NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Tabular dollar and unit amounts, except per unit data, are in millions)

(unaudited)

1.ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Organization

The consolidated financial statements presented herein contain the results of Energy Transfer LP and its subsidiaries (the “Partnership,” “we,” “us,” “our” or “Energy Transfer”).

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited financial information included in this Form 10-Q has been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Partnership’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the SEC on February 18, 2022. In the opinion of the Partnership’s management, such financial information reflects all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and the results of operations for such interim periods in accordance with GAAP. All intercompany items and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain information and disclosures normally included in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC.

The consolidated financial statements of the Partnership presented herein include the results of operations of our controlled subsidiaries, including Sunoco LP and USAC. The Partnership owns the general partner interest, incentive distribution rights and 28.5 million common units of Sunoco LP, and the general partner interests and 46.1 million common units of USAC.

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on net income or total equity.

Use of Estimates

The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with GAAP, which requires the use of estimates and assumptions made by management that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and the accrual for and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities that exist at the date of the consolidated financial statements. Although these estimates are based on management’s available knowledge of current and expected future events, actual results could be different from those estimates.

2.ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURE TRANSACTIONS

Woodford Express Acquisition

On September 13, 2022, Energy Transfer completed the acquisition of 100% of the membership interests in Woodford Express, LLC, which owns a mid-continent gas gathering and processing system, for approximately $485 million in cash consideration. The system, which is located in the heart of the SCOOP play, has 450 MMcf/d of cryogenic gas processing and treating capacity and over 200 miles of gathering lines, which are connected to Energy Transfer’s pipeline network. Woodford Express, LLC repaid an aggregate principal amount of $292 million of its revolving credit facility and term loan on the closing date of the acquisition, which amount is included in the total consideration. The purchase price has primarily been allocated to working capital and property, plant and equipment in the preliminary purchase price allocation reflected in the Partnership’s consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2022.

Energy Transfer Canada Sale

In August 2022, the Partnership completed the previously announced sale of its 51% interest in Energy Transfer Canada. The sale resulted in cash proceeds to Energy Transfer of C$390 million (US$302 million).

Energy Transfer Canada’s assets and operations were included in the Partnership’s all other segment until August 2022. Energy Transfer Canada did not meet the criteria to be reflected as discontinued operations in the Partnership’s consolidated statement of operations. Based on the anticipated proceeds upon signing of the share purchase agreement in February 2022, during the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Partnership recorded a write-down on Energy Transfer Canada’s assets of $300 million, of which $164 million was allocated to noncontrolling interests and $136 million was

reflected in net income attributable to partners. Upon the completion of the sale in August 2022, the Partnership recorded an $85 million loss on deconsolidation.

Spindletop Assets Purchase

In March 2022, the Partnership purchased the membership interests in Caliche Coastal Holdings, LLC (subsequently renamed Energy Transfer Spindletop LLC), which owns an underground storage facility near Mont Belvieu, Texas, for approximately $325 million.

Enable Acquisition

On December 2, 2021, the Partnership completed the acquisition of Enable (the “Enable Acquisition”). As of November 3, 2022, there have been no material changes to the preliminary purchase price allocation disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the SEC on February 18, 2022.

Sunoco LP Acquisition

On April 1, 2022, Sunoco LP completed the acquisition of a transmix processing and terminal facility in Huntington, Indiana for $252 million, net of cash acquired, of which $98 million was allocated to intangible assets, $20 million to goodwill, $73 million to property, plant and equipment and $76 million to working capital.

3.CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

Cash and cash equivalents include all cash on hand, demand deposits and investments with original maturities of three months or less. We consider cash equivalents to include short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and that are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. The Partnership’s consolidated balance sheets did not include any material amounts of restricted cash as of September 30, 2022 or December 31, 2021.

We place our cash deposits and temporary cash investments with high credit quality financial institutions. At times, our cash and cash equivalents may be uninsured or in deposit accounts that exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limit.

5.FAIR VALUE MEASURES

We have commodity derivatives and interest rate derivatives that are accounted for as assets and liabilities at fair value in our consolidated balance sheets. We determine the fair value of our assets and liabilities subject to fair value measurement by using the highest possible “level” of inputs. Level 1 inputs are observable quotes in an active market for identical assets and liabilities. We consider the valuation of marketable securities and commodity derivatives transacted through a clearing broker with a published price from the appropriate exchange as a Level 1 valuation. Level 2 inputs are inputs observable for similar assets and liabilities. We consider OTC commodity derivatives entered into directly with third parties as a Level 2 valuation since the values of these derivatives are quoted on an exchange for similar transactions. Additionally, we consider options transacted through a clearing broker as having Level 2 inputs due to the level of activity of these contracts on the exchange in which they trade. The valuation methodologies employed for our interest rate derivatives do not necessitate material judgment, and the inputs are observed from actively quoted public markets and therefore are categorized in Level 2. Level 3 inputs are unobservable. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, no transfers were made between any levels within the fair value hierarchy.

10.REGULATORY MATTERS, COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES AND ENVIRONMENTAL LIABILITIES

Winter Storm Impacts

Winter Storm Uri, which occurred in February 2021, resulted in one-time impacts to the Partnership’s consolidated net income and also affected the results of operations in certain segments. The recognition of the impacts of Winter Storm Uri during 2021 required management to make certain estimates and assumptions, including estimates of expected credit losses and assumptions related to the resolution of disputes with counterparties with respect to certain purchases and sales of natural gas. The ultimate realization of credit losses and the resolution of disputed purchases and sales of natural gas could materially impact the Partnership’s financial condition and results of operations in future periods.

FERC Proceedings

Rover – FERC - Stoneman House

In late 2016, FERC Enforcement Staff began a non-public investigation related to Rover’s purchase and removal of a potentially historic home (known as the Stoneman House) while Rover’s application for permission to construct the new 711-mile interstate natural gas pipeline and related facilities was pending. On March 18, 2021, FERC issued an Order to Show Cause and Notice of Proposed Penalty (Docket No. IN19-4-000), ordering Rover to explain why it should not pay a $20 million civil penalty for alleged violations of FERC regulations requiring certificate holders to be forthright in their submissions of information to the FERC. Rover filed its answer and denial to the order on June 21, 2021 and a surreply on September 15, 2021. FERC issued an order on January 20, 2022 setting the matter for hearing before an administrative law judge. The hearing was set to commence on March 6, 2023.

On February 1, 2022, Energy Transfer and Rover filed a Complaint for Declaratory Relief in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas seeking an order declaring that FERC must bring its enforcement action in federal district court (instead of before an administrative law judge). Also on February 1, 2022, Energy Transfer and Rover filed an expedited request to stay the proceedings before the FERC administrative law judge pending the outcome of the federal district court case. On May 24, 2022, the District Court ordered a stay of the FERC’s enforcement case and the District Court case pending the resolution of two cases pending before the United States Supreme Court, which are slated for argument on November 7, 2022, with decisions unlikely until 2023. Energy Transfer and Rover intend to vigorously defend this claim.

Rover – FERC - Tuscarawas

In mid-2017, FERC Enforcement Staff began a non-public investigation regarding allegations that diesel fuel may have been included in the drilling mud at the Tuscarawas River horizontal directional drilling (“HDD”) operations. Rover and the Partnership are cooperating with the investigation. In 2019, Enforcement Staff provided Rover with a notice pursuant to Section 1b.19 of the FERC regulations that Enforcement Staff intended to recommend that the FERC pursue an enforcement action against Rover and the Partnership. On December 16, 2021, FERC issued an Order to Show Cause and Notice of Proposed Penalty (Docket No. IN17-4-000), ordering Rover and Energy Transfer to show cause why they should not be found to have violated Section 7(e) of the Natural Gas Act, Section 157.20 of FERC’s regulations, and the Rover Pipeline Certificate Order, and assessed civil penalties of $40 million.

Rover and Energy Transfer filed their answer to this order on March 21, 2022, and Enforcement Staff filed a reply on April 20, 2022. Rover and Energy Transfer filed their surreply to this order on May 13, 2022. The primary contractor (and one of

the subcontractors) responsible for the HDD operations of the Tuscarawas River site have agreed to indemnify Rover and the Partnership for any and all losses, including any fines and penalties from government agencies, resulting from their actions in conducting such HDD operations. Given the stage of the proceedings, the Partnership is unable at this time to provide an assessment of the potential outcome or range of potential liability, if any; however, the Partnership believes the indemnity described above will be applicable to the penalty proposed by Enforcement Staff and intends to vigorously defend itself against the subject claims.

Transwestern - FERC

On July 1, 2022, Transwestern filed a rate case pursuant to Section 4 of the Natural Gas Act. By order dated September 9, 2022, a procedural schedule was adopted in this proceeding, setting the commencement of the hearing for June 22, 2023.

Other FERC Proceedings

By an order issued January 16, 2019, the FERC initiated a review of Panhandle’s existing rates pursuant to Section 5 of the NGA to determine whether the rates currently charged by Panhandle are just and reasonable and set the matter for hearing. On August 30, 2019, Panhandle filed a general rate proceeding under Section 4 of the NGA. The Natural Gas Act Section 5 and Section 4 proceedings were consolidated by order of the Chief Judge on October 1, 2019. The initial decision by the administrative law judge was issued on March 26, 2021. On April 26, 2021, Panhandle filed its brief on exceptions to the initial decision. On May 17, 2021, Panhandle filed its brief opposing exceptions in this proceeding. This matter remains pending before the FERC.

In May 2021, the FERC commenced an audit of SPLP for the period from January 1, 2018 to present to evaluate SPLP’s compliance with its FERC oil tariffs, the accounting requirements of the Uniform System of Accounts as prescribed by the FERC, and the FERC’s Form No. 6 reporting requirements. The audit is ongoing.

IRS Audit

The Partnership’s 2020 U.S. Federal income tax return is currently under examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

Commitments

In the normal course of business, Energy Transfer purchases, processes and sells natural gas pursuant to long-term contracts and enter into long-term transportation and storage agreements. Such contracts contain terms that are customary in the industry. Energy Transfer believes that the terms of these agreements are commercially reasonable and will not have a material adverse effect on the Partnership’s financial position or results of operations.

Our joint venture agreements require that we fund our proportionate share of capital contributions to our unconsolidated affiliates. Such contributions will depend upon the unconsolidated affiliates’ capital requirements, such as for funding capital projects or repayment of long-term obligations.

We have certain non-cancelable rights-of-way (“ROW”) commitments, which require fixed payments and either expire upon our chosen abandonment or at various dates in the future. The table below reflects ROW expense included in operating expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations:

	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2022		2021		2022		2021
ROW expense	$	16	$	18	$	44	$	33

Litigation and Contingencies

We may, from time to time, be involved in litigation and claims arising out of our operations in the normal course of business. Due to the flammable and combustible nature of natural gas and crude oil, the potential exists for personal injury and/or property damage to occur in connection with their transportation, storage or use. In the ordinary course of business, we are sometimes threatened with or named as a defendant in various lawsuits seeking actual and punitive damages for product liability, personal injury and property damage. We maintain liability insurance with insurers in amounts and with coverage and deductibles management believes are reasonable and prudent, and which are generally accepted in the industry. However, there can be no assurance that the levels of insurance protection currently in effect will continue to be available at reasonable prices or that such levels will remain adequate to protect us from material expenses related to product liability, personal injury or property damage in the future.

We or our subsidiaries are parties to various legal proceedings, arbitrations and/or regulatory proceedings incidental to our businesses. For each of these matters, we evaluate the merits of the case, our exposure to the matter, possible legal or settlement strategies, the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome and the availability of insurance coverage. If we determine that an unfavorable outcome of a particular matter is probable and can be estimated, we accrue the contingent obligation, as well as any expected insurance recoverable amounts related to the contingency. As new information becomes available, our estimates may change. The impact of these changes may have a significant effect on our results of operations in a single period.

As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, accruals of approximately $343 million and $144 million, respectively, were reflected on our consolidated balance sheets related to contingent losses that met both the probable and reasonably estimable criteria. In addition, we may recognize additional contingent losses in the future related to (i) contingent matters for which a loss is currently considered reasonably possible but not probable and/or (ii) losses in excess of amounts that have already been accrued for such contingent matters. In some of these cases, we are not able to estimate possible losses or a range of possible losses in excess of amounts accrued. For such matters where additional contingent losses can be reasonably estimated, the range of additional losses is estimated to be up to approximately $750 million.

The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty and there can be no assurance that the outcome of a particular matter will not result in the payment of amounts that have not been accrued for the matter. Furthermore, we may revise accrual amounts or our estimates of reasonably possible losses prior to resolution of a particular contingency based on changes in facts and circumstances or changes in the expected outcome.

The following sections include descriptions of certain matters that could impact the Partnership’s financial position, results of operations and/or cash flows in future periods. The sections below also include updates to certain matters that have previously been disclosed, even if those matters are not anticipated to have a potentially significant impact on future periods. In addition to the matters disclosed below, the Partnership is also involved in multiple other matters that could impact future periods, including other lawsuits and arbitration related to the Partnership’s commercial agreements. With respect to such matters, contingencies that met both the probable and reasonably estimable criteria have been included in the accruals disclosed above, and the range of additional losses disclosed above also reflects any relevant amounts for such matters.

Dakota Access Pipeline

On July 27, 2016, the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe (“SRST”) filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia (“District Court”) challenging permits issued by the United States Army Corps of Engineers (“USACE”) that allowed Dakota Access to cross the Missouri River at Lake Oahe in North Dakota. The case was subsequently amended to challenge an easement issued by the USACE that allowed the pipeline to cross land owned by the USACE adjacent to the Missouri River. Dakota Access and the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe (“CRST”) intervened. Separate lawsuits filed by the Oglala Sioux Tribe (“OST”) and the Yankton Sioux Tribe (“YST”) were consolidated with this action and several individual tribal members intervened (collectively, with SRST and CRST, the “Tribes”). On March 25, 2020, the District Court remanded the case back to the USACE for preparation of an Environment Impact Statement (“EIS”). On July 6, 2020, the District Court vacated the easement and ordered Dakota Access to be shut down and emptied of oil by August 5, 2020. Dakota Access and the USACE appealed to the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia (“Court of Appeals”) which granted an administrative stay of the District Court’s July 6 order and ordered further briefing on whether to fully stay the July 6 order. On August 5, 2020, the Court of Appeals 1) granted a stay of the portion of the District Court order that required Dakota Access to shut the pipeline down and empty it of oil, 2) denied a motion to stay the March 25 order pending a decision on the merits by the Court of Appeals as to whether the USACE would be required to prepare an EIS, and 3) denied a motion to stay the District Court’s order to vacate the easement during this appeal process. The August 5 order also states that the Court of Appeals expected the USACE to clarify its position with respect to whether USACE intended to allow the continued operation of the pipeline notwithstanding the vacatur of the easement and that the District Court may consider additional relief, if necessary.

On August 10, 2020, the District Court ordered the USACE to submit a status report by August 31, 2020, clarifying its position with regard to its decision-making process with respect to the continued operation of the pipeline. On August 31, 2020, the USACE submitted a status report that indicated that it considered the presence of the pipeline at the Lake Oahe crossing without an easement to constitute an encroachment on federal land, and that it was still considering whether to exercise its enforcement discretion regarding this encroachment. The Tribes subsequently filed a motion seeking an injunction to stop the operation of the pipeline and both USACE and Dakota Access filed briefs in opposition of the motion for injunction. The motion for injunction was fully briefed as of January 8, 2021.

Table of Contents

On January 26, 2021, the Court of Appeals affirmed the District Court’s March 25, 2020 order requiring an EIS and its July 6, 2020 order vacating the easement. In this same January 26 order, the Court of Appeals also overturned the District Court’s July 6, 2020 order that the pipeline shut down and be emptied of oil. Dakota Access filed for rehearing en banc on April 12, 2021, which the Court of Appeals denied. On September 20, 2021, Dakota Access filed a petition with the U.S. Supreme Court to hear the case. Oppositions were filed by the Solicitor General (December 17, 2021) and the Tribes (December 16, 2021). Dakota Access filed their reply on January 4, 2022. On February 22, 2022, the U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear the case.

The District Court scheduled a status conference for February 10, 2021 to discuss the effects of the Court of Appeals’ January 26, 2021 order on the pending motion for injunctive relief, as well as USACE’s expectations as to how it will proceed regarding its enforcement discretion regarding the easement. On May 3, 2021, USACE advised the District Court that it had not changed its position with respect to its opposition to the Tribes’ motion for injunction. On May 21, 2021, the District Court denied the plaintiffs’ request for an injunction. On June 22, 2021, the District Court terminated the consolidated lawsuits and dismissed all remaining outstanding counts without prejudice.

The pipeline continues to operate pending completion of the EIS. Energy Transfer anticipates the draft EIS will be completed and published by the USACE in the Spring of 2023, subject to additional delays by the USACE. The release of the draft EIS was paused following the SRST’s withdrawal as a cooperating agency on January 20, 2022. However, the pause has since been lifted and the USACE expects to release the draft EIS in the spring of 2023. Energy Transfer cannot determine when or how future lawsuits will be resolved or the impact they may have on the Dakota Access pipelines; however, Energy Transfer expects after the law and complete record are fully considered, any such proceeding will be resolved in a manner that will allow the pipeline to continue to operate.

In addition, lawsuits and/or regulatory proceedings or actions of this or a similar nature could result in interruptions to construction or operations of current or future projects, delays in completing those projects and/or increased project costs, all of which could have an adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

Mont Belvieu Incident

On June 26, 2016, a hydrocarbon storage well located on another operator’s facility adjacent to Lone Star NGL Mont Belvieu LP’s (“Lone Star”), now known as Energy Transfer Mont Belvieu NGLs LP, facilities in Mont Belvieu, Texas experienced an over-pressurization resulting in a subsurface release. The subsurface release caused a fire at Lone Star’s South Terminal and damage to Lone Star’s storage well operations at its South and North Terminals. Normal operations resumed at the facilities in the fall of 2016, with the exception of one of Lone Star’s storage wells at the North Terminal that has not been returned to service. Lone Star has obtained payment for most of the losses it has submitted to the adjacent operator. Lone Star continues to quantify and seek reimbursement for outstanding losses.

MTBE Litigation

ETC Sunoco and Energy Transfer R&M (collectively, “Sunoco Defendants”) are defendants in lawsuits alleging MTBE contamination of groundwater. The plaintiffs, state-level governmental entities, assert product liability, nuisance, trespass, negligence, violation of environmental laws, and/or deceptive business practices claims. The plaintiffs seek to recover compensatory damages, and in some cases also seek natural resource damages, injunctive relief, punitive damages, and attorneys’ fees.

As of September 30, 2022, Sunoco Defendants are defendants in four cases, including one case initiated by the State of Maryland, one by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and two by the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. The more recent Puerto Rico action is a companion case alleging damages for additional sites beyond those at issue in the initial Puerto Rico action. The actions brought by the State of Maryland and Commonwealth of Pennsylvania have also named as defendants ETO, ETP Holdco, and Sunoco Partners Marketing & Terminals L.P., now known as Energy Transfer Marketing & Terminals L.P.

