Cypress Energy Partners, L.P. Announces Second Quarter Results and Filing of Form 10-Q

TULSA, Oklahoma.—(BUSINESS WIRE)—August 14, 2014

Cypress Energy Partners, L.P. (NYSE:CELP) today reported:

Adjusted EBITDA – Increased 14% over Q1

Net Income – Increased 40% over Q1

Coverage Ratio – Increased 21% over Q1 to 1.09X

Cash Distribution – Increased 2.4% over MQD

Peter C. Boylan III, CELP’s chairman, president and chief executive officer stated, “We are pleased with our continued performance in our two operating segments and the 14% quarter over quarter Adjusted EBITDA growth. CELP delivered improved second quarter results bolstered by higher Water & Environmental Services segment volumes coupled with lower operating costs, offset somewhat by lower inspector headcounts in our Pipeline Inspections and Integrity Services segment as the anticipated annual project transitions slid from the first to the second quarter.”

Mr. Boylan continued, “We are also pleased with our sequential volume and revenue growth that has continued in July. We have secured several new inspection clients during the quarter that should represent some promising new growth prospects in future periods. We also continued to make progress strengthening our TIR business development team with several new hires that will enable us to continue to pursue additional organic growth opportunities.”

In conclusion, Mr. Boylan commented, “We ended the second quarter with some solid momentum and we announced our first increase in distributions per unit consistent with our long term stated objective of thoughtfully growing cash flow distributions per unit. We continue to evaluate a number of interesting acquisition opportunities including but not limited to the remaining 49.9% of TIR not currently owned by CELP. We continue to operate with a strong balance sheet and credit facility to support our growth. Underlying market dynamics are solid and overall demand for our services remains strong.”

Second Quarter:

 

    Revenue of $93.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014.

 

    Declared cash distribution of $4.7 million or $0.396844 per unit for the three months ended June 30, 2014, a 2.41% increase over the minimum quarterly distribution of $0.3875.

 

    Distributable cash flow of $5.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014.

 

    Adjusted EBITDA of $7.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 (including non-controlling interests), compared to our predecessor’s Adjusted EBITDA of $2.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013, a 174% increase.

 

    Adjusted EBITDA attributable to Cypress Energy Partners, L.P. of $5.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014.

 

    Net income of $4.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, compared to our predecessor’s net income of $1.6 million (excluding an $11.2 million non-recurring gain) for the three months ended June 30, 2013, a 206% increase.

 

    Net income attributable to Cypress Energy Partners, L.P. of $3.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014.

 

    A coverage ratio of 1.09X vs. .90X in Q1 2014.


Year To Date:

 

    Revenue of $191.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014.

 

    Distributable cash flow of $8.3 million for the period from January 21, 2014 through June 30, 2014.

 

    Adjusted EBITDA of $13.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 (including non-controlling interests and periods prior to the IPO), compared to our predecessor’s Adjusted EBITDA of $5.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013, a 140% increase.

 

    Adjusted EBITDA attributable to Cypress Energy Partners, L.P. of $8.5 million for the period from January 21, 2014 through June 30, 2014.

 

    Net income of $8.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to our predecessor’s net income of $3.8 million (excluding an $11.2 million contingent consideration reversal) for the six months ended June 30, 2013, a 121% increase.

 

    Net income attributable to Cypress Energy Partners, L.P. of $5.8 million for the period from January 21, 2014 through June 30, 2014.

Highlights include:

 

    We averaged 1,434 inspectors per week for the second quarter of 2014, compared to 1,303 inspectors per week for the second quarter of 2013, representing a 10% increase. We were engaged by several new customers in the second quarter of 2014 who will utilize our services on new projects.

 

    We disposed 4.7 million barrels of saltwater at an average revenue per barrel of $1.27 for the second quarter of 2014, compared to disposing 4.8 million barrels of saltwater at an average revenue per barrel of $1.06 for the second quarter of 2013 despite increased competition in several locations.

 

    Our leverage ratio as calculated under our credit facility is 0.79x, reflecting a strong balance sheet-with ample available cash and substantial availability.

 

    Maintenance capital expenditures for the three months ended June 30, 2014 were $66 thousand reflecting the limited capital expenditures required to operate our businesses.

 

    We remain focused on reviewing potential acquisition opportunities in both of our segments and other areas covered under our private letter ruling.

 

    A combination of organic growth and new acquisition opportunities including any future partial or full drop down of the remaining 49.9% of Tulsa Inspection Resources, LLC (“TIR”) not currently owned by the Partnership will continue to enhance our growth in distributable cash flow.

Looking forward:

 

    Our goal is a 10% annualized increase in cash distributions per unit over the long term driven by a combination of organic growth and acquisitions from unaffiliated third parties and affiliates, including potentially a drop down of the remaining 49.9% of TIR. Our 2.4% increase this quarter reflects the same and was not contemplated in our S-1 filing.

 

    For the full 2014 year, we expect to spend less than an aggregate of $1.0 million on maintenance capital expenditures and expansion capital expenditures.

CELP also announced that it has filed its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for its fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2014 with the Securities and Exchange Commission. CELP has posted a copy of the Form 10-Q on its website at www.cypressenergy.com.

CELP will host an earnings call on Thursday, August 14, 2014, at 5:00pm EST (4:00pm CST) to discuss its second quarter 2014 financial results. Analysts, investors, and other interested parties may access the conference call by dialing Toll-Free (US & Canada): (888) 428-7458 or International Dial-In (Toll): (862) 255-5400. An archived audio replay of the call will be available on the investor section of our website at www.cypressenergy.com beginning at 5:00pm EST (4:00pm CST) on August 15, 2014.


CELP defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income, plus interest expense, depreciation and amortization expenses, income tax expenses and offering costs; less gain on reversal of contingent consideration. CELP defines Distributable Cash Flow as Adjusted EBITDA excluding cash interest paid, cash income taxes paid and maintenance capital expenditures. Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow should not be considered an alternative to net income, income before income taxes, cash flows from operating activities, or any other measure of financial performance calculated in accordance with GAAP as those items are used to measure operating performance, liquidity or the ability to service debt obligations. CELP believes that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA will provide useful information to investors in assessing our financial condition and results of operations. CELP uses Distributable Cash Flow as a supplemental financial measure to assess the cash flows generated by our assets (prior to the establishment of any retained cash reserves by the general partner) to fund the cash distributions we expect to pay to unitholders, to evaluate our success in providing a cash return on investment and whether or not the Partnership is generating cash flow at a level that can sustain or support an increase in its quarterly distribution rates and to determine the yield of our units, which is a quantitative standard used through the investment community with respect to publicly-traded partnerships as the value of a unit is generally determined by a unit’s yield (which in turn is based on the amount of cash distributions the entity pays to a unitholder). Because adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow may be defined differently by other companies in our industry our definitions of Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow may not be comparable to a similarly titled measure of other companies, thereby diminishing their utility. A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow to net income is shown below.

The forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that affect operations, financial performance, and other factors as discussed in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
