The culprit behind the earnings shortfall was Winter Storm Fern, which disrupted operations during the period and weighed on net income, which fell to $32.35 million from $39.03 million a year earlier. Yet beneath the headline miss, the operational picture was more constructive: Adjusted EBITDA rose to $132.28 million from $123.21 million, supported by stronger wholesale margins and growing interest income from sales-type leases. For investors already focused on distribution coverage sustainability, the partnership's 1.20x coverage ratio and 4.05x leverage will warrant close attention. Management declared its 53rd consecutive quarterly distribution increase at $1.13 per unit and reiterated full-year 2026 Adjusted EBITDA guidance of $520 million to $560 million, anchored by continued Delaware Basin growth at the Libby Gas Complex.
Key Takeaways
- • Higher wholesale margins drove increased Adjusted EBITDA
- • Increased interest income from sales-type leases benefited Storage and Transportation segment
- • Ramp-up of Delaware crude and water gathering businesses
- • Rising gas G&P volumes and crude gathering volumes despite Winter Storm Fern impact
- • Increased third-party cash flows contributing to economic separation from sponsor

“Delek Logistics continued its strong performance into 2026, supported by solid execution across our crude, gas, and water segments. During the first quarter, we saw continued benefits from the ramp-up of our Delaware crude and water gathering businesses and made further progress on our sour gas gathering and acid gas injection system by completing the drilling of our first AGI well. Despite the impact of Winter Storm Fern, the business is showing strong results with rising gas G&P volumes as well as crude gathering volumes reflecting the underlying strength of our system.”
