NGL Energy Partners LP Announces Third Quarter Fiscal 2024 Financial Results

NGL Energy Partners LP (NYSE:NGL) (“NGL,” “we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Partnership”) today reported its third quarter Fiscal 2024 financial results. Highlights include:

  • Net income for the third quarter of Fiscal 2024 of $45.8 million, compared to net income of $59.0 million for the third quarter of Fiscal 2023 which included income of $29.5 million from the settlement of a dispute
  • Adjusted EBITDA(1) for the third quarter of Fiscal 2024 of $151.7 million, compared to $193.3 million for the third quarter of Fiscal 2023
  • Total leverage at the end of the quarter was 4.26 times, versus 5.28 times at the end of the third quarter of Fiscal 2023
  • On December 6, 2023, we announced an open season for the Grand Mesa Pipeline. This open season ended at the close of business on January 5, 2024, and resulted in a new shipper with a five-year minimum volume commitment contract.
  • NGL now expects total asset sales in Fiscal 2025 of $150 million plus, versus previous guidance of $100 million plus.

Highlights for the period subsequent to December 31, 2023 included:

  • On January 19, 2024, we delivered notice to the holders of our 2025 and 2026 senior unsecured notes and to the holders of our 2026 senior secured notes of our intention to redeem all of the existing notes. The 2026 senior secured notes were redeemed on February 6, 2024, and the 2025 and 2026 senior unsecured notes will be redeemed on February 20, 2024 and April 14, 2024, respectively.
  • On January 22, 2024, we announced that our Water Solutions business is commencing expansion of its Lea County Express Pipeline System from a capacity of 140,000 barrels of water per day to 340,000 barrels per day in 2024, with the ability to expand the capacity to 500,000 barrels of water per day. This project is fully underwritten by a recently executed minimum volume commitment contract that includes an acreage dedication extension with an investment grade oil and gas producer. We expect the pipeline expansion to be completed during the second half of our 2025 fiscal year.
  • On February 2, 2024, we closed a debt refinancing transaction of $2.9 billion consisting of a private offering of $2.2 billion of senior secured notes, which includes $900.0 million of 8.125% senior secured notes due 2029 and $1.3 billion of 8.375% senior secured notes due 2032. We also entered into a new seven-year $700.0 million senior secured term loan “B” credit facility. The net proceeds from these transactions were used and will primarily be used to fund the redemption of the 2026 senior secured notes and the 2025 and 2026 senior unsecured notes.
  • On February 6, 2024, the Board of Directors of our general partner declared a distribution of 50% of the outstanding arrearages earned for Class B, Class C, and Class D preferred unit holders through December 31, 2023. The distribution will be made on February 27, 2024 to the holders of record at the close of trading on February 16, 2024.

“The Partnership has achieved many significant accomplishments since our previous quarter ended September 30, 2023. First, Crude Oil Logistics completed a successful open season on Grand Meas Pipeline. Second, Water Solutions is expanding its Lea County Express Pipeline system, which is fully underwritten by an executed minimum volume commitment contract that includes an acreage dedication extension with an investment grade oil and gas producer. Third, we completed a $2.9 billion global refinancing extending maturities and amending and extending the ABL Facility to 2029. Fourth, the Board of Directors approved a 50% arrearage distribution payment for the Class B, Class C, and Class D preferred units as of December 31, 2023.” stated Mike Krimbill NGL’s CEO. “All of these actions taken have positioned the Partnership to continue to optimize the capital structure, and increase future Adjusted EBITDA(1), which benefits all stakeholders. We are also reaffirming our Fiscal 2024 Adjusted EBITDA(2) guidance for Water Solutions of $500 million plus and consolidated Adjusted EBITDA(2) of $645 million,” Krimbill concluded.

Water Solutions

Operating income for the Water Solutions segment increased $14.5 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2023, compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2022. The Partnership processed approximately 2.38 million barrels of produced water per day during the quarter ended December 31, 2023, a 2.0% decrease when compared to approximately 2.43 million barrels of water per day processed during the quarter ended December 31, 2022. The decrease in produced water volumes processed was primarily due to certain producers in the Delaware Basin reusing their water in their operations. Though the produced water volumes processed declined in the quarter, water disposal service fee revenue increased due primarily to increased fees from new contracts entered into during fiscal year 2023 and higher fees charged for interruptible spot volumes. In addition, there was also an increase in payments made by certain producers for committed volumes not delivered.

