CANONSBURG, Pa., Feb. 17, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- CONE Midstream Partners LP (NYSE: CNNX) ("CONE Midstream" or the "Partnership") today reported financial and operational results for the three months and the full year ending December 31, 2015.(1)  The Partnership also announced financial guidance for 2016.

Fourth Quarter Results

Highlights of fourth quarter 2015 results attributable to the Partnership as compared to the fourth quarter of 2014 include:

  • Net income of $22.5 million as compared to $15.3 million
  • Average daily throughput volumes of 760 billion Btu per day (BBtu/d) as compared to 545 BBtu/d
  • Adjusted EBITDA(2) of $25.2 million as compared to $16.6 million
  • Distributable cash flow (DCF)(2) of $22.4 million as compared to $14.8 million
  • Cash distribution coverage of 1.59x on an as declared basis

Full Year 2015 Results

Highlights of full year 2015 results attributable to the Partnership include:

  • Net income of $71.2 million
  • Adjusted EBITDA(2) of $80.3 million
  • Distributable cash flow (DCF)(2) of $70.9 million

Management Comment

"We are pleased to report another quarter of excellent financial and operational results for CONE Midstream," said John T. Lewis, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of CONE Midstream GP LLC (the "General Partner").  "Our throughput volume, net income, adjusted EBITDA and DCF all exhibited strong and steady growth during each consecutive quarter of 2015.  Fourth quarter average throughput increased by 215 BBtu/d which equates to volume growth of 39% over fourth quarter 2014.  Our focus on operational efficiencies and cost control boosted our financial results, with net income for the quarter increasing by 47% over last year, and fourth quarter adjusted EBITDA and DCF each growing by more than 50% from a year ago.

Mr. Lewis continued, "Based on these strong results and our current outlook, the Partnership paid a quarterly cash distribution of $0.2362 per unit on February 12th. The distribution rate represents a sequential quarterly increase of 3.6% which equates to an annual growth rate of 15.2%.  Our distribution coverage during 2015 also increased steadily each quarter and reached 1.59x for the fourth quarter on an as declared basis.

"We have maintained our strong financial position during 2015," concluded Mr. Lewis.  "Our business model was built for measured growth driven by a strong balance sheet, underlying organic growth with stacked pays, and potentially supplemented by the drop down of additional interests in our three different development companies.  In addition, CONE's business development function should help supplement sponsor driven revenues.  While commodity prices have receded and the MLP space faces various challenges, our robust balance sheet and distribution coverage ratio has CONE Midstream Partners advantageously positioned."

Quarterly Distribution

As previously announced, the Board of Directors of the General Partner declared a quarterly cash distribution of $0.2362 per unit with respect to the fourth quarter of 2015.  The distribution payment was made on February 12, 2016 to unitholders of record on February 4, 2016.  The distribution, which equates to an annual rate of $0.9448 per unit, represents an increase of 3.6% over the prior quarter and an increase of 11.2% over the Minimum Quarterly Distribution as defined in our Partnership Agreement.

Capital Investment and Resources

CONE Midstream's allocated fourth quarter 2015 share of investment in expansion projects was $23.0 million. Total expansion capital investment at the three development companies in which CONE Midstream holds controlling interests was $53.9 million,(3) with individual development company totals as follows:

  • Anchor Systems - $29.0 million
  • Growth Systems - $0.2 million
  • Additional Systems - $24.6 million

CONE Midstream's respective share of maintenance capital expenditures for the three development companies for fourth quarter 2015 was $2.6 million.  Maintenance capital expenditures in the aggregate for the development companies in which CONE Midstream holds controlling interests totaled $4.4 million.

As of December 31, 2015,  CONE Midstream had outstanding borrowings of $73.5 million under its $250.0 million revolving credit facility.

