References to “Parent Company” mean Enterprise GP Holdings L.P., individually as the parent company, and not on a consolidated basis.  The Parent Company is owned 99.99% by its limited partners and 0.01% by its general partner, EPE Holdings, LLC (“EPE Holdings”).  EPE Holdings is a wholly owned subsidiary of Dan Duncan, LLC, the membership interests of which are owned by Dan L. Duncan.

References to “Duncan Energy Partners” mean Duncan Energy Partners L.P., which is a consolidated subsidiary of EPO.  Duncan Energy Partners is a publicly traded Delaware limited partnership, the common units of which are listed on the NYSE under the ticker symbol “DEP.”  References to “DEP GP” mean DEP Holdings, LLC, which is the general partner of Duncan Energy Partners.

Basis of Financial Statement Presentation
 
           General Purpose Consolidated and Parent Company-Only Information
 
In accordance with rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and various other accounting standard-setting organizations, our general purpose consolidated financial statements reflect the consolidation of the financial statements of businesses that we control through the ownership of general partner interests (e.g., Enterprise Products Partners and TEPPCO).  Our general purpose consolidated financial statements

 
1

 
 
present those investments in which we do not have a controlling interest as unconsolidated affiliates (e.g., Energy Transfer Equity and LE GP).   To the extent that Enterprise Products Partners and TEPPCO reflect investments in unconsolidated affiliates in their respective consolidated financial statements, such investments will also be reflected as such in our general purpose consolidated financial statements unless subsequently consolidated by us due to common control considerations (e.g., Jonah Gas Gathering Company).  Also, minority interest presented in our financial statements reflects third-party and related party ownership of our consolidated subsidiaries, which include the third-party and related party unitholders of Enterprise Products Partners, TEPPCO and Duncan Energy Partners.  Unless noted otherwise, our discussions and analysis in this Current Report and press release are presented from the perspective of our consolidated businesses and operations.

In order for the unitholders of Enterprise GP Holdings L.P. and others to more fully understand the Parent Company’s business activities and financial statements on a standalone basis, our press release includes information devoted exclusively to the Parent Company apart from that of our consolidated Partnership.  A key difference between the non-consolidated Parent Company financial information and those of our consolidated Partnership is that the Parent Company views each of its investments (e.g., Enterprise Products Partners, TEPPCO and Energy Transfer Equity) as unconsolidated affiliates and records its share of the net income of each as equity earnings.  In accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), we eliminate such equity earnings in the preparation of our consolidated Partnership financial statements.
 
Presentation of Investments
 
Enterprise Products Partners and EPGP.  The Parent Company owns 13,454,498 common units of Enterprise Products Partners and 100% of the membership interests of EPGP, which is entitled to 2% of the cash distributions paid by Enterprise Products Partners as well as the associated incentive distribution rights (“IDRs”) of Enterprise Products Partners.

TEPPCO and TEPPCO GP.  Private company affiliates of EPCO contributed equity interests in TEPPCO and TEPPCO GP to the Parent Company in May 2007.  As a result of such contributions, the Parent Company owns 4,400,000 common units of TEPPCO and 100% of the membership interests of TEPPCO GP, which is entitled to 2% of the cash distributions of TEPPCO as well as the IDRs of TEPPCO.  The contributions of ownership interests in TEPPCO and TEPPCO GP were accounted for at historical costs as a reorganization of entities under common control in a manner similar to a pooling of interests.  The inclusion of TEPPCO and TEPPCO GP in our financial statements was effective January 1, 2005 because an affiliate of EPCO under common control with the Parent Company originally acquired the ownership interests of TEPPCO GP in February 2005.

All earnings derived from TEPPCO IDRs and TEPPCO common units in excess of those allocated to the Parent Company are presented as a component of minority interest in our consolidated financial statements.  In addition, the former owners of the TEPPCO and TEPPCO GP interests and rights were allocated all cash receipts from these investments during the periods they owned such interests prior to May 2007.

Energy Transfer Equity and LE GP.  In May 2007, the Parent Company acquired 38,976,090 common units of Energy Transfer Equity and approximately 34.9% of the membership interests of its general partner, LE GP, for $1.65 billion in cash.  Energy Transfer Equity owns limited partner interests and the general partner interest of ETP. We account for our investments in Energy Transfer Equity and LE GP using the equity method of accounting.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The press release and accompanying schedules include the non-generally accepted accounting principle (“non-GAAP”) financial measure of distributable cash flow.  Exhibit C provides a reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure to its most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP.  Distributable cash flow should not be considered an alternative to GAAP financial measures such as net income, net cash flow provided by operating activities or any other GAAP measure of liquidity or financial performance.  We define distributable cash flow as follows:

§  
Cash distributions expected to be received from the Parent Company’s investments in limited and general partner interests (including related IDRs, if any, held by these general partners); less the sum of,

 
2

 


§  
Parent Company general and administrative costs on a standalone basis; and

§  
EPGP and TEPPCO GP general and administrative costs on a standalone basis.

