OKLAHOMA CITY--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Access Midstream Partners, L.P. (NYSE:ACMP) today announced financial results for the 2013 third quarter. The Partnership’s adjusted EBITDA for the 2013 third quarter totaled $227.0 million, an increase of $107.5 million, or 90.0%, from 2012 third quarter adjusted EBITDA of $119.5 million. Net income attributable to the Partnership totaled $78.2 million in the 2013 third quarter, an increase of $28.0 million, or 55.8%, from 2012 third quarter net income of $50.2 million. Distributable cash flow (DCF) for the 2013 third quarter totaled $171.5 million, an increase of $85.2 million, or 98.7%, from 2012 third quarter DCF of $86.3 million and resulted in a distribution coverage ratio of 1.51. Financial terms are defined on pages two through four of this release.
Throughput for the 2013 third quarter totaled 349.2 billion cubic feet (bcf) of natural gas, or 3.80 bcf per day, an increase of 34.3% from 2012 third quarter throughput of 2.83 bcf per day. The increase was driven primarily by throughput from the Eagle Ford and Haynesville assets acquired in December 2012, as well as an increase in Marcellus throughput. The Partnership’s revenues for the 2013 third quarter totaled $260.9 million, an increase of $104.8 million, or 67.1%, compared to 2012 third quarter revenues of $156.1 million. Revenues in both periods exclude revenues attributable to the Partnership’s equity investments as those revenues are accounted for as part of the Partnership’s investments in unconsolidated affiliates. If the Partnership’s proportional share of revenue from equity investments was included, revenue for the 2013 third quarter would have totaled $327.5 million, an increase of $136.3 million, or 71.3%, compared to the 2012 third quarter.
Capital expenditures during the 2013 third quarter totaled $398.9 million, including maintenance capital expenditures of $27.5 million. These capital expenditures included $180.3 million for the Partnership’s share of capital expenditures in entities accounted for as equity investments. Capital expenditures during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 totaled $1,232.9 million, including maintenance capital expenditures of $82.5 million. These capital expenditures included $536.0 million for the Partnership’s share of capital expenditures in entities accounted for as equity investments.
Partnership Increases Cash Distribution
On October 25, 2013, the Board of Directors of the Partnership’s general partner declared a quarterly cash distribution of $0.535 per unit for the 2013 third quarter, an increase of $0.10, or 23.0%, per unit over the 2012 third quarter distribution and an increase of $0.05, or 10.3%, per unit over the 2013 second quarter distribution. The distribution will be paid on November 14, 2013 to unitholders of record at the close of business on November 7, 2013. DCF of $171.5 million for the 2013 third quarter provided distribution coverage of 1.51 times the amount required for the Partnership to fund the distribution to the limited partners and the general partner.
Management Comments
J. Mike Stice, Access Midstream Partners’ Chief Executive Officer, commented, “I could not be more pleased with our execution this quarter. From our on-time delivery of gathering, processing and fractionation facilities in the Utica region by Access and its partners, to the record dry gas volumes in the Marcellus North, our execution of these world-class facilities and assets has been extraordinary. We have delivered another quarter of strong financial results consistent with our best-in-class fixed fee business model. As a result of continued outstanding operational and financial performance, the Board has elected to step-up the distribution this quarter by five cents per unit, returning strong, predictable cash flow back to our investors. From this new baseline, the Partnership expects to grow limited partner distributions at a sustained 15% rate consistent with previous guidance.”
Senior Notes Offering
On August 14, 2013, the Partnership closed the offering of $400 million of additional 5.875% senior notes due 2021. The notes were issued at a price of 101.5% of the principal amount. The notes form a single series with the Partnership’s existing 5.875% senior notes due 2021, which were initially issued on April 19, 2011. The Partnership received net proceeds of $400.8 million from the senior notes offering, which were used for general partnership purposes, including funding working capital, repayment of indebtedness and funding the Partnership’s capital expenditure program.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release and accompanying schedules include the non-GAAP financial measures of adjusted EBITDA and DCF. The accompanying schedules provide reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as an alternative to GAAP measures such as net income, net cash provided by operating activities or any other measure of liquidity or financial performance calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Investors should not consider adjusted EBITDA, DCF or adjusted DCF in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Partnership’s results as reported under GAAP. Because these non-GAAP financial measures may be defined differently by other companies in our industry, the Partnership’s definition of adjusted EBITDA, DCF and adjusted DCF may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing their utility.
Adjusted EBITDA. The Partnership agreement defines adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before income tax expense, interest expense, depreciation and amortization expense and certain other items management believes affect the comparability of operating results. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that management and external users of our consolidated financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies, may use to assess:
- The Partnership’s operating performance as compared to other publicly traded partnerships in the midstream energy industry, without regard to capital structure, historical cost basis or financing methods;
- The Partnership’s ability to incur and service debt and fund capital expenditures;
- The ability of the Partnership’s assets to generate sufficient cash flow to make distributions to unitholders; and
- The viability of acquisitions and other capital expenditure projects and the returns on investment of various investment opportunities.
Management believes it is appropriate to exclude certain items from EBITDA because management believes these items affect the comparability of operating results. The Partnership believes that the presentation of adjusted EBITDA in this press release provides information useful to investors in assessing its financial condition and results of operations. The GAAP measure most directly comparable to adjusted EBITDA is net income.
Distributable Cash Flow. The Partnership agreement defines DCF as adjusted EBITDA attributable to the Partnership adjusted for:
- Addition of interest income;
- Subtraction of net cash paid for interest expense;
- Subtraction of maintenance capital expenditures; and
- Subtraction of income taxes.
Management compares the DCF the Partnership generates to the cash distributions it expects to pay its partners. Using this metric, management computes a distribution coverage ratio. DCF is an important non-GAAP financial measure for our limited partners since it serves as an indicator of our success in providing a cash return on investment. Specifically, this financial measure indicates to investors whether or not the Partnership is generating cash flows at a level that can sustain or support an increase in its quarterly cash distributions. DCF is also a quantitative standard used by the investment community with respect to publicly traded partnerships because the value of a partnership unit is in part measured by its yield, which is based on the amount of cash distributions a partnership can pay to a unitholder. The GAAP measure most directly comparable to DCF is net cash provided by operating activities.

Should payments be due under the minimum volume commitment with respect to any year, the Partnership recognizes the associated revenue in the fourth quarter of that year. |
