ENABLE MIDSTREAM PARTNERS, LP

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED COMBINED AND CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Organization

Enable Midstream Partners, LP (Partnership) is a Delaware limited partnership formed on May 1, 2013 by CenterPoint Energy, Inc. (CenterPoint Energy), OGE Energy Corp. (OGE Energy) and affiliates of ArcLight Capital Partners, LLC (ArcLight), pursuant to the terms of the MFA. The Partnership is a large-scale, growth-oriented limited partnership formed to own, operate and develop strategically located natural gas and crude oil infrastructure assets. The Partnership’s assets and operations are organized into two business segments: (i) Gathering and Processing, which primarily provides natural gas gathering, processing and fractionation services and crude oil gathering for our producer customers, and (ii) Transportation and Storage, which provides interstate and intrastate natural gas pipeline transportation and storage service primarily to natural gas producers, utilities and industrial customers. The natural gas gathering and processing assets are strategically located in four states and serve natural gas production in the Anadarko, Arkoma and Ark-La-Tex basins. This segment also includes an emerging crude oil gathering business in the Bakken shale formation, principally located in the Williston basin. The natural gas transportation and storage assets extend from western Oklahoma and the Texas Panhandle to Alabama and from Louisiana to Illinois.

The Partnership is controlled equally by CenterPoint Energy and OGE Energy, who each have 50% of the management rights of Enable GP. Enable GP was established by CenterPoint Energy and OGE Energy to govern the Partnership and has no other operating activities. Enable GP is governed by a board made up of an equal number of representatives designated by each of CenterPoint Energy and OGE Energy, along with the Partnership's Chief Executive Officer and the independent board members CenterPoint Energy and OGE Energy mutually agreed to appoint. Based on the 50/50 management ownership, with neither company having control, effective May 1, 2013, CenterPoint Energy and OGE Energy deconsolidated their interests in the Partnership and Enogex, respectively. CenterPoint Energy and OGE Energy also own a 40% and 60% interest, respectively, in the incentive distribution rights held by Enable GP.

At June 30, 2014, CenterPoint Energy held approximately 55.4% of the limited partner interests in the Partnership, or 94,126,366 common units and 139,704,916 subordinated units, and OGE Energy held approximately 26.3% of the limited partner interests in the Partnership, or 42,832,291 common units and 68,150,514 subordinated units. The limited partner interests of the Partnership have limited voting rights on matters affecting the business. As such, limited partners do not have rights to elect the Partnership’s General Partner (Enable GP) on an annual or continuing basis and may not remove Enable GP without at least a 75% vote by all unitholders, including all units held by the Partnership’s limited partners, and Enable GP and its affiliates, voting together as a single class.

Upon conversion to a limited partnership on May 1, 2013, the Partnership’s earnings are generally no longer subject to income tax (other than Texas state margin taxes and taxes associated with the Partnership's corporate subsidiary) and are taxable at the individual partner level. As a result of the conversion to a partnership immediately prior to formation, CenterPoint Energy assumed all outstanding current income tax liabilities and the Partnership derecognized the deferred income tax assets and liabilities by recording an income tax benefit of $1.24 billion. Consequently, the Combined and Consolidated Statements of Income do not include an income tax provision on income earned on or after May 1, 2013 (other than Texas state margin taxes and taxes associated with the Partnership's corporate subsidiary). See Note 13 for further discussion of the Partnership’s income taxes.

Prior to May 1, 2013, the financial statements of the Partnership include EGT, MRT and the non-rate regulated natural gas gathering, processing and treating operations, which were under common control by CenterPoint Energy, and a 50% interest in SESH. Through the Partnership's formation on May 1, 2013, CenterPoint Energy retained certain assets and liabilities and related balances in accumulated other comprehensive loss, historically held by the Partnership, such as certain notes payable—affiliated companies to CenterPoint Energy and benefit plan obligations. Additionally, the Partnership distributed a 25.05% interest in SESH to CenterPoint Energy, subject to future acquisition by the Partnership through put and call options discussed in Note 7. On May 1, 2013, OGE Energy and ArcLight indirectly contributed 100% of the equity interests in Enogex to the Partnership in exchange for limited partner interests and, for OGE Energy only, interests in Enable GP. The Partnership concluded that the Partnership formation on May 1, 2013 was considered a business combination, and for accounting purposes, the Partnership was the acquirer of Enogex. Subsequent to May 1, 2013, the financial statements of the Partnership are consolidated to reflect the acquisition of Enogex. See Note 3 for further discussion of the acquisition of Enogex. For the period from May 1, 2013 through May 29, 2014, the financial statements reflect a 24.95% interest in SESH. For the period of May 30, 2014 through June 30, 2014, the financial statements reflect a 49.90% interest in SESH. See Note 7 for further discussion of SESH.

Table of Contents

In addition, at June 30, 2014, as a result of the acquisition of Enogex on May 1, 2013, the Partnership held a 50% ownership interest in Atoka Midstream LLC (Atoka). At June 30, 2014, the Partnership consolidated Atoka in its Condensed Combined and Consolidated Financial Statements as Enable Oklahoma acted as the managing member of Atoka and had control over the operations of Atoka.

On April 16, 2014, the Partnership completed the Offering of 25,000,000 common units, representing limited partner interests in the Partnership, at a price to the public of $20.00 per common unit. The Partnership received net proceeds of $464 million from the sale of the common units, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions, the structuring fee and offering expenses. In connection with the Offering, underwriters exercised their option to purchase 3,750,000 additional common units, which were fulfilled with units held by ArcLight. As a result, the Partnership did not receive any proceeds from the sale of common units pursuant to the exercise of the underwriters' option to purchase additional common units. The exercise of the underwriters' option to purchase additional common units did not affect the total number of units outstanding or the amount of cash needed to pay the minimum quarterly distribution on all outstanding units. The Partnership retained the net proceeds of the Offering for general partnership purposes, including the funding of expansion capital expenditures, and to pre-fund demand fees expected to be incurred over the next three years relating to certain expiring transportation and storage contracts. In connection with the Offering, 139,704,916 of CenterPoint Energy's common units and 68,150,514 of OGE Energy's common units were converted into subordinated units.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed combined and consolidated financial statements and related notes of the Partnership have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC and GAAP. Pursuant to such rules and regulations, certain disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted. The accompanying condensed combined and consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the combined and consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Prospectus.

For accounting and financial reporting purposes, (i) the formation of the Partnership is considered a contribution of real estate by CenterPoint Energy and is reflected at CenterPoint Energy’s historical cost as of May 1, 2013 and (ii) the Partnership acquired Enogex on May 1, 2013.

The condensed combined and consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 have been prepared from the historical accounting records maintained by CenterPoint Energy for the Partnership until May 1, 2013 and may not necessarily be indicative of the condition that would have existed or the results of operations if the Partnership had been operated as a separate and unaffiliated entity. All of the Partnership’s historical combined entities were under common control and management for the periods presented until May 1, 2013, and all intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in combination and consolidation, as applicable. Beginning on May 1, 2013, the Partnership consolidated Enogex and all previously combined entities of the Partnership.

These condensed combined and consolidated financial statements and the related financial statement disclosures reflect all normal recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of operations for the respective periods. Amounts reported in the Partnership’s Condensed Combined and Consolidated Statements of Income are not necessarily indicative of amounts expected for a full-year period due to the effects of, among other things, (a) seasonal fluctuations in demand for energy and energy services, (b) changes in energy commodity prices, (c) timing of maintenance and other expenditures and (d) acquisitions and dispositions of businesses, assets and other interests.

For a description of the Partnership’s reportable business segments, see Note 15.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Reverse Unit Split

On March 25, 2014, the Partnership effected a 1 for 1.279082616 reverse unit split. All unit and per unit amounts presented within the condensed combined and consolidated financial statements reflect the effects of the reverse unit split.

Second Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of Enable Midstream Partners, LP

On April 16, 2014, in connection with the closing of the Offering of the Partnership, the Partnership amended and restated its First Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership to remove certain provisions that expired upon completion of the Offering. Following the Offering, ArcLight no longer has protective approval rights over certain material activities of the Partnership, including material increases in capital expenditures and certain equity issuances, entering into transactions with related parties and acquiring, pledging or disposing of certain material assets.

(2) New Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers," which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in "Revenue Recognition (Topic 605)," and requires entities to recognize revenue in a way that depicts the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016, and is to be applied retrospectively, with early application not permitted. The Partnership is currently evaluating the new standard.

