ENABLE MIDSTREAM ANNOUNCES SECOND QUARTER 2017 FINANCIAL RESULTS, QUARTERLY DISTRIBUTIONS AND RECONTRACTING OF A KEY FIRM TRANSPORTATION AGREEMENT

Increases in total revenues, net income attributable to limited partners, net income attributable to common and subordinated units, gross margin, Adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow (DCF) for second quarter 2017 compared to second quarter 2016
Increases in natural gas gathered and processed volumes for second quarter 2017 compared to second quarter 2016
All-time high for quarterly natural gas processed volumes, supported by 44 active rigs drilling wells expected to be connected to Enable's gathering systems
Quarterly cash distributions of $0.318 per unit on all outstanding common and subordinated units and $0.625 on all Series A Preferred Units
Recontracted with a key electric utility customer for firm intrastate transportation service

OKLAHOMA CITY (August 1, 2017) - Enable Midstream Partners, LP (NYSE: ENBL) (Enable) today announced second quarter 2017 financial results, quarterly distributions and recontracting of firm intrastate transportation capacity.

Net income attributable to limited partners was $95 million for second quarter 2017, an increase of $56 million compared to $39 million for second quarter 2016. Net income attributable to common and subordinated units was $86 million for second quarter 2017, an increase of $51 million compared to $35 million for second quarter 2016. The increase in both net income attributable to limited partners and net income attributable to common and subordinated units was primarily related to higher gross margin, partially offset by higher interest expense and higher depreciation and amortization expense. The increase in net income attributable to common and subordinated units was also partially offset by the prorated distributions on the Series A Preferred Units that were recognized in second quarter 2016 income.

Enable uses derivatives to manage commodity price risk, and the gain or loss associated with these derivatives is recognized in earnings. Enable’s net income attributable to limited partners and to common and subordinated units

1




for second quarter 2017 includes a $9 million gain on derivative activity, an increase of $43 million compared to a $34 million loss on derivative activity for second quarter 2016. The increase of $43 million is comprised of an increase related to the change in fair value of derivatives of $50 million and a decrease in realized gains on derivatives of $7 million. Additional details on derivative instruments and hedging activities can be found in Enable’s second quarter 2017 Form 10-Q.

Adjusted EBITDA for second quarter 2017 was $215 million, an increase of $19 million compared to $196 million for second quarter 2016. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily a result of higher gross margin after adjusting for non-cash items.

DCF for second quarter 2017 was $156 million, an increase of $12 million compared to $144 million for second quarter 2016. The increase in DCF was primarily a result of higher Adjusted EBITDA, partially offset by higher Adjusted interest expense.

Adjusted EBITDA, DCF and Adjusted interest expense are non-GAAP financial measures, and this press release provides a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

RECONTRACTED FIRM TRANSPORTATION SERVICE

In July, Enable Oklahoma Intrastate Transmission, LLC (EOIT) recontracted with a key electric utility customer for firm intrastate transportation service with similar terms through 2020. Also in July, Enable recontracted approximately 30,000 dekatherm per day (Dth/d) of firm interstate transportation capacity through the first quarter of 2021 with a utility customer on Enable Gas Transmission, LLC (EGT). These contract extensions further support Enable’s significant firm, fee-based margins with high-quality customers.

MANAGEMENT PERSPECTIVE

“Enable is on track for another great year in 2017,” said Enable Midstream President and CEO Rod Sailor. “The second quarter marked our sixth consecutive quarter of per-day natural gas gathered volume growth and a record-high quarter for natural gas processed volumes. This growth was driven by the highest level of producer rig activity on our system that we have reported in over two years.

“We achieved this growth by leveraging our significant scale and previous capital investments while demonstrating cost discipline. Going forward, we will continue to focus on capital-efficient growth opportunities and providing creative, timely and cost-effective solutions for our customers.”

QUARTERLY DISTRIBUTIONS AND CONVERSION OF SUBORDINATED UNITS TO COMMON UNITS

The Board of Directors of Enable’s general partner declared a quarterly cash distribution of $0.318 per unit on all outstanding common and subordinated units for the quarter ended June 30, 2017. The distribution is unchanged from the previous quarter. The quarterly cash distribution of $0.318 per unit on all outstanding common and subordinated units will be paid on August 29, 2017, to unitholders of record at the close of business on August 22, 2017.

