Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On November 7, 2012, Copano Energy, L.L.C. ("Copano") issued a press release announcing its financial results for the third quarter of 2012. On November 8, 2012 at 10 a.m. Eastern Time, Copano will hold a webcast conference call discussing those results. A copy of the earnings release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this report. The webcast conference call will be accessible through the investor relations page of Copano's website, www.copanoenergy.com, and will be archived for 90 days.

Exhibit 99.1 includes discussion of the non-generally accepted accounting principles, or non-GAAP, financial measures of segment gross margin, total segment gross margin, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and total distributable cash flow, and provides reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as alternatives to GAAP measures such as net income, operating income, income from continuing operations, cash flows from operating activities or any other GAAP measure of liquidity or financial performance. Copano's non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, which may not calculate their measures in the same manner. Copano believes that investors and other market participants benefit from having access to the various financial and operating measures that its management uses in evaluating the company's performance.

The information in Item 2.02 and the exhibits attached to this report shall not be deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any registration statement or other filing under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act") or the Exchange Act, unless Copano expressly states that such information is to be considered "filed" under the Exchange Act or incorporates such information by specific reference in a Securities Act or Exchange Act filing.
