TULSA, Okla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Williams Partners L.P. WPZ today reported second quarter 2015 adjusted EBITDA of $1.01 billion, a $291 million, or 41 percent, increase from second quarter 2014.

The increase in adjusted EBITDA for second quarter 2015 is due to increases of $345 million from Access Midstream as a result of the merger, $119 million from the Atlantic-Gulf segment and $16 million from the Northeast G&P segment. Partially offsetting these increases were a $135 million decrease at NGL & Petchem Services due primarily to the absence of $138 million of assumed business interruption proceeds related to the Geismar plant and a $55 million decrease in the West due to lower NGL margins.

(1) Adjusted EBITDA, distributable cash flow (DCF) and cash distribution coverage ratio are non-GAAP measures. Financial information for 2014 represents Williams Partners L.P. on a basis that is prior to the merger with Access Midstream Partners, L.P. Reconciliations to the most relevant measures included in GAAP are attached to this news release.
 

The increase in adjusted EBITDA in second quarter 2015 as described above by segment was driven by $537 million, or 72 percent, higher fee-based revenues and assumed minimum volume commitments compared with second quarter 2014. Following the merger, the Access Midstream segment contributed $391 million and Atlantic-Gulf and Northeast G&P improved $104 million and $33 million, respectively. Excluding the Access Midstream merger, Williams Partners second-quarter 2015 fee-based revenue was up $130 million, or 17 percent. Geismar contributed approximately $50 million of olefins margins in second quarter 2015. Additionally, the proportional EBITDA from non-consolidated joint ventures increased $121 million for second quarter 2015 versus second quarter 2014, including $92 million from the addition of Access Midstream's joint ventures and $33 million in Atlantic-Gulf as Discovery's Keathley Canyon Connector project ramped up.

Partially offsetting these increases were $210 million higher operating and general and administrative expenses versus second quarter 2014 primarily as a result of the Access Midstream merger, the absence of $138 million of business interruption insurance proceeds related to the Geismar plant and $56 million in lower NGL margins due primarily to NGL prices that are at a 10-year low.

Year-to-date 2015, Williams Partners reported adjusted EBITDA of $1.93 billion, a $440 million, or 30 percent, increase from the same period last year. The year-to-date increase in adjusted EBITDA was driven primarily by the same factors that drove the quarterly results for adjusted EBITDA.

Williams Partners reported unaudited second quarter 2015 net income attributable to controlling interests of $300 million compared with $221 million in second quarter 2014. The increase in second quarter net income was due to new fee revenues from growth projects, including Gulfstar One and Transco expansion projects, increased insurance recoveries associated with the Geismar incident and increased olefins margins from the Geismar plant's return to service. These increases were partially offset by increased operating expenses and depreciation, lower NGL margins driven by lower prices and higher interest expense resulting from new debt issuances.

Year-to-date 2015 net income was $389 million, compared with $573 million year-to-date 2014. The year-to-date decrease in net income was driven primarily by the same factors described above, except that year-to-date Geismar insurance recoveries were lower in the current year.

Distributable Cash Flow & Distributions

For second quarter 2015, Williams Partners generated $701 million in distributable cash flow (DCF) attributable to partnership operations, compared with $504 million in DCF attributable to partnership operations in second quarter 2014. The $197 million increase in DCF for the quarter was driven by the $291 million net increase in adjusted EBITDA, partially offset by higher interest expense.

Year-to-date 2015, Williams Partners generated $1.35 billion in DCF attributable to partnership operations, compared with $1.09 billion in DCF attributable to partnership operations for the same period last year. The $261 million increase in DCF for the six-month period ended June 30 was driven by the $440 million net increase in adjusted EBITDA, partially offset by higher interest expense.

Williams Partners recently announced a regular quarterly cash distribution of $0.85 per unit for its common unitholders. The cash distribution is consistent with the partnership's prior distribution guidance.

CEO Perspective

Alan Armstrong, chief executive officer of Williams Partners' general partner, made the following comments:

"Second quarter results further demonstrate the benefits from our clearly defined strategy of capitalizing on the significant natural gas market growth by connecting the best supplies to the best markets. This strategy has and will continue to deliver significant growth in our fee-based revenues.

"The large-scale infrastructure projects we recently placed into service – including Transco expansions and Gulf of Mexico facilities – generated significant fee-based revenues in the second quarter and we expect those numbers to continue growing throughout 2015.

