Distributable cash flow is also an important non-GAAP financial measure for ourlimited partners since it serves as an indicator of our success in providing acash return on investment. Specifically, this financial measure indicates toinvestors whether or not we are generating cash flows at a level that cansustain or support an increase in our quarterly cash distributions.Distributable cash flow is also a quantitative standard used by the investmentcommunity with respect to publicly-traded partnerships because the value of apartnership unit is in part measured by its yield (which in turn is based on theamount of cash distributions a partnership can pay to a unitholder). The GAAPmeasure most directly comparable to distributable cash flow is net cash flowsprovided by operating activities Adjusted EBITDA. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income or loss less equity inearnings of unconsolidated affiliates, plus distributions received fromunconsolidated affiliates, interest expense, provision for income taxes anddepreciation, amortization and accretion expense. Adjusted EBITDA is commonlyused as a supplemental financial measure by our senior management and byexternal users of our financial statements, such as investors, commercial banks,research analysts and rating agencies, to assess: (1) the financial performanceof our assets without regard to financing methods, capital structures orhistorical cost basis; (2) the ability of our assets to generate cash sufficientto pay interest cost and support our indebtedness; and (3) the viability ofprojects and the overall rates of return on alternative investmentopportunities.

Since Adjusted EBITDA excludes some, but not all, items thataffect net income or loss and because these measures may vary among othercompanies, the Adjusted EBITDA data presented in this press release may not becomparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.
