• 43% increase in Water Solutions segment Adjusted EBITDA, reaching $87.4 million.
• Produced water volumes processed increased approximately 37% year-over-year.

Negative

• Loss from continuing operations of $1.2 million, compared to a profit of $6.0 million in prior year.
• Operating income in Crude Oil Logistics decreased, impacted by changes in the Grand Mesa Pipeline.
• Liquids Logistics faced significant losses from a facility sale, reporting an operating income of $11.5 million with an $11.7 million loss included.

TULSA, Okla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- NGL Energy Partners LP (NYSE:NGL) (“NGL,” “our,” “we,” or the “Partnership”) today reported its second quarter Fiscal 2022 results. Highlights for the quarter include:

• Loss from continuing operations for the second quarter of Fiscal 2022 of $1.2 million, compared to income from continuing operations of $6.0 million for the second quarter of Fiscal 2021. Excluding losses on the disposal or impairment of assets, income from continuing operations for the second quarter of Fiscal 2022 was $12.5 million, compared to $11.9 million for the second quarter of Fiscal 2021
• Adjusted EBITDA¹ from continuing operations for the second quarter of Fiscal 2022 of $146.3 million, compared to $138.0 million for the second quarter of Fiscal 2021
• Record quarterly Adjusted EBITDA of $87.4 million in the Water Solutions segment, a 43% increase versus the second quarter of Fiscal 2021
• Produced water volumes processed increased approximately 37% versus the same period in the prior year, with volumes growing approximately 94,000 barrels per day, or 5.6%, versus the preceding quarter
• Fiscal 2022 Adjusted EBITDA guidance of $570 million - $600 million and expected full year capital expenditures of approximately $115 million²

“Our Water Solutions segment achieved strong growth due to increased customer activities in the Delaware basin. Produced water volumes have grown meaningfully year-over-year and sequentially quarter-over-quarter. We expect water volumes to continue to grow for the foreseeable future. Operational free cash flow, reduction in working capital requirements and asset sale proceeds will be deployed to the balance sheet to reduce leverage,” stated Mike Krimbill, NGL’s CEO. “Our top priority is to reduce absolute debt and drive leverage below 4.75 times,” Krimbill concluded.

Water Solutions

The Partnership processed approximately 1.8 million barrels of water per day during the quarter ended September 30, 2021, a 37.3% increase when compared to approximately 1.3 million barrels of water per day processed during the quarter ended September 30, 2020, due to higher production volumes primarily in the Delaware Basin driven by the recovery in crude oil prices from the prior year.

Revenues from recovered crude oil, including the impact from realized skim oil hedges, totaled $19.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2021, an increase of $6.8 million from the prior year period. This was due to higher crude oil prices, larger amounts of skim oil recovered per barrel of water processed and increasing producer activity.

Operating expenses in the Water Solutions segment decreased to $0.26 per barrel compared to $0.27 per barrel in the comparative quarter last year primarily due to continued efforts to reduce operating costs per barrel along with higher produced water volumes processed.

Crude Oil Logistics

Operating income for the second quarter of Fiscal 2022 decreased compared to the second quarter of Fiscal 2021 primarily due to lower revenues related to the Grand Mesa Pipeline, which was primarily the result of the court-approved rejection of the Extraction transportation agreement (as part of its bankruptcy) as well as decreased production in the DJ Basin. During the three months ended September 30, 2021, financial volumes on the Grand Mesa Pipeline averaged approximately 80,000 barrels per day, compared to approximately 123,000 barrels per day for the three months ended September 30, 2020. For the quarter, our margins, excluding the impact of derivatives, benefited from higher crude oil prices which increased contracted rates with some producers.

Liquids Logistics

Operating income for the Liquids Logistics segment totaled $11.5 million, including a loss on the sale of a facility of $11.7 million, for the quarter ended September 30, 2021. Excluding the loss on the sale of the facility, operating income increased by $8.9 million compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2020, due to higher product margins, including the impact of derivatives.

Propane volumes decreased by approximately 72.4 million gallons, or 28.6%, compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2020, due to backwardation in the propane market and deferred purchases from customers. Butane volumes decreased by approximately 18.5 million gallons, or 12.9%, compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2020, due to the tight supply market as a result of decreased refinery runs and an increase in demand for exports.

Corporate and Other

Corporate and Other expenses decreased from the comparable prior year period primarily due to lower legal expenses.

Capitalization and Liquidity

Total liquidity (cash plus available capacity on our asset-based revolving credit facility) was approximately $207 million as of September 30, 2021. Borrowings on the Partnership’s revolving credit facility totaled approximately $146.0 million. The balance increase from March 31, 2021 was primarily due to increases in working capital balances driven by increased inventory volumes and higher commodity prices.

