RALEIGH, N.C.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Vontier Corporation (NYSE: VNT), a leading global provider of critical technologies and solutions to connect, manage and scale the mobility ecosystem, today announced results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2023.

Reported sales in the first quarter increased 3.8% year-over-year to $776.4 million, reflecting an increase in core sales of 3.9%. Core sales growth was driven by continued underlying momentum across the portfolio, as well as strong pricing realization and improving supply chain conditions. Operating profit of $133.8 million declined 1% versus the prior year, and operating profit margin decreased 80 basis points, to 17.2%. Adjusted operating profit of $161.2 million declined 1.3% versus the prior year, and adjusted operating profit margin decreased approximately 100 basis points, to 20.8%. Net earnings were $82.8 million and adjusted net earnings were $106.1 million, resulting in diluted net earnings per share of $0.53 and adjusted diluted net earnings per share of $0.68.

“Vontier delivered a strong start to 2023, with first quarter results that exceeded expectations,” said Mark Morelli, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Our results reflect our team’s commitment to delivering top-tier financial performance, which enabled solid baseline core revenue and profit growth, and underscore our leading positions in attractive end markets.”

Mobility Technologies reported total sales of $246 million, an increase of 18% versus the prior year. Core sales growth of 12% was driven by strong performance within the car wash technologies business, as well as increased demand for the Company’s alternative energy solutions. Segment operating profit increased approximately 17% versus the prior year. Segment operating profit margin declined 30 basis points year over year resulting from continued growth investment and unfavorable mix related to the Invenco acquisition.

Repair Solutions reported total sales of approximately $181 million, up 10% from the prior year. Core sales growth of 11% was driven by continued improvement in supply chain conditions which allowed for more normalized fulfillment times. Demand for cordless power tools remained robust and orders for tool storage continues to recover. Segment operating profit of $47 million is in line with prior year results. Segment operating profit margin declined 250 basis points, impacted by the timing of year-over-year reserve adjustments related to the financing receivable portfolio.

Environmental & Fueling Solutions reported total sales of approximately $314 million, down 4% year-over-year. Core sales declined 2% as strong shipments of U.S. dispensers, as well as continued strength in environmental solutions and aftermarket parts, were more than offset by the year over year decline in EMV-related volume. Segment operating profit declined 1.6% year over year, while segment operating profit margin expanded 70 basis points.

Other Items

  • Repurchased approximately $18 million, or ~850k shares, during the quarter

  • Completed divestiture of Global Traffic Technologies on April 14th, generating $107 million in gross proceeds

  • Repaid $65 million in debt during the quarter. Following the divestiture of GTT in April, a portion of the net proceeds ($50 million) were deployed to additional debt repayment.

2023 Outlook

  • Total sales down low-to-mid-single digits; Core sales down low-to-mid-single digits; Baseline* core sales growth of mid-single digits-plus

  • Adjusted operating profit margin down 60 to 80 basis points; Baseline* adjusted operating profit margin expansion of 180 to 200 basis points

  • Adjusted diluted EPS in the range of $2.77 to $2.87, compares to the prior range of $2.73 to $2.83, or $2.68 to $2.78 excluding a $0.05 contribution from GTT, following the divestiture

  • Adjusted free cash flow conversion of ~90-100%

Q2 2023 Outlook

  • Total sales down mid-single digits; Core sales down low-to-mid-single digits; Baseline* core sales growth of mid-single digits

  • Adjusted operating profit margin down 65 to 105 basis points; Baseline* adjusted operating profit margin expansion of 170 to 220 basis points

  • Adjusted diluted EPS $0.61 to $0.66

*References to baseline core sales growth and baseline margin expansion exclude the impact of the year over year decline in EMV-related U.S. Dispenser sales (~$300M) and the associated operating profit decline (~$150M), consistent with the framework previously provided.

RECONCILIATION OF GAAP TO NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

AND OTHER INFORMATION

Core Sales Growth

We define core sales growth as total sales excluding (i) sales from acquired and certain divested businesses; (ii) the impact of currency translation; and (iii) certain other items.

  • References to sales attributable to acquisitions or acquired businesses refer to GAAP sales from acquired businesses recorded prior to the first anniversary of the acquisition less the amount of sales attributable to certain divested businesses or product lines not considered discontinued operations.

  • The portion of sales attributable to the impact of currency translation is calculated as the difference between (a) the period-to-period change in sales (excluding sales from acquired businesses) and (b) the period-to-period change in sales, including foreign operations, (excluding sales from acquired businesses) after applying the current period foreign exchange rates to the prior year period.

  • The portion of sales attributable to other items is calculated as the impact of those items which are not directly correlated to sales from existing businesses which do not have an impact on the current or comparable period.

Core sales should be considered in addition to, and not as a replacement for or superior to, total sales, and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Management believes that reporting the non-GAAP financial measure of core sales provides useful information to investors by helping identify underlying growth trends in our business and facilitating easier comparisons of our sales performance with our performance in prior and future periods and to our peers. We exclude the effect of acquisitions and certain divestiture-related items because the nature, size and number of such transactions can vary dramatically from period to period and between us and our peers. We exclude the effect of currency translation and certain other items from core sales because these items are either not under management’s control or relate to items not directly correlated to core sales growth. Management believes the exclusion of these items from core sales may facilitate assessment of underlying business trends and may assist in comparisons of long-term performance. References to sales volume refer to the impact of both price and unit sales.

Adjusted Operating Profit and Adjusted Operating Profit Margin

Adjusted operating profit refers to operating profit calculated in accordance with GAAP, but excluding amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, restructuring costs and other termination costs and severance benefits (“Restructuring costs”), transaction- and deal-related costs, amortization of acquisition-related inventory fair value step-up, other charges which represent charges incurred that are not part of our core operating results (“Other charges”), the impact of certain divested businesses, or product lines or businesses to be abandoned but not considered discontinued operations (“Divestiture related adjustments”), gains and losses on sale of property, asset impairments, one-time costs related to the separation and normalization and other adjustments which represent adjustments for standalone public company costs. Adjusted operating profit margin refers to adjusted operating profit divided by GAAP sales.

Segment Operating Profit and Segment Operating Profit Margin

Segment operating profit is used by Vontier’s management in determining how to allocate resources and assess performance. Segment operating profit represents total segment sales less operating costs attributable to the segment, which does not include unallocated corporate costs and other operating costs not allocated to the reportable segments as part of management’s assessment of reportable segment operating performance, including stock-based compensation expense, amortization of intangible assets and other costs shown in the reconciliation to GAAP operating profit below. As part of management’s assessment of the Repair Solutions segment, a capital charge based on the segment’s financing receivables portfolio is assessed by Corporate. Segment operating profit margin refers to segment operating profit divided by GAAP sales.

