Analysis · MMLP · Trade & Services
The headline loss of $4.1 million masks the operating picture: Adjusted EBITDA rose to $23.6 million from $19.3 million a year ago, and management lifted full-year 2026 Adjusted EBITDA guidance to $94.0 million. Pure sulfur and lubricants carried the quarter while fertilizer stayed deeply negative (fertilizer Adjusted EBITDA swung to -$2.6 million from +$0.7 million). The balance sheet is the constraint: total debt of $483.5 million, leverage at 4.96x and only $21.9 million of revolver availability, with distributable cash flow of just $0.2 million for the quarter and negative $0.6 million year to date. Against that cash generation, the $0.005 per unit distribution is effectively nominal.
