Note 1. Partnership Organization and Operations
We are a publicly traded Delaware limited partnership, the common units of which are listed on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the ticker symbol “EPD.” Our preferred units are not publicly traded. We were formed in April 1998 to own and operate certain natural gas liquids (“NGLs”) related businesses of EPCO and are a leading North American provider of midstream energy services to producers and consumers of natural gas, NGLs, crude oil, petrochemicals and refined products. We are owned by our limited partners (preferred and common unitholders) from an economic perspective. Enterprise GP, which owns a non-economic general partner interest in us, manages our Partnership. We conduct substantially all of our business operations through EPO and its consolidated subsidiaries.
Our fully integrated, midstream energy asset network (or “value chain”) links producers of natural gas, NGLs and crude oil from some of the largest supply basins in the United States (“U.S.”), Canada and the Gulf of Mexico with domestic consumers and international markets. Our midstream energy operations include:
•natural gas gathering, treating, processing, transportation and storage;
•NGL transportation, fractionation, storage, and marine terminals (including those used to export liquefied petroleum gases (“LPG”) and ethane);
•crude oil gathering, transportation, storage, and marine terminals;
•propylene production facilities (including propane dehydrogenation (“PDH”) facilities), butane isomerization, octane enhancement, isobutane dehydrogenation (“iBDH”) and high purity isobutylene (“HPIB”) production facilities;
•petrochemical and refined products transportation, storage, and marine terminals (including those used to export ethylene and polymer grade propylene (“PGP”)); and
•a marine transportation business that operates on key U.S. inland and intracoastal waterway systems.
Like many publicly traded partnerships, we have no employees. All of our management, administrative and operating functions are performed by employees of EPCO pursuant to an administrative services agreement (the “ASA”) or by other service providers. See Note 14 for information regarding related party matters.
Our results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of results expected for the full year of 2026. In our opinion, the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include all adjustments consisting of normal recurring accruals necessary for fair presentation. Although we believe the disclosures in these financial statements are adequate and make the information presented not misleading, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
These Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 (the “2025 Form 10-K”) filed with the SEC on February 27, 2026.
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Apart from those matters described in this footnote, there have been no updates to our significant accounting policies since those reported under Note 2 of the 2025 Form 10-K.

(1)Plants, pipelines and facilities include distillation-based and reaction-based plants; NGL, natural gas, crude oil and petrochemical and refined products pipelines; terminal loading and unloading facilities; buildings; office furniture and equipment; laboratory and shop equipment and related assets.
(2)Underground and other storage facilities include underground product storage caverns; above ground storage tanks; water wells and related assets.
(3)Transportation equipment includes tractor-trailer tank trucks and other vehicles and similar assets used in our operations.
(4)Marine vessels include tow boats, barges and related equipment used in our marine transportation business.
(5)In general, the estimated useful lives of major assets within this category are: distillation-based and reaction-based plants, 20-35 years; pipelines and related equipment, 5-45 years; terminal facilities, 10-35 years; buildings, 20-40 years; office furniture and equipment, 3-20 years; and laboratory and shop equipment, 5-35 years.
(6)In general, the estimated useful lives of assets within this category are: underground storage facilities, 5-35 years; storage tanks, 10-40 years; and water wells, 5-35 years.
(7)For reaction-based plants, we use the deferral method when accounting for major maintenance activities. Under the deferral method, major maintenance costs are capitalized and amortized over the period until the next major overhaul project. On a weighted-average basis, the expected remaining amortization period for these costs is 1.8 years.
Property, plant and equipment at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 includes $139 million and $141 million, respectively, of asset retirement costs capitalized as an increase in the associated long-lived asset.
The following table presents information regarding our asset retirement obligations, or AROs, since December 31, 2025:

(1)Depreciation expense is a component of “Costs and expenses” as presented on our Unaudited Condensed Statements of Consolidated Operations.
(2)We capitalize interest costs incurred on funds used to construct property, plant and equipment while the asset is in its construction phase. The capitalized interest is recorded as part of the asset to which it relates and is amortized over the asset’s estimated useful life as a component of depreciation expense. When capitalized interest is recorded, it reduces interest expense from what it would be otherwise.

March 2026 $1.5 Billion 364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement
In March 2026, EPO entered into a new 364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement (the “March 2026 $1.5 Billion 364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement”) that replaced its prior 364-day revolving credit agreement. As of March 31, 2026, there were no principal amounts outstanding under the March 2026 $1.5 Billion 364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement.
Under the terms of the March 2026 $1.5 Billion 364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement, EPO may borrow up to $1.5 billion (which may be increased by up to $200 million to $1.7 billion at EPO’s election, provided certain conditions are met) at a variable interest rate for a term of up to 364 days, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein. The March 2026 $1.5 Billion 364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement matures in March 2027. To the extent that principal amounts are outstanding at the maturity date, EPO may elect to have the entire principal balance then outstanding continued as non-revolving term loans for a period of one additional year, payable in March 2028. Borrowings under the March 2026 $1.5 Billion 364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement may be used for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions and general company purposes.
The March 2026 $1.5 Billion 364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, covenants (affirmative and negative) and events of default, the occurrence of which would permit the lenders to accelerate the maturity date of any amounts borrowed under this credit agreement. The March 2026 $1.5 Billion 364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement also restricts EPO’s ability to pay cash distributions to the Partnership, if an event of default (as defined in the credit agreement) has occurred and is continuing at the time such distribution is scheduled to be paid or would result therefrom.
EPO’s obligations under the March 2026 $1.5 Billion 364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement are not secured by any collateral; however, they are guaranteed by the Partnership.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Letters of Credit
At March 31, 2026, EPO had $35 million of letters of credit outstanding primarily related to our insurance program.
Lender Financial Covenants
We were in compliance with the financial covenants of our consolidated debt agreements at March 31, 2026.
Parent-Subsidiary Guarantor Relationships
The Partnership acts as guarantor of the consolidated debt obligations of EPO. If EPO were to default on any of its guaranteed debt, the Partnership would be responsible for full and unconditional repayment of such obligations.

