Delek Logistics Partners, LP

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

1. Organization and Basis of Presentation

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. References in this report to "Delek" refer collectively to Delek US Holdings, Inc. and any of its subsidiaries, other than (a) Delek Logistics Partners, LP and its subsidiaries and (b) its general partner (as hereinafter defined).

The Partnership is a Delaware limited partnership formed in April 2012 by Delek Logistics GP, LLC, a subsidiary of Delek and our general partner (our "general partner").

On February 10, 2014, the Partnership, through its wholly owned subsidiary Delek Logistics Operating, LLC ("OpCo"), acquired from Delek (i) the refined products terminal (the “El Dorado Terminal”) located at Delek's El Dorado, Arkansas refinery (the "El Dorado Refinery") and (ii) 158 storage tanks and certain ancillary assets (the "El Dorado Tank Assets" and together with the El Dorado Terminal, the “El Dorado Terminal and Tank Assets”) at and adjacent to the El Dorado Refinery (such transaction, the “El Dorado Acquisition”).

On March 31, 2015, the Partnership, through OpCo, acquired from Delek two crude oil rail offloading racks, which are designed to receive up to 25,000 barrels per day (“bpd”) of light crude oil or 12,000 bpd of heavy crude oil, or any combination of the two, delivered by rail to the El Dorado Refinery and related ancillary assets (the “El Dorado Assets”) (such transaction, the "El Dorado Offloading Racks Acquisition").

On March 31, 2015, the Partnership, through its wholly owned subsidiary Delek Marketing & Supply, LP, acquired from Delek a crude oil storage tank located adjacent to the Tyler Refinery (the "Tyler Crude Tank") and certain ancillary assets (collectively with the Tyler Crude Tank, the "Tyler Assets") (such transaction, the "Tyler Crude Tank Acquisition"). The Tyler Crude Tank has approximately 350,000 barrels of shell capacity and is expected to primarily support Delek's Tyler, Texas refinery (the "Tyler Refinery"). The Tyler Assets, together with the El Dorado Assets, are hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Logistics Assets."

The El Dorado Acquisition, the El Dorado Offloading Racks Acquisition and the Tyler Crude Tank Acquisition were accounted for as transfers between entities under common control. As entities under common control with Delek, we record the assets that Delek has contributed to us on our balance sheet at Delek's historical basis instead of fair value. Transfers between entities under common control are accounted for as if the transfer occurred at the beginning of the period, and prior years are retrospectively adjusted to furnish comparative information. Accordingly, the accompanying financial statements and related notes of the Partnership have been retrospectively adjusted to include (i) the historical results of the El Dorado Terminal and Tank Assets, as owned and operated by Delek, for all periods presented through February 10, 2014 (the "El Dorado Predecessor"), (ii) the historical results of the El Dorado Assets, as owned and operated by Delek, for all periods presented through March 31, 2015 (the "El Dorado Assets Predecessor") and (iii) the historical results of the Tyler Assets, as owned and operated by Delek, for all periods through March 31, 2015 (the "Tyler Assets Predecessor"). The El Dorado Assets Predecessor, together with the Tyler Assets Predecessor, are hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Logistics Assets Predecessor." We refer to the historical results of the El Dorado Predecessor, the El Dorado Assets Predecessor and the Tyler Assets Predecessor collectively as our "Predecessors." See Note 2 for further information regarding the El Dorado Acquisition, the El Dorado Offloading Racks Acquisition and the Tyler Crude Tank Acquisition.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 include the consolidated financial position, results of operations, cash flows and division equity of our Predecessors as appropriate. The financial statements of our Predecessors have been prepared from the separate records maintained by Delek and may not necessarily be indicative of the conditions that would have existed or the results of operations if our Predecessors had been operated as unaffiliated entities. For example, our Predecessors did not record revenues for intercompany terminalling, throughput or storage services.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP") have been condensed or omitted, although management believes that the disclosures herein are adequate to make the financial information presented not misleading. Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP applied on a consistent basis with those of the annual audited financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 (our

6


"Annual Report on Form 10-K"), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on February 26, 2015. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2014 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been included. All significant intercompany transactions and account balances have been eliminated in the consolidation. Such intercompany transactions do not include those with Delek or our general partner. All adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. Operating results for the interim period should not be viewed as representative of results that may be expected for any future interim period or for the full year.