It is reasonably possible that a loss may be realized in the remaining cases; however, we are unable to estimate the possible loss or range of loss in excess of amounts accrued. An adverse determination with respect to one or more of the MTBE cases could have a significant impact on results of operations during the period in which any such adverse determination occurs, but such an adverse determination likely would not have a material adverse effect on the Partnership’s consolidated financial position.

Litigation Filed By or Against Williams

In April and May 2016, The William Companies, Inc. (“Williams”) filed two lawsuits (the “Williams Litigation”) against Energy Transfer, LE GP, LLC, and, in one of the lawsuits, Energy Transfer Corp LP, ETE Corp GP, LLC, and Energy Transfer Equity GP, LLC (collectively, “Energy Transfer Defendants”), alleging that Energy Transfer Defendants breached their obligations under the Energy Transfer-Williams merger agreement (the “Merger Agreement”). In general, Williams alleges that Energy Transfer Defendants breached the Merger Agreement by (a) failing to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain from Latham & Watkins LLP (“Latham”) the delivery of a tax opinion concerning Section 721 of the Internal Revenue Code (“721 Opinion”), (b) issuing the Partnership’s Series A convertible preferred units (the “Issuance”), and (c) making allegedly untrue representations and warranties in the Merger Agreement.

After a two-day trial on June 20 and 21, 2016, the Court ruled in favor of Energy Transfer Defendants and issued a declaratory judgment that Energy Transfer could terminate the merger after June 28, 2016 because of Latham’s inability to provide the required 721 Opinion. The Court did not reach a decision regarding Williams’ claims related to the Issuance nor certain of the alleged untrue representations and warranties. On March 23, 2017, the Delaware Supreme Court affirmed the Court’s ruling on the June 2016 trial. In September 2016, the parties filed amended pleadings. Williams filed an amended complaint seeking a $410 million termination fee (the “Termination Fee”) based on the alleged breaches of the Merger Agreement listed above. Energy Transfer Defendants filed amended counterclaims and affirmative defenses, asserting that Williams materially breached the Merger Agreement by, among other things, (a) failing to use its reasonable best efforts to consummate the merger, (b) failing to provide material information to Energy Transfer for inclusion in the Form S-4 related to the merger, (c) failing to facilitate the financing of the merger, and (d) breaching the Merger Agreement’s forum-selection clause.

Trial was held regarding the parties’ amended claims on May 10-17, 2021, and on December 29, 2021, the Court ruled in favor of Williams and awarded it the Termination Fee plus certain fees and expenses, holding that the Issuance breached the Merger Agreement and that Williams had not materially breached the Merger Agreement, though the Court awarded sanctions against Williams due to its CEO’s intentional spoliation of evidence. The Court subsequently awarded Williams approximately $190 million in attorneys’ fees, expenses and pre-judgment interest.

On September 21, 2022, the Court entered a final judgment against the Energy Transfer Defendants in the amount of approximately $601 million plus post-judgment interest at a rate of 3.5% per year. The Energy Transfer Defendants filed the notice of appeal of this matter on October 21, 2022.

Rover - State of Ohio

On November 3, 2017, the State of Ohio and the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency (together “the Ohio EPA”) filed suit against Rover and five other defendants seeking to recover civil penalties allegedly owed and certain injunctive relief related to permit compliance. The defendants filed several motions to dismiss, which were granted on all counts. The Ohio EPA appealed, and on December 9, 2019, the Fifth District Court of Appeals entered a unanimous judgment affirming the trial court. The Ohio EPA sought review from the Ohio Supreme Court, which the defendants opposed in briefs filed in February 2020. On April 22, 2020, the Ohio Supreme Court granted the Ohio EPA’s request for review. On March 17, 2022, the Ohio Supreme Court reversed in part and remanded to the Ohio trial court. The Ohio Supreme Court agreed with Rover that the State of Ohio had waived its rights under Section 401 of the Clean Water Act but remanded to the trial court to determine whether any of the allegations fell outside the scope of the waiver.

On remand, the Ohio EPA voluntarily dismissed four of the other five defendants and dismissed one if its counts against Rover. In its Fourth Amended Complaint, the Ohio EPA removed all paragraphs that alleged violations by the four dismissed defendants, including those where the dismissed defendants were alleged to have acted jointly with Rover or others. At a June 2, 2022, status conference, the trial judge set a schedule for Rover and the other remaining defendant to file motions to dismiss the Fourth Amended Complaint. On August 1, 2022, Rover and the other remaining defendant each filed their respective motions. On October 2, 2022, the State of Ohio filed its Reply. Replies are due on November 4, 2022.

Revolution

On September 10, 2018, a pipeline release and fire (the “Incident”) occurred on the Revolution pipeline, a natural gas gathering line located in Center Township, Beaver County, Pennsylvania. There were no injuries.

The Pennsylvania Office of Attorney General (“PA AG”) commenced an investigation regarding the Incident, and the United States Attorney for the Western District of Pennsylvania issued a federal grand jury subpoena for documents relevant to the Incident.

25

Table of Contents

On February 2, 2022, the PA AG issued a press release related to the Revolution pipeline, and released a Grand Jury Presentment and filed a criminal complaint against ETC Northeast Pipeline, LLC in Magisterial District Court No. 12-2-02 in Dauphin County, Pennsylvania, with respect to nine misdemeanor charges related to various alleged violations of the Clean Streams Law associated with the construction of the Revolution pipeline.

On August 5, 2022, the PA AG held a press conference to announce that the matter had been resolved through an agreement whereby ETC Northeast Pipeline, LLC entered a plea of no contest to all charges. The resolution also included terms that the company would pay a $22,500 fine to the Clean Water Fund at the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, and jointly with SPLP to pay certain funds to support water quality improvement projects (see below). The plea agreement was entered by court on August 12, 2022, and the matter is now closed.

Chester County, Pennsylvania Investigation

In December 2018, the former Chester County District Attorney (the “Chester County DA”) sent a letter to the Partnership stating that his office was investigating the Partnership and related entities for “potential crimes” related to the Mariner East pipelines.

Subsequently, the matter was submitted to an Investigating Grand Jury in Chester County, Pennsylvania, which has issued subpoenas seeking documents and testimony. On September 24, 2019, the Chester County DA sent a Notice of Intent to the Partnership of its intent to pursue an abatement action if certain conditions were not remediated. The Partnership responded to the Notice of Intent within the prescribed time period.

In December 2019, the Chester County DA announced charges against a current employee related to the provision of security services. On June 25, 2020, a preliminary hearing was held on the charges against the employee, and the judge dismissed all charges.

On April 22, 2021, the Chester County DA filed a Complaint and Consent Decree in the Court of Common Pleas of Chester County, Pennsylvania constituting a settlement agreement between the Chester County DA and the Partnership. A status conference was held on May 10, 2021, and an Amended Consent Decree was filed on June 16, 2021, which was approved and entered by the Court on December 20, 2021. In accordance with the terms of the Amended Consent Decree, when the Mariner East 2/Mariner East 2X pipelines reached the point of mechanical completion in Chester County on March 23, 2022, the Amended Consent Decree terminated, which the Partnership communicated to the Chester County DA via letter on March 29, 2022. A Joint Motion for Termination of the Amended Consent Decree was filed on August 26, 2022.

Delaware County, Pennsylvania Investigation

On March 11, 2019, the Delaware County District Attorney’s Office (the “Delaware County DA”) announced that the Delaware County DA and the PA AG, at the request of the Delaware County DA, are conducting an investigation of alleged criminal misconduct involving the construction and related activities of the Mariner East pipelines in Delaware County. On March 16, 2020, the PA AG served a Statewide Investigating Grand Jury subpoena for documents relating to inadvertent returns and water supplies related to the Mariner East pipelines. The Partnership has complied with the subpoena. On October 5, 2021, the PA AG held a press conference related to the Mariner East pipelines, released a Grand Jury Presentment and subsequently filed a criminal complaint against Energy Transfer in the Magisterial District Court No. 12-2-02 in Dauphin County, Pennsylvania with respect to 47 misdemeanor charges related to the discharge of industrial waste and pollution and one felony charge related to the failure to report information related to the discharges.

On August 5, 2022, the PA AG held a press conference to announce that the matter had been resolved through an agreement whereby SPLP entered a plea of no contest to 14 of the misdemeanor charges, with the remaining charges being dismissed. The resolution also included terms that the company would pay a $35,000 fine to the Clean Water Fund at the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, and jointly with ETC Northeast Pipeline, LLC to resolve a parallel action by the PA AG’s office (see above), would establish a fund of $442,500 to create a Homeowner Well Water Supply Grievance Program and pay $10 million to support water quality improvement projects. The plea agreement was entered by the court on August 12, 2022, and the matter is now closed.

Shareholder Litigation Regarding Pipeline Construction

Various purported unitholders of Energy Transfer have filed derivative actions against various past and current members of Energy Transfer’s Board of Directors, LE GP, LLC, and Energy Transfer, as a nominal defendant that assert claims for breach of fiduciary duties, unjust enrichment, waste of corporate assets, breach of Energy Transfer’s limited partnership agreement, tortious interference, abuse of control, and gross mismanagement related primarily to matters involving the

26

Table of Contents

construction of pipelines in Pennsylvania and Ohio. They also seek damages and changes to Energy Transfer’s corporate governance structure. See Bettiol v. LE GP, Case No. 3:19-cv-02890-X (N.D. Tex.); Davidson v. Kelcy L. Warren, Cause No. DC-20-02322 (44th Judicial District of Dallas County, Texas); Harris v. Kelcy L. Warren, Case No. 2:20-cv-00364-GAM (E.D. Pa.); King v. LE GP, Case No. 3:20-cv-00719-X (N.D. Tex.); Inter-Marketing Group USA, Inc. v. LE GP, et at., Case No. 2022-0139-SG (Del. Ch.); Elliot v. LE GP LLC, Case No. 3:22-cv-01527-B (N.D. Tex.); Chapa v. Kelcy L. Warren, et al., Index No. 611307/2022 (N.Y. Sup. Ct.); Elliott v. LE GP et al, Cause No. DC-22-14194 (Dallas County, Tex.). The King action has been consolidated with the Bettiol action.

Another purported unitholder of Energy Transfer, Allegheny County Employees’ Retirement System (“ACERS”), individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated, filed a suit under the federal securities laws purportedly on behalf of a class, against Energy Transfer and three of Energy Transfer’s directors, Kelcy L. Warren, John W. McReynolds, and Thomas E. Long. See Allegheny County Emps.’ Ret. Sys. v. Energy Transfer LP, Case No. 2:20-00200-GAM (E.D. Pa.). On June 15, 2020, ACERS filed an amended complaint and added as additional defendants Energy Transfer directors Marshall McCrea and Matthew Ramsey, as well as Michael J. Hennigan and Joseph McGinn. The amended complaint asserts claims for violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder related primarily to matters involving the construction of pipelines in Pennsylvania. On August 14, 2020, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss ACERS’ amended complaint. On April 6, 2021, the court granted in part and denied in part the defendants’ motion to dismiss. The court held that ACERS could proceed with its claims regarding certain statements put at issue by the amended complaint while also dismissing claims based on other statements. The court also dismissed without prejudice the claims against defendants McReynolds, McGinn, and Hennigan. Fact discovery is ongoing. On August 23, 2022, the Court granted in part and denied in part ACERS’ motion for class certification. The Court certified a class consisting of those who purchased or otherwise acquired common units of ET between February 25, 2017 and November 11, 2019.

On June 3, 2022, another purported unitholder of Energy Transfer, Mike Vega, filed suit, purportedly on behalf of a class, against Energy Transfer, Energy Transfer’s CFO Brad Whitehurst, and Messrs. Warren, Long, and McCrea. See Vega v. Energy Transfer LP et al., Case No. 1:22-cv-4614 (S.D.N.Y.). The action asserts claims for violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder related primarily to statements made in connection with the construction of the Rover pipeline project.

On August 10, 2022, the Court appointed the New Mexico State Investment Council and Public Employees Retirement Association of New Mexico (the “New Mexico Funds”) as lead plaintiffs. New Mexico Funds filed an amended complaint on September 30, 2022 and added as additional defendants Energy Transfer directors John W. McReynolds and Matthew S. Ramsey.

The defendants cannot predict the outcome of these lawsuits or any lawsuits that might be filed subsequent to the date of this filing; nor can the defendants predict the amount of time and expense that will be required to resolve these lawsuits. However, the defendants believe that the claims are without merit and intend to vigorously contest them.

Cline Class Action

On July 7, 2017, Perry Cline filed a class action complaint in the Eastern District of Oklahoma against Sunoco, Inc. (R&M), LLC (now known as Energy Transfer R&M) and Energy Transfer Marketing & Terminals L.P. (collectively, “ETMT”) that alleged ETMT failed to make timely payments of oil and gas proceeds from Oklahoma wells and to pay statutory interest for those untimely payments. On October 3, 2019, the Court certified a class to include all persons who received untimely payments from Oklahoma wells on or after July 7, 2012, and who have not already been paid statutory interest on the untimely payments (the “Class”). Excluded from the Class are those entitled to payments of proceeds that qualify as “minimum pay,” prior period adjustments, and pass through payments, as well as governmental agencies and publicly traded oil and gas companies.

After a bench trial, on August 17, 2020, Judge John Gibney (sitting from the Eastern District of Virginia) issued an opinion that awarded the Class actual damages of $74.8 million for late payment interest for identified and unidentified royalty owners and interest-on-interest. This amount was later amended to $80.7 million to account for interest accrued from trial (the “Order”). Judge Gibney also awarded punitive damages in the amount of $75 million. The Class is also seeking attorneys’ fees.

On August 27, 2020, ETMT filed its Notice of Appeal with the 10th Circuit and appealed the entirety of the Order. The matter was fully briefed, and oral argument was set for November 15, 2021. However, on November 1, 2021, the 10th Circuit dismissed the appeal due to jurisdictional concerns with finality of the Order. En banc rehearing of this decision was denied on November 29, 2021. On December 1, 2021, ETMT filed a Petition for Writ of Mandamus to the 10th Circuit to correct the jurisdictional problems and secure final judgment. On February 2, 2022, the 10th Circuit denied the Petition

27

Table of Contents

for Writ of Mandamus, citing that there are other avenues for ETMT to obtain adequate relief. On February 10, 2022, ETMT filed a Motion to Modify the Plan of Allocation Order and Issue a Rule 58 Judgment with the trial court, requesting the district court to enter a final judgment in compliance with the Rules. ETMT also filed an injunction with the trial court to enjoin all efforts by plaintiffs to execute on any non-final judgment. On March 31, 2022, Judge Gibney denied the Motion to Modify the Plan of Allocation, reiterating his thoughts that the order constitutes a final judgment. Judge Gibney granted the injunction in part (placing a hold on enforcement efforts for 60 days) and denied the injunction in part. The injunction has since been lifted.

Despite the fact that ETMT has taken the position that the judgment is not final and not subject to execution, the Class is now engaging in asset discovery and is actively trying to collect on the judgment through garnishment proceedings. ETMT filed a request for an emergency stay of execution to the United States Supreme Court, which was denied on September 8, 2022. To stop the garnishment proceedings, on October 11, 2022, ETMT filed an Emergency Motion for Leave to Deposit Funds in the Court’s Registry in the amount of $161 million, the full amount of the judgment with attorney’s fees and post-judgment interest. ETMT did so without waiving its ability to pursue its pending appeal or its right to appeal the merits of the judgment. The Court heard this Motion on October 25, 2022, and ETMT is awaiting the Magistrate Judge’s issuance of the report and recommendation to the District Court.

ETMT cannot predict the outcome of the case, nor can ETMT predict the amount of time and expense that will be required to resolve the appeal. A Petition for Writ of Certiorari was filed with the United States Supreme Court on April 28, 2022, seeking review of the 10th Circuit’s dismissal of ETMT’s appeal. The Supreme Court denied ETMT’s Petition on October 3, 2022. Despite the denial of its Petition for Writ of Certiorari, ETMT is still vigorously appealing the finality issues underlying the Order and has appealed the denial of the Motion to Modify to the 10th Circuit in an attempt to get a decision on finality. ETMT filed its opening brief with the 10th Circuit on September 13, 2022, and Plaintiff’s response was filed on October 13, 2022. ETMT’s reply brief is due on November 3, 2022.

Energy Transfer LP and ETC Texas Pipeline, Ltd. v. Culberson Midstream LLC, et al.

On April 8, 2022, Energy Transfer LP (“Energy Transfer”) and ETC Texas Pipeline, Ltd. (“ETC,” and together with Energy Transfer, “Plaintiffs”) filed suit against Culberson Midstream LLC (“Culberson”), Culberson Midstream Equity, LLC (“Culberson Equity”), and Moontower Resources Gathering, LLC (“Moontower,” and together with Culberson and Culberson Equity, “Defendants”). On October 1, 2018, ETC and Culberson entered into a Gas Gathering and Processing Agreement (the “Bypass GGPA”) under which Culberson was to gather gas from its dedicated acreage and deliver all committed gas exclusively to ETC. In connection with the Bypass GGPA, on October 18, 2018, Energy Transfer and Culberson Equity also entered into an Option Agreement. Under the Option Agreement, Culberson Equity and Moontower had the right (but not the obligation) to require Energy Transfer to purchase their respective interests in Culberson by way of a put option. Notably, the Option Agreement is only enforceable so long as the parties comply with the Bypass GGPA. In late March 2022, Culberson Equity and Moontower submitted a put notice to Energy Transfer seeking to require Energy Transfer to purchase their respective interests in Culberson for approximately $93 million. On April 8, 2022, Plaintiffs filed suit against Defendants asserting claims for declaratory judgment and breach of contract. Plaintiffs contend that Defendants materially breached the Bypass GGPA by sending some committed gas to third parties and also by failing to send any gas to Plaintiffs since March 2020, and thus that Defendants' put notice is void. Defendants have answered the lawsuit. Culberson filed a counterclaim against ETC for breach of the Bypass GGPA, seeking the recovery of damages and attorneys’ fees. Culberson Equity and Moontower also filed a counterclaim against Energy Transfer for (1) breach of the Option Agreement, and (2) a declaratory judgment concerning Energy Transfer’s alleged obligation to purchase the Culberson interests. The lawsuit is pending in the 193rd Judicial District Court in Dallas County, Texas. On April 27, 2022, Defendants filed an application for a temporary restraining order, temporary injunction, and permanent injunction. The Court held a hearing on the application on April 28 and denied the injunction. In early May, Culberson filed a motion to enforce the appraisal process and confirm the validity of their put price calculation, to which Plaintiffs objected. On July 11, 2022, the Court held a hearing on the motion, and on July 19, 2022, the Court ordered the parties to engage in an appraisal process regarding the put price. An independent appraiser was appointed and issued his decision on October 15, 2022, concluding that the Put Price totals $93,064,891. Plaintiffs have consistently reiterated their objection to the appraisal process. Plaintiffs cannot predict the ultimate outcome of this litigation or the amount of time and expense that will be required to resolve it.

