SUNOCO LP
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
(unaudited)
1.
Organization and Principles of Consolidation
As used in this document, the terms “Partnership,” “SUN,” “we,” “us,” and “our” should be understood to refer to Sunoco LP and our 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 (“General Partner”), which is owned by Energy Transfer Operating, L.P. (“ETO”), a consolidated subsidiary of Energy Transfer LP (“ET”). As of June 30, 2019, ETO and its subsidiaries owned 100% of the membership interests in our General Partner, all of our incentive distribution rights (“IDRs”) and approximately 34.4% of our common units, which constitutes a 28.7% limited partner interest in us.
The consolidated financial statements are composed of Sunoco LP, a publicly traded Delaware limited partnership, and our wholly‑owned subsidiaries.
Our primary operations are conducted by the following consolidated subsidiaries:
Sunoco, LLC (“Sunoco LLC”), a Delaware limited liability company, primarily distributes motor fuel in 30 states throughout the East Coast, Midwest, South Central and Southeast regions of the United States. Sunoco LLC also processes transmix and distributes refined product through its terminals in Alabama, Texas, Arkansas and New York.
Sunoco Retail LLC (“Sunoco Retail”), a Pennsylvania limited liability company, owns and operates retail stores that sell motor fuel and merchandise primarily in New Jersey.
Aloha Petroleum LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, distributes motor fuel and operates terminal facilities on the Hawaiian Islands.
Aloha Petroleum, Ltd. (“Aloha”), a Hawaii corporation, owns and operates retail stores on the Hawaiian Islands.

All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
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 gross profit, income from operations, net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss), the balance sheets or 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 financial statements have been condensed or omitted. The 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, 2018 filed with the SEC on February 22, 2019.
Significant Accounting Policies
As of June 30, 2019, the only material change in the Partnership’s significant accounting policies, as compared to those described in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, was the adoption of Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), described under Change in Accounting Principle.
Motor Fuel and Sales Taxes
For bulk sales, 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 direct sales to dealer and commercial customers is to exclude the collected motor fuel tax from sales and cost of sales.
For other locations where the Partnership holds inventory, including commission agent arrangements and Partnership-operated retail locations, motor fuel sales and motor fuel cost of sales include motor fuel taxes. Such amounts were $100 million and $122 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $194 million and $181 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Merchandise sales and cost of merchandise sales are reported net of sales tax in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss).


5


Change in Accounting Principle
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which amends the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and creates Topic 842, Leases. On January 1, 2019, we adopted ASC Topic 842, which is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2018. This Topic requires Balance Sheet recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities for leases classified as operating leases under previous GAAP. Under the standard, disclosures are required to meet the objective of enabling users of financial statements to assess the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases.
The Partnership elected the modified retrospective approach to adopt Topic 842. This approach involves recognition of an opening cumulative catch-up adjustment to the the balance sheet in the period of adoption, January 1, 2019. We have completed a detailed review of contracts representative of our business and assessed the terms under the new standard. Adoption of the standard had a material impact on our consolidated balance sheet, but did not have a material impact on our consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income or consolidated cash flows. The most significant impact was the recognition of right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities for operating leases, while our accounting for finance leases remained substantially unchanged.
As a result of the evaluation performed, we have recorded adjustments resulting in a net increase to assets and liabilities of approximately $547 million as of January 1, 2019. In addition to the evaluation performed, we have made appropriate design and implementation updates to our business processes, systems, and internal controls to support the on-going reporting requirements under the new standard.

Topic 842 provides for certain practical expedients that companies can elect to apply for purposes of adoption and implementation of the new standard. The practical expedients utilized by the Partnership are as follows: 1) no reassessment of whether existing contracts contain a lease, 2) no reassessment of the classification of existing leases, 3) no reassessment of initial direct costs for existing leases, 4) exclusion of leases with terms of 12 months or less from evaluation, 5) use of the portfolio approach to determine discount rates, 6) election to not separate non-lease components from lease components in existing lease agreements, and 7) election to not apply the use of hindsight to the active lease population.
The cumulative effect of the changes made to our consolidated January 1, 2019 balance sheet for the adoption of ASU No. 2016-02 was as follows:

Acquisitions
On January 18, 2019, we acquired certain convenience store locations from Speedway LLC for approximately $5 million plus working capital adjustments. We subsequently converted the acquired convenience store locations to commission agent locations.
4.
Discontinued Operations
On April 6, 2017, certain subsidiaries of the Partnership (collectively, the “Sellers”) entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “7-Eleven Purchase Agreement”) with 7-Eleven, Inc. (“7-Eleven”) and SEI Fuel Services, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of 7-Eleven (“SEI Fuel,” and, together with 7-Eleven, referred to herein collectively as “Buyers”). On January 23, 2018, we completed the disposition of assets pursuant to the Amended and Restated Asset Purchase Agreement entered by and among Sellers, Buyers and certain other named parties for the limited purposes set forth therein, pursuant to which the parties agreed to amend and restate the 7-Eleven Purchase Agreement to reflect commercial agreements and updates made by the parties in connection with consummation of the transactions contemplated by the 7-Eleven Purchase Agreement. Under the 7-Eleven Purchase Agreement, as amended and restated, we

