SemGroup Corporation Reports First Quarter 2013 Results
Announces Initial Quarterly Dividend of $0.19 Per Share

Tulsa, OK - May 8, 2013 - SemGroup® Corporation (NYSE: SEMG) (SemGroup) today announced its financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and the board of directors of SemGroup has also declared a quarterly cash dividend to common shareholders of $0.19 per share. Initiated in the second quarter of 2013, this equates to $0.76 per share annually. The company is targeting a 10% increase in dividends paid in 2013 and anticipates a double-digit annual dividend growth rate for the next three years. The dividend will be paid on May 30, 2013 to all common shareholders of record on May 20, 2013.

"We're off to a solid start in 2013 and pleased to be offering a cash dividend to our shareholders. This dividend complements our continued growth story and is an important part of our commitment to shareholders," said Norm Szydlowski, president and chief executive officer of SemGroup. "We are excited about our growth opportunities, most notably our recently announced agreement to acquire Chesapeake's gas gathering and processing assets in the Mississippi Lime play. These new assets will increase our size and strategic position in the area and help us create additional value for our shareholders."

SemGroup's adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (Adjusted EBITDA) was $35.5 million for the first quarter 2013, compared to $43.7 million for the fourth quarter 2012 and $28.1 million for the first quarter 2012, a decrease of 19% and an increase of 26%, respectively. Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP measure, is reconciled to net income below.
First Quarter Highlights
On January 11, 2013, Rose Rock Midstream acquired a 33.3% interest in SemCrude Pipeline, L.L.C., which owns 51% of White Cliffs Pipeline, L.L.C.;
Crude marketing margins increased due to improved crude oil market conditions;
SemGas margins increased due to higher NGL prices, although volumes were down modestly;
SemCAMS saw a decrease in Adjusted EBITDA due primarily to timing of maintenance capital recovery fees as compared to the prior quarter and a decrease in volumes was driven by an unplanned shutdown at the K3 plant; and
SemMaterials Mexico experienced lower demand in the first quarter due to a decrease in government spending resulting from the change in administration.

SemGroup reported revenues for first quarter 2013 of $287.7 million with net income attributable to SemGroup of $43.4 million, or a $1.03 per diluted share, compared to revenues of $315.8 million with a net income attributable to SemGroup of $21.1 million, or $0.50 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter 2012. For the first quarter 2012, revenues totaled $312.0 million with net loss of $1.4 million, or a loss of $0.03 per diluted share. Net income for the first quarter of 2013 was positively impacted by an income tax benefit of $54 million due to the release of a valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets. Net income was negatively affected by a non-cash expense of $25.8 million related to a change in the fair value of warrants.

2013 Guidance
SemGroup reaffirms 2013 consolidated Adjusted EBITDA guidance of $165 million to $175 million, an increase of approximately 25% over 2012 results of $135 million. The company is on track to spend $400 million in capital investments in 2013, excluding the capital spending related to the proposed acquisition of Chesapeake's Mississippi Lime gas gathering and processing assets.

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 our performance. 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, thereby diminishing its utility. Reconciliations of net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA for the periods presented are included in the tables at the end of this Press Release.
