Management Commentary

"The resilience and diversity of our core Specialty business was again demonstrated with this segment generating both profit and margin growth year-over-year, as Gross profit and Adjusted gross profit per barrel improved 7.2% and 13.3%, respectively versus last year's third quarter. Year to date, Specialty products segment Adjusted EBITDA of $176.6 million is trending 7% ahead of last year's results through the first three quarters. Growth in Specialty profitability was achieved despite the ongoing uncertainty and uneven pace of recovery due to COVID-19. Demand for consumer-facing specialties has held up well throughout the pandemic. However, this quarter was also notable for the material recovery in demand for our industrial specialties, reflected in improved sales volumes versus last quarter. Specialty products segment Adjusted EBITDA margin for the quarter of 19.9% was 540 basis points higher than last year's third quarter due to our commercial excellence and margin management focus. The increase in industrial specialty volumes did result in some quarter-over-quarter mix impact on segment margins; but overall specialty margins and profit levels remain well ahead of last year, and at or above our expectations. We believe this is a notable and impressive result given the macro backdrop."

Mawer continued, "The macro backdrop remains challenging for our Fuels business, but we are cautiously encouraged by the recent signs of recovering demand and falling product inventories. However, despite the external market environment, we remain intent on managing what we can control in that segment, whether that be from maximizing the value of our local niches, tactically accelerating maintenance work, or further enhancing the integration of our facilities in northwest Louisiana. We remain very pleased with how the market around our Great Falls refinery has been relatively insulated from the global fuels malaise."

Mawer concluded, "Earlier this year, we took decisive action in a number of areas, including substantial reductions in both operating costs and SG&A, together with aggressive yield management and an accelerated hedging program. These decisive actions, together with our resilient Specialties business, have allowed us to progress through the pandemic with positive free cash flow. This significant accomplishment allows us to focus on maximizing the opportunity that we expect recovering markets will present and leaves us with even stronger operating leverage looking forward."

During the third quarter, the Specialty products segment gross profit was $86.5 million compared to $80.7 million in the year-ago period. The Specialty products segment Adjusted EBITDA of $56.0 million improved 8.5% versus the prior year period, while adjusted gross profit of $81.8 million, improved 2.5% compared to the third quarter of 2019. Adjusted EBITDA continues to be  impacted by softer demand leading to lower sales volumes, although these headwinds were more than offset by stronger sales mix driven by growth in consumer-facing specialties, including Finished Lubricants and Chemicals, Penreco branded products, and waxes. Gross profit per barrel results of $40.52 grew more than 18% versus the prior year quarter, and Adjusted EBITDA margins of 19.9% grew 540 basis points versus 14.5% in last year's third quarter. This margin expansion was driven by profitability plans implemented in the prior year and commercial excellence initiatives that have catalyzed growth in sales volumes for consumer-facing specialties, including Finished Lubricants and Chemicals, Penreco branded products, and waxes.

During the third quarter, Fuel products segment gross profit (loss) was $(41.9) million, compared to $37.1 million in the year-ago period. Fuels products adjusted gross profit (loss) and Adjusted EBITDA of $(36.1) million and $(13.5) million, respectively, were down significantly compared to the year-ago period driven by the significant decline in crack spreads and tightening crude differentials versus the prior year. In particular, the average WCS/WTI crude differential tightened by $3 per barrel compared to the third quarter of 2019, which was the primary driver of the material declines in gross profit (loss) per barrel and Adjusted gross profit (loss) per barrel performance across the quarter. Additionally, RINs costs increased during the quarter, impacting segment gross profit (loss) and Adjusted EBITDA results. These increased compliance costs were partially offset by the record fuels product rack sales in local markets.

Partnership Liquidity

As of September 30, 2020, the Partnership had total liquidity of $269.3 million, comprised of $109.4 million of cash and $159.9 million of availability under the revolving credit facility. As of September 30, 2020, Calumet had a $289.7 million borrowing base, $29.7 million in outstanding standby letters of credit and $100.1 million of outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility. The Partnership believes it will continue to have sufficient liquidity from cash on hand, cash flow from operations, borrowing capacity and other means by which to meet its financial commitments, debt service obligations, contingencies and anticipated capital expenditures.

Full-Year 2020 Capital Spending Forecast

Through the third quarter of 2020, total capital spending, including turnaround investments, was $46.9 million. For the full-year 2020, the Partnership continues to expect to incur capital expenditures of approximately $50.0 million to $60.0 million , which reflects our previously announced reduction in expected capital expenditures for 2020 due to increased volatility with domestic and global demand resulting from the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.


