Each such non-GAAP financial measure is defined below under “Non-GAAP Financial Information”, and each is reconciled to its most directly comparable GAAP financial measures under “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below.
(2) In March 2012, the Partnership completed the contribution from DCP Midstream, LLC (“DCP Midstream”) of the remaining 66.7 percent interest in DCP Southeast Texas Holdings, GP, in a transaction between entities under common control. This transfer of net assets between entities under common control was accounted for as if the transaction had occurred at the beginning of the period, and prior years were retrospectively adjusted to furnish comparative information similar to the pooling method. In addition, results are presented as originally reported in 2011 for comparative purposes.

** Distributable cash flow has not been calculated under the pooling method.

FIRST QUARTER AND RECENT HIGHLIGHTS

  • We completed the previously announced contribution of the remaining 66.7% interest in the Southeast Texas joint venture from our general partner, DCP Midstream.
  • We acquired a 10% interest in the Texas Express Pipeline joint venture from the operator, Enterprise Product Partners, representing a total planned investment of approximately $85 million. The fee-based NGL pipeline infrastructure project will provide much-needed takeaway capacity from the Rockies, Permian Basin and Mid-Continent to the Gulf Coast. Texas Express is also integral to DCP Midstream’s assets and strategic positioning, including synergies with its recent investment in the Front Range NGL pipeline joint venture project. Additionally, a DCP Midstream affiliate committed 20,000 barrels per day to the pipeline, increasing total long term shipper commitments to 252,000 barrels per day. The pipeline is expected to be completed by the second quarter of 2013.
  • Our capital projects for the construction of our natural gas processing plant in the Eagle Ford shale and our Discovery deepwater natural gas gathering pipeline system are progressing on plan.
  • Our accomplishments related to our financial objectives position us well in terms of both liquidity and cost of capital to support our growth outlook, including co-investment opportunities with our general partner.
    • We received an investment grade rating of Baa3 / Stable from Moody’s. The rating complements our investment grade ratings of BBB- / Stable from S&P and Fitch Ratings and marks the final milestone in the successful execution of our investment grade plan.
    • We successfully executed our first 10-year public debt offering through the issuance of $350 million of 4.95% senior notes due 2022.
    • We raised $234 million in capital through the successful execution of a public equity offering.

CEO PERSPECTIVE

“Financial results and distribution growth were in line with our 2012 forecast, delivering a distribution coverage ratio of 1.3 times for the quarter,” said Mark Borer, president and CEO of the Partnership. “We continue to execute on our multi-faceted growth strategy of co-investment, third party acquisitions, and organic growth, which has enabled us to continue growing our distributions and diversifying our asset portfolio. We are pleased with our ongoing capital markets access and strong capital structure, which position us well to execute on our growth outlook.”

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL RESULTS

Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2012 increased to $83.5 million from $63.9 million for three months ended March 31, 2011.

On April 27, 2012, we announced a quarterly distribution of $0.66 per limited partner unit. This represents an increase of 1.5 percent over the last quarterly distribution paid on February 14, 2012 and an increase of 5.6 percent over the distribution declared in the first quarter of 2011. Our distributable cash flow of $55.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 provided a 1.3 times distribution coverage ratio for the quarter. The distribution coverage ratio for the last four quarters as reported was 1.1 times.

OPERATING RESULTS BY BUSINESS SEGMENT

Natural Gas Services — Adjusted segment EBITDA increased to $66.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 from $50.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011, reflecting the addition of the remaining 49.9% interest in East Texas and timing of expenditures. Consolidated results are shown using the required pooling method of accounting, which include 100% of Southeast Texas and elimination of the storage business structure, which creates a different cash flow profile than the Partnership had in place during those periods.

NGL Logistics — Adjusted segment EBITDA increased to $11.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 from $6.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011, reflecting the completion of the Wattenberg capital expansion project, increased throughput on our pipelines and our acquisition of the DJ Basin fractionators.

Wholesale Propane Logistics — Adjusted segment EBITDA decreased to $17.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 from $18.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011, reflecting decreased volumes as a result of near record warm winter weather, partially offset by higher unit margins.

CORPORATE AND OTHER

Increased depreciation and amortization expense and interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2012 reflect our acquisitions and organic capital spending. Additionally, interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2012 includes higher borrowing costs related to our new credit facility and non-cash charges.

CAPITALIZATION

On March 13, 2012, we issued $350 million of 4.95% senior notes due 2022. We used the net proceeds of this offering to fund a portion of the dropdown of the 66.7% interest in Southeast Texas and to repay funds borrowed under our term loan and revolving credit facility.

At March 31, 2012, we had $865 million of total debt outstanding comprised of $598 million of senior notes and $267 million outstanding under our revolver. Total unused revolver capacity was $732 million. Our leverage ratio pursuant to our credit facility for the quarter ended March 31, 2012, was approximately 3.2 times. Our effective interest rate on our overall debt position, as of March 31, 2012, was 4.4 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 an asset or liability and associated non-cash gain or loss. 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 March 31, 2012, commodity derivative activity and total revenues included non-cash losses of $22.6 million. This compares to non-cash losses of $34.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011. The $17.3 million net hedge receipts for the three months ended March 31, 2012 were receipts of $21.0 million for commodity derivative activities related to the predecessor’s Southeast Texas Storage business, offset by $3.7 million of net payments primarily for the balance of our commodity hedging program. The $5.3 million net hedge payments for the three months ended March 31, 2011, were receipts of $1.3 million for commodity derivative activities related to the predecessor’s Southeast Texas Storage business and $6.6 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 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 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. 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 we believe 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; 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 partners, 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 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 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.
