5 Headquartered in Philadelphia, PA 1,400 employees Operates in 22 states within the Northeast, Midwest and Gulf Coast Traded on the NYSE as SXL Market capitalization = $3.22B (at the close of trading on 10/27/11) Master Limited Partnership – MLP – Combines tax benefits of Limited Partnership with liquidity of a publicly traded security – Corporate profits not taxed and investors allowed a prorated depreciation write-off Created by Sunoco, Inc (SUN) when it transferred most of its pipeline, terminal and storage assets to the partnership R  I  T FMA 5

6 Publicly-traded partnerships (shares  units / dividends  distributions) Mandate: to pay out all earnings not needed for current operations and maintenance of capital assets (exception = acquisition opportunities) MLPs are pass-though entities  do not pay tax at partnership level Distributions are not considered dividends, rather a return of capital Investors pay taxes on their proportionate share of MLP’s income, offset by: – Depreciation and depletion MLPs tend to trade at higher multiples than similar assets in a corporate structure : – Pass-through tax advantages – Premium investors tend to place on yield – Lower cost of capital which facilitates a potentially faster growth rate R  I  T FMA 6

7 Recent Developments – Sunoco, Inc. struggles Moody’s downgrades long-term credit rating to junk status Announced plans to exit the refining business – Acquisition, Acquisition, Acquisition 2011 acquisitions total $500M – Texon Crude with exposure to shales – Eagle Point Tank Farm – East Boston Products Terminal – Strong outlook for future developments 26 th consecutive distribution increase with 7% growth forecast Currently running an 75/25 mix of ratable to market related revenue Very bullish on terminals and blending services, crude A&M and crude pipelines R  I  T FMA 7

10 Earnings projections – 2012 EPS estimates: Range = 6.05 – 9.30 Average = 7.38 Previous year’s 2012 estimate = 7.60 – Factors influencing EPS estimates: Ability to integrate new acquisitions into existing asset base (synergies?) Development of new customer base Market conditions (oil futures remaining in contango, WTI vs. Brent Spreads) – Oil futures remaining in contango – WTI vs. Brent Spreads – End user demand of energy (blended products) R  I  T FMA 10

11 SXL appears to be an attractive investment for income conscious investors – Opportunity for capital appreciation at or below industry growth rates – More attractive for taxable investment accounts Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) models indicate SXL is severely undervalued – Market appears to be discounting SXL’s growth because of recent developments at Sunoco, Inc. – Sunoco Logistics will rely more heavily on acquisitions for growth in coming years Investment Recommendation = Short Term – HOLD / Long Term – BUY – Industry landscape appears extremely attractive – Risks associated with Sunoco, Inc. and SXL’s ability to integrate recent acquisitions to provide stable growth remains in question R  I  T FMA 11
