FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

Investors are cautioned that certain statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as well as in periodic press releases and oral statements made by our management team during our presentations are “forward-looking” statements. Forward-looking statements include, without limitation, any statement that may project, indicate or imply future results, events, performance or achievements, and may contain the words “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “believe,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result,” and similar expressions, or future conditional verbs such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “would,” and “could.” In addition, any statement concerning future financial performance (including future revenues, earnings or growth rates), ongoing business strategies or prospects, and possible actions taken by us or our subsidiaries, are also forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements involve external risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, those described under the section entitled “Risk Factors” included herein and in our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and projections about future events and are inherently subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the control of our management team. All forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us, or to persons acting on our behalf, are expressly qualified in their entirety by these risks and uncertainties. These risks and uncertainties include, among others:

· the volatility of natural gas, crude oil and NGL prices and the price and demand of products derived from these commodities;

· competitive conditions in our industry and the extent and success of producers replacing declining production and our success in obtaining new sources of supply;

· industry conditions and supply of pipelines, processing and fractionation capacity relative to available natural gas from producers;

· our dependence upon a relatively limited number of customers for a significant portion of our revenues;

· actions taken or inactions or non-performance by third parties, including suppliers, contractors, operators, processors, transporters and customers;

· our ability to effectively recover NGLs at a rate equal to or greater than our contracted rates with customers;

· our ability to produce and market NGLs at the anticipated differential to NGL index pricing;

· our access to markets enabling us to match pricing indices for purchases and sales of natural gas and NGLs;

· our ability to complete projects within budget and on schedule, including but not limited to, timely receipt of necessary government approvals and permits, our ability to control the costs of construction and other factors that may impact projects;

· our ability to consummate acquisitions, integrate the acquired businesses successfully, realize anticipated cost savings and other synergies from any such acquisitions;

· our ability to manage over time changing exposure to commodity price risk;

· the effectiveness of our hedging activities or our decisions not to undertake hedging activities;

· our access to financing and ability to remain in compliance with our financing covenants;

· our ability to generate sufficient operating cash flow to fund our minimum quarterly distribution;

· changes in general economic conditions;

· the effects of downtime associated with our assets or the assets of third parties interconnected with our systems;

· operating hazards, fires, natural disasters, weather-related delays, casualty losses and other matters beyond our control;

· the failure of our processing plants to perform as expected, including outages for unscheduled maintenance or repair;

· the effects of laws and governmental regulations and policies;

· the effects of existing and future litigation; and

· other financial, operational and legal risks and uncertainties detailed from time to time in our filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Developments in any of these areas could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated or projected; or affect our ability to maintain distribution levels; or access necessary financial markets, or cause a significant reduction in the market price of our common units.

The foregoing list of risks and uncertainties may not contain all of the risks and uncertainties that could affect us. In addition, in light of these risks and uncertainties, the matters referred to in the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may not, in fact, occur. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed on these statements. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as otherwise required by law.

SOUTHCROSS ENERGY PARTNERS, L.P. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

1. ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Organization

Southcross Energy Partners, L.P. (the “Partnership,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) is a Delaware limited partnership formed in April 2012 to own, operate, develop and acquire midstream energy assets. Our common units are listed on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the symbol “SXE.”

Southcross Energy LLC was formed in 2009 and is our predecessor. In connection with our initial public offering (“IPO”), Southcross Energy LLC contributed all of its operating subsidiaries (its net assets on a historical cost basis), excluding certain liabilities and all preferred units, and became our holding company. Southcross Energy LLC holds all of the equity interests in Southcross Energy Partners GP, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and our general partner (“General Partner”), all of our subordinated units, 215,000 Series A Convertible Preferred Units (“Series A Preferred Units”) issued during the second quarter of 2013 (See Note 11), and common units equal to 7.0% of the total units outstanding. Southcross Energy LLC is controlled through investment funds and entities associated with Charlesbank Capital Partners, LLC (“Charlesbank”). There was no change in the basis of accounting as a result of the IPO and the contributed net assets of Southcross Energy LLC.

On November 7, 2012, we completed our IPO. After the completion of the IPO and full exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional common units, Southcross Energy LLC’s direct and indirect equity ownership in us was 58.5%. After the Series A Preferred Units issuance during the second quarter of 2013 and Southcross Energy LLC’s subsequent sale of a portion of those units, Southcross Energy LLC’s direct and indirect equity ownership in us was 55.6%. These condensed consolidated financial statements reflect our assets, liabilities, results of operations and cash flows beginning November 7, 2012 and those of Southcross Energy LLC for the periods ended before November 7, 2012.

See our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K for more information related to our organization.

Description of Business

We are a midstream natural gas company with operations in South Texas, Mississippi and Alabama. We operate as one reportable segment and provide, through our subsidiaries, natural gas gathering, processing, treating, compression and transportation services and NGLs fractionation and transportation services. We also source, purchase, transport and sell natural gas and NGLs. Our network of pipelines connects supplies of natural gas to our customers, which include industrial, commercial and power generation customers and local distribution companies.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

We prepared this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “report”) under the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial statements. Accordingly, these condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the disclosures required by GAAP and should be read with our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2013, and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, are unaudited. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the preparation of the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

In management’s opinion, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals necessary for the fair presentation of the results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012. Information for interim periods may not be indicative of our operating results for the entire year.

The disclosures included in this report provide an update to our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The preparation of interim condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make various estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Table of Contents

We evaluate events that occur after the balance sheet date, but before the financial statements are issued, for potential recognition or disclosure. Based on the evaluation, we determined that there were no material subsequent events for recognition or disclosure other than those disclosed herein.

Significant Accounting Policies

There were no material changes to our significant accounting policies described in Note 2 of our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting standard-setting organizations frequently issue new or revised accounting rules. We regularly review new pronouncements to determine their impact, if any, on our consolidated financial statements and currently there are no new accounting pronouncements that would have a material impact.

3. NET LOSS PER LIMITED PARTNER UNIT AND DISTRIBUTIONS

Earnings Per Limited Partner Unit

The following is a reconciliation of net loss attributable to limited partners and the limited partner units used in the basic and diluted earnings per unit calculations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 (in thousands, except unit and per unit data):

	Three Months Ended			Six Months Ended
	June 30, 2013			June 30, 2013
Net loss	$	(6,192	)	$	(12,574	)
Series A preferred unit distribution	(560		)	(560		)
Series A preferred unit valuation adjustment to maximum value	(4,666		)	(4,666		)
Net loss attributable to partners	$	(11,418	)	$	(17,800	)

General partner’s interest	$	(124	)	$	(252	)
Limited partners’ interest:
Common (1)	$	(7,981	)	$	(11,108	)
Subordinated	$	(3,313	)	$	(6,440	)

Three Months Ended June 30, 2013	Common			Subordinated
Interest in net loss	$	(7,981	)	$	(3,313	)

Weighted-average units - basic	12,223			12,214
Effect of dilutive units (2)	—			—
Weighted-average units - dilutive	12,223			12,214

Basic earnings per unit:
Net loss per unit	$	(0.65	)	$	(0.27	)

Dilutive earnings per unit:
Net loss per unit	$	(0.65	)	$	(0.27	)

Six Months Ended June 30, 2013	Common			Subordinated
Interest in net loss	$	(11,108	)	$	(6,440	)

Weighted-average units - basic	12,218			12,214
Effect of dilutive units (2)	—			—
Weighted-average units - dilutive	12,218			12,214

Basic earnings per unit:
Net loss per unit	$	(0.91	)	$	(0.53	)

Dilutive earnings per unit:
Net loss per unit	$	(0.91	)	$	(0.53	)

(1) The valuation adjustment to maximum redemption value of the Series A Preferred Units as of June 30, 2013 reduced the income available to common units in the calculation of earnings per unit (See Note 11).

(2) The effect of the dilutive units would be anti-dilutive to the per unit calculation because we had a net loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013. Therefore, the weighted average units outstanding are the same for basic and dilutive net loss per common unit. The weighted average units that were not included in the computation of diluted per unit amounts were 161,400 unvested units (See Note 13) and 1,398,667 Series A Preferred Units (See Note 11) for the three months ended June 30, 2013, and 148,506 unvested units and 703,197 Series A Preferred Units for the six months ended June 30, 2013.

