Sunoco LP (NYSE: SUN) ("SUN" or the "Partnership") today announced financial and operating results for the three- and twelve-month period ended December 31, 2017.
Revenue totaled $3.0 billion, an increase of 4.8 percent, compared to $2.8 billion in the fourth quarter of 2016. The increase was the result of the average selling price of fuel being 25 cents per gallon higher than last year.
Total gross profit decreased to $277 million, compared to $296 million in the fourth quarter of 2016, as a result of lower motor fuel gross profits.
Income from continuing operations was $221 million, including $17 million of intangible impairment charges, versus a loss of $122 million in the fourth quarter of 2016, which included $227 million of goodwill impairment charges.
Income from discontinued operations, net of income taxes, was $11 million, including $23 million of goodwill impairment charges, versus a loss from discontinued operations, net of income taxes, of $463 million in the fourth quarter of 2016, which included $446 million of goodwill and intangibles impairment charges.
Net income was $232 million, or $2.01 per diluted unit, versus a net loss of $585 million, or ($6.32) per diluted unit, in the fourth quarter of 2016.
Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter totaled $158 million, compared with $154 million in the fourth quarter of 2016.
Distributable Cash Flow, as adjusted, was $106 million, compared to $63 million a year ago. This year-over-year increase reflects higher Adjusted EBITDA, decreased maintenance capital spend and a cash tax benefit compared to a cash tax expense a year ago.
On a weighted-average basis, fuel margin for all gallons sold was 15.3 cents per gallon, compared to 14.3 cents per gallon in the fourth quarter of 2016. The 1.0 cent per gallon increase was attributable to higher margins in the wholesale segment.
Net income for the wholesale segment was $47 million compared to $63 million a year ago. Adjusted EBITDA was $90 million, versus $78 million in the fourth quarter of last year. Total wholesale gallons sold were 1,346 million, compared to 1,359 million in the fourth quarter of 2016, a decrease of 1.0 percent. The Partnership earned 11.1 cents per gallon on these volumes, compared to 9.0 cents per gallon a year earlier.
Net income for the retail segment was $185 million compared to a net loss of $648 million a year ago. Adjusted EBITDA was $68 million, versus $76 million in the fourth quarter of last year. Total retail gallons sold were flat with a year ago at 626 million gallons. The Partnership earned 24.2 cents per gallon on these volumes, compared to 25.7 cents per gallon a year earlier.
Total merchandise sales increased by 0.5 percent from a year ago to $568 million(2), reflecting an increase in merchandise and restaurant sales across the Texas oil producing regions. Merchandise sales contributed $173 million of gross profit(3) with a retail merchandise margin of 30.6 percent, an increase of 0.7 percentage points from the fourth quarter of 2016.
Same-store merchandise sales decreased by 0.8 percent and same store gallons decreased by 1.4 percent during the fourth quarter, reflecting weakness across the East Coast. In the Texas oil producing regions, same-store merchandise sales increased by 11.2 percent, and same-store gallons increased 4.8 percent.

- Closed the strategic divestiture of convenience stores in the continental United States to 7-Eleven, Inc. on January 23, 2018 for gross proceeds of approximately $3.2 billion
- Completed the following refinancing and equity repurchase initiatives:

(1) | Excludes the impact of inventory fair value adjustments consistent with the definition of Adjusted EBITDA. |
(2) | EBITDA is defined as earnings before net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, amortization and accretion expense. Adjusted EBITDA further adjusts EBITDA to reflect certain other non-recurring and non-cash items. We define Adjusted EBITDA to also include adjustments for unrealized gains and losses on commodity derivatives and inventory fair value adjustments. We define distributable cash flow as Adjusted EBITDA less cash interest expense, including the accrual of interest expense related to our long-term debt that is paid on a semi-annual basis, Series A Preferred distribution, current income tax expense, maintenance capital expenditures, and other non-cash adjustments. Further adjustments are made to distributable cash flow for certain transaction-related and non-recurring expenses that are included in net income. |
We believe EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow are useful to investors in evaluating our operating performance because: | |
• | Adjusted EBITDA is used as a performance measure under our revolving credit facility; |
• | securities analysts and other interested parties use such metrics as measures of financial performance, ability to make distributions to our unitholders and debt service capabilities; |
• | our management uses them for internal planning purposes, including aspects of our consolidated operating budget, and capital expenditures; and |
• | distributable cash flow provides useful information to investors as it is a widely accepted financial indicator used by investors to compare partnership performance, and as it provides investors an enhanced perspective of the operating performance of our assets and the cash our business is generating. |
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow are not recognized terms under GAAP and do not purport to be alternatives to net income (loss) as measures of operating performance or to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow have limitations as analytical tools, and one should not consider them in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations include: | |
• | they do not reflect our total cash expenditures, or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments; |
• | they do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, working capital; |
• | they do not reflect interest expense or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our revolving credit facility or term loan; |
• | 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 cash requirements for such replacements; and |
• | as not all companies use identical calculations, our presentation of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. |
(3) | Includes amounts from discontinued operations. |
