Holly Energy Partners, L.P. Reports Second Quarter Results
Holly Energy Partners (HEP) reported a net income of $55.7 million for Q2 2021, down from $76.5 million in Q2 2020. The decrease was impacted by a $5.3 million gain from a pipeline sale, contrasted with a significant $33.8 million gain in the previous year. Excluding one-time items, net income rose to $50.5 million, driven by higher pipeline volumes despite increased operational costs. Revenues increased to $126.2 million, reflecting a 14% rise in pipeline volumes. The company declared a cash distribution of $0.35 per unit. The recovery from COVID-19 is anticipated to boost future demand.

Commenting on our 2021 second quarter results, Michael Jennings, Chief Executive Officer, stated, "HEP delivered solid results in the quarter, supported by safe and reliable operations and continued improvement in crude and refined product demand in the markets we serve. Looking forward, we remain focused on consistent operational execution as we continue to see demand recovery from COVID-19 in the markets we serve."
Impact of COVID-19 on Our Business
Our business depends in large part on the demand for the various petroleum products we transport, terminal and store in the markets we serve. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the global macroeconomy created diminished demand for refined products and crude oil transportation, and for the terminalling and storage services that we provide. Since the declines in demand at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, we began to see improvement in demand for these products and services beginning late in the second quarter of 2020 that continued through the second quarter of 2021 with volumes in many of our regions returning to pre-pandemic levels. We expect our customers will continue to adjust refinery production levels commensurate with market demand, and with the increasing availability of vaccines, we believe there is a path to a fulsome recovery in demand in 2021. For additional details of the impact of COVID-19 on our business, please see our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2021.
Second Quarter 2021 Revenue Highlights
Revenues for the second quarter were
-
Revenues from our refined product pipelines were
$28.7 million , an increase of$3.7 million compared to the second quarter of 2020. Shipments averaged 171.2 thousand barrels per day ("mbpd") compared to 158.4 mbpd for the second quarter of 2020. The volume and revenue increases were mainly due to higher volumes on pipelines servicing HollyFrontier's Navajo refinery and our UNEV pipeline.
-
Revenues from our intermediate pipelines were
$7.5 million , consistent with the second quarter of 2020. Shipments averaged 143.8 mbpd for the second quarter of 2021 compared to 128.5 mbpd for the second quarter of 2020. The increase in volumes was mainly due to higher throughputs on our intermediate pipelines servicing HollyFrontier's Navajo refinery while revenue remained relatively constant mainly due to contractual minimum volume guarantees.
-
Revenues from our crude pipelines were
$32.1 million , an increase of$5.6 million compared to the second quarter of 2020, and shipments averaged 396.7 mbpd compared to 338.4 mbpd for the second quarter of 2020. The revenue and volume increases were mainly attributable to higher volumes on our crude pipeline systems in Wyoming and Utah.
-
Revenues from terminal, tankage and loading rack fees were
$36.9 million , an increase of$0.6 million compared to the second quarter of 2020. Refined products and crude oil terminalled in the facilities averaged 466.7 mbpd compared to 418.0 mbpd for the second quarter of 2020. The volume increase was mainly the result of higher throughputs at HollyFrontier's El Dorado refinery. Revenues did not increase in proportion to the increase in volumes mainly due to contractual minimum volume guarantees and lower on-going revenues on our Cheyenne assets as a result of the conversion of the HollyFrontier Cheyenne refinery to renewable diesel production.
-
Revenues from refinery processing units were
$21.0 million , an increase of$1.5 million compared to the second quarter of 2020, and throughputs averaged 76.6 mbpd compared to 49.9 mbpd for the second quarter of 2020. The increase in volumes was mainly due to increased throughput for both our Woods Cross and El Dorado processing units. Revenues did not increase in proportion to the increase in volumes mainly due to contractual minimum volume guarantees.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2021 Revenue Highlights
Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2021, were
-
Revenues from our refined product pipelines were
$57.2 million , a decrease of$2.7 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020. Shipments averaged 167.6 mbpd compared to 169.0 mbpd for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The volume and revenue decreases were mainly due to lower volumes on pipelines servicing Delek's Big Spring refinery. Revenue also decreased due to a reclassification of certain pipeline income from revenue to interest income under sales-type lease accounting.
-
Revenues from our intermediate pipelines were
$15.0 million , an increase of$0.1 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020. Shipments averaged 129.6 mbpd compared to 135.3 mbpd for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease in volumes was mainly due to lower throughputs on our intermediate pipelines servicing HollyFrontier's Tulsa refinery while revenue remained relatively constant mainly due to contractual minimum volume guarantees.
-
Revenues from our crude pipelines were
$62.6 million , an increase of$8.0 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020. Shipments averaged 385.3 mbpd compared to 367.8 mbpd for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increases were mainly attributable to increased volumes on our crude pipeline systems in Wyoming and Utah.
-
Revenues from terminal, tankage and loading rack fees were
$75.1 million , an increase of$1.3 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020. Refined products and crude oil terminalled in the facilities averaged 418.1 mbpd compared to 446.8 mbpd for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The volume decrease was mainly the result of lower throughputs at HollyFrontier's Tulsa refinery as well as the cessation of petroleum refinery operations at HollyFrontier's Cheyenne refinery. Revenues increased mainly due to the recognition of$9.9 million of the$10 million termination fee related to the termination of HollyFrontier's minimum volume commitment on our Cheyenne assets partially offset by lower on-going revenues on our Cheyenne assets as a result of the conversion of the HollyFrontier Cheyenne refinery to renewable diesel production as well as a reclassification of certain income from revenue to interest income under sales-type lease accounting.
-
Revenues from refinery processing units were
$43.5 million , an increase of$4.1 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020. Throughputs averaged 68.7 mbpd compared to 59.8 mbpd for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase in volumes was mainly due to increased throughput for both our Woods Cross and El Dorado processing units. Revenues increased mainly due to higher recovery of natural gas costs as well as higher throughputs.

