Crestwood Equity Announces Fourth Quarter 2013

Financial and Operating Results

Conference call with management to be held today at 9:00 a.m. Central Time

HOUSTON, TEXAS, February 26, 2014 – Crestwood Equity Partners LP (NYSE: CEQP) (“Crestwood Equity” or “CEQP”) reported today its financial results for the three months and year ended December 31, 2013. As previously announced, Crestwood Holdings Partners LLC acquired CEQP’s general partner on June 19, 2013. As part of that transaction, Crestwood Midstream Partners LP (“Legacy Crestwood Midstream”) agreed to merge into Inergy Midstream, L.P. (“Legacy Inergy Midstream”). The merger was completed on October 7, 2013, and immediately following completion, Legacy Inergy Midstream and Inergy, L.P. changed their names to Crestwood Midstream Partners LP (NYSE: CMLP) (“Crestwood Midstream” or “CMLP”) and Crestwood Equity, respectively. The full-year 2013 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 year ended December 31, 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.

Crestwood Midstream owns the majority of the assets of the consolidated results herein. Crestwood Equity directly owns Tres Palacios Gas Storage and the NGL supply and logistics business which also includes its West Coast facility. Crestwood Midstream today issued a separate news release reporting stand-alone results for its operations.

“We are excited about the growth platform for the Crestwood partnerships which we created through the Inergy merger,” stated Robert G. Phillips, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Crestwood’s general partner. “Crestwood is now well positioned in the most active shale plays, with an excellent nationwide asset portfolio to provide services across the midstream value chain. Additionally, the merger and our 2013 acquisitions provide Crestwood with a substantial backlog of growth projects in the Marcellus, Bakken and Powder River Basin Niobrara Shale plays that will drive 2014-2015 growth as these plays continue to be actively developed by producers.

“Related specifically to the assets directly owned by Crestwood Equity, we were pleased with fourth quarter 2013 performance which was in-line with our expectations. Crestwood Equity’s NGL and Crude Services assets had a strong quarter, posting a 10% increase in EBITDA from the third quarter 2013, after adjusting for fair value changes on derivative contracts. Colder winter weather throughout the Northeast market areas increased the demand for our NGL storage, transportation and marketing services. In addition, we continue to make good progress at Tres Palacios, and we remain on track to reduce lease storage payments and property taxes in 2014 as we discussed last quarter. Overall, based

on the expected growth in our NGL business and the cost savings initiatives at Tres Palacios in 2014, the outlook for CEQP’s operating assets plus the growing contribution of incentive distribution rights of CMLP, continue to support our expectations for increased distributable cash flow at CEQP in 2014,” stated Phillips.

Fourth Quarter 2013 Financial Highlights

 

    Reported adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and accretion (“Adjusted EBITDA”) of $110.6 million, an 11% increase over Adjusted EBITDA of $99.9 million in the third quarter 2013 (Adjusted EBITDA is a Non-GAAP measure. Please refer to the financial tables accompanying this release for reconciliation to GAAP.);

 

    Reported a net loss of $42.1 million which included $59 million of certain non-cash charges and transaction-related expenses. Excluding these items, net income would have been $16.9 million in the fourth quarter 2013. Net loss in the third quarter 2013 was $7.9 million, which included $18.7 million of certain non-cash charges and transaction-related expenses;

 

    Excluding the $31.4 million earn-out noted below and changes in fair value on derivative contracts, EBITDA generated by operating segments totaled $122.9 million, a 12% increase from EBITDA of $109.6 million in the third quarter 2013;

 

    EBITDA of CEQP operational assets increased by 18% to $21.1 million in the fourth quarter, compared with $17.9 million in the third quarter 2013, reflecting favorable operating margins in the NGL wholesale and West Coast operations;

 

    EBITDA of CMLP operational assets increased 11% to $101.8 million in the fourth quarter, compared with $91.7 million in the third quarter 2013, reflecting the contribution of Marcellus expansion projects completed during the quarter in the Gathering and Processing segment and the partial quarter contribution to the NGL and Crude Services segment from the Arrow acquisition completed in November 2013; and

