ENABLE MIDSTREAM PARTNERS, LP

Our Business

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 key current and emerging production areas in the United States, including several premier 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 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 strategically located in four states and serve natural gas production from shale developments, which we refer to as unconventional shale resource plays, in some of the most productive regions of the Anadarko, Arkoma and Ark-La-Tex basins. These basins have experienced a strong increase in investment and drilling activity by exploration and production companies in recent years. We also own an emerging crude oil gathering business in the Bakken shale formation 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.

Upon our formation in May 2013 as a limited partnership among OGE Energy, CenterPoint Energy and ArcLight, we became one of the largest midstream partnerships in the United States based on total assets. As of September 30, 2013, our portfolio of energy infrastructure assets included approximately 11,000 miles of

gathering pipelines, 11 major processing plants with approximately 1.9 Bcf/d of processing capacity, approximately 7,800 miles of interstate pipelines (including Southeast Supply Header, LLC, or SESH), approximately 2,300 miles of intrastate pipelines and eight storage facilities comprising 86.5 Bcf of storage capacity. We believe our scale benefits our customers by providing them with fully integrated midstream services and improved access from the wellhead to the marketplace. In addition, we believe our scale and scope will position us to be more competitive in developing new energy infrastructure assets and adding complementary services and business lines.

From the year ended December 31, 2010 through the nine month period ended September 30, 2013, on a pro forma basis, we grew the volume of natural gas gathered on our systems by 17%. Over the same time period, the volume of gas processed on our systems grew by 49% on a pro forma basis. We expect to continue to grow our business by providing midstream services to our customers’ rapidly growing upstream development projects. We expect our customers’ activity in the basins in which we operate to result in higher throughput on our systems and additional organic growth opportunities to expand the capacity and utilization of our assets. We also expect to grow our business and distributable cash flow by developing new energy infrastructure projects to support new and existing customers as they expand beyond our current footprint, as well as through third-party acquisitions. For the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2012, on a pro forma basis, we invested $831 million and $912 million, respectively, in expansion capital expenditures. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, on a pro forma basis, we invested $405 million in expansion capital expenditures. We expect that our expansion capital expenditures will be $448 million for the year ending December 31, 2014.

We believe that our contractual arrangements provide a strong platform to support established operations and future organic growth. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, on a pro forma basis, approximately 75% of our gross margin was generated from contracts that are fee-based, and approximately 50% of our gross margin was attributable to firm contracts or contracts with minimum volume commitment features.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, on a pro forma basis, we generated $984 million of gross margin, $586 million of Adjusted EBITDA and $338 million of net income. Gross margin and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures. For definitions of gross margin and Adjusted EBITDA and a reconciliation to their most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or GAAP, please read “—Summary Historical and Pro Forma Financial and Operating Data—Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

Gathering and Processing. We provide gathering, processing, treating, compression, dehydration and natural gas liquids (NGLs) fractionation for natural gas producers. Our gathering and processing assets are strategically located in established and actively developing basins in the United States and are interconnected with our interstate and intrastate pipelines and with third-party pipelines, which provides our customers with the benefits of a flexible and efficient transportation and storage system. On a pro forma basis for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, our top customers by volumes gathered were affiliates of Encana Corporation (Encana), Shell Oil Corporation (Shell), Exxon Mobil Corporation (Exxon), Chesapeake Energy Corporation (Chesapeake), Apache Corporation (Apache), Continental Resources, Inc. (Continental), QEP Energy Company (QEP), Devon Energy Production Company LP (Devon), BP America Production Company (BP) and Samson Resources Company (Samson).

