LOS ANGELES, November 6, 2013 -- BreitBurn Energy Partners L.P. (the “Partnership”) (NASDAQ:BBEP) today announced record financial and operating results for the third quarter of 2013 and conversion to a monthly distribution payment policy beginning in January 2014.

 

Selected Results for the Quarter Included the Following:

 

-Increased total net production to a quarterly record high of 3.1 MMBoe, which represented a 43% increase from the third quarter of 2012.
-Increased liquids production to a quarterly record high of 1.9 MMBoe, which represented a 94% increase from the third quarter of 2012.

-Drilled 54 wells and completed 19 workovers, which in total added incremental net initial production of approximately 2,730 Boe/day.
-Declared a cash distribution for the third quarter of 2013 of $0.4875 per unit, or $1.95 per unit on an annualized basis, on October 30, 2013, which represented a 4.8% increase from the third quarter of 2012. The distribution will be paid on November 14, 2013 to unitholders of record on November 11, 2013.
-Completed acquisitions of oil and gas properties and associated midstream assets in the Oklahoma Panhandle and New Mexico in July 2013 for approximately $864 million, subject to customary purchase price adjustments.

-Reported distribution coverage ratio of 1.3x for the third quarter of 2013.

 

Management Commentary

 

Halbert Washburn, CEO, said: “We delivered another solid quarter with record production and Adjusted EBITDA. The strong performance this quarter positions us to deliver on the second half 2013 guidance we announced in June. As expected, we significantly increased liquids production with the addition of our recently acquired assets in Oklahoma and New Mexico and the continued success of our 2013 capital program. Oil and natural gas liquids accounted for 61% of total net production in the quarter, up from approximately 45% of total net production one year ago. We are also pleased to announce that beginning in January of 2014, we will commence paying distributions on a monthly rather than quarterly basis. This change is designed to more efficiently return capital to investors and satisfy growing demand for investment options paying monthly distributions. We believe that being responsive to our investors is an important part of our business.”

 

Conversion to Monthly Distribution Payment Policy, Beginning January 2014

 

The Board of Directors has approved a change in the Partnership’s distribution payment policy from a quarterly payment schedule to a monthly payment schedule beginning with the distributions relating to the fourth quarter of 2013. The payment of monthly distributions is expected to commence in January 2014.

 

Subject to declaration by the Board of Directors, the table below illustrates the expected monthly payment schedule for the distributions relating to the fourth quarter of 2013, which will be paid during the first quarter of 2014. We expect payment of distributions to continue on a similar schedule in the future.

Third Quarter 2013 Operating and Financial Results Compared to Second Quarter 2013

 

-Total production increased to a record quarterly high of 3,098 MBoe in the third quarter of 2013, up from 2,453 MBoe in the second quarter of 2013. Average daily production was 33.7 MBoe/day in the third quarter of 2013 compared to 27.0 MBoe/day in the second quarter of 2013.
oOil and NGL production was 1,888 MBoe compared to 1,287 MBoe in the second quarter of 2013.
oNatural gas production was 7,258 MMcf compared to 6,994 MMcf in the second quarter of 2013.
-Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, was $112.1 million in the third quarter of 2013 compared to $84.8 million in the second quarter of 2013. The increase was due to higher crude oil and natural gas production from the Oklahoma properties acquired in July, increased production from our 2013 capital program, and higher overall realized crude oil prices, partially offset by lower realized natural gas prices.
-Pre-tax lease operating expenses, which include district expenses, processing fees and transportation costs, were $18.96 per Boe in the third quarter of 2013 compared to $19.79 per Boe in the second quarter of 2013.
-General and administrative expenses, excluding non-cash unit-based compensation, were $3.62 per Boe in the third quarter of 2013 compared to $3.56 per Boe in the second quarter of 2013.
-Oil, NGL, and natural gas sales revenues were $197.4 million in the third quarter of 2013, up from $149.3 million in the second quarter of 2013, primarily reflecting higher crude oil and natural gas sales volumes and higher realized crude oil prices, partially offset by lower realized natural gas prices.
-Losses on commodity derivative instruments were $54.8 million in the third quarter of 2013 compared to gains of $67.0 million in the second quarter of 2013, which primarily reflected an increase in crude oil futures prices during the third quarter of 2013. Derivative instrument settlement payments were $6.3 million in the third quarter of 2013 compared to settlement receipts of $4.8 million in the second quarter of 2013.
-NYMEX WTI crude oil spot prices averaged $105.83 per barrel and Brent crude oil spot prices averaged $110.23 per barrel in the third quarter of 2013 compared to $94.05 per barrel and $102.57 per barrel, respectively, in the second quarter of 2013. Henry Hub natural gas spot prices averaged $3.56 per Mcf in the third quarter of 2013 compared to $4.02 per Mcf in the second quarter of 2013.
-Realized crude oil and NGL prices, excluding the effects of commodity derivative settlements, averaged $93.73 per Boe and realized natural gas prices, excluding the effects of commodity instruments, averaged $3.69 per Mcf in the third quarter of 2013, compared to $87.82 per Boe and $4.22 per Mcf, respectively, in the second quarter of 2013.
-Net loss attributable to the Partnership, including the effect of derivative instruments, was $25.0 million, or $0.25 per diluted common unit, in the third quarter of 2013, compared to a net income of $76.4 million, or $0.75 per diluted common unit, in the second quarter of 2013.
-Oil and gas capital expenditures totaled $87 million in the third quarter of 2013 compared to $65 million in the second quarter of 2013.
-Distributable cash flow, a non-GAAP financial measure, was $64.6 million in the third quarter of 2013 compared to $48.2 million in the second quarter of 2013. Distributable cash flow per common unit was $0.64 in the third quarter of 2013 compared to $0.48 in the second quarter of 2013.

 

Impact of Derivative Instruments

 

The Partnership uses commodity derivative instruments to mitigate the risks associated with commodity price volatility and to help maintain cash flows for operating activities, acquisitions, capital expenditures and distributions. The Partnership does not enter into derivative instruments for speculative trading purposes. Because the Partnership does not use hedge accounting to account for its derivative instruments, changes in the fair value of derivative instruments are recorded in earnings each reporting period. These non-cash changes in the fair value of derivatives do not affect Adjusted EBITDA, cash flow from operations, distributable cash flow or the Partnership’s ability to pay cash distributions for the reporting periods presented.

 

Total losses from commodity derivative instruments were approximately $54.8 million for the third quarter of 2013, which include $6.3 million net payments for contracts that settled during the period.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

This press release, the financial tables and other supplemental information, including the reconciliations of certain non-generally accepted accounting principles (“non-GAAP”) measures to their nearest comparable generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) measures, may be used periodically by management when discussing the Partnership's financial results with investors and analysts, and they are also available on the Partnership's website under the Investor Relations tab.

 

Among the non-GAAP financial measures used are “Adjusted EBITDA” and “distributable cash flow.” These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as alternatives to GAAP measures, such as net income, operating income, cash flow from operating activities or any other GAAP measure of liquidity or financial performance. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures enhance comparability to prior periods.

 

Adjusted EBITDA is presented as management believes it provides additional information relative to the performance of the Partnership's business, such as our ability to meet our debt covenant compliance tests. Distributable cash flow is used by management as a tool to measure the cash distributions we could pay to our unitholders.  This financial measure indicates to investors whether or not we are generating cash flow at a level that can support our distribution rate to our unitholders. These non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other publicly traded partnerships or limited liability companies because all companies may not calculate Adjusted EBITDA or distributable cash flow in the same manner.
