HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--USD Partners LP (NYSE: USDP) (the “Partnership”) announced today its operating and financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015. Highlights with respect to the second quarter of 2015 include the following:
- Increased quarterly cash distribution to $0.29 per unit ($1.16 per unit on an annualized basis), payable on August 14, 2015, to unitholders of record at the close of business on August 10, 2015
- Reported Adjusted EBITDA of $9.9 million and Distributable Cash Flow of $8.7 million
- Reported Net Income of $2.7 million
- Entered into foreign exchange hedges for the full year 2016
- Ended quarter with available liquidity of approximately $265.5 million
“We are pleased to deliver to our unitholders an increase in our quarterly distribution, which reflects our confidence in our ability to grow the Partnership through both third party transactions and development opportunities sourced from our sponsor,” said Dan Borgen, the Partnership’s Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President. “The opportunity set to support Canadian producers’ and North American refiners’ long-term transportation needs remains robust, and we believe rail will continue to be a critical part of the overall takeaway solution. Both the Partnership and USD Group remain committed to delivering competitive Canadian and domestic industry solutions.”
Terminalling Services Segment
For the second quarter of 2015, the Partnership’s Terminalling services segment reported Adjusted EBITDA of approximately $10.5 million and Income from Continuing Operations of approximately $4.3 million. The Partnership’s Terminalling services segment includes the Hardisty, San Antonio and West Colton rail terminals.
Hardisty Rail Terminal
Substantially all of the terminalling capacity at the Partnership’s Hardisty rail terminal is contracted under multi-year, take-or-pay terminal services agreements, which are subject to inflation-based escalators. Similar to last quarter, the Partnership generated deferred revenues resulting from minimum monthly commitment fees received in excess of the charges implied by actual throughput. In such cases, the Partnership grants customers at the Hardisty rail terminal a credit, for up to six months, to offset fees on throughput above minimum monthly commitments, subject to available capacity. These deferred revenues are initially recorded as short-term liabilities on the balance sheet and then recognized as revenue on the Partnership’s statement of operations when the make-up rights are used or expire.
In the second quarter of 2015, the Partnership’s Adjusted EBITDA includes a net adjustment of $1.6 million associated with deferred revenues. This amount includes adjustments for pipeline fees paid to Gibson Energy and the impact of recognizing previously deferred revenue and prepaid expenses generated in prior quarters.
San Antonio and West Colton Rail Terminals
Average throughput for the second quarter of 2015 at the San Antonio and West Colton rail terminals was approximately 10,200 barrels and 5,600 barrels of ethanol per day, respectively, representing an increase of approximately 15% and 18% over the first quarter of 2015.
The Partnership’s San Antonio and West Colton rail terminals operate under traditional fee for service arrangements that provide a fixed fee per gallon of ethanol offloaded at each terminal.
The Partnership's Hardisty rail terminal commenced operations on June 30, 2014. As a result, the Partnership’s results for periods prior to June 30, 2014, include revenues and expenses related to: (i) the construction of the Hardisty rail terminal and other pre-operational activities, (ii) the operation of the San Antonio and West Colton rail terminals, and (iii) the Partnership’s railcar fleet services. The Partnership completed its IPO on October 15, 2014.
Fleet Services Segment
During the second quarter of 2015, the Partnership’s Fleet services segment generated Adjusted EBITDA of approximately $0.6 million and Income from Continuing Operations of approximately $0.7 million.
The Partnership’s Fleet services segment provides customers, including affiliates of our sponsor, access to railcars, as well as railcar-specific services related to the transportation of crude oil, ethanol and other liquid hydrocarbons. The Partnership has entered into master fleet services agreements with customers on a take-or-pay basis for periods ranging from five to nine years. The Partnership typically charges its customers monthly fees per railcar that include the associated lease payment, plus a component for fleet services.
