During the six months ended June 30, 2024, domestic markets have experienced an elevated hydrocarbon pricing environment that has resulted in a strong demand for hydrocarbons and presented an opportunity for the Partnership to leverage its extensive network of logistics assets, resulting in increased throughputs and higher utilization as compared to the prior year. Additionally, Delaware Gathering further diversifies our logistics customer base to include significantly more third-party customers, and it allows us to provide comprehensive logistics services in the Delaware Basin, while also serving as a funnel into our existing midstream Permian activities. As producers continue to ramp up production within the Permian Basin, the Partnership is well positioned to continue to add value through our gathering and processing services as a result of our Delaware Gathering operations which complement our existing Midland Gathering System assets. Our positioning allows our customers the ability to control quality and adds optionality to place barrels in a variety of markets. Through our joint venture projects, we have increased our supply network to take advantage of growth opportunities in expanding markets and added additional flexibility which has delivered realized value through the Partnership system. Net Income for the Partnership increased $4.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to the prior year period. Our EBITDA (as defined in "Non GAAP Measures" section below) increased $18.0 million in 2024 as compared to 2023. This improvement can be attributed to the strong financial and operational performance achieved across all of our operating segments. Our gathering and processing segment saw a $4.3 million increase in segment EBITDA. Our wholesale marketing and terminalling segment saw a $5.5 million increase in segment EBITDA. Our storage and transportation segment saw a $6.5 million increase in segment EBITDA. Segment EBITDA for our investments in pipeline joint ventures increased by $2.8 million. See the “Results of Operations” section below for further discussion.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, domestic markets have experienced an elevated hydrocarbon pricing environment that has resulted in a strong demand for hydrocarbons and presented an opportunity for the Partnership to leverage its extensive network of logistics assets, resulting in increased throughputs and higher utilization as compared to the prior year. Additionally, the H2O Acquisition as well as our Delaware Gathering operations further diversify our logistics customer base to include significantly more third-party customers, and it allows us to provide comprehensive logistics services in the Delaware and Midland Basins, while also serving as a funnel into our existing midstream Permian activities. As producers continue to ramp up production within the Permian Basin, the Partnership is well positioned to continue to add value through our gathering and processing services as a result of our Delaware Gathering operations which complement our existing Midland Gathering System assets. Our positioning allows our customers the ability to control quality and adds optionality to place barrels in a variety of markets. Through our joint venture projects, we have increased our supply network to take advantage of growth opportunities in expanding markets and added additional flexibility which has delivered realized value through the Partnership system. Net Income for the Partnership increased $3.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to the prior year period. Our EBITDA (as defined in "Non GAAP Measures" section below) decreased $11.1 million in 2024 as compared to 2023. This decrease is largely attributable to a change in classification of certain of our commercial agreements with Delek, which meet the criteria to be classified as sales-type leases. As such, certain throughput and storage fees that were previously recorded as revenue are now recorded as interest income under sales-type lease accounting. Our gathering and processing segment saw a $6.2 million decrease in segment EBITDA. Our wholesale marketing and terminalling segment saw a $2.3 million increase in segment EBITDA. Our storage and transportation segment saw a $3.9 million decrease in segment EBITDA. Segment EBITDA for our investments in pipeline joint ventures increased by $9.1 million with the acquisition of the W2W Investment from Delek Holdings.

The operational assets in our gathering and processing segment consist of Midland Gathering Assets and Delaware Gathering Assets. The Midland Gathering Assets support our crude oil gathering activities which primarily serves Delek Holdings refining needs throughout the Permian Basin. The Delaware Gathering Assets support our crude oil and natural gas gathering, processing and transportation businesses, as well as water disposal and recycling operations, located in the Delaware Basin of New Mexico, and serving primarily third-party producers and customers. Finally, our gathering and processing assets are integrated with our pipeline assets, which we use to transport gathered crude oil as well as provide other crude oil, intermediate and refined products transportation in support of Delek Holdings' refining operations in Tyler, Texas, El Dorado, Arkansas and Big Spring, Texas, as well as to certain third parties. In providing these services, we do not take ownership of the refined products or crude oil that we transport. While we do not take ownership of gas that is gathered, we sell the processed gas at a market price which we remit to the producer, net of our fees. Therefore, we are not directly exposed to changes in commodity prices with respect to this operating segment. The combination of these operational assets provides a comprehensive, integrated midstream service offering to producers and customers.

Fluctuations in crude oil, natural gas and NGL prices and the prices of related refined and other hydrocarbon products impact operations in the midstream energy sector. For example, the prices of each of these products have the ability to influence drilling activity in many basins and the amounts of capital spending that crude oil exploration and production companies incur to support future growth. Exploration and production activities have a direct impact on volumes transported through our gathering assets in the geologic basins in which we operate. Additionally, the demand for hydrocarbon-based refined products and related crack spreads significantly impact production decisions of our refining customers and likewise throughputs on our pipelines and other logistics assets. Finally, fluctuations in demand and commodity prices for refined products, as well as the value attributable to RINs, directly impacts our wholesale marketing operations, where we are subject to short-term commodity price fluctuations at the rack. Most of the logistics services we provide (including transportation, gathering and processing services) are subject to long-term fee-based contracts with minimum volume commitments or long-term dedicated acreage agreements which mitigate most of our short-term financial risk to price and demand volatility. However, sustained depressed demand/prices over the longer term could not only curb exploration and production expansion opportunities under our agreements, it could also impact our customers' willingness or ability to renew commercial agreements or result in liquidity or credit constraints that could impact our longer term relationship with them.
