Insights

Calumet's Q2 2024 results present a mixed picture. The company reported a net loss of $39.1 million, widening from $22.3 million in Q2 2023. However, Adjusted EBITDA remained relatively stable at $66.8 million, compared to $68.1 million last year.

Key positives include record production volumes in Specialties and Renewables and Montana Renewables achieving full production levels. The Specialty Products and Solutions segment saw improved Adjusted EBITDA of $65.8 million, up from $61.0 million. Performance Brands also grew, with Adjusted EBITDA increasing to $14.1 million from $12.2 million.

However, the Montana/Renewables segment's Adjusted EBITDA declined to $7.6 million from $13.0 million, despite higher volumes, indicating potential margin pressures. The company's conversion to a C-Corp structure could potentially broaden its investor base, but the immediate financial impact remains to be seen.

Calumet's Q2 results reflect the complex dynamics in the specialty products and renewable fuels markets. The record volumes in Specialties and Renewables suggest strong demand, but the widening net loss indicates challenges in profitability, possibly due to cost pressures or pricing issues.

The Performance Brands segment's 30% year-over-year volume growth is particularly noteworthy, signaling success in market penetration strategies. However, the decline in Montana/Renewables' Adjusted EBITDA despite higher volumes warrants attention, as it may indicate market saturation or increased competition in the renewable fuels space.

The company's focus on SAF (Sustainable Aviation Fuel) production and the planned MaxSAF expansion align with growing trends in sustainable transportation. However, investors should monitor the progress of DOE discussions and potential funding, as this could significantly impact future growth prospects and capital expenditure requirements.

Calumet's renewable energy segment shows promising developments, particularly in Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) production. The Montana Renewables facility achieved full production levels, producing approximately 7 million gallons of SAF in Q2. This is significant given the growing demand for SAF in the aviation industry's decarbonization efforts.

The planned MaxSAF expansion, pending DOE discussions, could position Calumet as a major player in the SAF market. However, the decrease in Montana/Renewables Adjusted EBITDA to $7.6 million from $13.0 million year-over-year raises questions about the segment's profitability in the current market conditions.

The company's target to reduce costs to $0.70 per gallon by year-end is important for improving the segment's profitability. Investors should closely monitor this cost reduction progress and its impact on margins, especially given the competitive nature of the renewable fuels market.

  • Second quarter 2024 net loss of $39.1 million, or Limited partners' interest of $0.48 basic net loss per unit
  • Second quarter 2024 Adjusted EBITDA of $66.8 million
  • Successfully completed conversion of structure from a Master Limited Partnership ("MLP") to a C-Corp
  • Montana Renewables ("MRL") achieved full production levels for the second quarter; produced approximately 7 million gallons of SAF
  • Record volumes achieved in both Specialties and Renewables businesses

"Calumet benefited from a strong operational quarter as we continue to demonstrate the strength of our specialties and renewables businesses," said Todd Borgmann, CEO.  "As planned, Montana Renewables produced at full rates throughout the quarter, achieving record levels of throughput, pretreater utilization, SAF production, and Adjusted EBITDA all while continuing to decrease costs towards our $.70 per gallon year-end target. Further, our specialties business realized record production levels while maintaining specialty margins despite a softening underlying commodity environment.  Our Performance Brands segment also continues to grow rapidly, specifically where we can leverage Calumet's commercial excellence platform and integrate within our broader Northwest Louisiana specialties network.  

"In addition, our advanced discussions with the DOE continue to progress well, and we look forward to launching our planned MaxSAF expansion.  MaxSAF is a world-class project, which is aligned with strategic national interest in one of the fastest growing segments in energy.  Finally, in July, we were pleased to complete our C-Corp conversion, and we expect this to meaningfully increase our shareholder base over time.  We remain aggressively focused on executing our strategic plans to create substantial shareholder value."

Specialty Products and Solutions (SPS): The SPS segment reported Adjusted EBITDA of $65.8 million during the second quarter of 2024 compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $61.0 million for the same quarter a year ago, primarily reflecting higher volumes offset by commodity headwinds. 