2016 Foreign Exchange Hedges
In June 2015, the Partnership entered into collar arrangements which use put and call options to limit its foreign exchange exposure related to converting cash flow generated at its Canadian subsidiaries to U.S. dollars. These collar arrangements secure a notional value of approximately C$32 million of anticipated calendar year 2016 cash flow at an exchange rate range where one Canadian dollar is exchanged for an amount between 0.84 and 0.86 U.S. dollars.
Capitalization and Liquidity
As of June 30, 2015, the Partnership had total available liquidity of $265.5 million, including approximately $37.9 million of cash and cash equivalents and undrawn borrowing capacity of $227.6 million on its $300.0 million senior secured credit facility. The Partnership had $72.4 million of total debt outstanding as of June 30, 2015.
The Partnership is in compliance with its financial covenants and has no maturities under its senior secured credit facility until July 2019. The Partnership intends to use its available liquidity to fund future growth initiatives and for general partnership purposes.
As of June 30, 2015, the Partnership had outstanding 10.2 million common units, 10.5 million subordinated units, 185,000 Class A units, 427,083 general partner units and 398,376 phantom units associated with its long-term incentive program.
Second Quarter 2015 Distribution
On July 30, 2015, the Partnership announced its quarterly cash distribution with respect to the second quarter of 2015 of $0.29 per unit, or $1.16 per unit on an annualized basis. The distribution represents an increase of $0.0025 per unit over the prior quarter and is payable on August 14, 2015, to unitholders of record as of the close of business on August 10, 2015.

About USD Partners LP
The Partnership is a fee-based, growth-oriented master limited partnership formed by US Development Group, LLC to acquire, develop and operate energy-related rail terminals and other high-quality and complementary midstream infrastructure assets and businesses. The Partnership’s assets consist primarily of: (i) an origination crude-by-rail terminal in Hardisty, Alberta, Canada, with capacity to load up to two 120-railcar unit trains per day and (ii) two destination unit train-capable ethanol rail terminals in San Antonio, Texas, and West Colton, California, with a combined capacity of approximately 33,000 barrels per day. In addition, the Partnership provides railcar services through the management of a railcar fleet that is committed to customers on a long-term basis.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income before depreciation and amortization, interest and other income, interest and other expense, unrealized gains and losses associated with derivative instruments, foreign currency transaction gains and losses, income taxes, non-cash expense related to our equity compensation programs, discontinued operations, adjustments related to deferred revenue associated with minimum monthly commitment fees and other items which management does not believe reflect the underlying performance of our business. We define Distributable Cash Flow as Adjusted EBITDA less net cash paid for interest, income taxes and maintenance capital expenditures. Distributable Cash Flow does not reflect changes in working capital balances. Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow are both non-GAAP, supplemental financial measures used by management and by external users of our financial statements, such as investors and commercial banks, to assess:
- our operating performance as compared to those of other companies in the midstream sector, without regard to financing methods, historical cost basis or capital structure;
- the ability of our assets to generate sufficient cash flow to make distributions to our partners;
- our ability to incur and service debt and fund capital expenditures; and
- the viability of acquisitions and other capital expenditure projects and our ability to generate incremental cash flows from these opportunities.
We believe that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA provides information useful to investors in assessing our financial condition and results of operations. We further believe that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow information enhances investors’ understanding of our ability to generate cash for payment of distributions and other purposes. The GAAP measures most directly comparable to Adjusted EBITDA are Net Income and Cash Flows from Operating Activities. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered an alternative to Net Income, Cash Flows from Operating Activities or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA excludes some, but not all, items that affect Net Income, and these measures may vary among other companies. As a result, Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. For a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow to the most comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, please see the “GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliations” table below.
Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of U.S. federal securities laws, including statements with respect to the amount and timing of the Partnership’s second quarter 2015 cash distribution, the ability of the Partnership to grow and the opportunities for crude-by-rail transportation. Words and phrases such as “is expected,” “is planned,” “believes,” “projects,” and similar expressions are used to identify such forward-looking statements. However, the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. Forward-looking statements relating to the Partnership are based on management’s expectations, estimates and projections about the Partnership, its interests and the energy industry in general on the date this press release was issued. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict.
