Chief Financial Officer (duly authorized to sign on behalf of the registrant) |
• | On October 19, 2018, ET and Energy Transfer Operating, L.P. (formerly named Energy Transfer Partners, L.P. and referred to herein as “ETP”) completed a merger transaction (the “Merger”) whereby the publicly held common units of ETP were exchanged for 1.28 common units of ET. Consequently, the former common unitholders of ETP, along with the existing common unitholders of ETE, now comprise the current common unitholders of ET. The financial results of ETP have been included separately as supplemental information in this release. |
• | In October 2018, ET announced a quarterly distribution of $0.305 per unit ($1.220 annualized) on ET common units for the quarter ended September 30, 2018. |
• | In September 2018, the Partnership, along with Magellan Midstream, MPLX and Delek announced it had received sufficient commitments to proceed with plans to construct the Permian Gulf Coast Pipeline (“PGC”), a new 30-inch diameter, 600-mile common carrier pipeline to transport crude oil from the Permian Basin to the Texas Gulf Coast region, including the Partnership’s Nederland, Texas terminal. The project is subject to receipt of customary regulatory and Board approvals. |
• | In August 2018, the Partnership received approval to commence service on the Burgettstown and Majorsville supply laterals which allowed for 100 percent of the long-haul contractual commitments on Rover to begin September 1, 2018, and on November 2, 2018, the Partnership announced that it received approval to commence service on the final laterals needed to complete the Rover pipeline project. |
• | As of September 30, 2018, the Partnership’s $6.50 billion revolving credit facilities had an aggregate $3.66 billion of available capacity, and ETP’s leverage ratio, as defined by its credit agreement, was 3.53x. |

(a) | The closing of the Merger (as discussed above) has impacted the Partnership’s calculation of Distributable Cash Flow attributable to partners, as well as the number of ET Common Units outstanding and the amount of distributions to be paid to partners. In order to provide information on a comparable basis for pre-Merger and post-Merger periods, the Partnership has included certain pro forma information. |
• | ETP is reflected as a wholly owned subsidiary and pro forma Distributable Cash Flow attributable to partners reflects ETP’s consolidated Distributable Cash Flow (less certain other adjustments, as follows). |
• | Distributions from Sunoco LP include distributions to both ET and ETP. |
• | Distributions from PennTex are separately included in Distributable Cash Flow attributable to partners. |
• | Distributable Cash Flow attributable to noncontrolling interest in ETP’s other non-wholly-owned subsidiaries is subtracted from consolidated Distributable Cash Flow to calculate Distributable Cash Flow attributable to partners. |
(b) | During the fourth quarter of 2017, ETP changed its accounting policy related to certain inventories. Certain crude oil, refined product and NGL inventories associated with the legacy Sunoco Logistics business were changed from the LIFO method to the weighted average cost method. These changes have been applied retrospectively to all periods presented, and the prior period amounts reflected above have been adjusted from those amounts previously reported. Certain other prior period amounts have also been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation, including a reclassification between capitalized interest and AFUDC from the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2017. |
(c) | 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 ET’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. |
• | For subsidiaries with publicly traded equity interests, Distributable Cash Flow (consolidated) includes 100% of Distributable Cash Flow attributable to such subsidiary, and Distributable Cash Flow attributable to our partners includes distributions to be received by the parent company with respect to the periods presented. |
• | For consolidated joint ventures or similar entities, where the noncontrolling interest is not publicly traded, Distributable Cash Flow (consolidated) includes 100% of Distributable Cash Flow attributable to such subsidiary, but Distributable Cash Flow attributable to partners is net of distributions to be paid by the subsidiary to the noncontrolling interests. |
(d) | Beginning with the second quarter of 2017, PennTex became a wholly-owned subsidiary of ETP. The amounts reflected above for PennTex relate only to the first quarter of 2017, and no distributable cash flow has been attributed to noncontrolling interests in PennTex subsequent to March 31, 2017. |
(e) | Includes distributions to unitholders who elected to participate in a plan to forgo a portion of their future potential cash distributions on common units and reinvest those distributions in ETE Series A convertible preferred units representing limited partner interests in the Partnership. The quarter ended March 31, 2018 was the final quarter of participation in the plan. |
(f) | Distribution coverage ratio for a period is calculated as Distributable Cash Flow attributable to partners, as adjusted, divided by net distributions expected to be paid to the partners of ET in respect of such period. |

• | an increase of $76 million in transportation margin due to a $63 million increase resulting from higher producer volumes from the Permian region on ETP’s Texas NGL pipelines, an $11 million increase due to higher throughput volumes on Mariner West driven by end user facility constraints in the prior period, an $8 million increase due to higher throughput volumes from the Eagle Ford and Barnett regions, a $3 million increase due to higher throughput volumes in ETP’s Northeast refined products system and a $3 million increase due to higher throughput volumes on Mariner South and Mariner East 1 NGL systems. These increases were partially offset by a $7 million decrease resulting from the timing of deficiency revenue recognition and a $5 million decrease from lower volumes from the Southeast Texas region; |
• | an increase of $47 million in fractionation and refinery services margin due to a $40 million increase resulting from the commissioning of ETP’s fifth fractionator in July 2018 and higher NGL volumes from the Permian region feeding ETP’s Mont Belvieu fractionation facility, a $4 million increase from Mariner South as more cargoes were loaded due to increased demand for export and a $3 million increase from blending gains as a result of improved market pricing; and |
• | an increase of $19 million in terminal services margin due to a $9 million increase resulting from a change in the classification of certain customer reimbursements previously recorded in operating expenses, a $6 million increase at ETP’s Nederland terminal due to increased demand for propane exports and a $6 million increase due to higher throughput at ETP’s Marcus Hook Industrial Complex. These increases were partially offset by a $2 million decrease due to reduced rental fees at ETP’s Eagle Point facility; partially offset by |
• | an increase of $62 million in operating expenses due to increases of $25 million from higher throughput on ETP’s fractionator, pipeline and terminal assets and the commissioning of ETP’s fifth fractionator in July 2018, $10 million due to a legal settlement in the prior period, $9 million resulting from a change in the classification of certain customer reimbursements previously recorded as a reduction to operating expenses that are now classified as revenue following the adoption of ASC 606 on January |
• | a decrease of $21 million in marketing margin primarily due to a $13 million decrease in optimization gains from ETP’s Mont Belvieu marketing activities, a $4 million decrease from sales of propane and other products at ETP’s Marcus Hook Industrial Complex and a $2 million decrease from ETP’s butane blending operations resulting from a decrease in blending volumes. |

• | a decrease of $16 million in Adjusted EBITDA related to unconsolidated affiliates from ETP’s investment in Sunoco LP resulting from ETP’s lower ownership in Sunoco LP and lower operating results of Sunoco LP due to the sale of the majority of its retail assets in January 2018; |
• | a decrease of $12 million due to ETP’s contribution of CDM to USAC in April 2018, which decrease reflects the impact of deconsolidating CDM, partially offset by an increase in Adjusted EBITDA related to unconsolidated affiliates due to the equity method investment in USAC held by ETP subsequent to the CDM contribution; |
• | a decrease of $12 million in Adjusted EBITDA related to unconsolidated affiliates from ETP’s investment in PES primarily due to ETP’s lower ownership in PES subsequent to its reorganization, which resulted in PES no longer being reflected as an affiliate beginning in the third quarter of 2018; |
• | an increase of $7 million in general and administrative expenses from higher professional expenses; |
• | a decrease of $6 million due to losses from commodity trading and risk management activities; and |
