Energy Transfer LP (NYSE:ET) (“Energy Transfer” or the
“Partnership”) today reported financial results for the quarter
ended September 30, 2024.
Energy Transfer reported net income attributable to partners for
the three months ended September 30, 2024 of $1.18 billion. For the
three months ended September 30, 2024, net income per common unit
(basic) was $0.33.
Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended September 30, 2024
was $3.96 billion compared to $3.54 billion for the three months
ended September 30, 2023.
Distributable Cash Flow attributable to partners, as adjusted,
for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was $1.99 billion, an
increase of $4 million from the three months ended September 30,
2023.
Growth capital expenditures in the third quarter of 2024 were
$724 million, while maintenance capital expenditures were $359
million.
Operational Highlights
- With the addition of new organic growth projects and
acquisitions, volumes on Energy Transfer’s assets continued to
increase during the third quarter of 2024.
- Crude oil transportation volumes were up 25%, setting a new
Partnership record.
- Crude oil exports were up 49%.
- Midstream gathered volumes and produced volumes were up 6% and
26%, respectively, setting new Partnership records.
- NGL fractionation volumes were up 12%, setting a new
Partnership record.
- NGL transportation volumes were up 4%, setting a new
Partnership record.
- The Partnership recently completed a 50 MMcf/d expansion to the
Orla East processing plant in the Permian Basin.
- The Partnership also recently completed construction of a
30-mile crude oil pipeline that allows Energy Transfer to transport
approximately 100,000 Bbls/d of crude oil from its terminals in
Midland, Texas to Cushing, Oklahoma.
- Energy Transfer recently approved construction of its ninth
fractionator at Mont Belvieu, which will have a capacity of 165,000
Bbls/d. Frac IX is expected to be in service in the fourth quarter
of 2026 and will increase the Partnership’s total fractionation
capacity at Mont Belvieu to more than 1.3 million Bbls/d.
Strategic Highlights
- In July 2024, Energy Transfer completed the acquisition of WTG
Midstream Holdings LLC (“WTG Midstream”), which added approximately
6,000 miles of complementary gas gathering pipelines and extended
Energy Transfer’s network in the Midland Basin. The transaction
also added nine gas processing plants with a total capacity of
approximately 1.5 Bcf/d, and an additional 200 MMcf/d processing
plant is currently under construction.
- In July 2024, Energy Transfer and Sunoco LP formed a joint
venture combining their respective crude oil and produced water
gathering assets in the Permian Basin. Energy Transfer serves as
the operator of the joint venture.
- With forecasts suggesting that natural gas fueled power demand
will increase significantly in the future, Energy Transfer is
seeing increasing opportunities to provide natural gas to power
plants and data centers spread across its natural gas footprint,
from Arizona to Florida and from Texas to Michigan.
Financial Highlights
- In October 2024, Energy Transfer announced a cash distribution
of $0.3225 per common unit ($1.29 annualized) for the quarter ended
September 30, 2024.
- As of September 30, 2024, the Partnership’s revolving credit
facility had $3.34 billion available for future borrowings.
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 one-third of the
Partnership’s consolidated Adjusted EBITDA for the three months
ended September 30, 2024. The vast majority of the Partnership’s
segment margins are fee-based and therefore have limited commodity
price sensitivity.

Central Time/4:30 p.m. Eastern Time on Wednesday, November 6, 2024

(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 either 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 measures that are computed in
accordance with GAAP, such as operating income, net income and cash
flows 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 valuation 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 investees’ 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 subsidiaries with publicly traded equity interests,
Distributable Cash Flow (consolidated) includes 100% of
Distributable Cash Flow attributable to such subsidiary, and
Distributable Cash Flow attributable to our partners includes
distributions to be received by the parent company with respect to
the periods presented.
- For consolidated joint ventures or similar entities, where the
noncontrolling interest is not publicly traded, Distributable Cash
Flow (consolidated) includes 100% of Distributable Cash Flow
attributable to such subsidiaries, but Distributable Cash Flow
attributable to partners reflects only the amount of Distributable
Cash Flow of such subsidiaries that is attributable to our
ownership interest.
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)
Non-operating litigation-related loss
recognized in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023
represents the loss associated with a recent adverse ruling. This
non-recurring, non-operating loss has been excluded from the
Partnership’s calculation of Adjusted EBITDA.
(c)
These amounts exclude Sunoco LP’s Adjusted
EBITDA and distributable cash flow related to its investment in the
Permian joint venture, which amounts are eliminated in the Energy
Transfer consolidation.
(d)
For the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2024, the amount reflected for transaction-related
income taxes reflects current income tax expense recognized by
Sunoco LP in connection with its April 2024 sale of convenience
stores in West Texas, New Mexico and Oklahoma.

