Crestwood Equity Announces Third Quarter 2013

Financial and Operating Results

Merged partnerships, organic infrastructure projects and Arrow Midstream

acquisition position CEQP for accelerated growth

HOUSTON, TEXAS, November 7, 2013 – Crestwood Equity Partners LP (NYSE: CEQP) (“Crestwood Equity” or “CEQP”) reported today its unaudited financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2013. Our quarter results include the consolidated results of Crestwood Midstream Partners LP (“Legacy Crestwood Midstream”), Inergy Midstream, L.P. (“Legacy Inergy Midstream”) and Crestwood Equity (formerly known as Inergy, L.P.) for the full three months ended September 30, 2013.1 As previously announced, Legacy Crestwood Midstream merged into Legacy Inergy Midstream on October 7, 2013 with Legacy Inergy Midstream surviving the merger and immediately thereafter changing its name to Crestwood Midstream Partners LP (NYSE:CMLP) (“Crestwood Midstream” or “CMLP”).

“We are pleased to have completed the combination of Crestwood and Inergy announced in May 2013,” stated Robert G. Phillips, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Crestwood Equity’s general partner. “With the consolidation of our general partnerships in June and the merger of our underlying partnerships in October, we have created a mid-cap, midstream family of MLPs that has substantial growth potential in the current industry environment.”

“While the current quarter’s financial and operating results are based on the consolidated standalone operations of CEQP, Legacy Crestwood Midstream and Legacy Inergy Midstream, the expected benefits from the merger integration process and improving results from CMLP’s underlying operating businesses, combined with the significant progress on CMLP’s announced organic projects and its recently announced acquisition of Arrow Midstream, creates an exciting growth platform for both CMLP and CEQP. Through our ownership of CMLP’s general partner and incentive distribution rights, Crestwood Equity is strategically aligned to benefit from this growth. We expect to further communicate our financial and operational goals for 2014 in early December 2013,” Phillips added.

The nine-month operating results included in the accompanying tables include the consolidated results of Crestwood Gas Services GP LLC (“Crestwood GP”) and Legacy Crestwood Midstream for the full nine months ending September 30, 2013, and the contribution from Crestwood Equity and Legacy Inergy Midstream for the period subsequent to Crestwood Holdings LLC’s acquisition of CEQP’s general partner on June 19, 2013.

CEQP Quarterly Highlights

 

    Reported adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and accretion (“Adjusted EBITDA”) of $99.9 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2013;

 

    Declared a quarterly cash distribution of $0.135 per limited partner unit to CEQP unitholders, payable on November 14, 2013. The third quarter 2013 distribution represents a 4% increase over the distribution for the second quarter 2013; and

 

    Recorded a net loss of $7.9 million for the third quarter, which included the impact of approximately $28.1 million of significant items, the largest of which were $13.1 million of merger related costs and settlement of certain litigation and $9.7 million of non-cash losses on derivative instruments. Excluding significant items, net income totaled $20.2 million for the third quarter.

Crestwood Equity’s financial results for the current quarter include contributions from its general partner ownership interests in Legacy Crestwood Midstream and Legacy Inergy Midstream prior to the merger described above, and the results of operations from CEQP’s midstream assets, including its coast-to-coast natural gas liquids (“NGL”) logistics business and its Texas-based natural gas storage facility.

Integration Update

Since acquiring control of Crestwood Equity on June 19, 2013, Crestwood Holdings, our general partner, has been conducting a comprehensive integration of CEQP, Legacy Crestwood Midstream, and Legacy Inergy Midstream’s operations.

