Höegh LNG Partners LP Reports Financial Results for the Quarter Ended June 30, 2016

HAMILTON, Bermuda, August 25, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Höegh LNG Partners LP (NYSE: HMLP) (the "Partnership") today reported its financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2016.

Highlights

Reported total time charter revenues of $22.8 million for the second quarter of 2016 compared to $11.1 million of time charter revenues for the second quarter of 2015

Generated operating income of $11.3 million and net income of $4.1 million for the second quarter of 2016 compared to operating income of $18.7 million and net income of $16.4 million for the second quarter of 2015; operating income and net income were impacted by unrealized losses on derivative instruments on the Partnership's share of equity in losses of joint ventures in the second quarter of 2016 compared with unrealized gains for the second quarter of 2015

Excluding the impact of the unrealized losses on derivatives for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 affecting the equity in earnings of joint ventures, operating income for the three months ended June 30, 2016 would have been $15.5 million, an increase of $6.6 million or approximately 74% from $8.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015

Generated Adjusted EBITDA¹ of $25.2 million for the second quarter of 2016 compared to $16.0 million for the second quarter of 2015

On August 15, 2016, paid a $0.4125 per unit distribution with respect to the second quarter of 2016, equivalent to $1.65 per unit on an annual basis

Richard Tyrrell, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer stated: “During the second quarter, Höegh LNG Partners generated strong cash flows that were consistent with expectations after factoring in contractual protections in the form of indemnities and warranties that offset the cost of previously disclosed maintenance to the Höegh Gallant. Our FSRUs continued to perform according to their multi-year contracts, generating stable fixed-fee revenues. Höegh LNG Partners declared a cash distribution of $0.4125 per unit for the second quarter of 2016, which is unchanged from the previous quarter and represents a 22% increase since the initial public offering. We expect to have the opportunity to acquire the Höegh Grace once it goes on contract later this year and to be in a position to increase the distribution further. As LNG production and liquefaction continue to expand at a rapid pace, we are confident that our FSRUs will remain the preferred method of connecting new markets to global LNG trade. Our dropdown pipeline of state-of-the-art, purpose-built FSRUs, combined with Höegh's leadership in the sector, position us well to continue benefitting from these long-term trends.”

Financial Results Overview

The Partnership reported net income for the three months ended June 30, 2016 of $4.1 million, a decrease of $12.4 million from net income of $16.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015. The net income for both periods was impacted by unrealized gains (losses) on derivative instruments mainly on the Partnership's share of equity in earnings (losses) of joint ventures.

Excluding all the unrealized gains (losses) on derivative instruments, net income for the three months ended June 30, 2016 would have been $7.9 million, an increase of $1.3 million or 19.7% from $6.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015. Excluding the unrealized gains (losses) on derivative instruments, the increase is primarily due to the inclusion of the results of the Höegh Gallant which is partially offset by the reduction of the interest income on the $140 million demand note cancelled as part of the acquisition price.

The PGN FSRU Lampung was on-hire for the entire second quarter of 2016. The Höegh Gallant was on reduced hire for the equivalent of approximately two days of off-hire in second quarter of 2016. Due to an issue identified in the scheduled maintenance inspections in the first quarter of 2016, additional maintenance for the Höegh Gallant occurred in the second quarter of 2016.

Equity in losses of joint ventures was $1.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016, a decrease of $13.3 million from equity in earnings of $11.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015. The joint ventures own the GDF Suez Neptune and the GDF Suez Cape Ann. The reason for the loss was an unrealized loss of $4.2 million on derivative instruments in our joint ventures for the three months ended June 30, 2016. By comparison, the equity in earnings for the three months ended June 30, 2015 was significantly impacted by an unrealized gain of $9.9 million on derivative instruments. The joint ventures do not apply hedge accounting for interest rate swaps and all changes in fair value are included in equity in earnings (losses) of joint ventures. For the three months ended June 30, 2016, the Partnership’s share of operating income in the joint ventures was $6.1 million compared to $5.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015.

