Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Executive Summary: Management's View of Our Business and Strategic Overview
Management's View of Our Business
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 significant portion 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 the Tyler Refinery, El Dorado Refinery and Big Spring Refinery.
Business and Economic Environment Overview
During the six months ended June 30, 2026, we continued to focus on our commitment to being a full-suite crude, gas and water midstream services provider in the Permian Basin, in addition to diversifying our customer base to include more third-party customers. Our strategic acquisitions over the past few years served to significantly enhance our competitive position in the Midland Basin and further our economic separation from our sponsor and contribute to an increase in third party revenue.
The Partnership is well positioned to continue to add value through our gathering and processing services. In the Midland Basin, combined crude and water offering is appealing for our customers and brings additional growth opportunities to our system. Additionally, in the Delaware Basin, the Partnership expects continued cash flow growth in 2026 driven by the ramp up at the Libby gas processing plant and the ongoing completion of the sour gas gathering and acid gas injection ("AGI") capabilities.
Our disciplined approach to cost control, coupled with a focus on margin enhancements, supported earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") growth and improved cash flow, while our capital deployment remained aligned with our strategic priorities. This strengthened financial position empowers us to advance our strategy of organic growth while also exploring attractive opportunities for bolt-on acquisitions. Our positioning allows our customers the ability to control quality and adds optionality to place barrels in a variety of markets.
The near-term economic outlook remains uncertain due to ongoing geopolitical instability, including the ongoing conflict involving Iran and resulting disruptions to maritime transit through the Strait of Hormuz, and heightened commodity market volatility. Uncertainty surrounding trade negotiations and geopolitical developments have contributed to increased market and commodity price volatility, heightened supply disruption risk, and broader macroeconomic uncertainty, which could negatively affect global economic conditions.
Despite these challenges, we are well positioned to manage through an economic downturn because of built-in recessionary protections within our business, including fee-based arrangements supported by minimum volume commitments on throughput and dedicated acreage agreements. Changes in crude oil prices resulting from geopolitical events may indirectly influence upstream production activity and refinery utilization in our core operating areas, which could have a favorable impact on volumes over time. In addition, periods of increased market volatility may modestly increase demand for logistics, transportation, and storage services.
The Partnership continues to pursue opportunities to enhance environmental stewardship consistent with applicable regulatory requirements and market conditions. While renewable energy sources are expected to continue growing as a percentage of total energy consumption, oil and gas are expected to remain an important component of the global energy mix in the near to medium term. As a result, liquid transportation fuels are expected to remain in demand, supporting throughput volumes and utilization of our assets. We believe our asset base and contractual protections position us to continue operating effectively amid evolving market and economic conditions.
See further discussion below in 'Other Developments' detailing the strategic initiatives the Partnership has implemented in order to position ourselves as a premier, full-service midstream provider in the Permian Basin. These actions not only enhance our standing in the market but also move to align us as an independent, largely third-party cash flow company with a robust growth profile.
See further discussion on macroeconomic factors and market trends, including the impact on 2026, in the ‘Market Trends’ section below.
Other Developments
Contractual Rate Adjustments to Keep Pace with Inflation
On July 1, 2026, the tariffs on certain of our FERC regulated pipelines and the throughput fees and storage fees under certain of our agreements with Delek Holdings and third parties that are subject to adjustments using FERC indexing increased 1.4%. Under certain of our agreements with Delek Holdings and third parties, the fees that are subject to adjustments using the consumer price index increased 3.1% and the fees that are subject to adjustments using the producer price index increased approximately 3.6%. These adjustments allow us to maintain compliance with FERC regulations as well as to ensure that our results are reflective of current market conditions.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
2034 Notes
On May 14, 2026, the Partnership sold $800.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 6.875% senior notes due 2034 (the "2034 Notes"). Net proceeds were used to redeem the 2028 Notes including accrued interest and a portion of the 2029 Notes including accrued interest.
