MANAGEMENT PERSPECTIVE

1

"Enable’s assets continue to shine," said Enable Midstream President and CEO Rod Sailor. "We have the right assets in the right places, and our investments are building on our preferred position. We placed Project Wildcat into service on time and under budget in the second quarter, bringing critical processing capacity and market access to growing Anadarko Basin production. We also signed several key transportation contracts in the second quarter, further affirming the critical role Enable’s pipelines play in connecting natural gas supply and demand."

BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS

During second quarter 2018, per-day natural gas gathered volumes grew for the 10th consecutive quarter as a result of strong rig activity across Enable's footprint. During second quarter 2018, Enable also achieved the highest per-day crude oil gathered volumes since the partnership's formation in May 2013. As of July 23, 2018, there were 42 rigs across Enable's footprint that were drilling wells expected to be connected to Enable's gathering systems. Thirty-one of those rigs were in the Anadarko Basin, nine were in the Ark-La-Tex Basin, one was in the Arkoma Basin and one was in the Williston Basin.

Producers continue to achieve strong well results in the Anadarko Basin. During second quarter 2018, Enable connected 20 new wells in the SCOOP and STACK plays with peak one-day natural gas flows of greater than 10 million cubic feet per day. Volume growth in the Anadarko Basin is supported by Enable's Project Wildcat, a rich natural gas takeaway solution that was placed into service in the second quarter of 2018 and is now operating at its fully contracted capacity.

During second quarter 2018, Enable contracted or extended 590,000 Dth/d of capacity on the Enable Gas Transmission, LLC (EGT) system and over 510,000 Dth/d of capacity on the Enable Mississippi River Transmission, LLC (MRT) system. On the MRT system, MRT recontracted transportation capacity with its largest customer, St. Louis-based Spire Inc., at existing contract demand levels of 437,240 Dth/d for one year. In addition, after the previously announced Line CP open season, EGT entered into a seven-year, 300,000 Dth/d contract with a producer for capacity between Carthage, Texas, and Perryville, Louisiana, which requires no additional capital investment.

Enable submitted its rate case filing for MRT June 29, 2018. The rate filing demonstrated an annual cost-of-service of $103.6 million, an increase of approximately $19.6 million above the overall cost-of-service established in the settlement that resolved MRT's last general rate case. As directed by a recent Federal Energy Regulatory Commission order, MRT plans to refile its rate case within 30 days of July 31, 2018, to reflect, among other things, the elimination of an income tax allowance. When coupled with a corresponding elimination of accumulated deferred income taxes, MRT does not expect a significant change to the previously-filed cost-of-service.

Enable's previously announced CaSE and Muskogee projects remain on schedule. The CaSE project, a 205,000 Dth/d firm natural gas transportation solution for growing Anadarko Basin production, achieved a planned contractual increase in volumes to 135,000 Dth/d in the second quarter of 2018 and is expected to grow to its fully contracted capacity by the end of the fourth quarter of 2018. The Muskogee project, a 20-year, 228,000 Dth/d firm transportation service agreement with Oklahoma Gas & Electric Company on the Enable Oklahoma Intrastate Transmission, LLC (EOIT) system, is expected to commence service by the end of the fourth quarter of 2018.

QUARTERLY DISTRIBUTIONS

2

On August 1, 2018, the board of directors of Enable’s general partner declared a quarterly cash distribution of $0.318 per unit on all outstanding common units for the quarter ended June 30, 2018. The distribution is unchanged from the previous quarter. The quarterly cash distribution of $0.318 per unit on all outstanding common units will be paid on August 28, 2018, to unitholders of record at the close of business on August 21, 2018.

The board also declared a quarterly cash distribution of $0.625 on all Series A Preferred Units for the quarter ended June 30, 2018. The quarterly cash distribution of $0.625 on all Series A Preferred Units outstanding will be paid on August 14, 2018, to unitholders of record at the close of business on August 1, 2018.

KEY OPERATING STATISTICS

Natural gas gathered volumes were 4.43 trillion British thermal units per day (TBtu/d) for second quarter2018, an increase of 34 percent compared to 3.31 TBtu/d for second quarter2017. The increase was primarily due to higher gathered volumes in the Anadarko and Ark-La-Tex Basins.

