Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
Delek Logistics Partners, LP
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").
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 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").
On August 5, 2024, the Partnership acquired Permian Pipeline Holdings, LLC, which holds 50 % equity interests in Wink to Webster Holdings, LLC ("W2W Holdings"), (the "W2W Investment") from a wholly owned subsidiary of Delek Holdings. W2W Holdings includes a 15.6 % indirect interest in the Wink to Webster Pipeline, LLC joint venture ("Wink to Webster"), and related joint venture indebtedness. Wink to Webster owns and operates a long-haul crude oil pipeline system with origin points at Wink and Midland in the Permian Basin and delivery points at multiple Houston area locations.
On September 11, 2024, the Partnership completed the acquisition of 100 % of the limited liability company interests in H2O Midstream Intermediate, LLC, H2O Midstream Permian LLC, and H2O Midstream LLC (the “H2O Midstream Acquisition”) from H2O Midstream Holdings, LLC (the “Seller"). The acquisition included water disposal and recycling operations in the Midland Basin in Texas. See Note 2 for further information.
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.
Leases
In accordance with ASC 842-20, Leases - Lessee ("ASC 842-20"), we classify leases with contractual terms longer than twelve months as either operating or finance. Finance leases are generally those leases that are highly specialized or allow us to substantially utilize or pay for the entire asset over its useful life. All other leases are classified as operating leases.
The Partnership leases land, buildings and various equipment primarily under operating lease arrangements, most of which provide the option, after the initial lease term, to renew the leases. Some of these lease arrangements include fixed lease rate increases, while others include lease rate increases based upon such factors as changes, if any, in defined inflationary indices.
For all leases that include fixed rental rate increases, these are included in our fixed lease payments. Our leases may include variable payments, based on changes on price or other indices, that are expensed as incurred.
The Partnership calculates the total lease expense for the entire noncancelable lease period, considering renewals for all periods for which it is reasonably certain to be exercised, and records lease expense on a straight-line basis in the accompanying consolidated statements of income. Accordingly, a lease liability is recognized for these leases and is calculated to be the present value of the fixed lease payments, as defined by ASC 842-20, using a discount rate based on our incremental borrowing rate. A corresponding right-of-use asset is recognized based on the lease liability and adjusted for certain costs and prepayments. The right-of-use asset is amortized over the noncancelable lease period, considering renewals for all periods for which it is reasonably certain to be exercised. For substantially all classes of underlying assets, we have elected the practical expedient not to separate lease and non-lease components, which allows us to combine the components if certain criteria are met.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
As a lessor under ASC 842, the Partnership may be required to re-classify existing operating leases to sales-type leases upon modification and related reassessment of the leases. The net investment in sales-type leases with related parties is recorded within lease receivable - affiliate and net lease investment - affiliate on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. These amounts are comprised of the present value of the sum of the future minimum lease payments representing the value of the lease receivable and the unguaranteed residual value of the leased assets. Management assesses the net investment in sales-type leases for recoverability quarterly. See Note 12 for further information.
Accounting Pronouncements Adopted in 2024
ASU 2024-02, Codification Improvements - Amendments to Remove References to the Concepts Statements
In March 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2024-02 Codification Improvements - Amendments to Remove References to the Concepts Statements ("ASU 2024-02"), which amends the Accounting Standards Codification ("Codification") to remove references to various concepts statements and impacts a variety of topics in the Codification. The ASU is intended to simplify the Codification and draw a distinction between authoritative and non-authoritative literature. ASU 2024-02 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted and can be applied on either a prospective or retroactive basis. This update did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporti ng (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07 Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures ("ASU 2023-07"). ASU 2023-07 expands reportable segment disclosure requirements by requiring disclosures of significant reportable segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief decision maker ("CODM") and included within each reported measure of a segment's profit or loss, an amount and description of its composition for other segment items, and interim disclosures of a reportable segment's profit or loss and assets. The ASU also requires disclosure of the title and position of the individual or the group identified as the CODM and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measures of a segment's profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources. ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and should be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The adoption of ASU 2023-07 will result in additional segment reporting disclosure requirements but is not anticipated to have a significant impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
