GEL Genesis Energy LP - 10-K

Item 1A. Risk Factors

The following risk factors and other information included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K should be carefully considered. The occurrence of any of the following risks or of unknown risks and uncertainties may adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition.

Risk Factors Summary

Risks Related to the Operations of Our Business

• We may not be able to fully execute our growth strategy due to various factors, such as unreceptive capital markets and/or excessive competition for acquisitions.

• We may not have sufficient cash from operations after the establishment of cash reserves and payment of fees and expenses to pay the current level of quarterly distributions.

• Our profitability and cash flow are dependent on our ability to increase or, at a minimum, maintain our current commodity (crude oil, natural gas, refined products, NaHS and caustic soda) volumes, which often depend on actions and commitments by parties beyond our control.

• Many of our crude oil and natural gas transportation customers are producers whose drilling activity levels and spending for transportation have historically been, and may continue to be, impacted by volatility in the commodity markets.

• Fluctuations in prices for crude oil, natural gas, refined petroleum products, NaHS and caustic soda could adversely affect our business.

Risks Related to Liquidity and Financing

• Our indebtedness could adversely restrict our ability to operate, affect our financial condition, prevent us from complying with requirements under our debt instruments and prevent us from paying cash distributions to our unitholders.

• We may not be able to access adequate capital (debt and/or equity) on economically viable terms, or any terms.

• The IRA could accelerate the transition to a low carbon economy away from oil and natural gas.

Table o f Contents

• Inflationary pressures and associated changes in monetary policy have increased and may further increase our operating costs, which in turn have caused and may continue to cause our capital expenditures and operating costs to rise.

• Non-traditional investment criteria used by many investors may diminish investor interest in us and reduce the value of our common units and our access to capital.

Risks Related to Legal and Regulatory Compliance

• Our operations are subject to federal and state rate regulation and federal, state, and local environmental protection and safety laws and regulations.

• Climate change legislation and regulatory initiatives may decrease demand for the products we store, transport and sell and increase our operating costs.

• Changes in environmental laws could increase costs and harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

• Compliance with and changes in cybersecurity requirements have a cost impact on our business.

Risks Related to Our Partnership Structure

• Individual members of the Davison family can exert significant influence over us and may have conflicts of interest with us and may be permitted to favor their interests to the detriment of our other unitholders.

• Our Class B Common Units may be transferred to a third party without unitholder consent, which could affect our strategic direction.

• The interruption of distributions to us from our subsidiaries and joint ventures could affect our ability to make payments on indebtedness or cash distributions to our unitholders.

• We do not have the same flexibility as other types of organizations to accumulate cash and equity to protect against illiquidity in the future.

Tax Risks to Our Unitholders

• Our tax treatment depends on our status as a partnership for federal income tax purposes, as well as us not being subject to a material amount of entity-level taxation by individual states. If the Internal Revenue Service, or IRS, were to treat us as a corporation (for U.S. federal income tax purposes) or if we were to become subject to a material amount of entity-level taxation for state tax purposes, then our cash available for distribution to our unitholders could be substantially reduced.

• Our unitholders will be required to pay taxes on income (as well as deemed distributions, if any) from us even if they do not receive any cash distributions from us.

• Our unitholders will likely be subject to state and local taxes in states where they do not live as a result of an investment in our units.

General Risks

• We are exposed to the credit risk of our customers in the ordinary course of our business activities.

• A natural disaster, pandemic, epidemic, accident, terrorist attack or other interruption event could result in an economic slowdown, severe personal injury, property damage and/or environmental damage, which could curtail our operations or otherwise adversely affect our assets and cash flow.

• We cannot predict the impact of international military conflicts and the related humanitarian crisis or other geopolitical tensions on the global economy, energy markets, geopolitical stability and our business.

• Our business could be negatively impacted by security threats, including cybersecurity threats, and related disruptions.

• Artificial intelligence presents risks and challenges that can impact our business, including by posing security risks to our confidential information, proprietary information and personal data.

• Our significant unitholders may sell units or other limited partner interests in the trading market, which could reduce the market price of our common units.

• We may issue additional common units without unitholders’ approval, which would dilute their ownership interests.

Risks Related to the Operations of Our Business

We may not be able to fully execute our growth strategy due to various factors, such as unreceptive capital markets and/or excessive competition for acquisitions.

Our strategy contemplates growth through the development and acquisition of a wide range of midstream and other infrastructure while maintaining a strong balance sheet. This strategy includes constructing and acquiring additional assets and businesses to enhance our ability to compete effectively, diversify our asset portfolio and, thereby, provide more stable cash flow. We regularly consider and enter into discussions regarding additional potential joint ventures, stand-alone projects and other transactions that we believe will present opportunities to realize synergies, increase our market position and, ultimately, increase distributions to our unitholders. A number of factors could adversely affect our ability to execute our growth strategy,

Table o f Contents

including an inability to raise adequate capital on acceptable terms, competition from competitors and/or an inability to successfully integrate one or more acquired businesses into our operations.

We will need new capital to finance the future development and acquisition of assets and businesses. Limitations on our access to capital will impair our ability to execute this strategy. Expensive capital will limit our ability to develop or acquire accretive assets. Although we intend to continue to expand our business, this strategy may require substantial capital, and we may not be able to raise the necessary funds on satisfactory terms, if at all.

In addition, we experience competition for the assets we purchase or contemplate purchasing. Increased competition for a limited pool of assets could result in our not being the successful bidder more often or our acquiring assets at a higher relative price than that which we have paid historically. Either occurrence would limit our ability to fully execute our growth strategy. Our ability to execute our growth strategy may impact the market price of our securities.

We may be unable to integrate successfully businesses we acquire. We may incur substantial expenses, delays or other problems in connection with our growth strategy that could negatively impact our results of operations. Moreover, acquisitions and business expansions involve numerous risks, including: difficulties in the assimilation of the operations, technologies, services and products of the acquired companies or business segments; inefficiencies and complexities that can arise because of unfamiliarity with new assets and the businesses associated with them, including unfamiliarity with their markets; and diversion of the attention of management and other personnel from day-to-day business to the development or acquisition of new businesses and other business opportunities.

We may not have sufficient cash from operations after the establishment of cash reserves and payment of fees and expenses to pay the current level of quarterly distributions.

The amount of cash we distribute to our common unitholders principally depends upon margins we generate from our businesses, which fluctuate from quarter to quarter based on, among other things: the volumes and prices at which we purchase and sell crude oil, natural gas, refined products and caustic soda; the volumes of NaHS, that we produce and the prices at which we sell NaHS; the demand for our services; the level of competition; the level of our operating costs; the effect of worldwide energy conservation measures; governmental regulations and taxes; the level of our general and administrative costs; and prevailing economic conditions.

In addition, the actual amount of cash we will have available for distribution to our common unitholders will depend on other factors that include: our debt service requirements; distributions we pay to our Class A Convertible Preferred unitholders; the level of capital expenditures and costs associated with asset retirement obligations we may incur, including the cost of acquisitions (if any); fluctuations in our working capital; restrictions on distributions contained in our debt instruments or organizational documents governing our joint ventures and unrestricted subsidiaries; our ability to borrow under our senior secured credit facility to pay distributions, and the amount of cash reserves required in the conduct of our business.

Our ability to pay distributions each quarter depends primarily on our cash flow, including cash flow from operations and our cash requirements, which includes capital expenditures amongst other items, and is not solely a function of profitability, which will be affected by non-cash items. As a result, we may make cash distributions during periods when we record losses and we may not make distributions during periods when we record net income.

Our profitability and cash flow are dependent on our ability to increase or, at a minimum, maintain our current commodity (crude oil, natural gas, refined products, NaHS and caustic soda) volumes, which often depend on actions and commitments by parties beyond our control.

We access commodity volumes through various sources, such as our producers, service providers (including gatherers, shippers, marketers and other aggregators) and refiners. Depending on the needs of each customer and the market in which it operates, we can provide a service for a fee (as in the case of our pipeline, terminal, marine vessel transportation and railcar unloading operations) or we can acquire the commodity from our customer and resell it to another party.

Our source of volumes depends on successful exploration and development of additional crude oil and natural gas reserves by others; continued demand for refining and our related sulfur removal and other services, for which we are paid in NaHS; the breadth and depth of our logistics operations; the extent that third parties provide NaHS for resale; and other matters beyond our control.

The crude oil, natural gas and refined products available to us and our refinery customers are derived from reserves produced from existing wells, and these reserves naturally decline over time. In order to offset this natural decline, our energy infrastructure assets must access additional reserves. Additionally, some of the projects we have recently completed are dependent on reserves that we expect to be produced from newly discovered properties that producers are currently developing.

Finding and developing new reserves is very expensive, requiring large capital expenditures by producers for exploration and development drilling, installing production facilities and constructing pipeline extensions to reach new wells. Many economic and business factors out of our control can adversely affect the decision by any producer to explore for and

Table o f Contents

develop new reserves. These factors include the prevailing market price of the commodity, the capital budgets of producers, the depletion rate of existing reservoirs, the success of new wells drilled, environmental concerns, regulatory initiatives, cost and availability of equipment, capital budget limitations or the lack of available capital and other matters beyond our control. Additional reserves, if discovered, may not be developed in the near future or at all. The volatility in crude oil and natural gas prices has forced some producers to significantly defer or curtail their planned capital expenditures. Thus, crude oil and natural gas production in our market areas could decline, which could have a material negative impact on our revenues and prospects.

Demand for our midstream services is dependent on the demand for crude oil and natural gas. Any decrease in demand for crude oil or natural gas, including by those refineries or connecting carriers to which we deliver could adversely affect our cash flows. The demand for crude oil also is dependent on the competition from refineries, the impact of future economic conditions, fuel conservation measures, alternative fuel requirements or alternative fuel sources such as electricity, coal, fuel oils or nuclear energy, government regulation or technological advances in fuel economy and energy generation devices, all of which could reduce demand for our services. A reduction in demand for our services in the markets we serve could result in impairments of our assets and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our ability to access NaHS depends primarily on the demand for our proprietary sulfur removal process. Demand for our sulfur services could be adversely affected by many factors, including lower refinery utilization rates, U.S. refineries accessing more “sweet” (instead of “sour”) crude and the development of alternative sulfur removal processes. We are dependent on third parties for caustic soda for use in our sulfur removal process as well as volumes to market to third parties. Should regulatory requirements or operational difficulties disrupt the manufacture of caustic soda by these producers, we could be affected. Caustic soda is a major component of the proprietary sulfur removal process we provide to our refinery customers. Because we are a large consumer of caustic soda, we can leverage our economies of scale and logistics capabilities to effectively market caustic soda to third parties. NaHS, the resulting by-product from our sulfur removal operations, is a vital ingredient in a number of industrial and consumer products and processes. Any decrease in the supply of caustic soda could affect our ability to provide sulfur removal services to refiners and any decrease in the demand for NaHS by the parties to whom we sell the NaHS could adversely affect our business.

We face intense competition to obtain crude oil, natural gas and refined products volumes.

Our competitors, gatherers, transporters, marketers, brokers and other aggregators, include integrated, large and small independent energy companies, as well as their marketing affiliates, who vary widely in size, financial resources and experience. Some of these competitors have capital resources many times greater than ours and control substantially greater supplies of crude oil, natural gas and refined products.

Even if reserves exist or refined products are produced in the areas accessed by our facilities, we may not be chosen by the refiners or producers to gather, refine, market, transport, store or otherwise handle any of these crude oil and natural gas reserves, NaHS, caustic soda or other refined products. We compete with others for any such volumes on the basis of many factors, including: geographic proximity to the production and/or refineries; costs of connection; available capacity; rates; logistical efficiency in all of our operations; operational efficiency in our sulfur removal business; customer relationships; and access to markets.

Additionally, on our onshore pipelines, most of our third-party shippers do not have long-term contractual commitments to ship crude oil on our pipelines. A decision by a shipper to substantially reduce or cease to ship volumes of crude oil on our pipelines could cause a significant decline in our revenues. In many of our onshore pipeline locations, we are dependent on interconnections with other pipelines to provide shippers with a market for their crude oil. Any reduction of throughput available to our shippers on these interconnecting pipelines as a result of testing, pipeline repair, reduced operating pressures or other causes could result in reduced throughput on our pipelines that would adversely affect our cash flows and results of operations.

Fluctuations in demand for crude oil or natural gas or availability of refined products or NaHS, such as those caused by refinery downtime or shutdowns, can negatively affect our operating results. Reduced demand in areas we service with our pipelines, marine vessels, rail facilities and trucks can result in less demand for our transportation services.

Many of our crude oil and natural gas transportation customers are producers whose drilling activity levels and spending for transportation have historically been, and may continue to be, impacted by volatility in the commodity markets.

Many of our customers finance their drilling activities through cash flow from operations, the incurrence of debt or the issuance of equity. Extreme volatility in commodity prices has caused many of our customers’ equity value to substantially decline. New credit facilities and other debt financing from institutional sources have generally become more difficult and expensive to obtain, and there may be a general reduction in the amount of credit available in the markets in which we conduct business. Over the last three years, prices for crude oil ranged from a high of over $90 per barrel to a low of less than $60 per barrel, and such volatility, or even more extreme volatility, may continue going forward. Adverse price changes put downward pressure on drilling budgets for crude oil and natural gas producers, which have resulted, and could continue to result, in lower

Table o f Contents

volumes than we otherwise would have seen being transported on our pipeline and transportation systems, which could have a material negative impact on our revenues and prospects.

Fluctuations in prices for crude oil, natural gas, refined petroleum products, NaHS and caustic soda could adversely affect our business.

Because we purchase (or otherwise acquire) and sell crude oil, natural gas, refined petroleum products, NaHS, and caustic soda we are exposed to some direct commodity price risks. Prices for those commodities can fluctuate in response to changes in supply, market uncertainty and a variety of additional factors that are beyond our control, which could have an adverse effect on our cash flows, profit and/or Segment Margin. We attempt to limit those commodity price risks through back-to-back purchases and sales, hedges and other contractual arrangements; however, we cannot completely eliminate our commodity price risk exposure.

Our use of derivative financial instruments could result in financial losses.

We use derivative financial instruments and other hedging mechanisms from time to time to limit a portion of the effects resulting from changes in commodity prices. To the extent we hedge our commodity price exposure, we forego the benefits we would otherwise experience if commodity prices were to increase. In addition, we could experience losses resulting from our hedging and other derivative positions. Such losses could occur under various circumstances, including if our counterparty does not perform its obligations under the hedge arrangement, our hedge is imperfect or our hedging policies and procedures are not followed.

Non-utilization of certain assets could significantly reduce our profitability due to the fixed costs incurred with respect to such assets.

From time to time in connection with our business, we may lease or otherwise secure the right to use certain third party assets (such as railcars, trucks, barges, pipeline capacity, storage capacity and other similar assets) with the expectation that the revenues we generate through the use of such assets will be greater than the fixed costs we incur pursuant to the applicable leases or other arrangements. However, when such assets are not utilized or are under-utilized, our profitability is negatively affected because the revenues we earn are either reduced (in the event of under-utilization) or non-existent, but we remain obligated to continue paying any applicable fixed charges, in addition to incurring any other costs attributable to the non-utilization of such assets. For example, in connection with our operations, we lease all of our railcars which requires us to pay the applicable lease rate without regard to utilization. In addition, during the period of time that we are not utilizing such assets, we will incur incremental costs associated with the cost of storing such assets, and we will continue to incur costs for maintenance and upkeep. Our failure to utilize a significant portion of our leased assets and other similar assets could have a significant negative impact on our profitability and cash flows.

In addition, certain of our field and pipeline operating costs and expenses are fixed and do not vary with the volumes we gather and transport. These costs and expenses may not decrease ratably or at all should we experience a reduction in our volumes transported by truck, marine vessel, rail or our pipelines. As a result, we may experience declines in our profitability and margin if our volumes decrease.

We cannot cause our joint ventures and certain of our unrestricted subsidiaries to take or not to take certain actions unless some or all of the joint venture or third party participants agree.

Due to the nature of joint ventures, each participant (including us) in our material joint ventures has made substantial investments (including contributions and other commitments) in that joint venture and, accordingly, has required that the relevant charter documents contain certain features designed to provide each participant with the opportunity to participate in the management of the joint venture and to protect its investment in that joint venture, as well as any other assets which may be substantially dependent on or otherwise affected by the activities of that joint venture. These participation and protective features often include a governance structure that consists of a management committee or other governing body composed of members or member-designees, only some of which are appointed by us. In addition, certain of our joint ventures are operated by our “partners” or have “stand-alone” credit agreements that limit their freedom to take certain actions. Thus, without the concurrence of the other joint venture participants and/or the lenders of our joint venture participants, we cannot cause our joint ventures to take or not to take certain actions, even though those actions may be in the best interest of the joint ventures or us.

