Non-GAAP Financial Information and Certain Definitions
This press release contains non-generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) financial measures that we refer to as adjusted EBITDA, distributable cash flow available to common unitholders ("distributable cash flow"), and ENLC's cash available for distribution.

We define adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) plus interest expense, provision (benefit) for income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense, impairments, unit-based compensation, (gain) loss on non-cash derivatives, (gain) loss on disposition of assets, (gain) loss on extinguishment of debt, successful transaction costs, accretion expense associated with asset retirement obligations, reimbursed employee costs, non-cash rent, and distributions from unconsolidated affiliate investments, less payments under onerous performance obligations, non-controlling interest, (income) loss from unconsolidated affiliate investments, and non-cash revenue from contract restructuring.

We define distributable cash flow as adjusted EBITDA (as defined above), net to the Partnership, less interest expense (excluding amortization of EnLink Oklahoma Gas Processing LP (together with its subsidiaries, "EOGP") acquisition installment payable discount), litigation settlement adjustment, adjustments for the redeemable non-controlling interest, interest rate swaps, current income taxes and other non-distributable cash flows, accrued cash distributions on Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Units (the "Series B Preferred Units") and Series C Fixed-to-Floating Rate Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Units (the "Series C Preferred Units") paid or expected to be paid, and maintenance capital expenditures, excluding maintenance capital expenditures that were contributed by other entities and relate to the non-controlling interest share of our consolidated entities.

ENLC's cash available for distribution is defined as net income (loss) of ENLC less the net income (loss) attributable to the Partnership, which is consolidated into ENLC's net income (loss), plus ENLC's (i) share of distributions from the Partnership, (ii) share of EOGP non-cash expenses, (iii) deferred income tax expense (benefit), (iv) corporate goodwill impairment, (v) acquisition transaction costs attributable to its share of the EOGP acquisition, less ENLC's interest in maintenance capital expenditures of EOGP and less third-party non-controlling interest share of net income (loss) from consolidated affiliates.

The Partnership's distribution coverage is calculated by dividing distributable cash flow by distributions declared to ENLC and the other common unitholders. ENLC's distribution coverage is calculated by dividing cash available for distribution by distributions declared by ENLC.

Growth capital expenditures generally include capital expenditures made for acquisitions or capital improvements that we expect will increase our asset base, operating income, or operating capacity over the long-term.

Maintenance capital expenditures generally include capital expenditures made to replace partially or fully depreciated assets in order to maintain the existing operating capacity of the assets and to extend their useful lives.

Segment profit (loss) is defined as operating income (loss) plus general and administrative expenses, depreciation and amortization, (gain) loss on disposition of assets, impairments, and (gain) loss on litigation settlement. Segment profit (loss) includes non-cash compensation expenses reflected in operating expenses. When available, see "Item 1. Financial Statements - Note 14 Segment Information" in ENLK's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, for further information about segment profit (loss).

Segment profit CAGR is defined as (i) the quotient of segment profit for the year ended December 31, 2021 and the segment profit for the year ended December 31, 2018, raised to the power of 1/3, (ii) minus 1.

Returns represent growth capital expenditures divided by annual adjusted EBITDA generated by such expenditures.

The Partnership and ENLC believe these measures are useful to investors because they may provide users of this financial information with meaningful comparisons between current results and previously reported results and a meaningful measure of the Partnership's and ENLC's cash flow after satisfaction of the capital and related requirements of their respective operations.  In addition, adjusted EBITDA achievement is a primary metric used in the Partnership's former credit facility, and ENLC's current credit facility, and EnLink's short-term incentive program for compensating its employees.

Adjusted EBITDA, distributable cash flow and cash available for distribution, as defined above, are not measures of financial performance or liquidity under GAAP. They should not be considered in isolation or as an indicator of the Partnership's and ENLC's performance. Furthermore, they should not be seen as a substitute for metrics prepared in accordance with GAAP. Reconciliations of these measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measures for the periods that are presented in this press release are included in the following tables.  See ENLK's and ENLC's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission for more information.

(1)

In May 2018, we restructured a natural gas gathering and processing contract, and, as a result, recognized non-cash revenue representing the discounted present value of a secured term loan receivable.

(2)

(4)

Amortization of the EOGP installment payable discount was considered non-cash interest under the ENLK Credit Facility since the payment under the payable is consideration for the acquisition of the EOGP assets.

(5)

Represents recoveries from a lawsuit settled in 2017 for amounts not previously deducted from distributable cash flow.

(6)

Excludes maintenance capital expenditures that were contributed by other entities and relate to the non-controlling interest share of our consolidated entities.

(1)

The forecasted net income guidance for the year ended December 31, 2019 excludes the potential impact of gains or losses on derivative activity, gains or losses on disposition of assets, impairment expense, gains or losses as a result of legal settlements, gains or losses on extinguishment of debt, and the financial effects of future acquisitions. The exclusion of these items is due to the uncertainty regarding the occurrence, timing and/or amount of these events.




EnLink Midstream does not provide a reconciliation of forward-looking Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities to Adjusted EBITDA because the companies are unable to predict with reasonable certainty changes in working capital, which may impact cash provided or used during the year.  Working capital includes accounts receivable, accounts payable and other current assets and liabilities. These items are uncertain and depend on various factors outside the companies' control.



(2)

Net income includes estimated net income attributable to (i) NGP's 49.9% share of net income from the Delaware Basin JV, (ii) Marathon Petroleum Corp.'s 50% share of net income from the Ascension JV., and (iii) other minor non-controlling interests.



(3)

In May 2018, ENLK restructured a gathering and processing contract, and, as a result, recognized non-cash revenue representing the discounted present value of a secured term loan receivable.



(4)

Includes (i) estimated accretion expense associated with asset retirement obligations and (ii) estimated non-cash rent, which relates to lease incentives pro-rated over the lease term.



(5)

Non-controlling interest share of adjusted EBITDA includes estimates for (i) NGP's 49.9% share of adjusted EBITDA from the Delaware Basin JV, (ii) Marathon's 50% share of adjusted EBITDA from the Ascension JV and (iii) other minor non-controlling interests.



(6)

Excludes maintenance capital expenditures that are contributed by other entities and relate to the non-controlling interest share of our consolidated entities.



(7)

Represents the cash distributions earned by the Series B Preferred Units and Series C Preferred Units. Cash distributions to be paid to holders of the Series B Preferred Units and Series C Preferred Units are not available to common unitholders.
