Vertex Energy Announces Second Quarter 2023 Results

In this article:

HOUSTON, August 09, 2023--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Vertex Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ: VTNR) ("Vertex" or the "Company"), a leading specialty refiner and marketer of high-quality refined products, today announced its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2023.

The Company will host a conference call to discuss second quarter 2023 results today at 8:30 A.M. Eastern Time, details are included at the end of this release.

SECOND QUARTER 2023 HIGHLIGHTS

  • Reported net loss attributable to common shareholders of $(81.4) million, or $(1.03) per basic share

  • Reported Adjusted EBITDA of $(34.2) million

  • Continued safe operation of the Company’s Mobile, Alabama refinery (the "Mobile Refinery") with second quarter 2023 conventional throughput of 76,330 barrels per day (bpd), above prior guidance

  • Renewable diesel (RD) facility repair and start-up successfully completed with targeted Phase I throughput capacity of 8,000 bpd demonstrated during the quarter

  • Lower conventional refining margins driven by weakness in market prices for refined fuels and additional costs incurred during RD repair and start-up procedure

  • Total cash and cash equivalents of $52.1 million including restricted cash of $3.6 million as of June 30, 2023

Vertex reported second quarter 2023 net loss attributable to common shareholders of $(81.4) million, or $(1.03) per basic share, versus a net loss attributable to common shareholders of $(67.0) million, or $(0.99) per basic share for the second quarter of 2022. Adjusted EBITDA (see "Non-GAAP Financial Measures", below) was $(34.2) million for the second quarter 2023, compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $71.3 million in the prior-year period. Financial results for the second quarter of 2023 include a non-cash, one-time interest expense in the amount of $63.0 million related to the recent privately negotiated exchange of approximately $79.9 million of Vertex’s Senior Secured 6.25% Convertible Notes Due 2027, which closed on June 12, 2023. Schedules reconciling the Company’s generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP") and non-GAAP financial results, including Adjusted EBITDA are included later in this release (see also "Non-GAAP Financial Measures", below).

MANAGEMENT COMMENTARY

"During the second quarter, we made considerable progress in developing our broader strategic vision of creating a vertically integrated renewable fuels company," stated Benjamin P. Cowart, President and CEO of Vertex, who continued, "While short-term profitability on the conventional fuels refining business was negatively impacted by a combination of deterioration in market conditions and the added expense associated with the start-up of our renewable diesel facility, we successfully achieved several important strategic milestones through establishing RD production, accelerating our feedstock strategy, and improving balance sheet efficiency, which we believe will help drive greater long-term shareholder value for the company."

SEGMENT PERFORMANCE

MOBILE REFINERY OPERATIONS

The Mobile Refinery operations generated a gross profit (loss) of ($6.4) million and $52.7 million of fuel gross margin (a non-GAAP measure) or $7.34 per barrel during the second quarter 2023, versus generating a gross profit of $65.5 million, and fuel gross margin (a non-GAAP measure) of $103.8 million, or $16.17 per barrel of fuel gross margin in the first quarter of 2023. Adjusting for the impact of $3.66 of Renewable Identification Number (RIN) expense per barrel, RIN adjusted fuel gross margin at the Mobile Refinery was $27.3 million, or $3.68 per barrel for the second quarter of 2023, versus $87.7 million, or $13.66 per barrel of RIN adjusted fuel gross margin in the first quarter of 2023. On an adjusted fuel gross margin per barrel basis, including the impact of renewable diesel production, the Mobile Refinery captured 31% of the Gulf Coast 2-1-1 crack spread. Adjusting for the partial production period of renewable diesel and limited revenue contribution during the quarter, the Mobile Refinery generated a conventional only fuel gross margin per barrel of 34%.

The decline in adjusted fuel gross margin per barrel and resulting deterioration in reported capture rate of the benchmark Gulf Coast 2-1-1 crack spread was attributed to a decline in margins for refined products, compounded by approximately $20 million of one-time expenses incurred as a result of the repair and resumed start-up procedures of the Company’s renewable diesel facility during the quarter. The benchmark Gulf Coast 2-1-1 crack spread decreased from $31.59 per barrel in the first quarter of 2023 to $23.60 in the second quarter, while pricing for refined products outside of the benchmark crack spread, such as Jet fuel, which experienced significant pressure during the second quarter of 2023.

Financial results for the Mobile Refinery reported for the second quarter of 2023 reflect the combined contribution of conventional fuels refining operations, as well as the operation of the Company’s renewable diesel facility which began production on May 27th. The partial production period and limited revenue recorded from the renewable diesel facility, compounded by the additional expenses incurred for the repair of feedstock pumping systems, as well as typical one-time start-up expenses, had a disproportionate negative impact on overall refining profitability during the quarter and we believe this does not reflect the state of operating profitability for the facility longer-term.

Total throughput at the Mobile Refinery was 78,820 bpd in the second quarter of 2023, including 76,330 bpd of conventional and 2,490 bpd of renewable throughput, respectively. Total production of finished high-value, light products, such as gasoline, diesel and jet fuel, represented approximately 61% of the total production in the second quarter of 2023, vs. 62% in the first quarter 2023, as anticipated. Changes in the Company’s product yield profile have led to a higher percentage of products not accounted for in the benchmark Gulf Coast 2-1-1 crack spread. Consequently, this has caused the reported capture rate of the benchmark crack spread to vary significantly.

Renewable Diesel Facility

Renewable diesel production facility successfully started following system repairs. Vertex’s previously disclosed failure in the renewable diesel feedstock pumping system was successfully repaired on-time, with facility start-up procedures successfully completed on May 27th. During the quarter, production volumes of renewable diesel were steadily increased to expected Phase 1 target capacity of approximately 8,000 barrels per day.

Feedstock Supply Strategy Advanced. Recent operation and testing of the renewable diesel facility demonstrated stable operations at designed rates with yields at or better than targets. The shorter than anticipated break in period of the renewable diesel facility, combined with deteriorating economics of refined, bleached, deodorized ("RBD") soybean oil feedstock during the quarter drove an acceleration of the Company’s deployment of its longer-term feedstock optimization strategy. The Company recently introduced Distillers Corn Oil or "DCO" into its feedstock blend last week and has advanced a combination of eight different feedstock blends through its feedstock approval process over the last six weeks.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity Update

As of June 30, 2023, Vertex had total debt outstanding of $327.4 million, including lease obligations of $162.1 million. The Company had total cash and equivalents of $52.1 million including $3.6 million of restricted cash on the balance sheet as of June 30, 2023, for a net debt position of $275.3 million. The ratio of net debt to trailing twelve month Adjusted EBITDA was 3.6 times as of June 30, 2023.

On June 12, 2023, the Company successfully executed the exchange of approximately $79.9 million principal amount of its 6.25% Senior Secured Convertible due 2027 into 17.2 million shares of common stock. The Company currently has $15.2 million of remaining principal outstanding in its 6.25% Senior Secured Convertible notes.

PROJECTIONS

The financial projections (the "Projections") included herein were prepared by Vertex in good faith using assumptions believed to be reasonable. A significant number of assumptions about the operations of the business of Vertex were based, in part, on economic, competitive, and general business conditions prevailing at the time the Projections were developed. Any future changes in these conditions, may materially impact the ability of Vertex to achieve the financial results set forth in the Projections. The Projections are based on numerous assumptions, including realization of the operating strategy of Vertex; industry performance; no material adverse changes in applicable legislation or regulations, or the administration thereof, or generally accepted accounting principles; general business and economic conditions; competition; retention of key management and other key employees; absence of material contingent or unliquidated litigation, indemnity, or other claims; minimal changes in current pricing; static material and equipment pricing; no significant increases in interest rates or inflation; and other matters, many of which will be beyond the control of Vertex, and some or all of which may not materialize. The Projections also assume the continued uptime of the Company’s facilities at historical levels and the successful funding of, timely completion of, and successful outcome of, planned capital projects. Additionally, to the extent that the assumptions inherent in the Projections are based upon future business decisions and objectives, they are subject to change. Although the Projections are presented with numerical specificity and are based on reasonable expectations developed by Vertex’s management, the assumptions and estimates underlying the Projections are subject to significant business, economic, and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which will be beyond the control of Vertex. Accordingly, the Projections are only estimates and are necessarily speculative in nature. It is expected that some or all of the assumptions in the Projections will not be realized and that actual results will vary from the Projections. Such variations may be material and may increase over time. In light of the foregoing, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the Projections. The projected financial information contained herein should not be regarded as a representation or warranty by Vertex, its management, advisors, or any other person that the Projections can or will be achieved. Vertex cautions that the Projections are speculative in nature and based upon subjective decisions and assumptions. As a result, the Projections should not be relied on as necessarily predictive of actual future events.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

