On Tuesday, August 6, 2019, diversified energy master limited partnership Genesis Energy, L.P. (GEL) announced its second quarter 2019 earnings results. At first glance, these results appeared to be rather disappointing as the company failed to meet the expectations of its analysts in terms of top-line revenues, although its earnings were in-line with expectations. A closer look at these results does indeed reveal that there were a few things to like here, particularly when it comes to the company's ability to generate the cash that it needs to cover its respectable distribution.
