Item 9.01. Financial Statements and Exhibits
(d) Exhibit 99.1 Press Release dated February 6, 2013
Item 2.02 and Item 7.01. Results of Operations and Financial Condition; Regulation FD Disclosure
Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. (the Partnership) today issued a press release reporting its fourth quarter and full year 2012 results. We are furnishing the press release, attached as Exhibit 99.1, pursuant to Item 2.02 and Item 7.01 of Form 8-K. Pursuant to Item 7.01, we are providing first quarter and full year 2013 detailed guidance for financial performance. In accordance with General Instruction B.2. of Form 8-K, the information presented herein under Item 2.02 and Item 7.01 shall not be deemed filed for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Exchange Act or Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
Disclosure of First Quarter and Full Year 2013 Guidance
We based our guidance for the three-month period ending March 31, 2013 and twelve-month period ending December 31, 2013 on assumptions and estimates that we believe are reasonable, given our assessment of historical trends (modified for changes in market conditions), business cycles and other reasonably available information. Projections covering multi-quarter periods contemplate inter-period changes in future performance resulting from new expansion projects, seasonal operational changes (such as NGL sales) and acquisition synergies. Our assumptions and future performance, however, are both subject to a wide range of business risks and uncertainties, so no assurance can be provided that actual performance will fall within the guidance ranges. Please refer to information under the caption Forward-Looking Statements and Associated Risks below. These risks and uncertainties, as well as other unforeseeable risks and uncertainties, could cause our actual results to differ materially from those in the following table. The operating and financial guidance provided below is given as of the date hereof, based on information known to us as of February 5, 2013. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements.
To supplement our financial information presented in accordance with GAAP, management uses additional measures known as non-GAAP financial measures in its evaluation of past performance and prospects for the future. Management believes that the presentation of such additional financial measures provides useful information to investors regarding our financial condition and results of operations because these measures, when used in conjunction with related GAAP financial measures, (i) provide additional information about our core operations and ability to generate and distribute cash flow, (ii) provide investors with the financial analytical framework upon which management bases financial, operational, compensation and planning decisions and (iii) present measurements that investors, rating agencies and debt holders have indicated are useful in assessing us and our results of operations. EBIT and EBITDA (each as defined below in Note 1 to the Operating and Financial Guidance table) are non-GAAP financial measures. Net income represents one of the two most directly comparable GAAP measures to EBIT and EBITDA. In Note 10 below, we reconcile net income to EBIT and EBITDA for the 2013 guidance periods presented. Cash flow from operating activities is the other most comparable GAAP measure. We do not, however, reconcile cash flows from operating activities to EBIT and EBITDA, because such reconciliations are impractical for a forecasted period. We encourage you to visit our website at www.paalp.com (in particular the section entitled Non-GAAP Reconciliations), which presents a historical reconciliation of EBIT and EBITDA as well as certain other commonly used non-GAAP financial measures. In addition, within our guidance, we have highlighted the impact of equity compensation expense. Due to the nature of the selected items, certain of the selected items impacting comparability may impact certain non-GAAP financial measures but not impact other non-GAAP financial measures.

The projected average foreign exchange rate is $1.00 Canadian to $1.00 U.S. for the three-month period ending March 31, 2013 and the twelve-month period ending December 31, 2013. The rate as of February 5, 2013 was $1.00 Canadian to $1.00 U.S. A $0.05 change in the FX rate will impact annual adjusted EBITDA by approximately $21 million. |
(2) |
We calculate net income available to limited partners based on the distributions pertaining to the current periods net income. After adjusting for the appropriate periods distributions, the remaining undistributed earnings or excess distributions over earnings, if any, are allocated to the general partner, limited partners and participating securities in accordance with the contractual terms of the partnership agreement and as further prescribed under the two-class method. |