Table of Contents

Distributions

Our Second Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership (“Partnership Agreement”) requires that, within 45 days after the end of each quarter we distribute all of our available cash to unitholders of record (other than holders of Series A Preferred Units) on the applicable record date, as determined by our General Partner. Currently, the Partnership Agreement restricts distributions to our unitholders to our established minimum quarterly distribution of $0.40 per unit until the Target Leverage Ratio (see Note 5) has been met.

Series A Preferred Units

During the second quarter of 2013, we raised $40.0 million of equity through issuances of 1,715,000 Series A Preferred Units and an additional General Partner contribution to satisfy the requirements of the second amendment to our $350.0 million senior secured credit facility with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and a syndicate of lenders (“Credit Facility”) (See Note 5 and Note 11). Under the terms of our Partnership Agreement, we are required to pay the holders of our Series A Preferred Units quarterly distributions of in-kind Series A Preferred Units for the first four full quarters following the issuance of the units and continuing thereafter until we have given notice under the Credit Facility that we have achieved the Target Leverage Ratio (See Note 5) and after the board of directors of our General Partner determines to begin paying quarterly distributions in cash. In-kind distributions will be in the form of Series A Preferred Units at a rate of $0.40 per outstanding Series A Preferred Unit per quarter (or 7% per year of the per unit purchase price) or, beginning after four full quarters, such higher per unit rate as is paid in respect to our common units. Cash distributions will equal the greater of $0.40 per unit per quarter or the quarterly distribution paid with respect to each common unit. For the three and six months June 30, 2013, the preferred paid in-kind (“PIK”) distribution is combined with the net loss to determine the net loss attributable to general and limited partner interest. The valuation adjustment to maximum redemption value of Series A Preferred Units as of June 30, 2013 reduced the net income available only to common units in the calculation of earnings per unit. Because we have net losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, the inclusion of the Series A Preferred Units in the calculation of diluted earnings per unit would be anti-dilutive.

The Series A Preferred Units are considered participating securities for purposes of the basic earnings per unit calculation during periods in which they receive cash distributions. As we are required to pay in-kind distributions for the first four full quarters and continuing until the Target Leverage Option (See Note 5) has been achieved, the Series A Preferred Units have been excluded from the basic earnings per unit calculation for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013.

The following table represents the PIK distribution earned for the period ended June 30, 2013 (in thousands, except per unit and in-kind distribution data):

					In-Kind Series A
					Preferred
					Distributions	In-Kind Unit
	Attributable to the	Per Unit			to Series A	Distribution to

August 14, 2013	June 30, 2013	$	0.20	(2)	2,199	45	$	51

(1) Per unit distribution of $0.35 corresponds to the minimum quarterly distribution of $0.40 per unit, or $1.60 on an annualized basis, pro-rated for the portion of the quarter following the issuance of 1,466,325 Series A Preferred Units and 29,925 general partner units on April 12, 2013.

(2) Per unit distribution of $0.20 corresponds to the minimum quarterly distribution of $0.40 per unit, or $1.60 on an annualized basis, pro-rated for the portion of the quarter following the issuance of 248,675 Series A Preferred Units and 5,075 general partner units on May 15, 2013.

(3) The value was calculated based on the Series A Preferred Units issue price of $22.86 as stated in the Partnership Agreement, multiplied by the number of units distributed.

Earnings Per Common Unit of Southcross Energy LLC

The following is a reconciliation of net income per common unit used in the basic and diluted earnings per unit calculations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2012 (in thousands, except unit and per unit data):

	Three Months Ended			Six Months Ended
	June 30, 2012			June 30, 2012
Net loss attributable to Southcross Energy LLC common unitholders	$	(4,329	)	$	(2,773	)

Weighted-average common units outstanding - basic	1,210			1,215
Effect of unvested common units	132			185
Weighted-average common units outstanding-diluted	1,342			1,400

Basic earnings per common unit:
Net loss per common unit	$	(3.58	)	$	(2.28	)

Diluted earnings per common unit:
Net loss per common unit	$	(3.58	)	$	(2.28	)

Southcross Energy LLC calculated earnings per common unit by first deducting the amount of cumulative returns on both the redeemable preferred and preferred units from net income (loss), and dividing this amount by the weighted average number of vested common units (including both the vested Class A common units and Class B units). The weighted average number of unvested units that would be included in the computation of diluted earnings per unit was 132,383 and 184,896 units for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively. Because we had a net loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, the unvested units would be anti-dilutive. Therefore, the weighted average units outstanding are the same for basic and diluted net loss per common unit.

4. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Cash and Cash Equivalents, Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable

As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable represent fair values based on the short-term nature of these instruments.

Credit Facility

The fair value of the debt funded through our Credit Facility executed in 2012 approximates its carrying amount as of June 30, 2013 due primarily to the variable nature of the interest rate of the instrument and given the limited changes in the interest rate environment since its origination on November 7, 2012, which is considered a Level 2 fair value measurement.

Derivatives

Interest Rate Swaps

We manage a portion of our interest rate risk through interest rate swaps. In March 2012, we terminated an interest rate cap contract and entered into an interest rate swap contract with Wells Fargo, N.A. The interest rate swap has a notional value of $150.0 million, and a maturity date of June 30, 2014. We receive a floating rate based upon one-month LIBOR and pay a fixed rate under the interest rate swap of 0.54%. As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the current portion of the interest rate swap liability of $0.4 million and $0.3 million, respectively, was included within other current liabilities. As of December 31, 2012, the non-current portion of the interest rate swap liability of $0.3 million was included within other non-current liabilities. As of June 30, 2013, there was no non-current portion of the interest rate swap liability.

The fair value of the interest rate swap liabilities were as follows (in thousands):

	Fair value measurement as of
	June 30, 2013		December 31, 2012
	Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)
Interest rate swap liabilities	$	421	$	638

The interest rate swap is designated as a cash flow hedge for accounting purposes and, thus, to the extent the cash flow hedge is effective, unrealized gains and losses are recorded to accumulated other comprehensive gain/(loss) and recognized in interest expense as the underlying hedged transactions (interest payments) are recorded. Any hedge ineffectiveness is recognized in interest expense immediately. We did not have any hedge ineffectiveness during the period ended June 30, 2013.

The effect of the interest rate swap designated as a cash flow hedge in our statements of changes in partners’ capital and members’ equity and comprehensive income/(loss) were as follows (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended June 30,					Six Months Ended June 30,
	2013		2012			2013			2012
Change in value recognized in other comprehensive income/(loss)-effective portion	$	40	$	(349	)	$	(30	)	$	(349	)
Loss reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss to interest expense	$	100	$	85		$	194		$	85

Based on current interest rates, we estimate that approximately $0.4 million of hedging losses related to the interest rate swap contract will be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss) into results of operations within the next 12 months.

On an ongoing basis, a derivative instrument designated as a cash flow hedge must be highly effective in offsetting changes in cash flows of the hedged item. If it is determined that the derivative instrument is not highly effective as a hedge, hedge accounting will be discontinued prospectively. Changes in fair value of the associated hedging instrument are then recognized immediately in earnings for the remainder of the contract term unless a new hedging relationship is designated. The assessment of effectiveness excludes counterparty default risk and our own non-performance risk. The effect of these valuation adjustments was immaterial for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

If it becomes probable that a forecasted transaction will not occur, hedge accounting will be discontinued and the related deferred gains or losses are recognized in our results of operations immediately. There were no amounts of gains or losses reclassified into

Table of Contents

earnings as a result of the discontinuance of cash flow hedges because it was probable that the original forecasted transaction (future interest payments) would not occur by the end of the originally specified time period.

The amounts recognized in interest expense associated with derivatives that are not designated as hedging instruments were as follows (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2013		2012		2013		2012
Unrealized loss on interest rate cap	$	—	$	—	$	—	$	222
Realized loss on interest rate cap	$	27	$	—	$	54	$	—

Commodity Swaps

In our normal course of business, periodically we enter into month-ahead swap contracts to hedge our exposure to certain intra-month natural gas index pricing risk. The total volume of outstanding month ahead swap contracts as of June 30, 2013 was 12,000 MMBtu. We had no outstanding month-ahead swap contracts as of December 31, 2012. We define the contracts as Level 2 because the index price associated with such contracts is observable and tied to a similarly quoted first-of-the-month natural gas index price. The fair value of such contracts was immaterial as of June 30, 2013.

