EnLink Midstream Reports First Quarter 2018 Results, Reaffirms 2018 Guidance, and Announces STACK Crude Oil Gathering Expansion

DALLAS, May 1, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- The EnLink Midstream companies (EnLink), EnLink Midstream Partners, LP (NYSE: ENLK) (the Partnership or ENLK) and EnLink Midstream, LLC (NYSE: ENLC) (the General Partner or ENLC), reported financial results for the first quarter of 2018, reaffirmed full-year 2018 guidance, and announced an expansion of its crude oil gathering system in Central Oklahoma.

Highlights

    --  ENLK reported net income attributable to ENLK after non-controlling
        interest of approximately $60 million for the first quarter of 2018,
        compared to approximately $18 million for the first quarter of 2017.
        This represents approximately 230 percent growth quarter over quarter.
    --  ENLK achieved approximately $244 million of adjusted EBITDA net to ENLK
        for the first quarter of 2018, compared to approximately $208 million
        for the first quarter of 2017. This represents approximately 17 percent
        growth quarter over quarter. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure and
        is explained in greater detail under "Non-GAAP Financial Information."
    --  ENLC reported net income attributable to ENLC after non-controlling
        interest of approximately $12 million for the first quarter of 2018,
        compared to a net loss of approximately $2 million for the first quarter
        of 2017. This represents approximately $14 million growth quarter over
        quarter.
    --  ENLC achieved approximately $57 million of cash available for
        distribution for the first quarter of 2018, compared to approximately
        $51 million for the first quarter of 2017. This represents approximately
        12 percent growth quarter over quarter. Cash available for distribution
        is a non-GAAP measure and is explained in greater detail under "Non-GAAP
        Financial Information."
    --  EnLink reaffirmed full-year 2018 guidance for both ENLK and ENLC.
    --  EnLink completed construction of the first phase of its previously
        announced Black Coyote crude oil gathering system during the first
        quarter of 2018, with the system becoming operational during April 2018.
        EnLink also signed a new commercial contract to provide crude oil
        gathering services for an existing large, active customer in the STACK.
        EnLink is now the primary crude oil gathering service provider for two
        of the largest producers in the STACK. EnLink expects to spend
        approximately $40 million of growth capital during 2018 related to this
        strategic expansion, called the Redbud crude oil gathering system, with
        an expected operational date during the second half of 2018.
    --  EnLink's Oklahoma segment realized strong volume growth during the first
        quarter of 2018. Average gas gathering and transmission volumes
        increased by approximately 10 percent from fourth quarter 2017 and 49
        percent from first quarter 2017. Average processing volumes increased
        approximately 9 percent from fourth quarter 2017 and 64 percent from
        first quarter 2017.

"EnLink continues to execute well on our long-term strategic plan and continues to deliver solid growth in financial results," said Michael J. Garberding, EnLink President and Chief Executive Officer. "Operating in the right places with the right partners has enabled us to develop an opportunity-rich inventory of projects, highlighted by today's announcement of an exciting crude oil gathering expansion in the STACK. We continue to enhance our strategic asset positions while putting highly efficient capital to work across our key growth areas. Our long-term growth outlook is robust, and we remain committed to returning value to unitholders and maintaining a strong balance sheet."

EnLink Midstream Partners, LP: First Quarter 2018 Financial Results

    --  The Partnership reported net income attributable to ENLK of $60.1
        million for the first quarter of 2018, compared to net income of $18.1
        million for the first quarter of 2017.
    --  The Partnership achieved $243.7 million of adjusted EBITDA net to ENLK
        for the first quarter of 2018, compared to $207.6 million for the first
        quarter of 2017.
    --  The Partnership reported net cash provided by operating activities of
        $192.7 million for the first quarter of 2018, compared to net cash
        provided by operating activities of $174.2 million for the first quarter
        of 2017.
    --  Distributable cash flow attributable to ENLK's common units was $171.2
        million for the first quarter of 2018, as compared to $153.0 million for
        the first quarter of 2017. Distributable cash flow is a non-GAAP measure
        and is explained in greater detail under "Non-GAAP Financial
        Information."
    --  ENLK reaffirmed its full-year 2018 guidance, which includes net income
        of $255 million to $315 million and adjusted EBITDA of $950 million to
        $1.02 billion.
    --  Distribution coverage was 1.12x for the first quarter of 2018, compared
        to 1.01x for the first quarter of 2017.
    --  Debt to adjusted EBITDA as of March 31, 2018 was 3.85x, compared to
        3.99x as of March 31, 2017.
    --  Growth capital expenditures net to ENLK for the first quarter of 2018
        totaled approximately $138 million. Total EnLink funded capital
        expenditures outlook remains unchanged for 2018, however, segment level
        growth capital expenditure outlook has been adjusted to reflect the new
        Redbud crude oil gathering system expansion in Oklahoma and the expected
        timing of gas opportunities in and around the Gulf Coast region:
        --  Crude and condensate range has increased by $40 million
        --  Louisiana range has decreased by $40 million
    --  Full-year 2018 growth capital expenditure outlook net to ENLK is now at
        a range of $580 million to $710 million, which reflects a $5 million
        reduction from the previous range of $585 million to $715 million. The
        reduction in growth capital expenditures outlook net to ENLK is offset
        by an equal increase in ENLC's growth capital expenditure outlook due to
        a reduction in projects funded solely by ENLK and the addition of Redbud
        which is jointly funded.
    --  As of April 26, 2018, ENLK had 350,243,418 common units outstanding.

