Insights

Financial Analyst

The increased throughput volumes for gas processing, oil terminaling and water gathering reported by Hess Midstream LP signify a robust operational performance, likely driven by heightened Hess drilling activity and augmented gas capture. This operational uptick is critical as it directly influences revenue streams and can lead to improved economies of scale. The 24% increase in gas processing and 19% in oil terminaling are particularly noteworthy, indicating a strong demand for these services and potentially reflecting broader industry trends in energy consumption and production.

From a financial perspective, the reported net income of $152.8 million and net cash from operating activities of $247.6 million demonstrate solid profitability and cash generation. The Adjusted EBITDA of $264.1 million and Adjusted Free Cash Flow of $146.6 million are key indicators of the company's operating efficiency and financial health. These figures suggest that Hess Midstream has maintained a strong margin and has cash available for reinvestment or distribution to shareholders.

The decision to increase the quarterly cash distribution to $0.6343 per Class A share aligns with the company's target of at least 5% growth in annual distributions through 2025. This strategy could be attractive to income-focused investors and may support the stock price by signaling confidence in the company's financial stability and growth prospects.

Market Research Analyst

The capital expenditures of $71.8 million, primarily directed towards the expansion of gas compression capacity, reflect Hess Midstream's strategic focus on growing its core operations. This investment is crucial for maintaining competitiveness and catering to the increasing demand for midstream services, particularly in gas processing and handling. The completion of two new compressor stations, with further expansion potential, positions the company to capitalize on future volume increases, which is a positive signal for potential investors and industry partners.

However, the reported lower shortfall fees due to the transition from higher Minimum Volume Commitments (MVCs) in 2022 to actual physical volumes in 2023 that were at or above MVCs may raise concerns about the predictability of future revenue. This shift indicates a reliance on actual production rather than contractual guarantees, which could introduce variability into revenue streams. Investors and analysts will likely monitor this closely to assess the impact on future financial performance.

Legal Expert

It is important to note that Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Free Cash Flow are non-GAAP measures, which provide additional insight into the company's operational performance but are not standardized across the industry. Investors often scrutinize these measures alongside GAAP financials to gain a comprehensive understanding of a company's financial health. The reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to GAAP reporting measures is essential for transparency and compliance with regulatory standards.

The repurchase of Class B units of Hess Midstream Operations LP and the increased cash distribution to Class A shareholders are indicative of the company's capital allocation strategy. Such corporate actions require careful legal structuring to ensure they are beneficial to all stakeholders and comply with the fiduciary duties of the company's directors. The legal framework surrounding these transactions is complex, particularly in the context of noncontrolling interests and the organizational structure of Hess Midstream, which may affect the distribution of income tax liabilities.

Fourth Quarter 2023 Highlights:

• Throughput volumes increased 24% for gas processing, 19% for oil terminaling and 47% for water gathering compared with the prior-year quarter, primarily due to increased Hess drilling activity, higher gas capture and higher third-party volumes.

HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Hess Midstream LP (NYSE: HESM) (“Hess Midstream”) today reported fourth quarter 2023 net income of $152.8 million compared with net income of $149.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2022. After deduction for noncontrolling interests, net income attributable to Hess Midstream was $37.5 million, or $0.55 basic earnings per Class A share compared with $0.49 basic earnings per Class A share in the fourth quarter of 2022. Hess Midstream generated Adjusted EBITDA of $264.1 million. Net cash provided by operating activities was $247.6 million and Adjusted Free Cash Flow was $146.6 million.

“2023 was a year of continued strong performance and execution for Hess Midstream, as we achieved significant volume growth and further expanded our gas gathering system capacity supporting basin gas capture goals,” said John Gatling, President and Chief Operating Officer of Hess Midstream. “We are focused on reliable operating performance and are positioned well to deliver visible and sustained throughput growth underpinned by our minimum volume commitments.”

Hess Midstream’s results contained in this release are consolidated to include the noncontrolling interests in Hess Midstream Operations LP owned by affiliates of Hess Corporation (“Hess”) and Global Infrastructure Partners (“GIP” and together with Hess, the “Sponsors”). We refer to certain results as “attributable to Hess Midstream LP,” which exclude the noncontrolling interests in Hess Midstream Operations LP owned by the Sponsors.

(1) Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Free Cash Flow are non‑GAAP measures. Definitions and reconciliations of these non‑GAAP measures to GAAP reporting measures appear in the following pages of this release.

Financial Results

Revenues and other income in the fourth quarter of 2023 were $356.5 million compared with $314.6 million in the prior-year quarter. Fourth quarter 2023 revenues included $21.7 million of pass-through electricity, produced water trucking and disposal costs and certain other fees as well as $1.8 million of shortfall fees related to minimum volume commitments (“MVCs”) compared with $16.7 million and $41.7 million, respectively, in the prior-year quarter. Fourth quarter 2023 revenues and other income were up $41.9 million compared with the prior-year quarter, primarily due to higher physical volumes and tariff rates, partially offset by lower shortfall fees due to the transition from higher MVC levels in 2022 to actual physical volumes in 2023 that were at or above MVCs. Total operating costs and expenses in the fourth quarter of 2023 were $146.4 million, up from $118.2 million in the prior-year quarter. The increase was primarily attributable to higher maintenance expenses, costs charged to Hess Midstream under omnibus and employee secondment agreements, pass-through expenses, and higher depreciation expense for additional assets placed in service. Interest expense in the fourth quarter of 2023 was $47.8 million, up from $40.7 million in the prior-year quarter, primarily attributable to higher interest rates on credit facilities and higher borrowings on the company's revolving credit facility.

