The earnings call highlights strong financial performance with increased EBITDA across segments and a positive outlook for fuel margins. The Q&A section shows confidence in achieving synergies from acquisitions and maintaining dividend equivalency, despite some uncertainties in management's responses. The distribution increase and solid guidance further support a positive sentiment. Considering the company's large-scale acquisitions and strategic growth initiatives, the stock is likely to experience a positive movement in the short term.
Adjusted EBITDA $464 million, excluding approximately $10 million of onetime transaction-related expenses. This represents a record second quarter performance.
Distributable Cash Flow (Adjusted) $300 million. This reflects strong financial performance and operational efficiency.
Growth Capital Expenditure $120 million in the second quarter, including $15 million for joint ventures with Energy Transfer. This is part of a planned $400 million growth capital expenditure for 2025.
Maintenance Capital Expenditure $40 million in the second quarter, including $2 million for joint ventures with Energy Transfer. This is part of a planned $150 million maintenance capital expenditure for 2025.
Revolving Credit Facility Borrowings $200 million outstanding borrowings as of the end of the second quarter, out of a $1.5 billion facility. This indicates a leverage ratio just under 4.2x.
Distribution Per Common Unit $0.9088 for the second quarter, or approximately $3.63 annualized. This marks a 1.25% increase compared to the previous quarter and reflects a trailing 12-month coverage ratio of 1.9x.
Fuel Distribution Segment Adjusted EBITDA $214 million, excluding $8 million of onetime transaction-related expenses. Volumes were 2.2 billion gallons, flat year-over-year, with a margin of $0.105 per gallon compared to $0.118 per gallon in Q2 2024. The margin decline is attributed to portfolio changes and reclassification of transmix processing margin.
Pipeline Systems Segment Adjusted EBITDA $177 million, compared to $111 million in Q2 2024. This increase is driven by longer haul tariffs, strong blending margins, and robust agricultural demand in the Midwest.
Terminal Segment Adjusted EBITDA $73 million, compared to $43 million in Q2 2024. This growth is attributed to strong throughput growth and good performance in the transmix business.
