Crestwood Announces Third Quarter 2015
Financial and Operating Results
HOUSTON, TEXAS, November 3, 2015 – Crestwood Equity Partners LP (NYSE: CEQP) (“Crestwood Equity” or “Crestwood”) reported today its financial and operating results for the three months ended September 30, 2015.
Third Quarter 2015 Highlights1
| • | Third quarter 2015 adjusted EBITDA of $133.5 million, a 4% increase over $128.9 million in the third quarter 2014; First nine months 2015 adjusted EBITDA of $408.5 million, a 12% increase over $363.2 million in the first nine months 2014 |

These goodwill impairments were largely attributed to discount rate increases resulting from continued commodity price volatility and Crestwood’s current unit price |
| • | Distributable cash flow of $91.6 million, compared to $96.0 million in third quarter 2014, resulting in a third quarter 2015 cash distribution coverage ratio of 0.97x; trailing twelve months cash distribution ratio of 1.02x |
| • | Closed the merger between Crestwood Equity and Crestwood Midstream Partners LP (“CMLP” or “Crestwood Midstream”), with CMLP’s unitholders receiving 2.75 Crestwood Equity units for each CMLP unit owned |

| • | Declared third quarter cash distribution of $0.1375 per common unit, or $0.55 per common unit on an annualized basis, payable on November 13, 2015 to unitholders of record as of November 6, 2015 |
Recent Announcements
| • | Exclusive negotiations with First Reserve to form a joint venture with initial combined equity capital commitments of $500 million to pursue growth opportunities in the Delaware Permian Basin, including the multi-product gathering system and Delta crude pipeline system described below |

guidance targets,” stated Robert G. Phillips, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Crestwood’s general partner. “We continue to put Crestwood in better position to compete for new business and our core assets continue to demonstrate stable performance in the face of commodity price volatility due to our largely fixed-fee contract portfolio. I am very pleased with our operations teams who delivered another quarter of low cost and safe operations while providing best-in-class customer service across Crestwood’s diverse midstream platform.”
Mr. Phillips added, “We are also excited about working with First Reserve, our general partner, to pursue new growth opportunities in the Delaware Permian Basin which is one of the most active oil and gas development area in the country by rig count. The pace of supply development, our current asset footprint, identified growth projects and Crestwood’s experience with 3-stream gathering systems, oil terminals and oil pipelines in the Bakken, are the drivers for the Delaware Permian basin to become an important addition to our asset portfolio and a significant cash flow contributor to Crestwood by the second half of 2017. First Reserve’s commitment to provide significant upfront capital for these new growth opportunities further demonstrates its support for Crestwood and its strategic plan.”
Simplification Merger Closed
On September 30, 2015, Crestwood Equity closed its merger with CMLP, which resulted in CMLP becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Crestwood Equity and ceasing to be a publicly-traded partnership. Beyond simplifying Crestwood’s partnership structure and reducing its public-company costs, the elimination of CMLP’s incentive distribution rights is expected to improve Crestwood’s capital structure and improve its competitive position in the industry. CMLP unitholders became unitholders of Crestwood Equity in a tax free exchange, with CMLP’s unitholders receiving 2.75 units of Crestwood Equity for each CMLP unit held at the completion of the merger. Crestwood Equity also contributed its remaining operating assets (consisting of its NGL supply, logistics, storage and transportation assets) to CMLP contemporaneously with the closing of the transaction.
Third Quarter 2015 Segment Results
In conjunction with closing of the simplification merger, Crestwood’s business and financial segments were modified to reflect the following reporting segments: (i) Gathering and Processing (G&P), which includes our natural gas, crude oil and water G&P operations; (ii) Storage and Transportation, which includes our natural gas and crude oil storage and transportation operations; and (iii) Marketing, Supply and Logistics (formerly NGL and crude services operations), which includes our NGL supply and logistics business, crude oil transportation fleet, and salt production business. As a result of these modifications, the operating and financial results of our Arrow operations are now reflected in the gathering and processing operations and the COLT Hub and Douglas Terminal operations are now reflected in the storage and transportation operations. All historical operational statistics and financial results prior to the closing of the simplification merger have been adjusted according to these segment modifications for period over period comparisons.
Gathering and Processing segment EBITDA totaled $64.5 million in the third quarter 2015, exclusive of non-cash goodwill impairments noted below, compared to $64.6 million in the third quarter 2014. During the third quarter 2015, average natural gas gathering volumes were 1,087 million cubic feet per day (“MMcf/d”), crude oil gathering volumes were 70 MBbls/d, processing volumes were 227 MMcf/d and compression volumes were 538 MMcf/d. Highlights during the quarter included increased gathering volumes and a 39% year-over-year reduction of operating expenses on the Arrow Bakken system, improved volumes and operating performance at the Bucking Horse PRB Niobrara processing plant, and higher volumes and improved operating performance at the Willow Lake processing plant in the Delaware Permian basin. Segment performance was impacted by lower gathering volumes in the southwest Marcellus and Barnett regions due to lower natural gas prices, downstream constraints and natural production declines.