Adjusted Net Earnings and Adjusted Diluted Net Earnings per Share

We disclose the non-GAAP measures of adjusted net earnings and adjusted diluted net earnings per share which, to the extent applicable, make the following adjustments to GAAP net earnings and GAAP diluted net earnings per share:

  • Excluding on a pretax basis amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets;

  • Excluding on a pretax basis restructuring and other termination costs and severance benefits (“Restructuring costs”);

  • Excluding on a pretax basis (to the extent tax deductible) charges for goodwill and fixed asset impairment;

  • Excluding on a pretax basis transaction- and deal-related costs;

  • Excluding on a pretax basis gains and losses from the sale of property;

  • Excluding on a pretax basis one-time costs related to the separation;

  • Excluding on a pretax basis non-cash write-offs of deferred financing costs;

  • Excluding on a pretax basis other charges which represent charges incurred that are not part of our core operating results;

  • Excluding on a pretax basis the amortization of acquisition-related inventory fair value step-up;

  • Excluding on a pretax basis gains and losses on investments;

  • Excluding on a pretax basis the impact of certain divested businesses, or product lines or businesses to be abandoned not considered discontinued operations (“Divestiture-related adjustments”);

  • Including on a pretax basis normalization and other adjustments which represent adjustments for standalone public company costs; and

  • Excluding and including the tax effect of the adjustments noted above and other tax adjustments. The tax effect of such adjustments was calculated by applying our overall estimated effective tax rate to the pretax amount of each adjustment (unless the nature of the item and/or the tax jurisdiction in which the item has been recorded requires application of a specific tax rate or tax treatment, in which case the tax effect of such item is estimated by applying such specific tax rate or tax treatment).

Adjusted Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow Conversion

Adjusted free cash flow refers to cash flow from operations calculated according to GAAP adjusted for cash received from the sale of property and cash paid for capital expenditures, standalone and other one-time public company costs, restructuring costs, transaction- and deal-related costs, divestiture-related adjustments and other charges. Adjusted free cash flow conversion refers to adjusted free cash flow divided by adjusted net earnings.

Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors by reflecting additional ways of viewing aspects of our operations that, when reconciled to the corresponding GAAP measure, help our investors to understand the long-term profitability trends of our business, and facilitate comparisons of our profitability to prior and future periods and to our peers.

These non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a replacement for or superior to, the comparable GAAP measures, and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

A reconciliation of each of the projected Core Sales Growth, Baseline Core Sales Growth, Adjusted Operating Profit Margin, Baseline Adjusted Operating Profit Margin, Adjusted Diluted Net Earnings Per Share and Adjusted Free Cash Flow Conversion, which are forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures, to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, is not provided because the company is unable to provide such reconciliation without unreasonable effort. The inability to provide each reconciliation is due to the unpredictability of the amounts and timing of events affecting the items we exclude from the non-GAAP measure.

Clearway Energy, Inc. Reports First Quarter 2023 Financial Results

  • Repowering Cedro Hill with PPA extension to 2045 and increasing project size to 160MW
  • Increased size of revolving credit facility to $700 million
  • Reaffirming 2023 financial guidance and pro forma CAFD outlook
  • Increasing the quarterly dividend by 2% to
    $0.3818
    per share in the second quarter of 20
    23, or
    $1.5272 per share annualized
  • Continue to target annual dividend per share growth in the upper range of 5% to 8% through 2026

PRINCETON, N.J., May 04, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Clearway Energy, Inc. (NYSE: CWEN, CWEN.A) today reported first quarter 2023 financial results, including Net Loss of $(40) million, Adjusted EBITDA of $218 million, Cash from Operating Activities of $75 million, and Cash Available for Distribution (CAFD) of $(4) million.

“Clearway’s 2023 financial outlook remains on track despite first quarter results being impacted by weaker renewable resource. During the quarter, we further improved the Company’s financial flexibility with the upsizing of our revolving credit facility to $700 million which remains completely undrawn,” said Christopher Sotos, Clearway Energy, Inc.’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “Our long-term outlook continues to improve with today’s announcement of the Cedro Hill repowering, which provides a stable CAFD profile for the project with the 15-year PPA extension to 2045. Furthermore, the Company continues to have line of sight to the future deployment of substantially all of the excess proceeds from the Thermal sale by the end of 2024 and expects to deliver at the upper range of its dividend growth target through 2026.”

Adjusted EBITDA and Cash Available for Distribution used in this press release are non-GAAP measures and are explained in greater detail under “Non-GAAP Financial Information” below.

For the first quarter of 2023, the Company reported Net Loss of $(40) million, Adjusted EBITDA of $218 million, Cash from Operating Activities of $75 million, and CAFD of $(4) million. Net Loss decreased versus 2022 primarily due to significantly higher mark to market losses for economic hedging activities in the prior year, which reflected an increase in LIBOR rates and an increase in commodity price curves in the first quarter of 2022. Adjusted EBITDA results in the first quarter of 2023 were lower than 2022 due to the disposition of the Thermal Business on May 1, 2022, the timing of spring outages at Conventional, and lower renewable production, partially offset by the contribution from growth investments. Cash from Operating Activities decreased versus 2022 primarily due to the disposition of the Thermal Business. CAFD results in the first quarter of 2023 were lower than 2022 primarily due to lower EBITDA, offset by lower project-level debt service at Conventional.

Operational Performance

Wind MWh generated/sold   2,744     2,259  
Renewables generated/sold2   3,610     3,319  


In the first quarter of 2023, availability at the Conventional segment was lower than the first quarter of 2022 primarily due to the timing of the planned spring outage at the El Segundo Energy Center facility. Generation in the Renewables segment during the first quarter of 2023 was 9% higher than the first quarter of 2022 primarily due to the contribution of growth investments.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

($ millions)   3/31/2023   12/31/2022
Cash and Cash Equivalents:        
Clearway Energy, Inc. and Clearway Energy LLC, excluding subsidiaries   $ 451   $ 536

Total Cash   $ 1,013   $ 996
Revolving credit facility availability     561     370
Total Liquidity   $ 1,574   $ 1,366


Total liquidity as of March 31, 2023, was $1,574 million, which was $208 million higher than as of December 31, 2022, primarily due to the refinancing of the revolving credit facility which increased its total capacity to $700 million from $495 million. This was partially offset by the execution of growth investments.

As of March 31, 2023, the Company’s liquidity included $437 million of restricted cash. Restricted cash consists primarily of funds to satisfy the requirements of certain debt arrangements and funds held within the Company’s projects that are restricted in their use. As of March 31, 2023, these restricted funds were comprised of $143 million designated to fund operating expenses, approximately $168 million designated for current debt service payments, and $97 million of reserves for debt service, performance obligations and other items including capital expenditures. The remaining $29 million is held in distribution reserve accounts.

Potential future sources of liquidity include excess operating cash flow, availability under the revolving credit facility, asset dispositions, and, subject to market conditions, new corporate debt and equity financings.

Growth Investments


Cedro Hill Repowering

On May 3, 2023, the Company entered into an agreement with Clearway Group to repower the Cedro Hill Wind project located in Bruni, Texas. The Company expects to invest approximately $63 million in net corporate capital, subject to closing adjustments. Contingent upon achieving repowering commercial operations in the second half of 2024, the 160 MW project will sell power to its existing counterparty, an investment grade utility, for an additional 15 years ending in 2045 under an amended power purchase agreement.

