Basis of Presentation of Financial Statements
Our results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2007 are not necessarily
indicative of results expected for the full year.
Except per unit amounts, or as noted within the context of each footnote disclosure, the
dollar amounts presented in the tabular data within these footnote disclosures are stated in
thousands of dollars.
In our opinion, the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include
all adjustments consisting of normal recurring accruals necessary for fair presentation. Although
we believe the disclosures in these financial statements are adequate to make the information
presented not misleading, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the
United States of America (GAAP) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and
regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). These Unaudited Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with our annual report on Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2006 (Commission File No. 1-32610).
Since the parent company owns the general partner of Enterprise Products Partners, it controls
the activities of Enterprise Products GP and Enterprise Products Partners. The parent company
consolidates the financial information of these subsidiaries with that of its own. We refer to the
consolidated group of entities as Enterprise GP Holdings L.P.
The amount of net earnings of Enterprise Products Partners allocated to its limited partner
interests not owned by the parent company is reflected as minority interest expense in our
Unaudited Condensed Statements of Consolidated Operations. Likewise, the amount of net assets of
Enterprise Products Partners allocated to its limited partner interests not owned by the parent
company is reflected as minority interest in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Apart from such minority interest-related amounts, debt and interest expense recognized in
connection with the parent companys borrowings, our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements do not differ materially from the consolidated financial statements of Enterprise
Products Partners.
Parent Company Financial Information
The parent company has no separate operating activities apart from those conducted by the
Operating Partnership. The principal sources of cash flow for the parent company are its
investments in limited and general partner ownership interests in Enterprise Products Partners.
The parent companys primary cash requirements are for general and administrative costs, debt
service requirements and distributions to its partners. The parent companys assets and
liabilities are not available to satisfy the debts and other obligations of Enterprise Products
Partners.

In order to fully understand the financial condition and results of operations of the parent
company, we are providing the financial information of Enterprise GP Holdings L.P. apart from that

Note 2. General Accounting Policies and Related Matters
Accounting for Employee Benefit Plans
Dixie Pipeline Company (Dixie), a consolidated subsidiary, employs the personnel that
operate its pipeline system and certain of these employees are eligible to participate in a defined
contribution plan and pension and postretirement benefit plans. Due to the immaterial nature of
Dixies employee benefit plans to our consolidated financial position, results of operations and
cash flows, our discussion is limited to the following:
Defined Contribution Plan. Dixie contributed $0.1 million to its company-sponsored
defined contribution plan during the three month periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006.
Pension and Postretirement Benefit Plans. Dixies net pension benefit costs were
$0.2 million for the three month periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006. Dixies net postretirement
benefit costs were $0.1 million for the three month periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006. During
the remainder of 2007, Dixie expects to contribute approximately $0.3 million to its postretirement
benefit plan and approximately $0.5 million to its pension plan.
10
Consolidation Policy
We evaluate our financial interests in business enterprises to determine if they represent
variable interest entities where we are the primary beneficiary. If such criteria are met, we
consolidate the financial statements of such businesses with those of our own. Our consolidated
financial statements include our accounts and those of our majority-owned subsidiaries in which we
have a controlling interest, after the elimination of all material intercompany accounts and
transactions. We also consolidate other entities and ventures in which we possess a controlling
financial interest as well as partnership interests where we are the sole general partner of the
partnership.
If the investee is organized as a limited partnership or limited liability company and
maintains separate ownership accounts, we account for our investment using the equity method if our
ownership interest is between 3% and 50% and we exercise significant influence over the investees
operating and financial policies. For all other types of investments, we apply the equity method
of accounting if our ownership interest is between 20% and 50% and we exercise significant
influence over the investees operating and financial policies. Our proportionate share of profits
and losses from transactions with equity method unconsolidated affiliates are eliminated in
consolidation to the extent such amounts are material and remain on our balance sheet (or those of
our equity method investees) in inventory or similar accounts.
If our ownership interest in an investee does not provide us with either control or
significant influence over the investee, we account for the investment using the cost method.
Cumulative Effect of Change in Accounting Principle
In January 2006, we adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(SFAS) 123(R), Share-Based Payment. Upon adoption of this accounting standard, we recognized,
as a benefit, a cumulative effect of change in accounting principle of $1.5 million, of which $1.4
million is included as a component of minority interest expense since the limited partners of
Enterprise Products Partners (other than the parent company) were allocated their share of this
benefit.
Environmental Costs
Environmental costs for remediation are accrued based on estimates of known remediation
requirements. Such accruals are based on managements best estimate of the ultimate cost to
remediate a site and are adjusted as further information and circumstances develop. Those
estimates may change substantially depending on information about the nature and extent of
contamination, appropriate remediation technologies, and regulatory approvals. Ongoing
environmental compliance costs are charged to expense as incurred. In accruing for environmental
remediation liabilities, costs of future expenditures for environmental remediation are not
discounted to their present value, unless the amount and timing of the expenditures are fixed or
reliably determinable. Expenditures to mitigate or prevent future environmental contamination are
capitalized.
At March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, our accrued liabilities for environmental remediation
projects totaled $30.2 million and $24.2 million, respectively. These amounts were derived from a
range of reasonable estimates based upon studies and site surveys. Unanticipated changes in
circumstances and/or legal requirements could result in expenses being incurred in future periods
in addition to an increase in actual cash required to remediate contamination for which we are
responsible.
In February 2007, we reserved $6.5 million in cash received from a third party to fund
anticipated future environmental remediation costs associated with certain assets that we had
acquired from the third party. Previously, the third party had been obligated to indemnify us for
such costs. As a result of the settlement, this indemnification was terminated.
11
Estimates
Preparing our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Our
actual results could differ from these estimates. On an ongoing basis, management reviews its
estimates based on currently available information. Changes in facts and circumstances may result
in revised estimates.
Income Taxes
We are organized as a pass-through entity for income tax purposes. As a result, our partners
are responsible for federal income taxes on their share of our taxable income. For the three months
ended March 31, 2007, our provision for income taxes of $8.8 million is applicable to state tax
obligations under the Texas Margin Tax and certain federal and state tax obligations of Seminole
Pipeline Company (Seminole) and Dixie.
In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation (FIN) 48, Accounting
for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, we must recognize the tax effects of any uncertain tax positions
we may adopt, if the position taken by us is more likely than not sustainable. If a tax position
meets such criteria, the tax effect to be recognized by us would be the largest amount of benefit
with more than a 50% chance of being realized upon settlement. This guidance was effective January
1, 2007, and our adoption of this guidance had no material impact on our financial position,
results of operations or cash flows.
Minority Interest
As presented in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, minority interest
represents third-party ownership interests in the net assets of our consolidated subsidiaries. For
financial reporting purposes, the assets and liabilities of our majority owned subsidiaries are
consolidated with those of the parent company, with any third-party ownership in such amounts
presented as minority interest. The following table presents the components of minority interest
as presented on our balance sheet at the dates indicated:

Distributions paid to the limited partners of Enterprise Products Partners primarily
represent the quarterly cash distributions paid by Enterprise Products Partners to its unitholders,
excluding those paid to the parent company in connection with its ownership of Enterprise Products
Partners common units.
Contributions from the limited partners of Enterprise Products Partners primarily represent
proceeds Enterprise Products Partners received from common unit offerings, excluding those received
from the parent company.
Contributions from the limited partners of Duncan Energy Partners represent the net proceeds
received by Duncan Energy Partners in connection with its initial public offering. On February 5,
2007, Duncan Energy Partners completed its initial public offering of 14,950,000 common units
(including an overallotment amount of 1,950,000 common units) at $21.00 per unit, which generated
net proceeds to Duncan Energy Partners of $291.9 million. As consideration for assets contributed
and reimbursement for capital expenditures related to these assets, Duncan Energy Partners
distributed $260.6 million of these net proceeds to the Operating Partnership along with $198.9
million in borrowings under its credit facility and a final amount of 5,351,571 common units of
Duncan Energy Partners. The Operating Partnership used the cash it received from Duncan Energy
Partners to temporarily reduce amounts outstanding under its Multi-Year Revolving Credit Facility.
Recent Accounting Developments
SFAS 157, Fair Value Measurements, defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring
fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value
measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and we will
be required to adopt SFAS 157 on January 1, 2008. We do not believe SFAS 157 will have a material
impact on our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows since we already apply its
basic concepts in measuring fair values used to record various transactions such as business
combinations and asset acquisitions.
13
SFAS 159, Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities Including an
amendment of FASB Statement No. 115, permits entities to choose to measure many financial assets
and financial liabilities at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair
value option has been elected would be reported in net income. SFAS 159 also establishes
presentation and disclosure requirements designed to draw comparisons between the different
measurement attributes the company elects for similar types of assets and liabilities. SFAS 159 is
effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. We are currently evaluating the
impact that the adoption of SFAS 159 will have on our financial statements.
Note 3. Accounting for Equity Awards
We account for equity awards using SFAS 123(R). SFAS 123(R) requires us to recognize
compensation expense related to equity awards based on the fair value of the award at grant date.
The fair value of an equity award is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Under
SFAS 123(R), the fair value of an award is amortized to earnings on a straight-line basis over the
requisite service or vesting period.
Unit Options and Restricted Units
Under EPCOs 1998 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the 1998 Plan), non-qualified incentive options
to purchase a fixed number of Enterprise Products Partners common units may be granted to EPCOs
key employees who perform management, administrative or operational functions for us.

Aggregate intrinsic value reflects fully vested unit options at March 31, 2007. |
The total intrinsic value of Enterprise Products Partners unit options exercised during
the three months ended March 31, 2007 was $1.6 million. We recognized $0.2 million and $0.1
million of compensation expense associated with unit options during the three months ended March
31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
As of March 31, 2007, there was an estimated $2.0 million of total unrecognized compensation
cost related to nonvested unit options granted under the 1998 Plan. We expect to recognize our
share of this cost over a weighted-average period of 2.6 years in accordance with the EPCO
administrative services agreement.
During the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, we received cash of $4.2 million and
$0.7 million, respectively, from the exercise of unit options, and our option-related
reimbursements to EPCO were $1.6 million and $0.4 million, respectively.

Under the 1998 Plan, Enterprise Products Partners may also issue restricted common units to
key employees of EPCO and directors of Enterprise Products GP. The following table summarizes

|
Aggregate grant date fair value of restricted common unit
awards issued during 2007 was $0.4 million based
on a grant date market price of Enterprise Products Partners
common units of $30.16 per unit and an estimated
forfeiture rate of 9.2%. |
None of Enterprise Products Partners restricted common units vested during the three
months ended March 31, 2007. During the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, we recognized
$1.1 million and $0.7 million, respectively, of compensation expense in connection with Enterprise
Products Partners restricted common units.
As of March 31, 2007, there was $16.4 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related
to restricted common units. We will recognize our share of such costs in accordance with the EPCO
administrative services agreement. At March 31, 2007, these costs are expected to be recognized
over a weighted-average period of 2.5 years.
The 1998 Plan provides for the issuance of up to 7,000,000 common units. As of March 31,
2007, 1,597,000 common units of Enterprise Products Partners had been issued in connection with the
exercise of unit options. After giving effect to outstanding unit options at March 31, 2007 and
the issuance and forfeiture of restricted common units through March 31, 2007, a total of 2,012,303
additional common units of Enterprise Products Partners could be issued under the 1998 Plan.
Employee Partnerships
For the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, we recorded $0.5 million and $0.6 million,
respectively, of non-cash compensation expense associated with EPE Unit I. We also recorded a
nominal amount of non-cash compensation expense associated with EPE Unit II during the three months
ended March 31, 2007. As of March 31, 2007, there was $8.8 million of total unrecognized
compensation cost related to these awards, of which we will recognize our share in accordance with
the EPCO administrative services agreement.
Note 4. Financial Instruments
We are exposed to financial market risks, including changes in commodity prices and interest
rates. In addition, we are exposed to fluctuations in exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and
Canadian dollar with respect to a recently acquired NGL marketing business located in Canada. We
may use financial instruments (i.e., futures, forwards, swaps, options and other financial
instruments with similar characteristics) to mitigate the risks of certain identifiable and
anticipated transactions. In general, the type of risks we attempt to hedge are those related to
(i) variability of future earnings, (ii) fair values of certain debt instruments and (iii) cash
flows resulting from changes in applicable interest rates, commodity prices or exchange rates. As
a matter of policy, we do not use financial instruments for speculative (or trading) purposes.
15
Interest Rate Risk Hedging Program
Our interest rate exposure results from variable and fixed interest rate borrowings under
various debt agreements. We manage a portion of our interest rate exposure by utilizing interest
rate swaps and similar arrangements, which allow us to convert a portion of fixed rate debt into
variable rate debt or a portion of variable rate debt into fixed rate debt.
Fair Value Hedges Interest Rate Swaps. As summarized in the following table, we had
eleven interest rate swap agreements outstanding at March 31, 2007 that were accounted for as fair
value hedges.

