Enviva Partners, LP Reports Increased Financial Results for First Quarter 2017 and Announces Wilmington Terminal Drop-Down





BETHESDA, Md.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Enviva Partners, LP (NYSE: EVA) (the “Partnership” or “we”) today
reported financial and operating results for the first quarter of 2017.

Highlights:

  • Generated net income of $2.5 million and adjusted EBITDA of $22.9
    million for the first quarter of 2017, as compared to $5.5 million and
    $16.6 million, respectively, for the first quarter of 2016
  • Declared a quarterly distribution of $0.5550 per unit, an 8.8
    percent increase from the distribution paid for the first quarter of
    2016
  • Agreed to acquire the Wilmington terminal and associated contracts
    early in the fourth quarter of 2017
  • Revised full-year 2017 guidance for net income to a range of $29.0
    million to $33.0 million and adjusted EBITDA to a range of $111.0
    million to $115.0 million, including the impact of the acquisition of
    the Wilmington terminal but excluding the impact of any additional
    drop-downs or third-party acquisitions

“Enviva delivered solid operating performance in what typically is our
softest quarter,” said John Keppler, Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer. “Combined with the benefit of our recently acquired Sampson
plant and DONG Energy off-take contract, we are right on track, year
over year. With the expected fourth quarter lift from the Wilmington
terminal acquisition, we are pleased to increase our 2017 distribution
guidance to at least $2.36 per unit.”

Financial Results

For the first quarter of 2017, we generated net revenue of $122.1
million, an increase of 13.9 percent, or $14.9 million, from the
corresponding quarter of 2016. Included in net revenue was product sales
of $119.0 million on volume of 623,000 metric tons of wood pellets,
representing an increase of $15.6 million from the corresponding quarter
of last year. The increase in product sales primarily was due to higher
sales volumes under our off-take contract with DONG Energy Thermal Power
A/S, which we acquired in connection with the Sampson drop-down
transaction on December 14, 2016 (the “Sampson Drop-Down”). Other
revenue decreased to $3.1 million for the first quarter of 2017 from
$3.8 million for the corresponding quarter in 2016.

For the first quarter of 2017, gross margin improved to $18.5 million,
an increase of $2.7 million from the corresponding period in 2016, and
we generated net income of $2.5 million compared to $5.5 million for the
corresponding quarter of 2016. Adjusted EBITDA improved to $22.9 million
in the first quarter of 2017, a $6.3 million, or 38.3 percent, increase
compared to the corresponding period in 2016. The increases in gross
margin and adjusted EBITDA were driven by increased product sales due to
the Sampson Drop-Down and a favorable customer and shipping contract
mix. Adjusted gross margin per metric ton was $43.19 for the first
quarter of 2017, as compared to $40.42 for the first quarter of 2016.
Net income decreased primarily due to higher interest expense.

The Partnership’s distributable cash flow, net of amounts attributable
to incentive distribution rights, increased from $12.7 million for the
first quarter of 2016 to $14.6 million for the first quarter of 2017,
resulting in a distribution coverage ratio of 1.00 times.

Distribution

As announced on May 3, 2017, the board of directors of our general
partner declared a distribution of $0.5550 per common and subordinated
unit for the first quarter of 2017. This distribution is 8.8 percent
higher than the distribution for the first quarter of 2016 and 3.7
percent higher than the distribution for the fourth quarter of 2016. The
quarterly distribution will be paid on Tuesday, May 30, 2017, to
unitholders of record as of the close of business on Thursday, May 18,
2017.

Agreement to Purchase Wilmington Terminal

The Partnership has agreed to purchase Enviva Port of Wilmington, LLC
(“Wilmington”) from Enviva Wilmington Holdings, LLC (the “Hancock JV”),
a joint venture between our sponsor and affiliates of John Hancock Life
Insurance Company, for total consideration of $130.0 million comprised
of two payments as described below. Wilmington owns a fully operational
deep-water marine terminal in Wilmington, North Carolina (the
“Wilmington terminal”) that we expect to generate approximately $16.0
million in incremental adjusted EBITDA when it reaches its currently
contracted run-rate.1 The acquisition of Wilmington (the
“Wilmington Drop-Down”) is expected to close on or about October 2,
2017, subject to customary closing conditions.