The realized losses on these derivatives, recognized in revenues in our statements of operations, were as follows (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,
	2013			2012			2013			2012

5. LONG-TERM DEBT

Credit Facility

In connection with the closing of the IPO, we entered into the Credit Facility and utilized it to fund fees and expenses incurred in connection with the IPO and for the repayment of a portion of Southcross Energy LLC’s debt under its amended and restated credit agreement.

We may utilize the Credit Facility for working capital requirements and capital expenditures, the purchase of assets, the payment of distributions, the repurchase of units and other general purposes within limitations established by the Second Amendment (as defined and described below). The Credit Facility matures on November 7, 2017, the fifth anniversary of the IPO closing date.

Amended Credit Facility

On March 27, 2013, we entered into the first amendment (the “First Amendment”) to the Credit Facility. As a result of the First Amendment our available credit was reduced from $350.0 million to the sum of $250.0 million plus any amounts placed on deposit in a collateral account of our General Partner (the “Collateral Account”) and letters of credit outstanding. Amounts on deposit in the Collateral Account are pledged as collateral to the Credit Facility. Pursuant to the First Amendment, we were allowed to pay our quarterly cash distribution of available cash for the first quarter 2013 in an amount not to exceed the amount on deposit in the Collateral Account regardless of whether we met certain financial covenants for the period ending March 31, 2013. Because the First Amendment did not modify our requirement to meet the financial covenants under the Credit Facility beginning March 31, 2013, and because we believed it was unlikely that we would be in compliance with our financial covenants for the quarter ending March 31, 2013, we further amended our Credit Facility as discussed below. We incurred $0.6 million in fees in connection with the First Amendment, which have been deferred, and are being amortized over the remaining life of the Credit Facility.

On April 12, 2013, we entered into the limited waiver and second amendment (the “Second Amendment”) to the Credit Facility (as amended by the First Amendment and the Second Amendment, the “Amended Credit Facility”), which waived our defaults relating to financial covenants in the Credit Facility for the period ending March 31, 2013 and provided more favorable financial covenants until we give notice under the Amended Credit Facility that we have achieved a consolidated total leverage ratio (the “Target Leverage Ratio”) of 4.25 to 1.00 for one quarter or 4.50 to 1.00 for two consecutive quarters, calculated excluding the benefit of cash on deposit in the Collateral Account and any equity cure amounts (the “Target Leverage Test”). The Target Leverage Test is

Table of Contents

not a required calculation under the Second Amendment, and can be calculated and elected at our option (the “Target Leverage Option”). For any calendar quarter ending on or before December 31, 2013, we have the right (which cannot be exercised more than two times) to cure defaults under our financial covenants by having our General Partner and/or Southcross Energy LLC place additional funds into the Collateral Account (such funds being the equity cure). Our available credit, excluding our letters of credit, continues to be subject to the availability limits described in the First Amendment. We incurred $1.4 million in fees in connection with the Second Amendment which have been deferred and are being amortized over the remaining life of the Credit Facility.

As a condition to the Second Amendment, Southcross Energy LLC and our General Partner deposited into the Collateral Account $34.2 million, including the $10.0 million previously deposited under the First Amendment. The $34.2 million was then utilized to purchase Series A Preferred Units as described below. Additionally, Southcross Energy LLC and our General Partner agreed to deposit into the Collateral Account proceeds received from cash distributions on our common and subordinated units that they own and that are attributable to each calendar quarter in 2013. On May 15, 2013, Southcross Energy LLC and our General Partner deposited their first quarter cash distribution of $5.8 million into the Collateral Account.

The Second Amendment provides for, among other things, the following:

· an increase in our letters of credit sublimit from $31.5 million to $50.0 million; and

· until we achieve the Target Leverage Ratio:

· an increase in our interest rate to be LIBOR plus 4.50% (after achieving the Target Leverage Ratio our interest rate reverts to the original pricing grid of not more than LIBOR plus 3.25%);

· a limit to our growth capital expenditures of $25.0 million for the remaining three quarters of 2013 and an additional $25.0 million for the subsequent 18-months ending June 30, 2015 (provided that if additional cash, as required under the Second Amendment, is placed in the Collateral Account, such expenditures may be increased to $28.0 million for the remaining three quarters of 2013 and the subsequent 18-months ending June 30, 2015);

· distributions to our unitholders are effectively limited to our established minimum quarterly distribution of $0.40 per unit; and

· our ability to make acquisitions is limited.

Pursuant to the Second Amendment, during the second quarter of 2013, Southcross Energy LLC and our General Partner made an equity investment in us in an aggregate amount equal to $40.0 million in exchange for 1,715,000 Series A Preferred Units, which distributions on such securities are required to be non-cash pay until the Target Leverage Test has been satisfied, and 35,000 General Partner units. Our total capital infusion of $40.0 million from all sales of Series A Preferred Units and General Partner contributions (See Note 11), was used to reduce borrowings under our Amended Credit Facility.

If we fail to comply with the financial covenants of the Amended Credit Facility for the calendar quarters ending on or before December 31, 2013, we have the right (which cannot be exercised more than two times) to cure the failure to comply by having Southcross Energy LLC and/or our General Partner deposit into the Collateral Account the amount required by the Second Amendment.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2013, the Second Amendment requires us to have Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Facility) of at least $9.0 million and we are not subject to a consolidated total leverage ratio for such quarter. As a result of our not meeting the Consolidated EBITDA covenant for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 we utilized our right to cure and Southcross Energy LLC deposited approximately $2.8 million into the Collateral Account on August 6, 2013 which was in advance of the date required under the Second Amendment. For the remaining two quarters of 2013, we have one additional right to cure.

Table of Contents

The Second Amendment provides that until we satisfy the Target Leverage Ratio, we are allowed to calculate an Adjusted Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio (as provided in the Second Amendment), which allows for the netting of total funded indebtedness with amounts on deposit in the Collateral Account, and we may not permit our Adjusted Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio to exceed the ratio set forth below for the corresponding period:

		Maximum Adjusted Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio
September 30, 2013		7.25 to 1.00
December 31, 2013		6.75 to 1.00
March 31, 2014		6.25 to 1.00
June 30, 2014		5.25 to 1.00
September 30, 2014		5.00 to 1.00
December 31, 2014		4.75 to 1.00
March 31, 2015 and thereafter		4.50 to 1.00

If we fail to meet the Target Leverage Test by June 30, 2014, all or a portion of the cash distributions we make to Southcross Energy LLC and our General Partner for the quarters ending June 30, 2013, September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2013 will be invested in us as additional non-cash pay equity securities until the Target Leverage Test has been satisfied. If, as of June 30, 2014, the Target Leverage Test is met, any funds then on deposit in the Collateral Account (other than equity cure amounts and amounts deposited in the Collateral Account to allow us to increase the amount of our capital expenditures) will be released to Southcross Energy LLC and our General Partner.

Upon satisfying the Target Leverage Ratio, beginning with the quarter ending September 30, 2013, the Second Amendment provides that we will not permit our maximum consolidated total leverage ratio to exceed the ratio set forth below for the corresponding period (as provided in the Amended Credit Facility):

		Maximum Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio
September 30, 2013		4.75 to 1.00
December 31, 2013 and thereafter		4.50 to 1.00

The Second Amendment changed the minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio to 2.25 to 1.00 for the quarters ending September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2013 and 2.50 to 1.00 for the quarters ending March 31, 2014 and thereafter.

Borrowings under the Amended Credit Facility bear interest at LIBOR plus an applicable margin or a base rate as defined in the respective credit agreements. Under the terms of the Credit Facility, the applicable margin under LIBOR borrowings was 4.5% at June 30, 2013. The weighted-average interest rate for the three and six months ending June 30, 2013 was 4.61% and 4.06%, respectively.

