Enterprise Products Partners Q3 2025 Earnings Call Transcript

Key Takeaways

• Positive Sentiment: Reported adjusted EBITDA of $2.4 billion and distributable cash flow of $1.8 billion (1.5x coverage), declared a 3.8% distribution increase to $0.545 per unit and retained $635 million of DCF this quarter.
• Positive Sentiment: Board boosted the buyback authorization by $3 billion to a $5 billion program and plans to split discretionary free cash flow between programmatic/opportunistic buybacks and debt paydown.
• Positive Sentiment: Several major projects are coming into service or ramping — FRAC14 is online, Bahia and Seminole pipeline work targeted for late 2025, PDH1 running ~95% of nameplate and PDH2 returned from turnaround — and management expects organic growth CapEx to revert to a mid‑cycle ~$2–$2.5 billion in 2026.
• Negative Sentiment: Consolidated net leverage is ~3.3x (above the 2.75–3.25x target) and total debt stands at ~$33.9 billion, with management saying leverage should normalize by year‑end 2026 once new project EBITDA is fully reflected.
• Positive Sentiment: Operational momentum in the Permian remains strong (well connects and gathering volumes exceeding prior expectations), and strategic bolt‑on deals — including the Occidental Midland gathering acquisition — expand drillable locations and NGL/ethane/LPG liftings (ethane fully contracted, LPG ~90% contracted).

Presentation

[Operator]

Thank you for standing by and welcome to Enterprise Products Partners L.P.'s third quarter 2025 earnings conference call. At this time, all participants are in a listen-only mode. After the speaker presentation, there will be a question and answer session. To ask a question during the session, you will need to press star 11 on your telephone. To remove yourself from the queue, you may press star 11 again. I would now like to hand the call over to Libby Strait, Vice President of Investor Relations. Please go ahead.

[Libby Strait, VP of Investor Relations at Enterprise Products Partners L.P.]

Good morning and welcome to the Enterprise Products Partners conference call to discuss third quarter 2025 earnings. Our speakers today will be Co-Chief Executive Officers of Enterprise's general partner, Jim Teague and Randy Fowler. Other members of our senior management team are also in attendance for the call today. During this call we will make forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 based on the beliefs of the company as well as assumptions made by and information currently available to Enterprise's management team. Although management believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, it can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct. Please refer to our latest filings with the SEC for a list of factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements made during this call.

[Libby Strait, VP of Investor Relations at Enterprise Products Partners L.P.]

With that, I'll turn it over to Jim.

[Jim Teague, Director and Co-CEO at Enterprise Products Partners L.P.]

Thank you, Libby. Good morning. Before we dive into our third quarter results, I want to take a moment to recognize the upcoming retirement of Tony Chovanec. Tony's been more than a colleague. He's been a dear friend and a guiding force at Enterprise for nearly two decades. His leadership in building our fundamentals and supply appraisals helped steer Enterprise through the shale revolution and set the standard across the industry. We wish him all the best in the next chapter and thank him for his invaluable contributions. Tony will be with us through the start of next year, but we wanted to make sure we had an opportunity to congratulate him on an incredible career on this call.

[Tony Chovanec, EVP of Fundamentals and Commodity Risk Assessment at Enterprise Products Partners L.P.]

Jim, I really appreciate.

[Tony Chovanec, EVP of Fundamentals and Commodity Risk Assessment at Enterprise Products Partners L.P.]

Those kind words and to all y'all here around the table, I really appreciate y'all people on the call, the analyst community, our producers, our customers around the world. I'm forever grateful for the interest and respect that you've always shown for in our fundamentals and our supply pressure work. Sincerely, Jim, I want to thank you for years ago when we sat down at your table recognizing early on that we had something that we now know as the Shale revolution and as you put it, you had a bunch of reports on the table in front of you and you told me something's different this time and giving me the chance to establish a fundamentals team that I've been so honored and frankly humbled to be part of.

[Tony Chovanec, EVP of Fundamentals and Commodity Risk Assessment at Enterprise Products Partners L.P.]

I really mean that.

[Tony Chovanec, EVP of Fundamentals and Commodity Risk Assessment at Enterprise Products Partners L.P.]

I guess last but not least, Corey Johnson, the data science team, what y'all have taught me over the last four years I'll take with me the rest of my life. Thanks to everyone.

[Tony Chovanec, EVP of Fundamentals and Commodity Risk Assessment at Enterprise Products Partners L.P.]

Thank you, sir.

[Jim Teague, Director and Co-CEO at Enterprise Products Partners L.P.]

I'm about to cry, Tony. Matter results today, we reported adjusted EBITDA of $2.4 billion for the third quarter, generating $1.8 billion of distributable cash flow, providing 1.5x coverage. Additionally, we retained $635 million of DCF. When I look at the third quarter results, I'm reminded of the long-anticipated projects we're commissioning in the fourth quarter. Third quarter results were lighter than expected, but far from discouraging as we look ahead to year end and into 2026. After a three-month delay, Frac 14 is now in service and will contribute to our results going forward. The Bahia Pipeline and Seminole Pipeline Conversion will come online in tandem, adding capacity to our NGL pipeline system and returning capacity and flexibility to our crude oil pipelines.

[Jim Teague, Director and Co-CEO at Enterprise Products Partners L.P.]