 

    Fourth quarter 2013 results include a $31.4 million non-cash accrual for an earn-out payment associated with the acquisition of the Marcellus gathering system from Antero Resources (“Antero”) in 2012, $17.8 million of transaction-related expenses associated primarily with the Crestwood Midstream merger, and $9.8 million of non-cash equity-based compensation. The Antero earn-out accrual represents the current estimated fair value of a potential payment to Antero in the first quarter 2015, which will be based on actual gathering volumes on the Marcellus systems during 2012, 2013 and 2014 compared to volume targets negotiated as a part of the original acquisition. The accrual in the fourth quarter 2013 reflects our forecast that based on current Antero drilling plans, Antero’s actual volumes for the three-year period will exceed our initial forecasts.

Fourth Quarter 2013 Distributions

On January 23, 2014, Crestwood Equity announced a $0.1375 per limited partner unit cash distribution that was paid on February 14, 2014. The fourth quarter 2013 distribution represents a 2% increase over the distribution paid for the third quarter 2013.

Distributions paid to CEQP totaled $10.4 million related to CMLP’s fourth quarter 2013 distribution, including $7.5 million related to the incentive distribution rights owned by CEQP, a 14% increase over the amount received by CEQP related to the third quarter 2013 distribution.

Fourth Quarter 2013 Financial and Operating Results

Adjusted EBITDA totaled $110.6 million for the fourth quarter 2013, an 11% increase from Adjusted EBITDA of $99.9 million in the third quarter 2013.

EBITDA of the Gathering and Processing segment for the fourth quarter 2013, excluding the $31.4 million non-cash charge related to the Antero earn-out provision, totaled $47.5 million, a 10% increase over the third quarter 2013. Total fourth quarter 2013 gathering and compression volumes were up 6% and 30% respectively to 1.086 billion cubic feet per day (“Bcf/d”) and 347 million cubic feet per day (“MMcf/d”) from 1.024 Bcf/d and 267 MMcf/d respectively in the third quarter 2013. The increase in both gathering and compression volumes were negatively impacted by severe cold weather across the U.S. during the fourth quarter, which resulted in production shut-ins and slower drilling and completion activities by producers in some areas. The improvement in compression volumes was directly attributable to the completion of new compression projects recently placed in service in the Marcellus region. All of the assets in the Gathering and Processing segment are owned by CMLP.

EBITDA in the NGL and Crude Services segment totaled $39.3 million during the fourth quarter of 2013, compared with $21.8 million in the third quarter 2013. EBITDA attributable to assets owned by CMLP and CEQP totaled $20.7 million and $18.6 million, respectively, during the fourth quarter 2013, compared with $15.1 million and $6.7 million, respectively, during the third quarter 2013. The increase in EBITDA of CMLP owned assets was primarily attributable to the partial contribution from the Arrow assets. The increase in EBITDA of CEQP owned assets was primarily the result of the contribution from our NGL business due to strong demand for our supply and logistics services due to severe winter weather.

EBITDA in the Storage and Transportation segment totaled $36.7 million for the fourth quarter 2013, compared with $34.9 million for the third quarter 2013. EBITDA attributable to assets owned by CMLP totaled $33.6 million during the fourth quarter, compared with $33.4 million during the third quarter 2013. Storage facilities owned by CMLP continue to operate at fully contracted capacity. EBITDA resulting from the Tres Palacios facility (which

is the only operating asset in the Storage and Transportation segment owned directly by CEQP) totaled $3.1 million during the fourth quarter, $1.6 million higher than the third quarter 2013, primarily due to lower property tax expense.

Corporate includes operating and administrative expenses not allocated to the operating segments above. Corporate expenses attributable to CMLP and CEQP totaled $36.7 million and $3.9 million, respectively, during the fourth quarter 2013, compared with $25.2 million and $3.9 million, respectively, during the third quarter 2013. The increase in Corporate expenses was primarily attributable to significant transaction-related expenses and non-cash compensation expense due to accelerated vesting as a result of the completion of the merger of Legacy Crestwood Midstream and Legacy Inergy Midstream.

