Item 8.01. Other Events.
This Current Report on Form 8-K is being filed principally to reflect certain retrospective revisions for changes in reportable segments that have been made to the consolidated financial statements of Energy Transfer Equity, L.P. (“ETE” or the “Partnership”) that were previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission by the Partnership on February 27, 2014 as Items 1, 7 and 8 to its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 (the “2013 Form 10-K”). ETE began reporting comparative results using the revised segment presentation effective with the filing of its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2014.
As a result of the transaction that was consummated between ETE and Energy Transfer Partners, L.P. (“ETP”) on February 19, 2014, ETE's reportable segments in its consolidated financial statements were re-evaluated. Beginning with ETE's Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2014, ETE's reportable segments now consist of the following:
| |
• | Investment in ETP, including the consolidated operations of ETP; |
| |
• | Investment in Regency, including the consolidated operations of Regency Energy Partners LP (“Regency”); |
| |
• | Investment in Trunkline LNG, including the operations of Trunkline LNG Company, LLC (“Trunkline LNG”); and |
In order to preserve the nature and character of the disclosures set forth in the 2013 Form 10-K, the items included in this Form 8-K have been updated solely for matters relating specifically to the realignment of ETE's reportable segments, as described above. No attempt has been made in the audited financial statements included in Exhibit 99.1 in this Form 8-K, and it should not be read, to modify or update other disclosures as presented in the 2013 Form 10-K to reflect events or occurrences after the date of the filing of the 2013 Form 10-K, February 27, 2014. Therefore, this Form 8-K should be read in conjunction with the Form 10-K, and filings made by ETE with the SEC subsequent to the filing of the Form 10-K, including ETE's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2014 filed on May 8, 2014.
Item 9.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K revises certain information contained in ETE's 2013 Form 10-K to reflect these changes in reportable segments. In particular, Exhibit 99.1 contains a revised description of the ETE’s business segments, financial statements and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
