Valero's Board Okays Asset Sale by Affiliate to Partnership
Read MoreHide Full Article
Valero Energy Corporation’s (VLO - Free Report) board of directors has approved its partnership’s Valero Energy Partners LP acquisition of the Meraux and Three Rivers Terminal Services Business from one of the company’s subsidiaries. The acquisition is valued at about $325 million.
Per estimations, the business to be purchased by the partnership will contribute about $25 million of net income and about $39 million of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) within the first year of operation.
Post acquisition, the business is expected to contribute approximately $25 million of net income and approximately $39 million of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) within the first twelve months of operation. The deal is expected to close on Sep 1, 2016.
The proposed acquisition comprises terminals that support Valero’s Meraux and Three Rivers refineries. The Meraux assets include 24 tanks with a storage capacity of 3.9 million barrels for crude oil, intermediates, and refined petroleum products. The Three Rivers assets consist of 62 tanks with a storage capacity of 2.25 million barrels for crude oil, intermediates, and refined petroleum products.
The transaction is expected to be financed with borrowings under its revolving credit facility, cash on hand and the issuance of additional common units and general partner units to Valero subsidiaries. The newly issued units will be allotted in a proportion to enable Valero to retain its 2% general partner interest.
On closure of the transaction, the partnership intends to enter into a 10-year terminaling agreement with a subsidiary of Valero. The agreements are likely to include minimum volume commitments covering about 85% of planned throughput.
Valero carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). Some better-ranked players from the energy sector are Devon Energy Corporation (DVN - Free Report) and Enbridge Energy Partners L.P. . All these stocks sport a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy).
