NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1—Organization and Basis of Consolidation and Presentation
Organization
Plains GP Holdings, L.P. (“PAGP”) is a Delaware limited partnership formed in 2013 that has elected to be taxed as a corporation for United States federal income tax purposes. PAGP does not directly own any operating assets; as of June 30, 2025, its sole source of cash flow is derived from an indirect investment in Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. (“PAA”), a publicly traded Delaware limited partnership. As used in this Form 10-Q and unless the context indicates otherwise (taking into account the fact that PAGP has no operating activities apart from those conducted by PAA and its subsidiaries), the terms “Partnership,” “we,” “us,” “our,” “ours” and similar terms refer to PAGP and its subsidiaries.
As of June 30, 2025, we owned an approximate 85% limited partner interest in Plains AAP L.P. (“AAP”) through our ownership of approximately 197.7 million Class A units of AAP (“AAP Units”). We also own a 100% managing member interest in Plains All American GP LLC (“GP LLC”), a Delaware limited liability company that holds the non-economic general partner interest in AAP. AAP is a Delaware limited partnership that, as of June 30, 2025, directly owned a limited partner interest in PAA through its ownership of approximately 232.9 million PAA common units (approximately 31% of PAA’s total outstanding common units and Series A preferred units combined). AAP is the sole member of PAA GP LLC (“PAA GP”), a Delaware limited liability company that directly holds the non-economic general partner interest in PAA.
PAA’s business model integrates large-scale supply aggregation capabilities with the ownership and operation of critical midstream infrastructure systems that connect major producing regions to key demand centers and export terminals. As one of the largest crude oil midstream service providers in North America, PAA owns an extensive network of pipeline transportation, terminalling, storage and gathering assets in key crude oil producing basins (including the Permian Basin) and transportation corridors and at major market hubs in the United States and Canada. PAA’s assets and the services it provides are primarily focused on and conducted through two operating segments: Crude Oil and Natural Gas Liquids (“NGL”). See Note 11 for further discussion of our operating segments.
PAA GP Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, is our general partner. Our general partner manages our operations and activities and is responsible for exercising on our behalf any rights we have as the sole and managing member of GP LLC, including responsibility for conducting the business and managing the operations of AAP and PAA. GP LLC employs our domestic officers and personnel involved in the operation and management of AAP and PAA. PAA’s Canadian officers and personnel are employed by our subsidiary, Plains Midstream Canada ULC.
References to the “Plains Entities” include us, our general partner, GP LLC, AAP, PAA GP and PAA and its subsidiaries.

Basis of Consolidation and Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements and related notes thereto should be read in conjunction with our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of PAGP and all of its wholly owned subsidiaries and those entities that it controls. Investments in entities over which we have significant influence but not control are accounted for by the equity method. We apply proportionate consolidation for pipelines and other assets in which we own undivided joint interests. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions for interim reporting as set forth by the SEC. The condensed consolidated balance sheet data as of December 31, 2024 was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 should not be taken as indicative of results to be expected for the entire year. All adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) that in the opinion of management were necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods have been reflected. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation, and certain reclassifications have been made to information from previous years to conform to the current presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on net income or total partners’ capital.
Management judgment is required to evaluate whether PAGP controls an entity. Key areas of that evaluation include (i) determining whether an entity is a variable interest entity (“VIE”); (ii) determining whether PAGP is the primary beneficiary of a VIE, including evaluating which activities of the VIE most significantly impact its economic performance and the degree of power that PAGP and its related parties have over those activities through variable interests; and (iii) identifying events that require reconsideration of whether an entity is a VIE and continuously evaluating whether PAGP is a VIE’s primary beneficiary.

PLAINS GP HOLDINGS, L.P. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
We have determined that our subsidiaries, PAA and AAP, are VIEs and should be consolidated by PAGP because:
•The limited partners of PAA and AAP lack (i) substantive “kick-out rights” (i.e., the right to remove the general partner) based on a simple majority or lower vote and (ii) substantive participation rights and thus lack the ability to block actions of the general partner that most significantly impact the economic performance of PAA and AAP, respectively.
•AAP is the primary beneficiary of PAA because it has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact PAA’s performance and the right to receive benefits, and obligation to absorb losses, that could be significant to PAA.
•PAGP is the primary beneficiary of AAP because it has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact AAP’s performance and the right to receive benefits, and obligation to absorb losses, that could be significant to AAP.
With the exception of a deferred tax asset of $1.175 billion and $1.220 billion as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, substantially all assets and liabilities presented on PAGP’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets are those of PAA. Only the assets of each respective VIE can be used to settle the obligations of that individual VIE, and the creditors of each/either of those VIEs do not have recourse against the general credit of PAGP. PAGP did not provide any financial support to PAA or AAP during the six months ended June 30, 2025 or the year ended December 31, 2024. See Note 16 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part IV of our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K for information regarding the Omnibus Agreement entered into by the Plains Entities on November 15, 2016.
Pending Sale of Canadian NGL Business
On June 17, 2025, we entered into a definitive Share Purchase Agreement (“SPA”) with Keyera Corp. (“Keyera”), an Alberta corporation, pursuant to which Keyera agreed to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Plains Midstream Canada ULC, our wholly-owned subsidiary that owns substantially all of our NGL business in Canada (the “Canadian NGL Business”), for cash consideration of approximately CAD$5.15 billion (approximately $3.75 billion), subject to certain post-closing adjustments, as defined in the SPA. This transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of 2026, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of customary closing conditions, including receipt of regulatory approvals.
We determined that in conjunction with entering into the SPA, the operations of the Canadian NGL Business meet the criteria for classification as held for sale and presentation as discontinued operations, as the sale will represent a strategic shift that will have a major effect on our operations and financial results. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities of the Canadian NGL Business have been classified as held for sale, and the balance sheet, results of operations and cash flows of the Canadian NGL Business have been presented as discontinued operations in our condensed consolidated financial statements. Unless otherwise indicated, the disclosures included within the accompanying notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements relate to our continuing operations and exclude amounts related to discontinued operations. These changes have been applied retrospectively to all periods presented. Discontinued operations are not presented separately within our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income, Condensed Consolidated Statements of Changes in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income/(Loss) or the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Changes in Partners’ Capital. See Note 2 for additional information regarding discontinued operations. All significant intercompany balances and transactions between the Canadian NGL Business and our continuing operations have been eliminated.
While we will divest the Canadian NGL Business as part of the sale, we will retain substantially all NGL assets in the United States and will also retain all crude oil assets in Canada. Prior to its classification as held for sale and presentation as discontinued operations, the Canadian NGL Business was part of our NGL reportable segment.
In June 2025, we entered into a forward currency instrument to hedge currency exchange risk associated with anticipated proceeds from the pending sale of our Canadian NGL Business. See Note 8 for additional information.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
In connection with and contingent upon closing of the pending sale of the Canadian NGL Business, we and Keyera entered into an agreement for certain hedging arrangements and payments relating to the differential between the price of natural gas and the extracted NGL commodities (“Frac Spread”) for a twelve-month period commencing the first month after the closing date. As a result of this arrangement, we will guarantee a minimum Frac Spread margin on certain volumes. The recognition of an asset or liability will be dependent upon the terms of the specific contracts transferred as part of the sale of the Canadian NGL business and the market conditions at that time the sale closes. We do not expect any liability we might recognize as a result of this agreement to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows; for example, if the sale closed during the first quarter of 2026, based on existing contracts to be transferred and current market conditions as of June 30, 2025, we would recognize a liability of approximately $45 million.

Note 2— Discontinued Operations
The operations of the Canadian NGL Business meet the criteria for classification as held for sale and presentation as discontinued operations. The Canadian NGL Business disposal group is recorded at its historical carrying value, as the fair value of the disposal group, less estimated costs to sell, is greater than the carrying value of the Canadian NGL Business disposal group. Depreciation and amortization on the long-lived assets of the Canadian NGL Business disposal group ceased upon meeting the criteria to be classified as assets held for sale. See Note 1 for information regarding the pending sale of the Canadian NGL Business.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Sales Revenues. Revenues from sales of crude oil and NGL are recognized at the time title to the product sold transfers to the purchaser, which occurs upon delivery of the product to the purchaser or its designee. The consideration received under these contracts is variable based on commodity prices. Inventory exchanges under buy/sell transactions are excluded from sales revenues in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Transportation Revenues. Transportation revenues include revenues from transporting crude oil on pipelines and trucks. Revenues from pipeline tariffs and fees are associated with the transportation of crude oil at a published tariff. We primarily recognize pipeline tariff and fee revenues over time as services are rendered, based on the volumes transported. As is common in the pipeline transportation industry, our tariffs incorporate a loss allowance factor. We recognize the allowance volumes collected as part of the transaction price and record this non-cash consideration at fair value, measured as of the contract inception date.
Terminalling, Storage and Other Revenues. Revenues in this category include (i) fees that are generated when we receive liquids from one connecting source and deliver the applicable product to another connecting carrier, (ii) fees from storage capacity agreements, (iii) fees from loading and unloading services at our terminals and (iv) fees from natural gas and condensate processing services. We generate revenue through a combination of month-to-month and multi-year agreements and processing arrangements. Storage fees are typically recognized in revenue ratably over the term of the contract regardless of the actual storage capacity utilized as our performance obligation is to make available storage capacity for a period of time. Terminal fees (including throughput and loading/unloading fees) are recognized as the liquids enter or exit the terminal and are received from or delivered to the connecting carrier or third-party terminal, as applicable. We recognize loading and unloading fees when the volumes are delivered or received.
Reconciliation to Total Revenues of Reportable Segments. The following disclosures only include information regarding revenues associated with consolidated entities; revenues from entities accounted for by the equity method are not included.

