Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

1. Description of the Business and Basis of Presentation

Description of the Business

MPLX LP is a diversified, large-cap master limited partnership formed by Marathon Petroleum Corporation that owns and operates midstream energy infrastructure and logistics assets, and provides fuels distribution services. References in this report to “MPLX LP,” “MPLX,” “the Partnership,” “we,” “ours,” “us,” or like terms refer to MPLX LP and its subsidiaries. References to “MPC” refer collectively to Marathon Petroleum Corporation as our sponsor and its subsidiaries, other than the Partnership. We are engaged in the gathering, transportation, storage and distribution of crude oil, refined products and other hydrocarbon-based products; the gathering, processing and transportation of natural gas; and the transportation, fractionation, storage and marketing of NGLs. MPLX’s principal executive office is located in Findlay, Ohio.

MPLX’s business consists of two segments based on the nature of services it offers: Logistics and Storage (“L&S”), which relates primarily to crude oil, refined products and other hydrocarbon-based products; and Gathering and Processing (“G&P”), which relates primarily to natural gas and NGLs. See Note 7 for additional information regarding the operations and results of these segments.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements are unaudited; however, in the opinion of MPLX’s management, these statements reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results for the periods reported. All such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature unless otherwise disclosed. These interim consolidated financial statements, including the notes, have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC applicable to interim period financial statements and do not include all of the information and disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Certain information derived from our audited annual financial statements, prepared in accordance with GAAP, has been condensed or omitted from these interim financial statements.

These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

MPLX’s consolidated financial statements include all majority-owned and controlled subsidiaries. For non-wholly owned consolidated subsidiaries, the interests owned by third parties have been recorded as Noncontrolling interests on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. Intercompany investments, accounts and transactions have been eliminated. MPLX’s investments in which MPLX exercises significant influence but does not control and does not have a controlling financial interest are accounted for using the equity method. MPLX’s investments in VIEs in which MPLX exercises significant influence but does not control and is not the primary beneficiary are also accounted for using the equity method.

Certain prior period financial statement amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.

2. Accounting Standards

Recently Adopted

ASU 2021-10, Government Assistance (Topic 832): Disclosures by Business Entities about Government Assistance

In November 2021, the FASB issued guidance requiring disclosures for certain types of government assistance that have been accounted for by analogy to grant or contribution models. Disclosures will include information about the type of transactions, accounting and the impact on financial statements. MPLX prospectively adopted this standard in the first quarter of 2022. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our financial statements or disclosures.

The following table presents MPLX’s equity method investments at the dates indicated:

(1) The investment in MarEn Bakken Company LLC includes our 9.19 percent indirect interest in a joint venture (“Dakota Access”) that owns and operates the Dakota Access Pipeline and Energy Transfer Crude Oil Pipeline projects, collectively referred to as the Bakken Pipeline system or DAPL.

(2) Investments deemed to be VIEs. Some investments included within Other have also been deemed to be VIEs.

For those entities that have been deemed to be VIEs, neither MPLX nor any of its subsidiaries have been deemed to be the primary beneficiary due to voting rights on significant matters. While we have the ability to exercise influence through participation in the management committees which make all significant decisions, we have equal influence over each committee as a joint interest partner and all significant decisions require the consent of the other investors without regard to economic interest; as such, we have determined that these entities should not be consolidated and apply the equity method of accounting with respect to our investments in each entity.

Sherwood Midstream LLC (“Sherwood Midstream”) has been deemed the primary beneficiary of Sherwood Midstream Holdings LLC (“Sherwood Midstream Holdings”) due to its controlling financial interest through its authority to manage the joint venture. As a result, Sherwood Midstream consolidates Sherwood Midstream Holdings. Therefore, MPLX also reports its portion of Sherwood Midstream Holdings’ net assets as a component of its investment in Sherwood Midstream. As of June 30, 2022, MPLX has a 24.55 percent indirect ownership interest in Sherwood Midstream Holdings through Sherwood Midstream.

MPLX’s maximum exposure to loss as a result of its involvement with equity method investments includes its equity investment, any additional capital contribution commitments and any operating expenses incurred by the subsidiary operator in excess of its compensation received for the performance of the operating services. MPLX did not provide any financial support to equity method investments that it was not contractually obligated to provide during the six months ended June 30, 2022.

4. Related Party Agreements and Transactions

MPLX engages in transactions with both MPC and certain of its equity method investments as part of its normal business; however, transactions with MPC make up the majority of MPLX’s related party transactions. Transactions with related parties are further described below.

MPLX has various long-term, fee-based commercial agreements with MPC. Under these agreements, MPLX provides transportation, gathering, terminal, fuels distribution, marketing, storage, management, operational and other services to MPC. MPC has committed to provide MPLX with minimum quarterly throughput volumes on crude oil and refined products, other fees for storage capacity, operating and management fees, as well as reimbursements for certain direct and indirect costs. MPC has also committed to provide a fixed fee for 100 percent of available capacity for boats, barges and third-party chartered equipment under the marine transportation service agreement. MPLX also has a keep-whole commodity agreement with MPC under which MPC pays us a processing fee for NGLs related to keep-whole agreements and delivers shrink gas to the producers on our behalf. We pay MPC a marketing fee in exchange for assuming the commodity risk. Additionally, MPLX has obligations to MPC for services provided to MPLX by MPC under omnibus and employee services-type agreements as well as other agreements.

On June 30, 2022, MPLX and MPC entered into a Master Amendment to Transportation Services Agreements (“Master Amendment”). The Master Amendment extends the term of six transportation services agreements through 2032 and provides

MPLX is party to a loan agreement with MPC Investment LLC (“MPC Investment”) (the “MPC Loan Agreement”). Under the terms of the agreement, MPC Investment extends loans to MPLX on a revolving basis as requested by MPLX and as agreed to by MPC Investment. The borrowing capacity of the MPC Loan Agreement is $1.5 billion aggregate principal amount of all loans outstanding at any one time. The loan agreement is scheduled to expire, and borrowings under the loan agreement are scheduled to mature and become due and payable, on July 31, 2024, provided that MPC Investment may demand payment of all or any portion of the outstanding principal amount of the loan, together with all accrued and unpaid interest and other amounts (if any), at any time prior to maturity. Borrowings under the MPC Loan Agreement bear interest at LIBOR plus 1.25 percent or such lower rate as would be applicable to such loans under the MPLX Credit Agreement as discussed in Note 11.

Activity on the MPC Loan Agreement was as follows:


	Six Months Ended June 30,
(In millions)	2022			2021
Borrowings	$	2,824		$	4,435
Average interest rate of borrowings	1.458		%	1.354		%

Related Party Revenue

Related party sales to MPC primarily consist of crude oil and refined products pipeline and trucking transportation services based on tariff or contracted rates; storage, terminal and fuels distribution services based on contracted rates; and marine transportation services. Related party sales to MPC also consist of revenue related to volume deficiency credits.

MPLX also has operating agreements with MPC under which it receives a fee for operating MPC’s retained pipeline assets and a fixed annual fee for providing oversight and management services required to run the marine business. MPLX also receives management fee revenue for engineering, construction and administrative services for operating certain of its equity method investments. These agreements are classified as Other income - related parties on the Consolidated Statements of Income.

Certain product sales to MPC net to zero within the consolidated financial statements as the transactions are recorded net due to the terms of the agreements under which such product was sold. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, these sales totaled $281 million and $574 million, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, these sales totaled $177 million and $345 million, respectively.

