Consolidated Results of Operations — Comparison of the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023
Net revenues increased by $8.6 million, or 3.5%, in the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase was primarily driven by the following:
increase in terminalling and marketing fees due to rate increases as well as higher volumes associated with Tyler Refinery operations which were negatively impacted in prior year as a result of turnaround activities.
Such increases were partially offset by the following:
decreased revenue of $0.6 million in our West Texas marketing operations primarily driven by decreases in RIN prices.
Cost of materials and other decreased by $2.4 million, or 1.9%, in the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023, primarily driven by
decrease of $5.2 million in our gathering and processing segment driven primarily by lower natural gas costs.
Such decrease was partially offset by the following:
increase in costs of materials and other of $1.8 million in our West Texas marketing operations primarily driven by increases in the average volumes of gasoline and diesel sold, partially offset by decreases in the average cost per gallon:
the volumes of gasoline and diesel sold increased by 4.0 million and 0.5 million gallons, respectively; and
the average cost per gallon of gasoline and diesel sold decreased by $0.28 per gallon and $0.22 per gallon, respectively.
Operating expenses increased by $7.2 million, or 29.0%, in the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023, primarily driven by an increase in contract services.

Interest Expense
Interest expense increased by $7.6 million, or 23.5%, in the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023, primarily driven by the following:

interest of $2.8 million associated with the 2029 Notes; and
an increase in interest rates associated with the DKL Revolving Facility.
Results from Equity Method Investments
Income from equity method investments increased by $2.2 million, or 34.4%, in the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023 primarily due to increases in throughput at two of our joint ventures that were negatively impacted by the turnaround at the Tyler Refinery in prior year.

Investments in Pipeline Joint Ventures Segment
The Investments in Pipeline Joint Ventures segment relates to strategic Joint Venture investments, accounted for as equity method investments, to support the Delek Holdings operations in terms of offering connection to takeaway pipelines, alternative crude supply sources and flow of high quality crude oil to the Delek Holdings refining system. As a result, Delek Holdings is a major shipper and customer on certain of the Joint Venture pipelines, with minimum volume commitment ("MVC") agreements, which cushion the Joint Venture entities during periods of low activity. The other Joint Venture owners are usually major shippers on the pipelines resulting in a majority of the revenue of the Joint Venture entities coming from MVC agreements with related entities.
Investments in pipeline joint ventures segment include the Partnership's joint ventures investments described in Note 7 of our condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1. Financial Statements, of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Refer to Consolidated Results of Operations above for details and discussion of the investments in pipeline joint ventures segment for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