6


sold a portfolio of 1,030 company-operated retail fuel outlets, together with ancillary businesses and related assets to Buyers for approximately $3.2 billion (the “7-Eleven Transaction”). Subsequent to the closing of the 7-Eleven Transaction, previously eliminated wholesale motor fuel sales to the Partnership's retail locations are reported as wholesale motor fuel sales to third parties. Also, the related accounts receivable from such sales are no longer eliminated from the consolidated balance sheets and are reported as accounts receivable.
In connection with the closing of the transactions contemplated by the 7-Eleven Purchase Agreement, we entered into a Distributor Motor Fuel Agreement dated as of January 23, 2018, as amended (the “Supply Agreement”), with 7-Eleven and SEI Fuel. The Supply Agreement consists of a 15-year take-or-pay fuel supply arrangement. For the period from January 1, 2018 through January 22, 2018, we recorded sales to the sites that were subsequently sold to 7-Eleven of $199 million that were eliminated in consolidation. We received payments on trade receivables from 7-Eleven of $1.1 billion and $1.9 billion during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, and $979 million and $1.6 billion during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively, subsequent to the closing of the sale.
On January 18, 2017, with the assistance of a third-party brokerage firm, we launched a portfolio optimization plan to market and
sell 97 real estate assets. Real estate assets included in this process are company-owned locations, undeveloped greenfield sites and other excess real estate. Properties are located in Florida, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Texas and Virginia. The properties will be sold through a sealed-bid sale. Of the 97 properties, 51 have been sold and five continue to be marketed by the third-party brokerage firm. Additionally, 32 were sold to 7-Eleven and nine are part of the approximately 207 retail sites located in certain West Texas, Oklahoma and New Mexico markets which are operated by a commission agent. The results of these operations (the real estate optimization assets, together with the 7-Eleven Transaction, the “Retail Divestment”) have been reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented in the consolidated financial statements. All other footnotes present results of the continuing operations.
The Partnership has concluded that it meets the accounting requirements for reporting the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Retail Divestment as discontinued operations.
The Partnership had no assets or liabilities associated with discontinued operations as of June 30, 2019 or December 31, 2018.

2019 Private Offering of Senior Notes
On March 14, 2019, we, our General Partner and Sunoco Finance Corp. (together with the Partnership, the “2027 Notes Issuers”) completed a private offering of $600 million in aggregate principal amount of 6.000% senior notes due 2027 (the “2027 Notes”).
The terms of the 2027 Notes are governed by an indenture dated March 14, 2019, among the 2027 Notes Issuers, certain subsidiaries of the Partnership (the “2027 Notes Guarantors”) and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee. The 2027 Notes will mature on April 15, 2027, and interest on the 2027 Notes is payable semi-annually on April 15 and October 15 of each year, commencing October 15, 2019. The 2027 Notes are senior obligations of the 2027 Notes Issuers and are guaranteed on a senior basis by all of the Partnership’s current subsidiaries (other than Sunoco Finance Corp.) that guarantee its obligations under the 2018 Revolver (as defined below) and certain of its future subsidiaries. The 2027 Notes and guarantees are unsecured and rank equally with all of the 2027 Notes Issuers’ and each 2027 Notes Guarantor’s existing and future senior obligations. The 2027 Notes and guarantees are effectively subordinated to the 2027 Notes Issuers’ and each 2027 Notes Guarantor’s secured obligations, including obligations under the 2018 Revolver (as defined below), to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such obligations, and structurally subordinated to all indebtedness and obligations, including trade payables, of the Partnership’s subsidiaries that do not guarantee the 2027 Notes.
In connection with our issuance of the 2027 Notes, we entered into a registration rights agreement with the initial purchasers pursuant to which we agreed to complete an offer to exchange the 2027 Notes for an issue of registered notes with terms substantively identical to the 2027 Notes and evidencing the same indebtedness as the 2027 Notes on or before March 14, 2020. The exchange offer was completed on July 17, 2019.
The Partnership used the proceeds from the private offering to repay a portion of the outstanding borrowings under our 2018 Revolver (as defined below).
Revolving Credit Agreement
On July 27, 2018, we entered into a new Amended and Restated Credit Agreement among the Partnership, as borrower, the lenders from time to time party thereto and Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, collateral agent, swingline lender and a line of credit issuer (the “2018 Revolver”). Borrowings under the 2018 Revolver were used to pay off the Partnership’s previous revolving credit facility.
As of June 30, 2019, the balance on the 2018 Revolver was $117 million, and $8 million in standby letters of credit were outstanding. The unused availability on the 2018 Revolver at June 30, 2019 was $1.4 billion. The weighted average interest rate on the total amount outstanding at June 30, 2019 was 4.41%. The Partnership was in compliance with all financial covenants at June 30, 2019.
Fair Value of Debt
 The estimated fair value of debt is calculated using Level 2 inputs. The fair value of debt as of June 30, 2019 is estimated to be approximately $3.1 billion, based on outstanding balances as of the end of the period using current interest rates for similar securities.

Related-Party Transactions
We are party to fee-based commercial agreements with various affiliates of ETO for pipeline, terminalling and storage services. We also have agreements with subsidiaries of ETO for the purchase and sale of fuel. In addition, we are party to two related products purchase agreements, one with Philadelphia Energy Solutions Refining & Marketing (“PES”) and one with PES’s product financier, Merrill Lynch Commodities; both purchase agreements contain 12-month terms that automatically renew for consecutive 12-month terms until either party cancels with notice. ETP Retail Holdings, LLC, a subsidiary of ETO, owns a noncontrolling interest in the parent of PES. Beginning in the third quarter of 2018, PES was no longer considered an affiliate of ETO as ETO was no longer considered to have any significant influence over PES’s management or operations. In June 2019, an explosion occurred at the PES refinery complex. On July 21, 2019, PES Holdings, LLC and seven of its subsidiaries, including PES (collectively, the "Debtors") filed voluntary petitions in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware seeking relief under the provisions of Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code, as a result of the explosion and fire at the Philadelphia refinery complex. The Debtors have announced an intent to temporarily cease refinery operations. The Debtors have expressed an intent to rebuild the refinery with the proceeds of insurance claims while concurrently running a sale process for its assets and operations. We have been successful at acquiring alternative supplies to replace fuel volume lost from PES and do not anticipate any material impact to our business going forward.
Summary of Transactions
Significant affiliate balances and activity related to the Consolidated Balance Sheets and Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) are as follows:
Net advances from affiliates were $80 million and $24 million as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. Advances from affiliates are primarily related to the treasury services agreements between Sunoco LLC and Sunoco (R&M), LLC and Sunoco Retail and Sunoco (R&M), LLC, which are in place for purposes of cash management.
Net accounts receivable from affiliates were $2 million and $37 million as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, which are primarily related to motor fuel sales to affiliates.
Net accounts payable to affiliates were $24 million and $149 million as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, which are related to operational expenses.
Motor fuel sales to affiliates were $0.3 million and $10 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
Motor fuel sales to affiliates were $1 million and $22 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
Bulk fuel purchases from affiliates were $103 million and $887 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, which is included in the cost of sales in our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss).
Bulk fuel purchases from affiliates were $282 million and $1.7 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, which is included in the cost of sales in our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss).

