NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Tabular dollar amounts, except per unit data, are in millions)
(unaudited)
1.Organization and Principles of Consolidation
As used in this document, the terms “Partnership,” “we,” “us,” “our” or “SUN” should be understood to refer to Sunoco LP and its consolidated subsidiaries, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.
We are a Delaware master limited partnership. We are managed by our general partner, Sunoco GP LLC (our “General Partner”), which is owned by Energy Transfer LP (“Energy Transfer”). As of June 30, 2024, Energy Transfer owned 100% of the limited liability company interests in our General Partner, 28,463,967 of our common units and all of our incentive distribution rights (“IDRs”).
The consolidated financial statements include Sunoco LP, a publicly traded Delaware limited partnership, and its wholly owned subsidiaries. In the opinion of the Partnership’s management, such financial information reflects all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and the results of operations for such interim periods in accordance with GAAP. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The operations of certain pipelines and terminals in which we own an undivided interest are proportionately consolidated in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
Certain items have been reclassified for presentation purposes to conform to the accounting policies of the consolidated entity. These reclassifications had no material impact on operating income, net income and comprehensive income, the consolidated balance sheets or consolidated statements of cash flows.
2.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Interim Financial Statements
The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Pursuant to Regulation S-X, certain information and disclosures normally included in the annual consolidated financial statements have been condensed or omitted. The interim consolidated financial statements and notes included herein should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 16, 2024.
Significant Accounting Policies
The Partnership began implementing the significant accounting policies described below subsequent to the closing of the NuStar acquisition. Besides those described below, as of June 30, 2024, there have been no changes in the Partnership's significant accounting policies from those described in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 filed with the SEC on February 16, 2024.
Restricted Cash
As of June 30, 2024, we have restricted cash representing legally restricted funds that are unavailable for general use totaling $9 million which is included in “Other non-current assets” on the consolidated balance sheets.
Defined Benefit Plans
We estimate pension and other postretirement benefit obligations and costs based on actuarial valuations. The annual measurement date for our pension and other postretirement benefit plans is December 31. The actuarial valuations require the use of certain assumptions including discount rates, expected long-term rates of return on plan assets and expected rates of compensation increase. Changes in these assumptions are primarily influenced by factors outside our control.
Foreign Currency Translation
The functional currencies of our foreign subsidiaries are the local currencies of the countries in which the subsidiaries are located. The assets and liabilities of our foreign subsidiaries with local functional currencies are translated to U.S. dollars at period-end exchange rates, and income and expense items are translated to U.S. dollars at weighted-average exchange rates in effect during the period. These translation adjustments are included in accumulated other comprehensive income ("AOCI") in the equity section of the consolidated balance sheets. Upon the sale or liquidation of our investment in a foreign subsidiary, translation adjustments that have historically accumulated in AOCI related to that subsidiary are released from AOCI and reported as part of the gain or loss on sale. Gains and losses on foreign currency transactions are included in other income (expense), net in the consolidated statements of operations.
8
Motor Fuel and Sales Taxes
Certain motor fuel and sales taxes are collected from customers and remitted to governmental agencies either directly by the Partnership or through suppliers. The Partnership’s accounting policy for wholesale direct sales to dealers, distributors and commercial customers is to exclude the collected motor fuel tax from sales and cost of sales.
For retail locations where the Partnership holds inventory, including commission agent locations, motor fuel sales and motor fuel cost of sales include motor fuel taxes. Such amounts were $41 million and $71 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $100 million and $136 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Merchandise sales and cost of merchandise sales are reported net of sales tax in our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.
3.Acquisitions, Divestitures and Other Transactions
Acquisitions
NuStar
On May 3, 2024, we completed the previously announced acquisition of NuStar Energy L.P. (“NuStar”). Under the terms of the agreement, NuStar common unitholders received 0.400 SUN common units for each NuStar common unit. In connection with the acquisition, we issued approximately 51.5 million common units, which had a fair value of approximately $2.85 billion, assumed debt totaling approximately $3.5 billion including approximately $56 million of lease related financing obligations and assumed preferred units with a fair value of approximately $800 million. NuStar has approximately 9,500 miles of pipeline and 63 terminal and storage facilities that store and distribute crude oil, refined products, renewable fuels, ammonia and specialty liquids.
The acquisition was recorded using the acquisition method of accounting which requires, among other things, that assets and liabilities assumed be recognized on the balance sheet at their estimated fair values as of the date of acquisition, with any excess purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired recorded to goodwill. Management, with the assistance of a third party valuation specialist, determined the preliminary fair value of assets and liabilities as of the date of the acquisition. Determining the fair value involves the use of management's judgements as well as the use of significant estimates and assumptions. The following table summarizes the preliminary allocation of the purchase price among assets acquired and liabilities assumed:
As of
May 3, 2024

