Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
     On April 26, 2007, TEPPCO Partners, L.P. (“TEPPCO”) issued a press release announcing its financial results for the first quarter 2007, and will hold a conference call discussing those results. A copy of the earnings press release is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this report, which is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 2.02. The webcast conference call will be available for replay on TEPPCO’s website at www.teppco.com. The webcast conference call will be archived on its website for 90 days.
     Unless the context requires otherwise, references to “we,” “us,” “our,” or “TEPPCO” within the context of this Current Report on Form 8-K refer to the consolidated business and operations of TEPPCO. In addition, as generally used in the energy industry and in the attached press release and accompanying exhibits, the identified terms have the following meanings:
         
 
  /d   = per day
 
  Bcf   = billion cubic feet
 
  BPD   = barrels per day
 
  Btu   = British Thermal units
 
  MMBtu   = million British Thermal units
 
  MMcf   = million cubic feet
Use of Non-GAAP financial measures
     Our press release and/or the webcast conference call discussions include the non-generally accepted accounting principle (“non-GAAP”) financial measures of margin of the Upstream segment, EBITDA, EBITDA excluding gains from asset sales and ownership interests and income from continuing operations excluding gains from asset sales and ownership interests. The press release provides reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Our non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as alternatives to GAAP measures such as net income or income from continuing operations, operating income, cash flow from operating activities or any other measure of financial performance calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Our non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures of other entities because other entities may not calculate such measures in the same manner as we do.
     Margin of the Upstream segment. We evaluate Upstream segment performance based on the non-GAAP financial measure of margin. Margin is calculated as revenues generated from the sale of crude oil and lubrication oil, and transportation of crude oil, less the costs of purchases of crude oil and lubrication oil, in each case prior to the elimination of intercompany sales, revenues and purchases between wholly owned subsidiaries. We believe margin is a more meaningful measure of financial performance than sales and purchases of crude oil and lubrication oil due to the significant fluctuations in sales and purchases caused by variations in the level of marketing activity and prices for products marketed. Additionally, we use margin internally to evaluate the financial performance of the Upstream segment because it excludes expenses that are not directly related to the marketing and sales activities being evaluated. A reconciliation of margin to operating income is provided in the Operating Data table accompanying the earnings release.
     EBITDA measures. We define EBITDA as net income plus interest expense — net, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, and a pro-rata portion, based on our equity ownership, of the interest expense and depreciation and amortization of each of our joint ventures. We have included EBITDA and EBITDA excluding gains from assets sales and ownership interests as supplemental disclosures because we believe they are used by our investors as supplemental financial measures in the evaluation of our business. A reconciliation of these measures to net income is provided in the Financial Highlights and Business Segment Data tables accompanying the earnings release.
     We believe EBITDA and EBITDA excluding gains from asset sales and ownership interests provide useful information regarding the performance of our assets without regard to financing methods, capital structures or

historical costs basis. As a result, these measures provide investors with a helpful tool for comparing the operating performance of our assets with the performance of other companies that have different financing and capital structures. EBITDA multiples are also used by our investors in assisting in the valuation of our limited partners’ equity.
     Income from continuing operations excluding certain gains. We present the measure of income from continuing operations excluding gains on asset sales and ownership interests in our press release and our webcast conference call because we believe this supplemental measure is useful to our investors in assessing the results of operations from our continuing assets. A reconciliation of this measure to income from continuing operations is provided in the Financial Highlights table accompanying the earnings release.

TEPPCO PARTNERS, L.P. REPORTS RECORD RESULTS
FOR 2007 FIRST QUARTER; INCREASES DISTRIBUTION
HOUSTON — TEPPCO Partners, L.P. (NYSE:TPP) today reported net income for the first quarter of 2007 of $138.2 million, or $1.29 per unit, compared with net income of $62.9 million, or $0.63 per unit, for the first quarter of 2006. The first quarter of 2007 included a $59.8 million gain on the sale of TEPPCO’s ownership interests in Mont Belvieu Storage Partners, L.P. and Mont Belvieu Venture, LLC (collectively, MBSP), as required by the Federal Trade Commission, and an $18.7 million gain on the sales of other assets. By comparison, the first quarter of 2006 included $19.3 million of gains on the sales of assets, primarily related to the sale of the Pioneer gas processing plant in March 2006. The 2006 period also included $1.6 million of income from the Pioneer plant, which was accounted for as discontinued operations prior to the sale in March 2006. Excluding the gains on the sale of the interests in MBSP and other assets, income from continuing operations increased $17.7 million to $59.7 million, or $0.56 per unit, for the first quarter of 2007, compared with $42.0 million, or $0.42 per unit, for the first quarter of 2006.
Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) from continuing operations were $199.0 million for the first quarter of 2007, compared with $99.9 million for the first quarter of 2006. Excluding gains from the sale of MBSP and other assets, EBITDA from continuing operations was $120.5 million for the first quarter of 2007,

