CorEnergy Announces First Quarter 2022 Results

Announces First CO2 Project

CorEnergy Infrastructure Trust, Inc. (NYSE: CORR, CORRPrA) ("CorEnergy" or the "Company") today announced financial results for the first quarter, ended March 31, 2022.

First Quarter 2022 and Recent Highlights

  • Reported consolidated revenue of $32.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022.
  • Generated Net Income of $4.4 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $12.0 million.
  • Published CorEnergy's inaugural ESG report, accessible at corenergy.reit, indicating a lower emission profile than average oil and gas pipelines on a CO2e per MMBTU-mile basis.
  • Signed our first non-binding memorandum of understanding to provide the transportation solution for a carbon sequestration project in California.
  • Declared a first quarter 2022 Common Stock dividend of $0.05 per share and a 7.375% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock dividend of $0.4609375 per depositary share. Both dividends will be paid on May 31, 2022, to stockholders of record on May 17, 2022.

Management Commentary

“Our first quarter results demonstrate the benefit of our reorganized operations and reduced costs, leading to better dividend coverage. Looking to the rest of the year, we see a number of opportunities to positively impact transportation volumes, including the return of volumes on the Amplify pipeline and potential resolution of the permitting case in California,” said Dave Schulte, Chief Executive Officer.

“On the strategic front, we have spoken about our potential for engaging with project developers and have begun working on specific mandates to enable the transportation of CO2. We are pleased to announce that we signed our first non-binding memorandum of understanding to provide the transportation solution for a carbon sequestration project in California. We believe that carbon sequestration projects could enable us to maximize utilization of our pipeline assets and rights of ways.”

Business Development Activities

CorEnergy has identified multiple opportunities for negotiated transactions that could expand the Company's market reach or REIT qualifying revenue sources, including both traditional infrastructure and potential-alternative uses for its rights of way. The Company closely evaluates potential opportunities to ensure alignment with REIT qualifying business activities, and will continue to prudently advance these opportunities.

Outlook

CorEnergy updated its outlook for 2022 to the following, reflecting changes in the timing expectations around the return of Amplify offshore volumes to CorEnergy's systems and a softer volume outlook primarily due to the delayed court proceedings around drilling permits:

  • Expected adjusted EBITDA of $42.0-$44.0 million,
  • Maintenance capital expenditures expected to be in the range of $8.0 million to $9.0 million in 2022; quarterly maintenance costs are not expected to be uniform throughout the year due to project timing,
  • Maintain $0.20/share annual run rate common dividend subject to Board approval on a quarterly basis.

Dividend and Distribution Declarations

The Company currently expects to characterize at least some portion of its 2022 Common Stock and Preferred Stock dividends as Return of Capital for tax purposes.

Common Stock: A first quarter 2022 dividend of $0.05 per share was declared for CorEnergy's common stock. The dividend will be paid on May 31, 2022, to stockholders of record on May 17, 2022.

Preferred Stock: For the Company's 7.375% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, a cash dividend of $0.4609375 per depositary share was declared. The preferred stock dividend, which equates to an annual dividend payment of $1.84375 per depositary share, will be paid on May 31, 2022, to stockholders of record on May 17, 2022.

Class A-1 Units: Pursuant to the terms of the Crimson transaction, the holders of Crimson Class A-1 Units received a cash distribution of $0.4609375 per unit based on the Company’s declared Series A Preferred dividend.

Class A-2 and Class A-3 Units: Pursuant to the terms of the Crimson transaction, the holders of Crimson Class A-2 and Class A-3 Units did not receive a cash distribution this quarter, since no dividend was declared on the underlying Class B Common Stock.

Notes

1 Management uses CAD as a measure of long-term sustainable performance. Adjusted Net Income and CAD are non-GAAP measures. Adjusted Net Income represents net income (loss) adjusted for gain on sale of equipment and transaction-related costs. CAD represents Adjusted Net Income adjusted for depreciation, amortization and ARO accretion (cash flows) and deferred tax expense (benefit) less transaction costs; maintenance capital expenditures; preferred dividend requirements and mandatory debt amortization. Reconciliations of Adjusted Net Income and CAD to Net Income (Loss) and Net Cash Provided By Operating Activities are included in the additional financial information attached to this press release.

2 Management uses Adjusted EBITDA as a measure of operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA represents net income (loss) adjusted for items such as loss on impairment of leased property; loss on impairment and disposal of leased property; loss on termination of lease; loss (gain) on extinguishment of debt; and transaction-related costs. Adjusted EBITDA is further adjusted for depreciation, amortization and ARO accretion expense; income tax expense (benefit) and interest expense. The reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to Net Income (Loss) is included in the additional financial information attached to this press release.