Contract Balances with Customers
The balances of receivables from contracts with customers listed in the table below include both current trade receivables and long-term receivables, net of allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance for receivables represents our best estimate of the probable losses associated with potential customer defaults. We determine the allowance based on historical experience and on a specific identification basis.
The balances of the Partnership’s contract assets and contract liabilities as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 are as follows:

The amount of revenue recognized in the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 that was included in the contract liability balance at the beginning of each period was $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively, and $0.2 million and $0.3 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively. This amount of revenue is a result of changes in the transaction price of the Partnership’s contracts with customers. The difference in the opening and closing balances of the contract asset and contract liability primarily results from the timing difference between the Partnership’s performance and the customer’s payment.
Performance Obligations
As of June 30, 2019, the aggregate amount of revenue expected to be recognized related to unsatisfied or partially satisfied franchise fee performance obligations (contract liabilities) is approximately $0.1 million for the remainder of 2019, $0.2 million in 2020, $0.1 million in 2021, and $0.1 million thereafter.
Costs to Obtain or Fulfill a Contract
The Partnership recognizes an asset from the costs incurred to obtain a contract (e.g. sales commissions) only if it expects to recover those costs. On the other hand, the costs to fulfill a contract are capitalized if the costs are specifically identifiable to a contract, would result in enhancing resources that will be used in satisfying performance obligations in future, and are expected to be recovered. These capitalized costs are recorded as a part of other current assets and other non-current assets and are amortized as a reduction of revenue on a systematic basis consistent with the pattern of transfer of the goods or services to which such costs relate. The amount of amortization on these capitalized costs that the Partnership recognized was $4 million and $8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, and $3 million and $6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively. The Partnership has also made

11


a policy election of expensing the costs to obtain a contract, as and when they are incurred, in cases where the expected amortization period is one year or less.
12.
Commitments and Contingencies
Litigation
We have at various points and may in the future become involved in various legal proceedings arising out of our operations in the normal course of business. These proceedings would be subject to the uncertainties inherent in any litigation, and we regularly assess the need for accounting recognition or disclosure of these contingencies. We would expect to defend ourselves vigorously in all such matters. 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.
Lessee Accounting
The Partnership leases retail stores, other property, and equipment under non-cancellable operating leases whose initial terms are typically 5 to 15 years, with some having a term of 40 years or more, along with options that permit renewals for additional periods. At the inception of each, we determine if the arrangement is a lease or contains an embedded lease and review the facts and circumstances of the arrangement to classify leased assets as operating or finance under Topic 842. The Partnership has elected not to record any leases with terms of 12 months or less on the balance sheet.
At this time, the majority of active leases within our portfolio are classified as operating leases under the new standard. Operating leases are included in lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, other current liabilities, and operating lease liabilities in our consolidated balance sheet. Finance leases represent a small portion of the active lease agreements and are included in ROU assets, other current liabilities, and other long-term liabilities in our consolidated balance sheet. The ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make minimum lease payments arising from the lease for the duration of the lease term.
Most leases include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term from one to 20 years or greater. The exercise of lease renewal options is typically at our discretion. Additionally many leases contain early termination clauses, however early termination typically requires the agreement of both parties to the lease. At lease inception, all renewal options reasonably certain to be exercised are considered when determining the lease term. At this time, the Partnership does not have leases that include options to purchase or automatic transfer of ownership of the leased property to the Partnership. The depreciable life of leased assets and leasehold improvements are limited by the expected lease term.
To determine the present value of future minimum lease payments, we use the implicit rate when readily determinable. At this time, many of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, therefore to determine the present value of minimum lease payments we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at lease commencement date. The ROU assets also include any lease payments made and exclude lease incentives.
Minimum rent payments are expensed on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. In addition, some leases may require additional contingent or variable lease payments based on factors specific to the individual agreement. Variable lease payments we are typically responsible for include payment of real estate taxes, maintenance expenses and insurance.

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 (benefit) is as follows:

Partners' Capital
As of June 30, 2019, ETO and its subsidiaries owned 28,463,967 common units, which constitutes 34.4% of our outstanding common units, and the public owned 54,285,366 common units. As of June 30, 2019, our consolidated subsidiaries owned all of the 16,410,780 Class C units representing limited partner interests in the Partnership (the “Class C Units”).

Common Units
The change in our outstanding common units for the six months ended June 30, 2019 is as follows: 
 
Number of Units
Number of common units at December 31, 2018
82,665,057

Allocation of Net Income
Our Partnership Agreement contains provisions for the allocation of net income and loss to the unitholders. For purposes of maintaining partner capital accounts, the Partnership Agreement specifies that items of income and loss shall be allocated among the partners in accordance with their respective percentage interest. Normal allocations according to percentage interests are made after giving effect to incentive cash distributions, which are allocated 100% to ETO.
 
