Sunoco LP Announces Second Quarter Financial and Operating Results
DALLAS, Aug. 8, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --
- Executed definitive agreement to divest a majority of company-operated convenience stores to 7-Eleven, Inc. and launched sales process for remaining company-operated convenience stores in North and West Texas, New Mexico and Oklahoma
- Results of the retail divestitures are presented in discontinued operations
- Maintained quarterly distribution of 82.55 cents and reported current quarter cash coverage of 1.53 times
- Generated Net Loss of $222 million, Adjusted EBITDA(1)of $220 million and Distributable Cash Flow(1), as adjusted, of $158 million
Sunoco LP (NYSE: SUN) ("SUN" or the "Partnership") today announced financial and operating results for the three-month period ended June 30, 2017.
Revenue totaled $2.4 billion, an increase of 13.0 percent, compared to $2.1 billion in the second quarter of 2016. The increase was the result of the average wholesale selling price of fuel being 14 cents per gallon higher than last year and additional wholesale gallons sold.
Total gross profit declined to $165 million, compared to $227 million in the second quarter of 2016, as a result of lower wholesale motor fuel gross profits.
Income from continuing operations was $34 million, versus $57 million in the second quarter of 2016. General and administrative expenses increased $4 million from the second quarter of 2016 to $40 million driven by transaction-related expenses. Other operating expenses decreased $1 million from the second quarter of 2016 to $46 million.
Loss from discontinued operations, net of income taxes, was $256 million including a $320 million charge related to assets held for sale, versus income from discontinued operations, net of income taxes, of $15 million in the second quarter of 2016.
Net loss was $222 million, or ($2.53) per diluted unit, versus $72 million, or $0.53 per diluted unit, in the second quarter of 2016.
Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter totaled $220 million, compared with $164 million in the second quarter of 2016. The favorable year-over-year comparison reflects increased motor fuel gross profit cents per gallon and increased gallons sold.
Distributable Cash Flow, as adjusted, was $158 million, compared to $92 million a year ago. This year over year increase reflects higher Adjusted EBITDA and decreased maintenance capital spend partly offset by increased cash interest expense.
On a weighted-average basis, fuel margin for all gallons sold was 16.2 cents per gallon, compared to 13.8 cents per gallon in the second quarter of 2016. The 2.4 cents per gallon increase was primarily attributable to higher margins in both the retail and wholesale segments.
Net income for the wholesale segment was $5 million compared to $86 million a year ago due to the impact of inventory valuation adjustments. Adjusted EBITDA was $93 million, versus $80 million in the second quarter of last year. Total wholesale gallons sold were 1,374 million, compared to 1,316 million in the second quarter of 2016, an increase of 4.4 percent as a result of growth in the Southwest geography and contribution from the Emerge acquisition. This includes gallons sold to consignment stores and third-party customers, including independent dealers, fuel distributors and commercial customers. The Partnership earned 10.1 cents per gallon on these volumes, compared to 8.8 cents per gallon a year earlier.
Net loss for the retail segment was $227 million compared to a net loss of $14 million a year ago primarily due to a $320 million charge related to assets held for sale. Adjusted EBITDA was $127 million, versus $84 million in the second quarter of last year. Total retail gallons sold increased by 1.4 percent to 650 million gallons as a result of the increased gallons sold across SUN's operating geography. The Partnership earned 29.2 cents per gallon on these volumes, compared to 24.0 cents per gallon a year earlier.
Total merchandise sales increased by 5.4 percent from a year ago to $608 million(2), reflecting the contribution from third party acquisitions and new-to-industry locations opened during the last 12 months. Merchandise sales contributed $196 million of gross profit(3) with a retail merchandise margin of 32.1 percent, a decrease of 0.4 percentage points from the second quarter of 2016.