The insolvency of an operator of our joint ventures, the failure of an operator of our joint ventures to adequately perform operations or an operator’s breach of applicable agreements could reduce our earnings and cash flow and result in our liability to governmental authorities for compliance with environmental, safety and other regulatory requirements and to the operator’s suppliers and vendors. As a result, the success and timing of development activities of our joint ventures operated by others and the economic results derived therefrom depends upon a number of factors outside our control, including the operator’s timing and amount of capital expenditures, expertise and financial resources, and the inclusion of other participants .

Table o f Contents

In addition, joint venture participants may have obligations that are important to the success of the joint venture, such as the obligation to pay their share of capital and other costs of the joint venture. The performance and ability of third parties to satisfy their obligations under joint venture arrangements is outside our control. If these third parties do not satisfy their obligations under these arrangements, our business may be adversely affected.

We may not be able to renew our marine transportation term charters and contracts when they expire at favorable rates, for extended periods, or at all, which may increase our exposure to the spot market and lead to lower revenues and increased expenses.

During the year ended December 31, 2025, our marine transportation segmen t receiv ed approximately 77% of its revenue from term charters and other fixed contracts, which help to insulate us from revenue fluctuations caused by weather, navigational delays and short-term market declines. We earned approximately 23% of our marine transp ortation revenues from spot contracts, where competition is high and rates are typically volatile and subject to short-term market fluctuations, and where we could bear the risk of vessel downtime due to weather and navigational delays. If we deploy a greater percentage of our vessels in the spot market, we may experience a lower overall utilization of our fleet through waiting time or ballast voyages, leading to a decline in our operating revenue and gross profit. There can be no assurance that we will be able to enter into future time charters or other fixed contracts on terms favorable to us. For further discussion of our marine transportation contracts, see “Marine Transportation - Customers”.

A decrease in the cost of importing refined petroleum products could cause demand for U.S. flag product carrier and barge capacity and charter rates to decline, which would decrease our revenues and cash flows from operations.

The demand for U.S. flag product carriers and barges is influenced by the cost of importing refined petroleum products. Historically, charter rates for vessels qualified to participate in the U.S. coastwise trade under the Jones Act have been higher than charter rates for foreign flag vessels. This is due to the higher construction and operating costs of U.S. flag vessels under the Jones Act requirements that such vessels be built in the U.S. and manned by U.S. crews. This has made it less expensive for certain areas of the U.S. that are underserved by pipelines or which lack local refining capacity, such as in the Northeast, to import refined petroleum products carried aboard foreign flag vessels than to obtain them from U.S. refineries. If the cost of importing refined petroleum products decreases to the extent that it becomes less expensive to import refined petroleum products to other regions of the East Coast and the West Coast than producing such products in the U.S. and transporting them on U.S. flag vessels, demand for our vessels and the charter rates for them could decrease.

We face periodic dry-docking costs for our vessels, which can be substantial.

Vessels must be dry-docked periodically for regulatory compliance and for maintenance and repair. Our dry-docking requirements are subject to associated risks, including delay, cost overruns, lack of necessary equipment, unforeseen engineering problems, employee strikes or other work stoppages, unanticipated cost increases, inability to obtain necessary certifications and approvals and shortages of materials or skilled labor. A significant delay in dry-dockings could have an adverse effect on our marine transportation contract commitments. The cost of repairs and renewals required at each dry-dock are difficult to predict with certainty and can be substantial.

The U.S. inland waterway infrastructure is aging and may result in increased costs and disruptions to our marine transportation segment.

Maintenance of the U.S. inland waterway system is vital to our marine transportation operations. The complete inland waterway system is composed of 25,000 miles of commercially navigable waterways and channels, supported by approximately 240 lock chambers and approximately 1,000 coastal, Great Lakes, and inland harbors. The U.S. inland waterway infrastructure is aging as approximately 80% of the lock and dam infrastructure exceeds its 50-year design life, which may cause more frequently scheduled and unscheduled maintenance outages and result in our marine transportation segment experiencing delays and incurring additional operating expenses. Failure of the federal government to adequately fund infrastructure maintenance and improvements in the future would have a negative impact on our ability to deliver products for our marine transportation customers on a timely basis. For example, when the Mississippi river floods significantly or if water levels are significantly reduced by severe drought conditions, barges may be unable to traverse the river system and we may be prevented from timely completing our voyages.

Failure to obtain or renew surety bonds on acceptable terms could affect our ability to satisfy long-term obligations.

We are required to obtain surety bonds or post other financial security to secure performance or payment of certain long-term obligations. The amount of security required to be obtained can change as the result of new laws, as well as changes to the factors used to calculate the bonding or security amounts. We may have difficulty procuring or maintaining our surety bonds. Our bond issuers may demand higher fees or additional collateral, including letters of credit or other terms less favorable to us upon those renewals.

Risks Related to Liquidity and Financing

Our indebtedness could adversely restrict our ability to operate, affect our financial condition, prevent us from complying with requirements under our debt instruments and prevent us from paying cash distributions to our unitholders.

We have outstanding debt and the potential to incur additional indebtedness. As of December 31, 2025, we had approximately $6.4 million outstanding under our senior secured credit facility and approximately $3.1 billion aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes outstanding. We must comply with various affirmative and negative covenants contained in our credit agreement and the indentures or purchase agreement governing our notes, some of which may restrict the way in which we would like to conduct our business. Among other things, these covenants limit or will limit our ability to incur additional indebtedness or liens, make payments in respect of or redeem or acquire any debt or equity issued by us, sell assets, make loans or investments, make guarantees, enter into any hedging agreement for speculative purposes, acquire or be acquired by other companies, and amend some of our contracts.

The restrictions under our indebtedness may prevent us from engaging in certain transactions which might otherwise be considered beneficial to us and could have other important consequences to unitholders. For example, they could increase our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions, limit our ability to; make distributions, to fund future working capital, capital expenditures and other general partnership requirements, to engage in future acquisitions, construction or development activities, to access capital markets (debt and equity), or to otherwise fully realize the value of our assets and opportunities, limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our businesses and the industries in which we operate, and place us at a competitive disadvantage as compared to our competitors that have less debt. Moreover, the need to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flows from operations to payments on our indebtedness may similarly prevent us from engaging in certain transactions which might otherwise be considered beneficial to us and could have other important consequences to unitholders.

We may incur additional indebtedness (public or private) in the future under our existing credit agreement, by issuing debt instruments, under new credit agreements, under joint venture credit agreements, under new credit agreements of our unrestricted subsidiaries, under finance leases or synthetic leases, on a project-finance or other basis or a combination of any of these. If we incur additional indebtedness in the future, it likely would be under our existing or a replacement credit agreement or under arrangements that may have terms and conditions at least as or even more restrictive as those contained in our existing credit agreement and the indentures or purchase agreement governing our existing notes. Failure to comply with the terms and conditions of any existing or future indebtedness would constitute an event of default. If an event of default occurs, the lenders or noteholders will have the right to accelerate the maturity of such indebtedness and foreclose upon the collateral, if any, securing that indebtedness. In addition, if there is a change of control as described in our senior secured credit facility, that would be an event of default, unless our creditors agreed otherwise, and, under our senior secured credit facility, any such event could limit our ability to fulfill our obligations under our debt instruments and to make cash distributions to unitholders which could adversely affect the market price of our securities.

In addition, from time to time, some of our joint ventures or unrestricted subsidiaries may have substantial indebtedness, which will include affirmative and negative covenants and other provisions that limit their ability to conduct certain operations, events of default, prepayment and other customary terms.

We may not be able to access adequate capital (debt and/or equity) on economically viable terms or any terms.

The capital markets (debt and equity) have previously been disrupted and volatile as a result of adverse conditions, including inflationary pressures, bubble-effects and volatility in commodity prices. These circumstances and events, which can last for extended periods of time, have led to reduced capital availability, tighter lending standards and higher interest rates on loans for companies in the energy industry, especially non-investment grade companies. Although we cannot predict the future condition of the capital markets, future turmoil in capital markets and the related higher cost of capital could have a material adverse effect on our business, liquidity, financial condition and cash flows, particularly if our ability to borrow money from lenders or access the capital markets to finance our operations were to be limited.

If we are unable to access the amounts and types of capital we seek at a cost and/or on terms that have been available to us historically, we could be materially and adversely affected. Such an inability to access capital, including renewing and extending the terms at the relevant time on our existing debt, including the debt at our unrestricted subsidiaries, could limit or prohibit our ability to execute significant portions of our business plan, such as executing our growth strategy and/or optimizing our capital structure.

Our actual construction, development and acquisition costs could exceed our forecast, and our cash flow from construction and development projects may not be immediate.

Our forecast contemplates expenditures for the development, construction or other acquisition of onshore and offshore infrastructure, including some construction and development projects with technological challenges. We (or our joint ventures)

Table o f Contents

may not be able to complete our projects at the costs or within the timeframes currently estimated. If we (or our joint ventures) experience material cost overruns, we will have to finance these overruns using one or more of the following methods: using cash from operations; delaying other planned projects; incurring additional borrowings from our senior secured credit facility; or issuing additional debt or equity.

Any or all of these methods may not be available when needed, may be prohibited or restricted by our or our joint venture’s debt agreements or other contractual arrangements or may adversely affect our future results of operations.

In addition, some construction projects require substantial investments over a long period of time before they begin generating any meaningful cash flow.

The IRA could accelerate the transition to a low carbon economy away from oil and natural gas.

On August 16, 2022, President Biden signed into law the IRA which, among other provisions, imposes a fee on methane emissions from sources required to report their greenhouse gas emissions to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, including those sources in the onshore petroleum and natural gas production and gathering and boosting source categories. Beginning in 2024, the IRA’s methane emissions charge imposes a fee on excess methane emissions from certain oil and gas facilities, starting at $900 per metric ton of leaked methane in 2024 and rising to $1,200 in 2025, and $1,500 for 2026 and thereafter. The imposition of this fee and other provisions contained within the IRA could accelerate the transition away from oil and natural gas, which could decrease demand for, and in turn the prices of, the oil and natural gas that we store, transport and sell and adversely impact our business.

Fluctuations in interest rates could adversely affect our business.

We have exposure to movements in interest rates. The interest rates on our senior secured credit facility ($6.4 million outstanding at December 31, 2025) and the debt at certain of our unrestricted subsidiaries is variable. Our results of operations and our cash flows, as well as our access to future capital and our ability to fund our growth strategy, could be adversely affected by significant increases in interest rates. Obligations under our senior secured credit facility bear interest at a rate based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) or an alternate base rate at our option, plus the applicable margin in accordance with our credit agreement. We have not historically hedged our interest rates. Adverse effects to interest rates could have a negative effect on our financial condition, operating results and cash flow.

An increase in interest rates may also cause a corresponding decline in demand for equity investments, in general, and in particular, for yield-based equity investments such as our common units. Any such reduction in demand for our common units resulting from other more attractive investment opportunities may cause the trading price of our common units to decline.

Inflationary pressures and associated changes in monetary policy have historically increased and may further increase our operating costs, which in turn have caused and may continue to cause our capital expenditures and operating costs to rise.

Inflationary pressures have increased in recent years and could occur in the future. These inflationary pressures have historically increased and may further increase our operating costs, which in turn have caused and may continue to cause our capital expenditures and operating costs to rise. Sustained levels of high inflation have historically caused the Federal Reserve and other central banks to increase interest rates, which raises the cost of capital, including the cost of borrowings under our senior secured credit facility, and depresses economic growth, which could adversely affect the financial and operating results of our business.

Non-traditional investment criteria used by many investors may diminish investor interest in us and reduce the value of our common units and our access to capital.

Recently, investor advocacy groups, certain institutional investors and many investment funds have increased their focus on non-traditional investment criteria, such as environmental, social and governance (ESG) and sustainability goals. In particular, numerous investment firms, banks, insurance companies and other financial institutions have made pledges to reduce their carbon emissions, which in many cases may involve reducing or eliminating their investments in organizations involved in the production, transport and use of fossil fuels. In connection with this trend, investor demand for and valuation of our common units may decline, and our access to the debt and equity capital necessary to finance our growth projects and to refinance our existing debt obligations when due may be reduced, either of which could adversely impact our businesses.

Risks Related to Legal and Regulatory Compliance

Our operations are subject to federal and state rate regulation and federal, state and local environmental protection and safety laws and regulations.

Our operations are subject to stringent federal, state and local environmental protection and safety laws and regulations. See “Regulation-Environmental Regulations.” Failure to comply with these laws and regulations may result in the

Table o f Contents

assessment of administrative, civil and criminal penalties, including the assessment of monetary penalties, the imposition of investigatory and remedial obligations, the suspension or revocation of necessary permits, licenses and authorizations, the requirement that additional pollution controls be installed and the issuance of orders enjoining future operations or imposing additional compliance requirements. While we believe that we are in substantial compliance with current environmental laws and regulations and that continued compliance with existing requirements would not materially affect us, there is no assurance that this trend will continue in the future. Revised or new additional regulations that result in increased compliance costs or additional operating restrictions, particularly if those costs are not fully recoverable from our customers, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position, results of operations and cash flows. Moreover, our operations, including the transportation and storage of crude oil, natural gas and other commodities, involves a risk that crude oil, natural gas and related hydrocarbons or other substances may be released into the environment, which may result in substantial expenditures for a response action, significant government penalties, liability to government agencies for natural resources damages, liability to private parties for personal injury or property damages and significant business interruption. These costs and liabilities could rise under increasingly strict environmental and safety laws, including regulations and enforcement policies, or claims for damages to property or persons resulting from our operations. If we are unable to recover such resulting costs through increased rates or insurance reimbursements, our cash flows and distributions to our unitholders could be materially affected.

Climate change legislation and regulatory initiatives may decrease demand for the products we store, transport and sell and increase our operating costs.

In recent years, federal, state, and local governments have taken steps to reduce emissions of GHGs. For example, the IRA and the Investment in Infrastructure and Jobs Act include billions of dollars in incentives for the development of renewable energy, clean hydrogen, clean fuels, electric vehicles, investments in advanced biofuels and supporting infrastructure and carbon capture and sequestration. On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act was signed into law, which revises and expands certain renewable energy tax credits that were previously available under the IRA. Also, the EPA has proposed ambitious rules to reduce harmful air pollutant emissions, including GHGs, from light-, medium-, and heavy-duty vehicles beginning in model year 2027. These incentives and regulations could accelerate the transition of the economy away from the use of fossil fuels towards lower or zero-carbon emissions alternatives, which could decrease demand for, and in turn the prices of, the oil and natural gas that we store, transport and sell and adversely impact our business.

Efforts to regulate or restrict emissions of GHGs in areas that we conduct business could adversely affect the demand for the products that we transport, store and distribute and, depending on the particular program adopted, could increase our costs to operate and maintain our facilities by requiring that we, among other things, measure and report our emissions, install new emission controls on our facilities, acquire allowances to authorize our GHG emissions, pay any fees or taxes related to our GHG emissions and administer and manage a GHG emissions program. We may be unable to include some or all of such increased costs in the rates charged by our pipelines or other facilities, and any such recovery may depend on events beyond our control, including the outcome of future rate proceedings before the FERC or state regulatory agencies and the provisions of any final legislation or implementing regulations. Any GHG emissions legislation or regulatory programs applicable to power plants or refineries could also increase the cost of consuming, and thereby adversely affect demand for the crude oil and natural gas that we produce. Consequently, legislation and regulatory programs to reduce GHG emissions could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. It is not possible at this time to predict with any accuracy the structure or outcome of any future legislative or regulatory efforts to address such emissions or the eventual costs to us of compliance.

Moreover, climate change may be associated with extreme weather conditions such as more intense hurricanes, thunderstorms, tornadoes and snow or ice storms, as well as rising sea levels. Another possible consequence of climate change is increased volatility in seasonal temperatures. Some studies indicate that climate change could cause some areas to experience temperatures substantially hotter or colder than their historical averages. Extreme weather conditions can interfere with our production and increase our costs and damage resulting from extreme weather may not be fully insured. However, at this time, we are unable to determine the extent to which climate change may lead to increased storm or weather hazards affecting our operations.

Regulation of the rates, terms and conditions of services and a changing regulatory environment could affect our financial position, results of operations or cash flow.

FERC regulates certain of our energy infrastructure assets engaged in interstate operations. Our intrastate pipeline operations are regulated by state agencies. Our railcar operations are subject to the regulatory jurisdiction of the Federal Railroad Administration of the DOT, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, as well as other federal and state regulatory agencies. This regulation extends to such matters as: rate structures; rates of return on equity; recovery of costs; the services that our regulated assets are permitted to perform; the acquisition, construction and disposition of assets; and to an extent, the level of competition in that regulated industry.

