Appendices
WMB Non-GAAP Reconciliations WMB Non -GAAP Disclaimer > This presentation includes certain financial measures – adjusted EBITDA, adjusted income from continuing operations (“earnings”), adjusted earnings per share, cash available for dividends, dividend coverage ratio, distributable cash flow and cash distribution coverage ratio – that are non-GAAP financial measures as defined under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission > Our segment performance measure, modified EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) before income tax expense, net interest expense, equity earnings from equity-method investments, other net investing income, depreciation and amortization expense, and accretion expense associated with asset retirement obligations for nonregulated operations. We also add our proportional ownership share (based on ownership interest) of modified EBITDA of equity investments. > Adjusted EBITDA further excludes items of income or loss that we characterize as unrepresentative of our ongoing operations and may include assumed business interruption insurance related to the Geismar plant. Management believes this measure provides investors meaningful insight into results from ongoing operations > For Williams, cash available for dividends is defined as cash received from its ownership in MLPs, cash received (used) by its NGL & Petchem Services segment (other than cash for capital expenditures) less interest, taxes and maintenance capital expenditures associated with Williams and not the underlying MLPs. We also calculate the ratio of cash available for dividends to the total cash dividends paid (dividend coverage ratio). This measure reflects Williams’ cash available for dividends relative to its actual cash dividends paid. This transaction will result in the calculation of cash available for dividends beginning with adjusted Williams EBITDA rather than the cash received from its ownership in MLPs and cash received (used) by its NGL & Petchem Services segment (other than cash for capital expenditures) and also will be reduced by distributions to non-controlling interests. > This presentation is accompanied by a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their nearest GAAP financial measures. Management uses these financial measures because they are accepted financial indicators used by investors to compare company performance. In addition, management believes that these measures provide investors an enhanced perspective of the operating performance of the Company’s assets and the cash that the business is generating. > Neither adjusted EBITDA, adjusted income from continuing operations nor cash available for dividends are intended to represent cash flows for the period, nor are they presented as an alternative to net income or cash flow from operations. They should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for a measure of performance prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles. 14 Analyst Day 2015 | May 13, 2015 © 2015 The Williams Companies, Inc.
