HOUSTON, Aug. 06, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Targa Resources Corp. (NYSE: TRGP) (TRC, the Company or Targa) today reported second quarter 2020 results.

Second Quarter 2020 Financial Results

Second quarter 2020 net income (loss) attributable to Targa Resources Corp. was $81.0 million compared to a net loss of $(10.2)million for the second quarter of 2019.

The Company reported quarterly earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and other non-cash items (Adjusted EBITDA) of $351.2 million for the second quarter of 2020 compared to $306.5million for the second quarter of 2019 (see the section of this release entitled Targa Resources Corp. Non-GAAP Financial Measures for a discussion of Adjusted EBITDA, distributable cash flow, gross margin and operating margin, and reconciliations of such measures to their most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP)).

On July 16, 2020, TRC declared a quarterly dividend of $0.10per share of its common stock for the threemonths ended June30,2020, or $0.40 per share on an annualized basis. Total cash dividends of approximately $23.3 million will be paid on August17,2020 on all outstanding shares of common stock to holders of record as of the close of business on July 31, 2020. Also, on July 16,2020, TRC declared a quarterly cash dividend of $23.75 per share of its Series A Preferred Stock. Total cash dividends of approximately $22.9 million will be paid on August 14, 2020 on all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock to holders of record as of the close of business on July 31, 2020.

The Company reported distributable cash flow for the second quarter of 2020 of $273.7 million compared to total common dividends to be paid of $23.3 million and total Series A Preferred Stock dividends to be paid of $22.9 million.

Second Quarter 2020 - Sequential Quarter over Quarter Commentary

Targa reported second quarter 2020 Adjusted EBITDA of $351.2 million. The sequential decrease in Adjusted EBITDA was attributable to the low commodity price environment, and temporary production curtailments and reduced producer activity, which resulted in lower volumes across Targas Gathering and Processing (G&P) and Logistics and Transportation (L&T) systems during the second quarter, partially offset by cost reduction measures that resulted in lower aggregate operating and general and administrative expenses despite new assets being placed in-service during the quarter. In the G&P segment, lower sequential gross margin was predominantly attributable to lower volumes in the Badlands and Central region attributable to temporary production shut-ins and reduced producer activity, and lower average commodity price realizations. Targas second quarter natural gas inlet volumes in the Permian were relatively flat when compared to the first quarter, despite the impacts of temporary production shut-ins and reduced activity levels during the quarter. In the L&T segment, lower sequential gross margin was primarily due to lower marketing margin, and modestly lower sequential fractionation, pipeline transportation and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) export volumes during the second quarter. Seasonality in Targas wholesale marketing businesses, combined with less optimization margin realized in its marketing businesses during the second quarter, accounted for about half of the sequential decline in segment gross margin when compared to the first quarter. Lower fractionation and pipeline transportation volumes were also due to temporary production shut-ins and reduced producer activity. Lower LPG export volumes were attributable to scheduled downtime to tie-in the phased expansion at Targas LPG export facility at Galena Park, which began operations in August.

Updated 2020 Outlook

While commodity prices remain low and uncertainties associated with the impacts of COVID-19 continue, in certain areas of Targas operations like the Permian Basin, production from wells that were previously shut-in during the second quarter has largely resumed. Assuming crude oil prices average $40 per barrel WTI, NGL prices average $0.40 per gallon, and Henry Hub and Waha natural gas prices average $2.00 and $1.50 per million British Thermal unit, respectively and the Companys current best estimates for a range of volume outcomes through the second half of 2020, Targa is increasing the low end of its previously provided 2020 Adjusted EBITDA outlook and now estimates full year Adjusted EBITDA to be between $1.5 billion to $1.625 billion.

Second Quarter 2020 - Capitalization and Liquidity

The Companys total consolidated debt as of June 30, 2020 was $7,841.5million including $435.0 million outstanding under TRCs $670.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility. The consolidated debt included $7,406.5 million of Targa Resources Partners LPs (TRP or the Partnership) debt, net of $43.7 million of debt issuance costs, with $440.0 million outstanding under TRPs $2.2 billion senior secured revolving credit facility, $250.0 million outstanding under TRPs accounts receivable securitization facility, $6,725.1 million of outstanding TRP senior notes, net of unamortized premiums, and $35.1 million of finance lease liabilities.

