The information in Item 7.01 of this report is being furnished, not filed, pursuant to Regulation FD. Accordingly, the information in Item 7.01 of this report will not be incorporated by reference into any registration statement filed by the Partnership under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, unless specifically identified therein as being incorporated therein by reference. ITEM 9.01 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND EXHIBITS 99.1 Pacific Energy Partners, L.P. Press Release dated August 2, 2005. Calculations of distributable cash flow for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2005, are presented in the press release included as an exhibit to this Form 8-K. Distributable cash flow is a significant financial measure used by our management to compare cash flows generated by the partnership to the cash distributions we make to our limited partners and we believe that investors benefit from having access to the same financial measures being utilized by management. Using this financial measure, management can quickly compute the coverage ratio of these cash flows to cash distributions. This is an important financial measure for our limited partners since it is an indicator of our success in providing a cash return on their investment. Specifically, this financial measure tells investors whether or not the partnership is generating cash flows at a level that can sustain or support an increase in our quarterly cash distributions paid to limited partners. Lastly, distributable cash flow is the quantitative standard used throughout the investment community with respect to publicly traded partnerships. However, distributable cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, cash flow from operations, or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. In addition, our distributable cash flow may not be comparable to distributable cash flow or similarly titled measures of other companies. Several adjustments to net income are required to calculate distributable cash flow. These adjustments include: (i) the addition of Line 63 oil release costs; (ii) the addition of compensation expense due to the accelerated vesting under our long-term incentive plan; (iii) the addition of general partner costs that were incurred and reimbursed in associated with the sale of our general partner; (iv) the addition of write-off of deferred financing costs; (v) the addition of depreciation and amortization expense; (vi) the addition of amortization of bond discount and debt issue costs, which are included in interest expense; (vii) the addition of non-cash employee compensation under our long-term incentive plan; (viii) the addition of deferred income tax expense or subtraction of deferred income tax benefit; and (ix) the subtraction of sustaining capital expenditures. Sustaining capital expenditures are expenditures to replace partially or fully depreciated assets in order to maintain the existing operating capacity or efficiency of our assets and extend their useful lives. Calculations of recurring net income for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2005, are presented in the press release included as an exhibit to this Form 8-K. Recurring net income is a non-GAAP financial measure. This measure is used to more precisely compare year over year net income by eliminating one-time, non-recurring charges. To calculate recurring net income for the six months ended June 30, 2005, the amounts relating to the expense associated with the Line 63 oil release, the compensation expense due to the accelerated vesting of the long-term incentive plan, and the transaction expenses associated with the sale of our general partner, which were reimbursed by LB Pacific, LP and The Anschutz Corporation, were added back to net income. To calculate recurring net income for the six months ended June 30, 2004, the amounts relating to the write-off of deferred financing cost and the interest rate swap termination expense were added back to net income. SIGNATURES Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned thereunto duly authorized. PACIFIC ENERGY PARTNERS, L.P. By: PACIFIC ENERGY GP, LP, its general partner By: PACIFIC ENERGY MANAGEMENT LLC, by its general partner By: /S/ GERALD A. TYWONIUK ---------------------- Gerald A. Tywoniuk Senior Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer Dated: August 2, 2005 EXHIBIT INDEX Exhibit 99.1 -- Pacific Energy Partners, L.P. Press Release dated August 2, 2005 EX-99.1 2 a4944944ex99-1.txt EXHIBIT 99.1 Exhibit 99.1 Pacific Energy Partners, L.P. Reports Earnings for Second Quarter 2005 LONG BEACH, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 2, 2005--Pacific Energy Partners, L.P. (NYSE:PPX) ("Pacific") announced that net income for the three months ended June 30, 2005, was $12.2 million, or $0.40 per limited partner unit, compared to net income of $9.1 million, or $0.30 per limited partner unit, for the period ended June 30, 2004. Recurring net income for the three months ended June 30, 2005, was also $12.2 million, or $0.40 per limited partner unit, compared to recurring net income of $12.0 million, or $0.40 per limited partner unit, in the second quarter of 2004. All per unit amounts in the text of this news release are reported on a diluted basis. Recurring net income for the second quarter of 