(3) Acquisition of Enogex

Under the acquisition method, the fair value of the consideration transferred by the Partnership to OGE Energy and ArcLight for the contribution of Enogex in exchange for interest in the Partnership was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed on May 1, 2013 based on their estimated fair value. Enogex’s assets, liabilities and equity are recorded at their estimated fair value as of May 1, 2013, and beginning on May 1, 2013, the Partnership consolidated Enogex.

On May 1, 2013, in accordance with the MFA, CenterPoint Energy, OGE Energy, and ArcLight received 227,508,825 common units, 110,982,805 common units, and 51,527,730 common units, respectively, representing limited partner interests in the Partnership. The fair value of consideration transferred to OGE Energy and ArcLight in exchange for the contribution of Enogex consists of the fair value of the limited and, for OGE Energy only, general partner interests. The Partnership utilized the market approach to estimate the fair value of the limited partner interests, general partner interests and Atoka, also giving consideration to alternative methods such as the income and cost approaches as it relates to the underlying assets and liabilities. The primary inputs for the market valuation were the historical and current year forecasted cash flows and market multiple. The primary inputs for the income approach were forecasted cash flows and the discount rate. The primary inputs for the cost approach were costs for similar assets and ages of the assets. All fair value measurements of assets acquired and liabilities assumed were based on a combination of inputs that were not observable in the market and thus represented Level 3 inputs.

The Partnership incurred no acquisition related costs in the Condensed Combined and Consolidated Statement of Income based upon the terms in the MFA.

The following table summarizes the amounts recognized by the Partnership for the estimated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed for the acquisition of the 100% interest in Enogex as of May 1, 2013 and is reconciled to the consideration transferred by the Partnership:

The pro forma information is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that would have occurred had the transactions been made at the beginning of the periods presented or the future results of the consolidated operations.

(4) Earnings Per Limited Partner Unit

Limited partners’ interest in net income attributable to the Partnership and basic and diluted earnings per unit reflect net income attributable to the Partnership for periods subsequent to its formation as a limited partnership on May 1, 2013, as no limited partner units were outstanding prior to this date.

Basic and diluted earnings per limited partner unit is calculated by dividing the limited partners’ interest in net income by the weighted average number of limited partner units outstanding during the period. Any common units issued during the period are included on a weighted average basis for the days in which they were outstanding. The dilutive effect of unit-based awards, as discussed in Note 14, was less than $0.01 per unit during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014.

The following table illustrates the Partnership’s calculation of earnings per unit for common and subordinated limited partner units (in millions, except per-unit information):

(5) Enable Midstream Partners, LP Parent Net Equity and Partners’ Capital

Prior to May 1, 2013, Enable Midstream Partners, LP Parent Net Equity represents the investment of CenterPoint Energy in the Partnership. On April 30, 2013, immediately prior to formation of the limited partnership, while under common control, CenterPoint Energy completed equity transactions with the Partnership, whereby CenterPoint Energy made a cash contribution to the Partnership and retained certain assets and liabilities previously held by the Partnership, all of which were deemed to be transfers of net assets not constituting a transfer of a business, as follows:

Effective May 1, 2013, Enable Midstream Partners, LP Partners’ Capital on the Consolidated Balance Sheet represents the net amount of capital, accumulated net income, contributions and distributions affecting the investments of CenterPoint Energy, OGE Energy, and ArcLight in the Partnership. On February 14, 2014 and May 14, 2014, the Partnership distributed $114 million and $155 million to the unitholders of record as of January 1, 2014 and April 1, 2014, respectively.

The partnership agreement requires that, within 45 days subsequent to the end of each quarter, the Partnership distribute all of its available cash (as defined in the partnership agreement) to unitholders of record on the applicable record date. The Partnership will not make distributions for the period that began on April 1, 2014 and ended on April 15, 2014, the day prior to the closing of the Offering, other than the required distributions to CenterPoint Energy, OGE Energy, and ArcLight under the First Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership. See Note 16 to the unaudited condensed combined and consolidated financial statements, concerning distributions declared on July 25, 2014, for the three month period ended June 30, 2014.

General Partner Interest and Incentive Distribution Rights

Enable GP owns a non-economic general partner interest in the Partnership and thus will not be entitled to distributions that the Partnership makes prior to the liquidation of the Partnership in respect of such general partner interest. Enable GP currently holds incentive distribution rights that entitle it to receive increasing percentages, up to a maximum of 50.0%, of the cash the Partnership distributes from operating surplus (as defined in the Prospectus) in excess of $0.330625 per unit per quarter. The maximum distribution of 50.0% does not include any distributions that Enable GP or its affiliates may receive on common units or subordinated units that they own.

Subordinated Units

All subordinated units are held by CenterPoint Energy and OGE Energy. These units are considered subordinated because during the subordination period (as defined in the Prospectus), the common units will have the right to receive distributions of available cash from operating surplus each quarter in an amount equal to $0.2875 per common unit, which amount is defined in the partnership agreement as the minimum quarterly distribution, plus any arrearages in the payment of the minimum quarterly distribution on the common units from prior quarters, before any distributions of available cash from operating surplus may be made on the subordinated units. These units are deemed “subordinated” because for a period of time, referred to as the subordination period, the subordinated units will not be entitled to receive any distributions until the common units have received the minimum quarterly distribution plus any arrearages from prior quarters. Furthermore, no arrearages will be paid on the subordinated units.

Subordination Period

The subordination period began on the closing date of the Offering and will extend until the first business day following the distributions of available cash from operating surplus (as defined in the Prospectus) on each of the outstanding common units and subordinated units equal to or exceeding $1.15 per unit (the annualized minimum quarterly distribution) for each of the three consecutive, non-overlapping four-quarter periods immediately preceding June 30, 2017. Also, if the Partnership has paid distributions of available cash from operating surplus on each of the outstanding common units and subordinated units equal to or exceeding $1.725 per unit (150 percent of the annualized minimum quarterly distribution) and the related distribution on the

Table of Contents

incentive distribution rights, for any four-consecutive-quarter period ending on or after June 30, 2015, the subordination period will terminate.

(6) Intangible Assets, Net

Prior to May 1, 2013, the Partnership did not have any intangible assets. The Partnership recorded $401 million in intangible assets associated with customer relationships due to the acquisition of Enogex.

The Partnership determined that intangible assets related to customer relationships have a weighted average useful life of 15 years as of May 1, 2013. Intangible assets do not have any significant residual value or renewal options of existing terms. There are no intangible assets with indefinite useful lives.

The Partnership recorded amortization expense of $6 million and $4 million during the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $13 million and $4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

(7) Investments in Equity Method Affiliates

The Partnership uses the equity method of accounting for investments in entities in which it has an ownership interest between 20% and 50% and exercises significant influence. Until May 1, 2013, the Partnership held a 50% investment in SESH, a 286-mile interstate natural gas pipeline, which was accounted for as an investment in equity method affiliates. On May 1, 2013, the Partnership distributed a 25.05% interest in SESH to CenterPoint Energy, retaining a 24.95% interest in SESH.

For the period May 1, 2013 through May 29, 2014, CenterPoint Energy indirectly owned a 25.05% interest in SESH. Pursuant to the MFA, that interest could be contributed to the Partnership upon exercise of certain put or call rights, under which CenterPoint Energy would contribute to the Partnership CenterPoint Energy’s retained interest in SESH at a price equal to the fair market value of such interest at the time the put right or call right is exercised. On May 13, 2014, CenterPoint Energy exercised its put right with respect to a 24.95% interest in SESH. Pursuant to the put right, on May 30, 2014, CenterPoint Energy contributed a 24.95% interest in SESH to the Partnership in exchange for 6,322,457 common units representing limited partner interests in the Partnership, which had a fair value of $161 million based upon the closing market price of the Partnership's common units. If CenterPoint Energy were to exercise its remaining put right or the Partnership were to exercise its remaining call right (which may be no earlier than June 2015), CenterPoint Energy’s retained interest in SESH would be contributed to the Partnership in exchange for consideration consisting of 25,341 limited partner units for a 0.1% interest in SESH and, subject to certain restrictions, a cash payment, payable either from CenterPoint Energy to the Partnership or from the Partnership to CenterPoint Energy, in an amount such that the total consideration exchanged is equal in value to the fair market value of the contributed interest in SESH, subject to adjustment for accretion and dilution events. Affiliates of Spectra Energy Corp own the remaining 50% interest in SESH. As of June 30, 2014, the Partnership owns a 49.90% interest in SESH.

