Enterprise Reports Record Results for Fourth Quarter 2007; Generates $1 Billion of Distributable Cash Flow in 2007
Enterprise Products Partners L.P. (NYSE:EPD) today announced its
financial results for the three months and year ended December 31, 2007.
The partnership reported net income of $162 million, or $0.30 per unit
on a fully diluted basis, for the fourth quarter of 2007 compared to net
income of $133 million, or $0.25 per unit on a fully diluted basis, for
the fourth quarter of 2006.
Distributable cash flow was $262 million in the fourth quarter of 2007
compared to $240 million in the fourth quarter of 2006. On January 15,
2008, the board of directors of Enterprise’s
general partner approved an increase in the partnership’s
quarterly cash distribution rate to $0.50 per unit with respect to the
fourth quarter of 2007. This represents a 7 percent increase over the
$0.4675 per unit rate that was paid with respect to the fourth quarter
of 2006. Distributable cash flow for the fourth quarter of 2007 provided
1.05 times coverage of the cash distribution to be paid by the
partnership to its limited partners. Distributable cash flow is a
non-generally accepted accounting principle (or "non-GAAP”)
financial measure that is defined and reconciled later in this press
release to its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, net cash
flows provided by operating activities.
For 2007, Enterprise reported net income of $534 million, or $0.96 per
unit on a fully diluted basis, compared to $601 million, or $1.22 per
unit on a fully diluted basis, for 2006. Approximately $74 million of
the decrease in net income is due to higher interest expense associated
with debt issued to fund Enterprise’s growth
projects, of which most were not in operation for the full year.
Distributable cash flow in 2007 was a record $1.0 billion versus $978
million for 2006. Distributable cash flow for 2007 provided 1.03 times
coverage of the $1.9475 of cash distributions that were declared with
respect to 2007.
"Enterprise reported record performance in the
fourth quarter of 2007 as new projects began operations and started to
contribute cash flow,” said Michael A. Creel,
president and chief executive officer of Enterprise. "For
the quarter, the partnership posted a 27 percent increase in gross
operating margin to a record $431 million. Contributions from the
Independence platform and pipeline, Meeker natural gas processing plant,
Mid-America pipeline expansion and Hobbs fractionator, together with
strong demand for our network of midstream assets, resulted in record
volumes for the quarter with over 2 million barrels per day of NGLs,
petrochemicals and crude oil transported through our liquids pipelines
and 8.5 trillion Btus per day carried by our natural gas pipelines.
Notably, our Mid-America and Seminole NGL pipelines transported a record
1 million barrels per day. In addition, the partnership’s
NGL fractionation facilities handled a record 400,000 barrels per day.” "As good as the fourth quarter of 2007 was,
it could have been much better. Construction delays and start-up issues
that resulted in unexpected downtime at our Meeker and Pioneer natural
gas processing plants cost the partnership, in terms of expense and
foregone revenue opportunities, approximately $85 million, or $0.19 per
unit, of net income for the quarter. Meeker is now fully operational and
has been processing an average of 530 million cubic feet per day of
natural gas with 27,000 barrels per day of NGL production in January,
while the Pioneer plant is in the commissioning phase and is expected to
begin processing natural gas shortly.” "We have invested approximately $3.9 billion
in new projects over the last two years. With the completion of the
Meeker and Pioneer plants coupled with the performance of our
Independence project, we expect 2008 to be an exceptional year as we
begin to harvest the cash flow from these investments for Enterprise and
our partners,” concluded Creel.
Revenue for the fourth quarter of 2007 increased to a record $5.3
billion from $3.4 billion in the fourth quarter of 2006. Gross operating
margin was a record $431 million for the fourth quarter of this year
compared to $340 million for the fourth quarter of 2006. Operating
income was $270 million for the fourth quarter of 2007, a 31 percent
increase, versus $206 million in the same quarter of 2006. Earnings
before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA”)
for the fourth quarter of 2007 was a record $403 million, a 26 percent
increase, compared to $319 million for the fourth quarter of 2006. Gross
operating margin and EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures that are
defined and reconciled later in this press release to their most
directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
Revenue for 2007 increased to a record $17 billion from $14 billion in
2006. Gross operating margin was a record $1.5 billion in 2007 compared
to $1.4 billion for 2006. Operating income was a record $883 million for
2007 versus $860 million for 2006. EBITDA for 2007 was a record $1.4
billion compared to $1.3 billion for 2006.
