Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). Statements included in this quarterly report that are not historical facts (including any statements concerning plans and objectives of management for future operations or economic performance, or assumptions or forecasts related thereto), including, without limitation, the information set forth in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, are forward-looking statements. These statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology including "forecast," "may," "believe," "will," "expect," "anticipate," "estimate," "continue," or other similar words. These statements discuss future expectations, contain projections of results of operations or of financial condition or state other "forward-looking" information. We and our representatives may from time to time make other oral or written statements that are also forward-looking statements.
These forward-looking statements are made based upon management’s current plans, expectations, estimates, assumptions and beliefs concerning future events impacting us and therefore involve a number of risks and uncertainties. We caution that forward-looking statements are not guarantees and that actual results could differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements.
Because these forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, actual results could differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements for a number of important reasons, including those discussed under "Item 1A. Risk Factors" of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on February 24, 2025, and as may be updated and supplemented from time to time in our future Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K.

MARTIN MIDSTREAM PARTNERS L.P.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED AND CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollars in thousands, except where otherwise indicated)
September 30, 2025
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1.
NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Martin Midstream Partners L.P. (the "Partnership") is a publicly traded limited partnership with a diverse set of operations focused primarily in the Gulf Coast region of the United States ("U.S."). Its
four
primary business lines include: terminalling, processing, and storage services for petroleum products and by-products; land and marine transportation services for petroleum products and by-products, chemicals, and specialty products; sulfur and sulfur-based products processing, manufacturing, marketing and distribution; and marketing, distribution, and transportation services for natural gas liquids ("NGL") and blending and packaging services for specialty lubricants and grease.
The Partnership’s unaudited consolidated and condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of Form 10-Q and U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, these financial statements have been condensed and do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for annual audited financial statements of the type contained in the Partnership’s annual reports on Form 10-K. In the opinion of the management of Martin Midstream GP LLC ("MMGP" or the “general partner"), the Partnership’s general partner, all adjustments and elimination of significant intercompany balances necessary for a fair presentation of the Partnership’s financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods shown have been made. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Results for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the full year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Partnership’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Partnership’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the SEC on February 24, 2025.
Management has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities to prepare these consolidated and condensed financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
NOTE 2.
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures ("ASU 2023-07"). ASU 2023-07 requires annual and interim disclosures that are expected to improve reportable segment disclosures, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The provisions of ASU 2023-07 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Partnership adopted ASU 2023-07 and its expanded segment disclosure requirements in compliance with the required adoption guidelines.
In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2023-09, “Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” ("ASU 2023-09"), which requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation as well as additional information on income taxes paid. The provisions of ASU 2023-09 are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted and can be applied on either a prospective or retroactive basis. Once adopted, the Partnership will include the additional disclosure required by ASU 2023-09 in its condensed consolidated financial statements.

Revenue is measured based on a consideration specified in a contract with a customer and excludes amounts collected on behalf of third parties where the Partnership is acting as an agent. The Partnership recognizes revenue when the Partnership satisfies a performance obligation, which typically occurs when the Partnership transfers control over a product to a customer or as the Partnership delivers a service.
The following is a description of the principal activities - separated by reportable segments - from which the Partnership generates revenue.
Terminalling and Storage Segment
Revenue is recognized for storage contracts based on the contracted monthly tank fixed fee. For throughput contracts, revenue is recognized based on the volume moved through the Partnership’s terminals at the contracted rate. For storage and throughput contracts at the Partnership's underground NGL storage facility, revenue is recognized based on the volume stored and moved through the facility at the contracted rate. For the Partnership’s tolling agreement, revenue is recognized based on the contracted monthly reservation fee and throughput volumes moved through the facility. Throughput and storage revenue in the table above includes non-cancelable revenue arrangements that are under the scope of ASC 842, whereby the Partnership has committed certain Terminalling and Storage assets in exchange for a minimum fee.
Transportation Segment
Revenue related to land transportation is recognized for line hauls based on a mileage rate. For contracted trips, revenue is recognized upon completion of the particular trip. The performance of the service is invoiced as the transaction occurs and is generally paid within a month.

(Unaudited)
Revenue related to marine transportation is recognized for time charters based on a per day rate. For contracted trips, revenue is recognized upon completion of the particular trip. The performance of the service is invoiced as the transaction occurs and is generally paid within a month.
Sulfur Services Segment
Revenue from sulfur and fertilizer product sales is recognized when the customer takes title to the product. Delivery of the product is invoiced as the transaction occurs and is generally paid within a month. Revenue from sulfur services is recognized as services are performed during each monthly period. The performance of the service is invoiced as the transaction occurs and is generally paid within a month.
Specialty Products Segment
NGL revenue is recognized when title is transferred, which is generally when the product is delivered by truck, rail, or pipeline to the Partnership's NGL customers or when the customer picks up the product from our facilities. When lubricants are sold by truck or rail, revenue is recognized when title is transferred, which is generally when the product leaves the Partnership's facility, but can vary based on the specific terms of the contract. The product is invoiced as the transaction occurs and is generally paid within a month.
The table below includes estimated minimum revenue expected to be recognized in the future related to performance obligations that are unsatisfied at the end of the reporting period. The Partnership applies the practical expedient in ASC 606-10-50-14(a) and does not disclose information about remaining performance obligations that have original expected durations of one year or less.

The interest rate fluctuates based on Adjusted Term SOFR (set on the date of each advance) or the alternate base rate plus an applicable margin. The margin is set every three months. All amounts outstanding at September 30, 2025 were at Adjusted Term SOFR plus an applicable margin of
3.50
%. The applicable margin for revolving loans that are SOFR loans ranges from
2.75
% to

The Partnership was in compliance with all debt covenants as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
On September 24, 2025, Martin Operating Partnership L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Partnership, the Partnership and certain of the Partnership’s other subsidiaries entered into a Second Amendment to Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Second Amendment”) with Royal Bank of Canada, as administrative agent and collateral agent, and the lenders party thereto, which amends the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated effective as of February 8, 2023 (as previously amended, the “Credit Agreement”).
The Partnership entered into the Second Amendment to the Credit Agreement to, among other things:
•
extend the maturity date of amounts outstanding and the lenders’ commitments under the Credit Agreement from February 8, 2027 to November 16, 2027;
•
decrease the amount available for the Partnership to borrow under the Credit Agreement on a revolving credit basis from $
150,000
to $
130,000
; and
•
adjust the financial covenants as described in more detail below:
◦
require the Partnership to maintain a minimum Interest Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of at least
1.75
to 1.00 for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2025 and each fiscal quarter thereafter;
◦
require the Partnership to maintain a maximum Total Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of not more than
4.50
to 1.00 for the fiscal quarters ended March 31, 2025 and June 30, 2025, and stepping up to
4.75
to 1.00 for the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2025 and each fiscal quarter thereafter; and
◦
require the Partnership to maintain a maximum First Lien Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of not more than
1.25
to 1.00 for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2025 and each fiscal quarter thereafter.
We are in compliance with all debt covenants as of September 30, 2025, and expect to be in compliance for the next twelve months.

