Second Quarter Adjusted EBITDA Increased 23% Over Previous Quarter
TULSA, Okla., Aug. 8, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SemGroup ® Corporation (NYSE: SEMG ) (SemGroup) today announced its financial results for the three months ended June 30, 2013.
SemGroup's adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (Adjusted EBITDA) was $43.6 million for the second quarter 2013, compared to $35.5 million for the first quarter 2013 and $30.3 million for the second quarter 2012, an increase of 23% and an increase of 44%, respectively. Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP measure, is reconciled to net income below.
"SemGroup's second quarter offered solid results, as we continue to execute on our long-term strategic growth plans, focused on infrastructure demands in the mid-continent," said Norm Szydlowski, president and chief executive officer of SemGroup. "We have added meaningfully to our portfolio of announced organic growth projects such as the expansion of White Cliffs Pipeline and acquisitions including the one we recently closed to acquire gas gathering and processing assets in the Mississippi Lime play. These investments will increase our presence in our key growth areas and provide strong shareholder value for years to come."
Second Quarter 2013 Adjusted EBITDA Highlights
Compared to the First Quarter 2013
- SemGas increased by $3.8 million largely driven by a 29% increase in processing volumes in the Mississippi Lime play;
- SemCAMS increased by $3.1 million primarily related to a $2.0 million increase in overhead revenue from the KA plant turnaround and approximately $1.0 million of higher capital fees from new well connects;
- SemMaterials Mexico was higher by $3.1 million due to favorable margins and higher volumes; and
- Crude Adjusted EBITDA declined by $1.3 million primarily related to a decrease in marketing margins from lower crude oil market conditions compared to strong first quarter 2013 results.
SemGroup reported revenues for second quarter 2013 of $324.2 million with net income attributable to SemGroup of $3.6 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, compared to revenues of $287.7 million with a net income attributable to SemGroup of $43.4 million, or $1.03 per diluted share, for the first quarter 2013. For the second quarter 2012, revenues totaled $331.8 million with net income of $5.1 million, or $0.12 per diluted share. Net income for the second quarter 2013 was down from the prior quarter primarily due to the absence of a $54 million income tax benefit realized in the first quarter 2013.
Dividend
The SemGroup board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend to common shareholders of $0.20 per share, resulting in an annualized distribution of $0.80 per share. This represents a 5.3% increase from the initial quarterly dividend of $0.19. The company is targeting a 10% increase in dividends paid in 2013 and anticipates a double-digit annual dividend growth rate for the next three years. The dividend will be paid on August 30, 2013 to all common shareholders of record on August 19, 2013.
Recent Developments
- August 1, 2013, closed acquisition of Mississippi Lime gas gathering and processing assets from Chesapeake Energy Corporation;
- Rose Rock Midstream ® executed a definitive agreement on August 1, 2013, to acquire transportation assets from Barcas Field Services. The proposed acquisition includes 114 trucks with operations in eight states in key production areas and a long-term take-or-pay customer transportation agreement;
- August 6, 2013, increased ownership of NGL Energy Partners GP interest from 6.4% to 11.8%.
2013 Guidance
SemGroup reaffirms 2013 consolidated Adjusted EBITDA guidance of $165 million to $175 million, an increase of approximately 25% from the midpoint of guidance over 2012 results of $135 million. The company is increasing its 2013 capital expenditures for 2013 from $400 million to $850 million which includes capital related to the recently closed Mississippi Lime gas gathering and processing assets and several other recent acquisitions.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted EBITDA is not a generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) measure and is not intended to be used in lieu of a GAAP presentation of net income/loss. Adjusted EBITDA is presented in this Press Release because SemGroup believes it provides additional information with respect to its performance. Adjusted EBITDA represents earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, adjusted for selected items that SemGroup believes impact the comparability of financial results between reporting periods. Although SemGroup presents selected items that it considers in evaluating its performance, you should also be aware that the items presented do not represent all items that affect comparability between the periods presented. Variations in SemGroup's operating results are also caused by changes in volumes, prices, exchange rates, mechanical interruptions and numerous other factors. These types of variances are not separately identified in this Press Release. Because all companies do not use identical calculations, SemGroup's presentation of Adjusted EBITDA may be different from similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing its utility. Reconciliations of net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA for the periods presented are included in the tables at the end of this Press Release.
Non-GAPP Financial Data Reconciliations are available on SemGroup's website .
