TULSA, Okla.--()--NGL Energy Partners LP (NYSE:NGL) (“NGL” or the “Partnership”) today reported an operating loss for the quarter ended September 30, 2016 of $35.8 million compared to operating income of $18.3 million in the same quarter last year, which included $5.5 million of operating income from our consolidation of TransMontaigne Partners L.P., which was divested in early 2016. Net loss for the quarter was $66.7 million compared to a net loss of $6.1 million during the same quarter last year. Adjusted EBITDA was $75.4 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2016, an 11.5% year over year increase when compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $67.6 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2015. Distributable Cash Flow was $39.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2016, compared to $30.0 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2015.

“Our quarterly results are in line with expectations as increased volumes in our Refined Products and Renewables segment continue to be a driver of earnings during this commodity price cycle. In October, our business took a significant step forward with the startup of the Grand Mesa pipeline. We expect that this milestone project, which was completed on-time and under budget, will increase fee-based earnings through long-term, take-or-pay contracts and ratable cash flows,” stated Mike Krimbill, CEO of NGL. “As we head into our two most historically profitable fiscal quarters, we expect our Liquids and Retail Propane segments will benefit from the winter heating season, our Refined Products and Renewables segment will continue to perform well, and we are seeing a rebound in our Water Solutions business. Our Crude Oil Logistics segment will benefit from Grand Mesa and other opportunities within our operating footprint, offset by headwinds in our crude transportation and marketing divisions. The capital already invested in each of our businesses provides clear line of sight to at least $600 million of Adjusted EBITDA next year with minimal remaining capital requirements going forward. We remain focused on our balance sheet and financial metric objectives as we grow our business and deliver value for all of our stakeholders.”

Capitalization and Liquidity

In October 2016, we issued $700.0 million of 7.50% Senior Notes due 2023 and received net proceeds of approximately $688.0 million. The notes mature on November 1, 2023 and we used the net proceeds to reduce the outstanding balance on our revolving credit facility. Including this issuance, NGL had total liquidity (cash plus available capacity on its revolving credit facility) of approximately $1.1 billion as of September 30, 2016.

Total long-term debt outstanding, excluding the working capital borrowings, was $2,352.5 million at September 30, 2016 compared to $2,294.3 million at March 31, 2016, an increase of $58.2 million. Management expects long-term debt to decrease as cash flow coverage in excess of distributions is used to fund capital expenditures and repay borrowings, primarily in the third and fourth quarters of our fiscal year. Working capital borrowings totaled $710.5 million at September 30, 2016 compared to $618.5 million at March 31, 2016, an increase of $92.0 million driven by the increase in commodity prices and inventory volumes during the period. 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.

Quarterly Results of Operations

The following table summarizes operating income (loss) by operating segment for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and September 30, 2015 (in thousands):

        As Restated

The tables included in this release reconcile operating income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA for each of our operating segments.

Crude Oil Logistics

The Partnership’s Crude Oil Logistics segment generated Adjusted EBITDA of $3.5 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2016, compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $13.8 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2015. The current quarter results were negatively impacted by increased competition due to the continued production decline in the United States resulting in lower crude oil volumes transported and marketed. The Partnership’s quarterly results were also impacted by the flattening of the contango curve for crude oil during the quarter.

The Partnership’s Grand Mesa project commenced commercial operations on November 1, 2016. The Partnership currently anticipates year one EBITDA related to this project to be approximately $120 million and year two EBITDA to be approximately $150 million based on current contracts. The average contract term on the pipeline is approximately nine years and all contracts are fee-based with volume commitments. The Partnership expects remaining capital expenditures for the project to total approximately $15.2 million, which are expected to be incurred prior to fiscal year-end.

Refined Products and Renewables

The Partnership’s Refined Products and Renewables segment generated Adjusted EBITDA of $45.6 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2016, compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $7.1 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2015. Refined product barrels sold during the quarter ended September 30, 2016 totaled 37.4 million barrels, and increased by approximately 13.3 million barrels compared to the same period in the prior year, as a result of the increase in pipeline capacity allocations purchased over the previous six months, an expansion of our refined products operations, and the continued demand for motor fuels in the current low gasoline price environment. Refined product barrels sold are expected to remain at a similar level through the remainder of Fiscal 2017 as motor fuel demand remains strong in the current price environment. Renewable barrels sold during the quarter ended September 30, 2016 were approximately 1.5 million, compared to approximately 1.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2015.

