PHILADELPHIA, May 5, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Atlas Pipeline Partners, L.P. (NYSE: APL) ("APL", "Atlas Pipeline", or the "Partnership") today reported adjusted earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization ("Adjusted EBITDA"), of $90.8 million for the first quarter of 2014.  Processed natural gas volumes averaged 1,367 million cubic feet per day ("MMCFD"), a 32.3% increase over the first quarter of 2013.  Distributable Cash Flow was $60.8 million for the first quarter of 2014, or $0.75 per average common limited partner unit, compared to $43.5 million for the prior year's first quarter.  The Partnership recognized net income of $7.0 million for the first quarter of 2014, compared to a net loss of $27.5 million for the prior year's first quarter. 

Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow are non-GAAP financial measures, which are reconciled to their most directly comparable GAAP measures in the tables included at the end of this news release.  The Partnership believes these measures provide a more accurate comparison of the operating results for the periods presented.

On April 22, 2014, the Partnership declared a cash distribution for the first quarter of 2014 of $0.62 per common limited partner unit to holders of record on May 8, 2014, which will be paid on May 15, 2014.  This distribution represents Distributable Cash Flow coverage per limited partner unit of 1.09x for the first quarter of 2014.

On May 5, 2014, the Partnership entered into a definitive agreement to sell its subsidiaries holding a 20% interest in West Texas LPG Pipeline Limited Partnership ("WTXLPG") to a subsidiary of Martin Midstream Partners (NASADQ: MMLP) for $135 million, excluding any working capital adjustments.  WTXLPG is a common carrier y-grade natural gas liquids pipeline operated by a subsidiary of the Chevron Corporation (NYSE: CVX) which the Partnership purchased in May 2011 for $85 million.  The transaction is expected to close in the second quarter of 2014, subject to customary closing conditions.  The proceeds from this transaction are expected to be used to pay down Partnership debt.

"The Partnership has continued to move forward with stronger results versus last quarter, and meaningfully better results versus a year ago.  With less impact from the winter weather and continued strong activity from our customers, we were pleased to build coverage on the distribution this quarter and expect to continue to build coverage throughout the rest of the year while also increasing our distribution.  As we've headed into spring, we've already had activity pick up from our producers and as I speak today, volumes are higher than our stated quarterly results.  Our recent West Texas LPG Pipeline sale announcement, successful preferred offering, and positive Permian and Woodford announcements have shown the investment community we are keeping focused at the task at hand and will continue to do so.  We are on track for a higher distribution this year and want to thank all of our supporters who understand the value that we are creating," remarked Eugene Dubay, Chief Executive Officer of the Partnership.

Capitalization and Liquidity

The Partnership had total liquidity (cash plus available capacity on its revolving credit facility) of $459.7 million as of March 31, 2014.  Total debt outstanding was $1,704.9 million at March 31, 2014, compared to $1,707.3 million at December 31, 2013, a decrease of $2.4 million.  Based upon total debt outstanding at March 31, 2014, total leverage was approximately 4.9x for purposes of calculations under our revolving credit facility, and debt to total capital was 42%.

During the first quarter of 2014, the Partnership issued 5,060,000 of Class E Preferred Units at an offering price of $25.00 per Class E Preferred Unit.  The Partnership received $122.4 million in net proceeds, which were used to pay down the revolving credit facility and to fund capital expenditures.  The initial distribution on the Class E Preferred Units will be payable on July 15, 2014 to holders of record as of July 1, 2014, in an amount equal to $0.67604 per unit, or approximately $3.4 million.  Thereafter, the Partnership will pay cumulative distributions in cash on the Class E Preferred Units on a quarterly basis at a rate of $0.515625 per unit, or 8.25% per year.  The cumulative dividends through March 31, 2014 are included as a reduction to Distributable Cash Flow for the current quarter.

