Spectra Energy Reports First Quarter 2014 Results

$1 Billion Ongoing EBITDA - More Than 20 Percent Increase over First Quarter 2013;

Distributable Cash Flow Up More Than 25 Percent

Significant EBITDA increase quarter-on-quarter from:

 

  Expansion projects and 2013 acquisitions

 

  Higher demand for fee-based services

 

  Increased throughput and strong operational reliability

 

  Stronger commodity prices

Spectra Energy Corp (NYSE: SE) today reported 2014 net income from controlling interests and ongoing net income of $419 million, or $0.62 diluted EPS, compared with $340 million, or $0.51 diluted EPS in 2013.

For the quarter, reported and ongoing earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) was $1.01 billion, compared with $831 million in the prior-year quarter. Distributable cash flow for first quarter 2014 was $631 million, compared with $503 million in the prior-year quarter.

“Our results both financially and operationally exceeded our expectations in the first quarter 2014. New assets in our portfolio, increased winter demand on our system and higher commodity prices all helped to deliver an excellent quarter, and importantly, a strong start to the full year,” said Greg Ebel, chief executive officer, Spectra Energy.

“This past winter was a real test for our system, and we reliably met our customer demands throughout the season. The high utilization rates of our pipeline and storage facilities further demonstrate the value of our assets and underscore the need for continued growth of our footprint - all of which directly translates into significant value for our customers and investors,” Ebel added.

BUSINESS UPDATES

Spectra Energy’s U.S. Transmission and Liquids businesses, which make up the Spectra Energy Partners reporting segment, had a strong quarter. The natural gas pipelines in this segment performed extremely well this past winter, experiencing the highest total delivered quantity of natural gas ever on its Algonquin, Texas Eastern and East Tennessee systems. On Texas Eastern, 24 new peak days were recorded due in large part to the New Jersey-New York Expansion, which was put into service on November 1, 2013.

The company’s footprint is strategically located to benefit from the changing market dynamics driven by the unprecedented shale gas developments and significant demand growth in the Gulf Coast and Southeast U.S. The Texas Eastern system moved gas both north and south during high customer demand periods this winter, and several projects are underway to enable Texas Eastern to flow up to 2 billion cubic feet a day (bcf/day) of gas bi-directionally by 2017.

TEAM 2014 and TEAM South will be the first Texas Eastern projects with a firm path for Marcellus supply to move south, and Spectra Energy will complete work on six compressor stations that will allow the system to deliver additional gas south while retaining full capacity to northeast markets. By 2015, expansion projects such as OPEN will bring incremental supplies to the south and Uniontown to Gas City will bring supplies to the west. Finally, the two-phased Gulf Markets expansion will provide natural gas to southern markets by mid-2016 and mid-2017.

The company continues to have an impressive backlog of projects and opportunities that ensure continued growth and long-term shareholder value creation. Spectra Energy has identified $35 billion of expansion capital opportunities to serve its customers in North America between 2013 and the end of the decade.

Spectra Energy is making solid progress on the Sabal Trail pipeline into Florida, which will serve Florida Power and Light’s growing need for access to natural gas to fuel new power-generation facilities. The Algonquin Incremental Market project, or AIM, is 100 percent subscribed by virtually all the major local distribution companies in New England. The company submitted its FERC filing for AIM in February and expects to receive its certificate in the first quarter of 2015.

NEXUS, which will bring supply diversity to Eastern Canada by delivering Utica and Marcellus gas, is advancing and is expected to be anchored by commitments from Eastern Canadian and Midwest LDCs for about half the capacity, with the remainder to be subscribed by Appalachian producers. Since the beginning of the year, Spectra Energy also has advanced the Atlantic Bridge project, announced earlier this year, conducting an open season and receiving strong interest.

The company’s liquids business continues to perform well with the increase in Express-Platte contracted volumes. Further, contracts on Sand Hills and Southern Hills continue to ramp up in line with expectations.

Spectra Energy also is pursuing a number of projects to grow its crude oil business through the end of the decade. The Inland California Express project, in development with Questar Corporation, includes a new rail terminal in Southern California and reactivation of an existing pipeline into the Los Angeles/Long Beach refining complex. Additionally, the company is also advancing business development efforts in Western Canada as well as expansion plans on the Express-Platte line.

Along with these projects, which are in various phases of execution and advanced development, the company also is evaluating longer-term opportunities related to Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) in the Gulf and the need for more pipeline infrastructure to serve electric generators and industrial demand. DCP Midstream also has $2 billion of expansions underway.

At Union Gas, the company is executing on the Dawn-Parkway expansion, having received approval from the Ontario Energy Board (OEB) in January. The first phase of the project is expected to be placed in service in the fourth quarter of 2015. Union Gas also received strong responses to the project’s 2016 open season and anticipates filing a facilities application for this second phase of the project with the OEB this summer.

In Western Canada, Spectra Energy expects to place the North Montney project in service later this month. The company is advancing in the regulatory approval process, as expected, on the Westcoast Connector project. On May 6, our submission of an Environmental Assessment Certificate Application was formally accepted for review by the B.C. Environmental Assessment Office. This milestone begins an extensive 180-day review process, which includes a 45-day public comment period beginning May 14.

