EnLink Midstream Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2015 Results and 2016 Guidance

The EnLink Midstream companies, EnLink Midstream Partners, LP (NYSE: ENLK) (the Partnership) and EnLink Midstream, LLC (NYSE: ENLC) (the General Partner), today reported results for the fourth quarter of and full-year 2015 and 2016 Guidance.

Fourth Quarter 2015 — EnLink Midstream Partners, LP Financial Results

The Partnership realized adjusted EBITDA of $186.1 million and distributable cash flow of $148.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2015, compared with adjusted EBITDA of $122.0 million and distributable cash flow of $93.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2014.

The Partnership's net loss from continuing operations was $714.1 million and net cash provided by operating activities was $137.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2015, compared with net income from continuing operations of $91.2 million and net cash provided by operating activities of $99.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2014. The Partnership's operating loss was $690.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2015 compared with operating income of $103.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2014. The net loss in the fourth quarter of 2015 was primarily due to a non-cash expense of $764.2 million related to goodwill and asset impairments.

The Partnership’s gross operating margin was $308.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2015 compared with gross operating margin of $303.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2014. Adjusted EBITDA, distributable cash flow and gross operating margin are explained in greater detail under "Non-GAAP Financial Information," and reconciliations of these measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measures are included in the tables at the end of this news release.

“EnLink achieved solid results in 2015 despite the challenges facing the industry. We executed our strategic plan, delivered stable cash flows, and enhanced our asset positions in the best oil and gas producing basins,” said Barry E. Davis, EnLink President and Chief Executive Officer. “We know 2016 will require continued focus and execution. We plan to maximize cash flows from our assets, reduce costs, execute growth in core areas, and deliver best-in-basin services. We are committed to maintaining our financial strength and protecting our balance sheet.”

The Partnership’s operating and reporting segments are based principally upon geographic regions served and consist of the following: the Texas segment, which includes natural gas gathering, processing, transmission and fractionation operations located in north Texas and west Texas; the Louisiana segment, which includes pipelines, processing plants and NGL assets located in Louisiana; the Oklahoma segment, which includes natural gas gathering and processing operations located in Oklahoma; the Crude and Condensate segment, which includes rail, truck, pipeline, storage and barge facilities to deliver crude and condensate in the Ohio River Valley and Texas and brine disposal wells in the Ohio River Valley; and the corporate segment, which includes operating activity for intersegment eliminations and gains or losses from derivative activities.

Each business segment’s contribution to the fourth quarter 2015 gross operating margin compared with fourth quarter 2014, and the factors affecting those contributions, is described below:

  • The Texas segment had a decrease in gross operating margin of $1.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2015 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2014. This decrease was primarily attributable to declines in gross operating margin of $13.9 million resulting from volume declines in our North Texas gathering, processing, and transmission assets. These declines were partially offset by increases in gross operating margin of $12.8 million from our Permian assets, which were primarily due to the Coronado, Matador and Deadwood acquisitions.
  • The Oklahoma segment had an increase in gross operating margin of $3.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2015 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2014. Approximately $2.4 million of this increase is the result of insurance proceeds received related to business interruption coverage on the Cana Plant shut-down, which occurred during the second quarter of 2015. The remainder is primarily attributable to increased volumes in the Cana system.
  • The Louisiana segment had an increase in gross operating margin of $9.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2015 as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2014. This increase was primarily driven by an increase in fractionated volumes which contributed $10.6 million. In addition, the Gulf Coast assets acquired from Chevron contributed another $2.4 million. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in gross operating margin of $2.2 million in our Louisiana natural gas processing and transmission assets primarily due to price declines and declines in revenues from firm transportation agreements.
  • The Crude and Condensate segment had an increase in gross operating margin of $13.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2015 as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2014. This increase is primarily attributable to the acquisition of the LPC assets in the Permian Basin in January 2015, which contributed $12.7 million. In addition, there was an increase in gross operating margin related to the Victoria Express drop-down transaction in the Eagle Ford of $1.3 million. Gross operating margin from the Ohio River Valley operations increased by $2.8 million due to the commercial start-up of five compression and condensate stabilization stations completed since the fourth quarter of 2014. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of gross operating margin of $2.9 million due to the early termination of a contract in June 2015.
  • The Corporate segment had a decrease in gross operating margin of $21.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2015 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2014. The decrease was due to reduced gains attributable to derivative activities in 2015.

