FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 

Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. Reports

Third-Quarter 2012 Results

 

(Houston — November 5, 2012) Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. (NYSE: PAA) today reported net income attributable to Plains for the third quarter of 2012 of $165 million, or $0.27 per diluted limited partner unit.  These results include the impact of non-cash asset impairment charges totaling $125 million, primarily related to the Partnership’s determination not to proceed with the development of the Pier 400 terminal project in California.  Such results compare to net income attributable to Plains of $281 million, or $0.74 per diluted limited partner unit for the third quarter of 2011.  The Partnership reported earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) of $470 million for the third quarter of 2012, compared to reported EBITDA of $421 million for the third quarter of 2011.

 

The Partnership’s reported results include the impact of items that affect comparability between reporting periods.   The impact of items impacting comparability are excluded from adjusted results, as detailed in the table below. Accordingly, the Partnership’s third-quarter 2012 adjusted net income attributable to Plains, adjusted net income per diluted limited partner unit and adjusted EBITDA were $322 million, $0.73 and $502 million, respectively.  The comparable amounts for the third quarter of 2011 were $274 million, $0.71 and $414 million. (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 their reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP measures.)

 

“Continuing a multi-quarter trend, PAA delivered strong adjusted results for the third quarter of 2012,” said Greg L. Armstrong, Chairman and CEO of Plains All American.  “The environment for crude oil production growth in North America remains very favorable and we continue to experience strong demand for our assets and services. As a result, we have increased our midpoint guidance for adjusted EBITDA to slightly over $2 billion for the full year of 2012, representing a 7% increase over our previous guidance midpoint for 2012.

 

“We are also expanding our asset base to meet the growing needs of our customers.  Thus far in 2012, we have invested approximately $2.5 billion in organic growth projects and acquisitions and expect to incrementally invest over $1 billion in organic growth projects through the end of 2013.  These investments provide meaningful visibility for increased baseline cash flow and distributions to unitholders.”

 

Armstrong added, “In addition to delivering solid operating and financial results, we ended the quarter with a strong balance sheet, credit metrics favorable to our targets and approximately $2.4 billion of committed liquidity.  As a result, we are well positioned to finance our growth while maintaining a solid financial position.”

(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. Includes acquisition-related expenses for both the 2012 and 2011 periods.

(3)             Certain of our non-GAAP financial measures may not be impacted by each of the selected items impacting comparability.

Adjusted Transportation segment profit in the third quarter of 2012 increased by 23% over comparable 2011 results.  This increase was primarily driven by higher revenues from acquisitions completed late in 2011 and early in 2012, organic growth capacity expansions, increased pipeline volumes and higher average pipeline tariffs.  These increases in revenue were partially offset by higher operating and general and administrative expenses, commensurate with the growth of the business.

 

Adjusted Facilities segment profit in the third quarter of 2012 increased 48% over comparable 2011 results.  This increased profitability is primarily related to capacity additions from the BP NGL acquisition and recently completed organic growth projects.

 

Adjusted Supply and Logistics segment profit in the third quarter of 2012 increased 5% over comparable 2011 results.  This increase was primarily due to favorable crude oil market conditions and increased crude oil lease gathering and NGL sales volumes.

 

The Partnership’s basic weighted average units outstanding for the third quarter of 2012 was 329 million units (331 million diluted) as compared to 299 million units (300 million diluted) in last year’s third quarter.  At the end of the third quarter, the Partnership had approximately 331.6 million units outstanding. These amounts have been adjusted for the two-for-one unit split effected on October 1, 2012.  The Partnership had long-term debt of approximately $5.8 billion and a long-term debt-to-total capitalization ratio of 46% at the end of the third quarter.

 

The Partnership has declared a quarterly distribution of $0.5425 per unit ($2.17 per unit on an annualized basis) payable November 14, 2012, on its outstanding limited partner units.  This distribution represents an increase of approximately 9.0% over the quarterly distribution paid in November 2011 and an increase of approximately 1.9% over the quarterly distribution paid in August 2012.

 

The Partnership will hold a conference call at 9:00 AM (Central) on November 6, 2012 (see details below).  Prior to this 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 fourth-quarter and full-year 2012 as well as preliminary financial guidance for 2013.  A copy of the Form 8-K will be available on the Partnership’s website at www.paalp.com.

