Enviva Partners, LP Reports Financial Results for Second Quarter 2017

BETHESDA, MD, August 3, 2017 — Enviva Partners, LP (NYSE: EVA) (the “Partnership” or “we”) today reported financial and operating results for the second quarter of 2017.

Highlights:

·                  Generated net income of $3.9 million and adjusted EBITDA of $24.5 million for the second quarter of 2017, as compared to $9.9 million and $21.3 million, respectively, for the second quarter of 2016

·                  Declared a quarterly distribution of $0.5700 per unit, an 8.6 percent increase from the distribution paid for the second quarter of 2016

·                  Revised full-year 2017 guidance for net income to a range of $18.5 million to $22.5 million and adjusted EBITDA to a range of $103.0 million to $107.0 million, including the impact of the acquisition of the Wilmington terminal but excluding the impact of any additional drop-downs or third-party acquisitions

·                  Confirmed expected distribution for the full-year 2017 of at least $2.36 per common and subordinated unit

“With continued growth in our cash flows, we were pleased to announce our 8th consecutive distribution increase,” said John Keppler, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Enviva.  “In order to extend our leadership in a rapidly growing industry, we implemented several process improvements that temporarily reduced plant utilization.  With those enhancements largely in place, and given the robust fundamentals of the business, we remain on track to distribute at least $2.36 per unit for full-year 2017 and expect to maintain our track record of quarterly distribution growth through 2018.”

Financial Results

For the second quarter of 2017, we generated net revenue of $126.9 million, an increase of 6.0 percent, or $7.2 million, from the corresponding quarter of 2016.  Included in net revenue were product sales of $121.7 million on a volume of 628,000 metric tons of wood pellets, representing an increase of $5.4 million from the second quarter of last year.  The increase was primarily attributable to more shipments under CIF terms and a favorable contract pricing mix.  Other revenue increased to $5.3 million for the second quarter of 2017 from $3.5 million for the corresponding quarter in 2016, driven mainly by earnings on product sourced from third-party producers and sold under our off-take contracts.

For the second quarter of 2017, gross margin was $18.2 million, as compared to $19.5 million for the corresponding period in 2016, a decrease of $1.3 million.  Gross margin decreased due to higher depreciation expense and non-cash charges associated with loss on disposal of assets, partially

offset by the factors that increased net revenue.  We generated net income of $3.9 million in the second quarter of 2017, as compared to $9.9 million for the corresponding quarter of 2016.  Adjusted EBITDA improved to $24.5 million in the second quarter of 2017, a $3.2 million, or 14.8 percent, increase compared to the corresponding period in 2016.  The increase in adjusted EBITDA was driven by increased product sales due to a favorable contract pricing mix and the increase in other revenue.  Adjusted gross margin per metric ton was $46.41 for the second quarter of 2017, as compared to $43.11 for the second quarter of 2016.  Adjusted gross margin per metric ton benefited from improved pricing and other revenue that offset higher production and shipping costs resulting from lower plant utilization.  Net income decreased primarily due to the non-cash charges that resulted in lower gross margin and higher interest expense.

The Partnership’s distributable cash flow, net of amounts attributable to incentive distribution rights, decreased from $17.3 million for the second quarter of 2016 to $14.9 million for the second quarter of 2017, resulting in a distribution coverage ratio of 1.00 times.

Distribution

As announced on August 2, 2017, the board of directors of our general partner declared a distribution of $0.5700 per common and subordinated unit for the second quarter of 2017.  This distribution is 8.6 percent higher than the distribution for the second quarter of 2016.  The quarterly distribution will be paid on Tuesday, August 29, 2017, to unitholders of record as of the close of business on Tuesday, August 15, 2017.