Distributable cash flow is a significant liquidity metric used by senior management to compare net cash flow generated by the Parent Company’s investments to the cash distributions the Parent Company is expected to pay its partners.  Using this metric, senior management can quickly compute the coverage ratio of estimated cash flow to planned cash distributions.

Distributable cash flow is an important non-GAAP financial measure for the Parent Company’s unitholders since it indicates to investors whether or not the Parent Company’s investments are generating cash flow at a level that can sustain or support an increase in quarterly cash distribution levels.  Financial metrics such as distributable cash flow are quantitative standards used by the investment community because the value of a partnership unit is in part measured by its yield (which, in turn, is based on the amount of cash distributions a partnership pays to a unitholder).

Enterprise GP Holdings Reports Second Quarter 2008 Results

Houston, Texas (Monday, August 11, 2008) – Enterprise GP Holdings L.P., (NYSE: EPE) today announced its consolidated and parent-only financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008.  Enterprise GP Holdings, the Parent Company, reported record distributable cash flow of $61.3 million for the second quarter of 2008.  Distributable cash flow for the second quarter of 2008 provided 1.1 times coverage of the $0.44 per unit distribution with respect to the second quarter of 2008 which was paid on August 8, 2008.  This distribution rate represents a 16 percent increase from the $0.38 per unit paid with respect to the second quarter of 2007. Distributable cash flow is a non-generally accepted accounting principle (“non-GAAP”) financial measure that is defined and reconciled later in this press release to its most directly comparable generally accepted accounting principle (“GAAP”) measure, which is net cash flow provided by operating activities.
 
Enterprise GP Holdings will receive $79.1 million of total cash distributions from its investments with respect to the second quarter of 2008.  This represents a 17 percent increase from the $67.9 million in distributions the Parent Company received with respect to the second quarter of 2007.  This increase in cash distributions is primarily due to higher cash distribution rates from Enterprise Products Partners, TEPPCO and Energy Transfer Equity with respect to the second quarter of 2008 relative to the same period in 2007.  The distributions with respect to the second quarter of 2008 are comprised of $43.6 million from Enterprise Products Partners L.P. and its general partner, which represents a 14 percent increase compared to the distributions received from Enterprise Products Partners with respect to the second quarter of last year; $16.7 million from TEPPCO Partners, L.P. and its general partner, which represents an 11 percent increase compared to the distributions received from TEPPCO with respect to the second quarter of 2007; and $18.8 million from Energy Transfer Equity, L.P. and its general partner, which is a 29 percent increase compared to the distributions received from Energy Transfer Equity with respect to the second quarter of last year.  The distributions from Enterprise and TEPPCO were received on August 7 while the cash distribution from Energy Transfer Equity is scheduled to be received on August 19.

Consolidated net income for Enterprise GP Holdings increased by 130 percent to $49.4 million, or $0.40 per unit on a fully diluted basis, for the second quarter of 2008 compared to $21.5 million, or $0.21 per unit on a fully diluted basis, for the second quarter of 2007.  This increase in consolidated net income is attributable to the continued strong financial and operating results of Enterprise Products Partners and TEPPCO, and equity earnings from Energy Transfer Equity reflecting results for three months in the second quarter of 2008 compared to two months of earnings reported in the second quarter of 2007.
 
“We benefited from our investment in each of the underlying MLPs this quarter as they posted exceptional results that led to another quarter of record distributable cash flow for our partnership,” said Dr. Ralph S. Cunningham, president and chief executive officer of Enterprise GP Holdings.  “We have a diversified base of cash flows originating from three investment grade partnerships with solid franchises in natural gas, NGLs and refined products.  We are excited about the multiple growth opportunities at Enterprise Products Partners, TEPPCO and Energy Transfer Partners.  As these partnerships execute on their growth plans the multiplier effect of our general partner interests will enhance our prospects for long-term distribution growth.  This will allow us to continue our impressive track record of increasing our cash distribution rate, as we have done every quarter since our initial public offering in August 2005.  During this time, we have increased our distribution rate by 76 percent.”


 Basis of Presentation of Financial Information

Our Investment in Enterprise Products Partners business segment reflects the consolidated operations of Enterprise Products Partners and its general partner.  Our Investment in TEPPCO business segment reflects the consolidated operations of TEPPCO and its general partner.  The Investment in TEPPCO segment represents the historical operations of TEPPCO and its general partner that were under common control with the Parent Company prior to its acquisition of these interests on May 7, 2007.  We control Enterprise Products Partners and TEPPCO through our ownership of their respective general partners.  Our Investment in Energy Transfer Equity business segment

 
 

 
 
reflects our non-controlling interests in Energy Transfer Equity and its general partner accounted for under the equity method of accounting.  We evaluate segment performance based on operating income.

