2. FORWAR D - L OO KIN G STATEMEN TS
The statements included in this presentation contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933
and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, each as amended. These forward-looking statements (which in many instances can be
identified by words like “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “plans,” “believes,” and other comparable words) are based on the
Partnership’s current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effects on the Partnership, but are
not guarantees of future performance, and involve risks and uncertainties. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-
looking statements, as many of these factors are beyond our ability to control or predict, and which speak only as of the date hereof.
The Partnership undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements after the date they are made,
whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. You are urged to carefully review and consider the cautionary
statements and other disclosures made in the Partnership’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year 2014, including under the
heading “Risk Factors,” which identify and discuss significant risks, uncertainties, and various other factors that could cause actual
results to vary significantly from those expected or implied in the forward-looking statements.
Among the factors that could cause results to differ materially are those risks discussed in the periodic reports filed with the SEC,
including MarkWest’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. You are urged to carefully review and
consider the cautionary statements and other disclosures, including those under the heading “Risk Factors,” made in those documents.
If any of the uncertainties or risks develop into actual events or occurrences, or if underlying assumptions prove incorrect, it could
cause actual results to vary significantly from those expressed in the presentation, and MarkWest’s business, financial condition, or
results of operations could be materially adversely affected. Key uncertainties and risks that may directly affect MarkWest’s
performance, future growth, results of operations, and financial condition, include, but are not limited to:
• Fluctuations and volatility of natural gas, NGL products, and oil prices;
• A reduction in natural gas or refinery off-gas production which MarkWest gathers, transports, processes, and/or
fractionates;
• A reduction in the demand for the products MarkWest produces and sells;
• Financial credit risks / failure of customers to satisfy payment or other obligations under MarkWest’s contracts;
• Effects of MarkWest’s debt and other financial obligations, access to capital, or its future financial or operational flexibility
or liquidity;
• Construction, procurement, and regulatory risks in our development projects;
• Hurricanes, fires, and other natural and accidental events impacting MarkWest’s operations, and adequate insurance
coverage;
• Terrorist attacks directed at MarkWest facilities or related facilities;
• Changes in and impacts of laws and regulations affecting MarkWest operations and risk management strategy; and
• Failure to integrate recent or future acquisitions.

3. N ON - G AAP MEASU R ES
Distributable Cash Flow (DCF), Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP Financial Measures, and should not be considered separately from or as a
substitute for net income, income from operations, or cash flow as reflected in our financial statements. The GAAP measure most
directly comparable to DCF and Adjusted EBITDA is net income (loss). In general, the Partnership defines DCF as net income (loss)
adjusted for (i) depreciation, amortization, impairment, and other non-cash operating expenses; (ii) amortization of deferred financing
costs and debt discount; (iii) loss on redemption of debt, net of tax benefit; (iv) impairment of unconsolidated affiliates; (v) gain on
sale of unconsolidated affiliate; (vi) non-cash (earnings) loss from unconsolidated affiliates; (vii) distributions from (contributions to)
unconsolidated affiliates (net of affiliates’ growth capital expenditures); (viii) non-cash compensation expense; (ix) non-cash derivative
activity; (x) losses (gains) on the sale or disposal of property, plant and equipment (“PP&E”), net of tax; (xi) provision for deferred
income taxes; (xii) cash adjustments for non-controlling interest of consolidated subsidiaries; (xiii) revenue deferral adjustment; (xiv)
losses (gains) relating to other miscellaneous non-cash amounts affecting net income for the period; and (xv) maintenance capital
expenditures, net of joint venture partner contributions and proceeds from trade-in of PP&E. The Partnership defines Adjusted EBITDA
as net income (loss) adjusted for (i) depreciation, amortization, impairment, and other non-cash operating expenses; (ii) interest
expense; (iii) amortization of deferred financing costs and debt discount; (iv) loss on redemption of debt; (v) losses (gains) on the sale
or disposal of PP&E; (vi) impairment of unconsolidated affiliates; (vii) gain on sale of unconsolidated affiliate; (viii) non-cash derivative
activity; (ix) non-cash compensation expense; (x) provision for income taxes; (xi) adjustments for cash flow from unconsolidated
affiliates; and (xii) losses (gains) relating to other miscellaneous non-cash amounts affecting net income for the period.
DCF is a financial performance measure used by management as a key component in the determination of cash distributions paid to
unitholders. The Partnership believes DCF is an important financial measure for unitholders as an indicator of cash return on
investment and to evaluate whether the Partnership is generating sufficient cash flow to support quarterly distributions. In addition,
DCF is commonly used by the investment community because the market value of publicly traded partnerships is based, in part, on DCF
and cash distributions paid to unitholders.
Adjusted EBITDA is a financial performance measure used by management, industry analysts, investors, lenders, and rating agencies to
assess the financial performance and operating results of the Partnership’s ongoing business operations. Additionally, the Partnership
believes Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors for trending, analyzing and benchmarking our operating results from
period to period as compared to other companies that may have different financing and capital structures.
Net Operating Margin is a financial performance measure used by management and investors to evaluate the underlying baseline
operating performance of our contractual arrangements. Management also uses Net Operating Margin to evaluate the Partnership’s
financial performance for purposes of planning and forecasting.
Please see the Appendix for reconciliations of Distributable Cash Flow, Adjusted EBITDA, and Net Operating Margin to the most directly
comparable GAAP measure.
