StoneMor Partners L.P. Announces First Quarter 2014 Financial Results
LEVITTOWN, Pa., May 8, 2014StoneMor Partners L.P. (NYSE: STON) (StoneMor) announced its results from operations for the three months ended March 31, 2014. Investors are encouraged to read the Companys quarterly report on Form 10-Q to be filed with the SEC, which contains additional details, as well as financial tables, and can be found at www.stonemor.com.
Commenting on the quarter, Larry Miller, StoneMors President and CEO said, Despite a very harsh winter, StoneMor continues to successfully execute its business plan. While our pre-need sales were impacted by the severe weather we experienced between January and March, we generated increases in both our GAAP revenue and production based revenue (non-GAAP) during the period. At the same time we saw strong increases in both operating profits and adjusted operating profits (non-GAAP ) while generating a solid increase in distributable free cash flow. Lastly, we also generated stronger than usual returns from our trust fund investments.
Financial Highlights
| Revenues (GAAP) for the three months ended March 31, 2014 were $64.4 million versus $59.6 million in prior year period, an 8.0% increase. |
| Production-based revenue (non-GAAP) for the three months ended March 31, 2014 increased by $5.5 million, or 6.9%, to $85.7 million from $80.2 million during the prior-year period. |
| Operating profits (GAAP) increased by $3.9 million to $5.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, as compared to the $1.4 million in the prior-year period. |
| Adjusted operating profits (non-GAAP) increased by $4.3 million, or 24.3%, to $22.0 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2014 from $17.7 million in the same period last year. |
| Distributable free cash flow (non-GAAP) for the three-month period ended March 31, 2014 increased to $22.1 million from $17.6 million in the same period last year, a 25.6% increase. |
| Net cash used in operations was $2.9 million in the 2014 first quarter versus $6.9 million provided by operations in the prior year period, a decline of $9.8 million. The decline was primarily the result of changes in the timing of accounts payable and accrued liabilities plus an increase in the flow of funds into the merchandise trust. |
| Backlog increased $16.8 million during the period ended March 31, 2014 to $497.7 million from $480.9 million at the end of December 31, 2013, and $61.0 million compared to the prior year period. |
| Cash, accounts receivable and merchandise trusts, net of merchandise liabilities reached $462.6 million at the end of March 31, 2014. |
| Net income (GAAP) for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was approximately $0.4 million, as compared to net loss of $2.2 million in the prior-year period. |
The Company reports its financial results in accordance with U.S. GAAP. However, management believes that certain non-GAAP financial measures used in managing the business may provide investors with additional information regarding underlying trends and ongoing results on a comparable basis. Specifically, management believes that production-based revenues and adjusted operating profit allow the investor to gain insight into the current operating performance of the Company. Please see the section of this press release Non-GAAP Financial Measures to view the reconciliation. Non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company should not be considered as alternatives to GAAP financial measures, and you should not consider such non-GAAP financial measures in isolation or as a substitute for an analysis of the Companys results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Certain 2013 information has been adjusted to include the effects of retrospective adjustments resulting from the Companys 2013 first quarter acquisition.
We continued to expand our business with the announcement that we were the successful bidder to acquire a substantial number of funeral homes and cemeteries that were made available as a result of the acquisition of Stewart Enterprises, Inc. by Service Corporation International (NYSE:SCI), said Miller. We have since signed definitive agreements to acquire these properties. While the transaction is subject to closing conditions, including FTC approval, as we previously reported, we expect them to be immediately accretive and we look forward to their future contributions.
Earlier in the quarter we strengthened our balance sheet by paying down borrowings on our credit facility with the proceeds of a unit offering. We continue to grow our backlog while improving the liquidity provided by our aggregate cash, accounts receivable and merchandise trust value less merchandise liabilities, which reached $462.6 million at the end of March 31, 2014. All in all, we believe it was a solid quarter and a good start to 2014.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Production Based Revenue
We present production based revenue because management believes it provides for a useful measure of both the value of contracts written and investment and other income generated during a given period and is a critical component of adjusted operating profit.
Production based revenue is a non-GAAP financial measure that may not be consistent with other similar non-GAAP financial measures presented by other publicly traded companies.
Adjusted Operating Profit
We present Adjusted Operating Profit because management believes it provides for a useful measure of economic value added by presenting an effective matching of the value of current and future revenue sources generated within a given period to the cost of producing such revenue and managing our day to day operations within that same period. It is a significant measure that we believe is an indicator of eventual profit generated within a given period of time.
Adjusted Operating Profit is a non-GAAP financial measure that may not be consistent with other similar non-GAAP financial measures presented by other publicly traded companies.
Adjusted Operating Cash Generated
We present adjusted operating cash generated revenue because management believes it provides for a useful measure of the amount of cash generated that is available to make capital expenditures and partner distributions once all cash flow timing issues have been settled.
Adjusted operating cash generated is a non-GAAP financial measure that may not be consistent with other similar non-GAAP financial measures presented by other publicly traded companies.
Distributable Free Cash Flow
We present Distributable Free Cash Flow because management believes this information is a useful adjunct to Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Operating Activities under GAAP. Distributable Free Cash Flow is a significant liquidity metric that we believe is an indicator of our ability to generate cash flow during any quarter at a level sufficient to pay the quarterly distribution to the holders of our common units and for other purposes, such as repaying debt and expanding through strategic investments.
Distributable Free Cash Flow is similar to quantitative standards of free cash flow used throughout the deathcare industry and to quantitative standards of distributable cash flow used throughout the investment community with respect to publicly traded partnerships, but is not intended to be a prediction of the future. However, our calculation of distributable free cash flow may not be consistent with calculations of free cash flow, distributable cash flow or other similarly titled measures of other companies. Distributable Free Cash Flow should not be used as a substitute for the GAAP measure of cash flows from operating, investing, or financing activities.
Production Based Partners Capital
We present production based partners capital as a means to provide better insight into the value that our activities contribute to the enterprise. Because a portion of our revenues and direct selling expenses are captured on our balance sheet until we deliver the underlying goods or services, we believe that by including these items in our view of partners capital, we gain better insight into the value creation.
Backlog
We define backlog as deferred cemetery revenues and investment income less deferred selling and obtaining costs. It does not include deferred unrealized gains and losses on merchandise trust assets.

(a) | This is a measure of the ratio of selected net assets to a quarterly distribution amount. The quarterly distribution amount is calculated by taking the end of the period outstanding common units (23,696,975 at March 31, 2014 and 21,377,102 at December 31, 2013, respectively) and multiplying these units by the declared distribution. This total is then added to the distribution due to the General Partner based upon the same variables. |
