BUCKEYE PARTNERS, L.P. REPORTS FINANCIAL RESULTS
FOR 2013 FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL YEAR
Announces Increase In Cash Distribution
HOUSTON, February 7, 2014 — Buckeye Partners, L.P. (“Buckeye”) (NYSE: BPL) today reported its financial results for the fourth quarter and full year 2013. Buckeye reported income from continuing operations for the fourth quarter of 2013 of $87.5 million compared to income from continuing operations for the fourth quarter of 2012 of $32.5 million, which included an asset impairment charge of $60.0 million relating to ceasing operations on a portion of Buckeye’s NORCO pipeline system.
Income from continuing operations attributable to Buckeye’s unitholders was $0.75 per diluted unit for the fourth quarter of 2013 compared to $0.32 per diluted unit for the fourth quarter 2012. The diluted weighted average of units outstanding in the fourth quarter of 2013 was 114.1 million compared to 98.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2012. The increase in units is primarily the result of two unit offerings during 2013, which reduced outstanding borrowings and funded a portion of the Hess terminals acquisition.
Adjusted EBITDA (as defined below) from continuing operations for the fourth quarter of 2013 was $178.6 million compared to $165.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2012.
“We realized a significant benefit this quarter from growth capital investments across our businesses,” said Clark C. Smith, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Recent investments have delivered both incremental cash flow and product diversification, as we have expanded our crude oil rail capabilities, increased our butane blending capacity across new locations, and improved our service offerings around propylene and diluent storage and logistics. Operations were also initiated at the newly refurbished truck rack as part of our ongoing transformation of our Perth Amboy terminal. We enjoyed the first full quarter of contribution from the most recent phase of expansion at our BORCO facility, which added over 1 million barrels of heavy crude oil storage that is fully contracted. In addition, we saw significant volume improvement compared to prior year, as pipeline volumes and terminal throughout volumes increased by 5.8% and 6.8%, respectively,” continued Mr. Smith. “We also are continuing the integration of the recently acquired Hess terminals and realized a meaningful contribution, excluding transaction- and transition-related costs, from these assets for the short period of time we have owned them.”
Distributable cash flow (as defined below) from continuing operations for the fourth quarter of 2013 was $117.8 million compared to $118.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2012. Buckeye also reported distribution coverage of 0.94 times for the fourth quarter of 2013. “The timing of the equity issuance to
fund the Hess terminals acquisition adversely impacted coverage for the quarter and the year. Distributions were declared for these units in both the third and fourth quarter yet we only realized cash flow from the Hess terminal assets for 21 days,” commented Mr. Smith. “Distributable cash flow for the fourth quarter of 2013 was also impacted by higher maintenance capital expenditures, the result of the timing of our 2013 capital spending and an increase in interest expense, as a result of two long-term debt offerings. Conversely, distributable cash flow for the year ago quarter benefited from lower capital spending primarily the result of cancelled maintenance projects related to the fourth quarter idling of the NORCO line.” Maintenance capital expenditures for the fourth quarter of 2013 were $27.3 million compared to $18.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2012 and interest and debt expense, excluding certain non-cash items, for the fourth quarter of 2013 was $33.3 million compared to $29.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2012.
Full Year Results. For 2013, Buckeye reported income from continuing operations of $351.6 million compared to income from continuing operations for 2012 of $235.9 million, which included the NORCO asset impairment charge.
Income from continuing operations attributable to Buckeye’s unitholders was $3.23 per diluted unit for 2013 compared to $2.37 per diluted unit for 2012. The diluted weighted average of units outstanding for 2013 was 107.7 million compared to 97.6 million for 2012. The increase in units is primarily the result of two unit offerings during 2013.
For 2013, Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations was $648.8 million compared to $552.4 million for 2012. For 2013, distributable cash flow from continuing operations was $454.2 million compared to $385.8 million for 2012. Buckeye reported distribution coverage of 0.99 times for 2013. Maintenance capital expenditures for 2013 were $71.5 million compared with $54.1 million for 2012.
“We believe we are well-positioned to generate excellent financial results in 2014,” stated Mr. Smith. “We will continue to realize the benefits from the ongoing growth capital investments we make across our asset footprint in 2014 along with the substantial contribution from the Hess terminals acquisition.”
Discontinued Operations. Buckeye’s Board of Directors approved a plan in December to divest its non-core Natural Gas Storage business. Buckeye expects to complete the disposition of this business and its assets in 2014. In addition, Buckeye recorded an asset impairment charge of $169.0 million relating to discontinuing the Natural Gas Storage business. This business has been classified as discontinued operations in its consolidated financial statements.