(1)Goodwill primarily represents expected commercial and operational synergies and is subject to change based on final purchase price allocations. None of the goodwill recorded as a result of this transaction is deductible for tax purposes. Goodwill of $16 million relates to the Fuel Distribution segment.
(2)Intangible assets, net comprised $151 million of favorable contracts, with a remaining weighted average life of approximately 7 years, and $44 million of customer relationships, with a remaining weighted average life of approximately 15 years.
9
(3)Subsequent to the closing of the NuStar acquisition, the Partnership redeemed all outstanding NuStar preferred units, totaling $784 million, redeemed NuStar's subordinated notes totaling $403 million and repaid and terminated the NuStar credit facility totaling $455 million.
Subsequent to the NuStar acquisition, the Partnership purchased a property previously leased by NuStar and cancelled the lease, resulting in an impairment of $50 million based on the value of comparable real property.
Pro Forma Results of Operations
The following unaudited pro forma consolidated results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 are presented as if the NuStar acquisition had been completed on January 1, 2023.

The pro forma information is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that would have occurred had the NuStar acquisition been made at the beginning of the periods presented or the future results of the combined operations.
NuStar's revenue and net income since the acquisition date to June 30, 2024 included in our consolidated statement of operations were $269.4 million and $14.5 million, respectively.
Expenses related to the NuStar Acquisition
As a result of the acquisition, we recognized $83 million of merger-related costs during the six months ended June 30, 2024.

Zenith European Terminals
On March 13, 2024, we completed the previously announced acquisition of liquid fuels terminals in Amsterdam, Netherlands and Bantry Bay, Ireland from Zenith Energy for €170 million ($185 million), including working capital. The acquisition was recorded using the acquisition method of accounting which requires, among other things, that assets and liabilities assumed be recognized on the balance sheet at their estimated fair values as of the date of acquisition. Management, with the assistance of a third party valuation specialist, determined the preliminary fair value of assets and liabilities as of the date of the acquisition. Determining the fair value involves the use of management's judgements as well as the use of significant estimates and assumptions.

West Texas Sale
On April 16, 2024, we completed the previously announced sale of 204 convenience stores located in West Texas, New Mexico and Oklahoma to 7-Eleven, Inc. for approximately $1.0 billion, including customary adjustments for fuel and merchandise inventory. As part of the sale, SUN also amended its existing take-or-pay fuel supply agreement with 7-Eleven, Inc. to incorporate additional fuel gross profit. Upon the completion of the sale, the Partnership recorded a $598 million gain ($461 million, net of current tax expense of $199 million and deferred tax benefit of $62 million).
Other Transactions
Permian Joint Venture
On July 16, 2024, SUN and Energy Transfer announced the formation of a joint venture combining their respective crude oil and produced water gathering assets in the Permian Basin. Pursuant to the Contribution Agreement by and among Sunoco LP, SUN Pipeline Holdings LLC, NuStar Permian Transportation and Storage LLC, NuStar Permian Crude Logistics LLC, NuStar Permian Holdings LLC, NuStar Logistics, L.P., ET-S Permian Holdings Company LP, ET-S Permian Pipeline Company LLC, ET-S Permian Marketing Company LLC, Energy Transfer LP, and Energy Transfer Crude Marketing, LLC dated July 14, 2024 in a cashless transaction, SUN contributed all of its Permian crude oil gathering assets and operations to the joint venture. Additionally, Energy Transfer contributed its Permian crude oil and produced water gathering assets and operations to the joint venture. Energy Transfer’s long-haul crude pipeline network that provides transportation of crude oil out of the Permian Basin to Nederland, Houston, and Cushing is excluded from the joint venture.
The joint venture operates more than 5,000 miles of crude oil and water gathering pipelines with crude oil storage capacity in excess of 11 million barrels.
SUN holds a 32.5% interest with Energy Transfer holding the remaining 67.5% interest in the joint venture.
The formation of the joint venture was effective on July 1, 2024.

