Overview
We reported Net Income Attributable to Genesis Energy, L.P. of $42.9 million during the three months ended June 30, 2026 (the "2026 Quarter") compared to Net Loss Attributable to Genesis Energy, L.P. of $0.4 million during the three months ended June 30, 2025 (the "2025 Quarter").
Net Income Attributable to Genesis Energy, L.P. in the 2026 Quarter was impacted by: (i) an increase in operating income from our reportable segments, primarily from our offshore pipeline transportation segment (see "Results of Operations" below for additional details); (ii) a gain on sale of assets of $17.4 million associated with the divestiture of certain non-core natural gas pipeline and platform assets within our offshore pipeline transportation segment; and (iii) an increase in our equity in earnings of equity investees of $6.0 million primarily as a result of an increase in volumes and associated revenue from Poseidon. Additionally, the 2025 Quarter included a loss of $8.9 million primarily due to the premium associated with the redemption of our 2027 Notes in April 2025. These increases were partially offset by: (i) an increase in depreciation and amortization of $7.2 million during the 2026 Quarter (see "Results of Operations" below for additional details); (ii) an increase in interest expense, net of $6.2 million (see "Results of Operations" below for additional details); and (iii) increase in general and administrative expenses of $4.7 million (see "Results of Operations" below for additional details).
Cash flow from operating activities was $180.7 million for the 2026 Quarter compared to $47.0 million for the 2025 Quarter. The increase in cash flow from operating activities is primarily attributable to an increase in Segment Margin in the 2026 Quarter compared to the 2025 Quarter (as discussed further below) and positive changes in working capital in the 2026 Quarter compared to the 2025 Quarter.
Available Cash before Reserves (as defined below in "Non-GAAP Financial Measures") to our common unitholders was $78.3 million for the 2026 Quarter, an increase of $46.1 million, or 143%, from the 2025 Quarter primarily as a result of: (i) an increase in Segment Margin of $33.6 million, which is discussed in more detail below; (ii) a gain on sale of assets of $17.4 million during the 2026 Quarter; and (iii) a decrease in accumulated distributions to our Class A Convertible Preferred unitholders of $4.4 million. Partially offsetting these increases to Available Cash before Reserves was an increase to interest expense, net of $6.2 million during the 2026 Quarter.
Segment Margin (as defined below in "Non-GAAP Financial Measures") was $169.5 million for the 2026 Quarter, an increase of $33.6 million, or 25%, from the 2025 Quarter. A more detailed discussion of our segment results and other costs is included below in "Results of Operations." See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below for additional information on Segment Margin.
Market Update
Management's estimates are based on numerous assumptions about future operations and market conditions, which we believe to be reasonable, but are inherently uncertain. The uncertainties underlying our assumptions could cause our estimates to differ significantly from actual results, including with respect to the duration and severity of the lasting impacts of international conflicts, the result of any economic recession or depression that has occurred or may occur in the future, or the impact of changes in governmental policies (including with respect to tariffs or proposed tariffs, taxes, duties and similar matters affecting international trade) aimed at addressing inflation or other conditions or events, which could cause fluctuations in global economic conditions, including capital and credit markets and commodity prices. We will continue to monitor the current market environment and to the extent conditions deteriorate, we may identify triggering events that may require future evaluations of the recoverability of the carrying value of our long-lived assets, intangible assets and goodwill, which could result in impairment charges that could be material to our results of operations.
Although the ultimate impacts of these international conflicts, changes in governmental policies (including with respect to tariffs or proposed tariffs, taxes, duties and similar matters) and fluctuations in global economic conditions, including capital and credit markets and commodity prices, are still unknown at this time, we believe the fundamentals of our core businesses continue to remain strong, and considering the current industry environment and capital market behavior, we have continued our focus on deleveraging our balance sheet as further explained below in "Liquidity and Capital Resources."
Results of Operations
Revenues and Costs and Expenses
Our revenues for the 2026 Quarter increased $154.6 million, or 41%, from the 2025 Quarter and our total costs and expenses, excluding the gain on sale of assets in the 2026 Quarter, increased $134.4 million, or 43%, between the two periods. The increase in our operating income during the 2026 Quarter is primarily due to an increase in volumes and revenues across our offshore pipeline transportation network (see further discussion below). This increase was partially offset by an increase in depreciation and amortization of $7.2 million and an increase in general and administrative expenses of $4.7 million during the 2026 Quarter (see further discussion below).
A substantial portion of our revenues and costs are derived from our onshore transportation and services segment, which includes the purchase and sale of crude oil in our crude oil marketing business as well as our other onshore refinery-centric operations. Additionally, our revenues and costs are derived from the operations within our offshore pipeline transportation segment and our marine transportation segment. We describe the impact on revenues and costs for each of our businesses in more detail below.
As it relates to our crude oil marketing business, the average closing price for West Texas Intermediate crude oil on the New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX) increased to $95.65 per barrel in the 2026 Quarter as compared to $64.57 per barrel in the 2025 Quarter. We expect changes in crude oil prices to continue to proportionately affect our revenues and costs attributable to our purchase and sale of crude oil, resulting in a minimal direct impact on Net income (loss), Segment Margin and Available Cash before Reserves. We have limited our direct commodity price exposure in our crude oil operations through the broad use of fee-based service contracts, back-to-back purchase and sale arrangements and hedges. As a result, changes in the price of crude oil would proportionately impact both our revenues and our costs, with a disproportionately smaller impact on Net income (loss), Segment Margin and Available Cash before Reserves. However, we do have some indirect exposure to certain changes in prices for crude oil, particularly if they are significant and extended. We tend to experience more demand for certain of our services when prices increase significantly over extended periods of time, and we tend to experience less demand for certain of our services when prices decrease significantly over extended periods of time. For additional information regarding certain of our indirect exposure to commodity prices, see our segment-by-segment analysis below and the section of our Annual Report entitled " Risks Related to Our Business." We also have revenues and costs associated with our other refinery-centric operations including our sulfur services business, which we believe is one of the largest producers and marketers of NaHS in North and South America, and from our other logistical assets including pipelines, trucks, terminals, and rail unloading facilities.
