Enterprise Reports Record 2022 Results

Houston, Texas (Wednesday, February 1, 2023) – Enterprise Products Partners L.P. (“Enterprise”) (NYSE: EPD) today announced its financial results for the three months and year ended December 31, 2022.

Year Ended 2022 Results

Enterprise reported net income attributable to common unitholders of $5.5 billion, or $2.50 per unit on a fully diluted basis for 2022, compared to $4.6 billion, or $2.10 per unit on a fully diluted basis for 2021.  Net income for 2022 and 2021 was reduced by non-cash, asset impairment charges of approximately $53 million, or $0.02 per fully diluted unit, and $233 million, or $0.11 per fully diluted unit, respectively.

Distributable Cash Flow (“DCF”) increased 17 percent to $7.8 billion for 2022 compared to $6.6 billion for 2021.  DCF provided 1.9 times coverage of the distributions declared with respect to 2022.  Enterprise retained $3.6 billion of DCF in 2022 to reinvest in the partnership, repurchase partnership units, and reduce debt.  Distributions declared with regard to 2022 increased 5 percent to $1.905 per common unit, compared to distributions declared for 2021, marking the partnership’s 24th consecutive year of distribution growth.

Adjusted cash flow provided by operating activities (“Adjusted CFFO”), increased 13 percent to $8.1 billion for 2022 compared to $7.1 billion for 2021.  Enterprise’s payout ratio of distributions to common unitholders and partnership unit buybacks was 54 percent of Adjusted CFFO in 2022.  Adjusted Free Cash Flow (“Adjusted FCF”) was $3.0 billion for 2022.  Excluding $3.2 billion used for the acquisition of Navitas Midstream Partners, LLC (“Navitas Midstream”) in February 2022, the partnership’s payout ratio of Adjusted FCF was 71 percent for 2022.

“We are extremely proud and grateful for the teamwork and contribution of our 7,200 employees to Enterprise’s record performance in 2022,” said A. J. “Jim” Teague, co-chief executive officer of Enterprise’s general partner.  “We established 25 safety, operating and financial records in 2022.”

“The partnership’s performance was generated by record volumes across many of our assets, higher margins in our natural gas processing and octane enhancement businesses, and contributions from our acquisition of Navitas Midstream.  This acquisition was immediately accretive to Enterprise’s cash flow per unit and has exceeded our expectations.  We also increased the value of our partnership in 2022 by investing $1.6 billion in organic growth projects and asset purchases and strengthened our balance sheet by repurchasing $250 million of our common units on the open market while reducing the principal amount of our debt by $1.3 billion,” continued Teague.

“Enterprise finished 2022 with a solid fourth quarter, reporting record total gross operating margin.  Our quarterly results were driven by record total pipeline transportation volumes of 11.5 million BPD, on a barrel equivalent basis, higher NGL and natural gas pipeline transportation volumes, higher natural gas processing margins and increased fee-based gas processing volumes.  Our Midland Basin gathering and processing assets we acquired in February 2022 continued to produce solid results this quarter,” stated Teague.

“During the quarter, we opportunistically purchased approximately 580 miles of pipeline and related assets that enables us to cost effectively optimize and expand our NGL and petrochemical pipeline systems on the Texas Gulf Coast.  The partnership has $3.6 billion of assets under construction that are scheduled to be completed and begin commercial operations in 2023.  These major projects include our second facility to convert propane into polymer grade propylene (PDH 2), two natural gas processing plants in the Permian basin and a twelfth NGL fractionator at our Chambers County complex.  These projects are underwritten by long-term agreements and will provide new sources of cash flow for the partnership,” said Teague.

“We began 2023 by successfully issuing a total of $1.75 billion of 3-year and 10-year notes, which effectively refinances $1.25 billion of debt maturities and should satisfy our remaining long-term funding needs for the year.  We thank our debt investors for their consistent support over the years.  We also increased our fourth quarter distribution that will be paid later this month by 5.4 percent compared to the distribution paid a year ago.  In July, Enterprise will celebrate the 25th anniversary of our initial public offering.  The partnership is on track to accomplish another significant financial milestone in 2023: 25 consecutive years of distribution growth,” continued Teague.

“We embark on this new year with one of the strongest balance sheets in our history.  This provides Enterprise the financial flexibility to invest in new growth opportunities and to help weather unforeseen macro-economic challenges.  Since our initial public offering, our financial goals have remained the same: to responsibly invest in the growth of the partnership to provide our partners with a growing and resilient stream of cash distributions and increase the long-term value of the partnership.  With the support of our employees, customers, suppliers and investors, we look forward to the year ahead,” concluded Teague.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release and accompanying schedules include the non-GAAP financial measures of total gross operating margin, Adjusted CFFO, FCF, Adjusted FCF, DCF and Adjusted EBITDA.  The accompanying schedules provide definitions of these non-GAAP financial measures and reconciliations to their most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.  Our non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as alternatives to GAAP measures such as net income, operating income, net cash flow provided by 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 companies because they may not calculate such measures in the same manner as we do.