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified in order to conform to the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on net income or shareholders' equity as previously reported.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

2. Acquisitions

Acquisitions from Delek

El Dorado Offloading Racks Acquisition

On March 31, 2015, the Partnership completed the El Dorado Offloading Racks Acquisition and acquired the El Dorado Assets. The purchase price paid for the El Dorado Assets acquired was $42.5 million in cash financed with borrowings under the Partnership's amended and restated senior secured revolving credit facility.

In connection with the El Dorado Offloading Racks Acquisition, the Partnership and Delek entered into (i) an asset purchase agreement, (ii) a third amended and restated omnibus agreement, (iii) a throughput agreement with respect to the El Dorado Assets, (iv) a lease and access agreement, and (v) an amended and restated site services agreement. See Note 14 for additional information regarding certain of these agreements.

Tyler Crude Tank Acquisition

On March 31, 2015, the Partnership completed the Tyler Crude Tank Acquisition and acquired the Tyler Assets, including the Tyler Crude Tank. The purchase price paid for the Tyler Assets was $19.4 million in cash financed with borrowings under the Partnership's amended and restated senior secured revolving credit facility.

El Dorado Acquisition

On February 10, 2014, the Partnership completed the El Dorado Acquisition and acquired the El Dorado Terminal and Tank Assets. The purchase price paid for the assets acquired was approximately $95.9 million in cash.

In connection with the El Dorado Acquisition, the Partnership and Delek entered into (i) an asset purchase agreement, (ii) a second amended and restated omnibus agreement, (iii) a throughput and tankage agreement with respect to the El Dorado Terminal and Tank Assets, (iv) a lease and access agreement, and (v) a site services agreement.

Financial Results of the El Dorado Assets, the Tyler Assets and the El Dorado Terminal and Tank Assets

The acquisitions of the El Dorado Assets, the Tyler Assets and the El Dorado Terminal and Tank Assets, were considered transfers of businesses between entities under common control. Accordingly, the El Dorado Offloading Racks Acquisition, the Tyler Crude Tank Acquisition and the El Dorado Acquisition, were recorded at amounts based on Delek's historical carrying values as of each respective acquisition date, which were $7.6 million as of March 31, 2015, $11.6 million as of March 31, 2015 and $25.2 million as of February 10, 2014, respectively. Our historical financial statements have been retrospectively adjusted to reflect the results of operations, financial position, cash flows and equity attributable to the El Dorado Assets, the Tyler Assets and the El Dorado Terminal and Tank Assets, as if we owned the assets for all periods presented. The results of the El Dorado Terminal are included in the wholesale marketing and terminalling segment, and the results of the El Dorado Assets, the Tyler Assets and the El Dorado Tank Assets, are included in the pipelines and transportation segment.

The results of the El Dorado Assets' and the Tyler Assets' operations prior to the completion of the El Dorado Offloading Racks Acquisition and the Tyler Crude Tank Acquisition on March 31, 2015 have been included in the El Dorado Assets Predecessor results and the Tyler Assets Predecessor results in the tables below. The results of the El Dorado Terminal and Tank Assets' operations prior to the completion of the El Dorado Acquisition on February 10, 2014 have been included in the El Dorado Predecessor results in the tables below. The results of the El Dorado Terminal and Tank Assets' operations subsequent to February 10, 2014, have been included in the Partnership's results.

The tables on the following pages present our results of operations, the effect of including the results of the Logistics Assets and the El Dorado Terminal and Tank Assets and the adjusted total amounts included in our condensed consolidated financial statements.

(1) There were no revenues or expenses associated with the Tyler Assets Predecessor included in our condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 as the Tyler Assets were not fully constructed and were not placed into service until January 2015.

Acquisitions from Third Parties

Trucking Assets Acquisition

On December 17, 2014, through a new subsidiary, DKL Transportation, LLC, we completed the purchase of substantially all of the assets of Frank Thompson Transport, Inc. ("FTT"), a company that primarily hauled crude oil and asphalt products by transport truck, to complement our existing assets and increase our overall third party business. The assets purchased from FTT include approximately 135 trucks and 205 trailers (the "FTT Assets").

