Conference Call Scheduled for 9:00 a.m. CT (10:00 a.m. ET) on Thursday, February 23
DALLAS, Feb. 22, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Sunoco LP (NYSE: SUN) ("SUN" or the "Partnership") today announced financial and operating results for the three and twelve-month periods ended December 31, 2016.
Revenue totaled $4.3 billion, an increase of 4.9 percent, compared to $4.1 billion in the fourth quarter of 2015. The increase was the result of growth in wholesale and retail fuel gallons sold and higher merchandise sales, partly offset by a one cent per gallon decrease in the average selling price of fuel.
Total gross profit was $561.9 million, compared to $464.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2015. Key drivers of the increase were higher retail and wholesale motor fuel profits due to an increase in total gallons sold.
Loss from operations was $568.4 million, versus income from operations of $51.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2015, reflecting a goodwill impairment charge of $641.6 million and an intangible asset impairment charge of $32.0 million recorded during the fourth quarter, both of which were non-cash items. General and administrative expenses increased $17.9 million from the fourth quarter 2015 to $67.2 million primarily due to acquisition costs and expenses incurred with the opening of a corporate office in Dallas, Texas. Other operating expenses increased $10.9 million from the fourth quarter 2015 to $267.2 million as a result of stores acquired or opened in the last 12 months.
Net loss attributable to partners was $585.2 million, or ($6.32) per diluted unit, versus net income attributable to partners of $7.8 million, or ($0.13) per diluted unit, in the fourth quarter of 2015.
Adjusted EBITDA attributable to partners (1) for the quarter totaled $153.6 million, compared with $188.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2015. The unfavorable year-over-year comparison reflects lower cent per gallon fuel margins in the retail and wholesale segments and lower merchandise gross profit contribution.
Distributable cash flow attributable to partners (1), as adjusted, was $62.6 million, compared to $90.1 million a year ago. This year over year decrease reflects an increase in cash interest expense, income tax expense and maintenance capital expenditures.
On a weighted-average basis, fuel margin for all gallons sold decreased to 14.3 cents per gallon, compared to 15.7 cents per gallon in the fourth quarter of 2015. The decrease was primarily attributable to increased product costs experienced during the fourth quarter.
Net income attributable to partners for the wholesale segment was $61.4 million compared to a net loss of $10.2 million a year ago. Adjusted EBITDA was $76.9 million, versus $82.7 million in the fourth quarter of last year. Total wholesale gallons sold were 1,358.7 million, compared to 1,241.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2015, an increase of 9.5 percent as a result of contribution from third party acquisitions during the last 12 months. This includes gallons sold to consignment stores and third-party customers, including independent dealers, fuel distributors and commercial customers. The Partnership earned 9.0 cents per gallon on these volumes, compared to 9.6 cents per gallon a year earlier.
Net loss attributable to partners for the retail segment was $646.6 million compared to a net income of $17.9 million a year ago. Adjusted EBITDA was $76.7 million, versus $106.0 million in the fourth quarter of last year. Total retail gallons sold increased by 1.0 percent to 626.1 million gallons as a result of the contribution from third party acquisitions and new-to-industry locations opened during the last 12 months. The Partnership earned 25.7 cents per gallon on these volumes, compared to 27.8 cents per gallon a year earlier.
Total merchandise sales increased by 3.8 percent from a year ago to $565.8 million, reflecting the contribution from third party acquisitions and new-to-industry locations opened during the last 12 months. Merchandise sales contributed $169.0 million of gross profit with a retail merchandise margin of 29.9 percent, a decrease of 1.2 percentage points from the fourth quarter of 2015.
Same-store merchandise sales were flat during the fourth quarter, reflecting growth in SUN's East Coast operations offset by continued weakness in convenience store operations in Texas, particularly in the oil producing regions. Same-store gallons decreased by 1.9 percent as a result of weakness throughout the state of Texas, particularly lower year-over-year activity in oil producing regions. In the Texas oil producing regions, same-store merchandise sales decreased by 4.2 percent, and same-store gallons declined 3.9 percent. Excluding the oil producing regions, same-store merchandise sales increased by 0.7 percent, and same-store gallons decreased by 1.7 percent.
As of December 31, 2016, SUN operated 1,345 convenience stores and retail fuel outlets along the East Coast, in the Southwest and in Hawaii. Third party wholesale customers totaled 7,845.
SUN's other recent accomplishments include the following:
- Completed the previously announced acquisition of the convenience store, wholesale motor fuel distribution and commercial fuels distribution businesses serving East Texas and Louisiana from Denny Oil Company for $54.6 million plus inventory on hand at closing, subject to closing adjustments. The acquisition includes six company-operated locations and 127 supply contracts with dealer-owned and dealer-operated sites and over 500 commercial customers. This transaction closed on October 12, 2016.
- Retained NRC Realty & Capital Advisors, LLC on January 18, 2017 to assist with strategic alternatives for 99 real estate assets. Real estate assets in this process are company-owned locations, undeveloped greenfield sites and other excess real estate.
SUN's segment results and other supplementary data are provided after the financial tables below.

Distribution
On February 1, 2017 the Board of Directors of SUN's general partner declared a distribution for the fourth quarter of 2016 of $0.8255 per unit, which corresponds to $3.3020 per unit on an annualized basis. This distribution was unchanged from the third quarter and represented a 3.0 percent increase compared with the fourth quarter of 2015. The distribution was paid on February 21 to unitholders of record on February 13.
SUN's distribution coverage ratio for the fourth quarter was 0.61 times. The distribution coverage ratio on a trailing 12-month basis was 0.98 times.
Liquidity
At December 31, SUN had borrowings against its revolving line of credit of $1.0 billion and other long-term debt of $3.6 billion. Availability on the revolving credit facility after borrowings and letters of credit commitments was $469.0 million. In the fourth quarter of 2016, SUN issued 2.8 million common units through its at-the-market equity program, generating net proceeds of $71.4 million. Net debt to Adjusted EBITDA, calculated in accordance with SUN's revolving credit facility, was 6.50 times at the end of the fourth quarter.
(1) Adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow are non-GAAP financial measures of performance that have limitations and should not be considered as a substitute for net income. Please refer to the discussion and tables under "Reconciliations of Non-GAAP Measures" later in this news release for a discussion of our use of Adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow, and a reconciliation to net income.
