For the first six months of 2003, net income increased to $73.6 million, or $0.32 per unit on a fully diluted basis, versus net income for the first six months of 2002 of $5.1 million, or $0.01 per unit.

Distributable Cash Flow for the second quarter of 2003 increased to $64.2 million from $38.1 million in the second quarter of 2002. Distributable Cash Flow provided 0.8 times coverage of the quarterly cash distribution rate of $0.3625 per unit declared de·clare

Had the 10.0 million special units been eligible to participate in the cash distribution during this period, Distributable Cash Flow would have also provided 0.8 times coverage of the distribution on all units. Both the subordinated and special units will convert to common units on Aug. 1, 2003.

For the first six months of 2003, Distributable Cash Flow increased to $158.4 million, which provided 1.0 times coverage of the cash distributions declared on common and subordinated units and also on a fully diluted basis including the special units. Distributable Cash Flow for the first six months of 2002 was $75.9 million.

"While our partnership reported increases in many financial measures for the second quarter, it was clearly a disappointing quarter that did not meet our expectations," said O.S. "Dub" Andras Andras

Pipelines - Gross operating margin from the Pipeline segment increased to $72.0 million for the second quarter compared to $32.2 million for the second quarter of 2002. Net Pipeline volumes for the second quarter increased 86% to 1,567,000 equivalent barrels per day Barrels per day (abbreviated BPD, bbl/d, bpd, bd or b/d) is a measurement used to describe the amount of crude oil (measured in barrels) produced or consumed by an entity in one day.  ("BPDE BPDE Benzo A-Pyrene-Diol-Epoxide ") from 841,000 BPDE for the same period in 2002.

The increase in Pipeline gross operating margin and volume was primarily attributable attributable

 to the acquisition of the Mid-America and Seminole Seminole, Native North Americans whose language belongs to the Muskogean branch of the Hokan-Siouan linguistic stock (see Native American languages). They separated (their name means "separatist") from the Creek in the early 18th cent.  pipeline systems on July 31, 2002. These pipelines earned gross operating margin of $39.9 million on volumes of 759,000 barrels per day ("BPD") in the second quarter of 2003. Volumes and margin for the second quarter were less than normal due to weak demand for NGLs and poor processing economics for a majority of the quarter, which caused natural gas processing plants in the Rocky Mountains to reduce the amount of NGLs extracted. This resulted in lower transportation volumes on both the Mid-America and Seminole pipeline systems. Net volumes on the two pipelines for the second quarter of 2003 were approximately 92,000 BPD, or 11%, below their historical second quarter of 2002.

Excluding volumes associated with the Mid-America and Seminole pipelines, NGL and petrochemical pipeline volumes for the second quarter of 2003 increased by 7%, or 37,000 BPD, versus the same period in 2002. Contributing to the increase in volumes and margin were greater volumes of NGLs imported through the partnership's terminal on the Houston Ship Channel The Houston Ship Channel in Houston, Texas is part of the Port of Houston—one of the United States's busiest sea ports. The channel is a conduit between the continental interior and the Gulf of Mexico for both petrochemical products and Midwestern grain.  and the Channel Pipeline system and an increase in volumes on the Lou-Tex Propylene and Lou-Tex NGL pipelines.

NGL fractionation volumes decreased by approximately 36,000 BPD to 201,000 BPD due to weak demand for NGLs and poor processing economics that reduced the amount of NGLs extracted from natural gas and available for fractionation. The effect of the decrease in volumes on gross operating margin was more than offset by gains from the periodic measurement of mixed NGLs in storage pending fractionation and from higher in-kind in-kind

 fees at the Norco fractionator.

The butane isomerization business benefited from an increase in fees that more than offset the effect of a decrease in volumes. Butane isomerization volumes were 82,000 BPD in the second quarter of 2003 compared to 86,000 BPD in the same quarter of 2002.

During the second quarter of 2003, gross operating margin from the propylene fractionation business was $3.7 million lower than the second quarter of 2002 due to abnormally ab·nor·mal  
adj.
Not typical, usual, or regular; not normal; deviant.

 weak demand for polymer-grade propylene by the petrochemical industry and lower unit margins on spot market fractionation arrangements. Propylene fractionation volumes for the second quarters of both 2003 and 2002 were 58,000 BPD.