Storage and Transportation segment EBITDA totaled $49.0 million in the third quarter 2015, exclusive of non-cash goodwill impairments noted below, compared to $48.7 million in the third quarter 2014. During the third quarter 2015 and 2014, natural gas storage and transportation volumes averaged 1.9 Bcf/d. The COLT Hub contributed EBITDA of $17.3 million, a 12% increase from $15.5 million in the third quarter 2014, primarily as a result of higher take-or-pay revenues at the facility.
Marketing, Supply and Logistics segment EBITDA totaled $27.3 million in the third quarter 2015, exclusive of non-cash goodwill impairments noted below and non-cash fair value adjustments on commodity inventory-based derivative contracts, compared to $24.1 million in the third quarter 2014. Segment EBITDA increased during the quarter due to a meaningful outperformance in Crestwood’s NGL wholesale marketing and NGL storage and terminal business which took advantage of Crestwood’s strong NGL supply position in the Marcellus/Utica region to market, transport and store NGLs for our customers in the Northeast US.
Excluding significant costs and non-cash unit-based compensation charges, combined operations and maintenance and general and administrative expenses in the third quarter 2015 were reduced by 7%, or $4.6 million, compared to the third quarter 2014. Crestwood continues to outperform its targeted $15 million of cost savings in 2015 and run-rate savings of $25 million to $30 million per year.
Business Update and Outlook
Bakken Arrow Gathering System
In the third quarter 2015, Crestwood connected 20 wells to the Arrow gathering system, resulting in average gathering volumes of 70 MBbls/d of crude, 43 MMcf/d of gas and 27 MBbls/d of water, compared to average gathering volumes of 65 MBbls/d of crude, 40 MMcf/d of gas and 20 MBbls/d of water in the third quarter 2014. Recently, crude oil production on the Arrow system achieved a new record of approximately 80 MBbls/d and producers are still on-track to complete approximately 75 wells in 2015. Also during the quarter, one of our producers extended its gathering agreement, committed to additional drilling and minimum volume commitments and received an incentive gathering rate on volumes produced during 2016-2018. The new agreement anchors an expansion of the Arrow system to be completed by June 2016.
Bakken COLT Hub
During the third quarter 2015, average COLT Hub rail loading volumes were 117 MBbls/d and COLT Connector pipeline volumes were 35 MBbls/d, compared to 117 MBbls/d and 36 MBbls/d, respectively, in the third quarter 2014. Facility utilization by COLT’s customers remained strong year-over-year despite challenging market conditions including lower North Dakota oil production and narrower spreads between WTI, ANS and Brent crudes. Third quarter 2015 crude-by-rail (CBR) volumes across the Bakken were approximately 459,000 Bbls/d (or 47% of total Bakken oil transportation) and the COLT Hub continued to be the leading Bakken CBR facility by volume. During the third quarter 2015, COLT’s contracted take-or-pay rail loading volumes were 149.3 MBbls/d and are expected to be 144.9 MBbls/d in the fourth quarter 2015. We remain in active discussions with existing and new customers at the COLT Hub for crude storage, rail loading and pipeline services and do not have any updates on re-contracting efforts at this time.

Southwest Marcellus Gathering and Compression System
In the third quarter 2015, average gathering and compression volumes on the system were 522 MMcf/d and 538 MMcf/d, respectively, compared to average gathering and compression volumes of 645 MMcf/d and 590 MMcf/d, respectively, in the third quarter of 2014. Gathering volumes in the third quarter 2015 were negatively impacted by approximately 30 MMcf/d due to downstream pipeline and processing plant curtailments. Additionally, Dominion South index pricing averaged $1.22 per MMBtu in the third quarter 2015 which triggered incentive rate relief to Antero Resources (“Antero”) on another 162 MMcf/d. The combination of curtailments and rate relief led to approximately $2.7 million lower operating margin for Crestwood during the third quarter 2015. Offsetting these unusual events, Crestwood reduced third quarter 2015 operating expenses by 9% and 36% from the second quarter 2015 and fourth quarter 2014, respectively.
Based on industry reports, Momentum’s Stonewall pipeline, anchored by Antero, will be completed in the fourth quarter 2015 and should positively impact available downstream transportation capacity and improve regional natural gas pricing for gas Antero produces on the Crestwood system. Crestwood’s incentive rate agreement with Antero expires when the Stonewall pipeline is placed in service. While Antero does not currently have an active drilling rig on Crestwood’s system, we continue to expect that Antero will complete the 22 drilled but uncompleted wells on pads previously connected to the Crestwood system in the Greenbriar area during 2016.
Marcellus Northeast Storage & Transportation
Crestwood’s Northeast systems transported and stored 1.6 Bcf/d during the third quarter 2015, compared to 1.8 Bcf/d in the third quarter 2014. Crestwood’s Northeast natural gas storage facilities are currently 99% subscribed through 2015. As previously disclosed, Crestwood signed agreements with two producer shippers 120 MMcf/d of long-term firm transportation capacity on the MARC I pipeline to an expanded delivery point with Transco. Crestwood is expected to bring the project into service in the coming weeks. The $6.5 million expansion project will result in increased firm service revenue of approximately $6.3 million per year.
Barnett Gathering and Processing
During the third quarter 2015, Barnett area gathering volumes were approximately 318 MMcf/d, compared to 419 MMcf/d in the third quarter 2014. The decrease was due to natural production decline and shut-ins following Quicksilver Resources’ March 2015 bankruptcy proceedings. Barnett operating expenses in the third quarter 2015 decreased by 18%, compared to the third quarter 2014, and by 5% compared to the second quarter 2015.
Quicksilver continues to work with its creditors through the Chapter 11 process and is scheduled to receive bids for a sale of the assets on November 30, 2015. Crestwood continues to provide services to Quicksilver in accordance with its original contracts and is receiving monthly payments in a timely manner.
Delaware Permian Expansion Opportunities
During the third quarter 2015, volumes at the Willow Lake processing plant, located in Eddy County, New Mexico, reached facility capacity of 20 MMcf/d due to Wolfcamp wells completed and connected to Crestwood’s system in 2015. Based on growing activity from our customers, including Cimarex, Concho, Occidental, Mewbourne, Matador, and Nadel & Gussman, Crestwood is expanding the Willow Lake plant to 50 MMcf/d with a targeted in-service date of first quarter 2016. Additionally, Crestwood is continuing to advance discussions with customers on the 120 MMcf/d Delaware Ranch plant to support increasing activity in southern Eddy County, New Mexico.

