Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
LaSalle Plant
On August 5, 2013, DCP Midstream Partners, LP (the “Partnership”) entered into a purchase and sale agreement (the “LaSalle Purchase Agreement”) with DCP Midstream, LP (“Midstream LP”), a wholly owned subsidiary of DCP Midstream, LLC, pursuant to which the Partnership acquired from Midstream LP all of the membership interests in DCP LaSalle Plant LLC for consideration of $209 million, subject to certain customary purchase price adjustments (the “LaSalle Transaction”). The LaSalle Transaction was financed at closing using borrowings under the Partnership's revolving credit facility.
DCP LaSalle Plant, LLC owns the LaSalle Plant, a 110 MMcf/d cryogenic natural gas processing plant currently under construction in the DJ Basin in Weld County, Colorado with plans to complete an expansion to 160 MMcf/d (the “LaSalle Plant”). Commercial operations at the LaSalle Plant are expected to commence in the second half of 2013 and the expansion is expected to be completed in the first half of 2014. In connection with the LaSalle Transaction, the Partnership also entered into a 15 year fee-based processing agreement with an affiliate of DCP Midstream, LLC pursuant to which such affiliate agreed to pay (i) a fixed demand charge of 75% of the capacity (including upon expansion), and (ii) a throughput fee on all volumes processed for such affiliate at the LaSalle Plant. The Partnership estimates that it will incur an additional $33 million to complete the construction and expansion of the LaSalle Plant.
Front Range Pipeline
Also on August 5, 2013, the Partnership entered into a purchase and sale agreement (the “Front Range Purchase Agreement” and, together with the LaSalle Purchase Agreement, the “Purchase Agreements”) with Midstream LP pursuant to which the Partnership acquired from Midstream LP all of the membership interests in DCP Midstream Front Range LLC (“Front Range”) for consideration of $86 million, subject to certain customary purchase price adjustments (the “Front Range Transaction” and, together with the LaSalle Transaction, the “Transactions”). The Front Range Transaction was financed at closing using borrowings under the Partnership's revolving credit facility.
Front Range owns a one-third equity interest in Front Range Pipeline LLC, a joint venture with affiliates of Enterprise Products Partners L.P. (“Enterprise”) and Anadarko Petroleum Corporation. The joint venture was formed to construct a new raw NGL mix pipeline that will originate in the DJ Basin and extend approximately 435 miles to Skellytown, Texas (the “Front Range Pipeline”). With connections to the Mid-America Pipeline, and to the Texas Express Pipeline, in which the Partnership owns a 10% interest, the Front Range Pipeline will provide takeaway capacity and market access to the Gulf Coast for the expanding production of NGLs in the DJ Basin. The Front Range Pipeline will connect to the Partnership's LaSalle Plant as well as third party plants in the DJ Basin. The initial capacity of the Front Range Pipeline is expected to be 150,000 Bbls/d, which could be expanded to 230,000 Bbls/d with the installation of additional pump stations. Enterprise is in the process of seeking to obtain a land use permit for the pipeline in Adams County, Colorado. Enterprise is the operator of the pipeline and has informed us that, pending the outcome of the Adams County land use permit issue, it expects the Front Range Pipeline to be mechanically complete in the fourth quarter of 2013. The Partnership estimates that its share of the costs to complete construction will be an additional $86 million. The Front Range Pipeline currently has transportation agreements in place with affiliates of DCP Midstream, LLC and Anadarko Petroleum Corporation for 79,000 Bbls/d. The transportation agreements provide for ship or pay arrangements for the first 10 years for a minimum volume specified in the agreement with the last 5 years under plant dedication arrangements. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (“FERC”) will regulate the rates charged for interstate transportation service on the Front Range Pipeline as well as the associated terms and conditions of service.
DCP Midstream, LLC indirectly owns 100% of DCP Midstream, LP and also directly owns 100% of DCP Midstream GP, LLC (“GP LLC”), which is the general partner of DCP Midstream GP, LP, which is the general partner of the Partnership. Accordingly, the conflicts committee (the “Conflicts Committee”) of the Board of Directors of GP LLC (the “Board”) approved the Transactions. The Conflicts Committee, composed of independent members of the Board, retained independent legal and financial advisors to assist it in evaluating the Transactions.
Copies the Purchase Agreements are attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1 and Exhibit 2.2 and are incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing descriptions of the terms of the Purchase Agreements and the respective Transactions are not complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full and complete terms of the respective Purchase Agreements.
Amendment to Services Agreement
On August 5, 2013, in connection with the completion of the Transactions described above, the Partnership entered into the First Amendment to Services Agreement dated February 14, 2013 by and between the Partnership and Midstream LP (the “Amendment”). The Amendment increases the annual limit on the amount of expenses that the Partnership reimburses to Midstream LP by $400,000 (prorated for the remainder of the calendar year) to $29 million for incremental general and