Related Party Expenses

MPC charges MPLX for executive management services and certain general and administrative services to MPLX under the terms of our omnibus agreements (“Omnibus charges”). Omnibus charges included in Rental cost of sales - related parties primarily relate to services that support MPLX’s rental operations and maintenance of assets available for rent, as well as compensation expenses. Omnibus charges included in Purchases - related parties primarily relate to services that support MPLX’s operations and maintenance activities, as well as compensation expenses. Omnibus charges included in General and administrative expenses primarily relate to services that support MPLX’s executive management, accounting and human resources activities. MPLX also obtains employee services from MPC under employee services agreements (“ESA charges”). ESA charges for personnel directly involved in or supporting operations and maintenance activities related to rental services are classified as Rental cost of sales - related parties. ESA charges for personnel directly involved in or supporting operations and maintenance activities related to other services are classified as Purchases - related parties. ESA charges for personnel involved in executive management, accounting and human resources activities are classified as General and administrative expenses. In addition to these agreements, MPLX purchases products from MPC, makes payments to MPC in its capacity as general contractor to MPLX, and has certain lease agreements with MPC.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, General and administrative expenses incurred from MPC totaled $58 million and $113 million, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, General and administrative expenses incurred from MPC totaled $63 million and $120 million, respectively.

Some charges incurred under the omnibus and ESA agreements are related to engineering services and are associated with assets under construction. These charges are added to Property, plant and equipment, net on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, these charges totaled $19 million and $38 million, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, these charges totaled $15 million and $27 million, respectively.

Related Party Assets and Liabilities

Assets and liabilities with related parties appearing on the Consolidated Balance Sheets are detailed in the table below. This table identifies the various components of related party assets and liabilities, including those associated with leases and deferred revenue on minimum volume commitments. If MPC fails to meet its minimum committed volumes, MPC will pay MPLX a deficiency payment based on the terms of the agreement. The deficiency amounts received under these agreements (excluding payments received under agreements classified as sales-type leases) are recorded as Current liabilities - related parties. In many cases, MPC may then apply the amount of any such deficiency payments as a credit for volumes in excess of its minimum volume commitment in future periods under the terms of the applicable agreements. MPLX recognizes related party revenues for the deficiency payments when credits are used for volumes in excess of minimum quarterly volume commitments, where it is probable the customer will not use the credit in future periods or upon the expiration of the credits. The use or expiration of the credits is a decrease in Current liabilities - related parties. Deficiency payments under agreements that have been classified as sales-type leases are recorded as a reduction against the corresponding lease receivable. In addition, capital projects MPLX undertakes at the request of MPC are reimbursed in cash and recognized as revenue over the remaining term of the applicable agreements or in some cases, as a contribution from MPC.

Unit Repurchase Program

On November 2, 2020, MPLX announced the board authorization of a unit repurchase program for the repurchase of up to $1 billion of MPLX’s outstanding common units held by the public.

Total unit repurchases were as follows for the respective periods:


	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
(In millions, except per unit data)	2022		2021		2022		2021
Number of common units repurchased	1		6		4		12

Average cost per unit	$	33.74	$	27.40	$	32.48	$	26.02

As of June 30, 2022, we had $202 million remaining under the existing unit repurchase authorization. On August 2, 2022, MPLX announced the board of directors approved an incremental $1 billion unit repurchase authorization. The unit repurchase authorizations have no expiration date. We may utilize various methods to effect the repurchases, which could include open market repurchases, negotiated block transactions, accelerated unit repurchases, tender offers or open market solicitations for units, some of which may be effected through Rule 10b5-1 plans. The timing of repurchases will depend upon several factors, including market and business conditions, and repurchases may be discontinued at any time.

Series B Preferred Units

MPLX has 600,000 outstanding units of 6.875 percent Fixed-to-Floating Rate Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Units representing limited partner interests of MPLX with a price to the public of $1,000 per unit (the “Series B preferred units”). The Series B preferred units are pari passu with the Series A preferred units with respect to distribution rights and rights upon liquidation. Series B preferred unitholders are entitled to receive a fixed distribution of $68.75 per unit, per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on the 15th day, or the first business day thereafter, of February and August of each year up to and including February 15, 2023. After February 15, 2023, the holders of Series B preferred units are entitled to receive cumulative, quarterly distributions payable in arrears on the 15th day of February, May, August and November of each year, or the first business day thereafter, based on a floating annual rate equal to the three-month LIBOR plus 4.652 percent, in each case assuming a distribution is declared by the Board of Directors. MPLX has the right to redeem some or all of the Series B preferred units, at any time, on or after February 15, 2023 at the Series B preferred unit redemption price of $1,000 per unit, plus any accumulated and unpaid distributions up to the redemption date.

Cash distributions

Quarterly distributions for 2022 and 2021 are summarized below:


(Per common unit)	2022		2021
March 31,	$	0.7050	$	0.6875
June 30,	0.7050		0.6875

In accordance with the distribution rights discussed above, MPLX will make a cash distribution totaling $21 million to Series B unitholders on August 15, 2022.

The allocation of total quarterly cash distributions to limited and preferred unitholders is as follows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021. Distributions, although earned, are not accrued until declared. MPLX’s distributions are declared subsequent to quarter end; therefore, the following table represents total cash distributions applicable to the period in which the

6. Net Income Per Limited Partner Unit

Net income per unit applicable to common units is computed by dividing net income attributable to MPLX LP less income allocated to participating securities by the weighted average number of common units outstanding.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, MPLX had participating securities consisting of common units, certain equity-based compensation awards, Series A preferred units and Series B preferred units and had dilutive potential common units consisting of certain equity-based compensation awards. Potential common units omitted from the diluted earnings per unit calculation for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 were less than 1 million.

7. Segment Information

MPLX’s chief operating decision maker is the chief executive officer (“CEO”) of its general partner. The CEO reviews MPLX’s discrete financial information, makes operating decisions, assesses financial performance and allocates resources on a type of service basis. MPLX has two reportable segments: L&S and G&P. Each of these segments is organized and managed based upon the nature of the products and services it offers.

•L&S – gathers, transports, stores and distributes crude oil, refined products, and other hydrocarbon-based products. Also includes the operation of refining logistics, fuels distribution and inland marine businesses, terminals, rail facilities, and storage caverns.

•G&P – gathers, processes and transports natural gas; and transports, fractionates, stores and markets NGLs.

Our CEO evaluates the performance of our segments using Segment Adjusted EBITDA. Amounts included in net income and excluded from Segment Adjusted EBITDA include: (i) depreciation and amortization; (ii) interest and other financial costs; (iii) impairment expense; (iv) income/(loss) from equity method investments; (v) distributions and adjustments related to equity method investments; (vi) noncontrolling interests; and (vii) other adjustments as deemed necessary. These items are either: (i) believed to be non-recurring in nature; (ii) not believed to be allocable or controlled by the segment; or (iii) are not tied to the operational performance of the segment. Assets by segment are not a measure used to assess the performance of the Partnership by our CEO and thus are not reported in our disclosures.

(1) Includes property, plant and equipment impairment charges recorded in the second quarter of 2021, as discussed below.

Long-lived assets used in operations are assessed for impairment whenever changes in facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable based on the expected undiscounted future cash flow of an asset group. For purposes of impairment evaluation, long-lived assets must be grouped at the lowest level for which independent cash flows can be identified, which is at least at the segment level and in some cases for similar assets in the same geographic region where cash flows can be separately identified. If the sum of the undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying value of an asset group, fair value is calculated, and the carrying value is written down if greater than the calculated fair value.

In the second quarter of 2021, we recognized impairment expense of $42 million within our G&P segment related to our continued emphasis on portfolio optimization with the divestiture of several non-core assets and the closure of other non-core assets.

9. Fair Value Measurements

Fair Values – Recurring

Fair value measurements and disclosures relate primarily to MPLX’s derivative positions as discussed in Note 10.

Level 3 instruments relate to an embedded derivative liability for a natural gas purchase commitment embedded in a keep-whole processing agreement. The fair value calculation for these Level 3 instruments used significant unobservable inputs including: (1) NGL prices interpolated and extrapolated due to inactive markets ranging from $0.72 to $1.98 per gallon with a weighted average of $0.98 per gallon and (2) the probability of renewal of 100 percent for the five-year renewal term of the gas purchase commitment and related keep-whole processing agreement. Increases or decreases in the fractionation spread result in an increase or decrease in the fair value of the embedded derivative liability, respectively. Beyond the embedded derivative discussed above, we had no outstanding commodity derivative contracts as of June 30, 2022 or December 31, 2021.