General partner (GP) |
As the context requires, general partner refers to any or all of (i) PAA GP LLC, the owner of our 2% general partner interest, (ii) Plains AAP, L.P., the sole member of PAA GP LLC and owner of our incentive distribution rights and (iii) Plains All American GP LLC, the general partner of Plains AAP, L.P. |
2. Operating Segments. We manage our operations through three operating segments: (i) Transportation, (ii) Facilities and (iii) Supply and Logistics. The following is a brief explanation of the operating activities for each segment as well as key metrics.
a. Transportation. Our transportation segment operations generally consist of fee-based activities associated with transporting crude oil, NGL and refined products on pipelines, gathering systems, trucks and barges. We generate revenue through a combination of tariffs, third-party leases of pipeline capacity and transportation fees. Our transportation segment also includes our equity earnings from our investments in Settoon Towing and the White Cliffs, Butte, Frontier and Eagle Ford pipeline systems, in which we own non-controlling interests.
Pipeline volume estimates are based on historical trends, production forecasts, estimated refinery operating levels, and assumed completion of internal growth projects. Actual volumes will be influenced by maintenance schedules at refineries, actual production trends, weather and other natural occurrences including hurricanes, changes in the quantity of inventory held in tanks, and other external factors beyond our control. We forecast adjusted segment profit using the volume assumptions in the table below, priced at forecasted tariff rates, less estimated field operating costs and G&A expenses. Field operating costs do not include depreciation. Actual segment profit could vary materially depending on the level and mix of volumes transported or expenses incurred during the period. The following table summarizes our total transportation volumes and highlights major systems that are significant either in total volumes transported or in contribution to total transportation segment profit.

b. Facilities. Our facilities segment operations generally consist of fee-based activities associated with providing storage, terminalling and throughput services for crude oil, refined products, NGL and natural gas, as well as NGL fractionation and isomerization services. We generate revenue through a combination of month-to-month and multi-year leases and processing arrangements.
Revenues generated in this segment include (i) storage fees that are generated when we lease storage capacity, (ii) terminalling fees, or throughput fees, that are generated when we receive crude oil, refined products or NGL from one connecting source and redeliver the applicable product to another connecting carrier, (iii) loading and unloading fees at our railcar facilities, (iv) hub service fees associated with natural gas park and loan activities, interruptible storage services and wheeling and balancing services, (v) revenues from the sale of natural gas, (vi) fees from NGL fractionation and isomerization and (vii) fees from gas processing services. Adjusted segment profit is forecasted using the volume assumptions in the table below, priced at forecasted rates, less estimated field operating costs and G&A expenses. Field operating costs do not include depreciation.

(2) Mid-point of guidance.
c. Supply and Logistics. Our supply and logistics segment operations generally consist of the following activities:
· the purchase of U.S. and Canadian crude oil at the wellhead, the bulk purchase of crude oil at pipeline, terminal and rail facilities, and the purchase of cargos at their load port and various other locations in transit;
· the storage of inventory during contango market conditions and the seasonal storage of NGL;
· the purchase of NGL from producers, refiners, processors and other marketers;
· the resale or exchange of crude oil and NGL at various points along the distribution chain to refiners or other resellers to maximize profits; and
· the transportation of crude oil and NGL on trucks, barges, railcars, pipelines and ocean-going vessels to various delivery points, including but not limited to refineries, connecting carriers and fractionation facilities.
We characterize a substantial portion of the profit generated by our supply and logistics segment as fee equivalent. This portion of the segment profit is generated by the purchase and resale of crude oil on an index-related basis, which results in us generating a gross margin for such activities. This gross margin is reduced by the transportation, facilities and other logistical costs associated with delivering the crude oil to market as well as any operating and general and administrative expenses. The level of profit associated with a portion of the other activities we conduct in the supply and logistics segment is influenced by overall market structure and the degree of volatility in the crude oil market, as well as variable operating expenses. Forecasted operating results for the three-month period ending March 31, 2013 reflect the current market structure and for the twelve-month period ending December 31, 2013 reflect the seasonal, weather-related variations in NGL sales. Our guidance is also based on an expectation that domestic oil production will continue to increase in line with increases over the last couple of years. Variations in weather, market structure or volatility could cause actual results to differ materially from forecasted results.
We forecast adjusted segment profit using the volume assumptions stated below, as well as estimates of unit margins, field operating costs, G&A expenses and carrying costs for contango inventory, based on current and anticipated market conditions. Actual volumes are influenced by maintenance schedules at refineries, actual production levels, weather, and other external factors beyond our control. Field operating costs do not include depreciation. Realized unit margins for any given lease-gathered barrel could vary significantly based on a variety of factors including location, quality, and contract structure. Accordingly, the projected segment profit per barrel can vary significantly even if aggregate volumes are in line with the forecasted levels. For the last nine months of 2013 we expect adjusted segment profit to be lower as compared to our forecast for the three month period ending March 31, 2013 as pipeline infrastructure is completed and placed into service.

