UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The following unaudited pro forma combined financial information of Sunoco reflects the pro forma impacts of multiple transactions, each of which is described in the following sections. The NuStar Merger and West Texas Asset Sale (both of which terms are defined below) were completed in the second quarter of 2024.
NuStar Merger. On May 3, 2024, Sunoco completed the previously announced acquisition of NuStar (“NuStar Merger”). Under the terms of the agreement, NuStar common unitholders received 0.400 Sunoco common units for each NuStar common unit. In connection with the acquisition, we issued approximately 51.5 million common units, which had a fair value of approximately $2.85 billion, assumed debt totaling approximately $3.5 billion including approximately $56 million of lease related financing obligations and assumed preferred units with a fair value of approximately $800 million. The assets acquired in the NuStar Merger included approximately 9,500 miles of pipeline and 63 terminal and storage facilities that store and distribute crude oil, refined products, renewable fuels, ammonia and specialty liquids.
West Texas Asset Sale. On April 16, 2024, Sunoco completed the previously announced sale of 204 convenience stores located in West Texas, New Mexico, and Oklahoma to 7-Eleven, Inc. (“West Texas Asset Sale”) for approximately $1.0 billion, including customary adjustments for fuel and merchandise inventory. As part of the sale, Sunoco also amended its existing take-or-pay fuel supply agreement with 7-Eleven, Inc. to incorporate additional fuel gross profit. Upon the completion of the sale, the Partnership recorded a $598 million gain ($461 million, net of current tax expense of $199 million and deferred tax benefit of $62 million).
The unaudited pro forma combined financial information does not reflect the pro forma impacts of Sunoco’s recently completed acquisition of liquid fuel terminals in Amsterdam, Netherlands and Bantry Bay, Ireland, because such pro forma impacts are not significant to Sunoco’s historical financial statements or to the pro forma combined financial statements included herein.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of income assume that the NuStar Merger and West Texas Asset Sale were consummated on January 1, 2023. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of income should be read in conjunction with (i) Sunoco’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, (ii) Sunoco LP’s revised description of the business, financial statements as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, and Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in Exhibit 99.2 to its Form 8-K filed October 15, 2024, (iii) NuStar’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, (iv) NuStar’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2024 and (v) Sunoco’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2024.
The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X, as amended by Release No. 33-10786. The pro forma adjustments included herein include those adjustments that reflect the accounting for the respective transactions in accordance with U.S. GAAP (“transaction accounting adjustments”). Adjustments to reflect synergies and/or dis-synergies related to the respective transactions (“management adjustments”), which are elective pro forma adjustments under Release No. 33-10786, have not been reflected herein.
The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements are for illustrative purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of the financial results that would have occurred if the NuStar Merger and/or West Texas Asset Sale had been consummated on the dates indicated, nor are they necessarily indicative of the financial position or results of operations in the future. The pro forma adjustments, as described in the accompanying notes, are based upon available information and certain assumptions that are believed to be reasonable as of the date of this document. The unaudited pro forma combined financial information includes certain non-recurring transaction-related adjustments, as discussed in the accompanying notes.
The unaudited pro forma adjustments are based on available information and certain assumptions that management believes are reasonable under the circumstances. The unaudited pro forma combined financial information is presented for informational purposes only, and is not intended to be a projection of future results. All pro forma adjustments and their underlying assumptions are described more fully in the notes to the unaudited pro forma combined financial information.
