Williams Partners L.P. Reports Third-Quarter 2009 Financial Results
• | Net Income, DCF Performance Continue to Improve | ||
• | Strong 3Q Results: DCF Up 97% Over 2Q | ||
• | 3Q Distribution Coverage Ratio is 1.80x |
TULSA, Okla. — Williams Partners L.P. (NYSE: WPZ) today announced unaudited third-quarter 2009 net income of $55.9 million, compared with third-quarter 2008 net income of $60.8 million. Net income per limited-partner unit for third-quarter 2009 was $1.04, compared with $1.00 per limited-partner unit, as revised, for third-quarter 2008.
Lower natural gas liquid (NGL) margins, driven by much lower NGL prices, were the primary reason for the decline in net income in the third quarter. The lower prices were significantly offset by sharply lower natural gas prices. Gathering volumes at Wamsutter and Four Corners remained steady. Lower operating and maintenance expenses at Four Corners and higher volumes at Discovery partially offset the lower NGL margins.
Year-to-date through Sept. 30, Williams Partners’ net income was $100.0 million, compared with $176.3 million for the same period in 2008. Net income per limited-partner unit for the first nine months of 2009 was $1.88, compared with $2.92, as revised, for the first nine months of 2008.
Lower NGL margins, due to much lower NGL prices, were also the primary reason for the decline in net income in the year-to-date period. These lower prices were significantly offset by the benefit of sharply lower natural gas prices. Lower operating and maintenance expenses at Four Corners also helped partially offset the lower NGL margins.
Third-quarter and year-to-date 2008 net income per limited-partner unit have been revised pursuant to the adoption of an accounting rule change in 2009, which changed the method the partnership previously used to allocate undistributed earnings between the limited partners and the general partner.
Distributable Cash Flow Significantly Improved Versus 2Q ‘09
For third-quarter 2009, the key measure of distributable cash flow per weighted-average limited partner unit was $1.15, compared with $0.96 for third-quarter 2008. Distributable cash flow for limited-partner unitholders was $60.5 million for third-quarter 2009, compared with $50.5 million for third-quarter 2008.
Distributable cash flow per weighted-average limited partner unit was $2.29 for the first nine months of 2009, compared with $2.65 for the first nine months of 2008. Distributable cash flow for limited-partner

unitholders was $120.6 million for the first nine months of 2009, compared with $139.3 million for the same period in 2008.
The 2009 amounts were significantly, favorably impacted by Williams’ (NYSE: WMB) waiver of its incentive distribution rights for 2009. The waiver, which was detailed in the partnership’s April 15, 2009, press release, decreases the amount of distributable cash flow allocated to the general partner.
Although distributable cash flow is down compared to 2008 for the year-to-date period, it has significantly improved throughout 2009, and is up 97 percent over second-quarter 2009. The partnership’s cash distribution coverage ratio was 1.80x for third-quarter 2009, which included the benefit of Williams’ IDR waiver. Without that benefit, the partnership’s cash distribution coverage ratio would have been 1.48x for third-quarter 2009.
The year-over-year declines in distributable cash flow in the 2009 periods are due to lower cash distributions from the Discovery and Wamsutter investments, as well as lower results from Four Corners. Lower NGL margins drove the decline in results at Four Corners and Wamsutter.
As a result of 2008 hurricane impacts and sharply lower NGL margins, Discovery did not make cash distributions to the partnership earlier in the year. However, Discovery was fully operational for third-quarter 2009 and paid the partnership an $11.1 million cash distribution in September.
Partnership Strengthens Outlook for 2009 DCF, Distribution Coverage
Williams Partners’ management is updating its outlook for full-year 2009 commodity price assumptions and the corresponding effect on select partnership results to reflect year-to-date results and the outlook for the fourth quarter.
The partnership’s outlook for 2009 distributable cash flow and cash distribution coverage ratio have both been increased compared with previous guidance, which was issued on Aug. 6. The full commodity price outlook and guidance are presented in the following chart.