In addition to the merger integration process, we have been evaluating CEQP’s operating assets relative to the post-merger structure of CMLP and CEQP’s long term growth strategies and objectives. While CEQP’s nationwide NGL business continues to perform at a high level due to the industry’s increased focus on new NGL supplies and demand for NGL infrastructure, CEQP’s Texas-based natural gas storage asset, Tres Palacios, continues to be challenged due to the further weakening of regional gas storage fundamentals, including reduced seasonal gas price spreads and less volatility due to the continuation of an oversupplied gas market in the Gulf Coast region. This trend is expected to continue for the next several quarters. As a result, CEQP has commenced a series of cost reduction initiatives at Tres Palacios that should begin to favorably impact performance next year. We are also evaluating commercial strategies to increase utilization of the storage facility in the near term

and exploring strategic options that could better position Crestwood Equity for long term growth. We expect these cost-saving and revenue enhancement steps, combined with continued growth from our NGL business and increased contributions from CMLP, to drive CEQP’s future distribution growth beginning in 2014.

Third Quarter 2013 Results

Adjusted EBITDA was approximately $99.9 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2013, which was driven primarily by the EBITDA of our three segments. EBITDA of the Gathering and Processing segment totaled $43.2 million for the third quarter 2013, compared with $41.8 million for the third quarter 2012. The increase was primarily due to compression and pipeline assets acquired and placed in service in the Marcellus Shale region. EBITDA of the Storage and Transportation segment totaled $34.9 million driven primarily by the Stagecoach natural gas storage facility and the MARC I pipeline, which contributed $27.6 million of the segment’s EBITDA during the three months ended September 30, 2013. EBITDA of the NGL and Crude Services segment totaled $21.8 million, which reflects the significant EBITDA contribution from our coast-to-coast NGL logistics business and the COLT Hub during the quarter.

Crestwood Midstream Partners LP (NYSE: CMLP) has included additional standalone financial information for the quarter ended September 30, 2013 for Legacy Crestwood Midstream and Legacy Inergy Midstream through a separate news release issued today. Please see CMLP’s news release for more information on its operations, organic growth projects and the recently announced Arrow Midstream acquisition.

CEQP’s operations (outside of those owned by Legacy Crestwood Midstream and Legacy Inergy Midstream) generated Adjusted EBITDA of $15.3 million in the quarter, which was impacted by lower firm natural gas storage and hub services revenues at Tres Palacios and significant contributions from CEQP’s NGL business.

Basis of Presentation and Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted distributable cash flow are non-GAAP financial measures. The accompanying schedules of this news release provide reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Our non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as alternatives to GAAP measures such as net income or operating income or any other GAAP measure of liquidity or financial performance.

(a) EBITDA is defined as income before income taxes, plus net interest and debt expense, and depreciation, amortization and accretion expense. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA considers the impact of certain significant items, such as the gain or loss on economically hedged transactions not designated as hedges for accounting purposes, long-term incentive and equity compensation expenses, gain on contingent consideration, gain on the sale of assets, goodwill impairment and third party costs incurred related to potential and completed acquisitions, settlement of certain litigations, and other transactions identified in a specific reporting period. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not measures calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), as they do not include deductions for items such as depreciation, amortization and accretion, interest and income taxes, which are necessary to maintain our business. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered an alternative to net income, operating cash flow or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA calculations may vary among entities, so our computation may not be comparable to measures used by other companies.
(b) Cash interest expense is book interest expense less amortization of deferred financing costs.
(c) Maintenance capital expenditures are defined as those capital expenditures which do not increase operating capacity or revenues from existing levels.
(d) The amount represents CEQP’s distributable cash flow prior to the acquisition of CEQP’s general partner by Crestwood Holdings on June 19, 2013. The distributable cash flow in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 includes the results of CEQP’s retail propane operations disposed on August 1, 2012.
(e) Distributable cash flow is defined as Adjusted EBITDA, less cash interest expense, maintenance capital expenditures, income taxes, deficiency payments (primarily related to deferred revenue), and Legacy Inergy Midstream and Legacy Crestwood Midstream distributions paid for minority unitholders. Distributable cash flow should not be considered an alternative to cash flows from operating activities or any other measure of financial performance calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles as those items are used to measure operating performance, liquidity, or the ability to service debt obligations. We believe that distributable cash flow provides additional information for evaluating our ability to declare and pay distributions to unitholders. Distributable cash flow, as we define it, may not be comparable to distributable cash flow or similarly titled measures used by other corporations and partnerships.