DKL Credit Facility
On March 26, 2026, the Partnership entered into a credit agreement (the “New Credit Agreement”) that provides for revolving commitments up to $1,300.0 million in the aggregate with a sublimit up to $150.0 million for letters of credit and up to $50.0 million for swing line loans (the “DKL Revolving Facility”). The DKL Revolving Facility replaced the Partnership's previous revolving credit facility and term loan facility under the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the "Prior Credit Agreement") and proceeds were used to pay all outstanding balances of the Prior Credit Agreement. The maturity date for the DKL Revolving Facility is the earliest of (i) March 26, 2031, (ii) the date that is 180 days prior to the earliest maturity date of the Partnership’s 8.625% Senior Notes due 2029 to the extent that on such date, no less than $500.0 million of aggregate principal amount of the 2029 Notes remains outstanding, and (iii) such date on which the Revolving Credit Commitments (as defined in the New Credit Agreement) are terminated in whole due to voluntary termination or certain events of default.
Libby Plant Equipment Construction and Lease Arrangement
In March 2026, we entered into an arrangement with a third party to construct, own, and subsequently lease to us certain sour gas gathering equipment at our Libby gas processing plant. The construction is expected to be completed in the second half of 2026, at which time we have committed to enter into a finance lease for the equipment. During construction, we are not deemed to control the assets and are not obligated to fund construction costs; therefore, we have not recognized the assets or related obligations on our balance sheet as of June 30, 2026. The total estimated project cost is approximately $60.0 million.
Asset Purchase Agreements with Delek Holdings
On January 30, 2026, the Partnership entered into asset purchase agreements with Delek Holdings (collectively, the “Intercompany Agreements”). Pursuant to these agreements, the Partnership agreed to sell a Tyler refinery tank to Delek Holdings for total consideration of $19.0 million (the “Tyler Tank Sale”) and to sell El Dorado tank and terminal assets to Delek Holdings for total consideration of $66.0 million (the “El Dorado Terminal Sale”). Under the terms of the Intercompany Agreements, the consideration for these transactions may be received in a combination of cash and equity, with up to $20.0 million of the aggregate consideration payable through the return of Partnership common units. In addition, pursuant to the Intercompany Agreements, Delek Holdings will waive Omnibus fees for an aggregate of $4.0 million during the first two quarters of 2026.
The Tyler Tank Sale closed on April 1, 2026. At closing, Delek Holdings returned 359,372 Partnership common units to us, representing the full consideration of $19.0 million. As a result of this transaction, Delek Holdings’ ownership interest in the Partnership was further diluted, decreasing to 63.0%. The El Dorado Terminal Sale is expected to close on October 1, 2027, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.
Cybersecurity Incident
In July 2026, we identified a cybersecurity incident in which an unauthorized third party accessed a single employee's account and copied certain files from our email and SharePoint environment. Upon discovery, we promptly contained the incident, disabled the affected credentials, and engaged a third-party forensic firm and outside legal counsel. The incident did not affect our refining or logistics operations, or financial reporting systems, and did not result in any loss of availability of our data. Management has determined, based on information known to date, that the incident is not material and is not reasonably likely to have a material impact on our business, financial condition, or results of operations. Our assessment of applicable notification and other legal obligations remains ongoing.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Segment Overview
We review operating results in four reportable segments: (i) gathering and processing; (ii) wholesale marketing and terminalling; (iii) storage and transportation; and (iv) investments in pipeline joint ventures. Decisions concerning the allocation of resources and assessment of operating performance are made based on this segmentation. Management measures the operating performance of each reportable segment based on the segment EBITDA. Segment reporting is discussed in more detail in Note 9 to our condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1, Financial Statements, of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Gathering and Processing
The operational assets in our gathering and processing segment consist of our pipeline assets, Midland Gathering Assets, Midland Water Gathering Assets and Delaware Gathering Assets. The Midland Gathering Assets support our crude oil gathering activities which primarily serve Delek Holdings refining needs throughout the Permian Basin. The Midland Water Gathering Assets support our water disposal and recycling operations primarily in the Midland Basin in Texas. The Delaware Gathering Assets support our crude oil and natural gas gathering, treatment, acid gas injection, processing and transportation businesses, including the operations at Libby 1 and Libby 2 gas processing plants, as well as water disposal and recycling operations, located in the Delaware Basin of New Mexico. While we do not take ownership of gas that is gathered, we sell the processed gas at a market price which we remit to the producer, net of our fees. Therefore, we are not directly exposed to changes in commodity prices with respect to these operations. Finally, our gathering and processing assets are integrated with our pipeline assets, which we use to transport gathered crude oil as well as provide other crude oil, intermediate and refined products transportation mainly in support of Delek Holdings' refining operations in Tyler, Texas, El Dorado, Arkansas and Big Spring, Texas, as well as to certain third parties. In providing these services, we do not take ownership of the refined products or crude oil that we transport. The combination of these operational assets provides a comprehensive, integrated midstream service offering to producers and customers.
