Westmoreland Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2016 Results

28.03.2017  |  GlobeNewswire

Generates Record Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow

Provides 2017 Guidance

ENGLEWOOD, Colo., March 28, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Westmoreland Coal Company (Nasdaq:WLB) today reported its fourth quarter and full year 2016 financial results and provided its 2017 guidance.

2016 Results and Highlights:

Fourth Quarter:

  • Revenues of $392.7 million from 15.0 million tons sold
  • Net loss applicable to common shareholders of $7.6 million, or $0.41 per share
  • Record high quarterly adjusted EBITDA of $89.1 million

Full Year:

  • Revenues of $1.5 billion from 54.7 million tons sold
  • Net loss applicable to common shareholders of $27.1 million, or $1.47 per share, including a tax benefit
  • Record high annual adjusted EBITDA of $271.9 million
  • Cash flow provided by operating activities of $151.9 million
  • Higher-than-expected free cash flow of $112.6 million

Westmoreland's Chief Executive Officer, Kevin Paprzycki, commented, “During 2016, we delivered on our two main commitments of maximizing free cash flow generation and reducing our debt position, which we achieved while reporting record adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow. This is a direct result of the resiliency of our business model and outstanding performance by our operators, despite an otherwise challenging market environment. We also took steps to significantly reduce the cash burn from our non-core assets, Coal Valley and ROVA, and to position them such that we are more aggressively pursuing strategic alternatives. As we look toward 2017, we remain focused on maximizing cash generation and strengthening our balance sheet, supported, in part, by the recent Capital Power prepayment, which provides additional financial flexibility to pursue our goals.”

Safety

Westmoreland’s commitment to safety in all aspects of its operations is again reflected in the safety metrics below.

Year Ended December 31, 2016
Reportable Rate Lost Time Rate
U.S. Surface Operations 1.34 0.70
U.S. National Surface Average 1.44 0.96
Percentage 93 % 73 %
U.S. Underground Operations 3.23 2.09
U.S. National Underground Average 4.95 3.56
Percentage 65 % 59 %
Canadian Operations 2.82 0.89

Consolidated and Segment Results

Consolidated adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter was $89.1 million, an increase of 51% when compared with the fourth quarter of 2015. Consolidated adjusted EBITDA for 2016 was $271.9 million, an increase of 22% when compared to 2015. The acquisition of San Juan in the Coal - U.S. segment in early 2016 contributed meaningfully to an increase in consolidated adjusted EBITDA for both the fourth quarter and full year 2016. Increased revenue within the Coal - U.S. segment and solid execution on cost savings initiatives throughout the business, particularly within the Coal - U.S. and Coal - WMLP segments, also drove higher adjusted EBITDA in the fourth quarter and full year 2016. This was offset somewhat by lower net loan and lease receivable activity in the Coal - Canada segment. The restatement, described below, added consolidated adjusted EBITDA of $6.1 million to the full year 2016.

Cash Flow and Liquidity

Westmoreland’s free cash flow for 2016 was $112.6 million, driven by record adjusted EBITDA and successful working capital initiatives. Working capital added $30.1 million to free cash flow in 2016, of which $13.0 million was the direct result of the supply chain team's focus on inventory management. Also benefiting working capital was the timing of payables.

Free cash flow is the net of cash flow provided by operations of $151.9 million, less capital expenditures of $46.1 million, plus net cash collected under certain contracts for loan and lease receivables of $6.8 million. Included in cash flow provided by operations were cash uses for interest expense of $96.3 million and $32.5 million for asset retirement obligations.

During the year, Westmoreland added $37.1 million to its cash balances to end the year with cash on hand of $60.1 million. This cash increase was driven by free cash flow generation of $112.6 million; borrowings, net of repayments, of $49.9 million; and proceeds from asset sales of $7.7 million; partially offset by cash used for debt issuance of $8.8 million and net cash used to purchase San Juan of $121.0 million.

Gross debt plus capital lease obligations at December 31, 2016 totaled $1.1 billion. During 2016, repayments of long-term debt totaled $70.4 million. There was $36.3 million available to draw, net of letters of credit, on Westmoreland's revolving credit facility at December 31, 2016.

Restatement

On February 24, 2017, Westmoreland announced that it would restate its previously issued financial statements as a result of changes in accounting for its customer reclamation receivables. Westmoreland’s 2016 Form 10-K contains restated consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, and all interim periods during 2016 and 2015.

2017 Full Year Guidance

Westmoreland’s 2017 Outlook is provided in the table below.

Commenting on the outlook for 2017, Mr. Paprzycki said, “Our 2017 outlook is similar to our 2016 expected performance as our resilient business model continues to yield consistent, predictable results.”

