HOUSTON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Enterprise Products Partners L.P. (“Enterprise”) (NYSE: EPD) today announced its financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2025.


Enterprise reported net income attributable to common unitholders of $1.4 billion, or $0.64 per common unit on a fully diluted basis, for the first quarter of 2025, compared to $1.5 billion, or $0.66 per common unit on a fully diluted basis, for the first quarter of 2024.

Distributable Cash Flow (“DCF”) was $2.0 billion for the first quarter of 2025, a 5 percent increase compared to $1.9 billion for the first quarter of 2024. Distributions declared with respect to the first quarter of 2025 increased 3.9 percent to $0.535 per common unit, or $2.14 per common unit annualized, compared to distributions declared for the first quarter of 2024. DCF provided 1.7 times coverage of the distribution declared for the first quarter of this year, and Enterprise retained $842 million of DCF.

Enterprise repurchased approximately $60 million of its common units on the open market in the first quarter of 2025. Including these purchases, the partnership has utilized approximately 60 percent of its authorized $2.0 billion common unit buyback program.

Adjusted cash flow from operations (“Adjusted CFFO”) was $2.1 billion for both the first quarter of 2025 and 2024. Adjusted CFFO was $8.6 billion for the twelve months ended March 31, 2025. Enterprise’s payout ratio, comprised of distributions to common unitholders and partnership common unit buybacks, for the twelve months ended March 31, 2025, was 56 percent of Adjusted CFFO.

As used in this press release, “NGL” means natural gas liquids, “LPG” means liquefied petroleum gas, “BPD” means barrels per day, “MBPD” means thousand barrels per day, “MMcf/d” means million cubic feet per day, “Bcf/d” means billion cubic feet per day, “BBtus/d” means billion British thermal units per day and “TBtus/d” means trillion British thermal units per day.

“During the first quarter of 2025, Enterprise continued to benefit from Permian driven volume growth and consistent domestic and international energy demand pull across our midstream infrastructure system,” said A. J. “Jim” Teague, co-chief executive officer of Enterprise’s general partner. “We reported record inlet natural gas processing volumes of 7.7 billion cubic feet per day and record natural gas pipeline volumes of 20.3 trillion Btus per day. Gross operating margin growth in our NGL Pipeline & Services segment and Natural Gas Pipeline & Services segment substantially offset lower earnings in our Petrochemical & Refined Products Services segment due to lower margins and deficiency revenues in our octane enhancement related businesses and lower gross operating margin in our propylene business.”

“Distributable cash flow for the first quarter of 2025 increased to $2.0 billion, a 5 percent increase compared to the same quarter in 2024,” said Teague. “Enterprise increased its cash distribution to partners with respect to the first quarter by 3.9 percent to $0.535 per unit compared to the first quarter of 2024. Distributable cash flow for the quarter provided 1.7 times coverage of this distribution that is scheduled to be paid on May 14, 2025 and enabled the partnership to retain $842 million to reinvest in the growth of the partnership.”

“We have $6 billion of major organic growth projects scheduled to be completed and begin generating cash flow in 2025. These include two natural gas processing plants in the Permian Basin in the third quarter, Mont Belvieu area NGL fractionator 14 in the third quarter, the first phase of our NGL export facility on the Neches River in the third quarter, our Bahia NGL pipeline in the fourth quarter, and enhancements at our Morgan’s Point marine terminal on the Houston Ship Channel in the fourth quarter,” said Teague.

  • Gross operating margin from Morgan’s Point Ethane Export Terminal increased $19 million primarily due to a 68 MBPD increase in export volumes.
  • Gross operating margin from the Dixie Pipeline and related terminals increased $16 million primarily due to higher loading, transportation, and other revenues. Dixie Pipeline volumes increased 27 MBPD.
  • Eastern ethane pipelines, which include the ATEX and Aegis pipelines, reported a $12 million increase in gross operating margin largely due to higher transportation revenues. Eastern ethane pipeline volumes decreased 25 MBPD.
  • The South Texas NGL Pipeline System reported a $9 million increase in gross operating margin primarily due to higher transportation-related revenues and lower operating costs. South Texas NGL Pipeline System volumes increased 12 MBPD.

Gross operating margin from the NGL fractionation business was $214 million for the first quarter of 2025 compared to $233 million for the first quarter of 2024. Total NGL fractionation volumes increased 10 MBPD to 1.7 million BPD for the first quarter of 2025 from 1.6 million BPD for the corresponding quarter in 2024. The following highlights summarize selected variances within this business, with results for the first quarter of 2025 as compared to the first quarter of 2024:

  • Gross operating margin from our Mont Belvieu area NGL fractionation complex decreased $15 million primarily due to higher operating costs and lower ancillary service revenues. Mont Belvieu area NGL fractionation volumes increased 10 MBPD.

Total marine terminal volumes were 311 MBPD in the first quarter of 2025 compared to 350 MBPD for the first quarter of 2024. The following highlights summarize selected variances within this segment, with results for the first quarter of 2025 as compared to the first quarter of 2024:

  • Gross operating margin from the refined products pipelines and related activities increased $33 million primarily due to higher transportation volumes and revenues, including a $13 million contribution from the TW Products System that was commissioned in phases beginning in March 2024 through October 2024.
  • Gross operating margin from our octane enhancement and related plant operations decreased $83 million primarily due to lower average sales margins and lower deficiency revenues.
  • Propylene production and related activities reported a $52 million decrease in gross operating margin driven by lower average propylene sales margins as a result of lower Refinery Grade Propylene to Polymer Grade Propylene spreads. Additionally, the majority of our legacy margin-based contracts at our propylene splitters, which contained exposure to this spread and represented approximately 20 percent of total propylene production volumes in the first quarter of 2024, were converted to fee-based processing agreements by the end of the first quarter of 2025. The partnership’s propane dehydrogenation facility known as “PDH 1” was down for approximately 63 days during the first quarter of 2025 for maintenance, compared to 52 days in the same quarter last year. Total propylene and associated by-product production volumes increased 7 MBPD to 113 MBPD, net to our interest.
  • Gross operating margin from our ethylene exports and related activities decreased $28 million primarily due to lower deficiency revenues on our ethylene pipelines and a 25 MBPD decrease in ethylene export volumes.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release and accompanying schedules include the non-GAAP financial measures of total gross operating margin, Adjusted CFFO, FCF, Adjusted FCF, DCF, Operational DCF and Adjusted EBITDA. The accompanying schedules provide definitions of these non-GAAP financial measures and reconciliations to their most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.
