EXECUTIVE COMMENTARY
"2015 marks the third consecutive year of Adjusted EBITDA and DCF
growth," said Lynn Bourdon, Chairman, President and Chief Executive
Officer. "Our financial results reflect a strong year of execution for
American Midstream, including the acquisition of a minority interest in
Delta House and transition to 90 percent fee-based cash flow in multiple
basins. Amidst a challenging environment, we delivered year-over-year
Adjusted EBITDA and DCF growth of greater than 40 percent, and we are
forecasting significant growth again in 2016.
"The Partnership's 2016 forecast reflects a full-year benefit of a
minority interest in Delta House and organic growth projects completed
in 2015, as well as fee-based organic growth projects coming online in
2016, including expansions at the Harvey terminal, startup of the
Longview rail facility, and contributions from off-spec processing in
the Permian. As a result, in 2016 we expect to generate top-quartile,
year-over-year Adjusted EBITDA and DCF growth of 70 percent with
distribution coverage in a range of 1.1 to 1.2 times.
"Our diversified portfolio of midstream assets in multiple key resource
plays provides a strong footprint to continue delivering long-term
growth. As we look ahead, we are actively evaluating organic growth and
acquisition opportunities in partnership with ArcLight Capital, who is
executing a $75 million common unit purchase program and currently holds
more than 10 percent of our outstanding common units. We remain
committed to operating prudently in the current environment while
remaining focused on delivering long-term, sustainable growth to
unitholders."

Gross margin1 for the three months ended December 31, 2015
was $28.1 million, a decrease of $8.1 million, or 22.4 percent, from
$36.2 million in the prior-year period. For the twelve months ended
December 31, 2015, gross margin was $123.3 million compared to $102.8
million in 2014, an increase of $20.5 million, or 19.9 percent.
The decrease in gross margin for the three months ended December 31,
2015 was primarily due to lower natural gas liquids ("NGL") pricing,
lower condensate production, and a decrease in total average throughput
volumes in the Transmission segment. The increase in gross margin for
the twelve months ended December 31, 2015 was primarily due to higher
NGL and condensate production and higher throughput volumes in the
Gathering and Processing segment as a result of the Costar Midstream
acquisition in October 2014, partially offset by lower average
throughput volumes in the Transmission segment.
Adjusted EBITDA for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2015
was $20.4 million and $66.3 million, respectively, compared to $19.2
million and $45.6 million for the same periods in 2014, increases of 6.3
percent and 45.4 percent, respectively. The increases were primarily
related to the October 2014 acquisition of Costar Midstream and
incremental earnings from unconsolidated affiliates, including Delta
House and the Main Pass Oil Gathering system.
DCF for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2015 was $14.3
million and $46.6 million, respectively, representing distribution
coverage ratios of 0.84 and 0.81, respectively. The fourth quarter 2015
distribution of $0.4725 per common unit remains unchanged from the third
quarter 2015 distribution and was paid February 12, 2016.
Reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures gross margin,
Adjusted EBITDA, and DCF to net income (loss) attributable to the
Partnership, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, are
provided at the end of this press release.
Net loss attributable to the Partnership for the three and twelve months
ended December 31, 2015 was $121.6 million and $127.5 million,
respectively, which included a loss on impairment of goodwill of $118.6
million recorded in the fourth quarter of 2015. This compares to a net
loss of $94.3 million and $98.0 million for the same periods in 2014,
which included a $99.9 million asset impairment charge incurred in the
fourth quarter of 2014. During the fourth quarter of 2015, in which the
carrying value of the Partnership exceeded its market capitalization,
the Partnership completed annual impairment testing and recorded a
$118.6 million loss on impairment of goodwill primarily attributable to
changes in the assumptions supporting the fair value of goodwill related
to certain gathering and processing reporting units, including reduced
commodity price assumptions and delayed future growth.

