Williams Reports In-Line 1Q, Faces Another Setback on Constitution

The Williams entities reported an in-line first quarter, and earnings are on track to meet our full-year expectations. We plan to maintain our narrow moat ratings and fair value estimates for both. The quarter was a relatively clean one for the entities after asset sales, impairments, and tax reform charges marred the last few quarters, and the earnings power of the underlying pipelines shone through. Overall EBITDA improved 5% year over year to $1.1 billion, led by Transco expansions and higher...

Morningstar | Williams Reports Decent Quarter; Ups Capital Expenditure Guidance Due to DJ Basin/Four Corners

Williams reported a decent quarter, reflective of its steady progress toward executing on a profitable list of pipeline and gathering and processing investments. We plan to maintain our fair value estimates and narrow moat ratings ahead of the shareholder meeting on Aug. 9 where we expect the merger of Williams and Williams Partners to be approved and close shortly thereafter. Adjusted EBITDA of $1.1 billion was up about 6% from last year's results excluding asset sales already completed, driven primarily by Transco expansion projects brought online. Similarly, distributable cash flow of $705 ...

Morningstar | Williams Acquires DJ Basin Assets With Substantial Upside; FVE Unchanged Due to Small Size of Deals

We think Williams' portfolio repositioning is generally intelligent capital allocation, and garnering a foothold in the more attractive DJ Basin is a plus, in our view. Williams has acquired $1.2 billion of DJ Basin assets as part of a joint venture with KKR from TPG, while selling its Four Corners assets (San Juan and other New Mexico assets) for $1.1 billion to Harvest. We plan to maintain our fair value estimates and narrow moat ratings for the Williams entities as the transactions are too small to move the needle on our valuations. Interestingly enough, the transactions essentially modestl...

Contract manufacturer Lonza reported solid half-year results, with over CHF 2.9 billion in total sales year to date, up about 6.4% from last year and boosted by foreign exchange tailwinds. Core EBITDA margin expanded 30 basis points from last year to about 27.8%, helped slightly by new accounting standards.