On June 13, 2014, SESH made a special distribution of the proceeds of its $400 million senior note issuance, less debt issuance costs, which resulted in a $198 million distribution to the Partnership, reducing the book value of Enable's 49.90% investment in SESH to $162 million. Enable and the other members of SESH intend to contribute or otherwise return this distribution to SESH as necessary for repayment of SESH’s $375 million senior notes due August 2014 or for general SESH purposes, including capital expenditures associated with SESH’s expansion plans.

In connection with CenterPoint Energy's exercise of its put right with respect to its 24.95% interest in SESH, the parties agreed to allocate the distributions for the second quarter on (i) the SESH interest acquired by Enable and (ii) the Enable units issued to CenterPoint Energy for the SESH interest pro rata based on the time each party held the relevant interest. On July 25, 2014, the Partnership received a $7 million distribution from SESH for the three month period ended June 30, 2014, representing the Partnership's 49.90% interest in SESH. Under the terms of the agreement, the Partnership will make a payment of approximately $1 million to CenterPoint Energy related to the additional 24.95% interest during the quarter ending September 30, 2014.

(8) Debt

On May 27, 2014, the Partnership completed the private offering of $500 million 2.400% senior notes due 2019 (2019 Notes), $600 million 3.900% senior notes due 2024 (2024 Notes) and $550 million 5.000% senior notes due 2044 (2044 Notes), with registration rights. The Partnership received aggregate proceeds of $1.63 billion. Certain of the proceeds were used to repay the $1.05 billion senior unsecured term loan facility (Term Loan Facility), and certain of the proceeds were used to repay the Enable Oklahoma $250 million variable rate term loan and the Enable Oklahoma $200 million 6.875% senior notes due July 15, 2014, and for general corporate purposes. See Note 16 for discussion of the repayment of the Enable Oklahoma $200 million 6.875% senior notes. A wholly owned subsidiary of CenterPoint Energy has guaranteed collection of the Partnership’s obligations under the 2019 Notes and 2024 Notes, on an unsecured subordinated basis, subject to automatic release on May 1, 2016.

The Partnership also has a $1.4 billion senior unsecured revolving credit facility (Revolving Credit Facility) that is scheduled to expire on May 1, 2018. As of June 30, 2014, there were no principal advances and $2 million in letters of credit outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility. However, as discussed below, commercial paper borrowings effectively reduce our borrowing capacity under this Revolving Credit Facility.

Table of Contents

The Revolving Credit Facility permits outstanding borrowings to bear interest at the LIBOR and/or an alternate base rate, at the Partnership’s election, plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin is based on the Partnership’s applicable credit ratings. As of June 30, 2014, the applicable margin for LIBOR-based borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility was 1.625% based on the Partnership’s credit ratings. In addition, the Revolving Credit Facility requires the Partnership to pay a fee on unused commitments. The commitment fee is based on the Partnership’s applicable credit rating from the rating agencies. As of June 30, 2014, the commitment fee under the Revolving Credit Facility was 0.25% per annum based on the Partnership’s credit ratings.

In January 2014, the Partnership commenced a commercial paper program, pursuant to which the Partnership is authorized to issue up to $1.4 billion of commercial paper. The commercial paper program is supported by our Revolving Credit Facility, and outstanding commercial paper effectively reduces our borrowing capacity thereunder. As of June 30, 2014, no amounts were outstanding under our commercial paper program. Any reduction in our credit ratings could prevent us from accessing the commercial paper markets.

As of June 30, 2014, the Partnership’s debt included Enable Oklahoma’s $200 million of 6.875% senior notes due July 2014, and $250 million of 6.25% senior notes due March 2020 (collectively, the Enable Oklahoma Senior Notes). The Enable Oklahoma Senior Notes have $31 million unamortized premium at June 30, 2014, which relates to the senior notes due March 2020.

Unamortized debt expense of $18 million and $9 million at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, is classified in Other Assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and is being amortized over the life of the respective debt. Unamortized premium on long-term debt of $31 million and $37 million at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, is classified as either Long-Term Debt or Current Portion of Long-Term Debt, consistent with the underlying debt instrument, in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and is being amortized over the life of the respective debt.

The Partnership recorded a $4 million loss on extinguishment of debt associated with the retirement of the $1.05 billion Term Loan Facility and the Enable Oklahoma $250 million variable rate term loan, which is included in Other, net on the Condensed Combined and Consolidated Statement of Income.

At June 30, 2014, the Partnership and Enable Oklahoma were in compliance with all of their debt agreements, including financial covenants.

(9) Fair Value Measurements

Certain assets and liabilities are recorded at fair value in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their value. Hierarchical levels, as defined below and directly related to the amount of subjectivity associated with the inputs to fair valuations of these assets and liabilities are as follows:

Level 1: Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date. Instruments classified as Level 1 include natural gas futures, swaps and options transactions for contracts traded on the NYMEX and settled through a NYMEX clearing broker.

Level 2: Inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability. Fair value assets and liabilities that are generally included in this category are derivatives with fair values based on inputs from actively quoted markets. Instruments classified as Level 2 include over-the-counter NYMEX natural gas swaps, natural gas basis swaps and natural gas purchase and sales transactions in markets such that the pricing is closely related to the NYMEX pricing, and over-the-counter WTI crude swaps for condensate sales.

Level 3: Inputs are unobservable for the asset or liability, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability. Unobservable inputs reflect the Partnership’s judgments about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability since limited market data exists. The Partnership develops these inputs based on the best information available, including the Partnership’s own data.

The Partnership utilizes the market approach in determining the fair value of its derivative positions by using either NYMEX or WTI published market prices, independent broker pricing data or broker/dealer valuations. The valuations of derivatives with pricing based on NYMEX published market prices may be considered Level 1 if they are settled through a NYMEX clearing broker account with daily margining. Over-the-counter derivatives with NYMEX or WTI based prices are considered Level 2 due to the impact of counterparty credit risk. Valuations based on independent broker pricing or broker/dealer valuations may be classified as Level 2 only to the extent they may be validated by an additional source of independent market data for an identical or closely related active market. In certain less liquid markets or for longer-term contracts, forward prices are not as readily

Table of Contents

available. In these circumstances, contracts are valued using internally developed methodologies that consider historical relationships among various quoted prices in active markets that result in management’s best estimate of fair value. These contracts are classified as Level 3.

The Partnership determines the appropriate level for each financial asset and liability on a quarterly basis and recognizes transfers between levels at the end of the reporting period. For the period ended June 30, 2014, there were no transfers between Level 1 and 2, and no material Level 3 investments were held.

The impact to the fair value of derivatives due to credit risk is calculated using the probability of default based on Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services and/or internally generated ratings. The fair value of derivative assets is adjusted for credit risk. The fair value of derivative liabilities is adjusted for credit risk only if the impact is deemed material.

Contracts with Master Netting Arrangements

Fair value amounts recognized for forward, interest rate swap, option and other conditional or exchange contracts executed with the same counterparty under a master netting arrangement may be offset. The reporting entity’s choice to offset or not must be applied consistently. A master netting arrangement exists if the reporting entity has multiple contracts, whether for the same type of conditional or exchange contract or for different types of contracts, with a single counterparty that are subject to a contractual agreement that provides for the net settlement of all contracts through a single payment in a single currency in the event of default on or termination of any one contract. Offsetting the fair values recognized for forward, interest rate swap, option and other conditional or exchange contracts outstanding with a single counterparty results in the net fair value of the transactions being reported as an asset or a liability in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Partnership has presented the fair values of its derivative contracts under master netting agreements using a net fair value presentation.

The following tables summarize the Partnership’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013:

______________________

(1)

The Partnership uses the market approach to fair value its gas imbalance assets and liabilities at individual, or where appropriate an average of, current market indices applicable to the Partnership’s operations, not to exceed net realizable value. Gas imbalances held by Enable Oklahoma are valued using an average of the Inside FERC Gas Market Report for Panhandle Eastern Pipe Line Co. (Texas, Oklahoma Mainline), ONEOK (Oklahoma) and ANR Pipeline (Oklahoma) indices. There were no netting adjustments as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

Table of Contents


(2)	Gas imbalance assets exclude fuel reserves for under retained fuel due from shippers of $4 million and $2 million at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, which fuel reserves are based on the value of natural gas at the time the imbalance was created and which are not subject to revaluation at fair market value.