Our borrowings under the Amended Credit Facility were $236.5 million as of June 30, 2013, and our remaining available capacity under the Amended Credit Facility was $13.5 million as of June 30, 2013. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, our average outstanding borrowings were $235.2 million and $231.2 million, respectively, and our maximum outstanding borrowings were $257.0 million for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2013.

Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method based on the estimated useful life of each asset. Depreciation expense for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 was $8.2 million and $3.7 million, respectively. Depreciation expense for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 was $15.5 million and $7.3 million, respectively.

Costs related to projects during construction, including interest on funds borrowed to finance the construction of facilities, are capitalized as construction in progress. For the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, we capitalized interest of $0.4 million and $1.2 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, we capitalized interest of $1.0 million and $2.3 million, respectively.

In January 2013, we shut down our Gregory facility to perform extensive turnaround maintenance activities and to connect additional equipment to enhance NGL recoveries. As the turnaround maintenance was nearing completion in January 2013, we experienced a fire at this facility. In connection with the fire, we spent approximately $3.9 million to return the plant to service and filed an insurance claim related to these costs. We recovered $1.0 million from insurance during the second quarter and believe it is probable that we will recover the remaining costs, less a $0.3 million deductible, under our current insurance policies.

8. ACCOUNTS PAYABLE AND ACCRUED LIABILITIES

Trade accounts payable as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 included $11.4 million and $40.7 million, respectively, related to capital expenditures and such amounts have been reflected as non-cash investing activities within the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

During the period ended June 30, 2013, an asset retirement obligation was recorded when we determined we could reasonably estimate the settlement date and amount of the expense that will be incurred based on new information. We recorded an asset retirement obligation of $0.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 related to the discontinued use of assets, which is included in operations and maintenance expense on our consolidated statements of operations.

9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Legal Matters

On March 5, 2013, our subsidiary filed suit against Formosa Hydrocarbons Company, Inc. (“Formosa”). The lawsuit seeks recoveries of losses that we believe our subsidiary experienced as a result of the failure of Formosa to perform certain of its obligations under the gas processing contract between the parties. Formosa has filed a response generally denying our claims. We cannot predict the outcome of such litigation or the timing of any related recoveries.

From time to time, we are party to certain legal or administrative proceedings that arise in the ordinary course and are incidental to our business. There currently are no such pending proceedings to which we are a party that our management believes will have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition. However, future events or circumstances, currently unknown to management, will determine whether the resolution of any litigation or claims ultimately will have a material effect on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition in any future reporting periods. As of June 30, 2013, we did not have any amounts accrued for our legal proceedings.

Regulatory Compliance

In the ordinary course of our business, we are subject to various laws and regulations. In the opinion of our management, compliance with current laws and regulations will not have a material effect on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

Capital Leases

We have auto leases classified as capital leases that are recorded in other current liabilities and other non-current liabilities in our consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2013. The terms of the agreements vary from 2013 until 2017. We recorded amortization expense related to the capital leases of $0.1 million and $0.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively. We had no capital leases during 2012.

Fiscal Year	Capital Leases

Purchase Commitments

At June 30, 2013, we had commitments of approximately $2.6 million to purchase equipment related to our capital projects.

10. TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES

Charlesbank

Before our IPO, Charlesbank provided certain management services to Southcross Energy LLC pursuant to a management services agreement (“Charlesbank Agreement”) that specified an annual management fee of $0.6 million. Southcross Energy LLC received services under the Charlesbank Agreement until the IPO. Concurrently with the IPO, the Charlesbank Agreement was terminated and we did not incur management fees thereafter. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 we did not incur management fees due to the termination of the Charlesbank Agreement at the IPO date. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, Southcross Energy LLC incurred management fees of $0.2 and $0.3 million, respectively, for services received under the Charlesbank Agreement.

Southcross Energy Partners GP, LLC (our General Partner)

Our General Partner does not receive a management fee or other compensation for its management of us. However, our General Partner and its affiliates are entitled to reimbursements for all expenses incurred on our behalf, including, among other items, compensation expense for all employees required to manage and operate our business. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, we incurred expenses of $6.2 million and $12.1 million, respectively, related to these reimbursements which were reflected in operating expenses in our consolidated statements of operations.

The reimbursement of our compensation expenses to our General Partner began on January 1, 2013 in accordance with our Partnership Agreement.

During the second quarter of 2013, to satisfy our requirements under our Amended Credit Facility, we entered into the Purchase Agreement (as defined below) with Southcross Energy LLC, pursuant to which we issued and sold 1,715,000 Series A Preferred Units to Southcross Energy LLC for a cash purchase price of $22.86 per Series A Preferred Unit, in a privately negotiated transaction (See Note 11). At June 30, 2013, Southcross Energy LLC held 215,000 Series A Preferred Units. See Note 5 for discussion of the Cash Collateral account held by our General Partner.

11. SERIES A PREFERRED UNITS

We entered into a Series A Convertible Preferred Unit Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Southcross Energy LLC, pursuant to which we issued and sold 1,715,000 Series A Preferred Units to Southcross Energy LLC during the second quarter of 2013. Series A Preferred Units were sold to Southcross Energy LLC for a cash purchase price of $22.86 per unit, in a privately negotiated transaction (the “Private Placement”). Southcross Energy LLC sold 1,500,000 of these Series A Preferred Units to third parties during the second quarter of 2013.

Table of Contents

Our total capital infusion of $40.0 million, from all sales of Series A Preferred Units and General Partner capital contributions, was used to reduce borrowings under our Amended Credit Facility (See Note 5). The Private Placement resulted in proceeds to us of $39.2 million. Also, we received a $0.8 million capital contribution from our General Partner to maintain its 2.0% general partner interest in us.

Applicable accounting guidance related to the Series A Preferred Units requires that equity instruments with redemption features that are redeemable at the option of the holder be classified outside of permanent equity. The change of control rights associated with the Series A Preferred Units requires the units to be classified outside of permanent equity. The Series A Preferred Units have been adjusted to maximum redemption value as of June 30, 2013 as the maximum redemption value, calculated in accordance with the change of control rights provision of our Partnership Agreement, is currently greater than the fair value of the units at issuance. The valuation adjustment to maximum redemption value of $4.7 million and the distributions associated with the Series A Preferred Units of $0.6 million have been deducted from partners’ capital and reduced earnings per unit during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013. Additionally, none of the identified embedded derivatives relating to the terms of the Series A Preferred Units requires bifurcation, as each embedded derivative was determined to be clearly and closely related to the host contract.

Voting Rights: The Series A Preferred Units are a new class of voting equity security that ranks senior to all of our other classes or series of equity securities with respect to distribution rights and rights upon liquidation. The Series A Preferred Units have voting rights identical to the voting rights of the common units and will vote with the common units as a single class, such that each Series A Preferred Unit (including each Series A Preferred Unit issued as an in-kind distribution, discussed below) is entitled to one vote for each common unit into which such Series A Preferred Unit is convertible on each matter with respect to which each common unit is entitled to vote.

Distribution Rights: Holders of Series A Preferred Units are entitled to quarterly distributions of in-kind Series A Preferred Units for the first four full quarters following the issue date and continuing thereafter until the board of directors of our General Partner determines to begin paying quarterly distributions in cash, and thereafter in cash. The board of directors of our General Partner may not elect to begin paying quarterly distributions on the Series A Preferred Units in cash until we have exercised the Target Leverage Option (pursuant to the Second Amendment) under our Amended Credit Facility. In-kind distributions will be in the form of Series A Preferred Units at a rate of $0.40 per outstanding Series A Preferred Unit per quarter (or 7% per year of the per unit purchase price) or, beginning after four full quarters, such higher per unit rate as is paid in respect of our common units. Cash distributions will equal the greater of $0.40 per unit per quarter or the quarterly distribution paid with respect to each common unit.

