CorEnergy Infrastructure Trust, Inc. (NYSE: CORR, CORRPrA) ("CorEnergy" or the "Company") today announced financial results for the second quarter, ended June 30, 2023.
Second Quarter 2023 and Recent Highlights
Management Commentary
"California volumes have held below our 2023 budget expectations while maintenance capital requirements are anticipated to be higher than budgeted. In response, we continue to implement our previously announced mitigation efforts, such as cost reductions, tariff rate increases, asset sales and debt reduction plans. We believe these actions will pave the way to better operating results for the Company upon approval of our pending tariff filings," said Dave Schulte, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "We could also receive a volume benefit upon the recently confirmed conversion of the P66 refinery to renewable diesel early next year, but we do not yet have visibility on the potential demand by other refineries for the estimated 50,000 barrels per day currently shipped on their pipeline to the Rodeo refinery. However, capturing even a small percentage of those volumes is significant for us. For example, if we capture just 5,000 barrels per day, or just 10% of the available volumes, that represents an approximately $3.8 million increase in annual revenue and approximately $3.0 million in annual EBITDA. The proposed $175 million sale of our MoGas and Omega systems to Spire is now expected to close around the end of the calendar year in order to provide additional information requested by the Federal Trade Commission."

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.
2 Non-GAAP financial measure. Adjusted EBITDA excludes special items of $1.9 million and $324 thousand, which are transaction costs and restructuring costs, respectively. 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.
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.
On July 1, 2023, Crimson submitted an application to the CPUC to increase tariffs on the Southern California pipeline by 10%, resulting in a cumulative 21% tariff increase since the original tariff filing. In accordance with CPUC rules, Crimson increased tariffs by 10% on the Southern California pipeline on August 1, 2023.
The Company plans to file and begin collecting an additional 10% increase on its KLM and SPB systems on the anniversary dates of their initial filings until the matters are resolved. CorEnergy believes Crimson's cost-of-service justifies all requested increases. Any tariff increase is subject to refund if the CPUC determines that it was not justified.
Business Development Activities
CorEnergy continues to seek emerging carbon capture and sequestration business opportunities in California that could take advantage of the critical linkages represented by its Crimson systems and rights-of-way, as well as other ways to deploy its asset base in support of California's emerging new energy economy. As part of this effort, the company has funded approximately $1 million of development cost supporting the Lone Cypress Hydrogen Project, a proposed blue hydrogen plant at CRC's Net Zero Industrial Park at Elk Hills Field in Kern County. The plant is expected to produce 60 tons per day of blue hydrogen. The project aims to be California’s first blue hydrogen facility. CorEnergy expects to create a long-term relationship with Lone Cypress and receive the right to co-invest in the project along side California Resources Carbon TerraVault JV Holdco, LLC.
2023 Outlook
CorEnergy revised its outlook for 2023, now calling for:
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.

Forward-Looking Statements
The financial results in this press release reflect preliminary, unaudited results, which are not final until the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is filed. With the exception of historical information, certain statements contained in this press release may include "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, such as those pertaining to our guidance, pursuit of growth opportunities, anticipated transportation volumes, expected rate increases, planned capital expenditures, planned dividend payment levels, planned cost reductions, potential and pending asset sales, expected ESG program updates and developments, future compliance with debt covenants. capital resources and liquidity, and our planned acts relating thereto, and results of operations and financial condition. You can identify forward-looking statements by use of words such as "will," "may," "should," "could," "believes," "expects," "anticipates," "estimates," "intends," "projects," "goals," "objectives," "targets," "predicts," "plans," "seeks," or similar expressions or other comparable terms or discussions of strategy, plans or intentions. 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; 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. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this press release. Other than as required by law, CorEnergy does not assume a duty to update any forward-looking statement. In particular, any dividends paid in the future to our stockholders will depend on the actual performance of CorEnergy, its costs of leverage and other operating expenses and will be subject to the approval of CorEnergy’s Board of Directors and compliance with leverage covenants and other applicable requirements.
1 Management uses Adjusted Net Loss as a measure of profitability and CAD as a measure of long-term sustainable performance. Adjusted Net Loss and CAD are non-GAAP measures. Adjusted Net Loss represents net loss adjusted for transaction costs, restructuring costs, less gain on sale of equipment. CAD represents Adjusted Net 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 transaction costs, restructuring costs, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, income tax benefit, net, and 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.