Outlook and Guidance

For full-year 2017, the Partnership reaffirms its distribution guidance of at least $2.36 per common and subordinated unit.  However, the Partnership is revising its full-year 2017 guidance due to lower than expected plant utilization, and the associated impact on the timing of volumes sold, as its production facilities implemented process enhancements to further improve pellet quality to continue to meet the handling requirements of the increasing variety of discharge systems used by customers around the world.  The Partnership now expects full-year 2017 net income to be in the range of $18.5 million to $22.5 million and adjusted EBITDA to be in the range of $103.0 million to $107.0 million.  The Partnership expects to incur maintenance capital expenditures of $4.5 million and interest expense net of amortization of debt issuance costs and original issue discount of $30.0 million in 2017.  As a result, the Partnership expects full-year distributable cash flow to be in the range of $68.5 million to $72.5 million, prior to any distributions attributable to incentive distribution rights paid to the general partner.  The guidance amounts provided above do not include the impact of any additional acquisitions from the Partnership’s sponsor or third parties beyond the previously announced acquisition of the sponsor’s deep-water marine terminal in Wilmington, North Carolina (the “Wilmington terminal”).  Although deliveries to our customers are generally ratable over the year, the Partnership’s quarterly income and cash flow are subject to the mix of customer shipments made, which may vary from period to period.  As such, the board of directors of the Partnership’s general partner evaluates the Partnership’s distribution coverage ratio on an annual basis when determining the distribution for a quarter.

“While short-lived, the impact of the process improvements affected our second quarter financial results and expectations for part of the year,” said Keppler. “Given what we are seeing at the plants as they complete these changes, we anticipate a strong fourth quarter and to exit the year at a run rate on production volume and financial performance that exceeds the expectations we set at the beginning of the year.”

Market and Contracting Update

Our sales strategy is to fully contract the production capacity of the Partnership.  Our current capacity is matched with a portfolio of off-take contracts that has a weighted-average remaining term of 9.8 years from July 1, 2017.

The Partnership and our sponsor announced the execution of a memorandum of understanding for a take-or-pay off-take contract as the sole source supplier of 650,000 metric tons per year (“MTPY”) of wood pellets to the largest dedicated biomass project announced to date in Japan.  Subject to definitive agreement documentation and certain conditions precedent, deliveries under this U.S. Dollar denominated contract would commence in 2022 and continue for at least fifteen years.

Several developments in Europe and Asia continue to demonstrate the significant growth expected in long-term demand for wood pellets:

·                  Japan is targeting 6.0 to 7.5 gigawatts (“GWs”) of biomass-fired capacity, which represents demand for 15 to 20 million MTPY of biomass, as part of its expected power source mix for 2030.  In June, demand for the 2017 feed-in tariff (“FiT”) program for projects fueled by imported biomass significantly exceeded expectations as applications were submitted for more than 15 GWs of biomass-fired capacity.  Major energy companies continue to announce biomass projects underpinning the wood pellet demand growth expected in Japan, as Tokyo Electric Power (“TEPCO”) commenced co-firing biomass with coal at its 1,000 megawatt (“MW”) Hitachinaka power plant.

·                  In South Korea, policymakers have proposed that the renewables portfolio standard (“RPS”) require large energy companies to source at least 28 percent of their power from renewable sources by 2030, up from 10 percent in 2023.  This is consistent with the new president’s proposal that South Korea will generate at least 20 percent of its power from renewable sources by 2030, and is expected to significantly increase the adoption of renewable power generation.  In addition, Korea South-East Power has announced the full conversion of a 125 MW unit at one of its coal-fired power plants, and the intention to convert another unit, to biomass fuel.

·                  In the Netherlands, the first round of applications for the 2017 renewable incentive program concluded, where biomass projects are expected to receive a portion of the 6.0 billion euros in available funding.  A second round of applications for 2017 commences in October for an additional 6.0 billion euros in available funding.  In addition, RWE has announced its intention to fully convert its 1,500 MW Eemshaven and 600 MW Amer coal-fired power plants to wood pellets, subject to additional government support. Both plants have already received Dutch government funding for co-firing of wood pellets, and if fully converted to biomass, would represent more than 8 million MTPY of total demand for wood pellets.

·                  DONG Energy, the largest power producer in Denmark, has received state aid approval from the European Commission to convert its Asnaes combined heat and power facility to biomass, which is in line with the company’s plan to completely eliminate the use of coal in its generation of power and heat by 2023.  DONG Energy’s coal-to-biomass conversion program is expected to require approximately 2 million MTPY of wood pellets by 2020.