Massachusetts Attorney General v. New England Gas Company

On July 7, 2011, the Massachusetts Attorney General (the “MA AG”) filed a regulatory complaint with the Massachusetts Department of Public Utilities (“DPU”) against New England Gas Company (“NEG”) with respect to certain environmental cost recoveries. NEG was an operating division of Southern Union Company (“SUG”), and the NEG assets were acquired in connection with the merger transaction with Energy Transfer in March 2012. Subsequent to the merger, in

28

Table of Contents

2013, SUG sold the NEG assets to Liberty Utilities (“Liberty,” and together with NEG and SUG, “Respondents”) and retained certain potential liabilities, including the environmental cost recoveries with respect to the pending complaint before the DPU. Specifically, the MA AG seeks a refund to NEG’s ratepayers for approximately $18 million in legal fees associated with SUG environmental response activities. The MA AG requests that the DPU initiate an investigation into NEG’s collection and reconciliation of recoverable environmental costs, namely: (1) the legal fees charged by the Kasowitz, Benson, Torres & Friedman firm and passed through the recovery mechanism since 2005; (2) the legal fees charged by the Bishop, London & Dodds firm and passed through the recovery mechanisms since 2005; and (3) the legal fees passed through the recovery mechanism that the MA AG contends only qualify for a lesser (i.e., 50 percent) level of recovery. Respondents maintain that, by tariff, these costs are recoverable through rates charged to NEG customers pursuant to the environmental remediation adjustment clause program. After the Respondents answered the complaint and filed a motion to dismiss in 2011, the Hearing Officer deferred decision on the motion to dismiss and issued a stay of discovery pending resolution of a discovery dispute, which it later lifted on June 24, 2013, permitting the case to resume. However, the MA AG failed to take any further steps to prosecute its claims for nearly seven years. The case remained largely dormant until February 2022, when the Hearing Officer denied the motion to dismiss. After receiving input from the parties, the Hearing Officer entered a procedural schedule on March 16, 2022 (which was amended slightly on August 22, 2022). The parties are now actively engaged in discovery and the preparation of pre-filed testimony. Respondents submitted their pre-filed testimony on July 11, 2022. The MA AG served three sets of discovery requests on Respondents on September 9, September 12, and September 20, respectively, to which Respondents timely responded. On October 5, 2022, the MA AG requested that the DPU issue a ruling on whether the information that Respondents redacted in their attorneys’ fees invoices is protected by the attorney-client privilege. On the same day, the MA AG also filed a Motion to Stay the Procedural Schedule pending a ruling on the privilege issue. On October 6, 2022, without even affording Respondents the opportunity to respond, the DPU granted the MA AG’s request to stay the procedural schedule. Accordingly, all previous deadlines (including the MA AG’s October 7, 2022, deadline to submit direct pre-filed testimony) are presently stayed. Respondents cannot predict the ultimate outcome of this regulatory proceeding, nor can they predict the amount of time and expense that will be required to resolve these claims; however, Respondents will vigorously defend themselves against the MA AG’s claims.

Environmental Matters

Our operations are subject to extensive federal, tribal, state and local environmental and safety laws and regulations that require expenditures to ensure compliance, including related to air emissions and wastewater discharges, at operating facilities and for remediation at current and former facilities as well as waste disposal sites. Historically, our environmental compliance costs have not had a material adverse effect on our results of operations but there can be no assurance that such costs will not be material in the future or that such future compliance with existing, amended or new legal requirements will not have a material adverse effect on our business and operating results. Costs of planning, designing, constructing and operating pipelines, plants and other facilities must incorporate compliance with environmental laws and regulations and safety standards. Failure to comply with these laws and regulations may result in the assessment of administrative, civil and criminal penalties, the imposition of investigatory, remedial and corrective action obligations, natural resource damages, the issuance of injunctions in affected areas and the filing of federally authorized citizen suits. Contingent losses related to all significant known environmental matters have been accrued and/or separately disclosed. However, we may revise accrual amounts prior to resolution of a particular contingency based on changes in facts and circumstances or changes in the expected outcome.

Environmental exposures and liabilities are difficult to assess and estimate due to unknown factors such as the magnitude of possible contamination, the timing and extent of remediation, the determination of our liability in proportion to other parties, improvements in cleanup technologies and the extent to which environmental laws and regulations may change in the future. Although environmental costs may have a significant impact on our results of operations for any single period, we believe that such costs will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position.

Based on information available at this time and reviews undertaken to identify potential exposure, we believe the amount reserved for environmental matters is adequate to cover the potential exposure for cleanup costs.

Environmental Remediation

Our subsidiaries are responsible for environmental remediation at certain sites, including the following:

•certain of our interstate pipelines conduct soil and groundwater remediation related to contamination from past uses of polychlorinated biphenyls (“PCBs”). PCB assessments are ongoing and, in some cases, our subsidiaries could be contractually responsible for contamination caused by other parties.

29

Table of Contents

•certain gathering and processing systems are responsible for soil and groundwater remediation related to releases of hydrocarbons.

•legacy sites related to Sunoco, Inc. are subject to environmental assessments, including formerly owned terminals and other logistics assets, retail sites that the Partnership no longer operates, closed and/or sold refineries and other formerly owned sites.

•the Partnership is potentially subject to joint and several liability for the costs of remediation at sites at which it has been identified as a potentially responsible party (“PRP”). As of September 30, 2022, the Partnership had been named as a PRP at approximately 34 identified or potentially identifiable “Superfund” sites under federal and/or comparable state law. The Partnership is usually one of a number of companies identified as a PRP at a site. The Partnership has reviewed the nature and extent of its involvement at each site and other relevant circumstances and, based upon the Partnership’s purported nexus to the sites, believes that its potential liability associated with such sites will not be significant.

To the extent estimable, expected remediation costs are included in the amounts recorded for environmental matters in our consolidated balance sheets. In some circumstances, future costs cannot be reasonably estimated because remediation activities are undertaken as claims are made by customers and former customers. To the extent that an environmental remediation obligation is recorded by a subsidiary that applies regulatory accounting policies, amounts that are expected to be recoverable through tariffs or rates are recorded as regulatory assets on our consolidated balance sheets.

The table below reflects the amounts of accrued liabilities recorded in our consolidated balance sheets related to environmental matters that are considered to be probable and reasonably estimable. Currently, we are not able to estimate possible losses or a range of possible losses in excess of amounts accrued. Except for matters discussed above, we do not have any material environmental matters assessed as reasonably possible that require disclosure in our consolidated financial statements.

	September 30, 2022		December 31, 2021
Current	$	46	$	46
Non-current	231		247
Total environmental liabilities	$	277	$	293

We have established a wholly-owned captive insurance company to bear certain risks associated with environmental obligations related to certain sites that are no longer operating. The premiums paid to the captive insurance company include estimates for environmental claims that have been incurred but not reported, based on an actuarially determined fully developed claims expense estimate. In such cases, we accrue losses attributable to unasserted claims based on the discounted estimates that are used to develop the premiums paid to the captive insurance company.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Partnership recorded $8 million and $18 million, respectively, of expenditures related to environmental cleanup programs.

Our pipeline operations are subject to regulation by the DOT under PHMSA, pursuant to which PHMSA has established requirements relating to the design, installation, testing, construction, operation, replacement and management of pipeline facilities. Moreover, PHMSA, through the Office of Pipeline Safety, has promulgated a rule requiring pipeline operators to develop integrity management programs to comprehensively evaluate their pipelines, and take measures to protect pipeline segments located in what the rule refers to as “high consequence areas.” Activities under these integrity management programs involve the performance of internal pipeline inspections, pressure testing or other effective means to assess the integrity of these regulated pipeline segments, and the regulations require prompt action to address integrity issues raised by the assessment and analysis. Integrity testing and assessment of all of these assets will continue, and the potential exists that results of such testing and assessment could cause us to incur future capital and operating expenditures for repairs or upgrades deemed necessary to ensure the continued safe and reliable operation of our pipelines; however, no estimate can be made at this time of the likely range of such expenditures.

Our operations are also subject to the requirements of OSHA, and comparable state laws that regulate the protection of the health and safety of employees. In addition, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s hazardous communication standard requires that information be maintained about hazardous materials used or produced in our operations and that this information be provided to employees, state and local government authorities and citizens. We believe that our past costs for OSHA required activities, including general industry standards, record keeping requirements,

and monitoring of occupational exposure to regulated substances have not had a material adverse effect on our results of operations but there is no assurance that such costs will not be material in the future.

11.REVENUE

Disaggregation of Revenue

The Partnership’s consolidated financial statements reflect eight reportable segments, which also represent the level at which the Partnership aggregates revenue for disclosure purposes. Note 13 depicts the disaggregation of revenue by segment.

Contract Balances with Customers

The Partnership satisfies its obligations by transferring goods or services in exchange for consideration from customers. The timing of performance may differ from the timing the associated consideration is paid to or received from the customer, thus resulting in the recognition of a contract asset or a contract liability.

The Partnership recognizes a contract asset when making upfront consideration payments to certain customers or when providing services to customers prior to the time at which the Partnership is contractually allowed to bill for such services.

The Partnership recognizes a contract liability if the customer’s payment of consideration precedes the Partnership’s fulfillment of the performance obligations. Certain contracts contain provisions requiring customers to pay a fixed minimum fee, but allow customers to apply such fees against services to be provided at a future point in time. These amounts are reflected as deferred revenue until the customer applies the deficiency fees to services provided or becomes unable to use the fees as payment for future services due to expiration of the contractual period the fees can be applied or physical inability of the customer to utilize the fees due to capacity constraints. Additionally, Sunoco LP maintains some franchise agreements requiring dealers to make one-time upfront payments for long-term license agreements. Sunoco LP recognizes a contract liability when the upfront payment is received and recognizes revenue over the term of the license.

The following table summarizes the consolidated activity of our contract liabilities:

	Contract Liabilities
Balance, December 31, 2021	$	459
Additions	815
Revenue recognized	(688)
Other	(13)
Balance, September 30, 2022	$	573
Balance, December 31, 2020	$	309
Additions	611
Revenue recognized	(512)
Balance, September 30, 2021	$	408

The balances of Sunoco LP’s contract assets were as follows:

	September 30, 2022		December 31, 2021
Contract balances:
Contract assets	$	182	$	157
Accounts receivable from contracts with customers	631		463

Performance Obligations

At contract inception, the Partnership assesses the goods and services promised in its contracts with customers and identifies a performance obligation for each promise to transfer a good or service (or bundle of goods or services) that is distinct. To identify the performance obligations, the Partnership considers all the goods or services promised in the contract, whether explicitly stated or implied based on customary business practices. For a contract that has more than one

31

Table of Contents

performance obligation, the Partnership allocates the total expected contract consideration to each distinct performance obligation based on a standalone-selling price basis. Revenue is recognized when (or as) the performance obligations are satisfied, that is, when the customer obtains control of the good or service. Certain of our contracts contain variable components, which, when combined with the fixed component, are considered a single performance obligation. For these types of contacts, only the fixed components of the contracts are included in the table below.

As of September 30, 2022, the aggregate amount of transaction price allocated to unsatisfied (or partially satisfied) performance obligations was $37.96 billion. The Partnership expects to recognize this amount as revenue within the time bands illustrated below:

	Years Ending December 31,
	2022
	(remainder)		2023		2024		Thereafter		Total
Revenue expected to be recognized on contracts with customers existing as of September 30, 2022	$	1,659	$	6,609	$	5,618	$	24,077	$	37,963

12.DERIVATIVE ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

Commodity Price Risk

We are exposed to market risks related to the volatility of commodity prices. To manage the impact of volatility from these prices, we utilize various exchange-traded and OTC commodity financial instrument contracts. These contracts consist primarily of futures, swaps and options and are recorded at fair value in our consolidated balance sheets.

We use futures and basis swaps, designated as fair value hedges, to hedge our natural gas inventory stored in our Bammel storage facility. At hedge inception, we lock in a margin by purchasing gas in the spot market or off peak season and entering into a financial contract. Changes in the spreads between the forward natural gas prices and the physical inventory spot price result in unrealized gains or losses until the underlying physical gas is withdrawn and the related designated derivatives are settled. Once the gas is withdrawn and the designated derivatives are settled, the previously unrealized gains or losses associated with these positions are realized.

We use futures, swaps and options to hedge the sales price of natural gas we retain for fees in our intrastate transportation and storage segment and operational gas sales in our interstate transportation and storage segment. These contracts are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes.

We use NGL and crude derivative swap contracts to hedge forecasted sales of NGL and condensate equity volumes we retain for fees in our midstream segment whereby our subsidiaries generally gather and process natural gas on behalf of producers, sell the resulting residue gas and NGL volumes at market prices and remit to producers an agreed upon percentage of the proceeds based on an index price for the residue gas and NGL. These contracts are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes.

We utilize swaps, futures and other derivative instruments to mitigate the risk associated with market movements in the price of refined products and NGLs to manage our storage facilities and the purchase and sale of purity NGL. These contracts are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes.

We use futures and swaps to achieve ratable pricing of crude oil purchases, to convert certain expected refined product sales to fixed or floating prices, to lock in margins for certain refined products and to lock in the price of a portion of natural gas purchases or sales. These contracts are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes.

We use financial commodity derivatives to take advantage of market opportunities in our trading activities which complement our transportation and storage segment’s operations and are netted in cost of products sold in our consolidated statements of operations. We also have trading and marketing activities related to power and natural gas in our all other segment which are also netted in cost of products sold. As a result of our trading activities and the use of derivative financial instruments in our transportation and storage segment, the degree of earnings volatility that can occur may be significant, favorably or unfavorably, from period to period. We attempt to manage this volatility through the use of daily position and profit and loss reports provided to our risk oversight committee, which includes members of senior management, and the limits and authorizations set forth in our commodity risk management policy.

Interest Rate Risk

We are exposed to market risk for changes in interest rates. To maintain a cost effective capital structure, we borrow funds using a mix of fixed rate debt and variable rate debt. We also utilize forward starting interest rate swaps to lock in the rate on a portion of our anticipated debt issuances.

33

The following table summarizes our interest rate swaps outstanding, none of which were designated as hedges for accounting purposes:

Term	Type(1)	Notional Amount Outstanding

(1)Floating rates are based on either SOFR or 3-month LIBOR.

(2)Represents the effective date. These forward-starting swaps have terms of 30 years with a mandatory termination date the same as the effective date.

Credit Risk

Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty may default on its contractual obligations resulting in a loss to the Partnership. Credit policies have been approved and implemented to govern the Partnership’s portfolio of counterparties with the objective of mitigating credit losses. These policies establish guidelines, controls and limits to manage credit risk within approved tolerances by mandating an appropriate evaluation of the financial condition of existing and potential counterparties, monitoring agency credit ratings, and by implementing credit practices that limit exposure according to the risk profiles of the counterparties. Furthermore, the Partnership may, at times, require collateral under certain circumstances to mitigate credit risk as necessary. The Partnership also uses industry standard commercial agreements which allow for the netting of exposures associated with transactions executed under a single commercial agreement. Additionally, we utilize master netting agreements to offset credit exposure across multiple commercial agreements with a single counterparty or affiliated group of counterparties.

The Partnership’s counterparties consist of a diverse portfolio of customers across the energy industry, including petrochemical companies, commercial and industrial end-users, oil and gas producers, municipalities, gas and electric utilities, midstream companies and independent power generators. Our overall exposure may be affected positively or negatively by macroeconomic or regulatory changes that impact our counterparties to one extent or another. Currently, management does not anticipate a material adverse effect in our financial position or results of operations as a consequence of counterparty non-performance.

The Partnership has maintenance margin deposits with certain counterparties in the OTC market, primarily with independent system operators and with clearing brokers. Payments on margin deposits are required when the value of a derivative exceeds our pre-established credit limit with the counterparty. Margin deposits are returned to us on or about the settlement date for non-exchange traded derivatives, and we exchange margin calls on a daily basis for exchange traded transactions. Since the margin calls are made daily with the exchange brokers, the fair value of the financial derivative instruments are deemed current and netted in deposits paid to vendors within other current assets in the consolidated balance sheets.

For financial instruments, failure of a counterparty to perform on a contract could result in our inability to realize amounts that have been recorded on our consolidated balance sheets and recognized in our statement of operations or statement of comprehensive income.

13.REPORTABLE SEGMENTS

Our reportable segments, which conduct their business primarily in the United States, are as follows:

•intrastate transportation and storage;

•interstate transportation and storage;

•midstream;

•NGL and refined products transportation and services;

•crude oil transportation and services;

•investment in Sunoco LP;

•investment in USAC; and

•all other.

Consolidated revenues and expenses reflect the elimination of all material intercompany transactions.

Revenues from our intrastate transportation and storage segment are primarily reflected in natural gas sales and gathering, transportation and other fees. Revenues from our interstate transportation and storage segment are primarily reflected in gathering, transportation and other fees. Revenues from our midstream segment are primarily reflected in natural gas sales, NGL sales and gathering, transportation and other fees. Revenues from our NGL and refined products transportation and services segment are primarily reflected in NGL sales and gathering, transportation and other fees. Revenues from our crude oil transportation and services segment are primarily reflected in crude sales. Revenues from our investment in Sunoco LP segment are primarily reflected in refined product sales. Revenues from our investment in USAC segment are primarily reflected in gathering, transportation and other fees. Revenues from our all other segment are primarily reflected in natural gas sales and gathering, transportation and other fees.

We report Segment Adjusted EBITDA and consolidated Adjusted EBITDA as measures of segment performance. We define Segment Adjusted EBITDA and consolidated 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 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 LIFO. These amounts are unrealized valuation adjustments applied to Sunoco LP’s fuel volumes remaining in inventory at the end of the period.

Segment Adjusted EBITDA and consolidated Adjusted EBITDA reflect amounts for unconsolidated affiliates based on the same recognition and measurement methods used to record equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates. Adjusted

36

Table of Contents

EBITDA related to unconsolidated affiliates excludes the same items with respect to the unconsolidated affiliate as those excluded from the calculation of Segment Adjusted EBITDA and consolidated 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 Segment Adjusted EBITDA or Adjusted EBITDA related to unconsolidated affiliates as an analytical tool should be limited accordingly.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

(Tabular dollar and unit amounts, except per unit data, are in millions)

The following is a discussion of our historical consolidated financial condition and results of operations, and should be read in conjunction with (i) our historical consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes thereto included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q; and (ii) the consolidated financial statements and management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations included in the Partnership’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 filed with the SEC on February 18, 2022. This discussion includes forward-looking statements that are subject to risk and uncertainties. Actual results may differ substantially from the statements we make in this section due to a number of factors that are discussed in “Part I – Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 filed with the SEC on February 18, 2022. Additional information on forward-looking statements is discussed below in “Forward-Looking Statements.”

Unless the context requires otherwise, references to “we,” “us,” “our,” the “Partnership” and “Energy Transfer” mean Energy Transfer LP and its consolidated subsidiaries.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

Woodford Express Acquisition

On September 13, 2022, Energy Transfer completed the acquisition of 100% of the membership interests in Woodford Express, LLC, which owns a mid-continent gas gathering and processing system, for approximately $485 million in cash consideration. The system, which is located in the heart of the SCOOP play, has 450 MMcf/d of cryogenic gas processing and treating capacity and over 200 miles of gathering lines, which are connected to Energy Transfer’s pipeline network. Woodford Express, LLC repaid an aggregate principal amount of $292 million of its revolving credit facility and term loan on the closing date of the acquisition, which amount is included in the total consideration.

