Enviva Partners, LP Reports Financial Results for First Quarter 2018 and Announces Eleventh Consecutive Distribution Increase
BETHESDA, Md.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Enviva Partners, LP (NYSE: EVA) (the “Partnership” or “we”) today
reported financial and operating results for the first quarter of 2018.
Highlights:
-
Declared a quarterly distribution of $0.6250 per unit, a 12.6%
increase from the distribution paid for the first quarter of 2017 -
Reported a net loss of $19.3 million for the first quarter of 2018,
reflecting $19.5 million of expenses related to the incident at the
Chesapeake terminal -
Reported an adjusted EBITDA of $17.6 million for the first quarter
of 2018. Excluding the full impact of the incident at the Chesapeake
terminal, adjusted EBITDA would have been $21.8 million for the first
quarter of 2018 -
Chesapeake terminal expected to return to full operation by June
30, 2018; substantially all of the costs associated with the incident
expected to be recoverable -
Reaffirmed full-year 2018 distribution guidance of at least $2.53
per unit
“While we continue the process of restoring the Chesapeake terminal from
the recent fire incident and maintaining an extended logistics chain, we
are proud of our operations team for keeping our plants running at rates
that exceeded our performance in the first quarter of last year,” said
John Keppler, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Enviva. “With our
stable and growing production performance, our sales forecast remains
consistent with our expectations for the full year and reinforces our
confidence in distributing at least $2.53 per unit for 2018.”
Presentation of Financial Results and Adoption of ASC 606
As of January 1, 2018, the Partnership adopted Financial Accounting
Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification 606 (“ASC 606”), Revenue
from Contracts with Customers, which requires entities to recognize
revenue when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to
customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the
entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or
services. Prior to the adoption of ASC 606, back-to-back transactions to
purchase and sell wood pellets, where title and risk of loss are
immediately transferred to the ultimate purchaser, were recorded in
“other revenue,” net of costs paid to third-party suppliers. Pursuant to
ASC 606, the Partnership now recognizes revenue from such transactions
on a gross basis in “product sales.”
Unless otherwise indicated, the financial results for the three months
ended March 31, 2018 presented in this release are prepared on this
basis.
Chesapeake Incident
As the Partnership has previously reported in a press release and a
special letter to investors on April 9, 2018, a fire (the “Chesapeake
Incident”) occurred on February 27, 2018 at the Partnership’s marine
export terminal at the Port of Chesapeake, Virginia (the “Chesapeake
terminal”). The fire was quickly controlled due to the efforts of onsite
personnel and the Chesapeake terminal’s fire suppression and mitigation
processes, with assistance from local fire departments and other first
responders. The process to restore the Chesapeake terminal is underway
and we expect the terminal to return to full operation by June 30, 2018.
The flexibility and risk mitigation provided by our portfolio of plants
and ports have enabled us to meet every customer delivery required under
our off-take agreements since the incident. We expect to meet all of our
contractual requirements for the balance of the year, although specific
quarterly timing of shipments may be affected. We believe substantially
all of the costs resulting from the Chesapeake Incident will be
recoverable through insurance or our other contractual rights.
In addition to presenting our financial results in accordance with GAAP,
in certain cases we have provided financial results excluding the full
financial impact of the Chesapeake Incident. References herein to the
full financial impact of the Chesapeake Incident include the approximate
costs incurred through March 31, 2018 in connection with emergency
responses, disposal of wood pellet inventory, asset disposal and repair,
as well as associated business continuity expenses, which include
incremental logistics costs and loss of margin on incremental wood
pellet production, offset by insurance recoveries received to date.
First Quarter Financial Results
For the first quarter of 2018, we generated net revenue of $125.8
million, an increase of 2.7 percent, or $3.4 million, from the
corresponding quarter of 2017. Included in net revenue were product
sales of $122.8 million on a volume of 648,000 metric tons (“MT”) of
wood pellets during the first quarter of 2018, as compared to $119.0
million on a volume of 623,000 MT of wood pellets during the
corresponding quarter of 2017. The $3.8 million increase in product
sales was primarily attributable to the adoption of ASC 606.
For the first quarter of 2018, we generated negative gross margin of
$4.5 million, as compared to $16.4 million for the corresponding period
in 2017, a decrease of $20.9 million. The decrease in gross margin was
primarily attributable to $19.6 million of expenses, net of insurance
recoveries received to date, related to the Chesapeake Incident.
Adjusted gross margin per metric ton was $7.35 for the first quarter of
2018. Excluding the full financial impact of the Chesapeake Incident, we
would have earned adjusted gross margin per metric ton of $38.11.
Adjusted gross margin per metric ton was $41.29 for the first quarter of
2017. Adjusting for the impact of ASC 606 for comparison purposes,
adjusted gross margin per metric ton would have been $38.57 for the
first quarter of 2017.
Net loss for the first quarter of 2018 was $19.3 million compared to a
small net loss for the first quarter of 2017, a decrease of $19.3
million primarily due to $19.5 million of expenses, net of insurance
recoveries received to date, related to the Chesapeake Incident.
Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of 2018 was $17.6 million, as
compared to $21.3 million for the corresponding quarter of 2017. The
decrease was primarily attributable to $3.9 million of incremental costs
related to temporary storage, handling, and ship loading operations, as
well as lower product sales as the result of modest delays in shipments
due to the Chesapeake Incident. Excluding the full financial impact of
the Chesapeake Incident, adjusted EBITDA would have been $21.8 million
for the first quarter of 2018. We expect substantially all of the
unrecovered costs resulting from the incident will be recoverable in
subsequent quarters.
Distributable cash flow, prior to any distributions attributable to
incentive distribution rights paid to our general partner, was $8.8
million for the quarter. Excluding the full financial impact of the
Chesapeake Incident, distributable cash flow would have been $13.0
million for the quarter.
Distribution
The board of directors of our general partner declared a distribution of
$0.6250 per common and subordinated unit for the first quarter of 2018.
This distribution is 12.6 percent higher than the distribution for the
first quarter of 2017 and represents the eleventh consecutive
distribution increase since the Partnership’s initial public offering of
units representing limited partner interests. The Partnership’s
distributable cash flow, net of amounts attributable to incentive
distribution rights, of $7.5 million for the first quarter of 2018
covers the distribution for the quarter at 0.46 times. The quarterly
distribution will be paid on Tuesday, May 29, 2018, to unitholders of
record as of the close of business on Tuesday, May 15, 2018.
Outlook and Guidance
The Partnership reaffirms full-year 2018 per unit distribution guidance
of at least $2.53, with continued quarter-over-quarter increases
expected throughout the year. As described in a press release and a
special letter to investors on April 9, 2018, despite the impact from
the Chesapeake Incident, the Partnership expects that full-year adjusted
EBITDA and distributable cash flow guidance provided in our February 22,
2018 earnings release remains achievable. However, the actual amounts we
report for any specific quarter and for full-year 2018 will be partially
dependent on the amount of recoveries from insurers and other
responsible parties, the timing and performance of which are not
entirely within the Partnership’s control. In addition, quarterly
distribution coverage ratios may not be comparable to the Partnership’s
previously reported periods or targets, as costs and recoveries
associated with the Chesapeake Incident may not fall within the same
periods. The guidance amounts do not include the impact of any
additional acquisitions by the Partnership from the sponsor’s joint
ventures or third parties. In addition, although deliveries to our
customers are generally ratable over the year, the Partnership’s
quarterly income and cash flow are subject to seasonality and the mix of
customer shipments made, which vary from period to period. As such, the
board of directors of the Partnership’s general partner evaluates the
Partnership’s distribution coverage ratio on an annual basis when
determining the distribution for a quarter.
Market and Contracting Update
Our sales strategy remains to fully contract the production capacity of
the Partnership. Our current capacity is matched with a portfolio of
off-take contracts that has a weighted-average remaining term of 9.0
years and a $6.0 billion product sales backlog as of April 15, 2018.
