Energy Transfer Reports Second Quarter 2024 Results

Energy Transfer LP (NYSE:ET) (“Energy Transfer” or the “Partnership”) today reported financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2024.

Energy Transfer reported net income attributable to partners for the three months ended June 30, 2024 of $1.31 billion. For the three months ended June 30, 2024, net income per common unit (basic) was $0.35.

Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was $3.76 billion compared to $3.12 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2023. Adjusted EBITDA for the current quarter includes more than $80 million of transaction-related expenses incurred by the Partnership and Sunoco LP.

Distributable Cash Flow attributable to partners, as adjusted, for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was $2.04 billion compared to $1.55 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2023, an increase of $485 million.

Growth capital expenditures in the second quarter of 2024 were $549 million, while maintenance capital expenditures were $223 million.

Operational Highlights

  • With the addition of new organic growth projects and acquisitions, volumes on Energy Transfer’s assets continued to increase during the second quarter of 2024.
    • Crude oil transportation volumes were up 23%, setting a new Partnership record.
    • Crude oil exports were up 11%.
    • NGL fractionation volumes were up 11%.
    • NGL exports were up approximately 3%, setting a new Partnership record.
    • NGL transportation volumes were up 4%, setting a new Partnership record.
    • NGL and refined products terminal volumes were up 4%, setting a new Partnership record.
    • Refined products transportation volumes were up 9%.
  • In June 2024, Energy Transfer began the relocation of a currently idle 200 MMcf/d cryogenic processing plant to the Delaware Basin. The Badger plant is expected to be in service in mid-2025.
  • In July 2024, Energy Transfer placed a previously idle two million barrel butane well back into service at Mont Belvieu. This brings Energy Transfer’s total NGL storage capacity at Mont Belvieu to approximately 62 million barrels.

Strategic Highlights

  • In July 2024, Energy Transfer completed the acquisition of WTG Midstream Holdings LLC (“WTG Midstream”). The acquired assets add approximately 6,000 miles of complementary gas gathering pipelines that extend Energy Transfer’s network in the Midland Basin. Also, as part of the transaction, the Partnership added eight gas processing plants with a total capacity of approximately 1.3 Bcf/d, and two additional processing plants under construction. Since closing the transaction, one of these 200 MMcf/d processing plants was placed into service.
  • In July 2024, Energy Transfer and Sunoco LP announced the formation of a joint venture combining their respective crude oil and produced water gathering assets in the Permian Basin. Energy Transfer will serve as the operator of the joint venture and contribute its Permian crude oil and produced water gathering assets and operations to the joint venture.
  • Energy Transfer recently approved the construction of its ninth fractionator at Mont Belvieu. Frac IX will have capacity of 165,000 Bbls/d and is expected to be in service in the fourth quarter of 2026.

Financial Highlights

  • Energy Transfer now expects its full-year 2024 Adjusted EBITDA to range between $15.3 billion and $15.5 billion, compared to the previous range of between $15.0 billion and $15.3 billion. Energy Transfer’s updated Adjusted EBITDA estimate includes the impact of the WTG Midstream acquisition, which closed on July 15, 2024, and outperformance in the base business, even with over $100 million of transaction costs also included within the full-year guidance. With the addition of new growth projects, Energy Transfer now expects its 2024 growth capital expenditures to be approximately $3.1 billion, primarily due to the addition of growth capital related to WTG Midstream and quicker returning projects in our crude oil transportation and services segment related to the recent Crestwood acquisition.
  • During the second quarter of 2024, Energy Transfer redeemed all of its outstanding Series A and Series E preferred units.
  • In June 2024, Energy Transfer’s senior unsecured debt rating was upgraded by Moody’s Ratings to Baa2. This follows upgrades by Fitch and S&P to BBB in February 2024 and August 2023, respectively.
  • In June 2024, the Partnership issued $1.00 billion aggregate principal amount of 5.25% Senior Notes due 2029, $1.25 billion aggregate principal amount of 5.60% Senior Notes due 2034, $1.25 billion aggregate principal amount of 6.05% Senior Notes due 2054 and $400 million aggregate principal amount of 7.125% Fixed-to-Fixed Reset Rate Junior Subordinated Notes due 2054.
  • In July 2024, Energy Transfer announced a cash distribution of $0.32 per common unit ($1.28 annualized) for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, which is an increase of 3.2% compared to the second quarter of 2023.
  • As of June 30, 2024, the Partnership’s revolving credit facility had no outstanding borrowings.

Energy Transfer benefits from a portfolio of assets with exceptional product and geographic diversity. The Partnership’s multiple segments generate high-quality, balanced earnings with no single segment contributing more than one-third of the Partnership’s consolidated Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The vast majority of the Partnership’s segment margins are fee-based and therefore have limited commodity price sensitivity.

(a)

Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow are non-GAAP financial measures used by industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies to assess the financial performance and the operating results of Energy Transfer’s fundamental business activities and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income, income from operations, cash flows from operating activities or other GAAP measures.

