Management highlights

Segment performance
For the third quarter of 2024, adjusted EBITDA details by segment:
- NGL and Refined Products: $1.01 billion vs $1.08 billion in Q3 2023, due to Mariner East growth and NGL exports offset by lower hedged NGL inventory gains.
- Midstream: $816 million vs $631 million in Q3 2023, driven by higher Permian Basin and Eagle Ford volumes, and Crestwood/WTG acquisitions.
- Crude Oil: $768 million vs $706 million in Q3 2023, due to record crude throughput, exports, and Permian joint venture.
- Interstate Natural Gas: $460 million vs $491 million in Q3 2023, with higher Panhandle/Trunkline/Gulf Run demand offset by lower IT utilization and higher expenses.
- Intrastate Natural Gas: $329 million vs $244 million in Q3 2023, from increased pipeline optimization gains.
Guidance
