MANAGEMENT PERSPECTIVE
“Our third quarter financial and operational results clearly demonstrate
the critical role Enable’s assets play in connecting growing supply to
premium markets,” said Enable Midstream President and CEO Rod Sailor.
“We continue to expand our footprint and market-leading position in some
of the most active basins in the country and are excited about our
recently completed projects, new transportation opportunities and
expansion of our crude business. As we look toward 2019, we remain
focused on building long-term value for our unitholders by leveraging
our integrated systems and providing our customers with creative and
timely market solutions.”
BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS
Enable recently announced two major expansions of the company's crude
oil midstream business. On Nov. 1, 2018, Enable closed on the
acquisition of Velocity Holdings, LLC, an integrated crude oil and
condensate gathering and transportation company in the SCOOP and Merge
plays, for $442 million. The Velocity acquisition builds on Enable’s
market-leading natural gas gathering and processing infrastructure
position in the prolific SCOOP and Merge plays that have attracted
substantial producer activity with some of the best well economics in
the country. In the Williston Basin, Enable has entered into new
contractual commitments with ExxonMobil subsidiary XTO Energy Inc. for a
substantial expansion of Enable’s crude and water gathering systems
supported by over 90,000 gross acres of dedication. Subject to future
drilling plans, Enable will add up to 72,000 barrels per day (bpd) of
crude oil gathering design capacity, increasing total Williston Basin
crude gathering capacity to up to approximately 130,000 bpd.
During third quarter 2018, per-day natural gas gathered volumes grew for
the 11th consecutive quarter as a result of strong rig activity across
Enable's footprint. During third quarter 2018, Enable also achieved the
highest per-day crude oil gathered volumes since the partnership's
formation in May 2013. As of Nov. 1, 2018, there were 47 rigs across
Enable's footprint that were drilling wells expected to be connected to
Enable's gathering systems. Thirty-eight of those rigs were in the
Anadarko Basin, six were in the Ark-La-Tex Basin, and three were in the
Williston Basin.
Enable announced on Sept. 24, 2018, the development of the Gulf Run
Pipeline project, an interstate pipeline designed to connect abundant
U.S. natural gas supplies to growing liquefied natural gas export
markets on the Gulf Coast. The project, backed by a precedent agreement
with a cornerstone shipper for 1.1 billion cubic feet per day, received
significant interest from additional prospective shippers during a
non-binding open season that closed Oct. 26, 2018. Negotiations to
secure binding commitments are currently underway. Subject to a final
investment decision by the cornerstone shipper for the liquefied natural
gas export facility to be served by this project and approval of the
project by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, up to an estimated
165 miles of large-diameter pipeline will be constructed from northern
Louisiana to Gulf Coast markets. The project is expected to be placed
into service in 2022.
The CaSE project, a 205,000 dekatherms per day (Dth/d) natural gas
transportation solution for growing Anadarko Basin production, was
placed into full service Oct. 1, 2018. The Muskogee project, underpinned
by a 20-year, 228,000 Dth/d firm transportation service agreement with
Oklahoma Gas & Electric Company on the Enable Oklahoma Intrastate
Transmission, LLC (EOIT) system, is expected to commence service by the
end of 2018.
Enable Mississippi River Transmission, LLC (MRT) made compliance filings
in its rate case Aug. 30, 2018, to reflect, among other things, the
elimination of an income tax allowance. When coupled with a
corresponding elimination of accumulated deferred income taxes, MRT's
previously filed cost-of-service increased by approximately $3 million.
MRT continues to advance its rate case and participated in technical and
settlement conferences with shippers in September.
On Oct. 11, 2018, Enable Gas Transmission, LLC (EGT) filed form 501-G, a
one-time report required by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission in
response to the reduction in the income tax rate and the Commission’s
Revised Policy Statement on Master Limited Partnerships. EGT’s Form
501-G showed the removal of income tax allowance and corresponding ADIT,
using year-end 2017 data and assumptions required by the Form. A filed
addendum, which uses more current data and includes adjustments to the
assumptions used in the Form, e.g., EGT's actual capital structure,
showed a lower ROE. In light of the results shown in the filings, EGT
does not believe that a review of its rates is warranted at this time.
QUARTERLY DISTRIBUTIONS
On Nov. 6, 2018, the board of directors of Enable’s general partner
declared a quarterly cash distribution of $0.318 per unit on all
outstanding common units for the quarter ended Sept. 30, 2018. The
distribution is unchanged from the previous quarter. The quarterly cash
distribution of $0.318 per unit on all outstanding common units will be
paid on Nov. 29, 2018, to unitholders of record at the close of business
on Nov. 16, 2018.
The board also declared a quarterly cash distribution of $0.625 on all
Series A Preferred Units for the quarter ended Sept. 30, 2018. The
quarterly cash distribution of $0.625 on all Series A Preferred Units
outstanding will be paid on Nov. 14, 2018, to unitholders of record at
the close of business on Nov. 6, 2018.
