Enviva Partners, LP Reports Financial Results for Third Quarter 2017 and Announces Ninth Consecutive Distribution Increase
BETHESDA, Md.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Enviva Partners, LP (NYSE:EVA) (the “Partnership” or “we”) today
reported financial and operating results for the third quarter of 2017.
Highlights:
-
Declared a quarterly distribution of $0.6150 per unit, a 16.0
percent increase from the distribution paid for the third quarter of
2016 -
Generated net income of $6.3 million and adjusted EBITDA of $26.1
million for the third quarter of 2017, as compared to $10.3 million
and $22.9 million, respectively, for the third quarter of 2016 -
Narrowed the guidance range for the full-year 2017 to net income of
$19.5 million to $21.5 million and adjusted EBITDA of $104.0 million
to $106.0 million -
Reaffirmed distribution guidance for the full-year 2017 of at least
$2.36 per common and subordinated unit
“With the benefits of the process improvements we undertook in the first
half of the year, our facilities are performing at or better than our
expectations, generating strong cash flow in the quarter enabling our
9th consecutive quarterly distribution increase,” said John Keppler,
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Enviva. “In addition, we
continue to build the foundation for long-term growth with increases to
our contracted position and the completion of the Wilmington terminal
drop-down acquisition, which adds capacity in the most critical portion
of our logistics chain.”
Financial Results
For the third quarter of 2017, we generated net revenue of $131.5
million, an increase of 18.7 percent, or $20.7 million, from the
corresponding quarter of 2016. Included in net revenue were product
sales of $125.4 million on a volume of 668,000 metric tons of wood
pellets, representing an increase of $21.8 million from the third
quarter of last year. The increase was attributable to greater sales
volumes, primarily relating to tons produced at our facilities and sold
under the off-take contract acquired as part of the Sampson drop-down
transaction, and was partially offset by contract pricing mix. Other
revenue decreased to $6.0 million for the third quarter of 2017 from
$7.2 million for the corresponding quarter in 2016, primarily due to a
decrease in the fees we earned related to customer requests to cancel,
defer, or accelerate shipments.
For the third quarter of 2017, gross margin was $21.1 million, as
compared to $22.4 million for the corresponding period in 2016, a
decrease of $1.3 million. Gross margin decreased primarily due to higher
depreciation expense, pricing mix, lower other revenue, and higher
production costs, partially offset by higher sales volumes. Adjusted
gross margin per metric ton was $46.49 for the third quarter of 2017, as
compared to $56.88 for the corresponding quarter of last year. Excluding
the benefit of $5.7 million of fees we earned from assisting a single,
third-party pellet producer meet its volume, quality, and sustainability
requirements during the third quarter of 2016, adjusted gross margin per
metric ton for that quarter would have been $46.25.
We generated net income of $6.3 million in the third quarter of 2017, as
compared to $10.3 million for the corresponding quarter of 2016.
Adjusted EBITDA improved to $26.1 million in the third quarter of 2017,
a $3.2 million, or 13.9 percent, increase compared to the corresponding
period in 2016. The increase in adjusted EBITDA was driven by a decrease
in general and administrative expenses attributable to plant development
costs incurred during the construction of the Sampson plant. Net income
decreased primarily due to the higher depreciation expense and an
increase in interest expense.
The Partnership’s distributable cash flow, net of amounts attributable
to incentive distribution rights, decreased from $18.3 million for the
third quarter of 2016 to $16.9 million for the third quarter of 2017.
Distribution
The board of directors of our general partner declared a distribution of
$0.6150 per common and subordinated unit for the third quarter of 2017.
This distribution is 16.0 percent higher than the distribution for the
third quarter of 2016. The Partnership’s distributable cash flow, net of
amounts attributable to incentive distribution rights, of $16.9 million
covers the distribution for the third quarter of 2017 at 1.04 times. The
quarterly distribution will be paid on Wednesday, November 29, 2017, to
unitholders of record as of the close of business on Wednesday,
November 15, 2017.
Wilmington Drop-Down
On October 2, 2017, the Partnership announced the completion of the
acquisition of Enviva Port of Wilmington, LLC (“Wilmington”) from its
sponsor’s joint venture with affiliates of John Hancock Life Insurance
Company (the “Hancock JV”). The Partnership previously agreed to
purchase Wilmington from the Hancock JV for total consideration of
$130.0 million. The Partnership made the initial payment at closing of
$56.0 million, adjusted for estimated working capital, which was funded
with borrowings under the Partnership’s revolving credit facility and
cash on hand. Upon first deliveries to the Wilmington terminal from the
Hancock JV’s production plant in Hamlet, North Carolina that is
currently under construction, the Partnership will make a final payment
of $74.0 million to the Hancock JV, subject to certain conditions.
