REPORTS FOURTH QUARTER AND YEAR-END RESULTS AND DECLARES INCREASED

FOURTH QUARTER DISTRIBUTION OF $0.55 PER COMMON AND SUBORDINATED UNIT

 

PHILADELPHIA, January 21, 2004—Sunoco Logistics Partners L.P. (NYSE: SXL) today announced net income for the fourth quarter 2003 of $12.9 million, or $0.54 per limited partner unit on a diluted basis, compared with $8.3 million for the fourth quarter 2002, or $0.35 per limited partner unit on a diluted basis. For the year ended December 31, 2003, net income increased to $59.4 million compared with $46.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2002.

 

Sunoco Partners LLC, the general partner of Sunoco Logistics Partners L.P., also declared an increased cash distribution for the fourth quarter 2003 of $0.55 per common and subordinated partnership unit ($2.20 annualized) payable February 13, 2004 to unitholders of record on February 4, 2004, an increase of $0.0375 per partnership unit on a quarterly basis ($0.15 annualized increase).

 

“We are very pleased with the continuing improvement of the business as demonstrated by the 2003 record earnings of $59.4 million, or $2.53 per unit,” said Deborah M. Fretz, President and Chief Executive Officer of Sunoco Logistics Partners L.P. “The diversity of our businesses as well as continued solid performance by operations allowed us to capitalize on market opportunities. This, in addition to our acquisitions, has increased our ratable cash flow, and as a result we are announcing a 7.3 percent increase in our quarterly distribution. Our annualized distribution has increased 12.8 percent from $1.95 to $2.20 per unit over the year. Going forward, we are excited by our growth opportunities in 2004. Sunoco, Inc. recently announced that it has closed its purchase of the Eagle Point, N.J. refinery. We expect to complete the acquisition of the related logistics assets from Sunoco, Inc. in the first quarter of 2004.”

 

Net income for the fourth quarter 2003 increased to $12.9 million from $8.3 million for the fourth quarter 2002 due to a $4.9 million increase in operating income, partially offset by a $0.3 million increase in net interest expense. The increase in operating income includes the effect of special items such as the absence in the current quarter of a $6.3 million write-down of an idled refined product pipeline in the Eastern Pipeline System and a related terminal in the prior year and a $1.2 million gain in the current quarter relating to the settlement of a claim at the Nederland Terminal resulting from assets damaged by the May 2003 third party natural gas pipeline release. The cash received relating to this claim was primarily used to replace or repair certain impacted assets. The increase in operating income also includes equity income for a full quarter from the corporate joint ventures acquired in November 2002, lower operating expenses at the Terminal Facilities, and a decline in selling, general and administrative expenses. Partially offsetting these items were lower gross margins and higher operating expenses from the Western Pipeline System.

 

For the year ended December 31, 2003, net income increased to $59.4 million compared with $46.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2002. This $12.6 million increase was the result of a $13.8 million increase in operating income and a $1.6 million increase from the absence in the current period of corporate income taxes which were incurred prior to the initial public offering, partially offset by a $2.7 million increase in net interest expense. Operating income increased $13.8 million to $79.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2003 compared with $65.6 million for the prior year due principally to the special items noted previously, equity income from the corporate joint ventures


acquired in November 2002, higher trunk and gathering pipeline volumes and an increase in gross margins at the Western Pipeline System, and a decline in operating expenses at the Eastern Pipeline System. Partially offsetting these amounts were increases in selling, general and administrative expenses and operating expenses at the Western Pipeline System and Terminal Facilities.

 

Segmented Fourth Quarter Results

 

Eastern Pipeline System

 

The Eastern Pipeline System experienced a $4.9 million increase in operating income to $9.0 million for the fourth quarter 2003 from $4.1 million for the fourth quarter 2002. Sales and other operating revenue decreased $0.9 million from the prior year’s quarter to $23.9 million for the fourth quarter 2003 mainly as a result of lower product shipments, partially offset by higher revenue per barrel mile. Other income increased $1.5 million from the prior year’s quarter to $3.3 million for the fourth quarter 2003 primarily due to a full quarter’s equity income from the pipeline interests acquired in November 2002. Operating expenses increased $0.9 million from the prior year’s quarter to $10.7 million for the fourth quarter 2003 due to higher pipeline integrity management and maintenance expenses. Depreciation and amortization decreased $5.0 million to $2.7 million for the fourth quarter 2003 from $7.7 million for the fourth quarter 2002 primarily due to the absence in the current quarter of the write-down of an idled refined product pipeline in the prior year period.

