Review of Second Quarter 2014 Results

Net income for the second quarter of 2014 was $647 million versus $553 million for the second quarter of 2013. On a fully diluted basis, net income attributable to limited partners for the second quarter of 2014 was $0.68 per unit compared to $0.60 per unit for the second quarter of 2013. Net income for the second quarter of 2013 was reduced by a non-cash charge of $27 million, or $0.03 per unit on a fully diluted basis, associated with the impairment of certain assets.

On July 10, 2014, Enterprise announced an increase in the partnership’s quarterly cash distribution with respect to the second quarter of 2014 to $0.72 per unit, representing a 5.9 percent increase over the $0.68 per unit that was paid with respect to the second quarter of 2013. Enterprise generated distributable cash flow of $954 million for the second quarter of 2014 compared to $925 million for the second quarter of 2013. Distributable cash flow for the second quarters of 2014 and 2013 included proceeds from the sales of assets of $17 million and $69 million, respectively.

Enterprise’s distributable cash flow for the second quarter of 2014 provided 1.4 times coverage of the cash distribution that will be paid on August 7, 2014 to unitholders of record on July 31, 2014. The partnership retained approximately $293 million of distributable cash flow for the second quarter of 2014, which is available to reinvest in growth capital projects, reduce debt, and decrease the need to issue additional equity. For the first six months of 2014, Enterprise has retained approximately $730 million of distributable cash flow.

“Enterprise reported another solid quarter driven by record volumes transported on our liquid pipelines, fee-based natural gas processing volumes and NGL fractionation volumes in a quarter that is typically a seasonally weaker quarter,” said Michael A. Creel, chief executive officer of Enterprise’s general partner. “This volume growth and strong demand for NGLs, natural gas, crude oil and petrochemicals led to an 11 percent increase in gross operating margin and a 9 percent increase in distributable cash flow, excluding proceeds from asset sales, in the second quarter of 2014 compared to the second quarter of last year.”

“We benefitted from cash flow and volume growth associated with $5.7 billion of new assets that have begun operations since the beginning of 2013. Volumes transported on our liquids pipelines increased by 7 percent attributable to volume growth on our NGL and crude oil pipelines serving production from the Eagle Ford, Rockies, Permian, and Marcellus regions and the Gulf of Mexico. NGL fractionation volumes increased 25 percent due to new facilities that began service in the second half of 2013. Some of our projects that were recently completed, such as the ATEX ethane pipeline and Front Range NGL pipeline, have volume commitments that increase over a multi-year period,” added Creel.

“During the second quarter of 2014, we completed construction on three new infrastructure projects totaling almost $1 billion of capital investment - the loop of the Seaway crude oil pipeline, our refined products marine terminal in Beaumont, Texas and three additional tanks at our ECHO crude oil storage facility. Our backlog of projects still under construction is approximately $6 billion with expected completion dates extending through 2016. Our large integrated system continues to create new business opportunities. We are working hard to further our success in turning these opportunities into capital projects that will provide new streams of cash flow to support future distribution growth,” stated Creel.

Review of Second Quarter 2014 Segment Performance

NGL Pipelines & Services – Gross operating margin for the NGL Pipelines & Services segment increased 25 percent to $681 million for the second quarter of 2014 compared to $545 million for the same quarter of 2013.

Enterprise’s natural gas processing and related NGL marketing business generated gross operating margin of $266 million for the second quarter of 2014 compared to $264 million for the second quarter of 2013. Gross operating margin from the partnership’s natural gas processing plants increased by $26 million primarily due to higher fee-based processing volumes and equity NGL production. Enterprise’s natural gas processing plants reported record fee-based processing volumes of 4.9 Bcfd in the second quarter of 2014 compared to 4.6 Bcfd in the second quarter of 2013. Enterprise’s equity NGL production was 136 MBPD for the second quarter of 2014 compared to 118 MBPD for the second quarter of 2013. Gross operating margin from Enterprise’s NGL marketing activities decreased $24 million primarily due to lower margins and the effects of downtime associated with maintenance and activities preparing for the 2015 expansion of the LPG export terminal on the Houston Ship Channel. The LPG export terminal resumed operations on July 7, 2014 after a 10-day outage.

Gross operating margin from the partnership’s NGL pipelines and storage business increased $73 million, or 39 percent, to $261 million for the second quarter of 2014 from $188 million for the second quarter of 2013. NGL pipeline volumes increased by 122 MBPD in the second quarter of 2014 to 2.9 million BPD compared to the second quarter of 2013. The partnership’s ATEX ethane pipeline, which began commercial service in January 2014, generated gross operating margin of $35 million for the second quarter of 2014. ATEX transported approximately 44 MBPD of ethane during the second quarter of 2014.

The Mid-America and Seminole NGL pipeline systems reported a $19 million increase in gross operating margin in the second quarter of 2014 compared to the same quarter of 2013 due to higher revenues from deficiency fees and an increase in tariffs, which was partially offset by higher operating expenses. Volumes on the Mid-America and Seminole pipelines were 983 MBPD in the second quarter of 2014 compared to 982 MBPD in the second quarter of last year. The South Texas NGL pipeline systems reported an $11 million increase in gross operating margin compared to the second quarter of 2013 primarily due to a 78 MBPD increase in volume attributable to production growth from the Eagle Ford shale.

Enterprise’s NGL fractionation business reported record gross operating margin of $154 million for the second quarter of 2014, a $61 million increase compared to $93 million reported for the second quarter of last year. Gross operating margin for the partnership’s fractionators at Mont Belvieu increased $63 million to $126 million for the second quarter of 2014 compared to the second quarter of 2013. This increase in gross operating margin was primarily attributable to a 179 MBPD increase in volume as Fractionators VII and VIII began commercial operations during the second half of 2013. Fractionation volumes for the second quarter of 2014 increased 25 percent to a record 845 MBPD compared to the same quarter in 2013.

