Delek Logistics Partners, LP Reports First Quarter 2015 Results

May 5, 2015

BRENTWOOD, Tenn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 5, 2015-- Delek Logistics Partners, LP (NYSE: DKL) ("Delek Logistics") today announced its financial results for the first quarter 2015. For the three months ended March 31, 2015, Delek Logistics reported net income attributable to all partners of $14.6 million, or $0.56 per diluted limited partner unit. This compares to net income attributable to all partners of $14.7 million, or $0.59 per diluted limited partner unit in the first quarter 2014. Distributable cash flow was $16.8 million in the first quarter 2015, compared to $17.0 million in the prior-year period.

During the first quarter 2015, the Partnership purchased drop down assets from Delek US for approximately $62.0 million and invested in two joint ventures representing a commitment of approximately $91.0 million. Also, a $2.9 million construction project commenced to expand the capacity of the Tyler terminal to support expected higher post-expansion volumes from Delek US' Tyler refinery. However, the combination of expenses associated with these and other growth initiatives, effects from the Tyler turnaround and expansion project and $1.2 million of costs due to higher ethanol purchase prices relative to market prices, reduced earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") by approximately $3.4 million.

Uzi Yemin, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Delek Logistics' general partner, remarked: “Our first quarter 2015 performance benefited from our new Paline Pipeline agreement and higher volumes on the Lion Pipeline system. Also, acquisitions during the fourth quarter 2014 of the Mount Pleasant, Texas terminal and Frank Thompson Transport provided additional contribution.”

Yemin continued, “With the completion of the previously identified asset drop downs from Delek US in the first quarter, our focus is transitioning toward development projects, as well as continued evaluation of strategic acquisitions to position the Partnership for long-term growth. During the quarter, we entered into our first pipeline development projects through two joint ventures with third parties that are expected to be completed in 2016. Also, we expect to continue to evaluate opportunities to partner with Delek US to provide additional growth. Furthermore, Delek US recently announced a potential investment in Alon USA, which may lead to additional opportunities for Delek Logistics. Based on continued execution of our growth strategies and our strong financial position, we believe we should have the ability to continue to increase our annual distributions by at least 15 percent going forward.”

Distribution and Liquidity

On April 21, 2015Delek Logistics declared a quarterly cash distribution for the first quarter of $0.53 per limited partner unit, which equates to $2.12 per limited partner unit on an annualized basis. This distribution is payable on May 14, 2015 to unitholders who were of record on May 4, 2015. This represents a 3.9 percent increase from the fourth quarter 2014 distribution of $0.51 per limited partner unit, or $2.04 per limited partner unit on an annualized basis, and a 24.7 percent increase over Delek Logistics’ first quarter 2014 distribution of $0.425 per limited partner unit, or $1.70 per limited partner unit annualized. For the first quarter 2015, the total cash distribution declared to all partners was $13.7 million and the distributable cash flow coverage ratio was 1.2 times. Excluding the $3.4 million of costs discussed above, the adjusted distributable cash flow was $20.2 million and the adjusted distributable cash flow coverage ratio was 1.5x.

As of March 31, 2015, Delek Logistics had total debt of $316.4 million. Availability under the $700.0 million credit facility was $379.1 million.

Financial Results

Results in the first quarter 2015 compared to the prior year period benefited from the acquisition of the El Dorado tank farm and product terminal in February 2014. Also, on March 31, 2015 the Tyler crude oil storage tank and El Dorado rail offloading facility were acquired. For accounting purposes, the expenses from operations prior to the acquisition of the El Dorado tank farm and product terminal acquired in February 2014, as well as the Tyler crude oil storage tank and El Dorado rail offloading facility acquired in March 2015, are attributed to their respective predecessor periods. For purposes of comparison, results discussed in the text of this press release exclude predecessor costs during the respective periods. However, these costs are shown in the financial statements and a reconciliation is provided in the tables attached to this release.