Table o f Contents

In addition, some of our pipelines and other infrastructure are subject to laws providing for open and/or non-discriminatory access.

Given the extent of this regulation, the evolving nature of federal and state regulation and the possibility for additional changes, the current regulatory regime may change and affect our financial position, results of operations or cash flow.

Our business would be adversely affected if we failed to comply with the Jones Act foreign ownership provisions.

We are subject to the Jones Act and other federal laws that restrict maritime cargo transportation between points in the U.S. only to vessels operating under the U.S. flag, built in the U.S., at least 75% owned and operated by U.S. citizens (or owned and operated by other entities meeting U.S. citizenship requirements to own vessels operating in the U.S. coastwise trade and, in the case of limited partnerships, where the general partner meets U.S. citizenship requirements) and manned by U.S. crews. To ensure compliance with the Jones Act, we must be U.S. citizens qualified to document vessels for coastwise trade. We could cease being a U.S. citizen if certain events were to occur, including if non-U.S. citizens were to own 25% or more of our equity interest or were otherwise deemed to control us or our general partner. We are responsible for monitoring ownership to ensure compliance with the Jones Act. The consequences of our failure to comply with the Jones Act provisions on coastwise trade, including failing to qualify as a U.S. citizen, would have an adverse effect on us as we may be prohibited from operating our vessels in the U.S. coastwise trade or, under certain circumstances, permanently lose U.S. coastwise trading rights or be subject to fines or forfeiture of our vessels.

Our business would be adversely affected if the Jones Act provisions on coastwise trade or international trade agreements were modified or repealed or as a result of modifications to existing legislation or regulations governing the crude oil and natural gas industry.

If the restrictions contained in the Jones Act were repealed or altered or certain international trade agreements were changed, the maritime transportation of cargo between U.S. ports could be opened to foreign flag or foreign-built vessels. The Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, or the Secretary, is vested with the authority and discretion to waive the coastwise laws if the Secretary deems that such action is necessary in the interest of national defense. Any waiver of the coastwise laws, whether in response to natural disasters or otherwise, could result in increased competition from foreign product carrier and barge operators, which could reduce our revenues and cash available for distribution.

Foreign-flag vessels generally have lower construction costs and generally operate at significantly lower costs than we do in U.S. markets, which would likely result in reduced charter rates. We believe that continued efforts will be made to modify or repeal the Jones Act. If these efforts are successful, foreign-flag vessels could be permitted to trade in the U.S. coastwise trade and significantly increase competition with our fleet, which could have an adverse effect on our business.

Compliance with and changes in cybersecurity requirements have a cost impact on our business, and failure to comply with such laws and regulations could have an impact on our assets, costs, revenue generation and growth opportunities.

The Department of Homeland Security’s Transportation Security Administration (“TSA”) announced in October 2025 the revision and re-issuance of one of its security directives originally issued in the second quarter of 2021. Together, these directives, including the newly amended directive, require critical pipeline owners to comply with mandatory reporting measures and provide vulnerability assessments, and changes in the requirements may require us to expend significant additional resources to modify or enhance our protective measures, or our procedures for assessing, investigating, and remediating any critical infrastructure security vulnerabilities and for responding to cyberattacks. Furthermore, the U.S. Coast Guard’s Cybersecurity in the Marine Transportation System Rule introduces additional training and reporting obligations and requires taking various measures to maintain cybersecurity within the marine transportation system. Any failure to remain in compliance with these government regulations may result in enforcement actions which may have a material adverse effect on our business and operations.

We are subject to regulatory and economic risks associated with doing business outside of the United States.

Doing business with entities located outside of the United States has risks that are inherent in conducting business internationally, including compliance with both United States and foreign laws and regulations that apply to our international operations. These laws and regulations could include tax laws, anti-competition regulations, import and export requirements, data privacy requirements, labor relations laws, environmental, health and safety laws, and anti-bribery laws such as the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and similar anti-bribery laws in other jurisdictions. Given the high level of complexity of these laws, there is a risk that some provisions may be violated inadvertently or through fraudulent or negligent behavior of individual employees, our failure to comply with certain formal documentation requirements or otherwise. In addition, these laws are subject to changes, which may require additional resources or make it more difficult for us to comply with these laws. Violations of the laws and regulations governing our international operations could result in fines against us, our officers or our employees. In addition to the foregoing, engaging in international business involves a number of other risks, including cost and availability of international shipping channels, longer payment cycles in certain countries, and the potential of political or

economic instability. These potential risks and difficulties, individually or in the aggregate, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

Risks Related to Our Partnership Structure

Individual members of the Davison family can exert significant influence over us and may have conflicts of interest with us and may be permitted to favor their interests to the detriment of our other unitholders.

James E. Davison and James E. Davison, Jr., each of whom is a director of our general partner, each own a significant portion of our common units, including our Class B Common Units, the holders of which elect our directors. Other members of the Davison family also own a significant portion of our common units. Collectively, members of the Davison family and their affiliates own approximately 9% of our Class A Common Units and 77% of our Class B Common Units and are able to exert significant influence over us, including the ability to elect at least a majority of the members of our board of directors and the ability to control most matters requiring board approval, such as material business strategies, mergers, business combinations, acquisitions or dispositions of assets, issuances of additional partnership securities, incurrences of debt or other financings and payments of distributions. In addition, the existence of a controlling group (if one were to form) may have the effect of making it difficult for, or may discourage or delay, a third party from seeking to acquire us, which may adversely affect the market price of our common units. Further, conflicts of interest may arise between us and other entities for which members of the Davison family serve as officers or directors. In resolving any conflicts that may arise, such members of the Davison family may favor the interests of another entity over our interests.

Members of the Davison family own, control and have interests in diverse companies, some of which may (or could in the future) compete directly or indirectly with us. As a result, the interests of the members of the Davison family may not always be consistent with our interests or the interests of our other unitholders. Members of the Davison family could also pursue acquisitions or business opportunities that may be complementary to our business. Our organizational documents allow the holders of our units (including affiliates, like the Davisons’) to take advantage of such corporate opportunities without first presenting such opportunities to us. As a result, corporate opportunities that may benefit us may not be available to us in a timely manner, or at all. To the extent that conflicts of interest may arise among us and any member of the Davison family, those conflicts may be resolved in a manner adverse to us or you. Other potential conflicts may involve, among others, the following situations: our general partner is allowed to take into account the interest of parties other than us, such as one or more of its affiliates, in resolving conflicts of interest; our general partner may limit its liability and reduce its fiduciary duties, while also restricting the remedies available to our unitholders for actions that, without such limitations, might constitute breaches of fiduciary duty; our general partner determines the amount and timing of asset purchases and sales, capital expenditures, borrowings, issuance of additional partnership securities, reimbursements and enforcement of obligations to the general partner and its affiliates, retention of counsel, accountants and service providers and cash reserves, each of which can also affect the amount of cash that is distributed to our unitholders; and our general partner determines which costs incurred by it and its affiliates are reimbursable by us and the reimbursement of these costs and of any services provided by our general partner could adversely affect our ability to pay cash distributions to our unitholders.

Our Class B Common Units may be transferred to a third party without unitholder consent, which could affect our strategic direction.

Unlike the holders of common stock in a corporation, our unitholders have only limited voting rights on matters affecting our business and, therefore, limited ability to influence management’s decisions regarding our business. Only holders of our Class B Common Units have the right to elect our board of directors. Holders of our Class B Common Units may transfer such units to a third party without the consent of the unitholders. The new holders of our Class B Common Units may then be in a position to replace our board of directors and officers of our general partner with its own choices and to control the strategic decisions made by our board of directors and officers.

Our general partner has a limited call right that may require common unitholders to sell their units at an undesirable time or price.

If at any time our general partner, the partnership, and our subsidiaries collectively own 80% or more of the Class A Common Units or Class B Common Units, our general partner will have the right, but not the obligation, which it may assign to us, to acquire all, but not less than all, of the remaining common units of such class held by persons other than our general partner, the partnership or our subsidiaries at a price not less than their then-current market price. As a result, common unitholders may be required to sell their common units at an undesirable time or price. Such unitholders may also incur a tax liability upon such sale of their units.

Table o f Contents

The interruption of distributions to us from our subsidiaries and joint ventures could affect our ability to make payments on indebtedness or cash distributions to our unitholders.

We are a holding company. As such, our primary assets are the equity interests in our subsidiaries and joint ventures. Consequently, our ability to fund our commitments (including payments on our indebtedness) and to make cash distributions depends upon the earnings and cash flow of our subsidiaries and joint ventures and the distribution of that cash to us. While some of our joint ventures and our unrestricted subsidiaries may generally be required to make cash distributions to us on a quarterly or other periodic basis, distributions from our joint ventures and our unrestricted subsidiaries are subject to the discretion of their respective management committee or similar governing body in one or more respects even if such distributions are generally required, such as with respect to the establishment of cash reserves. Further, the charter documents of certain of our joint ventures and unrestricted subsidiaries may vest in the management committees or similar governing body’s certain discretion or contain certain limitations regarding cash distributions even if such distributions are generally required. Accordingly, our joint ventures and our unrestricted subsidiaries may not continue to make distributions to us at current levels or at all.

We do not have the same flexibility as other types of organizations to accumulate cash and equity to protect against illiquidity in the future.

Unlike a corporation, our partnership agreement requires us to make quarterly distributions to our unitholders of all available cash reduced by any amounts reserved for commitments and contingencies, including capital and operating costs and debt service requirements. The value of our units and other limited partner interests may decrease in direct correlation with decreases in the amount we distribute per unit. Accordingly, if we experience a liquidity problem in the future, we may not be able to issue more equity to recapitalize.

Unitholders may have liability to repay distributions that were wrongfully distributed to them.

Under certain circumstances, unitholders may have to repay amounts wrongfully returned or distributed to them. Under Section 17-607 of the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act, we may not make a distribution to you if the distribution would cause our liabilities to exceed the fair value of our assets. Delaware law provides that for a period of three years from the date of an impermissible distribution, limited partners who received the distribution and who knew at the time of the distribution that it violated Delaware law will be liable to the limited partnership for the distribution amount. Substituted limited partners are liable both for the obligations of the assignor to make contributions to the partnership that were known to the substituted limited partner at the time it became a limited partner and for those obligations that were unknown if the liabilities could have been determined from the partnership agreement. Neither liabilities to partners on account of their partnership interest nor liabilities that are non-recourse to the partnership are counted for purposes of determining whether a distribution is permitted.

Unitholder liability may not be limited if a court finds that unitholder action constitutes control of our business.

A general partner of a partnership generally has unlimited liability for the obligations of the partnership, except for those contractual obligations of the partnership that are expressly made without recourse to the general partner. Our partnership is organized under Delaware law, and we conduct business in other states. The limitations on the liability of holders of limited partner interests for the obligations of a limited partnership have not been clearly established in some states in which we do business or may do business in from time to time in the future. Unitholders could be liable for any and all of our obligations as if unitholders were a general partner if a court or government agency were to determine that: we were conducting business in a state but had not complied with that particular state’s partnership statute; or unitholders right to act with other unitholders to remove or replace our general partner, to approve some amendments to our partnership agreement or to take other actions under our partnership agreement constitutes “control” of our business.

Tax Risks to Our Unitholders

Our tax treatment depends on our status as a partnership for federal income tax purposes, as well as us not being subject to a material amount of entity-level taxation by individual states. If the IRS were to treat us as a corporation (for U.S. federal income tax purposes) or if we were to become subject to a material amount of entity-level taxation for state tax purposes, then our cash available for distribution to our unitholders would be substantially reduced.

The anticipated after-tax economic benefit of an investment in our units depends largely on our being treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes. Section 7704 of the Internal Revenue Code provides that publicly traded partnerships will, as a general rule, be taxed as corporations. However, an exception exists with respect to publicly traded partnerships, 90% or more of the gross income of which for each taxable year consists of “qualifying income.”

If less than 90% of our gross income for any taxable year is “qualifying income” from transportation, processing or marketing of natural resources (including minerals, crude oil, natural gas or products thereof), interest or dividends income, we

Table o f Contents

will be taxable as a corporation under Section 7704 of the Internal Revenue Code for federal income tax purposes for that taxable year and all subsequent years. We have not requested a ruling from the IRS with respect to our treatment as a partnership for federal income tax purposes.

The decision of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit in Tidewater Inc. v. U.S., 565 F.3d 299 (5th Cir. April 13, 2009) held that the marine time charter being analyzed in that case was a “lease” that generated rental income rather than income from transportation services for purposes of a foreign sales corporation provision of the Internal Revenue Code. Even though (i) the Tidewater case did not involve a publicly traded partnership and it was not decided under Section 7704 of the Internal Revenue Code relating to “qualifying income,” (ii) some experienced practitioners believe the decision was not well reasoned, (iii) the IRS stated in an Action on Decision (AOD 2010-01) that it disagrees with and will not acquiesce to the Fifth Circuit’s marine time charter analysis contained in the Tidewater case and (iv) the IRS has issued several favorable private letter rulings (which can be relied upon and cited as precedent by only the taxpayers that obtained them) relating to time charters since the Tidewater decision was issued, the Tidewater decision creates some uncertainty regarding the status of income from certain of our marine time charters as “qualifying income” under Section 7704 of the Internal Revenue Code. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Tidewater case is relevant authority because it is the only case of which we and our outside tax counsel are aware directly analyzing whether a particular time charter would constitute a lease or service agreement for certain U.S. federal tax purposes. Due to the uncertainty created by the Tidewater decision, our outside tax counsel at the time was required to change the standard in its opinion relating to our status as a partnership for federal income tax purposes to “should” from “will.”

Although we do not believe based upon our current operations that we are treated as a corporation for federal income tax purposes, a change in our business (or a change in current law) could cause us to be treated as a corporation for federal income tax purposes or otherwise subject us to taxation as an entity. If we were treated as a corporation for federal income tax purposes, we would pay federal income tax on our taxable income at the corporate tax rate and would pay state income tax at varying rates. Distributions to our unitholders would generally be taxable to them again as corporate distributions and no income, gains, losses, or deductions would flow through to them. Because a tax would be imposed upon us as a corporation, our cash available for distribution to our unitholders would be substantially reduced. Therefore, treatment of us as a corporation would result in a material reduction in the anticipated cash flow and after-tax return to our unitholders, likely causing a substantial reduction in the value of our units.

At the state level, because of widespread state budget deficits and other reasons, several states are evaluating ways to subject partnerships to entity-level taxation through the imposition of state income, franchise and other forms of taxation. For example, we are required to pay Texas franchise tax on our gross income apportioned to Texas. Imposition of any such taxes on us by any other state would reduce our cash available for distribution to our unitholders.

The tax treatment of publicly traded partnerships or an investment in our units could be subject to potential legislative, judicial or administrative changes and differing interpretations, possibly on a retroactive basis.

The present U.S. federal income tax treatment of publicly traded partnerships, including us, or an investment in our units may be modified by administrative, legislative or judicial interpretation at any time. From time to time, members of Congress propose and consider substantive changes to the existing U.S. federal income tax laws that affect publicly traded partnerships, including the elimination of partnership tax treatment for certain publicly traded partnerships.

Any modifications to the U.S. federal income tax laws may be applied retroactively and could make it more difficult or impossible for us to meet the exception for certain publicly traded partnerships to be treated as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes. We are unable to predict whether any of these changes, or other proposals, will ultimately be enacted. Any such changes could cause a material reduction in our anticipated cash flows and could cause us to be treated as an association taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes subjecting us to the entity-level tax and adversely affecting the value of our units.

A successful IRS contest of the federal income tax positions we take may adversely affect the market for our units, and the costs of any IRS contest would reduce our cash available for distribution to our unitholders and our general partner.

The IRS may adopt positions that differ from the positions we take. It may be necessary to resort to administrative or court proceedings to sustain some or all of the positions we take. A court may not agree with some or all of the positions we take. Any contest with the IRS may materially and adversely impact the market for our units and the price at which they trade. In addition, our costs of any contest with the IRS will be borne indirectly by our unitholders and our general partner because these costs will reduce our cash available for distribution.