Registration Statements
We have a universal shelf registration statement on file with the SEC which allows the Partnership and EPO (each on a standalone basis) to issue an unlimited amount of equity and debt securities, respectively.
In addition, the Partnership has a registration statement on file with the SEC covering the issuance of up to $2.5 billion of its common units in amounts, at prices and on terms based on market conditions and other factors at the time of such offerings (referred to as the Partnership’s at-the-market (“ATM”) program). The Partnership did not issue any common units under its ATM program during the three months ended March 31, 2026. The Partnership’s capacity to issue additional common units under the ATM program remains at $2.5 billion as of March 31, 2026.
We may issue additional equity and debt securities to assist us in meeting our future liquidity requirements, including those related to capital investments.
Common Unit Repurchases Under 2019 Buyback Program
In January 2019, we announced that the Board had approved a $2.0 billion multi-year unit buyback program (the “2019 Buyback Program”), which provides the Partnership with an additional method to return capital to investors. In October 2025, we announced that the Board approved an increase to the authorized maximum aggregate purchase price (excluding fees, commissions and other ancillary expenses) of the Partnership’s common units that may be repurchased under the 2019 Buyback Program from $2.0 billion to $5.0 billion. The 2019 Buyback Program authorizes the Partnership to repurchase its common units from time to time, including through open market purchases and negotiated transactions. No time limit has been set for completion of the program, and it may be suspended or discontinued at any time.
During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Partnership repurchased 3,124,192 and 1,803,215 common units, respectively, under the 2019 Buyback Program. The total cost of these repurchases, including commissions and fees, was $116 million and $60 million, respectively. Common units repurchased under the 2019 Buyback Program are immediately cancelled upon acquisition. At March 31, 2026, the remaining available capacity under the 2019 Buyback Program was $3.4 billion.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Common Units Issued in Connection With the Vesting of Phantom Unit Awards
After taking into account tax withholding requirements, the Partnership issued 4,866,420 new common units to employees in connection with the vesting of phantom unit awards during the three months ended March 31, 2026. See Note 12 for information regarding our phantom unit awards.
Common Units Delivered Under DRIP and EUPP
The Partnership has registration statements on file with the SEC in connection with its distribution reinvestment plan (“DRIP”) and employee unit purchase plan (“EUPP”). In July 2019, the Partnership announced that, beginning with the quarterly distribution payment paid in August 2019, it would use common units purchased on the open market, rather than issuing new common units, to satisfy its delivery obligations under the DRIP and EUPP. This election is subject to change in future quarters depending on the Partnership’s need for equity capital.
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, agents of the Partnership purchased 1,013,933 common units on the open market and delivered them to participants in the DRIP and EUPP. Apart from $1 million attributable to the plan discount available to all participants in the EUPP, the funds used to effect these purchases were sourced from the DRIP and EUPP participants. No other Partnership funds were used to satisfy these obligations. We plan to use open market purchases to satisfy DRIP and EUPP reinvestments in connection with the distribution expected to be paid on May 14, 2026.
Preferred Units
As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, there were 45,412 Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Units (“preferred units”) outstanding. There were no changes in the number of preferred units outstanding during the three months ended March 31, 2026.
We present the capital accounts attributable to our preferred unitholders as mezzanine equity on our consolidated balance sheets since the terms of the preferred units allow for cash redemption by such unitholders in the event of a Change of Control (as defined in our partnership agreement), without regard to the likelihood of such an event.
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Partnership made quarterly cash distributions to its preferred unitholders of $1 million.

Cash Distributions
On April 9, 2026, we announced that the Board declared a quarterly cash distribution of $0.55 per common unit, or $2.20 per common unit on an annualized basis, to be paid to the Partnership’s common unitholders with respect to the first quarter of 2026. The quarterly distribution is payable on May 14, 2026 to unitholders of record as of the close of business on April 30, 2026. The total amount to be paid is $1.2 billion, which includes $12 million for distribution equivalent rights (“DERs”) on phantom unit awards.
The payment of quarterly cash distributions is subject to management’s evaluation of our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows in connection with such payments and Board approval. Management will evaluate any future increases in cash distributions on a quarterly basis.

Note 10. Business Segments and Related Information
Our operations are reported under four business segments: (i) NGL Pipelines & Services, (ii) Crude Oil Pipelines & Services, (iii) Natural Gas Pipelines & Services and (iv) Petrochemical & Refined Products Services. Our business segments are generally organized and managed according to the types of services rendered (or technologies employed) and products produced and/or sold.
Financial information regarding these segments is evaluated regularly by our co-chief operating decision makers (“CODMs”) in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing our operating and financial performance. The co-principal executive officers of our general partner have been identified as our CODMs.
The following information summarizes the assets and operations of each business segment:
•Our NGL Pipelines & Services business segment includes our natural gas processing and related NGL marketing activities, NGL pipelines, NGL fractionation facilities, NGL and related product storage facilities, and NGL marine terminals.
•Our Crude Oil Pipelines & Services business segment includes our crude oil pipelines, crude oil storage and marine terminals, and related crude oil marketing activities.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
•Our Natural Gas Pipelines & Services business segment includes our natural gas pipeline systems that provide for the gathering, treating and transportation of natural gas. This segment also includes our natural gas marketing activities.
•Our Petrochemical & Refined Products Services business segment includes our (i) propylene production facilities, which include propylene fractionation units and PDH facilities, and related pipelines and marketing activities, (ii) butane isomerization complex and related deisobutanizer operations, (iii) octane enhancement, iBDH and HPIB production facilities, (iv) refined products pipelines, terminals and related marketing activities, (v) ethylene export terminal and related operations; and (vi) marine transportation business.
Our plants, pipelines and other fixed assets are located in the U.S.
Segment Gross Operating Margin
Our CODMs evaluate segment performance based on our financial measure of gross operating margin. Gross operating margin is an important performance measure of the core profitability of our operations, forms the basis of our internal financial reporting, and is used by our CODMs on a monthly basis to monitor budgeted versus actual results. Our CODMs also consider gross operating margin results, in part, when determining how to allocate resources (e.g., employees and capital investments) to each segment, primarily in the annual budget process. We believe that investors benefit from having access to the same financial measures that our management uses in evaluating segment results. Gross operating margin is exclusive of other income and expense transactions, income taxes, the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles and extraordinary charges. Gross operating margin is presented on a 100% basis before any allocation of earnings to noncontrolling interests. Our calculation of gross operating margin may or may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.
The following table presents a reconciliation of total segment gross operating margin to income before income taxes for the periods indicated:

(2)Since make-up rights entail a future performance obligation by the pipeline to the shipper, these receipts are recorded as deferred revenue for GAAP purposes; however, these receipts are included in gross operating margin in the period of receipt since they are non-refundable to the shipper.
(3)As deferred revenues attributable to make-up rights are subsequently recognized as revenue under GAAP, gross operating margin must be adjusted to remove such amounts to prevent duplication since the associated non-refundable payments were previously included in gross operating margin.
(4)As presented on our Unaudited Condensed Statements of Consolidated Operations, Total other expense, net is comprised of Interest expense, Interest income and Other, net.

Fluctuations in our product sales revenues and cost of sales amounts are explained in large part by changes in energy commodity prices. In general, higher energy commodity prices result in an increase in our revenues attributable to product sales; however, these higher commodity prices would also be expected to increase the associated cost of sales as purchase costs are higher. The same type of relationship would be true in the case of lower energy commodity sales prices and purchase costs.

