HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Genesis Energy, L.P. (NYSE:GEL) today announced its fourth quarter and annual results. Results for the quarterly and annual periods included the following:
- For the fourth quarter of 2011, we generated total Available Cash before Reserves of $37.3 million, an increase of $8.1 million, or 28%, over the fourth quarter of 2010. For the full year of 2011, we generated Available Cash before Reserves of $138.2 million compared to $101.5 million for 2010. Available Cash before Reserves is a non-GAAP measure that is defined and reconciled later in this press release to its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, net cash provided by operating activities. Net cash provided by operating activities was $19.2 million and $56.4 million for the fourth quarters of 2011 and 2010, respectively, and $58.3 million and $90.5 million for the full years of 2011 and 2010, respectively. The decreases in net cash by operating activities primarily reflect higher working capital requirements during the 2011 periods.
- The Partnership reported net income for the quarter ended December 31, 2011 of $7.8 million compared to a net loss of $74.7 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2010. Net income per common unit was $0.10 for the 2011 fourth quarter. Included in net loss in the 2010 quarterly period was $75.6 million related to non-cash management compensation expense that was borne entirely by our general partner. As a result, our common unitholders’ share of our net income for the fourth quarter of 2010 was $1.0 million, or $0.02 per unit.
- For the year ended December 31, 2011, we had net income of $51.2 million. For the year ended December 31, 2010, we had a net loss attributable to the Partnership of $48.5 million. Net income per common unit for the year ended December 31, 2011 was $0.75. Included in the 2010 annual period was $76.9 million of non-cash management compensation expense borne by our general partner. Net income allocable to our common unitholders was $19.9 million, or $0.49 per unit for 2010.
- Our performance allowed us to make a distribution in February of $0.44 per unit, a 10% increase over the 2010 fourth quarter distribution. This represents the twenty-sixth consecutive quarter in which Genesis has increased its distribution. During this period, twenty-one of these quarterly increases have been 10% or greater year-over-year.
Grant Sims, CEO said “We successfully completed several growth initiatives and strategic acquisitions during 2011 and into early 2012. In August, we expanded our black oil service capabilities by adding 30 barges and 14 push boats to our existing fleet. In fact, earlier this week, we purchased outright the seven barges that had been subleased since the transaction had closed.”
“We also increased our crude oil and refined products service capabilities in shale play areas through the acquisition of refining and pipeline assets in the Niobrara play in Wyoming and continue work on the expansion of our crude oil infrastructure in Texas, enhancing our ability to provide services in the Eagle Ford production area and the refinery complexes in the Houston/Texas City area. We are in the process of increasing our fleet of trucks to complement our expanding pipeline and terminal services.”
“Last month, we completed the acquisition of interests in several Gulf of Mexico crude oil pipeline systems from Marathon Oil Corporation and announced plans with Enterprise Products Partners, L.P. to build a crude oil gathering pipeline in the deepwater Gulf of Mexico. The acquired pipelines from Marathon will complement our existing and our planned infrastructure and enhance our ability to provide attractive capacity and market optionality to producers for their existing and future developments as well as our refining customers onshore in Texas and Louisiana. Our planned pipeline with Enterprise will allow us to interconnect with existing shallow-water pipelines for delivery of crude oil produced from world-class domestic reservoirs to multiple refinery markets in the Gulf Coast.”
”In addition to these initiatives, we have recently begun construction of a new crude-by-rail unloading terminal connected to our existing oil pipeline at Walnut Hill, Florida. This facility will be capable of handling unit train shipments of oil for direct deliveries to one refinery customer and indirect delivery, through third-party common carriers, to potentially multiple other markets in the southeast. We anticipate the facility to be fully operational in the third quarter of 2012. Finally, we have also initiated construction of a 16-inch diameter loop of our existing oil pipeline into Texas City, supported by a term contract with one of our refining customers, which will allow us to significantly expand our total service capabilities into the Texas City area by in the second quarter of 2013.”
Sims concluded, “The fundamentals of our businesses are strong and the opportunities in front of us are great. For 2012, we are targeting to continue the trend of delivering at least 10% year-over-year growth in distributions to our unitholders while maintaining a conservative and flexible capital structure. It goes without saying that our growth and success in enhancing long-term value for our unitholders would not be possible without the contribution of our employees and their dedication to safe, responsible and efficient operations.”
Financial Results
Comparison Fourth Quarter 2011 to Fourth Quarter 2010
Available Cash before Reserves (a non-GAAP measure) increased to $37.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2011 as compared to $29.2 million for the same period in 2010. The primary components impacting Available Cash before Reserves are Segment Margin, corporate general and administrative expenses (excluding non-cash charges), interest expense and maintenance capital expenditures. Variances from the 2010 fourth quarter in these components are explained as follows:
Segment Margin
Segment Margin is defined and reconciled later in this press release to income before income taxes. During the 2011 fourth quarter, Segment Margin increased $11.1 million over the 2010 fourth quarter reflecting increases in all of our segments. For the fourth quarters of 2011 and 2010, segment results were as follows:

Segment Margin was calculated as revenues less cost of sales, operating expenses and segment general and administrative expenses, plus our share of the distributable cash generated by our joint ventures. Segment Margin excludes the non-cash effects of our stock appreciation rights plan and unrealized gains and losses from derivative transactions, and includes the non-income portion of payments received under direct financing leases. A reconciliation of Segment Margin to income before income taxes is presented for periods presented in the table at the end of this release. |

Pipeline transportation Segment Margin increased $2.7 million, or 19%, between the fourth quarter periods. Our share of the distributable cash generated by Cameron Highway Oil Pipeline increased $1.5 million from the 2010 fourth quarter as a result of owning an interest in the pipeline for a full quarter in 2011, although extended maintenance and planned improvements by a producer at a field connected to the pipeline reduced volumes throughout the fourth quarter. Overall throughput increased on our onshore crude oil pipeline systems by 4,832 barrels per day increasing oil tariff revenues by $1.4 million.
Our refinery services Segment Margin increased $2.5 million, or 14%, in the 2011 quarter compared to the same period in 2010. NaHS sales volumes increased by 2,577 dry short tons (DST) from 38,384 DST in the fourth quarter of 2010 to 40,961 DST in the fourth quarter of 2011. Revenues increased 26% to $58.5 million during the 2011 fourth quarter primarily as a function of the increase in the average index price for caustic soda. Market prices for caustic soda increased from an average of approximately $425 per DST in the fourth quarter of 2010 to an average of approximately $575 per DST during the fourth quarter of 2011. Our cost of sales increased correspondingly to the rise in the average index price for caustic soda.
Supply and logistics Segment Margin increased $5.9 million, or 59%, between the quarters. The primary factor for Segment Margin increasing quarter-over-quarter was the addition of the black oil barge transportation business acquired in August 2011. Increased volumes, operating efficiencies and changes we made in some of our existing crude oil and petroleum products commercial arrangements increased Segment Margin. Additionally, increased production from new sources of crude oil has increased the demand for our services.
Other Components of Available Cash
Corporate general and administrative expenses included in the calculation of Available Cash before Reserves increased by $1.8 million due to an increase in personnel resulting in greater salaries and benefits expenses and costs related to technology systems support. Interest expense in the 2011 fourth quarter was also greater than in the 2010 period due to issuance of unsecured notes in November 2010 to finance our investment in Cameron Highway Oil Pipeline. This additional financing was the primary factor in the $2.9 million increase in our interest costs. Also affecting Available Cash before Reserves between the fourth quarter periods was an increase in proceeds from the sales of surplus assets of $1.9 million in the 2011 fourth quarter.
Several adjustments to net income attributable to the Partnership are required to calculate Available Cash before Reserves. The calculation of Available Cash before Reserves for the quarters ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 was as follows:

Other Components of Net Income
In the fourth quarter of 2011, the Partnership recorded net income of $7.8 million compared to a net loss attributable to the Partnership of $74.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2010. In addition to the factors impacting Available Cash before Reserves, net income included an increase quarter-over-quarter of $6.1 million in depreciation and amortization expense primarily reflecting the acquisition of our black oil barge assets in August. In addition, we recorded an income tax benefit of $2.0 million during the 2011 fourth quarter compared to an expense of $0.7 million in the prior period. The current period also included a non-cash unrealized loss on derivative instruments of $5.4 million compared to a non-cash unrealized gain of $0.7 in the prior year period.
Non-cash equity-based compensation expense totaled $78.4 million in the 2010 fourth quarter, substantially all of which was borne by our general partner and associated with the elimination of our IDRs. Net loss for the 2010 fourth quarter also included $10.7 million of expenses related to the acquisition of assets, which were primarily one-time transaction costs. Expense related to non-cash compensation and transaction costs were $1.0 million and $0.9 million, respectively, in the 2011 fourth quarter.
Comparison 2011 to 2010
Available Cash before Reserves for the full year 2011 increased by $36.7 million over the previous year to a total of $138.2 million. Segment Margin increased by $52.9 million reflecting increases in all of our segments.

