Equitrans Midstream Announces Full-Year and Fourth Quarter 2022 Results

Equitrans Midstream Corporation (NYSE: ETRN), today, announced financial and operational results for the full-year and fourth quarter 2022. Included in the "Non-GAAP Disclosures" section of this news release are important disclosures regarding the use of non-GAAP supplemental financial measures, including information regarding their most comparable GAAP financial measure.

2022 Highlights:

  • Generated $846 million of net cash from operating activities and $380 million of free cash flow
  • Recorded 71% of total operating revenue from firm reservation fees
  • Initiated a mixed-use water system build out and commenced operations of first above ground water storage facility
  • Secured a new booster compression expansion project
  • Published our annual Corporate Sustainability Report in accordance with GRI and SASB
  • Completed senior notes offering with proceeds used to repay nearest-term maturities

“We continue to pursue multiple paths in order to complete the MVP project. Although federal energy infrastructure permitting reform legislation was not enacted in 2022, we believe there continues to be significant bipartisan support for permitting reform in the new congress," said Thomas F. Karam, Equitrans chairman and chief executive officer. "On the regular way permitting path, we are engaged with the necessary federal agencies and appreciate the tremendous efforts of the staff who have put immense time into their reviews and analyses, especially considering some permits are being reviewed for a second and third time. We believe that the agencies are working to issue authorizations over the next several months, which we believe would position us to safely complete construction of MVP in 2023. However, we must acknowledge that the ultimate hurdle remains legal challenges of the permits before the U.S. Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals. As we've said before, we believe that projects, like MVP, that follow every required process and receive every required permit should prevail."

"In 2022, we remained committed to operating safely and delivering strong results for our stakeholders as we continue to find ways to drive capital efficiency, optimize systems, and control costs," said Diana M. Charletta, Equitrans president and chief operating officer. "During the year we made progress on several in-basin organic projects, including receiving the Final Environmental Impact Statement for our OVCX project and securing an approximately $70 million booster compression project from a producer customer, both of which are targeted for a 2024 in-service. In addition, we made many advancements in our sustainability program during the year, including the voluntary submission of our first CDP Water Security questionnaire, for which we received a score of 'B.' We also completed our TCFD readiness assessment; instituted a new Environmental Justice Policy; and converted high-bleed pneumatics to low-bleed or full-air pneumatics at ten compressor sites in support of our Climate Policy and emission reduction targets. As a follow-on to these efforts, in January 2023, we announced Equitrans’ status as a founding member of the Appalachian Methane Initiative, which is committed to further enhancing methane monitoring throughout the Appalachian Basin and facilitating additional methane emissions reduction in the region."

Net income attributable to ETRN common shareholders for the fourth quarter 2022 was impacted by several items, including a $5.1 million unrealized gain on derivative instruments and $8.1 million of operating expense related to the November 2022 Rager Mountain natural gas storage field incident (discussed below). The unrealized gain is reported within other income (expense), net, and relates to the contractual agreement with EQT Corporation (EQT) in which ETRN will receive cash from EQT conditioned on the quarterly average of certain Henry Hub natural gas prices exceeding certain thresholds beginning with the quarter in which the Mountain Valley Pipeline (MVP) is placed in-service through the fourth quarter of 2024. The contract is accounted for as a derivative with the fair value marked-to-market at each quarter-end.

For the full-year 2022, net loss attributable to ETRN common shareholders was impacted by several items, including a $583.1 million impairment of equity method investment related to Mountain Valley Pipeline, LLC (MVP JV) and an associated $69.9 million reduction in income tax benefit primarily due to a valuation allowance placed on the deferred tax assets; a $24.9 million loss on extinguishment of debt primarily related to the purchase in tender offers of approximately $1.0 billion in aggregate principal amount of several tranches of senior notes of EQM Midstream Partners, LP (EQM), a wholly owned subsidiary of ETRN; a $9.6 million unrealized gain on derivative instruments related to the previously described contractual agreement with EQT; a $3.7 million gain on sale of non-core gathering assets; and $8.1 million of operating expense related to the Rager Mountain natural gas storage field incident.

As a result of the gathering agreement entered into with EQT in February 2020, revenue from the contracted minimum volume commitment (MVC) is recognized utilizing an average gathering rate applied over the remaining contract life. The difference between the cash received from the MVC and the revenue recognized results in the deferral of revenue into future periods. Deferred revenue for the fourth quarter 2022 was $84.2 million and for the full-year 2022 was $345.1 million.

Operating revenue for the fourth quarter increased by $108.6 million compared to the same quarter last year, primarily due to approximately $106.1 million of deferred revenue in the fourth quarter of 2021 related to the cumulative impact of a transmission services contract amendment, increased transmission services revenue, higher water services revenue, and partially offset by lower gathered volumes. Operating expenses increased by $18.0 million compared to the fourth quarter 2021, primarily from $8.1 million of expenses, including a regulatory reserve, related to the Rager Mountain natural gas storage field incident and increased operating and maintenance, selling, general and administrative, and depreciation expenses.