(3)	Gas imbalance liabilities exclude fuel reserves for over retained fuel due to shippers of $3 million and $3 million at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, which fuel reserves are based on the value of natural gas at the time the imbalance was created and which are not subject to revaluation at fair market value.

The fair values of all accounts receivable, notes receivable, accounts payable, and other such financial instruments on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets are estimated to be approximately equivalent to their carrying amounts and have been excluded from the table below. The following table summarizes the fair value and carrying amount of the Partnership’s financial instruments at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

The fair value of the Partnership’s Term Loan Facility and Long-term notes payable—affiliated companies, along with the Enable Oklahoma Senior Notes and Enable Midstream Partners, LP 2019, 2024 and 2044 Notes, is based on quoted market prices and estimates of current rates available for similar issues with similar maturities and is classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

Non-Financial Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

Certain assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis; that is, the assets and liabilities are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis, but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances (e.g., when there is evidence of impairment).

At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, no material fair value adjustments or fair value measurements were required for these non-financial assets or liabilities.

(10) Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

The Partnership is exposed to certain risks relating to its ongoing business operations. The primary risk managed using derivative instruments is commodity price risk. The Partnership is also exposed to credit risk in its business operations.

Table of Contents

Commodity Price Risk

The Partnership has used forward physical contracts, commodity price swap contracts and commodity price option features to manage the Partnership’s commodity price risk exposures in the past. Commodity derivative instruments used by the Partnership are as follows:


•	NGL put options, NGL futures and swaps, and WTI crude futures and swaps for condensate sales are used to manage the Partnership’s NGL and condensate exposure associated with its processing agreements;


•	natural gas futures and swaps are used to manage the Partnership’s keep-whole natural gas exposure associated with its processing operations and the Partnership’s natural gas exposure associated with operating its gathering, transportation and storage assets; and


•	natural gas futures and swaps, natural gas options and natural gas commodity purchases and sales are used to manage the Partnership’s natural gas exposure associated with its storage and transportation contracts and asset management activities.

Normal purchases and normal sales contracts are not recorded in Other Assets or Liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and earnings are recognized and recorded in the period in which physical delivery of the commodity occurs. Management applies normal purchases and normal sales treatment to: (i) commodity contracts for the purchase and sale of natural gas used in or produced by the Partnership’s operations and (ii) commodity contracts for the purchase and sale of NGLs produced by the Partnership’s gathering and processing business.

The Partnership recognizes its non-exchange traded derivative instruments as Other Assets or Liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value with such amounts classified as current or long-term based on their anticipated settlement. Exchange traded transactions are settled on a net basis daily through margin accounts with a clearing broker and, therefore, are recorded at fair value on a net basis in Other Current Assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Partnership had no derivative instruments that were designated as cash flow or fair value hedges for accounting purposes.

Credit Risk

The Partnership is exposed to certain credit risks relating to its ongoing business operations. Credit risk includes the risk that counterparties that owe the Partnership money or energy will breach their obligations. If the counterparties to these arrangements fail to perform, the Partnership may be forced to enter into alternative arrangements. In that event, the Partnership’s financial results could be adversely affected, and the Partnership could incur losses.

Derivatives Not Designated As Hedging Instruments

Derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments for accounting purposes are utilized in the Partnership’s asset management activities. For derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments, the gain or loss on the derivative is recognized currently in earnings.

Quantitative Disclosures Related to Derivative Instruments

The majority of natural gas physical purchases and sales not designated as hedges for accounting purposes are priced based on a monthly or daily index, and the fair value is subject to little or no market price risk. Natural gas physical sales volumes exceed natural gas physical purchase volumes due to the marketing of natural gas volumes purchased via the Partnership’s processing contracts, which are not derivative instruments.

Credit-Risk Related Contingent Features in Derivative Instruments

In the event Moody’s Investors Services or Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services were to lower the Partnership’s senior unsecured debt rating to a below investment grade rating, at June 30, 2014, the Partnership would have been required to post less than $1 million of cash collateral to satisfy its obligation under its financial and physical contracts relating to derivative instruments that are in a net liability position at June 30, 2014. In addition, the Partnership could be required to provide additional credit assurances in future dealings with third parties, which could include letters of credit or cash collateral.

The Partnership's contracts with OGE Energy to transport and sell natural gas to OGE Energy’s natural gas-fired generation facilities and store natural gas are reflected in Partnership’s Condensed Combined and Consolidated Statement of Income beginning on May 1, 2013. On March 17, 2014, the Partnership and the electric utility subsidiary of OGE Energy signed a new transportation agreement effective May 1, 2014 with a primary term through April 30, 2019. Following the primary term, the agreement will remain in effect from year to year thereafter unless either party provides notice of termination to the other party at least 180 days prior to the commencement of the succeeding annual period.

Amounts of natural gas purchased from affiliated companies included in the Partnership’s Condensed Combined and Consolidated Statements of Income are summarized as follows:



	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,

Prior to May 1, 2013, the Partnership had employees and reflected the associated benefit costs directly and not as corporate services. Under the terms of the MFA, effective May 1, 2013 the Partnership’s employees were seconded by CenterPoint Energy and OGE Energy, and the Partnership began reimbursing each of CenterPoint Energy and OGE Energy for all employee costs under the seconding agreements until terminated with at least 90 days’ notice by CenterPoint Energy or OGE Energy, respectively, or by the Partnership. The Partnership anticipates transitioning seconded employees from CenterPoint Energy and OGE Energy to the Partnership effective January 1, 2015.

Prior to May 1, 2013, the Partnership received certain services and support functions from CenterPoint Energy described below. Under the terms of the MFA, effective May 1, 2013, the Partnership receives services and support functions from each of CenterPoint Energy and OGE Energy under service agreements for an initial term ending on April 30, 2016. The service agreements automatically extend year-to-year at the end of the initial term, unless terminated by the Partnership with at least 90 days’ notice. Additionally, the Partnership may terminate these service agreements at any time with 180 days’ notice, if approved by the Board of Enable GP. The Partnership reimburses CenterPoint Energy and OGE Energy for these services up to annual caps, which for 2014 are $38 million and $28 million, respectively.

Effective April 1, 2014, the Partnership, CenterPoint Energy and OGE Energy agreed to reduce certain allocated costs charged to the Partnership because the Partnership has assumed responsibility for the related activities.

_________________________


(1)	Beginning on May 1, 2013, CenterPoint Energy assumed all employees of the Partnership and seconded such employees to the Partnership. Therefore, costs historically incurred directly by the Partnership for employment services are reflected as seconded employee costs subsequent to formation on May 1, 2013.


(2)	Corporate services and seconded employee expenses from OGE Energy are reflected in the Condensed Combined and Consolidated Statement of Income beginning on May 1, 2013.

The Partnership has outstanding long-term notes payable—affiliated companies to CenterPoint Energy at both June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 of $363 million which mature in 2017. Notes having an aggregate principal amount of approximately $273 million bear a fixed interest rate of 2.10% and notes having an aggregate principal amount of approximately $90 million bear a fixed interest rate of 2.45%.

The Partnership recorded affiliated interest expense to CenterPoint Energy on note payable—affiliated companies of $2 million and $7 million during the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $4 million and $31 million during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

The Partnership recorded no interest income—affiliated companies from CenterPoint Energy on notes receivable—affiliated companies during the three months ended June 30, 2014 and $1 million during three months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, and no interest income-affiliated companies and $8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

(12) Commitments and Contingencies

The Partnership is involved in legal, environmental, tax and regulatory proceedings before various courts, regulatory commissions and governmental agencies regarding matters arising in the ordinary course of business. Some of these proceedings involve substantial amounts. The Partnership regularly analyzes current information and, as necessary, provides accruals for probable liabilities on the eventual disposition of these matters. The Partnership does not expect the disposition of these matters to have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Upon conversion to a limited partnership on May 1, 2013, the Partnership’s earnings are generally no longer subject to income tax (other than Texas state margin taxes) and are taxable at the individual partner level, with the exception of Enable Midstream Services, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary (Enable Midstream Services). The Partnership and its subsidiaries are pass-through entities for federal income tax purposes. For these entities, all income, expenses, gains, losses and tax credits generated flow through to their owners and, accordingly, do not result in a provision for income taxes in the condensed combined and consolidated financial statements. Consequently, the Condensed Combined and Consolidated Statements of Income do not include an income tax provision for income earned on or after May 1, 2013 (other than Texas state margin taxes).

