Martin Midstream Partners L.P. reported its financial results for the second quarter of 2025, revealing a total revenue of $180.7 million, a decrease from $184.5 million in the same period last year.

The sulfur services segment experienced significant growth, with revenues rising to $92.8 million, up from $70.9 million, driven by increased sales volumes. However, the partnership's overall operating income decreased to $29.3 million from $37.8 million, reflecting higher costs associated with product sales and operating expenses. The total costs and expenses for the first half of 2025 were $345.0 million, compared to $328.7 million in the previous year.
