Second Quarter Financial Highlights Adjusted earnings before interest , taxes , depreciation , and amortization ( " adjusted EBITDA " ) was $ 224 million , compared to $ 182 million in Q2 2020 . The year - over - year increase was due to record margin contributions from the Gathering and Processing segment and higher contributions from the Marketing segment . This was partially offset by a $ 20 million non - cash accrual related to long - term compensation and lower margin contribution from the Liquids Infrastructure segment related in part to planned maintenance . Distributable cash flow¹ ( " DCF " ) was $ 148 million , compared to $ 158 million for the same period last year . The year - over - year decrease takes into account the same items as adjusted EBITDA , noted above , and higher maintenance capital spending compared to Q2 2020 .
