DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 7, 2012--
MarkWest Energy Partners, L.P. (NYSE: MWE) (the Partnership) today
reported quarterly cash available for distribution to common
unitholders, or distributable cash flow (DCF), of $104.3 million for the
three months ended September 30, 2012, and $304.6 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 2012. Distributable cash flow for the three
months ended September 30, 2012, represents distribution coverage of 109
percent. The third quarter distribution of $95.3 million, or $0.81 per
common unit, will be paid to unitholders on November 14, 2012. The third
quarter 2012 distribution represents an increase of $0.01 per common
unit, or 1.3 percent, over the second quarter 2012 distribution and an
increase of $0.08 per common unit, or 11.0 percent, over the third
quarter 2011 distribution. As a Master Limited Partnership, cash
distributions to common unitholders are largely determined based on DCF.
A reconciliation of DCF to net income, the most directly comparable GAAP
financial measure, is provided within the financial tables of this press
release.
The Partnership reported Adjusted EBITDA for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 2012, of $108.2 million and $371.7 million,
respectively, as compared to $107.0 million and $323.2 million for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2011. The Partnership believes
the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information because
it is commonly used by investors in Master Limited Partnerships to
assess financial performance and operating results of ongoing business
operations. A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income, the most
directly comparable GAAP financial measure, is provided within the
financial tables of this press release.
The Partnership reported (loss) income before provision for income tax
for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, of $(22.2)
million and $230.3 million, respectively. (Loss) income before provision
for income tax includes non-cash (loss) gain associated with the change
in mark-to-market of derivative instruments of $(43.7) million and
$101.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012,
respectively. Excluding these items, income before provision for income
tax for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, would have
been $21.5 million and $128.5 million, respectively.
“Our organic growth strategy continues to deliver solid financial
results and significant opportunities for future expansion and capital
investment,” said Frank Semple, Chairman, President and Chief Executive
Officer. “MarkWest’s diverse set of assets and focus on delivering high
quality customer service resulted in year over year volume increases of
over 20% and 11% distribution growth. In addition, our ongoing
development in the Marcellus Shale and the Utica Shale continues to
provide critical midstream infrastructure for our producer customers’
drilling programs and provides a significant inventory of future growth
projects.”
BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS
Business Development
-
Liberty: In July 2012, the Partnership announced a new long-term,
fee-based agreement with XTO Energy (XTO) to transport, fractionate
and market natural gas liquids (NGLs) from their 125 million cubic
feet per day (MMcf/d) processing plant located in Butler County,
Pennsylvania. NGLs will initially be transported by truck from XTO’s
plant to the Houston fractionation and marketing complex in Washington
County, Pennsylvania. By the end of 2013, an extension of the
Partnership’s NGL gathering pipeline into northwest Pennsylvania is
expected to be complete, which will connect the Keystone complex and
XTO facility to the Houston complex.
In September 2012, the
Partnership announced a 10-year agreement to become a firm shipper on
the Mariner East pipeline project (“Mariner East”) subject to final
regulatory approvals. Mariner East is currently designed to transport
ethane and propane sourced at the Partnership’s Houston complex to
Sunoco, Inc’s Marcus Hook facility located near Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania. Once delivered, the ethane-propane mix will be
re-fractionated into purity products for sale to domestic and
international markets.
During the third quarter, the
Partnership continued to transport propane from the Houston
fractionation complex to Marcus Hook for delivery to international
markets. Since the commencement of propane exports in July 2012, the
Partnership has marketed over 900,000 barrels. Total propane volumes
loaded onto ships at Marcus Hook include the Partnership’s volume and
purchased product sourced at Sunoco’s local-area facilities. The
Partnership anticipates the continuation of exports from Marcus Hook
as long as it is economically possible for our producer customers to
capture premium prices that currently exist in the international
markets.