Financing Updates


Refinancing of the Revolving Credit Facility

On March 15, 2023, Clearway Energy Operating LLC refinanced the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, which (i) replaced LIBOR with SOFR plus a credit spread adjustment of 0.10% as the applicable reference rate, (ii) increased the available revolving commitments to an aggregate principal amount of $700 million, (iii) extended the maturity date to March 15, 2028, (iv) increased the letter of credit sub-limit to $594 million and (v) implemented certain other technical modifications. As of May 2, 2023, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility and $119 million in letters of credit outstanding.

Quarterly Dividend

On May 3, 2023, Clearway Energy, Inc.’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend on Class A and Class C common stock of $0.3818 per share payable on June 15, 2023, to stockholders of record as of June 1, 2023.

The Company anticipates that a portion of the dividends expected to be paid in 2023 and beyond may be treated as taxable for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The portion of dividends in future years that will be treated as taxable will depend upon a number of factors, including but not limited to, the Company’s overall performance and the gross amount of any dividends made to stockholders in 2023 and beyond.

Seasonality

Clearway Energy, Inc.’s quarterly operating results are impacted by seasonal factors, as well as weather variability which can impact renewable energy resource. Most of the Company’s revenues are generated from the months of May through September, as contracted pricing and renewable resources are at their highest levels in the Company’s portfolio. Factors driving the fluctuation in Net Income, Adjusted EBITDA, Cash from Operating Activities, and CAFD include the following:

  • Higher summer capacity prices from conventional assets;
  • Higher solar insolation during the summer months;
  • Higher wind resources during the spring and summer months;
  • Debt service payments which are made either quarterly or semi-annually;
  • Timing of maintenance capital expenditures and the impact of both unforced and forced outages; and
  • Timing of distributions from unconsolidated affiliates.

The Company takes into consideration the timing of these factors to ensure sufficient funds are available for distributions and operating activities on a quarterly basis.

Financial Guidance and Pro Forma CAFD Outlook

The Company is reaffirming 2023 full year CAFD guidance of $410 million. The Company’s 2023 financial guidance factors in the contribution of committed growth investments based on current expected closing timelines and estimates for merchant energy gross margin at the conventional fleet upon the expiry of their current toll contracts. 2023 CAFD guidance does not factor in the timing of when CAFD is realized from new growth investments pursuant to 5-year averages beyond 2023.

The Company is reiterating its pro forma CAFD outlook expectations of approximately $410 million

Financial guidance and the pro forma CAFD outlook continue to be based on median renewable energy production estimates for the full year.

Earnings Conference Call

On May 4, 2023, Clearway Energy, Inc. will host a conference call at 8:00 a.m. Eastern to discuss these results. Investors, the news media and others may access the live webcast of the conference call and accompanying presentation materials by logging on to Clearway Energy, Inc.’s website at http://www.clearwayenergy.com and clicking on “Presentations & Webcasts” under “Investor Relations.”

Non-GAAP Financial Information


EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Cash Available for Distribution (CAFD) are non-GAAP financial measures. These measurements are not recognized in accordance with GAAP and should not be viewed as an alternative to GAAP measures of performance. The presentation of non-GAAP financial measures should not be construed as an inference that Clearway Energy’s future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items.

EBITDA represents net income before interest (including loss on debt extinguishment), taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is presented because Clearway Energy considers it an important supplemental measure of its performance and believes debt and equity holders frequently use EBITDA to analyze operating performance and debt service capacity. EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our operating results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:

  • EBITDA does not reflect cash expenditures, or future requirements for capital expenditures, or contractual commitments;
  • EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, working capital needs;
  • EBITDA does not reflect the significant interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on debt or cash income tax payments;
  • Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements; and
  • Other companies in this industry may calculate EBITDA differently than Clearway Energy does, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.

Because of these limitations, EBITDA should not be considered as a measure of discretionary cash available to use to invest in the growth of Clearway Energy’s business. Clearway Energy compensates for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA only supplementally. See the statements of cash flow included in the financial statements that are a part of this news release.

Adjusted EBITDA is presented as a further supplemental measure of operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA adjusted for mark-to-market gains or losses, non-cash equity compensation expense, asset write offs and impairments; and factors which we do not consider indicative of future operating performance such as transition and integration related costs. The reader is encouraged to evaluate each adjustment and the reasons Clearway Energy considers it appropriate for supplemental analysis. As an analytical tool, Adjusted EBITDA is subject to all of the limitations applicable to EBITDA. In addition, in evaluating Adjusted EBITDA, the reader should be aware that in the future Clearway Energy may incur expenses similar to the adjustments in this news release.

Management believes Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors and other users of our financial statements in evaluating our operating performance because it provides them with an additional tool to compare business performance across companies and across periods. This measure is widely used by investors to measure a company’s operating performance without regard to items such as interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization, which can vary substantially from company to company depending upon accounting methods and book value of assets, capital structure and the method by which assets were acquired.

Additionally, Management believes that investors commonly adjust EBITDA information to eliminate the effect of restructuring and other expenses, which vary widely from company to company and impair comparability. As we define it, Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA adjusted for the effects of impairment losses, gains or losses on sales, non-cash equity compensation expense, dispositions or retirements of assets, any mark-to-market gains or losses from accounting for derivatives, adjustments to exclude gains or losses on the repurchase, modification or extinguishment of debt, and any extraordinary, unusual or non-recurring items plus adjustments to reflect the Adjusted EBITDA from our unconsolidated investments. We adjust for these items in our Adjusted EBITDA as our management believes that these items would distort their ability to efficiently view and assess our core operating trends.

In summary, our management uses Adjusted EBITDA as a measure of operating performance to assist in comparing performance from period to period on a consistent basis and to readily view operating trends, as a measure for planning and forecasting overall expectations and for evaluating actual results against such expectations, and in communications with our Board of Directors, shareholders, creditors, analysts and investors concerning our financial performance.


Cash Available for Distribution

A non-GAAP measure, Cash Available for Distribution is defined as of March 31, 2023 as Adjusted EBITDA plus cash distributions/return of investment from unconsolidated affiliates, cash receipts from notes receivable, cash distributions from noncontrolling interests, adjustments to reflect sales-type lease cash payments and payments for lease expenses, less cash distributions to noncontrolling interests, maintenance capital expenditures, pro-rata Adjusted EBITDA from unconsolidated affiliates, cash interest paid, income taxes paid, principal amortization of indebtedness, changes in prepaid and accrued capacity payments, and adjusted for development expenses. Management believes CAFD is a relevant supplemental measure of the Company’s ability to earn and distribute cash returns to investors.

We believe CAFD is useful to investors in evaluating our operating performance because securities analysts and other interested parties use such calculations as a measure of our ability to make quarterly distributions. In addition, CAFD is used by our management team for determining future acquisitions and managing our growth. The GAAP measure most directly comparable to CAFD is cash provided by operating activities.

However, CAFD has limitations as an analytical tool because it does not include changes in operating assets and liabilities and excludes the effect of certain other cash flow items, all of which could have a material effect on our financial condition and results from operations. CAFD is a non-GAAP measure and should not be considered an alternative to cash provided by operating activities or any other performance or liquidity measure determined in accordance with GAAP, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs. In addition, our calculations of CAFD are not necessarily comparable to CAFD as calculated by other companies. Investors should not rely on these measures as a substitute for any GAAP measure, including cash provided by operating activities.