The total fair value of these eleven interest rate swaps at March 31, 2007 and December
31, 2006, was a liability of $25.0 million and $29.1 million, respectively, with an offsetting
decrease in the fair value of the underlying debt. Interest expense for the three months ended
March 31, 2007 and 2006 includes a $2.3 million loss and $0.2 million benefit from these swap
agreements, respectively.
Cash Flow Hedges Treasury Locks. During the fourth quarter of 2006, the Operating
Partnership entered into treasury lock transactions having a notional value of $562.5 million. The
Operating Partnership entered into these transactions to hedge the underlying U.S. treasury rates
related to its anticipated issuances of subordinated debt during the second and fourth quarters of
2007. On February 27, 2007, the Operating Partnership entered into additional treasury lock
transactions having a notional value of $437.5 million. The Operating Partnership entered into
these transactions to hedge the underlying U.S. treasury rates related to its anticipated issuances
of debt during 2007.
Each of the treasury lock transactions was designated as a cash flow hedge under SFAS 133,
Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended and interpreted. At
March 31, 2007, the value of the treasury locks was $21.7 million.
Commodity Risk Hedging Program
The prices of natural gas, NGLs and certain petrochemical products are subject to fluctuations
in response to changes in supply, market uncertainty and a variety of additional factors that are
beyond our control. In order to manage the price risks associated with such products, we may enter
into commodity financial instruments.
The primary purpose of our commodity risk management activities is to hedge our exposure to
price risks associated with (i) natural gas purchases, (ii) the value of NGL production and
inventories, (iii) related firm commitments, (iv) fluctuations in transportation revenues where the
underlying fees are based on natural gas index prices and (v) certain anticipated transactions
involving either natural gas, NGLs or certain petrochemical products. From time to time, we inject
natural gas into storage and utilize hedging instruments to lock in the value of our inventory
positions. The commodity financial instruments we utilize may be settled in cash or with another
financial instrument.
At March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, we had a limited number of commodity financial
instruments in our portfolio, which primarily consisted of cash flow hedges. The fair value of our
commodity financial instrument portfolio at March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006 was an asset of
$0.2 million and a liability of $3.2 million, respectively. During the three months ended March
31, 2007, we recorded $2.6 million of expense related to our commodity financial instruments. We
recorded nominal
16
amounts of earnings from our commodity financial instruments during the three months ended
March 31, 2006.
Foreign Currency Hedging Program
In October 2006, we acquired all of the outstanding stock of an affiliated NGL marketing
company located in Canada from EPCO and Dan L. Duncan. Since this foreign subsidiarys functional
currency is the Canadian dollar, we could be adversely affected by fluctuations in foreign currency
exchange rates. We attempt to hedge this risk using foreign exchange purchase contracts to fix the
exchange rate. Due to the limited duration of these contracts, we utilize mark-to-market
accounting for these transactions, the effect of which has had a minimal impact on our earnings.
At March 31, 2007, we had $1.3 million of such contracts outstanding that settled in April 2007.

Our regular trade (or working) inventory is comprised of inventories of natural gas,
NGLs, and certain petrochemical products that are available-for-sale or used by us in the provision
of services. Our forward sales inventory consists of segregated NGL and natural gas volumes
dedicated to the fulfillment of forward-sales contracts. Our inventory values reflect payments for
product purchases, freight charges associated with such purchase volumes, terminal and storage
fees, vessel inspection costs, demurrage charges and other related costs. We value our inventories
at the lower of average cost or market.
Operating costs and expenses, as presented on our Unaudited Condensed Statements of
Consolidated Operations, include cost of sales amounts related to the sale of inventories. Our
cost of sales were $2.8 billion and $2.7 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and
2006, respectively.
Due to fluctuating commodity prices in the NGL, natural gas and petrochemical industry, we
recognize lower of cost or market (LCM) adjustments when the carrying value of our inventories
exceed their net realizable value. These non-cash charges are a component of cost of sales in the
period they are recognized. For the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, we recognized LCM
adjustments of approximately $11.0 million and $11.6 million, respectively.

On occasion, the price we pay to acquire an ownership interest in a company exceeds the
underlying book value of the capital accounts we acquire. Such excess cost amounts are included
within the carrying values of our investments in and advances to unconsolidated affiliates. At
March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, our investments in Promix, La Porte, Neptune, Poseidon,
Cameron Highway, Nemo and Jonah included excess cost amounts totaling $41.8 million and $38.7
million, respectively. These amounts are attributable to the excess of the fair value of each
entitys tangible assets over their respective book carrying values at the time we acquired an
interest in each entity. Amortization of such excess cost amounts was $0.5 million during each of
the three month periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006.

production from deepwater areas of the Gulf of Mexico, primarily the South Green Canyon area, for
delivery to refineries and terminals in southeast Texas. The Cameron Highway Oil Pipeline
commenced operations during the first quarter of 2005. In light of reduced deliveries of crude oil
to Cameron Highway caused by production delays, the management committee of Cameron Highway intends
to repay its Series A notes (see Note 9) using cash contributions from the partners of Cameron
Highway.
In May 2007, we intend to make an approximate $191.0 million cash contribution to Cameron
Highway. This capital contribution, along with an equal amount contributed by our joint venture
partner in Cameron Highway, will be used by Cameron Highway to repay $365.0 million outstanding
under its Senior Notes A and $16.3 million of related make-whole premiums and accrued interest.

Parent Company debt obligation
There have been no significant changes in the terms of the parent companys debt obligation
since those reported in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.
In accordance with GAAP, the parent company consolidates the debt of Enterprise Products
Partners and its consolidated subsidiaries with that of its own; however, the parent company does
not have the obligation to make interest or debt payments with respect to the consolidated debt
obligations of Enterprise Product Partners, including those of Duncan Energy Partners.
Parent-Subsidiary guarantor relationships
Enterprise Products Partners acts as guarantor of the debt obligations of the Operating
Partnership, with the exception of the Dixie revolving credit facility and the senior subordinated
notes assumed in connection with the GulfTerra Merger. If the Operating Partnership were to
default on any debt that Enterprise Products Partners guarantees, Enterprise Products Partners
would be responsible for full repayment of that obligation. Neither we nor Enterprise Products
Partners act as guarantor of the debt obligations of Duncan Energy Partners.
Operating Partnership debt obligations
There have been no significant changes in the terms of the Operating Partnerships debt
obligations since those reported in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
2006.
Duncan Energy Partners debt obligation
We consolidate the debt of Duncan Energy Partners with that of our own; however, we do not
have the obligation to make interest payments or debt payments with respect to the debt of Duncan
Energy Partners.
Duncan Energy Partners entered into a $300.0 million revolving credit facility, all of which
may be used for letters of credit, with a $30.0 million sublimit for Swingline loans. Letters of
credit outstanding under this facility reduce the amount available for borrowings. At the closing
of its initial public offering, Duncan Energy Partners made its initial borrowing of $200.0 million
under the facility to fund the $198.9 million cash distribution to the Operating Partnership and
the remainder to pay debt issuance costs. At March 31, 2007, the balance outstanding under this
facility was $169.0 million.
This credit facility matures in February 2011 and will be used by Duncan Energy Partners in
the future to fund working capital and other capital requirements and for general partnership
purposes. Duncan Energy Partners may make up to two requests for one-year extensions of the
maturity date (subject to certain restrictions). The revolving credit facility is available to pay
distributions upon the initial contribution of assets to Duncan Energy Partners, fund working
capital, make acquisitions and provide payment for general purposes. Duncan Energy Partners can
increase the revolving credit facility, without consent of the lenders, by an amount not to exceed
$150.0 million by adding to the facility one or more new lenders and/or increasing the commitments
of existing lenders. No lender is required to increase its commitment, unless it agrees to do so
in its sole discretion.
This revolving credit facility offers the following unsecured loans, each having different
interest requirements: (i) London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) loans bear interest at a rate
per annum equal to LIBOR plus the applicable LIBOR margin (as defined in the credit agreement),
(ii) Base Rate loans bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the higher of (a) the rate of
interest publicly announced by the administrative agent, Wachovia Bank, National Association, as
its Base Rate and (b) 0.5% per annum above the Federal Funds Rate in effect on such date and (iii)
Swingline loans bear interest a rate per annum equal to LIBOR plus an applicable LIBOR margin.
22
The revolving credit facility requires Duncan Energy Partners to maintain a leverage ratio for
the prior four fiscal quarters of not more than 4.75 to 1.00 at the last day of each fiscal quarter
commencing June 30, 2007; provided that, upon the closing of a permitted acquisition, such ratio
shall not exceed (a) 5.25 to 1.00 at the last day of the fiscal quarter in which such specified
acquisition occurred and at the last day of each of the two fiscal quarters following the fiscal
quarter in which such specified acquisition occurred, and (b) 4.75 to 1.00 at the last day of each
fiscal quarter thereafter. In addition, prior to obtaining an investment-grade rating by Standard
& Poors Ratings Services, Moodys Investors Service or Fitch Ratings, Duncan Energy Partners
interest coverage ratio, for the prior four fiscal quarters shall not be less than 2.75 to 1.00 at
the last day of each fiscal quarter commencing June 30, 2007.
The Duncan Energy Partners credit facility contains other customary covenants. Also, if an
event of default exists under the credit agreement, the lenders will be able to accelerate the
maturity date of amounts borrowed under the credit agreement and exercise other rights and
remedies.
Covenants
We are in compliance with the covenants of our consolidated debt agreements at March 31, 2007
and December 31, 2006.

In accordance with SFAS 6, long-term and current maturities of debt reflect the
classification of such obligations at March 31, 2007. With respect to the $500.0 million in
principal due under Senior Notes E in October 2007, the Operating Partnership has the ability to
use available credit capacity under its Multi-Year Revolving Credit Facility to fund the repayment
of this debt. The preceding table and our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at March
31, 2007 and December 31, 2006 reflect this ability to refinance.

Cameron Highways debt consists of $365.0 million of Series A notes and $50.0 million of
Series B notes. Cameron Highway intends to repay its Series A notes in May 2007 using proceeds
from capital contributions from its partners. The total amount of the repayment is estimated to
be $381.3 million, which includes a $13.1 million make-whole premium and $3.2 million of accrued
interest. The Operating Partnership intends to fund its share of the capital contribution using
borrowings under its Multi-Year Revolving Credit Facility.
The credit agreements of our unconsolidated affiliates contain various affirmative and
negative covenants, including financial covenants. These businesses were in compliance with such
covenants at March 31, 2007. The credit agreements of our unconsolidated affiliates restrict their
ability to pay cash dividends if a default or an event of default (as defined in each credit
agreement) has occurred and is continuing at the time such dividend is scheduled to be paid.
Apart from the planned repayment of Cameron Highways Series A notes, there have been no
significant changes in the terms of the debt obligations of our unconsolidated affiliates since
those reported in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.
Note 10. Partners Equity and Distributions
We are a Delaware limited partnership that was formed in April 2005 to become the sole member
of Enterprise Products GP, which is the general partner of Enterprise Products Partners. We are
owned 99.99% by our limited partners and 0.01% by EPE Holdings. EPE Holdings is owned 100% by Dan
Duncan LLC, which is wholly-owned by Dan L. Duncan.
Our units represent limited partner interests, which give the holders thereof the right to
participate in distributions and to exercise the other rights or privileges available to them under
the First Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership (the Partnership Agreement) of
us.
In accordance with the Partnership Agreement, capital accounts are maintained for the general
partner and the limited partners of us. The capital account provisions of the Partnership
Agreement incorporate principles established for U.S. Federal income tax purposes and are not
comparable to the equity accounts reflected under GAAP in our consolidated financial statements.
Earnings and cash distributions are allocated to our partners in accordance with their respective
percentage interests.
Unit History
We had 88,884,116 units outstanding at December 31, 2006 and March 31, 2007.
Distributions to Partners
On April 16, 2007, we announced that our quarterly distribution rate with respect to the first
quarter of 2007 would be $0.365 per common unit, or $1.46 on an annualized basis. This
distribution will be paid on May 11, 2007, to unitholders of record at the close of business on
April 30, 2007.