Trade Accounts Receivable and Other Receivables, Net
At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, substantially all of our trade accounts receivable were less than 30 days past their invoice date. Our expected credit losses are immaterial. Although we consider our credit procedures to be adequate to mitigate any significant credit losses, the actual amount of current and future credit losses could vary significantly from estimated amounts.
The following is a reconciliation of trade accounts receivable from revenues from contracts with customers to total trade accounts receivable and other receivables, net as presented on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets (in millions):

Note 4—Net Income Per Class A Share
Basic net income per Class A share is determined by dividing net income attributable to PAGP from continuing operations and net income attributable to PAGP from discontinued operations by the weighted average number of Class A shares outstanding during the period. Our Class B and Class C shares do not share in the earnings of the Partnership; accordingly, basic and diluted net income per Class B and Class C share has not been presented.
Diluted net income per Class A share is determined by dividing net income attributable to PAGP from continuing operations and net income attributable to PAGP from discontinued operations by the diluted weighted average number of Class A shares outstanding during the period. For purposes of calculating diluted net income per Class A share, both the net income attributable to PAGP and the diluted weighted average number of Class A shares outstanding consider the impact of possible future exchanges of AAP units and the associated Class B shares into our Class A shares. In addition, the calculation of the diluted weighted average number of Class A shares outstanding considers the effect of potentially dilutive awards under the Plains GP Holdings, L.P. Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “PAGP LTIP”).
Table of Contents
PLAINS GP HOLDINGS, L.P. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Exchanges of potentially dilutive AAP units are assumed to have occurred at the beginning of the period and the incremental income attributable to PAGP resulting from the assumed exchanges is representative of the incremental income that would have been attributable to PAGP if the assumed exchanges occurred on that date. See Note 11 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part IV of our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K for information regarding exchanges of AAP units. PAGP LTIP awards that are deemed to be dilutive are reduced by a hypothetical share repurchase based on the remaining unamortized fair value, as prescribed by the treasury stock method in guidance issued by the FASB. See Note 17 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part IV of our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K for information regarding PAGP LTIP awards.
On a weighted-average basis, the possible exchange of 35 million AAP units was dilutive to net income per Class A share from discontinued operations for both the six months ended June 30, 2025 and the three months ended June 30, 2024. The possible exchange did not result in dilution for net income per Class A share from discontinued operations for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and the six months ended June 30, 2024. The possible exchange did not result in dilution for net income per Class A share from continuing operations for any of the periods presented. Accordingly, the effect of the possible exchange of AAP units is included in the computation of diluted net income per share for discontinued operations for these periods and excluded from the calculation for all others. For each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, our PAGP LTIP awards were also dilutive and are included in the calculation of diluted weighted average Class A shares outstanding, as applicable.

(1)We classified these PAA commercial paper notes as short-term as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, as these notes were primarily designated as working capital borrowings, were required to be repaid within one year and were primarily for hedged inventory and NYMEX and ICE margin deposits.

(2)As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, PAA classified its $1.0 billion, 4.65% senior notes due October 2025 as long-term based on its ability and intent to refinance the notes on a long-term basis.
(3)PAA’s fixed-rate senior notes had a face value of approximately $8.2 billion and $7.2 billion as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. We estimated the aggregate fair value of these notes as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 to be approximately $7.9 billion and $6.7 billion, respectively. PAA’s fixed-rate senior notes are traded among institutions, and these trades are routinely published by a reporting service. Our determination of fair value is based on reported trading activity near the end of the reporting period. We estimate that the carrying value of outstanding borrowings under PAA’s commercial paper program approximates fair value as interest rates reflect current market rates. The fair value estimates for PAA’s senior notes and commercial paper program are based upon observable market data and are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Senior Notes
In January 2025, PAA completed the offering of $1.0 billion, 5.95% senior notes due June 2035 at a public offering price of 99.761%. Interest payments are due on June 15 and December 15 of each year, commencing on June 15, 2025.
Borrowings and Repayments
Total borrowings under the PAA commercial paper program for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 were approximately $27.6 billion and $20.6 billion, respectively. Total repayments under the PAA commercial paper program were approximately $27.5 billion and $21.0 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The variance in total gross borrowings and repayments is impacted by various business and financial factors including, but not limited to, the timing, average term and method of general partnership borrowing activities.
Letters of Credit
In connection with our merchant activities, we provide certain suppliers with irrevocable standby letters of credit to secure our obligation for the purchase and transportation of crude oil and NGL. Additionally, we issue letters of credit to support insurance programs, derivative transactions, including hedging-related margin obligations, and construction activities. At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had outstanding letters of credit of $81 million and $90 million, respectively.

Note 8—Derivatives and Risk Management Activities
We identify the risks that underlie our core business activities and use risk management strategies to mitigate those risks when we determine that there is value in doing so. We use various derivative instruments to manage our exposure to commodity price risk, interest rate risk, and currency exchange rate risk. Our commodity price risk management policies and procedures are designed to help ensure that our hedging activities address our risks by monitoring our derivative positions, as well as physical volumes, grades, locations, delivery schedules and storage capacity. Our interest rate risk and currency exchange rate risk management policies and procedures are designed to monitor our derivative positions and ensure that those positions are consistent with our objectives and approved strategies. Our policy is to use derivative instruments for risk management purposes and not for the purpose of speculating on changes in commodity prices or interest rates. When we apply hedge accounting, our policy is to formally document all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as our risk management objectives for undertaking the hedge. This process includes specific identification of the hedging instrument and the hedged transaction, the nature of the risk being hedged and how the hedging instrument’s effectiveness will be assessed. At the inception of the hedging relationship, we assess whether the derivatives employed are highly effective in offsetting changes in cash flows of anticipated hedged transactions. Throughout the hedging relationship, retrospective and prospective hedge effectiveness is assessed on a qualitative basis.
Table of Contents
PLAINS GP HOLDINGS, L.P. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
We record all open derivatives on the balance sheet as either assets or liabilities measured at fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recognized currently in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, changes in fair value are deferred in AOCI and recognized in earnings in the periods during which the underlying hedged transactions are recognized in earnings. Derivatives that are not designated in a hedging relationship for accounting purposes are recognized in earnings each period. Cash settlements associated with our derivative activities are classified within the same category as the related hedged item in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
Our financial derivatives, used for hedging risk, are governed through ISDA master agreements and clearing brokerage agreements. These agreements include stipulations regarding the right of set off in the event that we or our counterparty default on performance obligations. If a default were to occur, both parties have the right to net amounts payable and receivable into a single net settlement between parties.
At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, none of our outstanding derivatives contained credit-risk related contingent features that would result in a material adverse impact to us upon any change in our credit ratings. Although we may be required to post margin on our exchange-traded derivatives transacted through a clearing brokerage account, as described below, we do not require our non-cleared derivative counterparties to post collateral with us.
Commodity Price Risk Hedging
Our core business activities involve certain commodity price-related risks that we manage in various ways, including through the use of derivative instruments. Our policy is to (i) only purchase inventory for which we have a sales market, (ii) structure our sales contracts so that price fluctuations do not materially affect our operating income and (iii) not acquire and hold material physical inventory or derivatives for the purpose of speculating on commodity price changes. The material commodity-related risks inherent in our business activities are described below.
In the normal course of our operations, we purchase and sell commodities. We use derivatives to manage the associated risks and, in certain circumstances, to optimize profits. As of June 30, 2025, net derivative positions related to these activities included:
•A net long position of 5.1 million barrels associated with our crude oil purchases, which will be unwound ratably through September 2025 to match monthly average pricing.
•A net short time spread position of 3.2 million barrels, which hedges a portion of our anticipated crude oil lease gathering purchases through April 2026.
•A net crude oil basis spread position of 2.6 million barrels at multiple locations through December 2026. These derivatives allow us to lock in grade and location basis differentials.
•A net short position of 5.1 million barrels through December 2029 related to anticipated net sales of crude oil inventory.
•A net long position of 0.5 TWh through December 2030 related to anticipated power supply requirements.
Physical commodity contracts that meet the definition of a derivative but are ineligible, or not designated, for the normal purchases and normal sales scope exception are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings. We have determined that substantially all of our physical commodity contracts qualify for the normal purchases and normal sales scope exception.

Our accounting policy is to offset derivative assets and liabilities executed with the same counterparty when a master netting arrangement exists. Accordingly, we also offset derivative assets and liabilities with amounts associated with cash margin. Our exchange-traded derivatives are transacted through clearing brokerage accounts and are subject to margin requirements as established by the respective exchange. On a daily basis, our account equity (consisting of the sum of our cash balance and the fair value of our open derivatives) is compared to our initial margin requirement resulting in the payment or return of variation margin.

Interest Rate Risk Hedging
We use interest rate derivatives to hedge the benchmark interest rate associated with interest payments occurring as a result of debt issuances. The derivative instruments we use to manage this risk consist of forward starting interest rate swaps and treasury locks. These derivatives are designated as cash flow hedges. As such, changes in fair value are deferred in AOCI and are reclassified to interest expense as we incur the interest expense associated with the underlying debt.

As of June 30, 2025, there was a net loss of $36 million deferred in AOCI. The deferred net loss recorded in AOCI is expected to be reclassified to future earnings contemporaneously with interest expense accruals associated with underlying debt instruments. We estimate that substantially all of the remaining deferred loss will be reclassified to earnings through 2056 as the underlying hedged transactions impact earnings. A portion of these amounts is based on market prices as of June 30, 2025; thus, actual amounts to be reclassified will differ and could vary materially as a result of changes in market conditions.

Currency Exchange Rate Risk Hedging
In connection with the pending sale of the Canadian NGL Business, we entered into a forward currency instrument (CAD$4.5 billion notional amount) to hedge currency exchange risk. The instrument is contingent upon the sale occurring and will settle at closing. The cost of the deal-contingent structure is embedded in the hedge rate. As of June 30, 2025, the sale of the Canadian NGL Business is probable and the fair value of the instrument is a $49 million liability, presented in “Other current liabilities” on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. For the three months ended June 30, 2025, we recognized the $49 million loss, presented in “Losses on asset sales, net” on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of June 30, 2025, for the periods covered by the instrument, the average fixed USD to CAD rate of the instrument is $1.37 and the average forward USD to CAD rate is $1.35.