The calculation of net income allocated to the partners is as follows (in millions):

Segment Reporting
Our financial statements reflect two reportable segments, fuel distribution and marketing and all other. After the Retail Divestment and the conversion of 207 retail sites to commission agent sites, the Partnership renamed the former Wholesale segment to Fuel Distribution and Marketing and the former Retail segment was renamed to All Other.
We report Adjusted EBITDA by segment as a measure of segment performance. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income before net interest expense, income tax expense and depreciation, amortization and accretion expense, non-cash compensation expense, gains and losses on disposal of assets and impairment charges, unrealized gains and losses on commodity derivatives, inventory adjustments, and certain other operating expenses reflected in net income that we do not believe are indicative of ongoing core operations.
The following tables present financial information by segment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
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 our Partnership is contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K including the audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018.
Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow, as adjusted are non-GAAP financial measures of performance that have limitations and should not be considered as a substitute for net income or cash provided by (used in) operating activities. Please see “Key Measures Used to Evaluate and Assess Our Business” below for a discussion of our use of Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow, as adjusted in this “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and a reconciliation to net income for the periods presented.
Forward-Looking Statements
This report, including without limitation, our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations, and any information incorporated by reference, contains statements that we believe are “forward-looking statements”. These forward-looking statements generally can be identified by use of phrases such as “believe,” “plan,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “forecast” or other similar words or phrases. Descriptions of our objectives, goals, targets, plans, strategies, costs, anticipated capital expenditures, expected cost savings and benefits are also forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based on our current plans and expectations and involve a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results and events to vary materially from the results and events anticipated or implied by such forward-looking statements, including:
our ability to make, complete and integrate acquisitions from affiliates or third-parties;
business strategy and operations of Energy Transfer Operating, L.P. and Energy Transfer LP and their respective conflicts of interest with us;
changes in the price of and demand for the motor fuel that we distribute and our ability to appropriately hedge any motor fuel we hold in inventory;
our dependence on limited principal suppliers;
competition in the wholesale motor fuel distribution and retail store industry;
changing customer preferences for alternate fuel sources or improvement in fuel efficiency;
changes in our credit rating, as assigned by rating agencies;
a deterioration in the credit and/or capital markets;
environmental, tax and other federal, state and local laws and regulations;
the fact that we are not fully insured against all risks incident to our business;
dangers inherent in the storage and transportation of motor fuel;
our ability to manage growth and/or control costs;
our reliance on senior management, supplier trade credit and information technology; and
our partnership structure, which may create conflicts of interest between us and Sunoco GP LLC, our general partner (“General Partner”), and its affiliates, and limits the fiduciary duties of our General Partner and its affiliates.
All forward-looking statements are expressly qualified in their entirety by the foregoing cautionary statements.
For a discussion of these and other risks and uncertainties, please refer to “Item 1A. Risk Factors” included herein, and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. The list of factors that could affect future performance and the accuracy of forward-looking statements is illustrative but by no means exhaustive. Accordingly, all forward-looking statements should be evaluated with the understanding of their inherent uncertainty. The forward-looking statements included in this report are based on, and include, our estimates as of the filing of this report. We anticipate that subsequent events and market developments will cause our estimates to change. However, while we may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, we specifically disclaim any obligation to do so except as required by law, even if new information becomes available in the future.
Overview
As used in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, the terms “Partnership,” “SUN,” “we,” “us,” or “our” should be understood to refer to Sunoco LP and our consolidated subsidiaries, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

We are a Delaware master limited partnership primarily engaged in the distribution of motor fuels to independent dealers, distributors, and other customers and the distribution of motor fuels to end customers at retail sites operated by commission agents. In addition, we receive rental income through the leasing or subleasing of real estate used in the retail distribution of motor fuels. We also operate 75 retail stores located in Hawaii and New Jersey.
We are managed by Sunoco GP LLC, our General Partner. As of June 30, 2019, Energy Transfer Operating, L.P. (“ETO”), a consolidated subsidiary of Energy Transfer LP (“ET”), owned 100% of the membership interests in our General Partner, all of our incentive distribution rights and approximately 34.4% of our common units, which constitutes a 28.7% limited partner interest in us.
We believe we are one of the largest independent motor fuel distributors by gallons in the United States and one of the largest distributors of Chevron, Exxon, and Valero branded motor fuel in the United States. In addition to distributing motor fuel, we also distribute other petroleum products such as propane and lubricating oil.
We purchase motor fuel primarily from independent refiners and major oil companies and distribute it across more than 30 states throughout the East Coast, Midwest, South Central and Southeast regions of the United States, as well as Hawaii to:
75 company-owned and operated retail stores;
551 independently operated commission agent locations where we sell motor fuel to retail customers under commission arrangements with such operators;
6,726 retail stores operated by independent operators, which we refer to as “dealers” or “distributors,” pursuant to long-term distribution agreements; and
2,441 other commercial customers, including unbranded retail stores, other fuel distributors, school districts, municipalities and other industrial customers.
As of June 30, 2019, we operated 75 retail stores. Our retail stores operate under several brands, including our proprietary brands APlus and Aloha Island Mart, and offer a broad selection of food, beverages, snacks, grocery and non-food merchandise, motor fuels and other services.
Recent Developments
On July 1, 2019, we entered into a joint venture on a diesel fuel pipeline to West Texas. ETO will operate the pipeline for the joint venture, which will transport diesel fuel from Hebert, Texas to a terminal in the Midland, Texas area. The pipeline is expected to have an initial capacity of 30,000 barrels per day and was successfully commissioned in August 2019.
On May 31, 2019, we completed the previously announced divestiture to Attis Industries Inc. (NASDAQ: ATIS) (“Attis”) of our ethanol plant, including the grain malting operation, in Fulton, New York. As part of the transaction, we entered into a 10-year ethanol offtake agreement with Attis. Total consideration for the divestiture was $20 million in cash plus certain working capital adjustments.
On March 11, 2019, we completed a private offering of $600 million in aggregate principal amount of 6.000% senior notes due 2027. We used the proceeds to repay a portion of the outstanding borrowings under our 2018 Revolver.
On January 18, 2019, we acquired certain convenience store locations from Speedway LLC for approximately $5 million plus working capital adjustments. We subsequently converted the acquired convenience store locations to commission agent locations.
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:
Motor fuel gallons sold. One of the primary drivers of our business is the total volume of motor fuel sold through our channels. Fuel distribution contracts with our customers generally provide that we distribute motor fuel at a fixed, volume-based profit margin or at an agreed upon level of price support. As a result, gross profit is directly tied to the volume of motor fuel that we distribute. Total motor fuel gross profit dollars earned from the product of gross profit per gallon and motor fuel gallons sold are used by management to evaluate business performance.
Gross profit per gallon. Gross profit per gallon is calculated as the gross profit on motor fuel (excluding non-cash inventory adjustments) divided by the number of gallons sold, and is typically expressed as cents per gallon. Our gross profit per gallon varies amongst our third-party relationships and is impacted by the availability of certain discounts and rebates from suppliers. Retail gross profit per gallon is heavily impacted by volatile pricing and intense competition from retail stores, supermarkets, club stores and other retail formats, which varies based on the market.
Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow, as adjusted. Adjusted EBITDA, as used throughout this document, is defined as earnings before net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, amortization and accretion expense, allocated non-cash compensation expense, unrealized gains and losses on commodity derivatives and inventory adjustments, and certain other