Total consolidated liquidity of the Company as of June 30, 2020, including $196.2 million of cash, was over $2.1 billion. As of June30,2020, TRC had available borrowing capacity under its senior secured revolving credit facility of $235.0 million. TRP had $440.0million of borrowings and $56.8 million in letters of credit outstanding under its $2.2 billion senior secured revolving credit facility, resulting in available senior secured revolving credit facility capacity of $1,703.2 million.

Growth Projects Update

Since the beginning of 2020, the Company has completed the vast majority of its major growth capital projects underway either on- or under-budget. Targa commenced operations on its 110 thousand barrel per day (Mbbl/d) Train 7 fractionator in Mont Belvieu and its 250 million cubic feet per day (MMcf/d) Peregrine Plant in Permian Delaware, and has recently commenced operations on its phased expansion at its LPG export facility at Galena Park and its 250 MMcf/d Gateway Plant in Permian Midland. The Company remains on-track to complete its 110 Mbbl/d Train 8 fractionator in Mont Belvieu during the third quarter of 2020 and its Grand Prix NGL Pipeline (Grand Prix) extension into Central Oklahoma during the first quarter of 2021.

Net contributions to investments in unconsolidated affiliates were $0.3 million and $57.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019.(3) Maintenance capital expenditures, net of contributions from noncontrolling interests, were $51.4 million and $67.2 million for the six months ended June 30,2020 and 2019.NM Due to a low denominator, the noted percentage change is disproportionately high and as a result, considered not meaningful.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2020 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2019

The decrease in commodity sales reflects lower natural gas liquid (NGL), condensate, and petroleum products prices ($476.2 million) and lower crude marketing, petroleum products, and natural gas volumes ($150.3 million), partially offset by higher NGL and condensate volumes ($137.9 million), higher natural gas prices ($59.5 million) and the favorable impact of hedges ($26.1 million).

The decrease in fees from midstream services is primarily due to new transportation arrangements for Badlands volumes effective in January 2020, which resulted in a change from net presentation as fees from midstream services to gross presentation as sales of commodities and product purchases, partially offset by increased export volumes.

The decrease in product purchases reflects decreased NGL, condensate and petroleum products prices, partially offset by increases in volumes.

Higher operating margin and gross margin in 2020 reflect increased segment results for Gathering and Processing and Logistics and Transportation. See Review of Segment Performance for additional information regarding changes in operating margin and gross margin on a segment basis.

Depreciation and amortization expense decreased primarily due to a lower depreciable base associated with assets that were impaired during the first quarter of 2020 and the sale of the Delaware crude gathering system, which was effective December 1, 2019. The decrease in depreciation and amortization expense was partially offset by higher depreciation related to major growth capital projects placed in service, including Train 7 and the additional processing plants and associated infrastructure in the Permian Basin.

General and administrative expense decreased due to cost reduction measures resulting in lower non-labor expenses and reduced compensation and benefits.

Interest expense, net, increased due to higher average borrowings and lower capitalized interest resulting from lower growth capital investments.

The increase in equity earnings is primarily due to higher earnings from the Company's investments in Gulf Coast Express Pipeline LLC (GCX) and Little Missouri 4 LLC (Little Missouri 4), partially offset by lower earnings from Gulf Coast Fractionators LP (GCF).

During the three months ended June 30, 2020, the Partnership repurchased a portion of its outstanding senior notes on the open market, paying $117.7 million plus accrued interest to repurchase $140.6 million of the notes, resulting in a $21.8 million net gain from financing activities.

The increase in income tax benefit is primarily due to change in the valuation allowance.

Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests was higher in 2020 primarily due to income allocated to noncontrolling interest holders in Targa Badlands LLC (Targa Badlands), Targa GCX Pipeline LLC (GCX DevCo JV), and the Grand Prix Pipeline LLC (Grand Prix Joint Venture).