Review of Segment Performance for the
Fourth Quarter of 2007 NGL Pipelines & Services – Gross
operating margin for the NGL Pipeline and Services segment was $223
million for the fourth quarter of 2007 compared to $203 million for the
same quarter of 2006. The fourth quarter of 2007 included $9 million of
proceeds from business interruption insurance claims compared to no
recoveries in the fourth quarter of 2006.
Excluding these insurance recoveries, Enterprise’s
natural gas processing business recorded gross operating margin of $106
million for the fourth quarter of 2007 versus $91 million in the fourth
quarter of 2006. Enterprise’s Chaco, South
Louisiana and South Texas processing facilities reported a combined $36
million improvement in gross operating margin, primarily due to higher
realized prices for equity NGL production.
This increase was partially offset by expenses associated with the
delays in the start-up of both the Meeker and Pioneer plants due to the
need to replace defective high pressure valves and address third-party
engineering design problems. Earlier this year in anticipation of these
plants being in operation during the fourth quarter, the partnership
entered into transactions to economically hedge a percentage of the
expected NGL production at these plants in order to capture near record
natural gas processing margins. These transactions entailed the physical
forward sales of NGLs and the purchase of natural gas. The unexpected
downtime at Meeker and the delayed start-up of Pioneer resulted in
actual NGL production and natural gas consumption for the fourth quarter
of 2007 being lower than the volume the partnership hedged. The cost to
replace the defective valves and the expense resulting from the
non-cash, mark-to-market charge on the short, or over hedged, NGL
balance and the liquidation of the long natural gas position totaled
approximately $29 million, or $0.07 per unit. The gross operating margin
generated by Meeker from actual production was offset by a decrease in
gross operating margin from the NGL marketing business.
"The start-up problems associated with the
Meeker and Pioneer facilities are atypical for Enterprise, do not meet
our engineering and operating standards, and are not consistent with our
40-year history of developing midstream projects,”
stated Creel. "We are actively engaged in
efforts to obtain recovery for certain of our losses and to ensure that
we do not experience these types of problems on our future projects.”
Equity NGL production, the NGLs that Enterprise earns and takes title to
as a result of providing processing services, increased 33 percent to 85
thousand barrels per day ("MBPD”)
for the fourth quarter of 2007 from 64 MBPD for the same quarter in
2006. This increase is primarily due to equity NGL production associated
with the Meeker plant which was in service for part of the fourth
quarter of 2007. Natural gas volumes processed under fee-based contracts
increased to approximately 2.4 billion cubic feet per day ("Bcfd”)
this quarter from 2.2 Bcfd in the fourth quarter of 2006.
Gross operating margin from the partnership’s
NGL pipeline and storage business was $87 million in the fourth quarter
of 2007 compared to $90 million in the fourth quarter of 2006, excluding
recoveries from business interruption insurance. This decrease was
primarily attributable to an $18 million decline in gross operating
margin, or $0.04 per unit, from the Dixie Pipeline due to lower volumes
and costs resulting from the November 2007 rupture of the pipeline near
Carmichael, Mississippi and the receipt of proceeds in the fourth
quarter of 2006 for a settlement with a shipper with respect to a
contamination incident that occurred in 2005. This decrease was
partially offset by increases in gross operating margin from the
Mid-America and Seminole NGL pipelines, DEP South Texas NGL pipeline,
Mont Belvieu NGL storage facility and our NGL import facility. Volumes
associated with the NGL pipeline and storage business for the fourth
quarter of 2007, as a whole, increased 13 percent to a record 1.8
million barrels per day from 1.6 million barrels per day for the fourth
quarter of 2006.
Gross operating margin from Enterprises’ NGL
fractionation business was $21 million in the fourth quarter of 2007
versus $22 million reported for the same quarter of 2006, excluding
recoveries from business interruption insurance. The gross operating
margin attributable to the Hobbs fractionator, which began operations in
August 2007, was largely offset by expenses incurred with the start-up
of the facility. NGL fractionation volumes for the fourth quarter of
2007 increased 60 MBPD, or 17 percent, to 404 MBPD from 344 MBPD
recorded in the fourth quarter of 2006. The Hobbs fractionator accounted
for 43 MBPD of this increase and is currently fractionating an average
of 65 MBPD in January 2008.
