Dominion Energy Midstream Partners Announces Third-Quarter 2017 Earnings


RICHMOND, Va., Oct. 30, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Dominion Energy Midstream Partners, LP (NYSE: DM) reported unaudited net income attributable to the partnership of $48.6 million for the three months ended Sept. 30, 2017, double third quarter 2016.  Adjusted earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (Adjusted EBITDA) was $76.2 million, nearly three times third quarter 2016. Distributable cash flow was $45.8 million for the quarter, almost 90 percent higher than third quarter 2016. The distribution coverage ratio was 1.28 times at the end of the third quarter.

Dominion Energy Midstream uses Adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow as the primary performance measurements of its earnings and results for public communications with analysts and investors.  Dominion Energy Midstream also uses Adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow internally for budgeting, reporting to the Board of Directors and other purposes. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow provide a more meaningful representation of the partnership's financial performance and liquidity. Schedules B and D of this press release include reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP measures. 

QUARTERLY DISTRIBUTION
On Oct. 24, 2017, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly distribution of $0.3025 per common and subordinated unit, payable on Nov. 15, 2017, to such unitholders of record at the close of business Nov. 6, 2017. This distribution represents a 5 percent increase over last quarter and supports our 22 percent annual distribution growth rate plan.