Wholesale Marketing and Terminalling
Our wholesale marketing and terminalling segment provides wholesale marketing and terminalling services to Delek Holdings’ refining operations and to independent third parties from whom we receive fees for marketing, transporting, storing and terminalling refined products and to whom we wholesale market refined products. In providing certain of these services, we take ownership of the products and are therefore exposed to market risks related to the volatility of commodity and refined product prices in our West Texas operations, which depend on many factors, including demand and supply of refined products in the West Texas market, the timing of refined product deliveries and downtime at refineries in the surrounding area.
Storage and Transportation
The operational assets in our storage and transportation segment consist of tanks, offloading facilities, trucks and ancillary assets, which provide crude oil, intermediate and refined products transportation and storage services primarily in support of Delek Holdings' refining operations in Tyler, Texas, El Dorado, Arkansas and Big Spring, Texas. Additionally, the assets in this segment provide crude oil transportation services to certain third parties. In providing these services, we do not take ownership of the products or crude oil that we transport or store. Therefore, we are not directly exposed to changes in commodity prices with respect to this operating segment.
Investments in Pipeline Joint Ventures
The Partnership owns a portion of four joint ventures (accounted for as equity method investments) that have constructed separate crude oil pipeline systems and related ancillary assets primarily in the Permian Basin and Gulf Coast regions and with strategic connections to Cushing, Midland and connections from Wink, Texas to Webster, Texas and other key exchange points, which provide crude oil and refined product pipeline transportation to third parties and subsidiaries of Delek Holdings.

Strategic Overview
Long-Term Strategic Objectives
The Partnership’s Long-Term Strategic Objectives have been focused on providing a competitive yield and growing our distribution while maintaining healthy coverage and leverage ratios. To that end, we are focused on growing our asset base through a range of accretive growth opportunities we are seeing in our areas of operation. We are supplementing our organic growth opportunities by accretive bolt-on acquisitions which enhance our full-suite services offering to our customers. A secondary benefit of growing our contribution of third-party cash flows is to continue to increase our economic separation from our sponsor Delek Holdings.
2026 Strategic Focus Areas
In service to these overarching Long-Term Strategic Objectives, as we began 2026, we prioritized the following Strategic Focus Areas :
I. Achieve Strong Cash Flow Growth
II. Pursue Attractive Expansion Opportunities
III. Engage in Mutually Beneficial Transactions with Delek Holdings
IV. Optimize Our Existing Assets and Expand Our Customer Base
V. Enhance our Commitment to Sustainability and Minimize our Carbon Emissions
We are a full-suite provider offering integrated crude, gas and water services to the Partnership's customers in the Permian Basin. We operate in the most prolific part of the Permian Basin, and we continue to be focused on growth opportunities given our advantageous location in the Midland and the Delaware Basins. We believe that opportunities exist in crude, natural gas and water which will continue to enhance our gathering and processing segment. We continue to focus on expanding our natural gas processing capabilities, adding AGI and sour gas processing capabilities at our Libby complex, positioning us to be one of the few midstream companies to have a comprehensive sour gas solution to enable incremental crude and natural gas production in Delaware Basin.
The Partnership prioritizes safe and reliable operation of its assets to maintain financial stability and growth. We have successfully avoided lost time injuries for four years, demonstrating our strong safety protocols and adherence to regulations. This commitment protects employees, assets, and operations, minimizing financial losses and maintaining stakeholder trust.
