EAGLE FORD EXPANSION

The Partnership announced a $626 million immediately accretive dropdown from DCP Midstream of an additional 47 percent interest in the Eagle Ford joint venture bringing its ownership interest to 80 percent. This transaction is subject to certain customary closing conditions and working capital and other purchase price adjustments. In conjunction with the transaction, DCP Midstream will provide a three-year direct commodity price hedge for the Partnership's additional 47 percent interest.

In addition to the announced additional 47 percent Eagle Ford joint venture dropdown, the Partnership also increased its interest in the Goliad Plant and associated infrastructure to 80 percent with an estimated total investment of $230 million by the Partnership. The Goliad Plant is a 200 MMcf/d processing plant in the Eagle Ford system with an expected in service date in Q1 2014. The plant is supported by long-term producer agreements. DCP Midstream will provide a 27 month hedge associated with this organic project, commencing in January 2014, for the additional 47 percent interest in the Goliad Plant and related infrastructure.

With this announced dropdown, the incremental ownership in the Goliad Plant and the completion of the wholly-owned Eagle Plant, the Partnership will have an 80 percent interest in one of the largest gathering and processing systems in the prolific Eagle Ford shale play.

The Eagle Ford system includes the following:

  • five cryogenic processing plants with 760 MMcf/d processing capacity and approximately 6,000 miles of gathering systems
  • three fractionators with approximately 36,000 barrels per day capacity
  • production from over 900,000 acres supported by acreage dedications or throughput commitments under long-term predominantly percent-of-proceeds agreements
  • the newly constructed wholly-owned Eagle Plant with 200 MMcf/d of processing capacity
  • the Goliad Plant currently under construction with 200 MMcf/d of processing capacity

The five existing plants, coupled with the Eagle and Goliad plants, will result in 1.2 Bcf/d of processing capacity in the area and provide significant incremental cash flow for the Partnership to support continued distribution growth.

MARYSVILLE NGL STORAGE EXPANSION

The Partnership also announced a long-term ethane storage agreement with Nova Chemical underpinning the expansion of our Marysville NGL storage facility. Our expected investment is $25 million, which represents an attractive organic growth opportunity for our NGL Logistics segment. This project provides much needed incremental NGL storage capacity for the growing Marcellus/Utica production. The expansion includes new ethane storage capacity of approximately one million barrels. The expansion is expected to be in service Q4 2013.

PRESIDENT'S PERSPECTIVE

"We are pleased to report the Partnership's record Adjusted EBITDA for 2012 of over $250 million despite a lower commodity price environment. Distribution growth was in line with our 2012 forecast," said Bill Waldheim, president of the Partnership. "We are very proud of what we accomplished in 2012 with the continued execution of our growth strategy. During 2012, we completed over $1 billion of dropdowns from DCP Midstream as well as deployed approximately $400 million in organic growth and acquisitions. We are off to a strong start in 2013. Since the beginning of the year, we announced the incremental investments in the Eagle Ford system and the Marysville storage project, all of which position us well to meet our target to significantly increase the size of the Partnership from 2012 to 2015."

2012 AND RECENT HIGHLIGHTS

In addition to achieving our distributable cash flow and distribution growth forecast, we successfully delivered on the key elements of our 2012 business plan.

  • We provided sustainable quarterly distribution growth, which represents a 6 percent increase over the distribution rate paid in 2011.
  • We continued executing our multi-faceted growth strategy, with an emphasis on dropdowns from our general partner. Dropdowns completed in 2012 were over $1 billion and included:
    • the remaining 50 percent interest in East Texas
    • the remaining two-thirds interest in Southeast Texas
    • minority interests in two non-operated Mont Belvieu fractionators, and
    • one-third interest in the Eagle Ford joint venture
  • In addition to dropdowns, we continued to capture organic growth opportunities and third-party acquisitions in 2012 including:
    • ongoing construction of the 200 MMcf/d Goliad Plant located in the Eagle Ford shale with a targeted in service date of Q1 2014
    • construction of the 200 MMcf/d wholly owned Eagle Plant located in the Eagle Ford shale
    • acquisition of a minority interest in the Texas Express NGL pipeline
    • acquisition of the Crossroads gathering and processing system in East Texas, and
    • ongoing construction of our Keathley Canyon project at Discovery
  • Our strong capital markets execution in 2012 positions us well in terms of both liquidity and cost of capital to execute on our growth plans.

In summary, our dropdown strategy with DCP Midstream, visible pipeline of organic growth projects, as well as strong financial results position us well to becoming a large scale diversified midstream company.

