2. Cautionary Statement Regarding
Forward-looking Statements
This presentation includes forward-looking statements and projections, made in reliance on the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995. The company has made every reasonable effort to ensure that the information and assumptions on which these statements and
projections are based are current, reasonable, and complete. However, a variety of factors could cause actual results to differ materially from the
projections, anticipated results or other expectations expressed in this presentation, including, without limitation, changes in unaudited and/or unreviewed
financial information; our ability to implement and achieve our objectives in the 2008 plan, including earnings and cash flow targets; the effects of any
changes in accounting rules and guidance; our ability to meet production volume targets in our E&P segment; uncertainties and potential consequences
associated with the outcome of governmental investigations, including, without limitation, those related to the reserve revisions; outcome of litigation; our
ability to comply with the covenants in our various financing documents; our ability to obtain necessary governmental approvals for proposed pipeline
projects and our ability to successfully construct and operate such projects; the risks associated with recontracting of transportation commitments by our
pipelines; regulatory uncertainties associated with pipeline rate cases; actions by the credit rating agencies; the successful close of our financing
transactions; our ability to successfully exit the energy trading business; our ability to close our announced asset sales on a timely basis; changes in
commodity prices and basis differentials for oil, natural gas, and power and relevant basis spreads; inability to realize anticipated synergies and cost
savings associated with restructurings and divestitures on a timely basis; general economic and weather conditions in geographic regions or markets
served by the company and its affiliates, or where operations of the company and its affiliates are located; the uncertainties associated with governmental
regulation; political and currency risks associated with international operations of the company and its affiliates; competition; and other factors described
in the company’s (and its affiliates’) Securities and Exchange Commission filings. While the company makes these statements and projections in good
faith, neither the company nor its management can guarantee that anticipated future results will be achieved. Reference must be made to those filings for
additional important factors that may affect actual results. The company assumes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking
statements made herein or any other forward-looking statements made by the company, whether as a result of new information, future events, or
otherwise.
Certain of the production information in this presentation include the production attributable to El Paso’s 49 percent interest in Four Star Oil & Gas
Company (“Four Star”). El Paso’s Supplemental Oil and Gas disclosures, which are included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K, reflect its proportionate
share of the proved reserves of Four Star separate from its consolidated proved reserves. In addition, the proved reserves attributable to its proportionate
share of Four Star represent estimates prepared by El Paso and not those of Four Star.
Cautionary Note to U.S. Investors—The United States Securities and Exchange Commission permits oil and gas companies, in their filings with the SEC, to
disclose only proved reserves that a company has demonstrated by actual production or conclusive formation tests to be economically and legally
producible under existing economic and operating conditions. We use certain terms in this presentation that the SEC's guidelines strictly prohibit us from
including in filings with the SEC. U.S. Investors are urged to consider closely the disclosures regarding proved reserves in this presentation and the
disclosures contained in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, File No. 001-14365, available by writing; Investor Relations, El Paso
Corporation, 1001 Louisiana St., Houston, TX 77002. You can also obtain this form from the SEC by calling 1-800-SEC-0330.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This presentation includes certain Non-GAAP financial measures as defined in the SEC’s Regulation G. More information on these Non-GAAP financial
measures, including EBIT, EBITDA, cash costs, net capital, net debt, and the required reconciliations under Regulation G, are set forth in this presentation
or in the appendix hereto. El Paso defines Resource Potential as subsurface volumes of oil and natural gas the company believes may be present and
eventually recoverable. The company utilizes a net, geologic risk mean to represent this estimated ultimate recoverable amount.