Net income for the fourth quarter of 2023 was $152.8 million, or $0.55 basic earnings per Class A share, after deduction for noncontrolling interests, compared with $0.49 basic earnings per Class A share in the prior-year quarter. Substantially all of income tax expense was attributed to earnings of Class A shares reflective of Hess Midstream's organizational structure. Net cash provided by operating activities for the fourth quarter of 2023 was $247.6 million.

Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2023 was $264.1 million. Adjusted Free Cash Flow for the fourth quarter of 2023 was $146.6 million.

Full year 2023 net income was $607.7 million, and full year Adjusted EBITDA was $1,022.2 million. At December 31, 2023, debt was approximately $3.2 billion, representing leverage of approximately 3.2x Adjusted EBITDA.

Hess Midstream plans to issue 2024 guidance in a separate release on January 31, 2024.

Operational Highlights

In the fourth quarter of 2023, Hess Midstream completed construction of two new compressor stations. In aggregate, the new stations are expected to provide approximately 100 MMcf/d of installed capacity and can be expanded to provide an additional approximate 30 MMcf/d in the future.

Throughput volumes increased 24% for gas processing and 23% for gas gathering in the fourth quarter of 2023 compared with the fourth quarter of 2022, primarily due to higher production, including third-party volumes, and higher gas capture. Third-party gas volumes were lower than expected in the fourth quarter of 2023 due to delays in bringing new third-party volumes online. Throughput volumes increased 19% for terminaling and 16% for crude oil gathering in the fourth quarter of 2023 compared with the fourth quarter of 2022, primarily due to higher production and higher third-party volumes. Water gathering volumes increased 47%, reflecting higher production and steady organic growth of Hess Midstream's water handling business.

Capital Expenditures

Capital expenditures for the fourth quarter of 2023 totaled $71.8 million and were primarily attributable to continued expansion of Hess Midstream's gas compression capacity. Capital expenditures in the prior-year quarter were $62.4 million and were also primarily attributable to expansion of the company's gas compression capacity.

Quarterly Cash Distributions

On January 29, 2024, the Board of Directors of Hess Midstream's General Partner declared a quarterly cash distribution of $0.6343 per Class A share for the fourth quarter of 2023. The distribution represents an approximate 2.7% increase in the quarterly distribution per Class A share for the fourth quarter of 2023 as compared with the third quarter of 2023. The increase consists of an approximate 1.5% increase in Hess Midstream's distribution level per Class A share in addition to the quarterly 1.2% increase per Class A share consistent with its target of at least 5% growth in annual distributions per Class A share through 2025. The distribution is expected to be paid on February 14, 2024, to shareholders of record as of the close of business on February 8, 2024.

Reconciliation of U.S. GAAP to Non-GAAP Measures

In addition to our financial information presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), management utilizes certain additional non-GAAP measures to facilitate comparisons of past performance and future periods. “Adjusted EBITDA” presented in this release is defined as reported net income (loss) before net interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization and our proportional share of depreciation of our equity affiliates, as further adjusted to eliminate the impact of certain items that we do not consider indicative of our ongoing operating performance, such as transaction costs, other income and other non-cash and non-recurring items, if applicable. We define “Adjusted Free Cash Flow” as Adjusted EBITDA less net interest, excluding amortization of deferred financing costs, cash paid for federal and state income taxes, capital expenditures and ongoing contributions to equity investments. We define "Gross Adjusted EBITDA Margin" as the ratio of Adjusted EBITDA to total revenues, less pass-through revenues. We believe that investors’ understanding of our performance is enhanced by disclosing these measures as they may assist in assessing our operating performance as compared to other publicly traded companies in the midstream energy industry, without regard to historical cost basis or, in the case of Adjusted EBITDA, financing methods, and assessing the ability of our assets to generate sufficient cash flow to make distributions to our shareholders. These measures are not, and should not be viewed as, a substitute for GAAP net income or cash flow from operating activities and should not be considered in isolation. Reconciliations of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Free Cash Flow and Gross Adjusted EBITDA Margin to reported net income (GAAP), net cash provided by operating activities (GAAP) and gross margin (GAAP), are provided below. Hess Midstream is unable to project net cash provided by operating activities with a reasonable degree of accuracy because this metric includes the impact of changes in operating assets and liabilities related to the timing of cash receipts and disbursements that may not relate to the period in which the operating activities occur. Therefore, Hess Midstream is unable to provide projected net cash provided by operating activities, or the related reconciliation of projected Adjusted Free Cash Flow to projected net cash provided by operating activities without unreasonable effort.