Six Months Ended June 30, 2020 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2019

The decrease in commodity sales reflects lower NGL, natural gas, condensate, and petroleum products prices ($1,243.0 million) and lower crude marketing volumes ($131.2 million), partially offset by higher NGL, natural gas, condensate, and petroleum products volumes ($596.5 million) and the favorable impact of hedges ($174.1 million).

The decrease in fees from midstream services is primarily due to new transportation arrangements for Badlands volumes during the six months ended June 30, 2020, which resulted in a change from net presentation as fees from midstream services to gross presentation as sales of commodities and product purchases, partially offset by increased export volumes.

The decrease in product purchases reflects decreased NGL, natural gas, petroleum products and condensate prices, partially offset by increases in volumes.Higher operating margin and gross margin in 2020 reflect increased segment results for Gathering and Processing and Logistics and Transportation. See Review of Segment Performance for additional information regarding changes in operating margin and gross margin on a segment basis.

Depreciation and amortization expense decreased primarily due to a lower depreciable base associated with assets that were impaired during the first quarter of 2020 and the sale of the Delaware crude gathering system, which was effective December 1, 2019. The decrease in depreciation and amortization expense was partially offset by higher depreciation related to major growth capital projects placed in service, including Train 7 and the additional processing plants and associated infrastructure in the Permian Basin.

General and administrative expense decreased due to cost reduction measures resulting in reduced compensation and benefits and lower non-labor expenses.

The impairment charge is primarily associated with the partial impairment of gas processing facilities and gathering systems in the first quarter of 2020 associated with the Company's Mid-Continent operations and full impairment of the Companys Coastal operations - all of which are in the Companys Gathering and Processing segment. Based on then-current market conditions, the Companys first quarter impairment assessment projected further decline in natural gas production across the Mid-Continent and Gulf of Mexico. The Company did not recognize any impairments of long-lived assets during the first quarter of 2019. The Company may identify additional triggering events in the future, which will require additional evaluations of the recoverability of the carrying value of the Companys long-lived assets and may result in future impairments.

Interest expense, net, increased due to higher average borrowings and lower capitalized interest resulting from lower growth capital investments.

The increase in equity earnings is primarily due to higher earnings from the Companys investments in GCX and Little Missouri 4, partially offset by lower earnings from GCF.

During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Partnership repurchased a portion of its outstanding senior notes on the open market, paying $239.8 million plus accrued interest to repurchase $303.3 million of the notes, resulting in a $61.1 million net gain from financing activities.

The increase in income tax benefit is primarily due to a higher pre-tax book loss and an additional benefit of net operating loss carryback from the CARES Act.

Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests was lower in 2020 primarily due to impairment losses allocated to noncontrolling interest holders, partially offset by income allocated to noncontrolling interest holders in Targa Badlands, GCX DevCo JV, the Grand Prix Joint Venture and Train 6.

Review of Segment Performance

The following discussion of segment performance includes inter-segment activities. The Company views segment operating margin and gross margin as important performance measures of the core profitability of its operations. These measures are key components of internal financial reporting and are reviewed for consistency and trend analysis. For a discussion of operating margin and gross margin, see Targa Resources Corp. Non-GAAP Financial Measures Operating Margin and Targa Resources Corp. Non-GAAP Financial Measures Gross Margin. Segment operating financial results and operating statistics include the effects of intersegment transactions. These intersegment transactions have been eliminated from the consolidated presentation.

The Company operates in two primary segments: (i) Gathering and Processing; and (ii) Logistics and Transportation.

Gathering and Processing Segment

The Gathering and Processing segment includes assets used in the gathering of natural gas produced from oil and gas wells and processing this raw natural gas into merchantable natural gas by extracting NGLs and removing impurities; and assets used for crude oil gathering and terminaling. The Gathering and Processing segment's assets are located in the Permian Basin of West Texas and Southeast New Mexico (including the Midland, Central and Delaware Basins); the Eagle Ford Shale in South Texas; the Barnett Shale in North Texas; the Anadarko, Ardmore, and Arkoma Basins in Oklahoma (including the SCOOP and STACK) and South Central Kansas; the Williston Basin in North Dakota (including the Bakken and Three Forks plays); and the onshore and near offshore regions of the Louisiana Gulf Coast and the Gulf of Mexico.