Note 11. Business Segments
We have four reportable business segments: NGL Pipelines & Services, Onshore Natural Gas
Pipelines & Services, Offshore Pipelines & Services and Petrochemical Services. Our business
segments are generally organized and managed according to the type of services rendered (or
technologies employed) and products produced and/or sold.
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. Our
non-GAAP financial measure of total segment gross operating margin should not be considered an
alternative to GAAP operating income.
We define total segment gross operating margin as consolidated operating income before: (i)
depreciation, amortization and accretion expense; (ii) operating lease expenses for which we do not
have the payment obligation; (iii) gains and losses on the sale of assets; and (iv) general and
administrative costs. Gross operating margin is exclusive of other income and expense
transactions, provision for income taxes, minority interest, extraordinary charges and the
cumulative effect of change in accounting principle. 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 intersegment and
intrasegment transactions.
Segment revenues include intersegment and intrasegment transactions, which are generally based
on transactions made at market-related rates. Our consolidated revenues reflect the elimination of
all material intercompany (both intersegment and intrasegment) transactions.
We include equity earnings from unconsolidated affiliates in our measurement of segment gross
operating margin and operating income. 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 and/or suppliers. This method of operation 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.
Our integrated midstream energy asset system (including the midstream energy assets of our
equity method investees) provides services to producers and consumers of natural gas, NGLs, crude
oil and certain petrochemicals. In general, hydrocarbons enter our asset system in a number of
ways, such as an offshore natural gas or crude oil pipeline, an offshore platform, a natural gas
processing plant, an onshore natural gas gathering pipeline, an NGL fractionator, an NGL storage
facility, or an NGL transportation or distribution pipeline.
Many of our equity investees are included within our integrated midstream asset system. For
example, we have ownership interests in several offshore natural gas and crude oil pipelines.
Other examples include our use of the Promix NGL fractionator to process mixed NGLs extracted by
our gas plants. The fractionated NGLs we receive from Promix can then be sold in our NGL marketing
activities. Given the integral nature of our equity method investees to our operations, we believe
the presentation of earnings from such investees as a component of gross operating margin and
operating income is meaningful and appropriate.
Historically, substantially all of our consolidated revenues were earned in the United States
and derived from a wide customer base. The majority of our plant-based operations are located in
Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Mexico and Wyoming. Our natural gas, NGL and crude oil
pipelines are
25
located in a number of regions of the United States including (i) the Gulf of Mexico offshore
Texas and Louisiana; (ii) the south and southeastern United States (primarily in Texas, Louisiana,
Mississippi and Alabama); and (iii) certain regions of the central and western United States,
including the Rocky Mountains. Our marketing activities are headquartered in Houston, Texas and
serve customers in a number of regions of the United States including the Gulf Coast, West Coast
and Mid-Continent areas.
Consolidated property, plant and equipment and investments in and advances to unconsolidated
affiliates are assigned to each segment on the basis of each assets or investments principal
operations. The principal reconciling difference between consolidated property, plant and
equipment and the total value of segment assets is construction-in-progress. Segment assets
represent the net book carrying value of facilities and other assets that contribute to gross
operating margin of that particular segment. Since assets under construction generally do not
contribute to segment gross operating margin, such assets are excluded from segment asset totals
until they are placed in service. Consolidated intangible assets and goodwill are assigned to each
segment based on the classification of the assets to which they relate.
Enterprise Products Partners consolidates the financial statements of Duncan Energy Partners
with those of its own. As a result, our consolidated gross operating margin amounts include the
gross operating margin amounts of Duncan Energy Partners on a 100% basis.

Relationship with EPCO and affiliates
We have an extensive and ongoing relationship with EPCO and its affiliates, which include the
following significant entities that are not part of our consolidated group of companies:
|
|
|
EPCO and its consolidated private company subsidiaries; |
|
|
|
|
EPE Holdings, our general partner; |
|
|
|
|
TEPPCO and TEPPCO GP, which are controlled by affiliates of EPCO; and |
|
|
|
|
the Employee Partnerships. |
Enterprise Products Partners has an ongoing relationship with Duncan Energy Partners, the
financial statements of which are consolidated with those of Enterprise Products Partners.
Enterprise Products Partners transactions with Duncan Energy Partners are eliminated in
consolidation; therefore, they are not part of the totals presented in the preceding table. A
description of Enterprise Products Partners relationship with Duncan Energy Partners is presented
within this Note 12.
Unless noted otherwise, our agreements with EPCO are not the result of arms length
transactions. As a result, we cannot provide assurance that the terms and provisions of such
agreements are at least as favorable to us as we could have obtained from unaffiliated third
parties.
EPCO is a private company controlled by Dan L. Duncan, who is also a director and Chairman of
EPE Holdings and Enterprise Products GP. At March 31, 2007, EPCO beneficially owned 75,240,575 (or
84.5%) of the parent companys outstanding units. In addition, EPCO beneficially owned 147,129,416
(or
29
34.0%) of Enterprise Products Partners outstanding common units, including 13,454,498 common
units owned by the parent company. In addition, at March 31, 2007, EPCO and its affiliates
beneficially owned 86.8% of the limited partner interests of Enterprise GP Holdings and 100% of its
general partner, EPE Holdings. Enterprise GP Holdings owns all of the membership interests of
Enterprise Products GP. The principal business activity of Enterprise Products GP is to act as the
managing partner of Enterprise Products Partners. The executive officers and certain of the
directors of Enterprise Products GP and EPE Holdings are employees of EPCO.
In connection with its general partner interest in Enterprise Products Partners, Enterprise
Products GP received cash distributions of $29.4 million and $22.6 million from Enterprise Products
Partners during the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. These amounts
include incentive distributions of $25.3 million and $19.1 million for the three months ended March
31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
We, EPE Holdings, Enterprise Products Partners and Enterprise Products GP are separate legal
entities apart from each other and apart from EPCO and its other affiliates, with assets and
liabilities that are separate from those of EPCO and its other affiliates. EPCO and its private
company subsidiaries depend on the cash distributions they receive from us, Enterprise Products
Partners and other investments to fund their other operations and to meet their debt obligations.
EPCO and its affiliates received $83.0 million and $73.1 million in cash distributions from us
during the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
The ownership interests in Enterprise Products Partners that are owned or controlled by us are
pledged as security under our credit facility. In addition, substantially all of the ownership
interests in the parent company and Enterprise Products Partners that are owned or controlled by
EPCO and its affiliates, other than those interests owned by the parent company, Dan Duncan LLC and
certain trusts affiliated with Dan L. Duncan, are pledged as security under the credit facility of
a private company affiliate of EPCO. This credit facility contains customary and other events of
default relating to EPCO and certain affiliates, including us, Enterprise Products Partners and
TEPPCO. The ownership interest in Enterprise Products Partners that are owned or controlled by the
parent company are pledged as security under its credit facility.
We have entered into an agreement with an affiliate of EPCO to provide trucking services to us
for the transportation of NGLs and other products. We also lease office space in various buildings
from affiliates of EPCO. The rental rates in these lease agreements approximate market rates.
Historically, we entered into transactions with a Canadian affiliate of EPCO for the purchase
and sale of NGL products in the normal course of business. These transactions were at
market-related prices. We acquired this affiliate in October 2006 and began consolidating its
financial statements with those of our own from the date of acquisition.
Relationship with TEPPCO
We received $8.5 million and $5.5 million from TEPPCO during the three months ended March 31,
2007 and 2006, respectively, from the sale of hydrocarbon products. We paid TEPPCO $6.5 million and
$4.4 million for NGL pipeline transportation and storage services during the three months ended
March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
Purchase and lease of pipelines for DEP South Texas NGL Pipeline System from
TEPPCO. In January 2007, we purchased a 10-mile segment of pipeline from TEPPCO located in
the Houston area for $8.0 million that is part of the DEP South Texas NGL Pipeline System. In
addition, we entered into a lease with TEPPCO for an 11-mile interconnecting pipeline located in
the Houston area. The primary term of this lease expires in September 2007, and will continue on a
month-to-month basis subject to termination by either party upon 60 days notice. This pipeline is
being leased by a subsidiary of Duncan Energy Partners in connection with operations on its DEP
South Texas NGL Pipeline System until construction of a parallel pipeline is completed. These
transactions were entered into in accordance with our Board-approved management authorization
policy.
30
Jonah Joint Venture with TEPPCO. In August 2006, we formed a joint venture with
TEPPCO to be partners in TEPPCOs Jonah Gas Gathering Company, or Jonah. Jonah owns the Jonah Gas
Gathering System (the Jonah Gathering System), located in the Greater Green River Basin of
southwestern Wyoming. The Jonah Gathering System gathers and transports natural gas produced from
the Jonah and Pinedale fields to regional natural gas processing plants and major interstate
pipelines that deliver natural gas to end-user markets.
Prior to entering into the Jonah joint venture, we managed the construction of the Phase V
expansion and funded the initial construction costs under a letter of intent we signed in February
2006. In connection with the joint venture arrangement, we and TEPPCO will continue the Phase V
expansion, which is expected to increase the capacity of the Jonah Gathering System from 1.5 Bcf/d
to 2.3 Bcf/d. The Phase V expansion is also expected to significantly reduce system operating
pressures, which we anticipate will lead to increased production rates and ultimate reserve
recoveries. The first portion of the expansion, which is expected to increase the system gathering
capacity to 2.0 Bcf/d, is projected to be completed in the third quarter of 2007.
The second portion of the expansion is expected to be completed by the end of 2007. We will operate the Jonah
Gathering System.
We manage the Phase V construction project. TEPPCO is entitled to all distributions from the
joint venture until specified milestones are achieved, at which point, we will be entitled to
receive 50% of the incremental cash flow from portions of the system placed in service as part of
the expansion. After subsequent milestones are achieved, we and TEPPCO will share distributions
based on a formula that takes into account the respective capital contributions of the parties,
including expenditures by TEPPCO prior to the expansion.
Since August 1, 2006, we and TEPPCO equally share in the construction costs of the Phase V
expansion. TEPPCO has reimbursed us $139.3 million for its share of the Phase V costs. At March
31, 2007, we had a receivable from TEPPCO of $14.9 million for additional Phase V costs incurred
through March 31, 2007.
Upon completion of the expansion project and based on the formula in the joint venture
partnership agreement, we expect to own an interest in Jonah of approximately 20%, with TEPPCO
owning the remaining 80%. At March 31, 2007, we and TEPPCO owned an approximate 17.3% interest and
82.7% interest, respectively, in Jonah. For the three months ended March 31, 2007, our earnings
sharing ratio in Jonah was 4.8% compared to TEPPCOs 95.2%.
The joint venture is governed by a management committee comprised of two representatives
approved by Enterprise Products Partners and two representatives appointed by TEPPCO, each with
equal voting power. After an in-depth consideration of all relevant factors, this transaction was
approved by the Audit, Conflicts and Governance Committee of Enterprise Products GP and that of
TEPPCO GP.
EPCO Administrative Services Agreement
We have no employees. All of our management, administrative and operating functions are
performed by employees of EPCO pursuant to an administrative services agreement (the ASA).
Enterprise Products Partners and its general partner, us and our general partner, Duncan Energy
Partners and its general partner, and TEPPCO and its general partner, among other affiliates, are
parties to the ASA. We will reimburse EPCO for the costs of its employees who perform operating
functions for us and for costs related to its other management and administrative employees.
Under the ASA, we reimburse EPCO for all costs and expenses it incurs in providing management,
administrative and operating services to us. The ASA also addresses potential conflicts that may
arise among us, Enterprise GP Holdings, Duncan Energy Partners and other affiliates of EPCO.
31
Relationship with Duncan Energy Partners
For financial reporting purposes, Enterprise Products Partners consolidates the financial
statements of Duncan Energy Partners with those of its own and reflect Duncan Energy Partners
operations in its business segments. In turn, we consolidate the financial statements of
Enterprise Products Partners with those of our own. All intercompany transactions between
Enterprise Products Partners and Duncan Energy Partners are eliminated in the preparation of such
consolidated financial statements. Public ownership of Duncan Energy Partners net assets and
earnings are presented as a component of minority interest in our consolidated financial statements
(see Note 2).
The borrowings of Duncan Energy Partners are presented as part of our consolidated debt;
however, neither we nor Enterprise Products Partners have any obligation for the payment of
interest or repayment of borrowings incurred by Duncan Energy Partners.
On February 5, 2007, Duncan Energy Partners completed its initial public offering of
14,950,000 common units (including an overallotment amount of 1,950,000 common units) at $21.00 per
unit, which generated net proceeds to Duncan Energy Partners of $291.9 million. As consideration
for assets contributed and reimbursement for capital expenditures related to these assets, Duncan
Energy Partners distributed $260.6 million of these net proceeds to the Operating Partnership along
with $198.9 million in borrowings under its credit facility and a final amount of 5,351,571 common
units of Duncan Energy Partners. The Operating Partnership used the cash it received from Duncan
Energy Partners to temporarily reduce amounts outstanding under its Multi-Year Revolving Credit
Facility.
Enterprise Products Partners contributed 66% of its equity interests in the following
subsidiaries to Duncan Energy Partners:
|
|
|
Mont Belvieu Caverns, LLC (Mont Belvieu Caverns), a recently formed subsidiary, which
owns salt dome storage caverns located in Mont Belvieu, Texas that receive, store and
deliver NGLs and certain petrochemical products for industrial customers located along the
upper Texas Gulf Coast, which has the largest concentration of petrochemical plants and
refineries in the United States; |
|
|
|
|
Acadian Gas, LLC (Acadian Gas), which owns an onshore natural gas pipeline system
that gathers, transports, stores and markets natural gas in Louisiana. The Acadian Gas
system links natural gas supplies from onshore and offshore Gulf of Mexico developments
(including offshore pipelines, continental shelf and deepwater production) with local gas
distribution companies, electric generation plants and industrial customers, including
those in the Baton Rouge-New Orleans-Mississippi River corridor. A subsidiary of Acadian
Gas owns our 49.5% equity interest in Evangeline; |
|
|
|
|
Sabine Propylene Pipeline L.P. (Sabine Propylene), which transports polymer-grade
propylene between Port Arthur, Texas and a pipeline interconnect located in Cameron
Parish, Louisiana; |
|
|
|
|
Enterprise Lou-Tex Propylene Pipeline L.P. (Lou-Tex Propylene), which transports
chemical-grade propylene from Sorrento, Louisiana to Mont Belvieu, Texas; and |
|
|
|
|
South Texas NGL Pipelines, LLC (South Texas NGL), a recently formed subsidiary, which
began transporting NGLs from Corpus Christi, Texas to Mont Belvieu, Texas in January 2007.
South Texas NGL owns the DEP South Texas NGL Pipeline System. |
In addition to the 34% direct ownership interest Enterprise Products Partners retained in such
entities, it also owns the 2% general partner interest in Duncan Energy Partners and 26.4% of
Duncan Energy Partners outstanding common units. The Operating Partnership of Enterprise Products
Partners directs the business operations of Duncan Energy Partners through its ownership and
control of the general partner of Duncan Energy Partners.
32
Enterprise Products Partners has significant involvement with all of the subsidiaries of
Duncan Energy Partners, including the following types of transactions:
|
|
|
It utilizes storage services provided by Mont Belvieu Caverns to support its Mont
Belvieu fractionation and other businesses; |
|
|
|
|
It buys natural gas from and sells natural gas to Acadian Gas in connection with its
normal business activities; and |
|
|
|
|
It is currently the sole shipper on the DEP South Texas NGL Pipeline System. |
We may contribute other equity interests in our subsidiaries to Duncan Energy Partners and use
the proceeds we receive from Duncan Energy Partners to fund our capital spending program. We have
no obligation or commitment to make such contributions to Duncan Energy Partners.
Relationships with Unconsolidated Affiliates
Our significant related party revenue and expense transactions with unconsolidated affiliates
consist of the sale of natural gas to Evangeline and the purchase of NGL storage, transportation
and fractionation services from Promix. In addition, we sell natural gas to Promix and process
natural gas at VESCO.
See Relationship with TEPPCO within this Note 12 for a description of ongoing transactions
involving our Jonah joint venture with TEPPCO.
For additional information regarding our unconsolidated affiliates, see Note 7.
Note 13. Earnings Per Unit
Basic earnings per unit is computed by dividing net income or loss allocated to limited
partner interests by the weighted-average number of distribution-bearing units outstanding during a
period. Enterprise GP Holdings L.P. currently has no dilutive securities. The amount of net
income allocated to limited partner interests is derived by subtracting the general partners share
of the parent companys net income from net income.
The following table presents the allocation of net income to the parent companys general
partner for the periods indicated:

Note 14. Commitments and Contingencies
Litigation
On
occasion, we are named as a defendant in litigation relating to our normal business
activities, including regulatory and environmental matters. Although we are insured against
various business risks to the extent we believe it is prudent, there is no assurance that the
nature and amount of such insurance will be adequate, in every case, to indemnify us against
liabilities arising from future legal proceedings as a result of our ordinary business activities.
We are unaware of any significant litigation, pending or threatened, that could have a significant
adverse effect on our financial position, cash flows or results of operations.
On September 18, 2006, Peter Brinckerhoff, a purported unitholder of TEPPCO, filed a complaint
in the Court of Chancery of New Castle County in the State of Delaware, in his individual capacity,
as a
34
putative class action on behalf of other unitholders of TEPPCO, and derivatively on behalf of
TEPPCO, concerning, among other things, certain transactions involving TEPPCO and us or our
affiliates. The complaint names as defendants (i) TEPPCO, its current and certain former
directors, and certain of its affiliates; (ii) us and certain of our affiliates, including the
parent company of our general partner; (iii) EPCO, Inc.; and (iv) Dan L. Duncan.
The complaint alleges, among other things, that the defendants have caused TEPPCO to enter
into certain transactions with us or our affiliates that are unfair to TEPPCO or otherwise unfairly
favored us or our affiliates over TEPPCO. These transactions are alleged to include the joint
venture to further expand the Jonah Gathering System entered into by TEPPCO and one of our
affiliates in August 2006 and the sale by TEPPCO to one of our affiliates of the Pioneer gas
processing plant in March 2006. The complaint seeks (i) rescission of these transactions or an
award of rescissory damages with respect thereto; (ii) damages for profits and special benefits
allegedly obtained by defendants as a result of the alleged wrongdoings in the complaint; and (iii)
awarding plaintiff costs of the action, including fees and expenses of his attorneys and experts.
We believe this lawsuit is without merit and intend to vigorously defend against it. See Note 12
for additional information regarding our relationship with TEPPCO.
On February 13, 2007, the Operating Partnership of Enterprise Products Partners received
notice from the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) that it was the subject of a criminal
investigation related to an ammonia release in Kingman County, Kansas on October 27, 2004 from a
pressurized anhydrous ammonia pipeline owned by a third party, Magellan Ammonia Pipeline, L.P.
(Magellan). The Operating Partnership is the operator of this pipeline. On February 14, 2007,
the Operating Partnership received a letter from the Environment and Natural Resources Division
(ENRD) of the DOJ regarding this incident and a previous release of ammonia on September 27, 2004
from the same pipeline. The ENRD has indicated that it may pursue civil damages against the
Operating Partnership and Magellan as a result of these incidents. Based on this correspondence
from the ENRD, the statutory maximum amount of civil fines that could be assessed against the
Operating Partnership and Magellan is up to $17.4 million in the aggregate. The Operating
Partnership is cooperating with the DOJ and is pursuing a resolution acceptable to all parties.
The Operating Partnership is seeking defense and indemnity under the pipeline operating agreement
between it and Magellan. At this time, we do not believe that a final resolution of either the
criminal investigation by the DOJ or the civil claims by the ENRD will have a material impact on
our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
On October 25, 2006, a rupture in the Magellan Ammonia Pipeline resulted in the release of
ammonia near Clay Center, Kansas. The pipeline has been repaired and environmental remediation
tasks related to this incident have been completed. At this time, we do not believe that this
incident will have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations
or cash flows.
Several lawsuits have been filed by municipalities and other water suppliers against a number
of manufacturers of reformulated gasoline containing methyl tertiary butyl ether. In general, such
suits have not named manufacturers of this product as defendants, and there have been no such
lawsuits filed against our subsidiary that owns an octane-additive production facility. It is
possible, however, that former manufacturers such as our subsidiary could ultimately be added as
defendants in such lawsuits or in new lawsuits.
Operating Leases
We lease certain property, plant and equipment under noncancelable and cancelable operating
leases. Our significant lease agreements involve (i) the lease of underground caverns for the
storage of natural gas and NGLs, (ii) leased office space with an affiliate of EPCO, and (iii) land
held pursuant to right-of-way agreements. In general, our material lease agreements have original
terms that range from 14 to 20 years and include renewal options that could extend the agreements
for up to an additional 20 years. Lease expense is charged to operating costs and expenses on a
straight line basis over the period of expected economic benefit. Contingent rental payments are
expensed as incurred.
35
Lease and rental expense included in operating costs and expenses was $8.1 million and $9.7
million during the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. There have been no
material changes in our operating lease commitments since December 31, 2006.
Contractual Obligations
With the exception of the debt incurred by Duncan Energy Partners in connection with its
initial public offering, there have been no significant changes in our schedule of maturities of
long-term debt since those reported in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December
31, 2006. See Note 9 for additional information regarding the debt obligations of Duncan Energy
Partners.
Performance Guaranty
In December 2004, a subsidiary of the Operating Partnership entered into the Independence Hub
Agreement (the Agreement) with six oil and natural gas producers. The Agreement, as amended,
obligates this subsidiary to construct the Independence Hub offshore platform and to process 1
Bcf/d of natural gas and condensate for the producers.
The Operating Partnership guaranteed to the producers the construction-related performance of
its subsidiary up to an amount of $340.8 million. This figure represents the maximum amount the
Operating Partnership would have to pay the producers in the remote circumstance where they must
finish construction of the platform because the Operating Partnerships subsidiary failed to do so.
This guarantee will remain in place until the earlier of (i) the date all guaranteed obligations
terminate or expire, or have been paid or otherwise performed or discharged in full, (ii) upon
mutual written consent of the Operating Partnership, the producers and our joint venture partner in
the platform project or (iii) mechanical completion of the platform. Mechanical completion of the
Independence Hub platform is expected to occur in May 2007.
In accordance with FIN 45, Guarantors Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees,
Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others, we recorded the fair value of the
performance guaranty using an expected present value approach. Given the remote probability that
we would have been required to perform under the guaranty, we had estimated the fair value of the
performance guaranty at approximately $1.2 million, which is a component of other current
liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets at March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006.
Other Claims
As part of our normal business activities with joint venture partners and certain customers
and suppliers, we occasionally make claims against such parties or have claims made against us as a
result of disputes related to contractual agreements or similar arrangements. As of March 31,
2007, our contingent claims against such parties were approximately $2.0 million and claims against
us were approximately $34.0 million. These matters are in various stages of assessment and the
ultimate outcome of such disputes cannot be reasonably estimated. However, in our opinion, the
likelihood of a material adverse outcome related to disputes against us is remote. Accordingly,
accruals for loss contingencies related to these matters, if any, that might result from the
resolution of such disputes have not been reflected in our consolidated financial statements.
Note 15. Significant Risks and Uncertainties Weather-Related Risks
The following is a discussion of the general status of our insurance claims related to recent
significant storm events. To the extent we include any estimate or range of estimates regarding
the dollar value of damages, please be aware that a change in our estimates may occur as additional
information becomes available.
36
Hurricane Ivan insurance claims. We have submitted business interruption insurance
claims for our estimated losses caused by Hurricane Ivan. During the three months ended March 31,
2007 and 2006, we received $0.4 million and $10.2 million, respectively, of nonrefundable cash
proceeds from such claims. We are continuing our efforts to collect residual balances and expect
to complete the process during 2007. To the extent we receive nonrefundable cash proceeds from
business interruption insurance claims, they are recorded as a gain in our Unaudited Condensed
Statements of Consolidated Operations in the period of receipt.
We received $1.1 million and $24.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2007 and
March 31, 2006, respectively, related to property damage claims arising from Hurricane Ivan.
Hurricanes Katrina and Rita insurance claims. Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, both
significant storms, affected certain of our Gulf Coast assets in August and September of 2005,
respectively. With respect to these storms, we have $77.7 million of estimated property damage
claims outstanding at March 31, 2007, that we believe are probable of collection during the periods
2007 through 2009. We are pursuing collection of our property damage and business interruption
claims related to Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.
Note 16. Supplemental Cash Flow Information
Our Unaudited Condensed Statements of Consolidated Cash Flows are prepared using the indirect
method. The indirect method derives net cash flows from operating activities by adjusting net
income to remove (i) the effects of all deferrals of past operating cash receipts and payments,
such as changes during the period in inventory, deferred income and similar transactions, (ii) the
effects of all accruals of expected future operating cash receipts and cash payments, such as
changes during the period in receivables and payables, (iii) the effects of all items classified as
investing or financing cash flows, such as gains or losses on sale of property, plant and equipment
or extinguishment of debt, and (iv) other non-cash amounts such as depreciation, amortization and
changes in the fair market value of financial instruments.
The net effect of changes in operating assets and liabilities is as follows for the periods
indicated:

Third parties may be obligated to reimburse us for all or a portion of expenditures on
certain of our capital projects. The majority of such arrangements are associated with projects
related to pipeline construction and production well tie-ins. We received $39.1 million and $12.2
million as contributions in aid of our construction costs during the three months ended March 31,
2007 and 2006, respectively.

Note 17. Condensed Financial Information of Operating Partnership
The Operating Partnership conducts substantially all of Enterprise Products Partners
business. Currently, Enterprise Products Partners has no independent operations and no material
assets outside those of the Operating Partnership. The Operating Partnership consolidates the
financial statements of Duncan Energy Partners with those of its own.
Enterprise Products Partners guarantees the consolidated debt obligations of its Operating
Partnership, with the exception of the Dixie revolving credit facility, Duncan Energy Partners
credit facility and the senior subordinated notes assumed in connection with the GulfTerra Merger.
If the Operating Partnership were to default on any debt guaranteed by Enterprise Products
Partners, Enterprise Products Partners would be responsible for full repayment of that obligation.
See Note 9 for additional information regarding our consolidated debt obligations.
The reconciling items between our consolidated financial statements and those of the Operating
Partnership are substantially the same as the difference between our consolidated financial
statements and those of Enterprise Products Partners.

