NGL Energy Partners LP

NGL Energy Partners LP purchases propane, butane, and other natural gas liquids from refiners, processing plants, producers, and other parties, and sells the product to retailers, refiners, and other participants in the wholesale markets. NGL is a Master Limited Partnership (or MLP) with a diverse group of growing businesses which pays a quarterly dividend of 39 cents. NGL has 5 business groups - Water Solutions, Retail Propane, Crude Logistics, Liquids, and Refined Products. NGL provides services for the energy industry and generally is paid on a fixed fee basis. However, in some segments - especially Liquids, Refined Products, and Retail Propane - NGL takes title to product and resells it at a mark up. At March 31, 2017 , NGL had 2,700 full-time employees.

• Crude Oil Logistics represents 16% of total revenues
• Water Solutions represents 2% of total revenues
• Liquids represents 8% of total revenues
• Retail Propane represents 4% of total revenues
• Refined Products and Renewables represent 70% of total revenues

Among the key risk factors that may affect their consolidated financial position and results of operations are:

• the prices of crude oil, natural gas liquids, gasoline, diesel, ethanol, and biodiesel;
• energy prices generally;
• the general level of crude oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids production;
• the general level of demand for crude oil, natural gas liquids, gasoline, diesel, ethanol, and biodiesel;
• the availability of supply of crude oil, natural gas liquids, gasoline, diesel, ethanol, and biodiesel;
• the level of crude oil and natural gas drilling and production in producing areas where we have water treatment and disposal facilities. Lower propane prices and volumes due to a warmer than average winter
• Total debt is not small, NGL may be able to gradually reduce debt

NGL currently pays $1.56 in distributions per year for a yield of 11.14%, 2018 is certainly going to be better than fiscal 2017, according to analysts NGL should increase its distribution to at least 44 cents per quarter ($1.76 per year). The 11.14% dividend is covered and the growth projects ensure that the numbers will be moving up in fiscal 2018. NGL reported FQ4 earnings and revenues, the latter rising 65% Y/Y to $3.85B vs. the ~$2.5B analyst consensus. NGL says adjusted EBITDA totaled $121M for Q4 and $380.8M for FY 2017, lower than the $154M for Q4 2016 and $424M for FY 2016. For FY 2018, NGL expects to generate adjusted EBITDA of $500M-$525M, including $130M EBITDA for the Grand Mesa pipeline (this pipeline is projected to generate $10 - 12 million per month in EBITDA).
