Martin Midstream Partners Reports Termination Of Previously Announced Agreement And Plan Of Merger With Martin Resource Management

Martin Midstream Partners L.P. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MMLP#NASDAQ">MMLP</a>) ("MMLP") today issued the following statement in response to the press release issued by Nut Tree Capital Management and Caspian Capital:
The Conflicts Committee (the "Conflicts Committee") of the Board of Directors (the "GP Board") of Martin Midstream GP LLC, the general partner of MMLP (the "General Partner"), which consists of three independent directors, conducted a thorough nine-month evaluation with the support of independent legal and financial advisors and was diligent about the best path forward for MMLP, including actively considering proposals submitted by Nut Tree Capital Management and Caspian Capital. Following extensive negotiations, the Conflicts Committee unanimously and in good faith determined that the merger transaction with Martin Resource Management Corporation ("MRMC") is fair and reasonable to, and in the best interests of, MMLP and the unaffiliated holders of the MMLP common units.
The transaction provides an attractive premium valuation to MMLP unitholders, whereby each holder of the common units other than MRMC and its subsidiaries would receive $4.02 per common unit owned, representing a 34.00% premium to the market closing price prior to MRMC's initial proposal made on May 24, 2024, and an 11.33% premium to the trailing 30-trading day volume-weighted average price as of October 3, 2024, the date the merger agreement was executed.

NEW YORK, Oct. 22, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Nut Tree Capital Management L.P. ("Nut Tree") and Caspian Capital L.P. ("Caspian"), today announced that they intend to oppose the proposed sale of Martin Midstream Partners L.P. ("MMLP" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MMLP#NASDAQ">MMLP</a>) to Martin Resource Management Corporation ("MRMC"), an affiliate of the Company's General Partner, for $4.02 per MMLP common unit not already owned by MRMC. Nut Tree and Caspian have combined economic exposure in the Company of approximately 13.2% of the outstanding common units through certain cash-settled derivative agreements and are aligned with MMLP unitholders who are unaffiliated with MRMC in seeking to protect the long-term value of the Company.
Nut Tree and Caspian believe that the proposed sale price significantly undervalues the Company and its prospects, and that if the merger is completed on its current terms, MRMC will receive significant upside for itself that rightfully belongs to all MMLP unitholders. Nut Tree and Caspian intend to file a proxy statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission and solicit votes "AGAINST" the proposed transaction at the Company's upcoming special meeting to be held to approve the related merger agreement.&nbsp;

With an impressive 7% dividend yield and a strong track record of distributable cash flow growth, MPLX LP (MPLX) has become an attractive option for income-seeking investors. But what makes this energy stock truly reliable for the long haul? Read on to find out… MPLX LP (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/MPLX/">MPLX</a>) is a diversified, large-cap master limited partnership (MLP) that owns and operates midstream energy infrastructure and logistics assets and provides fuel distribution services. It is a fast-growing midstream energy company with strong distributable cash flow and consistent excess dividend coverage, offering a 7% <a href="https://www.investopedia.com/terms/d/dividend.asp">dividend</a> yield.
In the third quarter of 2024, the company reported $1.45 billion in distributable cash flow, marking a 5.3% year-over-year increase. Over the last three years, MPLX has grown its cash flow at an annualized rate of 7.7%, fueling dividend hikes of over 10% annually. These steady raises, including a 12.5% bump last October, have further solidified its appeal to income investors.
The company's expansion projects, such as the Blackcomb and Rio Bravo pipelines and upgrades to the BANGL natural gas liquids system, are poised to deliver incremental cash flow as they come online. Moreover, with a low leverage ratio of 3.4 and robust cash flow, the MLP has the flexibility to fund its expansion projects while maintaining its hefty dividend.
Given its strong financial health and ongoing expansion projects, MPLX appears primed to continue rewarding its investors. Shares of MPLX have surged 10.9% over the past three months and 31.3% over the past year, closing the last trading session at $48.76.
Now, let us delve deeper into the factors that could shape MPLX's performance in the near future.
Strong Financials
For the fiscal 2024 third quarter that ended September 30, MPLX's total revenues and other income increased 2.1% year-over-year to $2.97 billion. Its income from operations grew 10.5% from the prior year's quarter to $1.27 billion.
The company's attributable net income rose 13% year-over-year to $1.04 billion and $1.01 per unit, while its adjusted EBITDA came in at $1.71 billion, up 7.4% year-over-year. As of September 30, 2024, MPLX's cash and cash equivalents amounted to $2.43 billion compared to $1.05 billion on December 31, 2023.
Attractive Dividend
On November 15, 2024, the company paid a quarterly dividend of $0.96 per common unit, representing an increase of 12.5% from the previous quarter. MPLX pays a $3.83 per unit dividend annually, which translates to a 7.91% yield on the current share price. Its four-year dividend yield is 9.31%.
The company's dividend payouts have grown at CAGRs of 8.2% and 5.8% over the past three and five years, respectively. Moreover, MPLX has a record of 11 years of consecutive dividend growth.
Favorable Analyst Expectations
Analysts expect MPLX's revenue to increase 3.3% year-over-year to $3.06 billion for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2024. The consensus earnings per share estimate of $1.03 for the same period indicates a 6.4% improvement from the previous year's quarter.
In addition, for the fiscal first quarter ending March 2025, MPLX's revenue and EPS are expected to increase 6.6% and 5.3% year-over-year to $3.03 billion and $1.03, respectively.