LEASES
The Partnership has numerous operating leases primarily for terminal facilities and transportation and other equipment. The leases generally provide that all expenses related to the facilities and equipment are to be paid by the lessee.
Operating lease Right-of-Use assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. Because most of the Partnership's leases do not provide an implicit rate of return, the Partnership uses its imputed collateralized rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The estimated rate is based on a risk-free rate plus a risk-adjusted margin.
Our leases have remaining lease terms of
1
year to
11
years, some of which include options to extend the leases for up to
5
years, and some of which include options to terminate the leases within
1
year. The Partnership includes extension periods in its lease term if, at commencement, it is reasonably likely that the Par
tnership will exercise the extension options.

PARTNERS' CAPITAL (DEFICIT)
As of September 30, 2025, Partners’ capital (deficit) consisted of
39,055,086
common limited partner units, representing a
98
% partnership interest, and a
2
% general partner interest. Martin Resource Management Corporation, through subsidiaries, owned
7,662,005
of the Partnership's common limited partner units representing approximately
19.6
% of the Partnership's outstanding common limited partner units. MMGP, the Partnership's general partner, owns the
2
% general partnership interest.
The partnership agreement of the Partnership (the "Partnership Agreement") contains specific provisions for the allocation of net income and losses to each of the partners for purposes of maintaining their respective partner capital accounts.
Impact on Partners' Capital (Deficit) Related to Transactions Between Entities Under Common Control
Under ASC 805, assets and liabilities transferred between entities under common control are accounted for at the historical cost of those entities' ultimate parent, in a manner similar to a pooling of interests. Any difference in the amount paid by the transferee versus the historical cost of the assets transferred is recorded as an adjustment to equity (contribution or distribution) by the transferee. This is in contrast with a business combination between unrelated parties, where assets and liabilities are recorded at their fair values at the acquisition date, with any excess of amounts paid over the fair value representing goodwill. From time to time, the most recent being in 2019, the Partnership has entered into common control acquisitions from Martin Resource Management Corporation. The consideration transferred totaling $
552,058
exceeds the historical cost of the net assets received. This excess of the purchase price over the historical cost of the net assets received has resulted in cumulative deemed distributions of $
289,019
reflected as reductions to Partners' capital.
Distributions of Available Cash
The Partnership distributes all of its available cash (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) within
45
days after the end of each quarter to unitholders of record and to the general partner. Available cash is generally defined as all cash and cash equivalents of the Partnership on hand at the end of each quarter less the amount of cash reserves its general partner determines in its reasonable discretion is necessary or appropriate to: (i) provide for the proper conduct of the Partnership’s business; (ii) comply with applicable law, any debt instruments or other agreements; or (iii) provide funds for distributions to unitholders and the general partner for any one or more of the next four quarters, plus all cash on the date of determination of available cash for the quarter resulting from working capital borrowings made after the end of the quarter.
Net Income per Unit
The Partnership follows the provisions of the FASB ASC 260-10 related to earnings per share, which addresses the application of the two-class method in determining income per unit for master limited partnerships having multiple classes of securities that may participate in partnership distributions accounted for as equity distributions. Undistributed earnings are allocated to the general partner and limited partners utilizing the contractual terms of the Partnership Agreement. When current period distributions are in excess of earnings, the excess distributions for the period are to be allocated to the general partner and limited partners based on their respective sharing of income and losses specified in the Partnership Agreement. Additionally, as required under FASB ASC 260-10-45-61A, unvested share-based payments that entitle employees to receive non-forfeitable distributions are considered participating securities, as defined in FASB ASC 260-10-20, for earnings per unit calculations.
For purposes of computing diluted net income per unit, the Partnership uses the more dilutive of the two-class and if-converted methods. Under the if-converted method, the weighted-average number of subordinated units outstanding for the period is added to the weighted-average number of common units outstanding for purposes of computing basic net income per unit and the resulting amount is compared to the diluted net income per unit computed using the two-class method.
The following is a reconciliation of net income allocated to the general partner and limited partners for purposes of calculating net income attributable to limited partners per unit:

Long-Term Incentive Plans
The Partnership's general partner has long-term incentive plans for employees and directors of the general partner and its affiliates who perform services for the Partnership.
2021 Phantom Unit Plan
On July 21, 2021, the board of directors of the general partner of the Partnership (the "Board") and the compensation committee of the Board (the "Compensation Committee") approved the Martin Midstream Partners L.P. 2021 Phantom Unit Plan (the “Plan”), effective as of the same date. The Plan permits the awards of phantom units and phantom unit appreciation rights (collectively, "phantom unit awards") to any employee or non-employee director of the Partnership, including its executive officers. The awards may be time-based or performance-based and will be paid, if at all, in cash.
The award of a phantom unit entitles the participant to a cash payment equal to the value of the phantom unit on the vesting date or dates, which value is the fair market value of a common unit of the Partnership (a “Unit”) on such vesting date or dates. The award of a phantom unit appreciation right entitles the recipient to a cash payment equal to the difference between the value of a phantom unit on the vesting date or dates in excess of the value assigned by the Compensation Committee to the phantom unit as of the grant date. Phantom units and phantom unit appreciation rights granted to participants do not confer upon participants any right to a Unit.
On July 21, 2021, the Compensation Committee approved forms of time-based award agreements for phantom units and phantom unit appreciation rights, both of which awards vest in full on the third anniversary of the grant date. The grant date value of a phantom unit under a phantom unit appreciation right award is equal to the average of the closing price for a Unit during the
20
trading days immediately preceding the grant date of the award.
Generally, vesting of an award is subject to a participant remaining continuously employed with the Partnership through the vesting date. However, if prior to the vesting date (i) a participant is terminated without cause (as defined in the award agreement) or terminates employment after the participant has attained both the age of 65 and ten years of employment (“retirement-eligible”), a prorated portion of the award will vest and be paid in cash no later than the 30
th
day following such termination date (subject to a six-month delay in payment for certain retirement-eligible participants) or (ii) there is a change in control of the Partnership (as defined in the Plan), the award will vest in full and be paid in cash no later than the 30
th
day following the date of the change of control; provided, that the participant has been in continuous employment through the termination or change in control date, as applicable.
On April 20, 2022, the Board and the Compensation Committee approved the First Amendment to the Plan, effective as of the same date, which amendment increased the total number of phantom units available for grant under the Plan from
2,000,000
units to
5,000,000
units. On April 20, 2022,
365,000
phantom units and
1,097,500
phantom unit appreciation rights were granted to employees of the general partner and its affiliates who perform services for the Partnership. These units settled in July of 2025 for $
1,123
. On July 19, 2023,
1,179,500
phantom units and
505,500
phantom unit appreciation rights were granted to employees of the general partner and its affiliates who perform services for the Partnership.
2025 Phantom Unit Plan
On February 11, 2025, the Board and the Compensation Committee approved the Martin Midstream Partners L.P. 2025 Phantom Unit Plan (the “2025 Plan”) to supersede the 2021 Plan, effective as of the same date. The 2025 Plan contains substantially the same terms and conditions as the 2021 Plan. On February 11, 2025,
1,210,000
phantom units and
425,000
phantom unit appreciation rights were granted to employees of the general partner and its affiliates who perform services for the Partnership. On July 16, 2025,
1,275,000
phantom units and
420,000
phantom unit appreciation rights were granted to employees of the general partner and its affiliates who perform services for the Partnership. The 2025 Plan permits the awards of phantom units and phantom unit appreciation rights to any employee or non-employee director of the Partnership, including its executive officers. The awards may be time-based or performance-based and will be paid, if at all, in cash.
Phantom unit awards are recorded in operating expense and selling, general and administrative expense based on the fair value of the awards on the balance sheet date. The fair value of these awards is updated at each balance sheet date and

September 30, 2025
(Unaudited)
changes in the fair value of the awards are recorded as increases or decreases to compensation expense within operating expense and selling, general and administrative expense in the Consolidated and Condensed Statements of Operations. All of the Partnership's phantom unit awards outstanding as of September 30, 2025 met the criteria to be treated under liability classification in accordance with ASC 718, given that these awards will settle in cash on the vesting date.
Compensation expense for the phantom awards is based on the fair value of the units as of the balance sheet date as further discussed below, and such costs are recognized ratably over the service period of the awards. As the fair value of liability awards is required to be re-measured each period end, stock compensation expense amounts recognized in future periods for these awards will vary. The estimated future cash payments of these awards are presented as liabilities within "Trade and other accounts payable" and "Other long-term obligations" in the Consolidated and Condensed Balance Sheets. At September 30, 2025, the total liability recognized in connection with outstanding phantom unit awards was $
4,257
, of which $
3,019
is recorded in Trade and other accounts payable and $
1,238
is recorded in Other long-term obligations on the Consolidated and Condensed Balance Sheets. At December 31, 2024, the total liability recognized in connection with outstanding phantom unit awards was $
3,480
, of which $
1,073
is recorded in Trade and other accounts payable and $
2,407
is recorded in Other long-term obligations on the Consolidated and Condensed Balance Sheets. As of September 30, 2025, there was a total of $
7,662
of unrecognized compensation costs related to phantom unit awards. These costs are expected to be recognized over a remaining life of
2.15
years.
The fair value of the phantom unit awards was estimated using a Monte Carlo valuation model as of the balance sheet date. The Monte Carlo valuation model is based on random projections of stock price paths and must be repeated numerous times to achieve a probabilistic assessment. Expected volatility was calculated based on the historical volatility of the Partnership’s common units as well as those of a set set of its' peer companies.
Restricted Unit Plan
On May 26, 2017, the unitholders of the Partnership approved the Martin Midstream Partners L.P. 2017 Restricted Unit Plan (the "2017 LTIP"). The 2017 LTIP currently permits the grant of awards covering an aggregate of
3,000,000
common units, all of which can be awarded in the form of restricted units. The 2017 LTIP is administered by the Compensation Committee.
A restricted unit is a unit that is granted to grantees with certain vesting restrictions, which may be time-based and/or performance-based. Once these restrictions lapse, the grantee is entitled to full ownership of the unit without restrictions. The Compensation Committee may determine to make grants under the 2017 LTIP containing such terms as the Compensation Committee shall determine under the 2017 LTIP. With respect to time-based restricted units ("TBRUs"), the Compensation Committee will determine the time period over which restricted units granted to employees and directors will vest. The Compensation Committee may also award a percentage of restricted units with vesting requirements based upon the achievement of specified pre-established performance targets ("Performance Based Restricted Units" or "PBRUs"). The performance targets may include, but are not limited to, the following: revenue and income measures, cash flow measures, net income before interest expense and income tax expense ("EBIT"), net income before interest expense, income tax expense, and depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA"), distribution coverage metrics, expense measures, liquidity measures, market measures, corporate sustainability metrics, and other measures related to acquisitions, dispositions, operational objectives and succession planning objectives. PBRUs are earned only upon our achievement of an objective performance measure for the performance period. PBRUs which vest are payable in common units. Unvested units granted under the 2017 LTIP may or may not participate in cash distributions depending on the terms of each individual award agreement.
The restricted units issued to directors generally vest in equal annual installments over a
four-year
period. Restricted units issued to employees generally vest in equal annual installments over
three years
of service. All of the Partnership's outstanding restricted unit awards at September 30, 2025, met the criteria to be treated under equity classification.
On February 11, 2025, the Partnership issued
18,000
TBRUs to each of the Partnership's
three
independent directors under the 2017 LTIP. These restricted common units vest in equal installments of
4,500
units on January 24, 2026, 2027, 2028, and 2029.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
As of September 30, 2025, Martin Resource Management Corporation owns
7,662,005
of the Partnership’s common units representing approximately
19.6
% of the Partnership’s outstanding limited partner units. Martin Resource Management Corporation controls the Partnership's general partner by virtue of its
100
% voting interest in MMGP Holdings, LLC ("Holdings"), the sole member of the Partnership's general partner. The Partnership’s general partner, MMGP, owns a
2
% general partner interest in the Partnership. The Partnership’s general partner’s ability, as general partner, to manage and operate the Partnership, and Martin Resource Management Corporation’s ownership as of September 30, 2025, of approximately
19.6
% of the Partnership’s outstanding limited partnership units, effectively gives Martin Resource Management Corporation the ability to veto some of the Partnership’s actions and to control the Partnership’s management.
The following is a description of the Partnership’s material related party agreements and transactions:
Omnibus Agreement

The provisions of the Omnibus Agreement regarding Martin Resource Management Corporation’s services will terminate if Martin Resource Management Corporation ceases to control the general partner of the Partnership.

