Delek Logistics Partners, LP reported first‑quarter 2026 results that included a $297.5 million revenue figure, beating consensus estimates that ranged from $242.45 million to $244.1 million. Earnings per share came in at $0.60, falling short of the $0.78–$0.95 consensus range, and adjusted EBITDA rose to $132.3 million from $123.2 million in Q1 2025.
Revenue growth was driven by a ramp‑up in the Delaware crude and water gathering businesses, which added to the company’s core midstream mix. The company’s gathering and processing segment saw a notable increase in throughput, while the wholesale marketing and terminalling segment maintained steady volumes. The mix shift toward higher‑margin gathering operations helped offset pressure in other areas.
The EPS miss was largely attributable to higher operating expenses, a rise in interest expense, and increased depreciation and amortization. Management also highlighted the impact of Winter Storm Fern, which disrupted operations and added to cost inflation. No one‑time asset revaluation charge was recorded, contrary to the original article’s claim.
Delek reiterated its full‑year 2026 adjusted EBITDA guidance of $520 million to $560 million, unchanged from the prior quarter. The guidance reflects confidence that the company can sustain its growth trajectory while managing the headwinds from the recent storm and cost pressures. President and Chairman Avigal Soreq emphasized that the company remains on track to meet its long‑term targets.
Investors reacted positively to the results, noting the revenue beat and the firm’s reaffirmation of its guidance. The company also announced its 53rd consecutive quarterly distribution increase, raising the payout to $1.13 per unit, which reinforces its commitment to shareholder returns.
The earnings miss underscores the challenges posed by weather‑related disruptions and rising financing costs, but the revenue growth and steady guidance suggest that Delek Logistics is maintaining a solid operational foundation as it expands its midstream footprint and advances its sour gas solutions.