Terminal and Pipeline Acquisition

On October 1, 2014, we completed the purchase from an affiliate of Magellan Midstream Partners, LP of (i) a light products terminal in Mount Pleasant, Texas (the "Mount Pleasant Terminal"), (ii) a light products storage facility in Greenville, Texas (the "Greenville Storage Facility"), (iii) a 76-mile pipeline connecting the locations (the "Greenville-Mount Pleasant Pipeline") and (iv) finished product and other related inventory. The Mount Pleasant Terminal, the Greenville Storage Facility and the Greenville-Mount Pleasant Pipeline are hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Greenville-Mount Pleasant Assets." The Mount Pleasant Terminal consists of approximately 200,000 barrels of light product storage capacity, three truck loading lanes and ethanol blending capability. The Greenville Storage Facility has approximately 325,000 barrels of storage capacity and is connected to the Explorer Pipeline System, which is a common carrier pipeline owned by a third party. We acquired the Greenville-Mount Pleasant Assets to complement our existing assets and provide enhanced logistical capabilities.

4. Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement

We entered into a senior secured revolving credit agreement on November 7, 2012, with Fifth Third Bank, as administrative agent, and a syndicate of lenders. The agreement was amended and restated on July 9, 2013 (the "Amended and Restated Credit Agreement") and was most recently amended and restated on December 30, 2014 (the “Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”). Under the terms of the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the lender commitments were increased from $400.0 million to $700.0 million. The Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement also contains an accordion feature whereby the Partnership can increase the size of the credit facility to an aggregate of $800.0 million, subject to receiving increased or new commitments from lenders and the satisfaction of certain other conditions precedent. The Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement matures on December 30, 2019. While the majority of the terms of the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement are substantially unchanged from the predecessor facility, among other things, changes were made to certain negative covenants, the financial covenants and the interest rate pricing grid. The Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement contains an option for Canadian dollar denominated borrowings.

Borrowings denominated in U.S. dollars bear interest at either a U.S. dollar prime rate, plus an applicable margin, or the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR"), plus an applicable margin, at the election of the borrowers. Borrowings denominated in Canadian dollars bear interest at either a Canadian dollar prime rate, plus an applicable margin, or the Canadian Dealer Offered Rate, plus an applicable margin, at the election of the borrowers. The applicable margin in each case varies based upon the Partnership's most recent leverage ratio calculation delivered to the lenders, as called for and defined under the terms of the credit facility. At June 30, 2015, the weighted average interest rate for our borrowings under the facility was approximately 2.6%. Additionally, the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement requires us to pay a leverage ratio dependent quarterly fee on the average unused revolving commitment. As of June 30, 2015, this fee was 0.4% per year.

The obligations under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement remain secured by first priority liens on substantially all of the Partnership's and its subsidiaries' tangible and intangible assets. Additionally, Delek Marketing & Supply, LLC ("Delek Marketing"), a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Delek, continues to provide a limited guaranty of the Partnership's obligations under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. Delek Marketing's guaranty is (i) limited to an amount equal to the principal amount, plus unpaid and accrued interest, of a promissory note made by Delek US in favor of Delek Marketing (the "Holdings Note"), and (ii) secured by Delek Marketing's pledge of the Holdings Note to our lenders under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. As of June 30, 2015, the principal amount of the Holdings Note was $102.0 million, plus unpaid interest accrued since the issuance date.
As of June 30, 2015, we had approximately $316.9 million of outstanding borrowings under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. Additionally, we had in place letters of credit totaling approximately $5.5 million, primarily securing obligations with respect to gasoline and diesel purchases. No amounts were drawn under these letters of credit at June 30, 2015. Amounts available under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement as of June 30, 2015 were approximately $377.6 million.

5. Income Taxes

For tax purposes, each partner of the Partnership is required to take into account its share of income, gain, loss and deduction in computing its federal and state income tax liabilities, regardless of whether cash distributions are made to such partner by the Partnership. The taxable income reportable to each partner takes into account differences between the tax basis and fair market value of our assets, the acquisition price of such partner's units and the taxable income allocation requirements under our partnership agreement.