Performance Brands (PB):  The PB segment reported Adjusted EBITDA of $14.1 million during the second quarter of 2024 versus Adjusted EBITDA of $12.2 million in the second quarter of 2023, benefitting from 30 percent growth in year-over-year volumes.

Montana/Renewables (MR): The MR segment reported $7.6 million of Adjusted EBITDA during the second quarter of 2024 compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $13.0 million in the prior year period. Second quarter results reflect improved operating results and higher volumes from our renewables business, while our specialty asphalt refinery plant posted lower results as commodity spreads tightened.

Corporate: Total corporate costs represent $(20.7) million of Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter 2024. This compares to $(18.1) million of Adjusted EBITDA in the second quarter 2023.

Calumet Specialty Products Partners, L.P. Completes Conversion to C-Corporation: As previously announced, Calumet Specialty Products Partners, L.P. completed the previously announced conversion (the "Conversion") of its structure from an MLP to a C-Corporation, pursuant to which the unitholders of the Partnership became shareholders of Calumet, Inc. As previously announced, at the Partnership's special meeting of unitholders held on July 9, 2024, over 99% of the votes cast on the Conversion proposal were cast in favor of the approval of the Conversion. The Partnership's unitholders also voted to approve all other proposals presented at the special meeting.

Operations Summary

The following table sets forth information about the Partnership's continuing operations. Facility production volume differs from sales volume due to changes in inventories and the sale of purchased blendstocks such as ethanol and specialty blendstocks, as well as the resale of crude oil.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Our management uses certain non-GAAP performance measures to analyze operating segment performance and non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate past performance and prospects for the future to supplement our financial information presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). These financial and operational non-GAAP measures are important factors in assessing our operating results and profitability and include performance measures along with certain key operating metrics.

We use the following financial performance measures:

EBITDA: We define EBITDA for any period as net income (loss) plus interest expense (including amortization of debt issuance costs), income taxes and depreciation and amortization. Historically, we considered net income (loss) to be the most directly comparable GAAP measure to EBITDA. We believe net income (loss) is the most directly comparable GAAP measure to EBITDA.

Adjusted EBITDA: We define Adjusted EBITDA for any period as: EBITDA adjusted for (a) impairment; (b) unrealized gains and losses from mark to market accounting for hedging activities; (c) realized gains and losses under derivative instruments excluded from the determination of net income (loss); (d) non-cash equity-based compensation expense and other non-cash items (excluding items such as accruals of cash expenses in a future period or amortization of a prepaid cash expense) that were deducted in computing net income (loss); (e) debt refinancing fees, extinguishment costs, premiums and penalties; (f) any net gain or loss realized in connection with an asset sale that was deducted in computing net income (loss); (g) amortization of turnaround costs; (h) LCM inventory adjustments; (i) the impact of liquidation of inventory layers calculated using the LIFO method; (j) RINs mark-to-market adjustments; and (k) all extraordinary, unusual or non-recurring items of gain or loss, or revenue or expense.

Distributable Cash Flow: We define Distributable Cash Flow for any period as Adjusted EBITDA less replacement and environmental capital expenditures, turnaround costs, cash interest expense (consolidated interest expense less non-cash interest expense), gain (loss) from unconsolidated affiliates, net of cash distributions and income tax expense (benefit).

Specialty Products and Solutions segment Adjusted EBITDA Margin: We define Specialty Products and Solutions segment Adjusted EBITDA Margin for any period as Specialty Products and Solutions segment Adjusted EBITDA divided by Specialty Products and Solutions segment sales.

Specialty Products and Solutions segment Adjusted gross profit (loss): We define Specialty Products and Solutions segment Adjusted gross profit (loss) for any period as Specialty Products and Solutions segment gross profit (loss) excluding the impact of (a) LCM inventory adjustments; (b) the impact of liquidation of inventory layers calculated using the LIFO method; (c) RINs mark-to-market adjustments; (d) depreciation and amortization; and (e) all extraordinary, unusual or non-recurring items of revenue or cost of sales.

