Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

 

On October 25, 2007, TEPPCO Partners, L.P. (“TEPPCO”) issued a press release announcing its financial results for the third 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: (i) margin of the Upstream segment, (ii) EBITDA, EBITDA from continuing operations and EBITDA from continuing operations excluding gains from sales of assets and ownership interests; and (iii) income from continuing operations excluding gains from sales of assets 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 of our Upstream segment 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 related adjusted EBITDA measures in our supplemental disclosures because we believe they are used by our investors as supplemental financial measures in the evaluation of our business. Further, we believe EBITDA and related adjusted EBITDA measures 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. A reconciliation of these measures to net income is provided in the Financial Highlights and Business Segment Data tables accompanying the earnings release.

 

Income from continuing operations excluding certain gains. We present the measure of income from continuing operations excluding gains on sales of assets 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

THIRD QUARTER EARNINGS


 

HOUSTON – TEPPCO Partners, L.P. (NYSE:TPP) today reported record third quarter net income for 2007 of $47.6 million, or $0.44 per unit, compared with net income of $41.1 million, or $0.39 per unit, for the third quarter of 2006. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) increased to a record $114.4 million for the third quarter of 2007, an increase of 13 percent compared with $101.6 million for the third quarter of 2006.

 

Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was $233.6 million, or $2.17 per unit, compared with $145.5 million, or $1.43 per unit, for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 includes a $59.6 million gain on the sale of TEPPCO’s ownership interests in Mont Belvieu Storage Partners, L.P. and Mont Belvieu Venture, LLC (collectively, MBSP), required by the Federal Trade Commission, and an $18.7 million gain on the sales of other assets, all of which occurred during the first quarter of 2007. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, includes $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 $1.5 million of income from the Pioneer plant, which was accounted for as discontinued operations prior to the sale. Income from continuing

operations increased $107.5 million to $233.6 million, or $2.17 per unit, for the first nine months of 2007, compared with $126.1 million, or $1.24 per unit, for the same period in 2006. Excluding the gains on the sale of the interests in MBSP and other assets, income from continuing operations increased $30.6 million to $155.3 million, or $1.44 per unit, for the first nine months of 2007, compared with $124.7 million, or $1.23 per unit, for the first nine months of 2006.

 

EBITDA from continuing operations was $420.6 million for the first nine months of 2007, compared with $298.5 million for the first nine months of 2006. EBITDA from continuing operations, excluding gains from the sale of MBSP and other assets, was $342.3 million for the first nine months of 2007, compared with $298.7 million for the first nine months of 2006. EBITDA, EBITDA from continuing operations and EBITDA from continuing operations excluding gains from asset sales and ownership interests are non-GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) financial measures, which are defined and reconciled to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measure later in this news release.

 

“I am pleased to report that each of our business segments reported increases in performance compared to the prior year third quarter, which led to overall record third quarter earnings for TEPPCO,” said Jerry E. Thompson, president and chief executive officer of the general partner of TEPPCO. “This is our fifth consecutive quarter that we have reported a record. Increased transportation demand for diesel fuel and gasoline to the Midwest and continued volume growth on the Jonah Gas Gathering system were the largest contributors to our record performance for the third quarter.”

 

Thompson added, “Earlier this month, we were pleased to announce a second distribution increase in 2007 to our unitholders, bringing the annualized distribution rate to $2.78 per unit, which represents a 3 percent increase from the annualized distribution rate a year ago. We have some very exciting organic growth initiatives under way,

including the Motiva products terminal in Port Arthur, new terminal construction in Boligee, Alabama and new tanks in Cushing, Oklahoma, as well as our ongoing expansions in the Jonah field. These projects, along with many smaller strategic organic projects and acquisitions, are key to increasing future distributable cash flow for TEPPCO. Our planned capital spending in 2007, including our cash contributions to the Jonah joint venture, remains on target with our previous estimate of approximately $460 million. Approximately $410 million of this amount is planned to be spent on organic growth projects that support our focus on generating stable, fee-based cash flows.”

 

OPERATING RESULTS BY BUSINESS SEGMENT

 

Upstream Segment

EBITDA for the Upstream segment, which includes crude oil transportation, storage, gathering and marketing activities, as well as distribution of lubrication oils and specialty chemicals, was $28.8 million for the third quarter of 2007, compared with $28.2 million for the third quarter of 2006. Increased transportation, marketing and terminal volumes, as well as completed capital projects all led to improved segment performance.