EnLink Midstream, LLC: First Quarter 2018 Financial Results

    --  The General Partner reported net income attributable to ENLC of $12.4
        million for the first quarter of 2018, compared to a net loss of $1.9
        million for the first quarter of 2017.
    --  ENLC's cash available for distribution totaled $56.6 million for the
        first quarter of 2018, compared to $51.0 million for the first quarter
        of 2017. The cash available for distribution for the first quarter of
        2018 included $8.9 million related to ENLC's approximately 16 percent
        interest in EnLink Oklahoma Gas Processing LP (together with its
        subsidiaries, "EnLink Oklahoma T.O.").
    --  ENLC reaffirmed its full-year 2018 guidance, which includes net income
        of $233 million to $291 million, and cash available for distribution of
        $230 million to $240 million.
    --  Growth capital expenditures net to ENLC for the first quarter of 2018
        totaled approximately $12 million. Full-year 2018 growth capital
        expenditure outlook net to ENLC has increased due to the crude oil
        gathering expansion in the STACK, with the expected range now being $50
        million to $60 million, up $5 million from the previous range of $45
        million to $55 million.
    --  Distribution coverage was 1.18x for the first quarter of 2018, compared
        to 1.09x for the first quarter of 2017.
    --  As of April 26, 2018, ENLC had 181,042,318 common units outstanding.

Regional Updates:

Central Oklahoma:

    --  EnLink's Oklahoma segment reported strong segment profit growth during
        the first quarter of 2018, achieving an approximate 11 percent increase
        over the fourth quarter of 2017 and achieving an approximate 80 percent
        increase from the first quarter 2017. The pace of growth in the Oklahoma
        segment anchors management's confidence in the strength of the STACK
        play and the ability to achieve 2018 year guidance.
    --  EnLink's Oklahoma segment experienced solid volume growth during the
        first quarter of 2018, including average gas gathering and transmission
        volume increases of 10 percent and average processing volume increases
        of 9 percent, in each case, as compared to the fourth quarter of 2017.
        Average gas gathering and transmission volumes increased 49 percent and
        average processing volumes increased approximately 64 percent, in each
        case, from the first quarter of 2017. Volume growth in Central Oklahoma
        is expected to remain robust as Devon Energy Corp. and other large
        active producer customers on EnLink's dedicated acreage continue to
        deliver strong well results and transition to full-field development.
    --  EnLink's previously announced Thunderbird processing plant is
        progressing well and remains on track to be operational during the first
        quarter of 2019. Once operational, Thunderbird will increase EnLink's
        gas processing capacity in Central Oklahoma by 200 million cubic feet
        per day (MMcf/d), bringing total gas processing capacity to
        approximately 1.2 Bcf/d and reinforcing EnLink's position as one of the
        largest and most cost-efficient providers of natural gas processing in
        the STACK.
    --  During the first quarter of 2018, Devon brought Coyote on-line, its
        first large scale development. Coyote is comprised of seven wells, four
        of which are currently producing, and the development is delivering
        record flow rates. Devon announced that its Showboat development, which
        is comprised of 24 wells, is in progress and is currently 40 days ahead
        of plan. According to Devon, Showboat's first production was achieved in
        April, and well tie-ins are staggered over the next two months. Devon
        has indicated that it expects Showboat to be fully producing by the end
        of the second quarter of 2018.
    --  EnLink placed the first phase of its crude oil gathering system, Black
        Coyote, into service in April of 2018. Black Coyote will initially
        gather volumes primarily from Devon's Showboat development and is
        expected to connect to all of Devon's near-term large-scale development
        projects. Devon is concentrating resources in the over-pressured oil
        window, which has the best returns in the play, and Devon expects to
        have eight large-scale developments underway by year end.
    --  EnLink continues to enhance its core position in Central Oklahoma with
        the signing of a new commercial contract to provide additional crude oil
        gathering services for an existing large and active customer in the
        STACK. This project, called the Redbud crude oil gathering system, will
        build upon the Black Coyote footprint, with total 2018 growth capital
        expenditures related to this expansion expected to be approximately $40
        million. ENLC will fund approximately 16 percent of the capital
        expenditures related to this project, with ENLK funding the remainder.
        EnLink is now the primary crude oil gathering service provider for two
        of the largest producers in the STACK.

