Gross Margin, Segment Gross Margin and Adjusted Segment Gross Margin We view our gross margin as an important performance measure of the core profitability of our operations. We review our gross margin monthly for consistency and trend analysis.

Purchases of Natural Gas and NGLs Purchases of natural gas and NGLs decreased in 2012 compared to 2011 primarily as a result of lower commodity prices, which impact both purchases and sales and timing of storage earnings recognition.

Total Operating Revenues Total operating revenues increased in 2012 compared to 2011 as result of the completion of the Wattenberg capital expansion project, increased throughput on our pipelines and our acquisition of the DJ Basin NGL Fractionators.
