Andeavor Logistics LP Reports Second-Quarter 2019 Results

Andeavor Logistics LP Reports Second-Quarter 2019 Results

PR Newswire

FINDLAY, Ohio, Aug. 1, 2019 /PRNewswire/ --

  • Reported second-quarter net earnings of $160 million and EBITDA of $327 million; each were reduced by a $14 million non-cash, out of period revenue recognition adjustment
  • Reported net cash from operating activities of $264 million and DCF attributable to common unitholders of $249 million
  • MPLX closed its acquisition of Andeavor Logistics on July 30

Andeavor Logistics LP today reported second-quarter 2019 net earnings of $160 million, compared with $132 million for the second quarter of 2018. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) was $327 million, compared with $285 million in second-quarter 2018. Results in the second-quarter 2019 were reduced by a non-cash, out of period adjustment to reduce revenue recognized by $14 million for a crude oil gathering contract.

"This quarter included many milestones for Andeavor Logistics," said Gary R. Heminger, chairman and chief executive officer. "Business performance was strong, with crude oil volumes across our system in the Permian continuing to exceed expectations. The Conan Crude Oil Gathering System has now reached 200,000 barrels per day and progresses our strategy of building an integrated crude oil logistics system in the Permian."

Heminger continued, "With MPLX's acquisition of ANDX, we now have a single midstream entity, which has the ability to high-grade commercial activities across our integrated crude oil and natural gas logistics systems." In connection with the merger, Andeavor Logistics' common units are no longer publicly traded. Andeavor Logistics plans to file a Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q with the SEC prior to the filing deadline.

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of federal securities laws regarding Andeavor Logistics LP. These forward-looking statements relate to, among other things, the acquisition of Andeavor Logistics by MPLX LP (MPLX) and include expectations, estimates and projections concerning the business and operations, financial priorities and strategic plans of the combined entity. These statements are accompanied by cautionary language identifying important factors, though not necessarily all such factors, that could cause future outcomes to differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements. You can identify forward-looking statements by words such as "anticipate," "believe," "could," "design," "estimate," "expect," "forecast," "goal," "guidance," "imply," "intend," "may," "objective," "opportunity," "outlook," "plan," "position," "potential," "predict," "project," "prospective," "pursue," "seek," "should," "strategy," "target," "would," "will" or other similar expressions that convey the uncertainty of future events or outcomes. Such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors, some of which are beyond the company's control and are difficult to predict. Andeavor Logistics has included in its Form 10-K for the year ended Dec. 31, 2018 and in its Forms 10-Q, cautionary language identifying important factors, though not necessarily all such factors, that could cause future outcomes to differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements.

We have based our forward-looking statements on our current expectations, estimates and projections about our industry. We caution that these statements are not guarantees of future performance and you should not rely unduly on them, as they involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions that we cannot predict. In addition, we have based many of these forward-looking statements on assumptions about future events that may prove to be inaccurate. While our management considers these assumptions to be reasonable, they are inherently subject to significant business, economic, competitive, regulatory and other risks, contingencies and uncertainties, most of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control. Accordingly, our actual results may differ materially from the future performance that we have expressed or forecast in our forward-looking statements.  We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements except to the extent required by applicable law. Copies of Andeavor Logistics' Form 10-K and Forms 10-Q are available on the SEC website, Andeavor Logistics' website at http://ir.andeavorlogistics.com or by contacting Andeavor Logistics' Investor Relations office.

Non-GAAP Measures

As a supplement to our financial information presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"), our management uses certain "non-GAAP" measures to analyze our results of operations, assess internal performance against budgeted and forecasted amounts and evaluate future impacts to our financial performance as a result of capital investments, acquisitions, divestitures and other strategic projects. These measures are important factors in assessing our operating results and profitability and include:

  • Financial non-GAAP measures:
    • EBITDA - U.S. GAAP-based net earnings before interest, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization expense;
    • Distributable Cash Flow - U.S. GAAP-based net cash flow from EBITDA adjusted for amounts spent on maintenance capital net of reimbursements and other adjustments;
    • Pro forma LTM EBITDA - Last twelve months ("LTM") of our EBITDA adjusted for pro forma contributions from acquisitions; and
    • Segment EBITDA - A segment's U.S. GAAP-based operating income before depreciation and amortization expense plus equity in earnings (loss) of equity method investments and other income (expense), net.
  • Liquidity non-GAAP measures:
    • Distributable Cash Flow - U.S. GAAP-based net cash flow from operating activities adjusted for changes in working capital, amounts spent on maintenance capital net of reimbursements and other adjustments not expected to settle in cash;
    • Distributable Cash Flow Attributable to Common Unitholders - Distributable Cash Flow minus distributions associated with the preferred units; and
    • Leverage Ratio - Total debt divided by Pro forma LTM EBITDA.

We present these measures because we believe they may help investors, analysts, lenders and ratings agencies analyze our results of operations and liquidity in conjunction with our U.S. GAAP results, including but not limited to:

  • our operating performance as compared to other publicly traded partnerships in the midstream energy industry, without regard to historical cost basis or financing methods;
  • the ability of our assets to generate sufficient cash flow to make distributions to our unitholders;
  • 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.

Management also uses these measures to assess internal performance, and we believe they may provide meaningful supplemental information to the users of our financial statements. Non-GAAP measures have important limitations as analytical tools, because they exclude some, but not all, items that affect net earnings, operating income and net cash from operating activities. These measures should not be considered substitutes for their most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures. See "Reconciliation of Amounts Reported Under U.S. GAAP" and "Segment Reconciliation of Amounts Reported Under U.S. GAAP" for reconciliations between non-GAAP measures and their most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures.

Items Impacting Comparability

Other than certain assets acquired from the 2018 Drop Down, our Predecessors did not record revenues with Andeavor and our Predecessors recorded general and administrative expenses and financed operations differently than the Partnership. On August 6, 2018, we completed the 2018 Drop Down for total consideration of $1.55 billion. As an entity under common control with Andeavor, who merged with and became a wholly-owned subsidiary of MPC effective October 1, 2018, we accounted for the transfers of businesses as if the transfer occurred at the beginning of the period, and prior periods are retrospectively adjusted to furnish comparative information. Accordingly, the accompanying results of operations have been retrospectively adjusted to include the historical results of the assets acquired prior to the effective date of the acquisition.

Other includes transaction costs related to recent acquisitions, non-cash legal reserves and unit-based compensation expense.

(g)

Represents the cash distributions earned by the Preferred Units for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 assuming a distribution is declared by the Board, however, we did not declare a distribution for the first half of 2019 due to the MPLX Merger. Cash distributions to be paid to holders of the Preferred Units are not available to common unitholders.
