Delek Logistics Reports Record First Quarter 2025 Results

DKL

  • Net income of $39.0 million
  • Reported Adjusted EBITDA of $116.5 million up 15% year over year
  • On track to deliver $480 million to $520 million in full year Adjusted EBITDA
  • Announced additional intercompany agreements with Delek US increasing the third-party EBITDA contribution to ~80%
  • Started commissioning of the new Libby 2 plant, providing a much needed processing capacity expansion in Lea County, NM
  • Closed the acquisition of Gravity Water Midstream ("Gravity") on January 2nd which is already performing above expectations
  • Acquired $10 million worth of DKL units from DK under the previously announced $150 million buyback authorization
  • Continued our consistent distribution growth policy with recent increase to $1.110/unit

Delek Logistics Partners, LP (NYSE: DKL) ("Delek Logistics") today announced its financial results for the first quarter 2025.

“Delek Logistics started 2025 on a strong note enhancing our position as a premier midstream provider in the Permian basin. We provide the best combination of yield and growth in the midstream sector with a long runway of growth driven by its advantageous position in the Midland and Delaware basins. We are proud of the 49th consecutive increase in our distribution and we expect to continue to increase our distribution in the future. The completion of the acquisition of Gravity in January and today's announcement of intercompany transactions push third party cash flow contribution at Delek Logistics to ~80%, further increasing our economic separation from our sponsor Delek US,” said Avigal Soreq, President of Delek Logistics' general partner.

"Going forward, we look forward to adding AGI & sour gas treating capabilities at the Libby Complex and further expanding our overall capacity at the plant. We are also focused on making our combined crude and water offering in the Midland basin more attractive. We will continue to strengthen and grow Delek Logistics through prudent management of liquidity and leverage," Mr. Soreq continued.

Delek Logistics reported first quarter 2025 net income of $39.0 million or $0.73 per diluted common limited partner unit. The first quarter 2025 net income included $3.3 million of transaction costs. This compares to net income of $32.6 million, or $0.73 per diluted common limited partner unit, in the first quarter 2024. Net cash provided by operating activities was $31.6 million in the first quarter 2025 compared to $43.9 million in the first quarter 2024. Distributable cash flow, as adjusted was $75.1 million in the first quarter 2025, compared to $68.0 million in the first quarter 2024.

For the first quarter 2025, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") was $85.5 million compared to $101.5 million in the first quarter 2024. The first quarter 2025 EBITDA included $3.3 million of transaction costs and $27.7 million of sales-type lease accounting impacts. For the first quarter 2025, Adjusted EBITDA was $116.5 million compared to $101.5 million in the first quarter 2024.

Distribution and Liquidity

On April 28, 2025, Delek Logistics declared a quarterly cash distribution of $1.110 per common limited partner unit for the first quarter 2025. This distribution will be paid on May 15, 2025 to unitholders of record on May 8, 2025. This represents a 0.5% increase from the fourth quarter 2024 distribution of $1.105 per common limited partner unit, and a 3.7% increase over Delek Logistics’ first quarter 2024 distribution of $1.070 per common limited partner unit.

As of March 31, 2025, Delek Logistics had total debt of approximately $2.15 billion and cash of $2.1 million and a leverage ratio of approximately 4.21x. Additional borrowing capacity under the $1.15 billion third party revolving credit facility was $444.9 million.

Consolidated Operating Results

Adjusted EBITDA in the first quarter 2025 was $116.5 million compared to $101.5 million in the first quarter 2024. The $15.0 million increase in Adjusted EBITDA reflects the results of H2O Midstream and Gravity operations, as well as impacts from the W2W dropdown, partially offset by a decline in wholesale margins and impacts of termination of certain intercompany agreements.

Gathering and Processing Segment

Adjusted EBITDA in the first quarter 2025 was $81.1 million compared with $57.8 million in the first quarter 2024. The increase was primarily due to incremental EBITDA from the Gravity and H2O Midstream acquisitions and higher throughput from Midland Gathering system.

Wholesale Marketing and Terminalling Segment

Adjusted EBITDA in the first quarter 2025 was $17.8 million, compared with first quarter 2024 Adjusted EBITDA of $25.3 million. The decrease was primarily due to a decline in wholesale margins and impacts of intercompany agreements.

Storage and Transportation Segment

Adjusted EBITDA in the first quarter 2025 was $14.5 million, compared with $18.1 million in the first quarter 2024. The decrease was primarily due to decreased rates.

Investments in Pipeline Joint Ventures Segment

During the first quarter 2025, income from equity method investments was $10.2 million compared to $8.5 million in the first quarter 2024. The increase was primarily due to the impacts of the W2W dropdown.

Corporate

Adjusted EBITDA in the first quarter 2025 was a loss of $6.9 million compared to a loss of $8.1 million in the first quarter 2024.

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. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, anticipated performance and financial position; statements regarding future growth at Delek Logistics; distributions and the amounts and timing thereof; potential dropdown inventory; projected benefits of the Delaware Gathering, Permian Gathering, H2O Midstream and Gravity Water Midstream acquisitions; 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.

Investors are cautioned that the following important factors, including among others, may affect these forward-looking statements: the fact that a significant portion of Delek Logistics' revenue is derived from Delek US, thereby subjecting us to Delek US' business risks; political or regulatory developments, including tariffs, taxes and changes in governmental policies relating to crude oil, natural gas, refined products or renewables; 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; Delek Logistics' ability to realize cost reductions; 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 with respect to the possible benefits of the Delaware Gathering, Permian Gathering, H2O Midstream and Gravity transactions, as well as from integration post-closing; risks related to exposure to Permian Basin crude oil, such as supply, pricing, gathering, production and transportation capacity; uncertainties regarding actions by OPEC and non-OPEC oil producing countries impacting crude oil production and pricing; 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; 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 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.

Sales-Type Leases

During the third quarter of 2024, Delek Logistics and Delek US renewed and amended certain commercial agreements. These amendments required the embedded leases within these agreements to be reassessed under Accounting Standards Codification 842, Leases. As a result of these amendments, certain of these agreements met the criteria to be accounted for as sales-type leases. Therefore, portions of our payments received for minimum volume commitments under agreements subject to sales-type lease accounting are recorded as interest income with the remaining amounts recorded as a reduction in net investment in leases. Prior to the amendments, these agreements were accounted for as operating leases and these minimum volume commitments were recorded as revenues.

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 financial information presented in accordance with United States ("U.S.") Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("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 interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, including amortization of customer contract intangible assets, which is included as a component of net revenues.
  • Adjusted EBITDA - EBITDA adjusted for (i) significant, infrequently occurring transaction costs and (ii) throughput and storage fees associated with the lease component of commercial agreements subject to sales-type lease accounting.
  • Distributable cash flow - calculated as net cash flow from operating activities adjusted for changes in assets and liabilities, maintenance capital expenditures net of reimbursements, sales-type lease receipts, net of income recognized and other adjustments not expected to settle in cash.
  • Distributable cash flow, as adjusted -calculated as distributable cash flow adjusted to exclude significant, infrequently occurring transaction costs.

Our EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, distributable cash flow and distributable cash flow, as adjusted 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 and Adjusted 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 these non-GAAP measures provide information useful to investors in assessing our financial condition and results of operations and assists in evaluating our ongoing operating performance and liquidity for current and comparative periods. Non-GAAP measures 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. Non-GAAP measures have important limitations as analytical tools, because they exclude some, but not all, items that affect net earnings, net cash provided by operating activities and operating income. These measures should not be considered substitutes for their most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures. Additionally, because EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, distributable cash flow and distributable cash flow, as adjusted may be defined differently by other partnerships in our industry, our definitions may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other partnerships, thereby diminishing their utility. See the accompanying tables in this earnings release for a reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures. However, due to the inherent difficulty and impracticability of estimating certain amounts required by U.S. GAAP with a reasonable degree of certainty at this time without unreasonable effort and imprecision, we have not provided a reconciliation of forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA guidance.
