Insights

Delek Logistics Partners, LP's recent financial results reveal a mixed picture. The company's net income has declined year-over-year, primarily due to increased interest expenses and a notable goodwill impairment charge. However, adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow have seen improvements. The reported DCF coverage ratio of 1.40x is a positive indicator, as it suggests that the company is generating sufficient cash flow to cover its distributions to unitholders, which is a key factor for income-focused investors.

The improved leverage ratio, from 4.89x to 4.34x, indicates a stronger balance sheet and enhanced financial stability. This metric is critical as it demonstrates the company's ability to manage debt and finance its operations effectively. The growth in Midland gathering and processing volumes by nearly 80% signifies a robust operational performance and strategic positioning within the Permian Basin, which is one of the most prolific oil-producing regions in the United States.

Looking at the capital expenditures for 2024, the planned $70 million investment, primarily in growth projects, suggests a strategic focus on expanding and enhancing the company's asset base. This is particularly relevant for long-term investors who are interested in the company's growth trajectory and future cash flow generation potential.

The announcement of Delek Logistics' 44th consecutive quarterly distribution increase reflects the company's commitment to delivering shareholder value. A 1.0% increase from the previous quarter and a 3.4% increase year-over-year may appeal to dividend investors looking for steady income streams. The company's ability to maintain a competitive distribution, despite the challenging economic environment characterized by rising interest rates, is commendable.

However, the market will likely scrutinize the sustainability of these distributions, particularly in light of the impairment charge within the gathering and processing segment. While the long-term outlook remains unchanged, the impairment indicates potential near-term challenges or adjustments in asset valuations, which could affect investor sentiment.

Additionally, the slight decrease in income from equity method investments may be a point of concern. This could reflect underlying issues within the joint venture pipelines segment or market conditions impacting these investments. Investors will be interested in management's strategy to address these concerns and leverage the company's joint venture partnerships effectively.

Delek Logistics' operational focus on the Midland and Delaware gathering systems within the Permian Basin is strategic, considering the basin's significance to the U.S. oil industry. The nearly 80% growth in gathering and processing volumes in Midland is a testament to the strong demand for infrastructure in this area and the company's ability to capitalize on it.

The planned capital expenditures for 2024, with a focus on new connections and volume growth, align with industry trends where midstream companies invest in infrastructure to support upstream production growth. The emphasis on growth projects over sustaining and regulatory projects indicates confidence in the company's existing assets and a forward-looking approach to capture additional market share.

From an industry perspective, the higher terminalling utilization and increased storage and transportation rates reported in the financial results suggest robust demand for Delek Logistics' services. This is a positive sign for the company's core operations and its ability to navigate the competitive energy sector landscape.

BRENTWOOD, Tenn., Feb. 27, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Delek Logistics Partners, LP (NYSE: DKL) ("Delek Logistics") today announced its financial results for the fourth quarter 2023, with reported net income attributable to all partners of $22.1 million, or $0.51 per diluted common limited partner unit. This compares to net income attributable to all partners of $42.7 million, or $0.98 per diluted common limited partner unit, in the fourth quarter 2022. The decrease in net income attributable to all partners was driven by higher interest expense and a fourth quarter 2023 goodwill impairment. Net cash provided in operating activities was $114.7 million in the fourth quarter 2023 compared to net cash used in operating activities of $105.3 million in the fourth quarter 2022. Distributable cash flow was $64.6 million in the fourth quarter 2023, compared to $51.4 million in the fourth quarter 2022.   

For the fourth quarter 2023, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") was $86.1 million.  Excluding the goodwill impairment, adjusted EBITDA was $100.9 million compared to $92.5 million in the fourth quarter 2022. 

"I am pleased to say that Delek Logistics has exceeded quarterly earnings goals, and surpassed last year's strong performance," said Avigal Soreq, President of Delek Logistics' general partner. "We saw substantial growth from new connections in our Midland gathering operations, further validating our strong position in the Permian Basin.  The dedication of our workforce to having safe and reliable operations also contributed to our success.  I'm proud of the team that has gone without a lost time injury 4-years in a row and counting.  We are excited for Delek Logistics' future and numerous growth opportunities. The business looks to utilize capital investments in 2024 to support customer growth and expand upon existing assets."

"In January, the Board approved the 44th consecutive increase in the quarterly distribution to $1.055 per unit. Delek Logistics has a strong track record of delivering value to unitholders. We feel confident in our ability to maintain competitive distributions to our investors as we head into 2024," Mr. Soreq concluded.

Distribution and Liquidity

On January 24, 2024, Delek Logistics declared a quarterly cash distribution of $1.055 per common limited partner unit for the fourth quarter 2023. This distribution was paid on February 12, 2024 to unitholders of record on February 5, 2024. This represents a 1.0% increase from the third quarter 2023 distribution of $1.045 per common limited partner unit, and a 3.4% increase over Delek Logistics' fourth quarter 2022 distribution of $1.020 per common limited partner unit. For the fourth quarter 2023, the total cash distribution declared to all partners was approximately $46.0 million, resulting in a distributable cash flow ("DCF") coverage ratio of 1.40x.

