SECOND-QUARTER AND YEAR-TO-DATE 2015 FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

Variances in financial performance in the first six months of 2015, contrast with the same period in 2014, are primarily a reflection of significantly higher weather-related seasonal demand in the Midwest, resulting in higher prices for propane and natural gas, due to severely cold weather during the first quarter 2014 and sustained lower commodity prices through the first half of 2015.

Enhances in second-quarter 2015 operating income reflect:

  • Higher NGL exchange-services volumes from recently connected natural gas processing plants in the Williston Basin, Powder River Basin and Mid-Continent regions, and additional revenues from minimum volume obligations;
  • Higher NGL transportation margins, primarily from the acquisition of the West Texas LPG pipeline system; and
  • Higher margins due to changes in contract mix and higher natural gas volumes gathered, processed and sold, and higher NGL volumes sold, in the natural gas gathering and processing segment; offset partially by
  • Lower net realized NGL, natural gas and condensate prices.
