Appendix: Non-GAAP Financial Measures 7 This presentation includes forecasted and historical non-GAAP financial measures, including “Gross Margin,” “Adjusted EBITDA” and “Distributable Cash Flow.” The GAAP measure most directly comparable to Gross Margin, Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow is net income (loss). Gross margin, adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flows are all non-GAAP financial measures. Each has important limitations as an analytical tool because it excludes some, but not all, items that affect the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. Management compensates for the limitations of these non-GAAP measures as analytical tools by reviewing the comparable GAAP measures, understanding the differences between the measures and incorporating these data points into management’s decision-making process. You should not consider any of gross margin, adjusted EBITDA or distributable cash flow in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Partnership's results as reported under GAAP. Gross margin, adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow may be defined differently by other companies in the Partnership's industry. The Partnership's definitions of these non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing their utility. We define adjusted EBITDA as net income, plus interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation expense, certain non-cash charges such as non-cash equity compensation, unrealized losses on commodity derivative contracts and selected charges that are unusual or nonrecurring, less interest income, income tax benefit, unrealized gains on commodity derivative contracts, amortization of commodity put purchase costs, and selected gains that are unusual or nonrecurring. The GAAP measure most directly comparable to adjusted EBITDA is net income. Distributable cash flow is a significant performance metric used by us and by external users of the Partnership's financial statements, such as investors, commercial banks and research analysts, to compare basic cash flows generated by us to the cash distributions we expect to pay the Partnership's unitholders. Using this metric, management and external users of the Partnership's financial statements can quickly compute the coverage ratio of estimated cash flows to planned cash distributions. Distributable cash flow is also an important financial measure for the Partnership's unitholders since it serves as an indicator of the Partnership's success in providing a cash return on investment. Specifically, this financial measure may indicate to investors whether we are generating cash flow at a level that can sustain or support an increase in the Partnership's quarterly distribution rates. Distributable cash flow is also a quantitative standard used throughout the investment community with respect to publicly traded partnerships and limited liability companies because the value of a unit of such an entity is generally determined by the unit's yield (which in turn is based on the amount of cash distributions the entity pays to a unitholder). Distributable cash flow will not reflect changes in working capital balances. We define distributable cash flow as adjusted EBITDA plus interest income, less cash paid for interest expense, normalized maintenance capital expenditures, and dividends related to the Series A convertible preferred units. The GAAP measure most comparable to distributable cash flow is net income. Gross margin and segment gross margin are metrics that we use to evaluate the Partnership's performance. We define segment gross margin in the Partnership's Gathering and Processing segment as revenue generated from gathering and processing operations less the cost of natural gas, NGLs and condensate purchased. Revenue includes revenue generated from fixed fees associated with the gathering and treating of natural gas and from the sale of natural gas, NGLs and condensate resulting from gathering and processing activities under fixed-margin and percent-of-proceeds arrangements. The cost of natural gas, NGLs and condensate includes volumes of natural gas, NGLs and condensate remitted back to producers pursuant to percent-of-proceeds arrangements and the cost of natural gas purchased for the Partnership's own account, including pursuant to fixed-margin arrangements. We define segment gross margin in the Partnership's Transmission segment as revenue generated from firm and interruptible transportation agreements and fixed-margin arrangements, plus other related fees, less the cost of natural gas purchased in connection with fixed-margin arrangements. We define segment gross margin in the Partnership's Terminals segment as revenue generated from fee-based compensation on guaranteed storage contracts and throughput fees charged to the Partnership's customers less direct operating expenses which includes direct labor, general materials and supplies and direct overhead. We define gross margin as the sum of the Partnership's segment gross margin for the Partnership's Gathering and Processing, Transmission and Terminals segments. The GAAP measure most comparable to gross margin is net income.


 
Appendix: Non-GAAP Financial Measures 8 (a) Amounts noted represent the straight-line amortization of the cost of commodity put contracts over the life of the contract. (b) Excludes amortization of debt issuance costs and mark-to-market adjustments related to interest rate derivatives. (c) Represents estimated annual maintenance capital expenditures of $5.2 million, which is what the Partnership expects to be required to maintain assets over the long term. (d) Represents estimated integrity management costs over the seven year mandatory testing cycle net of integrity management costs that are expensed in direct operating expenses. (e) Calculated on a pro-rata basis for the number of days the Series A units were outstanding during the given periods.


 
9 Appendix: Non-GAAP Financial Measures (a) Direct operating expenses includes Gathering and Processing segment direct operating expenses of $5.7 million and $3.6 million, respectively, and Transmission segment direct operating expenses of $3.7 million and $3.6 million, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013. Direct operating expenses related to our Terminals segment of $1.6 million and $1.2 million, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 are included within the calculation of Terminals segment gross margin. Direct operating expenses includes Gathering and Processing segment direct operating expenses of $9.9 million and $7.1 million, respectively, and Transmission segment direct operating expenses of $6.9 million and $4.9 million, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013. Direct operating expenses related to our Terminals segment of $3.2 million and $1.2 million, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 are included within the calculation of Terminals segment gross margin. (b) Other, net includes realized (loss) gain on commodity derivatives of $(0.1) million and $0.4 million and COMA income of $0.2 million and $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Other, net includes realized (loss) gain on commodity derivatives of $(0.2) million and $0.5 million and COMA income of $0.5 million and $0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
