Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
1. Organization and Basis of Presentation
As used in this report, the terms "Delek Logistics Partners, LP," the "Partnership," "we," "us," or "our" may refer to Delek Logistics Partners, LP, one or more of its consolidated subsidiaries or all of them taken as a whole.
The Partnership is a Delaware limited partnership formed in April 2012 by Delek US Holdings, Inc. ("Delek Holdings") and its subsidiary Delek Logistics GP, LLC, our general partner (our "general partner"). On April 8, 2022, DKL Delaware Gathering, LLC, a subsidiary of the Partnership ("Delaware Gathering"), entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the “3 Bear Purchase Agreement”) with 3 Bear Energy – New Mexico LLC (the “Seller”) to purchase 100 % of the limited liability company interests in 3 Bear Delaware Holding – NM, LLC (“3 Bear”) (subsequently renamed to DKL Delaware Holding - NM, LLC), related to the Seller’s crude oil and natural gas gathering, processing and transportation businesses, as well as water disposal and recycling operations, in the Delaware Basin of New Mexico (the “Delaware Gathering Acquisition”). The Delaware Gathering Acquisition was completed on June 1, 2022 (the "Acquisition Date").
The Partnership provides gathering, pipeline and other transportation services primarily for crude oil and natural gas customers, storage, wholesale marketing and terminalling services primarily for intermediate and refined product customers, and water disposal and recycling services through its owned assets and joint ventures located primarily in the Permian Basin (including the Delaware sub-basin) and other select areas in the Gulf Coast region. A substantial majority of our existing assets are both integral to and dependent upon the success of Delek Holdings' refining operations, as many of our assets are contracted exclusively to Delek Holdings in support of its Tyler, El Dorado and Big Spring refineries.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") have been condensed or omitted, although management believes that the disclosures herein are adequate to make the financial information presented not misleading. Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with GAAP applied on a consistent basis with those of the annual audited financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 (our "Annual Report on Form 10-K"), filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on March 1, 2023 and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2022 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.
All adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been included. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Such intercompany transactions do not include those with Delek Holdings or our general partner, which are presented as related parties in these accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. All adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. Operating results for the interim period should not be viewed as representative of results that may be expected for any future interim period or for the full year.
Reclassifications
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified in order to conform to the current period presentation .
New Accounting Pronouncements Adopted During 2023
ASU 2023-03 , Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205), Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220), Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480), Equity (Topic 505), and Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718)
In July 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-03, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205), Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220), Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480), Equity (Topic 505), and Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718) (“ASU 2023-03”). This ASU amends or supersedes various SEC paragraphs within the FASB Accounting Standards Codification to conform to past SEC announcements and guidance issued by the SEC. ASU 2023-03 does not provide any new guidance, so there is no transition or effective date. We adopted ASU 2023-03 in July 2023. There was no material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
ASU 2023-06, Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC's Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative
In October 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-06 Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC's Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative ("ASU 2023-06"). The main provision of ASU 2023-06 is to clarify or improve disclosure and presentation requirements of a variety of topics, which will allow users to more easily compare entities subject to the SEC's existing disclosures with those entities that were not previously subject to the requirements, and align the requirements in the FASB accounting standard codification with the SEC's regulations. The effective date for each amendment will be the date on which the SEC’s removal of that related disclosure from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K becomes effective, with early adoption prohibited. The Partnership is currently evaluating the provisions of the amendments and the impact on its future consolidated statements, but does not currently expect adopting this new guidance will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
2. Acquisitions
Delaware Gathering (formerly 3 Bear)
We completed the Delaware Gathering Acquisition on June 1, 2022, in which we acquired crude oil and natural gas gathering, processing, and transportation and storage operations, as well as water disposal and recycling operations, located in the Delaware Basin of New Mexico. The purchase price for the Delaware Gathering Acquisition was $ 628.3 million. The Delaware Gathering Acquisition was financed through a combination of cash on hand and borrowings under the DKL Credit Facility.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, we incurred no incremental direct acquisition and integration costs. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we incurred $ 4.2 million and $ 10.6 million, respectively, in incremental direct acquisition and integration costs that principally consist of legal, advisory and other professional fees. Such costs are included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income for these periods.
The Delaware Gathering Acquisition was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting, whereby the purchase price was allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and the liabilities assumed based on their fair values. The excess of the consideration paid over the fair value of the net assets acquired was recorded as goodwill.
