Gibson Energy Announces 2023 Third Quarter Results
Press Release
CALGARY, AB, Oct. 30, 2023 – Gibson Energy Inc. announced today its financial and operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023.
“With the successful closing of the Gateway Terminal acquisition during the third quarter, Gibson is pleased to report solid results driven by the Infrastructure segment exceeding expectations and Marketing meeting expectations,” said Steve Spaulding, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Looking forward we are confident around the outlook for our expanded liquids infrastructure asset base, and will continue to focus on growing long-term, high-quality cashflows. In addition to our impressive financial and operational results, we entered into a renewable energy power purchase agreement, with Capstone Infrastructure Corporation and Sawridge First Nation, which demonstrates Gibson’s commitment to the low-carbon transition and reaching Net Zero by 2050.”
Financial Highlights:
- Revenue of $3,226 million in the third quarter, a $574 million or 22% increase relative to the third quarter of 2022, primarily due to increased revenues within the Marketing segment driven by higher volumes, partially offset by lower commodity prices
- Infrastructure Adjusted EBITDA(1) of $140 million in the third quarter, a $29 million or 26% increase relative to the third quarter of 2022, primarily driven by the two-month contribution from the newly acquired Gateway Terminal as well as strong performance from the legacy Infrastructure business
- Marketing Adjusted EBITDA(1) of $24 million in the third quarter, a $24 million or 50% decrease from the third quarter of 2022, primarily due to lower refined product margins
- Adjusted EBITDA(1) on a consolidated basis of $150 million in the third quarter, flat relative to the third quarter of 2022, as result of the factors described above as well as somewhat higher general and administrative expenses
- Net Income of $21 million in the third quarter, a $51 million or 71% decrease over the third quarter of 2022, primarily due to the acquisition and integration costs and higher finance costs incurred during the current period as a result of the Gateway Terminal acquisition and related financing activities, partially offset by lower income tax expense and lower depreciation expense in the current period
- Distributable Cash Flow(1) of $93 million in the third quarter, a $22 million or 19% decrease from the third quarter of 2022, a result of the factors described above
- Dividend Payout ratio(2) on a trailing twelve-month basis of 61%, below the Company’s 70% – 80% target range
- Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio(2) at September 30, 2023 of 4.0x, above the top end of the Company’s 3.0x – 3.5x target range due to Adjusted EBITDA including only two months of contribution from the Gateway Terminal; we expect the Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio to be temporarily elevated until twelve-months of adjusted EBITDA from the Gateway Terminal is reflected in the Company’s Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio
Strategic Developments and Highlights:
- Successfully closed the acquisition of 100% of the membership interests of South Texas Gateway Terminal LLC for U.S.$1.1 billion, through which Gibson acquired the Gateway Terminal; this purpose-built high-quality crude oil export facility complements and diversifies the Company’s existing high quality liquids infrastructure asset base
- Closed the previously announced offering of $900 million of unsecured medium term notes as well as the offering of $200 million of 8.70% fixed-to-fixed rate subordinated notes
- The Company released its 2022 sustainability update report and announced it had entered into a 15-year renewable energy power purchase agreement, with Capstone Infrastructure Corporation and Sawridge First Nation, which is expected to meet over 50% of Gibson’s annual electricity needs over the period
