Energy Transfer Reports Strong Second Quarter 2022 Results and Increases 2022 Full Year Outlook

By: Energy Transfer LP via Business Wire

August 03, 2022 at 16:10 PM EDT

Energy Transfer LP (NYSE:ET) (“Energy Transfer” or the “Partnership”) today reported financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2022.

Energy Transfer reported net income attributable to partners for the three months ended June 30, 2022 of $1.33 billion, a $700 million increase from the same period last year. For the three months ended June 30, 2022, net income per limited partner unit (basic) was $0.40 per unit.

Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended June 30, 2022 was $3.23 billion compared to $2.62 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2021.

Distributable Cash Flow attributable to partners, as adjusted, for the three months ended June 30, 2022 was $1.88 billion compared to $1.39 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2021.

For the second quarter 2022, Energy Transfer had higher transportation volumes across all of its segments and a full quarter contribution from the Enable Midstream assets that were acquired in December 2021.

Key accomplishments and recent developments:

Operational

As a result of increasing demand for fractionation capacity, Energy Transfer recently resumed construction of its eighth fractionator at its Mont Belvieu, Texas facility. Frac VIII, which was more than half funded when construction was paused in 2020, is now expected to be in service in the third quarter of 2023 and will bring the Partnership’s total fractionation capacity at Mont Belvieu to over 1.1 million barrels per day.
During the second quarter of 2022, Energy Transfer achieved record processing volumes in the Permian Basin. In support of this increased activity, the Partnership is currently constructing two new cryogenic processing plants:
- The Grey Wolf and Bear plants will each have a design capacity of 200 MMcf per day and are expected to be in service by year-end 2022 and in the second quarter of 2023, respectively.
During the second quarter of 2022, Energy Transfer also reported record NGL transportation and fractionation volumes.
Energy Transfer recently completed a non-binding open season on its Gulf Run Pipeline Project. Customer discussions are ongoing, which will likely necessitate facilities beyond the initial design of 1.65 Bcf/d. The 42-inch pipeline is expected to be completed by year-end 2022 and will provide natural gas transmission between the prolific Haynesville Shale and the U.S. Gulf Coast.
Energy Transfer’s Houston Terminal increased export crude oil volumes in the second quarter as a result of improved supply access via the new Ted Collins Link. This pipeline connection increases access to oil volumes from Energy Transfer’s Nederland Terminal and is expected to support future export volume growth.

Strategic

In August 2022, Energy Transfer entered into an agreement to acquire Woodford Express, LLC, a Mid-Continent gas gathering and processing system, for approximately $485 million. The system, which is located in the heart of the SCOOP play, has 450 MMcf per day of cryogenic gas processing and treating capacity and over 200 miles of gathering and transportation lines, which are connected to Energy Transfer’s pipeline network. The system is supported by dedicated acreage with long-term, predominantly fixed-fee contracts with active, proven producers. The transaction is expected to close by the end of the third quarter, subject to regulatory review and other customary closing conditions, and to be immediately accretive to Distributable Cash Flow.
To date in 2022, the Partnership has entered into five long-term LNG Sale and Purchase Agreements (“SPAs”). Under these SPAs, Energy Transfer LNG Export, LLC is expected to supply a total of 5.8 million tonnes of LNG per annum, with first deliveries expected to commence as early as 2026 under SPA terms ranging from 18 to 25 years.
Energy Transfer’s Nederland terminal and related facilities serve as critical resources with access to the nation’s Strategic Petroleum Reserve (“SPR”). As a result of increased activity in the region along with higher SPR volumes, the terminal set records for throughput during the second quarter.

Financial

Given Energy Transfer’s strong performance in the second quarter of 2022, as well as continued increasing demand, the Partnership now expects Adjusted EBITDA for the full year 2022 to be between $12.6 billion and $12.8 billion (previously $12.2 billion to $12.6 billion). The Partnership continues to expect its 2022 growth capital expenditures to be between $1.8 billion and $2.1 billion.
In July 2022, Energy Transfer announced a quarterly cash distribution of $0.23 per common unit ($0.92 annualized) for the quarter ended June 30, 2022. This distribution represents a more than 50% increase over the second quarter of 2021. Future increases to the distribution level will continue to be evaluated quarterly with the ultimate goal of returning distributions to the previous level of $0.305 per common unit per quarter ($1.22 annualized) while balancing the Partnership’s leverage target, growth opportunities and unit buybacks.
As of June 30, 2022, the Partnership’s revolving credit facility had $2.44 billion of available capacity.
For the three months ended June 30, 2022, the Partnership invested approximately $437 million on growth capital expenditures.