Determination of Purchase Price
The table below presents the purchase price (in thousands):
Base purchase price: $ 624,700
Add: closing net working capital (as defined in the 3 Bear Purchase Agreement)
3,600
Less: closing indebtedness (as defined in the 3 Bear Purchase Agreement)
( 80,618 )
Cash paid for the adjusted purchase price 547,682
Cash paid to payoff 3 Bear credit agreement (as defined in the 3 Bear Purchase Agreement) 80,618
Purchase price $ 628,300

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
Purchase Price Allocation
The following table summarizes the final fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the Delaware Gathering Acquisition as of June 1, 2022 (in thousands):
Assets acquired:
Cash and cash equivalents $ 2,678
Accounts receivables, net 28,859
Inventories 1,836
Other current assets 986
Property, plant and equipment 382,799
Operating lease right-of-use assets 7,427
Goodwill 14,848
Customer relationship intangible, net 210,000
Rights-of-way 13,490
Other non-current assets 500
Total assets acquired 663,423
Liabilities assumed:
Accounts payable 8,020
Accrued expenses and other current liabilities 22,382
Current portion of operating lease liabilities 1,029
Asset retirement obligations 2,261
Operating lease liabilities, net of current portion 1,431
Total liabilities assumed 35,123
Fair value of net assets acquired $ 628,300
The fair value of property, plant and equipment was based on the combination of the cost and market approaches. Key assumptions in the cost approach include determining the replacement cost by evaluating recently published data and adjusting replacement cost for physical deterioration, functional and economic obsolescence. We used the market approach to measure the value of certain assets through an analysis of recent sales or offerings of comparable properties.
The fair value of customer relationships was based on the income approach. Key assumptions in the income approach include projected revenue attributable to customer relationships, attrition rate, operating margins and discount rates.
The fair values discussed above were based on significant inputs that are not observable in the market and, therefore, represent Level 3 measurements.
The fair values of all other current assets and payables were equivalent to their carrying values due to their short-term nature.
The goodwill recognized in the Delaware Gathering Acquisition is primarily attributable to enhancing our third party revenues, further diversification of our customer and product mix, expanding our footprint into the Delaware basin and bolstering our Environmental, Social and Governance ("ESG") optionality through furthering carbon capture opportunities and greenhouse gas reduction projects currently underway. This goodwill is deductible for income tax purposes. Goodwill related to the Delaware Gathering Acquisition is included in the Gathering and Processing segment.
Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information
The following table summarizes the unaudited pro forma financial information of the Partnership assuming the Delaware Gathering Acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2021. The unaudited pro forma financial information has been adjusted to give effect to certain pro forma adjustments that are directly related to the Delaware Gathering Acquisition based on available information and certain assumptions that management believes are factually supportable. The most significant pro forma adjustments relate to (i) incremental interest expense and amortization of deferred financing costs associated with revolving credit facility borrowings incurred in connection with the Delaware Gathering Acquisition, (ii) incremental depreciation resulting from the estimated fair values of acquired property, plant and equipment, (iii) incremental amortization resulting from the estimated fair value of the acquired customer relationship intangibles, (iv) accounting policy alignment and (v) transaction costs. The unaudited pro forma financial information excludes any expected cost savings or other synergies as a result of the Delaware Gathering Acquisition. The unaudited pro forma financial information is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that would have been achieved had the Delaware Gathering Acquisition been effective as of the date presented, nor is it indicative of future operating results of the combined company. Actual results may differ significantly from the unaudited pro forma financial information.

3. Related Party Transactions
Commercial Agreements
The Partnership has a number of long-term, fee-based commercial agreements with Delek Holdings under which we provide various services, including crude oil gathering and crude oil, intermediate and refined products transportation and storage services, and marketing, terminalling and offloading services to Delek Holdings. Most of these agreements have an initial term ranging from five to ten years , which may be extended for various renewal terms at the option of Delek Holdings. The fees under each agreement are payable to us monthly by Delek Holdings or certain third parties to whom Delek Holdings has assigned certain of its rights and are generally subject to increase or decrease on July 1 of each year, by the amount of any change in various inflation-based indices, however, in no event will the fees be adjusted below the amount initially set forth in the applicable agreement. Under each of these agreements, we are required to maintain the capabilities of our pipelines and terminals, such that Delek Holdings may throughput and/or store, as the case may be, specified volumes of crude oil, intermediate and refined products.
See our Annual Report on Form 10-K for a more complete description of our material commercial agreements and other agreements with Delek Holdings.
