“Enterprise had a successful second quarter and reported resilient financial results despite the impacts of lower prices for crude oil, natural gas, NGLs and petrochemicals as a result of uneven global economic and manufacturing activity due in part to higher interest rates,” said A.J. “Jim” Teague, co-chief executive officer of Enterprise’s general partner. “During the quarter, we established several operational records, including natural gas pipeline volumes, NGL fractionation volumes and 11.9 million equivalent barrels per day of total pipeline volumes. We completed construction and began operations on $2.5 billion of organic growth projects that will begin generating new sources of cash flow for the partnership. We also increased the partnership’s cash distribution by 5.3 percent, to an annualized rate of $2.00 per common unit, compared to the payout a year ago. We are grateful and proud of Enterprise’s history of consistently returning capital to our limited partners with 2023 representing 25 consecutive years of distribution growth.”

“We reported both total gross operating margin and Adjusted EBITDA of $2.2 billion for the second quarter of 2023 compared to $2.4 billion for the second quarter of last year. While we earned higher revenues from increases in volumes across our NGL, natural gas and crude oil businesses, this was more than offset by the effects of lower natural gas processing margins due to a 48 percent decrease in NGL prices, lower revenues on our EFS Midstream System as a result of the expiration of minimum volume commitments at the end of June 2022, and lower sales margins and volumes in our propylene and octane enhancement businesses,” stated Teague.

“Since the beginning of the second quarter, we completed construction and placed into service four major projects:

  • a 400 MMcf/d expansion of the Haynesville Extension of the Acadian natural gas pipeline system,
  • our Poseidon cryogenic natural gas processing plant in the Midland Basin,
  • our 12th NGL fractionator in Chambers County, Texas, and
  • our second propane dehydrogenation plant (“PDH 2”) in Chambers County.

We have another $4.1 billion of major organic growth projects still under construction. We are on schedule to complete our Mentone II natural gas processing plant in the Delaware Basin in the fourth quarter of this year and the first phase of our Texas Western products pipeline system at the end of 2023,” said Teague.

Gross operating margin from Enterprise’s EFS Midstream System decreased $82 million for the second quarter of 2023 compared to the second quarter of 2022, primarily due to lower deficiency revenues as a result of the expiration of minimum volume commitments at the end of June 2022 associated with certain long-term gathering agreements entered into at the time Enterprise acquired this system and lower average transportation fees. The EFS Midstream System continues to transport volumes produced from dedicated acreage through the remaining term of these agreements.

Gross operating margin from the South Texas Crude Oil Pipeline System decreased $30 million for the second quarter of 2023 compared to the second quarter of 2022, primarily due to lower ancillary service and other revenues, deficiency revenues and average transportation fees.

Within the context of this table, total segment gross operating margin represents a subtotal and corresponds to measures similarly titled within the financial statement footnotes provided in our quarterly and annual filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

(6)

Gross operating margin by segment for NGL Pipelines & Services and Crude Oil Pipelines & Services reflects adjustments for non-refundable deferred transportation revenues relating to the make-up rights of committed shippers on certain major pipeline projects. These adjustments are included in managements’ evaluation of segment results. However, these adjustments are excluded from non-GAAP total gross operating margin in compliance with guidance from the SEC.

The weighted-average indicative market price for NGLs (based on prices for such products at Mont Belvieu, Texas, which is the primary industry hub for domestic NGL production) was $0.55 per gallon during the second quarter of 2023 versus $1.06 per gallon during the second quarter of 2022. Fluctuations in our consolidated revenues and cost of sales amounts are explained in large part by changes in energy commodity prices. An increase in our consolidated marketing revenues due to higher energy commodity sales prices may not result in an increase in gross operating margin or cash available for distribution, since our consolidated cost of sales amounts would also be expected to increase due to comparable increases in the purchase prices of the underlying energy commodities. The same type of relationship would be true in the case of lower energy commodity sales prices and purchase costs.

FCF is a non-GAAP measure of how much cash a business generates after accounting for capital expenditures such as plants or pipelines. Additionally, Adjusted FCF is a non-GAAP measure of how much cash a business generates, excluding the net effect of changes in operating accounts, after accounting for capital expenditures. We believe that FCF is important to traditional investors since it reflects the amount of cash available for reducing debt, investing in additional capital projects and/or paying distributions. We believe that Adjusted FCF is also important to traditional investors for the same reasons as FCF, without regard for fluctuations caused by timing of when amounts earned or incurred were collected, received or paid from period to period. Since we partner with other companies to fund certain capital projects of our consolidated subsidiaries, our determination of FCF and Adjusted FCF appropriately reflect the amount of cash contributed from and distributed to noncontrolling interests.

Adjusted CFFO is a non-GAAP measure that represents net cash flow provided by operating activities before the net effect of changes in operating accounts, as summarized from the Company’s Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. We believe that it is important to consider this non-GAAP measure as it can often be a better way to measure the amount of cash generated from our operations that can be used to fund our capital investments or return value to our investors through cash distributions and buybacks, without regard for fluctuations caused by timing of when amounts earned or incurred were collected, received or paid from period to period.

Sustaining capital expenditures are capital expenditures (as defined by GAAP) resulting from improvements to and major renewals of existing assets. Such expenditures serve to maintain existing operations but do not generate additional revenues.

DCF is an important non-GAAP liquidity measure for our common unitholders since it serves as an indicator of our success in providing a cash return on investment. Specifically, this liquidity measure indicates to investors whether or not we are generating cash flows at a level that can sustain or support an increase in our quarterly cash distributions. DCF is also a quantitative standard used by the investment community with respect to publicly traded partnerships because the value of a partnership unit is, in part, measured by its yield, which is based on the amount of cash distributions a partnership can pay to a common unitholder.

Excludes amortization of major maintenance costs for reaction-based plants, which are a component of Adjusted EBITDA.

Adjusted EBITDA is commonly used as a supplemental financial measure by our management and external users of our financial statements, such as investors, commercial banks, research analysts and rating agencies, to assess the financial performance of our assets without regard to financing methods, capital structures or historical cost basis; the ability of our assets to generate cash sufficient to pay interest and support our indebtedness; and the viability of projects and the overall rates of return on alternative investment opportunities.

Since Adjusted EBITDA excludes some, but not all, items that affect net income or loss and because these measures may vary among other companies, the Adjusted EBITDA data presented in this press release may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. The GAAP measure most directly comparable to Adjusted EBITDA is net cash flow provided by operating activities.

Excludes amortization of major maintenance costs for reaction-based plants, which are a component of gross operating margin.

We evaluate segment performance based on our financial measure of gross operating margin. Gross operating margin is an important performance measure of the core profitability of our operations and forms the basis of our internal financial reporting. We believe that investors benefit from having access to the same financial measures that our management uses in evaluating segment results.

The term “total gross operating margin” represents GAAP operating income exclusive of (i) depreciation, amortization and accretion expenses (excluding amortization of major maintenance costs for reaction-based plants), (ii) impairment charges, (iii) gains and losses attributable to asset sales and related matters, and (iv) general and administrative costs. Total gross operating margin includes equity in the earnings of unconsolidated affiliates, but is exclusive of other income and expense transactions, income taxes, the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles and extraordinary charges. Total gross operating margin is presented on a 100 percent basis before any allocation of earnings to noncontrolling interests. The GAAP financial measure most directly comparable to total gross operating margin is operating income.

Total gross operating margin excludes amounts attributable to shipper make-up rights as described in footnote (6) to Exhibit A of this press release.
