Second Quarter 2023 Highlights:
Guidance:
Hess Midstream LP (NYSE: HESM) (“Hess Midstream”) today reported second quarter 2023 net income of $147.9 million compared with net income of $151.8 million for the second quarter of 2022. After deduction for noncontrolling interests, net income attributable to Hess Midstream was $25.1 million, or $0.50 basic earnings per Class A share compared with $0.51 basic earnings per Class A share in the second quarter of 2022. Hess Midstream generated Adjusted EBITDA of $248.1 million. Distributable Cash Flow (“DCF”) for the second quarter of 2023 was $202.6 million and Adjusted Free Cash Flow was $154.3 million.
“Hess Midstream delivered another quarter of strong operational and financial results driven by our continued focus on gas capture and Hess Corporation's Bakken performance, supporting continued return of capital to our shareholders,” said John Gatling, President and Chief Operating Officer of Hess Midstream. “We are increasing our 2023 gas throughput guidance and reiterating our expectation for substantial volume growth across all of our systems through 2025, which is expected to result in sustained excess free cash flow generation and allow us to continue our demonstrated track record of differentiated shareholder returns.”
Hess Midstream’s results contained in this release are consolidated to include the noncontrolling interests in Hess Midstream Operations LP owned by affiliates of Hess Corporation (“Hess”) and Global Infrastructure Partners (“GIP” and together with Hess, the “Sponsors”). We refer to certain results as “attributable to Hess Midstream LP,” which exclude the noncontrolling interests in Hess Midstream Operations LP owned by the Sponsors.
(1) Adjusted EBITDA, Distributable Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow are non‑GAAP measures. Definitions and reconciliations of these non‑GAAP measures to GAAP reporting measures appear in the following pages of this release
Financial Results
Revenues and other income in the second quarter of 2023 were $324.0 million compared with $313.4 million in the prior-year quarter. Second quarter 2023 revenues included $18.6 million of pass-through electricity, produced water trucking and disposal costs and certain other fees and $2.2 million of shortfall fees related to minimum volume commitments (“MVC”) compared with $19.9 million and $57.7 million, respectively, in the prior-year quarter. Second quarter 2023 revenues and other income were up $10.6 million compared to the prior-year quarter primarily due to higher tariff rates partly offset by lower shortfall fees due to the transition from higher MVC levels in 2022 to actual physical volumes in 2023 that are at or above MVCs. Total operating costs and expenses in the second quarter of 2023 were $125.9 million, up from $118.1 million in the prior-year quarter. The increase was primarily attributable to higher operating expenses and higher depreciation expense for additional assets placed in service. Interest expense in the second quarter of 2023 was $43.8 million, up from $37.4 million in the prior-year quarter primarily attributable to higher interest rates on the Term Loan A and revolving credit facilities.
Net income for the second quarter of 2023 was $147.9 million, or $0.50 basic earnings per Class A share, after deduction for noncontrolling interests, compared with $0.51 basic earnings per Class A share in the prior-year quarter. Substantially all of income tax expense was attributed to earnings of Class A shares reflective of our organizational structure. Net cash provided by operating activities for the second quarter of 2023 was $204.6 million.
Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2023 was $248.1 million. Relative to distributions, DCF for the second quarter of 2023 of $202.6 million resulted in an approximate 1.4x distribution coverage ratio. Adjusted Free Cash Flow for the second quarter of 2023 was $154.3 million. At June 30, 2023, Hess Midstream had a drawn balance of $198.0 million on its revolving credit facility.
Operational Highlights
Throughput volumes increased 23% for gas processing and 19% for gas gathering in the second quarter of 2023 compared with the second quarter of 2022 primarily due to higher production, including third-party volumes, higher gas capture, and recovery from severe weather in the second quarter of 2022. Water gathering volumes increased 34% reflecting continued steady organic growth of our water handling business. Throughput volumes in the second quarter of 2023 compared with the second quarter of 2022 increased 16% for terminaling and 7% for crude oil gathering primarily due to higher production and higher third-party volumes.
Capital Expenditures
Capital expenditures for the second quarter of 2023 totaled $52.1 million, including $48.3 million of expansion capital expenditures and $3.8 million of maintenance capital expenditures, and were primarily attributable to continued expansion of our gas compression capacity. Capital expenditures in the prior-year quarter were $71.7 million, including $70.5 million of expansion capital expenditures and $1.2 million of maintenance capital expenditures, and were also primarily attributable to expansion of our gas compression capacity.