administrative services that Midstream LP will provide to the Partnership during calendar year 2013, thereafter subject to an annual adjustment based on the Consumer Price Index. The Amendment was approved by the Conflicts Committee.
A copy of the Amendment is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description of the Amendment is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full and complete terms of the Amendment.

Cautionary Statements regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Current Report on Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements as defined under the federal securities laws, including statements regarding the projected in-service dates of the LaSalle Plant and the Front Range Pipeline as well as other aspects of the Transactions and the related assets. Although management believes that expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, no assurance can be given that such expectations will prove to be correct. In addition, these statements are subject to certain risks, uncertainties, and other assumptions that are difficult to predict and may be beyond the Partnership's control such as those described in the Partnership's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, as modified by the Current Report on Form 8-K filed on June 14, 2013, subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and other filings with the Commission. There can be no assurance that the anticipated benefits of either of the Transactions will be realized. If one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or if underlying assumptions regarding either of the Transactions prove incorrect, the Partnership's actual results may vary materially from what management anticipated, estimated, projected, or expected.

Investors are encouraged to closely consider the disclosures and risk factors contained in the Partnership's periodic reports filed from time to time with the Commission. The statements made in this Current Report on Form 8-K speak only as of the date hereof. The Partnership undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.

14.1 (b) Meeting Between Senior Representatives . Senior representatives of the Parties shall meet at a mutually acceptable time and place within fifteen (15) days after a Party's receipt of the notice of the Arbitrable Dispute in order to exchange relevant information and to attempt to resolve the matter. If a senior representative intends to be accompanied to a meeting by an attorney, he or she shall give the other Party's senior representative at least three (3) Business Days' notice of such intention so that he or she also can be accompanied by an attorney. If a Party's senior representative does not meet with the other Party's senior representative within such fifteen (15) day period, the other Party may, at such Party's sole option, either proceed to mediation under Section 14.2 or proceed directly to arbitration under Section 14.3 .
14.1 (c) Confidentiality . All negotiations are confidential and shall be treated as compromise and settlement negotiations under the United States Federal Rules of Evidence.
14.2 Mediation . If the Arbitrable Dispute has not been resolved within thirty (30) days after a Party's receipt of the notice provided in Section 14.1(a) , either Party may initiate mediation of the Arbitrable Dispute by sending the other Party a written request that the Arbitrable Dispute be mediated. The Party receiving such a written request will promptly respond to the requesting Party so that both Parties can jointly select a neutral and impartial mediator and schedule the mediation session. The dispute shall be mediated before a neutral, third party mediator applying by reference the Commercial Mediation Procedures of the American Arbitration Association within thirty (30) days after a Party's receipt of the written request for mediation. If, within thirty (30) days after a Party's receipt of the mediation notice, the Parties do not jointly select such mediator or do not schedule a mediation session or attend the scheduled mediation session, or if the mediation session conducted pursuant to this Section 14.2 does not result in a resolution of the dispute in question within three (3) Business Days after such conclusion of the mediation session, then either Party may proceed to arbitration under Section 14.3 .
14.3 Arbitration . Any Arbitrable Dispute not resolved by agreement of the Parties pursuant to Section 14.1 or pursuant to Section 14.2 shall be resolved exclusively through

