• Reported second-quarter earnings of $225 million and adjusted EBITDA of $337 million
• Announced quarterly distribution of $0.875 per common unit

Phillips 66 Partners LP (NYSE: PSXP) announces second-quarter 2021 earnings of $225 million, or $0.91 per diluted common unit. Cash from operations was $286 million, and distributable cash flow was $267 million. Adjusted EBITDA was $337 million in the second quarter, compared with $289 million in the prior quarter.

“This quarter we operated well and delivered solid financial performance,” said Greg Garland, Phillips 66 Partners Chairman and CEO. “Our results reflect higher throughput on our wholly owned and joint venture assets. During the quarter, we advanced construction of the C2G Pipeline and plan to begin operations by the fourth quarter of this year. We continue to operate our assets safely and reliably and maintain our strong financial position through disciplined capital allocation.”

On July 20, 2021, the general partner’s board of directors declared a second-quarter 2021 cash distribution of $0.875 per common unit, or $3.50 per unit on an annualized basis.

Financial Results

Phillips 66 Partners’ second-quarter 2021 earnings were $225 million, compared with a loss of $18 million in the first quarter. First-quarter results included a $198 million impairment resulting from the Partnership’s decision to exit the Liberty Pipeline project. The Partnership reported adjusted EBITDA of $337 million in the second quarter, compared with $289 million in the prior quarter. The increase in second-quarter earnings and adjusted EBITDA reflect higher volumes and lower utility costs at the Partnership’s wholly owned and joint venture assets following the first-quarter winter storms and higher pipeline and terminal volumes from increased utilization at Phillips 66-operated refineries.

Liquidity, Capital Expenditures and Investments

As of June 30, 2021, total debt outstanding was $3.9 billion. The Partnership had $2 million in cash and cash equivalents and $734 million available under its revolving credit facility.

The Partnership’s capital expenditures and investments for the quarter were $61 million. Growth capital included spend on the C2G Pipeline project and funding for the Bakken Pipeline optimization project.

On April 1, 2021, Phillips 66 Partners repaid the remaining $50 million of tax-exempt bonds. Also in April, the Partnership borrowed $450 million under a new term loan agreement. Proceeds were primarily used to repay amounts borrowed under the Partnership’s $750 million revolving credit facility.

Strategic Update

Phillips 66 Partners continued construction of the C2G Pipeline, a 16 inch ethane pipeline that will connect its Clemens Caverns storage facility to petrochemical facilities in Gregory, Texas, near Corpus Christi, Texas. The project is backed by long-term commitments. The pipeline is expected to be operational in the fourth quarter of 2021.

The Bakken Pipeline optimization project, supported by minimum volume commitments from long-term contracts, continues to progress with the next phase of incremental capacity commencing service in August.

Forward-looking statements included in this news release are based on management’s expectations, estimates and projections as of the date they are made.

^{Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information—This news release includes the terms “EBITDA,” “adjusted EBITDA,” “distributable cash flow” and “coverage ratio.” These are non-GAAP financial measures. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are included to help facilitate comparisons of operating performance of the Partnership with other companies in our industry. EBITDA and distributable cash flow help facilitate an assessment of our ability to generate sufficient cash flow to make distributions to our partners. We believe that the presentation of EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow provides useful information to investors in assessing our financial condition and results of operations. Our coverage ratio is calculated as distributable cash flow divided by total cash distributions and is included to help indicate the Partnership’s ability to pay cash distributions from current earnings. The GAAP performance measure most directly comparable to EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA is net income (loss). The GAAP liquidity measure most comparable to EBITDA and distributable cash flow is net cash provided by operating activities. The GAAP financial measure most comparable to our coverage ratio is calculated as net cash provided by operating activities divided by total cash distributions. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as alternatives to their comparable GAAP measures. They have important limitations as analytical tools because they exclude some but not all items that affect their corresponding GAAP measures. They should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Additionally, because EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, distributable cash flow and coverage ratio may be defined differently by other companies in our industry, our definition of those measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing their utility.}

^{Reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to their comparable GAAP measures are included in this release.}