We originally planned for these projects to be completed around mid-year, but we look forward to completing them in the remaining months of 2025 and what they'll deliver. Our PDH plants are looking up, with PDH 1 averaging 95% of nameplate and PDH 2 showing similar promise as it resumes operations following a third quarter turnaround to address coking in the fourth reactor, an issue the technology licensor has committed at the highest levels to resolve. If you add all that up, I see a lot of upside that was pushed out of the third quarter. As you know, our petrochemical facilities at Mont Belvieu face their share of opportunities and challenges. Enterprise is built on engineering and operational excellence, and Randy and I couldn't be more proud of the incredible work our petrochemicals teams have done to bring these assets up to our standard.

[Jim Teague, Director and Co-CEO at Enterprise Products Partners L.P.]

We've never been more confident in the team we have in place today. With the Neches River Terminal set to be completed next year, we're nearing the end of a multi-year, multi-billion dollar capital deployment cycle that began in 2022. These strategic investments, including pipelines, marine terminals, and key acquisitions, put us in a great position to capitalize on long-term growth from the Haynesville and Permian basins. Finally, I'm sure Randy's going to hit this, but I kind of enjoy stealing his thunder from time to time to say this morning we announced a $3 billion increase to our buyback program, taking it from $2 billion to $5 billion. While we see plenty of opportunities to efficiently expand our footprint in the future, we are also well positioned to continue our strong track record of returning capital to our unitholders.

[Jim Teague, Director and Co-CEO at Enterprise Products Partners L.P.]

Growing distributions will continue to be our primary focus, but this expanded program enhances our flexibility to grow buybacks alongside rising free cash flow. We're excited about the next chapter, not just in the years ahead, but in the decades to come. With that, I'll turn it over to Randy.

[Randy Fowler, Director and Co-CEO at Enterprise Products Partners L.P.]

Thank you, Jim, and good morning everyone. Starting off with the income statement, net income attributable to common unitholders was $1.3 billion, or $0.61 per common unit on a fully diluted basis for the third quarter of 2025. Adjusted cash flow from operations, which is cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital, was $2.1 billion for the third quarter of 2025. We declared a distribution of $0.545 per common unit for the third quarter 2025, which is a 3.8% increase over the distribution declared for the third quarter of 2024. The distribution will be paid November 14th to common unitholders of record as of the close of business October 31st. In the third quarter, the partnership purchased approximately 2.5 million common units under its buyback program for $80 million.

[Randy Fowler, Director and Co-CEO at Enterprise Products Partners L.P.]

Total repurchases for the first nine months of 2025 were $250 million, or approximately 8 million Enterprise common units, bringing total purchases under our buyback program to approximately $1.4 billion. In addition to buybacks, our distribution reinvestment plan and employee unit purchase plan purchased a combined 3.5 million common units on the open market for $114 million during the first nine months of 2025, including 1.2 million common units on the open market for $37 million in the third quarter. For the twelve months ending September 30th, 2025, Enterprise paid out approximately $4.7 billion in distributions to limited partners combined with the $313 million of common unit repurchases over the same period, Enterprise return total capital was $5 billion, resulting in a payout ratio of adjusted cash flow from operations of 58%.

[Randy Fowler, Director and Co-CEO at Enterprise Products Partners L.P.]

As Jim mentioned earlier, we expect an inflation inflection point in discretionary free cash flow in 2026 as we have completed a four year period of large investments, both organic and acquisitions, that have enhanced and expanded our integrated footprint in the Permian and Haynesville Basins and our premier wellhead to market businesses serving domestic as well as international markets via our marine terminals. With the completion of the major projects such as Bahia NGL pipeline and Neches River Terminal, we continue to believe our organic growth capital expenditures in the near term will return to our mid cycle range of approximately $2 billion-$2.5 billion per year and largely consist of pipeline expansions and smaller projects both on the supply and demand side and natural gas storage, treating and processing facilities.

[Randy Fowler, Director and Co-CEO at Enterprise Products Partners L.P.]

As Jim noted earlier, we announced our board has approved an increase in our common unit program of $5 billion. The program now has $3.6 billion in capacity, allowing us to increase the amount of our annual buybacks as our free cash flow increases. In terms of allocation of capital, we see cash distributions to partners growing commensurate with distributable cash flow per unit in the near term, with discretionary free cash flow being evenly split between buybacks and retiring debt. Growth in cash distributions to partners can be further enhanced by the percent of common units we retire through buybacks. Total capital investments were $2 billion in the third quarter of 2025, which included $1.2 billion for growth capital projects, $583 million for the acquisition of natural gas gathering systems from Occidental in the Midland Basin, and $198 million of sustaining capital expenditures.

[Randy Fowler, Director and Co-CEO at Enterprise Products Partners L.P.]

Our expected range of growth capital expenditures for 2025 and 2026 remains unchanged at approximately $4.5 billion for 2025 and $2.2 billion-$2.5 billion for 2026. We continue to expect 2025 sustaining capital expenditures to be approximately $525 million. Our total debt principal outstanding was approximately $33.9 billion as of September 30, 2025. Assuming the final maturity date of our hybrids, the weighted average life of our debt portfolio is approximately 17 years. Our weighted average cost of debt was 4.7% and approximately 96% of our debt was fixed rate. At September 30th, we had consolidated liquidity of $3.6 billion, which includes availability under our credit facility and unrestricted cash on hand. Our adjusted EBITDA was $2.4 billion for the third quarter and $9.9 billion for the last 12 months.

