Item 9.01. Financial Statements and Exhibits
(d) Exhibit 99.1 Press Release dated February 4, 2015.
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 2014 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 also providing detailed guidance for financial performance for the first quarter and full year of 2015. 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 2015 Guidance
We based our guidance for the three-month period ending March 31, 2015 and twelve-month period ending December 31, 2015 on assumptions and estimates that we believe are reasonable, given our assessment of historical trends (modified for changes in market conditions, including an assumption that crude oil prices will not meaningfully increase from current levels during 2015 which we expect to result in reduced drilling activity and reduced oil production growth), 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 we can provide no assurance 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 3, 2015. 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. EBITDA (as defined below in Note 1 to the Operating and Financial Guidance table) is a non-GAAP financial measure. Net income represents one of the two most directly comparable GAAP measures to EBITDA. In Note 9 below, we reconcile net income to EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA for the 2015 guidance periods presented. Cash flows from operating activities is the other most comparable GAAP measure. We do not, however, reconcile cash flows from operating activities to EBITDA, because such reconciliations are impractical for forecasted periods. We encourage you to visit our website at www.plainsallamerican.com (in particular the section under Investor Relations entitled Guidance and Non-GAAP Reconciliations), which presents a historical reconciliation of EBITDA as well as certain other commonly used non-GAAP financial measures. 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), (iii) inventory valuation adjustments, (iv) items that are not indicative of our core operating results and business outlook and/or (v) 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. Due to the nature of the selected items, certain selected items impacting comparability may impact certain non-GAAP financial measures, referred to as adjusted results, but not impact other non-GAAP financial measures.

(a) The assumed average foreign exchange rate is $1.20 Canadian to $1.00 U.S. for the three-month period ending March 31, 2015 and the twelve-month period ending December 31, 2015. The rate as of February 3, 2015 was $1.25 Canadian to $1.00 U.S. A $0.05 change in such average FX rate will impact annual adjusted EBITDA by approximately $10 million.
(b) 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. Operating Segments. We manage our operations through three operating segments: Transportation, Facilities and 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 and NGL on pipelines, gathering systems, trucks and barges. The Transportation segment generates revenue through a combination of tariffs, third-party pipeline capacity agreements and other transportation fees. Our transportation segment also includes our equity earnings from investments in Settoon Towing and the White Cliffs, Eagle Ford, BridgeTex, Butte and Frontier pipeline systems, in which we own interests ranging from 22% to 50%. We account for these investments under the equity method of accounting.
Pipeline volume estimates are based on historical trends, anticipated future operating performance and assumed completion of capital projects. Actual volumes will be influenced by maintenance schedules at refineries, drilling and completion activity levels, production trends, weather and other natural occurrences including hurricanes, changes in the quantity of inventory held in tanks, variations due to market structure 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 and natural gas and condensate processing services. The Facilities segment generates revenue through a combination of month-to-month and multi-year agreements and processing arrangements.
Revenues generated in this segment primarily include (i) fees that are generated from storage capacity agreements, (ii) terminal throughput fees that are generated when we receive crude oil, refined products or NGL from one connecting source and deliver the applicable product to another connecting carrier, (iii) loading and unloading fees at our rail terminals, (iv) fees from NGL fractionation and isomerization, (v) fees from natural gas and condensate processing services and (vi) fees associated with natural gas park and loan activities, interruptible storage services and wheeling and balancing 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 merchant-related 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 and natural gas;
· 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;
· the transportation of crude oil and NGL on trucks, barges, railcars, pipelines and ocean-going vessels from various delivery points, market hub locations or directly to end users such as refineries, processors and fractionation facilities; and
· the purchase and sale of natural gas.
We characterize a substantial portion of our baseline 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 and carrying costs for hedged inventory as well as any operating and G&A 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 market volatility as well as variable operating expenses. Forecasted operating results for the three-month period ending March 31, 2015 and for the twelve-month period ending December 31, 2015 reflect current and anticipated market structure as well as seasonal, weather-related and other anticipated variations in crude oil, NGL and natural gas sales. 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 hedged inventory, based on current and anticipated market conditions. Actual volumes are influenced by temporary market-driven storage and withdrawal of crude oil, 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 and quality differentials as well as contract structure. Accordingly, the projected segment profit per barrel can vary significantly even if aggregate volumes are in line with the forecasted levels.