2004 excludes a $2.9 million write off of deferred financing costs associated with last year's bond offering and term loan repayment. The results for the quarter ended June 30, 2005, reflect increased pipeline volumes in the Rocky Mountains, higher tank utilization and additional storage capacity for Pacific Terminals, and the benefit of a full quarter of operations in 2005 for the Rangeland system, which was acquired in May 2004. These increases were offset by lower pipeline volumes on the West Coast and by $1.4 million of pipeline repair and maintenance costs associated with earth movement and stream erosion due to heavy rainfall in Southern California. For the six months ended June 30, 2005, net income was $15.6 million, or $0.58 per limited partner unit, compared to $17.2 million, or $0.62 per limited partner unit, for the period ended June 30, 2004. Recurring net income for the six months ended June 30, 2005, was $22.6 million, or $0.74 per limited partner unit, compared with $20.1 million, or $0.72 per limited partner unit, for the six months ended June 30, 2004. Net income for the first six months of 2005 reflects the benefit of a full six months of operations in 2005 for the Rangeland system, which was acquired in May 2004, higher pipeline volumes in the Rocky Mountains, and higher storage and terminaling revenues for Pacific Terminals. Offsetting these increases were significantly lower gathering and blending margins from PMT compared to higher than average margins experienced in the same period of 2004, and $2.0 million of unscheduled repairs and maintenance associated with earth movement and stream erosion problems caused by the heavy rainfall in Southern California. Recurring net income for the six months ended June 30, 2005, excludes a $2.0 million expense for the insurance deductible associated with the remediation of the Pyramid Lake oil release on Line 63, a $3.1 million expense related to the accelerated vesting of restricted units under Pacific's long-term incentive plan as a result of the change in control attributable to the purchase of Pacific's general partner by LB Pacific, LP, and a $1.8 million expense as a result of the general partner transaction (an item that was required to be recorded as a partnership expense with the general partner's payment of it recorded as a capital contribution). Recurring net income for the six months ended June 30, 2004, excludes the $2.9 million write off of deferred financing costs. "We are pleased with the continued progress of our two strategic business units, which we expect will be further enhanced by the acquisition of storage and pipeline assets from Valero L.P. that was previously announced. Our May 2004 Rangeland acquisition continues to exceed expectations, and has also been adding value to our U.S. Rocky Mountain pipelines. We are currently progressing a series of expansion projects to increase capacity on the Glacier system, Frontier pipeline, and the Salt Lake City Core system to be completed in phases over the next several years," stated Irv Toole, President and CEO of Pacific. "Our second quarter results continue to show the strength of the Pacific Terminals storage and distribution system on the West Coast. That, coupled with the pipeline volume growth that our Rocky Mountain business unit has experienced, has offset the effect of lower West Coast pipeline volumes and significant pipeline repair costs associated with record rainfall in Southern California." On July 21, 2005, Pacific announced a cash distribution of $0.5125 per unit for the second quarter of 2005, or $2.05 per unit annualized. This is unchanged from the first quarter 2005 distribution level and is 5.1% higher than the second quarter 2004 distribution level. The distribution will be paid on August 12, 2005, to holders of record as of August 1, 2005. Distributable cash flow available to the limited partners' interest for the second quarter of 2005 was $18.2 million. On a diluted weighted average basis, there were 29,742,000 limited partner units outstanding during the second quarter of 2005. Pursuant to the terms of the partnership agreement, on August 12, 2005, 2,616,250 subordinated units owned by LB Pacific, LP will convert on a one-for-one basis to common units. The conversion of the subordinated units will not affect future cash distributions. OPERATING RESULTS BY SEGMENT WEST COAST BUSINESS UNIT Operating income was $12.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005, compared to $14.1 million in the corresponding period in 2004. West Coast pipeline volumes for the three months ended June 30, 2005, were approximately 14% lower than in the second quarter of 2004. During the quarter, volumes were impacted by unplanned Los Angeles area refinery maintenance, lower Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) production due to maintenance activities, natural production decline, and diversion of some volumes north to San Francisco. In addition, although Pacific was able to shift significant volumes of crude oil from Line 63 to Line 2000 during the period that Line 63 was out of service due to the landslide at Pyramid Lake, some volumes were lost during this quarter as customers sought to ensure their supply. In March 2005, Pacific experienced a significant oil release on Line 63 in northern Los Angeles County in the Pyramid Lake area, which