[Randy Fowler, Director and Co-CEO at Enterprise Products Partners L.P.]

As of September 30th, our consolidated leverage ratio is 3.3x on a net basis after adjusting debt for the partial equity, treated the hybrid debt and reduced by the partnership's unrestricted cash on hand. This is above our leverage target of 3.3x plus or minus a quarter, or a range of 2.75x-3.25x. This is due to the capital expenditures on our large projects such as Frac 14, Bahia NGL Pipeline, Neches River Terminal, and the acquisition of Occidental's Midland gathering system being included in our debt balance. Without EBITDA included in our trailing 12 months of EBITDA, we believe our leverage will return to our target range by year end 2026 when we have a full year of EBITDA from these projects. With that, Libby, we can open it up for questions.

[Libby Strait, VP of Investor Relations at Enterprise Products Partners L.P.]

Thank you, Randy. Operator, we are ready to open the line for questions.

[Operator]

Thank you.

[Operator]

As a reminder to ask a question, you will need to press Star 11 on your telephone to remove yourself from the queue. Please press Star 11 again. Please limit yourself to one question and one follow-up or two questions to allow everyone the opportunity to participate. Please stand by while we compile the Q&A roster. Our first question comes from the line of Jean Ann Salisbury of BofA. Please go ahead, Jean.

[Jean Ann Salisbury, Managing Director of Equity Research at BofA]

Good morning. There are lots of Permian gas pipelines coming on next year in the basin. Do you think that that's going to drive producers to produce more gas at the margin? Do you consider that to be a constraint?

[Randy Fowler, Director and Co-CEO at Enterprise Products Partners L.P.]

You know the Permian Basin, Jean Ann is an oil basin first and foremost and it will be forevermore. I think the thing that more gas pipelines does do is just add NGLs transportation takeaway for both NGLs and natural gas. At the end of the day, I'll say it's healthy for the producers, meaning.

[Randy Fowler, Director and Co-CEO at Enterprise Products Partners L.P.]

It is healthy for the basin.

[Randy Fowler, Director and Co-CEO at Enterprise Products Partners L.P.]

That's kind of the bottom line. That's how we see it. Jean,

[Jean Ann Salisbury, Managing Director of Equity Research at BofA]

that makes sense.

[Jean Ann Salisbury, Managing Director of Equity Research at BofA]

I think I have one more for you, Tony. I think I know what you're going to say, but as LPG exports ramp, I've gotten this question a lot from people. Do you see Asia, rescom and petchem demand as sort of an unlimited sink for all that LPG, or is there going to potentially require extreme price pressure on global propane to make it flow?

[Tony Chovanec, EVP of Fundamentals and Commodity Risk Assessment at Enterprise Products Partners L.P.]

You know, Jean, I'm going to punt that one to Tug because he travels the world, he and his team, if that's okay. Tug, can I do that?

[Tug Hanley, SVP of Hydrocarbon Marketing at Enterprise Products Partners L.P.]

Yeah, this is Tug. In short, I would say both. Rescom demand is growing internationally and petrochemical due to lightening of the petrochemical feed slate. The growth is really tied to supply. The U.S. will export what's needed to balance the market, and price will ultimately adjust upon that global demand. We're not necessarily worried about demand.

[Jim Teague, Director and Co-CEO at Enterprise Products Partners L.P.]

This is Jim.

[Jim Teague, Director and Co-CEO at Enterprise Products Partners L.P.]

This is Jim. I've got a fundamental that I always believed in. Price creates supply, and price creates demand. We're not going to have an issue with demand.

[Tony Chovanec, EVP of Fundamentals and Commodity Risk Assessment at Enterprise Products Partners L.P.]

Hey Jean, that makes sense. Jean, while you're still online, I guess I sort of have one for you. You and I have always been in the industry sort of obsessed with this molecule called ethane as you and we haven't always been on the same side of the ledger relative to this molecule, which now again just looking back has become very important and will become more important. I remember in 2018 at our analyst meeting I was on crutches and we were at the Museum of Natural Science and sitting there on the sidelines and you came and sat down next to me and you said I want to sit next to the only methane bear besides myself in the industry. You remember that?

[Jean Ann Salisbury, Managing Director of Equity Research at BofA]

I do. I remember that, Tony.

[Tony Chovanec, EVP of Fundamentals and Commodity Risk Assessment at Enterprise Products Partners L.P.]

What I'd like to say is we're approaching a million barrels a day of exports for ethane. You know, that's a line of sight that the industry can see and we still have it. Just like we talked that day, we still have 600,000-800,000 barrels a day that's being rejected.

[Jean Ann Salisbury, Managing Director of Equity Research at BofA]

Yes, it's unbelievable.

[Jean Ann Salisbury, Managing Director of Equity Research at BofA]

Tony, thank you for all of your help and time over the years. I'm really going to miss working with you.

[Tony Chovanec, EVP of Fundamentals and Commodity Risk Assessment at Enterprise Products Partners L.P.]

Thank you so much.