 

There are material limitations to using measures such as Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow, including the difficulty associated with using either as the sole measure to compare the results of one company to another, and the inability to analyze certain significant items that directly affect a company’s net income or loss or cash flows. In addition, our calculations of Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow may not be consistent with similarly titled measures of other companies and should be viewed in conjunction with measures that are computed in accordance with GAAP, such as operating income, net income and cash flows from operating activities. 

 

Definition of Adjusted EBITDA 

 

We define Adjusted EBITDA as total partnership earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, depletion, amortization and other non-cash items, such as non-cash compensation expense, gains and losses on disposals of assets, the allowance for equity funds used during construction, unrealized gains and losses on commodity risk management activities, inventory valuation adjustments, non-cash impairment charges, losses on extinguishments of debt and other non-operating income or expense items. Inventory valuation adjustments that are excluded from the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA represent only the changes in lower of cost or market reserves on inventory that is carried at last-in, first-out (“LIFO”). These amounts are unrealized valuation adjustments applied to Sunoco LP’s fuel volumes remaining in inventory at the end of the period. 

 

Adjusted EBITDA reflects amounts for unconsolidated affiliates based on the same recognition and measurement methods used to record equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates. Adjusted EBITDA related to unconsolidated affiliates excludes the same items with respect to the unconsolidated affiliate as those excluded from the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA, such as interest, taxes, depreciation, depletion, amortization and other non-cash items. Although these amounts are excluded from Adjusted EBITDA related to unconsolidated affiliates, such exclusion should not be understood to imply that we have control over the operations and resulting revenues and expenses of such affiliates. We do not control our unconsolidated affiliates; therefore, we do not control the earnings or cash flows of such affiliates. The use of Adjusted EBITDA or Adjusted EBITDA related to unconsolidated affiliates as an analytical tool should be limited accordingly. 

 

Adjusted EBITDA is used by management to determine our operating performance and, along with other financial and volumetric data, as internal measures for setting annual operating budgets, assessing financial performance of our numerous business locations, as a measure for evaluating targeted businesses for acquisition and as a measurement component of incentive compensation. 

 

Definition of Distributable Cash Flow 

 

We define Distributable Cash Flow as net income, adjusted for certain non-cash items, less distributions to preferred unitholders and maintenance capital expenditures. Non-cash items include depreciation, depletion and amortization, non-cash compensation expense, amortization included in interest expense, gains and losses on disposals of assets, the allowance for equity funds used during construction, unrealized gains and losses on commodity risk management activities, inventory valuation adjustments, non-cash impairment charges, losses on extinguishments of debt and deferred income taxes. For unconsolidated affiliates, Distributable Cash Flow reflects the Partnership’s proportionate share of the investees’ distributable cash flow. 

 

Distributable Cash Flow is used by management to evaluate our overall performance. Our partnership agreement requires us to distribute all available cash, and Distributable Cash Flow is calculated to evaluate our ability to fund distributions through cash generated by our operations. 

 

On a consolidated basis, Distributable Cash Flow includes 100% of the Distributable Cash Flow of Energy Transfer’s consolidated subsidiaries. However, to the extent that noncontrolling interests exist among our subsidiaries, the Distributable Cash Flow generated by our subsidiaries may not be available to be distributed to our partners. In order to reflect the cash flows available for distributions to our partners, we have reported Distributable Cash Flow attributable to partners, which is calculated by adjusting Distributable Cash Flow (consolidated), as follows: 

 
  • For subsidiaries with publicly traded equity interests, Distributable Cash Flow (consolidated) includes 100% of Distributable Cash Flow attributable to such subsidiary, and Distributable Cash Flow attributable to our partners includes distributions to be received by the parent company with respect to the periods presented.
  • For consolidated joint ventures or similar entities, where the noncontrolling interest is not publicly traded, Distributable Cash Flow (consolidated) includes 100% of Distributable Cash Flow attributable to such subsidiaries, but Distributable Cash Flow attributable to partners reflects only the amount of Distributable Cash Flow of such subsidiaries that is attributable to our ownership interest.
 

For Distributable Cash Flow attributable to partners, as adjusted, certain transaction-related adjustments and non-recurring expenses that are included in net income are excluded. 

 

(b)

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the amount reflected for transaction-related income taxes reflects current income tax expense recognized by Sunoco LP in connection with its April 2024 sale of convenience stores in West Texas, New Mexico and Oklahoma.

The following analysis of segment operating results includes a measure of segment margin. Segment margin is a non-GAAP financial measure and is presented herein to assist in the analysis of segment operating results and particularly to facilitate an understanding of the impacts that changes in sales revenues have on the segment performance measure of Segment Adjusted EBITDA. Segment margin is similar to the GAAP measure of gross margin, except that segment margin excludes charges for depreciation, depletion and amortization. Among the GAAP measures reported by the Partnership, the most directly comparable measure to segment margin is Segment Adjusted EBITDA; a reconciliation of segment margin to Segment Adjusted EBITDA is included in the following tables for each segment where segment margin is presented.

Transported volumes decreased primarily due to decreased transportation on our Texas assets and decreased production from our Haynesville assets.
 
