HOUSTON, Nov. 4, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Western Midstream Partners, LP (NYSE: WES) ("WES" or the "Partnership") announced third-quarter 2019 financial and operating results. Net income (loss) available to limited partners for the third quarter of 2019 totaled $121.2 million, or $0.27 per common unit (diluted), with third-quarter 2019 Adjusted EBITDA⁽¹⁾ totaling $410.2 million and third-quarter 2019 Distributable cash flow⁽¹⁾ totaling $304.4 million.

RECENT HIGHLIGHTS

Achieved record West Texas Complex gas throughput of 1.27 Bcf/d for third quarter, representing an 8% sequential-quarter increase
Achieved record Delaware Basin water throughput of 580 MBbls/d for third quarter, representing a 13% sequential-quarter increase
Achieved record DJ Basin and West Texas oil throughput of 275 MBbls/d for third quarter, representing a 9% sequential-quarter increase
Estimated 2019 total capital expenditures near the 2019 low-end guidance range of $1.3 billion to $1.4 billion
Estimated preliminary 2020 outlook to include meaningful year-over-year Adjusted EBITDA growth and a total capital expenditures reduction

For the third quarter of 2019, WES declared a per-unit quarterly distribution of $0.6200. This represents WES's 27^th consecutive quarterly distribution increase and is consistent with WES's 2019 annual distribution growth-guidance range of 5% to 6%. The third-quarter 2019 Coverage ratio⁽¹⁾ was 1.08 times.


⁽¹⁾ Please see the tables at the end of this release for a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP measures and calculation of the Coverage ratio.

"We continue to experience strong throughput growth in the DJ and Delaware Basins, where we are well-positioned to support Oxy's future development plans and service our highly valued third-party customers," said Chief Executive Officer, Michael Ure. "Our extensive and highly leverageable assets and dedicated workforce throughout these two basins enable us to pace our growth with that of Oxy and to adopt a renewed focus on attracting meaningful and sustainable third-party business."

Third-quarter 2019 total natural gas throughput⁽¹⁾ averaged 4.2 Bcf/d, representing a 2% sequential-quarter decline and a 6% increase from third-quarter 2018. Excluding the effects of since-resolved downstream constraints impacting our Rockies assets, third-quarter natural gas throughput would have been approximately 110 MMcf/d higher than reported and would have represented a 1% sequential-quarter increase and a 9% increase from third-quarter 2018. Third-quarter 2019 total throughput of crude oil, NGLs, and produced-water assets⁽¹⁾ averaged 1,191 MBbls/d, representing an 8% sequential-quarter increase and a 28% increase from third-quarter 2018. Third-quarter 2019 capital expenditures⁽²⁾, including equity investments and excluding acquisitions and capitalized interest, totaled $265.2 million on a cash basis and $278.2 million on an accrual basis, with cash maintenance capital expenditures totaling $29.2 million.

PRELIMINARY 2020 OUTLOOK

Total capital expenditures are expected to decline 20% – 30%, compared to the midpoint of 2019 guidance
Adjusted EBITDA is expected to grow approximately 10% year-over-year
Maintenance capital is expected to remain largely consistent as a percentage of Adjusted EBITDA, compared to 2019

"Our 2020 goals will encompass delivering capital-efficient, organic growth from our DJ and Delaware Basin assets," said Michael Ure. "With our backbone infrastructure in place, we remain committed to driving operational efficiencies alongside additional growth that should enable sustained distribution increases."


⁽¹⁾ Represents total throughput attributable to WES, which excludes the 25% third-party interest in Chipeta and the 2.0% Occidental subsidiary-owned limited partner interest in WES Operating, which collectively represent WES's noncontrolling interests as of September 30, 2019.
⁽²⁾ Excludes capital expenditures associated with the 25% third-party interest in Chipeta.

A number of factors could cause actual results to differ materially from the projections, anticipated results or other expectations expressed in this news release.

RECONCILIATION OF GAAP TO NON-GAAP MEASURES

Below are reconciliations of (i) net income (loss) (GAAP) to WES's Distributable cash flow (non-GAAP), (ii) net income (loss) (GAAP) and net cash provided by operating activities (GAAP) to Adjusted EBITDA attributable to Western Midstream Partners, LP ("Adjusted EBITDA") (non-GAAP), and (iii) operating income (loss) (GAAP) to Adjusted gross margin attributable to Western Midstream Partners, LP ("Adjusted gross margin") (non-GAAP), as required under Regulation G of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Management believes that WES's Distributable cash flow, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted gross margin, and Coverage ratio are widely accepted financial indicators of WES's financial performance compared to other publicly traded partnerships and are useful in assessing WES's ability to incur and service debt, fund capital expenditures, and make distributions. Distributable cash flow, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted gross margin, and Coverage ratio, as defined by WES, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Therefore, WES's Distributable cash flow, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted gross margin, and Coverage ratio should be considered in conjunction with net income (loss) attributable to Western Midstream Partners, LP and other applicable performance measures, such as operating income (loss) or cash flows from operating activities.

WES defines "Distributable cash flow" as Adjusted EBITDA, plus interest income and the net settlement amounts from the sale and/or purchase of natural gas, condensate, and NGLs under WES Operating's commodity-price swap agreements to the extent such amounts are not recognized as Adjusted EBITDA, less Service revenues – fee based recognized in Adjusted EBITDA in excess of (less than) customer billings, net cash paid (or to be paid) for interest expense (including amortization of deferred debt issuance costs originally paid in cash, offset by non-cash capitalized interest), maintenance capital expenditures, income taxes, and Distributable cash flow attributable to noncontrolling interests to the extent such amounts are not excluded from Adjusted EBITDA.

WES defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss), plus distributions from equity investments, non-cash equity-based compensation expense, interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, impairments, and other expense (including lower of cost or market inventory adjustments recorded in cost of product), less gain (loss) on divestiture and other, net, income from equity investments, interest income, income tax benefit, other income, and the noncontrolling interests owners' proportionate share of revenues and expenses.

WES defines Adjusted gross margin as total revenues and other (less reimbursements for electricity-related expenses recorded as revenue), less cost of product, plus distributions from equity investments, and excluding the noncontrolling interests owners' proportionate share of revenues and cost of product.
