Rose Rock Midstream, L.P. Reports Third Quarter 2013 Results
Increases 2013 Adjusted EBITDA Guidance
Announces Intent to Acquire Additional Interest in White Cliffs Pipeline from SemGroup Corporation
Tulsa, OK - November 11, 2013 - Rose Rock Midstream®, L.P. (NYSE: RRMS) today announced its financial results for the three months ended September 30, 2013.
Rose Rock Midstream reported third quarter 2013 Adjusted EBITDA of $15.7 million, up 2% from the second quarter 2013 of $15.4 million, and up 65% from the third quarter 2012 of $9.5 million. Rose Rock’s results improved slightly over the second quarter of 2013 due to an increase in marketing volumes combined with a one month impact of the Barcas Field Services acquisition, partly offset by a decrease in pipeline transportation margins.
“Rose Rock Midstream has performed well this year and we are on track to meet and exceed our 2013 goals. Our distribution payable this week represents a 15% increase over our distribution paid in November 2012, which is consistent with our 2013 guidance of 15% year-over-year distribution growth,” said Norm Szydlowski, chief executive officer of Rose Rock Midstream's general partner. “We continue to execute on our strategic plans including the completion of our organic growth projects and growth-oriented acquisitions which are reflected in our increased guidance. As the demand for midstream services continues, Rose Rock Midstream is well suited to meet those needs with a strong balance sheet and a highly motivated and experienced workforce.”
Adjusted gross margin was $23.8 million for the third quarter 2013, up 19% from the second quarter 2013 of $20.1 million and 24% above third quarter 2012 Adjusted gross margin of $19.2 million. Adjusted gross margin and Adjusted EBITDA, which are non-GAAP measures, are reconciled to their most directly comparable GAAP measures below.
Third quarter 2013 net income totaled $9.4 million, compared to $9.1 million for the second quarter 2013 and $6.5 million for the third quarter 2012.
Rose Rock Midstream's distributable cash flow for the three months ended September 30, 2013 was $13.0 million. On October 24, 2013, Rose Rock Midstream increased the partnership's quarterly cash distribution to $0.45 per unit from $0.44 per unit, effective for the third quarter 2013, resulting in an annualized distribution of $1.80 per unit. This is a 2.3% increase over the second quarter 2013 and marks the seventh consecutive increase in the quarterly cash distribution to RRMS limited partner unitholders. The distribution will be paid on November 14, 2013 to all unitholders of record on November 5, 2013. Distributable cash flow, which is a non-GAAP measure, is reconciled to its most directly comparable GAAP measure below.
Recent Updates
Rose Rock Midstream announces its intent to pursue an agreement with SemGroup to acquire an additional 33.3% interest in SemCrude Pipeline, L.L.C., which owns a 51 percent interest in White Cliffs Pipeline L.L.C. Following the proposed transaction Rose Rock will directly own a 67% interest in SemCrude Pipeline and indirectly own a 34% interest in White Cliffs Pipeline.
Rose Rock expects that the acquisition will be accretive to distributable cash flow, on a per-unit basis for the partnership’s unit holders. As contemplated, Rose Rock would fund the proposed transaction with a combination of debt and units to SemGroup.
Exhibit 99.1
The transaction is subject to execution of an agreement between the two parties, review and recommendation by the conflicts committee of the general partner of Rose Rock, and the approval of both company's boards of directors. The agreement is expected to close by year-end.
Rose Rock Midstream also announces the acquisition of a 12-mile, 12-inch crude oil pipeline from Noble Energy, Inc. that extends from Platteville, CO to Tampa, CO for a purchase price of $8.3 million. The pipeline was recently constructed by Noble Energy and placed into service concurrent with the acquisition. The pipeline connects Rose Rock Midstream’s Platteville, CO crude oil terminal to the Tampa, CO rail facility. Platteville is the origin point for White Cliffs Pipeline®.
2013 Guidance
Management is raising the company’s 2013 Adjusted EBITDA guidance to between $63 and $66 million, up from the previous guidance range of $56 million to $60 million. This increase does not include the proposed acquisition of White Cliffs Pipeline. The partnership is on target to deploy more than $113 million in capital expenditures in 2013, and remains on track to achieve a 2013 distribution growth rate of approximately15% year-over-year.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This Press Release and the accompanying schedules include the non-GAAP financial measures of Adjusted gross margin, Adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow, which may be used periodically by management when discussing our financial results with investors and analysts. The accompanying schedules of this Press Release provide reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (GAAP). Adjusted gross margin, Adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow are presented as management believes they provide additional information and metrics relative to the performance of our business.
Operating income (loss) is the GAAP measure most directly comparable to Adjusted gross margin, net income (loss) and cash provided by (used in) operating activities are the GAAP measures most directly
Exhibit 99.1
comparable to Adjusted EBITDA, and net income (loss) is the GAAP measure most directly comparable to distributable cash flow. Our non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as alternatives to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures have important limitations as analytical tools because they exclude some, but not all, items that affect the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. You should not consider Adjusted gross margin, Adjusted EBITDA or distributable cash flow in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Because Adjusted gross margin, Adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow may be defined differently by other companies in our industry, our definitions of these non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing their utility.
Management compensates for the limitation of Adjusted gross margin, Adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow as analytical tools by reviewing the comparable GAAP measures, understanding the differences between Adjusted gross margin, Adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow, on the one hand, and operating income (loss), net income (loss) and net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, on the other hand, and incorporating this knowledge into its decision-making processes. We believe that investors benefit from having access to the same financial measures that our management uses in evaluating our operating results.