Other Agreements with Delek Holdings
In addition to the commercial agreements described above, the Partnership has entered into the following agreements with Delek Holdings:
Omnibus Agreement
The Partnership entered into an omnibus agreement with Delek Holdings, our general partner, Delek Logistics Operating, LLC, Lion Oil Company, LLC and certain of the Partnership’s and Delek Holdings' other subsidiaries on November 7, 2012, which has been amended and restated from time to time in connection with acquisitions from Delek Holdings (collectively, as amended and restated, the "Omnibus Agreement"). The Omnibus Agreement governs the provision of certain operational services and reimbursement obligations, among other matters, between the Partnership and Delek Holdings, and obligates us to pay an annual fee of $ 4.3 million to Delek Holdings for its provision of centralized corporate services to the Partnership.
Pursuant to the terms of the Omnibus Agreement, we are reimbursed by Delek Holdings for certain capital expenditures. These amounts are recorded in other long-term liabilities and are amortized to revenue over the life of the underlying revenue agreement corresponding to the asset. There was no reimbursement by Delek Holdings during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023. We were reimbursed a nominal amount by Delek Holdings during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, with no such reimbursements during the three months ended September 30, 2022. Additionally, we are reimbursed or indemnified, as the case may be, for costs incurred in excess of certain amounts related to certain asset failures, pursuant to the terms of the Omnibus Agreement. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there was no receivable from related parties for these matters. These reimbursements are recorded as reductions to operating expenses. There were no reimbursements for these matters in each of the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2023 and 2022.
Other Transactions
The Partnership manages long-term capital projects on behalf of Delek Holdings pursuant to a construction management and operating agreement (the "DPG Management Agreement") for the construction of gathering systems in the Permian Basin. The majority of the gathering systems have been constructed, however, additional costs pertaining to a pipeline connection that was not acquired by the Partnership continue to be incurred and are still subject to the terms of the DPG Management Agreement. The Partnership is also considered the operator for the project and is responsible for oversight of the project design, procurement and construction of project segments and provides other related services. Pursuant to the terms of the DPG Management Agreement, the Partnership receives a monthly operating services fee and a construction services fee, which includes the Partnership's direct costs of managing the project plus an additional percentage fee of the construction costs of each project segment. The agreement extends through December 2023. Total fees paid to the Partnership were $ 0.4 million for both the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $ 1.2 million for both the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, which are recorded in affiliate revenue in our condensed consolidated statements of income. Additionally, the Partnership incurs the costs in connection with the construction of the assets and is subsequently reimbursed by Delek Holdings. Amounts reimbursable by Delek Holdings are recorded in accounts receivable from related parties.

Related Party Revolving Credit Facility
On November 6, 2023, the Partnership and certain of its subsidiaries, as guarantors, entered into the Related Party Revolving Credit Facility (as defined below) with Delek Holdings. See Note 6 - Long-Term Obligations for further information.
Summary of Transactions
Revenues from affiliates consist primarily of revenues from gathering, transportation, storage, offloading, Renewable Identification Numbers, wholesale marketing and products terminalling services provided primarily to Delek Holdings based on regulated tariff rates or contractually based fees and product sales. Affiliate operating expenses are primarily comprised of amounts we reimburse Delek Holdings, or our general partner, as the case may be, for the services provided to us under the Partnership Agreement. These expenses could also include reimbursement and indemnification amounts from Delek Holdings, as provided under the Omnibus Agreement. Additionally, the Partnership is required to reimburse Delek Holdings for direct or allocated costs and expenses incurred by Delek Holdings on behalf of the Partnership and for charges Delek Holdings incurred for the management and operation of our logistics assets, including an annual fee for various centralized corporate services, which are included in general and administrative expenses.

5. Net Income per Unit
Basic net income per unit applicable to limited partners is computed by dividing limited partners' interest in net income by the weighted-average number of outstanding common units. Diluted net income per unit applicable to common limited partners includes the effects of potentially dilutive units on our common units. As of September 30, 2023, the only potentially dilutive units outstanding consist of unvested phantom units.
The table below represents total cash distributions applicable to the period in which the distributions are earned. Payments made to our unitholders are determined in relation to actual distributions declared and are not based on the net income allocations used in the calculation of net income per unit.

