HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Crestwood Equity Partners LP (NYSE: CEQP) (“Crestwood Equity” or “CEQP”) reported today its financial results for the three months ended June 30, 2014.
Crestwood Equity owns the general partner interest of Crestwood Midstream Partners LP (NYSE: CMLP) (“Crestwood Midstream” or “CMLP”). Crestwood Midstream owns the majority of the assets of the consolidated results herein. Crestwood Equity directly owns an NGL supply and logistics business and the Tres Palacios natural gas storage facility. Crestwood Midstream today issued a separate news release reporting stand-alone results for its operations.
“Results for Crestwood Equity’s stand-alone operations in the second quarter 2014 were below the first quarter due to a combination of factors, including a lower seasonal quarterly contribution from our NGL supply and logistics business, and an operating loss at our Tres Palacios gas storage facility in Texas,” stated Robert G. Phillips, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Crestwood’s general partner. “Additionally, CMLP’s decision to delay its increase in quarterly distributions as it improves its coverage ratio had an impact on CEQP’s coverage ratio,” commented Phillips.
Second Quarter 2014 Financial Highlights (1) (2)
-
Crestwood Equity reported adjusted earnings before interest, taxes,
depreciation, amortization and accretion (“Adjusted EBITDA”) for the
second quarter 2014 of $117.7 million, compared with Adjusted EBITDA
of $116.6 million in the first quarter 2014.
- Assets owned by CMLP contributed Adjusted EBITDA of $109.7 million for the second quarter 2014, compared to $98.9 million in the first quarter 2014.
- Assets owned by CEQP contributed Adjusted EBITDA of $8.0 million for the second quarter 2014, compared to $17.7 million in the first quarter. The $9.7 million decrease was primarily attributable to lower seasonal volumes and margin contribution of $6.3 million from our NGL supply and logistics business and a $3.6 million lower contribution from our Tres Palacios asset which was the result of the expiration of historical firm gas storage contracts on March 31, 2014.
- Crestwood Equity reported a net loss of $4.8 million for the second quarter 2014, which included a $6.5 million non-cash accrual related to an earn-out premium associated with the acquisition of the Marcellus gathering system from Antero Resources (“Antero”) in 2012.
- Crestwood Equity reported distributable cash flow attributable to its operations of $13.4 million for the second quarter 2014, compared to $19.7 million in the first quarter 2014. The decrease was primarily due to lower Adjusted EBITDA, partially offset by lower maintenance capital spending attributable to CEQP assets.
“Following normal seasonal patterns, demand for LPG products was greatly reduced in the second quarter 2014 as compared to the record winter of 2013/14, which resulted in a quarterly decrease in Crestwood Equity’s NGL volumes sold, processed and transported from the first quarter 2014. As a result of the lower seasonal demand and growing supply in the second quarter, prices for propane and butane (which are our primary sales, storage and transportation LPG products) declined in the quarter and resulted in lower seasonal spreads. These factors along with temporary infrastructure disruptions of some NGL supply volumes in the Marcellus/Utica region affected our second quarter 2014 marketing and trucking results. We expect normal seasonal demand and our growing NGL supply position in the Marcellus/Utica region to increase in the third and fourth quarters as new supply dedicated to Crestwood Equity under long-term contracts with customers is made available for marketing and transportation,” stated Phillips.
“At Tres Palacios, demand for Gulf Coast storage service continues to be at record lows primarily due to continued weakening of gas price volatility and seasonal spreads caused largely by the ongoing regional oversupply of natural gas relative to demand. We do expect to see improvement in storage fundamentals and demand for storage services at Tres Palacios as regional gas demand grows along with a ramp up in LNG exports and Mexico natural gas demand over the next few years. Additionally, despite CMLP’s quarter-to-quarter improvement in Adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow and achieving record natural gas and crude oil volumes, CMLP held its cash distributions flat in the second quarter 2014 to improve its coverage ratio. CMLP’s coverage ratio improved from 0.83 times in the first quarter 2014 to 0.96 times in the second quarter, moving it substantially closer to its coverage goal above 1.0 times. We believe that CMLP’s continued improvement will lead to the resumption of quarterly increases of its distributions which will quickly improve CEQP’s distribution coverage ratio and enable the resumption of quarterly distributions at CEQP,” commented Phillips.
Second Quarter 2014 Operating Results and Outlook
Gathering and processing segment EBITDA totaled $51.0 million in the second quarter 2014, compared with $48.2 million in the first quarter 2014, excluding the impact of the non-cash accrual for the Antero earn-out. Gathering volumes increased 7% to 1,213 million cubic feet per day (“MMcf/d”) in the second quarter 2014 compared to first quarter. The increase in gathering volumes was largely due to increased production in the Marcellus Shale and in the dry gas areas in the Barnett Shale. All of the assets included in the gathering and processing segment are owned by CMLP.
