(1) Basic and diluted income per limited partner unit is computed using the two-class method. Under the two-class method, basic and diluted income per limited partner unit is determined by dividing income allocated to the limited partner units after deducting the amounts allocated to our general partner (including distributions to our general partner on its incentive distribution rights) and participating securities (phantom units with nonforfeitable tandem distribution equivalent rights to receive cash distributions), by the weighted average number of outstanding limited partner units excluding the weighted average number of outstanding participating securities during the period. |

(1) Management believes EBITDA, as further adjusted, and gross margin provide useful information to investors because these non-GAAP measures, when viewed with our GAAP results and accompanying reconciliations, provide a more complete understanding of our performance than GAAP results alone. Management uses these non-GAAP measures as supplemental measures to review current period operating performance, comparability measures and performance measures for period to period comparisons. In addition, management uses EBITDA, as further adjusted, as a valuation measure. |
(2) Provisions in the Omnibus Agreement that provided caps on our obligation to reimburse AROC for operating and SG&A expenses terminated on January 1, 2015. The benefits received by us from the caps on operating and SG&A costs provided by AROC were $3.6 million and $13.9 million during the three months ended December 31, 2014 and the year ended December 31, 2014, respectively. Excluding the benefit of the cost caps from our previously defined non-GAAP measures of EBITDA, as further adjusted, and distributable cash flow provides external users of our consolidated financial statements comparable measures to assess operating performance in the current year period with operating performance in the prior year periods. |
(3) Management uses distributable cash flow, a non-GAAP measure, as a supplemental performance and liquidity measure. Using this metric, management can quickly compute the coverage ratio of estimated cash flows to planned cash distributions. |
(4) Defined as distributable cash flow for the period divided by distributions declared to all unitholders for the period, including incentive distribution rights. |
(5) Defined as distributable cash flow excluding the benefit of the cost caps for the period divided by distributions declared to all unitholders for the period, including incentive distribution rights. |

(1) Management believes EBITDA, as further adjusted, diluted income per limited partner unit, excluding items, and gross margin provide useful information to investors because these non-GAAP measures, when viewed with our GAAP results and accompanying reconciliations, provide a more complete understanding of our performance than GAAP results alone. Management uses these non-GAAP measures as supplemental measures to review current period operating performance, comparability measures and performance measures for period to period comparisons. In addition, management uses EBITDA, as further adjusted, as a valuation measure. |
(2) Management uses distributable cash flow, a non-GAAP measure, as a supplemental performance and liquidity measure. Using this metric, management can quickly compute the coverage ratio of estimated cash flows to planned cash distributions. |
