El Paso Corporation Reports Fourth Quarter and Full-Year Financial Results; Continues Outstanding Performance
HOUSTON, TEXAS, February 24, 2011El Paso Corporation (NYSE:EP) is today reporting fourth quarter
and full-year 2010 financial and operational results for the company. Key highlights include:
| $0.20 adjusted diluted EPS for fourth quarter 2010 | ||
| Three pipeline projects placed in-service in the fourth quarter 2010, on-time and collectively 25 percent under budget | ||
| Fourth quarter oil and natural gas production up 7 percent to 795 MMcfe/d, including Four Star Oil and Gas Company (Four Star) unconsolidated affiliate volumes | ||
| $0.98 adjusted diluted EPS for full year 2010 | ||
| $1.8 billion cash flow from operations in 2010 |
We believe that 2010 ranks as one of El Pasos best years ever, said Doug Foshee, chairman,
president, and chief executive officer of El Paso Corporation. We delivered full-year financial
results at the high end of our targeted range and had solid execution in each of our business units
as well as the funding of our capital program. But more importantly, we believe that delivering
on our 2011 goals will result in another excellent year of stock performance for our shareholders.

Financial Results Fourth Quarter 2010
For the fourth quarter 2010, El Paso reported net income attributable to EPC common stockholders of
$62 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, compared with net income of $265 million, or $0.36 per
diluted share, for the fourth quarter 2009. Earnings for fourth quarter 2010 and 2009, after
adjusting for impacts of E&P financial derivatives and other items, were $0.20 and $0.34 per
diluted share, respectively. The reduction in adjusted diluted earnings per share was primarily
the result of lower realized commodity prices ($0.10 per diluted share) and performance-related
benefit expense ($0.02 per diluted share).

Financial Results Full Year 2010
For the 12 months ended December 31, 2010, El Paso reported net income attributable to EPC common
stockholders of $721 million, or $1.00 per diluted share, compared with a net loss of $576 million,
or $0.83 per diluted share, for full year 2009. Earnings for 2010 and 2009, after adjusting for
impacts of E&P financial derivatives and other items, were $0.98 and $1.29 per diluted share,
respectively. The reduction in adjusted diluted earnings per share was primarily the result of
lower realized commodity prices.

Pipeline Group
The Pipeline Groups EBIT for the quarter ended December 31, 2010 was $374 million, compared with
$367 million for the same period in 2009. Fourth quarter 2010 results benefited from numerous
expansion projects that went into service during 2010 and at the end of 2009 and were also
favorably impacted by an increase in allowance for funds used during construction (AFUDC) on
expansion projects that are not yet in service, principally the Ruby pipeline. Offsetting these
items was an increase in noncontrolling interests as a result of contributing assets to El Paso
Pipeline Partners, and a decline in revenues from the El Paso Natural Gas (EPNG) and Tennessee Gas
Pipeline (TGP) systems. EPNG revenues on recontracted capacity were negatively impacted by several
factors, including lower basis differentials, decreased end-user demand in the southwest, and
increased competition in certain markets. TGP revenues declined primarily due to lower retained
fuel volumes as a result of the shift in flow patterns and lower operational sales.
Fourth quarter 2010 pipeline throughput is essentially flat with fourth quarter 2009 levels after
eliminating throughput associated with the Mexican pipeline assets that were sold in April 2010.
Pipeline Backlog Execution Update
The Pipeline Group expects to place five major projects in service in 2011. The Ruby pipeline
project continues to advance with approximately 85 percent of the pipe welded and the four spreads
in the eastern portion of the route very nearly complete. The range of cost and timing for the
start up for the project has tightened due to the progress to date, and there is greater clarity
around the impacts of weather, the timing of obtaining additional regulatory clearances, and the
ability to access certain sections of the route during specific windows that have been established
to protect wildlife. In order to avoid interference with the sage grouse during its mating season
in isolated portions of the route in western Nevada, construction will be shut down in this area
from March 1 to May 15. Ruby has updated its cost and schedule estimates and now expects the
project to be completed at a cost of approximately $3.55 billion and be placed in-service in July
2011.
The remaining 2011 projects in the pipeline expansion backlog, which include FGT Phase VIII, Gulf
LNG, Phase II of SNGs South System III expansion, and the TGP 300 Line, remain on-time and
on-budget.

Exploration and Production
The Exploration and Production segment reported an EBIT loss of $27 million for the quarter ended
December 31, 2010, compared with EBIT of $187 million for the same period in 2009. The primary
causes of the decline in EBIT were changes in the mark-to-market impact of financial derivatives
and lower realized commodity prices, partially offset by increased production. In addition, fourth
quarter 2010 EBIT included $9 million of non-cash ceiling test charges related to a dry hole and
acreage relinquishments in Egypt. Fourth quarter 2009 EBIT included $38 million of non-cash
ceiling test charges related to the companys Brazilian and Egyptian full cost pools and a $9
million non-cash impairment of a domestic processing plant.
Fourth quarter 2010 production volumes averaged 795 MMcfe/d, including 63 MMcfe/d of Four Star
unconsolidated affiliate volumes, representing an increase of 53 MMcfe/d, or 7 percent, from fourth
quarter 2009 production volumes. Higher production volumes in the fourth quarter 2010 reflect
substantial growth from the companys core programs, particularly the Haynesville shale. Total
per-unit cash operating costs averaged $1.84 per Mcfe in fourth quarter 2010, up slightly from
$1.81 per Mcfe for the same period in 2009. The increase in per-unit cash costs from fourth
quarter 2009 is the result of higher production taxes. This additional tax expense was
substantially mitigated by lower direct lifting costs and reduced administrative expenses.
The Exploration and Production segment continues to advance its core drilling programs with an
increasing capital focus on oil-directed drilling in the Eagle Ford, Altamont, and Wolfcamp areas.

