NGL Energy Partners LP Announces Second Quarter Fiscal 2018 Financial Results

TULSA, Okla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--November 7, 2017--NGL Energy Partners LP (NYSE:NGL) (“NGL,” “our,” or the “Partnership”) today reported a net loss for the quarter ended September 30, 2017 of $173.6 million, primarily due to a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $116.9 million to our Sawtooth salt dome cavern reporting unit, which is part of our Liquids operating segment. This is compared to a net loss of $66.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2016.

Highlights for the quarter include:
Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of Fiscal 2018 was $90.8 million, compared to $75.5 million for the second quarter of Fiscal 2017
Volumes increased over 10% in every segment compared to the same quarter last year, including a 30% increase in water disposal volumes
Distributable cash flow for the second quarter of Fiscal 2018 was $35.1 million, compared to $38.0 million for the second quarter of Fiscal 2017
Growth capital expenditures, including acquisitions and other investments, totaled approximately $56.7 million during the second quarter, the majority of which was related to investments in the Water Solutions and Retail Propane segments
Fiscal 2018 Adjusted EBITDA target remains at approximately $475 million to $500 million

“Results for this quarter exceeded our expectations with the Crude Oil Logistics, Water Solutions and Refined Products segments all beating our forecast for the quarter. Crude volumes on Grand Mesa continue to grow with over 100,000 barrels per day in August and September. Water volumes were in excess of 655,000 barrels per day for the quarter, with over 700,000 barrels per day processed in September, and our Refined Products results improved significantly from the prior two quarters, led by our re-contracting initiative and improved margins,” stated CEO Mike Krimbill. “With these results, we believe the Partnership is positioned for significant value growth in the near future. Our outlook for the remainder of this year remains unchanged with growth potential embedded in our existing businesses for next year and beyond.”

The tables included in this release reconcile operating income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, for each of our operating segments.






Crude Oil Logistics

The Partnership’s Crude Oil Logistics segment generated Adjusted EBITDA of $29.6 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2017, compared to $3.5 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2016. The Partnership’s Grand Mesa Pipeline commenced commercial operations on November 1, 2016 and contributed Adjusted EBITDA of approximately $38.0 million during the second quarter of Fiscal 2018 as physical volumes averaged approximately 89,000 barrels per day and financial volumes averaged approximately 94,000 barrels per day for the quarter. Volumes have continued to increase throughout the current year as production in the DJ Basin grows. The average remaining contract term on the pipeline is approximately eight years, and all contracts are fee-based with volume commitments which step up on November 1st in the second and third years of operations.

The remaining divisions of our Crude Oil Logistics segment continued to be impacted by competition and low margins in the majority of the basins across the United States. The Partnership continues to market crude volumes in this lower price environment to support its various pipeline, terminal and transportation assets, including Grand Mesa, at near break-even to slightly negative levels.

Refined Products and Renewables

The Partnership’s Refined Products and Renewables segment generated Adjusted EBITDA of $22.2 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2017, compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $45.6 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2016. Total product margin per gallon was $0.011 for the quarter ended September 30, 2017 compared to $0.006 for the quarter ended September 30, 2016. The increase in margins was primarily due to an increase in Gulf Coast prices as a result of supply disruptions. The decrease in adjusted EBITDA is the result of lower inventory prices negatively impacting the inventory revaluation adjustment by $2.2 million for the quarter, compared to a $39.5 million positive adjustment in the same period last year when the Colonial Pipeline was down for maintenance, causing an increase in refined product prices.

Refined product barrels sold during the quarter ended September 30, 2017 totaled approximately 41.4 million barrels, an increase of approximately 4.0 million barrels compared to the same period in the prior year, as a result of expansion of our refined products operations. Renewable barrels sold during the quarter ended September 30, 2017 were approximately 1.5 million, which was similar to the volumes sold during the quarter ended September 30, 2016.

Liquids

The Partnership’s Liquids segment generated Adjusted EBITDA of $16.1 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2017, compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $15.8 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2016. Total product margin per gallon was $0.025 for the quarter ended September 30, 2017, compared to $0.050 for the quarter ended September 30, 2016. Margins were negatively impacted by unrealized losses on derivative instruments related to butane of approximately $18.2 million. This unrealized loss will be offset in future periods when physical volumes are sold. Propane volumes increased by approximately 35.4 million gallons, or 15.9%, during the quarter ended September 30, 2017 compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2016. Butane volumes increased by approximately 23.3 million gallons, or 22.8%, during the quarter ended September 30, 2017 compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2016. Other Liquids volumes increased by approximately 15.2 million gallons, or 17.5%, during the quarter ended September 30, 2017 compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase in overall volumes is primarily attributable to a new long-term marketing agreement as well as the acquisition of certain natural gas liquid and condensate terminals from Murphy Energy Corporation. Our Liquids segment continued to be impacted by unrecovered railcar fleet costs and excess storage capacity.

Retail Propane

The Partnership’s Retail Propane segment generated Adjusted EBITDA of $3.2 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2017, compared to $2.1 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2016. Propane sold during the quarter ended September 30, 2017 increased by approximately 4.4 million gallons, or 18.7%, compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2016, primarily due to acquisitions made during the current year and previous year. Distillates sold during the quarter ended September 30, 2017 increased by approximately 0.3 million gallons compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2016. Total product margin per gallon was $0.864 for the quarter ended September 30, 2017, compared to $0.902 for the quarter ended September 30, 2016.






