CALGARY, AB – Gibson Energy Inc. announced today its financial and operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021.
“We are pleased to report another solid quarter from both an operational and financial perspective, with our Infrastructure segment performing in-line with our expected run-rate on a normalized basis and Marketing moderately above our initial outlook,” said Steve Spaulding, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Having resumed our commercial discussions with customers around the start of the year, these have now translated to the announcement of several new projects, including new tankage at Edmonton and the biofuels blending project, such that we expect to deploy $200 million in growth capital in 2021. We continue to advance several other opportunities and remain confident in our ability to deploy similar levels of capital going forward while maintaining the 5x to 7x EBITDA build multiples that we have consistently achieved over the past several years.”
Financial Highlights:
- Revenue of $1,675 million in the second quarter, a $880 million or 111% increase over the second quarter of 2020, a result of higher commodity prices and volumes increasing contribution from the Marketing Segment
- Infrastructure Adjusted EBITDA(1) of $118 million in the second quarter, a $29 million or 32% increase over the second quarter of 2020, due to additional tankage in service at Hardisty and the benefit of a $20 million payment for the present value of the remaining term of a rail loading contract in the current quarter
- Marketing Adjusted EBITDA of $19 million in the second quarter, a $45 million or 71% decrease over the second quarter of 2020, driven by the availability of time-based opportunities created by significant volatility in commodity markets during the prior quarter as well as limited opportunities and reduced margins within the Crude Marketing business in the current quarter
- Adjusted EBITDA on a consolidated basis of $128 million, a $17 million or 12% decrease over the second quarter of 2020, due to the factors discussed above with G&A comparable between the two periods
- Net Income of $32 million in the second quarter, a $9 million or 22% decrease over the second quarter of 2020, largely a result of the factors described above
- Distributable cash flow of $92 million in the second quarter, a $2 million or 2% decrease over the second quarter of 2020, with a decreased contribution from the Marketing segment being offset by an increase in the Infrastructure segment and lower taxes in the current quarter
- Payout ratio on a trailing twelve-month basis of 73%, near the low end of Gibson’s 70% – 80% target range
- Maintained a strong financial position, with Net Debt to Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA at June 30, 2021 of 3.2x, within the Company’s 3.0x – 3.5x target range, and remain fully-funded for all sanctioned capital
Strategic Developments and Highlights:
- Completed the construction of the DRU on-schedule and within expected capital costs
- Subsequent to the quarter, sanctioned the construction of a new tank, representing 435,000 barrels of storage, at its Edmonton Terminal underpinned by a long-term, take-or-pay and stable fee-based agreement with a new Investment Grade energy customer to the terminal
- Sanctioned the biofuels blending project, new tankage at Edmonton and several incremental projects since the start of the year, such that Gibson anticipates growth capital in 2021 of approximately $200 million, in addition to replacement capital of approximately $30 million
- Upgraded to an “AA” status in the MSCI ESG Ratings, denoting top quartile performance within their rated constituents, and added to both the S&P/TSX Composite ESG Index and the Sustainalytics Jantzi Social Index
- Became the first public energy company in North America to fully transition its principal syndicated credit facility into one with sustainability-linked terms, while extending the maturity of the $750 million facility to a full five years into 2026