HF Sinclair Corporation (NYSE: DINO) (“HF Sinclair” or the “Company”) today reported first quarter net income attributable to HF Sinclair stockholders of $353.3 million, or $1.79 per diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, compared to $160.0 million, or $0.90 per diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2022. Excluding the adjustments shown in the accompanying earnings release table, adjusted net income attributable to HF Sinclair stockholders for the first quarter of 2023 was $394.1 million, or $2.00 per diluted share, compared to $175.6 million, or $0.99 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2022, which excludes certain items that collectively decreased net income by $15.7 million.

HF Sinclair’s incoming CEO, Tim Go, commented, “HF Sinclair delivered strong first quarter results, despite heavy planned turnaround activity in the quarter. We returned over $333 million in cash to shareholders through buybacks and dividends, demonstrating our commitment to our capital return strategy. As we enter summer driving season, we are focused on safe and reliable operations and further integrating the Sinclair assets so that we are well positioned for success in all of our business segments.

“Today we also announced a non-binding offer to purchase all outstanding common units of HEP not already owned by HF Sinclair (the “Proposed HEP Transaction”). We believe the Proposed HEP Transaction simplifies HF Sinclair’s corporate structure, reduces costs and further supports the integration and optimization of our portfolio.”

Refining segment income before interest and income taxes was $441.0 million for the first quarter of 2023 compared to $113.1 million for the first quarter of 2022. The segment reported EBITDA of $544.1 million for the first quarter of 2023 compared to $207.7 million for the first quarter of 2022. This increase was primarily driven by higher refining margins in both the West and Mid-Continent regions, which resulted in higher refining segment earnings in the quarter. Consolidated refinery gross margin was $23.70 per produced barrel, an 87% increase compared to $12.69 for the first quarter of 2022. Crude oil charge averaged 498,500 barrels per day (“BPD”) for the first quarter of 2023 compared to 525,080 BPD for the first quarter of 2022. This decrease was primarily a result of turnarounds at our Puget Sound, El Dorado and Woods Cross refineries in the first quarter of 2023.

Renewables segment loss before interest and income taxes was $(64.6) million for the first quarter of 2023 compared to $(22.1) million for the first quarter of 2022. The segment reported Adjusted EBITDA of $3.0 million for the first quarter of 2023 compared to $(24.9) million for the first quarter of 2022. Total sales volumes were 46 million gallons for the first quarter of 2023 as compared to 5 million gallons for the first quarter of 2022.

Marketing segment income before interest and income taxes was $0.5 million for the first quarter of 2023 compared to $5.3 million for the first quarter of 2022 and reported EBITDA of $6.4 million for the first quarter of 2023 compared to $5.8 million for the first quarter of 2022. Total branded fuel sales volumes were 328 million gallons for the first quarter of 2023 as compared to 85 million gallons for the first quarter of 2022.

Lubricants and Specialty Products segment income before interest and income taxes was $78.5 million for the first quarter of 2023 compared to $124.7 million in the first quarter of 2022. The segment reported EBITDA of $98.5 million for the first quarter of 2023 compared to $145.3 million in the first quarter of 2022. This decrease was largely driven by the positive FIFO impact from consumption of lower priced feedstock inventory in the first quarter of 2022.

Holly Energy Partners, L.P. (“HEP”) reported EBITDA of $87.8 million for the first quarter of 2023 compared to $72.8 million for the first quarter of 2022 and Adjusted EBITDA of $108.4 million for the first quarter of 2023 compared to $85.3 million for the first quarter of 2022.

For the first quarter of 2023, net cash provided by operations totaled $177.7 million. At March 31, 2023, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents totaled $1,364.9 million, a $300.1 million decrease over cash and cash equivalents of $1,665.1 million at December 31, 2022. During the first quarter of 2023, the Company announced and paid a regular dividend of $0.45 per share to shareholders totaling $88.0 million and spent $245.6 million on share repurchases. Additionally, the Company’s consolidated debt was $3,240.2 million. The Company’s debt, exclusive of HEP debt, which is nonrecourse to HF Sinclair, was $1,699.9 million at March 31, 2023.

Refining Segment Operating Data

The following tables set forth information, including non-GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) performance measures about our refinery operations. Refinery gross and net operating margins do not include the non-cash effects of lower of cost or market inventory valuation adjustments and depreciation and amortization. Reconciliations to amounts reported under GAAP are provided under “Reconciliations to Amounts Reported Under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” below.

The disaggregation of our refining geographic operating data is presented in two regions, Mid-Continent and West, to best reflect the economic drivers of our refining operations. The Mid-Continent region is comprised of the El Dorado and Tulsa refineries. The West region is comprised of the Puget Sound, Navajo, Woods Cross, Parco and Casper refineries. The refinery operations of the Parco and Casper refineries are included for the period March 14, 2022 (date of acquisition) through March 31, 2023.

Reconciliations to Amounts Reported Under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles

Reconciliations of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) and EBITDA excluding special items (“Adjusted EBITDA”) to amounts reported under generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in financial statements.

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, referred to as EBITDA, is calculated as net income attributable to HF Sinclair stockholders plus (i) interest expense, net of interest income, (ii) income tax provision and (iii) depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as EBITDA plus or minus (i) lower of cost or market inventory valuation adjustments, (ii) decommissioning costs, (iii) HF Sinclair’s pro-rata share of HEP’s share of Osage environmental remediation costs and (iv) acquisition integration and regulatory costs.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not calculations provided for under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States; however, the amounts included in these calculations are derived from amounts included in our consolidated financial statements. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as alternatives to net income or operating income as an indication of our operating performance or as an alternative to operating cash flow as a measure of liquidity. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. These are presented here because they are widely used financial indicators used by investors and analysts to measure performance. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are also used by our management for internal analysis and as a basis for financial covenants.

Set forth below is our calculation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA.

Reconciliations of refinery operating information (non-GAAP performance measures) to amounts reported under generally accepted accounting principles in financial statements.

Refinery gross margin and net operating margin are non-GAAP performance measures that are used by our management and others to compare our refining performance to that of other companies in our industry. We believe these margin measures are helpful to investors in evaluating our refining performance on a relative and absolute basis. Refinery gross margin per produced barrel sold is total Refining segment revenues less total Refining segment cost of products sold, exclusive of lower of cost or market inventory valuation adjustments, divided by sales volumes of produced refined products sold. Net operating margin per barrel sold is the difference between refinery gross margin and refinery operating expenses per produced barrel sold. These two margins do not include the non-cash effects of lower of cost or market inventory valuation adjustments or depreciation and amortization. Each of these component performance measures can be reconciled directly to our consolidated statements of operations. Other companies in our industry may not calculate these performance measures in the same manner.

Non-GAAP income tax expense is computed by (a) adjusting HF Sinclair’s consolidated estimated Annual Effective Tax Rate (“AETR”) for GAAP purposes for the effects of the above Non-GAAP adjustments, (b) applying the resulting Adjusted Non-GAAP AETR to Non-GAAP adjusted income before income taxes and (c) adjusting for discrete tax items applicable to the period.

