EnLink Midstream Reports Second Quarter 2018 Results and Increases 2018 Guidance
 
DALLAS, July 31, 2018  — The EnLink Midstream companies (EnLink), EnLink Midstream Partners, LP (NYSE: ENLK) (the Partnership or ENLK) and EnLink Midstream, LLC (NYSE: ENLC) (the General Partner or ENLC), reported financial results for the second quarter of 2018 and increased certain full-year 2018 guidance measures.
 
Highlights
 
·                   ENLK reported net income attributable to ENLK after non-controlling interest of approximately $99 million for the second quarter of 2018, compared to approximately $30 million for the second quarter of 2017, representing approximately 230 percent growth.
 
·                   ENLK achieved approximately $257 million of adjusted EBITDA net to ENLK for the second quarter of 2018, compared to approximately $210 million for the second quarter of 2017, representing approximately 23 percent growth. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure and is explained in greater detail under “Non-GAAP Financial Information.”
 
·                   ENLC reported net income attributable to ENLC after non-controlling interest of approximately $28 million for the second quarter of 2018, compared to approximately $6 million for the second quarter of 2017, representing approximately 367 percent growth.
 
·                   ENLC achieved approximately $58 million of cash available for distribution for the second quarter of 2018, compared to approximately $53 million for the second quarter of 2017, representing approximately 10 percent growth. Cash available for distribution is a non-GAAP measure and is explained in greater detail under “Non-GAAP Financial Information.”
 
·                   EnLink’s strong financial and operational results for the first half of 2018 were primarily driven by continued growth across EnLink’s Central Oklahoma footprint. Average gas gathering and transportation volumes in Oklahoma increased by approximately 18 percent from the first quarter of 2018 and 61 percent from the second quarter of 2017. Average processing volumes increased approximately 12 percent from the first quarter of 2018 and 64 percent from the second quarter of 2017.

·                   ENLK raised its full-year 2018 net income and adjusted EBITDA guidance. The increased net income guidance range for 2018 is $329 million to $369 million, representing an approximate 22 percent increase to the previous guidance midpoint.  The increased adjusted EBITDA guidance range for 2018 is now $1 billion to $1.05 billion, representing an approximate 4 percent increase to the previous guidance midpoint. ENLK continues to expect 2019 adjusted EBITDA growth between 5 percent to 10 percent above the increased 2018 midpoint.
 
·                   ENLK raised its full-year 2018 distributable cash flow guidance range to $680 million to $710 million, representing an approximate 6 percent increase to the previous guidance midpoint. Distributable cash flow is a non-GAAP measure and is explained in greater detail under “Non-GAAP Financial Information.”
 
·                   ENLK raised its full-year 2018 growth capital expenditures, to a midpoint of $720 million, which is up from the previous midpoint of approximately $650 million. The expected increase in growth capital expenditures is largely related to the construction of crude oil gathering systems in the Permian Basin and Central Oklahoma and the acceleration of well connections across Central Oklahoma.
 
·                   In July 2018, affiliates of Global Infrastructure Partners (GIP), a leading global independent infrastructure fund manager, completed the previously announced acquisition of all of Devon’s equity interests in EnLink for total cash consideration of $3.125 billion.
 
“EnLink has performed tremendously well during the first half of 2018, with our results being driven by strong execution and continued focus on our seven growth strategies.” said Michael J. Garberding, EnLink President and Chief Executive Officer. “We are pleased to be in the position to increase guidance, and attribute our solid performance to being in the right places with the right partners. We continue to strengthen our balance sheet and remain committed to running our business with investment-grade-style credit metrics. We recently announced the addition of a new strategic partner, Global Infrastructure Partners, and are excited to team with GIP to further enhance our go-forward plans and build on our strength and momentum.”
 
EnLink Midstream Partners, LP:  Second Quarter 2018 Financial Results
 
·                   The Partnership reported net income attributable to ENLK of $98.9 million for the second quarter of 2018, compared to net income of $29.6 million for the second quarter of 2017.
 
·                   The Partnership achieved $257.2 million of adjusted EBITDA net to ENLK for the second quarter of 2018, compared to $209.7 million for the second quarter of 2017.
 
·                   The Partnership reported net cash provided by operating activities of $238 million for the second quarter of 2018, compared to $158 million for the second quarter of 2017.
 
·                   Distributable cash flow attributable to ENLK’s common units was $178.8 million for the second quarter of 2018, compared to $154.3 million for the second quarter of 2017.
 
·                   ENLK raised its full-year 2018 guidance, with net income expected in the range of $329 million to $369 million and adjusted EBITDA expected in the range of $1 billion to $1.05 billion. Accordingly, ENLK updated its 2019 adjusted EBITDA expectations of five percent to 10 percent growth over the increased
 
2 

 
2018 guidance midpoint. ENLK raised its 2018 distributable cash flow guidance range to $680 million to $710 million. The change in distributable cash flow guidance range represents an approximate 6 percent increase from the prior midpoint to the new midpoint.
 
·                   ENLK’s distribution coverage was 1.17x for the second quarter of 2018, compared to 1.02x for the second quarter of 2017.  ENLK’s new distribution coverage range for 2018 is 1.10x to 1.15x for 2018, which is up from the 1.00x to 1.10x previously disclosed guidance range.
 
·                   Debt to adjusted EBITDA as of June 30, 2018, was 3.82x, compared to 3.99x as of June 30, 2017, as calculated by ENLK’s credit facility. Debt to adjusted EBITDA for 2018 is expected to be in the range of 3.85x to 4.00x, refined from the previously disclosed guidance range of 3.70x to 4.20x.
 
·                   Growth capital expenditures net to ENLK for the second quarter of 2018 totaled approximately $170 million, which combined with the first quarter of 2018 expenditures of approximately $138 million, results in year-to-date growth capital expenditures of approximately $308 million. EnLink raised its total funded growth capital expenditures to account for increased activity across EnLink’s footprint, including the continued build-out of crude gathering platforms in the Permian Basin and Central Oklahoma. The updated range for ENLK is $685 million to $755 million, up from a previously disclosed range of $580 million to $710 million. The increase in growth capital expenditures is expected to be funded by excess cash flow generated by the business and borrowings on ENLK’s credit facility.
 
·                   As of July 26, 2018, ENLK had 350,346,037 common units outstanding.
 
EnLink Midstream, LLC:  Second Quarter 2018 Financial Results
 
·                   The General Partner reported net income attributable to ENLC of $28 million for the second quarter of 2018, compared to net income of $5.9 million for the second quarter of 2017.
 
·                   ENLC’s cash available for distribution totaled $57.9 million for the second quarter of 2018, compared to $52.6 million for the second quarter of 2017. Cash available for distribution for the second quarter of 2018 included $10.3 million related to ENLC’s approximately 16 percent interest in EnLink Oklahoma Gas Processing LP (together with its subsidiaries, “EOGP”).
 
·                   ENLC increased its full-year 2018 net income guidance, with net income expected in the range of $285 million to $343 million. ENLC reaffirmed its cash available for distribution guidance range of $230 million to $240 million.
 
·                   Growth capital expenditures net to ENLC for the second quarter of 2018 totaled approximately $21 million, which combined with the first quarter of 2018 growth capital expenditures of approximately $12 million, results in a year-to-date total of approximately $33 million. Full-year 2018 growth capital expenditure net to ENLC has changed to a range of $40 million to $70 million, as compared to the previously disclosed range of $50 million to $60 million.
 
·                   ENLC’s distribution coverage was 1.18x for the second quarter of 2018, compared to 1.13x for the second quarter of 2017. ENLC’s distribution coverage for 2018 is expected to remain in-line with the previously disclosed guidance range of 1.16x to 1.22x.
 
·                   As of July 26, 2018, ENLC had 181,132,896 common units outstanding.

