Noble Midstream Partners Reports Record Third Quarter 2017 Results and Provides Updated Fourth Quarter 2017 Guidance

HOUSTON--()--Noble Midstream Partners LP (NYSE: NBLX) (Noble Midstream or the Partnership) today reported third quarter 2017 financial and operational results and provided updated fourth quarter 2017 guidance.

The Partnership's results are consolidated to include the non-controlling interests in the Partnership's development companies (DevCos) retained by Noble Energy, Inc. (Noble Energy); however, certain results are shown as "attributable to the Partnership," which excludes the non-controlling interests in the DevCos retained by Noble Energy. Noble Midstream believes the results "attributable to the Partnership" provide the best representation of the ongoing operations from which the Partnership's unitholders will benefit.

Third Quarter Records Include:

  • Net Income of $44 million, or $42 million attributable to the Partnership
  • Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities of $50 million
  • EBITDA1 of $48 million, or $46 million attributable to the Partnership, an increase over the prior quarter of 36% attributable to the Partnership
  • Distribution per unit of $0.4665, a 4.7% increase from the second quarter 2017 distribution and 24% above the minimum quarterly cash distribution
  • Distributable Cash Flow (DCF)1 attributable to the Partnership of $41 million, resulting in distribution coverage1 of 2.4x
  • Oil and gas gathering volumes of 95 thousand barrels of oil equivalent per day (MBoe/d), a 29% increase over second quarter 2017 volumes
  • Produced water gathering volumes of 27 thousand barrels of water per day (MBw/d), more than double second quarter 2017 volumes

Other Recent Highlights:

  • Successful startup of two major projects in the third quarter - the Billy Miner central gathering facility (CGF), the Partnership's first CGF in the Delaware Basin and the Partnership's oil and produced water gathering system in the DJ Basin for its third-party customer
  • Added gas compression service to the Partnership's service offering, beginning in 2018, for Noble Energy in the Delaware Basin, through Trinity River DevCo

"I'm proud of the successful completion of our first two major growth projects, core to our initial 20% distribution per unit growth outlook. Both projects were completed on budget and on schedule, and with increased throughput expectations, we anticipate strong returns on both projects," stated Terry R. Gerhart, Chief Executive Officer of the general partner of Noble Midstream.

"Over the last twelve months, we have enhanced Noble Midstream's outlook while maintaining a strong financial position, highlighted by third quarter distribution coverage of 2.4x and annualized leverage2 of 1.1x," added Gerhart.

Third Quarter 2017 Results

In the third quarter, oil and gas gathering volumes averaged 95 MBoe/d, a 29% increase above the prior quarter and produced water gathering volumes more than doubled from the prior quarter, averaging 27 MBw/d.

Third quarter volume growth in the Partnership's gathering segment was driven by (1) the startup of the oil and produced water gathering system for the Partnership's third-party customer in the DJ Basin through Laramie River DevCo, (2) the startup of the first CGF, gathering oil, gas and produced water in the Delaware Basin through Blanco River DevCo, and (3) connecting 65 equivalent wells, normalized to 4,500 lateral feet, in Colorado River DevCo.

Fresh water delivered in the third quarter averaged 175 MBw/d, a decrease of 5% from the prior quarter, primarily resulting from reduced completion activity in the DJ Basin by both Noble Energy and the Partnership's third-party customer in August and September. The Partnership delivered fresh water to 49 Noble Energy equivalent wells in the third quarter, including 30 equivalent wells in Wells Ranch averaging 260 MBw per equivalent well, and 19 equivalent wells on federal leases in the East Pony area, averaging 114 MBw per equivalent well.

In the third quarter, Noble Midstream's Billy Miner CGF was connected to the Advantage Pipeline, where total pipeline throughput averaged 36 thousand barrels of oil per day (MBbl/d).

Third quarter revenue was $63 million, including $39 million in gathering revenue and $22 million in fresh water delivery revenue. Total operating expenses were $20 million, which included $14 million in direct operating expense, resulting in operating income of $43 million in the third quarter, an increase of 14% from the prior quarter. Third quarter investment income of $2 million is primarily comprised of $1 million from the Partnership's minority ownership in White Cliffs Pipeline LLC and $1 million from the Partnership's 50% ownership in the Advantage joint venture.

Net income for the third quarter was $44 million, or $42 million attributable to the Partnership, or $1.15 per limited partner unit. Net cash provided by operating activities was $50 million in the third quarter.

EBITDA was $48 million in the third quarter, or 15% above the prior quarter, while EBITDA attributable to the Partnership grew 36% above the second quarter to $46 million, or $31 million excluding fresh water delivery. The additional growth attributable to the Partnership is a result of Noble Midstream's previously announced acquisition of additional DevCo interest in Colorado River DevCo and Blanco River DevCo which closed on June 26, 2017.

In the third quarter, cash interest expense attributable to the Partnership was $1.4 million and maintenance capital expenditures attributable to the Partnership totaled $4 million, resulting in DCF attributable to the Partnership of $41 million and a distribution coverage ratio of 2.4x.