 

(3)

Adjusted earnings per share – diluted is calculated as adjusted net income attributable to HF Sinclair stockholders divided by the average number of shares of common stock outstanding assuming dilution, which is based on weighted-average diluted shares outstanding as that used in the GAAP diluted earnings per share calculation. Income allocated to participating securities, if applicable, in the adjusted earnings per share calculation is calculated the same way as that used in GAAP diluted earnings per share calculation.

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure. Refer to the “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section for more information. The Company is not providing a quantitative reconciliation of its financial outlook for Adjusted EBITDA to net (loss) income, its corresponding GAAP measure, because the GAAP measure that is excluded from its non-GAAP financial outlook is difficult to reliably predict or estimate without unreasonable effort due to its dependence on future uncertainties, such as items discussed below. Additionally, information that is currently not available to the Company could have a potentially unpredictable & potentially significant impact on its future GAAP financial results.

For the second quarter of fiscal 2023, total revenue decreased 8.6% to $650.4 million driven by a decrease of $77.4 million in organic revenue from snow removal services year-over-year associated with the lower snowfall in the period. The decrease in revenue was partially offset by a $17.1 million revenue contribution from acquired businesses.

For the six months ended March 31, 2023, total revenue increased 0.2% to $1,306.3 million driven by $48.4 million revenue contribution from acquired businesses, or 3.7% of the total percentage increase year-over-year and $11.7 million, or 1.6% Maintenance Land organic growth. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of $59.2 million in snow removal services organic revenues year-over-year associated with the lower snowfall in the period.

For the second quarter of fiscal 2023, revenue in the Maintenance Services Segment decreased by $55.6 million, or 10.0%, from the 2022 period. The decrease was driven by a decrease of $69.4 million in snow removal services due to lower snowfall, net of $8.0 million from acquired businesses. Snowfall for the period was 50.1% of the weighted-average historical volume (relative to the 10-year historical average as defined by NOAA1 for the Company’s footprint during the respective three-month periods). Partially offsetting this was a $13.8 million increase in landscape services revenue consisting of an $8.3 million contribution from acquired businesses and an increase of $5.5 million, or 1.6%, in underlying commercial landscape services underpinned by contract services growth.

Adjusted EBITDA for the Maintenance Services Segment for the three months ended March 31, 2023 decreased by $11.2 million to $51.7 million from $62.9 million in the 2022 period. Segment Adjusted EBITDA Margin decreased 100 basis points, to 10.4%, in the three months ended March 31, 2023, from 11.4% in the 2022 period. The decreases in Segment Adjusted EBITDA and Segment Adjusted EBITDA Margin were driven by the decrease in snow removal services revenues described above, partially offset by an increased contribution from both contract and ancillary services.

For the six months ended March 31, 2023, Maintenance Services net service revenues decreased by $10.5 million, or 1.1%, from the 2022 period. The decrease was driven by a decrease of $43.6 million in snow removal services due to lower snowfall, net of $15.6 million from acquired businesses. Snowfall for the period was 62.0% of the weighted-average historical volume (relative to the 10-year historical average as defined by NOAA1 for the Company’s footprint during the respective six-month periods). Partially offsetting this was a $33.1 million increase in landscape services revenue consisting of a $21.4 million contribution from acquired businesses and an increase of $11.7 million, or 1.6%, in underlying commercial landscape services underpinned by contract services growth.

Adjusted EBITDA for the Maintenance Services Segment for the six months ended March 31, 2023 decreased by $6.0 million to $102.2 million from $108.2 million in the 2022 period. Segment Adjusted EBITDA Margin decreased 50 basis points, to 10.4%, in the six months ended March 31, 2023, from 10.9% in the 2022 period. The decreases in Segment Adjusted EBITDA and Segment Adjusted EBITDA Margin were driven by the decrease in snow removal services revenues described above, partially offset by an increased contribution from both contract and ancillary services.

For the second quarter of fiscal 2023, revenue in the Development Services Segment decreased by $4.1 million, or 2.6%, compared to the prior year. The decrease was principally driven by Development Services project volumes of $4.9 million, partially offset by $0.8 million of revenue contributions from acquired businesses.

Adjusted EBITDA for the Development Services Segment for the three months ended March 31, 2023 increased $0.3 million, to $13.1 million, compared to the 2022 period. Segment Adjusted EBITDA Margin increased 40 basis points, to 8.4% for the quarter from 8.0% in the prior year. The increases in Segment Adjusted EBITDA and Segment Adjusted EBITDA Margin were primarily driven by the mix of projects relative to the prior year coupled with disciplined management of materials costs.

For the six months ended March 31, 2023, revenue in the Development Services Segment increased $15.5 million, or 4.9%, compared to the 2022 period. The increase was principally driven by an $11.4 million revenue contribution from acquired businesses combined with an increase of $4.1 million due to additional project volumes.

Adjusted EBITDA for the Development Services Segment for the six months ended March 31, 2023 increased $2.3 million, to $29.6 million in the prior year. Segment Adjusted EBITDA Margin increased 30 basis points, to 9.0% for the period from 8.7% in the 2022 period. Segment Adjusted EBITDA and Segment Adjusted EBITDA Margin increased principally due to the increase in revenues described above.

Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended March 31, 2023 increased $12.7 million, to $55.0 million, from $42.3 million in the 2022 period. This increase was due to an increase in cash provided by other operating assets and decreases in cash used by accounts payable and other operating liabilities and cash used by accounts receivable. This was partially offset by a decrease in the cash provided by unbilled and deferred revenue.

Free Cash Flow increased $35.2 million to an inflow of $15.9 million for the six months ended March 31, 2023 from an outflow of $19.3 million in the prior year. The increase in Free Cash Flow was due to an increase in net cash provided by operating activities, as described above, coupled with a decrease in cash used for capital expenditures, as described below.

For the six months ended March 31, 2023, capital expenditures were $42.7 million, compared with $64.2 million in the prior year. The Company also generated proceeds from the sale of property and equipment of $3.6 million and $2.6 million during the six months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Net of the proceeds from the sale of property and equipment, net capital expenditures represented 3.0% of revenue in the six months ended March 31, 2023, a decrease of 170 bps compared to 4.7% for the six months ended March 31, 2022.

Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected include, but are not limited to: general business economic and financial conditions, including recessionary conditions; higher operational and supply costs and expenses due to inflation, and our inability to pass higher costs and expenses onto our customers through price increases; competitive industry pressures; the failure to retain current customers, renew existing customer contracts and obtain new customer contracts; the failure to enter into profitable contracts, or maintaining customer contracts that are unprofitable; a determination by customers to reduce their outsourcing or use of preferred vendors; the dispersed nature of our operating structure; our ability to implement our business strategies and achieve our growth objectives; the possibility that the anticipated benefits from our business acquisitions will not be realized in full or at all or may take longer to realize than expected; the possibility that costs or difficulties related to the integration of acquired businesses’ operations will be greater than expected and the possibility that integration efforts will disrupt our business and strain management time and resources; the seasonal nature of our landscape maintenance services; our dependence on weather conditions and the impact of severe weather and climate change on our business; increases in prices for raw materials, labor and fuel caused by rising inflation or otherwise; disruptions in our supply chain and changes in our ability to source adequate supplies and materials in a timely manner; the duration and extent of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and its resurgence, and the impact of federal, state and local governmental actions and customer behavior in response to the pandemic, including possible additional or reinstated restrictions as a result of a resurgence of the pandemic; any failure to accurately estimate the overall risk, requirements, or costs when we bid on or negotiate contracts that are ultimately awarded to us; the conditions and periodic fluctuations of real estate markets, including residential and commercial construction; our ability to retain or hire our executive management and other key personnel; our ability to attract and retain field and hourly employees, trained workers and third-party contractors and re-employ seasonal workers; any failure to properly verify employment eligibility of our employees; subcontractors taking actions that harm our business; our recognition of future impairment charges; laws and governmental regulations, including those relating to employees, wage and hour, immigration, human health and safety and transportation; environmental, health and safety laws and regulations, including regulatory costs, claims and litigation related to the use of chemicals and pesticides by employees and related third-party claims; our ability to pursue and achieve our environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) focus area goals; unexpected delays, difficulties, and expenses encountered or incurred in pursuing our ESG goals and costs and requirements imposed as a result of maintaining the requirement of being a public company; the distraction and impact caused by litigation, of adverse litigation judgments and settlements resulting from legal proceedings; increase in on-job accidents involving employees; any failure, inadequacy, interruption, security failure or breach of our information technology systems; our ability to adequately protect our intellectual property; restrictions imposed by our debt agreements that limit our flexibility in operating our business; our ability to generate sufficient cash flow to satisfy our significant debt service obligations; our ability to obtain additional financing to fund future working capital, capital expenditures, investments or acquisitions, or other general corporate requirements; increases in interest rates governing our variable rate indebtedness increasing the cost of servicing our substantial indebtedness including changes related to LIBOR reform; any future sales, or the perception of future sales, by us or our affiliates, which could cause the market price for our common stock to decline; the ability of KKR BrightView Aggregator L.P., which holds approximately 54% of our shares as of March 31, 2023, to exert significant influence over us; occurrence of natural disasters, terrorist attacks, geopolitical events, hostilities or other external events; changes in generally accepted accounting principles in the United States; and costs and requirements imposed as a result of maintaining compliance with the requirement of being a public company. Additional factors that could cause our results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements can be found under “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022 as such factors may be updated from time to time in our periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), which are accessible on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Accordingly, there are or will be important factors that could cause actual outcomes or results to differ materially from those indicated in these statements. These factors should not be construed as exhaustive and should be read in conjunction with the other cautionary statements that are included in this release and in our filings with the SEC. Any forward-looking statement made in this press release speaks only as of the date on which it was made. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or review any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as required by law.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement the Company’s financial information presented in accordance with GAAP and aid understanding of the Company’s business performance, the Company uses certain non-GAAP financial measures, namely “Adjusted EBITDA”, “Adjusted EBITDA Margin”, “Adjusted Net (Loss) Income”, “Adjusted (Loss) Earnings per Share”, “Free Cash Flow”, “Total Financial Debt”, “Total Net Financial Debt” and “Total Net Financial Debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio”. We believe Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net (Loss) Income, Adjusted (Loss) Earnings per Share, Free Cash Flow, Total Financial Debt, Total Net Financial Debt, and Total Net Financial Debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio assist investors in comparing our results across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors in highlighting trends in our operating performance, while other measures can differ significantly depending on long-term strategic decisions regarding capital structure, the tax jurisdictions in which we operate and capital investments. Management regularly uses these measures as tools in evaluating our operating performance, financial performance and liquidity. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net (Loss) Income, Adjusted (Loss) Earnings per Share, Free Cash Flow, Total Financial Debt, Total Net Financial Debt, and Total Net Financial Debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio to supplement comparable GAAP measures in the evaluation of the effectiveness of our business strategies, to make budgeting decisions, to establish discretionary annual incentive compensation and to compare our performance against that of other peer companies using similar measures. In addition, we believe that Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net (Loss) Income, Adjusted (Loss) Earnings per Share, Free Cash Flow, Total Financial Debt, Total Net Financial Debt, and Total Net Financial Debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio are frequently used by investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of issuers, many of which also present Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net (Loss) Income, Adjusted (Loss) Earnings per Share, Free Cash Flow, Total Financial Debt, Total Net Financial Debt, and Total Net Financial Debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio when reporting their results in an effort to facilitate an understanding of their operating and financial results and liquidity. Management supplements GAAP results with non-GAAP financial measures to provide a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting the business than GAAP results alone.

Adjusted EBITDA: We define Adjusted EBITDA as net (loss) income before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, as further adjusted to exclude certain non-cash, non-recurring and other adjustment items.

Adjusted EBITDA Margin: We define Adjusted EBITDA Margin as Adjusted EBITDA, defined above, divided by Net Service Revenues.

Adjusted Net (Loss) Income: We define Adjusted Net (Loss) Income as net (loss) income including interest and depreciation, and excluding other items used to calculate Adjusted EBITDA and further adjusted for the tax effect of these exclusions and the removal of the discrete tax items.

Adjusted (Loss) Earnings per Share: We define Adjusted (Loss) Earnings per Share as Adjusted Net (Loss) Income divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period.

Free Cash Flow: We define Free Cash Flow as cash flows from operating activities less capital expenditures, net of proceeds from the sale of property and equipment.

Total Financial Debt: We define Total Financial Debt as total long-term debt, net of original issue discount, and finance/capital lease obligations.

Total Net Financial Debt: We define Total Net Financial Debt as Total Financial Debt minus total cash and cash equivalents.

Total Net Financial Debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio: We define Total Net Financial Debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio as Total Net Financial Debt divided by the trailing twelve month Adjusted EBITDA.

Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net (Loss) Income, Adjusted (Loss) Earnings per Share, Free Cash Flow, Total Financial Debt, Total Net Financial Debt, and Total Net Financial Debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio are not recognized terms under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net (loss) income or the ratio of net (loss) income to net revenue as a measure of financial performance, cash flows provided by operating activities as a measure of liquidity, or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP. Additionally, these measures are not intended to be a measure of free cash flow available for management’s discretionary use as they do not consider certain cash requirements such as interest payments, tax payments and debt service requirements. The presentations of these measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Because not all companies use identical calculations, the presentations of these measures may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies and can differ significantly from company to company.

Holly Energy Partners, L.P. Reports First Quarter Results

Holly Energy Partners, L.P. Reports First Quarter Results

  • Reported net income attributable to HEP of $57.5 million or $0.45 per unit

  • Announced quarterly distribution of $0.35 per unit

  • Reported EBITDA of $87.8 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $108.4 million

DALLAS–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Holly Energy Partners, L.P. (“HEP” or the “Partnership”) (NYSE: HEP) today reported financial results for the first quarter of 2023. Net income attributable to HEP for the first quarter of 2023 was $57.5 million ($0.45 per basic and diluted limited partner unit), compared to $49.6 million ($0.45 per basic and diluted limited partner unit) for the first quarter of 2022.

The increase in net income attributable to HEP was mainly due to net income from Sinclair Transportation Company LLC (“Sinclair Transportation”), which was acquired on March 14, 2022, as well as higher revenues from our Woods Cross refinery processing units, partially offset by higher interest expense.

