Organization and Principles of Consolidation Organization and Principles of Consolidation
As used in this document, the terms “Partnership,” “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 (our “General Partner”), which is owned by Energy Transfer LP (“Energy Transfer”). As of September 30, 2023, Energy Transfer owned 100% of the limited liability company interests in our General Partner, 28,463,967 of our common units, which constitutes a 28.3% limited partner interest in us, and all of our incentive distribution rights (“IDRs”).
The consolidated financial statements include Sunoco LP, a publicly traded Delaware limited partnership, and its wholly‑owned subsidiaries. In the opinion of the Partnership’s management, such financial information reflects all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and the results of operations for such interim periods in accordance with GAAP. 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 operating income, net income and comprehensive income, the consolidated balance sheets or consolidated statements of cash flows.

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 consolidated financial statements have been condensed or omitted. The interim 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, 2022 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 17, 2023.
Significant Accounting Policies
As of September 30, 2023, there have been no changes in the Partnership's significant accounting policies from those described in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 filed with the SEC on February 17, 2023.
Motor Fuel and Sales Taxes
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 wholesale direct sales to dealers, distributors and commercial customers is to exclude the collected motor fuel tax from sales and cost of sales.
For retail locations where the Partnership holds inventory, including commission agent locations, motor fuel sales and motor fuel cost of sales include motor fuel taxes. Such amounts were $73 million and $76 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $209 million and $219 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Merchandise sales and cost of merchandise sales are reported net of sales tax in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.

2023 Private Offering of Senior Notes
On September 20, 2023, we and Sunoco Finance Corp. (together, the “2028 Notes Issuers”) completed a private offering of $500 million in aggregate principal amount of 7.000% senior notes due 2028 (the “2028 Notes”).
The terms of the 2028 Notes are governed by an indenture dated September 20, 2023, among the 2028 Notes Issuers, certain subsidiaries of the Partnership (the“2028 Notes Guarantors”) and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee. The 2028 Notes will mature on September 15, 2028 and interest on the 2028 Notes is payable semi-annually on March 15 and September 15 of each year, commencing March 15, 2024. The 2028 Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the 2028 Notes Issuers and are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by all of the Partnership’s current subsidiaries (other than Sunoco Finance Corp.) that guarantee its obligations under the revolving credit facility and certain of its future subsidiaries. The 2028 Notes and related guarantees are unsecured and rank equally with all of the 2028 Notes Issuers’ and each 2028 Notes Guarantor’s existing and future senior obligations. The 2028 Notes and related guarantees are effectively subordinated to the 2028 Notes Issuers’ and each 2028 Notes Guarantor’s secured obligations, including obligations under the revolving credit facility, 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 2028 Notes.
The Partnership used the proceeds from the private offering to repay a portion of the outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit facility.
Revolving Credit Facility
As of September 30, 2023, the balance on our revolving credit facility was $647 million, and $6 million standby letters of credit were outstanding. The unused availability on the revolving credit facility at September 30, 2023 was $847 million. The weighted average interest rate on the total amount outstanding at September 30, 2023 was 7.34%. The Partnership was in compliance with all financial covenants at September 30, 2023.
Fair Value of Debt
The aggregate estimated fair value and carrying amount of our consolidated debt obligations as of September 30, 2023 were $3.6 billion and $3.8 billion, respectively. As of December 31, 2022, the aggregate fair value and carrying amount of our consolidated debt obligations were $3.4 billion and $3.6 billion, respectively. The fair value of our consolidated debt obligations is a Level 2 valuation based on the respective debt obligations' observable inputs for similar liabilities.

Commitments and Contingencies Commitments and Contingencies
Litigation
From time to time, the Partnership is involved in various legal proceedings and claims arising out of our operations in the normal course of business. Such proceedings are subject to the uncertainties inherent in any litigation, and we regularly assess the need for accounting recognition or disclosure of any related contingencies. We maintain liability insurance with insurers with coverage and deductibles management believes are reasonable and prudent. However, there can be no assurance that the levels of insurance protection currently in effect will continue to be available at reasonable prices or that such levels will be adequate to protect us from material expenses related to product liability, personal injury or property damage in the future. 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.

Income Tax Expense 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 is as follows:

Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
Segment Reporting Disclosure [Text Block] Segment Reporting
We report Adjusted EBITDA by segment as a measure of segment performance. We define Adjusted EBITDA as earnings before net interest expense, income tax expense and depreciation, amortization and accretion expense, non-cash unit-based compensation expense, gains and losses on disposal of assets and non-cash 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. Inventory adjustments that are excluded from the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA represent changes in lower of cost or market reserves on the Partnership's inventory. These amounts are unrealized valuation adjustments applied to fuel volumes remaining in inventory at the end of the period.
The following table presents financial information by segment for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022:

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 wholesale direct sales to dealers, distributors and commercial customers is to exclude the collected motor fuel tax from sales and cost of sales.
For retail locations where the Partnership holds inventory, including commission agent locations, motor fuel sales and motor fuel cost of sales include motor fuel taxes. Such amounts were $73 million and $76 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $209 million and $219 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