Onshore Natural Gas Pipelines & Services –
Enterprise’s Onshore Natural Gas Pipelines
and Services segment reported a 40 percent increase in gross operating
margin to $101 million for the fourth quarter of 2007 compared to $72
million for the fourth quarter of 2006.
The partnership’s onshore natural gas
pipeline business generated gross operating margin of $91 million in the
fourth quarter of 2007, a 38 percent increase over the $66 million of
gross operating margin reported for the fourth quarter of 2006. This
increase was principally attributable to increases in gross operating
margin from (i) the San Juan gathering system due primarily to lower
expenses; (ii) the settlement of a pipeline measurement claim; (iii) the
partnership’s share of the equity earnings
from the Jonah gas gathering system as the result of a larger ownership
interest and an increase in volumes; (iv) Enterprise’s
Texas intrastate pipeline due to an increase in capacity reservation and
transport revenues; and (v) the addition of the Piceance Creek gathering
system, which was acquired on December 27, 2006.
Onshore natural gas transportation volumes increased 15 percent to a
record 6.8 trillion British thermal units per day ("TBtud”)
for the fourth quarter of 2007 from 5.9 TBtud in the same quarter of
2006. Piceance Creek and our net share of volumes from Jonah accounted
for 1.0 TBtud of the transportation volume for the fourth quarter of
2007.
Gross operating margin from the partnership’s
natural gas storage business was $10 million for the fourth quarter of
2007 compared to $7 million for the same quarter in 2006. This increase
was primarily attributable to improved results at the Wilson storage
facility in Texas due to lower repair expenses in 2007 and a 2006 loss
on the sale of base gas. All repairs are now complete on the three
Wilson storage wells that were taken out of service in the second
quarter of 2006. We are in the process of dewatering the caverns and
returning working gas storage capacity to service which should be
largely complete in the second quarter of 2008. Since the second quarter
of 2006, when the facility was effectively taken out of service,
Enterprise’s gross operating margin has been
reduced by approximately $29 million due to the outage and associated
repair costs.
Offshore Pipelines & Services –
Gross operating margin for the Offshore Pipelines and Services segment
increased 174 percent to $74 million in the fourth quarter of 2007 from
$27 million in the same quarter of 2006. The Independence project added
$48 million of total gross operating margin for the fourth quarter of
2007 on average natural gas throughput of 719 billion British thermal
units per day (BBtud). Gross operating margin for the fourth quarter of
2007 and 2006 also included recoveries from business interruption
insurance claims of $2 million and $1 million, respectively.
The offshore platform service business reported gross operating margin
of $42 million for the fourth quarter of 2007, an increase of $31
million from $11 million reported in the fourth quarter of 2006. The
Independence Hub platform, which became operational in March 2007,
generated $30 million of this increase from fixed and volumetric
revenues. Enterprise’s share of offshore
platform natural gas and crude oil processing volumes for the fourth
quarter of 2007 increased by 340 percent and 8 percent, respectively,
over the same quarter of 2006.
Gross operating margin from Enterprise’s
offshore natural gas pipeline business increased to $21 million in the
fourth quarter of 2007 from $8 million in the fourth quarter of 2006,
excluding recoveries from business interruption insurance in both
periods. This increase was principally due to an $18 million increase in
gross operating margin from the Independence Trail pipeline, which began
operations in July 2007. Partially offsetting the benefit from
Independence was a decrease in volumes and revenues from other pipeline
systems including the Viosca Knoll and High Island/East Breaks
pipelines. Transportation volumes for the offshore natural gas pipeline
business were 1.8 TBtud in the fourth quarter of 2007 compared to 1.5
TBtud in the same quarter of 2006. Volumes through the Independence
platform and pipeline have averaged approximately 900 BBtud in January
2008.