Revenues from recovered skim oil, including the impact from realized skim oil hedges, totaled $24.0 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2023, a decrease of $6.3 million from the prior year period. The decrease was due primarily to a decrease in skim oil barrels sold as a result of lower skim oil recovered from decreased produced water processed and lower realized crude oil prices received from the sale of skim oil barrels.

Operating expenses in the Water Solutions segment decreased $0.8 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2023, compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2022 due primarily to lower chemical expense, lower generator rental expense, lower utilities expense and lower severance taxes due to a decrease in revenue from recovered crude oil. These decreases were partially offset by higher repairs and maintenance expense due to the timing of repairs, preventative maintenance and tank cleaning. Operating expense per produced barrel processed was $0.25 for the quarter ended December 31, 2023, unchanged when compared to the same quarter in the prior year.

Crude Oil Logistics

Operating income for the Crude Oil Logistics segment decreased $18.1 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2023, compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2022. Product margin for crude oil sales decreased due to lower crude oil prices, which lowered contracted rates with certain producers, and lower contract differentials negatively impacted certain other sales contracts. In addition, volume decreased due to lower production on acreage dedicated to us in the DJ Basin. During the quarter ended December 31, 2023, physical volumes on the Grand Mesa Pipeline averaged approximately 70,000 barrels per day, compared to approximately 77,000 barrels per day for the quarter ended December 31, 2022. The decrease in operating income was also impacted by the sale of our marine assets on March 30, 2023.

Liquids Logistics

Operating income for the Liquids Logistics segment increased by $1.9 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2023, compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2022. Product margins (excluding the impact of derivatives) increased for butane in the current quarter primarily due to the higher demand for butane blending. This was offset by lower propane margins due to lower volumes, lower margins from refined products as the supply issues seen in certain markets in the prior year, resulting in higher margins, were resolved and supply and demand were more in balance and lower margins from the sale of other products due to lower biodiesel prices and lower natural gas liquid volumes due to the loss of certain supply contracts. Additionally, we recorded net derivative losses of $0.5 million during the quarter ended December 31, 2023, compared to derivative losses of $6.1 million during the quarter ended December 31, 2022.

Corporate and Other

The operating loss for Corporate and Other was lower by $0.7 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2023, compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2022. Results for the current period include gains from derivatives of $1.8 million as we have entered into economic hedges to protect our liquidity positions and leverage from a significant increase in commodity prices. All of these hedges matured as of December 31, 2023, and there were no open hedge positions. These gains were offset by an increase in expenses due to lower allocations of expense to the other business segments.

Capitalization and Liquidity

Total liquidity (cash plus available capacity on our asset-based revolving credit facility (“ABL Facility”)) was approximately $415.6 million as of December 31, 2023. Borrowings on the Partnership’s ABL Facility totaled approximately $55.0 million as of December 31, 2023. The decrease from March 31, 2023 was primarily due to cash generated during the quarter being used to pay down the outstanding balance under the ABL Facility rather than to retire other indebtedness.

The Partnership is in compliance with all of its debt covenants and has no upcoming debt maturities.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We define EBITDA as net income (loss) attributable to NGL Energy Partners LP, plus interest expense, income tax expense (benefit), and depreciation and amortization expense. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA excluding net unrealized gains and losses on derivatives, lower of cost or net realizable value adjustments, gains and losses on disposal or impairment of assets, gains and losses on early extinguishment of liabilities, equity-based compensation expense, acquisition expense, revaluation of liabilities, certain legal settlements and other. We also include in Adjusted EBITDA certain inventory valuation adjustments related to certain refined products businesses within our Liquids Logistics segment as discussed below. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as alternatives to net income, income before income taxes, cash flows from operating activities, or any other measure of financial performance calculated in accordance with GAAP, as those items are used to measure operating performance, liquidity or the ability to service debt obligations. We believe that EBITDA provides additional information to investors for evaluating our ability to make quarterly distributions to our unitholders and is presented solely as a supplemental measure. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA provides additional information to investors for evaluating our financial performance without regard to our financing methods, capital structure and historical cost basis. Further, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, as we define them, may not be comparable to EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, or similarly titled measures used by other entities.

