Exhibit 99.1
Tallgrass Energy Reports Strong Second Quarter 2017 Results
LEAWOOD, Kan.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--August 2, 2017--Tallgrass Energy Partners, LP (NYSE: TEP) ("TEP") and Tallgrass Energy GP, LP (NYSE: TEGP) ("TEGP"), collectively referred to as Tallgrass Energy, today reported financial and operating results for the second quarter of 2017.
“Tallgrass Energy continued its track record of delivering outstanding financial results and strong distribution growth for the second quarter of 2017," said Tallgrass Energy President and CEO David G. Dehaemers Jr. "With our recently announced strategic acquisitions and organic growth projects in our backlog, we now expect to deliver at the high-end of our financial guidance for 2017."
Second Quarter Distributions
Tallgrass Energy Partners, LP
As previously announced, the board of directors of TEP's general partner declared a quarterly cash distribution of $0.925 per common unit for the second quarter of 2017. This quarterly distribution represents $3.70 on an annualized basis, a sequential increase of 10.8 percent from the first quarter 2017 distribution and an increase of 22.5 percent from the second quarter 2016 distribution. The quarterly distribution will be paid on Monday, Aug. 14, 2017, to unitholders of record as of the close of business on Friday, July 28, 2017.
The increase is consistent with management’s previously announced plan to recommend to the board of directors of its general partner increases in its second and third quarter 2017 distributions that will aggregate to at least $0.10 per unit (or $0.40 per unit on an annualized basis) over the first quarter 2017 distribution of $0.835. TEP acquired an approximate 25 percent membership interest in Rockies Express Pipeline LLC in March 2017.
Tallgrass Energy GP, LP
Also, as previously announced, the board of directors of TEGP's general partner declared a quarterly cash distribution of $0.3425 per Class A share for the second quarter of 2017. This quarterly distribution represents $1.37 per Class A share on an annualized basis, a sequential increase of 19.1 percent from the first quarter 2017 distribution and an increase of 39.8 percent from the second quarter 2016 distribution. The quarterly distribution will be paid on Monday, Aug. 14, 2017, to Class A shareholders of record as of the close of business on Friday, July 28, 2017.

Tallgrass Energy Partners, LP Alternative Reconciliations
Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow, as defined in "TEP's Non-GAAP Measures" below, may be impacted by the timing of cash payments received as a result of shipper deficiency payments received or utilized during the period or incremental barrels shipped during the period. As such, we have also provided alternative reconciliations of Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow that illustrate the impact of these items. These alternative reconciliations are also non-GAAP Measures. Management believes this information provides investors useful information regarding the impact of these items on our current results as well as the potential impact on future results.

(1) Cumulative shipper incremental balance at June 30, 2017, is $24.1 million.
(2) 
Alternative distributable cash flow and alternative distribution coverage shown excludes the impact of cash flows from incremental barrels shipped on the Pony Express system, as incremental barrels shipped during current periods may reduce the shippers' firm commitment in future periods under their firm, take-or-pay contracts, thereby potentially reducing cash flows in those corresponding future periods. Under this alternative calculation, the cash flows received from incremental barrel shipments would be shown in the future periods in which the incremental barrels are utilized to reduce the shippers' firm commitment.

Non-GAAP Measures
Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow are non-GAAP supplemental financial measures that TEP management and external users of our consolidated financial statements and financial statements of our subsidiaries and unconsolidated investments, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies, may use to assess:
our operating performance as compared to other publicly traded partnerships in the midstream energy industry, without regard to historical cost basis or, in the case of Adjusted EBITDA, financing methods;
the ability of our assets to generate sufficient cash flow to make distributions to our unitholders;
our ability to incur and service debt and fund capital expenditures; and
the viability of acquisitions and other capital expenditure projects and the returns on investment of various expansion and growth opportunities.

7



We believe that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow provides useful information to investors in assessing our financial condition and results of operations. Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow should not be considered alternatives to net income, operating income, net cash provided by operating activities or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP, nor should Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow be considered alternatives to available cash, operating surplus, distributions of available cash from operating surplus or other definitions in our partnership agreement. Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow have important limitations as analytical tools because they exclude some but not all items that affect net income and net cash provided by operating activities. Additionally, because Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow may be defined differently by other companies in our industry, our definition of Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing their utility.
We generally define Adjusted EBITDA as net income excluding the impact of interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, non-cash income or loss related to derivative instruments, non-cash long-term compensation expense, impairment losses, gains or losses on asset or business disposals or acquisitions, gains or losses on the repurchase, redemption or early retirement of debt, and earnings from unconsolidated investments, but including the impact of distributions from unconsolidated investments. We also use Distributable Cash Flow, which we generally define as Adjusted EBITDA, plus deficiency payments received from or utilized by our customers and preferred distributions received from Pony Express in excess of its distributable cash flow attributable to our net interest, less cash interest expense, maintenance capital expenditures, distributions to noncontrolling interests in excess of earnings allocated to noncontrolling interests, and certain cash reserves permitted by our partnership agreement. For a reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, please see "Summary Financial Information" above.
Cautionary Note Concerning Forward-Looking Statements
Disclosures in this press release contain “forward-looking statements.” All statements, other than statements of historical facts, included in this press release that address activities, events or developments that management expects, believes or anticipates will or may occur in the future are forward-looking statements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, forward-looking statements contained in this press release specifically include whether there will be any and, if so, the amount of, TEP's quarterly distribution increase for the third quarter of 2017 and whether TEP will be able to deliver the high-end of its financial guidance for 2017. Forward looking statements may also include the expectations of plans, strategies, objectives and growth and anticipated financial and operational performance of TEP, TEGP and their subsidiaries, including: the ability to pursue expansions and other opportunities for incremental volumes; natural gas and crude oil production growth in TEP's operating areas; expected future benefits of acquisitions or expansion projects; timing of anticipated spending on planned expenses and maintenance capital projects; and distribution rate and growth, including variability of quarterly distribution coverage. These statements are based on certain assumptions made by TEP and TEGP based on management’s experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions, anticipated future developments and other factors believed to be appropriate. Such statements are subject to a number of assumptions, risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the control of TEP and TEGP, which may cause actual results to differ materially from those implied or expressed by the forward-looking statements. These include risks relating to TEP and TEGP’s financial performance and results, availability of sufficient cash flow to pay distributions and execute their business plans, the demand for natural gas storage, processing and transportation services and for crude oil transportation services, operating hazards, the effects of government regulation, tax position and other risks incidental to transporting, storing and processing natural gas or transporting crude oil and other important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected, including those set forth in reports filed by TEP and TEGP with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Any forward-looking statement applies only as of the date on which such statement is made and TEP and TEGP do not intend to correct or update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.