6. Net Income Per Unit

We use the two-class method when calculating the net income per unit applicable to limited partners because we have more than one participating class of securities. Our participating securities consist of common units, subordinated units, general partner units and incentive distribution rights ("IDRs"). The two-class method is based on the weighted-average number of common units outstanding during the period. Basic net income per unit applicable to limited partners (including subordinated unitholders) is computed by dividing limited partners’ interest in net income, after deducting our general partner’s 2% interest and incentive distribution rights, by the weighted-average number of outstanding common and subordinated units. Our net income is allocated to our general partner and limited partners in accordance with their respective partnership percentages after giving effect to priority income allocations for incentive distribution rights to our general partner, which is the holder of the incentive distribution rights pursuant to our partnership agreement, which are declared and paid following the close of each quarter.
 

13


Earnings in excess of distributions are allocated to our general partner and limited partners based on their respective ownership interests. Payments made to our unitholders are determined in relation to actual distributions declared and are not based on the net income allocations used in the calculation of net income per unit.

Diluted net income per unit applicable to common limited partners includes the effects of potentially dilutive units on our common units. At present, the only potentially dilutive units outstanding consist of unvested phantom unit awards under the Delek Logistics GP, LLC 2012 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "LTIP"). Basic and diluted net income per unit applicable to subordinated limited partners are the same because there are no potentially dilutive subordinated units outstanding.

Our distributions earned with respect to a given period are declared subsequent to quarter end. Therefore, the table below represents total cash distributions applicable to the period in which the distributions are earned. The expected date of distribution for the distributions earned during the period ended June 30, 2015 is August 14, 2015. The calculation of net income per unit is as follows (dollars in thousands, except per unit amounts):

(1) General partner distributions (including IDRs) consist of the 2% general partner interest and IDRs, which represent the right of the general partner to receive increasing percentages of quarterly distributions of available cash from operating surplus in excess of $0.43125 per unit per quarter. See Note 7 for further discussion related to IDRs.

7. Equity

We had 9,451,589 common limited partner units held by the public outstanding as of June 30, 2015. Additionally, as of June 30, 2015, Delek owned a 59.8% limited partner interest in us, consisting of 2,799,258 common limited partner units and 11,999,258 subordinated limited partner units as well as a 95.6% interest in our general partner, which owns the entire 2.0% general partner interest consisting of 494,900 general partner units. Affiliates own the remaining 4.4% interest in our general partner. In accordance with our partnership agreement, Delek's subordinated units may convert to common units once specified distribution targets and other requirements have been met.

(1) Cash distributions include $61.9 million in cash payments for the El Dorado Offloading Racks Acquisition and the Tyler Crude Tank Acquisition. As an entity under common control with Delek, we record the assets that we acquire from Delek on our balance sheet at Delek's historical book basis instead of fair value. Additionally, any excess of cash paid over the historical book basis of the assets acquired from Delek is recorded within equity. As a result of the El Dorado Offloading Racks Acquisition and the Tyler Crude Tank Acquisition, our equity balance decreased $42.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2015.

Allocations of Net Income

Our partnership agreement contains provisions for the allocation of net income and loss to our unitholders and our general partner. For purposes of maintaining partner capital accounts, the partnership agreement specifies that items of income and loss shall be allocated among the partners in accordance with their respective percentage interests. Normal allocations according to percentage interests are made after giving effect to priority income allocations, if any, in an amount equal to incentive cash distributions allocated 100% to our general partner.

Incentive Distribution Rights

The following table illustrates the percentage allocations of available cash from operating surplus between our unitholders and our general partner based on the specified target distribution levels. The amounts set forth under “Marginal Percentage Interest in Distributions” are the percentage interests of our general partner and our unitholders in any available cash from operating surplus that we distribute up to and including the corresponding amount in the column “Total Quarterly Distribution per Unit Target Amount.” The percentage interests shown for our unitholders and our general partner for the minimum quarterly distribution are also applicable to quarterly distribution amounts that are less than the minimum quarterly distribution. The percentage interests set forth below for our general partner include its 2.0% general partner interest and assume that (i) our general partner has contributed any additional capital necessary to maintain its 2.0% general partner interest, (ii) our general partner has not transferred its incentive distribution rights, and (iii) there are no arrearages on common units.