(2)The aggregate grant date fair value of phantom unit awards issued during 2026 was $284 million based on a grant date market price of the Partnership’s common units ranging from $32.16 to $35.19 per unit. An estimated annual forfeiture rate of 2.0% was applied to these awards.
Each phantom unit award includes a DER, which entitles the participant to nonforfeitable cash payments equal to the product of the number of phantom unit awards outstanding for the participant and the cash distribution per common unit paid by the Partnership to its common unitholders. Cash payments made in connection with DERs are charged to partners’ equity when the phantom unit award is expected to result in the issuance of common units; otherwise, such amounts are expensed.

Note 13. Hedging Activities and Fair Value Measurements
In the normal course of our business operations, we are exposed to certain risks, including changes in interest rates and commodity prices. In order to manage risks associated with assets, liabilities and certain anticipated future transactions, we use derivative instruments such as futures, forward contracts, swaps, options and other instruments with similar characteristics. Substantially all of our derivatives are used for non-trading activities.
Interest Rate Hedging Activities
We may utilize interest rate swaps, forward-starting swaps, options to enter into forward-starting swaps (“swaptions”), treasury locks and similar derivative instruments to manage our exposure to changes in interest rates charged on borrowings under certain consolidated debt agreements. This strategy may be used in controlling our overall cost of capital associated with such borrowings.
We do not have any interest rate derivative instruments outstanding at March 31, 2026.
Commodity Hedging Activities
The prices of natural gas, NGLs, crude oil, petrochemicals and refined products, and power are subject to fluctuations in response to changes in supply and demand, market conditions and a variety of additional factors that are beyond our control. In order to manage such price risks, we enter into commodity derivative instruments such as physical forward contracts, futures contracts, fixed-for-float swaps and basis swaps.
At March 31, 2026, our predominant commodity hedging strategies consisted of (i) hedging anticipated future purchases and sales of commodity products associated with transportation, storage and blending activities, (ii) hedging natural gas processing margins, (iii) hedging the fair value of commodity products held in inventory and (iv) hedging anticipated future purchases of power for certain operations in Southeast Texas.
•The objective of our anticipated future commodity purchases and sales hedging program is to hedge the margins of certain transportation, storage, blending and operational activities by locking in purchase and sale prices through the use of derivative instruments and related contracts.
•The objective of our natural gas processing hedging program is to hedge an amount of earnings associated with these activities. We achieve this objective by executing fixed-price sales for a portion of our expected equity production using derivative instruments and related contracts. For certain natural gas processing contracts, the hedging of expected equity NGL production also involves the purchase of natural gas for plant thermal reduction, which is hedged using derivative instruments and related contracts.
•The objective of our inventory hedging program is to hedge the fair value of commodity products currently held in inventory by locking in the sales price of the inventory through the use of derivative instruments and related contracts.
•The objective of our commercial energy hedging program is to hedge anticipated future purchases of power for certain operations in Southeast Texas by locking in purchase prices through the use of derivative instruments and related contracts.

Derivative assets and liabilities recorded on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets are presented on a gross-basis and determined at the individual transaction level. The tabular presentation above provides a means for comparing the gross amount of derivative assets and liabilities, excluding associated accounts payable and receivable, to the net amount that would likely be receivable or payable under a default scenario based on the existence of rights of offset in the respective derivative agreements. Any cash collateral paid or received is reflected in these tables, but only to the extent that it represents variation margins. Any amounts associated with derivative prepayments or initial margins that are not influenced by the derivative asset or liability amounts or those that are determined solely on their volumetric notional amounts are excluded from these tables.

Fair Value Measurements
The following tables set forth, by level within the Level 1, 2 and 3 fair value hierarchy, the carrying values of our financial assets and liabilities at the dates indicated. These assets and liabilities are measured on a recurring basis and are classified based on the lowest level of input used to estimate their fair value. Our assessment of the relative significance of such inputs requires judgment.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The values for commodity derivatives are presented before and after the application of CME Rule 814, which deems that financial instruments cleared by the CME are settled daily in connection with variation margin payments. As a result of this exchange rule, CME-related derivatives are considered to have no fair value at the balance sheet date for financial reporting purposes; however, the derivatives remain outstanding and subject to future commodity price fluctuations until they are settled in accordance with their contractual terms. Derivative transactions cleared on exchanges other than the CME (e.g., the Intercontinental Exchange or ICE) continue to be reported on a gross basis.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Other Fair Value Information
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents (including restricted cash balances), accounts receivable, commercial paper notes and accounts payable approximate their fair values based on their short-term nature. The estimated total fair value of our fixed-rate debt obligations was $30.2 billion and $32.2 billion at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. The aggregate carrying value of these debt obligations was $32.5 billion and $34.1 billion at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. These values are primarily based on quoted market prices for such debt or debt of similar terms and maturities (Level 2) and our credit standing. Changes in market rates of interest affect the fair value of our fixed-rate debt. The carrying values of our variable-rate long-term debt obligations approximate their fair values since the associated interest rates are market-based. We do not have any long-term investments in debt or equity securities recorded at fair value.

Relationship with EPCO and Affiliates
We have an extensive and ongoing relationship with EPCO and its privately held affiliates (including Enterprise GP, our general partner), which are not a part of our consolidated group of companies.
At March 31, 2026, EPCO and its privately held affiliates (including Dan Duncan LLC and certain Duncan family trusts) beneficially owned the following limited partner interests in us:
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Of the total number of Partnership common units held by EPCO and its privately held affiliates, 59,976,464 have been pledged as security under the separate credit facilities of EPCO and its privately held affiliates at March 31, 2026. These credit facilities contain customary and other events of default, including defaults by us and other affiliates of EPCO. An event of default, followed by a foreclosure on the pledged collateral, could ultimately result in a change in ownership of these units and affect the market price of the Partnership’s common units.
The Partnership and Enterprise GP are both separate legal entities apart from each other and apart from EPCO and its other affiliates, with assets and liabilities that are also separate from those of EPCO and its other affiliates. EPCO and its privately held affiliates use cash on hand and cash distributions they receive from us and other investments to fund their other activities and to meet their respective debt obligations, if any. During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, we paid EPCO and its privately held affiliates cash distributions totaling $374 million and $363 million, respectively.
We have no employees. All of our administrative and operating functions are provided either by employees of EPCO (pursuant to the ASA) or by other service providers. We and our general partner are parties to the ASA. The following table presents our related party costs and expenses attributable to the ASA with EPCO for the periods indicated:

Note 15. Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset-and-liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. We recognize the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not of being sustained. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs. We did not rely on any uncertain tax positions in recording our income tax-related amounts during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.

