Organization
As used in this report, the terms "Delek Logistics Partners, LP," the "Partnership," "we," "us," or "our" may refer to Delek Logistics Partners, LP, one or more of its consolidated subsidiaries or all of them taken as a whole.
The Partnership is a Delaware limited partnership formed in April 2012 by Delek US Holdings, Inc. ("Delek Holdings") and its subsidiary Delek Logistics GP, LLC, our general partner (our "general partner").
Effective March 1, 2018, the Partnership, through its wholly-owned subsidiary DKL Big Spring, LLC, acquired from Delek Holdings certain logistics assets primarily located at or adjacent to Delek Holdings' refinery near Big Spring, Texas (the "Big Spring Refinery") and Delek Holdings' light products distribution terminal located in Stephens County, Oklahoma (collectively, the "Big Spring Logistic Assets" and such transaction the "Big Spring Logistic Assets Acquisition"). See Note 3 for further information regarding the Big Spring Logistic Assets Acquisition.
Description of Business
The Partnership primarily owns and operates crude oil, intermediate and refined products logistics and marketing assets.
We gather, transport, offload and store crude oil and intermediate products and market, distribute, transport and store refined products primarily in select regions of the southeastern United States and Texas for Delek Holdings and third parties.
A substantial majority of our existing assets are both integral to and dependent upon the success of Delek Holdings’ refining operations, as many of our assets are contracted exclusively to Delek Holdings in support of its Tyler, El Dorado and Big Spring refineries.
The Partnership generates revenue by charging fees to Delek Holdings and third parties for gathering, transporting, offloading and storing crude oil and for marketing, distributing, transporting, throughputting and storing intermediate and refined products. We also wholesale market refined products primarily in the West Texas market. A substantial majority of our contribution margin, which we define as net revenues less cost of materials and other and operating expenses, excluding depreciation and amortization, is derived from commercial agreements with Delek Holdings with initial terms ranging from five to ten years, which gives us a contractual revenue base that we believe enhances the stability of our cash flows.
