Enterprise Products Partners (EPD) Q3 Earnings in Line
Read MoreHide Full Article
Enterprise Products Partners L.P.’s (EPD - Free Report) third-quarter 2016 adjusted earnings per limited partner unit of 30 cents came in line with the Zacks Consensus Estimate.
However, the bottom line deteriorated from the year-ago quarterly earnings of 34 cents. Lower commodity sale prices hampered results.
Quarterly distribution at Enterprise Products increased 5.2% year over year to 40.5 cents per common unit, or $1.62 per unit on an annualized basis. Adjusted distributable cash flow of $978 million provided coverage of 1.15x. The partnership retained $124 million in cash flow, thereby reducing its financing needs.
Revenues in the quarter plunged to $5,920.4 million from $6,307.9 million in the year-ago quarter.
Third-Quarter Segmental Performance
Gross operating income in the NGL Pipeline & Services segment increased to $704 million from $696 million in the year-ago quarter.

Gross operating income from the Onshore Crude Oil Pipelines & Services segment was $254 million as against $255 million in the year-ago quarter.
Petrochemical & Refined Product Services segment reported gross operating income of $172 million compared with the year-earlier level of $192 million.
The Offshore Pipelines & Services segment had no contribution to gross operating income as the partnership closed the sale of its offshore Gulf of Mexico business on Jul 24, 2015. In the prior-year quarter it recorded a gross operating margin of $7 million.
During the quarter, the partnership spent $621 million. Outstanding total debt principal as of Sep 30, 2016 was $24.2 billion. Enterprise had consolidated liquidity of $3.5 billion, which comprised unrestricted cash on hand and available borrowing capacity.
