Genesis Energy, L.P. is a diversified midstream energy master limited partnership based in Houston, Texas, specializing in offshore pipeline transportation, soda and sulfur services, onshore facilities and transportation, and marine transportation, with operations concentrated in the Gulf of Mexico, Wyoming, and the Gulf Coast region of the United States.
Genesis Energy reported a challenging third quarter of 2024, showing a net loss of $17.2 million compared to a net income of $58.1 million for the same period in 2023. Cash flows from operating activities also declined to $87.3 million from $141.0 million in the previous year. Despite these setbacks, the company declared cash distributions on its preferred units and maintained a total segment margin of $151.1 million.
The company’s offshore pipeline transportation segment suffered due to unexpected delays and mechanical issues at new sub-sea developments, alongside the impact of hurricanes causing producer shut-ins. Meanwhile, the soda ash business faced operational challenges and lower export pricing, though Genesis remains proactive in improving operational efficiencies. The marine transportation segment, however, showed resilience with a 15% increase in segment margin due to higher day rates.
Looking ahead, Genesis Energy remains focused on reaching an inflection point in 2025, where it anticipates stopping growth capital spending and beginning to harvest increasing amounts of Adjusted EBITDA. Despite current challenges, the company maintains confidence in its long-term strategic plans and financial positioning, aiming to deliver sustained value for its stakeholders.
