HIGHLIGHTS
Reported adjusted EBITDA of $167 million in the third quarter of 2015, up 12 percent from $149 million in the third quarter of 2014.
Generated distributable cash flow of $146 million in the third quarter of 2015, up from $144 million in the third quarter of 2014, resulting in a distribution coverage ratio of 1.21 times in the third quarter of 2015. Excluding a one-time distribution and proceeds from asset sales totaling $12 million in the third quarter of 2014, distributable cash flow grew by approximately 11 percent.

On October 30, 2015, DCP Midstream, LLC, the owner of the Partnership's General Partner, closed on an agreement with Phillips 66 and Spectra Energy under which Phillips 66 contributed $1.5 billion in cash and Spectra Energy contributed all of its interests in the Sand Hills and Southern Hills NGL pipelines to DCP Midstream, LLC, respectively, as capital contributions.
The Partnership remains on track to achieve its 2015 adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow targets.
"The transaction DCP Midstream just closed with Phillips 66 and Spectra Energy demonstrates strong owner support, solidifies the DCP enterprise's industry leading position for 2016 and beyond, and reinforces the strength of the Partnership and its General Partner," said Wouter van Kempen, Chairman and CEO of the Partnership, and Chairman, CEO and President of DCP Midstream, the owner of the Partnership's general partner. "The Partnership continues to deliver strong results which benefited from the start-up and ramp-up of new fee-based organic projects and the overall diversity of our asset portfolio. We will remain focused on executing our DCP 2020 strategy of proactively managing risk, running reliably and controlling costs.”
DISTRIBUTION AND DISTRIBUTABLE CASH FLOW
On October 27, 2015, the Partnership announced a quarterly distribution of $0.78 per limited partner unit. This distribution remains unchanged from the previous quarter and reflects the current industry environment and the Partnership's approach to sustainable ongoing distributions. This represents an increase of 1.3 percent over the distribution declared in the third quarter of 2014.
The Partnership's distributable cash flow of $146 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015, provided a 1.21 times distribution coverage ratio adjusted for the timing of actual distributions paid during the quarter. The distribution coverage ratio adjusted for the timing of actual distributions paid during the last four quarters was approximately 1.13 times.

THIRD QUARTER 2015 OPERATING RESULTS BY BUSINESS SEGMENT
Natural Gas Services
Adjusted segment EBITDA increased to $134 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015, from $127 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014, reflecting growth at the Lucerne 2 plant in the DJ Basin system and the Keathley Canyon project at Discovery, commodity hedges which reduce the effects of lower commodity prices, higher valued product mix, and higher Eagle Ford shale volumes, partially offset by a combination of lower South Central Texas legacy volumes, higher operating expenses from the completion of the Lucerne 2 plant and timing of expenditures.

2


NGL Logistics
Adjusted segment EBITDA increased to $48 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015, from $38 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014, reflecting the expansion and ramp-up of Sand Hills and the ramp-up of Front Range.
Wholesale Propane Logistics
Adjusted segment EBITDA increased to $6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015, from $1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014, reflecting the conversion of the Partnership's Chesapeake propane terminal to a butane export facility.
Corporate and Other
Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2015 increased primarily due to higher average outstanding debt balances associated with the growth in the Partnership's operations. General and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2015 increased as a result of an increase in the annual fee under the Partnership's services agreement.
During the three months ended September 30, 2015 the Partnership recorded a noncash goodwill impairment of $33 million related to its Collbran reporting unit.
CAPITALIZATION, LIQUIDITY AND FINANCING
At September 30, 2015, the Partnership had $2,179 million of long-term debt outstanding composed of senior notes and $116 million of borrowings outstanding under its $1,250 million revolving credit facility. Total available revolver capacity was $1,133 million, all of which was available for working capital and other general partnership purposes. The Partnership's leverage ratio pursuant to its credit facility for the quarter ended September 30, 2015, was approximately 3.2 times. The effective interest rate on the Partnership's overall debt position, as of September 30, 2015, was 3.7 percent. During the third quarter 2015, the Partnership did not issue any equity.
CAPITAL EXPENDITURES AND INVESTMENTS
The Partnership anticipates 2015 expansion capital of approximately $300 million and is revising its 2015 outlook for maintenance capital expenditures to between $25 million and $35 million.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, total growth capital expenditures and equity investments totaled approximately $278 million and total maintenance capital expenditures were $21 million.

