USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
The Investor Presentation includes references to the non-generally accepted accounting principle (“non-GAAP”) financial measures of gross operating margin, distributable cash flow and EBITDA. To the extent appropriate, this Current Report on Form 8-K provides reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable historical financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Our non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as alternatives to GAAP measures such as net income, operating income, cash flow from operating activities or any other GAAP measure of liquidity or financial performance.
Gross Operating Margin
Quarterly and annual gross operating margin amounts (Slide 8). We evaluate segment performance based on the non-GAAP financial measure of gross operating margin. Gross operating margin (either in total or by individual segment) is an important performance measure of the core profitability of our operations. This measure forms the basis of our internal financial reporting and is used by senior management in deciding how to allocate capital resources among business segments. We believe that investors benefit from having access to the same financial measures that our management uses in evaluating segment results. The GAAP measure most directly comparable to total segment gross operating margin is operating income.
We define total segment gross operating margin as operating income before: (i) depreciation and amortization expense; (ii) operating lease expenses for which we do not have the payment obligation; (iii) gains and losses on the sale of assets; and (iv) general and administrative expenses. Gross operating margin is exclusive of other income and expense transactions, provision for income taxes, minority interest, cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles and extraordinary charges. Gross operating margin by segment is calculated by subtracting segment operating costs and expenses (net of the adjustments noted above) from segment revenues, with both segment totals before the elimination of intercompany transactions. In accordance with GAAP, intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. Our non-GAAP financial measure of total segment gross operating margin should not be considered as an alternative to GAAP operating income.
We include earnings from equity method unconsolidated affiliates in our measurement of segment gross operating margin. Our joint ventures with industry partners are a vital component of our business strategy. They are a means by which we conduct our operations to align our interests with those of our customers, which may be a supplier of raw materials to the joint venture or a consumer of products made by the joint venture. This method of operation enables us to achieve favorable economies of scale relative to the level of investment and business risk we assume versus what we could accomplish on a stand-alone basis. Many of these businesses perform supporting or complementary roles to our other business operations. As circumstances dictate, we may increase our ownership interests in such investments, which could result in their subsequent consolidation into our operations.
Reconciliations of our non-GAAP quarterly and annual gross operating margin amounts (as shown in the Investor Presentation) to their respective GAAP operating income amounts are presented as Schedule A to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
Gross operating margin potential of major growth projects (Slide 22). The Investor Presentation includes forecasts of annual gross operating margin amounts from groups of selected growth capital projects (as defined in the presentation). When used in the context of capital projects, gross operating margin amounts provide us with an indication of the profitability of a project. We believe that investors benefit from having access to the same financial measures that our management uses in evaluating projects.
For those assets that we consolidate, we define project gross operating margin as project operating income before depreciation and amortization expense and any allocation of indirect costs and expenses. Project gross operating margin is exclusive of other income and expense transactions, provision for income taxes, minority interest, cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles and extraordinary charges. Project gross operating margin is calculated by subtracting direct project operating costs and expenses (net of the adjustments noted above) from project revenues, with both project totals before the elimination of intercompany transactions. For those assets
3
in which we own an equity interest through a joint venture arrangement, we define project gross operating margin as our share of the earnings from such investment.
Since project gross operating margin is usually specific to a single asset, it should not be considered as an alternative to consolidated GAAP operating income, which includes all of our operations. In addition, since we do not prepare GAAP financial forecasts at the project level, we are not able to provide reconciliations between project-specific gross operating margin amounts and consolidated operating income, which includes all aspects of our operations.
Distributable Cash Flow
Quarterly and annual distributable cash flow (Slide 8). We define distributable cash flow as net income or loss plus: (i) depreciation and amortization expense; (ii) operating lease expenses for which we do not have the payment obligation; (iii) cash distributions received from unconsolidated affiliates less equity in the earnings of such unconsolidated affiliates; (iv) the subtraction of sustaining capital expenditures; (v) the addition of losses or subtraction of gains relating to the sale of assets; (vi) cash proceeds from the sale of assets or return of investment from unconsolidated affiliates; (vii) gains or losses on monetization of financial instruments recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income less related amortization of such amount to earnings; (viii) transition support payments received from El Paso related to the GTM merger and (ix) the addition of losses or subtraction of gains relating to other miscellaneous non-cash amounts affecting net income for the period. Sustaining capital expenditures are capital expenditures (as defined by GAAP) resulting from improvements to and major renewals of existing assets. Distributable cash flow is a significant liquidity metric used by our senior management to compare basic cash flows generated by us to the cash distributions we expect to pay our partners. Using this metric, our management can compute the coverage ratio of estimated cash flows to planned cash distributions.
