PLAINS ALL AMERICAN PIPELINE, L.P. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
Note 1Organization and Accounting Policies
Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. is a Delaware limited partnership formed in September 1998.
Our operations are conducted directly and indirectly through our primary operating subsidiaries. As
used in this Form 10-Q, the terms Partnership, Plains, we, us, our, ours and similar
terms refer to Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. and its subsidiaries, unless the context
indicates otherwise.
We are engaged in the transportation, storage, terminalling and marketing of crude oil,
refined products and liquefied petroleum gas and other natural gas-related petroleum products. We
refer to liquefied petroleum gas and other natural gas related petroleum products collectively as
LPG. Through our 50% equity ownership in PAA/Vulcan Gas Storage, LLC (PAA/Vulcan), we develop
and operate natural gas storage facilities.
Our 2% general partner interest is held by Plains AAP, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership.
Plains All American GP LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, is Plains AAP, L.P.s general
partner. Plains All American GP LLC manages our operations and activities and employs our domestic
officers and personnel. Our Canadian officers and employees are employed by our subsidiary PMC
(Nova Scotia) Company, the general partner of Plains Marketing Canada, L.P. Unless the context
otherwise requires, we use the term general partner to refer to both Plains AAP, L.P. and Plains
All American GP LLC. Plains AAP, L.P. and Plains All American GP LLC are essentially held by seven
owners with interests ranging from 54.3% to 1.2%.
The consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with our
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto presented in our 2006 Annual Report on Form
10-K. The accompanying financial statements and related notes present (i) our consolidated financial
position as of March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, (ii) the results of our consolidated
operations for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, (iii) our consolidated cash flows
for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, (iv) our consolidated changes in partners
capital for the three months ended March 31, 2007, (v) our consolidated comprehensive income for
the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, and (vi) our changes in consolidated accumulated
other comprehensive income for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The financial statements have
been prepared in accordance with the instructions for interim reporting as prescribed by the
Securities and Exchange Commission. All adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring
adjustments) that in the opinion of management were necessary for a fair statement of the results
for the interim periods have been reflected. All significant intercompany transactions have been
eliminated. Certain reclassifications are made to prior periods to conform to current period
presentation. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2007 should not be
taken as indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
The accompanying consolidated
financial statements of PAA include PAA and all of its subsidiaries,
which are wholly owned. Investments in
50% or less owned entities over which we have significant influence but not control are accounted
for by the equity method. During the first quarter of 2007 we
made an additional contribution of approximately $9 million to
PAA/Vulcan. We evaluate our equity investments for impairment in accordance with
Accounting Principles Board (APB) 18: The Equity Method of Accounting for Investments in Common
Stock. An impairment of an equity investment results when factors indicate that the investments
fair value is less than its carrying value and the reduction in value is other than temporary in
nature.
Note 2Trade Accounts Receivable
Our accounts receivable are primarily from purchasers and shippers of crude oil and, to a
lesser extent, purchasers of LPG. The majority of our accounts receivable relate to our marketing
activities, which can generally be described as high volume and low margin activities, in many cases
involving exchanges of crude oil volumes. We make a determination of the amount, if any, of the
line of credit to be extended to any given customer and the form and amount of financial
performance assurances we require. Such financial assurances are commonly provided to us in the
form of standby letters of credit, advance cash payments or parental guarantees. At March 31,
2007 and December 31, 2006, we had received approximately $16.8 million and $28.3 million,
respectively, of advance cash payments and prepayments from third parties to mitigate credit risk.
In addition, we enter into netting arrangements with our counterparties. These arrangements cover a
significant part of our transactions and also serve to mitigate credit risk.
7
We review all outstanding accounts receivable balances on a monthly basis and record a reserve
for amounts that we expect will not be fully recovered. Actual balances are not applied against the
reserve until substantially all collection efforts have been exhausted. At March 31, 2007 and
December 31, 2006, substantially all of our net accounts receivable classified as current were less
than 60 days past their scheduled invoice date. Although we consider our allowance for doubtful trade accounts receivable to be
adequate, there is no assurance that actual amounts will not vary significantly from estimated
amounts. Our allowance for doubtful accounts balance was
$0.7 million at March 31, 2007 and at December 31,
2006.