3. Depreciation and Amortization. We forecast depreciation and amortization based on our existing depreciable assets, forecasted capital expenditures and projected in-service dates. Depreciation may vary due to gains and losses on intermittent sales of assets, asset retirement obligations, asset impairments or foreign exchange rates.
4. Capital Expenditures and Acquisitions. Although acquisitions constitute a key element of our growth strategy, the forecasted results and associated estimates do not include any forecasts for acquisitions that we may commit to after the date hereof. We forecast capital expenditures during calendar 2013 to be approximately $1.1 billion for expansion projects with an additional $160 to $180 million for maintenance capital projects. The following are some of the more notable projects and forecasted expenditures for the year ending December 31, 2013:

(1) Primarily multiple, smaller projects comprised of pipeline connections, upgrades and truck stations, new tank construction and refurbishing, pipeline linefill purchases and carry-over of projects from prior years.
(2) Potential variation to current capital costs estimates may result from changes to project design, final cost of materials and labor and timing of incurrence of costs due to uncontrollable factors such as permits, regulatory approvals and weather.
5. Capital Structure. This guidance is based on our capital structure as of December 31, 2012, adjusted for estimated equity issuances under our continuous offering program and assuming the repayment of our $250 million
5.625% senior notes that mature December 15, 2013 with short-term borrowings from our credit facility as a result of prefunding during 2012 (equity, retained cash flow, and senior note issuance).
6. Interest Expense. Debt balances are projected based on estimated cash flows, estimated distribution rates, estimated capital expenditures for maintenance and expansion projects, expected timing of collections and payments and forecasted levels of inventory and other working capital sources and uses. Interest rate assumptions for variable-rate debt are based on the current forward LIBOR curve.
Included in interest expense are commitment fees, amortization of long-term debt discounts or premiums, deferred amounts associated with terminated interest-rate hedges and interest on short-term debt for non-contango inventory (primarily hedged NGL inventory and New York Mercantile Exchange and Intercontinental Exchange margin deposits). Interest expense is net of amounts capitalized for major expansion capital projects and does not include interest on borrowings for inventory stored in a contango market. We treat interest on hedged inventory borrowings as carrying costs of crude oil and NGL and include it in purchases and related costs.
7. Income Taxes. We expect Canadian income tax expense to be approximately $27 million and $58 million for the three-month period ending March 31, 2013 and twelve-month period ending December 31, 2013, respectively, of which approximately $23 million and $45 million, respectively, is classified as current. For the twelve-month period ending December 31, 2013 we expect to have a deferred tax expense of $13 million. All or part of the income tax expense of $58 million may result in a tax credit to our equity holders.
8. Implied DCF. The following table calculates implied distributable cash flow for the three-month period ending March 31, 2013 and the twelve-month period ending December 31, 2013.

