Here is what Miller Value Partners has to say about NGL Energy Partners LP in their Q4 2020 investor letter:
“NGL Energy Partners (NGL) dropped 37.0% over the period, though its small weight in the fund meant only 12 basis points (bps) of value detraction. NGL reported EBITDA of $138M, missing consensus of $142 by 3% driven by lower than expected crude and water volumes. Distributable cash flow of $73M beat analyst estimates of $69M and provided 5.5x coverage on the reduced quarterly dividend of $0.10/share (13.6% annualized yield). Since July 1st, NGL has retired $75M of unsecured notes, bringing Year-to-Date (YTD) repurchases to $125M. Management remains fully committed to deleveraging and noted a Joint Venture (JV) for the Water business is likely by year-end. NGL exited the quarter with $3.3Bn in total debt, $122M of liquidity, leverage of 5.3x, and remains in full compliance with all debt covenants.”
