Pending Sale of Canadian NGL Business
Current report
On June 17, 2025, we entered into a definitive SPA with Keyera, pursuant to which Keyera agreed to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Plains Midstream Canada ULC, our wholly-owned subsidiary that owns substantially all of the Canadian NGL Business. This transaction supports our strategic objective to focus on our core midstream crude oil operations and to reduce exposure to commodity price fluctuations and seasonality. While we will divest the Canadian NGL Business as part of the sale, we will retain substantially all NGL assets in the United States and will also retain all crude oil assets in Canada. This transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of 2026, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of customary closing conditions, including receipt of regulatory approvals. We determined that in conjunction with entering into the SPA, the operations of the Canadian NGL Business meet the criteria for classification as held for sale and presentation as discontinued operations, as the sale will represent a strategic shift that will have a major effect on our operations and financial results. We have applied these changes retrospectively to all periods presented. See Note 1 and Note 2 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
Current report
Unless otherwise indicated, the discussion below relates to our continuing operations and excludes amounts related to discontinued operations.
Current report
We recognized net income of $775 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to net income of $653 million for the first six months of 2024. See the “Results of Operations” section below for discussion of significant drivers of our results from continuing operations.

Current report
Continuing Operations
Current report
The following discussion of our results of operations focuses on PAA’s continuing operations.
Current report
Product sales revenues (including the impact of derivative mark-to-market valuations) and purchases decreased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same periods in 2024 primarily due to lower commodity prices in the 2025 periods, partially offset by higher crude oil sales volumes in the 2025 periods.
Current report
Services revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 increased compared to the same periods in 2024 primarily due to higher pipeline volumes and tariff escalations, as well as the impact of recently completed acquisitions.
Current report
Depreciation and Amortization
Current report
The increase in depreciation and amortization for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same periods in 2024 was largely driven by acquisitions.

Current report
In connection with the pending sale of the Canadian NGL Business, we entered into a deal-contingent forward currency instrument to hedge the currency exchange risk associated with the sale in CAD. The 2025 periods were impacted by the mark-to-market of this instrument. See Note 8 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding this instrument and our derivatives and hedging activities. See Note 1 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding the pending sale of the Canadian NGL Business.

Current report
Discontinued Operations. Management believes that the presentation of certain Non-GAAP financial measures, such as Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA attributable to PAA ,on a consolidated basis (e.g., the aggregate of continuing operations and discontinued operations) provides more relevant and useful information regarding our performance and results of operations than presenting such metrics only on a continuing operations or discontinued operations basis. In addition, as the potential sale of the Canadian NGL Business is not anticipated to close until the first quarter of 2026, management continues to view the Canadian NGL Business as a component of our overall company performance and ability to fund distributions to our unitholders in the near term.
Current report
(1)Includes results from continuing operations and discontinued operations.

(2)See Note 2 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
Current report
Our NGL segment operations involve NGL storage and terminalling from our four NGL assets located in the United States, namely our Bumstead, Shafter, San Pedro and Tampa facilities. Our NGL segment revenues are primarily derived from (i) providing storage and/or terminalling services at these facilities to third-party customers for a fee and (ii) the transport, storage and sale of specification NGL products. The segment results also include the direct fixed and variable field costs of operating our four NGL facilities, as well as an allocation of indirect operating costs and general and administrative expenses.
Current report
(2)Field operating costs and segment general and administrative expenses include certain costs that are part of the overhead of continuing operations.
Current report
The Segment Adjusted EBITDA loss for all periods presented is largely driven by costs that are part of the overhead of our NGL activities and are included in continuing operations as they are not related to contracts or arrangements that will be included in the sale of the Canadian NGL Business. These costs include information technology, insurance and other shared services costs.
Current report
The decrease in NGL Segment Adjusted EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 primarily resulted from lower net revenues as a result of weaker butane basis in the 2025 period.
Current report
(1)Capital expenditures related to discontinued operations are included in the amounts in the table above and were $68 million and $28 million for investment and maintenance capital for the six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively. Capital expenditures for investment and maintenance capital related to discontinued operations were $37 million and $28 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively. There was no acquisition capital related to discontinued operations for any period presented.
Current report
During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we had net repayments under PAA commercial paper program of $433 million. The net repayments resulted primarily from cash flow from operating activities and proceeds from the issuance of PAA’s $650 million, 5.70% senior notes in June 2024, which offset borrowings during the period related to funding needs for capital investments, inventory purchases and other general partnership purposes.