Project Update and 2014 Business Outlook

The information provided below relates to operating assets owned directly by CEQP. Additional information on project updates and business outlook related to the operating assets owned directly by CMLP is included in a separate news release issued by CMLP today.

Gulf Coast Storage

In December 2013, Crestwood Equity announced its strategy to reduce costs by up to $10 million at Tres Palacios through the combination of (i) requesting FERC authorization to reduce the facility’s certificated capacity by up to 60% (potentially reducing its working gas capacity to as low as 15.5 Bcf), which would reduce the storage lease expense for the facility, and (ii) pursuing property tax relief through revaluation of tax appraisals for the facility that are not indicative of real asset value and market conditions. In response to its abandonment application, Crestwood Equity has received full support from its customers and expects to receive FERC approval in the first half of 2014. Crestwood Equity also expects to realize $4 million in savings due to property tax reductions in 2014.

Additionally, Crestwood Equity continues to make progress on potential NGL storage opportunities around Tres Palacios as well as positioning the asset to capitalize on increasing future natural gas demand in the U.S. Gulf Coast and Mexico.

NGL Supply & Logistics

Nationwide, Crestwood Equity handled and marketed more than 350,000 barrels per day (“Bbls/d”) of NGLs in the fourth quarter 2013, capping a strong quarter driven by unprecedented propane demand and basis, particularly in the Northeast. Post-merger, Crestwood’s nationwide asset footprint, coupled with extensive relationships on the demand and supply side of the value chain, is beginning to attract customers’ interest. This is leading to greater opportunity to cross-sell services and provides further confidence in Crestwood’s ability to grow its NGL supply and logistics business by greater than 10% annually.

Liquidity and Capital Spending

At December 31, 2013, debt outstanding was composed primarily of $1,461 million of fixed-rate senior notes issued by Crestwood Midstream, approximately $415 million outstanding under Crestwood Midstream’s revolving credit facility and $381 million outstanding under Crestwood Equity’s revolving credit facility.

In October 2013, Moody’s and Standard & Poor’s reaffirmed corporate credit ratings for Crestwood Midstream of Ba3 (stable) and BB (stable), respectively.

Organic growth capital expenditures for the year ended December 31, 2013, totaled approximately $320 million. The majority of capital spending related to construction of pipeline laterals and compression equipment in the Marcellus Shale and expansion of the COLT Hub in the Bakken Shale. Acquisitions during 2013 included the $108 million acquisition of a 50% interest in the Jackalope Gas Gathering system in July, the $23 million acquisition of an approximate 50% interest in the Douglas crude oil rail loading facility in September, and the $750 million Arrow acquisition in November.

Basis of Presentation and Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Pursuant to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), the acquisition of Crestwood Marcellus Midstream (“CMM”) in January 2013 was accounted for as a reorganization of entities under common control. As such, the historic operations of CMM were retroactively adjusted to reflect Legacy Crestwood Midstream’s results as if Legacy Crestwood Midstream owned 100% of CMM since CMM’s formation and commencement of operations at the end of March 2012. Full year 2012 results were recast in a Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 10, 2013. Information related to 2012 reflected in this news release reflects the recast nature of these amounts.

(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 adjusted earnings impact of our unconsolidated affiliates by adjusting our equity earnings or losses from our unconsolidated affiliates for our proportionate share of their depreciation and interest, the impact of certain significant items, such as non-cash equity compensation expenses, gains and impairments of long-lived assets and goodwill, third party costs incurred related to potential and completed acquisitions, gain or loss on contingent consideration, 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 less amortization of deferred financing costs plus bond premium amortization plus or minus fair value adjustment of interest rate swaps.
(c) Maintenance capital expenditures are defined as those capital expenditures which do not increase operating capacity or revenues from existing levels.
(d) Crestwood Midstream adjusted distributable cash flow less incentive distributions paid to the general partner and the public LP ownership interest in Crestwood Midstream.
(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 public Crestwood Midstream LP unitholders interest in CMLP adjusted distributable cash flow. 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.