Energy Transfer Canada Sale

In August 2022, the Partnership completed the previously announced sale of its 51% interest in Energy Transfer Canada. The sale resulted in cash proceeds to Energy Transfer of C$390 million (US$302 million).

Spindletop Assets Purchase

In March 2022, the Partnership purchased the membership interests in Caliche Coastal Holdings, LLC (subsequently renamed Energy Transfer Spindletop LLC), which owns an underground storage facility near Mont Belvieu, Texas, for approximately $325 million.

Sunoco LP Acquisition

On April 1, 2022, Sunoco LP completed the acquisition of a transmix processing and terminal facility in Huntington, Indiana for $252 million.

Quarterly Cash Distribution

In October 2022, Energy Transfer announced its quarterly distribution of $0.265 per unit ($1.06 annualized) on Energy Transfer common units for the quarter ended September 30, 2022.

Regulatory Update

Interstate Natural Gas Transportation Regulation

Rate Regulation

Effective January 2018, the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”) changed several provisions of the federal tax code, including a reduction in the maximum corporate tax rate. On March 15, 2018, in a set of related proposals, the FERC addressed treatment of federal income tax allowances in regulated entity rates. The FERC issued a Revised Policy Statement on Treatment of Income Taxes (“Revised Policy Statement”) stating that it will no longer permit master limited partnerships to recover an income tax allowance in their cost-of-service rates. The FERC issued the Revised Policy Statement in response to a remand from the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit in United Airlines v. FERC, in which the court determined that the FERC had not justified its conclusion that a pipeline organized as a master limited partnership would not “double recover” its taxes under the current policy by both including an income-tax allowance in its cost of service and earning

Table of Contents

a return on equity calculated using the discounted cash flow methodology. On July 18, 2018, the FERC clarified that a pipeline organized as a master limited partnership will not be precluded in a future proceeding from arguing and providing evidentiary support that it is entitled to an income tax allowance and demonstrating that its recovery of an income tax allowance does not result in a double-recovery of investors’ income tax costs. On July 31, 2020, the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit issued an opinion upholding the FERC’s decision denying a separate master limited partnership recovery of an income tax allowance and its decision not to require the master limited partnership to refund accumulated deferred income tax balances. In light of the rehearing order’s clarification regarding an individual entity’s ability to argue in support of recovery of an income tax allowance and the court’s subsequent opinion upholding denial of an income tax allowance to a master limited partnership, the impact of the FERC’s policy on the treatment of income taxes on the rates we can charge for FERC-regulated transportation services is unknown at this time.

Even without application of the FERC’s recent rate making-related policy statements and rulemakings, the FERC or our shippers may challenge the cost-of-service rates we charge. The FERC’s establishment of a just and reasonable rate is based on many components, including ROE and tax-related components, but also other pipeline costs that will continue to affect FERC’s determination of just and reasonable cost of service rates. Moreover, we receive revenues from our pipelines based on a variety of rate structures, including cost-of-service rates, negotiated rates, discounted rates and market-based rates. Many of our interstate pipelines, such as ETC Tiger, Midcontinent Express and Fayetteville Express, have negotiated market rates that were agreed to by customers in connection with long-term contracts entered into to support the construction of the pipelines. Other systems, such as FGT, Transwestern and Panhandle, have a mix of tariff rate, discount rate, and negotiated rate agreements. The revenues we receive from natural gas transportation services we provide pursuant to cost-of-service based rates may decrease in the future as a result of changes to FERC policies, combined with the reduced corporate federal income tax rate established in the Tax Act. The extent of any revenue reduction related to our cost-of-service rates, if any, will depend on a detailed review of all of our cost-of-service components and the outcomes of any challenges to our rates by the FERC or our shippers.

On July 18, 2018, the FERC issued a final rule establishing procedures to evaluate rates charged by the FERC-jurisdictional gas pipelines in light of the Tax Act and the FERC’s Revised Policy Statement. By an order issued January 16, 2019, the FERC initiated a review of Panhandle’s existing rates pursuant to Section 5 of the NGA to determine whether the rates currently charged by Panhandle are just and reasonable and set the matter for hearing. On August 30, 2019, Panhandle filed a general rate proceeding under Section 4 of the NGA. The Natural Gas Act Section 5 and Section 4 proceedings were consolidated by order of the Chief Judge on October 1, 2019. A hearing in the combined proceedings commenced on August 25, 2020 and adjourned on September 15, 2020. The initial decision by the administrative law judge was issued on March 26, 2021. On April 26, 2021, Panhandle filed its brief on exceptions to the initial decision. On May 17, 2021, Panhandle filed its brief opposing exceptions in this proceeding. This matter remains pending before the FERC.

Pipeline Certification

The FERC issued a Notice of Inquiry on April 19, 2018 (“Pipeline Certification NOI”), thereby initiating a review of its policies on certification of natural gas pipelines, including an examination of its long-standing Policy Statement on Certification of New Interstate Natural Gas Pipeline Facilities, issued in 1999, that is used to determine whether to grant certificates for new pipeline projects. On February 18, 2021, the FERC issued another NOI (“2021 NOI”), reopening its review of the 1999 Policy Statement. Comments on the 2021 NOI were due on May 26, 2021; we filed comments in the FERC proceeding. In September 2021, FERC issued a Notice of Technical Conference on Greenhouse Gas Mitigation related to natural gas infrastructure projects authorized under Sections 3 and 7 of the Natural Gas Act. A technical conference was held on November 19, 2021, and post-technical conference comments were submitted to the FERC on January 7, 2022.

On February 18, 2022, the FERC issued two new policy statements: (1) an Updated Policy Statement on the Certification of New Interstate Natural Gas Facilities and (2) a Policy Statement on the Consideration of Greenhouse Gas Emissions in Natural Gas Infrastructure Project Reviews (“2022 Policy Statements”), to be effective that same day. On March 24, 2022, the FERC issued an order designating the 2022 Policy Statements as draft policy statements, and requested further comments. The FERC will not apply the now draft 2022 Policy Statements to pending applications or applications to be filed at FERC until it issues any final guidance on these topics. Comments on the 2022 Policy Statements were due on April 25, 2022, and reply comments were due on May 25, 2022. We are unable to predict what, if any, changes may be proposed as a result of the 2022 Policy Statements that might affect our natural gas pipeline or LNG facility projects, or when such new policies, if any, might become effective. We do not expect that any change in these policy statements would affect us in a materially different manner than any other natural gas pipeline company operating in the United States.

Interstate Common Carrier Regulation

The FERC utilizes an indexing rate methodology which, as currently in effect, allows common carriers to change their rates within prescribed ceiling levels that are tied to changes in the Producer Price Index for Finished Goods, or PPI-FG. Many

40

Table of Contents

existing pipelines utilize the FERC liquids index to change transportation rates annually. The indexing methodology is applicable to existing rates, with the exclusion of market-based rates. The FERC’s indexing methodology is subject to review every five years. In a December 2020 order, FERC determined that during the five-year period commencing July 1, 2021 and ending June 30, 2026, common carriers charging indexed rates will be permitted to adjust their indexed ceilings annually by PPI-FG plus 0.78 percent. The FERC received requests for rehearing of its December 17, 2020 order and on January 20, 2022, granted rehearing and modified the oil index. Specifically, for the five-year period commencing July 1, 2021 and ending June 30, 2026, liquids pipelines charging indexed rates are permitted to adjust their indexed ceilings annually by Producer Price Index minus 0.21%. FERC directed liquids pipelines to recompute their ceiling levels for July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2022 based on the new index level. Where an oil pipeline’s filed rates exceed its ceiling levels, FERC ordered such oil pipelines to reduce the rate to bring it into compliance with the recomputed ceiling level to be effective March 1, 2022. Some parties have sought rehearing of the January 20, 2022 order with FERC while others have appealed to the Fifth Circuit and DC Circuit. On May 6, 2022, FERC issued its order denying the rehearing requests. Certain shippers have now filed an appeal with the DC Circuit challenging the May 6th rehearing order.

Results of Operations

We report Segment Adjusted EBITDA and consolidated Adjusted EBITDA as measures of segment performance. We define Segment Adjusted EBITDA and consolidated 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 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 LIFO. These amounts are unrealized valuation adjustments applied to Sunoco LP’s fuel volumes remaining in inventory at the end of the period.

Segment Adjusted EBITDA and consolidated Adjusted EBITDA reflect 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 Segment Adjusted EBITDA and consolidated 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 Segment Adjusted EBITDA or Adjusted EBITDA related to unconsolidated affiliates as an analytical tool should be limited accordingly.

Segment Adjusted EBITDA, as reported for each segment in the table below, is analyzed for each segment in the section titled “Segment Operating Results.” Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure used by industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies to assess the financial performance and the operating results of the Partnership’s fundamental business activities and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitution for net income, income from operations, cash flows from operating activities or other GAAP measures.

Adjusted EBITDA (consolidated). For the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same period last year, Adjusted EBITDA increased 20% primarily due to the impacts of the recent Enable Acquisition, which contributed $395 million of margin in our midstream segment and $137 million of margin in our interstate transportation and storage segment. In addition, the increase in Adjusted EBITDA also reflected a favorable impact of $33 million from natural gas and NGL prices in our midstream segment.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same period last year, Adjusted EBITDA decreased 6% primarily due to the impacts of Winter Storm Uri in February 2021. The most significant impacts were in our intrastate transportation and storage segment, where Segment Adjusted EBITDA decreased by $2.25 billion primarily due to a $1.52 billion decrease in realized storage margin and an $744 million decrease in realized natural gas sales, both of which were primarily due to the impact of Winter Storm Uri in the prior period. These decreases were partially offset by favorable results in multiple segments, the most significant of which were in our midstream segment, where Segment Adjusted EBITDA increased by $1.26 billion primarily due to favorable natural gas and NGL prices and the impact of the recent Enable Acquisition.

Additional information on changes impacting Adjusted EBITDA for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same periods last year, including other impacts from Winter Storm Uri and other non-storm-related factors, is available below in “Segment Operating Results.”

Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization. Depreciation, depletion and amortization increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same period last year primarily due to incremental depreciation and amortization related to the Enable assets acquired in December 2021 and assets recently placed in service.

42

Table of Contents

Interest Expense, net. Interest expense, net of interest capitalized, increased for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same period last year, primarily due to the following:

•the Partnership’s interest expense increased by $7 million due to an increase in average long-term debt resulting from the Enable Acquisition as well as higher interest rates on floating rate debt.

•Sunoco LP’s interest expense increased by $9 million due to an increase in average total long-term debt and an increase in the weighted average interest rate on long-term debt.

•USAC’s interest expense increased by $3 million due to higher weighted-average interest rates and increased borrowings under its credit agreement, partially offset by a decrease in amortization of debt issuance costs related to the amendment and restatement of its credit agreement since the prior period.

Interest expense, net of interest capitalized, increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same period last year, primarily due to the following:

•the Partnership’s interest expense decreased by $13 million due to lower non-cash interest expense in the current period, partially offset by an increase in average long-term debt resulting from the Enable Acquisition as well as higher interest rates on floating rate debt.

•Sunoco LP’s interest expense increased by $11 million due to an increase in average total long-term debt and an increase in the weighted average interest rate on long-term debt.

•USAC’s interest expense increased by $3 million due to higher weighted-average interest rates and increased borrowings under its credit agreement, partially offset by a decrease in amortization of debt issuance costs related to the amendment and restatement of its credit agreement since the prior period.

Impairment Losses and Other. For the three months ended September 30, 2022, impairment losses and other included an $85 million loss on the deconsolidation of Energy Transfer Canada, which was recorded upon the completion of the sale in August 2022. The nine months ended September 30, 2022 amount also included a $300 million impairment related to Energy Transfer Canada’s assets recorded in March 2022 based on the anticipated proceeds from the expected sale of those assets. The remainder of the impairment losses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 were from USAC’s recognition of impairment losses related to its compression equipment.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2021 impairment losses included a total of $5 million recognized by USAC related to its compression equipment, as well as a $6 million impairment of intangible assets related to customer contracts within the Partnership’s crude operations.

Gains on Interest Rate Derivatives. Gains on interest rate derivatives during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 resulted from changes in forward interest rates, which caused our forward-starting swaps to change in value.

Unrealized Gains (Losses) on Commodity Risk Management Activities. The unrealized gains and losses on our commodity risk management activities include changes in fair value of commodity derivatives and the hedged inventory included in designated fair value hedging relationships. Information on the unrealized gains and losses within each segment are included in “Segment Operating Results” below, and additional information on the commodity-related derivatives, including notional volumes, maturities and fair values, is available in “Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” and in Note 12 to our consolidated financial statements included in “Item 1. Financial Statements.”

Inventory Valuation Adjustments. Inventory valuation adjustments represent changes in lower of cost or market using the last-in, first-out method on Sunoco LP’s inventory. These amounts are unrealized valuation adjustments applied to fuel volumes remaining in inventory at the end of the period. For the three months ended September 30, 2022 a decrease in fuel prices increased lower of cost or market reserve requirements by $40 million, resulting in an adverse impact to net income. For the three months ended September 30, 2021, an increase in fuel prices reduced lower of cost or market reserve requirements by $9 million, resulting in a favorable impact to net income. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, an increase in fuel prices reduced lower of cost or market reserve requirements by $81 million and $168 million, respectively, resulting in favorable impacts to net income.

Losses on Extinguishments of Debt. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the loss on extinguishment of debt was related to the Partnership’s partial repayment of its Term Loan in April 2021 as well as Sunoco LP’s January 2021 repurchase of the remainder of its 2023 senior notes.

Other, net. Other, net primarily includes the amortization of regulatory assets and other income and expense amounts.

Income Tax Expense. For the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same period last year, income tax expense increased due to higher earnings from the Partnership’s consolidated subsidiaries, partially offset by a favorable state tax rate change in the current period. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same period last year, income tax expense decreased due to lower earnings from the Partnership’s consolidated corporate subsidiaries and a favorable state tax rate change in the current period.

Segment Operating Results

We evaluate segment performance based on Segment Adjusted EBITDA, which we believe is an important performance measure of the core profitability of our operations. This measure represents the basis of our internal financial reporting and is one of the performance measures used by senior management in deciding how to allocate capital resources among business segments.

44

Table of Contents

The tables below identify the components of Segment Adjusted EBITDA, which is calculated as follows:

•Segment margin, operating expenses, and selling, general and administrative expenses. These amounts represent the amounts included in our consolidated financial statements that are attributable to each segment.

•Unrealized gains or losses on commodity risk management activities and inventory valuation adjustments. These are the unrealized amounts that are included in cost of products sold to calculate segment margin. These amounts are not included in Segment Adjusted EBITDA; therefore, the unrealized losses are added back and the unrealized gains are subtracted to calculate the segment measure.

•Non-cash compensation expense. These amounts represent the total non-cash compensation recorded in operating expenses and selling, general and administrative expenses. This expense is not included in Segment Adjusted EBITDA and therefore is added back to calculate the segment measure.

•Adjusted EBITDA related to 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 Segment 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 following analysis of segment operating results includes a measure of segment margin. Segment margin is a non-GAAP financial measure and is presented herein to assist in the analysis of segment operating results and particularly to facilitate an understanding of the impacts that changes in sales revenues have on the segment performance measure of Segment Adjusted EBITDA. Segment margin is similar to the GAAP measure of gross margin, except that segment margin excludes charges for depreciation, depletion and amortization. Among the GAAP measures reported by the Partnership, the most directly comparable measure to segment margin is Segment Adjusted EBITDA; a reconciliation of segment margin to Segment Adjusted EBITDA is included in the following tables for each segment where segment margin is presented.

In addition, for certain segments, the sections below include information on the components of segment margin by sales type, which components are included in order to provide additional disaggregated information to facilitate the analysis of segment margin and Segment Adjusted EBITDA. For example, these components include transportation margin, storage margin and other margin. These components of segment margin are calculated consistent with the calculation of segment margin; therefore, these components also exclude charges for depreciation, depletion and amortization.

Winter Storm Uri, which occurred in February 2021, resulted in one-time impacts to the Partnership’s Adjusted EBITDA and also affected the results of operations in certain segments, as discussed in segment analysis. The recognition of the impacts of Winter Storm Uri during the three months ended March 31, 2021 required management to make certain estimates and assumptions, including estimates of expected credit losses and assumptions related to the resolution of disputes with counterparties with respect to certain purchases and sales of natural gas. The ultimate realization of credit losses and the resolution of disputed purchases and sales of natural gas could materially impact the Partnership’s financial condition and results of operations in future periods.

•an increase of $53 million in operating expenses primarily due to higher volume-driven expenses, higher project expenses and expenses related to assets acquired in 2021;

•an increase of $110 million in selling, general and administrative expenses primarily due to a charge related to a legal matter; and

•a decrease of $12 million in Adjusted EBITDA related to unconsolidated affiliates due to the consolidation of certain operations that were previously reflected as unconsolidated affiliates.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Overview

Our ability to satisfy obligations and pay distributions to unitholders will depend on our future performance, which will be subject to prevailing economic, financial, business and weather conditions, and other factors, many of which are beyond management’s control.

55

Table of Contents

We currently expect capital expenditures in 2022 to be within the following ranges (excluding capital expenditures related to our investments in Sunoco LP and USAC):

	Growth				Maintenance
	Low		High		Low		High
Intrastate transportation and storage	$	120	$	145	$	40	$	45
Interstate transportation and storage (1)	475		525		160		170
Midstream	700		830		145		155
NGL and refined products transportation and services	375		425		125		135
Crude oil transportation and services (1)	120		155		105		110
All other (including eliminations)	10		20		40		50
Total capital expenditures	$	1,800	$	2,100	$	615	$	665

(1)Includes capital expenditures related to our proportionate share of the Bakken, Rover and Bayou Bridge pipeline joint ventures, as well as the Orbit Gulf Coast NGL Exports joint venture.

The assets used in our natural gas and liquids operations, including pipelines, gathering systems and related facilities, are generally long-lived assets and do not require significant maintenance capital expenditures. Accordingly, we do not have any significant financial commitments for maintenance capital expenditures in our businesses. From time to time we experience increases in pipe costs due to a number of reasons, including but not limited to, delays from steel mills, limited selection of mills capable of producing large diameter pipe timely, higher steel prices and other factors beyond our control. However, we have included these factors in our anticipated growth capital expenditures for each year.

We generally fund maintenance capital expenditures and distributions with cash flows from operating activities. We generally expect to fund growth capital expenditures with proceeds of borrowings under our credit facilities, along with cash from operations.

Sunoco LP currently expects to invest approximately $150 million in growth capital expenditures and approximately $50 million on maintenance capital expenditures for the full year 2022.

USAC currently plans to spend approximately $26 million in maintenance capital expenditures and spend between $120 million and $130 million in expansion capital expenditures for the full year 2022.

Cash Flows

Our cash flows may change in the future due to a number of factors, some of which we cannot control. These include regulatory changes, the price for our products and services, the demand for such products and services, margin requirements resulting from significant changes in commodity prices, operational risks, the successful integration of our acquisitions and other factors.