The Partnership is in compliance with all of its debt covenants and has no significant debt maturities before November 2023. The Partnership expects to generate operational free cash flow in Fiscal Year 2022, which will be utilized to repay outstanding indebtedness and improve leverage.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

NGL defines EBITDA as net income (loss) attributable to NGL Energy Partners LP, plus interest expense, income tax expense (benefit), and depreciation and amortization expense. NGL defines Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA excluding net unrealized gains and losses on derivatives, lower of cost or net realizable value adjustments, gains and losses on disposal or impairment of assets, gains and losses on early extinguishment of liabilities, equity-based compensation expense, acquisition expense, revaluation of liabilities, certain legal settlements and other. NGL also includes in Adjusted EBITDA certain inventory valuation adjustments related to TransMontaigne Product Services, LLC (“TPSL”), our refined products business in the mid-continent region of the United States (“Mid-Con”) and our gas blending business in the southeastern and eastern regions of the United States (“Gas Blending”), which are included in discontinued operations, and certain refined products businesses within NGL’s Liquids Logistics segment, as discussed below. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as alternatives to net (loss) income, (loss) income from continuing operations before income taxes, cash flows from operating activities, or any other measure of financial performance calculated in accordance with GAAP, as those items are used to measure operating performance, liquidity or the ability to service debt obligations. NGL believes that EBITDA provides additional information to investors for evaluating NGL’s ability to make quarterly distributions to NGL’s unitholders and is presented solely as a supplemental measure. NGL believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides additional information to investors for evaluating NGL’s financial performance without regard to NGL’s financing methods, capital structure and historical cost basis. Further, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, as NGL defines them, may not be comparable to EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, or similarly titled measures used by other entities.

Other than for certain businesses within NGL’s Liquids Logistics segment, for purposes of the Adjusted EBITDA calculation, NGL makes a distinction between realized and unrealized gains and losses on derivatives. During the period when a derivative contract is open, NGL records changes in the fair value of the derivative as an unrealized gain or loss. When a derivative contract matures or is settled, NGL reverses the previously recorded unrealized gain or loss and records a realized gain or loss. NGL does not draw such a distinction between realized and unrealized gains and losses on derivatives of certain businesses within NGL’s Liquids Logistics segment. The primary hedging strategy of these businesses is to hedge against the risk of declines in the value of inventory over the course of the contract cycle, and many of the hedges cover extended periods of time. The “inventory valuation adjustment” row in the reconciliation table reflects the difference between the market value of the inventory of these businesses at the balance sheet date and its cost, adjusted for the impact of seasonal market movements related to our base inventory and the related hedge. NGL includes this in Adjusted EBITDA because the unrealized gains and losses associated with derivative contracts associated with the inventory of this segment, which are intended primarily to hedge inventory holding risk and are included in net income, also affect Adjusted EBITDA. In NGL’s Crude Oil Logistics segment, they purchase certain crude oil barrels using the West Texas Intermediate (“WTI”) calendar month average (“CMA”) price and sell the crude oil barrels using the WTI CMA price plus the Argus CMA Differential Roll Component (“CMA Differential Roll”) per NGL’s contracts. To eliminate the volatility of the CMA Differential Roll, NGL entered into derivative instrument positions in January 2021 to secure a margin of approximately $0.20 per barrel on 1.5 million barrels per month from May 2021 through December 2023. Due to the nature of these positions, the cash flow and earnings recognized on a GAAP basis will differ from period to period depending on the current crude oil price and future estimated crude oil price which are valued utilizing third-party market quoted prices. NGL is recognizing in Adjusted EBITDA the gains and losses from the derivative instrument positions entered into in January 2021 to properly align with the physical margin NGL is hedging each month through the term of this transaction. This representation aligns with management’s evaluation of the transaction.

Distributable Cash Flow is defined as Adjusted EBITDA minus maintenance capital expenditures, income tax expense, cash interest expense, preferred unit distributions and other. Maintenance capital expenditures represent capital expenditures necessary to maintain the Partnership’s operating capacity. For the CMA Differential Roll transaction, as discussed above, we have included an adjustment to Distributable Cash Flow to reflect, in the period for which they relate, the actual cash flows for the positions that settled that are not being recognized in Adjusted EBITDA. Distributable Cash Flow is a performance metric used by senior management to compare cash flows generated by the Partnership (excluding growth capital expenditures and prior to the establishment of any retained cash reserves by the Board of Directors) to the cash distributions expected to be paid to unitholders. Using this metric, management can quickly compute the coverage ratio of estimated cash flows to planned cash distributions. This financial measure also is important to investors as an indicator of whether the Partnership is generating cash flow at a level that can sustain, or support an increase in, quarterly distribution rates. Actual distribution amounts are set by the Board of Directors.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release includes “forward-looking statements.” All statements other than statements of historical facts included or incorporated herein may constitute forward-looking statements. Actual results could vary significantly from those expressed or implied in such statements and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties. While NGL believes such forward-looking statements are reasonable, NGL cannot assure they will prove to be correct. The forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that affect operations, financial performance, and other factors as discussed in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Other factors that could impact any forward-looking statements are those risks described in NGL’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and other public filings. You are urged to carefully review and consider the cautionary statements and other disclosures made in those filings, specifically those under the heading “Risk Factors.” NGL undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements except as required by law.

NGL provides Adjusted EBITDA guidance that does not include certain charges and costs, which in future periods are generally expected to be similar to the kinds of charges and costs excluded from Adjusted EBITDA in prior periods, such as income taxes, interest and other non-operating items, depreciation and amortization, net unrealized gains and losses on derivatives, lower of cost or net realizable value adjustments, gains and losses on disposal or impairment of assets, gains and losses on early extinguishment of liabilities, equity-based compensation expense, acquisition expense, revaluation of liabilities and items that are unusual in nature or infrequently occurring. The exclusion of these charges and costs in future periods will have a significant impact on the Partnership’s Adjusted EBITDA, and the Partnership is not able to provide a reconciliation of its Adjusted EBITDA guidance to net income (loss) without unreasonable efforts due to the uncertainty and variability of the nature and amount of these future charges and costs and the Partnership believes that such reconciliation, if possible, would imply a degree of precision that would be potentially confusing or misleading to investors.