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. Acquisitions
H2O Midstream Acquisition
We completed the H2O Midstream Acquisition on September 11, 2024, in which we acquired water disposal and recycling operations, in the Midland Basin in Texas (the "Midland Water Gathering System"), for total consideration of $ 229.5 million subject to customary adjustments for net working capital and indebtedness ("H2O Transaction"). The purchase price was comprised of approximately of $ 159.5 million in cash and $ 70.0 million of Preferred Units (as defined in Note 8). See Note 8 for further information on Preferred Units. The cash portion was financed through a combination of cash on hand and borrowings under the DKL Credit Facility (as defined in Note 6 ).
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, we incurred $ 6.1 million 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 and comprehensive income for these periods.
Our consolidated financial and operating results reflect the H2O Midstream Acquisition operations beginning September 11, 2024. Our results of operations included revenue and net income of $ 3.6 million and $ 1.3 million, respectively, for the period from September 11, 2024 through September 30, 2024 related to these operations.
This 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.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Determination of Purchase Price (1)
The table below presents the estimated purchase price (in thousands):
Base purchase price: $ 230,000
Less: closing net working capital (as defined in the H2O Midstream Purchase Agreement)
( 2,508 )
Plus: various closing adjustments
2,003
Adjusted purchase price $ 229,495
Cash paid $ 159,495
Fair value of preferred units issued 70,000
Preliminary purchase price $ 229,495
(1) These amounts are based upon estimates at closing, but are subject to a subsequent review and revision period pursuant to the H2O Midstream Acquisition agreement at which time final settlements for these components will be determined. Such subsequent adjustments may result in changes to the preliminary purchase price.
Purchase Price Allocation
The following table summarizes the preliminary fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the H2O Midstream Acquisition as of September 11, 2024 (in thousands):
Assets acquired:
Accounts receivables 6,643
Inventories 2,448
Other current assets 879
Property, plant and equipment 174,548
Operating lease right-of-use assets 470
Customer relationship intangible (1)
24,006
Other intangibles (1)
34,841
Other non-current assets 21
Total assets acquired $ 243,856
Liabilities assumed:
Accounts payable $ 3,954
Accrued expenses and other current liabilities 5,059
Current portion of operating lease liabilities 278
Asset retirement obligations 4,851
Operating lease liabilities, net of current portion 219
Total liabilities assumed 14,361
Fair value of net assets acquired $ 229,495
(1) The acquired intangible assets include the following identified intangibles:
• Rights-of-way intangibles valued at $ 30.1 million, of which, the majority has an indefinite life.
• Favorable supply contract intangible that is subject to amortization with a preliminary fair value of $ 4.8 million which will be amortized over a 4.8 years useful life. The estimated amortization is $ 1.0 million for each of the next four fiscal years, and $ 0.4 million in the fifth succeeding fiscal year.
• The Customer relationship intangible that is subject to amortization with a preliminary fair value of $ 24.0 million, which will be amortized over an 12.6 years useful life. The estimated amortization is $ 1.9 million for each of the five succeeding fiscal years.
The amortization expense related to the above intangible assets for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 was immaterial.
These fair value estimates are preliminary and therefore, the final fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed and the resulting effect on our financial position may change once all necessary information has become available, the final working capital adjustment is complete, and we finalize our valuations. To the extent possible, estimates have been considered and recorded, as appropriate, for the items above based on the information available as of September 30, 2024. We will continue to evaluate these items until they are satisfactorily resolved and adjust our purchase price allocation accordingly, within the allowable measurement period (not to exceed one year from the date of acquisition), as defined by Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 805, Business Combinations ("ASC 805").