Liquids

The Partnership’s Liquids segment generated Adjusted EBITDA of $15.8 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2016, compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $20.2 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2015. Propane volumes decreased by 21.3 million gallons, or 8.7%, during the quarter ended September 30, 2016, compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2015. We continue to be impacted by lower propane demand as a result of the warmer than normal winter last year. Other Liquids volumes decreased by 43.3 million gallons, or 18.6%, for the quarter ended September 30, 2016, compared to the same period in the prior year, as butane operations were negatively impacted by lower production, railcar costs and increased storage capacity. Total product margin per gallon was $0.050 for the quarter ended September 30, 2016, compared to $0.066 for the quarter ended September 30, 2015, due to increased competition as a result of excess railcar length.

Retail Propane

The Partnership’s Retail Propane segment generated Adjusted EBITDA of $2.1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2016, compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $6.9 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2015. Propane sold during the quarter ended September 30, 2016 increased by approximately 0.7 million gallons, or 2.8%, compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2015, due to acquisitions made during the period. Distillates sold during the quarter ended September 30, 2016 decreased by approximately 0.6 million gallons, compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2015, due to warmer weather. Total product margin per gallon was $0.902 for the quarter ended September 30, 2016, compared to $0.979 for the quarter ended September 30, 2015, resulting from higher propane supplies and lower demand caused by warmer than normal temperatures last winter. During the quarter ended September 30, 2016, the Partnership acquired the operations of two retail propane companies, one in the southeastern United States and the other in the northeastern United States, expanding its existing marketing area.

Water Solutions

The Partnership’s Water Solutions segment generated Adjusted EBITDA of $17.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2016, compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $18.4 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2015. Water barrels processed during the quarter ended September 30, 2016 were approximately 46.3 million, compared to approximately 54.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2015, as our Water Solutions segment continues to be negatively impacted by the reduction in crude oil drilling, completions and production as a result of the continued depressed crude oil price environment. Despite these headwinds, volumes for the current quarter are approximately 12% higher than those reported in the first quarter of Fiscal 2017 as we are benefiting from the increasing rig count in the Permian Basin, which has continued to climb subsequent to this quarter end. Revenues from recovered hydrocarbons decreased by $5.1 million to $5.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2016, compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2015.

Corporate and Other

The Adjusted EBITDA for Corporate and Other was a loss of $9.4 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2016, compared to income of $1.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2015. General and administrative expenses for the quarter ended September 30, 2015 benefited from the reversal of incentive compensation, while general and administrative expenses for the quarter ended September 30, 2016 were impacted by additional compensation expense.

Growth capital expenditures totaled approximately $143.9 million for the six months ended September 30, 2016, including $84.7 million related to the Grand Mesa pipeline project. Acquisitions and other investments, including two retail propane acquisitions, totaled approximately $198.0 million, resulting in total capital expenditures related to expansion investments of approximately $342 million year-to-date. Our expectation for growth capital expenditures and investments for Fiscal 2017 is approximately $400 million - $425 million as the majority of capital investments were funded in the first half of the fiscal year.

Fiscal 2017 Guidance

The Partnership currently expects to generate Adjusted EBITDA of between $485 million and $500 million during Fiscal 2017, which includes Adjusted EBITDA for the Grand Mesa pipeline project of approximately $50 million. The Partnership is expected to generate approximately $140 million - $155 million, or about 1.8x, excess coverage at our current annualized distribution rate, including distributions on the Class A Preferred Units for Fiscal 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 Friday, November 4, 2016. Analysts, investors, and other interested parties may access the conference call by dialing (800) 291-4083 and providing access code 7730126. 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 4, 2016, which can be accessed by dialing (855) 859-2056 and providing access code 7730126.

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, gain on early extinguishment of liabilities, revaluation of investments, equity-based compensation expense, acquisition expense and other. We also include in Adjusted EBITDA certain inventory valuation adjustments related to our 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 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 gains and losses associated with derivative contracts of this segment, which are intended primarily to hedge inventory holding risk, also affect Adjusted EBITDA.

Distributable Cash Flow is defined as Adjusted EBITDA minus maintenance capital expenditures and cash interest expense. 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 distributions are set by the Board of Directors of NGL’s general partner.

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 the Partnership’s 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.
