DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Holly Energy Partners, L.P. ("HEP" or the "Partnership") (NYSE: HEP) today reported financial results for the second quarter of 2023. Net income attributable to HEP for the second quarter of 2023 was $50.2 million ($0.40 per basic and diluted limited partner unit), compared to $56.8 million ($0.45 per basic and diluted limited partner unit) for the second quarter of 2022.

The decrease in net income attributable to HEP was mainly due to higher interest expense associated with higher interest rates.

Distributable cash flow was $73.3 million for the second quarter of 2023, a decrease of $5.2 million, or 6.6%, compared to the second quarter of 2022. The decrease was mainly due to higher interest expense partially offset by higher customer billings. HEP declared a quarterly cash distribution of $0.35 per unit on July 20, 2023.

Commenting on our 2023 second quarter results, Michael Jennings, Chief Executive Officer and President, stated, “HEP delivered solid results during the quarter, supported by safe and reliable operations and strong transportation and storage volumes in the Rockies region. We also announced a quarterly distribution of $0.35 per unit to be paid on August 11, 2023 to unitholders of record on July 31, 2023.”

Second Quarter 2023 Revenue Highlights

Revenues for the second quarter of 2023 were $139.8 million, an increase of $4.0 million compared to the second quarter of 2022. The increase was mainly due to higher revenues from the Sinclair Transportation Company LLC ("Sinclair Transportation") assets we acquired, our UNEV product pipeline and product pipelines servicing Delek US Holdings, Inc.'s (“Delek”) Big Spring, Texas refinery as well as rate increases that went into effect on July 1, 2022, partially offset by lower revenues on our product pipelines servicing HF Sinclair Corporation's ("HF Sinclair") Navajo refinery.

  • Revenues from our refined product pipelines were $28.6 million, an increase of $2.4 million compared to the second quarter of 2022. Shipments averaged 178.8 thousand barrels per day ("mbpd") compared to 178.3 mbpd for the second quarter of 2022. The increase in revenues was mainly due to higher volumes on our UNEV product pipeline and product pipelines servicing Delek's Big Spring, Texas refinery, rate increases that went into effect on July 1, 2022 and more pipeline tariffs recognized as revenue rather than interest income under sales-type lease accounting, partially offset by lower volumes on product pipelines serving HF Sinclair's Navajo refinery.
  • Revenues from our intermediate pipelines were $8.3 million, an increase of $0.8 million compared to the second quarter of 2022. Shipments averaged 104.5 mbpd for the second quarter of 2023 compared to 124.6 mbpd for the second quarter of 2022. The decrease in volumes was mainly due to lower throughputs on our intermediate pipelines servicing HF Sinclair's Navajo refinery while revenues increased due to tariff increases on contractual minimum volume guarantees as well as higher revenues on our Sinclair Transportation intermediate pipelines.
  • Revenues from our crude pipelines were $34.1 million, a decrease of $0.5 million compared to the second quarter of 2022. Shipments averaged 598.7 mbpd compared to 615.3 mbpd for the second quarter of 2022. The decrease in volumes and revenues was mainly attributable to lower volumes on the New Mexico and Texas crude pipelines and the Sinclair Transportation crude pipelines.
  • Revenues from terminal, tankage and loading rack fees were $45.8 million, an increase of $1.3 million compared to the second quarter of 2022. Refined products and crude oil terminalled in the facilities averaged 733.0 mbpd compared to 609.0 mbpd for the second quarter of 2022. The increase in volumes was mainly due to higher volumes on the Sinclair Transportation assets and certain crude tanks. Revenues increased mainly due to higher revenues on the Sinclair Transportation and Tulsa assets as well as rate increases that went into effect on July 1, 2022.
  • Revenues from refinery processing units were $22.9 million, consistent with the second quarter of 2022, and throughputs averaged 59.8 mbpd compared to 72.3 mbpd for the second quarter of 2022. The decrease in volumes was due to decreased throughput at our El Dorado refinery processing units due to a turnaround at that refinery. Revenues did not decrease in proportion to the decrease in volumes mainly due to contractual minimum volume guarantees and rate increases.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2023 Revenue Highlights

Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2023, were $283.0 million, an increase of $27.1 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022. The increase was mainly attributable to revenues from our Sinclair Transportation assets, higher revenues on our Woods Cross refinery processing units, which were down for a scheduled turnaround in March 2022, and rate increases that went into effect on July 1, 2022, partially offset by lower revenues on our product pipelines servicing HF Sinclair's Navajo refinery.

