USD Partners LP Announces Third Quarter 2015 Results and Reiterates 2016 Distribution Guidance
Houston, TX – USD Partners LP (NYSE: USDP) (the “Partnership”) announced today its operating and financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015. Highlights with respect to the third quarter of 2015 include the following:
• | Increased quarterly cash distribution to $0.2925 per unit ($1.17 per unit on an annualized basis) |
• | Reported Adjusted EBITDA of $9.7 million and Distributable Cash Flow of $6.8 million |
• | Reported Net Income of $6.3 million |
• | Ended quarter with $274.2 million of available liquidity |
On October 12, 2015, the Partnership announced it had agreed to acquire a crude oil loading rail terminal and associated storage and logistics assets in Casper, Wyoming for total consideration of $225.0 million, subject to closing adjustments. The Casper terminal is supported by take-or-pay contracts with primarily investment grade refiners and is expected to contribute approximately $26 million of Adjusted EBITDA in 2016 based on minimum contracted payments. The Partnership believes the transaction will be immediately accretive to distributable cash flow per unit upon closing, which is expected to occur in the current quarter.
On October 29, 2015, the Partnership issued 2016 distribution guidance stating management’s intention to recommend a distribution increase of at least $0.0075 per unit each quarter through the fourth quarter of 2016, subject to closing the previously announced Casper terminal acquisition. The proposed increases would deliver 10% distribution growth to unitholders (as calculated based on the fourth quarter of 2016 relative to the fourth quarter of 2015), while also maintaining significant distribution coverage throughout 2016, based on management’s expectations.
“Our high-quality assets delivered solid results and continued distribution growth for our unitholders during the third quarter,” said Dan Borgen, the Partnership’s Chief Executive Officer. “We look forward to closing the Casper terminal acquisition and capitalizing on our positive momentum at both the Partnership and USD.”
Third Quarter 2015 Operating and Financial Results
Terminalling Services Segment
For the third quarter of 2015, the Partnership’s Terminalling services segment generated Adjusted EBITDA of approximately $10.4 million and Income from Continuing Operations of approximately $8.4 million. The Partnership’s Terminalling services segment includes the Hardisty, San Antonio and West Colton rail terminals.
1
Hardisty Rail Terminal
Substantially all of the terminalling capacity at the Partnership’s Hardisty rail terminal is contracted under multi-year, take-or-pay terminal services agreements, which are subject to inflation-based escalators.
During the third quarter of 2015, a decline in the price of Western Canadian Select relative to alternative grades of crude oil incentivized customers to move crude oil from Hardisty to refining centers via rail, resulting in higher throughput volumes transported from our Hardisty rail terminal as compared to the prior quarter.
The Partnership’s Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of 2015 includes a net adjustment of negative $0.4 million associated with deferred revenues. The adjustment includes cash payments received in excess of charges implied by actual throughput during the quarter, reduced by amounts related to the recognition of previously deferred revenue, as well as the corresponding pipeline fees paid to Gibson Energy which are recognized as expense concurrently with the recognition of revenue.
Adjusted EBITDA attributable to the Hardisty rail terminal was negatively impacted by the continued decline in the value of the Canadian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar during the third quarter, which was partially offset by the settlement of derivative contracts the Partnership has put in place to mitigate the impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuations.
San Antonio and West Colton Rail Terminals
Average throughput for the third quarter of 2015 was approximately 10,400 barrels per day at the San Antonio rail terminal and approximately 5,300 barrels per day at the West Colton rail terminal, which represents an increase of approximately 2% and a decrease of approximately 5%, respectively, relative to the prior quarter.
The Partnership’s San Antonio and West Colton rail terminals operate under traditional fee for service arrangements that provide a fixed fee per gallon of ethanol offloaded at each terminal.
Fleet Services Segment
During the third quarter of 2015, the Partnership’s Fleet services segment generated Adjusted EBITDA of approximately $0.5 million and Income from Continuing Operations of approximately $0.3 million.
The Partnership’s Fleet services segment provides customers, including affiliates of our sponsor, access to railcars, as well as railcar-specific services related to the transportation of crude oil, ethanol and other liquid hydrocarbons. The Partnership has entered into master fleet services agreements with customers on a take-or-pay basis for periods ranging from five to nine years and typically charges its customers monthly fees per railcar that include the associated lease payment, plus a component for fleet services.

Capitalization and Liquidity
As of September 30, 2015, the Partnership had total available liquidity of $274.2 million, including approximately $41.1 million of cash and cash equivalents and undrawn borrowing capacity of $233.1 million on its $300.0 million senior secured credit facility. The Partnership had $66.9 million of total debt outstanding as of September 30, 2015.
The Partnership is in compliance with its financial covenants and has no maturities under its senior secured credit facility until July 2019. The Partnership intends to use its available liquidity as of September 30, 2015, to fund the Casper terminal acquisition, future growth initiatives and for general partnership purposes.
As of September 30, 2015, the Partnership had outstanding 10.2 million common units, 10.5 million subordinated units, 185,000 Class A units, 427,083 general partner units and 398,376 phantom units associated with its long-term incentive program.
Third Quarter 2015 Distribution
On October 29, 2015, the Partnership announced its quarterly cash distribution with respect to the third quarter of 2015 of $0.2925 per unit, or $1.17 per unit on an annualized basis. The distribution represents an increase of $0.0025 per unit over the prior quarter and is payable on November 13, 2015, to unitholders of record as of the close of business on November 9, 2015.
Acquisition of Casper Terminal
On October 12, 2015, the Partnership announced it had agreed to acquire 100% of the equity interests of Casper Crude to Rail, LLC, or the Casper terminal, for total consideration of $225.0 million, subject to closing adjustments. The purchase price includes $208.3 million of cash (from credit facility borrowings and available cash) and $16.7 million of limited partner units issued to certain of the sellers. The acquisition is expected to close in the current quarter.
The Casper terminal is supported by take-or-pay contracts with primarily investment grade refiners and is expected to contribute approximately $26 million of Adjusted EBITDA in 2016 based on minimum contracted payments.
The Casper terminal’s principal assets include i) a unit train-capable crude oil loading rail terminal with 100,000 barrels per day of capacity and dual loop tracks, ii) six customer-dedicated storage tanks with 900,000 barrels of total capacity and iii) a six-mile, 24-inch diameter pipeline with a direct connection from Spectra Energy Partners LP’s Express crude oil pipeline, which runs from Hardisty, Alberta, to Casper, Wyoming, and provides access to multiple grades of Canadian crude oil. The terminal’s advantaged location supports best-in-class access to multiple refining centers across the U.S., enhanced by on-site storage and blending capabilities, which enables customers to ship preferred grades of crude oil from Casper. Additionally, the terminal’s footprint and modular design allows for the addition of a second loading station and an additional 1.1 million barrels of storage capacity with minimal disruption to existing operations and relatively low incremental capital costs.

About USD Partners LP
The Partnership is a fee-based, growth-oriented master limited partnership formed by US Development Group LLC to acquire, develop and operate energy-related rail terminals and other high-quality and complementary midstream infrastructure assets and businesses. The Partnership’s assets consist primarily of: (i) an origination crude-by-rail terminal in Hardisty, Alberta, Canada, with capacity to load up to two 120-railcar unit trains per day and (ii) two destination unit train-capable ethanol rail terminals in San Antonio, Texas, and West Colton, California, with a combined capacity of approximately 33,000 barrels per day.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income before depreciation and amortization, interest and other income, interest and other expense, unrealized gains and losses associated with derivative instruments, foreign currency transaction gains and losses, income taxes, non-cash expense related to our equity compensation programs, discontinued operations, adjustments related to deferred revenue associated with minimum monthly commitment fees and other items which management does not believe reflect the underlying performance of our business. We define Distributable Cash Flow as Adjusted EBITDA less net cash paid for interest, income taxes and maintenance capital expenditures. Distributable Cash Flow does not reflect changes in working capital balances. Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow are both non-GAAP, supplemental financial measures used by management and by external users of our financial statements, such as investors and commercial banks, to assess:
• | our operating performance as compared to those of other companies in the midstream sector, without regard to financing methods, historical cost basis or capital structure; |
• | the ability of our assets to generate sufficient cash flow to make distributions to our partners; |
• | our ability to incur and service debt and fund capital expenditures; and |
• | the viability of acquisitions and other capital expenditure projects and our ability to generate incremental cash flows from these opportunities. |
We believe that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA provides information useful to investors in assessing our financial condition and results of operations. We further believe that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow information enhances investors’ understanding of our ability to generate cash for payment
4
of distributions and other purposes. The GAAP measures most directly comparable to Adjusted EBITDA are Net Income and Cash Flows from Operating Activities. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered an alternative to Net Income, Cash Flows from Operating Activities or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA excludes some, but not all, items that affect Net Income, and these measures may vary among other companies. As a result, Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. For a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow to the most comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, please see the “GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliations” table below.