Operating income for the three months ended June 30, 2016 was $11.3 million, a decrease of $7.4 million from operating income of $18.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015. Excluding the impact of the unrealized gains (losses) on derivative instruments for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 on the equity in earnings (losses) of joint ventures, operating income for the three months ended June 30, 2016 would have been $15.5 million, an increase of $6.6 million from $8.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015. The increase for the three months ended June 30, 2016 is primarily due to the inclusion of the results of the Höegh Gallant which was acquired on October 1, 2015. Operating income for the three months ended June 30, 2016 was impacted by a warranty provision of $0.3 million recorded as construction contract expenses, reduced revenues and higher vessel operating expenses from incurring liquidated damages and additional consumables related to for the maintenance of the Höegh Gallant.

Adjusted EBITDA² was $25.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016, an increase of $9.2 million from $16.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015.

Financing and Liquidity

As of June 30, 2016, the Partnership had cash and cash equivalents of $18.0 million and an undrawn sponsor credit facility of $85 million. Current restricted cash for operating obligations of the PGN FSRU Lampung was $9.9 million and long-term restricted cash required under the Lampung facility was $14.4 million as of June 30, 2016. In addition, the Partnership had long-term restricted cash of $0.2 million related to cash balances required for tax guarantees related to the Höegh Gallant as of June 30, 2016. The Partnership has reduced its exposure in Egyptian pounds which are not readily exchangeable into other currencies by repaying approximately $0.5 million of amounts due to owners and affiliates in Egyptian pounds as of June 30, 2016. As of June 30, 2016, the Partnership’s total current liabilities exceeded total current assets by $16.6 million which is partly a result of mark-to market valuations of its interest rate swaps (derivative instruments) of $5.0 million. The Partnership does not plan to terminate the interest rate swaps before their maturity and, as a result, the Partnership believes its current resources, including the sponsor credit facility, are sufficient to meet the Partnership’s working capital requirements for its current business for the next twelve months.

During the second quarter of 2016, the Partnership made quarterly repayments of $4.8 million on the Lampung facility and $3.3 million on the Gallant facility. The Partnership's outstanding principal on long-term debt was $357.2 million and the total long-term debt, net of unamortized debt issuance cost and the unamortized fair value of debt assumed, was $347.8 million as of June 30, 2016.

As of June 30, 2016, the Partnership had outstanding interest rate swap agreements for a total notional amount of $322.7 million to hedge against the interest rate risks of its long-term debt under the Lampung and Gallant facilities. The Partnership applies hedge accounting for derivative instruments related to those facilities. The Partnership receives interest based on three month US dollar LIBOR and pays a fixed rate of 2.8% for the Lampung facility. The Partnership receives interest based on three month US dollar LIBOR and pays a fixed rate of approximately 1.9% for the Gallant facility. The carrying value of the liability for derivative instruments was $18.5 million as of June 30, 2016. The effective portion of the changes in fair value of the interest rate swaps are recorded in other comprehensive income. The gain on the derivative instruments for the three months ended June 30, 2016 was $0.3 million, an increase of $0.3 million compared to the three months ended June 30, 2015. The gain on derivative instruments for the three months ended June 30, 2016 related to the interest rate swaps for the Lampung and Gallant facilities, while the loss for the three months ended June 30, 2015 related to the Lampung facility. The increase is mainly due to higher amortization of the amount excluded from hedge effectiveness related to interest rate swaps for the Gallant facility.

During August 2016, the Partnership drew $5.4 million on the $85 million sponsor credit facility.

On August 15, 2016, the Partnership paid a cash distribution of $0.4125 per unit with respect to the second quarter of 2016, equivalent to $1.65 per unit on an annualized basis. The total amount of the distribution was $11.0 million.

In the third quarter of 2016, the Partnership filed and was paid $1.8 million of claims for indemnification from Höegh LNG for the three months ended June 30, 2016 under the omnibus agreement related to the PGN FSRU Lampung and the contribution, purchase and sale agreement for the acquisition of the Höegh Gallant. The claims were with respect to $0.8 million of non-budgeted expenses (including an additional warranty provision, withholding tax and penalties for the late withholding tax filing) for the PGN FSRU Lampung and losses of $0.9 million with respect to the commencement of services under the time charter with Hoegh LNG Egypt LLC due to start up technical issues and $0.1 million with respect to other costs incurred for the Höegh Gallant.

²Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure used by investors to measure financial and operating performance. Please see Appendix A for a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA and Segment EBITDA to net income, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.

Outlook

Due to an issue identified in scheduled maintenance inspections for the Höegh Gallant during first quarter of 2016, further maintenance is expected to result in several days of reduced hire for the Höegh Gallant in the third quarter of 2016.

Pursuant to the omnibus agreement that the Partnership entered into with Höegh LNG at the time of the IPO (i) Höegh LNG is obligated to offer to the Partnership any FSRU or LNG carrier operating under a charter of five or more years and (ii) the Partnership has a right to purchase from Höegh LNG all or a portion of its interests in the Independence within 24 months after the acceptance of the vessel by her charterer, AB Klaipedos Nafta (“ABKN”) subject to reaching an agreement with Höegh LNG regarding the purchase price and other terms of the transaction and subject to the consent of ABKN.

Accordingly, the Partnership has, or may in the future have, the opportunity to acquire the FSRUs listed below:

On May 26, 2015, Höegh LNG signed a contract for a term of twenty years with Octopus LNG SpA ("Octopus") to provide an FSRU to service the Penco-Lirquen LNG import terminal to be located in Concepcion Bay, Chile. The contract is subject to Octopus completing financing and obtaining necessary environmental approvals. Höegh LNG is expected to service the contract with Hull No. 2865 which is currently being constructed by Hyundai Heavy Industries Co., Ltd. (“HHI”). The contract is expected to commence in the second quarter of 2018.

On November 1, 2014, Höegh LNG signed a contract for a minimum term of ten years with Sociedad Portaria El Cayao S.A.E.S.P (“SPEC”) to provide an FSRU (the Höegh Grace) to service a new LNG import terminal in Columbia. The Höegh Grace was delivered by the shipyard in the first quarter of 2016, and its contract is expected to commence in the fourth quarter of 2016.

On December 5, 2014, the Independence began operating under its time charter with ABKN. The Partnership and Höegh LNG continue to pursue, but have not received, ABKN’s consent to the acquisition of the Independence by the Partnership.

In addition to the FSRU under construction for Octopus, Höegh LNG has one additional FSRU (Hull No. 2552) on order which is scheduled to be delivered in mid-2017. The newbuilding has not yet been contracted.

There can be no assurance that the Partnership will acquire any vessels from Höegh LNG or of the terms upon which any such acquisition may be made.

HÖEGH LNG PARTNERS LP

UNAUDITED SEGMENT INFORMATION FOR THE QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 2016 AND 2015

(in thousands of U.S. dollars)

Segment information

There are two operating segments. The segment profit measure is Segment EBITDA, which is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and other financial items (gains and losses on derivative instruments and other items, net). Segment EBITDA is reconciled to operating income and net income in the segment presentation below. The two segments are “Majority held FSRUs” and “Joint venture FSRUs.” In addition, unallocated corporate costs that are considered to benefit the entire organization and interest income from advances to joint ventures and the demand note due from Höegh LNG (cancelled on October 1, 2015) and interest expense related to the seller’s credit note are included in “Other.”

For the three months ended June 30, 2016, Majority held FSRUs includes the direct financing lease related to the PGN FSRU Lampung and the operating lease related to the Höegh Gallant. For the three months ended June 30, 2015, Majority held FSRUs includes the direct financing lease related to the PGN FSRU Lampung.

As of June 30, 2016 and 2015, Joint venture FSRUs include two 50% owned FSRUs, the GDF Suez Neptune and the GDF Suez Cape Ann, that operate under long term time charters with one charterer, GDF Suez Global LNG Supply SA, a subsidiary of ENGIE.

The accounting policies applied to the segments are the same as those applied in the consolidated and combined carve-out financial statements, except that Joint venture FSRUs are presented under the proportional consolidation method for the segment note and under equity accounting for the consolidated and combined carve-out financial statements. Under the proportional consolidation method, 50% of the Joint venture FSRUs’ revenues, expenses and assets are reflected in the segment note. Management monitors the results of operations of joint ventures under the proportional consolidation method and not the equity method of accounting.

