Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. (PAA) and Plains GP Holdings have reported Q2 2014 results, with PAA鶹ýӳs results exceeding the midpoint of its quarterly guidance range by 13%. PAA鶹ýӳs Q2 2014 results exceeded the midpoint of quarterly guidance in all three of PAA鶹ýӳs segments.
鶹ýӳPAA delivered solid second-quarter results, exceeding the high-end of our initial guidance range and slightly ahead of our updated outlook provided in June,鶹ýӳ stated Greg L. Armstrong, Chairman and CEO of Plains All American. 鶹ýӳThese results were driven by over performance in our Transportation and Supply and Logistics segments.鶹ýӳ
Armstrong added, 鶹ýӳPAA remains on track to achieve its distribution growth objective of 10% for 2014, while maintaining attractive distribution coverage. PAA鶹ýӳs quarterly distribution of US$ 0.6450 per unit, to be paid next week, represents a 9.8% increase over the quarterly distribution paid in August 2013. Given PAA鶹ýӳs trajectory, PAGP also remains on track to achieve its distribution growth objective of 25% for 2014. PAGP鶹ýӳs quarterly distribution of US$ 0.1834 per share represents a 7.5% increase over the quarterly distribution paid in May of 2014 and a 23.1% increase over the initial quarterly distribution included in PAGP鶹ýӳs October 2013 initial public offering prospectus.
As a result of PAA鶹ýӳs first half performance and our outlook for near baseline performance for the remainder of the year, we have increased our full-year adjusted EBITDA guidance by US$ 25 million to a mid-point of US$ 2.175 billion,鶹ýӳ said Armstrong. 鶹ýӳOur 2014 capital expansion programme is proceeding well as we continue to advance a number of attractive projects included in our multi-billion dollar project portfolio. Furthermore, we are well positioned financially, ending the second quarter with a strong balance sheet, credit metrics favorable to PAA鶹ýӳs targeted credit profile and approximately US$ 2.2 billion of committed liquidity.鶹ýӳ