28


final and binding arbitration using three (3) arbitrators applying by reference the Commercial Arbitration Rules (the “ AAA Rules ”) of the American Arbitration Association (the “ AAA ”) as in effect on the date such dispute arises, as supplemented to the extent necessary to determine any procedural appeal questions by the Federal Arbitration Act (Title 9 of the United States Code). If there is any inconsistency between the provisions of this Purchase Agreement and the AAA Rules or the Federal Arbitration Act, the provisions of this Purchase Agreement shall control.
14.3 (a) Arbitration must be initiated within the applicable time limits set forth in this Purchase Agreement and not thereafter or if no time limit is given in this Purchase Agreement, within the time period allowed by the applicable statute of limitations; provided , however , that if a Party files a notice of Arbitrable Dispute within the applicable time limits or limitations period but such Arbitrable Dispute is not resolved before the expiration of the applicable time limits or limitations period, the time period for initiating arbitration for that specific Arbitrable Dispute shall be extended for ninety (90) calendar days. Arbitration, if initiated, must be initiated by a Party (“ Claimant ”) sending written notice on the other Party (“ Respondent ”) that the Claimant elects to refer the Arbitrable Dispute to binding arbitration.
14.3 (b) Notwithstanding anything in Section 14.1 or Section 14.2 to the contrary, if either Party deems that time is of the essence in resolving the Arbitrable Dispute, it may initiate arbitration and seek interim measures, if appropriate, and then comply with the provisions for negotiations and mediation as long as they are fully completed before the commencement of the final hearing on the merits in the arbitration proceeding.
14.3 (c) Claimant's notice initiating arbitration must identify the arbitrator Claimant has appointed. The Respondent shall respond to Claimant within thirty (30) days after receipt of Claimant's notice, identifying the arbitrator Respondent has appointed. If the Respondent does not name an arbitrator within the thirty (30) day period, the AAA will name the arbitrator for Respondent's account within thirty (30) days after expiration of such period. The two (2) arbitrators so appointed or named shall select a third arbitrator within thirty (30) days after the second arbitrator has been appointed or named. If the two (2) appointed or named arbitrators cannot reach agreement upon the third (3 rd ) arbitrator within the thirty (30) day period, the AAA shall promptly name an independent arbitrator to act as the third (3 rd ) arbitrator. At least one (1) arbitrator shall be a retired or former state or federal judge. The Parties each shall pay one-half (1/2) of the compensation and expenses of the arbitrators. All arbitrators must (a) be neutral persons who have never been officers, directors, employees, or consultants or had other business or personal relationships (except acting as arbitrator) with the Parties or any of their Affiliates, officers, directors or employees, and (b) have experience in or be knowledgeable about the matters in dispute. The location of all arbitration proceedings will be Houston, Texas.

(d) If the Indemnifying Party does not give notice to the Indemnified Party of its election to contest and defend any such Claim described in Section 9.4(c)(iii) within the Notice Period, then the Indemnifying Party shall be bound by the result obtained with respect thereto by the Indemnified Party and shall be responsible for all costs incurred in connection therewith.
(e) If the Indemnifying Party is obligated to defend and indemnify the Indemnified Party, and the Parties have a conflict of interest with respect to any such Claim, then the Indemnified Party may, in its sole discretion, separately and independently contest and defend such Claim, and the Indemnifying Party shall be bound by the result obtained with respect thereto by the Indemnified Party and shall be responsible for all costs incurred in connection therewith.
(f) If the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party within the Notice Period that it shall defend the Indemnified Party against a Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to defend all appropriate Proceedings, and with counsel of its own choosing (but reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party) and such Proceedings shall be promptly settled (subject to obtaining a full and complete release of all Indemnified Parties) or prosecuted by it to a final conclusion. If the Indemnified Party desires to participate in, but not control, any such defense or settlement it may do so at its sole cost and expense. If the Indemnified Party joins in any such Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall have full authority to determine all action to be taken with respect thereto, as long as such action could not create a liability to any of the Indemnified Parties, in which case, such action would require the prior written consent of any Indemnified Party so affected.

