Enterprise Reports Fourth Quarter 2025 Earnings

Enterprise Products Partners L.P. (“Enterprise”) (NYSE: EPD) today announced its financial results for the three months and year ended December 31, 2025.

Year End 2025 Results

Enterprise reported net income attributable to common unitholders of $5.8 billion, or $2.66 per common unit on a fully diluted basis, for 2025, compared to $5.9 billion, or $2.69 per common unit on a fully diluted basis, for 2024.

Operational distributable cash flow (“Operational DCF”) was $7.9 billion for 2025 and 2024. Distributions declared with respect to 2025 increased 3.6 percent to $2.175 per common unit, compared to distributions declared for 2024. 2025 marked Enterprise’s 27th consecutive year of distribution growth.

Conference Call to Discuss Fourth Quarter 2025 Earnings

Enterprise will host a conference call today to discuss fourth quarter 2025 earnings. The call will be webcast live beginning at 9:00 a.m. CT and may be accessed by visiting the partnership’s website at www.enterpriseproducts.com.

“Enterprise completed 2025 with a record fourth quarter,” said A.J. “Jim” Teague, co-chief executive officer of Enterprise’s general partner. “Record natural gas processing inlet volume of 8.1 Bcf/d, record NGL fractionation volume of 1.9 million BPD, record ethane marine terminal volume of 334 MBPD and record total pipeline volume of 14.1 million BPD-equivalent were some of the ten operational records for the quarter. This volume growth led to increases in gross operating margin in our NGL, refined products and natural gas pipeline businesses that resulted in record gross operating margin, record net income attributable to common unitholders and record cash flow performance for the quarter, which were slightly better than our record performance in the fourth quarter of 2024. Operational DCF for the fourth quarter of 2025 provided 1.8 times coverage of our increased cash distribution to partners of $0.55 per unit, and we retained $1.0 billion to reinvest in the growth of the partnership.”

“We continue to forecast strong natural gas and NGL production growth in the Permian Basin as gas-to-oil ratios continue to increase and as producers use new completion technology, develop new geologic horizons, and step out further on their inventory of locations. This natural gas and NGL production growth is expected despite moderating crude oil production growth in the Permian Basin. Commitments from our producer customers, coupled with our visibility and conviction around basin fundamentals, gave us the confidence to be the industry leader to add significant NGL takeaway capacity from the Permian Basin with the development of the Bahia NGL Pipeline. We are pleased to announce Bahia began operations in December of 2025,” stated Teague.

“Bahia NGL Pipeline has the capacity to transport 600 MBPD of NGLs from the Permian Basin to Enterprise’s 1.5 million BPD Mont Belvieu area fractionation complex. In December of 2025, we completed the previously announced sale of a 40 percent undivided joint interest in the Bahia NGL Pipeline to ExxonMobil. This sale comes in connection with an announcement to expand Bahia’s capacity to 1 million BPD and to extend the pipeline to Exxon’s Cowboy natural gas processing complex in Eddy County, New Mexico. These expansion and extension projects are scheduled to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2027. Additionally, the recent commissioning of the Bahia NGL Pipeline brings the added benefit of our Seminole pipeline’s conversion back to crude oil transportation service, lowering the operating costs on our Permian crude oil pipeline system through the return of cost-effective transportation capacity,” continued Teague.

“At our Dark Horse facility in the Eastern Delaware Basin in New Mexico, we are expanding our sour natural gas treating capacity and have started construction on the previously announced treater 4, which is scheduled to be completed in the second quarter of 2026. We recently executed agreements with producers that underwrite further expansions of this sour natural gas treating system. These projects include the extension of trunk lines in our gathering system in Lea County, the construction of Dark Horse treater 5, and the addition of a third acid gas injection well at our Dark Horse facility. Elsewhere in the Permian Basin, the construction on our Mentone West 2 and Athena natural gas processing plants continues to progress well. Mentone West 2 in the Delaware Basin is scheduled to begin operations later in the first quarter of this year and Athena, our ninth plant in the Midland Basin, should begin operations by the end of 2026,” stated Teague.

