The Partnership realized adjusted EBITDA of $129.9 million, net income from continuing operations of $35.0 million, net cash provided by operating activities of $170.6 million and distributable cash flow of $98.7 million for the first quarter of 2015. The Partnership’s first quarter 2015 gross operating margin was $278.9 million and operating income was $50.8 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 are pleased with our first quarter performance and continue to execute on our growth plan in this challenging commodity environment,” said Barry E. Davis, EnLink President and Chief Executive Officer.  “Consistent with our growth strategy, the Partnership has completed approximately $3.7 billion of drop downs, growth projects and strategic acquisitions in the last year.  As we look ahead, we remain well positioned for stability and long-term growth.”

 

The Partnership’s operating and reporting segments are based principally upon geographic regions served and consist of the following: the Texas segment, which includes natural gas gathering, processing, transmission and fractionation operations located in north Texas and west Texas; the Louisiana segment, which includes pipelines, processing plants and NGL assets located in Louisiana; the Oklahoma segment, which includes natural gas gathering and processing operations located in Oklahoma; the Crude and Condensate segment, which has historically been referred to as the Ohio River Valley segment and which includes rail, truck, pipeline and barge facilities to deliver crude and condensate in Texas, Louisiana and the Ohio River Valley and brine disposal wells in the Ohio River Valley; and the corporate segment, which includes operating activity for intersegment eliminations and gains or losses from derivative activities.

 

Each business segment’s contribution to the Partnership’s first quarter 2015 gross operating margin is below:

 

·      The Texas segment contributed $144.8 million of gross operating margin.

 

·      The Louisiana segment contributed $65.2 million of gross operating margin.

 

·      The Oklahoma segment contributed $40.5 million of gross operating margin.

·      The Crude and Condensate segment contributed $28.2 million of gross operating margin.

The General Partner reported net income of $24.3 million for the first quarter of 2015.

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, growth capital expenditures, maintenance capital expenditures and the General Partner’s cash available for distribution.  We define adjusted EBITDA as net income from continuing operations plus interest expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense, impairment expense, stock-based compensation, gain on noncash derivatives, transaction costs, distribution of equity investment and non-controlling interest and income on equity investment. We define distributable cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities plus adjusted EBITDA, net to EnLink Midstream Partners, LP less interest expense, interest rate swap, cash taxes and other, maintenance capital expenditures and Predecessor adjusted EBITDA.  Gross operating margin is defined as revenue minus the cost of purchased gas, NGL, condensate and crude oil. Growth capital expenditures are defined as all construction-related direct labor and material costs, as well as indirect construction costs including general engineering costs and the costs of funds used in construction. We define cash available for distribution for the General Partner as distributions due to the General Partner from the Partnership and the General Partner’s 25% interest in the adjusted EBITDA of EnLink Midstream Holdings, LP (“Midstream Holdings”) less maintenance capital, which is distributed to the General Partner on a monthly basis, less specific general and administrative costs as a separate public reporting entity, the interest costs associated with the General Partner’s debt and current taxes attributable to earnings.

 

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, growth capital expenditures, maintenance capital expenditures 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.