The following table sets forth certain information regarding our gathering and processing assets on a pro forma basis as of or for the nine months ended September 30, 2013:

Five of our processing plants in the Anadarko basin are interconnected via our large-diameter, rich gas gathering system in western Oklahoma, which spans 18 counties and has approximately 1.0 Bcf/d of processing capacity. Our 4.7 million gross acres of acreage dedications in the Anadarko basin area are served by this system, which we refer to as our “super-header” system. We have configured this system to optimize the flow of natural gas and the utilization of the processing plants connected to it, which we believe provides us with strategic growth opportunities. We have made investments to expand the super-header system and continue to grow its capacity through the planned addition of two new cryogenic processing plants and related gathering pipelines. One of these two new plants, which is located in Custer County, Oklahoma (the McClure Plant), will increase our natural gas processing capacity in the basin by over 15%, providing an additional 200 MMcf/d of natural gas processing capacity. The McClure Plant is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2014. The other new plant, which will be located in Grady County, Oklahoma (the Bradley Plant), will provide an additional 200 MMcf/d of processing capacity and is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2015.

We believe our contract structures provide us with stable cash flows in our major operating basins. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, on a pro forma basis, we generated 60% of our gathering and processing gross margin under long-term, fee-based agreements, and of this fee-based margin, approximately 38% was attributable to gathering and processing contracts containing minimum volume commitment features. Under our minimum volume commitment contracts, our customers commit to ship a minimum annual volume of natural gas on our gathering system, or, in lieu of shipping such volumes, to pay us periodically as if that minimum amount had been shipped. As of September 30, 2013, we had minimum volume commitments in lean natural gas developments of 1.6 Bcf/d with a weighted average remaining term of over nine years. We also have an emerging crude oil gathering business in the Bakken shale formation with a similar minimum volume commitment contract structure that we believe will provide us with an additional source of stable cash flows. Under our acreage dedication contracts, our customers are generally required to deliver all of their production within the dedicated area to our gathering system for processing over the period of the contract. As of September 30, 2013, we had acreage dedications in rich natural gas developments covering more than 5.7 million acres that generally have long lived reserves with a weighted average remaining term of approximately nine years. As of September 30, 2013, our gathering and processing contracts for our top ten natural gas producer customers, which accounted for approximately 75% of our gathered volumes for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, on a pro forma basis, had a volume-weighted average remaining term of approximately nine years.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, on a pro forma basis, our gathering and processing business segment generated $560 million of gross margin and $338 million of Adjusted EBITDA.

Transportation and Storage. Our natural gas transportation and storage business segment consists of our interstate pipelines, our intrastate pipelines and our storage assets. We provide pipeline takeaway capacity for natural gas producers from supply basins to market hubs and critical natural gas supply for industrial end users and utilities, such as local distribution companies, or LDCs, and power generators. Our interstate pipeline system, including SESH, includes approximately 7,800 miles of transportation pipelines and extends from western Oklahoma and the Texas Panhandle to Alabama and from Louisiana to Illinois. Our eight storage facilities in Oklahoma, Louisiana and Illinois have 86.5 Bcf of storage capacity and strategically complement our pipeline systems.

The following table sets forth certain information regarding our transportation and storage assets as of September 30, 2013:

We generate revenue primarily by charging demand fees pursuant to applicable tariffs for the transportation and storage of natural gas on our system. We generate 96% of our transportation and storage gross margin under fee-based agreements with a weighted average remaining contract life of approximately five years as of September 30, 2013. Demand-based margin for this period represented 89% of the fee-based margin. We generally do not take ownership of the natural gas that we transport and store.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, on a pro forma basis, our top customers by gross margin were affiliates of CenterPoint Energy, Laclede Group (Laclede), Exxon, OGE Energy and American Electric Power Company, Inc. (AEP). Our transportation and storage assets were designed and built to serve affiliates of CenterPoint Energy, Laclede, OGE Energy and AEP and are competitively positioned to serve other large natural gas and electric utility companies, such as Ameren Corporation (Ameren) and Entergy Corporation (Entergy).

For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, on a pro forma basis, our transportation and storage business segment generated $426 million of gross margin and $248 million of Adjusted EBITDA.

Business Strategies

Our primary business objective is to practice operational excellence and to grow our business responsibly, enabling us to increase the amount of cash distributions we make to our unitholders over time while maintaining our financial stability. We intend to accomplish this objective by executing the strategies listed below:

Competitive Strengths

We believe that we are well positioned to execute our business strategies successfully because of the following competitive strengths:

Our Relationship with OGE Energy and CenterPoint Energy

OGE Energy and CenterPoint Energy are aligned with us to grow our distributions. Following the completion of this offering, OGE Energy and CenterPoint Energy will retain a significant interest in us through their approximate                 % and                 % limited partner interests in us, respectively.