9. Equity Compensation Plans. The majority of grants outstanding under our various equity compensation plans contain vesting criteria that are based on a combination of performance benchmarks and service periods. The grants will vest in various percentages, typically on the later to occur of specified vesting dates and the dates on which minimum distribution levels are reached. Among the various grants outstanding as of February 5, 2013, estimated vesting dates range from February 2013 to May 2019 and annualized benchmark distribution levels range from $1.925 to $2.40. For some awards, a percentage of any units remaining unvested as of a certain date will vest on such date and all others will be forfeited.
On January 7, 2013, we declared an annualized distribution of $2.25 payable on February 14, 2013 to our unitholders of record as of February 1, 2013. For the purposes of guidance, we have made the assessment that a $2.45 distribution level is probable of occurring, and accordingly, guidance includes an accrual over the applicable service period at an assumed market price of $50.00 per unit as well as an accrual associated with awards that will vest on a certain date. The actual amount of equity compensation expense in any given period will be directly influenced by (i) our unit price at the end of each reporting period, (ii) our unit price on the vesting date, (iii) the probability assessment regarding distributions, and (iv) new equity compensation award grants. For example, a $2.00 change in the unit price would change the first-quarter and full-year equity compensation expense by approximately $5 million and $6 million, respectively. Therefore, actual net income could differ from our projections.
10. Reconciliation of Net Income to EBIT, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. The following table reconciles net income to EBIT, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for the three-month period ending March 31, 2013 and the twelve-month period ending December 31, 2013.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. Reports Strong
Fourth-Quarter and Full-Year 2012 Results
(Houston February 6, 2013) Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. (NYSE: PAA) today reported net income attributable to Plains of $320 million, or $0.69 per diluted limited partner unit, for the fourth quarter of 2012, and net income attributable to Plains of $1.09 billion, or $2.40 per diluted limited partner unit, for the full year of 2012. Net income attributable to Plains for the fourth quarter of 2011 was $278 million, or $0.68 per diluted limited partner unit, and net income attributable to Plains for the full year of 2011 was $966 million, or $2.44 per diluted limited partner unit. The Partnership reported earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) of $541 million and $1.95 billion for the fourth quarter and full year of 2012, respectively. The comparable amounts for the fourth quarter and full year of 2011 were $426 million and $1.54 billion, respectively.
The Partnerships reported results include the impact of items that affect comparability between reporting periods. Items impacting comparability are excluded from adjusted results as detailed in the table below. Accordingly, the Partnerships fourth-quarter 2012 adjusted net income attributable to Plains, adjusted net income per diluted limited partner unit and adjusted EBITDA were $429 million, $1.01 and $609 million, respectively. The comparable amounts for the fourth quarter of 2011 were $322 million, $0.82 and $471 million, respectively.
The Partnerships adjusted net income attributable to Plains, adjusted net income per diluted limited partner unit and adjusted EBITDA for the full year of 2012 were $1.41 billion, $3.35 and $2.11 billion, respectively. The comparable amounts for the full year of 2011 were $1.02 billion, $2.62 and $1.60 billion, respectively. (See the section of this release entitled Non-GAAP Financial Measures and the attached tables for discussion of EBITDA and other non-GAAP financial measures and their reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP measures.)
PAA generated exceptional results for the fourth quarter and full year of 2012, said Greg L. Armstrong, Chairman and CEO of Plains All American. Our fee-based Transportation and Facilities segments delivered results in line with or ahead of guidance throughout the year as demand for our services remained strong and new capital projects were placed into service. Our Supply and Logistics segment substantially exceeded our guidance on the strength of increasing volumes, attractive margins, favorable market conditions and solid execution.
During 2012, PAA invested $3.5 billion of total capital, including $1.2 billion in organic growth projects and $2.3 billion in strategic and complementary acquisitions. Importantly, as a result of PAAs disciplined and proactive financing efforts, the Partnership entered 2013 with a strong balance sheet, $2.4 billion of committed liquidity and very well positioned to execute its growth objectives while maintaining a solid credit profile.
Expected contributions from investments made over the last few years combined with the $1.1 billion of planned organic growth capital for 2013 provide substantial visibility for continued baseline growth in 2013 and beyond. This visibility underpins our favorable outlook for continued attractive distribution growth. In that regard, concurrent with our distribution payable next week, we will have increased our distributions by 9.8% over the distribution paid in February 2012, and we are targeting 9 to 10% year-over-year distribution growth in 2013, while maintaining very attractive distribution coverage.

(1) Includes intersegment amounts.
(2) Segment general and administrative expenses (G&A) reflect direct costs attributable to each segment and an allocation of other expenses to the segments based on the business activities that existed at that time. The proportional allocations by segment require judgment by management and will continue to be based on the business activities that exist during each period. Includes acquisition-related expenses for both the 2012 and 2011 periods.
(3) Certain non-GAAP financial measures may not be impacted by each of the selected items impacting comparability.

