- **Strategic Pivot Complete**: Acquired 100% of EPIC Crude for $1.3B, renaming it Cactus III to integrate with existing long-haul network. 2026 EBITDA multiple of 10x, targeting mid-teens returns.
- **Financial Strength**: Narrowed 2025 EBITDA guidance to $2.84-2.89B, issuing $1.25B in notes to refinance debt and fund EPIC.
- **Distribution Confidence**: Plan to continue $0.15 annual increases until 1.6x DCF coverage, redeploying NGL sale proceeds into accretive bolt-ons.
- **Operational Leverage**: $40M annual cost savings from EPIC integration, optimizing flows across 3 Permian pipelines to Corpus Christi.
- **Long-Term Growth**: Bullish on North American crude demand, with focus on connecting Canadian barrels to Gulf Coast via existing infrastructure.

**【CEO Summary Section】**
- Reported third-quarter adjusted EBITDA attributable to Plains of $669 million, driven by the acquisition of the remaining 45% interest in EPIC Crude Holdings for $1.3 billion (including $500 million debt) and the 55% nonoperating interest acquired earlier in the quarter.
- The EPIC acquisition is expected to generate a mid-teens unlevered return with a 2026 EBITDA multiple of ~10x, improving over time. Plains will rename the pipeline system "Cactus III" to align with its integrated long-haul network.
- Management emphasized becoming a pure-play crude midstream company with the pending sale of NGL assets expected to close by Q1 2026, redeploying proceeds into accretive bolt-ons while maintaining leverage within the target range of 3.0-3.5x.
- Near-term benefits include contractual volume step-ups, reduced operating costs, and flexibility to expand EPIC capacity based on market demand by 2028.

**【CFO Financial Commentary】**
- Crude Oil segment EBITDA: $593 million (up 12% vs. Q2 2025) due to higher volumes, bolt-on acquisitions, and annual tariff escalations, partially offset by lower Permian contract rates.
- NGL segment EBITDA: $70 million (down 17% vs. Q2) due to temporary third-party pipeline downtime and LNG Canada startup costs.
- Full-year 2025 adjusted EBITDA guidance narrowed to $2.84-2.89 billion (prior: $2.80-2.90 billion) to reflect lower realized crude prices and $40 million EPIC contribution for the remainder of 2025.
- Capital spending: ~$490 million (growth: $490M, maintenance: $215M), with $1.25 billion of senior unsecured notes issued in September to repay maturing debt and fund EPIC acquisitions.

**【Q&A Highlights】**
- **EPIC Synergies**: ~$40 million annual cost savings through overhead consolidation, capital spending reductions, and operational efficiencies. Expansion opportunities could add 100,000+ barrels/day of capacity to Corpus Christi.
- **Distribution Growth**: Expect to continue $0.15 annual distribution increases until reaching 1.6x DCF coverage, with flexibility to look through short-term noise.
- **Canadian NGL Sale**: Proceeds will be used to reduce debt and maintain leverage within target range. FX risk hedged at transaction execution.
- **2026 Outlook**: Permian volumes expected to grow despite lower contract rates, with focus on optimizing operating leverage across the integrated system.
- **Canadian Crude Egress**: Exploring opportunities to connect Canadian barrels to U.S. Gulf Coast via existing infrastructure like the Capline pipeline.
