Crestwood Equity Announces First Quarter 2014
Financial and Operating Results
Conference call with management to be held today at 8:00 a.m. Central Time
HOUSTON, TEXAS, May 6, 2014 – Crestwood Equity Partners LP (NYSE: CEQP) (“Crestwood Equity” or “CEQP”) reported today its financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2014.
Crestwood Equity owns the general partner interest of Crestwood Midstream Partners LP (NYSE: CMLP) (“Crestwood Midstream” or “CMLP”). Crestwood Midstream owns the majority of the assets of the consolidated results herein. Crestwood Equity directly owns a proprietary NGL supply and logistics business and the Tres Palacios gas storage facility. Crestwood Midstream today issued a separate news release reporting stand-alone results for its operations.
“We continue to be pleased with the quarter-to-quarter improvement of the growth platform we created through the combination of the Crestwood and Inergy partnerships in the fourth quarter of 2013,” stated Robert G. Phillips, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Crestwood’s general partner. “The new Crestwood has begun executing its crude and liquids-focused strategy in premier shale plays across the United States, including the Marcellus/Utica, Bakken, Powder River Basin Niobrara and the Delaware Permian plays. These areas have tremendous long-term growth potential, which we are developing with our reliable operating teams, disciplined project execution, dedicated customer service and accretive bolt-on acquisitions. Our combined services span the midstream value chain in each of these regions and, consistent with our stated plan of unlocking value from the large opportunity set created by the Crestwood-Inergy combination last year, we continue to identify and pursue a substantial portfolio of ongoing projects that we believe will provide sustainable long-term growth for both CMLP and CEQP unitholders,” stated Phillips.
First Quarter 2014 Financial Highlights (1) (2)
| • | Crestwood Equity reported adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and accretion (“Adjusted EBITDA”) for the first quarter 2014 of $116.6 million, a 5% increase from Adjusted EBITDA of $110.6 million in the fourth quarter 2013. Adjusted EBITDA attributable to assets owned by CMLP totaled $98.9 for the first quarter 2014, $8.0 million higher than fourth quarter 2013. Adjusted EBITDA attributable to assets owned by CEQP totaled $17.7 million for the first quarter 2014, $2.0 million lower than fourth quarter 2013. |
| • | Crestwood Equity reported distributable cash flow attributable to its operations of $19.7 million for the first quarter 2014, compared to $24.3 million in the fourth quarter 2013. The decrease was primarily due to lower Adjusted EBITDA and increased maintenance capital spending attributable to CEQP assets. |
| (1) | Given the accounting treatment of Crestwood Holdings’ acquisition of Crestwood Equity’s general partner in June 2013, Crestwood Equity has, where appropriate, compared first quarter 2014 financial and operating results to fourth quarter 2013 results for purposes of providing more meaningful disclosure to investors. |
| (2) | Adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow are non-GAAP measures. Please refer to the financial tables accompanying this release for reconciliation to GAAP. |