The following table provides summary data regarding results of operations of this segment for the periods indicated:

Three Months Ended June 30, 2020 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2019

The decrease in gross margin was primarily due to lower volumes in the Central region, attributable to temporary shut-ins and reduced producer activity, and lower realized NGL and condensate prices, partially offset by higher volumes and fee-based margin in the Permian. In the Permian, inlet volumes and NGL production increased due to production from new wells and the addition of the Pembrook and Falcon plants in 2019 and the Peregrine plant in the second quarter of 2020. These increases were partially offset by the impact of temporary shut-ins and reduced producer activity. In the Badlands, natural gas gathered volumes and NGL production increased due to production from new wells and the incremental processing capacity available with the commencement of operations at the Little Missouri 4 Plant in the third quarter of 2019, partially offset by the impact of temporary shut-ins and reduced producer activity. Total crude oil gathered volumes decreased in the Badlands due to temporary shut-ins and reduced producer activity, while the decrease in the Permian was primarily due to the sale of the Delaware crude gathering system in the fourth quarter of 2019.

Despite the addition of new processing facilities in the Permian, operating expenses were lower due to cost reduction measures that resulted in a decrease in expenses from contract labor, chemicals, taxes and supplies.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2020 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2019

The decrease in gross margin was primarily due to lower volumes in the Central region attributable to temporary shut-ins and reduced producer activity, and lower realized commodity prices, partially offset by higher volumes and fee-based margin in the Permian and Badlands. In the Permian, inlet volumes and NGL production increased due to production from new wells and the addition of the Pembrook and Falcon plants in 2019 and the Peregrine plant in the second quarter of 2020. These increases were partially offset by the impact of temporary shut-ins and reduced producer activity. In the Badlands, natural gas gathered volumes and NGL production increased due to production from new wells and the incremental processing capacity available with the commencement of operations at the Little Missouri 4 Plant in the third quarter of 2019, partially offset by the impact of temporary shut-ins and reduced producer activity. Total crude oil gathered volumes were flat in the Badlands, while the decrease in the Permian was primarily due to the sale of the Delaware crude gathering system in the fourth quarter of 2019.

Despite the addition of new processing facilities in the Permian, operating expenses were lower due to cost reduction measures that resulted in a decrease in expenses from contract labor, taxes and chemicals, partially offset by increased compensation and related benefits.

Logistics and Transportation Segment

The Logistics and Transportation segment includes the activities and assets necessary to convert mixed NGLs into NGL products and also includes other assets and value-added services such as transporting, storing, fractionating, terminaling and marketing of NGLs and NGL products, including services to LPG exporters and certain natural gas supply and marketing activities in support of the Companys other businesses. The Logistics and Transportation segment also includes Grand Prix, which connects the Companys gathering and processing positions in the Permian Basin, Southern Oklahoma and North Texas with the Companys downstream facilities in Mont Belvieu, Texas. The associated assets, including these pipelines, are generally connected to and supplied in part by the Companys Gathering and Processing segment and, except for the pipelines and smaller terminals, are located predominantly in Mont Belvieu and Galena Park, Texas, and in Lake Charles, Louisiana.

The following table provides summary data regarding results of operations of this segment for the periods indicated:

Three Months Ended June 30, 2020 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2019

The increase in Logistics and Transportation segment gross margin was primarily due to higher NGL transportation and fractionation margin and higher LPG export margin, partially offset by lower marketing margin. NGL transportation and fractionation margin increased due to volumes delivered on Grand Prix, which began full service into Mont Belvieu during the third quarter of 2019, and higher fractionation volumes, as a result of the commencement of operations of Train 7 in the first quarter of 2020 and operations of Train 6 for a portion of the second quarter of 2019. LPG export margin increased primarily due to higher volumes, driven in part by phased expansions of the Companys LPG export capabilities. Marketing margin decreased due to less optimization margin realized in its marketing businesses.

