PR Newswire

HOUSTON, April 30, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Boardwalk Pipeline Partners, LP, (NYSE:BWP) announced today that it has declared a quarterly cash distribution per common unit of $0.10 ($0.40 annualized) payable on May 17, 2018, to unitholders of record as of May 10, 2018.

The Partnership also announced its results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2018, which included the following items:

  • Operating revenues of $335.4 million, a 9% decrease from $367.0 million in the comparable 2017 period. Excluding items offset in fuel and transportation expense, operating revenues were $331.0 million, a 5% decrease from $347.8 million in the comparable 2017 period;
  • Net income of $97.2 million, a 19% decrease from $119.3 million in the comparable 2017 period;
  • Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) of $224.4 million, a 9% decrease from $246.2 million in the comparable 2017 period; and
  • Distributable cash flow of $159.9 million, a 9% decrease from $176.1 million in the comparable 2017 period.

Effective January 1, 2018, the Partnership implemented the new revenue recognition standard, which did not have a material impact on operating revenues. Compared with the first quarter of 2017, the Partnership's first quarter of 2018 results were unfavorably impacted primarily by contract restructuring and market conditions related to the Partnership's storage and PAL services.

Capital Program

Growth capital expenditures were $86.7 million and maintenance capital expenditures were $24.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures - EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow

The Partnership uses non-GAAP measures to evaluate its business and performance, including EBITDA and distributable cash flow. EBITDA is used as a supplemental financial measure by management and by external users of the Partnership's financial statements, such as investors, commercial banks, research analysts and rating agencies, to assess the Partnership's operating and financial performance, ability to generate cash and return on invested capital as compared to those of other companies in the midstream portion of the natural gas and natural gas liquids industry. Distributable cash flow is used as a supplemental financial measure by management and by external users of the Partnership's financial statements as an approximation of net operating revenues generated by the Partnership, that when realized in cash, will be available to be distributed to its unitholders and general partner.

EBITDA and distributable cash flow should not be considered alternatives to net income, operating income, cash flow from operating activities or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). EBITDA and distributable cash flow are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures of another company.

Tax Notification

This release is intended to be a qualified notice under Treasury Regulation Section 1.1446-4(b). Brokers and nominees should treat 100% of Boardwalk's distributions to foreign investors as being attributable to income that is effectively connected with a United States trade or business. Accordingly, Boardwalk's distributions to foreign investors are subject to federal income tax withholding at the highest applicable tax rate.
