CROSSTEX ENERGY REPORTS FIRST-QUARTER 2007 RESULTS

DALLAS, May 10, 2007 — The Crosstex Energy companies, Crosstex Energy, L.P. (NASDAQ: XTEX) (the Partnership) and Crosstex Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ: XTXI) (the Corporation) today reported earnings for the first-quarter 2007.

First-Quarter 2007 — Crosstex Energy, L.P. Financial Results

The Partnership reported a net loss of $5.3 million in the first quarter of 2007, compared with net income of $2.0 million in the first-quarter 2006. The Partnership’s distributable cash flow in the first quarter of 2007 was $17.9 million, or 2.63 times the amount required to cover its minimum quarterly distribution of $0.25 per unit and .86 times the amount required to cover its current distribution of $0.56 per unit. Distributable cash flow was $18.7 million in the first quarter of 2006. Distributable cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure and is explained in greater detail under “Non-GAAP Financial Information.” There is a reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure to net income in the tables at the end of this news release.

“The year 2007 is a building year for Crosstex because the North Texas asset base we are developing has required significant front-loaded capital investment for us, with cash flows building over time after the investment is made. As a result of this investment, we believe we will be able to sustain significant cash flow growth for many years to come; however, we are in the early stage of our cash flow growth,” said Barry E. Davis, Crosstex President and Chief Executive Officer.

The investment in North Texas assets has caused interest expense to increase to $17.3 million in the first quarter of 2007 from $8.5 million in the first quarter of 2006. The rise in interest expense is the primary reason that distributable cash flow declined from 2006. As 2007 progresses, cash flow from North Texas is expected to continue to grow rapidly, while interest expense stabilizes. In addition, the Partnership completed a $100 million private placement of equity in March 2007 that reduced debt.

“Further growth will come from the expansion of our pipeline system in North Louisiana — what we call the Red River Lateral — which began flowing gas April 1. These cash flows will supplement the cash flow growth in North Texas beginning in the second quarter,” added Davis.

First-quarter 2007 gross margin increased to $72.5 million from $58.2 million in the first-quarter 2006. Crosstex’s North Texas Pipeline and Gathering System, which were not operational in the first-quarter 2006, contributed $13.9 million to gross margin in the first-quarter 2007. Crosstex’s volumes on its North Texas Gathering System were 240 million cubic feet of gas per day (MMcf/d) in the first quarter 2007. In March 2007, North Texas Gathering System volumes were 265 MMcf/d compared with 115 MMcf/d when the company acquired the assets in June 2006, a 130% increase in nine months. The North Texas Pipeline’s throughput averaged 170 MMcf/d in the first-quarter 2007 and 215 MMcf/d in March 2007. Crosstex plans to expand the capacity of this pipeline to 375 MMcf/d in the second-quarter 2007.

Operating expenses were $27.4 million in the first quarter of 2007 compared with $22.0 million in the first-quarter 2006. The increase was primarily associated with North Texas assets placed in service after the first-quarter 2006. General and administrative expenses in the first-quarter 2007 rose to $12.0 million from $11.4 million in the first-quarter 2006 primarily due to increased stock-based compensation.

The net loss per limited partner unit in the first quarter of 2007 was $0.36 per unit versus a net loss of $0.08 per unit in the first quarter of 2006. The loss per limited partner unit was impacted by the preferential allocation of net income to the general partner of $4.2 million in the first quarter of 2007, which represented the general partner’s incentive distribution rights less certain stock-based compensation costs. This allocation increased the limited partners’ share of the net loss to $9.4 million in the quarter.

First-Quarter 2007 — Crosstex Energy, Inc. Financial Results

The Corporation reported net income of $0.1 million for the first quarter of 2007 compared with net income of $12.8 million for the comparable period in 2006. In the first-quarter 2006, the Partnership’s Series B subordinated units converted to common units. The Corporation’s net income in the first-quarter 2006 included a $10.8 million noncash gain as a result of the conversion. The Corporation’s net loss before gain on issuance of partnership units, income taxes and interest of noncontrolling partners in the net income of the Partnership was $5.6 million in the first quarter of 2007, compared with net income of $2.0 million in the first quarter of 2006.

The Corporation’s share of Partnership distributions, including distributions on the Corporation’s 10 million participating limited partner units, its two percent general partner interest and the incentive distribution rights, was $11.5 million in the first quarter of 2007. Its share of Partnership distributions in the first quarter of 2006 was $10.4 million.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

This press release contains a non-generally accepted accounting principle financial measure that we refer to as Distributable Cash Flow. Distributable Cash Flow includes earnings before noncash charges, less maintenance capital expenditures and amortization of costs of certain derivatives (puts). The amounts included in the calculation of these measures are computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), with the exception of maintenance capital expenditures and the amortization of put premiums. Maintenance capital expenditures are capital expenditures made to replace partially or fully depreciated assets in order to maintain the existing operating capacity of our assets and to extend their useful lives. The puts were acquired to hedge the future price of certain natural gas liquids. The net cost of the puts is being amortized against Distributable Cash Flow over their life.

We believe this measure is useful to investors because it may provide users of this financial information with meaningful comparisons between current results and prior reported results and a meaningful measure of the Partnership’s cash flow after it has satisfied the capital and related requirements of its operations. Distributable Cash Flow is not a measure of financial performance or liquidity under GAAP. It should not be considered in isolation or as an indicator of the Partnership’s performance. Furthermore, it should not be seen as a measure of liquidity or a substitute for metrics prepared in accordance with GAAP. Our reconciliation of this measure to net income is included among the following tables.

This press release contains forward-looking statements identified by the use of words such as “forecast,” “anticipate,” “expect” and “estimate.” These statements are based on currently available information and assumptions and expectations that the Partnership and the Corporation believe are reasonable. However, the Partnership’s and the Corporation’s assumptions and expectations are subject to a wide range of business risks, so they can give no assurance that actual performance will fall within the forecast ranges. Among the key risks that may bear directly on the Partnership’s and the Corporation’s results of operations and financial condition are: (1) the amount of natural gas transported in the Partnership’s gathering and transmission lines may decline as a result of competition for supplies, reserve declines and reduction in demand from key customers and markets; (2) the level of the Partnership’s processing and treating operations may decline for similar reasons; (3) fluctuations in natural gas and NGL prices may occur due to weather and other natural and economic forces; (4) there may be a failure to successfully integrate new acquisitions; (5) the Partnership’s credit risk management efforts may fail to adequately protect against customer nonpayment; (6) the Partnership may not adequately address construction and operating risks and (7) other factors discussed in the Partnership’s and the Corporation’s Form 10-K’s for the year ended December 31, 2006 and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Partnership and the Corporation have no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.