We conduct our offshore crude oil and natural gas pipeline transportation and handling operations in the Gulf of America through our offshore pipeline transportation segment, which focuses on providing a suite of services to integrated and large independent energy companies who make intensive capital investments (often in excess of a billion dollars) to develop large-reservoir, long-lived crude oil and natural gas properties located primarily in offshore Texas, Louisiana and Mississippi. We own interests in various offshore crude oil and natural gas pipeline systems, platforms and related infrastructure and generate cash flows from fees to customers to utilize our assets. Our costs are primarily related to expenses incurred for the maintenance of our assets, employee compensation, and other operating costs. The majority of operating costs in our offshore pipeline transportation segment are not directly correlated with crude oil prices. Given these facts, we do not expect changes in commodity prices to impact our Net income (loss), Segment Margin or Available Cash before Reserves derived from our offshore crude oil and natural gas pipeline transportation and handling operations in the same manner in which they impact our revenues and costs derived from the purchase and sale of crude oil.
Our marine transportation segment consists of (i) our inland marine fleet, which transports intermediate refined petroleum products, including asphalt, principally serving refineries and storage terminals along the Gulf Coast, Intracoastal Canal and western river systems of the U.S., primarily along the Mississippi River and its tributaries; (ii) our offshore marine fleet, which transports crude oil and refined petroleum products, principally serving refineries and storage terminals along the Gulf Coast, Eastern Seaboard, Great Lakes and Caribbean; and (iii) our modern, double-hulled tanker, the M/T American Phoenix. Our revenues are driven by the demand for our barge services and associated utilization of our fleets, as well as the day rates we charge, which can be dependent upon market conditions (including supply and demand in the market), amongst other factors. Our costs are principally related to the costs required to maintain our fleets, employee compensation, and other operating costs. The majority of operating costs in our marine transportation segment are not directly correlated with crude oil prices.
Refiners are the shippers of a majority of the volumes transported on our onshore crude oil pipelines. Additionally, refiners contracted for the majority of the revenues from our marine transportation segment during the 2026 Quarter as the vessels in our marine transportation segment are used primarily to transport intermediate refined products (not crude oil) between refining complexes.
Included below is additional detailed discussion of the results of our operations focusing on Segment Margin and other costs including general and administrative expenses, depreciation and amortization, interest expense, net, and income taxes.
Segment Margin
We define Segment Margin as revenues less product costs, operating expenses and segment general and administrative expenses (all of which are net of the effects of our noncontrolling interest holders), plus or minus applicable Select Items (defined below in "Non-GAAP Financial Measures") from continuing operations. Although we do not necessarily consider all of our Select Items to be non-recurring, infrequent or unusual, we believe that an understanding of these Select Items is important to the evaluation of our core operating results. See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" for further discussion surrounding total Segment Margin.
The contribution of each of our segments to total Segment Margin was as follows:

(1)The increase in operating costs is primarily related to an increase in costs associated with accommodating our higher level of volumes in 2026, such as fuel and drag reducing agent costs, which are often rebilled to the associated producers and do not have a significant impact to our Segment Margin.
(2)Offshore pipeline transportation Segment Margin includes distributions received from our offshore pipeline joint ventures accounted for under the equity method of accounting for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025.
(3)One of our wholly-owned subsidiaries (GEL Offshore Pipeline, LLC, or "GOPL") owns our undivided interest in the Eugene Island pipeline system.
(4)Volumes are the product of our effective ownership interest throughout the period multiplied by the relevant throughput over the given period.
Three Months Ended June 30, 2026 Compared with Three Months Ended June 30, 2025
Offshore pipeline transportation Segment Margin for the 2026 Quarter increased $28.0 million, or 32%, from the 2025 Quarter primarily due to: (i) production volumes associated with the deepwater Shenandoah floating production unit ("FPU"), which ties into our 100% owned SYNC Pipeline for further transportation downstream to our 64% owned CHOPS Pipeline, that began producing in July 2025 (Segment Margin in the 2025 Quarter benefited from one month of contractual minimum volume commitments ("MVC's") that commenced in June 2025); and (ii) production volumes from the Salamanca FPU, which ties into our existing 100% owned SEKCO Pipeline for further transportation downstream on our 64% owned Poseidon Pipeline, that began producing in September 2025.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2026 Compared with Six Months Ended June 30, 2025
Offshore pipeline transportation Segment Margin for the six months ended June 30, 2026 increased $58.6 million, or 36%, from the six months ended June 30, 2025 primarily due to: (i) production volumes associated with the deepwater Shenandoah FPU, which ties into our 100% owned SYNC Pipeline for further transportation downstream to our 64% owned CHOPS Pipeline, that began producing in July 2025 (Segment Margin in the 2025 Quarter benefited from the commencement of contractual MVC's in June 2025); and (ii) production volumes from the Salamanca FPU, which ties into our existing 100% owned SEKCO Pipeline for further transportation downstream on our 64% owned Poseidon Pipeline, that began producing in September 2025.
Activity in and around our Gulf of America asset base continues to be robust. During the first quarter of 2026, a fourth well at the Salamanca FPU was successfully brought online with a fifth well expected to be drilled towards the end of 2026 or early 2027. In addition, the Monument development, a two-well sub-sea tieback to the Shenandoah FPU with production dedicated to our 100% owned SYNC Pipeline for further transportation downstream to our 64% owned CHOPS Pipeline, is expected to have first production in the fourth quarter of 2026.
Marine Transportation Segment
As of June 30, 2026, within our marine transportation segment, we owned a fleet of 87 barges (78 inland and 9 offshore) with a combined transportation capacity of 3.0 million barrels, 43 push/tow boats (33 inland and 10 offshore), and a 330,000 barrel capacity ocean going tanker, the M/T American Phoenix.

(1)Under certain of our marine contracts, we "rebill" our customers for a portion of our operating costs.
(2)Utilization rates are based on a 365-day year, as adjusted for planned downtime and dry-dockings.
