Outperformance in G&P and MS&L Segments
2018E Adjusted EBITDA Guidance Range Tightened Upward to $400
Million to $420 Million Following Strong Year-to-Date 2018 Results and
Divestiture of West Coast NGL Assets
Crestwood Equity Partners LP (NYSE: CEQP) (“Crestwood”) reported today
its financial and operating results for the three months ended June 30,
2018.
Second Quarter 2018 Highlights1
-
Second quarter 2018 net loss of $21.5 million, compared to net income
of $0.3 million in second quarter 2017. Net loss for second quarter
2018 includes a $24 million impairment related to the sale of West
Coast NGL assets described below
-
Second quarter 2018 Adjusted EBITDA of $102.9 million, an increase of
6%, compared to $97.3 million in the second quarter 2017
-
Second quarter 2018 distributable cash flow to common unitholders of
$54.2 million; The second quarter 2018 coverage ratio was
approximately 1.3x
-
Ended second quarter 2018 with approximately $1.6 billion in total
debt and a 4.0x leverage ratio. Crestwood has substantial liquidity
available under its $1.5 billion revolver with $385 million drawn as
of June 30, 2018
-
Declared second quarter 2018 cash distribution of $0.60 per common
unit, or $2.40 per common unit on an annualized basis, to be paid on
August 14, 2018, to unitholders of record as of August 7, 2018
-
Tightened range of 2018 estimated Adjusted EBITDA guidance to $400
million to $420 million, reflecting a $5 million increase in mid-point
guidance, adjusted for the divestiture of the West Coast NGL assets
which earned approximately $7 million in the last twelve months
-
Increased 2018 estimated growth capital guidance range to $300 million
to $350 million, reflecting Crestwood’s 50% interest in the recently
approved Powder River Basin expansion projects and acquired ownership
in EPIC NGL Pipeline’s Orla-to-Benedum segment
Recent Project Announcements
-
Completed and placed in-service the 200 million cubic feet per day
(“MMcf/d”) Orla processing plant, Orla Express Pipeline and Willow
Lake and Nautilus gathering system connections completing a fully
integrated gathering and processing system which spans the core of the
Delaware Basin; as the centerpiece of Crestwood’s regional footprint,
the Orla plant is strategically located near active drilling areas and
is well-positioned to receive existing and future gas supplies from
both the Willow Lake area in the northern Delaware and the Nautilus
system in the southern Delaware
-
Acquired undivided joint ownership in the Orla-to-Benedum segment of
EPIC Y-Grade Pipeline, LP’s (“EPIC”) 16” NGL pipeline, which was
placed into service in June 2018; ownership interest provides
Crestwood control of 80,000 Bbls/d of capacity out of the Delaware
Basin to multiple connections in the Benedum, TX area with ultimate
downstream access to favorable Gulf Coast markets
-
Concurrently entered into a long-term Y-grade sales agreement with
Chevron Phillips Chemical Company (“Chevron Phillips”); the
combination of the ownership of EPIC NGL capacity and the direct sale
of NGL’s to Chevron Phillips enhances Orla plant’s downstream
marketing options, provides greater flow assurance and improves
net-backs for Orla’s gathering and processing customers
-
Announced the fully approved Powder River Basin (“PRB”) Jackalope
joint venture (Crestwood 50% and Williams 50%) expansion program for
2018 and 2019; includes expansion of Bucking Horse gas processing
plant and gathering infrastructure to increase capacity from 120
MMcf/d to 345 MMcf/d; Expansions driven by increased volumes from
accelerated drilling and improved well results by Chesapeake Energy
(“Chesapeake”) and surrounding off-set operators; in a recent
announcement, Chesapeake expects total net annual production from the
PRB to more than double in 2019 compared to 2018
Management Commentary
“Crestwood continued to build strong momentum during the second quarter,
with better-than-consensus quarterly performance, timely completed
capital projects and contracts, newly announced growth projects and
non-core asset sales, while maintaining a strong balance sheet and
self-funding model through 2018 and 2019 based on current plans, said
Robert G. Phillips, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of
Crestwood’s general partner. “Solid execution of our strategic plan
continues to position Crestwood to deliver on improved 2018 guidance,
our 3-year 15% growth forecast and provides investors with increased
visibility to the backlog of new expansion opportunities which fit our
investment parameters in the Bakken, Delaware Basin and Powder River
Basin.”
