Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On May 8, 2009, El Paso Pipeline Partners, L.P. (EPB) announced earnings results for the quarter ended March 31, 2009. The slide presentation used for the earnings web cast included financial information about us. A copy of the slides including financial information about us is attached as Exhibit 99.A. The corresponding exhibit listed under Item 9.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is not filed, but is furnished to comply with Item 2.02 of Form 8-K.
Our management uses earnings before interest expense and income taxes (EBIT) as a measure to assess the operating results and effectiveness of our business. We believe EBIT is useful to investors because it allows them to evaluate more effectively our operating performance using the same performance measure analyzed internally by our management. We define EBIT as net income adjusted for (i) items that do not impact our income from continuing operations, (ii) income taxes, (iii) interest and debt expense and (iv) affiliated interest income. We exclude interest and debt expense from this measure so that investors may evaluate our operating results without regard to our financing methods. EBIT may not be comparable to measurements used by other companies. Additionally, EBIT should be considered in conjunction with net income and other performance measures such as operating income and operating cash flows.