KEY OPERATING STATISTICS
Natural gas gathered volumes were 4.61 trillion British thermal units
per day (TBtu/d) for third quarter 2018, an increase of 31 percent
compared to 3.52 TBtu/d for third quarter 2017. The increase was
primarily due to higher gathered volumes in the Anadarko and Ark-La-Tex
Basins.
Natural gas processed volumes were 2.50 TBtu/d for third quarter 2018,
an increase of 32 percent compared to 1.90 TBtu/d for third quarter
2017. The increase was primarily due to higher processed volumes in the
Anadarko and Ark-La-Tex Basins.
NGLs produced were 142.65 MBbl/d for third quarter 2018, an increase of
69 percent compared to 84.48 MBbl/d for third quarter 2017. The increase
was primarily due to higher natural gas processed volumes and increased
recoveries of ethane.
Crude oil gathered volumes were 31.87 MBbl/d for third quarter 2018, an
increase of 10 percent compared to 28.87 MBbl/d for third quarter 2017.
The increase was primarily due to the expansion of the Bear Den system
and the commissioning of multi-well pads on the Bear Den and Nesson
systems.
Interstate transportation firm contracted capacity was 5.76 Bcf/d for
third quarter 2018, an increase of 2 percent compared to 5.62 Bcf/d for
third quarter 2017. The increase was primarily due to new volumes from
EGT's CaSE project.
Intrastate transportation average deliveries were 1.84 TBtu/d for third
quarter 2018, a decrease of 3 percent compared to 1.90 TBtu/d for third
quarter 2017. The decrease was primarily related to volumes flowing on
EGT's CaSE project in 2018 instead of on the Enable Oklahoma Intrastate
Transmission, LLC system.
THIRD QUARTER FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
Revenues were $928 million for third quarter 2018, an increase of $223
million compared to $705 million for third quarter 2017. Revenues are
net of $131 million of intercompany eliminations for third quarter 2018
and $114 million of intercompany eliminations for third quarter 2017.
-
Gathering and processing segment revenues were $778 million for third
quarter 2018, an increase of $236 million compared to $542 million for
third quarter 2017. The increase in gathering and processing segment
revenues was primarily due to an increase in revenues from NGL sales
resulting from higher average NGL prices, higher processed volumes and
increased recoveries of ethane in the Anadarko and Ark-La-Tex Basins,
an increase in processing service revenues resulting from higher
processed volumes primarily under fixed processing arrangements, an
increase in natural gas gathering revenues due to higher fees and
gathered volumes in the Anadarko and Ark-La-Tex Basins, and an
increase in crude oil and water gathering revenues due to an increase
in gathered volumes. These increases were partially offset by a
decrease in natural gas sales primarily driven by a decrease due to
the implementation of ASC 606 and a decrease in revenues from changes
in the fair value of natural gas, condensate and NGL derivatives.
-
Transportation and storage segment revenues were $281 million for
third quarter 2018, an increase of $4 million compared to $277 million
for third quarter 2017. The increase in transportation and storage
segment revenues was primarily due to an increase in revenues from
natural gas sales primarily due to higher sales volumes and an
increase in volume-dependent transportation revenues driven by an
increase in commodity fees from new contracts and an increase in
off-system transportation due to increases in volumes at higher rates.
These increases were partially offset by a decrease in the fair value
of natural gas derivatives.
Gross margin was $412 million for third quarter 2018, an increase of $56
million compared to $356 million for third quarter 2017. Gross margin is
net of $2 million intercompany eliminations for the third quarter 2018
and $1 million for the third quarter 2017.
-
Gathering and processing segment gross margin was $285 million for
third quarter 2018, an increase of $51 million compared to $234
million for third quarter 2017. The increase in gathering and
processing segment gross margin was primarily due to an increase in
processing service fees due to higher processed volumes in the
Anadarko and Ark-La-Tex Basins, an increase in natural gas gathering
fees due to higher fees and gathered volumes in the Anadarko and
Ark-La-Tex Basins, and an increase in crude oil and water gathering
fees as a result of an increase in gathered volumes. These increases
were partially offset by a decrease in gross margin from changes in
the fair value of natural gas, condensate and NGL derivatives, a
decrease in revenues from natural gas sales less the cost of natural
gas primarily due to a change in the imbalance volumes owed to
customers, and a decrease in revenues from NGL sales less the cost of
NGLs primarily driven by a decrease due to the implementation of ASC
606.
-
Transportation and storage segment gross margin was $129 million for
third quarter 2018, an increase of $6 million compared to $123 million
for third quarter 2017. The increase in transportation and storage
segment gross margin was primarily due to an increase in system
management activities, an increase in gross margin from
volume-dependent transportation primarily due to an increase in
commodity fees from new contracts and an increase in off-system
transportation due to increases in volumes at higher rates, and an
increase in other firm transportation and storage services due to new
intrastate transportation contracts. These increases were partially
offset by a decrease in the fair value of natural gas derivatives.
