Q3 2024 Gibson Energy Inc Earnings Call Transcript
Key Points
- Gibson Energy Inc (GBNXF) reported a strong third quarter with an adjusted EBITDA of $151 million, driven by near-record contributions from the Infrastructure segment.
- The construction of two new tanks at the Edmonton Terminal is on schedule, expected to add 870,000 barrels of storage capacity by year-end.
- The company has started work on the Cactus II connection at the Gateway terminal, which will provide access to approximately 700,000 barrels a day of incremental Permian supply by Q3 2025.
- Gibson Energy Inc (GBNXF) maintains a strong financial profile with a leverage ratio of 3.2 times, within their target range, and a payout ratio of 65%, below their target range.
- The company is focused on disciplined growth and maximizing shareholder value, with a commitment to capital allocation priorities, including potential share repurchases.
- The Marketing segment's adjusted EBITDA was $14 million, below guidance and a decrease from the previous year, primarily due to weaker refined products results.
- The refined products segment faced challenges with softer-than-expected drilling fluid demand and tight heavy differentials.
- Gibson Energy Inc (GBNXF) anticipates modest Marketing segment performance in the fourth quarter due to low Western Canadian storage levels and reduced volatility.
- The company's distributable cash flow decreased by $5 million year-over-year and $13 million quarter-over-quarter, impacted by lower marketing results and higher replacement capital expenditures.
- Despite strong infrastructure performance, the company does not foresee buybacks in the fourth quarter unless there is business outperformance, due to current market conditions and financial principles.