Revenue for the first quarter 2015 was $143.5 million and contribution margin was $24.5 million, which compares to revenue of $203.5 million and a contribution margin of $22.8 million in the first quarter 2014. Total operating expenses were $10.6 million compared to $8.5 million in the first quarter 2014. Operating expenses increased year-over-year primarily due to increased maintenance expense and acquisitions completed over the past year. General and administrative expenses were $3.4 million for the first quarter 2015 compared to $2.6 million in the prior-year period. General and administrative expenses included $1.2 million of professional fees related to growth initiatives, as well as higher expenses related to assets acquired over the past year. For the first quarter 2015, EBITDA was $21.1 million compared to $20.2 million in the prior year period.

Wholesale Marketing and Terminalling Segment

Contribution margin for the Wholesale Marketing and Terminalling segment was $5.1 million in the first quarter 2015, compared to $10.0 million in the first quarter 2014.

In west Texas, throughput was 16,645 barrels per day compared to 15,999 barrels per day in the first quarter 2014. The wholesale gross margin per barrel in west Texas decreased to $1.40 and included approximately $1.7 million, or $1.13 per barrel from renewable identification numbers (RINs) generated in the quarter. During the first quarter 2014, the wholesale gross margin per barrel was $3.57 and included $1.1 million from RINs, or $0.75 per barrel. On a year-over-year basis, the gross margin per barrel was affected by more challenging market conditions. Also, a decline in the market price for ethanol relative to fixed price contracts that were in place in the quarter reduced the gross margin by approximately $1.2 million in the first quarter 2015.

During the first quarter 2015, Delek US'Tyler, Texas refinery underwent a scheduled turnaround and expansion that reduced throughputs, which was the primary factor in lower terminal and marketing volumes for the Partnership on a year-over-year basis and accounted for an approximately $1.0 million reduction in contribution margin during the quarter. The Tyler refinery began the restart process in late March. Terminalling throughput volume of 66,828 barrels per day during the quarter decreased on a year-over-year basis from 86,600 barrels per day in the first quarter 2014. During the first quarter 2015, volume under the east Texas marketing agreement with Delek US was 26,956 barrels per day, which was below our minimum volume commitments, compared to 62,432 barrels per day during the first quarter 2014.

Pipelines and Transportation Segment

The Pipeline and Transportation segment's first quarter 2015 contribution margin of $19.4 million improved from $12.8 million in the first quarter 2014. This increase is primarily attributed to a full quarter of storage fees associated with the El Dorado tank farm purchased in February 2014. In addition, a higher contribution from the Paline Pipeline due to the new agreements that became effective on January 1, 2015 and higher volume on the Lion Pipeline System improved segment performance on a year-over-year basis.

Under the new Paline Pipeline agreements, two different third parties each pay a fixed monthly fee allowing them to use their respective capacities on this pipeline, which account for a combined 35,000 barrels per day. The initial term of these agreements is for 18 months beginning January 1, 2015. As a result, the effective incremental revenue per barrel should be increased by approximately $1.00 compared to 2014.

Volumes on the Lion Pipeline System were higher on a year-over-year basis as Delek US' El Dorado refinery increased throughput following the turnaround that was completed during the first quarter 2014. Crude oil (non-gathered) transported on the Lion Pipeline system increased to 56,687 barrels per day in the first quarter 2015 from 26,644 barrels per day in the prior-year period.

Asset Drop Down Update

On March 31, 2015, subsidiaries of Delek Logistics purchased the following assets from subsidiaries of Delek US for a combined total purchase price of $61.9 million. This purchase was financed through available cash and borrowings on its revolving credit facility. The combined expected annual EBITDA is approximately $6.7 million.

El Dorado Rail Offloading Facility - These assets consist of two crude oil unloading racks that allow Delek US’ El Dorado refinery to receive up to 25,000 barrels per day of light crude or up to 12,000 barrels per day of heavy crude or any combination of the two.

Tyler Crude Oil Storage Tank - This tank has approximately 350,000 barrels of shell capacity that supports Delek US’ Tyler refinery.

