NGL Energy Partners LP (NYSE:NGL) (“NGL,” “we,” “us,” “our,” or
the “Partnership”) today reported its third quarter Fiscal 2024
financial results. Highlights include:
- Net income for the third quarter of Fiscal 2024 of $45.8
million, compared to net income of $59.0 million for the third
quarter of Fiscal 2023 which included income of $29.5 million from
the settlement of a dispute
- Adjusted EBITDA(1) for the third quarter of Fiscal 2024 of
$151.7 million, compared to $193.3 million for the third quarter of
Fiscal 2023
- Total leverage at the end of the quarter was 4.26 times, versus
5.28 times at the end of the third quarter of Fiscal 2023
- On December 6, 2023, we announced an open season for the Grand
Mesa Pipeline. This open season ended at the close of business on
January 5, 2024, and resulted in a new shipper with a five-year
minimum volume commitment contract.
- NGL now expects total asset sales in Fiscal 2025 of $150
million plus, versus previous guidance of $100 million plus.
Highlights for the period subsequent to December 31, 2023
included:
- On January 19, 2024, we delivered notice to the holders of our
2025 and 2026 senior unsecured notes and to the holders of our 2026
senior secured notes of our intention to redeem all of the existing
notes. The 2026 senior secured notes were redeemed on February 6,
2024, and the 2025 and 2026 senior unsecured notes will be redeemed
on February 20, 2024 and April 14, 2024, respectively.
- On January 22, 2024, we announced that our Water Solutions
business is commencing expansion of its Lea County Express Pipeline
System from a capacity of 140,000 barrels of water per day to
340,000 barrels per day in 2024, with the ability to expand the
capacity to 500,000 barrels of water per day. This project is fully
underwritten by a recently executed minimum volume commitment
contract that includes an acreage dedication extension with an
investment grade oil and gas producer. We expect the pipeline
expansion to be completed during the second half of our 2025 fiscal
year.
- On February 2, 2024, we closed a debt refinancing transaction
of $2.9 billion consisting of a private offering of $2.2 billion of
senior secured notes, which includes $900.0 million of 8.125%
senior secured notes due 2029 and $1.3 billion of 8.375% senior
secured notes due 2032. We also entered into a new seven-year
$700.0 million senior secured term loan “B” credit facility. The
net proceeds from these transactions were used and will primarily
be used to fund the redemption of the 2026 senior secured notes and
the 2025 and 2026 senior unsecured notes.
- On February 6, 2024, the Board of Directors of our general
partner declared a distribution of 50% of the outstanding
arrearages earned for Class B, Class C, and Class D preferred unit
holders through December 31, 2023. The distribution will be made on
February 27, 2024 to the holders of record at the close of trading
on February 16, 2024.
“The Partnership has achieved many significant accomplishments
since our previous quarter ended September 30, 2023. First, Crude
Oil Logistics completed a successful open season on Grand Meas
Pipeline. Second, Water Solutions is expanding its Lea County
Express Pipeline system, which is fully underwritten by an executed
minimum volume commitment contract that includes an acreage
dedication extension with an investment grade oil and gas producer.
Third, we completed a $2.9 billion global refinancing extending
maturities and amending and extending the ABL Facility to 2029.
Fourth, the Board of Directors approved a 50% arrearage
distribution payment for the Class B, Class C, and Class D
preferred units as of December 31, 2023.” stated Mike Krimbill
NGL’s CEO. “All of these actions taken have positioned the
Partnership to continue to optimize the capital structure, and
increase future Adjusted EBITDA(1), which benefits all
stakeholders. We are also reaffirming our Fiscal 2024 Adjusted
EBITDA(2) guidance for Water Solutions of $500 million plus and
consolidated Adjusted EBITDA(2) of $645 million,” Krimbill
concluded.

Certain of the forward-looking financial

may be significant..

Water Solutions
Operating income for the Water Solutions segment increased $14.5
million for the quarter ended December 31, 2023, compared to the
quarter ended December 31, 2022. The Partnership processed
approximately 2.38 million barrels of produced water per day during
the quarter ended December 31, 2023, a 2.0% decrease when compared
to approximately 2.43 million barrels of water per day processed
during the quarter ended December 31, 2022. The decrease in
produced water volumes processed was primarily due to certain
producers in the Delaware Basin reusing their water in their
operations. Though the produced water volumes processed declined in
the quarter, water disposal service fee revenue increased due
primarily to increased fees from new contracts entered into during
fiscal year 2023 and higher fees charged for interruptible spot
volumes. In addition, there was also an increase in payments made
by certain producers for committed volumes not delivered.
Revenues from recovered skim oil, including the impact from
realized skim oil hedges, totaled $24.0 million for the quarter
ended December 31, 2023, a decrease of $6.3 million from the prior
year period. The decrease was due primarily to a decrease in skim
oil barrels sold as a result of lower skim oil recovered from
decreased produced water processed and lower realized crude oil
prices received from the sale of skim oil barrels.