·                  As the adoption of renewable power generation continues across Europe, policymakers are beginning to focus on the application of renewables in the thermal and heat markets in order to meet binding long-term decarbonization objectives.  Fossil fuels are still used to generate a majority of the heat used in Europe, and the European Commission is considering methods to promote renewable heat generation needed to meet the European Union’s 2030 legally binding objective to reduce carbon emissions by 40 percent.  Similarly, the United Kingdom’s (“UK”) Climate Change Committee, the official body overseeing implementation of the Climate Change Act, has called for new policies around renewable heat to help meet the UK’s 2032 decarbonization goals.

·                  Through an initiative by the Climate Group, one hundred multi-national corporations have committed to solely use renewable power across their global operations.  Driven by consumer preference, corporations around the world and across many industries are seeking to significantly reduce carbon emissions and increase adoption of renewable energy, and biomass-fired generation for the power and thermal needs of these operations is a reliable complement to intermittent wind and solar power.

The Partnership expects to begin deliveries later this year to two new customers under previously-announced off-take contracts.  Our sponsor and the Partnership are in active negotiations for other long-term off-take contracts in this rapidly expanding market to be fulfilled directly by the Partnership and by new capacity under development by our sponsor throughout the Southeast United States.

Sponsor Activity

As previously announced, the Partnership has agreed to purchase Enviva Port of Wilmington, LLC (“Wilmington”) from Enviva Wilmington Holdings, LLC, a joint venture between our sponsor and affiliates of John Hancock Life Insurance Company.  Wilmington owns the fully operational Wilmington terminal.  The acquisition of Wilmington (the “Wilmington Drop-Down”) is still expected to close on or about October 2, 2017, subject to customary closing conditions.

Construction of the 600,000 MTPY production plant in Hamlet, North Carolina (the “Hamlet plant”) continues to progress.  Our sponsor anticipates construction to be complete in late 2018.  Production from the Hamlet plant is expected to supply MGT Power’s Teesside Renewable Energy Plant, which is currently under construction in the UK.

Conference Call

We will host a conference call with executive management related to our second-quarter 2017 results, our outlook and guidance, and a more detailed market update at 10:00 a.m. (Eastern Time) on Thursday, August 3, 2017.  Information on how interested parties may listen to the conference call is available on the Investor Relations page of our website (www.envivabiomass.com).  A replay of the conference call will be available on our website after the live call concludes.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We use adjusted gross margin per metric ton, adjusted EBITDA, and distributable cash flow to measure our financial performance.

Adjusted Gross Margin per Metric Ton

We define adjusted gross margin as gross margin excluding asset disposals and depreciation and amortization included in cost of goods sold.  We believe adjusted gross margin per metric ton is a meaningful measure because it compares our revenue-generating activities to our operating costs for a view of profitability and performance on a per metric ton basis.  Adjusted gross margin per metric ton will primarily be affected by our ability to meet targeted production volumes and to control direct and indirect costs associated with procurement and delivery of wood fiber to our production plants and the production and distribution of wood pellets.

Adjusted EBITDA

We define adjusted EBITDA as net income or loss excluding depreciation and amortization, interest expense, income tax expense, early retirement of debt obligations, non-cash unit compensation expense, asset impairments and disposals, and certain items of income or loss that we characterize as unrepresentative of our ongoing operations.  Adjusted EBITDA is a supplemental measure used by our management and other users of our financial statements, such as investors, commercial banks, and research analysts, to assess the financial performance of our assets without regard to financing methods or capital structure.

Distributable Cash Flow

We define distributable cash flow as adjusted EBITDA less maintenance capital expenditures and interest expense net of amortization of debt issuance costs and original issue discounts.  We use distributable cash flow as a performance metric to compare the cash-generating performance of the Partnership from period to period and to compare the cash-generating performance for specific periods to the cash distributions (if any) that are expected to be paid to our unitholders.  We do not rely on distributable cash flow as a liquidity measure.

Adjusted gross margin per metric ton, adjusted EBITDA, and distributable cash flow are not financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP.  We believe that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to investors in assessing our financial condition and results of operations.  Our non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as alternatives to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.  Each of these non-GAAP financial measures has important limitations as an analytical tool because they exclude some, but not all, items that affect the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.  You should not consider adjusted gross margin per metric ton, adjusted EBITDA, or distributable cash flow in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP.  Our definitions of these non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing their utility.