Natural gas processed volumes were 2.33 TBtu/d for second quarter2018, an increase of 22 percent compared to 1.91 TBtu/d for second quarter2017. The increase was primarily due to higher processed volumes in the Anadarko and Ark-La-Tex Basins.

NGLs produced were 130.65 MBbl/d for second quarter2018, an increase of 50 percent compared to 87.12 MBbl/d for second quarter2017. The increase was primarily due to higher natural gas processed volumes and higher plant recoveries of ethane.

Crude oil gathered volumes were 30.55 MBbl/d for second quarter2018, an increase of 32 percent compared to 23.20 MBbl/d for second quarter2017. The increase was primarily due to the expansion of the Bear Den system and the commissioning of multi-well pads on the Bear Den and Nesson systems.

Interstate transportation firm contracted capacity was 5.72 Bcf/d for second quarter2018, a decrease of 8 percent compared to 6.21 Bcf/d for second quarter2017. The decrease was primarily due to lower contracted firm transportation volumes between Carthage, Texas, and Perryville, Louisiana.

Intrastate transportation average deliveries were 1.88 TBtu/d for second quarter2018, an increase of 2 percent compared to 1.84 TBtu/d for second quarter2017. The increase was primarily related to increased supply in the Anadarko Basin.

SECOND QUARTER FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

Revenues were $805 million for second quarter2018, an increase of $179 million compared to $626 million for second quarter2017. Revenues are net of $113 million of intercompany eliminations for second quarter2018 and $117 million of intercompany eliminations for second quarter2017.

• Gathering and processing segment revenues were $641 million for second quarter2018, an increase of $161 million compared to $480 million for second quarter2017. The increase in gathering and processing segment revenues was primarily due to an increase in revenues from NGL sales resulting from higher average NGL prices, higher processed volumes and higher plant recoveries of ethane in the Anadarko and

3

Ark-La-Tex Basins, an increase in processing service revenues resulting from higher processed volumes primarily under fixed fee processing arrangements, an increase in natural gas gathering revenues due to higher fees and gathered volumes in the Anadarko and Ark-La-Tex Basins, and an increase in crude oil and water gathering revenues due to an increase in gathered volumes. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in revenues from changes in the fair value of natural gas, condensate and NGL derivatives and a decrease in natural gas sales primarily driven by a decrease due to the implementation of ASC 606, a newly effective revenue recognition standard.

• Transportation and storage segment revenues were $277 million for second quarter2018, an increase of $14 million compared to $263 million for second quarter2017. The increase in transportation and storage segment revenues was primarily due to an increase in revenues from natural gas sales associated with higher sales volumes, an increase in revenues from other firm contracted capacity due to new intrastate contracts, an increase from volume-dependent transportation revenues primarily due to an increase in commodity fees from new contracts and an increase in off-system transportation due to increases in volumes at higher rates. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in revenues from changes in the fair value of natural gas derivatives and a decrease in firm transportation services between Carthage, Texas, and Perryville, Louisiana, due to contract expirations in the second quarter of 2017.

Gross margin was $361 million for second quarter2018, an increase of $14 million compared to $347 million for second quarter2017.

• Gathering and processing segment gross margin was $230 million for second quarter2018, an increase of $19 million compared to $211 million for second quarter2017. The increase in gathering and processing segment gross margin was primarily due to an increase in processing service fees due to higher processed volumes in the Anadarko and Ark-La-Tex Basins, an increase in natural gas gathering fees due to increased gathered volumes in the Anadarko and Ark-La-Tex Basins, an increase in crude oil and water gathering fees as a result of an increase in gathered volumes, an increase in revenues from natural gas sales less the cost of natural gas primarily due to higher sales volumes, and an increase in revenues from NGL sales less the cost of NGLs resulting from higher average NGL prices and higher processed volumes in the Anadarko and Ark-La-Tex Basins. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in gross margin from changes in the fair value of natural gas, condensate and NGL derivatives.