Chief Operating Officer Perspective
“The partnership turned in a very strong performance in the third quarter, as NGL margins have continued to improve and gathering and equity sales volumes were strong across all of our gathering and processing businesses,” said Alan Armstrong, chief operating officer of the general partner of Williams Partners.
“Our well connect program in the West helped drive a 7 percent increase in gathered volumes at Wamsutter during the quarter; and the new Tahiti volumes, as well as full recovery from the ’08 hurricane effects, led to a 51 percent increase in plant inlet volumes at Discovery,” Armstrong said.
“Our strong performance in the second half of the year will also enable us to pursue some small organic growth opportunities and small bolt-on acquisitions,” Armstrong said.
Business Segment Performance
Business segment performance includes results for the partnership’s three business segments: Gathering and Processing — West, which includes Four Corners and the Wamsutter investment; Gathering and Processing — Gulf, which includes the Discovery investment; and NGL Services, which includes the Conway fractionation and storage complex.

Lower per-unit NGL margins at Four Corners drove the lower results for the Gathering & Processing — West segment during the third quarter. Lower operating and maintenance expenses at Four Corners, as well as higher equity earnings from Wamsutter partially offset the lower NGL margins. The lower operating and maintenance expenses at Four Corners were primarily due to lower system losses.
The higher third-quarter equity earnings from Wamsutter were due to a higher allocation of Wamsutter’s net income to the partnership in 2009 compared with 2008. Based on the provisions of Wamsutter’s LLC agreement, Williams Partners’ share of Wamsutter’s net income varies depending on its year-to-date net income for a given period and the partnership’s overall level of ownership. This higher allocation offset the decrease in Wamsutter’s total net income.
Higher third-quarter equity earnings from the Discovery investment drove the higher segment profit in the Gathering and Processing — Gulf segment for the third-quarter of 2009. Discovery’s third-quarter 2008 equity earnings were reduced by approximately $5.0 million as a result of hurricane-related damages and downtime.
Lower per-unit NGL margins at Four Corners and lower equity earnings from Wamsutter were the key drivers of the lower year-to-date results in the Gathering and Processing — West segment. Lower per-unit NGL margins led to the lower equity earnings at Wamsutter.
Downtime at Ignacio due to the June 2009 pipeline rupture also negatively affected the year-to-date results. Lower operating and maintenance expenses at Four Corners, as well as higher fee-based revenues at Wamsutter on higher gathering volumes partially offset the lower NGL margins. The lower operating and maintenance expenses at Four Corners were primarily due to lower system losses.
Lower equity earnings from the Discovery investment drove the lower segment profit results in the Gathering and Processing — Gulf segment for the year-to-date 2009 period. The reduced equity earnings were due primarily to lower per-unit NGL margins and lower plant inlet volumes as both Discovery and its producers
Williams Partners L.P. (NYSE: WPZ) Third-Quarter 2009 Financial Results - Oct. 29, 2009 | Page 5 of 8 |
worked to recover from the 2008 hurricane damage. These negative impacts were partially offset in the year-to-date period by the receipt of $4.2 million in business interruption insurance proceeds on the Discovery investment during the first quarter.

