SUNOCO LOGISTICS PARTNERS L.P.

REPORTS SECOND QUARTER AND SIX MONTH RESULTS AND DECLARES

INCREASED SECOND QUARTER DISTRIBUTION OF $0.50 PER COMMON AND

SUBORDINATED UNIT

 

PHILADELPHIA, July 23, 2003 – Sunoco Logistics Partners L.P. (NYSE: SXL) today announced net income for the second quarter ended June 30, 2003 of $11.9 million, or $0.51 per limited partner unit on a fully diluted basis, compared with $12.5 million for the second quarter of 2002, or $0.54 per limited partner unit on a fully diluted basis. For the six months ended June 30, 2003, net income increased 19 percent to $29.7 million compared with $25.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002.

 

Net income for the second quarter 2003 decreased 5.2 percent to $11.9 million from $12.5 million for the second quarter 2002 due to a $0.2 million decrease in operating income and a $0.4 million increase in net interest expense. Operating income decreased to $16.8 million for the second quarter 2003 due primarily to an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses as a result of higher administrative expenses and increased insurance premiums. Partially offsetting this was equity income from the corporate joint ventures acquired in November 2002 and higher gross margins from the Western Pipeline System.

 

Sunoco Partners LLC, the general partner of Sunoco Logistics Partners L.P. also declared an increased cash distribution for the second quarter 2003 of $0.50 per common and subordinated partnership unit ($2.00 annualized) payable August 14, 2003 to unitholders of record on August 4, 2003, an increase of $0.0125 per partnership unit on a quarterly basis ($0.05 annualized increase).

 

“The three percent increase in our distribution, the second increase in three quarters, confirms the strength of our business and cash flow,” said Deborah M. Fretz, President and Chief Executive Officer of Sunoco Logistics Partners L.P. “We are pleased with how the businesses operated during the quarter. Our focus on growth continues with acquisition opportunities such as the logistics assets associated with the El Paso Corporation Eagle Point Refinery, which Sunoco, Inc. announced a letter of


intent to purchase on April 30, 2002. The company is currently responding to requests for additional information from the Federal Trade Commission.”

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2003, net income increased 19 percent to $29.7 million compared with $25.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002. This $4.7 million increase was the result of a $5.1 million increase in operating income and a $1.6 million increase from the absence of corporate income taxes for the period prior to our initial public offering, partially offset by a $2.0 million increase in net interest expense. Operating income increased $5.1 million to $39.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003 compared with $34.2 million for the prior year period due principally to higher gross margins from the Western Pipeline System, equity income from the corporate joint ventures acquired in 2002, and a decline in operating expenses at the Eastern Pipeline System. Partially offsetting these amounts were an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses as a result of higher administrative expenses and increased insurance premiums.

 

Segmented Second Quarter Results

 

Eastern Pipeline System

 

The Eastern Pipeline System experienced a $0.4 million decrease in operating income from $8.7 million for the second quarter 2002 to $8.3 million for the second quarter 2003. Sales and other operating revenues decreased $1.2 million from the prior year’s quarter to $22.7 million for the second quarter 2003 as a result of lower shipments. Other income increased $0.9 million to $2.6 million for the second quarter 2003 primarily due to the equity income from the pipeline interests acquired in November 2002, partially offset by a decline in equity income from the interest in Explorer pipeline as a result of lower volumes. Operating expenses declined $1.2 million to $9.4 million for the second quarter 2003 due to lower pipeline maintenance expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $0.7 million to $4.7 million for the second quarter 2003 due to higher allocated administrative and insurance expenses.

 

Terminal Facilities

 

Operating income at the Terminal Facilities business segment decreased $0.7 million to $6.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2003 from $7.5 million for the second quarter 2002. Total revenues increased $1.2 million to $22.7 million for the second quarter 2003 primarily due to higher combined volumes at the refined product terminals, the Fort Mifflin Terminal Complex, and the Marcus Hook Tank Farm (collectively referred to as the “Other Terminals”) as a result of continued high demand for distillates, including heating oil in the Northeast U.S. due to the cold spring weather. This was partially offset by a decline in revenue at the Nederland Terminal primarily due to lower volumes. Nederland is fully operational following a release in the second quarter from a third-party natural gas pipeline which passes through the terminal facility. Operations were fully restored within 72 hours of the event. The cause of the natural gas release and ensuing fire remains under investigation. Terminal Facilities’ operating expenses increased $1.0 million to $9.5 million for the second quarter 2003 due mainly to higher maintenance expenses at the Other Terminals. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $0.9 million to $3.5 million for the second quarter 2003 due to higher allocated administrative and insurance expenses.