Note 10—Commitments and Contingencies
Loss Contingencies — General
To the extent we are able to assess the likelihood of a negative outcome for a contingency, our assessments of such likelihood range from remote to probable. If we determine that a negative outcome is probable and the amount of loss is reasonably estimable, we accrue an undiscounted liability equal to the estimated amount. If a range of probable loss amounts can be reasonably estimated and no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other amount, then we accrue an undiscounted liability equal to the minimum amount in the range. In addition, we estimate legal fees that we expect to incur associated with loss contingencies and accrue those costs when they are material and probable of being incurred.
We do not record a contingent liability when the likelihood of loss is probable but the amount cannot be reasonably estimated or when the likelihood of loss is believed to be only reasonably possible or remote. For contingencies where an unfavorable outcome is reasonably possible and the impact would be material to our consolidated financial statements, we disclose the nature of the contingency and, where feasible, an estimate of the possible loss or range of loss.
Legal Proceedings — General
In the ordinary course of business, we are involved in various legal proceedings including those arising from regulatory and environmental matters. In connection with determining the probability of loss associated with such legal proceedings and whether any potential losses associated therewith are estimable, we take into account what we believe to be all relevant known facts and circumstances, and what we believe to be reasonable assumptions regarding the application of those facts and circumstances to existing agreements, laws and regulations. Although we are insured against various risks to the extent we believe it is prudent, there is no assurance that the nature and amount of such insurance will be adequate, in every case, to fully protect us from losses arising from current or future legal proceedings. Accordingly, we can provide no assurance that the outcome of the various legal proceedings that we are currently involved in, or will become involved with in the future, will not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Environmental — General
We currently own or lease, and in the past have owned and leased, properties where hazardous liquids, including hydrocarbons, are or have been handled. These properties and the hazardous liquids or associated wastes disposed thereon may be subject to the U.S. federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, as amended, and the U.S. federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, as amended, as well as state and Canadian federal and provincial laws and regulations. Under such laws and regulations, we could be required to remove or remediate hazardous liquids or associated wastes (including wastes disposed of or released by prior owners or operators) and to clean up contaminated property (including contaminated groundwater). Assets we have acquired or will acquire in the future may have environmental remediation liabilities for which we are not indemnified or insured.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Although we have made significant investments in our maintenance and integrity programs, we have experienced (and likely will experience future) releases of hydrocarbon products into the environment from our pipeline, rail, storage and other facility operations. These releases can result from accidents or from unpredictable man-made or natural forces and may reach surface water bodies, groundwater aquifers or other sensitive environments. We also may discover environmental impacts from past releases that were previously unidentified. Damages and liabilities associated with any such releases from our existing or future assets could be significant and could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
We record environmental liabilities when environmental assessments and/or remedial efforts are probable and the amounts can be reasonably estimated. Generally, our recording of these liabilities coincides with our completion of a feasibility study or our commitment to a formal plan of action. We do not discount our environmental remediation liabilities to present value. We also record environmental liabilities assumed in business combinations based on the estimated fair value of the environmental obligations caused by past operations of the acquired company. We record receivables for amounts we believe are recoverable from insurance or from third parties under indemnification agreements in the period that we determine the costs are probable of recovery.
Environmental expenditures that pertain to current operations or to future revenues are expensed or capitalized consistent with our capitalization policy for property and equipment. Expenditures that result from the remediation of an existing condition caused by past operations and that do not contribute to current or future profitability are expensed.
Our estimated undiscounted reserves for environmental liabilities (excluding liabilities related to the Line 901 incident, as discussed further below) were reflected on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as follows (in millions):
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| June 30, 2025 | | December 31, 2024 |
Other current liabilities | $ | 7 | | | $ | 11 | |
Other long-term liabilities and deferred credits | 74 | | | 69 | |
Total | $ | 81 | | | $ | 80 | |
In some cases, the actual cash expenditures associated with these liabilities may not occur for several years. Our estimates used in determining these reserves are based on information currently available to us and our assessment of the ultimate outcome. Among the many uncertainties that impact our estimates are the necessary regulatory approvals for, and potential modification of, our remediation plans, the limited amount of data available upon initial assessment of the impact of soil or water contamination, changes in costs associated with environmental remediation services and equipment and the possibility of existing or future legal claims giving rise to additional liabilities. Therefore, although we believe that our reserves are adequate, actual costs incurred (which may ultimately include costs for contingencies that are currently not reasonably estimable or costs for contingencies where the likelihood of loss is currently believed to be only reasonably possible or remote) may be in excess of such reserves and may potentially have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Specific Legal, Environmental or Regulatory Matters
Line 901 Incident. In May 2015 we experienced a release of crude oil from our Las Flores to Gaviota Pipeline (Line 901) in Santa Barbara County, California. Effective as of June 30, 2025, we estimate that the aggregate total costs we have incurred or will incur with respect to the Line 901 incident will be approximately $870 million, which includes actual emergency response and clean-up costs, natural resource damage assessments, fines and penalties incurred, certain third-party claims settlements, and estimated costs associated with our remaining Line 901 lawsuits and claims as described below, as well as estimates for certain legal fees and statutory interest where applicable. We accrue such estimates of aggregate total costs to “Field operating costs” in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. This estimate considers our prior experience in environmental investigation and remediation matters and available data from, and in consultation with, our environmental and other specialists, as well as currently available facts and presently enacted laws and regulations. We have made assumptions for (i) the resolution of certain third-party claims and lawsuits, but excluding claims and lawsuits with respect to which losses are not probable and reasonably estimable, and (ii) the nature, extent and cost of legal services that will be required in connection with all lawsuits, claims and other matters requiring legal or expert advice associated with the Line 901 incident. Our estimate does not include any lost revenue associated with the shutdown of Line 901 or 903 and does not include any liabilities or costs that are not reasonably estimable at this time or that relate to contingencies where we currently regard the likelihood of loss as being only reasonably possible or remote. We believe we have accrued adequate amounts for all probable and reasonably estimable costs; however, this estimate is subject to uncertainties associated with the assumptions that we have made. For example, with respect to potential losses that we regard as only reasonably possible or remote, we have made assumptions regarding the strength of our legal position based on our assessment of the relevant facts and applicable law and precedent; if our assumptions regarding such matters turn out to be inaccurate (i.e., we are found to be liable under circumstances where we regard the likelihood of loss as being only reasonably possible or remote), we could be responsible for significant costs and expenses that are not currently included in our estimates and accruals. In addition, for any potential losses that we regard as probable and for which we have accrued an estimate of the potential losses, our estimates regarding damages, legal fees, court costs and interest could turn out to be inaccurate and the actual losses we incur could be significantly higher than the amounts included in our estimates and accruals. Also, the amount of time it takes for us to resolve all of the current and future lawsuits and claims that relate to the Line 901 incident could turn out to be significantly longer than we have assumed, and as a result the costs we incur for legal services could be significantly higher than we have estimated. Accordingly, our assumptions and estimates may turn out to be inaccurate and our total costs could turn out to be materially higher; therefore, we can provide no assurance that we will not have to accrue significant additional costs in the future with respect to the Line 901 incident.
We did not recognize any costs, net of amounts probable of recovery from insurance (as applicable), during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had a remaining undiscounted gross liability of approximately $20 million and $5 million, respectively, related to the Line 901 incident, which aggregate amounts are reflected in “Current liabilities” on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.
We maintain insurance coverage, which is subject to certain exclusions and deductibles, in the event of such liabilities. To date, we have collected $275 million of the $500 million available under our 2015 insurance program. We have submitted insurance claims seeking reimbursement for additional legal fees and settlements relating to the Line 901 incident. Such claims, in the aggregate, exceed the $225 million of insurance coverage remaining under the 2015 program. Since we lack certainty at this time as to if or when these claims will be reimbursed by the carriers, we have elected not to accrue for a receivable in connection with these claims. As such, with respect to the Line 901 incident, we do not have any amounts recorded as receivables that are recognized on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
We have completed the required clean-up and remediation work with respect to the Line 901 incident; however, we expect to make payments for additional legal and professional costs during future periods. During the second quarter of 2025, we agreed to confidential settlement terms for various lawsuits filed in California Superior Court in Santa Barbara County by companies and individuals who provided labor, goods, or services associated with oil production activities they claim were disrupted following the Line 901 incident, the agreed aggregate settlement amount has been factored into our Line 901 total cost estimate. The only other remaining Line 901 lawsuit is pending in California Superior Court in Santa Barbara County, in which a landowner on an adjacent pipeline is alleging property damage from the “stigma” of the Line 901 incident. We are vigorously defending this remaining lawsuit, which has not yet been set for trial, and believe we have strong defenses. Taking into account the costs that we have included in our total estimate of costs for the Line 901 incident and considering what we regard as very strong defenses to the claims made in our remaining Line 901 lawsuits, we do not believe the ultimate resolution of such remaining lawsuit will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

L48 Pipeline Release. In March of 2025, our subsidiary, Pacific Pipeline System LLC, experienced a crude oil release of approximately 125 barrels on a segment of the Line 48 pipeline in Carson, California. Clean-up and remediation activities were conducted in cooperation with applicable state and federal regulatory agencies. An investigation by the California Office of the State Fire Marshall is not complete. To date no charges, fines or penalties have been assessed against us with respect to this release; however, it is possible that charges, fines or penalties may be assessed against us in the future. We provided notification to our applicable insurance carriers and intend to pursue reimbursement of any costs incurred in excess of our $10 million self-insured retention. We estimate that the aggregate cost to clean-up and remediate the site will be approximately $20 million. Through June 30, 2025, we incurred $12 million in connection with clean-up and remediation activities.
Other Litigation Matters: Hartree. On July 19, 2022, Hartree Natural Gas Storage, LLC (“Hartree”) filed a lawsuit under seal in the Superior Court for the State of Delaware asserting claims against PAA Natural Gas Storage, L.P. and PAA arising out of a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement relating to the 2021 sale of the Pine Prairie Energy Center natural gas storage facility to Hartree. In early 2025, we entered into a settlement agreement with Hartree; the terms of the settlement are confidential and the amount paid is not material to our operations. All of Hartree’s claims were dismissed with prejudice and without any admission of wrongdoing by Plains.
Louisiana Coastal Erosion Lawsuit. Various coastal parishes, the State of Louisiana and some of its departments have filed lawsuits in Louisiana against a number of energy companies seeking damages for coastal erosion in connection with oil and gas operations in Louisiana. One of our subsidiaries has been named in such a lawsuit filed by The Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries (“LADWF”). LADWF filed a lawsuit in the 24th Judicial District Court of Jefferson Parish, Louisiana on October 30, 2023 against our subsidiary, Plains Pipeline, L.P., Chevron Pipe Line Company, BP Oil Pipeline Company and Arrowhead Gulf Coast Pipeline, LLC (collectively, “Defendants”), as the former and current parties to certain pipeline right of way agreements (“ROWs”) in the vicinity of the Elmer Island Wildlife Refuge. LADWF alleges that the Defendants breached the terms of the ROWs by failing to prevent erosion and seeks restoration of the Wildlife Refuge or alternatively monetary compensatory damages including restoration costs, legal fees and disgorgement of profits derived from the alleged trespass. Our subsidiary owned and operated a pipeline in the vicinity of the refuge from 2006 through 2016. We believe the claims in the lawsuit lack merit and intend to vigorously defend this lawsuit in coordination with the other Defendants.