. The Omnibus Agreement prohibits the Partnership from entering into any material agreement with Martin Resource Management Corporation without the prior approval of the Conflicts Committee. For purposes of the Omnibus Agreement, the term "material agreements" means any agreement between the Partnership and Martin Resource Management Corporation that requires aggregate annual payments in excess of the then-applicable agreed upon reimbursable amount of indirect general and administrative expenses. Please read "Services" above.

BUSINESS SEGMENTS
The Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") is a group of executives, comprised of the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer of the Partnership's general partner. The CODM may use different operating measures to assess operating results and allocate resources among the Partnership's
four
segments (outlined below), however the measure that is most consistent with the amounts included in the consolidated financial statements is operating income. The CODM utilizes this measure to evaluate the current financial performance and project the future financial performance of each segment to determine the allocation of capital resources.
The Partnership's
four
reportable segments are comprised of (1) Terminalling and Storage, (2) Transportation, (3) Sulfur Services and (4) Specialty Products. The operating segments within each of our reportable segments have been aggregated based on the similarity of their economic and other characteristics, including different product type and services.
The Terminalling and Storage segment generates revenue by providing terminalling, processing, and storage services for petroleum products and by-products. Storage revenue is earned through contracted monthly tank fixed fees, while throughput revenue is based on the volume moved through the Partnership’s terminals at contracted rates. Tolling revenue is derived from contracted monthly reservation fees and throughput volumes processed at the facility.
The Transportation segment earns revenue by offering land and marine transportation services for petroleum products, by-products, chemicals, and specialty products. Land transportation revenue is based on mileage rates for line hauls or completion of contracted trips. Marine transportation revenue comes from time charters, calculated on a per-day basis, or from the completion of contracted trips.
The Sulfur Services segment generates revenue by providing processing, manufacturing, marketing, and distribution services for sulfur and sulfur-based products. Revenue from sulfur and fertilizer product sales is recognized when the customer takes title to the product. Revenue from sulfur services is earned as services are performed during each monthly period.

(Unaudited)
The Specialty Products segment earns revenue by providing marketing, distribution, and transportation services for NGLs as well as blending and packaging services for specialty lubricants and greases. NGL revenue is recognized upon the sale of products via truck, rail, or pipeline. For lubricants and greases, revenue is recognized upon their sale by truck or rail.

NOTE 12.
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Contingencies
From time to time, the Partnership is subject to various claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Partnership.
On December 31, 2015, the Partnership received a demand from a customer in its lubricants packaging business for defense and indemnity in connection with various lawsuits filed against it, which generally alleged that the customer engaged in unlawful and deceptive business practices in connection with its marketing and advertising of its private label motor oil (the “Marketing Lawsuits”). The Partnership disputed and continues to dispute that it has any obligation to defend or indemnify the customer for the customer’s conduct. Accordingly, on January 7, 2016, the Partnership filed a Complaint for Declaratory Judgment in the Chancery Court of Davidson County, Tennessee (the “Tennessee Court”), under Case No. 16-0018-BC, requesting a judicial determination that the Partnership did not owe the customer the demanded defense and indemnity obligations (the “Litigation”). The Marketing Lawsuits pending in federal court against the customer were transferred to the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri under the consolidated case MDL No. 2709 for pretrial proceedings (the “Consolidated Lawsuits”). On March 1, 2017, at the joint request of the customer and the Partnership, the Tennessee Court administratively closed the Litigation. In 2021, the customer settled the Consolidated Lawsuits. On December 17, 2021, at the request of the customer, the Tennessee Court reopened the Litigation and the customer asserted various counterclaims against the Partnership seeking, among other things, to recover its costs of defending and settling the Consolidated Lawsuits. At this time, we are unable to determine what ultimate exposure we may have in this matter, if any. The Partnership intends to vigorously defend the counterclaims asserted by the customer in the Litigation. The trial for the Litigation is expected to be held in 2026.
NOTE 13.
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The Partnership uses a valuation framework based upon inputs that market participants use in pricing certain assets and liabilities. These inputs are classified into two categories: observable inputs and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs represent market data obtained from independent sources. Unobservable inputs represent the Partnership's own market assumptions. Unobservable inputs are used only if observable inputs are unavailable or not reasonably available without undue cost and effort. The two types of inputs are further prioritized into the following hierarchy:
Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs that reflect the entity's own assumptions and are not corroborated by market data.
The Partnership is required to disclose estimated fair values for its financial instruments. Fair value estimates are set forth below for these financial instruments. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument:
•
Accounts and other receivables, trade and other accounts payable, accrued interest payable, other accrued liabilities, income taxes payable and due from/to affiliates: The carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the short maturity and highly liquid nature of these instruments, and as such these have been excluded from the table below. There is negligible credit risk associated with these instruments.
•
Current and non-current portion of long-term debt: The carrying amount of the credit facility approximates fair value due to the debt having a variable interest rate and is in Level 2. The estimated fair value of the 2028 Notes is considered Level 2, as the fair value is based upon quoted prices for identical liabilities in markets that are not active.

INVESTMENT IN DSM SEMICHEM LLC
On October 19, 2022, Martin ELSA Investment LLC, the Partnership's affiliate, entered into definitive agreements with Samsung C&T America, Inc. and Dongjin USA, Inc., an affiliate of Dongjin Semichem Co., Ltd., to form DSM Semichem LLC (“DSM”). DSM will produce and distribute electronic level sulfuric acid (“ELSA”). By leveraging the Partnership's existing assets located in Plainview, Texas and installing additional facilities (the “ELSA Facility”) as required, DSM will produce ELSA that meets the strict quality standards required by the recent advances in semiconductor manufacturing. In addition to owning a
10
% non-controlling interest in DSM, the Partnership will be the exclusive provider of feedstock to the ELSA Facility. The Partnership, through its affiliate MTI, will also provide land transportation services for the ELSA produced by DSM. On April 1, 2024, the Partnership contributed $
6,500
in cash to DSM, which represents the cash contributions required pursuant to DSM's limited liability agreement for the Partnership's
10
% non-controlling interest. Also, in conjunction with the formation of DSM, we contributed approximately
22
acres of land. The Partnership recognizes its
10
% interest in DSM as "Investment in DSM Semichem LLC" on its Consolidated and Condensed Balance Sheets. The Partnership accounts for its ownership interest in DSM under the equity method of accounting.
Selected financial information for DSM is as follows:

The operations of a partnership are generally not subject to income taxes, except for Texas margin tax, because its income is taxed directly to its partners. Current state income taxes attributable to the Texas margin tax relating to the operation of the Partnership of $
270
and $
270
were recorded in income tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Current state income taxes attributable to the Texas margin tax relating to the operation of the Partnership of $
958
and $
820
were recorded in income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Deferred taxes applicable to the Texas margin tax relating to the operation of the Partnership are immaterial.
MTI, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Partnership, is subject to income taxes due to its corporate structure (the "Taxable Subsidiary"). Total income tax expense of $
445
and $
796
, related to the operation of the Taxable Subsidiary, for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, resulted in an effective income tax rate ("ETR") of
18.68
% and
33.36
%, respectively. Total income tax expense of $
2,958
and $
2,814
, related to the operation of the Taxable Subsidiary, for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, resulted in an ETR of
40.38
% and
25.17
%, respectively.
On July 4, 2025, Congress enacted the One Big Beautiful Bill Act ("OBBBA"). The new legislation resulted in a discrete deferred income tax expense of $
570
related to the reinstatement of 100% bonus depreciation for qualified property placed in service after January 19, 2025 and the favorable provision that modifies the deductibility of interest expense by excluding amortization and depreciation from the Adjusted Taxable Income (ATI) calculation for purposes of Section 163j.
The decrease in the provision for income taxes and the ETR for the income taxes during the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024, was primarily due to a decrease in permanent differences and a reduction in estimated current taxable income resulting from favorable impacts of the OBBBA legislation, offset in part by the one-time discrete income tax expense for the revaluation of deferred tax assets and liabilities as a result of the enactment of the OBBBA. The increase in the provision for income taxes and the ETR for the income taxes during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024, was primarily due to an increase in permanent differences and the one-time discrete income tax expense for the revaluation of deferred tax assets and liabilities as a result of the enactment of the OBBBA, offset in part by a reduction in current estimated taxable income resulting from favorable impacts of the OBBBA legislation.

With respect to MTI, income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method pursuant to the provisions of ASC 740 related to income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
A deferred tax expense related to the MTI temporary differences of $

Item 2.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
You should read the following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with the consolidated and condensed financial statements and the notes thereto included elsewhere in this quarterly report.
Overview
We are a publicly traded limited partnership with a diverse set of operations focused primarily in the Gulf Coast region of the U.S. Our four primary business lines include:
•
Terminalling, processing, and storage services for petroleum products and by-products;
•
Land and marine transportation services for petroleum products and by-products, chemicals, and specialty products;
•
Sulfur and sulfur-based products processing, manufacturing, marketing, and distribution; and
•
Marketing, distribution, and transportation services for NGLs and blending and packaging services for specialty lubricants and grease.
The petroleum products and by-products we collect, transport, store and market are produced primarily by major and independent oil and gas companies who often turn to third parties, such as us, for the transportation and disposition of these products. In addition to these major and independent oil and gas companies, our primary customers include independent refiners, large chemical companies, and other wholesale purchasers of these products. We operate primarily in the Gulf Coast region of the U.S. This region is a major hub for petroleum refining, natural gas gathering and processing, and support services for the exploration and production industry.
We were formed in 2002 by Martin Resource Management Corporation, a privately-held company whose initial predecessor was incorporated in 1951 as a supplier of products and services to drilling rig contractors. Since then, Martin Resource Management Corporation has expanded its operations through acquisitions and internal expansion initiatives as its management identified and capitalized on the needs of producers and purchasers of petroleum products and by-products and other bulk liquids. Martin Resource Management Corporation is an important supplier and customer of ours. As of September 30, 2025, Martin Resource Management Corporation owned 19.6% of our total outstanding common limited partner units and 100% of MMGP Holdings, LLC ("Holdings"), which is the sole member of Martin Midstream GP LLC ("MMGP"), our general partner. MMGP owns a 2.0% general partner interest in us.
We entered into the Omnibus Agreement that governs, among other things, potential competition and indemnification obligations among the parties to the agreement, related party transactions, the provision of general administration and support services by Martin Resource Management Corporation and our use of certain of Martin Resource Management Corporation’s trade names and trademarks. Under the terms of the Omnibus Agreement, the employees of Martin Resource Management Corporation are responsible for conducting our business and operating our assets.
Martin Resource Management Corporation has operated our business since our inception in 2002. Martin Resource Management Corporation began operating our NGL business in the 1950s and our sulfur business in the 1960s. It began our land transportation business in the early 1980s and our marine transportation business in the late 1980s. It entered into our fertilizer and terminalling and storage businesses in the early 1990s.
Significant Recent Developments
Amendment to Credit Facility
. On September 24, 2025, we entered into the Second Amendment to the Credit Agreement to, among other things:
•
extend the maturity date of amounts outstanding and the lenders’ commitments under the Credit Agreement from February 8, 2027 to November 16, 2027;
•
decrease the amount available for us to borrow under the Credit Agreement on a revolving credit basis from $150.0 million to $130.0 million; and
•
adjust the financial covenants as described in more detail below:
▪
require us to maintain a minimum Interest Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of at least 1.75 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2025 and each fiscal quarter thereafter;
34
▪
require us to maintain a maximum Total Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of not more than 4.50 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarters ended March 31, 2025 and June 30, 2025, and stepping up to 4.75 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2025 and each fiscal quarter thereafter; and
▪
require us to maintain a maximum First Lien Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of not more than 1.25 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2025 and each fiscal quarter thereafter.
Tariffs and Trading Relationships.
In April 2025, the U.S. government announced a baseline tariff of 10% on products imported from all countries and an additional individualized reciprocal tariff on the countries with which the United States has the largest trade deficits, including China. Increased tariffs by the United States have led and may continue to lead to the imposition of retaliatory tariffs by foreign jurisdictions. Additionally, the U.S. government has announced and rescinded multiple tariffs on several foreign jurisdictions, which has increased uncertainty regarding the ultimate effect of the tariffs on economic conditions. Current uncertainties about tariffs and their effects on trading relationships may affect costs for and availability of raw materials or contribute to inflation in the markets in which we operate. Although we are continuing to monitor the economic effects of such announcements, as well as opportunities to mitigate their related impacts, costs and other effects associated with the tariffs remain uncertain.
Subsequent Events
Quarterly Distribution.
On October 15, 2025, we declared a quarterly cash distribution of $0.005 per common unit for the third quarter of 2025, or $0.020 per common unit on an annualized basis, which will be paid on November 14, 2025, to unitholders of record as of November 7, 2025.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on the historical consolidated and condensed financial statements included elsewhere herein. We prepared these financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. We routinely evaluate these estimates, utilizing historical experience, consultation with experts and other methods we consider reasonable in the particular circumstances. Our results may differ from these estimates, and any effects on our business, financial position or results of operations resulting from revisions to these estimates are recorded in the period in which the facts that give rise to the revision become known. Changes in these estimates could materially affect our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. See the "Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates" section in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and Note 2, "Significant Accounting Policies" in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included within our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the SEC on February 24, 2025.

