Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Information

Adjusted Segment EBITDA

DCP Midstream Partners, LP (“Partners”) uses adjusted segment EBITDA, which is a financial measure not defined in the United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Adjusted segment EBITDA is used as a supplemental performance measure by our management and we believe by external users of our financial statements, such as investors, commercial banks, research analysts and others, to assess:

 

   

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

 

   

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

 

   

viability of acquisitions and capital expenditure projects and the overall rates of return on alternative investment opportunities.

We define adjusted segment EBITDA for each segment as segment net income or loss attributable to Partners less interest income and non-cash commodity derivative gains for that segment, plus interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization expense and non-cash commodity derivative losses for that segment, adjusted for any noncontrolling interest on depreciation and amortization expense, and income tax expense for that segment.

The accompanying schedules provide reconciliations of this non-GAAP financial measure to its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. Adjusted segment EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to our financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP, including net income or loss attributable to Partners, or any other measure of performance presented in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted segment EBITDA as presented by us may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies because they may not calculate adjusted segment EBITDA in the same manner.