Note 3Acquisitions
During the first quarter of 2007, we acquired (i) certain commercial refined products supply
and marketing businesses (which is reflected in our marketing segment)
for approximately $8 million in cash (including approximately
$7 million of goodwill) and (ii) a trucking
business (which is reflected in our transportation segment) for
approximately $9 million in cash (including approximately
$4 million of goodwill). Also,
during the first quarter of 2007, we signed an agreement to acquire the Bumstead LPG storage
facility located near Phoenix, Arizona for approximately $52 million. The acquisition is expected
to close early in the second half of 2007 and will be reflected in our facilities segment.
Note 4Inventory and Linefill
Inventory primarily consists of crude oil, refined products and LPG in pipelines, storage
tanks and rail cars that is valued at the lower of cost or market, with cost determined using an
average cost method. Linefill and minimum working inventory requirements in assets we own are
recorded at historical cost and consist of crude oil and LPG used to pack the pipeline such that
when an incremental barrel enters a pipeline it forces a barrel out at another location, as well as
the minimum amount of crude oil necessary to operate our storage and terminalling facilities.
Minimum working inventory requirements in third-party assets are included in Inventory (a
current asset) in determining the average cost of operating inventory and applying the lower of
cost or market analysis. At the end of each period, we reclassify the inventory in third party
assets not expected to be liquidated within the succeeding twelve months out of Inventory, at
average cost, and into Inventory in third-party assets (a long-term asset), which is reflected as a
separate line item within other assets on the consolidated balance sheet.

At March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, we have
classified $90.2 million and $158.2
million, respectively, of borrowings under our senior unsecured revolving credit facility as
short-term. These borrowings are designated as working capital borrowings, must be repaid
within one year, and are primarily for hedged inventory and New York
Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX) and IntercontinentalExchange (ICE) margin deposits. |
|
(2) |
|
At March 31, 2007, the aggregate fair value of our fixed rate senior notes is estimated to be
approximately $2,689.1 million. The carrying values of the variable rate instruments in our
credit facilities approximate fair value primarily because interest rates fluctuate with
prevailing market rates, and the credit spread on outstanding
borrowings reflects market. |
Letters of Credit. In
connection with our crude oil
marketing business and as is customary in our industry, we provide certain suppliers and transporters with irrevocable standby letters of credit
to secure our obligation for the purchase of crude oil. These letters of credit are issued under
our credit facility, and our liabilities with respect to these purchase obligations are recorded in
accounts payable on our balance sheet in the month the crude oil is purchased. Generally, these
letters of credit are issued for periods of up to seventy days and are terminated upon completion
of each transaction. At March 31, 2007, approximately $120.0 million of letters of credit under our credit
facility were outstanding.

Note 6Earnings Per Limited Partner Unit
Except as discussed in the following paragraph, basic and diluted net income per limited
partner unit is determined by dividing net income after deducting the amount allocated to the
general partner interest (including its incentive distribution in excess of its 2% interest) by the
weighted average number of outstanding limited partner units during the period. Subject to
applicability of Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 03-06 (EITF 03-06), Participating
Securities and the Two-Class Method under Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement
No. 128, as discussed below, Partnership income is first allocated to the general partner based on
the amount of incentive distributions. The remainder is then allocated between the limited partners
and general partner based on percentage ownership in the Partnership.
EITF 03-06 addresses the computation of earnings per share by entities that have issued
securities other than common stock that contractually entitle the holder to participate in
dividends and earnings of the entity when, and if, it declares
dividends on its common stock (or partnership distributions to
unitholders). EITF
03-06 provides that in any accounting period where our aggregate net income exceeds our aggregate
distribution for such period, we are required to present earnings per unit as if all of the
earnings for the periods were distributed, regardless of the pro forma nature of this allocation
and whether those earnings would actually be distributed during a particular period from an
economic or practical perspective. EITF 03-06 does not impact our overall net income or other
financial results; however, for periods in which aggregate net income exceeds our aggregate
distributions for such period, it will have the impact of reducing the earnings per limited partner
unit. This result occurs as a larger portion of our aggregate earnings is allocated (as if
distributed) to our general partner, even though we make cash distributions on the basis of cash
available for distributions, not earnings, in any given accounting period. In accounting periods
where aggregate net income does not exceed our aggregate distributions for such period, EITF 03-06
does not have any impact on our earnings per unit calculation.