FORMATION TRANSACTIONS AND PARTNERSHIP STRUCTURE

We were formed in May 2013 by affiliates of CenterPoint Energy, OGE Energy and ArcLight to own, operate and develop a diversified portfolio of complementary midstream businesses previously operated by OGE Energy and CenterPoint Energy. Pursuant to a master formation agreement among our sponsors and ArcLight, the following transactions, which we refer to as our formation transactions, occurred in connection with our formation:

As consideration for the contribution of these assets and agreements, we issued 291,002,583 common units to CenterPoint Energy, 141,956,176 common units to OGE Energy and 65,908,224 common units to ArcLight. We also issued a non-economic general partner interest to Enable GP. Enable GP is equally controlled by CenterPoint Energy and OGE Energy, with each owning 50% of the management rights. Enable GP holds all of our incentive distribution rights, 40% of which are allocated to CenterPoint Energy and 60% of which are allocated to OGE Energy. In connection with this offering,                 of CenterPoint Energy’s common units and                  of OGE Energy’s common units will be converted into subordinated units.

We also entered into a number of agreements with our sponsors in connection with our formation. These agreements included an agreement with respect to the transfer of CenterPoint Energy’s remaining 25.05% interest in SESH to us, an omnibus agreement, certain services and employment agreements and tax sharing agreements. In addition, upon our formation, we entered into our $1.05 billion three-year term loan facility and our $1.4 billion five-year revolving credit facility.

ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE

The diagram below depicts a simplified organization and ownership chart after giving effect to the offering. After giving effect to this offering, our units will be held as follows:

MANAGEMENT OF ENABLE MIDSTREAM PARTNERS, LP

Enable GP, LLC, our general partner, will manage our business and operations. The board of directors and executive officers of our general partner will oversee our operations and make decisions on our behalf. Certain executive officers and directors of OGE Energy and CenterPoint also serve as executive officers or directors of our general partner.

Unlike shareholders in a publicly traded corporation, our common unitholders will not be entitled to elect our general partner or its directors. OGE Energy and CenterPoint Energy each have the right to designate two members of the board of directors of our general partner, with any additional members of our board of directors being designated collectively by OGE Energy and CenterPoint Energy. At the closing of this offering, our general partner will have two directors who are independent as defined under the independence standards established by the New York Stock Exchange, or NYSE. For information about the executive officers and directors of our general partner, please read “Management.”

SUMMARY OF CONFLICTS OF INTEREST AND FIDUCIARY DUTIES

Our general partner has a duty to manage our partnership in a manner it subjectively believes is in our best interests. However, the officers and directors of our general partner also have duties to manage our general partner in a manner beneficial to its owners, OGE Energy and CenterPoint Energy. Additionally, except for our President and Chief Executive Officer, who will be employed by one of our subsidiaries, all of our executive officers and initial directors are officers and/or directors of OGE Energy or CenterPoint Energy. As a result, conflicts of interest may arise in the future between us and our common unitholders, on the one hand, and OGE Energy and CenterPoint Energy and our general partner, on the other hand. For a more detailed description of the conflicts of interest of our general partner, please read “Risk Factors—Risks Related to an Investment in Us” and “Conflicts of Interest and Fiduciary Duties—Conflicts of Interest.”

