Exhibit No. 99.1
SemGroup Corporation Reports Third Quarter 2010 Results
Tulsa, OK—November 30, 2010 – SemGroup® Corporation (NYSE: SEMG) today announced its unaudited financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010.
For the third quarter of 2010, revenue was $385.3 million and the net loss attributable to SemGroup was $15.4 million, or ($0.37) per diluted share, compared to revenue of $235.1 million and a net loss of $34.9 million for the third quarter of 2009. For the first nine months of 2010, revenue was $1,177.2 million with a net loss of $127.4 million, or ($3.08) per diluted share, compared to revenue of $725.9 million and a net loss of $154.2 million for the first nine months of 2009. A number of factors affect the comparability of financial results between the two years, including the deconsolidation of the Canadian subsidiaries during most of 2009, the sale or shutdown of various subsidiaries and the implementation of fresh start reporting in late 2009.
“SemGroup continues to make positive progress towards rebuilding and moving forward as a growing publicly traded company,” said Norman Szydlowski, President and Chief Executive Officer.
SemGroup successfully completed the listing process on the New York Stock Exchange and transitioned the trading of its shares from the over-the-counter market to the NYSE. In addition, the company continues to make progress on its expansion opportunities including the construction of new storage facilities in Cushing, Oklahoma, and the completion of a natural gas liquids terminal in Winslow, Arizona. SemGroup previously announced the sale of a partial interest in its White Cliffs Pipeline subsidiary during the third quarter of 2010.
SemGroup reported adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”) of $37.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010, compared with a reported Adjusted EBITDA of $26.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009. For the first nine months of 2010, Adjusted EBITDA was $109.0 million, compared to $78.4 million for the first nine months of 2009. (See the section of the release entitled “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for a discussion on Adjusted EBITDA and a reconciliation of this measure to net loss attributable to SemGroup.)

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted EBITDA is presented in this release for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009. Adjusted EBITDA is not a generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) measure and is not intended to be used in lieu of a GAAP presentation of net income/loss. Adjusted EBITDA is presented in this release because SemGroup believes it provides additional information with respect to its financial performance and its ability to meet future debt service, capital expenditures and working capital requirements. Adjusted EBITDA represents earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, adjusted for selected items that SemGroup believes impact the comparability of financial results between reporting periods. Although SemGroup presents selected items that it considers in evaluating its performance, you should also be aware that the items presented do not represent all items that affect comparability between the periods presented. Variations in SemGroup’s operating results are also caused by changes in volumes, prices, exchange rates, mechanical interruptions and numerous other factors. These types of variances are not separately identified in this release. Because all companies do not use identical calculations, SemGroup’s presentation of Adjusted EBITDA may be different from similarly titled measures of other companies.
A reconciliation of net loss to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for the periods presented is included in the tables attached to this release.
