Item 2.02.  Results of Operations and Financial Condition

We issued a press release on November 3, 2010 regarding our financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2010, and will hold a webcast conference call discussing those results on November 3, 2010 at 10:00 a.m. Eastern time.  A copy of this earnings press release is furnished as Exhibit 99 to this report.
 
The webcast conference call will be available for replay on our website at www.genesisenergy.com for 30 days.  A summary of this conference call is archived on our website.
 
As provided in General Instruction B.2 to Form 8-K, the information furnished in this Item 2.02 and in Exhibit 99.1 hereto shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, except as shall be expressly provided by specific reference in such filing.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Our earnings press release includes the non-generally accepted accounting principle (“non-GAAP”) liquidity measure of Available Cash before Reserves.  The press release provides a reconciliation of this non-GAAP liquidity measure to its most directly comparable financial measure calculation, net cash flows from operating activities, as presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).  Our non-GAAP measure should not be considered as an alternative to GAAP measure such as net income, operating income or cash flow from operating activities or any other GAAP measure of liquidity or financial performance.
 
Available cash. Available Cash before Reserves is a liquidity measure used by management to compare cash flows generated by us to the cash distribution paid to our limited partners and general partner.  This is an important financial measure to the external users of financial statements, such as investors, commercial banks, research analysts and rating agencies, to assess: (1) the financial performance of our assets without regard to financing methods, capital structures, or historical cost basis; (2) the ability of our assets to generate cash sufficient to pay interest cost and support our indebtedness; (3) our operating performance and return on capital as compared to those of other companies in the midstream energy industry, without regard to financing and capital stru cture; and (4) the viability of projects and the overall rates of return on alternative investment opportunities.  Lastly, Available Cash before Reserves (also referred to as distributable cash flow) is a quantitative metric used by many in the investment community with respect to publicly-traded partnerships.  Available Cash before Reserves data presented in this press release may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies as Available Cash before Reserves excludes some, but not all items that affect net income or loss and because these measures may vary among other companies.
 
We define available cash as net income or loss as adjusted for specific items, the most significant of which are the addition of non-cash expenses (such as depreciation), the substitution of cash generated by our equity investees in lieu of our equity income attributable to such equity investees, the elimination of gains and losses on asset sales (except those from the sale of surplus assets), the elimination of expenses related to acquiring or constructing assets that provide new sources of cash flows, and unrealized gains and losses on derivative transactions, and the subtraction of maintenance capital expenditures, which are expenditures that are necessary to sustain existing (but not to provide new sources of) cash flows.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
November 3, 2010


Genesis Energy, L.P. Reports Third Quarter 2010 Results

 
HOUSTON – (BUSINESSWIRE) – Genesis Energy, L.P. (NYSE:GEL) today announced its third quarter results.  Significant events in 2010 included the following items:
 
·
For the third quarter of 2010, we generated total Available Cash before Reserves of $28.1 million.  Available Cash before Reserves for the same period in 2009 was $23.7 million.  Available Cash before Reserves is a non-GAAP measure that is defined and reconciled later in this press release to its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, net cash provided by operating activities.  Net cash provided by operating activities was $23.4 million and $36.8 million for the third quarter of 2010 and 2009, respectively.
 
·
Net income attributable to the Partnership for the third quarter of 2010 was $5.1 million, or $0.12 per common unit, as compared to net income attributable to the Partnership of $4.3 million, or $0.14 per unit, for the third quarter of 2009.  See the Calculation of Net Income per Common Unit included in the tables at the end of this press release.  Net income available for the common unitholders for the third quarter of 2010 was negatively impacted by approximately $6.4 million of non-cash charges, or approximately $0.16 per common unit.
 
·
On July 29, 2010, we acquired the remaining 51% interest in DG Marine held by a related party for $25.5 million in cash, such that DG Marine is a now wholly-owned subsidiary.  Additionally, we paid off DG Marine’s stand-alone credit facility with proceeds from our credit agreement.
 
·
On November 12, 2010, we will pay a total quarterly distribution of $18.8 million attributable to our financial and operational results for the third quarter of 2010, including $15.3 million payable to our common unitholders based on our quarterly distribution rate of $0.3875 per unit, and $3.5 million payable to our general partner, which includes its incentive distribution.  Our distribution coverage ratio -- Available Cash before Reserves divided by our total distribution attributable to the third quarter -- was approximately 1.5 times.
 
·
Our distribution attributable to the third quarter of 2010 will be our twenty-first consecutive quarter with an increase in the per unit distribution.  The quarterly distribution of $0.3875 per unit represents a 3.3% increase in the distribution paid relative to the previous quarter and a 9.9% increase over the year earlier period.
 
·
On October 22, 2010, we entered into an agreement to acquire a 50% interest in Cameron Highway for approximately $330 million in cash.  Cameron Highway, constructed in 2004, is a 380-mile 24-and 30-inch diameter pipeline, with capacity to deliver up to 500,000 barrels per day of crude oil from developments in the Gulf of Mexico to major refining markets along the Texas Gulf Coast located in Port Arthur and Texas City.
 