Note 16. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities
Litigation
As part of our normal business activities, we may be named as defendants in legal proceedings, including those arising from regulatory and environmental matters. Although we are insured against various risks to the extent we believe it is prudent, there is no assurance that the nature and amount of such insurance will be adequate, in every case, to fully indemnify us against losses arising from future legal proceedings. We will vigorously defend the Partnership in litigation matters.
There were no accruals for litigation contingencies at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
Contractual Obligations
Scheduled Maturities of Debt
We have long-term and short-term payment obligations under debt agreements. In total, the principal amount of our consolidated debt obligations were $34.2 billion and $34.7 billion at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. See Note 7 for additional information regarding our scheduled future maturities of debt principal.
Lease Accounting Matters

Overview of Business
We are a publicly traded Delaware limited partnership, the common units of which are listed on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the ticker symbol “EPD.” Our preferred units are not publicly traded. We were formed in April 1998 to own and operate certain natural gas liquids (“NGLs”) related businesses of EPCO and are a leading North American provider of midstream energy services to producers and consumers of natural gas, NGLs, crude oil, petrochemicals and refined products. We are owned by our limited partners (preferred and common unitholders) from an economic perspective. Enterprise GP, which owns a non-economic general partner interest in us, manages our Partnership. We conduct substantially all of our business operations through EPO and its consolidated subsidiaries.
Our fully integrated, midstream energy asset network (or “value chain”) links producers of natural gas, NGLs and crude oil from some of the largest supply basins in the U.S., Canada and the Gulf of Mexico with domestic consumers and international markets. Our midstream energy operations include:
•natural gas gathering, treating, processing, transportation and storage;
•NGL transportation, fractionation, storage, and marine terminals (including those used to export liquefied petroleum gases (“LPG”) and ethane);
•crude oil gathering, transportation, storage, and marine terminals;
•propylene production facilities (including propane dehydrogenation (“PDH”) facilities), butane isomerization, octane enhancement, isobutane dehydrogenation (“iBDH”) and high purity isobutylene (“HPIB”) production facilities;
•petrochemical and refined products transportation, storage, and marine terminals (including those used to export ethylene and polymer grade propylene (“PGP”)); and
•a marine transportation business that operates on key U.S. inland and intracoastal waterway systems.
The safe operation of our assets is a top priority. We are committed to protecting the environment and the health and safety of the public and those working on our behalf by conducting our business activities in a safe and environmentally responsible manner. For additional information, see “Environmental, Safety and Conservation” within the Regulatory Matters section of Part I, Items 1 and 2 of the 2025 Form 10-K.
Like many publicly traded partnerships, we have no employees. All of our management, administrative and operating functions are performed by employees of EPCO pursuant to an administrative services agreement (the “ASA”) or by other service providers.
Our financial position, results of operations and cash flows are subject to certain risks. For information regarding such risks, see “Risk Factors” included under Part I, Item 1A of the 2025 Form 10-K.
We provide investors access to additional information regarding the Partnership and our consolidated businesses, including information relating to governance procedures and principles, through our website, www.enterpriseproducts.com.

Fluctuations in our consolidated revenues and cost of sales amounts are explained in large part by changes in energy commodity prices. An increase in our consolidated marketing revenues due to higher energy commodity sales prices may not result in an increase in gross operating margin or cash available for distribution, since our consolidated cost of sales amounts would also be expected to increase due to comparable increases in the purchase prices of the underlying energy commodities. The same type of relationship would be true in the case of lower energy commodity sales prices and purchase costs.
We attempt to mitigate commodity price exposure through our hedging activities and the use of fee-based arrangements. See Note 13 of the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included under Part I, Item 1 of this quarterly report and “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” under Part I, Item 3 of this quarterly report for information regarding our commodity hedging activities.
Inflation rates in the U.S., which are generally influenced by a variety of macroeconomic and policy-related factors, have moderated from prior levels, but remain a relevant consideration for the overall cost environment. In addition, there is uncertainty of what effect, if any, trade tariffs will have on inflation in future periods. However, to the extent that a rising cost environment impacts our results, there are typically offsetting benefits either inherent in our business or that result from other steps we take proactively to reduce the impact of inflation on our net operating results. These benefits include: (1) provisions included in our long-term fee-based revenue contracts that offset cost increases in the form of rate escalations based on positive changes in the U.S. Consumer Price Index, Producer Price Index for Finished Goods or other factors; (2) provisions in other revenue contracts that enable us to pass through higher energy costs to customers in the form of gas, electricity and fuel rebills or surcharges; and (3) higher commodity prices, which generally enhance our results in the form of increased volumetric throughput and demand for our services. Additionally, we take measures to mitigate the impact of cost increases in certain commodities, including a portion of our electricity needs, using fixed-price, term purchase agreements, or financial derivatives. For these reasons, the increased cost environment, caused in part by inflation, has not had a material impact on our historical results of operations for the periods presented in this report. However, a significant or prolonged period of high inflation could adversely impact our results if costs were to increase at a rate greater than the increase in the revenues we receive.
See “Capital Investments” within this Part I, Item 2 for a discussion of the impact of inflation on our capital investment decisions.

First Quarter of 2026 Compared to First Quarter of 2025. Total revenues for the first quarter of 2026decreased$1.0 billion when compared to the first quarter of 2025 primarily due to lower marketing revenues.
Revenues from the marketing of NGLs decreased $1.4 billion quarter-to-quarter primarily due to lower average sales prices. Revenues from the marketing of petrochemicals and refined products decreased $727 million quarter-to-quarter primarily due to lower sales volumes, which accounted for a $479 million decrease, and lower average sales prices, which accounted for an additional $248 million decrease. Revenues from the marketing of natural gas decreased $154 million quarter-to-quarter primarily due to lower average sales prices. Revenues from the marketing of crude oil increased a net $1.2 billion quarter-to-quarter primarily due to higher sales volumes, which accounted for a $1.4 billion increase, partially offset by lower average sales prices, which accounted for a $259 million decrease.
Revenues from midstream services for the first quarter of 2026increased$51 million when compared to the first quarter of 2025 primarily due to higher demand for transportation services on our NGL and natural gas transportation assets.
Operating costs and expenses
Total operating costs and expenses for the first quarter of 2026decreased$1.2 billion when compared to the first quarter of 2025.
Cost of sales
First Quarter of 2026 Compared to First Quarter of 2025. Cost of sales for the first quarter of 2026decreased a net $1.3 billion when compared to the first quarter of 2025. The cost of sales associated with the marketing of NGLs decreased $1.9 billion quarter-to-quarter primarily due to lower average purchase prices. The cost of sales associated with the marketing of petrochemicals and refined products decreased $645 million quarter-to-quarter primarily due to lower volumes, which accounted for a $527 million decrease, and lower average purchase prices, which accounted for an additional $118 million decrease. The cost of sales associated with the marketing of crude oil increased a net $1.2 billion quarter-to-quarter primarily due to higher volumes which accounted for a $1.4 billion increase, partially offset by lower average purchase prices, which accounted for a $163 million decrease.
Other operating costs and expenses
Other operating costs and expenses for the first quarter of 2026increased$75 million when compared to the first quarter of 2025 primarily due to higher employee compensation and chemical costs.
Depreciation, amortization and accretion expense for the first quarter of 2026increased$64 million when compared to the first quarter of 2025 primarily due to higher depreciation expense on assets placed into full or limited service since the end of the first quarter of 2025.
General and administrative costs
General and administrative costs for the first quarter of 2026increased$4 million when compared to the first quarter of 2025 primarily due to higher employee compensation costs.
Equity in income of unconsolidated affiliates
Equity income from our unconsolidated affiliates for the first quarter of 2026decreased$18 million when compared to the first quarter of 2025 primarily due to lower earnings from investments in crude pipelines.
Operating income
Operating income for the first quarter of 2026increased$134 million when compared to the first quarter of 2025 due to the previously described quarter-to-quarter changes.

