Vertex Energy Reports Third Quarter 2020 Results
11/10/2020 - 06:30 AM
HOUSTON, TX / ACCESSWIRE / November 10, 2020 / Vertex Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ:VTNR) ("Vertex" or the "Company"), a leading specialty refiner and marketer of high-quality hydrocarbon products, today announced its financial results for the third quarter of 2020.
THIRD QUARTER 2020 RESULTS
Myrtle Grove (Belle Chasse, Louisiana refining complex) initiates Phase One start-up; facility to supply pre-treated feed to Company's Marrero, Louisiana re-refining facility and renewable diesel markets 36% Q/Q organic growth in direct used motor oil (UMO) collections, supported by improved vehicle miles traveled Marrero, Louisiana refinery impacted by eight days of Hurricane-related unplanned downtime Heartland (Columbus, Ohio) refinery operated at peak utilization, supported by stable demand for base oils Total cash and available liquidity of $16.9 million as of September 30, 2020 (including $10.1 of total cash limited to use by two special purpose vehicles) For the three months ended September 30, 2020, the Company reported a net loss attributable to Vertex Energy of ($2.4) million , versus a net loss of ($1.1) million for the third quarter of 2019. Vertex reported Adjusted EBITDA of ($0.5) million for the third quarter of 2020, versus ($1.9) million in the prior-year period. On a sequential basis, Adjusted EBITDA increased $4.8 million in the third quarter of 2020, when compared to the second quarter of 2020. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. A schedule reconciling the Company's GAAP and non-GAAP financial results, including Adjusted EBITDA, is included later in this release. See also "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information" below.
During August and September, two Hurricanes brought severe flooding and high winds that adversely impacted operations in the Gulf Coast and, specifically at the Company's Marrero, Louisiana refinery, while also limiting outbound shipments of finished product along adjacent waterways between Houston and New Orleans for approximately two weeks. Weather-related disruptions at the Marrero refinery more than offset organic growth in direct Used Motor Oil (UMO) collections and a strong performance at the Heartland refinery, which operated at peak capacity during the third quarter of 2020.
STRATEGIC UPDATE
In response to current market conditions, Vertex executed on its business transformation plan during the third quarter, positioning the organization to support long-term organic growth in UMO collections, optimize asset utilization and maintain capital discipline.
Organic collections growth. Total direct used motor oil collections increased 36% in the third quarter of 2020, when compared to the second quarter of 2020, as on-road vehicle miles traveled increased during the period. Although total vehicle miles traveled declined on a year-over-year basis due to pandemic-related disruptions, total direct collections increased 5% in the third quarter of 2020, versus the prior year's comparable period.Asset optimization. The Marrero and Heartland refineries operated at 90% and 99% of capacity in the third quarter, respectively, given increased access to feedstock, coupled with stable demand for refined products. At Marrero, the Company conducted eight days of unplanned, hurricane-related maintenance, which impacted utilization in the period. Vertex continues to evaluate targeted organic growth opportunities designed to improve its utilization of existing, owned assets. During the third quarter, Vertex initiated start-up operations at its co-owned Myrtle Grove facility in Belle Chasse, Louisiana. Beginning in the first quarter of 2021, management expects to begin pre-treating non-conforming oils at the facility that will be supplemented as feedstock for the Marrero refinery. In addition to this pre-treatment focus, the Company is evaluating additional pre-treatment technologies that will process raw vegetable oils as feedstock to the developing renewable diesel refining market. Vertex continues to invest in several initiatives designed to grow its market presence around producing next-generation energy solutions. Management expects to provide an update on these initiatives on its year-end 2020 conference call in early 2021.Maintain capital discipline. Given current market volatility, Vertex remains focused on conserving available liquidity to support the long-term growth of its business. As of September 30, 2020, the Company had total cash and available liquidity of $16.9 million , versus $19.6 million as of June 30, 2020. Included in total cash amounts are $10.1 million in cash held in the Company's special purpose vehicles (SPVs) relating to its Myrtle Grove and Heartland assets, which are limited to use by each SPV, respectively.MANAGEMENT COMMENTARY
"Despite pandemic and hurricane-related headwinds, we generated both sequential and year-over-year growth in Adjusted EBITDA during the third quarter," stated Benjamin P. Cowart, President and CEO of Vertex. "As shelter-in-place orders were lifted earlier this year, travel activity increased back toward normal levels during the third quarter, contributing to improved availability of UMO feedstock. To that end, total direct collections increased 36% on a sequential basis in the third quarter, supported by increased vehicle miles traveled, together with organic volume growth from new customers."
