EnLink Midstream Reports Fourth Quarter and Full-Year 2023 Results, Provides 2024 Financial Guidance

DALLAS, February 20, 2024 — EnLink Midstream, LLC (NYSE: ENLC) (EnLink) today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full-year 2023 and provided 2024 financial guidance.

Highlights

	·	Reported net income of $100.1 million and $350.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2023 and full-year 2023, respectively, and net cash provided by operations of $360.7 million and $1.22 billion for the fourth quarter and full-year 2023, respectively.
	·	Generated adjusted EBITDA, net to EnLink, of $350.8 million and $1.35 billion for the fourth quarter of 2023 and full-year 2023, respectively. Grew full-year 2023 adjusted EBITDA 5% compared to 2022.
	·	Delivered free cash flow after distributions (FCFAD) of $79.4 million and $247.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2023 and full-year 2023, respectively, driven by strong operational results.
	·	Increased returns to unitholders by raising the quarterly distribution approximately 6% to $0.1325 per unit and repurchasing approximately $90 million in common units during the fourth quarter, bringing total common unit repurchases for 2023 to $250 million¹. Since EnLink began a consistent unit repurchase program in late 2021, EnLink has repurchased approximately 9% of its outstanding common units².
	·	Expects continued growth in 2024 with a guidance range of $1.31 billion to $1.41 billion, which represents adjusted EBITDA growth in our base business of approximately 4% over 2023, excluding the effects of legacy contract resets and the divestiture of non-core ORV assets.
	·	Expects to generate approximately $290 million in FCFAD based on the midpoint of 2024 guidance.

"EnLink delivered another record year by generating adjusted EBITDA of $1.35 billion, achieving the midpoint of 2023 guidance and 5% growth over the prior year,” EnLink Chief Executive Officer Jesse Arenivas said. "Through solid execution and operational excellence, we delivered on our 2023 guidance metrics for adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow after distributions, safely launched operations of our North Texas carbon capture and sequestration project with BKV, executed an upsized $250 million common unit repurchase program, and raised our quarterly distribution in early 2023.

"We remain committed to returning capital to our investors in 2024, as reflected in the recent decision to raise our distribution for the fourth quarter of 2023 and to initiate our third annual unit repurchase authorization of at least $200 million. We expect the positive momentum to continue this year across our business segments, including in our two largest segments - the Permian and Louisiana - while also continuing to capitalize on our first mover status to secure carbon dioxide (CO₂) transportation projects across the Gulf Coast."

Adjusted EBITDA and FCFAD used in this press release are non-GAAP measures and are explained in greater detail under "Non-GAAP Financial Information" below.

¹Includes $41.5 million of common units repurchased from GIP pursuant to our Unit Repurchase Agreement, which settled on February 19, 2024.

²Approximately 42 million common units repurchased since December 31, 2021, including units repurchased from GIP, which settled on February 19, 2024. At December 31,2021, there were approximately 484 million common units outstanding.

	·	Adjusted EBITDA, net to EnLink, for 2024 is forecast to continue the trend of modest growth, with implied organic growth at the midpoint of guidance representing 4% growth in our base business over full-year 2023, when excluding the approximately $50 million impact from legacy contract resets and the non-core asset sale.
	·	The two largest segments, the Permian and Louisiana, are forecast to generate approximately 60% of segment profit.
	·	Capital expenditures are focused on high-return, capital-efficient projects.
	·	FCFAD of $290 million is forecast at the midpoint of guidance. This reflects a significant increase in FCFAD compared to 2023 as adjusted EBITDA growth and reduced investment contributions lead to a positive variance.
	·	EnLink's Board of Directors has reauthorized a unit repurchase program for 2024 and set the amount available for repurchase at $200 million. This represents the third consecutive year with at least a $200 million unit repurchase authorization.

Segment Updates

Permian:

Segment profit for the fourth quarter of 2023 was $105.9 million, including $9.6 million of operating expenses related to plant relocation and $4.0 million of unrealized derivative gains. Excluding plant relocation operating expenses and unrealized derivative activity, segment profit in the fourth quarter of 2023 decreased approximately 1% sequentially but grew approximately 11% over the fourth quarter of 2022.

	·	Average natural gas gathering volumes for the fourth quarter of 2023 were approximately 6% higher compared to the third quarter of 2023 and approximately 23% higher compared to the fourth quarter of 2022. Average natural gas processing volumes for the fourth quarter of 2023 were approximately 4% higher sequentially and approximately 20% higher compared to the prior year period. EnLink continues to benefit from strong producer drilling activity on its Permian footprint.
	·	Tiger II, EnLink's third plant relocation to the Permian, remains on schedule and on budget with an in-service date expected in the second quarter of 2024. EnLink expects to spend approximately $15 million net to EnLink in 2024 related to relocating processing capacity. Similar to EnLink's prior plant relocations, these costs will be recognized as operating expense.
	·	Average crude oil gathering volumes for the fourth quarter of 2023 were approximately 6% higher compared to the third quarter of 2023 and approximately 32% higher compared to the fourth quarter of 2022.
	·	Segment profit for 2024 is expected to range from $420 million to $490 million. Including plant relocation expenses of $14 million and $30 million for 2023 and 2024, respectively, segment profit is forecast to grow approximately 15% over 2023, driven primarily by strong producer activity in both the Midland and Delaware basins.

