BRENTWOOD, Tenn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 6, 2024-- Delek Logistics Partners, LP (NYSE: DKL) ("Delek Logistics") today announced its financial results for the third quarter 2024.

“Delek Logistics continues to provide the best combination of yield and growth in the midstream sector. We are proud of the 47^th consecutive increase in our distribution and we expect to continue to increase our distribution in the future. The completion of our previously announced strategic actions position Delek Logistics as a premier, full-service, midstream provider in the prolific Permian Basin,” said Avigal Soreq, President of Delek Logistics' general partner.

"Our recent equity offering allows us to bring forward additional growth opportunities and strengthen our position in the Delaware basin. We will continue to strengthen and grow DKL through a prudent management of liquidity and leverage," Mr. Soreq continued.

DKL reported third quarter 2024 net income attributable to limited partners of $33.7 million, or $0.71 per diluted common limited partner unit. The third quarter 2024 net income attributable to limited partners included $8.7 million of transaction costs and impacts of sales-type lease accounting. This compares to net income attributable to limited partners of $34.8 million, or $0.80 per diluted common limited partner unit, in the third quarter 2023. Net cash provided in operating activities was $24.9 million in the third quarter 2024 compared to $46.8 million in the third quarter 2023. Distributable cash flow, as adjusted was $62.0 million in the third quarter 2024, compared to $61.4 million in the third quarter 2023.

For the third quarter 2024, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") was $69.2 million compared to $98.2 million in the third quarter 2023. The third quarter 2024 EBITDA included $8.7 million of transaction costs and impacts of sales-type lease accounting.

Distribution and Liquidity

On October 29, 2024, Delek Logistics declared a quarterly cash distribution of $1.100 per common limited partner unit for the third quarter 2024. This distribution will be paid on November 14, 2024 to unitholders of record on November 8, 2024. This represents a 0.9% increase from the second quarter 2024 distribution of $1.090 per common limited partner unit, and a 5.3% increase over Delek Logistics’ third quarter 2023 distribution of $1.045 per common limited partner unit. Distribution cash flow coverage ratio, as adjusted for the quarter was 1.1x, lower than our target of 1.3x, primarily because of transitory timing effects. H2O Midstream closed late in the third quarter and W2W distributions came in post the quarter close in October.

As of September 30, 2024, Delek Logistics had total debt of approximately $1.89 billion and cash of $7.3 million and a leverage ratio of approximately 4.15x. Additional borrowing capacity, under the $1.15 billion third party revolving credit facility was $695.1 million.

Consolidated Operating Results

Adjusted EBITDA in the third quarter 2024 was $106.8 million compared to $98.2 million in the third quarter 2023. The $8.6 million increase in Adjusted EBITDA reflects higher contributions from the Midland Gathering systems, terminalling and marketing rate increases, as well as impacts from the W2W dropdown.

Gathering and Processing Segment

Adjusted EBITDA in the third quarter 2024 was $55.0 million compared with $52.9 million in the third quarter 2023. The increase was primarily due to higher throughput from Permian Basin assets and incremental EBITDA from the H2O Midstream acquisition.

Wholesale Marketing and Terminalling Segment

Adjusted EBITDA in the third quarter 2024 was $24.7 million, compared with third quarter 2023 Adjusted EBITDA of $28.1 million. The decrease was primarily due to a decline in wholesale margins.

Storage and Transportation Segment

Adjusted EBITDA in the third quarter 2024 was $19.4 million, compared with $17.9 million in the third quarter 2023. The increase was primarily due to increased storage and transportation rates.

Investments in Pipeline Joint Venture s Segment

During the third quarter 2024, income from equity method investments was $15.6 million compared to $9.3 million in the third quarter 2023. The increase was primarily due to the impacts of the W2W dropdown.

Corporate

Forward-looking statements should not be read as a guarantee of future performance or results and will not be accurate indications of the times at, or by, which such performance or results will be achieved. Forward-looking information is based on information available at the time and/or management's good faith belief with respect to future events, and is subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual performance or results to differ materially from those expressed in the statements.

Sales-Type Leases

During the third quarter of 2024, Delek Logistics and Delek US renewed and amended certain commercial agreements. These amendments required the embedded leases within these agreements to be reassessed under Accounting Standards Codification 842, Leases. As a result of these amendments, certain of these agreements met the criteria to be accounted for as sales-type leases. Therefore, portions of our payments received for minimum volume commitments under agreements subject to sales-type lease accounting are recorded as interest income with the remaining amounts recorded as a reduction in net investment in leases. Prior to the amendments, these agreements were accounted for as operating leases and these minimum volume commitments were recorded as revenues.

Non-GAAP Disclosures:

Our management uses certain "non-GAAP" operational measures to evaluate our operating segment performance and non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate past performance and prospects for the future to supplement our financial information presented in accordance with United States ("U.S.") Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"). These financial and operational non-GAAP measures are important factors in assessing our operating results and profitability and include:

• Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") - calculated as net income before net interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization expense, including amortization of customer contract intangible assets, which is included as a component of net revenues.
• Adjusted EBITDA - EBITDA adjusted for (i) significant, infrequently occurring transaction costs and (ii) throughput and storage fees associated with the lease component of commercial agreements subject to sales-type lease accounting.
• Distributable cash flow - calculated as net cash flow from operating activities adjusted for changes in assets and liabilities, maintenance capital expenditures net of reimbursements, sales-type lease receipts, net of income recognized and other adjustments not expected to settle in cash.
• Distributable cash flow, as adjusted -calculated as distributable cash flow adjusted to exclude significant, infrequently occurring transaction costs.

Our EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, distributable cash flow and distributable cash flow, as adjusted measures are non-GAAP supplemental financial measures that management and external users of our consolidated financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies, may use to assess:

• Delek Logistics' operating performance as compared to other publicly traded partnerships in the midstream energy industry, without regard to historical cost basis or, in the case of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, financing methods;
• the ability of our assets to generate sufficient cash flow to make distributions to our unitholders on a current and on-going basis;
• Delek Logistics' ability to incur and service debt and fund capital expenditures; and
• the viability of acquisitions and other capital expenditure projects and the returns on investment of various investment opportunities.

We believe that the presentation of these non-GAAP measures provide information useful to investors in assessing our financial condition and results of operations and assists in evaluating our ongoing operating performance and liquidity for current and comparative periods. Non-GAAP measures should not be considered alternatives to net income, operating income, cash flow from operating activities or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Non-GAAP measures have important limitations as analytical tools, because they exclude some, but not all, items that affect net earnings, net cash provided by operating activities and operating income. These measures should not be considered substitutes for their most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures. Additionally, because EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, distributable cash flow and distributable cash flow, as adjusted may be defined differently by other partnerships in our industry, our definitions may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other partnerships, thereby diminishing their utility. See the accompanying tables in this earnings release for a reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures.
