October 14, 2019 [Yahoo] – Enterprise Products Partners L.P. (“Enterprise”) announced today that the board of directors of its general partner declared an increase in the quarterly cash distribution paid to limited partners with respect to the third quarter of 2019 to $0.4425 per common unit, or $1.77 per unit on an annualized basis.

The quarterly distribution will be paid Tuesday, November 12, 2019, to unitholders of record as of the close of business Thursday, October 31, 2019. This distribution, which represents a 2.3 percent increase over the distribution declared with respect to the third quarter of 2018, is the partnership’s 61^st consecutive quarterly distribution increase.

As previously announced, and until further notice, Enterprise has elected to use common units purchased on the open market, rather than issuing new common units to satisfy the delivery obligations under the partnership’s Distribution Reinvestment Plan and Employee Unit Purchase Plan. In future quarters, this election is subject to change depending on the partnership’s need for equity capital.

Enterprise will announce its earnings for the third quarter of 2019 on Monday, October 28, 2019, before the New York Stock Exchange opens for trading. Following the announcement, the partnership will host a conference call at 9 a.m. CT with analysts and investors to discuss earnings. The call will be webcast live on the Internet and may be accessed through the “Investors” section of the partnership’s website at www.enterpriseproducts.com. To listen to the webcast, participants should access the partnership’s website at least 15 minutes prior to the start of the conference call to download and install any necessary audio software. A replay of the webcast will be available for one week following the conference call and may be accessed one hour after completion of the call.
