TransMontaigne Partners L.P. (NYSE:TLP) (the Partnership, we, us, our)
today announced third quarter 2018 financial and operating results.
FINANCIAL RESULTS
Revenue for the third quarter of 2018 totaled $57.2 million, an increase
of $11.7 million, or approximately 26%, compared to $45.5 million for
the third quarter of 2017. Consolidated EBITDA totaled $36.1 million for
the third quarter of 2018, representing an increase of $10.7 million, or
approximately 42%, compared to $25.4 million for the third quarter of
2017. The improvement in revenue and Consolidated EBITDA compared to the
prior year was primarily attributed to the acquisition of the West Coast
terminals on December 15, 2017.
An overview of our financial performance for the third quarter of 2018
compared to the third quarter of 2017 includes:
-
Operating income for the third quarter 2018 was approximately $20.1
million compared to $13.9 million for the third quarter 2017. Changes
in the primary components of operating income are as follows:
-
Revenue increased approximately $11.7 million to $57.2 million
driven by contributions from our acquisition of the West Coast
terminals in December 2017, which added approximately $9.9 million
to revenue. In addition, we experienced increases in revenue at
our Gulf Coast, Midwest and Southeast terminals of approximately
$0.5 million, $0.8 million and $1.3 million, respectively,
partially offset by decreases in revenue at our Brownsville and
River terminals of approximately $0.7 million and $0.1 million,
respectively.
-
Direct operating costs and expenses increased approximately $2.2
million to $19.9 million driven by our West Coast acquisition,
which added approximately $3.5 million to expenses, partially
offset by a decrease in direct operating costs and expenses at our
Gulf Coast, Brownsville, River and Southeast terminals of
approximately $0.2 million, $0.9 million, $0.1 million and $0.1
million, respectively. Direct operating costs and expenses for the
Midwest terminals were consistent with the prior year quarter.
-
Depreciation and amortization expenses increased approximately
$3.4 million to $12.3 million primarily driven by an increased
asset base associated with our acquisition of the West Coast
terminals.
-
Net earnings were approximately $10.9 million for the third quarter
2018 compared to $11.0 million for the third quarter 2017. The
decrease was principally due to the increase in quarterly operating
income discussed above, offset by increases in interest expense and
amortization of deferred issuance costs of approximately $6.0 million
and $0.3 million, respectively. The increase was primarily
attributable to increased financing costs associated with financing
our acquisition of the West Coast terminals, the issuance of senior
notes in the first quarter of 2018 and increases in LIBOR based
interest rates.
-
Quarterly net earnings per limited partner unit was $0.42 per unit for
the third quarter 2018 compared to $0.47 per unit for the third
quarter 2017.
-
Consolidated EBITDA for the third quarter 2018 was approximately $36.1
million compared to $25.4 million for the third quarter 2017. The
increase in Consolidated EBITDA was due to the changes in revenue and
direct operating costs and expenses discussed above, as well as an
increase in distributions from unconsolidated affiliates of
approximately $0.8 million.
-
Distributable cash flow for the third quarter 2018 was approximately
$24.7 million compared to $21.6 million for the third quarter 2017.
The increase in distributable cash flow was due to the changes in
EBITDA and interest expense discussed above, partially offset by an
increase in capitalized maintenance expenditures of approximately $0.9
million.
-
The distribution declared per limited partner unit was $0.805 per
unit for the third quarter 2018 compared to $0.755 per unit for
the third quarter 2017, reflecting an increase of 6.6%.
-
Aggregate distributions totaled $17.2 million for the third
quarter 2018, resulting in a quarterly distribution coverage ratio
of 1.43x.
QUARTERLY DISTRIBUTION
The Partnership previously announced that it declared a quarterly cash
distribution of $0.805 per unit for the period from July 1, 2018 through
September 30, 2018. This $0.01 increase over the previous quarter
reflects the twelfth consecutive increase in the quarterly distribution
and represents annual growth of 6.6% over the prior year. The
distribution was paid on November 8, 2018 to unitholders of record on
October 31, 2018.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
Expansion of our Brownsville operations. The Frontera
joint venture has waived its right of first refusal to participate in
our previously announced Brownsville terminal expansion. Accordingly,
our Brownsville expansion project will be 100% constructed and owned by
TransMontaigne Partners. The project, which is underpinned by new
