Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. Reports

 Solid First-Quarter 2010 Results

 

(Houston — May 5, 2010) Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. (NYSE: PAA) today reported net income of $151 million, or $0.80 per diluted limited partner unit, for the first quarter of 2010 as compared to net income for the first quarter 2009 of $211 million, or $1.41 per diluted limited partner unit. The Partnership reported earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) of $276 million for the first quarter 2010, compared with reported EBITDA of $321 million for the first quarter 2009.

 

The Partnership’s reported results include the impact of items that affect comparability between reporting periods. These items are excluded from adjusted results, as further described in the table below.  Accordingly, the Partnership’s first-quarter 2010 adjusted net income, adjusted net income per diluted limited partner unit and adjusted EBITDA were $147 million, $0.77 and $272 million, respectively, as compared to first-quarter 2009 adjusted net income, adjusted net income per diluted limited partner unit and adjusted EBITDA of $162 million, $1.02 and $272 million, respectively. (See the section of this release entitled “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and the attached tables for discussion of EBITDA and other non-GAAP financial measures, and reconciliations of such measures to the comparable GAAP measures.)

 

“Plains All American delivered solid financial results that were favorable to our first quarter guidance range, marking the thirty-third consecutive quarter of delivering performance in line with our quarterly guidance,” said Greg L. Armstrong, Chairman and CEO of Plains All American.  “We also successfully executed the initial public offering of PAA Natural Gas Storage and advanced several projects included in our 2010 capital program, including completion of the Phase VII storage expansion at Cushing, Oklahoma and dock construction at our St. James, Louisiana terminal facility.”

 

Armstrong continued, “We also ended the quarter with a strong balance sheet and approximately $1.1 billion of committed liquidity.  This solid financial position was further enhanced by the completion of the PNG IPO transaction.  Pro forma for the IPO, Plains All American’s consolidated liquidity at March 31, 2010 increased to approximately $1.7 billion.”

 

The following table summarizes selected items that the Partnership believes impact comparability of financial results between reporting periods (amounts in millions, except per unit amounts):

(1)                           Includes intersegment amounts.

(2)                           Segment general and administrative expenses (G&A) reflect direct costs attributable to each segment and an allocation of other expenses to the segments based on the business activities that existed at that time.  The proportional allocations by segment require judgment by management and will continue to be based on the business activities that exist during each period.

(3)                           The equity compensation charges for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 exclude the portion of the equity compensation expense represented by grants under the LTIP Plans that, pursuant to the terms of the grant, will be settled in cash only and have no impact on diluted units.  The portion of the equity compensation expense attributable to the cash portion of the LTIP Plans is approximately $5 million and less than $2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

(4)                           Gains and losses from derivative activities related to revalued inventory are included in the line item “Inventory valuation adjustments net of (gains)/losses from related derivative activities;” gains and losses from derivative activities not related to revalued inventory are included in the line item “Gains/(losses) from other derivative activities.”

(5)                           Gains and losses from other derivative activities for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 include gains of less than $1 million and approximately $3 million, respectively, related to interest rate derivatives, which are included in other income/(expense), net and interest expense, but do not impact segment profit.

 

Adjusted segment profit for the Transportation segment for the first quarter of 2010 increased 15% over comparable 2009 results primarily due to increased revenue from higher average tariff activities and pipeline loss allowance revenue, partially offset by a 4% decline in volumes.

 

Adjusted segment profit for the Facilities segment for the first quarter of 2010 increased 30% over comparable 2009 results, primarily due to recent acquisitions and expansion projects.

 

Adjusted segment profit for the Supply & Logistics segment for the first quarter of 2010 decreased 26% when compared to first quarter 2009 results.  This decrease reflects contango-market-related overperformance in the first quarter 2009 combined with less favorable crude oil differentials and lower LPG margins in the first quarter of 2010.

