Energy Transfer benefits from a portfolio of assets with exceptional product and geographic diversity. The Partnership’s multiple segments generate high-quality, balanced earnings with no single segment contributing more than one-third of the Partnership’s consolidated Adjusted EBITDA for the three months or full year ended December 31, 2024. The vast majority of the Partnership’s segment margins are fee-based and therefore have limited commodity price sensitivity.