DKL Credit Facility
The DKL Term Facility principal of $ 300.0 million was drawn on October 13, 2022. On November 6, 2023, the Partnership entered into a First Amendment, a Second Amendment and a Third Amendment to the DKL Credit Facility (together, the “Amendments” ) to the DKL Credit Facility to extend the maturity of the Term Loan Facility to April 15, 2025. In addition, the Amendments added a maturity acceleration clause which will accelerate the maturity of the DKL Term Loan Facility to 180 days prior to the stated maturity date of the 2025 Notes if any of the 2025 Notes remain outstanding on that date. This senior secured facility requires four quarterly amortization payments of $ 3.8 million in 2023, four quarterly amortization payments of $ 7.5 million in 2024 and one quarterly amortization payment of $ 7.5 million in 2025 with final maturity and principal due on April 15, 2025. At the Partnership's option, borrowings bear interest at either the Adjusted Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate benchmark (“SOFR”) or U.S. dollar prime rate, plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin is 2.50 % for the first year of the DKL Term Facility and 3.00 % for the second year for U.S. dollar prime rate borrowings. SOFR rate borrowings include a credit spread adjustment of 0.10 % to 0.25 % plus an applicable margin of 3.50 % for the first year and 4.00 % for the second year. At September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the weighted average borrowing rate was approximately 8.92 % and 7.92 %, respectively. The effective interest rate was 9.48 % as of September 30, 2023.
The DKL Revolving Facility has a total capacity of $ 900.0 million, including up to $ 115.0 million for letters of credit and $ 25.0 million in swing line loans. This facility has a maturity date of October 13, 2027 which will accelerate to 180 days prior to the stated maturity date of the Delek Logistics 2025 Notes if any of the Delek Logistics 2025 Notes remain outstanding on that date. On November 6, 2023, the Partnership entered into the Amendments which among other things: (i) increased the U.S. Revolving Credit Commitments (as defined in the DKL Credit Facility) by an amount equal to $ 150.0 million, resulting in aggregate lender commitments under the DKL Revolving Credit Facility in an amount of $ 1.050 billion and (ii) increased the limit allowed for general unsecured debt (as defined in the DKL Credit Facility) by an amount equal to $ 95.0 million, resulting in an unsecured general debt limit of $ 150.0 million.
The DKL Revolving Facility requires a quarterly unused commitment fee based on average commitment usage, currently at 0.50 % per annum. Interest is measured at either the U.S. dollar prime rate plus an applicable margin of 1.00 % to 2.00 % depending on the Partnership’s Total Leverage Ratio (as defined in the DKL Credit Agreement), or a SOFR rate plus a credit spread adjustment of 0.10 % or 0.25 % and an applicable margin ranging from 2.00 % to 3.00 % depending on the Partnership’s Total Leverage Ratio. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the weighted average interest rate was 8.45 % and 7.55 %, respectively. There were no letters of credit outstanding as of September 30, 2023 or December 31, 2022.
The obligations under the 2022 DKL Credit Facility are secured by first priority liens on substantially all of the Partnership’s and its subsidiaries’ tangible and intangible assets. The carrying values of outstanding borrowings under the 2022 DKL Credit Facility as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 approximate their fair values.
Our debt facilities contain affirmative and negative covenants and events of default the Partnership considers usual and customary. As of September 30, 2023, we were in compliance with covenants on all of our debt instruments.
Related Party Revolving Credit Facility
On November 6, 2023, the Partnership and certain of its subsidiaries, as guarantors, entered into a certain Promissory Note (the “Related Party Revolving Credit Facility”) with Delek Holdings. The Related Party Revolving Credit Facility provides for revolving borrowings with aggregate commitments of $ 70.0 million comprised of a (i) $ 55.0 million senior tranche and a (ii) $ 15.0 million subordinated tranche (the “Subordinated Tranche”), with the initial borrowings under the Subordinated Tranche conditioned upon the Partnership and Delek Holdings reaching an agreement with Fifth Third Bank, National Association, as administrative agent under the DKL Credit Facility, on subordination provisions and other material terms related to the Subordinated Tranche. The Related Party Revolving Credit Facility will bear interest at Term SOFR (as defined in the Related Party Revolving Credit Facility) plus 3.00 %. The Related Party Revolving Credit Facility proceeds will be used for the Partnership’s working capital purposes and other general corporate purposes. The Related Party Revolving Credit Facility will mature on June 30, 2028. The Related Party Revolving Credit Facility contains certain affirmative covenants, mandatory prepayments and events of

We do not consolidate any part of the assets or liabilities or operating results of our equity method investees. Our share of net income or loss of the investees will increase or decrease, as applicable, the carrying value of our investments in unconsolidated affiliates. With respect to our equity method investments, we determined that these entities do not represent variable interest entities and consolidation is not required. We have the ability to exercise significant influence over each of these joint ventures through our participation in the management committees, which make all significant decisions. However, since all significant decisions require the consent of the other investor(s) without regard to economic interest, we have determined that we have joint control and have applied the equity method of accounting. Our investment in these joint ventures is reflected in our investments in pipeline joint ventures segment.

