El Paso Corporation (NYSE: EP) is today reporting second quarter 2011
financial and operational results for the company. Key highlights
include:
-
Second quarter adjusted diluted earnings per share (EPS) rose 14
percent from the second quarter of 2010 to $0.25
-
Quarterly E&P production was 823 million cubic feet equivalent per day
(MMcfe/d), including Four Star Oil & Gas Company (Four
Star) unconsolidated affiliate volumes, up 4 percent from the second
quarter of 2010
-
Oil and condensate production ramping up. On track for a 35 to 45
percent increase over 2010 levels
-
El Paso's latest completed Wolfcamp Shale well had an initial
24-hour production rate of 660 barrels of oil equivalent
-
Three more pipeline expansion projects placed in service, the Southern
Natural Gas South System III Phase II, Southeast Supply Header
Phase II, and the Ruby Pipeline
"We are very pleased with our financial and operational performance,"
said Doug Foshee, chairman, president, and chief executive officer of El
Paso Corporation. "With the completion of our Ruby Pipeline, we have
placed three major projects into service this year and will complete two
more by year end. And with natural gas likely to be the cornerstone for
growth in electric power development, we continue to see exciting growth
opportunities on the horizon. Execution in our E&P business is
outstanding, with oil programs ramping up with results that are equal to
or better than expectations. We are very encouraged by the completion of
our first 7,000 foot plus lateral in the Wolfcamp Shale, and we see this
program delivering many years of very profitable development across our
large acreage position. On the financial front, we continue to make
excellent progress, improving our balance sheet primarily through drop
downs to El Paso Pipeline Partners. This progress has put us in position
to separate into two outstanding companies by year end. We believe this
is a great time to be a shareholder of El Paso."

Financial Results -- Second Quarter 2011
For the second quarter 2011, El Paso reported net income attributable to
EPC common stockholders of $262 million, or $0.34 per diluted share,
compared with net income of $147 million, or $0.21 per diluted share,
for the second quarter 2010. Earnings for second quarter 2011 and 2010,
after adjusting for impacts of E&P financial derivatives and other
items, were $0.25 and $0.22 per diluted share, respectively.
El Paso's effective tax rate for reported earnings for the second
quarter 2011 was 10 percent, which was favorably impacted by the
resolution of tax matters. Absent this item, the effective rate for the
quarter would have been 14 percent.

Financial Results -- Six Months Ended June 30, 2011
For the six months ended June 30, 2011, El Paso reported net income
attributable to EPC common stockholders of $324 million, or $0.42 per
diluted share, compared with $526 million, or $0.72 per diluted share,
for the first six months of 2010. Earnings for the first six month
periods of 2011 and 2010, after adjusting for impacts of E&P financial
derivatives and other items, were both $0.55 per diluted share.
El Paso's effective tax rate for reported earnings for the six months
ended June 30, 2011 was 11 percent, which was favorably impacted by the
resolution of tax matters. Absent this item, the effective rate for the
six months would have been 16 percent. The company's effective tax rate
is expected to remain well below the statutory rate due to the growth of
earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests as a result of its
drop-down activities with El Paso Pipeline Partners, L.P.

Pipeline Group The Pipeline Group's Segment EBIT for the quarter ended
June 30, 2011 was $428 million, compared with $472 million for the same
period in 2010. Second quarter 2010 results include an $80 million gain
from the sale of Mexican pipeline and compression assets. Results for
the 2011 period benefited from higher reservation revenues due to
several expansion projects that went into service in 2010 and 2011 and
higher rates on the Tennessee Gas Pipeline system effective June 1, 2011
due to its November 2010 rate case. In addition, second quarter 2011
results were favorably impacted by allowance for equity funds used
during construction on expansion projects that were not yet in service
during the quarter, principally the Ruby Pipeline project. Also
contributing favorably to second quarter 2011 results was a benefit
related to BG LNG Services' election not to continue with Phase B of
Southern LNG's Elba III expansion. Partially offsetting the effects of
these favorable items was a decline in reservation revenues from the El
Paso Natural Gas system due to competitive pressures and market
conditions in the southwest United States.

