Enterprise Products Partners L.P. (“Enterprise”) (NYSE: EPD)
today announced its financial results for the three months and
twelve months ended December 31, 2016.
For 2016, Enterprise reported an increase in operating income to
$3.6 billion from $3.5 billion for 2015. Net cash flow provided by
operating activities for 2016 increased to $4.1 billion from $4.0
billion in 2015. Total gross operating margin for 2016 was $5.2
billion compared to $5.3 billion in 2015. Distributable cash flow,
excluding proceeds from asset sales, increased to $4.1 billion in
2016 compared to $4.0 billion in 2015. Enterprise increased
distributions declared with respect to 2016 to $1.61 per unit, a
5.2 percent increase compared to distributions paid with respect to
2015. Distributable cash flow, excluding proceeds from asset sales,
provided 1.2 times coverage of the distributions declared with
respect to 2016. Enterprise retained $709 million of distributable
cash flow in 2016 to reinvest in the growth of the partnership.
Total gross operating margin and distributable cash flow are
non-generally accepted accounting principle (“non-GAAP”) financial
measures that are defined and reconciled later in this press
release.
“Enterprise reported solid results in 2016, despite another
challenging year for the U.S. energy industry,” stated Jim Teague,
chief executive officer of Enterprise’s general partner. “Our
performance for 2016 was highlighted by 11.7 percent volume growth
for our NGL, refined products and petrochemical pipeline and marine
terminal assets to a record 4.6 million barrels per day, which more
than offset the impact of a 7.3 percent decline in volumes on our
onshore crude oil pipelines and marine terminals compared to 2015.
Cash flow generated from our fee-based businesses, new assets,
expansions and cost control more than offset the decrease in cash
flow from our crude oil, natural gas and commodity-sensitive
businesses.”
“During 2016, we successfully completed $2.2 billion of organic
growth projects that began commercial operations, including two new
cryogenic natural gas processing plants in the Delaware Basin and
our ethane export marine terminal on the Houston Ship Channel. Our
commercial teams have been successful in developing new organic
growth projects during this business cycle. Including our isobutane
dehydrogenation (“iBDH”) project that we announced this morning, we
have approximately $6.7 billion of growth capital projects under
construction that are scheduled for completion between now and
2019. Our largest project, the propane dehydrogenation (“PDH”)
facility at our Mont Belvieu complex, is expected to begin
commercial operations mid-2017. Due to the increase in activity and
expected crude oil volume growth from the Permian Basin, we have
elected to increase the capacity of our Midland-to-ECHO pipeline to
450,000 barrels per day. These projects provide visibility to new
sources of distributable cash flow and support for distributions to
our partners,” said Teague.
“I would like to thank our team of over 6,700 employees for
their exceptional contributions to Enterprise’s successes during
2016. I would also like to thank our debt and equity investors for
their continued support through this period as we make investments
to expand our integrated midstream energy system,” concluded
Teague.

Review of Fourth Quarter 2016 Segment
Performance
NGL Pipelines & Services – Gross operating margin for
the NGL Pipelines & Services segment increased 7 percent to
$784 million for the fourth quarter of 2016 from $730 million for
the fourth quarter of 2015.
Enterprise’s natural gas processing and related NGL marketing
business generated gross operating margin of $228 million for the
fourth quarter of 2016 compared to $231 million for the fourth
quarter of 2015. Gross operating margin from our natural gas
processing business decreased $26 million from overall lower
processing margins including hedging activities, and lower fees and
volumes. Repairs were completed to the partnership’s Pascagoula
natural gas processing plant, which resumed operations on December
15, 2016. The plant had been out of service since June 2016 due to
fire damage. Enterprise estimates the total impact of the
Pascagoula plant outage in terms of higher operating expense, lost
gross operating margin opportunity and sustaining capital
expenditures was approximately $31 million during the fourth
quarter of 2016. Currently, Pascagoula plant volumes have returned
to pre-incident levels of approximately 500 million cubic feet per
day.
