Western Midstream Announces Second-Quarter 2019 Results

DJ-Basin11

HOUSTON, July 30, 2019 /PRNewswire/ — Western Midstream Partners, LP (NYSE: WES) (“WES” or the “Partnership”) today announced second-quarter 2019 financial and operating results. Net income (loss) available to limited partners for the second quarter of 2019 totaled $169.6 million, or $0.37 per common unit (diluted), with second-quarter 2019 Adjusted EBITDA(1) of $432.9 million and second-quarter 2019 Distributable cash flow(1) of $335.5 million. Net income (loss) and Adjusted EBITDA(1) do not include $12.0 million of cash received during the quarter associated with revenue recognition accounting standard ASC 606. Financial and operational information has been recast to include the financial position and results attributable to the assets acquired from Anadarko Petroleum Corporation in February 2019 (the “Anadarko Midstream Assets” or “AMA”) as if WES had owned them for all periods presented.

RECENT HIGHLIGHTS

  • Achieved record West Texas Complex gas throughput of 1.18 Bcf/d for second quarter
  • Achieved record DJ Basin Complex gas throughput of 1.27 Bcf/d for second quarter
  • Achieved record DJ Basin oil throughput of 112 MBbls/d for second quarter
  • Entered into accretive third-party processing contract for a portion of Latham II capacity fully backed by minimum volume commitments
  • Enhanced liquidity and financial flexibility by increasing senior unsecured term loan commitments by $1 billion and extending the facility maturity date to December 2020

WES previously declared a quarterly distribution of $0.6180 per unit for the second quarter of 2019. This distribution represented a 1.3% increase relative to the prior quarter’s distribution and a 6.1% increase relative to the second-quarter 2018 distribution. The second-quarter 2019 Coverage ratio(1) was 1.20 times.

“After another strong quarter, we continue to be pleased with the complementary assets and robust contract portfolio we have assembled in the Delaware and DJ basins,” said Chief Executive Officer, Robin Fielder. “We remain focused on safe and efficient operations as we near construction completion of our Latham plant and further expand our gathering systems in the DJ and Delaware basins.”

Please see the tables at the end of this release for a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP measures and calculation of the Coverage ratio.

Total throughput attributable to WES for natural gas assets(1) for the second quarter of 2019 averaged 4.3 Bcf/d, which was a 2% sequential increase and a 10% increase from the second quarter of 2018. Total throughput attributable to WES for crude oil, NGLs and produced water assets(1) for the second quarter of 2019 averaged 1,105 MBbls/d, which was flat sequentially and an 84% increase from the second quarter of 2018. Capital expenditures attributable to WES, including equity investments but excluding acquisitions and capitalized interest, totaled $352.7 million on a cash basis during the second quarter of 2019, with maintenance capital expenditures on a cash basis of $29.9 million.

NEW DJ BASIN GAS PROCESSING CONTRACT

Subsequent to quarter end, and in conjunction with the partial release of contracted affiliate volumes backing the Latham II gas processing plant, the Partnership entered into a seven-year commercial agreement with a third party for the remaining Latham II processing capacity. This contract maintains minimum volume commitments (“MVCs”) for 100% of the plant’s nameplate processing capacity while increasing the expected value and returns of the Latham investment.

“This accretive third-party commercial contract provides the Partnership valuable MVCs and an increase in contract term with a quality third party,” said Chief Operating Officer, Gennifer Kelly. “The completion of Latham trains I and II in the second half of 2019 will add to our premier gathering and processing position within the DJ basin.”

REVISED 2019 FULL-YEAR OUTLOOK

The Partnership is revising its 2019 outlook primarily related to the impacts of (i) lower Delaware Basin throughput forecasts due to higher customer field downtime and changing well delivery timing to our systems, (ii) lower natural gas and NGL prices, and (iii) lower estimated revenues from revised revenue recognition forecasts related to cost of service contracts.

“While recognizing the updates to our guidance, we remain confident in the long-term potential of our highly integrated asset base, including our diverse set of equity investments, and the core basins in which we operate,” said Fielder.

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 to have been 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 the ability to meet financial guidance or distribution growth expectations; the 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; the 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 in its other public filings and press releases.

RECONCILIATION OF GAAP TO NON-GAAP MEASURES

Below are reconciliations of (i) net income (loss) (GAAP) to WES’s Distributable cash flow (non-GAAP), (ii) net income (loss) (GAAP) and net cash provided by operating activities (GAAP) to Adjusted EBITDA attributable to Western Midstream Partners, LP (“Adjusted EBITDA”) (non-GAAP), and (iii) operating income (loss) (GAAP) to Adjusted gross margin attributable to Western Midstream Partners, LP (“Adjusted gross margin”) (non-GAAP), as required under Regulation G of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Management believes that WES’s Distributable cash flow, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted gross margin, and Coverage ratio are widely accepted financial indicators of WES’s financial performance compared to other publicly traded partnerships and are useful in assessing its ability to incur and service debt, fund capital expenditures and make distributions. Distributable cash flow, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted gross margin and Coverage ratio, as defined by WES, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Therefore, WES’s Distributable cash flow, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted gross margin and Coverage ratio should be considered in conjunction with net income (loss) attributable to Western Midstream Partners, LP and other applicable performance measures, such as operating income (loss) or cash flows from operating activities.

WES defines “Distributable cash flow” as Adjusted EBITDA, plus interest income and the net settlement amounts from the sale and/or purchase of natural gas, condensate and NGLs under WES Operating’s commodity price swap agreements to the extent such amounts are not recognized as Adjusted EBITDA, less Service revenues – fee based recognized in Adjusted EBITDA (less than) in excess of customer billings, net cash paid (or to be paid) for interest expense (including amortization of deferred debt issuance costs originally paid in cash, offset by non-cash capitalized interest), maintenance capital expenditures, and income taxes and excluding Distributable cash flow attributable to noncontrolling interests to the extent such amounts are not excluded from Adjusted EBITDA.

WES defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss), plus distributions from equity investments, non-cash equity-based compensation expense, interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, impairments, and other expense (including lower of cost or market inventory adjustments recorded in cost of product), less gain (loss) on divestiture and other, net, income from equity investments, interest income, income tax benefit, and other income and excluding the noncontrolling interests owners’ proportionate share of revenues and expenses.

WES defines 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 interests owners’ proportionate share of revenues and cost of product.