Crestwood is in exclusive negotiations with a large producer to anchor a 3-stream gathering system spanning portions of Reeves, Loving, and Culberson counties, Texas. As currently designed, the condensate, natural gas and produced water gathering system would consist of approximately 600 miles of pipelines and span an area exceeding 400,000 acres.
Additionally, Crestwood is conducting a non-binding open season to solicit shipper support for the Delaware Takeaway crude pipeline system (“Delta”), an approximately 164 mile crude and condensate pipeline header system originating at a new Crestwood terminal to be built near Orla, located in Reeves County, Texas. Subject to sufficient shipper interest and other factors, Delta is expected to be operational in the second quarter of 2017.
Capitalization and Liquidity Update
As of September 30, 2015, Crestwood had approximately $2.5 billion of debt outstanding, composed primarily of $1.8 billion of fixed-rate senior notes and $717 million outstanding under its $1.5 billion revolving credit facility. In conjunction with the simplification merger, Crestwood upsized its revolving credit facility from $1.0 billion to $1.5 billion and extended its term through September 2020. Crestwood also amended certain terms of the revolving credit facility, such as increasing its total leverage ratio covenant from 5.00x to 5.50x and adding a senior secured leverage ratio of 3.75x, among other adjustments, that provide Crestwood greater flexibility to execute its business plan.
As of November 3, 2015, Crestwood had 59.3 million preferred units outstanding which pay a quarterly distribution of 9.25% payable in cash or through the issuance of additional preferred units. On November 13, 2015, holders of the preferred units will receive 1.4 million additional preferred units related to the third quarter 2015 distribution declared.
First Reserve Joint Venture
In connection with Crestwood’s Delaware Permian Basin expansion opportunities, First Reserve and Crestwood are in exclusive negotiations to form a development joint venture dedicated to support growing producer demand for midstream infrastructure in the basin. Under the terms of the joint venture, First Reserve and Crestwood will initially commit combined equity capital of $500 million, which will be available to the joint venture for financing identified greenfield development and acquisition opportunities in an area of mutual interest spanning Reeves, Culberson and Loving counties, TX. Under the terms of the joint venture, which will be owned 50% by Crestwood and 50% by First Reserve, First Reserve will fund 100% of the initial capital requirements to the joint venture during the early-stage build-out of the systems, after which Crestwood will fund 100% of capital requirements for a period of time to achieve the 50/50 ownership structure. The closing of the joint venture is subject to final execution of definitive documentation, customary closing conditions, including approvals from First Reserve’s Investment Committee and Crestwood’s Board of Directors and Special Committee.
Reverse Unit Split
On October 22, 2015, Crestwood announced a 1-for-10 split on its common units, effective after market close on November 23, 2015. Units will begin trading on a split-adjusted basis on November 24, 2015. Pursuant to the reverse split, common unitholders will receive one common unit for every 10 common units owned. All fractional units created by the reverse unit split will be rounded to the nearest whole unit. Crestwood’s common unit count will be reduced from approximately 685.5 million outstanding to approximately 68.5 million outstanding.

Goodwill Impairments
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) required us to record the assets and goodwill in our storage and transportation segment and marketing, supply and logistics segment at fair value when the assets were acquired in 2013, and further require subsequent analysis to assess the recoverability of assigned values, including goodwill. As a result of this analysis, Crestwood recorded preliminary goodwill impairments of $609.9 million, primarily related to its COLT Hub and trucking assets, during the third quarter 2015. These impairments primarily resulted from increasing the discount rate utilized in determining the fair value of these assets when taking into consideration continued commodity price weakness and its impact on the midstream industry and Crestwood’s customers in these areas.

| (a) | EBITDA is defined as income before income taxes, plus debt-related costs (net interest and debt expense and loss on modification/extinguishment of debt) 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. Adjusted EBITA also considers the impact of certain significant items, such as unit-based compensation charges, gains and impairments of long-lived assets and goodwill, gains and losses on acquisition-related contingencies, third party costs incurred related to potential and completed acquisitions, certain environmental remediation costs, certain costs related to our 2015 cost savings initiatives, the change in fair value of commodity inventory-related derivative contracts, and other transactions identified in a specific reporting period. The change in fair value of commodity inventory-related derivative contracts is considered in determining Adjusted EBITDA given that the timing of recognizing gains and losses on these derivative contracts differs from the recognition of revenue for the related underlying sale of inventory that these derivatives relate to. Changes in the fair value of other derivative contracts is not considered in determining Adjusted EBITDA given the relatively short-term nature of those derivative contracts. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not measures calculated in accordance with 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) | Distributable cash flow is defined as Adjusted EBITDA, less cash interest expense, maintenance capital expenditures, income taxes, and deficiency payments (primarily related to deferred revenue). 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. |