[Operator]

Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Theresa Chen of Barclays. Your line is open.

[Operator]

Theresa,

[Theresa Chen, Managing Director of Midstream and Refining Equity Research at Barclays]

good morning.

[Theresa Chen, Managing Director of Midstream and Refining Equity Research at Barclays]

I'd also like to congratulate Tony on his retirement and thank him for his insights and help over the many years. We wish you the best, Tony.

[Tony Chovanec, EVP of Fundamentals and Commodity Risk Assessment at Enterprise Products Partners L.P.]

Thank you, Theresa.

[Theresa Chen, Managing Director of Midstream and Refining Equity Research at Barclays]

Going to the capital allocation side of things on the upside buyback authorization, would you talk about or just provide more details on the capital allocation outlook for the next couple of years? What do you see at this point as a steady state run rate for CapEx, and do you expect to buy back stock on a more ratable basis given the visibility in free cash flow growth, or will it be more opportunistic and dependent on market dynamics?

[Randy Fowler, Director and Co-CEO at Enterprise Products Partners L.P.]

Okay.

[Randy Fowler, Director and Co-CEO at Enterprise Products Partners L.P.]

Theresa, this is Randy. Yeah, I think when we come in and think about sort of as you put over the near term, the next two or three years on organic growth CapEx, we do see it in the $2 billion-$2.5 billion range. With the projects that we currently have announced and with a few that we've got pretty good visibility on that we think will come forward, that's included in expectations next year. We see really $2.2 billion-$2.5 billion. Could next year get to $2.6 billion-$2.7 billion? It could, but we don't see it going to $3 billion. I think that's sort of where we are on the CapEx side. As a result, given those numbers, we'll have some free cash flow to deploy. At this point, looking to split it between buybacks and debt pay down.

[Randy Fowler, Director and Co-CEO at Enterprise Products Partners L.P.]

I think because we're leaning in a little bit more on buybacks than what we've done over the last two or three years, there could be an element of programmatic buybacks in there as well. With the component of debt pay down that we have in there as well, that gives us a little bit more flexibility to be opportunistic. I see the buybacks having a component of both programmatic and opportunistic.

[Theresa Chen, Managing Director of Midstream and Refining Equity Research at Barclays]

Understood, thank you. With Dyno's announced plans yesterday to potentially move up to 150,000 bpd of refined products, primarily from its own refineries, from PADD 4 to PADD 5, could this lead to better utilization and/or marketing opportunities on your Texas Western product system that recently went into service and ramped? How do you see this evolving?

[Justin Kleiderer, SVP of Pipelines and Terminals at Enterprise Products Partners L.P.]

Yeah, Theresa, this is Justin. Clearly, a lot of headlines out there with respect to people reacting to the ongoing closures and potential future closures in California. Two points to make. There's a lot to unpack with respect to the projects out there, whether or not they go or not, and also what the future closures or potential closures in California will be. We'll hang our hat on two things with respect to the system. One is we run a unique corridor pretty much direct to Salt Lake. To the extent that Salt Lake gets net shorter as a result of these projects, we're going to stand to be the beneficiary. If you zoom out to our overall product system, both our TW system and our legacy TE system benefit from Mid Continent pricing being at a premium to the Gulf.

[Justin Kleiderer, SVP of Pipelines and Terminals at Enterprise Products Partners L.P.]

Really, all three of these projects that have been announced do some degree of that. Our overall product system will benefit if any of them go. Again, early days, so we'll just have to see how it plays out.

[Theresa Chen, Managing Director of Midstream and Refining Equity Research at Barclays]

That's very helpful. Thank you.

[Operator]

Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Michael Blum of Wells Fargo. Your question please, Michael.

[Michael Blum, Managing Director of Equity Research at Wells Fargo]

Thanks. Good morning. I also wanted to wish congratulations to Tony. We really enjoyed working with you. Congrats.

[Tony Chovanec, EVP of Fundamentals and Commodity Risk Assessment at Enterprise Products Partners L.P.]

Thank you.

[Tony Chovanec, EVP of Fundamentals and Commodity Risk Assessment at Enterprise Products Partners L.P.]

Thank you.

[Tony Chovanec, EVP of Fundamentals and Commodity Risk Assessment at Enterprise Products Partners L.P.]

Michael,

[Michael Blum, Managing Director of Equity Research at Wells Fargo]

wanted to ask kind of a question.

[Michael Blum, Managing Director of Equity Research at Wells Fargo]

Macro question, I guess. You're signaling here an inflection point. You've completed a big capital build-out phase and now you're kind of pivoting to some more cash, cash return to shareholders. How much of this is just your view that the macro is less constructive? Oil prices lower, drilling slowing, etc. Is it just a function that you think your system is built out, you're still expecting that growth but you just have ample capacity?

[Randy Fowler, Director and Co-CEO at Enterprise Products Partners L.P.]

Yeah, Michael, I think it's just a function of large projects. I come back in and if you look at, if you just look at our history, we have had some large capital intensive projects that we put into service and again our CapEx has flexed up and then it's come back into a sort of a normal mid-cycle range and I think that's where we are.

[Randy Fowler, Director and Co-CEO at Enterprise Products Partners L.P.]