Approval and Review of Related Party Transactions
If we contemplate entering into a transaction, other than a routine or in the ordinary course of business transaction, in which a related person will have a direct or indirect material interest, the proposed transaction is submitted for consideration to the Board or to our management, as appropriate. If the Board is involved in the approval process, it determines whether to refer the matter to the Conflicts Committee, as constituted under our limited partnership agreement. If a matter is referred to the Conflicts Committee, the Conflicts Committee obtains information regarding the proposed transaction from management and determines whether to engage independent legal counsel or an independent financial advisor to advise the members of the committee regarding the transaction. If the Conflicts Committee retains such counsel or financial advisor, it considers such advice and, in the case of a financial advisor, such advisor’s opinion as to whether the transaction is fair and reasonable to us and to our unitholders.
37
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To assist management in assessing our business, we use the following non-GAAP financial measures: earnings before interest, taxes, and depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA"), Adjusted EBITDA (as defined below), distributable cash flow available to common unitholders (“Distributable Cash Flow”), and free cash flow after growth capital expenditures and principal payments under finance lease obligations ("Adjusted Free Cash Flow"). Our management uses a variety of financial and operational measurements other than our financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP to analyze our performance.
Certain items excluded from EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are significant components in understanding and assessing an entity's financial performance, such as cost of capital and historical costs of depreciable assets.
Adjusted EBITDA
. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA before unit-based compensation expenses, gains and losses on the disposition of property, plant and equipment, impairment and other similar non-cash adjustments, and transaction costs associated with business combination, merger, and divestiture activities. Adjusted EBITDA is used as a supplemental performance and liquidity measure by our management and by external users of our financial statements, such as investors, commercial banks, research analysts, and others, to assess:
•
the financial performance of our assets without regard to financing methods, capital structure, or historical cost basis;
•
the ability of our assets to generate cash sufficient to pay interest costs, support our indebtedness, and make cash distributions to our unitholders; and
•
our operating performance and return on capital as compared to those of other companies in the midstream energy sector, without regard to financing methods or capital structure.
The GAAP measures most directly comparable to Adjusted EBITDA is net income (loss) and net cash provided by (used in) operating activities. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income (loss), operating income (loss), net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies because other companies may not calculate Adjusted EBITDA in the same manner.
Adjusted EBITDA does not include interest expense, income tax expense, and depreciation and amortization. Because we have borrowed money to finance our operations, interest expense is a necessary element of our costs and our ability to generate cash available for distribution. Because we have capital assets, depreciation and amortization are also necessary elements of our costs. Therefore, any measures that exclude these elements have material limitations. To compensate for these limitations, we believe that it is important to consider net income (loss) and net cash provided by (used in) operating activities as determined under GAAP, as well as Adjusted EBITDA, to evaluate our overall performance.
Distributable Cash Flow.
We define Distributable Cash Flow as Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Operating Activities less cash received (plus cash paid) for closed commodity derivative positions included in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss), plus changes in operating assets and liabilities which (provided) used cash, less maintenance capital expenditures and plant turnaround costs. Distributable Cash Flow is a significant performance measure used by our management and by external users of our financial statements, such as investors, commercial banks and research analysts, to compare basic cash flows generated by us to the cash distributions we expect to pay unitholders. Distributable Cash Flow is also an important financial measure for our unitholders since it serves as an indicator of our success in providing a cash return on investment. Specifically, this financial measure indicates to investors whether or not we are generating cash flow at a level that can sustain or support an increase in our quarterly distribution rates. Distributable Cash Flow is also a quantitative standard used throughout the investment community with respect to publicly-traded partnerships because the value of a unit of such an entity is generally determined by the unit's yield, which in turn is based on the amount of cash distributions the entity pays to a unitholder.
Adjusted Free Cash Flow.
We define Adjusted Free Cash Flow as Distributable Cash Flow less growth capital expenditures and principal payments under finance lease obligations. Adjusted Free Cash Flow is a significant performance measure used by our management and by external users of our financial statements and represents how much cash flow a business generates during a specified time period after accounting for all capital expenditures, including expenditures for growth and maintenance capital projects. We believe that Adjusted Free Cash Flow is important to investors, lenders, commercial banks and research analysts since it reflects the amount of cash available for reducing debt, investing in additional capital projects, paying distributions, and similar matters. Our calculation of Adjusted Free Cash Flow may or may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other entities.
38
The GAAP measure most directly comparable to Distributable Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow is Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Operating Activities. Distributable Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow should not be considered alternatives to, or more meaningful than, Net Income (Loss), Operating Income (Loss), Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Operating Activities, or any other measure of liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP. Distributable Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow have important limitations because they exclude some items that affect Net Income (Loss), Operating Income (Loss), and Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Operating Activities. Distributable Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies because other companies may not calculate these non-GAAP metrics in the same manner. To compensate for these limitations, we believe that it is important to consider Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Operating Activities determined under GAAP, as well as Distributable Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow, to evaluate our overall liquidity.
The following tables reconcile the non-GAAP financial measurements used by management to our most directly comparable GAAP measures for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, which represents EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Distributable Cash Flow, and Adjusted Free Cash Flow:

Results of Operations
The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, have been derived from our consolidated and condensed financial statements.
We evaluate segment performance on the basis of operating income, which is derived by subtracting cost of products sold, operating expenses, selling, general and administrative expenses, and depreciation and amortization expense from revenues. The following table sets forth our operating revenues and operating income by segment for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024. The results of operations for these interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations which might be expected for the entire year.
Our consolidated and condensed results of operations are presented on a comparative basis below. There are certain items of income and expense which we do not allocate on a segment basis. These items, including interest expense and indirect selling, general and administrative expenses, are discussed following the comparative discussion of our results within each segment.