Three Months Ended June 30, 2026 Compared with Three Months Ended June 30, 2025
Marine transportation Segment Margin for the 2026 Quarter decreased $4.2 million, or 14%, from the 2025 Quarter primarily due to an increase in planned dry-docking days in our inland and offshore barge businesses during the 2026 Quarter and a slight decrease in average day rates in our inland barge business. In our offshore barge business, revenues for the 2026 Quarter were impacted by several required and planned regulatory dry-dockings, which included our two largest vessels, one of which was completed during the 2026 Quarter, while the other was recently completed in the third quarter of 2026. During the third quarter of 2025, we experienced a decline in our inland barge day rates due to a decrease in Midwest refinery demand for black oil equipment as a result of changing crude slates. Inland barge day rates have recovered at a slower pace than anticipated, and rates in the 2026 Quarter did not reach the levels we saw in the 2025 Quarter. These decreases in Segment Margin were partially offset by a higher contractual rate on our M/T American Phoenix during the 2026 Quarter compared to the 2025 Quarter.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2026 Compared with Six Months Ended June 30, 2025
Marine transportation Segment Margin for the six months ended June 30, 2026 decreased $6.3 million, or 10%, from the six months ended June 30, 2025 primarily due to an increase in planned dry-docking days in our inland and offshore barge businesses and a slight decrease in average day rates in our inland barge business. In our offshore barge business, revenues during the first six months of 2026 were impacted by several required and planned regulatory dry-dockings, which included our two largest vessels during the first six months of 2026. During the third quarter of 2025, we experienced a decline in our inland barge day rates due to a decrease in Midwest refinery demand for black oil equipment as a result of changing crude slates. Inland barge day rates have recovered at a slower pace than anticipated, and rates in 2026 have not reached the levels we saw in 2025. These decreases in Segment Margin were partially offset by a contractual rate increase on our M/T American Phoenix during the first six months of 2026 compared to the first six months of 2025.
Onshore Transportation and Services Segment
Our onshore transportation and services segment includes terminaling, blending, storing, and marketing of crude oil, and transporting of crude oil and refined products, as well as the processing of high sulfur (or "sour") gas streams for refineries to remove the sulfur, and selling the related by-product, sodium hydrosulfide (or "NaHS," commonly pronounced "nash"). Our onshore transportation and services segment utilizes an integrated set of pipelines, storage tanks, terminals, facilities, trucks and barges to facilitate the movement of crude oil and refined products on behalf of producers, refiners and other customers. This segment includes crude oil and refined products pipelines, terminals, rail unloading facilities, and refinery processing locations operating primarily within the U.S. Gulf Coast market. In addition, we utilize our trucking fleet that supports the purchase and sale of gathered and bulk-purchased crude oil as well as the sale and delivery of NaHS and NaOH (also known as caustic soda) to customers. Through these assets we offer our customers a full suite of services, including the following as of June 30, 2026:
facilitating the transportation of crude oil and refined products from producers and from our terminals, as well as those owned by third parties, to refineries via pipelines and trucks;
purchasing/selling and/or transporting, storing, and blending crude oil from the wellhead to markets for ultimate use in refining;
purchasing products from refiners, transporting those products to one of our terminals and blending those products to a quality that meets the requirements of our customers, storing, and selling those products (primarily fuel oil, asphalt and other heavy refined products) to wholesale markets;
unloading railcars at our crude-by-rail terminals;
providing sulfur removal services from crude oil processing operations at refining or petrochemical processing facilities;
operating storage and transportation assets in relation to our sulfur removal services; and
selling NaHS and caustic soda to large industrial and commercial companies.
We also may use our terminal facilities to take advantage of contango market conditions for crude oil gathering and marketing and to capitalize on regional opportunities, which arise from time to time for both crude oil and petroleum products.
Despite crude oil being considered a somewhat homogeneous commodity, many refiners are very particular about the quality of crude oil feedstock they process. Many U.S. refineries have distinct configurations and product slates that require crude oil with specific characteristics, such as gravity, sulfur content and metals content. The refineries evaluate the costs to obtain, transport and process their preferred feedstocks. That particularity provides us with opportunities to help the refineries in our areas of operation identify crude oil sources and transport crude oil meeting their requirements. The imbalances and inefficiencies relative to meeting the refiners' requirements may also provide opportunities for us to utilize our purchasing and logistical skills to meet their demands. The pricing in the majority of our crude oil purchase contracts contains a market price component and a deduction to cover the cost of transportation and to provide us with a margin. Contracts sometimes contain a grade differential, which considers the chemical composition of the crude oil and its appeal to different customers. Typically, the pricing in a contract to sell crude oil will consist of the market price components and the grade differentials. The margin on individual transactions is then dependent on our ability to manage our transportation costs and to capitalize on grade differentials.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2026 Compared with Three Months Ended June 30, 2025
Onshore transportation and services Segment Margin for the 2026 Quarter increased $9.8 million, or 53%, from the 2025 Quarter primarily due to an increase in volumes transported on our onshore crude oil pipeline systems and increased activity and volumes in our crude oil marketing business. We experienced an increase in volumes on our Texas pipeline system, which is a key destination point for various grades of crude oil produced in the Gulf of America including those transported on our 64% owned CHOPS Pipeline, and benefited from an increase in refined product volumes at our Baton Rouge terminal. In our sulfur services business, we experienced an increase in Segment Margin in the 2026 Quarter primarily due to an increase in the index-based NaHS sales prices and strong demand from our pulp and paper customers.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2026 Compared with Six Months Ended June 30, 2025
Onshore transportation and services Segment Margin for the six months ended June 30, 2026 increased $16.4 million, or 49%, from the six months ended June 30, 2025 primarily due to an increase in volumes transported on our onshore crude oil pipeline systems and increased activity and volumes in our crude oil marketing business. We experienced an increase in volumes on our Texas pipeline system, which is a key destination point for various grades of crude oil produced in the Gulf of America including those transported on our 64% owned CHOPS Pipeline, and benefited from an increase in refined product volumes at our Baton Rouge terminal. In our sulfur services business, we experienced an increase in Segment Margin in the first six months of 2026 primarily due to an increase in the index-based NaHS sales prices and strong demand from our pulp and paper customers, which were partially offset by a decrease in NaHS sales volumes in the first quarter of 2026 primarily due to operational challenges at our largest and lowest-cost host refinery that were resolved as we exited March 2026.