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL RESULTS

Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended December 31, 2012 increased to $86 million from $42 million for the three months ended December 31, 2011. Adjusted EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2012 increased to $252 million from $200 million for the year ended December 31, 2011.

On January 28, 2013, we announced a quarterly distribution of $0.69 per limited partner unit. This represents an increase of 1.5 percent over the last quarterly distribution and an increase of 6 percent over the distribution declared in the fourth quarter of 2011. Our distributable cash flow of $68 million for the three months ended December 31, 2012 provided a 1.3 times distribution coverage ratio adjusted for the timing of actual distributions paid during the quarter. Our distributable cash flow of $180 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2012 provided a 1.0 times distribution coverage ratio adjusted for the timing of actual distributions paid during the year.

OPERATING RESULTS BY BUSINESS SEGMENT

Natural Gas Services - Adjusted segment EBITDA increased to $51 million for the three months ended December 31, 2012 from $33 million for the three months ended December 31, 2011. These results reflect the dropdown of the one-third interest in the Eagle Ford joint venture, the dropdown of the remaining 50 percent interest in East Texas and the Crossroads system acquisition, partially offset by lower commodity prices and a planned turnaround at East Texas.

Adjusted segment EBITDA increased to $213 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 from $176 million for the year ended December 31, 2011, reflecting the dropdown of a one-third interest in the Eagle Ford joint venture, the addition of the remaining 50 percent interest in East Texas, the Crossroads system acquisition, and higher results in natural gas storage, partially offset by lower commodity prices.

NGL Logistics - Adjusted segment EBITDA increased to $20 million for the three months ended December 31, 2012 from $10 million for the three months ended December 31, 2011, reflecting the July 2012 acquisition of the Mont Belvieu fractionators and higher throughput on our pipelines.

Adjusted segment EBITDA increased to $59 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 from $37 million for the year ended December 31, 2011, reflecting the acquisition of the Mont Belvieu fractionators, higher throughput on our pipelines, as well as growth from the Wattenberg pipeline expansion project and the full year results for the DJ Basin fractionators acquired in March 2011.

Wholesale Propane Logistics - Adjusted segment EBITDA increased to $27 million for the three months ended December 31, 2012 from $12 million for the three months ended December 31, 2011, reflecting a significant recovery of the non-cash lower of cost or market inventory adjustment recorded in the second quarter of 2012.

Adjusted segment EBITDA decreased to $26 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 from $36 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 as a result of a lack of demand due to the industry's excess inventory resulting from record warm weather last heating season.

CORPORATE AND OTHER

Decreased depreciation and amortization expense for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2012, as compared to the three months and twelve months ended December 31, 2011, reflect a change in the estimated useful lives of our assets. Additionally, interest expense for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2012 increased due to higher debt levels partially offset by higher capitalized interest.

CAPITALIZATION

At December 31, 2012, we had $1,620 million of total debt outstanding comprised of $1,095 million of senior notes and $525 million outstanding under our revolver. Total unused revolver capacity was approximately $475 million. Our leverage ratio pursuant to our credit facility for the quarter ended December 31, 2012, was approximately 4.2 times. Our effective interest rate on our overall debt position, as of December 31, 2012, was 3.1 percent.

COMMODITY DERIVATIVE ACTIVITY

The objective of our commodity risk management program is to protect downside risk in our distributable cash flow. We utilize mark-to-market accounting treatment for our commodity derivative instruments. Mark-to-market accounting rules require companies to record currently in earnings the difference between their contracted future derivative settlement prices and the forward prices of the underlying commodities at the end of the accounting period. Revaluing our commodity derivative instruments based on futures pricing at the end of the period creates assets or liabilities and associated non-cash gains or losses. Realized gains or losses from cash settlement of the derivative contracts occur monthly as our physical commodity sales are realized or when we rebalance our portfolio. Non-cash gains or losses associated with the mark-to-market accounting treatment of our commodity derivative instruments do not affect our distributable cash flow.