Enterprise’s offshore oil pipeline business
recorded gross operating margin of $9 million for the fourth quarter of
2007 compared to $7 million for the fourth quarter of 2006. An increase
in equity earnings from Enterprise’s 50
percent ownership interest in the Cameron Highway Oil Pipeline system
due to higher volumes and lower interest expense was offset by lower
volumes on certain of the partnership’s other
offshore oil pipelines. BP commenced production from the Atlantis
development during December 2007 that resulted in gross volumes on the
Cameron Highway Oil Pipeline increasing to 100 MBPD for the fourth
quarter of 2007 from 52 MBPD for the same quarter of 2006. In January
2008, gross volumes of crude oil on Cameron Highway have averaged
approximately 160 MBPD and the pipeline is currently flowing
approximately 185 MBPD of crude oil.
Petrochemical Services – Gross
operating margin for the Petrochemical Services segment was $33 million
in the fourth quarter of 2007 compared to $37 million in the same
quarter of 2006.
Enterprise’s butane isomerization business
reported a 25 percent increase in gross operating margin to $20 million
in the fourth quarter of 2007 compared to $16 million in the fourth
quarter of 2006. This improvement was primarily attributable to an 8
percent increase in volumes to 80 MBPD in the fourth quarter of 2007,
versus 74 MBPD in the same quarter of 2006, and higher revenues from
sales of by-products.
The partnership’s propylene fractionation and
petrochemical pipeline business earned $17 million of gross operating
margin during the fourth quarter of 2007, versus $12 million in the same
quarter of 2006. This increase was due primarily to higher sales margins
in the fourth quarter of 2007. Propylene fractionation volumes were 60
MBPD for the fourth quarter of 2007 and 2006. Petrochemical pipeline
transportation volumes were 107 MBPD during the fourth quarter of 2007
compared to 109 MBPD in the fourth quarter of 2006.
Enterprise’s octane enhancement business
reported a gross operating margin loss of $4 million in the fourth
quarter of 2007 compared to a profit of $9 million in the fourth quarter
of 2006. The decrease in gross operating margin was due primarily to a
decrease in sales margins and volumes for isooctane and an increase in
repair and maintenance expenses. Octane enhancement production was 7
MBPD for the fourth quarter of 2007 compared to 11 MBPD for the fourth
quarter of 2006.
Capitalization – Total debt principal
outstanding at December 31, 2007 was approximately $6.9 billion,
including $1.25 billion of junior subordinated notes to which the debt
rating agencies ascribe, on average, approximately 58 percent equity
content. Enterprise’s consolidated debt also
included $200 million of debt of Duncan Energy Partners L.P. ("DEP”)
for which Enterprise does not have the payment obligation. Enterprise
had total liquidity of approximately $1.0 billion at December 31, 2007,
which includes availability under the partnership’s
$1.75 billion, five-year credit facility and unrestricted cash.
Total capital spending in the fourth quarter of 2007, net of
contributions in aid of construction, was approximately $546 million.
This includes $43 million of sustaining capital expenditures and $14
million of investments in unconsolidated affiliates.
Interest expense for the fourth quarter of 2007 was $92 million on an
average debt balance of $7.0 billion compared to interest expense of $61
million in the fourth quarter of 2006 which had an average debt balance
of $5.2 billion. The increase in the average debt balance between the
two periods is principally due to funding the partnership’s
2007 capital investment program.
Today, Enterprise will host a conference call to discuss fourth quarter
earnings. The call will be broadcast live over the Internet at 9:00 a.m.
Central Standard Time and may be accessed by visiting the company’s

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release and the accompanying schedules include the non-GAAP
financial measures of gross operating margin, EBITDA and distributable
cash flow. The accompanying schedules provide reconciliations of these
non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable financial
measure calculated and presented in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP”).
Our non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as alternatives
to GAAP measures such as net income, operating income, net cash flows
provided by operating activities or any other GAAP measure of liquidity
or financial performance.
Gross operating margin. We
evaluate segment performance based on the non-GAAP financial measure of
gross operating margin. Gross operating margin (either in total or by
individual segment) is an important performance measure of the core
profitability of our operations. This measure forms the basis of our
internal financial reporting and is used by senior management in
deciding how to allocate capital resources among business segments. We
believe that investors benefit from having access to the same financial
measures that our management uses in evaluating segment results. The
GAAP measure most directly comparable to total segment gross operating
margin is operating income.