"As well, the Geismar plant ramped up in the second quarter and is now online and consistently operating at or near its full production capacity. We look forward to the significant contributions the plant will make in the second half of the year."

Access Midstream

Access Midstream provides gathering, treating, and compression services to producers under long term, fee-based contracts in Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Ohio, Louisiana, Texas, Arkansas, Oklahoma and Kansas. Access Midstream also includes a non-operated 50 percent interest in the Delaware Basin gas gathering system in the Mid-Continent region and a 62 percent interest in Utica East Ohio Midstream LLC, a joint project to develop infrastructure for the gathering, processing and fractionation of natural gas and NGLs in the Utica Shale play in Eastern Ohio. Additionally, Access Midstream operates 100 percent of and owns an approximate average 45 percent interest in 11 natural gas gathering systems in the Marcellus Shale region.

Access Midstream reported adjusted EBITDA of $345 million for second quarter 2015. Williams Partners' results for second quarter of 2014 are on a pre-merger basis and exclude Access Midstream. For second quarter 2014, Access Midstream had previously reported $275 million of adjusted EBITDA. The increase in adjusted EBITDA between years was driven by higher fee-based volumes in the Utica and Haynesville areas as well as the higher ownership in the Utica East Ohio Midstream joint venture.

Year-to-date 2015, Access Midstream reported adjusted EBITDA of $659 million, compared with $525 million previously reported for the same period last year. The year-to-date results were driven primarily by the same factors that drove the quarterly results.

Atlantic-Gulf

Atlantic-Gulf includes the Transco interstate gas pipeline and a 41-percent interest in the Constitution interstate gas pipeline development project, which Williams Partners consolidates. The segment also includes the partnership's significant natural gas gathering and processing and crude production handling and transportation in the Gulf Coast region. These operations include a 51-percent interest in Gulfstar One, a 50-percent interest in Gulfstream and a 60-percent interest in Discovery.

Atlantic-Gulf reported adjusted EBITDA of $389 million for second quarter 2015, compared with $270 million for second quarter 2014. The increase was due primarily to $104 million higher fee-based revenues from both Gulfstar One and Transco expansion projects, as well as $33 million higher proportional adjusted EBITDA primarily from Discovery driven by the Keathley Canyon Connector, partially offset by lower NGL margins.

Year-to-date 2015, Atlantic-Gulf reported adjusted EBITDA of $724 million, compared with $536 million for the same period last year. The year-to-date results were driven primarily by the same factors that drove the quarterly results.

NGL & Petchem Services

NGL & Petchem Services includes an 88.5 percent interest in an olefins production facility in Geismar, La., along with a refinery grade propylene splitter and pipelines in the Gulf Coast region. This segment also includes midstream operations in Alberta, Canada, including an oil sands offgas processing plant near Fort McMurray, 260 miles of NGL and olefins pipelines and an NGL/olefins fractionation facility and butylene/butane splitter facility at Redwater. This segment also includes the partnership's energy commodities marketing business, an NGL fractionator and storage facilities near Conway, Kan. and a 50-percent interest in Overland Pass Pipeline.

NGL & Petchem Services reported adjusted EBITDA of $33 million for second quarter 2015, compared with $168 million for second quarter 2014. Geismar contributed approximately $50 million of olefins margins for the second quarter of 2015. Second quarter 2014 adjusted EBITDA included $138 million of assumed business interruption insurance proceeds. Additionally, second quarter 2015 adjusted EBITDA included lower commodity-related margins at the Canadian operations and higher operating expenses related to the Geismar plant ramp-up.

Year-to-date 2015, NGL & Petchem Services reported adjusted EBITDA of $40 million, compared with $404 million for the same period last year. Year-to-date 2014 results include $311 million in assumed business interruption insurance proceeds related to the 2013 incident at the Geismar plant.

The Geismar plant ramped up in the second quarter of 2015 and the expanded plant is now online.

Northeast G&P

Northeast G&P includes the partnership's midstream gathering and processing business in the Marcellus and Utica shale regions, including Susquehanna Supply Hub and Ohio Valley Midstream, as well as its 69-percent equity investment in Laurel Mountain Midstream, and its 58.4-percent equity investment in Caiman Energy II. Caiman Energy II owns a 50 percent interest in Blue Racer Midstream. This segment is in the early stages of developing large-scale energy infrastructure solutions for the Marcellus and Utica shale regions.

