What's in Store for Phillips 66 Partners (PSXP) Q4 Earnings?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Phillips 66 Partners LP is set to report fourth-quarter 2020 results on Jan 29, before the opening bell.
In the last reported quarter, the partnership came up with adjusted earnings per unit of 85 cents, in line with the Zacks Consensus Estimate on the back of higher storage and processing activities, partially offset by lower throughput volumes of refined petroleum products as well as crude oil. It surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate thrice in the last four quarters and met on another occasion, with the average being 12%, as shown in the chart below.
Let’s see how things have shaped up prior to the announcement.
Trend in Estimate Revision
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for fourth-quarter earnings of 88 cents per share has seen no upward movement but three downward revisions in the past 30 days. The figure suggests a year-over-year decrease of 17%.
Further, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is pegged at $384.5 million for the quarter, indicating a decline of 11% from the year-ago reported figure.
Factors to Note
Although the midstream infrastructure aids it to generate stable fee-based revenues under long-term contracts, volatile market conditions in the fourth quarter might have affected shipping volumes. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, demand for refined petroleum products and NGL was under pressure, which might have affected the partnership’s pipeline transportation volumes.
Markedly, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for total fourth-quarter terminal throughput volumes is pegged at 1,011 thousand barrels per day (Mbpd), indicating a decline from the year-ago figure of 1,311 Mbpd. Moreover, the same for wholly-owned pipeline volumes for the quarter is pegged at 1,640 Mbpd, signaling a decrease from 2,038 Mbpd in the year-ago period. The decline in volumes might have affected the partnership’s bottom line in the quarter.
