Martin Midstream Partners Reports 2016 Third Quarter Financial Results


  • Announced divestiture of Corpus Christi, Texas terminalling assets
  • Distribution declared creates coverage ratio of 1.1 times for the November 2016 distribution
  • Clear path to balance sheet improvement

KILGORE, Texas, Oct. 26, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Martin Midstream Partners L.P. (Nasdaq:MMLP) (the "Partnership") announced today its financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2016.

Ruben Martin, President and Chief Executive Officer of Martin Midstream GP LLC, the general partner of the Partnership said, “As we announced last week, we have outlined a path forward to improve our leverage profile and distribution coverage ratio. We believe the divestiture of our Corpus Christi terminalling assets is a solid first step to lowering our cost of capital and returning to a growth trajectory.  We expect the sale to close by year-end and receive net proceeds of approximately $93 million.

"For the third quarter ended September 30, 2016, our seasonally weaker quarter due to our fertilizer and butane businesses, the distribution coverage ratio was 1.10 times based on the quarterly distribution of $0.50 announced last week.  Highlighting the third quarter was continued strength in our Cardinal Gas Storage division where interruptible services were again strong and are expected to continue during the fourth quarter. Also, we saw a modestly improved performance in our inland marine transportation segment. Although this is not yet a recovery, utilization of our fleet improved during the third quarter.  As anticipated, our maintenance capital expenditures normalized and were lower in the third quarter compared to the levels achieved in the first six months of 2016.

"Looking toward the fourth quarter, we anticipate strong performance in our butane business based on current storage levels and contracted sales back to refineries.  On that basis, we should realize significant working capital debt reduction due to butane inventory depletion, further strengthening the Partnership’s leverage ratio.  Additionally, for 2017 and 2018, we expect a stronger distribution coverage ratio of at least 1.2 times."

The Partnership had a net loss for the third quarter of 2016 of $0.9 million, a loss of $0.03 per limited partner unit.  Net income for the third quarter of 2015 was $3.3 million, which led to a loss of $0.02 per limited partner unit.  The Partnership's adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations for the third quarter of 2016 was $33.3 million compared to adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations for the third quarter of 2015 of $41.4 million, a decrease of 20%.

Net income from continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was $13.8 million, or $0.16 per limited partner unit.  Net income from continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was $30.3 million, or $0.52 per limited partner unit.  Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was negatively impacted by a non-cash goodwill impairment charge in the Partnership's Marine Transportation segment of $4.1 million, or $0.12 per limited partner unit. The Partnership's adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was $124.2 million compared to adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 of $136.8 million, a decrease of 9%.

The Partnership's distributable cash flow from continuing operations for the third quarter of 2016 was $19.9 million compared to distributable cash flow from continuing operations for the third quarter of 2015 of $29.1 million, a decrease of 32%.

The Partnership's distributable cash flow from continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was $77.9 million compared to distributable cash flow from continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 of $98.1 million, a decrease of 21%.

Revenues for the third quarter of 2016 were $174.5 million compared to $226.0 million for the third quarter of 2015.  Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 were $590.5 million compared to $782.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015.
           
On February 12, 2015, the Partnership exited the natural gas liquids floating storage and trans-loading businesses as a result of the sale of its six liquefied petroleum gas pressure barges, collectively referred to as the "Floating Storage Assets", for $41.3 million.  The Partnership recorded a gain on the disposition of $1.5 million.

The Partnership had no net income, distributable cash flow or adjusted EBITDA from discontinued operations related to the Floating Storage Assets for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016.

The Partnership had no net income, distributable cash flow or adjusted EBITDA from discontinued operations related to the Floating Storage Assets for the three months ended September 30, 2015.  The Partnership had net income from discontinued operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 of $1.2 million, or $0.02 per limited partner unit.  Distributable cash flow and adjusted EBITDA from discontinued operations were $1.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015.

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 directly 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, 2016 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 26, 2016.

About Martin Midstream Partners

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.

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.
