Martin Midstream Partners Reports 2018 Third Quarter Financial Results

  • Third Quarter Net Income of $39.4 Million including $48.6 Million Gain from Sale of Interest in WTLPG
  • Agreement to Acquire Martin Transport, Inc. for $135.0 Million Plus a Potential $10.0 Million Earn-Out
  • Acquisition is Expected to Strengthen Distribution Coverage Ratio
  • Management Reiterates Support for Current Distribution Level

KILGORE, Texas, Oct. 24, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Martin Midstream Partners L.P. (Nasdaq: MMLP) (the "Partnership") announced today its financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2018.

Ruben Martin, President and Chief Executive Officer of Martin Midstream GP LLC, the general partner of the Partnership said, “I am excited to announce the Partnership has reached an agreement with Martin Resource Management Corporation (“MRMC”) to acquire Martin Transport, Inc. (“MTI”) for $135.0 million plus a potential additional $10.0 million earn-out based on a performance threshold.  The price reflects an EBITDA multiple between 5.7 times and 6.0 times based on MTI's forecasted 2019 net income of $9.3 million and EBITDA of $23.6 million.  This acquisition will be funded from the Partnership’s revolving credit facility allowing it to redeploy much of the $193.7 million in net proceeds received when we sold our interest in the West Texas LPG Pipeline Limited Partnership (“WTLPG”) on July 31, 2018.  Despite redeploying capital of only 70% of the net proceeds received for the WTLPG interest, the acquisition is estimated to generate roughly $16.0 million of additional incremental EBITDA in 2019 over the average historical cash flows received from WTLPG.

“MTI transports petroleum products, liquid petroleum gas, chemicals, sulfur and other products, as well as owns twenty-three terminals located throughout the Gulf Coast and Midwest.  MRMC has owned and operated MTI or its predecessor for over 40 years and is integral to MMLP’s routine movements of sulfur and NGL’s.  Based on operational estimates and current transportation market conditions, this acquisition from our general partner will provide strategic long-term growth for the Partnership.

“In the first twelve months of operation, the acquisition is expected to contribute approximately $23.6 million and $14.7 million of EBITDA and distributable cash flow, respectively, to the Partnership. This will drive our estimated distribution coverage ratio to approximately 1.20 times by year-end 2019, which forms the basis for management's continued support of the current distribution level.  Further, due to continued rising line haul rates combined with MTI’s available truck capacity, we estimate, net income,  EBITDA and distributable cash flow attributable to MTI to grow to approximately $17.0 million, $33.2 million and $20.9 million, respectively, for the year of 2022.  In addition, this drop down will provide stability in our quarterly cash flows to offset the seasonal nature of our fertilizer and butane businesses.  We expect this transaction to close in January of 2019.

“For the twelve months ended September 30, 2018 our proforma distribution coverage ratio was 1.04 times when taking into effect the WTLPG sale.  Historically the third quarter is our weakest due to seasonal timing in the fertilizer and natural gas liquids businesses which is reflected in our guidance.  Further, for the third quarter of 2018 our distributable cash flow fell short of guidance due to compressed margins from rising fertilizer raw materials costs and the sale of WTLPG, slightly offset by lower than forecasted maintenance capital expenditures coupled with continued outperformance in our Marine Transportation segment due to improved day rates and fleet utilization.

“As expected during the third quarter, our debt level rose due to the seasonal butane inventory build in our Natural Gas Services segment.  Anticipating this annual occurrence, the Partnership amended its revolving credit facility in February of 2018 to include an inventory financing sublimit tranche related to eligible inventory volumes that are under sales or swap contracts when calculating consolidated funded debt.  Accordingly, the Partnership’s calculated leverage ratio of 4.29 times includes a $74.0 million reduction of consolidated funded debt under this provision.  Further, the applicable interest rate under our credit facility is reduced twenty-five basis points due to obtaining a leverage ratio under 4.50 times.

“Looking ahead to the fourth quarter, our butane optimization business will begin capturing cash flows from forward sales, the marine transportation division looks to continue improved performance relative to guidance, and the beginning of seasonal demand for fertilizer products should all provide cash flow strength.  Added together with anticipated lower than forecasted maintenance capital expenditures, our distribution coverage ratio will rebound, as it historically does, in the fourth quarter.  However, due to market weakness that has affected fertilizer margins throughout 2018, at this time we are lowering our estimate to approximately 0.90 times at year end 2018.”

The Partnership had a net loss from continuing operations for the third quarter 2018 of $9.7 million, a loss of $0.24 per limited partner unit.  The Partnership had a net loss from continuing operations for the third quarter 2017 of $17.0 million, a loss of $0.44 per limited partner unit.  The Partnership's adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations for the third quarter 2018 was $25.4 million compared to adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations for the third quarter 2017 of $25.5 million.

The Partnership had a net loss from continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 of $6.7 million, a loss of $0.17 per limited partner unit.  The Partnership had a net loss from continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 of $4.1 million, a loss of $0.10 per limited partner unit.  The Partnership's adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was $96.8 million compared to adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 of $102.9 million.

The Partnership's distributable cash flow from continuing operations for the third quarter 2018 was $6.9 million compared to distributable cash flow from continuing operations for the third quarter 2017 of $8.3 million.

The Partnership's distributable cash flow from continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was $41.6 million compared to distributable cash flow from continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 of $55.8 million.

Revenues for the third quarter 2018 were $219.0 million compared to the third quarter 2017 of $193.1 million.  Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 were $719.8 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2017 of $640.4 million.

On July 31, 2018, the Partnership divested of its 20 percent non-operating interest in West Texas LPG Pipeline L.P.  ("WTLPG") for net proceeds of $193.7 million after fees and expenses.  The Partnership recorded a gain on the disposition of $48.6 million.  The Partnership has presented the results of operations and cash flows relating to its investment in WTLPG as discontinued operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017.

The Partnership had net income from discontinued operations for the three months ended September 30, 2018 of $49.1 million, or $1.24 per limited partner unit.  The Partnership had net income from discontinued operations for the three months ended September 30, 2017 of $0.7 million, or $0.02 per limited partner unit.

The Partnership had net income from discontinued operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 of $51.7 million, or $1.30 per limited partner unit.  The Partnership had net income from discontinued operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 of $2.4 million, or $0.06 per limited partner unit.

Distributable cash flow and adjusted EBITDA from discontinued operations were $0.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018.  Distributable cash flow and adjusted EBITDA from discontinued operations were $1.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017.

Distributable cash flow and adjusted EBITDA from discontinued operations were $3.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.  Distributable cash flow and adjusted EBITDA from discontinued operations were $4.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

Distributable cash flow, EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures which are explained in greater detail below under the heading "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information." The Partnership has also included below a table entitled "Reconciliation of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Distributable Cash Flow" in order to show the components of these non-GAAP financial measures and their reconciliation to the most comparable GAAP measurement.

Included with this press release are the Partnership's consolidated and condensed financial statements as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and certain prior periods.  These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the information contained in the Partnership's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 24, 2018.

The Partnership's primary business segments include: (1) natural gas services, including liquids transportation and distribution services and natural gas storage; (2) terminalling, storage and packaging services for petroleum products and by-products; (3) sulfur and sulfur-based products processing, manufacturing, marketing and distribution; and (4) marine transportation services for petroleum products and by-products.

Forward-Looking Statements

Statements about the Partnership's outlook and all other statements in this release other than historical facts are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  These forward-looking statements and all references to financial estimates rely on a number of assumptions concerning future events and are subject to a number of uncertainties and other factors, many of which are outside the Partnership's control, which could cause actual results to differ materially from such statements.  While the Partnership believes that the assumptions concerning future events are reasonable, it cautions that there are inherent difficulties in anticipating or predicting certain important factors.  A discussion of these factors, including risks and uncertainties, is set forth in the Partnership's annual and quarterly reports filed from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  The Partnership disclaims any intention or obligation to revise any forward-looking statements, including financial estimates, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise except where required to do so by law.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

The Partnership's management uses a variety of financial and operational measurements other than its financial statements prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") to analyze its performance. These include: (1) net income before interest expense, income tax expense, and depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA"), (2) adjusted EBITDA and (3) distributable cash flow.  The Partnership's management views these measures as important performance measures of core profitability for its operations and the ability to generate and distribute cash flow, and as key components of its internal financial reporting. The Partnership's management believes investors benefit from having access to the same financial measures that management uses.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA.  Certain items excluded from EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are significant components in understanding and assessing an entity's financial performance, such as cost of capital and historical costs of depreciable assets. The Partnership has included information concerning EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA because it provides investors and management with additional information to better understand the following: financial performance of the Partnership's assets without regard to financing methods, capital structure or historical cost basis; the Partnership's operating performance and return on capital as compared to those of other similarly situated entities; and the viability of acquisitions and capital expenditure projects.  The Partnership's method of computing adjusted EBITDA may not be the same method used to compute similar measures reported by other entities. The economic substance behind the Partnership's use of adjusted EBITDA is to measure the ability of the Partnership's assets to generate cash sufficient to pay interest costs, support its indebtedness and make distributions to its unitholders.

Distributable Cash Flow.  Distributable cash flow is a significant performance measure used by the Partnership's management and by external users of its financial statements, such as investors, commercial banks and research analysts, to compare basic cash flows generated by the Partnership to the cash distributions it expects to pay unitholders.  Distributable cash flow is also an important financial measure for the Partnership's unitholders since it serves as an indicator of the Partnership's success in providing a cash return on investment. Specifically, this financial measure indicates to investors whether or not the Partnership is generating cash flow at a level that can sustain or support an increase in its quarterly distribution rates.  Distributable cash flow is also a quantitative standard used throughout the investment community with respect to publicly-traded partnerships because the value of a unit of such an entity is generally determined by the unit's yield, which in turn is based on the amount of cash distributions the entity pays to a unitholder.

EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow should not be considered alternatives to, or more meaningful than, net income, cash flows from operating activities, or any other measure presented in accordance with GAAP. The Partnership's method of computing these measures may not be the same method used to compute similar measures reported by other entities.
