Dominion Midstream Partners Announces Third-Quarter 2016 Earnings

 

    Net Income attributable to the partnership of $24.3 million

 

    Adjusted EBITDA of $27.9 million for third-quarter 2016

 

    Management affirms targeted 22% annual distribution growth through 2020

RICHMOND, Va. – Dominion Midstream Partners, LP (NYSE: DM) reported unaudited net income attributable to the partnership of $24.3 million, or 30 cents per common limited partner unit for the three months ended Sept. 30, 2016. Adjusted earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (Adjusted EBITDA) was $27.9 million, and distributable cash flow was $24.1 million for the quarter.

Dominion Midstream uses Adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow as the primary performance measurements of its earnings and results for public communications with analysts and investors. Dominion Midstream also uses Adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow internally for budgeting, reporting to the Board of Directors and other purposes. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow provide a more meaningful representation of the company’s financial performance and liquidity. Schedules B and D of this press release include a reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP measure.

On Oct. 21, 2016, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly distribution of $0.2475 per unit, payable on Nov. 15, 2016, to unitholders of record at the close of business Nov. 4, 2016.