Probably the most recent cycle of that was in 2015, 2016, where we built the Morgan's Point ethane export facility. We built the Aegis Ethane Pipeline running over to South Louisiana and then we built the Midland ECHO 1 system. That was a period of elevated CapEx. We came back down into sort of a $2.5 billion range until we saw the next large capital project. I think it's more of a function that as opposed to a change in our macro view of the economy.

[Michael Blum, Managing Director of Equity Research at Wells Fargo]

Okay, thanks for that. Makes sense.

[Michael Blum, Managing Director of Equity Research at Wells Fargo]

On the buyback, wanted to ask how you're going to basically balance.

[Michael Blum, Managing Director of Equity Research at Wells Fargo]

The potential increase in buybacks with any tax ramifications for your unitholders, and does that create any kind of limit to the amount of buybacks you can do in any given year because of taxes?

[Michael Blum, Managing Director of Equity Research at Wells Fargo]

Thanks.

[Randy Fowler, Director and Co-CEO at Enterprise Products Partners L.P.]

Really, the tax ramifications are really for those selling unitholders, not for the unitholders that remain.

[Michael Blum, Managing Director of Equity Research at Wells Fargo]

Thank you.

[Randy Fowler, Director and Co-CEO at Enterprise Products Partners L.P.]

Did I answer your question, Michael?

[Michael Blum, Managing Director of Equity Research at Wells Fargo]

You did.

[Michael Blum, Managing Director of Equity Research at Wells Fargo]

Thank you.

[Randy Fowler, Director and Co-CEO at Enterprise Products Partners L.P.]

Okay,

[Operator]

thank you.

[Operator]

Our next question comes from the line of John Mackay of Goldman Sachs. Please go ahead, John.

[John Mackay, VP of Equity Research at Goldman Sachs]

Hey, good morning everyone. Thank you for the time, Tony. I'm going to make sure we get a few last ones out of you while we still have you. Thank you again.

[Tony Chovanec, EVP of Fundamentals and Commodity Risk Assessment at Enterprise Products Partners L.P.]

Thank you.

[John Mackay, VP of Equity Research at Goldman Sachs]

We haven't really talked about the broader macro that much. The last question kind of touched on it. I'd love just to hear you guys were a little ahead of the curve on being a little cautious earlier this year. I'd love just to hear a little kind of mark to market on what they're thinking now and what you're hearing from your Permian producer customers.

[Jim Teague, Director and Co-CEO at Enterprise Products Partners L.P.]

Is Natalie in here?

[Randy Fowler, Director and Co-CEO at Enterprise Products Partners L.P.]

Yeah, I think, Natalie, tell us what you're seeing on our systems would be the best way to start.

[Natalie Gayden, SVP of Natural Gas Assets at Enterprise Products Partners L.P.]

Hey, Michael, this is Natalie Gayden. I would say in Midland volumes are outperforming our expectations. I think the last time I sat on this call I gave some well connects just for color. Well connects in 2026 are up 25% from what I told you last time. We're now expecting almost over 600 wells to be connected to the system next year. A lot of that is fourth quarter surge from the original 500 in the Delaware. Same growth trajectory. We've got a record number of wells being connected to the low pressure system we've built up in the northern Delaware. That growth curve is steepening for Delaware and that trajectory remains intact and increasingly constructive. Lastly, I'll say this, and I may say it more than once, we don't talk about base volume durability and PDP and how it holds in on gas.

[Natalie Gayden, SVP of Natural Gas Assets at Enterprise Products Partners L.P.]

I think that sometimes what people miss and I'll just give you an example. We have a producer in Midland that finished their development program a year ago. Today in Midland those volumes are flat with where they were then. In some part of the PDP and the base volume and durability of that volume, I think that's just upside down.

[Jim Teague, Director and Co-CEO at Enterprise Products Partners L.P.]

Jay, you got anything on crude oil or Justin on NGLs?

[James Bany, SVP of Crude Oil Pipelines and Terminals at Enterprise Products Partners L.P.]

Yeah, this is Jay on crude. My story is similar to Natalie. Again, we don't have the same large footprint. We're probably more heavily weighted to Midland Basin. From 2024 averages to 2025, we saw well above a double-digit gain in gathering, and we're seeing at least based on producer curves for 2026, something very similar.

[Jim Teague, Director and Co-CEO at Enterprise Products Partners L.P.]

How are you contracted on Seminole?

[James Bany, SVP of Crude Oil Pipelines and Terminals at Enterprise Products Partners L.P.]

Yeah, I mean, we've mentioned it. Seminole comes up at the beginning of next year. We do have some space as that pipeline ramps up. Over the course of 2026, we become very well contracted over the year.

[Randy Fowler, Director and Co-CEO at Enterprise Products Partners L.P.]

I'll say again, it'll be the last.

[Randy Fowler, Director and Co-CEO at Enterprise Products Partners L.P.]

Time I say it.

[Randy Fowler, Director and Co-CEO at Enterprise Products Partners L.P.]

The PDP wedge is the most underappreciated thing in the industry, particularly when you're a midstream company. That's the reality, and we see it time and time again.

[John Mackay, VP of Equity Research at Goldman Sachs]

That's absolutely clear. I appreciate all that color. Second one from me is.

[John Mackay, VP of Equity Research at Goldman Sachs]

Talked a.

