HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Today Western Midstream Partners, LP (NYSE: WES) (“WES” or the “Partnership”) announced second-quarter 2022 financial and operating results. Net income (loss) attributable to limited partners for the second quarter of 2022 totaled $299.6 million, or $0.74 per common unit (diluted), with second-quarter 2022 Adjusted EBITDA(1) totaling $548.3 million, second-quarter 2022 Cash flows provided by operating activities totaling $467.0 million, and second-quarter 2022 Free cash flow(1) totaling $372.1 million.
RECENT HIGHLIGHTS
- Processed record Delaware Basin natural-gas throughput of 1.5 Bcf/d for the second quarter, representing a 13-percent sequential-quarter increase.
- Gathered record Delaware Basin produced-water throughput of 864 MBbls/d for the second quarter, representing a 15-percent sequential-quarter increase.
- Repurchased 17,115,367 common units for aggregate consideration of $425.4 million year-to-date through July 29, 2022, which includes 10,000,000 common units purchased from Occidental on July 21, 2022, as part of the previously announced buyback program of up to $1.0 billion of the Partnership’s common units through December 31, 2024. Total common units repurchased since September 2020 now represents 13.2% of total unaffected units outstanding.
- Retired $502.2 million of Senior notes due 2022 on April 1, 2022, and repurchased an additional $1.4 million of senior notes through open-market transactions by quarter end. Total senior notes repurchased since January 2020 now exceeds $1.65 billion.
On August 12, 2022, WES will pay its second-quarter 2022 per-unit distribution of $0.50, which is in line with the prior quarter’s distribution and is consistent with the Partnership’s previously announced annualized regular quarterly distribution (“Base Distribution”) target of $2.00 per unit. Second-quarter 2022 Free cash flow after distributions totaled $165.9 million. Second-quarter 2022 and year-to-date capital expenditures(3) totaled $124.1 million and $210.7 million, respectively.
Second-quarter 2022 total natural-gas throughput(5) averaged 4.3 Bcf/d, representing a 5-percent sequential-quarter increase. Second-quarter 2022 total throughput for crude-oil and NGLs assets(5) averaged 666 MBbls/d, representing a 1-percent sequential-quarter decrease. Second-quarter 2022 total throughput for produced-water assets(5) averaged 864 MBbls/d, representing a 15-percent sequential-quarter increase.
“WES continued its track record of strong operational and financial performance by achieving record-breaking Adjusted EBITDA for the second straight quarter and generating substantial Free cash flow,” said Michael Ure, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Our second-quarter success was primarily driven by increased throughput across all three products in the Delaware Basin and higher distributions from our equity investments, partially offset by higher operation and maintenance expense. With our substantial asset footprint in the Delaware Basin and strong producer activity levels, we expect continued throughput growth through the remainder of 2022 and into 2023.”
Mr. Ure continued, “Over the last two years, we have focused on efficiently allocating capital and improving the health of our balance sheet. By increasing our financial flexibility, we have been well positioned to capitalize on recent market dynamics and opportunistically return a significant amount of capital to our unitholders. As of July 29th, we have now completed approximately 43-percent of our $1.0 billion unit buyback program that continues through year-end 2024. Inclusive of these additional unit repurchases post quarter end, our Debt-to-Trailing Twelve Month Adjusted EBITDA ratio remains below our year-end net leverage threshold of 3.4x, which puts us in a strong position to assess other opportunities to return additional capital to our unitholders.”

This news release contains forward-looking statements. WES’s management believes that its expectations are based on reasonable assumptions. No assurance, however, can be given that such expectations will prove correct. A number of factors could cause actual results to differ materially from the projections, anticipated results, or other expectations expressed in this news release. These factors include our ability to meet financial guidance or distribution expectations; the ultimate impact of efforts to fight COVID-19 on the global economy and any related impact on commodity demand and prices; our ability to safely and efficiently operate WES’s assets; the supply of, demand for, and price of oil, natural gas, NGLs, and related products or services; our ability to meet projected in-service dates for capital-growth projects; construction costs or capital expenditures exceeding estimated or budgeted costs or expenditures; and the other factors described in the “Risk Factors” section of WES’s most-recent Form 10-K and Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and other public filings and press releases.

(1) |
Please see the definitions of the Partnership’s non-GAAP measures at the end of this release and reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP measures. |
(2) |
A reconciliation of the Adjusted EBITDA range to net cash provided by operating activities and net income (loss), and a reconciliation of the Free cash flow range to net cash provided by operating activities, is not provided because the items necessary to estimate such amounts are not reasonably estimable at this time. These items, net of tax, may include, but are not limited to, impairments of assets and other charges, divestiture costs, acquisition costs, or changes in accounting principles. All of these items could significantly impact such financial measures. At this time, WES is not able to estimate the aggregate impact, if any, of these items on future period reported earnings. Accordingly, WES is not able to provide a corresponding GAAP equivalent for the Adjusted EBITDA or Free cash flow ranges. |

Western Midstream Partners, LP
RECONCILIATION OF GAAP TO NON-GAAP MEASURES
WES defines Adjusted gross margin attributable to Western Midstream Partners, LP (“Adjusted gross margin”) as total revenues and other (less reimbursements for electricity-related expenses recorded as revenue), less cost of product, plus distributions from equity investments, and excluding the noncontrolling interest owners’ proportionate share of revenues and cost of product.
WES defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss), plus (i) distributions from equity investments, (ii) non-cash equity-based compensation expense, (iii) interest expense, (iv) income tax expense, (v) depreciation and amortization, (vi) impairments, and (vii) other expense (including lower of cost or market inventory adjustments recorded in cost of product), less (i) gain (loss) on divestiture and other, net, (ii) gain (loss) on early extinguishment of debt, (iii) income from equity investments, (iv) interest income, (v) income tax benefit, (vi) other income, and (vii) the noncontrolling interest owners’ proportionate share of revenues and expenses.
WES defines Free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities less total capital expenditures and contributions to equity investments, plus distributions from equity investments in excess of cumulative earnings. Management considers Free cash flow an appropriate metric for assessing capital discipline, cost efficiency, and balance-sheet strength. Although Free cash flow is the metric used to assess WES’s ability to make distributions to unitholders, this measure should not be viewed as indicative of the actual amount of cash that is available for distributions or planned for distributions for a given period. Instead, Free cash flow should be considered indicative of the amount of cash that is available for distributions, debt repayments, and other general partnership purposes.
Below are reconciliations of (i) gross margin (GAAP) to Adjusted gross margin (non-GAAP), (ii) net income (loss) (GAAP) and net cash provided by operating activities (GAAP) to Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP), and (iii) net cash provided by operating activities (GAAP) to Free cash flow (non-GAAP), as required under Regulation G of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Management believes that Adjusted gross margin, Adjusted EBITDA, and Free cash flow are widely accepted financial indicators of WES’s financial performance compared to other publicly traded partnerships and are useful in assessing WES’s ability to incur and service debt, fund capital expenditures, and make distributions. Adjusted gross margin, Adjusted EBITDA, and Free cash flow as defined by WES, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Therefore, WES’s Adjusted gross margin, Adjusted EBITDA, and Free cash flow should be considered in conjunction with net income (loss) attributable to Western Midstream Partners, LP and other applicable performance measures, such as gross margin or cash flows provided by operating activities.
