'MPLX continued to deliver solid results during the second quarter and we are encouraged by the improving commodity-price environment. As a result, we have increased the midpoints for our full-year 2016 financial guidance,' MPLX Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Gary R. Heminger said. 'We remain on target to achieve our 2016 distribution growth guidance of 12 to 15 percent without the need for additional dropdowns from MPC during the year.'

During the quarter, MPLX expanded its midstream presence in the Southwest with the completion of its Hidalgo gas processing complex in the Delaware Basin, which is now 80 percent utilized only three months after starting operations. In addition, the partnership increased its processing capacity and purity ethane fractionation capacity in the Marcellus Shale. MPLX continues to anticipate its Marcellus and Utica shale processing facilities will average approximately 80 percent utilization for 2016, as it expects overall processed gas volumes in the region to increase by approximately 15 percent year-over-year.

The Cornerstone Pipeline is progressing as planned, with completion expected in the fourth quarter. The partnership has also accelerated construction of a pipeline that connects its Hopedale fractionator to the Cornerstone Pipeline and expects to commence operations in the fourth quarter. With the Hopedale connection, Cornerstone Pipeline is designed to provide an industry solution to move condensate and natural gas liquids out of the Marcellus and Utica regions into Midwest refining centers and into Canada.

Commercial and engineering teams continue to evaluate synergistic projects to support producer customers in the Marcellus and Utica shale regions. Among these potential solutions are a butane-to-alkylate facility, a regional NGL export solution in the Northeast, and a long-haul pipeline to the Gulf Coast, such as a reversal of the Centennial Pipeline.

'We remain focused on optimizing capital investments and capturing commercial synergies. As commodity prices recover, optimism is growing among our producer customers, and with world-class midstream assets located in some of the best resource plays in the country, we are well-positioned to capitalize on an exceptional set of opportunities along the entire hydrocarbon value chain,' Heminger said.

MPLX also announced that Frank Semple, vice chairman of MPLX's general partner, will retire from his executive role on Oct. 31, 2016, culminating a 38-year career in the energy and telecommunications industry which followed his distinguished service in the U.S. Navy. Semple will remain on the MPLX board of directors, and will also continue to serve on the board of directors of MPLX's sponsor, Marathon Petroleum Corp. (NYSE: MPC).

'All of us on the MPLX board of directors are grateful to Frank for his service as vice chairman and his efforts to facilitate the seamless combination of MarkWest and MPLX,' Heminger said. 'Frank assembled an outstanding management team at MarkWest and provided strong leadership that created tremendous unitholder value. We are fortunate to continue to benefit from his deep knowledge of the midstream business as well as his keen focus on creating value for our unitholders as we position MPLX to continue delivering sustainable returns over the long term.'

Operational Highlights

· Commenced operations of the Hidalgo 200-million-cubic-feet-per-day cryogenic gas processing plant in May, the partnership's first facility in the highly prospective Delaware Basin in West Texas. Complex utilization is already at 80 percent.
· Commenced operations of the Mobley V 200-million-cubic-feet-per-day processing plant in the Marcellus Shale in early April.
· Increased the partnership's Northeast de-ethanization capacity to 190,000 barrels per day (Bbl/d) with the addition of a new 10,000 Bbl/d facility in the Marcellus Shale in early April. Production of purity ethane from the Marcellus and Utica shales increased 76 percent from second-quarter 2015.
· Continued construction of Cornerstone Pipeline to transport liquids production from the Marcellus and Utica shales of eastern Ohio to MPC's refinery in Canton, Ohio, providing an industry solution in the region; the pipeline is scheduled for completion in the fourth quarter.
· Commenced construction of the Hopedale connection to Cornerstone Pipeline to transport natural gasoline from the Marcellus and Utica shales to Midwest refiners, including MPC; the pipeline construction was accelerated to align with Cornerstone Pipeline's expected completion in the fourth quarter.
· Completed expansion of the Patoka-to-Robinson, Illinois, pipeline to support increased crude oil supply to MPC's Robinson, Illinois, refinery.
· Concluded the first full quarter with the inland marine business, diversifying the partnership's earnings with a fee-for-capacity contract structure.

Financial Position and Liquidity

As of June 30, MPLX had $2 billion available through its bank revolving credit facility and $500 million available through its facility with MPC. During the quarter, MPLX issued 30.8 million convertible preferred units and received net proceeds of approximately $984 million. The $1.3 billion of financing completed through this preferred unit issuance and at-the-market (ATM) equity issuances earlier in the year provide for the partnership's forecast funding needs for the remainder of 2016 and into 2017. The partnership's debt-to-pro forma adjusted EBITDA ratio was 3.7 times at June 30. MPLX remains committed to maintaining an investment-grade credit profile.

2016 Forecast

MPLX has increased the midpoints of its 2016 financial forecast for adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (adjusted EBITDA), distributable cash flow (DCF) and growth capital expenditures. Based on current estimates for operational volumes, commodity prices, and derivative instruments outstanding, our 2016 forecast is:

· Net income: $140 million to $240 million
· Adjusted EBITDA: $1.3 billion to $1.4 billion
· Net cash provided by operating activities: $1.1 billion to $1.2 billion
· Distributable cash flow (DCF): $1.0 billion to $1.1 billion
· Growth capital expenditures: $900 million to $1.2 billion
· Maintenance capital expenditures: ~$60 million
· Distribution growth rate: 12 percent to 15 percent

Guidance includes the $130 million first-half non-cash goodwill impairment charges and the $89 million second-quarter non-cash equity method impairment charge.
Non-GAAP measure calculated before the distribution to preferred units and excluding the $130 million first-half non-cash goodwill impairment charges and the $89 million second-quarter non-cash, equity method impairment charge. See reconciliation below.

Segment Results

Gathering and Processing		271				-				528				-
Segment operating income attributable to MPLX LP	$	394			$	88			$	739			$	170

See reconciliation below for details.

Logistics and Storage segment operating income increased for the second quarter of 2016 compared with the same period in 2015. The increase was primarily due to the acquisition of the inland marine business on March 31, 2016.

Gathering and Processing (G&P) segment operating income increased for the second quarter of 2016 compared with the same period in 2015. This increase is due to the acquisition of MarkWest. Further discussion is included in the G&P pro forma financial information below.

Corporate general and administrative expenses, unrealized derivative gains/losses, depreciation, amortization and impairment charges are not allocated to the reportable segments. MPLX management does not consider these items allocable to or controllable by any individual segment, and therefore, excludes these items when evaluating segment performance.

G&P Pro Forma Financial Information

For the G&P segment, the table below presents financial information, as evaluated by management, for the reported segment for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2016, and 2015. MPLX believes this June 30, 2015, pro forma quarterly data provides a useful comparison for the G&P segment in light of the December 2015 acquisition. The pro forma financial information below may not necessarily be indicative of future results. In addition, all partnership-operated, non-wholly owned subsidiaries are treated as if they are consolidated.

			Three Months Ended June 30								Six Months Ended June 30

Segment operating income attributable to G&P		$	271			$	243			$	528			$	488

Actual results.
G&P segment results incorporate pro-forma adjustments necessary to reflect a Jan. 1, 2014, acquisition date (see the reconciliations of pro forma data below).

Segment operating income attributable to G&P increased for the second quarter of 2016 compared with the pro forma results for the same period in 2015 and for the six months ended June 30, 2016, compared with the same period of 2015. These increases were primarily due to higher volumes, partially offset by decreases in natural gas and NGL prices.

Non-GAAP references
In addition to our financial information presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), management utilizes additional non-GAAP measures to facilitate comparisons of past performance and future periods. This press release and supporting schedules include the non-GAAP measures adjusted EBITDA, distributable cash flow (DCF) and distribution coverage ratio. The amount of adjusted EBITDA and DCF generated is considered by the board of directors of our general partner in approving the Partnership's cash distribution. Adjusted EBITDA and DCF should not be considered separately from or as a substitute for net income, income from operations, or cash flow as reflected in our financial statements. The GAAP measure most directly comparable to adjusted EBITDA and DCF is net income and net cash provided by operating activities. We define adjusted EBITDA as net income adjusted for (i) depreciation and amortization; (ii) provision (benefit) for income taxes; (iii) non-cash equity-based compensation; (iv) net interest and other financial costs; (v) equity investment income (loss); (vi) equity-method distributions; (vii) impairment expenses; (viii) unrealized gain/loss on commodity hedges; and (ix) acquisition costs. In general, we define DCF as adjusted EBITDA plus (i) the current period cash received/deferred revenue for committed volume deficiencies less (ii) equity investment capital expenditures paid out; (iii) net interest and other financial costs; (iv) equity investment cash contributions; (v) maintenance capital expenditures paid; (vi) volume deficiency credits recognized; and (vii) other non-cash items.

Adjusted EBITDA is a financial performance measure used by management, industry analysts, investors, lenders, and rating agencies to assess the financial performance and operating results of our ongoing business operations. Additionally, we believe adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors for trending, analyzing and benchmarking our operating results from period to period as compared to other companies that may have different financing and capital structures.

DCF is a financial performance measure used by management as a key component in the determination of cash distributions paid to unitholders. We believe DCF is an important financial measure for unitholders as an indicator of cash return on investment and to evaluate whether the partnership is generating sufficient cash flow to support quarterly distributions. In addition, DCF is commonly used by the investment community because the market value of publicly traded partnerships is based, in part, on DCF and cash distributions paid to unitholders.

Distribution coverage ratio is a financial performance measure used by management to reflect the relationship between the partnership's financial operating performance and cash distribution capability. We define the distribution coverage ratio as the ratio of DCF attributable to GP and LP unitholders to total GP and LP distribution declared.
