Williams Companies, Inc. (WMB) reported a net income of $2.225 billion for the year ended December 31, 2024, a decrease of 30% compared to the prior year's $3.179 billion.

Financially, the company ended the year with $60 million in cash and cash equivalents. Capital expenditures and acquisitions totaled approximately $4.8 billion, funded primarily by $4.974 billion in cash from operating activities.