Same-store merchandise sales increased by 1.0 percent during the second quarter, reflecting growth across all of SUN's convenience store offerings. Same-store gallons decreased by 2.1 percent as a result of weakness throughout SUN's retail geography, particularly on the East Coast partly offset by increased same-store gallons sold in Hawaii. In the Texas oil producing regions, same-store merchandise sales increased by 8.5 percent, and same-store gallons increased 8.7 percent.
As of June 30, 2017, SUN operated 1,353 convenience stores and retail fuel outlets along the East Coast, in the Southwest and in Hawaii. Third party wholesale customers and sites totaled 7,937.
SUN's other recent accomplishments include the following:
- On April 6, SUN announced the planned divestiture of company-operated convenience stores in the continental United States.
- SUN entered into a definitive asset purchase agreement for the sale of a majority of its company-operated convenience stores to 7-Eleven, Inc. Total consideration in the transaction is $3.3 billion in cash plus fuel, merchandise and other inventories.
- As part of the transaction, SUN will enter into a 15-year take-or-pay fuel supply agreement with a 7-Eleven, Inc. subsidiary under which SUN will supply approximately 2.2 billion gallons of fuel annually.
- Also on April 6, SUN retained JP Morgan Securities, LLC to manage the marketing process for the remaining approximately 200 company-operated convenience stores in North and West Texas, New Mexico and Oklahoma in a separate process.
SUN's segment results and other supplementary data are provided after the financial tables below.
Distribution
On July 26, 2017 the Board of Directors of SUN's general partner declared a distribution for the second quarter of 2017 of $0.8255 per unit, which corresponds to $3.3020 per unit on an annualized basis. The distribution will be paid on August 15 to unitholders of record on August 7.
SUN's distribution coverage ratio for the second quarter was 1.53 times. The distribution coverage ratio on a trailing 12-month basis was 1.03 times.
Liquidity
At June 30, SUN had borrowings against its revolving line of credit of $825 million and other long-term debt of $3.6 billion. Availability on the revolving credit facility after borrowings and letters of credit commitments was $655 million. In the second quarter of 2017, SUN did not issue any common units through its at-the-market equity program. The leverage ratio of debt to Adjusted EBITDA, calculated in accordance with SUN's credit agreements, including the revolving credit facility and Term Loan A, was 5.97 times at the end of the second quarter.

Please refer to the discussion and tables under "Reconciliations of Non-GAAP Measures" later in this news release for a discussion of our use of Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow, as adjusted, and a reconciliation to net income. |
(2) | Includes $590 million in merchandise sales from discontinued operations. |
(3) | Includes $191 million in merchandise gross profit from discontinued operations. |

_______________________________ | |
(1) | Excludes the impact of inventory fair value adjustments consistent with the definition of Adjusted EBITDA. |
(2) | EBITDA is defined as earnings before net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, amortization and accretion expense. Adjusted EBITDA further adjusts EBITDA to reflect certain other non-recurring and non-cash items. We define Adjusted EBITDA to also include adjustments for unrealized gains and losses on commodity derivatives and inventory fair value adjustments. We define distributable cash flow as Adjusted EBITDA less cash interest expense, including the accrual of interest expense related to our long-term debt that is paid on a semi-annual basis, Series A Preferred distribution, current income tax expense, maintenance capital expenditures, and other non-cash adjustments. Further adjustments are made to distributable cash flow for certain transaction-related and non-recurring expenses that are included in net income. |
We believe EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow are useful to investors in evaluating our operating performance because: | |
| |
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow are not recognized terms under GAAP and do not purport to be alternatives to net income (loss) as measures of operating performance or to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow have limitations as analytical tools, and one should not consider them in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations include: | |
| |
(3) | Includes amounts from discontinued operations. |
Capital Spending
SUN's gross capital expenditures for the second quarter were $33 million, which included $26 million for growth capital and $7 million for maintenance capital.
Excluding acquisitions, SUN expects to spend approximately $150 million on growth capital and approximately $80 million on maintenance capital for the full year 2017.
Growth capital spending includes the rebuilding of locations SUN is operating on the Indiana Toll Road.