As a result of the conversion to a limited partnership, CenterPoint Energy assumed all outstanding current income tax liabilities and the deferred income tax assets and liabilities were eliminated by recording a provision for income tax benefit equal to $1.24 billion.

Enable Midstream Services is subject to U.S. federal and state income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities for the operations of this corporation are recognized for temporary differences between the assets and liabilities for financial reporting and tax purposes. Changes in tax legislation are included in the relevant computations in the period in which such changes are effective.

(14) Equity Based Compensation

Enable GP has adopted the Enable Midstream Partners, LP Long Term Incentive Plan for officers, directors and employees of the Partnership, Enable GP or affiliates, including any individual who provides services to the Partnership or Enable GP as a seconded employee, and any consultants or affiliates of Enable GP or other individuals who perform services for the Partnership.

The long term incentive plan consists of the following components: phantom units, performance units, appreciations rights, restricted units, option rights, cash incentive awards, distribution equivalent rights or other unit-based awards and unit awards. The purpose of awards under the long term incentive plan is to provide additional incentive compensation to employees providing services to the Partnership, and to align the economic interests of such employees with the interests of unitholders. The long term incentive plan will limit the number of units that may be delivered pursuant to vested awards to 13,100,000 common units, subject to proportionate adjustment in the event of unit splits and similar events. Common units cancelled, forfeited, expired or cash settled will be available for delivery pursuant to other awards. The plan is administered by the board of directors of Enable GP or a designated committee thereof.

Table of Contents

The following table summarizes the Partnership’s compensation expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 related to performance units, restricted units, and phantom units for the Partnership's employees.

Performance Units

On June 2, 2014, the board of directors of Enable GP granted 563,963 performance based phantom units (performance units) to certain employees providing services to the Partnership, including executive officers, that cliff vest three years from the grant date. The performance units provide for accelerated vesting if there is a change in control (as defined in the Enable Midstream Partners, LP Long Term Incentive Plan). Each performance unit is subject to forfeiture if the recipient terminates employment with the Partnership prior to the end of the three-year award cycle for any reason other than death, disability or retirement. In the event of death or disability, a participant will receive a payment based on the targeted achievement of the performance goals during the award cycle. In the event of retirement, a participant will receive a pro rated payment based on the actual performance of the performance goals during the award cycle.

The payment of performance units is dependent upon the Partnership's total unitholder return ranking relative to a peer group of companies over the period of April 11, 2014 through December 31, 2016 as compared to a target set at the time of the grant by the board of directors of Enable GP. Any performance units that cliff vest three years from the grant date (i.e. the three year award cycle) will be payable in the Partnership's common units. All of these performance units are classified as equity in the Partnership's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. If there is no or only a partial payout for the performance units at the end of the award cycle, the unearned performance units are cancelled. Payout requires approval of the board of directors of Enable GP.

The fair value of the performance units was estimated on the grant date using a lattice-based valuation model that factors in information, including the expected dividend yield, expected price volatility, risk-free interest rate and the probable outcome of the market condition, over the expected life of the performance units. Compensation expense for the performance units is a fixed amount determined at the grant date fair value and is recognized over the three-year award cycle regardless of whether performance units are awarded at the end of the award cycle. Distributions are accumulated and paid at vesting, and therefore, are not included in the fair value calculation. Due to the short trading history of the Partnership's common units, expected price volatility is based on the average of the three-year volatility of the peer group companies used to determine the total unitholder return ranking. The risk-free interest rate for the performance unit grants is based on the three-year U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant. The expected life of the units is based on the non-vested period since inception of the award cycle. There are no post-vesting restrictions related to the Partnership’s performance units. The number of performance units granted based on total unitholder return and the assumptions used to calculate the grant date fair value of the performance units based on total unitholder return are shown in the following table.



	2014
Number of units granted	563,963
Fair value of units granted	$	26.12
Expected price volatility	22.2		%
Risk-free interest rate	0.83		%
Expected life of units (in years)	3.00

Restricted Units

On April 16, 2014 the board of directors of Enable GP granted 375,000 restricted units to the Chief Executive Officer of Enable GP, which vest 40% on August 1, 2014 and 20% on each of February 1, 2015, 2016 and 2017. Additionally, on April 16, 2014, the board of directors of Enable GP granted 150,000 restricted units to the Chief Executive Officer of Enable GP, which vest four years from the grant date. On April 16, 2014, the board of directors of Enable GP granted 137,500 restricted units to the

Table of Contents

Chief Financial Officer of Enable GP, which vest 45.46% on March 1, 2015 and 54.54% on March 1, 2016. Additionally, on April 16, 2014, the board of directors of Enable GP granted 25,000 restricted units to the Chief Financial Officer of Enable GP, which vest four years from the grant date. Prior to vesting, each share of restricted stock is subject to forfeiture if the recipient ceases to render substantial services to the Partnership for any reason other than death, disability or retirement. During the restriction period these units may not be sold, assigned, transferred or pledged and are subject to a risk of forfeiture.

On June 2, 2014, the board of directors of Enable GP granted 218,701 time-based restricted units (restricted units) to certain employees providing services to the Partnership that cliff vest three years from the grant date. Prior to vesting, each share of restricted stock is subject to forfeiture if the recipient ceases to render substantial services to the Partnership for any reason other than death, disability or retirement. During the restriction period these units may not be sold, assigned, transferred or pledged and are subject to a risk of forfeiture.

The fair value of the restricted units was based on the closing market price of the Partnership’s common unit on the grant date. Compensation expense for the restricted units is a fixed amount determined at the grant date fair value and is recognized as services are rendered by employees over a vesting period, as defined in the agreements. Distributions are paid as declared prior to vesting and, therefore, are included in the fair value calculation. After payment, distributions are not subject to forfeiture. The expected life of the restricted units is based on the non-vested period since inception of the award cycle. There are no post-vesting restrictions related to the Partnership's restricted units. The number of restricted units granted related to the Partnership’s employees and the grant date fair value are shown in the following table.



	2014
Restricted units granted on April 16, 2014 to the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of Enable GP	687,500
Fair value of restricted units granted	$	22.60

Restricted units granted to the Partnership's employees	218,701
Fair value of restricted units granted	$	25.50

Phantom Units

On April 21, 2014, the board of directors of Enable GP granted 100,000 time-based phantom units (phantom units) to certain employees providing services to the Partnership, including executive officers, that vest on the first anniversary of the date of grant. Prior to vesting, each share of restricted units is subject to forfeiture if the recipient ceases to render substantial services to the Partnership for any reason other than death, disability or retirement. During the restriction period these units may not be sold, assigned, transferred or pledged and are subject to a risk of forfeiture.

The fair value of the phantom units was based on the closing market price of the Partnership’s common unit on the grant date. Compensation expense for the phantom unit is a fixed amount determined at the grant date fair value and is recognized as services are rendered by employees over a one-year vesting period. Distributions are accumulated and paid at vesting and, therefore, are not included in the fair value calculation. The expected life of the phantom unit is based on the non-vested period since inception of the one-year award cycle. There are no post-vesting restrictions related to the Partnership's phantom unit. The number of phantom units granted related to the Partnership’s employees and the grant date fair value are shown in the following table.

	Unrecognized Compensation Cost (In millions)		Weighted Average to be Recognized (In years)
Performance Units	$	14	2.97
Restricted Units	17		2.02
Phantom Units	2		0.83
Total	$	33

As of June 30, 2014, there were 11,534,336 units available for issuance under the long term incentive plan.

(15) Reportable Business Segments

The Partnership’s determination of reportable business segments considers the strategic operating units under which it manages sales, allocates resources and assesses performance of various products and services to wholesale or retail customers in differing regulatory environments. The accounting policies of the business segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies excerpt in the Partnership’s audited 2013 combined and consolidated financial statements included in the Prospectus, which explain that some executive benefit costs of the Partnership prior to May 1, 2013 have not been allocated to business segments. The Partnership uses operating income as the measure of profit or loss for its business segments.

The Partnership’s assets and operations are organized into two business segments: (i) Gathering and Processing, which primarily provides natural gas gathering, processing and fractionation services and crude oil gathering for our producer customers, and (ii) Transportation and Storage, which provides interstate and intrastate natural gas pipeline transportation and storage service primarily to natural gas producers, utilities and industrial customers. Effective May 1, 2013, the intrastate natural gas pipeline operations acquired from Enogex were combined with the interstate pipelines in the transportation and storage segment and the non-rate regulated natural gas gathering, processing and treating operations acquired from Enogex were combined with in the gathering and processing segment.

