FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. Reports
Strong First-Quarter 2012 Results
(Houston — May 7, 2012) Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. (NYSE: PAA) today reported net income attributable to Plains of $230 million, or $1.02 per diluted limited partner unit, for the first quarter of 2012 as compared to net income attributable to Plains for the first quarter of 2011 of $182 million, or $0.90 per diluted limited partner unit. The Partnership reported earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) of $382 million for the first quarter of 2012, compared with reported EBITDA of $326 million for the first quarter of 2011.
The Partnership’s reported results include the impact of items that affect comparability between reporting periods. The impact of these items is excluded from adjusted results, as detailed in the table below. Accordingly, the Partnership’s first-quarter 2012 adjusted net income attributable to Plains, adjusted net income per diluted limited partner unit and adjusted EBITDA were $320 million, $1.58 and $472 million, respectively. The comparable amounts for the first quarter of 2011 were $202 million, $1.03 and $348 million. (See the section of this release entitled “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and the attached tables for discussion of EBITDA and other non-GAAP financial measures and reconciliations of such measures to the comparable GAAP measures.)
“PAA delivered strong first-quarter results, underpinned by above-forecast performance from each of our segments,” said Greg L. Armstrong, Chairman and CEO of Plains All American. “Adjusted EBITDA of $472 million surpassed the mid-point of our guidance by 18% driven by higher than forecasted pipeline volumes and solid execution during favorable market conditions.”
“We also increased our targeted 2012 organic growth capital program by $150 million to $1 billion and raised the mid-point of our annual Adjusted EBITDA guidance by $150 million, incorporating our strong first-quarter performance and our enhanced outlook for the remainder of the year.”
Armstrong added, “PAA ended the quarter with a strong balance sheet and comfortably within our targeted credit metrics. On March 31, we had cash on hand to fully prefund the acquisition of the $1.67 billion Canadian NGL business from BP, which closed immediately following the end of the quarter. Following the close of this large transaction, PAA maintained approximately $2.5 billion of committed liquidity.”
Armstrong also noted that with the distribution payable next week, PAA will have increased its year-over-year limited partner distributions by 7.7%, and remains on target to deliver 8-9% year-over-year distribution growth for 2012.

(2) | Segment general and administrative expenses (G&A) reflect direct costs attributable to each segment and an allocation of other expenses to the segments based on the business activities that existed at that time. The proportional allocations by segment require judgment by management and will continue to be based on the business activities that exist during each period. Includes acquisition-related expenses for both the 2012 and 2011 periods. |
(3) | Certain of our non-GAAP financial measures may not be impacted by each of the selected items impacting comparability. |
Adjusted segment profit for the Transportation segment for the first quarter of 2012 increased by 21% over comparable 2011 results. The increase was primarily driven by higher pipeline tariffs, volumes and pipeline loss allowance revenue, partially offset by higher operating and general and administrative expenses.
Adjusted segment profit for the Facilities segment for the first quarter of 2012 increased 15% over comparable 2011 results, benefitting from increased capacity from recently completed organic growth projects and the Southern Pines and Yorktown acquisitions.
Adjusted segment profit for the Supply and Logistics segment for the first quarter of 2012 increased 68% over comparable 2011 results due primarily to increased crude oil lease gathering margins and volumes during a period of significant increases in US and Canadian crude oil production.
The Partnership’s basic weighted average units outstanding for the first quarter of 2012 totaled 157 million (158 million diluted) as compared to 143 million (144 million diluted) in last year’s first quarter. On March 31, 2012, the Partnership had approximately 161.3 million units outstanding, long-term debt of approximately $5.8 billion and long-term debt-to-total capitalization ratio of 47%.

The Partnership has declared a quarterly distribution of $1.045 per unit ($4.18 per unit on an annualized basis) payable May 15, 2012, on its outstanding limited partner units. This distribution represents an increase of approximately 7.7% over the quarterly distribution paid in May 2011 and an increase of approximately 2.0% over the quarterly distribution paid in February 2012.
The Partnership will hold a conference call at 11:00 AM (Eastern) on May 8, 2012 (see details below). Prior to this conference call, the Partnership will furnish a current report on Form 8-K, which will include material in this press release and financial and operational guidance for the second quarter and full year 2012. A copy of the Form 8-K will be available on the Partnership’s website at www.paalp.com.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement our financial information presented in accordance with GAAP, management uses additional measures that are known as “non-GAAP financial measures” in its evaluation of past performance and prospects for the future. These measures include adjusted EBITDA and implied distributable cash flow (“DCF”). Management believes that the presentation of such additional financial measures provides useful information to investors regarding our performance and results of operations because these measures, when used in conjunction with related GAAP financial measures, (i) provide additional information about our core operating performance and ability to generate and distribute cash flow, (ii) provide investors with the financial analytical framework upon which management bases financial, operational, compensation and planning decisions and (iii) present measurements that investors, rating agencies and debt holders have indicated are useful in assessing us and our results of operations. These measures may exclude, for example, (i) charges for obligations that are expected to be settled with the issuance of equity instruments, (ii) the mark-to-market of derivative instruments that are related to underlying activities in another period (or the reversal of such adjustments from a prior period), (iii) items that are not indicative of our core operating results and business outlook and/or (iv) other items that we believe should be excluded in understanding our core operating performance. We have defined all such items as “Selected Items Impacting Comparability.” These additional financial measures are reconciled from the most directly comparable measures as reported in accordance with GAAP, and should be viewed in addition to, and not in lieu of, our consolidated financial statements and footnotes.

Although we present selected items that we consider in evaluating our performance, you should also be aware that the items presented do not represent all items that affect comparability between the periods presented. Variations in our operating results are also caused by changes in volumes, prices, exchange rates, mechanical interruptions, acquisitions and numerous other factors. A full analysis of these types of variations are not separately identified in this release, but will be discussed, as applicable, in management’s discussion and analysis of operating results in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Forward Looking Statements
Except for the historical information contained herein, the matters discussed in this release are forward-looking statements that involve certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from results anticipated in the forward-looking statements.