Business Segments. Buckeye also announced today changes to its operating structure and related reporting segments to better align its businesses with its long-term growth strategies. “As we focused on integrating the terminals acquired from Hess, we took the opportunity to reassess our existing business unit classifications. We realigned our business units to optimize the growth opportunities by leveraging the efforts, skills and synergies related to our management, commercial, operating and financial reporting activities. We believe this realignment will allow us to maximize growth opportunities in all four of our segments,” said Mr. Smith.
The new Global Marine Terminals segment includes our assets that primarily facilitate global flows of crude oil, refined petroleum products and other commodities, offering our customers connectivity to some of the world’s most important bulk storage and blending hubs. This segment features the flexibility of large-volume, multi-product segregated tankage and offers heating, blending and marine services while enabling synergies among the different facilities. These terminals establish for Buckeye a
platform for new growth opportunities in the global marine markets. This segment includes key hubs in the Caribbean at our BORCO facility, Yabucoa terminal and the St. Lucia terminal acquired from Hess, as well as in the New York Harbor at the legacy Perth Amboy terminal and the Port Reading and Raritan Bay terminals acquired from Hess. Khalid A. Muslih, formerly President of the International Operations business unit, will serve as President of the new Global Marine Terminals business unit.
Buckeye’s Merchant Services segment centralizes all existing and new merchant activities to leverage common mid- and back-office support. This segment includes the legacy Energy Services segment, the Caribbean fuel oil supply and distribution business and new merchant activities supporting the terminals recently acquired from Hess. Jeremiah J. Ashcroft III continues as President of the Buckeye Services business unit, which includes the new Merchant Services segment as well as the Development & Logistics segment, which is unchanged.
Buckeye’s Pipelines & Terminals segment is comprised of the legacy domestic terminals combined with the domestic terminals acquired from Hess in Upstate New York, the Middle Atlantic, the Southeast, including Florida, and the New York Harbor, excluding the Port Reading and Raritan Bay terminals. The Domestic Pipelines & Terminals business unit, which is Buckeye’s largest, remains under the leadership of Robert A. Malecky.
Cash Distribution. Buckeye also announced today that its general partner declared a cash distribution of $1.0875 per limited partner unit (“LP Unit”) for the quarter ended December 31, 2013. The distribution will be payable on February 25, 2014, to unitholders of record on February 18, 2014. This cash distribution represents a 4.8 percent increase over the $1.0375 per LP Unit distribution declared for the fourth quarter of 2012. For 2013, Buckeye declared distributions of $4.275 LP Unit, which represents a 3.0 percent increase over the $4.15 per LP Unit for 2012. Buckeye has paid cash distributions in each quarter since its formation in 1986.

Adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow are measures not defined by GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA is the primary measure used by our senior management, including our Chief Executive Officer, to (i) evaluate our consolidated operating performance and the operating performance of our business segments, (ii) allocate resources and capital to business segments, (iii) evaluate the viability of proposed projects, and (iv) determine overall rates of return on alternative investment opportunities. Distributable cash flow is another measure used by our senior management to provide a clearer picture of Buckeye’s cash available for distribution to its unitholders. Adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow eliminate (i) non-cash expenses, including, but not limited to, depreciation and amortization expense resulting from the significant capital investments we make in our businesses and from intangible assets recognized in business combinations, (ii) charges for obligations expected to be settled with the issuance of equity instruments, and (iii) items that are not indicative of our core operating performance results and business outlook.
Buckeye believes that investors benefit from having access to the same financial measures used by senior management and that these measures are useful to investors because they aid in comparing Buckeye’s operating performance with that of other companies with similar operations. The Adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow data presented by Buckeye may not be comparable to similarly titled measures at other companies because these items may be defined differently by other companies. Please see the attached reconciliations of each of Adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow to net income.

(1) Historical segment amounts previously reported have been restated to conform to our new reporting structure. Additional changes in previously reported amounts are due to the following items:
· In December 2013, the Board of Directors of Buckeye GP approved a plan to divest our Natural Gas Storage segment and its related assets as we no longer believe this business is aligned with our long-term business strategy. Therefore, assets and liabilities related to the former Natural Gas Storage segment were classified as “Assets held for sale” and “Liabilities held for sale”, respectively, as of December 31, 2013 and we have reported the results of operations as discontinued operations for all periods presented.
· Reclassifications of operating and general and administrative expenses among our segments. The reclassification impacted Adjusted EBITDA by segment, however, had no impact on total Adjusted EBITDA.