In addition to our results calculated under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"), in this news release we also present Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Gross Margin, Fuel Gross Margin, Fuel Gross Margin Per Barrel of Throughput, Operating Expenses Per Barrel of Throughput, RIN Adjusted Fuel Gross Margin, RIN Adjusted Fuel Gross Margin Per Barrel of Throughput, Net Long-Term Debt and Ratio of Net Long-Term Debt (collectively, the "Non-GAAP Financial Measures") The Non-GAAP Financial Measures are "non-GAAP financial measures" presented as supplemental measures of the Company’s performance. They are not presented in accordance with GAAP. EBITDA represents net income before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, for continued and discontinued operations. Adjusted EBITDA represents net income (loss) from operations plus unrealized gain or losses on hedging activities, Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) costs (mainly related to Renewable Identification Numbers (RINs), and inventory adjustments, depreciation and amortization, acquisition costs, gain on change in value of derivative warrant liability, environmental clean-up, stock-based compensation, (gain) loss on sale of assets, interest expense, and certain other unusual or non-recurring charges included in selling, general, and administrative expenses. Adjusted Gross Margin is defined as gross profit (loss) plus unrealized gain or losses on hedging activities and inventory valuation adjustments. Fuel Gross Margin is defined as Adjusted Gross Margin, plus production costs, operating expenses and depreciation attributable to cost of revenues and other non-fuel items included in costs of revenues including realized and unrealized gain or losses on hedging activities, RFS costs (mainly related to RINs), inventory valuation adjustments, fuel financing costs and other revenues and cost of sales items. Fuel Gross Margin Per Barrel of Throughput is calculated as fuel gross margin divided by total throughput barrels for the period presented. Operating Expenses Per Barrel of Throughput is defined as total operating expenses divided by total barrels of throughput. RIN Adjusted Fuel Gross Margin is defined as [Fuel Gross Margin minus RIN expense divided by total barrels of throughput. RIN Adjusted Fuel Gross Margin Per Barrel of Throughput is calculated as RIN Adjusted Fuel Gross Margin divided by total throughput barrels for the period presented. Net Long-Term Debt is long-term debt and lease obligations, adjusted for unamortized discount and deferred financing costs, insurance premiums financed, less cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash. Ratio of Net Long-Term Debt is defined as Long-Term Debt divided by Adjusted EBITDA.

The Non-GAAP Financial Measures are presented because we believe they provide additional useful information to investors due to the various noncash items during the period. We believe that the Non-GAAP Financial Measures are also frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies in our industry. We use the Non-GAAP Financial Measures as supplements to GAAP measures of performance to evaluate the effectiveness of our business strategies, to make budgeting decisions, to allocate resources and to compare our performance relative to our peers. Additionally, these measures, when used in conjunction with related GAAP financial measures, provide investors with an additional financial analytical framework which management uses, in addition to historical operating results, as the basis for financial, operational and planning decisions and present measurements that third parties have indicated are useful in assessing the Company and its results of operations. The Non-GAAP Financial Measures are unaudited, and have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our operating results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are: the Non-GAAP Financial Measures do not reflect cash expenditures, or future requirements for capital expenditures, or contractual commitments; the Non-GAAP Financial Measures do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, capital expenditures or working capital needs; the Non-GAAP Financial Measures do not reflect the significant interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on debt or cash income tax payments; although depreciation and amortization are noncash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, the Non-GAAP Financial Measures do not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements; Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Gross Margin, Fuel Gross Margin and RIN Adjusted Fuel Gross Margin represent only a portion of our total operating results; and other companies in this industry may calculate the Non-GAAP Financial Measures differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as a comparative measure. The Company’s presentation of these measures should not be construed as an inference that future results will be unaffected by unusual or nonrecurring items. We compensate for these limitations by providing a reconciliation of each of these non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP measure. We encourage investors and others to review our business, results of operations, and financial information in their entirety, not to rely on any single financial measure, and to view these non-GAAP measures in conjunction with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. For more information on these non-GAAP financial measures, please see the sections titled "Unaudited Reconciliation of Gross Profit (Loss) From Continued and Discontinued Operations to Adjusted Gross Margin, Fuel Gross Margin, Fuel Gross Margin Per Barrel of Throughput, Operating Expenses Per Barrel of Throughput, RIN Adjusted Fuel Gross Margin and RIN Adjusted Fuel Gross Margin Per Barrel of Throughput", "Unaudited Reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to Net loss from Continued and Discontinued Operations", and "Unaudited Reconciliation of Long-Term Debt to Net Long-Term Debt and Ratio of Net Debt", at the end of this release.
