DROP DOWN OF A ONE-THIRD INTEREST IN THE EAGLE FORD JOINT VENTURE

Effective November 1, 2012, we formed a joint venture with DCP Midstream, LLC (“DCP Midstream”) and completed a drop down of a one-third interest in the Eagle Ford system. The $438.3 million transaction, which is subject to certain customary working capital and other purchase price adjustments, was financed at closing through a $343.5 million, 2-year term loan and the issuance of 1,912,663 DPM common units to DCP Midstream. In conjunction with the transaction, DCP Midstream provided a three-year direct commodity price hedge for the Partnership’s one-third interest.

The Eagle Ford system is synergistic with the Partnership’s Eagle Plant and includes:

• five cryogenic processing plants with 760 million cubic feet per day processing capacity
• approximately 6,000 miles of gathering systems
• three fractionators with approximately 36,000 barrels per day capacity
• production from 900,000 acres supported by acreage dedications or throughput commitments under long-term predominantly percent-of-proceeds agreements
• favorable access to interstate and intrastate gas markets
• access to Sand Hills pipeline delivering NGLs to the Mont Belvieu and Gulf Coast petrochemical markets

This immediately accretive transaction provides long-term cash flows to support continued distribution growth.

CEO PERSPECTIVE

“Year to date financial results and distribution growth were in line with our 2012 forecast,” said Mark Borer, chief executive officer of the Partnership. “We continue to execute on co-investment with our general partner with this expanded investment in the Eagle Ford shale. This transaction brings our 2012 co-investment to approximately $960 million, in excess of our 2012 target and well on our way to meeting our targeted $3 billion of growth for 2012 through 2014.”

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL RESULTS

Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended September 30, 2012 increased to $47.1 million from $38.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011. Adjusted EBITDA for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 increased to $165.7 million from $157.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. Adjusted EBITDA for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 includes a non-cash lower-of-cost-or-market “LCM” inventory adjustment.

On October 29, 2012, we announced a quarterly distribution of $0.68 per limited partner unit. This represents an increase of 1.5 percent over the last quarterly distribution and an increase of 6.3 percent over the distribution declared in the third quarter of 2011. Our distributable cash flow of $35.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012 provided a 0.7 times distribution coverage ratio adjusted for the timing of actual distributions paid during the quarter. The distribution coverage ratio adjusted for the timing of actual distributions paid during the last four quarters was approximately 0.9 times.

OPERATING RESULTS BY BUSINESS SEGMENT

Natural Gas Services— Adjusted segment EBITDA increased to $42.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012 from $38.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011. These results reflect the addition of the remaining 49.9% interest in East Texas and the Crossroads system acquisition, partially offset by lower commodity prices. 2011 results reflect planned turnaround activity and an extended planned third party outage at our Wyoming asset.

Adjusted segment EBITDA increased to $162.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 from $142.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, reflecting the addition of the remaining 49.9% interest in East Texas, the Crossroads system acquisition, and higher results in Southeast Texas, partially offset by lower commodity prices.

NGL Logistics — Adjusted segment EBITDA increased to $15.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012 from $9.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011, reflecting higher throughput on our pipelines and the July 2012 acquisition of the Mont Belvieu fractionators.

Adjusted segment EBITDA increased to $38.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 from $26.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, reflecting higher throughput on our pipelines as well as growth from the Wattenberg pipeline expansion project, the DJ Basin fractionators acquired in March 2011, and the July 2012 acquisition of the Mont Belvieu fractionators.

Wholesale Propane Logistics — Adjusted segment EBITDA decreased to $(0.1) million for the three months ended September 30, 2012 from $2.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011, reflecting reduced volumes and lower margins partially offset by a modest recovery in the non-cash LCM inventory adjustment recorded in the second quarter of 2012.

Adjusted segment EBITDA decreased to $(1.2) million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 from $23.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, reflecting the non-cash LCM inventory adjustment recorded in the second quarter of 2012 and decreased volumes as a result of near record warm weather.

CORPORATE AND OTHER

Decreased depreciation and amortization expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, as compared to the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2011, reflect a change in the estimated useful lives of our assets. Additionally, interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2012, is lower due to higher capitalized interest, partially offset by higher debt. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012 interest expense reflects higher debt, partially offset by higher capitalized interest.

CAPITALIZATION

At September 30, 2012, we had $1,038 million of total debt outstanding comprised of $598 million of senior notes, $300 million outstanding under our revolver and $140 million outstanding under the July 2012 term loan. Total unused revolver capacity was approximately $700 million. Our leverage ratio pursuant to our credit facility for the quarter ended September 30, 2012, was approximately 3.3 times. Our effective interest rate on our overall debt position, as of September 30, 2012, was 3.5 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 September 30, 2012, commodity derivative activity and total revenues included non-cash losses of $22.9 million. This compares to non-cash gains of $61.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011. The $3.0 million net hedge receipts for the three months ended September 30, 2012 did not include any amount for the Southeast Texas Storage business. The $6.5 million net hedge payments for the three months ended September 30, 2011 included receipts of $1.5 million for the Southeast Texas Storage business and $8.0 million of net payments for the balance of our commodity hedging program. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, commodity derivative activity and total revenues included non-cash gains of $19.3 million. This compares to non-cash gains of $49.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The $30.8 million net hedge receipts for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 were receipts of $29.6 million for commodity derivative activities related to the Southeast Texas Storage business and receipts of $1.2 million for the balance of our commodity hedging program. The $21.0 million net hedge payments for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 were receipts of $2.9 million for the Southeast Texas Storage business and $23.9 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 non-controlling 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 unit holders 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 non-controlling 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
• performance of our business excluding non-cash commodity derivative gains or losses;
• 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.
