9. Growth Drivers for 2012 / 2013
Crestwood built solid operating platform across major shale
plays through 6 acquisitions (2010-2012)
Lower natural gas prices have slowed development of dry gas
systems in Barnett dry, Fayetteville and Haynesville shale plays
2012-2013 growth will come from rich gas areas including
Barnett, Marcellus and Granite Wash systems due to strong
producer drilling economics (NGL upgrade) which drive
development activity
Additional accretive bolt-on acquisitions and drop-downs from
CMM and Holdco will supplement growth 2013+
New green field development projects will position Crestwood for
long term growth 2014+

16. Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The following slides of this presentation provide reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures adjusted EBITDA to its
most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles in the United States of America ("GAAP"). Our non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as
alternatives to GAAP measures such as net income or operating income or any other GAAP measure of liquidity or financial
performance.
We define adjusted EBITDA as net income from continuing operations adjusted for interest expense, income taxes,
depreciation, amortization and accretion expense and certain non-recurring expenses, including but not limited to items such
as transaction related expenses and gains/losses on the exchange of property, plant and equipment. Adjusted EBITDA is
commonly used as a supplemental financial measure by senior management and by external users of our financial
statements, such as investors, research analysts and rating agencies, to assess the financial performance of our assets
without regard to financing methods, capital structures or historical cost basis.