Gross margin for the Gathering and Processing segment was $17.2 million
and $76.9 million for the three and twelve months ended December 31,
2015, respectively, compared to $19.7 million and $50.8 million for the
same periods in 2014. The decrease in gross margin for the fourth
quarter was primarily due to lower condensate production and associated
margins. The increase in gross margin for the full year was primarily
attributable to incremental gross margin from the Costar-acquired assets
and higher gross margin from the Lavaca system, partially offset by
lower NGL and condensate production in the second-half of 2015 due to
lower off-spec volumes at Longview.
Natural gas throughput volumes increased in the Gathering and Processing
segment for the reported periods primarily due to the addition of the
Costar assets and incremental throughput volumes on Lavaca system,
partially offset by declines from legacy assets. Processed NGLs
increased during the same periods as a result of a full-year benefit of
Longview operations as part of the Costar acquisition.
Gross margin for the Transmission segment was $8.3 million and $35.3
million for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2015,
respectively, compared to $13.8 million and $42.8 million for the same
periods in 2014. The decrease in gross margin for the reported periods
was primarily attributable to higher pipeline gains in 2014 and lower
interruptible transportation margins in 2015. Lower throughput volumes
in the segment were primarily due to lower average throughputs on the
High Point system and legacy Midla system.
Gross margin for the Terminals segment was $2.6 million and $11.1
million for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2015,
respectively, compared to $2.7 million and $9.2 million for the same
periods in 2014. The change in gross margin was primarily attributable
to increases in contracted storage capacity and contractual storage rate
escalations, as well as increased ancillary services.
2016 FORECAST
The Partnership forecasts 2016 Adjusted EBITDA and DCF in a range of
$105 million to $120 million and $70 million to $85 million,
respectively, with distribution coverage in a range of 1.1 to 1.2 times,
leverage in a range of 4.0 to 4.5 times, and fee-based cash flow greater
than 90 percent. The 2016 forecast is based on current commodity pricing
and volume expectations. Growth capital expenditures in 2016, which
excludes maintenance capital, are forecasted to be in a range of $45
million to $55 million, a reduction of approximately 60 percent over
prior year, and primarily include the construction of organic growth
projects. The 2016 forecast does not include potential acquisitions,
drop downs, or asset development projects.

The Partnership's 2016 guidance assumes WTI oil price of approximately
$34 per barrel, composite NGL pricing of $0.44 per gallon, and natural
gas prices of $2.35 per MMBtu. For every 10 percent change in oil and
composite NGL pricing, the Partnership estimates an impact to Adjusted
EBTIDA of $0.5 million and $1 million, respectively. The table in
Appendix A provides an overview of forecast Adjusted EBITDA's
sensitivity to changes in commodity prices as of March 4, 2016.
BALANCE SHEET
As of December 31, 2015, the Partnership had $526.9 million outstanding
under its senior secured revolving credit facility and its consolidated
total leverage ratio under the credit facility was 4.6 times. For the
three and twelve months ended December 31, 2015, capital expenditures
totaled $18.7 million and $130.5 million, respectively, which included
$1.1 million and $4.5 million for maintenance capital, respectively.
2015 capital expenditures were primarily attributable to construction of
the Lavaca system, Bakken system, Longview rail facility, Permian
off-spec treatment facility as well as the ongoing build-out of the
Harvey terminal and initial construction activities for the
Midla-Natchez pipeline.
DERIVATIVES
The Partnership enters into derivative agreements to hedge exposure to
commodity prices associated with natural gas, NGLs, and crude oil from
time to time. As of December 31, 2015, the Partnership had not entered
into commodity hedge contracts for 2016 and beyond.

Note About Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Gross margin, Adjusted EBITDA and DCF are all non-GAAP financial
measures. Each has important limitations as an analytical tool because
it excludes some, but not all, items that affect the most directly
comparable GAAP financial measures. Management compensates for the
limitations of these non-GAAP financial measures as analytical tools by
reviewing the nearest comparable GAAP financial measures, understanding
the differences between the measures and incorporating these data points
into management’s decision-making process.