 

Terminal Facilities

 

Operating income at the Terminal Facilities business segment increased $3.4 million to $8.4 million for the fourth quarter 2003 from $5.0 million for the fourth quarter 2002. Sales and other operating revenue decreased $0.3 million from the prior year’s quarter to $22.3 million for the fourth quarter 2003 due primarily to lower tank rental revenue at the Nederland Terminal. Other income increased to $1.1 million for the fourth quarter 2003 due principally to the gain recognized related to the settlement of a claim at the Nederland Terminal noted previously. Operating expenses decreased $1.0 million from the prior year’s quarter to $9.4 million for the fourth quarter 2003 due mainly to lower maintenance expenses at the refined product terminals, the Fort Mifflin Terminal Complex, and the Marcus Hook Tank Farm (collectively referred to as the “Other Terminals”). Depreciation and amortization decreased $0.9 million from the prior year’s quarter primarily due to the absence in the current quarter of the write-down of an idled refined product terminal in the prior year period. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $0.7 million from the prior year’s quarter to $3.2 million for the fourth quarter 2003 as a result of lower allocated administrative expenses.

 

Western Pipeline System

 

Operating income for the Western Pipeline System was $0.7 million for the fourth quarter 2003, a decrease of $3.4 million compared with the fourth quarter 2002. The decrease was primarily the result of lower lease acquisition volumes and margins and higher pipeline maintenance expenses, partially offset by a full quarter’s equity income from the interest in West Texas Gulf Pipe Line acquired in November 2002. Total revenues and cost of products sold and operating expenses increased in the fourth quarter 2003 compared with the fourth quarter 2002 due primarily to an increase in the price of crude oil and an increase in lease acquisition bulk volumes. The average price of West Texas Intermediate crude oil at Cushing, Oklahoma, increased to an average price of $31.18 per barrel for the fourth quarter 2003 from $28.17 per barrel for the fourth quarter 2002.


Segmented Year End Results

 

Eastern Pipeline System

 

Operating income for the Eastern Pipeline System increased $10.0 million to $37.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2003 compared with $27.1 million for the prior year. Sales and other operating revenue decreased $0.9 million from the prior year to $94.2 million for 2003 as a result of a decrease in total shipments, partially offset by higher revenue per barrel mile. Other income increased $5.2 million from the prior year to $12.1 million for 2003 primarily due to the equity income from the pipeline interests acquired in November 2002. Operating expenses declined $3.0 million from the prior year to $40.0 million for 2003 due mainly to the absence of costs in the current year associated with a pipeline release in January 2002 and lower pipeline maintenance expenses. As this pipeline release occurred prior to the IPO and the Partnership is indemnified by Sunoco, Inc. for liabilities associated with this incident, there was no impact on the Partnership’s post-IPO financial results. Depreciation and amortization decreased $4.4 million from the prior year to $10.6 million for 2003 primarily due to the absence in the current year of the write-down of an idled refined product pipeline in the prior year. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $1.8 million from the prior year to $18.6 million for 2003 due to higher allocated administrative expenses.

 

Terminal Facilities

 

The Terminal Facilities business segment experienced a $1.6 million increase in operating income to $30.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2003 from $28.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2002. Sales and other operating revenue increased $3.8 million from the prior year to $91.7 million for 2003 primarily due to higher combined throughput volumes at the Other Terminals, partially offset by lower tank rental revenue at the Nederland Terminal. Other income increased to $1.1 million for 2003 due the gain recognized related to the settlement of a claim at the Nederland Terminal noted previously. Operating expenses increased $3.0 million from the prior year to $38.5 million for 2003 due mainly to higher maintenance expenses at the Other Terminals. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $0.5 million from the prior year to $12.9 million for 2003 due to higher allocated administrative expenses.

 

Western Pipeline System

 

Operating income for the Western Pipeline System was $11.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2003, an increase of $2.3 million from the prior year. This increase was primarily the result of higher trunk and gathering pipeline volumes, equity income from the interest in West Texas Gulf Pipe Line acquired in November 2002, and an increase in lease acquisition volumes and margins. These amounts were partially offset by higher pipeline integrity management and maintenance expenses. Total revenues and cost of products sold and operating expenses increased for 2003 compared with the prior year due primarily to an increase in the price of crude oil and an increase in lease acquisition and bulk volumes. The average price of West Texas Intermediate crude oil at Cushing, Oklahoma, increased to an average price of $31.02 per barrel for 2003 from $26.11 per barrel for 2002. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $3.0 million from the prior year to $16.9 million for 2003 due to higher allocated administrative expenses.


Net Financing Activities

 

Net interest expense increased $0.3 million to $5.2 million for the fourth quarter 2003 compared with the prior year’s period due primarily to a decline in capitalized interest and interest for a full quarter on the $64.5 million outstanding on the $250 million credit facility. The credit facility was drawn on November 15, 2002 to fund two acquisitions. Net interest expense increased $2.7 million from the prior year to $20.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2003 due primarily to a decline in capitalized interest and interest on the credit facility. Total debt outstanding at December 31, 2003 was $313.1 million, which consists of $248.6 million of the Senior Notes and the borrowings on the credit facility. During the fourth quarter 2003, the Partnership repaid $4.1 million of outstanding indebtedness to a third party.

NOTE: Those statements made in this release that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements. Although Sunoco Logistics Partners L.P. believes that the assumptions underlying these statements are reasonable, investors are cautioned that such forward-looking statements are inherently uncertain and necessarily involve risks that may affect our business prospects and performance causing actual results to differ from those discussed in the foregoing release.
