HOUSTON, July 26, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Western Gas Partners, LP (NYSE: WES) ("WES" or the "Partnership") and Western Gas Equity Partners, LP (NYSE: WGP) ("WGP") today announced second-quarter 2016 financial and operating results.

WESTERN GAS PARTNERS, LP
Net income (loss) available to limited partners for the second quarter of 2016 totaled $83.0 million, or $0.55 per common unit (diluted), with second-quarter 2016 Adjusted EBITDA(1) of $250.6 million and second-quarter 2016 Distributable cash flow(1) of $199.3 million.
WES previously declared a quarterly distribution of $0.830 per unit for the second quarter of 2016. This distribution represented a 2% increase over the prior quarter's distribution and an 11% increase over the second-quarter 2015 distribution of $0.750 per unit. The second-quarter 2016 Coverage ratio(1) of 1.22 times was based on the quarterly distribution of $0.830 per unit and was calculated by dividing the quarter's Distributable cash flow(1) by quarterly distributions declared payable to the general partner and common unitholders. Inclusion of $9.9 million(2) of the expected recoveries under WES's business interruption insurance in Distributable cash flow(1) would result in a ratio of 1.29 times.

Represents the midpoint of WES's anticipated range of $10 million to $15 million in reimbursable amounts for the quarter, less $2.6 million of proceeds received during the quarter which are included in Adjusted EBITDA. |
"In addition to delivering another solid financial quarter, we reached several important milestones in the Delaware Basin. We resumed full service at Ramsey III, and also completed Ramsey IV on schedule," said Chief Executive Officer, Don Sinclair. "Furthermore, Ramsey V and related facilities are due to come online at the end of the third quarter."
Total throughput attributable to WES for natural gas assets for the second quarter of 2016 averaged 3.9 Bcf/d, which was 2% above the prior quarter and 12% below the second quarter of 2015(2). Total throughput for crude/NGL assets for the second quarter of 2016 averaged 187 MBbls/d, which was 2% above the prior quarter and 1% above the second quarter of 2015(2).
Capital expenditures attributable to WES, including equity investments but excluding acquisitions, totaled $116.3 million on a cash basis and $118.9 million on an accrual basis during the second quarter of 2016, with maintenance capital expenditures on a cash basis of $21.1 million, or 8% of Adjusted EBITDA(1). WES is adjusting its outlook ranges for full-year Adjusted EBITDA(1) to $930 million to $970 million(3), and for total capital expenditures (including equity investments but excluding acquisitions) to $490 million to $530 million.
WESTERN GAS EQUITY PARTNERS, LP
WGP indirectly owns the entire general partner interest in WES, 100% of the incentive distribution rights in WES and 50,132,046 WES common units. Net income (loss) available to limited partners for the second quarter of 2016 totaled $88.9 million, or $0.41 per common unit (diluted).
WGP previously declared a quarterly distribution of $0.43375 per unit for the second quarter of 2016. This distribution represented a 2% increase over the prior quarter's distribution and a 19% increase over the second-quarter 2015 distribution of $0.36375 per unit. WGP received distributions from WES of $96.0 million attributable to the second quarter and will pay $95.0 million in distributions for the same period. The excellent performance of WES's portfolio has reduced its need for additional equity, and WGP's 2016 distribution growth rate will therefore be 19% to 21% depending on the size and timing of additional WES equity issuances, if any.

Financial and operational information for the second quarter of 2015 has been recast for the acquisition of Springfield. |

This press release contains a forward-looking estimate of the range of Adjusted EBITDA projected to be generated by WES in its 2016 fiscal year. A reconciliation of such estimated range to net cash provided by operating activities and net income is not provided because the items necessary to estimate such amounts are not reasonably accessible or estimable at this time. |

This news release contains forward-looking statements. Western Gas Partners and Western Gas Equity Partners believe that their expectations are based on reasonable assumptions. No assurance, however, can be given that such expectations will prove to have been correct. A number of factors could cause actual results to differ materially from the projections, anticipated results or other expectations expressed in this news release. These factors include the ability to meet financial guidance or distribution growth expectations; the ability to safely and efficiently operate WES's assets; the ability to obtain new sources of natural gas supplies; the effect of fluctuations in commodity prices and the demand for natural gas and related products; the ability to meet projected in-service dates for capital growth projects; construction costs or capital expenditures exceeding estimated or budgeted costs or expenditures; and the other factors described in the "Risk Factors" sections of WES's and WGP's most recent Forms 10-K and Forms 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and in their other public filings and press releases. Western Gas Partners and Western Gas Equity Partners undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements.

Western Gas Partners, LP Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Measures
Below are reconciliations of (i) WES's Distributable cash flow (non-GAAP) to net income (loss) attributable to Western Gas Partners, LP (GAAP), (ii) Adjusted EBITDA attributable to Western Gas Partners, LP ("Adjusted EBITDA") (non-GAAP) to net income (loss) attributable to Western Gas Partners, LP (GAAP) and to net cash provided by operating activities (GAAP), and (iii) Adjusted gross margin attributable to Western Gas Partners, LP ("Adjusted gross margin") (non-GAAP) to operating income (loss) (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) and other applicable performance measures, such as operating income (loss) or cash flows from operating activities.
Western Gas Partners, LP Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Measures, continued
Distributable Cash Flow
WES defines Distributable cash flow as Adjusted EBITDA, plus interest income and the net settlement amounts from the sale and/or purchase of natural gas, condensate and NGLs under WES's commodity price swap agreements to the extent such amounts are not recognized as Adjusted EBITDA, less net cash paid (or to be paid) for interest expense (including amortization of deferred debt issuance costs originally paid in cash, offset by non-cash capitalized interest), maintenance capital expenditures, Series A Preferred unit distributions and income taxes.