Changes in Level 3 Fair Value Measurements

The following table is a reconciliation of the net beginning and ending balances recorded for net assets and liabilities classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

Table of Contents

Fair Values – Reported

MPLX’s primary financial instruments are cash and cash equivalents, receivables, receivables from related parties, lease receivables from related parties, accounts payable, payables to related parties and debt. MPLX’s fair value assessment incorporates a variety of considerations, including (1) the duration of the instruments, (2) MPC’s investment-grade credit rating and (3) the historical incurrence of and expected future insignificance of bad debt expense, which includes an evaluation of counterparty credit risk. MPLX believes the carrying values of its current assets and liabilities approximate fair value. The recorded value of the amounts outstanding under the bank revolving credit facility, if any, approximates fair value due to the variable interest rate that approximates current market rates. Derivative instruments are recorded at fair value, based on available market information (see Note 10).

The fair value of MPLX’s debt is estimated based on recent market non-binding indicative quotes. The debt fair values are considered Level 3 measurements. The following table summarizes the fair value and carrying value of our third-party debt, excluding finance leases and unamortized debt issuance costs:


	June 30, 2022				December 31, 2021
(In millions)	Fair Value		Carrying Value		Fair Value		Carrying Value
Outstanding debt(1)	$	18,604	$	19,881	$	20,779	$	18,664

(1) Amounts outstanding under the MPC Loan Agreement are not included in the table above, as the carrying value approximates fair value. This balance is reflected in Current liabilities - related parties on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

10. Derivative Financial Instruments

As of June 30, 2022, MPLX had no commodity contracts beyond the embedded derivative discussed below.

Embedded Derivative - MPLX has a natural gas purchase commitment embedded in a keep-whole processing agreement with a producer customer in the Southern Appalachian region expiring in December 2027. The customer has the unilateral option to extend the agreement for one five-year term through December 2032. For accounting purposes, the natural gas purchase commitment and the term extending option have been aggregated into a single compound embedded derivative. The probability of the customer exercising its option is determined based on assumptions about the customer’s potential business strategy decision points that may exist at the time they would elect whether to renew the contract. The changes in fair value of this compound embedded derivative are based on the difference between the contractual and index pricing, the probability of the producer customer exercising its option to extend and the estimated favorability of these contracts compared to current market conditions. The changes in fair value are recorded in earnings through Purchased product costs on the Consolidated Statements of Income. For further information regarding the fair value measurement of derivative instruments, see Note 9. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the estimated fair value of this contract was a liability of $92 million and $108 million, respectively.

Certain derivative positions are subject to master netting agreements, therefore, MPLX has elected to offset derivative assets and liabilities that are legally permissible to be offset. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were no derivative assets or liabilities that were offset on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The impact of MPLX’s derivative instruments on its Consolidated Balance Sheets is summarized below:


(In millions)	June 30, 2022				December 31, 2021
Derivative contracts not designated as hedging instruments and their balance sheet location	Asset		Liability		Asset		Liability
Commodity contracts
Other current assets / Other current liabilities	$	—	$	(14)	$	—	$	(15)
Other noncurrent assets / Other long-term liabilities	—		(78)		—		(93)
Total	$	—	$	(92)	$	—	$	(108)

We make a distinction between realized or unrealized gains and losses on derivatives. During the period when a derivative contract is outstanding, changes in the fair value of the derivative are recorded as an unrealized gain or loss. When a derivative contract matures or is settled, the previously recorded unrealized gain or loss is reversed and the realized gain or loss of the contract is recorded.

Credit Agreement

On July 7, 2022, MPLX entered into a new five-year credit agreement (the “New MPLX Credit Agreement”) to replace the previous $3.5 billion credit facility that was scheduled to expire July 2024. The New MPLX Credit Agreement, among other things, provides for a $2 billion unsecured revolving credit facility that matures in July 2027. The New MPLX Credit Agreement provides for letter of credit issuing capacity under the facility of $150 million. Letter of credit issuing capacity is included in, not in addition to, the $2 billion borrowing capacity of the New MPLX Credit Agreement. The financial covenants of the New MPLX Credit Agreement are substantially the same as those contained in the previous credit agreement. Borrowings under the New MPLX Credit Agreement bear interest, at MPLX’s election, at either the Adjusted Term SOFR or the Alternate Base Rate, both as defined in the New MPLX Credit Agreement, plus an applicable margin.

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, MPLX borrowed $900 million under the MPLX Credit Agreement, at an average interest rate of 1.454 percent, and repaid $1,200 million. At June 30, 2022, MPLX had no outstanding borrowings and less than $1 million in letters of credit outstanding under the MPLX Credit Agreement, resulting in total availability of approximately $3.5 billion.

Fixed Rate Senior Notes

MPLX’s senior notes, including those issued by consolidated subsidiaries, consist of various series of senior notes maturing between 2022 and 2058 with interest rates ranging from 1.750 percent to 5.500 percent. Interest on each series of notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on various dates depending on the series of the notes.

On March 14, 2022, MPLX issued $1.5 billion aggregate principal amount of 4.950 percent senior notes due March 2052 (the “2052 Senior Notes”) in an underwritten public offering. The 2052 Senior Notes were offered at a price to the public of 98.982 percent with interest payable semi-annually in arrears, commencing on September 14, 2022. The net proceeds were used to repay amounts outstanding under the intercompany loan agreement with MPC and the MPLX revolving credit facility.

Contract Balances

Contract assets typically relate to deficiency payments related to minimum volume commitments and aid in construction agreements where the revenue recognized and MPLX’s rights to consideration for work completed exceeds the amount billed to the customer. Contract assets are included in Other current assets and Other noncurrent assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Contract liabilities, which we refer to as Deferred revenue and Long-term deferred revenue, typically relate to advance payments for aid in construction agreements and deferred customer credits associated with makeup rights and minimum volume commitments. Related to minimum volume commitments, breakage is estimated and recognized into service revenue in instances where it is probable the customer will not use the credit in future periods. We classify contract liabilities as current or long-term based on the timing of when we expect to recognize revenue.

Receivables, net primarily relate to our commodity sales. Portions of the Receivables, net balance are attributed to the sale of commodity product controlled by MPLX prior to sale while a significant portion of the balance relates to the sale of commodity product on behalf of our producer customers. The sales and related Receivables, net are commingled and excluded from the table below. MPLX remits the net sales price back to our producer customers upon completion of the sale. Each period end, certain amounts within accounts payable relate to our payments to producer customers. Such amounts are not deemed material at period end as a result of when we settle with each producer.

The tables below reflect the changes in ASC 606 contract balances of each respective line, for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2022 and 2021:

(1) No significant revenue was recognized related to past performance obligations in the current periods.

Remaining Performance Obligations

The table below includes estimated revenue expected to be recognized in the future related to performance obligations that are unsatisfied (or partially unsatisfied) at the end of the reporting period.

As of June 30, 2022, unsatisfied performance obligations included on the Consolidated Balance Sheets are $293 million and will be recognized as revenue as the obligations are satisfied, which is expected to occur over the next 22 years. A portion of this amount is not disclosed in the table below as it is deemed variable consideration due to volume variability.

(1) All fixed consideration from contracts with customers is included in the amounts presented above. Variable consideration that is constrained or not required to be estimated as it reflects our efforts to perform is excluded.

(2) Arrangements deemed implicit leases and sales-type leases are excluded from this table.

(3) Only minimum volume commitments that are deemed fixed are included in the table above. MPLX has various minimum volume commitments in processing arrangements that vary based on the actual Btu content of the gas received. These amounts are deemed variable consideration and are excluded from the table above.

We do not disclose information on the future performance obligations for any contract with an original expected duration of one year or less.

