Use of Non-GAAP financial measures
Our press release and/or the conference call discussions include the non-generally accepted
accounting principle (non-GAAP) financial measures of gross operating margin, distributable cash
flow, and EBITDA. The press release provides reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures
to their most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). Our non-GAAP
financial measures should not be considered as alternatives to GAAP measures such as net income,
operating income, cash flow from operating activities or any other GAAP measure of liquidity or
financial performance.
Gross operating margin. We evaluate segment performance based on the non-GAAP
financial measure of gross operating margin. Gross operating margin (either in total or by
individual segment) is an important performance measure of the core profitability of our
operations. This measure forms the basis of our internal financial reporting and is used by senior
management in deciding how to allocate capital resources among business segments. We believe that
investors benefit from having access to the same financial measures that our management uses in
evaluating segment results. The GAAP measure most directly comparable to total segment gross
operating margin is operating income.
We define total segment gross operating margin as operating income before: (1) depreciation,
amortization and accretion expense; (2) operating lease expenses for which we do not have the
payment obligation; (3) gains and losses on the sale of assets; and (4) general and administrative
expenses. Gross operating margin is exclusive of other income and expense transactions, provision
for income taxes, minority interest, cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles and
extraordinary charges. Gross operating margin by segment is calculated by subtracting segment
operating costs and expenses (net of the adjustments noted above) from segment revenues, with both
segment totals before the elimination of intercompany transactions. In accordance with GAAP,
intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. Our non-GAAP financial
measure of total segment gross operating margin should not be considered as an alternative to GAAP
operating income.
We include earnings from equity method unconsolidated affiliates in our measurement of segment
gross operating margin. Our equity investments with industry partners are a vital component of our
business strategy. They are a means by which we conduct our operations to align our interests with
those of our customers, which may be a supplier of raw materials or a consumer of finished
products. This method of operation also enables us to achieve favorable economies of scale
relative to the level of investment and business risk assumed versus what we could accomplish on a
stand-alone basis. Many of these businesses perform supporting or complementary roles to our
other business operations. As circumstances dictate, we may increase our ownership interest in
equity investments, which could result in their subsequent consolidation into our operations.
1
Distributable cash flow. We define distributable cash flow as net income or loss
plus: (1) depreciation, amortization and accretion expense; (2) operating lease expenses for which
we do not have the payment obligation; (3) cash distributions received from unconsolidated
affiliates less equity in the earnings of such unconsolidated affiliates; (4) the subtraction of
sustaining capital expenditures; (5) the addition of losses or subtraction of gains relating to the
sale of assets; (6) cash proceeds from the sale of assets or return of investment from
unconsolidated affiliates; (7) gains or losses on monetization of financial instruments recorded
in accumulated other comprehensive income less related amortization of such amount to earnings; (8)
transition support payments received from El Paso related to the GulfTerra merger and (9) the
addition of losses or subtraction of gains relating to other miscellaneous non-cash amounts
affecting net income for the period. Sustaining capital expenditures are capital expenditures (as
defined by GAAP) resulting from improvements to and major renewals of existing assets.
Distributable cash flow is a significant liquidity metric used by our senior management to compare
basic cash flows generated by us to the cash distributions we expect to pay our partners. Using
this metric, our management can compute the coverage ratio of estimated cash flows to planned cash
distributions.
Distributable cash flow is also an important non-GAAP financial measure for our limited
partners since it serves as an indicator of our success in providing a cash return on investment.
Specifically, this financial measure indicates to investors whether or not we are generating cash
flows at a level that can sustain or support an increase in our quarterly cash distribution.
Distributable cash flow is also a quantitative standard used by the investment community with
respect to publicly traded partnerships because the value of a partnership unit is in part measured
by its yield (which in turn is based on the amount of cash distributions a partnership pays to a
unitholder). The GAAP measure most directly comparable to distributable cash flow is cash flows
from operating activities.
EBITDA. We define EBITDA as net income or loss plus interest expense, provision for
income taxes and depreciation, accretion and amortization expense. EBITDA is commonly used as a
supplemental financial measure by management and by external users of our financial statements,
such as investors, commercial banks, research analysts and rating agencies, to assess: (1) the
financial performance of our assets without regard to financing methods, capital structures or
historical cost basis; (2) the ability of our assets to generate cash sufficient to pay interest
cost and support our indebtedness; (3) our operating performance and return on capital as compared
to those of other companies in the midstream energy industry, without regard to financing and
capital structure; and (4) the viability of projects and the overall rates of return on alternative
investment opportunities. Because EBITDA excludes some, but not all, items that affect net income
or loss and because these measures may vary among other companies, the EBITDA data presented in the
press release may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. The GAAP
measure most directly comparable to EBITDA is cash flow from operating activities.