Operation and maintenance and general and administrative expenses were
$126 million for third quarter 2018, an increase of $12 million compared
to $114 million for third quarter 2017. Operation and maintenance and
general and administrative expenses are net of zero intercompany
eliminations in the third quarter 2018 and net of $1 million of
intercompany eliminations in the third quarter 2017. The increase in
operation and maintenance and general and administrative expenses was
primarily due to an increase in expenses related to maintenance on
treating plants as a result of increased Ark-La-Tex activity, an
increase in compressor rental expenses due to increased rental units, an
increase in materials and supplies and contract services costs as a
result of additional assets in service and an increase in
payroll-related costs. These increases were partially offset by an
increase in capitalized overhead costs.
Depreciation and amortization expense was $100 million for third quarter
2018, an increase of $10 million compared to $90 million for third
quarter 2017. The increase in depreciation and amortization expense was
due to the Align Midstream, LLC acquisition in the fourth quarter of
2017 and additional assets placed in service.
Taxes other than income tax were $15 million for third quarter 2018 and
2017.
Interest expense was $40 million for third quarter 2018, an increase of
$9 million compared to $31 million for third quarter 2017. The increase
was primarily due to an increase in the amount of debt outstanding and
higher interest rates on outstanding debt as a result of a long-term
debt issuance in May 2018, the proceeds of which were used for the
repayment of amounts outstanding under a 2015 term loan agreement and
Enable's commercial paper program.
Enable’s net income attributable to limited partners and net income
attributable to common units for third quarter 2018 includes a $24
million loss on derivative activity, compared to a $7 million loss on
derivative activity for third quarter 2017, resulting in a decrease in
net income of $17 million. The decrease of $17 million is comprised of a
decrease related to the change in fair value of derivatives of $10
million and an increase in realized loss on derivatives of $7 million.
Additional details on derivative instruments and hedging activities can
be found in Enable’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended
Sept. 30, 2018.
Capital expenditures were $176 million for third quarter 2018, compared
to $102 million for third quarter 2017. Expansion capital expenditures
were $146 million for third quarter 2018, compared to $80 million for
third quarter 2017. Maintenance capital expenditures were $30 million
for third quarter 2018 and $22 million for third quarter 2017.

ABOUT ENABLE MIDSTREAM PARTNERS
Enable owns, operates and develops strategically located natural gas and
crude oil infrastructure assets. Enable’s assets include approximately
13,500 miles of natural gas and crude oil gathering pipelines,
approximately 2.6 Bcf/d of processing capacity, approximately 7,800

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
Enable has included the non-GAAP financial measures Gross margin,
Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted interest expense, DCF and distribution
coverage ratio in this press release based on information in its
condensed consolidated financial statements.
Gross margin, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted interest expense, DCF and
distribution coverage ratio are supplemental financial measures that
management and external users of Enable’s financial statements, such as
industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies may use, to
assess:
-
Enable’s operating performance as compared to those of other publicly
traded partnerships in the midstream energy industry, without regard
to capital structure or historical cost basis;
-
The ability of Enable’s assets to generate sufficient cash flow to
make distributions to its partners;
-
Enable’s ability to incur and service debt and fund capital
expenditures; and
-
The viability of acquisitions and other capital expenditure projects
and the returns on investment of various investment opportunities.
This press release includes a reconciliation of Gross margin to total
revenues, Adjusted EBITDA and DCF to net income attributable to limited
partners, Adjusted EBITDA to net cash provided by operating activities
and Adjusted interest expense to interest expense, the most directly
comparable GAAP financial measures as applicable, for each of the
periods indicated. Distribution coverage ratio is a financial
performance measure used by management to reflect the relationship
between Enable’s financial operating performance and cash distributions.
Enable believes that the presentation of Gross margin, Adjusted EBITDA,
Adjusted interest expense, DCF and distribution coverage ratio provides
information useful to investors in assessing its financial condition and
results of operations. Gross margin, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted interest
expense, DCF and distribution coverage ratio should not be considered as
alternatives to net income, operating income, total revenue, cash flow
from operating activities or any other measure of financial performance
or liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP. Gross margin, Adjusted
EBITDA, Adjusted interest expense, DCF and distribution coverage ratio
have important limitations as analytical tools because they exclude some
but not all items that affect the most directly comparable GAAP
measures. Additionally, because Gross margin, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted
interest expense, DCF and distribution coverage ratio may be defined
differently by other companies in Enable’s industry, its definitions of
these measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of
other companies, thereby diminishing their utility.

*Enable is unable to present a quantitative reconciliation of
forward looking Adjusted EBITDA to net cash provided by operating
activities because certain information needed to make a reasonable
forward-looking estimate of changes in working capital which may
(provide) use cash during the calendar year 2019 cannot be reliably
predicted and the estimate is often dependent on future events which may
be uncertain or outside of Enable's control. This includes changes to
accounts receivable, accounts payable and other changes in non-current
assets and liabilities.