Light Louisiana Sweet (“LLS”) prices are based on commercial index prices as reported by Platts.

The weighted-average indicative market price for NGLs (based on prices for such products at Mont Belvieu, Texas, which is the primary industry hub for domestic NGL production) was $0.69 per gallon during the fourth quarter of 2022 versus $0.89 per gallon during the fourth quarter of 2021.  Fluctuations in our consolidated revenues and cost of sales amounts are explained in large part by changes in energy commodity prices.  An increase in our consolidated marketing revenues due to higher energy commodity sales prices may not result in an increase in gross operating margin or cash available for distribution, since our consolidated cost of sales amounts would also be expected to increase due to comparable increases in the purchase prices of the underlying energy commodities.  The same type of relationship would be true in the case of lower energy commodity sales prices and purchase costs.

FCF is a non-GAAP measure of how much cash a business generates after accounting for capital expenditures such as plants or pipelines.  Additionally, Adjusted FCF is a non-GAAP measure of how much cash a business generates, excluding the net effect of changes in operating accounts, after accounting for capital expenditures.  We believe that FCF is important to traditional investors since it reflects the amount of cash available for reducing debt, investing in additional capital projects and/or paying distributions.  We believe that Adjusted FCF is also important to traditional investors for the same reasons as FCF, without regard for fluctuations caused by timing of when amounts earned or incurred were collected, received or paid from period to period. Since we partner with other companies to fund certain capital projects of our consolidated subsidiaries, our determination of FCF and Adjusted FCF appropriately reflect the amount of cash contributed from and distributed to noncontrolling interests.

Adjusted CFFO is a non-GAAP measure that represents net cash flow provided by operating activities before the net effect of changes in operating accounts, as summarized from the Company’s Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. We believe that it is important to consider this non-GAAP measure as it can often be a better way to measure the amount of cash generated from our operations that can be used to fund our capital investments or return value to our investors through cash distributions and buybacks, without regard for fluctuations caused by timing of when amounts earned or incurred were collected, received or paid from period to period.

Sustaining capital expenditures are capital expenditures (as defined by GAAP) resulting from improvements to and major renewals of existing assets.  Such expenditures serve to maintain existing operations but do not generate additional revenues.
(2)
The year ended December 31, 2021 includes $100 million of accounts receivable that we do not expect to collect in the normal billing cycle.

DCF is an important non-GAAP liquidity measure for our common unitholders since it serves as an indicator of our success in providing a cash return on investment.  Specifically, this liquidity measure indicates to investors whether or not we are generating cash flows at a level that can sustain or support an increase in our quarterly cash distributions.  DCF is also a quantitative standard used by the investment community with respect to publicly traded partnerships because the value of a partnership unit is, in part, measured by its yield, which is based on the amount of cash distributions a partnership can pay to a common unitholder.

Excludes amortization of major maintenance costs for reaction-based plants, which are a component of Adjusted EBITDA.

Adjusted EBITDA is commonly used as a supplemental financial measure by our management and external users of our financial statements, such as investors, commercial banks, research analysts and rating agencies, to assess the financial performance of our assets without regard to financing methods, capital structures or historical cost basis; the ability of our assets to generate cash sufficient to pay interest and support our indebtedness; and the viability of projects and the overall rates of return on alternative investment opportunities.

Since Adjusted EBITDA excludes some, but not all, items that affect net income or loss and because these measures may vary among other companies, the Adjusted EBITDA data presented in this press release may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.  The GAAP measure most directly comparable to Adjusted EBITDA is net cash flow provided by operating activities.

Excludes amortization of major maintenance costs for reaction-based plants, which are a component of gross operating margin.

We evaluate segment performance based on our financial measure of gross operating margin.  Gross operating margin is an important performance measure of the core profitability of our operations and forms the basis of our internal financial reporting.  We believe that investors benefit from having access to the same financial measures that our management uses in evaluating segment results. 

The term “total gross operating margin” represents GAAP operating income exclusive of (i) depreciation, amortization and accretion expenses (excluding amortization of major maintenance costs for reaction-based plants), (ii) impairment charges, (iii) gains and losses attributable to asset sales and related matters, and (iv) general and administrative costs.  Total gross operating margin includes equity in the earnings of unconsolidated affiliates, but is exclusive of other income and expense transactions, income taxes, the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles and extraordinary charges.  Total gross operating margin is presented on a 100 percent basis before any allocation of earnings to noncontrolling interests.  The GAAP financial measure most directly comparable to total gross operating margin is operating income.

Total gross operating margin excludes amounts attributable to shipper make-up rights as described in footnote (6) to Exhibit A of this press release.