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 also vary due to gains and losses on intermittent sales of assets, asset retirement obligations, asset impairments, acceleration of depreciation 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 the calendar year of 2015 to be approximately $1.85 billion for expansion projects with an additional $205 to $225 million for maintenance capital projects. The following are some of the more notable projects and forecasted expenditures for the year ending December 31, 2015:

(1) Includes railcar purchases and projects located in or near St. James, LA and Kerrobert, Canada.
(2) Potential variation to current capital costs estimates may result from (i) changes to project design, (ii) final cost of materials and labor and (iii) 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, 2014 and adjusted for estimated equity issuances and senior note offerings to fund our capital program.
6. Interest Expense. Debt balances are projected based on estimated cash flows, estimated distribution rates, estimated capital expenditures for maintenance and expansion projects, anticipated equity proceeds, 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 LIBOR curve as of late January 2015.
Interest expense is net of amounts capitalized for expansion capital projects and does not include interest on borrowings for hedged inventory. We treat interest on hedged inventory borrowings as carrying costs of crude oil, NGL, and natural gas and include it in purchases and related costs. Interest expense includes an assumed fixed rate senior note offering in 2015.
7. Income Taxes. We expect our Canadian income tax expense to be approximately $37 million and $94 million for the three-month period ending March 31, 2015 and twelve-month period ending December 31, 2015, respectively, of which approximately $31 million and $81 million, respectively, is classified as a current income tax expense. For the twelve-month period ending December 31, 2015 we expect to have deferred tax expense of $13 million. All or part of the annual income tax expense of $94 million may result in a tax credit to our equity holders.
8. Equity-Indexed Compensation Plans. The majority of grants outstanding under our various equity-indexed 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 3, 2015, estimated vesting dates range from February 2015 to August 2019 and annualized benchmark distribution levels range from $2.075 to $3.20.
On January 8, 2015, we declared an annualized distribution of $2.70 payable on February 13, 2015 to our unitholders of record as of January 30, 2015. For the purposes of guidance, we have made the assessment that an annualized $2.90 distribution level is probable of occurring, and accordingly, guidance includes an accrual over the applicable service period at an assumed market price of $50 per unit as well as an accrual associated with awards that will vest on a certain date. The actual amount of equity-indexed 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) our then current probability assessment regarding distributions, and (iv) new equity-indexed compensation award grants, including the timing of such grant issuances. For example, a $2 change in the unit price would change the first-quarter equity-indexed compensation expense by approximately $5 million and the full year equity-indexed compensation expense by approximately $6 million. Therefore, actual net income could differ from our projections.
9. Reconciliation of Net Income to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. The following table reconciles net income to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for the three-month period ending March 31, 2015 and the twelve-month period ending December 31, 2015.

