Suburban Propane: Be Wary Of This Melting Ice Cube

Summary Suburban Propane is rated 'Sell' due to secular decline and excess debt, despite recent outperformance and a secure 6.6% dividend yield. SPH's Q2 EBITDA was flat at $175 million, with strong H1 results driven by an unusually cold winter in the Northeast. Leverage remains elevated at 4.3x, with management prioritizing debt reduction over distribution growth for the next 18-24 months. SPH faces ongoing headwinds from improved home insulation, fuel substitution, and slow secular decline, warranting a fair value estimate of ~$17.50. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha

Suburban Propane's 40% Gain In 6 Months Needs Cautious Watching

Summary Suburban Propane has outperformed the S&P 500 in the past six months, gaining close to 40%. Institutional buying and a major ETF's purchase have contributed to the stock's appreciation. The company's pattern of performing well in January and selling off in February and March suggests waiting to see if the increase is sustained. Propane's cleaner energy footprint, as well as the company's investment in renewable natural gas, renewable propane, and other green energy companies, has attracted interest and contributed to the price increase. The MLP's distribution has been paid for 27 years, but not without cuts along the way that have made it more secure going forward. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha

Suburban Propane: M&A Rumors Boost Stock Price, Maintain Hold

Summary Suburban Propane Partners' business fundamentals continue to be weak, with dil. EPS declining 12% YoY. The stock's recent surge could be due to unsubstantiated rumours of a potential M&A transaction with another large industry player. Without any concrete news on the M&A front and the potential for another warm winter, I remain cautious on Suburban and maintain my hold rating. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha

Suburban Propane: Downgrading To Hold On Softening Fundamentals

Summary Suburban Propane Partners' business fundamentals are deteriorating, with YTD's diluted EPS declining YoY due to poor expense management. The acquisition of RNG facilities has led to increased operating expenses and G&A expenses without a commensurate large increase in revenues. Although Suburban maintained its quarterly distribution of $0.325/unit, downside risks are rising. I am downgrading Suburban to a hold. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha

Suburban Propane Partners Is Facing A Challenging Macroeconomic Backdrop

Summary Suburban Propane Partners faces operational challenges due to tighter margins in the natural gas market and a high leverage ratio of 5.53x, potentially making it a value trap. The company is investing in renewable energy sources, which may yield value in FY24/25, but may face challenges in the meantime due to the decline in natural gas and propane prices. The author gives Suburban a price target of $8.69/unit, or 8x EV/EBITDA, considering the risks presented in the commodities market and the company's high leverage ratio.

