Revision of Previously Reported Revenues and Product Purchases
During the third quarter of 2014, Targa Resources Partners LP (the “Partnership”) concluded that certain prior period buy-sell transactions related to the marketing of NGL products were incorrectly reported on a gross basis as Revenues and Product Purchases in previous Consolidated Statements of Operations. Generally accepted accounting principles require that such transactions that involve purchases and sales of inventory with the same counterparty that are legally contingent or in contemplation of one another be reported as a single transaction on a combined net basis.
Financial Impact of Buy-Sell Transactions Related to Marketing of NGL Products
The Partnership concluded that these misclassifications were not material to any of the periods affected. However, the Partnership has revised previously reported revenues and product purchases to correctly report NGL buy-sell transactions on a net basis. Accordingly, Revenues and Product Purchases reported in its Form 10-K filed on February 14, 2014 and in previous quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for 2014 and 2013 will be reduced by equal amounts as presented in the following tables. There is no impact on previously reported net income, cash flows, financial position or other profitability measures.