Enterprise’s natural gas processing plants reported fee-based
processing volumes of 4.4 Bcf/d in the fourth quarter of 2016
compared to 4.9 Bcf/d in the fourth quarter of 2015. This decrease
in the fee-based processing volumes was primarily attributable to
down time at the Pascagoula plant and natural gas production
declines in South Texas. Enterprise’s equity NGL production
increased 6 percent to 156 MBPD for the fourth quarter of 2016 on
higher recoveries of ethane at our Rockies processing facilities
and contributions from our recently completed plants in the
Delaware Basin.
Partially offsetting the decline in gross operating margin from
the natural gas processing business was a $23 million increase in
gross operating margin from Enterprise’s NGL marketing activities,
which benefited from increased sales volumes of LPG for exports
partially offset by lower sales margins.
Gross operating margin from the partnership’s NGL pipelines and
storage business increased 10 percent, to $413 million for the
fourth quarter of 2016 compared to $375 million for the fourth
quarter of 2015. NGL pipeline transportation volumes were a record
3.1 million BPD for the fourth quarter of 2016 compared to 2.9
million BPD for the same quarter of 2015. The partnership’s total
NGL marine terminal loading and unloading volumes were 440 MBPD for
the fourth quarter of 2016 compared to 327 MBPD for the fourth
quarter of 2015.
Enterprise’s ATEX and Aegis ethane pipelines reported a $30
million increase in gross operating margin for the fourth quarter
of 2016 compared to the fourth quarter of 2015 primarily due to a
98 MBPD increase in transportation volumes. The third and final
segment of the Aegis ethane pipeline was completed in December
2015.
Gross operating margin from the partnership’s LPG export
terminal on the Houston Ship Channel and a related pipeline
increased $23 million primarily due to a 98 MBPD increase in LPG
loadings during the fourth quarter of 2016 compared to the same
quarter in 2015. Enterprise also had an $8 million increase in
gross operating margin from its Mont Belvieu NGL and related
product storage business this quarter, primarily due to higher
fees.
Partially offsetting these increases in gross operating margin
was a $4 million decrease in gross operating margin from the
Mid-America and Seminole pipelines and related terminals primarily
due to lower average transportation fees and higher operating
expenses. Transportation volumes on these pipelines increased 93
MBPD, which includes 22 MBPD from the new South Eddy natural gas
processing facility in the Delaware Basin.
Enterprise’s ethane export marine terminal, which began service
in September 2016, reported a $6 million loss in gross operating
margin for the fourth quarter of 2016 on 14 MBPD of volumes. During
the quarter, certain customers elected to defer loadings due to the
commissioning of ships, receiving facilities and recently modified
ethylene facilities. Loadings were also impacted by fog in
December. Contracted commitments on this facility will increase to
approximately 150 MBPD by the end of 2017.
Gross operating margin from the partnership’s NGL fractionation
business increased 16 percent to $144 million for the fourth
quarter of 2016 from $124 million for the fourth quarter of 2015.
The increase was primarily due to higher fees, product blending,
and higher fractionation volumes from Enterprise’s Mont Belvieu NGL
fractionation complex. Total fractionation volumes were 846 MBPD
for each of the fourth quarters of 2016 and 2015.
Crude Oil Pipelines & Services – Gross operating
margin from the partnership’s Crude Oil Pipelines & Services
segment was $221 million for the fourth quarter of 2016 compared to
$258 million for the fourth quarter of 2015. Total crude oil
pipeline volumes were 1.4 million BPD for each of the fourth
quarters of 2016 and 2015. Total crude oil marine terminal loading
and unloading volumes were 468 MBPD for the fourth quarter of 2016
compared to 443 MBPD for the fourth quarter of 2015.
Enterprise’s South Texas and Eagle Ford Crude Oil Pipeline
Systems reported an aggregate $27 million decrease in gross
operating margin for the fourth quarter of 2016 compared to the
fourth quarter of 2015 primarily due to lower volumes and average
fees. Pipeline volumes on these systems, net to our interest, were
360 MBPD for the fourth quarter of 2016 compared to 456 MBPD for
the same quarter of 2015. Gross operating margin from the EFS
Midstream assets increased $5 million to $55 million for the fourth
quarter of 2016 compared to the fourth quarter of last year due to
higher fees.