Recent Transactions
April 2024 Notes Offering
On April 30, 2024, the Partnership issued $750 million of 7.000% Senior Notes due 2029 and $750 million of 7.250% Senior Notes due 2032 in a private offering. The Partnership used the net proceeds from the offering to (i) repay certain outstanding indebtedness of NuStar, in connection with the merger between the Partnership and NuStar, (ii) fund the redemption of NuStar's preferred units in connection with the merger and (iii) pay offering fees and expenses.
NuStar Acquisition
During the second quarter of 2024, subsequent to the closing of the NuStar acquisition, the Partnership redeemed NuStar's subordinated notes totaling $403 million and repaid and terminated NuStar's credit facility totaling $455 million.
NuStar Logistics Senior Notes. NuStar Logistics, L.P., a wholly owned subsidiary acquired in the NuStar acquisition, (NuStar Logistics”) is the issuer of $2.25 billion of senior notes, including 5.750% Senior Notes due 2025, 6.000% Senior Notes due 2026, 5.625% Senior Notes due 2027 and 6.375% Senior Notes due 2030 (collectively, the “NuStar Logistics Senior Notes”). Subsequent to the closing of the NuStar acquisition, the indentures related to the Partnership’s senior notes and the indentures related to NuStar Logistics’ senior notes were amended to add certain subsidiaries as guarantors. Consequently, Sunoco LP and NuStar Logistics are each a guarantor of the other’s senior notes, along with other subsidiary guarantors of each.
The NuStar Logistics Senior Notes do not have sinking fund requirements. These notes rank equally with existing senior unsecured indebtedness and senior to existing subordinated indebtedness of NuStar Logistics and contain restrictions on NuStar Logistics’ ability to incur secured indebtedness unless the same security is also provided for the benefit of holders of the NuStar Logistics Senior Notes. In addition, the NuStar Logistics Senior Notes limit the ability of NuStar Logistics and its subsidiaries to, among other things, incur indebtedness secured by certain liens, engage in certain sale-leaseback transactions and engage in certain consolidations, mergers or asset sales. At the option of NuStar Logistics, the NuStar Logistics Senior Notes may be redeemed in whole or in part at any time at a redemption price, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date. If we undergo a change of control that is followed by a ratings decline that occurs within 60 days of the change of control, each holder of the applicable senior notes may require us to repurchase all or a portion of its notes at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the notes repurchased, plus any accrued and unpaid interest to the date of repurchase.

NuStar Logistics’ agreements with the Parish of St. James related to the GoZone Bonds contain: (i) customary restrictive covenants that limit the ability of NuStar Logistics and its subsidiaries to, among other things, create liens, enter into certain sale leaseback transactions, and engage in certain consolidations, mergers or asset sales; and (ii) a repurchase provision which provides that if we undergo a change of control that is followed by a ratings decline that occurs within 60 days of the change of control, then each holder may require the trustee, with funds provided by NuStar Logistics, to repurchase all or a portion of that holder’s GoZone Bonds at a price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount repurchased, plus any accrued and unpaid interest.
Credit Facilities
The Partnership's $1.50 billion revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) matures in May 2029 (as amended in May 2024), which date may be extended in accordance with the terms of the Credit Facility. The Credit Facility can be increased from time to time upon our written request, subject to certain conditions, up to an additional $500 million. As of June 30, 2024, the balance on the Credit Facility was $85 million, and $15 million standby letters of credit were outstanding. The unused availability on the Credit Facility at June 30, 2024 was $1.40 billion. The weighted average interest rate on the total amount outstanding at June 30, 2024 was 7.43%. The Partnership was in compliance with all financial covenants at June 30, 2024.
Upon the closing of the NuStar acquisition, the commitments under NuStar’s receivables financing agreement were reduced to zero during a suspension period, for which the period end has not been determined. As of June 30, 2024, this facility had no outstanding borrowings.
Fair Value of Debt
The aggregate estimated fair value and carrying amount of our consolidated debt obligations as of June 30, 2024 were $7.35 billion and $7.38 billion, respectively. As of December 31, 2023, the aggregate fair value and carrying amount of our consolidated debt obligations were $3.50 billion and $3.58 billion, respectively. The fair value of our consolidated debt obligations is a Level 2 valuation based on the respective debt obligations' observable inputs for similar liabilities.