Risk Management

The Partnership has added further protection to its risk management portfolio for production in 2014 through 2017.  As of May 2, 2014, the Partnership had natural gas, natural gas liquids and condensate protection in place for 2014, 2015 and 2016 for approximately 71%, 49%, and 11%, respectively, of associated margin value (exclusive of ethane).  Counterparties to the Partnership's risk management activities consist of investment grade commercial banks that are lenders under the Partnership's credit facility, or affiliates of those banks.  A table summarizing the Partnership's risk management portfolio as of May 2, 2014 is included in this release.

Operating Results

Gathered volumes for the three months ended March 31, 2014 were approximately 1.5 BCFD and processed volumes were approximately 1.4 BCFD, an increase of over 23% and 32%, respectively, compared to the Partnership's first quarter 2013 reported results.  Growth capital spending, including contributions to joint ventures, was $124.9 million during the first quarter of 2014, as organic expansion projects continue across all gathering and processing systems, including the processing plant expansions in SouthOK (120 MMCFD Stonewall Plant), SouthTX (200 MMCFD Silver Oak II Plant), and WestTX (200 MMCFD Edward Plant).

Gross margin from operations was $131.0 million for the first quarter 2014, compared to $91.1 million for the prior year period, a result of increasing producer activity in APL's areas of operations and the acquisition of the SouthTX assets in May 2013.  Gross margin, a non-GAAP financial measure, includes natural gas and liquids sales, and transportation, processing and other fees, less purchased product costs and non-cash gains (or losses) included in these items.  The higher gross margin for the quarter was primarily due to the increased volumes and expansions that have been completed on the WestOK and WestTX systems, as well as the recently acquired SouthTX system.  The gross margin for the quarter does not include approximately $9.8 million of realized derivative settlement losses, which are excluded in the calculation of gross margin, compared to $1.6 million realized derivative settlement gains excluded from gross margin in the first quarter of 2013.  

WestTX System

The WestTX system's average natural gas processed volume was 390.0 MMCFD for the first quarter of 2014, compared to 280.8 MMCFD for the first quarter of 2013.  Increased processed volumes are primarily due to continued significant drilling activity in the Permian Basin.  The completion of the Driver plant in April 2013 increased processing capacity on the WestTX system to 455 MMCFD, supporting the increased gathering volumes.  Average NGL production was 50,263 barrels per day ("BPD") for the first quarter of 2014, a 51.2% increase over the first quarter of 2013.  This system continues to operate in ethane rejection due to the value of ethane compared to the value residue natural gas.  

APL has recently executed a contract extension with the most active producer in the Permian Basin, Pioneer Natural Resources, Inc. (NYSE: PXD; "Pioneer"), its largest customer and its partner on the WestTX system. The contract extension, which now expires in 2032, is under similar contract terms as the previous contract and includes further areas of mutual interest, including all or portions of nine counties in the Permian Basin, as Pioneer and APL move together to further develop an increasing footprint in one of the most lucrative oil and natural gas plays in the United States. The Partnership expects processed volumes on this system to continue to increase through 2014 and beyond as Pioneer and other producers continue to pursue their drilling plans over the coming years in the Permian Basin.  The previously announced 200 MMCFD Edward plant is expected to be complete in late 2014.  In addition, the Managing Board of Atlas Pipeline has approved the construction of a new, incremental 200 MMCFD cryogenic processing plant to be located in the northern part of the Permian, and expects the plant to be in service in the second half of 2015.  These two plants will serve the increasing activity in the Permian Basin and will be fully integrated with APL's WestTX gathering and processing system, increasing the processing capacity in the Permian Basin to 855 MMCFD.  Construction costs for the plant are expected to be $100-120 million net to the Partnership.  The majority of the capital will be invested in 2015.

WestOK System

The WestOK system had average natural gas processed volume of 510.2 MMCFD for the first quarter of 2014, a 19.9% increase from the first quarter of 2013.  Average NGL production was 23,010 BPD for the first quarter of 2014, a 41.6% increase from the first quarter of 2013, due to the continued increased production on the gathering system.  Activity continues to be strong by APL's producer customers, with Atlas Pipeline connecting over a well per day in the Mississippi Lime over the past quarter.  Many of Atlas Pipeline's large customers are refocusing their drilling efforts on infill drilling in proven areas, where the Partnership already has pipeline infrastructure, which is reducing our capital costs in this operating area.  Due to the ethane pricing environment, only approximately 25% of the currently available ethane is being produced on the WestOK system.

