2 Discussion Agenda Intro The Valuation Debate Where we are today Macro back drop and what is likely to drive sector recovery Deep Dive Deep Dive into Valuations Compared to Commodity Prices MLP Health Check

3 Deep Dive on Valuation Bottom Line: In light of the severe downturn, the viability of the MLP model as well as valuations have faced significant challenge. The accepted wisdom before the downturn was that the models were robust enough to withstand industry cycles and that pipeline and processing plant cash flows had a degree of insulation from the industry cycle due to the long-dated nature of fee based contracts. But the prolonged down turn has challenged the robustness assumption on account of counterparty risks and contract renegotiation risks. Renewed focus on balance sheet strength, liquidity, and distribution coverage have become more important. Valuation assumptions have also been challenged. The DDM valuation model has less viability as a valuation tool if the distributions are subject to disruption as does yield spread analysis. Valuation models such as EV/EBITDA and P/DCF showing relative indifference to distribution policy are being resurrected as a way to look at the sector. We believe that the customary assumption of MLP industry yields in the 6 s will be a long time before being revisited owing to the stronger coverage, thicker equity requirements needed to withstand cycles of the future. Management teams that have already positioned for this have seen their equity hold up a lot better during this current cycle. Deep dive into valuation reveals some interesting observations: For example, a look at the history reveals a stronger correlation between multiples and the price of oil than most previously cared to admit (beginning at slide 11) and helps give us insight into the right yield or yield spread, the correct EV/EBITDA multiple (charts indicates about 12-13x at $90-$100 oil and about at $30-$40 oil though clearly neither condition is sustainable and suggests that the number of periods where multiples are below 9.5x are very few as shown on slide 24) and the correct P/DCF multiple (over 15x at $90-$100 oil and about 11x at $30-$40 oil). Compared to other sectors (slides 25-29) MLPs appear slightly expensive vs utilities (surprise to us given the rally in utilities this year) but cheap vs. E&Ps and OFS (again a bit of a surprise given our recent sector rally). Slides as well as slides 30 and 34 should help discerning long/short pairings as well. At this juncture the results from our earlier survey suggesting a 2H16 or 1H17 recovery appear to have potential (link to survey). Source: Credit Suisse 2

4 Observations About Valuation and Commodity Prices Strong correlation between multiples and the price of oil Balance sheet leverage increases the correlation Some of the sub-sectors have stronger/weaker correlations Given correlations, it suggests that playing low beta, gas exposed, defensive names are the way to play with crude in the 30's Playing more offensive, higher beta, otherwise weaker names as crude turns the corner to the upside. The whole sector should rally with definitive strength in the economy. Our survey suggested a 2H16 or 1H17 recovery. Source: Credit Suisse 3

5 Stock Recommendations Top Picks: At current prices EQM, TEP, GEL appear to offer defensive characteristics with offensive capabilities if WTI continues to languish in the $30s and upside potential should oil start to recover more meaningfully. Best high yielders: Names with high yields but high likelihood for preserving the distribution such as ETP, EEP offer promise. Best High beta for commodity upside play: As oil/gas pivots to the upside higher beta names such as CNNX, APLP, ENBL, ENLK have outsized potential. Source: Credit Suisse 4

