  1. Description of Business and Basis of Presentation

Description of Business

Westlake Chemical Partners LP (the "Partnership") is a Delaware limited partnership formed in March 2014 to operate, acquire and develop ethylene production facilities and related assets. On August 4, 2014, the Partnership completed its initial public offering (the "IPO") of 12,937,500 common units representing limited partner interests.

The Partnership owns a 22.8% limited partner interest in Westlake Chemical OpCo LP ("OpCo") and a 100% interest in Westlake Chemical OpCo GP LLC ("OpCo GP"), which is the general partner of OpCo. OpCo owns three ethylene production facilities andone common carrier ethylene pipeline. The remaining 77.2% limited partner interest in OpCo is owned by Westlake Corporation. References to "Westlake" refer collectively to Westlake Corporation and its subsidiaries, other than the Partnership, OpCo and OpCo GP.

OpCo and Westlake entered into an ethylene sales agreement (the "Ethylene Sales Agreement") pursuant to which the Partnership generates a substantial majority of its revenue. For more information, see Note 8.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated interim financial statements were prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") for interim periods. Accordingly, certain information and footnotes required for complete financial statements under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("U.S. GAAP") have not been included. These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto of the Partnership included in the annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 (the "2025 Form 10-K"), filed with the SEC on March 4, 2026. These financial statements have been prepared in conformity with the accounting principles and practices as disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements of the Partnership for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.

The Partnership holds a 22.8% limited partner interest and the entire non-economic general partner interest in OpCo. The remaining 77.2% limited partner interest in OpCo is owned directly by Westlake, which has no rights to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of OpCo. As a result of the fact that substantially all of OpCo's activities are conducted on behalf of Westlake, and the fact that OpCo exhibits disproportionality of voting rights to economic interest, OpCo was deemed to be a variable interest entity. The Partnership, through its ownership of OpCo's general partner, has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of OpCo, and it also has the obligation or right to absorb losses or receive benefits from OpCo that could potentially be significant to OpCo. As such, the Partnership was determined to be OpCo's primary beneficiary and therefore consolidates OpCo's results of operations and financial position. The Partnership's operations consist exclusively of the variable interest entity's operations and, as such, no additional variable interest entity disclosures are considered necessary. Westlake's retained interest of 77.2% is recorded as noncontrolling interest in the Partnership's consolidated financial statements.

In the opinion of the Partnership's management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated interim financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) that are necessary for a fair statement of the Partnership's financial position as of September 30, 2026, its results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025 and the changes in its cash position for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025.

Results of operations and changes in cash position for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that will be realized for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026 or any other interim period. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Revision of Related Party Disclosure

During the third quarter of 2026, the Partnership identified errors with respect to certain charges from Westlake that had been omitted from its previously reported related party cost of sales disclosures. The omission had no impact on the Partnership's previously reported consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations, statements of changes in equity or statements of cash flows. The Partnership concluded that the omission was not material to any previously issued financial statements. Refer to Note 8 for the amounts by period and the periods revised.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncement

Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (ASU No. 2024-03)

In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued an accounting standards update requiring public entities to disclose, on an annual and interim basis, detailed information about the types of expenses in relevant expense captions presented on the face of the income statement, including amounts for inventory purchases, employee compensation, depreciation and amortization of intangible assets and a qualitative description for remaining amounts not separately disaggregated. Additionally, the update requires disclosure of total selling expenses, and in annual periods, an entity's definition of selling expenses. The amendments in this update are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027 and are to be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The Partnership is currently evaluating the impact of the update on the disclosures in the Partnership's consolidated financial statements.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncement

Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets (ASU No. 2025-05)

In July 2025, the FASB issued an accounting standards update to add a practical expedient in developing reasonable and supportable forecasts as part of estimating expected credit losses. All entities may elect a practical expedient that assumes the current conditions as of the balance sheet date do not change for the remaining life of the asset. The amendments in this update are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025 and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted. Entities should apply the new guidance prospectively. The Partnership adopted the standard electing a practical expedient effective January 1, 2026, and the adoption of this accounting standard did not have a material impact on its consolidated statements of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows, or on related financial statement disclosures.

