SemGroup Corporation Reports Third Quarter 2014 Results
Third Quarter Adjusted EBITDA Increased 38% Over Previous Quarter
Increased Quarterly Dividend by 11%


Tulsa, OK - November 6, 2014 - SemGroup® Corporation (NYSE: SEMG) today announced its financial results for the three months ended September 30, 2014.

SemGroup's adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (Adjusted EBITDA) was $79.4 million for the third quarter 2014, compared to $57.5 million for the second quarter 2014 and $52.1 million for the third quarter 2013, an increase of approximately 38% over the previous quarter and up 52%, year over year. Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP measure, is reconciled to net income below.

"Our exceptional third quarter results were the product of strong performance across our businesses and indicative of the continued substantial demand for services throughout our business footprint," said Carlin Conner, president and chief executive officer of SemGroup. "Our assets, which contribute to more than 85% fixed fee margins, are located in some of the most active oil and gas producing basins in the country. This combined with a growing and diverse footprint, positions us well for continued growth."

Third Quarter 2014 Highlights
Compared to the Second Quarter 2014
Crude increased $10.3 million    
$4.6 million increase driven by increased White Cliffs Pipeline transportation volumes
$2.3 million increase related to higher transportation volumes, excluding White Cliffs Pipeline
$1.7 million decrease in G&A expenses primarily due to rating agency fees and drop down costs incurred during second quarter
SemCAMS increased $8.8 million
$3.6 million increase related to higher capital fee recoveries
$3.4 million increase as a result of higher volumes which were primarily impacted by the planned outage at the K3 Plant
$1.8 million increase related to operating expense recoveries

SemGroup reported revenues for third quarter 2014 of $594.2 million with net income attributable to SemGroup of $25.3 million, or $0.59 per diluted share, compared to revenues of $482.2 million with a net loss attributable to SemGroup of $17.6 million, or a loss of $(0.41) per diluted share, for the second quarter 2014. For the third quarter 2013, revenues totaled $357.7 million with a net loss attributable to SemGroup of $(1.9) million, or a loss of $(0.05) per diluted share.

Dividend
The SemGroup board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend to common shareholders of $0.30 per share, resulting in an annualized distribution of $1.20 per share. This represents an 11% increase from the previous quarterly dividend of $0.27 and a 43% increase over our dividend one year ago. The dividend will be paid on November 28, 2014 to all common shareholders of record on November 17, 2014.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted EBITDA is not a generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) measure and is not intended to be used in lieu of a GAAP presentation of net income/loss. Adjusted EBITDA is presented in this Press Release because SemGroup believes it provides additional information with respect to its performance. Adjusted EBITDA represents earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, adjusted for selected items that SemGroup believes impact the comparability of financial results between reporting periods. Although SemGroup presents selected items that it considers in evaluating its performance, you should also be aware that the items presented do not represent all items that affect comparability between the periods presented. Variations in SemGroup's operating results are also caused by changes in volumes, prices, exchange rates, mechanical interruptions and numerous other factors. These types of variances are not separately identified in this Press Release. Because all companies do not use identical calculations, SemGroup's presentation of Adjusted EBITDA may be different from similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing its utility. Reconciliations of net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA for the periods presented are included in the tables at the end of this Press Release.