In October 2012, the Partnership commenced
operations of the 200 MMcf/d Sherwood I processing facility and
associated gathering and compression in Doddridge County, West
Virginia. These assets are supported by a long-term, fee-based
agreement with Antero Resources. The initiation of Sherwood operations
represents the first phase of the Partnership’s development of
midstream infrastructure in Doddridge County. The Partnership expects
the Sherwood II facility, a 200 MMcf/d cryogenic processing plant, to
be operational in the second quarter of 2013.
In November
2012, the Partnership announced plans to further expand the processing
capacity at its Mobley complex in Wetzel County, West Virginia by 200
MMcf/d. This expansion is supported by an existing long-term,
fee-based agreement with EQT Corporation and is expected to be
completed in the fourth quarter of 2013.
-
Utica: In November 2012, MarkWest Utica EMG, LLC (MarkWest Utica) a
joint venture between MarkWest and The Energy and Minerals Group,
announced the execution of definitive agreements with Antero Resources
to provide gas processing, fractionation and marketing services in
Noble County, Ohio. Under long-term, fee-based agreements, MarkWest
Utica will initially bring online an interim 45 MMcf/d refrigeration
processing plant at its Seneca processing complex, with an expected
second quarter of 2013 completion date. This interim facility will be
followed by Seneca I, a 200 MMcf/d cryogenic gas processing facility,
which is expected to begin operations by the third quarter of 2013.
The definitive agreements contemplate the construction of additional
facility, Seneca II, a 200 MMcf/d cryogenic processing facility, which
may be installed as soon as the end of 2013. In addition to its Seneca
processing complex, MarkWest Utica will construct an NGL gathering
system to its Cadiz processing complex and then on to the Harrison
County, Ohio fractionation and marketing complex. The Cadiz complex
will include a de-ethanization facility where purity ethane will be
produced and delivered into the ATEX ethane pipeline. The propane and
heavier natural gas liquids will then flow via pipeline to the
Harrison County fractionator for further separation into purity
products. The completion of the NGL gathering system and fractionation
will provide Antero Resources direct market access to the planned
ethane and propane pipeline projects in the northeast.
-
Northeast: In October 2012, the Partnership commenced operations of
its 150 MMcf/d Langley processing plant expansion supporting
producers’ gas development in the Huron/Berea Shale. This expansion
increases the Partnership’s total processing capacity in the Northeast
Segment to 655 MMcf/d and further expands the Partnership’s position
as the largest natural gas processor in the Appalachian Basin.
-
Southwest: In September 2012, Centrahoma Processing, LLC a joint
venture between MarkWest and Cardinal Midstream, LLC in Southeast
Oklahoma agreed to construct a 120 MMcf/d processing plant expansion
in order to support drilling programs in the Woodford Shale. The plant
is expected to be operational in the fourth quarter of 2013.
Capital Markets
-
On August 10, 2012, the Partnership completed a public offering of
$750 million aggregate principal amount of 5.5% senior unsecured notes
due 2023 issued at 99.015% of par. The aggregate net proceeds of
approximately $731 million were used to repay borrowings under the
Partnership’s revolving credit facility, to partially fund the
Partnership’s capital expenditure program and for other general
partnership purposes.
-
On August 17, 2012, the Partnership completed a common unit equity
offering of 6.9 million common units. The net proceeds of approximately
$338 million were used to partially fund the Partnership’s capital
expenditure program and for other general partnership purposes.
FINANCIAL RESULTS
Balance Sheet
-
At September 30, 2012, the Partnership had $411.5 million of cash and
cash equivalents in wholly owned subsidiaries and $1.18 billion
available for borrowing under its $1.2 billion revolving credit
facility after consideration of $21.6 million of outstanding letters
of credit.
Operating Results
-
Operating income before items not allocated to segments for the three
months ended September 30, 2012, was $145.5 million, a decrease of
$2.3 million when compared to segment operating income of $147.8
million over the same period in 2011. This decrease was primarily
attributable to lower commodity prices compared to the prior year
quarter. Processed volumes continued to remain strong, growing over 20
percent when compared to the third quarter of 2011, primarily due to
the Partnership’s Liberty and Southwest segments.
A
reconciliation of operating income before items not allocated to
segments to income (loss) before provision for income tax, the most
directly comparable GAAP financial measure, is provided within the
financial tables of this press release.