• Transportation and storage segment gross margin was $130 million for second quarter2018, a decrease of $6 million compared to $136 million for second quarter2017. The decrease in transportation and storage segment gross margin was primarily due to a decrease in gross margin from changes in the fair value of natural gas derivatives and a decrease in firm transportation services between Carthage, Texas, and Perryville, Louisiana, due to contract expirations in the second quarter of 2017. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in other firm transportation and storage services due to new intrastate transportation contracts and an increase in volume-dependent transportation primarily due to an increase in commodity fees from new contracts and an increase in off-system transportation due to increases in volumes at higher rates.

Operation and maintenance and general and administrative expenses were $123 million for second quarter2018, an increase of $3 million compared to $120 million for second quarter2017. The increase in operation and maintenance and general and administrative expenses was primarily due to an increase in payroll-related costs, compressor rental expenses due to increased rental units and an increase in materials and supplies and contract

4

services costs as a result of additional assets in service. These increases were partially offset by an increase in capitalized overhead costs.

Depreciation and amortization expense was $96 million for second quarter2018, an increase of $7 million compared to $89 million for second quarter2017. The increase in depreciation and amortization expense was due to additional assets placed in service primarily as a result of the Align Midstream, LLC acquisition in the fourth quarter of 2017.

Taxes other than income tax were $16 million for second quarter2018 and 2017.

Interest expense was $36 million for second quarter2018, an increase of $5 million compared to $31 million for second quarter2017. The increase was primarily due to an increase in the amount of debt outstanding and higher interest rates on outstanding debt as a result of a long-term debt issuance in May 2018, the proceeds of which were used for the repayment of amounts outstanding under a 2015 term loan agreement and Enable's commercial paper program.

Enable’s net income attributable to limited partners and net income attributable to common units for second quarter2018 includes a $14 million loss on derivative activity, compared to a $9 million gain on derivative activity for second quarter2017, resulting in a decrease in net income of $23 million. The decrease of $23 million is comprised of a decrease related to the change in fair value of derivatives of $21 million and an increase in realized loss on derivatives of $2 million. Additional details on derivative instruments and hedging activities can be found in Enable’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2018.

Capital expenditures were $185 million for second quarter2018, compared to $87 million for second quarter2017. Expansion capital expenditures were $159 million for second quarter2018, compared to $70 million for second quarter2017. Maintenance capital expenditures were $26 million for second quarter2018 and $17 million for second quarter2017.

2018 OUTLOOK

Enable anticipates performance at or above the midpoint of the 2018 outlook issued May 2, 2018, for net income attributable to common units, Adjusted EBITDA and DCF.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

Enable has included the non-GAAP financial measures Gross margin, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted interest expense, DCF and distribution coverage ratio in this press release based on information in its condensed consolidated financial statements.

Gross margin, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted interest expense, DCF and distribution coverage ratio are supplemental financial measures that management and external users of Enable’s financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies may use, to assess:

• Enable’s operating performance as compared to those of other publicly traded partnerships in the midstream energy industry, without regard to capital structure or historical cost basis;

• The ability of Enable’s assets to generate sufficient cash flow to make distributions to its partners;

• Enable’s ability to incur and service debt and fund capital expenditures; and

6

Exhibit 99.1

• The viability of acquisitions and other capital expenditure projects and the returns on investment of various investment opportunities.

This press release includes a reconciliation of Gross margin to total revenues, Adjusted EBITDA and DCF to net income attributable to limited partners, Adjusted EBITDA to net cash provided by operating activities and Adjusted interest expense to interest expense, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures as applicable, for each of the periods indicated. Distribution coverage ratio is a financial performance measure used by management to reflect the relationship between Enable’s financial operating performance and cash distributions. Enable believes that the presentation of Gross margin, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted interest expense, DCF and distribution coverage ratio provides information useful to investors in assessing its financial condition and results of operations. Gross margin, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted interest expense, DCF and distribution coverage ratio should not be considered as alternatives to net income, operating income, total revenue, cash flow from operating activities or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP. Gross margin, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted interest expense, DCF and distribution coverage ratio have important limitations as analytical tools because they exclude some but not all items that affect the most directly comparable GAAP measures. Additionally, because Gross margin, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted interest expense, DCF and distribution coverage ratio may be defined differently by other companies in Enable’s industry, its definitions of these measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing their utility.