Debt Repayment

On July 15, 2014, the Partnership repaid the Enable Oklahoma $200 million of 6.875% senior notes, which were due on July 15, 2014.

Distributions

On July 25, 2014, the board of directors of Enable GP declared a quarterly cash distribution of $0.2464 per common unit on all of the Partnership's outstanding common and subordinated units for the period ended June 30, 2014. This is the Partnership's initial distribution following the closing of the Offering on April 16, 2014, and the distribution has been prorated for the partial period. The distribution will be paid August 14, 2014 to unit holders of record as of the close of business August 4, 2014. This distribution is based on the Partnership’s Second Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership, which went into effect on April 16, 2014.

Table of Contents

On July 25, 2014, the board of directors of Enable GP also declared a distribution of $22 million to the Partnership's unitholders of record at the close of business on April 1, 2014, which will be paid on August 14, 2014. This distribution is for the period of April 1, 2014 through April 15, 2014, the day prior to the closing of the Offering. The methodology for calculating the amount of this distribution, as set forth in the Partnership’s First Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership, is different than the methodology for calculating the amount of distributions after the closing of the Offering, as set forth in the Partnership’s Second Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed combined and consolidated financial statements and the related notes included herein and our audited combined and consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013, included in the Prospectus. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our future plans, estimates, beliefs and expected performance. The forward-looking statements are dependent upon events, risks and uncertainties that may be outside our control. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in these forward-looking statements. Please read “Forward-Looking Statements.” In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the forward-looking events discussed may not occur.

Overview

We are a large-scale, growth-oriented limited partnership formed to own, operate and develop strategically located natural gas and crude oil infrastructure assets. We serve current and emerging production areas in the United States, including several unconventional shale resource plays and local and regional end-user markets in the United States. Our assets and operations are organized into two business segments: (i) Gathering and Processing, which primarily provides natural gas gathering, processing and fractionation services and crude oil gathering for our producer customers, and (ii) Transportation and Storage, which provides interstate and intrastate natural gas pipeline transportation and storage service primarily to natural gas producers, utilities and industrial customers. In both business segments, we generate a substantial portion of our gross margin under long-term, fee-based agreements that minimize our direct exposure to commodity price fluctuations.

Our natural gas gathering and processing assets are located in five states and serve natural gas production from shale developments in the Anadarko, Arkoma and Ark-La-Tex basins. We also own a crude oil gathering business in the Bakken shale formation in the Williston Basin that commenced initial operations in November 2013. We are continuing to construct additional crude oil gathering capacity in this area. Our natural gas transportation and storage assets extend from western Oklahoma and the Texas Panhandle to Alabama and from Louisiana to Illinois.

General Trends and Outlook

We expect our business to continue to be affected by the key trends included in the Prospectus. To the extent our underlying assumptions about, or interpretations of, available information prove to be incorrect, our actual results may vary materially from our expected results.

Outlook

We plan to continue to invest in midstream infrastructure projects, including investments in natural gas gathering, natural gas processing, crude oil gathering and natural gas transportation assets. These asset investments are driven by a number of different factors, including producer activity across our footprint, particularly in the Williston and Anadarko basins, as well as natural gas end-user demand. In 2014 we anticipate capital expenditures could total $1.04 billion, inclusive of capital identified as maintenance spending.

Gathering and Processing

Three months ended June 30, 2014 compared to three months ended June 30, 2013. Our gathering and processing business segment reported operating income of $84 million in the three months ended June 30, 2014 compared to $76 million in the three months ended June 30, 2013. Operating income increased $8 million primarily from increased gross margin of $38 million, partially offset by an increase in operation and maintenance expenses of $18 million, an increase in depreciation and amortization of $11 million and an increase in taxes other than income tax of $1 million, during the three months ended June 30, 2014.

Our gathering and processing business segment gross margin increased $38 million primarily due to the acquisition of Enogex, resulting in an increase to margin of $34 million, and higher natural gas prices of $5 million, partially offset by lower gathered volumes in the Ark-La-Tex and Arkoma basins of $1 million.

Our gathering and processing business segment operation and maintenance expenses increased $18 million primarily due to the acquisition of Enogex, which contributed $15 million of operation and maintenance expenses, an increase in general and administrative expenses related to an increased payroll-related expense of $3 million to support business growth.

Our gathering and processing business segment depreciation and amortization increased $11 million due to the additional assets placed in-service from the acquisition of Enogex of $8 million and assets placed in service during the normal course of business of $3 million during the three months ended June 30, 2014.

Table of Contents

Our gathering and processing business segment taxes other than income tax increased $1 million due to increased ad valorem taxes as a result of additional assets placed in service.

Six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to six months ended June 30, 2013. Our gathering and processing business segment reported operating income of $180 million in the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to $132 million in the six months ended June 30, 2013. Operating income increased $48 million primarily from increased gross margin of $141 million, partially offset by an increase in operation and maintenance expenses of $56 million, an increase in depreciation and amortization of $34 million and an increase in taxes other than income tax of $3 million, during the six months ended June 30, 2014.

Our gathering and processing business segment gross margin increased $141 million primarily due to the acquisition of Enogex, resulting in an increase to margin of $138 million and higher natural gas prices of $11 million, partially offset by $8 million due to lower gathered volumes in the Ark-La-Tex and Arkoma basins, net of minimum volume commitments.

Our gathering and processing business segment operation and maintenance expenses increased $56 million primarily due to the acquisition of Enogex, which contributed $51 million of operation and maintenance expenses and an increase in general and administrative expenses related to an increased payroll-related expense of $5 million to support business growth.

Our gathering and processing business segment depreciation and amortization increased $34 million due to the additional assets placed in-service from the acquisition of Enogex of $31 million and assets placed in service during the normal course of business of $3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2014.

Our gathering and processing business segment taxes other than income tax increased $3 million due to increased ad valorem taxes as a result of assets placed in service from the acquisition of Enogex of $4 million and other additional assets placed in service of $2 million, partially offset by the favorable settlement of a state and local tax dispute for $3 million less than the previously recognized reserve.

Transportation and Storage

Three months ended June 30, 2014 compared to three months ended June 30, 2013. Our transportation and storage business segment reported operating income of $54 million in the three months ended June 30, 2014 compared to $40 million in the three months ended June 30, 2013. Operating income increased $14 million primarily resulting from an increase in gross margin of $22 million and lower taxes other than income tax of $1 million, partially offset by an increase of $2 million in operation and maintenance expenses, as well as $7 million in depreciation and amortization, during the three months ended June 30, 2014.

Our transportation and storage business segment gross margin increased $22 million primarily due to the acquisition of Enogex, which contributed $11 million to gross margin, increased margin on ancillary services composed of a $2 million increase in margins from system optimization opportunities and $1 million increase from operational synergies, an increase to margins from off-system transportation revenues of $3 million, as well as continued improvements to gross margin of $3 million due to higher rates on transportation services for local distribution companies, and higher other firm transportation revenues of $2 million.

Our transportation and storage business segment operation and maintenance expenses increased $2 million due to the acquisition of Enogex, which contributed $2 million to operation and maintenance expenses, and an increase in general and administrative expenses related to an increased payroll-related expense of $4 million to support business growth, partially offset by a decrease in gas control, volume control and customer service relocation costs of $4 million in the three months ended June 30, 2014.

Our transportation and storage business segment depreciation and amortization increased $7 million primarily due to the additional assets in service from the acquisition of Enogex of $4 million, MRT rate case impact of $2 million and asset additions of $1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2014.

Our transportation and storage business segment taxes other than income tax decreased $1 million due to reduced ad valorem taxes of $1 million.

Our transportation and storage business segment recorded equity in earnings of equity method affiliates of $4 million for each of the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, from our interest in SESH, a jointly owned pipeline.

Six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to six months ended June 30, 2013. Our transportation and storage business segment reported operating income of $120 million in the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to $92 million in the six

months ended June 30, 2013. Operating income increased $28 million primarily resulting from an increase in gross margin of $71 million, partially offset by an increase of $20 million in operation and maintenance expenses, $21 million in depreciation and amortization, as well as a $2 million increase in taxes other than income tax for the six months ended June 30, 2014.

Our transportation and storage business segment gross margin increased $71 million primarily due to the acquisition of Enogex, which contributed $47 million to gross margin, increased margin on ancillary services composed of a $8 million increase in margins from system optimization opportunities and $1 million increase from operational synergies, a $4 million increase in liquid sales, and an increase to margins from off-system transportation revenues of $4 million, as well as continued improvements to gross margin of $6 million due to higher rates on transportation services for local distribution companies, and higher other firm transportation revenues of $1 million.