Overview of Business
The parent company is the owner of Enterprise Products GP, which is the general partner of
Enterprise Products Partners. The primary business purpose of Enterprise Products GP is to manage
the affairs and operations of Enterprise Products Partners, which is a North American midstream
energy company providing a wide range of services to producers and consumers of natural gas,
natural gas liquids (NGLs), crude oil, and certain petrochemicals. Enterprise Products Partners
is an industry leader in the development of pipeline and other midstream energy infrastructure in
the continental United States and Gulf of Mexico. Its midstream energy asset network links
producers of natural gas, NGLs and crude oil from some of the largest supply basins in the United
States, Canada and the Gulf of Mexico with domestic
41
consumers and international markets. Enterprise Products Partners conducts substantially all
of its business through a wholly owned subsidiary, Enterprise Products Operating L.P.
We are owned 99.99% by our limited partners and 0.01% by EPE Holdings. We, EPE Holdings,
Enterprise Products GP and Enterprise Products Partners are affiliates and under common control of
Dan L. Duncan, the Chairman and controlling shareholder of EPCO. We and Enterprise Products GP
have no independent operations outside those of Enterprise Products Partners.
Basis of Presentation
The parent company has no separate operating activities apart from those conducted by the
Operating Partnership of Enterprise Products Partners. The principal sources of cash flow of the
parent company are its investments in limited and general partner ownership interests of Enterprise
Products Partners. The parent companys primary cash requirements are for general and
administrative costs, debt service requirements and distributions to its partners. The parent
companys assets and liabilities are not available to satisfy the debts and other obligations of
Enterprise Products Partners.
In order to fully understand the financial condition and results of operations of the parent
company on a standalone basis, we have included discussions of parent company matters apart from
those of our consolidated partnership.
Recent Developments
The following information highlights our significant developments since January 1, 2007
through the date of this filing.
|
|
|
In March 2007, Enterprise Products Partners announced the successful installation
of its Independence Hub platform at its deepwater site in the Mississippi Canyon of
the eastern Gulf of Mexico. As a result of this event, the Independence Hub platform
has started earning demand revenues. |
|
|
|
|
In March 2007, Enterprise Products Partners announced the formation of a natural
gas services and marketing businesses similar to its existing NGL and petrochemical
marketing businesses. This new group will be the focal point for all of Enterprise
Products Partners existing natural gas supply and marketing activities, which
currently include producer wellhead services, facility fuel procurement, pipeline and
storage capacity optimization, and a full range of market customer delivery
arrangements. This initiative is expected to broaden Enterprise Products Partners
role in the natural gas markets by linking its extensive U.S. natural gas pipeline and
storage assets, thus providing its customers with value-added solutions and reducing
Enterprise Products Partners operating costs through enhanced fuel procurement
practices. |
|
|
|
|
In February 2007, Duncan Energy Partners, a consolidated subsidiary of Enterprise
Products Partners, completed an underwritten initial public offering of 14,950,000 of
its common units. Enterprise Products Partners formed Duncan Energy Partners as a
Delaware limited partnership to acquire ownership interests in certain of its
midstream energy businesses. For additional information regarding Duncan Energy
Partners, see Other Items Initial Public Offering of Duncan Energy Partners
included within this Item 2. |
Capital Spending
We are committed to the long-term growth and viability of Enterprise Products Partners. Part
of our business strategy involves expansion through business combinations, growth capital projects
and investments in joint ventures. We believe we are positioned to continue to grow our system of
assets through the construction of new facilities and to capitalize on expected future production
increases from
42
such areas as the Piceance Basin of western Colorado, the Greater Green River Basin in
Wyoming, the Barnett Shale in North Texas, and the deepwater Gulf of Mexico.
Management continues to analyze potential acquisitions, joint ventures and similar
transactions with businesses that operate in complementary markets or geographic regions. In
recent years, major oil and gas companies have sold non-strategic assets in the midstream energy
sector in which we operate. We expect this trend to continue, and expect independent oil and
natural gas companies to consider similar divestitures.
Based on information currently available, we estimate our consolidated capital spending for
the remainder of 2007 (i.e., the second, third and fourth quarters) will approximate $1.4 billion,
which includes estimated expenditures of $1.3 billion for growth capital projects and acquisitions
and $0.1 billion for sustaining capital expenditures. For information regarding selected major
growth capital projects, please see Capital Spending under Item 7 of the annual report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.
Our forecast of consolidated capital expenditures is based on our strategic operating and
growth plans, which are dependent upon our ability to generate the required funds from either
operating cash flows or from other means, including borrowings under debt agreements, issuance of
equity, and potential divestitures of certain assets to third and/or related parties. Our forecast
of capital expenditures may change due to factors beyond our control, such as weather related
issues, changes in supplier prices or adverse economic conditions. Furthermore, our forecast may
change as a result of decisions made by management at a later date, which may include acquisitions
or decisions to take on additional partners.
Our success in raising capital, including the formation of joint ventures to share costs and
risks, continues to be a principal factor that determines how much we can spend. We believe our
access to capital resources is sufficient to meet the demands of our current and future operating
growth needs, and although we currently intend to make the forecasted expenditures discussed above,
we may adjust the timing and amounts of projected expenditures in response to changes in capital
markets.

Our capital spending for growth capital projects (as presented in the preceding table)
are net of amounts we received from third parties as contributions in aid of our construction
costs. Such contributions were $39.1 million and $12.2 million for the three months ended March
31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. On certain of our capital projects, third parties are obligated
to reimburse us for all or a portion of project expenditures. The majority of such arrangements
are associated with projects related to pipeline construction and production well tie-ins.
43
At March 31, 2007, we had $454.9 million in outstanding purchase commitments. These
commitments primarily relate to growth capital projects in the Rocky Mountains that are expected to
be placed in service in 2007 and the Shenzi Oil Export Pipeline Project, which is expected to be
completed in 2009.
We own a 50.0% interest in Cameron Highway Oil Pipeline Company (Cameron Highway), which
owns a crude oil pipeline that gathers production from deepwater areas of the Gulf of Mexico,
primarily the South Green Canyon area, for delivery to refineries and terminals in southeast Texas.
The Cameron Highway Oil Pipeline commenced operations during the first quarter of 2005. In light
of reduced deliveries of crude oil to Cameron Highway caused by production delays, the management
committee of Cameron Highway intends to repay its Series A notes using cash contributions from the
partners of Cameron Highway.
In May 2007, we intend to make an approximate $191.0 million cash contribution to Cameron
Highway. This capital contribution, along with an equal amount contributed by our joint venture
partner in Cameron Highway, will be used by Cameron Highway to repay $365.0 million outstanding
under its Series A notes and $16.3 million of related make-whole premiums and accrued interest.
In March 2007, Enterprise Products Partners announced the successful installation of its
Independence Hub platform at its deepwater site in the Mississippi Canyon of the eastern Gulf of
Mexico. As a result of this event, the Independence Hub platform has started earning demand
revenues. With the installation now complete, control of the Independence Hub will be transferred
to Anadarko Petroleum Corporation as platform operator. Production from the fields served by the
Independence Hub platform is expected to begin in the second half of 2007.
Pipeline Integrity Costs
Our NGL, petrochemical and natural gas pipelines are subject to pipeline safety programs
administered by the U.S. Department of Transportation, through its Office of Pipeline Safety.
During the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, we spent approximately $18.7 million and
$18.6 million, respectively, to comply with these programs, of which $8.3 million and $5.9 million,
respectively, was recorded as an operating expense and the remaining $10.4 million and $12.7
million, respectively, was capitalized.
We expect our net cash outlay for pipeline integrity program expenditures to approximate $29.6
million for the remainder of 2007. Our forecast is net of certain costs we expect to recover from
El Paso in connection with an indemnification agreement. During the remainder of 2007, we expect
to recover $31.1 million from El Paso related to our 2006 expenditures, which leaves a remainder of
$5.4 million reimbursable by El Paso for 2007 pipeline integrity costs.

quarterly report.
Equity Income. During the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, the parent
company recorded $29.6 million and $25.1 million, respectively, in equity earnings from its
investment in limited and general partner ownership interests of Enterprise Products Partners.
Interest expense. During the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, the parent
company incurred $2.6 million and $2.1 million, respectively, in interest expense as a result of
principal amounts outstanding under its credit facility.
Our Consolidated Results of Operations
Since the parent company owns the general partner of Enterprise Products Partners, it controls
the activities of Enterprise Products Partners. As a result, the parent company consolidates the
financial information of these subsidiaries with that of its own.
We have four reportable business segments: NGL Pipelines & Services, Onshore Natural Gas
Pipelines & Services, Offshore Pipelines & Services and Petrochemical Services. Our business
segments are generally organized and managed according to the type of services rendered (or
technologies employed) and products produced and/or sold.
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
financial measure most directly comparable to total segment gross operating margin is operating
income. Our non-GAAP financial measure of total segment gross operating margin should not be
considered as an alternative to GAAP operating income.
We define total (or consolidated) segment gross operating margin as operating income before
(i) depreciation, amortization and accretion expense; (ii) operating lease expenses for which we do
not have the payment obligation; (iii) gains and losses on the sale of assets; and (iv) general and
administrative costs. Gross operating margin is exclusive of other income and expense
transactions, provision for income taxes, minority interest, extraordinary charges and the
cumulative effect of change in accounting principle. 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 intersegment and
intrasegment transactions. Intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.
We include earnings from equity method unconsolidated affiliates in our measurement of segment
gross operating margin and operating income. 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 and/or suppliers. 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.
Our consolidated gross operating margin amounts include the gross operating margin amounts of
Duncan Energy Partners on a 100% basis. Volumetric data associated with the operations of Duncan
Energy Partners are also included on a 100% basis in our consolidated statistical data.
45
For additional information regarding our business segments, see Note 11 of the Notes to
Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included under Item 1 of this quarterly
report.