Definitions of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Williams Partners defines recurring segment profit as segment profit excluding items of income or loss that the partnership characterizes as unrepresentative of its ongoing operations.
Williams Partners defines distributable cash flow attributable to partnership operations as net income (loss) plus depreciation, amortization and accretion, less earnings from equity investments, as well as adjustments for certain non-cash, non-recurring items, plus reimbursements from Williams under an omnibus agreement and less maintenance capital expenditures, plus the actual cash distributed by Wamsutter and Discovery.
Distributable cash flow per weighted average limited-partner unit is a key measure of the partnership’s financial performance and available cash flows to unitholders. Williams Partners defines distributable cash flow per limited-partner unit as distributable cash flow attributable to partnership operations allocable to limited partners divided by the weighted average limited partner-units outstanding. Distributable cash flow attributable to partnership operations allocable to limited partners is calculated by allocating the distributable cash flow attributable to partnership operations, as defined in the preceding paragraph, between the general partner and the limited partners in accordance with the cash-distribution provisions of our partnership agreement.
Williams Partners calculates the ratio of distributable cash flow per limited partner unit to the actual cash distribution per unit paid and the ratio of distributable cash flow attributable to partnership operations to the total cash distributed (cash distribution coverage ratio). These two measures reflect the amount of distributable cash flow relative to the partnership’s actual cash distribution on both a per limited partner unit and total distribution basis.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures
(UNAUDITED)
(UNAUDITED)
This press release includes certain financial measures, Recurring Segment Profit, Distributable Cash Flow and Distributable Cash Flow per Limited Partner Unit that are non-GAAP financial measures as defined under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
For Williams Partners L.P., Recurring Segment Profit excludes items of income or loss that we characterize as unrepresentative of our ongoing operations. Management believes Recurring Segment Profit provides investors meaningful insight into Williams Partners L.P.’s results from ongoing operations.
For Williams Partners L.P. we define Distributable Cash Flow attributable to partnership operations as net income (loss) plus depreciation, amortization and accretion, less our earnings from equity investments, as well as adjustments for certain non-cash, non-recurring items, plus reimbursements from Williams under an omnibus agreement and less maintenance capital expenditures, plus the actual cash distributed by Wamsutter and Discovery. For our equity investments, Wamsutter and Discovery, we define Distributable Cash Flow as net income (loss) plus depreciation, amortization and accretion and less maintenance capital expenditures. We also adjust for certain non-cash, non-recurring items. Our equity share of Wamsutter’s Distributable Cash Flow is based on the distribution provisions of the Wamsutter LLC Agreement. Our equity share of Discovery’s Distributable Cash Flow is 60%.
For Williams Partners L.P. we define Distributable Cash Flow per Limited Partner Unit as Distributable Cash Flow attributable to partnership operations allocable to limited partners divided by the weighted average limited partner units outstanding. Distributable Cash Flow attributable to partnership operations allocable to limited partners is calculated by allocating the distributable cash flow attributable to partnership operations, as defined in the preceding paragraph, between the general partner and the limited partners in accordance with the cash distribution provisions of our partnership agreement.
For Williams Partners L.P. we also calculate the ratio of Distributable Cash Flow per Limited Partner Unit to the actual cash distribution per unit paid and the ratio of Distributable Cash Flow attributable to partnership operations to the total cash distributed (cash distribution coverage ratio). These measures reflect the amount of Distributable Cash Flow relative to our cash distribution on both a per Limited Partner Unit and total distribution basis. We have also provided these ratios calculated using the most directly comparable GAAP measures, net income per unit and net income.
This press release is accompanied by a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their nearest GAAP financial measures. Management uses these financial measures because they are accepted financial indicators used by investors to compare company performance. In addition, management believes that these measures provide investors an enhanced perspective of the operating performance of the Partnership’s assets and the cash that the business is generating. Neither Recurring Segment Profit nor Distributable Cash Flow are intended to represent cash flows for the period, nor are they presented as an alternative to net income (loss) or cash flow from operations. Distributable Cash Flow per Limited Partner is not presented as an alternative to net income per unit. They should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for a measure of performance prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles.

The Net income, per common and subordinated unit for 2008 amounts have been retrospectively adjusted for new guidance regarding the application of the two-class method to calculate earnings per unit for Master Limited Partnerships, which states, among other things, that the calculation of earnings per unit should not reflect an allocation of undistributed earnings to the incentive distribution right (IDR) holders beyond amounts distributable to IDR holders under the terms of the partnership agreement. Previously, under generally accepted accounting principles, we calculated earnings per unit as if all the earnings for the period had been distributed, which resulted in an additional allocation of income to the general partner (the IDR holder) in quarterly periods where an assumed incentive distribution exceeded the actual incentive distribution. Following the adoption of this guidance, we no longer calculate assumed incentive distributions. We adopted this guidance in January 2009, and have retrospectively applied it to all periods presented.
