Gibson Energy Inc. (TSX:GEI) ("Gibson" or the "Company") announced
today its financial and operating results for the three and twelve
months ended December 31, 2024.
“We are pleased to announce record
Infrastructure results for 2024, driven by a full year of
contribution from Gateway," said Curtis Philippon, President &
Chief Executive Officer. "Exiting the year, the quality and
stability of our Infrastructure cash flows improved due to
successful re-contracting efforts and record throughput at both
Gateway and Edmonton. We also announced exciting growth capital
projects at Gateway. I am pleased with the progress we are making
on setting up the Gibson team, increasing our focus on the
business, strengthening our growth pipeline and building a
high-performance culture.”
Financial Highlights:
- Revenue of $11,780
million for the full year, including $2,358 million in the fourth
quarter, relatively consistent year over year primarily due to
higher sales volumes within the Marketing segment and the revenue
contribution from the Gateway Terminal
- Infrastructure
Adjusted EBITDA(1) of $601 million for the full year, including
$147 million in the fourth quarter, a $107 million or 22% increase
over full year 2023 primarily due to the full year contribution
from the Gateway Terminal and an Edmonton tank, which were only
partially offset by a reduction from the Hardisty Unit Train
Facility and the impact of certain one-time items
- Marketing Adjusted
EBITDA(1) of $63 million for the full year, including a $5 million
loss in the fourth quarter, an $82 million or 57% decrease over
full year 2023 principally due to significantly tighter crude oil
differentials and crack spreads, and increased demand for Canadian
heavy oil triggering steep backwardation and limited volatility,
impacting storage, quality and time-based opportunities
- Adjusted EBITDA(1)
on a consolidated basis of $610 million for the full year,
including $130 million in the fourth quarter, a $20 million or 3%
increase over full year 2023, due to the impact of unrealized gains
and losses on financial instruments recorded in both periods and
the factors noted above, partially offset by the add back of
certain one-time items, and an increase in general and
administrative expenses, net of executive transition and
restructuring costs
- Net income of $152
million for the full year 2024, including a $6 million loss in the
fourth quarter, a $62 million or 29% decrease over full year 2023
due to the impact of items noted above, higher general and
administrative costs primarily due to executive transition and
restructuring costs, the impact of the Gateway acquisition that
resulted in higher finance costs, depreciation and amortization
expenses, and an environmental remediation provision, partially
offset by acquisition and integration costs in the prior year and a
lower income tax expense
- Distributable Cash
Flow(1) of $375 million for the full year, including $71 million in
the fourth quarter, an $11 million or 3% decrease over full year
2023, primarily due to higher finance costs, partially offset by
higher Adjusted EBITDA and lower lease payments
- Dividend Payout
ratio(2) on a trailing twelve-month basis of 71%, which is at the
low end of the 70% – 80% target range
- Net debt to
Adjusted EBITDA ratio(2) of 3.5x for the twelve months ended
December 31, 2024, which is at the high end of the 3.0x – 3.5x
target range, compared to 3.7x for the twelve months ended December
31, 2023
Strategic Developments and
Highlights:
- Appointed Curtis
Philippon as the President and Chief Executive Officer, effective
August 29, 2024
- Announced the
extension of a long-term contract with an investment grade global
E&P company at the Gateway Terminal and the sanction of a
connection to the Cactus II Pipeline in July
- Refinanced $350
million 5.80% senior unsecured notes due 2026 with $350 million of
4.45% senior unsecured notes due in November 2031, resulting in
annual cost savings of approximately $5 million
- Announced the
extension of a long-term contract and the sanctioning of the
dredging project at the Gateway Terminal in December which, along
with the earlier announcements, will allow the Company to achieve
its Gateway targets
- Placed in-service
two new 435,000 barrel tanks under a long-term take-or-pay
agreement with an investment grade customer at the Edmonton
Terminal in December
- Achieved a new
milestone, recording 8.8 million hours without a lost time injury
for our employee and contract workforce
- Subsequent to the
quarter, appointed Riley Hicks as the Senior Vice President and
Chief Financial Officer, effective February 4, 2025
- Subsequent to the
quarter, Gibson’s Board of Directors also approved a quarterly
dividend of $0.43 per common share, an increase of $0.02 per common
share or 5%, beginning with the dividend payable in April