Distributable cash flow was $83.9 million for the first quarter of 2023, an increase of $19.5 million, or 30.2%, compared to the first quarter of 2022. The increase was mainly due to distributable cash flow from Sinclair Transportation, partially offset by higher interest expense. HEP declared a quarterly cash distribution of $0.35 per unit on April 20, 2023.

Commenting on our 2023 first quarter results, Michael Jennings, Chief Executive Officer and President, stated, “HEP generated solid results during the quarter, supported by safe and reliable operations and strong volumes in both our crude and refined product transportation and storage systems. In April, we announced a quarterly distribution of $0.35 per unit.”

First Quarter 2023 Revenue Highlights

Revenues for the first quarter of 2023 were $143.3 million, an increase of $23.1 million compared to the first quarter of 2022. The increase was mainly due to revenues from our Sinclair Transportation assets, higher revenues on our Woods Cross refinery processing units, which were down for a scheduled turnaround in March 2022, and rate increases that went into effect on July 1, 2022, partially offset by lower revenues on our product pipelines servicing HF Sinclair Corporation’s (“HF Sinclair”) Navajo refinery.

  • Revenues from our refined product pipelines were $25.2 million, a decrease of $0.9 million compared to the first quarter of 2022. Shipments averaged 183.4 thousand barrels per day (“mbpd”) compared to 156.2 mbpd for the first quarter of 2022. The volume increase was mainly due to higher volumes on the acquired Sinclair Transportation product pipelines. The decrease in revenues was mainly due to lower volumes on our product pipelines serving HF Sinclair’s Navajo refinery. Revenues were lower in proportion to volumes due to our recognition of a significant portion of the Sinclair Transportation refined product pipeline tariffs as interest income under sales-type lease accounting.

  • Revenues from our intermediate pipelines were $8.3 million, an increase of $0.8 million compared to the first quarter of 2022. Shipments averaged 114.3 mbpd for the first quarter of 2023 compared to 117.8 mbpd for the first quarter of 2022. The increase in revenue was mainly due to rate increases that went into effect on July 1, 2022.

  • Revenues from our crude pipelines were $37.1 million, an increase of $5.9 million compared to the first quarter of 2022. Shipments averaged 649.7 mbpd compared to 527.2 mbpd for the first quarter of 2022. The increase in volumes was mainly attributable to the acquired Sinclair Transportation crude pipelines and higher volumes on our crude pipeline systems in New Mexico and Texas. The increase in revenues was mainly due to the acquired Sinclair Transportation crude pipelines, higher volumes on our crude pipeline systems in New Mexico and Texas and rate increases that went into effect on July 1, 2022.

  • Revenues from terminal, tankage and loading rack fees were $46.2 million, an increase of $9.2 million compared to the first quarter of 2022. Refined products and crude oil terminalled in the facilities averaged 729.3 mbpd compared to 494.4 mbpd for the first quarter of 2022. The increase in volumes was mainly due to the acquired Sinclair Transportation assets. Revenues increased mainly due to revenues on the acquired Sinclair Transportation assets and rate increases that went into effect on July 1, 2022.

  • Revenues from refinery processing units were $26.5 million, an increase of $8.1 million compared to the first quarter of 2022, and throughputs averaged 53.3 mbpd compared to 65.2 mbpd for the first quarter of 2022. Revenues increased mainly due to higher revenues from our Woods Cross refinery processing units, which were down for a scheduled turnaround in March 2022, as well as rate increases that went into effect on July 1, 2022. The decrease in volumes was due to maintenance at the El Dorado refinery.

Operating Costs and Expenses Highlights

Operating costs and expenses were $81.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, representing an increase of $12.3 million from the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase was mainly due to operating costs and expenses associated with the acquired Sinclair Transportation assets, higher employee costs, higher natural gas costs and turnaround amortization costs.

Interest Expense and Interest Income Highlights

Interest expense was $26.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, representing an increase of $12.3 million over the same period of 2022. The increase was mainly due to our April 2022 issuance of $400 million aggregate principal amount of 6.375% senior unsecured notes maturing in April 2027, the proceeds of which were used to partially repay outstanding borrowings under our senior secured credit facility following the funding of the cash portion of the Sinclair Transportation acquisition. In addition, market interest rates increased on our senior secured revolving credit facility.

Interest income was $20.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, representing an increase of $7.8 million compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase was mainly due to higher sales-type lease interest income from the acquired Sinclair Transportation pipelines and terminals.

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) is calculated as net income attributable to Holly Energy Partners plus or minus (i) interest expense, (ii) interest income, (iii) state income tax expense and (iv) depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as EBITDA plus or minus (i) our share of Osage environmental remediation costs included in equity in earnings of equity method investments, (ii) acquisition integration and regulatory costs, (iii) tariffs and fees not included in revenues due to impacts from lease accounting for certain tariffs and fees and (iv) pipeline lease payments not included in operating costs and expenses. Portions of our minimum guaranteed tariffs for assets subject to sales-type lease accounting are recorded as interest income with the remaining amounts recorded as a reduction in net investment in leases. Similarly, certain pipeline lease payments were previously recorded as operating costs and expenses, but the underlying lease was reclassified from an operating lease to a financing lease, and these payments are now recorded as interest expense and reductions in the lease liability. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not calculations based upon generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). However, the amounts included in the EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA calculations are derived from amounts included in our consolidated financial statements. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as alternatives to net income attributable to Holly Energy Partners or operating income, as indications of our operating performance or as alternatives to operating cash flow as a measure of liquidity. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are presented here because they are widely used financial indicators used by investors and analysts to measure performance. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are also used by our management for internal analysis and as a basis for compliance with financial covenants.

 

Set forth below is our calculation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA.

Distributable cash flow should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net income attributable to Holly Energy Partners or operating income, as an indication of our operating performance, or as an alternative to operating cash flow as a measure of liquidity. Distributable cash flow is not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Distributable cash flow is presented here because it is a widely accepted financial indicator used by investors to compare partnership performance. It is also used by management for internal analysis and our performance units. We believe that this measure provides investors an enhanced perspective of the operating performance of our assets and the cash our business is generating.

 

Set forth below is our calculation of distributable cash flow.

Cognex Reports First Quarter 2023 Results

Cognex Reports First Quarter 2023 Results

NATICK, Mass.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Cognex Corporation (NASDAQ: CGNX) today reported financial results for the first quarter of 2023. Table 1 below shows selected financial data for Q1-23 compared with Q1-22.

“As expected, in the first quarter our largest e-commerce customers continued to absorb excess capacity and our factory automation customers remained cautious with capital investment,” said Robert J. Willett, CEO of Cognex. “While we slightly exceeded our revenue guidance for the quarter, these demand dynamics led to a significant step down from our record first quarter of 2022.”

Mr. Willett continued, “This macro uncertainty did not distract us from what is important. We launched new industry-leading products and made important strides to position us for long-term growth.”

Details of the Quarter

Statement of Operations Highlights – First Quarter of 2023

  • Revenue decreased by 29% from record first-quarter revenue in Q1-22. The decrease was 26% in constant currency. Revenue declined due to lower capacity expansion projects from a few large e-commerce customers and the impact of broader macroeconomic softness compared to a year ago. In addition, Q1-22 included $20 million of revenue for orders that had been delayed at the end of 2021 due to supply constraints.

