1. Description of Business and Basis of Presentation
Description of Business
Westlake Chemical Partners LP (the "Partnership") is a Delaware limited partnership formed in March 2014 to operate, acquire and develop ethylene production facilities and related assets. On August 4, 2014, the Partnership completed its initial public offering (the "IPO") of 12,937,500 common units representing limited partner interests.
In connection with the IPO, the Partnership acquired a 10.6 % limited partner interest in Westlake Chemical OpCo LP ("OpCo") and a 100 % interest in Westlake Chemical OpCo GP LLC ("OpCo GP"), which is the general partner of OpCo. OpCo owns three ethylene production facilities and one common carrier ethylene pipeline (collectively, the "Contributed Assets"). Since the IPO, the Partnership has periodically purchased additional limited partner interest in OpCo. Most recently, on March 29, 2019, the Partnership purchased an additional 4.5 % newly-issued limited partner interest in OpCo for approximately $ 201,445 , resulting in an aggregate 22.8 % limited partner interest in OpCo, effective January 1, 2019. The remaining 77.2 % limited partner interest in OpCo is owned by Westlake Corporation.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated interim financial statements were prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") for interim periods. Accordingly, certain information and footnotes required for complete financial statements under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("U.S. GAAP") have not been included. These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto of the Partnership included in the annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 (the "2024 Form 10-K"), filed with the SEC on March 5, 2025. These financial statements have been prepared in conformity with the accounting principles and practices as disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements of the Partnership for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.
References to "Westlake" refer collectively to Westlake Corporation and its subsidiaries, other than the Partnership, OpCo and OpCo GP.
The Partnership holds a 22.8 % limited partner interest and the entire non-economic general partner interest in OpCo. The remaining 77.2 % limited partner interest in OpCo is owned directly by Westlake, which has no rights to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of OpCo. As a result of the fact that substantially all of OpCo's activities are conducted on behalf of Westlake, and the fact that OpCo exhibits disproportionality of voting rights to economic interest, OpCo was deemed to be a variable interest entity. The Partnership, through its ownership of OpCo's general partner, has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of OpCo, and it also has the obligation or right to absorb losses or receive benefits from OpCo that could potentially be significant to OpCo. As such, the Partnership was determined to be OpCo's primary beneficiary and therefore consolidates OpCo's results of operations and financial position. The Partnership's operations consist exclusively of the variable interest entity's operations and, as such, no additional variable interest entity disclosures are considered necessary. Westlake's retained interest of 77.2 % is recorded as noncontrolling interest in the Partnership's consolidated financial statements.
In the opinion of the Partnership's management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated interim financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) that are necessary for a fair statement of the Partnership's financial position as of March 31, 2025, its results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 and the changes in its cash position for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.
Results of operations and changes in cash position for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that will be realized for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025 or any other interim period. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Income Taxes (ASU No. 2023-09)
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued an accounting standards update requiring additional tax disclosures under Topic 740 primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid disclosures. The amendments in this update will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024 and are to be applied on a prospective basis. Retrospective application is also permitted. The update is not expected to have a material impact on the Partnership's disclosures.
Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (ASU No. 2024-03)
In November 2024, the FASB issued an accounting standards update requiring public entities to disclose on an annual and interim basis detailed information about the types of expenses in relevant expense captions presented on the face of the income statement, including amounts for inventory purchases, employee compensation, depreciation and amortization of intangible assets and a qualitative description for remaining amounts not separately disaggregated. Additionally, the update requires disclosure of total selling expenses, and in annual periods, an entity's definition of selling expenses. The amendments in this update are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027 and are to be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The Partnership is currently evaluating the impact of the update on the disclosures in the Partnership's financial statements.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncement
Segment Reporting (ASU No. 2023-07)
In November 2023, the FASB issued an accounting standards update requiring public entities to disclose on an annual and interim basis, significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker ("CODM") and on an annual basis, the title and position of the CODM and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measure(s) of segment profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources. The update also requires that a public entity that has a single reportable segment provide all disclosures required by the update as well as all existing segment disclosures in Topic 280. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 and are to be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. Early adoption is permitted. The Partnership adopted this accounting standard effective for the annual 2024 financial statements and interim period financial statements thereafter, and the adoption resulted in additional segment disclosures (see Note 13).

4. Property, Plant and Equipment
Depreciation expense on property, plant and equipment of $ 20,836 and $ 21,537 is included in cost of sales in the consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
5. Deferred Charges and Other Assets
Amortization expense on deferred charges and other assets of $ 6,232 and $ 6,457 is included in cost of sales in the consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively .
6. Distributions and Net Income Per Limited Partner Unit
On April 30, 2025, the board of directors of Westlake Chemical Partners GP LLC ("Westlake GP"), the Partnership's general partner, declared a quarterly cash distribution for the three months ended March 31, 2025 of $ 0.4714 per common unit. This distribution is payable on May 29, 2025 to unitholders of record as of May 13, 2025.
Distributions are declared subsequent to quarter end; therefore, the table below represents total cash distributions declared from earnings of the related periods pertaining to such distributions.
Three Months Ended March 31,
2025 2024

Less:
Limited partners' distribution declared on common units 16,611 16,607
Distribution in excess of net income
$ ( 11,663 ) $ ( 1,774 )
Net income per unit applicable to common limited partner units is computed by dividing the respective limited partners' interest in net income by the weighted-average number of common units outstanding for the period. Because the Partnership has more than one class of participating securities, it uses the two-class method when calculating the net income per unit applicable to limited partners. The classes of participating securities include common units and incentive distribution rights. Net income attributable to the Partnership is allocated to the unitholders in accordance with their respective ownership percentages in preparation of the consolidated statements of changes in equity. However, when distributions related to the incentive distribution rights are made, net income equal to the amount of those distributions is first allocated to the general partner before the remaining net income is allocated to the unitholders based on their respective ownership percentages. Basic and diluted net income per unit is the same because the Partnership does not have any potentially dilutive units outstanding for the periods presented.

The amended Partnership Agreement provides that the Partnership will distribute cash that is deemed to be an appropriate portion of the Partnership's total operating surplus. If cash distributions to the Partnership's unitholders exceed $ 1.2938 per common unit in any quarter, the Partnership's unitholders and Westlake, as the holder of the Partnership's incentive distribution rights, will receive distributions according to the following percentage allocations:
Marginal Percentage Interest in Distributions
Total Quarterly Distribution Per Unit Unitholders IDR Holders
Above $ 1.2938 up to $ 1.4063

Above $ 1.4063 up to $ 1.6875
75.0 % 25.0 %
Above $ 1.6875
50.0 % 50.0 %
The Partnership's distribution for the three months ended March 31, 2025 did not exceed the $ 1.2938 per unit threshold, and, as a result, no distribution was made with respect to the Partnership's incentive distribution rights to Westlake, as the holder of the Partnership's incentive distribution rights.
Distributions Per Common Unit
Distributions per common unit for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 were as follows:
Three Months Ended March 31,

10. Fair Value Measurements
The Partnership reports certain assets and liabilities at fair value, which is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). Under the accounting guidance for fair value measurements, inputs used to measure fair value are classified in one of three levels:
Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.
The Partnership has financial assets and liabilities subject to fair value measures. These financial assets and liabilities include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, net, accounts payable and long-term debt payable to Westlake, all of which are recorded at carrying value. The amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, net and accounts payable approximate their fair value due to the short maturities of these instruments. The carrying and fair values of the Partnership's long-term debt at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 are summarized in the table below. The fair value of long-term debt is determined based on the present value of expected future cash flows using a discounted cash flow methodology. Because the Partnership's valuation methodology used for long-term debt requires the use of significant unobservable inputs, the inputs used to measure the fair value of the Partnership's long-term debt are classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy. Inputs used to estimate the fair values of the Partnership's long-term debt include the selection of an appropriate discount rate.

12. Commitments and Contingencies
The Partnership is subject to environmental laws and regulations that can impose civil and criminal sanctions and that may require the Partnership to mitigate the effects of contamination caused by the release or disposal of hazardous substances into the environment. These laws include the federal Clean Air Act, the federal Water Pollution Control Act, the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act ("CERCLA"), the Toxic Substances Control Act and various other federal, state and local laws and regulations. Under CERCLA, an owner or operator of property may be held strictly liable for remediating contamination without regard to whether that person caused the contamination, and without regard to whether the practices that resulted in the contamination were legal at the time they occurred. Because the Partnership's production sites have a history of industrial use, it is impossible to predict precisely what effect these legal requirements will have on the Partnership. Pursuant to the Omnibus Agreement, certain subsidiaries of Westlake will indemnify the Partnership for liabilities that occurred or existed prior to August 4, 2014.
The Partnership is also involved in other legal proceedings incidental to the conduct of its business. After considering all relevant facts and circumstances, including applicable insurance and indemnification by Westlake, the Partnership does not believe that any of these legal proceedings will have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
