RTLR - Rattler Midstream LP a Subsidiary of Diamondback Energy Inc. Reports Second Quarter 2020 Financial and Operating Results

MIDLAND, Texas, Aug. 05, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Rattler Midstream LP (NASDAQ: RTLR) (“Rattler” or the “Company”), a subsidiary of Diamondback Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ: FANG) (“Diamondback”), today announced financial and operating results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2020.

SECOND QUARTER 2020 HIGHLIGHTS

  • Q2 2020 consolidated net income (including non-controlling interest) of $12.5 million, consolidated adjusted net income (as defined and reconciled below) of $27.9 million
  • Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA (as defined and reconciled below) of $53.9 million
  • Board of Directors of Rattler's general partner approved a cash distribution for the second quarter of 2020 of $0.29 per common unit ($1.16 annualized); implies a 14% annualized yield based on the August 4, 2020 unit closing price of $8.06
  • Q2 2020 cash operated capital expenditures of $39.5 million
  • Q2 2020 average produced water gathering and disposal volumes of 771 MBbl/d, flat from Q2 2019 and down 18% from Q1 2020
  • Q2 2020 average sourced water volumes of 78 MBbl/d, down 83% from both Q2 2019 and Q1 2020; 30% of total sourced water volumes in Q2 2020 sourced from recycled produced water
  • Q2 2020 average crude oil gathering volumes of 91 MBbl/d, up 17% over Q2 2019 and down 6% from Q1 2020
  • Q2 2020 average gas gathering volumes of 108 BBtu/d, up 27% over Q2 2019 and down 9% from Q1 2020

“The second quarter of 2020 presented historic volatility in global energy demand and commodity prices.  Rattler, despite all of its operations being located in the premier low-cost shale basin and operated by a low-cost operator in Diamondback, was not spared from this volatility.  Diamondback made the prudent decision to suspend completion activity and curtail production in the quarter, directly impacting Rattler’s second quarter volumes,” stated Travis Stice, Chief Executive Officer of Rattler’s general partner.

Mr. Stice continued, “Looking ahead, while this quarter reflected the effects of a severe disruption in the pace of expected development activity on Rattler’s assets, we are focused on reducing capital expenditures and operating costs across our asset base to increase free cash flow in a lower growth environment.  Additionally, with three of our major equity method investments in full service, and minimal operated growth capex expected to be required in the future, Rattler is positioned to provide significant free cash flow to support its distribution.  Rattler, with its equity method investment build cycle nearing completion, operated assets generating free cash flow and conservative financial leverage, is well-situated to weather this commodity cycle."

OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL UPDATE

During the second quarter of 2020, the Company recorded total operating income of $28.5 million, down 53% compared to the first quarter of 2020 and a decrease of 49% from the second quarter of 2019. During the second quarter of 2020, the Company recorded consolidated net income (including non-controlling interest) of $12.5 million, inclusive of a $15.8 million impairment charge associated with goodwill related to its interest in the OMOG JV, a decrease of 77% from the first quarter of 2020 and a decrease of 73% from the second quarter of 2019. Second quarter 2020 adjusted net income (as defined and reconciled below) was $27.9 million, down 49% from the first quarter of 2020 and down 40% from the second quarter of 2019. Second quarter 2020 Adjusted EBITDA (as defined and reconciled below) was $53.9 million, down 33% from the first quarter of 2020 and down 19% from the second quarter of 2019.

Average produced water gathering and disposal volumes for Q2 2020 were 771 MBbl/d, flat from Q2 2019 and down 18% from Q1 2020.  Average sourced water volumes were 78 MBbl/d, down 83% from both Q2 2019 and Q1 2020 due to Diamondback suspending almost all completion activity between mid April and late June.  Average crude oil gathering volumes were 91 MBbl/d, up 17% over Q2 2019 and down 6% from Q1 2020.  Average gas gathering volumes were 108 BBtu/d, down 9% from Q1 2020 and up 27% over Q2 2019.

Second quarter operated capital expenditures totaled $39.5 million, and aggregate contributions to equity method joint ventures were $33.5 million.  Rattler also received proceeds of $8.1 million in distributions from equity method investments.  As of June 30, 2020, the Company had $11.2 million of cash and $77.0 million available under its $600.0 million revolving credit facility.

SENIOR NOTES OFFERING

On July 14, 2020, the Company completed an offering (the “Notes Offering”) of $500.0 million in aggregate principal amount of its 5.625% Senior Notes due 2025.  The Company received net proceeds of approximately $489.5 million from the Notes Offering. The Company loaned the gross proceeds to Rattler Midstream LLC, which used such proceeds to pay down borrowings under its revolving credit facility. As of June 30, 2020, pro forma for this offering, Rattler had $11.2 million of cash and $566.5 million available under its $600.0 million revolving credit facility, resulting in total liquidity of $577.7 million.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

Adjusted EBITDA is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure used by management and external users of its financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies.  Management believes Adjusted EBITDA is useful because the measure allows it to more effectively evaluate the Company's operating performance and compare the results of its operations period to period without regard to its financing methods or capital structure.

The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income before income taxes, interest expense, net of amount capitalized, its proportional impairment related to equity method investments, non-cash unit-based compensation expense, depreciation, amortization and accretion on assets and liabilities of Rattler Midstream Operating LLC, its proportional interest of depreciation and interest on its equity method investments and other non-cash transactions.  Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered an alternative to net income or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP").  The GAAP measure most directly comparable to Adjusted EBITDA is net income.  Adjusted EBITDA excludes some, but not all, items that affect net income, and these measures may vary from those of other companies.  As a result, Adjusted EBITDA as presented below may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

The Company does not provide guidance on the reconciling items between forecasted Net Income and forecasted Adjusted EBITDA due to the uncertainty regarding timing and estimates of these items. Rattler provides a range for the forecasts of Net Income and Adjusted EBITDA to allow for the variability in timing and uncertainty of estimates of reconciling items between forecasted Net Income and forecasted Adjusted EBITDA. Therefore, the Company cannot reconcile forecasted Net Income to forecasted Adjusted EBITDA without unreasonable effort.

The following table presents a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure for each of the periods indicated:

Adjusted net income is a non-GAAP financial measure equal to net income adjusted for impairment related to equity method investments and related income tax adjustments. The Partnership's computation of adjusted net income may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies or to such measure in our credit facility or any of our other contracts.