6 Ratings Changes

7 Stock Calls - CS Coverage - MLPs Summary of Changes to Target Price and Rating Symbol Old New Old New TP TP Rating Rating Valuation Thesis MLP Coverage AM $32 - O N Downgrading AM to Neutral as units have performed well YTD and our $32 TP reflects 32% total return potential, which is below the median of our coverage universe. DPM $25 $28 N - Downgrading to Underperform - stock has moved up over 30% MTD and effectively prices in DPM's fee-based cash flow growth and mgmt.'s focus on contract repair. We continue to model no growth in distributions and expect coverage to be tight around 1x longer-term. EEP $24 $23 O N Downgrading EEP to Neutral as we believe coverage will remain tight even with flat distributions. Our $24 TP indicates a total return of ~40% near our sector mid-point. ENBL $11 - N O Upgrading to O given relative upside to our $11 target price. Units appear oversold EPD $30 - O N EPD remains a bellwether in the space but with a 6.5% yield and 32% total return outlook we believe better value can found elsewhere in the near term, especially if crude finds a floor/corrects to the upside. MMP $70 - N U Downgrading to Underperform. MMP has presented a safe alternative to higher beta midstream names since the commodity downturn began, but we believe valuation is currently stretched and units will Underperform the rest of our coverage universe in a market recovery scenario. NS $47 $43 N - We now apply a blended valuation. Our TP moves down to $43 based on 10.5x EV/EBITDA, 11x P/DCF and 3-stage DDM discounted at 10%. We continue to model no distribution growth. OKS $32 $33 N U OKS units have recovered by >$10 or near 50% since bottoming ~$22 in Feb given guidance reiteration (a positive) and ethane demand outlook. With that said OKS is now trading at P/DCF which is well ahead of peers with similar or better growth outlooks. We believe the units will lag in a commodity recover scenario while downside remains if markets remain choppy. PAA $19 $26 N - Raising target price by $7 on our equally weighted valuation blend of EV/EBITDA (11x), P/DCF (), and 3-stage DDM discounted at 10%. SEP $56 54 O N Downgrading to Neutral on total return expectations. While SEP remains a strong defensive name, we would expect it to perform in-line with our coverage if crude continues to recover. VTTI $24 - O N Downgrading to Neutral as our $24 target price which suggests a total return ~36% along with lack of trading liquidity. WES $56 $53 O N Our target price drops to $53 from $56 as we apply an equal weighting to DDM, EV/EBITDA, and P/DCF. We are downgrading WES to Neutral on a lower total return outlook that falls in-line with our coverage. Source: Credit Suisse 6

8 Stock Calls - CS Coverage GPs and C-corps Old New Old Symbol TP TP Rating GP and Corp Coverage New Rating CPGX $23 $25 N U ENLC $12 - O N KMI $20 $22 O N Valuation Thesis Downgrading to Underperform - CPGX ran up amid takeover speculation though talks with TRP reportedly stalled. We feel shares are near fair value relative to CPGX's impressive backlog of organic projects. Downgrading to Neutral on valuation. Our $12 target price suggests a total return of ~35% which is below the midpoint of our coverage universe. KMI shares have recovered well after the dividend cut and are now trading near our target EV/EBITDA and DCF multiples of. We see limited upside to KMI shares in the near-term though we remain constructive on the name. NSH $25 $23 N - We now apply a blended valuation. Our TP moves down to $23 based on 10.5x EV/EBITDA, 11x P/DCF and 3-stage DDM discounted at 10.5%. We continue to model no distribution growth. OKE $30 $34 N - Raising OKE target price by $4 on our blended valuation methodology. TRGP $33 $37 N - Summary of Changes to Target Price and Rating We are rasing our target price to $37 on the upsized preferred unit issuance which resolves/mitigates balance sheet issues. Bank covenant leverage falls to 3.2x and we now model consolidated leverage of 5.5x in We how see enough coverage and low enough leverage to resume distribution growth in 2018 (vs. our prior flat forecast). WGP $39 $37 O N Along with WES, we are downgrading WGP to Neutral after applying equal weighting to DDM, EV/EBITDA, and P/DCF. WGP total return outlook is in-line with our coverage.

