President Oneok Distribution Companies
President, ONEOK Distribution Companies, the natural gas distribution segment of ONEOK, Inc. (NYSE: OKE), a Fortune 500 diversified energy provider of natural gas, and natural gas liquids gathering, processing, and transportation midstream services. ONEOK Distribution Companies was among the nations largest natural gas distribution operators serving some 2.1 million retail, wholesale, commercial, industrial, transportation and public authority customers through operating divisions Oklahoma Natural Gas Company, the largest gas utility in Oklahoma; Kansas Gas Service, the largest gas utility in Kansas; and Texas Gas Service, the third largest gas utility in Texas. It was the predecessor business to what is now publicly traded spin-off, ONE Gas, Inc. (NYSE: OGS). Combs led a 3,000 person workforce with profit and loss accountability for the $2.2 billion revenue and $3.1 billion asset entity. Reported directly to the board Chairman and CEO, attended ONEOK Board meetings and reported on quarterly earnings conference calls on behalf of the Distribution Segment. Also, responsible for the strategic direction representing the segment to the financial analyst and institutional investment communities. Was architect of an integrated business model that dramatically transformed growth, operating efficiencies, earnings, and overall financial performance. Credited with leading the underperforming segment through a turnaround and achievement of record profitability and sustained improvement in investment returns over multiple years. Over four years in the role, he increased segment operating income by 90 percent; return on equity by 69 percent; and EBITDA by 54 percent with an annual capital budget of $160MM. Established rates and regulatory platform, strategies and consistency in earnings to support public "spin-off". Combs retired in 2009 after 25 years of service.
Feb 2005 - Jun 2009
President
President of Oklahoma Natural Gas (ONG), the Oklahoma-based natural gas utility division of ONEOK Distribution Companies. Led a workforce of over 1,000 with an annual payroll in excess of $50 million, and profit and loss accountability. Responsible for all operations including, rates and regulatory, construction and maintenance, pipeline safety compliance, customer service, call center, human resources, and fleet and facility management activities for the division. The highlight achievements of his tenure was one, the "turnaround" of the business unit and restoration of the company’s profitability from an era of low morale and an inherited financial loss the previous year. Two, the negotiation and settlement of two longstanding regulatory issues that had damaged the Company's reputation and muted financial performance for nearly ten years. Primarily, this second achievement was accomplished by more efficient operations and the negotiation of a landmark “Global Settlement” of two gas purchase "cost recovery" issues with the Oklahoma Corporation Commission. The first, the result of a $54 million gas cost recovery disallowance inherited from the previous year and it's accompanying earnings loss; and the second, a nearly ten-year old cause related to a long-term gas supply contract with a potential negative impact estimated at $200 million. Initiated the "reset" of settlement discussions and led the Company’s negotiations to a full and “Global Settlement" on both matters in less than eight months. The Global Settlement was valued at $34 million, consisting in-part, cash plus the future value of certain gas supply contracts. The landmark settlement's effect was to, eliminate the risk of a much larger and more punitive judgement; pave the way for repairing erosion to the corporate brand; and, improve relations with regulators to a level necessary for introducing future revenue-enhancing rate cases.