Operating expenses in the Water Solutions segment decreased $0.8
million for the quarter ended December 31, 2023, compared to the
quarter ended December 31, 2022 due primarily to lower chemical
expense, lower generator rental expense, lower utilities expense
and lower severance taxes due to a decrease in revenue from
recovered crude oil. These decreases were partially offset by
higher repairs and maintenance expense due to the timing of
repairs, preventative maintenance and tank cleaning. Operating
expense per produced barrel processed was $0.25 for the quarter
ended December 31, 2023, unchanged when compared to the same
quarter in the prior year.
Crude Oil Logistics
Operating income for the Crude Oil Logistics segment decreased
$18.1 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2023, compared to
the quarter ended December 31, 2022. Product margin for crude oil
sales decreased due to lower crude oil prices, which lowered
contracted rates with certain producers, and lower contract
differentials negatively impacted certain other sales contracts. In
addition, volume decreased due to lower production on acreage
dedicated to us in the DJ Basin. During the quarter ended December
31, 2023, physical volumes on the Grand Mesa Pipeline averaged
approximately 70,000 barrels per day, compared to approximately
77,000 barrels per day for the quarter ended December 31, 2022. The
decrease in operating income was also impacted by the sale of our
marine assets on March 30, 2023.
Liquids Logistics
Operating income for the Liquids Logistics segment increased by
$1.9 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2023, compared to
the quarter ended December 31, 2022. Product margins (excluding the
impact of derivatives) increased for butane in the current quarter
primarily due to the higher demand for butane blending. This was
offset by lower propane margins due to lower volumes, lower margins
from refined products as the supply issues seen in certain markets
in the prior year, resulting in higher margins, were resolved and
supply and demand were more in balance and lower margins from the
sale of other products due to lower biodiesel prices and lower
natural gas liquid volumes due to the loss of certain supply
contracts. Additionally, we recorded net derivative losses of $0.5
million during the quarter ended December 31, 2023, compared to
derivative losses of $6.1 million during the quarter ended December
31, 2022.
Corporate and Other
The operating loss for Corporate and Other was lower by $0.7
million for the quarter ended December 31, 2023, compared to the
quarter ended December 31, 2022. Results for the current period
include gains from derivatives of $1.8 million as we have entered
into economic hedges to protect our liquidity positions and
leverage from a significant increase in commodity prices. All of
these hedges matured as of December 31, 2023, and there were no
open hedge positions. These gains were offset by an increase in
expenses due to lower allocations of expense to the other business
segments.
Capitalization and Liquidity
Total liquidity (cash plus available capacity on our asset-based
revolving credit facility (“ABL Facility”)) was approximately
$415.6 million as of December 31, 2023. Borrowings on the
Partnership’s ABL Facility totaled approximately $55.0 million as
of December 31, 2023. The decrease from March 31, 2023 was
primarily due to cash generated during the quarter being used to
pay down the outstanding balance under the ABL Facility rather than
to retire other indebtedness.
The Partnership is in compliance with all of its debt covenants
and has no upcoming debt maturities.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We define EBITDA as net income (loss) attributable to NGL Energy
Partners LP, plus interest expense, income tax expense (benefit),
and depreciation and amortization expense. We define Adjusted
EBITDA as EBITDA excluding net unrealized gains and losses on
derivatives, lower of cost or net realizable value adjustments,
gains and losses on disposal or impairment of assets, gains and
losses on early extinguishment of liabilities, equity-based
compensation expense, acquisition expense, revaluation of
liabilities, certain legal settlements and other. We also include
in Adjusted EBITDA certain inventory valuation adjustments related
to certain refined products businesses within our Liquids Logistics
segment as discussed below. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not
be considered as alternatives to net income, income before income
taxes, cash flows from operating activities, or any other measure
of financial performance calculated in accordance with GAAP, as
those items are used to measure operating performance, liquidity or
the ability to service debt obligations. We believe that EBITDA
provides additional information to investors for evaluating our
ability to make quarterly distributions to our unitholders and is
presented solely as a supplemental measure. We believe that
Adjusted EBITDA provides additional information to investors for
evaluating our financial performance without regard to our
financing methods, capital structure and historical cost basis.
Further, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, as we define them, may not be
comparable to EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, or similarly titled measures
used by other entities.
