Net Income. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same periods last year, net income decreased primarily due to a$598 million gain on the West Texas Sale in April 2024, as well as increases in interest expense and losses on extinguishment of debt. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in operating income, primarily driven by higher Adjusted EBITDA offset by increased depreciation, amortization and accretion, as well as higher equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates. These increases and decreases are discussed further below.

Adjusted EBITDA (consolidated). For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same periods last year, Adjusted EBITDA increased primarily due to an increase in total segment profit of $11 million and $235 million, respectively, excluding unrealized gains and losses on commodity derivatives and inventory valuation adjustments, primarily related to the acquisitions of NuStar and Zenith European terminals, an increase in Adjusted EBITDA related to unconsolidated affiliates of $48 million and $95 million, respectively, and decreases in operating costs (including operating expenses, general and administrative expenses and lease expense) of $71 million and $15 million, respectively, primarily due to a decrease in general and administrative expenses related to one-time NuStar Acquisition costs in 2024, partially offset by increases in operating expenses.

Additional discussion on the changes impacting net income and comprehensive income (loss) and Adjusted EBITDA for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same periods last year is available below and in “Segment Operating Results.”

Depreciation, Amortization and Accretion. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same periods last year, depreciation, amortization and accretion increased primarily due to additional depreciation and amortization from assets recently placed in service and from recent acquisitions.

Interest Expense, net. For the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period last year, interest expense increased primarily due to an increase in average total long-term debt, including debt assumed in the NuStar Acquisition.

(Gain) Loss on Disposal of Assets and Impairment Charges. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 loss on disposal of assets and impairment charges primarily related to the termination of a lease in June 2024.

Loss on Extinguishment of Debt. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, loss on extinguishment of debt was primarily due to the termination of bridge financing related to the pending Parkland acquisition.

Unreal ized (Gains) Losses on Commodity Derivatives. The unrealized gains and losses on our commodity derivatives represent the changes in fair value of our commodity derivatives. The change in unrealized gains and losses between periods is impacted by the notional amounts and commodity price changes on our commodity derivatives. Additional information on commodity derivatives is included in “Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” below.

Inventory Valuation Adjustments. Inventory valuation adjustments represent changes in lower of cost or market reserves using the LIFO method on the Partnership’s inventory. These amounts are unrealized valuation adjustments applied to fuel volumes remaining in inventory at the end of the period. For the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Partnership's cost of sales included unfavorable inventory valuation adjustments of $40 million and$32 million, respectively, which decreased net income. For the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Partnership's cost of sales included favorable inventory valuation adjustments of $21 million and $98 million, respect ively, which increased net income.

Adjusted EBITDA Related to Unconsolidated Affiliates and Equity in Earnings of Unconsolidated Affiliates. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the increase in the amounts reported related to unconsolidated affiliates was primarily due to the formation of ET-S Permian effective July 1, 2024.

Gain on West Texas Sale. The gain on West Texas Sale relates to the gain recognized by Sunoco LP upon completion of the sale of convenience stores to 7-Eleven Inc. in April 2024.

Income Tax Expense. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same periods last year, income tax expense decreased primarily due to a taxable gain recognized by a corporate subsidiary on the West Texas Sale in April 2024.

Segment Operating Results

We evaluate segment performance based on Segment Adjusted EBITDA, which we believe is an important performance measure of the core profitability of our operations. This measure represents the basis of our internal financial reporting and is one of the performance measures used by senior management in deciding how to allocate capital resources among business segments.

The following tables identify the components of Segment Adjusted EBITDA, which is calculated as follows:

Segment profit, operating expensesand selling, general and administrative expenses. These amounts represent the amounts included in our consolidated financial statements that are attributable to each segment.

Adjusted EBITDA related to 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, such as interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, accretion 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 following analysis of segment operating results includes a measure of segment profit. Segment profit is a non-GAAP financial measure and is presented herein to assist in the analysis of segment operating results and particularly to facilitate an understanding of the impacts that changes in sales revenues have on the segment performance measure of Segment Adjusted EBITDA. Segment profit is similar to the GAAP measure of gross profit, except that segment profit excludes charges for depreciation, amortization and accretion. The most directly comparable measure to segment profit is gross profit.

The following table presents a reconciliation of segment profit to gross profit:

Gross profit$416$488$(72)$913$929$(16)

In addition, for the Fuel Distribution segment, the following sections include information on the components of segment profit by sales type, which components are included in order to provide additional disaggregated information to facilitate the analysis of segment profit and Segment Adjusted EBITDA. These components of segment profit are calculated consistent with the calculation of segment profit; therefore, these components also exclude charges for depreciation, amortization and accretion.

Volumes. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same periods last year, volumes decreased primarily due to the sale of assets in West Texas (the “West Texas Sale”) in April 2024, partially offset by volume increases from investment and profit optimization.

a decrease of $9 million in lease profit due to the West Texas Sale; and

an increase in general and administrative expenses of $3 million due to the pending Parkland acquisition; partially offset by