Conversion Rights: Beginning on the later of January 1, 2015 and the date we exercise the Target Leverage Option (pursuant to the Second Amendment), Series A Preferred Units (including Series A Preferred Units issued as in-kind distributions) will be convertible into common units on a one-for-one basis, except that conversion will be prohibited to the extent that it would cause (on a pro forma basis) our estimated quarterly distributions over any of the succeeding four quarters to exceed our total distributable cash flow in that quarter. Additionally, on the later of January 1, 2015 and the date we exercise the Target Leverage Ratio (pursuant to the Second Amendment), we will have the right at any time to convert all or some of the Series A Preferred Units (including Series A Preferred Units issued as in-kind distributions) then outstanding into common units if (i) the daily volume-weighted average trading price of the common units on the national securities exchange on which the common units are listed or admitted to trading for the trailing 30-trading-day period before our notice of conversion is greater than 130.0% of the unit purchase price for the Series A Preferred Units, (ii) the average daily trading volume of common units on the securities exchange exceeds 40,000 common units for those 30 trading days and (iii) the conversion would not cause (on a pro forma basis) our estimated quarterly distributions over any of the succeeding four quarters to exceed our total distributable cash flow in that quarter. Further, the Series A Preferred Units will be convertible into common units based on an exchange ratio of 110.0% of the Series A Preferred Units if a third party acquires majority ownership control of our General Partner or we sell substantially all of our assets, in either case before January 1, 2015.

Dissolution and Liquidation: The Series A Preferred Units are senior to our common units with respect to rights on dissolution and liquidation. Common units issued upon conversion of Series A Preferred Units will rank equally with the rest of our common units with respect to rights on dissolution and liquidation.

12. PARTNERS’ CAPITAL

Common Units

Our common units represent limited partner interests in us. The holders of our common units are entitled to participate in partnership distributions and are entitled to exercise the rights and privileges available to limited partners under our Partnership Agreement. We have authorized 13,963,713 common units as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

Table of Contents

Subordinated Units

Subordinated units represent limited partner interests in us and convert to common units at the end of the subordination period (as defined in our Partnership Agreement). The principal difference between our common units and our subordinated units is that in any quarter during the subordination period, holders of the subordinated units are not entitled to receive any distribution of available cash until the common units have received the minimum quarterly distribution plus any arrearages in the payment of the minimum quarterly distribution from prior quarters. Subordinated units do not accrue arrearages.

General Partner Interests

Our general partner interest consisted of 533,518 general partner units as of June 30, 2013 and 498,518 general partner units as of December 31, 2012. In conjunction with the Private Placement, our General Partner made a capital contribution in the amount of $0.8 million in exchange for an issuance of an additional 35,000 general partner units during the second quarter of 2013 to maintain its 2.0% ownership interest in us.

13. UNIT BASED COMPENSATION

Long-Term Incentive Plan

On November 7, 2012, and in conjunction with our IPO, we established a 2012 Long-Term Incentive Plan (“Incentive Plan”), which provides incentive awards to eligible officers, employees and directors of our General Partner. Awards granted to employees under the Incentive Plan vest over a three-year period in equal annual installments in either a common unit or an amount of cash equal to the fair market value of a common unit at the time of vesting, as determined by management at its discretion. These awards also include distribution equivalent rights which grant the holder the right to receive an amount equal to all or a portion of the cash distributions on common units during the period the award remains outstanding.

The following table summarizes information regarding awards of units granted under the Incentive Plan:

	Six Months Ended June 30, 2013
	Units		Weighted-average fair value at grant date
Unvested - December 31, 2012	144,500		$	23.01
Granted units	37,179		$	19.91
Forfeited units	(11,300	)	$	22.45
Vested units	(8,979	)	$	19.83
Unvested - June 30, 2013	161,400		$	22.37

We granted awards under the Incentive Plan, which we have classified as equity awards, with a grant date fair value of approximately $0.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. As of June 30, 2013, we had total unamortized compensation expense of $3.0 million related to these units, which we expect to be amortized over the three year vesting period. As of June 30, 2013, we had 1,579,621 units available for issuance under the Incentive Plan.

The following table summarizes information regarding recognized compensation expense, which is included in general and administrative expense on our consolidated statements of operations (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2013		2012		2013		2012
Unit-based compensation	$	685	$	146	$	1,093	$	146

14. REVENUES

We had revenues consisting of the following categories (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2013		2012		2013		2012
Sales of natural gas	$	106,552	$	63,923	$	204,861	$	137,194
Sales of NGLs and condensate	33,792		30,829		66,212		67,646

Total revenues	$	154,703	$	105,701	$	298,954	$	226,319

15. CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK AND TRADE ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

Our primary markets are in South Texas, Alabama and Mississippi. We have a concentration of revenues and trade accounts receivable due from customers engaged in the production, trading, distribution and marketing of natural gas and NGL products. These concentrations of customers may affect overall credit risk in that these customers may be affected similarly by changes in economic, regulatory or other factors. We analyze the customers’ historical financial and operational information before extending credit.

Our top ten customers for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 represent the following percentages of consolidated revenue:

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2013		2012		2013		2012
Top 10 customers	57.7	%	70.5	%	59.6	%	70.4	%

The percentage of total consolidated revenue for each customer that exceeded 10% of total revenues for the three or six months ended June 30, 2013 or the three or six months ended June 30, 2012 was as follows:

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2013		2012		2013		2012
Sherwin Alumina Company	12.9	%	10.5	%	12.5	%	10.1	%
Dow Hydrocarbons & Resources LLC	10.9	%		(a)		(a)		(a)
Formosa Hydrocarbons Co., Inc.		(a),(b)	28.2	%	12.3	%	29.3	%

(a) Information is not provided for periods for which the customer or producer was less than 10% of our consolidated revenue.
(b) Our contract with Formosa terminated on June 1, 2013.

For the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, we did not experience significant non-payment for services. At June 30, 2013, we did not record an allowance for uncollectable accounts receivable.

16. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Partnership Distribution

On July 29, 2013, we announced a cash distribution of $0.40 per common and subordinated unit attributable to the quarter ended June 30, 2013, which will be paid on August 14, 2013 to unitholders of record on August 9, 2013. Also on July 29, 2013, we announced a Series A Preferred Unit and general partner unit distribution, each of which will be paid in-kind, of $0.40, pro-rated during the quarter for the amount of time outstanding, attributable to the quarter ended June 30, 2013, which will be paid on August 14, 2013 to unitholders of record on August 9, 2013.

Overview and How We Evaluate our Operations

Overview

Southcross Energy Partners, L.P. (the “Partnership,” “we,” “our” or “us”) is a Delaware limited partnership formed in April 2012 to own, operate, develop and acquire midstream energy assets. Our common units are listed on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the symbol “SXE.”

Southcross Energy LLC was formed in 2009 and is our predecessor. In connection with our initial public offering (“IPO”), Southcross Energy LLC contributed all of its operating subsidiaries (its net assets on a historical cost basis), excluding certain liabilities and all preferred units, and became our holding company. Southcross Energy LLC holds all of the equity interests in Southcross Energy Partners GP, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and our general partner (“General Partner”), all of our subordinated units, 215,000 Series A Preferred Units issued during the second quarter of 2013, and common units equal to 7.0% of the total units outstanding. Southcross Energy LLC is controlled through investment funds and entities associated with Charlesbank Capital Partners, LLC (“Charlesbank”). There was no change in the basis of accounting as a result of the IPO and the contributed net assets of Southcross Energy LLC.

See our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K for more information related to our organization.

Our Operations

Our integrated operations provide a full range of complementary services extending from wellhead to market, including gathering natural gas at the wellhead, treating natural gas to meet downstream pipeline and customer quality standards, processing natural gas to separate NGLs from natural gas, fractionating the resulting NGLs into the various components and selling or delivering pipeline quality natural gas and NGLs to various industrial and energy markets as well as large pipeline systems. Through our network of pipelines, we connect supplies of natural gas to our customers, which include industrial, commercial and power generation customers and local distribution companies.

Our results are determined primarily by the volumes of natural gas we gather and process, the efficiency of our processing plants and NGL fractionation plants, the commercial terms of our contractual arrangements, natural gas and NGL prices, and our operations and maintenance expense. We manage our business with the goal to maximize the gross operating margin we earn from contracts balanced against any risks we assume in our contracts. Our contracts vary in duration from one month to ten years and the pricing under our contracts varies depending upon several factors, including our competitive position, our acceptance of risks associated with longer-term contracts and our desire to recoup over the term of the contract any capital expenditures that we are required to incur to provide service to our customers. We purchase, gather, process, treat, compress, transport and sell natural gas and purchase, fractionate, transport and sell NGLs primarily pursuant to the following arrangements:

· Fixed-Fee. We receive a fixed-fee per unit of natural gas volume that we gather at the wellhead, process, treat, compress and/or transport for our customers, or we receive a fixed-fee per unit of NGL volume that we fractionate. Some of our arrangements also provide for a fixed-fee for guaranteed transportation capacity on our systems.

