Martin Midstream Partners Reports Third Quarter 2021 Financial Results and Declares Quarterly Cash Distribution

  • Third quarter 2021 financial performance beats internal projections despite impact from Hurricane Ida
  • Reported net loss of $6.9 million and $11.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively
  • Reported adjusted EBITDA of $21.5 million and $74.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively
  • Generated distributable cash flow of $5.2 and $25.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively
  • Declares quarterly distribution of $0.005 or $0.02 per unit annually 

Martin Midstream Partners L.P. (Nasdaq:MMLP) (the "Partnership") today announced its financial results for the third quarter of 2021.

Bob Bondurant, President and Chief Executive Officer of Martin Midstream GP LLC, the general partner of the Partnership stated, “The Partnership’s third quarter performance exceeded our expectations, and we now expect to meet the top end of the range of our 2021 financial guidance for adjusted EBITDA of $95 to $102 million.

“On August 29, 2021, Hurricane Ida made landfall in Louisiana as a Category 4 storm with sustained winds of 150 miles per hour. Despite this extremely dangerous event, I am happy to report there were no injuries to our employees, although some did suffer damage to homes and property. The Partnership sustained minimal damage to assets in and around Port Fourchon. Further, in the days and weeks following the storm we were able to provide alternative storage and terminalling services from our Galveston terminal as needed.

“Turning to our results, in the Terminalling and Storage segment, demand for lubricants and grease products remains strong and our distribution lanes have been able to fulfill customer requirements even as the supply chain has been disordered. Within the Sulfur Services segment, the pure sulfur business continues to improve along with increased refinery utilization. Further downstream fertilizer sales and margins are outperforming as commodity prices remain strong for corn and cotton. In Transportation, our marine equipment utilization continues to increase as fundamentals in the industry improve and demand for trucking services remains elevated resulting in improved economics for the business segment.

“Finally, as is typical, the Natural Gas Liquids segment substantially increased butane inventory volumes in the third quarter to meet our customers' requirements throughout the winter gasoline blending season. Since this inventory build is concurrent with our weakest cash flow quarter due to the seasonality of both the fertilizer and butane businesses, a temporary rise in leverage occurs. Accordingly, at September 30, 2021, leverage increased to 5.5 times from 5.3 times at June 30, 2021. However, this increase is transitory and leverage is expected to significantly decrease by year-end, driven by the Partnership’s reduced working capital needs and strong financial performance.”

THIRD QUARTER 2021 OPERATING RESULTS BY BUSINESS SEGMENT

TERMINALLING AND STORAGE (“T&S”)

T&S Operating Income for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 was $4.4 million and $7.0 million, respectively.

Adjusted segment EBITDA for T&S was $11.2 million and $14.2 million, for the three month periods ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, reflecting increased utilities expense coupled with expired capital recovery fees at the Smackover Refinery, the disposition of our Mega Lubricants business in the 4th quarter of 2020, and increased utilities and repairs and maintenance expense at our Specialty Terminals.

TRANSPORTATION

Transportation Operating Income for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 was $3.9 million and $1.1 million, respectively.

Adjusted segment EBITDA for Transportation was $7.6 million and $5.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, reflecting higher rates counterbalanced by rising labor and operating costs along with increased land transportation load count, offset by lower marine day rates coupled with a reduction in marine equipment.

SULFUR SERVICES

Sulfur Services Operating Income for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 was $2.3 million and $5.6 million, respectively.

Adjusted segment EBITDA for Sulfur Services was $4.9 million and $4.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, reflecting increased fertilizer volumes and margins offset by lower sulfur volumes during the third quarter of 2021.

NATURAL GAS LIQUIDS (“NGL”)

NGL Operating Income for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 was $1.6 million and $1.8 million, respectively.

Adjusted segment EBITDA for NGL was $1.8 million and $2.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, primarily reflecting a decrease in volumes as 2020 benefited from an increased seasonal demand, offset by higher NGL margins.

UNALLOCATED SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSE (“USGA”)

USGA expenses included in operating income for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 were $4.0 million and $4.5 million, respectively.

USGA expenses included in adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 were $4.0 million and $4.2 million, respectively, primarily reflecting a reduction in overhead allocated from Martin Resource Management.

LIQUIDITY

At September 30, 2021, the Partnership had $208.5 million drawn on its $275 million revolving credit facility, an increase of $29 million from June 30, 2021. The Partnership’s leverage ratio, as calculated under the revolving credit facility, was 5.5 times and 5.3 times on September 30, 2021 and June 30, 2021, respectively. The Partnership was in compliance with all debt covenants as of September 30, 2021.