Total general and administrative expenses for the 2026 Quarter increased by $4.7 million, or 32%, from the 2025 Quarter. This increase is primarily due to an increase in third party costs related to business development activities and growth projects during the 2026 Quarter and an increase in corporate general and administrative expenses.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2026 Compared with Six Months Ended June 30, 2025
Total general and administrative expenses for the first six months of 2026 decreased by $18.4 million, or 33%, from the first six months of 2025. This decrease is primarily due to: (i) a reduction in third party costs related to business development activities and growth projects as the six months ended June 30, 2025 included the transaction costs incurred associated with the sale of the Alkali Business on February 28, 2025; and (ii) a reduction in long-term incentive compensation expense as a result of how we valued the outstanding awards under our long-term incentive compensation plan in each period. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in corporate general and administrative expenses.

Total depreciation and amortization expense for the 2026 Quarter increased $7.2 million, or 13%, from the 2025 Quarter. This increase is primarily attributable to our continued growth and maintenance capital expenditures and placing new assets into service at the end of and subsequent to the 2025 Quarter, including assets associated with our CHOPS expansion project and SYNC Pipeline.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2026 Compared with Six Months Ended June 30, 2025
Total depreciation and amortization expense for the first six months of 2026 increased $10.0 million, or 8.9%, from the first six months of 2025. This increase is primarily attributable to our continued growth and maintenance capital expenditures and placing new assets into service at the end of and subsequent to the 2025 Quarter, including assets associated with our CHOPS expansion project and SYNC Pipeline.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2026 Compared with Three Months Ended June 30, 2025
Interest expense, net for the 2026 Quarter increased $6.2 million, or 10%, from the 2025 Quarter primarily due to a decrease in capitalized interest in the 2026 Quarter as a result of the completion of the CHOPS expansion project and SYNC Pipeline project prior to the 2026 Quarter.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2026 Compared with Six Months Ended June 30, 2025
Interest expense, net for the first six months of 2026 increased $4.1 million, or 3%, from the first six months of 2025 primarily due to: (i) a decrease in capitalized interest during 2026 as a result of the completion of the CHOPS expansion project and SYNC Pipeline project in 2025; (ii) a decrease in interest expense on our senior unsecured notes; and (iii) a reduction in interest expense, net on our senior secured credit facility as a result of a decrease in the average borrowings outstanding during 2026. During the first six months of 2026, the decrease to interest expense on our senior unsecured notes is primarily a result of the redemption of the remaining $406.2 million of principal outstanding on the 2027 Notes on April 3, 2025.
Income tax expense
A portion of our operations are owned by wholly-owned corporate subsidiaries that are taxable as corporations. As a result, a substantial portion of the income tax expense we record relates to the operations of those corporations and will vary from period to period as a percentage of our income before taxes based on the percentage of our income or loss that is derived from those corporations. The balance of the income tax expense we record relates to state taxes imposed on our operations that are treated as income taxes under generally accepted accounting principles and foreign income taxes.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
General
On February 28, 2025 we completed the sale of the Alkali Business to an indirect affiliate of WE Soda Ltd for a gross purchase price of $1.425 billion. We received cash of approximately $1.0 billion, which reflected the net proceeds after the payment of transaction costs and expenses and the assumption of our then outstanding Alkali senior secured notes by an indirect affiliate of WE Soda Ltd. We used the cash proceeds to pay down the outstanding balance on our senior secured credit facility as of February 28, 2025, purchase 7,416,196 Class A Convertible Preferred Units on March 6, 2025 at a purchase price of $35.40 per unit, and redeem the remaining $406.2 million of principal outstanding on the 2027 Notes on April 3, 2025.
On February 3, 2026, we entered into a purchase agreement with one of our Class A Convertible Preferred unitholders whereby we purchased 741,620 Class A Convertible Preferred units at a purchase price of $33.71 per unit.
On March 4, 2026, we entered into the Eighth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement to replace our Seventh Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The credit agreement increased our senior secured credit facility borrowing capacity from $800 million to $900 million and extended the maturity to March 4, 2031, subject to extension at our request for one additional year on up to two occasions and subject to certain conditions, provided that if more than $150 million of our 2029 Notes remain outstanding as of October 16, 2028, the credit agreement matures on such date or if more than $150 million of our 2030 Notes remain outstanding as of January 14, 2030, the credit agreement matures on such date. The credit agreement also provides for additional covenant flexibility and increases our permitted investment baskets, enabling us to maintain a disciplined, yet opportunistic approach to our future capital allocation priorities.
Also on March 4, 2026, we issued $750.0 million in aggregate principal amount of our 2034 Notes. The issuance of our 2034 Notes generated net proceeds of approximately $735.9 million, net of issuance costs incurred. The net proceeds were used to purchase $416.1 million in principal of our 2028 Notes (which carried an interest rate of 7.750%) and pay the accrued interest, tender premium and fees on the notes that were validly tendered in the tender offer that ended March 20, 2026, and redeem the remaining $263.3 million in principal on our 2028 Notes and pay the related accrued interest on those redeemed notes on March 22, 2026.
On March 6, 2026, utilizing the remaining net proceeds from the issuance of our 2034 Notes, along with cash flow from operations and borrowings from the recently expanded capacity on our senior secured credit facility, we entered into a purchase agreement with one of our Class A Convertible Preferred unitholders whereby we opportunistically purchased 3,263,127 Class A Convertible Preferred Units at a purchase price of $34.38 per unit.
On June 3, 2026, we completed the divestiture of certain non-core natural gas pipeline and platform assets in our offshore pipeline transportation segment for total consideration of $95.0 million. We utilized these proceeds to purchase a portion of our outstanding Class A Convertible Preferred Units on June 8, 2026, whereby we entered into a purchase agreement with one of our Class A Convertible Preferred unitholders to purchase 2,454,445 Class A Convertible Preferred units at a purchase price of $34.38 per unit.