Mr. Phillips continued, “In the recent quarter, improved results from
our Gathering and Processing and Marketing, Supply and Logistics
segments drove Adjusted EBITDA to $103 million, up 6% from second
quarter 2017. Additionally, with a leverage ratio of 4.0x and a coverage
ratio of 1.3x, we continue to maintain balance sheet strength and
meaningful excess DCF during an active capital deployment period for the
partnership. Quarterly results were supported by strong market
fundamentals as crude oil and natural gas prices averaged approximately
$67.00 per barrel and $2.90 per Mcf, respectively, exceeding breakeven
economics in all of our active growth basins and resulting in higher
net-backs for our G&P customers. Our MS&L segment benefited from the
recent widening of the Mont Belvieu-Conway NGL basis differential, due
largely to increased NGL supplies coming to market and regional pipeline
disruptions, and increased output from our downstream refinery and
fractionation customers.”
“Crestwood’s long-term plan is built around our core growth positions in
the Bakken, Delaware Basin and Powder River Basin as fundamentals drive
continued producer development activity and the need for midstream
infrastructure in the areas that we operate. In the Bakken, we are
on-track to complete our Arrow system de-bottlenecking projects in 2018
and expect to experience meaningful volume growth in the fourth quarter
2018 and full-year 2019. The addition of the Bear Den Phase-2 plant in
2019 will add significantly to our integrated Bakken business model and
earnings growth. In the Delaware Basin, with our partner First Reserve,
the completion of the Orla plant and Orla Express Pipeline, connection
of our Willow Lake and Nautilus systems, acquisition of NGL capacity in
the EPIC NGL pipeline, and long-term sales agreement with Chevron
Phillips creates a similarly integrated midstream business model that
greatly enhances our ability to compete for new volumes in this active
region. In the Powder River Basin, with our partner Williams, the
Jackalope expansion is expected to maintain pace with rapidly growing
volumes from Chesapeake and third-party off-set producers. Overall,
Crestwood’s visible backlog of growth projects in all three basins will
provide the partnership a multi-year path to accretive cash flow growth
that is fully financed internally through excess cash flow and our
revolving credit facility.”
Second Quarter 2018 Segment Results and Outlook
Gathering and Processing segment EBITDA totaled $78.8 million in the
second quarter 2018, an increase of 16%, compared to $68.1 million in
the second quarter 2017. During the second quarter 2018, average natural
gas gathering volumes were 1,036 MMcf/d, or 12% above second quarter
2017, gas processing volumes were 283 MMcf/d, or 28% above second
quarter 2017, compression volumes were 482 MMcf/d, crude oil gathering
volumes were 76 thousand barrels per day (“MBbls/d”), and produced water
volumes were 44 MBbls/d, or 21% above second quarter 2017. Gathering and
Processing segment EBITDA increased during the quarter due to solid
year-over-year volume growth on the Bakken, Delaware Basin and Powder
River Basin systems and the expansion of services Crestwood is providing
its G&P customers.
Storage and Transportation segment EBITDA totaled $14.2 million in the
second quarter 2018, compared to $16.6 million in the second quarter
2017. Second quarter 2018 natural gas storage and transportation volumes
averaged 2.1 Bcf/d, compared to 2.3 Bcf/d in the second quarter 2017.
Stagecoach Gas Services, our 50/50 joint venture with Consolidated
Edison, saw increased relative storage injections during the period and
new gas services to area power generation facilities as that market for
natural gas grows. Effective July 1, 2018, Crestwood began receiving a
40% cash distribution from the Stagecoach joint venture. The final
distribution step-up to 50/50 will occur in July 2019. At the COLT Hub,
daily rail crude oil loading volumes increased 22% from the first
quarter 2018 driven by wider WTI/Brent spreads and favorable economics
for Bakken crude with refinery customers in the East and West Coast
markets. The COLT Hub averaged rail loading volumes of approximately 58
MBbls/d during the month of June 2018.
