CROSSTEX ENERGY REPORTS THIRD-QUARTER 2011 RESULTS

DALLAS, November 4, 2011 --- The Crosstex Energy companies, Crosstex Energy, L.P. (NASDAQ:XTEX) (the Partnership) and Crosstex Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ:XTXI) (the Corporation), today reported results for the third-quarter 2011.

Third-Quarter 2011 Compared with Third- Quarter 2010 — Crosstex Energy, L.P. Financial Results

The Partnership realized adjusted EBITDA of $50.1 million and distributable cash flow of $25.8 million for the third quarter of 2011, compared with adjusted EBITDA of $47.8 million and distributable cash flow of $22.6 million for the third quarter of 2010. Adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow are non-GAAP financial measures and are explained in greater detail under “Non-GAAP Financial Information.” There is a reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to net income (loss) in the tables at the end of this news release.

The Partnership reported a net loss of $2.7 million for the third quarter of 2011 versus a net loss of $3.7 million for the third quarter of 2010.

“We completed a solid quarter with year over year growth despite several operational challenges which impacted our results,” said Barry E. Davis, Crosstex President and Chief Executive Officer. “We’ve taken strategic steps to enter into three new operating areas with projects that complement and expand upon our existing operations. We are confident that we can deliver long-term sustainable growth and shareholder value through successful execution of our strategy.”

The Partnership’s third-quarter 2011 gross operating margin of $91.0 million increased $7.4 million above gross operating margin for the third quarter of 2010. The increase was due to a favorable processing environment and higher gathering and processing volumes in north Texas in the current quarter. Gross operating margin is a non-GAAP financial measure and is explained in greater detail under “Non-GAAP Financial Information.” There is a reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure to operating income in the tables at the end of this news release.

The Partnership reports results by operating segment principally based on regions served. Reportable segments consist of the natural gas gathering, processing and transmission operations in the Barnett Shale in north Texas and in the Permian Basin in west Texas (NTX); the pipelines and processing plants in Louisiana (LIG); and the south Louisiana processing and natural gas liquids (NGL) assets, including NGL fractionation and marketing activities (PNGL).

Each business segment’s contribution to the increase in the third-quarter 2011 gross operating margin as compared to the third-quarter 2010, and the factors affecting those contributions, are described below:

·                  The LIG segment’s gross operating margin increased $4.0 million, primarily the result of the continued strength of the processing environment.

·                  The NTX segment’s gross operating margin improved by $3.6 million. The positive impact of increased gathering and transmission volumes, higher processed volumes and the favorable processing environment was partially offset by increased losses on a certain long-term delivery contract for the third quarter of 2011.

·                  The PNGL segment’s gross operating margin declined $0.2 million. Increased plant processing margins were offset by reduced margins from NGL fractionation and marketing activity during the quarter.

The Partnership’s third-quarter 2011 operating expenses of $28.1 million rose $1.7 million, or six percent, from the third quarter of 2010.  The increase was primarily the result of higher labor and benefit expenses. General and administrative expenses rose $2.4 million, or 21 percent, versus the third quarter of 2010 largely due to higher labor and benefit expenses and professional fees and services costs in addition to increased bad debt expense related to uncollectible gathering fees related to a particular customer. Depreciation and amortization expense for the third quarter of 2011 rose $3.7 million, or 13 percent, compared with the third quarter of 2010 primarily due to increased amortization of intangibles. Interest expense decreased to $19.5 million for the third quarter of 2011 from $20.3 million for the third quarter of 2010 primarily due to lower senior note interest and amortization of debt issue costs.

The net loss per limited partner common unit for the third quarter of 2011 was $0.14 compared with a net loss of $0.13 per common unit for the third quarter of 2010.

Third-Quarter 2011 Compared with Second-Quarter 2011 — Crosstex Energy, L.P. Financial Results

The Partnership’s adjusted EBITDA was $50.1 million for the third quarter of 2011 and distributable cash flow was $25.8 million, declines of $5.3 million and $7.1 million, respectively, versus the second quarter of 2011. The declines were primarily the result of a $5.6 million decrease in gross operating margin to $91.0 million versus the second-quarter 2011 gross operating margin of $96.6 million. The major contributors to the gross operating margin decline were within the PNGL segment. These included decreased volumes at the Pelican gas processing plant due to rerouting of a Gulf of Mexico pipeline connection; a decline in volumes at the Blue Water processing plant because the plant was idled for repairs during the quarter; a reduction in volumes processed at the Eunice processing plant due to increased levels of CO2 in the processing stream; and the reduction in NGL fractionation and marketing margins caused by these reductions in processed volumes. The Partnership anticipates these issues will be resolved during the first quarter of 2012.

Third-Quarter 2011 Compared with Third- Quarter 2010 — Crosstex Energy, Inc. Financial Results

The Corporation reported a net loss of $1.6 million for the third quarter of 2011 compared with a net loss of $2.0 million for the third quarter of 2010.

On a stand-alone basis, the Corporation had cash on hand of approximately $5.5 million and no debt as of the end of the third quarter of 2011.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

This press release contains non-generally accepted accounting principle financial measures that the Partnership refers to as gross operating margin, adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow. Gross operating margin is defined as revenue minus the cost of purchased gas and NGLs. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income plus interest expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense, impairments, stock-based compensation, loss on extinguishment of debt, (gain) loss on noncash derivatives, transaction costs associated with successful transactions and minority interest; less gain on sale of property. Distributable cash flow is defined as earnings before certain noncash charges and the gain on the sale of assets less maintenance capital expenditures. The amounts included in the calculation of these measures are computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) with the exception of maintenance capital expenditures.  Maintenance capital expenditures are capital expenditures made to replace partially or fully depreciated assets in order to maintain the existing operating capacity of the assets and to extend their useful lives.

The Partnership believes these measures are useful to investors because they may provide users of this financial information with meaningful comparisons between current results and prior-reported results and a meaningful measure of the Partnership’s cash flow after it has satisfied the capital and related requirements of its operations.

Gross operating margin, adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow, as defined above, are not measures of financial performance or liquidity under GAAP. They should not be considered in isolation or as an indicator of the Partnership’s performance. Furthermore, they should not be seen as measures of liquidity or a substitute for metrics prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of these measures to net income (loss) is included among the following tables.
