We see strong momentum for our company this year with elevated commodity prices prompting increased industry activity.

The lack of major planned turnaround activity for Delek US in 2022 bodes well for the DKL volumetric outlook. Finally, the recently announced planned acquisition of 3Bear Delaware Holding – NM, LLC, should provide DKL with more size and scale, better diversification both geographically within the Permian Basin and from a product mix standpoint. The transaction is expected to be immediately accretive to our distributable cash flow ratios," said Uzi Yemin, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Delek Logistics.
