ENERGY TRANSFER EQUITY
REPORTS QUARTERLY AND ANNUAL RESULTS
REPORTS QUARTERLY AND ANNUAL RESULTS
Dallas February 16, 2011 Energy Transfer Equity, L.P. (NYSE:ETE) today
reported Distributable Cash Flow of $118.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2010, a
decrease of $10.0 million compared to the three months ended December 31, 2009. ETEs net income
attributable to partners was $76.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2010 as compared
to $139.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2009. The decrease in net income
attributable to partners was primarily due to lower earnings from subsidiaries and higher interest
expense related to both the preferred units issued by ETE in May 2010 and the senior notes issued
in September 2010.
Distributable Cash Flow, excluding realized losses on interest rate swaps terminated in connection
with ETEs long-term debt refinancing, was $485.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2010 as
compared to $494.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2009.
Distributable Cash Flow and Distributable Cash Flow (excluding realized losses on termination of
interest rate swaps) are non-GAAP measures as explained below.
ETE reported net income attributable to its partners of $192.8 million for the year ended December
31, 2010 as compared to net income attributable to its partners of $442.5 million for the year
ended December 31, 2009. ETEs earnings attributable to its partners for the year ended December
31, 2010 was impacted by swap termination losses of $66.4 million related to ETEs September 2010
refinancing of its existing credit facilities, one-time transaction costs of $12.8 million, and a
non-cash charge of $52.6 million related to the Regency Transactions as discussed below.
ETEs Distributable Cash Flow, Distributable Cash Flow (excluding realized losses on termination of
interest rate swaps) and net income attributable to its partners for the year ended December 31,
2010 also reflected the impacts from ETEs acquisition of the general partner of Regency Energy
Partners LP (Regency) and the exchange of a portion of the investment in Midcontinent Express
Pipeline (MEP) among ETE and its subsidiaries on May 26, 2010 (the Regency Transactions).
One-time transaction costs of $12.8 million were recorded for the year ended December 31, 2010 in
connection with the Regency Transactions. Also, in connection with the transfer of the investment
in MEP, ETE recorded a non-cash charge of $52.6 million which was reflected in the consolidated
statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2010.
The Partnerships principal sources of cash flow are distributions it receives from its investments
in the limited and general partner interests in ETP and Regency, including 100% of ETPs and
Regencys incentive distribution rights, approximately 50.2 million of ETPs common units and
approximately 26.3 million of Regencys common units. ETE currently
has no operating activities apart from those conducted by ETP and Regency and their operating
subsidiaries. ETEs principal uses of cash are for distributions to its general and limited
partners and preferred unitholders, expenses, debt service and, at ETEs election, capital
contributions to ETP and Regency in respect of ETEs general partner interests in ETP and Regency.
The Partnership has scheduled a conference call for 8:00 a.m. Central Time, Thursday, February 17,
2011 to discuss its 2010 results. The conference call will be broadcast live via an internet web
cast, which can be accessed through www.energytransfer.com and will also be available for replay on
the Partnerships website for a limited time.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release and accompanying schedules include the non-generally accepted accounting
principle (non-GAAP) financial measures of Distributable Cash Flow and Distributable Cash Flow
(excluding realized losses on termination of interest rate swaps). The accompanying schedules
provide a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable
financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. The Partnerships
Distributable Cash Flow and Distributable Cash Flow (excluding realized losses on termination of
interest rate swaps) should not be considered as an alternative to GAAP financial measures such as
net income, cash flow from operating activities or any other GAAP measure of liquidity or financial
performance.
Distributable Cash Flow. The Partnership defines Distributable Cash Flow for a period as
cash distributions expected to be received from ETP and Regency in respect of such period in
connection with the Partnerships investments in limited and general partner interests of ETP and
Regency, net of the Partnerships cash expenditures for general and administrative costs and
interest expense. Distributable Cash Flow is a significant liquidity measure used by the
Partnerships senior management to compare net cash flows generated by the Partnerships equity
investments in ETP and Regency to the distributions the Partnership expects to pay its unitholders.
Using this measure, the Partnerships management can compute the coverage ratio of estimated cash
flows for a period to planned cash distributions for such period.
Distributable Cash Flow is also an important non-GAAP financial measure for our limited partners
since it indicates to investors whether the Partnerships investments are generating cash flows at
a level that can sustain or support an increase in quarterly cash distribution levels. Financial
measures such as Distributable Cash Flow are quantitative standards 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 in turn 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 income for ETE on a stand-alone basis (Parent Company). The accompanying
analysis of Distributable Cash Flow is presented for the three and twelve months ended December 31,
2010 and 2009 for comparative purposes.
Distributable Cash Flow (excluding realized losses on termination of interest rate swaps).
The Partnership defines Distributable Cash Flow (excluding realized losses on termination of
interest rate swaps) for a period as cash distributions expected to be received from ETP and
Regency in respect of such period in connection with the Partnerships investments in limited and
general partner interests of ETP and Regency, net of the Partnerships cash expenditures for
general and administrative costs and interest expense and net of realized losses on termination of
interest rate swaps. Due to the cash cost associated with the termination of
interest rate swaps that occurred during the year ended December 31, 2010 in connection with the
Partnerships issuance of $1.8 billion of 7.5% senior notes due 2020 and related repayment of
$1.592 billion of indebtedness, Distributable Cash Flow (excluding realized losses on termination
of interest rate swaps) is a significant liquidity measure used by the Partnerships senior
management for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010 to compare net cash flows generated by the
Partnerships equity investments in ETP and Regency to the distributions the Partnership expects to
pay its unitholders. Using this measure, the Partnerships management can compute the coverage
ratio of estimated cash flows for a period to planned cash distributions for such period. The GAAP
measure most directly comparable to Distributable Cash Flow (excluding realized losses on
termination of interest rate swaps) is net income (loss) for the Parent Company on a stand-alone
basis. The accompanying analysis of Distributable Cash Flow (excluding realized losses on
termination of interest rate swaps) is presented for the three and twelve months ended December 31,
2010 and 2009 for comparative purposes.
