CAUTIONARY STATEMENT ABOUT FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Targa Resources Corp.’s (together with its subsidiaries, other than Targa Resources Partners LP (“the Partnership”), collectively “we,” “us,” “Targa,” “TRC,” or the “Company”) reports, filings and other public announcements may from time to time contain statements that do not directly or exclusively relate to historical facts. Such statements are “forward-looking statements.” You can typically identify forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, by the use of forward-looking statements, such as “may,” “could,” “project,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “expect,” “estimate,” “potential,” “plan,” “forecast” and other similar words.
All statements that are not statements of historical facts, including statements regarding our future financial position, business strategy, budgets, projected costs and plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements.
These forward-looking statements reflect our intentions, plans, expectations, assumptions and beliefs about future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which are outside our control. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the expectations expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements include known and unknown risks. Known risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the risks set forth in “Part II – Other Information, Item 1A. Risk Factors.” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Quarterly Report”) as well as the following risks and uncertainties:
· | the Partnership’s and our ability to access the debt and equity markets, which will depend on general market conditions and the credit ratings for our debt obligations; |
· | the amount of collateral required to be posted from time to time in the Partnership’s transactions; |
· | the Partnership’s success in risk management activities, including the use of derivative instruments to hedge commodity risks; |
· | the level of creditworthiness of counterparties to various transactions with the Partnership; |
· | changes in laws and regulations, particularly with regard to taxes, safety and protection of the environment; |
· | the timing and extent of changes in natural gas, natural gas liquids (“NGL”), crude oil and other commodity prices, interest rates and demand for the Partnership’s services; |
· | weather and other natural phenomena; |
· | industry changes, including the impact of consolidations and changes in competition; |
· | the Partnership’s ability to obtain necessary licenses, permits and other approvals; |
· | the level and success of crude oil and natural gas drilling around the Partnership’s assets, its success in connecting natural gas supplies to its gathering and processing systems, oil supplies to its gathering systems and NGL supplies to its logistics and marketing facilities and the Partnership’s success in connecting its facilities to transportation and markets; |
· | the Partnership’s and our ability to grow through acquisitions or internal growth projects and the successful integration and future performance of such assets; |
· | general economic, market and business conditions; and |
· | the risks described elsewhere in “Part II – Other Information, Item 1A. Risk Factors.” in this Quarterly Report, our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 (“Annual Report”) and our reports and registration statements filed from time to time with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). |
Although we believe that the assumptions underlying our forward-looking statements are reasonable, any of the assumptions could be inaccurate, and, therefore, we cannot assure you that the forward-looking statements included in this Quarterly Report will prove to be accurate. Some of these and other risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from such forward-looking statements are more fully described in “Part II – Other Information, Item 1A. Risk Factors.” in this Quarterly Report and in our Annual Report. Except as may be required by applicable law, we undertake no obligation to publicly update or advise of any change in any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

TARGA RESOURCES CORP.
(Unaudited)
The year-end condensed balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. Except as noted within the context of each footnote disclosure, the dollar amounts presented in the tabular data within these footnote disclosures are stated in millions of dollars.
Note 1 — Organization
Targa Resources Corp. (“TRC”) is a Delaware corporation formed in October 2005. Our common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “TRGP.” In this Quarterly Report, unless the context requires otherwise, references to “we,” “us,” “our,” “the Company” or “Targa” are intended to mean our consolidated business and operations.
Note 2 — Basis of Presentation
We have prepared these unaudited consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. While we derived the year-end balance sheet data from audited financial statements, this interim report does not include all disclosures required by GAAP for annual periods. These unaudited consolidated financial statements and other information included in this Quarterly Report should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report.
The unaudited consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 include all adjustments, which we believe are necessary, for a fair presentation of the results for interim periods. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain amounts in prior periods may have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
Our financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.
Reclassifications Affecting Statement of Cash Flows
In conjunction with the ongoing integration of Badlands into its financial reporting environment during 2013, the Partnership obtained further information about acquisition date balance sheet, including the nature of the items comprising assumed Accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The Partnership determined that certain assumed liabilities related to purchases that, under its accounting policies, the Partnership considered capital in nature. Consequently, the Partnership made certain refinements to better reflect Badlands cash flow activity on a basis similar to that used its other operations. As a result of these refinements, certain Badlands cash flow activity was presented in its 2013 Form 10-K on a basis different than that utilized for previous quarterly reporting during 2013. In preparing this quarterly report the Partnership has made certain measurement period reclassifications to the comparative Statement of Cash Flows for the three months ended March 31, 2013 to conform to the presentation of its Form 10-K, reclassifying $18.9 million related to capital expenditures previously included in Accounts payable and other liabilities of operating activities to Outlays for property, plant and equipment in investing activities, as shown below.

One of our indirect subsidiaries is the sole general partner of Targa Resources Partners LP (“the Partnership”). Because we control the general partner of the Partnership, under GAAP, we must reflect our ownership interests in the Partnership on a consolidated basis. Accordingly, the Partnership’s financial results are included in our consolidated financial statements even though the distribution or transfer of Partnership assets is limited by the terms of the Partnership’s partnership agreement, as well as restrictive covenants in the Partnership’s lending agreements. The limited partner interests in the Partnership not owned by us are reflected in our results of operations as net income attributable to noncontrolling interests and in our balance sheet equity section as noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries. Throughout these footnotes, we make a distinction where relevant between financial results of the Partnership versus those of a standalone parent and its non-partnership subsidiaries.
As of March 31, 2014, our interests in the Partnership consist of the following:
· | a 2% general partner interest, which we hold through our 100% ownership interest in the general partner of the Partnership; |
· | all Incentive Distribution Rights (“IDRs”); and |
· | 12,945,659 common units of the Partnership, representing an 11.4% limited partnership interest. |
The Partnership is engaged in the business of gathering, compressing, treating, processing and selling natural gas; storing, fractionating, treating, transporting and selling NGLs and NGL products; gathering, storing and terminaling crude oil; and storing, terminaling and selling refined petroleum products. See Note 18 for an analysis of our and the Partnership’s operations by business segment.
Note 3 — Significant Accounting Policies
Accounting Policy Updates/Revisions
The accounting policies that we follow are set forth in Note 3 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. There were no significant updates or revisions to these policies during the three months ended March 31, 2014.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No 2014-08, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity. The amendment, required to be applied prospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014, limits discontinued operations reporting to disposals of components of an entity that represent strategic shifts that have, or will have, a major effect on operations and financial results. The amendment requires expanded disclosures for discontinued operations and also requires additional disclosures regarding disposals of individually significant components that do not qualify as discontinued operations. Early adoption is permitted, but only for disposals (or classifications as held for sale) that have not been reported in financial statements previously issued or available for issuance. This amendment has no impact on our current disclosures, but will in the future if we dispose of any individually significant components.