See Note 4 for additional information on where related party lease assets are recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Capital expenditures related to assets subject to sales-type lease arrangements were $18 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, these amounts are reflected as Additions to property, plant and equipment on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, third party lease assets are less than $1 million and are included within the Receivables, net and Other noncurrent assets captions within the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

During the second quarter of 2021, reimbursements for projects and changes to minimum volume commitments at certain L&S locations were agreed to between MPLX and MPC. These reimbursements and minimum volume commitments relate to the storage, transportation and terminal services agreements between MPLX and MPC at these locations and required the embedded leases within these agreements to be reassessed under ASC 842. As a result of the reassessment, certain leases were reclassified from an operating lease to a sales-type lease. Accordingly, the underlying assets previously shown on the Consolidated Balance Sheets associated with the sales-type leases were derecognized and the net investment in the lease (i.e., the sum of the present value of the future lease payments and the unguaranteed residual value of the assets) was recorded as a lease receivable during the respective periods. See Note 4 for the location of lease receivables and unguaranteed residual assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The difference between the net book value of the underlying assets and the net investment in the lease has been recorded as a Contribution from MPC in the Consolidated Statements of Equity given the impacted storage and terminal services agreements are related to a common control transaction. During the second quarter of 2021, MPLX derecognized approximately $421 million of property, plant and equipment, recorded a lease receivable of approximately $519 million, recorded an unguaranteed residual asset of approximately $14 million with the difference recorded as a deemed Contribution from MPC of $112 million.

15. Commitments and Contingencies

MPLX is the subject of, or a party to, a number of pending or threatened legal actions, contingencies and commitments involving a variety of matters, including laws and regulations relating to the environment. Some of these matters are discussed below. For matters for which MPLX has not recorded a liability, MPLX is unable to estimate a range of possible loss because the issues involved have not been fully developed through pleadings, discovery or court proceedings. However, the ultimate resolution of some of these contingencies could, individually or in the aggregate, be material.

Table of Contents

Environmental Matters

MPLX is subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to the environment. These laws generally provide for control of pollutants released into the environment and require responsible parties to undertake remediation of hazardous waste disposal sites. Penalties may be imposed for non-compliance.

At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, accrued liabilities for remediation totaled $27 million and $23 million, respectively. It is not presently possible to estimate the ultimate amount of all remediation costs that might be incurred or the penalties, if any, that may be imposed.

MPLX is involved in environmental enforcement matters arising in the ordinary course of business. While the outcome and impact to MPLX cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes the resolution of these environmental matters will not, individually or collectively, have a material adverse effect on its consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Guarantees

Over the years, MPLX has sold various assets in the normal course of its business. Certain of the related agreements contain performance and general guarantees, including guarantees regarding inaccuracies in representations, warranties, covenants and agreements, and environmental and general indemnifications that require MPLX to perform upon the occurrence of a triggering event or condition. These guarantees and indemnifications are part of the normal course of selling assets. MPLX is typically not able to calculate the maximum potential amount of future payments that could be made under such contractual provisions because of the variability inherent in the guarantees and indemnities. Most often, the nature of the guarantees and indemnities is such that there is no appropriate method for quantifying the exposure because the underlying triggering event has little or no past experience upon which a reasonable prediction of the outcome can be based.

We hold a 9.19 percent indirect interest in a joint venture (“Dakota Access”) that owns and operates the Dakota Access Pipeline and Energy Transfer Crude Oil Pipeline projects, collectively referred to as the Bakken Pipeline system or DAPL. In 2020, the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia (the “D.D.C.”) ordered the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (“Army Corps”), which granted permits and an easement for the Bakken Pipeline system, to prepare an environmental impact statement (“EIS”) relating to an easement under Lake Oahe in North Dakota. The D.D.C. later vacated the easement. Completion of the EIS may now be delayed as the Army Corps engages with the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe on the tribe’s reasons for withdrawing as a cooperating agency with respect to preparation of the EIS.

In May 2021, the D.D.C. denied a renewed request for an injunction to shut down the pipeline while the EIS is being prepared. In June 2021, the D.D.C. issued an order dismissing without prejudice the tribes’ claims against the Dakota Access Pipeline. The litigation could be reopened or new litigation challenging the EIS, once completed, could be filed. The pipeline remains operational.

We have entered into a Contingent Equity Contribution Agreement whereby MPLX LP, along with the other joint venture owners in the Bakken Pipeline system, has agreed to make equity contributions to the joint venture upon certain events occurring to allow the entities that own and operate the Bakken Pipeline system to satisfy their senior note payment obligations. The senior notes were issued to repay amounts owed by the pipeline companies to fund the cost of construction of the Bakken Pipeline system. If the pipeline were temporarily shut down, MPLX would have to contribute its 9.19 percent pro rata share of funds required to pay interest accruing on the notes and any portion of the principal that matures while the pipeline is shutdown. MPLX also expects to contribute its 9.19 percent pro rata share of any costs to remediate any deficiencies to reinstate the permit and/or return the pipeline into operation. If the vacatur of the easement permit results in a permanent shutdown of the pipeline, MPLX would have to contribute its 9.19 percent pro rata share of the cost to redeem the bonds (including the one percent redemption premium required pursuant to the indenture governing the notes) and any accrued and unpaid interest. As of June 30, 2022, our maximum potential undiscounted payments under the Contingent Equity Contribution Agreement were approximately $170 million.

Other Legal Proceedings

In July 2020, Tesoro High Plains Pipeline Company, LLC (“THPP”), a subsidiary of MPLX, received a Notification of Trespass Determination from the Bureau of Indian Affairs (“BIA”) relating to a portion of the Tesoro High Plains Pipeline that crosses the Fort Berthold Reservation in North Dakota. The notification demanded the immediate cessation of pipeline operations and assessed trespass damages of approximately $187 million. On appeal, the Assistant Secretary - Indian Affairs issued an order vacating the BIA’s trespass order and remanded to the Regional Director for the BIA Great Plains Region to issue a new decision based on specific criteria. On December 15, 2020, the Regional Director of the BIA issued a new trespass notice to THPP, finding that THPP was in trespass and assessing trespass damages of approximately $4 million (including interest), which has been paid. The order also required that THPP immediately cease and desist use of the portion of the pipeline that crosses the property at issue. THPP has complied with the Regional Director’s December 15, 2020 notice. In March 2021, THPP received a copy of an order purporting to vacate all orders related to THPP’s alleged trespass issued by the BIA between July 2, 2020 and January 14, 2021. The order directs the Regional Director of the BIA to reconsider the issue of THPP’s alleged trespass and issue a new

Table of Contents

order, if necessary, after all interested parties have had an opportunity to be heard. Subsequently, landowners voluntarily dismissed the suit filed in the District of North Dakota. On April 23, 2021, THPP filed a lawsuit in the District of North Dakota against the United States of America, the U.S. Department of the Interior and the BIA (together, the “U.S. Government Parties”) challenging the March order purporting to vacate all previous orders related to THPP’s alleged trespass.

On February 8, 2022, the U.S. Government Parties filed their answer to THPP’s suit, asserting counterclaims for trespass and ejectment. The U.S. Government Parties claim THPP is in continued trespass with respect to the pipeline and seek disgorgement of pipeline profits from June 1, 2013 to present, removal of the pipeline and remediation. We intend to vigorously defend ourselves against these counterclaims. We continue to work towards a settlement of this matter with holders of the property rights at issue.

MPLX is also a party to a number of other lawsuits and other proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. While the ultimate outcome and impact to MPLX cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes the resolution of these other lawsuits and proceedings will not, individually or collectively, have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Contractual Commitments and Contingencies

From time to time and in the ordinary course of business, MPLX and its affiliates provide guarantees of MPLX’s subsidiaries payment and performance obligations in the G&P segment. Certain natural gas processing and gathering arrangements require MPLX to construct new natural gas processing plants, natural gas gathering pipelines and NGL pipelines and contain certain fees and charges if specified construction milestones are not achieved for reasons other than force majeure. In certain cases, certain producers may have the right to cancel the processing arrangements if there are significant delays that are not due to force majeure. As of June 30, 2022, management does not believe there are any indications that MPLX will not be able to meet the construction milestones, that force majeure does not apply or that such fees and charges will otherwise be triggered.