(1)The weighted-average interest rates on debt principal outstanding during the first quarters of 2026 and 2025 were 4.71% and 4.70%, respectively.
(2)We capitalize interest costs incurred on funds used to construct property, plant and equipment while the asset is in its construction phase. Capitalized interest amounts become part of the historical cost of an asset and are charged to earnings (as a component of depreciation expense) on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset once the asset enters its intended service. When capitalized interest is recorded, it reduces interest expense from what it would be otherwise. Capitalized interest amounts fluctuate based on the timing of when projects are placed into service, our capital investment levels and the interest rates charged on borrowings.
Interest charged on debt principal outstanding, which is a key driver of interest expense, increased a net $24 million quarter-to-quarter. This increase was primarily due to the issuance of $2.0 billion and $1.65 billion of fixed-rate senior notes in June 2025 and November 2025, respectively, which accounted for a combined increase of $44 million quarter-to-quarter, partially offset by the retirement of $1.15 billion, $750 million and $875 million of fixed-rate senior notes in February 2025, January 2026 and February 2026, respectively, which accounted for a combined decrease of $18 million quarter-to-quarter.
For additional information regarding our debt obligations, see Note 7 of the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included under Part I, Item 1 of this quarterly report. For a discussion of our capital projects, see “Capital Investments” within this Part I, Item 2.
Business Segment Highlights
Our operations are reported under four business segments: (i) NGL Pipelines & Services, (ii) Crude Oil Pipelines & Services, (iii) Natural Gas Pipelines & Services and (iv) Petrochemical & Refined Products Services. Our business segments are generally organized and managed according to the types of services rendered (or technologies employed) and products produced and/or sold.
We evaluate segment performance based on our financial measure of gross operating margin. Gross operating margin is an important performance measure of the core profitability of our operations and forms the basis of our internal financial reporting. We believe that investors benefit from having access to the same financial measures that our management uses in evaluating segment results.
The following table presents gross operating margin by segment and total gross operating margin, a non-generally accepted accounting principle (“non-GAAP”) financial measure, for the periods indicated (dollars in millions):

(1)Within the context of this table, total segment gross operating margin represents a subtotal and corresponds to measures similarly titled within our business segment disclosures found under Note 10 of the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included under Part I, Item 1 of this quarterly report.
Gross operating margin includes equity in the earnings of unconsolidated affiliates, but is exclusive of other income and expense transactions, income taxes, the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles and extraordinary charges. Gross operating margin is presented on a 100% basis before any allocation of earnings to noncontrolling interests. Our calculation of gross operating margin may or may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Segment gross operating margin for NGL Pipelines & Services and Crude Oil Pipelines & Services reflect adjustments for shipper make-up rights that are included in management’s evaluation of segment results. However, these adjustments are excluded from non-GAAP total gross operating margin.
The GAAP financial measure most directly comparable to total gross operating margin is operating income. For a discussion of operating income and its components, see the previous section titled “Income Statement Highlights” within this Part I, Item 2.

Each of our business segments benefits from the supporting role of our marketing activities. The main purpose of our marketing activities is to support the utilization and expansion of assets across our midstream energy asset network by increasing the volumes handled by such assets, which results in additional fee-based earnings for each business segment. In performing these support roles, our marketing activities also seek to participate in supply and demand opportunities as a supplemental source of gross operating margin for us. The financial results of our marketing efforts fluctuate due to changes in volumes handled and overall market conditions, which are influenced by current and forward market prices for the products bought and sold.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Based on current market conditions (as of the filing date of this quarterly report), we believe that the Partnership and its consolidated businesses will have sufficient liquidity, cash flow from operations and access to capital markets to fund their capital investments and working capital needs for the reasonably foreseeable future. At March 31, 2026, we had $3.3 billion of consolidated liquidity. This amount was comprised of $191 million of unrestricted cash on hand and $3.1 billion of available borrowing capacity under EPO’s revolving credit facilities, which is the net of $4.2 billion of total borrowing capacity under EPO’s revolving credit facilities and $1.1 billion outstanding under EPO’s commercial paper program.
We may issue debt and equity securities to assist us in meeting our future funding and liquidity requirements, including those related to capital investments. We have a universal shelf registration statement on file with the SEC that allows the Partnership and EPO to issue an unlimited amount of equity and debt securities, respectively. In addition, we have a registration statement on file with the SEC covering the issuance of up to $2.5 billion of the Partnership’s common units in amounts, at prices and on terms based on market conditions and other factors at the time of such offerings (referred to as the Partnership’s at-the-market (“ATM”) program).
Enterprise Declares Cash Distribution for First Quarter of 2026
On April 9, 2026, we announced that the Board declared a quarterly cash distribution of $0.55 per common unit, or $2.20 per common unit on an annualized basis, to be paid to the Partnership’s common unitholders with respect to the first quarter of 2026. The quarterly distribution is payable on May 14, 2026 to unitholders of record as of the close of business on April 30, 2026. The total amount to be paid is $1.2 billion, which includes $12 million for distribution equivalent rights on phantom unit awards.
The payment of quarterly cash distributions is subject to management’s evaluation of our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows in connection with such payments and Board approval. Management will evaluate any future increases in cash distributions on a quarterly basis.
At March 31, 2026, the average maturity of EPO’s consolidated debt obligations was approximately 16.9 years. The following table presents the scheduled maturities of principal amounts of EPO’s consolidated debt obligations at March 31, 2026 for the years indicated (dollars in millions):