Note 13 — Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
Partnership Commodity Hedges
The primary purpose of the Partnership’s commodity risk management activities is to manage its exposure to commodity price risk and reduce volatility in its operating cash flow due to fluctuations in commodity prices. The Partnership has hedged the commodity prices associated with a portion of its expected (i) natural gas equity volumes in Field Gathering and Processing segment and (ii) NGL and condensate equity volumes predominately in the Field Gathering and Processing segment and the LOU business unit in the Coastal Gathering and Processing segment that result from its percent-of-proceeds processing arrangements. These hedge positions will move favorably in periods of falling commodity prices and unfavorably in periods of rising commodity prices. The Partnership has designated these derivative contracts as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes.
The hedges generally match the NGL product composition and the NGL and natural gas delivery points to those of the Partnership’s physical equity volumes. The NGL hedges may be transacted as specific NGL hedges or as baskets of ethane, propane, normal butane, isobutane and natural gasoline based upon the Partnership’s expected equity NGL composition. We believe this approach avoids uncorrelated risks resulting from employing hedges on crude oil or other petroleum products as “proxy” hedges of NGL prices. The Partnership’s natural gas and NGL hedges are settled using published index prices for delivery at various locations, which closely approximate the Partnership’s actual natural gas and NGL delivery points.
The Partnership hedges a portion of its condensate equity volumes using crude oil hedges that are based on the New York Mercantile Exchange (“NYMEX”) futures contracts for West Texas Intermediate light, sweet crude, which approximates the prices received for condensate. This necessarily exposes the Partnership to a market differential risk if the NYMEX futures do not move in exact parity with the sales price of its underlying condensate equity volumes.
At March 31, 2014, the notional volumes of the Partnership’s commodity hedges for equity volumes were:
Commodity | Instrument | Unit | 2014 | 2015 | 2016 | |||||||||||
Natural Gas | Swaps | MMBtu/d | 54,050 | 40,551 | 25,500 | |||||||||||
NGL | Swaps | Bbl/d | 1,125 | - | - | |||||||||||
Condensate | Swaps | Bbl/d | 2,450 | - | - |
The Partnership also enters into derivative instruments to help manage other short-term commodity-related business risks. The Partnership has not designated these derivatives as hedges, and records changes in fair value and cash settlements to revenues.
The Partnership’s derivative contracts are subject to netting arrangements that allow net cash settlement of offsetting asset and liability positions with the same counterparty. We record derivative assets and liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets on a gross basis, without considering the effect of master netting arrangements. The following schedules reflect the fair values of our derivative instruments and their location in our Consolidated Balance Sheets as well as pro forma reporting assuming that we reported derivatives subject to master netting agreements on a net basis:

The fair value of the Partnership’s derivative instruments, depending on the type of instrument, was determined by the use of present value methods or standard option valuation models with assumptions about commodity prices based on those observed in underlying markets.
The estimated fair value of the Partnership’s derivative instruments was a net liability of $9.6 million as of March 31, 2014. The estimated fair value is net of an adjustment for credit risk based on the default probabilities by year as indicated by market quotes for the counterparties’ credit default swap rates. The credit risk adjustment was immaterial for all periods presented.
The Partnership’s payment obligations in connection with substantially all of these hedging transactions are secured by a first priority lien in the collateral securing its senior secured indebtedness that ranks equal in right of payment with liens granted in favor of its senior secured lenders.
The following tables reflect amounts recorded in OCI and amounts reclassified from OCI to revenue and expense for the periods indicated:

$ | (7.6 | ) | $ | 4.9 |
Hedge ineffectiveness was immaterial for all periods presented.
Our consolidated earnings are also affected by the Partnership’s use of the mark-to-market method of accounting for derivative instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting or that have not been designated as hedges. The changes in fair value of these instruments are recorded on the balance sheet and through earnings (i.e., using the “mark-to-market” method) rather than being deferred until the anticipated transaction settles. The use of mark-to-market accounting for financial instruments can cause non-cash earnings volatility due to changes in the underlying commodity price indices. Gain (loss) recognized on commodity derivatives not designated as hedging instruments was immaterial for all periods presented.
The following table shows the deferred gains (losses) included in accumulated OCI that will be reclassified into earnings through the end of 2016:
March 31, 2014 | December 31, 2013 | |||||||
Commodity hedges, before tax | $ | (1.2 | ) | $ | (0.5 | ) | ||

As of March 31, 2014, net losses of $11.0 million on commodity hedges and net losses of $1.1 million on terminated interest rate swaps recorded in OCI are expected to be reclassified to revenue and interest expense during the next twelve months.
See Note 14 for additional disclosures related to derivative instruments and hedging activities.
Note 14 — Fair Value Measurements
Under GAAP, our Consolidated Balance Sheets reflect a mixture of measurement methods for financial assets and liabilities (“financial instruments”). Derivative financial instruments are reported at fair value in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Other financial instruments are reported at historical cost or amortized cost in our Consolidated Balance Sheets, with fair value measurements for these instruments provided as supplemental information.
The following are additional qualitative and quantitative disclosures regarding fair value measurements of financial instruments.
Fair Value of Derivative Financial Instruments
The Partnership’s derivative instruments consist of financially settled commodity swaps and option contracts and fixed-price commodity contracts with certain counterparties. The Partnership determines the fair value of its derivative contracts using a discounted cash flow model for swaps and a standard option pricing-model for options, based on inputs that are readily available in public markets. The Partnership has consistently applied these valuation techniques in all periods presented and we believe the Partnership has obtained the most accurate information available for the types of derivative contracts the Partnership holds.
The fair values of the Partnership’s derivative instruments are sensitive to changes in forward pricing on natural gas, NGLs and crude oil. This financial position reflects the present value, adjusted for counterparty credit risk, of the amount the Partnership expects to receive or pay in the future on its derivative contracts. If forward pricing on natural gas, NGLs and crude oil were to increase by 10%, the result would be a fair value reflecting a net liability of $33.1 million, ignoring an adjustment for counterparty credit risk. If forward pricing on natural gas, NGLs and crude oil were to decrease by 10%, the result would be a fair value reflecting a net asset of $13.8 million, ignoring an adjustment for counterparty credit risk.
Fair Value of Other Financial Instruments
The contingent consideration obligation related to the Partnership’s Badlands acquisition is reported at fair value. Due to their cash or near-cash nature, the carrying value of other financial instruments included in working capital (i.e., cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable) approximates their fair value. As such, long-term debt is primarily the other financial instrument for which our carrying value could vary significantly from fair value. We determined the supplemental fair value disclosures for our long-term debt as follows:
• | Senior secured revolving credit facilities and the Partnership’s Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility are based on carrying value, which approximates fair value as their interest rates are based on prevailing market rates; and |
• | Senior unsecured notes are based on quoted market prices derived from trades of the debt. |
Fair Value Hierarchy
We categorize the inputs to the fair value measurements of financial assets and liabilities using a three-tier fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the significant inputs used in measuring fair value:
• | Level 1 – observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; |
• | Level 2 – inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that we can directly or indirectly observe to the extent that the markets are liquid for the relevant settlement periods; and |
• | Level 3 – unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore we must develop our own assumptions. |
The following table shows a breakdown by fair value hierarchy category for (1) financial instruments measurements included in our Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value and (2) supplemental fair value disclosures for other financial instruments:

(1) | The fair value of the derivative contracts in this table is presented on a different basis than the balance sheet presentation as disclosed in Note 13. The above fair values reflect the total value of each derivative contract taken as a whole, whereas the balance sheet presentation is based on the individual maturity dates of estimated future settlements. As such, an individual contract could have both an asset and liability position when segregated into its current and long-term portions for balance sheet classification purposes. |
Additional Information Regarding Level 3 Fair Value Measurements Included in Our Consolidated Balance Sheets
As of March 31, 2014, we reported certain of the Partnership’s natural gas basis swaps at fair value using Level 3 inputs due to such derivatives not having observable market prices for substantially the full term of the derivative asset or liability. For valuations that include both observable and unobservable inputs, if the unobservable input is determined to be significant to the overall inputs, the entire valuation is categorized in Level 3. This includes derivatives valued using indicative price quotations whose contract length extends into unobservable periods.
The fair value of these natural gas basis swaps is determined using a discounted cash flow valuation technique based on a forward commodity basis curve. For these derivatives, the primary input to the valuation model is the forward commodity basis curve, which is based on observable or public data sources and extrapolated when observable prices are not available.
As of March 31, 2014, the Partnership had fourteen natural gas basis swaps categorized as Level 3. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurements of the Partnership’s Level 3 derivatives are the forward natural gas basis curves, for which a significant portion of the derivative’s term is beyond available forward pricing. The change in the fair value of Level 3 derivatives associated with a 10% change in the forward basis curve where prices are not observable is immaterial.
The following table summarizes the changes in fair value of our financial instruments classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy:
Commodity Derivative Contracts Asset/ (Liability) | ||||
Balance, December 31, 2013 | $ | 0.7 | ||
Settlements included in Revenue | (0.9 | ) | ||
Balance, March 31, 2014 | $ | (0.2 | ) |
There has been no material transfer of assets or liabilities among the three levels of the fair value hierarchy during the three months ended March 31, 2014.

Note 18 — Segment Information
The Partnership reports its operations in two divisions: (i) Gathering and Processing, consisting of two reportable segments – (a) Field Gathering and Processing and (b) Coastal Gathering and Processing; and (ii) Logistics and Marketing consisting of two reportable segments – (a) Logistics Assets and (b) Marketing and Distribution. The financial results of its hedging activities are reported in Other.
The Partnership’s Gathering and Processing division includes assets used in the gathering of natural gas produced from oil and gas wells and processing this raw natural gas into merchantable natural gas by extracting NGLs and removing impurities; and assets used for crude oil gathering and terminaling. The Field Gathering and Processing segment's assets are located in North Texas, the Permian Basin of West Texas, New Mexico and in North Dakota. The Coastal Gathering and Processing segment's assets are located in the onshore and near offshore regions of the Louisiana Gulf Coast and the Gulf of Mexico.
The Partnership’s Logistics and Marketing division is also referred to as its Downstream Business. The Partnership’s Downstream Business includes all the activities necessary to convert mixed NGLs into NGL products and provides certain value added services such as storing, terminaling, distributing and marketing of NGLs, refined petroleum products and crude oil. It also includes certain natural gas supply and marketing activities in support of the Partnership’s other operations, including services to LPG exporters, as well as transporting natural gas and NGLs.
The Partnership’s Logistics Assets segment is involved in transporting, storing, and fractionating mixed NGLs; storing, terminaling, and transporting finished NGLs, including services for exported LPGs; and storing and terminaling refined petroleum products. These assets are generally connected to and supplied in part by the Partnership’s Gathering and Processing segments and are predominantly located in Mont Belvieu, and Galena Park, Texas and Lake Charles, Louisiana.
The Partnership’s Marketing and Distribution segment covers activities required to distribute and market raw and finished NGLs and all natural gas marketing activities. It includes (1) marketing the Partnership’s own NGL production and purchasing NGL products for resale in selected United States markets; (2) providing LPG balancing services to refinery customers; (3) transporting, storing and selling propane and providing related propane logistics services to multi-state retailers, independent retailers and other end-users; providing propane, butane and services to LPG exporters; and (4) marketing natural gas available to the Partnership from its Gathering and Processing division and the purchase and resale and other value added activities related to third-party natural gas in selected United States markets.

