"The partnership is guiding for $3.1 billion to $3.3 billion in Adjusted EBITDA for 2026, roughly triple what the legacy fuel distribution business generated just a few years ago. Units are up 28.22% year-to-date through March 18, 2026."
"The $9.1 billion Parkland Corporation acquisition closed October 31, 2025 instantly expanded Sunoco's footprint to 32 countries and added a refining segment. TanQuid, Germany's largest independent terminal operator, closed in January 2026. The NuStar deal, completed in May 2024, drove the Pipeline Systems segment from zero to a meaningful contributor."
"Q4 2025 illustrated the new earnings power. Adjusted EBITDA hit $706 million for the quarter, excluding $60 million in one-time transaction costs. Fuel volumes reached 3.3 billion gallons, up 54% year-over-year, with margins expanding to 17.7 cents per gallon from 10.6 cents in the prior year period."
"For MLPs, Distributable Cash Flow is the relevant coverage metric, and the trailing twelve-month coverage ratio stood at 1.9 times at year-end. Full-year 2025 dividends of $657 million exceeded free cash flow of $615 million."
Sunoco LP executed a major transformation over 18 months through strategic acquisitions including Parkland Corporation ($9.1 billion), TanQuid, and NuStar, expanding operations to 32 countries and adding refining capabilities. Total assets grew from $6.85 billion in 2023 to $28.36 billion by year-end 2025, with long-term debt reaching $13.37 billion. Q4 2025 demonstrated improved operational performance with Adjusted EBITDA of $706 million and fuel volumes of 3.3 billion gallons, up 54% year-over-year, with margins expanding to 17.7 cents per gallon. Despite GAAP EPS missing estimates due to acquisition-related depreciation and interest expenses, Distributable Cash Flow coverage ratio of 1.9 times supports the dividend structure typical for MLPs.