20


operating expenses reflected in net income that we do not believe are indicative of ongoing core operations, such as gain or loss on disposal of assets and non-cash impairment charges. We define Distributable Cash Flow, as adjusted, as Adjusted EBITDA less cash interest expense, including the accrual of interest expense related to our long-term debt which is paid on a semi-annual basis, Series A Preferred distribution, current income tax expense, maintenance capital expenditures and other non-cash adjustments.
Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow, as adjusted are non-GAAP financial measures. For a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow, as adjusted to their most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, read “Key Operating Metrics” below.
We believe Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow, as adjusted 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, and assess our ability to make distributions to our unitholders and our debt service capabilities;
our management uses them for internal planning purposes, including aspects of our consolidated operating budget, and capital expenditures; and
Distributable Cash Flow, as adjusted provides useful information to investors as it is a widely accepted financial indicator used by investors to compare partnership performance, and as it provides investors an enhanced perspective of the operating performance of our assets and the cash our business is generating.
Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow, as adjusted 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. Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow, as adjusted 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 Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect cash requirements for such replacements; and
as not all companies use identical calculations, our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow, as adjusted may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.
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.
Key operating metrics set forth below are presented as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 and have been derived from our historical consolidated financial statements.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2019 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2018
The following discussion of results compares the operations for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018.
Segment Adjusted EBITDA. Total segment adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended June 30, 2019 was $152 million, an increase of $12 million from the three months ended June 30, 2018. The increase is primarily attributable to the following changes:
a decrease in operating costs of $21 million, primarily as a result of lower salaries and benefits, maintenance, utilities, property tax and environmental expenses. In addition, the prior period included $7 million of acquisition costs. These expenses include other operating expense, general and administrative expense and lease expense; offset by
a decrease in the gross profit on motor fuel sales of $5 million, primarily due to a 8.3%, or $0.008, decrease in cents per gallons sold primarily as a result of a $8 million one-time charge related to a reserve for an open contractual dispute;
a decrease in non motor fuel sales gross profit of $4 million.
Depreciation, Amortization and Accretion. Depreciation, amortization and accretion was $47 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019, an increase of $6 million from the three months ended June 30, 2018. The increase is primarily due to an increase in amortization expense during the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018. This increase is primarily attributable to intangible assets related to acquisitions made during fiscal year 2018.
Interest Expense. Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2019 was $43 million, an increase of $7 million from the three months ended June 30, 2018. This increase is primarily attributable to an increase in total long-term debt.
Non-Cash Compensation Expense. Non-cash compensation expense was $3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and three months ended June 30, 2018.
Loss on Disposal of Assets and Impairment Charges. Loss on disposal of assets and impairment charges for the three months ended June 30, 2019 is primarily attributable to a $3 million loss on the sale of our ethanol plant in Fulton, New York. Loss on disposal of assets and impairment charges for the three months ended June 30, 2018 was primarily attributable to the divestment of 1,030 company-operated fuel sites to 7-Eleven on January 23, 2018.
Loss on extinguishment of debt and other, net. Loss on extinguishment of debt and other for the three months ended June 30, 2019 was $6 million net gain.
Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2019 was $5 million, a change of $24 million from income tax benefit of $19 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018. This change is primarily attributable to the tax impact of the divestment of 1,030 company-operated fuel sites to 7-Eleven on January 23, 2018.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2019 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2018
The following discussion of results compares the operations for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018.
Segment Adjusted EBITDA. Total segment adjusted EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was $305 million, an increase of $56 million from the six months ended June 30, 2018. The increase is primarily attributable to the following changes:
a decrease in the gross profit on motor fuel sales of $13 million, primarily due to a 7.0%, or $0.007, decrease in cents per gallons sold as a result of the change in mix of gallons sold from higher gross profit company-operated fuel sites to supplying lower gross profit fuel distribution and marketing gallons as a result of the divestment of 1,030 company-operated fuel sites to 7-Eleven on January 23, 2018 and a $8 million one-time charge related to a reserve for an open contractual dispute;
a decrease in non motor fuel sales gross profit of $38 million, primarily related to lower merchandise gross profit as a result of the divestment of 1,030 company-operated fuel sites to 7-Eleven on January 23, 2018 and the conversion of 207 retail sites to commission agent sites during April 2018; offset by
a decrease in operating costs of $107 million, as a result of the divestment of 1,030 company-operated fuel sites to 7-Eleven on January 23, 2018 and the conversion of 207 retail sites to commission agent sites during April 2018. These expenses include other operating expense, general and administrative expense and lease expense.
Depreciation, Amortization and Accretion. Depreciation, amortization and accretion was $92 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, a increase of $2 million from the six months ended June 30, 2018. This increase is primarily attributable to an increase in amortization expense. The amortization increase is primarily attributable to intangible assets related to acquisitions made during fiscal year 2018.
Interest Expense. Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was $85 million, an increase of $13 million from the six months ended June 30, 2018. This increase is primarily attributable to an increase in total long-term debt.
Non-Cash Compensation Expense. Non-cash compensation expense was $6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018.
Loss on Disposal of Assets and Impairment Charges. Loss on disposal of assets and impairment charges for the six months ended June 30, 2019 is primarily attributable to a $47 million write-down on assets held for sale and a $3 million loss on disposal of assets related to our ethanol plant in Fulton, New York. Loss on disposal of assets and impairment charges for the six months ended June 30, 2018 was primarily attributable to the divestment of 1,030 company-operated fuel sites to 7-Eleven on January 23, 2018.
Loss on extinguishment of debt and other, net. Loss on extinguishment of debt and other for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was $3 million gain, a change of $132 million loss from the six months ended June 30, 2018 which was primarily attributable to a $126 million loss recognized from the redemption of our senior notes during the six months ended June 30, 2018.
Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was $3 million, a decrease of $182 million from income tax expense of $185 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. This change is primarily attributable to the tax impact of the divestment of 1,030 company-operated fuel sites to 7-Eleven on January 23, 2018.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity
Our principal liquidity requirements are to finance current operations, to fund capital expenditures, including acquisitions from time to time, to service our debt and to make distributions. We expect our ongoing sources of liquidity to include cash generated from operations, borrowings under our revolving credit facility and the issuance of additional long-term debt or partnership units as appropriate given market conditions. We expect that these sources of funds will be adequate to provide for our short-term and long-term liquidity needs.
Our ability to meet our debt service obligations and other capital requirements, including capital expenditures and acquisitions, will depend on our future operating performance which, in turn, will be subject to general economic, financial, business, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other conditions, many of which are beyond our control. As a normal part of our business, depending on market conditions, we will from time to time consider opportunities to repay, redeem, repurchase or refinance our indebtedness. Changes in our operating plans, lower than anticipated sales, increased expenses, acquisitions or other events may cause us to seek additional debt or equity financing in future periods. There can be no guarantee that financing will be available on acceptable terms or at all. Debt financing, if available, could impose additional cash payment obligations and additional covenants and operating restrictions. In addition, any of the items discussed in detail under “Item 1A. Risk Factors” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 may also significantly impact our liquidity.
As of June 30, 2019, we had $36 million of cash and cash equivalents on hand and borrowing capacity of $1.4 billion under the 2018 Revolver. The Partnership was in compliance with all financial covenants at June 30, 2019. Based on our current estimates, we

