(1) EBITDA represents net income before net interest expense, income taxes and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by adjusting EBITDA for non-recurring items and adding other non-cash items. APL’s method of computing EBITDA may not be the same method used to compute similar measures reported by other companies. The EBITDA calculation below is different from the EBITDA calculation under its credit facility. Certain items excluded from EBITDA are significant components in understanding and assessing an entity’s financial performance, such as its cost of capital and its tax structure, as well as historic costs of depreciable assets. APL includes information concerning EBITDA ands adjusted EBITDA because they provide investors and management with additional information as to its ability to pay its fixed charges and are presented solely as a supplemental financial measure. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as alternatives to, or more meaningful than, net income or cash flow as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles or as indicators of our operating performance or liquidity.

 


The historical financial information with respect to the target assets represents carve out financial information from the financial statements of Anadarko Petroleum Corporation. This information has not been audited or reviewed by an independent accounting firm and does not include all disclosures normally made in financial statements.
