HOUSTON, Feb. 14, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Western Gas Partners, LP (NYSE: WES) ("WES" or the "Partnership") and Western Gas Equity Partners, LP (NYSE: WGP) ("WGP") today announced fourth-quarter and full-year 2018 financial and operating results.
WESTERN GAS PARTNERS, LP
Net income (loss) available to limited partners for 2018 totaled $99.2 million, or $0.55 per common unit (diluted), with full-year 2018 Adjusted EBITDA(1) of $1.2 billion and full-year 2018 Distributable cash flow(1) of $958.7 million. Net income (loss) available to limited partners for the fourth quarter of 2018 totaled $18.7 million, or $0.10 per common unit (diluted), with fourth-quarter 2018 Adjusted EBITDA(1) of $347.5 million and fourth-quarter 2018 Distributable cash flow(1) of $257.3 million. These results were primarily impacted by lower than anticipated throughput and margins at our West Texas complex caused by the combined effect of: (i) unplanned weather-related and operational downtime in the field, (ii) operational constraints downstream of the West Texas complex, and (iii) less than optimal recoveries partially associated with the startup of Mentone Train I. Additionally, Adjusted EBITDA(1) includes a non-cash net increase to revenue of $27 million associated with the revenue recognition accounting standard adopted effective January 1, 2018 for certain cost of service contracts, which will be recognized as cash over the life of the applicable contracts.
"The Partnership remains acutely focused on closing the announced simplification transaction and strategic asset acquisition and delivering on our 2019 growth expectations," said Chief Executive Officer, Robin Fielder. "In 2018 we successfully completed the majority of our Delaware basin gathering backbone and placed into service the first train at the Mentone processing facility. With the premier footprint, scalable capacity, and operational leverage of our assets in the Delaware and DJ basins, we remain excited about the future growth and reiterate our full-year 2019 guidance announced in November."
WES paid a quarterly distribution of $0.980 per unit for the fourth quarter of 2018. This distribution represented a 2% increase over the prior quarter's distribution and a 7% increase over the fourth-quarter 2017 distribution. The full-year 2018 distribution of $3.830 per unit represented a 7% increase over the full-year 2017 distribution of $3.590 per unit. The fourth-quarter 2018 Coverage ratio(1) of 1.10 times was based on the quarterly distribution of $0.980 per unit. The Partnership's Coverage ratio(1) for the full-year 2018 was 1.05 times.
Total throughput attributable to WES for natural gas assets for the fourth quarter of 2018 averaged 3.9 Bcf/d, which was 2% higher than the prior quarter and 13% higher than the fourth quarter of 2017. Total throughput for crude oil, NGLs and produced water assets for the fourth quarter of 2018 averaged 434 MBbls/d, which was 3% higher than the prior quarter and 81% higher than the fourth quarter of 2017. For full-year 2018, total throughput attributable to WES for natural gas assets averaged 3.8 Bcf/d, which was 6% higher than the prior-year average. For full-year 2018, total throughput for crude oil, NGLs and produced water assets averaged 365 MBbls/d, which was 82% higher than the prior-year average.
Capital expenditures attributable to WES, including equity investments but excluding acquisitions and capitalized interest, totaled $303.7 million on a cash basis during the fourth quarter of 2018, with maintenance capital expenditures on a cash basis of $29.9 million. For full-year 2018, capital expenditures attributable to WES, including equity investments but excluding acquisitions and capitalized interest, totaled $1,304 million on a cash basis, with maintenance capital expenditures on a cash basis of $91.1 million.

Western Gas Partners, LP Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Measures
Below are reconciliations of (i) net income (loss) attributable to Western Gas Partners, LP (GAAP) to WES's Distributable cash flow (non-GAAP), (ii) net income (loss) attributable to Western Gas Partners, LP (GAAP) and net cash provided by operating activities (GAAP) to Adjusted EBITDA attributable to Western Gas Partners, LP ("Adjusted EBITDA") (non-GAAP), and (iii) operating income (loss) (GAAP) to Adjusted gross margin attributable to Western Gas Partners, LP ("Adjusted gross margin") (non-GAAP), as required under Regulation G of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Management believes that WES's Distributable cash flow, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted gross margin, and Coverage ratio are widely accepted financial indicators of WES's financial performance compared to other publicly traded partnerships and are useful in assessing its ability to incur and service debt, fund capital expenditures and make distributions. Distributable cash flow, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted gross margin and Coverage ratio, as defined by WES, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Therefore, WES's Distributable cash flow, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted gross margin and Coverage ratio should be considered in conjunction with net income (loss) attributable to Western Gas Partners, LP and other applicable performance measures, such as operating income (loss) or cash flows from operating activities.
Western Gas Partners, LP Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Measures, continued
Distributable Cash Flow
WES defines Distributable cash flow as Adjusted EBITDA, plus interest income and the net settlement amounts from the sale and/or purchase of natural gas, condensate and NGLs under WES's commodity price swap agreements to the extent such amounts are not recognized as Adjusted EBITDA, less Service revenues – fee based recognized in Adjusted EBITDA (less than) in excess of customer billings, net cash paid (or to be paid) for interest expense (including amortization of deferred debt issuance costs originally paid in cash, offset by non-cash capitalized interest), maintenance capital expenditures, Series A Preferred unit distributions and income taxes.
