HOUSTON, Aug. 6, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Oasis Midstream Partners LP (NYSE: OMP) (the "Partnership" or "OMP") today announced financial results and cash distribution for the quarter ended June 30, 2018 and provided an operational update.

Highlights:

• Declared the quarterly cash distribution for the second quarter of 2018 of $0.4100 per unit, an approximate 5% increase from the cash distribution declared for the first quarter of 2018, in line with the Partnership's 20% annualized distribution growth target.
• Net income was $37.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and net cash from operating activities was $41.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018.
• Adjusted EBITDA was $44.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and net Adjusted EBITDA to the Partnership was $16.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018. See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below.
• Distributable Cash Flow was $14.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018, resulting in distribution coverage of 1.28x and exceeding previously announced estimated coverage between 1.10x to 1.15x. See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below.
• Appointed Harry N. Pefanis to the Board of Directors of OMP's general partner, who brings over 35 years of energy experience having worked in various roles at Plains GP Holdings LP, and its predecessors, since 1983.

Other Key Developments:

• Delivered volumes in-line with or above guidance across all DevCos and services in the second quarter of 2018, driving gross revenue growth of 8% compared to the first quarter of 2018.
• Increased water volumes in Beartooth DevCo LLC ("Beartooth DevCo") to 139.2 thousand barrels of water per day ("Mbwpd"), a 28% increase from the first quarter of 2018. Beartooth DevCo revenue for the second quarter of 2018 increased by $2.8 million. Just under half of the growth came from third party fresh water volumes sales, and OMP continues to supply fresh water for third parties in the third quarter of 2018.
• Gas Plant II remains on schedule and on budget and is expected to come online in November 2018. OMP expects to capture volumes filling over 50% of the plant entering 2019 and over 75% exiting 2019, including volumes from both Oasis Petroleum and third parties.
• Signed multiple third party agreements in the Williston Basin across all three development companies ("DevCos") and commenced investment of capital to fulfill these third party projects.
• Based on strong volume growth from Oasis Petroleum activity and third party opportunities, coupled with an improved operating cost structure, full year 2018 EBITDA is now expected to be $64-$68 million compared to prior guidance of $61-$65 million. The Partnership expects third quarter 2018 distribution coverage to be approximately 1.2x to 1.3x and has increased fourth quarter 2018 distribution coverage from 1.2x to approximately 1.3x. See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures."
• OMP is also increasing 2019 EBITDA estimates from $94-$97 million to $102-$108 million. Distribution coverage is now expected to enter 2019 around 1.4x and quickly increase to 1.5x-1.7x for the remainder of 2019. See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures."

"Oasis Midstream Partners delivered a strong second quarter, putting us in an excellent position to deliver our targeted 20% annual growth in distributions per unit while further increasing distribution coverage," said Taylor Reid, Chief Executive Officer of OMP. "We believe our organic forecast supports our targeted distributions per unit growth of 20% annually past year-end 2021, which is an extended runway from prior guidance. We continue to make progress on our new 200 MMscfpd gas plant in Wild Basin, which remains on time and on budget, and we were able to execute multiple third-party deals with compelling economics. These opportunities in conjunction with robust activity levels in the Williston Basin have led to growth above and beyond our initial projections. Since our IPO less than a year ago, we've established an enviable financial position and continue to see significant growth opportunities ahead through both our symbiotic relationship with Oasis Petroleum and strategic relationship with third parties."

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Cash Interest

Cash Interest is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that is used by management and external users of the Partnership's financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies. We define Cash Interest as interest expense plus capitalized interest less amortization of deferred financing costs included in interest expense. Cash Interest is not a measure of interest expense as determined by United States generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. Management believes that the presentation of Cash Interest provides useful additional information to investors and analysts for assessing the interest charges incurred on our debt, excluding non-cash amortization, and our ability to maintain compliance with our debt covenants.

The following table presents a reconciliation of the GAAP financial measure of interest expense, net of capitalized interest, to the non-GAAP financial measure of Cash Interest for the periods presented:

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that is used by management and external users of the Partnership's financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies. We define Adjusted EBITDA as earnings before interest expense (net of capitalized interest), income taxes, depreciation, amortization, equity-based compensation expenses and other similar non-cash adjustments. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered an alternative to net income, net cash provided by operating activities or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP. Management believes that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA provides information useful to investors and analysts for assessing the Partnership's results of operations, financial performance and its ability to generate cash from its business operations without regard to its financing methods or capital structure, coupled with the Partnership's ability to maintain compliance with its debt covenants. The GAAP measures most directly comparable to Adjusted EBITDA are net income and net cash provided by operating activities, respectively.

Distributable Cash Flow ("DCF")

DCF is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that is used by management and external users of the Partnership's financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies. We define DCF as Adjusted EBITDA attributable to the Partnership less Cash Interest and maintenance capital expenditures attributable to the Partnership. Maintenance capital expenditures are cash expenditures (including expenditures for the construction or development of new capital assets or the replacement, improvement or expansion of existing capital assets) made to maintain, over the long term, system operating capacity, operating income or revenue. DCF should not be considered an alternative to net income, net cash provided by operating activities or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP. Management believes that the presentation of DCF provides information useful to investors and analysts for assessing the Partnership's results of operations, financial performance and ability to generate cash from its business operations without regard to its financing methods or capital structure, coupled with the Partnerships ability to make distributions to its unitholders. The GAAP measures most directly comparable to DCF are net income and net cash provided by operating activities, respectively.

The following table presents reconciliations of the GAAP financial measures of net income and net cash provided by operating activities to the non-GAAP financial measure of Adjusted EBITDA and DCF for the periods presented:
