CorEnergy Releases Third Quarter 2015 Results

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- CorEnergy Infrastructure Trust, Inc. (NYSE: CORR, CORRPrA) (“CorEnergy” or the “Company”) today announced financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2015.

Third Quarter Developments and Subsequent Events

· Declared common stock dividend of $0.15 per share quarterly ($0.60 annualized), as expected, an 11.1% increase

· Delivered Adjusted Funds from Operations (AFFO) of $0.22 per share (basic) and $0.20 per share (diluted) in the quarter

· Reiterated CorEnergy’s long-term annual growth target of 3-5% in common stock dividends

· Recorded a non-cash provision of ~$7 million, net of taxes on Black Bison financing note

· Announced a 1-for-5 reverse stock split, expected to begin trading December 2, 2015

“CorEnergy’s third quarter results demonstrate the company’s ability to deliver upon expectations. Our lease and transportation revenues included a full quarter of rent from the Grand Isle Gathering System. Based on the increased contribution from GIGS, we raised our quarterly cash dividend by 11%, to an annualized rate of $0.60 per share,” said David Schulte, Chief Executive Officer of CorEnergy. “The stability of revenues reinforces the resiliency of CorEnergy’s strategy of investing in critical infrastructure assets that create value for our shareholders.”

Quarterly Performance Summary

Results for the third quarter of 2015 included Contribution Margin1 of $20.9 million from rent payments under leases and other revenues. Adjusted Funds from Operations (AFFO) in the third quarter of 2015 were $13.2 million, $0.22 per share (basic) and $0.20 per share (diluted), providing ample coverage of our common stock dividend of $0.15 for the third quarter.

Third quarter 2015 and third quarter 2014 results are not directly comparable, due to acquisitions and capital markets activity in both years.

NAREIT FFO, FFO and AFFO are non-GAAP measures presented in accordance with the guidelines for calculation and reporting issued by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts.

NAREIT FFO represents net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of depreciable operating property, impairment losses of depreciable properties, real estate-related depreciation, amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs or loan origination costs) and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and noncontrolling interests. Adjustments for noncontrolling interests are calculated on the same basis. FFO as we have presented it here, is derived by further adjusting NAREIT FFO for distributions received from investment securities, income tax expense (benefit) from investment securities, net distributions and dividend income and net realized and unrealized gain or loss on other equity securities. CorEnergy defines AFFO as FFO Adjusted for Securities Investment plus provision from loan losses, net of tax, transaction costs, amortization of debt issuance costs, amortization of deferred leasing costs, accretion of asset retirement obligations, income tax expense (benefit) unrelated to securities investments and provision for loan losses, above market rent, noncash costs associated with derivative instruments and certain costs of non-recurring nature, less maintenance, capital expenditures (if any) amortization of debt premium and other adjustments as deemed appropriate by management . Management uses AFFO as a measure of long-term sustainable operational performance.  A reconciliation of NAREIT FFO, FFO and AFFO, as presented, to Net income attributable to CorEnergy stockholders is included in the additional financial information attached to this press release.

Portfolio Update

Pinedale LGS: The 2015 annual adjustments for changes in the Consumer Price Index (capped at 2 percent per year) increased quarterly rent by $85 thousand for the Pinedale assets under the long-term triple net lease with operator Ultra Petroleum.
 

Portland Terminal Facility: At the end of the third quarter, CorEnergy had made approximately $9.7 million of the expected $10 million investment in construction on the site, triggering an increase of approximately $92 thousand a month in base rent under the long-term triple net lease with operator Arc Terminals.

MoGas Pipeline: On July 6, the deadline for appeal of a certification proceeding before the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) passed without appeal.  FERC’s decision to allow MoGas to include the acquisition premium in its rate base for purposes of determining initial rates was upheld.

Omega Pipeline: Omega’s previous agreement with the Department of Defense (DoD) was extended to December 31, 2015, as of September 30, 2015. Omega anticipates receiving a future notice for further extension of the bridge agreement if necessary, and is currently working to reach terms under a new 10-year agreement, with terms similar to the previous 10-year agreement.

Black Bison Financing Note: In the third quarter, CorEnergy recorded a non-cash provision for loan losses of approximately $7 million, net of tax in relation to its financing note extended to Black Bison Water Services. Black Bison continues to work through the current downturn in upstream activity in its core service territories, while maintaining its operating plan for potential growth.

Dividend Update

A third quarter common stock cash dividend of $0.15 was declared on October 28, 2015, payable on November 30, 2015. The 11.1% increase from the second quarter dividend is associated with additional cash flows in connection with the GIGS acquisition. CorEnergy maintains a quarterly common stock dividend payment cycle of February, May, August and November. Dividend payouts may be affected by cash flow requirements and remain subject to other risks and uncertainties.

For the 7.375% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, a cash dividend of $0.4609375 per depositary share was declared for the third quarter, payable on November 30, 2015. The preferred dividends, which equate to an annual payment of $1.84375 per depositary share, are paid on or about the last day of August, November, February and May.

Outlook

CorEnergy expects its energy infrastructure portfolio – the GIGS, Pinedale LGS, MoGas Pipeline, Portland Terminal Facility and Omega Pipeline – to produce stable, recurring revenues going forward. The Company believes these cash flows will support sustainable dividend payments of $0.60 per share annualized, as well as a long-term dividend growth target of 1-3% annually from existing contracts, and 3-5% inclusive of acquisitions over the long run.

The Company is evaluating a broad set of infrastructure opportunities in the range of $50 to $250 million per project. There can be no assurance that any of these acquisition opportunities will result in consummated transactions.

Reverse Stock Split

Today, CorEnergy is announcing that its Board of Directors has approved a 1-for-5 reverse stock split of its outstanding shares of common stock. The reverse stock split is scheduled to take effect at approximately 5:00 pm Eastern Time on December 1, 2015 (the “Effective Time”).  At the Effective Time, every 5 issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company will be converted into one share of common stock of the Company.  The par value of each share of common stock and the number of CorEnergy’s authorized shares of common stock will remain unchanged.  The shares are expected to begin trading on a split-adjusted basis at market open on December 2, 2015. Trading in the common stock will continue on the NYSE under the symbol “CORR” but the security will be assigned a new CUSIP number.  The Company believes that existing stockholders will benefit from the ability to attract a broader range of investors as result of the reverse stock split and a higher per share stock price.

Following the Effective Date of the reverse stock split, dividends per share are expected to be $.75 per quarter, or $3.00 annualized, reflecting the 1-for-5 reverse stock split. Common shares outstanding will decrease to 11,924,148 from 59,620,742 (at September 30, 2015).  The reverse stock split will not have an effect on the dividend payable on November 30, 2015, to shareholders of record on November 13, 2015.  As noted above, dividend payouts may be affected by cash flow requirements and remain subject to other risks and uncertainties.

No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the reverse stock split. Instead, each stockholder that otherwise would receive fractional shares will be entitled to receive, in lieu of such fractional shares, cash in an amount determined on the basis of the closing price of CorEnergy’s common stock on the NYSE on December 1, 2015. The reverse stock split will apply to all of CorEnergy’s outstanding shares of common stock as of the Effective Time. Stockholders of record will be receiving information from Computershare Investor Services, CorEnergy’s transfer agent, regarding their stock ownership following the reverse stock split and cash in lieu of fractional share payments, if applicable. Stockholders who hold their shares in brokerage accounts or “street name” are not required to take any action in connection with the reverse stock split.

All statements, other than statements of historical fact, included herein are "forward-looking statements." Although CorEnergy believes that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, they do involve assumptions, risks and uncertainties, and these expectations may prove to be incorrect.
