🧾 What This Document Is

This is a Form 8-K filing, which companies use to announce major, specific news to investors. The attached press release (Exhibit 99.1) is the actual announcement: Delek Logistics is increasing its quarterly cash payment to its owners (unitholders).

🏢 What The Company Does

In simple terms, Delek Logistics is a "toll road" for energy products. It owns and operates a network of pipelines, storage tanks, and terminals, mostly in the key oil-producing regions of Texas and the Gulf Coast. It charges fees to move and handle crude oil, natural gas, and refined fuels for its customers, including its parent company, Delek US Holdings.

👉 Think of it as the essential plumbing and storage infrastructure for the oil and gas industry in its region.

💰 Financial Highlights: The Distribution Increase

The core news is about the cash paid to investors, called a "distribution."

• New Quarterly Amount: $1.13 per common unit.
• Annualized Impact: This sets a run-rate of $4.52 per unit per year.
• Key Dates:
  • Pay Date: May 11, 2026
  • Record Date: May 4, 2026 (You must own the stock before this date to get the payment).

🚀 Key Move: Why the Hike Matters

This isn't just maintaining a payment; it's an increase. Management is signaling confidence in the company's stable cash flow and future earnings.

👉 A distribution increase is a direct reward for shareholders and often signals management's belief that the business is strong and growing. It's like getting a pay raise from your job.

📦 Financial Position & Structure

While this filing doesn't detail assets or debt, it clarifies the company's structure, which is crucial for understanding its cash flows:

• It's a Master Limited Partnership (MLP), a structure common in energy infrastructure that typically pays out most of its cash flow to investors.
• Its general partner and majority owner is Delek US Holdings (NYSE: DK), which also acts as a major customer. This creates a tightly integrated business model.

⚠️ Risks and Forward-Looking Statements

The filing includes a standard warning (a "Safe Harbor" provision) that the announcement contains forward-looking statements about future payments and performance. These predictions involve risks and uncertainties, and actual results could differ.

🧠 The Analogy

Increasing the distribution is like a successful rental property owner raising the monthly rent they pay themselves from the property's profits. It shows the property (the pipeline network) is in high demand, generating reliable income, and the owner is confident enough to take a bigger share of that income now.

🧩 Final Takeaway

Delek Logistics is raising its quarterly investor payout to $1.13 per unit, reflecting strong, stable cash flow from its energy infrastructure assets. This move rewards shareholders and signals management's confidence in the ongoing health of the business.