was caused by a rain-induced landslide. In addition, record rainfall in Southern California caused stream erosion and earth movement, exposing Pacific's pipelines in multiple locations. The total costs associated with the oil recovery and restoration effort at Pyramid Lake is now estimated at $15 million. Pacific believes that its insurance carrier will pay these costs, excluding a $2.0 million deductible, and has been receiving timely reimbursements to date. Additionally, Pacific estimates that the cost of pipeline repairs and improvements associated with the Pyramid Lake landslide and the costs to address earth movement and stream erosion problems at other locations along Line 63 and Line 2000 will total approximately $5.5 million, of which $3.7 million is expected to be expensed and $1.8 million is expected to be capitalized. Of the expense portion, $1.4 million and $2.0 million were incurred during the second quarter and year-to-date periods, respectively. The California Public Utilities Commission recently approved our application to implement a temporary surcharge of $0.10 per barrel on Line 63 long haul tariff rates, effective August 1, 2005, to recover the repair costs and insurance deductible. Pacific Terminals' storage facilities had a higher rate of utilization during the quarter, as well as increased storage capacity. The higher utilization was primarily the result of refinery maintenance in the Los Angeles Basin. PMT margins were unchanged in the second quarter of 2005 from the second quarter of 2004. On July 1, 2005, Pacific purchased certain crude oil contracts and crude oil inventories for $2.2 million plus additional future payments to be made over the next three-and-one-half years, based on the performance of the contracts. The purchase contracts were integrated into PMT's business. Pacific continues to advance the Pier 400 deepwater import terminal project in the environmental permitting process, as well as in securing additional customer commitments. Pacific expects to have the permits necessary to begin construction in the second quarter of 2006, with completion and start-up expected in the fourth quarter of 2007. ROCKY MOUNTAIN BUSINESS UNIT Operating income was $9.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005, compared to $5.7 million in the corresponding period in 2004. The increase included a full quarter's results of the Rangeland system which was acquired in May 2004, as well as increased market share for pipeline shipments of crude oil to Billings, Montana, and increased crude oil demand by Salt Lake City refiners. Pipeline volumes in the U.S. Rocky Mountains for the second quarter of 2005 were approximately 5% higher than in the corresponding quarter of 2004. Salt Lake City Core and Frontier Pipeline volumes improved due to an increase in capacity resulting from an agreement in June 2005 with the connecting carrier. In Canada, the new receiving terminal and pump station for Rangeland, which will provide access to synthetic and other types of crude oil in Edmonton, is expected to begin operations in the middle of the fourth quarter of 2005. LOOKING FORWARD For the full year ending December 31, 2005, Pacific is forecasting recurring net income of $1.37 to $1.45 per unit. Included in the full year guidance is $0.15 per limited partner unit of unusual and unanticipated expense, including $3.7 million of pipeline repairs on Line 63 and Line 2000 associated with earth movement and stream erosion and $0.7 million of similar repairs on Rangeland pipeline, which was also impacted by record-setting rains late in the second quarter. For the quarter ending September 30, 2005, Pacific is forecasting net income of $0.24 to $0.28 per unit. This guidance does not include the benefit of the acquisition of assets from Valero L.P. discussed further below. Reconciling items between projected recurring net income and net income for full year 2005 are unchanged from those set out in the attached schedule for the six months ended June 30, 2005. As previously announced, management intends to recommend a distribution increase of $0.03 per limited partner unit per quarter, associated with the acquisition of assets from Valero L.P., and an additional $0.0125 per quarter increase associated with the start-up of the initiating synthetic crude oil facility in Edmonton. These expected increases are unchanged by the unusual costs described above. For the full year, Pacific is projecting total capital expenditures of $57 million, including $42 million for expansion projects, $12 million for transition capital projects, and $3 million for sustaining capital projects. The Partnership is increasing its profit generating capital forecast by $17 million, principally in the Rocky Mountains and for Pier 400. These estimates exclude any planned expansion projects associated with the assets being acquired from Valero L.P. ACQUISITION OF CERTAIN ASSETS FROM VALERO L.P. On July 5, 2005, Pacific announced that it had signed a definitive agreement to acquire certain terminal and pipeline assets from subsidiaries of Valero L.P. consisting of two California terminals handling refined products, refinery blend stocks, and crude oil with 4.1 million barrels of storage, three East Coast refined and specialty products terminals with 3.2 million barrels of storage, and a 550-mile refined products