Table o f Contents

If the IRS makes adjustments to our income tax returns, it (and some states) may assess and collect any taxes (including any applicable penalties and interest) resulting from such audit adjustments directly from us. To the extent possible under the rules, our general partner may elect to either cause us to pay the taxes (including any applicable penalties and interest) directly to the IRS or, if we are eligible, issue a revised information statement to each unitholder and former unitholder with respect to an audited and adjusted return. Although our general partner may elect to have our unitholders and former unitholders take such audit adjustments into account and pay any resulting taxes (including applicable penalties or interest) in accordance with their interests in us during the tax year under audit, there can be no assurance that such election will be practical, permissible or effective in all circumstances. If we make payments of taxes and any penalties and interest directly to the IRS in the year in which the audit is completed, our cash available for distribution to our unitholders might be substantially reduced, in which case our current unitholders may bear some or all of the tax liability resulting from such audit adjustments, even if such unitholders did not own units in us during the tax year under audit.

Our unitholders will be required to pay taxes on income (as well as deemed distributions, if any) from us even if they do not receive any cash distributions from us.

Our unitholders will be required to pay any federal income taxes and, in some cases, state and local income taxes on their share of our taxable income (as well as deemed distributions and gains on the sale of assets or businesses, if any) even if unitholders receive no cash distributions from us. Our unitholders may not receive cash distributions from us equal to their share of our taxable income (or deemed distributions and gains on the sale of assets or businesses, if any) or even the tax liability that results from that income (or deemed distribution).

Tax gain or loss on the disposition of our units could be more or less than expected.

If our unitholders sell their units, they will recognize a gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized and their tax basis in those units. Because distributions in excess of their allocable share of our net taxable income decrease their tax basis in their units, the amount, if any, of such prior excess distributions with respect to the units a unitholder sells will, in effect, become taxable income to the unitholder if it sells such units at a price greater than its tax basis in those units, even if the price received is less than its original cost. A substantial portion of the amount realized, whether or not representing gain, may be ordinary income due to potential recapture items, including depreciation recapture. In addition, because the amount realized includes a unitholder’s share of our non-recourse liabilities, if our unitholders sell their units, they may incur a tax liability in excess of the amount of cash they receive from the sale.

Unitholders may be subject to limitations on their ability to deduct interest expense by us.

Our ability to deduct interest paid or accrued on indebtedness properly allocable to our trade or business during our taxable year may be limited in certain circumstances. If this limitation were to apply with respect to a taxable year, it could result in an increase in the taxable income allocable to a unitholder for such taxable year without any corresponding increase in the cash available for distribution to such unitholder. However, in certain circumstances, a unitholder may be able to utilize a portion of a business interest deduction subject to this limitation in future taxable years. Unitholders should consult their tax advisors regarding the impact of this business interest deduction limitation on an investment in our units.

Tax-exempt entities and non-U.S. persons face unique tax issues from owning our units that may result in adverse tax consequences to them.

Investment in our units by tax-exempt entities, such as individual retirement accounts (known as IRAs), other retirement plans and non-U.S. persons, raises issues unique to them. For example, virtually all of our income allocated to organizations that are exempt from federal income tax, including IRAs and other retirement plans, will be unrelated business taxable income and will be taxable to them. Subject to the aggregation rules for certain similarly situated businesses or activities, a tax-exempt entity with more than one unrelated trade or business (including by attribution from investment in a partnership such as ours) is required to compute the unrelated business taxable income of such tax-exempt entity separately with respect to each trade or business (including for purposes of determining any net operating loss deduction). As a result, it may not be possible for tax exempt entities to utilize losses from an investment in our partnership to offset unrelated business taxable income from another unrelated trade or business and vice versa. Tax-exempt entities should consult a tax advisor before investing in our units.

Table o f Contents

Non-U.S. unitholders are generally taxed and subject to income tax filing requirements by the United States on income effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business (“effectively connected income”). Income allocated to our unitholders and any gain from the sale of our units will generally be considered to be “effectively connected” with a U.S. trade or business. As a result, distributions to a non-U.S. unitholder will be subject to withholding at the highest applicable effective tax rate and a non-U.S. unitholder who sells or otherwise disposes of a unit will also be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the gain realized from the sale or disposition of that unit. Moreover, the transferee of an interest in a partnership that is engaged in a U.S. trade or business is generally required to withhold 10% of the “amount realized” by the transferor unless the transferor certifies that it is not a foreign person. While the determination of a partner’s “amount realized” generally includes any decrease of a partner’s share of the partnership’s liabilities, Treasury regulations provide that the “amount realized” on a transfer of an interest in a publicly traded partnership, such as our common units, will generally be the amount of gross proceeds paid to the broker effecting the applicable transfer on behalf of the transferor, and thus will be determined without regard to any decrease in that partner’s share of a publicly traded partnership’s liabilities. The Treasury regulations further provide that for any transfer of an interest in a publicly traded partnership that is effected through a broker, the obligation to withhold is imposed on the transfer’s broker. Non-U.S. unitholders should consult a tax advisor before investing in our units.

We will treat each purchaser of our common units as having the same tax benefits without regard to the common units actually purchased. The IRS may challenge this treatment, which could adversely affect the value of our common units.

Because we cannot match transferors and transferees of our common units, we adopt depreciation and amortization conventions that may not conform to all aspects of existing Treasury Regulations and may result in audit adjustments to our unitholders’ tax returns without the benefit of additional deductions. A successful IRS challenge to those conventions could adversely affect the amount of tax benefits available to a common unitholder. It also could affect the timing of these tax benefits or the amount of gain from a sale of common units and could have a negative impact on the value of our common units or result in audit adjustments to the common unitholder’s tax returns.

Our unitholders will likely be subject to state and local taxes in states where they do not live as a result of an investment in our units.

In addition to federal income taxes, our unitholders will likely be subject to other taxes, including foreign, state and local taxes, unincorporated business taxes and estate inheritance or intangible taxes that are imposed by the various jurisdictions in which we do business or own property, even if our unitholders do not live in any of those jurisdictions. Our unitholders will likely be required to file foreign, state, and local income tax returns and pay state and local income taxes in some or all of these jurisdictions. Further, our unitholders may be subject to penalties for failure to comply with those requirements. We currently own assets and do business in several states including Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, Arkansas and Oklahoma. Many of the states we currently do business in impose a personal income tax. It is our unitholders’ responsibility to file all applicable U.S. federal, foreign, state and local tax returns. Unitholders should consult with their own tax advisors regarding the filing of such tax returns, the payment of such taxes, and the deductibility of any taxes paid.

We have subsidiaries that are treated as corporations for federal income tax purposes and subject to corporate-level income taxes.

We conduct a portion of our operations through subsidiaries that are, or are treated as, corporations for federal income tax purposes. We may elect to conduct additional operations in corporate form in the future. These corporate subsidiaries will be subject to corporate-level tax, currently at a maximum 21% federal rate, and will likely pay state (and possibly local) income tax at varying rates, on their taxable income. Any such entity level taxes will reduce the cash available for distribution to us and, in turn, to our unitholders. If the IRS were to successfully assert that these corporate subsidiaries have more tax liability than we anticipate or legislation was enacted that increased the corporate tax rate, our cash available for distribution to our unitholders would be further reduced.

We generally prorate our items of income, gain, loss and deduction between transferors and transferees of our units each month based upon the ownership of our units on the first day of each month, instead of on the basis of the date a particular unit is transferred. The IRS may challenge this treatment, which could change the allocation of items of income, gain, loss and deduction among our unitholders.

We generally prorate our items of income, gain, loss, and deduction between transferors and transferees of our units each month based upon the ownership of our units on the first day of each month (the “Allocation Date”), instead of on the basis of the date a particular unit is transferred. Similarly, we generally allocate (i) certain deductions for depreciation of capital additions, (ii) gain or loss realized on a sale or other disposition of our assets and (iii) in the discretion of the general partner, any other extraordinary item of income, gain, loss or deduction based upon ownership on the Allocation Date. Treasury Regulations allow a similar monthly simplifying convention, but such regulations do not specifically authorize all aspects of our proration method. If the IRS were to challenge our proration method, we may be required to change the allocation of items of income, gain, loss and deduction among our unitholders.

A unitholder whose units are loaned to a “short seller” to cover a short sale of units may be considered as having disposed of those units. If so, such unitholder would no longer be treated for tax purposes as a partner with respect to those units during the period of the loan and may recognize gain or loss from the disposition.

Because a unitholder whose units are loaned to a “short seller” to cover a short sale of units may be considered as having disposed of the loaned units, such unitholder may no longer be treated for tax purposes as a partner with respect to those units during the period of the loan to the short seller and the unitholder may recognize gain or loss from such disposition. Moreover, during the period of the loan to the short seller, any of our income, gain, loss or deduction with respect to those units may not be reportable by the unitholder and any cash distributions received by the unitholder as to those units could be fully taxable as ordinary income. Unitholders desiring to assure their status as partners and avoid the risk of gain recognition from a loan to a short seller are urged to modify any applicable brokerage account agreements to prohibit their brokers from borrowing their units.

The IRS could challenge our treatment of the holders of Class A Convertible Preferred Units as partners for tax purposes, and if such challenge were sustained, certain holders of Class A Convertible Preferred Units could be adversely impacted.

The IRS may disagree with our treatment of the Class A Convertible Preferred Units as equity for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and no assurance can be given that our treatment will be sustained. If the IRS were to successfully characterize the Class A Convertible Preferred Units as indebtedness for tax purposes, certain holders of Class A Convertible Preferred Units may be subject to additional withholding and reporting requirements. Further, if the Class A Convertible Preferred Units were treated as indebtedness for U.S. federal tax purposes, rather than equity, distributions likely would be treated as payments of interest by us to the holders of Class A Convertible Preferred Units. Holders of Class A Convertible Preferred Units are encouraged to consult their tax advisors regarding the tax consequences applicable to the re-characterization of the Class A Convertible Preferred Units as indebtedness for tax purposes.

The amount that a Class A Convertible Preferred unitholder would receive upon liquidation may be less than the liquidation value of the Class A Convertible Preferred Units.

In general, we intend to specially allocate to the Class A Convertible Preferred Units items of our gross income in an amount equal to the distributions paid in respect of the Class A Convertible Preferred Units during the taxable year. If the distributions paid in respect of the Class A Convertible Preferred Units during a taxable year exceed the amount of our gross income allocated to the Class A Convertible Preferred Units for such taxable year (as in the case of prior distributions during the PIK period), the per unit capital account balance of the Class A Convertible Preferred unitholders would be reduced by the amount of such excess. If we were to dissolve or liquidate, after satisfying all of our liabilities, our unitholders (including the Class A Convertible Preferred unitholders) would be entitled to receive liquidating distributions in accordance with their capital account balances. In such event, Class A Convertible Preferred unitholders would be specially allocated items of gross income and gain in a manner designed to cause the capital account balance of a preferred unit to equal the liquidation value of a preferred unit. If we were to have insufficient gross income and gain to cause the capital account balance to equal the liquidation value of a preferred unit, then the amount that a Class A Convertible Preferred unitholder would receive upon liquidation would be less than the liquidation value of the Class A Convertible Preferred Units, even though there may be cash available for distribution to the holders of common units or any other junior securities with respect to their capital accounts.

General Risks

We are exposed to the credit risk of our customers in the ordinary course of our business activities.

When we (or our joint ventures) market our products or services, we (or our joint ventures) must determine the amount, if any, of the line of credit to extend to our customers. Since certain transactions can involve very large payments, the risk of nonpayment and nonperformance by customers, industry participants and others is an important consideration in our business.

For example, in those cases where we provide division order services for crude oil and natural gas purchased at the wellhead, we may be responsible for distribution of proceeds to all of the interest owners. In other cases, we pay all of or a portion of the production proceeds to an operator who distributes these proceeds to the various interest owners. These arrangements expose us to operator credit risk. As a result, we must determine that operators have sufficient financial resources to make such payments and distributions and to indemnify and defend us in case of a protest, action or complaint.

Additionally, we sell NaHS and caustic soda to customers in a variety of industries. Some of these customers are in industries that have been or could be impacted by a decline in demand for their products and services. Even if our credit review and analytical procedures work properly, we have experienced, and we could continue to experience losses in dealings with other parties.

Table o f Contents

Further, many of our customers could be impacted by weakened economic conditions, and volatility in commodity prices, such as crude oil, natural gas, copper, molybdenum, and aluminum in a manner that could influence the need for our products and services and their ability to pay us for those products and services. It is uncertain to what extent commodity prices will experience increased volatility in the future.

A natural disaster, pandemic, epidemic, accident, terrorist attack or other interruption event could result in an economic slowdown, severe personal injury, property damage and/or environmental damage, which could curtail our operations or otherwise adversely affect our assets and cash flow.

Some of our operations involve significant risks of severe personal injury, property damage and environmental damage, any of which could curtail our operations or otherwise expose us to liability and adversely affect our cash flow. Virtually all of our operations are exposed to the elements, including hurricanes, tornadoes, storms, floods, earthquakes and extended periods of below freezing weather. A significant portion of our operations are located along the U.S. Gulf Coast, and our offshore pipelines are located in the Gulf of America, which can be heavily subjected to these types of disasters or storms throughout a given year.

If one or more facilities that are owned by us or that connect to us or our customers is damaged or otherwise affected by severe weather or any other disaster, pandemic, epidemic, accident, catastrophe or event, our operations could be significantly interrupted. Similar interruptions could result from damage to production or other facilities that supply our facilities or other stoppages arising from factors beyond our control. These interruptions might involve significant damage to people, property or the environment, and repairs or recovery might take several months or even longer. Any event that interrupts the fees generated by our energy infrastructure assets, or which causes us to make significant expenditures not covered by insurance, could adversely affect our cash flows available for paying our interest obligations as well as unitholder distributions and, accordingly, adversely impact the market price of our securities. Additionally, the proceeds of any property insurance maintained by us may not be paid in a timely manner or be in an amount sufficient to meet our needs if such an event were to occur, and we may not be able to renew it or obtain other desirable insurance on commercially reasonable terms, if at all.

Any terrorist attack at our facilities, those of our customers and, in some cases, those of other pipelines, could have a material adverse effect on our business.

In addition, a natural disaster, pandemic, epidemic, accident, terrorist attack or other interruption event may cause significant volatility in global financial markets, disruptions to commerce and reduced economic activity. The degree to which a pandemic or any other public health crisis adversely impacts our results will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted. These developments include, but are not limited to, the duration and spread of the outbreak, its severity, the actions to contain the virus or treat its impact, its impact on the economy and market conditions and how quickly and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions can resume. In addition, vaccine mandates or health prerequisites may be announced in jurisdictions in which our businesses operate. Our implementation of any such requirements if and when they are deemed to be enforceable may result in attrition, including attrition of critically skilled labor, and difficulty securing future labor needs. These potential impacts, while uncertain, could adversely affect our operating results. The resulting macroeconomic conditions could adversely affect our cash flows, as well as the market price of our securities.

We cannot predict the impact of the ongoing international military conflicts and any related humanitarian crisis or any other geopolitical tensions on the global economy, energy markets, geopolitical stability and our business.

The ultimate consequences of the war in Ukraine, the Israel and Hamas war and broader geopolitical tensions in South America, the Caribbean, the Middle East and Europe may lead to further sanctions or tariffs, embargoes, supply chain disruptions, regional instability and geopolitical shifts, may have adverse effects on global macroeconomic conditions or our South American export sales, increase volatility in the price of and demand for oil and natural gas, increase exposure to cyberattacks, cause disruptions in global supply chains, increase foreign currency fluctuations, cause constraints or disruption in the capital markets and limit sources of liquidity. We cannot predict the extent of these conflicts’ effect on our business and results of operations, as well as on the global economy and energy industry.

Our business could be negatively impacted by security threats, including cybersecurity threats, and related disruptions.

We rely on our information technology (“IT”) and operational technology (“OT”) infrastructure to process, transmit and store electronic information, including information we use to conduct our operations, and to safely operate our assets. While we believe that we maintain appropriate security policies and protocols, we face cybersecurity and other security threats to our IT and OT infrastructure, which could include threats to our operational and safety systems that operate our pipelines, facilities and other assets. We could face unlawful attempts to gain access to our IT and OT systems, including coordinated attacks from hackers, whether state-sponsored groups, “hacktivists” or private individuals. The age, operating systems or condition of our current IT and OT system infrastructure and software assets and our ability to maintain and upgrade such assets could affect our ability to resist cybersecurity threats.

Table o f Contents

Our IT and OT infrastructure is critical to the efficient operation of our business and essential to our ability to perform day-to-day operations. Breaches in our infrastructure, networks or physical facilities, or other disruptions, could result in damage to our assets, loss of intellectual property, impairment of our ability to conduct our operations, disruption of our customers’ operations, loss or damage to our customer data delivery systems, safety incidents, damage to the environment, compromise of personal data, and could have a material adverse effect on our operations, financial position and results of operations. It is also possible that, despite our use of security monitoring and alerting tools, breaches to our systems could go unnoticed for some period of time.

