Previous report
During the first nine months of 2024, we recognized net income of $953 million compared to $1.044 billion during the first nine months of 2023. Results from our operations increased for the first nine months of 2024 over the comparable 2023 period due to more favorable results from our Crude Oil segment, partially offset by less favorable results from our NGL segment. Net income for the 2023 period includes favorable impacts from gains on asset sales and the mark-to-market adjustment of the Preferred Distribution Rate Reset Option, contributing to the relative decrease in net income in 2024. In addition, the 2024 results were impacted by an increase in costs associated with settlements related to the Line 901 incident that occurred in May 2015 and higher income tax expense.
Previous report

Previous report
The increase in maintenance capital spending for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same periods in 2023 was primarily due to higher costs resulting from increased pipeline integrity activities and trucking lease buyouts. Additionally, the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same 2023 period was further impacted by timing of tank integrity activities.
Previous report
NGL Segment Adjusted EBITDA decreased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same periods in 2023 primarily as a result of the impact of lower realized frac spreads, partially offset by higher propane and butane sales volumes. The nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023 further benefited from incremental margins from iso-to-normal butane spreads in the first half of 2024.
Previous report
The decrease in net revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same periods in 2023 was primarily due to (i) lower realized frac spreads and (ii) lower field operating cost recoveries at our Empress straddle plants realized through our commercial agreements, partially offset by (iii) higher propane and butane sales volumes.

Previous wording
Crude Oil Segment Adjusted EBITDA increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same periods in 2023 primarily due to higher tariff volumes on our pipelines, tariff escalations and contributions from acquisitions, partially offset by fewer market-based opportunities.
Current wording
Crude Oil Segment Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was in line with comparable results for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The benefit to the 2025 period from higher tariff volumes on our pipelines, tariff escalations and contributions from recently completed acquisitions was largely offset by higher operating expenses.

Previous wording
Field Operating Costs. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same periods in 2023, we recognized higher expenses associated with (i) an increase in costs associated with settlements related to the Line 901 incident that occurred in May 2015 (which impact field operating costs, but are excluded from Segment Adjusted EBITDA, and thus are reflected as an “Adjustment” in the table above), (ii) employee-related costs primarily resulting from higher average headcount and salaries, (iii) property taxes due to the impact of favorable adjustments in 2023 and (iv) incremental operating costs associated with acquisitions, partially offset by (v) decreased costs resulting from lower third-party trucked volumes. Field operating costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023 were also favorably impacted by lower utilities-related costs as a result of lower prices, partially offset by higher volumes and an increase in the amount of drag reducing agents used.
Current wording
Field Operating Costs. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024, we recognized higher expenses associated with (i) environmental remediation expenses, (ii) employee-related costs primarily resulting from higher average salaries, bonuses and medical benefits, (iii) incremental operating costs associated with acquisitions and (iv) higher utilities-related costs as a result of higher volumes.