Our transportation and storage business segment operation and maintenance expenses increased $20 million due to the acquisition of Enogex, which contributed $19 million to operation and maintenance expenses, and an increase in general and administrative expenses related to an increased payroll-related expense of $5 million to support business growth, partially offset by a decrease in gas control, volume control and customer service relocation costs of $4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2014.

Our transportation and storage business segment depreciation and amortization increased $21 million primarily due to the additional assets in service from the acquisition of Enogex of $16 million, MRT rate case impact of $3 million and asset additions of $2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2014.

Our transportation and storage business segment taxes other than income tax increased $2 million due to the acquisition of Enogex, which contributed $3 million to taxes other than income tax, partially offset by reduced ad valorem taxes of $1 million.

Our transportation and storage business segment recorded equity in earnings of equity method affiliates of $7 million and $9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, from our interest in SESH, a jointly owned pipeline. The $2 million decrease in equity in earnings of equity method affiliates in the six months ended June 30, 2014 was attributable to the reduction to our 50% historical interest in SESH on May 1, 2013, when the Partnership distributed a 25.05% interest in SESH to CenterPoint Energy.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2014 compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2013

Net Income attributable to the Partnership. We reported net income attributable to the Partnership of $120 million and $1,337 million in the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The decrease in net income attributable to the Partnership of $1,217 million was primarily attributable to the decrease in income tax benefit from no longer being subject to income taxes of $1,233 million, an increase in other income and expense related to the loss on extinguishment of debt of $4 million and a decrease in interest income of $1 million as a result of the reduction in notes receivable, partially offset by an increase related to the acquisition of Enogex on May 1, 2013 of $14 million, an decrease in interest expense of $2 million (excluding the impact of interest on debt acquired with Enogex reflected in the acquisition impact above), an increase in operating income of $5 million (excluding the impact of the acquisition of Enogex and discussed by business segment above) in the three months ended June 30, 2014.

Income Tax Expense. Effective May 1, 2013, upon conversion to a limited partnership, the Partnership’s earnings are no longer subject to income taxes (other Texas state margin taxes). As a result of the conversion to a partnership, we recognized our outstanding current income tax liabilities and deferred income tax assets and liabilities by recording an income tax benefit of $1,233 million. Consequently, the Condensed Combined and Consolidated Statement of Income for the three months ended June 30, 2014 does not include an income tax provision (other than Texas state margin taxes and taxes associated with our corporate subsidiary).

Six Months Ended June 30, 2014 compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2013

Net Income attributable to the Partnership. We reported net income attributable to the Partnership of $269 million and $1,396 million in the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The decrease in net income attributable to the Partnership of $1,127 million was primarily attributable to the decrease in income tax benefit from no longer being subject to income taxes of $1,197 million, an increase in other income and expense related to the loss on extinguishment of debt of $4 million, a decrease in interest income of $8 million as a result of the reduction in notes receivable and a decrease in equity earnings in equity method affiliates of $2 million (discussed by business segment above), partially offset by a decrease in interest expense of $20 million (excluding the impact of interest on debt acquired with Enogex reflected in the acquisition impact below), a decrease related to the acquisition of Enogex on May 1, 2013 of $50 million, and an increase in operating income of $14 million (excluding the impact of the acquisition of Enogex and discussed by business segment above) in the six months ended June 30, 2014.

Interest Expense. Interest expense increased $10 million primarily due to an increase in interest expense incurred on the debt assumed with the acquisition of Enogex of $10 million, offset by lower interest rates on the Term Loan Facility and Revolving Credit Facility, entered into May 1, 2013, compared to the interest on notes payable—affiliated companies, and a reduction in borrowings of $20 million (excluding the impact of debt acquired with Enogex reflected in the acquisition impact above).

Income Tax Expense. Effective May 1, 2013, upon conversion to a limited partnership, the Partnership’s earnings are no longer subject to income taxes (other Texas state margin taxes). As a result of the conversion to a partnership, we recognized our outstanding current income tax liabilities and deferred income tax assets and liabilities by recording an income tax benefit of $1,197 million. Consequently, the Condensed Combined and Consolidated Statement of Income for the six months ended June 30, 2014 does not include an income tax provision (other than Texas state margin taxes and taxes associated with our corporate subsidiary).

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Partnership has included the non-GAAP financial measures gross margin, Adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow in this report based on information in its condensed combined and consolidated financial statements.

Gross margin, Adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow are supplemental financial measures that management and external users of the Partnership’s financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies may use, to assess:


•	The Partnership’s operating performance as compared to those of other publicly traded partnerships in the midstream energy industry, without regard to capital structure or historical cost basis;


•	The ability of the Partnership’s assets to generate sufficient cash flow to make distributions to its partners;


•	The Partnership’s ability to incur and service debt and fund capital expenditures; and


•	The viability of acquisitions and other capital expenditure projects and the returns on investment of various investment opportunities.

This report includes a reconciliation of gross margin to revenues, Adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow to net income attributable to controlling interest, and Adjusted EBITDA to net cash provided by operating activities, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, on a historical basis, as applicable, for each of the periods indicated. The Partnership believes that the presentation of gross margin, Adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow provides information useful to investors in assessing its financial condition and results of operations. Gross margin, Adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow should not be considered as alternatives to net income, operating income, revenue, cash from operations or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP. Gross margin, Adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow have important limitations as an analytical tool because they exclude some but not all items that affect the most directly comparable GAAP measures. Additionally, because gross margin, Adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow may be defined differently by other companies in the Partnership’s industry, its definitions of gross margin, Adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing their utility.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Capital Requirements

The midstream business is capital intensive and can require significant investment to maintain and upgrade existing operations, connect new wells to the system, organically grow into new areas and comply with environmental and safety regulations. Going forward, our capital requirements will consist of the following:


•	maintenance capital expenditures, which are cash expenditures (including expenditures for the construction or development of new capital assets or the replacement, improvement or expansion of existing capital assets) made to maintain, over the long-term, our operating capacity or operating income; and


•	expansion capital expenditures are cash expenditures incurred for acquisitions or capital improvements that we expect will increase our operating income or operating capacity over the long term.

Our future expansion capital expenditures may vary significantly from period to period based on the investment opportunities available to us. We expect to fund future capital expenditures from cash flow generated from our operations, borrowings under our revolving credit facility, the issuance of commercial paper or new debt offerings or the issuance of additional partnership units.

Distributions

Issuance of Long-Term Debt

On May 27, 2014, the Partnership completed the private offering of 2019 Notes, 2024 Notes and 2044 Notes, with registration rights. The Partnership received aggregate proceeds of $1.63 billion. Certain of the proceeds were used to repay the Term Loan Facility, and certain of the proceeds were used to repay the Enable Oklahoma $250 million variable rate term loan and the Enable Oklahoma $200 million 6.875% senior notes due July 15, 2014, and for general corporate purposes. See Note 16 for discussion of the repayment of the Enable Oklahoma $200 million 6.875% senior notes. A wholly owned subsidiary of CenterPoint Energy has guaranteed collection of the Partnership’s obligations under the 2019 Notes and 2024 Notes, on an unsecured subordinated basis, subject to automatic release on May 1, 2016.

Working Capital

Working capital is the difference in our current assets and our current liabilities. Working capital is an indication of liquidity and potential need for short-term funding. The change in our working capital requirements are driven generally by changes in accounts receivable, accounts payable, commodity prices, credit extended to, and the timing of collections from, customers, and the level and timing of spending for maintenance and expansion activity. As of June 30, 2014, we had working capital of $339 million due primarily to $415 million of cash and cash equivalents related to the issuance of our 2019 Notes, 2024 Notes and 2044 Notes in May 2014. We utilize the Revolving Credit Facility to manage the timing of cash flows and fund short-term working capital deficits.

Table of Contents

Cash Flows

The following tables reflect cash flows for the applicable periods:



	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2014			2013
	(In millions)
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	292		$	288
Net cash (used in) provided by investing activities	(140		)	262
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities	155			(528		)

Operating Activities

The was an increase of $4 million in net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2014 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2013 due to the impact of timing of payments and receipts on changes in assets and liabilities partially offset by:


•	the acquisition of Enogex on May 1, 2013, which added $186 million in gross margin and $70 million in operation and maintenance expenses during the six months ended June 30, 2014; and


•	excluding the acquisition of Enogex:


•	higher Gathering and Processing gross margin of $3 million;


•	higher Transportation and Storage gross margin of $23 million; and


•	higher payroll related expenses of $10 million and integration costs of $1 million, offset by lower project costs of $4 million, all within operation and maintenance expenses.

