Dominion Midstream Partners Announces Second-Quarter 2016 Earnings

·
Net Income attributable to the partnership of $22.5 million
·
Adjusted EBITDA of $27.2 million for second-quarter 2016
·
Management affirms targeted 22% annual distribution growth through 2020


RICHMOND, Va. – Dominion Midstream Partners, LP (NYSE: DM) reported unaudited net income attributable to the partnership of $22.5 million, or $0.28 per common limited partner unit for the three months ended June 30, 2016.  Adjusted earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (Adjusted EBITDA) was $27.2 million, and distributable cash flow was $23.8 million for the quarter.

Dominion Midstream uses Adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow as the primary performance measurement of its earnings and results for public communications with analysts and investors.  Dominion Midstream also uses Adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow internally for budgeting, reporting to the Board of Directors and other purposes. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow provide a more meaningful representation of the company's financial performance.   Schedules B and D of this press release include a reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP measure.

On July 22, 2016, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly distribution of $0.2355 per unit, payable on Aug. 15, 2016, to unitholders of record at the close of business Aug. 5, 2016.