As noted in the following section, changes in our revenues quarter-to-quarter are
explained in part by changes in energy commodity prices.
Comparison of Three Months Ended March 31, 2007 with
Three Months Ended March 31, 2006
Consolidated revenues increased $72.8 million quarter-to-quarter to $3.3 billion for the first
quarter of 2007. The quarter-to-quarter increase in consolidated revenues is primarily due to (i)
the addition of revenues from businesses we acquired or assets we placed in-service after the first
quarter of 2006 and (ii) higher petrochemical sales volumes during the first quarter of 2007
relative to the first quarter of 2006. Consolidated revenues increased $29.9 million
quarter-to-quarter due to the addition of revenues from acquired businesses and newly constructed
assets. Higher petrochemical sales volumes accounted for a $44.4 million increase in consolidated
revenues associated with our petrochemical marketing activities.
Operating costs and expenses were $3.1 billion for the first quarter of 2007 versus $3.0
billion for the first quarter of 2006. The $77.6 million quarter-to-quarter increase in
consolidated operating costs and expenses is primarily due to higher cost of sales associated with
our petrochemical marketing activities. The cost of sales of our petrochemical products increased
$59.0 million quarter-to-quarter primarily due to an increase in volumes sold. The first quarter
of 2007 includes $39.6 million of consolidated operating costs and expenses attributable to
businesses we acquired or assets we placed in-service after the first quarter of 2006. The
increase in costs and expenses quarter-to-quarter was partially off-set by an $18.6 million
decrease in the cost of natural gas sales, which was primarily due to lower sales prices during the
first quarter of 2007 relative to the first quarter of 2006. General and administrative costs
increased $3.1 million quarter-to-quarter.
48
Changes in our revenues and costs and expenses quarter-to-quarter are explained in part by
changes in energy commodity prices. The weighted-average indicative market price for NGLs was
$0.95 per gallon during the first quarter of 2007 versus $0.94 per gallon during the first quarter
of 2006. Our determination of the weighted-average indicative market price for NGLs is based on
U.S. Gulf Coast prices for such products at Mont Belvieu, Texas, which is the primary industry hub
for domestic NGL production. The market price of natural gas (as measured at Henry Hub) averaged
$6.77 per MMBtu during the first quarter of 2007 versus $9.01 per MMBtu during the first quarter of
2006. Polymer grade and refinery grade propylene index prices averaged $0.45 per pound and $0.40
per pound, respectively, for the first quarter of 2007 and 2006. For additional historical energy
commodity pricing information, see the table on page 46.
Equity earnings from unconsolidated affiliates were $6.2 million for the first quarter of 2007
compared to $4.0 million for the first quarter of 2006. The first quarter of 2007 includes $1.0
million of equity earnings from Jonah. In addition, an increase in volumes from offshore
production led to a collective $2.0 million increase quarter-to-quarter in equity earnings from
Poseidon and Deepwater Gateway. Equity earnings from Promix, which received additional volumes
during the first quarter of 2006 while our Norco NGL fractionator was shut-in, decreased $1.6
million quarter-to-quarter.
Operating income for the first quarter of 2007 was $186.9 million compared to $192.7 million
for the first quarter of 2006. Collectively, the aforementioned changes in revenues, costs and
expenses and equity earnings contributed to the $5.8 million decrease in operating income
quarter-to-quarter.
Interest expense increased $5.8 million quarter-to-quarter primarily due to the Operating
Partnerships issuance of junior notes in 2006 and an increase in interest rates charged on our
variable rate debt. Our average debt principal outstanding was $5.6 billion in the first quarter
of 2007 compared to $4.8 billion in the first quarter of 2006. Provision for income taxes
increased $5.9 million quarter-to-quarter primarily due to the Texas Margin Tax. Minority interest
expense associated with the third-party and related party ownership interests in the earnings of
Enterprise Products Partners and certain other subsidiaries decreased to $88.1 million for the
first quarter of 2007 from $109.4 million for the first quarter of 2006.
As a result of items noted in the previous paragraphs, our consolidated net income increased
$3.7 million quarter-to-quarter to $26.1 million in the first quarter of 2007 compared to $22.4
million in the first quarter of 2006. Net income for the first quarter of 2006 includes a $0.1
million non-cash benefit we recognized for the cumulative effect of change in accounting principle.
For additional information regarding this cumulative effect of change in accounting principle, see
Note 2 of the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included under Item 1
of this quarterly report.
The following information highlights significant quarter-to-quarter variances in gross
operating margin by business segment:
NGL Pipelines & Services. Gross operating margin from this business segment was
$190.7 million for the first quarter of 2007 compared to $171.0 million for the first quarter of
2006. The first quarter of 2007 includes $1.4 million of proceeds from business interruption
insurance claims compared to $8.3 million of proceeds during the first quarter of 2006. Gross
operating margin from our NGL pipelines and related storage business was $78.9 million for the
first quarter of 2007 compared to $69.0 million for the first quarter of 2006. Total NGL
transportation volumes increased to 1,607 MBPD during the first quarter of 2007 from 1,443 MBPD
during the first quarter of 2006. The $9.9 million quarter-to-quarter increase in gross operating
margin from this business is primarily due to higher NGL transportation volumes during the first
quarter of 2007 relative to the same quarter in 2006. Also, segment gross operating margin for the
first quarter of 2007 includes $4.9 million from the DEP South Texas NGL Pipeline, which was placed
in-service in January 2007.
Gross operating margin from NGL fractionation was $25.6 million for the first quarter of 2007
compared to $17.0 million for the first quarter of 2006. Fractionation volumes increased from 255
MBPD during the first quarter of 2006 to 351 MBPD during the first quarter of 2007. The $8.6
million quarter-to-
49
quarter increase in gross operating margin is largely due to increased fractionation volumes
at our Norco NGL fractionator. This facility suffered a reduction of volumes in the first quarter
of 2006 due to the effects of Hurricane Katrina. Also, our Mont Belvieu NGL fractionator benefited
from a 15 MBPD expansion project that was completed during the second quarter of 2006.
Gross operating margin from our natural gas processing and related NGL marketing business was
$86.2 million for the first quarter of 2007 compared to $84.9 million for the first quarter of
2006, a quarter-to-quarter increase of $1.3 million. Gross operating margin for the first quarter
of 2007 includes $2.9 million from processing contracts we acquired in connection with the Encinal
acquisition in July 2006 and $1.2 million from the Pioneer plant, which we acquired from TEPPCO in
March 2006. In general, strong regional demand for NGLs led to higher sales margins during the
first quarter of 2006 relative to the first quarter of 2007. Fee-based processing volumes
increased to 2.4 Bcf/d during the first quarter of 2007 from 1.8 Bcf/d during the first quarter of
2006. Likewise, equity NGL production increased to 70 MBPD during the first quarter of 2007 from
58 MBPD during the first quarter of 2006.
Onshore Natural Gas Pipelines & Services. Gross operating margin from this business
segment was $76.5 million for the first quarter of 2007 compared to $96.8 million for the first
quarter of 2006. Our onshore natural gas transportation volumes were 6,086 BBtu/d during the first
quarter of 2007 compared to 6,052 BBtu/d for the first quarter of 2006. Gross operating margin
from our onshore natural gas pipelines decreased $15.7 million quarter-to-quarter primarily due to
lower revenues from our San Juan Gathering System, Permian Basin Gathering Systems and Texas
Intrastate System. A significant portion of the gathering contracts on the San Juan Gathering
System have fees that are based on natural gas index prices, which were higher during the first
quarter of 2006 relative to the first quarter of 2007. The decrease in gross operating margin
quarter-to-quarter from our Texas Intrastate System is primarily due to lower average
transportation fees charged to shippers. Also, gathering volumes on our Permian Basin Gathering
Systems were lower in the first quarter of 2007 relative to the first quarter of 2006.
Gross operating margin for the first quarter of 2007 includes $1.0 million from the Piceance
Creek Gathering System, which we acquired in December 2006 and placed in-service in January 2007.
The Piceance Creek Gathering System contributed 287 BBtu/d of gathering volumes during the first
quarter of 2007. The first quarter of 2007 also includes $1.0 million of equity earnings from
Jonah.
In addition, gross operating margin from our natural gas storage business decreased $4.6
million quarter-to-quarter largely due to mechanical problems associated with three storage caverns
located at our Wilson natural gas storage facility in Texas. As a result, these wells were out of
service for the first quarter of 2007. We expect that two of the storage caverns at our Wilson
facility will return to service in the second quarter of 2007.
Offshore Pipelines & Services. Gross operating margin from this business segment was
$19.7 million for the first quarter of 2007 compared to $17.3 million for the first quarter of
2006. Gross operating margin from our offshore platforms was $13.9 million for the first quarter
of 2007 compared to $8.5 million for the first quarter of 2006. The first quarter of 2006 includes
$1.9 million of proceeds from business interruption insurance claims. Gross operating margin for
the first quarter of 2007 includes $4.0 million from our Independence Hub platform, which began
earning demand fee revenues in March 2007. We expect to earn additional fee-based revenues in the
second half of 2007 when the Independence Hub platform begins processing natural gas from
production fields in the Atwater Valley, DeSoto Canyon, Lloyd Ridge and Mississippi Canyon areas of
the Gulf of Mexico. In addition, equity earnings from Deepwater Gateway, which owns the Marco Polo
platform, increased $1.3 million quarter-to-quarter primarily due to higher processing volumes.
Gross operating margin from our offshore crude oil pipelines was $4.0 million for the first
quarter of 2007 versus $1.6 million for the first quarter of 2006. Our Marco Polo and Constitution
oil pipelines posted higher crude oil transportation volumes during the first quarter of 2007 due
to increased production activity by our customers. Collectively, gross operating margin from the
Marco Polo and Constitution oil pipelines improved $2.7 million quarter-to-quarter. Total offshore
crude oil transportation volumes were 153 MBPD during the first quarter of 2007 versus 113 MBPD
during the first quarter of 2006.
50
Gross operating margin from our offshore natural gas pipelines was $9.3 million for the first
quarter of 2007 compared to $8.8 million for the first quarter of 2006. Offshore natural gas
transportation volumes were 1,384 BBtu/d during the first quarter of 2007 versus 1,476 BBtu/d
during the first quarter of 2006. The $0.5 million increase in gross operating margin
quarter-to-quarter is primarily due to improved results on our Phoenix Gathering System. The
Phoenix Gathering System was shut-in during the first quarter of 2006 due to Hurricane Katrina.
As a result of industry losses associated with significant storms in recent years, insurance
costs for offshore operations have increased dramatically. Insurance costs for our offshore assets
were $7.6 million for the first quarter of 2007 compared to $1.6 million for the first quarter of
2006.
Petrochemical Services. Gross operating margin from this business segment was $37.6
million for the first quarter of 2007 compared to $27.5 million for the first quarter of 2006. The
$10.1 million quarter-to-quarter increase in gross operating margin is primarily due to improved
results from our octane enhancement business, which benefited from higher isooctane sales volumes
and lower maintenance costs in the first quarter of 2007 relative to the first quarter of 2006.
Gross operating margin from this business was a loss of $1.2 million for the first quarter of 2007
compared to a loss of $11.1 million for the first quarter of 2006. Our octane enhancement facility
was idle during part of the first quarter of 2007 and 2006 for its planned annual turnaround and
maintenance activities, which are scheduled during the winter months when demand for motor gasoline
and motor gasoline additives are at seasonal lows.
Gross operating margin from butane isomerization was $20.8 million for the first quarter of
2007 compared to $18.1 million for the first quarter of 2006. The quarter-to-quarter increase of
$2.7 million is primarily due to higher processing volumes and lower fuel costs. Butane
isomerization volumes increased to 95 MBPD during the first quarter of 2007 from 84 MBPD during the
first quarter of 2006. Gross operating margin from our propylene fractionation and pipeline
activities was $18.0 million for the first quarter of 2007 versus $20.5 million for the first
quarter of 2006. The quarter-to-quarter decrease in gross operating margin of $2.5 million is
primarily due to weaker polymer grade propylene sales margins during the first quarter of 2007
compared to the first quarter of 2006. Petrochemical transportation volumes were 102 MBPD during
the first quarter of 2007 compared to 87 MBPD during the first quarter of 2006.
Significant Risks and Uncertainties Weather-Related Risks
The following is a discussion of the general status of our insurance claims related to recent
significant storm events. To the extent we include any estimate or range of estimates regarding
the dollar value of damages, please be aware that a change in our estimates may occur as additional
information becomes available.
Hurricane Ivan insurance claims. We have submitted business interruption insurance
claims for our estimated losses caused by Hurricane Ivan. During the three months ended March 31,
2007 and 2006, we received $0.4 million and $10.2 million, respectively, of nonrefundable cash
proceeds from such claims. We are continuing our efforts to collect residual balances and expect
to complete the process during 2007. To the extent we receive nonrefundable cash proceeds from
business interruption insurance claims, they are recorded as a gain in our Unaudited Condensed
Statements of Consolidated Operations in the period of receipt.
We received $1.1 million and $24.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2007 and
March 31, 2006, respectively, related to property damage claims arising from Hurricane Ivan.
Hurricanes Katrina and Rita insurance claims. Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, both
significant storms, affected certain of our Gulf Coast assets in August and September of 2005,
respectively. With respect to these storms, we have $77.7 million of estimated property damage
claims outstanding at March 31, 2007, that we believe are probable of collection during the periods
2007 through 2009. We are pursuing collection of our property damage and business interruption
claims related to Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Parent Company Liquidity and Capital Resources
The parent company has no separate operating activities apart from those conducted by
Enterprise Products Partners and its Operating Partnership. The primary sources of cash flow for
the parent company are its investments in limited partner and general partner interests of
Enterprise Products Partners. The amount of cash that Enterprise Products Partners can distribute
each quarter to its partners (including the parent company) is primarily based on its earnings from
business activities, which are exposed to certain risks.
The parent companys primary cash requirements are for general and administrative costs, debt
service costs and distributions to partners. The parent company expects to fund its short-term
cash requirements for items such as general and administrative costs using operating cash flows.
Debt service requirements are expected to be funded by operating cash flows and/or refinancing
arrangements. Our parent company expects to fund cash distributions to its partners primarily with
operating cash flows.
There have been no significant changes in the terms of the Parent Companys debt obligations
since those reported in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.
Our Consolidated Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our primary cash requirements, in addition to normal operating expenses and debt service, are
for working capital, capital expenditures, business acquisitions and distributions to our partners.
We expect to fund our short-term needs for such items as operating expenses and sustaining capital
expenditures with operating cash flows and short-term revolving credit arrangements. Capital
expenditures for long-term needs resulting from internal growth projects and business acquisitions
are expected to be funded by a variety of sources (either separately or in combination) including
net cash flows provided by operating activities, borrowings under credit facilities, the issuance
of additional equity and debt securities and proceeds from divestitures of ownership interest in
assets to affiliates or third parties. We expect to fund cash distributions to partners primarily
with operating cash flows. Our debt service requirements are expected to be funded by operating
cash flows and/or refinancing arrangements.
At March 31, 2007, we had $59.0 million of unrestricted cash on hand, approximately $46.0
million of available credit under the parent companys credit facility, approximately $823.2
million of available credit under the Operating Partnerships Multi-Year Revolving Credit Facility
and approximately $131.0 million of available credit under Duncan Energy Partners Revolving Credit
Facility. We had approximately $5.6 billion in principal outstanding under consolidated debt
agreements at March 31, 2007.
As a result of Enterprise Products Partners growth objectives, we expect to access debt and
equity capital markets from time-to-time and we believe that financing arrangements to support our
growth activities can be obtained on reasonable terms. Furthermore, we believe that maintenance of
an investment grade credit rating combined with continued ready access to debt and equity capital
at reasonable rates and sufficient trade credit to operate our businesses efficiently provide a
solid foundation to meet our long and short-term liquidity and capital resource requirements.
For additional information regarding our growth strategy, see Capital Spending included
within this Item 2.
Registration Statements
The parent company, Enterprise Products Partners or Duncan Energy Partners may issue equity or
debt securities to assist in meeting their liquidity and capital spending requirements. Enterprise
Products Partners has a universal shelf registration statement on file with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission (SEC) registering the issuance of $4.0 billion of equity and debt securities.
After taking
52
into account the past issuance of securities under this universal registration statement,
Enterprise Products Partners can issue approximately $2.1 billion of additional securities under
this registration statement as of May 1, 2007.
In April 2007, Enterprise Products Partners filed a registration statement with the SEC
authorizing the issuance of up to 25,000,000 common units in connection with our distribution
reinvestment plan (DRIP). The DRIP provides unitholders of record and beneficial owners of
Enterprise Products Partners common units a voluntary means by which they can increase the number
of common units they own by reinvesting the quarterly cash distributions they would otherwise
receive into the purchase of additional common units. A total of
438,631 of Enterprise Products Partners common units were
issued in February 2007 in connection with the DRIP and a related plan. The issuance of these
units generated $12.5 million in net proceeds.
In February 2007, Duncan Energy Partners completed its initial public offering of 14,950,000
common units, the majority of proceeds from which were distributed to the Operating Partnership of
Enterprise Products Partners. Duncan Energy Partners may issue additional amounts of equity in the
future in connection with other acquisitions. For additional information regarding Duncan Energy
Partners, see Other Items Initial Public Offering of Duncan Energy Partners included within
this Item 2.
Credit Ratings of Operating Partnership
At May 1, 2007, the investment-grade credit ratings of the Operating Partnerships debt
securities were Baa3 by Moodys Investor Services; BBB- by Fitch Ratings; and BBB- by Standard and
Poors. All three ratings services have assigned to us a stable outlook with respect to their
judgment of our future business performance.