“Our acquisition of midstream assets from Occidental, which closed in August of 2025, is also providing additional ‘bolt on’ growth projects. We expect this trend to continue and will result in incremental investment opportunities in natural gas gathering, treating and processing in the Midland Basin. The timing for these potential future investments, as well as other natural gas and liquids opportunities, will be dictated by the pace of our customers’ growth. While these additional investments have increased our expected organic growth capital expenditures for 2026, the proceeds from asset sales has essentially offset this increase and supports our ability to generate free cash flow after capital expenditures and cash distributions for 2026 to fund debt reduction and buybacks,” said Teague.

“We have been at the forefront in developing NGL wellhead-to-water infrastructure since 2008. For the past eighteen years, this role has enabled Enterprise and our customers to be leaders in developing and serving global markets for U.S. NGLs. This is a critical midstream service as U.S. NGL supply continues to be well in excess of domestic demand. The industry must continue to reach international market demand for associated NGLs to continue to facilitate growth of U.S. shale natural gas and crude oil production,” stated Teague.

“Surplus U.S. energy continues to be in strong demand in international markets that seek cost competitive, reliable supply. The U.S. energy surplus also serves as an avenue to reduce trade deficits with our country’s international trading partners. In July of 2025, Enterprise commissioned the first phase of our Neches River NGL marine terminal and began ethane exports. In the second quarter of 2026, we will add capacity for both ethane and LPG exports. The expansion of our LPG export capacity on the Houston Ship Channel is on schedule to be completed by the end of this year. We are also seeing opportunities to use operational leverage and modest investments in our natural gas pipeline systems in Texas and Louisiana to serve growing demand to support the development of AI/data centers, industrial reshoring and a general increase in electrification. Much of this growth comes from our traditional customer base,” stated Teague.

“We believe the partnership remains well positioned to capitalize on growth opportunities across our asset footprint, while consistently returning capital to our limited partners,” stated Teague.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release and accompanying schedules include the non-GAAP financial measures of total gross operating margin, Adjusted CFFO, FCF, Adjusted FCF, DCF, Operational DCF and Adjusted EBITDA. The accompanying schedules provide definitions of these non-GAAP financial measures and reconciliations to their most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Our non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as alternatives to GAAP measures such as net income, operating income, net cash flow provided by operating activities or any other measure of financial performance calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Our non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies because they may not calculate such measures in the same manner as we do.

Company Information and Use of Forward-Looking Statements

Enterprise Products Partners L.P. is one of the largest publicly traded partnerships and a leading North American provider of midstream energy services to producers and consumers of natural gas, NGLs, crude oil, refined products and petrochemicals. Services include: natural gas gathering, treating, processing, transportation and storage; NGL transportation, fractionation, storage and marine terminals; crude oil gathering, transportation, storage and marine terminals; petrochemical and refined products transportation, storage and marine terminals; and a marine transportation business that operates on key U.S. inland and intracoastal waterway systems. The partnership’s assets currently include more than 50,000 miles of pipelines; over 300 million barrels of storage capacity for NGLs, crude oil, petrochemicals and refined products; and 14 billion cubic feet of natural gas storage capacity.

This press release includes forward-looking statements. Except for the historical information contained herein, the matters discussed in this press release are forward-looking statements that involve certain risks and uncertainties, such as the partnership’s expectations regarding future results, capital expenditures, project completions, liquidity and financial market conditions. These risks and uncertainties include, among other things, insufficient cash from operations, adverse market conditions, governmental regulations and other factors discussed in Enterprise’s filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. If any of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results or outcomes may vary materially from those expected. The partnership disclaims any intention or obligation to update publicly or reverse such statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

The weighted-average indicative market price for NGLs (based on prices for such products at Mont Belvieu, Texas, which is the primary industry hub for domestic NGL production) was $0.54 per gallon during the fourth quarter of 2025 versus $0.62 per gallon during the fourth quarter of 2024. Fluctuations in our consolidated revenues and cost of sales amounts are explained in large part by changes in energy commodity prices. An increase in our consolidated marketing revenues due to higher energy commodity sales prices may not result in an increase in gross operating margin or cash available for distribution, since our consolidated cost of sales amounts would also be expected to increase due to comparable increases in the purchase prices of the underlying energy commodities. The same type of relationship would be true in the case of lower energy commodity sales prices and purchase costs.

