Key Risks:

• Geographic Concentration Risk: The Gulf Coast, Southwest, Rocky Mountain, Northeast, and Midwest areas in the US are EPD's primary markets. As a result, independent oil and gas businesses and other pipelines and wholesalers operating in these areas account for a large amount of its trade receivables. As a result, any changes in regulatory, economic, or other conditions in these regions could harm the company's cash flow and sales.

Outlook:

• Capital Expenditure Estimates: EPD expects growth capital investments linked with sanctioned projects for FY21 and FY22 to be around USD 1.7 billion and USD 800 million, respectively, as of November 02, 2021. However, given the projects now in development, growth capital expenditures for FY22 could wind up being in the range of USD 1.0 – 1.5 billion.
