  • Dividend Yield: ~6%

Adviser Access spoke to Enterprise's President Randy Fowler about how the company has negotiated tough times in the energy market and plans for future growth.

Advisor Access: The question "Is the Master Limited Partnership (MLP) model broken?" keeps coming up. Enterprise Products Partners seems to be a case of how the model can and is working. Can you explain the steps the company has taken to make that happen?

Randy Fowler: We hear that quite a bit also. We believe the idea is a simplistic, broad-brush overstatement. The energy industry is a cyclical industry. Sometimes the oil and natural gas producers are most impacted, other times it may be the refining sector or the petrochemical sector. This time producers and oilfield services have been most impacted from an earnings standpoint. Some midstream impacted more than others. The earnings and cash flow of many midstream MLPs have held up quite well, which is expected from a primarily fee-based business model. However, the correlation of equity prices for the MLP sector with crude oil prices, as measured by the Alerian MLP Index, has been almost as high as that of the oil and gas producers…

AA: That leads into the next question: How does Enterprise balance growth in new infrastructure and financing requirements while still protecting investors through this downturn in the energy cycle?