If the Indemnified Party determines that the contest should be continued, the amount for which the Indemnifying Party would otherwise be liable hereunder shall not exceed the amount which the Indemnifying Party had agreed to pay to compromise such Claim; provided that, the other Person to the contested Claim had agreed in writing to accept such amount in payment or compromise of the Claim as of the time the Indemnifying Party made its request therefor to the Indemnified Party, and further provided that, under such proposed compromise,

24


the Indemnified Party would be fully and completely released from any further liability or obligation with respect to the matters which are the subject of such contested Claim.

(b) Negotiation . In the event of any Arbitral Dispute, the Parties shall promptly seek to resolve any such Arbitral Dispute by negotiations between senior executives of the Parties who have authority to settle the Arbitral Dispute.

The executives shall meet at a mutually acceptable time and place within fifteen (15) days after the date of the response and thereafter as often as they reasonably deem necessary to exchange relevant information and to attempt to resolve the Arbitral Dispute.

(ii) Arbitration shall be initiated by a Party serving written notice, via certified mail, on the other Party that the first Party elects to refer the Arbitral Dispute to binding arbitration, along with the name of the arbitrator appointed by the Party demanding arbitration and a statement of the matter in controversy. Within thirty (30) days after receipt of such demand for arbitration, the receiving Party shall name its arbitrator.

The two arbitrators so selected shall within thirty (30) days after their designation select a third arbitrator; provided, however, that if the two arbitrators are not able to agree on a third arbitrator within such thirty (30) day period, either Party may request the Chief U.S. District Court Judge for the District of Colorado, or such other person designated by such judge to select the third arbitrator as soon as possible.

(iii) The hearing will be conducted in Denver, Colorado, no later than sixty (60) days following the selection of the arbitrators or thirty (30) days after all prehearing discovery has been completed, whichever is later, at which the Parties shall present such evidence and witnesses as they may choose, with or without counsel. The Parties and the arbitrators should proceed diligently and in good faith in order that the award may be made as promptly as possible.
(iv) Except as provided in the Federal Arbitration Act, the decision of the arbitrators will be binding on and non-appealable by the Parties. Any such decision may be filed in any court of competent jurisdiction and may be enforced by any Party as a final judgment in such court.
(v) The arbitrators shall have no right or authority to grant or award exemplary, punitive, remote, speculative, consequential, special or incidental damages.
(vi) The Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, as modified or supplemented by the local rules of civil procedure for the U.S. District Court of Colorado, shall apply in the arbitration.

28


the arbitrators pursuant to the procedures set forth in the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.

DROPPED DOWN LASALLE PLANT AND FRONT RANGE PIPELINE
On August 5, 2013, the Partnership completed the dropdowns from DCP Midstream, the owner of our general partner, of the LaSalle Plant and a one-third interest in the Front Range Pipeline at a combined investment of over $400 million, including follow on capital. The transactions, which are subject to certain purchase price adjustments, were financed at closing through borrowings under the Partnership's revolving credit facility.
The LaSalle Plant is part of the DCP enterprise's ongoing program to expand its gathering and processing presence in the prolific DJ Basin.
LaSalle Plant highlights include:
110 million cubic feet per day (MMcf/d) deep-cut cryogenic processing plant under construction with plans to expand to 160 MMcf/d in the first half of 2014
A 15-year fee-based processing agreement with DCP Midstream providing a fixed demand charge, along with a throughput fee on all volumes processed
This fee-based plant will become part of an eight-plant system with approximately 600 MMcf/d of total processing capacity owned by the DCP enterprise. These plants serve producers in the quickly growing Niobrara shale play that is part of the DJ Basin. The LaSalle Plant is expected to be in service in the second half of 2013. The total investment for the LaSalle Plant is $242 million, of which $209 million was paid at closing with an estimated $33 million for the cost to complete and expand the plant to 160 MMcf/d.

