CorEnergy Announces Third Quarter 2023 Results
KANSAS CITY, Mo., November 07, 2023--(BUSINESS WIRE)--CorEnergy Infrastructure Trust, Inc. (NYSE: CORR, CORRPrA) ("CorEnergy" or the "Company") today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2023.
Third Quarter 2023 and Recent Highlights
Reported total revenue of $33.0 million.
Generated net loss of $4.3 million and Adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP financial measure) of $4.8 million.
Transported an average of 151,953 barrels per day.
Submitted additional information to the Federal Trade Commission ("FTC") as requested by the FTC as part of its review of CorEnergy's agreement to sell its MoGas and Omega pipeline systems to Spire, Inc. for $175.0 million in cash.
The transaction is expected to close around the end of the calendar year, pending FTC review and approval and subject to customary closing conditions.
Advanced proposed cost-of-service based tariff increases as a result of volume shortfalls, including:
A 36% tariff increase on Crimson's SPB system, of which 10% was effective in March 2023.
A 128% tariff increase on Crimson’s KLM system, of which 21% was effective in October 2023.
A 35% tariff increase on Crimson's Southern California system, of which 21% was effective as of August 2023.
Plan to file this week for an acceleration of the pending rate cases for the SPB and KLM systems.
Amended the Company's credit facility covenant requirements for Q3 and Q4 2023 to provide additional time to manage near-term debt maturities through the proposed sale of CorEnergy's MoGas and Omega Pipeline systems.
Maintained the Company's 2023 outlook calling for Adjusted EBITDA of $24.0 to $26.0 million, reflecting anticipated volume, maintenance capital and timing of the Company's proposed MoGas and Omega sale.
Management Commentary
"California volumes have remained stable but below our original 2023 expectations while at the same time maintenance costs and capital requirements have increased sharply, driven by a combination of high inflation rates, rapidly rising wages and higher levels of activity and requirements by the California State Fire Marshal who is the primary pipeline regulator in the state. We have implemented mitigation efforts to realign cost of service and rates, including cost reductions, tariff rate increases, asset sales and debt reduction; however, these actions take time to fully be resolved. Additionally, we plan to file a request to immediately accelerate our pending rate filings for increases on the SPB and KLM systems to better align revenue with the higher level of expenses we are experiencing. The timing of the response from the CPUC on this request is hard to predict, but we hope to have a response in Q1 2024 at the latest. We believe these actions will help us generate better operating results and materially reduce our debt," said Dave Schulte, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.
"As expected, we did see an increase in November 2023 nominations, showing the anticipated increase in volumes following the announced closure of the P66 refinery for conversion to renewable diesel early next year. The P66 line has historically shipped an estimated 50,000 barrels per day to their Rodeo refinery. Capturing even a portion of those volumes would be helpful, but the long-term impact to run-rate cash flow will also be balanced with the impact on the pending rate cases as well as the current expense pressures which are expected to persist."

Reconciliations of Adjusted Net Loss and CAD, as presented, to Net Loss and Net Cash provided by Operating Activities are included at the end of this press release. See Note 1 below for additional information. Cash available for distribution represents cash available to common stockholders after the effect of the preferred dividend requirement.

Reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA, as presented, to Net Loss is included at the end of this press release. See Note 2 below for additional information.
Crimson Rate Increases
During the third quarter of 2022, Crimson filed for a tariff increase of 35% on its Southern California pipeline system and 10% on its KLM pipeline. Both of the third quarter tariff filings were protested by shippers and are proceeding through the CPUC approval process, with resolution expected in 2024. The Company commenced collecting a 10% tariff increase on both systems 30 days after the respective third quarter filings in 2022 and began collecting an additional 10% tariff increase on each pipeline in the third quarter 2023 on the anniversary of the filing, for a total of a 21% increase on each pipeline to date.
During the first quarter of 2023, Crimson filed for a 36% rate increase on its SPB pipeline and 107% increase on its KLM pipeline, additive to the 10% increase filed in 2022, based on the regulated cost-of-service tariff structure. Both tariff filings were protested by shippers and will proceed through the CPUC approval process. The Company commenced collecting a 10% tariff increase on the SPB system in March 2023, and a 21% total tariff increase on KLM as of October 2023.
SPB and KLM filed for an acceleration of the pending tariff increase requests on SPB and KLM systems. The filing requests an immediate tariff increase of 24.3% and 27.6% on SPB and KLM, respectively. This filing does not increase the total requested tariff increases but rather just accelerates them to help eliminate current negative cash flows. The timing of the response from the CPUC is unknown but the Company is hopeful for the Q1 2024 resolution at the latest.
Any tariff increase is subject to refund if the CPUC determines that it was not justified.
2023 Outlook
CorEnergy maintained its outlook for 2023, as follows:
Adjusted EBITDA of $24.0 to $26.0 million, inclusive of maintenance expense of $9.0 to $10.0 million, reflecting reduced volumes and delays in tariff processes (see Note 2 for additional details).
Capital expenditures in the range of $11.5 to $12.5 million, incurred primarily in the second half of 2023.
An expectation that the Company’s Class B Common Stock will mandatorily convert to Common Stock at a ratio of 0.68:1, as opposed to 1:1, during Q1 2024.
Dividend and Distribution Status
CorEnergy's Board of Directors maintained the suspension of dividend payments on its 7.375% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock and the Company’s Common Stock due to lower operating outlook. The Company's Board will continue to evaluate dividends on a quarterly basis.
CorEnergy’s 7.375% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock will accrue dividends during any period in which dividends are not paid. Any accrued Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred dividends must be paid prior to the Company resuming common dividend payments.
Based on the suspension of dividend payments to CorEnergy’s public equity holders, the Crimson Class A-1, Class A-2, and Class A-3 Units and CorEnergy’s Class B Common Stock will not receive dividends. The Crimson Class A-1 Units will accumulate a preferred distribution based on the CorEnergy Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares, which would be paid prior to the Company resuming common dividend payments.
The unpaid and accumulated preferred dividend amounts are included in the financial statements and notes.

Although CorEnergy believes that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, they do involve assumptions, risks and uncertainties, and these expectations may prove to be incorrect. Actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of a variety of factors, including, among others, changes in economic and business conditions; a decline in oil production levels; competitive and regulatory pressures; failure to realize the anticipated benefits of requested tariff increases; risks related to the uncertainty of the projected financial information with respect to Crimson; compliance with environmental, safety and other laws; our continued ability to access debt and equity markets and comply with existing debt covenants, including those contained in the indenture governing our 5.875% Convertible Notes; our ability to regain and continue to meet NYSE continued listing standards, the failure of which could result in our capital stock being delisted thereby constituting a "fundamental change" under the indenture governing our 5.875% Convertible Notes requiring us to repurchase such notes; our ability to repurchase our outstanding 5.875% Convertible Notes upon a "fundamental change" under the indenture governing such notes; failure to complete pending asset sales on our expected timeline or at all; risks associated with climate change; risks associated with changes in tax laws and our ability to continue to qualify as a REIT; and other factors discussed in CorEnergy’s reports that are filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

1 Management uses Adjusted Net Income (Loss) as a measure of profitability and CAD as a measure of long-term sustainable performance. Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and CAD are non-GAAP measures. Adjusted Net Income (Loss) represents net loss adjusted for loss on impairment of goodwill, transaction costs and restructuring costs, less gain on the sale of equipment. CAD represents Adjusted Net Income (Loss) adjusted for depreciation and amortization, amortization of debt issuance costs, stock-based compensation, and deferred tax benefit less transaction costs, restructuring costs, maintenance capital expenditures, preferred dividend requirements, and mandatory debt amortization.
2 Management uses Adjusted EBITDA as a measure of operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA represents net loss adjusted for items such as loss on the impairment of goodwill, transaction costs, restructuring costs, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, income tax expense (benefit), net, interest expense, less gain on the sale of equipment. Future period non-GAAP guidance includes adjustments for special items not indicative of our core operations, which may include, without limitation, items included in the additional financial information attached to this press release. Such adjustments may be affected by changes in ongoing assumptions and judgments, as well as nonrecurring, unusual or unanticipated charges, expenses or gains or other items that may not directly correlate to the underlying performance of our business operations. The exact amounts of these adjustments are not currently determinable but may be significant. It is therefore not practicable to provide the comparable GAAP measures or reconcile this future period non-GAAP guidance to the most comparable GAAP measures. Accordingly, we are not providing such comparable GAAP measures or reconciliations in reliance on the "unreasonable efforts" exception for forward-looking non-GAAP measures set forth in SEC rules because certain financial information, the probable significance of which cannot be determined, is not available and cannot be reasonably estimated without unreasonable effort and expense.