Processing - The Processing segment recorded gross operating margin of $2.7 million for the second quarter of 2003 compared to a loss of $1.2 million for the second quarter of 2002. Gross operating margin in 2002 included a $5.8 million charge for losses related to hedging activities, which were discontinued dis·con·tin·ue

During the second quarter of 2003, weak demand for NGLs and unfavorable gas processing economics reduced equity NGL production from 74,000 BPD in the second quarter of 2002 to 47,000 BPD in the second quarter of 2003. At full extraction extraction /ex·trac·tion/ (eks-trak´shun)

 rates, equity NGL production would have been approximately 75,000 BPD.

"Thus far in the third quarter, we have seen a modest recovery in processing economics on the Gulf Coast, which has resulted in higher NGL extraction rates at some of our plants," said Andras.

Octane oc·tane  
n.
1. Any of various isomeric paraffin hydrocarbons with the formula C8H18, found in petroleum and used as a fuel and solvent.

2. An octane number.

 for motor gasoline gasoline or petrol, light, volatile mixture of hydrocarbons for use in the internal-combustion engine and as an organic solvent, obtained primarily by fractional distillation and "cracking" of petroleum, but also obtained from natural gas, by . Gross operating margin for this segment for the second quarter of 2003 was a loss of $3.2 million compared to a profit of $2.9 million for the same period in 2002. Net volumes for this segment were 3,000 BPD versus 6,000 BPD for the second quarter of 2002. The decrease in margin and volumes for the second quarter of 2003 were primarily attributable to a decrease in domestic demand for the additive due to the phase-out Noun 1. phase-out - the act or instance of a planned discontinuation
discontinuance, discontinuation - the act of discontinuing or breaking off; an interruption (temporary or permanent)
 of MTBE from the motor gasoline pool in California California (kăl'ĭfôr`nyə), most populous state in the United States, located in the Far West; bordered by Oregon (N), Nevada and, across the Colorado River, Arizona (E), Mexico (S), and the Pacific Ocean (W).  and soft demand for reformulated motor gasoline in general.

"We are beginning to see the first signs of the long-expected phase-out of MTBE for which we have been planning since California first announced its intentions of replacing MTBE with ethanol ethanol (ĕth`ənōl') or ethyl alcohol, CH3CH2OH, a colorless liquid with characteristic odor and taste; commonly called grain alcohol or simply alcohol.  in March 1999.

 or iso-octane. We believe these high-octane additives will be needed in greater demand by the motor gasoline industry to offset the deficiencies of ethanol in gasoline," stated Andras.

"We will continue to produce MTBE when it is economical for the partnership to do so. While we do not expect the margins for this business to be as good as they were in 2002 and 2001, we believe there will be future opportunities to generate cash from this business," continued Andras.

Gross operating margin represents operating income before depreciation, amortization, lease expense for which Enterprise does not have the payment obligation, general and administrative expenses and gain or loss on sale of assets. Enterprise's equity earnings from unconsolidated affiliates are included in gross margin. Pipeline volumes expressed in terms of BPDE are on an energy equivalent basis where 3.8 MMBtu of natural gas is equivalent to one barrel of NGLs. We have reconciled rec·on·cile

An operating lease is not capitalized it is accounted for as a rental expense.
 expenses for which the partnership does not have the payment obligation; (3) the addition of actual cash distributions received from unconsolidated affiliates less the related equity in income from unconsolidated affiliates; (4) other miscellaneous non-cash adjustments such as the addition of decreases or the subtraction subtraction, fundamental operation of arithmetic; the inverse of addition. If a and b are real numbers (see number), then the number ab is that number (called the difference) which when added to b (the subtractor) equals  of increases in the value of financial instruments related to hedging activities; and (5) the subtraction of sustaining capital expenditures. Distributable cash flow is before reserves established for the purpose of funding future expansion or sustaining capital expenditures; debt reduction and cash distributions to the limited partners and general partner. We have reconciled distributable cash flow (a non-GAAP liquidity measure) to cash flow from operating activities.
