TC PipeLines, LP (NYSE: TCP) (the Partnership) today reported net income attributable to controlling interests of $88 million and distributable cash flow of $88 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020.

“We are living in a world of unprecedented events with the COVID-19 pandemic front and center coupled with significant recent challenges in the energy space,” said Nathan Brown, president of TC PipeLines, GP, Inc. “The events of the last two months have underscored the importance of resilience and stability and we believe the credit strength of our customer group, fundamental market strength of our assets’ locations, and the substantial utility demand-pull nature of our long-term, take-or-pay contracted capacity set the Partnership apart and will help us to maintain the momentum we have built across our geographic footprint. Our businesses provide critical energy delivery 24/7 to ensure the most important functions of our country can run uninterrupted, even in the most challenging times. We implemented business continuity plans across our operations and continue to deliver our services with employee health and safety as paramount values. That is never more important as we, through TC Energy Corporation, operate our assets with a coordinated approach to maintain our critical operations, maintenance and growth projects. 

“Our assets performed well in the first quarter of 2020 and generated solid operational results,” continued Brown. “We experienced uninterrupted demand for our services, although this year’s moderate winter impeded our ability to sell short-term services compared to the same period last year.

“In these unprecedented times, TC PipeLines is focused on maintaining the current distribution level and self-funding operating and growth activities. Accordingly, we see substantial value for our investors moving forward in the near term with an enviable suite of opportunities for growth in the long term,” concluded Brown.

Recent business developments:

Current outlook including the uncertainty surrounding COVID-19 pandemic and global crude oil market:

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the novel coronavirus, or COVID-19, a global pandemic. Additionally, amid the COVID-19 crisis, the global oil market experienced a precipitous decline in the price for crude oil due to an oversupply of oil in the first quarter of 2020. 

As primary operator of our pipelines, TC Energy Corporation’s (TC Energy) business continuity plans were put in place across the organization and TC Energy continues to effectively operate our assets, conduct commercial activities and execute on projects with a focus on health, safety and reliability. At the current time, our business is broadly considered an essential or critical business in the United States given the important role our infrastructure plays in delivering energy to North American markets. We anticipate that changes to work practices and other restrictions put in place by government and health authorities in response to the COVID-19 pandemic will have an impact on certain projects. We generally believe this will not be material to our operations, but the long-term impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and associated effects is uncertain at this time.

Our pipeline assets are largely backed by long-term, take-or-pay contracts resulting in revenues that are materially insulated from short-term volatility associated with volume throughput and commodity prices. More importantly, a significant portion of our long-term contract revenue is with investment-grade customers and we have not experienced any collection issues on our receivables to date. Aside from the impact of maintenance activities and normal seasonal factors, to date we have not seen any pronounced changes in the utilization of our assets. While it is too early to ascertain any long-term impact that the COVID-19 pandemic or the oil price decline may have on our capital growth program, we note that we could experience a delay in construction and other related activities.

Capital market conditions in 2020 have been significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and the oil price decline resulting in periods of heightened volatility and reduced liquidity. Despite this, our liquidity remains strong underpinned by stable cashflow from operations, cash on hand and full access to our $500 million senior revolving credit facility. Additionally, we expect to refinance GTN's $100 million Senior Notes due in June 2020 and Tuscarora's $23 million Unsecured Term Loan due in August 2020 together with additional funding to be used to finance a portion of GTN XPress and Tuscarora XPress. We continue to conservatively manage our financial position, self-fund our ongoing capital expenditures and maintain our debt at prudent levels, and we believe we are well positioned to fund our obligations through a prolonged period of disruption, should it occur. Based on current expectations, we believe our business will continue to deliver consistent financial performance going forward and support our current quarterly distribution level of $0.65 per common unit.

Organic growth projects:

PNGTS’ Portland XPress Project (PXP) - Phases I and II of this project are in service, and on March 5, 2020, FERC granted PNGTS’ request to begin construction of Phase III of the project. Construction activities are expected to ramp up during the second quarter and PXP is currently on track to be fully in service on November 1, 2020. Once fully in service, all three phases of PXP in aggregate are expected to generate approximately $50 million of annual revenue for PNGTS.

