- Reported net income attributable to HEP of $45.7 million or $0.43 per unit
- Announced quarterly distribution of $0.6725 per unit
- Reported EBITDA of $87.8 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $86.9 million
Holly Energy Partners, L.P. (“HEP” or the “Partnership”) (NYSE:HEP) today reported financial results for the fourth quarter of 2019. Net income attributable to HEP for the fourth quarter was $45.7 million ($0.43 per basic and diluted limited partner unit) compared to $47.5 million ($0.45 per basic and diluted limited partner unit) for the fourth quarter of 2018.
Distributable cash flow was $64.5 million for the quarter, an increase of $0.3 million, or 0.5%, compared to the fourth quarter of 2018. HEP declared a quarterly cash distribution of $0.6725 on January 23, 2020.
The decrease in net income attributable to HEP was mainly due to lower volumes on product pipelines servicing HollyFrontier Corporation's ("HFC" or "HollyFrontier") Navajo refinery, lower recognition of deferred revenues and lower equity in earnings of Osage Pipe Line Company, LLC partially offset by higher volumes on our crude pipeline systems in Wyoming and Utah.
Commenting on our 2019 fourth quarter results, Michael Jennings, Chief Executive Officer, stated, “HEP delivered solid fourth quarter results despite heavy maintenance across HFC’s refining system. HEP’s business model continues to provide stable cash flows supported by long term contracts with minimum volume commitments.
“Looking forward, we are making progress on our Cushing Connect project and expect completion on schedule. HEP expects to hold quarterly cash distribution constant at $0.6725, while maintaining a coverage of 1.0x for the full year 2020.”
Fourth Quarter 2019 Revenue Highlights
Revenues for the quarter were $131.6 million, a decrease of $1.2 million compared to the fourth quarter of 2018. The decrease was mainly attributable to lower volumes on product pipelines servicing HFC's Navajo refinery and lower recognition of deferred revenues partially offset by higher volumes on our crude pipeline systems in Wyoming and Utah. Compared to the fourth quarter of 2018, our overall pipeline volumes decreased for the quarter by 7%.
- Revenues from our refined product pipelines were $30.8 million, a decrease of $8.8 million, on shipments averaging 175.7 thousand barrels per day ("mbpd") compared to 209.1 mbpd for the fourth quarter of 2018. The revenue decrease was mainly due to lower volumes on pipelines servicing HollyFrontier's Navajo refinery, which had lower throughputs during the quarter, and lower recognition of deferred revenue on our contract with Delek US Holdings, Inc. Revenue also decreased due to a reclassification of certain pipeline income from revenue to interest income under sales-type lease accounting.
- Revenues from our intermediate pipelines were $7.5 million, an increase of $0.3 million, on shipments averaging 136.4 mbpd compared to 151.0 mbpd for the fourth quarter of 2018. The volume decrease was mainly attributable to lower throughput at HFC's Navajo refinery. Revenue remained relatively constant due to contractual minimum revenue commitments and tariff escalators.
- Revenues from our crude pipelines were $33.8 million, an increase of $4.4 million, on shipments averaging 479.2 mbpd compared to 495.4 mbpd for the fourth quarter of 2018. Revenue increased mainly due to higher volumes on our crude pipeline systems in Wyoming and Utah. Overall volumes decreased due to lower volumes on our crude pipeline systems in New Mexico.
- Revenues from terminal, tankage and loading rack fees were $41.3 million, an increase of $2.9 million compared to the fourth quarter of 2018. Refined products and crude oil terminalled in the facilities averaged 456.7 mbpd compared to 451.9 mbpd for the fourth quarter of 2018. The revenue increase was mainly due to our new Orla diesel rack, higher butane blending margins at our Las Vegas terminal and higher reimbursable project revenues.
- Revenues from refinery processing units were $18.2 million for both of the fourth quarters of 2019 and 2018, on throughputs averaging 55.7 mbpd compared to 47.7 mbpd for the fourth quarter of 2018. The volume increase was primarily due to higher volumes on our naphtha fractionation unit in El Dorado. Revenue remained relatively consistent due to contractual minimum volume commitments.
Year Ended December 31, 2019 Revenue Highlights
Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2019, were $532.8 million, an increase of $26.6 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2018. The increase was mainly attributable to higher crude oil pipeline volumes around the Permian Basin, Wyoming and Utah, higher revenues on our refinery processing units and contractual tariff escalators.
- Revenues from our refined product pipelines were $132.4 million, a decrease of $5.2 million, on shipments averaging 195.5 mbpd compared to 199.6 mbpd for the year ended December 31, 2018. The revenue decrease was mainly due to a reclassification of certain of our pipeline tariffs from revenue to interest income under sales-type lease accounting principles as well as lower volumes on pipelines servicing HollyFrontier's Navajo refinery. These decreases were partially offset by higher volumes on pipelines servicing HFC's Woods Cross refinery, which had lower throughput in 2018 due to operational issues, and contractual tariff escalators.
- Revenues from our intermediate pipelines were $29.6 million, a decrease of $0.1 million, on shipments averaging 140.6 mbpd compared to 144.5 mbpd for the year ended December 31, 2018. The decrease in revenue was primarily attributable to a decrease in deferred revenue realized.
- Revenues from our crude pipelines were $130.7 million, an increase of $14.4 million, on shipments averaging 501.2 mbpd compared to 465.6 mbpd for the year ended December 31, 2018. The increases were mainly attributable to increased volumes on our crude pipeline systems in the Permian Basin, Wyoming and Utah as well as contractual tariff escalators.
- Revenues from terminal, tankage and loading rack fees were $160.5 million, an increase of $12.9 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2018. Refined products and crude oil terminalled in the facilities averaged 483.2 mbpd compared to 474.9 mbpd for the year ended December 31, 2018. The revenue and volume increases were mainly due to volumes at our new Orla diesel rack, higher volumes at the Spokane and Catoosa terminals and contractual tariff escalators, partially offset by lower volumes at HFC's Tulsa refinery as a result of the planned turnaround in the first quarter and flooding in the second quarter.
- Revenues from refinery processing units were $79.7 million, an increase of $4.5 million on throughputs averaging 68.8 mbpd compared to 62.8 mbpd for the year ended December 31, 2018. The increase in revenue was mainly due to an adjustment in revenue recognition and contractual rate increases.
Operating Costs and Expenses Highlights
Operating costs and expenses were $66.4 million and $269.0 million for the three months and year ended December 31, 2019, respectively, representing a decrease of $0.4 million and an increase of $13.0 million from the three months and year ended December 31, 2018, respectively. The increase for the year ended December 31, 2019 was mainly due to higher maintenance costs and employee compensation expenses.
Interest expense was $19.8 million and $76.8 million for the three months and year ended December 31, 2019, respectively, representing increases of $1.1 million and $4.9 million over the same periods of 2018. These increases were mainly due to higher average balances outstanding under our senior secured revolving credit facility and higher finance lease liabilities outstanding.

