Forward Guidance
Genesis Energy is adjusting its full year guidance for Adjusted EBITDA to a range of $725 - $745 million. The company expects financial performance in 2024 to be greater than 2023, driven by a continued ramp in offshore volumes and additional volumes from the Granger expansion. In 2025, a significant step change in offshore volumes and segment margin contributions is expected as both Shenandoah and Salamanca come on-line.
Positive Outlook
- Volumes from Argos are expected to ramp towards its nameplate capacity of 140,000 barrels per day.
- Steady volumes are expected from King’s Quay and new volumes from additional in-field development wells, field extensions and sub-sea tiebacks.
- The CHOPS expansion and new SYNC lateral are expected to be completed in the second half of 2024.
- The Granger expansion project remains on schedule for first soda ash production in the next few months.
- The company expects to exit 2023 with a leverage ratio at or near its long-term target of 4.00 times.
Challenges Ahead
- Softer than previously expected soda ash prices in some export markets are anticipated.
- Slowing global industrial production and a slower than anticipated re-opening of China’s economy are impacting soda ash demand.
- Customers are working through existing soda ash inventories and taking a wait and see approach with new purchases.
- The company has made the proactive decision to adjust pricing on potentially stranded soda ash volumes.
- Legacy sulfur services business was impacted by certain operational issues at host refinery partners.