ANR's Alberta XPress project - On February 12, 2020, TC Energy approved the Alberta XPress project, an expansion project on its ANR Pipeline system with an estimated in-service date of 2022. This project utilizes existing capacity on our Great Lakes and TC Energy’s Canadian Mainline systems to connect growing natural gas supply from the WCSB to U.S. Gulf Coast LNG export markets. As a result, an ANR contract on the Great Lakes system totaling approximately 168,000 Dth/day of capacity will be converted to a new 20-year commitment at maximum rates for a total contract value of $182 million starting in 2022. This contract, which has a full quantity reduction option at any time before October 1, 2022, is dependent on ANR being able to secure the required regulatory approvals and other requirements of the project.

Cash distributions:

On April 21, 2020, the board of directors of our General Partner declared the Partnership’s first quarter 2020 cash distribution in the amount of $0.65 per common unit payable on May 12, 2020 to unitholders of record as of May 1, 2020. The declared distribution to our General Partner was $1 million for its two percent general partner interest.

Results of operations

The Partnership’s net income attributable to controlling interests decreased by $5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to the same period in 2019, mainly due to the following:

Transmission revenues - The $12 million decrease in transmission revenues was largely the result of the following:

  • lower revenue on GTN due to (i) its scheduled 6.6 percent rate decrease effective January 1, 2020, (ii) lower discretionary services sold due to moderate weather conditions in early 2020 compared to colder weather experienced in early 2019, and (iii) additional sales in 2019 related to regional supply constraints from a force majeure event experienced by a neighboring pipeline that were not repeated in 2020;
  • lower revenue on Tuscarora due to its scheduled 10.8 percent rate decrease effective August 1, 2019;
  • lower revenue from discretionary services sold by PNGTS in 2020 compared to 2019 due to more moderate weather conditions in early 2020, partially offset by new revenues from Westbrook XPress which went into service on November 1, 2019;
  • lower volume of discretionary services sold by North Baja; and
  • lower revenue on Bison as a result of the expiration of one of its legacy contracts at the end of January 2019.

Operating expenses - The $ 2 million decrease in operation and maintenance expenses was primarily due to an overall net decrease in property taxes on Bison and PNGTS and an overall decrease in allocated employee costs.

Financial charges and other - The $3 million decrease was primarily attributable to the $68 million reduction in our overall debt balance when compared to our debt balance at March 31, 2019. The reduction was the result of (a) a $50 million prepayment on our 2013 $500 million term loan facility during the second quarter of 2019; (b) a $35 million repayment of GTN's outstanding balance under its unsecured term loan facility during the second quarter of 2019; and (c) a $1 million scheduled payment on Tuscarora's unsecured term loan facility during the third quarter of 2019; offset by (d) $18 million of additional borrowings under PNGTS' revolving credit facility.

Net income attributable to non-controlling interests - The $1 million decrease in the Partnership's net income attributable to non-controlling interests was due to the decrease in PNGTS' net income primarily as a result of its lower revenue, partially offset by lower property taxes.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures - Our EBITDA was lower for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to the same period in 2019. The $8 million decrease was primarily due to lower revenue from our consolidated subsidiaries as discussed above.

Our Adjusted EBITDA was lower for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to the same period in 2019. The $14 million decrease was primarily due to:

  • lower revenue from consolidated subsidiaries as discussed above; and
  • lower distribution from Iroquois as it satisfied its final surplus cash distribution of approximately $2.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2019.

Our distributable cash flow decreased by $28 million in the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to the same period in 2019 due to the net effect of:

  • lower Adjusted EBITDA;
  • higher maintenance capital expenditures at GTN as a result of increased spending on major equipment overhauls at several compressor stations and certain system upgrades; and
  • lower interest expense due to lower average debt balance during the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to the same period in 2019.

Cash flow analysis

Operating cash flows

In the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Partnership's net cash provided by operating activities decreased by $4 million compared to the same period in 2019 primarily due to the net effect of:

  • lower net cash flow from operations of our consolidated subsidiaries primarily due to the decrease in their revenue;
  • the timing of receipt of Iroquois' third quarter 2019 distributions from its operating activities, which we would ordinarily have received during the fourth quarter of 2019 but was not received until early in the first quarter of 2020; and
  • the impact from amount and timing of operating working capital changes.

Investing cash flows

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the cash used in our investing activities was higher by $7 million compared to the same period in 2019 primarily due to the net effect of:

  •  the timing of receipt of Iroquois' third quarter 2019 distributions amounting to approximately $2.6 million, a portion of which was considered a return of investment, which we would ordinarily have received during the fourth quarter of 2019 but was not received until early in the first quarter of 2020; and
  • the higher capital maintenance expenditures on GTN for its overhaul projects together with continued capital spending on our GTN XPress, PXP and Westbrook XPress projects.