The following sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per limited partner
unit.

Our LTIP awards that contemplate the issuance of common units described in Note 8 are
considered dilutive securities unless (i) vesting occurs only upon the satisfaction of a
performance condition and (ii) that performance condition has yet to be satisfied. The
dilutive securities are reduced by a hypothetical unit repurchase based on the remaining
unamortized fair value, as prescribed by the treasury stock method in Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128, Earnings per Share. |
Note 7Partners Capital and Distributions
On
April 17, 2007, we declared a cash distribution of $0.8125 per unit on our outstanding
common units. The distribution is payable on May 15, 2007, to unitholders of record on May 4,
2007, for the period January 1, 2007 through March 31, 2007. The total distribution to be paid is
approximately $107.4 million, with approximately $88.9 million to be paid to our common
unitholders and approximately $1.8 million and $16.7 million to be paid to our general partner for
its general partner and incentive distribution interests, respectively.
12
On January 16, 2007, we declared a cash distribution of $0.80 per unit on our outstanding
common units. The distribution was paid on February 14, 2007 to unitholders of record on February
2, 2007, for the period October 1, 2006 through December 31, 2006. The
total distribution paid was approximately $104.6 million, with approximately $87.5 million
paid to our common unitholders and $1.8 million and $15.3 million paid to our general partner for
its general partner and incentive distribution interests, respectively.
Upon closing of the acquisition of Pacific Energy Partners L.P. (Pacific) in November 2006, our general
partner agreed to reduce the amount of its incentive distributions as follows: (i) $5 million per
quarter for the first four quarters, (ii) $3.75 million per quarter for the next eight quarters,
(iii) $2.5 million per quarter for the next four quarters, and (iv) $1.25 million per quarter for
the final four quarters. Pursuant to this agreement, the first
quarterly reduction of $5 million occurred with the
incentive distribution paid to the general partner on
February 14, 2007. The incentive distribution to be paid in May 2007 also reflects a reduction of $5
million. The total reduction in incentive distributions will be $65 million.
Note 8Long-Term Incentive Plans
Our general partner has adopted the Plains All American GP LLC 1998 Long-Term Incentive Plan,
the 2005 Long-Term Incentive Plan and the PPX Successor Long-Term Incentive Plan for employees and
directors and the Plains All American GP LLC 2006 Long-Term Incentive Tracking Unit Plan for
non-officer employees, collectively referred to as Long-Term Incentive Plans (LTIP). The 1998
Plan, 2005 Plan and PPX Successor Plan authorize the grant of an aggregate of 5.4 million common
units deliverable upon vesting. Although other types of awards are contemplated under the plans,
currently outstanding awards are limited to phantom units, which mature into the right to receive
common units (or cash equivalent) upon vesting. Some awards also include distribution equivalent
rights (DERs). Subject to applicable vesting criteria, a DER entitles the grantee to a cash
payment equal to cash distributions paid on an outstanding common
unit prior to the vesting date of the underlying award. The 2006 Plan authorizes the
grant of approximately 1.4 million tracking units which, upon vesting, represent the
right to receive a cash payment in an amount based upon the market value of a Common Unit at the time of vesting.
Our general partner is entitled to reimbursement by us for any costs incurred in settling obligations under the plans.
We adopted SFAS 123(R) on
January 1, 2006. Under SFAS 123(R) the fair value of the awards,
which are subject to liability classification, is calculated based on the market price of our units
at the balance sheet date adjusted for (i) the present value of any distributions that are
estimated to occur on the underlying units over the vesting period that will not be received by the
award recipients and (ii) an estimated forfeiture rate when appropriate. This fair value is then
recognized as compensation expense over the period the awards are earned. For awards with performance conditions, we
recognize LTIP compensation expense only if the achievement of the performance condition is
considered probable. When awards with performance conditions that were previously considered
improbable of occurring become probable of occurring, we incur additional LTIP compensation expense
necessary to adjust the life-to-date accrued liability associated with these awards. In addition,
we recognize compensation expense for DER payments in the period the payment is earned.