Regional Updates:
 
Central Oklahoma:
 
·                   EnLink’s Oklahoma segment reported strong segment profit growth during the second quarter of 2018, with segment profit of $151.7 million, up from $95.4 million reported in the first quarter of 2018 and $68.8 million in the second quarter of 2017. Segment profit for the second quarter of 2018 included $45.5 million related to a one-time revenue amount that was recorded as a result of a contract restructuring. This one-time amount does not impact adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2018.  Omitting this one-time amount from Oklahoma segment profit for the second quarter of 2018 results in an approximate 11 percent increase over Oklahoma segment profit for the first quarter of 2018 and an approximate 54 percent increase from Oklahoma segment profit for the second quarter of 2017. The pace of growth in the Oklahoma segment anchors management’s confidence in the strength of the STACK play and the ability to achieve recently raised 2018 full-year guidance.
 
·                   EnLink’s Oklahoma segment experienced solid volume growth during the second quarter of 2018, including average gas gathering and transportation volume increases of 18 percent and average processing volume increases of 12 percent, in each case, as compared to the first quarter of 2018. Average gas gathering and transportation volumes increased 61 percent and average processing volumes increased approximately 64 percent, in each case, from the second quarter of 2017. Volume growth in Central Oklahoma is expected to remain robust as the diverse group of producer customers on EnLink’s dedicated acreage continues to deliver strong well results and continues the transition to full-field development.
 
·                   Construction of EnLink’s previously announced Thunderbird processing plant is progressing well and remains on track to be operational during the first quarter of 2019. Once operational, Thunderbird will increase EnLink’s gas processing capacity in Central Oklahoma by 200 million cubic feet per day (MMcf/d), bringing total gas processing capacity to over 1.2 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d). EnLink’s ongoing development in the active Central Oklahoma region reinforces its position as one of the largest and most cost-efficient providers of natural gas processing in the STACK.
 
·                   EnLink made significant progress in advancing its crude gathering strategy in Oklahoma during the second quarter of 2018.  The Black Coyote crude gathering system, backed by an acreage dedication from Devon, was placed in service in April 2018.  EnLink expects significant volume growth on the system during the second half of 2018, driven by connections of several upcoming multi-well drilling projects.  In addition, construction continued on the Redbud crude gathering system, underwritten by an acreage dedication from Marathon Oil Corp. The first phase of the Redbud system is expected to be operational during the third quarter of 2018.

Midland Basin:
 
·                   EnLink’s Midland Basin natural gas volume activity experienced solid growth during the second quarter of 2018, with average gathering and transportation volumes up 14 percent, and average volumes for processing activity up 12 percent over the first quarter of 2018. Average gathering and transportation volumes have increased by approximately 27 percent, and average processing volumes are up 22 percent from the second quarter of 2017. This growth trend is expected to continue throughout the remainder of 2018 and into 2019. EnLink’s Midland Basin processing capacity was approximately 65 percent utilized during the second quarter of 2018, and utilization rate in the fourth quarter of 2018 is projected to be approximately 80 percent.
 
·                   EnLink’s crude oil gathering operations in the Midland Basin experienced solid momentum during the quarter, achieving average volumes of approximately 40,000 barrels per day, which represents nearly 40 percent growth as compared to the second quarter of 2017.
 
Delaware Basin:
 
·                   Gas volumes across EnLink’s Delaware Basin Joint Venture (JV) experienced solid growth during the second quarter of 2018, with average gathering and transportation volumes up approximately 33 percent, and average processing volumes up approximately 37 percent, as compared to the first quarter of 2018.  Average gathering and transportation volumes have increased by approximately 118 percent, and average processing volumes have increased by approximately 132 percent, as compared to the second quarter of 2017. Rig activity remains strong on the JV’s footprint, and volume growth momentum is expected to continue throughout the second half of 2018 and into 2019.
 
