The year 2024 will mark our 26th consecutive year of distribution growth. In addition, the partnership has
“We completed a comprehensive turnaround of our PDH 1 plant during the second quarter. We expect this work will result in greater reliability and higher utilization rates. Since PDH 1 returned to service in late June, it has operated above its nameplate capacity. Upon completion of the PDH 1 turnaround, we elected to promptly begin the planned turnaround of PDH 2 given scheduling efficiencies and availability of manpower and equipment. We expect PDH 2 to return to service in August. I would like to thank our
Review of Second Quarter 2024 Results
Total gross operating margin was
NGL Pipelines & Services – Gross operating margin from the NGL Pipelines & Services segment was
Gross operating margin from the natural gas processing business and related NGL marketing activities was
-
Gross operating margin from Permian natural gas processing facilities, including the
Midland andDelaware Basin assets, increased$81 million primarily attributable to the addition of four natural gas processing plants that went into service during the last twelve months. These plants contributed to higher fee-based processing volumes and higher equity NGL-equivalent volumes for theMidland andDelaware Basin assets. These assets also benefited from higher average processing margins, primarily due to the impact of hedging.Midland Basin fee-based processing volumes increased 342 MMcf/d stemming from the addition of the Poseidon and Leonidas natural gas processing trains, which were placed in service inJuly 2023 and lateMarch 2024 , respectively.Midland Basin equity NGL-equivalent production volumes increased 23 MBPD.Delaware Basin fee-based processing volumes increased 359 MMcf/d benefiting from the addition of theMentone 2 andMentone 3 processing trains, which were placed in service inOctober 2023 and lateMarch 2024 , respectively.Delaware Basin equity NGL-equivalent production volumes increased 3 MBPD. -
Gross operating margin from
South Texas natural gas processing facilities increased$16 million primarily due to higher average processing margins, higher fee-based processing volumes, and lower operating costs.South Texas fee-based processing volumes increased 153 MMcf/d. Equity NGL-equivalent production volumes were essentially flat. -
Gross operating margin from Rockies natural gas processing facilities increased
$6 million primarily due to higher fee-based processing volumes, which increased 256 MMcf/d, and higher equity NGL-equivalent volumes, which increased 9 MBPD. -
Gross operating margin from NGL marketing activities decreased
$34 million primarily due to lower average sales margins, partially offset by higher sales volumes.
Gross operating margin from the NGL pipelines and storage business was
-
On a combined basis, the pipelines serving the Permian and
Rocky Mountain regions reported a$21 million increase in gross operating margin. This includes the Mid-America,Seminole ,Shin Oak , and Chaparral NGL pipeline systems. The variance was primarily driven by a 179 MBPD, net to our interest, increase in transportation volumes and higher average transportation fees. -
Eastern ethane pipelines, which include the ATEX and Aegis pipelines, reported a
$21 million increase in gross operating margin largely due to higher transportation revenues. Eastern ethane pipeline volumes decreased 48 MBPD. -
Gross operating margin from the
Enterprise Hydrocarbons Terminal (“EHT”) increased$18 million primarily due to a 72 MBPD increase in LPG export volumes and higher average loading fees. Gross operating margin from the Morgan’sPoint Ethane Export Terminal increased$4 million primarily due to a 39 MBPD increase in export volumes. Gross operating margin from the Houston Ship Channel Pipeline System increased$9 million in connection with a 139 MBPD increase in transportation volumes. -
Gross operating margin from the
Mont Belvieu area storage complex increased$18 million primarily due to higher storage revenues.
Gross operating margin from the NGL fractionation business was
-
Gross operating margin from our
Mont Belvieu area NGL fractionation complex increased$25 million primarily due to a 216 MBPD, net to our interest, increase in fractionation volumes, partially offset by higher operating costs. The increase in volume and gross operating margin was primarily due to the addition of the 12th NGL fractionator at this facility, which was placed in service inJuly 2023 . Fractionation volumes also benefited from the acquisition of the remaining 25 percent equity interest inEF78 LLC inFebruary 2024 .
Crude Oil Pipelines & Services – Gross operating margin from the Crude Oil Pipelines & Services segment was
-
Gross operating margin from crude oil activities at EHT increased
$8 million primarily due to higher loading revenues. Crude oil marine terminal volumes increased 138 MBPD. -
Gross operating margin from the
Midland -to-ECHO system and related business activities increased$4 million . Transportation volumes, net to our interest, increased 153 MBPD primarily due to our acquisition of the remaining 20 percent equity interest inWhitethorn Pipeline Company LLC in February of 2024. -
On a combined basis, our
Texas in-basin crude oil pipelines, terminals and other marketing activities reported a$23 million decrease in gross operating margin primarily due to lower average sales margins and transportation fees, partially offset by higher sales volumes. Transportation volumes, net to our interest, increased 14 MBPD.
Natural Gas Pipelines & Services – Gross operating margin for the Natural Gas Pipelines & Services segment was
-
Gross operating margin from the Texas Intrastate System increased
$36 million primarily due to higher capacity reservation and transportation revenues, partially offset by higher operating costs. Transportation volumes decreased 294 BBtus/d. -
Gross operating margin from our natural gas marketing business increased
$24 million primarily due to higher average sales margins. -
Permian natural gas gathering, including
Delaware Basin andMidland Basin Gathering Systems, reported a combined$5 million increase in gross operating margin primarily due to an 831 BBtus/d increase in gathering volumes, partially offset by higher operating costs. -
Gross operating margin from Haynesville Gathering decreased
$11 million primarily due to lower transportation volumes and revenues. Transportation volumes decreased 168 BBtus/d.
Petrochemical & Refined Products Services – Gross operating margin for the Petrochemical & Refined Products Services segment was
-
Gross operating margin from our octane enhancement and related plant operations increased
$14 million primarily due to higher sales volumes and revenues. -
Propylene production and related activities reported a
$6 million increase in gross operating margin. Our propylene production facilities reported higher propylene processing revenues and higher average sales margins that were partially offset by lower propylene sales volumes and higher operating costs. Total propylene and associated by-product production volumes were 96 MBPD, net to our interest, a 12 MBPD increase. This increase was driven by contributions from the PDH 2 facility, which was placed in service inJuly 2023 , and higher operating rates at our propylene splitters which experienced 57 days of downtime in the second quarter of 2023. The increases were partially offset by lower production at our PDH 1 facility which was down for 79 days during the second quarter of 2024 for planned maintenance. -
Gross operating margin from our refined products pipelines and related activities decreased
$8 million primarily due to lower average sales margins and lower fee-based revenues at ourBeaumont terminal facility.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release and accompanying schedules include the non-GAAP financial measures of total gross operating margin, Adjusted CFFO, FCF, Adjusted FCF, DCF, Operational DCF and Adjusted EBITDA. The accompanying schedules provide definitions of these non-GAAP financial measures and reconciliations to their most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Our non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as alternatives to GAAP measures such as net income, operating income, net cash flow provided by operating activities or any other measure of financial performance calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Our non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies because they may not calculate such measures in the same manner as we do.

