Lower Debt Balances Result in Significant Improvement to Debt Metrics

SAN ANTONIO--()--NuStar Energy L.P. (NYSE: NS) today announced solid results for the second quarter of 2022 fueled by strong volumes in its Permian Crude System.

NuStar reported net income of $59 million for the second quarter of 2022, or $0.20 per unit, compared to net income of $63 million, or $0.25 per unit, for the second quarter of 2021.

NuStar also reported earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) of $175 million for the second quarter of 2022, compared to second quarter of 2021 EBITDA of $189 million.

“On an ‘apples-to-apples’ basis, excluding the contribution of the Eastern U.S. terminals we sold in October, and the Point Tupper terminal we sold in April, our second quarter 2022 EBITDA was comparable to the second quarter of 2021 despite customer transitions and related tank maintenance at our St. James terminal, and the timing of minimum volume commitment settlements at our Corpus Christi North Beach terminal,” said NuStar President and CEO Brad Barron.

Debt Metrics Improve Significantly

“We are pleased that our recent divestitures have enabled us to continue to move toward our stated goal of significantly improving our debt metrics and building our financial strength and flexibility,” said Barron.

“Thanks to the progress we have made in lowering our debt balance, our interest expense in the second quarter of 2022 was $3 million lower than in the second quarter of 2021, and we had over $900 million available on our $1.0 billion unsecured revolving credit facility.

“We also ended the second quarter of 2022 with a debt-to-EBITDA ratio of 3.93 times, which is substantially better than our ratio of 4.27 times at the end of the second quarter of 2021, and we expect to continue to improve that ratio through the end of the year.

“And our distribution coverage ratio to common limited partners was a strong 1.88 times for the second quarter of 2022,” said Barron.

Distributable cash flow (DCF) available to common limited partners was $83 million for the second quarter of 2022, compared to DCF of $97 million in the second quarter of 2021. Barron noted that the decline in DCF was also largely a result of NuStar’s recent divestitures, which helped NuStar strengthen its balance sheet.

Permian Crude System Hits Record-Breaking Volumes

NuStar’s Permian Crude System’s volumes grew to a record-breaking average of 522,000 barrels per day (BPD) in the second quarter of 2022, an increase of 16 percent over second quarter 2021 volumes and an increase of 2 percent over the first quarter of 2022.

“While overall U.S. oil production has faced supply chain and other challenges this year, our top-tier Permian producers have continued to successfully execute on their drilling plans,” said Barron. “The steady, strong volume growth we saw in the first half of 2022 and continue to see ramping up this quarter is a testament to our producers and the quality and strength of our acreage.”

Barron mentioned that the Permian Crude System’s monthly average in June was up to nearly 535,000 BPD, and in July, its volumes continued to grow, rising to an average of 555,000 BPD.

“Because of the growth we have seen so far this year, and what we expect for the rest of the year, we continue to expect to exit 2022 between 560,000 to 570,000 BPD, or about 10 percent above our 2021 exit, based on our producers’ drilling plans,” Barron added.

Refined Product Volumes Continue to Track at Pre-Pandemic Levels

Barron stated that while some short-term operational issues at customer refineries reduced NuStar’s second quarter of 2022 volumes compared to the second quarter of 2021, its refined product volumes this past quarter were up compared to the first quarter of 2022.

“Our volumes continue to track at pre-pandemic levels, reflecting the strength of our assets and the stability of demand in the markets we serve across the mid-Continent and throughout Texas,” said Barron. “In addition, our Northern Mexico refined products supply system continues to perform well, with volumes above our average for 2021, and second quarter 2022 throughput up 20 percent compared to the second quarter of 2021.”

West Coast Renewable Fuels Network Continues to Grow

Barron once again highlighted the growth of NuStar’s West Coast Renewable Fuels Network, which plays an integral role in facilitating the low-carbon renewable fuels that significantly reduce emissions from transportation.

“We expect our West Coast region’s contribution to continue to grow in the second half of 2022 from two more renewable fuel projects we recently brought into service, which increase our renewable diesel storage capacity and augment our ethanol transportation logistics capabilities at our Stockton, California facility.

“Those two projects should further solidify the significant role that NuStar plays in facilitating California’s transition to low-carbon renewable fuels, where we already handle 87 percent of California’s sustainable aviation fuel; 21 percent of the state’s renewable diesel volumes; 13 percent of its ethanol; and 5 percent of its biodiesel,” said Barron.