Appendix A: Adjusted EBITDA and Segment EBITDA

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Segment EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, depreciation and amortization and taxes. Segment EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, depreciation and amortization, taxes and other financial items. Other financial items consist of gains and losses on derivative instruments and other items, net (including foreign exchange gains and losses and withholding tax on interest expenses). Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, depreciation and amortization, taxes, other financial items, cash collections on direct financing lease investments, amortization in revenues for above market contracts and amortization of deferred revenues for the joint ventures. Cash collections on direct financing lease investments consist of the difference between the payments under the time charter and the revenues recognized as a financing lease (representing the repayment of the principal recorded as a receivable). Amortization in revenues for above market contracts consist of the non-cash amortization of the intangible for the above market time charter contract related to the acquisition of Höegh Gallant. Amortization of deferred revenues for the joint ventures accounted for under the equity method consist of non-cash amortization to revenues of charterer payments for modifications and drydocking to the vessels. Segment EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are used as supplemental financial measures by management and external users of financial statements, such as the Partnership's lenders, to assess its financial and operating performance. The Partnership believes that Segment EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA assist its management and investors by increasing the comparability of its performance from period to period and against the performance of other companies in the industry that provide Segment EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA information. This increased comparability is achieved by excluding the potentially disparate effects between periods or companies of interest, other financial items, depreciation and amortization and taxes, which items are affected by various and possibly changing financing methods, capital structure and historical cost basis and which items may significantly affect net income between periods. The Partnership believes that including Segment EBITDA as a financial and operating measure benefits investors in (a) selecting between investing in it and other investment alternatives and (b) monitoring its ongoing financial and operational strength in assessing whether to continue to hold common units. The Partnership believes Adjusted EBITDA benefits investors in comparing its results to other investment alternatives that account for time charters as operating leases rather than financial leases. Segment EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered alternatives to net income, operating income or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Segment EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA exclude some, but not all, items that affect net income, and these measures may vary among other companies. Therefore, Segment EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as presented below may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. The following tables reconcile Segment EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for each of the segments and the Partnership as a whole (combined carve-out reporting) to net income (loss), the comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure, for the periods presented:

Other financial items consist of gains and losses on derivative instruments and other items, net including foreign exchange gains or losses and withholding tax on interest expense.

Appendix B: Distributable Cash Flow

Distributable cash flow represents Segment EBITDA adjusted for cash collections on principal payments on the direct financing lease, amortization in revenues for above market contracts, amortization of deferred revenues for the joint ventures, interest income‎, interest expense less amortization of debt issuance cost and fair value of debt assumed, other items (net), unrealized foreign exchange losses (gains), current income tax expense, and other adjustments including indemnification paid by Hoegh LNG related to earnings and estimated maintenance and replacement capital expenditures. Estimated maintenance and replacement capital expenditures, including estimated expenditures for drydocking, represent capital expenditures required to maintain over the long-term the operating capacity of, or the revenue generated by, the Partnership's capital assets.

Distributable cash flow is presented starting with Total Segment reporting using the proportional consolidation method for the Partnership's 50% interests in the joint ventures as shown in Appendix A. Therefore, the adjustments to Segment EBITDA include the Partnership's share of the joint venture's adjustments. The Partnership believes distributable cash flow is an important measure of operating performance used by management and investors in publicly traded partnerships to compare cash generating performance of the Partnership from period to period and to compare the cash generating performance for specific periods to the cash distributions (if any) that are expected to be paid to our unitholders. Distributable cash flow will not reflect changes in working capital balances. Distributable cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, or any other indicator of the Partnership's performance calculated in accordance with GAAP. Distributable cash flow excludes some, but not all, items that affect net income and the measures may vary among companies. Therefore, distributable cash flow may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Distributable cash flow is not the same measure as available cash or operating surplus, both of which are defined by the Partnership's partnership agreement. The table below reconciles distributable cash flow to Segment EBITDA, which is reconciled to net income, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, in Appendix A. Refer to Appendix A for the definition of Segment EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA.