The purchases of these Class A Convertible Preferred Units, which carried an annual coupon rate of 11.24%, have allowed us to lower our overall cost of capital. As of June 30, 2026, we had 9,236,530 outstanding Class A Convertible Preferred Units, which is a significant reduction from the balance as of December 31, 2025 to our highest cost of capital instrument.
On June 26, 2026, we entered into a three-year $99.5 million AR Facility whereby we sell, on an on-going basis, certain of the receivables from our wholly-owned subsidiaries, together with the related security and interest in the proceeds, to our wholly-owned subsidiary Genesis AR LLC, a consolidated and bankruptcy-remote special purpose entity created for the sole purpose of transacting under the AR Facility. Our AR Facility bears interest at SOFR plus 1.375%, which reduces our overall cost of capital relative to our other outstanding indebtedness.
The successful completion of the above events has extended our debt maturity profile, with nothing maturing until January 15, 2029, eliminated any near-term refinancing risk, lowered our overall cost of capital and reduced the cash costs of running our businesses significantly, while continuing to simplify and strengthen our capital structure. In addition, we have significant available liquidity for future opportunistic transactions and capital allocation priorities with $894.4 million available for borrowings under our senior secured credit facility at June 30, 2026, subject to compliance with covenants.
We anticipate that our future internally-generated funds and the funds available under our senior secured credit facility will allow us to meet our ordinary course capital needs. Our primary sources of liquidity have been cash flows from operations, proceeds from the sale of assets, borrowing availability under our senior secured credit facility, borrowings from our AR Facility, the proceeds from issuances of equity (common and preferred) and senior unsecured or secured notes and the creation of strategic arrangements to share capital costs through joint ventures or strategic alliances.
Our primary cash requirements consist of:
working capital, primarily inventories and trade receivables and payables;
routine operating expenses;
capital expenditures;
interest payments related to outstanding debt;
asset retirement obligations;
quarterly cash distributions to our preferred and common unitholders; and
acquisitions of assets or businesses.
Capital Resources
Our ability to satisfy future capital needs will depend on our ability to raise additional capital from time to time, including through equity and debt offerings (public and private), borrowings under our senior secured credit facility and other financing transactions, and to implement our growth strategy successfully. No assurance can be made that we will be able to raise necessary funds on satisfactory terms.
At June 30, 2026, the principal amount of long-term debt outstanding totaled $3,150.0 million related to our senior unsecured notes, with no borrowings outstanding under our senior secured credit facility. Our senior unsecured notes balance is comprised of $600.0 million of our 2029 Notes, $500.0 million of our 2030 Notes, $700.0 million of our 7.875% senior unsecured notes due May 15, 2032, $600.0 million of our 8.000% senior unsecured notes due May 15, 2033, and $750.0 million of our 2034 Notes. We also had current borrowings outstanding of $99.5 million under our AR Facility.
The available borrowing capacity under our senior secured credit facility at June 30, 2026 is $894.4 million, subject to compliance with covenants. Our inventory financing sublimit as of June 30, 2026 was $17.1 million of the maximum allowed of $200.0 million. Our credit agreement does not include a "borrowing base" limitation except with respect to our inventory loans.
Shelf Registration Statement
We have the ability to issue additional equity and debt securities in the future to assist us in meeting our future liquidity requirements, particularly those related to opportunistically acquiring assets and businesses, constructing new facilities and refinancing outstanding debt.
We have a universal shelf registration statement (our "2024 Shelf") on file with the SEC which we filed on April 16, 2024 to replace our existing universal shelf registration statement that expired on April 19, 2024. Our 2024 Shelf allows us to issue an unlimited amount of equity and debt securities in connection with certain types of public offerings. However, the receptiveness of the capital markets to an offering of equity and/or debt securities cannot be assured and may be negatively impacted by, among other things, our long-term business prospects and other factors beyond our control, including market conditions. Our 2024 Shelf is set to expire in April 2027.
Cash Flows from Operations
We generally utilize the cash flows we generate from our operations to fund our common and preferred distributions and working capital needs. Excess funds that are generated are used to repay borrowings under our senior secured credit facility or AR Facility and/or to fund our capital expenditures. Our operating cash flows can be impacted by changes in items of working capital, primarily variances in the carrying amount of inventory and the timing of payment of accounts payable and accrued liabilities related to capital expenditures and interest charges, and the timing of accounts receivable collections from our customers.
We typically sell our crude oil in the same month in which we purchase it, so we do not need to rely on borrowings under our senior secured credit facility or AR Facility to pay for such crude oil purchases, other than inventory. During such periods, our accounts receivable and accounts payable generally move in tandem as we make payments and receive payments for the purchase and sale of crude oil.
The storage of our inventory of crude oil and petroleum products can have a material impact on our cash flows from operating activities. In the month we pay for the stored crude oil or petroleum products, we borrow under our senior secured credit facility or AR Facility (or use cash on hand) to pay for the crude oil or petroleum products, utilizing a portion of our operating cash flows. Conversely, cash flow from operating activities increases during the period in which we collect the cash from the sale of the stored crude oil or petroleum products. Additionally, for our exchange-traded derivatives, we may be required to deposit margin funds with the respective exchange when commodity prices increase as the value of the derivatives utilized to hedge the price risk in our inventory fluctuates. These deposits also impact our operating cash flows as we borrow under our senior secured credit facility or AR Facility or use cash on hand to fund the deposits.
See Note 15 in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for information regarding changes in components of operating assets and liabilities during the first six months of 2026 and the first six months of 2025.
Net cash flows provided by our operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2026 were $262.5 million compared to $71.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The increase in cash flows from operating activities is primarily attributable to an increase in our reported Segment Margin and positive changes in working capital in the first six months of 2026 as compared to the first six months of 2025. These increases in cash flows from operating activities for the first six months of 2026 were partially offset by the fact that the first six months of 2025 included activity from the Alkali Business prior to the sale on February 28, 2025.
Capital Expenditures and Distributions Paid to Our Unitholders
We use cash primarily for our operating expenses, working capital needs, debt service, acquisition activities, internal growth projects and distributions we pay to our common and preferred unitholders. We finance maintenance capital expenditures and smaller internal growth projects and distributions primarily with cash generated by our operations. We have historically funded material growth capital projects (including acquisitions and internal growth projects) with borrowings under our senior secured credit facility, equity issuances (common and preferred units), the issuance of senior unsecured or secured notes, and/or the creation of strategic arrangements to share capital costs through joint ventures or strategic alliances.

