HOUSTON, TEXAS--(Marketwired - Nov. 1, 2016) - Columbia Pipeline Partners LP (NYSE:CPPL) ("CPPL" or the "Partnership") today reported financial and operating results for the third quarter 2016.
CPPL reported net income attributable to limited partners of $2.9 million, or $0.05 per common unit compared with net income attributable to limited partners of $22.0 million, or $0.22 per common unit in the prior-year period. CPPL reported net cash flows from operating activities of $82.3 million compared with $114.0 million in the prior-year period. Additionally, CPPL reported net cash flows used for investing activities and net cash flows from (used for) financing activities of $473.0 million and $344.1 million, respectively, compared to $41.7 million and $(151.5) million, respectively, in the prior-year period. CPPL reported Adjusted EBITDA attributable to the Partnership (a non-GAAP measure) of $28.0 million for the third quarter compared with $27.5 million in the prior-year period. CPPL generated Distributable Cash Flow (a non-GAAP measure) of $19.8 million for the third quarter compared with $20.8 million in the prior-year period and declared a distribution of $0.1975 per unit on November 1, 2016. Please see the definitions of such non-GAAP measures in the "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" section of this press release and a reconciliation to their most comparable measure calculated in accordance with GAAP on Schedule 1 of the financial tables below.
As previously announced, on March 17, 2016, Columbia Pipeline Group, Inc. ("CPG"), formerly the ultimate parent of CPPL's general partner, entered into an agreement and plan of merger to be acquired by a subsidiary of TransCanada Corporation (NYSE:TRP) ("TransCanada"). Effective July 1, 2016, CPG became an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of TransCanada. With the completion of the transaction, TransCanada now owns the general partner of the Partnership, all of the Partnership's incentive distribution rights and all of the Partnership's subordinated units, which represent a 46.5% limited partnership interest in the Partnership.
Presentation of Financial Statements
CPPL's consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CPPL and its consolidated subsidiary, CPG OpCo LP ("Columbia OpCo"). CPPL holds a 15.7% limited partner interest and a non-economic general partner interest in Columbia OpCo. CPPL controls Columbia OpCo through the ownership of its general partner and, accordingly, CPPL consolidates Columbia OpCo in its consolidated financial statements. Columbia Energy Group (a wholly owned subsidiary of CPG), CPPL's sponsor, owns the remaining 84.3% limited partner interest in Columbia OpCo, which is reflected as a non-controlling interest in CPPL's financial statements.
Three Months Ended September 30, 2016 Operating Results
A comparison of operating results for the three months ended September 30, 2016 to the three months ended September 30, 2015 is summarized below.
Operating revenues increased by $6.5 million. The increase was primarily due to higher demand margin revenue from growth projects placed into service, increased mineral rights royalty revenue and higher shorter term transportation services. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in trackers, which are offset in expense.
Operating expenses increased by $134.7 million. The increase was primarily due to increased costs related to the July 1, 2016 merger into the TransCanada group of companies, decreased gains on the conveyances of mineral interests, higher impairment charges, increased depreciation and amortization, higher employee and administrative expenses, and increased outside service costs. These changes were partially offset by a decrease in trackers, which are offset in revenue.
Equity earnings increased by $0.7 million, primarily due to earnings generated by Millennium Pipeline Company, L.L.C.
Other income (deductions) for the three months ended September 30, 2016 increased income by $5.6 million compared with an increase in income of $1.8 million in the same period in 2015. The variance was primarily due to an increase in Allowance for Funds Used During Construction ("AFUDC"), partially offset by higher interest expense related to increased short-term borrowings.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2016 Operating Results
A comparison of operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 to the nine months ended September 30, 2015 is summarized below. Earnings for the periods prior to the date of CPPL's initial public offering are derived from the financial statements and accounting records of CPPL's predecessor.
Operating revenues increased by $28.4 million. The increase was primarily due to higher demand margin revenue from growth projects placed into service and increased shorter term transportation services. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in trackers, which are offset in expense, and lower mineral rights royalty revenue.
Operating expenses increased by $119.7 million. The increase was primarily due to increased costs related to the July 1, 2016 merger into the TransCanada group of companies, decreased gains on the conveyances of mineral interests, higher depreciation and amortization, increased impairment charges, higher employee and administrative expenses, increased outside service costs and higher property and other taxes. These changes were partially offset by a decrease in trackers, which are offset in revenues, and lower maintenance expenses.
Equity earnings increased by $3.9 million, primarily due to earnings generated by Pennant Midstream, LLC and Millennium Pipeline Company, L.L.C.
Other income (deductions) for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 increased income by $4.9 million compared with a reduction in income of $6.7 million in the same period in 2015. The variance was primarily due to an increase in AFUDC and a decrease in interest expense resulting from the repayment of long-term debt, partially offset by lower interest income and higher interest expense related to increased short-term borrowings.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow
We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income before interest expense, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization, plus distributions of earnings received from equity investees, less equity earnings in unconsolidated affiliates and other, net. In addition, to the extent transactions occur that are considered unusual, infrequent or not representative of underlying trends, we will remove the effect of these items from Adjusted EBITDA. Examples of these transactions include impairments and expenses related to the merger. We define Distributable Cash Flow as Adjusted EBITDA less interest expense, maintenance capital expenditures, gain on sale of assets and distributable cash flow attributable to noncontrolling interest, plus proceeds from sale of assets, interest income, capital (received) costs related to the separation and any other known differences between cash and income.
Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow are non-GAAP supplemental financial measures that management and external users of our financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies, may use to assess the viability of acquisitions and other capital expenditure projects and the returns on investment of various investment opportunities.
Management believes that the presentations of Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow will provide useful information to investors in assessing our financial condition and results of operations. The GAAP measures most directly comparable to Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow are Net Income and Net Cash Flows from Operating Activities. Our non-GAAP financial measures of Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow should not be considered as an alternative to GAAP Net Income or Net Cash Flows from Operating Activities. Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow have important limitations as analytical tools because they exclude some but not all items that affect net income and net cash flows from operating activities. You should not consider Adjusted EBITDA or Distributable Cash Flow in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Because Adjusted EBITDA or Distributable Cash Flow may be defined differently by other companies in our industry, our definitions may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing their utility.
