CROSSTEX ENERGY REPORTS SECOND-QUARTER 2013 RESULTS

 

DALLAS, August 7, 2013 — The Crosstex Energy companies, Crosstex Energy, L.P. (NASDAQ:XTEX) (the Partnership) and Crosstex Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ:XTXI) (the Corporation), today reported results for the second quarter of 2013.

 

Second-Quarter 2013 Compared with Second-Quarter 2012 — Crosstex Energy, L.P. Financial Results

 

The Partnership realized adjusted EBITDA of $50.7 million and distributable cash flow of $29.9 million for the second quarter of 2013, compared with adjusted EBITDA of $48.7 million and distributable cash flow of $23.4 million for the second quarter of 2012. The Partnership’s net loss for the second quarter of 2013 was $10.6 million versus net loss of $2.4 million for the second quarter of 2012.

 

“We continue to make progress with our growth projects, which will significantly expand our assets and capabilities in our NGL and crude businesses, while complementing our core natural gas gathering, processing and transmission business,” said Barry E. Davis, Crosstex President and Chief Executive Officer. “We are executing our strategy to become a larger, more-diversified, fee-based midstream company through these projects.”

 

The Partnership’s second quarter 2013 gross operating margin of $95.5 million increased $5.2 million compared with a gross operating margin of $90.3 million for the second quarter of 2012. The improvement was primarily due to the Partnership’s July 2012 acquisition of assets in the Ohio River Valley, greater contributions from the Partnership’s Permian Basin assets and increased natural gas liquids (NGL) fractionation and marketing activities. Adjusted EBITDA, distributable cash flow and gross operating margin are explained in greater detail under “Non-GAAP Financial Information,” and reconciliations of these measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measures are included in the tables at the end of this news release.

 

The Partnership reports results by operating segment principally based on regions served. Reportable segments consist of natural gas gathering, processing and transmission operations in the Barnett Shale in north Texas and in the Permian Basin in west Texas (NTX); gas pipelines and gas processing plants in Louisiana (LIG); gas processing and NGL assets, including NGL fractionation and marketing activities, in south Louisiana (PNGL); and rail, truck, pipeline and barge facilities in the Ohio River Valley (ORV).

Each business segment’s contribution to the second quarter 2013 gross operating margin compared with the second quarter 2012, and the factors affecting those contributions, are described below:

 

·                  The ORV segment contributed $13.5 million of gross operating margin during the second quarter of 2013. Gross operating margins attributable to crude oil and condensate totaled $8.5 million, and the remaining $5.0 million of gross operating margin was attributable to brine handling and disposal.

·                  The NTX segment’s gross operating margin decreased $4.2 million. Increased gas processing margins, primarily in the Permian Basin, were offset by a decline in gathering and transmission margins resulting from decreased volumes and reduced gathering rates under certain contracts, including a contract with a major producer in north Texas.

·                  The PNGL segment’s gross operating margin increased $3.8 million. Increased NGL volumes from truck and rail activity at the Partnership’s fractionators and increased oil terminal activity were largely offset by decreased plant processing margins due to the weak natural gas processing environment which caused a significant decline in volumes processed through the plants as well as declines in margins earned on volumes that were processed.

·                  The LIG segment’s gross operating margin decreased $7.9 million, primarily as a result of the weak natural gas processing environment, the impact of the Bayou Corne slurry-filled sinkhole and lower blending and treating fees in the second quarter of 2013 as compared to the second quarter of 2012. Volume declines related to the north LIG system in the Haynesville Shale resulted in only a slight decrease in gross operating margin because we transport gas primarily under firm transportation agreements on this system.

 

The Partnership’s second quarter 2013 operating expenses were $36.8 million, an increase of $6.2 million, or 20 percent, from the second quarter of 2012. The increase was primarily related to the direct operating cost of the ORV assets acquired in July 2012 and an increase in employee headcount related to the ORV acquisition and announced growth projects in the PNGL segment. General and administrative expenses rose $3.2 million, or 25 percent, versus the second quarter of 2012 largely due to increases in headcount related to the ORV acquisition and announced growth projects and stock based compensation partially offset by reductions in legal and other professional fees. Depreciation and amortization expense for the second quarter of 2013 rose $1.8 million, or five percent, compared with the second quarter of 2012 primarily due to depreciation and amortization attributable to the ORV assets which was partially offset by decreased depreciation on the Sabine Pass gas processing plant in south Louisiana. Interest expense for the second quarter of 2013 decreased $3.1 million, or 15 percent, to $18.2 million largely due to interest capitalized in relation to ongoing growth projects, which was partially offset by interest on the 7.125% senior unsecured notes due 2022 that the Partnership issued in May 2012.

