The shortfall was driven primarily by lower income from equity method investments, which weighed on net income attributable to MPLX, pulling it down to $1.05 billion from $1.18 billion a year ago. Still, the operational picture held up reasonably well, with adjusted EBITDA attributable to MPLX growing to $1.69 billion, supported by stronger rates and throughputs in the Crude Oil and Products Logistics segment. The headline number for investors, however, was the announced $2.38 billion acquisition of Northwind Midstream, a sour gas gathering and processing business in New Mexico's Permian basin that is expected to close in Q3 2025 and be immediately accretive to distributable cash flow. With a leverage ratio of 3.1x well inside its 4.0x comfort level, MPLX is financing both Northwind and its recently completed BANGL pipeline acquisition with debt, as it executes a mid-single digit adjusted EBITDA growth strategy heading into 2026 and beyond.

Key Takeaways

  • Crude Oil and Products Logistics segment adjusted EBITDA increased $39 million YoY driven by higher rates and throughputs
  • 5% year-over-year adjusted EBITDA growth in first half of 2025
  • Pipeline average tariff rates increased 8% YoY to $1.06 per barrel
  • Total pipeline throughput increased 1% YoY to 6,103 mbpd
  • Natural gas processed increased 2% YoY to 9,740 MMcf/d
  • Southwest Operations gathering throughput grew 9% YoY
  • Natural Gas and NGL Services segment adjusted EBITDA essentially flat as equity affiliate growth offset by higher operating expenses and project spending

“The planned acquisition of Northwind Midstream demonstrates progress on our Natural Gas and NGL growth strategies in the Permian basin. In the first half of 2025, operational and commercial performance delivered 5% year-over-year adjusted EBITDA growth. This execution of our mid-single digit growth strategy allows us to reinvest in the business and return capital to unitholders through anticipated annual distribution increases.”