8. Equity Based Compensation

We incurred $0.1 million and $0.2 million of unit-based compensation expense related to the Partnership during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively, and a nominal amount and $0.1 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively. These amounts are included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income. The fair value of phantom unit awards under the LTIP is determined based on the closing price of our common limited partner units on the grant date. The estimated fair value of our phantom units is amortized over the vesting period using the straight line method. All awards made through June 9, 2015 vest over a five-year service period unless

17



such awards are amended in accordance with the LTIP. Beginning June 10, 2015, all awards made to only non-employee directors vest over a three-year service period unless such awards are amended in accordance with the LTIP. As of June 30, 2015, there was $1.1 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested equity-based compensation arrangements, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.4 years.

9. Equity Method Investments

In March 2015, the Partnership, through its indirect wholly owned subsidiary DKL Caddo, LLC ("DKL Caddo") became a member of Caddo Pipeline, LLC ("CP LLC") by entering into an amended and restated limited liability company agreement (the “Caddo LLC Agreement”) with Plains Pipeline, L.P., an affiliate of Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. ("Plains"). CP LLC was formed to plan, develop, construct, own, operate and maintain a pipeline system and ancillary assets originating near Longview, Texas and extending to Shreveport, Louisiana (the "Caddo Pipeline System"). Pursuant to the terms of the Caddo LLC Agreement, DKL Caddo and Plains each own a 50% membership interest in CP LLC. Pursuant to separate agreements, Plains will have primary responsibility for the construction of the Caddo Pipeline System, and, upon its completion, Plains will also have primary day-to-day responsibility for its operations.

In March 2015, the Partnership, through its indirect wholly owned subsidiary, DKL RIO, LLC ("DKL RIO"), became a member of Rangeland RIO Pipeline, LLC ("Rangeland RIO") by entering into an amended and restated limited liability company agreement (the "Rangeland LLC Agreement") with Rangeland Energy II, LLC ("Rangeland"). Rangeland RIO was formed to develop, construct, operate and maintain a crude oil pipeline extending from Loving County, Texas, to Midland, Texas (the "RIO Pipeline"). Pursuant to the terms of the Rangeland LLC Agreement, DKL RIO owns 33% of Rangeland RIO, and Rangeland owns 67%. Rangeland will have primary day-to-day responsibility for the operations of the RIO Pipeline following completion of its construction.
 
The total projected investment in these two entities is approximately $91.0 million and will be financed through a combination of cash from operations and borrowings under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.  As of June 30, 2015, the investment in these joint ventures totaled $18.5 million and was accounted for using the equity method.

10. Segment Data

We report our assets and operating results in two reportable segments: (i) pipelines and transportation and (ii) wholesale marketing and terminalling:
  
The assets and investments reported in the pipelines and transportation segment provide crude oil gathering, and crude oil, intermediate and finished products transportation and storage services to Delek's refining operations and independent third parties.

The assets in the wholesale marketing and terminalling segment provide marketing and terminalling services to Delek's refining operations and independent third parties.

Our operating segments adhere to the same accounting policies used for our consolidated financial statements. Our operating segments are managed separately because each segment requires different industry knowledge, technology and marketing strategies. Decisions concerning the allocation of resources and assessment of operating performance are made based on this segmentation. Management measures the operating performance of each reportable segment based on segment contribution margin. Segment contribution margin is defined as net sales less cost of sales and operating expenses, excluding depreciation and amortization.

On February 10, 2014 and March 31, 2015, we acquired the El Dorado Terminal and Tank Assets and the Logistics Assets, respectively, from Delek. Our historical financial statements have been retrospectively adjusted to reflect the results of operations attributable to the El Dorado Terminal and Tank Assets and the Logistics Assets as if we owned the assets for all periods presented. The results of the El Dorado Terminal are included in the wholesale marketing and terminalling segment. The results of the El Dorado Tank Assets and the Logistics Assets are included in the pipelines and transportation segment.