Enterprise Reports 22% Increase in Net Income for First Quarter 2006
Houston, Texas (Tuesday, April 25, 2006) Enterprise Products Partners L.P. Enterprise,
(NYSE: EPD) today announced its financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2006. The
partnership reported a 22% increase in net income for the first quarter of 2006 to a record $134
million, or $0.28 per unit on a fully diluted basis, from $109 million, or $0.25 per unit on a
fully diluted basis, in the first quarter of 2005.
Distributable cash flow for the first quarter of 2006 was $218 million compared to $251
million for the first quarter of 2005, which included $42 million from the proceeds from sale of
assets. For the fifth consecutive quarter, the partnership posted distributable cash flow in
excess of $210 million. On April 17, 2006, Enterprises board of directors approved an increase in
the partnerships quarterly cash distribution rate from $0.4375 per unit to $0.445 per unit with
respect to the first quarter of 2006. This represents a 9% increase over the $0.41 per unit rate
that was paid with respect to the first quarter of 2005. Distributable cash flow for the first
quarter of 2006 provided 1.1 times coverage of the cash distribution to the limited partners.
Distributable cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure that is defined and reconciled later in
this press release to its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, cash provided by
operating activities.
Revenue for the first quarter of 2006 increased 27%, to $3.3 billion compared to $2.6 billion
for the first quarter of 2005. Operating income for the first quarter of 2006 increased by 17% to
$194 million compared to $165 million for the first quarter of 2005. Gross operating margin
increased by 14% to a record $313 million for the first quarter of 2006 from $275 million for the
same quarter in 2005. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA)
for the first quarter of 2006 increased by 13% to a record $301 million from $266 million for the
first quarter of 2005. Gross operating margin and EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures that are
defined and reconciled, later in this press release, to their most directly comparable GAAP
financial measure.
Enterprise delivered a record quarter to begin 2006 with strong contributions from our NGL
pipelines and services, onshore natural gas pipelines and storage and petrochemical services
segments, said Robert G. Phillips, President and Chief Executive Officer of Enterprise. While
our offshore assets and some of our Gulf Coast plants continued to be impacted during the quarter
by reduced throughput from last years hurricanes, many of Enterprises onshore assets benefited
from higher volumes and stronger margins.
Our NGL pipeline business continued to be a solid contributor during the quarter due to
record export volume, increased storage activity and our increased ownership interest in the Dixie
pipeline. We were also pleased with the performance of our onshore natural gas pipeline business
which reported a 22% increase in gross operating margin from the first quarter of 2005 on stronger
transportation fees and higher volumes attributable to increased drilling activity in the basins in
which we operate. Highlighting that sectors gross operating margin increase: the Texas intrastate
pipeline system was up 22%, the San Juan gathering system was up 13% and the Permian Basin
gathering systems were up 36% compared to the first quarter of last year, continued Phillips.
I am also pleased to report that we continue to make substantial progress on our organic
growth projects. The Constitution oil and gas pipelines were completed and placed in service ahead
of schedule during the first quarter. The San Juan optimization project and the 15,000 barrel per
day expansion of the partnerships NGL fractionator in Mont Belvieu were also completed since the
first of the year. The Independence Hub and Trail project was expanded to one billion cubic feet
per day during the quarter due to additional offshore discoveries in the eastern Gulf of Mexico and
the project is on budget and on schedule with an expected in service date in the first quarter of
2007. In addition, we announced long-term agreements to construct new processing plants in the
fast growing Jonah/Pinedale fields and Piceance basin that extend Enterprises integrated NGL value
chain in the Rocky Mountains. We also announced the expansion of our propylene splitter at the Mont
Belvieu complex to support increased demand for these services from
1
our petrochemical customers. These projects comprise the bulk of our capital budget for 2006 and
provide visibility to earnings growth for our partnership and should support future distribution
increases, concluded Phillips.
Review of Segment Performance
NGL Pipelines & Services Gross operating margin for this segment increased by 12% to $171
million in the first quarter of 2006 from $153 million in the same quarter in 2005.
This increase was primarily due to the partnerships NGL pipeline and storage business, which
had a 35% increase in gross operating margin to $70 million in the first quarter of 2006 compared
to $52 million for the same quarter of 2005. The increase was largely attributable to record
volumes through our NGL export terminal on the Houston Ship Channel; increased volume on the
Lou-Tex NGL pipeline; higher volumes and fees at our NGL storage facilities including the assets
acquired from Ferrellgas in 2005; and consolidating the Dixie pipeline for a full quarter as a
result of our acquiring additional interests in the pipeline company during the first quarter of
2005. Pipeline volumes for the first quarter of 2006 were 1,421,000 barrels per day (BPD)
compared to 1,410,000 BPD in the first quarter of 2005.