Louisiana:

	·	Segment profit for the fourth quarter of 2023 was $103.6 million, including unrealized derivative gains of $0.9 million. Excluding unrealized derivative activity, segment profit in the fourth quarter of 2023 grew approximately 10% sequentially, impacted by normal seasonal effects in the natural gas liquids (NGL) segment, and grew approximately 2% over the fourth quarter of 2022.

	·	EnLink divested the non-core Ohio River Valley assets during the fourth quarter of 2023. EnLink received gross proceeds of approximately $70 million, which represented an EBITDA multiple of approximately 6x.
	·	Segment profit for 2024 is expected to range from $405 million to $435 million. Segment profit is forecast to grow approximately 7% over 2023, driven primarily by tighter supply and demand dynamics and higher rates for natural gas services.

Oklahoma:

	·	Segment profit for the fourth quarter of 2023 was $112.0 million, including unrealized derivative gains of $1.3 million. Excluding unrealized derivative activity, segment profit in the fourth quarter of 2023 grew approximately 1% sequentially and grew approximately 7% over the fourth quarter of 2022.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

This press release contains non-generally accepted accounting principles financial measures that we refer to as adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow after distributions (FCFAD).

We define adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) plus (less) interest expense, net of interest income; depreciation and amortization; impairments; (income) loss from unconsolidated affiliate investments; distributions from unconsolidated affiliate investments; (gain) loss on disposition of assets; (gain) loss on extinguishment of debt; unit-based compensation; income tax expense (benefit); unrealized (gain) loss on commodity derivatives; costs associated with the relocation of processing facilities; accretion expense associated with asset retirement obligations; transaction costs; non-cash expense related to changes in the fair value of contingent consideration; (non-cash rent); and (non-controlling interest share of adjusted EBITDA from joint ventures).

We define free cash flow after distributions as adjusted EBITDA, net to ENLC, plus (less) (growth and maintenance capital expenditures, excluding capital expenditures that were contributed by other entities and relate to the non-controlling interest share of our consolidated entities); (interest expense, net of interest income); (distributions declared on common units); (cash distributions earned by the Series B Preferred Units and the Series C Preferred Units); (payment to redeem mandatorily redeemable non-controlling interest); (costs associated with the relocation of processing facilities, excluding costs that were contributed by other entities and relate to the non-controlling interest share of our consolidated entities); non-cash interest (income)/expense; (contributions to investment in unconsolidated affiliates); (payments to terminate interest rate swaps); (current income taxes); and proceeds from the sale of equipment and land.

EnLink believes these measures are useful to investors because they may provide users of this financial information with meaningful comparisons between current results and previously-reported results and a meaningful measure of the company’s cash flow after it has satisfied the capital and related requirements of its operations. In addition, adjusted EBITDA is used as a metric in our short-term incentive program for compensating employees and in our performance awards for executives.

Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow after distributions, as defined above, are not measures of financial performance or liquidity under GAAP. They should not be considered in isolation or as an indicator of EnLink’s performance. Furthermore, they should not be seen as a substitute for metrics prepared in accordance with GAAP. Reconciliations of these measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measures are included in the following tables. See ENLC’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission for more information.

(1)

Represents the forward-looking net income guidance of EnLink Midstream, LLC for the year ended December 31, 2024. The forward-looking net income guidance excludes the potential impact of gains or losses on derivative activity, gains or losses on disposition of assets, impairment expense, gains or losses as a result of legal settlements, gains or losses on extinguishment of debt, the financial effects of future acquisitions, and proceeds from the sale of equipment. The exclusion of these items is due to the uncertainty regarding the occurrence, timing and/or amount of these events.

(2)

Net income includes estimated net income attributable to NGP Natural Resources XI, L.P.'s ("NGP") 49.9% share of net income from the Delaware Basin JV and Marathon Petroleum Corp.'s ("Marathon") 50% share of net income from the Ascension JV.

(3)

(4)

EnLink does not provide a reconciliation of forward-looking net cash provided by operating activities to adjusted EBITDA because the Company is unable to predict with reasonable certainty changes in working capital, which may impact cash provided or used during the year. Working capital includes accounts receivable, accounts payable, and other current assets and liabilities. These items are uncertain and depend on various factors outside the Company’s control.
