FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain statements and information in this presentation may constitute forward-looking statements. The words “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “intend,” foresee,” “should,”

“would,” “could,” or similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, which are generally not historical in nature. These forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effect on us. While management believes that these forward-looking statements are reasonable as and when made, there can be no assurance that future developments affecting us will be those that we anticipate. All comments concerning our expectations for future revenues and operating results are based on our forecasts for our existing operations and do not include the potential impact of any future acquisitions. Our forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties (some of which are beyond our control) and assumptions that could cause actual results to differ materially from our historical experience and our present expectations or projections. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, those summarized below: dependence on Chesapeake Energy Corporation, Total E&P USA, Inc., Mitsui & Co., Anadarko Petroleum Corporation and Statoil for a majority of our revenues; the impact on our growth strategy and ability to increase cash distributions if producers do not increase the volume of natural gas they provide to our gathering systems; oil and natural gas realized prices; the termination of our gas gathering agreements; the availability, terms and effects of acquisitions; our potential inability to maintain existing distribution amounts or pay the minimum quarterly distribution to our unitholders; the limitations that our level of indebtedness may have on our financial flexibility; our ability to obtain new sources of natural gas, which is dependent on factors largely beyond our control; the availability of capital resources to fund capital expenditures and other contractual obligations, and our ability to access those resources through the debt or equity capital markets; competitive conditions; the unavailability of third-party pipelines interconnected to our gathering systems or the potential that the volumes we gather do not meet the quality requirement of such pipelines; new asset construction may not result in revenue increases and will be subject to regulatory, environmental, political, legal and economic risks; our exposure to direct commodity price risk may increase in the future; our ability to maintain and/or obtain rights to operate our assets on land owned by third parties; hazards and operational risks that may not be fully covered by insurance; our dependence on Exterran Partners, L.P. for a significant portion of our compression capacity; our lack of industry diversification; and legislative or regulatory changes, including changes in environmental regulations, environmental risks, regulations by FERC and liability under federal and state environmental laws and regulations.

Other factors that could cause our actual results to differ from our projected results are described in our 2013 Form 10-K and our other SEC filings. Individuals are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements after the date they are made, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

WMB Non-GAAP Disclaimer

This presentation includes certain financial measuresadjusted segment profit, adjusted segment profit + DD&A, adjusted income from continuing operations (“earnings”) and adjusted earnings per sharethat are non-GAAP financial measures as defined under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Adjusted segment profit, adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings per share measures exclude items of income or loss that the company characterizes as unrepresentative of its ongoing operations and may include assumed business interruption insurance related to the Geismar plant. Management believes these measures provide investors meaningful insight into the company’s results from ongoing operations.

This presentation is accompanied by a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their nearest GAAP financial measures. Management uses these financial measures because they are widely accepted financial indicators used by investors to compare a company’s performance. In addition, management believes that these measures provide investors an enhanced perspective of the operating performance of the company and aid investor understanding. Neither adjusted segment profit, adjusted segment profit + DD&A, adjusted earnings nor adjusted earnings per share measures are intended to represent an alternative to segment profit, net income or earnings per share. They should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for a measure of performance prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles.

WPZ Non-GAAP Reconciliations

WPZ Non-GAAP Disclaimer

This presentation includes certain financial measures, adjusted segment profit, adjusted segment profit + DD&A, distributable cash flow, and cash distribution coverage ratio that are non-GAAP financial measures as defined under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

For Williams Partners L.P., adjusted segment profit excludes items of income or loss that we characterize as unrepresentative of our ongoing operations and may include assumed business interruption insurance related to the Geismar plant. Adjusted segment profit + DD&A is further adjusted to add back depreciation and amortization expense. Management believes these measures provide investors meaningful insight into Williams Partners L.P.‘s results from ongoing operations.

For Williams Partners L.P. we define distributable cash flow as net income plus depreciation and amortization and cash distributions from our equity investments less our earnings from equity investments, income attributable to noncontrolling interests and maintenance capital expenditures. We also adjust for reimbursements under omnibus agreements with Williams and certain other adjustments. Total distributable cash flow is reduced by any amounts associated with operations which occurred prior to our ownership of the underlying assets to arrive at distributable cash flow attributable to partnership operations.

For Williams Partners L.P. we also calculate the ratio of distributable cash flow attributable to partnership operations to the total cash distributed (cash distribution coverage ratio). This measure reflects the amount of distributable cash flow relative to our cash distribution. We have also provided this ratio calculated using the most directly comparable GAAP measure, net income.

This presentation is accompanied by a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their nearest GAAP financial measures. Management uses these financial measures because they are accepted financial indicators used by investors to compare company performance. In addition, management believes that these measures provide investors an enhanced perspective of the operating performance of the Partnership’s assets and the cash that the business is generating. Neither adjusted segment profit, adjusted segment profit + DD&A, nor distributable cash flow are intended to represent cash flows for the period, nor are they presented as an alternative to net income or cash flow from operations. They should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for a measure of performance prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles.