Storage and transportation segment reported consolidated EBITDA of $34.9 million during the second quarter 2014, compared with $38.0 million in the first quarter 2014. Segment EBITDA attributable to assets owned by CMLP totaled $37.8 million during the second quarter, compared with $36.8 million during the first quarter 2014 primarily attributable to higher storage and transportation volumes and margins from CMLP’s northeast natural gas storage and pipeline assets.
CEQP’s Tres Palacios storage and transportation asset contributed a loss of $2.3 million to consolidated segment EBITDA during the second quarter. The loss was attributable to a combination of factors including the expiration of 11 billion cubic feet (“Bcf”) of long-term firm storage contracts on March 31, 2014, and a slight reduction in hub services during the quarter each due to a lack of demand for Gulf Coast storage services prompted by continued weakening of storage fundamentals in 2014. Mitigating that loss to a certain extent, CEQP sold approximately 4 Bcf of new firm storage services contracts during the second quarter 2014 with terms of one to two years at current market rates which were substantially below the rates paid by customers under the expired contracts. CEQP continues to evaluate a wide range of near-term and long-term development options for the Tres Palacios facility and expects to receive a decision on our capacity abandonment application from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission in the second half of 2014.
NGL and crude services segment reported consolidated EBITDA, excluding non-cash fair value adjustments on commodity inventory-based derivative contracts, of $46.7 million during the second quarter 2014, a 4% increase from $45.0 million in the first quarter 2014. Assets owned by CMLP contributed $34.7 million during the second quarter, a 32% increase from the $26.3 million contributed during the first quarter 2014. The increase was primarily attributable to improved performance from the Bakken assets including increased crude, gas and water gathering volumes on the Arrow system and increased crude oil rail loading volumes at the COLT Hub.
CEQP’s NGL and crude services assets contributed $12.0 million in the second quarter compared to $18.7 million in the first quarter 2014. The $6.7 million decrease in contribution from CEQP’s NGL supply and logistics business was due primarily to a seasonal decrease in volumes sold, processed and transported, offset by slightly higher per unit margins in some areas of the business. CEQP expects demand for LPG products to increase in the third and fourth quarters based upon normal seasonal weather patterns. In the Marcellus and Utica Shale plays, we continue to enter into long-term supply agreements with producers, processors and fractionators for NGL volumes which are expected to grow substantially in the years ahead as critical infrastructure is built.
Corporate expenses include general and administrative expenses not allocated to the operating segments above. Corporate expenses attributable to CMLP and CEQP totaled $21.3 million and $2.7 million, respectively, during the second quarter 2014, compared with $24.1 million and $3.7 million, respectively, during the first quarter 2014. Second quarter 2014 results included $6.2 million of non-cash compensation expense and $2.2 million of significant transaction-related expenses, compared to $5.4 million and $6.5 million, respectively, during the first quarter 2014.
2014 Guidance
The information provided below relates to operating assets owned directly by CEQP. CMLP today issued a separate news release containing an updated 2014 business outlook for its operating assets.
CEQP issued original 2014 guidance including stand-alone Adjusted EBITDA in a range of $55 million to $60 million and distributable cash flow in a range of $85 million to $95 million inclusive of distributions received from CMLP. During the first half of 2014, CEQP’s Adjusted EBITDA from its operating assets totaled $25.7 million, including a $17.7 million contribution in the first quarter and a seasonally lower $8.0 million contribution in the second quarter. During the first half of 2014, CMLP did not increase its quarterly distributions due to its goal to improve its distributable cash flow coverage ratio to above 1.0 times before resuming quarterly distribution increases. As noted above, CMLP significantly improved its coverage ratio to 0.96 times in the second quarter.
Based upon CEQP’s operating performance in the first half of 2014 and current operating assumptions for the second half of 2014, CEQP is revising its range of full year Adjusted EBITDA contribution of its operating assets to $50 million to $55 million, largely attributable to the expectation of a minimal contribution from Tres Palacios during the remainder of 2014, offset by a seasonal improvement in CEQP’s NGL supply and logistics business. Notwithstanding the modest decrease in revised 2014 Adjusted EBITDA guidance, CEQP depends on CMLP distributions for approximately 30-35% of its expected distributable cash flow. Due to CMLP’s current objective of coverage ratio improvement before resuming quarterly distribution increases, CEQP has determined that it is prudent to revise its full year 2014 distributable cash flow to a range of $65 million to $70 million. Given CMLP’s positive second quarter performance resulting in an improved coverage ratio, an increase in CMLP distributions in the second half of 2014 would have a positive impact on CEQP’s coverage ratio, and would lead the way to an ultimate resumption of distribution increases at CEQP, which benefits from the 50/50 incentive distribution structure from CMLP’s underlying business which is clearly on a path to improvement.