(2)Excluded from the table above were total capital expenditures of $6.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 associated with our discontinued operations.
Growth Capital Expenditures
During 2025, we completed our two offshore growth capital projects, which included the CHOPS expansion and the SYNC Pipeline projects. With the completion of these significant growth capital projects, and no significant future growth capital projects on the horizon, we do not expect significant growth capital expenditures in 2026. While we are committed to maintaining sufficient financial flexibility and liquidity, we will continue to evaluate any accretive incremental growth opportunities should they opportunistically emerge.
Maintenance Capital Expenditures
Maintenance capital expenditures incurred during the first six months of 2026 and 2025 from our continuing operations primarily related to expenditures in our marine transportation segment to replace and upgrade certain equipment associated with our barge and fleet vessels during our dry-docks. Additionally, our offshore transportation assets require maintenance capital expenditures to replace, maintain and upgrade equipment at certain of our offshore platforms and pipelines that we operate. See further discussion under "Available Cash before Reserves" for how such maintenance capital utilization is reflected in our calculation of Available Cash before Reserves.
Distributions to Unitholders
In April 2026, we declared our quarterly distribution to our common unitholders of $0.18 per unit related to the first quarter of 2026. With respect to our Class A Convertible Preferred Units, we declared a quarterly cash distribution of $0.9473 per Class A Convertible Preferred Unit (or $3.7892 on an annualized basis) for each Class A Convertible Preferred Unit held of record. These distributions were paid on May 15, 2026 to unitholders of record at the close of business on April 30, 2026.
In July 2026, we declared our quarterly distribution to our common unitholders of $0.20 per unit related to the 2026 Quarter. With respect to our Class A Convertible Preferred Units, we declared a quarterly cash distribution of $0.9473 per Class A Convertible Preferred Unit (or $3.7892 on an annualized basis) for each Class A Convertible Preferred Unit held of record. These distributions will be payable on August 14, 2026 to unitholders of record at the close of business on July 31, 2026.
Guarantor Summarized Financial Information
As of June 30, 2026, our $3.2 billion aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes co-issued by Genesis Energy, L.P. and Genesis Energy Finance Corporation are fully and unconditionally guaranteed jointly and severally by the Guarantor Subsidiaries, except for Genesis AR LLC, Genesis AR Holdings LLC and certain other immaterial subsidiaries. Genesis AR LLC, Genesis AR Holdings LLC and the other immaterial non-Guarantor Subsidiaries are indirectly owned by Genesis Crude Oil, L.P., a Guarantor Subsidiary. The Guarantor Subsidiaries largely own the assets, other than accounts receivables sold to Genesis AR LLC, that we use to operate our business. As a general rule, the assets and credit of our unrestricted subsidiaries are not available to satisfy the debts of Genesis Energy, L.P., Genesis Energy Finance Corporation or the Guarantor Subsidiaries, and the liabilities of our unrestricted subsidiaries do not constitute obligations of Genesis Energy, L.P., Genesis Energy Finance Corporation or the Guarantor Subsidiaries. See Note 10 in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding our consolidated debt obligations.
The guarantees are senior unsecured obligations of each Guarantor Subsidiary and rank equally in right of payment with other existing and future senior indebtedness of such Guarantor Subsidiary, and senior in right of payment to all existing and future subordinated indebtedness of such Guarantor Subsidiary. The guarantee of our senior unsecured notes by each Guarantor Subsidiary is subject to certain automatic customary releases, including in connection with the sale, disposition or transfer of all of the capital stock, or of all or substantially all of the assets, of such Guarantor Subsidiary to one or more persons that are not us or a restricted subsidiary, the exercise of legal defeasance or covenant defeasance options, the satisfaction and discharge of the indentures governing our senior unsecured notes, the designation of such Guarantor Subsidiary as a non-Guarantor Subsidiary or as an unrestricted subsidiary in accordance with the indentures governing our senior unsecured notes, the release of such Guarantor Subsidiary from its guarantee under our senior secured credit facility, or liquidation or dissolution of such Guarantor Subsidiary. The obligations of each Guarantor Subsidiary under its note guarantee are limited as necessary to prevent such note guarantee from constituting a fraudulent conveyance under applicable law. We are not restricted from making investments in the Guarantor Subsidiaries and there are no significant restrictions on the ability of the Guarantor Subsidiaries to make distributions to Genesis Energy, L.P.
On June 26, 2026, we entered into the AR Facility. Under the AR Facility, we sell, on an on-going basis, certain of the receivables from our wholly-owned subsidiaries, together with the related security and interest in the proceeds, to our wholly-owned subsidiary Genesis AR LLC, a consolidated and bankruptcy-remote special purpose entity created for the sole purpose of transacting under the AR Facility. Eligible receivables sold to Genesis AR LLC are used to secure the outstanding borrowings under our AR Facility and are not available to satisfy the claims of other creditors. For more information, please see Note 10 in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
The rights of holders of our senior unsecured notes against the Guarantor Subsidiaries may be limited under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or state fraudulent transfer or conveyance law.
The following is the summarized financial information for Genesis Energy, L.P. and the Guarantor Subsidiaries on a combined basis after elimination of intercompany transactions among the Guarantor Subsidiaries (which includes related receivable and payable balances) and the investment in and equity earnings from the non-Guarantor Subsidiaries.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Reconciliations
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
General
To help evaluate our business, this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes the non-generally accepted accounting principle ("non-GAAP") financial measure of Available Cash before Reserves. We also present total Segment Margin as if it were a non-GAAP measure. Our non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies because such measures may include or exclude other specified items. The schedules below provide reconciliations of Available Cash before Reserves to its most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (GAAP). A reconciliation of Income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes to total Segment Margin is included in our segment disclosure in Note 13 to our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, as well as previously in this Item 2. Our non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered (i) as alternatives to GAAP measures of liquidity or financial performance or (ii) as being singularly important in any particular context; they should be considered in a broad context with other quantitative and qualitative information. Our Available Cash before Reserves and total Segment Margin measures are just two of the relevant data points considered from time to time.
