Our management uses a variety of financial and operational measurements other than our financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S.
GAAP to analyze our performance.
−Removed: These include:
−Removed: (1) net income before interest expense, income tax expense, and depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA"), (2) adjusted EBITDA, (3) distributable cash flow and (4) adjusted free cash flow.
−Removed: Our management views these measures as important performance measures of core profitability for our operations and the ability to generate and distribute cash flow, and as key components of our internal financial reporting.
−Removed: We believe investors benefit from having access to the same financial measures that our management uses.
+Added: Certain items excluded from EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are significant components in understanding and assessing an entity's financial performance, such as cost of capital and historical costs of depreciable assets.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA .
We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA before unit-based compensation expenses, gains and losses on the disposition of property, plant and equipment, impairment and other similar non-cash adjustments.
−Removed: Certain items excluded from EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are significant components in understanding and assessing an entity's financial performance, such as cost of capital and historical costs of depreciable assets.
−Removed: We have included information concerning EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA because it provides investors and management with additional information to better understand the following:
−Removed: financial performance of our assets without regard to financing methods, capital structure or historical cost basis;
−Removed: our operating performance and return on capital as compared to those of other similarly situated entities;
−Removed: and the viability of acquisitions and capital expenditure projects.
−Removed: Our method of computing adjusted EBITDA may not be the same method used to compute similar measures reported by other entities.
−Removed: The economic substance behind our use of adjusted EBITDA is to measure the ability of our assets to generate cash sufficient to pay interest costs, support our indebtedness and make distributions to our unitholders.
+Added: Adjusted EBITDA is used as a supplemental performance and liquidity measure by our management and by external users of our financial statements, such as investors, commercial banks, research analysts, and others, to assess:
+Added: • the financial performance of our assets without regard to financing methods, capital structure, or historical cost basis;
+Added: • the ability of our assets to generate cash sufficient to pay interest costs, support our indebtedness, and make cash distributions to our unitholders;
+Added: • our operating performance and return on capital as compared to those of other companies in the midstream energy sector, without regard to financing methods or capital structure.
+Added: The GAAP measures most directly comparable to adjusted EBITDA are net income (loss) and net cash provided by operating activities.
+Added: Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income (loss), operating income (loss), net cash provided by operating activities, or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP.
+Added: Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies because other companies may not calculate Adjusted EBITDA in the same manner.
+Added: Adjusted EBITDA does not include interest expense, income tax expense, and depreciation and amortization.
+Added: Because we have borrowed money to finance our operations, interest expense is a necessary element of our costs and our ability to generate cash available for distribution.
+Added: Because we have capital assets, depreciation and amortization are also necessary elements of our costs.
+Added: Therefore, any measures that exclude these elements have material limitations.
+Added: To compensate for these limitations, we believe that it is important to consider net income (loss) and net cash provided by operating activities as determined under GAAP, as well as adjusted EBITDA, to evaluate our overall performance.
Distributable Cash Flow.
−Removed: We define Distributable Cash Flow as Adjusted EBITDA less cash paid for interest, cash paid for income taxes, maintenance capital expenditures, and plant turnaround costs.
−Removed: Distributable cash flow is a significant performance measure used by our management and by external users of our financial statements, such as investors, commercial banks and research analysts, to compare basic cash flows generated by us to the cash distributions it expects to pay unitholders.
+Added: We define Distributable Cash Flow as Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Operating Activities less cash received (plus cash paid) for closed commodity derivative positions included in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss), plus changes in operating assets and liabilities which (provided) used cash, less maintenance capital expenditures and plant turnaround costs.
+Added: Distributable Cash Flow is a significant performance measure used by our management and by external users of our financial statements, such as investors, commercial banks and research analysts, to compare basic cash flows generated by us to the cash distributions we expect to pay unitholders.
Distributable Cash Flow is also an important financial measure for our unitholders since it serves as an indicator of our success in providing a cash return on investment.

+Added: Distributable Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow have important limitations because they exclude some items that affect Net Income (Loss), Operating Income (Loss), and Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Operating Activities.
+Added: Distributable Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies because other companies may not calculate these non-GAAP metrics in the same manner.