The Partnership’s fourth quarter 2015 operating expenses were $107.3 million, an increase of $24.0 million from the fourth quarter of 2014. General and administrative expenses for the fourth quarter of 2015 increased by $0.3 million from the fourth quarter of 2014. Depreciation and amortization expense for the fourth quarter of 2015 increased by $13.1 million from the fourth quarter of 2014. These increases were primarily due to the acquisitions of LPC, Coronado, the Victoria Express pipeline and the Gulf Coast assets acquired from Chevron. Net interest expense for the fourth quarter of 2015 increased by $14.7 million from the fourth quarter of 2014 primarily due to an increase in long-term borrowings.

Net loss per limited partner common unit for the fourth quarter of 2015 was $2.17 per common unit compared with net income of $0.21 per common unit for the fourth quarter of 2014.

Fourth Quarter 2015 — EnLink Midstream, LLC Financial Results

The General Partner reported a net loss of $723.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2015 compared with net income of $75.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2014. The net loss in the fourth quarter of 2015 was primarily due to the previously mentioned non-cash expense of $764.2 million related to goodwill and asset impairments. The General Partner’s cash available for distribution was $47.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2015 compared with cash available for distribution of $66.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2014. The year-over-year decline in cash available for distribution was primarily due to the drop-down of EnLink Midstream Holdings to the Partnership that was completed in 2015. The resulting distribution coverage ratio for the fourth quarter of 2015 was approximately 1.04x on the declared distribution of $0.255 per General Partner unit. Cash available for distribution is explained in greater detail under "Non-GAAP Financial Information," and a reconciliation of this measure to its most directly comparable GAAP measure is included in the tables at the end of this news release.

Full Year 2015 — EnLink Midstream Partners, LP Financial Results

The Partnership realized adjusted EBITDA of $678.3 million, a net loss from continuing operations of $1,378.2 million, net cash provided by operating activities of $645.6 million and distributable cash flow of $529.3 million in 2015. The net loss in 2015 was primarily due to a non-cash expense of $1,563.4 million related to goodwill and asset impairments.

The Partnership’s gross operating margin was $1,206.8 million in 2015. The Partnership's operating loss was $1,297.4 million in 2015. Each business segment’s contribution to the 2015 gross operating margin is below:

  • The Texas segment contributed $588.0 million of gross operating margin.
  • The Louisiana segment contributed $272.7 million of gross operating margin.
  • The Oklahoma segment contributed $169.1 million of gross operating margin.
  • The Crude and Condensate segment contributed $167.6 million of gross operating margin.
  • The Corporate segment contributed $9.4 million of gross operating margin.

The Partnership’s 2015 operating expenses, excluding non-cash impairments, were $419.9 million; general and administrative expenses were $132.4 million; depreciation and amortization expense was $387.3 million; and net interest expense was $102.5 million. The net loss per limited partner common unit for 2015 was $4.66.

Full Year 2015 — EnLink Midstream, LLC Financial Results

The General Partner reported a net loss of $1,409.7 million in 2015. The net loss was primarily due to a non-cash expense of $1,563.4 million related to goodwill and intangible impairments. The General Partner's cash available for distribution was $199.3 million, which resulted in a 1.17x coverage ratio on the declared distribution of $1.005 for 2015.

EnLink Midstream Provides 2016 Guidance

EnLink Midstream's 2016 Guidance expectations are shown in the table below. EnLink Midstream currently forecasts to have 2016 consolidated adjusted EBITDA of approximately $770 million, assuming West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil prices average $43.75 and Henry Hub natural gas prices average $2.50 for the year. Assuming the achievement of 2016 guidance set out in the table below, the Partnership forecasts that it will generate sufficient distributable cash flow to support 2016 annual distributions of approximately $1.56 per unit of the Partnership, which would allow for a distribution coverage ratio of approximately 1.0x. The General Partner forecasts that it could pay 2016 annual distributions of approximately $1.02 per unit of the General Partner, which would allow for a distribution coverage ratio of approximately 1.1x. The General Partner distribution forecast assumes the receipt of per unit distributions from the Partnership consistent with the guidance stated above. The payment and amount of distributions will be subject to approval by the Boards of Directors of the Partnership and General Partner and to economic conditions and other factors existing during the time of determination.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

