SemGroup Corporation Reports Second Quarter 2016 Results


Tulsa, OK - August 4, 2016 - SemGroup® Corporation (NYSE: SEMG) today announced its second quarter 2016 financial results.

SemGroup reported second quarter 2016 revenues of $287.4 million with net income attributable to SemGroup of $8.0 million, or $0.18 per diluted share. This compares with first quarter 2016 revenues of $314.9 million with a net loss attributable to SemGroup of $(15.3) million, or $(0.35) per diluted share. Second quarter 2015 revenues totaled $377.2 million with net income attributable to SemGroup of $23.3 million, or $0.53 per diluted share.

SemGroup's second quarter 2016 Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (Adjusted EBITDA) was $67.6 million, down approximately 13% from $77.7 million in first quarter 2016 and 16% from $80.0 million in second quarter 2015. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure and is reconciled to net income below.

"SemGroup’s second quarter reflected anticipated volume declines in several of our segments and the loss of distributions from our sale of a non-core investment. Despite the continued weakness in commodity prices, our business model continues to endure as we reposition for future growth," said Carlin Conner, president and chief executive officer of SemGroup. "As part of this growth strategy, we completed a significant equity offering in the second quarter and advanced our pending acquisition of Rose Rock Midstream. Additionally, we now have our key construction permits on our largest investment, the Maurepas Pipeline, a fully contracted project to serve investment-grade refining operations on the Gulf Coast for decades to come."
    
Recent Developments
In July, SemGroup received key permits needed for constructing the Maurepas Pipeline in Louisiana. Construction on the pipeline has begun on all fronts. However, due to delays in receiving these key permits, the project's completion has been extended into early 2017.

In June, SemGroup completed a common stock equity offering consisting of 8.6 million shares of its Class A common stock at an offering price of $27.00 per share. The company expects this raise in equity will further strengthen its balance sheet and provide more capital to pursue strategic growth plans, including organic projects as well as potential strategic acquisitions.

In May, the company announced an agreement to acquire all of the outstanding common units of its MLP, Rose Rock Midstream L.P., in an all stock-for-unit transaction. In connection with the transaction, SemGroup filed a registration statement on Form S-4 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on July 14. It is expected to close later this year. The transaction is designed to simplify SemGroup's corporate capital structure and deliver several important benefits to shareholders including an enhanced credit profile, dividend coverage and future dividend growth rate beyond 2016.

Second Quarter 2016 Dividend
The SemGroup board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend to common shareholders of $0.45 per share, resulting in an annualized dividend of $1.80 per share. This represents an increase of approximately 7% over the dividend of $0.42 per share with respect to the second quarter of 2015. The dividend will be paid on August 25, 2016 to all common shareholders of record on August 15, 2016.

2016 Guidance



Exhibit 99.1

SemGroup reaffirms 2016 consolidated Adjusted EBITDA guidance of between $270 and $320 million. Due primarily to the company's recent sale of NGL Energy limited partner units, the company expects to come in below the midpoint of its guidance range. SemGroup is also on track to deploy approximately $455 million in capital investments in 2016. The company expects to maintain its current dividend of $0.45 per share until the closing of the previously mentioned Rose Rock Midstream merger transaction.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
SemGroup’s non-GAAP measure, Adjusted EBITDA, is not a GAAP measure and is not intended to be used in lieu of GAAP presentation of net income (loss), which is the most closely associated GAAP measure. Adjusted EBITDA represents earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, adjusted for selected items that SemGroup believes impact the comparability of financial results between reporting periods. Although SemGroup presents selected items that it considers in evaluating its performance, you should also be aware that the items presented do not represent all items that affect comparability between the periods presented. Variations in SemGroup’s operating results are also caused by changes in volumes, prices, exchange rates, mechanical interruptions and numerous other factors. These types of variances are not separately identified in this presentation.

This measure may be used periodically by management when discussing our financial results with investors and analysts and is presented as management believes it provides additional information and metrics relative to the performance of our businesses. This non-GAAP financial measure has important limitations as an analytical tool because it excludes some, but not all, items that affect the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. You should not consider non-GAAP measures in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Management compensates for the limitations of our non-GAAP measures as analytical tools by reviewing the comparable GAAP measures, understanding the differences between the non-GAAP measure and the most comparable GAAP measure and incorporating this knowledge into its decision-making processes. We believe that investors benefit from having access to the same financial measures that our management uses in evaluating our operating results. Because all companies do not use



Exhibit 99.1

identical calculations, our presentations of non-GAAP measures may be different from similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing their utility.
