Operational Highlights
-
During the second quarter of 2023, Energy Transfer’s assets continued to reach new milestones, with volumes increasing across most segments compared to the same period last year.
- NGL fractionation volumes were up 5%, setting a new Partnership record.
- NGL transportation volumes were up 13%, setting a new Partnership record.
- Midstream gathered volumes increased 8%, setting a new Partnership record.
- Intrastate natural gas transportation volumes were up 3%, setting a new Partnership record.
- Interstate natural gas transportation volumes were up 17%.
- Crude transportation and terminal volumes were up 23% and 15%, respectively.
- Total NGL exports out of both the Nederland and Marcus Hook Terminals reached another record in the second quarter.
- In June 2023, the 200 MMcf/d Bear cryogenic processing plant, which is located in the Delaware Basin, was placed into service.
Strategic Highlights
- In May 2023, the Partnership completed the acquisition of Lotus Midstream Operations, LLC, and integration of operations is ongoing.
- In July 2023, Lake Charles LNG entered into three non-binding Heads of Agreements (“HOAs”) related to long-term LNG offtake for an aggregate of 3.6 million tonnes per annum.
Financial Highlights
- Energy Transfer expects its full-year 2023 Adjusted EBITDA to range between $13.1 billion and $13.4 billion, which is slightly tighter than the previous range ($13.05 billion to $13.45 billion) while keeping the midpoint the same.
- In July 2023, Energy Transfer announced a quarterly cash distribution of $0.31 per common unit ($1.24 annualized) for the quarter ended June 30, 2023.
- As of June 30, 2023, the Partnership’s revolving credit facility had an aggregate $2.36 billion of available borrowing capacity.
- For the three months ended June 30, 2023, the Partnership invested approximately $387 million on growth capital expenditures.
Energy Transfer benefits from a portfolio of assets with exceptional product and geographic diversity. The Partnership’s multiple segments generate high-quality, balanced earnings with no single segment contributing more than 30% of the Partnership’s consolidated Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The vast majority of the Partnership’s segment margins are fee-based and therefore have limited commodity price sensitivity.

(a) |
Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow are non-GAAP financial measures used by industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies to assess the financial performance and the operating results of Energy Transfer’s fundamental business activities and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income, income from operations, cash flows from operating activities or other GAAP measures. |
|
|
There are material limitations to using measures such as Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow, including the difficulty associated with using any such measure as the sole measure to compare the results of one company to another, and the inability to analyze certain significant items that directly affect a company’s net income or loss or cash flows. In addition, our calculations of Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow may not be consistent with similarly titled measures of other companies and should be viewed in conjunction with measurements that are computed in accordance with GAAP, such as operating income, net income and cash flow from operating activities. |
|
|
Definition of Adjusted EBITDA |
|
|
We define Adjusted EBITDA as total partnership earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, depletion, amortization and other non-cash items, such as non-cash compensation expense, gains and losses on disposals of assets, the allowance for equity funds used during construction, unrealized gains and losses on commodity risk management activities, inventory valuation adjustments, non-cash impairment charges, losses on extinguishments of debt, and other non-operating income or expense items. Inventory adjustments that are excluded from the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA represent only the changes in lower of cost or market reserves on inventory that is carried at last-in, first-out (“LIFO”). These amounts are unrealized valuation adjustments applied to Sunoco LP’s fuel volumes remaining in inventory at the end of the period. |
|
|
Adjusted EBITDA reflects amounts for unconsolidated affiliates based on the same recognition and measurement methods used to record equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates. Adjusted EBITDA related to unconsolidated affiliates excludes the same items with respect to the unconsolidated affiliate as those excluded from the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA, such as interest, taxes, depreciation, depletion, amortization and other non-cash items. Although these amounts are excluded from Adjusted EBITDA related to unconsolidated affiliates, such exclusion should not be understood to imply that we have control over the operations and resulting revenues and expenses of such affiliates. We do not control our unconsolidated affiliates; therefore, we do not control the earnings or cash flows of such affiliates. The use of Adjusted EBITDA or Adjusted EBITDA related to unconsolidated affiliates as an analytical tool should be limited accordingly. |
|
|
Adjusted EBITDA is used by management to determine our operating performance and, along with other financial and volumetric data, as internal measures for setting annual operating budgets, assessing financial performance of our numerous business locations, as a measure for evaluating targeted businesses for acquisition, and as a measurement component of incentive compensation. |
|
|
Definition of Distributable Cash Flow |
|
|
We define Distributable Cash Flow as net income, adjusted for certain non-cash items, less distributions to preferred unitholders and maintenance capital expenditures. Non-cash items include depreciation, depletion and amortization, non-cash compensation expense, amortization included in interest expense, gains and losses on disposals of assets, the allowance for equity funds used during construction, unrealized gains and losses on commodity risk management activities, inventory valuation adjustments, non-cash impairment charges, losses on extinguishments of debt, and deferred income taxes. For unconsolidated affiliates, Distributable Cash Flow reflects the Partnership’s proportionate share of the investee’s distributable cash flow. |
|
|
Distributable Cash Flow is used by management to evaluate our overall performance. Our partnership agreement requires us to distribute all available cash, and Distributable Cash Flow is calculated to evaluate our ability to fund distributions through cash generated by our operations. |
|
|
On a consolidated basis, Distributable Cash Flow includes 100% of the Distributable Cash Flow of Energy Transfer’s consolidated subsidiaries. However, to the extent that noncontrolling interests exist among our subsidiaries, the Distributable Cash Flow generated by our subsidiaries may not be available to be distributed to our partners. In order to reflect the cash flows available for distributions to our partners, we have reported Distributable Cash Flow attributable to partners, which is calculated by adjusting Distributable Cash Flow (consolidated), as follows: |
|
|
|
|
|
For Distributable Cash Flow attributable to partners, as adjusted, certain transaction-related adjustments and non-recurring expenses that are included in net income are excluded. |
|
(b) |
For the three months ended June 30, 2022, the amount reflected for transaction-related income taxes was related to an amended return from a previous transaction. |