Other than for certain businesses within our Liquids Logistics segment, for purposes of our Adjusted EBITDA calculation, we make a distinction between realized and unrealized gains and losses on derivatives. During the period when a derivative contract is open, we record changes in the fair value of the derivative as an unrealized gain or loss. When a derivative contract matures or is settled, we reverse the previously recorded unrealized gain or loss and record a realized gain or loss. We do not draw such a distinction between realized and unrealized gains and losses on derivatives of certain businesses within our Liquids Logistics segment. The primary hedging strategy of these businesses is to hedge against the risk of declines in the value of inventory over the course of the contract cycle, and many of the hedges cover extended periods of time. The “inventory valuation adjustment” row in the reconciliation table reflects the difference between the market value of the inventory of these businesses at the balance sheet date and its cost. We include this in Adjusted EBITDA because the unrealized gains and losses associated with derivative contracts associated with the inventory of this segment, which are intended primarily to hedge inventory holding risk and are included in net income, also affect Adjusted EBITDA. In our Crude Oil Logistics segment, we purchase certain crude oil barrels using the West Texas Intermediate (“WTI”) calendar month average (“CMA”) price and sell the crude oil barrels using the WTI CMA price plus the Argus CMA Differential Roll Component (“CMA Differential Roll”) per our contracts. To eliminate the volatility of the CMA Differential Roll, we entered into derivative instrument positions in January 2021 to secure a margin of approximately $0.20 per barrel on 1.5 million barrels per month from May 2021 through December 2023. Due to the nature of these positions, the cash flow and earnings recognized on a GAAP basis differed from period to period depending on the current crude oil price and future estimated crude oil price which were valued utilizing third-party market quoted prices. We recognized in Adjusted EBITDA the gains and losses from the derivative instrument positions entered into in January 2021 to properly align with the physical margin we hedged each month through the term of this transaction. This representation aligns with management’s evaluation of the transaction. The derivative instrument positions we entered into related to the CMA Differential Roll expired as of December 31, 2023, and we have not entered into any new derivative instrument positions related to the CMA Differential Roll.

Distributable Cash Flow is defined as Adjusted EBITDA minus maintenance capital expenditures, income tax expense, cash interest expense, preferred unit distributions and other. Maintenance capital expenditures represent capital expenditures necessary to maintain the Partnership’s operating capacity. For the CMA Differential Roll transaction, as discussed above, we have included an adjustment to Distributable Cash Flow to reflect, in the period for which they relate, the actual cash flows for the positions that settled that are not being recognized in Adjusted EBITDA. Distributable Cash Flow is a performance metric used by senior management to compare cash flows generated by the Partnership (excluding growth capital expenditures and prior to the establishment of any retained cash reserves by the Board of Directors of our general partner) to the cash distributions expected to be paid to unitholders. Using this metric, management can quickly compute the coverage ratio of estimated cash flows to planned cash distributions. This financial measure also is important to investors as an indicator of whether the Partnership is generating cash flow at a level that can sustain, or support an increase in, quarterly distribution rates. Actual distribution amounts are set by the Board of Directors of our general partner.

We do not provide a reconciliation for non-GAAP estimates on a forward-looking basis where we are unable to provide a meaningful calculation or estimation of reconciling items and the information is not available without unreasonable effort. This is due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting the timing or amount of various items that would impact the most directly comparable forward-looking U.S. GAAP financial measure that have not yet occurred, are out of the Partnership’s control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted. Forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures provided without the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures may vary materially from the corresponding U.S. GAAP financial measures.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release includes “forward-looking statements.” All statements other than statements of historical facts included or incorporated herein may constitute forward-looking statements. Actual results could vary significantly from those expressed or implied in such statements and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties. While NGL believes such forward-looking statements are reasonable, NGL cannot assure they will prove to be correct. The forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that affect operations, financial performance, and other factors as discussed in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Other factors that could impact any forward-looking statements are those risks described in NGL’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and other public filings. You are urged to carefully review and consider the cautionary statements and other disclosures made in those filings, specifically those under the heading “Risk Factors.” NGL undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements except as required by law.

NGL provides Adjusted EBITDA guidance that does not include certain charges and costs, which in future periods are generally expected to be similar to the kinds of charges and costs excluded from Adjusted EBITDA in prior periods, such as income taxes, interest and other non-operating items, depreciation and amortization, net unrealized gains and losses on derivatives, lower of cost or net realizable value adjustments, gains and losses on disposal or impairment of assets, gains and losses on early extinguishment of liabilities, equity-based compensation expense, acquisition expense, revaluation of liabilities and items that are unusual in nature or infrequently occurring. The exclusion of these charges and costs in future periods will have a significant impact on the Partnership’s Adjusted EBITDA, and the Partnership is not able to provide a reconciliation of its Adjusted EBITDA guidance to net income (loss) without unreasonable efforts due to the uncertainty and variability of the nature and amount of these future charges and costs and the Partnership believes that such reconciliation, if possible, would imply a degree of precision that would be potentially confusing or misleading to investors.
