Executive Summary

Pros & Cons
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Diversified midstream portfolio (storage, transport, sulfur, specialty) | Thin net margins in Q1 due to non‑cash charges and working capital build |
| Strong cash generation history and flexible credit facility | Distribution coverage under pressure in low‑EBITDA quarters |
| Growing specialty & service segments with premium pricing | Commodity price volatility and interest‑rate exposure |
Outlook: Management expects steady demand for Gulf Coast logistics despite tariff and economic uncertainty, with Q2 margins aided by turnaround completion. Distributions may remain flat or modestly increase depending on seasonal cash flow and leverage compliance.