pipeline with four truck terminals and 1.7 million barrels of storage in the U.S. Rocky Mountains. The aggregate purchase price is $455 million. Pacific expects to fund the acquisition by issuing common units for approximately 60-65% of the acquisition price and debt securities for approximately 35-40% of the acquisition price. The acquisition of these assets is expected to close by the end of September 2005. Pacific will host a conference call at 2:00 p.m. EDT (11:00 a.m. PDT) on Wednesday, August 3, 2005, to discuss the results of the second quarter of 2005. Please join us at www.PacificEnergy.com for the live broadcast. The call, with questions and answers, will continue to be available on Pacific's web site following the call. About Pacific Energy: Pacific Energy Partners, L.P. is a master limited partnership headquartered in Long Beach. Pacific is engaged principally in the business of gathering, transporting, storing, and distributing crude oil and other related products in California and the Rocky Mountain region, including Alberta, Canada. Pacific generates revenues primarily by transporting crude oil on its pipelines and by leasing capacity in its storage facilities. Pacific also buys, blends, and sells crude oil, activities that are complementary to its pipeline transportation business. Pacific Energy recently announced the signing of a definitive agreement to purchase several refined products terminals and a pipeline for $455 million. Closing is expected by the end of September 2005 following receipt of regulatory approvals. This news release may include "forward-looking" statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. All statements other than statements of historical fact included or incorporated herein may constitute forward-looking statements. Although Pacific believes that the forward-looking statements are reasonable, it can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct. The estimates associated with the acquisition are based on facts known at the time of estimation and Pacific's assessment of the ultimate outcome. Among the factors that could cause results to differ materially are regulatory and other closing requirements and the successful integration and future performance of the assets acquired. The forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that may affect Pacific's operations and financial performance. Among the factors that could cause results to differ materially are those risks discussed in Pacific's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004. The estimates associated with the oil release are based on facts known at the time of estimation and the Partnership's assessment of the ultimate outcome. Among the many uncertainties that impact the estimates are the necessary regulatory approvals for, and potential modification of remediation and repair plans, the amount of data available at the time of the assessment of the impact of soil and water contamination, the current uncertainty of the geological conditions that will be encountered during the final repairs of the Line 63 pipeline, changes in costs associated with environmental remediation services and equipment, and the possibility of third-party legal claims giving rise to additional expenses. Therefore, no assurance can be made that costs incurred in excess of the estimated costs, if any, would not have a material adverse effect on the Partnership's financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows, although the Partnership believes it is likely that most, if not all, of any such excess cost, to the extent attributable to clean-up and third-party claims, would be recoverable through insurance. As new information becomes available in future periods, the Partnership may change its expense accrual and recovery estimates.

Although this event will involve an outlay of cash, we believe these costs are unusual and are not indicative of the Partnership's recurring earnings. (2) The cash cost associated with the accelerated vesting of units is $2.0 million. However, we have not deducted this amount in determining distributable cash flow as the accelerated vesting was unusual and not indicative of the Partnership's recurring earnings. (3) Pursuant to an Ancillary Agreement, our general partner reimbursed us $1.8 million for costs incurred in connection with the sale of our general partner. Generally accepted accounting principles require us to record an expense with the reimbursement shown as a partner's capital contribution. (4) In June 2004, in connection with the repayment of our term loan, we had a $2.3 million non-cash write-down of deferred financing costs and incurred a $0.6 million cash expense to terminate related interest rate swaps. (5) Distributable Cash Flow provides additional information for evaluating our ability to make the minimum quarterly distribution and is presented solely as a supplemental measure. You should not consider Distributable Cash Flow as an alternative to net income, income before taxes, cash flow from operations, or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Our Distributable Cash Flow may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other entities. Additional information regarding distributable cash flow is included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004. CONTACT: Pacific Energy Partners, L.P.
