| (a) | Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow are non-GAAP financial measures used by industry analysts, investors, lenders, and rating agencies to assess the financial performance and the operating results of ETP’s fundamental business activities and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income, income from operations, cash flows from operating activities, or other GAAP measures. |
There are material limitations to using measures such as Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow, including the difficulty associated with using either as the sole measure to compare the results of one company to another, and the inability to analyze certain significant items that directly affect a company’s net income or loss or cash flows. In addition, our calculations of Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow may not be consistent with similarly titled measures of other companies and should be viewed in conjunction with measurements that are computed in accordance with GAAP, such as gross margin, operating income, net income, and cash flow from operating activities.
Definition of Adjusted EBITDA
ETP defines Adjusted EBITDA as total partnership earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and other non-cash items, such as non-cash compensation expense, gains and losses on disposals of assets, the allowance for equity funds used during construction, unrealized gains and losses on commodity risk management activities and other non-operating income or expense items. Unrealized gains and losses on commodity risk management activities include unrealized gains and losses on commodity derivatives and inventory fair value adjustments (excluding lower of cost or market adjustments). Adjusted EBITDA reflects amounts for less than wholly-owned subsidiaries based on 100% of the subsidiaries’ results of operations and for unconsolidated affiliates based on ETP’s proportionate ownership.
Adjusted EBITDA is used by management to determine our operating performance and, along with other financial and volumetric data, as internal measures for setting annual operating budgets, assessing financial performance of our numerous business locations, as a measure for evaluating targeted businesses for acquisition and as a measurement component of incentive compensation.
Definition of Distributable Cash Flow
ETP defines Distributable Cash Flow as net income, adjusted for certain non-cash items, less maintenance capital expenditures. Non-cash items include depreciation and amortization, non-cash compensation expense, gains and losses on disposals of assets, the allowance for equity funds used during construction, unrealized gains and losses on commodity risk management activities and deferred income taxes. Unrealized gains and losses on commodity risk management activities includes unrealized gains and losses on commodity derivatives and inventory fair value adjustments (excluding lower of cost or market adjustments). Distributable Cash Flow reflects earnings from unconsolidated affiliates on a cash basis, including (i) for unconsolidated affiliates with publicly traded equity interests, distributions paid or expected to be paid for the periods presented and (ii) for unconsolidated affiliates that are under common control of ETP’s parent, ETP’s proportionate share of the distributable cash flow of the investee.
Distributable Cash Flow is used by management to evaluate our overall performance. Our partnership agreement requires us to distribute all available cash, and Distributable Cash Flow is calculated to evaluate our ability to fund distributions through cash generated by our operations.
On a consolidated basis, Distributable Cash Flow includes 100% of the Distributable Cash Flow of ETP’s consolidated subsidiaries. However, to the extent that noncontrolling interests exist among ETP’s subsidiaries, the Distributable Cash Flow generated by ETP’s subsidiaries may not be available to be distributed to the partners of ETP. In order to reflect the cash flows available for distributions to the partners of ETP, ETP has reported Distributable Cash Flow attributable to the partners of ETP, which is calculated by adjusting Distributable Cash Flow (consolidated), as follows:
| • | For subsidiaries with publicly traded equity interests, Distributable Cash Flow (consolidated) includes 100% of Distributable Cash Flow attributable to such subsidiary, and Distributable Cash Flow attributable to the partners of ETP includes distributions to be received by the parent company with respect to the periods presented. |
| • | For consolidated joint ventures or similar entities, where the noncontrolling interest is not publicly traded, Distributable Cash Flow (consolidated) includes 100% of Distributable Cash Flow attributable to such subsidiary, but Distributable Cash Flow attributable to the partners of ETP is net of distributions to be paid by the subsidiary to the noncontrolling interests. |
For Distributable Cash Flow attributable to the partners of ETP, as adjusted, certain transaction-related and non-recurring expenses that are included in net income are excluded.
6
| (b) | For the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2015, the Partnership’s effective income tax rate decreased from the prior year primarily due to lower earnings among the Partnership’s consolidated corporate subsidiaries. The three and twelve months ended December 31, 2015 also reflect a benefit of $24 million of net state tax benefit attributable to statutory state rate changes resulting from the Regency Merger and sale of Susser to Sunoco LP, as well as a favorable impact of $11 million due to a reduction in the statutory Texas franchise tax rate which was enacted by the Texas legislature during the second quarter of 2015. For the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2014, the Partnership’s income tax expense from continuing operations included unfavorable income tax adjustments of $87 million related to the Lake Charles LNG Transaction, which was treated as a sale for tax purposes. |
The three months ended December 31, 2015 reflect current income tax benefits of $80 million due to lower earnings among the Partnership’s consolidated corporate subsidiaries, $120 million due to the retroactive re-enactment of bonus depreciation, and $24 million attributable to the reversal of an income tax reserve for certain amended tax returns that had been filed claiming previously disallowed Pennsylvania net operating loss deductions. Additionally, the three months ended December 31, 2015 also reflect a $51 million current income tax benefit related to the funding of Sunoco, Inc.’s pension plan obligations, which benefit has been excluded from Distributable Cash Flow, as discussed in note (d) below.
| (c) | For the three months ended December 31, 2015, distributable cash flow from unconsolidated affiliates includes distributions to be paid by Sunoco LP with respect to the fourth quarter of 2015, as well as the Partnership’s share of the distributable cash flow of Sunoco LLC for the fourth quarter of 2015. For the year ended December 31, 2015, distributable cash flow from unconsolidated affiliates includes distributions to be paid by Sunoco LP with respect to the third and fourth quarters of 2015, as well as the Partnership’s share of the distributable cash flow of Sunoco LLC for the third and fourth quarters of 2015. |
| (d) | For the three months ended December 31, 2015, transaction-related income taxes reflect a $51 million current income tax benefit related to the funding of Sunoco, Inc.’s pension plan obligations, which amount is reflected in “Current income tax (expense) benefit from continuing operations.” |
Transaction-related income taxes primarily included income tax expense related to the Lake Charles LNG Transaction. For the three months and year ended December 31, 2014, amounts previously reported for each of the interim periods have been adjusted to reflect income taxes related to other transactions, which amounts had not previously been reflected in the calculation of Distributable Cash Flow for such interim periods.
| (e) | Amounts related to Sunoco LP reflect the periods through June 30, 2015, subsequent to which Sunoco LP was deconsolidated and is now reflected as an equity method investment. |
| (f) | Distributions on ETP Common Units, as reflected above, exclude cash distributions on Partnership common units held by subsidiaries of ETP. |
| (g) | Distributions on the Class H Units for the three months and years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 were calculated as follows: |