Quarterly Cash Distributions
On July 24, 2023, our general partner’s board of directors declared a quarterly cash distribution of $0.6011 per Class A share for the second quarter of 2023. The distribution represents an approximate 2.7% increase in the quarterly distribution per Class A share for the second quarter of 2023 as compared with the first quarter of 2023. The increase consists of an approximate 1.5% increase in Hess Midstream's distribution level per Class A share in addition to the quarterly 1.2% increase per Class A share consistent with its target of at least 5% growth in annual distributions per Class A share through 2025. The distribution is expected to be paid on August 14, 2023, to shareholders of record as of the close of business on August 3, 2023.
Updated Guidance
Hess Midstream continues to target at least 5% annual distribution growth per Class A share through 2025 from this new higher distribution level with expected annual distribution coverage of at least 1.4x and continues to prioritize financial strength with a long-term leverage target of 3x Adjusted EBITDA. For 2024 and 2025, Hess Midstream continues to expect organic throughput volume growth across all systems relative to 2023 volume guidance.
Hess Midstream is increasing its gas gathering and gas processing throughput guidance for full year 2023 and updating its full year 2023 net income, Adjusted EBITDA, DCF and Adjusted Free Cash Flow guidance based on strong year-to-date operational performance. Additionally, Hess Midstream is further updating its net income, DCF and Adjusted Free Cash Flow guidance to include the impact of an incremental $10 million in expected interest expense on borrowings under its credit facility used to fund the Class B unit repurchase transactions. The updated net income guidance also includes the impact of an incremental $5 million in expected income tax expense resulting from ownership changes following the previously completed Class B unit repurchase and secondary equity offering transactions.
Hess Midstream reiterates its guidance of at least 10% per year expected growth in net income and Adjusted EBITDA in each of 2024 and 2025, and approximately 10% annualized growth in throughput volumes across gas, oil and water systems from 2023 levels as implied in our already-established MVCs for 2025.

Reconciliation of U.S. GAAP to Non‑GAAP Measures
In addition to our financial information presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), management utilizes certain additional non‑GAAP measures to facilitate comparisons of past performance and future periods. “Adjusted EBITDA” presented in this release is defined as reported net income (loss) before net interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization and our proportional share of depreciation of our equity affiliates, as further adjusted to eliminate the impact of certain items that we do not consider indicative of our ongoing operating performance, such as transaction costs, other income and other non‑cash and non‑recurring items, if applicable. “Distributable Cash Flow” or “DCF” is defined as Adjusted EBITDA less net interest, excluding amortization of deferred financing costs, cash paid for federal and state income taxes and maintenance capital expenditures. DCF does not reflect changes in working capital balances. We define “Adjusted Free Cash Flow” as DCF less expansion capital expenditures and ongoing contributions to equity investments. We define "Gross Adjusted EBITDA Margin" as the ratio of Adjusted EBITDA to total revenues, less pass-through revenues. We believe that investors’ understanding of our performance is enhanced by disclosing these measures as they may assist in assessing our operating performance as compared to other publicly traded companies in the midstream energy industry, without regard to historical cost basis or, in the case of Adjusted EBITDA, financing methods, and assessing the ability of our assets to generate sufficient cash flow to make distributions to our shareholders. These measures are not, and should not be viewed as, a substitute for GAAP net income or cash flow from operating activities and should not be considered in isolation. Reconciliations of Adjusted EBITDA, DCF, Adjusted Free Cash Flow and Gross Adjusted EBITDA Margin to reported net income (GAAP) and net cash provided by operating activities (GAAP), are provided below. Hess Midstream is unable to project net cash provided by operating activities with a reasonable degree of accuracy because this metric includes the impact of changes in operating assets and liabilities related to the timing of cash receipts and disbursements that may not relate to the period in which the operating activities occur. Therefore, Hess Midstream is unable to provide projected net cash provided by operating activities, or the related reconciliation of projected Adjusted Free Cash Flow to projected net cash provided by operating activities without unreasonable effort.

As and when made, we believe that our forward-looking statements are reasonable. However, given these risks and uncertainties, caution should be taken not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements since such statements speak only as of the date when made and there can be no assurance that such forward-looking statements will occur and actual results may differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement we make.