Midland Basin:

    --  EnLink's Midland Basin natural gas volume activity remained sequentially
        flat, as the pace of well completions in the first quarter of 2018 was
        slower than forecasted. Volumes exited March 2018 above the quarterly
        average and have continued to increase since the end of the quarter.
        Volumes have increased by approximately 12 percent from the first
        quarter of 2017, and one of EnLink's largest producer customers recently
        announced the acquisition of another of EnLink's largest producer
        customers. The combined company is expected to run one of the largest
        drilling program in the Permian Basin, which will likely benefit EnLink.
    --  EnLink's Midland Basin natural gas processing facilities averaged
        approximately 60 percent utilization of total capacity in the first
        quarter of 2018. EnLink's position in the Midland Basin reflects an
        attractive opportunity for additional low-cost, high-return expansions,
        including filling available capacity. EnLink also has the infrastructure
        in place to cost effectively expand the Riptide processing facility by
        an additional 100 MMcf/d as system volumes continue to increase.
    --  EnLink's Chickadee crude oil gathering operations in the Midland Basin
        have achieved recent success with the addition of two new customers to
        the system. The new projects are expected to be accretive to volumes and
        segment profit during 2018, and leverage the gathering platform in
        place. EnLink continues to successfully execute its crude oil gathering
        strategy in the Permian Basin, and EnLink's proven capabilities are
        attracting new opportunities.

Delaware Basin:

    --  Volumes across EnLink's Delaware Basin Joint Venture (JV) system were
        roughly flat sequentially, as the pace of well completions in the first
        quarter of 2018 was slower than forecasted. Volumes exited the first
        quarter of 2018 above the quarterly average, and have continued to
        increase since the end of the quarter. Volumes have increased by
        approximately 110 percent from the first quarter of 2017. Rig activity
        remains strong on the JV's footprint, and solid volume growth is
        expected for the second half of 2018 and into 2019.
    --  The JV previously announced the construction of Lobo III, a new 200
        MMcf/d expansion of gas processing capacity at the existing Lobo
        complex. The construction of the facility is progressing well and is
        expected to be operational during the second half of 2018.

Louisiana:

    --  EnLink's natural gas liquids (NGL) network continues to benefit from
        growth in liquids output from EnLink's Chisholm processing complex in
        the STACK. NGLs produced from EnLink's Chisholm complex are
        preferentially shipped to EnLink's Gulf Coast operations for further
        transportation, fractionation and downstream value creation. NGL volumes
        on EnLink's system were up slightly during the first quarter of 2018
        from a very strong fourth quarter of 2017, and volumes are expected to
        remain roughly in-line with first quarter of 2018 levels for the
        remainder of 2018.
    --  EnLink continued to experience increased volumes on its Louisiana gas
        system during the first quarter of 2018, driven by strong demand across
        its Gulf Coast network. Gathering and transmission throughput on
        EnLink's Louisiana gas system hit record highs during the first quarter
        of 2018, exceeding, on average, 2.2 Bcf/d. This growth reflects a six
        percent increase as compared to the fourth quarter of 2017 and 15
        percent growth as compared to the first quarter of 2017. Volumes are
        expected to remain above initial guidance expectations for the balance
        of 2018.

North Texas:

    --  Devon recently announced a joint venture with Dow Chemical Co. in the
        liquids-rich area of the Barnett Shale, where the two companies plan to
        partner in the drilling of up to 116 new wells over a five-year period,
        with approximately 20 wells expected to be drilled in 2018. Devon's
        stated intention is to execute a capital program that stabilizes
        production for its retained assets in the area, which in turn will
        assist in stabilizing EnLink's long-term volume outlook as volumes
        naturally decline in this mature basin.
    --  Devon also recently announced the sale of its Johnson County acreage,
        and EnLink is encouraged by the potential for the incoming producer to
        bring an increased focus on optimizing existing wells, new refrac
        activity and potential new well drilling plans. The acreage produces
        volumes that represent approximately 7 percent of EnLink's North Texas
        revenues, and incremental capital and focus in this area is expected to
        positively impact volumes.