Operating revenue for the full year increased by $40.7 million compared to 2021, primarily from the impact of deferred revenue, increased water services revenue, and partially offset by lower gathered volumes. Operating expenses decreased by $61.5 million compared to 2021, primarily driven by a $56.2 million impairment of long-lived assets in 2021 and lower selling, general, and administrative expenses.

QUARTERLY DIVIDEND

For the fourth quarter 2022, ETRN paid a quarterly cash dividend of $0.15 per common share on February 14, 2023, to ETRN common shareholders of record at the close of business on February 6, 2023.

Full-year 2022 includes approximately $10 million to replace certain previously installed water lines that ETRN believes do not meet their prescribed quality standards. ETRN has instituted actions in pursuit of recoupment of such replacement and related costs.

2023 GUIDANCE

Due to the uncertainty around the ultimate MVP path to completion and timing of forward construction and in-service, ETRN has provided full-year 2023 guidance assuming an MVP in-service during the second half of 2023 and provided full-year 2023 guidance assuming the absence of forward MVP construction and completion in 2023. The MVP project in-service timing impacts revenue recognition under certain related gathering and transportation agreements with EQT, including deferred revenue and the Henry Hub cash bonus payment provision. Therefore, ETRN is unable to provide full-year 2023 guidance for net income, adjusted EBITDA, and deferred revenue for the potential outcome in which there is no forward construction and completion of MVP in 2023 since the basis for any potential delay beyond 2023 is not known or reasonably able to be estimated.

BUSINESS AND PROJECT UPDATES

Outstanding Debt and Liquidity

As of December 31, 2022, ETRN reported $6.4 billion of consolidated debt; $240 million of borrowings and $234.9 million of letters of credit outstanding under EQM's revolving credit facility; $295.0 million of borrowings under Eureka's revolving credit facility; and $67.9 million of cash.

Rager Mountain Natural Gas Storage Field Incident

On November 6, 2022, ETRN responded to an incident regarding the venting of natural gas from a storage well at its Rager Mountain natural gas storage field, located in a remote area of Cambria County, Pennsylvania. ETRN engaged a leading specialty well control services company and, in coordination with the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (PADEP) and Federal Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA), successfully halted the venting of gas on November 19, 2022. ETRN has retained a leading firm involved in analyzing storage field incidents to conduct an independent investigation of the incident’s root cause, which is ongoing. Based on the results of testing to estimate the total change in natural gas inventory at the Rager Mountain storage reservoir, ETRN estimates that the Rager Mountain storage inventory was reduced by approximately 1.29 Bcf. However, as part of ongoing post-incident response activities, ETRN continues to evaluate whether and to what extent the inventory was reduced because of venting or whether some was due to potential migration.

Further, ETRN initiated a comprehensive review of all of its storage wells, including wells at the Rager Mountain facility, and this review of storage field asset integrity is ongoing. The PADEP and the PHMSA are investigating the incident and ETRN continues to cooperate in such investigations. In the fourth quarter, ETRN incurred expenses of $8.1 million, which includes a regulatory reserve for potential penalties, and continues to incur costs in 2023 in relation to post-incident response activities. For further information, refer to ETRN’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, to be filed with the SEC.

Exercise of Cash Option

Pursuant to the 2020 gathering agreement with EQT, on July 8, 2022, EQT elected to forgo aggregate potential gathering rate relief of up to approximately $235 million in the 24 months following MVP's in-service in exchange for a cash payment of approximately $196 million. The cash payment represented final consideration for approximately 20.5 million ETRN common shares that were purchased from EQT and retired in the first quarter of 2020. ETRN made the $196 million cash payment to EQT on October 4, 2022.

Ohio Valley Connector Expansion Project

On January 20, 2023, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) issued the Final Environmental Impact Statement for the Ohio Valley Connector Expansion Project (OVCX). OVCX will increase deliverability on ETRN's Ohio Valley Connector pipeline by approximately 350 MMcf per day and is designed to meet growing demand in key markets in the mid-continent and Gulf Coast through existing interconnects with long-haul pipelines in Clarington, OH. ETRN expects to receive all necessary approvals in the first half of 2023 and accordingly ETRN is targeting the incremental capacity to be in-service during the first half of 2024. ETRN expects to invest approximately $160 million in the project, which is primarily supported by a long-term firm capacity commitment of 330 MMcf per day.