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.

Transported volumes of gas on our Texas
intrastate pipelines decreased primarily due to less third-party
transportation and decreased gas production from the Haynesville
area. Transported volumes reported above exclude volumes
attributable to purchases and sales of gas for our pipelines’ own
accounts and the optimization of any unused capacity.
Segment Adjusted EBITDA. For the three
months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same period last
year, Segment Adjusted EBITDA related to our intrastate
transportation and storage segment increased due to the net impact
of the following:
- an increase of $100 million in realized natural gas sales and
other primarily due to higher pipeline optimization from physical
sales; and
- a decrease of $10 million in operating expenses primarily due
to a change related to fuel consumption that is offset in cost of
products sold in 2024; partially offset by
- a decrease of $13 million in storage margin primarily due to
the timing of financial gains;
- a decrease of $11 million in retained fuel margin primarily due
to a change related to fuel consumption that is offset in operating
expenses in 2024; and
- a decrease of $4 million in transportation fees primarily due
to a contract expiration on our Louisiana system.

Transported volumes increased primarily
due to more capacity sold and higher utilization on our Panhandle,
Trunkline and Gulf Run systems due to increased demand.
Segment Adjusted EBITDA. For the three
months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same period last
year, Segment Adjusted EBITDA related to our interstate
transportation and storage segment decreased due to the net impact
of the following:
- an increase of $25 million in operating expenses primarily due
to a $10 million one-time benefit recorded in the third quarter of
2023 which reduced operating expense, a $6 million increase in
maintenance project costs, a $3 million increase from the
revaluation of system gas and an aggregate increase of $5 million
in employee costs and office expense;
- an increase of $4 million in selling, general and
administrative expenses primarily due to higher professional fees
and higher overhead costs; and
- a decrease of $4 million in Adjusted EBITDA related to
unconsolidated affiliates primarily due to lower revenue on our
Midcontinent Express Pipeline joint venture; partially offset
by
- an increase of $3 million in segment margin primarily due to a
$23 million increase resulting from a rate adjustment in 2023
related to the conclusion of a rate case on our Panhandle system,
partially offset by an $11 million decrease due to lower
interruptible utilization, a $7 million decrease in transportation
revenue from several of our interstate pipeline systems due to
lower contracted volumes at lower rates and a $5 million decrease
due to lower market prices on the sale of operational gas.

Gathered volumes increased primarily due
to recently acquired assets and higher volumes in the Permian
region. NGL production increased primarily due to recently acquired
assets and increased Permian plant utilization.
Segment Adjusted EBITDA. For the three
months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same period last
year, Segment Adjusted EBITDA related to our midstream segment
increased due to the net impact of the following:
- an increase of $254 million in segment margin primarily due to
recently acquired assets and higher volumes in the Permian region;
and
- an increase of $70 million in other income due to the
recognition of proceeds from a business interruption claim;
partially offset by
- an increase of $117 million in operating expenses primarily due
to a $108 million increase related to recent acquisitions and
assets placed in service and a $9 million increase in employee
costs;
- a decrease of $16 million in segment margin due to lower
natural gas prices; and
- an increase of $7 million in selling, general and
administrative expenses primarily due to higher insurance
expenses.