Segment Adjusted EBITDA. For the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period last year, Segment Adjusted EBITDA related to our intrastate transportation and storage segment increased due to the net impact of the following:
  • an increase of $77 million in realized natural gas sales and other primarily due to higher pipeline optimization from physical sales;
  • an increase of $26 million in storage margin primarily due to the timing of both physical and financial gains;
  • an increase of $13 million in transportation fees primarily due to the recovery of certain disputed fees earned in a prior period on our Texas system; and
  • a decrease of $8 million in operating expenses primarily due to a change related to fuel consumption that is offset in cost of products sold in 2024.

Transported volumes increased primarily due to more capacity sold and higher utilization on our Trunkline, Panhandle and Gulf Run systems due to increased demand.

 

Segment Adjusted EBITDA. For the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period last year, Segment Adjusted EBITDA related to our interstate transportation and storage segment decreased due to the net impact of the following:

  • a decrease of $32 million in segment margin primarily due to a $22 million decrease for shipper refunds related to our Panhandle rate case (this includes a negative $35 million impact to the second quarter of 2024, as compared to a negative $13 million impact to the second quarter of 2023), a $10 million decrease in operational gas sales resulting from lower prices and a $3 million decrease in parking revenue. These decreases were partially offset by a $3 million increase in transportation revenue from several of our interstate pipeline systems due to higher contracted volumes at higher rates;
  • an increase of $7 million in operating expenses primarily due to a $12 million increase in maintenance project costs, partially offset by a $2 million decrease in ad valorem taxes and a $2 million decrease in electricity costs;
  • an increase of $4 million in selling, general and administrative expenses primarily due to a $2 million increase in allocated costs, a $1 million increase in professional fees and a $1 million increase in employee-related costs; and
  • a decrease of $6 million in Adjusted EBITDA related to unconsolidated affiliates primarily due to a decrease from our Midcontinent Express Pipeline joint venture as a result of lower revenue due to capacity sold at lower rates.

NGL transportation volumes increased primarily due to higher volumes from the Permian region, on our Mariner East pipeline system and on our Gulf Coast export pipelines.

 

The increase in transportation volumes and the commissioning of our eighth fractionator in August 2023 also led to higher fractionated volumes at our Mont Belvieu NGL Complex. 

 

Segment Adjusted EBITDA. For the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period last year, Segment Adjusted EBITDA related to our NGL and refined products transportation and services segment increased due to the net impact of the following:

  • an increase of $107 million in marketing margin (excluding unrealized gains and losses on commodity risk management activities) primarily due to higher gains from the optimization of hedged NGL and refined product inventories. This increase also included a $6 million increase in intrasegment margin which was fully offset within our transportation margin;
  • an increase of $77 million in transportation margin primarily due to higher throughput and contractual rate escalations of $33 million on our Texas y-grade pipeline system, $22 million on our Mariner East pipeline system, $13 million on our Mariner West pipeline and $11 million on our refined product pipelines, as well as a $6 million increase from higher exported volumes feeding into our Nederland Terminal. These increases were partially offset by intrasegment charges of $6 million and $2 million which were fully offset within our marketing and fractionators margin, respectively;
  • an increase of $46 million in fractionators and refinery services margin primarily due to a $40 million increase resulting from higher throughput as our eighth fractionator was placed in service in August of 2023, a $3 million increase from our refinery services business and a $2 million intrasegment charge which was fully offset in our transportation margin;
  • an increase of $20 million in terminal services margin primarily due to a $12 million increase from our Marcus Hook Terminal due to higher throughput and contractual rate escalations, a $5 million increase from higher export volumes loaded at our Nederland Terminal and a $3 million increase due to higher throughput and storage at our refined product terminals; and
  • an increase of $3 million in Adjusted EBITDA related to unconsolidated affiliates; partially offset by
  • an increase of $21 million in operating expenses primarily due to a $9 million increase in gas and power utility costs, a $7 million increase resulting from the timing of project related expenses and a $5 million increase in employee costs.

Crude oil transportation volumes were higher due to continued growth on our gathering systems and contributions from recently acquired assets. Crude terminal volumes were lower due to lower refinery-driven throughput at our Gulf Coast terminals, partially offset by higher export volumes.

 

Segment Adjusted EBITDA. For the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period last year, Segment Adjusted EBITDA related to our crude oil transportation and services segment increased primarily due to the net impact of the following:

  • an increase of $173 million in segment margin (excluding unrealized gains and losses on commodity risk management activities) primarily due to a $124 million increase from recently acquired assets and a $61 million increase in transportation revenue on existing pipeline assets, partially offset by a $5 million decrease from lower throughput at our Gulf Coast terminals and an $8 million decrease from our crude oil acquisition and marketing business; partially offset by
  • an increase of $44 million in operating expenses primarily due to a $25 million increase from recently acquired assets, a $10 million increase in maintenance project costs and a $7 million increase in utilities; and
  • an increase of $6 million in selling, general and administrative expenses primarily due to recently acquired assets.
