KILGORE, Texas, Aug 5, 2009 (GlobeNewswire via COMTEX News Network) -- Martin Midstream Partners L.P. (Nasdaq:MMLP) announced today its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2009.
MMLP reported net income for the second quarter of 2009 of $7.9 million, or $0.49 per limited partner unit. This compared to net income for the second quarter of 2008 of $4.3 million, or $0.25 per limited partner unit. Revenues for the second quarter of 2009 were $128.3 million compared to $308.1 million for the second quarter of 2008. Revenues were significantly impacted by decreasing commodity prices during the period. Second quarter 2009 net income was positively impacted by $5.1 million, or $0.35 per limited partner unit, in gain on the sale of property, plant and equipment. Second quarter 2009 net income was negatively impacted by $1.8 million, or $0.12 per limited partner unit, in non-cash derivatives net losses from certain commodity and interest rate hedges that did not qualify for hedge accounting.
MMLP reported net income for the six months ended June 30, 2009 of $12.8 million, or $0.76 per limited partner unit. This compared to net income for the six months ended June 30, 2008 of $12.3 million, or $0.76 per limited partner unit. Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2009 were $285.2 million compared to $621.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008. Revenues were significantly impacted by decreasing commodity prices during the period. For the six months ended June 30, 2009 net income was positively impacted by $5.1 million, or $0.35 per limited partner unit, in gain on the sale of property, plant and equipment. For the six months ended June 30, 2009 net income was negatively impacted by $2.9 million, or $0.20 per limited partner unit, in non-cash derivatives net losses from certain commodity and interest rate hedges that did not qualify for hedge accounting.
The Company's distributable cash flow for the second quarter of 2009 was $10.7 million. The Company's distributable cash flow for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was $24.6 million. Distributable cash flow was negatively impacted by the decrease in revenues noted above and a decrease in equity in earnings from unconsolidated entities resulting from the shutdown of the Company's Waskom plant in order to accommodate plant and fractionator expansion during the second quarter of 2009. Distributable cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure which is explained in greater detail below under "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information." The Company has also included below a table entitled "Distributable Cash Flow" in order to show the components of this non-GAAP financial measure and its reconciliation to the most comparable GAAP measurement.
MMLP's second quarter 2009 financial statements are included with this press release. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the information contained in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 5, 2009.
Ruben Martin, President and Chief Executive Officer of Martin Midstream GP LLC, the general partner of Martin Midstream Partners, said, "Overall, I am pleased with our second quarter performance in the face of a tough economic environment. Our Terminalling and Sulfur Services segments exceeded expectations primarily due to strong asphalt volumes through our terminals and higher fertilizer margins, respectively. In addition, we experienced continued strength in unit margins in our propane and NGL businesses. As expected, however, our performance was down relative to the first quarter primarily due to downtime at our Waskom plant and underutilization of our offshore marine equipment. Downtime associated with our Waskom plant was primarily due to the expansion of processing capacity from 265 MMcfd to 285 MMcfd and fractionation capacity from 12,500 barrels per day to 14,500 barrels per day. Despite timing the expansions to coincide with scheduled turnarounds of two of Waskom's major NGL customers, various parts of the plant were down approximately 5-6 weeks. Looking ahead, we expect our overall business to improve slightly in the third quarter and fourth quarters as we expect to benefit from normalized volumes at our Waskom plant, improved utilization of our offshore marine equipment, as well as continued strength in our Terminalling and Sulfur Services segments."

Forward-Looking Statements
Statements about Martin Midstream Partners' outlook and all other statements in this release other than historical facts are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements and all references to financial estimates rely on a number of assumptions concerning future events and are subject to a number of uncertainties and other factors, many of which are outside its control, which could cause actual results to differ materially from such statements. While MMLP believes that the assumptions concerning future events are reasonable, it cautions that there are inherent difficulties in anticipating or predicting certain important factors. A discussion of these factors, including risks and uncertainties, is set forth in the Company's annual and quarterly reports filed from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Martin Midstream Partners disclaims any intention or obligation to revise any forward-looking statements, including financial estimates, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
MMLP reports its financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. However, from time to time, MMLP uses certain non-GAAP financial measures such as distributable cash flow because MMLP's management believes that this measure may provide users of this financial information with meaningful comparisons between current results and prior reported results and a meaningful measure of MMLP's cash available to pay distributions. Distributable cash flow should not be considered an alternative to cash flow from operating activities or any other measure of financial performance in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States. Distributable cash flow is not intended to represent cash flows for the period, nor is it presented as an alternative to income from continuing operations. Furthermore, it should not be seen as a measure of liquidity or a substitute for comparable metrics prepared in accordance with GAAP. This information may constitute non-GAAP financial measures within the meaning of Regulation G adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, MMLP has presented herein, and will present in other information it publishes that contains this non-GAAP financial measure, a reconciliation of this measure to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.
The Company has included below a table entitled "Distributable Cash Flow" in order to show the components of this non-GAAP financial measure and its reconciliation to the most comparable GAAP measure. MMLP calculates distributable cash flow as follows: net income (as reported in Statements of Operations), plus depreciation and amortization, less gain on the sale of property, plant and equipment, plus amortization of deferred debt issuance costs, less deferred taxes (as reported in its Statements of Cash Flows), plus distribution equivalents from unconsolidated entities (as described below), plus invested cash in unconsolidated entities (as described below), less equity in earnings of unconsolidated entities (as reported in Statements of Operations), plus non-cash mark-to-market on derivatives (as reported in Statements of Cash Flows), less maintenance capital expenditures (as reported under the caption "Liquidity and Capital Resources" in MMLP's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed on August 5, 2009), plus unit-based compensation (as reported in Statements of Capital).
MMLP's distribution equivalents from unconsolidated entities is calculated as distributions from unconsolidated entities (as reported in Statements of Cash Flows), plus return of investments from unconsolidated entities (as reported in Statements of Cash Flows), plus distributions in-kind from equity investments (as reported in Statements of Cash Flows). For the quarter ended June 30, 2009, MMLP's distributions from unconsolidated entities, return of investments from unconsolidated entities and distributions in-kind from equity investments were $0.0 million, $0.2 million, and $1.0 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, MMLP's distributions from unconsolidated entities, return of investments from unconsolidated entities and distributions in-kind from equity investments were $0.7 million, $0.4 million, and $2.3 million, respectively.
MMLP's invested cash in unconsolidated entities is calculated as distributions from (contributions to) unconsolidated entities for operations (as reported in Statements of Cash Flows), plus expansion capital expenditures in unconsolidated entities (as reported under the caption "Liquidity and Capital Resources" in MMLP's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed on August 5, 2009). For the quarter ended June 30, 2009, MMLP's distributions from (contributions to) unconsolidated entities for operations and expansion capital expenditures in unconsolidated entities were ($1.6) million and $2.1 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, MMLP's distributions from (contribution to) unconsolidated entities for operations and expansion capital expenditures in unconsolidated entities were ($1.0) million and $2.3 million, respectively.
