DALLAS–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Energy Transfer LP (NYSE:ET) (โ€œEnergy Transferโ€ or the โ€œPartnershipโ€) today reported financial results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2025.


Energy Transfer reported net income attributable to partners for the three months ended December 31, 2025 of $928 million compared to $1.08 billion for the same period last year. For the three months ended December 31, 2025, net income per common unit (basic) was $0.25.

Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended December 31, 2025 was $4.18 billion compared to $3.88 billion for the same period last year, an increase of 8%.

Distributable Cash Flow attributable to partners, as adjusted, for the three months ended December 31, 2025 was $2.04 billion compared to $1.98 billion for the same period last year.

Growth capital expenditures in the fourth quarter of 2025 were $1.40 billion; maintenance capital expenditures were $355 million.

Operational Highlights

  • Energy Transferโ€™s volumes continued to grow during the fourth quarter of 2025 compared to the fourth quarter of 2024.

    • NGL and refined product terminals volumes were up 12%.
    • NGL transportation volumes were up 5%.
    • NGL fractionation volumes were up 3%, setting a new Partnership record.
    • NGL exports were up 12%.
    • Crude oil transportation volumes were up 6%, setting a new Partnership record.
    • Midstream gathered volumes were up 4%.
    • Interstate natural gas transportation volumes were up 4%.
    • Intrastate natural gas transportation volumes were up 3%.
  • Construction is underway on Mustang Draw II, a new 275 MMcf/d processing plant and related facilities in the Midland Basin. The plant is fully contracted and is expected to be in service in the fourth quarter 2026.
  • In January 2026, Energy Transfer commenced natural gas deliveries to Oracleโ€™s data center near Abilene, Texas under the first of multiple long-term agreements to supply an aggregate of approximately 900 MMcf/d of natural gas to three Oracle data centers, two of which are located in Texas.

Strategic Highlights

  • In January 2026, Florida Gas Transmission (โ€œFGTโ€), a joint venture pipeline which Energy Transfer operates, held an Open Season on two projects to meet growing demand across Florida. Both projects are supported by long-term, binding agreements from anchor customers.

    • The FGT Phase IX Project is designed to expand capacity to multiple locations across FGTโ€™s market area for existing customers. The project includes the construction of up to 82 miles of pipeline looping, along with new and upgraded compression station facilities. Energy Transferโ€™s share of the project costs, excluding AFUDC, is expected to be up to $535 million. The project is expected to be in-service in the fourth quarter of 2028.
    • The South Florida Project includes the construction of a new 37-mile pipeline lateral and related facilities which are designed to enhance system reliability and efficiency in South Florida. Energy Transferโ€™s share of the project costs, excluding AFUDC, is expected to be $110 million. The project is expected to be in-service in the first quarter of 2030.
  • In December 2025, Energy Transfer increased the transportation capacity of Transwestern Pipelineโ€™s planned Desert Southwest expansion project to meet additional customer demand. The projectโ€™s main line pipeline diameter will be upsized from 42 inches to 48 inches, which increases the projectโ€™s capacity to up to 2.3 Bcf/d and the cost up to approximately $5.6 billion. The project is supported by long-term contracts to serve continued population growth and positive economic momentum throughout Arizona and New Mexico. Natural gas for this project will be sourced from Energy Transferโ€™s premier asset base in the prolific Permian Basin.
  • In December 2025, Energy Transfer suspended development of the Lake Charles LNG export project in order to focus on allocating capital to its significant backlog of natural gas pipeline infrastructure projects that Energy Transfer believes provide superior risk/return profiles.
  • In November 2025, Energy Transfer signed a 20-year natural gas firm transportation agreement with Entergy Louisiana for natural gas capacity to support new economic development in North Louisiana. The project includes expanding Energy Transferโ€™s Tiger Pipeline with the construction of a 12-mile lateral, which is expected to have a capacity of 250,000 MMBtu/d. Natural gas supply for this project will be sourced from Energy Transferโ€™s extensive pipeline network, which is connected to all the major producing basins in the U.S.

Financial Highlights

  • In January 2026, Energy Transfer announced a quarterly cash distribution of $0.3350 per common unit ($1.34 annualized) for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, which is an increase of more than 3% compared to the fourth quarter of 2024.
  • As of December 31, 2025, the Partnershipโ€™s revolving credit facility had an aggregate $2.12 billion of available borrowing capacity.
  • Energy Transfer now expects its 2026 Adjusted EBITDA to range between $17.45 and $17.85 billion, compared to the previous range of between $17.3 and $17.7 billion. Energy Transferโ€™s updated Adjusted EBITDA estimate is solely attributable to USA Compressionโ€™s acquisition of J-W Power Company, which closed on January 12, 2026. The Partnership continues to expect to invest $5.0 billion to $5.5 billion in growth capital for 2026, primarily on projects enhancing its natural gas network.

Energy Transfer benefits from a portfolio of assets with exceptional product and geographic diversity. The Partnershipโ€™s multiple segments generate high-quality, balanced earnings with no single business segment contributing more than one-third of the Partnershipโ€™s consolidated Adjusted EBITDA for the three months or full year ended December 31, 2025. In addition, Energy Transfer generates approximately 40% of its Adjusted EBITDA from natural gas-related assets. The vast majority of the Partnershipโ€™s segment margins are fee-based and therefore have limited commodity price sensitivity.

Conference call information:

The Partnership has scheduled a conference call for 8:00 a.m. Central Time/9:00 a.m. Eastern Time on Tuesday, February 17, 2026 to discuss its fourth quarter 2025 results and provide an update on the Partnership. The conference call will be broadcast live via an internet webcast, which can be accessed through www.energytransfer.com and will also be available for replay on the Partnershipโ€™s website for a limited time.

