Enterprise Reports Results for Third Quarter 2022

Enterprise Products Partners L.P. (“Enterprise”) (NYSE: EPD) today announced its financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Enterprise reported net income attributable to common unitholders of $1.4 billion, or $0.62 per unit on a fully diluted basis, for the third quarter of 2022, compared to $1.2 billion, or $0.52 per unit on a fully diluted basis, for the third quarter of 2021. Net income for the third quarters of 2022 and 2021 was reduced by non-cash, asset impairment charges of $29 million, or $0.01 per fully diluted unit.

Distributable Cash Flow (“DCF”), excluding proceeds from asset sales, increased 16 percent to $1.9 billion for the third quarter of 2022 compared to $1.6 billion for the third quarter of 2021. Distributions declared with respect to the third quarter of 2022 increased 5.6 percent to $0.475 per unit, or $1.90 per unit annualized, compared to distributions declared for the third quarter of 2021. DCF provided 1.8 times coverage of the distribution declared with respect to the third quarter of 2022. Enterprise retained $826 million of DCF for the third quarter of 2022, and $3.3 billion for the twelve months ended September 30, 2022.

Adjusted cash flow provided by operating activities (“Adjusted CFFO”) was $2.0 billion for the third quarter of 2022 compared to $1.7 billion for the third quarter of 2021. Enterprise’s payout ratio of distributions to common unitholders and partnership unit buybacks for the twelve months ended September 30, 2022, was 56 percent of Adjusted CFFO. For the twelve months ended September 30, 2022, Adjusted Free Cash Flow (“Adjusted FCF”) was $3.0 billion. Excluding $3.2 billion used for the acquisition of Navitas Midstream Partners, LLC (“Navitas Midstream”) in February 2022, the partnership’s payout ratio of Adjusted FCF for this period was 70 percent.

“Enterprise reported strong financial results for the third quarter of 2022,” said A.J. “Jim” Teague, co-chief executive officer of Enterprise’s general partner. “Our third quarter performance was very similar to our record second quarter of 2022. Enterprise reported a $232 million increase in gross operating margin for the third quarter of 2022 compared to the third quarter of last year. These results were primarily driven by contributions from the partnership’s Midland Basin natural gas gathering and processing business (acquired in February 2022) and higher gross operating margin from our natural gas processing, octane enhancement and natural gas pipeline businesses. These businesses more than offset a $149 million decrease in gross operating margin from our propylene business, primarily due to lower average propylene sales margins, and a $59 million decrease in gross operating margin from our EFS Midstream System due to the expiration of minimum volume commitments in July 2022.”

“During the third quarter, our pipelines transported a record 11.3 million barrels per day equivalent of NGLs, crude oil, natural gas, refined products and petrochemicals. Enterprise’s natural gas pipelines transported a record 17.5 trillion Btus per day for the third quarter of 2022. The partnership also set quarterly volumetric records for NGL fractionation, ethane export, butane isomerization and fee-based natural gas processing volumes,” stated Teague.

“Enterprise generated $1.9 billion of DCF for the third quarter of 2022 that provided 1.8 times coverage of the cash distribution for the quarter. We retained approximately $826 million of excess DCF to reinvest in the partnership, reduce debt and buy back common units. We have $5.5 billion of organic growth projects under construction. These major projects remain on-time and on-budget,” said Teague.

Review of Third Quarter 2022 Results

Enterprise reported an 11 percent increase in total gross operating margin to $2.3 billion for the third quarter of 2022 compared to $2.1 billion for the third quarter of 2021. Below is a detailed review of each business segment’s quarterly performance.

NGL Pipelines & Services – Gross operating margin from the NGL Pipelines & Services segment was $1.3 billion for the third quarter of 2022, a 27 percent increase from $1.0 billion reported for the third quarter of 2021.

Enterprise’s natural gas processing and related NGL marketing business reported gross operating margin of $485 million for the third quarter of 2022, an 84 percent increase over gross operating margin of $264 million for the third quarter of 2021. Gross operating margin for the third quarters of 2022 and 2021 included non-cash, MTM gains of $18 million and $38 million, respectively.