Additionally, we have prioritized reducing our leverage ratio, providing us with more financial flexibility to pursue opportunities and expand operations. By reducing our leverage and maintaining a strong financial position, we are better equipped to navigate challenges that may arise. This financial stability also allows us to seize emerging opportunities that align with our strategic goals, ensuring that we can continue to deliver value to our unitholders.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Market Trends
Fluctuations in crude oil, natural gas and NGL prices and the prices of related refined and other hydrocarbon products impact operations in the midstream energy sector. For example, the prices of each of these products have the ability to influence drilling activity in many basins and the amounts of capital spending that crude oil exploration and production companies incur to support future growth. Exploration and production activities have a direct impact on volumes transported through our gathering assets in the geologic basins in which we operate. Additionally, the demand for hydrocarbon-based refined products and related crack spreads significantly impact production decisions of our refining customers and likewise throughputs on our pipelines and other logistics assets. Finally, fluctuations in demand and commodity prices for refined products, as well as the value attributable to RINs, directly impact our wholesale marketing operations, where we are subject to short-term commodity price fluctuations at the rack. Most of the logistics services we provide (including transportation, gathering and processing services) are subject to long-term fee-based contracts with minimum volume commitments or long-term dedicated acreage agreements which mitigate most of our short-term financial risk to price and demand volatility. However, sustained depressed demand/prices over the longer term could not only curb exploration and production expansion opportunities under our agreements, but it could also impact our customers' willingness or ability to renew commercial agreements or result in liquidity or credit constraints that could impact our longer-term relationship with them.
While significant uncertainties remain in 2026 regarding global crude oil and refined products markets—particularly due to the ongoing conflict in Iran, which may impact supply stability and pricing—we believe our company is well-positioned to navigate these challenges. Our recent expansion of gas processing capabilities has not only broadened our service offerings but also enhanced both customer and geographic diversification, thereby reducing concentration risk. Additionally, our dedicated acreage agreements offer substantial growth potential in favorable economic conditions, such as periods of high demand or elevated commodity prices, without incurring additional customer acquisition costs. These strategic initiatives support our ability to sustain positive operating results and cash flows, even in volatile market environments, and enable us to pursue profitable growth projects that underpin future distribution growth.
The charts on the following page provide historical commodity pricing statistics for crude oil, refined product and natural gas.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Non-GAAP Measures
Our management uses certain "non-GAAP" operational measures to evaluate our operating segment performance and non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate past performance and prospects for the future to supplement our financial information presented in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"). These financial and operational non-GAAP measures include:
• EBITDA - calculated as net income before net interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation, amortization and proportional interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization of equity method investments.
• Distributable cash flow - calculated as net cash flow from operating activities adjusted for changes in assets and liabilities, maintenance capital expenditures net of reimbursements, sales-type lease receipts, net of income recognized and other adjustments. The Partnership believes this is an appropriate reflection of a liquidity measure by which users of its financial statements can assess its ability to generate cash.
EBITDA and distributable cash flow are non-GAAP supplemental financial measures that management and external users of our condensed consolidated financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies, may use to assess:
• our operating performance as compared to other publicly traded partnerships in the midstream energy industry, without regard to historical cost basis or, in the case of EBITDA, financing methods;
• the ability of our assets to generate sufficient cash flow to make distributions to our unitholders;
• our ability to incur and service debt and fund capital expenditures; and
• the viability of acquisitions and other capital expenditure projects and the returns on investment of various investment opportunities.
We believe that the presentation of EBITDA and distributable cash flow provide information useful to investors in assessing our financial condition and results of operations. EBITDA and distributable cash flow should not be considered alternatives to net income, operating income, cash flow from operating activities or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP. EBITDA and distributable cash flow have important limitations as analytical tools, because they exclude some, but not all, items that affect net income and net cash provided by operating activities. Additionally, because EBITDA and distributable cash flow may be defined differently by other partnerships in our industry, our definitions of EBITDA and distributable cash flow may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other partnerships, thereby diminishing their utility. See below for a reconciliation of EBITDA and distributable cash flow to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
Non-GAAP Reconciliations
The following table provides a reconciliation of EBITDA and distributable cash flow (which are defined above) to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, or net income and net cash from operating activities, respectively.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Investments in Pipeline Joint Ventures Segment
The Investments in Pipeline Joint Ventures segment relates to strategic Joint Venture investments, accounted for as equity method investments, to support the Delek Holdings operations in terms of offering connection to takeaway pipelines, alternative crude supply sources and flow of high-quality crude oil to the Delek Holdings refining system. As a result, Delek Holdings is a major shipper and customer on certain of the Joint Venture pipelines, with minimum volume commitment ("MVC") agreements, which cushion the Joint Venture entities during periods of low activity. The other Joint Venture owners are usually major shippers on the pipelines resulting in a majority of the revenue of the Joint Venture entities coming from MVC agreements with related entities.
Investments in pipeline joint ventures segment include the Partnership's joint ventures investments described in Note 8 of our condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1, Financial Statements, of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Refer to Consolidated Results of Operations above for details and discussion of the investments in pipeline joint ventures segment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Sources of Capital
We consider the following when assessing our liquidity and capital resources:
(i) cash generated from operations;
(iv) potential issuance of additional debt securities; and
(ii) borrowings under our revolving credit facility;
(v) potential sale of assets.
(iii) potential issuance of additional equity;
At June 30, 2026, our total liquidity amounted to $1,065.6 million comprised of $1,051.9 million in unused credit commitments under our third-party revolving credit facility (as discussed in Note 6 of our condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1, Financial Statements, of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q), and $13.7 million in cash and cash equivalents. Historically, we have generated adequate cash from operations to fund ongoing working capital requirements, pay quarterly cash distributions and operational capital expenditures, and we expect the same to continue in the foreseeable future. Other funding sources, including the issuance of additional debt securities, have been utilized to fund growth capital projects such as dropdowns and other acquisitions. In addition, we have historically been able to source funding at rates that reflect market conditions, our financial position and our credit ratings. We continue to monitor market conditions, our financial position and our credit ratings and expect future funding sources to be at rates that are sustainable and profitable for the Partnership. However, there can be no assurances regarding the availability of any future financings or additional credit facilities or whether such financings or additional credit facilities can be made available on terms that are acceptable to us. We believe we have sufficient financial resources from the above sources to meet our funding requirements in the next 12 months, including working capital requirements, quarterly cash distributions and capital expenditures. Nevertheless, our ability to satisfy working capital requirements, to service our debt obligations, to fund planned capital expenditures, or to pay distributions will depend upon future operating performance, which will be affected by prevailing economic conditions in the oil industry and other financial and business factors, including crude oil prices, some of which are beyond our control. We continuously review our liquidity and capital resources. If market conditions were to change, for instance due to a significant decline in crude oil prices, and our revenue was reduced significantly or operating costs were to increase significantly, our cash flows and liquidity could be reduced. Additionally, it could cause the rating agencies to lower our credit ratings. There are no ratings triggers that would accelerate the maturity of any borrowings under our debt agreements.
Cash Distributions
On July 22, 2026, the board of directors of our general partner declared a distribution of $1.135 per common unit (the "Distribution"), which equates to an estimated amount of approximately $60.4 million per quarter, or approximately $241.5 million per year, based on the number of common units outstanding as of June 30, 2026. The Distribution will be paid on August 10, 2026, to common unitholders of record on August 3, 2026, and represents a 1.8% increase over the second quarter 2025 distribution. This increase in the distribution is consistent with our intent to maintain an attractive distribution growth profile over the long term. Although our Partnership Agreement requires that we distribute all of our available cash each quarter, we do not otherwise have a legal obligation to distribute any particular amount per common unit.

Unit Repurchase
On February 24, 2025, the Partnership and Delek Holdings entered into a Common Unit Purchase Agreement whereby the Partnership may repurchase common units from time to time from Delek Holdings in one or more transactions for an aggregate purchase price of up to $150.0 million through December 31, 2026 (each such repurchase, a “Repurchase”). The Partnership may fund Repurchases using cash on hand or borrowings under its existing credit facility, subject to compliance with applicable covenants. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, 243,075 common units were repurchased from Delek Holdings and cancelled at the time of the transaction for a total of $10.0 million. No common units were repurchased for the six months ended June 30, 2026. As of June 30, 2026, there was $140.0 million of authorization remaining under the Common Unit Repurchase Agreement.

Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities increased by $102.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025. The cash receipts from customer activities increased by $203.5 million. Additionally contributing to the increase was a $10.7 million increase in cash dividends received from equity method investments.
Partially offsetting these increases was a $20.5 million increase in cash paid for debt interest, and an increase of $91.0 million in cash payments to suppliers and for allocations to Delek Holdings for salaries.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities decreased by $238.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to a decrease of $181.2 million associated with the Gravity Acquisition in the prior year with no corresponding activity in the current year. Purchases of property, plant and equipment decreased by $61.9 million primarily associated with higher growth projects in our gathering and processing segment in the prior year period. Also contributing to this decrease was an increase in distributions received from equity method investments of $2.5 million.