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
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.
Customer relationships were valued using the income approach, with essential assumptions including projected revenues from these relationships, attrition rates, 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. For all other current assets and payables, their fair values were considered equivalent to their carrying amounts due to their short-term nature.
Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information
The following table summarizes the unaudited pro forma financial information of the Partnership assuming the H2O Midstream Acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2023. The unaudited pro forma financial information has been adjusted to give effect to certain pro forma adjustments that are directly related to this 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 associated with revolving credit facility borrowings incurred in connection with this 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 intangible and, (iv) transaction costs. The unaudited pro forma financial information excludes any expected cost savings or other synergies as a result of this acquisition. The unaudited pro forma financial information is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that would have been achieved had this acquisition been effective as of the date presented, nor is it indicative of future operating results of the combined company.

Wink to Webster Pipeline Investment Acquisition
On August 5, 2024, the Partnership acquired Permian Pipeline Holdings, LLC, which holds 50 % equity interests in W2W Holdings, from a wholly owned subsidiary of Delek Holdings. W2W Holdings includes a 15.6 % indirect interest in Wink to Webster, and related joint venture indebtedness. Wink to Webster owns and operates a long-haul crude oil pipeline system with origin points at Wink and Midland in the Permian Basin and delivery points at multiple Houston area locations. Total consideration was comprised of $ 83.9 million in cash (including $ 2.7 million post-closing adjustment), forgiveness of a $ 60.0 million receivable from Delek Holdings and 2,300,000 of common units representing limited partnership interest in us.
This acquisition was considered a transaction between entities under common control. Accordingly, the equity interests acquired were recorded at amounts based on Delek Holdings' historical carrying value as of the acquisition date. The carrying value of the equity interests as of the acquisition date was $ 81.1 million. Pursuant to common control guidance, we recorded a reduction to equity of $ 62.8 million, included in contributions in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of partners' equity, representing the net carrying amount of the equity interest acquired less the consideration paid. No value was assigned to the 2,300,000 common units issued. Prior periods have not been recast as these assets do not constitute a business in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations .
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.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
See our Annual Report on Form 10-K for a more complete description of our material commercial agreements and other agreements with Delek Holdings.
On August 5, 2024, the Partnership amended and extended expired, or soon to be expired, commercial agreements with subsidiaries of 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. These amendments required the embedded leases within these agreements to be reassessed under ASC 842. As a result, certain leases were reclassified from operating leases to sales-type leases (see Note 12 for further information on sales-type leases). These agreements have an initial term of five to seven years , with the ability to extend for an additional five years at Delek Holdings' option and were effective as of July 1, 2024. Certain of these contracts had rate adjustments to be phased in over 2025 and 2026.
In addition, on August 5, 2024, the Partnership entered into an assignment agreement with Delek Holdings to assign its rights and obligations under the Big Spring Refinery Marketing Agreement to Delek Holdings. As consideration for this agreement, the Partnership redeemed 2,500,000 common units representing limited partnership interest in us held by Delek Holdings. Associated with such marketing agreement was a contract intangible with a carrying value of $ 97.9 million at the closing date of the assignment. This intangible was transferred to Delek Holdings in conjunction with the assignment.
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
On November 7, 2012, 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, 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.
On August 5, 2024 we entered into an amended and restated Omnibus Agreement with Delek Holdings that provides Delek Holdings an option to purchase certain critical assets from us at market value during the period beginning upon any change in control or sale of substantially all assets involving us and extending (i) in the case of a transaction involving a third party, for six months following closing, and (ii) for any other transaction, for four years following closing.
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 were no reimbursements by Delek Holdings during each of three and nine months periods ended September 30, 2024 or the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 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 September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there was no receivable from related parties for these matters. These reimbursements are recorded as reductions to operating expense. There were no reimbursements for these matters in each of the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2024 or the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 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 September 30, 2024 and 2023 and $ 1.2 million for both the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, which are recorded in affiliate revenue in our accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive 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.

5. Net Income per Unit
We use the two-class method when calculating the net income per unit applicable to limited partners, because we have more than one participating class of securities. Our participating securities consist of common units and preferred units.
The two-class method is based on the weighted-average number of common units outstanding during the period. Basic net income per unit applicable to common limited partners is computed by dividing limited partners’ interest in net income allocated to participating securities by the weighted-average number of outstanding common units. Undistributed earnings are allocated to our preferred unitholders and limited partners based on their respective ownership interests. During a period of net loss or negative undistributed earnings, the two-class method is not applicable.
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, 2024, the only potentially dilutive units outstanding consist of unvested phantom units.
The calculation of net income per unit is as follows (in thousands, except unit and per unit amounts):
Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30,
2024 2023 2024 2023
Net income attributable to partners $ 33,674 $ 34,825 $ 107,380 $ 104,088

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 (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 and comprehensive income.
On March 29, 2024, the Partnership entered into a Fourth Amendment to the 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 0.40 % 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, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the weighted average interest rate was 7.70 % and 8.46 %, respectively. There were no letters of credit outstanding as of September 30, 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 September 30, 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 September 30, 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 provided 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 bore interest at Term SOFR (as defined in the Related Party Revolving Credit Facility) plus 3.00 %. The Related Party Revolving Credit Facility proceeds were available for the Partnership’s working capital purposes and other general corporate purposes. On May 2, 2024, the Boards of Directors of Delek Holdings and our general partner authorized the termination of the intercompany loan agreement between Delek Holdings and the Partnership, which was effective on May 31, 2024.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
At any time, the Partnership may redeem, in whole or part, the Preferred Units at a redemption price of $ 1,000 per Preferred Unit plus the amount of accrued but unpaid distributions and a make whole amount, to be settled in cash. In addition, at any time prior to October 31, 2027, if the Partnership completes an offering of common units or Preferred Units, the Partnership shall redeem an amount of the Preferred Units not to exceed the amount equal to the net cash proceeds to the Partnership from such offering, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses payable by the Partnership at a redemption price of $ 1,000 per Preferred Unit plus the amount of accrued but unpaid distributions and a make whole amount.