FCF is a non-GAAP measure of how much cash a business generates after accounting for capital expenditures such as plants or pipelines. Additionally, Adjusted FCF is a non-GAAP measure of how much cash a business generates, excluding the net effect of changes in operating accounts, after accounting for capital expenditures. We believe that FCF is important to traditional investors since it reflects the amount of cash available for reducing debt, investing in additional capital projects and/or paying distributions. We believe that Adjusted FCF is also important to traditional investors for the same reasons as FCF, without regard for fluctuations caused by timing of when amounts earned or incurred were collected, received or paid from period to period. Since we partner with other companies to fund certain capital projects of our consolidated subsidiaries, our determination of FCF and Adjusted FCF appropriately reflect the amount of cash contributed from and distributed to noncontrolling interests.

Adjusted CFFO is a non-GAAP measure that represents net cash flow provided by operating activities before the net effect of changes in operating accounts. We believe that it is important to consider this non-GAAP measure as it can often be a better way to measure the amount of cash generated from our operations that can be used to fund our capital investments or return value to our investors through cash distributions and buybacks, without regard for fluctuations caused by timing of when amounts earned or incurred were collected, received or paid from period to period.

Sustaining capital expenditures are capital expenditures (as defined by GAAP) resulting from improvements to and major renewals of existing assets. Such expenditures serve to maintain existing operations but do not generate additional revenues. |
DCF is an important non-GAAP liquidity measure for our common unitholders since it serves as an indicator of our success in providing a cash return on investment. Specifically, this liquidity measure indicates to investors whether or not we are generating cash flows at a level that can sustain or support an increase in our quarterly cash distributions. DCF is also a quantitative standard used by the investment community with respect to publicly traded partnerships because the value of a partnership unit is, in part, measured by its yield, which is based on the amount of cash distributions a partnership can pay to a common unitholder.
Operational DCF, which is defined as DCF excluding the impact of proceeds from asset sales and other matters and monetization of interest rate derivative instruments, is a supplemental non-GAAP liquidity measure that quantifies the portion of cash available for distribution to common unitholders that was generated from our normal operations. We believe that it is important to consider this non-GAAP measure as it provides an enhanced perspective of our assets’ ability to generate cash flows without regard for certain items that do not reflect our core operations.
The GAAP measure most directly comparable to DCF and Operational DCF is net cash flow provided by operating activities.

Excludes amortization of major maintenance costs for reaction-based plants, which are a component of Adjusted EBITDA. |
Adjusted EBITDA is commonly used as a supplemental financial measure by our management and external users of our financial statements, such as investors, commercial banks, research analysts and rating agencies, to assess the financial performance of our assets without regard to financing methods, capital structures or historical cost basis; the ability of our assets to generate cash sufficient to pay interest and support our indebtedness; and the viability of projects and the overall rates of return on alternative investment opportunities.
Since Adjusted EBITDA excludes some, but not all, items that affect net income or loss and because these measures may vary among other companies, the Adjusted EBITDA data presented in this press release may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. The GAAP measure most directly comparable to Adjusted EBITDA is net cash flow provided by operating activities.

Excludes amortization of major maintenance costs for reaction-based plants, which are a component of gross operating margin. |
We evaluate segment performance based on our financial measure of gross operating margin. Gross operating margin is an important performance measure of the core profitability of our operations and forms the basis of our internal financial reporting. We believe that investors benefit from having access to the same financial measures that our management uses in evaluating segment results.
The term “total gross operating margin” represents GAAP operating income exclusive of (i) depreciation, amortization and accretion expenses (excluding amortization of major maintenance costs for reaction-based plants), (ii) impairment charges, (iii) gains and losses attributable to asset sales and related matters, and (iv) general and administrative costs. Total gross operating margin includes equity in the earnings of unconsolidated affiliates, but is exclusive of other income and expense transactions, income taxes, the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles and extraordinary charges. Total gross operating margin is presented on a 100 percent basis before any allocation of earnings to noncontrolling interests. The GAAP financial measure most directly comparable to total gross operating margin is operating income.
Total gross operating margin excludes amounts attributable to shipper make-up rights as described in footnote (6) to Exhibit A of this press release.
