TransMontaigne Partners L.P. (NYSE:TLP) (the Partnership, we, us, our)
today announced second quarter 2018 financial and operating results.
FINANCIAL RESULTS
Revenue for the second quarter of 2018 totaled $55.3 million, an
increase of $9.9 million, or approximately 22%, compared to $45.4
million for the second quarter of 2017. Consolidated EBITDA totaled
$33.8 million for the second quarter of 2018, representing an increase
of $5.0 million, or approximately 17%, compared to $28.8 million for the
second quarter of 2017. The improvement compared to the prior year was
primarily attributed to the acquisition of the West Coast terminals on
December 15, 2017 and our Collins Phase I terminal expansion in our
Southeast terminal region coming fully on-line in June 2017.
An overview of our financial performance for the quarter ended June 30,
2018 compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2017, includes:
-
Operating income for the quarter ended June 30, 2018 was approximately
$19.0 million compared to $17.3 million for the quarter ended June 30,
2017. Changes in the primary components of operating income are as
follows:
-
Revenue increased approximately $9.9 million to $55.3 million due
to our December 15, 2017 acquisition of the West Coast terminals
adding approximately $9.4 million to revenue. In addition there
were increases in revenue at our Gulf Coast and Southeast
terminals of approximately $0.8 million and $1.3 million,
respectively, offset by decreases in revenue at our Midwest,
Brownsville and River terminals of approximately $0.1 million $1.3
million and $0.2 million, respectively.
-
Direct operating costs and expenses increased approximately $3.3
million to $19.3 million due to our acquisition of the West Coast
terminals adding approximately $3.5 million to expense. In
addition, direct operating costs and expenses at our River
terminals increased approximately $0.3 million, offset by a
decrease in direct operating costs and expenses at our Brownsville
terminals of approximately $0.5 million. Direct operating costs
and expenses for the Gulf Coast, Midwest and Southeast terminals
were consistent.
-
General and administrative expenses increased approximately $0.5
million to $4.6 million, which is primarily attributable to the
previously announced increase in the omnibus fee effective as of
May 13, 2018.
-
Depreciation and amortization expenses increased approximately
$4.4 million to $13.2 million primarily due to our acquisition of
the West Coast terminals.
-
Net earnings were $9.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2018
compared to $14.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2017. The
decrease was principally due to the increase in quarterly operating
income discussed above, more than offset by increases in interest
expense and amortization of deferred issuance costs of approximately
$5.7 million and $1.0 million, respectively. The increase in these
costs is primarily attributable to financing the acquisition of the
West Coast terminals, the issuance of senior notes in the first
quarter of 2018 and increases in LIBOR rates.
-
Quarterly net earnings per limited partner unit was $0.34 per unit for
the quarter ended June 30, 2018 compared to $0.70 per unit for the
quarter ended June 30, 2017.
-
Consolidated EBITDA for the quarter ended June 30, 2018 was $33.8
million compared to $28.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2017.
-
Distributable cash flow for the quarter ended June 30, 2018 was $21.2
million compared to $24.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2017.
-
The distribution declared per limited partner unit was $0.795 per
unit for the quarter ended June 30, 2018 compared to $0.74 per
unit for the quarter ended June 30, 2017.
-
We paid aggregate distributions of $16.9 million for the quarter
ended June 30, 2018, resulting in a quarterly distribution
coverage ratio of 1.25x.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
ArcLight buyout offer. On July 9, 2018 the board of
directors of TransMontaigne GP L.L.C. received a non-binding proposal
from affiliates of ArcLight Capital Partners (“ArcLight”), directed to
the conflicts committee of our general partner, pursuant to which
ArcLight would acquire through a subsidiary all common units of the
Partnership that ArcLight and its affiliates do not already own in
exchange for $38.00 per common unit. If approved, the transaction would
be effected through a merger of the Partnership with a subsidiary of
ArcLight.
The transaction, as proposed, is subject to a number of contingencies,
including ArcLight’s completion of due diligence, the approval of the
conflicts committee, the approval by holders of a majority of the
outstanding common units of the Partnership and the satisfaction of any
conditions to the consummation of a transaction set forth in any
definitive agreement concerning the transaction. There can be no
assurance that definitive documentation will be executed or that any
transaction will materialize.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of June 30, 2018 our total long-term debt was $586.3 million,
excluding $7.8 million of unamortized deferred issuance costs. Our
long-term debt amounts included $286.3 million of outstanding borrowings
on our $850 million revolving credit facility and $300 million of issued
senior notes. For the trailing twelve months, Consolidated EBITDA was
$132.9 million, resulting in a debt to Consolidated EBITDA ratio, or
total leverage ratio, of 4.41x. Consolidated EBITDA is a non-GAAP
financial performance measure used in the calculation of the leverage
ratio requirement under our revolving credit facility. See Attachment B
hereto for a reconciliation of Consolidated EBITDA to net earnings. See
also Attachment C hereto for the calculation of our total leverage ratio
and interest coverage ratio and a reconciliation of Consolidated EBITDA
to Cash flows provided by operating activities.
For the second quarter of 2018, we reported $15.5 million in total
capital expenditures, which consisted of $3.8 million of maintenance
expenditures, $7.4 million in growth spending on our Collins Phase II
expansion project and $4.3 million of various other expansion project
expenditures. As of June 30, 2018 remaining expenditures for approved
expansion projects are estimated to be approximately $100 million,
assuming our Frontera joint venture does not exercise its rights of
first refusal related to our Brownsville terminaling expansion efforts.
Approved expenditures include the construction costs associated with the
expansion of our Collins, Brownsville and West Coast terminals, as
discussed in our first quarter 2018 earnings release.
QUARTERLY DISTRIBUTION
The Partnership previously announced that it declared a distribution of
$0.795 per unit for the period from April 1, 2018 through June 30, 2018.
This $0.01 increase over the previous quarter reflects the eleventh
consecutive increase in the quarterly distribution and represents annual
growth of 7.4% over the prior year second quarter distribution. This
distribution was paid on August 8, 2018 to unitholders of record on July
31, 2018.