Western Pipeline System

 

Operating income for the Western Pipeline System was $1.7 million for the second quarter 2003, an increase of $0.9 million compared with the second quarter 2002. This increase was primarily the result of an increase in lease acquisition volumes and margins, higher trunk pipeline volumes and revenues, and equity income from the interest in West Texas Gulf Pipe Line acquired in November 2002. These amounts were partially offset by higher pipeline integrity management expenses. Total revenues and cost of products sold and operating expenses increased significantly in the second quarter 2003 compared with the second quarter 2002 due primarily to an increase in the price of crude oil and an increase in lease acquisition volumes. The average price of West Texas Intermediate crude oil at Cushing, Oklahoma, increased to an average price of $28.90 per barrel for the second quarter 2003 from $26.26 for the second quarter 2002. Other income increased to $0.6 million for the second quarter 2003 due to the interest acquired in West Texas Gulf Pipe Line. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $1.3 million to $4.4 million for the second quarter 2003 due to higher allocated administrative and insurance expenses.

 

Segmented Six Month Results

 

Eastern Pipeline System

 

Operating income for the Eastern Pipeline System increased $2.9 million to $18.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003 compared with $15.1 million for the prior year comparable period. Sales and other operating revenues decreased $0.4 million to $46.2 million for the first half of 2003 principally as a result of a decrease in shipments, partially offset by higher revenues per barrel mile. Other income increased $1.8 million to $5.3 million for the first half of 2003 primarily due to the equity income from the pipeline interests acquired in 2002, partially offset by a decline in equity income from the interest in Explorer pipeline as a result of lower volumes. Operating expenses declined $3.2 million to $18.9 million for the first half of 2003 due to the absence of costs associated with a pipeline release in January 2002 and lower pipeline maintenance expenses. As this pipeline release occurred prior to the IPO and the Partnership is indemnified by Sunoco, Inc. for liabilities associated with this incident, there was no impact on the Partnership’s post-IPO financial results. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $1.3 million to $9.3 million for the first half of 2003 due to higher allocated administrative and insurance expenses.

 

Terminal Facilities

 

The Terminal Facilities business segment experienced a $2.0 million decrease in operating income from $16.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002 to $14.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003. Total revenues increased $2.2 million to $44.8 million for the first half of 2003 primarily due to higher combined volumes at the Other Terminals as a result of higher demand for distillates, including heating oil in the Northeast U.S. due to cold spring and winter weather. The Nederland Terminal’s revenues declined primarily due to lower volumes caused by rising foreign crude oil prices relative to domestic crude oil prices. Operating expenses increased $2.4 million to $18.4 million for the first half of 2003 due mainly to higher maintenance expenses at the Other Terminals. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $1.3 million to $6.6 million for the first half of 2003 due to higher allocated administrative and insurance expenses.


Western Pipeline System

 

Operating income for the Western Pipeline System was $7.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003, an increase of $4.2 million compared with the comparable prior year period. This increase was primarily the result of an increase in lease acquisition volumes and margins, higher trunk pipeline volumes and revenues, and equity income from the interest in West Texas Gulf Pipe Line acquired in 2002. These amounts were partially offset by higher pipeline integrity management expenses. Total revenues and cost of products sold and operating expenses increased significantly in the first half of 2003 compared with the first half of 2002 due primarily to an increase in the price of crude oil and an increase in lease acquisition volumes. The average price of West Texas Intermediate crude oil at Cushing, Oklahoma, increased to an average price of $31.34 per barrel for the first half of 2003 from $23.98 for the first half of 2002. Other income increased to $1.5 million for the first half of 2003 due to the interest acquired in West Texas Gulf Pipe Line. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $2.3 million to $8.4 million for the first half of 2003 due to higher allocated administrative and insurance expenses.

 

Net Financing Activities

 

Net interest expense increased $0.4 million to $5.0 million for the second quarter 2003 compared with the prior year’s period due primarily to interest on the $64.5 million outstanding on the Credit Facility in the current year’s quarter. The Credit Facility was drawn on November 15, 2002 to fund two acquisitions and was not outstanding in the prior year’s quarter. Net interest expense increased $2.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003 as compared with the prior year’s period due primarily to interest on the Credit Facility borrowings not outstanding in the prior year period and interest on the $250 million 7.25% senior notes issued concurrently with the IPO on February 8, 2002 being at a higher rate than the debt due Sunoco, Inc. in the prior year, which was at a floating interest rate. Total debt outstanding at June 30, 2003 was $317.3 million, including $248.6 million of the Senior Notes and $64.5 million on the Credit Facility.
