A 56% year-over-year revenue jump to $384.8 million, fueled by the DPG Dropdown and higher commodity prices, delivered a strong top-line beat for Delek Logistics. Yet net income fell 35% to $28.9 million as interest expense nearly doubled to $70.1 million following the $800 million debt refinancing in May. The partnership swung to a $69.3 million partners' deficit from $6.1 million in equity at year-end, reflecting heavy distributions and the treasury unit transfer. A cybersecurity incident in July was disclosed but deemed not material. The results highlight the tension between growth and rising financing costs in a high-rate environment.