Revenues.
Revenues increased $1.4 million. Revenue at our underground storage terminal increased $1.4 million primarily as a result of increased storage volume. Revenue at our Smackover refinery increased $0.4 million primarily due to increases in throughput revenue and reservation fees. Revenue at our specialty terminals decreased $0.4 million, primarily as a result of decreased storage and service revenue. Our shore-based terminals decreased $0.2 million due to decreased space rent.
Operating expenses.
Operating expenses increased primarily due to increases at our Smackover refinery in natural gas utilities of $0.2 million and employee-related expenses of $0.5 million. These increases were offset by a lower repairs and maintenance at our shore-based terminals of $0.2 million.
Selling, general and administrative expenses.
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased primarily due to lower employee-related expenses.
Depreciation and amortization.

Indirect selling, general and administrative expenses increased for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024, primarily due to transaction expenses associated with the terminated merger with Martin Resource Management Corporation.
Indirect selling, general and administrative expenses increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024, primarily due to transaction expenses associated with the terminated merger with Martin Resource Management Corporation.
Martin Resource Management Corporation allocates to us a portion of its indirect selling, general and administrative expenses for services such as accounting, legal, treasury, clerical, billing, information technology, administration of insurance, engineering, general office expense and employee benefit plans and other general corporate overhead functions we share with Martin Resource Management Corporation retained businesses. This allocation is based on the percentage of time spent by Martin Resource Management Corporation personnel that provide such centralized services. GAAP also permits other methods for
50
allocation of these expenses, such as basing the allocation on the percentage of revenues contributed by a segment. The allocation of these expenses between Martin Resource Management Corporation and us is subject to a number of judgments and estimates, regardless of the method used. We can provide no assurances that our method of allocation, in the past or in the future, is or will be the most accurate or appropriate method of allocation for these expenses. Other methods could result in a higher allocation of selling, general and administrative expenses to us, which would reduce our net income.
Under the Omnibus Agreement, we are required to reimburse Martin Resource Management Corporation for indirect general and administrative and corporate overhead expenses. The Conflicts Committee of our general partner approved the following reimbursement amounts during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024:

Net cash provided by operating activities.
The increase in net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, includes a decrease in operating results and other non-cash charges of $14.6 million, offset by a favorable variance in cash flows associated with changes in working capital of $32.1 million.
Net cash used in investing activities.
Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, decreased $27.2 million. A decrease in cash used of $19.8 million resulted from lower payments for capital expenditures and plant turnaround costs in 2025. Investments in DSM Semichem LLC decreased $6.9 million. Additionally, net proceeds from the sale of property, plant and equipment increased $0.5 million.
Net cash (used in) provided by financing activities.
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, decreased primarily as a result of an increase in repayments of long-term debt of $4.0 million, coupled with a decrease in borrowings of long-term debt of $40.1 million. Additionally, we incurred additional debt issuance costs of $0.7 million.