(1) PAAs reported results include the impact of items that affect comparability between reporting periods. The impact of certain of these items is excluded from adjusted results. See the section of this release entitled Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Selected Items Impacting Comparability and the tables attached hereto for information regarding certain selected items that PAA believes impact comparability of financial results between reporting periods, as well as for information regarding non-GAAP financial measures (such as adjusted EBITDA) and their reconciliation to the most directly comparable measures as reported in accordance with GAAP.
2014 represents another year of solid execution for PAA, as we delivered results in line with to slightly ahead of the midpoint of our guidance for both the fourth quarter and full year, excluding the impact of a fourth quarter acquisition, stated Greg L. Armstrong, Chairman and CEO of Plains All American. These results were underpinned by solid performance in our Transportation and Supply and Logistics segments.
Armstrong noted that following PAAs November earnings conference call, crude oil and natural gas liquids prices decreased approximately 40%, which resulted in significant reductions in the outlook for producer drilling activities in 2015 in many cases ranging from 30% to 40% below 2014 levels.
PAA is well positioned to manage through industry down cycles; however, we are not immune to the adverse impacts of a major step change in commodity prices that is accompanied by a similar change in producers activity levels. Accordingly, we have reduced the midpoint of our acquisition adjusted EBITDA guidance for 2015 by 6.5%, from just over $2.5 billion, as furnished on November 5th, to $2.35 billion and revised our distribution growth target for 2015. We are currently targeting distribution growth for PAA of 7% for 2015, which would equate to a distribution increase for PAGP of approximately 21%.
Armstrong stated that the updated guidance midpoint represented an increase of approximately 7% over 2014 results and is based on 2015 WTI oil prices hovering around $50 per barrel for all of 2015 and the expectation that producer drilling activities will be materially reduced relative to 2014. WTI prices averaged approximately $93 per barrel in 2014.
While the duration of the current down-cycle is unknown, our confidence in the North American crude oil resource base and its ultimate development remains high. As we look ahead, PAA remains well positioned to continue to grow and strengthen its business through organic growth projects and also to actively pursue attractive acquisition opportunities. For 2015, we are targeting an expansion capital plan of $1.85 billion, down approximately 9% from the $2.03 billion spent in 2014. Importantly, PAA enters 2015 with a strong balance sheet, credit metrics that are consistent with or favorable to our targeted levels and $3.6 billion of committed liquidity.

See the section of this release entitled Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Selected Items Impacting Comparability and the tables attached hereto for information regarding certain selected items that PAA believes impact comparability of financial results between reporting periods.
(2) Certain of our non-GAAP financial measures may not be impacted by each of the selected items impacting comparability.
Fourth-quarter 2014 Transportation adjusted segment profit increased 26% versus comparable 2013 results. This increase was primarily driven by higher crude oil pipeline volumes associated with North American crude oil production and recently completed organic growth projects, increased tariff rates on certain of our crude oil pipelines and the acquisition of a 50% interest in the BridgeTex pipeline completed in November 2014.
Fourth-quarter 2014 Facilities adjusted segment profit decreased 11% versus comparable 2013 results. This decrease was primarily due to the impact of recontracting capacity originally contracted at higher rates within our natural gas storage operations.

Fourth-quarter 2014 Supply and Logistics adjusted segment profit decreased by approximately 17% relative to comparable 2013 results. This decrease was primarily related to less favorable NGL and crude oil market conditions in the fourth quarter of 2014 compared to the same 2013 period. These impacts were partially offset by growth in crude oil lease gathering volumes.
Plains GP Holdings
PAGPs sole assets are its ownership interest in PAAs general partner and incentive distribution rights.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Selected Items Impacting Comparability
To supplement our financial information presented in accordance with GAAP, management uses additional measures that are known as non-GAAP financial measures (such as adjusted EBITDA and implied distributable cash flow (DCF)) 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 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), (iii) inventory valuation adjustments, (iv) items that are not indicative of our core operating results and business outlook and/or (v) 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. We consider an understanding of these selected items impacting comparability to be material to the evaluation of our operating results and prospects.
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. These types of variations are not separately identified in this release, but will be discussed, as applicable, in managements discussion and analysis of operating results in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Adjusted EBITDA and other non-GAAP financial measures are reconciled to the most comparable measures as reported in accordance with GAAP for the periods presented in the tables attached to this release, and should be viewed in addition to, and not in lieu of, our Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto. In addition, PAA maintains on its website (www.plainsallamerican.com) a reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA and certain commonly used non-GAAP financial information to the most comparable GAAP measures. To access the information, investors should click on Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. under the Investor Relations link on the home page, select the Guidance & Non-GAAP Reconciliations link and navigate to the Non-GAAP Reconciliations tab.

