TEPPCO PARTNERS, L.P. REPORTS THIRD QUARTER 2004 RESULTS

 

HOUSTON – TEPPCO Partners, L.P. (NYSE:TPP) today reported net income for third quarter 2004 of $25.9 million, or $0.29 per unit, compared with net income of $30.5 million, or $0.36 per unit for third quarter 2003. Net income for the nine months ended Sept. 30, 2004, was $104.1 million, or $1.18 per unit, compared with $98.4 million, or $1.21 per unit for the nine months ended Sept. 30, 2003. The three month and nine month periods ended Sept. 30, 2004, include a non-cash asset impairment charge of $4.4 million.

 

The weighted-average number of Limited Partner units outstanding for third quarter and nine months ended Sept. 30, 2004, was 63 million for both periods, compared with 60.5 million and 58.7 million Limited Partner and Class B Units, respectively, for the corresponding 2003 periods. The weighted-average number of Limited Partner units outstanding reflects 5.3 million units issued during third quarter 2003.

 

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) was $78.9 million for third quarter 2004, compared with $78.6 million in third quarter 2003. EBITDA was $257.9 million for the nine months ended Sept. 30, 2004, compared with $250.6 million in the prior year period.

“TEPPCO’s volumes and revenues were essentially in line with our expectations in each of our business segments during the third quarter. However, our overall results were impacted by an impairment charge for our marine terminal at Beaumont, Texas, and several operating, general and administrative cost variances,” said Barry R. Pearl, president and chief executive officer of the general partner of TEPPCO.

 

“We do not believe that our third quarter results are indicative of the ongoing performance of the Partnership. We anticipate improved fourth quarter results as we expect to benefit from our expanded propane capacity serving Northeast markets, increased gas gathering volumes at Jonah and continued solid performance of our upstream segment,” said Pearl.

 

“Our current forecast for the full year 2004 calls for EBITDA to be in the range of $340 million to $360 million and earnings between $1.50 per unit and $1.73 per unit,” added Pearl.

 

OPERATING RESULTS BY BUSINESS SEGMENT

 

Upstream Segment

The upstream segment includes crude oil transportation, storage, gathering and marketing activities; and distribution of lubrication oils and specialty chemicals.

 

Operating income for the upstream segment was $4.8 million for third quarter 2004, compared with $5.9 million for third quarter 2003. The decrease in operating income was primarily due to increased pipeline integrity management costs and depreciation expense resulting from the Genesis assets acquired in November 2003, partially offset by increased transportation margins primarily due to the Genesis assets and additional connections made on our South Texas system in 2004.

For the nine months ended Sept. 30, 2004, upstream operating income was $23.3 million, compared with $21.2 million for the corresponding 2003 period, which included a $3.9 million gain on the sale of assets. Increased crude oil transportation margins primarily from the Genesis assets, favorable settlement of past crude oil imbalances and increased terminal services activity at Cushing, Okla., were partially offset by increased pipeline integrity costs, power costs, labor costs and depreciation expense resulting primarily from the Genesis acquisition.

 

Equity earnings from the investment in Seaway Crude Pipeline were $5.9 million in third quarter 2004, compared with $7.2 million for third quarter 2003. The decrease resulted from increased operating, general and administrative expenses and lower gains on crude oil inventory sales, partially offset by increased volumes in the 2004 period. For the nine months ended Sept. 30, 2004, equity earnings from Seaway were $25 million, compared with $20.4 million for the corresponding 2003 period. The year-to-date increase in 2004 was primarily due to increased long-haul volumes and gains on inventory sales. Long-haul volumes on Seaway averaged 263,000 barrels per day in third quarter 2004, compared with 247,000 barrels per day for third quarter 2003, and 257,000 barrels per day for the nine months ended Sept. 30, 2004, compared with 201,000 barrels per day for the corresponding 2003 period.

 

Midstream Segment

The midstream segment includes natural gas gathering services, and storage, transportation and fractionation of natural gas liquids (NGLs).

 

Operating income for the midstream segment was $19.5 million for third quarter 2004, compared with $21.8 million for third quarter 2003. The decrease was primarily due to lower gathering volumes and revenues on Val Verde, accelerated maintenance expenditures at Val Verde to accommodate expected incremental volumes from an

 

3

 

adjacent gathering system, increased power costs on the Chaparral system and increased depreciation expense on Jonah as a result of assets placed in service in 2003, increased labor and benefits expense, increased accruals for gas imbalance settlements and consulting services related to compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Midstream results were positively impacted by increased natural gas gathering volumes, gas processing fees and condensate sales on the Jonah system attributable to an expansion completed in fourth quarter 2003.

 

For the nine months ended Sept. 30, 2004, operating income was $57 million, compared with $59.9 million for the corresponding 2003 period. The decrease in operating income was primarily due to lower gathering volumes and revenues on Val Verde, increased accruals for gas imbalance settlements, increased pipeline maintenance and repair costs, increased depreciation expense on Jonah as a result of assets placed in service in 2003, increased general and administrative and labor expenses, increased power costs on Chaparral and consulting and contract services related to compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. These increases were partially offset by increased gathering, gas processing and condensate sales revenues on the Jonah system as noted above, decreased amortization expense on Jonah as a result of an extension in the expected amortization period in 2003 and decreased amortization expense on Val Verde as a result of lower gathering volumes.