  • Revenues from our refined product pipelines were $53.8 million, an increase of $1.5 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022. Shipments averaged 181.1 mbpd compared to 167.3 mbpd for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The volume and revenue increases were mainly due to volumes on the acquired Sinclair Transportation assets and higher volumes on our UNEV pipeline, partially offset by lower volumes on our product pipelines servicing HF Sinclair's Navajo refinery due to lower throughput at the refinery. We recognized a significant portion of the Sinclair Transportation refined product pipeline tariffs as interest income under sales-type lease accounting.
  • Revenues from our intermediate pipelines were $16.6 million, an increase of $1.6 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022. Shipments averaged 109.4 mbpd compared to 121.2 mbpd for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The decrease in volumes was mainly due to lower throughputs on our intermediate pipelines servicing HF Sinclair's Navajo refinery while revenues increased due to the acquired Sinclair Transportation intermediate pipelines as well as contractual minimum volume guarantees and rate increases that went into effect on July 1, 2022.
  • Revenues from our crude pipelines were $71.2 million, an increase of $5.4 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022. Shipments averaged 624.0 mbpd compared to 571.5 mbpd for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The increase in volumes was mainly attributable to volumes on the acquired Sinclair Transportation crude pipelines. The increase in revenues was mainly due to the acquired Sinclair Transportation crude pipelines, higher revenues on our crude pipeline systems in New Mexico and Texas and rate increases that went into effect on July 1, 2022.
  • Revenues from terminal, tankage and loading rack fees were $92.0 million, an increase of $10.4 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022. Refined products and crude oil terminalled in the facilities averaged 731.2 mbpd compared to 552.0 mbpd for the six months ended June 30, 2022. Volumes increased mainly due to volumes on the acquired Sinclair Transportation assets. Revenues increased mainly due to revenues on the acquired Sinclair Transportation assets, higher butane blending revenues, and rate increases that went into effect on July 1, 2022.
  • Revenues from refinery processing units were $49.4 million, an increase of $8.1 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022. Throughputs averaged 56.5 mbpd compared to 68.8 mbpd for the six months ended June 30, 2022. Revenues increased mainly due to higher revenues from our Woods Cross refinery processing units, which were down for a scheduled turnaround in March 2022, as well as rate increases. The decrease in volumes was due to a turnaround at the El Dorado refinery.

Operating Costs and Expenses Highlights

Operating costs and expenses were $84.6 million and $166.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, representing a decrease of $1.0 million and an increase of $11.3 million from the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. The six month increase was mainly due to operating costs and expenses associated with the acquired Sinclair Transportation assets as well as higher employee costs, partially offset by lower natural gas costs.

Interest Expense and Interest Income Highlights

Interest expense was $26.4 million and $52.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, representing increases of $6.1 million and $18.4 million from the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. The increases were mainly due to higher interest rates on our long-term debt due to market interest rate increases on our senior secured revolving credit facility and our April 2022 issuance of $400 million in aggregate principal amount of 6.375% senior unsecured notes maturing in April 2027, the proceeds of which were used to partially repay outstanding borrowings under our senior secured credit facility following the funding of the cash portion of the Sinclair Transportation acquisition.

Interest income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, totaled $20.4 million and $40.8 million, representing increases of $4.0 million and $3.8 million compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. The increases were mainly due to higher sales-type lease interest income from the acquired Sinclair Transportation pipelines and terminals.

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) is calculated as net income attributable to Holly Energy Partners plus or minus (i) interest expense, (ii) interest income, (iii) state income tax expense and (iv) depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as EBITDA plus or minus (i) our share of Osage environmental remediation costs included in equity in earnings of equity method investments, (ii) acquisition integration and regulatory costs, (iii) tariffs and fees not included in revenues due to impacts from lease accounting for certain tariffs and fees and (iv) pipeline lease payments not included in operating costs and expenses. Portions of our minimum guaranteed 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. 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. It is also used by management for internal analysis and our performance units. We believe that this measure provides investors an enhanced perspective of the operating performance of our assets and the cash our business is generating.

 
Set forth below is our calculation of distributable cash flow.