The Partnership’s basic weighted average units outstanding for the first quarter of 2010 totaled 136 million (137 million diluted) as compared to 124 million (125 million diluted) in last year’s first quarter. At March 31, 2010, the Partnership had approximately 136.1 million units outstanding, long-term debt of approximately $4.1 billion ($209 million of which supports hedged inventory) and an adjusted long-term debt-to-total capitalization ratio of 48%.

 

The Partnership has declared a quarterly distribution of $0.935 per unit ($3.74 per unit on an annualized basis) payable May 14, 2010 on its outstanding limited partner units.  This distribution represents an increase of approximately 3.3% over the quarterly distribution paid in May 2009 and an increase of approximately 0.8% from the February 2010 distribution level.

 

Prior to its May 6th conference call, the Partnership will furnish a current report on Form 8-K, which will include material in this press release and financial and operational guidance for the first quarter and full year 2010. A copy of the Form 8-K will be available on the Partnership’s website at www.paalp.com.

 

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

In this release, the Partnership’s EBITDA disclosure is not presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and is not intended to be used in lieu of GAAP presentations of net income or cash flows from operating activities. EBITDA is presented because we believe it provides additional information with respect to both the performance of our fundamental business activities as well as our ability to meet our future debt service, capital expenditures and working capital requirements. We also believe that debt holders commonly use EBITDA to analyze Partnership performance. In addition, we present selected items that impact the comparability of our operating results as additional information that may be helpful to your understanding of our financial results. We consider an understanding of these selected items impacting comparability to be material to our evaluation of our operating results and prospects. Although we present selected items that we consider in evaluating our performance, you should also be aware that the items presented do not represent all items that affect comparability between the periods presented. Variations in our operating results are also caused by changes in volumes, prices, exchange rates, mechanical interruptions, acquisitions and numerous other factors. These types of variations are not separately identified in this release, but will be discussed, as applicable, in management’s discussion and analysis of operating results in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

 

A reconciliation of net income to EBITDA and EBITDA to cash flows from operating activities for the periods presented is included in the tables attached to this release. In addition, the Partnership maintains on its website (www.paalp.com) a reconciliation of all non-GAAP financial information, such as EBITDA, to the most comparable GAAP measures. To access the information, investors should click on the “Investor Relations” link on the Partnership’s home page and then the “Non-GAAP Reconciliation” link on the Investor Relations page.

Volumes associated with acquisitions represent total volumes for the number of days we actually owned the assets divided by the number of days in the period.

(2)

The aggregate of multiple systems in the respective areas.

(3)

In September 2009, we acquired the remaining 50% indirect interest in PAA Natural Gas Storage, LLC (“PNGS”) from Vulcan Gas Storage LLC, which resulted in our 100% ownership of the natural gas storage business and related operating entities. Therefore, natural gas storage volumes for the first quarter of 2009 are netted to our 50% interest in PNGS. Volumes for the first quarter of 2010 represent our 100% interest in PNGS.

(4)

Facilities total is calculated as the sum of: (i) crude oil, refined products and LPG storage capacity; (ii) natural gas storage capacity divided by 6 to account for the 6:1 mcf of gas to crude oil barrel ratio; and (iii) LPG processing volumes multiplied by the number of days in the period and divided by the number of months in the period.

(1)                                     We calculate net income available to limited partners based on the distribution paid during the current quarter (including the incentive distribution interest in excess of the 2% general partner interest).  However, FASB guidance requires that the distribution pertaining to the current period’s net income, which is to be paid in the subsequent quarter, be utilized in the earnings per unit calculation.  After adjusting for this distribution, the remaining undistributed earnings or excess distributions over earnings, if any, are allocated to the general partner and limited partners in accordance with the contractual terms of the partnership agreement for earnings per unit calculation purposes.  We reflect the impact of the difference in (i) the distribution utilized and (ii) the calculation of the excess 2% general partner interest as the “Adjustment in accordance with application of the two-class method for MLPs.”
