Tulsa, OK - February 27, 2014 - SemGroup® Corporation (NYSE: SEMG) today announced its financial results for the three months and year ended December 31, 2013.

SemGroup's adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (Adjusted EBITDA) was $57.8 million for the fourth quarter 2013, compared to $52.1 million for the third quarter 2013 and $43.7 million for the fourth quarter 2012, an increase of 11% and 32%, respectively. Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP measure, is reconciled to net income (loss) below.

"2013 was an excellent year for our company. We continued a multi-quarter trend of strong results," said Norm Szydlowski, president and chief executive officer of SemGroup. "These results reflect the strength of our strategic plan and asset base. Looking to 2014, we are well positioned for another exciting year.

For the fourth quarter 2012, revenues totaled $315.8 million with net income attributable to SemGroup of $21.1 million, or $0.50 per diluted share.

Exhibit 99.1


Adjusted EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2013, totaled $189.0 million, up 40% from $135.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2012. For the year ended December 31, 2013, SemGroup reported revenues of $1.4 billion with a net income attributable to SemGroup of $48.1 million, or $1.13 per diluted share, compared to revenues of $1.2 billion with a net income attributable to SemGroup of $22.1 million, or $0.52 per diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2012.

Dividend
The SemGroup board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend to common shareholders of $0.22 per share, resulting in an annualized distribution of $0.88 per share. This represents a 5% increase from the previous quarterly dividend of $0.21. The dividend will be paid on March 20, 2014 to all common shareholders of record on March 10, 2014.

2014 Adjusted EBITDA and Capex Guidance
SemGroup anticipates 2014 consolidated Adjusted EBITDA of $245 million to $265 million, an increase of approximately 35% over 2013 results of $189.0 million. The company also expects to deploy $415 million in capital investments in 2014, with more than 85% allocated to growth projects.

Recent Updates
SemGroup announces plans to extend its current Wattenberg Oil Trunkline (WOT) in the DJ Basin in Colorado. The extension will further support the transportation of Noble Energy’s crude oil production from the wellhead.

The project will include a 38-mile, 12-inch pipeline extension, as well as 150,000 barrels of operational storage. The pipeline will expand northeast from the current WOT, connecting Noble Energy’s East Pony processing facilities in the northeast part of the DJ Basin. Rose Rock Midstream will continue to operate the pipeline and deliver to its Platteville Station, the origin point of White Cliffs Pipeline.

Noble Energy has entered into a long-term agreement to use the asset. The project is expected to be operational in the fourth quarter of 2014.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted EBITDA is not a generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) measure and is not intended to be used in lieu of a GAAP presentation of net income/loss. Adjusted EBITDA is presented in this Press Release because SemGroup believes it provides additional information with respect to its performance. Adjusted EBITDA represents earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, adjusted for selected items that SemGroup believes impact the comparability of financial results between reporting periods. Although SemGroup presents selected items that it considers in evaluating its performance, you should also be aware that the items presented do not represent all items that affect comparability between the periods presented. Variations in SemGroup's operating results are also caused by changes in volumes, prices, exchange rates, mechanical interruptions and numerous other factors. These types of variances are not separately identified in this Press Release. Because all companies do not use identical calculations, SemGroup's presentation of Adjusted EBITDA may be different from similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing its utility. Reconciliations of net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA for the periods presented are included in the tables at the end of this Press Release.

Although we believe that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot assure you that these expectations will prove to be correct. These forward-looking statements are subject to certain known and unknown risks and uncertainties, as well as assumptions that could cause actual results to differ materially from those reflected in these forward-looking statements.