Preferred Unit Voting Rights
The holders of Preferred Units are entitled to vote on an as-converted basis with the common unitholders.
Financial Statement Presentation
Preferred units are considered redeemable securities under GAAP due to the existence of redemption provisions upon a deemed liquidation event, which is outside the Partnership’s control. Therefore, they are presented as temporary equity in the mezzanine section of the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Preferred Units have been recorded at their issuance date fair value. Income allocations increase the carrying value and declared distributions decrease the carrying value of the Preferred Units.
For a summary of changes in the Preferred Units balance for 2024, see the condensed consolidated statements of partners' equity (deficit).
Redemption of Preferred Units
As a result of our public offering of common units completed on October 10, 2024, the Partnership redeemed all 70,000 of the Preferred Units for at a redemption price of $ 1,000 per unit. Total redemption payment was $ 70.8 million, including payment made for pro-rata distribution.
9. Equity Method Investments
The Partnership owns a 33 % membership interest in Red River Pipeline Company LLC ("Red River"), a joint venture operated with Plains Pipeline, L.P. Red River owns a 16-inch crude oil pipeline running from Cushing, Oklahoma to Longview, Texas with capacity of 235,000 bpd. Additionally, we have two pipeline joint ventures, in which we own a 50 % membership interest in the entity formed with an affiliate of Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. ("CP LLC") to operate one of these pipeline systems and a 33 % membership interest in the entity formed with Andeavor Logistics RIO Pipeline LLC ("Andeavor Logistics") to operate the other pipeline system.
On August 5, 2024, the Partnership acquired Permian Pipeline Holdings, LLC, which holds 50 % equity interests in W2W Holdings, from a wholly owned subsidiary of Delek Holdings. W2W Holdings includes a 15.6 % indirect interest in the Wink to Webster joint venture, and related joint venture indebtedness.
W2W Holdings was originally formed by Delek Holdings and MPLX Operations LLC to obtain financing and fund capital calls associated with its collective and contributed interests in Wink to Webster. Wink to Webster owns and operates a long-haul crude oil pipeline system with origin points at Wink and Midland in the Permian Basin and delivery points at multiple Houston area locations. We determined that W2W Holdings is a VIE. While we have the ability to exert significant influence through participation in board and management committees, we are not the primary beneficiary since we do not have a controlling financial interest in W2W Holdings, and no single party has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact W2W Holdings' economic performance.
As of September 30, 2024, except for the guarantee of member obligations under the joint venture, we do not have other guarantees with or to W2W Holdings, nor any third-party associated with W2W Holdings contracted work. The Partnership's maximum exposure to any losses incurred by W2W Holdings is limited to its investment.
The Partnership's investment balances in these joint ventures were as follows (in thousands):
As of September 30, 2024 As of December 31, 2023
Red River $ 138,982 $ 141,091
W2W Holdings 87,511 —
CP LLC 59,791 61,273
Andeavor Logistics 36,461 38,973

10. 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 and comprehensive income.
Assets by segment are not a measure used to assess the performance of the Partnership by the CODM and thus is not disclosed.

11. 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.
Texas Department of Transportation Settlement
Beginning in August 2023, the Partnership was involved in litigation with the State of Texas Department of Transportation. The subject of the litigation was the expansion of the highway where the Partnership's Nettleton Station is situated. As a result of this expansion, two tanks owned by the Partnership were impacted. This litigation was settled in the second quarter of 2024 and resulted in the Partnership recovering $ 8.3 million in condemnation proceeds, which are recorded in other operating income, net in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income.

Notes to Consolidated 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.
12. Leases
Lessor
We are the lessor under certain agreements for gathering, transportation, storage, terminalling, and offloading with Delek Holdings. These agreements have remaining terms ranging from more than two years to more than 11 years with renewal options ranging from two years to 10 years, and some agreements have multiple renewal options. Revenue from these leases are recorded in affiliate revenue in the condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. We elected the practical expedient to carry forward historical lease classification conclusions until a modification of an existing agreement occurs. Once a modification occurs, the amended agreement is required to be assessed under ASC 842, to determine whether a reclassification of the lease is required.
During the third quarter of 2024, we executed amendments to certain agreements between the Partnership and Delek Holdings. The amendments required the embedded leases within these agreements to be reassessed under ASC 842. As a result of these lease assessments, certain leases were reclassified from operating leases to sales-type leases. Accordingly, the underlying property, plant and equipment, net, and associated deferred revenue, if any, were derecognized and the present value of the future lease payments and the unguaranteed residual value of the assets were recorded as a net investment in sales-type lease.
The net investment in sales-type leases is recorded utilizing the estimated fair value of the underlying leased assets at contract modification date and are nonrecurring fair value measurements. The leased assets were valued using a cost method valuation approach which utilizes Level 3 inputs.
We recognized any billings in excess of minimum volume requirements as variable lease payments, and these variable lease payments were recorded in lease revenues.
Lease income included in the condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income were as follows:
Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30,
(in thousands) 2024 2024
Operating leases:
Lease revenue $ 49,176 $ 212,202

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
We recorded $ 83.7 million and $ 228.7 million in operating lease revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively.