 

Downstream Segment

The downstream segment includes the transportation and storage of refined products, liquefied petroleum gases (LPGs) and petrochemicals.

 

Downstream operating income was $12.8 million for third quarter 2004, compared with $17.6 million for third quarter 2003. The decrease resulted primarily from higher depreciation expense attributable to the asset impairment charge related to our

 

4

 

Beaumont marine terminal. During third quarter 2004, we completed an evaluation of the marine terminal, which indicated that the docks and other assets at the facility needed extensive work to continue to be commercially operational. As a result, we performed an impairment test on the entire marine facility and recorded a $4.4 million non-cash impairment charge.

 

In addition, third quarter downstream earnings were impacted by increased depreciation expense related to new assets placed in service, decreased LPG revenues due to lower long-haul propane deliveries resulting from downtime at certain terminals, caused by pipeline integrity and expansion projects, and high propane prices which caused consumers to delay winter inventory purchases, increased pipeline integrity, power and labor costs and costs associated with compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. These were partially offset by the recognition of $4.1 million of deferred revenue related to the expiration of two customer transportation agreements, increased refined products revenue, primarily due to higher average tariffs, and increased terminal revenues.

 

For the nine months ended Sept. 30, 2004, operating income was $53.1 million, compared with $63.5 million for the corresponding 2003 period. The decrease in operating income was largely due to increased operating expenses, primarily pipeline integrity costs, increased depreciation expense from the asset impairment noted above and from new assets placed in service during the period, decreased LPG revenues, primarily from lower long-haul propane deliveries resulting from warm winter weather and the third quarter factors outlined above, increases in rental expense as a result of higher throughput, and consulting and contract services related to compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. These were partially offset by increased refined products transportation volumes, $4.1 million of deferred revenue recognized in third quarter 2004 as noted above, increased terminal and inventory management services income and gains on product inventory sales.

The equity loss from unconsolidated investments totaled $0.3 million for third quarter 2004, compared with an equity loss of $1.4 million for third quarter 2003. For the nine months ended Sept. 30, 2004, the equity loss from unconsolidated investments totaled $2.1 million, compared with an equity loss of $2.6 million for the corresponding 2003 period.

 

Equity earnings from Mont Belvieu Storage Partners, L.P. totaled $1.5 million and $1.6 million during third quarter 2004 and 2003, respectively. Equity earnings from Mont Belvieu Storage Partners totaled $5.9 million and $5.4 million during the nine months ended Sept. 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The increased equity earnings in the first nine months of 2004 resulted primarily from increased storage revenues due to the acquisition of storage assets in April 2004.

 

Equity losses from Centennial Pipeline totaled $1.8 million and $3 million during third quarter 2004 and 2003, respectively, and $8 million during both nine month periods ended Sept. 30, 2004 and 2003. Included in the equity loss for the quarter and nine month periods ended Sept. 30, 2004, is $1.7 million of equity income relating to the settlement of certain transmix valuation matters recognized in previous periods.

 

INTEREST EXPENSE

 

Third quarter 2004 interest expense – net was $17.1 million, including capitalized interest of $1.4 million. Interest expense – net was $20.5 million for third quarter 2003, including capitalized interest of $1.8 million. For the nine months ended Sept. 30, 2004, interest expense – net was $53.2 million, including capitalized interest of $3.8 million. Interest expense – net was $64.4 million for the nine months ended Sept. 30, 2003, including capitalized interest of $3.4 million. The decrease in interest expense in the

 

6

 

third quarter and in the first nine months of 2004 was primarily due to a lower percentage of fixed rate debt, which carried a higher rate of interest than the current floating interest rates.

 

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

 

The Financial Highlights table accompanying this earnings release and other disclosures herein include references to EBITDA, which may be viewed as a non-GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) measure under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). We define EBITDA as net income plus interest expense – net, depreciation and amortization, and a pro rata portion, based on our equity ownership, of the interest expense and depreciation and amortization of each of our joint ventures. We have included EBITDA as a supplemental disclosure because we believe EBITDA is used by our investors as a supplemental financial measure in the evaluation of our business. A reconciliation of EBITDA to net income is provided in the Financial Highlights table.

 

We believe EBITDA provides useful information regarding the performance of our assets without regard to financing methods, capital structures or historical costs basis. EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income, as an indicator of our operating performance or as a measure of liquidity, including as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities or other cash flow data calculated in accordance with GAAP. Our EBITDA may not be comparable to EBITDA of other entities because other entities may not calculate EBITDA in the same manner as we do.

 

Information in the accompanying Operating Data table includes margin of the upstream segment, which may be viewed as a non-GAAP financial measure under the rules of the SEC. Margin is calculated as revenues generated from the sale of crude oil and

 

7

 

lubrication oil, and transportation of crude oil, less the costs of purchases of crude oil and lubrication oil. We believe margin is a more meaningful measure of financial performance than operating revenues and operating expenses due to the significant fluctuations in revenues and expenses caused by variations in the level of marketing activity and prices for products marketed. A reconciliation of margin to operating revenues and operating expenses is provided in the Operating Data table accompanying this earnings release.
