ENERGY TRANSFER REPORTS THIRD QUARTER 2024 RESULTS
Dallas – November 6, 2024 - 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.
1

•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.

(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.
6

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.

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.

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.

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.
