Tallgrass Energy Reports Strong First Quarter 2018 Results

LEAWOOD, Kan.

  • $340 million of strategic acquisitions and organic growth projects
    announced during the quarter
  • Healthy distribution coverage of 1.30x at TEP
  • Conservative financial leverage of approximately 3.1x at TEP

Tallgrass Energy Partners, LP (NYSE: TEP) ("TEP") and Tallgrass Energy
GP, LP (NYSE: TEGP) ("TEGP") today reported financial and operating
results for the first quarter of 2018.

“Tallgrass Energy once again delivered the strong quarterly financial
results that our unitholders and shareholders have come to expect,” said
President and CEO David Dehaemers Jr. “These results were driven by
consistent performance in our Natural Gas and Crude Oil transportation
segments and continued growth in our Gathering, Processing and
Terminalling segment, all of which led to our 19th and 11th consecutive
distribution increases at TEP and TEGP, respectively.

"Our team remains focused on growing Tallgrass through strategic
acquisitions and organically developed growth projects that will
continue to expand our assets and footprint," added Dehaemers. "In
addition, our team is also focused on completing TEGP’s pending
acquisition of the publicly held TEP units that will result in a single
unified public company, Tallgrass Energy, LP or TGE. We believe this
streamlined entity, with shareholders receiving dividends and 1099s,
will attract wider and more cost-effective capital investment to enhance
shareholder returns on our commercial growth plans."

First Quarter Distributions

Tallgrass Energy Partners, LP

As previously announced, the board of directors of TEP's general partner
declared a quarterly cash distribution of $0.975 per common unit for the
first quarter of 2018. This quarterly distribution represents $3.90 on
an annualized basis, a sequential increase of 1.0 percent from the
fourth quarter 2017 distribution and an increase of 16.8 percent from
the first quarter 2017 distribution. The quarterly distribution will be
paid on May 15, 2018, to unitholders of record as of the close of
business on April 30, 2018.

Tallgrass Energy GP, LP

Also, as previously announced, the board of directors of TEGP's general
partner declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.4875 per Class A share
for the first quarter of 2018. This quarterly dividend represents $1.95
per Class A share on an annualized basis, a sequential increase of 32.7
percent from the fourth quarter 2017 dividend and an increase of 69.6
percent from the first quarter 2017 dividend. The quarterly dividend
will be paid on May 15, 2018, to Class A shareholders of record as of
the close of business on April 30, 2018.

Tallgrass Energy Partners, LP Alternative
Reconciliation

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. As such, we have also provided an
alternative reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA that illustrates the
impact of this item. This alternative reconciliation is also a non-GAAP
Measure. Management believes this information provides investors useful
information regarding the impact of this item on our current results as
well as the potential impact on future results.

Merger Transaction

In connection with the merger agreement announced on March 26, 2018,
pursuant to which TEGP will acquire the TEP common units held by the
public in a share-for-unit merger transaction that is taxable for U.S.
federal income purposes at a ratio of 2.0 TEGP Class A shares for each
outstanding TEP common unit, TEGP filed a registration statement on Form
S-4 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) that includes a
preliminary proxy statement for TEP unitholders. The registration
statement has not yet been declared effective, although we anticipate
that such registration statement will be declared effective and TEP will
mail the definitive proxy statement to its unitholders in the coming
weeks.

TEP has scheduled a special meeting of its unitholders to vote on the
merger agreement and the transactions related thereto on June 26, 2018,
at 10 a.m., Central Time, at the Hilton Garden Inn, 5800 College
Boulevard, Overland Park, Kan. 66211. All holders of TEP common units as
of the close of business on May 18, 2018, will be entitled to vote at
such special meeting.

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.

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, less cash interest costs,
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 the registration statement on Form
S-4 TEGP filed with the SEC will be declared effective and the pending
acquisition of TEP by TEGP will close and, if the transaction closes,
whether it will attract wider and more cost-effective capital
investments or enhance shareholder returns on our commercial growth
plans. 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.

Tax Considerations

This release is intended to be a qualified notice to nominees and
brokers under Treasury Regulation Sections 1.1446-4(b)(4) and (d). All
of TEP’s distributions to foreign investors are attributable to income
that is effectively connected with a United States trade or business.
Accordingly, TEP’s distributions to foreign investors are subject to
federal income tax withholding at the highest effective tax rate.
