*****Correction to Eagle Rock Energy Partners, L.P. Earnings Release*****
HOUSTON—Eagle Rock Energy Partners, L.P. (“Eagle Rock” or the “Partnership”) (NASDAQ GS: EROC) has modified the presentation of, and corrected a statistic in the tables included in its earnings press release issued on May 6th. The revised tables reflect the increasing significance of sulfur revenue in the Partnership’s operating results and properly reflect the realized crude price in its Upstream segment, which had previously been calculated including sulfur revenue. The presentation changes and correction of the realized crude oil price calculation have no impact to the Partnership’s financial results as reported in its previous earnings release and discussed in the earnings call of May 7th.
Below are the revised tables, including a note to explain the modification and/or correction:
