PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 4, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Atlas Pipeline Partners, L.P. APL ("APL", "Atlas Pipeline", or the "Partnership") today reported adjusted earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization ("Adjusted EBITDA"), of $92.9 million for the second quarter of 2014.  Processed natural gas volumes averaged 1,503 million cubic feet per day ("MMCFD"), a 20% increase over the second quarter of 2013.  Distributable Cash Flow was $62.8 million for the second quarter of 2014, or $0.78 per average common limited partner unit, compared to $58.0 million for the prior year's second quarter.  The Partnership recognized net income of $60.5 million for the second quarter of 2014, compared to net income of $10.1 million for the prior year's second quarter.  Net income was higher for second quarter 2014 compared to the prior year's second quarter, mainly due to a $48.5 million gain recognized on the sale of the Partnership's subsidiaries that held a 20% interest in West Texas LPG Pipeline Limited Partnership.

Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow are non-GAAP financial measures, which are reconciled to their most directly comparable GAAP measures in the tables included at the end of this news release.  The Partnership believes these measures provide a more accurate comparison of the operating results for the periods presented.

On July 23, 2014, the Partnership declared a cash distribution for the second quarter of 2014 of $0.63 per common limited partner unit to holders of record on August 7, 2014, which will be paid on August 14, 2014.  This distribution represents Distributable Cash Flow coverage per limited partner unit of approximately 1.1x for the second quarter of 2014.

Eugene Dubay, Chief Executive Officer of the Partnership, commented, "The quarter came in as expected and we were pleased to be able to raise the distribution.  The Partnership has progressed on executing its plans for bringing online the expansion projects that we have invested in over the past year, adding additional capacity in Southern Oklahoma and South Texas.  We expect to complete an additional processing expansion in West Texas this fall and expect to see more organic capital projects and opportunities as we move forward.  We look forward to continuing to provide best in class service to our customers and increasing value to all of our stakeholders."

Capitalization and Liquidity

The Partnership had total liquidity (cash plus available capacity on its revolving credit facility) of $500.9 million as of June 30, 2014.  Total debt outstanding was $1,654.3 million at June 30, 2014, compared to $1,706.8 million at December 31, 2013, a decrease of $52.5 million.  Based upon total debt outstanding at June 30, 2014, total leverage was approximately 4.7x for purposes of calculations under our revolving credit facility, and debt to total capital was 41%.

Risk Management

The Partnership continues to add further protection to its risk management portfolio for forecasted production in 2014 through 2017.  As of August 1, 2014, the Partnership had natural gas, natural gas liquids and condensate protection in place for 2014, 2015 and 2016 for approximately 70%, 50%, and 13%, respectively, of associated margin value (exclusive of ethane).  Counterparties to the Partnership's risk management activities consist of investment grade commercial banks that are lenders under the Partnership's credit facility, or affiliates of those banks.  A table summarizing the Partnership's risk management portfolio as of August 1, 2014 is included in this release.

Operating Results

Gathered volumes for the three months ended June 30, 2014 were approximately 1.6 BCFD and processed volumes were approximately 1.5 BCFD, an increase of over 12% and 20%, respectively, compared to the Partnership's second quarter 2013 reported results.  Growth capital spending, including contributions to joint ventures, was $146.4 million during the second quarter of 2014, as organic expansion projects continue across all gathering and processing systems, including the processing plant expansions in SouthOK (120 MMCFD Stonewall plant), SouthTX (200 MMCFD Silver Oak II plant), and WestTX (200 MMCFD Edward plant in the southern portion and 200 MMCFD Buffalo plant in the northern portion of the Permian Basin).  In addition, construction continues on multiple gathering pipeline projects, including the pipeline connecting the Velma and Arkoma portions of the SouthOK system.

