Dakota Plains Holdings, Inc. Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2015 Financial Results

WAYZATA, Minn.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Dakota Plains Holdings, Inc. (“Dakota Plains”), (NYSE MKT:DAKP) today announced financial results for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2015.

Full Year 2015 Operational Summary

  • The Company transloaded 16.8 million barrels of crude oil, an increase of approximately 19% compared to 2014.
  • The Company transloaded 605,000 tons of frac sand, an increase of approximately 251% compared to 2014. The Company commenced sand transloading operations in June of 2014.
  • The Company materially reduced operating costs by bringing transloading operations in-house in the second quarter of 2015.
  • The Company completed construction of a 90,000 barrel crude oil storage tank in the second quarter of 2015.

Full Year 2015 Financial Summary

  • Adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP measure described below) was $8.7 million compared to $3.4 million for 2014.
  • The Company had a net loss of $25.0 million, including a negative non-cash valuation allowance of $27.4 million and an offsetting non-cash adjustment of $11.0 million, compared to a net loss of $3.3 million for 2014 (after adjusting for non-controlling interests).
  • In December 2015 the Company amended its credit facility including extending the maturity of its Tranche B Term Loan to January 5, 2017.
  • Revenue from crude oil transloading was $23.2 million compared to $26.8 million in 2014.
  • Revenue from frac sand transloading was $4.5 million compared to $1.4 million in 2014.

Craig McKenzie, Chief Executive Officer of Dakota Plains, said: “The energy industry, including the U.S. midstream segment, experienced a significant downturn in 2015. Despite this challenge, we were able to increase throughput volumes in both oil and sand transloading, and gain significant market share in both businesses. In addition, by materially reducing our operating costs, we were able to increase our cash margin for operations and delivered a 151% increase in EBITDA.”

McKenzie continued, “Notwithstanding the recent uptick in oil prices, future development and production levels in the Bakken remain uncertain. We are maintaining diligent oversight of our operations, as well as our financials, while we also pursue strategic alternatives.”

Fourth Quarter 2015 Financial Results

Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2015 was $0.3 million compared to $1.9 million for the same period of 2014. The difference was primarily driven by lower crude oil transloading fees.

The Company reported a net loss of $3.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2015 compared to a net loss of $0.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2014 (after adjusting for non-controlling interests). The net loss for the fourth quarter of 2015 was primarily driven by the decrease in revenue as a result of lower crude oil transloading fees, which was partially offset by improved operating efficiencies and increased crude oil and frac sand transloading volumes.

Revenue from crude oil transloading was $3.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2015 compared to $7.7 million for the same period of 2014. The Company transloaded 4.4 million barrels of crude oil during the fourth quarter of 2015 compared to 4.0 million barrels during the same period of 2014. The decrease in revenue was driven by a 55% reduction in the average transloading fee charged in the fourth quarter of 2015 compared to the same period of 2014. Cost of revenue for crude oil transloading was $1.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2015 compared to $2.1 million during the same period of 2014. This reduction was primarily due to bringing the transloading operations in-house during the second quarter of 2015.

Revenue from frac sand transloading was $1.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2015 compared to $0.6 million for the same period of 2014. The increase in revenue was driven by volume as the Company transloaded approximately 159,000 tons of frac sand during the fourth quarter of 2015 compared to approximately 81,000 tons during the same period of 2014, a 97% increase. The cost of revenue related to frac sand transloading was $0.1 million compared to $0.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2014. The decrease was due to improved efficiencies as a result of bringing the transloading operations in-house during the second quarter of 2015.

General and administrative expenses were $3.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2015, which was flat compared to the same period of 2014.

Interest expense was $2.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2015 compared to $1.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2014. The increase was primarily driven by the interest expense related to the operational override liability and the additional debt resulting from the acquisition of 50% of the outstanding interest in the transloading and marketing joint ventures in the fourth quarter of 2014.

Full Year 2015 Financial Results

Adjusted EBITDA for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, was $8.7 million compared to $3.4 million in 2014. The increase in 2015 Adjusted EBITDA was primarily driven by company high crude oil and frac sand transloading throughput volumes, revenues from railcar storage, and improved operating efficiencies in the crude oil and frac sand transloading operations.

The Company experienced a net loss of $25.0 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, compared to a net loss of $3.3 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014. The 2015 net loss was driven by a non-cash valuation allowance on the Company’s deferred tax assets of approximately $27.4 million, which was partially offset by an $11 million gain from a revaluation of the operational override liability. In addition, higher crude oil and frac sand transloading throughput, revenues from railcar storage, and bringing the transloading operations in-house partially offset the valuation allowance. The net loss in 2014 was driven by a significant decrease in income from the Company’s indirect investment in its marketing joint venture.

Revenue from crude oil transloading was $23.2 million in 2015 compared to $26.8 million in 2014. The decrease in revenue was driven by a 28% drop in average crude oil transloading fees. The impact of lower fees was partially offset by volume, as the Company transloaded 16.8 million barrels of crude oil (46,000 barrels per day) during 2015 compared to 14.2 million barrels of crude oil (39,000 barrels per day) during 2014, a 19% increase. Total cost of revenue related to crude oil transloading for 2015 was $6.0 million compared to $7.9 million for 2014, a 23% decrease driven by bringing the transloading operations in-house.

Revenue from frac sand transloading was $4.5 million in 2015 compared to $1.4 million in 2014. Cost of revenue related to frac sand transloading was $1.2 million in 2015 compared to $0.6 million in 2014. The increases in both revenue and cost of revenue were due to higher volume as the frac sand transloading operations did not commence until June 2014. The Company transloaded 605,000 tons of frac sand during 2015 compared to 172,000 tons of frac sand during 2014. The 46% decrease in cost of revenue per ton transloaded during 2015 was primarily the result of bringing the transloading operations in-house during the second quarter of 2015.

General and administrative expenses were $10.3 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, compared to $9.1 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014. The 13% increase was primarily due to the $1.1 million in fees and costs related to the strategic alternatives process.

Interest expense was $8.1 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, compared to $2.8 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014. The increase was primarily driven by the interest expense related to the operational override liability and additional debt from the acquisition of 50% of the outstanding interests in the transloading and marketing joint ventures in the fourth quarter of 2014.

The operational override liability was reduced $11.0 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, as compared to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, due to a decrease in the long-term estimated daily crude oil transloading volume used to calculate the liability.

The provision for income taxes was $29.3 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, compared to a benefit from income taxes of $0.9 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014. The increase in the provision for income taxes was primarily due to the valuation allowance placed on the net deferred tax asset in 2015.
