2% general partner interest, all incentive distribution rights (IDRs), and a 10.9% limited partner stake in Targa Resources Partners LP (NYSE: NGLS). Partnership Adjusted EBITDA rose to $970.3 million from $635.2 million, and distributable cash flow at the parent level was $124.7 million, against declared common dividends of $2.84 per share for the year (roughly 2.4x coverage on the parent's distributable cash flow, based on the filing's own figures). The most important forward-looking items are the pending Atlas mergers, under which the Partnership would acquire Atlas Pipeline Partners and Targa would acquire Atlas Energy (which owns APL's general partner). The filing expects closing on February 28, 2015, subject to stockholder and unitholder approvals. Targa would issue roughly 10.35 million shares and pay about $522 million in cash to ATLS holders, and the combined entity's debt would rise sharply (Partnership borrowings pro forma about $867.7 million at January 31, 2015, before additional merger-related financing). Targa also agreed to reduce its IDRs over four years after closing, which lowers future incremental distributions to the parent. Several shareholder and unitholder lawsuits relating to the mergers were filed and are being settled through supplemental disclosures. Investors should also weigh the sharp commodity-price decline in late 2014 and early 2015. Management flagged that producers are likely to cut drilling in 2015, prompting it to reevaluate the timing and capacity of the 300 MMcf/d Delaware Basin and 200 MMcf/d McKenzie County plants. Growth capital for 2015 is estimated at $490 to $675 million for the Partnership, and CBF Train 5 remains on track for mid-2016. Roughly 42% of plant volumes are supported by percent-of-proceeds contracts (51% of gathered gas volumes), so commodity exposure remains meaningful despite hedging and a growing fee-based downstream business.
Feb 17, 2015
2013
Targa Resources Corp. Annual Report, Year Ended Dec 31, 2013
Targa Resources Corp. (TRGP) is a holding company with no direct operating assets; its cash flow comes entirely from distributions on its 2% general partner interest, all incentive distribution rights (IDRs, paying up to 48%), and 12.9 million common units (about 11.5%) of Targa Resources Partners LP (NGLS). Consolidated 2013 revenue rose 11% to $6.56 billion, operating margin rose 16% to $801 million, and net income attributable to TRC common shareholders rose 71% to $65.1 million. Partnership adjusted EBITDA reached $629 million, up 22%, and distributable cash flow to TRC grew to $116.6 million from $78.3 million. The Partnership's growth was driven by its Badlands Bakken acquisition (about $976 million), CBF Train 4, the international LPG export expansion, and new North Texas and SAOU processing plants. Investors should weigh the structural dependence on the Partnership's distributions and IDR economics. The IDRs are disproportionately exposed to distribution levels, and the company carries $84 million on its own revolver, while the Partnership carries roughly $2.9 billion of consolidated debt. Commodity exposure is partly hedged, with natural gas hedges through 2016 and NGL and condensate hedges through 2014. Management guided to roughly $650 million of Partnership growth capex in 2014, funded by the Partnership's revolver, securitization facility, and equity issuance. The quarterly dividend was $0.6075 per share, annualized at about $2.43, up from $1.64 in 2012. Overall, the filing shows a strong growth year for the Partnership and a rising dividend at TRC, but TRC's dividend coverage and growth depend on continued Partnership distribution increases, which in turn depend on capital market access and commodity-driven volume and margin trends.

2012
Targa Resources Corp. Annual Report, Year Ended Dec 31, 2012
Targa Resources Corp. (TRC), in its 2012 10-K filing, primarily acts as a holding company whose main source of revenue is its ownership interests in Targa Resources Partners LP (the Partnership). The Partnership is a significant midstream energy company engaged in gathering, processing, logistics, and marketing of natural gas and natural gas liquids (NGLs). TRC holds a 2% general partner interest, all incentive distribution rights (IDRs), and a 12.7% limited partnership interest in the Partnership. The Partnership experienced strong growth in 2012, driven by acquisitions and organic growth projects, notably the acquisition of Badlands in the Williston Basin. The company's operations are divided into Gathering and Processing, and Logistics and Marketing, serving diverse basins and end-markets. The filing highlights the Partnership's strategically located asset base, leading fractionation position, comprehensive midstream services, efficient operations, and a diverse business mix with an increasing percentage of fee-based revenue as key competitive strengths. The company's financial performance is directly tied to the cash distributions received from the Partnership. While the Partnership reported strong operational results, TRC, as the parent, navigates the complexities of consolidated financial reporting, non-controlling interests, and its own corporate-level debt and expenses. Investors should monitor the Partnership's ability to generate distributable cash flow and its capacity to fund growth projects and service debt, as these factors directly impact TRC's ability to pay dividends to its shareholders.

2011-A
Targa Resources Corp. Annual Report (Amendment), Year Ended Dec 31, 2011
This 10-K filing for Targa Resources Corp. as of March 20, 2012, primarily details the various exhibits and financial statement schedules that form part of the annual report.