ATTACHMENT A SELECTED FINANCIAL INFORMATION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
Our terminaling services agreements are structured as either throughput
agreements or storage agreements. Our throughput agreements contain
provisions that require our customers to make minimum payments, which
are based on contractually established minimum volumes of throughput of
the customer’s product at our facilities over a stipulated period of
time. Due to this minimum payment arrangement, we recognize a fixed
amount of revenue from the customer over a certain period of time, even
if the customer throughputs less than the minimum volume of product
during that period. In addition, if a customer throughputs a volume of
product exceeding the minimum volume, we would recognize additional
revenue on this incremental volume. Our storage agreements require our
customers to make minimum payments based on the volume of storage
capacity available to the customer under the agreement, which results in
a fixed amount of recognized revenue.
We refer to the fixed amount of revenue recognized pursuant to our
terminaling services agreements as being “firm commitments.” Revenue
recognized in excess of firm commitments and revenue recognized based
solely on the volume of product distributed or injected are referred to
as “ancillary.” In addition “ancillary” revenue also includes fees
received from ancillary services including heating and mixing of stored
products, product transfer, railcar handling, butane blending, proceeds
from the sale of product gains, wharfage and vapor recovery.
The “firm commitments” and “ancillary” revenue included in terminaling
services fees were as follows (in thousands):

|
(2)
|
|
Consolidated EBITDA, Distributable cash flow and the distribution
coverage ratio are not computations based upon generally accepted
accounting principles. The amounts included in the computations of
our distributable cash flow and Consolidated EBITDA are derived from
amounts separately presented in our consolidated financial
statements, notes thereto and “Item 2. Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our
quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2018,
which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on
August 9, 2018. Distributable cash flow and Consolidated EBITDA
should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net
earnings or operating income, as an indication of our operating
performance, or as an alternative to cash flows from operating
activities as a measure of liquidity. Distributable cash flow and
Consolidated EBITDA are not necessarily comparable to similarly
titled measures of other companies. Distributable cash flow and
Consolidated EBITDA are presented here because they are widely
accepted financial indicators used to compare partnership
performance. Further, Consolidated EBITDA is calculated consistent
with the provisions of our credit facility and is a financial
performance measure used in the calculation of our leverage and
interest coverage ratio requirements. We believe that these measures
provide investors an enhanced perspective of the operating
performance of our assets, the cash we are generating and our
ability to make distributions to our unitholders and our general
partner.

ATTACHMENT C CREDIT FACILITY FINANCIAL COVENANTS
The primary financial covenants contained in our revolving credit
facility are (i) a total leverage ratio test (not to exceed 5.25 to
1.0), (ii) a senior secured leverage ratio test (not to exceed 3.75 to
1.0), and (iii) a minimum interest coverage ratio test (not less than
2.75 to 1.0). These financial covenants are based on a non-GAAP, defined
financial performance measure within our revolving credit facility known
as “Consolidated EBITDA.” The following provides the calculation of
“total leverage ratio”, “senior secured leverage ratio” and “interest
coverage ratio” as such terms are used in our revolving credit facility
for certain financial covenants (in thousands, except ratios):