In March 2026, EPO entered into a new 364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement (the “March 2026 $1.5 Billion 364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement”) that replaced its prior 364-day revolving credit agreement. The March 2026 $1.5 Billion 364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement matures in March 2027. EPO’s borrowing capacity was unchanged from the prior 364-day revolving credit agreement. As of March 31, 2026, there are no principal amounts outstanding under this new revolving credit agreement.
For additional information regarding our consolidated debt obligations, see Note 7 of the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included under Part I, Item 1 of this quarterly report.
Credit Ratings
As of May 7, 2026, the investment-grade credit ratings of EPO’s long-term senior unsecured debt securities were A- from Standard and Poor’s, A3 from Moody’s and A- from Fitch Ratings. In addition, the credit ratings of EPO’s short-term senior unsecured debt securities were A-2 from Standard and Poor’s, P-2 from Moody’s and F-2 from Fitch Ratings. EPO’s credit ratings reflect only the view of a rating agency and should not be interpreted as a recommendation to buy, sell or hold any of our securities. A credit rating can be revised upward or downward or withdrawn at any time by a rating agency, if it determines that circumstances warrant such a change. A credit rating from one rating agency should be evaluated independently of credit ratings from other rating agencies.
Common Unit Repurchases Under 2019 Buyback Program
In January 2019, we announced that the Board had approved a $2.0 billion multi-year unit buyback program (the “2019 Buyback Program”), which provides the Partnership with an additional method to return capital to investors. In October 2025, we announced that the Board approved an increase to the authorized maximum aggregate purchase price (excluding fees, commissions and other ancillary expenses) of the Partnership’s common units that may be repurchased under the 2019 Buyback Program from $2.0 billion to $5.0 billion. The Partnership repurchased 3,124,192 common units during the three months ended March 31, 2026. The total cost of these repurchases, including commissions and fees was $116 million. As of March 31, 2026, the remaining available capacity under the 2019 Buyback Program was $3.4 billion.
Cash Flow Statement Highlights
The following table summarizes our consolidated cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities for the periods indicated (dollars in millions).
Net cash flow provided by operating activities are largely dependent on earnings from our consolidated business activities. Changes in energy commodity prices may impact the demand for natural gas, NGLs, crude oil, petrochemicals and refined products, which could impact sales of our products and the demand for our midstream services. Changes in demand for our products and services may be caused by other factors, including prevailing economic conditions, reduced demand by consumers for the end products made with hydrocarbon products, increased competition, public health emergencies, adverse weather conditions and government regulations affecting prices and production levels. We may also incur credit and price risk to the extent customers do not fulfill their contractual obligations to us in connection with our marketing activities and long-term take-or-pay and dedication agreements. For a more complete discussion of these and other risk factors pertinent to our business, see “Risk Factors” included under Part I, Item 1A of the 2025 Form 10-K.
For additional information regarding our cash flow amounts, please refer to the Unaudited Condensed Statements of Consolidated Cash Flows included under Part I, Item 1 of this quarterly report.
The following information highlights significant quarter-to-quarter fluctuations in our consolidated cash flow amounts:
Operating activities
Net cash flow provided by operating activities for the first quarter of 2026decreased a net $845 million when compared to the first quarter of 2025 primarily due to:
•a $1.1 billion quarter-to-quarter decrease from changes in operating accounts primarily due to the use of working capital employed in our marketing activities, which includes the impact of (i) fluctuations in commodity prices, (ii) timing of our inventory purchase and sale strategies, and (iii) changes in margin deposit requirements associated with our commodity derivative instruments; partially offset by
•a $232 million quarter-to-quarter increase resulting from higher partnership earnings (determined by adjusting our $90 million quarter-to-quarter increase in net income for changes in the non-cash items identified on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Consolidated Cash Flows).
For information regarding significant quarter-to-quarter changes in our consolidated net income and underlying segment results, see “Income Statement Highlights” and “Business Segment Highlights” within this Part I, Item 2.
Investing activities
Net cash flow used in investing activities during the first quarter of 2026decreased$666 million when compared to the first quarter of 2025 primarily due to:
•a $592 million quarter-to-quarter increase in proceeds from asset sales and other matters primarily attributable to the $595 million second installment payment received in January 2026 related to the sale of a 40% undivided joint interest in the Bahia NGL Pipeline; and
•a $79 million quarter-to-quarter decrease in investments for property, plant and equipment (see “Capital Investments” within this Part I, Item 2 for additional information).
Financing activities
Net cash flow used in financing activities during the first quarter of 2026increased$288 million when compared to the first quarter of 2025 primarily due to:
•a net cash outflow of $489 million related to debt transactions that occurred during the first quarter of 2026 compared to a net cash outflow of $332 million related to debt transactions that occurred during the first quarter of 2025. During the first quarter of 2026, we repaid $1.63 billion aggregate principal amount of senior notes, partially offset by net issuances of $1.1 billion under EPO’s commercial paper program. During the first quarter of 2025, we repaid $1.15 billion aggregate principal amount of senior notes, partially offset by net issuances of $830 million under EPO’s commercial paper program;
•a $56 millionquarter-to-quarter increase in the repurchase of common units under the 2019 Buyback Program; and
•a $30 millionquarter-to-quarterincrease in cash distributions paid to common unitholders primarily attributable to increases in the quarterly cash distribution rate per unit.
Distributable Cash Flow and Operational Distributable Cash Flow
Our partnership agreement requires us to make quarterly distributions to our common unitholders of all available cash, after any cash reserves established by Enterprise GP in its sole discretion. Cash reserves include those for the proper conduct of our business, including those for capital investments, debt service, working capital, operating expenses, common unit repurchases, commitments and contingencies and other amounts. The retention of cash allows us to reinvest in our growth and reduce our future reliance on the equity and debt capital markets.
We measure available cash by reference to distributable cash flow (“DCF”), which is a non-GAAP cash flow measure. DCF is an important financial measure for our common unitholders since it serves as an indicator of our success in providing a cash return on investment. Specifically, this financial measure indicates to investors whether or not we are generating cash flows at a level that can sustain our declared quarterly cash distributions. DCF is also a quantitative standard used by the investment community with respect to publicly traded partnerships since the value of a partnership unit is, in part, measured by its yield, which is based on the amount of cash distributions a partnership can pay to a unitholder. Our management compares the DCF we generate to the cash distributions we expect to pay our common unitholders. Using this metric, management computes our distribution coverage ratio. Our calculation of DCF may or may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.
Based on the level of available cash each quarter, management proposes a quarterly cash distribution rate to the Board, which has sole authority in approving such matters. Enterprise GP has a non-economic ownership interest in the Partnership and is not entitled to receive any cash distributions from it based on incentive distribution rights or other equity interests.
Operational distributable cash flow (“Operational DCF”), which is defined as DCF excluding the impact of proceeds from asset sales and other matters and monetization of interest rate derivative instruments, is a supplemental non-GAAP liquidity measure that quantifies the portion of cash available for distribution to common unitholders that was generated from our normal operations. We believe that it is important to consider this non-GAAP measure as it provides an enhanced perspective of our assets’ ability to generate cash flows without regard for certain items that do not reflect our core operations.
Our use of DCF and Operational DCF for the limited purposes described above and in this quarterly report is not a substitute for net cash flow provided by operating activities, which is the most comparable GAAP measure to DCF and Operational DCF. For a discussion of net cash flow provided by operating activities, see “Cash Flow Statement Highlights” within this Part I, Item 2.