· Fixed-Spread. Under these arrangements, we purchase natural gas and NGLs from producers or suppliers at receipt points on our systems at an index price plus or minus a fixed price differential and sell these volumes of natural gas and NGLs at delivery points off our systems at the same index price, plus or minus a fixed price differential. By entering into such back-to-back purchases and sales, we are able to mitigate our risk associated with changes in the general commodity price levels of natural gas and NGLs. We remain subject to variations in our fixed-spreads to the extent we are unable to precisely match volumes purchased and sold in a given time period or are unable to secure the supply or to produce or market the necessary volume of products at our anticipated differentials to the index price.

Table of Contents

· Commodity-Sensitive. In exchange for our processing services, we may remit to a customer a percentage of the proceeds from our sales, or a percentage of the physical volume, of residue natural gas and/or NGLs that result from our natural gas processing, or we may purchase NGLs from customers at set fixed NGL recoveries and retain the balance of the proceeds or physical commodity for our own account. These arrangements are generally combined with fixed-fee and fixed-spread arrangements for processing services and, therefore, represent only a portion of a processing contract’s value. The revenues we receive from these arrangements directly correlate with fluctuating general commodity price levels of natural gas and NGLs and the volume of NGLs recovered relative to the fixed recovery obligations.

We assess gross operating margin opportunities across our integrated value stream, so that processing margins may be supplemented by gathering and transportation fees and opportunities to sell residue gas and NGLs at fixed-spreads. Gross operating margin earned under fixed-fee and fixed-spread arrangements is directly related to the volume of natural gas that flows through our systems and is generally independent from general commodity price levels. A sustained decline in commodity prices could result in a decline in volumes entering our system and, thus, a decrease in gross operating margin for our fixed-fee and fixed-spread arrangements.

Below is a table summarizing our contract mix (in thousands):

How We Evaluate Our Operations

Our management uses a variety of financial and operational metrics to analyze our performance. We view these metrics as important factors in evaluating our profitability and review these measurements on at least a quarterly basis for consistency and trend analysis. These performance metrics include (i) volume, (ii) gross operating margin, (iii) operations and maintenance expenses, (iv) Adjusted EBITDA and (v) distributable cash flow.

Volume — We determine and analyze volumes by operating unit, but report overall volumes after elimination of intercompany deliveries. The volume of natural gas and NGLs on our systems depends on the level of production from natural gas wells connected to our systems and also from wells connected with other pipeline systems that are interconnected with our systems.

Gross Operating Margin — Gross operating margin of our contracts is one of the metrics we use to measure and evaluate our performance. Gross operating margin is not a measure calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). We define gross operating margin as the sum of contract revenues less the cost of natural gas and NGLs sold. For our fixed-fee contracts, we record the fee as revenue and there is no offsetting cost of natural gas and NGLs sold. For our fixed-spread and commodity-sensitive arrangements, we record as revenue all of our proceeds from the sale of the natural gas and NGLs and record as an expense the associated cost of natural gas and NGLs sold.

Operations and Maintenance Expense — Our management seeks to maximize the profitability of our operations in part by minimizing, to the extent appropriate, expenses directly tied to operating and maintaining our assets. Direct labor costs, insurance costs, ad valorem and property taxes, repair and non-capitalized maintenance costs, integrity management costs, utilities and contract services comprise the most significant portion of our operations and maintenance expense. These expenses are relatively stable and largely independent of volumes delivered through our systems, but may fluctuate depending on the activities performed during a specific period.

Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow — We believe that Adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow are widely accepted financial indicators of our operational performance, ability to incur and service debt, fund capital expenditures and make distributions. Adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow are not measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, as they do not include deductions for items such as depreciation, amortization, interest and income taxes, which may be necessary to maintain the business.

Table of Contents

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income, plus interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization expense, certain non-cash charges such as non-cash equity compensation, unrealized losses on derivative contracts and selected charges and transaction costs that are unusual or non-recurring, less interest income, income tax benefit, unrealized gains on derivative contracts and selected gains that are unusual or non-recurring. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered an alternative to net income, operating cash flow or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP.

Adjusted EBITDA is used as a supplemental measure by our management and by external users of our financial statements, such as investors, commercial banks, research analysts and others, to assess:

· the financial performance of our assets without regard to financing methods, capital structure or historical cost basis;

· the ability of our assets to generate cash sufficient to support the Partnership’s indebtedness and make future cash distributions;

· operating performance and return on capital as compared to those of other companies in the midstream energy sector, without regard to financing or capital structure; and

· the attractiveness of capital projects and acquisitions and the overall rates of return on alternative investment opportunities.

We define distributable cash flow as Adjusted EBITDA plus interest income, less cash interest expense (net of capitalized costs), income tax expense and maintenance capital expenditures and use distributable cash flow to analyze our performance. Distributable cash flow does not reflect changes in working capital balances.

Distributable cash flow is used to assess:

· the ability of our assets to generate sufficient cash to support our indebtedness and make future cash distributions to our unitholders; and

· the attractiveness of capital projects and acquisitions and the overall rates of return on alternative investment opportunities.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Gross operating margin, Adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow are not financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP. We believe that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to investors in assessing our financial condition and results of operations. Net income is the GAAP measure most directly comparable to each of gross operating margin and Adjusted EBITDA. The GAAP measure most directly comparable to distributable cash flow is net cash provided by operating activities. Our non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as alternatives to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. Each of these non-GAAP financial measures has important limitations as an analytical tool because each excludes some but not all items that affect the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. You should not consider any of gross operating margin, Adjusted EBITDA or distributable cash flow in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Because gross operating margin, Adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow may be defined differently by other companies in our industry, our definitions of these non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing their utility.

Current Year Highlights

The following events took place during the six months ended June 30, 2013 and have impacted, or are likely to impact, our financial condition and results of operations.

Financing Activities

Credit Facility

On March 27, 2013, we entered into the first amendment (the “First Amendment”) to our $350.0 million senior secured credit facility (“Credit Facility”). On April 12, 2013, we entered into the limited waiver and second amendment (the “Second Amendment”) to the Credit Facility (as amended by the First Amendment and the Second Amendment, the “Amended Credit Facility”), which waived our defaults under the Credit Facility relating to financial covenants for the period ended March 31, 2013 and provided us with more favorable financial covenants than were provided previously. We believe these modified terms will allow us to operate our business and continue to meet our commitments. See further discussion included in Item 1. Financial Statements, Note 5 “Long-Term Debt” of this report.

Series A Preferred Units

During the second quarter of 2013, to satisfy our requirements under our Amended Credit Facility, we entered into a Series A Convertible Preferred Unit Purchase Agreement with Southcross Energy LLC, pursuant to which we issued and sold 1,715,000 Series A Convertible Preferred Units (“Series A Preferred Units”) to Southcross Energy LLC for a cash purchase price of $22.86 per Series A Preferred

Unit, in a privately negotiated transaction for proceeds of $39.2 million. See further discussion included in Item 1. Financial Statements, Note 11 “Series A Preferred Units” of this report.

Key Factors Affecting Operating Results and Financial Condition

· Bonnie View NGL fractionation facility. In February 2013, we completed the expansion of our NGL capacity at our Bonnie View fractionation facility, increasing its capacity to 22,500 Bbls/d. The plant initiated operations in November 2012 with capacity of 11,500 Bbls/d. The plant fractionates y-grade NGLs from our Woodsboro processing plant and produces NGL component products.

· Bonnie View start-up lost revenue and expenses. Following the start-up of our Bonnie View fractionation facility during the fourth quarter of 2012, we experienced periods of reduced recoveries and production of off-specification NGLs. This continued into the six month period ended June 30, 2013, which caused us to sell non-purity products at reduced prices or leave NGLs in the natural gas stream and sell them at natural gas equivalent prices.