Capital Expenditures

Capital expenditures in the third quarter totaled $94 million, or $59 million attributable the Partnership, primarily due to the following items:

  • Laramie River DevCo - Completion of the Partnership's third-party oil and produced water gathering system in the DJ Basin which finished on an accelerated schedule. The Partnership connected four well pads in the third quarter.
  • Blanco River DevCo - Completion of the first CGF, Billy Miner I, construction on the second CGF, Jesse James, and associated gathering infrastructure for both facilities. Additionally, long-lead procurement for the three CGFs scheduled to be online by the first half of 2018 continued.
  • Trinity River DevCo - Completion of Noble Midstream's 15-mile connection between the Billy Miner I CGF and the Advantage Pipeline which became operational in August.
  • Colorado River DevCo - Well connections in Noble Energy's Wells Ranch (42 equivalent wells) and East Pony (23 equivalent wells) development areas.
  • Green River DevCo - Construction on fresh water delivery infrastructure expansion in Noble Energy's Mustang area and procurement and construction on the oil, gas and produced water gathering systems. The freshwater expansion is expected to be operational in December and the gathering system is expected to be operational in early 2018.

Liquidity

As of September 30, 2017, the Partnership had $161 million of liquidity with $11 million in cash on hand and $150 million undrawn under its $350 million unsecured revolving credit facility.

Quarterly Distribution

On October 26, 2017, the Board of Directors of Noble Midstream's general partner, Noble Midstream GP LLC, declared a third quarter cash distribution of $0.4665 per unit, a 4.7% increase from the second quarter 2017.

The third quarter distribution is payable on November 13, 2017, to unitholders of record as of November 6, 2017.

Compression

In October 2017, the Partnership, through Trinity River DevCo, entered into a Gas Compression Services agreement with Noble Energy. Beginning in 2018, the Partnership will provide gas compression services for a fixed per unit fee across Noble Energy's Delaware Basin acreage.

2017 Guidance

Gathering volumes are expected to continue to grow in the fourth quarter primarily as a result of a full quarter of contribution from growth projects in Laramie River DevCo and Blanco River DevCo. Additionally, the Jesse James CGF in Blanco River DevCo is expected to contribute volumes in December.

In total, fourth quarter oil and gas gathering volumes are expected to average 110 to 120 MBoe/d, 15% to 26% above the third quarter average. After third quarter produced water gathering volumes more than doubled from the second quarter, fourth quarter volumes are expected to grow between 41% and 79% above the third quarter records.

Full year 2017 oil and gas gathering volumes are now anticipated to average 86 to 88 MBoe/d, approximately 40% above the 2016 average, and produced water is now expected to average 22 to 24 MBw/d.

Oil throughput on the Advantage Pipeline is expected to average 50 to 60 MBbl/d in the fourth quarter, approximately 44% above the third quarter average. Plains All American, L.P.'s connection into the Advantage Pipeline from its Wolfbone Ranch Station was completed in October.

As previously announced, both Noble Energy and the Partnership's third-party customer reduced completion activity in August 2017, and activity levels are expected to remain consistent from August through year-end. As a result, fourth quarter fresh water delivery volumes are expected to decrease approximately 26% from the third quarter.

Gathering volume growth is expected to more than offset the decline in fresh water delivery, as growth in key financial metrics is anticipated in the fourth quarter 2017. Net income in the fourth quarter is expected between $43 million and $47 million, and $160 million and $164 million for the full year 2017.

Fourth quarter EBITDA is expected to range between $48 million and $55 million, approximately 7% above the third quarter, while EBITDA attributable to the Partnership is anticipated to range between $45 million and $52 million, approximately 5% above the third quarter.

Full year 2017 EBITDA is expected between $175 million and $182 million, or $151 million and $158 million attributable to the Partnership. DCF and distribution coverage is anticipated in the fourth quarter between $39 million and $45 million and 2.2x and 2.5x, respectively, and between $134 million and $140 million and 2.1x and 2.2x, respectively, for the full year 2017.

The full year 2017 midpoint guidance for capital and capital attributable to the Partnership has increased by $10 million primarily due to spending in Colorado River DevCo. Fourth quarter 2018 capital is now expected to be between $131 million and $151 million, or $66 million to $76 million attributable to the Partnership.

Full year 2017 capital is anticipated to range between $385 million to $405 million, or $230 million to $240 million attributable to the Partnership, as compared to the prior full year 2017 capital guidance of $365 million to $405 million, or $215 million to $235 million attributable the Partnership.

Reconciliations of GAAP Financial Measures to Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This news release, the financial tables and other supplemental information include EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow, both of which are non-GAAP measures that may be used periodically by management when discussing our financial results with investors and analysts. The following presents a reconciliation of each of these non-GAAP financial measures to its nearest comparable GAAP measure.

We define EBITDA as net income before income taxes, net interest expense, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is used as a supplemental financial measure by management and by external users of our financial statements, such as investors, industry analysts, lenders and ratings agencies to assess:

  • our operating performance as compared to those of other companies in the midstream energy industry, 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 the returns on investment of various investment opportunities.

We define Distributable Cash Flow as EBITDA less estimated maintenance capital expenditures. Distributable Cash Flow is used by management to evaluate our overall performance. Our partnership agreement requires us to distribute all available cash on a quarterly basis, and Distributable Cash Flow is one of the factors used by the board of directors of our general partner to help determine the amount of cash that is available to our unitholders for a given period.

We believe that the presentation of EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow provide information useful to investors in assessing our financial condition and results of operations. The GAAP measures most directly comparable to EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow are net income and net cash provided by operating activities. EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow should not be considered alternatives to net income, net cash provided by (used in) operating activities or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP. EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow exclude some, but not all, items that affect net income or net cash, and these measures may vary from those of other companies. As a result, EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow, as presented below, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow should not be considered as alternatives to GAAP measures, such as net income, operating income, cash flow from operating activities, or any other GAAP measure of financial performance.