We and our third-party service providers may therefore be vulnerable to security events that are beyond our control, and we may be the target of cyberattacks, as well as physical attacks, which could result in cybersecurity breaches and significant disruption to our business. Such data breaches and cyberattacks could compromise our operational or other capabilities and cause significant damage to our business and our reputation. Our information systems have experienced threats to the security of our digital infrastructure, but none of these have had a significant impact on our business, operations or reputation. We maintain a 24/7 dedicated security operations center to anticipate, detect and prevent cyberattacks; however, there is no assurance that we will not suffer such losses or breaches in the future. As cyberattacks continue to evolve, we may be required to expend significant additional resources to respond to cyberattacks, to continue to modify or enhance our protective measures or to investigate and remediate any security vulnerabilities in our systems and infrastructure. We may also be subject to regulatory investigations or litigation relating from cybersecurity issues.

Artificial intelligence presents risks and challenges that can impact our business, including by posing security risks to our confidential information, proprietary information and personal data.

Issues in the development and use of artificial intelligence, combined with an uncertain regulatory environment, may result in reputational harm, liability, or other adverse consequences to our business operations. As with many technological innovations, artificial intelligence presents risks and challenges that could impact our business. We may adopt and integrate generative artificial intelligence tools into our systems for specific use cases reviewed by legal and information security. Our vendors may incorporate generative artificial intelligence tools into their offerings without disclosing this use to us, and the providers of these generative artificial intelligence tools may not meet existing or rapidly evolving regulatory or industry standards with respect to privacy and data protection and may inhibit our or our vendors’ ability to maintain an adequate level of service and experience. If we, our vendors, or our third-party partners experience an actual or perceived breach of privacy or security incident because of the use of generative artificial intelligence, we may lose valuable intellectual property and confidential information, and our reputation and the public perception of the effectiveness of our security measures could be harmed. Further, bad actors around the world use increasingly sophisticated methods, including the use of artificial intelligence, to engage in illegal activities involving the theft and misuse of personal information, confidential information, and intellectual property. Any of these outcomes could damage our reputation, result in the loss of valuable property and information, and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our significant unitholders may sell units or other limited partner interests in the trading market, which could reduce the market price of our common units.

As of December 31, 2025, we have a number of significant unitholders. For example, certain members of the Davison family (including their affiliates) and management owned approximately 14.0 million, or approximately 11%, of our common units. From time to time, we also may have other unitholders that have large positions in our common units. In the future, any such parties may acquire additional interest or dispose of some or all of their interest. If they dispose of a substantial portion of their interest in the trading markets, such sales could reduce the market price of common units. In connection with certain transactions, we have put in place resale shelf registration statements, which allow unit holders thereunder to sell their common units at any time (subject to certain restrictions) and to include those securities in any equity offering we consummate for our own account.

We may issue additional common units without common unitholders’ approval, which would dilute their ownership interests.

We may issue an unlimited number of limited partner interests of any type without the approval of our common unitholders. The issuance of additional common units or other equity securities of equal or senior rank will have the following effects: our unitholders’ proportionate ownership interest in us will decrease; the amount of cash available for distribution on each unit may decrease; the relative voting strength of each previously outstanding unit may be diminished; and the market price of our common units may decline.

If we are unable to attract and retain senior management and key technical professionals with elite skills, we may not be able to execute our business strategy effectively and, our operations could be adversely affected.

The success of our business and ability to meet our strategic objectives depends upon our ability to attract, develop, retain and replace key qualified technical and management professionals. The market for these professionals is competitive in

Table o f Contents

the sectors in which we operate, and we rely heavily upon the expertise and leadership of our professionals. If we are unable to attract and retain a sufficient number of elite skilled professionals, our ability to pursue our business objectives may be adversely affected thus reducing our revenue, increasing our cost, or damaging our reputation.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Introduction

We are a growth-oriented MLP formed in Delaware in 1996. Our common units are traded on the NYSE, under the ticker symbol “GEL.” We are a provider of an integrated suite of midstream services (primarily transportation, storage, sulfur removal, blending, terminaling and processing) for a large area of the Gulf of America and the Gulf Coast region of the crude oil and natural gas industry. We provide an integrated suite of services to crude oil and natural gas producers, refiners, and industrial and commercial enterprises and have a diverse portfolio of assets, including pipelines, offshore hub and junction platforms, refinery-related plants, storage tanks, terminals, railcars, rail unloading facilities, barges and other vessels, and trucks.

Prior to February 28, 2025, our operations also included the Alkali Business. We determined that the exit of the Alkali Business and its operations in Wyoming represented a strategic and geographic shift that met the criteria for discontinued operations. Accordingly, we have separately reported the operations from the Alkali Business in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and the related assets and liabilities of the Alkali Business in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as discontinued operations. These changes have been applied retrospectively to all periods presented.

Included in Management’s Discussion and Analysis are the following sections:

• Overview of 2025 Results

• Recent Developments and Initiatives

• Results of Operations

• Other Consolidated Results

• Financial Measures

• Liquidity and Capital Resources

• Guarantor Summarized Financial Information

• Critical Accounting Estimates

Overview of 2025 Results

We reported Net Income from Continuing Operations of $30.5 million in 2025 compared to Net Loss from Continuing Operations of $50.8 million in 2024.

Net Income from Continuing Operations in 2025 was primarily impacted by an increase in operating income associated with our reportable segments, primarily related to our offshore pipeline transportation segment (see “Results of Operations” below for additional details). In addition, an impairment expense of $43.0 million was reported during 2024, whereas no impairment expense was reported in 2025 (see “Results of Operations” below for additional details). These impacts were partially offset by: (i) an increase in general and administrative expenses of $28.0 million primarily related to an increase in third-party transaction costs incurred associated with the sale of the Alkali Business on February 28, 2025; (see “Results of Operations” below for additional details); (ii) an increase in depreciation and amortization expense of $25.4 million (see “Results of Operations” below for additional details); and (iii) a decrease in equity in earnings of equity investees of $10.7 million.

We reported Net Loss from Discontinued Operations, net of tax of $423.7 million in 2025 and Net Income from Discontinued Operations, net of tax of $17.8 million in 2024 associated with the Alkali Business that was sold on February 28, 2025. Net Loss from Discontinued Operations, net of tax in 2025 was impacted by a loss of $432.2 million associated with the sale of the Alkali Business.

Cash flows from operating activities, which is inclusive of both our continuing and discontinued operations, were $252.8 million for 2025 compared to $391.9 million for 2024. This decrease was primarily attributable to negative changes in our working capital requirements during 2025 compared to 2024. In addition, cash flows provided by operating activities for 2025 only included two months of activity from the Alkali Business, as it was sold on February 28, 2025, whereas 2024 included a full year of activity from the Alkali Business.

Table o f Contents

Available Cash before Reserves (as defined below in “Non-GAAP Financial Measures”) to our common unitholders was $149.1 million for 2025, a decrease of $10.3 million, or 6%, from 2024 primarily as a result of 2025 only including two months of activity from the Alkali Business, as it was sold on February 28, 2025, whereas 2024 included a full year of activity from the Alkali Business. Partially offsetting this decrease were primarily the following: (i) an increase in Segment Margin of $48.7 million in 2025 compared to 2024 from our continuing operations (which is further discussed below in “Results from Operations”); and (ii) a decrease in accumulated distributions to our Class A Convertible Preferred unitholders of $23.0 million. See “Financial Measures” below for additional information on Available Cash before Reserves.

Segment Margin was $577.9 million in 2025, an increase of $48.7 million, or 9%, as compared to 2024. We currently manage our businesses through three divisions that constitute our reportable segments - offshore pipeline transportation, marine transportation and onshore transportation and services. A more detailed discussion of our segment results and other costs is included below in “Results of Operations.”

Distributions to Unitholders

On February 13, 2026, we paid a distribution of $0.18 per common unit related to the fourth quarter of 2025. This represents a 9% increase in the quarterly distribution to common unitholders from the previous quarter.

With respect to our Class A Convertible Preferred Units, we declared a quarterly cash distribution of $0.9473 per unit (or $3.7892 on an annualized basis). These distributions were paid on February 13, 2026 to unitholders holders of record at the close of business January 30, 2026.

Recent Developments and Initiatives

Our primary objectives and strategies are to generate and grow stable free cash flows from operations and continue to deleverage our balance sheet, while never wavering from our commitment to safe and responsible operations. We believe the following have been and are important to meet our objectives:

• The completion of our major growth capital spending program during 2025, which included the construction and connection of our SYNC Pipeline and the expansion of our existing CHOPS Pipeline.

• An increase in volumes from long-term contracted offshore commercial opportunities in the Gulf of America, including volumes from the Shenandoah development, which saw first production in the third quarter of 2025 and ties into our SYNC Pipeline and further downstream to our CHOPS Pipeline, and volumes from the Salamanca FPS, which also saw first production in the third quarter of 2025 and ties into our existing SEKCO Pipeline for further transportation downstream on our Poseidon Pipeline.

• New and incremental volumes from continued in-field and sub-sea tieback opportunities as a result of the continued investment by the offshore producing community. These opportunities require minimal to no additional investment from us as a result of the current production handling capacity on our offshore pipeline transportation assets in the Gulf of America.

• The creation of financial flexibility from a combination of a significant amount of available borrowing capacity under our senior secured credit facility, subject to compliance with covenants, and our increasing cash flows from operations as discussed above, which will allow us to maximize our cash flow and focus on returning value to our capital structure with an emphasis on reducing debt in absolute terms, opportunistically redeeming our Class A Convertible Preferred Units and thoughtfully evaluating increases in our quarterly distributions to common unitholders.

Offshore Growth Capital Projects Completion

We previously entered into definitive agreements to provide transportation services for 100% of the crude oil production associated with two separate standalone deepwater developments (Shenandoah and Salamanca). In conjunction with these agreements, we committed to two offshore growth capital projects, which included expanding the current capacity of our 64% owned CHOPS Pipeline and constructing the SYNC Pipeline, a new 100% owned, approximately 105-mile, 20” diameter crude oil pipeline to connect the Shenandoah deepwater development to our existing asset footprint in the Gulf of America.

The CHOPS expansion included a complete overhaul of the GB-72 platform topside facilities, reconnection of the CHOPS Pipeline to the GB-72 platform, and the addition of pumps at both the HI-A5 and GB-72 platforms to upgrade processing capabilities and increase throughput on the CHOPS Pipeline.

During 2025, we successfully finished the CHOPS expansion and SYNC Pipeline, which completed our major growth capital spending program. During the third quarter of 2025, we saw first production from the Shenandoah and Salamanca deepwater developments. During the fourth quarter of 2025, we saw ramp up in volumes from Shenandoah to over 90 MBbls/day, which is in excess of the MVCs, while volumes from Salamanca reached over 30 MBbls/day during the fourth quarter of 2025 and continued to ramp up toward targeted production levels.

Table o f Contents

These two new developments represent a significant step change for the future financial performance of our offshore pipeline transportation segment. Longer term, in addition to the production expected from these fields, we are well positioned to benefit from a growing inventory of future opportunities around these production facilities as well as around the remaining excess capacity available on our now expanded pipeline infrastructure. Combined with minimal future growth capital requirements, these new developments will serve as the cornerstone of our ability to generate increasing levels of free cash flow in the future.

Sale of the Alkali Business and Related Transactions

On February 28, 2025, we completed the sale of the Alkali Business to an indirect affiliate of WE Soda Ltd for a gross purchase price of $ 1.425  billion. The sale generated proceeds of approximately $ 1.0  billion, which reflects the net proceeds after the assumption of $ 413.4 million of our then outstanding Alkali senior secured notes by an indirect affiliate of WE Soda Ltd, and other purchase price adjustments. We used the proceeds to pay down the outstanding balance on our senior secured credit facility on February 28, 2025, purchase 7,416,196 Class A Convertible Preferred Units on March 6, 2025 at a purchase price of $35.40, and redeem the remaining $ 406.2 million of principal outstanding on the 8.000% senior unsecured notes due January 15, 2027 (the “2027 Notes”) on April 3, 2025. The sale of the Alkali Business has allowed us to deleverage our balance sheet, and provide additional financial flexibility for us to focus on returning value to our capital structure.

Table o f Contents

Results of Operations

In the discussions that follow, we will focus on our revenues, costs and expenses, as well as two measures that we use to manage the business and to review the results of our operations - Segment Margin and Available Cash before Reserves. Segment Margin and Available Cash before Reserves are defined in the “Financial Measures” section below.

Revenues, Costs and Expenses

Our revenues for the year ended December 31, 2025 decreased $30.4 million, or 2%, from the year ended December 31, 2024, and our costs and expenses (excluding the impairment expense in 2024) decreased $75.7 million, or 5%, between the two periods, with a net increase to operating income (excluding the impairment expense in 2024) of $45.3 million. The increase in our operating income during 2025 is primarily due to: (i) our offshore pipeline transportation segment as a result of the contractual MVCs on our 100% owned SYNC Pipeline and 64% owned CHOPS Pipeline associated with the Shenandoah deepwater development that began in June 2025; (ii) a subsequent ramp-up in production from the Shenandoah development in excess of the MVCs during the fourth quarter 2025; and (iii) an overall increase in volumes across our offshore pipeline transportation network (see further discussion below). These were partially offset by: (i) an increase in depreciation and amortization of $25.4 million during 2025 (see further discussion below); and (ii) an increase in general and administrative expenses of $28.0 million during 2025 (see further discussion below). See further discussion below under “Segment Margin” regarding the activity in our individual operating segments.

A substantial portion of our revenues and costs are derived from our onshore transportation and services segment, which includes the purchase and sale of crude oil in our crude oil marketing business as well as our other refinery-centric onshore operations. Additionally, our revenues and costs are derived from the operations within our offshore pipeline transportation segment and our marine transportation segment. We describe the impact on revenues and costs for each of our businesses in more detail below.

As it relates to our crude oil marketing business, the average closing prices for West Texas Intermediate crude oil on the New York Mercantile Exchange (“NYMEX”) decreased approximately 15% to $65.39 per barrel in 2025 as compared to $76.63 per barrel in 2024. We expect changes in crude oil prices to continue to proportionately affect our revenues and costs attributable to our purchase and sale of crude oil, resulting in a minimal direct impact on Net income (loss), Segment Margin and Available Cash before Reserves. We have limited our direct commodity price exposure in our crude oil operations through the broad use of fee-based service contracts, back-to-back purchase and sale arrangements and hedges. As a result, changes in the price of crude oil would proportionately impact both our revenues and our costs, with a disproportionately smaller impact on Net income (loss), Segment Margin and Available Cash before Reserves. However, we do have some indirect exposure to certain changes in prices for crude oil, particularly if they are significant and extended. We tend to experience more demand for certain of our services when prices increase significantly over extended periods of time, and we tend to experience less demand for certain of our services when prices decrease significantly over extended periods of time. For additional information regarding certain of our indirect exposure to commodity prices, see our segment-by-segment analysis below and the section of our Annual Report entitled “ Risks Related to Our Business.”

We also have revenues and costs associated with our other refinery-centric operations including our sulfur services business, which we believe is one of the largest producers and marketers of NaHS in North and South America, and from our other logistical assets including pipelines, trucks, terminals, and rail unloading facilities.

We conduct our offshore crude oil and natural gas pipeline transportation and handling operations in the Gulf of America through our offshore pipeline transportation segment, which focuses on providing a suite of services to integrated and large independent energy companies who make intensive capital investments (often in excess of a billion dollars) to develop large-reservoir, long-lived crude oil and natural gas properties located primarily in offshore Texas, Louisiana and Mississippi. We own interests in various offshore crude oil and natural gas pipeline systems, platforms and related infrastructure and generate cash flows from fees to customers to utilize our assets. Our costs are primarily related to expenses incurred for the maintenance of our assets, employee compensation, and other operating costs.

Our marine transportation segment consists of (i) our inland marine fleet, which transports intermediate refined petroleum products, including asphalt, principally serving refineries and storage terminals along the Gulf Coast, Intracoastal Canal and western river systems of the U.S., primarily along the Mississippi River and its tributaries; (ii) our offshore marine fleet, which transports crude oil and refined petroleum products, principally serving refineries and storage terminals along the Gulf Coast, Eastern Seaboard, Great Lakes and Caribbean; and (iii) our modern, double-hulled tanker, M/T American Phoenix. Our revenues are driven by the demand for our barge services and associated utilization of our fleets, as well as the day rates we charge, which can be dependent upon market conditions (including supply and demand in the market), amongst other factors. Our costs are principally related to the costs required to maintain our fleets, employee compensation, and other operating costs.