FCF is a non-GAAP measure of how much cash a business generates after accounting for capital expenditures such as plants or pipelines. Additionally, Adjusted FCF is a non-GAAP measure of how much cash a business generates, excluding the net effect of changes in operating accounts, after accounting for capital expenditures. We believe that FCF is important to traditional investors since it reflects the amount of cash available for reducing debt, investing in additional capital projects and/or paying distributions. We believe that Adjusted FCF is also important to traditional investors for the same reasons as FCF, without regard for fluctuations caused by timing of when amounts earned or incurred were collected, received or paid from period to period. Since we partner with other companies to fund certain capital projects of our consolidated subsidiaries, our determination of FCF and Adjusted FCF appropriately reflect the amount of cash contributed from and distributed to noncontrolling interests.

Adjusted CFFO is a non-GAAP measure that represents net cash flow provided by operating activities before the net effect of changes in operating accounts. We believe that it is important to consider this non-GAAP measure as it can often be a better way to measure the amount of cash generated from our operations that can be used to fund our capital investments or return value to our investors through cash distributions and buybacks, without regard for fluctuations caused by timing of when amounts earned or incurred were collected, received or paid from period to period.

DCF is an important non-GAAP liquidity measure for our common unitholders since it serves as an indicator of our success in providing a cash return on investment. Specifically, this liquidity measure indicates to investors whether or not we are generating cash flows at a level that can sustain or support an increase in our quarterly cash distributions. DCF is also a quantitative standard used by the investment community with respect to publicly traded partnerships because the value of a partnership unit is, in part, measured by its yield, which is based on the amount of cash distributions a partnership can pay to a common unitholder.

Operational DCF, which is defined as DCF excluding the impact of proceeds from asset sales and other matters and monetization of interest rate derivative instruments, is a supplemental non-GAAP liquidity measure that quantifies the portion of cash available for distribution to common unitholders that was generated from our normal operations. We believe that it is important to consider this non-GAAP measure as it provides an enhanced perspective of our assets’ ability to generate cash flows without regard for certain items that do not reflect our core operations.

The GAAP measure most directly comparable to DCF and Operational DCF is net cash flow provided by operating activities.

Adjusted EBITDA is commonly used as a supplemental financial measure by our management and external users of our financial statements, such as investors, commercial banks, research analysts and rating agencies, to assess the financial performance of our assets without regard to financing methods, capital structures or historical cost basis; the ability of our assets to generate cash sufficient to pay interest and support our indebtedness; and the viability of projects and the overall rates of return on alternative investment opportunities.

Since Adjusted EBITDA excludes some, but not all, items that affect net income or loss and because these measures may vary among other companies, the Adjusted EBITDA data presented in this press release may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. The GAAP measure most directly comparable to Adjusted EBITDA is net cash flow provided by operating activities.

We evaluate segment performance based on our financial measure of gross operating margin. Gross operating margin is an important performance measure of the core profitability of our operations and forms the basis of our internal financial reporting. We believe that investors benefit from having access to the same financial measures that our management uses in evaluating segment results.

The term “total gross operating margin” represents GAAP operating income exclusive of (i) depreciation, amortization and accretion expenses (excluding amortization of major maintenance costs for reaction-based plants and amortization of finance lease right-of-use assets), (ii) impairment charges, (iii) gains and losses attributable to asset sales and related matters, and (iv) general and administrative costs. Total gross operating margin includes equity in the earnings of unconsolidated affiliates, but is exclusive of other income and expense transactions, income taxes, the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles and extraordinary charges. Total gross operating margin is presented on a 100 percent basis before any allocation of earnings to noncontrolling interests. The GAAP financial measure most directly comparable to total gross operating margin is operating income.

Total gross operating margin excludes amounts attributable to shipper make-up rights as described in footnote (6) to Exhibit A of this press release.

The following table summarizes the mark-to-market gains (losses) for the periods indicated:
