SemGroup Corporation Reports Second Quarter 2012 Results

Second Quarter Adjusted EBITDA Increased 4.9% and

Net Income Increased $6.5 Million Over Previous Quarter

Tulsa, OK – August 8, 2012—SemGroup® Corporation (NYSE: SEMG) (“SemGroup”) today announced its financial results for the three months ended June 30, 2012.

SemGroup’s adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”) was $30.0 million for the second quarter 2012, compared to $28.6 million for the previous quarter and $28.9 million for the second quarter 2011. Key factors impacting our results over the prior quarter included a 13% increase in volumes at White Cliffs Pipeline, a full quarter’s benefit of our 1.95 million barrel storage expansion in Cushing and the impact of major plant turn around at SemCAMS. This was partially offset by lower natural gas and natural gas liquids prices affecting our SemGas business, along with decreased utilization in our SemLogistics facility. Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP measure, is defined and reconciled to net income below.

Management is maintaining the company’s 2012 Adjusted EBITDA guidance of $125 to $135 million. However, we anticipate being at the lower end due to low natural gas and natural gas liquids prices as well as ongoing challenges in the European storage market. We expect this to be partially offset by a strong performance in our crude segment. The company is maintaining its capital expenditure guidance of $180 million for 2012.

SemGroup reported revenues for second quarter 2012 of $334.2 million with net income attributable to SemGroup of $5.1 million, or $0.12 per share, compared to revenues of $317.7 million with net loss attributable to SemGroup of $1.4 million, or loss of $0.03 per share for the previous quarter. For the second quarter 2011, revenues totaled $344.2 million with net loss of $12.3 million, or loss of $0.30 per share.

“Demand is increasing for midstream services as North American production continues to grow,” said Norm Szydlowski, president and chief executive officer of SemGroup. “We are well positioned to meet this growing need for storage, transportation and processing in our key growth areas and continue to increase our presence in these locations with projects like the previously announced Glass Mountain Pipeline and Wattenberg Oil Trunkline,” said Szydlowski. “We continue to execute on our long-term strategic growth plans, focused on infrastructure demands in the midcontinent.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted EBITDA is not a generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) measure and is not intended to be used in lieu of a GAAP presentation of net income/loss. Adjusted EBITDA is presented in this Press Release because SemGroup believes it provides additional information with respect to its financial performance and its ability to meet future debt service, capital expenditures and working capital requirements. Adjusted EBITDA represents earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, adjusted for selected items that SemGroup believes impact the comparability of financial results between reporting periods. Although SemGroup presents selected items that it considers in evaluating its performance, you should also be aware that the items presented do not represent all items that affect comparability between the periods presented. Variations in SemGroup’s operating results are also caused by changes in volumes, prices, exchange rates, mechanical interruptions and numerous other factors. These types of variances are not separately identified in this Press Release. Because all companies do not use identical calculations, SemGroup’s presentation of Adjusted EBITDA may be different from similarly titled measures of other companies. Reconciliations of net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA for the periods presented are included in the tables at the end of this Press Release.
