ENERGY TRANSFER PARTNERS, L.P.
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The following unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information of Energy Transfer Partners, L.P. (“ETP”) reflects the pro forma impacts of ETP’s proposed merger with Regency Energy Partners LP (“Regency”), which was announced on January 26, 2015 (the “Regency Merger”).

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet gives effect to the Regency Merger as if it had occurred on December 31, 2014; the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations assume that the Regency Merger was consummated on January 1, 2012. The unaudited pro forma condensed balance sheet and condensed consolidated statements of operations should be read in conjunction with (i) ETP's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 and (ii) Regency's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are for illustrative purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of the financial results that would have occurred if the Regency Merger had been consummated on the dates indicated, nor are they necessarily indicative of the financial position or results of operations in the future. The pro forma adjustments, as described in the accompanying notes, are based upon available information and certain assumptions that are believed to be reasonable as of the date of this document.

Summary of the Regency Merger

On January 26, 2015, ETP and Regency announced their entry into a definitive merger agreement, and on February 18, 2015, ETP and Regency amended the merger agreement. Under the terms of the amended definitive merger agreement, holders of Regency common and Class F units will receive 0.4066 ETP Common Units plus a number of additional ETP Common Units equal to $0.32 per Regency unit divided by the lesser of (i) the volume weighted average price of ETP Common Units for the five trading days ending on the third trading day immediately preceding the effective time of the Regency Merger and (ii) the closing price of ETP Common Units on the third trading day immediately preceding the effective time of the Regency Merger.

In addition, Energy Transfer Equity, L.P. (“ETE”), which owns the general partner and 100% of the incentive distribution rights (“IDRs”) of both Regency and ETP, has agreed to reduce the incentive distributions it receives from ETP by a total of $320 million over a five year period. The IDR subsidy will be $80 million in the first year post closing and $60 million per year for the following four years. The transaction is expected to close in the second quarter of 2015.

ETP and Regency are under common control of ETE; therefore, we expect to account for the Regency Merger at historical cost as a reorganization of entities under common control. Accordingly, ETP’s consolidated financial statements will be retrospectively adjusted to reflect consolidation of Regency beginning May 26, 2010 (the date ETE acquired Regency’s general partner).

ENERGY TRANSFER PARTNERS, L.P.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are for illustrative purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of the financial results that would have occurred if the Regency Merger had been consummated on the dates indicated, nor are they necessarily indicative of the financial position or results of operations in the future. The pro forma adjustments, as described in the accompanying notes, are based upon available information and certain assumptions that are believed to be reasonable as of the date of this document.

Pro Forma Adjustments

Following is a description of the pro forma adjustments made to the combined historical financial statements of ETP and Regency:

a.
Pro forma adjustments to eliminate related party balances and transactions between ETP and Regency, including commercial transactions, as well as fees for services provided under an operating and service agreement between ETP and Regency. These adjustments also include the elimination of profit recognized by a subsidiary of ETP from sales of equipment to Regency, including elimination of the cumulative amount of ETP’s profit related to such equipment sales included in Regency’s property, plant and equipment, net, as of December 31, 2014.
b.
Pro forma adjustments to eliminate Regency’s investment in Lone Star NGL LLC (“Lone Star”), a consolidated subsidiary of ETP. ETP owns a 70% interest in Lone Star, and Regency owns a 30% interest in Lone Star. Regency’s interest in Lone Star is reflected as a noncontrolling interest in ETP’s historical consolidated financial statements and is reflected as an equity method investment in Regency’s historical consolidated financial statements.
c.
Pro forma adjustment to eliminate limited partner interests in Regency held by a subsidiary of ETP. ETP indirectly owns 31.4 million Regency common units and all of the outstanding Regency Class F units; these interests were acquired in the SUGS Contribution (described below) on April 30, 2013. These limited partner interests are expected to convert to limited partner interests in ETP upon the closing of the merger, and the related amounts will subsequently be eliminated from ETP’s consolidated financial statements.
d.
Pro forma adjustments to limited partners’ income from continuing operations reflect the elimination of intercompany earnings between ETP and Regency. In addition, for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, $7 million and $4 million, respectively, of income attributable to Regency’s Class F units was reclassified from “other securities” to “limited partners” based on the assumed conversion of Regency’s Class F units to common units.
e.
Pro forma weighted average limited partner units outstanding reflects (i) the assumed conversion of Regency’s common and Class F units to ETP common units, based on the weighted average of Regency’s common and Class F units outstanding during the respective periods multiplied by the conversion rate of 0.4066 and (ii) the assumed issuance of approximately 1.1 million additional ETP common units on January 1, 2012 based on the portion of the additional unit consideration described above. In addition, for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, the pro forma weighted average also reflects the elimination of Regency common units held by a subsidiary of ETP (see additional information in note (c) above).
f.
Pro forma adjustments to eliminate the results of operations of Southern Union Gas Services (“SUGS”) for the period from March 26, 2012 through April 30, 2013, as such results are included in the historical consolidated financial statements of both ETP and Regency. ETP contributed SUGS to Regency on April 30, 2013 (the “SUGS Contribution”). The SUGS Contribution was a reorganization of entities under common control; accordingly, Regency retrospectively adjusted its historical consolidated financial statements to reflect the consolidation of SUGS beginning March 26, 2012 (the date that common control of SUGS began). ETP’s historical consolidated financial statements continued to reflect SUGS’ results of operations for March 26, 2012 through April 30, 2013. As a result, SUGS’ results of operations are included in the historical consolidated financial statements of both ETP and Regency for the period from March 26, 2012 through April 30, 2013.
