Crestwood Announces Updated Guidance for Full Year 2012 Results

HOUSTON, TEXAS, July 23, 2012 – Crestwood Midstream Partners LP (NYSE: CMLP) (“Crestwood”) announced today that for the full year 2012, adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and accretion (“Adjusted EBITDA”) is expected to be in the range of $125 million to $130 million, compared to previous guidance of $135 million to $140 million. Gathering volumes for the full year 2012 are expected to be in a range of 575 to 625 million cubic feet per day (“MMcf/d”) and capital spending continues to be estimated at approximately $30 million, excluding acquisitions. The revised estimates include expected second quarter 2012 results that were impacted by delays in well completions and moderated drilling activity in dry gas areas for the remainder of the year. The revised guidance also includes nine months of contribution from the Marcellus Shale assets acquired through our joint venture at the end of the first quarter 2012, and the expected closing of the gathering and processing assets located in the liquids-rich area of the Barnett Shale to be acquired from certain subsidiaries of Devon Energy Corporation, for $90 million in the third quarter 2012.

“Although we have reduced the mid-point of our current Adjusted EBITDA guidance range by 7% from previous estimates, we continue to execute on our strategy to diversify our business,” stated Robert G. Phillips, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Crestwood’s general partner. “The acquisition we announced earlier today to acquire additional gathering and processing assets in the liquids-rich area of the Barnett Shale represents an excellent bolt-on to our existing system and partially offsets the impact of reduced drilling activity in dry gas areas that is occurring throughout the industry. The acquisition, which is anticipated to close in the third quarter 2012, is expected to be immediately accretive to cash flow. Given the combined impact of this acquisition with our joint venture in the Marcellus Shale that was completed at the end of the first quarter 2012, and performance from our existing systems, we expect distribution growth for the full year 2012 to be approximately 8% over 2011.”

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-generally accepted accounting principles (“non-GAAP”) financial measure. The accompanying schedule of this news release provides a reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure to its most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Our non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as alternatives to GAAP measures such as net income or operating income or any other GAAP measure of liquidity or financial performance.