MPLX Overview

We are a diversified, large-cap MLP formed by MPC, that owns and operates midstream energy infrastructure and logistics assets, and provides fuels distribution services. The business consists of two segments based on the nature of services it offers:

Table of Contents

Logistics and Storage (“L&S”), and Gathering and Processing (“G&P”). The L&S segment is engaged in the gathering, transportation, storage and distribution of crude oil, refined products and other hydrocarbon-based products. The L&S segment also includes the operation of our refining logistics, fuels distribution and inland marine businesses, terminals, rail facilities and storage caverns. The G&P segment provides gathering, processing and transportation of natural gas; and the transportation, fractionation, storage and marketing of NGLs.

Significant Financial and Other Highlights

Significant financial highlights including revenues and other income, income from operations, net income, adjusted EBITDA attributable to MPLX and DCF attributable to GP and LP unitholders for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021 are shown in the chart below. See the Non-GAAP Financial Information section below for the definitions of Adjusted EBITDA and DCF and the Results of Operations section for further details regarding changes in these metrics.

Other Highlights

•Generated net cash provided by operating activities of $1,487 million and free cash flow after distributions of $614 million in the second quarter of 2022.

•Announced a second quarter 2022 distribution of $0.7050 per common unit, resulting in a distribution coverage ratio of 1.69x for the second quarter.

•Returned $35 million and $135 million of cash to unitholders in the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, through the repurchase of common units under our unit repurchase program. We repurchased 1,037,434 and 4,156,956 common units during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. As of June 30, 2022, we had $202 million remaining under the existing unit repurchase authorization.

•On August 2, 2022, MPLX announced the board of directors approved an incremental $1 billion unit repurchase authorization. The authorization has no expiration date.

•Renewed transportation service contracts with MPC, which were set to expire in 2022, extending the term by 10 years.

Current Economic Environment

Through the first six months of 2022, we continue to see recovery in the environment in which our business operates. The increase in global demand for refined products and global commodity supply constraints have contributed to improved throughputs and higher natural gas and NGL prices. We are unable to predict the potential effects that resurgences of COVID-19 or the continuance or escalation of the military conflict between Russia and Ukraine, and related sanctions, may have on our financial position and results. It remains uncertain how long these conditions may last or how severe they may become.

In 2022, data indicates a sharp rise in inflation in the U.S. and globally. Current and future inflationary effects may be driven by, among other things, supply chain disruptions, governmental stimulus or fiscal policies and increasing demand for certain goods and services as recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic continues. We have observed higher costs for labor and materials used in our business. We cannot predict the effect of higher inflation and fuel prices on demand for our products and services.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

Our management uses a variety of financial and operating metrics to analyze our performance. These metrics are significant factors in assessing our operating results and profitability and include the non-GAAP financial measures of Adjusted EBITDA, DCF, free cash flow (“FCF”) and free cash flow after distributions. The amount of Adjusted EBITDA and DCF generated is considered by the board of directors of our general partner in approving MPLX’s cash distributions. Management also utilizes Segment Adjusted EBITDA in evaluating the financial performance of our segments. The use of this measure allows investors to understand how management evaluates financial performance to make operating decisions and allocate resources.

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income adjusted for: (i) depreciation and amortization; (ii) provision/(benefit) for income taxes; (iii) interest and other financial costs; (iv) impairment expense; (v) income from equity method investments; (vi) distributions and adjustments related to equity method investments; (vii) noncontrolling interests; and (viii) other adjustments as deemed necessary. We also use DCF, which we define as Adjusted EBITDA adjusted for: (i) deferred revenue impacts; (ii) sales-type lease payments, net of income; (iii) net interest and other financial costs; (iv) net maintenance capital expenditures; (v) equity method investment capital expenditures paid out; and (vi) other adjustments as deemed necessary. Segment Adjusted EBITDA represents Adjusted EBITDA attributable to the reportable segments.

We define FCF as net cash provided by operating activities adjusted for (i) net cash used in investing activities; (ii) cash contributions from MPC; (iii) cash contributions from noncontrolling interests and (iv) cash distributions to noncontrolling interests. We define free cash flow after distributions as FCF less base distributions to common and preferred unitholders.

We believe that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA, DCF, FCF and free cash flow after distributions provides useful information to investors in assessing our financial condition and results of operations. The GAAP measures most directly comparable to Adjusted EBITDA and DCF are net income and net cash provided by operating activities while the GAAP measure most directly comparable to FCF and free cash flow after distributions is net cash provided by operating activities. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered alternatives to GAAP net income or net cash provided by operating activities as they have important limitations as analytical tools because they exclude some but not all items that affect net income and net cash provided by operating activities or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Additionally, because non-GAAP financial measures may be defined differently by other companies in our industry, our definitions may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing their utility. For a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA and DCF to their most directly comparable measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, see the Results of Operations section. For a reconciliation of FCF and free cash flow after distributions to their most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, see the Liquidity and Capital resources section.

Comparability of our Financial Results

During the normal course of business, we amend or modify our contractual agreements with customers. These amendments or modifications require the agreements to be reassessed under ASC 842, which can impact the classification of revenues or costs associated with the agreement. These reassessments may impact the comparability of our financial results.

Three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to three months ended June 30, 2021

Total revenues and other income increased $545 million in the second quarter of 2022 compared to the same period of 2021. This was primarily due to higher prices and volumes in most regions in the G&P segment of approximately $466 million. There were also increased revenue from terminal activities and fee escalations, as well as higher income from equity method investments.

Cost of revenues increased $30 million in the second quarter of 2022 compared to the same period of 2021. This was primarily due to higher spending driven by the timing of expense projects and higher operating costs.

Purchased product costs increased $325 million in the second quarter of 2022 compared to the same period of 2021 This was primarily due to higher prices of $287 million in the Southwest and Southern Appalachia and higher volumes in the Southwest, partially offset by a decrease of $43 million due to changes in the fair value of our embedded derivative.

Rental cost of sales and rental cost of sales - related parties increased $6 million in the second quarter of 2022 compared to the same period of 2021. This was primarily due to higher operating costs and repairs and maintenance costs in the Marcellus and to modifications to lease contracts which resulted in a greater portion of costs being recorded to purchases - related parties, as noted below.

Purchases - related parties increased $54 million in the second quarter of 2022 compared to the same period of 2021. This was primarily due to modifications to lease contracts which resulted in a greater portion of costs now being recorded to purchases - related parties as opposed to rental cost of sales - related parties costs, as noted above, as well as to increased transportation, employee, and project-related costs.

Six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to six months ended June 30, 2021

Total revenues and other income increased $816 million in the first six months of 2022 compared to the same period of 2021. This was primarily due to higher prices and volumes in most regions in the G&P segment of approximately $697 million. There were also increased pipeline fees in the L&S segment due to higher pipeline throughput outweighing decreased average tariff rates, increased revenue from terminal activities, increased revenue from the recognition of volume deficiency credits, as well as a $74 million increase in income from equity method investments. These increases were partially offset by a loss on disposal of assets.

Cost of revenues increased $44 million in the first six months of 2022 compared to the same period of 2021. This was primarily due to increased operating costs driven by the timing of expense projects and higher environmental response and remediation costs. Additionally, higher repairs and maintenance costs in the Marcellus and Rockies were partially offset by lower costs in the Southwest.

Purchased product costs increased $516 million in the first six months of 2022 compared to the same period of 2021. This was primarily due to higher prices of $430 million in the Southwest and Southern Appalachia and higher volumes in the Southwest, partially offset by a decrease of $55 million due to changes in the fair value of our embedded derivative.

Rental cost of sales and rental cost of sales - related parties decreased $13 million in the first six months of 2022 compared to the same period of 2021. This was primarily due to modifications to lease contracts which resulted in costs now being recorded to purchases - related parties, as noted below, as opposed to rental cost of sales - related parties. The decreases were partially offset by increased miscellaneous expenses as well as higher operating costs and repairs and maintenance costs in the Marcellus.