Previous report
We recognized net income of $492 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to net income of $336 million for the first three months of 2024. The increase in net income attributable to PAA was largely driven by fluctuations of derivative mark-to-market valuations, as well as higher Segment Adjusted EBITDA in the 2025 period due to more favorable results from our Crude Oil and NGL segments. See the “Results of Operations” section below for further discussion.
Previous report
Product sales revenues (including the impact of derivative mark-to-market valuations), services revenues and purchases for the three months ended March 31, 2025 were all relatively in line with the same metrics for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Previous report
Our NGL segment operations involve natural gas processing and NGL fractionation, storage, transportation and terminalling. Our NGL revenues are primarily derived from a combination of (i) providing gathering, fractionation, storage, and/or terminalling services to third-party customers for a fee, and (ii) our merchant activities of extracting NGL mix from the gas stream processed at our Empress straddle plant facility as well as acquiring NGL mix, which is then transported, stored and fractionated into finished products and sold to customers. The commodity exposure associated with our merchant activities is governed by our risk management policies.
Previous report
Generally, our segment results are impacted by (i) increases or decreases in our NGL sales volumes, (ii) volatility in commodity price differentials, primarily the differential between the price of natural gas and the extracted NGL (“frac spread”), as well as location differentials and time spreads, (iii) the quality and volume of natural gas transported on third-party assets through our Empress straddle plant and (iv) our share of the NGL received from a third-party straddle plant.
Previous report
Our NGL operations are sensitive to weather-related demand, particularly during the approximate five-month peak heating season of November through March, and temperature differences from period-to-period may have a significant effect on NGL demand, and thus our financial performance, as well as the impact of comparative performance between financial reporting periods that bisect the five-month peak heating season.
Previous report
NGL Segment Adjusted EBITDA increased for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 primarily as a result of the impact of (i) higher NGL sales volumes, (ii) higher realized frac spreads, and (iii) lower field operating costs.
Previous report
Significant variances in the components of Segment Adjusted EBITDA are discussed in more detail below.
Previous report
Net Revenues. Net revenues include the impact of derivative activities and long-term inventory costing adjustments, which are excluded from Segment Adjusted EBITDA, and thus are reflected as a component of “Other segment items” in the table above. Excluding such impacts, net revenues increased for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. The increase in net revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 was primarily due to (i) higher NGL sales volumes and (ii) higher realized frac spreads.
Previous report
Field Operating Costs. The decrease in field operating costs for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 was primarily due to (i) a decrease in unrealized mark-to-market losses on power hedges (which impact our field operating costs, but are excluded from Segment Adjusted EBITDA, and thus are reflected as a component of “Other segment items” in the table above) and (ii) decreased utilities-related costs largely as a result of lower power prices.

Previous wording
PAA’s business model integrates large-scale supply aggregation capabilities with the ownership and operation of critical midstream infrastructure systems that connect major producing regions to key demand centers and export terminals. As one of the largest crude oil midstream service providers in North America, PAA owns an extensive network of pipeline transportation, terminalling, storage and gathering assets in key crude oil and NGL producing basins (including the Permian Basin) and transportation corridors and at major market hubs in the United States and Canada. PAA’s assets and the services it provides are primarily focused on crude oil and NGL.

Fluctuations in our consolidated revenues and purchases and related costs are primarily associated with our merchant activities and are generally explained by changes in commodity prices and the impact of gains and losses related to derivative instruments used to manage our commodity price exposure. Because both product sales revenues and purchases and related costs are generally based off of the same pricing indices, the market price of the commodities will not necessarily have an impact on the absolute margins related to those sales and purchases.

Management believes that the presentation of such additional financial measures provides useful information to investors regarding our performance and results of operations because these measures, when used to supplement related GAAP financial measures, (i) provide additional information about our core operating performance, (ii) provide investors with the same financial analytical framework upon which management bases financial, operational, compensation and planning/budgeting decisions and (iii) present measures that investors, rating agencies and debt holders have indicated are useful in assessing us and our results of operations. These non-GAAP measures may exclude, for example, (i) charges for obligations that are expected to be settled with the issuance of equity instruments, (ii) gains and losses on derivative instruments that are related to underlying activities in another period (or the reversal of such adjustments from a prior period), gains and losses on derivatives that are either related to investing activities (such as the purchase of linefill) or purchases of long-term inventory, and inventory valuation adjustments, as applicable, (iii) long-term inventory costing adjustments, (iv) items that are not indicative of our core operating results and/or (v) other items that we believe should be excluded in understanding our core operating performance. These measures may further be adjusted to include amounts related to deficiencies associated with minimum volume commitments whereby we have billed the counterparties for their deficiency obligation and such amounts are recognized as deferred revenue in “Other current liabilities” in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. We also adjust for amounts billed by our equity method investees related to deficiencies under minimum volume commitments. Such amounts are presented net of applicable amounts subsequently recognized into revenue. We have defined all such items as “selected items impacting comparability.” We do not necessarily consider all of our selected items impacting comparability to be non-recurring, infrequent or unusual, but we believe that an understanding of these selected items impacting comparability is material to the evaluation of our operating results and prospects.

Our Crude Oil segment generates revenue through a combination of tariffs, pipeline capacity agreements and other transportation fees, month-to-month and multi-year storage and terminalling agreements and the sale of gathered and bulk-purchased crude oil. Tariffs and other fees on our pipeline systems are typically based on volumes transported and vary by receipt point and delivery point. Fees for our terminalling and storage services are based on capacity leases and throughput volumes. Generally, results from our merchant activities are impacted by (i) increases or decreases in our lease gathering crude oil purchases volumes and (ii) volatility in commodity price differentials, particularly grade and location differentials, as well as time spreads. The segment results also include the direct fixed and variable field costs of operating the crude oil assets, as well as an allocation of indirect operating costs.
