FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
PAA Natural Gas Storage Reports
Fourth-Quarter and Full-Year 2011 Results
Houston Feb. 8, 2012 PAA Natural Gas Storage, L.P. (NYSE: PNG) today reported net income of $22.0 million, or $0.30 per diluted unit, for the fourth quarter of 2011 and net income of $59.7 million, or $0.85 per diluted unit, for the full year 2011. Net income for the fourth quarter of 2010 was $9.8 million, or $0.22 per diluted unit, and full-year 2010 net income was $29.8 million.
The Partnership reported earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization (EBITDA) of $32.6 million and $98.8 million for the respective fourth-quarter and full-year 2011 periods, compared with EBITDA of $14.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2010 and $51.2 million for the full year 2010.
PNG delivered strong results, which were above the high end of our fourth-quarter and full-year guidance range during a period of challenging market conditions, said Dean Liollio, President of PAA Natural Gas Storage. This strong performance was underpinned by our high percentage of fee-based firm storage revenue and was enhanced through favorable hub service and merchant storage activities. Looking forward, the midpoint of PNGs 2012 adjusted EBITDA guidance represents an increase of approximately 12% over 2011. This projected growth reflects the continued expansion of our storage facilities and a high level of third-party storage contracts for the 2012-2013 storage season.
The Partnerships reported results include items that affect comparability between reporting periods. These items are excluded from adjusted results, as further described in the second table below. Accordingly, the Partnerships fourth-quarter 2011 adjusted net income and adjusted EBITDA were $22.8 million and $33.4 million, respectively, as compared to fourth-quarter 2010 adjusted net income and adjusted EBITDA of $11.3 million and $15.9 million, respectively. The Partnerships adjusted net income per diluted unit for the fourth quarter of 2011 equaled $0.31 compared to $0.25 for the fourth quarter of 2010. The Partnerships adjusted net income and adjusted EBITDA for the full year 2011 were $68.2 million and $107.2 million, respectively, as compared to adjusted net income and adjusted EBITDA for the full year 2010 of $32.4 million and $53.9 million, respectively. The Partnerships adjusted net income per diluted unit for the full year 2011 equaled $0.97. (See the section of this release entitled Non-GAAP and Segment Financial Measures and the tables included with this press release for discussion of adjusted EBITDA and other non-GAAP financial measures, and reconciliations of such measures to the comparable GAAP measures.)

(1) Includes equity compensation expense for all periods presented. The year ended December 31, 2011 includes approximately $4 million of acquisition-related costs incurred during the first quarter of 2011.
Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter and full year of 2011 increased approximately 110% and 99%, respectively, over corresponding 2010 results. These increases were primarily attributable to the acquisition of the Southern Pines facility in February 2011, additional capacity being placed into service at the Pine Prairie facility and increased hub services and commercial optimization revenue.

(1) The GP allocation and per unit information is not applicable for the portion of the 2010 periods preceding the closing of our initial public offering on May 5, 2010.
(2) Includes common units and Series A subordinated units. Series B subordinated units are not entitled to cash distributions unless and until they convert to Series A subordinated units or common units, which conversion is contingent on our meeting both certain distribution levels and certain in-service operational tests at our Pine Prairie facility. As a result, the Series B subordinated units are not included in the calculation of basic or diluted net income per unit amounts.
The Partnerships common units and Series A subordinated units outstanding as of December 31, 2011 totaled 71.1 million. An additional 13.5 million Series B subordinated units (which are not currently entitled to receive distributions) are outstanding and do not convert to Series A subordinated units unless certain performance conditions are met. At December 31, 2011, the Partnership had approximately $322 million of borrowings outstanding on its $450 million unsecured credit agreement.
The Partnership has announced a quarterly distribution of $0.3575 ($1.43 on an annualized basis) per unit payable February 14, 2012 on its outstanding common units and Series A subordinated units. This distribution is equal to the quarterly distribution paid in November 2011, and represents an increase of approximately 3.6% over the quarterly distribution of $0.345 per unit ($1.38 per unit on an annualized basis) paid in February 2011.
Prior to its February 9th conference call, the Partnership will furnish a current report on Form 8-K, which will include material in this press release and financial and operational guidance for the first quarter and full year 2012. A copy of the Form 8-K will be available on the Partnerships website at www.pnglp.com.
Non-GAAP and Segment Financial Measures
In this release, the Partnerships adjusted EBITDA disclosure is not presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and is not intended to be used in lieu of GAAP presentations of net income. Adjusted EBITDA is presented because it is a measure used by management to evaluate segment performance and because we believe it provides additional information with respect to both the performance of our fundamental business activities as well as our ability to meet our future debt service, capital expenditures and working capital requirements. We also believe that adjusted EBITDA is used to assess our operating performance compared to other publicly traded partnerships in the midstream energy industry, without regard to financing methods, capital structure or historical cost basis. In addition, we present selected items that impact the comparability of our operating results as
- more -