[John Mackay, VP of Equity Research at Goldman Sachs]

Little bit about some of these projects coming on maybe a little later than hoped. Could you just give us a general target, you know, $6 billion of projects coming on between now and, you know, next couple quarters. When would you expect those all generally all SQL to be fully ramped?

[Jim Teague, Director and Co-CEO at Enterprise Products Partners L.P.]

What was the question? I think you asked when did these projects, when would we expect them to be fully ramped? That I referred to in my—yeah, I think what I said was Bahia will be on at end of November, 1st December. Justin, okay, Frac 14 is up and running. PDH 2 was in the process of.

[Jim Teague, Director and Co-CEO at Enterprise Products Partners L.P.]

Running.

[Jim Teague, Director and Co-CEO at Enterprise Products Partners L.P.]

What else was the Frac 14?

[Randy Fowler, Director and Co-CEO at Enterprise Products Partners L.P.]

River Terminal came up in July.

[Jim Teague, Director and Co-CEO at Enterprise Products Partners L.P.]

Take a shot, Tug.

[Tug Hanley, SVP of Hydrocarbon Marketing at Enterprise Products Partners L.P.]

Yeah, this is Tug. NRT will be, it's ramping right now. It'll be full, call it by the middle of next year, the first train, and then the second train comes online shortly after that. That'll be our LPG ethane flex train, and we'll have long-term LPG contracts commenced once that train starts as well.

[Jim Teague, Director and Co-CEO at Enterprise Products Partners L.P.]

Okay.

[Jim Teague, Director and Co-CEO at Enterprise Products Partners L.P.]

Are you fully contracted on ethane and LPG?

[Tug Hanley, SVP of Hydrocarbon Marketing at Enterprise Products Partners L.P.]

We're around 90% contracted on LPG, and we are fully contracted on that thing for term.

[John Mackay, VP of Equity Research at Goldman Sachs]

Appreciate the caller, thank you.

[Operator]

Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Jeremy Tonet of JPMorgan. Your question please, Jeremy.

[Operator]

Hey, good morning guys. This is Brothan Ready on for Jeremy. I just had one question. I think previous remarks had touched upon the potential for not a major step up in 2026 organic growth CapEx but maybe point to the high end if anything. In that case, curious where in the value chain you see the most attractive opportunities for organic growth. If you could just expand upon that a little bit,

[Jim Teague, Director and Co-CEO at Enterprise Products Partners L.P.]

I'll take a.

[Jim Teague, Director and Co-CEO at Enterprise Products Partners L.P.]

First shot at it and then let Natalie and maybe Tug. I mean, you know, I don't think we're building gas processing plants and the appetite we have for exports is stunning. I think you could see us moving in both directions. Natalie, processing.

[Natalie Gayden, SVP of Natural Gas Assets at Enterprise Products Partners L.P.]

Yeah, this is Natalie on processing. If you think about it, there's 5 Bcf a day under construction. Let's just call it in the Permian of gas processing capacity in a basin that's been growing almost 2 Bcf, 2.2 Bcf a day a year. In the near term, probably call it one to two year window, we've got clear line of sight to two more plants, two more 300 a day plants, one beyond what we've announced, one in each basin, and we've got further expansion opportunities beyond that. As we expand our gathering system, our ability to scale with capital efficiency is really rooted in the reach that we already have. I'll just leave it there.

[Jim Teague, Director and Co-CEO at Enterprise Products Partners L.P.]

Natalie, you want to add on what we're seeing on natural gas-fired power generation in Louisiana, Texas?

[Natalie Gayden, SVP of Natural Gas Assets at Enterprise Products Partners L.P.]

We're capturing indirect upside from some of that data center demand really through incremental power generation across Texas and Louisiana. We have an advantaged interconnect footprint in the San Antonio and Dallas area. We're well positioned to benefit from that trend without really much incremental CapEx. On the behind-the-meter side, we've got several high-margin, kind of low-touch opportunities that require minimal investment there, but they offer opportunities for value uplift.

[Tug Hanley, SVP of Hydrocarbon Marketing at Enterprise Products Partners L.P.]

Yeah, and this is just with respect to ethane specifically on the export side. We're continuing to see strong international interest for ethane. There's a lot of demand, so there could be some opportunities there as well.

[Tug Hanley, SVP of Hydrocarbon Marketing at Enterprise Products Partners L.P.]

Got it. Very helpful.

[Tug Hanley, SVP of Hydrocarbon Marketing at Enterprise Products Partners L.P.]

Thank you, guys.

[Operator]

Thank you.

Our next question comes from the line of Keith Stanley of Wolfe Research. Please go ahead. Keith.

[Keith Stanley, Director of Equity Research at Wolfe Research]

Hi, good morning. First, I thought you sounded more optimistic than previously on the PDH issues now being behind you. Am I hearing that right? Can you talk a little more to what gives you confidence after this turnaround that you're more or less in?

[Keith Stanley, Director of Equity Research at Wolfe Research]

The clear going forward?

[Graham Bacon, EVP and COO at Enterprise Products Partners L.P.]

This is Graham on PDH 2.

[Graham Bacon, EVP and COO at Enterprise Products Partners L.P.]

We've had some issues with coking on.

[Graham Bacon, EVP and COO at Enterprise Products Partners L.P.]

