ENLINK MIDSTREAM REPORTS THIRD QUARTER 2014 RESULTS

 

DALLAS, November 5, 2014 — The EnLink Midstream companies, EnLink Midstream Partners, LP (NYSE:ENLK) (the Partnership) and EnLink Midstream, LLC (NYSE:ENLC) (the General Partner), today reported results for the third quarter of 2014.

 

Third Quarter 2014 — EnLink Midstream Partners, LP Financial Results

 

The Partnership realized adjusted EBITDA of $111.3 million, distributable cash flow of $89.1 million and net income of $44.0 million for the third quarter of 2014. The Partnership’s third quarter of 2014 gross operating margin was $254.2 million and operating income was $90.1 million. 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.

 

“We experienced another quarter of solid performance,” said Barry E. Davis, EnLink Midstream President and Chief Executive Officer. “We completed construction of approximately $1 billion of organic growth projects, including the Cajun-Sibon expansion project in South Louisiana and a portion of the Bearkat expansion project in West Texas. In just the last 90 days, we’ve also announced projects that represent the next $1 billion in new capital touching on each of our four growth avenues. These new announcements include a drop down acquisition, an expansion project serving Devon Energy in the Permian basin, organic growth projects in South Louisiana and the Utica shale, and the acquisition of natural gas assets in the Louisiana Gulf Coast. We raised distributions for unitholders of both ENLK and ENLC, and we continue to execute on our goal to double the size of EnLink by 2017 and create significant value for our unitholders and customers.”

Non-GAAP Financial Information

 

This press release contains non-generally accepted accounting principle financial measures that we refer to as adjusted EBITDA, distributable cash flow, gross operating margin and cash available for distribution. We define adjusted EBITDA as net income plus interest expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense, stock-based compensation, (gain) loss on noncash derivatives, transaction costs, distribution of equity investment and non-controlling interest; and less income on equity investment. Distributable cash flow is defined as earnings before certain noncash charges and the gain on the sale of assets less maintenance capital expenditures. Gross operating margin is defined as revenue minus the cost of purchased gas, NGL, condensate and crude oil. We define cash available for distribution for the General Partner as distributions due to the General Partner from the Partnership and from the General Partner’s 50% interest in EnLink Midstream Holdings, LP (“Midstream Holdings”), less specific general and administrative costs as a separate public reporting entity, the interest costs associated with the General Partner’s debt and taxes attributable to earnings.

 

3



 

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 and the adjusted EBITDA of Midstream Holdings.  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. Adjusted EBITDA of Midstream Holdings is defined as earnings plus depreciation, provisions for income taxes and distribution of equity investment less income on equity investment.

 

The Partnership and General Partner believe 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 and the General Partner’s cash flow after it has satisfied the capital and related requirements of its operations.

 

Gross operating margin, adjusted EBITDA, distributable cash flow and cash available for distribution 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 and the General Partner’s performance. Furthermore, they should not be seen as 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.
