ENERGY TRANSFER PARTNERS LP HOUSTON, Nov. 4, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Sunoco LP (NYSE: SUN) ("SUN" or the "Partnership") today announced financial and operating results for the three months ended September 30, 2015.
Pro forma Adjusted EBITDA attributable to partners totaled $148.7 million, compared with Adjusted EBITDA attributable to partners of $14.0 million in the third quarter of 2014. Third quarter pro forma Adjusted EBITDA attributable to partners excludes July pre-acquisition earnings for Susser Holdings Corporation and transaction-related expenses.
Distributable cash flow attributable to partners, as adjusted, was $112.4 million, compared to $12.2 million a year earlier, and distributable cash flow per common unit was $1.77. The favorable year-over-year comparisons primarily reflect the contributions from the dropdown acquisitions of Susser Holdings Corporation ("Susser") in July 2015, a 31.58 percent interest in the wholesale fuel distribution business of Sunoco, LLC in April 2015 and the MACS convenience stores in October 2014 from SUN's affiliate, Energy Transfer Partners, L.P. (NYSE: ETP), along with the purchase of Aloha Petroleum in December 2014 and the Aziz Quick Stop stores in August.
On November 3, the Board of Directors of SUN's general partner declared a distribution for the third quarter of 2015 of $0.7454 per unit, which corresponds to $2.9816 per unit on an annualized basis. This represents a 7.5 percent increase compared to the distribution for the second quarter of 2015 and an approximate 37 percent increase compared with the third quarter of 2014. This is the Partnership's 10th consecutive quarterly distribution increase. The distribution will be paid on November 27 to unitholders of record on November 17. SUN achieved a 2.0 times distribution coverage ratio for the third quarter.
Revenue was $4.5 billion, up 243.9 percent compared to $1.3 billion in the third quarter of 2014. The increase was the result of the contribution of merchandise and retail fuel sales from the Susser, MACS and Aloha convenience stores, the wholesale fuel distribution sales from MACS, Aloha Petroleum and SUN's interest in Sunoco, LLC on a consolidated basis and higher rental income.
Total gross profit was $381.1 million, compared to $21.9 million in the third quarter of 2014. Key drivers of the increase were the contributions from the previously mentioned acquisitions, which resulted in higher-margin retail fuel gallons and merchandise being added to the overall sales mix.
Net income attributable to partners was $27.5 million, or $0.30 per diluted unit, versus $1.0 million, or $0.04 per diluted unit, in the third quarter of last year.
On a weighted average basis, excluding non-controlling interest, fuel margin for all gallons sold increased to 20.6 cents per gallon, compared to 3.8 cents per gallon a year ago. Sales of higher margin retail gallons by Susser, MACS and Aloha -- along with a change in the wholesale fuel customer mix related to the Sunoco, LLC, MACS and Aloha acquisitions -- drove most of the margin increase.
Adjusted EBITDA attributable to partners related to the wholesale segment was $76.4 million in the third quarter. Excluding the non-controlling interest, total wholesale gallons sold in the third quarter were 698.8 million, compared with 468.4 million in the third quarter of last year, an increase of 49.2 percent. This includes gallons sold to affiliate-operated convenience stores, consignment stores and third-party customers, including independent dealers, fuel distributors and commercial customers.
As a result of the Susser Holdings acquisition which converted legacy Susser wholesale affiliate volumes to retail volumes, motor fuel gallons sold to affiliates decreased to 90.4 million gallons during the third quarter of 2015. Affiliate customers for the quarter included Sunoco retail fuel and convenience store sites operated by a subsidiary of ETP and that currently remain at ETP.
Other third-party wholesale gallons increased from a year ago by 267.4 percent to 608.4 million gallons related to the acquisitions of MACS, Aloha and 31.58 percent of Sunoco LLC. Gross profit on these gallons was 15.2 cents per gallon, compared to 5.3 cents per gallon a year earlier, driven by the change in customer mix related to the acquisitions.