Financing cash flows

The Partnership's net cash used for financing activities was approximately $43 million lower in the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to the same period in 2019 primarily due to the net effect of:

  • additional borrowings on PNGTS’ revolving credit facility of $6 million in 2020 to fund its PXP and Westbrook XPress projects compared to a net debt repayment of $42 million in 2019; and
  • $5 million decrease in distributions paid to Class B units in 2020 as compared to 2019.

Overall current financial condition:

At March 31, 2020, the balance of our cash and cash equivalents of $134 million was higher than our position at December 31, 2019 by approximately $51 million and our overall long-term debt balance increased by approximately $7 million as a result of the financing required during the period on PNGTS' PXP and Westbrook XPress projects.

We continue to be financially disciplined by using our available cash to fund ongoing capital expenditures and maintaining debt at prudent levels and we believe we are well positioned to fund our obligations through a prolonged period of disruption, should it occur.

We believe our (1) cash on hand, (2) operating cash flows, (3) $500 million available borrowing capacity on our senior revolving credit facility at May 6, 2020, and (4) if needed, and subject to customary lender's approval upon request, an additional $500 million capacity that is available under our senior revolving credit facility accordion feature, are sufficient to fund our short-term liquidity requirements, including distributions to our unitholders, ongoing capital expenditures, required debt repayments and other financing needs such as capital contribution requests from our equity investments.

Non-GAAP financial measures

The following non-GAAP financial measures are presented as a supplement to our financial statements:

  • EBITDA; 
  • Adjusted EBITDA;
  • Total distributable cash flow; and
  • Distributable cash flow

EBITDA is an approximate measure of our operating cash flow during the current earnings period and reconciles directly to the most comparable measure of net income, which includes net income attributable to non-controlling interests and earnings from our equity investments. It measures our earnings before deducting interest, depreciation and amortization and taxes.

Adjusted EBITDA is our EBITDA, less (1) earnings from our equity investments, plus (2) distributions from our equity investments, and plus or minus (3) certain non-recurring items (if any) that are significant but not reflective of our underlying operations. Beginning the three months ended March 31, 2020, we are providing Adjusted EBITDA as an additional performance measure of the current operating profitability of our assets.

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Partnership revised its calculation of Adjusted EBITDA to include distributions from our equity investments, net of equity earnings from our investments as described above, which were previously excluded from such measure. The presentation of Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was recast to conform with the current presentation. The Partnership believes the revised presentation more closely aligns with similar non-GAAP measures presented by our peers and with the Partnership’s definitions of such measures.

Total distributable cash flow and distributable cash flow provide measures of distributable cash generated during the current earnings period and reconcile directly to the net income amounts presented.

Total distributable cash flow includes Adjusted EBITDA less:

  • Allowance for funds used during construction (AFUDC);
  • Interest expense;
  • Current Income taxes;
  • Distributions to non-controlling interests; and
  • Maintenance capital expenditures from consolidated subsidiaries.

Distributable cash flow is computed net of distributions declared to the General Partner and any distributions allocable to Class B units. Distributions declared to the General Partner are based on its two percent interest plus, if applicable, an amount equal to incentive distributions. Distributions allocable to the Class B units equal 30 percent of GTN’s distributable cash flow for the year ending December 31, 2020 less $20 million, the residual of which is further multiplied by 43.75 percent and if required, the percentage by which distributions payable to common units were reduced (Class B Reduction). The Class B Reduction was implemented during the first quarter of 2018 following the Partnership’s common unit distribution reduction of 35 percent. The Class B Reduction will apply to any calendar year during which distributions payable in respect of common units for such calendar year are less than $3.94 per common unit. Distributions allocable to the Class B units in 2019 equaled 30 percent of GTN’s distributable cashflow less $20 million and the Class B Reduction.

The non-GAAP financial measures described above are performance measures presented to assist investors in evaluating our business performance. We believe these measures provide additional meaningful information in evaluating our financial performance and cash generating capacity. 

The non-GAAP financial measures presented as part of this release are provided as a supplement to GAAP financial results and are not meant to be considered in isolation or as substitutes for financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Additionally, these measures as presented may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

For a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP measures, please see the table captioned "Reconciliation of Net income to Distributable Cash Flow” included at the end of this release.
