DELEK LOGISTICS PARTNERS (DKL)

Its business is closely linked to Delek US Holdings, which is its sponsor and a major customer. Delek Logistics supports refinery operations by gathering crude oil, transporting intermediate and finished products, providing storage capacity, and operating terminals used to distribute gasoline, diesel and other refined products. This relationship gives the partnership a built-in demand base, while its assets also serve independent third parties.

The company reports operations across activities such as gathering and processing, wholesale marketing and terminalling, storage and transportation, and interests in pipeline joint ventures. Wholesale marketing and terminalling is a major contributor to revenue. In that area, Delek Logistics markets refined products associated with Delek Holdings’ refineries, buys and sells light products through company-operated and third-party terminals, and provides terminalling services to both affiliates and outside customers.

For investors, Delek Logistics is best understood as an income-oriented energy infrastructure business rather than an exploration or production company. Its performance depends on throughput volumes, refinery utilization, contract terms, product demand and the health of the broader refined fuels market. The partnership’s asset base is concentrated in the US energy logistics chain, where scale, location and long-term customer relationships are central to its competitive position.
