Quarterly EBITDA of $101.5 million
Distributable cash flow of $68.0 million, DCF coverage ratio of 1.35x
In 2024, successfully executed $850 million debt offering and $138 million equity offering:
Improved liquidity from approximately $300.0 million to $800.0 million
Added 3.6 million units for a total 47.2 million outstanding units and increased volume activity

Delivered 45 consecutive quarters of distribution growth with recent increase to $1.070/unit

BRENTWOOD, Tenn., May 7, 2024 -- Delek Logistics Partners, LP (NYSE: DKL) ("Delek Logistics") today announced its financial results for the first quarter 2024, with reported net income attributable to all partners of $32.6 million, or $0.73 per diluted common limited partner unit. This compares to net income attributable to all partners of $37.4 million, or $0.86 per diluted common limited partner unit, in the first quarter 2023. The decrease in net income attributable to all partners was driven by higher interest expense. Net cash provided in operating activities was $43.9 million in the first quarter 2024 compared to $29.2 million in the first quarter 2023. Distributable cash flow was $68.0 million in the first quarter 2024, compared to $61.8 million in the first quarter 2023.
For the first quarter 2024, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") was $101.5 million compared to $93.2 million in the first quarter 2023.
“Delek Logistics had a strong quarter, delivering another solid financial and operational performance,” said Avigal Soreq, President of Delek Logistics' general partner.
"I'm proud of the team for successfully executing the debt and equity offerings during the quarter," Soreq continued. "We improved DKL's financial strength and flexibility with these transactions. The leverage ratio was lowered to 4.01x, down from 4.34x at year-end 2023, and liquidity was improved to approximately $800.0 million. Additionally, we saw new investor interest and increased volume activity in the units, enhancing our opportunities with DKL."
“In April, the Board continued its commitment to return value to unitholders and approved the 45th consecutive increase in the quarterly distribution to $1.070 per unit," Mr. Soreq concluded.
Distribution and Liquidity
On April 25, 2024, Delek Logistics declared a quarterly cash distribution of $1.070 per common limited partner unit for the first quarter 2024. This distribution will be paid on May 15, 2024 to unitholders of record on May 8, 2024. This represents a 1.4% increase from the fourth quarter 2023 distribution of $1.055 per common limited partner unit, and a 4.4% increase over Delek Logistics’ first quarter 2023 distribution of $1.025 per common limited partner unit. For the first quarter 2024, the total cash distribution declared to all partners was approximately $50.5 million, resulting in a distributable cash flow ("DCF") coverage ratio of 1.35x.
As of March 31, 2024, Delek Logistics had total debt of approximately $1.60 billion and cash of $9.7 million. Additional borrowing capacity, subject to certain covenants, under the $1.15 billion third party revolving credit facility was $584.8 million. The total leverage ratio as of March 31, 2024 of approximately 4.01x was within the requirements of the maximum allowable leverage ratio under the credit facility.
Consolidated Operating Results
First quarter 2024, EBITDA was $101.5 million compared with $93.2 million in the first quarter 2023. The $8.3 million increase reflects higher contributions from the Delaware Gathering systems, terminalling and marketing rate increases, as well as continued strong throughput on joint venture pipelines. The increase was partially offset by higher operating expenses driven by the growth in operations.
Gathering and Processing Segment
EBITDA in the first quarter 2024 was $57.8 million compared with $55.4 million in the first quarter 2023. The increase was primarily due to higher throughput from Permian Basin assets.

Wholesale Marketing and Terminalling Segment
EBITDA in the first quarter 2024 was $25.3 million, compared with first quarter 2023 EBITDA of $22.0 million. The increase was primarily due to higher terminalling utilization.
Storage and Transportation Segment
EBITDA in the first quarter 2024 was $18.1 million, compared with $13.4 million in the first quarter 2023. The increase was primarily due to increased storage and transportation rates.
Investments in Pipeline Joint Ventures Segment
During the first quarter 2024, income from equity method investments was $8.5 million compared to $6.3 million in the first quarter 2023.
Corporate
EBITDA in the first quarter 2024 was a loss of $8.1 million compared to a loss of $4.0 million in the first quarter 2023.