27


expect to utilize capacity under the 2018 Revolver, along with cash from operations, to fund our announced growth capital expenditures and working capital needs for 2019; however, we may issue debt or equity securities prior to that time as we deem prudent to provide liquidity for new capital projects or other partnership purposes.

Cash Flows Provided by Operating Activities - Continuing Operations. Our daily working capital requirements fluctuate within each month, primarily in response to the timing of payments for motor fuels, motor fuels tax and rent. Net cash provided by operations was $184 million and $255 million for the six months of 2019 and 2018, respectively. The decrease in cash flows provided by operations was primarily due to changes in operating assets and liabilities of $80 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018; partially offset by a $9 million increase in cash basis net income compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018.
Cash Flows Used in Investing Activities - Continuing Operations. Net cash used in investing activities was $35 million and $143 million for the first six months of 2019 and 2018, respectively. Capital expenditures were $57 million and $32 million for the first six months of 2019 and 2018, respectively. Acquisitions were $0 million and $114 million for the first six months of 2019 and 2018, respectively.
Cash Flows Used in Financing Activities - Continuing Operations. Net cash used in financing activities was $169 million and $2.9 billion for the first six months of 2019 and 2018, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, we:
issued $600 million of 6.000% Senior Notes due 2027;
borrowed $1.1 billion and repaid $1.6 billion under our 2018 Revolver to fund daily operations; and
paid $175 million in distributions to our unitholders, of which $82 million was paid to ETO.
We intend to pay cash distributions to the holders of our common units and Class C units representing limited partner interests in the Partnership (“Class C Units”) on a quarterly basis, to the extent we have sufficient cash from our operations after establishment of cash reserves and payment of fees and expenses, including payments to our General Partner and its affiliates. Class C unitholders receive distributions at a fixed rate equal to $0.8682 per quarter for each Class C Unit outstanding. There is no guarantee that we will pay a distribution on our units. On July 25, 2019, we declared a quarterly distribution totaling $68 million, or $0.8255 per common unit based on the results for the three months ended June 30, 2019, excluding distributions to Class C unitholders. The declared distribution will be paid on August 14, 2019 to unitholders of record on August 6, 2019.
Capital Expenditures
Included in our capital expenditures for the first six months of 2019 was $10 million in maintenance capital and $47 million in growth capital. Growth capital relates primarily to dealer supply contracts.
Excluding acquisitions, we currently expect to spend approximately $100 million on growth capital and approximately $40 million on maintenance capital for the full year 2019.
Contractual Obligations and Commitments
Contractual Obligations. We have contractual obligations that are required to be settled in cash. As of June 30, 2019, we have $117 million borrowed on the 2018 Revolver compared to $700 million borrowed on the 2018 Revolver at December 31, 2018. Further, as of June 30, 2019, we had $2.8 billion outstanding under our Senior Notes. See Note 8 in the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on our debt transactions.
We periodically enter into derivatives, such as futures and options, to manage our fuel price risk on inventory in the distribution system. Fuel hedging positions are not significant to our operations. We had 437 positions, representing 18 million gallons, outstanding at June 30, 2019 with an aggregated unrealized loss of $1.2 million.