Energy Transfer benefits from a portfolio of assets with exceptional product and geographic diversity. The Partnership’s multiple segments generate high-quality, balanced earnings with no single segment contributing more than 30% of the Partnership’s consolidated Adjusted EBITDA for the three or six months ended June 30, 2022. The vast majority of the Partnership’s segment margins are fee-based and therefore have limited commodity price sensitivity.

Conference Call information:

The Partnership has scheduled a conference call for 3:30 p.m. Central Time/4:30 p.m. Eastern Time on Wednesday, August 3, 2022 to discuss its second quarter 2022 results and provide an update on the Partnership. The conference call will be broadcast live via an internet webcast, which can be accessed through www.energytransfer.com and will also be available for replay on the Partnership’s website for a limited time.

(a)	Winter Storm Uri, which occurred in February 2021, resulted in one-time impacts to the Partnership’s consolidated net income, Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow.

(b)	Adjusted EBITDA, Distributable Cash Flow and distribution coverage ratio are non-GAAP financial measures used by industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies to assess the financial performance and the operating results of Energy Transfer’s fundamental business activities and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income, income from operations, cash flows from operating activities or other GAAP measures.

	There are material limitations to using measures such as Adjusted EBITDA, Distributable Cash Flow and distribution coverage ratio, including the difficulty associated with using any such measure as the sole measure to compare the results of one company to another, and the inability to analyze certain significant items that directly affect a company’s net income or loss or cash flows. In addition, our calculations of Adjusted EBITDA, Distributable Cash Flow and distribution coverage ratio may not be consistent with similarly titled measures of other companies and should be viewed in conjunction with measurements that are computed in accordance with GAAP, such as operating income, net income and cash flow from operating activities.

	Definition of Adjusted EBITDA

	We define Adjusted EBITDA as total partnership earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, depletion, amortization and other non-cash items, such as non-cash compensation expense, gains and losses on disposals of assets, the allowance for equity funds used during construction, unrealized gains and losses on commodity risk management activities, inventory valuation adjustments, non-cash impairment charges, losses on extinguishments of debt and other non-operating income or expense items. Inventory adjustments that are excluded from the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA represent only the changes in lower of cost or market reserves on inventory that is carried at last-in, first-out (“LIFO”). These amounts are unrealized valuation adjustments applied to Sunoco LP’s fuel volumes remaining in inventory at the end of the period.

	Adjusted EBITDA reflects amounts for unconsolidated affiliates based on the same recognition and measurement methods used to record equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates. Adjusted EBITDA related to unconsolidated affiliates excludes the same items with respect to the unconsolidated affiliate as those excluded from the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA, such as interest, taxes, depreciation, depletion, amortization and other non-cash items. Although these amounts are excluded from Adjusted EBITDA related to unconsolidated affiliates, such exclusion should not be understood to imply that we have control over the operations and resulting revenues and expenses of such affiliates. We do not control our unconsolidated affiliates; therefore, we do not control the earnings or cash flows of such affiliates. The use of Adjusted EBITDA or Adjusted EBITDA related to unconsolidated affiliates as an analytical tool should be limited accordingly.

	Adjusted EBITDA is used by management to determine our operating performance and, along with other financial and volumetric data, as internal measures for setting annual operating budgets, assessing financial performance of our numerous business locations, as a measure for evaluating targeted businesses for acquisition and as a measurement component of incentive compensation.

	Definition of Distributable Cash Flow

	We define Distributable Cash Flow as net income, adjusted for certain non-cash items, less distributions to preferred unitholders and maintenance capital expenditures. Non-cash items include depreciation, depletion and amortization, non-cash compensation expense, amortization included in interest expense, gains and losses on disposals of assets, the allowance for equity funds used during construction, unrealized gains and losses on commodity risk management activities, inventory valuation adjustments, non-cash impairment charges, losses on extinguishments of debt and deferred income taxes. For unconsolidated affiliates, Distributable Cash Flow reflects the Partnership’s proportionate share of the investee’s distributable cash flow.

	Distributable Cash Flow is used by management to evaluate our overall performance. Our partnership agreement requires us to distribute all available cash, and Distributable Cash Flow is calculated to evaluate our ability to fund distributions through cash generated by our operations.