Prior to the equity restructuring transaction on October 31, 2017, net income attributable to Holly Energy Partners was allocated between limited partners and the general partner interest in accordance with the provisions of the partnership agreement. HEP net income allocated to the general partner included incentive distributions that were declared subsequent to quarter end. There were no distributions made on the general partner interest after October 31, 2017. No general partner distributions were declared for the three months ended December 31, 2018, and general partner distributions of $36.5 million were declared for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) is calculated as net income attributable to Holly Energy Partners plus (i) interest expense, net of interest income, (ii) state income tax and (iii) depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as EBITDA minus (i) gain on sales-type leases and (ii) pipeline lease payments not included in operating costs and expenses plus (iii) pipeline tariffs not included in revenues due to impacts from lease accounting. Portions of our minimum guaranteed pipeline tariffs for assets subject to sales-type lease accounting are recorded as interest income with the remaining amounts recorded as a reduction in net investment in leases. These pipeline tariffs were previously recorded as revenues prior to the renewal of the throughput agreement, which triggered sales-type lease accounting. Similarly, certain pipeline lease payments were previously recorded as operating costs and expenses, but the underlying lease was reclassified from an operating lease to a financing lease, and these payments are now recoded as interest expense and reductions in the lease liability. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not calculations based upon generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). However, the amounts included in the EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA calculations are derived from amounts included in our consolidated financial statements. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as alternatives to net income attributable to Holly Energy Partners or operating income, as indications of our operating performance or as alternatives to operating cash flow as a measure of liquidity. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are presented here because they are widely used financial indicators used by investors and analysts to measure performance. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are also used by our management for internal analysis and as a basis for compliance with financial covenants.

Distributable cash flow is not a calculation based upon GAAP. However, the amounts included in the calculation are derived from amounts presented in our consolidated financial statements, with the general exception of maintenance capital expenditures. Distributable cash flow should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net income attributable to Holly Energy Partners or operating income, as an indication of our operating performance, or as an alternative to operating cash flow as a measure of liquidity. Distributable cash flow is not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Distributable cash flow is presented here because it is a widely accepted financial indicator used by investors to compare partnership performance. It is also used by management for internal analysis and our performance units. We believe that this measure provides investors an enhanced perspective of the operating performance of our assets and the cash our business is generating.

As a master limited partnership, we distribute our available cash, which historically has exceeded our net income attributable to Holly Energy Partners because depreciation and amortization expense represents a non-cash charge against income. The result is a decline in partners’ equity since our regular quarterly distributions have exceeded our quarterly net income attributable to Holly Energy Partners. Additionally, if the assets contributed and acquired from HollyFrontier while we were a consolidated variable interest entity of HollyFrontier had been acquired from third parties, our acquisition cost in excess of HollyFrontier’s basis in the transferred assets would have been recorded in our financial statements as increases to our properties and equipment and intangible assets at the time of acquisition instead of decreases to partners’ equity.