9 Counter-Consensus Calls Magellan Midstream (MMP): Downgrading to Underperform, from Neutral MMP has outperformed the MLP sector since the beginning of the commodity price downturn and YTD given a healthy balance sheet (~2. debt/ebitda) and substantial distribution coverage (>1.4x). Units are currently trading at ~16x EV/EBITDA which is now 6-turns above the sector average vs. the historical 4-turn premium MMP has enjoyed. Bottom line: We believe units fairly valued (5% total return to our $70 TP) and MMP presents a target for shorts once crude finds a floor and begins to recover. Risks to our call: MMP scores favorably on our MLP health check and should crude prices fall further investors will again crowd into MMP. Oneok Partners (OKS): Downgrading to Underperform, from Neutral OKS units have recovered almost 50% from lows reached in February as investors have rewarded Oneok for its reiteration of guidance, increasing fee-based margin and positioning to benefit from expected increases in ethane recovery. We believe valuation is stretched at 15x P/DCF given 15% of OKS s gross margin remains commodity sensitive and only 80% of 2015 NGL segment revenues were tied to IG customers. Bottom line: We believe valuation is rich relative to peers with similar commodity exposure and counterparty risk. Upside is limited with a commodity recovery and downside risk remains with any further deterioration of commodity prices. Risks to our call: OKS could continue to outperform if ethane demand improves faster than expected leading to increased ethane recovery. Source: Credit Suisse 8

10 Counter-Consensus Calls Enterprise Products Partners (EPD): Downgrading to Neutral, from Outperform EPD continues to be a bellwether in the industry given its expansive footprint, solid distribution coverage and export-centric growth backlog. That being said, it trades at its historical 3X above the sector average despite below average EBITDA growth expectations over the next 2 years. Bottom line: EPD remains well positioned to weather any further collapse in commodity prices but we believe this is mostly priced in. Better value can be found in oversold names particularly if commodity prices recover more rapidly and hedge funds may view EPD units a convenient short given the high liquidity in its units. Risks to our call: EPD is viewed a safe haven even if trading 3x above sector EV/EBITDA multiples and it enjoys healthy distribution coverage. If commodities retreat once again, EPD could well outperform. Kinder Morgan (KMI): Downgrading to Neutral, from Outperform KMI shares have recovered nicely since cutting their dividend and are up 21% YTD, outperforming smartly. Now that EV/EBITDA (11x current) and P/DCF (9x current) are the preferred methods of valuation, we see limited upside and few catalysts that aren t already being considered by the market. Our $22 target price suggests a total return of ~20% which is below the ~35% median of our coverage. Risks to our call: Sentiment could continue to improve for KMI given its previous long history of trading at premiums to the sector before the 2015 share price collapse. Source: Credit Suisse 9

11 Counter-Consensus Calls Enable Midstream (ENBL): Upgrading to Outperform, from Neutral ENBL has lagged the sector given its commodity exposure (10%) and volumetric risk (30%) which brought distribution security into question. Post-4Q15 earnings we felt incrementally more positive on the name given cap ex reduction of 66% from prior guidance, CNP preferred purchase of $363mm allowing debt reduction, no equity capital market needs for 2016 and minimal re-contracting risk, though there is ~$200mm of MVC s/guaranteed return features. Even discounting valuation metrics significantly, we find upside well above average. Risks to our call: CNP is looking at potentially divesting its ownership in the next year which would remove the prospect of future sponsor support and S&P cut to below I/G despite the balance sheet strengthening from the preferred and reduced cap ex. Counterparty risk could prove to be more significant than expected (ENBL serves 200 producers in the Anadarko basin) and/or volume declines could impact gross margin more than we have considered and sentiment could remain negative weighing on the multiple on the units. Columbia Pipeline Group (CPGX): Downgrading to Underperform, from Neutral CPGX is up 15% YTD thanks to news reports of a possible takeover by TRP. Now that shares are trading ~$23 we believe the market is giving CPGX proper credit for its impressive backlog of projects, and news reports that take-over talks have stalled leads us to believe that TRP is probably not willing to pay a hefty premium for the company in this market. Risks to our call: Now that CPGX is officially a take-out candidate, TRP or another large midstream player could make a bid on the company at a premium higher than our $25 target price which could drive shares still higher. Source: Credit Suisse 10

