KILGORE, Texas, Feb. 25, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Martin Midstream Partners L.P. (Nasdaq:MMLP) (the "Partnership") announced today its financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2014.
Ruben Martin, President and Chief Executive Officer of Martin Midstream GP LLC, the general partner of the Partnership, said, "As we all know, during the fourth quarter 2014, commodity prices, particularly crude oil, declined significantly. Our Partnership has no direct commodity exposure to crude oil, and our businesses and the services we provide are generally far removed from the well-head. Nonetheless, our unit price, as if tied directly to the price of crude oil, suffered significantly during the last half of 2014. While we do have some risk associated with reduced volumes of commodities being handled utilizing our assets, this represents a relatively small portion of our cash flow. More so, these cash flows are typically supported by minimum contractual throughput commitments. Throughout the Partnership's history, our businesses have tended to be tied much closer to refinery utilization rather than to the production of oil and natural gas. We have seen before, and continue to believe, the necessary services and logistical support we provide to refineries have a level of staying power throughout the commodity price cycle. We expect the resilience of our diverse model will play out again in the current cycle. For the fourth quarter, excluding the recently discontinued operations of our NGL floating storage business, we had a distribution coverage ratio of 1.14 times. For the year ended 2014, excluding the discontinued operations of our NGL floating storage business, our distribution coverage ratio was 0.97 times. With respect to distributable cash flow, 2014 was an unusual year in terms of heavy maintenance capital expenditures due to the timing of the biennial turnaround at the Smackover refinery and the convergence of numerous regulatory-driven offshore marine dry dockings.
"Crude oil throughput volume at the Corpus Christi Crude Terminal remained steady during the quarter even as crude oil prices declined. Volumes through the terminal averaged 175,769 barrels per day in the fourth quarter and 164,223 barrels per day for 2014. Volume through the terminal in early 2015 is currently averaging approximately 175,000 barrels per day. Our traditional fee-based terminalling and storage business outperformed its forecast for the fourth quarter and all of 2014. However, such outperformance was offset by a continued challenging landscape in the packaging and lubricants business. Weak margins, decreased demand, and continued oversupply in the base oil market drove profitability to less than 40% of what was originally projected in our packaging and lubricants business. While we anticipate continued weakness for 2015 in our packaging and lubricants business, cash flow should improve year over year.
"In 2014 the Partnership made two significant capital investments, closing on the purchase of the remaining interests in Cardinal Gas Storage Partners LLC ("Cardinal") and a 20% interest in West Texas LPG Pipeline L.P. ("WTLPG"). To date, both WTLPG and Cardinal have performed well, exceeding our cash flow forecasts. Based on the strength of interruptible services, particularly at the Monroe Gas Storage facility, Cardinal surpassed its fourth quarter forecast. We expect over $50 million of combined cash flow from these fee-based acquisitions driving positive cash flow growth in 2015.
"Also, our NGL logistics business, which includes the marketing and distribution of refinery grade butane and wholesale propane, performed near forecasted levels for the year ended 2014 despite tremendous commodity price decline experienced in the fourth quarter. Also, we are anticipating our NGL rail rack at our underground storage in North Louisiana to be completed sometime in the second quarter of 2015. This will allow us to expand our geographical footprint in our NGL logistics business.
"The Sulfur Services segment exceeded its forecast in the fourth quarter based on improved winter fill fertilizer volume and an increased demand for our prilling services as a result of improved sulfur prices. For the year ended 2014, Sulfur Services finished ahead of our internal forecast by approximately 18%. Driving this improved performance was a prolonged fertilizer application season and strong prilling demand particularly in our West Coast system. Looking ahead, we anticipate a reduced level of overall U.S. agricultural acreage planted in 2015, which could slightly impact our fertilizer business' cash flow. This may be somewhat offset by continued strength in sulfur pricing and global demand.
"Our Marine Transportation segment also performed well during the last quarter of 2014. Cash flow was approximately $6.4 million - our strongest quarter since 2010. After planned regulatory dry docking expenses were incurred during the first two quarters of 2014, the marine segment's performance in the second half of 2014 was strong, particularly in our offshore fleet. We expect similar strength in the performance of our marine assets in 2015 with minimal dry dockings scheduled this year.
"We achieved tremendous accomplishments in 2014 despite the overall decline in commodity prices suffered in the second half of the year. The Partnership completed two of its largest high-quality, fee-based acquisitions that we believe will continue to add significant value to the Partnership. In 2015, we will continue our focus on optimizing our existing operations and working on growth opportunities."
The Partnership's distributable cash flow from continuing operations for the fourth quarter of 2014 was $33.5 million. This compared to distributable cash flow from continuing operations for the fourth quarter of 2013 of $23.4 million. The Partnership's distributable cash flow from continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2014 was $94.4 million. This compared to distributable cash flow from continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2013 of $84.5 million.
The Partnership's adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations for the fourth quarter of 2014 was $42.5 million. This compared to adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations for the fourth quarter of 2013 of $37.9 million. Net income for the fourth quarter of 2014 was $4.4 million, which resulted in a loss per limited partner unit of $0.07 after the incentive distribution rights were allocated to the general partner. The Partnership had a net loss of $39.3 million, or $1.44 per limited partner unit, for the fourth quarter of 2013. Results for the fourth quarter of 2013 were negatively impacted by the $54.1 million non-cash charge related to the Partnership's share of an impairment of the Monroe Gas Storage Company LLC ("Monroe") assets at Cardinal Gas Storage Partners, LLC ("Cardinal"), a previously held equity method investment of the Partnership.
The Partnership's adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2014 was $149.0 million. This compared to adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2013 of $135.5 million. As a result of a $30.1 million non-cash reduction in the carrying value of the Partnership's 42.2% unconsolidated investment in Cardinal, the Partnership reported a net loss for the year ended December 31, 2014 of $11.7 million, or a loss of $0.49 per limited partner unit. The reduction of the Cardinal investment occurred as a result of the Partnership's acquisition of the 57.8% controlling interest on August 29, 2014. The year ended December 31, 2014 also included a $3.4 million non-cash asset impairment charge related to one offshore tug and barge unit in the Partnership's Marine Transportation segment. These non-cash transactions negatively impacted earnings but had no impact on distributable cash flow. The Partnership had a net loss of $13.4 million, or $0.50 per limited partner unit, for the year ended December 31, 2013. Results for the year ended December 31, 2013 were negatively impacted by the $54.1 million non-cash charge related to the Partnership's share of an impairment of the Monroe assets at Cardinal.
On February 12, 2015, the Partnership exited the natural gas liquids floating storage and trans-loading businesses as a result of the sale of its six liquefied petroleum gas pressure barges, collectively referred to as the ("Floating Storage Assets") for $41.3 million. The Partnership expects to record a gain on the disposition of $1.5 million. The Partnership's adjusted EBITDA from the Floating Storage Assets for the fourth quarter of 2014 and the year ended December 31, 2014 was negative $1.8 million and negative $3.8 million, respectively.
The Partnership's distributable cash flow and adjusted EBITDA from discontinued operations related to the Floating Storage Assets for the fourth quarter of 2014 was negative $1.8 million. This compared to distributable cash flow and adjusted EBITDA from discontinued operations for the fourth quarter of 2013 of $0.7 million. The Partnership had a net loss from discontinued operations related to the Floating Storage Assets for the fourth quarter of 2014 of $2.3 million, or $0.07 per limited partner unit. This compared to net income from discontinued operations for the fourth quarter of 2013 of $0.4 million, or $0.01 per limited partner unit.
The Partnership's distributable cash flow and adjusted EBITDA from discontinued operations related to the Floating Storage Assets for the year ended December 31, 2014 was negative $3.8 million. This compared to distributable cash flow and adjusted EBITDA from discontinued operations for the year ended December 31, 2013 of $2.5 million. The Partnership had a net loss from discontinued operations related to the Floating Storage Assets for the year ended December 31, 2014 of $5.3 million, or $0.22 per limited partner unit. This compared to net income from discontinued operations for the year ended December 31, 2013 of $1.2 million, or $0.04 per limited partner unit.
Revenues for the fourth quarter of 2014 were $377.0 million compared to $467.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2013. Revenues were $1.6 billion for each of the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013.
Distributable cash flow, EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures which are explained in greater detail below under the heading "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information." The Partnership has also included below a table entitled "Reconciliation of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Distributable Cash Flow" in order to show the components of these non-GAAP financial measures and their reconciliation to the most comparable GAAP measurement.

Forward-Looking Statements
Statements about the Partnership's outlook and all other statements in this release other than historical facts are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements and all references to financial estimates rely on a number of assumptions concerning future events and are subject to a number of uncertainties and other factors, many of which are outside its control, which could cause actual results to differ materially from such statements. While the Partnership believes that the assumptions concerning future events are reasonable, it cautions that there are inherent difficulties in anticipating or predicting certain important factors. A discussion of these factors, including risks and uncertainties, is set forth in the Partnership's annual and quarterly reports filed from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Partnership disclaims any intention or obligation to revise any forward-looking statements, including financial estimates, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
The Partnership's management uses a variety of financial and operational measurements other than its financial statements prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") to analyze its performance. These include: (1) net income before interest expense, income tax expense, and depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA"), (2) adjusted EBITDA and (3) distributable cash flow. The Partnership's management views these measures as important performance measures of core profitability for its operations and the ability to generate and distribute cash flow, and as key components of its internal financial reporting. The Partnership's management believes investors benefit from having access to the same financial measures that management uses.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. Certain items excluded from EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are significant components in understanding and assessing an entity's financial performance, such as cost of capital and historic costs of depreciable assets. The Partnership has included information concerning EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA because it provides investors and management with additional information to better understand the following: financial performance of the Partnership's assets without regard to financing methods, capital structure or historical cost basis; the Partnership's operating performance and return on capital as compared to those of other similarly situated entities; and the viability of acquisitions and capital expenditure projects. The Partnership's method of computing adjusted EBITDA may not be the same method used to compute similar measures reported by other entities. The economic substance behind the Partnership's use of adjusted EBITDA is to measure the ability of the Partnership's assets to generate cash sufficient to pay interest costs, support its indebtedness and make distributions to its unit holders.
Distributable Cash Flow. Distributable cash flow is a significant performance measure used by the Partnership's management and by external users of its financial statements, such as investors, commercial banks and research analysts, to compare basic cash flows generated by the Partnership to the cash distributions it expects to pay unitholders. Distributable cash flow is also an important financial measure for the Partnership's unitholders since it serves as an indicator of the Partnership's success in providing a cash return on investment. Specifically, this financial measure indicates to investors whether or not the Partnership is generating cash flow at a level that can sustain or support an increase in its quarterly distribution rates. Distributable cash flow is also a quantitative standard used throughout the investment community with respect to publicly-traded partnerships because the value of a unit of such an entity is generally determined by the unit's yield, which in turn is based on the amount of cash distributions the entity pays to a unitholder.
EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow should not be considered alternatives to, or more meaningful than, net income, cash flows from operating activities, or any other measure presented in accordance with GAAP. The Partnership's method of computing these measures may not be the same method used to compute similar measures reported by other entities.