 

TEPPCO’s share of EBITDA in Seaway Crude Pipeline was $3.0 million for the third quarter of 2007, compared with $4.8 million for the third quarter of 2006. The decrease reflects lower long-haul transportation volumes and 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. The partnership’s equity earnings in Seaway for all future periods will reflect a sharing ratio of 40 percent. Long-haul volumes on Seaway averaged 104,000 bpd in the 2007 quarter, compared with 239,000 bpd in the 2006 quarter. Seaway transportation volumes in the third quarter of 2007 continued to be negatively impacted by the temporary shut-down of several refineries for maintenance and repairs.

 

 

 


TEPPCO 3Q 2007 Earnings

Downstream Segment

EBITDA for the Downstream segment, which includes the transportation, marketing and storage of refined products, liquefied petroleum gases (LPGs) and petrochemicals, increased 22 percent to $39.8 million for the third quarter of 2007, compared with $32.7 million for the third quarter of 2006. The increase was due primarily to a 14 percent increase in refined products transportation revenues attributable to reduced Midwest refinery production that led to increased demand for transportation from the Gulf Coast. In addition, short-haul transportation volumes increased in the Houston area as a result of the completion of the Genco integration project in the first half of 2007.

 

TEPPCO’s share of EBITDA from unconsolidated investments, which is included in Downstream EBITDA, was $1.4 million for the third quarter of 2007, compared with $2.0 million for the third quarter of 2006. The third quarter of 2006 included $2.4 million of EBITDA related to the ownership interest in MBSP, which was sold in the first quarter of 2007. The improved performance of TEPPCO’s investment in Centennial Pipeline, which comprises substantially all of Downstream’s investments in unconsolidated affiliates since the MBSP sale, was due to increased transportation volumes, which averaged approximately 181,000 bpd in the third quarter of 2007, compared to 135,000 bpd in the third quarter of 2006.

 

Midstream Segment

The Midstream segment includes natural gas gathering services, as well as storage, transportation and fractionation of natural gas liquids (NGLs). Effective August 1, 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.

 

 

 


TEPPCO 3Q 2007 Earnings

Page 5

 

 

EBITDA for the third quarter of 2007 increased 13 percent to $45.8 million, compared with $40.7 million for the third quarter of 2006. The increase was due primarily to a 28 percent increase in natural gas gathering volumes on our Jonah system from 1.29 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d) to 1.65 Bcf/d in the third quarter of 2007, reflecting the partial completion of the Phase V expansion and continued active drilling in both the Jonah and Pinedale fields in the Green River basin in Wyoming. NGL transportation revenues increased 9 percent in the third quarter 2007, compared with the prior year period due to continued high demand on the Chaparral and Panola systems that originate in West Texas and East Texas, respectively.

 

CAPITALIZATION AND CAPITAL EXPENDITURE OUTLOOK

Total debt outstanding at September 30, 2007, was approximately $1.8 billion, with remaining liquidity of approximately $300 million under the partnership’s $700 million credit facility. During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, TEPPCO spent $122.3 million on revenue-generating projects in addition to $127.8 million of investment for its share of capital expenditures primarily related to the Jonah Phase V expansion, and $41.9 million on capital spending to maintain existing assets.

 

The partnership anticipates that total capital expenditures for the full year 2007 will be approximately $280 million, which includes about $230 million for organic growth projects and system upgrades and approximately $50 million for maintenance capital. Additionally, TEPPCO expects to invest approximately $180 million in 2007 for its share of capital expenditures related to the Jonah Phase V expansion.

 

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

The Financial Highlights table accompanying this earnings release and other disclosures herein include the following non-GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) measures under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC): EBITDA, EBITDA from continuing operations and EBITDA from continuing

operations excluding gains from sales of assets and ownership interests; income from continuing operations excluding gains from sales of assets 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.

 

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 related adjusted EBITDA measures in our disclosures because we believe they are used by our investors as supplemental financial measures in the evaluation of our business.

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. A reconciliation of these measures to net income is provided in the Financial Highlights table and the Business Segment Data table.

 

We have presented income from continuing operations, excluding gains on sales of assets and ownership interests in our disclosures because we believe it is useful to our investors in assessing the results of operations from our continuing assets. A