 

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

To supplement our financial information presented in accordance with GAAP, management uses additional measures that are known as “non-GAAP financial measures” in its evaluation of past performance and prospects for the future. These measures include adjusted EBITDA and implied distributable cash flow (“DCF”).  Management believes that the presentation of such additional financial measures provides useful information to investors regarding our performance and results of operations because these measures, when used in conjunction with related GAAP financial measures, (i) provide additional information about our core operating performance and ability to generate and distribute cash flow, (ii) provide investors with the financial analytical framework upon which management bases financial, operational, compensation and planning decisions and (iii) present measurements that investors, rating agencies and debt holders have indicated are useful in assessing us and our results of operations. These measures may exclude, for example, (i) charges for obligations that are expected to be settled with the issuance of equity instruments, (ii) the mark-to-market of derivative instruments that are related to underlying activities in another period (or the reversal of such adjustments from a prior period), (iii) items that are not indicative of our core operating results and business outlook and/or (iv) other items that we believe should be excluded in understanding our core operating performance. We have defined all such items as “Selected Items Impacting Comparability.” These additional financial measures are reconciled from the most directly comparable measures as reported in accordance with GAAP, and should be viewed in addition to, and not in lieu of, our consolidated financial statements and footnotes.

 

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. A full analysis of 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.

Forward Looking Statements

 

Except for the historical information contained herein, the matters discussed in this release are forward-looking statements that involve certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from results anticipated in the forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, among other things, the successful integration and future performance of acquired assets or businesses and the risks associated with operating in lines of business that are distinct and separate from our historical operations; failure to implement or capitalize, or delays in implementing or capitalizing, on planned internal growth projects; unanticipated changes in crude oil market structure, grade differentials and volatility (or lack thereof); maintenance of our credit rating and ability to receive open credit from our suppliers and trade counterparties; continued creditworthiness of, and performance by, our counterparties, including financial institutions and trading companies with which we do business; the effectiveness of our risk management activities; environmental liabilities or events that are not covered by an indemnity, insurance or existing reserves; abrupt or severe declines or interruptions in outer continental shelf production located offshore California and transported on our pipeline systems; shortages or cost increases of supplies, materials or labor; the availability of adequate third-party production volumes for transportation and marketing in the areas in which we operate and other factors that could cause declines in volumes shipped on our pipelines by us and third-party shippers, such as declines in production from existing oil and gas reserves or failure to develop additional oil and gas reserves; fluctuations in refinery capacity in areas supplied by our mainlines and other factors affecting demand for various grades of crude oil, refined products and natural gas and resulting changes in pricing conditions or transportation throughput requirements; the availability of, and our ability to consummate, acquisition or combination opportunities; our ability to obtain debt or equity financing on satisfactory terms to fund additional acquisitions, expansion projects, working capital requirements and the repayment or refinancing of indebtedness; the impact of current and future laws, rulings, governmental regulations, accounting standards and statements and related interpretations; the effects of competition; interruptions in service on third-party pipelines; increased costs or lack of availability of insurance; fluctuations in the debt and equity markets, including the price of our units at the time of vesting under our long-term incentive plans; the currency exchange rate of the Canadian dollar; weather interference with business operations or project construction; risks related to the development and operation of natural gas storage facilities; factors affecting demand for natural gas and natural gas storage services and rates; general economic, market or business conditions and the amplification of other risks caused by volatile financial markets, capital constraints and pervasive liquidity concerns; and other factors and uncertainties inherent in the transportation, storage, terminalling and marketing of crude oil and refined products, as well as in the storage of natural gas and the processing, transportation, fractionation, storage and marketing of natural gas liquids discussed in the Partnership’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

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

(2)             The aggregate of multiple systems in the respective areas.

(3)             Facilities total is calculated as the sum of: (i) crude oil, refined products and NGL storage capacity; (ii) natural gas storage capacity divided by 6 to account for the 6:1 mcf of gas to crude Btu equivalent ratio and further divided by 1,000 to convert to monthly volumes in millions; and (iii) NGL fractionation volumes multiplied by the number of days in the period and divided by the number of months in the period.

(1)       Unit and per-unit amounts are presented as adjusted for the two-for-one unit split effected on October 1, 2012.

(2)       We calculate net income available to limited partners based on the distributions pertaining to the current period’s net income.  After adjusting for the appropriate period’s distributions, the remaining undistributed earnings or excess distributions over earnings, if any, are allocated to the general partner, limited partners and participating securities in accordance with the contractual terms of the partnership agreement and as further prescribed under the two-class method.

(3)       Our LTIP awards that contemplate the issuance of common units are considered dilutive unless (i) vesting occurs only upon the satisfaction of a performance condition and (ii) that performance condition has yet to be satisfied. LTIP awards that are deemed to be dilutive are reduced by a hypothetical unit repurchase based on the remaining unamortized fair value, as prescribed by the treasury stock method in guidance issued by the FASB.
