Did the company report any changes in commodity prices, feedstock costs, or transportation rates that impacted earnings?

Based on the excerpt you provided, the press‑release summary focuses on the headline financial figures for the quarter—net income of $14.6 million (or $0.41 per limited‑partner unit) and cash flow from operating activities of $9.1 million, which represents a sharp decline from the prior year’s $121.9 million.

The text does not contain any discussion of:

  • Commodity‑price movements (e.g., changes in the price of petrochemical feedstocks or finished products)
  • Feedstock‑cost variations (e.g., natural gas, crude oil, or other raw‑material price swings)
  • Transportation‑rate changes (e.g., freight, pipeline, or shipping cost adjustments)

Because those topics are absent from the summary, we cannot say that Westlake Chemical Partners LP reported any specific impacts from commodity prices, feedstock costs, or transportation rates on its earnings for Q2 2025.

If you need that level of detail, you would have to review the full earnings release or the accompanying management discussion and analysis (MD&A), where companies typically disclose any material cost‑structure drivers that affected results.