Distributable cash flow is also an important non-GAAP financial measure for our limited partners since it serves as an indicator of our success in providing a cash return on investment. Specifically, this financial measure indicates to investors whether or not we are generating cash flows at a level that can sustain or support an increase in our quarterly cash distribution rate. Distributable cash flow is also a quantitative standard used by the investment community with respect to publicly traded partnerships such as ours because the value of a partnership unit is in part measured by its yield (which in turn is based on the amount of cash distributions a partnership pays to a unitholder). The GAAP measure most directly comparable to distributable cash flow is cash flow from operating activities.
Reconciliations of our non-GAAP quarterly and annual distributable cash flow amounts (as shown in the presentation) to their respective GAAP cash flow from operating activities amounts are presented as Schedule B to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
Distributable cash flow retained since GTM merger (Slide 7). The Investor Presentation includes a reference to the estimated amount of distributable cash flow (since the GTM merger) that we have reinvested for future growth. This estimate was calculated by summing our quarterly distributable cash flow amounts for the five quarter-period since the GTM merger and deducting the cash distributions we paid to partners with respect to such quarterly periods.
Schedule C to this Current Report on Form 8-K presents (i) our calculation of the estimated reinvestment amount for the five-quarter period since the GTM merger was completed and (ii) a reconciliation of the underlying quarterly distributable cash flow amounts to their respective GAAP cash flow from operating activities amounts.
EBITDA
Quarterly and annual EBITDA amounts (Slide 8). We define EBITDA as net income or loss plus interest expense, provision for income taxes and depreciation and amortization expense. EBITDA is commonly used as a supplemental financial measure by management and external users of our financial statements, such as investors, commercial banks, research analysts and rating agencies, to assess: (i) the financial performance of our assets without regard to financing methods, capital structures or historical cost basis; (ii) the ability of our assets to generate cash sufficient to pay interest cost and support our indebtedness; (iii) our operating performance and return on capital as compared to those of other companies in the midstream energy industry, without regard to financing
4
and capital structure; and (iv) the viability of projects and the overall rates of return on alternative investment opportunities. Because EBITDA excludes some, but not all, items that affect net income or loss and because these measures may vary among other companies, the EBITDA data presented in the Investor Presentation may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. The GAAP measure most directly comparable to EBITDA is cash flow from operating activities.
Reconciliations of our non-GAAP quarterly and annual EBITDA amounts (as shown in the presentation) to their respective GAAP cash flow from operating activities amounts are presented as Schedule D to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
PRO FORMA CAPITALIZATION
Slide 9 of the Investor Presentation presents our pro forma capitalization at December 31, 2005 after the application of approximately $431 million of net proceeds from our March 2006 equity offering, which closed on March 8, 2006. The pro forma capitalization column reflects (i) a $431 million decrease in long-term debt resulting from the assumed application of all net proceeds to temporarily reduce amounts outstanding under our multi-year revolving credit facility and (ii) a $431 million increase in partners’ equity from the sale of 18,400,000 common units, including a net cash contribution of $8.6 million from our general partner to maintain its proportionate 2% ownership interest.
Slide 9 also references our Leverage Ratio, which is a financial measure calculated in accordance with the provisions of our multi-year revolving credit facility. Schedule E presents our calculation of historical and pro forma Leverage Ratio amounts at December 31, 2005 along with a reconciliation of historical Leverage Ratio Cash Flow (a non-GAAP financial measure used to determine the Leverage Ratio) to its closest GAAP counterpart, which is cash flow from operating activities.
USE OF CAPITAL PROJECT FINANCIAL FORECAST DATA
Slide 22 of the Investor Presentation includes forecasts of annual gross operating margin amounts from groups of selected growth capital projects. Such forecasts are based upon key assumptions that we and our general partner, Enterprise Products GP, LLC, believe are reasonable; however, neither we nor our general partner can give you any assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct. You should not put undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements. Our forecasts of annual gross operating margins from such projects are subject to a variety of risks, uncertainties and assumptions. If one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or if underlying assumptions prove incorrect, our actual results may vary materially from those anticipated, estimated, projected or expected.
The key assumptions underlying our forecasts of gross operating margin from such projects are: (i) throughput and processing volumes from producers and other customers will materialize in the amounts and during the periods we estimate; (ii) construction and operation of the underlying assets will not be significantly hampered by weather delays or other natural and economic forces; (iii) costs to construct and operate the underlying assets will be within expected ranges of tolerance; and (iv) project revenues will be realized on a timely basis.
We do not intend and have no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement such as our forecast of annual gross operating margins from such projects, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
