SemGroup Reports Fourth Quarter and Year End 2011 Results
SemGroup Returns to Profitability for the Year
Full-Year Adjusted EBITDA of $116.1 Million
Tulsa, OK - February 29, 2012 -SemGroup® Corporation (NYSE: SEMG) (“SemGroup”) today announced its financial results for the three and 12 months ended December 31, 2011.
For the quarter ended December 31, 2011, SemGroup reported revenues of $334.9 million with a net income attributable to SemGroup of $0.3 million, or $0.01 per share, compared to revenue of $453.1 million with a net loss attributable to SemGroup of $4.9 million, or a loss of $0.12 per share for the quarter ended December 31, 2010. For the 12 months ended December 31, 2011, SemGroup reported revenues of $1.5 billion with a net income attributable to SemGroup of $2.4 million, or $0.06 per share, compared to revenue of $1.6 billion with a net loss attributable to SemGroup of $132.3 million, or a loss of $3.20 per share, for the 12 months ended December 31, 2010.
SemGroup’s adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("Adjusted EBITDA") was $31.8 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2011, compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $43.8 million for the same quarter in 2010. On a quarter-over-quarter basis the current period was negatively affected by the absence of SemStream®, L.P. earnings and lower performance by SemLogistics. Adjusted EBITDA for the 12 months ended December 31, 2011, totaled $116.1 million, compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $152.8 million, or $138.2 million when normalized for SemGroup’s 51% ownership of White Cliffs Pipeline® for the 12 months ended December 31, 2010.
“We are excited about SemGroup’s return to profitability for the year and what that means for our stakeholders and our future,” said Norm Szydlowski, president and chief executive officer of SemGroup. “During the fourth quarter we made significant progress towards our strategy to capitalize on growth opportunities, while improving the stability of SemGroup's cash flows and reducing earnings volatility. The contribution of the SemStream assets to NGL Energy Partners LP in November, the initial public offering of Rose Rock Midstream, L.P., in December and the completion of our initial gas processing expansion in the Mississippi Zone represent important strategic accomplishments. SemGroup’s balance sheet is strong and our volumes are trending up as we continue to build out our footprint in key growth plays.”
SemGroup reported operating income of $9.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2011, compared to an operating income of $14.2 million for the same period last year. During the quarter SemGroup reported a $44.3 million gain on the contribution of SemStream assets to NGL Energy Partners, offset by a $53.4 million non-cash impairment of goodwill and intangibles related to SemLogistics and SemStream Arizona. In the fourth quarter of 2010, SemGroup reported an $8.9 million non-cash impairment of goodwill related to SemMaterials Mexico. Operating income for the 12 months ended December 31, 2011, was $45.6 million, compared to an operating loss of $50.3 million for the same period last year. During 2010, SemGroup reported an impairment of $91.8 million related to the goodwill of SemCanada Crude.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
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. Reconciliations of net income (loss) and to Adjusted EBITDA for the periods presented are included in the tables at the end of this release.