The following analysis of segment operating results includes a measure of segment margin. Segment margin is a non-GAAP financial measure and is presented herein to assist in the analysis of segment operating results and particularly to facilitate an understanding of the impacts that changes in sales revenues have on the segment performance measure of Segment Adjusted EBITDA. Segment margin is similar to the GAAP measure of gross margin, except that segment margin excludes charges for depreciation, depletion and amortization. Among the GAAP measures reported by the Partnership, the most directly comparable measure to segment margin is Segment Adjusted EBITDA; a reconciliation of segment margin to Segment Adjusted EBITDA is included in the following tables for each segment where segment margin is presented.
In addition, for certain segments, the following sections include information on the components of segment margin by sales type, which components are included in order to provide additional disaggregated information to facilitate the analysis of segment margin and Segment Adjusted EBITDA. For example, these components include transportation margin, storage margin and other margin. These components of segment margin are calculated consistent with the calculation of segment margin; therefore, these components also exclude charges for depreciation, depletion and amortization.

Transported volumes increased primarily due to our Gulf Run system being placed in service in December 2022, as well as more capacity sold and higher utilization on our Transwestern, Tiger, Panhandle and Trunkline systems due to increased demand.
Segment Adjusted EBITDA. For the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the same period last year, Segment Adjusted EBITDA related to our interstate transportation and storage segment increased due to the net impacts of the following:
- an increase of $21 million in segment margin primarily due to a $24 million increase resulting from our Gulf Run system being placed in service in December 2022 and a $9 million increase in transportation revenue from several of our interstate pipeline systems due to higher contracted volumes and higher rates. These increases were partially offset by a $14 million decrease in operational gas sales resulting from lower prices;
- a decrease of $4 million in selling, general and administrative expenses primarily due to a decrease in mergers and acquisitions expense; and
- an increase of $25 million in Adjusted EBITDA related to unconsolidated affiliates primarily due to an increase from our Midcontinent Express Pipeline joint venture due to capacity sold at higher rates; partially offset by
- an increase of $3 million in operating expenses primarily due to $9 million in incremental expenses from our Gulf Run system being placed in service in December 2022, partially offset by a $4 million decrease in electricity expenses.