Performance Brands segment Adjusted gross profit (loss): We define Performance Brands segment Adjusted gross profit (loss) for any period as Performance Brands segment gross profit (loss) excluding the impact of (a) LCM inventory adjustments; (b) the impact of liquidation of inventory layers calculated using the LIFO method; (c) RINs mark-to-market adjustments; (d) depreciation and amortization; and (e) all extraordinary, unusual or non-recurring items of revenue or cost of sales.

Montana/Renewables segment Adjusted gross profit (loss): We define Montana/Renewables segment Adjusted gross profit (loss) for any period as Montana/Renewables segment gross profit (loss) excluding the impact of (a) LCM inventory adjustments; (b) the impact of liquidation of inventory layers calculated using the LIFO method; (c) RINs mark-to-market adjustments; (d) depreciation and amortization; and (e) all extraordinary, unusual or non-recurring items of revenue or cost of sales.

The definition of Adjusted EBITDA that is presented in this press release is similar to the calculation of (i) "Consolidated Cash Flow" contained in the indentures governing our 11.00% Senior Notes due 2025 (the "2025 Notes"), our 8.125% Senior Notes due 2027 (the "2027 Notes"), our 9.75% Senior Notes due 2028 (the "2028 Notes"), and our 9.25% Senior Secured First Lien Notes due 2029 (the "2029 Secured Notes") and (ii) "Consolidated EBITDA" contained in the credit agreement governing our revolving credit facility. We are required to report Consolidated Cash Flow to the holders of our 2025 Notes, 2027 Notes, 2028 Notes, and 2029 Secured Notes and Consolidated EBITDA to the lenders under our revolving credit facility, and these measures are used by them to determine our compliance with certain covenants governing those debt instruments. Please see our filings with the SEC, including our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and Current Reports on Form 8-K, for additional details regarding the covenants governing our debt instruments.

These non-GAAP measures are used as supplemental financial measures by our management and by external users of our financial statements such as investors, commercial banks, research analysts and others, to assess:

  • the financial performance of our assets without regard to financing methods, capital structure or historical cost basis;
  • the ability of our assets to generate cash sufficient to pay interest costs and support our indebtedness;
  • our operating performance and return on capital as compared to those of other companies in our industry, without regard to financing or capital structure;
  • the viability of acquisitions and capital expenditure projects and the overall rates of return on alternative investment opportunities; and
  • our operating performance excluding the non-cash impact of LCM and LIFO inventory adjustments, RINs mark-to-market adjustments, and depreciation and amortization.

We believe that these non-GAAP measures are useful to analysts and investors, as they exclude transactions not related to our core cash operating activities and provide metrics to analyze our ability to fund our capital requirements and to pay interest on our debt obligations. We believe that excluding these transactions allows investors to meaningfully analyze trends and performance of our core cash operations.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Distributable Cash Flow, and segment Adjusted gross profit (loss) should not be considered alternatives to Net income (loss), Operating income (loss), Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, gross profit (loss) or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP. In evaluating our performance as measured by EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Distributable Cash Flow, and segment Adjusted gross profit (loss) management recognizes and considers the limitations of these measurements. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect our liabilities for the payment of income taxes, interest expense or other obligations such as capital expenditures. Accordingly, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Distributable Cash Flow, and segment Adjusted gross profit (loss) are only a few of several measurements that management utilizes. Moreover, our EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Distributable Cash Flow, and segment Adjusted gross profit (loss) may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of another company because all companies may not calculate EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Distributable Cash Flow, and segment Adjusted gross profit (loss) in the same manner. Please see the section of this release entitled "Non-GAAP Reconciliations" for tables that present reconciliations of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Distributable Cash Flow to Net income (loss), our most directly comparable GAAP financial performance measure; and segment Adjusted gross profit (loss) to segment gross profit (loss), our most directly comparable GAAP financial performance measure.