NGL transportation volumes increased
primarily due to higher volumes from the Permian region, on our
Mariner East pipeline system and on our Gulf Coast export
pipelines.
The increase in transportation volumes and
the commissioning of our eighth fractionator in August 2023 also
led to higher fractionated volumes at our Mont Belvieu NGL
Complex.
Segment Adjusted EBITDA. For the three
months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same period last
year, Segment Adjusted EBITDA related to our NGL and refined
products transportation and services segment decreased due to the
net impact of the following:
- a decrease of $70 million in marketing margin (excluding
unrealized gains and losses on commodity risk management
activities) primarily due to $100 million in gains recorded in the
third quarter of 2023 from the optimization of hedged NGL and
refined product inventories compared to $30 million in gains
recorded for the third quarter of 2024. This decrease also included
a $2 million decrease in intrasegment margin which is fully offset
within our transportation margin;
- a decrease of $12 million in fractionators and refinery
services margin resulting from a $27 million increase due to higher
volumes and a $2 million increase from our refinery services
business, offset by a $41 million decrease in rates, primarily from
our midstream segment due to lower gas prices and the restructuring
of certain affiliate fractionation agreements;
- an increase of $8 million in operating expenses primarily due
to a $6 million increase in employee costs, a $4 million increase
in ad valorem taxes, a $4 million increase in outside services
expenses and increases totaling $6 million from various other
operating expenses. These increases were partially offset by an $11
million decrease in gas and power utility costs; and
- an increase of $9 million in selling, general and
administrative expenses primarily due to increased costs from
recently acquired assets; partially offset by
- an increase of $25 million in terminal services margin
primarily due to a $15 million increase from higher export volumes
loaded at our Nederland Terminal, an $8 million increase from our
Marcus Hook Terminal due to higher throughput and contractual rate
escalations and a $3 million increase due to higher throughput and
storage at our refined product terminals; and
- an increase of $8 million in transportation margin primarily
due to higher throughput and contractual rate escalations of $19
million on our Mariner East pipeline system and intrasegment
charges of $7 million and $2 million which were fully offset within
our fractionators and marketing margins, respectively. These
increases were partially offset by decreased revenue on our Texas
y-grade pipeline system, despite higher volumes, primarily due to
the restructuring of certain affiliate transportation
agreements.

Crude oil transportation volumes were
higher due to continued growth on our gathering systems and
contributions from recently acquired assets. Crude terminal volumes
were lower due to lower refinery-driven throughput at our Gulf
Coast terminals, partially offset by higher export
volumes.
Segment Adjusted EBITDA. For the three
months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same period last
year, Segment Adjusted EBITDA related to our crude oil
transportation and services segment increased due to the net impact
of the following:
- an increase of $121 million in segment margin (excluding
unrealized gains and losses on commodity risk management
activities) primarily due to a $150 million increase from recently
acquired assets and contributions from the recently formed Permian
joint venture with Sunoco LP; this increase was partially offset by
a $21 million decrease from our crude oil acquisition and marketing
business primarily due to lower refined product prices and an $11
million decrease from existing pipeline assets; partially offset
by
- an increase of $48 million in operating expenses from recently
acquired and contributed assets, as well as increases in ad valorem
taxes, employee costs, outside services and various volume-driven
expenses; and
- an increase of $10 million in selling, general and
administrative expenses primarily due to an increase of $7 million
from recently acquired assets and related corporate allocations,
and higher employee expenses.

following:
- an increase in segment margin (excluding unrealized gains and
losses on commodity risk management activities and inventory
valuation adjustments) of $237 million primarily related to the
acquisitions of NuStar and Zenith European terminals; and
- a $45 million increase in Adjusted EBITDA related to
unconsolidated affiliates due to the formation of the Permian joint

segment increased due to the net impact of the following:
- an increase of $20 million in segment margin primarily due to
higher revenue-generating horsepower as a result of increased
demand for compression services, higher market-based rates on newly
deployed and redeployed compression units and higher average rates
on existing customer contracts; partially offset by
- an increase of $4 million in operating expenses primarily due
to an increase in employee costs associated with increased
revenue-generating horsepower.

decreased due to the net impact of the following:
- a decrease of $49 million related to intersegment eliminations
primarily driven by the formation of the Permian joint venture,
which is consolidated in our crude oil transportation and services
segment and also reflected as an unconsolidated affiliate in our
investment in Sunoco LP segment; partially offset by
- an increase of $11 million in our natural gas marketing
business due to higher gains from gas trading and storage
positions; and
- an increase of $7 million from our compressor packaging
business.
