Earnings Release August 1, 2017 | |
Holly Energy Partners, L.P. Reports Second Quarter Results
Dallas, Texas -- Holly Energy Partners, L.P. (“HEP” or the “Partnership”) (NYSE:HEP) today reported financial results for the second quarter of 2017. Net income attributable to HEP for the second quarter was $41.3 million ($0.36 per basic and diluted limited partner unit) compared to $39.1 million ($0.45 per basic and diluted limited partner unit) for the second quarter of 2016.
Distributable cash flow was $60.9 million for the quarter, up $5.2 million, or 9.3% compared to the second quarter of 2016. HEP announced its 51st consecutive distribution increase on July 27, 2017, raising the quarterly distribution from $0.62 to $0.6325 per unit, which represents an increase of 8.1% over the distribution for the second quarter of 2016, exceeding HEP's distribution growth target of 8%.
The increase in earnings is primarily due to increased operating income from our Woods Cross refinery processing units of $4.5 million, offset by higher interest expense of $2.5 million.
Commenting on 2017 second quarter results, George Damiris, Chief Executive Officer, stated, “We are pleased with our solid financial performance in the second quarter, which allowed us to maintain our record of continuous quarterly distribution increases and achieve our distribution growth target of 8%, while still maintaining a distribution coverage ratio greater than 1.0. Looking forward, we will continue to leverage our talented employee base, our relationship with HollyFrontier and our Mid-Continent, Northwest and Southwest logistics footprint to generate new organic and external growth opportunities."
Second Quarter 2017 Revenue Highlights
Revenues for the quarter were $109.1 million, an increase of $14.2 million compared to the second quarter of 2016. The increase is primarily attributable to the $12.9 million of revenue recorded for the Woods Cross processing units acquired in the fourth quarter of 2016. Overall pipeline volumes were up 2% compared to the three months ended June 30, 2016, largely due to an increase in intermediate pipeline shipments.
| |
• | Revenues from our refined product pipelines were $31.1 million, an increase of $0.3 million compared to the second quarter of 2016 and shipments averaged 206.0 mbpd compared to 199.9 mbpd for the second quarter of 2016. Revenues and volumes both increased primarily due to higher spot sales on our UNEV pipeline, offset by lower throughput on the Alon system. |
| |
• | Revenues from our intermediate pipelines were $7.3 million, an increase of $0.5 million, on shipments averaging 151.7 mbpd compared to 135.2 mbpd for the second quarter of 2016. These volume increases were principally due to (a) 10.8 mbpd increase on HollyFrontier Corporation's ("HFC") Tulsa refinery interconnect lines and (b) 5.7 mbpd increase in HFC's Navajo refinery intermediate lines due to increased refinery crude rate after their first quarter 2017 turnaround. These volume increases did not all translate to increased revenue as there are minimum volume commitments on both sets of intermediate pipelines. |
| |
• | Revenues from our crude pipelines were $16.9 million, a decrease of $1.7 million, on shipments averaging 269.4 mbpd compared to 278.4 mbpd for the second quarter of 2016. Revenues decreased mainly due to a decrease in deferred revenue recognized. |
| |
• | Revenues from terminal, tankage and loading rack fees were $36.4 million, an increase of $1.8 million compared to the second quarter of 2016. Refined products terminalled in the facilities |
averaged 529.0 mbpd compared to 489.6 mbpd for the second quarter of 2016. The volume and revenue increases are mainly due to increased throughput at our Tulsa tankage and loading racks, Cheyenne loading racks, and UNEV Pipeline, LLC terminals.
| |
• | Revenues from refinery processing units were $17.5 million, an increase of $13.4 million on throughputs averaging 67.3 mbpd compared to 50.4 mbpd for the second quarter of 2016. This increase in revenue and volume is primarily due to the Woods Cross refinery processing units acquired in the fourth quarter of 2016. |
Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2017, include the recognition of $0.6 million of prior shortfalls billed to shippers in 2016 as they did not exceed their minimum volume commitments within the contractual make-up period. As of June 30, 2017, shortfall deferred revenue reflected in our consolidated balance sheet was $8.0 million. Such deferred revenue will be recognized in earnings either as (a) payment for shipments in excess of guaranteed levels, if and to the extent the pipeline system has the necessary capacity for shipments in excess of guaranteed levels, or (b) when shipping rights expire unused over the contractual make-up period.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2017 Revenue Highlights
Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2017, were $214.8 million, an increase of $17.9 million compared to the six months ended June 20, 2016. The increase is primarily attributable to the $27.6 million of revenue recorded for the Woods Cross refinery processing units acquired in the fourth quarter of 2016, offset by a $7.9 million decrease in revenues around assets serving HFC's Navajo refinery due to the substantial turnaround at the Navajo refinery during the first quarter of 2017.
| |
• | Revenues from our refined product pipelines were $61.4 million, a decrease of $9.4 million, on shipments averaging 199.2 mbpd compared to 205.3 mbpd for the six months ended June 30, 2016. Revenues and volumes both decreased mainly due to the turnaround at HFC's Navajo refinery in the first quarter of 2017. |
| |
• | Revenues from our intermediate pipelines were $12.5 million, a decrease of $1.7 million, on shipments averaging 128.1 mbpd compared to 136.3 mbpd for the six months ended June 30, 2016. These volume decreases were primarily due to the turnaround at HFC's Navajo refinery, offset by increases on both the Tulsa and Navajo interconnect lines. |
| |
• | Revenues from our crude pipelines were $33.8 million, a decrease of $2.3 million, on shipments averaging 269.2 mbpd compared to 282.9 mbpd for the six months ended June 30, 2016. Revenues and volumes decreased principally due to HFC's Navajo refinery turnaround in the first quarter of 2017 and a decrease in deferred revenue recognized. |
| |
• | Revenues from terminal, tankage and loading rack fees were $70.2 million, an increase of $3.0 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2016. Refined products terminalled in the facilities averaged 487.0 mbpd compared to 464.0 mbpd for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The volume and revenue increase are mainly due to our Tulsa crude tanks acquired on the last day of the first quarter of 2016 offset by the transfer of the El Paso terminal to HollyFrontier in the first quarter of 2016. |
| |
• | Revenues from refinery processing units were $36.9 million, an increase of $28.2 million on throughputs averaging 65.1 mbpd compared to 46.4 mbpd for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The increase in revenue and volume is primarily due to the Woods Cross refinery processing units acquired in the fourth quarter of 2016. |
Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2017, include the recognition of $2.7 million of prior shortfalls billed to shippers in 2016 as they did not exceed their minimum volume commitments within the contractual make-up period.
Operating Costs and Expenses Highlights
Operating costs and expenses were $56.7 million and $110.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, representing increases of $8.9 million and $15.3 million from the three and six months ended June 30, 2016. The increases are primarily due to new operating costs and expenses for our Woods Cross refinery processing units acquired in the fourth quarter of 2016.
Interest expense was $13.7 million and $27.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, representing increases of $2.5 million and $5.5 million over the same periods of 2016. The increases are due to the offering of $400 million aggregate principal 6% senior notes in July 2016, higher average balances outstanding under our senior secured revolving credit facility, and market interest rate increases.