Operating Activities

Changes in cash flows from operating activities between periods primarily result from changes in earnings (as discussed in “Results of Operations”), excluding the impacts of non-cash items and changes in operating assets and liabilities. Non-cash items include recurring non-cash expenses, such as depreciation, depletion and amortization expense and non-cash compensation expense. The increase in depreciation, depletion and amortization expense during the periods presented primarily resulted from construction and acquisition of assets, while changes in non-cash compensation expense resulted from changes in the number of units granted and changes in the grant date fair value estimated for such grants. Cash flows from operating activities also differ from earnings as a result of non-cash charges that may not be recurring, such as impairment charges and allowance for equity funds used during construction. The allowance for equity funds used during construction increases in periods when we have a significant amount of interstate pipeline construction in progress. Changes in operating assets and liabilities between periods result from factors such as the changes in the value of price risk management assets and liabilities, the timing of accounts receivable collection, the timing of payments on accounts payable, the timing of purchase and sales of inventories and the timing of advances and deposits received from customers.

Nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to nine months ended September 30, 2021. Cash provided by operating activities during 2022 was $7.71 billion compared to $9.42 billion for 2021, and net income was $4.43 billion for 2022 and $5.46 billion for 2021. The difference between net income and net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 primarily consisted of net changes in operating assets and liabilities (net of effects of acquisitions and divestitures) of $212 million and other non-cash items totaling $3.35 billion.

56

Table of Contents

The non-cash activity in 2022 and 2021 consisted primarily of depreciation, depletion and amortization of $3.10 billion and $2.84 billion, respectively, non-cash compensation expense of $88 million and $81 million, respectively, favorable inventory valuation adjustments of $81 million and $168 million, respectively, deferred income taxes of $158 million and $199 million, respectively, and impairment losses of $386 million and $11 million, respectively. Non-cash activity also included equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates of $186 million and $191 million in 2022 and 2021, respectively. In 2021, we also had losses on extinguishments of debt of $8 million.

Cash provided by operating activities includes cash distributions received from unconsolidated affiliates that are deemed to be paid from cumulative earnings, which distributions were $182 million in 2022 and $226 million in 2021.

Cash paid for interest, net of interest capitalized, was $1.48 billion and $1.57 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Interest capitalized was $84 million and $97 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Investing Activities

Cash flows from investing activities primarily consist of cash amounts paid for acquisitions, capital expenditures, cash contributions to our joint ventures, and cash proceeds from sales or contributions of assets or businesses. In addition, distributions from equity investees are included in cash flows from investing activities if the distributions are deemed to be a return of the Partnership’s investment. Changes in capital expenditures between periods primarily result from increases or decreases in our growth capital expenditures to fund our construction and expansion projects.

Nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to nine months ended September 30, 2021. Cash used in investing activities during 2022 was $3.08 billion compared to $1.91 billion for 2021. Total capital expenditures (excluding the allowance for equity funds used during construction and net of contributions in aid of construction costs) for 2022 were $2.44 billion compared to $2.02 billion for 2021. Additional detail related to our capital expenditures is provided in the table below. In 2022, we paid $485 million in cash for the acquisitions of Woodford Express, LLC, we paid $325 million in cash for the acquisition of Caliche Coastal Holdings, LLC (subsequently renamed Energy Transfer Spindletop LLC) and Sunoco LP paid $252 million in cash related to its acquisition of a transmix processing and terminal facility. In 2022, we received $302 million in cash from the sale of our interest in Energy Transfer Canada.

The following is a summary of capital expenditures (including only our proportionate share of the Bakken, Rover, Bayou Bridge, and Orbit Gulf Coast NGL Exports joint ventures, net of contributions in aid of construction costs) on an accrual basis for the nine months ended September 30, 2022:

All other (including eliminations)	19		33		52
Total capital expenditures	$	1,499	$	527	$	2,026

Financing Activities

Changes in cash flows from financing activities between periods primarily result from changes in the levels of borrowings and equity issuances, which are primarily used to fund our acquisitions and growth capital expenditures. Distributions increase between the periods based on increases in the number of common units outstanding or increases in the distribution rate.

Nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to nine months ended September 30, 2021. Cash used in financing activities during 2022 was $4.65 billion compared to $7.57 billion for 2021. During 2022, we had a net decrease in our debt level of $1.71 billion compared to a net decrease of $6.00 billion for 2021.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The information contained in Item 3 updates, and should be read in conjunction with, information set forth in Part II - Item 7A included in the Partnership’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 filed with the SEC on February 18, 2022, in addition to the accompanying notes and management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations presented in Items 1 and 2 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Our quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk are consistent with those discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. Since December 31, 2021, there have been no material changes to our primary market risk exposures or how those exposures are managed.

Commodity Price Risk

(1)Includes aggregate amounts for open positions related to Houston Ship Channel, Waha Hub, NGPL TexOk, West Louisiana Zone and Henry Hub locations.

The fair values of the commodity-related financial positions have been determined using independent third-party prices, readily available market information and appropriate valuation techniques. Non-trading positions offset physical exposures to the cash market; none of these offsetting physical exposures are included in the above tables. Price-risk sensitivities were calculated by assuming a theoretical 10% change (increase or decrease) in price regardless of term or historical relationships between the contractual price of the instruments and the underlying commodity price. Results are presented in absolute terms and represent a potential gain or loss in net income or in other comprehensive income. In the event of an actual 10% change in prompt month natural gas prices, the fair value of our total derivative portfolio may not change by 10% due to factors such as when the

financial instrument settles and the location to which the financial instrument is tied (i.e., basis swaps) and the relationship between prompt month and forward months.

Interest Rate Risk

As of September 30, 2022, we and our subsidiaries had $4.79 billion of floating rate debt outstanding. A hypothetical change of 100 basis points would result in a maximum potential change to interest expense of $48 million annually; however, our actual change in interest expense may be less in a given period due to interest rate floors included in our variable rate debt instruments. We manage a portion of our interest rate exposure by utilizing interest rate swaps, including forward-starting interest rate swaps to lock-in the rate on a portion of anticipated debt issuances.

The following table summarizes our interest rate swaps outstanding, none of which are designated as hedges for accounting purposes (dollar amounts presented in millions):

Term	Type(1)	Notional Amount Outstanding
		September 30, 2022		December 31, 2021
July 2022(2)	Forward-starting to pay an average fixed rate of 3.80% and receive a floating rate	$	—	$	400
July 2023(2)	Forward-starting to pay an average fixed rate of 3.845% and receive a floating rate	400		200
July 2024(2)	Forward-starting to pay an average fixed rate of 3.512% and receive a floating rate	400		200

(1)Floating rates are based on either SOFR or 3-month LIBOR.

(2)Represents the effective date. These forward-starting swaps have terms of 30 years with a mandatory termination date the same as the effective date.

A hypothetical change of 100 basis points in interest rates for these interest rate swaps would result in a net change in the fair value of interest rate derivatives and earnings (recognized in gains and losses on interest rate derivatives) of $155 million as of September 30, 2022. For the forward-starting interest rate swaps, a hypothetical change of 100 basis points in interest rates would not affect cash flows until the swaps are settled.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We have established disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us, including our consolidated entities, in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.

Under the supervision and with the participation of senior management, including the Co-Chief Executive Officers (“Co-Principal Executive Officer”) and the Chief Financial Officer (“Principal Financial Officer”) of our General Partner, we evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a–15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, the Principal Executive Officers and the Principal Financial Officer of our General Partner concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2022 to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act (1) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and (2) is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Principal Executive Officers and Principal Financial Officer of our General Partner, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13(a)-15(f) or Rule 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the three months ended September 30, 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

For information regarding legal proceedings, see our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 18, 2022 and Note 10 in “Item 1. Financial Statements” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2022.

Additionally, we have received notices of violations and potential fines under various federal, state and local provisions relating to the discharge of materials into the environment or protection of the environment. While we believe that even if any one or more of the environmental proceedings listed below were decided against us, it would not be material to our financial position, results of operations or cash flows, we are required to report governmental proceedings if we reasonably believe that such proceedings reasonably could result in monetary sanctions in excess of $300,000.

Pursuant to the instructions to Form 10-Q, matters disclosed in this Part II - Item 1 include any reportable legal proceeding (i) that has been terminated during the period covered by this report, (ii) that became a reportable event during the period covered by this report, or (iii) for which there has been a material development during the period covered by this report.

On September 10, 2018, a pipeline release and fire (the “Incident”) occurred on the Revolution pipeline, a natural gas gathering line located in Center Township, Beaver County, Pennsylvania. There were no injuries.

The PA AG commenced an investigation regarding the Incident, and the United States Attorney for the Western District of Pennsylvania issued a federal grand jury subpoena for documents relevant to the Incident. The scope of these investigations is not further known at this time.

On February 2, 2022, the PA AG issued a press release related to the Revolution pipeline, and released a Grand Jury Presentment and filed a criminal complaint against ETC Northeast Pipeline, LLC in Magisterial District Court No. 12-2-02 in Dauphin County, Pennsylvania, with respect to nine misdemeanor charges related to various alleged violations of the Clean Streams Law associated with the construction of the Revolution pipeline.

On August 5, 2022, the PA AG held a press conference to announce that the matter had been resolved through an agreement whereby ETC Northeast Pipeline, LLC entered a plea of no contest to all charges. The resolution also included terms that the company would pay a $22,500 fine to the Clean Water Fund at the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, and jointly with Sunoco Pipeline L.P. to pay certain funds to support water quality improvement projects. The plea agreement was entered by court on August 12, 2022, and the matter is now closed.

On March 11, 2019, the Delaware County District Attorney’s Office (the “Delaware County DA”) announced that the Delaware County DA and the PA AG, at the request of the Delaware County DA, are conducting an investigation of alleged criminal misconduct involving the construction and related activities of the Mariner East pipelines in Delaware County. On March 16, 2020, the PA AG served a Statewide Investigating Grand Jury subpoena for documents relating to inadvertent returns and water supplies related to the Mariner East pipelines. The Partnership has complied with the subpoena. On October 5, 2021, the PA AG held a press conference related to the Mariner East pipelines, released a Grand Jury Presentment and subsequently filed a criminal complaint against Energy Transfer in the Magisterial District Court No. 12-2-02 in Dauphin County, Pennsylvania with respect to 47 misdemeanor charges related to the discharge of industrial waste and pollution and one felony charge related to the failure to report information related to the discharges.

On August 5, 2022, the PA AG held a press conference to announce that the matter had been resolved through an agreement whereby SPLP entered a plea of no contest to 14 of the misdemeanor charges, with the remaining charges being dismissed. The resolution also included terms that the company would pay a $35,000 fine to the Clean Water Fund at the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, and jointly with ETC Northeast Pipeline, LLC to resolve a parallel action by the PA AG’s office (see above), would establish a fund of $442,500 to create a Homeowner Well Water Supply Grievance Program and pay $10 million to support water quality improvement projects. The plea agreement was entered by the court on August 12, 2022, and the matter is now closed.

After an inadvertent return (“IR”) occurred on August 10, 2020 in Chester County, Pennsylvania that resulted in a discharge to Marsh Creek State Park, on September 11, 2020, the PADEP issued an Administrative Order that ordered SPLP to cease all construction at the location, grout the borehole, and perform a 1.01-mile reroute of the 20-inch pipeline in the area. SPLP filed a Notice of Appeal with the Pennsylvania Environmental Hearing Board (“EHB”) on September 25, 2020, and subsequently filed a Petition for Supersedeas on October 8, 2020. On December 16, 2020, the EHB partially granted SPLP’s Petition for Supersedeas, suspending the requirements of the Administrative Order to re-route the 20-inch pipeline and grout the HDD borehole. Following the decision, SPLP negotiated with PADEP to change the method of installation for the 20-inch pipeline

65

Table of Contents

from HDD to an open cut along an alternative route near to the original right-of-way. SPLP submitted a major permit modification to PADEP on October 7, 2021, to reflect the change in construction method and location. On December 6, 2021, a settlement was reached that resolved the EHB appeal through a Consent Order & Agreement (“COA”). The COA allowed PADEP to issue the major permit modification so that the 20-inch pipeline installation could be completed. As part of the COA, SPLP paid a $341,000 civil penalty to PADEP, SPLP paid a $4 million settlement to the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources for alleged natural resource damages to Marsh Creek State Park, SPLP agreed to complete the restoration of a wetland and stream in the area, and SPLP agreed to complete a restoration and dredging project in a portion of Marsh Creek State Park known as “Ranger Cove.” The 20-inch pipeline has now been fully installed in the area, and restoration of the wetland and streams have been completed. The restoration and dredging project at Ranger Cove commenced in April 2022 and is now complete.

For additional information required in this Item, see disclosure under the headings “Litigation and Contingencies” and “Environmental Matters” in Note 10 to our consolidated financial statements in “Item 1. Financial Statements”, which information is incorporated by reference into this Item.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Operations And Organization

ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Organization

The consolidated financial statements presented herein contain the results of Energy Transfer LP and its subsidiaries (the “Partnership,” “we,” “us,” “our” or “Energy Transfer”).

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited financial information included in this Form 10-Q has been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Partnership’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the SEC on February 18, 2022. In the opinion of the Partnership’s management, such financial information reflects all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and the results of operations for such interim periods in accordance with GAAP. All intercompany items and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain information and disclosures normally included in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC.

The consolidated financial statements of the Partnership presented herein include the results of operations of our controlled subsidiaries, including Sunoco LP and USAC. The Partnership owns the general partner interest, incentive distribution rights and 28.5 million common units of Sunoco LP, and the general partner interests and 46.1 million common units of USAC.

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on net income or total equity.

Use of Estimates

The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with GAAP, which requires the use of estimates and assumptions made by management that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and the accrual for and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities that exist at the date of the consolidated financial statements. Although these estimates are based on management’s available knowledge of current and expected future events, actual results could be different from those estimates.

Business Combination and Asset Acquisition [Abstract]

Business Combination Disclosure

ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURE TRANSACTIONS

Woodford Express Acquisition

On September 13, 2022, Energy Transfer completed the acquisition of 100% of the membership interests in Woodford Express, LLC, which owns a mid-continent gas gathering and processing system, for approximately $485 million in cash consideration. The system, which is located in the heart of the SCOOP play, has 450 MMcf/d of cryogenic gas processing and treating capacity and over 200 miles of gathering lines, which are connected to Energy Transfer’s pipeline network. Woodford Express, LLC repaid an aggregate principal amount of $292 million of its revolving credit facility and term loan on the closing date of the acquisition, which amount is included in the total consideration. The purchase price has primarily been allocated to working capital and property, plant and equipment in the preliminary purchase price allocation reflected in the Partnership’s consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2022.

Energy Transfer Canada Sale

In August 2022, the Partnership completed the previously announced sale of its 51% interest in Energy Transfer Canada. The sale resulted in cash proceeds to Energy Transfer of C$390 million (US$302 million).

Energy Transfer Canada’s assets and operations were included in the Partnership’s all other segment until August 2022. Energy Transfer Canada did not meet the criteria to be reflected as discontinued operations in the Partnership’s consolidated statement of operations. Based on the anticipated proceeds upon signing of the share purchase agreement in February 2022, during the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Partnership recorded a write-down on Energy Transfer Canada’s assets of $300 million, of which $164 million was allocated to noncontrolling interests and $136 million was

reflected in net income attributable to partners. Upon the completion of the sale in August 2022, the Partnership recorded an $85 million loss on deconsolidation.

Spindletop Assets Purchase

In March 2022, the Partnership purchased the membership interests in Caliche Coastal Holdings, LLC (subsequently renamed Energy Transfer Spindletop LLC), which owns an underground storage facility near Mont Belvieu, Texas, for approximately $325 million.

Enable Acquisition

On December 2, 2021, the Partnership completed the acquisition of Enable (the “Enable Acquisition”). As of November 3, 2022, there have been no material changes to the preliminary purchase price allocation disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the SEC on February 18, 2022.

Sunoco LP Acquisition

On April 1, 2022, Sunoco LP completed the acquisition of a transmix processing and terminal facility in Huntington, Indiana for $252 million, net of cash acquired, of which $98 million was allocated to intangible assets, $20 million to goodwill, $73 million to property, plant and equipment and $76 million to working capital.

Cash and Cash Equivalents Disclosure

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

Cash and cash equivalents include all cash on hand, demand deposits and investments with original maturities of three months or less. We consider cash equivalents to include short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and that are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. The Partnership’s consolidated balance sheets did not include any material amounts of restricted cash as of September 30, 2022 or December 31, 2021.

We place our cash deposits and temporary cash investments with high credit quality financial institutions. At times, our cash and cash equivalents may be uninsured or in deposit accounts that exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limit.

The net change in operating assets and liabilities, net of effects of acquisitions, included in cash flows from operating activities is comprised as follows:

Fair Value Measurements [Abstract]

Fair Value Measurements

FAIR VALUE MEASURESWe have commodity derivatives and interest rate derivatives that are accounted for as assets and liabilities at fair value in our consolidated balance sheets. We determine the fair value of our assets and liabilities subject to fair value measurement by using the highest possible “level” of inputs. Level 1 inputs are observable quotes in an active market for identical assets and liabilities. We consider the valuation of marketable securities and commodity derivatives transacted through a clearing broker with a published price from the appropriate exchange as a Level 1 valuation. Level 2 inputs are inputs observable for similar assets and liabilities. We consider OTC commodity derivatives entered into directly with third parties as a Level 2 valuation since the values of these derivatives are quoted on an exchange for similar transactions. Additionally, we consider options transacted through a clearing broker as having Level 2 inputs due to the level of activity of these contracts on the exchange in which they trade. The valuation methodologies employed for our interest rate derivatives do not necessitate material judgment, and the inputs are observed from actively quoted public markets and therefore are categorized in Level 2. Level 3 inputs are unobservable. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, no transfers were made between any levels within the fair value hierarchy.

The following tables summarize the gross fair value of our financial assets and liabilities measured and recorded at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 based on inputs used to derive their fair values:

Winter Storm Impacts

Winter Storm Uri, which occurred in February 2021, resulted in one-time impacts to the Partnership’s consolidated net income and also affected the results of operations in certain segments. The recognition of the impacts of Winter Storm Uri during 2021 required management to make certain estimates and assumptions, including estimates of expected credit losses and assumptions related to the resolution of disputes with counterparties with respect to certain purchases and sales of natural gas. The ultimate realization of credit losses and the resolution of disputed purchases and sales of natural gas could materially impact the Partnership’s financial condition and results of operations in future periods.

FERC Proceedings

Rover – FERC - Stoneman House

In late 2016, FERC Enforcement Staff began a non-public investigation related to Rover’s purchase and removal of a potentially historic home (known as the Stoneman House) while Rover’s application for permission to construct the new 711-mile interstate natural gas pipeline and related facilities was pending. On March 18, 2021, FERC issued an Order to Show Cause and Notice of Proposed Penalty (Docket No. IN19-4-000), ordering Rover to explain why it should not pay a $20 million civil penalty for alleged violations of FERC regulations requiring certificate holders to be forthright in their submissions of information to the FERC. Rover filed its answer and denial to the order on June 21, 2021 and a surreply on September 15, 2021. FERC issued an order on January 20, 2022 setting the matter for hearing before an administrative law judge. The hearing was set to commence on March 6, 2023.