Refiners are the shippers of a majority o f the volumes transported on our onshore crude oil pipelines. Additionally, refiners contracted for the majority of the revenues from our marine transportation segment during 2025 , which are used primarily to transport intermediate refined products (not crude oil) between ref ining complexes. Given these facts, we do not

Table o f Contents

expect changes in commodity prices to impact our Net income (loss), Segment Margin or Available Cash before Reserves derived from our offshore crude oil and natural gas pipeline transportation and handling operations in the same manner in which they impact our revenues and costs derived from the purchase and sale of crude oil.

Additionally, changes in certain of our operating costs between the respective periods, such as those associated with our offshore pipeline transportation and marine transportation segments, are not directly correlated with crude oil prices. We discuss certain of those costs in further detail below in our segment-by-segment analysis.

Included below is additional detailed discussion of the results of our operations focusing on Segment Margin and other costs including general and administrative expenses, depreciation and amortization, impairment expense, interest expense, net, and income taxes.

Segment Margin

We define Segment Margin as revenues less product costs, operating expenses and segment general and administrative expenses (all of which are net of the effects of our noncontrolling interest holders), plus or minus applicable Select Items (defined below in “Non-GAAP Financial Measures”) from continuing operations. Although we do not necessarily consider all of our Select Items to be non-recurring, infrequent or unusual, we believe that an understanding of these Select Items is important to the evaluation of our core operating results. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for further discussion surrounding total Segment Margin.

(1) The increase in operating costs are primarily related to an increase in costs associated with accommodating our higher level of volumes in 2025, such as fuel and drag reducing agent costs, which are often rebilled to the associated producers and do not have a significant impact to our Segment Margin.

(2) Offshore pipeline transportation Segment Margin includes distributions received from our offshore pipeline joint ventures accounted for under the equity method of accounting in 2025 and 2024, respectively.

(3) One of our wholly-owned subsidiaries (GEL Offshore Pipeline, LLC, or “GOPL”) owns our undivided interest in the Eugene Island pipeline system.

(4) Volumes are the product of our effective ownership interest throughout the year multiplied by the relevant throughput over the given year.

Table o f Contents

Offshore pipeline transportation Segment Margin for 2025 increased $52.9 million, or 16%, from 2024, primarily due to: (i) the contractual MVCs on our 100% owned SYNC Pipeline and 64% owned CHOPS Pipeline associated with the deepwater Shenandoah development that began in June 2025 and a subsequent ramp-up in production from the Shenandoah development in excess of the MVCs during the fourth quarter 2025, and (ii) an increase to other MVCs on our 64% owned CHOPS Pipeline during 2025, including those related to the Warrior and Winterfell developments. Production volumes from the Shenandoah FPS are life-of-lease dedicated to our 100% owned SYNC Pipeline and further downstream to our 64% owned CHOPS Pipeline. The Shenandoah FPS achieved first oil production in late July 2025 and we have seen a ramp-up in volumes from the Shenandoah FPS to over 90 MBbls/day during the fourth quarter of 2025. Additionally, production from the Salamanca FPS, which ties into our existing SEKCO Pipeline for further transportation downstream on our Poseidon Pipeline, came on-line at the end of September. Production from the initial three wells has since ramped up to over 30 MBbls/day in December 2025. A fourth well is planned to be drilled and completed in the second quarter of 2026, with the potential for a fifth well to be drilled and completed as early as the fourth quarter of 2026, at which point Salamanca production levels are anticipated to approach 50 to 60 MBbls/day.

Partially offsetting these increases to Segment Margin were decreases primarily due to: (i) an economic step-down in the rate on a certain existing life-of-lease transportation dedication beginning in the third quarter of 2024 as we reached the 10-year anniversary of a certain existing life-of-lease dedication, which resulted in the contractual economic step-down of the associated transportation rate; and (ii) an increase in producer downtime in 2025 compared to 2024 as a result of several wells being shut in due to certain sub-sea operational and technical challenges that began in the second quarter of 2024 and continued to impact our production results for a majority of 2025. As of December 31, 2025, most of these mechanical issues were resolved by our producer customers.

Marine Transportation Segment

Within our marine transportation segment, we own a fleet of 87 barges (78 inland and 9 offshore) with a combined transportation capacity of 3.0 million barrels, 43 push/tow boats (33 inland and 10 offshore), and a 330,000 barrel capacity ocean going tanker, the M/T American Phoenix. Operating results for our marine transportation segment were as follows:

(2) Utilization rates are based on a 365 day year, as adjusted for planned downtime and drydocking.

Marine Transportation Segment Margin for 2025 decreased $9.3 million, or 7%, from 2024. We experienced slightly lower utilization rates during 2025 in our inland business primarily due to a temporary decline in refinery utilization during the first quarter of 2025 and a decline in Midwest refinery demand for black oil equipment as a result of changing crude slates in the third quarter of 2025. This decrease in Segment Margin from our inland marine business was partially offset by an increase in Segment Margin from our offshore marine business primarily as a result of fewer dry-docking days in our offshore fleet. In addition, the M/T American Phoenix, which is under contract through mid-2027, benefited from a contractual rate increase during 2025 compared to 2024.

Onshore Transportation and Services Segment

Our onshore transportation and services segment includes terminaling, blending, storing, and marketing of crude oil, and transporting of crude oil and refined products, as well as the processing of high sulfur (or “sour”) gas streams for refineries to remove the sulfur, and selling the related by-product, NaHS. Our onshore transportation and services segment utilizes an integrated set of pipelines, storage tanks, terminals, facilities, trucks and barges to facilitate the movement of crude oil and refined products on behalf of producers, refiners and other customers. This segment includes crude oil and refined products pipelines, terminals, rail unloading facilities, and refinery processing locations operating primarily within the U.S. Gulf Coast market. In addition, we utilize our trucking fleet that supports the purchase and sale of gathered and bulk-purchased crude oil as well as the sale and delivery of NaHS and NaOH (also known as caustic soda) to customers. Through these assets we offer our customers a full suite of services, including the following as of December 31, 2025:

• facilitating the transportation of crude oil and refined products from producers and from our terminals, as well as those owned by third parties, to refineries via pipelines and trucks;

• purchasing/selling and/or transporting, storing, and blending crude oil from the wellhead to markets for ultimate use in refining;

• purchasing products from refiners, transporting those products to one of our terminals and blending those products to a quality that meets the requirements of our customers, storing, and selling those products (primarily fuel oil, asphalt and other heavy refined products) to wholesale markets;

• unloading railcars at our crude-by-rail terminals;

• providing sulfur removal services from crude oil processing operations at refining or petrochemical processing facilities;

• operating storage and transportation assets in relation to our sulfur removal services; and

• selling NaHS and caustic soda to large industrial and commercial companies.

We also may use our terminal facilities to take advantage of contango market conditions for crude oil gathering and marketing and to capitalize on regional opportunities which arise from time to time for crude oil.

Despite crude oil being considered a somewhat homogeneous commodity, many refiners are very particular about the quality of crude oil feedstock they process. Many U.S. refineries have distinct configurations and product slates that require crude oil with specific characteristics, such as gravity, sulfur content and metals content. The refineries evaluate the costs to obtain, transport and process their preferred feedstocks. That particularity provides us with opportunities to help the refineries in our areas of operation identify crude oil sources and transport crude oil meeting their requirements. The imbalances and inefficiencies relative to meeting the refiners’ requirements may also provide opportunities for us to utilize our purchasing and logistical skills to meet their demands. The pricing in the majority of our crude oil purchase contracts contains a market price component and a deduction to cover the cost of transportation and to provide us with a margin. Contracts sometimes contain a grade differential which considers the chemical composition of the crude oil and its appeal to different customers. Typically, the pricing in a contract to sell crude oil will consist of the market price components and the grade differentials. The margin on individual transactions is then dependent on our ability to manage our transportation costs and to capitalize on grade differentials.

Segment Margin for our onshore transportation and services segment increased $5.1 million, or 7%, in 2025 as compared to 2024. The increase is primarily due to an increase in the rail unload volumes at our Scenic Station facility and an overall increase in volumes on our onshore crude oil pipeline systems principally driven by an increase in volumes on our Texas pipeline system, which is a key destination point for various grades of crude oil produced in the Gulf of America including those transported on our 64% owned CHOPS Pipeline.

In our sulfur services business we experienced a decline in NaHS and NaOH sales volumes in 2025 as compared to 2024. Despite the decrease in sales volumes, we saw a slight increase in Segment Margin in 2025 primarily due to operational and logistical cost improvements as well as an improvement to our NaHS sales mix.

Segment

Long-term incentive based compensation plan expense

Third-party costs related to business development activities and growth projects

Total general and administrative expenses

Total general and administrative expenses increased $28.0 million between 2025 and 2024. This increase is primarily due to: (i) the increase in third party costs related to business development activities and growth projects as a result of the transaction costs incurred associated with the sale of the Alkali Business on February 28, 2025; and (ii) how we valued the outstanding long-term incentive compensation awards in each period. This increase was partially offset by a reduction in corporate general and administrative expenses as a result of 2024 experiencing higher costs as a result of us conforming our short-term cash incentive programs to industry standards at that time.

Total depreciation and amortization expense

Total depreciation and amortization expense increased $25.4 million between 2025 and 2024. This increase is primarily attributable to our continued growth and maintenance capital expenditures and placing new assets into service, including assets associated with our CHOPS expansion project and SYNC Pipeline, subsequent to the period ended December 31, 2024.

Impairment expense

In the fourth quarter of 2024, we terminated an on-going project related to the integration of certain of our corporate enterprise resource planning systems and we impaired the costs incurred to date. As a result, we recognized an impairment charge of $43.0 million. We did not record any impairment expense for the year ended December 31, 2025.

Interest expense, net increased $2.9 million between 2025 and 2024 primarily due to a decrease in capitalized interest in 2025, which is primarily attributable to the completion of the CHOPS expansion project and the SYNC Pipeline subsequent to 2024. This increase in interest expense, net was partially offset by a decrease in interest expense associated with our senior unsecured notes and a decrease in interest expense associated with our senior secured credit facility. The decrease in interest expense associated with our senior unsecured notes was primarily related to the redemption of our 2027 Notes on April 3, 2025. The decrease in interest expense, net associated with our senior secured credit facility during 2025 was primarily a result of a reduction in the average borrowings outstanding during the period compared to 2024.

Table o f Contents

Income tax expense

A portion of our operations are owned by wholly-owned corporate subsidiaries that are taxable as corporations. As a result, a substantial portion of the income tax expense we record relates to the operations of those corporations, and will vary from period to period as a percentage of our income before taxes based on the percentage of our income or loss that is derived from those corporations. The balance of the income tax expense we record relates to state taxes imposed on our operations that are treated as income taxes under generally accepted accounting principles and foreign income taxes.

Other Consolidated Results

Net Income from Continuing Operations for the year ended December 31, 2025 included a loss of $9.8 million associated with the following: (i) a net loss of $8.9 million associated with the redemption premium and the write-off of the related unamortized debt issuance costs and premium on the remaining $406.2 million of 2027 Notes that were redeemed in the year; and (ii) a net loss of $0.8 million associated with the write-off of unamortized credit facility issuance costs as a result of the Second Amendment to our credit agreement. These amounts are included within “Other expense” on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Net Loss from Continuing Operations for the year ended December 31, 2024 included a net loss of $15.4 million associated with the following: (i) a net loss of $14.0 million associated with the tender fee and write-off of the related unamortized debt issuance costs and premium on the initial $575.0 million of our 2027 Notes that were tendered and redeemed in the year; and (ii) a loss of $1.4 million from the write-off of the unamortized issuance costs associated with the redemption of our 6.250% senior unsecured notes due May 15, 2026 (the “2026 Notes”). These amounts are included within “Other expense” on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

(3) Volumes are the product of our effective ownership interest throughout the year multiplied by the relevant throughput over the given year.

Offshore pipeline transportation Segment Margin for 2024 decreased $73.9 million, or 18%, from 2023, primarily due to: (i) an economic step-down in the rate on a certain existing life-of-lease transportation dedication; (ii) producer underperformance at several of our major host platforms; and (iii) an increase in operating costs. At the beginning of the third quarter of 2024, we reached the 10-year anniversary of a certain existing life-of-lease dedication, which resulted in the contractual economic step-down of the associated transportation rate. Additionally, during the second half of 2024, there was an increase in producer downtime as a result of several wells being shut in due to certain sub-sea operational and technical challenges. The production from these wells impacted our results as they are molecules that we touch multiple times throughout our oil and natural gas pipeline infrastructure.

Marine Transportation Segment Margin for 2024 increased $14.6 million, or 13%, from 2023. This increase is primarily attributable to an increase in our overall day rates in our inland and offshore business, including the M/T American Phoenix, during 2024. The increase in day rates more than offset the impact to Segment Margin from the increased number of planned regulatory dry-docking days in our offshore fleet during 2024 as compared to 2023. In addition, we saw strong demand from our barge services to move intermediate and refined products keeping utilization rates high across both

periods. This strong demand from our customers as well as the lack of new supply of similar type vessels and the continued

retirement of older vessels in the market have contributed to the increase in day rates. The M/T American Phoenix started a new three-and-a-half year contract at the beginning of 2024 with a credit-worthy counterparty at the highest day rate we have received since we first purchased the vessel in 2014.

Segment Margin for our onshore transportation and facilities segment decreased $1.8 million, or 3%, in 2024 as compared to 2023. The decrease is primarily due to lower NaHS sales volumes and pricing and an overall decrease in volumes on our onshore crude oil pipeline systems. In our sulfur services business, we faced challenges on the production side at our largest host refinery as well as continued pressures on demand in South America, including competitive pressures from Chinese flake, which had a negative impact on pricing during 2024. This decrease in Segment Margin was partially offset by an increase in the rail unload volumes at our Scenic Station facility.

Table o f Contents

Interest expense, net increased $42.8 million, or 20%, between 2024 and 2023 primarily due to an increase in interest associated with our senior unsecured notes and senior secured credit facility. The increase in interest expense associated with our senior unsecured notes was primarily related to: (i) the issuance of our 8.250% senior unsecured notes due January 15, 2029, issued on December 7, 2023 in aggregate principal amount of $600.0 million (the “2029 Notes”), which have a higher principal and interest rate as compared to our 6.500% senior unsecured notes due October 1, 2025 (the “2025 Notes”) that were partially tendered in December 2023 and ultimately redeemed in January 2024; and (ii) the issuance of $700.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 7.875% senior unsecured notes due May 15, 2032 (the “2032 Notes”) in May 2024, which have a higher principal and interest rate as compared to our 2026 Notes that were redeemed in June 2024. The increase in interest expense associated with our senior secured credit facility is primarily due to higher average outstanding indebtedness during 2024 and an increase in the SOFR rate, which is one of the main components of our interest rate, compared to 2023.

This increase was partially offset by higher capitalized interest during 2024 as a result of our increased capital expenditures associated with our offshore growth capital construction projects during the year.

Other Consolidated Results

Net Loss from Continuing Operations for the year ended December 31, 2024 included a net loss of $15.4 million associated with the following: (i) a net loss of $14.0 million associated with the tender fee and write-off of the related unamortized debt issuance costs and premium on the initial $575.0 million of our 2027 Notes that were tendered and redeemed in the year; and (ii) a loss of $1.4 million from the write-off of the unamortized issuance costs associated with the redemption of our 6.250% senior unsecured notes due May 15, 2026 (the “2026 Notes”). These amounts are included within “Other expense” on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Non- GAAP Financial Measures

General

To help evaluate our business, this Annual Report on Form 10-K includes the non-generally accepted accounting principles (“non-GAAP”) financial measure of Available Cash before Reserves. We also present total Segment Margin as if it were a non-GAAP measure. Our non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies because such measures may include or exclude other specified items. The accompanying schedules provide reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (GAAP). A reconciliation of Income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes to total Segment Margin is included in our segment disclosure in Note 14 to our Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8. Our non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered (i) as alternatives to GAAP measures of liquidity or financial performance or (ii) as being singularly important in any particular context; they should be considered in a broad context with other quantitative and qualitative information. Our Available Cash before Reserves and total Segment Margin measures are just two of the relevant data points considered from time to time.

When evaluating our performance and making decisions regarding our future direction and actions (including making discretionary payments, such as quarterly distributions) our board of directors and management team have access to a wide range of historical and forecasted qualitative and quantitative information, such as our financial statements; operational information; various non-GAAP measures; internal forecasts; credit metrics; analyst opinions; performance, liquidity and similar measures; income; cash flow expectations for us; and certain information regarding some of our peers. Additionally, our board of directors and management team analyze, and place different weight on, various factors from time to time. We believe that investors benefit from having access to the same financial measures being utilized by management, lenders, analysts and other market participants. We attempt to provide adequate information to allow each individual investor and other external user to reach her/his own conclusions regarding our actions without providing so much information as to overwhelm or confuse such investor or other external user. Our non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as an alternative to GAAP measures such as net income, operating income, cash flow from operating activities or any other GAAP measure of liquidity or financial performance.