-
Operating income before items not allocated to segments does not
include loss on commodity derivative instruments. Realized losses on
commodity derivative instruments were $8.4 million in the third
quarter of 2012 and $15.8 million in the third quarter of 2011.
Capital Expenditures
-
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, the
Partnership’s portion of capital expenditures was $603.7 million and
$1,185.9 million, respectively. These expenditures do not include the
Keystone purchase price of $509.6 million.
2012 DCF AND GROWTH CAPITAL EXPENDITURE FORECAST
For 2012, the Partnership forecasts DCF in a range of $410 million to
$430 million based on its current forecast of operational volumes and
prices for crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids; derivative
instruments currently outstanding; and the Keystone acquisition, as
mentioned above. The midpoint of this range results in approximately 117
percent coverage of the Partnership’s full-year distribution based on
current quarterly distributions and common units outstanding.
The Partnership’s portion of growth capital expenditures for 2012 has
increased primarily due to accelerated spending on key expansion
projects in the Marcellus Shale, and is forecasted to be approximately
$1.8 billion. This range excludes the Keystone purchase price of $509.6
million.
2013 DCF AND GROWTH CAPITAL EXPENDITURE FORECAST
For 2013, the Partnership forecasts DCF in a range of $500 million to
$575 million based on its current forecast of operational volumes and
prices for crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids; and
derivative instruments currently outstanding. The midpoint of this range
results in approximately 141 percent coverage of the Partnership’s
full-year distribution based on current quarterly distributions and
common units outstanding. A commodity price sensitivity analysis for
forecasted 2013 DCF is provided within the tables of this press release.
The Partnership’s portion of growth capital expenditures for 2013 is
forecasted in a range of $1.4 billion to $1.9 billion.

MarkWest Energy Partners, L.P. Distributable Cash Flow
Sensitivity Analysis (unaudited, in millions)
MarkWest periodically estimates the effect on DCF resulting from its
commodity risk management program, changes in crude oil and natural gas
prices, and the ratio of NGL prices to crude oil. The table below
reflects MarkWest’s estimate of the range of DCF for 2013 and forecasted
crude oil and natural gas prices for 2013. The analysis assumes various
combinations of crude oil and natural gas prices as well as three
NGL-to-crude oil ratio scenarios, including:
a. NGL-to-crude oil ratio at 60% for 2013. b. NGL-to-crude oil
ratio at 50% for 2013. c. NGL-to-crude oil ratio at 40% for 2013.
The analysis further assumes derivative instruments outstanding as of
November 2, 2012, and production volumes estimated through December 31,
2013. The range of stated hypothetical changes in commodity prices
considers current and historic market performance.

The composition is based on MarkWest’s average projected barrel of
approximately: Ethane: 35%, Propane: 35%, Iso-Butane: 6%, Normal
Butane: 12%, Natural Gasoline: 12%.
|
The table is based on current information, expectations, and beliefs
concerning future developments and their potential effects, and does not
consider actions MarkWest management may take to mitigate exposure to
changes. Nor does the table consider the effects that such hypothetical
adverse changes may have on overall economic activity. Historical prices
and ratios of NGL-to-crude oil do not guarantee future results.
Although MarkWest believes the expectations reflected in this analysis
are reasonable, MarkWest can give no assurance that such expectations
will prove to be correct and readers are cautioned that projected
performance, results, or distributions may not be achieved. Actual
changes in market prices, and the ratio between crude oil and NGL
prices, may differ from the assumptions utilized in the analysis. Actual
results, performance, distributions, volumes, events, or transactions
could vary significantly from those expressed, considered, or implied in
this analysis. All results, performance, distributions, volumes, events,
or transactions are subject to a number of uncertainties and risks.
Those uncertainties and risks may not be factored into or accounted for
in this analysis. Readers are urged to carefully review and consider the
cautionary statements and disclosures made in MarkWest’s periodic
reports filed with the SEC, specifically those under the heading “Risk
Factors.”