	On a consolidated basis, Distributable Cash Flow includes 100% of the Distributable Cash Flow of Energy Transfer’s consolidated subsidiaries. However, to the extent that noncontrolling interests exist among our subsidiaries, the Distributable Cash Flow generated by our subsidiaries may not be available to be distributed to our partners. In order to reflect the cash flows available for distributions to our partners, we have reported Distributable Cash Flow attributable to partners, which is calculated by adjusting Distributable Cash Flow (consolidated), as follows:

	•	For subsidiaries with publicly traded equity interests, Distributable Cash Flow (consolidated) includes 100% of Distributable Cash Flow attributable to such subsidiary, and Distributable Cash Flow attributable to our partners includes distributions to be received by the parent company with respect to the periods presented.

	•	For consolidated joint ventures or similar entities, where the noncontrolling interest is not publicly traded, Distributable Cash Flow (consolidated) includes 100% of Distributable Cash Flow attributable to such subsidiaries, but Distributable Cash Flow attributable to partners reflects only the amount of Distributable Cash Flow of such subsidiaries that is attributable to our ownership interest.

	For Distributable Cash Flow attributable to partners, as adjusted, certain transaction-related adjustments and non-recurring expenses that are included in net income are excluded.

	Definition of Distribution Coverage Ratio

	Distribution coverage ratio for a period is calculated as Distributable Cash Flow attributable to partners, as adjusted, divided by distributions expected to be paid to the partners of Energy Transfer in respect of such period.

(c)	For the six months ended June 30, 2022, the amount reflected for transaction-related income taxes was related to an amended return from a previous transaction.

The following analysis of segment operating results includes a measure of segment margin. Segment margin is a non-GAAP financial measure and is presented herein to assist in the analysis of segment operating results and particularly to facilitate an understanding of the impacts that changes in sales revenues have on the segment performance measure of Segment Adjusted EBITDA. Segment margin is similar to the GAAP measure of gross margin, except that segment margin excludes charges for depreciation, depletion and amortization. Among the GAAP measures reported by the Partnership, the most directly comparable measure to segment margin is Segment Adjusted EBITDA; a reconciliation of segment margin to Segment Adjusted EBITDA is included in the following tables for each segment where segment margin is presented.

In addition, for certain segments, the sections below include information on the components of segment margin by sales type, which components are included in order to provide additional disaggregated information to facilitate the analysis of segment margin and Segment Adjusted EBITDA. For example, these components include transportation margin, storage margin and other margin. These components of segment margin are calculated consistent with the calculation of segment margin; therefore, these components also exclude charges for depreciation, depletion and amortization.

Segment Adjusted EBITDA	$	218		$	224

Transported volumes increased primarily due to the acquisition of the Enable Oklahoma Intrastate Transmission system, as well as increased production in the Permian and Haynesville.

Segment Adjusted EBITDA. For the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same period last year, Segment Adjusted EBITDA related to our intrastate transportation and storage segment decreased due to the net impacts of the following:

an increase of $40 million in operating expenses primarily due to an increase of $19 million in cost of fuel consumption, an increase of $10 million in additional expenses from the Enable assets, an increase of $7 million in utilities expenses, and an increase of $2 million in ad valorem taxes;
an increase of $4 million in selling, general and administrative expenses primarily due to the addition of Enable;
a decrease of $4 million in transportation fees primarily due to revenues related to Winter Storm Uri in the prior period, partially offset by fees from the Enable Oklahoma Intrastate Transmission System; and
a decrease of $11 million in storage margin primarily due to lower storage optimization; partially offset by
an increase of $36 million in retained fuel revenues related to higher natural gas prices; and
an increase of $18 million in realized natural gas sales and other primarily due to the recognition in the current period of certain contingent amounts related to Winter Storm Uri.

Transported volumes increased primarily due to the impact of the Enable Acquisition, higher utilization on our Tiger system due to increased production in the Haynesville Shale, and higher volumes on our Transwestern system and on our Panhandle system due to increased demand.

Segment Adjusted EBITDA. For the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same period last year, Segment Adjusted EBITDA related to our interstate transportation and storage segment increased due to the net impacts of the following:

an increase of $121 million in segment margin primarily due to a $110 million increase due to the impact of the Enable Acquisition, a $21 million increase in transportation revenue from our Transwestern, Tiger, Rover and Trunkline Gas systems due to higher contracted volumes and higher rates, and a $6 million increase due to higher volumes and higher rates on operational gas sales on Transwestern. These increases were partially offset by an $11 million decrease resulting from shipper contract expirations on our Tiger system and a $5 million decrease on our Panhandle system due to less capacity sold; and
an increase of $10 million in Adjusted EBITDA related to unconsolidated affiliates primarily due to the Enable Acquisition in December 2021; partially offset by
an increase of $57 million in operating expenses primarily due to a $40 million increase from the impact of the Enable Acquisition, an $11 million increase resulting from the revaluation of system gas, a $3 million increase in maintenance project costs and a $2 million increase in ad valorem taxes; and
an increase of $11 million in selling, general and administrative expenses primarily due to the impact of the Enable Acquisition.

