Previous wording
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we made significant strides in our commitment to being a full suite crude, gas and water midstream services provider in the Permian Basin, in addition to diversifying our customer base to include more third-party customers. In January 2025, the Partnership closed the Gravity Acquisition which includes integrated full-cycle water systems in the Midland Basin, in addition to water gathering, and transportation assets in the Bakken, and along with our H2O Midstream Acquisition, provides a strong opportunity for integrated crude and water services to its customers. Subsequent to March 31, 2025, we entered into a series of agreements with Delek Holdings, which among other things, will allow us to assume all of Delek Holdings’ rights and obligations to purchase crude oil under certain contracts associated with our existing Midland Gathering System. These transactions along with the acquisition of H2O and Gravity, significantly enhance our competitive position in the Midland basin and serve to further our economic separation from our sponsor and contribute to an increase third party revenue.

Previous wording
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 we have expanded our dedicated crude acreage in our Midland Gathering system. Additionally, in the Delaware Basin, we are expanding our natural gas processing capabilities by constructing a new natural gas processing plant and adding AGI and sour gas processing capabilities. We are currently in the commissioning phase of the gas plant expansion and anticipate reaching full operational capacity in the latter half of 2025. Our positioning allows our customers the ability to control quality and adds optionality to place barrels in a variety of markets.

Additionally, in the Delaware Basin, we are expanding our natural gas processing capabilities by constructing a new natural gas processing plant and adding AGI and sour gas processing capabilities. Currently, the gas plant is in its initial phase of operation, and we foresee it reaching full capacity by the latter half of 2025. In June 2025, we successfully completed a debt issuance raising $700 million, enhancing our liquidity to over $1.0 billion. Our disciplined approach to cost control, coupled with a focus on margin enhancements, supported earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") growth and improved cash flow, while our capital deployment remained aligned with our strategic priorities. This strengthened financial position empowers us to advance our strategy of organic growth while also exploring attractive opportunities for bolt-on acquisitions. Our positioning allows our customers the ability to control quality and adds optionality to place barrels in a variety of markets.

As a result of these efforts, the Partnership saw a $6.4 million increase in net income during the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the prior year period. Our EBITDA (as defined in "Non GAAP Measures" section below) decreased $16.0 million in 2025 as compared to 2024. 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 $10.2 million increase in segment EBITDA, largely due to the H2O Midstream and Gravity acquisitions. Our wholesale marketing and terminalling segment saw a $12.0 million decrease in segment EBITDA. Our storage and transportation segment saw a $13.7 million decrease in segment EBITDA. Segment EBITDA for our investments in pipeline joint ventures increased by $1.7 million with the acquisition of the investment in Wink to Webster Holdings, LLC (the "W2W Investment") from Delek Holdings. See the “Results of Operations” section below for further discussion.

The operational assets in our gathering and processing segment consist of our pipeline assets, Midland Gathering Assets, Midland Water 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 Midland Water Gathering Assets support our water disposal and recycling operations primarily in the Midland Basin in Texas. 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. 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 mainly 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.

That said, our recent expansion of our gas processing capabilities have improved both our customer and geographic diversification which lowers concentration risk in those areas, in addition to adding service offerings to our portfolio. Furthermore, our dedicated acreage agreements provide significant growth opportunities in strong economic conditions (e.g., high demand/high commodity prices) without incremental customer acquisition cost. Given all of these factors, we believe that we continue to be strategically positioned, even in tougher market conditions, to sustain positive operating results and cash flows and to continue developing profitable growth projects that are needed to support future distribution growth.