As of March 31, 2007, there were outstanding awards of approximately
4.4 million phantom units and tracking units with a
weighted average grant-date fair value of approximately $36.92 per unit. Our LTIP awards
typically contain performance conditions relative to our annualized distribution level and vest
upon the latter of a certain date or upon the attainment of a certain annualized distribution
level. Upon our February 2007 annualized distribution of $3.20, approximately 2.2 million of our
outstanding awards satisfied all performance conditions necessary for vesting and will vest in
various increments over the next 5 years. Approximately 0.7 million of these awards will vest in
May 2007. Approximately 2.2 million of our remaining outstanding awards have performance conditions requiring
the attainment of an annualized distribution of between $3.50 and $4.00, which is not yet considered
probable of occurring. Provided the performance
conditions associated with these awards are ultimately attained, these awards will vest in various
increments between 2010 and 2014. However, subject to continued
employment, approximately 0.4 million of these awards still outstanding in 2012 will vest
regardless of whether or not the performance condition is attained. Approximately 3.0 million of our outstanding awards include DERs,
of which 1.6 million are currently vested. Our DER awards typically contain performance conditions
relative to our annualized distribution level and vest upon the earlier of a certain date or a
certain annualized distribution level. The DERs terminate with the vesting or forfeiture of the
underlying award.
Our LTIP activity is summarized in the following table (in millions except weighted average

We recognized expense related to our LTIP of approximately $19 million and $10 million
during the first quarter of 2007 and 2006, respectively. Approximately $8.4 million of the charge
for the first quarter of 2007 is associated with the Partnerships unit price increasing from $51.20 at December 31, 2006 to $57.61 at March 31, 2007. As of March 31,
2007, we have an accrued liability of approximately
$74.8 million associated with our LTIP. Cash payments associated
with LTIP vestings were approximately $1 million in the first
quarter of 2006. There were no material payments in the first quarter of
2007. Cash
payments associated with DER awards were approximately $1 million and $1 million
in the first quarter of 2007 and 2006, respectively. No units were issued during the first quarter
of 2007 in connection with the settlement of vested awards.
As of
March 31, 2007, the weighted average remaining contractual life of our outstanding awards
(that are currently considered probable of vesting) was approximately 2.5 years based on expected vesting dates.
Based on the March 31, 2007 fair value measurement and probability assessment regarding
future distributions, we expect to recognize an additional $65 million of expense over the life of
our outstanding awards related to the remaining unrecognized fair value. This estimate is based on
the market price of our limited partner units of $57.61 at March 31, 2007.
Actual amounts may differ
materially as a result of a change in market price. We estimate that the remaining fair value will
be recognized in expense as shown below (in millions):

Note 9Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
We utilize various derivative instruments to (i) manage our exposure to commodity price risk,
(ii) engage in a controlled commodity trading program, (iii) manage our exposure to interest rate
risk and (iv) manage our exposure to currency exchange rate risk. Our risk management policies and
procedures are designed to monitor interest rates, currency exchange
rates, and NYMEX, ICE and
over-the-counter positions, as well as physical volumes, grades, locations and delivery schedules
to help ensure that our hedging activities address our market risks. Our policy is to formally
document all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as our risk
management objectives and strategy for undertaking the hedge. We calculate hedge effectiveness on a
quarterly basis. This process includes specific identification of the hedging instrument and the
hedged transaction, the nature of the risk being hedged and how the hedging instruments
effectiveness will be assessed. Both at the inception of the hedge and on an ongoing basis, we
assess whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions are highly effective in
offsetting changes in cash flows or the fair value of hedged items.
