NEW YORK (S&P Global Ratings) Oct. 14, 2022--S&P Global Ratings today said that Enterprise Products Partners L.P.'s (EPD; BBB+/Stable/A-2) redemption of $350 million of its EPO junior subordinated notes series D on Aug. 31, 2022, does not affect our intermediate equity treatment of the partnership's remaining junior subordinated notes. EPD funded the redemption with cash on hand and commercial paper borrowings. However, the partnership's creditworthiness has materially improved since it issued the junior subordinated notes in 2017, which is one of the circumstances when the redemption of a hybrid without replacement is acceptable under our criteria. EPD ended 2017 with S&P Global Ratings-adjusted debt to EBITDA of 4.0x, which compares with its debt to EBITDA of 3.18x for the 12-months
