Oasis Midstream Partners LP Announces Quarter Ended June 30, 2019 Earnings

HOUSTON, Aug. 6, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Oasis Midstream Partners LP (NYSE: OMP) ("OMP" or the "Partnership") today announced financial and operating results for the second quarter of 2019.

2Q 2019 Highlights:

    --  Declared the quarterly cash distribution of $0.49 per unit, an
        approximate 5% increase from 1Q 2019.
    --  Net income was $49.0 million and net cash from operating activities was
        $56.0 million.
    --  Delivered $61.9 million of Adjusted EBITDA((1)) and $36.1 million of net
        Adjusted EBITDA to the Partnership((1)).
    --  Generated $28.8 million of DCF((1)), resulting in distribution coverage
        of 1.7x.
    --  Experienced operational downtime at the Wild Basin gas processing
        complex, which was fully restored beginning mid-July. Crude oil and
        natural gas volumes were adversely impacted by the downtime, resulting
        in lower than anticipated Adjusted EBITDA, DCF and distribution
        coverage. Adjusting for downtime, OMP would have realized distribution
        coverage of approximately 1.9x.
    --  Exceeded guidance related to water service volumes. Volumes increased
        13% from 2Q 2018 to 52.4 MBowpd in Bobcat DevCo and 3% from 2Q 2018 to
        143.7 MBowpd in Beartooth DevCo.
    --  Increased third-party natural gas volumes in Bighorn DevCo by
        approximately 94% from 1Q 2019 to 59.3 MMscfpd (30% of total natural gas
        volumes of 201.6 MMscfpd).

((1) )Non-GAAP measure. See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below for definitions of all non-GAAP measures included herein and reconciliations to the most directly comparable measures under United States generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP").

"Oasis Midstream Partners remains on track to deliver our targeted 20% annual growth in distributions per unit while simultaneously increasing coverage in coming quarters," said Taylor Reid, Chief Executive Officer of OMP. "We successfully delivered a strong second quarter performance, despite operational downtime at our gas complex. Our resilient financial results highlight the strength and diversity of our portfolio, with strong performance in most commodities offsetting transitory weakness in natural gas. Our coverage outlook remains strong and on track to range from 1.9x to 2.0x exiting 2019. We are ahead of schedule on most infrastructure projects and we continue to build out our Panther DevCo, which will support growth for years to come while maintaining strong coverage."

Outlook Update

    --  Estimate 2019 Adjusted EBITDA, net to the Partnership, to be $154
        million to $161 million, including 2Q 2019 performance.
    --  Estimate gross Adjusted EBITDA by DevCo in 2019 - Bighorn DevCo: $74
        million to $76 million, Bobcat DevCo: $124 million to $127 million,
        Beartooth DevCo: $61 million to $64 million, and Panther DevCo: $1
        million to $3 million.
    --  Panther DevCo is expected to be assigned to OMP by September 1, 2019.
    --  Anticipate distribution coverage for 3Q 2019 of 1.8x to 1.9x and 4Q 2019
        of 1.9x to 2.0x, unchanged from last update.
    --  Updated 2019 CapEx plan to a range of $203 million to $214 million, net
        to OMP. Incremental spending primarily relates to capturing third-party
        business, incremental plant costs, and an acceleration of certain
        gathering infrastructure from 2020 to 2019. CapEx in 3Q 2019 is expected
        to increase compared to 2Q 2019 with the closing of the Panther DevCo
        assignment.
    --  Expect maintenance CapEx for full year 2019 to range between 6% of
        Adjusted EBITDA and 8% of Adjusted EBITDA, with 3Q 2019 around 10% of
        Adjusted EBITDA.
    --  OMP continues to pursue incremental third-party business in both the
        Williston and Delaware basins.

The Partnership's average ownership interest in Bobcat DevCo during the second quarter of 2019 was approximately 31.2%.

Liquidity and CapEx

As of June 30, 2019, the Partnership had cash and cash equivalents of $6.2 million, $408.0 million of borrowings outstanding under its revolving credit facility and an $8.2 million outstanding letter of credit under its revolving credit facility. The Partnership's unused borrowing capacity as of June 30, 2019 was $58.8 million.

Quarterly Distribution

On May 29, 2019, the Partnership paid the quarterly cash distribution of $0.47 per unit related to the first quarter of 2019. On August 6, 2019, the Board of Directors of the General Partner declared the quarterly cash distribution for the second quarter of 2019 of $0.49 per unit.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Cash Interest, Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow 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 (loss), operating income (loss), net cash provided by (used in) operating activities or any other measures prepared under United States generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. Because Cash Interest, Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow 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 defined 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 attributable to Oasis Midstream Partners LP is defined as Adjusted EBITDA less Adjusted EBITDA attributable to Oasis Petroleum's retained interests in two of the Partnership's DevCos, Bobcat DevCo and Beartooth DevCo. 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 the Partnership's ability to generate cash from its business operations without regard to the Partnership's 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 and net cash provided by operating activities.

Distributable Cash Flow ("DCF")

DCF is defined as Adjusted EBITDA attributable to Oasis Midstream Partners LP less Cash Interest attributable to Oasis Midstream Partners LP and maintenance capital expenditures attributable to Oasis Midstream Partners LP. DCF 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 DCF provides information useful to investors and analysts for assessing the Partnership's results of operations, financial performance and the Partnership's ability to generate cash from its business operations without regard to the Partnership's financing methods or capital structure, coupled with the Partnership's ability to make distributions to its unitholders. The GAAP measures most directly comparable to DCF are net income and net cash provided by operating activities.

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