· Bee Line gas pipeline commences operations. In February 2013, we completed construction of our 20-inch Bee Line pipeline to move rich gas to our Woodsboro processing plant. The Bee Line is a 57-mile pipeline with capacity of approximately 320 MMcf/d.

· Gregory processing and NGL fractionation facility. We shut down the Gregory facility in January 2013 to perform extensive turnaround maintenance activities and connect additional equipment to enhance NGL recoveries. As the turnaround maintenance was nearing completion in January 2013, we experienced a fire at this facility. Damage was limited to a small portion of the facility. We resumed significant operations in April 2013, and we resumed full operations in May 2013. In connection with the fire, we spent $3.9 million to return the plant to service and filed an insurance claim related to these costs. We recovered $1.0 million from insurance during the second quarter of 2013 and believe it is probable that we will recover the remaining costs, less a $0.3 million deductible, under our current insurance policies.

· New long-term NGL sales contracts. In March 2013, we entered into new firm sales contracts for propane, butane and natural gasoline produced at both our Bonnie View and Gregory NGL fractionation facilities. Deliveries under these contracts began in May 2013 providing us with additional markets at fixed differentials to NGL index prices which have enhanced our earnings.

· June plant outage. During June 2013, the Bonnie View fractionator experienced a non-reportable release of process oil within the facility. Shutdown of the facility to make modifications and perform safety reviews lasted four days and resulted in approximately $1.5 million of lost margin and increased operating expenses.

· Site abandonment restoration. During the second quarter of 2013, we accrued expenses of $0.4 million to cover the estimated expenses of dismantling, cleaning up, and restoring an abandoned compressor site.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2013 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2012

Volume and overview. Our average volume of natural gas per day decreased 5% to 545,093 MMBtu/d during the three months ended June 30, 2013, compared to 571,884 MMBtu/d during the three months ended June 30, 2012, due primarily to a reduction of lean gas consumption and transportation volumes. Processed gas volumes increased 4% to 217,315 MMBtu/d during the three months ended June 30, 2013, compared to 208,658 MMBtu/d during the three months ended June 30, 2012, reflecting the increase in rich gas volumes processed at our facilities.

Table of Contents

The average volume of NGLs produced for the three months ended June 30, 2013 was 10,740 Bbls/d, an increase of 19%, compared to 9,013 Bbls/d for the three months ended June 30, 2012. This increase was due to the impact of increased volumes of rich gas processed at our facilities.

Gross operating margin for the three months ended June 30, 2013 was $21.3 million, compared to $18.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012. This increase of 14% was due primarily to increased processed gas volumes and increased gathering and processing fees partially offset by increased prices on natural gas relative to NGL prices.

Adjusted EBITDA decreased by 15% to $6.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013, compared to $7.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012, due to higher margins from processing and fractionation activities partially offset by the June 2013 plant outage previously mentioned and higher general and administrative expenses, and the accrual of expense related to site abandonment restoration. We had a net loss of $6.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared to net income of $1.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012. Net income declined for the reasons stated above as well as higher depreciation and amortization expense and interest expense.

Revenues. Our total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2013 was $154.7 million, compared to $105.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012. This increase of $49.0 million, or 46%, was due primarily to the impact of increased prices of natural gas, partially offset by a decrease in natural gas sales volumes. Additionally, revenue from transportation, gathering and processing fees increased $3.3 million, or 31%, for the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012, reflecting the results of additional rich gas volumes in 2013. Revenue from sales of NGLs and condensate increased $3.0 million, or 10%, to $33.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared to $30.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012, reflecting the higher NGL volumes delivered to our processing plants, which was partially offset by lower NGL prices realized. Realized average natural gas and NGL prices were as follows:

	Three Months Ended June 30,
	2013	2012
Natural Gas	$4.19/MMBtu	$2.30/MMBtu
NGLs	$0.82/gal	$0.89/gal

Cost of natural gas and NGLs sold. Our cost of natural gas and NGLs sold for the three months ended June 30, 2013 was $133.4 million, compared to $87.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012. This increase of $46.4 million, or 53%, was due primarily to higher natural gas prices partially offset by lower natural gas volumes purchased, as well as increased NGL volumes purchased partially offset by lower NGL prices compared to the same period in 2012.

Operations and maintenance expense. Operations and maintenance expense for the three months ended June 30, 2013 was $10.3 million, compared to $8.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012. This increase of $1.9 million, or 23%, was primarily related to the cost of operating the Woodsboro plant and Bonnie View fractionation facility for the three months ended June 30, 2013, as both plants commenced operations in the second half of 2012.

General and administrative (“G&A”) expenses. G&A expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2013 were $5.6 million, compared to $3.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012. This increase of $2.4 million, or 74%, was due primarily to increased expenses from recruiting and additional headcount, the expenses related to being a public company, insurance coverage to support our growing operations, and expenses to build our corporate and support infrastructure.

Depreciation and amortization expense. Depreciation and amortization expense for the three months ended June 30, 2013 was $8.3 million, compared to $3.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012. The increase of $4.6 million, or 125%, was due primarily to the completion of growth capital projects.

Interest expense. For the three months ended June 30, 2013, net interest expense was $3.1 million, compared to $1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012. This increase was due to higher average borrowings as well as an increase in our weighted average borrowing rate compared to the same period in 2012.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2013 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2012

Volume and overview. Our average volume of natural gas per day decreased 1% to 569,592 MMBtu/d during the six months ended June 30, 2013, compared to 576,404 MMBtu/d during the six months ended June 30, 2012, due primarily to decreased demand for natural gas transportation in our Mississippi/Alabama markets. Processed gas volumes increased 8% to 228,474 MMBtu/d during

Table of Contents

the six months ended June 30, 2013, compared to 210,679 MMBtu/d during the six months ended June 30, 2012, reflecting the increase in rich gas volumes processed at our facilities.

The average volume of NGLs produced for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was 10,448 Bbls/d, an increase of 15%, compared to 9,093 Bbls/d for the six months ended June 30, 2012. This increase was due to the impact of increased volumes of rich gas processed at our facilities.

Gross operating margin, for the six months ended June 30, 2013, was $40.2 million, compared to $40.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. This slight increase was due primarily to increased processed gas volumes and increased gathering and processing fees partially offset by increased prices on natural gas relative to NGL prices.

Adjusted EBITDA decreased by 44% to $10.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013, compared to $19.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012, due primarily to higher general and administrative expenses and the accrual of expense related to site abandonment restoration. We had a net loss of $12.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to net income of $8.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. Net income declined for the same reasons stated above as well as higher depreciation and amortization expense and interest expense.

Revenues. Our total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was $299.0 million, compared to $226.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. This increase of $72.6 million, or 32%, was due primarily to the impact of increased prices of natural gas, partially offset by a decrease in natural gas sales volumes. Additionally, revenue from transportation, gathering and processing fees increased $6.2 million, or 29%, for the six months ended June 30, 2013, reflecting the results of additional rich gas volumes in 2013. Revenue from sales of NGLs and condensate decreased $1.4 million, or 2%, to $66.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013, compared to $67.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012, reflecting the lower NGL prices realized which offset the benefit of new volumes delivered to our processing plants. Realized average natural gas and NGL prices were as follows:

	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2013	2012
Natural Gas	$3.80/MMBtu	$2.48/ MMBtu
NGLs	$0.83/gal	$0.98/ gal

Cost of natural gas and NGLs sold. Our cost of natural gas and NGLs sold for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was $258.8 million, compared to $186.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. This increase of $72.6 million, or 39%, was due primarily to higher volumes of natural gas purchased at higher prices than in the same period in 2012 as well as increased NGL volumes offset by lower NGL prices.

Operations and maintenance expense. Operations and maintenance expense for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was $20.2 million, compared to $15.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. This increase of $4.6 million, or 29%, was due primarily to $4.8 million in costs related to operating the Woodsboro plant and Bonnie View fractionation facility for the six months ended June 30, 2013, as Woodsboro and Bonnie View commenced operations in the second half of 2012. In addition, we had increased ad valorem and other taxes due to investments in and expansion of our assets and higher labor and benefit costs due to increased staffing to support our expansion. Finally, we incurred higher costs for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2012 at our Gregory processing plant for turnaround maintenance and costs related to the fire experienced at the plant.