(1) | Net income attributable to Holly Energy Partners is allocated between limited partners and the general partner interest in accordance with the provisions of the partnership agreement. Net income allocated to the general partner includes incentive distributions declared subsequent to quarter end. General partner incentive distributions were $17.5 million and $12.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively and $34.1 million and $23.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. |
| |
(2) | Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) is calculated as net income attributable to Holly Energy Partners plus (i) interest expense and loss on early extinguishment of debt, net of interest income, (ii) state income tax and (iii) depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is not a calculation based upon generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). However, the amounts included in the EBITDA calculation are derived from amounts included in our consolidated financial statements. EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income attributable to Holly Energy Partners or operating income, as an indication of our operating performance or as an alternative to operating cash flow as a measure of liquidity. EBITDA is not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. EBITDA is presented here because it is a widely used financial indicator used by investors and analysts to measure performance. EBITDA also is used by our management for internal analysis and as a basis for compliance with financial covenants. |
Set forth below is our calculation of EBITDA.

(3) | Distributable cash flow is not a calculation based upon GAAP. However, the amounts included in the calculation are derived from amounts presented in our consolidated financial statements, with the general exception of maintenance capital expenditures. Distributable cash flow should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net income attributable to Holly Energy Partners or operating income, as an indication of our operating performance, or as an alternative to operating cash flow as a measure of liquidity. Distributable cash flow is not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Distributable cash flow is presented here because it is a widely accepted financial indicator used by investors to compare partnership performance. It is also used by management for internal analysis and our performance units. We believe that this measure provides investors an enhanced perspective of the operating performance of our assets and the cash our business is generating. |
Set forth below is our calculation of distributable cash flow.

* | Maintenance capital expenditures are capital expenditures made to replace partially or fully depreciated assets in order to maintain the existing operating capacity of our assets and to extend their useful lives. Maintenance capital expenditures include expenditures required to maintain equipment reliability, tankage and pipeline integrity, and safety and to address environmental regulations. |

(4) | As a master limited partnership, we distribute our available cash, which historically has exceeded our net income attributable to Holly Energy Partners because depreciation and amortization expense represents a non-cash charge against income. The result is a decline in partners’ equity since our regular quarterly distributions have exceeded our quarterly net income attributable to Holly Energy Partners. Additionally, if the assets contributed and acquired from HollyFrontier while we were a consolidated variable interest entity of HollyFrontier had been acquired from third parties, our acquisition cost in excess of HollyFrontier’s basis in the transferred assets would have been recorded as increases to our properties and equipment and intangible assets at the time of acquisition instead of decreases to partners’ equity. |
