FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. Reports
Record Results for 2005

(Houston—February 23, 2006) Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. (NYSE: PAA) today reported net income of $53.7 million, or $0.64 per diluted limited partner unit, for the fourth quarter of 2005. These financial results represent an increase of 117% and 100%, respectively, over net income of $24.7 million, or $0.32 per diluted limited partner unit, for the fourth quarter of 2004. For the full year 2005, the Partnership reported net income of $217.8 million, or $2.72 per diluted limited partner unit, an increase of 68% and 44%, respectively, over net income of $130.0 million, or $1.89 per diluted limited partner unit, for the full year 2004.

As reported, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) for the fourth quarter of 2005 was $94.1 million, an increase of 50% as compared with EBITDA of $62.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2004. EBITDA for the full year 2005 was $360.7 million, an increase of 47% as compared with EBITDA of $245.4 million for the full year 2004. (See the section of this release entitled “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and the attached tables for discussion of EBITDA and other non-GAAP financial measures, and reconciliations of such measures to the comparable GAAP measures.)

“The strong operating and financial results for the fourth quarter provided an appropriate conclusion to a record setting year for the Partnership,” said Greg L. Armstrong, Chairman and CEO of Plains All American.  “The performance of the Partnership this past year once again highlights the complementary strengths of our strategically located assets and our business model.”

“In addition to delivering outstanding performance throughout the year, we also met or exceeded each of our stated goals, significantly expanded our portfolio of organic growth projects, made substantial  progress in our foreign crude initiative and established a platform for future growth in the natural gas storage business,” added Armstrong. “The combination of these activities allowed us to increase distributions to unitholders by approximately 12% and positioned the Partnership for continued growth.”

Armstrong also noted that despite the significant growth experienced during the year, the Partnership was able to improve its capital structure and increase its financial flexibility. The Partnership ended the year with a long-term debt-to-total capitalization ratio of 42%, strong credit metrics and approximately $800 million of available capacity on its senior unsecured credit facility.

Reported results include the impact of various items that affect comparability between reporting periods. Adjusting for selected items impacting comparability, the Partnership’s fourth quarter 2005 adjusted net income, adjusted net income per limited partner unit and adjusted EBITDA were $62.6 million, $0.75 per diluted unit, and $103.0 million, respectively. Similarly, the Partnership’s fourth quarter 2004 adjusted net income, adjusted net income per limited partner unit and adjusted EBITDA were $29.3 million, $0.39 per diluted unit, and $67.2 million, respectively. On a comparable basis, fourth quarter 2005 adjusted net income, adjusted net income per diluted limited partner unit and adjusted EBITDA increased 114%, 92% and 53%, respectively, over fourth quarter 2004.

The Partnership’s adjusted net income, adjusted net income per diluted limited partner unit and adjusted EBITDA for the full year of 2005 were $264.9 million, $3.47 per unit, and $407.8 million, respectively. For 2004, these same financial measures were $137.0 million, $2.00 per diluted unit, and $252.4 million, respectively. Using this same basis for comparison, 2005 adjusted net income, adjusted net income per diluted limited partner unit and adjusted EBITDA increased 93%, 74% and 62%, respectively, over 2004.




The following table summarizes selected items that the Partnership believes impact the comparability of financial results between reporting periods:

Note:                      Figures may not sum due to rounding.

(1)          Selected items impacting comparability for the 2004 period does not include several items that were previously included. The impact is a reduction of selected items impacting comparability that are used to calculate adjusted net income of $2.0 million and $0.03 per basic and diluted limited partner unit for the 3 months ended December 31, 2004 (previously, these items totaled $(6.6) million and $(0.10) per basic and diluted unit for the quarter) and $2.2 million and $0.03 per basic and diluted limited partner unit for the year ended December 31, 2004 (previously, these items totaled $(9.2) million and $(0.14) per basic and diluted unit for the year). Because the majority of these items were reclassified into depreciation and amortization, the net impact of these items on adjusted EBITDA was negligible.

(2)          For the full year ended December 31, 2005, the Partnership’s net income exceeded the cash distribution paid during such periods, which required the application of Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 03-06: “Participating Securities and the Two-Class Method under FASB Statement No. 128” (“EITF 03-06”). This theoretical calculation does not impact the Partnership’s aggregate net income or EBITDA, but does reduce the Partnership’s net income per limited partner unit. The application of EITF 03-06 negatively impacted basic and diluted earnings per limited partner unit by $0.10 for the full year 2005.

The Partnership’s net income and EBITDA for the fourth quarter and full year of 2005 include $1.0 million of earnings associated with the Partnership’s 50% ownership interest in PAA/Vulcan Gas Storage, LLC.

(1)                Includes inter-segment amounts.

(2)                Segment general and administrative expenses (G&A) reflect direct costs attributable to each segment and an allocation of other expenses to the segments based on the business activities that existed at that time. The proportional allocations by segment require judgment by management and will continue to be based on the business activities that exist during each period.

(3)                Amounts related to SFAS 133 are included in revenues and impact segment profit. The SFAS 133 mark-to-market adjustment is primarily based upon crude oil prices at the end of the period and is related to the non-effective portion of our cash flow hedges, as well as certain derivative contracts that do not qualify under SFAS 133 as cash flow hedges. The net gain or loss related to these derivative instruments is principally offset by physical positions in future periods.

(4)                Gains/losses on foreign currency revaluation are included in the Gathering, Marketing, Terminalling & Storage segment.

Excluding selected items impacting comparability in both periods, segment profit from pipeline operations in the fourth quarter of 2005 was $40.3 million, a $1.8 million decrease as compared to segment profit of $42.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2004. Results for the fourth quarter of 2005 reflect approximately $3.0 million of higher utility and power costs as well as two isolated adjustments totaling $4.5 million. These adjustments consist of a hurricane related expense accrual of $1.9 million (which includes a $1.0 million reallocation from our GMTS segment) and a $2.6 million reserve for a third party tariff claim relating to prior years’ activities on one of our Canadian pipelines. Average daily pipeline volumes totaled 1.8 million barrels per day in the fourth quarter of 2005 versus 1.6 million barrels per day in the prior year period. Excluding selected items impacting comparability in both periods, segment profit from gathering, marketing, terminalling and storage operations in the fourth quarter of 2005 was up approximately 145% over the corresponding period in 2004 as a result of favorable market conditions.

Adjusted segment profit from pipeline operations in 2005 was $186.8 million versus $161.1 million in 2004. Adjusted segment profit from gathering, marketing, terminalling and storage operations was $219.4 million in 2005 versus $91.5 million in 2004. These strong year-over-year results are related to a number of factors, including a fundamental increase in our sustainable performance level and very favorable market conditions that complemented our asset base and business model.

The Partnership’s basic weighted average units outstanding for the fourth quarter of 2005 totaled 73.7 million (75.3 million diluted) as compared to 67.3 million (67.3 million diluted) in last year’s fourth quarter. At December 31, 2005, the Partnership had approximately 73.8 million units outstanding, long-term debt of $951.7 million and a long-term debt-to-total capitalization ratio of approximately 42%.

On February 14, 2006, the Partnership paid a cash distribution of $0.6875 per unit ($2.75 per unit on an annualized basis) on its outstanding limited partner units. The distribution represents an increase of 12.2% over the February 2005 distribution and approximately 1.85% over the November 2005 distribution. This represents the 7th consecutive quarterly distribution increase and the 14th distribution increase for the Partnership in the last 20 quarters.

The Partnership today furnished a current report on Form 8-K, which includes material in this press release and financial and operational guidance for the first quarter and full year 2006. A copy of the Form 8-K is available on the Partnership’s website at www.paalp.com.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In this release, the Partnership’s EBITDA disclosure is not presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and is not intended to be used in lieu of GAAP presentations of results of operations or cash provided by operating activities. EBITDA is presented because we believe it provides additional information with respect to both the performance of our fundamental business activities as well as our ability to meet our future debt service, capital expenditures and working capital requirements. We also believe that debt holders commonly use EBITDA to analyze Partnership performance. In addition, we present selected items that impact the comparability of our operating results as additional information that may be helpful to your understanding of our financial results. We consider an understanding of these selected items impacting comparability to be material to our evaluation of our operating results and prospects. Although we present selected items that we consider in evaluating our performance, you should also be aware that the items presented do not represent all items that affect comparability between the periods presented. Variations in our operating results are also caused by changes in volumes, prices, exchange rates, mechanical interruptions, acquisitions and numerous other factors. These types of variations are not separately identified in this release, but will be discussed in management’s discussion and analysis of operating results in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

A reconciliation of EBITDA to net income and cash flow from operating activities for the periods presented is included in the tables attached to this release. In addition, the Partnership maintains on its website (www.paalp.com) a reconciliation of all non-GAAP financial information, such as EBITDA, that it reconciles to the most comparable GAAP measures. To access the information, investors should click on the “Investor Relations” link on the Partnership’s home page and then the “Non-GAAP Reconciliation” link on the Investor Relations page.

(1)          Certain reclassifications have been made to prior periods to conform to 2005 presentation.

(2)                    Current quarter includes $2.7 million reduction in maintenance capital resulting from a reclassification of prior period costs from maintenance capital to expansion capital.

(3)                    The application of EITF 03-06 negatively impacted  basic and diluted earnings per limited partner unit by approximately $0.10 for the year ended 2005.

(4)                    Selected items impacting comparability for the 2004 period does not include several items that were previously included. The impact is a reduction of selected items impacting comparability that are used to calculate adjusted net income of $2.0 million and $0.03 per basic and diluted limited partner unit for the 3 months ended December 31, 2004 (previously, these items totaled $(6.6) million and $(0.10) per basic and diluted unit for the quarter) and $2.2 million and $0.03 per basic and diluted limited partner unit for the year ended December 31, 2004 (previously, these items totaled $(9.2) million and $(0.14) per basic and diluted unit for the year).  Because the majority of these items were reclassified into depreciation and amortization, the net impact of these items on adjusted EBITDA was negligible.
