Sunoco LP Announces Second Quarter 2022 Financial and Operating Results


  • Reports strong second quarter results including net income of $121 million, Adjusted EBITDA(1) of $214 million and Distributable Cash Flow, as adjusted(1) of $159 million
  • Current quarter distribution coverage of 1.83 times and trailing twelve months coverage of 1.70 times with leverage of 4.17 times at the end of the second quarter
  • Reaffirms full-year 2022 Adjusted EBITDA(1)(2) guidance of $795 to $835 million

DALLAS, Aug. 3, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Sunoco LP (NYSE: SUN) ("SUN" or the "Partnership") today reported financial and operating results for the three-month period ended June 30, 2022.

Financial and Operational Highlights

For the three months ended June 30, 2022, net income was $121 million versus $166 million in the second quarter of 2021.  

Adjusted EBITDA(1) for the quarter was $214 million compared with $201 million in the second quarter of 2021. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA(1) reflects higher reported fuel margins and volumes, and the impact of recent acquisitions, partially offset by higher operating expenses(3).

Distributable Cash Flow, as adjusted(1), for the quarter was $159 million, compared to $145 million a year ago.

The Partnership sold approximately 2.0 billion gallons of fuel in the second quarter of 2022, up 3% vs. the second quarter of 2021.  Fuel margin for all gallons sold was 12.3 cents per gallon for the quarter compared to 11.3 cents per gallon a year ago.

Distribution and Coverage

On July 26, 2022, the Board of Directors of SUN's general partner declared a distribution for the second quarter of 2022 of $0.8255 per unit, or $3.3020 per unit on an annualized basis.  The distribution will be paid on August 19, 2022 to common unitholders of record on August 8, 2022.  SUN's current quarter cash coverage was 1.83 times and trailing twelve months coverage was 1.70 times. 

Liquidity and Leverage

At June 30, 2022, SUN had $869 million of borrowings against its revolving credit facility and other long-term debt of $2.7 billion.  The Partnership maintained liquidity of approximately $625 million at the end of the quarter under its $1.5 billion revolving credit facility.  SUN's leverage ratio of net debt to Adjusted EBITDA(1), calculated in accordance with its credit facility, was 4.17 times at the end of the second quarter.

Capital Spending

SUN's total capital expenditures for the second quarter were $29 million, which included $24 million for growth capital and $5 million for maintenance capital.  For the full-year 2022, SUN continues to expect growth capital expenditures of at least $150 million and maintenance capital expenditures of approximately $50 million.

SUN's segment results and other supplementary data are provided after the financial tables below.