The fourth reactor, as Jim mentioned in his remarks. We've developed new operating procedures and made some modifications during the outage to address some of those, and we continue to work with a high-level team from our licenser to improve the process.

[Graham Bacon, EVP and COO at Enterprise Products Partners L.P.]

If you look at PDH 1, if.

[Graham Bacon, EVP and COO at Enterprise Products Partners L.P.]

You look at our run rate for the quarter, we had a very high run rate, a few minor issues.

[Graham Bacon, EVP and COO at Enterprise Products Partners L.P.]

The team out there has really.

[Graham Bacon, EVP and COO at Enterprise Products Partners L.P.]

Done a great job of being able to reduce some of the impacts.

[Graham Bacon, EVP and COO at Enterprise Products Partners L.P.]

We know some of the we've got.

[Graham Bacon, EVP and COO at Enterprise Products Partners L.P.]

Line of sight on fixing a few.

[Graham Bacon, EVP and COO at Enterprise Products Partners L.P.]

Of the issues that we have.

[Graham Bacon, EVP and COO at Enterprise Products Partners L.P.]

We are very optimistic going forward that the PDH run rates are going to continue to increase from where they've been, and we'll see a great improvement in 2026.

[Keith Stanley, Director of Equity Research at Wolfe Research]

That's great to hear. Second one on your Permian NGL pipelines, can you remind us the business model that you guys pursue here? Is it you're primarily transporting NGLs produced at your own plants on your Permian NGL pipelines, or is there any meaningful amount of third party NGL volume that you move on your Permian pipes today?

[Justin Kleiderer, SVP of Pipelines and Terminals at Enterprise Products Partners L.P.]

Hey Keith, it's Justin.

[Justin Kleiderer, SVP of Pipelines and Terminals at Enterprise Products Partners L.P.]

It's a portfolio of all of.

[Justin Kleiderer, SVP of Pipelines and Terminals at Enterprise Products Partners L.P.]

The above, but it's primarily rooted in the volumes that our gathering and processing plants bring to us. I'll give you a data point. In 2020, the volumes out of the Permian that our pipelines moved were.

[Justin Kleiderer, SVP of Pipelines and Terminals at Enterprise Products Partners L.P.]

45%.

[Justin Kleiderer, SVP of Pipelines and Terminals at Enterprise Products Partners L.P.]

Of those volumes were from our own gathering and processing facilities. In 2025, that number is now two thirds of the volume. We expect that trajectory to continue. We continue to see a growing allocation of our NGL portfolio to be behind our own gas plants. While we'll continue to look for other third party opportunities, we don't expect that to be our baseline assumption as large as it's been historically.

[Keith Stanley, Director of Equity Research at Wolfe Research]

That's a very helpful data point.

[Keith Stanley, Director of Equity Research at Wolfe Research]

Thank you.

[Operator]

Thank you.

Our next question comes from the line of AJ O'Donnell of TPH. Please go ahead, AJ.

[AJ O'Donnell, Director of Equity Research at TPH&Co]

Morning everyone and congrats on your retirement, Tony. Thank you. I wanted to go back to just some of the NGL and LPG stuff, especially on the terminal volumes. It seemed like for the third consecutive quarter we saw lower implied volumes on the LPG side. Just wondering if you guys could provide maybe a little bit more detail on kind of what's going on there, if there's anything to unpack.

[Tug Hanley, SVP of Hydrocarbon Marketing at Enterprise Products Partners L.P.]

Yeah, this is Tug. In the third quarter we had some minor maintenance, which resulted in some lower volumes, and we had some cargoes roll from month to month. Nothing other than that. Demand's still strong, it's robust.

[AJ O'Donnell, Director of Equity Research at TPH&Co]

Okay.

[AJ O'Donnell, Director of Equity Research at TPH&Co]

Just one other.

[AJ O'Donnell, Director of Equity Research at TPH&Co]

Just continuing on this theme of LPGs, you know, we're starting to see propane inventories notch new records here. Curious what your view is on the latest for the domestic propane market and maybe if there are any read-throughs on tailwinds for your storage business and or marketing opportunities you're looking out over the short to medium term.

[Tug Hanley, SVP of Hydrocarbon Marketing at Enterprise Products Partners L.P.]

If Contango presents opportunities, we have the storage assets to monetize that, and we will. With respect to lower LPG price, that could provide potentially some arbitrage opportunity across the water. Those would be the opportunity sets.

[AJ O'Donnell, Director of Equity Research at TPH&Co]

Okay, thanks guys.

[Jim Teague, Director and Co-CEO at Enterprise Products Partners L.P.]

How do you see our storage?

[Randy Fowler, Director and Co-CEO at Enterprise Products Partners L.P.]

I mean, I think Tug's right.

[Randy Fowler, Director and Co-CEO at Enterprise Products Partners L.P.]

We got a lot of storage.

[Randy Fowler, Director and Co-CEO at Enterprise Products Partners L.P.]

We got the biggest storage position in the world.

[Randy Fowler, Director and Co-CEO at Enterprise Products Partners L.P.]

Propane goes contango.

[Randy Fowler, Director and Co-CEO at Enterprise Products Partners L.P.]

It would be beneficial for Enterprise.

[AJ O'Donnell, Director of Equity Research at TPH&Co]

Great, appreciate the detail. Thank you.