The board also declared a quarterly cash distribution of $0.625 on all Series A Preferred Units for the quarter ended June 30, 2017. The quarterly cash distribution of $0.625 on all Series A Preferred Units outstanding will be paid on August 14, 2017, to unitholders of record at the close of business on July 31, 2017.

Upon the payment of the second quarter distribution, the financial tests will have been met for the termination of the subordination period for the subordinated units held by Enable's sponsors CenterPoint Energy, Inc. and OGE Energy Corp. Accordingly, the subordinated units will convert to common units on a one-for-one basis effective August 30, 2017, the first business day following the payment of the second quarter distribution.

BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS

In the gathering and processing segment, per-day natural gas gathered volumes in the Anadarko and Ark-La-Tex Basins grew for the sixth consecutive quarter as a result of continued commercial success and continued rig activity on Enable's gas gathering and processing systems in these basins. As of July 31, 2017, there were 44 active rigs across Enable's footprint that were drilling wells to be connected to Enable's gathering systems, representing an increase of approximately 38 percent compared to February 1, 2017. Thirty-one of those rigs were in the Anadarko Basin, and 9 were in the Ark-La-Tex Basin. Enable's Arkoma Basin and Williston Basin footprints had 3 rigs and 1 rig, respectively.

Enable's transportation and storage segment continues to provide significant, fee-based revenues and represents over 40 percent of Enable's 2017 year-to-date gross margin. In the second quarter of 2017, EGT recontracted a firm, fee-based interstate natural gas transportation service agreement through the second quarter of 2019 with XTO Energy, Inc. for 170,000 Dth/d, which partially offsets a reduction in firm transportation services between Carthage, Texas, and Perryville, Louisiana. In addition, intrastate transportation deliveries continue to grow as a result of growing supply in the Anadarko Basin, including growth from the SCOOP and STACK plays.

KEY OPERATING STATISTICS

Natural gas gathered volumes were 3.31 trillion British thermal units per day (TBtu/d) for second quarter 2017, an increase of 7 percent compared to 3.10 TBtu/d for second quarter 2016. The increase was primarily due to higher gathered volumes in the Anadarko and Ark-La-Tex Basins, partially offset by lower gathered volumes in the Arkoma Basin.

Natural gas processed volumes were 1.91 TBtu/d for second quarter 2017, an increase of 9 percent compared to 1.76 TBtu/d for second quarter 2016. The increase was primarily due to higher processed volumes in the Anadarko and Ark-La-Tex Basins, partially offset by lower processed volumes in the Arkoma Basin.

NGLs produced were 87.12 thousand barrels per day (MBbl/d) for second quarter 2017, an increase of 5 percent compared to 83.09 MBbl/d for second quarter 2016. The increase was primarily due to higher NGL production in the Anadarko Basin, partially offset by NGL production declines in the Arkoma Basin.

Crude oil gathered volumes were 23.20 MBbl/d for second quarter 2017, a decrease of 2.32 MBbl/d compared to 25.52 MBbl/d for second quarter 2016. The decrease was primarily due to natural declines and producer well shut-ins while completing new wells.


3




Interstate transportation firm contracted capacity was 6.21 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d) for second quarter 2017, a decrease of 11 percent compared to 6.95 Bcf/d for second quarter 2016. The decrease was primarily due to lower contracted firm transportation volumes between Carthage, Texas, and Perryville, Louisiana.

Intrastate transportation average deliveries were 1.84 TBtu/d for second quarter 2017, an increase of 7 percent compared to 1.72 TBtu/d for second quarter 2016. The increase was primarily related to increased supply in the Anadarko Basin.

SECOND QUARTER FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

Revenues were $626 million for second quarter 2017, an increase of $97 million compared to $529 million for second quarter 2016. Revenues included $117 million of intercompany eliminations for second quarter 2017 and $83 million of intercompany eliminations for second quarter 2016.

Gathering and processing segment revenues were $480 million for second quarter 2017, an increase of $93 million compared to $387 million for second quarter 2016. The increase in gathering and processing segment revenues was primarily due to an increase in revenues from NGL sales resulting from higher average NGL prices, an increase in revenues from sales of natural gas as a result of higher average natural gas prices, an increase in revenue from changes to the fair value of condensate and NGL derivatives, an increase in processing service revenues resulting from higher processed volumes and a percentage-of-proceeds contract that was converted to a fee-based contract in the second half of 2016 and an increase in natural gas gathering revenues due to higher fees and gathered volumes in the Anadarko and Ark-La-Tex Basins.