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 (“Annual Report”), as well as the unaudited consolidated financial statements and Notes hereto included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Overview
Targa Resources Corp. is a publicly traded Delaware corporation formed in October 2005. Our common stock is listed on the NYSE under the symbol “TRGP.” In this Quarterly Report, unless the context requires otherwise, references to “we,” “us,” “our,” the “Company,” or “Targa” are intended to mean our consolidated business and operations.
We own general and limited partner interests, including Incentive Distribution Rights (“IDRs”), in Targa Resources Partners LP (the “Partnership”), a publicly traded Delaware limited partnership that is a leading United States provider of midstream natural gas and NGL services, with a growing presence in crude oil gathering and petroleum terminaling. Common units of the Partnership are listed on the NYSE under the symbol “NGLS.”
Our primary business objective is to increase our cash available for dividends to our stockholders by assisting the Partnership in executing its business strategy. We may facilitate the Partnership’s growth through various forms of financial support, including, but not limited to, modifying the Partnership’s IDRs, exercising the Partnership’s IDR reset provision contained in its partnership agreement, making loans, making capital contributions in exchange for yielding or non-yielding equity interests or providing other financial support to the Partnership, if needed, to support its ability to make distributions. We also may enter into other economic transactions intended to increase our ability to make cash available for dividends over time. In addition, we may acquire assets that could be candidates for acquisition by the Partnership, potentially after operational or commercial improvement or further development.
An indirect subsidiary of ours is the general partner of the Partnership. Because we control the general partner, under GAAP we must reflect our ownership interest in the Partnership on a consolidated basis. Accordingly, the Partnership’s financial results are included in our consolidated financial statements even though the distribution or transfer of Partnership assets are limited by the terms of the partnership agreement, as well as restrictive covenants in the Partnership’s lending agreements. The limited partner interests in the Partnership not owned by us are reflected in our results of operations as net income attributable to noncontrolling interests. Therefore, throughout this discussion, we make a distinction where relevant between financial results of the Partnership versus those of us as a standalone parent including our non-Partnership subsidiaries.
The Partnership files its own separate Quarterly Report. The financial results presented in our consolidated financial statements will differ from the financial statements of the Partnership primarily due to the effects of:
· | our separate debt obligations; |
· | federal income taxes; |
· | certain retained general and administrative costs applicable to us as a public company; |
· | certain administrative assets and liabilities incumbent as a provider of operational and support services to the Partnership; |
· | certain non-operating assets and liabilities that we retained; |
· | Partnership distributions and earnings allocable to third-party common unitholders which are included in non-controlling interest in our statements; and |
· | Partnership distributions applicable to our General Partner interest, Incentive Distribution Rights and investment in Partnership common units. While these are eliminated when preparing our consolidated financial statements, they nonetheless are the primary source of cash flow that supports the payment of dividends to our stockholders. |
Our Operations
Currently, we have no separate, direct operating activities apart from those conducted by the Partnership. As such, our cash inflows will primarily consist of cash distributions from our interests in the Partnership. The Partnership is required to distribute all available cash at the end of each quarter after establishing reserves to provide for the proper conduct of its business or to provide for future distributions.
The Partnership’s Operations
The Partnership is a leading provider of midstream natural gas and NGL services, with a growing presence in crude oil gathering and petroleum terminaling in the United States. In connection with these business activities, the Partnership buys and sells natural gas, NGLs and NGL products, crude oil, condensate and refined products.
The Partnership is engaged in the business of:
· | gathering, compressing, treating, processing and selling natural gas; |
· | storing, fractionating, treating, transporting and selling NGLs and NGL products, including services to LPG exporters; |
· | gathering, storing and terminaling crude oil; and |
· | storing, terminaling and selling refined petroleum products. |
The Partnership reports its operations in two divisions: (i) Gathering and Processing, consisting of two reportable segments – (a) Field Gathering and Processing and (b) Coastal Gathering and Processing; and (ii) Logistics and Marketing, consisting of two reportable segments – (a) Logistics Assets and (b) Marketing and Distribution. The financial results of its hedging activities are reported in Other.
The Partnership’s Gathering and Processing division includes assets used in the gathering of natural gas produced from oil and gas wells and processing this raw natural gas into merchantable natural gas by extracting NGLs and removing impurities; and assets used for crude oil gathering and terminaling. The Field Gathering and Processing segment's assets are located in North Texas, the Permian Basin of West Texas and New Mexico and in North Dakota. The Coastal Gathering and Processing segment's assets are located in the onshore and near offshore regions of the Louisiana Gulf Coast and the Gulf of Mexico.
The Partnership’s Logistics and Marketing division is also referred to as its Downstream Business. The Partnership’s Downstream Business includes all the activities necessary to convert mixed NGLs into NGL products and provides certain value added services such as the storing, terminaling, distributing and marketing of NGLs, the storage and terminaling of refined petroleum products and crude oil and certain natural gas supply and marketing activities in support of our other businesses including services to LPG exporters. It also includes certain natural gas supply and marketing activities in support of the Partnership’s other operations, as well as transporting natural gas and NGLs.
The Partnership’s Logistics Assets segment is involved in transporting, storing, and fractionating mixed NGLs; storing, terminaling, and transporting finished NGLs, including services for exporting LPGs; and storing and terminaling of refined petroleum products. These assets are generally connected to and supplied in part by the Partnership’s Gathering and Processing segments and are predominantly located in Mont Belvieu and Galena Park, Texas and in Lake Charles, Louisiana.
The Partnership’s Marketing and Distribution segment covers activities required to distribute and market raw and finished NGLs and all natural gas marketing activities. It includes (1) marketing the Partnership’s own NGL production and purchasing NGL products for resale in selected United States markets; (2) providing LPG balancing services to refinery customers; (3) transporting, storing and selling propane and providing related propane logistics services to multi-state retailers, independent retailers and other end-users; (4) providing propane, butane and services to LPG exporters; and (5) marketing natural gas available to the Partnership from its Gathering and Processing division and the purchase and resale and other value added activities related to third-party natural gas in selected United States markets.
Other contains the results of the Partnership’s commodity hedging activities included in operating margin.
2014 Year-to-Date Developments
Financing Activities
During 2014, pursuant to the August 2013 EDA, the Partnership issued a total of 3,024,901 common units representing total net proceeds of $163.0 million, which were used to reduce borrowings under the TRP Revolver and for general partnership purposes. We contributed $3.4 million to the Partnership to maintain our 2% general partner interest during this period.
How We Evaluate Our Operations
Our consolidated operations include the operations of the Partnership due to our ownership and control of the general partner. We currently have no direct operating activities separate from those conducted by the Partnership. Our financial results differ from the Partnership’s due to the financial effects of: noncontrolling interests in the Partnership, our separate debt obligations, certain non-operating costs associated with assets and liabilities that we retained and were not included in asset conveyances to the Partnership, and certain general and administrative costs applicable to us as a separate public company. Management’s primary measure of analyzing our performance is the non-GAAP measure distributable cash flow.
Distributable Cash Flow
We define distributable cash flow as distributions due to us from the Partnership, less our specific general and administrative costs as a separate public reporting entity, the interest carry costs associated with our debt and taxes attributable to our earnings. Distributable cash flow is a significant performance metric used by us and by external users of our financial statements, such as investors, commercial banks, research analysts and others to compare basic cash flows generated by us to the cash dividends we expect to pay our shareholders. Using this metric, management and external users of our financial statements can quickly compute the coverage ratio of estimated cash flows to planned cash dividends. Distributable cash flow is also an important financial measure for our shareholders since it serves as an indicator of our success in providing a cash return on investment. Specifically, this financial measure indicates to investors whether or not we are generating cash flow at a level that can sustain or support an increase in our quarterly dividend rates. Distributable cash flow is also a quantitative standard used throughout the investment community because the share value is generally determined by the share’s yield (which in turn is based on the amount of cash dividends the entity pays to a shareholder).
The economic substance behind our use of distributable cash flow is to measure the ability of our assets to generate cash flow sufficient to pay dividends to our investors.
The GAAP measure most directly comparable to distributable cash flow is net income. Distributable cash flow should not be considered as an alternative to GAAP net income. Distributable cash flow is not a presentation made in accordance with GAAP and has important limitations as an analytical tool. Investors should not consider distributable cash flow in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Because distributable cash flow excludes some, but not all, items that affect net income and is defined differently by different companies in our industry, our definition of distributable cash flow may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing its utility.
Our Non-GAAP Measures
Management compensates for the limitations of distributable cash flow as an analytical tool by reviewing the comparable GAAP measure, understanding the differences between the measures and incorporating these insights into its decision making process.

How We Evaluate the Partnership’s Operations
The Partnership’s profitability is a function of the difference between: (i) the revenues the Partnership receives from its operations, including fee-based revenues from services and revenues from the natural gas, NGLs, crude and condensate the Partnership sells, and (ii) the costs associated with conducting the Partnership’s operations, including the costs of wellhead natural gas, crude and mixed NGLs that the Partnership purchases as well as operating, general and administrative costs and the impact of commodity hedging activities. Because commodity price movements tend to impact both revenues and costs, increases or decreases in the Partnership’s revenues alone are not necessarily indicative of increases or decreases in its profitability. The Partnership’s contract portfolio, the prevailing pricing environment for crude oil, natural gas and NGLs, and the volumes of crude oil, natural gas and NGL throughput on its systems are important factors in determining its profitability. The Partnership’s profitability is also affected by the NGL content in gathered wellhead natural gas, supply and demand for its products and services, utilization of its assets and changes in its customer mix.
The Partnership’s profitability is also impacted by fee-based revenues. The Partnership’s growth strategy, based on expansion of existing facilities as well as third-party acquisitions of businesses and assets, has been increasing the percentage of our revenues that are fee-based. Fixed fees for services such as fractionation, storage, terminaling and crude oil gathering are not directly tied to changes in market prices for commodities.
Management uses a variety of financial measures and operational measurements to analyze the Partnership’s performance. These include: (1) throughput volumes, facility efficiencies and fuel consumption, (2) operating expenses, (3) capital expenditures and (4) the following non-GAAP measures: —gross margin, operating margin, adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow.
Throughput Volumes, Facility Efficiencies and Fuel Consumption
The Partnership’s profitability is impacted by its ability to add new sources of natural gas supply and crude oil supply to offset the natural decline of existing volumes from oil and natural gas wells that are connected to its gathering and processing systems. This is achieved by connecting new wells and adding new volumes in existing areas of production, as well as by capturing crude oil and natural gas supplies currently gathered by third-parties. Similarly, the Partnership’s profitability is impacted by its ability to add new sources of mixed NGL supply, typically connected by third-party transportation, to its Downstream Business’ fractionation facilities. The Partnership fractionates NGLs generated by its gathering and processing plants, as well as by contracting for mixed NGL supply from third-party facilities.
In addition, the Partnership seeks to increase operating margin by limiting volume losses, reducing fuel consumption and by increasing efficiency. With its gathering systems’ extensive use of remote monitoring capabilities, the Partnership monitors the volumes received at the wellhead or central delivery points along its gathering systems, the volume of natural gas received at its processing plant inlets and the volumes of NGLs and residue natural gas recovered by its processing plants. The Partnership also monitors the volumes of NGLs received, stored, fractionated and delivered across its logistics assets. This information is tracked through its processing plants and Downstream Business facilities to determine customer settlements for sales and volume related fees for service and helps the Partnership increase efficiency and reduces fuel consumption.
As part of monitoring the efficiency of its operations, the Partnership measures the difference between the volume of natural gas received at the wellhead or central delivery points on its gathering systems and the volume received at the inlet of its processing plants as an indicator of fuel consumption and line loss. The Partnership also tracks the difference between the volume of natural gas received at the inlet of the processing plant and the NGLs and residue gas produced at the outlet of such plant to monitor the fuel consumption and recoveries of its facilities. Similar tracking is performed for its crude oil gathering and logistics assets. These volume, recovery and fuel consumption measurements are an important part of the Partnership’s operational efficiency analysis and safety programs.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses are costs associated with the operation of specific assets. Labor, contract services, repair and maintenance, utilities and ad valorem taxes comprise the most significant portion of the Partnership’s operating expenses. These expenses, other than fuel and power, generally remain relatively stable and independent of the volumes through its systems but fluctuate depending on the scope of the activities performed during a specific period.
Capital Expenditures
Capital projects associated with growth and maintenance projects are closely monitored. Return on investment is analyzed before a capital project is approved, spending is closely monitored throughout the development of the project, and the subsequent operational performance is compared to the assumptions used in the economic analysis performed for the capital investment approval. The Partnership has seen a substantial increase in its total capital spent since 2010 and currently has significant internal growth projects that it closely monitors.
Gross Margin
The Partnership defines gross margin as revenues less purchases. It is impacted by volumes and commodity prices as well as by the Partnership’s contract mix and commodity hedging program. The Partnership defines Gathering and Processing gross margin as total operating revenues from (1) the sale of natural gas, crude, condensate and NGLs (2) natural gas and crude oil gathering and service fee revenues and (3) settlement gains and losses on commodity hedges, less product purchases, which consist primarily of producer payments and other natural gas and crude purchases. Logistics Assets gross margin consists primarily of service fee revenue. Gross margin for Marketing and Distribution equals total revenue from service fees, NGL and natural gas sales, less cost of sales, which consists primarily of NGL and natural gas purchases, transportation costs and changes in inventory valuation. The gross margin impacts of cash flow hedge settlements are reported in Other.
Operating Margin
The Partnership defines operating margin as gross margin less operating expenses. Operating margin is an important performance measure of the core profitability of the Partnership’s operations.
Management reviews business segment gross margin and operating margin monthly as a core internal management process. We believe that investors benefit from having access to the same financial measures that management uses in evaluating the Partnership’s operating results. Gross margin and operating margin provide useful information to investors because they are used as supplemental financial measures by management and by external users of the Partnership’s financial statements, including investors and commercial banks, to assess:
· | the financial performance of the Partnership’s assets without regard to financing methods, capital structure or historical cost basis; |
· | the Partnership’s operating performance and return on capital as compared to other companies in the midstream energy sector, without regard to financing or capital structure; and |
· | the viability of acquisitions and capital expenditure projects and the overall rates of return on alternative investment opportunities. |
Gross margin and operating margin are non-GAAP measures. The GAAP measure most directly comparable to gross margin and operating margin is net income. Gross margin and operating margin are not alternatives to GAAP net income and have important limitations as analytical tools. Investors should not consider gross margin and operating margin in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Partnership’s results as reported under GAAP. Because gross margin and operating margin exclude some, but not all, items that affect net income and are defined differently by different companies in our industry, the Partnership’s definition of gross margin and operating margin may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing their utility.
Management compensates for the limitations of gross margin and operating margin as analytical tools by reviewing the comparable GAAP measures, understanding the differences between the measures and incorporating these insights into its decision-making processes.
Adjusted EBITDA