You should not consider any of gross margin, Adjusted EBITDA or DCF in
isolation or as a substitute for or more meaningful than our results as
reported under GAAP. Gross margin, Adjusted EBITDA and DCF may be
defined differently by other companies in our industry. Our definitions
of these non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly
titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing their utility.
We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) attributable to the
Partnership, plus interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation,
amortization and accretion expense, certain non-cash charges such as
non-cash equity compensation expense, unrealized losses on commodity
derivative contracts, debt issuance costs, return of capital from
unconsolidated affiliates, transaction expenses and selected charges
that are unusual or nonrecurring, less interest income, income tax
benefit, unrealized gains on commodity derivative contracts, and
selected gains that are unusual or nonrecurring. The GAAP measure most
directly comparable to our performance measure Adjusted EBITDA is net
income (loss) attributable to the Partnership.
DCF is a significant performance metric used by us and by external users
of the Partnership's financial statements, such as investors, commercial
banks and research analysts, to compare basic cash flows generated by us
to the cash distributions we expect to pay the Partnership's
unitholders. Using this metric, management and external users of the
Partnership's financial statements can quickly compute the coverage
ratio of estimated cash flows to planned cash distributions. DCF is also
an important financial measure for the Partnership's unitholders since
it serves as an indicator of the Partnership's success in providing a
cash return on investment. Specifically, this financial measure may
indicate to investors whether we are generating cash flow at a level
that can sustain or support an increase in the Partnership's quarterly
distribution rates. DCF is also a quantitative standard used throughout
the investment community with respect to publicly traded partnerships
and limited liability companies because the value of a unit of such an
entity is generally determined by the unit's yield (which in turn is
based on the amount of cash distributions the entity pays to a
unitholder). DCF will not reflect changes in working capital balances.
We define DCF as Adjusted EBITDA plus interest income, less cash paid
for interest expense, normalized maintenance capital expenditures, and
dividends related to the Series A convertible preferred units. The GAAP
financial measure most comparable to DCF is net income (loss)
attributable to the Partnership.
The GAAP measure most directly comparable to forecasted Adjusted EBITDA
and DCF is forecasted net income (loss) attributable to the Partnership.
Net income (loss) attributable to the Partnership is forecasted to be
approximately $2 million to $6 million in 2016.
Segment gross margin and gross margin are metrics that we use to
evaluate our performance. We define segment gross margin in our
Gathering and Processing segment as revenue generated from gathering and
processing operations and realized gains or (losses) on commodity
derivatives, less the cost of natural gas, crude oil, NGLs and
condensate purchased and revenue from construction, operating and
maintenance agreements ("COMA"). Revenue includes revenue generated from
fixed fees associated with the gathering and treatment of natural gas
and crude oil and from the sale of natural gas, crude oil, NGLs and
condensate resulting from gathering and processing activities under
fixed-margin and percent-of-proceeds arrangements. The cost of natural
gas, NGLs and condensate includes volumes of natural gas, NGLs and
condensate remitted back to producers pursuant to percent-of-proceeds
arrangements and the cost of natural gas purchased for our own account,
including pursuant to fixed-margin arrangements.
We define segment gross margin in our Transmission segment as revenue
generated from firm and interruptible transportation agreements and
fixed-margin arrangements, plus other related fees, less the cost of
natural gas purchased in connection with fixed-margin arrangements.
Substantially all of our gross margin in this segment is fee-based or
fixed-margin, with little to no direct commodity price risk.
We define segment gross margin in our Terminals segment as revenue
generated from fee-based compensation on guaranteed firm storage
contracts and throughput fees charged to our customers less direct
operating expense which includes direct labor, general materials and
supplies and direct overhead.
We define gross margin as the sum of our segment gross margin for our
Gathering and Processing, Transmission and Terminals segments. The GAAP
measure most directly comparable to gross margin is net income (loss)
attributable to the Partnership.
