Exhibit 99.1.  Selected Financial Data
The historical financial information presented below for the Partnership and our predecessors, Regency LLC Predecessor and Regency Gas Services LP (formerly Regency Gas Services LLC), was derived from our audited consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2007, 2006, 2005, and 2004 and for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005, the one-month period ended December 31, 2004, the eleven-month period ended November 30, 2004, and the period from inception (April 2, 2003) to December 31, 2003.  See “Item 7 — Management’s Discussions and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — History of the Partnership and its Predecessor” for a discussion of why our results may not be comparable, either from period to period or going forward.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We include the following non-GAAP financial measures: EBITDA and total segment margin.  We provide reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable financial measures as calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.

We define EBITDA as net income plus interest expense, provision for income taxes and depreciation and amortization expense.  EBITDA is used as a supplemental measure by our management and by external users of our financial statements such as investors, commercial banks, research analysts and others, to assess:
·  
Financial performance of our assets without regard to financing methods, capital structure or historical cost basis;
·  
The ability of our assets to generate cash sufficient to pay interest costs, support our indebtedness and make cash available for distribution to our unit holders and General Partner;
·  
Our operating performance and return on capital as compared to those of other companies in the midstream energy sector, without regard to financing methods or capital structure; and
·  
The viability of acquisitions and capital expenditure projects and the overall rates of return on alternative investment opportunities.

EBITDA shouldn’t be considered an alternative to net income, operating income, cash flows from operating activities or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP.

EBITDA does not include interest expense, income taxes or depreciation and amortization expense.  Because we have borrowed money to finance our operations, interest expense is a necessary element of our costs and our ability to generate cash available for distribution.  Because we use capital assets, depreciation and amortization are also necessary elements of our costs.  Therefore, any measures that exclude these elements have material limitations.  To compensate for these limitations, we believe that it is important to consider both net earnings determined under GAAP, as well as EBITDA, to evaluate our performance.

We define total segment margin as total revenues, including service fees, less cost of gas and liquids.  Total segment margin is included as a supplemental disclosure because it is a primary performance measure used by our management as it represents the results of product sales, service fee revenues and product purchases, a key component of our operations.  We believe total segment margin is an important measure because it is directly related to our volumes and commodity price changes.  Operation and maintenance expense is a separate measure used by management to evaluate operating performance of field operations.  Direct labor, insurance, property taxes, repair and maintenance, utilities and contract services comprise the most significant portion of our operation and maintenance expenses.  These expenses are largely independent of the volumes we transport or process and fluctuate depending on the activities performed during a specific period.  We do not deduct operation and maintenance expenses from total revenues in calculating total segment margin because we separately evaluate commodity volume and price changes in total segment margin.  As an indicator of our operating performance, total segment margin should not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income as determined in accordance with GAAP.  Our total segment margin may not be comparable to a similarly titled measure of another company because other entities may not calculate total segment margin in the same manner.