Purchases - related parties increased $75 million in the first six months of 2022 compared to the same period of 2021. This was primarily due to modifications to lease contracts which resulted in costs now being recorded to purchases - related parties as opposed to rental cost of sales - related parties, as noted above. There were also increased transportation costs and other miscellaneous increases. These increases were partially offset by decreased employee-related costs from MPC.

Depreciation and amortization decreased $24 million in the first six months of 2022 compared to the same period of 2021. This was primarily due to the prior year derecognition of fixed assets resulting from the modification of certain lease contracts and accelerated depreciation on refining logistics assets at MPC’s idled Gallup refinery.

Three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to three months ended June 30, 2021

Service revenue increased $18 million in the second quarter of 2022 compared to the same period of 2021. This was primarily driven by higher revenue recognized from increased revenue from terminal activities and annual fee escalations. These increases were partially offset by a net decrease in pipeline transportation fees due to lower tariff rates outweighing higher throughput volumes as well as a net decrease of $15 million from changes in the presentation of revenue between service revenue, rental income and sales-type lease revenue driven by modifications to agreements with MPC.

Rental income increased $32 million in the second quarter of 2022 compared to the same period of 2021. This was primarily due to a net increase of $36 million from changes in the presentation of revenue between service revenue, rental income and sales-type lease revenue driven by modifications to agreements with MPC. Annual fee escalations also contributed to the increase.

Sales-type lease revenue - related parties decreased $22 million in the second quarter of 2022 compared to the same period of 2021. This was primarily due to a decrease of $21 million from changes in the presentation of revenue between service revenue, rental income and sales-type lease revenue as a result of modifications to agreements with MPC.

Income from equity methods investments increased $24 million in the second quarter of 2022 compared to the same period of 2021. This was primarily due to increased throughput on equity method investment pipeline systems, including the Whistler pipeline which was placed into service in the third quarter of 2021.

Cost of revenues increased $16 million in the second quarter of 2022 compared to the same period of 2021. This was primarily due to higher project-related costs. The increases were partially offset by modifications to lease contracts which resulted in a greater portion of costs being recorded to purchases - related parties, as noted below.

Purchases - related parties increased $30 million in the second quarter of 2022 compared to the same period of 2021. This was primarily due to modifications to lease contracts which resulted in a greater portion of costs now being recorded to purchases - related parties as opposed to rental cost of sales - related parties, which is included in cost of revenues as noted above, as well as to increased project-related costs.

Six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to six months ended June 30, 2021

Service revenue increased $48 million in the first six months of 2022 compared to the same period of 2021. This was primarily due to increased revenue from terminal activities, annual fee escalations, and higher revenue recognized from volume deficiency credits. Additionally, there was a net increase in pipeline fees due to increased throughput outweighing lower average tariff rates.

Rental income decreased $42 million in the first six months of 2022 compared to the same period of 2021. This was due to a net decrease of $52 million from changes in the presentation of lease income between service revenue, rental income and sales-type lease revenue as a result of modifications to lease contracts. The decrease was partially offset by increased storage fees and fee escalations.

Sales-type lease revenue - related parties increased $52 million in the first six months of 2022 compared to the same period of 2021. This was primarily due to an increase of $52 million from changes in the presentation of lease income between service revenue, rental income and sales-type lease revenue driven by modifications of lease contracts.

Income from equity methods investments increased $40 million in the first six months of 2022 compared to the same period of 2021. This was primarily due to increased throughput on equity method investment pipeline systems, including the Whistler pipeline which was placed into service in the third quarter of 2021.

Cost of revenues increased $13 million in the first six months of 2022 compared to the same period of 2021. This was primarily due to higher project-related costs and higher environmental response and remediation costs compared to the first half of 2021. The increases were partially offset by modifications to lease contracts which resulted in costs being recorded to purchases - related parties, as noted below.

Purchases - related parties increased $54 million in the first six months of 2022 compared to the same period of 2021. This was primarily due to modifications to lease contracts which resulted in costs now being recorded to purchases - related parties as opposed to rental cost of sales - related parties, which is included in cost of revenues as noted above.

Three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to three months ended June 30, 2021

Service revenue increased $12 million in the second quarter of 2022 compared to the same period of 2021. This was primarily due to higher fees from higher volumes in the Southwest, an increase due to a 2021 contract modification in the Marcellus resulting in a change in the presentation of the related income from rental income to service revenue.

Table of Contents

Product related revenue increased $453 million in the second quarter of 2022 compared to the same period of 2021. This was primarily due to higher prices in the Southwest, Marcellus, Southern Appalachia and Bakken of approximately $333 million and higher volumes in the Southwest, Rockies, Bakken and Marcellus of $121 million.

Income from equity method investments increased $21 million in the second quarter of 2022 compared to the same period of 2021, primarily due to an impairment recorded in the second quarter of 2021 and higher volumes associated with joint ventures in the Southwest and Utica regions.

Cost of revenues increased $20 million in the second quarter of 2022 compared to the same period of 2021. This increase is attributable to higher operating costs and repairs and maintenance costs in the Marcellus and Rockies.

Purchased product costs increased $325 million in the second quarter of 2022 compared to the same period of 2021. This was primarily due to higher prices of $287 million in the Southwest and Southern Appalachia and higher volumes in the Southwest, partially offset by a decrease of $43 million due to changes in the fair value of our embedded derivative.

Purchases - related parties increased $24 million in the second quarter of 2022 compared to the same period of 2021. This was primarily due to an increase in transportation costs to related parties and an increase in employee related costs with related parties.

Impairment expense decreased $42 million in the second quarter of 2022 compared to the same period of 2021 due to impairments recorded in the second quarter of 2021.

Service revenue decreased $10 million in the first six months of 2022 compared to the same period of 2021. This was primarily due to a decrease in revenue related to cost reimbursements in the Rockies, and lower fees from lower volumes in the Marcellus, partially offset by an increase due to a 2021 contract modification in the Marcellus resulting in a change in the presentation of the related income from rental income to service revenue, and higher fees from higher volumes in the Southwest.

Rental income decreased $10 million in the first six months of 2022 compared to the same period of 2021. This was primarily due to a 2021 contract modification in the Marcellus resulting in a change in the presentation of the related income from rental income to service revenue, partially offset by an increase in cost reimbursement revenue in the Marcellus and Southern Appalachia.

Product related revenue increased $717 million in the first six months of 2022 compared to the same period of 2021. This was primarily due to higher prices in the Southwest, Marcellus, Southern Appalachia and Bakken of approximately $520 million and higher fees from higher volumes in the Southwest, Rockies, Bakken and Marcellus of $208 million.

Income from equity method investments increased $34 million in the first six months of 2022 compared to the same period of 2021, primarily due to higher volumes and rates associated with joint ventures in the Utica, Marcellus and Southwest regions and an impairment recorded in the second quarter of 2021.

Other income decreased $19 million in the first six months of 2022 compared to the same period of 2021 due to a loss on disposal of assets.

Cost of revenues increased $18 million in the first six months of 2022 compared to the same period of 2021. This increase is attributable to higher operating costs and repairs and maintenance costs in the Marcellus and Rockies, partially offset by lower costs in the Southwest.

Purchases - related parties increased $21 million in the first six months of 2022 compared to the same period of 2021, this was primarily due to an increase in transportation costs to related parties and an increase in employee related costs with related parties.

Impairment expense decreased $42 million in the first six months of 2022 compared to the same period of 2021 due to impairments recorded in the second quarter of 2021.

Seasonality

The volume of crude oil and refined products transported and stored utilizing our assets is affected by the level of supply and demand for crude oil and refined products in the markets served directly or indirectly by our assets. The majority of effects of seasonality on the L&S segment’s revenues will be mitigated by our fee-based transportation and storage services agreements with MPC that include minimum volume commitments.