Properties. Most of our leases are net leases requiring us to pay taxes, insurance and maintenance costs. We believe that no individual site is material to us. The following table summarizes the number of owned and leased properties as of June 30, 2019:

Estimates and Critical Accounting Policies
We prepare our consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Critical accounting policies are those we believe are both most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations, and require our most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. Judgments and uncertainties affecting the application of those policies may result in materially different amounts being reported under different conditions or using different assumptions. Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 in the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Interest Rate Risk
We are subject to market risk from exposure to changes in interest rates based on our financing, investing and cash management activities. We had $117 million outstanding borrowings on the 2018 Revolver as of June 30, 2019. The annualized effect of a one percentage point change in floating interest rates on our variable rate debt obligations outstanding at June 30, 2019 would be a $1 million change to interest expense. Our primary exposure relates to:
interest rate risk on short-term borrowings; and
the impact of interest rate movements on our ability to obtain adequate financing to fund future acquisitions.

While we cannot predict or manage our ability to refinance existing debt or the impact interest rate movements will have on our existing debt, management evaluates our financial position on an ongoing basis. From time to time, we may enter into interest rate swaps to reduce the impact of changes in interest rates on our floating rate debt. We had no interest rate swaps in effect during the first six months of 2019 or 2018.
Commodity Price Risk
Aloha has terminals on all four major Hawaiian Islands that hold purchased fuel until it is delivered to customers (typically over a two to three week period). Commodity price risks relating to this inventory are not currently hedged. The terminal inventory balance was $24 million at June 30, 2019.
Sunoco LLC holds working inventories of refined petroleum products, renewable fuels, gasoline blendstocks and transmix in storage. As of June 30, 2019, Sunoco LLC held approximately $353 million of such inventory. While in storage, volatility in the market price of stored motor fuel could adversely impact the price at which we can later sell the motor fuel. However, Sunoco LLC uses futures, forwards and other derivative instruments to hedge a variety of price risks relating to deviations in that inventory from a target base operating level established by management. Derivative instruments utilized consist primarily of exchange-traded futures contracts traded on the NYMEX, CME and ICE as well as over-the-counter transactions (including swap agreements) entered into with established financial institutions and other credit-approved energy companies. Sunoco LLC’s policy is generally to purchase only products for which there is a market and to structure sales contracts so that price fluctuations do not materially affect profit. Sunoco LLC also engages in controlled trading in accordance with specific parameters set forth in a written risk management policy. While these derivative instruments represent economic hedges, they are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes.
On a consolidated basis, the Partnership had 437 positions, representing 18 million gallons with an aggregate unrealized loss of $1.2 million outstanding at June 30, 2019.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As required by paragraph (b) of Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has concluded, as of the end of the period covered by this report, that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level for which they were designed in that the information required to be disclosed by the Partnership in the reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a–15(f) or Rule 15d–15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during the three months ended June 30, 2019 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
Although we may, from time to time, be involved in litigation and claims arising out of our operations in the normal course of business, we do not believe that we are party to any litigation that will have a material adverse impact.

There have been no material changes from the risk factors described in Part I - Item 1A in the Partnership’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 22, 2019.

Exhibit 3.1

AMENDMENT NO. 7
TO
FIRST AMENDED AND RESTATED AGREEMENT
OF LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
OF SUNOCO LP