  • Gross margin was 71% for Q1-23 compared to 72% for Q1-22. This was below our mid-70% target as high-priced inventory from premium broker buys continued to flow through our cost of revenue. The slight year-on-year decrease was primarily driven by cost deleverage from lower revenue.

  • Research, Development, & Engineering (RD&E) expenses increased by 7% from Q1-22. Increases in personnel-related costs, primarily from investment in engineering resources and annual merit increases, were partially offset by favorable currency exchange rates.

  • Selling, General & Administrative (SG&A) expenses increased by 3% from Q1-22. Increases in personnel-related costs, primarily from investment in our Emerging Customer initiative, was partially offset by favorable currency exchange rates.

  • The effective tax rate was 2% in Q1-23 and 23% in Q1-22. Excluding the impact of discrete tax benefits or expenses, the effective tax rate was 16% in both periods.

Balance Sheet Highlights – April 2, 2023

  • Cognex’s financial position as of April 2, 2023continued to be strong, with $844 million in cash and investments and no debt. In Q1-23, Cognex generated $28 million in cash from operations. In addition, the company spent $24 million to repurchase its common stock and paid $12 million in dividends to shareholders. Cognex intends to continue to repurchase shares of its common stock pursuant to its existing stock repurchase program, subject to market conditions and other relevant factors.

Financial Outlook – Q2 2023

  • Cognex expects revenue for Q2-23 to be between $225 million and $245 million. This range represents an increase on a sequential basis due to the normal timing of annual revenue from consumer electronics and an expected pick-up in activity in China. The decline year-on-year is due to the expected continuation of lower revenue from logistics and cautiousness in capital spending by our customers.

  • Gross margin for Q2-23 is expected to be in the company’s mid-70% long-term target range, an increase from 71% in Q1-23 as we move beyond the elevated costs from premium broker buys and expect a more favorable revenue mix.

  • Operating expenses are expected to increase by low-single digits on a sequential basis as we expect that investments in the company’s Emerging Customer initiative will be partially offset by lower stock-based compensation.

  • The effective tax rate is expected to be 16%, excluding discrete tax items.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

  • Exhibit 2 of this news release includes a reconciliation of certain financial measures from GAAP to non-GAAP. Cognex believes these non-GAAP financial measures are helpful because they allow investors to more accurately compare results over multiple periods using the same methodology that management employs in its budgeting process and in its review of operating results. Non-GAAP presentations exclude certain one-time discrete events, such as discrete tax items related to stock-based compensation, adjustments to deferred tax assets and tax reserves, and return-to-provision adjustments (because they are outside of Cognex’s normal business operations and not used by management to assess Cognex’s operating results). Cognex also uses results on a constant-currency basis as one measure to evaluate its performance and compares results between periods as if the exchange rates had remained constant period-over-period. Cognex does not intend for non-GAAP financial measures to be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for financial information provided in accordance with GAAP.

  • We estimate the tax effect of items identified in the reconciliation by applying the effective tax rate to the pre-tax amount. However, if a specific tax rate or tax treatment is required because of the nature of the item and/or the tax jurisdiction where the item was recorded, we estimate the tax effect by applying the relevant specific tax rate or tax treatment, rather than the effective tax rate.

Additionally, we continue to anticipate submission of our first U.S. New Drug Application for mavorixafor early in the second half of the year. We are also continuing to advance mavorixafor through a Phase 2 clinical trial in people with certain chronic neutropenic disorders and expect to provide clinical and regulatory path updates in the second or third quarter of this year.”


Recent and Key Anticipated Upcoming Milestones


Additional Data from the Phase 3 4WHIM Trial to be Presented at Upcoming CIS Meeting:

  • In late 2022, the company announced that its Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating once-daily, oral mavorixafor in people with WHIM (Warts, Hypogammaglobulinemia, Infections, and Myelokathexis) syndrome met its primary endpoint and first key secondary endpoint, with mavorixafor achieving statistically significant and clinically relevant longer times above threshold levels for both absolute neutrophil and absolute lymphocyte counts versus placebo and demonstrating good tolerability in the trial.
  • Subsequently, X4 announced that its submitted late-breaker abstract, entitled “Results of a Phase 3 Trial of an Oral CXCR4 Antagonist, Mavorixafor, for Treatment of Patients With WHIM Syndrome,” was accepted for oral presentation at the Annual Meeting of the Clinical Immunology Society (CIS), which is taking place May 18-21, 2023, in St. Louis, MO.
    • Dr. Raffaele Badolato, Professor of Pediatrics at the University of Brescia (Italy) and an investigator in the 4WHIM clinical trial, will present at 11:30 am CT on Sunday, May 21. Although the session will only be accessible live to conference attendees, X4 will post the slides on its website concurrent with the presentation.

Advancing Mavorixafor in Chronic Neutropenic Disorders
:

  • In September 2022, X4 presented positive data from a Phase 1b clinical trial demonstrating the ability of one dose of oral mavorixafor to increase and normalize absolute neutrophil counts (ANC) in people with idiopathic, cyclic, or congenital chronic neutropenia as monotherapy or administered concurrently with injectable granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF).
  • The Phase 1b trial has been expanded into a Phase 2 clinical trial to assess the long-term durability, safety, and tolerability of oral mavorixafor in a larger population with idiopathic, cyclic, or congenital chronic neutropenia. Participants are currently being enrolled in this Phase 2 trial and X4 anticipates announcing clinical data and clarity on the scope and timing of the expected Phase 3 clinical program for mavorixafor in these Chronic Neutropenic disorders in the second or third quarter of 2023.
  • X4 also announced today that its abstract, entitled “Incidence of Serious Infection Events in People With Chronic Neutropenia—Analysis of Real-World Data From Patients in the United States,” was accepted for poster presentation at CIS on Saturday, May 20, 2023 at 1:30 pm CT. This poster will be added to the publications section of the X4 website at the time of the presentation.

About X4 Pharmaceuticals

X4 Pharmaceuticals is a late-stage clinical biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery and development of novel therapies for people with rare diseases of the immune system. Our lead clinical candidate is mavorixafor, a small molecule antagonist of chemokine receptor CXCR4 that is being developed as an oral, once-daily therapy. Due to its ability to increase the mobilization of mature, functional white blood cells from the bone marrow into the bloodstream, we believe that mavorixafor has the potential to provide therapeutic benefit across a variety of chronic neutropenic disorders, including WHIM (Warts, Hypogammaglobulinemia, Infections, and Myelokathexis) syndrome, a rare, primary immunodeficiency. Following announcement of positive top-line data from our global, pivotal, 4WHIM Phase 3 clinical trial, we are currently preparing a U.S. regulatory submission seeking approval of oral, once-daily mavorixafor in the treatment of people aged 12 years and older with WHIM syndrome. We are also currently evaluating mavorixafor in a Phase 2 clinical trial in people with certain chronic neutropenic disorders following positive results from a Phase 1b clinical trial of mavorixafor in people with congenital, idiopathic, or cyclic neutropenia. We continue to leverage our insights into CXCR4 and immune system biology at our corporate headquarters in Boston, Massachusetts and at our research center of excellence in Vienna, Austria.