Gross operating margin from Enterprise’s crude oil marketing and
related activities decreased $29 million this quarter compared to
the fourth quarter of 2015. Gross operating margin attributable to
Enterprise’s ownership in the Seaway Crude Pipeline increased $8
million in the fourth quarter of 2016 compared to the same quarter
in 2015 primarily due to a 25 percent increase in transportation
volumes and higher fees on the Seaway Loop pipeline. Net to our
interest, volumes on the Seaway Pipeline System increased 128 MBPD
to a record 643 MBPD in the fourth quarter of 2016.
Enterprise’s West Texas crude oil pipeline system reported a $9
million increase in gross operating margin for the fourth quarter
of 2016 compared to the fourth quarter of 2015 primarily due to a
23 MBPD increase in transportation volumes. The partnership’s
Beaumont Marine West Terminal had a $7 million increase in gross
operating margin for the fourth quarter of 2016 compared to the
same quarter last year as a result of 12 new crude oil storage
tanks placed into service in 2016 with a combined 4.1 million
barrels of storage capacity.
Natural Gas Pipelines & Services – Enterprise’s
Natural Gas Pipelines & Services segment reported gross
operating margin of $201 million for the fourth quarter of 2016
compared to $194 million for the fourth quarter of 2015. Total
natural gas transportation volumes were 11.5 TBtu/d for the fourth
quarter of 2016 compared to 11.9 TBtu/d for the fourth quarter of
2015.
The Texas Intrastate system reported gross operating margin of
$107 million for the fourth quarter of 2016 compared to $89 million
for the fourth quarter of 2015. The $18 million increase in gross
operating margin was primarily due to a $28 million lump sum
payment associated with the termination of certain transportation
contracts, partially offset by lower capacity fees and volumes on
the system. Natural gas pipeline volumes for the Texas Intrastate
system were 4.4 TBtu/d for the fourth quarter of 2016 compared to
4.7 TBtu/d for the fourth quarter of last year.
The Acadian Gas System reported gross operating margin of $36
million for the fourth quarter of 2016, compared to $44 million for
the fourth quarter of 2015. Lower fees more than offset increased
transportation volumes and lower operating expenses. Natural gas
pipeline volumes for the Acadian Gas System were 2.1 TBtu/d in the
fourth quarter of 2016 compared to 1.9 TBtu/d for the same quarter
of 2015.
Petrochemical & Refined Products Services – Gross
operating margin for the Petrochemical & Refined Products
Services segment was $149 million for the fourth quarter of 2016
compared to $171 million for the fourth quarter of 2015. Total
petrochemical and refined products transportation volumes increased
4 percent to 840 MBPD for the fourth quarter of 2016 from 804 MBPD
for the fourth quarter of 2015.
Gross operating margin for Enterprise’s butane isomerization and
related operations decreased $19 million this quarter compared to
the fourth quarter of 2015 due to increased maintenance expenses
and reduced revenues from downtime associated with the turnaround
of two units in the fourth quarter of 2016. Butane isomerization
volumes were 94 MBPD for the fourth quarter of 2016 compared to 115
MBPD for the same quarter of 2015.
Gross operating margin from the partnership’s propylene business
increased to $50 million for the fourth quarter of 2016 from $44
million for the fourth quarter of 2015. Higher sales volumes and
fees, and increased propylene exports were the primary reasons for
the increase in gross operating margin. Propylene fractionation
volumes were 67 MBPD for the fourth quarter of 2016 compared to 71
MBPD for the fourth quarter of 2015.
Enterprise’s refined products pipelines and related services
business reported gross operating margin of $73 million for the
fourth quarter of 2016 compared to $76 million for the fourth
quarter of 2015. Total refined products and petrochemical marine
terminal loading and unloading volumes increased 24 percent to 417
MBPD for the fourth quarter of 2016 compared to 336 MBPD for the
fourth quarter of 2015.
Capitalization
Total debt principal outstanding at December 31, 2016 was $23.9
billion, including $1.5 billion of junior subordinated notes to
which the nationally recognized debt rating agencies ascribe
partial equity content. Approximately $900 million of this debt is
attributable to working capital and restricted cash associated with
our marketing businesses, including capital related to contango
opportunities. This marketing-related working capital and related
debt is expected to decrease monthly through the first quarter of
2017. At December 31, 2016, Enterprise had consolidated liquidity
of approximately $3.8 billion, which was comprised of unrestricted
cash on hand and available borrowing capacity under our revolving
credit facilities.