(1) 2010 results reflect an $80 million gain on the sale of Mexican
pipeline and compression assets
(2) Includes proportionate share of jointly-owned pipelines and excludes
volumes relating to Mexican assets which were sold in the second quarter
of 2010
Exploration and Production The Exploration and Production segment
reported $250 million of Segment EBIT for the quarter ended June 30,
2011, compared with $103 million of Segment EBIT for the same period in
2010. The principal reason for the increase was a $101 million
quarter-to-quarter change in the mark-to-market impacts of financial
derivatives. Also contributing to the increase were higher volumes and
improved oil and condensate prices. Partially offsetting these factors
was higher DD&A, which rose due to increased volumes and a higher
per-unit rate, reflecting the capital focus on more liquids-rich
programs.
Second quarter 2011 production volumes averaged 823 MMcfe/d, including
61 MMcfe/d of Four Star unconsolidated affiliate volumes. Interruptions
involving third-party infrastructure reduced second quarter production
by approximately 17 MMcfe/d. Second quarter 2010 production volumes
averaged 788 MMcfe/d, including 61 MMcfe/d of Four Star unconsolidated
affiliate volumes. Total per-unit cash operating costs decreased
slightly to an average of $1.75 per Mcfe in the second quarter 2011,
down from $1.77 per Mcfe for the same period in 2010.

Hedge Positions
The company actively manages its exposure to commodity prices using
various hedging strategies. During the quarter, the company entered into
additional natural gas hedges for the remainder of 2011. After adding
these positions, approximately 80 percent of the company's remaining
2011 domestic natural gas production is hedged at an average floor price
of $5.89 per MMBtu. Approximately 85 percent of the company's remaining
2011 oil production is hedged with a floor of $85.99 and a ceiling of
$91.88. Further information on the company's hedging activities will be
available in El Paso's Financial and Operational Reporting Package for
Second Quarter 2011, which can be found in the Investors section of El
Paso's website.
Marketing
Marketing reported a Segment EBIT loss of $21 million for the quarter
ended June 30, 2011, compared with a loss of $49 million for the same
period in 2010. The primary reason for the improvement was a $35 million
change in the fair value of the legacy PJM power contracts in 2010. This
was partially offset by a $7 million loss related to settlements on an
affiliated fuel supply agreement.
Other Operations
During the second quarter of 2011, Segment EBIT from Other Operations
was a loss of $41 million, compared with Segment EBIT of $26 million for
the same period in 2010. Second quarter 2011 results include a $27
million loss, primarily associated with the repurchase of approximately
$350 million of debt. The negative variance in quarter-to-quarter
results is also a result of adjustments to various legacy matters.
Detailed financial and operational information for the company will be
posted at www.elpaso.com
in the Investors section.
Webcast Information El Paso Corporation has scheduled a live webcast to
review its second quarter 2011 results on August 4, 2011, beginning at

in the Investors section. During the webcast, management will refer to
slides that will be posted on the website. The slides will be available
one hour before the webcast and can be accessed in the Investors
section. A limited number of telephone lines will also be available to
participants by dialing (888) 710-3574 (conference ID #79530038) 10
minutes prior to the start of the webcast.

