INTRODUCTION

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements present the impact on Western Gas Partners, LP’s (collectively with its subsidiaries, the “Partnership”) results of operations and financial position attributable to the acquisition of certain midstream assets from affiliates of Anadarko Petroleum Corporation pursuant to the Contribution Agreement dated as of December 15, 2011 (the “MGR Contribution Agreement”), with an effective date for accounting purposes of January 1, 2012. The Partnership’s general partner is Western Gas Holdings, LLC (the “general partner” or “GP”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Anadarko Petroleum Corporation. “Anadarko” or “Parent” refers to Anadarko Petroleum Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries, excluding the Partnership and the general partner; and “affiliates” refers to wholly owned and partially owned subsidiaries of Anadarko, excluding the Partnership.

Pursuant to the MGR Contribution Agreement, the Partnership acquired a 100% ownership interest in Mountain Gas Resources, LLC, which owns the Red Desert Complex (“Red Desert”), a 22% interest in Rendezvous Gas Services, LLC (“Rendezvous”) and certain additional midstream assets and equipment. Red Desert, located in the greater Green River Basin in southwestern Wyoming, includes the Patrick Draw processing plant, the Red Desert processing plant, 1,295 miles of gathering lines and related facilities. Rendezvous owns a 338-mile mainline gathering system serving the Jonah and Pinedale Anticline fields in southwestern Wyoming, which delivers gas to the Granger complex and other locations. The acquired assets are referred to collectively as the “MGR assets” or “MGR,” and the acquisition is referred to as the “MGR acquisition.”

The contribution of the MGR assets to the Partnership was recorded at Anadarko’s historical cost as this transaction is considered a reorganization of entities under common control. After the acquisition of assets from Anadarko, the Partnership is required to revise its financial statements to include the activities of the acquired assets as of the date of common control.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2011, and the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2011, are based upon the historical consolidated financial statements of the Partnership, as presented in the Partnership’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, and the historical financial statements of the MGR assets, as presented in Exhibit 99.1 of this Current Report on Form 8-K/A. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2011, has been prepared as if the MGR acquisition occurred on January 1, 2011. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet has been prepared as if the MGR acquisition occurred on December 31, 2011. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared based on the assumption that the Partnership will continue to be treated as a partnership for U.S. federal and state income tax purposes and therefore will not be subject to U.S. federal income taxes and state income taxes, except for the Texas margin tax. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements have also been prepared based on certain pro forma adjustments as described in Note 2. Pro Forma Adjustments.

The audited historical financial statements of the MGR assets as set forth in Exhibit 99.1 of this Current Report on Form 8-K/A as of and for the year ended December 31, 2011, and the Partnership’s audited historical consolidated financial statements as set forth in its Form 10-K as of and for the year ended December 31, 2011, as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, are qualified in their entirety by reference to such historical financial statements and related notes contained in those reports. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements and related notes thereto.

INTRODUCTION (CONTINUED)

 

The pro forma adjustments reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are based upon currently available information and certain assumptions and estimates; therefore, the actual effects of these transactions will differ from the pro forma adjustments. However, the Partnership’s management considers the applied estimates and assumptions to provide a reasonable basis for the presentation of the significant effects of certain transactions that are expected to have a continuing impact on the Partnership. In addition, the Partnership’s management considers the pro forma adjustments to be factually supportable and to appropriately represent the expected impact of items that are directly attributable to the transfer of the MGR assets to the Partnership.

The pro forma adjustments included in the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the MGR acquisition, including the following significant transactions:

 

   

the Partnership’s $299.0 million of borrowings under its revolving credit facility to partially finance the MGR acquisition;

 

   

the Partnership’s use of $159.6 million of cash-on-hand to fund a portion of the cash consideration paid to Anadarko for the MGR acquisition;

 

   

the Partnership’s issuance of 632,783 common units and 12,914 general partner units to Anadarko in connection with the MGR acquisition; and

 

   

Anadarko’s contribution of the MGR assets to the Partnership.

From and after the closing of the MGR acquisition and related transactions, the MGR assets will be subject to the terms and conditions of various agreements between the Partnership and Anadarko, including the following:

 

   

an omnibus agreement that provides for certain indemnifications, reimbursement for expenses paid by Anadarko on behalf of the Partnership and compensation to Anadarko for providing the Partnership with certain general and administrative services and insurance coverage;

 

   

a services and secondment agreement pursuant to which specified employees of Anadarko are seconded to the general partner to provide operating, routine maintenance and other services with respect to the assets owned and operated by the Partnership under the direction, supervision and control of the general partner;

 

   

a tax sharing agreement pursuant to which the Partnership will reimburse Anadarko for the Partnership’s estimated share of Texas margin tax borne by Anadarko as a result of the MGR assets’ financial results being included in a combined or consolidated tax return filed by Anadarko with respect to periods subsequent to January 1, 2012;

 

   

a subsidiary guarantor agreement of partnership debt, from and after the closing of the MGR acquisition, MGR will be a subsidiary guarantor of (i) the Partnership’s $500 million in senior unsecured notes, and (ii) obligations created under the Partnership’s $800 million revolving credit facility; and

 

   

other routine agreements with Anadarko or its subsidiaries that arise in the ordinary course of business for gathering, processing, treating, transportation and compression services and other operational matters.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the results that would have occurred if the Partnership had acquired the MGR assets on the dates indicated nor are they indicative of the future operating results of the Partnership.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are based upon the audited historical consolidated financial statements of the Partnership and the audited historical financial statements of the MGR assets. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements present the impact of the MGR acquisition, which is described in the Introduction, on the Partnership’s results of operations and financial position. The contribution of the MGR assets to the Partnership was recorded at Anadarko’s historical cost as this transaction is considered a reorganization of entities under common control.

2. PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS

The following adjustments for the Partnership have been prepared (i) as if the MGR acquisition occurred on January 1, 2011, in the case of the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2011, and (ii) as if the MGR acquisition occurred on December 31, 2011, in the case of the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2011:

 

  a) The elimination of intercompany gathering revenue and cost of product between the Partnership and the MGR assets;

 

  b) The elimination of transaction costs included in the historical financial statements of the Partnership which are directly related to the MGR acquisition;

 

  c) The elimination of historical interest income, net resulting from the non-cash settlement of receivables and payables from or owed to Anadarko prior to the acquisition of the MGR assets;

 

  d) The inclusion of interest expense on the Partnership’s $299.0 million of borrowings under the Partnership’s revolving credit facility, which bears interest at a variable rate, to partially finance the MGR acquisition;

 

  e) The elimination of historical current and deferred income taxes, as the Partnership is generally not subject to federal and state income taxes, other than Texas margin tax. Texas margin taxes that continue to be borne by the Partnership on the portion of the Partnership’s pro forma income that is allocable to Texas, have not been eliminated;

 

  f) The acquisition of the MGR assets by the Partnership, including the payment of $458.6 million of cash (representing $159.6 million of cash on hand and $299.0 million borrowed under its revolving credit facility) and the issuance of 632,783 common units and 12,914 general partner units to Anadarko. The excess of cash consideration paid over the historical net book value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recorded as a decrease to partners’ capital for the common unitholders and the general partner.

In connection with the MGR acquisition, the Partnership entered into 10-year, fee-based gathering and processing agreements with Anadarko effective on December 1, 2011 for all affiliate throughput on the MGR assets. Also, in connection with the MGR acquisition, the Partnership entered into commodity price swap agreements with Anadarko, each agreement effective for one year, beginning January 1, 2012, and extending through December 31, 2016, to mitigate exposure to commodity price volatility that would otherwise be present as a result of the Partnership’s acquisition of the MGR assets. The impact of the fee-based gathering agreements and the commodity price swap agreements is not reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements.

3. PRO FORMA NET INCOME PER UNIT

Earnings per unit is calculated based on the assumption that the Partnership distributes to its unitholders an amount of cash equal to net income attributable to Western Gas Partners, LP, notwithstanding the general partner’s ultimate discretion over the amount of cash to be distributed for the period, the existence of other legal or contractual limitations that would prevent distributions of all of the net income for the period or any other economic or practical limitation on the ability to make a full distribution of all of the net income for the period. Earnings per unit is calculated by applying the provisions of the partnership agreement that govern actual cash distributions to the notional cash distribution amount, including giving effect to incentive distributions, when applicable. The allocation of undistributed earnings, or net income attributable to Western Gas Partners, LP in excess of distributions, to the incentive distribution rights is limited to available cash (as defined by the partnership agreement) for the period.

From its inception through June 30, 2011, the Partnership paid equal distributions per unit on common, subordinated and general partner units. Upon payment of the cash distribution for the second quarter of 2011, the financial requirements for the conversion of all subordinated units were satisfied. As a result, the 26,536,306 subordinated units were converted on August 15, 2011, on a one-for-one basis, into common units. For purposes of calculating net income per common and subordinated unit, the conversion of the subordinated units is deemed to have occurred on July 1, 2011. The Partnership’s net income was allocated to the general partner and the limited partners, including the holders of the subordinated units, through June 30, 2011, in accordance with their respective ownership percentages. The conversion does not impact the amount of the cash distribution paid or the total number of the Partnership’s outstanding units representing limited partner interests.

For purposes of calculating pro forma net income per unit, management assumed that annual pro forma cash distributions were equal to annual pro forma earnings. Pro forma basic and diluted net income per unit is calculated by dividing the limited partners’ interest in net income by the number of units outstanding as of December 31, 2011. The pro forma weighted average number of common units and general partner units outstanding are based on the weighted average number of units outstanding during the year ended December 31, 2011, adjusted to give effect to the common units and general partner units issued in connection with the MGR acquisition as if such units were issued on January 1, 2011.

Pursuant to the limited partnership agreement, to the extent that the quarterly distributions exceed certain targets, the general partner is entitled to receive certain incentive distributions that will result in more net income being proportionately allocated to the general partner than to the holders of common and subordinated units. The pro forma net income per unit would have been sufficient to generate incentive distribution payments to our general partner and the effect of such incentive distributions are reflected in the pro forma net income per unit for the year ended December 31, 2011. However, because (i) the partnership agreement requires the Partnership to distribute available cash rather than the earnings reflected in the Partnership’s income statement and (ii) the pro forma net income per unit calculation has been prepared on a year-to-date basis in lieu of a quarterly basis, actual cash distributions declared and paid by the Partnership may vary significantly from reported pro forma net income per unit.

Immediately subsequent to the MGR acquisition, Anadarko held 1,852,527 general partner units, representing a 2.0% general partner interest in the Partnership, 100% of the Partnership incentive distribution rights and 40,422,004 common units, representing an aggregate 43.6% limited partner interest in the Partnership. The public held 50,351,778 common units, representing a 54.4% limited partner interest in the Partnership.