Delaware law provides that Delaware limited partnerships may, in their partnership agreements, expand, restrict or eliminate the fiduciary duties owed by the general partner to limited partners and the partnership. Pursuant to these provisions, our partnership agreement contains various provisions replacing the fiduciary duties that would otherwise be owed by our general partner with contractual standards governing the duties of the general partner and the methods of resolving conflicts of interest. The effect of these provisions is to restrict the remedies available to our common unitholders for actions taken by our general partner that might otherwise constitute breaches of fiduciary duty. Our partnership agreement also provides that, subject to the provisions contained in the omnibus agreement, affiliates of our general partner, including OGE Energy and CenterPoint Energy and their other subsidiaries and affiliates, are permitted to compete with us. We may enter into additional agreements in the future with OGE Energy and CenterPoint Energy relating to the purchase of additional assets, the provision of certain services to us by OGE Energy or CenterPoint Energy and other matters. In the performance of their obligations under these agreements, OGE Energy and CenterPoint Energy and their subsidiaries are not held to a fiduciary duty standard of care to us, our general partner or our limited partners, but rather to the standard of care specified in these agreements. By purchasing a common unit, the purchaser agrees to be bound by the terms of our partnership agreement, and each common unitholder is treated as having consented to various actions and potential conflicts of interest contemplated in the partnership agreement that might otherwise be considered a breach of fiduciary or other duties under applicable state law.

For a description of our other relationships with our affiliates, please read “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions.”

THE OFFERING

SUMMARY HISTORICAL AND PRO FORMA FINANCIAL AND OPERATING DATA

The following tables set forth, for the periods and as of the dates indicated, the summary historical financial and operating data of Enable Midstream Partners, LP, which is derived from the historical books and records of the partnership, the summary historical financial and operating data of Enogex, which is derived from the historical books and records of Enogex, and the pro forma financial and operating data of Enable Midstream Partners, LP. On May 1, 2013 (formation), OGE Energy and ArcLight indirectly contributed 100% of the equity interests in Enogex to the partnership in exchange for common units and, for OGE Energy only, interests in our general partner. The transaction was considered a business combination for accounting purposes, with the partnership considered the acquirer of Enogex. Subsequent to May 1, 2013, the financial and operating data of the partnership are consolidated to reflect the acquisition of Enogex and the retention of certain assets and liabilities by CenterPoint Energy. The following tables should be read together with, and are qualified in their entirety by reference to, the historical and unaudited pro forma combined and consolidated financial statements, as applicable, and the accompanying notes included elsewhere in this prospectus.

The summary historical financial and operating data of Enable Midstream Partners, LP for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 and balance sheet data as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 is derived from and should be read in conjunction with the audited historical combined financial statements of the partnership included elsewhere in this prospectus. The operating data for all periods is unaudited. The following table should be read together with “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”

The summary historical financial and operating data of Enogex for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 and balance sheet data as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 is derived from and should be read in conjunction with the audited historical consolidated financial statements of Enogex included elsewhere in this prospectus. The operating data for all periods is unaudited.

The summary unaudited pro forma financial and operating data is derived from and should be read in conjunction with the unaudited pro forma combined financial statements of Enable Midstream Partners, LP included elsewhere in this prospectus. The pro forma balance sheet assumes that the offering occurred as of September 30, 2013 and the pro forma condensed combined statements of income for the year ended December 31, 2012 and the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 assume that our formation transactions and this offering, with respect to unit and per unit information, occurred as of January 1, 2012. These transactions include, and the pro forma financial data gives effect to, the following:

The pro forma financial data does not give effect to the estimated $3 million in incremental annual operation and maintenance expense we expect to incur as a result of being a publicly traded partnership. The pro forma financial data does not give effect to any potential cost savings or other operating efficiencies from the integration of the partnership and Enogex. The pro forma financial data does not reflect adjustments for the execution of service agreements with CenterPoint Energy and OGE Energy upon formation since the costs under these service agreements were previously incurred by the partnership and Enogex on a similar basis. The pro forma financial data does not adjust for acquisition related costs since the partnership incurred no acquisition related costs in the Condensed Combined and Consolidated Statement of Income during any period presented based upon the terms in the master formation agreement. For a description of the step acquisition gain, please refer to “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Results of Operations—Pro Forma.”

The following tables include the financial measures of gross margin, which we use as a measure of performance, Adjusted EBITDA, which we use as a measure of performance and liquidity, and distributable cash flow, which we use as a measure of liquidity. Gross margin, Adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow are not calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. We define gross margin as total revenues minus cost of goods sold, excluding depreciation and amortization. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income from continuing operations before interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization expense and certain other items management believes affect the comparability of operating results. For a reconciliation of gross margin, Adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow to their most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, please see “—Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”