Operating expenses were higher due to the addition of incremental fractionation capacity, higher taxes primarily attributable to Train 7, and higher compensation and benefits, partially offset by lower fuel and power costs and cost reduction measures.

Targa Resources Corp. - Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release includes the Companys non-GAAP financial measures: Adjusted EBITDA, distributable cash flow, gross margin and operating margin. The following tables provide reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measures. The Companys non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as alternatives to GAAP measures such as net income, operating income, net cash flows provided by operating activities or any other GAAP measure of liquidity or financial performance.

The Company utilizes non-GAAP measures to analyze the Companys performance. Gross margin, operating margin, Adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow are non-GAAP measures. The GAAP measure most directly comparable to these non-GAAP measures is net income (loss) attributable to TRC. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered as an alternative to GAAP net income attributable to TRC and have important limitations as analytical tools. Investors should not consider these measures in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Companys results as reported under GAAP. Additionally, because the Companys non-GAAP measures exclude some, but not all, items that affect net income, and are defined differently by different companies within the Companys industry, the Companys definitions may not be comparable with similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing their utility. Management compensates for the limitations of the Companys non-GAAP measures as analytical tools by reviewing the comparable GAAP measures, understanding the differences between the measures and incorporating these insights into the Companys decision-making processes.

Adjusted EBITDA

The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) attributable to TRC before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and other items that the Company believes should be adjusted consistent with the Companys core operating performance. The adjusting items are detailed in the Adjusted EBITDA reconciliation table and its footnotes. Adjusted EBITDA is used as a supplemental financial measure by the Company and by external users of the Companys financial statements such as investors, commercial banks and others to measure the ability of the Companys assets to generate cash sufficient to pay interest costs, support the Companys indebtedness and pay dividends to the Companys investors.

Distributable Cash Flow

The Company defines distributable cash flow as Adjusted EBITDA less distributions to TRP preferred limited partners, cash interest expense on debt obligations, cash tax (expense) benefit and maintenance capital expenditures (net of any reimbursements of project costs). Distributable cash flow is a performance measure used by the Company and by external users of the Companys financial statements, such as investors, commercial banks and research analysts, to assess the Companys ability to generate cash earnings (after paying preferred distributions, servicing the Companys debt and funding maintenance capital expenditures) to be used for corporate purposes, such as payment of dividends, retirement of debt or funding growth capital expenditures.

The following table presents a reconciliation of net income attributable to TRC to Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow for the periods indicated:

Gross Margin

The Company defines gross margin as revenues less product purchases. It is impacted by volumes and commodity prices as well as by the Companys contract mix and commodity hedging program.

Gathering and Processing segment gross margin consists primarily of:

-- service fees related to natural gas and crude oil gathering, treating and processing; and -- revenues from the sale of natural gas, condensate, crude oil and NGLs less producer payments, other natural gas and crude oil purchases, and the Company's equity volume hedge settlements.

Logistics and Transportation segment gross margin consists primarily of:

-- service fees (including the pass-through of energy costs included in fee rates); -- system product gains and losses; and -- NGL and natural gas sales, less NGL and natural gas purchases, third-party transportation costs and the net inventory change.

The gross margin impacts of mark-to-market hedge unrealized changes in fair value are reported in Other.

Operating Margin

The Company defines operating margin as gross margin less operating expenses. Operating margin is an important performance measure of the core profitability of the Companys operations.

Management reviews business segment gross margin and operating margin monthly as a core internal management process. The Company believes that investors benefit from having access to the same financial measures that management uses in evaluating its operating results. Gross margin and operating margin provide useful information to investors because they are used as supplemental financial measures by management and by external users of the Companys financial statements, including investors and commercial banks, to assess:

-- the financial performance of the Companys assets without regard to financing methods, capital structure or historical cost basis; -- the Companys operating performance and return on capital as compared to other companies in the midstream energy sector, without regard to financing or capital structure;and -- the viability of acquisitions and capital expenditure projects and the overall rates of return on alternative investment opportunities.
