CVR Partners Reports 2018 Fourth Quarter and Full-Year Results
And Announces Cash Distribution of 12 cents
| |
• | Achieved significant year-over-year environmental, health and safety improvements at both facilities. |
| |
• | Added unit train capabilities through new Coffeyville rail loading rack, which enhanced our geographic reach and reduced distribution costs. |
| |
• | Maintained high utilization rates during fourth quarter 2018. |
| |
• | Declared a fourth quarter 2018 cash distribution of 12 cents per unit, the first distribution since the first quarter 2017. |
SUGAR LAND, Texas (Feb. 20, 2019) - CVR Partners, LP (NYSE: UAN), a manufacturer of ammonia and urea ammonium nitrate (UAN) fertilizer products, today announced a fourth quarter 2018 net loss of $1 million, or 1 cent per common unit, on net sales of $98 million, compared to a net loss of $27 million, or 24 cents per common unit, on net sales of $78 million for the prior year period. Adjusted EBITDA was $33 million for the fourth quarter of 2018, compared to $8 million for the fourth quarter of 2017.
For full year 2018, CVR Partners had a net loss of $50 million, or 44 cents per common unit, on net sales of $351 million, compared to a net loss of $73 million, or 64 cents per common unit, on net sales of $331 million for full year 2017. Adjusted EBITDA for full year 2018 was $90 million, compared to $67 million for the previous year.
“Higher netback pricing and increased utilization rates led to improved 2018 fourth quarter and full-year results for CVR Partners,” said Mark Pytosh, Chief Executive Officer of CVR Partners’ general partner. “We also are pleased to report that CVR Partners generated positive distributable cash in the 2018 fourth quarter and declared a 12 cent per unit distribution.”
“While a wet fall created unfavorable application conditions for nitrogen fertilizer, we currently expect the missed tonnage will be applied in the spring,” Pytosh said, “In addition, we anticipate the corn planted this spring should increase by 3 million to 5 million acres, leading to strong nitrogen fertilizer demand.”
Consolidated Operations
For the fourth quarter of 2018, consolidated average realized gate prices for UAN and ammonia were $180 per ton and $324 per ton, respectively. Consolidated average realized gate prices for UAN and ammonia were $132 per ton and $264 per ton, respectively, for the same period in 2017.
CVR Partners’ fertilizer facilities produced a combined 209,000 tons of ammonia during the fourth quarter of 2018, of which 59,000 net tons were available for sale while the rest was upgraded to other fertilizer products, including 357,000 tons of UAN. In the 2017 fourth quarter, the fertilizer facilities produced 200,000 tons of ammonia, of which 64,000 net tons were available for sale while the remainder was upgraded to other fertilizer products, including 306,000 tons of UAN.
Distributions
CVR Partners also announced that, on Feb. 20, 2019, the Board of Directors of its general partner declared a fourth quarter 2018 cash distribution of 12 cents per common unit, which will be paid on March 11, 2019 to common unitholders of record on March 4, 2019.
CVR Partners is a variable distribution master limited partnership. As a result, its distributions, if any, will vary from quarter to quarter due to several factors, including, but not limited to, its operating performance, fluctuations in the prices received for its finished products, maintenance capital expenditures, and cash reserves deemed necessary or appropriate by the Board of Directors of its general partner.

Non-GAAP Measures
Our management uses certain non-GAAP performance measures to evaluate current and past performance and prospects for the future to supplement our GAAP financial information presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures are important factors in assessing our operating results and profitability and include the performance and liquidity measures defined below.
During the fourth quarter of 2018, management revised its internal and external use of non-GAAP measures to eliminate adjustments to earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) for business interruption insurance recoveries. Refer to the revised definition below for further information.
EBITDA - Net income (loss) before (i) interest expense, net, (ii) income tax expense (benefit) and (iii) depreciation and amortization expense.
Adjusted EBITDA - EBITDA adjusted to exclude turnaround expense and other non-recurring items which management believes are material to an investor’s understanding of the Partnership’s underlying operating results.
Available Cash for Distribution - Adjusted EBITDA reduced for cash reserves established by the board of directors of our general partner for (i) debt service, (ii) maintenance capital expenditures, (iii) turnaround expenses and, to the extent applicable, (iv) reserves for future operating or capital needs that the board of directors of our general partner deems necessary or appropriate, if any. Available cash for distribution may be increased by the release of previously established cash reserves, if any, and other excess cash, at the discretion of the board of directors of our general partner.
We present these measures because we believe they may help investors, analysts, lenders and ratings agencies analyze our results of operations and liquidity in conjunction with our U.S. GAAP results, including but not limited to our operating performance as compared to other publicly traded companies in the refining industry, without regard to historical cost basis or financing methods and our ability to incur and service debt and fund capital expenditures. Non-GAAP measures have important limitations as analytical tools, because they exclude some, but not all, items that affect net earnings and operating income. These measures should not be considered substitutes for their most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures. See “Non-GAAP Reconciliations” section included herein for reconciliation of these amounts.
Items or Events Impacting Comparability
During the fourth quarter of 2018, the Partnership recognized a $6.1 million business interruption insurance recovery associated with prior period outages at its Coffeyville, Kansas (the “Coffeyville Facility”). The recovery is recorded in the Other Income (Expense) line item. Prior year amounts, which were not material, were conformed to the current year presentation.
Refer to the “Non-GAAP Measures” section above for discussion of the change made during the fourth quarter of 2018 to the Partnership’s definition of Adjusted EBITDA.
Coffeyville Facility
During 2018, we had a planned, full facility turnaround lasting 15 days and incurred approximately $6.4 million in turnaround expense in the second quarter of 2018.
During 2017, our third-party air separation unit experienced a shut down. Paired with this shut down and subsequent operational challenges, we experienced unplanned UAN downtime of 11 days during the second quarter of 2017.
East Dubuque Facility
During 2017, we had a planned, full facility turnaround lasting 14 days and incurred approximately $2.6 million in turnaround expense in the third quarter of 2017. Additionally, during the fourth quarter of 2017, we experienced unplanned downtime totaling 12 days.

(1) | Reflects our ammonia utilization rates on a consolidated basis and at each of our facilities. Utilization is an important measure used by management to assess operational output at each of the Partnership’s facilities. Utilization is calculated as actual tons produced divided by capacity. We present our utilization on a two-year rolling average to take into account the impact of our current turnaround cycles on any specific period. The two-year rolling average is a more useful presentation of the long-term utilization performance of our plants. Additionally, we present utilization solely on ammonia production rather than each nitrogen product as it provides a comparative baseline against industry peers and eliminates the disparity of plant configurations for upgrade of ammonia into other nitrogen products. With our efforts being primarily focused on ammonia upgrade capabilities, this measure provides a meaningful view of how well we operate. |
