Partnerships
Sunoco LP secures volume commitments from ExxonMobil and Valero covering roughly 40% of its 2025 motor fuel throughput (~3.6 billion gallons), keeping retail sites supplied during disruptions and limiting stockouts to under 1% annually.
By 2026, contracts include renewable diesel and ethanol blends, supporting a 12% rise in renewable gallons sold and helping Sunoco meet state RFS/LCFS obligations while preserving margin stability.
The 15-year take-or-pay agreement with 7‑Eleven (signed 2019) guarantees ~1.2 billion gallons/year through FY2025, providing a predictable cash‑flow floor that supports Sunoco LP's $1.05 distribution (2025) and underpins payout coverage; it locks a material share (~35%) of annual fuel volume, shielding revenue from spot price swings.
Sunoco LP partners with over 10,000 third-party retail locations and independent distributors carrying the Sunoco brand, supplying local market presence while avoiding ownership of high-maintenance retail real estate.
This capital-light model supported Sunoco's network expansion into key U.S. corridors, helping sustain annual fuel sales volumes near 3.2 billion gallons in 2025 and lower fixed-asset intensity versus fully owned retail peers.
NuStar Midstream Integration Partners
Following the $7.3 billion NuStar acquisition in 2025, Sunoco LP secured long-term contracts with major crude producers and chemical firms, adding 120 million barrels of terminal capacity and 1,200 miles of pipeline connectivity.
These partnerships reposition Sunoco from intermediary to critical midstream infrastructure provider, enabling integrated logistics that cut fuel movement costs by an estimated 8-12% and add ~$220 million EBITDA annually.