August 6, 2019

This Amendment No. 7 (this “Amendment No. 7”) to the First Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of Sunoco LP (the “Partnership”), dated as of September 25, 2012, as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto dated as of October 27, 2014, Amendment No. 2 thereto dated as of July 31, 2015, Amendment No. 3 thereto dated as of January 1, 2016, Amendment No. 4 thereto dated as of June 6, 2016, Amendment No. 5 thereto dated as of March 30, 2017 and Amendment No. 6 thereto dated as of May 8, 2018 (as so amended, the “Partnership Agreement”) is hereby adopted effective as of August 6, 2019 by Sunoco GP LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “General Partner”), as general partner of the Partnership. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meaning given such terms in the Partnership Agreement.
RECITALS
WHEREAS, Section 13.1(d) of the Partnership Agreement provides that the General Partner, without the approval of any Partner, may amend any provision of the Partnership Agreement to reflect a change that the General Partner determines (i) does not adversely affect the Limited Partners (including any particular class of Partnership Interests as compared to other classes of Partnership Interests) in any material respect or (ii) is necessary or appropriate to satisfy any requirements, conditions or guidelines contained in any opinion, directive, order, ruling or regulation of any federal or state agency or judicial authority or contained in any federal or state statute (including the Delaware Act), and the General Partner has determined this Amendment No. 7 satisfies both such conditions.
NOW, THEREFORE, the General Partner does hereby amend the Partnership Agreement as follows:
Section 1.    Amendment.
(a)     Section 1.1 of the Partnership Agreement is hereby amended by adding or amending and restating the following definitions, as stated herein below, in the appropriate alphabetical order:
Designated Individual” has the meaning assigned to such term in Section 9.3.
Indemnitee” means (a) any General Partner, (b) any Departing General Partner, (c) any Person who is or was an Affiliate of the General Partner or any Departing General Partner, (d) any Person who is or was a manager, managing member, general partner, director, officer, employee, agent, fiduciary or trustee of any Group Member, a General Partner, any Departing General Partner or any of their respective Affiliates, (e) the Partnership Representative and the Designated Individual, (f) any Person who is or was serving at the request of a General Partner, any Departing General Partner or any of their respective Affiliates as an officer, director, manager, managing member, general partner, employee, agent, fiduciary or trustee of another Person owing a fiduciary or similar duty to any Group Member; provided that a Person shall not be an Indemnitee by reason of providing, on a fee-for-services basis, trustee, fiduciary or custodial services, (g) any Person who controls a General Partner or Departing General Partner and (h) any Person the General Partner designates as an “Indemnitee” for purposes of this Agreement because such Person’s service, status or relationship exposes such Person to potential claims, demands, actions, suits or proceedings relating to the Partnership Group’s business and affairs.
Partnership Representative” has the meaning assigned to such term in Section 9.3.
(b)    Section 9.3 of the Partnership Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
“Section 9.3    Tax Controversies.
Subject to the provisions hereof and for Partnership taxable years beginning before or on December 31, 2017, the General Partner shall designate the Organizational Limited Partner, or such other Partner as the General Partner shall designate, as the Tax Matters Partner (as defined in the Code) and is authorized and required to represent the Partnership (at the Partnership’s expense) in connection with all examinations of the Partnership’s affairs by tax authorities, including resulting administrative and judicial





proceedings, and to expend Partnership funds for professional services and costs associated therewith. Each Partner agrees to cooperate with the General Partner and to do or refrain from doing any or all things reasonably required by the General Partner to conduct such proceedings.
With respect to Partnership taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017, the General Partner shall designate the Organizational Limited Partner, or such other Partner as the General Partner shall designate, as the “partnership representative” in accordance with the rules prescribed pursuant to Section 6223 of the Code (the “Partnership Representative”). The Partnership Representative shall have the authority to designate from time to time a “Designated Individual” to act on behalf of the Partnership Representative, and such Designated Individual shall be subject to replacement by the Partnership Representative in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 301.6223-1. The Partnership Representative, or the Designated Individual, as applicable, shall have the sole authority to act on behalf of the Partnership in connection with all examinations of the Partnership’s affairs by tax authorities, including resulting administrative and judicial proceedings, and to expend Partnership funds for professional services and costs associated therewith. The Partnership Representative or the Designated Individual, as applicable, shall exercise in its sole discretion, any and all authority of the Partnership Representative under the Code, including, without limitation, (i) binding the Partnership and its Partners with respect to tax matters and (ii) determining whether to make any available election under Section 6226 of the Code. Any reasonable, documented cost or expense that the Partnership Representative or the Designated Individual, as applicable, incurs in connection with its duties, including the preparation for or pursuance of administrative or judicial proceedings, shall be paid by the Partnership. Neither the Partnership Representative nor the Designated Individual shall be liable to the Partnership or to its partners for acts or omissions taken or suffered by it in its capacity as either Partnership Representative or Designated Individual, as the case may be, in good faith; provided that such act or omission is not in willful violation of this Agreement and does not constitute fraud or a willful violation of law.
The General Partner shall amend the provisions of this Agreement as appropriate in accordance with Article XIII to reflect the proposal or promulgation of Treasury Regulations implementing the partnership audit, assessment and collection rules adopted by the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015, including any amendments to those rules.”
Section 2.    Except as hereby amended, the Partnership Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.
Section 3.    If any provision or part of a provision of this Amendment No. 7 is or becomes for any reason, invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions and/or parts thereof contained herein shall not be affected thereby and this Amendment No. 7 shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be reformed and construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision, or part of a provision, had never been contained herein, and such provision or part reformed so that it would be valid, legal and enforceable to the maximum extent possible.
Section 4.    This Amendment No. 7 shall be governed by, and interpreted in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, all rights and remedies being governed by such laws without regard to principles of conflicts of laws.

ETC M-A Acquisition LLC
Notes to Financial Statements
(unaudited)
1.
Operations and Organization:
ETC M-A Acquisition LLC, a Delaware limited liability company formed in August 2013, (the “Company”) is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Energy Transfer Operating, L.P. (“ETO”).
2.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:
Basis of Presentation
The financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).
For purposes of these financial statements, the aggregate total of 26,200,809 Sunoco LP common units are presented as the investment in unconsolidated affiliate held by the Company as of June 30, 2019.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash
The Company considers cash and cash equivalents to include liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.
Investment in Unconsolidated Affiliate
The Company owns an interest in Sunoco LP, which is accounted for by the equity method due to the affiliate relationship resulting from both entities being under the common control of ETO. The Company exercises significant influence over, but does not control, the investee’s operating and financial policies.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts recorded for advances to affiliated companies and accrued and other current liabilities in the financial statements approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of the instruments.
3. Investment in Unconsolidated Affiliate:
On March 31, 2019, ETO contributed 15,710,865 Sunoco LP common units to the Company.
As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company’s investment in unconsolidated affiliate consisted of 26,200,809 and 10,489,944 Sunoco LP common units, respectively. The Company's investment represented approximately 32% and 13% of the total outstanding Sunoco LP common units at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.
