Adjusted EBITDA & Distributable Cash Flow Reconciliation
This presentation, the financial tables and other supplemental information, including the reconciliations
of certain non-generally accepted accounting principles ("non-GAAP") measures to their nearest
comparable generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") measures, may be used periodically by
management when discussing Legacy's financial results with investors and analysts and they are also
available on Legacy's website under the Investor Relations tab. Adjusted EBITDA is defined in our
revolving credit facility as net income (loss) plus interest expense; depletion, depreciation, amortization
and accretion; impairment of long-lived assets; (gain) loss on sale of partnership investment; (gain) loss
on sale of assets; equity in (income) loss of partnerships; non-cash compensation expense and
unrealized (gain) loss on oil and natural gas swaps. We define Distributable Cash Flows as Adjusted
EBITDA less cash interest expense, cash settlement of unit options, and development capital
expenditures. Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow is presented as management believes it
provides additional information and metrics relative to the performance of Legacy's business, such as
the cash distributions we expect to pay to our unitholders, as well as our ability to meet our debt
covenant compliance tests. Management believes that these financial measures indicate to investors
whether or not cash flow is being generated at a level that can sustain or support an increase in our
quarterly distribution rates. Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow may not be comparable to a
similarly titled measure of other publicly traded limited partnerships or limited liability companies
because all companies may not calculate Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow in the same
manner.