Summary of Financial Impact
The majority of our derivative activity is related to our commodity price-risk hedging
activities. Through these activities, we hedge our exposure to price fluctuations with respect to
crude oil, refined products, LPG and natural gas as well as with respect to expected purchases,
sales and transportation of these commodities. The majority of the instruments that qualify for
hedge accounting are cash flow hedges. Therefore, the corresponding changes in fair value for the
effective portion of the hedges are deferred to Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (AOCI) and
recognized in revenues or crude oil and LPG purchases and related costs in the periods during which
the underlying physical transactions occur. Derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting
and the portion of cash flow hedges that is not highly effective (as defined in SFAS No. 133,
Accounting For Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended (SFAS 133)) in
offsetting changes in cash flows of the hedged items, are marked-to-market in revenues each period.
14
The derivative instruments we use consist primarily
of futures and options contracts traded on the NYMEX, the ICE and over-the-counter, including commodity
swap and option contracts entered into with financial institutions and other energy companies.
A summary of the earnings impact of all derivative activities, including the change in fair
value of open derivatives and settled derivatives taken to earnings during the first quarter of
2007 and the first quarter of 2006, is as follows (in millions, losses designated in brackets):

In addition to the $32.7 million of unrealized losses deferred to AOCI for open
derivative positions, AOCI also includes a deferred loss of approximately $6.1 million that relates
to terminated interest rate swaps that were cash settled in connection with the refinancing of debt
agreements over the past five years. The deferred loss related to these instruments is being
amortized to interest expense over the original terms of the terminated instruments.
15
The
total amount of deferred net losses recorded in AOCI is expected to be reclassified to
future earnings, contemporaneously with the related physical purchase or delivery of the underlying
commodity or payments of interest. Of the total net loss deferred in AOCI at March 31, 2007, a net
loss of $32.4 million will be reclassified into earnings in the next twelve months; the remaining
net loss will be reclassified at various intervals (ending in 2016 for amounts related to our
terminated interest rate swaps and 2008 for amounts related to our commodity price-risk hedging).
Because a portion of these amounts is based on market prices at the current period end, actual
amounts to be reclassified will differ and could vary materially as a result of changes in market
conditions. During the three months ended March 31, 2007 no amounts were reclassified to earnings
from AOCI in connection with forecasted transactions that were no longer considered probable of
occurring.
Note 10Related Party Transactions
Crude Oil Purchases and Hedges. Until August 12, 2005, Vulcan Energy owned 100% of Calumet
Florida L.L.C. (Calumet). Calumet is now owned by Vulcan Resources Florida, Inc., the majority of
which is owned by Paul G. Allen. We purchased crude oil from Calumet
for approximately $11.3 million and $11.3 million in the first quarter of 2007 and 2006, respectively.
Calumet may request from time to time that we provide fixed pricing or a range of pricing for a
portion of its production. When we offer such an arrangement, we protect our position by placing
hedges on equivalent amounts, and charge Calumet a fee of $0.20 per barrel.
Gas Hedges. PAA/Vulcan is developing a natural gas storage facility through its wholly owned
subsidiary, Pine Prairie Energy Center, LLC (Pine Prairie). Proper functioning of the Pine
Prairie storage caverns will require a minimum operating inventory contained in the caverns at all
times (referred to as base gas). During the first quarter of 2006, we arranged to provide the
base gas for the storage facility to Pine Prairie at a price not to exceed $8.50 per million cubic
feet. In conjunction with this arrangement, we executed hedges on the NYMEX for the relevant
delivery periods of 2008, 2009 and 2010. We recorded deferred revenue for receipt of a one-time fee of approximately $1 million for our
services to own and manage the hedge positions and to deliver the natural gas.
Note
11Income Taxes
Our U.S. and Canadian subsidiaries are not taxable entities in the U.S. and are not subject
to U.S. federal or state income taxes as the tax effect of operations is passed through to
our unitholders. However, certain of our Canadian subsidiaries are taxable entities in
Canada and are subject to Canadian federal and provincial income taxes.
We adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48 Accounting for Uncertainty in
Income Taxes (FIN 48), an interpretation of SFAS No. 109 on January 1, 2007. As a
result of the implementation of FIN 48, we recognized no material adjustment in the
liability for unrecognized income tax benefits and at March 31, 2007, we have no material adjustments for unrecognized tax benefits.
We recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax
expense. As of March 31, 2007, we have no material adjustments for accrued interest
related to uncertain tax positions.
We file income tax returns in the Canadian federal and various provincial jurisdictions.
Generally, we are no longer subject to Canadian federal and provincial income tax
examinations for years before 2004.
Note 12Commitments and Contingencies
Litigation
Pipeline Releases. In January 2005 and December 2004, we experienced two unrelated releases
of crude oil that reached rivers located near the sites where the releases originated. In early
January 2005, an overflow from a temporary storage tank located in East Texas resulted in the
release of approximately 1,200 barrels of crude oil, a portion of which reached the Sabine River.
In late December 2004, one of our pipelines in West Texas experienced a rupture that resulted in
the release of approximately 4,500 barrels of crude oil, a portion of which reached a remote
location of the Pecos River. In both cases, emergency response personnel under the supervision of a
unified command structure consisting of representatives of Plains, the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (the EPA), the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality and the Texas Railroad
Commission conducted clean-up operations at each site. Approximately 980 and 4,200 barrels were
recovered from the two respective sites. The unrecovered oil was removed or otherwise addressed by
us in the course of site remediation. Aggregate costs associated with the releases, including
estimated remediation costs, are estimated to be approximately $3.0 million to $3.5 million. In
cooperation with the appropriate state and federal environmental authorities, we have substantially
completed our work with respect to site restoration, subject to some ongoing remediation at the
Pecos River site. EPA has referred these two crude oil releases, as well as several other smaller
releases, to the U.S. Department of Justice (the DOJ) for further investigation in connection
with a possible civil penalty enforcement action under the Federal Clean Water Act. We are
cooperating in the investigation. Our assessment is that it is probable we will pay penalties
related to the two releases. We have accrued the estimated loss contingency, which is included in the
estimated aggregate costs set forth above. It is reasonably possible that the loss contingency may
exceed our estimate with respect to penalties assessed by the DOJ; however, we have no indication
from EPA or the DOJ of what penalties might be sought. As a result, we are unable to estimate the
range of a reasonably possible loss contingency in excess of our accrual.

On November 15, 2006, we completed the acquisition of Pacific. The following is a summary of
the more significant matters that relate to Pacific, its assets or operations.
The People of the State of California v. Pacific Pipeline System, LLC (PPS). In March 2005,
a release of approximately 3,400 barrels of crude oil occurred on Line 63, subsequently acquired by
us in the Pacific merger. The release occurred when Line 63 was severed as a result of a landslide
caused by heavy rainfall in the Pyramid Lake area of Los Angeles
County. Total projected emergency response,
remediation and restoration costs are approximately $26 million, substantially all of which had been incurred as of March 31, 2007.
We expect to incur the remaining costs before the end of 2007. We anticipate that the majority of costs
associated with this release will be covered under a pre-existing PPS pollution liability insurance
policy.
In March 2006, PPS, a subsidiary acquired in the Pacific merger, was served with a four count
misdemeanor criminal action in the Los Angeles Superior Court Case No. 6NW01020, which alleges the
violation by PPS of two strict liability statutes under the California Fish and Game Code for the
unlawful deposit of oil or substances harmful to wildlife into the environment, and violations of
two sections of the California Water Code for the willful and intentional discharge of pollution
into state waters. The fines that can be assessed against PPS for the violations of the strict
liability statutes are based, in large measure, on the volume of unrecovered crude oil that was
released into the environment, and, therefore, the maximum state fine, if any, that can be assessed
is estimated to be approximately $1,100,000 in the aggregate. This
amount is subject to a downward adjustment with respect to actual volumes of recovered crude oil,
and the State of California has the discretion to further reduce the fine, if any, after
considering other mitigating factors. Because of the uncertainty associated with these factors, the
final amount of the fine that will be assessed for the strict liability offenses cannot be
ascertained. We will defend against these charges. In addition to these fines, the State of
California has indicated that it may seek to recover approximately $150,000 in natural resource damages against PPS in connection with this matter. The mitigating
factors may also serve as a basis for a downward adjustment of the natural resource damages amount.