Liquidity and Capital Spending
At June 30, 2014, debt outstanding was primarily composed of $1,461 million of fixed-rate senior notes issued primarily by Crestwood Midstream, approximately $412 million outstanding under Crestwood Midstream’s revolving credit facility and $404 million outstanding under Crestwood Equity’s revolving credit facility.
Organic growth capital expenditures and joint venture contributions for the six months ended June 30, 2014, totaled approximately $194.1 million, of which $191.0 million was attributable to CMLP. The majority of capital spending was related to construction of pipeline laterals and compression equipment in the Marcellus Shale, expansion of the COLT Hub and Arrow gathering system in the Bakken Shale, and capital contributions to Jackalope Gas Gathering for construction of the Bucking Horse processing facility in the PRB Niobrara.

(a) EBITDA is defined as income before income taxes, plus net interest and debt expense, and depreciation, amortization and accretion expense. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA considers the adjusted earnings impact of our unconsolidated affiliates by adjusting our equity earnings or losses from our unconsolidated affiliates for our proportionate share of their depreciation and interest, the impact of certain significant items, such as non-cash equity compensation expenses, gains and impairments of long-lived assets and goodwill, third party costs incurred related to potential and completed acquisitions, loss on contingent consideration, and other transactions identified in a specific reporting period. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not measures calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), as they do not include deductions for items such as depreciation, amortization and accretion, interest and income taxes, which are necessary to maintain our business. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered an alternative to net income, operating cash flow or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA calculations may vary among entities, so our computation may not be comparable to measures used by other companies.
(b) Cash interest expense less amortization of deferred financing costs plus bond premium amortization plus or minus fair value adjustment of interest rate swaps.
(c) Maintenance capital expenditures are defined as those capital expenditures which do not increase operating capacity or revenues from existing levels.
(d) Crestwood Midstream distributable cash flow less incentive distributions paid to the general partner and the public LP ownership interest in Crestwood Midstream.
(e) Distributable cash flow is defined as Adjusted EBITDA, less cash interest expense, maintenance capital expenditures, income taxes, deficiency payments (primarily related to deferred revenue), and public Crestwood Midstream LP unitholders interest in CMLP distributable cash flow. Distributable cash flow should not be considered an alternative to cash flows from operating activities or any other measure of financial performance calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles as those items are used to measure operating performance, liquidity, or the ability to service debt obligations. We believe that distributable cash flow provides additional information for evaluating our ability to declare and pay distributions to unitholders. Distributable cash flow, as we define it, may not be comparable to distributable cash flow or similarly titled measures used by other corporations and partnerships.

(a) EBITDA is defined as income before income taxes, plus net interest and debt expense, and depreciation, amortization and accretion expense. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA considers the adjusted earnings impact of our unconsolidated affiliates by adjusting our equity earnings or losses from our unconsolidated affiliates for our proportionate share of their depreciation and interest, the impact of certain significant items, such as non-cash equity compensation expenses, gains and impairments of long-lived assets and goodwill, third party costs incurred related to potential and completed acquisitions, gain or loss on contingent consideration, and other transactions identified in a specific reporting period. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not measures calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), as they do not include deductions for items such as depreciation, amortization and accretion, interest and income taxes, which are necessary to maintain our business. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered an alternative to net income, operating cash flow or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA calculations may vary among entities, so our computation may not be comparable to measures used by other companies.

| Reconciliation to Net Income | ||
|
(in millions) |
||
|
(unaudited) |
||
| Net income | $115 - $140 | |
| Interest and debt expense, net | $135 | |
| Depreciation, amortization and accretion | $240 | |
| Adjusted EBITDA | $490 - $515 | |
| Cash interest expense (a) | ($115) | |
| Maintenance capital expenditures (b) | ($25) | |
| Public Crestwood Midstream LP unitholders interest in CMLP distributable cash flow (c) | ($285) - ($305) | |
| Distributable cash flow attributable to CEQP (d) | $65 - $70 | |
(a) Cash interest expense less amortization of deferred financing costs plus bond premium amortization plus or minus fair value adjustment of interest rate swaps.
(b) Maintenance capital expenditures are defined as those capital expenditures which do not increase operating capacity or revenues from existing levels.
(c) Crestwood Midstream distributable cash flow less incentive distributions paid to the general partner and the public LP ownership interest in Crestwood Midstream.
(d) Distributable cash flow is defined as Adjusted EBITDA, less cash interest expense, maintenance capital expenditures, income taxes, deficiency payments (primarily related to deferred revenue), and public Crestwood Midstream LP unitholders interest in CMLP distributable cash flow. Distributable cash flow should not be considered an alternative to cash flows from operating activities or any other measure of financial performance calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles as those items are used to measure operating performance, liquidity, or the ability to service debt obligations. We believe that distributable cash flow provides additional information for evaluating our ability to declare and pay distributions to unitholders. Distributable cash flow, as we define it, may not be comparable to distributable cash flow or similarly titled measures used by other corporations and partnerships.