9. Segment Data
We aggregate our operating segments into four reportable segments: (i) gathering and processing; (ii) wholesale marketing and terminalling; (iii) storage and transportation; and (iv) investment in pipeline joint ventures. Operations that are not specifically included in the reportable segments are included in Corporate and other segment.
During the fourth quarter 2022, we realigned our reportable segments for financial reporting purposes to reflect changes in the manner in which our Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") uses financial information to make key operating decisions and assess performance. The changes primarily represent reporting the operating results of our pipeline operations and legacy gathering assets and the operating results of the Delaware Gathering operations within a new reportable segment called gathering and processing. Prior to this change, the pipeline operations and legacy gathering assets were reported as part of the pipelines and transportation segment. The remaining operations of the former pipelines and transportation reportable segment was renamed to storage and transportation. Unallocated corporate costs, including general and administrative expenses, interest expense and depreciation and amortization, are now presented in corporate and other. Additionally, the CODM determined that Segment EBITDA is the key performance measure for planning and forecasting purposes and discontinued the use of Contribution Margin as a measure of performance. While this reporting change did not change our consolidated results, segment data for previous years has been restated and is consistent with the current year presentation throughout the financial statements and the accompanying notes.
EBITDA is an important measure used by management to evaluate the financial performance of our core operations. EBITDA is not a GAAP measure, but the components of EBITDA are computed using amounts that are determined in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of EBITDA to Net Income is included in the tables below. We define EBITDA as net income (loss) before net interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization expense, including amortization of customer contract intangible assets, which is included as a component of net revenues in our accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income.
Assets by segment is not a measure used to assess the performance of the Partnership by the CODM and thus is not disclosed.

In the ordinary conduct of our business, we are from time to time subject to lawsuits, investigations and claims, including environmental claims and employee-related matters. Although we cannot predict with certainty the ultimate resolution of lawsuits, investigations and claims asserted against us, including civil penalties or other enforcement actions, we do not believe that any currently pending legal proceeding or proceedings to which we are a party will have a material adverse effect on our financial statements.
Environmental, Health and Safety
We are subject to extensive federal, state and local environmental and safety laws and regulations enforced by various agencies, including the Environmental Protection Agency (the "EPA"), the United States Department of Transportation, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, as well as numerous state, regional and local environmental, safety and pipeline agencies. These laws and regulations govern the discharge of materials into the environment, waste management practices and pollution prevention measures, as well as the safe operation of our pipelines and the safety of our workers and the public. Numerous permits or other authorizations are required under these laws and regulations for the operation of our terminals, pipelines, saltwells, trucks and related operations, and may be subject to revocation, modification and renewal.
These laws and permits raise potential exposure to future claims and lawsuits involving environmental and safety matters, which could include soil, surface water and groundwater contamination, air pollution, personal injury and property damage allegedly caused by substances which we may have handled, used, released or disposed of, transported, or that relate to pre-existing conditions for which we may have assumed responsibility. We believe that our current operations are in substantial compliance with existing environmental and safety requirements. However, there have been and we expect that there will continue to be ongoing discussions about environmental and safety matters between us and federal and state authorities, including the receipt and response to notices of violations, citations and other enforcement actions, some of which have resulted or may result in changes to operating procedures and in capital expenditures. While it is often difficult to quantify future environmental or safety related expenditures, we anticipate that continuing capital investments and changes in operating procedures will be required to comply with existing and new requirements, as well as evolving interpretations and enforcement of existing laws and regulations.
Releases of hydrocarbons or hazardous substances into the environment could, to the extent the event is not insured, or is not a reimbursable event under the Omnibus Agreement, subject us to substantial expenses, including costs to respond to, contain and remediate a release, to comply with applicable laws and regulations and to resolve claims by governmental agencies or other persons for personal injury, property damage, response costs, or natural resources damages.
