Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

1. Organization and Basis of Presentation

As used in this report, the terms "Delek Logistics Partners, LP," the "Partnership," "we," "us," or "our" may refer to Delek Logistics Partners, LP, one or more of its consolidated subsidiaries or all of them taken as a whole.

The Partnership is a Delaware limited partnership formed in April 2012 by Delek US Holdings, Inc. ("Delek Holdings") and its subsidiary Delek Logistics GP, LLC, our general partner (our "general partner"). On April 8, 2022, DKL Delaware Gathering, LLC, a subsidiary of the Partnership ("Delaware Gathering"), entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the “3 Bear Purchase Agreement”) with 3 Bear Energy – New Mexico LLC (the “Seller”) to purchase 100% of the limited liability company interests in 3 Bear Delaware Holding – NM, LLC (“3 Bear”) (subsequently renamed to DKL Delaware Holding - NM, LLC), related to the Seller’s crude oil and natural gas gathering, processing and transportation businesses, as well as water disposal and recycling operations, in the Delaware Basin of New Mexico (the “Delaware Gathering Acquisition”). The Delaware Gathering Acquisition was completed on June 1, 2022 (the "Acquisition Date").

The Partnership provides gathering, pipeline and other transportation services primarily for crude oil and natural gas customers, storage, wholesale marketing and terminalling services primarily for intermediate and refined product customers, and water disposal and recycling services through its owned assets and joint ventures located primarily in the Permian Basin (including the Delaware sub-basin) and other select areas in the Gulf Coast region. A substantial majority of our existing assets are both integral to and dependent upon the success of Delek Holdings' refining operations, as many of our assets are contracted exclusively to Delek Holdings in support of its Tyler, El Dorado and Big Spring refineries.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") have been condensed or omitted, although management believes that the disclosures herein are adequate to make the financial information presented not misleading. Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with GAAP applied on a consistent basis with those of the annual audited financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 (our "Annual Report on Form 10-K"), filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on March 1, 2023 and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2022 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

All adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been included. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Such intercompany transactions do not include those with Delek Holdings or our general partner, which are presented as related parties in these accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. All adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. Operating results for the interim period should not be viewed as representative of results that may be expected for any future interim period or for the full year.

Reclassifications

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified in order to conform to the current period presentation.

New Accounting Pronouncements Adopted During 2023

ASU 2023-03 , Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205), Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220), Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480), Equity (Topic 505), and Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718)

In July 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-03, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205), Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220), Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480), Equity (Topic 505), and Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718) (“ASU 2023-03”). This ASU amends or supersedes various SEC paragraphs within the FASB Accounting Standards Codification to conform to past SEC announcements and guidance issued by the SEC. ASU 2023-03 does not provide any new guidance, so there is no transition or effective date. We adopted ASU 2023-03 in July 2023. There was no material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

ASU 2023-06, Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC's Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative

In October 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-06 Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC's Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative ("ASU 2023-06"). The main provision of ASU 2023-06 is to clarify or improve disclosure and presentation requirements of a variety of topics, which will allow users to more easily compare entities subject to the SEC's existing disclosures with those entities that were not previously subject to the requirements, and align the requirements in the FASB accounting standard codification with the SEC's regulations. The effective date for each amendment will be the date on which the SEC’s removal of that related disclosure from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K becomes effective, with early adoption prohibited. The Partnership is currently evaluating the provisions of the amendments and the impact on its future consolidated statements, but does not currently expect adopting this new guidance will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

2. Acquisitions

Delaware Gathering (formerly 3 Bear)

We completed the Delaware Gathering Acquisition on June 1, 2022, in which we acquired crude oil and natural gas gathering, processing, and transportation and storage operations, as well as water disposal and recycling operations, located in the Delaware Basin of New Mexico. The purchase price for the Delaware Gathering Acquisition was $628.3 million. The Delaware Gathering Acquisition was financed through a combination of cash on hand and borrowings under the DKL Credit Facility.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, we incurred no incremental direct acquisition and integration costs. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we incurred $4.2 million and $10.6 million, respectively, in incremental direct acquisition and integration costs that principally consist of legal, advisory and other professional fees. Such costs are included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income for these periods.

The Delaware Gathering Acquisition was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting, whereby the purchase price was allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and the liabilities assumed based on their fair values. The excess of the consideration paid over the fair value of the net assets acquired was recorded as goodwill.

Determination of Purchase Price

The table below presents the purchase price (in thousands):


Base purchase price:	$	624,700
Add: closing net working capital (as defined in the 3 Bear Purchase Agreement)	3,600
Less: closing indebtedness (as defined in the 3 Bear Purchase Agreement)	(80,618)
Cash paid for the adjusted purchase price	547,682
Cash paid to payoff 3 Bear credit agreement (as defined in the 3 Bear Purchase Agreement)	80,618
Purchase price	$	628,300

Purchase Price Allocation

The following table summarizes the final fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the Delaware Gathering Acquisition as of June 1, 2022 (in thousands):


Assets acquired:
Cash and cash equivalents	$	2,678
Accounts receivables, net	28,859
Inventories	1,836
Other current assets	986
Property, plant and equipment	382,799
Operating lease right-of-use assets	7,427
Goodwill	14,848
Customer relationship intangible, net	210,000
Rights-of-way	13,490
Other non-current assets	500
Total assets acquired	663,423

Liabilities assumed:
Accounts payable	8,020
Accrued expenses and other current liabilities	22,382

Current portion of operating lease liabilities	1,029
Asset retirement obligations	2,261
Operating lease liabilities, net of current portion	1,431
Total liabilities assumed	35,123
Fair value of net assets acquired	$	628,300

The fair value of property, plant and equipment was based on the combination of the cost and market approaches. Key assumptions in the cost approach include determining the replacement cost by evaluating recently published data and adjusting replacement cost for physical deterioration, functional and economic obsolescence. We used the market approach to measure the value of certain assets through an analysis of recent sales or offerings of comparable properties.

The fair value of customer relationships was based on the income approach. Key assumptions in the income approach include projected revenue attributable to customer relationships, attrition rate, operating margins and discount rates.

The fair values discussed above were based on significant inputs that are not observable in the market and, therefore, represent Level 3 measurements.

The fair values of all other current assets and payables were equivalent to their carrying values due to their short-term nature.

The goodwill recognized in the Delaware Gathering Acquisition is primarily attributable to enhancing our third party revenues, further diversification of our customer and product mix, expanding our footprint into the Delaware basin and bolstering our Environmental, Social and Governance ("ESG") optionality through furthering carbon capture opportunities and greenhouse gas reduction projects currently underway. This goodwill is deductible for income tax purposes. Goodwill related to the Delaware Gathering Acquisition is included in the Gathering and Processing segment.

Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information

The following table summarizes the unaudited pro forma financial information of the Partnership assuming the Delaware Gathering Acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2021. The unaudited pro forma financial information has been adjusted to give effect to certain pro forma adjustments that are directly related to the Delaware Gathering Acquisition based on available information and certain assumptions that management believes are factually supportable. The most significant pro forma adjustments relate to (i) incremental interest expense and amortization of deferred financing costs associated with revolving credit facility borrowings incurred in connection with the Delaware Gathering Acquisition, (ii) incremental depreciation resulting from the estimated fair values of acquired property, plant and equipment, (iii) incremental amortization resulting from the estimated fair value of the acquired customer relationship intangibles, (iv) accounting policy alignment and (v) transaction costs. The unaudited pro forma financial information excludes any expected cost savings or other synergies as a result of the Delaware Gathering Acquisition. The unaudited pro forma financial information is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that would have been achieved had the Delaware Gathering Acquisition been effective as of the date presented, nor is it indicative of future operating results of the combined company. Actual results may differ significantly from the unaudited pro forma financial information.

Most of these agreements have an initial term ranging from five to ten years, which may be extended for various renewal terms at the option of Delek Holdings. The fees under each agreement are payable to us monthly by Delek Holdings or certain third parties to whom Delek Holdings has assigned certain of its rights and are generally subject to increase or decrease on July 1 of each year, by the amount of any change in various inflation-based indices, however, in no event will the fees be adjusted below the amount initially set forth in the applicable agreement. Under each of these agreements, we are required to maintain the capabilities of our pipelines and terminals, such that Delek Holdings may throughput and/or store, as the case may be, specified volumes of crude oil, intermediate and refined products.

See our Annual Report on Form 10-K for a more complete description of our material commercial agreements and other agreements with Delek Holdings.

Other Agreements with Delek Holdings

In addition to the commercial agreements described above, the Partnership has entered into the following agreements with Delek Holdings:

Omnibus Agreement

The Partnership entered into an omnibus agreement with Delek Holdings, our general partner, Delek Logistics Operating, LLC, Lion Oil Company, LLC and certain of the Partnership’s and Delek Holdings' other subsidiaries on November 7, 2012, which has been amended and restated from time to time in connection with acquisitions from Delek Holdings (collectively, as amended and restated, the "Omnibus Agreement"). The Omnibus Agreement governs the provision of certain operational services and reimbursement obligations, among other matters, between the Partnership and Delek Holdings, and obligates us to pay an annual fee of $4.3 million to Delek Holdings for its provision of centralized corporate services to the Partnership.

Pursuant to the terms of the Omnibus Agreement, we are reimbursed by Delek Holdings for certain capital expenditures. These amounts are recorded in other long-term liabilities and are amortized to revenue over the life of the underlying revenue agreement corresponding to the asset. There was no reimbursement by Delek Holdings during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023. We were reimbursed a nominal amount by Delek Holdings during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, with no such reimbursements during the three months ended September 30, 2022. Additionally, we are reimbursed or indemnified, as the case may be, for costs incurred in excess of certain amounts related to certain asset failures, pursuant to the terms of the Omnibus Agreement. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there was no receivable from related parties for these matters. These reimbursements are recorded as reductions to operating expenses. There were no reimbursements for these matters in each of the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2023 and 2022.

Other Transactions

The Partnership manages long-term capital projects on behalf of Delek Holdings pursuant to a construction management and operating agreement (the "DPG Management Agreement") for the construction of gathering systems in the Permian Basin. The majority of the gathering systems have been constructed, however, additional costs pertaining to a pipeline connection that was not acquired by the Partnership continue to be incurred and are still subject to the terms of the DPG Management Agreement. The Partnership is also considered the operator for the project and is responsible for oversight of the project design, procurement and construction of project segments and provides other related services. Pursuant to the terms of the DPG Management Agreement, the Partnership receives a monthly operating services fee and a construction services fee, which includes the Partnership's direct costs of managing the project plus an additional percentage fee of the construction costs of each project segment. The agreement extends through December 2023. Total fees paid to the Partnership were $0.4 million for both the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $1.2 million for both the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, which are recorded in affiliate revenue in our condensed consolidated statements of income. Additionally, the Partnership incurs the costs in connection with the construction of the assets and is subsequently reimbursed by Delek Holdings. Amounts reimbursable by Delek Holdings are recorded in accounts receivable from related parties.

5. Net Income per Unit

Basic net income per unit applicable to limited partners is computed by dividing limited partners' interest in net income by the weighted-average number of outstanding common units. Diluted net income per unit applicable to common limited partners includes the effects of potentially dilutive units on our common units. As of September 30, 2023, the only potentially dilutive units outstanding consist of unvested phantom units.

The table below represents total cash distributions applicable to the period in which the distributions are earned. Payments made to our unitholders are determined in relation to actual distributions declared and are not based on the net income allocations used in the calculation of net income per unit. The calculation of net income per unit is as follows (dollars in thousands, except units and per unit amounts):

DKL Credit Facility

The DKL Term Facility principal of $300.0 million was drawn on October 13, 2022. On November 6, 2023, the Partnership entered into a First Amendment, a Second Amendment and a Third Amendment to the DKL Credit Facility (together, the “Amendments”) to the DKL Credit Facility to extend the maturity of the Term Loan Facility to April 15, 2025. In addition, the Amendments added a maturity acceleration clause which will accelerate the maturity of the DKL Term Loan Facility to 180 days prior to the stated maturity date of the 2025 Notes if any of the 2025 Notes remain outstanding on that date. This senior secured facility requires four quarterly amortization payments of $3.8 million in 2023, four quarterly amortization payments of $7.5 million in 2024 and one quarterly amortization payment of $7.5 million in 2025 with final maturity and principal due on April 15, 2025. At the Partnership's option, borrowings bear interest at either the Adjusted Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate benchmark (“SOFR”) or U.S. dollar prime rate, plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin is 2.50% for the first year of the DKL Term Facility and 3.00% for the second year for U.S. dollar prime rate borrowings. SOFR rate borrowings include a credit spread adjustment of 0.10% to 0.25% plus an applicable margin of 3.50% for the first year and 4.00% for the second year. At September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the weighted average borrowing rate was approximately 8.92% and 7.92%, respectively. The effective interest rate was 9.48% as of September 30, 2023.

The DKL Revolving Facility has a total capacity of $900.0 million, including up to $115.0 million for letters of credit and $25.0 million in swing line loans. This facility has a maturity date of October 13, 2027 which will accelerate to 180 days prior to the stated maturity date of the Delek Logistics 2025 Notes if any of the Delek Logistics 2025 Notes remain outstanding on that date. On November 6, 2023, the Partnership entered into the Amendments which among other things: (i) increased the U.S. Revolving Credit Commitments (as defined in the DKL Credit Facility) by an amount equal to $150.0 million, resulting in aggregate lender commitments under the DKL Revolving Credit Facility in an amount of $1.050 billion and (ii) increased the limit allowed for general unsecured debt (as defined in the DKL Credit Facility) by an amount equal to $95.0 million, resulting in an unsecured general debt limit of $150.0 million.