2016 Guidance

Based on current expectations, management is providing the following guidance for 2016. Full year 2016 adjusted EBITDA attributable to the Partnership is expected to be in the range of $93 - $103 million and full year Distributable Cash Flow attributable to the Partnership is expected to be in the range of $79 - $89 million. Management currently anticipates that total 2016 capital expenditures attributable to the Partnership will be in the range of $30 to $35 million, of which approximately $10 to $12 million will be for maintenance capital.

CONE Midstream's  financial guidance is based on numerous assumptions about future events and conditions and, therefore, could vary materially from actual results. These estimates, including capital expenditure plans, are meant to provide guidance only and are subject to revision for acquisitions or operating environment changes.

Fourth Quarter Financial and Operational Results Conference Call

A conference call and webcast, during which management will discuss fourth quarter 2015 financial and operational results, is scheduled for February 17, 2016 at 1:00 p.m. Eastern Time.  Prepared remarks by members of management will be followed by a question and answer period.  Interested parties may listen via webcast at https://www.webcaster4.com/webcast/page/998/12905. Participants who would like to ask questions may join the conference by phone at 888-349-0097 (international 412-902-0126) five to ten minutes prior to the scheduled start time (reference the CONE Midstream call).  An on-demand replay of the webcast will be also be available at https://www.webcaster4.com/webcast/page/998/12905 shortly after the conclusion of the conference.  A telephonic replay will be available through February 24, 2016 by dialing 877-344-7529 (international: 412-317-0088) and using the conference playback number 10079438.

Unless otherwise indicated, the reporting measures included in this news release reflect the unallocated total activity of the three development companies jointly owned by the Partnership and CONE Gathering LLC ("CONE Gathering").  Because the Partnership owns a controlling interest in each of the three development companies, it fully consolidates their financial results.

RECONCILIATION OF NET INCOME TO EBITDA AND DISTRIBUTABLE CASH FLOW
(in thousands)
(unaudited)

Definition of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted EBITDA

We define adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before net interest expense, depreciation and amortization, as adjusted for non-cash items which should not be included in the calculation of distributable cash flow. Adjusted EBITDA is used as a supplemental financial measure by management and by external users of our financial statements, such as investors, industry analysts, lenders and ratings agencies, to assess:

  • our operating performance as compared to those of other companies in the midstream energy industry, without regard to financing methods, historical cost basis or capital structure;
  • the ability of our assets to generate sufficient cash flow to make distributions to our partners;
  • our ability to incur and service debt and fund capital expenditures; and
  • the viability of acquisitions and other capital expenditure projects and the returns on investment of various investment opportunities.

We believe that the presentation of adjusted EBITDA provides information that is useful to investors in assessing our financial condition and results of operations. The GAAP measures most directly comparable to adjusted EBITDA are net income and net cash provided by operating activities. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered an alternative to net income, net cash provided by (used in) operating activities or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP.  Adjusted EBITDA excludes some, but not all, items that affect net income or net cash, and these measures may vary from those of other companies. As a result, adjusted EBITDA as presented below may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

Distributable Cash Flow

We define distributable cash flow as adjusted EBITDA less net income attributable to noncontrolling interest, net cash interest paid and maintenance capital expenditures. Distributable cash flow does not reflect changes in working capital balances.

Distributable cash flow is used as a supplemental financial measure by management and by external users of our financial statements, such as investors, industry analysts, lenders and ratings agencies, to assess:

  • the ability of our assets to generate cash sufficient to support our indebtedness and make future cash distributions to our unitholders; and
  • the attractiveness of capital projects and acquisitions and the overall rates of return on alternative investment opportunities.

We believe that the presentation of distributable cash flow in this report provides information useful to investors in assessing our financial condition and results of operations. The GAAP measures most directly comparable to distributable cash flow are net income and net cash provided by operating activities. Distributable cash flow should not be considered an alternative to net income, net cash provided by operating activities or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP. Distributable cash flow excludes some, but not all, items that affect net income or net cash, and these measures may vary from those of other companies. As a result, our distributable cash flow may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.