10.Revenue
Disaggregation of Revenue
Subsequent to our acquisition of NuStar, the Partnership's consolidated financial statements reflect three reportable segments: Fuel Distribution, Pipeline Systems and Terminals.
Revenues from our Fuel Distribution segment are derived from the sale of fuel, non-fuel and lease income. Fuel sales consist primarily of the sale of motor fuel under supply agreements with third-party customers and affiliates. Fuel supply contracts with our customers generally provide that we distribute motor fuel at a price based on a formula which includes published rates, volume-based profit margin and other terms specific to the agreement. The customer is invoiced the agreed-upon price with most payment terms ranging less than 30 days. If the consideration promised in a contract includes a variable amount, the Partnership estimates the variable consideration amount and factors in such estimate to determine the transaction price under the expected value method. Revenue is recognized under the motor fuel contracts at the point in time the customer takes control of the fuel. At the time control is transferred to the customer the sale is considered final, because the agreements do not grant customers the right to return motor fuel. To determine when control transfers to the customer, the shipping terms of the contract are assessed as a primary indicator of the transfer of control. For FOB shipping point terms, revenue is recognized at the time of shipment. The performance obligation with respect to the sale of goods is satisfied at the time of shipment since the customer gains control at this time under the terms. Shipping and/or handling costs that occur before the customer obtains control of the goods are deemed to be fulfillment activities and are accounted for as fulfillment costs. Once the goods are shipped, the Partnership is precluded from redirecting the shipment to another customer and revenue is recognized. Non-fuel revenue includes merchandise revenue that comprises the in-store merchandise and food service sales at company-operated retail stores and other revenue such as credit card processing, car washes, lottery and other services. Lease revenue is derived from leasing arrangements for which we are the lessor and recognized ratably over the term of the underlying lease.
Revenues from our Pipeline Systems segment are derived from interstate and intrastate pipeline transportation of refined products, crude oil and anhydrous ammonia and the applicable pipeline tariff on a per barrel basis for crude oil or refined products and on a per ton basis for ammonia.
Revenues from our Terminals segment include fees for tank storage agreements, under which a customer agrees to pay for a certain amount of storage in a tank over a period of time (storage terminal revenues) and throughput agreements, under which a customer pays a fee per barrel for volumes moving through our terminals (throughput terminal revenues). Our terminals also provide blending, additive injections, handling and filtering services for which we charge additional fees.

Our contractually committed revenue, for purposes of the tabular presentation above, is generally limited to customer contracts that have fixed pricing and fixed volume terms and conditions, including contracts with payment obligations for minimum volume commitments.
Costs to Obtain or Fulfill a Contract
The Partnership recognized amortization on capitalized costs incurred to obtain contracts of $9 million and $7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $17 million and $13 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
11.Commitments and Contingencies
Litigation
From time to time, the Partnership is involved in various legal proceedings and claims arising out of our operations in the normal course of business. Such proceedings are subject to the uncertainties inherent in any litigation, and we regularly assess the need for accounting recognition or disclosure of any related contingencies. We maintain liability insurance with insurers with coverage and deductibles management believes are reasonable and prudent. However, there can be no assurance that the levels of insurance protection currently in effect will continue to be available at reasonable prices or that such levels will be adequate to protect us from material expenses related to product liability, personal injury or property damage in the future. Based on currently available information, we believe it is unlikely that the outcome of known matters would have a material adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
New York Motor Fuel Excise Tax Audits
Sunoco LLC and Sunoco Retail LLC are currently under motor fuel excise tax audits in the state of New York for the periods of March 2017 through May 2020. These audits are currently ongoing and no assessments have been made. We cannot predict the outcome of these audits; however, to the extent material assessments may be issued, we would expect to use all appropriate administrative and legal measures to defend our positions.
12.Income Tax Expense
As a partnership, we are generally not subject to federal income tax and most state income taxes. However, the Partnership conducts certain activities through corporate subsidiaries which are subject to federal and state income taxes.
Our effective tax rate differs from the statutory rate primarily due to Partnership earnings that are not subject to U.S. federal and most state income taxes at the Partnership level. A reconciliation of income tax expense from continuing operations at the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% to net income tax expense is as follows:

14.Segment Reporting
Change in Segments
Subsequent to the acquisition of NuStar, management reevaluated the Partnership’s internal reporting, which resulted in changes to the Partnership’s reportable segments. The Partnership’s consolidated financial information now includes three reportable segments: Fuel Distribution, Pipeline Systems and Terminals. The Partnership previously reported reportable segments for Fuel Distribution and Marketing and All Other. The operations within those prior reportable segments have now been reallocated among the new reportable segments, and prior periods have been adjusted accordingly to reflect the current segment presentation. In addition, certain operations within NuStar’s prior standalone reporting have been reallocated based on the post-acquisition internal reporting and management structure; therefore, segment operating results reported herein are not comparable to those previously reported by NuStar in its standalone pre-acquisition financial statements.
Description of Segments
Fuel Distribution. Our Fuel Distribution segment supplies motor fuel to independently-operated dealer stations, distributors, commission agents and other consumers. Also included in our Fuel Distribution segment is lease income from properties that we lease or sublease, as well as the Partnership’s credit card services, franchise royalties and retail operations in Hawaii and New Jersey.
Pipeline Systems. Our Pipeline Systems segment includes the operations of our refined products, crude oil and anhydrous ammonia pipelines, as well as other assets that are operated and managed on an integrated basis with our pipeline systems, including certain terminal and storage assets.
Terminals. Our Terminals segment is composed of our facilities (other than those integrated into the Pipeline Systems segment) that provide storage, handling and other services on a fee basis for refined products, crude oil, specialty chemicals, renewable fuels and other liquids. The segment also includes the operations of our transmix processing facilities.
Segment Operating Results
We report Adjusted EBITDA by segment as a measure of segment performance. We define Adjusted EBITDA as earnings before net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, amortization and accretion expense, non-cash unit-based compensation expense, gains and losses on disposal of assets, non-cash impairment charges, losses on extinguishment of debt, unrealized gains and losses on commodity derivatives, inventory valuation adjustments, and certain other operating expenses reflected in net income that we do not believe are indicative of ongoing core operations. Inventory valuation adjustments that are excluded from the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA represent changes in lower of cost or market reserves on the Partnership's inventory. These amounts are unrealized valuation adjustments applied to fuel volumes remaining in inventory at the end of the period.

(Tabular dollar amounts, except per gallon data, are in millions)
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes to consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report. Additional discussion and analysis related to the Partnership is contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, including the audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 included therein.
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure of performance that has limitations and should not be considered as a substitute for net income or other GAAP measures. Please see “Key Measures Used to Evaluate and Assess Our Business” below for a discussion of our use of Adjusted EBITDA in this “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and a reconciliation to net income for the periods presented.