The Partnership defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income attributable to Targa Resources Partners LP before: interest; income taxes; depreciation and amortization; gains or losses on debt repurchases and redemptions, early debt extinguishments and asset disposals; non-cash risk management activities related to derivative instruments; changes in the fair value of the Badlands acquisition contingent consideration and the non-controlling interest portion of depreciation and amortization expenses. Adjusted EBITDA is used as a supplemental financial measure by the Partnership and by external users of its financial statements such as investors, commercial banks and others. The economic substance behind the Partnership’s use of Adjusted EBITDA is to measure the ability of its assets to generate cash sufficient to pay interest costs, support its indebtedness and make distributions to its investors.
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. The GAAP measures most directly comparable to Adjusted EBITDA are net cash provided by operating activities and net income attributable to Targa Resources Partners LP. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to GAAP net cash provided by operating activities or GAAP net income. Adjusted EBITDA has important limitations as an analytical tool. Investors should not consider Adjusted EBITDA in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Partnership’s results as reported under GAAP. Because Adjusted EBITDA excludes some, but not all, items that affect net income and net cash provided by operating activities and is defined differently by different companies in the Partnership’s industry, the Partnership’s definition of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing its utility.
Management compensates for the limitations of Adjusted EBITDA as an analytical tool by reviewing the comparable GAAP measures, understanding the differences between the measures and incorporating these insights into its decision-making processes.
Distributable Cash Flow
The Partnership defines distributable cash flow as net income attributable to Targa Resources Partners LP plus depreciation and amortization, deferred taxes and amortization of debt issue costs included in interest expense, adjusted for non-cash risk management activities related to derivative instruments, debt repurchases and redemptions, early debt extinguishments and asset disposals, less maintenance capital expenditures (net of any reimbursements of project costs) and changes in the fair value of the Badlands acquisition contingent consideration. This measure includes any impact of noncontrolling interests.
Distributable cash flow is a significant performance metric used by the Partnership and by external users of the Partnership’s financial statements, such as investors, commercial banks and research analysts, to compare basic cash flows generated by the Partnership (prior to the establishment of any retained cash reserves by the board of directors of its general partner) to the cash distributions the Partnership expects to pay the Partnership’s unitholders. Using this metric, the Partnership’s management and external users of its financial statements can quickly compute the coverage ratio of estimated cash flows to cash distributions. Distributable cash flow is also an important financial measure for the Partnership’s unitholders since it serves as an indicator of the Partnership’s success in providing a cash return on investment. Specifically, this financial measure indicates to investors whether or not the Partnership is generating cash flow at a level that can sustain or support an increase in the Partnership’s quarterly distribution rates. Distributable cash flow is also a quantitative standard used throughout the investment community with respect to publicly-traded partnerships and limited liability companies because the value of a unit of such an entity is generally determined by the unit’s yield (which in turn is based on the amount of cash distributions the entity pays to a unitholder).
Distributable cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure. The GAAP measure most directly comparable to distributable cash flow is net income attributable to Targa Resources Partners LP. Distributable cash flow should not be considered as an alternative to GAAP net income attributable to Targa Resources Partners LP. It has important limitations as an analytical tool. Investors should not consider distributable cash flow in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Partnership’s results as reported under GAAP. Because distributable cash flow excludes some, but not all, items that affect net income and is defined differently by different companies in the Partnership’s industry, the Partnership’s definition of distributable cash flow may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing its utility.
Management compensates for the limitations of distributable cash flow as an analytical tool by reviewing the comparable GAAP measure, understanding the differences between the measures and incorporating these insights into its decision-making processes.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2014 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2013
Revenues, including the impact of hedging, increased due to the impact of higher commodity sales prices ($459.8 million), higher commodity volumes ($401.2 million) and higher fee-based and other revenues ($94.1 million).
Higher consolidated gross margin in 2014 was primarily driven by increased export activities and higher fractionation fees in our Logistics and Marketing segments and increased throughput volumes associated with system expansions and higher commodity sales prices in our Field Gathering and Processing segment. This significant growth in the Partnership’s asset base brought a higher level of operating expenses in 2014. See “—Results of Operations—By Reportable Segment” for additional information regarding changes in the components of gross and operating margin on a disaggregated basis.
The increase in depreciation and amortization expenses was primarily due to increased amortization of the Badlands intangible assets and higher depreciation related to the timing of major organic investments placed in service during the last twelve months, including CBF Train 4, Phase I of the international export expansion project and other system expansions.
The increase in general and administrative expenses reflected increased compensation related costs to support our expanding business operations.
The increase in interest expense primarily reflects higher borrowings ($2.3 million) partially offset by increased capitalized interest attributable to the Partnership’s major expansion projects ($0.7 million).
The increase in equity earnings in the Partnership’s investment in GCF was due to higher system product gains at the facility in 2014.
The increase in earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests is primarily due to higher Partnership earnings.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2014 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2013
The increase in gross margin was primarily due to higher commodity sales prices and increased throughput volumes despite the impact of severe cold weather. The increase in plant inlet volumes was driven by system expansions and by increased producer activity which increased available supply across our areas of operation. Operational issues affected Versado volumes. Badlands crude oil and natural gas volumes increased significantly as a result of our continuing investment to expand and improve gathering and processing capabilities.
Higher operating expenses were driven by volume growth and system expansions and included additional labor costs, ad valorem taxes and compression and system maintenance expenses.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2014 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2013
The increase in gross margin was primarily due to higher NGL sales prices and a short-term availability of higher average GPM off-system volumes at LOU. The decrease in plant inlet volumes was largely attributable to the decline in other off-system supply volumes and the impact of severe cold weather. Gross NGL production at VESCO during the first quarter 2013 was impacted by a NGL takeaway pipeline volume constraint.
Operating expenses were relatively flat.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2014 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2013
Gross margin was significantly higher due to increased LPG export activity and increased fractionation activities, despite the continued impact of third-party ethane rejection. The first quarter of 2014 also included higher reservation fees for both fractionation and LPG export activities. LPG export volumes, which benefit both the Logistics Assets and Marketing and Distribution segments, averaged 115.6 MBbl/d in the first quarter of 2014 compared to 45.8 MBbl/d for the same period last year. This increase was driven by the first phase of our international export expansion project, which was placed into service in September 2013. Higher 2014 fractionation volumes were due to the expansion of fractionation capacity, with CBF Train 4 commencing commercial operations during the third quarter of 2013. Gross margin results also include the impact of higher fuel prices which pass through to operating expenses.
The increase in operating expenses reflects the expansion of our export and fractionation facilities described above and increased power and fuel costs (which have a corresponding impact on higher fractionating and treating fee revenues). These factors were partially offset by higher system product gains.