  1. Distributions and Net Income Per Limited Partner Unit

On November 2, 2026, the board of directors of Westlake Chemical Partners GP LLC ("Westlake GP"), the Partnership's general partner, declared a quarterly cash distribution for the three months ended September 30, 2026 of $0.4714 per common unit. This distribution is payable on December 1, 2026 to unitholders of record as of November 13, 2026.

Distributions are declared subsequent to quarter end; therefore, the table below represents total cash distributions declared from earnings of the related periods pertaining to such distributions.

Distribution in excess of net income$(399)$(1,962)$(5,222)$(15,679)

Net income per unit applicable to common limited partner units is computed by dividing the respective limited partners' interest in net income by the weighted-average number of common units outstanding for the period. Because the Partnership has more than one class of participating securities, it uses the two-class method when calculating the net income per unit applicable to limited partners. The classes of participating securities include common units and incentive distribution rights. Net income attributable to the Partnership is allocated to the unitholders in accordance with their respective ownership percentages in preparation of the consolidated statements of changes in equity. However, in the event distributions related to the incentive distribution rights are made, net income equal to the amount of those distributions would first be allocated to the general partner before the remaining net income would be allocated to the unitholders based on their respective ownership percentages. Basic and diluted net income per unit is the same because the Partnership does not have any potentially dilutive units outstanding for the periods presented.

The amended Partnership Agreement provides that the Partnership will distribute cash that is deemed to be an appropriate portion of the Partnership's total operating surplus. Incentive distribution rights represent the right to receive increasing percentages (15.0 %,25.0 % and 50.0 %) of quarterly distributions from operating surplus after the target distribution levels have been achieved. If cash distributions to the Partnership's unitholders exceed $1.2938 per common unit in any quarter, the Partnership's unitholders and Westlake, as the holder of the Partnership's incentive distribution rights, will receive distributions according to the following percentage allocations:

Marginal Percentage Interest in Distributions
UnitholdersIDR Holders
Above $1.2938 up to $1.406385.0 %15.0 %
Above $1.4063 up to $1.687575.0 %25.0 %
Above $1.687550.0 %50.0 %

If cash distributions to the Partnership's unitholders do not exceed $1.2938 per common unit in a quarter, then no distribution is made with respect to the Partnership's incentive distribution rights for such quarter. The Partnership's distribution for the three months ended September 30, 2026 was $0.4714 per common unit, which did not exceed the $1.2938 per unit threshold, and, as a result, no distribution was made with respect to the Partnership's incentive distribution rights to Westlake, as the holder of the Partnership's incentive distribution rights.

Distributions Per Common Unit

Distributions per common unit for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025 were as follows:

  1. Partners' Equity

On October 4, 2018, the Partnership and Westlake Chemical Partners GP LLC, the general partner of the Partnership, entered into an Equity Distribution Agreement with UBS Securities LLC, Barclays Capital Inc., Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., RBC Capital Markets, LLC, Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC to offer and sell the Partnership's common units, from time to time, up to an aggregate offering amount of $50,000. The Equity Distribution Agreement was amended on February 28, 2020 to reference a new shelf registration and subsequent renewals thereof for utilization under this agreement. To date, no common units have been issued under this program.

On March 29, 2019, the Partnership completed the issuance and sale of 2,940,818 common units at a price of $21.40 per unit through a private placement. TTWF LP, Westlake's principal stockholder and a related party, acquired 1,401,869 common units out of 2,940,818 common units issued in the private placement.

