MIC REPORTS FIRST QUARTER 2022 FINANCIAL AND OPERATIONAL RESULTS

NEW YORK, May 3, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Macquarie Infrastructure Holdings, LLC (NYSE: MIC) (the "Company") today announced its financial and operational results from continuing operations for the first quarter of 2022.

"Our financial results in the first quarter of 2022 reflect positive trends in the number of visitors to Hawaii which contributed to an increase in the volume of gas sold by Hawaii Gas," said Christopher Frost, chief executive officer of MIC.

In June 2021, the Company entered into a merger agreement with an entity managed by Argo Infrastructure Partners, LP.

"We have received all the approvals other than that from the Hawaii Public Utilities Commission relating to completing the proposed merger. We continue to expect to receive the remaining approval and to conclude the transaction in the first half of 2022," Frost added. "If the merger is concluded on or prior to July 1, 2022, unitholders will receive consideration of $3.83 per unit in cash. If the merger is concluded after July 1, 2022, unitholders will receive $4.11 per unit in cash."

Financial and Operational Results

MIC's results from continuing operations in the first quarter of 2022 reflect improved operating conditions driven by the increase in the number of visitors to Hawaii relative to COVID-induced lows in 2020. The number of visitors to Hawaii in the first quarter increased to approximately 79% of pre-pandemic levels. The increase drove hotel occupancy and restaurant patronage higher and consequently gas sales by Hawaii Gas.

The volume of gas sold by Hawaii Gas in the first quarter increased 11% versus the first quarter in 2021 (the "prior corresponding period") but was 13% below the level recorded in the first quarter of 2019 prior to the pandemic. The financial impact of the increase in gas sales was partially offset by a higher average wholesale cost of Liquified Petroleum Gas distributed by the business.

MIC recorded net income from continuing operations of $11.4 million in the first quarter compared with a net loss of $6.3 million in the prior comparable period.

The Company reported Adjusted EBITDA excluding non-cash items from continuing operations of $9.3 million in the first quarter versus $12.1 million in the prior comparable period.

MIC used $4.5 million of cash in operating activities during the first quarter compared with use of $12.9 million in the prior comparable period.

The Company reported Adjusted Free Cash Flow from continuing operations of $3.4 million in the first quarter versus $9.6 million in the prior comparable period.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures
Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization ("EBITDA") excluding non-cash items and Free Cash Flow

In addition to MIC's results under U.S. GAAP, the Company uses the non-GAAP measures EBITDA excluding non-cash items and Free Cash Flow to assess the performance and prospects of its business.

MIC measures EBITDA excluding non-cash items as a reflection of its ability to effectively manage the volume of products sold, the operating margin earned on those transactions and the management of operating expenses independent of its capitalization and tax position.

The Company believes investors use EBITDA excluding non-cash items primarily as a measure of its operating performance and to make comparisons with the operating performance of other businesses whose depreciation and amortization expense may vary from MIC's, particularly where acquisitions and other non-operating factors are involved. MIC defines EBITDA excluding non-cash items as net income (loss) or earnings — the most comparable GAAP measure — before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and non-cash items including impairments, unrealized derivative gains and losses, adjustments for other non-cash items and pension expense reflected in the statements of income (loss). Other non-cash items, net, excludes the adjustment to bad debt expense related to the specific reserve component, net of recoveries. EBITDA excluding non-cash items also excludes base management fees and performance fees, if any, whether paid in cash or units.

MIC defines Free Cash Flow as cash from operating activities — the most comparable GAAP measure — less maintenance capital expenditures and adjusted for changes in working capital.

Management uses Free Cash Flow as a measure of its ability to fund acquisitions, invest in growth projects, to reduce or repay indebtedness, and/or to return capital to unitholders. GAAP metrics such as net income (loss) do not provide MIC management with the same level of visibility into the performance and prospects of the business as a result of: (i) the capital intensive nature of its operations and the generation of non-cash depreciation and amortization; (ii) units issued to the Company's external manager under the Management Services Agreement, (iii) the Company's ability to defer all or a portion of current federal income taxes; (iv) non-cash mark-to-market adjustment of the value of derivative instruments; (v) gains (losses) related to the write-off or disposal of assets or liabilities, (vi) non-cash compensation expense incurred in relation to the incentive plans for senior management of the Company's operating business; and (vii) pension expense. Pension expenses primarily consist of interest expense, expected return on plan assets, and amortization of actuarial and performance gains and losses. Any cash contributions to pension plans are reflected as a reduction in Free Cash Flow and are not included in pension expense. Management believes that external consumers of its financial statements, including investors and research analysts, could use Free Cash Flow to assess the Company's ability to fund acquisitions, invest in growth projects,  reduce or repay indebtedness, and/or return capital to unitholders.

Management believes that both EBITDA excluding non-cash items and Free Cash Flow support a more complete and accurate understanding of the financial and operating performance of its business than would otherwise be achieved using GAAP results alone.

Free Cash Flow does not take into consideration required payments on indebtedness and other fixed obligations or other cash items that are excluded from MIC's definition of Free Cash Flow. Management notes that Free Cash Flow may be calculated differently by other companies thereby limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure. Free Cash Flow should be used as a supplemental measure to help understand MIC's financial performance and not in lieu of its financial results reported under GAAP.

See the tables below for a reconciliation of Net Income (Loss) to EBITDA excluding non-cash items from continuing operations and a reconciliation of cash used in operating activities from continuing operations to Free Cash Flow from continuing operations.

Classification of Maintenance Capital Expenditures and Growth Capital Expenditures

MIC categorizes capital expenditures as either maintenance capital expenditures or growth capital expenditures. As neither maintenance capital expenditure nor growth capital expenditure is a GAAP term, the Company has adopted a framework to categorize specific capital expenditures. In broad terms, maintenance capital expenditures primarily maintain MIC's current levels of operations, capability, profitability, or cash flow, while growth capital expenditures primarily provide new or enhanced levels of operations, capability, profitability, or cash flow. Management considers various factors in determining whether a specific capital expenditure will be classified as maintenance or growth.

MIC does not bifurcate specific capital expenditures into growth and maintenance components. Each discrete capital expenditure is considered within the above framework and the entire capital expenditure is classified as either maintenance or growth.
