HOUSTON, Feb. 27, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Today Western Midstream Partners, LP WES ("WES" or the "Partnership") announced fourth-quarter and full-year 2019 financial and operating results. Net income (loss) available to limited partners for the fourth quarter of 2019 totaled $282.1 million, or $0.62 per common unit (diluted), with fourth-quarter 2019 Adjusted EBITDA(1) totaling $447.6 million and fourth-quarter 2019 Distributable cash flow(1) totaling $345.4 million. Net income (loss) available to limited partners for 2019 totaled $662.3 million, or $1.59 per common unit (diluted), with full-year 2019 Adjusted EBITDA(1) of $1.719 billion and full-year 2019 Distributable cash flow(1) of $1.325 billion. Financial and operational results are presented as if WES owned the assets acquired in February 2019 for all periods reported.

RECENT HIGHLIGHTS

  • Processed record DJ Basin Complex gas throughput of 1.30 Bcf/d for the fourth quarter, representing a 15-percent sequential-quarter increase as third-quarter downstream constraints were resolved and did not impact fourth-quarter operations
  • Gathered record Delaware Basin produced-water throughput of 610 MBbls/d for the fourth quarter, representing a 5-percent sequential-quarter increase
  • Achieved record Delaware and DJ Basin oil throughput of 297 MBbls/d for the fourth quarter, representing an 8-percent sequential-quarter increase
  • Delivered full-year 2019 Adjusted EBITDA(1) of $1.719 billion, representing a 17-percent increase from 2018
  • Realized capital expenditures below low-end 2019 guidance range
  • Finalized service and governance agreements with Occidental that will position WES to operate as a stand-alone enterprise
  • Priced a $3.5 billion four-tranche senior notes offering that was 6.2x oversubscribed with each tranche pricing at WES's lowest historical coupon for like-tenor notes

For the fourth quarter of 2019, WES paid a per-unit quarterly distribution of $0.6220. The full-year 2019 per-unit distribution of $2.47 represents a more than 5-percent increase over the full-year 2018 per-unit distribution of $2.35. This marks WES's 28th consecutive quarterly distribution increase and achieves WES's 2019 annual distribution-growth guidance range of 5 percent to 6 percent. The fourth-quarter 2019 Coverage ratio(1) was 1.23 times. The full-year 2019 Coverage ratio(1) was 1.18 times.

"I'm pleased with our fourth-quarter results," said Chief Executive Officer, Michael Ure. "In 2019, we placed the first Latham train and the second Mentone train into service; grew Adjusted EBITDA 17-percent year-over-year as a result of increased throughput across all products; and entered into new service, operating, and governing agreements at year end that enable us to operate more fully as an independent midstream company. This was a productive and successful year for WES, and we are ideally positioned to deliver strong results in 2020."

Fourth-quarter 2019 total natural-gas throughput(2) averaged 4.3 Bcf/d, representing a 3-percent sequential-quarter increase and an 8-percent increase from fourth-quarter 2018. Fourth-quarter 2019 total throughput for crude-oil, NGLs, and produced-water assets(2) averaged 1,378 MBbls/d, representing a 16-percent sequential-quarter increase and a 38-percent increase from fourth-quarter 2018. Full-year 2019 total natural-gas throughput(2) averaged 4.2 Bcf/d, representing a 9-percent increase from full-year 2018. Full-year 2019 total throughput for crude-oil, NGLs, and produced-water assets(2) averaged 1,195 MBbls/d, representing a 57-percent increase from full-year 2018.

Fourth-quarter 2019 capital expenditures(1), including equity investments and excluding capitalized interest, totaled $242.6 million, with cash maintenance capital expenditures totaling $29.6 million. For full-year 2019, capital expenditures(1), including equity investments(2) and excluding capitalized interest, totaled $1.249 billion, which is approximately $100 million below the 2019 guidance midpoint of $1.35 billion. For full-year 2019, cash maintenance capital expenditures totaled $124.4 million, which is approximately $11 million below the 2019 guidance midpoint of $135 million.

2020 GUIDANCE

  • Adjusted EBITDA between $1.875 billion and $1.975 billion
  • Total capital expenditures between $875 million and $950 million, including costs associated with over 60,000 horsepower of compression, over 140 miles of gathering, the completion of the second Latham train during first-quarter 2020, and the addition of two 30 MBbl/d oil-stabilization trains and approximately 180 MBbl/d of saltwater disposal capacity in the Delaware Basin by year-end 2020
  • Total maintenance capital expenditures between $125 million and $135 million
  • Coverage ratio of at least 1.25x with ~1-percent year-over-year distribution increase from full-year 2019 per-unit distributions of $2.47 per unit

"Our 2020 guidance demonstrates our continued focus on capital-efficient organic growth and the strength of our balance sheet," said Chief Financial Officer, Mike Pearl. "We are focused on generating long-term value for all our stakeholders by maintaining our investment-grade credit profile, delivering exceptional customer service, and driving operational efficiencies throughout the organization."

RECONCILIATION OF GAAP TO NON-GAAP MEASURES

Below are reconciliations of (i) net income (loss) (GAAP) to WES's Distributable cash flow (non-GAAP), (ii) net income (loss) (GAAP) and net cash provided by operating activities (GAAP) to Adjusted EBITDA attributable to Western Midstream Partners, LP ("Adjusted EBITDA") (non-GAAP), and (iii) operating income (loss) (GAAP) to Adjusted gross margin attributable to Western Midstream Partners, LP ("Adjusted gross margin") (non-GAAP), as required under Regulation G of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Management believes that WES's Distributable cash flow, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted gross margin, and Coverage ratio are widely accepted financial indicators of WES's financial performance compared to other publicly traded partnerships and are useful in assessing WES's ability to incur and service debt, fund capital expenditures, and make distributions. Distributable cash flow, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted gross margin, and Coverage ratio, as defined by WES, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Therefore, WES's Distributable cash flow, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted gross margin, and Coverage ratio should be considered in conjunction with net income (loss) attributable to Western Midstream Partners, LP and other applicable performance measures, such as operating income (loss) or cash flows from operating activities.

WES defines "Distributable cash flow" as Adjusted EBITDA, plus interest income and the net settlement amounts from the sale and/or purchase of natural gas, condensate, and NGLs under WES Operating's commodity-price swap agreements to the extent such amounts are not recognized as Adjusted EBITDA, less Service revenues – fee based recognized in Adjusted EBITDA in excess of (less than) customer billings, net cash paid (or to be paid) for interest expense (including amortization of deferred debt issuance costs originally paid in cash and offset by non-cash capitalized interest), maintenance capital expenditures, WES Operating Series A Preferred unit distributions, income taxes, and Distributable cash flow attributable to noncontrolling interests to the extent such amounts are not excluded from Adjusted EBITDA.

WES defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss), plus distributions from equity investments, non-cash equity-based compensation expense, interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, impairments, and other expense (including lower of cost or market inventory adjustments recorded in cost of product), less gain (loss) on divestiture and other, net, income from equity investments, interest income, income tax benefit, other income, and the noncontrolling interests owners' proportionate share of revenues and expenses.

WES defines Adjusted gross margin as total revenues and other (less reimbursements for electricity-related expenses recorded as revenue), less cost of product, plus distributions from equity investments, and excluding the noncontrolling interests owners' proportionate share of revenues and cost of product.
