What were the main drivers of Enterprise Products Partners' revenue growth in the second quarter of 2005?

Revenue growth was driven by a combination of factors including a significant increase in overall sales volumes, particularly in NGL and petrochemical marketing activities, and higher energy commodity market prices. Additionally, revenues were boosted by the inclusion of businesses acquired or consolidated since June 30, 2004, most notably the assets from the GulfTerra Merger and the South Texas midstream assets.

How did the company manage its debt and capital during this period?

Enterprise Products Partners actively managed its capital structure by issuing new debt, including $1 billion in Senior Notes (K, I, and J), and completing a significant equity offering in February 2005 that generated approximately $456.7 million in net proceeds. These actions provided substantial liquidity to fund capital expenditures for growth projects, business combinations, and general partnership purposes, while also repaying existing debt obligations.

What are the key business segments for Enterprise Products Partners, and how did they perform?

The company operates across four main segments: Offshore Pipelines & Services, Onshore Natural Gas Pipelines & Services, NGL Pipelines & Services, and Petrochemical Services. The NGL Pipelines & Services segment was a significant contributor, benefiting from increased NGL prices and volumes. The Onshore Natural Gas Pipelines & Services segment also showed strong performance, largely due to assets acquired in the GulfTerra Merger. While the Petrochemical Services segment experienced some margin compression due to declining propylene prices, the overall diversified portfolio demonstrated resilience.

Were there any significant acquisitions or divestitures during this period?

Yes, the company made several key acquisitions. This included acquiring additional interests in Dixie Pipeline Company, which led to its consolidation, and further investments in Mid-America and Seminole pipelines, increasing ownership to 100% and 90% respectively. The company also acquired interests in Indian Springs Gathering System and processing facility, and Belle Rose NGL Pipeline LLC. In July 2005, post-quarter, they acquired NGL underground storage and terminaling assets from Ferrellgas. The company also divested its 50% interest in Starfish as required for regulatory approval of the GulfTerra Merger.