The DKL Revolving Facility requires a quarterly unused commitment fee based on average commitment usage, currently at 0.50% per annum. Interest is measured at either the U.S. dollar prime rate plus an applicable margin of 1.00% to 2.00% depending on the Partnership’s Total Leverage Ratio (as defined in the DKL Credit Agreement), or a SOFR rate plus a credit spread adjustment of 0.10% or 0.25% and an applicable margin ranging from 2.00% to 3.00% depending on the Partnership’s Total Leverage Ratio. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the weighted average interest rate was 8.45% and 7.55%, respectively. There were no letters of credit outstanding as of September 30, 2023 or December 31, 2022.

The obligations under the 2022 DKL Credit Facility are secured by first priority liens on substantially all of the Partnership’s and its subsidiaries’ tangible and intangible assets. The carrying values of outstanding borrowings under the 2022 DKL Credit Facility as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 approximate their fair values.

Our debt facilities contain affirmative and negative covenants and events of default the Partnership considers usual and customary. As of September 30, 2023, we were in compliance with covenants on all of our debt instruments.

Related Party Revolving Credit Facility

On November 6, 2023, the Partnership and certain of its subsidiaries, as guarantors, entered into a certain Promissory Note (the “Related Party Revolving Credit Facility”) with Delek Holdings. The Related Party Revolving Credit Facility provides for revolving borrowings with aggregate commitments of $70.0 million comprised of a (i) $55.0 million senior tranche and a (ii) $15.0 million subordinated tranche (the “Subordinated Tranche”), with the initial borrowings under the Subordinated Tranche conditioned upon the Partnership and Delek Holdings reaching an agreement with Fifth Third Bank, National Association, as administrative agent under the DKL Credit Facility, on subordination provisions and other material terms related to the Subordinated Tranche. The Related Party Revolving Credit Facility will bear interest at Term SOFR (as defined in the Related Party Revolving Credit Facility) plus 3.00%. The Related Party Revolving Credit Facility proceeds will be used for the Partnership’s working capital purposes and other general corporate purposes. The Related Party Revolving Credit Facility will mature on June 30, 2028. The Related Party Revolving Credit Facility contains certain affirmative covenants, mandatory prepayments and events of

We do not consolidate any part of the assets or liabilities or operating results of our equity method investees. Our share of net income or loss of the investees will increase or decrease, as applicable, the carrying value of our investments in unconsolidated affiliates. With respect to our equity method investments, we determined that these entities do not represent variable interest entities and consolidation is not required. We have the ability to exercise significant influence over each of these joint ventures through our participation in the management committees, which make all significant decisions. However, since all significant decisions require the consent of the other investor(s) without regard to economic interest, we have determined that we have joint control and have applied the equity method of accounting. Our investment in these joint ventures is reflected in our investments in pipeline joint ventures segment.

9. Segment Data

We aggregate our operating segments into four reportable segments: (i) gathering and processing; (ii) wholesale marketing and terminalling; (iii) storage and transportation; and (iv) investment in pipeline joint ventures. Operations that are not specifically included in the reportable segments are included in Corporate and other segment.

During the fourth quarter 2022, we realigned our reportable segments for financial reporting purposes to reflect changes in the manner in which our Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") uses financial information to make key operating decisions and assess performance. The changes primarily represent reporting the operating results of our pipeline operations and legacy gathering assets and the operating results of the Delaware Gathering operations within a new reportable segment called gathering and processing. Prior to this change, the pipeline operations and legacy gathering assets were reported as part of the pipelines and transportation segment. The remaining operations of the former pipelines and transportation reportable segment was renamed to storage and transportation. Unallocated corporate costs, including general and administrative expenses, interest expense and depreciation and amortization, are now presented in corporate and other. Additionally, the CODM determined that Segment EBITDA is the key performance measure for planning and forecasting purposes and discontinued the use of Contribution Margin as a measure of performance. While this reporting change did not change our consolidated results, segment data for previous years has been restated and is consistent with the current year presentation throughout the financial statements and the accompanying notes.

EBITDA is an important measure used by management to evaluate the financial performance of our core operations. EBITDA is not a GAAP measure, but the components of EBITDA are computed using amounts that are determined in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of EBITDA to Net Income is included in the tables below. We define EBITDA as net income (loss) 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 in our accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income.

Assets by segment is not a measure used to assess the performance of the Partnership by the CODM and thus is not disclosed.

10. Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation

In the ordinary conduct of our business, we are from time to time subject to lawsuits, investigations and claims, including environmental claims and employee-related matters. Although we cannot predict with certainty the ultimate resolution of lawsuits, investigations and claims asserted against us, including civil penalties or other enforcement actions, we do not believe that any currently pending legal proceeding or proceedings to which we are a party will have a material adverse effect on our financial statements.

Environmental, Health and Safety

We are subject to extensive federal, state and local environmental and safety laws and regulations enforced by various agencies, including the Environmental Protection Agency (the "EPA"), the United States Department of Transportation, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, as well as numerous state, regional and local environmental, safety and pipeline agencies. These laws and regulations govern the discharge of materials into the environment, waste management practices and pollution prevention measures, as well as the safe operation of our pipelines and the safety of our workers and the public. Numerous permits or other authorizations are required under these laws and regulations for the operation of our terminals, pipelines, saltwells, trucks and related operations, and may be subject to revocation, modification and renewal.

These laws and permits raise potential exposure to future claims and lawsuits involving environmental and safety matters, which could include soil, surface water and groundwater contamination, air pollution, personal injury and property damage allegedly caused by substances which we may have handled, used, released or disposed of, transported, or that relate to pre-existing conditions for which we may have assumed responsibility. We believe that our current operations are in substantial compliance with existing environmental and safety requirements. However, there have been and we expect that there will continue to be ongoing discussions about environmental and safety matters between us and federal and state authorities, including the receipt and response to notices of violations, citations and other enforcement actions, some of which have resulted or may result in changes to operating procedures and in capital expenditures. While it is often difficult to quantify future environmental or safety related expenditures, we anticipate that continuing capital investments and changes in operating procedures will be required to comply with existing and new requirements, as well as evolving interpretations and enforcement of existing laws and regulations.

Releases of hydrocarbons or hazardous substances into the environment could, to the extent the event is not insured, or is not a reimbursable event under the Omnibus Agreement, subject us to substantial expenses, including costs to respond to, contain and remediate a release, to comply with applicable laws and regulations and to resolve claims by governmental agencies or other persons for personal injury, property damage, response costs, or natural resources damages.

11. Subsequent Events

Distribution Declaration

On October 25, 2023, our general partner's board of directors declared a quarterly cash distribution of $1.045 per unit, payable on November 13, 2023, to unitholders of record on November 6, 2023.