 


 

TEPPCO 1Q 2007 Earnings   Page 2
compared with $100.2 million for the first quarter of 2006. EBITDA and EBITDA excluding gains from asset sales and ownership interests are non-GAAP financial measures, which are defined and reconciled to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measure later in this news release.
“Led by particularly strong performances in our Upstream and Downstream segments, TEPPCO’s first quarter financial results provided an excellent start for 2007 and allowed us to increase our first quarter cash distribution to unitholders,” said Jerry E. Thompson, president and chief executive officer of the general partner of TEPPCO. “Higher demand for propane movements to the Northeast resulting from colder winter weather, coupled with increased pipeline capacity to serve the market area, led to a substantial increase in EBITDA in our Downstream segment.”
“A record year for Upstream in 2006 was followed by a very strong performance in the first quarter of 2007, as the segment benefited from favorable market conditions and posted a 48 percent increase in EBITDA over the first three months of 2006,” continued Thompson. “In the Midstream segment, we expect the Jonah system, which is the largest asset in the segment, to produce improved results later in 2007 as new compression is installed as part of the Phase V expansion, and more wells are brought online following seasonal restrictions typical of the Pinedale area.”
OPERATING RESULTS BY BUSINESS SEGMENT
Upstream Segment
The Upstream segment includes crude oil transportation, storage, gathering and marketing activities; and distribution of lubrication oils and specialty chemicals.
EBITDA for the Upstream segment increased $9.8 million, or 48 percent, to $30.4 million for the first quarter of 2007, compared with $20.6 million of EBITDA for the first quarter of 2006. The increase in EBITDA resulted primarily from increased volumes of

 


 

TEPPCO 1Q 2007 Earnings   Page 3
crude oil marketed and transported, continued favorable crude oil price differentials and increased storage revenues, partially offset by higher operating and maintenance expenses.
TEPPCO’s share of EBITDA in Seaway Crude Pipeline, which is included in Upstream EBITDA, was $4.0 million for the first quarter of 2007, compared with $4.1 million for the first quarter of 2006. The decrease reflects lower long-haul transportation volumes as well as the decreased sharing ratio of TEPPCO’s portion of equity earnings in Seaway to 40 percent in 2007, from the average sharing ratio of 47 percent in 2006. Our equity earnings in Seaway for all future periods will reflect a sharing ratio level of 40 percent.
Downstream Segment
The Downstream segment includes the transportation, marketing and storage of refined products, liquefied petroleum gases (LPGs) and petrochemicals.
Downstream EBITDA, excluding gains on the sale of our interests in MBSP and other assets, increased 31 percent to $49.5 million for the first quarter of 2007, compared with $37.9 million for the first quarter of 2006. The increase was primarily due to a combination of increased LPG transportation volumes as a result of colder winter weather in the Northeast market areas served by TEPPCO and increased refined products transportation tariff rates.
Our share of EBITDA from unconsolidated investments, which is included in Downstream EBITDA, was $2.7 million for the first quarter of 2007, compared with $3.5 million for the first quarter of 2006. Our share of EBITDA in Centennial Pipeline was a loss of $0.7 million for the first quarter of 2007, compared to a loss of $0.5 million for the first quarter of 2006. The increased loss resulted from pipeline inspection costs and lower transportation volumes in 2007. Our share of EBITDA in MBSP was $3.4 million

 


 

     
TEPPCO 1Q 2007 Earnings
  Page 4
for the first quarter 2007, compared with $4.0 million for the first quarter 2006. The 2007 period reflects the March 1, 2007 sale of TEPPCO’s interests in MBSP.
Midstream Segment
The Midstream segment includes natural gas gathering services, and storage, transportation and fractionation of natural gas liquids (NGLs). Effective August 2006, Jonah Gas Gathering Company (Jonah) has been accounted for under the equity method of accounting and deconsolidated in TEPPCO’s financial statements and operating results.
EBITDA from continuing operations for the Midstream segment, excluding gains on asset sales, was $40.6 million for the first quarter of 2007, compared with $40.0 million for the first quarter of 2006. The increase was primarily due to a 22 percent increase in natural gas gathering volumes on the Jonah system to 1.47 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d) in the first quarter of 2007, reflecting the continued active drilling in both the Jonah and Pinedale fields in the Green River basin in Wyoming. The increase in EBITDA was partially offset by our reduced sharing percentage in the Jonah joint venture resulting from the partial start-up of the Phase V project during the first quarter of 2007, reduced coal-bed methane volumes gathered from the San Juan production basin on the Val Verde system and increased operating, general and administrative costs.
CAPITALIZATION AND LIQUIDITY
Total debt outstanding at March 31, 2007, was approximately $1.5 billion, with remaining liquidity of approximately $291 million under the partnership’s $700 million credit facility.

 


 

TEPPCO 1Q 2007 Earnings   Page 5
2007 CAPITAL EXPENDITURE OUTLOOK
The partnership currently anticipates that total capital expenditures for 2007 will be approximately $290 million, which includes about $250 million for organic growth projects and system upgrades and $40 million for maintenance capital. Additionally, TEPPCO expects to invest approximately $155 million in 2007 for its share of capital expenditures related to the Jonah Phase V expansion.
During the first quarter of 2007, TEPPCO completed the integration and expansion of the Genco system. Construction of additional crude oil storage capacity, the new refined products pipeline serving Memphis International Airport, the Jonah Phase V expansion project and other smaller scope projects, together with the operating performance of existing assets, are expected to generate incremental cash flow for the partnership during 2007 in excess of the historical annual cash flow of the ownership interests in MBSP and the assets sold during the first quarter of 2007.
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
The Financial Highlights table accompanying this earnings release and other disclosures herein include non-GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) measures under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) of EBITDA, EBITDA excluding gains from asset sales and ownership interests, income from continuing operations excluding gains from asset sales and ownership interests, and margin of the Upstream segment. Our non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as alternatives to GAAP measures such as net income or income from continuing operations, operating income, cash flow from operating activities or any other measure of financial performance calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Our non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures of other entities because other entities may not calculate such measures in the same manner as we do.

 


 

TEPPCO 1Q 2007 Earnings   Page 6
We define EBITDA as net income plus interest expense — net, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, and a pro-rata portion, based on our equity ownership, of the interest expense and depreciation and amortization of each of our joint ventures . We have included EBITDA and EBITDA excluding gains from asset sales and ownership interests as supplemental disclosures because we believe they are used by our investors as supplemental financial measures in the evaluation of our business. A reconciliation of these measures to net income is provided in the Financial Highlights table and the Business Segment Data table.
We believe EBITDA and EBITDA excluding gains from asset sales and ownership interests provide useful information regarding the performance of our assets without regard to financing methods, capital structures or historical costs basis. As a result, these measures provide investors with a helpful tool for comparing the operating performance of our assets with the performance of other companies that have different financing and capital structures. EBITDA multiples are also used by our investors in assisting in the valuation of our limited partners’ equity.
The Financial Highlights table accompanying this earnings release and other disclosures herein include references to income from continuing operations excluding gains on asset sales and ownership interests. We present this measure because we believe it is useful to our investors in assessing the results of operations from our continuing assets. A reconciliation of this measure to income from continuing operations is provided in the Financial Highlights table.
Information in the accompanying Operating Data table includes margin of the Upstream segment, which may also be viewed as a non-GAAP financial measure under the rules of the SEC. Margin is calculated as revenues generated from the sale of crude oil and lubrication oil, and transportation of crude oil, less the costs of purchases of crude oil

 


 

TEPPCO 1Q 2007 Earnings   Page 7
and lubrication oil, in each case prior to the elimination of intercompany sales, revenues and purchases between wholly owned subsidiaries. We believe margin is a more meaningful measure of financial performance than sales and purchases of crude oil and lubrication oil due to the significant fluctuations in sales and purchases caused by variations in the level of marketing activity and prices for products marketed. Additionally, we use margin internally to evaluate the financial performance of the Upstream segment because it excludes expenses that are not directly related to the marketing and sales activities being evaluated. A reconciliation of margin to operating income is provided in the Operating Data table.
