Disclaimer This presentation includes certain forward-looking statements and projections of EP Energy. EP Energy has made every reasonable effort to ensure that the information and assumptions on which these statements and projections are based are current, reasonable, and complete. However, a variety of factors could cause actual results to differ materially from the projections, anticipated results or other expectations expressed, including, without limitation, the volatility of and current sustained low oil, natural gas, and NGL prices; the supply and demand for oil, natural gas and NGLs; changes in commodity prices and basis differentials for oil and natural gas; EP Energy’s ability to meet production volume targets; the uncertainty of estimating proved reserves and unproved resources; the future level of service and capital costs; the availability and cost of financing to fund future exploration and production operations; the success of drilling programs with regard to proved undeveloped reserves and unproved resources; EP Energy’s ability to comply with the covenants in various financing documents; EP Energy’s ability to obtain necessary governmental approvals for proposed E&P projects and to successfully construct and operate such projects; actions by the credit rating agencies; credit and performance risks of EP Energy’s lenders, trading counterparties, customers, vendors, suppliers, and third party operators; general economic and weather conditions in geographic regions or markets served by EP Energy, or where operations of EP Energy are located, including the risk of a global recession and negative impact on oil and natural gas demand; the uncertainties associated with governmental regulation, including any potential changes in federal and state tax laws and regulation; competition; and other factors described in EP Energy’s Securities and Exchange Commission filings. While EP Energy makes these statements and projections in good faith, neither EP Energy nor its management can guarantee that anticipated future results will be achieved. Reference must be made to those filings for additional important factors that may affect actual results. EP Energy assumes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements made herein or any other forward-looking statements made by EP Energy, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. You are cautioned not to place any undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this presentation. This presentation presents certain production and reserves-related information on an "equivalency" basis. Equivalent volumes are computed with natural gas converted to barrels at a ratio of six Mcf to one Bbl. These conversions are based on energy equivalency conversion methods primarily applicable at the burner tip and do not represent value equivalencies at the wellhead. Although these conversion factors are industry accepted norms, they are not reflective of price or market value differentials between product types. References to our estimated proved reserves as of December 31, 2015 are derived from our proved reserve reports prepared by our internal staff of engineers and audited by the independent petroleum engineering consultant firm of Ryder Scott Company, L.P. References to our estimated proved reserves and related PV-10 as of September 30, 2016 are derived from reports by our internal staff of engineers and are presented on a pro forma basis reflecting NYMEX strip pricing as of October 27, 2016 ($49.45 / $3.07 (2016); $52.78 / $3.15 (2017); $54.41 / $3.02 (2018); $55.38 / $2.92 (2019); $56.17 / $2.94 (2020); $56.77 / $3.05 (2021); $57.58 / $3.17 (2022); $58.36 / $3.33 (2023); and $58.87 / $3.50 (2024+)). The Notes have not been registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or under any state securities laws in the United States. Accordingly, the Notes will be offered in the United States only to qualified institutional buyers as defined under Rule 144A under the Securities Act, and outside the United States in accordance with Regulation S of the Securities Act. Securities may not be offered or sold in the United States unless they are registered or exempt from registration under the Securities Act. Before you invest, you should read the offering memorandum and the documents incorporated by reference in the offering memorandum, for more complete information about EP Energy and this offering. This presentation refers to certain non-GAAP financial measures such as, “Adjusted EBITDAX”, “Adjusted Cash Operating Costs”, “PV-10”, “Net Debt”, and “Free Cash Flow”. Definitions of these measures and reconciliation between U.S. GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures are included in the Appendix to this presentation.

Significant High Quality Future Drilling Inventory Drilling locations by break-even prices 3,264 4,000+ locations economic below $40/Bbl Note: Based on 2015 year-end inventory of all gross locations. We do not have booked reserves associated with 4,654 of these drilling locations, as of year-end 2015. While we believe that the geology/structure of these estimated locations are similar to our prior wells drilled and our PUD locations, there are no assurances that these locations will perform like our historical wells have. All of our assumptions and estimates with respect to economic breakeven prices are speculative in nature and based on the assumptions set forth above and in the Appendix, which may prove to be inaccurate.

Glossary This contains a glossary of terms used in this presentation. They are for reference only and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used at other companies. Non-GAAP Financial Measures Adjusted EBITDAX EBITDAX is defined as net income (loss) plus interest and debt expense, income taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization and exploration expense. Adjusted EBITDAX is defined as EBITDAX, adjusted as applicable in the relevant period for the net change in the fair value of derivatives (mark-to-market effects of financial derivatives, net of cash settlements and cash premiums paid or received related to these derivatives), the non-cash portion of compensation expense (which represents non-cash compensation expense under long-term incentive programs adjusted for cash payments made under long-term incentive plans), transition, restructuring and other costs that affect comparability, gains and losses on extinguishment of debt, gains and/or losses on sales of assets and impairment charges. Adjusted EBITDAX is used by management and we believe provides investors with additional information (i) to evaluate our ability to service debt adjusting for items required or permitted in calculating covenant compliance under our debt agreements, (ii) to provide an important supplemental indicator of the operational performance of our business without regard to financing methods and capital structure, (iii) for evaluating our performance relative to our peers, (iv) to measure our liquidity (before cash capital requirements and working capital needs) and (v) to provide supplemental information about certain material non-cash and/or other items that may not continue at the same level in the future. Adjusted EBITDAX has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under U.S. GAAP or as an alternative to net income (loss), operating income (loss), operating cash flows or other measures of financial performance or liquidity presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. For example, our presentation of Adjusted EBITDAX may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies in our industry. Furthermore, our presentation of Adjusted EBITDAX should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by the items noted above or what we believe to be other unusual items, or that in the future we may not incur expenses that are the same as or similar to some of the adjustments in this presentation. Adjusted Cash Operating Costs Adjusted cash operating costs is a non-GAAP measure used by management as a performance measure, and we believe provides investors valuable information related to our operating performance and our operating efficiency relative to other industry participants and comparatively over time across our historical results. Adjusted cash operating costs is defined as total operating expenses, excluding depreciation, depletion and amortization expense, exploration expense, impairment charges, gains and/or losses on sales of assets, the non-cash portion of compensation expense (which represents compensation expense under long-term incentive programs adjusted for cash payments made under long-term incentive plans) and transition, restructuring and other costs that affect comparability. We use this measure to describe the costs required to directly or indirectly operate our existing assets and produce and sell our oil and natural gas, including the costs associated with the delivery and purchases and sales of produced commodities. Accordingly, we exclude depreciation, depletion, and amortization and impairment charges as such costs are non-cash in nature. We exclude exploration expense from our measure as it is substantially non-cash in nature and is not related to the costs to operate our existing assets. Similarly, gains and losses on the sale of assets are excluded as they are unrelated to the operation of our assets. We exclude the non-cash portion of compensation expense as well as transition, restructuring and other costs that affect comparability, as we believe such adjustments allow investors to evaluate our costs against others in our industry and these items can vary across companies due to different ownership structures, compensation objectives or the occurrence of transactions. This measure is subject to limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under U.S. GAAP or as an alternative to operating expenses, operating cash flows or other measures of financial performance or liquidity presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. This measure may also not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Free Cash Flow Free Cash Flow is a non-GAAP measure defined as net cash provided by operating activities less cash paid for capital expenditures. Free Cash Flow is used by management and we believe provides investors with useful information for analysis of the company’s ability to internally fund capital expenditures and to service or incur additional debt. For the quarter ended March 31, 2016, the Company’s free cash flow was approximately $120 million (net cash provided by operating activities of approximately $299 million less cash paid for capital expenditures of approximately $179 million). For the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company’s free cash flow was approximately $145 million (net cash provided by operating activities of approximately $403 million less cash paid for capital expenditures of approximately $258 million). For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company’s free cash flow was approximately $257 million (net cash provided by operating activities of approximately $655 million less cash paid for capital expenditures of approximately $398 million).

Glossary (Cont’d) This contains a glossary of terms used in this presentation. They are for reference only and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used at other companies. Non-GAAP Financial Measures (Cont’d) Net Debt Net Debt is a non-GAAP measure defined as long-term debt less cash and cash equivalents. We believe Net Debt provides useful information to investors for analysis of the Company’s financial position and/or liquidity; however, this measure may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies and is subject to several of the same limitations as analytical tools as noted in the paragraphs above. Net Debt should not be considered in isolation as a substitute to long-term debt as reported under U.S. GAAP or as an alternative to other measures of financial position or liquidity presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. At September 30, 2015, the Company’s net debt was approximately $4.9 billion (total debt of approximately $4,931 million less cash and cash equivalents of approximately $25 million). At December 31, 2015, the company's net debt was approximately $4.8 billion (total debt of approximately $4,869 million less cash and cash equivalents of approximately $24 million). At March 31, 2016, the Company’s net debt was approximately $4.3 billion (total long-term debt of approximately $4,348 million less cash and cash equivalents of approximately $89 million). At June 30, 2016, the Company’s net debt was approximately $3.9 billion (total long-term total debt of approximately $3,916 million less cash and cash equivalents of approximately $36 million). At September 30, 2016, the Company's net debt was approximately $3.8 billion (total debt of approximately $3,856 million less cash and cash equivalents of approximately $37 million). PV-10 PV-10 is a non GAAP measure and is derived from the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows, which is the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. Our PV-10 differs from our standardized measure because our standardized measure reflects discounted future income taxes related to our domestic operations. We believe that the presentation of PV-10 is relevant and useful to investors because it presents the relative monetary significance of our oil, natural gas and NGLs properties regardless of tax structure. Further, investors may utilize the measure as a basis for comparison of the relative size and value of our reserves to other companies. We use this measure when assessing the potential return on investment related to our oil, natural gas and NGLs properties. PV-10, however, is not a substitute for the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows. Our PV-10 measure and the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows do not purport to present the fair value of our oil (including NGLs) and natural gas reserves. The unweighted arithmetic average of the historical first day of the month prices for the prior 12 months was $50.28 per barrel of oil (WTI) and $2.59 per MMBtu of natural gas (Henry Hub) as of December 31, 2015, and $41.68 per barrel of oil (WTI) and $2.28 per MMBtu of natural gas (Henry Hub) as of September 30, 2016. Pricing used to calculate the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows is based on SEC Regulation S-X, Rule 4-10 as amended, using the 12-month average price calculated as the unweighted arithmetic average of the spot price on the first day of each month preceding the 12-month period prior to the end of the reporting period.
