The following is a summary of the Gibson Energy Inc. (GBNXF) Q3 2024 Earnings Call Transcript:
Financial Performance:
Gibson Energy reported a strong Q3 with adjusted EBITDA of $151 million, slightly up from the previous year, primarily due to increased contributions from the Infrastructure segment.
The Infrastructure segment recorded $150 million in adjusted EBITDA, $10 million higher year-over-year, driven by a full quarter contribution from the Gateway acquisition.
Marketing segment EBITDA was approximately $14 million, declining due to softer demand in refined products and fewer crude marketing opportunities.
Distributable cash flow was approximately $88 million, impacted by returning to normalized income tax levels and increased capital expenditures.
Business Progress:
Construction of two new tanks at the Edmonton Terminal is on schedule with expected operational start by year-end, enhancing storage and connectivity.
The Cactus II connection at the Gateway terminal, expected to service in Q3 2025, will provide access to approximately 700,000 barrels a day of incremental Permian supply.
Ongoing discussions for extending a second contract at Gateway Terminal, leveraging the terminal's increased capabilities from strategic upgrades like the potential dock deepening.
Opportunities:
Growth in infrastructure driven by strong customer demand and strategic asset enhancements such as the Edmonton Terminal expansion and Gateway terminal connections.
Pursuit of incremental growth through capital projects focused around existing asset bases, with considerations on energy transition aligned with infrastructure fundamentals.
Risks:
Marketing segment performance anticipated to be modest in the near term due to low Western Canadian storage levels and soft drilling fluid demand, affecting volatility and profitability.
