What Awaits NGL Energy Partners (NGL) This Earnings Season?
Read MoreHide Full Article
NGL Energy Partners LP (NGL - Free Report) is set to release fiscal first-quarter 2021 results after the closing bell on Monday, Aug 10. The current Zacks Consensus Estimate for the to-be-reported quarter is a loss of 4 cents per unit on revenues of $1.2 billion.
Let’s delve into the factors that might have influenced the diversified energy master limited partnership’s performance in the June quarter. But it’s worth taking a look at NGL Energy Partners’ previous-quarter performance first.
Highlights of Fiscal Q4 Earnings & Surprise History
In the last-reported quarter, the Tulsa, OK-based midstream operator missed the consensus mark due to weakness in the Crude Oil Logistics and Water Solutions units. NGL Energy Partners reported adjusted income per unit of 2 cents, falling short of the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 11 cents. Moreover, the partnership’s quarterly revenues of $1.7 billion came below the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.9 billion.
As far as earnings surprises are concerned, NGL Energy Partners beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate in two of the last four quarters and missed in the other two, delivering a negative earnings surprise of 266.37%, on average. This is depicted in the graph below:
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for fiscal first-quarter bottom line remained the same in the last seven days. However, the estimated figure indicates a 95.8% improvement year over year. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues, meanwhile, is $1.2 billion, suggesting an 81.6% decline year over year.
Factors to Consider This Quarter
While pipeline entities like NGL Energy Partners have a lower correlation to oil and gas prices compared to its peers, this energy sub-industry hasn’t been immune to the coronavirus-induced downturn. With E&P operators pulling back activities and curtailing production in response to sharply lower commodity pricing and demand, Oasis Midstream faces a potential decline in volumes through its facilities, contributing to expectations for lower profits. The partnership’s significant volume exposure to Extraction Oil & Gas — an E&P producer that has filed for bankruptcy — is likely to have impacted revenues and cash flows from the Grand Mesa pipeline.
However, as a counter to these negatives, NGL Energy Partners has also done a fairly admirable job at reducing costs. Its cash outflows as capital expenditure continue to fall as it reins in spending levels. Apart from significant capital cuts, the partnership should realize sizeable savings from headcount reduction and automation. All this is expected to have pushed NGL Energy Partners’ fiscal first-quarter earnings and cash flows higher.
What Does Our Model Say?
The proven Zacks model does not conclusively show that NGL Energy Partners is likely to beat estimates in the fiscal first quarter. The combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) increases the chances of beating estimates. But that’s not the case here.

Biggest Tech Breakthrough in a Generation
Be among the early investors in the new type of device that experts say could impact society as much as the discovery of electricity. Current technology will soon be outdated and replaced by these new devices. In the process, it’s expected to create 22 million jobs and generate $12.3 trillion in activity.
A select few stocks could skyrocket the most as rollout accelerates for this new tech. Early investors could see gains similar to buying Microsoft in the 1990s. Zacks’ just-released special report reveals 8 stocks to watch. The report is only available for a limited time.
