WESTERN GAS ANNOUNCES
FIRST-QUARTER 2017 RESULTS
HOUSTON, May 2, 2017 – Western Gas Partners, LP (NYSE: WES) (“WES” or the “Partnership”) and Western Gas Equity Partners, LP (NYSE: WGP) (“WGP”) today announced first-quarter 2017 financial and operating results.
WESTERN GAS PARTNERS, LP
Net income (loss) available to limited partners for the first quarter of 2017 totaled $5.6 million, or $0.01 per common unit (diluted), with first-quarter 2017 Adjusted EBITDA(1) of $255.0 million and first-quarter 2017 Distributable cash flow(1) of $216.5 million.
WES previously declared a quarterly distribution of $0.875 per unit for the first quarter of 2017. This distribution represented a 2% increase over the prior quarter’s distribution and a 7% increase over the first-quarter 2016 distribution of $0.815 per unit. The first-quarter 2017 Coverage ratio(1) of 1.15 times was based on the quarterly distribution of $0.875 per unit.
“During the quarter, we began executing the largest capital program in our history, with three Delaware Basin processing plants in various stages of development. Ramsey train VI remains on schedule to begin service in the fourth quarter of this year, and Mentone trains I and II remain on schedule for start-up in the second half of 2018,” said Chief Executive Officer, Benjamin Fink. “Furthermore, during the quarter we closed our DBJV-for-Marcellus asset exchange and successfully converted half of our outstanding convertible preferred units into common units, with the other half to be converted this month. Both of these transactions are critical steps toward achieving our objective of providing sustainable distribution growth over time.”

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