In our G&P segment, we experience minimal impacts from seasonal fluctuations which impact the demand for natural gas and NGLs and the related commodity prices caused by various factors including variations in weather patterns from year to year. We are able to manage the seasonality impacts through the execution of our marketing strategy and via our storage capabilities. Overall, our exposure to the seasonality fluctuations is declining due to our growth in fee-based business.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Flows

Our cash and cash equivalents were $298 million at June 30, 2022 and $13 million at December 31, 2021. The change in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash was due to the factors discussed below. Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, investing activities and financing activities were as follows:


	Six Months Ended June 30,
(In millions)	2022		2021
Net cash provided by (used in):
Operating activities	$	2,612	$	2,489
Investing activities	(411)		(245)
Financing activities	(1,916)		(2,251)
Total	$	285	$	(7)

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $123 million in the first six months of 2022 compared to the first six months of 2021, primarily due to increased net income, higher distributions from equity methods investments and decreased working capital requirements offset by higher income from equity method investments.

Net cash used in investing activities increased $166 million in the first six months of 2022 compared to the first six months of 2021, primarily due to higher capital spending and an increase in contributions to equity method investments, which included the $60 million contribution to our Bakken Pipeline joint venture to fund our share of a debt repayment by the joint venture.

Financing activities were an $1,916 million use of cash in the first six months of 2022 compared to a $2,251 million use of cash in the first six months of 2021. The primary reason for the decrease in the use of cash was due to net debt repayments of $266 million in the first half of 2022 compared to net debt repayments of $453 million in the first half of 2021 as well as $175 million in lower unit repurchases in the first half of 2022 compared to the first half of 2021.

Free Cash Flow

The following table provides a reconciliation of FCF and free cash flow after distributions from net cash provided by operating activities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021.

Debt and Liquidity Overview

As of June 30, 2022, we had $20.1 billion in aggregate principal amount of senior notes outstanding. The increase compared to year-end 2021 resulted from the issuance of the 2052 Senior Notes, as discussed above.

Our intention is to maintain an investment-grade credit profile. As of June 30, 2022, the credit ratings on our senior unsecured debt were at or above investment grade level as follows:


Rating Agency						Rating
Moody’s						Baa2 (stable outlook)
Standard & Poor’s						BBB (stable outlook)
Fitch						BBB (stable outlook)

The ratings reflect the respective views of the rating agencies. Although it is our intention to maintain a credit profile that supports an investment grade rating, there is no assurance that these ratings will continue for any given period of time. The ratings may be revised or withdrawn entirely by the rating agencies if, in their respective judgments, circumstances so warrant.

The New MPLX Credit Agreement contains certain representations and warranties, affirmative and restrictive covenants and events of default that we consider to be usual and customary for an agreement of this type. The financial covenant requires MPLX to maintain a ratio of Consolidated Total Debt as of the end of each fiscal quarter to Consolidated EBITDA (both as defined in the New MPLX Credit Agreement) for the prior four fiscal quarters of no greater than 5.0 to 1.0 (or 5.5 to 1.0 during the six-month period following certain acquisitions). Consolidated EBITDA is subject to adjustments for certain acquisitions completed and capital projects undertaken during the relevant period. Other covenants restrict us and/or certain of our subsidiaries from incurring debt, creating liens on assets and entering into transactions with affiliates. As of June 30, 2022, we were in compliance with the covenants, including the financial covenant with a ratio of Consolidated Total Debt to Consolidated EBITDA of 3.54 to 1.0.

The agreements governing our debt obligations do not contain credit rating triggers that would result in the acceleration of interest, principal or other payments solely in the event that our credit ratings are downgraded. However, any downgrades in the credit ratings of our senior unsecured debt ratings to below investment grade ratings could, among other things, increase the applicable interest rates and other fees payable under the New MPLX Credit Agreement and may limit our ability to obtain future financing, including refinancing existing indebtedness.

Our liquidity totaled $5.3 billion at June 30, 2022 consisting of:


	June 30, 2022
(In millions)	Total Capacity		Outstanding Borrowings		Available Capacity
MPLX Credit Agreement(1)	$	3,500	$	—	$	3,500

MPC Loan Agreement	1,500		—		1,500
Total	$	5,000	$	—	5,000
Cash and cash equivalents					298
Total liquidity					$	5,298

(1) Outstanding borrowings include less than $1 million in letters of credit outstanding under this facility. Our total capacity decreased to $2 billion upon the execution of the New MPLX Credit Agreement on July 7, 2022.

We expect our ongoing sources of liquidity to include cash generated from operations and borrowings under the MPC Loan Agreement, the New MPLX Credit Agreement and access to capital markets. We believe that cash generated from these sources will be sufficient to meet our short-term and long-term funding requirements, including working capital requirements, capital

expenditure requirements, contractual obligations, and quarterly cash distributions. We may also, from time to time, repurchase our senior notes or preferred units in the open market, in tender offers, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise in such volumes, at market prices and upon such other terms as we deem appropriate and execute unit repurchases under our unit repurchase program. MPC manages our cash and cash equivalents on our behalf directly with third-party institutions as part of the treasury services that it provides to us under our omnibus agreement. From time to time, we may also consider utilizing other sources of liquidity, including the formation of joint ventures or sales of non-strategic assets.

Equity and Preferred Units Overview

Common units

The table below summarizes the changes in the number of units outstanding through June 30, 2022:


(In units)															Common Units
Balance at December 31, 2021															1,016,178,378
Unit-based compensation awards															183,478
Units redeemed in unit repurchase program															(4,156,956)

Balance at June 30, 2022															1,012,204,900

Unit Repurchase Program

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we repurchased approximately 4 million common units at an average cost per unit of $32.48 per unit and paid $135 million of cash. As of June 30, 2022, we had repurchased a total of approximately 29 million units at an average cost per unit of $27.97 per unit for a total of $798 million under the unit repurchase program. As of June 30, 2022, we had $202 million remaining under the existing repurchase authorization.

On August 2, 2022, MPLX announced the board of directors approved an incremental $1.0 billion unit repurchase authorization. The authorization has no expiration date. We may utilize various methods to effect the repurchases, which could include open market repurchases, negotiated block transactions, accelerated unit repurchases, tender offers or open market solicitations for units, some of which may be effected through Rule 10b5-1 plans. The timing of repurchases will depend upon several factors, including market and business conditions, and repurchases may be discontinued at any time.

Distributions

We intend to pay a minimum quarterly distribution to the holders of our common units of $0.2625 per unit, or $1.05 per unit on an annualized basis, to the extent we have sufficient cash from our operations after the establishment of cash reserves and the payment of costs and expenses, including reimbursements of expenses to our general partner. The amount of distributions paid under our policy and the decision to make any distributions is determined by our general partner, taking into consideration the terms of our partnership agreement. Such minimum distribution would equate to $266 million per quarter, or $1,063 million per year, based on the number of common units outstanding at June 30, 2022.

On July 26, 2022, MPLX declared a cash distribution for the second quarter of 2022, totaling $714 million, or $0.7050 per common unit. This distribution will be paid on August 12, 2022 to common unitholders of record on August 5, 2022. Although our partnership agreement requires that we distribute all of our available cash each quarter, we do not otherwise have a legal obligation to distribute any particular amount per common unit. This rate will also be received by Series A preferred unitholders.

Series B preferred unitholders are entitled to receive a fixed distribution of $68.75 per unit, per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on February 15 and August 15, or the first business day thereafter, up to and including February 15, 2023. After February 15, 2023, the holders of Series B preferred units are entitled to receive cumulative, quarterly distributions payable in arrears on the 15th day of February, May, August and November of each year, or the first business day thereafter, based on a floating annual rate equal to the three-month LIBOR plus 4.652 percent, in each case assuming a distribution is declared by the board of directors. Accordingly, a cash distribution payment totaling $21 million will be paid to Series B unitholders on August 15, 2022.

MPLX has the right to redeem some or all of the Series B preferred units, at any time, on or after February 15, 2023. MPLX will pay unitholders the Series B preferred unit redemption price of $1,000 per unit plus any accumulated and unpaid distributions up to the redemption date.

The allocation of total cash distributions is as follows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021. MPLX’s distributions are declared subsequent to quarter end; therefore, the following table represents total cash distributions applicable to the period in which the distributions were earned.

