NGL Energy Partners LP Announces First Quarter 2016 Results

 

TULSA, Okla.—(BUSINESS WIRE)—August 10, 2015—NGL Energy Partners LP (NYSE:NGL) today reported Adjusted EBITDA of $89.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 (exclusive of $0.1 million of advisory and legal costs related to acquisitions) compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $43.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 (exclusive of $1.1 million of advisory and legal costs related to acquisitions and $2.7 million of compensation costs related to the Gavilon acquisition). This represents an increase of 106% year over year.  NGL reported a net loss of $38.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015, compared to a net loss of $39.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014.

 

“We are very pleased with NGL’s performance, delivering another solid quarter of improved Adjusted EBITDA while continuing to increase our distribution per common unit. We are very excited about our slate of internal growth projects, which will allow us to continue to deliver on our commitment to growth. In addition, we are pursuing certain acquisitions and joint venture opportunities,” said Mike Krimbill, CEO of NGL Energy Partners.

 

A conference call to discuss NGL’s results of operations is scheduled for 3:00pm Eastern Time (2:00pm Central Time) on Monday, August 10, 2015. Analysts, investors, and other interested parties may access the conference call by dialing (866) 318-8615 and providing access code 52208297. An archived audio replay of the conference call will be available for 7 days beginning at 7:00pm Eastern Time (6:00pm Central Time) on August 10, 2015 and can be accessed by dialing (888) 286-8010 and providing access code 40590712.

 

NGL defines EBITDA as net income (loss) attributable to parent equity, plus interest expense, income tax provision (benefit), and depreciation and amortization expense. NGL defines Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA excluding net unrealized gains and losses on derivatives, lower of cost or market adjustments, gain (loss) on disposal or impairment of assets, net, and equity-based compensation expense. NGL also includes in Adjusted EBITDA certain inventory valuation adjustments related to its refined products and renewables segment, as described below. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered alternatives to net income, income before income taxes, cash flows from operating activities, or any other measure of financial performance calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) as those items are used to measure operating performance, liquidity or the ability to service debt obligations. NGL believes that EBITDA provides additional information to investors for evaluating its ability to make quarterly distributions to its unitholders and is presented solely as a supplemental measure. NGL believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides additional information to investors for evaluating NGL’s financial performance without regard to financing methods, capital structure and historical cost basis. Further, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, as NGL defines them, may not be comparable to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA or similarly titled measures used by other entities.

 

Other than for its refined products and renewables segment, for purposes of its Adjusted EBITDA calculation, NGL makes a distinction between realized and unrealized gains and losses on derivatives. During the period when a derivative contract is open, NGL records changes in the fair value of the derivative as an unrealized gain or loss. When a derivative contract matures or is settled, NGL reverses the previously recorded unrealized gain or loss and records a realized gain or loss. NGL does not draw such a distinction between realized and unrealized gains and losses on derivatives of its refined products and renewables segment. The primary hedging strategy of NGL’s refined products and renewables segment is to hedge against the risk of declines in the value of inventory over the course of the contract

 



 

cycle, and many of the hedges are six months to one year in duration at inception. The “inventory valuation adjustment” row in the table below reflects the excess of the market value of the inventory of the refined products and renewables segment at the balance sheet date over its cost. NGL adds this to Adjusted EBITDA because the gains and losses associated with derivative contracts of this segment, which are intended primarily to hedge inventory holding risk, also impact Adjusted EBITDA.
