Vertex Energy Reports Second Quarter 2022 Results

HOUSTON, TX / ACCESSWIRE / August 9, 2022 / Vertex Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ:VTNR) ("Vertex" or the "Company"), a leading specialty refiner and marketer of high-quality refined products, today announced its financial results for the second quarter 2022 ended June 30, 2022.

SECOND QUARTER 2022 RESULTS

  • Completed acquisition of Mobile refinery on April 1, 2022
  • Reported net loss of $63.8 million
  • Record Adjusted EBITDA of $71.3 million
  • Reported net loss includes $127.8 million of adjustments to adjusted EBITDA
  • Renewable diesel conversion scheduled for start-up in the first quarter 2023
  • Total cash of $98.0 million as of June 30, 2022

For the three months ended June 30, 2022, the Company reported a net loss of $63.8 million, versus a net loss of $16.0 million in the second quarter 2021. The second quarter net loss includes a $46.9 unrealized commodity derivative loss, a $23.2 loss on an intermediation agreement due to backwardation, and a $46.1 million realized commodity derivatives loss, together with $11.6 million.

The Company reported record Adjusted EBITDA of $71.3 million in the second quarter 2022, versus $4.0 million in the prior-year period. Second quarter 2022 results benefited from a combination of strong operational reliability, elevated refined product margins and robust demand for conventional fuels, including the first full quarter of financial contributions from the Mobile refinery acquisition, which closed on April 1, 2022.

Schedules reconciling the Company's GAAP and non-GAAP financial results, including EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA is included later in this release (see also "Non-GAAP Financial Measures", below).

SEGMENT PERFORMANCE (inclusive of discontinued operations)

Refining and Marketing Segment

The Refining and Marketing segment includes the Company's flagship Mobile, Alabama ("Mobile") refinery and primarily consists of the sale of gasoline, diesel and jet fuel, together with related logistics assets.

During the second quarter 2022, the Refining and Marketing segment reported $20.7 million of pre-tax operating loss.

Total throughput at the Mobile refinery was 72,133 barrels per day in the second quarter, resulting in 96% utilization on operable capacity of approximately 75,000 barrels per day. The Mobile refinery generated refining gross margin of $14.11 per barrel of throughput in the second quarter 2022. Excluding the inventory adjustment and realized hedging loss, the Mobile refinery generated adjusted refining gross margin per barrel of $23.16 in the second quarter 2022.

The benchmark 2/1/1 Gulf Coast crack spread was $45.06 in the second quarter 2022, an increase of 205% versus the second quarter 2021, supported by strong demand for conventional refined products. On a gross profit per barrel basis, excluding non-recurring items, the Mobile refinery captured 51% of the 2/1/1 crack spread.

Black Oil Segment

The Black Oil segment focuses on the sale of petroleum products, including base oils and industrial fuels; the collection of used motor oil; and the sale of re-refinery products.

During the 2022 second quarter, the Company's Marrero (Louisiana) and Heartland (Ohio) refineries operated at 94% and 93% of total utilization, respectively.

The Black Oil segment generated total pre-tax operating income of $5.9 million in the second quarter 2022, flat versus the prior-year period. Excluding non-recurring, non-cash items, the segment reported adjusted EBITDA of $8.0 million.

A year-over-year increase in both sales volumes and margin per barrel was offset by higher selling, general and administrative expense in the second quarter 2022.


Recovery Segment

The Recovery segment consists primarily of revenues generated from the sale of ferrous and non-ferrous recyclable metals products that are recovered from manufacturing and consumption, together with revenues generated from trading and marketing base oils and lubricants.

The Recovery segment generated total pre-tax operating loss of $0.4 million in the second quarter 2022, versus income from operations of $0.5 million in the prior-year period. The year-over-year decline in sales was attributable to lower sales volumes in the second quarter 2022, given lower demand in the metals markets.

STRATEGIC UPDATE

Vertex continues to advance a multi-year strategy focused on the creation of long-term value for shareholders. During the second quarter, the Company continued to prioritize operational safety and reliability, organic growth investments, and strong free cash flow conversion, together with disciplined capital management.