additional information that may be helpful to your understanding of our financial results. We consider an understanding of these selected items impacting comparability to be material to our evaluation of our operating results and prospects. Although we present selected items that we consider in evaluating our performance, you should also be aware that the items presented do not represent all items that affect comparability between the periods presented. Variations in our operating results are also caused by changes in volumes, prices, mechanical interruptions, acquisitions and numerous other factors. These types of variations are not separately identified in this release, but will be discussed, as applicable, in managements discussion and analysis of operating results in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.
A reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to net income for the periods presented is included in the tables of this release. In addition, the Partnership maintains on its website (www.pnglp.com) a reconciliation of all non-GAAP financial information, such as adjusted EBITDA, to the most comparable GAAP measures. To access the information, investors should click on the Investor Relations link on the Partnerships home page and then the Non-GAAP Reconciliation link on the Investor Relations page.

Forward Looking Statements
Except for the historical information contained herein, the matters discussed in this release are forward looking statements that involve certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from results anticipated in the forward looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, among other things, significantly reduced volatility in natural gas markets for an extended period of time; factors affecting demand for natural gas and natural gas storage services and the rates we are able to charge for such services, including the balance between the supply and demand for natural gas; our ability to maintain or replace expiring storage contracts, or enter into new storage contracts, in either case at attractive rates and on otherwise favorable terms; factors affecting our ability to realize short term optimization revenues from transactions involving uncontracted or unutilized capacity at our facilities; the effects of competition; the impact of operational and commercial factors that could result in an inability on our part to satisfy our contractual commitments and obligations, including the impact of equipment performance, cavern operating pressures and cavern temperature variances; risks related to the development and operation of natural gas storage facilities; failure to implement or execute planned internal growth projects on a timely basis and within targeted cost projections; the effectiveness of our risk management activities; geologic or other factors that affect the timing or amount of crude oil and other liquid hydrocarbons that we are able to produce in conjunction with the operation of our Bluewater facility; market or other factors that affect the prices we are able to realize for crude oil and other liquid hydrocarbons produced in conjunction with the operation of our Bluewater facility; interruptions in service and fluctuations in tariffs or volumes on third party pipelines; general economic, market or business conditions and the amplification of other risks caused by volatile financial markets, capital constraints and pervasive liquidity concerns; the successful integration and future performance of acquired assets or businesses; our ability to obtain debt or equity financing on satisfactory terms to fund additional acquisitions, expansion projects, working capital requirements and the repayment or refinancing of indebtedness; the impact of current and future laws, rulings, governmental regulations, accounting standards and statements and related interpretations; shortages or cost increases of supplies, materials or labor; weather interference with business operations or project construction; our ability to receive open credit from our suppliers and trade counterparties; continued creditworthiness of, and performance by, our counterparties, including financial institutions and trading companies with which we do business; the availability of, and our ability to consummate, acquisition or combination opportunities; environmental liabilities or events that are not covered by an indemnity, insurance or existing reserves; increased costs or unavailability of insurance; fluctuations in the debt and equity markets, including the price of our units at the time of vesting under our long-term incentive plan; future developments and circumstances at the time distributions are declared; and other factors and uncertainties inherent in the development and operation of natural gas storage facilities discussed in the Partnerships filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Series B subordinated units are not entitled to cash distributions unless and until they convert to Series A subordinated units or common units, which conversion is contingent on our meeting both certain distribution levels and certain in-service operational tests at our Pine Prairie facility. As a result, the Series B subordinated units are not included in the calculation of basic or diluted net income per unit amounts.
(4) Net revenue margin equals total net revenues minus storage related and natural gas sales costs.
(5) Excludes the impact of mark-to-market of open derivative positions.