The parent company consolidates the debt of Enterprise Products Partners and Duncan
Energy Partners with that of its own; however, the parent company does not have the obligation to
make interest or debt payments with respect to the debt of Enterprise Products Partners or Duncan
Energy Partners.
Duncan Energy Partners debt obligation. Duncan Energy Partners entered into a $300.0
million revolving credit facility, all of which may be used for letters of credit, with a $30.0
million sublimit for Swingline loans. Letters of credit outstanding under this facility reduce the
amount available for borrowings. At the closing of its initial public offering, Duncan Energy
Partners made its initial borrowing of $200.0 million under the facility to fund the $198.9 million
cash distribution to the Operating Partnership and the remainder to pay debt issuance costs. This
credit facility matures in February 2011 and will be used by Duncan Energy Partners in the future
to fund working capital and other capital requirements and for general partnership purposes. For
additional information regarding the debt obligation of Duncan Energy Partners, see Note 9 of the
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included under Item 1 of this
quarterly report.

Cameron Highways debt consists of $365.0 million of Series A notes and $50.0 million of
Series B notes. Cameron Highway intends to repay its Series A notes in May 2007 using proceeds
from capital contributions from its partners. The total amount of the repayment is estimated to
be $381.3 million, which includes a $13.1 million make-whole premium and $3.2 million of accrued
interest. Enterprise Products Partners intends to fund its share of the capital contribution
using borrowings under its Operating Partnerships Multi-Year Revolving Credit Facility.
Cash Flows from Operating, Investing and Financing Activities

Net cash flows provided by operating activities is largely dependent on earnings from our
business activities. As a result, these cash flows are exposed to certain risks. We operate
predominantly in the midstream energy industry. We provide services for producers and consumers of
natural gas, NGLs and crude oil. The products that we process, sell or transport are principally
used as fuel for residential, agricultural and commercial heating; feedstocks in petrochemical
manufacturing; and in the production of motor gasoline. Reduced demand for our services or
products by industrial customers, whether because of general economic conditions, reduced demand
for the end products made with our products or increased competition from other service providers
or producers due to pricing differences or other reasons could have a negative impact on our
earnings and thus the availability of cash from operating activities.
Cash used in investing activities primarily represents expenditures for capital projects,
business combinations, asset purchases and investments in unconsolidated affiliates. Cash provided
by (or used in) financing activities generally consists of borrowings and repayments of debt,
distributions to partners and proceeds from the issuance of equity securities. Amounts presented
in our Unaudited Condensed Statements of Consolidated Cash Flows for borrowings and repayments
under debt agreements are influenced by the magnitude of cash receipts and payments under our
revolving credit facilities.
55
The following information highlights the significant quarter-to-quarter variances in our cash
flow amounts:
Comparison of Three Months Ended March 31, 2007 with
Three Months Ended March 31, 2006
Operating activities. Net cash flows provided by operating activities for the three
months ended March 31, 2007 decreased $74.6 million from that recorded for the three months ended
March 31, 2006. The following information highlights significant factors that influenced the
quarter-to-quarter change in net cash flows provided by operating activities:
|
|
|
Cash flows from operating activities are influenced by the timing of cash receipts and
disbursements. Our accounts receivable and accounts payable liquidity metrics for the
three months ended March 31, 2007 continue to evidence the strength of our underlying cash
flows and approximate our liquidity metrics for the year ended December 31, 2006.
However, metrics for the first quarter of 2007 were slightly weaker than those of the
first quarter of 2006, which were influenced by the timing of cash receipts and payments
following the initial stages of the GulfTerra Merger. Specifically, as to cash receipts,
the average collection period for accounts receivable for the three months ended March 31,
2007 was four days slower when compared to the same period in 2006, with the related
turnover rate decreasing 12% quarter-to-quarter. In addition, as to cash disbursements,
our payable turnover rate decreased 17% quarter-to-quarter. These timing-related factors
contributed to an approximate $60.4 million decrease in net cash receipts
quarter-to-quarter. |
|
|
|
|
Gross operating margin for the three months ended March 31, 2007 increased $12.0
million over that recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2006. The increase in
gross operating margin is discussed under Results of Operations within this Item 2. |
|
|
|
|
Net cash disbursements for interest and other expense items increased $17.1 million
quarter-to-quarter. On a weighted-average basis, average debt outstanding increased
approximately $0.7 billion quarter-over-quarter primarily due to our capital spending
program. |
|
|
|
|
Cash distributions from unconsolidated affiliates increased $8.7 million
quarter-to-quarter primarily due to higher distributions paid by Deepwater Gateway and
Poseidon. In general, distributions from our offshore projects were negatively affected
during the first quarter of 2006 due to the lingering effects of Hurricanes Katrina and
Rita on production volumes. |
Investing activities. Net cash used in investing activities was $614.9 million for
the three months ended March 31, 2007 compared to $348.6 million for the three months ended March
31, 2006. The $266.3 million increase in cash payments is primarily due to a $297.2 million
increase in capital expenditures quarter-to-quarter. For additional information regarding our
capital spending program, see Overview of Business Capital Spending within this Item 2.
Financing activities. Net cash provided by financing activities was $234.4 million
for the three months ended March 31, 2007 compared to net cash used in financing activities of
$149.4 million for the same period during 2006. The following information highlights significant
factors that influenced the quarter-to-quarter change in net cash provided by (or used in)
financing activities:
|
|
|
Net borrowings under our consolidated debt agreements were $148 million during the
first quarter of 2007. Enterprise Products Partners made net repayments of $410 million
under its consolidated debt agreements during the first quarter of 2006 primarily due to
the application of $430 million in net proceeds from its March 2006 equity offering to
temporarily reduce amounts outstanding under the Multi-Year Revolving Credit Facility.
Our borrowing amounts during both quarterly periods were significantly influenced by our
capital spending program. |
56
|
|
|
Contributions from minority interest holders were $316.5 million during the first
quarter of 2007 compared to $443.5 million during the first quarter of 2006.
The first quarter of 2007 includes $291.9 million of proceeds
from Duncan Energy Partners initial public offering.
Contributions from minority interest holders primarily represent net cash proceeds
received by Enterprise Products Partners and/or Duncan Energy
Partners in connection with their respective equity offerings (other
than cash receipts indirectly contributed by the parent company) and cash contributions
from joint venture partners. Enterprise Products Partners issued 18,818,190 common units
to minority interest holders in the first quarter of 2006. |
|
|
|
|
Cash distributions to partners increased $6.2 million quarter-to-quarter due to an
increase in our quarterly cash distribution rates. Also, cash distributions paid to
minority interests increased $31.9 million quarter-to-quarter primarily due to an increase
in the number of common units outstanding and the quarterly cash distribution rates of
Enterprise Products Partners. |
Critical Accounting Policies
In our financial reporting process, we employ methods, estimates and assumptions that affect
the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities
as of the date of our financial statements. These methods, estimates and assumptions also affect
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Investors should be
aware that actual results could differ from these estimates if the underlying assumptions prove to
be incorrect.
In general, there have been no significant changes in our critical accounting policies since
December 31, 2006. For a detailed discussion of these policies, please read Managements
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Critical Accounting
Policies in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006. The following
describes the estimation risk underlying our most significant financial statement items:
Depreciation methods and estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment
In general, depreciation is the systematic and rational allocation of an assets cost, less
its residual value (if any), to the periods it benefits. The majority of our property, plant and
equipment is depreciated using the straight-line method, which results in depreciation expense
being incurred evenly over the life of the assets. Our estimate of depreciation incorporates
assumptions regarding the useful economic lives and residual values of our assets. At the time we
place our assets in service, we believe such assumptions are reasonable; however, circumstances may
develop that would cause us to change these assumptions, which would change our depreciation
amounts prospectively.
At March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the net book value of our property, plant and
equipment was $10.2 billion and $9.8 billion, respectively. For additional information regarding
our property, plant and equipment, see Note 6 of the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated
Financial Statements included under Item 1 of this quarterly report.
Measuring recoverability of long-lived assets and equity method investments
In general, long-lived assets (including intangible assets with finite useful lives and
property, plant and equipment) are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable.
Equity method investments are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that there is a possible loss in value for the investment other than a
temporary decline. The carrying value of an equity method investment is not recoverable if it
exceeds the sum of discounted estimated cash flows expected to be derived from the investment.
This estimate of discounted cash flows is based on a number of assumptions including discount
rates; probabilities assigned to different cash flow scenarios; anticipated margins and volumes and
estimated useful life of the investment. A significant change in these underlying assumptions
could result in our recording an impairment charge.
57
Amortization methods and estimated useful lives of qualifying intangible assets
In general, our intangible asset portfolio consists primarily of the estimated values assigned
to certain customer relationships and customer contracts. We amortize the customer relationship
values using methods that closely resemble the pattern in which the economic benefits of the
underlying oil and natural gas resource bases from which the customers produce are estimated to be
consumed or otherwise used. We amortize the customer contract intangible assets over the estimated
remaining economic life of the underlying contract. A change in the estimates we use to determine
amortization rates of our intangible assets (e.g., oil and natural gas production curves, remaining
economic life of the contracts, etc.) could result in a material change in the amortization expense
we record and the carrying value of our intangible assets.
At March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the carrying value of our intangible asset portfolio
was $981.0 million and $1.0 billion, respectively. For additional information regarding our
intangible assets, see Note 8 of the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
included under Item 1 of this quarterly report.
Methods we employ to measure the fair value of goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase prices we paid for certain businesses over
their respective fair values and is primarily comprised of $385.9 million associated with the
GulfTerra Merger. We do not amortize goodwill; however, we test our goodwill (at the reporting
unit level) for impairment during the second quarter of each fiscal year, and more frequently, if
circumstances indicate it is more likely than not that the fair value of goodwill is below its
carrying amount. Our goodwill testing involves the determination of a reporting units fair value,
which is predicated on our assumptions regarding the future economic prospects of the reporting
unit. Our estimates of such prospects (i.e., cash flows) are based on a number of assumptions
including anticipated margins and volumes of the underlying assets or asset group. A significant
change in these underlying assumptions could result in our recording an impairment charge.
At March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006,the carrying value of our goodwill was $590.6 million
and $590.5 million, respectively. For additional information regarding our goodwill, see Note 8 of
the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included under Item 1 of this
quarterly report.
Our revenue recognition policies and use of estimates for revenues and expenses
Our use of certain estimates for revenues and expenses has increased as a result of SEC
regulations that require us to submit financial information on accelerated time frames. Such
estimates are necessary due to the timing of compiling actual billing information and receiving
third-party data needed to record transactions for financial reporting purposes. If the basis of
our estimates proves to be substantially incorrect, it could result in material adjustments in
results of operations between periods.
Reserves for environmental matters
Each of our business segments is subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations
governing environmental quality and pollution control. Such laws and regulations may, in certain
instances, require us to remediate current or former operating sites where specified substances
have been released or disposed of. We accrue reserves for environmental matters when our
assessments indicate that it is probable that a liability has been incurred and an amount can be
reasonably estimated. Our assessments are based on studies, as well as site surveys, to determine
the extent of any environmental damage and the necessary requirements to remediate this damage.
Future environmental developments, such as increasingly strict environmental laws and additional
claims for damages to property, employees and other persons resulting from current or past
operations, could result in substantial additional costs beyond our current reserves.
58
In February 2007, we reserved $6.5 million in cash received from a third party to fund
anticipated future environmental remediation costs associated with certain assets that we had
acquired from the third party. Previously, the third party had been obligated to indemnify us for
such costs. As a result of the settlement, this indemnification was terminated.
At March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, our accrued liabilities for environmental remediation
projects totaled $30.2 million and $24.2 million, respectively. These amounts were derived from a
range of reasonable estimates based upon studies and site surveys. We follow the provisions of
AICPA Statement of Position 96-1, which provides key guidance on recognition, measurement and
disclosure of remediation liabilities. We have recorded our best estimate of the cost of
remediation activities.
Natural gas imbalances
In the pipeline transportation business, natural gas imbalances frequently result from
differences in gas volumes received from and delivered to our customers. Such differences occur
when a customer delivers more or less gas into our pipelines than is physically redelivered back to
them during a particular time period. The vast majority of our settlements are through in-kind
arrangements whereby incremental volumes are delivered to a customer (in the case of an imbalance
payable) or received from a customer (in the case of an imbalance receivable). Such in-kind
deliveries are on-going and take place over several months. In some cases, settlements of
imbalances built up over a period of time are ultimately cashed out and are generally negotiated at
values which approximate average market prices over a period of time. As a result, for gas
imbalances that are ultimately settled over future periods, we estimate the value of such current
assets and liabilities using average market prices, which is representative of the estimated value
of the imbalances upon final settlement. Changes in natural gas prices may impact our estimates.
At March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, our imbalance receivables, net of allowance for
doubtful accounts were $77.3 million and $97.8 million, respectively, and are reflected as a
component of Accounts and notes receivable trade on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated
Balance Sheets. At March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, our imbalance payables were $51.7 million
and $51.2 million, respectively, and are reflected as a component of Accrued gas payables on our
Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Initial Public Offering of Duncan Energy Partners
In September 2006, Enterprise Products Partners formed a consolidated subsidiary, Duncan
Energy Partners, to acquire, own and operate a diversified portfolio of midstream energy assets. On
February 5, 2007, Duncan Energy Partners completed its initial public offering of 14,950,000 common
units (including an overallotment amount of 1,950,000 common units) at $21.00 per unit, which
generated net proceeds to Duncan Energy Partners of $291.9 million. As consideration for assets
contributed and reimbursement for capital expenditures related to these assets, Duncan Energy
Partners distributed $260.6 million of these net proceeds to the Operating Partnership along with
$198.9 million in borrowings under its credit facility and a final amount of 5,351,571 common units