Segment Margin

We define Segment Margin as revenues less product costs, operating expenses, and segment general and administrative expenses (all of which are net of the effects of our noncontrolling interest holders), plus or minus applicable Select Items (defined below) from our continuing operations. Although we do not necessarily consider all of our Select Items to be non-recurring, infrequent or unusual, we believe that an understanding of these Select Items is important to the evaluation

Table o f Contents

of our core operating results. Our CODM evaluates segment performance based on a variety of measures including Segment Margin, segment volumes, and, where relevant, capital investment.

A reconciliation of Income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes to total Segment Margin is included in our segment disclosure in Note 14 to our Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8.

Available Cash before Reserves

Purposes, Uses and Definition

Available Cash before Reserves, often referred to by others as distributable cash flow, is a quantitative standard used throughout the investment community with respect to publicly-traded partnerships and is commonly used as a supplemental financial measure by management and by external users of financial statements such as investors, commercial banks, research analysts and rating agencies, to aid in assessing, among other things:

(1)    the financial performance of our assets;

(2)    our operating performance;

(3)    the viability of potential projects, including our cash and overall return on alternative capital investments as compared to those of other companies in the midstream energy industry;

(4)    the ability of our assets to generate cash sufficient to satisfy certain non-discretionary cash requirements, including interest payments and certain maintenance capital requirements; and

(5)    our ability to make certain discretionary payments, such as distributions on our preferred and common units, growth capital expenditures, certain maintenance capital expenditures and early payments of indebtedness.

We define Available Cash before Reserves (“Available Cash before Reserves”) as Net income (loss) attributable to Genesis Energy, L.P. before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (including impairment, write-offs, accretion and similar items) after eliminating other non-cash revenues, expenses, gains, losses and charges (including any loss on asset dispositions), plus or minus certain other select items that we view as not indicative of our core operating results (collectively, “Select Items”), as adjusted for certain items, the most significant of which in the relevant reporting periods have been the sum of maintenance capital utilized, interest expense, net, cash tax expense and cash distributions attributable to our Class A Convertible Preferred unitholders. Although we do not necessarily consider all of our Select Items to be non-recurring, infrequent or unusual, we believe that an understanding of these Select Items is important to the evaluation of our core operating results. The most significant Select Items in the relevant reporting periods are set forth below.

Disclosure Format Relating to Maintenance Capital

We use a modified format relating to maintenance capital requirements because our maintenance capital expenditures vary materially in nature (discretionary vs. non-discretionary), timing and amount from time to time. We believe that, without such modified disclosure, such changes in our maintenance capital expenditures could be confusing and potentially misleading to users of our financial information, particularly in the context of the nature and purposes of our Available Cash before Reserves measure. Our modified disclosure format provides those users with information in the form of our maintenance capital utilized measure (which we deduct to arrive at Available Cash before Reserves). Our maintenance capital utilized measure constitutes a proxy for non-discretionary maintenance capital expenditures and it takes into consideration the relationship among maintenance capital expenditures, operating expenses and depreciation from period to period.

Maintenance Capital Requirements

Maintenance capital expenditures are capitalized costs that are necessary to maintain the service capability of our existing assets, including the replacement of any system component or equipment which is worn out or obsolete. Maintenance capital expenditures can be discretionary or non-discretionary, depending on the facts and circumstances.

Prior to 2014, substantially all of our maintenance capital expenditures were (a) related to our pipeline assets and similar infrastructure, (b) non-discretionary in nature and (c) immaterial in amount as compared to our Available Cash before Reserves measure. Those historical expenditures were non-discretionary (or mandatory) in nature because we had very little (if any) discretion as to whether or when we incurred them. We had to incur them in order to continue to operate the related pipelines in a safe and reliable manner and consistently with past practices. If we had not made those expenditures, we would not have been able to continue to operate all or portions of those pipelines, which would not have been economically feasible. An example of a non-discretionary (or mandatory) maintenance capital expenditure would be replacing a segment of an old pipeline because one can no longer operate that pipeline safely, legally and/or economically in the absence of such replacement.

Beginning with 2014, we believe a substantial amount of our maintenance capital expenditures from time to time will be (a) related to our assets other than pipelines, such as our marine vessels, trucks and similar assets, (b) discretionary in nature and (c) potentially material in amount as compared to our Available Cash before Reserves measure. Those expenditures will be discretionary (or non-mandatory) in nature because we will have significant discretion as to whether or when we incur them. We will not be forced to incur them in order to continue to operate the related assets in a safe and reliable manner. If we chose not make those expenditures, we would be able to continue to operate those assets economically, although in lieu of maintenance capital expenditures, we would incur increased operating expenses, including maintenance expenses. An example of a discretionary (or non-mandatory) maintenance capital expenditure would be replacing an older marine vessel with a new marine vessel with substantially similar specifications, even though one could continue to economically operate the older vessel in spite of its increasing maintenance and other operating expenses.

In summary, as we continue to expand certain non-pipeline portions of our business, we are experiencing changes in the nature (discretionary vs. non-discretionary), timing and amount of our maintenance capital expenditures that merit a more detailed review and analysis than was required historically. Management’s increasing ability to determine if and when to incur certain maintenance capital expenditures is relevant to the manner in which we analyze aspects of our business relating to discretionary and non-discretionary expenditures. We believe it would be inappropriate to derive our Available Cash before Reserves measure by deducting discretionary maintenance capital expenditures, which we believe are similar in nature in this context to certain other discretionary expenditures, such as growth capital expenditures, distributions/dividends and equity buybacks. Unfortunately, not all maintenance capital expenditures are clearly discretionary or non-discretionary in nature. Therefore, we developed a measure, maintenance capital utilized, that we believe is more useful in the determination of Available Cash before Reserves.

Table o f Contents

Maintenance Capital Utilized

We believe our maintenance capital utilized measure is the most useful quarterly maintenance capital requirements measure to use to derive our Available Cash before Reserves measure. We define our maintenance capital utilized measure as that portion of the amount of previously incurred maintenance capital expenditures that we utilize during the relevant quarter, which would be equal to the sum of the maintenance capital expenditures we have incurred for each project/component in prior quarters allocated ratably over the useful lives of those projects/components.

Our maintenance capital utilized measure constitutes a proxy for non-discretionary maintenance capital expenditures and it takes into consideration the relationship among maintenance capital expenditures, operating expenses and depreciation from period to period. Because we did not use our maintenance capital utilized measure before 2014, our maintenance capital utilized calculations will reflect the utilization of solely those maintenance capital expenditures incurred since December 31, 2013.

Available Cash before Reserves for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 was as follows:

Our maintenance capital expenditures are principally associated with our marine transportation businesses.

(2) Includes non-cash items such as depreciation, depletion and amortization and unrealized gains or losses on derivative transactions, amongst other items.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

General

On May 9, 2024, we issued $700.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 7.875% senior unsecured notes due May 15, 2032 (the “2032 Notes”). Interest payments are due May 15 and November 15 of each year. The issuance of our 2032 Notes generated net proceeds of approximately $688 million, net of issuance costs incurred. The net proceeds were used to redeem all of our existing 6.25% senior unsecured notes due May 15, 2026 (the “2026 Notes”), $339.3 million in principal amount of which were outstanding, and pay the related accrued interest. The remaining proceeds were used to repay a portion of the borrowings outstanding under our senior secured credit facility and for general partnership purposes.

On July 19, 2024, we entered into the Seventh Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (our “credit agreement”) to replace our Sixth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The credit agreement provided for a $900 million senior secured revolving credit facility that matures on September 1, 2028, subject to extension at our request for one additional year on up to two occasions and subject to certain conditions, provided that if more than $150 million of our 2028 Notes remain outstanding as of November 2, 2027, the credit agreement matures on such date.

Table o f Contents

On December 11, 2024 we entered into the First Amendment to the Seventh Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, which resulted in several changes to the credit agreement terms including; (i) an increase of the maximum consolidated leverage ratio covenant from 5.50 to 1.00 to 5.75 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarters ending December 31, 2024 through September 30, 2025, returning to 5.50 to 1.00 thereafter; and (ii) changes to the minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio covenant from 2.40 to 1.00 to (A) 2.00 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarters ending December 31, 2024 through December 31, 2025, (B) 2.25 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarters ending March 31, 2026 through December 31, 2026, and (C) 2.50 to 1.00 at any time thereafter.

On December 19, 2024, we issued $600 million in aggregate principal amount of 8.000% senior unsecured notes due May 15, 2033 (the “2033 Notes”). Interest payments are due May 15 and November 15 of each year. The issuance of our 2033 Notes generated net proceeds of approximately $589.3 million, net of issuance costs incurred. We used the net proceeds to purchase $575 million in principal of our 2027 Notes (leaving $406.2 million of principal outstanding as of December 31, 2024 on the 2027 Notes) and pay the accrued interest, tender premium and fees on the notes that were validly tendered.

On February 28, 2025 we completed the sale of the Alkali Business to an indirect affiliate of WE Soda Ltd for a gross purchase price of $1.425 billion. We received cash of approximately $1.0 billion, which reflects the net proceeds after the assumption of our then outstanding Alkali senior secured notes by an indirect affiliate of WE Soda Ltd, amongst other purchase price adjustments. We used a portion of the cash proceeds to pay down the outstanding balance on our senior secured credit facility as of February 28, 2025, repurchase certain of our outstanding Class A Convertible Preferred Units (discussed further below), redeem a portion of our outstanding senior unsecured notes (discussed further below), and for general partnership purposes.

In connection with the sale of the Alkali Business, we also entered into the Second Amendment to the credit agreement. This amendment provides for: (i) a reduction from $900 million to $800 million of total borrowing capacity under our senior secured credit facility; (ii) unlimited cash netting against our outstanding debt for purposes of our Consolidated Leverage calculation if our credit facility is undrawn at the end of a reporting period, otherwise a maximum netting of $25 million is allowed; and (iii) an increased permitted investment basket under certain circumstances that will allow us to opportunistically purchase existing private or public securities across our capital structure.

On March 6, 2025, we entered into purchase agreements with certain Class A Convertible Preferred unitholders whereby we purchased a total of 7,416,196 Class A Convertible Preferred Units at an average purchase price of $35.40 per unit. In addition, on February 3, 2026, we entered into a purchase agreement with one of our Class A Convertible Preferred unitholders whereby we purchased 741,620 Class A Convertible Preferred Units at a purchase price of $33.71 per unit. The purchase of these Class A Convertible Preferred Units, which carried an annual coupon rate of 11.24%, has allowed us to lower our overall cost of capital.

On April 3, 2025, using a portion of the cash proceeds from the sale of the Alkali Business, we redeemed the remaining $406.2 million of principal outstanding on the 2027 Notes, and paid the related accrued interest and redemption premium on those notes that were redeemed.

The successful completion of the above events, and in particular the sale of the Alkali Business, has kick-started the process of simplifying our capital structure, lowered our overall cost of capital and has resulted in no scheduled maturities of our senior unsecured notes or our senior secured credit facility until 2028. In addition, we have $788.6 million of borrowing capacity available under our senior secured credit facility, subject to compliance with covenants in the credit agreement.

We anticipate that our future internally-generated funds and the funds available under our senior secured credit facility will allow us to meet our ordinary course capital needs. Our primary sources of liquidity have been cash flows from operations, proceeds from the sale of assets, borrowing availability under our senior secured credit facility, the proceeds from issuances of equity (common and preferred) and senior unsecured or secured notes and the creation of strategic arrangements to share capital costs through joint ventures or strategic alliances.

Our primary cash requirements consist of:

• working capital, primarily inventories and trade receivables and payables;

• routine operating expenses;

• growth capital (as discussed in more detail below) and maintenance projects;

• interest payments related to outstanding debt;

• asset retirement obligations;

• quarterly cash distributions to our preferred and common unitholders; and

• acquisitions of assets or businesses.

In addition, in an effort to return capital to our investors, we announced a common equity repurchase program (the “Repurchase Program”) on August 8, 2023. The Repurchase Program authorizes the repurchase from time to time of up to 10%

Table o f Contents

of our then outstanding Class A Common Units, or 12,253,922 units, via open market purchases or negotiated transactions conducted in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements. These repurchases may be made pursuant to a repurchase plan or plans that comply with Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Repurchase Program does not create an obligation for us to acquire a particular number of Class A Common Units and any Class A Common Units repurchased will be canceled. The Repurchase Program will be reviewed again no later than December 31, 2026 and may be suspended or discontinued at any time prior thereto. During 2024 and 2025, we did not repurchase any Class A Common Units, and to date, we have purchased 114,900 Class A Common Units under the Repurchase Program.

Capital Resources

Our ability to satisfy future capital needs will depend on our ability to raise substantial amounts of additional capital from time to time, including through equity and debt offerings (public and private), borrowings under our senior secured credit facility and other financing transactions, and to implement our growth strategy successfully. No assurance can be made that we will be able to raise necessary funds on satisfactory terms.

At December 31, 2025, we had $6.4 million borrowed under our senior secured credit facility, with $28.1 million designated as a loan under the inventory sublimit. Our senior secured credit facility does not include a “borrowing base” limitation except with respect to our inventory loans. Due to the revolving nature of loans under our senior secured credit facility, additional borrowings and periodic repayments and re-borrowings may be made until the maturity date of our senior secured credit facility. The total amount available for borrowings under our senior secured credit facility at December 31, 2025 was $788.6 million, subject to compliance with covenants in the credit agreement.

At December 31, 2025, our long-term debt totaled approximately $3.1 billion, consisting of $6.4 million outstanding under our senior secured credit facility (including $28.1 million borrowed under the inventory sublimit tranche) and $3,079.4 million of senior unsecured notes. Our senior unsecured notes balance is comprised of $679.4 million of our 2028 Notes, $600.0 million of our 2029 Notes, $500.0 million of our 8.875% senior unsecured notes due April 15, 2030, issued on January 25, 2023 (the “2030 Notes”), $700.0 million of our 2032 Notes and $600.0 million of our 2033 Notes.

Future payment obligations related to our senior secured credit facility and senior unsecured notes as of December 31, 2025, including both principal and estimated interest payments, are summarized in the table below:

Class A Convertible Preferred Units

On September 1, 2017, we sold $750 million of Class A Convertible Preferred Units in a private placement, comprised of 22,249,494 units for a cash purchase price per unit of $33.71 (subject to certain adjustments, the “Issue Price”) to two initial purchasers. Our general partner executed an amendment to our partnership agreement in connection therewith, which, among other things, authorized and established the rights and preferences of our Class A Convertible Preferred Units. Our Class A Convertible Preferred Units are senior to all of our currently outstanding classes or series of limited partner interests with respect to distribution and/or liquidation rights. Holders of our Class A Convertible Preferred Units vote on an as-converted basis with holders of our common units and have certain class voting rights, including with respect to any amendment to the partnership agreement that would adversely affect the rights, preferences or privileges, or otherwise modify the terms, of those Class A Convertible Preferred Units. The Class A Convertible Preferred Units have an effective distribution rate of 11.24%, yielding a quarterly distribution of $0.9473. As of December 31, 2025, there were 15,695,722 Class A Convertible Preferred Units outstanding.

Shelf Registration Statements

We have the ability to issue additional equity and debt securities in the future to assist us in meeting our future liquidity requirements, particularly those related to opportunistically acquiring assets and businesses and constructing new facilities and refinancing outstanding debt.

We have a universal shelf registration statement (our “2024 Shelf”) on file with the SEC which we filed on April 16, 2024 to replace our existing universal shelf registration statement that expired on April 19, 2024. Our 2024 Shelf allows us to issue an unlimited amount of equity and debt securities in connection with certain types of public offerings. However, the receptiveness of the capital markets to an offering of equity and/or debt securities cannot be assured and may be negatively impacted by, among other things, our long-term business prospects and other factors beyond our control, including market conditions. Our 2024 Shelf is set to expire in April 2027.

Cash Flows from Operations

We generally utilize the cash flows we generate from our operations to fund our common and preferred distributions and working capital needs. Excess funds that are generated are used to repay borrowings under our senior secured credit facility and/or to fund a portion of our capital expenditures. Our operating cash flows can be impacted by changes in items of working capital, primarily variances in the carrying amount of inventory and the timing of payment of accounts payable and accrued liabilities related to capital expenditures and interest charges, and the timing of accounts receivable collections from our customers.

We typically sell our crude oil in the same month in which we purchase it, so we do not need to rely on borrowings under our senior secured credit facility to pay for such crude oil purchases, other than inventory. During such periods, our accounts receivable and accounts payable generally move in tandem as we make payments and receive payments for the purchase and sale of crude oil.