2


Front Range Pipeline highlights include:
One-third interest in Front Range Pipeline, an NGL pipeline with affiliates of Enterprise Products Partners L.P. and Anadarko Petroleum Corporation, each owning a one-third interest, which is operated by Enterprise
Fee-based revenues backstopped by ship or pay arrangements with DCP Midstream and Anadarko
435-mile, 16-inch diameter natural gas liquids (NGL) pipeline
150,000 barrels per day of NGL pipeline capacity, expandable to approximately 230,000 barrels per day
The Front Range Pipeline will provide much needed takeaway capacity for the expanding production of natural gas liquids in the DJ Basin, serving the Niobrara shale play. The pipeline will originate in Weld County, Colorado, and extend approximately 435 miles to Skellytown, Texas. With connections to the Enterprise-operated Mid-America and Texas Express pipelines, the Front Range Pipeline will provide producers in the DJ Basin with reliable takeaway capacity and market access to the Gulf Coast, the largest NGL market in the United States. The pipeline operator expects the Front Range Pipeline to be mechanically complete in the fourth quarter of 2013. The total investment for the one-third interest in Front Range Pipeline is $172 million, of which $86 million was paid at closing with an estimated $86 million for the cost to complete construction.

SECOND QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS
We are on target to deliver on the key elements of our 2013 business plan
Second quarter 2013 Distributable Cash Flow was up over 200 percent from second quarter 2012
Financial results in line with 2013 Distributable Cash Flow forecast
Quarterly distribution increase in line with 2013 distribution growth forecast
With the dropdown of the additional 47 percent interest in the Eagle Ford system in the first quarter and the completion of the LaSalle Plant and Front Range Pipeline dropdowns, we have exceeded our $1 billion of targeted dropdowns in 2013 and are on track to deliver approximately $2.7 billion of dropdowns and organic growth in 2013/2014.
In summary, our dropdown strategy with DCP Midstream, visible pipeline of organic growth projects, as well as solid financial results, position us well to achieve our 2013 forecast.

PRESIDENT'S PERSPECTIVE
“I couldn't be more pleased with our second quarter results,” said Bill Waldheim, president of the Partnership. “The year-to-date financial results and distribution growth are in line with our 2013 forecast. With the completion of the dropdowns of the fee-based LaSalle Plant and Front Range Pipeline, we are expanding into another high growth area. This is the second year in a row that we have exceeded our $1 billion of targeted dropdowns. Once these assets are placed into service they will be accretive and are another example of how we are partnering with our general partner to fund the growth of the DCP enterprise.”
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL RESULTS
Consolidated results are shown using the pooling method of accounting, which includes results associated with DCP Midstream's ownership interests in the Eagle Ford system and Southeast Texas during its periods of ownership. While the Partnership hedges the majority of its commodity risk, prior period results reflect DCP Midstream's unhedged portion of its ownership interest in the Eagle Ford system and Southeast Texas during those periods.
Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended June 30, 2013, increased to $79 million from $44 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012. Adjusted EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2013, increased to $173 million from $146 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. These results reflect increased volumes on our Eagle Ford system, the dropdown of the Mont Belvieu fractionators and higher margins at the Marysville storage facility, partially offset by hedge settlement timing on storage. Adjusted EBITDA for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, included a non-cash write down of $14 million and $15 million, respectively, to reflect propane inventory carrying costs at the lower of cost or market price (“LCM Adjustment”) for our wholesale propane logistics segment.
On July 25, 2013, the Partnership announced a quarterly distribution of $0.71 per limited partner unit. This represents an increase of 1.4 percent over the last quarterly distribution and an increase of 6 percent over the distribution declared in the second quarter of 2012. Our distributable cash flow of $68 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013, provided a 1.0 times distribution coverage ratio adjusted for the timing of actual distributions paid during the quarter. The distribution coverage ratio adjusted for the timing of actual distributions paid during the last four quarters was approximately 1.1 times.

