Read MoreHide Full Article

Phillips 66 Partners LP reported third-quarter adjusted 2021 earnings per unit of $1, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate by a penny and increasing from the year-ago profit of 85 cents.

Revenues of $452 million increased from $394 million in the year-ago quarter and beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $416 million.

The strong quarterly results were driven by increased equity earnings from the Bakken and Gray Oak pipelines. Higher terminal throughput and refined product volumes boosted the results. Recovered refined product and fuel demand played a major role as more people are stepping out for work and leisure owing to the rapid rollout of coronavirus vaccines as well as easing of restrictions.