·                   The JV previously announced the construction of Lobo III, a new 200 MMcf/d expansion of gas processing capacity at the existing Lobo complex. Construction of Lobo III is progressing, and the first 100 MMcf/d expansion is expected to be operational during the fourth quarter of 2018. The second 100 MMcf/d expansion is expected to be operational during the first quarter of 2019.
 
·                   EnLink also previously announced the construction of a new crude oil gathering system, Avenger.  Avenger is expected to significantly expand EnLink’s service offerings in the Delaware Basin and is backed by a 10-year contract with Devon.  EnLink expects to invest approximately $35 million to $40 million of growth capital expenditures during 2018, with initial volumes already flowing. Avenger is expected to be placed into full-service during the first quarter of 2019 and is expected to generate a project-based return of five to six times.
 
Louisiana:
 
·                   EnLink’s natural gas liquids (NGL) network continues to benefit from growth in liquids output from EnLink’s Chisholm processing complex in the STACK. NGLs produced from EnLink’s Chisholm complex are preferentially shipped to EnLink’s Gulf Coast operations for further transportation, fractionation, and downstream value creation. Sequential average NGL volumes on EnLink’s system increased slightly during the second quarter of 2018, continuing the momentum from a strong first quarter of 2018. For the remainder of 2018, average NGL volumes fractionated by EnLink are expected to remain at levels similar to those experienced in the second quarter of 2018. Segment profit contribution from EnLink’s NGL operations for the second quarter of 2018 declined 23 percent as compared to the first quarter of 2018, in-line with expectations of normal seasonal patterns associated with this area of the business.
 
5 

 
·                   EnLink continued to experience strong volumes on its Louisiana gas system during the second quarter of 2018, driven by strong industrial and LNG demand across its Gulf Coast network. Average gathering and transportation throughput on EnLink’s Louisiana gas system exceeded 2 Bcf/d for the second quarter of 2018, reflecting an 8 percent increase as compared to the second quarter of 2017. Volumes are expected to remain at the high-end of initial expectations for the second half of 2018.
 
North Texas
 
EnLink’s operations in the Barnett Shale performed well during the second quarter of 2018, with processing volumes remaining sequentially flat and gathering and transportation volumes declining slightly by approximately 1 percent. Segment profit contribution was up approximately 4 percent during the second quarter of 2018, as compared to the first quarter of 2018. Producer customers on EnLink’s footprint are reinvigorating their operational and drilling plans in the Barnett Shale, which is translating into improved volume stability on EnLink’s footprint.

Non-GAAP Financial Information & Other Definitions
 
This press release contains non-generally accepted accounting principles financial measures that we refer to as adjusted EBITDA, distributable cash flow available to common unitholders (“distributable cash flow”), and the General Partner’s cash available for distribution. We define adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) plus interest expense, provision (benefit) for income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense, impairments, unit-based compensation, (gain) loss on non-cash derivatives, (gain) loss on disposition of assets, (gain) loss on extinguishment of debt, successful acquisition transaction costs (if any), accretion expense associated with asset retirement obligations, non-cash rent and distributions from unconsolidated affiliate investments less payments under onerous performance obligations, non-controlling interest, (income) loss from unconsolidated affiliate investments and non-cash revenue from contract restructuring. We define distributable cash flow as adjusted EBITDA (defined above), net to the Partnership, less interest expense (excluding amortization of the EnLink Oklahoma T.O. acquisition installment payable discount), litigation settlement adjustment, adjustments for the redeemable non-controlling interest, interest rate swaps, current income taxes and other non-distributable cash flows, accrued cash distributions on Series B Preferred Units
 
6 

 
and Series C Preferred Units paid or expected to be paid, and maintenance capital expenditures, excluding maintenance capital expenditures that were contributed by other entities and relate to the non-controlling interest share of our consolidated entities. The General Partner’s cash available for distribution is defined as net income (loss) of the General Partner less the net income (loss) attributable to the Partnership, which is consolidated into the General Partner’s net income (loss), plus the General Partner’s (i) share of distributions from the Partnership, (ii) share of EnLink Oklahoma T.O.’s non-cash expenses, (iii) deferred income tax expense (benefit), (iv) corporate goodwill impairment, if any, and (v) successful acquisition transaction costs, if any, less the General Partner’s interest in maintenance capital expenditures of EnLink Oklahoma T.O., and less third-party non-controlling interest share of the Partnership’s net income (loss) from consolidated affiliates.
 