long-term agreements, includes the construction of approximately 630,000
barrels of additional liquids storage capacity and the conversion of our
Diamondback Pipeline to transport diesel and gasoline to the U.S./Mexico
border. The Diamondback Pipeline is comprised of an 8” pipeline that
previously transported propane approximately 16 miles from our
Brownsville facilities to the U.S./Mexico border, as well as a 6”
pipeline, which runs parallel to the 8” pipeline, that has been idle and
can be used to transport additional refined products. We expect the
first tanks of the additional liquids storage capacity under
construction to be completed and placed into commercial service during
the first quarter of 2019. We expect to recommission the Diamondback
Pipeline and resume operations on both the 8” pipeline and the
previously idle 6” pipeline by the end of 2019, with the remaining
additional liquids storage capacity being completed and placed into
commercial service at the same time. The anticipated aggregate cost of
the terminal expansion and pipeline recommissioning is estimated to be
approximately $55 million.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of September 30, 2018 total long-term debt was $591.0 million,
excluding $7.6 million of unamortized deferred issuance costs. Our
long-term debt amounts included $291.0 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
combined with bank approved pro forma acquisition and project credit was
$137.2 million, resulting in a debt to Consolidated EBITDA ratio, or
total leverage ratio, of 4.31x. Consolidated EBITDA is a non-GAAP
financial performance measure used in the calculation of our leverage
and interest coverage ratio requirements 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 third quarter of 2018 we reported $16.5 million in total capital
expenditures, which consisted of $2.9 million of maintenance
expenditures and $13.6 million in expansion expenditures. As of
September 30, 2018 remaining capital expenditures for approved expansion
projects are estimated to be approximately $100 million, which is
expected to be spent through the end of 2019. We expect to fund approved
expansion projects with cash flows from operations and additional
borrowings under our revolving credit facility. Approved expansion
projects are underpinned by new long-term agreements and primarily
include expansions at our Collins, Brownsville and Richmond terminals:
-
Collins, Mississippi Phase II terminal expansion includes the
construction of an additional 870,000 barrels of liquids storage
capacity and improvements to the Colonial Pipeline receipt and
delivery manifolds. Total capital expenditures for this project are
expected to be approximately $55 million, of which approximately $13.2
million has been spent though September 30, 2018. We expect the first
of the new tanks to be placed into commercial service in the fourth
quarter of 2018, with the remaining capacity and the manifold
improvements to be placed into commercial service in the second
quarter of 2019.
-
Brownsville, Texas terminal expansion and pipeline recommissioning is
discussed above under “Recent Developments”. As of September 30, 2018
we have spent approximately $5.7 million on this project.
-
Richmond, California terminal includes the construction of an
additional 125,000 barrels of liquids storage capacity. Total capital
expenditures for this project is expected to be approximately $8
million, of which, approximately $2.2 million has been spent though
September 30, 2018. We expect the first of the new tank capacity to be
placed into commercial service in the fourth quarter of 2018, with the
remaining capacity to be placed into commercial service in the first
quarter of 2019.

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):

(1) We have a terminaling services agreement with a third
party relating to our Southeast terminals that will continue in effect
through February 1, 2023, after which it shall automatically continue
unless and until the third party provides at least 24 months’ prior
notice of its intent to terminate the agreement. Effective at any time
from and after July 31, 2040, we have the right to terminate the
agreement by providing at least 24 months’ prior notice of our intent to
terminate the agreement. We do not believe the third party will
terminate the agreement prior to July 31, 2040; therefore we have
presented the firm commitments related to this terminaling services
agreement in the 5 years or more remaining category in the table above.

Reflects the calculation of Consolidated EBITDA in accordance with
the definition for such financial metric in our revolving credit
facility.
|
(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 September 30,
2018, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on
November 8, 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):