Key Measures Used to Evaluate and Assess Our Business
Management uses a variety of financial measurements to analyze business performance, including the following key measures:
•Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA, as used throughout this document, is defined as earnings before net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, amortization and accretion expense, non-cash unit-based compensation expense, gains and losses on disposal of assets, non-cash impairment charges, losses on extinguishment of debt, unrealized gains and losses on commodity derivatives, inventory valuation adjustments, and certain other operating expenses reflected in net income that we do not believe are indicative of ongoing core operations. Inventory valuation adjustments that are excluded from the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA represent changes in lower of cost or market reserves on the Partnership's inventory. These amounts are unrealized valuation adjustments applied to fuel volumes remaining in inventory at the end of the period.
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. For a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income, which is the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, read “Key Operating Metrics and Results of Operations” below.
We believe Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors in evaluating our operating performance because:
•Adjusted EBITDA is used as a performance measure under our Credit Facility;
•securities analysts and other interested parties use Adjusted EBITDA as a measure of financial performance; and
•our management uses Adjusted EBITDA for internal planning purposes, including aspects of our consolidated operating budget and capital expenditures.
Adjusted EBITDA is not a recognized term under GAAP and does not purport to be an alternative to net income as a measure of operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and one should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations include:
•it does not reflect interest expense or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our Credit Facility or senior notes;
•although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect cash requirements for such replacements; and
•as not all companies use identical calculations, our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.
Adjusted EBITDA reflects amounts for the unconsolidated affiliates based on the same recognition and measurement methods used to record equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates. Adjusted EBITDA related to unconsolidated affiliates excludes the same items with respect to the unconsolidated affiliates as those excluded from the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA, such as interest, taxes, depreciation, depletion, amortization and other non-cash items. Although these amounts are excluded from Adjusted EBITDA related to unconsolidated affiliates, such exclusion should not be understood to imply that we have control over the operations and resulting revenues and expenses of such affiliates. We do not control our unconsolidated affiliates; therefore, we do not control the earnings or cash flows of such affiliates. The use of Adjusted EBITDA or Adjusted EBITDA related to unconsolidated affiliates as an analytical tool should be limited accordingly.

Net Income. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same periods last year, net income increased primarily due to a $598 million gain on the West Texas Sale in April 2024, as discussed below. In addition, the increase in net income reflected increases of $9 million and $107 million, respectively, in operating income, driven by results from our reportable segments, partially offset by increases in depreciation, amortization and accretion, as well as losses on disposal of asset and impairment charges. The increases in net income were also offset by increases in interest expense and income tax expense. These changes are discussed in more detail below.
Adjusted EBITDA (consolidated). For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same periods last year, Adjusted EBITDA increased primarily due to increases in profit of $251 million and $360 million, respectively, primarily related to the acquisitions of NuStar and Zenith European terminals, partially offset by increases in operating costs (including operating expenses, general and administrative expenses and lease expense) of $148 million and $163 million, respectively, primarily related to the acquisitions of NuStar and Zenith European terminals.
Additional discussion on the changes impacting net income and comprehensive income and Adjusted EBITDA for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same periods last year is available below and in “Segment Operating Results.”
Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same periods last year, depreciation, depletion and amortization increased primarily due to additional depreciation and amortization from assets recently placed in service and from recent acquisitions.
Interest Expense, net. For the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period last year, interest expense increased primarily due to an increase in average total long-term debt.
24
Loss (Gain) on Disposal of Assets and Impairment Charges. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same periods last year, loss on disposal of assets and impairment charges primarily relates to the termination of a lease in June 2024.
Unrealized (Gains) Losses on Commodity Derivatives. The unrealized gains and losses on our commodity derivatives represent the changes in fair value of our commodity derivatives. The change in unrealized gains and losses between periods is impacted by the notional amounts and commodity price changes on our commodity derivatives. Additional information on commodity derivatives is included in “Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” below.
Inventory Valuation Adjustments. Inventory valuation adjustments represent changes in lower of cost or market reserves using the last-in, first-out method on the Partnership’s inventory. These amounts are unrealized valuation adjustments applied to fuel volumes remaining in inventory at the end of the period. For the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Partnership's cost of sales included unfavorable inventory valuation adjustments of $32 million and $57 million, respectively, which decreased net income. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Partnership's cost of sales included favorable inventory valuation adjustments of $98 million, which increased net income; and for the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Partnership's cost of sales included unfavorable inventory adjustments of $28 million, which decreased net income.
Gain on West Texas Sale. The gain on West Texas Sale relates to the gain recognized by SUN upon completion of the sale of convenience stores to 7-Eleven Inc. in April 2024.
Income Tax Expense. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same periods last year, income tax expense increased primarily due to the taxable gain recognized by a corporate subsidiary on the West Texas Sale.
Segment Operating Results
We evaluate segment performance based on Segment Adjusted EBITDA, which we believe is an important performance measure of the core profitability of our operations. This measure represents the basis of our internal financial reporting and is one of the performance measures used by senior management in deciding how to allocate capital resources among business segments.