Management's Discussion and Analysis

Executive Summary: Management's View of Our Business and Strategic Overview


Management's View of Our Business

The Partnership primarily owns and operates crude oil, intermediate and refined products logistics and marketing assets as well as crude oil and natural gas gathering and water processing assets. We gather, transport, offload and store crude oil and intermediate products and market, distribute, transport and store refined products primarily in select regions of the southeastern United States and Texas for Delek Holdings and third parties. In June 2022, our DKL Delaware Gathering, LLC subsidiary ("Delaware Gathering") acquired 100% of the interest in 3 Bear Delaware Holding – NM, LLC ("3 Bear") (subsequently renamed to DKL Delaware Holding - NM, LLC), which expands our third-party revenue and includes crude oil and natural gas gathering, processing and transportation businesses, as well as water disposal and recycling operations, in the Delaware Basin of New Mexico (the “Delaware Gathering Business"). As we continue the process of integrating these operations into our existing businesses and assessing the long-term impact to our business, management (including the designated Chief Operating Decision Maker or “CODM”) has changed the way that the business is managed and reviewed, including from a financial reporting perspective. As a result, effective in the fourth quarter 2022, we have revised our reportable segments accordingly. The new reportable segments consist of Gathering and Processing, Wholesale Marketing and Terminalling, Storage and Transportation, and Investments in Pipeline Joint Ventures. The primary change in our segmentation as compared to prior presentations is that, now that we have substantially expanded our gathering activities, certain legacy gathering activities and operations are now managed as part of the Gathering and Processing segment. Additionally, we are also now segregating out certain non-segment specific costs and expenses and, when applicable, immaterial operating segments that may not fit into our existing reportable segments as Corporate and Other activities. A substantial portion of our existing assets are both integral to and dependent upon the success of Delek Holdings' refining operations, as many of our pipeline usage and gathered crude oil barrels are contracted either primarily or exclusively to Delek Holdings in support of its Tyler, El Dorado and Big Spring refineries.

The Partnership is not a taxable entity for federal income tax purposes or the income taxes of those states that follow the federal income tax treatment of partnerships. Instead, for purposes of such income taxes, each partner of the Partnership is required to take into account its share of items of income, gain, loss and deduction in computing its federal and state income tax liabilities, regardless of whether cash distributions are made to such partner by the Partnership. The taxable income reportable to each partner takes into account differences between the tax basis and the fair market value of our assets and financial reporting bases of assets and liabilities, the acquisition price of the partner's units and the taxable income allocation requirements under the Partnership's Second Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership, as amended (the "Partnership Agreement").

Business and Economic Environment Overview

During much of nine months ended September 30, 2023, domestic markets have experienced an elevated hydrocarbon pricing environment that has resulted in a strong demand for hydrocarbons and presented an opportunity for the Partnership to leverage its extensive network of logistics assets, resulting in increased throughputs and higher utilization as compared to the prior year. Additionally, the successful integration of Delaware Gathering further diversifies our logistics customer base to include significantly more third-party customers, and it allows us to provide comprehensive logistics services in the Delaware Basin, while also serving as a funnel into our existing midstream Permian activities. As producers continue to ramp up production within the Permian Basin, the Partnership is well positioned to continue to add value through our gathering and processing services as a result of integrating our Delaware Gathering operations which complement our existing Midland Gathering System assets. Our positioning allows our customers the ability to control quality and adds optionality to place barrels in a variety of markets. Through our joint venture projects, we have increased our supply network to take advantage of growth opportunities in expanding markets and added additional flexibility which has delivered realized value through the entire Delek Logistics system. While we experienced a $12.3 million decrease in net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, our EBITDA (as defined in "Non GAAP Measures" section below) increased $64.7 million in 2023 as compared to 2022. Our gathering and processing segment which had segment EBITDA of $161.0 million in 2023 compared to $127.1 million in 2022, benefited from additional EBITDA associated with the Delaware Gathering Acquisition as well as rate increases and new connections in our Midland Gathering operations. Our wholesale marketing and terminalling segment saw a $18.3 million increase in segment EBITDA. Segment EBITDA for our investments in pipeline joint ventures increased by $0.2 million. See the “Results of Operations” section below for further discussion.

Looking forward, concerns about inflation and a possible economic downturn as well as initiatives to reduce carbon footprints through energy transition to renewables have softened the forward demand expectations for hydrocarbons and natural gas. That said, we are well positioned to manage through an economic downturn because of built-in recessionary protections which include minimum volume commitments on throughput and dedicated acreage agreements. Furthermore, the Partnership benefited from inflationary-linked rate increases effective July 1, 2023, as discussed further below. Additionally, the Partnership has embraced opportunities to enhance our environmental stewardship. It is expected that renewables, other than hydrocarbons, will continue to grow as a percentage of total energy consumption; however, a material reduction in the reliance on oil and gas for energy consumption is unlikely in the near term. Therefore, as we look forward to the fourth quarter of 2023, we expect that liquid transportation fuels will continue to be in high demand, and we expect to continue to leverage the strength of our cash flows and balance sheet in order to continue maximizing unitholder returns and the long-term prospects for return on investment.

Management's Discussion and Analysis

Contractual Rate Adjustments to Keep Pace with Inflation

On July 1, 2023, the tariffs on certain of our FERC regulated pipelines and the throughput fees and storage fees under certain of our agreements with Delek Holdings and third parties that are subject to adjustments using FERC indexing increased by approximately 13.3%, which was the amount of the change in the FERC oil pipeline index. The tariff on FERC regulated system acquired from Delaware Gathering (formerly 3 Bear) was adjusted as of January 1, 2023, but adjustments under agreements already in place will be capped at 3.0%. Under certain of our agreements with Delek Holdings and third parties, the fees that are subject to adjustments using the consumer price index increased 17.6% and the fees that are subject to adjustments using the producer price index increased approximately 18.9%. These adjustments allow us to maintain compliance with FERC regulations as well as to ensure that our results are reflective of current market conditions.

Management's Discussion and Analysis

Segment Overview


Gathering and Processing

The operational assets in our gathering and processing segment, consist of assets acquired in connection with the Midland Gathering Assets Acquisition, including approximately 200 miles of gathering assets, approximately 65 tank battery connections, terminals with total storage capacity of approximately 650,000 barrels and applicable rights-of-way assets, as well as operational assets we acquired in connection with the Delaware Gathering Acquisition, consist of approximately 485 miles of pipelines, 88 million cubic feet ("MMCf") per day ("MMCf/d") of cryogenic natural gas processing capacity, 140 thousand barrels ("MBbl") per day ("MBbl/d") of crude gathering capacity, 120 MBbl of crude storage capacity and 200 MBbl/d of water disposal capacity located primarily in the Delaware Basin (“Delaware Gathering Assets”). The Midland Gathering Assets support our crude oil gathering activities which primarily serves Delek Holdings refining needs throughout the Permian Basin. The Delaware Gathering Assets support our crude oil and natural gas gathering, processing and transportation businesses, as well as water disposal and recycling operations, located in the Delaware Basin of New Mexico, and serving primarily third-party producers and customers. Finally, our gathering and processing assets are integrated with our pipeline assets, which we use to transport gathered crude oil as well as provide other crude oil, intermediate and refined products transportation in support of Delek Holdings' refining operations in Tyler, Texas, El Dorado, Arkansas and Big Spring, Texas, as well as to certain third parties. In providing these services, we do not take ownership of the refined products or crude oil that we transport. While we do not take ownership of gas that is gathered, we sell the processed gas at a market price which we remit to the producer, net of our fees. Therefore, we are not directly exposed to changes in commodity prices with respect to this operating segment. The combination of these operational assets provides a comprehensive, integrated midstream service offering to producers and customers.


