SemGroup Corporation Announces First Quarter 2017 Results
Tulsa, Okla. - May 4, 2017 - SemGroup® Corporation (NYSE:SEMG) today announced first quarter 2017 revenues of $456.1 million with net loss attributable to SemGroup of $10.3 million, or $0.16 per diluted share. This compares with fourth quarter 2016 revenues of $402.2 million with net income attributable to SemGroup of $12.0 million, or $0.18 per diluted share. First quarter 2016 revenues totaled $314.9 million with net loss attributable to SemGroup of $13.9 million, or $0.32 per diluted share. The net loss in first quarter 2017 was primarily due to a $19.9 million charge related to the refinancing of bonds. The refinancing resulted in lowered borrowing costs and extended maturity.
SemGroup's first quarter 2017 Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (Adjusted EBITDA) was $60.7 million, compared to $66.2 million in fourth quarter 2016 and $77.7 million in first quarter 2016. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure and is reconciled to net income below.
"In the first quarter, we continued to execute on a number of large projects including our Maurepas Pipeline, which we expect to be completed late second quarter 2017. In addition, we progressed on our Wapiti sour gas plant in Alberta and our STACK play crude extension of the Glass Mountain Pipeline," said SemGroup President and Chief Executive Officer Carlin Conner. "We are excited to have just announced a new natural gas pipeline to connect the extremely active STACK play to our Rose Valley processing plant. This gas project is another great example of how we are leveraging our existing footprint to capture regional opportunities to serve customers and optimize our operations."
Recent Developments
This week, SemGroup announced plans to build a natural gas pipeline to connect its processing complex in northern Oklahoma to the active STACK play in the central portion of the state. The Canton Pipeline is backed by a firm commitment from an investment-grade counterparty and has an initial capacity of 200 million cubic feet per day. With additional compression, the pipeline could be expanded up to 400 million cubic feet per day to serve other producers in the area. The 24-inch-diameter natural gas pipeline will extend approximately 50 miles from SemGroup's Rose Valley gas processing facility in Woods County to north central Blaine County. The pipeline is expected to be in service by year-end 2017.
First Quarter 2017 Dividend and Dividend Guidance
The Board of Directors of SemGroup declared a quarterly cash dividend to common shareholders of $0.45 per share, resulting in an annualized dividend of $1.80 per share. The dividend will be paid on May 26, 2017 to all common shareholders of record on May 15, 2017.
Management reaffirms that dividends will be reviewed annually in December of each year targeting an 8 percent dividend CAGR through 2020. Based upon our current projections, management expects to recommend to the Board of Directors in December 2017 a dividend increase in the range of 6 to 10 percent on an annualized basis.
2017 Financial Guidance
SemGroup is reaffirming its previously announced 2017 guidance of between $270 million and $310 million in Adjusted EBITDA. SemGroup does not provide guidance for net income, the GAAP financial measure most directly comparable to the non-GAAP financial measure Adjusted EBITDA, because Net Income includes items such as unrealized gains or losses on derivative activities or similar items which, because of their nature, cannot be accurately forecasted. We do not expect that such amounts would be significant to Adjusted EBITDA as they are largely non-cash items.
Exhibit 99.1
Management expects to deploy approximately $500 million of capital expenditures in 2017, which includes $60 million of maintenance projects.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
SemGroup’s non-GAAP measure, Adjusted EBITDA, is not a GAAP measure and is not intended to be used in lieu of GAAP presentation of net income (loss), which is the most closely associated GAAP measure. 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. In addition to non-cash items, we have selected items for adjustment to EBITDA which management feels decrease the comparability of our results among periods. These items are identified as those which are generally outside of the results of day to day operations of the business. These items are not considered non-recurring, infrequent or unusual, but do erode comparability among periods in which they occur with periods in which they do not occur or occur to a greater or lesser degree. Historically, we have selected items such as gains on the sale of NGL Energy Partners LP common units, costs related to our predecessor’s bankruptcy, significant business development related costs, significant legal settlements, severance and other similar costs. Management believes these types of items can make comparability of the results of day to day operations among periods difficult and have chosen to remove these items from our Adjusted EBITDA. We expect to adjust for similar types of items in the future. Although we present selected items that we consider in evaluating our performance, you should be aware that the items presented do not represent all items that affect comparability between the periods presented. Variations in our operating results are also caused by changes in volumes, prices, mechanical interruptions and numerous other factors. We do not adjust for these types of variances.
This measure may be used periodically by management when discussing our financial results with investors and analysts and is presented as management believes it provides additional information and metrics relative to the performance of our businesses. This non-GAAP financial measure has important limitations as an analytical tool because it excludes some, but not all, items that affect the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. You should not consider non-GAAP measures in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Management compensates for the limitations of our non-GAAP measures as analytical tools by reviewing the comparable GAAP measures, understanding the differences between the
Exhibit 99.1
non-GAAP measure and the most comparable GAAP measure 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. Because all companies do not use identical calculations, our presentations of non-GAAP measures may be different from similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing their utility.