Note 11—Segment Information
Our operating segments, Crude Oil and NGL, which are also our reportable segments, are organized by product as our Crude Oil and NGL businesses are generally impacted by different market fundamentals and require the use of different assets and business strategies. The Crude Oil segment includes our crude oil pipelines, crude oil storage and marine terminals and related crude oil marketing activities. Our crude oil marketing activities are included in our Crude Oil reporting segment as its primary purpose is to support the utilization of our assets by entering into transactions that facilitate increased volumes handled by our assets, resulting in additional earnings for the segment. The NGL segment includes our four NGL assets located in the United States.
Our CODM (our Chief Executive Officer) evaluates segment performance based on measures including Segment Adjusted EBITDA (as defined below). The measure of Segment Adjusted EBITDA forms the basis of our internal financial reporting and is the primary performance measure of segment profit/(loss) used by our CODM in assessing performance and allocating resources among our operating segments. We define Segment Adjusted EBITDA as revenues and equity earnings in unconsolidated entities less (a) significant segment expenses including: (i) purchases and related costs, (ii) field operating costs and (iii) segment general and administrative expenses, plus (b) our proportionate share of the depreciation and amortization expense (including write-downs related to cancelled projects and impairments) of unconsolidated entities, further adjusted (c) for certain selected items including (i) gains and losses on derivative instruments that are related to underlying activities in another period (or the reversal of such adjustments from a prior period), gains and losses on derivatives that are either related to investing activities (such as the purchase of linefill) or purchases of long-term inventory, and inventory valuation adjustments, as applicable, (ii) long-term inventory costing adjustments, (iii) charges for obligations that are expected to be settled with the issuance of equity instruments, (iv) amounts related to deficiencies associated with minimum volume commitments, net of the applicable amounts subsequently recognized into revenue and (v) other items that our CODM believes are integral to understanding our core segment operating performance and (d) to exclude the portion of all preceding items that is attributable to noncontrolling interests in consolidated joint venture entities (“Segment amounts attributable to noncontrolling interests in consolidated joint ventures”).
Our CODM uses Segment Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate the performance of each segment, including analyzing actual results compared to budget and guidance, to assess investment opportunities and to optimize and align assets to maximize returns to stakeholders.
Segment Adjusted EBITDA excludes depreciation and amortization. As an MLP, we make quarterly distributions of our “available cash” (as defined in our partnership agreement) to our unitholders. We look at each period’s earnings before non-cash depreciation and amortization as an important measure of segment performance. The exclusion of depreciation and amortization expense could be viewed as limiting the usefulness of Segment Adjusted EBITDA as a performance measure because it does not account in current periods for the implied reduction in value of our capital assets, such as pipelines and facilities, caused by age-related decline and wear and tear. We compensate for this limitation by recognizing that depreciation and amortization are largely offset by repair and maintenance investments, which act to partially offset the aging and wear and tear in the value of our principal fixed assets. These maintenance investments are a component of field operating costs included in Segment Adjusted EBITDA or in maintenance capital, depending on the nature of the cost. Capital expenditures made to expand the existing operating and/or earnings capacity of our assets are classified as investment capital. Capital expenditures made to replace and/or refurbish partially or fully depreciated assets in order to maintain the operating and/or earnings capacity of our existing assets are classified as maintenance capital, which is deducted in determining “available cash.” Maintenance capital is reviewed by our CODM on a segment basis. Repair and maintenance expenditures incurred in order to maintain the day to day operation of our existing assets are charged to expense as incurred. Assets are not reviewed by our CODM on a segmented basis; therefore, such information is not presented.

(4)We use derivative instruments for risk management purposes and our related processes include specific identification of hedging instruments to an underlying hedged transaction. Although we identify an underlying transaction for each derivative instrument we enter into, there may not be an accounting hedge relationship between the instrument and the underlying transaction. In the course of evaluating our results, we identify differences in the timing of earnings from the derivative instruments and the underlying transactions and exclude the related gains and losses in determining Segment Adjusted EBITDA such that the earnings from the derivative instruments and the underlying transactions impact Segment Adjusted EBITDA in the same period. In addition, we exclude gains and losses on derivatives that are related to (i) investing activities, such as the purchase of linefill, and (ii) purchases of long-term inventory. We also exclude the impact of corresponding inventory valuation adjustments, as applicable.
(5)We carry crude oil and NGL inventory that is comprised of minimum working inventory requirements in third-party assets and other working inventory that is needed for our commercial operations. We consider this inventory necessary to conduct our operations and we intend to carry this inventory for the foreseeable future. Therefore, we classify this inventory as long-term on our balance sheet and do not hedge the inventory with derivative instruments (similar to linefill in our own assets). We exclude the impact of changes in the average cost of the long-term inventory (that result from fluctuations in market prices) and write-downs of such inventory that result from price declines from Segment Adjusted EBITDA.
(6)We, and certain of our equity method investees, have certain agreements that require counterparties to deliver, transport or throughput a minimum volume over an agreed upon period. Substantially all of such agreements were entered into with counterparties to economically support the return on capital expenditure necessary to construct the related asset. Some of these agreements include make-up rights if the minimum volume is not met. We record a receivable from the counterparty in the period that services are provided or when the transaction occurs, including amounts for deficiency obligations from counterparties associated with minimum volume commitments. If a counterparty has a make-up right associated with a deficiency, we defer the revenue attributable to the counterparty’s make-up right and subsequently recognize the revenue at the earlier of when the deficiency volume is delivered or shipped, when the make-up right expires or when it is determined that the counterparty’s ability to utilize the make-up right is remote. We include the impact of amounts billed to counterparties for their deficiency obligation, net of applicable amounts subsequently recognized into revenue or equity earnings, as a selected item impacting comparability. Our CODM views the inclusion of the contractually committed revenues associated with that period as meaningful to Segment Adjusted EBITDA as the related asset has been constructed, is standing ready to provide the committed service and the fixed operating costs are included in the current period results.
(7)Our total equity-indexed compensation expense includes expense associated with awards that will be settled in units and awards that will be settled in cash. The awards that will be settled in units are included in our diluted net income per unit calculation when the applicable performance criteria have been met. We exclude compensation expense associated with these awards in determining Segment Adjusted EBITDA as the dilutive impact of the outstanding awards is included in our diluted net income per unit calculation, as applicable. The portion of compensation expense associated with awards that will be settled in cash is not excluded in determining Segment Adjusted EBITDA. See Note 17 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part IV of our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K for a discussion regarding our equity-indexed compensation plans.
(8)During the periods presented, there were fluctuations in the value of CAD to USD, resulting in the realization of foreign exchange gains and losses on the settlement of foreign currency transactions as well as the revaluation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency. These gains and losses are not integral to our core operating performance and were therefore excluded in determining Segment Adjusted EBITDA.
(9)Primarily related to acquisitions completed during the first half of 2025. See Note 12 for information regarding these transactions.
(10)Reflects amounts attributable to noncontrolling interests in the Permian JV, Cactus II and Red River.
(11)Investment capital and acquisition capital expenditures, including investments in unconsolidated entities.

Note 12— Acquisitions
Ironwood Midstream
Ironwood Midstream. On January 31, 2025, we acquired Ironwood Midstream Energy Partners II, LLC (“Ironwood Midstream”), which owns a gathering system in the Eagle Ford Basin, for approximately $481 million in cash from EnCap Flatrock Midstream. The Ironwood Midstream acquisition is accounted for in our Crude Oil segment. In January 2025, in a separate transaction, we also repurchased from EnCap Flatrock Midstream, a portion of our outstanding Series A preferred units. EnCap Flatrock Midstream is affiliated with EnCap Investments, L.P., an entity that is associated with a member of our board of directors. See Note 7 for additional information.
The Ironwood Midstream acquisition was accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting. In accordance with applicable accounting guidance, the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed following the acquisition was utilized as the consideration transferred for the purchase price allocation. The determination of the fair value of the assets and liabilities assumed was estimated in accordance with applicable accounting guidance. The analysis was performed based on estimates that are reflective of market participant assumptions. The following table reflects our preliminary determination of the fair value of the Ironwood Midstream acquisition assets and liabilities (in millions):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Identifiable Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed: | | Estimated Useful Lives (in years) | | Recognized Amount |
Property and equipment | | 3-30 | | $ | 435 | |

PLAINS GP HOLDINGS, L.P. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The fair value of the tangible asset is a Level 3 measurement in the fair value hierarchy and was determined using a cost approach for tangible assets, which was based on costs incurred on similar recent construction projects, and a market approach for rights-of-way. A Level 3 measurement is one for which there are no observable market inputs. The fair value of the intangible assets is also a Level 3 measurement in the fair value hierarchy and was determined by applying a discounted cash flow approach. Such approach utilized a discount rate of 18%, based on our estimate of the risk that a theoretical market participant would assign to the intangible asset. The projection of future crude oil volumes transported and the estimated tariff rates for transportation were also key assumptions in the valuation of the intangible assets. Projected future volumes and estimated tariff rates were based on current contracts in place with assumptions for forecasted rate increases and contract renewals.
The fair value of intangible asset is comprised of customer relationships that will be amortized over their useful lives, which have a remaining weighted average life of approximately 16 years. The value assigned to such intangible asset will be amortized to earnings under the declining balance method of amortization. Amortization expense was approximately $1 million and $2 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, and the future amortization expense for the remainder of 2025 through 2029 is estimated as follows (in millions):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Remainder of 2025 | | | | $ | 2 | |
2026 | | | | $ | 5 | |
2027 | | | | $ | 4 | |