•a ninth natural gas processing train (“Athena”) in the Midland Basin (fourth quarter of 2026);
•a natural gas processing train in the Midland Basin (third quarter of 2027);
•a natural gas processing train in the Delaware Basin (fourth quarter of 2027); and
•the expansion and extension of the Bahia NGL Pipeline (fourth quarter of 2027).
Based on information currently available, we expect our total organic capital investments for 2026, net of contributions from noncontrolling interests, to approximate $3.5 to $3.8 billion, which reflects organic growth capital investments of $2.9 to $3.2 billion and sustaining capital expenditures of $580 million. In addition, we expect approximately $600 million in cash proceeds from asset sales and other matters during 2026, primarily from the second installment payment received in January 2026 related to the sale of a 40% undivided joint interest in our Bahia NGL Pipeline, which may be used to offset a portion of our forecasted organic growth capital investments.
Our forecast of capital investments is dependent upon our ability to generate the required funds from either operating cash flows or other means, including borrowings under debt agreements, the issuance of additional equity and debt securities, and potential divestitures. We may revise our forecast of capital investments due to factors beyond our control, such as adverse economic conditions, weather-related issues and changes in supplier prices resulting from raw material or labor shortages, supply chain disruptions or inflation. Furthermore, our forecast of capital investments may change over time based on future decisions by management, which may include changing the scope or timing of projects or cancelling projects altogether. Our success in raising capital, having the ability to increase revenues commensurate with cost increases and our ability to partner with other companies to share project costs and risks continue to be significant factors in determining how much capital we can invest. We believe our access to capital resources is sufficient to meet the demands of our current and future growth needs, and although we currently expect to make the forecast capital investments noted above, we may revise our plans in response to changes in economic and capital market conditions.

(1)Growth capital, sustaining capital and asset acquisition amounts presented in the table above are presented on a cash basis. In total, these amounts represent “Capital expenditures” as presented on our Unaudited Condensed Statements of Consolidated Cash Flows.
(2)Growth capital projects either (a) result in new sources of cash flow due to enhancements of or additions to existing assets (e.g., additional revenue streams, cost savings resulting from debottlenecking of a facility, etc.) or (b) expand our asset base through construction of new facilities that will generate additional revenue streams and cash flows.
(3)Sustaining capital projects are capital expenditures (as defined by GAAP) resulting from improvements to existing assets. Such expenditures serve to maintain existing operations but do not generate additional revenues or result in significant cost savings. Sustaining capital expenditures include the costs of major maintenance activities at our reaction-based plants, which are accounted for using the deferral method.
Comparison of First Quarter of 2026 with First Quarter of 2025
In total, investments in growth capital projects decreased$145 millionquarter-to-quarter primarily due to the following:
•lower investments at our Mont Belvieu area NGL fractionation complex (Frac 14 placed into service during the fourth quarter of 2025), which accounted for a $58 million decrease;
•lower investments in ethylene, ethane, and LPG export expansion and enhancement projects that support our Gulf Coast terminals (the first phase of our Neches River export facility placed into service in July 2025 and the second phase of enhancements at our Morgan’s Point terminal placed into service in December 2025), which accounted for an additional $46 million decrease; and
•lower investments in the construction of natural gas processing trains and related gathering system expansions in the Delaware and Midland Basins (two natural gas processing trains placed into service during the third quarter of 2025), which accounted for a $40 million decrease.
Investments attributable to sustaining capital projects increased$66 millionquarter-to-quarter primarily due to higher major maintenance activities performed at certain of our reaction-based plants (e.g., our octane enhancement facilities) and fluctuations in timing and costs of pipeline integrity and similar projects.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
A discussion of our critical accounting policies and estimates is included in our 2025 Form 10-K. The following types of estimates, in our opinion, are subjective in nature, require the exercise of professional judgment and involve complex analysis:
•depreciation methods and estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment;
•measuring recoverability of long-lived assets and fair value of equity method investments;
•amortization methods of customer relationships and contract-based intangible assets;
•methods we employ to measure the fair value of goodwill and related assets; and
•the use of estimates for revenue and expenses.
When used to prepare our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the foregoing types of estimates are based on our current knowledge and understanding of the underlying facts and circumstances. Such estimates may be revised as a result of changes in the underlying facts and circumstances. Subsequent changes in these estimates may have a significant impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
The Partnership (the “Parent Guarantor”) has guaranteed the payment of principal and interest on the consolidated debt obligations of EPO (the “Subsidiary Issuer”) (collectively, the “Guaranteed Debt”). If EPO were to default on any of its Guaranteed Debt, the Partnership would be responsible for full and unconditional repayment of such obligations. At March 31, 2026, the total amount of Guaranteed Debt was $34.5 billion, which was comprised of $30.8 billion of EPO’s senior notes, $2.3 billion of EPO’s junior subordinated notes, $1.1 billion of commercial paper and $287 million of related accrued interest.
The Partnership’s guarantees of EPO’s senior note obligations, commercial paper notes and borrowings under bank credit facilities represent unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of the Partnership that rank equal in right of payment to all other existing or future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of the Partnership. In addition, these guarantees effectively rank junior in right of payment to any existing or future indebtedness of the Partnership that is secured and unsubordinated, to the extent of the assets securing such indebtedness.
The Partnership’s guarantees of EPO’s junior subordinated notes represent unsecured and subordinated obligations of the Partnership that rank equal in right of payment to all other existing or future subordinated indebtedness of the Partnership and senior in right of payment to all existing or future equity securities of the Partnership. The Partnership’s guarantees of EPO’s junior subordinated notes effectively rank junior in right of payment to (i) any existing or future indebtedness of the Partnership that is secured, to the extent of the assets securing such indebtedness and (ii) all other existing or future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of the Partnership.
The Partnership may be released from its guarantee obligations only in connection with EPO’s exercise of its legal or covenant defeasance options as described in the underlying agreements.
Selected Financial Information of Obligor Group
The following tables present summarized financial information of the Partnership (as Parent Guarantor) and EPO (as Subsidiary Issuer) on a combined basis (collectively, the “Obligor Group”), after the elimination of intercompany balances and transactions among the Obligor Group.
In accordance with Rule 13.01 of Regulation S-X, the summarized financial information of the Obligor Group excludes the Obligor Group’s equity in income and investments in the consolidated subsidiaries of EPO that are not party to the guarantee obligations (the “Non-Obligor Subsidiaries”). The total carrying value of the Obligor Group’s investments in the Non-Obligor Subsidiaries was $55.2 billion at March 31, 2026. The Obligor Group’s equity in the earnings of the Non-Obligor Subsidiaries for the first quarter of 2026 was $1.7 billion. Although the net assets and earnings of the Non-Obligor Subsidiaries are not directly available to the holders of the Guaranteed Debt to satisfy the repayment of such obligations, there are no significant restrictions on the ability of the Non-Obligor Subsidiaries to pay distributions or make loans to EPO or the Partnership. EPO exercises control over the Non-Obligor Subsidiaries. We continue to believe that the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Partnership presented under Part I, Item 1 of this quarterly report provide a more appropriate view of our credit standing. Our investment grade credit ratings are based on the Partnership’s consolidated financial statements and not the Obligor Group’s financial information presented below.