12 Counter-Consensus Calls Spectra Energy Partners (SEP): Downgrading to Neutral from Outperform SEP has Outperformed over the last year and YTD and has been on our top picks as a safety play as it has large inventory of visible growth prospects, access to capital, and virtually no counterparty risk. Going to N on valuation not for lack of quality. Risks to our call: SEP is an Outperformer if commodity prices turn sharply lower again given its expansive fee-based asset footprint, highly visible inventory of growth projects irrespective of commodity price conditions, and highly defensive and stable business model. SEP remains a sought after security for long term oriented investors and would be considered a solid alternative for utility-focused investors. Source: Credit Suisse 11

In the commodity downturn E&Ps have been focusing on cutting back capex and preserving balance sheets with the looming threat of credit downgrades. MLPs do not have direct commodity risks like E&Ps. However, since MLPs are primarily volume takers, headwinds affecting producers is reflected in MLP valuations. MLPs contracted to highly levered E&Ps have underperformed and face the risk of contract re-negotiations and producer bankruptcies. As of 3/15/16; Source: RAVE, Bloomberg, Company data 27

36 MLP Health Check 2016

37 MLP Health Scorecard 2016 Examining MLPs to determine which have the greatest financial health The financial environment for MLPs has changed significantly since the peak in August Given our current median upside of ~50%, we feel investors want to weigh in more qualitative metrics to evaluate MLPs. We scored and ranked MLPs based on their financial health, taking into consideration both quantitative and qualitative metrics we believe MLP investors should focus on. Our Health Parameters: 8 Key Factors to Judge Overall Health Metric Definition / Thought process Current Yield Current yield seen purely on the basis of risk NTM CAPEX as % of Liquidity NTM expected CAPEX / cash and revolver availability 2016 Dist. Coverage Ratio 2016 expected DCF / 2016 expected distributions 2016 Leverage 2016 expected net debt / 2016 expected EBITDA 2016 Dist. Growth Expected Y/Y increase in distributions Commodity Exposure We relatively rate MLPs on their commodity exposure Contract Quality Qualitative view of contract longevity, MVCs, contract mix, and the GP s (parents) financial health Investment Grade Advantaged cost of capital; Higher Investor Interest Top Picks based on this Analysis Based on purely the health score (see next slide), EQM, VLP, MMP and TEP come up on top of the chart. However, triangulating the health score with valuation upside we prefer GEL, TEP, and EQM Source: Credit Suisse 36

40 Summing Up

41 2016 Outlook Major Themes Key Expectations Market Weight in 2016: With the sector down over 50% from the Aug 14 peak, and already down 14% in 2016 vs. 6% decline for the S&P, we continue to be in bear market territory. Although, the current ~959bp spread to the US 10-yr indicates ~70% total returns signaling an overweight MLP portfolio, we believe high crude inventory continues to weigh on the sector and do not expect a recovery to begin in full earnest until meaningful inventory declines are sustained for a substantial time frame. Storage Levels to Weigh on Volumes: Though sector valuations are at multi-year lows (yields above 10%) and yield spread at multi-year highs (above 800bp), recovery has been elusive. High storage levels weighs on price which in turn weighs on volumes which in turn weighs on cash flows. Falling inventories are expected eventually but timing remains uncertain. E&P Credit Risk to Weigh on MLPs: With lower commodity prices and declining production volumes, producers are at a risk of credit downgrades, thereby impacting midstream MLPs. Distribution Growth to Slow: With ~30% of our midstream coverage currently yielding over12%, there is growing risk of distribution reductions in Median sector distribution growth rates are expected to fall to 4-6% range. Infrastructure Spending to Drop: We expect growth capital spend to fall by ~10-15% in 2016 to the ~$40Bn. Expect More M&A: 2015 saw a record $137Bn of announced acquisitions including MPLX/MWE, ETE/WMB, TRGP/NGLS among the bigger transactions. Hunters could become the hunted with the fall in valuations. Players outside midstream could enter. Source: Credit Suisse Estimates, Company data, Thomson Reuters 40
