Phillips 66 Partners adjusted total costs were $47.8 million in Q1 of 2016, an increase of $9.6 million from Q4 2015
HOUSTON, Texas – Phillips 66 Partners LP announces first-quarter 2016 earnings of $52.3 million, or $0.44 per common unit.
Distributable cash flow was $64.1 million and adjusted earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (adjusted EBITDA) were $73.8 million.
“We remain on track to achieve our five-year annual distribution growth-rate objective of 30 per cent through 2018,” said Greg Garland, Phillips 66 Partners’ chairman and CEO.
On April 20 the general partner’s board of directors declared a first-quarter 2016 cash distribution of $0.481 per common unit.
“We recently increased distributions 5 per cent, the tenth consecutive quarterly increase since our IPO. We added to our portfolio by acquiring a 25 percent interest in the Sweeny NGL fractionator and storage caverns this quarter, and we commenced operations on the first segment of the Bayou Bridge pipeline in April,” said Garland.
This distribution represents a 5 per cent increase compared with the fourth-quarter 2015 distribution of $0.458 per common unit and a 30 percent increase from the first quarter of 2015.

Phillips 66 Partners adjusted total revenues and other income for the first quarter of 2016 were $103.3 million, compared with $102.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2015.
This increase was due to the Sweeny fractionator and caverns acquisition, mostly offset by the absence of a nonrecurring make-whole payment received in the fourth quarter of 2015 from a joint venture, as well as lower long-haul pipeline volumes due to refinery maintenance in the first quarter.
Phillips 66 Partners adjusted total costs were $47.8 million in the first quarter of 2016, an increase of $9.6 million from the fourth quarter of 2015, largely due to the Sweeny fractionator and caverns acquisition.