Contract with Trafigura for Services on Corpus Christi Crude System Extended to December 2024

Barron commented that throughputs on NuStar’s Corpus Christi Crude System averaged around 290,000 BPD in the second quarter of 2022, which is slightly below its minimum volume commitments for the system, but that average volumes rose to almost 340,000 BPD in July, which is comparable with first quarter 2022 average throughputs.

“We are also pleased to announce that we reached an agreement with Trafigura to extend the term of our contract for transportation, storage and export services on our Corpus Christi Crude System from mid-2023 for an additional 18 months, to December 31, 2024, with two one-year extensions.

“As you will recall, in 2019 we completed projects that made NuStar one of the early movers transporting Permian Basin WTI from Cactus II and Grey Oak through our systems in South Texas for Trafigura, for regional supply and for export from Corpus Christi. By extending this contract, we are building on an established relationship that facilitates production of the refined products on the Gulf Coast and provides export of the U.S. crude oil to supply locations around the globe,” said Barron.

Full-Year Guidance

NuStar Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer Tom Shoaf also gave full-year net income and EBITDA guidance for 2022.

“We expect to generate full-year 2022 net income in the range of $193 to $226 million and continue to expect to generate full-year 2022 adjusted EBITDA in the range of $700 to $750 million,” said Shoaf.

Shoaf added that NuStar continues to plan to spend $115 to $145 million in strategic capital in 2022.

“We still expect to allocate about $60 million to growing our Permian system and plan to spend about $10 million to expand our West Coast Renewable Fuels Network,” said Shoaf. “In addition, we continue to expect to spend between $35 and $45 million on reliability in 2022.”

Barron then provided an update on NuStar’s optimization initiative that was kicked off earlier this year with the goal of making meaningful reductions in NuStar’s expenses and capital spending to increase the company’s free cash flow in 2022 and beyond.

“In May, we told you we had identified over $50 million in reductions across 2022 and 2023,” said Barron. “And I am happy to report that total is now up to almost $60 million. We have successfully reduced our full-year 2022 capital spending and expenses by almost $20 million and our 2023 spending by over $40 million. By focusing on our spending, we are mitigating the impact of inflation and increasing our free cash flows, so that NuStar is solidly positioned for the challenges and opportunities we see in 2023 and beyond,” Barron concluded.

NuStar Energy L.P. and Subsidiaries
Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Information
(Unaudited, Thousands of Dollars, Except Ratio Data)

Note 1: NuStar Energy L.P. utilizes financial measures, such as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), distributable cash flow (DCF) and distribution coverage ratio, which are not defined in U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Management believes these financial measures provide useful information to investors and other external users of our financial information because (i) they provide additional information about the operating performance of the partnership’s assets and the cash the business is generating, (ii) investors and other external users of our financial statements benefit from having access to the same financial measures being utilized by management and our board of directors when making financial, operational, compensation and planning decisions and (iii) they highlight the impact of significant transactions. We may also adjust these measures to enhance the comparability of our performance across periods.

Our board of directors and management use EBITDA and/or DCF when assessing the following: (i) the performance of our assets, (ii) the viability of potential projects, (iii) our ability to fund distributions, (iv) our ability to fund capital expenditures and (v) our ability to service debt. In addition, our board of directors uses EBITDA, DCF and a distribution coverage ratio, which is calculated based on DCF, as some of the factors in its compensation determinations. DCF is a financial indicator used by the master limited partnership (MLP) investment community to compare partnership performance. DCF is used by the MLP investment community, in part, because the value of a partnership unit is partially based on its yield, and its yield is based on the cash distributions a partnership can pay its unitholders.

None of these financial measures are presented as an alternative to net income. They should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for a measure of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.

The following is a reconciliation of net income to EBITDA, DCF and distribution coverage ratio.

We intend to satisfy the vestings of these equity-based awards with the issuance of our common units. As such, the expenses related to these awards are considered non-cash and added back to DCF. Certain awards include distribution equivalent rights (DERs). Payments made in connection with DERs are deducted from DCF.

(b)

 

Distribution coverage ratio is calculated by dividing DCF by distributions applicable to common limited partners.