Segment Adjusted EBITDA	$	903		$	477

Gathered volumes and NGL production increased compared to the same period last year due to increased production in the South Texas and Northeast regions, additional gathering capacity from the Permian Bridge, and new volumes from the Enable Acquisition in December 2021.

Segment Adjusted EBITDA. For the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same period last year, Segment Adjusted EBITDA related to our midstream segment increased due to the net impacts of the following:

an increase of $137 million in non-fee-based margin due to favorable natural gas prices of $61 million and NGL prices of $76 million;
an increase of $146 million in non-fee-based margin due to the Enable Acquisition in December 2021, as well as increased production in the Permian and South Texas regions; and
an increase of $223 million in fee-based margin due to the Enable Acquisition in December 2021, as well as increased production in the Permian and South Texas regions; partially offset by
an increase of $63 million in operating expenses due to $57 million in incremental operating expenses related to the Enable assets acquired in December 2021 and a $6 million increase in materials pricing and repairs in the South Texas and Permian regions; and

NGL transportation volumes increased primarily due to higher volumes from the Permian and Eagle Ford regions and the ramp-up in volumes on our propane and ethane export pipelines into our Nederland Terminal.

Refined products transportation volumes increased due to recovery from COVID-19 related demand reduction in the prior period.

NGL and refined products terminal volumes increased primarily due to the ramp-up in volumes on our propane and ethane export pipelines and refined product demand recovery.

Average fractionated volumes increased by approximately 12% due to increased production to our system, primarily from the Permian and Eagle Ford regions.

Segment Adjusted EBITDA. For the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same period last year, Segment Adjusted EBITDA related to our NGL and refined products transportation and services segment increased due to the net impacts of the following:

an increase of $32 million in fractionators and refinery services margin primarily due to a $46 million increase from higher volumes and increased utilization of our ethane optimization strategy in 2022. This increase was partially offset by a $9 million decrease from a less favorable pricing environment impacting our refinery services business and a $7 million intrasegment charge, which is fully offset in our transportation margin;
an increase of $31 million in transportation margin primarily due to a $32 million increase resulting from higher y-grade throughput on our Texas pipeline system, a $7 million intrasegment charge, which is offset in our fractionators margin, a $6 million increase from higher exported volumes feeding into our Nederland Terminal, and a $5 million increase from higher throughput on our Mariner East pipeline system. These increases were partially offset by an $11 million decrease from lower throughput on our Mariner West pipeline due to the timing of customer facility maintenance and intrasegment charges of $9 million, which are fully offset within our marketing margin; and
an increase of $28 million in terminal services margin primarily due to an $18 million increase from higher export volumes loaded at our Nederland Terminal and an $8 million increase from higher throughput at our Marcus Hook Terminal; partially offset by
an increase of $47 million in operating expenses primarily due to a $35 million increase in gas and power utility costs, an $8 million increase from maintenance project costs and a $3 million increase in ad valorem taxes;
a decrease of $8 million in marketing margin primarily due to a $39 million decrease due to lower gains from the optimization of NGL component products from our Gulf Coast NGL activities. This decrease was partially offset by a $20 million increase from our northeast blending and optimization activities and intrasegment charges of $9 million, which are fully offset within our transportation margin; and
a decrease of $5 million in Adjusted EBITDA related to unconsolidated affiliates due to a $4 million decrease from lower volumes on the Explorer pipeline and a $2 million decrease from lower volumes on the White Cliffs pipeline.

Segment Adjusted EBITDA	$	562		$	484

Crude transportation volumes were higher on our Texas pipeline system and Bakken Pipeline, driven by continued recovery in crude oil production in these regions as a result of higher crude oil prices and refinery demand. Additionally, volumes benefited from assets acquired in the Enable Acquisition as well as new assets placed into service. Crude terminal volumes were higher due to increased refinery demand and increased export activity at our Gulf Coast terminals.

Segment Adjusted EBITDA. For the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same period last year, Segment Adjusted EBITDA related to our crude oil transportation and services segment increased due to the net impacts of the following:
