NuStar Energy L.P. (NYSE:NS) reported strong second quarter 2019 earnings results, highlighted NuStar’s significant progress on its 2019 capital projects program and outlined NuStar’s expectations for the second half of 2019 and beyond.

“We generated great results this quarter,” said Brad Barron, president and chief executive officer of NuStar Energy L.P. “All our key indicators were up in the second quarter, including net income, total pipeline and storage segment revenue, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), and distributable cash flow (DCF) available to common limited partners.”

Barron noted that NuStar has continued to substantially improve its debt metrics, pointing to a second quarter 2019 Debt-to-EBITDA ratio of 3.95 times, which is a significant improvement over the 4.72 times ratio at the end of the second quarter of 2018.

“I am very pleased that we were able to close on our sale of the St. Eustatius operations at a healthy double-digit multiple in July, and that sale, along with the EBITDA improvement evident in our results for the quarter, has allowed us to lower our year-end 2019 Debt-to-EBITDA ratio projection to 4.1 times,” Barron said. “What’s more, the sale of the St. Eustatius operations not only lowered our leverage; it also simplified our business, reduced our risk profile, lowered our 2019 reliability capital, and allows us to focus 100% on our core business here in North America.”

Barron explained that the majority of NuStar’s 2019 spending is earmarked for the build-out of its Permian Crude System, as well as its projects to deploy under-utilized assets to supply refined products to Northern Mexico and its Corpus Christi export project.

He also announced that the first stage of NuStar’s Corpus export project, which utilizes its 16” pipeline in South Texas to receive and transport WTI volumes from a connection to Cactus II to its Corpus Christi export facility, is now complete and ready for service.

“We are excited to report that, starting as soon as next week, our Corpus Christi dock facility will be the first in the Port of Corpus Christi to export barrels transported to South Texas via one of three large Permian long-haul pipeline projects. The second stage of our export project, a new 8-mile 30” pipeline to transport WTI volumes from a connection to Cactus II in Taft, Texas to our Corpus Christi terminal is also on-schedule to be in service this quarter, as are our two projects to supply refined products to Northern Mexico,” Barron said.

Commenting on the full-year and beyond, Barron said, “We expect NuStar to continue to generate solid results this year, as we continue to expect adjusted EBITDA in the range of $665-$715 million, and we expect our DCF coverage for the year to be a strong 1.3 times to 1.4 times. And in 2020, when the cash flows from our current capital projects are fully ramped up and we plan to spend significantly less strategic capital, we expect our results to be even stronger,” said Barron.

Second Quarter 2019 Results, Impact of Non-Cash Impairment and Full-Year Projections

NuStar Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, Tom Shoaf, outlined NuStar’s financial results for the second quarter of 2019.

“In connection with the sale of our St. Eustatius operations to Prostar Capital, the results for the St. Eustatius operations for all periods presented in our earnings tables are now reported within discontinued operations. Further, discontinued operations for the prior year periods include the results for our European operations, which were sold in late 2018. Our reported second quarter results, which include adjusted net income, adjusted EPU, adjusted EBITDA, DCF and related metrics, include results for both continuing and discontinued operations. Excluded from these measures is a non-cash impairment charge totaling $8.4 million, related to the St. Eustatius divestiture,” Shoaf noted.

“NuStar’s adjusted net income was $54 million for the second quarter of 2019, up $25 million or 85% compared to net income of $29 million for the second quarter of 2018. Second quarter 2019 adjusted earnings per unit (EPU) were $0.18 per unit, higher than EPU of $0.15 in the second quarter of 2018, even with the dilutive impact of our merger to simplify our structure and eliminate our IDRs.

“For the second quarter of 2019, we generated adjusted EBITDA of $169 million, up $12 million or 8% over second quarter 2018 EBITDA of $157 million.”

Shoaf also noted that NuStar’s second quarter 2019 earnings benefited from strong pipeline segment results due to the continued throughput volume ramp on its Permian Crude System, and increased crude volumes on its Ardmore system resulting from its recent connection to the Sunrise pipeline at Wichita Falls. He also stated that the storage side of NuStar’s business saw increased storage and dock fee revenues at its Corpus Christi North Beach terminal from increased quarterly volume receipts on its South Texas Crude System, as well as the start-up of revenue from some recently completed West Coast biofuel storage projects.

Shoaf went on to say that, “Second quarter 2019 distributable cash flow (DCF) available to common limited partners was $90 million, up $8 million from second quarter 2018 DCF available to common limited partners of $82 million. And he further noted that, “The distribution coverage ratio to the common limited partners was a strong 1.39 times for the second quarter of 2019.”

NuStar Energy L.P. and Subsidiaries

Consolidated Financial Information - Continued

(Unaudited, Thousands of Dollars, Except Ratio Data)

Note 1: NuStar Energy L.P. utilizes financial measures, such as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), distributable cash flow (DCF) and distribution coverage ratio, which are not defined in U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Management believes these financial measures provide useful information to investors and other external users of our financial information because (i) they provide additional information about the operating performance of the partnership’s assets and the cash the business is generating, (ii) investors and other external users of our financial statements benefit from having access to the same financial measures being utilized by management and our board of directors when making financial, operational, compensation and planning decisions and (iii) they highlight the impact of significant transactions. We also use adjusted measures of net income, net income per common unit and EBITDA, which are not defined in GAAP, to enhance the comparability of performance across periods.

Our board of directors and management use EBITDA and/or DCF when assessing the following: (i) the performance of our assets, (ii) the viability of potential projects, (iii) our ability to fund distributions, (iv) our ability to fund capital expenditures and (v) our ability to service debt. In addition, our board of directors uses a distribution coverage ratio, which is calculated based on DCF, as one of the factors in its compensation determinations. DCF is a widely accepted financial indicator used by the master limited partnership (MLP) investment community to compare partnership performance. DCF is used by the MLP investment community, in part, because the value of a partnership unit is partially based on its yield, and its yield is based on the cash distributions a partnership can pay its unitholders.

None of these financial measures are presented as an alternative to net income. They should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for a measure of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. The following is a reconciliation of net income (loss) to EBITDA, DCF and distribution coverage ratio; therefore, the reconciling items include activity from continuing and discontinued operations on a combined basis.

  1. We intend to satisfy the vestings of these equity-based awards with the issuance of our common units. As such, the expenses related to these awards are considered non-cash and added back to DCF. Certain awards include distribution equivalent rights (DERs). Payments made in connection with DERs are deducted from DCF.
  2. For the six months ended June 30, 2018, DCF includes an adjustment for insurance proceeds received related to hurricane damage at our St. Eustatius terminal. Each quarter we add an amount to DCF to offset the amount of reliability capital expenditures incurred related to hurricane damage.
  3. Represents non-cash impairment losses associated with long-lived assets and goodwill at our St. Eustatius terminal.
  4. Distribution coverage ratio is calculated by dividing DCF available to common limited partners by distributions applicable to common limited partners.
