What s Up with the MLP Market? [MLP] distributions and dividends are not sustainable via internally-generated, traditional free cash flow generation, as measured by cash flow from operations less all capital spending. Barrons, 9/28/2015 This self-perpetuating, debt-infused bubble is coming to an end, in our view, now that bankers are re-evaluating price decks and borrowing capacity and as the energy markets swoon. Barrons, 9/28/2015 Most master limited partnerships and midstream corporates may have to make the difficult decision to either cut their distributions/dividends or suspend growth plans in them altogether. Barrons, 9/28/2015 Falling stock prices would then weaken credit quality, and a bust would truly ensue, as shares finally revert back to traditional, tried-andtrue free cash flow valuation processes, as opposed to one based on a financially-engineered payout. Barrons, 9/28/2015 In the past year, 13 MLPs nearly all exploration and production companies have cut the size of their payouts, according to Credit Suisse Group. Payouts for the industry expanded each year between 2010 and 2013, but the growth clip fell to 6% last year, and is forecast to fall again to 5.9% in 2015 and 5.8% next year. Wall Street Journal, 10/18/2015 Investors have correctly started to question these long-term growth forecasts not just for the dividend itself, but for the ability of the company long-term to grow assets. Wall Street Journal, 10/18/2015 Targa Resources (NYSE:TRGP) announced its purchase of Targa Resources Partners (NYSE:NGLS) that follows an industry trend of moving away from the MLP structure. The MLP, Targa Resources Partners, will be rolled up under the C-Corporation structure of Targa Resources in this stock-for-unit deal. SeekingAlpha, 11/3/2015 As Targa Resources Partners has reached the "high splits" of its IDR payments, the roll-up will eliminate these and significantly lower its cost of capital. SeekingAlpha, 11/3/2015 The deal will provide Targa Resources the potential to meaningfully grow its dividend as it takes the same path that Kinder Morgan chose in 2014. SeekingAlpha, 11/3/2015 As Kinder Morgan MLPs were structured, incentive payments to the general partners were growing bigger and making equity more costly. Other MLPs haven't yet matured to this stage and some are structured differently. There are currently about 120 publicly traded MLPs, up from about 70 just four years ago, and they are a long, long way off having to contend with the situation that Kinder [Morgan] found itself in. Wall Street Journal, 8/13/2014 The move makes sense for Kinder Morgan in a way that it wouldn't for others. The company's cost of equity is substantially higher than that of most of their peers because of its incentive structure. Wall Street Journal, 8/13/2014 The deal is positive for investors, and not a harbinger of the end of the structure.

Top 5 Reasons the MLP Market is Here to Stay 1. No entity level taxes is a very good thing 2. Track record for building energy infrastructure in North America although access to capital is important 3. GP control allows investors to be able to invest directly in significant midstream stories Shell, Marathon Petroleum, Anadarko Petroleum, Phillips 66 4. Long-term performance speaks for itself The Standard & Poor s MLP Index returned 28 percent annually over the past five years, compared with 22 percent for the broader 500-stock index (Bloomberg) Over the past 15 years, MLPs have outperformed the S&P 500 with a cumulative gain of over 938%, a compound annual return of 17%, versus 157% for the broader market, a compound annual return of less than 7% (OppenheimerFunds) MLPs generated 17% annualized returns over the past fifteen years, not because of any one-time event or change in relative valuation, but by consistently growing their cash distributions over that period by approximately 7% per annum (OppenheimerFunds) 5. There are still A LOT of energy infrastructure assets to be built IHS Global estimates that oil and gas infrastructure investment over the next 12 years (2014-2025) may reach $890 billion, which they deem to be a base scenario (Forbes) 7