"We initiated a Phase One start-up of operations at our Myrtle Grove facility during the third quarter," continued Cowart. "Beginning in the first quarter 2021, we plan to begin supplying our Marrero refinery with pre-treated intermediates from Myrtle Grove, consistent with our continued focus on asset optimization. We are currently in discussions with third-parties to fund a project at Myrtle Grove that would allow us to begin commercially treating raw vegetable and other organic waste oils that refiners can use as a feedstock in the production of renewable diesel fuel. Our development team is currently evaluating three separate technologies that will allow us to begin a renewable diesel pre-treatment process. This project has the potential to be a significant catalyst for growth, further positioning our business as a leading supplier of renewable and alternative feedstocks."
"Refined product spreads are challenged and remain below long-term historical levels. As the global economy recovers, we anticipate increased demand for low-sulfur marine fuels, together with a corresponding recovery in margin realization. In the interim, we intend to allocate resources toward quick-hit organic growth investments that leverage our expertise as a recycler of used automotive waste streams, while continuing to reduce non-essential costs throughout the organization," continued Cowart.
"Consistent with our commitment to maximize value for all investors in Vertex, we have launched an internal review of strategic alternatives for our business," concluded Cowart. "These alternatives may include continuing as a public standalone organization, going private or selling certain assets to a strategic partner, subject to the review and approval of our Board of Directors. There is no formal timeline for this process, nor have we chosen any one specific alternative at this time. We will provide further updates on the matter at such time that our Board determines appropriate."
BALANCE SHEET
As of September 30, 2020, the Company had total cash and availability on its lending facility of $15.5 million (including $10.1 which is required to be used for our SPVs) and $1.4 million , respectively.
Vertex had total long-term debt outstanding of $11.1 million as of September 30, 2020, which included $4.2 million related to funds received under the Paycheck Protection Program (the "PPP") which is part of the recently enacted Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act ("CARES Act"). Under the terms of the PPP, the entire balance of the loan may be forgiven to the extent that cash proceeds are used for qualifying expenses. As of the date of this release, the Company believes it has allocated the entirety of PPP funds received toward qualifying expenses.

Any statements made in this news release other than those of historical fact, about an action, event or development, are forward-looking statements. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, which may cause the results of Vertex Energy, its divisions and concepts to be materially different than those expressed or implied in such statements. These risk factors and others are included from time to time in documents Vertex Energy files with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including, but not limited to, its Form 10-Ks, Form 10-Qs and Form 8-Ks. These reports are available at www.sec.gov. Other unknown or unpredictable factors also could have material adverse effects on Vertex Energy's future results.

USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION
This earnings release discusses "EBITDA", "Adjusted EBITDA" and free cash flows. EBITDA represents net income before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA before stock-based compensation expense and gain (loss) on change in value of derivative warrant liability and unrealized gains and losses on derivative instruments for hedging activities. Free cash flow represents net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, less capital expenditures. These measurements are not recognized in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and should not be viewed as an alternative to GAAP measures of performance. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flows are presented because we believe they provide additional useful information to investors due to the various noncash items during the period. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flows have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our operating results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are: (a) EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flows do not reflect cash expenditures, or future requirements for capital expenditures, or contractual commitments; (b) EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flows do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, working capital needs; EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flows do not reflect the significant interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on debt or cash income tax payments; (c) although depreciation and amortization are noncash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future and EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flows do not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements; and (d) other companies in this industry may calculate EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flows differently than Vertex Energy does, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.