[Operator]

Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Manav Gupta of UBS. Please go ahead. Manav.

[Manav Gupta, Executive Director and Equity Research Analyst at UBS]

Good morning.

[Manav Gupta, Executive Director and Equity Research Analyst at UBS]

Thank you for taking my questions. My first one is on August 6th you announced acquisition of some assets from Occidental. How is the integration of those assets going? The best acquisitions are ones which always come with some organic growth opportunity. If you could highlight the organic growth opportunities on these assets, maybe ethane or what else can be done to further get more revenue and EBITDA out of these assets?

[Natalie Gayden, SVP of Natural Gas Assets at Enterprise Products Partners L.P.]

Hey, this is Natalie Gayden. That asset acquisition was strategic. Let me just lay it out for everybody that doesn't remember. It's a 75,000 acre acreage dedication. It's got over 1,000 drillable locations. An opportunity of that scale is quite rare. The assets bolt on pretty seamlessly to our existing footprint and extend the reach. It will unlock for us an incremental $200 million a day almost immediately. Let's just call those revenues coming to us in really 2027. We love assets that are already producing gas, but then the development for that asset is going to be quite constructive and strong like any other asset or footprint that we've purchased. Again, being in an area and having the reach is the way we get incremental packages of gas onto our system. We've already seen synergies with the acquisition of that asset.

[Manav Gupta, Executive Director and Equity Research Analyst at UBS]

Perfect.

[Zach Strait, SVP of Unregulated NGLs at Enterprise Products Partners L.P.]

This is Zach. Sorry.

[Zach Strait, SVP of Unregulated NGLs at Enterprise Products Partners L.P.]

Also chime in that there's going to be a pull through on the NGL side to both Justin's pipe and our fractionators.

[Manav Gupta, Executive Director and Equity Research Analyst at UBS]

Thank you. My quick follow-up here is you guys did a very smart deal and got in the Permian sour gas opportunity with Piñon. The price was great. How is that opportunity developing along, and are you seeing more producers willing to go in that part of Eddy and Lee County because the gas oil ratios are favorable, drill for more gas, but then, sorry, more oil and then get this nasty gas. How is this Permian sour gas opportunity evolving for you after that announcement of that deal? Thank you.

[Natalie Gayden, SVP of Natural Gas Assets at Enterprise Products Partners L.P.]

Yeah. We still think Permian's the most attractive position out there. We're so proud of that. There has been a bit of a pacing gap, really, with producers working through some of the development hurdles they've had with commodities this high of H2S, but it's temporary. The trajectory remains intact. Train 4 is coming online next summer for us. It will add another 180 million a day of treating. We see Train 5 and 6 right behind it. The setup for that system is extremely bullish.

[Manav Gupta, Executive Director and Equity Research Analyst at UBS]

Thank you so much.

[Operator]

Thank you.

Our next question comes from the line of Brandon Bingham of Scotiabank. Your line is open, Brandon.

[Brandon Bingham, Associate Director of Equity Research at Scotiabank]

Hey, good morning.

[Brandon Bingham, Associate Director of Equity Research at Scotiabank]

Thanks for taking the questions. I was just curious, you know, looking at the Permian more broadly, there's a lot of announced egress capacity slated to come online over the next, call it, few years.

[Brandon Bingham, Associate Director of Equity Research at Scotiabank]

Just wondering what you make of it.

[Brandon Bingham, Associate Director of Equity Research at Scotiabank]

Considering your currently outlined growth expectations for the basin, is there a chance that some of these projects get sidelined? Or maybe conversely, do you think there is a chance that Permian growth actually accelerates to meet the announced build out?

[Natalie Gayden, SVP of Natural Gas Assets at Enterprise Products Partners L.P.]

This is Natalie again. Next year let's just call it 4.5 Bcf a day coming online. That will be really nice. I don't think we'll see, let's just call it late 2026. As a reminder, Tony kind of pointed out to it a little earlier, this is an oil basin. These gassier benches aren't being drilled. It's because of the multi-bench development that these producers are going after some of these gassy zones. Takeaways there, it's even better for them.

[Randy Fowler, Director and Co-CEO at Enterprise Products Partners L.P.]

I'll say again, it's very healthy for the basin. Negative gas prices are not healthy for producers.

[Brandon Bingham, Associate Director of Equity Research at Scotiabank]

Okay, fair enough. Just one more, just a quick clarifying one. Natalie, I think you were talking about two incremental plants beyond Athena or line of sight to them. Was that something contemplated for the 2026 CapEx budget, or were you just saying there's just line of sight to those over the next year or two? Just trying to figure out what's currently contemplated in the 2026 CapEx budget, if it's just Athena or if there's an incremental one, because you guys kind of have that one to two year cadence.

[Brandon Bingham, Associate Director of Equity Research at Scotiabank]

One to two a year cadence.

[Randy Fowler, Director and Co-CEO at Enterprise Products Partners L.P.]

Yeah. This is Randy, and our CapEx expectations for 2026, that includes the expectations that we'll be building a couple of more plants in addition to what announced.

[Brandon Bingham, Associate Director of Equity Research at Scotiabank]

Perfect.

[Brandon Bingham, Associate Director of Equity Research at Scotiabank]

Thank you.