The partnership’s Midland Basin natural gas processing facilities, acquired in February 2022, contributed $128 million of gross operating margin in the third quarter of 2022 on 972 MMcf/d of fee-based natural gas processing volumes and 57 MBPD of equity NGL-equivalent production volumes.

The partnership’s Delaware Basin natural gas processing plants reported $93 million of gross operating margin this quarter compared to $57 million for the third quarter of 2021. The $36 million net increase was primarily due to higher average processing margins, including the impact of hedging activities, and higher fee-based natural gas processing volumes of 180 MMcf/d, partially offset by lower equity NGL-equivalent production volumes of 26 MBPD.

Gross operating margin from Enterprise’s South Texas natural gas processing facilities increased $12 million this quarter compared to the same quarter last year, primarily due to higher average processing margins, including the impact of hedging activities. Fee-based natural gas processing volumes at these facilities increased 64 MMcf/d for the third quarter of 2022 compared to the same quarter last year.

In general, higher NGL prices contributed to an increase in average processing margins for Enterprise’s natural gas processing business. The weighted-average indicative NGL price for the third quarter of 2022 increased 13 percent to $0.95 per gallon from $0.84 per gallon for the third quarter of 2021. Total fee-based natural gas processing volumes were a record 5.2 Bcf/d in the third quarter of 2022 compared to 4.0 Bcf/d in the third quarter of 2021. Equity NGL-equivalent production volumes were 182 MBPD for the third quarter of 2022 compared to 150 MBPD for the same quarter last year.

Gross operating margin from NGL marketing activities increased a net $46 million for the third quarter of 2022 compared to the third quarter of 2021, primarily due to higher average sales margins and sales volumes, partially offset by lower non-cash, MTM earnings.

Gross operating margin from the partnership’s NGL pipelines and storage business for the third quarter of 2022 increased to $611 million compared to $570 million for the third quarter of 2021.

Gross operating margin from the partnership’s Eastern ethane pipelines, which include our ATEX and Aegis pipelines, increased a combined $39 million for the third quarter of this year compared to the third quarter of 2021, primarily due to higher transportation volumes of 30 MBPD on the ATEX Pipeline as well as higher deficiency fees.

A number of Enterprise’s NGL pipelines, including the Mid-America (“MAPL”) and Seminole NGL Pipeline Systems, Shin Oak NGL Pipeline and Chaparral NGL pipeline, serve the Permian Basin and Rocky Mountain regions. On a combined basis, these pipelines reported a net $25 million decrease in gross operating margin for the third quarter of 2022 compared to the third quarter of 2021, primarily due to lower deficiency fees, including the impacts of certain contracts associated with the Rocky Mountain pipeline segment of the MAPL system that terminated during the third quarter of 2021, and higher utility and other operating costs, partially offset by higher transportation volumes of 34 MBPD, net to our interest.

The Enterprise Hydrocarbons Terminal (“EHT”) had a $18 million decrease in gross operating margin for the third quarter of this year compared to the third quarter of 2021, primarily due to lower average loading fees. LPG export volumes at EHT increased 49 MBPD this quarter compared to the third quarter of last year.

Gross operating margin from Enterprise’s EFS Midstream System decreased $59 million this quarter compared to the third quarter of 2021, primarily due to lower deficiency fees as a result of the expiration of minimum volume commitments associated with certain long-term gathering agreements entered into at the time Enterprise acquired the system in July 2015. The EFS Midstream System will continue to transport volumes produced from dedicated acreage through the remaining term of these agreements.

Enterprise’s share of gross operating margin associated with the Seaway Pipeline decreased $19 million for the third quarter of this year compared to the same quarter in 2021, primarily due to lower average transportation fees.