The Partnership’s distribution coverage is calculated by dividing distributable cash flow by distributions declared to the General Partner and the common unitholders. The General Partner’s distribution coverage is calculated by dividing cash available for distribution by distributions declared by the General Partner.
 
Growth capital expenditures generally include capital expenditures made for acquisitions or capital improvements that we expect will increase our asset base, operating income or operating capacity over the long-term.  Maintenance capital expenditures generally include capital expenditures made to replace partially or fully depreciated assets in order to maintain the existing operating capacity of the assets and to extend their useful lives.
 
The Partnership and General Partner believe these measures are useful to investors because they may provide users of this financial information with meaningful comparisons between current results and previously-reported results and a meaningful measure of each of the Partnership’s and the General Partner’s cash flow after it has satisfied the capital and related requirements of its operations.  In addition, adjusted EBITDA achievement is a primary metric used in the Partnership’s credit facility and short-term incentive program for compensating its employees.
 
Segment profit (loss) is defined as operating income (loss) plus general and administrative expenses, depreciation and amortization, (gain) loss on disposition of assets, impairments and (gain) loss on litigation settlement. Segment profit (loss) includes non-cash compensation expenses reflected in operating expenses. See “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data — Note 15 — Segment Information” in ENLK’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, and, when available, “Item 1. Financial Statements — Note 11—Segment Information” in ENLK’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended June 30, 2018, for further information about segment profit (loss).
 
Adjusted EBITDA, distributable cash flow, and cash available for distribution, as defined above, are not measures of financial performance or liquidity under GAAP. They should not be considered in isolation or as an indicator of the Partnership’s and the General Partner’s performance. Furthermore, they should not be seen as a substitute for metrics prepared in accordance with GAAP. Reconciliations of these measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measures are included in the following tables.  See ENLK’s and ENLC’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission for more information.

(1)         The revised forward-looking net income guidance for the year ended December 31, 2018 includes the actual results for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and the projected results for the second half of the year ended December 31, 2018. The forward-looking net income guidance from July 1, 2018 through December 31, 2018 excludes the potential impact of gains or losses on derivative activity, gains or losses on disposition of assets, impairment expense, gains or losses as a result of legal settlements, gains or losses on extinguishment of debt, and the financial effects of future acquisitions. The exclusion of these items is due to the uncertainty regarding the occurrence, timing and/or amount of these events.
 
EnLink does not provide a reconciliation of forward-looking Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities to Adjusted EBITDA because the companies are unable to predict with reasonable certainty changes in working capital, which may impact cash provided or used during the year.  Working capital includes accounts receivable, accounts payable and other current assets and liabilities. These items are uncertain and depend on various factors outside the companies’ control.
 
(2)         Net income includes estimated net income attributable to ENLK’s non-controlling interest in (i) ENLC’s 16% share of net income from EOGP, (ii) NGP’s 49.9% share of net income from the Delaware Basin JV and (iii) Marathon Petroleum Company’s 50% share of net income from the Ascension JV.
 
(3)         Non-controlling interest share of adjusted EBITDA includes estimates for (i) ENLC’s 16% share of adjusted EBITDA from EOGP, (ii) NGP’s 49.9% share of adjusted EBITDA from the Delaware Basin JV, (iii) Marathon’s 50% share of adjusted EBITDA from the Ascension JV and (iv) other minor non-controlling interests.
 
(4)         Amortization of the EOGP installment payable discount is considered non-cash interest under our credit facility since the payment under the payable is consideration for the acquisition of the EOGP assets.