Onshore Natural Gas Pipelines & Services – Enterprise’s Onshore Natural Gas Pipelines & Services segment reported gross operating margin of $203 million for the second quarter of 2014 compared to $198 million for the second quarter of 2013.

The Texas Intrastate system reported a $3 million increase in gross operating margin for the second quarter of 2014 compared to the second quarter of last year primarily due to higher fees. Our natural gas marketing activities reported a $2 million increase in gross operating margin for the second quarter of 2014 compared to the second quarter of 2013 primarily due to higher sales margins. Aggregate gross operating margin for the Haynesville, Jonah and Piceance Basin gathering systems declined by $5 million and aggregate volume on these systems declined by 0.5 TBtud in the second quarter of 2014 compared to the second quarter of 2013 due to the effects of reduced drilling activities and production declines in the regions served by these systems.

Onshore Crude Oil Pipelines & Services – Gross operating margin from the partnership’s Onshore Crude Oil Pipelines & Services segment decreased by $13 million to $184 million for the second quarter of 2014 from $197 million for the second quarter of 2013. Total onshore crude oil pipeline volumes increased 13 percent to 1.3 million BPD for the second quarter of 2014 from 1.1 million BPD for the second quarter of 2013. Enterprise’s South Texas and West Texas crude oil pipeline systems and Eagle Ford joint venture pipeline reported an aggregate $34 million increase in gross operating margin in the second quarter of 2014 compared to the second quarter of 2013 on a 177 MBPD increase in volume.

Enterprise’s crude oil marketing business reported a $55 million decrease in gross operating margin in the second quarter of 2014 compared to the second quarter of 2013 due to lower margins that were primarily caused by the substantial decrease in regional price spreads for crude oil. For example, the average indicative price spread between the benchmark Louisiana Light Sweet and West Texas Intermediate crude oil was $10.41 per barrel for the second quarter of 2013 compared to $2.56 per barrel for the second quarter of 2014.

Period-to-period fluctuations in our consolidated revenues and cost of sales amounts are explained in large part by changes in energy commodity prices. Energy commodity prices fluctuate for a variety of reasons, including supply and demand imbalances and geopolitical tensions.

The weighted-average indicative market price for NGLs (based on prices for such products at Mont Belvieu, Texas, which is the primary industry hub for domestic NGL production) was $1.03 per gallon during the second quarter of 2014 versus $0.95 per gallon for the second quarter of 2013.

The market price of natural gas (as measured at the Henry Hub in Louisiana) averaged $4.68 per MMBtu during the second quarter of 2014 versus $4.10 per MMBtu during the second quarter of 2013 – a 14 percent increase. The increase in prices is generally due to higher natural gas demand for power generation.

The market price of WTI crude oil (as measured on the NYMEX) averaged $102.99 per barrel during the second quarter of 2014 compared to $94.22 per barrel during the second quarter of 2013. As a result of our recent crude oil pipeline infrastructure improvements, we have greater access to U.S. Gulf Coast refiners. Typically, these refining customers purchase crude oil based on LLS prices, which averaged $105.55 per barrel during the second quarter of 2014 compared to $104.63 per barrel during the second quarter of 2013.

A decrease in our consolidated marketing revenues due to lower energy commodity sales prices may not result in a decrease in gross operating margin or cash available for distribution, since our consolidated cost of sales amounts would also be lower due to comparable decreases in the purchase prices of the underlying energy commodities. The same correlation would be true in the case of higher energy commodity sales prices and purchase costs.

Gross operating margin (either in total or by individual segment) is an important performance measure of the core profitability of our operations. This measure forms the basis of our internal financial reporting and is used by our executive management in deciding how to allocate capital resources among business segments. We believe that investors benefit from having access to the same financial measures that our management uses in evaluating segment results. The GAAP financial measure most directly comparable to total segment gross operating margin is operating income.   In total, gross operating margin represents operating income exclusive of (1) depreciation, amortization and accretion expenses, (2) impairment charges, (3) gains and losses attributable to asset sales and insurance recoveries and (4) general and administrative costs. In addition, gross operating margin includes equity in income of unconsolidated affiliates and non-refundable deferred transportation revenues relating to the make-up rights of committed shippers associated with certain pipelines. Gross operating margin by segment is calculated by subtracting segment operating costs and expenses (net of the adjustments noted above) from segment revenues, with both segment totals before the elimination of intercompany transactions. In accordance with GAAP, intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. Gross operating margin is exclusive of other income and expense transactions, income taxes, the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles and extraordinary charges. Gross operating margin is presented on a 100 percent basis before any allocation of earnings to noncontrolling interests.             Enterprise Products Partners L.P.

Such expenditures serve to maintain existing operations but do not generate additional revenues.   Our management compares the distributable cash flow we generate to the cash distributions we expect to pay our partners. Using this metric, management computes our distribution coverage ratio. Distributable cash flow is an important non-GAAP financial measure for our limited partners since it serves as an indicator of our success in providing a cash return on investment. Specifically, this financial measure indicates to investors whether or not we are generating cash flows at a level that can sustain or support an increase in our quarterly cash distributions. Distributable cash flow is also a quantitative standard used by the investment community with respect to publicly traded partnerships because the value of a partnership unit is, in part, measured by its yield, which is based on the amount of cash distributions a partnership can pay to a unitholder. The GAAP measure most directly comparable to distributable cash flow is net cash flows provided by operating activities.
