Energy Transfer Raises 2024 Profit Forecast on Higher Volumes, Acquisitions
(Reuters) — Energy Transfer on Wednesday raised its full year profit forecast after the U.S. pipeline and storage company posted higher second-quarter profit on the back of strong crude and natural gas liquids (NGL) transportation volumes.
The Dallas-based company has closed a string of acquisitions in recent months as it looks to bolster its NGL business and consolidate on the heels of mergers among its oil and gas customers.
"We still feel like consolidation's going to occur in the midstream," said co-CEO Thomas Long.
Energy Transfer said it expects its full-year adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization of between $15.3 billion and $15.5 billion, up from a previous range of between $15 billion and $15.3 billion.
The company also raised its 2024 growth capital expenditures by about $200 million to about $3.1 billion, due to its recent acquisition and new projects, the company said.
Crude oil transportation volumes in the second quarter rose 22.6% to about 6.5 million barrels per day (bpd), while NGL volumes rose about 4% to about 2.2 million bpd.
The company reported net income attributable to partners of $1.3 billion, or 35 cents per unit, in the three months ended June 30, compared with $911 million, or 25 cents per unit, a year earlier.
