DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Energy Transfer LP (NYSE:ET) ("Energy Transfer" or the "Partnership") today reported financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2024.
Energy Transfer reported net income attributable to partners for the three months ended September 30, 2024 of $1.18 billion. For the three months ended September 30, 2024, net income per common unit (basic) was $0.33.
Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was $3.96 billion compared to $3.54 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2023.
Distributable Cash Flow attributable to partners, as adjusted, for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was $1.99 billion, an increase of $4 million from the three months ended September 30, 2023.
Growth capital expenditures in the third quarter of 2024 were $724 million, while maintenance capital expenditures were $359 million.
Operational Highlights
- With the addition of new organic growth projects and acquisitions, volumes on Energy Transfer's assets continued to increase during the third quarter of 2024.
- Crude oil transportation volumes were up 25%, setting a new Partnership record.
- Crude oil exports were up 49%.
- Midstream gathered volumes and produced volumes were up 6% and 26%, respectively, setting new Partnership records.
- NGL fractionation volumes were up 12%, setting a new Partnership record.
- NGL transportation volumes were up 4%, setting a new Partnership record.
- The Partnership recently completed a 50 MMcf/d expansion to the Orla East processing plant in the Permian Basin.
- The Partnership also recently completed construction of a 30-mile crude oil pipeline that allows Energy Transfer to transport approximately 100,000 Bbls/d of crude oil from its terminals in Midland, Texas to Cushing, Oklahoma.
- Energy Transfer recently approved construction of its ninth fractionator at Mont Belvieu, which will have a capacity of 165,000 Bbls/d. Frac IX is expected to be in service in the fourth quarter of 2026 and will increase the Partnership's total fractionation capacity at Mont Belvieu to more than 1.3 million Bbls/d.
Strategic Highlights
- In July 2024, Energy Transfer completed the acquisition of WTG Midstream Holdings LLC ("WTG Midstream"), which added approximately 6,000 miles of complementary gas gathering pipelines and extended Energy Transfer's network in the Midland Basin. The transaction also added nine gas processing plants with a total capacity of approximately 1.5 Bcf/d, and an additional 200 MMcf/d processing plant is currently under construction.
- In July 2024, Energy Transfer and Sunoco LP formed a joint venture combining their respective crude oil and produced water gathering assets in the Permian Basin. Energy Transfer serves as the operator of the joint venture.
- With forecasts suggesting that natural gas fueled power demand will increase significantly in the future, Energy Transfer is seeing increasing opportunities to provide natural gas to power plants and data centers spread across its natural gas footprint, from Arizona to Florida and from Texas to Michigan.
Financial Highlights
- In October 2024, Energy Transfer announced a cash distribution of $0.3225 per common unit ($1.29 annualized) for the quarter ended September 30, 2024.
- As of September 30, 2024, the Partnership's revolving credit facility had $3.34 billion available for future borrowings.
Energy Transfer benefits from a portfolio of assets with exceptional product and geographic diversity. The Partnership's multiple segments generate high-quality, balanced earnings with no single segment contributing more than one-third of the Partnership's consolidated Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The vast majority of the Partnership's segment margins are fee-based and therefore have limited commodity price sensitivity.

(a) | Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow are non-GAAP financial measures used by industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies to assess the financial performance and the operating results of Energy Transfer's fundamental business activities and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income, income from operations, cash flows from operating activities or other GAAP measures. |
There are material limitations to using measures such as Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow, including the difficulty associated with using either as the sole measure to compare the results of one company to another, and the inability to analyze certain significant items that directly affect a company's net income or loss or cash flows. In addition, our calculations of Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow may not be consistent with similarly titled measures of other companies and should be viewed in conjunction with measures that are computed in accordance with GAAP, such as operating income, net income and cash flows from operating activities. | |
Definition of Adjusted EBITDA | |
We define Adjusted EBITDA as total partnership earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, depletion, amortization and other non-cash items, such as non-cash compensation expense, gains and losses on disposals of assets, the allowance for equity funds used during construction, unrealized gains and losses on commodity risk management activities, inventory valuation adjustments, non-cash impairment charges, losses on extinguishments of debt and other non-operating income or expense items. Inventory valuation adjustments that are excluded from the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA represent only the changes in lower of cost or market reserves on inventory that is carried at last-in, first-out ("LIFO"). These amounts are unrealized valuation adjustments applied to Sunoco LP's fuel volumes remaining in inventory at the end of the period. | |
Adjusted EBITDA reflects amounts for unconsolidated affiliates based on the same recognition and measurement methods used to record equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates. Adjusted EBITDA related to unconsolidated affiliates excludes the same items with respect to the unconsolidated affiliate as those excluded from the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA, such as interest, taxes, depreciation, depletion, amortization and other non-cash items. Although these amounts are excluded from Adjusted EBITDA related to unconsolidated affiliates, such exclusion should not be understood to imply that we have control over the operations and resulting revenues and expenses of such affiliates. We do not control our unconsolidated affiliates; therefore, we do not control the earnings or cash flows of such affiliates. The use of Adjusted EBITDA or Adjusted EBITDA related to unconsolidated affiliates as an analytical tool should be limited accordingly. | |
Adjusted EBITDA is used by management to determine our operating performance and, along with other financial and volumetric data, as internal measures for setting annual operating budgets, assessing financial performance of our numerous business locations, as a measure for evaluating targeted businesses for acquisition and as a measurement component of incentive compensation. | |
Definition of Distributable Cash Flow | |
We define Distributable Cash Flow as net income, adjusted for certain non-cash items, less distributions to preferred unitholders and maintenance capital expenditures. Non-cash items include depreciation, depletion and amortization, non-cash compensation expense, amortization included in interest expense, gains and losses on disposals of assets, the allowance for equity funds used during construction, unrealized gains and losses on commodity risk management activities, inventory valuation adjustments, non-cash impairment charges, losses on extinguishments of debt and deferred income taxes. For unconsolidated affiliates, Distributable Cash Flow reflects the Partnership's proportionate share of the investees' distributable cash flow. | |
Distributable Cash Flow is used by management to evaluate our overall performance. Our partnership agreement requires us to distribute all available cash, and Distributable Cash Flow is calculated to evaluate our ability to fund distributions through cash generated by our operations. | |
On a consolidated basis, Distributable Cash Flow includes 100% of the Distributable Cash Flow of Energy Transfer's consolidated subsidiaries. However, to the extent that noncontrolling interests exist among our subsidiaries, the Distributable Cash Flow generated by our subsidiaries may not be available to be distributed to our partners. In order to reflect the cash flows available for distributions to our partners, we have reported Distributable Cash Flow attributable to partners, which is calculated by adjusting Distributable Cash Flow (consolidated), as follows: | |
| |
For Distributable Cash Flow attributable to partners, as adjusted, certain transaction-related adjustments and non-recurring expenses that are included in net income are excluded. | |
(b) | Non-operating litigation-related loss recognized in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 represents the loss associated with a recent adverse ruling. This non-recurring, non-operating loss has been excluded from the Partnership's calculation of Adjusted EBITDA. |
(c) | These amounts exclude Sunoco LP's Adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow related to its investment in the Permian joint venture, which amounts are eliminated in the Energy Transfer consolidation. |
(d) | For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the amount reflected for transaction-related income taxes reflects current income tax expense recognized by Sunoco LP in connection with its April 2024 sale of convenience stores in West Texas, New Mexico and Oklahoma. |

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. |
