HOUSTON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–May. 1, 2013– Western Gas Partners, LP (NYSE: WES) (“WES”) andWestern Gas Equity Partners, LP (NYSE: WGP) (“WGP”) today announced first-quarter 2013 financial and operating results.
WESTERN GAS PARTNERS, LP
Net income available to limited partners for the first quarter of 2013, which includes results from the 33.75% interest in certain Anadarko-operated Marcellus gathering assets acquired from a third-party (the “Anadarko-Operated Marcellus Interest”) beginning in March 2013, totaled $32.4 million, or $0.31per common unit (diluted). For the first-quarter of 2013, Adjusted EBITDA (1) was $95.9 million and Distributable cash flow (1) was $79.1 million, resulting in a Coverage ratio (1) of 1.13 times for the period.
Total throughput attributable to WES for the first quarter of 2013 averaged 2.9 Bcf/d, flat with the prior quarter and 7% above the first quarter of 2012. These results include the net throughput attributable to the Mountain Gas Resources (“MGR”) assets and the 33.75% interest in certain third-party operated Marcellus gathering assets acquired from Anadarko (the “Non-Operated Marcellus Interest”) for all periods of comparison, throughput attributable to the additional Chipeta interest beginning in August 2012, and throughput attributable to the Anadarko-Operated Marcellus Interest beginning in March 2013.
Excluding acquisitions, capital expenditures attributable to WES on a cash basis totaled $161.5 million during the first quarter of 2013. Of this amount, maintenance capital expenditures were $6.0 million, or 6% of Adjusted EBITDA (1). Capital expenditures attributable to WES on an accrual basis and excluding acquisitions totaled $159.4 million during the first quarter of 2013.
“Our first quarter operating performance was in line with our expectations,” said President and Chief Executive Officer, Don Sinclair. “We are pleased by the volume trajectory of our recently acquired Marcellus assets, the over 50 first-quarter well connections in our liquids-rich areas that will drive throughput growth, and the projected start-up of our Brasada facility in June. We maintain the full-year 2013 guidance that we released in February.”

(1) Please see the tables at the end of this release for a reconciliation of non-GAAP to GAAP measures and calculation of the Coverage ratio.
Western Gas Partners, LP Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Measures
Below are reconciliations of the Partnership’s Distributable cash flow (non-GAAP) to net income attributable to Western Gas Partners, LP (GAAP) and Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) to net income attributable to Western Gas Partners, LP (GAAP) and net cash provided by operating activities (GAAP), as required under Regulation G of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Management believes that the Partnership’s Distributable cash flow, Adjusted EBITDA and Coverage ratio are widely accepted financial indicators of the Partnership’s financial performance compared to other publicly traded partnerships and are useful in assessing the Partnership’s ability to incur and service debt, fund capital expenditures and make distributions. Distributable cash flow, Adjusted EBITDA and Coverage ratio, as defined by the Partnership, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Therefore, the Partnership’s Distributable cash flow, Adjusted EBITDA and Coverage ratio should be considered in conjunction with net income and other applicable performance measures, such as operating income or cash flows from operating activities.
Distributable Cash Flow
The Partnership defines Distributable cash flow as Adjusted EBITDA, plus interest income, less net cash paid for interest expense (including amortization of deferred debt issuance costs originally paid in cash, offset by non-cash capitalized interest), maintenance capital expenditures and income taxes.