The Partnership recently further increased and extended its relationship
with Engie Energy Management SCRL (“ENGIE”). In addition to a series of
agreements with ENGIE we previously disclosed, the Partnership recently
entered into a new agreement with ENGIE to sell an incremental 405,000
MT of wood pellets in the aggregate from 2018 to 2020. In total, the
Partnership is now contracted to deliver an aggregate of approximately
1.4 million MT of wood pellets to ENGIE from April 2018 through 2023.
Furthermore, in April, the Partnership executed a firm, long-term
take-or-pay off-take contract with ENGIE to supply 45,000 metric tons
per year (“MTPY”) of wood pellets for fifteen years starting in 2021.
According to independent industry experts, global demand for industrial
wood pellets increased by 15% in 2017 and is expected to increase by a
compound average growth rate of 18% per annum through 2021, driven by
the expected continued growth in the European industrial pellets market
and rapid growth in Asia, as demonstrated by several recent developments:
-
Earlier in the year, the European Parliament finalized its report on
Renewable Energy Directive II (“RED II”) and voted to increase the
share of renewable energy generation to 35% by 2030. The 2030
renewable energy target includes a significant role for sustainably
sourced biomass heat and power projects. The EU Commission, Council,
and Parliament are expected to finalize the RED II policy framework
toward the end of 2018. -
In the Netherlands, the government has stated its intent to close the
country’s largest natural gas field and is encouraging the 200 largest
users of natural gas to convert to an alternative, preferably
renewable, source of energy. This is further enhancing interest in
biomass industrial heat projects, which are eligible for a government
incentive program that recently allocated a further EUR 6 billion to
low-carbon energy projects. -
Germany’s new energy minister has stated that coal emissions in
Germany need to fall by 60% in order to reach the country’s binding
2030 carbon reduction mandates. As all German nuclear generation is
expected to be retired by 2022, and given the ongoing need for
dispatchable heat and electricity, industrial scale biomass is
expected to become an increasingly attractive option. -
In Japan, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (“METI”) has
already approved feed-in tariffs (“FiT”) for approximately 14
gigawatts (“GWs”) of biomass capacity as of September 2017, far
exceeding the original target. The Partnership continues to progress
negotiations with several major Japanese trading houses and utilities
for long-term supply of wood pellets and also completed its first
delivery to Mitsui during the first quarter of 2018. -
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recently issued a
statement of policy that biomass from managed forests will be treated
as carbon neutral when used for energy production. This position
aligns with numerous U.S. state policies and international programs
such as the European Union Emission Trading Scheme.
Sponsor Activity
The original joint venture (the “First Hancock JV”) between affiliates
of our sponsor and John Hancock Life Insurance Company (U.S.A.) (“John
Hancock”) continues to construct the 600,000 MTPY production plant in
Hamlet, North Carolina (the “Hamlet plant”). The First Hancock JV
expects the Hamlet plant will be operational in the first half of 2019.
Production from the Hamlet plant is expected to supply MGT Teesside
Ltd.’s Tees Renewable Energy Plant, which currently is under
construction in the United Kingdom. Upon first deliveries of production
from the Hamlet plant to the Partnership’s deep-water marine terminal in
Wilmington, North Carolina (the “Wilmington terminal”), the Partnership
will make a second and final payment of $74.0 million to the First
Hancock JV, subject to certain conditions, and enter into a long-term
terminal services agreement with the First Hancock JV to receive, store,
and load wood pellets from the Hamlet plant. The terminal services
agreement between the Partnership and the First Hancock JV is expected
to include minimum throughput obligations from the Hamlet plant.
As previously announced, our sponsor’s new joint venture with John
Hancock (the “Second Hancock JV”) acquired a wood pellet production
plant in Greenwood, South Carolina. The Second Hancock JV has begun
investing incremental capital in the plant and expects to increase its
production capacity to 600,000 MTPY, subject to receiving necessary
permits.
In addition, the Second Hancock JV continues to progress the development
of a deep-water marine terminal in Pascagoula, Mississippi and a wood
pellet production plant in Lucedale, Mississippi to serve growing demand
from Asian and European customers. The Second Hancock JV expects to make
a final investment decision on these facilities in late 2018 or early
2019.