Water Solutions

The Partnership’s Water Solutions segment generated Adjusted EBITDA of $27.3 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2017, compared to $17.8 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2016. The Partnership processed approximately 655,000 barrels of wastewater per day during the quarter ended September 30, 2017, a 30.4% increase, compared to approximately 503,000 barrels of wastewater per day during the quarter ended September 30, 2016. Processed water volumes have increased throughout the year with over 700,000 barrels per day processed in September as the segment continued to benefit from the increased rig counts and increased completion activities related to drilled but uncompleted wells in the basins in which it operates, particularly in the Permian Basin. Additional water pipelines brought online in the quarter also contributed to increased revenues. Revenues from recovered hydrocarbons totaled $10.4 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2017, an increase of $4.8 million over the prior year period, related to increased crude oil prices and an increase of oil percentage in water processed.

Corporate and Other

Adjusted EBITDA for Corporate and Other was a cost of $7.6 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2017, compared to a cost of $9.4 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2016.

Capitalization and Liquidity

Total long-term debt outstanding, excluding working capital borrowings, was $2.124 billion at September 30, 2017 compared to $2.149 billion at March 31, 2017, a decrease of $25.0 million. Working capital borrowings totaled $869.5 million at September 30, 2017 compared to $814.5 million at March 31, 2017, an increase of $55.0 million driven primarily by an increase in accounts receivable during the quarter. Working capital borrowings, which are fully secured by the Partnership’s net working capital, are subject to a monthly borrowing base and are excluded from the Partnership’s debt compliance ratios. Total liquidity (cash plus available capacity on our revolving credit facility) was approximately $696.8 million as of September 30, 2017.

Second Quarter Conference Call Information

A conference call to discuss NGL’s results of operations is scheduled for 11:00 am Eastern Time (10:00 am Central Time) on Tuesday, November 7, 2017. Analysts, investors, and other interested parties may access the conference call by dialing (800) 291-4083 and providing access code 5396739. An archived audio replay of the conference call will be available for 7 days beginning at 2:00 pm Eastern Time (1:00 pm Central Time) on November 7, 2017, which can be accessed by dialing (855) 859-2056 and providing access code 5396739.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

NGL defines EBITDA as net income (loss) attributable to NGL Energy Partners LP, plus interest expense, income tax expense (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, gains and losses on disposal or impairment of assets, gains and losses on early extinguishment of liabilities, revaluation of investments, equity-based compensation expense, acquisition expense, revaluation of liabilities and other. NGL also includes in Adjusted EBITDA certain inventory valuation adjustments related to NGL’s Refined Products and Renewables segment, as discussed below. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered alternatives to net (loss) income, (loss) income before income taxes, cash flows from operating activities, or any other measure of financial performance calculated in accordance with 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 NGL’s ability to make quarterly distributions to NGL’s 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 NGL’s financing methods, capital structure and historical cost basis. Further, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, as NGL defines them, may not be comparable to EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, or similarly titled measures used by other entities.

Other than for NGL’s Refined Products and Renewables segment, for purposes of the 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 record a realized gain or loss. NGL does not draw such a distinction between realized and unrealized gains and losses on derivatives of NGL’s 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 reconciliation table reflects the difference between the market value of the inventory of NGL’s Refined Products and Renewables segment at the balance sheet date and its cost. NGL includes this in Adjusted EBITDA because the unrealized gains and losses associated with derivative contracts associated with the inventory of this segment, which are intended primarily to hedge inventory holding risk and are included in net income, also affect Adjusted EBITDA.

Distributable Cash Flow is defined as Adjusted EBITDA minus maintenance capital expenditures, income tax expense, cash interest expense and other. Maintenance capital expenditures represent capital expenditures necessary to maintain the Partnership’s operating capacity. Distributable Cash Flow is a performance metric used by senior management to compare cash flows generated by the Partnership (excluding growth capital expenditures and prior to the establishment of any retained cash reserves by the Board of Directors) to the cash distributions expected to be paid to unitholders. Using this metric, management can quickly compute the coverage ratio of estimated cash flows to planned cash distributions. This financial measure also is important to investors as an indicator of whether the Partnership is generating cash flow at a level that can sustain, or support an increase in, quarterly distribution rates. Actual distribution amounts are set by the Board of Directors.

Forward Looking Statements

This press release includes “forward-looking statements.” All statements other than statements of historical facts included or incorporated herein may constitute forward-looking statements. Actual results could vary significantly from those expressed or implied in such statements and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties. While NGL believes such forward-looking statements are reasonable, NGL cannot assure they will prove to be correct. The forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that affect operations, financial performance, and other factors as discussed in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Other factors that could impact any forward-looking statements are those risks described in NGL’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and other public filings. You are urged to carefully review and consider the cautionary statements and other disclosures made in those filings, specifically those under the heading “Risk Factors.” NGL undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements except as required by law.

NGL provides Adjusted EBITDA guidance that does not include certain charges and costs, which in future periods are generally expected to be similar to the kinds of charges and costs excluded from Adjusted EBITDA in prior periods, such as income taxes, interest and other non-operating items, depreciation and amortization, net unrealized gains and losses on derivatives, lower of cost or market adjustments, gains and losses on disposal or impairment of assets, equity-based compensation, acquisition-related expense, revaluation of liabilities and items that are unusual in nature or infrequently occurring. The exclusion of these charges and costs in future periods will have a significant impact on the Partnership’s Adjusted EBITDA, and the Partnership is not able to provide a reconciliation of its Adjusted EBITDA guidance to net income (loss) without unreasonable efforts due to the uncertainty and variability of the nature and amount of these future charges and costs and the Partnership believes that such reconciliation, if possible, would imply a degree of precision that would be potentially confusing or misleading to investors.