On February 1, 2022, Energy Transfer and Rover filed a Complaint for Declaratory Relief in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas seeking an order declaring that FERC must bring its enforcement action in federal district court (instead of before an administrative law judge). Also on February 1, 2022, Energy Transfer and Rover filed an expedited request to stay the proceedings before the FERC administrative law judge pending the outcome of the federal district court case. On May 24, 2022, the District Court ordered a stay of the FERC’s enforcement case and the District Court case pending the resolution of two cases pending before the United States Supreme Court, which are slated for argument on November 7, 2022, with decisions unlikely until 2023. Energy Transfer and Rover intend to vigorously defend this claim.

Rover – FERC - Tuscarawas

In mid-2017, FERC Enforcement Staff began a non-public investigation regarding allegations that diesel fuel may have been included in the drilling mud at the Tuscarawas River horizontal directional drilling (“HDD”) operations. Rover and the Partnership are cooperating with the investigation. In 2019, Enforcement Staff provided Rover with a notice pursuant to Section 1b.19 of the FERC regulations that Enforcement Staff intended to recommend that the FERC pursue an enforcement action against Rover and the Partnership. On December 16, 2021, FERC issued an Order to Show Cause and Notice of Proposed Penalty (Docket No. IN17-4-000), ordering Rover and Energy Transfer to show cause why they should not be found to have violated Section 7(e) of the Natural Gas Act, Section 157.20 of FERC’s regulations, and the Rover Pipeline Certificate Order, and assessed civil penalties of $40 million.

Rover and Energy Transfer filed their answer to this order on March 21, 2022, and Enforcement Staff filed a reply on April 20, 2022. Rover and Energy Transfer filed their surreply to this order on May 13, 2022. The primary contractor (and one of

the subcontractors) responsible for the HDD operations of the Tuscarawas River site have agreed to indemnify Rover and the Partnership for any and all losses, including any fines and penalties from government agencies, resulting from their actions in conducting such HDD operations. Given the stage of the proceedings, the Partnership is unable at this time to provide an assessment of the potential outcome or range of potential liability, if any; however, the Partnership believes the indemnity described above will be applicable to the penalty proposed by Enforcement Staff and intends to vigorously defend itself against the subject claims.

Transwestern - FERC

On July 1, 2022, Transwestern filed a rate case pursuant to Section 4 of the Natural Gas Act. By order dated September 9, 2022, a procedural schedule was adopted in this proceeding, setting the commencement of the hearing for June 22, 2023.

Other FERC Proceedings

By an order issued January 16, 2019, the FERC initiated a review of Panhandle’s existing rates pursuant to Section 5 of the NGA to determine whether the rates currently charged by Panhandle are just and reasonable and set the matter for hearing. On August 30, 2019, Panhandle filed a general rate proceeding under Section 4 of the NGA. The Natural Gas Act Section 5 and Section 4 proceedings were consolidated by order of the Chief Judge on October 1, 2019. The initial decision by the administrative law judge was issued on March 26, 2021. On April 26, 2021, Panhandle filed its brief on exceptions to the initial decision. On May 17, 2021, Panhandle filed its brief opposing exceptions in this proceeding. This matter remains pending before the FERC.

In May 2021, the FERC commenced an audit of SPLP for the period from January 1, 2018 to present to evaluate SPLP’s compliance with its FERC oil tariffs, the accounting requirements of the Uniform System of Accounts as prescribed by the FERC, and the FERC’s Form No. 6 reporting requirements. The audit is ongoing.

IRS Audit

The Partnership’s 2020 U.S. Federal income tax return is currently under examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

Commitments

In the normal course of business, Energy Transfer purchases, processes and sells natural gas pursuant to long-term contracts and enter into long-term transportation and storage agreements. Such contracts contain terms that are customary in the industry. Energy Transfer believes that the terms of these agreements are commercially reasonable and will not have a material adverse effect on the Partnership’s financial position or results of operations.

Our joint venture agreements require that we fund our proportionate share of capital contributions to our unconsolidated affiliates. Such contributions will depend upon the unconsolidated affiliates’ capital requirements, such as for funding capital projects or repayment of long-term obligations.

We have certain non-cancelable rights-of-way (“ROW”) commitments, which require fixed payments and either expire upon our chosen abandonment or at various dates in the future. The table below reflects ROW expense included in operating expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations:

	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2022		2021		2022		2021
ROW expense	$	16	$	18	$	44	$	33

Litigation and Contingencies

We may, from time to time, be involved in litigation and claims arising out of our operations in the normal course of business. Due to the flammable and combustible nature of natural gas and crude oil, the potential exists for personal injury and/or property damage to occur in connection with their transportation, storage or use. In the ordinary course of business, we are sometimes threatened with or named as a defendant in various lawsuits seeking actual and punitive damages for product liability, personal injury and property damage. We maintain liability insurance with insurers in amounts and with coverage and deductibles management believes are reasonable and prudent, and which are generally accepted in the industry. However, there can be no assurance that the levels of insurance protection currently in effect will continue to be available at reasonable prices or that such levels will remain adequate to protect us from material expenses related to product liability, personal injury or property damage in the future.

We or our subsidiaries are parties to various legal proceedings, arbitrations and/or regulatory proceedings incidental to our businesses. For each of these matters, we evaluate the merits of the case, our exposure to the matter, possible legal or settlement strategies, the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome and the availability of insurance coverage. If we determine that an unfavorable outcome of a particular matter is probable and can be estimated, we accrue the contingent obligation, as well as any expected insurance recoverable amounts related to the contingency. As new information becomes available, our estimates may change. The impact of these changes may have a significant effect on our results of operations in a single period.

As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, accruals of approximately $343 million and $144 million, respectively, were reflected on our consolidated balance sheets related to contingent losses that met both the probable and reasonably estimable criteria. In addition, we may recognize additional contingent losses in the future related to (i) contingent matters for which a loss is currently considered reasonably possible but not probable and/or (ii) losses in excess of amounts that have already been accrued for such contingent matters. In some of these cases, we are not able to estimate possible losses or a range of possible losses in excess of amounts accrued. For such matters where additional contingent losses can be reasonably estimated, the range of additional losses is estimated to be up to approximately $750 million.

The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty and there can be no assurance that the outcome of a particular matter will not result in the payment of amounts that have not been accrued for the matter. Furthermore, we may revise accrual amounts or our estimates of reasonably possible losses prior to resolution of a particular contingency based on changes in facts and circumstances or changes in the expected outcome.

The following sections include descriptions of certain matters that could impact the Partnership’s financial position, results of operations and/or cash flows in future periods. The sections below also include updates to certain matters that have previously been disclosed, even if those matters are not anticipated to have a potentially significant impact on future periods. In addition to the matters disclosed below, the Partnership is also involved in multiple other matters that could impact future periods, including other lawsuits and arbitration related to the Partnership’s commercial agreements. With respect to such matters, contingencies that met both the probable and reasonably estimable criteria have been included in the accruals disclosed above, and the range of additional losses disclosed above also reflects any relevant amounts for such matters.

Dakota Access Pipeline

On July 27, 2016, the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe (“SRST”) filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia (“District Court”) challenging permits issued by the United States Army Corps of Engineers (“USACE”) that allowed Dakota Access to cross the Missouri River at Lake Oahe in North Dakota. The case was subsequently amended to challenge an easement issued by the USACE that allowed the pipeline to cross land owned by the USACE adjacent to the Missouri River. Dakota Access and the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe (“CRST”) intervened. Separate lawsuits filed by the Oglala Sioux Tribe (“OST”) and the Yankton Sioux Tribe (“YST”) were consolidated with this action and several individual tribal members intervened (collectively, with SRST and CRST, the “Tribes”). On March 25, 2020, the District Court remanded the case back to the USACE for preparation of an Environment Impact Statement (“EIS”). On July 6, 2020, the District Court vacated the easement and ordered Dakota Access to be shut down and emptied of oil by August 5, 2020. Dakota Access and the USACE appealed to the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia (“Court of Appeals”) which granted an administrative stay of the District Court’s July 6 order and ordered further briefing on whether to fully stay the July 6 order. On August 5, 2020, the Court of Appeals 1) granted a stay of the portion of the District Court order that required Dakota Access to shut the pipeline down and empty it of oil, 2) denied a motion to stay the March 25 order pending a decision on the merits by the Court of Appeals as to whether the USACE would be required to prepare an EIS, and 3) denied a motion to stay the District Court’s order to vacate the easement during this appeal process. The August 5 order also states that the Court of Appeals expected the USACE to clarify its position with respect to whether USACE intended to allow the continued operation of the pipeline notwithstanding the vacatur of the easement and that the District Court may consider additional relief, if necessary.

On August 10, 2020, the District Court ordered the USACE to submit a status report by August 31, 2020, clarifying its position with regard to its decision-making process with respect to the continued operation of the pipeline. On August 31, 2020, the USACE submitted a status report that indicated that it considered the presence of the pipeline at the Lake Oahe crossing without an easement to constitute an encroachment on federal land, and that it was still considering whether to exercise its enforcement discretion regarding this encroachment. The Tribes subsequently filed a motion seeking an injunction to stop the operation of the pipeline and both USACE and Dakota Access filed briefs in opposition of the motion for injunction. The motion for injunction was fully briefed as of January 8, 2021.

On January 26, 2021, the Court of Appeals affirmed the District Court’s March 25, 2020 order requiring an EIS and its July 6, 2020 order vacating the easement. In this same January 26 order, the Court of Appeals also overturned the District Court’s July 6, 2020 order that the pipeline shut down and be emptied of oil. Dakota Access filed for rehearing en banc on April 12, 2021, which the Court of Appeals denied. On September 20, 2021, Dakota Access filed a petition with the U.S. Supreme Court to hear the case. Oppositions were filed by the Solicitor General (December 17, 2021) and the Tribes (December 16, 2021). Dakota Access filed their reply on January 4, 2022. On February 22, 2022, the U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear the case.

The District Court scheduled a status conference for February 10, 2021 to discuss the effects of the Court of Appeals’ January 26, 2021 order on the pending motion for injunctive relief, as well as USACE’s expectations as to how it will proceed regarding its enforcement discretion regarding the easement. On May 3, 2021, USACE advised the District Court that it had not changed its position with respect to its opposition to the Tribes’ motion for injunction. On May 21, 2021, the District Court denied the plaintiffs’ request for an injunction. On June 22, 2021, the District Court terminated the consolidated lawsuits and dismissed all remaining outstanding counts without prejudice.

The pipeline continues to operate pending completion of the EIS. Energy Transfer anticipates the draft EIS will be completed and published by the USACE in the Spring of 2023, subject to additional delays by the USACE. The release of the draft EIS was paused following the SRST’s withdrawal as a cooperating agency on January 20, 2022. However, the pause has since been lifted and the USACE expects to release the draft EIS in the spring of 2023. Energy Transfer cannot determine when or how future lawsuits will be resolved or the impact they may have on the Dakota Access pipelines; however, Energy Transfer expects after the law and complete record are fully considered, any such proceeding will be resolved in a manner that will allow the pipeline to continue to operate.

In addition, lawsuits and/or regulatory proceedings or actions of this or a similar nature could result in interruptions to construction or operations of current or future projects, delays in completing those projects and/or increased project costs, all of which could have an adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

Mont Belvieu Incident

On June 26, 2016, a hydrocarbon storage well located on another operator’s facility adjacent to Lone Star NGL Mont Belvieu LP’s (“Lone Star”), now known as Energy Transfer Mont Belvieu NGLs LP, facilities in Mont Belvieu, Texas experienced an over-pressurization resulting in a subsurface release. The subsurface release caused a fire at Lone Star’s South Terminal and damage to Lone Star’s storage well operations at its South and North Terminals. Normal operations resumed at the facilities in the fall of 2016, with the exception of one of Lone Star’s storage wells at the North Terminal that has not been returned to service. Lone Star has obtained payment for most of the losses it has submitted to the adjacent operator. Lone Star continues to quantify and seek reimbursement for outstanding losses.

MTBE Litigation

ETC Sunoco and Energy Transfer R&M (collectively, “Sunoco Defendants”) are defendants in lawsuits alleging MTBE contamination of groundwater. The plaintiffs, state-level governmental entities, assert product liability, nuisance, trespass, negligence, violation of environmental laws, and/or deceptive business practices claims. The plaintiffs seek to recover compensatory damages, and in some cases also seek natural resource damages, injunctive relief, punitive damages, and attorneys’ fees.

As of September 30, 2022, Sunoco Defendants are defendants in four cases, including one case initiated by the State of Maryland, one by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and two by the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. The more recent Puerto Rico action is a companion case alleging damages for additional sites beyond those at issue in the initial Puerto Rico action. The actions brought by the State of Maryland and Commonwealth of Pennsylvania have also named as defendants ETO, ETP Holdco, and Sunoco Partners Marketing & Terminals L.P., now known as Energy Transfer Marketing & Terminals L.P.

It is reasonably possible that a loss may be realized in the remaining cases; however, we are unable to estimate the possible loss or range of loss in excess of amounts accrued. An adverse determination with respect to one or more of the MTBE cases could have a significant impact on results of operations during the period in which any such adverse determination occurs, but such an adverse determination likely would not have a material adverse effect on the Partnership’s consolidated financial position.

Litigation Filed By or Against Williams

In April and May 2016, The William Companies, Inc. (“Williams”) filed two lawsuits (the “Williams Litigation”) against Energy Transfer, LE GP, LLC, and, in one of the lawsuits, Energy Transfer Corp LP, ETE Corp GP, LLC, and Energy Transfer Equity GP, LLC (collectively, “Energy Transfer Defendants”), alleging that Energy Transfer Defendants breached their obligations under the Energy Transfer-Williams merger agreement (the “Merger Agreement”). In general, Williams alleges that Energy Transfer Defendants breached the Merger Agreement by (a) failing to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain from Latham & Watkins LLP (“Latham”) the delivery of a tax opinion concerning Section 721 of the Internal Revenue Code (“721 Opinion”), (b) issuing the Partnership’s Series A convertible preferred units (the “Issuance”), and (c) making allegedly untrue representations and warranties in the Merger Agreement.

After a two-day trial on June 20 and 21, 2016, the Court ruled in favor of Energy Transfer Defendants and issued a declaratory judgment that Energy Transfer could terminate the merger after June 28, 2016 because of Latham’s inability to provide the required 721 Opinion. The Court did not reach a decision regarding Williams’ claims related to the Issuance nor certain of the alleged untrue representations and warranties. On March 23, 2017, the Delaware Supreme Court affirmed the Court’s ruling on the June 2016 trial. In September 2016, the parties filed amended pleadings. Williams filed an amended complaint seeking a $410 million termination fee (the “Termination Fee”) based on the alleged breaches of the Merger Agreement listed above. Energy Transfer Defendants filed amended counterclaims and affirmative defenses, asserting that Williams materially breached the Merger Agreement by, among other things, (a) failing to use its reasonable best efforts to consummate the merger, (b) failing to provide material information to Energy Transfer for inclusion in the Form S-4 related to the merger, (c) failing to facilitate the financing of the merger, and (d) breaching the Merger Agreement’s forum-selection clause.

Trial was held regarding the parties’ amended claims on May 10-17, 2021, and on December 29, 2021, the Court ruled in favor of Williams and awarded it the Termination Fee plus certain fees and expenses, holding that the Issuance breached the Merger Agreement and that Williams had not materially breached the Merger Agreement, though the Court awarded sanctions against Williams due to its CEO’s intentional spoliation of evidence. The Court subsequently awarded Williams approximately $190 million in attorneys’ fees, expenses and pre-judgment interest.

On September 21, 2022, the Court entered a final judgment against the Energy Transfer Defendants in the amount of approximately $601 million plus post-judgment interest at a rate of 3.5% per year. The Energy Transfer Defendants filed the notice of appeal of this matter on October 21, 2022.

Rover - State of Ohio

On November 3, 2017, the State of Ohio and the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency (together “the Ohio EPA”) filed suit against Rover and five other defendants seeking to recover civil penalties allegedly owed and certain injunctive relief related to permit compliance. The defendants filed several motions to dismiss, which were granted on all counts. The Ohio EPA appealed, and on December 9, 2019, the Fifth District Court of Appeals entered a unanimous judgment affirming the trial court. The Ohio EPA sought review from the Ohio Supreme Court, which the defendants opposed in briefs filed in February 2020. On April 22, 2020, the Ohio Supreme Court granted the Ohio EPA’s request for review. On March 17, 2022, the Ohio Supreme Court reversed in part and remanded to the Ohio trial court. The Ohio Supreme Court agreed with Rover that the State of Ohio had waived its rights under Section 401 of the Clean Water Act but remanded to the trial court to determine whether any of the allegations fell outside the scope of the waiver.

On remand, the Ohio EPA voluntarily dismissed four of the other five defendants and dismissed one if its counts against Rover. In its Fourth Amended Complaint, the Ohio EPA removed all paragraphs that alleged violations by the four dismissed defendants, including those where the dismissed defendants were alleged to have acted jointly with Rover or others. At a June 2, 2022, status conference, the trial judge set a schedule for Rover and the other remaining defendant to file motions to dismiss the Fourth Amended Complaint. On August 1, 2022, Rover and the other remaining defendant each filed their respective motions. On October 2, 2022, the State of Ohio filed its Reply. Replies are due on November 4, 2022.

Revolution

On September 10, 2018, a pipeline release and fire (the “Incident”) occurred on the Revolution pipeline, a natural gas gathering line located in Center Township, Beaver County, Pennsylvania. There were no injuries.

The Pennsylvania Office of Attorney General (“PA AG”) commenced an investigation regarding the Incident, and the United States Attorney for the Western District of Pennsylvania issued a federal grand jury subpoena for documents relevant to the Incident.

On February 2, 2022, the PA AG issued a press release related to the Revolution pipeline, and released a Grand Jury Presentment and filed a criminal complaint against ETC Northeast Pipeline, LLC in Magisterial District Court No. 12-2-02 in Dauphin County, Pennsylvania, with respect to nine misdemeanor charges related to various alleged violations of the Clean Streams Law associated with the construction of the Revolution pipeline.

On August 5, 2022, the PA AG held a press conference to announce that the matter had been resolved through an agreement whereby ETC Northeast Pipeline, LLC entered a plea of no contest to all charges. The resolution also included terms that the company would pay a $22,500 fine to the Clean Water Fund at the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, and jointly with SPLP to pay certain funds to support water quality improvement projects (see below). The plea agreement was entered by court on August 12, 2022, and the matter is now closed.

Chester County, Pennsylvania Investigation

In December 2018, the former Chester County District Attorney (the “Chester County DA”) sent a letter to the Partnership stating that his office was investigating the Partnership and related entities for “potential crimes” related to the Mariner East pipelines.

Subsequently, the matter was submitted to an Investigating Grand Jury in Chester County, Pennsylvania, which has issued subpoenas seeking documents and testimony. On September 24, 2019, the Chester County DA sent a Notice of Intent to the Partnership of its intent to pursue an abatement action if certain conditions were not remediated. The Partnership responded to the Notice of Intent within the prescribed time period.

In December 2019, the Chester County DA announced charges against a current employee related to the provision of security services. On June 25, 2020, a preliminary hearing was held on the charges against the employee, and the judge dismissed all charges.