Marketing, Supply and Logistics segment EBITDA totaled $12.3 million in
the second quarter 2018, compared to $15.1 million in the second quarter
2017. Both periods exclude the non-cash change in fair value of
commodity inventory-related derivative contracts and the impairments on
the divestiture of the West Coast assets described below. Second quarter
2018 EBITDA reflects the divestiture of US Salt which contributed
approximately $6.7 million of segment EBITDA in the second quarter 2017.
Adjusted for the divestiture of US Salt, MS&L segment EBITDA increased
by approximately 46% from the second quarter 2017 due to an expanded US
NGL supply base and market dislocations caused by increased NGL supplies
from various high-growth regions and regional pipeline outages.
Combined O&M and G&A expenses, net of non-cash unit based compensation
in the second quarter 2018 were $45.0 million compared to $51.5 million
in the second quarter 2017. Crestwood reduced combined O&M and G&A
expenses by approximately $6.5 million, or 13%, primarily driven by
Crestwood’s efforts to streamline its MS&L segment operations and to
lower insurance costs through safer operations across its entire asset
base.
Second Quarter 2018 Business Update
Bakken Update
During the second quarter 2018, the Arrow system averaged crude oil
volumes of 76.2 MBbls/d, or 7% below the second quarter 2017, while
natural gas volumes of 67.8 MMcf/d and produced water volumes of 43.6
MBbls/d, increased 37% and 21%, respectively, over the second quarter
2017. The increased gas and produced water volumes were the result of
completed debottlenecking projects enabling the system to capture
previously flared, curtailed or trucked volumes. Crestwood expects
continued acceleration in producer completions and corresponding volume
growth throughout the second half of 2018 and into 2019 as more
de-bottlenecking projects are completed.
The overall Arrow expansion plan will increase the crude gathering
capacity to 120 MBbls/d, natural gas gathering capacity to 150 MMcf/d
and produced water gathering capacity to 75 MBbls/d. In the second
quarter, Crestwood commenced construction of the Bear Den Phase-2
processing plant that will increase combined processing capacity of
Arrow gas to 150 MMcf/d. The Bear Den Phase-2 plant expansion, expected
to go in service in the third quarter of 2019, will allow Crestwood to
discontinue using third party processing and begin processing 100% of
the gas volumes on the Arrow system, significantly reducing flaring on
the Fort Berthold Indian Reservation and provide greater flow assurance
to customers.
Delaware Basin Update
During the second quarter 2018, Crestwood’s Delaware Basin gathering
assets averaged natural gas volumes of 157 MMcf/d, a 184% increase over
the second quarter 2017. Gathering volumes in the Delaware Basin
increased significantly due to the in-service of the Nautilus gathering
system in June 2017 and Nautilus system volume growth in the second
quarter 2018. Currently, there are nine active rigs operating on
Crestwood’s Delaware Basin gathering systems that will result in
continued volume growth through the remainder of 2018.
As previously announced, Crestwood Permian Basin Holdings LLC
(“CPJV”), a 50/50 joint venture between Crestwood and First Reserve,
commissioned the Orla plant, a new 200 MMcf/d cryogenic gas processing
plant located in Reeves County, TX. Concurrently, CPJV brought into
service the Orla Express Pipeline, a 33 mile, 20” high pressure line
connecting the existing Willow Lake system with the Orla plant, and the
Nautilus-to-Orla Pipeline, a 28 mile, 20” high pressure line connecting
the Nautilus system to the Orla plant. The Orla plant and associated
infrastructure was placed into service on schedule, on budget, and
without any major recordable safety incidents. CPJV’s asset footprint in
the Delaware Basin includes 255 MMcf/d of processing capacity, 650
MMcf/d of natural gas gathering capacity and 390 miles of integrated
pipelines spanning the northern & southern Delaware Basin.
