On October 17, 2012, Targa Resources Corp. (the “Company”) and Targa Resources Partners LP (the “Partnership”) issued a press release disclosing the Partnership’s preliminary estimated results for the third quarter of 2012, forecasts of the Partnership’s financial results for the fourth quarter of 2012 and the calendar years 2013 and 2014, and a financial update by the Company.
The press release furnished as Exhibit 99.1 hereto, includes the non-generally accepted accounting principle, or non-GAAP, financial measure Adjusted EBITDA. The press release provides reconciliations of this non-GAAP financial measure to its most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) as well as other disclosures about this non-GAAP measure. Our non-GAAP financial measure of Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to the GAAP measure of net income.
The information furnished pursuant to this Item 2.02, including Exhibit 99.1, shall not be deemed to be “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and will not be incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, unless specifically identified therein as being incorporated therein by reference.