Operations Summary

The following table sets forth information about the Partnership's combined operations. Facility production volume differs from sales volume due to changes in inventories and the sale of purchased fuel product blendstocks, such as ethanol and biodiesel, and the resale of crude oil in the Partnership's fuel products segment.

(1) 

Total sales volume includes sales from the production at the Partnership's facilities and certain third-party facilities pursuant to supply and/or processing agreements, sales of inventories and the resale of crude oil to third-party customers. Total sales volume includes the sale of purchased fuel product blendstocks, such as ethanol and biodiesel, as components of finished fuel products in the Partnership's fuel products segment sales.




The decrease in total sales volume for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, as compared to the same periods in 2019, is due primarily to the sale of the San Antonio refinery, the terminated third-party naphthenic lubricating oil production arrangement, and softened demand due to the COVID-19 pandemic.



(2) 

Total feedstock runs represent the barrels per day ("bpd") of crude oil and other feedstocks processed at the Partnership's facilities and at certain third-party facilities pursuant to supply and/or processing agreements.




The decrease in total feedstock runs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, as compared to the same periods in 2019, is due primarily to the sale of the San Antonio refinery, the terminated third-party naphthenic lubricating oil production arrangement, and softened demand due to the COVID-19 pandemic.



(3) 

Total facility production represents the barrels per day of specialty products and fuel products yielded from processing crude oil and other feedstocks at our facilities and at certain third-party facilities pursuant to supply and/or processing agreements. The difference between total facility production and total feedstock runs is primarily a result of the time lag between the input of feedstocks and production of finished products and volume loss.




The change in total facility production for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, as compared to the same period in 2019, is due primarily to the items discussed above.

We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements after the date they are made, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except to the extent required by applicable law.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Our management uses certain non-GAAP performance measures to analyze operating segment performance and non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate past performance and prospects for the future to supplement our financial information presented in accordance with GAAP. These financial and operational non-GAAP measures are important factors in assessing our operating results and profitability and include performance and liquidity measures along with certain key operating metrics.

During the first quarter of 2020, we changed how we calculate Adjusted EBITDA, which is used by management for evaluating performance, allocating resources and managing our business. The revised calculation of Adjusted EBITDA now excludes the impact of LCM inventory adjustments and the liquidation of inventory layers calculated using the last-in, first-out ("LIFO") method, which were previously included. This revised calculation better reflects the performance of our business segments including cash flows. Adjusted EBITDA has been revised for all periods presented to consistently reflect this change. We previously also presented Adjusted EBITDA (excluding LCM/LIFO), which is consistent with our revised definition of Adjusted EBITDA.

We use the following performance and liquidity measures:

EBITDA: We define EBITDA for any period as net income (loss) plus interest expense (including amortization of debt issuance costs), income taxes and depreciation and amortization.

Adjusted EBITDA: We define Adjusted EBITDA for any period as: EBITDA adjusted for (a) impairment; (b) unrealized gains and losses from mark to market accounting for hedging activities; (c) realized gains and losses under derivative instruments excluded from the determination of net income (loss); (d) non-cash equity-based compensation expense and other non-cash items (excluding items such as accruals of cash expenses in a future period or amortization of a prepaid cash expense) that were deducted in computing net income (loss); (e) debt refinancing fees, premiums and penalties; (f) any net loss realized in connection with an asset sale that was deducted in computing net income (loss); (g) LCM inventory adjustments; (h) the impact of liquidation of inventory layers calculated using the LIFO method; and (i) all extraordinary, unusual or non-recurring items of gain or loss, or revenue or expense.

Distributable Cash Flow: We define Distributable Cash Flow for any period as Adjusted EBITDA less replacement and environmental capital expenditures, turnaround costs, cash interest expense (consolidated interest expense less non-cash interest expense), income (loss) from unconsolidated affiliates, net of cash distributions and income tax expense (benefit).

Adjusted EBITDA Margin: We define Adjusted EBITDA Margin for any period as Adjusted EBITDA divided by sales.

Adjusted net income (loss): We define Adjusted net income (loss) for any period as: net income (loss) adjusted for (a) impairment; (b) unrealized losses from mark-to-market accounting for hedging activities; (c) realized gains under derivative instruments excluded from the determination of net income (loss); (d) non-cash equity-based compensation expense and other non-cash items (excluding items such as accruals of cash expenses in a future period or amortization of a prepaid cash expense) that were deducted in computing net income (loss); (e) debt refinancing fees, premiums and penalties; (f) any net loss realized in connection with an asset sale that was deducted in computing net income (loss); (g) all extraordinary, unusual or non-recurring items of gain or loss, or revenue or expense; (h) LCM inventory adjustments; and (i) the impact of liquidation of inventory layers calculated using the LIFO method.