COMMODITY DERIVATIVE ACTIVITY
The objective of the Partnership's commodity risk management program is to protect downside risk in its distributable cash flow. The Partnership utilizes mark-to-market accounting treatment for its commodity derivative instruments. Mark-to-market accounting rules require companies to record currently in earnings the difference between their contracted future derivative settlement prices and the forward prices of the underlying commodities at the end of the accounting period. Revaluing the Partnership's commodity derivative instruments based on futures pricing at the end of the period creates assets or liabilities and associated non-cash gains or losses. Realized gains or losses from cash settlement of the derivative contracts occur monthly as the Partnership's physical commodity sales are realized or when the Partnership rebalances its portfolio. Non-cash gains or losses associated with the mark-to-market accounting treatment of the Partnership's commodity derivative instruments do not affect its distributable cash flow.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, commodity derivative activity and total revenues included non-cash losses of $8 million and $105 million, and non-cash gains of $17 million and losses of $26 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014. Net hedge cash settlements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, were receipts of $52 million and $162 million. Net hedge cash settlements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, were receipts of $24 million and $30 million.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION
This press release and the accompanying financial schedules include the following non-GAAP financial measures: distributable cash flow, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted segment EBITDA, adjusted net income attributable to partners, adjusted net income allocable to limited partners, and adjusted net income per limited partner unit. The accompanying schedules provide reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. The Partnership's non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to its financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP, including operating revenues, net income or loss attributable to partners, net cash provided by or used in operating activities or any other measure of liquidity or financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP as a measure of operating performance, liquidity or ability to service debt obligations and make cash distributions to unitholders. The non-GAAP financial measures presented by us may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies because they may not calculate their measures in the same manner.
We define distributable cash flow as net cash provided by or used in operating activities, less maintenance capital expenditures, net of reimbursable projects, plus or minus adjustments for non-cash mark-to-market of derivative instruments, proceeds from divestiture of assets, net income attributable to noncontrolling interests net of depreciation and income tax, net changes in operating assets and liabilities, and other adjustments to reconcile net cash provided by or used in operating activities. Historical distributable cash flow is calculated excluding the impact of retrospective adjustments related to any acquisitions presented under the pooling method. Maintenance capital expenditures are cash expenditures made to maintain the Partnership's cash flows, operating capacity or earnings capacity. These expenditures add on to or improve capital assets owned, including certain system integrity, compliance and safety improvements. Maintenance capital expenditures also include certain well connects, and may include the acquisition or construction of new capital assets. Non-cash mark-to-market of derivative instruments is considered to be non-cash for the purpose of computing distributable cash flow because settlement will not occur until future periods, and will be impacted by future changes in commodity prices and interest rates. Distributable cash flow is used as a supplemental liquidity and performance measure by the Partnership's management and by external users of its financial statements, such as investors, commercial banks, research analysts and others, to assess the Partnership's ability to make cash distributions to its unitholders and its general partner.
We define adjusted EBITDA as net income or loss attributable to partners less interest income, noncontrolling interest in depreciation and income tax expense, non-cash commodity derivative gains, plus interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization expense, non-cash commodity derivative losses, and certain other non-cash charges. The commodity derivative non-cash losses and gains result from the marking to market of certain financial derivatives used by us for risk management purposes that we do not account for under the hedge method of accounting. These non-cash losses or gains may or may not be realized in future periods when the derivative contracts are settled, due to fluctuating commodity prices. We define adjusted segment EBITDA for each segment as segment net income or loss attributable to partners plus or minus adjustments for non-cash mark-to-market of commodity derivative instruments for that segment, plus depreciation and amortization expense, and certain other non-cash charges for that segment, adjusted for any noncontrolling interest portion of depreciation, amortization and income tax expense for that segment. The Partnership's adjusted EBITDA equals the sum of the adjusted segment EBITDA reported for each of its segments, plus general and administrative expense.

5



Adjusted EBITDA is used as a supplemental liquidity and performance measure and adjusted segment EBITDA is used as a supplemental performance measure by the Partnership's management and by external users of its financial statements, such as investors, commercial banks, research analysts and others to assess:
financial performance of the Partnership's assets without regard to financing methods, capital structure or historical cost basis;
the Partnership's operating performance and return on capital as compared to those of other companies in the midstream energy industry, without regard to financing methods or capital structure;
viability and performance of acquisitions and capital expenditure projects and the overall rates of return on investment opportunities;
performance of the Partnership's business excluding non-cash commodity derivative gains or losses; and
in the case of Adjusted EBITDA, the ability of the Partnership's assets to generate cash sufficient to pay interest costs, support its indebtedness, make cash distributions to its unitholders and general partner, and finance maintenance capital expenditures.
We define adjusted net income attributable to partners as net income attributable to partners, plus non-cash derivative losses and certain other non-cash charges, less non-cash derivative gains. Adjusted net income per limited partner unit is then calculated from adjusted net income attributable to partners. Non-cash derivative losses and gains result from the marking to market of certain financial derivatives used by the Partnership for risk management purposes that are not accounted for under the hedge method of accounting. Adjusted net income attributable to partners and adjusted net income per limited partner unit are provided to illustrate trends in income excluding these non-cash derivative losses or gains, which may or may not be realized in future periods when derivative contracts are settled, due to fluctuating commodity prices.