This press release contains non-generally accepted accounting principle financial measures that we refer to as adjusted EBITDA, distributable cash flow, gross operating margin, growth capital expenditures, maintenance capital expenditures and the General Partner's cash available for distribution. We define adjusted EBITDA as net income from continuing operations plus interest expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense, impairments, unit-based compensation, (gain) loss on noncash derivatives, transaction costs, distribution of equity investment and non-controlling interest and income (loss) from unconsolidated affiliates. We define distributable cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities plus adjusted EBITDA, net to EnLink Midstream Partners, LP, less interest expense, litigation settlement adjustment, interest rate swap proceeds, cash taxes and other, maintenance capital expenditures and the adjusted EBITDA of EnLink Midstream Holdings, LP ("Midstream Holdings" and for the period ended prior to March 7, 2014, "Predecessor"). Gross operating margin is defined as revenue minus the cost of sales. Cash available for distribution is defined as distributions due to the General Partner from the Partnership and the General Partner's interest in adjusted EBITDA of Midstream Holdings (as defined herein), less maintenance capital, the General Partner's specific general and administrative costs as a separate public reporting entity, the interest costs associated with the General Partner's debt and current taxes attributable to the General Partner's earnings. Growth capital expenditures generally include capital expenditures made for acquisitions or capital improvements that we expect will increase our asset base, operating income or operating capacity over the long-term. Maintenance capital expenditures are capital expenditures made to replace partially or fully depreciated assets in order to maintain the existing operating capacity of the assets and to extend their useful lives.

The amounts included in the calculation of these measures are computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) with the exception of maintenance capital expenditures and the adjusted EBITDA of Midstream Holdings. Adjusted EBITDA of Midstream Holdings is defined as Midstream Holdings' earnings plus depreciation, provisions for income taxes and distribution of equity investment less income on equity investment.

The Partnership and General Partner believe these measures are useful to investors because they may provide users of this financial information with meaningful comparisons between current results and prior-reported results and a meaningful measure of the Partnership’s and the General Partner's cash flow after it has satisfied the capital and related requirements of its operations.

Gross operating margin, adjusted EBITDA, distributable cash flow, maintenance capital expenditures, growth capital expenditures and cash available for distribution, as defined above, are not measures of financial performance or liquidity under GAAP. They should not be considered in isolation or as an indicator of the Partnership’s and the General Partner's performance. Furthermore, they should not be seen as a substitute for metrics prepared in accordance with GAAP. Reconciliations of these measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measures are included in the following tables.

(4) During the second quarter of 2015 and fourth quarter of 2014, we entered into interest rate swap arrangements to mitigate our exposure to interest rate movements prior to our note issuances. The gains on settlements of the interest rate swaps were considered excess proceeds for the note issuance, and therefore, excluded from distributable cash flow.

Maintenance capital expenditures prior to March 7, 2014 of $4.6 million were excluded from the reconciliation to distributable cash flow because they represent the cash flows of the Predecessor which were not available for distribution. Prior to March 7, 2014 these assets were owned by Devon, and therefore, all cash flow from these assets was distributed to Devon.

(4) Net of payments under onerous performance obligation offset to other current and long-term liabilities.
(5) Represents recast E2, Midstream Holdings and VEX adjusted EBITDA prior to the date of the drop down of the respective assets or interests from ENLC and Devon as applicable.
(6) Represents Predecessor's adjusted EBITDA for the period from January 1, 2014 through March 7, 2014.
(7) During the second quarter of 2015 and fourth quarter of 2014, we entered into interest rate swap arrangements to mitigate our exposure to interest rate movements prior to our note issuances. The gains on settlements of the interest rate swaps were considered excess proceeds for the note issuance, and therefore, excluded from distributable cash flow.
(8) Maintenance capital expenditures presented in our reconciliation to distributable cash flows above include only (i) our expenditures incurred at or after March 7, 2014 and (ii) our interest of the expenditures of Midstream Holdings incurred at or after March 7, 2014. Maintenance capital expenditures prior to March 7, 2014 of $4.6 million were excluded from the reconciliation to distributable cash flow because they represent the cash flows of the Predecessor which were not available for distribution. Prior to March 7, 2014 these assets were owned by Devon, and therefore, all cash flow from these assets was distributed to Devon.
