Energy Transfer Announces Increase in Quarterly Cash Distribution

Distribution Represents More Than 70 Percent Increase Compared to Prior Year

DALLAS–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Energy Transfer LP (NYSE: ET) today announced a quarterly cash distribution of $0.265 per Energy Transfer common unit ($1.06 on an annualized basis) for the third quarter ended September 30, 2022, which will be paid on November 21, 2022 to unitholders of record as of the close of business on November 4, 2022.

The distribution per unit is more than a 70 percent increase over the third quarter of 2021 and is a 15 percent increase over the second quarter of 2022. This distribution increase represents another step in Energy Transfer’s plan to return additional value to unitholders while maintaining its target leverage ratio of 4.0x-4.5x debt-to-EBITDA. Future increases to the distribution level will be evaluated quarterly with the ultimate goal of returning distributions to the previous level of $0.305 per quarter, or $1.22 on an annual basis, while balancing the partnership’s leverage target, growth opportunities and unit buy-backs.