The Wilmington terminal is capable of receiving product by rail and
truck, storing up to 90,000 metric tons of wood pellets, and loading up
to panamax-sized vessels. Wilmington is party to long-term terminal
services agreements to receive, store, and load a total of approximately
1.0 million metric tons per year (“MTPY”) of wood pellets from the
Partnership’s production plant in Sampson County, North Carolina (the
“Sampson plant”) and a third-party production plant for our sponsor,
subject to deficiency payments if minimum throughput requirements are
not met. The Wilmington terminal utilizes state-of-the-art handling
equipment and storage infrastructure designed to maintain product
quality and safety with throughput capacity of up to 3.0 million MTPY of
wood pellets.

The Partnership will make an initial payment of $56.0 million for
Wilmington at closing. Upon the acquisition of Wilmington, we initially
expect to generate incremental adjusted EBITDA of approximately $5.0
million for 2018 and run-rate incremental adjusted EBITDA of
approximately $8.0 million in 2019. The Partnership expects to fund the
initial purchase price with borrowings under its revolving credit
facility.

In addition, Wilmington is party to a long-term terminal services
agreement with the Hancock JV to receive, store, and load wood pellets
from the Hancock JV’s planned production plant in Hamlet, North Carolina
(the “Hamlet plant”). Wilmington’s terminal services agreement for
production from the Hamlet plant is also subject to deficiency payments
if minimum throughput requirements are not met. Our sponsor is
completing the detailed design of the fully-financed Hamlet plant and
has commenced site work and equipment procurement, with full
construction of the build-and-copy replica of the Sampson plant expected
to begin later this year and completion anticipated for late 2018.
Production from the Hamlet plant is expected to supply MGT Power’s
Teesside Renewable Energy Plant, which is currently under construction
in the United Kingdom. Upon first deliveries to the Wilmington terminal
from the Hamlet plant, the Partnership will make another payment of
$74.0 million, subject to certain conditions. When the Hamlet plant
commences operations, we expect the incremental adjusted EBITDA from
Wilmington to increase to $14.0 million and to reach $16.0 million per
year once the Hamlet plant reaches its expected full production rate of
600,000 MTPY.

For the Wilmington Drop-Down, Evercore served as exclusive financial
advisor and Andrews Kurth Kenyon LLP served as legal counsel to the
conflicts committee of the board of directors of the Partnership’s
general partner. Vinson & Elkins LLP served as legal counsel to the
Hancock JV.

Outlook and Guidance

The Partnership has adjusted its full-year 2017 guidance to reflect the
expected timing and partial year impact of the Wilmington Drop-Down. The
Partnership expects full-year 2017 net income to be in the range of
$29.0 million to $33.0 million and adjusted EBITDA to be in the range of
$111.0 million to $115.0 million. The Partnership expects to incur
maintenance capital expenditures of $5.1 million and interest expense
net of amortization of debt issuance costs and original issue discount
of $29.7 million in 2017. As a result, the Partnership expects full-year
distributable cash flow to be in the range of $76.2 million to $80.2
million, prior to any distributions attributable to incentive
distribution rights paid to the general partner. For full-year 2017, we
now expect to distribute at least $2.36 per common and subordinated
unit. The guidance amounts provided above do not include the impact of
any additional acquisitions from the Partnership’s sponsor or third
parties beyond the Wilmington Drop-Down. Although deliveries to our
customers are generally ratable over the year, the Partnership’s
quarterly income and cash flow are subject to the mix of customer
shipments made, which may vary from period to period. As such, the board
of directors of the Partnership’s general partner evaluates the
Partnership’s distribution coverage ratio on an annual basis when
determining the distribution for a quarter.

Market and Contracting Update

Our sales strategy is to fully contract the production capacity of the
Partnership. Our current capacity is matched with a portfolio of
off-take contracts that has a weighted-average remaining term of 9.8
years from April 1, 2017.

Several recent developments continue to underpin the significant growth
in demand expected for wood pellets, especially in our core markets of
Europe and Asia:

  • As the European Union’s proposed 2030 goals for further emissions
    reductions and increased renewable energy generation progress through
    the legislative process, the European Union is developing a new
    strategy to almost completely decarbonize its economy by 2050. In
    addition, EURELECTRIC, an association that represents 3,500 companies
    across the European electricity industry, announced that power
    generators in most European Union countries committed to eliminate
    investment in new coal-fired power plants after 2020. These events
    demonstrate both the continued regulatory and energy industry support
    for further de-carbonization in Europe.
  • The United Kingdom (the “UK”) recently completed a full 24-hour period
    without burning coal to generate electricity, a major milestone in its
    efforts to displace coal-fired generation. In addition, the UK
    Department of Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (the “BEIS”)
    completed a study that confirmed wood fiber sourced using practices
    employed in the Southeast United States is a low-carbon, sustainable
    source of energy. After agreeing last year to extend the UK
    government’s powers to award new contract for difference (CfD)
    incentives for low-carbon energy projects out to 2026, the BEIS is now
    considering the potential implications of the study on future policy
    decisions and CfD awards.
  • The Japanese government recently reconfirmed the targeted power source
    mix for 2030. The program includes 6.0 to 7.5 gigawatts of
    biomass-fired capacity, which represents demand for 15 to 20 million
    MTPY of biomass. Additional biomass-fired power projects have been
    announced, including Kansai Electric Power’s potential conversion of
    its Aioi power plant to wood pellets under a joint venture with
    Mitsubishi Corporation Power and Chubu Electric’s plan to build a new
    co-fired unit with capacity of approximately 1.0 gigawatt at its
    Taketoyo power facility.
  • Driven by consumer preference, several multi-national corporations
    have announced specific commitments to significantly reduce carbon
    emissions and increase adoption of renewable energy across their
    operations and supply chains. Biomass-fired generation for the power
    and thermal needs of these operations is a reliable complement to
    intermittent wind and solar power.

We remain in active discussions with customers in Europe and Asia for
long-term off-take contracts for the supply of wood pellets to be
fulfilled directly by the Partnership and by new capacity under
development by our sponsor throughout the Southeast United States,
including at its sites in Lucedale, Mississippi and Abbeville, Alabama,
as well as other sites positioned to take advantage of the existing
terminal capacity at the Chesapeake and Wilmington terminals. In
addition, our sponsor continues to evaluate its option to build and
operate a marine export terminal at the Port of Pascagoula, Mississippi,
which could support wood pellet production from a potential production
plant in Lucedale, Mississippi and other potential facilities in the
region.

1 A reconciliation of Wilmington’s estimated
incremental adjusted EBITDA to account for anticipated throughput
from the Hamlet plant to the closest GAAP financial measure is not
provided because GAAP net income generated by the Wilmington
terminal is not available without unreasonable effort, in part
because the amount of estimated incremental interest expense
related to the financing of the additional payment due upon first
deliveries from the Hamlet plant is not available at this time.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We use adjusted gross margin per metric ton, adjusted EBITDA, and
distributable cash flow to measure our financial performance.


Adjusted Gross Margin per Metric Ton

We define adjusted gross margin as gross margin excluding depreciation
and amortization included in cost of goods sold. We believe adjusted
gross margin per metric ton is a meaningful measure because it compares
our revenue-generating activities to our operating costs for a view of
profitability and performance on a per metric ton basis. Adjusted gross
margin per metric ton will primarily be affected by our ability to meet
targeted production volumes and to control direct and indirect costs
associated with procurement and delivery of wood fiber to our production
plants and the production and distribution of wood pellets.


Adjusted EBITDA

We define adjusted EBITDA as net income or loss excluding depreciation
and amortization, interest expense, income tax expense, early retirement
of debt obligations, non-cash unit compensation expense, asset
impairments and disposals, and certain items of income or loss that we
characterize as unrepresentative of our ongoing operations. Adjusted
EBITDA is a supplemental measure used by our management and other users
of our financial statements, such as investors, commercial banks, and
research analysts, to assess the financial performance of our assets
without regard to financing methods or capital structure.


Distributable Cash Flow

We define distributable cash flow as adjusted EBITDA less maintenance
capital expenditures and interest expense net of amortization of debt
issuance costs and original issue discounts. We use distributable cash
flow as a performance metric to compare the cash-generating performance
of the Partnership from period to period and to compare the
cash-generating performance for specific periods to the cash
distributions (if any) that are expected to be paid to our unitholders.
We do not rely on distributable cash flow as a liquidity measure.

Adjusted gross margin per metric ton, adjusted EBITDA, and distributable
cash flow are not financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP.
We believe that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures
provides useful information to investors in assessing our financial
condition and results of operations. Our non-GAAP financial measures
should not be considered as alternatives to the most directly comparable
GAAP financial measures. Each of these non-GAAP financial measures has
important limitations as an analytical tool because they exclude some,
but not all, items that affect the most directly comparable GAAP
financial measures. You should not consider adjusted gross margin per
metric ton, adjusted EBITDA, or distributable cash flow in isolation or
as substitutes for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Our
definitions of these non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable
to similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing
their utility.

The following tables present a reconciliation of adjusted gross margin
per metric ton, adjusted EBITDA, and distributable cash flow to the most
directly comparable GAAP financial measures, as applicable, for each of
the periods indicated.