| * | Incremental distributions previously paid to the Class H Unitholder were eliminated in Amendment No. 9 to ETP’s Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership effective in the first quarter of 2015. |
| (h) | Distribution coverage ratio for a period is calculated as Distributable Cash Flow attributable to the partners of ETP, as adjusted, divided by net distributions expected to be paid to the partners of ETP in respect of such period. |
7
| (i) | The Partnership defines Distributable Cash Flow per Common Unit for a period as the quotient of Distributable Cash Flow attributable to the partners of ETP, as adjusted, net of distributions related to the Class H Units, Class I Units and the General Partner and IDR interests, divided by the weighted average number of Common Units outstanding. |
Similar to Distributable Cash Flow as described above, Distributable Cash Flow per Common Unit is a significant liquidity measure used by the Partnership’s senior management to compare net cash flows generated by the Partnership to the distributions the Partnership expects to pay to its unitholders. Using this measure, the Partnership’s management can compare Distributable Cash Flow attributable to the partners of ETP, as adjusted, among different periods on a per-unit basis.
Distributable Cash Flow per Common Unit is calculated as follows:

SUMMARY ANALYSIS OF QUARTERLY RESULTS BY SEGMENT
(Tabular dollar amounts in millions)
(unaudited)
Our segment results are presented based on the measure of Segment Adjusted EBITDA. The tables below identify the components of Segment Adjusted EBITDA, which was calculated as follows:
| • | Gross margin, operating expenses, and selling, general and administrative expenses. These amounts represent the amounts included in our consolidated financial statements that are attributable to each segment. |
| • | Unrealized gains or losses on commodity risk management activities and inventory valuation adjustments. These are the unrealized amounts that are included in cost of products sold to calculate gross margin. These amounts are not included in Segment Adjusted EBITDA; therefore, the unrealized losses are added back and the unrealized gains are subtracted to calculate the segment measure. |
| • | Non-cash compensation expense. These amounts represent the total non-cash compensation recorded in operating expenses and selling, general and administrative expenses. This expense is not included in Segment Adjusted EBITDA and therefore is added back to calculate the segment measure. |
| • | Adjusted EBITDA related to unconsolidated affiliates. These amounts represent our proportionate share of the Adjusted EBITDA of our unconsolidated affiliates. Amounts reflected are calculated consistently with our definition of Adjusted EBITDA. |