Hedge Positions
El Paso actively manages its exposure to commodity prices using various hedging strategies. The
company recently increased its oil price protection for 2012 by raising the amount of hedged
volumes from 2.2 million barrels to 4.9 million barrels and increasing the average floor price from
$90.00 to $91.31. A summary of natural gas and oil hedge positions can be found in the Fourth
Quarter 2010 Financial & Operational Reporting Package at www.elpaso.com in the Investors section
or in El Pasos 2010 Form 10-K.
Other Operations
Marketing
The
Marketing segment reported an EBIT loss of $6 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2010, compared with an EBIT loss of $14 million for the same period in
2009. The improvement in fourth quarter results from 2009 to 2010 was
largely due to a $2 million loss in the fair value of natural gas derivatives in 2010, versus a $7 million loss for the same period in 2009.
Corporate and Other
During the fourth quarter of 2010, Corporate and Other reported EBIT of $22 million, compared with
$4 million for the same period in 2009. Fourth quarter 2010 results include a $110 million gain on
the sale of a 50 percent interest in a newly formed Midstream joint venture and $40 million of
income from the receipt of funds that were previously escrowed and expensed following a merger.
This income was partially offset by a $113 million loss on debt extinguishment associated with the
repurchase of $709 million of Senior Notes with varying maturities from 2011 through 2016.
Detailed financial and operational information for the company will be posted at www.elpaso.com in
the Investors section.

Disclosure of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Securities and Exchange Commissions Regulation G applies to any public disclosure or release
of material information that includes a non-GAAP financial measure. In the event of such a
disclosure or release, Regulation G requires (i) the presentation of the most directly comparable
financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP and (ii) a reconciliation of the
differences between the non-GAAP financial measure presented and the most directly comparable
financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. The required presentations and
reconciliations are attached, or included in the body of this release. Additional detail regarding
non-GAAP financial measures can be reviewed in El Pasos Financial and Operational Reporting
Package, which will be posted at www.elpaso.com in the Investors section.
El Paso uses the non-GAAP financial measure earnings before interest expense and income taxes or
EBIT to assess the operating results and effectiveness of the company and its business segments,
which consist of both consolidated businesses and investments in unconsolidated affiliates. The
company believes that EBIT is useful to its investors because it allows them to evaluate more
effectively the performance of all El Pasos businesses and investments using the same performance
measure analyzed internally by our management and so that our investors may evaluate the companys
operating results without regard to its financing methods or capital structure. The company
defines EBIT as net income (loss) adjusted for items such as (i) interest and debt expense; (ii)
income taxes; and (iii) net income attributable to noncontrolling interests.
Adjusted EPS is defined as diluted earnings per share adjusted for certain items that we consider
to be significant to understanding our underlying performance for a given period.
Adjusted EPS is useful in analyzing the companys on-going earnings potential and understanding
certain significant items impacting the comparability of our results. For 2010, Adjusted EPS is
earnings per share attributable to El Paso Corporation common stockholders adjusted for the impact
of E&P financial derivatives, and excluding ceiling test charges, changes in legacy derivative
contracts and other legacy items, the gain on the sale of Mexican pipeline assets, the gain on
Midstream joint venture, the loss on debt extinguishment, the impact of health care legislation,
and a tax benefit from liquidation of foreign entities. For 2009, Adjusted EPS is earnings per
share attributable to El Paso Corporation common stockholders adjusted for the impact of E&P
financial derivatives, and excluding ceiling test charges, changes in legacy derivative contracts
and other legacy items, the loss on sale of notes receivable relating to the Porto Velho sale, tax
benefit from liquidation of foreign entities, restructuring costs and the effect of the change in
the number of diluted shares.
Exploration and Production per-unit total cash operating costs is a non-GAAP measure calculated on
a per Mcfe basis equal to total operating expenses less DD&A, transportation costs, costs of
products and services, and ceiling test charges and other impairment divided by total consolidated
equivalent production. It is a valuable measure used by oil and gas companies and analysts to
evaluate operating performance and efficiency.
El Paso believes that the non-GAAP financial measures described above are also useful to investors
because these measurements are used by many companies in the industry as a measurement of operating
and financial performance and are commonly employed by financial analysts and others to evaluate
the operating and financial performance of the company and its business segments and to compare it
with the performance of other companies within the industry. These non-GAAP financial measures may
not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies and should not be used as a
substitute for net income, earnings per share or other measures of financial performance presented
in accordance with GAAP.
El Paso Corporation provides natural gas and related energy products in a safe, efficient, and
dependable manner. The company owns North Americas largest interstate natural gas pipeline
system, one of North Americas largest independent oil and natural gas producers and an emerging
midstream business. For more information, visit www.elpaso.com.
