Westlake Chemical Partners LP (NYSE: WLKP) reported Q4 EPS of $0.37, $0.07 worse than the analyst estimate of $0.44. Revenue for the quarter came in at $272.87 million versus the consensus estimate of $288.9 million.

"We are pleased with the Partnership's performance in 2018. As we enter 2019, we are continuing to reap benefits of the investments made over the past few years to grow our earnings, cash flows and production, including the expansion of OpCo’s ethylene facilities in both Lake Charles, Louisiana and Calvert City, Kentucky, and increasing our ownership interest in OpCo in both 2015 and 2017," said Albert Chao, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Demonstrated by the resetting of our IDRs and previous drop downs, Westlake has established an ongoing commitment to the Partnership. This has allowed continued distribution growth to unitholders - with distribution growth of over 150% since our IPO just over four years ago.”