| Total gross margin | $ | 449 | $ | 606 | |||
For the three months ended December 31, 2015 compared to the same period last year, Segment Adjusted EBITDA related to our midstream segment decreased due to the net impacts of the following:
| • | lower natural gas prices and lower NGL prices resulted in lower non-fee based margins of $22 million and $51 million, respectively; |
| • | a decrease of $19 million due to realized gains on derivatives in the prior year; and |
| • | an increase of $27 million in operating expenses primarily due to assets recently placed in service, including the Rebel system in west Texas, the King Ranch system in south Texas, as well as the Dubberly plant in north Louisiana; partially offset by |
| • | an increase of $11 million in fee-based revenues due to increased production and increased capacity from assets placed in service in the Eagle Ford Shale, Permian Basin and Cotton Valley, partially offset by volume declines in the North Texas and Mid-Continent/Panhandle regions; and |
| • | a decrease of $8 million in general and administrative expenses primarily due to a reduction in employee-related cost. |

NGL transportation volumes increased due to increases from the Eagle Ford, Permian, and Southeast Texas producing regions, offset by decreases from North Texas. Additionally, we commissioned a crude transportation pipeline in the fourth quarter of 2014 that transported approximately 44,000 Bbls/d for the three months ended December 31, 2015.
Segment Adjusted EBITDA for the liquids transportation and services segment reflected an increase in gross margin as follows:

| Total gross margin | $ | 256 | $ | 212 | |||
For the three months ended December 31, 2015 compared to the same period last year, Segment Adjusted EBITDA related to our liquids transportation and services segment increased due to the net impacts of the following:
| • | an increase of $4 million in transportation margin primarily due to higher volumes transported out of the Permian and the Eagle Ford producing regions. Increased volumes from the Eagle Ford region led to increases in margin of $3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2015; |
| • | an increase of $6 million in processing and fractionation margin (excluding changes in unrealized gains of $7 million) due to a $15 million increase in fees from the Mariner South export terminal which ramped up starting in April of 2015, offset by a reduction of $8 million in margin associated with our off-gas fractionator in Geismar, Louisiana for the three months ended December 31, 2015 as NGL and olefins market prices decreased significantly for the comparable period; |
| • | an increase of $4 million in storage margin due to a $3 million increase in fee-based storage margin for the three months ended December 31, 2015 as a result of favorable market conditions and a specific contract negotiated in connection with the Mariner South LPG export project. In addition, non-fee based storage margin increased $1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2015 due to gains recognized on the withdrawal of inventory from our caverns; |
| • | an increase of $48 million in other margin (excluding changes in unrealized losses of $25 million) primarily due to the withdrawal and sale of physical storage volumes; and |
| • | a decrease of $1 million in selling, general and administrative expenses primarily due to lower employee-related costs. |

Transported volumes decreased primarily due to a managed contract roll off to facilitate the transfer of one of the pipelines that was taken out of service in advance of being repurposed from natural gas service to crude oil service. The decrease was partially offset by increased deliveries on the Transwestern pipeline due to sustained cooling demand in the Phoenix market and increased customer demand in New Mexico.
Segment Adjusted EBITDA for the interstate transportation and storage segment decreased primarily due to a $9 million decrease in revenues due to the expiration of a transportation rate schedule on the Transwestern pipeline and $8 million due to a managed contract roll off to facilitate the transfer of one of the pipelines that was taken out of service in advance of being repurposed from natural gas service to crude oil service. These decreases were partially offset by sales of capacity at higher rates on the Panhandle, Trunkline and Transwestern pipelines.
The decrease in cash distributions from unconsolidated affiliates reflected a decrease in cash distributions from Citrus due to slightly higher cash taxes on Citrus for the three months ended December 31, 2015.

For the three months ended December 31, 2015 compared to the same period last year, Segment Adjusted EBITDA related to our intrastate transportation and storage segment increased due to the net impacts of the following:
| • | an increase of $6 million in transportation fees margin (excluding changes in unrealized loss of $1 million), primarily due to increased revenue from renegotiated and newly initiated long-term fixed-capacity fee contracts on our Houston Pipeline system; |
| • | a decrease of $7 million in operating expenses primarily due to a decrease in fuel consumption expense driven by a decrease in fuel market prices; and |
| • | a decrease of $2 million in selling, general and administrative expenses primarily due to lower employee-related costs; partially offset by |
| • | a decrease of $3 million in storage margin (excluding changes in unrealized gains of $14 million), primarily due to the timing of the movement of market prices; |
| • | a decrease of $2 million (excluding changes in unrealized gains of $7 million) due to a decrease from the purchase and sale of natural gas on our system; |
| • | a decrease of $8 million in retained fuel revenues (excluding changes in unrealized loss of $1 million) due to significantly lower market prices. The average spot price at the Houston Ship Channel location for the twelve month period ending December 31, 2015 decreased by $1.76, or 41%, to $2.57 as compared to $4.32 for the prior year period. |

For the three months ended December 31, 2015 compared to the same period last year, Segment Adjusted EBITDA related to Sunoco Logistics increased due to the following:
| • | an increase of $9 million from crude oil pipelines, primarily due to the commencement of operations on the Permian Express 2 pipeline in the third quarter of 2015. Higher contributions from crude oil terminals also contributed to the increase. These positive factors were partially offset by decreased margins related to crude oil acquisition and marketing activities which were negatively impacted by narrowing crude oil differentials compared to the same period last year; |
| • | an increase of $36 million from NGL pipelines, primarily due to improved contributions from NGLs pipelines which was driven by the Mariner South and Mariner East 1 pipeline projects which commenced operations in late 2014. Increased results from the Nederland and Marcus Hook NGLs terminals also contributed to the increase. These positive factors were partially offset by decreased margins related to NGLs acquisition and marketing activities; and |
| • | an increase of $35 million from refined products pipelines, primarily due to increased contributions which was largely attributable to the Allegheny Access pipeline which commenced operations in the first quarter of 2015. Results related to the refined products terminals and acquisition and marketing activities improved compared to the prior year period. Adjusted EBITDA related to refined products joint venture interest also contributed to the increase. |

For the three months ended December 31, 2015 compared to the same period last year, Segment Adjusted EBITDA related to our retail marketing segment decreased due to the net impacts of the following:
| • | a decrease of $57 million due to the deconsolidation of Sunoco LP as a result of the sale of Sunoco LP’s general partner interest and incentive distribution rights to ETE effective July 1, 2015; |
| • | a decrease of $140 million due to unfavorable fuel margins and $15 million due to unfavorable volumes in the retail and wholesale channels; and |
| • | a decrease of $7 million in margins as 2014 benefited from favorable regional market conditions for ethanol; partially offset by |
| • | an increase of $19 million in merchandise margins and $9 million from other retail and wholesale margins; |
| • | a favorable impact of $8 million from recent acquisitions; and |
| • | a decrease of $7 million in expenses primarily due to one-time acquisition costs in 2014. |

| • | our investment in Coal Handling, an entity that owns and operates end-user coal handling facilities; and |
| • | our investment in AmeriGas until August 2014. |
Segment Adjusted EBITDA decreased primarily due to lower earnings driven by the impact of weaker refining crack spreads on our investment in PES.
In connection with the Lake Charles LNG Transaction, ETP agreed to continue to provide management services for ETE through 2015 in relation to both Lake Charles LNG’s regasification facility and the development of a liquefaction project at Lake Charles LNG’s facility, for which ETE has agreed to pay incremental management fees to ETP of $75 million per year for the years ending December 31, 2014 and 2015. These fees were reflected in “Other” in the “All other” segment and for the three months ended December 31, 2015 were reflected as an offset to operating expenses of $6 million and selling, general and administrative expenses of $13 million in the consolidated statements of operations.
The increase in cash distributions from unconsolidated affiliates was due to an increase of $42 million in cash distributions from our ownership in PES.