OPERATING RESULTS BY BUSINESS SEGMENT
Natural Gas Services - Adjusted segment EBITDA increased to $72 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013, from $69 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012, reflecting higher volumes at our Eagle Ford system and the operation of our fee-based wholly-owned Eagle Plant, partially offset by hedge settlement timing on storage.
Adjusted segment EBITDA decreased to $137 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013, from $161 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012, reflecting hedge settlement timing on storage, lower NGL prices, lower volumes across certain of our assets and timing of operating expenses, partially offset by higher volumes at our Eagle Ford system, the operation of our fee-based wholly-owned Eagle Plant and higher unit margins attributable to our natural gas storage and pipeline assets.
Results are shown using the pooling method of accounting, which includes the additional 47 percent of the Eagle Ford system for the three months ended March 31, 2013, and 80 percent of the Eagle Ford system for the six months ended June 30, 2012. Results also include 67 percent of Southeast Texas for the three months ended March 31, 2012. These results reflect the unhedged portion of the Eagle Ford system and Southeast Texas associated with DCP Midstream's ownership interest during those periods.
NGL Logistics - Adjusted segment EBITDA increased to $22 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013, from $11 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012. Adjusted segment EBITDA increased to $45 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013, from $23 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. These results reflect the July 2012 dropdown of the Mont Belvieu fractionators, higher margins at the Marysville storage facility and higher throughput on certain of our pipelines.
Wholesale Propane Logistics - Adjusted segment EBITDA increased to $1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013, from a loss of $19 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012, reflecting increased unit margins and the 2012 LCM Adjustment of $14 million.
Adjusted segment EBITDA increased to $23 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013, from a loss of $1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The 2013 results reflect increased unit margins and the exporting of propane from the Chesapeake terminal partially

offset by a non-cash write off of a discontinued construction project. 2012 results reflect the LCM Adjustment of $15 million and reduced demand as a result of near record warm weather.
CORPORATE AND OTHER
The changes in depreciation and amortization expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, reflect growth, as well as a change in the estimated useful lives of our assets.

CAPITALIZATION
At June 30, 2013, the Partnership had $1,740 million of total debt outstanding comprised of $1,590 million of senior notes and $150 million outstanding under our revolver. Total unused revolver capacity was approximately $850 million. Our leverage ratio pursuant to our credit facility for the quarter ended June 30, 2013, was approximately 3.7 times. Our effective interest rate on our overall debt position, as of June 30, 2013, was 3.7 percent.
COMMODITY DERIVATIVE ACTIVITY
The objective of our commodity risk management program is to protect downside risk in our distributable cash flow. We utilize mark-to-market accounting treatment for our commodity derivative instruments. Mark-to-market accounting rules require companies to record currently in earnings the difference between their contracted future derivative settlement prices and the forward prices of the underlying commodities at the end of the accounting period. Revaluing our commodity derivative instruments based on futures pricing at the end of the period creates assets or liabilities and associated non-cash gains or losses. Realized gains or losses from cash settlement of the derivative contracts occur monthly as our physical commodity sales are realized or when we rebalance our portfolio. Non-cash gains or losses associated with the mark-to-market accounting treatment of our commodity derivative instruments do not affect our distributable cash flow.
For the three months ended June 30, 2013, commodity derivative activity and total revenues included non-cash gains of $58 million. This compares to non-cash gains of $65 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012. Net hedge cash settlements for the three months ended June 30, 2013, were receipts of $13 million. Net hedge cash settlements for the three months ended June 30, 2012, were receipts of $10 million.