Description of Our Indebtedness
Credit Facility
At September 30, 2025, we maintained a $130.0 million credit facility that matures on November 16, 2027. As of September 30, 2025, we had $53.5 million outstanding under the credit facility and $0.6 million of outstanding irrevocable letters of credit, leaving a maximum amount available to be borrowed under our credit facility for future revolving credit borrowings and letters of credit of $75.9 million. After giving effect to our then current borrowings, letters of credit, and the financial covenants contained in our credit facility, we had the ability to borrow approximately $11.4 million in additional amounts thereunder as of September 30, 2025.
The credit facility is used for ongoing working capital needs and general partnership purposes, and to finance permitted investments, acquisitions and capital expenditures. The level of outstanding draws on our credit facility from January 1, 2025 through September 30, 2025 ranged from a low of $41.0 million to a high of $87.0 million.
The applicable margin for Adjusted Term SOFR borrowings at September 30, 2025 is 3.50%. The applicable margin for Adjusted Term SOFR borrowings effective October 15, 2025 is 3.75%.
On September 24, 2025, we entered into the Second Amendment to the Credit Agreement to, among other things:
•
extend the maturity date of amounts outstanding and the lenders’ commitments under the Credit Agreement from February 8, 2027 to November 16, 2027;
•
decrease the amount available for us to borrow under the Credit Agreement on a revolving credit basis from $150.0 million to $130.0 million; and
•
adjust the financial covenants as described in more detail below:
▪
require us to maintain a minimum Interest Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of at least 1.75 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2025 and each fiscal quarter thereafter;
▪
require us to maintain a maximum Total Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of not more than 4.50 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarters ended March 31, 2025 and June 30, 2025, and stepping up to 4.75 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2025 and each fiscal quarter thereafter; and
▪
require us to maintain a maximum First Lien Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of not more than 1.25 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2025 and each fiscal quarter thereafter.
For a description of our credit facility, see “Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Description of Our Long-Term Debt" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the SEC on February 24, 2025.
2028 Notes
For a description of our 2028 Notes, see "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Description of Our Long-Term Debt" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the SEC on February 24, 2025.
Capital Resources and Liquidity
Historically, we have generally satisfied our working capital requirements and funded our debt service obligations and capital expenditures with cash generated from operations and borrowings under our credit facility.
53
On September 30, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents of $0.05 million and available borrowing capacity of $75.9 million under our credit facility with $53.5 million of borrowings outstanding. After giving effect to our then current borrowings, letters of credit, and the financial covenants contained in our credit facility, we had the ability to borrow approximately $11.4 million in additional amounts thereunder as of September 30, 2025.
We expect that our primary sources of liquidity to meet operating expenses, service our indebtedness, pay distributions to our unitholders and fund capital expenditures will be provided by cash flows generated by our operations, borrowings under our credit facility and access to the debt and equity capital markets. Our ability to generate cash from operations will depend upon our future operating performance, which is subject to certain risks. For a discussion of such risks, please read "Item 1A. Risk Factors" of our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the SEC on February 24, 2025. In addition, due to the covenants in our credit facility, our financial and operating performance impacts the amount we are permitted to borrow under that facility.
We are in compliance with all debt covenants as of September 30, 2025, and expect to be in compliance for the next twelve months.
Interest Rate Risk
We are subject to interest rate risk on our credit facility due to the variable interest rate and may enter into interest rate swaps to reduce this variable rate risk.
Seasonality
A substantial portion of our revenues is dependent on sales prices of products, particularly NGLs and fertilizers, which fluctuate in part based on winter and spring weather conditions. The demand for NGLs is strongest during the winter heating season. The demand for fertilizers is strongest during the early spring planting season. However, our Terminalling and Storage and Transportation business segments and the molten sulfur business are typically not impacted by seasonal fluctuations and a significant portion of our net income is derived from our Terminalling and Storage, Sulfur Services and Transportation business segments. Further, extraordinary weather events, such as hurricanes, have in the past, and could in the future, impact our Terminalling and Storage, Sulfur Services, and Transportation business segments.
Impact of Inflation
Inflation did not have a material impact on our results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 or 2024. Inflation may increase the cost to acquire or replace property, plant and equipment. It may also increase the costs of labor and supplies. In the future, increasing energy prices for products consumed by our operations, such as diesel fuel, natural gas, chemicals, and other supplies, could adversely affect our results of operations. An increase in price of these products would increase our operating expenses which could adversely affect net income. We cannot provide assurance that we will be able to pass along increased operating expenses to our customers.
Environmental Matters
Our operations are subject to environmental laws and regulations adopted by various governmental authorities in the jurisdictions in which these operations are conducted.
On June 15, 2024, the Partnership experienced a spill of less than 2,500 barrels of crude oil from its transfer pipeline connecting the Sandyland Terminal to the refinery in Smackover, Union County, Arkansas. The Partnership promptly coordinated with the U.S Environmental Protection Agency (the “EPA”), Arkansas Department of Energy and Environment (the “ADEE”), and Arkansas Game and Fish Commission, dedicating the necessary resources, equipment, and personnel to expedite oil recovery and cleanup activities. In October 2024, the EPA transitioned the Partnership’s response from emergency response status to remediation status under ADEE oversight. On October 11, 2024, the ADEE notified the Partnership that documentation, observations, and data indicated the Partnership completed all remedial actions to the maximum practical extent. No further remediation is required at this time. The Partnership submitted a claim related to the spill, which was accepted by its insurance carriers, subject to a reservation of rights. The Partnership’s deductibles under the applicable insurance policies total $1.5 million and such deductible expense was recorded by the Partnership in the Consolidated and Condensed Statements of Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. As of October 20, 2025, no fines or penalties have been assessed in relation to the spill.
We incurred no material environmental costs, liabilities or expenditures to mitigate or eliminate environmental contamination during the nine months ended September 30, 2025.
54
On March 6, 2024, the SEC adopted final rules that require the registrants to disclose certain climate-related information in registration statements and annual reports. Litigation challenging the new rule was filed by multiple parties in multiple jurisdictions, which was consolidated and assigned to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit. On April 4, 2024, the SEC announced it was voluntarily delaying the implementation of the climate disclosure regulations while the U.S. Court of Appeals considered the litigation. On March 27, 2025, the SEC voted to end the defense of the rules in the litigation. On September 12, 2025, the U.S. Court of Appeals issued an order to hold the petitions challenging the climate disclosure rules in abeyance pending further action by the SEC.
On July 4, 2025, Congress enacted the OBBBA, which, among other things, postpones the U.S. EPA’s imposition of the methane Waste Emissions Charge to 2034, lowers royalties on federal onshore oil and gas leases, and repeals a royalty imposed on waste methane produced from federal oil and gas leases.
On July 29, 2025, the EPA issued an interim final rule extending several compliance deadlines associated with the strict new methane rules for the oil and gas industry that were published in March 2024 and took effect in May 2024. On July 29, 2025, the EPA released a pre-publication proposed rule which would rescind the EPA’s 2009 final rule under the Clean Air Act finding that greenhouse gases (“GHGs”) endanger the public health and welfare of current and future generations and that emissions of GHGs from new motor vehicles contribute to GHG pollution that threatens the public health and welfare. On September 16, 2025, the EPA announced a proposal to end the Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program (“GHGRP”) for all sectors except petroleum and natural gas systems (excluding reporting for natural gas distribution). Reporting for petroleum and natural gas systems under the GHGRP would be deferred until 2034 under the proposal.

Item 3.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
The Partnership is exposed to commodity risk and interest rate risk in its normal business activities. The following disclosures about market risk provide an update to, and should be read in conjunction with, “Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the SEC on February 24, 2025.
Commodity Risk.
The Partnership from time to time uses derivatives to manage the risk of commodity price fluctuation. Commodity risk is the adverse effect on the value of a liability or future purchase that results from a change in commodity price. We have established a hedging policy and monitor and manage the commodity market risk associated with potential commodity risk exposure. In addition, we focus on utilizing counterparties for these transactions whose financial condition is appropriate for the credit risk involved in each specific transaction. We had no outstanding hedging positions as of September 30, 2025.
Interest Rate Risk.
We are exposed to changes in interest rates as a result of our credit facility, which had a weighted-average interest rate of 7.74% as of September 30, 2025. Based on the amount of unhedged floating rate debt owed by us on September 30, 2025, the impact of a 100 basis point increase in interest rates on this amount of debt would result in an increase in interest expense and a corresponding decrease in net income of approximately $0.5 million annually.
We are not exposed to changes in interest rates with respect to our 2028 Notes as these obligations are at a fixed rate. Based on the quoted prices for identical liabilities in markets that are not active at September 30, 2025, the estimated fair value of the 2028 Note
s was $426.1 million.
Market risk is estimated as the potential decrease in fair value of our long-term debt resulting from a hypothetical increase of a 100 basis point increase in interest rates
. Such an increase in interest rates at September 30, 2025, would result in a $5.7 million decrease in the fair value of our 2028 Notes.

Item 4.
Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.
In accordance with Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 of the Exchange Act, we, under the supervision and with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of our general partner, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of our general partner concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective, as of the end of the period covered by this report, to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.
There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