Pro forma financial information assuming the acquisition had occurred as of the beginning of the calendar year prior to the year of the acquisition, as well as the revenues and earnings generated during the period since the acquisition date, were not material for disclosure purposes.
Other Acquisitions
Medallion Midstream. In January 2025, we acquired EMG Medallion 2 Holdings, LLC and its subsidiaries, which own a crude oil gathering and transportation business in the Delaware Basin, for $163 million (approximately $106 million net to PAA’s 65% interest in the Permian JV), subject to certain adjustments. A cash deposit of approximately $16 million was paid upon signing in December 2024. The Medallion Midstream acquisition is accounted for in our Crude Oil segment. EMG Medallion 2 Holdings, LLC was a portfolio company of The Energy & Minerals Group (“EMG”), which is associated with a member of our board of directors.
Cheyenne Pipeline. In February 2025, through a non-monetary transaction, we acquired the remaining 50% interest in Cheyenne Pipeline LLC (“Cheyenne”) in exchange for the termination of certain obligations. The transaction resulted in a net gain of approximately $31 million, which represents the difference between the fair value of the entity and the historical book value of our investment. This gain is reflected in “Gain on investments in unconsolidated entities, net” on our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. Prior to this transaction, our 50% interest in Cheyenne was accounted for as an equity method investment, reported in our Crude Oil segment.
Black Knight Midstream. During the second quarter of 2025, we acquired Black Knight Midstream, LLC (“Black Knight Midstream”), which owns a crude oil gathering business in the Permian Basin, for $59 million (approximately $38 million net to PAA’s 65% interest in the Permian JV), subject to certain adjustments. The Black Knight Midstream assets are accounted for in our Crude Oil segment.
BridgeTex Pipeline. In July 2025, we acquired an additional 20% interest in BridgeTex Pipeline Company, LLC (“BridgeTex”) for approximately $180 million. As a result of this transaction, we now own a 40% interest in BridgeTex and continue to account for our interest in BridgeTex, which is reported in our Crude Oil segment, as an equity method investment.
Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Introduction
The following discussion is intended to provide investors with an understanding of our financial condition and results of our operations and should be read in conjunction with our historical Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations as presented in our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K. For more detailed information regarding the basis of presentation for the following financial information, see the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes that are contained in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Our discussion and analysis includes the following:
•Executive Summary
•Results of Operations
•Liquidity and Capital Resources
•Recent Accounting Pronouncements
•Forward-Looking Statements
Executive Summary
Company Overview
We are a Delaware limited partnership that has elected to be taxed as a corporation for United States federal income tax purposes. As of June 30, 2025, our sole cash-generating assets consisted of an approximate 85% limited partner interest in AAP. We also own a 100% managing member interest in GP LLC, which holds the non-economic general partner interest in AAP. As of June 30, 2025, AAP directly owned a limited partner interest in PAA through its ownership of approximately 232.9 million PAA common units (approximately 31% of PAA’s total outstanding common units and Series A preferred units combined). AAP is the sole member of PAA GP, which holds the non-economic general partner interest in PAA.
PAA’s business model integrates large-scale supply aggregation capabilities with the ownership and operation of critical midstream infrastructure systems that connect major producing regions to key demand centers and export terminals. As one of the largest crude oil midstream service providers in North America, PAA owns an extensive network of pipeline transportation, terminalling, storage and gathering assets in key crude oil producing basins (including the Permian Basin) and transportation corridors and at major market hubs in the United States and Canada. PAA’s assets and the services it provides are primarily focused on crude oil and, to a lesser extent, NGL.
Pending Sale of Canadian NGL Business
On June 17, 2025, we entered into a definitive SPA with Keyera, pursuant to which Keyera agreed to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Plains Midstream Canada ULC, our wholly-owned subsidiary that owns substantially all of the Canadian NGL Business. This transaction supports our strategic objective to focus on our core midstream crude oil operations and to reduce exposure to commodity price fluctuations and seasonality. While we will divest the Canadian NGL Business as part of the sale, we will retain substantially all NGL assets in the United States and will also retain all crude oil assets in Canada. This transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of 2026, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of customary closing conditions, including receipt of regulatory approvals. We determined that in conjunction with entering into the SPA, the operations of the Canadian NGL Business meet the criteria for classification as held for sale and presentation as discontinued operations, as the sale will represent a strategic shift that will have a major effect on our operations and financial results. We have applied these changes retrospectively to all periods presented. See Note 1 and Note 2 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
Unless otherwise indicated, the discussion below relates to our continuing operations and excludes amounts related to discontinued operations.
Overview of Operating Results
We recognized net income of $775 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to net income of $653 million for the first six months of 2024. See the “Results of Operations” section below for discussion of significant drivers of our results from continuing operations.

Continuing Operations
The following discussion of our results of operations focuses on PAA’s continuing operations.
Revenues and Purchases
Fluctuations in our revenues and purchases and related costs are primarily associated with our merchant activities and are generally explained by changes in commodity prices and the impact of gains and losses related to derivative instruments used to manage our commodity price exposure. Because both product sales revenues and purchases and related costs are generally based off of the same pricing indices, the market price of the commodities will not necessarily have an impact on the absolute margins related to those sales and purchases.
A majority of our crude oil sales and purchases are indexed to the prompt month price of the NYMEX Light, Sweet crude oil futures contract (“NYMEX Price”). The following table presents the range of the NYMEX Price over the last two years (in dollars per barrel):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| NYMEX Price |
| Low | | High | | Average |
Three Months Ended June 30, 2025 | $ | 57 | | | $ | 75 | | | $ | 64 | |
Three Months Ended June 30, 2024 | $ | 73 | | | $ | 87 | | | $ | 81 | |
| | | | | |
Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 | $ | 57 | | | $ | 80 | | | $ | 68 | |
Six Months Ended June 30, 2024 | $ | 70 | | | $ | 87 | | | $ | 79 | |
Product sales revenues (including the impact of derivative mark-to-market valuations) and purchases decreased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same periods in 2024 primarily due to lower commodity prices in the 2025 periods, partially offset by higher crude oil sales volumes in the 2025 periods.
Services revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 increased compared to the same periods in 2024 primarily due to higher pipeline volumes and tariff escalations, as well as the impact of recently completed acquisitions.
See further discussion of our net revenues (defined as revenues less purchases and related costs) in the “—Analysis of Operating Segments” section below.
Field Operating Costs
See discussion of field operating costs in the “—Analysis of Operating Segments” section below.
General and Administrative Expenses
The increase in general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same periods in 2024 was primarily due to transaction costs associated with our recent acquisitions.
Depreciation and Amortization
The increase in depreciation and amortization for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same periods in 2024 was largely driven by acquisitions.
Loss on Asset Sales, Net
In connection with the pending sale of the Canadian NGL Business, we entered into a deal-contingent forward currency instrument to hedge the currency exchange risk associated with the sale in CAD. The 2025 periods were impacted by the mark-to-market of this instrument. See Note 8 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding this instrument and our derivatives and hedging activities. See Note 1 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding the pending sale of the Canadian NGL Business.
Equity Earnings
See discussion of Equity earnings in unconsolidated entities in the “—Analysis of Operating Segments” section below.
Gain on Investments in Unconsolidated Entities, Net
We recognized a net gain of $31 million related to our acquisition of the remaining 50% interest in Cheyenne in the first quarter of 2025. See Note 12 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding this transaction.
Interest Expense, Net
The following table summarizes the components impacting Interest expense, net (in millions):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Three Months Ended June 30, | | Six Months Ended June 30, |
| | 2025 | | 2024 | | 2025 | | 2024 |
Interest expense on borrowings (1) | | $ | 113 | | | $ | 98 | | | $ | 222 | | | $ | 194 | |
Capitalized interest | | (3) | | | (2) | | | (5) | | | (4) | |
| | $ | 110 | | | $ | 96 | | | $ | 217 | | | $ | 190 | |
(1) The increase in interest expense for the 2025 periods compared to the same periods in 2024 was primarily driven by PAA’s issuance of $1.0 billion, 5.95% senior notes in January 2025 and $650 million, 5.70% senior notes in June 2024, partially offset by the repayment of $750 million, 3.60% senior notes in November 2024. See Note 6 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding senior notes.
Other Income, Net
Other income, net primarily includes interest income and gains and losses on foreign revaluation related to the impact from the change in the CAD to USD exchange rate on the portion of our intercompany net investment that is not long-term in nature.
Income Tax Expense
The net favorable income tax variance for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same periods in 2024 was primarily due to the impact of (i) lower income tax expense in 2025 associated with Canadian withholding tax on dividends from our Canadian entities to other Plains entities, partially offset by (ii) higher year-over-year income within our Canadian operations as impacted by fluctuations of derivative mark-to-market valuations and (iii) higher PAA earnings attributable to PAGP.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement our financial information presented in accordance with GAAP, management uses additional measures known as “non-GAAP financial measures” in its evaluation of past performance and prospects for the future. The primary additional measures used by management are Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA attributable to PAA.
Our definition and calculation of certain non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures of other companies. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA attributable to PAA are reconciled to Net Income, the most directly comparable measures as reported in accordance with GAAP, and should be viewed in addition to, and not in lieu of, our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes.
Non-GAAP Financial Performance Measures
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings from continuing operations and discontinued operations before (i) interest expense, (ii) income tax (expense)/benefit from continuing operations and discontinued operations, (iii) depreciation and amortization (including our proportionate share of depreciation and amortization, including write-downs related to cancelled projects and impairments, of unconsolidated entities) from continuing operations and discontinued operations, (iv) gains and losses on asset sales, asset impairments and other, net from continuing operations and discontinued operations, (v) gains on investments in unconsolidated entities, net and (vi) adjusted for certain selected items impacting comparability. Adjusted EBITDA attributable to PAA excludes the portion of Adjusted EBITDA that is attributable to noncontrolling interests in consolidated joint venture entities.
Management believes that the presentation of such additional financial measures provides useful information to investors regarding our performance and results of operations because these measures, when used to supplement related GAAP financial measures, (i) provide additional information about our operating performance, (ii) provide investors with the same financial analytical framework upon which management bases financial, operational, compensation and planning/budgeting decisions and (iii) present measures that investors, rating agencies and debt holders have indicated are useful in assessing us and our results of operations. These non-GAAP measures may exclude, for example, (i) charges for obligations that are expected to be settled with the issuance of equity instruments, (ii) gains and losses on derivative instruments that are related to underlying activities in another period (or the reversal of such adjustments from a prior period), gains and losses on derivatives that are either related to investing activities (such as the purchase of linefill) or purchases of long-term inventory, and inventory valuation adjustments, as applicable, (iii) long-term inventory costing adjustments, (iv) items that are not indicative of our operating results and/or (v) other items that we believe should be excluded in understanding our operating performance. These measures may further be adjusted to include amounts related to deficiencies associated with minimum volume commitments whereby we have billed the counterparties for their deficiency obligation and such amounts are recognized as deferred revenue in “Other current liabilities” in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. We also adjust for amounts billed by our equity method investees related to deficiencies under minimum volume commitments. Such amounts are presented net of applicable amounts subsequently recognized into revenue. We have defined all such items as “selected items impacting comparability.” We do not necessarily consider all of our selected items impacting comparability to be non-recurring, infrequent or unusual, but we believe that an understanding of these selected items impacting comparability is material to the evaluation of our operating results and prospects.
Although we present selected items impacting comparability that management considers in evaluating our performance, you should also be aware that the items presented do not represent all items that affect comparability between the periods presented. Variations in our operating results are also caused by changes in volumes, prices, exchange rates, mechanical interruptions, acquisitions, divestitures, investment capital projects and numerous other factors as discussed, as applicable, in “—Analysis of Operating Segments.”
Discontinued Operations. Management believes that the presentation of certain Non-GAAP financial measures, such as Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA attributable to PAA ,on a consolidated basis (e.g., the aggregate of continuing operations and discontinued operations) provides more relevant and useful information regarding our performance and results of operations than presenting such metrics only on a continuing operations or discontinued operations basis. In addition, as the potential sale of the Canadian NGL Business is not anticipated to close until the first quarter of 2026, management continues to view the Canadian NGL Business as a component of our overall company performance and ability to fund distributions to our unitholders in the near term.

