Energy Transfer (ET) to Post Q1 Earnings: What's in the Offing?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Energy Transfer LP (ET - Free Report) is scheduled to release first-quarter 2022 results on May 4, after the market closes. In the last reported quarter, this oil and gas midstream firm delivered a surprise of 11.5%.
Let’s discuss the factors that are likely to get reflected in the upcoming quarterly results.
Factors to Note
Energy Transfer’s pipelines are spread across every major production basin. Commissioning of the Permian Bridge Project and the addition of a 3-million barrel high-rate storage well at the Mont Belvieu plant in fourth-quarter 2021 are likely to have boosted ET’s first-quarter earnings.
Energy Transfer’s first-quarter earnings are likely to have benefited from the closure of the previously announced acquisition of Enable Midstream on Dec 2, 2021. Fee-based contracts of the firm are also likely to have boosted first-quarter earnings. The reduction of $6.3-billion outstanding debt in 2021 is likely to have reduced its capital servicing costs in the first quarter and boosted earnings.
Expectation
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for first-quarter earnings and revenues is pegged at 25 cents per unit and $21.29 billion, respectively. The revenue estimate indicates an increase of 25.3% from the year-ago reported figure, while the earnings per unit estimate suggests a 78% decline from the year-ago figure.