We will host a conference call with executive management related to our
first-quarter 2018 results and a more detailed market update at
10:00 a.m. (Eastern Time) on Thursday, May 3, 2018. Information on how
interested parties may listen to the conference call is available on the
Investor Relations page of our website (www.envivabiomass.com).
A replay of the conference call will be available on our website after
the live call concludes.

Notice
This press release is intended to be a qualified notice under Treasury
Regulation Section 1.1446-4(b). Brokers and nominees should treat 100
percent of the Partnership’s distributions to non-U.S. investors as
being attributable to income that is effectively connected with a United
States trade or business. Accordingly, the Partnership’s distributions
to non-U.S. investors are subject to federal income tax withholding at
the highest applicable effective tax rate.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We use adjusted gross margin per metric ton, adjusted EBITDA, and
distributable cash flow to measure our financial performance.
Adjusted Gross Margin per Metric Ton
We define adjusted gross margin as gross margin excluding asset
disposals and depreciation and amortization included in cost of goods
sold. We believe adjusted gross margin per metric ton is a meaningful
measure because it compares our revenue-generating activities to our
operating costs for a view of profitability and performance on a per
metric ton basis. Adjusted gross margin per metric ton will primarily be
affected by our ability to meet targeted production volumes and to
control direct and indirect costs associated with procurement and
delivery of wood fiber to our production plants and the production and
distribution of wood pellets.
Adjusted EBITDA
We define adjusted EBITDA as net income or loss excluding depreciation
and amortization, interest expense, income tax expense, early retirement
of debt obligations, non-cash unit compensation expense, asset
impairments and disposals, changes in the fair value of derivative
instruments, and certain items of income or loss that we characterize as
unrepresentative of our ongoing operations, including certain expenses
incurred related to the Chesapeake Incident (consisting of emergency
response expenses, expenses related to the disposal of inventory, and
asset disposal and repair costs, offset by insurance recoveries).
Adjusted EBITDA is a supplemental measure used by our management and
other users of our financial statements, such as investors, commercial
banks, and research analysts, to assess the financial performance of our
assets without regard to financing methods or capital structure.
Distributable Cash Flow
We define distributable cash flow as adjusted EBITDA less maintenance
capital expenditures and interest expense net of amortization of debt
issuance costs, debt premium, and original issue discounts. We use
distributable cash flow as a performance metric to compare the
cash-generating performance of the Partnership from period to period and
to compare the cash-generating performance for specific periods to the
cash distributions (if any) that are expected to be paid to our
unitholders. We do not rely on distributable cash flow as a liquidity
measure.
Adjusted gross margin per metric ton, adjusted EBITDA, and distributable
cash flow are not financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP.
We believe that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures
provides useful information to investors in assessing our financial
condition and results of operations. Our non-GAAP financial measures
should not be considered as alternatives to the most directly comparable
GAAP financial measures. Each of these non-GAAP financial measures has
important limitations as an analytical tool because they exclude some,
but not all, items that affect the most directly comparable GAAP
financial measures. You should not consider adjusted gross margin per
metric ton, adjusted EBITDA, or distributable cash flow in isolation or
as substitutes for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Our
definitions of these non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable
to similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing
their utility.
The following tables present a reconciliation of adjusted gross margin
per metric ton, adjusted EBITDA, and distributable cash flow to the most
directly comparable GAAP financial measures, as applicable, for each of
the periods indicated.

effective quality control systems at our production plants and
deep-water marine terminals, which could lead to the rejection of our
products by our customers; (xviii) changes in the quality specifications
for our products that are required by our customers; (xix) labor
disputes; (xx) the effects of the anticipated exit of the United Kingdom
(“Brexit”) from the European Union on our and our customers’ businesses;
(xxi) our ability to borrow funds and access capital markets; (xxii) our
mis-estimation of the amounts and the timing of the costs the
Partnership has incurred and will incur as result of the Chesapeake
Incident; and (xxiii) our ability to recover costs associated with the
