Holly Energy Partners, L.P. Reports Fourth Quarter Results
•Reported net income attributable to HEP of $45.6 million or $0.43 per unit
•Announced quarterly distribution of $0.35 per unit
•Reported EBITDA of $70.8 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $79.7 million
Dallas, Texas -- Holly Energy Partners, L.P. (“HEP” or the “Partnership”) (NYSE: HEP) today reported financial results for the fourth quarter of 2021. Net income attributable to HEP for the fourth quarter was $45.6 million ($0.43 per basic and diluted limited partner unit) compared to $51.3 million ($0.49 per basic and diluted limited partner unit) for the fourth quarter of 2020.
Distributable cash flow was $63.1 million for the quarter, a decrease of $6.9 million, or 9.9%, compared to the fourth quarter of 2020. HEP declared a quarterly cash distribution of $0.35 on January 21, 2022.
The decrease in net income attributable to HEP was mainly due to lower volumes on our pipeline systems, lower on-going revenues from our Cheyenne assets as a result of the conversion of HollyFrontier Corporation's (“HollyFrontier”) Cheyenne refinery to renewable diesel production and higher operating expenses, partially offset by lower interest expense and higher equity in earnings of equity method investments.
Commenting on our 2021 fourth quarter results, Michael Jennings, Chief Executive Officer, stated, "HEP delivered another quarter of strong operational performance and solid financial results despite the planned turnaround and unplanned maintenance at HollyFrontier’s Navajo refinery. We ended the year with a distributable cash flow coverage ratio of 1.8x and continued our deleveraging strategy, bringing HEP’s leverage ratio to 3.9x."
"Looking forward, we expect to hold the quarterly distribution constant at $0.35 per unit during 2022, and we remain committed to our distribution strategy focused on funding all capital expenditures and distributions within operating cash flow and maintaining distributable cash flow coverage of 1.3x or greater with the goal of reducing leverage to 3.0-3.5x."
Impact of COVID-19 on Our Business
Our business depends in large part on the demand for the various petroleum products we transport, terminal and store in the markets we serve. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the global macroeconomy created diminished demand, as well as a lack of forward visibility, for refined products and crude oil transportation, and for the terminalling and storage services that we provide. Since the declines in demand at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, we began to see improvement in demand for these products and services beginning late in the second quarter of 2020 that continued through the fourth quarter of 2021, with aggregate volumes approaching pre-pandemic levels. We expect our customers will continue to adjust refinery production levels commensurate with market demand and ultimately expect demand to return to pre-COVID-19 levels. For additional details of the impact of COVID-19 on our business, please see our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Fourth Quarter 2021 Revenue Highlights
Revenues for the quarter were $118.5 million, a decrease of $9.0 million compared to the fourth quarter of 2020. The decrease was mainly due to lower on-going revenues from our Cheyenne assets as a result of the conversion of the HollyFrontier Cheyenne refinery to renewable diesel production, lower volumes on our product pipelines servicing HollyFrontier's Navajo refinery due to the planned turnaround as well as unplanned maintenance activities at the refinery following the turnaround during the fourth quarter of 2021, and recording certain tariffs and fees as interest income under sales-type lease accounting that were recorded as revenue in the fourth quarter of 2020.

•Revenues from our refined product pipelines were $22.7 million, a decrease of $5.9 million, on shipments averaging 135.2 thousand barrels per day ("mbpd") compared to 155.8 mbpd for the fourth quarter of 2020. The revenue and volume decreases were mainly due to lower volumes on our product pipelines servicing HollyFrontier's Navajo refinery due to the planned turnaround as well as unplanned maintenance activities at the refinery following the turnaround during the fourth quarter of 2021.

•Revenues from our intermediate pipelines were $7.5 million, consistent with the fourth quarter of 2020. Shipments averaged 105.5 mbpd compared to 134.8 mbpd for the fourth quarter of 2020. The decrease in volumes was mainly due to lower throughputs on our intermediate pipelines servicing HollyFrontier's Navajo refinery while revenue remained constant mainly due to contractual minimum volume guarantees.

•Revenues from our crude pipelines were $30.7 million, a decrease of $1.3 million, on shipments averaging 455.0 mbpd compared to 410.4 mbpd for the fourth quarter of 2020. The increase in volumes was mainly attributable to our Cushing Connect Pipeline in Oklahoma which went into service at the end of the third quarter of 2021. Revenues did not increase in proportion to volumes due to recognizing most of the Cushing Connect Pipeline tariffs as interest income under sales-type lease accounting.

•Revenues from terminal, tankage and loading rack fees were $33.9 million, a decrease of $5.0 million compared to the fourth quarter of 2020. Refined products and crude oil terminalled in the facilities averaged 460.4 mbpd compared to 440.7 mbpd for the fourth quarter of 2020. The increase in volumes was mainly the result of higher throughputs at HollyFrontier's El Dorado refinery. Revenues decreased mainly due to lower on-going revenues on our Cheyenne assets as a result of the conversion of the HollyFrontier Cheyenne refinery to renewable diesel production and recording certain tariffs and fees as interest income under sales-type lease accounting that were recorded as revenue in the fourth quarter of 2020.