Transportation and storage segment revenues were $263 million for second quarter 2017, an increase of $38 million compared to $225 million for second quarter 2016. The increase in transportation and storage segment revenues was primarily due to an increase in revenues from changes in the fair value of natural gas derivatives, an increase in revenues from natural gas sales associated with higher sales volumes and higher average sales prices and an increase in revenues from off-system transportation. These increases were partially offset by realized losses on natural gas derivatives as compared to realized gains in 2016 and a decrease in firm transportation revenues between Carthage, Texas, and Perryville, Louisiana.

Gross margin was $347 million for second quarter 2017, an increase of $72 million compared to $275 million for second quarter 2017.

Gathering and processing segment gross margin was $211 million for second quarter 2017, an increase of $55 million compared to $156 million for second quarter 2016. The increase in gathering and processing segment gross margin was primarily due to an increase in natural gas sales due to higher average natural gas prices and higher volumes in the Anadarko and Ark-La-Tex Basins, an increase in gross margin from changes in the fair value of condensate and NGL derivatives, an increase in processing margins resulting from higher average NGL prices and higher processed volumes in the Anadarko Basin, an increase in gathering margin due to increased gathered volumes in the Anadarko and Ark-La-Tex Basins and an increase in margin associated with the annual fuel rate determination.

Transportation and storage segment gross margin was $136 million for second quarter 2017, an increase of $17 million compared to $119 million for second quarter 2016. The increase in transportation and storage

4




segment gross margin was primarily due to an increase in gross margin from changes in the fair value of natural gas derivatives, partially offset by a decrease in system management activities, realized losses on natural gas derivatives as compared to realized gains in 2016 and a decrease in firm transportation gross margin between Carthage, Texas, and Perryville, Louisiana.

Operation and maintenance and general and administrative expenses were $120 million for second quarter 2017, which is flat compared to second quarter 2016.
  
Depreciation and amortization expense was $89 million for second quarter 2017, an increase of $6 million compared to $83 million for second quarter 2016. The increase in depreciation and amortization expense was primarily a result of additional assets placed in service.

Taxes other than income taxes were $16 million for second quarter 2017, an increase of $1 million compared to $15 million for second quarter 2016. The increase was primarily a result of higher accrued ad valorem taxes due to additional assets placed in service.

Interest expense was $31 million for second quarter 2017, an increase of $6 million compared to $25 million for second quarter 2016. The increase was primarily due to higher interest rates on outstanding debt as a result of a long-term debt issuance in first quarter 2017 that resulted in the repayment of amounts outstanding under Enable's revolving credit facility.

Capital expenditures were $87 million for second quarter 2017, compared to $91 million for second quarter 2016. Expansion capital expenditures were $70 million for second quarter 2017, compared to $74 million for second quarter 2016. Maintenance capital expenditures were $17 million for second quarter 2017, compared to $17 million for second quarter 2016.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

Enable has included the non-GAAP financial measures Gross margin, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted interest expense, DCF and distribution coverage ratio in this press release based on information in its condensed consolidated financial statements.
Gross margin, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted interest expense, DCF and distribution coverage ratio are supplemental financial measures that management and external users of Enable’s financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies may use, to assess:
Enable’s operating performance as compared to those of other publicly traded partnerships in the midstream energy industry, without regard to capital structure or historical cost basis;
The ability of Enable’s assets to generate sufficient cash flow to make distributions to its partners;
Enable’s 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.
This press release includes a reconciliation of Gross margin to total revenues, Adjusted EBITDA and DCF to net income attributable to limited partners, Adjusted EBITDA to net cash provided by operating activities and Adjusted interest expense to interest expense, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures as applicable, for each of the periods indicated. Distribution coverage ratio is a financial performance measure used by management to reflect the relationship between Enable’s financial operating performance and cash distributions. Enable believes that the presentation of Gross margin, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted interest expense, DCF and distribution coverage ratio provides information useful to investors in assessing its financial condition and results of operations. Gross margin, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted interest expense, DCF and distribution coverage ratio should not be considered as alternatives to net income, operating income, total revenue, cash flow from operating activities or any

6




other measure of financial performance or liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP. Gross margin, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted interest expense, DCF and distribution coverage ratio have important limitations as analytical tools because they exclude some but not all items that affect the most directly comparable GAAP measures. Additionally, because Gross margin, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted interest expense, DCF and distribution coverage ratio may be defined differently by other companies in Enable’s industry, its definitions of these measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing their utility.