Adjusted Transportation segment profit for both the fourth quarter and full year of 2012 increased by approximately 25% over comparable 2011 results. The increase in these periods was primarily driven by the benefit of the BP NGL acquisition as well as recently completed organic growth projects, increased pipeline volumes and higher average pipeline tariffs.
Adjusted Facilities segment profit for both the fourth quarter and full year of 2012 increased by approximately 32% over comparable 2011 results. The increase in these periods was primarily related to capacity additions from the BP NGL acquisition and organic growth projects.
Adjusted Supply and Logistics segment profit for the fourth quarter and full year of 2012 increased by approximately 34% and 39%, respectively, over comparable 2011 results. The fourth-quarter increase was primarily related to the solid execution of PAAs business model during favorable crude oil market conditions and increased NGL sales volumes. The full-year increase was primarily related to increased crude oil lease gathering volumes and margins as well as favorable crude oil market conditions.
The Partnerships basic weighted average units outstanding for the fourth quarter of 2012 was 334 million units (337 million diluted units) as compared to 305 million units (308 million diluted units) in last years fourth quarter. At year-end 2012, the Partnership had approximately 335.3 million units outstanding, long-term debt of approximately $6.3 billion and a long-term debt-to-total capitalization ratio of 47%.
The Partnership has declared a quarterly distribution of $0.5625 per unit ($2.25 per unit on an annualized basis) payable February 14, 2013 on its outstanding limited partner units. This distribution represents an increase of approximately 9.8% over the quarterly distribution paid in February 2012 and an increase of approximately 3.7% over the quarterly distribution paid in November 2012.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement our financial information presented in accordance with GAAP, management uses additional measures that are known as non-GAAP financial measures in its evaluation of past performance and prospects for the future. These measures include adjusted EBITDA and implied distributable cash flow (DCF). Management believes that the presentation of such additional financial measures provides useful information to investors regarding our performance and results of operations because these measures, when used in conjunction with related GAAP financial measures, (i) provide additional information about our core operating performance and ability to generate and distribute cash flow, (ii) provide investors with the financial analytical framework upon which management bases financial, operational, compensation and planning decisions and (iii) present measurements that investors, rating agencies and debt holders have indicated are useful in assessing us and our results of operations. These measures may exclude, for example, (i) charges for obligations that are expected to be settled with the issuance of equity instruments, (ii) the mark-to-market of derivative instruments that are related to underlying activities in another period (or the reversal of such adjustments from a prior period), net of inventory valuation adjustments, (iii) items that are not indicative of our core operating results and business outlook, and/or (iv) other items that we believe should be excluded in understanding our core operating performance. We have defined all such items as Selected Items Impacting Comparability. These additional financial measures are reconciled from the most directly comparable measures as reported in accordance with GAAP, and should be viewed in addition to, and not in lieu of, our consolidated financial statements and footnotes.

Although we present selected items that we consider in evaluating our performance, you should also be aware that the items presented do not represent all items that affect comparability between the periods presented. Variations in our operating results are also caused by changes in volumes, prices, exchange rates, mechanical interruptions, acquisitions and numerous other factors. A full analysis of these types of variations are not separately identified in this release, but will be discussed, as applicable, in management's discussion and analysis of operating results in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.
A reconciliation of EBITDA to net income and EBITDA to cash flows from operating activities for the periods presented are included in the tables attached to this release. In addition, the Partnership maintains on its website (www.paalp.com) a reconciliation of all non-GAAP financial information, such as EBITDA, to the most comparable GAAP measures. To access the information, investors should click on the Investor Relations link on the Partnerships home page and then the Non-GAAP Reconciliations link on the Investor Relations page.

(1) Volumes associated with acquisitions represent total volumes (attributable to our interest) for the number of days or months we actually owned the assets divided by the number of days or months in the period.
(2) As of December 31, 2012, we revised the summary presentation of our volumes related to our transportation activities. All prior year volumes have been restated herein to reflect such updates.
(3) Facilities total is calculated as the sum of: (i) crude oil, refined products and NGL storage capacity; (ii) natural gas capacity divided by 6 to account for the 6:1 mcf of gas to crude Btu equivalent ratio and further divided by 1,000 to convert to monthly volumes in millions; and (iii) NGL fractionation volumes (based on estimated utilized capacity) multiplied by the number of days in the period and divided by the number of months in the period.

(1) We calculate net income available to limited partners based on the distributions pertaining to the current periods net income. After adjusting for the appropriate periods distributions, the remaining undistributed earnings or excess distributions over earnings, if any, are allocated to the general partner, limited partners and participating securities in accordance with the contractual terms of the partnership agreement and as further prescribed under the two-class method.
(2) Our LTIP awards that contemplate the issuance of common units are considered dilutive unless (i) vesting occurs only upon the satisfaction of a performance condition and (ii) that performance condition has yet to be satisfied. LTIP awards that are deemed to be dilutive are reduced by a hypothetical unit repurchase based on the remaining unamortized fair value, as prescribed by the treasury stock method in guidance issued by the FASB.