Other than for certain businesses within our Liquids Logistics
segment, for purposes of our Adjusted EBITDA calculation, we make a
distinction between realized and unrealized gains and losses on
derivatives. During the period when a derivative contract is open,
we record changes in the fair value of the derivative as an
unrealized gain or loss. When a derivative contract matures or is
settled, we reverse the previously recorded unrealized gain or loss
and record a realized gain or loss. We do not draw such a
distinction between realized and unrealized gains and losses on
derivatives of certain businesses within our Liquids Logistics
segment. The primary hedging strategy of these businesses is to
hedge against the risk of declines in the value of inventory over
the course of the contract cycle, and many of the hedges cover
extended periods of time. The “inventory valuation adjustment” row
in the reconciliation table reflects the difference between the
market value of the inventory of these businesses at the balance
sheet date and its cost. We include this in Adjusted EBITDA because
the unrealized gains and losses associated with derivative
contracts associated with the inventory of this segment, which are
intended primarily to hedge inventory holding risk and are included
in net income, also affect Adjusted EBITDA. In our Crude Oil
Logistics segment, we purchase certain crude oil barrels using the
West Texas Intermediate (“WTI”) calendar month average (“CMA”)
price and sell the crude oil barrels using the WTI CMA price plus
the Argus CMA Differential Roll Component (“CMA Differential Roll”)
per our contracts. To eliminate the volatility of the CMA
Differential Roll, we entered into derivative instrument positions
in January 2021 to secure a margin of approximately $0.20 per
barrel on 1.5 million barrels per month from May 2021 through
December 2023. Due to the nature of these positions, the cash flow
and earnings recognized on a GAAP basis differed from period to
period depending on the current crude oil price and future
estimated crude oil price which were valued utilizing third-party
market quoted prices. We recognized in Adjusted EBITDA the gains
and losses from the derivative instrument positions entered into in
January 2021 to properly align with the physical margin we hedged
each month through the term of this transaction. This
representation aligns with management’s evaluation of the
transaction. The derivative instrument positions we entered into
related to the CMA Differential Roll expired as of December 31,
2023, and we have not entered into any new derivative instrument
positions related to the CMA Differential Roll.
Distributable Cash Flow is defined as Adjusted EBITDA minus
maintenance capital expenditures, income tax expense, cash interest
expense, preferred unit distributions and other. Maintenance
capital expenditures represent capital expenditures necessary to
maintain the Partnership’s operating capacity. For the CMA
Differential Roll transaction, as discussed above, we have included
an adjustment to Distributable Cash Flow to reflect, in the period
for which they relate, the actual cash flows for the positions that
settled that are not being recognized in Adjusted EBITDA.
Distributable Cash Flow is a performance metric used by senior
management to compare cash flows generated by the Partnership
(excluding growth capital expenditures and prior to the
establishment of any retained cash reserves by the Board of
Directors of our general partner) to the cash distributions
expected to be paid to unitholders. Using this metric, management
can quickly compute the coverage ratio of estimated cash flows to
planned cash distributions. This financial measure also is
important to investors as an indicator of whether the Partnership
is generating cash flow at a level that can sustain, or support an
increase in, quarterly distribution rates. Actual distribution
amounts are set by the Board of Directors of our general
partner.
We do not provide a reconciliation for non-GAAP estimates on a
forward-looking basis where we are unable to provide a meaningful
calculation or estimation of reconciling items and the information
is not available without unreasonable effort. This is due to the
inherent difficulty of forecasting the timing or amount of various
items that would impact the most directly comparable
forward-looking U.S. GAAP financial measure that have not yet
occurred, are out of the Partnership’s control and/or cannot be
reasonably predicted. Forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures
provided without the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial
measures may vary materially from the corresponding U.S. GAAP
financial measures.
Forward-Looking Statements
This press release includes “forward-looking statements.” All
statements other than statements of historical facts included or
incorporated herein may constitute forward-looking statements.
Actual results could vary significantly from those expressed or
implied in such statements and are subject to a number of risks and
uncertainties. While NGL believes such forward-looking statements
are reasonable, NGL cannot assure they will prove to be correct.
The forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that
affect operations, financial performance, and other factors as
discussed in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Other factors that could impact any forward-looking statements are
those risks described in NGL’s Annual Report on Form 10-K,
Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and other public filings. You are
urged to carefully review and consider the cautionary statements
and other disclosures made in those filings, specifically those
under the heading “Risk Factors.” NGL undertakes no obligation to
publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements except as
required by law.
NGL provides Adjusted EBITDA guidance that does not include
certain charges and costs, which in future periods are generally
expected to be similar to the kinds of charges and costs excluded
from Adjusted EBITDA in prior periods, such as income taxes,
interest and other non-operating items, depreciation and
amortization, net unrealized gains and losses on derivatives, lower
of cost or net realizable value adjustments, gains and losses on
disposal or impairment of assets, gains and losses on early
extinguishment of liabilities, equity-based compensation expense,
acquisition expense, revaluation of liabilities and items that are
unusual in nature or infrequently occurring. The exclusion of these
charges and costs in future periods will have a significant impact
on the Partnership’s Adjusted EBITDA, and the Partnership is not
able to provide a reconciliation of its Adjusted EBITDA guidance to
net income (loss) without unreasonable efforts due to the
uncertainty and variability of the nature and amount of these
future charges and costs and the Partnership believes that such
reconciliation, if possible, would imply a degree of precision that
would be potentially confusing or misleading to investors.
