- Higher Second Quarter Segment Profit Driven by Canadian Volume Growth
- KAPS Pipeline Announced in May 2019 Now 70% Contracted
- White Cliffs Crude Pipeline Secures 5-Year Contract for 20,000 Barrels Per Day
TULSA, Okla., Aug. 08, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SemGroup® Corporation (NYSE:SEMG) today reported second quarter 2019 net loss of $12.9 million, compared to first quarter net loss of $3.3 million and second quarter 2018 net loss of $2.7 million. Second quarter 2019 net loss was primarily due to non-cash items related to the impairment or sale of certain assets.
Second quarter 2019 Adjusted EBITDA (adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) was $105.5 million, compared to $103 million in the first quarter of 2019 and $99 million in the second quarter 2018, primarily reflecting contributions from the company's new gas plants in Canada. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure and is reconciled to net income below.
"Second quarter results were in line with expectations," said SemGroup President and Chief Executive Officer Carlin Conner. "Investments over the past year in our U.S. Liquids and Canadian segments drove the increased year-over-year Adjusted EBITDA. This growth highlights the value of strategic projects like the Houston terminal expansion and the Wapiti and Patterson Creek gas plants, which will provide long-term, stable cash flows."
"I'm pleased to see our strategy deliver the intended financial and commercial results," said Conner. "Our well-positioned assets in Canada, the Mid-Continent and Gulf Coast are anchored by contracted cash flows that provide us confidence in our future growth. While our assets are performing, we have additional work to do on our balance sheet and are evaluating alternatives to de-lever while creating shareholder value."
Segment Profit Results
SemGroup management believes segment profit is a valuable measure of the operating and financial performance of the company's operating segments. Segment profit is defined as revenue, less cost of products sold (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) and operating expenses, plus equity earnings and is adjusted to remove unrealized gains and losses on commodity derivatives and to reflect equity earnings on an EBITDA basis. Reconciliations can be found in the tables of this release.

Performance by Segment - Second Quarter 2019 vs. First Quarter 2019
U.S. Liquids
- Second quarter was impacted by a $3.3 million property tax increase at the Houston terminal and the absence of a one-time $2.7 million insurance recovery recognized in the first quarter.
- Higher marketing margins more than offset lower White Cliffs volumes related to the NGL line conversion.
U.S. Gas
- The decrease was primarily due to lower residue and NGL prices.
- Higher volumes and lower operating cost were offset by lower revenue margins.
Canada
- Results were driven by full quarter contributions from the Patterson Creek and Wapiti plants, which benefited from strong volume growth.

Recent Developments
SemGroup secured a five-year contract on the White Cliffs Crude Pipeline for 20,000 barrels per day and is currently holding an open season due to continued shipper interest.
On August 5, SemGroup announced that its Board of Directors had declared a quarterly cash dividend to common shareholders. A dividend in the amount of $0.4725 per share, or $1.89 per share annualized, will be paid on August 26, 2019 to all common shareholders of record on August 15, 2019. The Board of Directors also declared a dividend to holders of its 7% Series A Cumulative Perpetual Convertible Preferred Stock. The company elected, pursuant to the terms of the convertible preferred shares, to have the aggregate amount of $6.7 million that would have been payable in cash as a dividend added to the liquidation preference of such shares as a payment in kind. The record date for the payment in kind on the shares of convertible preferred stock is August 15, 2019 and the payment date is August 26, 2019.
On May 28, SemGroup entered into an agreement with Suncor Energy to provide crude transportation service from SemGroup's Platteville, Colorado terminal in the DJ Basin to Suncor's Commerce City Pipeline, which feeds into Suncor's local refinery. The project is supported by long-term contracted cash flows. The 16-mile Platteville to Suncor Pipeline is expected to be in service in the third quarter of 2020.