The storage of our inventory of crude oil can have a material impact on our cash flows from operating activities. In the month we pay for the stored crude oil, we borrow under our senior secured credit facility (or use cash on hand) to pay for the crude oil, utilizing a portion of our operating cash flows. Conversely, cash flow from operating activities increases during the period in which we collect the cash from the sale of the stored crude oil. Additionally, for our derivatives, we may be required

Table o f Contents

to deposit margin funds with the respective exchange when commodity prices increase as the value of the derivatives utilized to hedge the price risk in our inventory fluctuates. These deposits also impact our operating cash flows as we borrow under our senior secured credit facility or use cash on hand to fund the deposits.

Through the date of February 28, 2025, in the Alkali Business, we extracted trona from our mining facilities, processed it into soda ash and other alkali products, and delivered and sold it to our customers domestically and internationally. The cash requirements for these activities were impacted by the differences in timing between the extraction and ultimate delivery of the product to a customer (as well as any time differences when we stored the alkali products).

The storage of our inventory of crude oil can have a material impact on our cash flows from operating activities. In the month we pay for the stored crude oil, we borrow under our senior secured credit facility (or use cash on hand) to pay for the crude oil, utilizing a portion of our operating cash flows. Conversely, cash flow from operating activities increases during the period in which we collect the cash from the sale of the stored crude oil. Additionally, for our exchange-traded derivatives, we may be required to deposit margin funds with the respective exchange when commodity prices increase as the value of the derivatives utilized to hedge the price risk in our inventory fluctuates. These deposits also impact our operating cash flows as we borrow under our senior secured credit facility or use cash on hand to fund the deposits.

Net cash flows provided by our operating activities were $252.8 million and $391.9 million for 2025 and 2024, respectively. The decrease in operating cash flow for 2025 compared to 2024 was primarily to attributable to negative changes in our working capital requirements during 2025 compared to 2024. In addition, cash flows provided by operating activities for 2025 only included two months of activity from the Alkali Business, as it was sold on February 28, 2025, whereas 2024 included a full year of activity from the Alkali Business.

See Note 16 in our Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 for information regarding changes in components of operating assets and liabilities during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023.

Capital Expenditures and Distributions Paid to Our Unitholders

We use cash primarily for our operating expenses, working capital needs, debt service, acquisition activities, internal growth projects and distributions we pay to our common and preferred unitholders. We finance maintenance capital expenditures and smaller internal growth projects and distributions primarily with cash generated by our operations. We have historically funded material growth capital projects (including acquisitions and internal growth projects) with borrowings under our senior secured credit facility, equity issuances (common and preferred units), the issuance of senior unsecured or secured notes, and/or the creation of strategic arrangements to share capital costs through joint ventures or strategic alliances.

(2) Excluded from the table above were total capital expenditures of $6.4 million, $94.6 million and $218.1 million for 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively, associated with the Alkali Business that was sold on February 28, 2025.

Expenditures for capital assets to grow the partnership distribution will depend on our access to debt and equity capital. We will look for opportunities to acquire assets from other parties that meet our criteria for stable cash flows. We continue to pursue a long term growth strategy that may require significant capital.

Growth Capital Expenditures

As noted above in “Recent Developments and Initiatives”, we recently completed our two offshore growth capital projects, which included the CHOPS expansion and the SYNC Pipeline projects. With the completion of these significant growth capital projects in 2025, and no significant future growth capital projects on the horizon, we do not expect significant growth capital expenditures in 2026.

While we are committed to maintaining sufficient financial flexibility and liquidity, we will continue to evaluate any accretive incremental growth opportunities should they opportunistically emerge.

Maintenance Capital Expenditures

Maintenance capital expenditures incurred during 2025, 2024 and 2023 from our continuing operations primarily related to expenditures in our marine transportation segment to replace and upgrade certain equipment associated with our barge and fleet vessels during our dry-docks. Additionally, our offshore transportation segment assets incur maintenance capital expenditures to replace, maintain and upgrade equipment at certain of our offshore platforms and pipelines that we operate. We expect future expenditures to be within a reasonable range of 2025’s expenditures dependent upon the timing of when we incur certain costs, especially the timing of our dry-docks in our marine transportation segment, and the increase in certain costs we incur. See previous discussion under “Available Cash before Reserves” for how such maintenance capital utilization is reflected in our calculation of Available Cash before Reserves.

Table o f Contents

Distributions to Unitholders

Our partnership agreement requires us to distribute 100% of our available cash (as defined therein) within 45 days after the end of each quarter to unitholders of record. Available cash generally means, for each fiscal quarter, all cash on hand at the end of the quarter:

• less the amount of cash reserves that our general partner determines in its reasonable discretion is necessary or appropriate to:

• provide for the proper conduct of our business;

• comply with applicable law, any of our debt instruments, or other agreements; or

• provide funds for distributions to our common and preferred unitholders for any one or more of the next four quarters;

• plus all cash on hand on the date of determination of available cash for the quarter resulting from working capital borrowings. Working capital borrowings are generally borrowings that are made under our senior secured credit facility and in all cases are used solely for working capital purposes or to pay distributions to partners.

On February 13, 2026, we paid a distribution of $0.18 per common unit related to the fourth quarter of 2025. With respect to our Class A Convertible Preferred Units, we declared a quarterly cash distribution of $0.9473 per unit (or $3.7892 on an annualized basis). These distributions were paid on February 13, 2026 to unitholders holders of record at the close of business January 30, 2026.

Our historical distributions to common unitholders and Class A Convertible Preferred unitholders are shown in the table below (in thousands, except per unit amounts).

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

In addition to the principal and interest payment commitments associated with our long-term debt discussed above, we have other contractual obligations and commitments as of December 31, 2025, which are summarized below.

• We have estimated operating lease payment obligations, as of December 31, 2025, totaling $154.1 million, of which $10.7 million is expected to be paid in 2026 (see Note 5 to our Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 for details on our lease obligations).

• We have current estimated asset retirement obligations of approximately $24.3 million. These requirements are expected to be funded primarily with free cash flow generated from our operations and availability under our senior secured credit facility.

Guarantor Summarized Financial Information

As of December 31, 2025, our $3.1 billion aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes co-issued by Genesis Energy, L.P. and Genesis Energy Finance Corporation are fully and unconditionally guaranteed jointly and severally by all of Genesis Energy, L.P.’s current and future 100% owned domestic subsidiaries (the “Guarantor Subsidiaries”), except for certain immaterial subsidiaries. The immaterial non-Guarantor Subsidiaries are indirectly owned by Genesis Crude Oil, L.P., a Guarantor Subsidiary. The Guarantor Subsidiaries largely own the assets that we use to operate our business. See Note 11 to our Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 for additional information regarding our consolidated debt obligations.

The guarantees are senior unsecured obligations of each Guarantor Subsidiary and rank equally in right of payment with other existing and future senior indebtedness of such Guarantor Subsidiary, and senior in right of payment to all existing and future subordinated indebtedness of such Guarantor Subsidiary. The guarantee of our senior unsecured notes by each Guarantor Subsidiary is subject to certain automatic customary releases, including in connection with the sale, disposition or transfer of all of the capital stock, or of all or substantially all of the assets, of such Guarantor Subsidiary to one or more persons that are not us or a restricted subsidiary, the exercise of legal defeasance or covenant defeasance options, the satisfaction and discharge of the indentures governing our senior unsecured notes, the designation of such Guarantor Subsidiary as a non-Guarantor Subsidiary or as an unrestricted subsidiary in accordance with the indentures governing our senior unsecured notes, the release of such Guarantor Subsidiary from its guarantee under our senior secured credit facility, or liquidation or dissolution of such Guarantor Subsidiary (collectively, the “Releases”). The obligations of each Guarantor Subsidiary under its note guarantee are limited as necessary to prevent such note guarantee from constituting a fraudulent conveyance under applicable law. We are not restricted from making investments in the Guarantor Subsidiaries and there are no significant restrictions on the ability of the Guarantor Subsidiaries to make distributions to Genesis Energy, L.P.

The rights of holders of our senior unsecured notes against the Guarantor Subsidiaries may be limited under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or state fraudulent transfer or conveyance law.

The following is the summarized financial information for Genesis Energy, L.P. and the Guarantor Subsidiaries on a combined basis after elimination of intercompany transactions among the Guarantor Subsidiaries (which includes related receivable and payable balances) and the investment in and equity earnings from the non-Guarantor Subsidiaries.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, if any, at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. We base these estimates and assumptions on historical experience and other information that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Although we believe our estimates to be reasonable, these estimates and assumptions about future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty, and, accordingly, are evaluated on a regular basis and revised as needed as new events occur or more information is acquired, and as the business environment in which we operate changes. Significant accounting policies that we employ are presented in Note 2 to our Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8.

We have defined critical accounting estimates as those that: (i) are material due to the levels of subjectivity and judgment necessary to account for highly uncertain matters or the susceptibility of such matters to change; and (ii) the impact to the financial condition or operating performance of the Company is material. Our most critical accounting estimates are discussed below.

Depreciation and Amortization of Long-Lived Assets and Intangibles

In order to calculate depreciation and amortization we must estimate the useful lives of our fixed and intangible assets at the time the assets are placed in service. We compute depreciation and amortization on a straight-line basis using the best estimated useful life at the time the asset is placed into service. The actual period over which we will use the asset may differ from the assumptions we have made about the estimated useful life. Any subsequent events that result in a change in these estimates can impact future depreciation and amortization calculations, and these changes are adjusted as we become aware of such circumstances. At a minimum, we will assess the useful lives and residual values of all long-lived assets on an annual basis to determine if adjustments are required.

Recoverability of Equity Method Investments

We account for non-marketable investments using the equity method of accounting if the investment gives us the ability to exercise significant influence over, but not control of, an investee. Under the equity method of accounting, investments are stated at initial cost and are adjusted for subsequent additional investments and our proportionate share of earnings or losses and distributions.

We evaluate our equity method investments for impairment at least annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate, in management’s judgment, that the carrying value of an investment may have experienced an other-than-temporary decline in value. When evidence of loss in value has occurred, management compares the estimated fair value of the investment to the carrying value of the investment to determine whether an impairment has occurred. If the estimated fair value is less than the carrying value and management considers the decline in value to be other than temporary, the excess of the carrying value over the estimated fair value is recognized in the financial statements as an impairment.

See Note 9 to our consolidated financial statements for our discussion on equity method investments.

Recoverability of Long-Lived Assets

When events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of our long-lived assets, including fixed assets, finite lived intangible assets, and right of use asset may not be recoverable, we review our assets for impairment. We compare the carrying value of the associated asset to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated from that asset. Estimates of future net cash flows include estimating future volumes and/or contractual commitments, future margins or tariff rates, future operating costs and other estimates and assumptions consistent with our business plans. If we determine that an asset’s carrying value may not be recoverable due to impairment, we may be required to reduce the carrying value and/or the subsequent useful life of the asset.

Any such write-down of the value and unfavorable change in the useful life of a long-lived asset would increase costs and expenses at that time.

During 2024, we terminated an on-going project related to the integration of certain of our corporate enterprise resource planning systems and we impaired the costs incurred to date. As a result, we recognized an impairment charge of $43.0 million associated with intangible construction in progress costs for the year ended December 31, 2024. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2023, we did not recognize an impairment expense associated with our long-lived assets.

Recoverability of Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase prices we paid for certain businesses over their respective fair values. We do not amortize goodwill. Goodwill is tested annually (at the reporting unit level) for possible impairment as of October 1 of each fiscal year, and on an interim basis when indicators of possible impairment exist.

We have the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value. Qualitative factors assessed for each of the applicable reporting units include, but are not limited to, changes in macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations, cost factors, discount rates, competitive environments and financial performance of the reporting units. If the qualitative assessment indicates that it is more likely than not that the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value, a quantitative test is required.

We also have the option to proceed directly to the quantitative test. Under the quantitative impairment test, the estimated fair value of the reporting unit is compared to its carrying value, including goodwill. If the carrying value of the reporting unit including goodwill exceeds its fair value, an impairment charge equal to the excess would be recognized, up to a maximum amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. We can resume the qualitative assessment in any subsequent period for any reporting unit.

We performed a quantitative assessment as of October 1, 2025 for our sulfur services reporting unit, which is the only reporting unit as of our assessment date that has goodwill. As a result of the quantitative assessment, no impairment was recorded during 2025 as the fair value of our sulfur services reporting unit exceeded the carrying value.

The fair value of our sulfur services reporting unit was determined using the income approach and was predicated on our assumptions regarding the future economic prospects of the reporting unit. Such assumptions include (i) discrete financial forecasts for the assets contained within the reporting unit, which rely on management’s estimates of operating margins, (ii) an exit multiple for cash flows beyond the discrete forecast period, and (iii) an appropriate discount rate. These key assumptions have a degree of uncertainty associated with each of them and changes in them could have a significant impact on fair value. If future results are not consistent with our estimates, we could be exposed to future impairment losses that could be material to our results of operations. Additionally, when performing sensitivity analyses to the significant assumptions, a 10% change in these assumptions does not impact our overall conclusion surrounding the valuation of our goodwill.

We also monitor the markets for our products and services, in addition to the overall market, to determine if a triggering event occurs that would indicate that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value. One of our other monitoring procedures we performed is the comparison of our market capitalization to our book equity, which did not result in an indicator of impairment.

We performed a quantitative assessment as of October 1, 2024 for our sulfur services reporting unit, and no impairment was recognized during 2024 as the fair value of our sulfur services reporting unit exceeded the carrying value.

We performed a qualitative assessment as of October 1, 2023 for our sulfur services reporting unit. We did not identify any relevant events or circumstances indicating that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than the respective carrying value. As such, a quantitative goodwill test was not required, and no goodwill impairment was recognized for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Revenue recognition - Estimation of variable consideration

Our offshore pipeline transportation segment has certain long-term contracts with customers that include variable consideration that must be estimated at contract inception and re-assessed at each reporting period. Total consideration for these arrangements is recognized as revenue over the applicable contract period and is based on our measure of satisfaction of our corresponding performance obligation. Any difference in timing of revenue recognition and billings results in contract assets and liabilities. The estimated performance obligation over the life of a contract includes significant judgments by management including volume and forecasted production information, future price indexing, our ability to transport volumes produced by our customers, and the contract period. Changes in these assumptions or a contract modification could have a material effect on the amount of variable consideration recognized as revenue.

Liability and Contingency Accruals and Asset Retirement Obligations

We accrue reserves for contingent liabilities including environmental remediation and potential legal claims. When our assessment indicates that it is probable that a liability has occurred and the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated, we make accruals. We base our estimates on all known facts at the time and our assessment of the ultimate outcome, including consultation with external experts and counsel. We revise these estimates as additional information is obtained or resolution is achieved.

We also make estimates related to future payments for environmental costs to remediate existing conditions attributable to past operations. Environmental costs include costs for studies and testing as well as remediation and restoration. We sometimes make these estimates with the assistance of third parties involved in monitoring the remediation effort.

Significant changes in new information or judgments could have a material impact to our financial results.

At December 31, 2025, we were not aware of any contingencies or environmental liabilities that would have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Additionally, certain of our assets have contractual and regulatory obligations to perform dismantlement and removal activities, and in some instances remediation, when the assets are abandoned. Our asset retirement obligations are recorded as a liability at fair value and have significant assumptions and inputs, including the estimated costs and timing of the associated abandonment activities as well as the discount and inflation rates utilized to calculate the present value of the future estimated costs, that could materially impact our financial results. During 2025, we recognized changes in estimates (primarily due to updated estimated costs and the timing of when we expect to spend these costs) associated with certain of our non-core offshore assets of approximately $3 million, and incurred new liabilities of approximately $1 million associated with certain newly constructed offshore assets. We could have impacts to our future earnings based on the actual costs we incur relative to our estimated costs.

Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities Acquired and Identification of Associated Goodwill and Intangible Assets

In conjunction with each acquisition we make, we must allocate the cost of the acquired entity to the assets and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. As additional information becomes available, we may adjust the original estimates within one year subsequent to the acquisition. In addition, we are required to recognize intangible assets separately from goodwill. Determining the fair value of assets and liabilities acquired, as well as intangible assets such as customer relationships, contracts, trade names and non-compete agreements involves professional judgment and is ultimately based on acquisition models and management’s assessment of the value of the assets and liabilities acquired, and to the extent available, third-party assessments. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their estimated useful life as determined by management. Goodwill, if any, is not amortized but instead is periodically assessed for impairment, as discussed further below. Uncertainties associated with these estimates include fluctuations in economic obsolescence factors in the area and potential future sources of cash flow.
