Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This presentation includes certain forward-looking statements and projections of EP Energy. EP Energy 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, including, without limitation, the supply and demand for oil, natural gas and NGLs; EP Energy’s ability to meet production volume targets; the uncertainty of estimating proved reserves and unproved resources; the future level of service and capital costs; the availability and cost of financing to fund future exploration and production operations; the success of drilling programs with regard to proved undeveloped reserves and unproved resources; EP Energy’s ability to comply with the covenants in various financing documents; EP Energy’s ability to obtain necessary governmental approvals for proposed E&P projects and to successfully construct and operate such projects; actions by the credit rating agencies; credit and performance risk of EP Energy’s lenders, trading counterparties, customers, vendors and suppliers; changes in commodity prices and basis differentials for oil and natural gas; general economic and weather conditions in geographic regions or markets served by EP Energy, or where operations of EP Energy are located, including the risk of a global recession and negative impact on oil and natural gas demand; the uncertainties associated with governmental regulation, including any potential changes in federal and state tax laws and regulation; political and currency risks associated with international operations of EP Energy; competition; and other factors described in EP Energy’s Securities and Exchange Commission filings. While EP Energy makes these statements and projections in good faith, neither EP Energy 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. EP Energy assumes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements made herein or any other forward-looking statements made by EP Energy, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. This presentation presents certain production and reserves-related information on an "equivalency" basis. Equivalent volumes are computed with natural gas converted to barrels at a ratio of six Mcf to one Bbl. These conversions are based on energy equivalency conversion methods primarily applicable at the burner tip and do not represent value equivalencies at the wellhead. Although these conversion factors are industry accepted norms, they are not reflective of price or market value differentials between product types. This presentation refers to certain non-GAAP financial measures such as “Adjusted EBITDAX“ and “Adjusted Cash Operating Costs Per Unit”. Definitions of these measures and reconciliation between U.S. GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures are included in the Appendix and EP Energy’s First Quarter 2014 Financial and Operational Reporting Package at epenergy.com.

Non-GAAP Disclosures

Disclosure of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Securities and Exchange Commission’s Regulation G applies to any public disclosure or release of material information that includes a non-GAAP financial measure. In the event of such a disclosure or release, Regulation G requires (i) the presentation of the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP and (ii) a reconciliation of the differences between the non-GAAP financial measure presented and the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.

The company uses the terms EBITDAX , Adjusted EBITDAX and adjusted cash operating costs per unit.

EBITDAX is defined as income (loss) from continuing operations plus interest and debt expense, income taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization and exploration expense. Adjusted EBITDAX is defined as EBITDAX, adjusted as applicable in the relevant period, for the net change in the fair value of derivatives (mark to market effects of financial derivatives, cash settlements and premiums paid or received related to these derivatives), impairment charges, equity earnings from our investment in Four Star (sold in September 2013), non-cash compensation expense, transition and restructuring costs, losses on extinguishment of debt, fees paid to our Sponsors, and costs associated with our initial public offering. The company believes that the presentation of EBITDAX and Adjusted EBITDAX is important to provide management and investors with (i) additional information to evaluate our ability to service debt, adjusting for items required or permitted in calculating covenant compliance under our debt agreements, (ii) an important supplemental indicator of the operational performance of our business, (iii) an additional criterion for evaluating our performance relative to our peers, (iv) additional information to measure our liquidity (before cash capital requirements and working capital needs) (v) and supplemental information to investors about certain material non-cash and/or other items that may not continue at the same level in the future. EBITDAX and Adjusted EBITDAX have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under U.S. GAAP or as an alternative to net income, income (loss) from continuing operations, operating income, net cash provided by operating activities or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP. For example, our presentation of EBITDAX may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies in our industry.

We monitor cash operating costs required to produce our oil and natural gas. Cash operating costs is a non-GAAP measure calculated on a per Boe basis and includes total operating expenses less depreciation, depletion and amortization expense, transportation costs, exploration expense, natural gas purchases, impairment charges and other expenses. Adjusted cash operating costs is a non-GAAP measure and is defined as cash operating costs less transition and restructuring costs, management, transaction and other fees paid to the Sponsors, non-cash compensation expense, and costs associated with our initial public offering. We believe cash operating costs and adjusted cash operating costs per unit are valuable measures of operating performance and efficiency; however, these measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies and are subject to several of the same limitations as analytical tools as noted in the paragraphs above.

1. The equivalent volume estimate and growth rate includes the impact of the Q2 2014 divestiture of non-core gas assets, which will be treated as discontinued operations beginning in Q2 2014. As a result, full year 2014 annual average production of approximately 3.5 Mboe/d (85 percent gas) from these assets will be excluded from reported volumes and guidance, and full year 2013 reported volumes will be reduced by approximately 4.9 Mboe/d. The impact on reported oil production from discontinued operations is expected to be minimal. ² Growth rate compares mid-point of 2014 estimated production range with 2013 actual results from continuing operations. 3Excludes $150 million capital for April 30, 2014 acquisition.

In

addition, lower gross EUR estimates and /or higher gross well costs will result in lower NPV estimates than those presented.