Disclosure of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Securities and Exchange Commission's Regulation G applies to any
public disclosure or release of material information that includes a
non-GAAP financial measure. In the event of such a disclosure or
release, Regulation G requires (i) the presentation of the most directly
comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with
GAAP and (ii) a reconciliation of the differences between the non-GAAP
financial measure presented and the most directly comparable financial
measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. The required
presentations and reconciliations are attached, or included in the body
of this release. Additional detail regarding non-GAAP financial measures
can be reviewed in El Paso's Financial and Operational Reporting
Package, which will be posted at www.elpaso.com
in the Investors section.
On January 1, 2011, El Paso began using the non-GAAP financial measure
"segment earnings before interest expense and income taxes" or "Segment
EBIT" to assess the operating results and effectiveness of the company
and its business segments. The company believes that Segment EBIT is
useful to its investors because it allows them to use the same
performance measure analyzed internally by our management to evaluate
the performance of our businesses and investments without regard to the
manner in which they are financed or the company's capital structure.
The company defines Segment EBIT as net income (loss) adjusted for
interest and debt expense and income taxes. Segment EBIT does not
reflect a reduction for any amounts attributable to noncontrolling
interests. The 2010 amounts have been conformed to reflect the company's
current performance measure.
Adjusted EPS is defined as diluted earnings per share adjusted for
certain items that the company considers to be significant to
understanding our underlying performance for a given period. Adjusted
EPS is useful in analyzing the company's on-going earnings potential and
understanding certain significant items impacting the comparability of
El Paso Corporation's results. For 2011, Adjusted EPS is earnings per
share attributable to El Paso Corporation common stockholders adjusted
for the impact of E&P financial derivatives, a loss on debt
extinguishment, changes in fair value of legacy indemnification and
other legacy items, and the impact of the estimated annual effective tax
rate. For 2010, Adjusted EPS is earnings per share attributable to El
Paso Corporation common stockholders adjusted for the impact of E&P
financial derivatives, ceiling test charges, changes in legacy
derivative contracts and other legacy items, the gain on sale of Mexican
pipeline assets, the impact of health care legislation, and the impact
of the estimated annual effective tax rate.
Exploration and Production per-unit total cash operating costs is a
non-GAAP measure calculated on a per Mcfe basis equal to total operating
expenses less DD&A, transportation costs, costs of products and
services, and ceiling test charges, divided by total consolidated
equivalent production. It is a valuable measure used by oil and gas
companies and analysts to evaluate operating performance and efficiency.
El Paso believes that the non-GAAP financial measures described above
are also useful to investors because these measurements are used by many
companies in the industry as a measurement of operating and financial
performance and are commonly employed by financial analysts and others
to evaluate the operating and financial performance of the company and
its business segments and to compare it with the performance of other
companies within the industry. These non-GAAP financial measures may not
be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies and
should not be used as a substitute for net income, earnings per share or
other measures of financial performance presented in accordance with
GAAP.
El Paso Corporation provides natural gas and related energy products in
a safe, efficient, and dependable manner. The company owns North
America's largest interstate natural gas pipeline system, one of North
America's largest independent exploration & production companies and an
emerging midstream business. El Paso owns a 42 percent limited partner
interest, and the 2 percent general partner interest in El Paso Pipeline
Partners, L.P. El Paso Corporation's Board of Directors has granted
initial approval of a plan to separate the company into two publicly
traded companies through a tax-free spinoff of its exploration and
production business to shareholders before year-end 2011. For more

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This release includes certain forward-looking statements and
projections. The company has made every reasonable effort to ensure that
the information and assumptions on which these statements and
projections are based are current, reasonable, and complete. However, a
variety of factors could cause actual results to differ materially from
the projections, anticipated results or other expectations expressed in
this release, including, without limitation, our ability to execute our
strategy of selling assets to El Paso Pipeline Partners, L.P.; our
ability to pay dividends declared; changes in unaudited and/or
unreviewed financial information; volatility in, and access to, the
capital markets; our ability to implement and achieve objectives in our
2011 plan and guidance, including achieving our earnings and cash flow
targets; our ability to complete the announced tax-free spinoff of our
E&P business; the effects of any changes in accounting rules and
guidance; our ability to meet production volume targets in our
Exploration and Production segment; the uncertainty of estimating proved
reserves and unproved resources, the future level of service and capital
costs, the availability and cost of financing to fund our future
exploration and production operations; the success of our drilling
programs with regard to proved undeveloped reserves and unproved
resources; our ability to successfully identify new midstream
opportunities; our ability to comply with the covenants in our various
financing documents; our ability to obtain necessary governmental
approvals for proposed pipeline and E&P projects and our ability to
successfully construct and operate such projects; the risks associated
with recontracting of transportation commitments by our pipelines;
regulatory uncertainties associated with pipeline rate cases; actions by
the credit rating agencies; the successful close of our financing
transactions; our ability to successfully execute our liability
management programs at desired prices; credit and performance risk of
our lenders, trading counterparties, customers, vendors and suppliers;
changes in commodity prices and basis differentials for oil, natural
gas, and power; general economic and weather conditions in geographic
regions or markets served by the company and its affiliates, or where
operations of the company and its affiliates are located, including the
risk of a global recession and negative impact on natural gas demand;
the uncertainties associated with governmental regulation; political and
currency risks associated with international operations of the company
and its affiliates; competition; and other factors described in the
company's (and its affiliates') Securities and Exchange Commission
filings. While the company makes these statements and projections in
good faith, neither the company nor its management can guarantee that
anticipated future results will be achieved. Reference must be made to
those filings for additional important factors that may affect actual
results. The company assumes no obligation to publicly update or revise