Analysis of Operating Segments
We manage our operations through two operating segments: Crude Oil and NGL. Our CODM (our Chief Executive Officer) evaluates segment performance based on measures including Segment Adjusted EBITDA. See Note 11 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for our definition of Segment Adjusted EBITDA and a reconciliation of Segment Adjusted EBITDA to Income from Continuing Operations, Net of Tax. See Note 19 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part IV of our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K for our definition of maintenance capital.
Crude Oil Segment
Our Crude Oil segment operations generally consist of gathering and transporting crude oil using pipelines (including gathering systems), trucks and, at times, on barges or railcars, in addition to providing terminalling, storage and other related services utilizing our integrated assets across the United States and Canada. Our assets provide services to third parties as well as to our merchant activities. Our merchant activities include the purchase of crude oil supply and the movement of this supply on our assets or third-party assets to sales locations, including our terminals, third-party connecting carriers, regional hubs or to refineries. Our merchant activities are governed by our risk management policies.
Our Crude Oil segment generates revenue through a combination of tariffs, pipeline capacity agreements and other transportation fees, month-to-month and multi-year storage and terminalling agreements and the sale of gathered and bulk-purchased crude oil. Tariffs and other fees on our pipeline systems are typically based on volumes transported and vary by receipt point and delivery point. Fees for our terminalling and storage services are based on capacity leases and throughput volumes. Generally, results from our merchant activities are impacted by (i) increases or decreases in our lease gathering crude oil purchases volumes and (ii) volatility in commodity price differentials, particularly grade and location differentials, as well as time spreads. The segment results also include the direct fixed and variable field costs of operating the crude oil assets, as well as an allocation of indirect operating and general and administrative costs.
The following tables set forth our operating results from our Crude Oil segment:

Segment Adjusted EBITDA
Crude Oil Segment Adjusted EBITDA for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 was in line with comparable results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. The benefit to the 2025 period from higher tariff volumes on our pipelines, tariff escalations and contributions from recently completed acquisitions was largely offset by fewer market-based opportunities and higher operating expenses.
The following is a more detailed discussion of the significant factors impacting Segment Adjusted EBITDA for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same periods in 2024.
Net Revenues and Equity Earnings. Our results were favorably impacted by (i) volume growth across our pipeline systems largely driven by increased production in the Permian Basin region, (ii) the benefit of tariff escalations and (iii) contributions from recently completed acquisitions in the Permian Basin and South Texas regions. These favorable impacts were partially offset by (iv) fewer market-based opportunities and (v) lower commodity prices, which resulted in lower revenues from pipeline loss allowance in the 2025 periods.
Field Operating Costs. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same periods in 2024, we recognized higher expenses as a result of acquisitions and higher volumes. The six-month period was further impacted by higher expenses associated with (i) environmental remediation costs and (ii) property taxes.
Maintenance Capital
The decrease in maintenance capital spending for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same periods in 2024 was primarily due to lower costs resulting from timing of certain pipeline integrity activities.
NGL Segment
Our NGL segment operations involve NGL storage and terminalling from our four NGL assets located in the United States, namely our Bumstead, Shafter, San Pedro and Tampa facilities. Our NGL segment revenues are primarily derived from (i) providing storage and/or terminalling services at these facilities to third-party customers for a fee and (ii) the transport, storage and sale of specification NGL products. The segment results also include the direct fixed and variable field costs of operating our four NGL facilities, as well as an allocation of indirect operating costs and general and administrative expenses.
The following table sets forth our operating results from our NGL segment:

(1)Revenues and costs and expenses include intersegment amounts.
(2)Field operating costs and segment general and administrative expenses include certain costs that are part of the overhead of continuing operations.
(3)Segment general and administrative expenses reflect direct costs attributable to each segment and an allocation of other expenses to the segments. The proportional allocations by segment require judgment by management and are based on the business activities that exist during each period.
Segment Adjusted EBITDA
The Segment Adjusted EBITDA loss for all periods presented is largely driven by costs that are part of the overhead of our NGL activities and are included in continuing operations as they are not related to contracts or arrangements that will be included in the sale of the Canadian NGL Business. These costs include information technology, insurance and other shared services costs.
The decrease in NGL Segment Adjusted EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 primarily resulted from lower net revenues as a result of weaker butane basis in the 2025 period.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
General
Our primary sources of liquidity are (i) cash flow from operating activities and (ii) borrowings under PAA’s credit facilities or commercial paper program. In addition, we may supplement these primary sources of liquidity with proceeds from asset sales, and in the past have utilized funds received from sales of equity and debt securities. Our primary cash requirements include, but are not limited to, (i) ordinary course of business uses, such as the payment of amounts related to the purchase of crude oil, NGL and other products, payment of other expenses and interest payments on outstanding debt, (ii) investment and maintenance capital activities, (iii) acquisitions of assets or businesses, (iv) repayment of principal on long-term debt and (v) distributions to our Class A shareholders and noncontrolling interests. In addition, we may use cash for repurchases of common equity. We generally expect to fund our short-term cash requirements through cash flow generated from operating activities and/or borrowings under PAA’s credit facilities or commercial paper program. In addition, we generally expect to fund our long-term needs, such as those resulting from investment capital activities, acquisitions or refinancing long-term debt, through a variety of sources, which may include any or a combination of the sources listed above.
As of June 30, 2025, we had a working capital surplus of $10 million and approximately $2.7 billion of liquidity available to meet our ongoing operating, investing and financing needs (subject to continued covenant compliance) as noted below (in millions):
| | | | | |
| As of June 30, 2025 |
Availability under PAA senior unsecured revolving credit facility (1) (2) | $ | 1,350 | |
Availability under PAA senior secured hedged inventory facility (1) (2) | 1,312 | |
Amounts outstanding under PAA commercial paper program | (462) | |
Subtotal | 2,200 | |
Cash and cash equivalents | 460 | |
Total | $ | 2,660 | |
(1)Represents availability prior to giving effect to borrowings outstanding under the PAA commercial paper program, which reduce available capacity under the credit facilities.
(2)Available capacity under the PAA senior unsecured revolving credit facility and the PAA senior secured hedged inventory facility was reduced by outstanding letters of credit issued under these facilities of less than $1 million and $38 million, respectively.
Usage of PAA’s credit facilities, and, in turn, its commercial paper program, is subject to ongoing compliance with covenants. The credit agreements for PAA’s revolving credit facilities (which impact PAA’s ability to access its commercial paper program because they provide the financial backstop that supports its short-term credit ratings) and the indentures governing its senior notes contain cross-default provisions. A default under PAA’s credit agreements or indentures would permit the lenders to accelerate the maturity of the outstanding debt. As long as PAA is in compliance with the provisions in its credit agreements, its ability to make distributions of available cash is not restricted. PAA was in compliance with the covenants contained in its credit agreements and indentures as of June 30, 2025.
We believe that we have, and will continue to have, the ability to access the PAA commercial paper program and credit facilities, which we use to meet our short-term cash needs. We believe that our financial position remains strong and we have sufficient liquid assets, cash flow from operating activities and borrowing capacity under the credit agreements to meet our financial commitments, debt service obligations, contingencies and anticipated capital expenditures. We are, however, subject to business and operational risks that could adversely affect our cash flow, including extended disruptions in the financial markets and/or energy price volatility resulting from current macroeconomic and geopolitical conditions, including actions by the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC). A prolonged material decrease in our cash flows would likely produce an adverse effect on our borrowing capacity and cost of borrowing. Our borrowing capacity and borrowing costs are also impacted by PAA’s credit rating. See Item 1A. “Risk Factors” included in our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K for further discussion regarding risks that may impact our liquidity and capital resources.
Cash Flow from Operating Activities
For a comprehensive discussion of the primary drivers of cash flow from operating activities, including the impact of varying market conditions and the timing of settlement of our derivatives, see Item 7. “Liquidity and Capital Resources—Cash Flow from Operating Activities” included in our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations for the first six months of 2025 and 2024 was $1.029 billion and $990 million, respectively, and primarily resulted from earnings from our operations.
Investing Activities
Capital Expenditures
In addition to our operating needs, we also use cash for our investment capital projects, maintenance capital activities and acquisition activities. We fund these expenditures with cash generated by operating activities, financing activities and/or proceeds from asset sales. The following table summarizes our investment, maintenance and acquisition capital expenditures related to continuing operations and discontinued operations (in millions):
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| Six Months Ended June 30, |
Capital Expenditures (1) | 2025 | | 2024 |

