NGL Energy Partners Set to Report Q2 Earnings: What's in Store?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Key Takeaways
NGL's Q2 fiscal 2027 earnings are pegged at 22 cents per unit, with revenues projected at $734.6 million.
Water disposal volumes rose 19.6%, while new commitments reached 200,000 barrels per day in the prior quarter.
Higher butane sales may aid NGL's results, but increased spending and interest costs could weigh on profits.
NGL Energy Partners LP (NGL - Free Report) is set to release second-quarter fiscal 2027 results on Nov. 5, after market close. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings is 22 cents per share on revenues of $734.6 million.
Let’s delve into the factors that might have influenced the diversified energy master limited partnership’s results for the September quarter. But it’s worth taking a look at NGL’s previous-quarter performance first.
Highlights of Previous Quarter Earnings
In the last reported quarter, this Tulsa, OK-based midstream operator beat the consensus mark on strong produced water volumes. NGL Energy Partners reported adjusted earnings per unit of 17 cents, topping the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 11 cents. Revenues of $990 million beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 186%.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the second-quarter fiscal 2027 bottom line has remained unchanged in the past 30 days. The estimated figure indicates a 1,000% surge year over year. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues, meanwhile, suggests an 8.9% improvement from the year-ago period.
Factors to Consider
NGL Energy Partners' growing water disposal volumes are likely to have supported its second-quarter fiscal 2027 earnings. In the preceding quarter, physical water disposal volumes increased 19.6% year over year to 3.32 million barrels per day, helping Water Solutions' adjusted EBITDA rise 26% to $179.9 million. The company also secured more than 200,000 barrels per day of new volume commitments, bringing total commitments to approximately 1.77 million barrels per day. Higher contracted volumes, along with operating costs of 21 cents per barrel in the preceding quarter, could improve the September quarter’s earnings.
Higher butane sales and contracted activity could also support NGL's second-quarter fiscal 2027 earnings. In the preceding quarter, Liquids Logistics' adjusted EBITDA increased to $10.3 million from $2.9 million a year earlier, mainly due to additional contracted business at its remaining butane terminals. Butane sales also rose to approximately 119.8 million gallons from 96.9 million gallons. Continued demand for terminal services and higher butane volumes could have benefited the segment during the September quarter. However, management expects most of its annual Liquids Logistics earnings to come in the second half of fiscal 2027.
On a bearish note, NGL's increased capital spending and borrowing costs could weigh on its second-quarter fiscal 2027 earnings. Management expects growth capital expenditures to exceed $200 million in fiscal 2027, with most of the spending scheduled for the first two quarters. Borrowings under its revolving credit facility stood at approximately $177 million as of June 30, 2026, following higher investments in Water Solutions. Interest expenses also increased to $67.1 million from $65.5 million a year earlier. Additional borrowing to fund expansion projects could have raised financing costs, while much of the expected earnings contribution will likely arrive in fiscal 2028.