General and administrative (“G&A”) expenses. G&A expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2013 were $11.6 million, compared to $5.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. This increase of $6.0 million, or 107%, was due primarily to increased expenses from additional headcount at the corporate office, the expenses related to being a public company, insurance coverage to support our growing operations, and expenses to build our corporate and support infrastructure.

Depreciation and amortization expense. Depreciation and amortization expense for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was $15.5 million, compared to $7.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The increase of $8.2 million, or 112%, was due primarily to the completion of growth capital projects.

Interest expense. For the six months ended June 30, 2013, net interest expense was $5.1 million, compared to $3.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. This increase was due to higher average borrowings and interest rates associated with our borrowings compared to the same period in 2012.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Sources of Liquidity

Our primary source of liquidity has been cash generated from operations, investments by Charlesbank and other investors, equity raised through the IPO and other equity issuances and borrowings under our predecessor’s credit facility and the Amended Credit Facility. Our primary cash requirements consist of operating and G&A expenses, maintenance capital expenditures to sustain existing operations or generate additional revenues, interest payments on outstanding debt, acquisitions and construction of new assets, businesses acquisitions, and distributions to unitholders.

We expect to fund short term cash requirements, such as operating and G&A expenses and maintenance capital expenditures to sustain existing operations, primarily through operating cash flows. We expect to fund long-term cash requirements, such as for expansion projects and acquisitions, through several sources, including operating cash flows, borrowings under our Amended Credit Facility and issuances of additional equity and debt securities, as appropriate and subject to market conditions. Our ability to fund expansion projects through the use of our Amended Credit Facility is limited to $25.0 million during the remaining two quarters of 2013 and an additional $25.0 million in the subsequent 18-month period ending June 30, 2015, which can be increased to $28.0 million in each period if additional funds are placed into the Collateral Account (as defined in the Second Amendment). We do not expect these limitations to affect current operations or future projects significantly. See Item 1. Financial Statements, Note 5 “Long-Term Debt” of this report for a description of the amendments to the Credit Facility.

Series A Preferred Unit issuance. We entered into a Series A Convertible Preferred Unit Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Southcross Energy LLC, pursuant to which we issued and sold 1,715,000 Series A Preferred Units to Southcross Energy LLC during the second quarter of 2013. Series A Preferred Units were sold to Southcross Energy LLC for a cash purchase price of $22.86 per unit, in a privately negotiated transaction (the “Private Placement”). Southcross Energy LLC sold 1,500,000 of these Series A Preferred Units to third parties during the second quarter of 2013.

Capital resources. Our business is capital-intensive, requiring significant investment to maintain and upgrade existing operations. Our capital requirements have consisted primarily of and will continue to be:

· maintenance capital expenditures, which are capital expenditures to replace partially or fully depreciated assets to maintain the existing operating capacity of our assets and to extend their useful lives, or other capital expenditures that are incurred in maintaining existing system volumes and related cash flows; and

· growth capital expenditures, which are capital expenditures to expand or increase the efficiency of the existing operating capacity of our assets. Growth capital expenditures include expenditures that facilitate an increase in volumes within our operations, whether through construction or acquisition.

The following table summarizes our capital expenditures (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2013		2012		2013		2012
Maintenance capital	$	635	$	1,388	$	1,345	$	1,736
Growth capital	19,604		31,302		68,104		69,867
Capital expenditures	$	20,239	$	32,690	$	69,449	$	71,603

Table of Contents

Our growth capital expenditures during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 primarily related to (i) our continued construction of the Bonnie View NGL fractionation facility completed in February 2013 and (ii) our new Bee Line pipeline completed in February 2013. Our growth capital expenditures during the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 primarily related to (i) construction of the Bonnie View fractionation facility and (ii) construction of our Woodsboro processing facility.

During the remaining two quarters of 2013, we expect to spend approximately $10.2 million on additions to plant, property, and equipment.

Outlook. Cash flow is affected by a number of factors, some of which we cannot control. These factors include prices and demand for our services, operational risks, volatility in commodity prices or interest rates, industry and economic conditions, conditions in the financial markets and other factors.

Our ability to benefit from growth projects to accommodate strong drilling activity and the associated need for infrastructure assets and services is subject to operational risks and uncertainties such as the uncertainty inherent in some of the assumptions underlying design specifications for new, modified or expanded facilities. These risks also impact third-party service providers and their facilities. Delays or underperformance of our facilities or third-party facilities may adversely affect our ability to generate cash from operations and comply with our obligations, including the covenants under our debt instruments. For example, we encountered operational difficulties in connection with the fire at our Gregory facility that had a negative impact on our results in the six months ended June 30, 2013. In other cases, actual production delivered may fall below volume estimates that we relied upon in deciding to pursue an acquisition or other growth project. Future cash flow and our ability to comply with our debt covenants would likewise be affected adversely if we experienced declining volumes over a sustained period and/or unfavorable commodity prices.

Our historical financing strategy for funding long-term capital expenditures has been to target a roughly equal mix of debt and equity financing and a consolidated leverage ratio in compliance with our credit agreement covenants. During the first half of 2013, in conjunction with the additional equity investments in us, we negotiated with our lenders and secured more favorable financial covenants and amended our Credit Facility. As of July 31, 2013, we had $1.9 million of borrowing capacity under our Amended Credit Facility. We believe we have and will continue to have sufficient liquidity to operate our business due partially to a provision in our Amended Credit Facility to increase borrowing capacity by placing additional funds into our Cash Collateral account.

We believe that cash from operations, cash on hand and available capacity under our Amended Credit Facility will provide liquidity to meet future short term capital requirements and to fund committed capital expenditures for the remainder of 2013. The sufficiency of these liquidity sources to fund necessary and committed capital needs will be dependent upon our ability to meet our covenant requirements of our Amended Credit Facility. Please read Item 1. Financial Statements, Note 5 “Long-Term Debt” of this report for a description of our Amended Credit Facility.

Organic expansion projects and acquisitions are key elements of our business strategy. We intend to finance our growth capital primarily through the issuance of debt and equity. The timing, size or success of any acquisition or expansion effort and the associated potential capital commitments are unpredictable. To consummate acquisitions or capital projects, we may require access to additional capital. Our access to capital over the longer term will depend on our future operating performance, financial condition and credit rating and, more broadly, on the availability of equity and debt financing, which will be affected by prevailing conditions in our industry, the economy and the financial markets and other financial and business factors, many of which are beyond our control.

Cash Flows

The following table provides a summary of our cash flows by category (in thousands):

	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2013			2012
Net cash (used in) provided by operating activities	$	(336	)	$	12,244
Net cash used in investing activities	$	(72,047	)	$	(71,603	)
Net cash provided by financing activities	$	66,874		$	61,241

Operating cash flows — Net cash used in operating activities was $0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013, compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $12.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The decrease in cash from operating activities was the result of lower net income, net of non-cash charges, of $4.6 million. In addition, the overall decrease in operating cash flows of $12.6 million included a decrease in the change in operating assets and liabilities of $0.7 million due primarily to expenditures related to increases to operating expenses period over period from increased operational activities, administrative infrastructure, and the annual payment of property taxes of $4.0 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2013.

Table of Contents

Investing cash flows — Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was $72.0 million, compared to $71.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The increase of $0.4 million primarily relates to the increase in capital spending period over period primarily related to the completion of the Bee Line and Bonnie View fractionation facility in February 2013. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, we spent $68.1 million in growth capital and $1.3 million in maintenance capital. In addition to capital spending, we spent $3.9 million at our Gregory facility related to a fire that occurred in January 2013 to return the plant to service.

Financing cash flows — Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was $66.9 million, compared to $61.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The increase was due to increased net borrowings of $39.2 million period over period offset by distributions paid to partners of $16.0 million. Also, the issuance of the Series A preferred units increased cash from financing activities by $38.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, our predecessor received net proceeds of $42.8 million from the issuance of Series B redeemable preferred units offset by the repurchase and retirement of Southcross Energy LLC common units and financing costs paid and proceeds of $30.0 million from the issuance of the Series C redeemable preferred units.