On April 22, 2021, the Chester County DA filed a Complaint and Consent Decree in the Court of Common Pleas of Chester County, Pennsylvania constituting a settlement agreement between the Chester County DA and the Partnership. A status conference was held on May 10, 2021, and an Amended Consent Decree was filed on June 16, 2021, which was approved and entered by the Court on December 20, 2021. In accordance with the terms of the Amended Consent Decree, when the Mariner East 2/Mariner East 2X pipelines reached the point of mechanical completion in Chester County on March 23, 2022, the Amended Consent Decree terminated, which the Partnership communicated to the Chester County DA via letter on March 29, 2022. A Joint Motion for Termination of the Amended Consent Decree was filed on August 26, 2022.

Delaware County, Pennsylvania Investigation

On March 11, 2019, the Delaware County District Attorney’s Office (the “Delaware County DA”) announced that the Delaware County DA and the PA AG, at the request of the Delaware County DA, are conducting an investigation of alleged criminal misconduct involving the construction and related activities of the Mariner East pipelines in Delaware County. On March 16, 2020, the PA AG served a Statewide Investigating Grand Jury subpoena for documents relating to inadvertent returns and water supplies related to the Mariner East pipelines. The Partnership has complied with the subpoena. On October 5, 2021, the PA AG held a press conference related to the Mariner East pipelines, released a Grand Jury Presentment and subsequently filed a criminal complaint against Energy Transfer in the Magisterial District Court No. 12-2-02 in Dauphin County, Pennsylvania with respect to 47 misdemeanor charges related to the discharge of industrial waste and pollution and one felony charge related to the failure to report information related to the discharges.

On August 5, 2022, the PA AG held a press conference to announce that the matter had been resolved through an agreement whereby SPLP entered a plea of no contest to 14 of the misdemeanor charges, with the remaining charges being dismissed. The resolution also included terms that the company would pay a $35,000 fine to the Clean Water Fund at the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, and jointly with ETC Northeast Pipeline, LLC to resolve a parallel action by the PA AG’s office (see above), would establish a fund of $442,500 to create a Homeowner Well Water Supply Grievance Program and pay $10 million to support water quality improvement projects. The plea agreement was entered by the court on August 12, 2022, and the matter is now closed.

Shareholder Litigation Regarding Pipeline Construction

Various purported unitholders of Energy Transfer have filed derivative actions against various past and current members of Energy Transfer’s Board of Directors, LE GP, LLC, and Energy Transfer, as a nominal defendant that assert claims for breach of fiduciary duties, unjust enrichment, waste of corporate assets, breach of Energy Transfer’s limited partnership agreement, tortious interference, abuse of control, and gross mismanagement related primarily to matters involving the

construction of pipelines in Pennsylvania and Ohio. They also seek damages and changes to Energy Transfer’s corporate governance structure. See Bettiol v. LE GP, Case No. 3:19-cv-02890-X (N.D. Tex.); Davidson v. Kelcy L. Warren, Cause No. DC-20-02322 (44th Judicial District of Dallas County, Texas); Harris v. Kelcy L. Warren, Case No. 2:20-cv-00364-GAM (E.D. Pa.); King v. LE GP, Case No. 3:20-cv-00719-X (N.D. Tex.); Inter-Marketing Group USA, Inc. v. LE GP, et at., Case No. 2022-0139-SG (Del. Ch.); Elliot v. LE GP LLC, Case No. 3:22-cv-01527-B (N.D. Tex.); Chapa v. Kelcy L. Warren, et al., Index No. 611307/2022 (N.Y. Sup. Ct.); Elliott v. LE GP et al, Cause No. DC-22-14194 (Dallas County, Tex.). The King action has been consolidated with the Bettiol action.

Another purported unitholder of Energy Transfer, Allegheny County Employees’ Retirement System (“ACERS”), individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated, filed a suit under the federal securities laws purportedly on behalf of a class, against Energy Transfer and three of Energy Transfer’s directors, Kelcy L. Warren, John W. McReynolds, and Thomas E. Long. See Allegheny County Emps.’ Ret. Sys. v. Energy Transfer LP, Case No. 2:20-00200-GAM (E.D. Pa.). On June 15, 2020, ACERS filed an amended complaint and added as additional defendants Energy Transfer directors Marshall McCrea and Matthew Ramsey, as well as Michael J. Hennigan and Joseph McGinn. The amended complaint asserts claims for violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder related primarily to matters involving the construction of pipelines in Pennsylvania. On August 14, 2020, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss ACERS’ amended complaint. On April 6, 2021, the court granted in part and denied in part the defendants’ motion to dismiss. The court held that ACERS could proceed with its claims regarding certain statements put at issue by the amended complaint while also dismissing claims based on other statements. The court also dismissed without prejudice the claims against defendants McReynolds, McGinn, and Hennigan. Fact discovery is ongoing. On August 23, 2022, the Court granted in part and denied in part ACERS’ motion for class certification. The Court certified a class consisting of those who purchased or otherwise acquired common units of ET between February 25, 2017 and November 11, 2019.

On June 3, 2022, another purported unitholder of Energy Transfer, Mike Vega, filed suit, purportedly on behalf of a class, against Energy Transfer, Energy Transfer’s CFO Brad Whitehurst, and Messrs. Warren, Long, and McCrea. See Vega v. Energy Transfer LP et al., Case No. 1:22-cv-4614 (S.D.N.Y.). The action asserts claims for violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder related primarily to statements made in connection with the construction of the Rover pipeline project.

On August 10, 2022, the Court appointed the New Mexico State Investment Council and Public Employees Retirement Association of New Mexico (the “New Mexico Funds”) as lead plaintiffs. New Mexico Funds filed an amended complaint on September 30, 2022 and added as additional defendants Energy Transfer directors John W. McReynolds and Matthew S. Ramsey.

The defendants cannot predict the outcome of these lawsuits or any lawsuits that might be filed subsequent to the date of this filing; nor can the defendants predict the amount of time and expense that will be required to resolve these lawsuits. However, the defendants believe that the claims are without merit and intend to vigorously contest them.

Cline Class Action

On July 7, 2017, Perry Cline filed a class action complaint in the Eastern District of Oklahoma against Sunoco, Inc. (R&M), LLC (now known as Energy Transfer R&M) and Energy Transfer Marketing & Terminals L.P. (collectively, “ETMT”) that alleged ETMT failed to make timely payments of oil and gas proceeds from Oklahoma wells and to pay statutory interest for those untimely payments. On October 3, 2019, the Court certified a class to include all persons who received untimely payments from Oklahoma wells on or after July 7, 2012, and who have not already been paid statutory interest on the untimely payments (the “Class”). Excluded from the Class are those entitled to payments of proceeds that qualify as “minimum pay,” prior period adjustments, and pass through payments, as well as governmental agencies and publicly traded oil and gas companies.

After a bench trial, on August 17, 2020, Judge John Gibney (sitting from the Eastern District of Virginia) issued an opinion that awarded the Class actual damages of $74.8 million for late payment interest for identified and unidentified royalty owners and interest-on-interest. This amount was later amended to $80.7 million to account for interest accrued from trial (the “Order”). Judge Gibney also awarded punitive damages in the amount of $75 million. The Class is also seeking attorneys’ fees.

On August 27, 2020, ETMT filed its Notice of Appeal with the 10th Circuit and appealed the entirety of the Order. The matter was fully briefed, and oral argument was set for November 15, 2021. However, on November 1, 2021, the 10th Circuit dismissed the appeal due to jurisdictional concerns with finality of the Order. En banc rehearing of this decision was denied on November 29, 2021. On December 1, 2021, ETMT filed a Petition for Writ of Mandamus to the 10th Circuit to correct the jurisdictional problems and secure final judgment. On February 2, 2022, the 10th Circuit denied the Petition

for Writ of Mandamus, citing that there are other avenues for ETMT to obtain adequate relief. On February 10, 2022, ETMT filed a Motion to Modify the Plan of Allocation Order and Issue a Rule 58 Judgment with the trial court, requesting the district court to enter a final judgment in compliance with the Rules. ETMT also filed an injunction with the trial court to enjoin all efforts by plaintiffs to execute on any non-final judgment. On March 31, 2022, Judge Gibney denied the Motion to Modify the Plan of Allocation, reiterating his thoughts that the order constitutes a final judgment. Judge Gibney granted the injunction in part (placing a hold on enforcement efforts for 60 days) and denied the injunction in part. The injunction has since been lifted.

Despite the fact that ETMT has taken the position that the judgment is not final and not subject to execution, the Class is now engaging in asset discovery and is actively trying to collect on the judgment through garnishment proceedings. ETMT filed a request for an emergency stay of execution to the United States Supreme Court, which was denied on September 8, 2022. To stop the garnishment proceedings, on October 11, 2022, ETMT filed an Emergency Motion for Leave to Deposit Funds in the Court’s Registry in the amount of $161 million, the full amount of the judgment with attorney’s fees and post-judgment interest. ETMT did so without waiving its ability to pursue its pending appeal or its right to appeal the merits of the judgment. The Court heard this Motion on October 25, 2022, and ETMT is awaiting the Magistrate Judge’s issuance of the report and recommendation to the District Court.

ETMT cannot predict the outcome of the case, nor can ETMT predict the amount of time and expense that will be required to resolve the appeal. A Petition for Writ of Certiorari was filed with the United States Supreme Court on April 28, 2022, seeking review of the 10th Circuit’s dismissal of ETMT’s appeal. The Supreme Court denied ETMT’s Petition on October 3, 2022. Despite the denial of its Petition for Writ of Certiorari, ETMT is still vigorously appealing the finality issues underlying the Order and has appealed the denial of the Motion to Modify to the 10th Circuit in an attempt to get a decision on finality. ETMT filed its opening brief with the 10th Circuit on September 13, 2022, and Plaintiff’s response was filed on October 13, 2022. ETMT’s reply brief is due on November 3, 2022.

Energy Transfer LP and ETC Texas Pipeline, Ltd. v. Culberson Midstream LLC, et al.

On April 8, 2022, Energy Transfer LP (“Energy Transfer”) and ETC Texas Pipeline, Ltd. (“ETC,” and together with Energy Transfer, “Plaintiffs”) filed suit against Culberson Midstream LLC (“Culberson”), Culberson Midstream Equity, LLC (“Culberson Equity”), and Moontower Resources Gathering, LLC (“Moontower,” and together with Culberson and Culberson Equity, “Defendants”). On October 1, 2018, ETC and Culberson entered into a Gas Gathering and Processing Agreement (the “Bypass GGPA”) under which Culberson was to gather gas from its dedicated acreage and deliver all committed gas exclusively to ETC. In connection with the Bypass GGPA, on October 18, 2018, Energy Transfer and Culberson Equity also entered into an Option Agreement. Under the Option Agreement, Culberson Equity and Moontower had the right (but not the obligation) to require Energy Transfer to purchase their respective interests in Culberson by way of a put option. Notably, the Option Agreement is only enforceable so long as the parties comply with the Bypass GGPA. In late March 2022, Culberson Equity and Moontower submitted a put notice to Energy Transfer seeking to require Energy Transfer to purchase their respective interests in Culberson for approximately $93 million. On April 8, 2022, Plaintiffs filed suit against Defendants asserting claims for declaratory judgment and breach of contract. Plaintiffs contend that Defendants materially breached the Bypass GGPA by sending some committed gas to third parties and also by failing to send any gas to Plaintiffs since March 2020, and thus that Defendants' put notice is void. Defendants have answered the lawsuit. Culberson filed a counterclaim against ETC for breach of the Bypass GGPA, seeking the recovery of damages and attorneys’ fees. Culberson Equity and Moontower also filed a counterclaim against Energy Transfer for (1) breach of the Option Agreement, and (2) a declaratory judgment concerning Energy Transfer’s alleged obligation to purchase the Culberson interests. The lawsuit is pending in the 193rd Judicial District Court in Dallas County, Texas. On April 27, 2022, Defendants filed an application for a temporary restraining order, temporary injunction, and permanent injunction. The Court held a hearing on the application on April 28 and denied the injunction. In early May, Culberson filed a motion to enforce the appraisal process and confirm the validity of their put price calculation, to which Plaintiffs objected. On July 11, 2022, the Court held a hearing on the motion, and on July 19, 2022, the Court ordered the parties to engage in an appraisal process regarding the put price. An independent appraiser was appointed and issued his decision on October 15, 2022, concluding that the Put Price totals $93,064,891. Plaintiffs have consistently reiterated their objection to the appraisal process. Plaintiffs cannot predict the ultimate outcome of this litigation or the amount of time and expense that will be required to resolve it.

Massachusetts Attorney General v. New England Gas Company

On July 7, 2011, the Massachusetts Attorney General (the “MA AG”) filed a regulatory complaint with the Massachusetts Department of Public Utilities (“DPU”) against New England Gas Company (“NEG”) with respect to certain environmental cost recoveries. NEG was an operating division of Southern Union Company (“SUG”), and the NEG assets were acquired in connection with the merger transaction with Energy Transfer in March 2012. Subsequent to the merger, in

2013, SUG sold the NEG assets to Liberty Utilities (“Liberty,” and together with NEG and SUG, “Respondents”) and retained certain potential liabilities, including the environmental cost recoveries with respect to the pending complaint before the DPU. Specifically, the MA AG seeks a refund to NEG’s ratepayers for approximately $18 million in legal fees associated with SUG environmental response activities. The MA AG requests that the DPU initiate an investigation into NEG’s collection and reconciliation of recoverable environmental costs, namely: (1) the legal fees charged by the Kasowitz, Benson, Torres & Friedman firm and passed through the recovery mechanism since 2005; (2) the legal fees charged by the Bishop, London & Dodds firm and passed through the recovery mechanisms since 2005; and (3) the legal fees passed through the recovery mechanism that the MA AG contends only qualify for a lesser (i.e., 50 percent) level of recovery. Respondents maintain that, by tariff, these costs are recoverable through rates charged to NEG customers pursuant to the environmental remediation adjustment clause program. After the Respondents answered the complaint and filed a motion to dismiss in 2011, the Hearing Officer deferred decision on the motion to dismiss and issued a stay of discovery pending resolution of a discovery dispute, which it later lifted on June 24, 2013, permitting the case to resume. However, the MA AG failed to take any further steps to prosecute its claims for nearly seven years. The case remained largely dormant until February 2022, when the Hearing Officer denied the motion to dismiss. After receiving input from the parties, the Hearing Officer entered a procedural schedule on March 16, 2022 (which was amended slightly on August 22, 2022). The parties are now actively engaged in discovery and the preparation of pre-filed testimony. Respondents submitted their pre-filed testimony on July 11, 2022. The MA AG served three sets of discovery requests on Respondents on September 9, September 12, and September 20, respectively, to which Respondents timely responded. On October 5, 2022, the MA AG requested that the DPU issue a ruling on whether the information that Respondents redacted in their attorneys’ fees invoices is protected by the attorney-client privilege. On the same day, the MA AG also filed a Motion to Stay the Procedural Schedule pending a ruling on the privilege issue. On October 6, 2022, without even affording Respondents the opportunity to respond, the DPU granted the MA AG’s request to stay the procedural schedule. Accordingly, all previous deadlines (including the MA AG’s October 7, 2022, deadline to submit direct pre-filed testimony) are presently stayed. Respondents cannot predict the ultimate outcome of this regulatory proceeding, nor can they predict the amount of time and expense that will be required to resolve these claims; however, Respondents will vigorously defend themselves against the MA AG’s claims.

Environmental Matters

Our operations are subject to extensive federal, tribal, state and local environmental and safety laws and regulations that require expenditures to ensure compliance, including related to air emissions and wastewater discharges, at operating facilities and for remediation at current and former facilities as well as waste disposal sites. Historically, our environmental compliance costs have not had a material adverse effect on our results of operations but there can be no assurance that such costs will not be material in the future or that such future compliance with existing, amended or new legal requirements will not have a material adverse effect on our business and operating results. Costs of planning, designing, constructing and operating pipelines, plants and other facilities must incorporate compliance with environmental laws and regulations and safety standards. Failure to comply with these laws and regulations may result in the assessment of administrative, civil and criminal penalties, the imposition of investigatory, remedial and corrective action obligations, natural resource damages, the issuance of injunctions in affected areas and the filing of federally authorized citizen suits. Contingent losses related to all significant known environmental matters have been accrued and/or separately disclosed. However, we may revise accrual amounts prior to resolution of a particular contingency based on changes in facts and circumstances or changes in the expected outcome.

Environmental exposures and liabilities are difficult to assess and estimate due to unknown factors such as the magnitude of possible contamination, the timing and extent of remediation, the determination of our liability in proportion to other parties, improvements in cleanup technologies and the extent to which environmental laws and regulations may change in the future. Although environmental costs may have a significant impact on our results of operations for any single period, we believe that such costs will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position.

Based on information available at this time and reviews undertaken to identify potential exposure, we believe the amount reserved for environmental matters is adequate to cover the potential exposure for cleanup costs.

Environmental Remediation

Our subsidiaries are responsible for environmental remediation at certain sites, including the following:

•certain of our interstate pipelines conduct soil and groundwater remediation related to contamination from past uses of polychlorinated biphenyls (“PCBs”). PCB assessments are ongoing and, in some cases, our subsidiaries could be contractually responsible for contamination caused by other parties.

•certain gathering and processing systems are responsible for soil and groundwater remediation related to releases of hydrocarbons.

•legacy sites related to Sunoco, Inc. are subject to environmental assessments, including formerly owned terminals and other logistics assets, retail sites that the Partnership no longer operates, closed and/or sold refineries and other formerly owned sites.

•the Partnership is potentially subject to joint and several liability for the costs of remediation at sites at which it has been identified as a potentially responsible party (“PRP”). As of September 30, 2022, the Partnership had been named as a PRP at approximately 34 identified or potentially identifiable “Superfund” sites under federal and/or comparable state law. The Partnership is usually one of a number of companies identified as a PRP at a site. The Partnership has reviewed the nature and extent of its involvement at each site and other relevant circumstances and, based upon the Partnership’s purported nexus to the sites, believes that its potential liability associated with such sites will not be significant.

To the extent estimable, expected remediation costs are included in the amounts recorded for environmental matters in our consolidated balance sheets. In some circumstances, future costs cannot be reasonably estimated because remediation activities are undertaken as claims are made by customers and former customers. To the extent that an environmental remediation obligation is recorded by a subsidiary that applies regulatory accounting policies, amounts that are expected to be recoverable through tariffs or rates are recorded as regulatory assets on our consolidated balance sheets.

The table below reflects the amounts of accrued liabilities recorded in our consolidated balance sheets related to environmental matters that are considered to be probable and reasonably estimable. Currently, we are not able to estimate possible losses or a range of possible losses in excess of amounts accrued. Except for matters discussed above, we do not have any material environmental matters assessed as reasonably possible that require disclosure in our consolidated financial statements.

	September 30, 2022		December 31, 2021
Current	$	46	$	46
Non-current	231		247
Total environmental liabilities	$	277	$	293

We have established a wholly-owned captive insurance company to bear certain risks associated with environmental obligations related to certain sites that are no longer operating. The premiums paid to the captive insurance company include estimates for environmental claims that have been incurred but not reported, based on an actuarially determined fully developed claims expense estimate. In such cases, we accrue losses attributable to unasserted claims based on the discounted estimates that are used to develop the premiums paid to the captive insurance company.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Partnership recorded $8 million and $18 million, respectively, of expenditures related to environmental cleanup programs.

