Revenues from our midstream segment are primarily reflected in natural gas sales, NGL sales and gathering, transportation and other fees. Revenues from our NGL and refined products transportation and services segment are primarily reflected in NGL sales and gathering, transportation and other fees. Revenues from our crude oil transportation and services segment are primarily reflected in crude sales.

We report Segment Adjusted EBITDA (defined below) as the measure of segment performance reviewed by our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”). The role of the CODM is held by the Partnership’s co-chief executive officers (“co-CEOs”). Both of the co-CEOs fulfill specific functions that impact the allocation of resources and assessment of performance among our reportable segments, including the approval of budgets and the evaluation of growth projects and acquisitions. The Partnership’s co-CEOs receive and review the same information with respect to the Partnership’s segment operating results.

The co-CEOs use Segment Adjusted EBITDA to allocate resources (including employees, property, and financial or capital resources) for each segment predominantly in the annual budget and forecasting process. The co-CEOs also use Segment Adjusted EBITDA to assess the performance for each segment and in the compensation of certain employees. The co-CEOs consider forecast-to-actual variances on a monthly basis when making decisions about allocating capital and personnel to the segments. Assets by segment are not a measure used to assess our performance by the co-CEOs and thus are not reported in our disclosures.

We define Segment Adjusted EBITDA as total Partnership earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, depletion, amortization and other non-cash items, such as non-cash compensation expense, gains and losses on disposals of assets, the allowance for equity funds used during construction, unrealized gains and losses on commodity risk management activities, inventory valuation adjustments, non-cash impairment charges, losses on extinguishments of debt, certain foreign currency transaction gains and losses, other non-operating income or expense items and certain non-recurring gains and losses. Inventory valuation adjustments that are excluded from the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA represent only the changes in lower of cost or market reserves on inventory that is carried at LIFO. These amounts are unrealized valuation adjustments applied to Sunoco LP’s fuel volumes remaining in inventory at the end of the period.

Segment Adjusted EBITDA and consolidated Adjusted EBITDA reflect amounts for unconsolidated affiliates based on the same recognition and measurement methods used to record equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates. Adjusted EBITDA related to unconsolidated affiliates excludes the same items with respect to the unconsolidated affiliate as those excluded from the calculation of Segment Adjusted EBITDA and consolidated Adjusted EBITDA, such as interest, taxes, depreciation, depletion, amortization and other non-cash items. Although these amounts are excluded from Adjusted EBITDA related to unconsolidated affiliates, such exclusion should not be understood to imply that we have control over the operations and resulting revenues and expenses of such affiliates. We do not control our unconsolidated affiliates; therefore, we do not control the earnings or cash flows of such affiliates. The use of Segment Adjusted EBITDA or Adjusted EBITDA related to unconsolidated affiliates as an analytical tool should be limited accordingly.

The following tables present financial information by segment:

(1)Amounts reflected above exclude Sunoco LP’s earnings from the ET-S Permian and J.C. Nolan joint ventures, which are eliminated in consolidation.

(1)Other segment items include, if applicable to a segment, Adjusted EBITDA related to unconsolidated affiliates and other income and expense items. The amounts reflected above include the reversal of unrealized gains and losses, because such amounts are included in cost of products sold in the table above but are excluded from Segment Adjusted EBITDA. For the investment in Sunoco LP segment, this also includes inventory valuation adjustments.

(1)Amounts are presented on the accrual basis, net of contributions in aid of construction costs. Amounts exclude acquisitions and include only the Partnership’s proportionate share of capital expenditures related to joint ventures.

(1)Amounts reflected above exclude Sunoco LP’s investments in the ET-S Permian and J.C. Nolan joint ventures, which are eliminated in consolidation.