  • Robust end-market demand supporting strong operational utilization. The Mobile refinery operated at 96% of planned utilization in the second quarter 2022, given operable capacity of 75,000 barrels per day. During July 2022, the Mobile refinery ran above its operational capacity of 75,000 barrels per day to support strong seasonal demand for conventional fuels. During July 2022, both the Marrero and Heartland refineries were operating above 93% of total capacity.
  • Renewable diesel conversion project expected to come on-stream by the first quarter 2023. Vertex has initiated a previously disclosed capital project designed to modify the Mobile refinery's hydrocracking unit to produce renewable diesel fuel on a standalone basis. To date, Vertex has engaged technology, engineering and construction partners to lead the project. All major long lead-time equipment has been purchased with the goal of ensuring a timely completion of the project by year-end 2022. Initial renewable production volumes are expected to come on-stream by the first quarter 2023. The Company expects the total project cost to be in the range of $90 to $100 million, funded entirely through existing cash on-hand and cash flow from operations.
  • Ample liquidity to support growth. As of June 30, 2022, the Company had total cash, including restricted cash, of $97.9 million, versus $36.1 million at the end of the second quarter 2021. Vertex had total net debt outstanding of $299.0 million at the end of the second quarter 2022, including $45.3 million in lease finance obligations. The ratio of net debt to trailing twelve month Adjusted EBITDA was 2.4x as of June 30, 2022, which includes only one quarter of EBITDA contribution from the Mobile refinery.

MANAGEMENT COMMENTARY

"During the second quarter, we capitalized on robust refined product demand within our regional markets, while ensuring continued operational reliability across our refining system," stated Benjamin P. Cowart, President and CEO of Vertex Energy. "During a volatile period for the broader energy complex, we generated record second quarter Adjusted EBITDA of $71.3 million, supported mainly by contributions from our recently acquired Mobile refinery. Entering the third quarter, market conditions remain favorable, supported by regional supply-demand imbalances that continue to support elevated refined product margins."

"In our first full quarter of operations at Mobile, we produced more than 72,000 barrels per day, or more than 96% of operable capacity, which was ahead of our operating plan, while our yield of high-value light product was approximately 70% in the period," continued Cowart. "During July, demand for gasoline and distillate remained strong, leading us to run the refinery toward full operational capacity, with the benchmark 2/1/1 Gulf Coast crack spread well above prior-year levels."

"Earlier this year, we entered into an inventory hedging program designed to mitigate financial risk, while positioning us to generate ratable cash flows with which to support our business for the first six months during the transition period," continued Cowart. "This program worked as planned during the second quarter, ensuring a ratable stream of cash flow into the business during a period of significant, planned capital investments. However, given expectations for a continued tightening in product supply and strength in refined product margins over the near-to-medium term, we intend to close out our remaining hedges in the third quarter, while maximizing our spot market exposure beginning in the fourth quarter 2022."

"Our planned conversion of the Mobile refinery's hydrocracker remains on schedule, consistent with our prior guidance," noted Cowart. "During the second quarter, we continued to complete detailed engineering, while mobilizing the personnel and resources required for field construction. As previously communicated, we anticipate the total conversion cost will be in a range of $90 to $100 million, all of which is expected to be funded through cash from operations, together with existing cash on-hand. At this time, we expect the unit conversion will reach completion by year-end 2022, with 8,000-10,000 barrels per day of renewable diesel production expected to come on-stream during the first quarter 2023."

"During a period of transition, our people executed on-plan, ensuring a successful integration of the Mobile refinery, while continuing to drive value creation across our legacy businesses," concluded Cowart. "I am exceptionally proud of the combined efforts of our entire team and look forward to building on the momentum evident across our business."

MANAGEMENT OUTLOOK

All guidance presented below is current as of the time provided and is subject to change. All prior financial guidance should no longer be relied upon.