6


For the six months ended June 30, 2013, commodity derivative activity and total revenues included non-cash gains of $48 million. This compares to non-cash gains of $42 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. Net hedge cash settlements for the six months ended June 30, 2013, were receipts of $23 million. Net hedge cash settlements for the six months ended June 30, 2012, were receipts of $28 million. While our earnings will continue to fluctuate as a result of the volatility in the commodity markets, our commodity derivative contracts mitigate a substantial portion of the risk of weakening commodity prices thereby stabilizing distributable cash flows.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION
This press release and the accompanying financial schedules include the following non-GAAP financial measures: distributable cash flow, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted segment EBITDA, adjusted net income attributable to partners, and adjusted net income per limited partner unit. The accompanying schedules provide reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. The Partnership's non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to its financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP, including operating revenues, net income or loss attributable to partners, net cash provided by or used in operating activities or any other measure of liquidity or financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP as a measure of operating performance, liquidity or ability to service debt obligations and make cash distributions to unitholders. The non-GAAP financial measures presented by us may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies because they may not calculate their measures in the same manner.

We define distributable cash flow as net cash provided by or used in operating activities, less maintenance capital expenditures, net of reimbursable projects, plus or minus adjustments for non-cash mark-to-market of derivative instruments, proceeds from divestiture of assets, net income attributable to noncontrolling interests net of depreciation and income tax, net changes in operating assets and liabilities, and other adjustments to reconcile net cash provided by or used in operating activities. Historical distributable cash flow is calculated excluding the impact of retrospective adjustments related to any acquisitions presented under the pooling method. Maintenance capital expenditures are capital expenditures made where we add on to or improve capital assets owned, or acquire or construct new capital assets, if such expenditures are made to maintain, including over the long-term, the Partnership's operating or earnings capacity. Non-cash mark-to-market of derivative instruments is considered to be non-cash for the purpose of computing distributable cash flow because settlement will not occur until future periods, and will be impacted by future changes in commodity prices and interest rates. Distributable cash flow is used as a supplemental liquidity and performance measure by the Partnership's management and by external users of its financial statements, such as investors, commercial banks, research analysts and others, to assess the Partnership's ability to make cash distributions to its unitholders and its general partner.

We define adjusted EBITDA as net income or loss attributable to partners less interest income, noncontrolling interest in depreciation and income tax expense and non-cash commodity derivative gains, plus interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization expense and non-cash commodity derivative losses. The commodity derivative non-cash losses and gains result from the marking to market of certain financial derivatives used by us for risk management purposes that we do not account for under the hedge method of accounting. These non-cash losses or gains may or may not be realized in future periods when the derivative contracts are settled, due to fluctuating commodity prices. We define adjusted segment EBITDA for each segment as segment net income or loss attributable to partners less non-cash commodity derivative gains for that segment, plus depreciation and amortization expense and non-cash commodity derivative losses for that segment, adjusted for any noncontrolling interest on depreciation and amortization expense for that segment. The Partnership's adjusted EBITDA equals the sum of its adjusted segment EBITDAs, plus general and administrative expense.

Adjusted EBITDA is used as a supplemental liquidity and performance measure and adjusted segment EBITDA is used as supplemental performance measure by the Partnership's management and by external users of its financial statements, such as investors, commercial banks, research analysts and others to assess:
financial performance of the Partnership's assets without regard to financing methods, capital structure or historical cost basis;
the Partnership's operating performance and return on capital as compared to those of other companies in the midstream energy industry, without regard to financing methods or capital structure;
viability and performance of acquisitions and capital expenditure projects and the overall rates of return on investment opportunities;
performance of the Partnership's business excluding non-cash commodity derivative gains or losses; and
in the case of Adjusted EBITDA, the ability of the Partnership's assets to generate cash sufficient to pay interest costs, support its indebtedness, make cash distributions to its unitholders and general partner, and finance maintenance capital expenditures.
We define adjusted net income attributable to partners as net income attributable to partners, plus non-cash derivative losses, less non-cash derivative gains. Adjusted net income per limited partner unit is then calculated from adjusted net income attributable to partners. These non-cash derivative losses and gains result from the marking to market of certain financial derivatives used by us for risk management purposes that we do not account for under the hedge method of accounting. Adjusted net income attributable to partners and adjusted net income per limited partner unit are provided to illustrate trends in income excluding these non-cash derivative losses or gains, which may or may not be realized in future periods when derivative contracts are settled, due to fluctuating commodity prices.