Partially offsetting this decrease was a decrease in proceeds from sale of property, plant and equipment of $4.8 million compared to the prior year and a $2.2 million increase in purchase of intangible assets.
Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities increased by $334.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025. This increase was primarily driven by an increase in net payments on our term debt of $700 million, resulting from the redemption of certain of our senior notes and issuance of our 6.875% senior notes. Additionally contributing to this increase was an increase in deferred financing costs paid of $12.6 million, debt extinguishment costs paid of $17.8 million and a $3.2 million increase in cash used for other financing activities.
Partially offsetting the increase was an increase in net proceeds from our revolving credit facility of $390.8 million and a decrease of $10.0 million due to unit repurchases from Delek Holdings in the prior period.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Debt Overview
As of June 30, 2026, we had total indebtedness of $2,398.1 million. The increase of $36.3 million in our long-term debt balance compared to the balance at December 31, 2025, resulted primarily from an increase in borrowings under our revolving facility during the six months ended June 30, 2026. As of June 30, 2026, our total indebtedness consisted of:
• An aggregate principal amount of $248.1 million under the DKL Revolving Facility, due on March 26, 2031, with an average borrowing rate of 6.05%.
• An aggregate principal amount of $650.0 million, under the 2029 Notes (8.625% senior notes), due in 2029, with an effective interest rate of 8.80%.
• An aggregate principal amount of $700.0 million, under the 2033 Notes (7.375% senior notes), due in 2033, with an effective interest rate of 7.63%.
• An aggregate principal amount of $800.0 million, under the 2034 Notes (6.875% senior notes), due in 2034, with an effective interest rate of 7.15%.
We believe we were in compliance with the covenants in all debt facilities as of June 30, 2026. See Note 6 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for a complete discussion of our third-party indebtedness.
Agreements Governing Certain Indebtedness of Delek Holdings
Delek Holdings' level of indebtedness, the terms of its borrowings and any future credit ratings could adversely affect our ability to grow our business, our ability to make cash distributions to our unitholders and our credit profile. Our current and future credit ratings may also be affected by Delek Holdings' level of indebtedness, financial performance and credit ratings.
Capital Spending
A key component of our long-term strategy is our capital expenditure program, which includes strategic consideration and planning for the timing and extent of regulatory maintenance, sustaining maintenance, and growth capital projects. These categories are described below:
• Regulatory maintenance projects in the gathering and processing segment are those expenditures expected to be spent on certain of our pipelines to maintain their operational integrity pursuant to applicable environmental and other regulatory requirements. Regulatory projects in the wholesale marketing and terminalling segment relate to scheduled maintenance and improvements on our terminalling tanks and racks at certain of our terminals in order to maintain environmental and other regulatory compliance. These expenditures have historically been and will continue to be financed through cash generated from operations.
• Sustaining capital expenditures represent capitalizable expenditures for the addition or improvement to, or the replacement of, our capital assets, and for the acquisition of existing, or the construction or development of new, capital assets made to maintain our long-term operating income or operating capacity. Examples of sustaining capital expenditures are expenditures for the repair, refurbishment and replacement of pipelines, tanks and terminals, to maintain equipment reliability, integrity and safety and to maintain compliance with environmental laws and regulations. Delek Holdings has agreed to reimburse us with respect to certain assets it has transferred to us pursuant to the terms of the Omnibus Agreement (as defined in Note 3 to our accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements). When not provided for under reimbursement agreements, such activities are generally funded by cash generated from operations.
• Growth projects include those projects that do not fall into one of the two categories above, and could include committed expansion projects under contracts with customers as well as other incremental growth projects, but are generally expected to produce incremental cash flows in accordance with our internal return on invested capital policy. Depending on the magnitude, funding for such projects may include cash generated from operations, borrowings under existing credit facilities, or issuances of additional debt or equity securities.

(1) Amounts exclude capitalized interest and internal labor costs totaling $4.8 million, which are predominantly associated with our gathering and processing segment.
The amount of our capital expenditure forecast is subject to change due to unanticipated increases in the cost, scope and completion time for our capital projects. For example, we may experience increases in the cost of and/or timing to obtain necessary equipment required for our continued compliance with government regulations or to complete improvement projects. Additionally, the scope and cost of employee or contractor labor expense related to installation of that equipment could increase from our projections.