When evaluating our performance and making decisions regarding our future direction and actions (including making discretionary payments, such as quarterly distributions) our board of directors and management team have access to a wide range of historical and forecasted qualitative and quantitative information, such as our financial statements; operational information; various non-GAAP measures; internal forecasts; credit metrics; analyst opinions; performance; liquidity and similar measures; income (loss); cash flow expectations for us; and certain information regarding some of our peers. Additionally, our board of directors and management team analyze, and place different weight on, various factors from time to time. We believe that investors benefit from having access to the same financial measures being utilized by management, lenders, analysts and other market participants. We attempt to provide adequate information to allow each individual investor and other external user to reach her/his own conclusions regarding our actions without providing so much information as to overwhelm or confuse such investor or other external user.
Segment Margin
We define Segment Margin as revenues less product costs, operating expenses, and segment general and administrative expenses (all of which are net of the effects of our noncontrolling interest holders), plus or minus applicable Select Items (defined below) from our continuing operations. Although we do not necessarily consider all of our Select Items to be non-recurring, infrequent or unusual, we believe that an understanding of these Select Items is important to the evaluation of our core operating results. Our CODM evaluates segment performance based on a variety of measures including Segment Margin, segment volumes, and, where relevant, capital investment.
A reconciliation of Income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes to total Segment Margin is included in our segment disclosure in Note 13 to our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, as well as previously in this Item 2.
Available Cash before Reserves
Definition, Purposes and Uses
We define Available Cash before Reserves ("Available Cash before Reserves") as Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Genesis Energy, L.P. before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (including impairment, write-offs, accretion and similar items) after eliminating other non-cash revenues, expenses, gains, losses and charges (including any loss on asset dispositions), plus or minus certain other select items that we view as not indicative of our core operating results (collectively, "Select Items"), as adjusted for certain items, the most significant of which in the relevant reporting periods have been the sum of maintenance capital utilized, interest expense, net, cash tax expense and cash distributions attributable to our Class A Convertible Preferred unitholders. Although we do not necessarily consider all of our Select Items to be non-recurring, infrequent or unusual, we believe that an understanding of these Select Items is important to the evaluation of our core operating results.
Available Cash before Reserves, often referred to by others as distributable cash flow, is a quantitative standard used throughout the investment community with respect to publicly traded partnerships and is commonly used as a supplemental financial measure by management and by external users of financial statements such as investors, commercial banks, research analysts and rating agencies, to aid in assessing, among other things:
(1) the financial performance of our assets;
(2) our operating performance;
(3) the viability of potential projects, including our cash and overall return on alternative capital investments as compared to those of other companies in the midstream energy industry;
(4) the ability of our assets to generate cash sufficient to satisfy certain non-discretionary cash requirements, including interest payments and certain maintenance capital requirements; and
(5) our ability to make certain discretionary payments, such as distributions on our preferred and common units, growth capital expenditures, certain maintenance capital expenditures and early payments of indebtedness.

Disclosure Format Relating to Maintenance Capital
We use a modified format relating to maintenance capital requirements because our maintenance capital expenditures vary materially in nature (discretionary vs. non-discretionary), timing and amount from time to time. We believe that, without such modified disclosure, such changes in our maintenance capital expenditures could be confusing and potentially misleading to users of our financial information, particularly in the context of the nature and purposes of our Available Cash before Reserves measure. Our modified disclosure format provides those users with information in the form of our maintenance capital utilized measure (which we deduct to arrive at Available Cash before Reserves). Our maintenance capital utilized measure constitutes a proxy for non-discretionary maintenance capital expenditures and it takes into consideration the relationship among maintenance capital expenditures, operating expenses and depreciation from period to period.
Maintenance Capital Requirements
Maintenance capital expenditures are capitalized costs that are necessary to maintain the service capability of our existing assets, including the replacement of any system component or equipment which is worn out or obsolete. Maintenance capital expenditures can be discretionary or non-discretionary, depending on the facts and circumstances.
Prior to 2014, substantially all of our maintenance capital expenditures were (a) related to our pipeline assets and similar infrastructure, (b) non-discretionary in nature and (c) immaterial in amount as compared to our Available Cash before Reserves measure. Those historical expenditures were non-discretionary (or mandatory) in nature because we had very little (if any) discretion as to whether or when we incurred them. We had to incur them in order to continue to operate the related pipelines in a safe and reliable manner and consistently with past practices. If we had not made those expenditures, we would not have been able to continue to operate all or portions of those pipelines, which would not have been economically feasible. An example of a non-discretionary (or mandatory) maintenance capital expenditure would be replacing a segment of an old pipeline because one can no longer operate that pipeline safely, legally and/or economically in the absence of such replacement.
Beginning with 2014, we believe a substantial amount of our maintenance capital expenditures from time to time have been and will continue to be (a) related to our assets other than pipelines, such as our marine vessels, trucks and similar assets, (b) discretionary in nature and (c) potentially material in amount as compared to our Available Cash before Reserves measure. Those expenditures will be discretionary (or non-mandatory) in nature because we will have significant discretion as to whether or when we incur them. We will not be forced to incur them in order to continue to operate the related assets in a safe and reliable manner. If we chose not to make those expenditures, we would be able to continue to operate those assets economically, although in lieu of maintenance capital expenditures, we would incur increased operating expenses, including maintenance expenses. An example of a discretionary (or non-mandatory) maintenance capital expenditure would be replacing an older marine vessel with a new marine vessel with substantially similar specifications, even though one could continue to economically operate the older vessel in spite of its increasing maintenance and other operating expenses.
In summary, as we continue to expand certain non-pipeline portions of our business, we are experiencing changes in the nature (discretionary vs. non-discretionary), timing and amount of our maintenance capital expenditures that merit a more detailed review and analysis than was required historically. Management's increasing ability to determine if and when to incur certain maintenance capital expenditures is relevant to the manner in which we analyze aspects of our business relating to discretionary and non-discretionary expenditures. We believe it would be inappropriate to derive our Available Cash before Reserves measure by deducting discretionary maintenance capital expenditures, which we believe are similar in nature in this context to certain other discretionary expenditures, such as growth capital expenditures, distributions/dividends and equity buybacks. Unfortunately, not all maintenance capital expenditures are clearly discretionary or non-discretionary in nature. Therefore, we developed a measure, maintenance capital utilized, that we believe is more useful in the determination of Available Cash before Reserves.