Mountain Valley Pipeline

MVP JV remains engaged in the permitting process with the relevant federal agencies regarding the outstanding permits required to complete the project. ETRN believes that the agencies are working to issue such authorizations over the next several months and to produce authorizations, for the third time in certain cases, that address points raised by the U.S. Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals and exceed legal and regulatory standards. Based on the expected permitting timeline, ETRN believes the remaining construction activity could be completed to achieve a second half of 2023 in-service at a total project cost of approximately $6.6 billion, however, there remains significant uncertainty around current and potential litigation at the Fourth Circuit. In addition to pursuing the regular way permitting path, ETRN continues to support potential enactment of federal energy infrastructure permitting reform legislation that specifically requires the completion of the MVP project. ETRN believes that there remains bipartisan support and prospects for such legislation. ETRN believes that the MVP JV will complete the four to five months of remaining construction activity as promptly as practicable once authorized and fully mobilized and that the total project cost would be approximately $6.6 billion if MVP's completion is achieved in 2023. Through December 31, 2022, ETRN has funded approximately $2.7 billion and, if the MVP project were to be completed in 2023 at a total project cost of $6.6 billion, ETRN expects to fund a total of approximately $3.4 billion and to have an approximate 48.1% ownership interest in MVP. ETRN will operate the pipeline.

MVP Southgate

The MVP JV continues to evaluate the MVP Southgate project and is focused on its ongoing discussions and negotiations with the shipper and other prospective customers regarding refining the project's design, scope and/or timing in lieu of pursuing the project as originally contemplated. ETRN has a 47.2% ownership interest in MVP Southgate and is expected to operate the pipeline.

Water Services

During 2022, ETRN began the buildout of its mixed-use water system and, in August 2022, ETRN placed into service its initial above ground water storage facility, which has a capacity of approximately 150,000 barrels. ETRN expects to place the second above ground water storage facility, which will have a capacity of approximately 200,000 barrels, into service in the first half of 2023. The mixed-use water system is expected to be substantially completed in 2023.

In the fourth quarter, water operating income was $11.1 million and water EBITDA was $16.6 million. For the full year 2022, water operating income was $14.6 million and water EBITDA was $34.6 million. For 2023, ETRN expects water EBITDA of approximately $40 - $45 million.

NON-GAAP DISCLOSURES

Adjusted Net Income (Loss) Attributable to ETRN Common Shareholders and Adjusted Earnings (Loss) per Diluted Share Attributable to ETRN Common Shareholders

Adjusted net income (loss) attributable to ETRN common shareholders and adjusted earnings (loss) per diluted share attributable to ETRN common shareholders are non-GAAP supplemental financial measures that management and external users of ETRN’s consolidated financial statements, such as investors, may use to make period-to-period comparisons of earnings trends. Management believes that adjusted net income (loss) attributable to ETRN common shareholders and adjusted earnings (loss) per diluted share attributable to ETRN common shareholders as presented provide useful information for investors for evaluating period-over-period earnings. Adjusted net income (loss) attributable to ETRN common shareholders and adjusted earnings (loss) per diluted share attributable to ETRN common shareholders should not be considered as alternatives to net income (loss) attributable to ETRN common shareholders, earnings (loss) per diluted share attributable to ETRN common shareholders or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted net income (loss) attributable to ETRN common shareholders and adjusted earnings (loss) per diluted share attributable to ETRN common shareholders as presented have important limitations as analytical tools because they exclude some, but not all, items that affect net income (loss) attributable to ETRN common shareholders and earnings (loss) per diluted share attributable to ETRN common shareholders, including, as applicable, impairments of long-lived assets and equity method investments, unrealized gain (loss) on derivative instruments, loss on extinguishment of debt, gain on the sale of gathering assets, expenses for the Rager Mountain natural gas storage field incident (Rager Mountain incident), and the related tax impacts of these items, which items affect the comparability of results period to period. Additionally, because these non-GAAP metrics may be defined differently by other companies in ETRN’s industry, ETRN’s definitions of adjusted net income (loss) attributable to ETRN common shareholders and adjusted earnings (loss) per diluted share attributable to ETRN common shareholders may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing the utility of the measures. Adjusted net income (loss) attributable to ETRN common shareholders and adjusted earnings (loss) per diluted share attributable to ETRN common shareholders should not be viewed as indicative of the actual amount of net income (loss) attributable to ETRN common shareholders or actual earnings (loss) of ETRN in any given period.

The table below reconciles adjusted net income attributable to ETRN common shareholders and adjusted earnings per diluted share attributable to ETRN common shareholders with net income (loss) attributable to ETRN common shareholders and earnings (loss) per diluted share attributable to ETRN common shareholders as derived from the statements of consolidated comprehensive income to be included in ETRN’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. Diluted weighted average common shares outstanding assumes dilution for each applicable period.

Reflects cash dividends paid of $0.4873 per ETRN Series A Perpetual Convertible Preferred Share for the three months ended December 31, 2022 and $1.9492 per ETRN Series A Perpetual Convertible Preferred Share for the twelve months ended December 31, 2022.

