(a) Gross margin consists of total operating revenues, including commodity derivative activity, less purchases
of natural gas, propane, NGLs and condensate. Gross margin is viewed as a non-GAAP measure under the
rules of the SEC, but is included as a supplemental disclosure because it is a primary performance measure
used by management as it represents the results of product sales versus product purchases. As an indicator
of our operating performance, gross margin should not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful
than, net income or cash flow as determined in accordance with GAAP. Our gross margin may not be
comparable to a similarly titled measure of another company because other entities may not calculate gross
margin in the same manner.
(b) Income tax expense relates primarily to the Texas margin tax and the Michigan business tax.
(c) Non-cash derivative mark-to-market is included in segment gross margin, along with cash settlements for
our derivative contracts.