Non-GAAP Financial Information & Other Definitions
This press release contains non-generally accepted accounting principles financial measures that we refer to as adjusted EBITDA, distributable cash flow available to common unitholders ("distributable cash flow"), and the General Partner's cash available for distribution. We define adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) plus interest expense, provision (benefit) for income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense, impairments , unit-based compensation, (gain) loss on non-cash derivatives, (gain) loss on disposition of assets, (gain) loss on extinguishment of debt, successful acquisition transaction costs (if any), accretion expense associated with asset retirement obligations, non-cash rent and distributions from unconsolidated affiliate investments less payments under onerous performance obligations, non-controlling interest and (income) loss from unconsolidated affiliate investments. We define distributable cash flow as adjusted EBITDA (defined above), net to the Partnership, less interest expense (excluding amortization of the EnLink Oklahoma T.O. acquisition installment payable discount), litigation settlement adjustment, adjustments for the redeemable non-controlling interest, interest rate swaps, current income taxes and other non-distributable cash flows, accrued cash distributions on Series B Preferred Units and Series C Preferred Units paid or expected to be paid, and maintenance capital expenditures, excluding maintenance capital expenditures that were contributed by other entities and relate to the non-controlling interest share of our consolidated entities. The General Partner's cash available for distribution is defined as net income (loss) of the General Partner less the net income (loss) attributable to the Partnership, which is consolidated into the General Partner's net income (loss), plus the General Partner's (i) share of distributions from the Partnership, (ii) share of EnLink Oklahoma T.O.'s non-cash expenses, (iii) deferred income tax expense (benefit), (iv) corporate goodwill impairment, if any, and (v) successful acquisition transaction costs, if any, less the General Partner's interest in maintenance capital expenditures of EnLink Oklahoma T.O., and less third-party non-controlling interest share of the Partnership's net income (loss) from consolidated affiliates.

The Partnership's distribution coverage is calculated by dividing distributable cash flow by distributions declared to the General Partner and the common unitholders. The General Partner's distribution coverage is calculated by dividing cash available for distribution by distributions declared by the General Partner.

Growth capital expenditures generally include capital expenditures made for acquisitions or capital improvements that we expect will increase our asset base, operating income or operating capacity over the long-term. Maintenance capital expenditures generally include capital expenditures made to replace partially or fully depreciated assets in order to maintain the existing operating capacity of the assets and to extend their useful lives.

The Partnership and General Partner believe these measures are useful to investors because they may provide users of this financial information with meaningful comparisons between current results and previously-reported results and a meaningful measure of each of the Partnership's and the General Partner's cash flow after it has satisfied the capital and related requirements of its operations. In addition, adjusted EBITDA achievement is a primary metric used in the Partnership's credit facility and short-term incentive program for compensating its employees.

Segment profit (loss) is defined as operating income (loss) plus general and administrative expenses, depreciation and amortization, (gain) loss on disposition of assets, impairments and (gain) loss on litigation settlement. Segment profit (loss) includes non-cash compensation expenses reflected in operating expenses. See "Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data - Note 15 - Segment Information" in ENLK's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, and, when available, "Item 1. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data - Note 11--Segment Information" in ENLK's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2018, for further information about segment profit (loss)

Adjusted EBITDA, distributable cash flow, and cash available for distribution, as defined above, are not measures of financial performance or liquidity under GAAP. They should not be considered in isolation or as an indicator of the Partnership's and the General Partner's performance. Furthermore, they should not be seen as a substitute for metrics prepared in accordance with GAAP. Reconciliations of these measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measures are included in the following tables. See ENLK's and ENLC's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission for more information.

    (1)              The forecasted net income guidance
                     for the year ended December 31, 2018
                     excludes the potential impact of
                     gains or losses on derivative
                     activity, gains or losses on
                     disposition of assets, impairment
                     expense, gains or losses as a result
                     of legal settlements, gains or
                     losses on extinguishment of debt,
                     and the financial effects of future
                     acquisitions. The exclusion of these
                     items is due to the uncertainty
                     regarding the occurrence, timing,
                     and/or amount of these events.


                    EnLink Midstream does not provide a
                     reconciliation of forward-looking
                     Net Cash Provided by Operating
                     Activities to Adjusted EBITDA
                     because the companies are unable to
                     predict with reasonable certainty
                     changes in working capital, which
                     may impact cash provided or used
                     during the year. Working capital
                     includes accounts receivable,
                     accounts payable and other current
                     assets and liabilities. These items
                     are uncertain and depend on various
                     factors outside the companies'
                     control.


    (2)              Net income includes estimated net
                     income attributable to ENLK's non-

                     Oklahoma T.O., NGP's 49.9% share of
                     net income from the Delaware Basin
                     JV, and Marathon's 50% share of net
                     income from the Ascension JV.


    (3)              Non-controlling interest share of
                     adjusted EBITDA includes ENLC's
                     16.1% share of adjusted EBITDA from
                     EnLink Oklahoma T.O., NGP's 49.9%
                     share of adjusted EBITDA from the
                     Delaware Basin JV, Marathon
                     Petroleum's 50% share of adjusted
                     EBITDA from the Ascension JV, and
                     other minor non-controlling
                     interests.