Enterprises natural gas processing and related marketing business recorded gross operating
margin of $85 million in the first quarter of 2006 compared to $84 million in the first quarter of
2005. Equity NGL production for the first quarter of 2006 was 58,000 BPD compared to 85,000 BPD in
the first quarter of last year. Fee-based natural gas processing volumes decreased to 1.8 billion
cubic feet per day (Bcfd) from 2.0 Bcfd in the first quarter of 2005. The decrease in volumes
was primarily due to the lingering effects of the hurricanes on offshore production. Gross
operating margin for the first quarter of 2006 included a $4 million recovery from business
interruption insurance related to Hurricane Ivan.
Gross operating margin from the NGL fractionation business decreased slightly to $16 million
for the first quarter of 2006 from $18 million in the first quarter of 2005. NGL fractionation
volumes decreased by 83,000 BPD to 255,000 BPD principally as a result of our Norco, Louisiana
facility being idle for most of the first quarter of 2006 as a result of a decrease in NGL volumes
available for fractionation due to the effects of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. The decline in
gross operating margin was attributable to this decrease in volumes which more than offset the
benefit from a $4 million recovery from business interruption insurance with respect to Hurricane
Ivan.
Enterprises Norco facility returned to service at the end of March. Thus far in the second
quarter of 2006, our Louisiana fractionators have been operating at approximately 166,000 BPD of
aggregate gross production which exceeds pre-storm levels by 20%, or 28,000 BPD.
Onshore Natural Gas Pipelines & Services Enterprises onshore natural gas pipeline and
storage business reported strong performance from all of its major assets. Gross operating margin
in the first quarter of 2006 increased by 22% to $97 million from $79 million in the first quarter
of 2005. Enterprises Texas Intrastate pipelines experienced a 5% increase in volumes to 3.5
trillion British thermal units per day (TBtud) on continued drilling in the Barnett Shale and in
South Texas. The San Juan basin gathering system completed a record 109 new well connects during
the first quarter and benefited from higher margins on its percentage of index gathering
agreements. The Permian basin gathering and Acadian pipeline systems each turned in a strong
quarter based on higher volumes. Total onshore natural gas pipeline volumes increased to
approximately 6.1 TBtud during the first quarter of 2006 compared to 5.7 TBtud for the same quarter
of 2005.
Offshore Pipelines & Services Gross operating margin for the Offshore Pipelines & Services
segment was $17 million in the first quarter of 2006 compared to $23 million in the first quarter
of 2005. Gross operating margin for the first quarter of 2006 included a $2 million recovery on
business interruption insurance related to Hurricane Ivan. Offshore natural gas pipeline volumes
were down 20% to 1.5 TBtud and offshore crude oil transportation volumes were down 10% to 113,000
BPD as a result of the effects of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. Importantly, the Constitution oil
and gas pipelines were placed in service in February and are currently transporting approximately
30,000 BPD and 35 billion British thermal units per day. Additionally, the Phoenix gas gathering
system, which had been shut in since last year due to damage on a downstream pipeline, was returned
to service in April and should return to pre-storm volume levels in the second quarter 2006.
2
Petrochemical Services Gross operating margin in the first quarter of 2006 increased 42% to
$28 million compared to $19 million for the same quarter of 2005.
The partnerships propylene fractionation and pipeline business earned $21 million of gross
operating margin in the first quarter of 2006 versus $15 million in the first quarter of 2005, an
increase of $6 million or 38%. Enterprises butane isomerization business reported a 34% increase
in gross operating margin to $18 million in the first quarter of the current year compared to $14
million in the first quarter of 2005 as a result of a 27% increase in volume.
Enterprises octane enhancement facility was idle for most of the first quarter of 2006 for
its annual turnaround and maintenance program, which is typically scheduled during quarters
when demand for motor gasoline and additives is not at peak levels. This business recorded a loss
in gross operating margin of approximately $11 million compared to a loss of $9 million for the
first quarter of 2005.
Capitalization Total debt outstanding at March 31, 2006 was approximately $4.4 billion.
The partnerships debt to total capitalization decreased from 45.5% at the end of 2005 to 41.6% on
March 31, 2006. Total capital spending in the first quarter of 2006 was $305 million, which
includes $30 million of sustaining capital expenditures. At the end of the first quarter of 2006,
Enterprise had total liquidity of approximately $1.2 billion, which includes availability under the
partnerships $1.25 billion credit facility and unrestricted cash.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release and the accompanying schedules include the non-generally accepted
accounting principle (non-GAAP) financial measures of gross operating margin, EBITDA and
distributable cash flow. The accompanying schedules provide reconciliations of these non-GAAP
financial measures to their most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP).