Wholesale Marketing and Terminalling

Our wholesale marketing and terminalling segment provides wholesale marketing and terminalling services to Delek Holdings’ refining operations and to independent third parties from whom we receive fees for marketing, transporting, storing and terminalling refined products and to whom we wholesale market refined products. In providing certain of these services, we take ownership of the products and are therefore exposed to market risks related to the volatility of commodity and refined product prices in our West Texas operations, which depend on many factors, including demand and supply of refined products in the West Texas market, the timing of refined product deliveries and downtime at refineries in the surrounding area.


Storage and Transportation

The operational assets in our storage and transportation segment consist of tanks, offloading facilities, trucks and ancillary assets, which provide crude oil, intermediate and refined products transportation and storage services primarily in support of Delek Holdings' refining operations in Tyler, Texas, El Dorado, Arkansas and Big Spring, Texas. Additionally, the assets in this segment provide crude oil transportation services to certain third parties. In providing these services, we do not take ownership of the products or crude oil that we transport or store. Therefore, we are not directly exposed to changes in commodity prices with respect to this operating segment.


Investments in Pipeline Joint Ventures

The Partnership owns a portion of three joint ventures (accounted for as equity method investments) that have constructed separate crude oil pipeline systems and related ancillary assets primarily in the Permian Basin and Gulf Coast regions and with strategic connections to Cushing, Midland and other key exchange points, which provide crude oil and refined product pipeline transportation to third parties and subsidiaries of Delek Holdings.


Corporate and Other

The corporate and other segment primarily consists of general and administrative expenses not allocated to a reportable segment, interest expense and depreciation and amortization. When applicable, it may also contain operating segments that are not reportable and do not meet the criteria for aggregation with any of our existing reportable segments.

Management's Discussion and Analysis


Strategic Overview

Long-Term Strategic Objectives

The Partnership’s Long-Term Strategic Objectives have been focused on maintaining stable cash flows and to grow the quarterly distributions paid to our unitholders over time. To that end, we have been focused on growing our asset base within our geographic area through acquisitions, project development, joint ventures, enhancing our existing systems and lowering our carbon footprint, as we continue to evaluate ways to provide Delek Holdings with logistics services and look for ways to reduce our reliance on Delek Holdings as our primary customer.

2023 Strategic Focus Areas

In service to these overarching Long-Term Strategic Objectives, as we began 2023, we focused on the following Strategic Focus Areas:

•Generate Stable Cash Flow. Continue to pursue opportunities to provide logistics, marketing and other services to Delek Holdings and third parties pursuant to long-term, fee-based contracts. In new service contracts, endeavor to include minimum volume throughput or other commitments, similar to those included in our current commercial agreements with Delek Holdings.

•Focus on Growing Our Business. Continue to evaluate and pursue opportunities to grow our business through both strategic acquisitions and expansion and construction projects, both internally funded or in combination with potential external partners and through investments in joint ventures. Additionally, where possible, leverage our strong relationship with Delek Holdings to enhance our opportunities to grow our business.

◦Pursue Acquisitions. Pursue strategic acquisitions that both complement our existing assets and provide attractive returns for our unitholders, with a focus on expanding our third-party business. Leverage our current asset base, and our knowledge of the regional markets in which we operate, to target and complete attractive third-party acquisitions, which will enhance our third-party revenues and margin, further diversifying our customer and product mix.

◦Investments in Joint Ventures. Continue to focus on leveraging and, when appropriate, expanding our investments in joint ventures, which have contributed to our initiative to grow our midstream business while increasing our crude oil sourcing flexibility.

•Engage in Mutually Beneficial Transactions with Delek Holdings. Delek Holdings has granted us a right of first offer on certain logistics assets. We intend to review our right to purchase any such assets as they are offered to us under the terms of the right of first offer, from time to time. Delek Holdings is also required, under certain circumstances, to offer us the opportunity to purchase additional logistics assets that Delek Holdings may acquire or construct in the future. Further, continue to evaluate additional growth opportunities through subsequent dropdowns of logistics assets acquired or developed by Delek Holdings, while factoring in associated impact on our capital structure and critically evaluating anticipated return on investment.

•Pursue Attractive Expansion and Construction Opportunities. Continue to evaluate, and when appropriate in the context of our return on investment and risk assessment criteria, pursue organic growth opportunities that complement our existing businesses or that provide attractive returns within or outside our current geographic footprint. Continue to evaluate potential opportunities to make capital investments that will be used to expand our existing asset base through the expansion and construction of new logistics assets to support growth of any of our customers', including Delek Holdings', businesses and from increased third-party activity. These construction projects may be developed either through joint venture relationships or by us acting independently, depending on size and scale.

•Optimize Our Existing Assets and Expand Our Customer Base. Continue seeking to enhance the profitability of our existing assets by adding incremental throughput volumes, improving operating efficiencies and increasing system-wide utilization. Additionally, continue to seek opportunities to further diversify our customer base by increasing third-party throughput volumes running through certain of our existing systems and expanding our existing asset portfolio to service more third-party customers.

•Expand our ESG Consciousness and Lower Our Carbon Footprint. Continue to look for ways to grow our business whilst staying conscious of and minimizing the negative environmental impact, while also seeking opportunities to invest in innovative technologies that will reduce our carbon emissions as we achieve our growth objectives and sustainably improve unitholder returns.

The Partnership has a number of long-term, fee-based commercial agreements with Delek Holdings under which we provide various services, including crude oil gathering, crude oil, intermediate and refined products transportation and storage services, and marketing, terminalling and offloading services to Delek Holdings, and Delek Holdings commits to provide us with minimum monthly throughput volumes of crude oil, intermediate and refined products. Generally, these agreements include minimum quarterly volume, revenue or throughput commitments and have tariffs or fees indexed to inflation-based indices, provided that the tariffs or fees will not be decreased below the initial amount. See our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 1, 2023 for a discussion of our material commercial agreements with Delek Holdings.