Pipeline transportation Segment Margin increased $19.6 million or 41% in 2011 as compared to 2010. Our share of the distributable cash generated by Cameron Highway increased $15.3 million during 2011 as a result of owning our 50% interest in the pipeline for a full year in 2011. Crude oil tariffs increased $4.5 million primarily reflecting increased volumes on our Texas system due to increased demand by one of the refiners connected to our system with capabilities for processing light crude such as that being produced in the Eagle Ford Shale area.
Refinery services Segment Margin increased $11.7 million or 19% between 2011 and 2010. NaHS sales volumes increased 2% to 147,670 DST in 2011 primarily reflecting increased demand for paper products and packaging materials due to economic improvements in the world’s emerging economies. Revenues increased 33% to $210.4 million during 2011 as a function of the increase in the average index price for caustic soda. Market prices for caustic soda increased to an average of approximately $513 per DST in 2011 from an average of approximately $353 per DST during 2010. Our cost of sales increased correspondingly to the rise in the average index price for caustic soda, although this was somewhat offset by the efficiencies gained from our bulk purchase, logistic and storage capabilities, as well as operating efficiencies realized at several of our sour gas processing locations.
Supply and logistics Segment Margin increased $21.6 million or 56% in 2011 primarily due to increased volumes, improved operating efficiencies and modifications to our existing crude oil and petroleum products commercial arrangements. Volumes increased 14% from 2010 due to increased shale oil production and a greater availability of crude oil and heavy-end petroleum products from increased refinery utilization in our operating areas. Greater demand for fuel oil and other heavy-end petroleum products in countries outside the United States helped to sustain the price environment for the products that we sell. Segment Margin also increased year-over-year due to the addition of the black oil barge transportation business acquired in August 2011.
Other Components of Available Cash
Increases in our interest costs of $20.9 million partly offset the increase in Segment Margin. The issuance of $250 million of unsecured notes in mid-November 2010 was the primary reason for the interest expense increase. These funds were utilized for the acquisition of our interest in Cameron Highway Oil Pipeline. Additionally, our average debt balance under our revolving credit agreement was greater in 2011 by $8.1 million reflecting new growth initiative projects.
Corporate general and administrative expenses increased by $5.3 million compared to 2010 due to increases in salaries and benefits related to increased personnel.
Other items affecting Available cash before Reserve between 2011 and 2010 were the increase in the cash effects of sales of certain assets of $5.5 million and an increase in maintenance capital expenditures of $1.4 million.
Several adjustments to net income attributable to the Partnership are required to calculate Available Cash before Reserves. The calculation of Available Cash before Reserves for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 was as follows:

Other Components of Net Income
Net income was $51.2 million for 2011 compared to a net loss attributable to the Partnership of $48.5 million for 2010, an increase of $99.7 million. In addition to the factors impacting Available Cash before Reserves, net income included an increase of $8.4 million in depreciation and amortization expense primarily reflecting the acquisition of our black oil barge assets in August 2011.
Non-cash equity-based compensation expense totaled $83.0 million in 2010 reflecting an arrangement between our management team and our general partner resulting in charges of $76.9 million, substantially all of which were borne by our general partner and associated with the elimination of our IDRs. We also incurred transaction costs of $11.3 million in 2010 related to the restructuring of our IDRs and growth projects including the acquisition of our 50% interest in Cameron Highway. In 2011, transaction costs totaled $4.4 million.
Distributions
We have increased our quarterly distribution rate for twenty-six consecutive quarters. During this period, twenty-one of those quarterly increases have been 10% or greater year-over-year. Over the last four quarters, we have increased the distribution rate on our common units by a total of $0.04 per unit, or 10%.

This press release and the accompanying schedules include non-generally accepted accounting principle (“non-GAAP”) financial measures of available cash and Adjusted EBITDA. The accompanying schedules provide reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Our non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as alternatives to GAAP measures of liquidity or financial performance. We believe that investors benefit from having access to the same financial measures being utilized by management, lenders, analysts and other market participants.
Available cash before Reserves. Available Cash before Reserves is a measure used by management to compare cash flows generated by us to the cash distribution paid to our common unitholders. This is an important financial measure to the external users of financial statements, such as investors, commercial banks, research analysts and rating agencies, to assess: (1) the financial performance of our assets without regard to financing methods, capital structures, or historical cost basis; (2) the ability of our assets to generate cash sufficient to pay interest cost and support our indebtedness; (3) our operating performance and return on capital as compared to those of other companies in the midstream energy industry, without regard to financing and capital structure; and (4) the viability of projects and the overall rates of return on alternative investment opportunities. Lastly, Available Cash before Reserves (also referred to as distributable cash flow) is the quantitative standard used throughout the investment community with respect to publicly-traded partnerships. Available Cash before Reserves data presented in this press release may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies as Available Cash before Reserves excludes some, but not all items that affect net income or loss and because these measures may vary among other companies.
We define available cash as net income or loss as adjusted for specific items, the most significant of which are the addition of non-cash expenses (such as depreciation), the substitution of cash generated by our joint ventures in lieu of our equity income attributable to such joint ventures, the elimination of gains and losses on asset sales (except those from the sale of surplus assets) and unrealized gains and losses on derivative transactions, the elimination of expenses related to acquiring assets that provide new sources of cash flows and the subtraction of maintenance capital expenditures, which are expenditures that are necessary to sustain existing (but not to provide new sources of) cash flows.
Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”) is commonly used as a supplemental financial measure by management and external users of our financial statements, such as investors, commercial banks, research analysts and rating agencies. Since Adjusted EBITDA excludes some, but not all, items that affect net income or loss and because these measures may vary among other companies, the Adjusted EBITDA data presented in this press release may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. The GAAP measure most directly comparable to Adjusted EBITDA is net cash flows provided by operating activities.
We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income or loss plus net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization plus other specific items, the most significant of which are the addition of cash received from direct financing leases not included in income, non-cash equity-based compensation expense, expenses related to acquiring assets that provide new sources of cash flow and the effects of available cash generated by equity method investees not included in income. We also exclude the effect on net income or loss of unrealized gains or losses on derivative transactions.