Gross margin from operations was $136.8 million for the second quarter 2014, compared to $108.7 million for the prior year period, a result of increasing producer activity in APL's areas of operations and the start-up of the Stonewall plant in May 2014.  Gross margin, a non-GAAP financial measure, includes natural gas and liquids sales, and transportation, processing and other fees, less purchased product costs and non-cash gains (or losses) included in these items.  The higher gross margin for the quarter was primarily due to the increased volumes and expansions that have been completed on the SouthOK, WestOK and WestTX systems.  The gross margin for the quarter does not include approximately $6.6 million of realized derivative settlement losses, which are excluded in the calculation of gross margin, compared to $2.8 million realized derivative settlement gains excluded from gross margin in the second quarter of 2013.  

WestTX System

The WestTX system's average natural gas processed volume was 439.4 MMCFD for the second quarter of 2014, compared to 313.5 MMCFD for the second quarter of 2013, an increase of 40% over the past year.  Increased processed volumes are primarily due to continued significant drilling activity in the Permian Basin.  The completion of the Driver Plant in April 2013 increased processing capacity on the WestTX system to 455 MMCFD, supporting the increased gathered volumes.  Average natural gas liquids (NGL) production was 56,165 barrels per day ("BPD") for the second quarter of 2014, a 41% increase over the second quarter of 2013 with the entire system utilizing 97% of its available processing capacity for the quarter.  This system continues to operate in partial ethane rejection due to the value of ethane compared to the value of residue natural gas.  

Pioneer Natural Resources, Inc. ("Pioneer"), a 27.2% partner in the WestTX system, continues to be the largest producer on this system and the contract between APL and Pioneer was recently extended 10 additional years through 2032 and includes additional acreage dedicated from Pioneer. The Partnership expects processed volumes on this system to continue to increase through 2014 and beyond as Pioneer, and the Partnership's many other producer customers, continue to pursue their drilling plans over the coming years in the Permian Basin.  The previously announced 200 MMCFD Edward plant is expected to be complete in September of 2014 and the previously announced new Buffalo plant, an incremental 200 MMCFD cryogenic processing plant to be located in the northern part of the system, is expected to be complete in the second half of 2015.  These two plants will serve the increasing activity in the Permian Basin and will be fully integrated with APL's WestTX gathering and processing system, increasing the processing capacity in the Permian Basin to 855 MMCFD in 2015.  Management currently expects to install a new 200 MMCFD cryogenic processing facility in each of the next five years, along with all necessary infrastructure, in support of the current production plans of the Partnership's producer customers in this area.               

WestOK System

The WestOK system had average natural gas processed volume of 530.5 MMCFD for the second quarter of 2014, a 10% increase from the second quarter of 2013.  Average NGL production was 23,678 BPD for the second quarter of 2014, a 7% increase from the second quarter of 2013, due to the continued increased production on the gathering system. 

Activity continues to be strong by APL's producer customers, with Atlas Pipeline continuing to connect over a well per day in the Mississippi Lime over the past quarter.  During the second quarter, a contract change was implemented with APL's largest customer at WestOK, SandRidge Energy, Inc. ("SandRidge"). The contract transfers all existing volumes that were under SandRidge's previous Keep-Whole contract to the current Percent-of-Proceeds ("POP") contract.  As a result, APL's exposure to Keep-Whole contracts has been reduced to an insignificant portion of its overall contract mix.  Included in the contract change was an additional acreage dedication, and, today APL has dedication of a significant portion of the 1.9 million acres SandRidge has in the core of the Mississippi Lime under this long-term POP contract.  The Partnership continues to add capital projects to this area to accommodate growing development from SandRidge and others, including (i) adding compression, (ii) looping gathering lines, and (iii) adding off-load capabilities to third party processors.  The Partnership continues to evaluate the need for further processing capacity in this area.    

SouthOK System

The SouthOK system's average natural gas processed volume was 408.6 MMCFD for the second quarter 2014, a 22% increase from second quarter 2013.  The increase in processed volumes is primarily due to the start-up of the previously announced Stonewall plant, which increased processing capacity by 120 MMCFD.  Average NGL production was 29,344 BPD for the second quarter 2014, a decrease of approximately 30% compared to the second quarter 2013.  The Partnership has made operational improvements in 2014 that have increased the overall margin received per thousand cubic feet (MCF) of rich gas that is gathered and processed on this system.  These improvements result in additional ethane rejection, which reduces the amount of barrels of NGLs produced, however enhances profit.  

