Bullish Statements during Earnings call

Statement
But I think that if you connect the dots that you have seen in the last year or so you can be very pleased with the improvement in leverage ratio
We delivered another record quarter and achieved a record year
Delek Logistics has shown a strong track record of delivering value to unitholders
We saw a substantial growth from our new connection in our mid and gathering operations further validating our strong position in the Permian Basin
I'm very proud of our employees, who are dedicated to making Delek Logistics succeed
So we are very optimistic about what we see in the business on the opportunity we have seen a nice significant CapEx plan into the business that will enhance additional opportunities
In Q4, we expedite some of our maintenance work that we plan to do in Q1 and decided to do it in Q4, that's actually help us to continue improving volumes
But we are very optimistic, and we see a consistent and constant improvement in the business
If you compare year-over-year, we obviously continue to improve our social performance
So that was a very good acquisition to get into and we are happy around it
Delek Logistics Partners finished 2023 strong
We feel confident in our ability to maintain competitive distribution to our investors
But as we're looking right now in Q1, there is already an improvement compared both to Q3 and also Q4
It is their dedication to safe and reliable operation that makes our results possible
So we didn't put it on the beamboard here but we were happy to enjoy them
So we are focusing to have a constant improvement and we are committed to keep improving our business
We are also focused on growing third-party revenues, allocating capital in a disciplined manner and exploring natural gas opportunities in the Delaware Basin, where we see significant growth
As you probably picked up, we have a significant capital budget that will enhance additional volume and connection in the DPG, the Midland area, and we will see volume picked up along the year
So you see the fruits of that
Paul Langlois Excellent
Generally speaking the three Bear now DDG is meeting our expectation
And you can expect that after producers adding new production, you probably know that as good as anyone that the new production in the beginning goes to very high and then stabilize over time
DKL exceeds $100 million in adjusted EBITDA this quarter
Are there ways – what is your thoughts on leverage here at DKL? And are there ways that that could be improved as part of that? Anything you can kind of say on that subject? Avigal Soreq So you can probably see the trend all that we have seen with the leverage ratio was improving quarter-over-quarter
Great
Great
Great
The increase was primarily due to higher throughput from Delek Logistics Premium Basin assets
We had a big initiative on the parent company to reduce expenses recorded the zero-based budget with a target of $100 million
In January, the Board approved the 44th consecutive increase in the quarterly distribution to $1.055 per unit

And some of the gas and the water and the Delaware volumes were down a little bit sequentially
As Avigal mentioned, we do see the natural decline in the business compared to the peak we've seen or compared to the volume we've seen in Q3
I was curious, it looked like the Midland volumes were down a little bit sequentially
And then I noticed corporate expenses were down a little bit sequentially
So this is why you see gas slightly lower compared to -- between Q4 and Q3 of this year
The fourth quarter EBITDA was $86.1 million, which included a $14.8 million goodwill impairment related to some of our Delaware Gathering and processing assets
Forgive me if I missed that
The impairment was primarily driven by a significant increase in interest rates
And then my last question you probably won't be able to say too much on it
These statements involve risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ from our forecast
