Western Gas Announces Second-Quarter 2017 Results

HOUSTON, July 25, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Western Gas Partners, LP (NYSE: WES) ("WES" or the "Partnership") and Western Gas Equity Partners, LP (NYSE: WGP) ("WGP") today announced second-quarter 2017 financial and operating results.

WESTERN GAS PARTNERS, LP
Net income (loss) available to limited partners for the second quarter of 2017 totaled $82.9 million, or $0.49 per common unit (diluted), with second-quarter 2017 Adjusted EBITDA(1) of $274.8 million and second-quarter 2017 Distributable cash flow(1) of $247.2 million.

WES previously declared a quarterly distribution of $0.890 per unit for the second quarter of 2017. This distribution represented a 2% increase over the prior quarter's distribution and a 7% increase over the second-quarter 2016 distribution of $0.830 per unit. The second-quarter 2017 Coverage ratio(1) of 1.19 times was based on the quarterly distribution of $0.890 per unit.

"We continue to achieve significant milestones in the Delaware Basin that enhance both our competitive position in the area and our ability to serve the increasing needs of producers. These include the DBJV-for-Marcellus asset exchange, the early settlement of the DBJV Deferred Purchase Price Obligation, and the successful start-up of our produced water gathering and disposal systems," said Chief Executive Officer, Benjamin Fink. "Additionally, we are excited to announce the sanctioning of the Latham plant in the DJ Basin, which will consist of two cryogenic processing trains with a total capacity of 400 MMcf/d. These trains will be supported by long-term volumetric commitments from Anadarko, and are scheduled to come online in the first and third quarters of 2019."

Please see the tables at the end of this release for a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP measures and calculation of the Coverage ratio.

Total throughput attributable to WES for natural gas assets for the second quarter of 2017 averaged 3.5 Bcf/d, which was 12% below the prior quarter and 10% below the second quarter of 2016. Total throughput attributable to WES for natural gas was 2% above the prior quarter when adjusted for the impact of the DBJV-for-Marcellus asset exchange that closed in March 2017. Total throughput for crude, NGL and produced water assets for the second quarter of 2017 averaged 182 MBbls/d, which was 8% above the prior quarter and 3% below the second quarter of 2016.

Capital expenditures attributable to WES, including equity investments but excluding acquisitions, totaled $133.6 million on a cash basis and $148.2 million on an accrual basis during the second quarter of 2017, with maintenance capital expenditures on a cash basis of $11.4 million.

WESTERN GAS EQUITY PARTNERS, LP
WGP indirectly owns the entire general partner interest in WES, 100% of the incentive distribution rights in WES and 50,132,046 WES common units. Net income (loss) available to limited partners for the second quarter of 2017 totaled $104.9 million, or $0.48 per common unit (diluted).

WGP previously declared a quarterly distribution of $0.52750 per unit for the second quarter of 2017. This distribution represented a 7% increase over the prior quarter's distribution and a 22% increase over the second-quarter 2016 distribution of $0.43375 per unit. WGP will receive distributions from WES of $116.3 million attributable to the second quarter and will pay $115.5 million in distributions for the same period.

This news release contains forward-looking statements. WES and WGP's management believes that their expectations are based on reasonable assumptions. No assurance, however, can be given that such expectations will prove to have been correct. A number of factors could cause actual results to differ materially from the projections, anticipated results or other expectations expressed in this news release. These factors include the ability to meet financial guidance or distribution growth expectations; the ability to safely and efficiently operate WES's assets; the supply of, demand for, and price of oil, natural gas, NGLs and related products or services; the ability to meet projected in-service dates for capital growth projects; construction costs or capital expenditures exceeding estimated or budgeted costs or expenditures; and the other factors described in the "Risk Factors" sections of WES's and WGP's most recent Forms 10-K and Forms 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and in their other public filings and press releases.

Western Gas Partners, LP Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Measures

Below are reconciliations of (i) net income (loss) attributable to Western Gas Partners, LP (GAAP) to WES's Distributable cash flow (non-GAAP), (ii) net income (loss) attributable to Western Gas Partners, LP (GAAP) and net cash provided by operating activities (GAAP) to Adjusted EBITDA attributable to Western Gas Partners, LP ("Adjusted EBITDA") (non-GAAP), and (iii) operating income (loss) (GAAP) to Adjusted gross margin attributable to Western Gas Partners, LP ("Adjusted gross margin") (non-GAAP), as required under Regulation G of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Management believes that WES's Distributable cash flow, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted gross margin, and Coverage ratio are widely accepted financial indicators of WES's financial performance compared to other publicly traded partnerships and are useful in assessing its ability to incur and service debt, fund capital expenditures and make distributions. Distributable cash flow, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted gross margin and Coverage ratio, as defined by WES, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Therefore, WES's Distributable cash flow, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted gross margin and Coverage ratio should be considered in conjunction with net income (loss) attributable to Western Gas Partners, LP and other applicable performance measures, such as operating income (loss) or cash flows from operating activities.

Western Gas Partners, LP Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Measures, continued

Distributable Cash Flow

WES defines Distributable cash flow as Adjusted EBITDA, plus interest income and the net settlement amounts from the sale and/or purchase of natural gas, condensate and NGLs under WES's commodity price swap agreements to the extent such amounts are not recognized as Adjusted EBITDA, less net cash paid (or to be paid) for interest expense (including amortization of deferred debt issuance costs originally paid in cash, offset by non-cash capitalized interest), maintenance capital expenditures, Series A Preferred unit distributions and income taxes.