Capital Expenditures

Our operations are capital intensive, requiring investments to expand, upgrade, enhance or maintain existing operations and to meet environmental and operational regulations. Our capital requirements consist of maintenance capital expenditures and growth capital expenditures. Examples of maintenance capital expenditures are those made to replace partially or fully depreciated assets, to maintain the existing operating capacity of our assets and to extend their useful lives, or other capital expenditures that are incurred in maintaining existing system volumes and related cash flows. In contrast, growth capital expenditures are those incurred for acquisitions or capital improvements that we expect will increase our operating capacity for volumes gathered, processed, transported or fractionated, decrease operating expenses within our facilities or increase operating income over the long term. Examples of growth capital expenditures include costs to develop or acquire additional pipeline, terminal, processing or storage capacity. In general, growth capital includes costs that are expected to generate additional or new cash flow for MPLX.

MPLX’s initial capital investment plan for 2022, totaled $900 million which includes growth capital of $700 million, maintenance capital of $140 million and a $60 million investment in an unconsolidated affiliate for the repayment of our 9.19 percent indirect share of the Bakken Pipeline joint venture’s debt due in 2022. Growth capital expenditures and investments in affiliates during the six months ended June 30, 2022 were primarily for gas gathering, processing and de-ethanization projects in our Bakken, Marcellus, and Southwest basins and the expansion of our crude gathering systems and long-haul pipeline investments in the Permian and Bakken basins. Spending for the period also included the $60 million contribution to our Bakken Pipeline joint venture to fund our share of a debt repayment by the joint venture. We continuously evaluate our capital plan and make changes as conditions warrant.

Our capital expenditures are shown in the table below:

(3) Maintenance capital reimbursements are included in the Contributions from MPC line within financing activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Contractual Cash Obligations

As of June 30, 2022, our contractual cash obligations included third-party and related party debt, finance and operating lease obligations, purchase obligations for services and to acquire property, plant and equipment, and other liabilities. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, our third-party long-term debt obligations increased by $1.2 billion, primarily due to the issuance of the $1.5 billion aggregate principal amount of 4.950 percent 2052 Senior Notes, discussed above. A portion of the issuance was used to repay amounts outstanding on the MPLX Credit Agreement. There were no other material changes to our contractual obligations outside the ordinary course of business since December 31, 2021.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Off-balance sheet arrangements comprise those arrangements that may potentially impact our liquidity, capital resources and results of operations, even though such arrangements are not recorded as liabilities under U.S. GAAP. Our off-balance sheet arrangements are limited to indemnities and guarantees that are described in Note 15. Although these arrangements serve a variety of our business purposes, we are not dependent on them to maintain our liquidity and capital resources, and we are not aware of any circumstances that are reasonably likely to cause the off-balance sheet arrangements to have a material adverse effect on our liquidity and capital resources.

Transactions with Related Parties

At June 30, 2022, MPC owned our non-economic general partnership interest and held approximately 64 percent of our outstanding common units.

We provide MPC with crude oil and product pipeline and trucking transportation services based on regulated tariff/contracted rates, as well as storage, terminal, fuels distribution, and inland marine transportation services based on contracted rates. We also have agreements with MPC under which we receive fees for operating MPC’s retained pipeline assets, providing management services for the marine business, and operating certain of MPC’s equity method investments. MPC provides us with certain services related to information technology, engineering, legal, accounting, treasury, human resources and other administrative services under employee services and omnibus services agreements.

The below table shows the percentage of Total revenues and other income as well as Total costs and expenses with MPC:


	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2022		2021		2022		2021
Total revenues and other income	45	%	47	%	46	%	52	%
Total costs and expenses(1)	23	%	27	%	24	%	28	%

(1) 2021 periods exclude losses for impairment.

For further discussion of agreements and activity with MPC and related parties see Item 1. Business in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 and Note 4 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this report.

Environmental Matters and Compliance Costs

We have incurred and may continue to incur substantial capital, operating and maintenance, and remediation expenditures as a result of environmental laws and regulations. If these expenditures, as with all costs, are not ultimately reflected in the prices of our products and services, our operating results will be adversely affected. We believe that substantially all of our competitors must comply with similar environmental laws and regulations. However, the specific impact on each competitor may vary depending on a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the age and location of its operating facilities.

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, environmental remediation costs increased due to a release of crude oil on our pipeline near Edwardsville, Illinois in March of 2022. There have been no additional material changes to our environmental matters and compliance costs since our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Critical Accounting Estimates

As of June 30, 2022, there have been no significant changes to our critical accounting estimates since our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Table of Contents

Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

We have not identified any recent accounting pronouncements that are expected to have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows upon adoption. Accounting standards are discussed in Note 2 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We are exposed to market risks related to the volatility of commodity prices. We employ various strategies, including the potential use of commodity derivative instruments, to economically hedge the risks related to these price fluctuations. We are also exposed to market risks related to changes in interest rates. As of June 30, 2022, we did not have any open financial or commodity derivative instruments to hedge the economic risks related to interest rate fluctuations or the volatility of commodity prices, respectively; however, we continually monitor the market and our exposure and may enter into these arrangements in the future.

Commodity Price Risk

The information about commodity price risk for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 does not differ materially from that discussed in Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Outstanding Derivative Contracts

See Notes 9 and 10 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements for more information about the fair value measurement of our natural gas embedded derivative, as well as the amounts recorded in our consolidated balance sheets and statements of income.

Interest Rate Risk and Sensitivity Analysis

Sensitivity analysis of the effect of a hypothetical 100-basis-point change in interest rates on outstanding third-party debt, excluding finance leases, is provided in the following table. Fair value of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable and accrued interest approximate carrying value and are relatively insensitive to changes in interest rates due to the short-term maturity of the instruments. Accordingly, these instruments are excluded from the table.


(In millions)	Fair Value as of June 30, 2022(1)		Change in Fair Value(2)		Change in Income Before Income Taxes for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2022(3)
Outstanding debt
Fixed-rate	$	18,604	$	1,478	N/A
Variable-rate(4)	$	—	$	—	$	1

(1) Fair value was based on market prices, where available, or current borrowing rates for financings with similar terms and maturities.

(2) Assumes a 100-basis-point decrease in the weighted average yield-to-maturity at June 30, 2022.

(3) Assumes a 100-basis-point change in interest rates. The change to net income was based on the weighted average balance of all outstanding variable-rate debt for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

(4) MPLX had no outstanding borrowings on the MPLX Credit Agreement as of June 30, 2022.

At June 30, 2022, our portfolio of third‑party debt consisted of fixed-rate instruments and also provides for borrowings under the MPLX Credit Agreement. The fair value of our fixed-rate debt is relatively sensitive to interest rate fluctuations. Our sensitivity to interest rate declines and corresponding increases in the fair value of our debt portfolio unfavorably affects our results of operations and cash flows only when we elect to repurchase or otherwise retire fixed-rate debt at prices above carrying value. Interest rate fluctuations generally do not impact the fair value of borrowings under our MPLX Credit Agreement, but may affect our results of operations and cash flows.

See Note 9 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements for additional information on the fair value of our debt.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

An evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer of our general partner. Based

upon that evaluation, the chief executive officer and chief financial officer of our general partner concluded that the design and operation of these disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2022, the end of the period covered by this report.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

During the quarter ended June 30, 2022, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Part II – Other Information

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

We are the subject of, or a party to, a number of pending or threatened legal actions, contingencies and commitments involving a variety of matters, including laws and regulations relating to the environment. While it is possible that an adverse result in one or more of the lawsuits or proceedings in which we are a defendant could be material to us, based upon current information and our experience as a defendant in other matters, we believe that these lawsuits and proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Item 103 of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC requires disclosure of certain environmental matters when a governmental authority is a party to the proceedings and such proceedings involve potential monetary sanctions, unless we reasonably believe that the matter will result in no monetary sanctions, or in monetary sanctions, exclusive of interest and costs, of less than $300,000.

There have been no material changes to the legal matters previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, or in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2022.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.