| • | Crestwood Equity reported net income for the first quarter 2014 of $13.2 million, compared to a net loss of $42.1 million in the fourth quarter 2013. First quarter 2014 results included $6.5 million of significant transaction-related expenses due primarily to the Arrow acquisition and the Crestwood-Inergy merger in the fourth quarter of 2013, and a $2.1 million non-cash accrual related to an earn-out premium associated with the acquisition of the Marcellus gathering system from Antero Resources (“Antero”) in 2012. |
“Crestwood Equity’s NGL business and Gulf Coast storage operation performed largely in-line with our expectations,” stated Phillips. “Our NGL supply and logistics business continued to operate at high levels and on-par with the fourth quarter 2013. Both periods benefited from strong wholesale demand for propane due to significantly colder weather and supply disruptions on third-party facilities in the Northeast, and our West Coast NGL processing assets experienced higher seasonal demand for butane and natural gasoline. Additionally, Tres Palacios, our Gulf Coast storage facility, performed in-line with our expectations for the first quarter due to realization of lower expenses and a modest increase in optimization revenues driven by colder weather conditions in Texas. However, overall market demand at Tres Palacios remained weak as we continued to operate under our weather-the-storm strategy.”
First Quarter 2014 Financial and Operating Results
Gathering and processing segment EBITDA totaled $48.2 million in the first quarter 2014, compared with $47.5 million in the fourth quarter 2013, excluding the impact of the non-cash accrual for the Antero earn-out. Gathering volumes increased 4% to 1,129 million cubic feet per day (“MMcf/d”) in the first quarter 2014. The increase in gathering volumes was largely due to a 15% increase in the Marcellus Shale, offset by a 5% decrease in the Barnett Shale, which typically receive a higher service fee than comparable Marcellus gathering services. All of the assets included in the gathering and processing segment are owned by CMLP.
Storage and transportation segment EBITDA totaled $38.0 million, during the first quarter 2014, a 4% increase from EBITDA of $36.7 million in the fourth quarter 2013. Segment EBITDA attributable to assets owned by CMLP totaled $36.8 million during the first quarter, compared with $33.6 million during the fourth quarter 2013. The improved performance of the assets owned by CMLP was due to increased interruptible revenues resulting from higher market prices, increased volatility and wider basis spreads attributable to the sustained colder weather throughout the Northeast in the first quarter. Segment EBITDA attributable to assets owned by CEQP totaled $1.2 million during the first quarter, compared with $3.1 million during the fourth quarter 2013.
NGL and crude services segment EBITDA, excluding non-cash gains in fair value on derivative contracts, totaled $45.0 million during the first quarter 2014, a 16% increase from EBITDA of $38.7 million in the fourth quarter 2013. Segment EBITDA attributable to assets owned by CMLP totaled $26.3 million during the first quarter, compared with $20.7 million during the fourth quarter 2013. The increase in EBITDA of CMLP owned assets was primarily attributable to the full quarter contribution from the Arrow assets acquired in November 2013 and increased volumes loaded at the COLT Hub. The increase in EBITDA of CEQP owned assets was primarily due to higher margins on NGLs volumes marketed as a result of significantly colder than normal temperatures across the U.S. as measured by heating degree
2
days and supply disruptions on third-party facilities in the Northeast. Segment EBITDA attributable to assets owned by CEQP totaled $18.7 million during the first quarter, compared with $18.0 million during the fourth quarter 2013.
Corporate expenses include operating and administrative expenses not allocated to the operating segments above. Corporate expenses attributable to CMLP and CEQP totaled $24.1 million and $3.7 million, respectively, during the first quarter 2014, compared with $36.7 million and $3.9 million, respectively, during the fourth quarter 2013. First quarter 2014 results included $6.5 million of significant transaction-related expenses and $5.4 million of non-cash compensation expense, compared to $17.8 million and $9.8 million, respectively, during the fourth quarter 2013.
Project Update and 2014 Business Outlook
The information provided below relates to operating assets owned directly by CEQP. Additional information on project updates and business outlook related to CMLP’s operating assets is included in a separate news release issued today by CMLP.
NGL Supply & Logistics
Crestwood continues to benefit from its nation-wide NGL supply and logistics operations. During both the first quarter 2014 and fourth quarter 2013, Crestwood captured incremental demand and margin opportunities by providing customers with critical supply during this unusually cold, high demand winter period.
Given our expectation that NGL production volumes from the Marcellus/Utica plays and NGL export volumes from East Coast terminals will continue to increase over the next several years, we are pursuing additional pipeline capacity and storage rights that will enable us to capitalize on these trends and offer greater marketing capabilities and flow assurances to our customers. We also remain focused on developing infrastructure, ranging from the Finger Lakes storage development project to new trans-loading terminals, that will help to relieve the supply delivery constraints plaguing the Northeast today and which unnecessarily caused consumers to pay record prices in the New York, New England and Mid-Atlantic markets this winter.
Gulf Coast Storage
As a result of reduced market demand for underground storage of natural gas along the Gulf Coast, we filed an application with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (“FERC”) in December 2013 requesting authorization to reduce the certificated capacity at our Tres Palacios natural gas storage facility by up to 60% (potentially reducing its working gas capacity to as low as 15.5 billion cubic feet). If approved, the reduction of certificated capacity would reduce our storage lease expense by approximately $6 million to $7 million annually. We remain optimistic that the FERC will grant our abandonment request.
Additionally, we filed with tax appraisal districts in Texas for a reduction of property taxes based on estimated market values of our Tres Palacios storage asset. The impact of the property tax reductions is approximately $4.0 million annually and is currently reflected in Crestwood Equity’s earnings. We continue to evaluate requests for NGL storage opportunities at Tres Palacios as well as positioning the asset to capitalize on increasing future natural gas demand in the Gulf Coast and Mexico.

Liquidity and Capital Spending
At March 31, 2014, debt outstanding was composed of $1,461 million of fixed-rate senior notes issued primarily by Crestwood Midstream, approximately $532 million outstanding under Crestwood Midstream’s revolving credit facility and $388 million outstanding under Crestwood Equity’s revolving credit facility.
Organic growth capital expenditures and joint venture contributions for the three months ended March 31, 2014, totaled approximately $77.4 million, of which $76.0 million was attributable to CMLP. The majority of capital spending was related to construction of pipeline laterals and compression equipment in the Marcellus Shale, expansion of the COLT Hub and Arrow gathering system in the Bakken Shale, and capital contributions to Jackalope Gas Gathering for construction of the Bucking Horse processing facility in the PRB Niobrara.

In addition, Adjusted EBITDA considers the adjusted earnings impact of our unconsolidated affiliates by adjusting our equity earnings or losses from our unconsolidated affiliates for our proportionate share of their depreciation and interest, the impact of certain significant items, such as non-cash equity compensation expenses, gains and impairments of long-lived assets and goodwill, third party costs incurred related to potential and completed acquisitions, loss on contingent consideration, and other transactions identified in a specific reporting period. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not measures calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), as they do not include deductions for items such as depreciation, amortization and accretion, interest and income taxes, which are necessary to maintain our business. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered an alternative to net income, operating cash flow or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA calculations may vary among entities, so our computation may not be comparable to measures used by other companies. |
| (b) | Cash interest expense less amortization of deferred financing costs plus bond premium amortization plus or minus fair value adjustment of interest rate swaps. |
| (c) | Maintenance capital expenditures are defined as those capital expenditures which do not increase operating capacity or revenues from existing levels. |
| (d) | Crestwood Midstream distributable cash flow less incentive distributions paid to the general partner and the public LP ownership interest in Crestwood Midstream. |
| (e) | Distributable cash flow is defined as Adjusted EBITDA, less cash interest expense, maintenance capital expenditures, income taxes, deficiency payments (primarily related to deferred revenue), and public Crestwood Midstream LP unitholders interest in CMLP distributable cash flow. Distributable cash flow should not be considered an alternative to cash flows from operating activities or any other measure of financial performance calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles as those items are used to measure operating performance, liquidity, or the ability to service debt obligations. We believe that distributable cash flow provides additional information for evaluating our ability to declare and pay distributions to unitholders. Distributable cash flow, as we define it, may not be comparable to distributable cash flow or similarly titled measures used by other corporations and partnerships. |
