NEWS RELEASE

 

Midcoast Energy Partners, L.P. Declares Distribution and Reports

Earnings for Second Quarter 2016

 

HOUSTON — (July 28, 2016) -

 

Midcoast Energy Partners, L.P. (NYSE: MEP) ("Midcoast Partners" or "the Partnership") announced today that the board of directors of its general partner has declared a quarterly cash distribution of $0.3575 per unit, or $1.43 per unit on an annualized basis on all of its outstanding common and subordinated units, for the quarter ended June 30, 2016. The approved distribution remains unchanged from the previous quarter and represents an increase of 1.4 percent over the second quarter of 2015. The distribution is payable on August 12, 2016 to unitholders of record at the close of business on August 5, 2016.

 

Midcoast Partners reports net loss and cash used in operating activities for the three months ended June 30, 2016 of $36.8 million and $20.5 million, respectively.

 

Midcoast Partners reports adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow for the three months ended June 30, 2016 of $21.3 million and $16.5 million, respectively. See non-GAAP reconciliation section below for additional information about these measures.

 

SECOND QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS

 

Solid first-half 2016 financial performance, benefited by sustainable cost reduction measures.

 

Divestiture of non-core trucking assets underway.

 

Commodity-based cash flows for 2016 hedged over 90 percent at above current market prices.

 

Distribution agreement in place with sponsor supporting 1.0x coverage through 2017. (1)

 

“Our team at Midcoast continues to execute well in light of the current low commodity price environment,” said C. Gregory Harper, president for the Partnership. “We are pleased with our solid second quarter financial results, which are backed by ongoing cost reductions, further asset optimizations and hedges in place above current market prices.”

 

“The Partnership remains focused on executing on our current strategic priorities related to our core gathering and processing business and the rationalization of certain non-core assets. We are in the process of closing on the sale of certain trucking assets in our Logistics and Marketing segment,” Harper continued. “Initiatives to strengthen the core business are complemented by encouraging natural gas and natural gas liquids (NGL) commodity fundamentals in the medium term. Our gathering and processing assets are well positioned to benefit from expected natural gas and NGL demand growth over the next several years, particularly in the Gulf Coast region.”

In May, the Partnership and its sponsor, Enbridge Energy Partners, L.P. (“EEP”), announced the evaluation of strategic alternatives to address challenges in our jointly owned natural gas business, Midcoast Operating L.P. (“Midcoast Operating” or “MOLP”).

 

“The strategic evaluation is ongoing,” Harper said. “We are working with a long-term perspective to maximize the value of the business and expect to complete the evaluation by the end of this year.”

 

(1)As previously disclosed, distribution agreement in place with sponsor to support 1.0x coverage of a declared distribution with a term through 2017, and no requirement for MEP to reimburse EEP for adjusted distributions.

COMPARISON OF QUARTERLY RESULTS

 

Following are explanations for significant changes in Midcoast Operating’s financial results, comparing the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 with the same period of 2015. The comparison refers to operating income and adjusted operating income. Adjusted operating income excludes the effect of certain non-cash and other items that we believe are not indicative of our core operating results (see Non-GAAP Reconciliations section below).

Adjusted operating income (loss)  $(4.5)  $1.5   $(4.6)  $6.9 

 

 

Gathering, Processing and Transportation – Second quarter operating loss for the Gathering, Processing and Transportation segment was $185.5 million lower than the same period of 2015. The decrease in segment operating loss was primarily attributable to a goodwill impairment charge that was recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2015. No similar charge was recorded in the current quarter.

 

Second quarter adjusted operating results for the Gathering, Processing and Transportation segment were $6.2 million lower than the same period of 2015. The decrease in segment adjusted operating income was predominantly attributable to lower natural gas and NGL system production volumes, in addition to lower commodity prices, net of hedges. Lower system volumes were primarily attributable to the continued low commodity price environment for hydrocarbons, which has resulted in reductions in drilling activity from producers in the areas in which we operate. The decrease in adjusted operating income was partially offset by reductions in operating and administrative expenses from enacted cost reduction measures.

Logistics and Marketing –Second quarter operating loss for the Logistics and Marketing segment was $11.8 million lower than the same period of 2015. The decrease in segment operating loss was primarily attributable to a goodwill impairment charge that was recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2015. No similar goodwill impairment charge was recorded in the current quarter.

 

Second quarter adjusted operating loss for the Logistics and Marketing segment was $0.1 million higher than the same period of 2015. The increase in segment adjusted operating loss was predominantly attributable to a decrease in commodity prices and the resulting decrease in system natural gas and NGL volumes from reduced drilling activities. The decrease in adjusted operating loss was largely offset by reductions in operating and administrative expenses from enacted cost reduction measures.

NON-GAAP RECONCILIATIONS

 

Adjusted net income (loss) for the Partnership and adjusted operating income (loss) for the principal business segments are provided to illustrate trends in income excluding non-cash unrealized derivative fair value losses and gains and other items that we believe are not indicative of our core operating results and business outlook. The derivative non-cash losses and gains result from marking to market certain financial derivatives used by the Partnership for hedging purposes that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment in accordance with the authoritative accounting guidance as prescribed under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. Non-GAAP measures no longer include make-up rights and option premium amortization adjustments. These changes will be made on a prospective basis and are not material for historical periods presented.

Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow

 

Adjusted EBITDA (adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) is used as a supplemental financial measurement to manage the performance of the entity. Distributable cash flow is used as a supplemental financial measurement to assess liquidity and the ability to generate cash sufficient to pay interest costs and make cash distributions to unitholders of the Partnership. MOLP adjusted EBITDA, inclusive of other cash items is used as a supplemental financial measurement to assess liquidity and the ability to generate cash sufficient to make cash distributions to the partners of Midcoast Operating. The following reconciliations of net income (loss) to adjusted EBITDA, net cash provided by (used in) operating activities to MOLP adjusted EBITDA, and net cash provided by (used in) operating activities to distributable cash flow are provided because adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow are not financial measures recognized under generally accepted accounting principles.

SEGMENT INFORMATION

 

Our business is divided into operating segments, defined as components of the enterprise, about which financial information is available and evaluated regularly by our Chief Operating Decision Maker, collectively comprised of our senior management, in deciding how resources are allocated and performance is assessed.

 

Each of our reportable segments is a business unit that offers different services and products that are managed separately, since each business segment requires different operating strategies. We conduct our business through two distinct reporting segments:

 

Gathering, Processing and Transportation;
  
Logistics and Marketing.

 

The following tables present certain financial information relating to our business segments and corporate activities:
