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").
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 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, Texas (the "Tyler Refinery"), El Dorado, Arkansas (the "El Dorado Refinery") and Big Spring, Texas (the "Big Spring Refinery").
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, 2023 (our "Annual Report on Form 10-K"), filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on February 28, 2024 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, 2023 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.
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 condensed consolidated statements, but does not currently expect adopting this new guidance will have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
2. 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 $ 4.4 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 months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023. 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 March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, 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 month periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.
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 2024. Total fees paid to the Partnership were $ 0.4 million for both the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, 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 5 - 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. In addition to these transactions, we purchase refined products and bulk biofuels from Delek Holdings, the costs of which are included in cost of materials and other-affiliate.

DKL Credit Facility
On October 13, 2022, the Partnership entered into a senior secured term loan with an original principal of $ 300.0 million (the "DKL Term Loan Facility"). 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”) which among other things, extended the maturity of the DKL Term Loan Facility to April 15, 2025. The outstanding principal balance of $ 281.3 million was paid on March 13, 2024 from a portion of the proceeds received with the issuance of the 2029 Notes as indicated below. At the Partnership's option, borrowings bore 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 was 2.50 % for the first year of the DKL Term Loan Facility and 3.00 % for the second year for U.S. dollar prime rate borrowings. SOFR rate borrowings included 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 December 31, 2023, the weighted average borrowing rate was approximately 9.46 %. Debt extinguishment costs were $ 2.1 million and are recorded in interest expense, net in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income.
On March 29, 2024, the Partnership entered into a Fourth Amendment to the fourth amended and restated senior secured revolving credit agreement (the "DKL Revolving Facility") which among other things increased the U.S. Revolving Credit Commitments (as defined in the DKL Credit Facility) by an amount equal to $ 100.0 million resulting in aggregate lender commitments under the Delek Logistics Revolving Credit Facility in an amount of $ 1,150.0 million, including up to $ 146.9 million for letters of credit and $ 31.9 million in swing line loans. This facility has a maturity date of October 13, 2027.
The DKL Revolving Facility requires a quarterly unused commitment fee based on average commitment usage, currently at 0.45 % 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 March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the weighted average interest rate was 8.18 % and 8.46 %, respectively. There were no letters of credit outstanding as of March 31, 2024 or December 31, 2023.
The obligations under the DKL Revolving Facility are secured by first priority liens on substantially all of the Partnership’s and its subsidiaries’ tangible and intangible assets. The carrying value of outstanding borrowings under the DKL Revolving Facility as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 approximate their fair values. Our debt facilities contain affirmative and negative covenants and events of default the Partnership considers usual and customary. As of March 31, 2024, 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.

8. 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.
The CODM evaluates performance based on EBITDA for planning and forecasting purposes. 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 marketing contract intangible, which is included as a component of net revenues in our accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income.
Assets by segment are not a measure used to assess the performance of the Partnership by the CODM and thus is not disclosed.

9. Commitments and Contingencies
Litigation
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.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
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.
10. Subsequent Events
Distribution Declaration
On April 25, 2024, our general partner's board of directors declared a quarterly cash distribution of $ 1.070 per unit, payable on May 15, 2024, to unitholders of record on May 8, 2024 .
