• Free cash flow after distributions was $67.5 million for Q2 2022.
• Raised full-year 2022 guidance for net income to $390-$430 million and adjusted EBITDA to $1.25-$1.29 billion.

DALLAS, Aug. 3, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- EnLink Midstream, LLC (NYSE: ENLC) (EnLink) reported financial results for the second quarter of 2022 and raised full-year 2022 guidance.

Highlights

• Reported net income of $123.9 million, net cash provided by operating activities of $174.9 million, and adjusted EBITDA, net to EnLink, of $299.7 million for the second quarter of 2022, driven by robust producer activity and strong commodity prices.
• Grew adjusted EBITDA 16% compared to the second quarter of 2021 and achieved the highest second quarter adjusted EBITDA result in EnLink's history.
• Delivered $67.5 million of free cash flow after distributions (FCFAD) for the second quarter of 2022, driven by strong operating results.
• Repurchased $52 million of common units in the second quarter of 2022 bringing the total in the first half of 2022 to $75 million.¹
• Exited the second quarter of 2022 with leverage at 3.5x.
• On July 1, 2022, EnLink acquired the North Texas gathering and processing assets of Crestwood Equity Partners LP. The $275 million purchase price represents attractive economics of approximately 4x 2023 EBITDA and a high teens unlevered return, driven by operational synergies and planned redeployment of approximately $50 million of assets, with future additional asset redeployment opportunities available.
• Taking into account the robust second quarter results, closing of the North Texas acquisition and the supportive commodity price environment, EnLink is raising its full-year 2022 guidance. EnLink now expects to report full-year 2022 net income of $390 million to $430 million and adjusted EBITDA of $1.25 billion to $1.29 billion. The midpoint of the adjusted EBITDA guidance range represents an increase of 10% over the initial 2022 guidance midpoint and implies 21% growth over full-year 2021.
• Based on current producer activity and plans, EnLink expects a significant increase in volumes in 2023. As a result of producer plans, EnLink expects to spend $300 million to $330 million on growth capital projects in 2022. These projects leverage existing infrastructure and have high expected returns and quick paybacks. EnLink also expects to make $65 million to $75 million in investment contributions to the Matterhorn Express Pipeline joint venture, which is also an attractive fee-based project.
• Even with increased investment levels, EnLink expects to generate $285 million to $315 million in FCFAD. At the midpoint, this result would represent the third consecutive year of FCFAD of at least $300 million.
• As a result of the improved financial position and outlook, EnLink plans to continue to increase the return of capital to common unitholders from FCFAD in 2022 to $150 million to $200 million.

"I'm pleased to report that EnLink achieved the highest second quarter adjusted EBITDA result in the company's history and overall excellent financial results, driven by robust producer activity and favorable commodity prices. With the strong first half results, continued positive market fundamentals, and the small contribution from our recent North Texas acquisition, we have raised 2022 adjusted EBITDA guidance range midpoint to $1.27 billion, representing an increase of 10% over the initial 2022 guidance midpoint and 21% growth over 2021 adjusted EBITDA," EnLink Chief Executive Officer Jesse Arenivas said. "In my short time at EnLink, I have witnessed the team's commitment to operational excellence and financial discipline, both of which have put us in a position to invest in excellent growth projects, while increasing the return of capital to common unitholders.

"I am also very excited about the progress our team is making to utilize our extensive, in-ground pipeline network to become the CO₂ transportation provider of choice in Louisiana's industrial Mississippi River corridor."

Non-GAAP Financial Information
This press release contains non-generally accepted accounting principles financial measures that we refer to as adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow after distributions (FCFAD), and segment cash flow.

We define adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) plus (less) interest expense, net of interest income; depreciation and amortization; impairments; (income) loss from unconsolidated affiliate investments; distributions from unconsolidated affiliate investments; (gain) loss on disposition of assets; (gain) loss on extinguishment of debt; unit-based compensation; income tax expense (benefit); unrealized (gain) loss on commodity swaps; costs associated with the relocation of processing facilities; accretion expense associated with asset retirement obligations; transaction costs; non-cash expense related to changes in the fair value of contingent consideration; (non-cash rent); and (non-controlling interest share of adjusted EBITDA from joint ventures).

We define free cash flow after distributions as adjusted EBITDA, net to ENLC, plus (less) (growth and maintenance capital expenditures, excluding capital expenditures that were contributed by other entities and relate to the non-controlling interest share of our consolidated entities); (interest expense, net of interest income); (distributions declared on common units); (accrued cash distributions on Series B Preferred Units and Series C Preferred Units paid or expected to be paid); (costs associated with the relocation of processing facilities); non-cash interest (income)/expense; (contributions to investment in unconsolidated affiliates); (payments to terminate interest rate swaps); (current income taxes); and proceeds from the sale of equipment and land.

We define segment cash flow as segment profit less growth and maintenance capital expenditures, which are gross to EnLink prior to giving effect to the contributions by other entities related to the non-controlling interest share of our consolidated entities.

EnLink believes these measures are useful to investors because they may provide users of this financial information with meaningful comparisons between current results and previously-reported results and a meaningful measure of the company's cash flow after it has satisfied the capital and related requirements of its operations. In addition, adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow after distributions are both used as metrics in our short-term incentive program for compensating employees.

Adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow after distributions, and segment cash flow, as defined above, are not measures of financial performance or liquidity under GAAP. They should not be considered in isolation or as an indicator of EnLink's performance. Furthermore, they should not be seen as a substitute for metrics prepared in accordance with GAAP. Reconciliations of these measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measures are included in the following tables. See ENLC's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission for more information.

Other definitions and explanations of terms used in this press release:

The exclusion of these items is due to the uncertainty regarding the occurrence, timing and/or amount of these events.

EnLink does not provide a reconciliation of forward-looking net cash provided by operating activities to adjusted EBITDA because the Company is unable to predict with reasonable certainty changes in working capital, which may impact cash provided or used during the year. Working capital includes accounts receivable, accounts payable, and other current assets and liabilities. These items are uncertain and depend on various factors outside the Company's control.