Key year-over-year changes impacting guidance include:

  • Of the total $52 million payment related to the Genesee Mine, as announced previously, approximately $40 million is incremental to adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow in 2017 compared to the amount Westmoreland expected to receive in the normal course of business during 2017.

  • Contract expirations (Jewett and Beulah), continued market softness in Ohio, a planned extended outage at a key customer, and a conservative view on weather resulting from the warm winter season thus far in 2017, are also expected to impact adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow and coal tons sold.

  • Westmoreland expects to generate strong cash flow again this year. In addition to the payment from Capital Power, free cash flow is expected to benefit from positive working capital and breakeven cash flow at Coal Valley. Westmoreland also expects to receive nearly $10 million from the release of ROVA cash collateral, which is not part of the free cash flow calculation, but is available for use in de-levering and other corporate purposes.
Guidance Summary 2017
Coal tons sold 40 - 50 million tons
Adjusted EBITDA $280 - $310 million
Free cash flow $115 - $140 million
Capital expenditures $40 - $50 million
Cash interest Approximately $95 million

Notes

Westmoreland presents certain non-GAAP financial measures including adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow that management believes provide meaningful supplemental information and provide meaningful comparability to prior periods. Reconciliations of non-GAAP to GAAP measures are presented in the accompanying tables.

Non-GAAP Reconciliations (Unaudited)

The tables below show how the Company calculates and reconciles to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA (including a breakdown by segment), and free cash flow.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and free cash flow are supplemental measures of financial performance that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and free cash flow are included in this news release because they are key metrics used by management to assess Westmoreland’s operating performance and as a basis for strategic planning and forecasting. Westmoreland believes that EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and free cash flow are useful to an investor in evaluating the Company’s operating performance because these measures:

  • are used widely by investors to measure a company’s operating performance without regard to items excluded from the calculation of such terms, which can vary substantially from company to company depending upon accounting methods and book value of assets, capital structure and the method by which assets were acquired, among other factors;
  • are used by rating agencies, lenders and other parties to evaluate creditworthiness; and
  • help investors to more meaningfully evaluate and compare the results of Westmoreland’s operations from period to period by removing the effect of the Company’s capital structure and asset base from the Company’s operating results.

Neither EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, nor free cash flow are measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. The items excluded from EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and free cash flow are significant in assessing Westmoreland’s operating results. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and free cash flow have limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, analysis of the Company’s results as reported under GAAP.

Other companies in Westmoreland’s industry and in other industries may calculate EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and free cash flow differently from the way that Westmoreland does, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures. Because of these limitations, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and free cash flow should not be considered as measures of discretionary cash available to the Company to invest in the growth of its business. Westmoreland compensates for these limitations by relying primarily on its GAAP results and using EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and free cash flow only as supplemental data.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

EBITDA (earnings before interest expense, interest income, income taxes, depreciation, depletion, amortization and accretion expense) and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP measures that do not reflect the Company’s cash expenditures, or future requirements for capital and major maintenance expenditures or contractual commitments; do not reflect income tax expenses or the cash requirements necessary to pay income taxes; do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, the Company’s working capital needs; and do not reflect the significant interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on certain of the Company’s debt obligations. In addition, although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future and EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements. Westmoreland considers Adjusted EBITDA to be useful because it reflects operating performance before the effects of certain non-cash items and other items that it believes are not indicative of core operations. The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA to assess operating performance.

_________________
(1) Includes the impact of cost of sales related to the sale of inventory written up to fair value in the acquisition of Westmoreland Resources GP, LLC, the general partner of WMLP.
(2) Represents a return of and on capital. These amounts are not included in operating income or operating cash flows, as the capital outlays are treated as loan and lease receivables but are included within Adjusted EBITDA so that the cash received by the Company is treated consistently with all other contracts within the Company that do not result in loan and lease receivable accounting.

Free Cash Flow

Free cash flow represents net cash provided by (used in) operating activities less additions to property, plant and equipment (“CAPEX” or “capital expenditures”) plus net customer payments received under loan and lease receivables. Free cash flow is a non-GAAP measure and should not be considered as an alternative to cash and cash equivalents, cash flow from operations, cash flow from investing activities, cash flow from financing activities, net income (loss) or any other measure of performance presented in accordance with GAAP. Free cash flow is intended to represent cash flow available to satisfy our debts, after giving consideration to those expenses required to maintain our assets and infrastructure. Accordingly, although free cash flow is not a measure of performance calculated in accordance with GAAP, the Company believes free cash flow is useful to investors because it allows analysts and others in the industry to assess performance, liquidity and ability to satisfy debt requirements.
