REPORTS SECOND QUARTER RESULTS August 11, 2003 - Genesis Energy, L.P. (AMEX:GEL) announced today that its net income for the second quarter of 2003 was $1,890,000, or $0.21 per unit, compared to net income of $2,106,000, or $0.24 per unit, for the second quarter of 2002. Income for the six months ended June 30, 2003, was $2,769,000, or $0.31 per unit. For the six months ended June 30, 2002, net income was $3,420,000, or $0.39 per unit. Minority interests had no effect on the results for the quarterly or six months periods. Highlights of the Second Quarter Genesis made a regular quarterly distribution of $0.05 per common unit for the first quarter of 2003 on May 15, 2003 and will make a distribution for the second quarter of $0.05 per common unit on August 14, 2003, to unitholders of record on July 31, 2003. Genesis currently expects that it will be able to sustain this level of distribution and looks forward to growing distributions as soon as it is reasonable to do so. Net cash flow provided by operating activities was $193,000 for the second quarter of 2003. Genesis generated Available Cash before reserves (a non-GAAP measure) during the second quarter of $1,963,000. This was more than enough to provide for the aggregate regular quarterly distribution of $440,000, and to allow Genesis to increase its liquidity to support future growth of the business and future regular quarterly distributions. (Please see the accompanying schedules for a reconciliation of Available Cash, a non-GAAP measure, to net cash flow provided by operations, the GAAP measure.) Gross margin (excluding depreciation) from gathering and marketing operations was $4.2 million for the second quarter of 2003, as compared to $3.6 million in the prior year. This increase in gross margin (excluding depreciation) between the two periods resulted from a $2.3 million price variance, largely offset by a negative variance of $1.7 million due to a 22 % decrease in wellhead, bulk and exchange purchase volumes in the 2003 period. Credit costs and field costs were flat between the two quarterly periods. Pipeline gross margin (excluding depreciation) was $1.7 million for the second quarter of 2003, as compared to $2.6 million for the second quarter of 2002. The factors decreasing pipeline gross margin (excluding depreciation) were $1.5 million higher pipeline operating costs related to regulatory and spill prevention requirements, higher insurance costs and increased operating and maintenance costs, and a $0.2 million decrease in revenue due to a decline in throughput of 5 percent between the two periods. Offsetting these factors were a $0.4 million increase in revenues from sales of pipeline loss allowance barrels primarily as a result of higher crude prices, and a $0.4 million increase in revenues due to an increase of 10 percent in the average tariff on shipments. 1 General and administrative expenses increased $0.2 million during the three months ended June 30, 2003 as compared to the same period in 2002, principally due to small increases in audit and consultant fees, directors' fees and increased premiums for officers and directors liability insurance. An accrual for bonuses under the Partnership's bonus program in 2003 was offset by reductions in personnel and benefits costs. Interest costs were $0.1 million less in the 2003 quarter primarily due to lower commitment fees as a result of a reduction in the size of the Partnership's credit facility between the two periods. Outlook The Partnership's gathering and marketing business is expected to perform well during the remainder of 2003, although perhaps not as well as during the first six months of 2003. The first half of 2003 was positively impacted by higher than usual market prices and by the reduction by the Partnership of its inventory volumes during the period of these higher market prices. Both volumes and margins are expected to be somewhat lower during the remainder of 2003 as this business is likely to be subject to market volatility. Genesis expects pipeline gross margin excluding depreciation for the second half of 2003 to be generally consistent with that in the first half of the year. Genesis currently expects that it will be able to sustain regular quarterly distributions for 2003 and 2004 of at least $0.05 per unit for each quarter. Based on current conditions, the Partnership does not expect to restore the regular distribution to the targeted minimum distribution amount of $0.20 per quarter for the next year or two. However, if actual results exceed the Partnership's expectations for improving the performance of the business, or if it is able to complete a CO2 asset acquisition from Denbury, or if its capital projects cost less than currently estimated, or if its access to capital allows Genesis to make accretive acquisitions, the Partnership may be able to increase its regular quarterly distributions or restore the targeted minimum quarterly distribution sooner. Other Matters Several adjustments to net income are required to calculate Available Cash. The calculation of Available Cash before reserves for the quarter ended June 30, 2003 is as follows: Net income $ 1,890,000 Depreciation and amortization expense 1,369,000 Maintenance capital expenditures (1,296,000) -------------- Available Cash before reserves $ 1,963,000 ============== Available Cash (a non-GAAP liquidity measure) has been reconciled to cash flow from operating activities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 in the financial tables below.