Adjusted EBITDA attributable to partners related to the retail segment, including both fuel and merchandise, was $95.3 million in the third quarter. Total retail gallons sold during the third quarter totaled 353.6 million gallons on which the Partnership earned 34.1 cents per gallon. Merchandise sales totaled $429.9 million and contributed $142.5 million of gross profit at a margin of approximately 33.2%.
Retail gallons sold by the newly acquired Susser locations during the third quarter totaled 300.6 million gallons. Gross profit on these gallons was $86.0 million. Merchandise sales from these locations totaled $368.6 million and contributed $127.3 million of gross profit. On a same store sales basis, the retail business in the Southwest recorded a 2.7 percent increase in merchandise sales and a 1.9 percent decline in fuel gallons for the quarter. Excluding markets that are directly impacted by lower oil and gas activity, SUN achieved a 4.7 percent increase in merchandise sales and a 0.1 percent increase in fuel gallons, on a same store basis. As of September 30, SUN operated 706 retail convenience stores and fuel outlets in Texas, Oklahoma and New Mexico.
The remaining retail business is comprised of locations from the MACS and Aloha acquisitions. On a same store sale basis, the MACS and Aloha retail business achieved 2.5 percent growth in fuel gallons and 15 percent on merchandise for the quarter. As of September 30, SUN operated 157 retail convenience stores and fuel outlets in Virginia, Hawaii, Tennessee, Maryland and Georgia.
SUN's other recent accomplishments include the following:
-- On July 31 SUN completed the acquisition of Susser Holdings Corporation
from affiliates of ETP in a transaction valued at approximately $1.93
billion. SUN paid approximately $967 million in cash and issued to ETP's
subsidiaries approximately 21.98 million Class B SUN Units valued at
$967 million. These units were converted to common units on August 19,
2015. The Susser acquisition was accounted for as a transaction between
entities under common control, which requires SUN to retrospectively
adjust its financial statements to include the balances and operations
of Susser from September 1, 2014, the date of common control.
-- In August, SUN completed the acquisition of 27 Aziz Quick Stop
convenience stores in South Texas and is in the process of rebranding
most of the stores to the Stripes convenience store brand. The
Partnership also expects to complete the previously announced
acquisition of a wholesale motor fuel distribution business serving the
Northeastern United States for $57 million, plus inventory value, in the
fourth quarter. This acquisition is expected to be immediately accretive
to SUN with respect to distributable cash flow and will be funded using
amounts available under SUN's revolving credit facility.
-- On July 20, in connection with the Susser acquisition, SUN issued $600
million of 5.5 percent senior notes due 2020 through an upsized private
offering that raised net proceeds of $592.5 million. The Partnership
also issued 5.5 million new common units in a public offering at a price
of $40.10 per unit. The offering was completed on July 21 and raised net
proceeds of $212.9 million.
-- As of September 30, SUN had outstanding borrowings under its $1.5
billion revolving credit facility of $875.0 million (and $11.8 million
in standby letters of credit) and its credit ratio, as defined by the
credit agreement, was 4.4 times.
SUN's gross capital expenditures for the third quarter excluding acquisitions totaled $94.5 million.

Key Operating Metrics
The following information is intended to provide investors with a reasonable basis for assessing our historical operations but should not serve as the only criteria for predicting our future performance.
Beginning with the acquisition of MACS, we began operating our business in two primary operating segments, wholesale and retail, both of which are included as reportable segments. As a result, the three month period ended September 30, 2014 includes retail operations for the month of September 2014, only.
On April 1, 2015 we acquired a 31.58% membership interest in Sunoco LLC. Because we have a controlling financial interest in Sunoco LLC as a result of our 50.1% voting interest, our consolidated financial statements include 100% of Sunoco LLC. The 68.42% membership interest in Sunoco LLC that we do not own is presented as noncontrolling interest in our consolidated financial statements.
