(a)
Adjusted to include the historical results of the Predecessors. See Note 1 for further discussion.
(b)
The Preferred Units entitle unitholders to receive preferred distributions on a semi-annual basis. Due to the MPLX Merger, we did not declare a distribution for the first half of 2019.
(c)
We did not declare a distribution for the second quarter of 2019 due to the MPLX Merger.
(d)
We have revised the historical allocation of general partner earnings to include the Predecessors’ losses of $16 million and $24 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively.
(e)
Distributions of earnings for limited partners’ common units for the three months ended June 30, 2018 is net of a $15 million waiver and the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 are net of a $12.5 million and $30 million waiver, respectively, from our Sponsor. There was no waiver for the three months ended June 30, 2019 because we did not declare a distribution for the second quarter of 2019 due to the MPLX Merger.
(f)
Diluted net earnings per unit include the effects of potentially dilutive units on our common units, which consist of unvested phantom units.
(g)
Amounts may not recalculate due to rounding of dollar and unit information.