The Stonewall plant, a new cryogenic processing facility, was brought into operation on May 1, 2014 and is now fully operational.  This plant was constructed under the Centrahoma joint venture, which is a joint venture with MarkWest Energy Partners of which APL owns 60%.  The Partnership plans to accelerate the timeframe of the scheduled 80 MMCFD expansion at this plant, due to the increased activity in Southern Oklahoma, including production from the Woodford Shale, SCOOP, Arkoma and Ardmore Basins.  This expansion will allow the facility to operate at its name-plate 200 MMCFD capacity and bring total gross processing capacity on the SouthOK system to 580 MMCFD by the end of 2014.  Additionally, construction is continuing on the project to connect the Velma and Arkoma portions of the SouthOK system, which is expected be complete in September 2014. 

SouthTX System

The SouthTX system recognized revenues on average natural gas processed volumes of 124.5 MMCFD for the second quarter 2014, including volumes processed under midstream sharing agreements.  Under certain existing contractual agreements, APL receives a share of the economic interest from certain volumes currently processed by a third party midstream provider, as well as shares certain economic interests on volumes processed internally with a third party midstream provider.  The volumes reported do not include any deficiencies under minimum volume commitments with producers during the period.

APL continues to make commercial progress in the SouthTX area and has connected newly acquired gas from two prominent operators in the Eagle Ford during the second quarter as previously expected.  The first connection was in mid-May and the second connection was completed at the end of June.  As a result, actual physical volumes processed by APL during the second quarter 2014 increased approximately 22% compared to first quarter 2014, and preliminary estimates for the month of July have indicated actual physical processed volume were approximately 143.5 MMCFD, which is a 25% increase over second quarter average physical processed volume.  The new, 200 MMCFD processing facility, Silver Oak II, recently came on-line and is expected to provide incremental processing capacity for the remainder of 2014 and beyond. 

Corporate and Other

General and administrative costs, excluding non-cash compensation, for the second quarter of 2014 totaled $12.0 million, compared to $9.1 million in the same period in 2013.  The increase in G&A is related to the continued expansion of the business, including in South Texas.  Net of deferred financing costs, interest expense was $21.2 million for the second quarter of 2014, as compared to $20.8 million in the second quarter of 2013.

(1)  EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow are non-GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) financial measures under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Management of the Partnership believes EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow provide additional information for evaluating the Partnership's ability to make distributions to its common unit holders and the general partner, among other things.  These measures are widely-used by commercial banks, investment bankers, rating agencies and investors in evaluating performance relative to peers and pre-set performance standards.  Adjusted EBITDA is also similar to the Consolidated EBITDA calculation utilized for the Partnership's financial covenants under its credit facility, with the exception that Adjusted EBITDA includes some non-cash items specifically excluded under the credit facility. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow are not measures of financial performance under GAAP and, accordingly, should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income, operating income, or cash flows from operating activities in accordance with GAAP.

(2)  Represents Anadarko Petroleum Corporation's ("Anadarko" – NYSE: APC) non-controlling interest in the operating results of Atlas Pipeline Mid-Continent WestOk, LLC ("WestOK") and Atlas Pipeline Mid-Continent WestTex, LLC ("WestTX"); and MarkWest's non-controlling interest in Centrahoma.

(3)  Represents the depreciation, amortization and interest expense included in income attributable to non-controlling interest for MarkWest's interest in Centrahoma.

(4)  Includes the non-cash impact of commodity price movements on pipeline linefill inventory, non-cash compensation and minimum volume adjustments on certain producer throughput contracts.

(5)  Net of non-controlling interest maintenance capital of $150 thousand and $135 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $342 thousand and $176 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