Financing Activity
On October 10, 2017, the Partnership completed the issuance of $55
million in aggregate principal amount of 8.50% senior unsecured notes
due 2021 at a price of 106.25% of par plus accrued interest from May 1,
2017 (the “Additional Notes”) for an effective yield to maturity of
6.7%. The Additional Notes have the same terms as the outstanding 8.50%
senior unsecured notes due 2021, which the Partnership issued in
November 2016 in an original aggregate principal amount of $300 million.
The Partnership used the net proceeds from the Additional Notes to repay
borrowings on its revolving credit facility, which were used to fund the
acquisition of Wilmington, and for general partnership purposes.
Outlook and Guidance
The Partnership expects full-year 2017 net income to be in the range of
$19.5 million to $21.5 million and adjusted EBITDA to be in the range of
$104.0 million to $106.0 million. The Partnership expects to incur
maintenance capital expenditures of $4.5 million and interest expense
net of amortization of debt issuance costs and original issue discount
of $30.0 million in 2017. As a result, the Partnership expects full-year
distributable cash flow to be in the range of $69.5 million to $71.5
million, prior to any distributions attributable to incentive
distribution rights paid to the general partner. The full-year guidance
implies an adjusted EBITDA range of $30.5 million to $32.5 million for
the fourth quarter. For full-year 2017, the Partnership reaffirms its
distribution guidance of 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 recently completed Wilmington acquisition. 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 9.7
years from October 1, 2017.
The Partnership previously announced an agreement to supply a total of
450,000 metric tons of wood pellets to Engie Energy Management SCRL
(“Engie”) from mid-2017 through and including 2019. The contracted
volumes for 2018 and 2019 are now firm as the conditions precedent have
been satisfied. In addition, the Partnership announced today that it has
entered into an agreement with Dong Energy Thermal Power A/S for the
supply of an incremental 200,000 metric tons from late 2018 through
mid-2021.
Several developments continue to underpin the significant growth in
demand expected in our core markets of Europe and Asia:
-
In Japan, demand for long-term supply of imported wood pellets
continues to grow as several utilities and trading houses have
announced new co-fired and dedicated biomass projects. Japan is
targeting 6.0 to 7.5 gigawatts (“GWs”) of biomass-fired capacity,
which represents demand for 15 to 20 million metric tons per year
(“MTPY”) of biomass, as part of its expected power source mix for
2030. Demand for the 2017 feed-in tariff (“FiT”) program for projects
fueled by imported biomass significantly exceeded expectations, as
applications were submitted for more than 15 GWs of biomass-fired
capacity. -
In South Korea, the importation of wood pellets reached a record high
in the third quarter of 2017, up nearly 70 percent from the same
period of 2016. Additional projects have announced plans for co-firing
and full conversion to wood pellet fuel, consistent with policymakers’
proposal that the renewables portfolio standard (“RPS”) require large
energy companies to source at least 28 percent of their power from
renewable sources by 2030, up from 10 percent in 2023. -
In Belgium, Engie announced that it has been granted a five-year
extension to run its 180 megawatt (“MW”) Max Green power plant in
Ghent, Belgium on biomass. The Max Green facility uses approximately
800,000 MTPY of wood pellets at full capacity. -
In the UK, an 85 MW biomass-fired combined heat & power (“CHP”)
project in Grangemouth, Scotland won a Contract for Difference (CfD)
under the latest UK government auction round for less established
technologies. The government has announced a further CfD auction
round, including biomass CHP, will take place in spring of 2019. -
In Germany, coal-fired power generation needs to be reduced
substantially by 2030 in order to meet the country’s commitments under
the Paris Climate Accord. The Green Party, likely to be part of the
next federal government, has called for a complete phase-out of coal
by 2030. Many current coal-fired CHP facilities are electrical
transmission system-relevant assets and important sources of thermal
energy for German industrial activity. The conversion of coal-fired
power plants to biomass-fired generation has proven to be an effective
complement to intermittent sources of renewable power.
Sponsor Activity
Construction of the 600,000 MTPY production plant in Hamlet, North
Carolina (the “Hamlet plant”) continues to progress. Our sponsor
currently expects the plant will be operational in the first quarter of
2019. Production from the Hamlet plant is expected to supply MGT Power’s
Teesside Renewable Energy Plant, which is currently under construction
in the UK.
Conference Call
We will host a conference call with executive management related to our
third quarter 2017 results, our outlook and guidance, and a more
detailed market update at 10:00 a.m. (Eastern Time) on Thursday,
November 2, 2017. Information on how interested parties may listen to
the conference call is available on the Investor Relations page of our
website (www.envivabiomass.com).
A replay of the conference call will be available on our website after
the live call concludes.

Notice
This press release is intended to be a qualified notice under Treasury
Regulation Section 1.1446-4(b). Brokers and nominees should treat 100
percent of the Partnership’s distributions to non-U.S. investors as
being attributable to income that is effectively connected with a United
States trade or business. Accordingly, the Partnership’s distributions
to non-U.S. investors are subject to federal income tax withholding at
the highest applicable effective tax rate.
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 asset
disposals and 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.