 

The net loss per limited partner common unit for the second quarter of 2013 was $0.23 compared with a net loss of $0.13 per common unit for the second quarter of 2012.

 

Second-Quarter 2013 Compared with Second-Quarter 2012 — Crosstex Energy, Inc. Financial Results

 

The Corporation reported a net loss of $4.7 million for the second quarter of 2013 compared with a net loss of $1.7 million for the second quarter of 2012.

 

Excluding cash held by the Partnership and E2, the compression and stabilization company in which the Corporation is invested, the Corporation had cash on hand of approximately $1.0 million and $26.4 million of borrowings outstanding under the Corporation’s subsidiary’s bank credit facility as of the end of the second quarter of 2013.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

 

This press release contains non-generally accepted accounting principle financial measures that the Partnership refers to as gross operating margin, adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow. Gross operating margin is defined as revenue minus the cost of purchased gas, NGL and crude oil. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income plus interest expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense, impairments, stock-based compensation, (gain) loss on non-cash derivatives, distribution from a limited liability company and non-controlling interest; less gain on sale of property and equity in income (loss) of limited liability company. Distributable cash flow is defined as earnings before certain noncash charges and the gain on the sale of assets less maintenance capital expenditures. The amounts included in the calculation of these measures are computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) with the exception of maintenance capital expenditures.  Maintenance capital expenditures are capital expenditures made to replace partially or fully depreciated assets in order to maintain the existing operating capacity of the assets and to extend their useful lives.

The Partnership believes these measures are useful to investors because they may provide users of this financial information with meaningful comparisons between current results and prior-reported results and a meaningful measure of the Partnership’s cash flow after it has satisfied the capital and related requirements of its operations.

 

Gross operating margin, adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow, as defined above, are not measures of financial performance or liquidity under GAAP. They should not be considered in isolation or as an indicator of the Partnership’s performance. Furthermore, they should not be seen as measures of liquidity or a substitute for metrics prepared in accordance with GAAP. Reconciliations of these measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measures are included in the following tables.

 

This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. These statements are based on certain assumptions made by the Partnership and the Corporation based upon management’s experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments and other factors the Partnership and the Corporation believe are appropriate in the circumstances. These statements include, but are not limited to, statements with respect to the Partnership’s and the Corporation’s guidance and future outlook, distribution and dividend guidelines and future estimates and results of operations. Such statements are subject to a number of assumptions, risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the control of the Partnership and the Corporation, which may cause the Partnership’s and the Corporation’s actual results to differ materially from those implied or expressed by the forward-looking statements. These risks include the following: (1) the Partnership’s profitability is dependent upon prices and market demand for natural gas, NGL, condensate and crude oil; (2) the Partnership’s substantial indebtedness could limit its flexibility and adversely affect its financial health; (3) the Partnership may not be able to obtain funding, which would impair its ability to grow; (4) the Partnership and the Corporation do not have diversified assets; (5) the Partnership may not be successful in balancing its purchases and sales; (6) drilling levels may decrease due to deterioration in the credit and commodity markets; (7) the Partnership’s credit risk management efforts may fail to adequately protect against customer non-payment; (8) the amount of natural gas, NGL, condensate and crude oil transported may decline as a result of reduced drilling by producers, competition for supplies, reserve declines and reduction in demand from key customers and markets; (9) the level of the Partnership’s processing, fractionation, crude oil handling and brine disposal operations may decline for similar reasons; (10) the successful execution of major projects is subject to factors beyond the control of the Partnership; (11) operational, regulatory and other asset-related risks, including weather conditions, exist because a significant portion of the Partnership’s assets are located in southern Louisiana and the Ohio River Valley; (12) the Partnership’s use of derivative financial instruments does not eliminate its exposure to fluctuations in commodity prices and interest rates; and (13) other factors discussed in the Partnership’s and the Corporation’s Annual Reports on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2013, and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Partnership and the Corporation have no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