Recently, CPJV entered into the following transactions to secure a
competitive NGL takeaway solution that will allow continued growth in
its now fully integrated G&P footprint:
EPIC NGL Pipeline Transaction
CPJV entered into an agreement with EPIC to acquire undivided joint
ownership in the Orla-to-Benedum segment of EPIC’s 16” pipeline, which
was placed into service June 2018. The ownership interest provides CPJV
control of 80,000 Bbls/d of capacity out of the Delaware Basin to
multiple downstream connections in the Benedum, TX area with ultimate
access to Sweeny, Mont Belvieu, and Corpus Christi markets. CPJV’s
80,000 Bbls/d of capacity, which is sufficient to move NGL product from
the new 200 MMcf/d Orla plant plus two additional 250 MMcf/d processing
train expansions, is being marketed on a standalone basis as a CPJV
proprietary pipeline.
Chevron Phillips Y-Grade Sales Agreement
Simultaneously, CPJV entered into a long-term purchase and sale
agreement with Chevron Phillips in which CPJV will sell, and Chevron
Phillips will purchase, Y-grade originating from CPJV’s Orla plant in
Reeves County, TX. Under the agreement, Crestwood will deliver Y-grade
product via EPIC’s Orla-to-Benedum segment to Chevron Phillips at the EZ
Pipeline at Benedum Station, through which the product has the ability
to reach multiple outlets to Mont Belvieu and be a key feedstock
supplier to Chevron Phillips’s Sweeny Complex located along the Gulf
Coast.
Powder River Basin Update
During the second quarter 2018, the Jackalope system averaged gathering
volumes of 94 MMcf/d, an increase of 55% over the second quarter 2017.
Recent daily gathering volumes have exceeded 125 MMcf/d as Chesapeake
continues to aggressively develop the Turner formation. Currently,
Chesapeake has five rigs operating on the Jackalope system.
Recently, Williams and Crestwood announced, through the Jackalope joint
venture, a major expansion of the Jackalope gathering system and Bucking
Horse processing plant in Converse County, Wyoming. Through a series of
projects, Jackalope will increase gathering and processing capacity from
the current 120 MMcf/d to 345 MMcf/d by the end of 2019. Initially,
Jackalope will add compression to increase the capacity of the existing
Bucking Horse plant from 120 MMcf/d to 145 MMcf/d by the end of fourth
quarter 2018, and then add a second 200 MMcf/d plant on the current
Bucking Horse footprint by end of 2019. Gathering system capacity will
be added as needed to support Chesapeake’s development plans.
On July 26, 2018, Chesapeake announced the pending sale of its Utica
Shale assets for approximately $2 billion and reiterated its commitment
to its Powder River Basin assets as the oil growth engine of the
company. In that release, Chesapeake further stated that its net
production from this area is expected to reach approximately 38,000
barrels of oil equivalent per day by year-end 2018 and that its net
production from the PRB will more than double in 2019 compared to 2018.
The Powder River Basin is experiencing a resurgence of producer activity
with 19 rigs currently operating in the basin targeting primarily the
Turner, Frontier, Mowry, Sussex and Niobrara formations. Based on the
increasing productivity of recently completed Turner and Niobrara wells
and the current level of rig activity within and around the joint
venture’s dedicated acreage, volumes are expected to approach the full
capacity of the expanded Jackalope system by 2021.
Non-Core Asset Divestiture
On June 30, 2018, Crestwood entered into an agreement to sell 100% of
the equity interests of Crestwood West Coast LLC, to an undisclosed
buyer. The assets of Crestwood West Coast LLC include a small gas
gathering and processing system, fractionator, butamer and various rail
and truck terminal and storage facilities which served Crestwood’s West
Coast NGL customers. The assets earned approximately $7 million in the
previous twelve months. Additionally, at closing, Crestwood and the
buyer will execute a railcar unloading and fractionation agreement that
will provide Crestwood with continued Y-grade marketing and
fractionation options for Bakken, Powder River Basin, and West Texas
Y-grade volumes at the West Coast facility. Crestwood intends to use the
proceeds from the divestiture to reduce borrowings under its revolving
credit facility and reinvest in its 2018 and 2019 capital program. In
connection with this transaction, Crestwood recorded a $24 million
non-cash impairment loss on its long-lived assets during the second
quarter 2018. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions
and is expected to close during the third quarter 2018.