Maintenance Capital Utilized
We believe our maintenance capital utilized measure is the most useful quarterly maintenance capital requirements measure to use to derive our Available Cash before Reserves measure. We define our maintenance capital utilized measure as that portion of the amount of previously incurred maintenance capital expenditures that we utilize during the relevant quarter, which would be equal to the sum of the maintenance capital expenditures we have incurred for each project/component in prior quarters allocated ratably over the useful lives of those projects/components.
Our maintenance capital utilized measure constitutes a proxy for non-discretionary maintenance capital expenditures and it takes into consideration the relationship among maintenance capital expenditures, operating expenses and depreciation from period to period. Because we did not initially use our maintenance capital utilized measure before 2014, our maintenance capital utilized calculations will reflect the utilization of solely those maintenance capital expenditures incurred since December 31, 2013.

Forward Looking Statements
The statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that are not historical information may be "forward looking statements" as defined under federal law. All statements, other than historical facts, included in this document that address activities, events or developments that we expect or anticipate will or may occur in the future, including things such as plans for growth of the business, future capital expenditures, competitive strengths, goals, references to future goals or intentions, estimated or projected future financial performance, and other such references are forward-looking statements, and historical performance is not necessarily indicative of future performance. These forward-looking statements are identified as any statement that does not relate strictly to historical or current facts. They use words such as "anticipate," "believe," "continue," "estimate," "expect," "forecast," "goal," "intend," "may," "could," "plan," "position," "projection," "strategy," "should" or "will," or the negative of those terms or other variations of them or by comparable terminology. In particular, statements, expressed or implied, concerning future actions, conditions or events (including production or production rates and other conditions and events), future operating results, growth projects, the ability to generate sales, income or cash flow, and the status, timing and anticipated benefits of our or third party development projects and the expected performance of our offshore assets and other projects and business segments are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of performance. They involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Future actions, conditions or events and future results of operations may differ materially from those expressed in these forward-looking statements. Many of the factors that will determine these results are beyond our ability or the ability of our affiliates to control or predict. Specific factors that could cause actual results to differ from those in the forward-looking statements include, among others:
demand for, the supply of, our assumptions about, changes in forecast data for, and price trends related to crude oil, liquid petroleum, natural gas, NaHS, and caustic soda, all of which may be affected by economic activity, capital expenditures and operational and technical issues experienced by energy producers, weather, alternative energy sources, international conflicts and international events (including the war in Ukraine and Iran and broader geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and Eastern Europe), global pandemics, inflation, the actions of OPEC and other oil exporting nations, conservation and technological advances;
our ability to successfully execute our business and financial strategies;
our ability to continue to realize cost savings from our cost saving measures;
throughput levels and rates;
changes in, or challenges to, our tariff rates;
our ability to successfully identify and close strategic acquisitions on acceptable terms (including obtaining third-party consents and waivers of preferential rights), develop or construct infrastructure assets, make cost saving changes in operations and integrate acquired assets or businesses into our existing operations;
service interruptions in our pipeline transportation systems or processing operations, including due to adverse weather events;
shutdowns or cutbacks at refineries, petrochemical plants, utilities, individual plants, or other businesses for which we transport crude oil, petroleum, natural gas or other products or to whom we sell petroleum or other products;
risks inherent in marine transportation and vessel operation, including accidents and discharge of pollutants;
changes in laws and regulations to which we are subject, including tax withholding issues, regulations regarding qualifying income, accounting pronouncements, and safety, environmental and employment laws and regulations;
the effects of production declines resulting from a suspension of drilling in the Gulf of America or otherwise;
the effects of future laws and regulations, including increased tariffs and proposed tariffs, taxes, duties and similar matters affecting international trade;
planned capital expenditures and availability of capital resources to fund capital expenditures, and our ability to access the credit and capital markets to obtain financing on terms we deem acceptable;
our inability to borrow or otherwise access funds needed for operations, expansions or capital expenditures as a result of our credit agreement and the indentures governing our notes, which contain various affirmative and negative covenants;
loss of key personnel;
cash from operations that we generate could decrease or fail to meet expectations, either of which could reduce our ability to pay quarterly cash distributions (common and preferred) at the current level or to increase quarterly cash distributions in the future;
an increase in the competition that our operations encounter;
cost and availability of insurance;
hazards and operating risks that may not be covered fully by insurance;
our financial and commodity hedging arrangements, which may reduce our earnings, profitability and cash flow;
changes in global economic conditions, including capital and credit markets conditions, inflation and interest rates, including the result of any economic recession or depression that has occurred or may occur in the future;
the impact of natural disasters, international military conflicts (such as the war in Ukraine and Iran and broader geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and Eastern Europe), global pandemics, epidemics, accidents or terrorism, and actions taken by governmental authorities and other third parties in response thereto, on our business financial condition and results of operations;
reduction in demand for our services resulting in impairments of our assets;
changes in the financial condition of customers or counterparties;
adverse rulings, judgments, or settlements in litigation or other legal or tax matters;
the treatment of us as a corporation for federal income tax purposes or if we become subject to entity-level taxation for state tax purposes;
the potential that our internal controls may not be adequate, weaknesses may be discovered or remediation of any identified weaknesses may not be successful and the impact these could have on our unit price; and
a cyberattack involving our information systems and related infrastructure, or that of our business associates.
You should not put undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. When considering forward-looking statements, please review the risk factors described under "Risk Factors" discussed in Item 1A of our Annual Report . These risks may also be specifically described in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K (or any amendments to those reports) and other documents that we may file from time to time with the SEC. New factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all such factors, or the extent to which any such factor or combination of factors may cause actual results to differ from those contained in any forward-looking statement. Except as required by applicable securities laws, we do not intend to update these forward-looking statements and information.
