Distribution Represents More Than 30 Percent Increase Compared to Prior Year

DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Energy Transfer LP (NYSE: ET) today announced a quarterly cash distribution of $0.20 per Energy Transfer common unit ($0.80 on an annualized basis) for the first quarter ended March 31, 2022, which will be paid on May 19, 2022 to unitholders of record as of the close of business on May 9, 2022.

The distribution per unit is more than a 30 percent increase over the first quarter of 2021 and represents another step in Energy Transfer’s plan to return additional value to unitholders while maintaining its target leverage ratio of 4.0x-4.5x debt-to-EBITDA. Future increases to the distribution level will be evaluated quarterly with the ultimate goal of returning distributions to the previous level of $0.305 per quarter, or $1.22 on an annual basis, while balancing the partnership’s leverage target, growth opportunities and unit buy-backs.