For the third quarter 2022 , Vertex currently anticipates the following:

  • Total throughput of between 72,000 and 74,000 barrels per day at the Mobile refinery
  • Direct operating expense per barrel of between $3.50 and $3.75 at the Mobile refinery
  • Consolidated total capital expenditures of between $30.0 million and $35.0 million

For the full-year 2022 , Vertex currently anticipates the following:

  • Consolidated total capital expenditures of between $115.0 million and $120.0 million, excluding amounts paid on acquisition

PROJECTIONS

The financial and production projections (the "Projections") included herein were prepared by Vertex in good faith using assumptions believed to be reasonable. A significant number of assumptions about the operations of the business of Vertex were based, in part, on economic, competitive, and general business conditions prevailing at the time the Projections were developed. Any future changes in these conditions, may materially impact the ability of Vertex to achieve the financial results set forth in the Projections. The Projections are based on numerous assumptions, including realization of the operating strategy of Vertex; industry performance; no material adverse changes in applicable legislation or regulations, or the administration thereof, or generally accepted accounting principles; general business and economic conditions; competition; retention of key management and other key employees; absence of material contingent or unliquidated litigation, indemnity, or other claims; minimal changes in current pricing; static material and equipment pricing; no significant increases in interest rates or inflation; and other matters, many of which will be beyond the control of Vertex, and some or all of which may not materialize. The Projections also assume the continued uptime of the Company's facilities at historical levels and the successful funding of, timely completion of, and successful outcome of, planned capital projects. Additionally, to the extent that the assumptions inherent in the Projections are based upon future business decisions and objectives, they are subject to change. Although the Projections are presented with numerical specificity and are based on reasonable expectations developed by Vertex's management, the assumptions and estimates underlying the Projections are subject to significant business, economic, and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which will be beyond the control of Vertex. Accordingly, the Projections are only estimates and are necessarily speculative in nature. It is expected that some or all of the assumptions in the Projections will not be realized and that actual results will vary from the Projections. Such variations may be material and may increase over time. In light of the foregoing, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the Projections. The projected financial information contained herein should not be regarded as a representation or warranty by Vertex, its management, advisors, or any other person that the Projections can or will be achieved. Vertex cautions that the Projections are speculative in nature and based upon subjective decisions and assumptions. Since the Projections cover multiple years, such information by its nature becomes less meaningful and reliable with each successive year. As a result, the Projections should not be relied on as necessarily predictive of actual future events.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

In addition to our results calculated under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"), in this earnings release we also present Refining Gross Margin, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA . Refining Gross Margin, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are "non-GAAP financial measures" presented as supplemental measures of the Company's performance. They are not presented in accordance with GAAP. Refining gross margin is defined as revenues less the cost of fuel intakes and other fuel costs. It excludes operating expense and depreciation attributable to cost of revenues and other non-operating items in cost of revenues. EBITDA represents net income before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, for continued and discontinued operations. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA before other income, impairment loss on assets, loss (gain) on change in value of derivative warrant liability, unrealized (gain) loss on derivative instruments, gain (loss) on intermediation agreement, Shell transaction related expenses and stock-based compensation expense (for continued and discontinued operations) and other unusual or non-recurring items. Refining Gross Margin, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are presented because we believe they provide additional useful information to investors due to the various noncash items during the period. Refining Gross Margin, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are also frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies in our industry. We use Refining Gross Margin, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as supplements to GAAP measures of performance to evaluate the effectiveness of our business strategies, to make budgeting decisions, to allocate resources and to compare our performance relative to our peers. Additionally, these measures, when used in conjunction with related GAAP financial measures, provide investors with an additional financial analytical framework which management uses, in addition to historical operating results, as the basis for financial, operational and planning decisions and present measurements that third parties have indicated are useful in assessing the Company and its results of operations. Refining Gross Margin, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are unaudited, and have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our operating results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are: Refining Gross Margin, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect cash expenditures, or future or contractual commitments; EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, capital expenditures or working capital needs; EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do 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 noncash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements. In addition, other companies in this industry may calculate Refining Gross Margin, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA differently than Vertex does, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure. The Company's presentation of these measures should not be construed as an inference that future results will be unaffected by unusual or nonrecurring items. We compensate for these limitations by providing a reconciliation of each of these non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP measure. We encourage investors and others to review our business, results of operations, and financial information in their entirety, not to rely on any single financial measure, and to view these non-GAAP measures in conjunction with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. For more information on these non-GAAP financial measures, please see the sections titled Unaudited Reconciliations of Gross Profit (Loss) to Refining Gross Margin", each included at the end of this release and "Unaudited Consolidated Continued and Discontinued Operations Reconciliations of Net Loss attributable to Vertex Energy, Inc., to Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) and Adjusted EBITDA" each included at the end of this release.