| (1) | Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) is calculated as net income attributable to Holly Energy Partners plus (i) interest expense, net of interest income, (ii) state income tax and (iii) depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as EBITDA plus (i) loss on early extinguishment of debt, (ii) goodwill impairment and (iii) pipeline tariffs not included in revenues due to impacts from lease accounting for certain pipeline tariffs minus (iv) gain on sales-type leases, (v) gain on significant asset sales, and (vi) pipeline lease payments not included in operating costs and expenses. Portions of our minimum guaranteed pipeline tariffs for assets subject to sales-type lease accounting are recorded as interest income with the remaining amounts recorded as a reduction in net investment in leases. These pipeline tariffs were previously recorded as revenues prior to the renewal of the throughput agreement, which triggered sales-type lease accounting. Similarly, certain pipeline lease payments were previously recorded as operating costs and expenses, but the underlying lease was reclassified from an operating lease to a financing lease, and these payments are now recorded as interest expense and reductions in the lease liability. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not calculations based upon generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). However, the amounts included in the EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA calculations are derived from amounts included in our consolidated financial statements. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as alternatives to net income attributable to Holly Energy Partners or operating income, as indications of our operating performance or as alternatives to operating cash flow as a measure of liquidity. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are presented here because they are widely used financial indicators used by investors and analysts to measure performance. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are also used by our management for internal analysis and as a basis for compliance with financial covenants. |
Set forth below is our calculation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA.

Distributable cash flow is not a calculation based upon GAAP. However, the amounts included in the calculation are derived from amounts presented in our consolidated financial statements, with the general exception of maintenance capital expenditures. Distributable cash flow should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net income attributable to Holly Energy Partners or operating income, as an indication of our operating performance, or as an alternative to operating cash flow as a measure of liquidity. Distributable cash flow is not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Distributable cash flow is presented here because it is a widely accepted financial indicator used by investors to compare partnership performance.