Adjusted net income (loss) per unit: We define Adjusted net income (loss) per unit for any period as Adjusted net income (loss) divided by average limited partner units basic and diluted.

Specialty products segment Adjusted gross profit: We define Specialty products segment Adjusted gross profit for any period as Specialty products segment gross profit excluding the impact of LCM inventory adjustments and the impact of liquidation of inventory layers calculated using the LIFO method.

Fuel products segment Adjusted gross profit (loss): We define Fuel products segment Adjusted gross profit (loss) for any period as Fuel products segment gross profit (loss) excluding the impact of LCM inventory adjustments and the impact of liquidation of inventory layers calculated using the LIFO method.

Further, management and various investors use the ratio of Net debt (defined as total debt less cash) to Adjusted EBITDA, or "net debt leverage," as a measure of our financial strength and ability to incur incremental indebtedness when making key investment decisions and evaluating us against peers. The metric "total debt less cash" includes borrowed long-term debt, letters of credit, and capital lease obligations, less cash.

The definition of Adjusted EBITDA that is presented in this press release is similar to the calculation of (i) "Consolidated Cash Flow" contained in the indentures governing our 7.625% senior notes due January 15, 2022, that were issued in November 2013 (the "2022 Notes"). Our 7.75% senior notes due April 15, 2023, that were issued in March 2015 (the "2023 Notes"), our 9.25% senior secured first lien notes due July 15, 2024, that were issued in August 2020 (the "2024 Secured Notes"), and our 11.00% senior notes due April 15, 2025, that were issued in October 2019 (the "2025 Notes") and (ii) "Consolidated EBITDA" contained in the credit agreement governing our revolving credit facility. We are required to report Consolidated Cash Flow to the holders of our 2022 Notes, 2023 Notes, 2024 Secured Notes, and 2025 Notes and Consolidated EBITDA to the lenders under our revolving credit facility, and these measures are used by them to determine our compliance with certain covenants governing those debt instruments. Please see our filings with the SEC, including our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and Current Reports on Form 8-K, for additional details regarding the covenants governing our debt instruments.

These non-GAAP measures are used as supplemental financial measures by our management and by external users of our financial statements such as investors, commercial banks, research analysts and others, to assess:

  • the financial performance of our assets without regard to financing methods, capital structure or historical cost basis;
  • the ability of our assets to generate cash sufficient to pay interest costs and support our indebtedness;
  • our operating performance and return on capital as compared to those of other companies in our industry, without regard to financing or capital structure;
  • the viability of acquisitions and capital expenditure projects and the overall rates of return on alternative investment opportunities; and
  • our operating performance excluding the non-cash impact of LCM and LIFO inventory adjustments.

We believe that these non-GAAP measures are useful to analysts and investors, as they exclude transactions not related to our core cash operating activities and provide metrics to analyze our ability to pay distributions and interest costs. We believe that excluding these transactions allows investors to meaningfully analyze trends and performance of our core cash operations.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Distributable Cash Flow, Adjusted net income (loss), Adjusted net income (loss) per unit, and segment Adjusted gross profit (loss) should not be considered alternatives to Net income (loss), Operating income (loss), Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, gross profit (loss) or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP. In evaluating our performance as measured by EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Distributable Cash Flow, Adjusted net income (loss), Adjusted net income (loss) per unit, and segment Adjusted gross profit (loss) management recognizes and considers the limitations of these measurements. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect our obligations for the payment of income taxes, interest expense or other obligations such as capital expenditures. Accordingly, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Distributable Cash Flow and Adjusted net income (loss), Adjusted net income (loss) per unit, and segment Adjusted gross profit (loss) are only a few of several measurements that management utilizes. Moreover, our EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Distributable Cash Flow, Adjusted net income (loss), Adjusted net income (loss) per unit and segment Adjusted gross profit (loss) may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of another company because all companies may not calculate EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Distributable Cash Flow, Adjusted net income (loss), Adjusted net income (loss) per unit and segment Adjusted gross profit (loss) in the same manner. Please see the section of this release entitled "Non-GAAP Reconciliations" for tables that present reconciliations of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Distributable Cash Flow and Adjusted net income (loss) to Net income (loss), our most directly comparable GAAP financial performance measure; Distributable Cash Flow to net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, our most directly comparable GAAP liquidity measure, for each of the periods indicated; and segment Adjusted gross profit (loss) to segment gross profit (loss), our most directly comparable GAAP financial performance measure.
