Words such as anticipates, believes, expects, intends, will, should, may, estimate and similar expressions may be used to identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are not statements of historical fact and reflect Noble Midstream Partners LP s ( the Partnership or Noble Midstream ) current views about future events. No assurances can be given that the forward-looking statements contained in this presentation will occur as projected, and actual results may differ materially from those projected. Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations, estimates and assumptions that involve a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. These risks include, without limitation, the ability of Noble Energy, Inc. ( NBL ) to meet its drilling and development plans, changes in general economic conditions, competitive conditions in the Partnership s industry, actions taken by third-party operators, gatherers, processors and transporters, the demand for crude oil and natural gas gathering and processing services, the Partnership s ability to successfully implement its business plan, the Partnership s ability to complete internal growth projects on time and on budget, the price and availability of debt and equity financing, the availability and price of crude oil and natural gas to the consumer compared to the price of alternative and competing fuels, and other risks inherent in the Partnership s business, including those described under Risk Factors and Forward-Looking Statements in the Partnership's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 and in the other reports the Partnership files with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These reports are also available from the Partnership s office or website,. Forward-looking statements are based on the estimates and opinions of management at the time the statements are made. Noble Midstream does not assume any obligation to update forward-looking statements should circumstances or management's estimates or opinions change. This presentation also contains certain measures of financial performance that are not calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ( GAAP ) that management believes are good tools for internal use and the investment community in evaluating Noble Midstream s overall financial performance. Please see the attached schedules for reconciliations of the non-gaap financial measures used in this presentation to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. In this presentation, we refer to certain results as attributable to the Partnership. Unless otherwise noted herein, all results included in this release reflect the results of our predecessor for accounting purposes, for periods prior to the closing of our initial public offering ( IPO ) on September 20, 2016, as well as the results of our Partnership, for the period subsequent to the closing of the IPO. We refer to certain results as attributable to the Partnership, which excludes the non-controlling interests in the development companies ( DevCos ) retained NBL. We believe the results attributable to the Partnership provide the best representation of the ongoing operations from which our unitholders will benefit.

13 13 EBITDA Reconciliation Non-GAAP Financial Measures This presentation includes EBITDA, Distributable Cash Flow, and Distribution Coverage, all of which are non-gaap measures that management believes are good tools for internal use and the investment community in evaluating our overall financial performance. The following presents a reconciliation of each of these non-gaap financial measures to their nearest comparable GAAP measure. We define EBITDA as net income before income taxes, net interest expense, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is used as a supplemental financial measure by management and by external users of our financial statements, such as investors, industry analysts, lenders and ratings agencies, to assess: our operating performance as compared to those of other companies in the midstream energy industry, without regard to financing methods, historical cost basis or capital structure; the ability of our assets to generate sufficient cash flow to make distributions to our partners; our ability to incur and service debt and fund capital expenditures; and the viability of acquisitions and other capital expenditure projects and the returns on investment of various investment opportunities. We define Distributable Cash Flow as EBITDA less estimated maintenance capital expenditures and cash interest expense. Distributable Cash Flow is used by management to evaluate our overall performance. Our partnership agreement requires us to distribute all available cash on a quarterly basis, and Distributable Cash Flow is one of the factors used by the board of directors of our general partner to help determine the amount of available cash that is available to our unitholders for a given period. We calculate our Distribution Coverage ratio as Distributable Cash Flow for a given quarter divided by the aggregate amount of distributions declared in respect of such quarter. The Distribution Coverage ratio is used by management to illustrate our ability to make our distributions each quarter. We believe that the presentation of EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow provide information useful to investors in assessing our financial condition and results of operations. The GAAP measures most directly comparable to EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow are net income and net cash provided by operating activities. EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow should not be considered alternatives to net income, net cash provided by (used in) operating activities or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP. EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow exclude some, but not all, items that affect net income or net cash, and these measures may vary from those of other companies. As a result, EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow as presented in the following pages may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow should not be considered as alternatives to GAAP measures, such as net income, operating income, cash flow from operating activities, or any other GAAP measure of financial performance Q '17 2Q '17 (E) 2017 (E) Net Income $ 86 $ 35 $31 - $33 $135 - $147 Add: Depreciation and Amortization Add: Interest Expense, Net of Amount Capitalized Add: Income Tax Provision EBITDA $ 126 $ 37 $33 - $36 $146 - $162 Less: EBITDA Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests EBITDA Attributable to NBLX $ 26 $25 - $28 $110 - $122 Less: Maintenance Capital Expenditures & Cash Interest Distributable Cash Flow of NBLX $ 24 $22 - $25 $96 - $107 Distribution Coverage 1.8x 1.6x - 1.8x 1.7x - 1.9x