  1. Related Party Transactions

Related party transactions between the Partnership, OpCo and Westlake are primarily based on agreements such as the Ethylene Sales Agreement, the Feedstock Supply Agreement, the Services and Secondment Agreement, the Site Lease Agreements, the Omnibus Agreement, the Investment Management Agreement, the Exchange Agreement, the OpCo Partnership Agreement, the OpCo Revolver and the MLP Revolver. These agreements, discussed in detail in the Partnership's 2025 consolidated financial statements included in the 2025 Form 10-K filed on March 4, 2026, reflect the pervasive effect of the relationship with Westlake on the Partnership's operations and its consolidated financial statements. Pursuant to these agreements, the Partnership and OpCo regularly enter into transactions with Westlake. See below for descriptions and details of these related party transactions.

Sales to Related Parties

OpCo sells ethylene to Westlake under the Ethylene Sales Agreement. Additionally, the Partnership and OpCo from time to time provide other services or products for which they charge Westlake a fee.

OpCo sells a significant portion of its ethylene production to Westlake. Sales to related parties were as follows:

Three Months Ended September 30,Nine Months Ended September 30,
2026202520262025
Net sales—Westlake$261,935$276,539$763,056$736,396

As of September 30, 2026, OpCo's production resulted in expected "excess quantities" of ethylene produced based on annual estimated production. Pursuant to the terms of the Ethylene Sales Agreement, the excess quantities produced by the Partnership were sold to Westlake at prices that excluded certain fixed costs of production. The fixed cost of production associated with the estimated excess quantities for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 was approximately $4,900.

Cost of Sales from Related Parties

Charges for goods and services purchased by the Partnership and OpCo from Westlake and included in cost of sales relate primarily to feedstock purchased under the Feedstock Supply Agreement and services provided under the Services and Secondment Agreement.

A significant portion of the Partnership's inputs included in cost of sales are supplied by Westlake. Charges from related parties included in cost of sales were as follows:

See Revision of Previously Reported Amounts below.

Revision of Previously Reported Amounts

  1. Fair Value Measurements

The Partnership reports certain assets and liabilities at fair value, which is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). Under the accounting guidance for fair value measurements, inputs used to measure fair value are classified in one of three levels:

Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.

The Partnership has financial assets and liabilities subject to fair value measures. These financial assets and liabilities include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, net, accounts payable and long-term debt payable to Westlake, all of which are recorded at carrying value. The amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, net and accounts payable approximate their fair value due to the short maturities of these instruments. The carrying and fair values of the Partnership's long-term debt at September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 are summarized in the table below. The fair value of long-term debt is determined based on the present value of expected future cash flows using a discounted cash flow methodology. Because the Partnership's valuation methodology used for long-term debt requires the use of significant unobservable inputs, the inputs used to measure the fair value of the Partnership's long-term debt are classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy. Inputs used to estimate the fair values of the Partnership's long-term debt include the selection of an appropriate discount rate.

  1. Commitments and Contingencies

The Partnership is subject to environmental laws and regulations that can impose civil and criminal sanctions and that may require the Partnership to mitigate the effects of contamination caused by the release or disposal of hazardous substances into the environment. These laws include the federal Clean Air Act, the federal Water Pollution Control Act, the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act ("CERCLA"), the Toxic Substances Control Act and various other federal, state and local laws and regulations. Under CERCLA, an owner or operator of property may be held strictly liable for remediating contamination without regard to whether that person caused the contamination, and without regard to whether the practices that resulted in the contamination were legal at the time they occurred. Because the Partnership's production sites have a history of industrial use, it is impossible to predict precisely what effect these legal requirements will have on the Partnership. Pursuant to the Omnibus Agreement, certain subsidiaries of Westlake will indemnify the Partnership for certain environmental and other liabilities that occurred or existed prior to August 4, 2014. Pursuant to the Services and Secondment Agreement, certain subsidiaries of Westlake will indemnify the Partnership for certain liabilities incurred in connection with the performance of Westlake's services under such agreement.

The Partnership is also involved in other legal proceedings incidental to the conduct of its business. After considering all relevant facts and circumstances, including applicable insurance and indemnification by Westlake, the Partnership does not believe that any of these legal proceedings will have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
