ACCESS MIDSTREAM PARTNERS, L.P. REPORTS FINANCIAL
RESULTS FOR THE 2012 SECOND QUARTER
Partnership Reports 2012 Second Quarter Net Income of $52 Million, Adjusted Ebitda of $121 Million and Distributable Cash Flow of $87 Million
Partnership Increases Quarterly Distribution to $0.42 per Unit
OKLAHOMA CITY, OKLAHOMA, AUGUST 7, 2012 – ACCESS MIDSTREAM PARTNERS, L.P., (NYSE:ACMP), formerly Chesapeake Midstream Partners, L.P., today announced financial results for the 2012 second quarter. The Partnership’s 2012 second quarter net income totaled $51.6 million, an increase of $10.5 million, or 25.5%, from the 2011 second quarter. Adjusted ebitda for the 2012 second quarter was $120.9 million, up $41.6 million, or 52.5%, from 2011 second quarter adjusted ebitda of $79.3 million. The Partnership’s distributable cash flow (DCF) for the 2012 second quarter totaled $87.3 million, an increase of $29.3 million, or 50.5%, compared to the 2011 second quarter and resulted in a coverage ratio of 1.36. Partnership revenue for the 2012 second quarter was $149.3 million, an increase of $16.1 million, or 12.1%, compared to 2011 second quarter revenue of $133.2 million. Revenue for the 2012 second quarter excludes the Partnership’s Marcellus revenue as this ownership interest is accounted for as an unconsolidated equity investment. Financial terms are defined on pages two and three of this release.
Throughput for the 2012 second quarter totaled 261.0 billion cubic feet (bcf) of natural gas, or 2.87 bcf per day, an increase of 33.5% from 2011 second quarter throughput of 2.15 bcf per day. The increase was driven by throughput from gas gathering systems in the Marcellus Shale acquired in December 2011 as well as increased throughput in the Barnett Shale. The Partnership connected 179 new wells to its gathering systems during the 2012 second quarter, an increase of 25.2% compared to the 2011 second quarter.
Capital expenditures during the 2012 second quarter totaled $154.2 million, including maintenance capital expenditures of $18.5 million. With the expected increase in Marcellus capital spending, the Partnership is on track to meet the current capital expenditure outlook of $734 million for 2012.
Partnership Increases Cash Distribution
On July 27, 2012, the Board of Directors of the Partnership’s general partner declared a quarterly cash distribution of $0.42 per unit for the 2012 second quarter, a $0.0575, or 15.9%, increase over the 2011 second quarter distribution and a $0.015, or 3.7%, increase over the 2012 first quarter distribution. The distribution will be paid on August 14, 2012 to unitholders of record at the close of business on August 7, 2012. DCF for the 2012 second quarter of $87.3 million provided distribution coverage of 1.36 times the amount required for the Partnership to fund the distribution to both the general and limited partners.

Management Comments
J. Mike Stice, Access Midstream Partners’ Chief Executive Officer, commented, “While the Partnership’s name and ownership structure have changed, our commitment to executing on our best-in-class business model while maintaining a conservative balance sheet and investment grade credit metrics remains unchanged. The strong operating and financial results in the 2012 second quarter are further evidence of the Partnership’s ability to produce consistent results for our investors. This quarter continued to show the strong organic growth within our existing footprint. This sustained exposure to the most prolific unconventional plays in North America will be an important competitive advantage for many years to come.”

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release and accompanying schedules include the non-GAAP financial measures of adjusted ebitda, DCF and adjusted DCF. The accompanying schedules provide reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as an alternative to GAAP measures such as net income, net cash provided by operating activities or any other measure of liquidity or financial performance calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Investors should not consider adjusted ebitda, DCF or adjusted DCF in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Partnership’s results as reported under GAAP. Because these non-GAAP financial measures may be defined differently by other companies in our industry, the Partnership’s definition of adjusted ebitda, DCF and adjusted DCF may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing their utility.
Adjusted Ebitda. The Partnership agreement defines adjusted ebitda as net income (loss) before income tax expense, interest expense, depreciation and amortization expense and certain other items management believes affect the comparability of operating results. Adjusted ebitda is a non-GAAP financial measure that management and external users of our consolidated financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies, may use to assess:
·
|
The Partnership’s operating performance as compared to other publicly traded partnerships in the midstream energy industry, without regard to capital structure, historical cost basis or financing methods;
|
·
|
The Partnership’s ability to incur and service debt and fund capital expenditures;
|
·
|
The ability of the Partnership’s assets to generate sufficient cash flow to make distributions to unitholders; and
|
·
|
The viability of acquisitions and other capital expenditure projects and the returns on investment of various investment opportunities.
|
|
Management believes it is appropriate to exclude certain items from ebitda because management believes these items affect the comparability of operating results. The Partnership believes that the presentation of adjusted ebitda in this press release provides information useful to investors in assessing its financial condition and results of operations. The GAAP measure most directly comparable to adjusted ebitda is net income.
Distributable Cash Flow. The Partnership agreement defines DCF as adjusted ebitda attributable to the Partnership adjusted for:
·
|
Addition of interest income;
|
|
·
|
Subtraction of net cash paid for interest expense;
|
·
|
Subtraction of maintenance capital expenditures; and
|
|
·
|
Subtraction of income taxes.
|
Management compares the DCF the Partnership generates to the cash distributions it expects to pay its partners. Using this metric, management computes a distribution coverage ratio. DCF is an important non-GAAP financial measure for our limited partners since it serves as an indicator of our success in providing a cash return on investment. Specifically, this financial measure indicates to investors whether or not the Partnership is generating cash flows at a level that can sustain or support an increase in its quarterly cash distributions. DCF is also a quantitative standard used by the investment community with respect to publicly traded partnerships because the value of a partnership unit is in part measured by its yield, which is based on the amount of cash distributions a partnership can pay to a unitholder. The GAAP measure most directly comparable to DCF is net cash provided by operating activities.
Adjusted Distributable Cash Flow. The Partnership includes the quarterly impact of contractual minimum volume commitments that are not recognized until the fourth quarter of each year in its calculation of adjusted DCF for the purpose of calculating the distribution coverage ratio.