Duncan Energy Partners outstanding common units. The Operating Partnership directs the business
operations of Duncan Energy Partners through its ownership and control of the general partner of
Duncan Energy Partners.
For financial reporting purposes, Enterprise Products Partners consolidates the financial
statements of Duncan Energy Partners with those of its own and reflect Duncan Energy Partners
operations in its business segments. In turn, we consolidate the financial statements of
Enterprise Products Partners with those of our own. All intercompany transactions between
Enterprise Products Partners and Duncan Energy Partners are eliminated in the preparation of such
consolidated financial statements. Public ownership of Duncan Energy Partners net assets and
earnings are presented as a component of minority interest in our consolidated financial
statements.
The borrowings of Duncan Energy Partners are presented as part of our consolidated debt;
however, neither we nor Enterprise Products Partners have any obligation for the payment of
interest or repayment of borrowings incurred by Duncan Energy Partners.
Enterprise Products Partners has significant continuing involvement with all of the
subsidiaries of Duncan Energy Partners, including the following types of transactions:
|
|
|
It utilizes storage services provided by Mont Belvieu Caverns to support its Mont
Belvieu fractionation and other businesses; |
|
|
|
|
It buys natural gas from and sells natural gas to Acadian Gas in connection with its
normal business activities; and |
|
|
|
|
It is currently the sole shipper on the DEP South Texas NGL Pipeline System. |
We may contribute other equity interests in our subsidiaries to Duncan Energy Partners and use
the proceeds we receive from Duncan Energy Partners to fund our capital spending program. We have
no obligation or commitment to make such contributions to Duncan Energy Partners.
Contractual Obligations
With the exception of the debt incurred by Duncan Energy Partners in connection with its
initial public offering, there have been no significant changes in our schedule of maturities of
long-term debt since those reported in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December
31, 2006. See Note 9 of the
60
Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included under Item 1 of
this quarterly report for additional information regarding the debt obligation of Duncan Energy
Partners.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
In May 2007, the Operating Partnership intends to make an approximate $191.0 million cash
contribution to Cameron Highway. This capital contribution, along with an equal amount contributed
by our joint venture partner in Cameron Highway, will be used by Cameron Highway to repay $365.0
million outstanding under its Series A notes and $16.3 million of related make-whole premiums and
accrued interest.
Apart from the planned repayment of Cameron Highways Series A notes, there have been no
significant changes with regards to our off-balance sheet arrangements since those reported in our
annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.

quarterly report.
We have an extensive and ongoing relationship with EPCO and its affiliates, including TEPPCO.
Our revenues from EPCO and affiliates are primarily associated with sales of NGL products. Our
expenses with EPCO and affiliates are primarily due to (i) reimbursements we pay EPCO in connection
with an administrative services agreement and (ii) purchases of NGL products. TEPPCO is an
affiliate of ours due to the common control relationship of both entities.
Many of our unconsolidated affiliates perform supporting or complementary roles to our
consolidated business operations. The majority of our revenues from unconsolidated affiliates
relate to natural gas sales to a Louisiana affiliate. The majority of our expenses with
unconsolidated affiliates pertain to payments we make to K/D/S Promix, L.L.C. for NGL
transportation, storage and fractionation services.
On February 5, 2007, Enterprise Products Partners consolidated subsidiary, Duncan Energy
Partners, completed its underwritten initial public offering of its common units. Duncan Energy
Partners was formed in September 2006 as a Delaware limited partnership to, among other things,
acquire ownership interests in certain of Enterprise Products Partners midstream energy
businesses. For additional information regarding Duncan Energy Partners, see Other Items
Initial Public Offering of Duncan Energy Partners within this section.

EPCO subleases to us certain equipment located at our Mont Belvieu facility and 100
railcars for $1 per year (the retained leases). These subleases are part of the administrative
services agreement that Enterprise Products Partners executed with EPCO in connection with its
formation in 1998. EPCO holds this equipment pursuant to operating leases for which it has
retained the corresponding cash lease payment obligation. We record the full value of such lease
payments made by EPCO as a non-cash related party operating expense, with the offset to partners
equity recorded as a general contribution to our partnership. Apart from the partnership interests
we granted to EPCO at our formation, EPCO does not receive any additional ownership rights as a
result of its contribution to us of the retained leases.
Cumulative effect of change in accounting principle
In January 2006, we adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(SFAS) 123(R), Share-Based Payment. Upon adoption of this accounting standard, we recognized,
as a benefit, a cumulative effect of change in accounting principle of $1.5 million, of which $1.4
million is included as a component of minority interest expense since the limited partners of
Enterprise Products Partners (other than the parent company) were allocated their share of this
benefit.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The accounting standard setting bodies and the SEC have recently issued the following
accounting guidance that will or may affect our financial statements:
|
|
|
SFAS 157, Fair Value Measurements, and |
|
|
|
|
SFAS 159, Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities
Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115. |
For additional information regarding these recent accounting developments and others that may
affect our future financial statements, see Note 2 of the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated
Financial Statements included under Item 1 of this quarterly report.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.
We are exposed to financial market risks, including changes in commodity prices and interest
rates. In addition, we are exposed to fluctuations in exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and
Canadian dollar with respect to a recently acquired NGL marketing business located in Canada. We
may use financial instruments (i.e., futures, forwards, swaps, options and other financial
instruments with similar characteristics) to mitigate the risks of certain identifiable and
anticipated transactions. In general, the type of risks we attempt to hedge are those related to
(i) the variability of future earnings, (ii) fair values of certain debt instruments and (iii) cash
flows resulting from changes in applicable interest rates, commodity prices or exchange rates. As
a matter of policy, we do not use financial instruments for speculative (or trading) purposes.
Interest Rate Risk Hedging Program
Our interest rate exposure results from variable and fixed rate borrowings under various debt
agreements. We manage a portion of our interest rate exposures by utilizing interest rate swaps
and similar arrangements, which allow us to convert a portion of fixed rate debt into variable rate
debt or a portion of variable rate debt into fixed rate debt.
Fair value hedges Interest rate swaps
As summarized in the following table, we had eleven interest rate swap agreements outstanding
at March 31, 2007 that were accounted for as fair value hedges.

The variable rate indicated is the all-in variable rate for the current settlement period. |
The total fair value of these eleven interest rate swaps at March 31, 2007 and December
31, 2006, was a liability of $25.0 million and $29.1 million, respectively, with an offsetting
decrease in the fair value of the underlying debt. Interest expense for the three months ended
March 31, 2007 and 2006 includes a $2.3 million loss and $0.2 million benefit from these swap
agreements, respectively.
The following table shows the effect of hypothetical price movements on the estimated fair
value of our interest rate swap portfolio and the related change in fair value of the underlying
debt at the dates indicated (dollars in thousands). Income is not affected by changes in the fair
value of these swaps; however, these swaps effectively convert the hedged portion of fixed-rate
debt to variable-rate debt. As a result, interest expense (and related cash outlays for debt
service) will increase or decrease with the change in the periodic reset rate associated with the
respective swap. Typically, the reset rate is an agreed upon index rate published for the first
day of the six-month interest calculation period.

Cash flow hedges Treasury locks
During the fourth quarter of 2006, the Operating Partnership entered into treasury
lock transactions having a notional value of $562.5 million. The Operating Partnership entered
into these transactions to hedge the underlying U.S. treasury rates related to its anticipated
issuances of debt during 2007. On February 27, 2007, the Operating Partnership entered into
additional treasury lock transactions
63
having a notional value of $437.5 million. The Operating Partnership entered into these
transactions to hedge the underlying U.S. treasury rates related to its anticipated issuances of
debt during 2007.
Each of the treasury lock transactions was designated as a cash flow hedge under SFAS 133. At
March 31, 2007, the value of the treasury locks was $21.7 million.
Commodity Risk Hedging Program
The prices of natural gas, NGLs and certain petrochemical products are subject to fluctuations
in response to changes in supply, market uncertainty and a variety of additional factors that are
beyond our control. In order to manage the price risks associated with such products, we may enter
into commodity financial instruments.
The primary purpose of our commodity risk management activities is to hedge our exposure to
price risks associated with (i) natural gas purchases, (ii) the value of NGL production and
inventories, (iii) related firm commitments, (iv) fluctuations in transportation revenues where the
underlying fees are based on natural gas index prices and (v) certain anticipated transactions
involving either natural gas, NGLs or certain petrochemical products. From time to time, we inject
natural gas into storage and utilize hedging instruments to lock in the value of our inventory
positions. The commodity financial instruments we utilize may be settled in cash or with another
financial instrument.
At March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, we had a limited number of commodity financial
instruments in our portfolio, which primarily consisted of cash flow hedges. The fair value of our
commodity financial instrument portfolio at March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006 was an asset of
$0.2 million and a liability of $3.2 million, respectively. During the three months ended March
31, 2007, we recorded $2.6 million of expense related to our commodity financial instruments. We
recorded nominal amounts of earnings from our commodity financial instruments during the three
months ended March 31, 2006.
We assess the risk of our commodity financial instrument portfolio using a sensitivity
analysis model. The sensitivity analysis applied to this portfolio measures the potential income
or loss (i.e., the change in fair value of the portfolio) based upon a hypothetical 10% movement in
the underlying quoted market prices of the commodity financial instruments outstanding at the date
indicated within the following table. The following table shows the effect of hypothetical price
movements on the estimated fair value (FV) of this portfolio at the dates presented (dollars in

Foreign Currency Hedging Program
In October 2006, we acquired all of the outstanding stock of an affiliated NGL marketing
company located in Canada from EPCO and Dan L. Duncan. Since this foreign subsidiarys functional
currency is the Canadian dollar, we could be adversely affected by fluctuations in foreign currency
exchange rates. We attempt to hedge this risk using foreign exchange purchase contracts to fix the
exchange rate. Due to the limited duration of these contracts, we utilize mark-to-market
accounting for these transactions, the effect of which has had a minimal impact on our earnings.
At March 31, 2007, we had $1.3 million of such contracts outstanding that settled in April 2007. A
10% increase or decrease in the underlying exchange rate would have a nominal effect on our
earnings.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Our management, with the participation of the chief executive officer (CEO) and chief
financial officer (CFO) of EPE Holdings, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure
controls and procedures, including internal controls over financial reporting, as of the end of the
period covered by this report. Based on their evaluation, the CEO and CFO of EPE Holdings have
concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that material
information relating to our partnership is made known to management on a timely basis. Our CEO and
CFO noted no material weaknesses in the design or operation of our internal controls over financial
reporting that are likely to adversely affect our ability to record, process, summarize and report
financial information. Also, they detected no fraud involving management or employees who have a
significant role in our internal controls over financial reporting.
There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in
Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that have not been evaluated by
management and no other factors that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that have materially
affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls over financial
reporting.
Collectively, these disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide us with
reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed in our periodic reports filed
with the SEC is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in
the SECs rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our
CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Our
management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and
all fraud. Based on the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can
provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the
Company have been detected.
The certifications of our general partners CEO and CFO required under Sections 302 and 906 of
the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 have been included as exhibits to this quarterly report on Form
10-Q.