Our pipeline operations are subject to regulation by the DOT under PHMSA, pursuant to which PHMSA has established requirements relating to the design, installation, testing, construction, operation, replacement and management of pipeline facilities. Moreover, PHMSA, through the Office of Pipeline Safety, has promulgated a rule requiring pipeline operators to develop integrity management programs to comprehensively evaluate their pipelines, and take measures to protect pipeline segments located in what the rule refers to as “high consequence areas.” Activities under these integrity management programs involve the performance of internal pipeline inspections, pressure testing or other effective means to assess the integrity of these regulated pipeline segments, and the regulations require prompt action to address integrity issues raised by the assessment and analysis. Integrity testing and assessment of all of these assets will continue, and the potential exists that results of such testing and assessment could cause us to incur future capital and operating expenditures for repairs or upgrades deemed necessary to ensure the continued safe and reliable operation of our pipelines; however, no estimate can be made at this time of the likely range of such expenditures.

Our operations are also subject to the requirements of OSHA, and comparable state laws that regulate the protection of the health and safety of employees. In addition, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s hazardous communication standard requires that information be maintained about hazardous materials used or produced in our operations and that this information be provided to employees, state and local government authorities and citizens. We believe that our past costs for OSHA required activities, including general industry standards, record keeping requirements,

and monitoring of occupational exposure to regulated substances have not had a material adverse effect on our results of operations but there is no assurance that such costs will not be material in the future.

Revenue [Abstract]

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Text Block]

REVENUE

Disaggregation of Revenue

The Partnership’s consolidated financial statements reflect eight reportable segments, which also represent the level at which the Partnership aggregates revenue for disclosure purposes. Note 13 depicts the disaggregation of revenue by segment.

Contract Balances with Customers

The Partnership satisfies its obligations by transferring goods or services in exchange for consideration from customers. The timing of performance may differ from the timing the associated consideration is paid to or received from the customer, thus resulting in the recognition of a contract asset or a contract liability.

The Partnership recognizes a contract asset when making upfront consideration payments to certain customers or when providing services to customers prior to the time at which the Partnership is contractually allowed to bill for such services.

The Partnership recognizes a contract liability if the customer’s payment of consideration precedes the Partnership’s fulfillment of the performance obligations. Certain contracts contain provisions requiring customers to pay a fixed minimum fee, but allow customers to apply such fees against services to be provided at a future point in time. These amounts are reflected as deferred revenue until the customer applies the deficiency fees to services provided or becomes unable to use the fees as payment for future services due to expiration of the contractual period the fees can be applied or physical inability of the customer to utilize the fees due to capacity constraints. Additionally, Sunoco LP maintains some franchise agreements requiring dealers to make one-time upfront payments for long-term license agreements. Sunoco LP recognizes a contract liability when the upfront payment is received and recognizes revenue over the term of the license.

The following table summarizes the consolidated activity of our contract liabilities:

	Contract Liabilities
Balance, December 31, 2021	$	459
Additions	815
Revenue recognized	(688)
Other	(13)
Balance, September 30, 2022	$	573
Balance, December 31, 2020	$	309
Additions	611
Revenue recognized	(512)
Balance, September 30, 2021	$	408

The balances of Sunoco LP’s contract assets were as follows:

	September 30, 2022		December 31, 2021
Contract balances:
Contract assets	$	182	$	157
Accounts receivable from contracts with customers	631		463

Performance Obligations

At contract inception, the Partnership assesses the goods and services promised in its contracts with customers and identifies a performance obligation for each promise to transfer a good or service (or bundle of goods or services) that is distinct. To identify the performance obligations, the Partnership considers all the goods or services promised in the contract, whether explicitly stated or implied based on customary business practices. For a contract that has more than one

performance obligation, the Partnership allocates the total expected contract consideration to each distinct performance obligation based on a standalone-selling price basis. Revenue is recognized when (or as) the performance obligations are satisfied, that is, when the customer obtains control of the good or service. Certain of our contracts contain variable components, which, when combined with the fixed component, are considered a single performance obligation. For these types of contacts, only the fixed components of the contracts are included in the table below.

As of September 30, 2022, the aggregate amount of transaction price allocated to unsatisfied (or partially satisfied) performance obligations was $37.96 billion. The Partnership expects to recognize this amount as revenue within the time bands illustrated below:

	Years Ending December 31,

General Discussion of Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities [Abstract]

Derivative Assets And Liabilities

DERIVATIVE ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

Commodity Price Risk

We are exposed to market risks related to the volatility of commodity prices. To manage the impact of volatility from these prices, we utilize various exchange-traded and OTC commodity financial instrument contracts. These contracts consist primarily of futures, swaps and options and are recorded at fair value in our consolidated balance sheets.

We use futures and basis swaps, designated as fair value hedges, to hedge our natural gas inventory stored in our Bammel storage facility. At hedge inception, we lock in a margin by purchasing gas in the spot market or off peak season and entering into a financial contract. Changes in the spreads between the forward natural gas prices and the physical inventory spot price result in unrealized gains or losses until the underlying physical gas is withdrawn and the related designated derivatives are settled. Once the gas is withdrawn and the designated derivatives are settled, the previously unrealized gains or losses associated with these positions are realized.

We use futures, swaps and options to hedge the sales price of natural gas we retain for fees in our intrastate transportation and storage segment and operational gas sales in our interstate transportation and storage segment. These contracts are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes.

We use NGL and crude derivative swap contracts to hedge forecasted sales of NGL and condensate equity volumes we retain for fees in our midstream segment whereby our subsidiaries generally gather and process natural gas on behalf of producers, sell the resulting residue gas and NGL volumes at market prices and remit to producers an agreed upon percentage of the proceeds based on an index price for the residue gas and NGL. These contracts are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes.

We utilize swaps, futures and other derivative instruments to mitigate the risk associated with market movements in the price of refined products and NGLs to manage our storage facilities and the purchase and sale of purity NGL. These contracts are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes.

We use futures and swaps to achieve ratable pricing of crude oil purchases, to convert certain expected refined product sales to fixed or floating prices, to lock in margins for certain refined products and to lock in the price of a portion of natural gas purchases or sales. These contracts are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes.

We use financial commodity derivatives to take advantage of market opportunities in our trading activities which complement our transportation and storage segment’s operations and are netted in cost of products sold in our consolidated statements of operations. We also have trading and marketing activities related to power and natural gas in our all other segment which are also netted in cost of products sold. As a result of our trading activities and the use of derivative financial instruments in our transportation and storage segment, the degree of earnings volatility that can occur may be significant, favorably or unfavorably, from period to period. We attempt to manage this volatility through the use of daily position and profit and loss reports provided to our risk oversight committee, which includes members of senior management, and the limits and authorizations set forth in our commodity risk management policy.

The following table details our outstanding commodity-related derivatives:

Interest Rate Risk

We are exposed to market risk for changes in interest rates. To maintain a cost effective capital structure, we borrow funds using a mix of fixed rate debt and variable rate debt. We also utilize forward starting interest rate swaps to lock in the rate on a portion of our anticipated debt issuances.

The following table summarizes our interest rate swaps outstanding, none of which were designated as hedges for accounting purposes:

Term	Type(1)	Notional Amount Outstanding
		September 30, 2022		December 31, 2021
July 2022(2)	Forward-starting to pay an average fixed rate of 3.80% and receive a floating rate	$	—	$	400
July 2023(2)	Forward-starting to pay an average fixed rate of 3.845% and receive a floating rate	400		200
July 2024(2)	Forward-starting to pay an average fixed rate of 3.512% and receive a floating rate	400		200

(1)Floating rates are based on either SOFR or 3-month LIBOR.

(2)Represents the effective date. These forward-starting swaps have terms of 30 years with a mandatory termination date the same as the effective date.

Credit Risk

Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty may default on its contractual obligations resulting in a loss to the Partnership. Credit policies have been approved and implemented to govern the Partnership’s portfolio of counterparties with the objective of mitigating credit losses. These policies establish guidelines, controls and limits to manage credit risk within approved tolerances by mandating an appropriate evaluation of the financial condition of existing and potential counterparties, monitoring agency credit ratings, and by implementing credit practices that limit exposure according to the risk profiles of the counterparties. Furthermore, the Partnership may, at times, require collateral under certain circumstances to mitigate credit risk as necessary. The Partnership also uses industry standard commercial agreements which allow for the netting of exposures associated with transactions executed under a single commercial agreement. Additionally, we utilize master netting agreements to offset credit exposure across multiple commercial agreements with a single counterparty or affiliated group of counterparties.

The Partnership’s counterparties consist of a diverse portfolio of customers across the energy industry, including petrochemical companies, commercial and industrial end-users, oil and gas producers, municipalities, gas and electric utilities, midstream companies and independent power generators. Our overall exposure may be affected positively or negatively by macroeconomic or regulatory changes that impact our counterparties to one extent or another. Currently, management does not anticipate a material adverse effect in our financial position or results of operations as a consequence of counterparty non-performance.

The Partnership has maintenance margin deposits with certain counterparties in the OTC market, primarily with independent system operators and with clearing brokers. Payments on margin deposits are required when the value of a derivative exceeds our pre-established credit limit with the counterparty. Margin deposits are returned to us on or about the settlement date for non-exchange traded derivatives, and we exchange margin calls on a daily basis for exchange traded transactions. Since the margin calls are made daily with the exchange brokers, the fair value of the financial derivative instruments are deemed current and netted in deposits paid to vendors within other current assets in the consolidated balance sheets.

For financial instruments, failure of a counterparty to perform on a contract could result in our inability to realize amounts that have been recorded on our consolidated balance sheets and recognized in our statement of operations or statement of comprehensive income.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]

Reportable Segments

REPORTABLE SEGMENTS

Our reportable segments, which conduct their business primarily in the United States, are as follows:

•intrastate transportation and storage;

•interstate transportation and storage;

•midstream;

•NGL and refined products transportation and services;

•crude oil transportation and services;

•investment in Sunoco LP;

•investment in USAC; and

•all other.

Consolidated revenues and expenses reflect the elimination of all material intercompany transactions.

Revenues from our intrastate transportation and storage segment are primarily reflected in natural gas sales and gathering, transportation and other fees. Revenues from our interstate transportation and storage segment are primarily reflected in gathering, transportation and other fees. Revenues from our midstream segment are primarily reflected in natural gas sales, NGL sales and gathering, transportation and other fees. Revenues from our NGL and refined products transportation and services segment are primarily reflected in NGL sales and gathering, transportation and other fees. Revenues from our crude oil transportation and services segment are primarily reflected in crude sales. Revenues from our investment in Sunoco LP segment are primarily reflected in refined product sales. Revenues from our investment in USAC segment are primarily reflected in gathering, transportation and other fees. Revenues from our all other segment are primarily reflected in natural gas sales and gathering, transportation and other fees.

We report Segment Adjusted EBITDA and consolidated Adjusted EBITDA as measures of segment performance. We define Segment Adjusted EBITDA and consolidated 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 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 LIFO. These amounts are unrealized valuation adjustments applied to Sunoco LP’s fuel volumes remaining in inventory at the end of the period.

Segment Adjusted EBITDA and consolidated Adjusted EBITDA reflect 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 Segment Adjusted EBITDA and consolidated 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 Segment Adjusted EBITDA or Adjusted EBITDA related to unconsolidated affiliates as an analytical tool should be limited accordingly.

The following tables present financial information by segment:

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurement, Policy [Policy Text Block]	We have commodity derivatives and interest rate derivatives that are accounted for as assets and liabilities at fair value in our consolidated balance sheets. We determine the fair value of our assets and liabilities subject to fair value measurement by using the highest possible “level” of inputs. Level 1 inputs are observable quotes in an active market for identical assets and liabilities. We consider the valuation of marketable securities and commodity derivatives transacted through a clearing broker with a published price from the appropriate exchange as a Level 1 valuation. Level 2 inputs are inputs observable for similar assets and liabilities. We consider OTC commodity derivatives entered into directly with third parties as a Level 2 valuation since the values of these derivatives are quoted on an exchange for similar transactions. Additionally, we consider options transacted through a clearing broker as having Level 2 inputs due to the level of activity of these contracts on the exchange in which they trade. The valuation methodologies employed for our interest rate derivatives do not necessitate material judgment, and the inputs are observed from actively quoted public markets and therefore are categorized in Level 2. Level 3 inputs are unobservable. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, no transfers were made between any levels within the fair value hierarchy

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]

Revenue [Policy Text Block]

Disaggregation of Revenue

The Partnership’s consolidated financial statements reflect eight reportable segments, which also represent the level at which the Partnership aggregates revenue for disclosure purposes. Note 13 depicts the disaggregation of revenue by segment.

Revenue Recognition, Deferred Revenue [Policy Text Block]

Contract Balances with Customers

The Partnership satisfies its obligations by transferring goods or services in exchange for consideration from customers. The timing of performance may differ from the timing the associated consideration is paid to or received from the customer, thus resulting in the recognition of a contract asset or a contract liability.

The Partnership recognizes a contract asset when making upfront consideration payments to certain customers or when providing services to customers prior to the time at which the Partnership is contractually allowed to bill for such services.

The Partnership recognizes a contract liability if the customer’s payment of consideration precedes the Partnership’s fulfillment of the performance obligations. Certain contracts contain provisions requiring customers to pay a fixed minimum fee, but allow customers to apply such fees against services to be provided at a future point in time. These amounts are reflected as deferred revenue until the customer applies the deficiency fees to services provided or becomes unable to use the fees as payment for future services due to expiration of the contractual period the fees can be applied or physical inability of the customer to utilize the fees due to capacity constraints. Additionally, Sunoco LP maintains some franchise agreements requiring dealers to make one-time upfront payments for long-term license agreements. Sunoco LP recognizes a contract liability when the upfront payment is received and recognizes revenue over the term of the license.

The following table summarizes the consolidated activity of our contract liabilities:

	Contract Liabilities
Balance, December 31, 2021	$	459
Additions	815
Revenue recognized	(688)
Other	(13)
Balance, September 30, 2022	$	573
Balance, December 31, 2020	$	309
Additions	611
Revenue recognized	(512)
Balance, September 30, 2021	$	408

Performance Obligations

At contract inception, the Partnership assesses the goods and services promised in its contracts with customers and identifies a performance obligation for each promise to transfer a good or service (or bundle of goods or services) that is distinct. To identify the performance obligations, the Partnership considers all the goods or services promised in the contract, whether explicitly stated or implied based on customary business practices. For a contract that has more than one

performance obligation, the Partnership allocates the total expected contract consideration to each distinct performance obligation based on a standalone-selling price basis. Revenue is recognized when (or as) the performance obligations are satisfied, that is, when the customer obtains control of the good or service. Certain of our contracts contain variable components, which, when combined with the fixed component, are considered a single performance obligation. For these types of contacts, only the fixed components of the contracts are included in the table below.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]

Concentration Risk, Credit Risk, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Credit Risk

Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty may default on its contractual obligations resulting in a loss to the Partnership. Credit policies have been approved and implemented to govern the Partnership’s portfolio of counterparties with the objective of mitigating credit losses. These policies establish guidelines, controls and limits to manage credit risk within approved tolerances by mandating an appropriate evaluation of the financial condition of existing and potential counterparties, monitoring agency credit ratings, and by implementing credit practices that limit exposure according to the risk profiles of the counterparties. Furthermore, the Partnership may, at times, require collateral under certain circumstances to mitigate credit risk as necessary. The Partnership also uses industry standard commercial agreements which allow for the netting of exposures associated with transactions executed under a single commercial agreement. Additionally, we utilize master netting agreements to offset credit exposure across multiple commercial agreements with a single counterparty or affiliated group of counterparties.

The Partnership’s counterparties consist of a diverse portfolio of customers across the energy industry, including petrochemical companies, commercial and industrial end-users, oil and gas producers, municipalities, gas and electric utilities, midstream companies and independent power generators. Our overall exposure may be affected positively or negatively by macroeconomic or regulatory changes that impact our counterparties to one extent or another. Currently, management does not anticipate a material adverse effect in our financial position or results of operations as a consequence of counterparty non-performance.

The Partnership has maintenance margin deposits with certain counterparties in the OTC market, primarily with independent system operators and with clearing brokers. Payments on margin deposits are required when the value of a derivative exceeds our pre-established credit limit with the counterparty. Margin deposits are returned to us on or about the settlement date for non-exchange traded derivatives, and we exchange margin calls on a daily basis for exchange traded transactions. Since the margin calls are made daily with the exchange brokers, the fair value of the financial derivative instruments are deemed current and netted in deposits paid to vendors within other current assets in the consolidated balance sheets.

For financial instruments, failure of a counterparty to perform on a contract could result in our inability to realize amounts that have been recorded on our consolidated balance sheets and recognized in our statement of operations or statement of comprehensive income.

Derivatives, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Commodity Price Risk

We are exposed to market risks related to the volatility of commodity prices. To manage the impact of volatility from these prices, we utilize various exchange-traded and OTC commodity financial instrument contracts. These contracts consist primarily of futures, swaps and options and are recorded at fair value in our consolidated balance sheets.

We use futures and basis swaps, designated as fair value hedges, to hedge our natural gas inventory stored in our Bammel storage facility. At hedge inception, we lock in a margin by purchasing gas in the spot market or off peak season and entering into a financial contract. Changes in the spreads between the forward natural gas prices and the physical inventory spot price result in unrealized gains or losses until the underlying physical gas is withdrawn and the related designated derivatives are settled. Once the gas is withdrawn and the designated derivatives are settled, the previously unrealized gains or losses associated with these positions are realized.

We use futures, swaps and options to hedge the sales price of natural gas we retain for fees in our intrastate transportation and storage segment and operational gas sales in our interstate transportation and storage segment. These contracts are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes.

We use NGL and crude derivative swap contracts to hedge forecasted sales of NGL and condensate equity volumes we retain for fees in our midstream segment whereby our subsidiaries generally gather and process natural gas on behalf of producers, sell the resulting residue gas and NGL volumes at market prices and remit to producers an agreed upon percentage of the proceeds based on an index price for the residue gas and NGL. These contracts are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes.

We utilize swaps, futures and other derivative instruments to mitigate the risk associated with market movements in the price of refined products and NGLs to manage our storage facilities and the purchase and sale of purity NGL. These contracts are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes.

We use futures and swaps to achieve ratable pricing of crude oil purchases, to convert certain expected refined product sales to fixed or floating prices, to lock in margins for certain refined products and to lock in the price of a portion of natural gas purchases or sales. These contracts are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes.

We use financial commodity derivatives to take advantage of market opportunities in our trading activities which complement our transportation and storage segment’s operations and are netted in cost of products sold in our consolidated statements of operations. We also have trading and marketing activities related to power and natural gas in our all other segment which are also netted in cost of products sold. As a result of our trading activities and the use of derivative financial instruments in our transportation and storage segment, the degree of earnings volatility that can occur may be significant, favorably or unfavorably, from period to period. We attempt to manage this volatility through the use of daily position and profit and loss reports provided to our risk oversight committee, which includes members of senior management, and the limits and authorizations set forth in our commodity risk management policy.

We disclose the non-exchange traded financial derivative instruments as derivative assets and liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets at fair value with amounts classified as either current or long-term depending on the anticipated settlement date.