Safe Harbor Provisions Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains forward-looking statements that are based upon current expectations and involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Statements concerning current estimates, expectations and projections about future results, performance, prospects, opportunities, plans, actions and events and other statements, concerns, or matters that are not historical facts are “forward-looking statements,” as that term is defined under the federal securities laws. These statements contain words such as “possible,” “believe,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “predict,” “plan,” “estimate,” “intend,” “may,” “anticipate,” “will,” “if,” “expect” or similar expressions, as well as statements in the future tense, and can be impacted by numerous factors, including the fact that a significant portion of Delek Logistics' revenue is derived from Delek US, thereby subjecting us to Delek US' business risks; risks relating to the securities markets generally; risks and costs relating to the age and operational hazards of our assets including, without limitation, costs, penalties, regulatory or legal actions and other effects related to releases, spills and other hazards inherent in transporting and storing crude oil and intermediate and finished petroleum products; the impact of adverse market conditions affecting the utilization of Delek Logistics' assets and business performance, including margins generated by its wholesale fuel business; risks and uncertainties related to the integration of the 3 Bear business following the recent acquisition; uncertainties regarding future decisions by OPEC regarding production and pricing disputes between OPEC members and Russia; an inability of Delek US to grow as expected as it relates to our potential future growth opportunities, including dropdowns, and other potential benefits; projected capital expenditures, scheduled turnaround activity; the results of our investments in joint ventures; adverse changes in laws including with respect to tax and regulatory matters; and other risks as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and other reports and filings with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding future growth at Delek Logistics; distributions and the amounts and timing thereof; potential dropdown inventory; projected benefits of the Delaware Gathering acquisition; expected earnings or returns from joint ventures or other acquisitions; expansion projects; ability to create long-term value for our unit holders; financial flexibility and borrowing capacity; and distribution growth. Forward-looking statements should not be read as a guarantee of future performance or results and will not be accurate indications of the times at, or by, which such performance or results will be achieved.  Forward-looking information is based on information available at the time and/or management's good faith belief with respect to future events, and is subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual performance or results to differ materially from those expressed in the statements.  Delek Logistics undertakes no obligation to update or revise any such forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that occur, or which Delek Logistics becomes aware of, after the date hereof, except as required by applicable law or regulation.
Non-GAAP Disclosures:
Our management uses certain "non-GAAP" operational measures to evaluate our operating segment performance and non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate past performance and prospects for the future to supplement our GAAP financial information presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These financial and operational non-GAAP measures are important factors in assessing our operating results and profitability and include:
Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") - calculated as net income before net interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization expense, including amortization of customer contract intangible assets, which is included as a component of net revenues in our accompanying consolidated statements of income.
2 |


Distributable cash flow - calculated as net cash flow from operating activities plus or minus changes in assets and liabilities, less maintenance capital expenditures net of reimbursements and other adjustments not expected to settle in cash. Delek Logistics believes this is an appropriate reflection of a liquidity measure by which users of its financial statements can assess its ability to generate cash.
Our EBITDA and distributable cash flow measures are non GAAP supplemental financial measures that management and external users of our consolidated financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies, may use to assess:    
Delek Logistics' operating performance as compared to other publicly traded partnerships in the midstream energy industry, without regard to historical cost basis or, in the case of EBITDA, financing methods;
the ability of our assets to generate sufficient cash flow to make distributions to our unitholders on a current and on-going basis;
Delek Logistics' ability to incur and service debt and fund capital expenditures; and
the viability of acquisitions and other capital expenditure projects and the returns on investment of various investment opportunities.
We believe that the presentation of EBITDA and distributable cash flow measures provide information useful to investors in assessing our financial condition and results of operations and assists in evaluating our ongoing operating performance for current and comparative periods. EBITDA and distributable cash flow should not be considered alternatives to net income, operating income, cash flow from operating activities or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. EBITDA and distributable cash flow have important limitations as analytical tools because they exclude some, but not all, items that affect net income and net cash provided by operating activities. Additionally, because EBITDA and distributable cash flow may be defined differently by other partnerships in our industry, our definitions of EBITDA and distributable cash flow may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other partnerships, thereby diminishing their utility. For a reconciliation of EBITDA and distributable cash flow to their most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, please refer to "Results of Operations" below. See the accompanying tables in this earnings release for a reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures.