Other contains the financial effects of the Partnership’s hedging program on operating margin as it represents the cash settlements on its derivative contracts. The primary purpose of the commodity risk management activities is to mitigate a portion of the impact of commodity prices on the Partnership’s operating cash flow. The Partnership has hedged the commodity price associated with a portion of its expected (i) natural gas equity volumes in Field Gathering and Processing Operations and (ii) NGL and condensate equity volumes predominately in Field Gathering and Processing as well as in the LOU portion of the Coastal Gathering and Processing Operations that result from their percent of proceeds or liquids processing arrangements by entering into derivative instruments. Because the Partnership is essentially forward-selling a portion of its plant equity volumes, these hedge positions will move favorably in periods of falling prices and unfavorably in periods of rising prices.
The following table provides a breakdown of the Partnership’s hedge revenue by product:

Our Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have no separate, direct operating activities apart from those conducted by the Partnership. As such, our ability to finance our operations, including payment of dividends to our common stockholders, funding capital expenditures and acquisitions, or to meet our indebtedness obligations, will depend on cash inflows from future cash distributions to us from our interests in the Partnership. The Partnership is required to distribute all available cash at the end of each quarter after establishing reserves to provide for the proper conduct of its business or to provide for future distributions. See “Part II – Other Information, Item 1A. Risk Factors.” As of March 31, 2014, our interests in the Partnership consisted of the following:
• | a 2% general partner interest, which we hold through our 100% ownership interest in the general partner of the Partnership; |
• | all of the outstanding IDRs; and |
• | 12,945,659 of the 113,494,218 outstanding common units of the Partnership, representing an 11.4% limited partnership interest. |
The anticipated cash flows from distributions made to us by the Partnership, should provide sufficient resources to fund our operations, long-term debt obligations, tax obligations and cash dividends to our shareholders for at least the next twelve months. Our future cash flows will consist of distributions to us from our interests in the Partnership, from which we intend to make quarterly cash dividends to our stockholders from available cash. Based on our anticipated levels of distributions that we expect to receive from the Partnership, cash generated from this interest should provide sufficient resources to finance our operations, long-term debt and quarterly cash dividends for at least the next twelve months.
The impact on us of changes in the Partnership’s distribution levels will vary depending on several factors, including the Partnership’s total outstanding partnership interests on the record date for the distribution, the aggregate cash distributions made by the Partnership and the interests in the Partnership owned by us. If the Partnership increases distributions to its unitholders, including us, we would expect to increase dividends to our stockholders, although the timing and amount of such increased dividends, if any, will not necessarily be comparable to the timing and amount of the increase in distributions made by the Partnership. In addition, the level of distributions we receive and of dividends we pay to our stockholders may be affected by the various risks associated with an investment in us and the underlying business of the Partnership. Please read “Part II – Other Information, Item 1A. Risk Factors” for more information about the risks that may impact your investment in us.
As of March 31, 2014, our liquidity consisted of the following:

Total liquidity | $ | 91.5 |
We have sufficient liquidity to satisfy the $57.6 million tax liability we incurred as a result of our sales of assets to the Partnership over the next 11 years.
Subsequent Event
On April 15, 2014, the Partnership announced that the board of directors of its general partner declared a quarterly distribution for the three months ended March 31, 2014 of $0.7625 per common unit, or an annual rate of $3.05 per common unit. This distribution will be paid on May 15, 2014. Based on these current distribution rates, we will receive approximate distributions in future quarters and years of:
· | $9.9 million or $39.5 million annually based on our common unit ownership in the Partnership; |
· | $31.7 million or $126.7 million annually based on our IDRs; and |
· | $2.4 million or $9.7 million annually based on our 2% general partner interests. |
We intend to pay to our stockholders, dividends equal to the cash the Partnership distributes to us based on our ownership of the Partnership, less the expenses of being a public company, other general and administrative expenses, federal income taxes, and reserves, plus any borrowings established by our board of directors.
The following table details the dividends declared and/or paid by us for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013:

The Partnership’s Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Partnership’s ability to finance its operations, including funding capital expenditures and acquisitions, meeting its indebtedness obligations, refinancing its indebtedness and meeting its collateral requirements, will depend on its ability to generate cash in the future. The Partnership’s ability to generate cash is subject to a number of factors, some of which are beyond its control. These include weather, commodity prices (particularly for natural gas and NGLs) and ongoing efforts to manage operating costs and maintenance capital expenditures, as well as general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other factors.
The Partnership’s main sources of liquidity and capital resources are internally generated cash flow from operations, borrowings under the TRP Revolver, borrowings under the Securitization Facility, the issuance of additional common units and access to debt markets. The capital markets continue to experience volatility. The Partnership’s exposure to current credit conditions includes its credit facility, cash investments and counterparty performance risks. The Partnership continually monitors its liquidity and the credit markets, as well as events and circumstances surrounding each of the lenders to the TRP Revolver and Securitization Facility.
As of March 31, 2014, the Partnership’s liquidity consisted of the following:
March 31, 2014 | ||||
(In millions) | ||||
Cash on hand | $ | 81.4 | ||
Total availability under the TRP Revolver | 1,200.0 | |||
Total availability under the Securitization Facility | 233.5 | |||
1,514.9 | ||||
Less: Outstanding borrowings under the TRP Revolver | (355.0 | ) | ||
Outstanding borrowings under the Securitization Facility | (233.5 | ) | ||
Outstanding letters of credit under the TRP Revolver | (97.2 | ) | ||
Total liquidity | $ | 829.2 |
Other potential capital resources include:
· | The Partnership’s right to request an additional $300.0 million in commitment increases under the TRP Revolver. |
· | Approximately $7.4 million in remaining capacity as of April 18, 2014 in common units pursuant to the August 2013 EDA. |
· | The Partnership ability to issue debt or equity securities pursuant to shelf registration statements, including availability under the Partnership’s July 2013 Shelf and unlimited amounts under the Partnership’s April 2013 Shelf. |
A portion of the Partnership’s capital resources may be allocated to letters of credit to satisfy certain counterparty credit requirements. While the Partnership’s credit ratings have improved over time, these letters of credit reflect its non-investment grade status, as assigned to the Partnership by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. and Standard & Poor’s Corporation. They also reflect certain counterparties’ views of its financial condition and ability to satisfy its performance obligations, as well as commodity prices and other factors.
Risk Management
The Partnership evaluates counterparty risks related to its commodity derivative contracts and trade credit. The Partnership has all of its commodity derivatives with major financial institutions or major oil companies. Should any of these financial counterparties not perform, the Partnership may not realize the benefit of some of its hedges under lower commodity prices, which could have a material adverse effect on its results of operation. The Partnership sells its natural gas, NGLs and condensate to a variety of purchasers. Non-performance by a trade creditor could result in losses.
Crude oil, NGL and natural gas prices are also volatile. In an effort to reduce the variability of the Partnership’s cash flows, the Partnership has entered into derivative instruments to hedge the commodity price associated with a portion of its expected natural gas equity volumes through 2016 and our NGL and condensate equity volumes through 2014. See “Item 3. – Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.” The current market conditions may also impact the Partnership’s ability to enter into future commodity derivative contracts.
The Partnership’s risk management position has moved from a net liability position of $4.3 million at December 31, 2013 to a net liability position of $9.6 million at March 31, 2014. Aggregate forward prices for commodities are above the fixed prices the Partnership currently expects to receive on those derivative contracts, creating this net liability position. The Partnership accounts for derivatives that mitigate commodity price risk as cash flow hedges. Changes in fair value are deferred in other comprehensive income (“OCI”) until the underlying hedged transactions settle.
Working Capital
Working capital is the amount by which current assets exceed current liabilities. On a consolidated basis at the end of any given month, accounts receivable and payable tied to commodity sales and purchases are relatively balanced with receivables from NGL customers offset by plant settlements payable to producers. The factors that typically cause overall variability in the Partnership’s reported total working capital are: (1) the Partnership’s cash position; (2) liquids inventory levels and valuation, which the Partnership closely manages; (3) changes in the fair value of the current portion of derivative contracts; and (4) major structural changes in the Partnership’s asset base or business operations, such as acquisitions or divestitures and certain organic growth projects.
The Partnership’s working capital decreased $61.5 million, primarily attributable to lower product inventory due to unusually high propane demand and seasonal product sales, which we supplied in part from the Gulf Coast region, and to an overall decline in NGL prices. Other working capital movement factors were largely offsetting: decreased export-related net receivables attributable to lower quarter-end NGL prices and higher gas plant producer settlement payables due to higher natural gas prices, offset by higher cash balances and lower affiliate payables related to the timing of the Partnership’s reimbursements to us.
The non-Partnership working capital decreased $13.8 million during this quarter, primarily due to higher income taxes payable partially offset by higher affiliate receivables.
Based on the Partnership’s anticipated levels of operations and absent any disruptive events, we believe that the Partnership’s internally generated cash flow, borrowings available under the TRP Revolver and the Securitization Facility and proceeds from equity offerings and debt offerings should provide sufficient resources to finance its operations, capital expenditures, long-term debt obligations, collateral requirements and minimum quarterly cash distributions for at least the next twelve months.

Cash Flow from Operating Activities
The Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows included in the historical consolidated financial statements employs the traditional indirect method of presenting cash flows from operating activities. Under the indirect method, net cash provided by operating activities is derived by adjusting the net income for non-cash items related to operating activities. An alternative GAAP presentation employs the direct method in which the actual cash receipts and outlays comprising cash flow are presented.
The following table displays the Partnership versus Non-Partnership’s operating cash flows using the direct method as a supplement to the presentation in the consolidated financial statements:

The decrease in net cash provided by financing activities was primarily due to an increase in net payments under the Securitization Facility ($157.6 million) and an increase in distributions to owners ($24.9 million), offset by lower net payments under the TRP Revolver of $15.0 million and the issuance of common units under the August 2013 EDA program.
The Partnership’s primary financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 are summarized in the following tables.

Cash Flow Financing Activities - Non-Partnership
Financing activities provided a net source of cash compared to a use in three months ended March 31, 2014 primarily due to an increase in distributions received of $10.7 million, partially offset by an increase in dividends paid of $6.5 million and an increase in net payments under the TRC Revolver of $2.0 million.

Capital Requirements
The Partnership���s capital requirements relate to capital expenditures, which are classified as expansion expenditures, maintenance expenditures or business acquisitions. Expansion capital expenditures improve the service capability of the existing assets, extend asset useful lives, increase capacities from existing levels, add capabilities, reduce costs or enhance revenues, and fund acquisitions of businesses or assets. Maintenance capital expenditures are those expenditures that are necessary to maintain the service capability of the Partnership’s existing assets, including the replacement of system components and equipment, which are worn, obsolete or completing their useful life, and expenditures to remain in compliance with environmental laws and regulations.

The Partnership estimates that its total growth capital expenditures for 2014 will be approximately $700 million on a gross basis, and maintenance capital expenditures net to its interest will be approximately $90 million. Given the Partnership’s objective of growth through expansions of existing assets, other internal growth projects, and acquisitions, it anticipates that over time that it will invest significant amounts of capital to grow and acquire assets. Future expansion capital expenditures may vary significantly based on investment opportunities. The Partnership expects to fund future capital expenditures with funds generated from its operations, borrowings under the TRP Revolver and the Securitization Facility and proceeds from issuances of additional equity and debt securities.