On May 4, SemCAMS Midstream ULC announced the formation of an asset joint venture with Keyera Corp. to construct a natural gas liquids and condensate pipeline system to connect the liquids-rich Montney and Duvernay production areas of northwestern Alberta to the fractionation and condensate hubs in Fort Saskatchewan, Alberta. This pipeline system provides producers additional and alternative transportation solutions to meet growing production and is supported by long-term contracts with significant take-or-pay commitments. The project is now 70 percent contracted with customer commitments.
Guidance Outlook
Based on year-to-date results, SemGroup is maintaining its initial financial guidance provided earlier this year.
SemGroup does not provide guidance for net income, the GAAP financial measure most directly comparable to the non-GAAP financial measure Adjusted EBITDA, because Net Income includes items such as unrealized gains or losses on derivative activities or similar items which, because of their nature, cannot be accurately forecasted. SemGroup does not expect that such amounts would be significant to Adjusted EBITDA as they are largely non-cash items; however, such items may be significant to net income.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
SemGroup’s non-GAAP measures, Adjusted EBITDA, Cash Available for Dividends ("CAFD") and Total Segment Profit, are not GAAP measures and are not intended to be used in lieu of GAAP presentation of their most closely associated GAAP measures, net income (loss) for Adjusted EBITDA and CAFD and operating income for Total Segment Profit.
Adjusted EBITDA represents earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, adjusted for selected items that SemGroup believes impact the comparability of financial results between reporting periods. In addition to non-cash items, we have selected items for adjustment to EBITDA which management feels decrease the comparability of our results among periods. These items are identified as those which are generally outside of the results of day to day operations of the business. These items are not considered non- recurring, infrequent or unusual, but do erode comparability among periods in which they occur with periods in which they do not occur or occur to a greater or lesser degree. Historically, we have selected items such as gains on the sale of NGL Energy Partners LP common units, costs related to our predecessor’s bankruptcy, significant business development related costs, significant legal settlements, severance and other similar costs. Management believes these types of items can make comparability of the results of day to day operations among periods difficult and have chosen to remove these items from our Adjusted EBITDA. We expect to adjust for similar types of items in the future. Although we present selected items that we consider in evaluating our performance, you should be aware that the items presented do not represent all items that affect comparability between the periods presented. Variations in our operating results are also caused by changes in volumes, prices, mechanical interruptions and numerous other factors. We do not adjust for these types of variances.
CAFD is based on Adjusted EBITDA, as defined above, and reduced for cash income taxes, cash interest expense, preferred stock cash dividends, maintenance capital expenditures and CAFD attributable to noncontrolling interests, as adjusted for selected items which management feels decrease the comparability of results among periods. CAFD is a performance measure utilized by management to analyze our performance after the payment of cash taxes, servicing debt obligations and making sustaining capital expenditures.
Total Segment Profit represents revenue, less cost of products sold (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) and operating expenses, plus equity earnings and is adjusted to remove unrealized gains and losses on commodity derivatives and to reflect equity earnings on an EBITDA basis. Reflecting equity earnings on an EBITDA basis is achieved by adjusting equity earnings to exclude our percentage of interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization from equity earnings for operated equity method investees. For our investment in NGL Energy, we exclude equity earnings and include cash distributions received. Segment profit is the measure by which management assess the performance of our reportable segments.
These measures may be used periodically by management when discussing our financial results with investors and analysts and are presented as management believes they provide additional information and metrics relative to the performance of our businesses. These non-GAAP financial measures have important limitations as analytical tools because they exclude some, but not all, items that affect the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. You should not consider non-GAAP measures in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Management compensates for the limitations of our non-GAAP measures as analytical tools by reviewing the comparable GAAP measures, understanding the differences between the non-GAAP measure and the most comparable GAAP measure and incorporating this knowledge into its decision-making processes. We believe that investors benefit from having access to the same financial measures that our management uses in evaluating our operating results. Because all companies do not use identical calculations, our presentations of non-GAAP measures may be different from similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing their utility.