SouthOK System

The SouthOK system's average natural gas processed volume was 372.7 MMCFD for the first quarter 2014, a 14.1% increase from first quarter 2013.  Average NGL production was 28,270 BPD for the first quarter 2014, a decrease of approximately 18.2% compared to the first quarter 2013, due to portions of the system processing in ethane rejection during first quarter 2014 and in ethane recovery during first quarter 2013.  

The Stonewall plant, a new cryogenic processing facility, was brought into start-up operations in late April and is now fully operational.  This plant was constructed under the Centrahoma joint venture, which is a joint venture with MarkWest Energy Partners (NYSE: MWE) in which APL owns 60%.  The Partnership is expecting to accelerate the timeframe of the planned 80 MMCFD expansion at this plant, due to the increased activity in Southern Oklahoma, including production from the Woodford Shale, SCOOP, Arkoma and Ardmore Basins.  This expansion will allow the facility to operate at its name-plate 200 MMCFD capacity and bring total processing capacity on the SouthOK system to 580 MMCFD.  Additionally, construction is continuing on the project to connect the Velma and Arkoma portions of the SouthOK system, which is expected be complete in September of 2014. 

SouthTX System

The SouthTX system recognized revenues on average natural gas processed volumes of 115.7 MMCFD and produced 11,870 BPD of NGLs during the first quarter of 2014.  The Partnership received an economic contribution during the quarter on approximately 140 MMCFD due to minimum volume commitments not being filled as well as a customer sharing agreement with TexStar Midstream Service L.P. ("TexStar"), its joint-venture partner in the Eagle Ford.  APL receives a share of the economic interest from certain volumes processed by TexStar.  These volumes were previously processed by Atlas Pipeline prior to the start-up of TexStar's processing facility in late 2013.  

APL continues to make commercial progress in the SouthTX area and the Partnership recently connected newly acquired gas from a prominent operator in the Eagle Ford.  Incremental volumes should materialize during the month of May from this connection and another significant connection is expected later this month.  The producers delivering to these connections are two of the largest producers in the play.  The Partnership should be near full utilization of the initial Silver Oak processing facility, economically and potentially operationally, in early June.  The new, 200 MMCFD processing facility, Silver Oak II, is expected to be online in mid-June 2014.

Corporate and Other

General and administrative costs, excluding non-cash compensation, for the first quarter of 2014 totaled $11.5 million, compared to $9.4 million in the same period in 2013.  This increase was driven primarily by an increase in personnel as a result of the acquisition of the SouthTX system in May 2013. 

Net of deferred financing costs, interest expense was $21.8 million for the first quarter of 2014, as compared to $17.1 million in the first quarter of 2013.  This increase was due to financing the Partnership's acquisitions and capital expenditure program since March 31, 2013, including the $400.0 million issuance of 4.750% senior unsecured notes due 2021 in May 2013.

(1)  EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow are non-GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) financial measures under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Management of the Partnership believes EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow provide additional information for evaluating the Partnership's ability to make distributions to its common unit holders and the general partner, among other things.  These measures are widely-used by commercial banks, investment bankers, rating agencies and investors in evaluating performance relative to peers and pre-set performance standards.  Adjusted EBITDA is also similar to the Consolidated EBITDA calculation utilized for the Partnership's financial covenants under its credit facility, with the exception that Adjusted EBITDA includes some non-cash items specifically excluded under the credit facility. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow are not measures of financial performance under GAAP and, accordingly, should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income, operating income, or cash flows from operating activities in accordance with GAAP.

(2)  Represents Anadarko Petroleum Corporation's ("Anadarko" – NYSE: APC) non-controlling interest in the operating results of Atlas Pipeline Mid-Continent WestOk, LLC ("WestOK") and Atlas Pipeline Mid-Continent WestTex, LLC ("WestTX"); and MarkWest's non-controlling interest in Centrahoma.