Northeast G&P reported adjusted EBITDA of $92 million for second quarter 2015, compared with $76 million for second quarter 2014. The improved results are due primarily to a $33 million increase in fee-based revenues driven primarily by higher fee-based volumes and incremental new services at Ohio Valley Midstream. Volumes at Susquehanna Supply Hub were flat versus second quarter 2014 as a result of price-related production curtailments in 2015.

Year-to-date 2015, Northeast G&P reported adjusted EBITDA of $192 million, compared with $130 million for the same period last year. The year-to-date results were driven primarily by the same factors that drove the quarterly results.

West

West includes the partnership's Northwest Pipeline interstate gas pipeline system, as well as gathering, processing and treating operations in Wyoming, the Piceance Basin and the Four Corners area.

West reported adjusted EBITDA of $150 million for second quarter 2015, compared with $205 million for second quarter 2014. Lower adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was due primarily to $31 million lower NGL margins from lower NGL prices.

Year-to-date 2015, West reported adjusted EBITDA of $312 million, compared with $417 million for the same period last year. Lower adjusted EBITDA for the year-to-date period was due primarily to nearly $80 million lower product margins and $27 million higher operating and maintenance expenses driven by the addition of the Niobrara operations from the Access Midstream merger.

Proposed Acquisition of Williams Partners by Williams

As previously announced on May 13, 2015, Williams and Williams Partners have signed a definitive agreement under which Williams will acquire all of the public outstanding common units of Williams Partners in an all stock-for-unit transaction at a 1.115 ratio of Williams common shares per unit of Williams Partners. Subsequently, on June 21, 2015, Williams publicly announced that it had received and rejected an unsolicited proposal for Williams to be acquired in an all-equity transaction. The unsolicited proposal was contingent on the termination of the proposed acquisition of Williams Partners by Williams. Williams' board of directors has authorized a process to explore a range of strategic alternatives, which could include, among other things, a merger, a sale of Williams, or continuing to pursue Williams' existing operating and growth plan. Williams has indicated that it expects any shareholder vote seeking approval of the proposed acquisition of Williams Partners by Williams to occur after its ongoing review of strategic alternatives is completed.

Guidance

Williams Partners' guidance has been discontinued as a result of the merger agreement between Williams and Williams Partners and Williams' strategic alternatives process. Williams' guidance is provided in the earnings news release issued today by Williams.

Definitions of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This news release may include certain financial measures – adjusted EBITDA, distributable cash flow and cash distribution coverage ratio – that are non-GAAP financial measures as defined under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Our segment performance measure, modified EBITDA, is defined as net income (loss) before income tax expense, net interest expense, equity earnings from equity-method investments, other net investing income, depreciation and amortization expense, and accretion expense associated with asset retirement obligations for nonregulated operations. We also add our proportional ownership share (based on ownership interest) of modified EBITDA of equity investments.

Adjusted EBITDA further excludes items of income or loss that we characterize as unrepresentative of our ongoing operations and may include assumed business interruption insurance related to the Geismar plant. Management believes these measures provide investors meaningful insight into results from ongoing operations.

We define distributable cash flow as adjusted EBITDA less maintenance capital expenditures, cash portion of interest expense, income attributable to noncontrolling interests and cash income taxes, plus WPZ restricted stock unit non-cash compensation and certain other adjustments that management believes affects the comparability of results. Adjustments for maintenance capital expenditures and cash portion of interest expense include our proportionate share of these items of our equity-method investments.

We also calculate the ratio of distributable cash flow to the total cash distributed (cash distribution coverage ratio). This measure reflects the amount of distributable cash flow relative to our cash distribution. We have also provided this ratio calculated using the most directly comparable GAAP measure, net income.

This news release is accompanied by a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their nearest GAAP financial measures. Management uses these financial measures because they are accepted financial indicators used by investors to compare company performance. In addition, management believes that these measures provide investors an enhanced perspective of the operating performance of the Partnership's assets and the cash that the business is generating.

Neither adjusted EBITDA nor distributable cash flow are intended to represent cash flows for the period, nor are they presented as an alternative to net income or cash flow from operations. They should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for a measure of performance prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles.