How We Evaluate Our Operations

We use a variety of financial and operating metrics to analyze our segment performance. These metrics are significant factors in assessing our operating results and profitability and include:


■volumes (including pipeline throughput and terminal volumes)

■operating and maintenance expenses
■cost of materials and other
■EBITDA and distributable cash flow (as such terms are defined below)
■net income of joint ventures


Volumes

The amount of revenue we generate primarily depends on the volumes of crude oil and refined products that we handle in our pipeline, transportation, terminalling, storage and marketing operations. These volumes are primarily affected by the supply of and demand for crude oil, intermediate and refined products in the markets served directly or indirectly by our assets. Although Delek Holdings has committed to minimum volumes under certain of the commercial agreements, as described above, our results of operations will be impacted by:

•Delek Holdings’ utilization of our assets in excess of its minimum volume commitments;

•our ability to identify and execute acquisitions and organic expansion projects and capture incremental volume increases from Delek Holdings or third parties;

•our ability to increase throughput volumes at our refined products terminals and provide additional ancillary services at those terminals;

•our ability to identify and serve new customers in our marketing and trucking operations; and

•our ability to make connections to third-party facilities and pipelines.


Operating and Maintenance Expenses

We seek to maximize the profitability of our operations by effectively managing operating and maintenance expenses. These expenses include the costs associated with the operation of owned terminals and pipelines and terminalling expenses at third-party locations, excluding depreciation and amortization. These costs primarily include outside services, allocated employee costs, repairs and maintenance costs and energy and utility costs. Operating expenses related to the wholesale business are excluded from cost of sales because they primarily relate to costs associated with selling the products through our wholesale business. These expenses generally remain relatively stable across broad ranges of throughput volumes, but can fluctuate from period to period depending on the mix of activities performed during that period and the timing of said expenses. Additionally, compliance with federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to the protection of the environment, health and safety may require us to incur additional expenditures. We will seek to manage our maintenance expenditures on our pipelines and terminals by scheduling maintenance over time to avoid significant variability in our maintenance expenditures and minimize their impact on our cash flow.


Cost of Materials and Other

These costs include:


(i)all costs of purchased refined products in our wholesale marketing and terminalling segment, as well as additives and related transportation of such products;						(ii)costs associated with the operation of our trucking assets, which primarily include allocated employee costs and other costs related to fuel, truck leases and repairs and maintenance;
(iii)the cost of pipeline capacity leased from any third parties; and						(iv)gains and losses related to our commodity hedging activities.


Financing

The Partnership anticipates paying a cash distribution to its unitholders at a distribution rate of $1.045 per unit for the quarter ended September 30, 2023 ($4.180 per unit on an annualized basis). Our Partnership Agreement requires that the Partnership distribute all of its available cash


26 \|

Management's Discussion and Analysis

(as defined in the Partnership Agreement) to its unitholders quarterly. As a result, the Partnership expects to fund future capital expenditures primarily from operating cash flows, borrowings under our revolving credit facility and any potential future issuances of equity and debt securities. See Note 7 to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion.

How We Evaluate Our Investments in Pipeline Joint Ventures

We make strategic investments in pipeline joint ventures generally when it provides an economic benefit in terms of pipeline access we can use for our existing or future customers and when we expect a rate of return that meets our internal investment criteria. Our existing investments in pipeline joint ventures all provide a combination of strategic benefit and return on investment. The strategic benefit for each is described below:

•The RIO Pipeline is positioned in the Delaware Basin and benefits from drilling activity in the area, while also offering producers and shippers connections to Midland, Texas takeaway pipelines;

•The Caddo Pipeline provides crude oil logistics connectivity for shippers from Longview, Texas area to Shreveport, Louisiana area; and

•The Red River Pipeline provides crude oil transportation and optionality from Cushing, Oklahoma to Longview, Texas area and connectivity to our Caddo JV along with the Partnership's Paline pipeline for access to Gulf Coast markets. It also has additional expansion optionality.

Market Trends

Fluctuations in crude oil, natural gas and NGL prices and the prices of related refined and other hydrocarbon products impact operations in the midstream energy sector. For example, the prices of each of these products have the ability to influence drilling activity in many basins and the amounts of capital spending that crude oil exploration and production companies incur to support future growth. Exploration and production activities have a direct impact on volumes transported through our gathering assets in the geologic basins in which we operate. Additionally, the demand for hydrocarbon-based refined products and related crack spreads significantly impact production decisions of our refining customers and likewise throughputs on our pipelines and other logistics assets. Finally, fluctuations in demand and commodity prices for refined products, as well as the value attributable to RINs, directly impacts our wholesale marketing operations, where we are subject to short-term commodity price fluctuations at the rack.

Most of the logistics services we provide (including transportation, gathering and processing services) are subject to long-term fee-based contracts with minimum volume commitments or long-term dedicated acreage agreements which mitigate most of our short-term financial risk to price and demand volatility. However, sustained depressed demand/prices over the longer term could not only curb exploration and production expansion opportunities under our agreements, it could also impact our customers' willingness or ability to renew commercial agreements or result in liquidity or credit constraints that could impact our longer term relationship with them. That said, our recent expansion of our gas processing capabilities have improved both our customer and geographic diversification which lowers concentration risk in those areas, in addition to adding service offerings to our portfolio. Furthermore, our dedicated acreage agreements provide significant growth opportunities in strong economic conditions (e.g., high demand/high commodity prices) without incremental customer acquisition cost. Given all of these factors, we believe that we continue to be strategically positioned, even in tougher market conditions, to sustain positive operating results and cash flows and to continue developing profitable growth projects that are needed to support future distribution growth.

Non-GAAP Measures

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 Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"). These financial and operational non-GAAP measures 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 in our accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income.						•Distributable cash flow - calculated as net cash flow from operating activities plus or minus changes in assets and liabilities, less maintenance capital expenditures net of reimbursements and other adjustments not expected to settle in cash. The Partnership believes this is an appropriate reflection of a liquidity measure by which users of its financial statements can assess its ability to generate cash.

EBITDA and distributable cash flow 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:

•our 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, financing methods;

•the ability of our assets to generate sufficient cash flow to make distributions to our unitholders;

•our 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 EBITDA and distributable cash flow provide information useful to investors in assessing our financial condition and results of operations. EBITDA and distributable cash flow 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 GAAP. EBITDA and distributable cash flow have important limitations as analytical tools, because they exclude some, but not all, items that affect net income and net cash provided by operating activities. Additionally, because EBITDA and distributable cash flow may be defined differently by other partnerships in our industry, our definitions of EBITDA and distributable cash flow may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other partnerships, thereby diminishing their utility. See below for a reconciliation of EBITDA and distributable cash flow to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

We report operating results in four reportable segments:

•Gathering and Processing

•Wholesale Marketing and Terminalling

•Storage and Transportation

•Investments in Pipeline Joint Ventures

Decisions concerning the allocation of resources and assessment of operating performance are made based on this segmentation. Management measures the operating performance of each of its reportable segments based on the segment EBITDA.