Gathered volumes and NGL production increased primarily due to increases across most regions, including from the Woodford Express acquisition.
Segment Adjusted EBITDA. For the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the same period last year, Segment Adjusted EBITDA related to our midstream segment decreased due to the net impacts of the following:
- a decrease of $323 million in non-fee-based margin due to unfavorable natural gas prices of $187 million and NGL prices of $136 million;
- an increase of $49 million in operating expenses primarily due to a $17 million increase in maintenance, repairs and projects, including trucking and compression needs coupled with pricing increases, an $11 million increase related to environmental reserves, an $8 million increase in employee costs, a $5 million increase from the Woodford Express acquisition and our new plants coming online, and a $3 million increase in ad valorem taxes; and
- an increase of $11 million in selling, general and administrative expenses primarily due to higher insurance expenses attributable to refunds and credits in 2022; partially offset by
- an increase of $45 million in fee-based margin due to increases across most regions including from the Woodford Express acquisition; and

NGL transportation and terminal volumes increased primarily due to higher volumes from the Permian region, on our Mariner East pipeline system and on our export pipelines into our Nederland Terminal.
The increase in transportation volumes also led to higher fractionated volumes at our Mont Belvieu, Texas fractionation facility.
Segment Adjusted EBITDA. For the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the same period last year, Segment Adjusted EBITDA related to our NGL and refined products transportation and services segment increased due to the net impacts of the following:
- an increase of $57 million in transportation margin primarily due to a $28 million increase resulting from higher throughput on our Mariner East pipelines, a $23 million increase resulting from higher y-grade throughput and higher rates on our Texas pipeline system, a $7 million increase from higher throughput on our Mariner West pipeline, a $7 million increase from higher exported volumes feeding into our Nederland Terminal and a $5 million increase from higher throughput on our refined product pipelines. These increases were partially offset by intrasegment charges of $7 million and $6 million which are fully offset within our marketing margin and fractionators margin, respectively;
- an increase of $38 million in terminal services margin primarily due to a $30 million increase from our Marcus Hook Terminal due to higher rates and higher throughput and an $8 million increase from higher export volumes loaded at our Nederland Terminal;
- a decrease of $30 million in operating expenses primarily due to a $41 million decrease in gas and power utility cost. This decrease was partially offset by a $5 million increase due to higher headcount, a $3 million increase in outside service expenses related to higher volumes and inflation, and a $3 million increase in ad valorem taxes;
- an increase of $8 million in storage margin primarily due to fees generated from exported volumes; and
- an increase of $7 million in Adjusted EBITDA related to unconsolidated affiliates primarily due to higher volumes on the Explorer and White Cliffs pipelines; partially offset by
- a decrease of $30 million in marketing margin primarily due to lower gains of $37 million from the optimization of NGL and refined product inventories including a $51 million write-down to hedged inventory during the second quarter of 2023, which we expect will be fully offset with hedge gains in future periods. This decrease was partially offset by intrasegment charges of $7 million which are fully offset within our transportation margin;
- a decrease of $29 million in fractionators and refinery services margin, despite higher volumes, primarily due to a $26 million decrease resulting from lower rates tied to lower gas prices in the current period and a $7 million decrease from a less favorable pricing environment impacting our refinery services business. These decreases were partially offset by a $6 million intrasegment charge which is fully offset in our transportation margin; and
- an increase of $7 million in selling, general and administrative expenses primarily due to a $3 million increase in overhead expenses and a $2 million increase in insurance costs.

Crude transportation volumes were higher on our Texas pipeline system due to higher Permian crude oil production and contributions from assets acquired in 2023. Volumes were also higher on our Bakken Pipeline and our Bayou Bridge Pipeline. Crude terminal volumes were higher due to growth in Permian volumes, stronger Gulf Coast refinery utilization and contributions from assets acquired in 2023.
Segment Adjusted EBITDA. For the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the same period last year, Segment Adjusted EBITDA related to our crude oil transportation and services segment increased primarily due to the net impacts of the following:
- an increase of $129 million in segment margin (excluding unrealized gains and losses on commodity risk management activities) primarily due to a $69 million increase from higher volumes on our Bakken Pipeline, a $51 million increase from recently acquired assets, a $30 million increase from higher gathered volumes and new assets placed into service on our Texas crude pipeline system, a $17 million increase in throughput at our Gulf Coast and Permian terminals and a $3 million increase on our Bayou Bridge Pipeline due to higher volumes, partially offset by a $40 million decrease from our crude oil acquisition and marketing business due primarily to lower margins on refined product sales; partially offset by
- an increase of $18 million in operating expenses primarily due to a $15 million increase from recently acquired assets and a $7 million increase in ad valorem taxes, partially offset by a $5 million decrease in maintenance project costs.