(a)

Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow are non-GAAP financial measures used by industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies to assess the financial performance and the operating results of Energy Transferโ€™s fundamental business activities and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income, income from operations, cash flows from operating activities or other GAAP measures.

ย 

ย 

ย 

There are material limitations to using measures such as Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow, including the difficulty associated with using either as the sole measure to compare the results of one company to another, and the inability to analyze certain significant items that directly affect a companyโ€™s net income or loss or cash flows. In addition, our calculations of Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow may not be consistent with similarly titled measures of other companies and should be viewed in conjunction with measures that are computed in accordance with GAAP, such as operating income, net income and cash flows from operating activities.

ย 

ย 

ย 

Definition of Adjusted EBITDA

ย 

ย 

ย 

We define Adjusted EBITDA as total partnership earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, depletion, amortization and other non-cash items, such as non-cash compensation expense, gains and losses on disposals of assets, the allowance for equity funds used during construction, unrealized gains and losses on commodity risk management activities, inventory valuation adjustments, non-cash impairment charges, losses on extinguishments of debt, certain foreign currency transaction gains and losses and other non-operating income or expense items. Inventory valuation adjustments that are excluded from the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA represent only the changes in lower of cost or market reserves on inventory that is carried at last-in, first-out (โ€œLIFOโ€). These amounts are unrealized valuation adjustments applied to Sunoco LPโ€™s fuel volumes remaining in inventory at the end of the period.

ย 

ย 

ย 

Adjusted EBITDA reflects amounts for unconsolidated affiliates based on the same recognition and measurement methods used to record equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates. Adjusted EBITDA related to unconsolidated affiliates excludes the same items with respect to the unconsolidated affiliate as those excluded from the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA, such as interest, taxes, depreciation, depletion, amortization and other non-cash items. Although these amounts are excluded from Adjusted EBITDA related to unconsolidated affiliates, such exclusion should not be understood to imply that we have control over the operations and resulting revenues and expenses of such affiliates. We do not control our unconsolidated affiliates; therefore, we do not control the earnings or cash flows of such affiliates. The use of Adjusted EBITDA or Adjusted EBITDA related to unconsolidated affiliates as an analytical tool should be limited accordingly.

ย 

ย 

ย 

Adjusted EBITDA is used by management to determine our operating performance and, along with other financial and volumetric data, as internal measures for setting annual operating budgets, assessing financial performance of our numerous business locations, as a measure for evaluating targeted businesses for acquisition and as a measurement component of incentive compensation.

ย 

ย 

ย 

Definition of Distributable Cash Flow

ย 

ย 

ย 

We define Distributable Cash Flow as net income, adjusted for certain non-cash items, less distributions to preferred unitholders and maintenance capital expenditures. Non-cash items include depreciation, depletion and amortization, non-cash compensation expense, amortization included in interest expense, gains and losses on disposals of assets, the allowance for equity funds used during construction, unrealized gains and losses on commodity risk management activities, inventory valuation adjustments, non-cash impairment charges, losses on extinguishments of debt and deferred income taxes. For unconsolidated affiliates, Distributable Cash Flow reflects the Partnershipโ€™s proportionate share of the investeesโ€™ distributable cash flow.

ย 

ย 

ย 

Distributable Cash Flow is used by management to evaluate our overall performance. Our partnership agreement requires us to distribute all available cash, and Distributable Cash Flow is calculated to evaluate our ability to fund distributions through cash generated by our operations.

ย 

ย 

ย 

On a consolidated basis, Distributable Cash Flow includes 100% of the Distributable Cash Flow of Energy Transferโ€™s consolidated subsidiaries. However, to the extent that noncontrolling interests exist among our subsidiaries, the Distributable Cash Flow generated by our subsidiaries may not be available to be distributed to our partners. In order to reflect the cash flows available for distributions to our partners, we have reported Distributable Cash Flow attributable to partners, which is calculated by adjusting Distributable Cash Flow (consolidated), as follows:

ย 

ย 

  • For subsidiaries with publicly traded equity interests, Distributable Cash Flow (consolidated) includes 100% of Distributable Cash Flow attributable to such subsidiary, and Distributable Cash Flow attributable to our partners includes distributions to be received by the parent company with respect to the periods presented.
  • For consolidated joint ventures or similar entities, where the noncontrolling interest is not publicly traded, Distributable Cash Flow (consolidated) includes 100% of Distributable Cash Flow attributable to such subsidiaries, but Distributable Cash Flow attributable to partners reflects only the amount of Distributable Cash Flow of such subsidiaries that is attributable to our ownership interest.

ย 

ย 

ย 

For Distributable Cash Flow attributable to partners, as adjusted, certain transaction-related adjustments and non-recurring expenses that are included in net income are excluded.

ย 

ย 

(b)

These amounts exclude Sunoco LPโ€™s Adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow related to its investment in the ET-S Permian and J.C. Nolan joint ventures, which amounts are eliminated in the Energy Transfer consolidation.

ย 

ย 

(c)

For the three months ended December 31, 2025, preferred unitholdersโ€™ distributions include $30 million of distributions on Sunoco LPโ€™s Series A preferred units, which were issued in September 2025.

ย 

ย 

(d)

For the year ended December 31, 2024, the amount reflected for transaction-related income taxes reflects current income tax expense recognized by Sunoco LP in connection with its April 2024 sale of convenience stores in West Texas, New Mexico and Oklahoma.

ย 

ย 

(e)

Beginning with the three months ended December 31, 2025, this amount includes the distributable cash flow of Sunoco LP and SunocoCorp, eliminating the distributable cash flow of Sunoco LP that is attributable to SunocoCorp.