 
 

 

 
Grant Sims, CEO, said, “Our existing businesses had another solid quarter, with net operating margin increasing approximately 4% sequentially and over 11% from the year earlier quarter.  The increasing performance continues to be driven by steady volume growth.  Our existing oil and CO2 pipelines continue to benefit from increasing throughput.  Our refinery services division continues to benefit from improving global economic conditions.  As the world economies, particularly outside the US and Europe, are recovering from the great recession of the last few years, the demand for base metals such as copper and molybdenum has increased dramatically over the prior year.  That translated into an increase in demand for NaHS from our mining customers in North and South America.  We have also seen an increase in the rate of industrialization and urbanization in the world’s more underdeveloped economies, which has contributed to increased demand for paper products and packaging materials.  Our pulp and paper customers in North America have increased their requirements for NaHS, which they use in their processes.”
 
 “During the quarter, we also completed the acquisition of the 51% interest in DG Marine that we did not already own for $25.5 million in cash plus $44.4 million paid to the lender group at the DG Marine joint venture level.  While the results of DG Marine have previously been included in our presentation of net operating margin, this acquisition and consolidation will be additive to available cash for distribution to our unitholders starting this quarter and in future periods,” added Sims.
 
Sims continued, “Last week we announced entering into a definitive agreement to purchase a 50% interest in the Cameron Highway Oil Pipeline Company for $330 million in cash.  We believe that Cameron Highway is an attractive investment underpinned by the cash flows tied to large, dedicated anchor fields, the majority of which are not yet fully developed.  Cameron Highway has the capacity and is geographically positioned to benefit from future development in the Gulf of Mexico.  We are very excited about the opportunity to partner with Enterprise Products Partners, L.P., the operator of Cameron Highway and owner of the other 50% interest.  This is a very strategic investment for us and it further complements the integrated midstream services we provide to Gulf Coast producers and refiners.&# 8221;
 
Sims concluded, “Our employees and their commitment to always work safely, reliably and responsibly, are the real key to the Partnership’s continuing success.  We’re all very proud to have delivered the twenty-first consecutive increase in our quarterly distribution.  Together, we will continue to work creatively and tirelessly to create value for all of our stakeholders.”
 
Financial Results
 
The primary components impacting Available Cash before Reserves (a non GAAP measure) are Segment Margin, corporate general and administrative expenses (excluding non-cash charges) and maintenance capital expenditures.
 
Segment Margin
 
Segment Margin is defined below and reconciled later in this press release to income before income taxes. For the third quarters of 2010 and 2009, Segment Margin was as follows:

Three months ended September 30, 2010
  $ 11,920     $ 16,218     $ 7,740     $ 3,495     $ 39,373  
                                         
Three months ended September 30, 2009
  $ 10,269     $ 12,694     $ 9,423     $ 2,893     $ 35,279  
                                         

(1)
Segment Margin was calculated as revenues less cost of sales, operating expenses and segment general and administrative expenses, plus our share of the distributable cash generated by our equity investees.  Segment Margin excludes the non-cash effects of our equity-based compensation plans and unrealized gains and losses from derivative transactions, as well as expenses related to the acquiring or constructing of assets that provide new sources of cash flows, and includes the non-income portion of payments received under direct financing leases.  A reconciliation of Segment Margin to income before income taxes is presented in the table at the end of this release.
 

 
Pipeline transportation Segment Margin for the third quarter of 2010 increased $1.7 million as compared to the third quarter of 2009.  Increased volumes on our crude oil and CO2 pipeline systems were the primary drivers of this increase.  The effects of higher crude oil market prices on sales of pipeline loss allowance volumes also contributed to the increase.
 
Refinery services Segment Margin increased from $12.7 million in the 2009 third quarter to $16.2 million in the 2010 period.  NaHS sales volumes increased more than 26% over 2009 third quarter levels.  Improvements in world-wide macroeconomic conditions positively impacted the demand for copper and molybdenum and paper products, thereby increasing NaHS demand used in mining applications and in the pulp and paper industries.
 
Supply and logistics Segment Margin was $7.7 million in the third quarter of 2010 compared to $9.4 million in the third quarter of 2009.  Fluctuations in the effects of quality differentials on pricing of petroleum products limited the contribution to Segment Margin while the effects on pricing of quality differentials for different grades of crude oil slightly improved Segment Margin.  We were able to partially offset the decline in our Segment Margin attributable to the effects of quality differentials by increasing our volume by 50%.  Our volume increase was primarily attributable to increased opportunities to handle the heavy-end petroleum products due to increased access to transportation services (including DG Marine) and storage.  The contribution of our barge operations to Segment Margin was comparable between the quarters, however beginning in August 2010, available cash generated by DG Marine was included in Available Cash before Reserves as a result of the acquisition of the remaining 51% interest in the joint venture.
 