Total capital spending in the fourth quarter of 2016 was $553
million, which includes $73 million of sustaining capital
expenditures. For the year, capital spending was $4.1 billion
including $1.0 billion for the second and final installment payment
for the acquisition of EFS Midstream and sustaining capital
expenditures of $252 million.
For 2017, we currently expect to invest in the range of $2.0
billion to $2.5 billion for growth capital projects and
approximately $250 million for sustaining capital expenditures.
2016 K-1 Tax Packages
The Enterprise K-1 tax packages are expected to be made
available online by 12:00 p.m. (CT) on Friday, February 24, 2017
and will be mailed by Thursday, March 2, 2017.

Sweet (“LLS”) as reported by Platts.
The weighted-average indicative market price for NGLs (based on
prices for such products at Mont Belvieu, Texas, which is the
primary industry hub for domestic NGL production) was $0.60 per
gallon during the fourth quarter of 2016 versus $0.46 per gallon
for the fourth quarter of 2015.
Fluctuations in our consolidated revenues and cost of sales
amounts are explained in large part by changes in energy commodity
prices. Energy commodity prices fluctuate for a variety of reasons,
including supply and demand imbalances and geopolitical
tensions.
A change in our consolidated marketing revenues due to lower
energy commodity sales prices may not result in a similar change in
gross operating margin or cash available for distribution, since
our consolidated cost of sales amounts would also change due to
comparable decreases in the purchase prices of the underlying
energy commodities.

(1) Sustaining capital expenditures are capital
expenditures (as defined by GAAP) resulting from improvements to
and major renewals of existing assets. Such expenditures serve to
maintain existing operations but do not generate additional
revenues.
Distributable cash flow
Our management compares the distributable cash flow we generate
to the cash distributions we expect to pay our partners. Using this
metric, management computes our distribution coverage ratio.
Distributable cash flow is an important non-GAAP liquidity measure
for our limited partners since it serves as an indicator of our
success in providing a cash return on investment. Specifically,
this liquidity measure indicates to investors whether or not we are
generating cash flows at a level that can sustain or support an
increase in our quarterly cash distributions. Distributable cash
flow is also a quantitative standard used by the investment
community with respect to publicly traded partnerships because the
value of a partnership unit is, in part, measured by its yield,
which is based on the amount of cash distributions a partnership
can pay to a unitholder. The GAAP measure most directly comparable
to distributable cash flow is net cash flow provided by operating
activities.

Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA is commonly used as a supplemental financial
measure by our management and external users of our financial
statements, such as investors, commercial banks, research analysts
and rating agencies, to assess the financial performance of our
assets without regard to financing methods, capital structures or
historical cost basis; the ability of our assets to generate cash
sufficient to pay interest and support our indebtedness; and the
viability of projects and the overall rates of return on
alternative investment opportunities.
Since Adjusted EBITDA excludes some, but not all, items that
affect net income or loss and because these measures may vary among
other companies, the Adjusted EBITDA data presented in this press
release may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other
companies. The GAAP measure most directly comparable to Adjusted
EBITDA is net cash flow provided by operating activities.

Total gross operating margin
We evaluate segment performance based on our financial measure
of gross operating margin. Gross operating margin is an important
performance measure of the core profitability of our operations and
forms the basis of our internal financial reporting. We believe
that investors benefit from having access to the same financial
measures that our management uses in evaluating segment
results.
The term “total gross operating margin” represents GAAP
operating income exclusive of (i) depreciation, amortization and
accretion expenses, (ii) impairment charges, (iii) gains and losses
attributable to asset sales, insurance recoveries and related
property damage and (iv) general and administrative costs. Total
gross operating margin includes equity in the earnings of
unconsolidated affiliates, but is exclusive of other income and
expense transactions, income taxes, the cumulative effect of
changes in accounting principles and extraordinary charges. Total
gross operating margin is presented on a 100 percent basis before
any allocation of earnings to noncontrolling interests. The GAAP
financial measure most directly comparable to total gross operating
margin is operating income.
Total gross operating margin excludes amounts attributable to
shipper make-up rights as described in footnote (4) to Exhibit A of
this press release.
