FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Suburban Propane Partners, L.P.
Announces Full Year and Fourth Quarter Results
Whippany, New Jersey, November 14, 2019 --
Suburban Propane Partners, L.P. (NYSE:SPH), a nationwide distributor of propane, fuel oil and related products and services, as well as a marketer of natural gas and electricity, today announced earnings for its full year and fourth quarter ended September 28, 2019.
Fiscal Year 2019 Results
Net income for fiscal 2019 was $68.6 million, or $1.11 per Common Unit, compared to $76.5 million, or $1.24 per Common Unit, in fiscal 2018.
Net income and EBITDA (as defined and reconciled below) for fiscal 2018 included a loss of $4.8 million from the sale of certain assets and operations in a non-strategic market of the propane segment. Excluding the effects of the foregoing item in the prior year and unrealized (non-cash) mark-to-market adjustments on derivative instruments in both years, Adjusted EBITDA (as defined and reconciled below) amounted to $275.0 million for fiscal 2019, compared to $283.0 million in the prior year.
In announcing these results, President and Chief Executive Officer Michael A. Stivala said, “We continued to make progress on our strategic growth initiatives during fiscal 2019 -- utilizing excess cash flow in a balanced way to invest more than $20 million in three well-run propane businesses, fostering our new market expansion activities and reducing debt by approximately $30 million. From an earnings perspective, we reported another solid year despite an erratic weather pattern with unseasonably warm weather in the most critical heating months. We also launched a brand refresh during fiscal 2019, called the Three Pillars of the Suburban Propane Experience, which focuses on the key elements of our time-honored brand: Suburban Propane’s Commitment to Excellence, SuburbanCares and Go Green with Suburban Propane.”
Concluding his remarks, Mr. Stivala said, “Our re-imagined brand elements emphasize our commitment to excellence for the safety and comfort of our customers, our devotion to safety and career development for our dedicated employees, our philanthropic efforts to give back to the communities we serve, and promotion of the inherent environmental benefits of using propane in multiple applications as a clean energy source for a sustainable future. Our business is very well positioned, both operationally and financially, to continue to build on our successes for the next phase of growth for Suburban Propane and our valued Unitholders.”
Retail propane gallons sold in fiscal 2019 of 426.7 million gallons decreased 3% compared to the prior year, primarily due to an erratic and inconsistent weather pattern throughout fiscal year 2019 that negatively impacted customer demand. While average temperatures (as measured by heating degree days) across all of the Partnership’s service territories for fiscal 2019 were 6% warmer than normal and 1% cooler than the prior year, average temperatures during the peak demand months of December and January were 4% and 10% warmer than the same months in the prior year, respectively.
Revenues for fiscal 2019 of $1,267.7 million decreased 5.7% compared to the prior year, primarily due to lower propane volumes sold, combined with lower retail selling prices associated with lower wholesale costs.
