(1) PAA's reported results include the impact of items that affect comparability between reporting periods. The impact of certain of these items is excluded from adjusted results. See the section of this release entitled "Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Selected Items Impacting Comparability" and the tables attached hereto for information regarding certain selected items that PAA believes impact comparability of financial results between reporting periods, as well as for information regarding non-GAAP financial measures (such as adjusted EBITDA) and their reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP measures.

 

“PAA delivered solid second-quarter results, exceeding the high-end of our initial guidance range and slightly ahead of our updated outlook provided in June,” stated Greg L. Armstrong, Chairman and CEO of Plains All American. “These results were driven by over performance in our Transportation and Supply and Logistics segments.”

Armstrong added, “PAA remains on track to achieve its distribution growth objective of 10% for 2014, while maintaining attractive distribution coverage. PAA's quarterly distribution of $0.6450 per unit, to be paid next week, represents a 9.8% increase over the quarterly distribution paid in August 2013. Given PAA's trajectory, PAGP also remains on track to achieve its distribution growth objective of 25% for 2014. PAGP's quarterly distribution of $0.1834 per share represents a 7.5% increase over the quarterly distribution paid in May of 2014 and a 23.1% increase over the initial quarterly distribution included in PAGP's October 2013 initial public offering (“IPO”) prospectus.

As a result of PAA's first half performance and our outlook for near baseline performance for the remainder of the year, we have increased our full-year adjusted EBITDA guidance by $25 million to a mid-point of $2.175 billion,” said Armstrong. “Our 2014 capital expansion program is proceeding well as we continue to advance a number of attractive projects included in our multi-billion dollar project portfolio. Furthermore, we are well positioned financially, ending the second quarter with a strong balance sheet, credit metrics favorable to PAA's targeted credit profile and approximately $2.2 billion of committed liquidity.”

The following table summarizes selected PAA financial information by segment for the second quarter and first half of 2014:

(1) PAA's reported results include the impact of items that affect comparability between reporting periods. The impact of certain of these items is excluded from adjusted results. See the section of this release entitled "Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Selected Items Impacting Comparability" and the tables attached hereto for information regarding certain selected items that PAA believes impact comparability of financial results between reporting periods.

(2) Certain of our non-GAAP financial measures may not be impacted by each of the selected items impacting comparability.

Second-quarter 2014 Transportation adjusted segment profit increased 37% versus comparable 2013 results. This increase was primarily driven by higher crude oil pipeline volumes associated with recently completed organic growth projects and increased producer drilling activities, partially offset by the sale of our refined products pipelines in 2013.

Second-quarter 2014 Facilities adjusted segment profit decreased 10% over comparable 2013 results. This decrease was primarily due to the impact of recontracting capacity originally contracted at higher rates within our natural gas storage operations, as well as increased field operating costs. This impact was partially offset by increased profitability from our NGL storage and fractionation activities.

Second-quarter 2014 Supply and Logistics adjusted segment profit decreased by approximately 6% relative to comparable 2013 results. This decrease was primarily related to less favorable NGL market conditions and higher costs, primarily related to increased facility fees, in the second quarter of 2014 compared to the same 2013 period. These impacts were partially offset by more favorable crude oil market conditions during the second quarter of 2014.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Selected Items Impacting Comparability

To supplement our financial information presented in accordance with GAAP, management uses additional measures that are known as “non-GAAP financial measures” (such as adjusted EBITDA and implied distributable cash flow) in its evaluation of past performance and prospects for the future. Management believes that the presentation of such additional financial measures provides useful information to investors regarding our performance and results of operations because these measures, when used in conjunction with related GAAP financial measures, (i) provide additional information about our core operating performance and ability to generate and distribute cash flow, (ii) provide investors with the financial analytical framework upon which management bases financial, operational, compensation and planning decisions and (iii) present measurements that investors, rating agencies and debt holders have indicated are useful in assessing us and our results of operations. These measures may exclude, for example, (i) charges for obligations that are expected to be settled with the issuance of equity instruments, (ii) the mark-to-market of derivative instruments that are related to underlying activities in another period (or the reversal of such adjustments from a prior period), (iii) items that are not indicative of our core operating results and business outlook and/or (iv) other items that we believe should be excluded in understanding our core operating performance. We have defined all such items as “selected items impacting comparability.” We consider an understanding of these selected items impacting comparability to be material to the evaluation of our operating results and prospects.

Although we present selected items that we consider in evaluating our performance, you should also 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, exchange rates, mechanical interruptions, acquisitions and numerous other factors. These types of variations are not separately identified in this release, but will be discussed, as applicable, in management's discussion and analysis of operating results in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Adjusted EBITDA and other non-GAAP financial measures are reconciled to the most comparable GAAP measures for the periods presented in the tables attached to this release, and should be viewed in addition to, and not in lieu of, our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto. In addition, PAA maintains on its website (www.plainsallamerican.com) a reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA and certain commonly used non-GAAP financial information to the most comparable GAAP measures. To access the information, investors should click on “Plains All American Pipeline, L.P.” under the "Investor Relations" link on the home page, select the "Guidance & Non-GAAP Reconciliations" link and navigate to the “Non-GAAP Reconciliations” tab.

Forward Looking Statements

(1) We calculate net income available to limited partners based on the distributions pertaining to the current period's net income. After adjusting for the appropriate period's distributions, the remaining undistributed earnings or excess distributions over earnings, if any, are allocated to the general partner, limited partners and participating securities in accordance with the contractual terms of the partnership agreement and as further prescribed under the two-class method.

(2) Our Long-term Incentive Plan ("LTIP") awards that contemplate the issuance of common units are considered dilutive unless (i) vesting occurs only upon the satisfaction of a performance condition and (ii) that performance condition has yet to be satisfied. LTIP awards that are deemed to be dilutive are reduced by a hypothetical unit

repurchase based on the remaining unamortized fair value, as prescribed by the treasury stock method in guidance issued by the FASB.
