Adjusted EBITDA financial
"For the first quarter 2026, Adjusted EBITDA was $132.3 million compared to $123.2 million"
Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.
distributable cash flow financial
"Distributable cash flow, as adjusted was $72.4 million in the first quarter 2026"
Distributable cash flow is the amount of money a business generates from its operations that management considers available to pay dividends, buy back shares, or make other distributions to owners after setting aside what’s needed to keep the business running and meet routine obligations. Investors care because it shows how much real cash can be returned to them—like a household’s leftover paycheck after paying rent and groceries—and helps judge whether payouts are sustainable and backed by operations rather than accounting entries.
sales-type lease financial
"The first quarter 2026 EBITDA included $1.2 million of transaction costs and $35.4 million of sales-type lease accounting impacts"
A sales-type lease is a contract where the party that owns an asset (the lessor) effectively sells it to a customer but keeps the right to receive lease payments, recording the transaction as a sale up front and then recognizing interest income over time. Think of it like a store that sells you a car on finance: the store books the sale immediately but still collects payments and interest, so profits and the asset’s removal from the balance sheet occur sooner. For investors this changes when revenue and profit show up, alters reported assets and liabilities, and affects measures like return on equity and cash flow timing.
acid gas injection (AGI) well technical
"Successfully completed drilling of our first acid gas injection (AGI) well"
leverage ratio financial
"a leverage ratio of approximately 4.05x"
Leverage ratio measures how much a company relies on borrowed money compared with its own funds or assets, typically expressed as debt relative to equity or total assets. Like a homeowner with a mortgage, higher leverage can amplify returns when business is strong but also raises the chance of big losses or default if revenue falls, so investors use it to judge financial risk and resilience.
coverage ratio financial
"Distributable cash flow coverage ratio is calculated by dividing distributable cash flow by distributions"

Delek Logistics Reports First Quarter 2026 Results
•Delek Logistics reported net income of $32.4 million or $0.60 per unit, and adjusted EBITDA of $132.3 million
•Successfully completed drilling of our first acid gas injection (AGI) well, progressing our sour gas processing, treating and handling solution at the Libby Gas Complex
•Signed new revolving credit facility, increasing borrowing capacity by $150 million and extending maturities to 2031
•Strong first quarter execution allows us to reiterate 2026 EBITDA Guidance of $520 million to $560 million
•Increased economic separation from DK as we continue to increase EBITDA from third party sources
•Continued our consistent distribution growth with our 53rd consecutive quarterly increase to $1.130/unit
BRENTWOOD, Tenn., April 29, 2026 -- Delek Logistics Partners, LP (NYSE: DKL) ("Delek Logistics") today announced its financial results for the first quarter 2026.
“Delek Logistics continued its strong performance into 2026, supported by solid execution across our crude, gas, and water segments” said Avigal Soreq, President of Delek Logistics’ general partner. “During the first quarter, we saw continued benefits from the ramp-up of our Delaware crude and water gathering businesses and made further progress on our sour gas gathering and acid gas injection system by completing the drilling of our first AGI well. Despite the impact of Winter Storm Fern, the business is showing strong results with rising gas G&P volumes as well as crude gathering volumes reflecting the underlying strength of our system.”
“Building on this momentum, we are reaffirming our 2026 EBITDA guidance of $520 to $560 million. Our business continues to benefit from increased third-party cash flows and the strategic steps taken over the past year, which have largely completed DKL’s economic separation from its sponsor while maintaining strong commercial alignment,” Soreq continued. “We are also proud to extend our track record of consistent returns to unitholders, supported by stable and growing cash flows.”
“Looking ahead, we are increasingly encouraged by the opportunities across our footprint, particularly at the Libby Complex, where our comprehensive acid gas injection and sour gas treating capabilities continue to gain traction. This industry-leading solution positions DKL for multi-year growth in the Delaware Basin and supports further expansion of our full-suite strategy. We remain committed to strengthening and growing Delek Logistics through prudent management of liquidity and leverage," Mr. Soreq continued.
Delek Logistics reported first quarter 2026 net income of $32.4 million or $0.60 per diluted common limited partner unit. This compares to net income of $39.0 million, or $0.73 per diluted common limited partner unit, in the first quarter 2025. Net cash provided by operating activities was $170.4 million in the first quarter 2026 compared to $31.6 million in the first quarter 2025, driven by favorable working capital movements. Distributable cash flow, as adjusted was $72.4 million in the first quarter 2026, compared to $75.1 million in the first quarter 2025. The decrease in net income and distributable cash flow from the first quarter 2025 to the first quarter 2026 was primarily attributable to the impacts of winter storm Fern.
For the first quarter 2026, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") was $94.9 million compared to $92.2 million in the first quarter 2025. The first quarter 2026 EBITDA included $1.2 million of transaction costs and $35.4 million of sales-type lease accounting impacts. For the first quarter 2026, Adjusted EBITDA was $132.3 million compared to $123.2 million in the first quarter 2025.
Distribution and Liquidity
On April 23, 2026, Delek Logistics declared a quarterly cash distribution of $1.130 per common limited partner unit for the first quarter 2026. This distribution will be paid on May 11, 2026 to unitholders of record on May 4, 2026. This represents a 1.8% increase over Delek Logistics’ first quarter 2025 distribution of $1.110 per common limited partner unit.
As of March 31, 2026, Delek Logistics had total debt of approximately $2.3 billion and cash of $9.9 million and a leverage ratio of approximately 4.05x. Additional borrowing capacity under the $1.3 billion third party revolving credit facility increased to $1.1 billion.
Consolidated Operating Results
Adjusted EBITDA in the first quarter 2026 was $132.3 million compared to $123.2 million in the first quarter 2025. The $9.1 million increase in Adjusted EBITDA reflects higher margins in the wholesale business and increased interest income related to sales-type leases.
1 | | |||||
Gathering and Processing Segment
Adjusted EBITDA in the first quarter 2026 was $82.9 million compared with $81.1 million in the first quarter 2025. The increase was primarily due to increased margins.
Wholesale Marketing and Terminalling Segment
Adjusted EBITDA in the first quarter 2026 was $14.3 million, compared with first quarter 2025 Adjusted EBITDA of $17.8 million. The decrease was primarily due to the termination of the East Texas marketing agreement with Delek Holdings, which was partially offset by an increase in wholesale margins.
Storage and Transportation Segment
Adjusted EBITDA in the first quarter 2026 was $25.2 million, compared with $14.5 million in the first quarter 2025.The increase was primarily due to increased income from sales-type leases.
Investments in Pipeline Joint Ventures Segment
During the first quarter 2026, Adjusted EBITDA from equity method investments was $18.3 million compared to $16.8 million in the first quarter 2025. The increase was primarily due to increase in income from W2W, partially offset by a decrease in income from our investments in our other joint ventures.
Corporate
Adjusted EBITDA in the first quarter 2026 was a loss of $8.4 million compared to a loss of $6.9 million in the first quarter 2025.

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 and proportional interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization of equity method investments.
•Adjusted EBITDA - EBITDA adjusted for throughput and storage fees associated with the lease component of commercial agreements subject to sales-type lease accounting and certain identified infrequently occurring items, non-cash items, and items that are not attributable to or indicative of our on-going operations or that may obscure our underlying results and trends.
•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.