For the three months ended December 31, 2012, commodity derivative activity and total revenues included non-cash gains of $2 million. This compares to non-cash losses of $7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2011. The $18 million net hedge receipts for the three months ended December 31, 2012 included payments of $1 million for the Southeast Texas Storage business and $19 million of net hedge receipts for the balance of our commodity hedging program. The $14 million net hedge payments for the three months ended December 31, 2011 included payments of $8 million for the Southeast Texas Storage business and $6 million of net payments for the balance of our commodity hedging program. For the year ended December 31, 2012, commodity derivative activity and total revenues included non-cash gains of $21 million. This compares to non-cash gains of $42 million for the year ended December 31, 2011. The $49 million net hedge receipts for the year ended December 31, 2012 were receipts of $28 million for commodity derivative activities related to the Southeast Texas Storage business and receipts of $21 million for the balance of our commodity hedging program. The $35 million net hedge payments for the year ended December 31, 2011 were payments of $5 million for the Southeast Texas Storage business and $30 million of net payments primarily for the balance of our commodity hedging program. While our earnings will continue to fluctuate as a result of the volatility in the commodity markets, our commodity derivative contracts mitigate a portion of the risk of weakening commodity prices thereby stabilizing distributable cash flows.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION

This press release and the accompanying financial schedules include the following non-GAAP financial measures: distributable cash flow, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted segment EBITDA, adjusted net income attributable to partners, and adjusted net income per limited partner unit. The accompanying schedules provide reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. Our non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to our financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP, including operating revenues,  net income or loss attributable to partners, net cash provided by or used in operating activities or any other measure of liquidity or financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP as a measure of operating performance, liquidity or ability to service debt obligations and make cash distributions to unitholders. The non-GAAP financial measures presented by us may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies because they may not calculate their measures in the same manner.

We define distributable cash flow as net cash provided by or used in operating activities, less maintenance capital expenditures, net of reimbursable projects, plus or minus adjustments for non-cash mark-to-market of derivative instruments, proceeds from divestiture of assets, net income attributable to noncontrolling interests net of depreciation and income tax, net changes in operating assets and liabilities, and other adjustments to reconcile net cash provided by or used in operating activities. Historical distributable cash flow is calculated excluding the impact of retrospective adjustments related to any acquisitions presented under the pooling method. Maintenance capital expenditures are capital expenditures made where we add on to or improve capital assets owned, or acquire or construct new capital assets, if such expenditures are made to maintain, including over the long-term, our operating or earnings capacity. Non-cash mark-to-market of derivative instruments is considered to be non-cash for the purpose of computing distributable cash flow because settlement will not occur until future periods, and will be impacted by future changes in commodity prices and interest rates. Distributable cash flow is used as a supplemental liquidity and performance measure by our management and by external users of our financial statements, such as investors, commercial banks, research analysts and others, to assess our ability to make cash distributions to our unitholders and our general partner.

We define adjusted EBITDA as net income or loss attributable to partners less interest income, noncontrolling interest in depreciation and income tax expense and non-cash commodity derivative gains, plus interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization expense and non-cash commodity derivative losses. The commodity derivative non-cash losses and gains result from the marking to market of certain financial derivatives used by us for risk management purposes that we do not account for under the hedge method of accounting. These non-cash losses or gains may or may not be realized in future periods when the derivative contracts are settled, due to fluctuating commodity prices. We define adjusted segment EBITDA for each segment as segment net income or loss attributable to partners less non-cash commodity derivative gains for that segment, plus depreciation and amortization expense and non-cash commodity derivative losses for that segment, adjusted for any noncontrolling interest on depreciation and amortization expense for that segment. Our adjusted EBITDA equals the sum of our adjusted segment EBITDAs, plus general and administrative expense.

Adjusted EBITDA is used as a supplemental liquidity and performance measure and adjusted segment EBITDA is used as supplemental performance measure by our management and by external users of our financial statements, such as investors, commercial banks, research analysts and others to assess:

  • financial performance of our assets without regard to financing methods, capital structure or historical cost basis;

  • our operating performance and return on capital as compared to those of other companies in the midstream energy industry, without regard to financing methods or capital structure;

  • viability and performance of acquisitions and capital expenditure projects and the overall rates of return on investment opportunities;

  • performance of our business excluding non-cash commodity derivative gains or losses; and

  • in the case of Adjusted EBITDA, the ability of our assets to generate cash sufficient to pay interest costs, support our indebtedness, make cash distributions to our unitholders and general partner, and finance maintenance capital expenditures.

We define adjusted net income attributable to partners as net income attributable to partners, plus non-cash derivative losses, less non-cash derivative gains. Adjusted net income per limited partner unit is then calculated from adjusted net income attributable to partners. These non-cash derivative losses and gains result from the marking to market of certain financial derivatives used by us for risk management purposes that we do not account for under the hedge method of accounting. Adjusted net income attributable to partners and adjusted net income per limited partner unit are provided to illustrate trends in income excluding these non-cash derivative losses or gains, which may or may not be realized in future periods when derivative contracts are settled, due to fluctuating commodity prices.
