Item 2.02  Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

MPLX LP (the "Partnership") is furnishing supplemental information concerning the 2016 Unaudited Quarterly Recasted Statements of Income for each of the quarters in the year ended December 31, 2016. As a result of the Partnership's acquisition from Marathon Petroleum Corporation ("MPC") of Hardin Street Transportation LLC ("HST"), Woodhaven Cavern LLC ("WHC") and MPLX Terminals LLC ("MPLXT") on March 1, 2017, management desires to provide information to investors to enhance the understanding of each component's historical operating performance. The results for MPLXT are recast effective April 1, 2016. Prior to this date, MPLXT was not considered a business for accounting purposes and therefore there are no financial results from which to recast. As the acquisition of HST, WHC and MPLXT from MPC was a transfer between entities under common control, the basis of the assets acquired from MPC is MPC's historical basis instead of fair value. Accordingly, beginning with the filing of its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2017, the Partnership retrospectively adjusted the historical financial results for all periods to include HST, WHC and MPLXT as required for transactions between entities under common control.

The 2016 Unaudited Quarterly Recasted Statements of Income have been prepared based on the consolidated financial statements included in the Partnership's Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2016, June 30, 2016 and September 30, 2016 and the Partnership's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. The 2016 Unaudited Quarterly Statements of Income should be read in conjunction with such historical consolidated financial statements, including the related financial statement notes.

The detailed 2016 Unaudited Quarterly Recasted Statements of Income are being furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report and are incorporated herein by reference. The 2016 Unaudited Quarterly Recasted Statements of Income are presented for illustrative purposes only and are based on available information and assumptions the Partnership believes are reasonable. They do not purport to represent what the actual consolidated results would have been if the acquisitions of HST, WHC and MPLXT had occurred on January 1, 2016, nor are they necessarily indicative of future consolidated results of operations. Actual results of operations may differ, perhaps significantly, from the amounts reflected in the 2016 Unaudited Quarterly Recasted Statements of Income.