Capitalization and Liquidity Update
Crestwood invested approximately $47 million in consolidated growth
capital projects during the second quarter 2018 and approximately $105
million in the first half of 2018. For full-year 2018, Crestwood is
increasing its previously stated growth capital guidance of $250 million
to $300 million up to $300 million to $350 million to reflect its
interest in the recently approved Powder River Basin and Delaware Basin
expansion projects. As of June 30, 2018, Crestwood had approximately
$1.6 billion of debt outstanding, comprised of $1.2 billion of
fixed-rate senior notes and $385 million outstanding under its $1.5
billion revolving credit facility. Crestwood’s leverage ratio was 4.0x
as of June 30, 2018.
Based on the current outlook for the remainder of 2018, Crestwood does
not expect any equity issuance to execute its current growth capital
plan. Crestwood will continue to utilize excess retained DCF, proceeds
from the divestiture of the West Coast NGL assets, and significant
availability under its revolving credit facility to continue
self-funding its 2018 capital needs and expects to complete the year
within its previously guided total leverage ratio range of 4.0-4.5x.
Crestwood currently has 71.3 million preferred units outstanding (par
value of $9.13 per unit) which pay a fixed-rate annual cash distribution
of 9.25%, payable quarterly.

(a)
|
|
EBITDA is defined as income before income taxes, plus debt-related
costs (interest and debt expense, net and loss on
modification/extinguishment of debt) and depreciation, amortization
and accretion expense. Adjusted EBITDA considers the adjusted
earnings impact of our unconsolidated affiliates by adjusting our
equity earnings or losses from our unconsolidated affiliates to
reflect our proportionate share (based on the distribution
percentage) of their EBITDA, excluding impairments. Adjusted EBITDA
also considers the impact of certain significant items, such as
unit-based compensation charges, gains or losses on long-lived
assets, third party costs incurred related to potential and
completed acquisitions, certain environmental remediation costs, the
change in fair value of commodity inventory-related derivative
contracts, costs associated with the realignment of our Marketing,
Supply and Logistics operations and other transactions identified in
a specific reporting period. The change in fair value of commodity
inventory-related derivative contracts is considered in determining
Adjusted EBITDA given that the timing of recognizing gains and
losses on these derivative contracts differs from the recognition of
revenue for the related underlying sale of inventory to which these
derivatives relate. Changes in the fair value of other derivative
contracts is not considered in determining Adjusted EBITDA given the
relatively short-term nature of those derivative contracts. EBITDA
and Adjusted EBITDA are not measures calculated in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), as they do not
include deductions for items such as depreciation, amortization and
accretion, interest and income taxes, which are necessary to
maintain our business. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be
considered alternatives to net income, operating cash flow or any
other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with
GAAP. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA calculations may vary among
entities, so our computation may not be comparable to measures used
by other companies.
|
(b)
|
|
Cash interest expense less amortization of deferred financing costs.
|
(c)
|
|
Maintenance capital expenditures are defined as those capital
expenditures which do not increase operating capacity or revenues
from existing levels.
|
(d)
|
|
Beginning in 2018, distributable cash flow is defined as Adjusted
EBITDA, adjusted for cash interest expense, maintenance capital
expenditures, income taxes, and our proportionate share (based on
the distribution percentage) of our unconsolidated affiliates'
distributable cash flow. In 2017, distributable cash flow was
defined as Adjusted EBITDA, less cash interest expense, maintenance
capital expenditures, income taxes, and changes in deferred revenue
(primarily related to deficiency payments). Distributable cash flow
should not be considered an alternative to 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 distributable cash flow provides additional
information for evaluating our ability to declare and pay
distributions to unitholders. Distributable cash flow, as we define
it, may not be comparable to distributable cash flow or similarly
titled measures used by other companies.
