Overview: Expansion project of ~550 MMcf/d; fully contracted with 10-year firm agreements, primarily with electric generation and

industrial customers Total capex of ~$300 million: install compression on Gulf South near interconnect with Petal Gas Storage (Petal) pipeline

facilities and at proposed new interconnect with Petal, as well as construct a new 70-mile pipeline in southeastern MS and AL Proposed in-service date of Q4-2014, subject to FERC approval Increases Boardwalk’s ability to transport natural gas supplies to growing areas of demand in the southeast region of the

United States, including industrial and power generation markets in MS, AL and FL Utilizes capacity from expiring contracts on Gulf South’s existing 42” pipeline that originates in East Texas and extends

eastward through Perryville, LA, including the Perryville Exchange, to an interconnect with Petal in Jasper County, MS Made possible by Petal acquisition

Proposed Bluegrass Pipeline: Project Overview

Utica and Marcellus

NGLs

Petchem complex, storage, exports

Segment 1Construct a new NGL

pipeline from producing areas in

OH, WV and PA to an interconnect with

Texas Gas near Hardinsburg, KY

Segment 2Convert a portion of Texas Gas Transmission from

Hardinsburg, KY to Eunice, LA (“TGT Loop Line”) from natural gas service to NGL service

Segment 3Construct a new large-scale fractionation plant and expand NGL storage facilities in LA; construct a new

pipeline connecting these facilities to the converted TGT Loop Line

Proposed Boardwalk and Williams Joint Venture

• Transport of up to 400,000 barrels per day capacity of mixed NGLs

• Expect strategic combination to drive expedited late 2015 in-service and competitive tariffs

Proposed Bluegrass Pipeline: Project Highlights

Expanding Footprint & Scale

Repurposing Existing Asset

Strong Partner

Cost & TimeAdvantage

• Further diversification within the midstream energy sector

• Leverages our recently acquired liquids infrastructure that provides a critical footprint for Bluegrass’ downstream fractionation and storage portion

• Project allows us to repurpose a portion of our Texas Gas Transmission system

• Allows us to maintain the quality of service that we provide our firm natural gas transportation customers

• Williams has a significant presence and experience as a gatherer and processor in the Marcellus and Utica shale basins

• Williams also has presence in the petrochemical industry in Louisiana

• Less costly than alternatives that would involve all new construction

• Potential to be placed into service in late 2015

Project Status

• Announced with Williams on March 6 we are pursuing joint development of NGL pipeline, the Bluegrass Pipeline

• Conducting cost assessments, due diligence, etc.

• Negotiating JV and related agreements with Williams

• Conditions for project to be approved include completing JV agreements, securing customer contracts and obtaining regulatory and board approvals

Annual EBITDA Reconciliation

26

Non-GAAP Financial Measure

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) is used as a supplemental financial measure by Boardwalk's management and by external users of Boardwalk's financial statements, such as investors, commercial banks, research analysts and rating agencies, to assess Boardwalk’s operating and financial performance, ability to generate cash and return on invested capital as compared to those of other companies in the natural gas transportation, gathering and storage business. EBITDA should not be considered an alternative to net income, operating income, cash flow from operating activities or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). EBITDA is not necessarily comparable to a similarly titled measure of another company. The following table presents a reconciliation of Boardwalk’s EBITDA to net income, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, for each of the periods presented below.