Suburban Propane Partners: Steady Q1, Further Expansion Into RNG

Summary SPH delivered a strong start to fiscal 2023 with Q1/23 revenues of $397.5 million and $0.71 in EPS. Suburban also expanded in the RNG market by purchasing 2 existing plants for $190 million. Without associated financials, it is hard to judge the quality of the transaction. SPH maintained its quarterly distribution of $0.325. Overall, Suburban Propane Partners L.P. (SPH) continues to be a beacon of stability in a volatile macro environment. The underlying business continues to perform well, with 3.3% volume growth in Q1/2023 and $0.71 / share in EPS. Looking forward, the large price tags placed on RNG transactions gives me some pause, is management overpaying? Without any financial statements to analyze, it is hard to gauge the economics and valuations of SPH's RNG transactions. For now, I will give management the benefit of the doubt. Strong Start To Fiscal 2023 On February 3rd, Suburban announced its results for the 1st quarter of fiscal 2023, ended December 24, 2022. SPH's quarterly results were solid, with the company reporting revenues of $397.5 million, a 5.9% YoY increase from Q1/2022. Operating income was also strong, increasing 67.0% YoY to $62.3 million, and EPS was $0.71, a 108.8% YoY increase from $0.34. Customer base growth and cooler than average temperatures in December (which improved heating demand) were the primary drivers of the strong operating results, as retail propane volumes increased 3.3% YoY. Figure 1 - SPH Q1/2023 revenues (SPH Q1/2023 10Q report) SPH's bounce back in quarterly profits also helped assuage some investor concerns that were raised in the fourth quarter, when SPH reported a loss of $0.86 / share on the back of MTM losses on derivatives. As I wrote in my prior note, "The key is to track the unrealized MTM gains and losses over time and make sure they even out." It was comforting to see SPH report Q1 COGS of 46.0%, a 6.3% YoY improvement from 52.3% in Q1/2022, showing no residual effects from Q4's MTM hedging losses (Figure 2). Figure 2 - SPH Q1/2023 gross profits (SPH Q1/2023 10Q report) SPH's Q1/2023 gross margin of 54.0% is also consistent with the company's long-term gross margins of ~50% (Figure 3). Figure 3 - SPH historical gross margin (Author created with data from roic.ai) Operating Expenses Continue To Creep Higher One area that deserves monitoring is SPH's operating expenses line, which increased 9.4% YoY due to labour and vehicle fuel increases (Figure 4). As a percentage of revenues, operating expenses rose to 29.1% from 28.2% in Q1/2022, indicating the business had gotten less efficient. Figure 4 - SPH Q1/2023 operating expenses (SPH Q1/2023 10Q report) Further Expansion Into RNG A few months ago, I highlighted SPH's entry into the renewable natural gas ("RNG") market an agreement with Adirondack Farms to build and operate a biodigester to produce RNG. SPH followed up with an announcement on December 28, 2022 that the company was acquiring a platform of two producing RNG assets from Equilibrium Capital Group for $190 million. The purchase of $190 million includes a large-scale RNG production facility in Stanfield, Arizona, that is currently operating with manure rights from ~55,000 dairy cattle and an interconnect to an interstate pipeline. It also includes an operating facility in Columbus, Ohio, that is currently receiving a tipping fee from several large food and beverage companies for processing food wastes into fertilizer and biogas. in addition, the deal includes the right of first offer for a third RNG facility that is currently being developed by Equilibrium and a joint venture (70% SPH / 30% Equilibrium) to invest in future RNG projects. The large $190 million price tag was a bit of a surprise to me and shows SPH is committed to developing its RNG business. SPH is funding the transaction with $120 million in revolving credit and the assumption of $80 million in outstanding green bonds. RNG Refresher Renewable Natural Gas ("RNG"), for those not familiar, is pipeline quality natural gas that is made from the decomposition of bio materials such as landfills, livestock, and waste treatment plants. While there is certainly an element of hype surrounding RNG, its promise of greenhouse gas reduction with an ability to plug into existing natural gas infrastructure is alluring. Based on a 2018 presentation by SoCal Gas, the U.S. has enough biomass to produce ~1Tcf of RNG (Figure 5). So the potential is enormous.

Suburban Propane Partners: Turning Waste Into Future Distribution Growth

Summary Suburban Propane Partners surprised and disappointed unitholders back in late 2022 when they failed to provide any distribution growth. Thankfully, their cash flow performance remains favorable and recently enjoyed a strong start to their fiscal year 2023. More so, it is now clearer why they skipped on distribution growth as they have recently announced a sizable $190m acquisition. This sees them move into renewable natural gas, which I view as a good fit for their partnership, although the profitability remains to be proven. At least their financial position can absorb the cost, and thus, I believe that maintaining my buy rating is appropriate. Introduction Despite the once-strong distribution growth outlook for Suburban Propane Partners (SPH), back in late 2022, it was both surprising and disappointing to see no distribution growth, as my previous article expressed. Following their recently announced sizable Equilibrium acquisition, thankfully the reasoning is clearer with management electing to double down on building out their clean energy business segment via renewable natural gas, which sees the potential of turning waste into future distribution growth. Coverage Summary & Ratings Since many readers are likely short on time, the table below provides a brief summary and ratings for the primary criteria assessed. If interested, this Google Document provides information regarding my rating system and importantly, links to my library of equivalent analyses that share a comparable approach to enhance cross-investment comparability. Author Detailed Analysis Author When it comes to their operating cash flow, it once again continued its steady performance, if looking annually and thus disregarding its typical seasonality. Since their fiscal year 2022 ended after conducting my previous analysis, it can now be seen their operating cash flow landed at $220.5m and thus is very similar to their previous results of $226.6m and $209.4m during their fiscal years 2021 and 2020, respectively. Even though they ramped up their capital expenditure building out their clean energy business segment during their fiscal year 2022, they still generated $120.1m of free cash flow that provided strong coverage of 146.97% to their accompanying distribution payments of $81.7m. Author If viewing their cash flow performance on a quarterly basis, we can take a look into their most recent results for the first quarter of their fiscal year 2023. As for their reported results, their operating cash flow was barely visible at only $6.3m, although this is normal as one year prior, they saw a result of negative $13.3m. Upon removing their routine large working capital movements, their underlying results were much higher year-on-year with $62.4m versus $41.4m across these same two points in time, thereby seeing a strong start to their latest fiscal year. Whilst their cash flow performance is important to monitor, the big news is actually the building out their clean energy business segment that recently took its most notable move so far, being their Equilibrium acquisition. This sees the partnership spending $190m to acquire renewable natural gas assets, which are expected to be accretive to their financial performance starting from their fiscal year 2024. Renewable natural gas is produced from waste and importantly, it is interchangeable with traditional natural gas, as per the quote included below. "Renewable natural gas ((RNG)) is a pipeline-quality gas that is fully interchangeable with conventional natural gas and thus can be used in natural gas vehicles. RNG is essentially biogas (the gaseous product of the decomposition of organic matter) that has been processed to purity standards. Like conventional natural gas, RNG can be used as a transportation fuel in the form of compressed natural gas ((CNG)) or liquefied natural gas ((LNG))." -Alternative Fuels Data Center. In my eyes, this is a more suitable and lower-risk investment than their earlier hydrogen investments that were discussed within my previously linked article, mostly because natural gas already sees wide and extremely well-established demand. Since renewable natural gas is interchangeable but carries better environmental credentials, it lowers the risks versus hydrogen that is still more of an emerging fuel source and thus by extension, sees a less certain future. If this pans out as hoped, it stands to build upon their existing free cash flow, thereby effectively turning waste into future distribution growth once they complete this growth era. That said, until the results hit their financial statements in the coming years, unitholders will have to sit back and wait because the extent of its profitability remains to be proven. Author Since conducting the previous analysis, their subsequent two fiscal quarters saw their net debt broadly track sideways to $1.106b following the first quarter of their fiscal year 2023 versus its previous level of $1.072b following the third quarter of their fiscal year 2022. This is keeping in practice with the last couple of fiscal years but when looking ahead, the next report should see their net debt spike circa 17% as a result of their $190m Equilibrium acquisition. Author Due to the typical seasonality in their financial performance, there is no point in comparing their latest leverage ratios to those seen when conducting the previous analysis. More so, their full-year results paint an accurate picture and most recently, their fiscal year 2022 ended with a net debt-to-EBITDA of 4.05 and a net debt-to-operating cash flow of 4.87. Whilst these are in the high territory of between 3.51 and 5.00, they are certainly not crippling nor a reason for alarm given their reasonably stable and cash-generating propane business segment. When looking ahead, in the short-term their Equilibrium acquisition is likely to push these towards the very high territory as their net debt spikes higher, mainly their net debt-to-operating cash flow. If this scales higher around 17% in tandem, its latest full-year result of 4.87 would increase to 5.70 and thus cross the threshold of 5.01 the very high territory. Despite not being ideal, in the medium to long-term the additional earnings expected to flow from their fiscal year 2024 onwards should help revert this lower. That said, whether these are sufficient remains to be seen and thus, it is now becoming clearer why management previously elected to halt their distribution growth whilst they integrate this sizeable acquisition. Author Similar to their leverage, their debt serviceability is also affected by the seasonality in their financial performance, thereby rendering anything but full-year results useless. Thankfully, they have routinely sported sufficient interest coverage across both fiscal years 2021 and 2022 with the latter seeing results of 3.40 and 3.64 when compared against their EBIT and operating cash flow, respectively. Even though higher net debt will weigh on their interest coverage in the short-term, this means it should be manageable until the earnings begin flowing from their new renewable natural gas assets in 2024.