In accordance with rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and various other accounting standard-setting organizations, our general purpose financial statements reflect the consolidation of the financial statements of businesses that we control through the ownership of general partner interests (e.g., Enterprise Products Partners and TEPPCO).  Our general purpose consolidated financial statements present those investments in which we do not have a controlling interest as unconsolidated affiliates (e.g., Energy Transfer Equity and its general partner).   To the extent that Enterprise Products Partners and TEPPCO reflect investments in unconsolidated affiliates in their respective consolidated financial statements, such investments will also be reflected as such in our general purpose financial statements unless subsequently consolidated by us due to common control considerations (e.g., Jonah Gas Gathering Company).  Also, minority interest presented in our financial statements reflects third-party and related party ownership of our consolidated subsidiaries, which include the third-party and related party unitholders of Enterprise Products Partners, TEPPCO and Duncan Energy Partners.  Unless noted otherwise, our discussions and analysis in this press release are presented from the perspective of our consolidated businesses and operations.

In order for the unitholders of Enterprise GP Holdings and others to more fully understand the Parent Company’s business activities and financial statements on a standalone basis, our press release includes information devoted exclusively to the Parent Company apart from that of our consolidated Partnership.  A key difference between the non-consolidated Parent Company financial information and those of our consolidated Partnership is that the Parent Company views each of its investments (i.e., Enterprise Products Partners, TEPPCO and Energy Transfer Equity) as unconsolidated affiliates and records its share of the net income of each as equity earnings.  In accordance with GAAP, we eliminate such equity earnings in the preparation of our consolidated Partnership financial statements.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The press release and accompanying schedules include the non-GAAP financial measure of distributable cash flow.  Exhibit C provides a reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure to its most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP.  Distributable cash flow should not be considered an alternative to GAAP financial measures such as net income, net cash flow provided by operating activities or any other GAAP measure of liquidity or financial performance.  We define distributable cash flow as follows:

§  
Cash distributions expected to be received from the Parent Company’s investments in limited and general partner interests (including related incentive distribution rights, if any, held by these general partners); less the sum of,

§  
Parent Company general and administrative costs on a standalone basis; and

§  
the general and administrative costs, on a standalone basis, of the general partners of Enterprise Products Partners and TEPPCO.

Distributable cash flow is a significant liquidity metric used by senior management to compare net cash flow generated by the Parent Company’s investments to the cash distributions the Parent Company is expected to pay its partners.  Using this metric, senior management can quickly compute the coverage ratio of estimated cash flow to planned cash distributions.

Distributable cash flow is an important non-GAAP financial measure for the Parent Company’s unitholders since it indicates to investors whether or not the Parent Company’s investments are generating cash flow at a level that can sustain or support an increase in quarterly cash distribution levels.  Financial metrics such as distributable cash flow are quantitative standards used by the investment community because the value of a partnership unit is in part measured by its yield (which, in turn, is based on the amount of cash distributions a partnership pays to a unitholder).

Company Information and Forward-Looking Statements

Enterprise GP Holdings L.P. is one of the largest publicly traded GP partnerships with an enterprise value of approximately $5 billion.  It owns the general partner and certain limited partner interests in Enterprise Products Partners L.P. and TEPPCO Partners, L.P. as well as certain non-controlling general partner and limited partner interests

This press release contains various forward-looking statements and information that are based on Enterprise GP Holdings’ beliefs and those of its general partner, as well as assumptions made by and information currently available to Enterprise GP Holdings.  When used in this press release, words such as “anticipate,” “project,” “expect,” “plan,” “goal,” “forecast,” “intend,” “could,” “believe,” “may,” and similar expressions and statements regarding the plans and objectives of Enterprise GP Holdings, Enterprise Products Partners, TEPPCO, Energy Transfer Equity or Energy Transfer Partners (the “Related Companies”) for future operations, are intended to identify forward-looking statements.  Although Enterprise GP Holdings and its general partner believe that such expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, neither Enterprise GP Holdings nor its general partner can give assurances that such expectations will prove to be correct. Such statements are subject to a variety of risks, uncertainties and assumptions.  If one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or if underlying assumptions prove incorrect, Enterprise GP Holdings’ actual results may vary materially from those it anticipated, estimated, projected or expected.  Among the key risk factors that may have a direct bearing on the Related Companies, and in turn, Enterprise GP Holdings’ results of operations and financial condition are:

§  
fluctuations in oil, natural gas and natural gas liquid prices and production due to weather and other natural and economic forces;

§  
the effects of the Related Companies debt level on its future financial and operating flexibility;

§  
a reduction in demand for the Related Companies products by the petrochemical, refining, heating or other industries;

a decline in the volumes delivered by the Related Companies’ facilities;

§  
the failure of any of the Related Companies’ credit risk management efforts to adequately protect it against customer non-payment;