QUARTERLY CASH DISTRIBUTION

The Partnership has declared a quarterly cash distribution of $0.005 per unit for the quarter ended September 30, 2021. The distribution is payable on November 12, 2021 to common unitholders of record as of the close of business on November 5, 2021. The ex-dividend date for the cash distribution is November 4, 2021.

Forward-Looking Statements

Statements about the Partnership’s outlook and all other statements in this release other than historical facts are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements and all references to guidance or to financial or operational estimates or projections rely on a number of assumptions concerning future events and are subject to a number of uncertainties, including (i) the current and potential impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic generally, on an industry-specific basis, and on the Partnership’s specific operations and business, (ii) the effects of the continued volatility of commodity prices and the related macroeconomic and political environment, and (iii) other factors, many of which are outside its control, which could cause actual results to differ materially from such statements. While the Partnership believes that the assumptions concerning future events are reasonable, it cautions that there are inherent difficulties in anticipating or predicting certain important factors. A discussion of these factors, including risks and uncertainties, is set forth in the Partnership’s annual and quarterly reports filed from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Partnership disclaims any intention or obligation to revise any forward-looking statements, including financial estimates, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise except where required to do so by law.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

The Partnership's management uses a variety of financial and operational measurements other than its financial statements prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") to analyze its performance. These include: (1) net income before interest expense, income tax expense, and depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA"), (2) adjusted EBITDA, (3) distributable cash flow and (4) adjusted free cash flow. The Partnership's management views these measures as important performance measures of core profitability for its operations and the ability to generate and distribute cash flow, and as key components of its internal financial reporting. The Partnership's management believes investors benefit from having access to the same financial measures that management uses.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. The Partnership defines Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA before unit-based compensation expenses, gains and losses on the disposition of property, plant and equipment, impairment and other similar non-cash adjustments. Certain items excluded from EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are significant components in understanding and assessing an entity's financial performance, such as cost of capital and historical costs of depreciable assets. The Partnership has included information concerning EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA because it provides investors and management with additional information to better understand the following: financial performance of the Partnership's assets without regard to financing methods, capital structure or historical cost basis; the Partnership's operating performance and return on capital as compared to those of other similarly situated entities; and the viability of acquisitions and capital expenditure projects. The Partnership's method of computing adjusted EBITDA may not be the same method used to compute similar measures reported by other entities. The economic substance behind the Partnership's use of adjusted EBITDA is to measure the ability of the Partnership's assets to generate cash sufficient to pay interest costs, support its indebtedness and make distributions to its unitholders.

Distributable Cash Flow. The Partnership defines Distributable Cash Flow as Adjusted EBITDA less cash paid for interest, cash paid for income taxes, maintenance capital expenditures, and plant turnaround costs. Distributable cash flow is a significant performance measure used by the Partnership's management and by external users of its financial statements, such as investors, commercial banks and research analysts, to compare basic cash flows generated by the Partnership to the cash distributions it expects to pay unitholders. Distributable cash flow is also an important financial measure for the Partnership's unitholders since it serves as an indicator of the Partnership's success in providing a cash return on investment. Specifically, this financial measure indicates to investors whether or not the Partnership is generating cash flow at a level that can sustain or support an increase in its quarterly distribution rates. Distributable cash flow is also a quantitative standard used throughout the investment community with respect to publicly-traded partnerships because the value of a unit of such an entity is generally determined by the unit's yield, which in turn is based on the amount of cash distributions the entity pays to a unitholder.

Adjusted Free Cash Flow. Adjusted free cash flow is defined as distributable cash flow less growth capital expenditures and principal payments under finance lease obligations. Adjusted free cash flow is a significant performance measure used by the Partnership's management and by external users of our financial statements and represents how much cash flow a business generates during a specified time period after accounting for all capital expenditures, including expenditures for growth and maintenance capital projects. The Partnership believes that adjusted free cash flow is important to investors, lenders, commercial banks and research analysts since it reflects the amount of cash available for reducing debt, investing in additional capital projects, paying distributions, and similar matters. The Partnership's calculation of adjusted free cash flow may or may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other entities.

EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, distributable cash flow, and adjusted free cash flow should not be considered alternatives to, or more meaningful than, net income, cash flows from operating activities, or any other measure presented in accordance with GAAP. The Partnership's method of computing these measures may not be the same method used to compute similar measures reported by other entities.