As of December 31, 2023, Delek Logistics had total debt of approximately $1.70 billion and cash of $3.8 million. Additional borrowing capacity, subject to certain covenants, under the $1.05 billion third party revolving credit facility was $269.5 million. The total leverage ratio as of December 31, 2023 of approximately 4.34x was within the requirements of the maximum allowable leverage ratio under the credit facility.

Consolidated Operating Results

Fourth quarter 2023 Adjusted EBITDA was $100.9 million compared with $92.5 million in the fourth quarter 2022. The $8.4 million increase reflects higher contributions from the Midland Gathering and Delaware Gathering systems, terminalling and marketing rate increases, as well as continued strong throughput on joint venture pipelines.  The increase was partially offset by higher operating expenses driven by the growth in operations.

Gathering and Processing Segment

Adjusted EBITDA in the fourth quarter 2023 was $53.3 million compared with $48.1 million in the fourth quarter 2022. The increase was primarily due to higher throughput from Permian Basin assets.

During the fourth quarter 2023, Delek Logistics recorded a $14.8 million impairment charge related to the Delaware Gathering reporting unit within the gathering and processing segment. The impairment was primarily driven by the significant increase in interest rates and timing effect of system connections with producer customers.  The Partnership's long-term outlook of its Delaware Gathering system remains unchanged.

Wholesale Marketing and Terminalling Segment

Adjusted EBITDA in the fourth quarter 2023 was $28.4 million, compared with fourth quarter 2022 Adjusted EBITDA of $23.3 million. The increase was primarily due to higher terminalling utilization.

Storage and Transportation Segment

Adjusted EBITDA in the fourth quarter 2023 was $17.5 million, compared with $16.1 million in the fourth quarter 2022. The increase was primarily due to increased storage and transportation rates.

Investments in Pipeline Joint Ventures Segment

During the fourth quarter 2023, income from equity method investments was $8.5 million compared to $9.0 million in the fourth quarter 2022.

Corporate

Adjusted EBITDA in the fourth quarter 2023 was a loss of $6.9 million compared to a loss of $4.0 million in the fourth quarter 2022.

Capital Program

Delek Logistics Partners expects the 2024 Capital Program to be approximately $70 million, with approximately $20 million for sustaining and regulatory projects and $50 million for growth projects. The 2024 Capital Program compares with the 2023 Capital Program of $74 million, which includes $7 million of capital partially funded by producers. Excluding these proceeds, 2023 capital expenditures were $81 million.

2024 growth capital will be to advance new connections in both the Midland and Delaware gathering systems, enabling continued volume growth at the Partnership.

Non-GAAP Disclosures:

Our management uses certain "non-GAAP" operational measures to evaluate our operating segment performance and non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate past performance and prospects for the future to supplement our GAAP financial information presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These financial and operational non-GAAP measures are important factors in assessing our operating results and profitability and include:

  • Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") - calculated as net income before net interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization expense, including amortization of customer contract intangible assets, which is included as a component of net revenues in our accompanying consolidated statements of income.
  • Adjusted Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("Adjusted EBITDA") - EBITDA adjusted to exclude the impairment of goodwill associated with our Delaware Gathering reporting unit.
  • Distributable cash flow - calculated as net cash flow from operating activities plus or minus changes in assets and liabilities, less maintenance capital expenditures net of reimbursements and other adjustments not expected to settle in cash. Delek Logistics believes this is an appropriate reflection of a liquidity measure by which users of its financial statements can assess its ability to generate cash.
  • Distributable cash flow, as adjusted for transaction costs, or Distributable cash flow, as adjusted - distributable cash flow adjusted to exclude significant, infrequently occurring transaction costs.

Our EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow measures are non GAAP supplemental financial measures that management and external users of our consolidated financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies, may use to assess: 

  • Delek Logistics' operating performance as compared to other publicly traded partnerships in the midstream energy industry, without regard to historical cost basis or, in the case of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, financing methods;
  • the ability of our assets to generate sufficient cash flow to make distributions to our unitholders on a current and on-going basis;
  • Delek Logistics' ability to incur and service debt and fund capital expenditures; and
  • the viability of acquisitions and other capital expenditure projects and the returns on investment of various investment opportunities.

We believe that the presentation of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow measures provide information useful to investors in assessing our financial condition and results of operations and assists in evaluating our ongoing operating performance for current and comparative periods.  EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow should not be considered alternatives to net income, operating income, cash flow from operating activities or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.  EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow have important limitations as analytical tools because they exclude some, but not all, items that affect net income and net cash provided by operating activities. Additionally, because EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow may be defined differently by other partnerships in our industry, our definitions of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other partnerships, thereby diminishing their utility.  For a reconciliation of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow to their most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, please refer to "Results of Operations" below.  See the accompanying tables in this earnings release for a reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures.
