affect many aspects of our present and future operations. Regulated activities include, but are not limited to, those involving air emissions, storm water and wastewater discharges, handling and disposal of solid and hazardous wastes, wetland preservation, plant and wildlife protection, hazardous materials use, storage and transportation, and pipeline and facility construction. These laws and regulations require us to obtain and/or comply with a wide variety of environmental clearances, registrations, licenses, permits, and other approvals. Failure to comply with these laws, regulations, licenses, and permits or the discovery of presently unknown environmental conditions may expose us to fines, penalties, and/or interruptions in our operations that could be material to our results of operations. In addition, emission controls and/or other regulatory or permitting mandates under the CAA and other similar federal and state laws could require unexpected capital expenditures. We cannot assure that existing environmental statutes and regulations will not be revised or that new regulations will not be adopted or become applicable to us. Revised or additional statutes or regulations that result in increased compliance costs or additional operating restrictions could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Our expenditures for environmental investigation and remediation compliance to date have not been significant in relation to our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows, and our expenditures related to environmental matters had no material effects on earnings or cash flows during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.</span></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div style="text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">We own or retain legal responsibility for certain environmental conditions at 12 former MGP sites in Kansas. These sites contain contaminants generally associated with MGP sites and are subject to control or remediation under various environmental laws and regulations. A consent agreement with the KDHE governs all environmental investigation and remediation work at these sites. The terms of the consent agreement require us to investigate these sites and set remediation activities based upon the results of the investigations and risk analysis. Remediation typically involves the management of contaminated soils and may involve removal of structures and monitoring and/or remediation of groundwater. We have completed or are addressing removal of the source of soil contamination at all 12 sites and continue to monitor groundwater at seven of the 12 sites according to plans approved by the KDHE. Regulatory closure has been achieved at five of the 12 sites, but these sites remain subject to potential future requirements that may result in additional costs.</span></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div style="text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">We have an AAO that allows Kansas Gas Service to defer and seek recovery of costs necessary for investigation and remediation at, and nearby, these 12 former MGP sites that are incurred after January 1, 2017. In January 2025, Kansas Gas Service requested to increase the cap on the AAO to $32.0 million from $15.0 million. The original $15.0 million cap approved in 2017 was the result of a unanimous settlement agreement and contained additional reporting requirements and obligations. In May 2025, Kansas Gas Service, the KCC staff, and the Citizens’ Utility Ratepayer Board filed a unanimous settlement agreement with the KCC agreeing to increase the cap to $32.0 million and to leave all of the other provisions of the 2017 settlement agreement in place. The KCC issued an order approving the settlement agreement in July 2025.</span></div><div style="text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Pursuant to the AAO, costs approved for recovery in a future rate proceeding are to be amortized over a 15-year period. The unamortized amounts are not included in rate base or accumulate carrying charges. Following a determination that future investigation and remediation work approved by the KDHE exceeds $32.0 million, net of any related insurance recoveries, Kansas Gas Service is required to file an application with the KCC for approval to increase the $32.0 million cap. At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we have deferred $30.6 million and $30.1 million, respectively, for accrued investigation and remediation costs, net of insurance proceeds, pursuant to our AAO. </span></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div style="text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">We also own or retain legal responsibility for certain environmental conditions at a former MGP site in Texas.

These include safety requirements for the design, construction, operation, and maintenance of pipelines, including transmission and distribution pipelines. At the federal level, we are regulated by PHMSA. PHMSA regulations require the following for certain pipelines: inspection and maintenance plans; integrity management programs, including the determination of pipeline integrity risks and periodic assessments on certain pipeline segments; an operator qualification program, which includes certain trainings; a public awareness program that provides certain information; and a control room management plan.</span></div><div style="text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">PHMSA promulgates various regulations related to pipeline safety. As part of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021, the PIPES Act reauthorized PHMSA through 2023 and directed the agency to move forward with several regulatory actions. Outstanding regulatory actions include the “Pipeline Safety: Safety of Gas Distribution Pipelines” and “Pipeline Safety: Gas Pipeline Leak Detection” proposed rulemakings. The “Pipeline Safety: Gas Pipeline Leak Detection” proposed rule would require operators of new and existing transmission and distribution pipeline facilities to conduct certain leak detection and repair programs and require facility inspection and maintenance plans to align with those regulations. On January 20, 2025, an executive order began a regulatory freeze on all rulemakings that were not yet effective pending further review. To the extent such rulemakings impose more stringent requirements on our facilities, we may be required to incur expenditures that may be material.</span></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div style="text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">Regulatory -</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"> Several regulatory initiatives impacted the earnings and future earnings potential of our business.