Segment Margin from the industrial gases segment increased $0.6 million between the quarters primarily due to an increase in volumes delivered to our customers.  Sales volumes of CO2 increased 7% between the two quarterly periods as customers increased purchases in response to improving economic conditions.  The average sales price of CO2 decreased $0.02, or 4% between the quarters.
 
Other Components of Available Cash
 
Available Cash before Reserves is also affected by income taxes to be paid in cash (which did not vary significantly from the 2009 period), interest costs, and corporate general and administrative expenses (excluding non-cash charges or credits).  Additionally, our maintenance capital expenditures, net of proceeds from sales of surplus assets, are subtracted in calculating
 
-3-
 
 
 

 

Available Cash before Reserves.  The effect of interest costs on Available Cash before Reserves was $1.8 million greater in the 2010 period due to higher debt levels.  The increase in debt is attributable primarily to the acquisition of the 51% of DG Marine we did not own and the replacement of borrowings under the DG Marine credit facility with borrowings under our credit facility.  In the third quarter of 2010, corporate general and administrative expenses (excluding non-cash items) were $0.7 million greater than in the 2009 third quarter.   This difference related primarily to an increase in personnel and other compensation related expenditures.
 
Net income available for the common unitholders for the current quarter as compared to the second quarter of 2010 was negatively impacted by $6.4 million resulting primarily from non-cash charges including (1) higher accruals of approximately of $2.0 million for equity-based compensation resulting from the increase in the market price of our common units and (2) an increase in unrealized losses on commodity derivatives used to hedge physical inventory volumes of approximately $4.4 million.  The unrealized losses on commodity derivatives should reverse in future periods as the cash margins are realized when the hedged inventory is physically sold.  These items had no impact on Available Cash before Reserves.
 
Several adjustments to net income attributable to the Partnership are required to calculate Available Cash before Reserves.  The calculation of Available Cash before Reserves for the quarters ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 is as follows:

Available Cash before Reserves
  $ 28,126     $ 23,715  
                 

Other Components of Net Income
 
In addition to the factors impacting Available Cash before Reserves, net income included the effect of several non-cash charges and credits.  Depreciation and amortization expense totaled $13.5 million for the third quarter of 2010, as compared to $15.8 in the 2009 period.  The decrease in depreciation and amortization expense between the quarterly periods results from
 
- -4-
 
 

 

lower amortization expense on intangible assets.  We amortize our intangible assets over the period during which we expect them to contribute to cash flows.  As a result, amortization of those assets declines over their lives as we expect a greater contribution in the initial years following their acquisition.
 
Unrealized losses on derivative transactions that were excluded in the computation of Available Cash before Reserves totaled $2.9 million for the 2010 quarter compared to $0.2 million in the 2009 third quarter.
 
Distributions
 
Over the last four quarters, we have increased the distribution rate on our common units by a total of $0.03 per unit, or 7.6%.  Distributions paid over the last four quarters, and the distribution to be paid for the third quarter of 2010, are as follows:

This press release and the accompanying schedules include a non-generally accepted accounting principle (“non-GAAP”) financial measures of available cash.  The accompanying schedule provides a reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure to its most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting

principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Our non-GAAP financial measure should not be considered as an alternative to GAAP measures of liquidity or financial performance.  We believe that investors benefit from having access to the same financial measures being utilized by management, lenders, analysts and other market participants.
 
Available cash.
 
Available Cash before Reserves is a liquidity measure used by management to compare cash flows generated by us to the cash distribution paid to our limited partners and general partner.  This is an important financial measure to the external users of financial statements, such as investors, commercial banks, research analysts and rating agencies, to assess: (1) the financial performance of our assets without regard to financing methods, capital structures, or historical cost basis; (2) the ability of our assets to generate cash sufficient to pay interest cost and support our indebtedness; (3) our operating performance and return on capital as compared to those of other companies in the midstream energy industry, without regard to financing and capital structure; and (4) the viability of projects and the overall rates of retu rn on alternative investment opportunities.  Lastly, Available Cash before Reserves (also referred to as distributable cash flow) is a quantitative metric used by many in the investment community with respect to publicly-traded partnerships.  Available Cash before Reserves data presented in this press release may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies as Available Cash before Reserves excludes some, but not all items that affect net income or loss and because these measures may vary among other companies.
 
We define available cash as net income or loss as adjusted for specific items, the most significant of which are the addition of non-cash expenses (such as depreciation), the substitution of cash generated by our equity investees in lieu of our equity income attributable to such equity investees, the elimination of gains and losses on asset sales (except those from the sale of surplus assets), the elimination of expenses related to acquiring or constructing assets that provide new sources of cash flows, and unrealized gains and losses on derivative transactions, and the subtraction of maintenance capital expenditures, which are expenditures that are necessary to sustain existing (but not to provide new sources of) cash flows.