Our non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as alternatives to GAAP measures such as
net income, operating income, cash flow from operating activities or any other GAAP measure of
liquidity or financial performance.
Gross operating margin. We evaluate segment performance based on the non-GAAP
financial measure of gross operating margin. Gross operating margin (either in total or by
individual segment) is an important performance measure of the core profitability of our
operations. This measure forms the basis of our internal financial reporting and is used by senior
management in deciding how to allocate capital resources among business segments. We believe that
investors benefit from having access to the same financial measures that our management uses in
evaluating segment results. The GAAP measure most directly comparable to total segment gross
operating margin is operating income.
We define total segment gross operating margin as operating income before: (1) depreciation,
amortization and accretion expense; (2) operating lease expenses for which we do not have the
payment obligation; (3) gains and losses on the sale of assets; and (4) general and administrative
expenses. Gross operating margin is exclusive of other income and expense transactions, provision
for income taxes, minority interest, cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles and
extraordinary charges. Gross operating margin by segment is calculated by subtracting segment
operating costs and expenses (net of the adjustments noted above) from segment revenues, with both
segment totals before the elimination of intercompany transactions. In accordance with GAAP,
intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. Our non-GAAP financial
measure of total segment gross operating margin should not be considered as an alternative to GAAP
operating income.
We include earnings from equity method unconsolidated affiliates in our measurement of segment
gross operating margin. Our equity investments with industry partners are a vital component of
our business strategy. They are a means by which we conduct our operations to align our interests
with those of our customers, which may be a supplier of raw materials or a consumer of finished
products. This method of operation also enables us to achieve favorable economies of scale
relative to the level of investment and business risk assumed versus what we could accomplish on a
stand-alone basis. Many of these businesses perform supporting or complementary roles to our
other business operations. As circumstances dictate, we may increase our ownership interest in
equity investments, which could result in their subsequent consolidation into our operations.

EBITDA. We define EBITDA as net income or loss plus interest expense, provision for
income taxes and depreciation and amortization expense. EBITDA is commonly used as a supplemental
financial measure by management and by external users of financial statements, such as investors,
commercial banks, research analysts and rating agencies, to assess: (1) the financial performance
of our assets without regard to financing methods, capital structures or historical cost basis; (2)
the ability of our assets to generate cash sufficient to pay interest cost and support our
indebtedness; (3) our operating performance and return on capital as compared to those of other
companies in the midstream energy industry, without regard to financing and capital structure; and
(4) the viability of projects and the overall rates of return on alternative investment
opportunities. Because EBITDA excludes some, but not all, items that affect net income or loss and
because these measures may vary among other companies, the EBITDA data presented in this press
release may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. The GAAP measure
most directly comparable to EBITDA is cash flow from operating activities.
Distributable cash flow. We define distributable cash flow as net income or loss
plus: (1) depreciation, amortization and accretion expense; (2) operating lease expenses for which
we do not have the payment obligation; (3) cash distributions received from unconsolidated
affiliates less equity in the earnings of such unconsolidated affiliates; (4) the subtraction of
sustaining capital expenditures; (5) the addition of losses or subtraction of gains relating to the
sale of assets; (6) cash proceeds from the sale of assets or return of investment from
unconsolidated affiliates; (7) gains or losses on monetization of financial instruments recorded in
accumulated other comprehensive income less related amortization of such amount to earnings; (8)
transition support payments received from El Paso Corporation related to the GulfTerra merger and
(9) the addition of losses or subtraction of gains relating to other miscellaneous non-cash amounts
affecting net income for the period. Sustaining capital expenditures are capital expenditures (as
defined by GAAP) resulting from improvements to and major renewals of existing assets.
Distributable cash flow is a significant liquidity metric used by our senior management to compare
basic cash flows generated by us to the cash distributions we expect to pay our partners. Using
this metric, our management can quickly compute the coverage ratio of estimated cash flows to
planned cash distributions.
Distributable cash flow is also an important non-GAAP financial measure for our limited
partners since it serves as an indicator of our success in providing a cash return on investment.
Specifically, this financial measure indicates to investors whether or not we are generating cash
flows at a level that can sustain or support an increase in our quarterly cash distributions.
Distributable cash flow is also a quantitative standard used by the investment community with
respect to publicly-traded partnerships because the value of a partnership unit is in part measured
by its yield (which in turn is based on the amount of cash distributions a partnership can pay to a
unitholder). The GAAP measure most directly comparable to distributable cash flow is cash flows
from operating activities.