The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, information concerning key measures we rely on to gauge our operating performance (in thousands, except for gross profit per gallon):

from July 1, 2014 through August 31, 2014, and the
Successor period from September 1, 2014 to
September 30, 2014. The impact from "push down"
accounting related to the ETP Merger resulted in a
$0.2 million increase in depreciation,
amortization and accretion expense.
(2) Reflects MACS and Sunoco LLC wholesale operations
and MACS and Susser retail operations, beginning
September 1, 2014.
(3) Reflects all wholesale transactions excluding those
pursuant to the Susser and Sunoco, Inc.
Distribution Contracts.
(4) Reflects transactions pursuant to the Susser
Distribution Contract for July 1, 2014 through
August 31, 2014 and the Sunoco, Inc. Distribution
Contract at set margins as dictated by the
agreements.
(5) Excludes impact of inventory fair value adjustments
consistent with our definition of Adjusted EBITDA.
(6) Excludes the noncontrolling interest results of
operations related to our consolidated variable
interest entities ("VIE"s and Sunoco LLC.
(7) We define EBITDA as net income before net interest
expense, income tax expense and depreciation,
amortization and accretion expense. Adjusted
EBITDA further adjusts EBITDA to reflect certain
other non-recurring and non-cash items.
Effective September 1, 2014, as a result of the
ETP Merger and in an effort to conform the method
by which we measure our business to that of ETP's
operations, we now define Adjusted EBITDA to also
include adjustments for unrealized gains and
losses on commodity derivatives and inventory fair
value adjustments. We define distributable cash
flow as Adjusted EBITDA less cash interest expense
including the accrual of interest expense related
to our 2020 and 2023 Senior Notes which is paid on
a semi-annual basis, current income tax expense,
maintenance capital expenditures, and other non-
cash adjustments. Further adjustments are made to
distributable cash flow for certain transaction-
related and non-recurring expenses that are
included in net income are excluded.
We believe EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and
distributable cash flow are useful to investors in
evaluating our operating performance because:
Adjusted EBITDA is used as a performance measure
under our revolving credit facility;
securities
analysts and other interested parties use such
metrics as measures of financial performance,
ability to make distributions to our unitholders
and debt service capabilities;
they are used by
our management for internal planning purposes,
including aspects of our consolidated operating
budget, and capital expenditures; and
distributable cash flow provides useful
information to investors as it is a widely
accepted financial indicator used by investors to
compare partnership performance, as it provides
investors an enhanced perspective of the operating
performance of our assets and the cash our
business is generating.
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow
are not recognized terms under GAAP and do not
purport to be alternatives to net income (loss) as
measures of operating performance or to cash flows
from operating activities as a measure of
liquidity. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and
distributable cash flow have limitations as
analytical tools, and one should not consider them
in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our
results as reported under GAAP. Some of these
limitations include:
they do not reflect our total cash expenditures, or
future requirements for capital expenditures or
contractual commitments;
they do not reflect
changes in, or cash requirements for, working
capital;
they do not reflect interest expense, or
the cash requirements necessary to service
interest or principal payments on our revolving
credit facility or term loan;
although
depreciation and amortization are non-cash
charges, the assets being depreciated and
amortized will often have to be replaced in the
future, and EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not
reflect cash requirements for such replacements;
and
because not all companies use identical
calculations, our presentation of EBITDA, Adjusted
EBITDA and distributable cash flow may not be
comparable to similarly titled measures of other
companies.
The following table presents a reconciliation of net income to EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2015 (in thousands):

Pro Forma Results of Operations
We have provided below certain supplemental pro forma information for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015. The pro forma information gives effect to the 68.42% noncontrolling interest in Sunoco LLC. Pursuant to our 31.58% membership interest in Sunoco LLC, the Sunoco LP pro forma information reflects only that equity interest in Sunoco LLC.
Management believes the pro forma presentation is useful to investors because it provides investors comparable operating data to support our Adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow attributable to partners.