Effective in the fourth quarter 2022, we revised our reportable segments. The new reportable segments consist of Gathering and Processing, Wholesale Marketing and Terminalling, Storage and Transportation, and Investments in Pipeline Joint Ventures. The primary change in our segmentation as compared to prior presentations is that, now that we have substantially expanded our gathering activities, certain legacy gathering activities and operations are now managed as part of the Gathering and Processing segment. Additionally, we are also now segregating out certain non-segment specific costs and expenses and, when applicable, immaterial operating segments that may not fit into our existing reportable segments as Corporate and Other activities.

Management's Discussion and Analysis

Operating Segments

We review operating results in four reportable segments: (i) gathering and processing; (ii) wholesale marketing and terminalling; (iii) storage and transportation; and (iv) investments in pipeline joint ventures. Decisions concerning the allocation of resources and assessment of operating performance are made based on this segmentation. Management measures the operating performance of each reportable segment based on the segment EBITDA, except for the investments in pipeline joint ventures segment, which is measured based on net income. Segment reporting is discussed in more detail in Note 9 to our accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

Gathering and Processing Segment

Our gathering and processing segment assets provide crude oil gathering services to Delek Holdings and third parties. These assets include:

•the pipeline assets used to support Delek Holdings' El Dorado refinery (the "El Dorado Assets")

•the gathering system that supports transportation of crude oil to the El Dorado Refinery (the "El Dorado Gathering System")

•the Paline Pipeline System

•the East Texas Crude Logistics System

•the Tyler-Big Sandy Pipeline

•the Greenville-Mount Pleasant Pipeline

•refined product pipeline capacity leased from Enterprise TE Products Pipeline Company ("Enterprise") that runs from El Dorado, Arkansas to our Memphis terminal and the Big Spring Pipeline

Investments in Pipeline Joint Ventures Segment

The Investments in Pipeline Joint Ventures segment relates to strategic Joint Venture investments, accounted for as equity method investments, to support the Delek Holdings operations in terms of offering connection to takeaway pipelines, alternative crude supply sources and flow of high quality crude oil to the Delek Holdings refining system. As a result, Delek Holdings is a major shipper and customer on certain of the Joint Venture pipelines, with minimum volume commitment ("MVC") agreements, which cushion the Joint Venture entities during periods of low activity. The other Joint Venture owners are usually major shippers on the pipelines resulting in a majority of the revenue of the Joint Venture entities coming from MVC agreements with related entities.

Investments in pipeline joint ventures segment include the Partnership's joint ventures investments described in Note 8 to our accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

Refer to Consolidated Results of Operations above for details and discussion of the investments in pipeline joint ventures segment for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Sources of Capital

We consider the following when assessing our liquidity and capital resources:


(i) cash generated from operations;			(iv) potential issuance of additional debt securities; and
(ii) borrowings under our revolving credit facility;			(v) potential sale of assets.
(iii) potential issuance of additional equity;

At September 30, 2023 our total liquidity amounted to $93.2 million comprised of $89.0 million in unused credit commitments under the DKL Credit Facility and $4.2 million in cash and cash equivalents. We have the ability to increase the DKL Credit Facility to $1.0 billion subject to receiving increased or new commitments from lenders and meeting certain requirements under the credit facility. Historically, we have generated adequate cash from operations to fund ongoing working capital requirements, pay quarterly cash distributions and operational capital expenditures, and we expect the same to continue in the foreseeable future. Other funding sources, including the issuance of additional debt securities, have been utilized to fund growth capital projects such as dropdowns and other acquisitions. In addition, we have historically been able to source funding at rates that reflect market conditions, our financial position and our credit ratings. We continue to monitor market conditions, our financial position and our credit ratings and expect future funding sources to be at rates that are sustainable and profitable for the Partnership. However, there can be no assurances regarding the availability of any future financings or additional credit facilities or whether such financings or additional credit facilities can be made available on terms that are acceptable to us.

We believe we have sufficient financial resources from the above sources to meet our funding requirements in the next 12 months, including working capital requirements, quarterly cash distributions and capital expenditures. Nevertheless, our ability to satisfy working capital requirements, to service our debt obligations, to fund planned capital expenditures, or to pay distributions will depend upon future operating performance, which will be affected by prevailing economic conditions in the oil industry and other financial and business factors, including crude oil prices, some of which are beyond our control.

If market conditions were to change, for instance due to the uncertainty created by the Russia-Ukraine War, and our revenue was reduced significantly or operating costs were to increase significantly, our cash flows and liquidity could be unfavorably impacted.

We continuously review our liquidity and capital resources. If market conditions were to change, for instance due to a significant decline in crude oil prices, and our revenue was reduced significantly or operating costs were to increase significantly, our cash flows and liquidity could be reduced. Additionally, it could cause the rating agencies to lower our credit ratings. There are no ratings triggers that would accelerate the maturity of any borrowings under our debt agreements. Such actions include seeking alternative financing solutions and enacting cost reduction measures. Refer to the Business Overview section of this MD&A for a complete discussion of the uncertainties identified by management and the actions taken to respond to these uncertainties.

We believe we were in compliance with the covenants in all our debt facilities as of September 30, 2023. See Note 6 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for a complete discussion of our third-party indebtedness.

Cash Distributions

On October 25, 2023, the board of directors of our general partner declared a distribution of $1.045 per common unit (the "Distribution"), which equates to approximately $45,558 per quarter, or approximately $182.2 million per year, based on the number of common units outstanding as of November 6, 2023. The Distribution will be paid on November 13, 2023 to common unitholders of record on November 6, 2023 and represents a 5.6% increase over the third quarter 2022 distribution. This increase in the distribution is consistent with our intent to maintain an attractive distribution growth profile over the long term. Although our Partnership Agreement requires that we distribute all of our available cash each quarter, we do not otherwise have a legal obligation to distribute any particular amount per common unit.

Cash Flows

The following table sets forth a summary of our consolidated cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 (in thousands):


	Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2023		2022
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	110,630	$	297,482
Net cash used in investing activities	(55,634)		(705,087)
Net cash (used in) provided by financing activities	(58,784)		418,258
Net (decrease) increase in cash and cash equivalents	$	(3,788)	$	10,653

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities decreased by $186.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The cash receipts from customer activities increased by $29.4 million and cash payments to suppliers and for allocations to Delek Holdings for salaries increased by $165.8 million. In addition, cash dividends received from equity method investments increased by $1.2 million and cash paid for debt interest increased by $51.6 million.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities decreased by $649.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022, primarily due to the Delaware Gathering Acquisition, effective June 1, 2022, which was partially financed through borrowings under the DKL Credit Facility amounting to $625.4 million. There were no acquisitions during the nine months ended September 30, 2023. In addition, there was a $2.1 million decrease in purchases of intangibles, $18.3 million decrease in purchases of property, plant and equipment primarily associated with growth projects in our gathering and processing segment, and a $2.7 million increase in distributions from equity method investments.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities decreased by $477.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022. This decrease was primarily driven by net borrowings under the revolving credit facility which decreased by $458.2 million, primarily associated with financing of the Delaware Gathering Acquisition in the prior year. Also contributing to the decrease was an increase in net payments on the term loan of $11.3 million and a $6.3 million increase in cash distributions paid.