•Revenues from refinery processing units were $23.7 million, an increase of $3.2 million compared to the fourth quarter of 2020, and throughputs averaged 68.8 mbpd compared to 63.9 mbpd for the fourth quarter of 2020. The increase in volumes was mainly due to increased throughput for both our Woods Cross and El Dorado processing units. Revenues increased mainly due to higher recovery of natural gas costs.

Year Ended December 31, 2021 Revenue Highlights
Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2021, were $494.5 million, a decrease of $3.4 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2020. The decrease was mainly attributable to lower on-going revenues from our Cheyenne assets as a result of the conversion of the HollyFrontier Cheyenne refinery to renewable diesel production, lower volumes on our product pipelines servicing HollyFrontier's Navajo refinery and Delek's Big Spring refinery, and recording certain tariffs and fees as interest income under sales-type lease accounting that were recorded as revenue for the year ended December 31, 2020, partially offset by higher revenues from our crude pipeline systems in Wyoming and Utah and our Woods Cross and El Dorado refinery processing units mainly due to higher recovery of natural gas costs.

•Revenues from our refined product pipelines were $107.4 million, a decrease of $9.5 million, on shipments averaging 158.1 mbpd compared to 161.5 mbpd for the year ended December 31, 2020. The volume and revenue decreases were mainly due to lower volumes on pipelines servicing HollyFrontier's Navajo refinery and Delek's Big Spring refinery.

•Revenues from our intermediate pipelines were $30.1 million, an increase of $0.1 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2020. Shipments averaged 125.2 mbpd compared to 137.1 mbpd for the year ended December 31, 2020. The decrease in volumes was mainly due to lower throughputs on our intermediate pipelines servicing HollyFrontier's Tulsa and Navajo refineries while revenue remained relatively constant mainly due to contractual minimum volume guarantees.

•Revenues from our crude pipelines were $125.6 million, an increase of $6.7 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2020. Shipments averaged 408.6 mbpd compared to 387.7 mbpd for the year ended December 31, 2020. The increases were mainly attributable to increased volumes on our crude pipeline systems in Wyoming and Utah partially offset by lower volumes on our pipeline systems servicing HollyFrontier's Navajo refinery. Volumes also increased due to the addition of volumes on our Cushing Connect Pipeline in Oklahoma, which went into service at the end of the third quarter of 2021.

•Revenues from terminal, tankage and loading rack fees were $142.3 million, a decrease of $9.4 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2020. Refined products and crude oil terminalled in the facilities averaged 442.9 mbpd compared to 442.2 mbpd for the year ended December 31, 2020. Revenues decreased mainly due to lower on-going revenues on our Cheyenne assets as a result of the conversion of the HollyFrontier Cheyenne refinery to renewable diesel production and recording certain tariffs and fees as interest income under sales-type lease accounting that were recorded as revenue in the year ended December 31, 2020.

•Revenues from refinery processing units were $89.1 million, an increase of $8.8 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2020. Throughputs averaged 69.6 mbpd compared to 61.4 mbpd for the year ended December 31, 2020. The increase in volumes was mainly due to increased throughput for both our Woods Cross and El Dorado processing units. Revenues increased mainly due to higher recovery of natural gas costs as well as higher throughputs.


Operating Costs and Expenses Highlights
Operating costs and expenses were $69.2 million and $288.0 million for the three months and year ended December 31, 2021, respectively, representing an increase of $4.4 million and a decrease of $4.9 million from the three months and year ended December 31, 2020, respectively. The fourth quarter increase was mainly due to an increase in employee costs, maintenance and expense projects and natural gas costs, partially offset by lower depreciation. The decrease for the year ended December 31, 2021 was mainly due to the higher goodwill impairment charge related to our Cheyenne reporting unit in 2020 than recorded in 2021, partially offset by higher employee costs, maintenance costs, pipeline rental costs and natural gas costs.
Interest expense was $13.2 million and $53.8 million for the three months and year ended December 31, 2021, respectively, representing decreases of $0.6 million and $5.6 million over the same periods of 2020. The decreases were mainly due to lower average borrowings outstanding under our senior secured revolving credit facility.

(1)Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) is calculated as net income attributable to Holly Energy Partners plus (i) interest expense, net of interest income, (ii) state income tax and (iii) depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as EBITDA plus (i) loss on early extinguishment of debt, (ii) goodwill impairment, (iii) tariffs and fees not included in revenues due to impacts from lease accounting for certain tariffs and fees minus (iv) gain on sales-type leases, (v) gain on significant asset sales, (vi) HEP's pro-rata share of gain on business interruption insurance settlement and (vii) pipeline lease payments not included in operating costs and expenses. Portions of our minimum guaranteed pipeline 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. These pipeline tariffs were previously recorded as revenues prior to the renewal of the throughput agreement, which triggered sales-type lease accounting. 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.

(2)Distributable cash flow is not a calculation based upon GAAP. However, the amounts included in the calculation are derived from amounts presented in our consolidated financial statements, with the general exception of maintenance capital expenditures. 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.
