WESTERN GAS ANNOUNCES

SECOND-QUARTER 2013 RESULTS

HOUSTON, July 31, 2013 – Western Gas Partners, LP (NYSE: WES) (“WES”) and Western Gas Equity Partners, LP (NYSE: WGP) (“WGP”) today announced second-quarter 2013 financial and operating results.

WESTERN GAS PARTNERS, LP

Net income available to limited partners for the second quarter of 2013, totaled $44.8 million, or
$0.41 per common unit (diluted). For the second quarter of 2013, Adjusted EBITDA ⁽¹⁾ was $107.6 million and Distributable cash flow ⁽¹⁾ was $89.8 million, resulting in a Coverage ratio ⁽¹⁾ of 1.13 times for the period.

Total throughput attributable to WES for the second quarter of 2013 averaged 3.1 Bcf/d, which was 8% above the prior quarter and 15% above the second quarter of 2012 ⁽²⁾. Excluding acquisitions, capital expenditures attributable to WES on a cash basis totaled $169.5 million during the second quarter of 2013. Of this amount, maintenance capital expenditures were $6.2 million, or 6% of Adjusted EBITDA ⁽¹⁾. Capital expenditures attributable to WES on an accrual basis and excluding acquisitions totaled $135.5 million during the second quarter of 2013.

“Our second quarter fully met our expectations,” said President and Chief Executive Officer, Don Sinclair. “With strong sequential throughput growth in our liquids-rich areas, as well as the Marcellus, the start-up of our Brasada plant in June, and the commencement of our recently-announced capital projects, 2013 is shaping up to be a very exciting year. We continue to maintain the full-year 2013 EBITDA guidance that we released in February, while we will be revising the total capital expenditure guidance to reflect the new projects.”

⁽¹⁾	Please see the tables at the end of this release for a reconciliation of non-GAAP to GAAP measures and calculation of the Coverage ratio.

⁽²⁾

These results include the net throughput attributable to the 33.75% interest in certain third-party operated Marcellus gathering assets acquired from Anadarko (the “Non-Operated Marcellus Interest”) for all periods of comparison, throughput attributable to the additional Chipeta interest beginning in August 2012, and throughput attributable to the 33.75% interest in certain Anadarko-Operated Marcellus gathering assets acquired from a third party (the “Anadarko-Operated Marcellus Interest”) beginning in March 2013.

WES previously declared a quarterly distribution of $0.56 per unit for the second quarter of 2013, representing a 4% increase over the prior quarter and a 17% increase over the second-quarter 2012 distribution of $0.48 per unit. The distribution will be paid on August 12, 2013, to unitholders of record at the close of business on July 31, 2013. The second-quarter 2013 Coverage ratio ⁽¹⁾ of 1.13 times is based on the quarterly distribution of $0.56 per unit.

WESTERN GAS EQUITY PARTNERS, LP

As of June 30, 2013, WGP indirectly owned the 2% general partner interest and 100% of the incentive distribution rights in WES and 49,296,205 WES common units. Net income available to limited partners for the second quarter of 2013, totaled $35.5 million, or $0.16 per common unit (diluted).

WGP previously declared a quarterly distribution of $0.1975 per unit for the second quarter of 2013, representing a 10% increase over the distribution from the prior quarter. The distribution will be paid on August 21, 2013, to unitholders of record at the close of business on July 31, 2013. WGP will receive distributions from WES of $44.1 million attributable to the second quarter and will pay out $43.2 million in distributions for the same period.

Western Gas Partners, LP Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Measures

Below are reconciliations of the Partnership’s Distributable cash flow (non-GAAP) to net income attributable to Western Gas Partners, LP (GAAP) and Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) to net income attributable to Western Gas Partners, LP (GAAP) and net cash provided by operating activities (GAAP), as required under Regulation G of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Management believes that the Partnership’s Distributable cash flow, Adjusted EBITDA and Coverage ratio are widely accepted financial indicators of the Partnership’s financial performance compared to other publicly traded partnerships and are useful in assessing the Partnership’s ability to incur and service debt, fund capital expenditures and make distributions. Distributable cash flow, Adjusted EBITDA and Coverage ratio, as defined by the Partnership, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Therefore, the Partnership’s Distributable cash flow, Adjusted EBITDA and Coverage ratio should be considered in conjunction with net income and other applicable performance measures, such as operating income or cash flows from operating activities.

Distributable Cash Flow

The Partnership defines Distributable cash flow as Adjusted EBITDA, plus interest income, less net cash paid for interest expense (including amortization of deferred debt issuance costs originally paid in cash, offset by non-cash capitalized interest), maintenance capital expenditures, and income taxes.