Targa Resources Corp. Annual Report, Year Ended Dec 31, 2011
Targa Resources Corp. (TRGP) in its 2011 10-K filing operates as a holding company with its primary source of revenue derived from its ownership interests in Targa Resources Partners LP (NGLS). The company itself does not directly own operating assets, but benefits from its general partner interest, incentive distribution rights (IDRs), and common units in the Partnership. The Partnership is a significant provider of midstream natural gas and natural gas liquid (NGL) services across the United States, involved in gathering, processing, storing, fractionating, and transporting these commodities. The company's strategy revolves around supporting the Partnership's growth through financial means and potential asset acquisitions. The Partnership's growth is driven by organic expansion projects and strategic third-party acquisitions. Key operational segments for the Partnership include Natural Gas Gathering and Processing (with Field Gathering and Processing, and Coastal Gathering and Processing segments) and Logistics and Marketing (with Logistics Assets and Marketing and Distribution segments). Investors should note that TRGP's financial results are consolidated with the Partnership's, but key differences arise from noncontrolling interests, separate debt obligations of TRGP, and corporate-level expenses. The company's ability to pay dividends to its stockholders is directly tied to the cash distributions it receives from the Partnership, making the Partnership's operational success and financial health critical to TRGP's performance. The filing highlights significant ongoing capital expenditure projects aimed at expanding the Partnership's infrastructure, particularly in fractionation capacity and export capabilities.

2010-A
Targa Resources Corp. Annual Report (Amendment), Year Ended Dec 31, 2010
Targa Resources Corp. (TRGP) reported 2010 revenues of $5,469.2 million, up about 21% from $4,536.0 million in 2009, but operating income fell to $196.1 million from $217.2 million. Net income attributable to Targa was a loss of $15.0 million, compared with income of $29.3 million in 2009. The loss to common shareholders was larger, at $202.3 million or $(30.94) per share, mainly because of $177.8 million in dividends on common equivalents and $9.5 million in Series B preferred dividends. These figures reflect the company's December 10, 2010 IPO, when its Series B preferred stock converted into about 35.4 million common shares. Investors should note that the per-share loss is driven by a one-time capital-structure event and is not comparable to 2009 per-share results, which were not reported because preferred holders were entitled to undistributed earnings. The company's economics are increasingly tied to Targa Resources Partners LP (the Partnership). During 2010 Targa sold its Permian and Straddle assets ($420.0 million), its 63% Versado interest ($247.2 million), and its Venice operations ($175.6 million) to the Partnership, and it sold Partnership units in secondary offerings. These dropdowns generated large cash tax payments of $92.6 million, and cash flow from operations declined to $208.5 million from $335.8 million. Consolidated debt was $1,534.7 million at year-end, of which $765.3 million was drawn on the Partnership's $1.1 billion revolver. Management concluded internal control over financial reporting was effective, and PricewaterhouseCoopers issued an unqualified opinion dated February 25, 2011. Note that the audit report on the schedule refers to a Form 10-K/A, so investors should confirm which version of the filing they are reviewing. Looking ahead, the company has hedged a significant portion of its expected natural gas, NGL and condensate equity volumes through 2014, and the Partnership raised additional capital in early 2011, including a $325 million 6 7/8% senior notes offering and an 8.0 million unit common offering with 1.2 million units of overallotment. Remaining risks include commodity price exposure outside hedged volumes, the WTG Gas Processing litigation (for which Targa has agreed to indemnify the Partnership, with the Texas Supreme Court having denied review), and insurance market conditions.

2011
Targa Resources Corp. Annual Report, Year Ended Feb 23, 2011
Targa Resources Corp. (NYSE: TRGP) completed its IPO on December 10, 2010, selling 18.8 million common shares at $22.00 (the selling shareholders received all proceeds). Since the September 2010 conveyance of all remaining operating assets to Targa Resources Partners LP (NYSE: NGLS), TRGP no longer directly owns operating assets. Its cash flow now comes entirely from its 2% general partner interest, 100% of the incentive distribution rights (IDRs, which pay up to 48% of incremental distributions), and 11.6 million common units (13.7% LP interest) in the Partnership. Because TRGP controls the general partner, the Partnership is consolidated, so headline consolidated figures are dominated by the Partnership's operations. Consolidated 2010 results were mixed. Revenue rose 20.6% to $5.47 billion and operating margin rose 2.2% to $521.3 million, but net income attributable to TRGP fell to a loss of $15.0 million (versus $29.3 million in 2009), largely due to $177.8 million of dividends on common equivalents and $9.5 million of Series B preferred dividends that reduced net income available to common shareholders to a loss of $202.3 million, or $(30.94) per share. Interest expense fell, reflecting debt reduction funded by Partnership equity issuances, while general and administrative expense rose 20% to $144.4 million, driven partly by IPO-related compensation. Partnership adjusted EBITDA was $396.1 million, roughly flat versus $400.6 million in 2009. Looking forward, the filing emphasizes growth from fractionation expansions (Cedar Bayou, ~78 MBbl/d expected in service Q2 2011; Gulf Coast Fractionators expansion expected Q2 2012) and North Texas and SAOU gathering expansions, plus liquids-rich shale activity in the Permian and Barnett. Risks include the Partnership's substantial leverage (about $1.45 billion of total debt at year-end 2010), a heavy reliance on percent-of-proceeds contracts (about 38% of gathered volumes) that expose margins to commodity prices, dependence on a single customer group (Chevron Phillips at roughly 10% of revenue), and regulatory changes around hydraulic fracturing, greenhouse gases and derivatives. Post year-end, the Partnership raised about $298 million of equity in January-February 2011 and issued $325 million of 6% notes due 2021 to reduce bank borrowings and refinance higher-cost 11% notes.