These risks and uncertainties include, among other things, failure to implement or capitalize, or delays in implementing or capitalizing, on planned growth projects; declines in the volume of crude oil, refined product and NGL shipped, processed, purchased, stored, fractionated and/or gathered at or through the use of our facilities, whether due to declines in production from existing oil and gas reserves, failure to develop or slowdown in the development of additional oil and gas reserves, whether from reduced cash flow to fund drilling or the inability to access capital, or other factors; unanticipated changes in crude oil market structure, grade differentials and volatility (or lack thereof); environmental liabilities or events that are not covered by an indemnity, insurance or existing reserves; fluctuations in refinery capacity in areas supplied by our mainlines and other factors affecting demand for various grades of crude oil, refined products and natural gas and resulting changes in pricing conditions or transportation throughput requirements; the effects of competition; the occurrence of a natural disaster, catastrophe, terrorist attack or other event, including attacks on our electronic and computer systems; tightened capital markets or other factors that increase our cost of capital or limit our ability to obtain debt or equity financing on satisfactory terms to fund additional acquisitions, expansion projects, working capital requirements and the repayment or refinancing of indebtedness; weather interference with business operations or project construction, including the impact of extreme weather events or conditions; continued creditworthiness of, and performance by, our counterparties, including financial institutions and trading companies with which we do business; maintenance of our credit rating and ability to receive open credit from our suppliers and trade counterparties; the currency exchange rate of the Canadian dollar; the availability of, and our ability to consummate, acquisition or combination opportunities; the successful integration and future performance of acquired assets or businesses and the risks associated with operating in lines of business that are distinct and separate from our historical operations; the effectiveness of our risk management activities; shortages or cost increases of supplies, materials or labor; the impact of current and future laws, rulings, governmental regulations, accounting standards and statements and related interpretations; non-utilization of our assets and facilities; increased costs, or lack of availability, of insurance; fluctuations in the debt and equity markets, including the price of our units at the time of vesting under our long-term incentive plans; risks related to the development and operation of our facilities, including our ability to satisfy our contractual obligations to our customers at our facilities; factors affecting demand for natural gas and natural gas storage services and rates; general economic, market or business conditions and the amplification of other risks caused by volatile financial markets, capital constraints and pervasive liquidity concerns; and other factors and uncertainties inherent in the transportation, storage, terminalling and marketing of crude oil and refined products, as well as in the storage of natural gas and the processing, transportation, fractionation, storage and marketing of natural gas liquids as discussed in the Partnerships filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

(1) Volumes associated with assets employed through acquisitions and expansion capital represent total volumes (attributable to our interest) for the number of days or months we employed the assets divided by the number of days or months in the period.
(2) Facilities activities total is calculated as the sum of: (i) crude oil, refined products and NGL terminalling and storage capacity; (ii) rail load and unload volumes multiplied by the number of days in the period and divided by the number of months in the period; (iii) natural gas storage working capacity divided by 6 to account for the 6:1 mcf of natural gas to crude Btu equivalent ratio and further divided by 1,000 to convert to monthly volumes in millions; and (iv) NGL fractionation volumes 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 Long-term Incentive Plan (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.

(2) Includes mark-to-market gains and losses resulting from derivative instruments that are related to underlying activities in future periods or the reversal of mark-to-market gains and losses from the prior period, net of inventory valuation adjustments, as applicable.
(3) Includes changes in the average cost of long-term inventory that result from fluctuations in market prices. Long-term inventory is comprised of minimum inventory requirements in third-party assets and other working inventory that is needed for our commercial operations.
(4) Includes equity-indexed compensation expense associated with LTIP awards that will or may be settled in units, as the dilutive impact of these outstanding awards is included in our diluted net income per unit calculation and the majority of these awards are expected to be settled in units.
(5) Includes other immaterial selected items impacting comparability, as well as the noncontrolling interests portion of selected items.