The weighted-average indicative market price for NGLs (based on prices for such products at Mont Belvieu, Texas, which is the primary industry hub for domestic NGL production) was $0.95 per gallon during the third quarter of 2022 versus $0.84 per gallon during the third quarter of 2021. Fluctuations in our consolidated revenues and cost of sales amounts are explained in large part by changes in energy commodity prices. An increase in our consolidated marketing revenues due to higher energy commodity sales prices may not result in an increase in gross operating margin or cash available for distribution, since our consolidated cost of sales amounts would also be expected to increase due to comparable increases in the purchase prices of the underlying energy commodities. The same type of relationship would be true in the case of lower energy commodity sales prices and purchase costs.

FCF is a non-GAAP measure of how much cash a business generates after accounting for capital expenditures such as plants or pipelines. Additionally, Adjusted FCF is a non-GAAP measure of how much cash a business generates, excluding the net effect of changes in operating accounts, after accounting for capital expenditures. We believe that FCF is important to traditional investors since it reflects the amount of cash available for reducing debt, investing in additional capital projects and/or paying distributions. We believe that Adjusted FCF is also important to traditional investors for the same reasons as FCF, without regard for fluctuations caused by timing of when amounts earned or incurred were collected, received or paid from period to period. Since we partner with other companies to fund certain capital projects of our consolidated subsidiaries, our determination of FCF and Adjusted FCF appropriately reflect the amount of cash contributed from and distributed to noncontrolling interests.

Adjusted CFFO is a non-GAAP measure that represents net cash flow provided by operating activities before the net effect of changes in operating accounts, as summarized from the Company’s Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. We believe that it is important to consider this non-GAAP measure as it can often be a better way to measure the amount of cash generated from our operations that can be used to fund our capital investments or return value to our investors through cash distributions and buybacks, without regard for fluctuations caused by timing of when amounts earned or incurred were collected, received or paid from period to period.

Sustaining capital expenditures are capital expenditures (as defined by GAAP) resulting from improvements to and major renewals of existing assets. Such expenditures serve to maintain existing operations but do not generate additional revenues.

(2)

The first nine months of 2021 include $100 million of accounts receivable that we do not expect to collect in the normal billing cycle.

DCF is an important non-GAAP liquidity measure for our common unitholders since it serves as an indicator of our success in providing a cash return on investment. Specifically, this liquidity 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. DCF 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 is based on the amount of cash distributions a partnership can pay to a common unitholder.

Excludes amortization of major maintenance costs for reaction-based plants, which are a component of Adjusted EBITDA.

Adjusted EBITDA is commonly used as a supplemental financial measure by our management and external users of our financial statements, such as investors, commercial banks, research analysts and rating agencies, to assess the financial performance of our assets without regard to financing methods, capital structures or historical cost basis; the ability of our assets to generate cash sufficient to pay interest and support our indebtedness; and the viability of projects and the overall rates of return on alternative investment opportunities.

Since Adjusted EBITDA excludes some, but not all, items that affect net income or loss and because these measures may vary among other companies, the Adjusted 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 Adjusted EBITDA is net cash flow provided by operating activities.

Excludes amortization of major maintenance costs for reaction-based plants, which are a component of gross operating margin.

We evaluate segment performance based on our financial measure of gross operating margin. Gross operating margin is an important performance measure of the core profitability of our operations and forms the basis of our internal financial reporting. We believe that investors benefit from having access to the same financial measures that our management uses in evaluating segment results.

The term “total gross operating margin” represents GAAP operating income exclusive of (i) depreciation, amortization and accretion expenses (excluding amortization of major maintenance costs for reaction-based plants), (ii) impairment charges, (iii) gains and losses attributable to asset sales and related matters, and (iv) general and administrative costs. Total gross operating margin includes equity in the earnings of unconsolidated affiliates, but is exclusive of other income and expense transactions, income taxes, the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles and extraordinary charges. Total gross operating margin is presented on a 100 percent basis before any allocation of earnings to noncontrolling interests. The GAAP financial measure most directly comparable to total gross operating margin is operating income.

Total gross operating margin excludes amounts attributable to shipper make-up rights as described in footnote (6) to Exhibit A of this press release.