Project Development Update

On March 23, 2015Delek Logistics announced that through wholly owned subsidiaries it had entered into two joint ventures that will construct logistics assets to serve third parties and subsidiaries of Delek US. Delek Logistics’ total projected investment for the two joint ventures is approximately $91 million and will be financed through a combination of cash from operations and borrowings under its revolving credit facility. The following highlights each joint venture.

Caddo Pipeline - This pipeline project will be a 50/50 joint venture with a subsidiary of Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. (NYSE: PAA) (“Plains”). It will consist of a 12-inch, 80-mile crude oil pipeline originating in Longview, Texas with destinations in the Shreveport, Louisiana area, and will have a capacity of approximately 80,000 barrels per day of light sweet crude oil. Total estimated construction cost of this project is approximately $100 million and completion is expected in mid-2016. Upon successful completion of this project, Delek US has announced it expects to be an anchor shipper on this pipeline. This pipeline will be able to supply crude to refineries in the Shreveport area and through additional connections to Delek US’ refinery in El Dorado, Arkansas. Plains will build and operate this pipeline on behalf of the joint venture.

RIO Pipeline (Delaware Basin to Midland Pipeline Project) - This project will be developed with Rangeland Energy ("Rangeland"), and Delek Logistics will be a 33 percent participant. It has an estimated construction cost of approximately $125 million, and consists of a 12-inch, 107-mile pipeline originating in north Loving County, Texas near the Texas-New Mexico border and terminating in Midland, Texas. This pipeline will have an initial capacity of 55,000 barrels per day, with the capability to expand to 85,000 barrels per day or more with additional capital investments. Also included in this project are terminals at each end of the pipeline, injection points and storage tanks to support this pipeline. Upon successful completion of this project, Delek US has announced it expects to be an anchor shipper. Through connections in Midland, Texas, this project will deliver crude to take-away pipelines located in the Midland area. This project is expected to be completed in the first half of 2016. Rangeland will build and operate these assets on behalf of the joint venture.

Factors Affecting Comparability:

The following tables present financial and operational information for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014. On February 10, 2014Delek Logistics acquired substantially all of the active storage tanks and product terminal located at Delek US' El Dorado refinery (the “El Dorado Assets”). On March 31, 2015Delek Logistics acquired the Tyler crude oil storage tank and the El Dorado rail offloading facility (the “Logistics Assets”) from Delek US. These assets were accounted for as transfers between entities under common control. Accordingly, the accompanying financial statements of the Partnership have been retrospectively adjusted to include the historical results of these assets. For all periods presented through February 10, 2014, the acquisition date of the El Dorado Assets, and March 31, 2015, the acquisition date of the Logistics Assets, the retrospective adjustments were made to the financial statements. The historical results of the El Dorado Assets and Logistics Assets, prior to the acquisition dates, are referred to as the "El Dorado Asset Predecessor" and "Logistics Assets Predecessor" in the respective periods.

Non-GAAP Disclosures:

EBITDA and distributable cash flow are non-U.S. GAAP supplemental financial measures that management and external users of our combined financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies, may use to assess:

  • Delek Logistics' operating performance as compared to other publicly traded partnerships in the midstream energy industry, without regard to historical cost basis or, in the case of EBITDA, financing methods;
  • the ability of our assets to generate sufficient cash flow to make distributions to Delek Logistics' unitholders;
  • Delek Logistics' ability to incur and service debt and fund capital expenditures; and
  • the viability of acquisitions and other capital expenditure projects and the returns on investment of various investment opportunities.

Delek Logistics believes that the presentation of EBITDA and distributable cash flow provide useful information to investors in assessing its financial condition, its results of operations and cash flow its business is generating. EBITDA and distributable cash flow should not be considered as alternatives to net income, operating income, cash from operations or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. EBITDA and distributable cash flow have important limitations as analytical tools because they exclude some, but not all items that affect net income and net cash provided by operating activities. Additionally, because EBITDA and distributable cash flow may be defined differently by other partnerships in its industry, Delek Logistics' definitions of EBITDA and distributable cash flow may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other partnerships, thereby diminishing their utility. Please see the tables below for a reconciliation of EBITDA and distributable cash flow to their most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