Debt Overview

As of September 30, 2023, we had total indebtedness of $1,750.0 million. The increase of $79.5 million in our long-term debt balance compared to the balance at December 31, 2022 resulted from the borrowings under the DKL Credit Facility during the nine months ended September 30, 2023. As of September 30, 2023, our total indebtedness consisted of:

•An aggregate principal amount of $811.2 million under the DKL Revolving Facility ("revolving credit facility"), due on October 13, 2027 (which will accelerate to 180 days prior to the stated maturity date of the Delek Logistics 2025 Notes if any of the Delek Logistics 2025 Notes remain outstanding on that date), with an average borrowing rate of 8.45%, which was amended and restated on October 13, 2022.

•An aggregate principal amount of $288.8 million, under the DKL Term Facility, due on April 15, 2025, with an average borrowing rate of 8.92%.

•An aggregate principal amount of $250.0 million, under the 2025 Notes (6.75% senior notes), due in 2025, with an effective interest rate of 7.18%.

•An aggregate principal amount of $400.0 million, under the 2028 Notes (7.125% senior notes), due in 2028, with an effective interest rate of 7.39%.


44 \|

Management's Discussion and Analysis

On November 6, 2023, the Partnership entered into a First Amendment, a Second Amendment and a Third Amendment to the Delek Logistics Credit Facility (together, the “Amendments”). The Amendments, (i) increased the DKL Revolving Credit Facility's Revolving Credit Commitments (as defined in the Delek Logistics Credit Facility) by an amount equal to $150.0 million to provide for an aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments amount of $1.050 billion, (ii) increased Delek Logistics' ability to incur certain indebtedness and (iii) extended the DKL Term Loan maturity date from October 13, 2024, to the earlier of (i) April 15, 2025, and (ii) six months prior to the earliest maturity date of any outstanding Permitted Note Indebtedness (as defined in the DKL Credit Facility).

We believe we were in compliance with the covenants in all debt facilities as of September 30, 2023. See Note 6 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for a complete discussion of our third-party indebtedness.

Agreements Governing Certain Indebtedness of Delek Holdings

Delek Holdings' level of indebtedness, the terms of its borrowings and any future credit ratings could adversely affect our ability to grow our business, our ability to make cash distributions to our unitholders and our credit profile. Our current and future credit ratings may also be affected by Delek Holdings' level of indebtedness, financial performance and credit ratings.

Capital Spending

A key component of our long-term strategy is our capital expenditure program, which includes strategic consideration and planning for the timing and extent of regulatory maintenance, sustaining maintenance, and growth capital projects. These categories are described below:

•Regulatory maintenance projects in the gathering and processing segment are those expenditures expected to be spent on certain of our pipelines to maintain their operational integrity pursuant to applicable environmental and other regulatory requirements. Regulatory projects in the wholesale marketing and terminalling segment relates to scheduled maintenance and improvements on our terminalling tanks and racks at certain of our terminals in order to maintain environmental and other regulatory compliance. These expenditures have historically been and will continue to be financed through cash generated from operations.

•Sustaining capital expenditures represent capitalizable expenditures for the addition or improvement to, or the replacement of, our capital assets, and for the acquisition of existing, or the construction or development of new, capital assets made to maintain our long-term operating income or operating capacity. Examples of sustaining capital expenditures are expenditures for the repair, refurbishment and replacement of pipelines, tanks and terminals, to maintain equipment reliability, integrity and safety and to maintain compliance with environmental laws and regulations. Delek Holdings has agreed to reimburse us with respect to certain assets it has transferred to us pursuant to the terms of the Omnibus Agreement (as defined in Note 4 to our accompanying consolidated financial statements). When not provided for under reimbursement agreements, such activities are generally funded by cash generated from operations.

•Growth projects include those projects that do not fall into one of the two categories above, and could include committed expansion projects under contracts with customers as well as other incremental growth projects, but are generally expected to produce incremental cash flows in accordance with our internal return on invested capital policy. Depending on the magnitude, funding for such projects may include cash generated from operations, borrowings under existing credit facilities, or issuances of additional debt or equity securities.


45 \|

Management's Discussion and Analysis

The following table summarizes our actual capital expenditures, including any material capital expenditure payments made or forecasted to be made in advance of receipt of goods and materials, for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and planned capital expenditures for the full year 2023 by segment and by major category:


(in thousands)	Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023
Gathering and Processing
Regulatory	$	31
Sustaining	980
Growth	61,157
Gathering and Processing Segment Total	$	62,168
Wholesale Marketing and Terminalling
Regulatory	$	371
Sustaining	754
Growth	1,402
Wholesale Marketing and Terminalling Segment Total	$	2,527
Storage and Transportation
Regulatory	$	1,670
Sustaining	2,263
Growth	—
Storage and Transportation Segment Total	$	3,933
Total Capital Spending	$	68,628

The capital expenditure 2023 full year forecast is expected to be between $85.0 million to $90.0 million. In addtion, we expect to receive up to $10.0 million of other proceeds in 2023 that are not reflected in the full year forecast.

The amount of our capital expenditure forecast is subject to change due to unanticipated increases in the cost, scope and completion time for our capital projects. For example, we may experience increases in the cost of and/or timing to obtain necessary equipment required for our continued compliance with government regulations or to complete improvement projects. Additionally, the scope and cost of employee or contractor labor expense related to installation of that equipment could increase from our projections.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements through the date of the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Impact of Changing Prices

Our revenues and cash flows, as well as estimates of future cash flows, are sensitive to changes in commodity prices. Shifts in the cost of crude oil, natural gas, NGLs, refined products and ethanol and related selling prices of these products can generate changes in our operating margins.

Interest Rate Risk

Debt that we incur under the DKL Credit Facility bears interest at floating rates and will expose us to interest rate risk. The outstanding floating rate borrowings totaled approximately $1,100.0 million as of September 30, 2023. The annualized impact of a hypothetical one percent change in interest rates on our floating rate debt outstanding as of September 30, 2023 would be to change interest expense by approximately $11.0 million.

Inflation

Inflationary factors, such as increases in the costs of our inputs, operating expenses, and interest rates may adversely affect our operating results. In addition, current or future governmental policies may increase or decrease the risk of inflation, which could further increase costs and may have an adverse effect on our ability to maintain current levels of gross margin and operating expenses as a percentage of sales if the prices at which we are able to sell our products and services do not increase in line with increases in costs.

Management's Discussion and Analysis

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information that we are required to disclose in reports we file under the Exchange Act is accumulated and appropriately communicated to management. We carried out an evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(b) of the Exchange Act, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Principal Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures at the end of the reporting period. Based on that evaluation, the Principal Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the reporting period.

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the third quarter of 2023 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