SEGMENT RESULTS

Spectra Energy Partners

Spectra Energy Partners reported first quarter 2014 EBITDA of $429 million, compared with $347 million in first quarter 2013.

Quarterly EBITDA results reflect increased earnings from the acquisition of the Express-Platte pipeline system in March 2013, and expansions primarily on Texas Eastern, including the NJ-NY Project. Additionally, higher natural gas transportation revenues due to record winter demand contributed to the increase in earnings.

Distribution

Distribution reported first quarter 2014 EBITDA of $226 million, compared with $220 million in first quarter 2013. The increase was mainly due to higher customer usage as a result of record cold winter weather and a favorable decision from the Ontario Energy Board regarding the treatment of certain past revenues realized from the optimization of upstream transportation contracts as utility earnings. These increases were partially offset by the effect of a weaker Canadian dollar, higher operating fuel costs, and earnings sharing under the incentive rate framework.

Western Canada Transmission & Processing

Western Canada Transmission & Processing reported first quarter 2014 EBITDA of $237 million, compared with $190 million in first quarter 2013. The increase over last year’s quarter was due primarily to higher earnings attributable to stronger propane prices at the Empress natural gas liquids (NGL) business, which were partially offset by the effect of a weaker Canadian dollar.

Field Services

Field Services reported first quarter 2014 EBITDA of $130 million, compared with $88 million in first quarter 2013. The increase in EBITDA was mainly driven by higher commodity prices, higher volumes and margins as a result of expansions, and favorable results from gas and NGL marketing in first quarter 2014. These increases were partially offset by higher interest expense, depreciation expense, and operating costs in first quarter 2014, all associated with asset growth.

 

Page | 4


During the first quarters of 2014 and 2013, respectively, DCP’s realized NGL prices averaged $1.06 per gallon versus $0.89 per gallon, NYMEX natural gas averaged $4.94 per million British thermal units (MMBtu) versus $3.34 per MMBtu, and crude oil averaged approximately $99 per barrel versus $95 per barrel.

DCP Midstream paid distributions of $59 million to Spectra Energy in first quarter 2014, with year-to-date distributions through April of $136 million.

Other

Ongoing net costs were $17 million, compared with $14 million in first quarter 2013.

Other is primarily comprised of corporate costs, including benefits and captive insurance.

Interest Expense

Interest expense was $178 million for first quarter 2014 compared with $149 million for first quarter 2013. The increase was driven by higher debt balances, primarily related to the acquisition of Express-Platte, and lower capitalized interest, partially offset by a weaker Canadian dollar.

Income Taxes

First quarter 2014 income tax expense from continuing operations was $164 million, compared with $130 million reported in the first quarter of 2013. The higher tax expense was driven by higher earnings. The effective tax rate was 26 percent in both the first quarter 2014 and the first quarter 2013.

Capitalization and Liquidity

Total debt outstanding at Spectra Energy at March 31, 2014 was $14.4 billion, with investment grade ratings. At the end of the quarter, there was $1.8 billion of available liquidity at Spectra Energy Partners and $1.1 billion of available liquidity at all other Spectra Energy subsidiaries. Spectra Energy has $1.3 billion of capital expansion spending planned in 2014, of which $0.9 billion will be at Spectra Energy Partners.

Total capital spending in the first quarter of 2014 was $392 million, excluding reimbursements from noncontrolling interests, comprised of approximately $308 million of growth capital expenditures, and $84 million of maintenance capital expenditures.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We use ongoing net income from controlling interests and ongoing diluted EPS as measures to evaluate operations of the company. These measures are non-GAAP financial measures as they represent net income from controlling interests and diluted EPS, adjusted for special items. Special items represent certain charges and credits which we believe will not be recurring on a regular basis. We believe that the presentation of ongoing net income and ongoing diluted EPS provide useful information to investors, as it allows them to more accurately compare our ongoing performance across periods. The most directly comparable GAAP measures for ongoing net income from controlling interests and ongoing diluted EPS are net income from controlling interests and diluted EPS.

 

Page | 6


The primary performance measure used by us to evaluate segment performance is segment earnings from continuing operations before interest, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization (EBITDA). We consider segment EBITDA, which is the GAAP measure used to report segment results, to be a good indicator of each segment’s operating performance from its continuing operations as it represents the results of our segments’ operations before depreciation and amortization without regard to financing methods or capital structures. Our segment EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies because other companies may not calculate EBITDA in the same manner.

We also use ongoing segment EBITDA and Other EBITDA (net costs) as measures of performance. Ongoing segment and Other EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures as they represent reported segment and Other EBITDA adjusted for special items. We believe that the presentation of ongoing segment and Other EBITDA provides useful information to investors, as they allow investors to more accurately compare a segment’s or Other’s ongoing performance across periods. The most directly comparable GAAP measures for ongoing segment or Other EBITDA are reported segment or Other EBITDA.

We have also presented Distributable Cash Flow, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. We believe that the presentation of Distributable Cash Flow provides useful information to investors as it represents the cash generation capabilities of the company to support dividend growth. The most directly comparable GAAP measure for Distributable Cash Flow is net income.

The non-GAAP financial measures presented in this press release should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies because other companies may not calculate these measures in the same manner.
