CS Take on MLPs
Weekly Analysis
MLPs Swoon Again in May

MLPs Swoon Again in May: The AMZ is down 7.4% for May versus 1.9%
for the S&P 500. We do not see this correction as the start of a bear market
for MLPs as underlying trends still are constructive in our view. The bull case
would emphasize that distribution growth appears to be accelerating to 5%
from 2.6% in 2009 and 3.0% in 2010 and this, coupled with an average yield
of 6%, should equate to relatively attractive returns, especially given still
benign interest rates. The bear case would point to interest rates that may
be poised to rise as the Fed wraps up QE2 and inflation expectations creep
higher. A further concern may be the potential for high oil prices to dampen
demand and choke the economic recovery. And finally, the potential for tax
reform to negatively impact the status of MLPs – we again stress that we do
not view this as a likely event (See page 3).

Use Pullback to Accumulate MLPs with Visible Distribution Growth:
Our top picks are DPM, EPD, ETE, PAA and NGLS.

NGL Supply Chain to Benefit From Integrated Growth
Targa To Spend $250 Million On Propane Export Project
19 September 2011 ¦ 14 pages
citigroupgeo.com

Project Announcement — NGLS announced expansion of its marine terminal at
Galena Park, TX to provide export capability for 5,000+ bbl/hr of international grade
propane. The project also involves adding a propane de-ethanizer, additional salt dome
storage and refrigeration equipment at partnership's Mt. Belvieu complex to support the
propane export capability. The project is expected to be operational in Q3-2013.

Propane Supply/Demand Balance — About 470 Mbbl/d of new NGL fractionation
capacity is expected to come-on-line at Mt. Belvieu over the next couple of years
increasing propane supply in the region by up to 130 Mbbl/d. The additional propane
export capability would provide an outlet for this new supply bringing the
supply/demand gap closer and hence provide support to the Mt. Belvieu prices.

Positive For NGL Value Chain — In addition to NGLS & TRGP this project is also a
positive for producers & other midstream players with connectivity to Mt. Belvieu. In the
last few months, a number of new NGL pipeline and fractionation facilities have been
announced at Mt. Belvieu and utilization of these facilities should improve as a result of
propane export capability. Among our coverage APL, EEP, EPD, DPM & OKS should
benefit the most. They have either new investments tied to Belvieu or processing
assets that would have better connectivity to Belvieu as a result of these new facilities.

Reiterate Buy — We reiterate our 1H rating on NGLS as we view the partnership as
undervalued considering the growth opportunities such as the one announced today
and also better than average yield of 6.50%. Additionally, we reiterate our 1H rating on
TRGP, the GP of NGLS. We view TRGP as a leveraged play on NGLS well positioned
to provide 40% growth in the next 12 months.