We define total segment gross operating margin as operating income
before: (1) depreciation, amortization and accretion expense; (2)
operating lease expenses for which we do not have the payment
obligation; (3) gains and losses on the sale of assets; and (4) general
and administrative costs. Gross operating margin is exclusive of other
income and expense transactions, provision for income taxes, minority
interest, cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles and
extraordinary charges. Gross operating margin by segment is calculated
by subtracting segment operating costs and expenses (net of the
adjustments noted above) from segment revenues, with both segment totals
before the elimination of intercompany transactions. In accordance with
GAAP, intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in
consolidation. Our non-GAAP financial measure of total segment gross
operating margin should not be considered as an alternative to GAAP
operating income.
We include earnings from equity method unconsolidated affiliates in our
measurement of segment gross operating margin. Our equity investments
with industry partners are a vital component of our business strategy.
They are a means by which we conduct our operations to align our
interests with those of our customers and/or suppliers. This method of
operation also enables us to achieve favorable economies of scale
relative to the level of investment and business risk assumed versus
what we could accomplish on a stand-alone basis. Many of these
businesses perform supporting or complementary roles to our other
business operations. As circumstances dictate, we may increase our
ownership interest in equity investments, which could result in their
subsequent consolidation into our operations.
EBITDA. We define EBITDA as
net income or loss plus interest expense, provision for income taxes and
depreciation and amortization and accretion expense. EBITDA is commonly
used as a supplemental financial measure by management and by external
users of financial statements, such as investors, commercial banks,
research analysts and rating agencies, to assess: (1) the financial
performance of our assets without regard to financing methods, capital
structures or historical cost basis; (2) the ability of our assets to
generate cash sufficient to pay interest cost and support our
indebtedness; (3) our operating performance and return on capital as
compared to those of other companies in the midstream energy industry,
without regard to financing and capital structure; and (4) the viability
of projects and the overall rates of return on alternative investment
opportunities. Because EBITDA excludes some, but not all, items that
affect net income or loss and because these measures may vary among
other companies, the EBITDA data presented in this press release may not
be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. The GAAP
measure most directly comparable to EBITDA is net cash flows provided by
operating activities.
Distributable cash flow. We
define distributable cash flow as net income or loss plus: (1)
depreciation, amortization and accretion expense; (2) operating lease
expenses for which we do not have the payment obligation; (3) cash
distributions received from unconsolidated affiliates less equity in the
earnings of such unconsolidated affiliates; (4) the subtraction of
sustaining capital expenditures; (5) the addition of losses or
subtraction of gains relating to the sale of assets; (6) cash proceeds
from the sale of assets or return of investment from unconsolidated
affiliates; (7) gains or losses on monetization of financial instruments
recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income less related
amortization of such amount to earnings; (8) transition support payments
received from El Paso Corporation related to the GulfTerra merger; (9)
minority interest expense associated with the public unitholders of DEP
less related distribution to be paid to such holders with respect to the
period of calculation; (10) the addition of losses or subtraction of
gains relating to other miscellaneous non-cash amounts affecting net
income for the period; and (11) the subtraction of cash expenditures for
asset abandonment activities. Sustaining capital expenditures are
capital expenditures (as defined by GAAP) resulting from improvements to
and major renewals of existing assets. Distributable cash flow is a
significant liquidity metric used by our senior management to compare
basic cash flows generated by us to the cash distributions we expect to
pay our partners. Using this metric, our management can quickly compute
the coverage ratio of estimated cash flows to planned cash distributions.
Distributable cash flow is also an important non-GAAP financial measure
for our limited partners since it serves as an indicator of our success
in providing a cash return on investment. Specifically, this financial
measure indicates to investors whether or not we are generating cash
flows at a level that can sustain or support an increase in our
quarterly cash distributions. Distributable cash flow is also a
quantitative standard used by the investment community with respect to
publicly-traded partnerships because the value of a partnership unit is
in part measured by its yield (which in turn is based on the amount of
cash distributions a partnership can pay to a unitholder). The GAAP
measure most directly comparable to distributable cash flow is net cash
flows provided by operating activities.
