Martin Midstream Partners Reports 2017 Third Quarter Financial Results


  • Hurricane Harvey Impact Estimated at $6.0 Million
  • Quarterly Distribution Coverage Ratio Meets Internal Forecast
  • Year to Date Distribution Coverage Ratio of 1.04x and Trailing Twelve Months Coverage Ratio of 1.27x

KILGORE, Texas, Oct. 25, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --  Martin Midstream Partners L.P. (Nasdaq:MMLP) (the "Partnership") announced today its financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2017.

Ruben Martin, President and Chief Executive Officer of Martin Midstream GP LLC, the general partner of the Partnership said, “For the third quarter ended September 30, 2017, the Partnership generated a distribution coverage ratio of 0.51 times, matching our internal forecast.  Annually, the third quarter is our weakest, coinciding with seasonal troughs in the fertilizer and butane businesses.  Although cash flow from operations was below our guidance levels, so too was maintenance capital expenditures offsetting the impact to distributable cash flow thus, meeting our estimate.

“Highlighting the third quarter was continued strength in our Cardinal Gas Storage division where interruptible services remained stronger than forecasted.  Also, within the Natural Gas Services segment early season butane sales were above our expectations.  This was offset by lower throughput revenue within our Specialty Terminals division and weaker asset utilization in our Marine Transportation segment.

“During the third quarter, maintenance capital spending was lower than anticipated at approximately $5.2 million.  Accordingly, we are reducing our full year maintenance capital expenditure guidance to approximately $20 million.  Some scheduled fourth quarter maintenance capital expenditures will likely be preceded in priority by Hurricane Harvey related repairs and maintenance.  Generally speaking, the Partnership was fortunate to have weathered the impact of storm damage from Hurricane Harvey with only modest disruption.  Of the utmost importance was the safety of our employees and their families and we were very fortunate on that front.  Pertaining to the financial impact and condition of our assets, we estimate the storm will have an approximate $6.0 million negative impact to our business.  This estimate includes total expenses to repair damaged assets affecting cash flow in the third quarter, fourth quarter and first quarter 2018 of $1.0 million, $3.5 million, and $0.4 million, respectively, in addition to the impact of business interruption of approximately $1.1 million in the third quarter 2017.  Because we incurred storm damage at multiple locations, we will not be filing an insurance claim associated with these interruptions and repair expenditures.  In essence, each location’s damage was in an amount below the deductible for that specific location.

“As expected during the third quarter, our debt level rose based on working capital increases of approximately $45 million in our Natural Gas Services segment primarily attributed to our butane inventory build.  Based on current market conditions, we anticipate a strong butane sales season during the fourth quarter 2017 and first quarter 2018.  Looking ahead, we should realize significant working capital debt reduction due to butane inventory depletion, reducing the Partnership’s leverage over the next two quarters.”

The Partnership had a net loss for the third quarter 2017 of $16.3 million, a loss of $0.42 per limited partner unit.  This loss includes the effects of estimated hurricane repair costs of $4.9 million and the expense associated with the upward revision of asset retirement obligations of $5.5 million.  The Partnership had a net loss for the third quarter 2016 of $0.9 million, a loss of $0.03 per limited partner unit.  The Partnership's adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter 2017 was $27.1 million compared to adjusted EBITDA from for the third quarter 2016 of $33.3 million.

The Partnership had a net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 of $1.7 million, a loss of $0.04 per limited partner unit.  The Partnership had net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 of $13.8 million, or $0.16 per limited partner unit.  The Partnership's adjusted EBITDA for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $106.9 million compared to adjusted EBITDA for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 of $124.2 million.

The Partnership's distributable cash flow for the third quarter 2017 was $9.9 million compared to distributable cash flow for the third quarter 2016 of $19.9 million.

The Partnership's distributable cash flow for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $59.8 million compared to distributable cash flow for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 of $77.9 million.

Revenues for the third quarter 2017 were $193.1 million compared to the third quarter 2016 of $174.5 million. Revenues for the nine months ended  September 30, 2017 were $640.4 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2016 of $590.5 million.

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, 2017 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 25, 2017.

About Martin Midstream Partners

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

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.
