• Fourth quarter 2025 results exceeded expectations, with net income attributable to unitholders of $19.9 million, reversing a prior year loss, and Adjusted EBITDA reaching $157.8 million for Q4 and $544.3 million for the year, driven by strong offshore pipeline growth and normalized marine transportation.

• Offshore segment ramped up, with Shenandoah volumes exceeding commitments and Salamanca ramping toward targets, while onshore and marine transportation segments also contributed to growth.

• Management remains focused on long-term value creation, leveraging a differentiated asset footprint and deep customer relationships in the Gulf Coast region.

Outlook and guidance

• Management expects Adjusted EBITDA growth of 15–20% in 2026 over normalized 2025 levels of $500M–$510M, driven by continued offshore Gulf of America activity and new wells at Salamanca and Shenandoah.

• No significant growth capital expenditures are planned for 2026; focus remains on debt reduction and opportunistic preferred unit redemptions.

• Management expects to exceed the top end of guidance if producer schedules hold, with 2027 projected to be even stronger.

• Board will continue to evaluate future distribution growth as Adjusted EBITDA increases and cash obligations decrease.