Related Party Transactions
For information regarding our related party transactions, see Note 14 of the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included under Part I, Item 1 of this quarterly report.
In the normal course of our business operations, we are exposed to certain risks, including changes in interest rates and commodity prices. In order to manage risks associated with assets, liabilities and certain anticipated future transactions, we use derivative instruments such as futures, forward contracts, swaps and other instruments with similar characteristics. Substantially all of our derivatives are used for non-trading activities.
We assess the risk associated with each of our derivative instrument portfolios using a sensitivity analysis model. This approach measures the change in fair value of the derivative instrument portfolio based on a hypothetical 10% change in the underlying interest rates or quoted market prices on a particular day. In addition to these variables, the fair value of each portfolio is influenced by changes in the notional amounts of the instruments outstanding. The sensitivity analysis approach does not reflect the impact that the same hypothetical price movement would have on the hedged exposures to which they relate. Therefore, the impact on the fair value of a derivative instrument resulting from a change in interest rates or quoted market prices (as applicable) would normally be offset by a corresponding gain or loss on the hedged debt instrument, inventory value or forecasted transaction assuming:
•the derivative instrument functions effectively as a hedge of the underlying risk;
•the derivative instrument is not closed out in advance of its expected term; and
•the hedged forecasted transaction occurs within the expected time period.
We routinely review the effectiveness of our derivative instrument portfolios in light of current market conditions. Accordingly, the nature and volume of our derivative instruments may change depending on the specific exposure being managed.
Commodity Hedging Activities
The price of energy commodities such as natural gas, NGLs, crude oil, petrochemicals and refined products and power are subject to fluctuations in response to changes in supply and demand, market conditions and a variety of additional factors that are beyond our control. In order to manage such price risks, we enter into commodity derivative instruments such as physical forward contracts, futures contracts, fixed-for-float swaps and basis swaps.
At March 31, 2026, our predominant commodity hedging strategies consisted of (i) hedging anticipated future purchases and sales of commodity products associated with transportation, storage and blending activities, (ii) hedging natural gas processing margins, (iii) hedging the fair value of commodity products held in inventory and (iv) hedging anticipated future purchases of power for certain operations in Southeast Texas. For a summary of our portfolio of commodity derivative instruments outstanding, see Note 13 of the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included under Part I, Item 1 of this quarterly report.
Sensitivity Analysis
The following tables show the effect of hypothetical price movements on the estimated fair values of our principal commodity derivative instrument portfolios at the dates indicated (dollars in millions).
The fair value information presented in the sensitivity analysis tables excludes the impact of applying Chicago Mercantile Exchange (“CME”) Rule 814, which deems that financial instruments cleared by the CME are settled daily in connection with variation margin payments. As a result of this exchange rule, CME-related derivatives are considered to have no fair value at the balance sheet date for financial reporting purposes; however, the derivatives remain outstanding and subject to future commodity price fluctuations until they are settled in accordance with their contractual terms. Derivative transactions cleared on exchanges other than the CME (e.g., the Intercontinental Exchange or ICE) continue to be reported on a gross basis.

Interest Rate Hedging Activities
We may utilize interest rate swaps, forward-starting swaps, options to enter into forward-starting swaps (“swaptions”), treasury locks and similar derivative instruments to manage our exposure to changes in interest rates charged on borrowings under certain consolidated debt agreements. This strategy may be used in controlling our overall cost of capital associated with such borrowings. As of the filing date of this quarterly report, we do not have any interest rate hedging instruments outstanding.
As of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, our management carried out an evaluation, with the participation of (i) A. James Teague, Co-Chief Executive Officer of Enterprise GP, (ii) W. Randall Fowler, Co-Chief Executive Officer of Enterprise GP and (iii) R. Daniel Boss, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Enterprise GP, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Based on this evaluation, as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, Messrs. Teague, Fowler and Boss concluded:
(i)that our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and financial officers, as appropriate to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosures; and
(ii)that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) during the first quarter of 2026, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
Section 302 and 906 Certifications
The required certifications of Messrs. Teague, Fowler and Boss under Sections 302 and 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 are included as exhibits to this quarterly report (see Exhibits 31 and 32 under Part II, Item 6 of this quarterly report).
As part of our normal business activities, we may be named as defendants in litigation and legal proceedings, including those arising from regulatory and environmental matters. Although we are insured against various risks to the extent we believe it is prudent, there is no assurance that the nature and amount of such insurance will be adequate, in every case, to indemnify us against liabilities arising from future legal proceedings. We will vigorously defend the Partnership in litigation matters.
For additional information regarding our litigation matters, see Note 16 of the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included under Part I, Item 1 of this quarterly report.
On occasion, we are assessed monetary penalties by governmental authorities related to administrative or judicial proceedings involving environmental matters. The following information summarizes matters where the eventual resolution of each of these matters may result in monetary sanctions in excess of $0.3 million. We do not expect that any expenditures related to the following matters will be material to our consolidated financial statements.
•In June 2019, we received a Notice of Violation from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) in connection with regulatory requirements applicable to facilities that we operate near Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
•In August 2022, we received a Notice of Violation from the U.S. EPA alleging that gasoline at two of our refined products terminals in Texas had exceeded certain Clean Air Act-related standards during two past regulatory control periods.
•In November 2024 and January 2025, we received notices that the New Mexico Environment Department intended to pursue enforcement for alleged exceedances of emission limits, and alleged associated late emissions reports, at our recently acquired Pinon Midstream treating facility and compressor station on various occasions from 2021 through October 2024 (prior to our acquisition date).
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.
An investment in our securities involves certain risks. Security holders and potential investors in our securities should carefully consider the risks described under “Risk Factors” set forth in Part I, Item 1A of our 2025 Form 10-K, in addition to other information in such annual report and this quarterly report. The risk factors set forth in our 2025 Form 10-K are important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those contained in any written or oral forward-looking statements made by us or on our behalf.
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS.
Recent Issuances of Unregistered Securities
Holders of our Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Units (“preferred units”) are entitled to receive cumulative quarterly distributions at a rate of 7.25% per annum. We may satisfy our obligation to pay distributions to the preferred unitholders through the issuance, in whole or in part, of additional preferred units (referred to as paid-in-kind or “PIK” distributions), with the remainder in cash, subject to certain rights of a holder to elect all cash and other conditions as described in our partnership agreement.
The Partnership made quarterly PIK distributions to preferred unitholders in the first quarter of 2026 of 22,424 preferred units. All PIK distributions made during the first quarter of 2026 were to OTA Holdings, Inc. (“OTA”), an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of the Partnership. The preferred units held by OTA are accounted for as treasury units in consolidation. For additional information regarding the preferred units, see Note 8 of the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included under Part I, Item 1 of this quarterly report.
The issuances of preferred units as PIK distributions during the first quarter of 2026 were undertaken in reliance upon an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) thereof.
Other than as described above, there were no sales of unregistered equity securities during the first quarter of 2026.