(1)Capital expenditures related to discontinued operations are included in the amounts in the table above and were $68 million and $28 million for investment and maintenance capital for the six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively. Capital expenditures for investment and maintenance capital related to discontinued operations were $37 million and $28 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively. There was no acquisition capital related to discontinued operations for any period presented.
(2)Capital expenditures made to expand the existing operating and/or earnings capacity of our assets are classified as “Investment capital.” Capital expenditures made to replace and/or refurbish partially or fully depreciated assets in order to maintain the operating and/or earnings capacity of our existing assets are classified as “Maintenance capital.”
(3)Contributions to unconsolidated entities, accounted for under the equity method of accounting, that are related to investment capital projects by such entities are recognized in “Investment capital.” Acquisitions of initial investments or additional interests in unconsolidated entities are included in “Acquisition capital.”
(4)Investment capital and maintenance capital, excluding expenditures attributable to noncontrolling interests in consolidated joint ventures, was approximately $283 million and $97 million, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2025, and approximately $144 million and $109 million, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2024.
(5)Acquisition capital, net to our 65% interest in the Permian JV, was approximately $651 million and $113 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Acquisition capital for the 2025 period primarily included the acquisitions of (i) Ironwood Midstream, (ii) Medallion Midstream by the Permian JV, (iii) the remaining 50% interest in Cheyenne Pipeline LLC through a non-cash transaction, and (iv) Black Knight Midstream. See Note 12 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information. Acquisition capital for the 2024 period primarily included the acquisition of an additional ownership interest in an equity method investee.
2025 Investment and Maintenance Capital. Total investment capital for the year ending December 31, 2025 is projected to be approximately $580 million ($475 million net to our interest), which includes approximately $110 million related to discontinued operations. Approximately half of our projected investment capital expenditures are expected to be invested in the Permian JV assets. Additionally, maintenance capital for 2025 is projected to be approximately $250 million ($230 million net to our interest), which includes approximately $70 million related to discontinued operations.
Ongoing Activities Related to Strategic Transactions
We are continuously engaged in the evaluation of potential transactions that support our current business strategy. In the past, such transactions have included the acquisition of assets that complement our existing footprint, the sale of non-core assets, the sale of partial interests in assets to strategic joint venture partners, and large investment capital projects. With respect to a potential acquisition or divestiture, we may conduct an auction process or participate in an auction process conducted by a third-party or we may negotiate a transaction with one or a limited number of potential sellers (in the case of an acquisition) or buyers (in the case of a divestiture). Such transactions could have a material effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
We typically do not announce a transaction until after we have executed a definitive agreement. In certain cases, in order to protect our business interests or for other reasons, we may defer public announcement of a transaction until closing or a later date. Past experience has demonstrated that discussions and negotiations regarding a potential transaction can advance or terminate in a short period of time. Moreover, the closing of any transaction for which we have entered into a definitive agreement may be subject to customary and other closing conditions, which may not ultimately be satisfied or waived. Accordingly, we can give no assurance that our current or future efforts with respect to any such transactions will be successful, and we can provide no assurance that our financial expectations with respect to such transactions will ultimately be realized. See Item 1A. “Risk Factors—Risks Related to PAA’s Business—Acquisitions and divestitures involve risks that may adversely affect PAA’s business” included in our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Financing Activities
Our financing activities primarily relate to funding investment capital projects, acquisitions and refinancing of our debt maturities, as well as short-term working capital (including borrowings for NYMEX and ICE margin deposits) and hedged inventory borrowings related to our NGL business and contango market activities, and the payment of distributions to our shareholders and noncontrolling interests.
Borrowings and Repayments Under Credit Agreements
During the six months ended June 30, 2025, we had net borrowings under the PAA commercial paper program of $69 million. The net borrowings resulted primarily from borrowings during the period related to funding needs for capital investments, inventory purchases and other general partnership purposes.
During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we had net repayments under PAA commercial paper program of $433 million. The net repayments resulted primarily from cash flow from operating activities and proceeds from the issuance of PAA’s $650 million, 5.70% senior notes in June 2024, which offset borrowings during the period related to funding needs for capital investments, inventory purchases and other general partnership purposes.
Senior Notes
In January 2025, PAA completed the offering of $1.0 billion, 5.95% senior notes due June 2035 at a public offering price of 99.761%. Interest payments are due on June 15 and December 15 of each year, commencing on June 15, 2025. PAA used the net proceeds from this offering of approximately $988 million, after deducting the underwriting discount and offering expenses, to (i) fund the acquisitions completed during the six months ended June 30, 2025, (ii) fund the repurchase of approximately 12.7 million of PAA’s Series A preferred units in January 2025 and (iii) repay outstanding borrowings under PAA’s credit facilities and commercial paper program and for general partnership purposes.
Common Equity Repurchase Program
PAA repurchased 0.5 million common units under the Common Equity Repurchase Program (the “Program”) through open market purchases that settled during the six months ended June 30, 2025, for the total purchase price of $8 million, including commissions and fees. The repurchased PAA common units were canceled immediately upon acquisition, as were the Class C shares held by PAA associated with the repurchased common units. There were no repurchases under the Program during the six months ended June 30, 2024. At June 30, 2025, the remaining available capacity under the Program was $190 million. See Note 11 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part IV of our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information regarding the Program.
Registration Statements
PAGP Registration Statements. We have filed with the SEC a shelf registration statement that, subject to effectiveness at the time of use, allows us to issue up to a specified amount of equity securities (“PAGP Traditional Shelf”). At June 30, 2025, we had approximately $939 million of unsold securities available. We also have access to a universal shelf registration statement (“PAGP WKSI Shelf”), which provides us with the ability to offer and sell an unlimited amount of equity securities, subject to market conditions and our capital needs. We did not conduct any offerings under the PAGP Traditional Shelf or PAGP WKSI Shelf during the six months ended June 30, 2025.
PAA Registration Statements. PAA periodically accesses the capital markets for both equity and debt financing. PAA has filed with the SEC a universal shelf registration statement that, subject to effectiveness at the time of use, allows PAA to issue up to a specified amount of debt or equity securities (“PAA Traditional Shelf”), under which PAA had approximately $1.1 billion of unsold securities available at June 30, 2025. PAA did not conduct any offerings under the PAA Traditional Shelf during the six months ended June 30, 2025. PAA also has access to a universal shelf registration statement (“PAA WKSI Shelf”), which provides it with the ability to offer and sell an unlimited amount of debt and equity securities, subject to market conditions and its capital needs. The offering of PAA’s $1.0 billion, 5.95% senior notes in January 2025 was conducted under its WKSI Shelf.
Series A Preferred Unit Repurchase
On January 31, 2025, PAA repurchased approximately 12.7 million units, or 18%, of its outstanding Series A preferred units at the issue price of $26.25 per unit for a purchase price of approximately $333 million, plus accrued and unpaid distributions through January 30, 2025 of approximately $10 million. PAA used a portion of the net proceeds from its January 2025 senior notes offering to fund this repurchase. See Note 7 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information regarding PAA’s Series A preferred units.
Distributions to Our Class A Shareholders
On August 14, 2025, we will pay a quarterly cash distribution of $0.38 per Class A share ($1.52 per Class A share on an annualized basis) to shareholders of record at the close of business on July 31, 2025 for the period from April 1, 2025 through June 30, 2025. See Note 7 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for details of distributions paid during the first six months of 2025.
Distributions to Noncontrolling Interests
Distributions to noncontrolling interests represent amounts paid on interests in consolidated entities that are not owned by us. As of June 30, 2025, noncontrolling interests in our subsidiaries consisted of (i) limited partner interests in PAA including a 69% interest in PAA’s common units and PAA’s Series A preferred units combined and 100% of PAA’s Series B preferred units, (ii) an approximate 15% limited partner interest in AAP, (iii) a 35% interest in the Permian JV, (iv) a 30% interest in Cactus II and (v) a 33% interest in Red River.
Distributions to PAA’s Series A preferred unitholders. On August 14, 2025, PAA will pay a quarterly cash distribution of approximately $0.615 per unit to its Series A preferred unitholders of record at the close of business on July 31, 2025 for the period from April 1, 2025 through June 30, 2025.
Distributions to PAA’s Series B preferred unitholders. On August 15, 2025, PAA will pay a quarterly cash distribution of approximately $22.23 per unit to its Series B preferred unitholders of record at the close of business on August 1, 2025 for the period from May 15, 2025 through August 14, 2025.
Distributions to PAA’s common unitholders. On August 14, 2025, PAA will pay a quarterly cash distribution of $0.38 per common unit ($1.52 per unit on an annualized basis) to common unitholders of record at the close of business on July 31, 2025 for the period from April 1, 2025 through June 30, 2025.
See Note 7 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for details of distributions paid during or pertaining to the six months ended June 30, 2025, including distributions to PAA’s preferred unitholders.
Contingencies
For a discussion of contingencies that may impact us, see Note 10 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Commitments
Purchase Obligations. In the ordinary course of doing business, we purchase crude oil from third parties under contracts, the majority of which range in term from thirty-day evergreen to five years, with a limited number of contracts with remaining terms extending up to 10 years. We establish a margin for these purchases by entering into various types of physical and financial sale and exchange transactions through which we seek to maintain a position that is substantially balanced between purchases on the one hand and sales and future delivery obligations on the other. We do not expect to use a significant amount of internal capital to meet these obligations, as the obligations will be funded by corresponding sales to entities that we deem creditworthy or who have provided credit support we consider adequate.
The following table includes our best estimate of the amount and timing of these payments as of June 30, 2025 (in millions):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Remainder of 2025 | | 2026 | | 2027 | | 2028 | | 2029 | | 2030 and Thereafter | | Total |
Crude oil and other purchases (1) | $ | 12,298 | | | $ | 20,019 | | | $ | 18,048 | | | $ | 15,599 | | | $ | 14,441 | | | $ | 31,236 | | | $ | 111,641 | |
(1)Amounts are primarily based on estimated volumes and market prices based on average activity during June 2025. The actual physical volume purchased and actual settlement prices will vary from the assumptions used in the table. Uncertainties involved in these estimates include levels of production at the wellhead, weather conditions, changes in market prices and other conditions beyond our control.
Letters of Credit. In connection with our merchant activities, we provide certain suppliers with irrevocable standby letters of credit to secure our obligation for the purchase and transportation of crude oil, NGL and natural gas. Our liabilities with respect to these purchase obligations are recorded in accounts payable on our balance sheet in the month the product is purchased. Generally, these letters of credit are issued for periods of up to seventy days and are terminated upon completion of each transaction. Additionally, we issue letters of credit to support insurance programs, derivative transactions, including hedging-related margin obligations, and construction activities. At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had outstanding letters of credit of approximately $81 million and $90 million, respectively.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
