HOUSTON, Nov. 6, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Today Western Midstream Partners, LP (NYSE:WES) ("WES" or the "Partnership") announced third-quarter 2024 financial and operating results. Net income (loss) attributable to limited partners for the third quarter of 2024 totaled $281.8 million, or $0.74 per common unit (diluted), with third-quarter 2024 Adjusted EBITDA(1) totaling $566.9 million. Third-quarter 2024 Cash flows provided by operating activities totaled $551.3 million, and third-quarter 2024 Free cash flow(1) totaled $365.1 million.
RECENT HIGHLIGHTS
- Gathered record natural-gas and crude-oil and NGLs throughput in the Delaware Basin of 1.9 Bcf/d and 246 MBbls/d, respectively, each representing a 2-percent sequential-quarter increase.
- Gathered record natural-gas and crude-oil and NGLs throughput in the Powder River Basin of 505 MMcf/d and 26 MBbls/d, respectively, representing sequential-quarter increases of 19-percent and 4-percent, respectively.
- Achieved increased produced-water throughput in the Delaware Basin of 1,121 MBbls/d, representing a 2-percent sequential-quarter increase.
- Issued $800.0 million of 5.450% senior notes due 2034, the proceeds from which will be used to repay a portion of the Partnership's senior notes due in 2025, and for general partnership purposes.
- Maintained strong operational performance and continued flow assurance for our customers, with system operability above 98-percent, despite multiple plant turnarounds in several of our core operating basins.
- Subsequent to quarter-end, executed agreements to realign the commercial structure of the Mi Vida joint venture, which will provide WES with 100 MMcf/d of dedicated natural-gas processing capacity in the Delaware Basin beginning in mid-2025.
On November 14, 2024, WES will pay its third-quarter 2024 per-unit Base Distribution of $0.875, which is in-line with the prior quarter's Base Distribution. Third-quarter 2024 Free cash flow(1) after distributions totaled $24.3 million. Third-quarter 2024 capital expenditures(2) totaled $198.1 million.
Third-quarter 2024 natural-gas throughput(3) averaged 5.0 Bcf/d, representing a 1-percent sequential quarter increase. Third-quarter 2024 throughput for crude-oil and NGLs assets(3) averaged 506 MBbls/d, representing a 2-percent sequential-quarter decrease. Third-quarter 2024 throughput for produced-water assets(3) averaged 1,099 MBbls/d, representing a 2-percent sequential-quarter increase.
"We achieved another quarter of record natural-gas and crude-oil and NGLs throughput in the Delaware Basin and experienced continued strong throughput growth in the Powder River Basin as the Meritage Midstream acquisition continues to exceed our expectations," said Oscar Brown, President and Chief Executive Officer. "However, our profitability declined slightly quarter-over-quarter, primarily due to lower natural-gas liquids recoveries and lower commodity prices in the Delaware Basin, lower distributions from our equity investments, and higher operation and maintenance expense, which is typical in the third quarter."
Mr. Brown continued, "Looking to the fourth quarter, we estimate increased Adjusted EBITDA primarily driven by continued steady throughput growth from our core operating basins and lower operation and maintenance expense. While we still expect Adjusted EBITDA to be towards the high end of our previously announced $2.2 billion to $2.4 billion guidance range for the year, we are reducing our average year-over-year crude-oil and NGLs and produced-water throughput growth expectations."
"In August, we issued $800.0 million of new senior notes in a highly successful offering that resulted in the best 10-year credit spread in WES's history. Our trailing-twelve-month net leverage ratio has comfortably reached our year-end 2024 threshold of 3.0 times, and we will continue to look for the most efficient ways to allocate capital to generate the best returns for our unitholders. Those options continue to include organic growth opportunities to prudently expand the business, accretive M&A similar to the Meritage Midstream acquisition, and increasing the Base Distribution in-line with the growth of the business. Our strong operating model, improved balance sheet, and transparent capital-return framework, all provide WES with a solid foundation that is well positioned for future success," concluded Mr. Brown.

RECONCILIATION OF GAAP TO NON-GAAP MEASURES
WES defines Adjusted gross margin attributable to Western Midstream Partners, LP ("Adjusted gross margin") as total revenues and other (less reimbursements for electricity-related expenses recorded as revenue), less cost of product, plus distributions from equity investments, and excluding the noncontrolling interest owners' proportionate share of revenues and cost of product.
WES defines Adjusted EBITDA attributable to Western Midstream Partners, LP ("Adjusted EBITDA") as net income (loss), plus (i) distributions from equity investments, (ii) non-cash equity-based compensation expense, (iii) interest expense, (iv) income tax expense, (v) depreciation and amortization, (vi) impairments, and (vii) other expense (including lower of cost or market inventory adjustments recorded in cost of product), less (i) gain (loss) on divestiture and other, net, (ii) gain (loss) on early extinguishment of debt, (iii) income from equity investments, (iv) interest income, (v) income tax benefit, (vi) other income, and (vii) the noncontrolling interest owners' proportionate share of revenues and expenses.
WES defines Free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities less total capital expenditures and contributions to equity investments, plus distributions from equity investments in excess of cumulative earnings.
Below are reconciliations of (i) gross margin (GAAP) to Adjusted gross margin (non-GAAP), (ii) net income (loss) (GAAP) and net cash provided by operating activities (GAAP) to Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP), and (iii) net cash provided by operating activities (GAAP) to Free cash flow (non-GAAP), as required under Regulation G of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Management believes that Adjusted gross margin, Adjusted EBITDA, and Free cash flow are widely accepted financial indicators of WES's financial performance compared to other publicly traded partnerships and are useful in assessing WES's ability to incur and service debt, fund capital expenditures, and make distributions. Adjusted gross margin, Adjusted EBITDA, and Free cash flow as defined by WES, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Therefore, WES's Adjusted gross margin, Adjusted EBITDA, and Free cash flow should be considered in conjunction with net income (loss) attributable to Western Midstream Partners, LP and other applicable performance measures, such as gross margin or cash flows provided by operating activities.