(3)

Does not reflect amounts related to the noncontrolling interest share of Eureka.

(4)

ETRN accrues capital expenditures when the work has been completed but the associated bills have not yet been paid. Accrued capital expenditures are excluded from the statements of consolidated cash flows until they are paid.

(5)

Third quarter 2022 dividend of $0.15 per ETRN common share was paid during the fourth quarter 2022.

Adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow and retained free cash flow are non-GAAP supplemental financial measures that management and external users of ETRN's consolidated financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders, and rating agencies, may use to assess:

  • ETRN’s operating performance as compared to other publicly traded companies in the midstream energy industry without regard to historical cost basis or, in the case of adjusted EBITDA, financing methods
  • The ability of ETRN’s assets to generate sufficient cash flow to pay dividends to ETRN’s shareholders
  • ETRN’s ability to incur and service debt and fund capital expenditures and capital contributions
  • The viability of acquisitions and other capital expenditure projects and the returns on investment of various investment opportunities

ETRN believes that adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow, and retained free cash flow provide useful information to investors in assessing ETRN's financial condition and results of operations. Adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow, and retained free cash flow should not be considered as alternatives to net income (loss), operating income, or net cash provided by operating activities, as applicable, or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow, and retained free cash flow have important limitations as analytical tools because they exclude some, but not all, items that affect net income (loss), operating income and net cash provided by operating activities. Additionally, because these non-GAAP metrics may be defined differently by other companies in ETRN's industry, ETRN's definitions of adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow, and retained free cash flow may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing the utility of the measures. Free cash flow and retained free cash flow should not be viewed as indicative of the actual amount of cash that ETRN has available for dividends or that ETRN plans to distribute and are not intended to be liquidity measures.

ETRN is unable to provide a reconciliation of projected adjusted EBITDA from projected net income (loss), the most comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP, or a reconciliation of projected free cash flow or retained free cash flow to net cash provided by operating activities, the most comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP. ETRN has not provided a reconciliation of projected adjusted EBITDA to projected net income (loss), the most comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP, due to the inherent difficulty and impracticability of predicting certain amounts required by GAAP with a reasonable degree of accuracy. Net income (loss) includes the impact of depreciation expense, income tax expense (benefit), the impact of changes in the projected fair value of derivative instruments prior to settlement, potential changes in estimates for certain contract liabilities and unbilled revenues and certain other items that impact comparability between periods and the tax effect of such items, which may be significant and difficult to project with a reasonable degree of accuracy. Therefore, a reconciliation of projected adjusted EBITDA to projected net income (loss) is not available without unreasonable effort.

ETRN is unable to project net cash provided by operating activities because this metric includes the impact of changes in operating assets and liabilities related to the timing of cash receipts and disbursements that may not relate to the period in which the operating activities occurred. ETRN is unable to project these timing differences with any reasonable degree of accuracy to a specific day, three or more months in advance. Therefore, ETRN is unable to provide projected net cash provided by operating activities, or the related reconciliation of each of projected free cash flow and projected retained free cash flow to projected net cash provided by operating activities, without unreasonable effort. ETRN provides a range for the forecasts of net income (loss), adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow and retained free cash flow to allow for the inherent difficulty of predicting certain amounts and the variability in the timing of cash spending and receipts and the impact on the related reconciling items, many of which interplay with each other.

Water EBITDA

As used in this news release, water EBITDA means water operating income (loss) plus, as applicable, depreciation and impairment of long-lived assets of ETRN’s water services business. Water EBITDA is a non-GAAP supplemental financial measure that management and external users of ETRN’s consolidated financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies, use to assess the impact of ETRN’s water services business on ETRN’s operating performance and ETRN’s ability to incur and service debt and fund capital expenditures. Water EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to ETRN’s net income (loss), operating income or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP. Water EBITDA has important limitations as an analytical tool because the measure excludes some, but not all, items that affect net income (loss) and operating income. Additionally, because water EBITDA may be defined differently by other companies in ETRN’s industry, the definition of water EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing the utility of the measure. The table below reconciles water EBITDA from ETRN's water operating income as derived from ETRN's statements of consolidated comprehensive income to be included in ETRN's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

ETRN has not provided a reconciliation of projected water EBITDA from projected water operating income (loss), the most comparable measure calculated in accordance with GAAP. ETRN does not allocate certain costs, such as interest expense, to individual assets within its business segments. Therefore, the reconciliation of projected water EBITDA from projected water operating income (loss) is not available without unreasonable effort. ETRN provides a range for the forecast of water EBITDA to allow for the inherent difficulty of predicting certain amounts and the variability in the timing of cash spending and receipts and the impact on the related reconciling items, many of which interplay with each other.