All statements included in this report, other than statements of historical fact, are forward-looking statements, including but not limited to statements incorporating the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “plan,” “intend” and “forecast,” as well as similar expressions and statements regarding our business strategy, plans and objectives for future operations. The absence of such words, expressions or statements, however, does not mean that the statements are not forward-looking. Any such forward-looking statements reflect our current views with respect to future events, based on what we believe to be reasonable assumptions. Certain factors could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from the results or outcomes anticipated in the forward-looking statements. The most important of these factors include, but are not limited to:
•our expected receipt of, and amounts of, distributions from Plains AAP, L.P., and the effect thereof on our ability to pay distributions to our Class A shareholders;
•general economic, market or business conditions in the United States and elsewhere (including the potential for a recession or significant slowdown in economic activity levels, the risk of persistently high inflation and supply chain issues, the impact of global public health events, such as pandemics, on demand and growth, and the timing, pace and extent of economic recovery) that impact (i) demand for crude oil, drilling and production activities and therefore the demand for the midstream services we provide and (ii) commercial opportunities available to us;
•declines in global crude oil demand and/or crude oil prices or other factors that correspondingly lead to a significant reduction of North American crude oil and natural gas liquids (“NGL”) production (whether due to reduced producer cash flow to fund drilling activities or the inability of producers to access capital, or both, the unavailability of pipeline and/or storage capacity, the shutting-in of production by producers, government-mandated pro-ration orders, or other factors), which in turn could result in significant declines in the actual or expected volume of crude oil and NGL shipped, processed, purchased, stored, fractionated and/or gathered at or through the use of our assets and/or the reduction of the margins we can earn or the commercial opportunities that might otherwise be available to us;
•fluctuations in refinery capacity and other factors affecting demand for various grades of crude oil and NGL and resulting changes in pricing conditions or transportation throughput requirements;
•unanticipated changes in crude oil and NGL market structure, grade differentials and volatility (or lack thereof);
•the effects of competition and capacity overbuild in areas where we operate, including downward pressure on rates, volumes and margins, contract renewal risk and the risk of loss of business to other midstream operators who are willing or under pressure to aggressively reduce transportation rates in order to capture or preserve customers;
•the availability of, and PAA’s ability to consummate, acquisitions, divestitures (including the pending divestiture of the Canadian NGL Business), joint ventures or other strategic opportunities and realize benefits therefrom;
•the successful operation of joint ventures and joint operating arrangements PAA enters into from time to time, whether relating to assets operated by PAA or by third parties, and the successful integration and future performance of acquired assets or businesses;
•environmental liabilities, litigation or other events that are not covered by an indemnity, insurance or existing reserves;
•negative societal sentiment regarding the hydrocarbon energy industry and the continued development and consumption of hydrocarbons, which could influence consumer preferences and governmental or regulatory actions that adversely impact our business;
•the occurrence of a natural disaster, catastrophe, terrorist attack (including eco-terrorist attacks) or other event that materially impacts our operations, including cyber or other attacks on our or our service providers’ electronic and computer systems;
•weather interference with business operations or project construction, including the impact of extreme weather events or conditions (including hurricanes, floods, wildfires and drought);
•the impact of current and future laws, rulings, legislation, governmental regulations, executive orders, trade policies, trade tariffs, accounting standards and statements, and related interpretations that (i) prohibit, restrict or regulate the development of oil and gas resources and the related infrastructure on lands dedicated to or served by our pipelines, (ii) negatively impact our ability to develop, operate or repair midstream assets, or (iii) otherwise negatively impact our business or increase our exposure to risk;
•negative impacts on production levels in the Permian Basin or elsewhere due to issues associated with (or laws, rules or regulations relating to) hydraulic fracturing and related activities (including wastewater injection or disposal), including earthquakes, subsidence, expansion or other issues;
•the pace of development of natural gas or other infrastructure and its impact on expected crude oil production growth in the Permian Basin;
•the refusal or inability of our customers or counterparties to perform their obligations under their contracts with us (including commercial contracts, asset sale agreements and other agreements), whether justified or not and whether due to financial constraints (such as reduced creditworthiness, liquidity issues or insolvency), market constraints, legal constraints (including governmental orders or guidance), the exercise of contractual or common law rights that allegedly excuse their performance (such as force majeure or similar claims) or other factors;
•loss of key personnel and inability to attract and retain new talent;
•disruptions to futures markets for crude oil, NGL and other petroleum products, which may impair our ability to execute our commercial or hedging strategies;
•the effectiveness of our risk management activities;
•shortages or cost increases of supplies, materials or labor;
•maintenance of PAA’s credit ratings and ability to receive open credit from our suppliers and trade counterparties;
•our inability to perform our obligations under our contracts, whether due to non-performance by third parties, including our customers or counterparties, market constraints, third-party constraints, supply chain issues, legal constraints (including governmental orders or guidance), or other factors or events;
•the incurrence of costs and expenses related to unexpected or unplanned capital or maintenance expenditures, third-party claims or other factors;
•failure to implement or capitalize, or delays in implementing or capitalizing, on investment capital projects, whether due to permitting delays, permitting withdrawals or other factors;
•tightened capital markets or other factors that increase our cost of capital or limit our ability to obtain debt or equity financing on satisfactory terms to fund additional acquisitions, investment capital projects, working capital requirements and the repayment or refinancing of indebtedness;
•the amplification of other risks caused by volatile or closed financial markets, capital constraints, liquidity concerns and inflation;
•the use or availability of third-party assets upon which our operations depend and over which we have little or no control;
•the currency exchange rate of the Canadian dollar to the United States dollar;
•the deferral of current revenue recognition attributable to deficiency payments received from customers who fail to ship or move their minimum contracted volumes;
•significant under-utilization of our assets and facilities;
•increased costs, or lack of availability, of insurance;
•fluctuations in the debt and equity markets, including the price of PAA’s units at the time of vesting under its long-term incentive plans;
•risks related to the development and operation of our assets; and
•other factors and uncertainties inherent in the transportation, storage, terminalling and marketing of crude oil, as well as in the processing, transportation, fractionation, storage and marketing of NGL.
Other factors described herein, as well as factors that are unknown or unpredictable, could also have a material adverse effect on future results. Please read “Risk Factors” discussed in Item 1A of our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Except as required by applicable securities laws, we do not intend to update these forward-looking statements and information.
Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are exposed to various market risks, including commodity price risk and interest rate risk. We use various derivative instruments to manage such risks and, in certain circumstances, to realize incremental margin during volatile market conditions. Our risk management policies and procedures are designed to help ensure that our hedging activities address our risks by monitoring our exchange-cleared and over-the-counter positions, as well as physical volumes, grades, locations, delivery schedules and storage capacity. We have a risk management function that has direct responsibility and authority for our risk policies, related controls around commercial activities and certain aspects of corporate risk management. Our risk management function also approves all new risk management strategies through a formal process. The following discussion addresses each category of risk.
Commodity Price Risk
We use derivative instruments to hedge price risk associated with the following commodities:
•Crude oil
We utilize crude oil derivatives to hedge commodity price risk inherent in our pipeline, terminalling and merchant activities. Our objectives for these derivatives include hedging changes in inventory positions associated with our lease gathering activities, anticipated purchases and sales, stored inventory and basis differentials. We manage these exposures with various instruments including futures, forwards, swaps and options.
•Power
We utilize power derivatives to hedge anticipated operational requirements related to our crude oil pipelines. We manage these exposures with various instruments including futures, swaps and options.
See Note 8 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion regarding our hedging strategies and objectives.
The fair value of our commodity derivatives and the change in fair value as of June 30, 2025 that would be expected from a 10% price increase or decrease is shown in the table below (in millions):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Fair Value | | Effect of 10% Price Increase | | Effect of 10% Price Decrease |
Crude oil | $ | 15 | | | $ | 7 | | | $ | (6) | |
Power | (6) | | | $ | 2 | | | $ | (2) | |
| | | | | |
Total fair value | $ | 9 | | | | | |
The fair values presented in the table above reflect the sensitivity of the derivative instruments only and do not include the effect of the underlying hedged commodity. Price-risk sensitivities were calculated by assuming an across-the-board 10% increase or decrease in price regardless of term or historical relationships between the contractual price of the instruments and the underlying commodity price. In the event of an actual 10% change in near-term commodity prices, the fair value of our derivative portfolio would typically change less than that shown in the table as changes in near-term prices are not typically mirrored in delivery months further out.
Interest Rate Risk
Debt. Our use of variable rate debt and any forecasted issuances of fixed rate debt expose us to interest rate risk. Therefore, from time to time, we use interest rate derivatives to hedge interest rate risk associated with anticipated interest payments and, in certain cases, outstanding debt instruments. All of PAA’s senior notes are fixed rate notes and thus are not subject to interest rate risk. PAA’s variable rate debt outstanding at June 30, 2025, approximately $462 million, was subject to interest rate resets that generally occur within one week or less. The average interest rate on variable rate debt that was outstanding during the six months ended June 30, 2025 was approximately 4.7%, based upon rates in effect during such period. The fair value of our interest rate derivatives was a net asset of $33 million as of June 30, 2025. A 10% increase in the forward SOFR curve as of June 30, 2025 would have resulted in an increase of $24 million to the fair value of our interest rate derivatives. A 10% decrease in the forward SOFR curve as of June 30, 2025 would have resulted in a decrease of $24 million to the fair value of our interest rate derivatives. See Note 8 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of our interest rate risk hedging activities.
Series B Preferred Units. Distributions on PAA’s Series B preferred units accumulate and are payable quarterly in arrears on the 15th day of February, May, August and November. Distributions on PAA’s Series B preferred units accumulate based on the applicable three-month SOFR, plus certain adjustments. Based upon the Series B preferred units outstanding at June 30, 2025 and the liquidation preference of $1,000 per unit, a change of 100 basis points in interest rates would increase or decrease the annual distributions on PAA’s Series B preferred units by approximately $8 million. See Note 11 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part IV of our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information regarding PAA’s Series B preferred unit distributions.
Currency Exchange Rate Risk
We use foreign currency derivatives to hedge foreign currency exchange rate risk associated with our exposure to fluctuations in the USD-to-CAD exchange rate. The fair value of our foreign currency derivatives was a liability of $49 million as of June 30, 2025. A 10% increase in the exchange rate (USD-to-CAD) would have resulted in an increase of $334 million to the fair value of our foreign currency derivatives. A 10% decrease in the exchange rate (USD-to-CAD) would have resulted in a decrease of $334 million to the fair value of our foreign currency derivatives. See Note 8 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding our currency exchange rate risk hedging.
Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain written disclosure controls and procedures, which we refer to as our “DCP.” Our DCP is designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and (ii) accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