Investing Activities

The increase of $402 million in net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2014 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2013 was primarily due to higher gathering and processing capital expenditures of $186 million, and the payment of the notes receivable—affiliated companies of $434 million in 2013, partially offset by lower transportation and storage capital expenditures of $16 million, and distributions from equity method affiliates of $198 million in 2014.

Financing Activities

The Partnership also has a $1.4 billion Revolving Credit Facility, discussed in Note 8 of the condensed combined and consolidated financial statements and related notes. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, there were gross borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility of $115 million and gross repayments of $487 million. As of June 30, 2014, there were no principal advances and $2 million in letters of credit outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility. Commercial paper borrowings effectively reduce our borrowing capacity under this Revolving Credit Facility. As of June 30, 2014, we had no borrowings outstanding under our commercial paper program.

On May 27, 2014, the Partnership completed the private offering of our 2019 Notes, 2024 Notes and 2044 Notes. See Note 8 for further discussion.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Credit Risk

We are exposed to certain credit risks relating to our ongoing business operations. Credit risk includes the risk that counterparties that owe us money or energy will breach their obligations. If the counterparties to these arrangements fail to perform, we may be forced to enter into alternative arrangements. In that event, our financial results could be adversely affected, and we could incur losses. We examine the creditworthiness of third party customers to whom we extend credit and manage our exposure to credit risk through credit analysis, credit approval, credit limits and monitoring procedures, and for certain transactions, we may request letters of credit, prepayments or guarantees.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Table of Contents

As of June 30, 2014, there have been no significant changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates as disclosed in our Prospectus.

Supplemental Disclosures

Certain information contained in this report relates to periods that began prior to the acquisition of Enogex by Enable Midstream Partners, LP. The Partnership believes that combined historical data with Enogex, along with certain pro forma adjustments, is relevant and meaningful, enhances the discussion of periods presented and is useful to the reader to better understand trends in the Partnership's operations. The pro forma adjustments, as discussed in the footnotes below, only give effect to events that are (1) directly attributable to the formation of the Partnership; (2) factually supportable; and (3) expected to have a continuing effect on the consolidated results of the Partnership.

The following information is for informational purposes only and should not be considered indicative of future results. The following pro forma financial data was derived from the Partnership's combined financial information, Enogex consolidated financial information and certain adjustments described below. Further, management does not believe that the pro forma financial data is necessarily indicative of the financial data that would have been reported by the Partnership had the acquisition of Enogex closed prior to the historical period presented, future results of the Partnership, or other transactions that resulted in the formation of the Partnership.

(A) This adjustment reflects the acquisition of Enogex on May 1, 2013:

Cost of Goods Sold, Excluding Depreciation and Amortization. The impact of recognizing liabilities for loss contracts at May 1, 2013 results in a reduction to cost of goods sold, excluding depreciation and amortization, of $1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2013.

Depreciation and Amortization. As a result of applying purchase accounting to the acquisition of Enogex, property, plant and equipment and identifiable intangible assets were recorded at their fair value, resulting in additional depreciation and amortization expense. The impact of the step-up on depreciation expense is $5 million during the three months ended June 30, 2013.

Interest Expense. The pro forma impact of the amortization of the premium, less the historical recognition of the premium, discount and deferred charges on interest expense, net of historical capitalized interest, is $1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2013.

(B) Interest Expense. This adjustment reflects the settlement on May 1, 2013 of certain notes receivable—affiliated companies and notes payable—affiliated companies with CenterPoint Energy and OGE Energy, historically held by the Partnership and Enogex, respectively, by a total of $5 million during the three months ended June 30, 2013.

(C) Interest Expense. This adjustment reflects the entrance into the $1.05 billion Term Loan Facility on May 1, 2013: this issuance results in an increase in interest expense of $2 million during the three months ended June 30, 2013.

Table of Contents

(D) Income Tax Expense. Upon conversion to a limited partnership on May 1, 2013, the Partnership’s earnings are no longer subject to income tax (other than Texas state margin taxes) and are taxable at the individual partner level. The pro forma adjustment to income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2013 removes $5 million of historical income tax expense.

(E) Equity in earnings of equity method affiliates. The 25.05% interest in SESH distributed to CenterPoint Energy results in a pro forma reduction to earnings of equity method affiliates of $2 million during the three months ended June 30, 2013.

(A) This adjustment reflects the acquisition of Enogex on May 1, 2013:

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are exposed to various market risks, including volatility in commodity prices and interest rates.

Commodity Price Risk

While we generate a substantial portion of our gross margin pursuant to long-term, fee-based contracts that include minimum volume commitments and/or demand fees, we are also exposed to changes in the prices for natural gas and NGLs at various market hubs. In the past we have managed our direct exposure to commodity prices with the use of forward commodity sales and other derivative contracts. We do not enter into risk management contracts for speculative purposes.

Table of Contents

Interest Rate Risk

We have exposure to changes in interest rates on our indebtedness associated with our Revolving Credit Facility and the refinancing of our existing term loans. The credit markets have recently experienced historical lows in interest rates. It is possible that interest rates could continue to rise from these low levels in the future, which would cause our financing costs on floating rate credit facilities and future debt offerings to be higher than current levels.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) as of June 30, 2014. Based on such evaluation, our management has concluded that, as of June 30, 2014, our disclosure controls and procedures are designed and effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC's rules and forms and that information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system will be met. In addition, the design of any control system is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events and the application of judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Because of these and other inherent limitations of control systems, there is only reasonable assurance that our controls will succeed in achieving their goals under all potential future conditions.

Changes in Internal Controls

There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2014, that have materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

The SEC, as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, adopted rules that generally require every company that files reports with the SEC to include a management report on such company's internal control over financial reporting in its annual report. In addition, our independent registered public accounting firm must attest to our internal control over financial reporting. Our first Annual Report on Form 10-K will not include a report of management's assessment regarding internal control over financial reporting or an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm due to a transition period established by SEC rules applicable to new public companies. Management will be required to provide an assessment of effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015. We are required to comply with the auditor attestation requirement of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

Information regarding legal proceedings is set forth in Note (12) - Commitments and Contingencies to the Partnership's condensed combined and consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 of Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

We are subject to various risks and uncertainties in the course of our business. Risk factors relating to the Partnership are set forth under "Risk Factors" in our Prospectus. No material changes to such risk factors have occurred during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

On April 10, 2014, the Partnership priced the Offering of 25,000,000 common units at a price to the public of $20.00 per common unit. The Offering was made pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1, as amended (File No. 333-192542) that was declared effective by the SEC on April 10, 2014. The selling unitholder also granted the underwriters an option for a period of 30 days to purchase up to an additional 3,750,000 common units on the same terms. On April 11, 2014, the underwriters exercised the option in full, which were fulfilled with units held by ArcLight. As a result, the Partnership did not receive any proceeds from the sale of common units pursuant to the exercise of the underwriters' option to purchase additional common units. Morgan Stanley, Barclays, Goldman, Sachs & Co., Citigroup, Deutsche Bank Securities, J.P. Morgan, UBS Investment Bank and Wells Fargo Securities acted as joint book-running managers for the Offering, and BofA Merrill Lynch, Credit Suisse and RBC Capital Markets acted as co-managers for the Offering.

The Offering closed on April 16, 2014. The Partnership received net proceeds from the sale of the common units of approximately $464 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions of approximately $29 million, and the structuring fee and offering expenses of approximately $7 million. The Partnership retained approximately $451 million of the net proceeds of the Offering for general partnership purposes, including the funding of expansion capital expenditures, and approximately $13 million to pre-fund demand fees expected to be incurred over the next three years relating to certain expiring transportation and storage contracts.

Prior to May 30, 2014, the Partnership owned a 24.95% interest in SESH, and CenterPoint Energy indirectly owned a 25.05% interest in SESH. On May 13, 2014, CenterPoint Energy exercised a put right with respect to a 24.95% interest in SESH. Pursuant to the put right, on May 30, 2014, CenterPoint Energy contributed its 24.95% interest in SESH to the Partnership in exchange for 6,322,457 common units representing limited partner interests in the Partnership.
