Chief Executive Officer, Taylor Reid, commented, "Oasis Midstream Partners had an impressive second quarter as continued strong operational performance and cost control supported profitability and led the Partnership to exceed expectations. Additionally, OMP announced two major projects including City of Williston in the Bakken and a pipeline connection to Wink in the Delaware. These projects have compelling underlying economics which support strong EBITDA growth while increasing OMP's footprint for additional third-party opportunities. Congratulations to the team for their exceptional efforts and continued success."     

City of Williston Project Dedication

Oasis Petroleum has approved a dedication to OMP for the City of Williston project area, which includes services for crude oil, natural gas, and produced water. The City of Williston is one of Oasis Petroleum's top operating areas and is located in close proximity to Oasis Petroleum's Indian Hills project area. Volumes under each services offering are expected to flow as soon as late 2022, driving significant EBITDA contribution in 2023. OMP has identified numerous third party opportunities in the area that could further enhance overall project economics. 

OMP expects capital expenditures ("CapEx") for City of Williston to range between $4MM and $6MM for 2021, as the Partnership begins capturing right-of-way, and to range between $37MM and $43MM for 2022. OMP expects to achieve an attractive build multiple on these assets and anticipates the project, along with other developments noted below, will support solid year-over-year EBITDA growth in 2023.

Operational and Financial Update

The following table presents select operational and financial data for the period presented:

Updated Outlook

• 2021
• 3Q21 EBITDA is expected to range between $56MM – $59MM, with the increase over 2Q21 driven by volumes from well completions in Wild Basin and the Permian Basin that occurred late in 2Q21;
• 4Q21 EBITDA is expected to decrease from 3Q21 levels by approximately $6MM, reflecting a planned gas plant turnaround at the Partnership's 200 MMscfpd gas plant in Wild Basin;
• FY2021 EBITDA guidance range of $218MM - $224MM includes the impact from the gas plant turnaround. Excluding the gas plant turnaround, midpoint EBITDA guidance would have been approximately $1MM higher than prior guidance;
• Distribution coverage is expected to approximate 1.4x in 3Q21;
• As expected with Oasis Petroleum's announcement of the acquisition of assets in the Williston Basin, Oasis Petroleum will be directing incremental activity on the Williston Basin assets in Beartooth DevCo, Indian Hills and in the newly dedicated City of Williston project area. Additionally, OMP is investing capital to third-party business in the Permian Basin, including incremental activity to support the buyer of Oasis Petroleum's Permian Basin E&P assets and to build a crude line to Wink for a separate third-party customer. As a result of this additional activity, FY2021 CapEx is now expected to be $73MM - $78MM versus prior guidance of $53MM – $58MM;
• 3Q21 CapEx is expected to be $22MM – $27MM;
• 2021 maintenance CapEx as a percent of EBITDA is expected to range between 7% – 8% with 2H21 approximating 12%, which includes capital for the planned gas plant turnaround.
• 2022 and 2023
• OMP is investing across its Williston Basin position in anticipation of future activity. Primary areas of focus include South Nesson (dedicated in February 2021), City of Williston (dedicated in July 2021), Painted Woods (OMP has ROFR), Indian Hills, Alger, Wild Basin, as well as third-party areas.
• Additionally, OMP is investing in the Permian Basin given an acceleration of activity from its anchor customer and growing third-party business.
• 2022E EBITDA is expected to increase high-single-digits versus 2021, as the South Nesson project area volumes come online in 2022. 1Q22 EBITDA should be the lowest of the year and highest in 4Q22.
• OMP expects to increase its capital spend in 2022 versus 2021, as the Partnership invests capital in South Nesson, Indian Hills, City of Williston, and the Permian Basin areas, which is expected to drive mid-teens growth in 2023.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, forward-looking statements contained in this press release specifically include the expectations of plans, strategies, objectives and anticipated financial and operating results of the Partnership, including the Partnership's capital expenditure levels and other guidance included in this press release. These statements are based on certain assumptions made by the Partnership based on management's experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions, anticipated future developments and other factors believed to be appropriate. Such statements are subject to a number of assumptions, risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the control of the Partnership, which may cause actual results to differ materially from those implied or expressed by the forward-looking statements. These include, but are not limited to, developments in the global economy, particularly the public health crisis related to the novel coronavirus 2019 ("COVID-19") pandemic and the adverse impact thereof on demand for crude oil and natural gas and our customers' demand for our services. Because considerable uncertainty exists with respect to the future pace and extent of a global economic recovery from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, we cannot predict whether or when economic activities will return to normalized levels.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Cash Interest, Adjusted EBITDA, DCF and FCF are supplemental non-GAAP financial measures that are used by management and external users of the Partnership's financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for interest expense, net income, operating income, net cash provided by operating activities or any other measures prepared under GAAP. Because Cash Interest, Adjusted EBITDA, DCF and FCF exclude some but not all items that affect interest expense, net income and net cash provided by operating activities and may vary among companies, the amounts presented may not be comparable to similar metrics of other companies.

Cash Interest

Cash Interest is defined as interest expense plus capitalized interest less amortization of deferred financing costs included in interest expense. Cash Interest is not a measure of interest expense as determined by GAAP. Management believes that the presentation of Cash Interest provides useful additional information to investors and analysts for assessing the interest charges incurred on the Partnership's debt, excluding non-cash amortization, and the Partnership's ability to maintain compliance with its debt covenants.

The following table presents a reconciliation of the GAAP financial measure of interest expense, net of capitalized interest, to the non-GAAP financial measure of Cash Interest for the periods presented:

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that is used by management and external users of the Partnership's financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies. The Partnership defines Adjusted EBITDA as earnings before interest expense (net of capitalized interest), income taxes, depreciation, amortization, equity-based compensation expenses and other similar non-cash adjustments. Adjusted EBITDA 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. Management believes that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA provides information useful to investors and analysts for assessing the Partnership's results of operations, financial performance and its ability to generate cash from its business operations without regard to its financing methods or capital structure, coupled with the Partnership's ability to maintain compliance with its debt covenants. The GAAP measures most directly comparable to Adjusted EBITDA are net income (loss) and net cash provided by (used in) operating activities.

Distributable Cash Flow ("DCF") and Free Cash Flow ("FCF")

DCF and FCF are supplemental non-GAAP financial measures that are used by management and external users of the Partnership's financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies. The Partnership defines DCF as Adjusted EBITDA attributable to the Partnership less Cash Interest attributable to the Partnership and maintenance capital expenditures attributable to the Partnership. The Partnership defines FCF as DCF less expansion capital expenditures attributable to the Partnership and unitholder distributions. DCF and FCF should not be considered alternatives to net income, net cash provided by operating activities or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP. Management believes that the presentation of DCF and FCF provide information useful to investors and analysts for assessing the Partnership's results of operations, financial performance and ability to generate cash from its business operations without regard to its financing methods or capital structure, coupled with the Partnerships ability to make distributions to its unitholders. The GAAP measures most directly comparable to DCF and FCF are net income (loss) and net cash provided by (used in) operating activities.

The following table presents reconciliations of the GAAP financial measures of net income (loss) and net cash provided by operating activities to the non-GAAP financial measures of Adjusted EBITDA, DCF and FCF for the periods presented:
