T.GEI

All financial figures are in Canadian dollars unless otherwise noted

CALGARY, AB, July 31, 2023 /PRNewswire/ - Gibson Energy Inc. announced today its financial and operating results for the three months ended June 30, 2023.

"Exiting the first half of 2023, we are pleased to report strong results from both the Infrastructure and Marketing segments, with Marketing segment profit above previously communicated expectations," said Steve Spaulding, President and Chief Executive Officer. "Beyond our financial results, we are very excited to have announced the expansion of our Infrastructure platform with the acquisition of the South Texas Gateway Terminal which is expected to close in the very near term. In addition, during the quarter, we continued to expand our existing Infrastructure business in Edmonton with the sanctioning of two tanks underpinned by a 15 year contract with Cenovus Energy Inc."

Financial Highlights:

  • Revenue of $2,613 million in the second quarter decreased by $582 million or 18% relative the second quarter of 2022, primarily due to decreased revenues within the Marketing segment driven by lower commodity prices, only partially offset by higher volumes
  • Infrastructure Adjusted EBITDA(1) of $94 million in the second quarter, an $18 million or 16% decrease relative to the second quarter of 2022 due to a $17 million environmental remediation provision taken in the quarter; absent the provision, Infrastructure Adjusted EBITDA was relatively flat
  • Marketing Adjusted EBITDA(1) of $34 million in the second quarter, a $22 million or 177% increase from the second quarter of 2022, primarily due to an improvement in the availability of location, time, and quality-based opportunities for Crude Marketing as well as higher refined product margins
  • Adjusted EBITDA(1) on a consolidated basis of $116 million in the second quarter, a $2 million or 2% increase over the second quarter of 2022, as result of the factors described above, higher general and administrative expenses as well as the impact of removing the unrealized gains and losses on financial instruments
  • Net Income of $52 million in the second quarter, a $16 million or 45% increase over the second quarter of 2022, due to the factors described above and lower depreciation and finance costs partially offset by higher income tax expense in the current periods
  • Distributable Cash Flow(1) of $82 million in the second quarter, a $9 million or 12% increase from the second quarter of 2022, a result of the factors described above
  • Dividend Payout ratio(2) on a trailing twelve-month basis of 55%, below the Company's 70% – 80% target range
  • Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio(2) of 2.5x, below the bottom end of the Company's 3.0x – 3.5x target range

Strategic Developments and Highlights:

  • Announced the acquisition of 100% of the membership interests of South Texas Gateway Terminal LLC for U.S.$1.1 billion, through which Gibson will acquire the South Texas Gateway Terminal ("STGT"), a newly constructed high-quality crude oil export facility in Ingleside, Texas which enhances Gibson's North American terminal footprint by establishing a third liquids hub underpinned by over 95% take-or-pay revenue
  • Sanctioned two 435,000 barrel tanks as well as significant supporting infrastructure at Edmonton with an expected in service date in 2024 which will further increase our high-quality, long-term infrastructure revenues
  • Closed a $403.2 million bought deal offering of subscription receipts; upon closing of the acquisition of STGT, each receipt will be exchanged for one common share of the Company partially funding the purchase price
  • Subsequent to the quarter, closed debt offerings comprised of $900 million of medium term notes and $200 million of hybrid notes issued to partially fund the remainder of the STGT purchase price
  • Repurchased 1 million shares for an aggregate $22 million in the second quarter, and a total of approximately 2 million shares or 1.5% of outstanding shares to date this year; with the acquisition of STGT, the share repurchase program has been suspended for the remainder of 2023 and will be re-assessed as part of the Company's annual budgeting process for 2024