We believe that certain of the alleged violations are without merit and intend to defend against
them, and that mitigating factors should apply.
The EPA has referred this matter to the DOJ for the initiation of proceedings to assess civil
penalties against PPS. We understand that the maximum permissible penalty, if any, that the EPA
could assess under relevant statutes would be approximately $3.7 million. We believe that several
mitigating circumstances and factors exist that could substantially reduce any penalty that might
be imposed by the EPA, and intend to pursue discussions with the EPA regarding such mitigating
circumstances and factors. Because of the uncertainty associated with these factors, the final
amount of the penalty that will be assessed by the EPA cannot be ascertained. Discussions with the
DOJ to resolve this matter have commenced.

Kosseff v. Pacific Energy, et al, case no. BC 3544016. On June 15, 2006, a lawsuit was filed
in the Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles, in which the plaintiff alleged that he
was a unitholder of Pacific and he sought to represent a class comprising all of Pacifics
unitholders. The complaint named as defendants Pacific and certain of the officers and directors of
Pacifics general partner, and asserted claims of self-dealing and breach of fiduciary duty in
connection with the pending merger with us and related transactions. The plaintiff sought
injunctive relief against completing the merger or, if the merger was completed, rescission of the
merger, other equitable relief, and recovery of the plaintiffs costs and attorneys fees. On
September 14, 2006, Pacific and the other defendants entered into a memorandum of settlement with
the plaintiff to settle the lawsuit. As part of the settlement, Pacific and the other defendants
deny all allegations of wrongdoing and express willingness to settle the lawsuit solely because the
settlement would eliminate the burden and expense of further litigation. The settlement is subject
to customary conditions, including court approval. As part of the settlement, we (as successor to
Pacific) will pay approximately $0.5 million to the plaintiffs counsel for their fees and
expenses, and incur the cost of mailing materials to former Pacific unitholders. The court has
preliminarily approved the settlement and a notice of settlement has been sent to the class
members. If finally approved by the court, the settlement will resolve all claims that were or
could have been brought on behalf of the proposed settlement class in the actions being settled,
including all claims relating to the merger, the merger agreement and any disclosure made by
Pacific in connection with the merger. The settlement did not change any of the terms or conditions
of the merger.
Pacific Atlantic Terminals. In connection with the Pacific merger, we acquired Pacific
Atlantic Terminals LLC (PAT), which is now one of our subsidiaries. PAT owns crude oil and
refined products terminals in northern California and in the Philadelphia metropolitan area. In the
process of integrating PATs assets into our operations, we identified certain aspects of the
operations at the California terminals that appeared to be out of compliance with specifications
under the relevant air quality permit. We conducted a prompt review of the circumstances and
self-reported the apparent historical occurrences of non-compliance to the Bay Area Air Quality
Management District. We are cooperating with the Districts review of these matters.
Other Pacific-Legacy Matters. Pacific had completed a number of acquisitions that had not been
fully integrated prior to the merger with Plains. Accordingly, we have and may become aware of other
matters involving the assets and operations acquired in the Pacific merger as they relate to
compliance with environmental and safety regulations, which matters may result in the imposition of
fines and penalties. For example, we have been informed by the EPA that terminals owned by Rocky
Mountain Pipeline Systems LLC, one of the subsidiaries acquired in the Pacific merger, are
purportedly out of compliance with certain regulatory documentation requirements.
General. We, in the ordinary course of business, are a claimant and/or a defendant in various
legal proceedings. To the extent we are able to assess the likelihood of a negative outcome for
these proceedings, our assessments of such likelihood range from remote to probable. If we
determine that a negative outcome is probable and the amount of loss is reasonably estimable, we
accrue the estimated amount. We do not believe that the outcome of these legal proceedings,
individually and in the aggregate, will have a materially adverse effect on our financial
condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Environmental. We have in the past experienced and in the future likely will experience
releases of crude oil into the environment from our pipeline and storage operations. We also may
discover environmental impacts from past releases that were previously unidentified. Although we
maintain an inspection program designed to prevent and, as applicable, to detect and address such
releases promptly, damages and liabilities incurred due to any such environmental releases from our
assets may substantially affect our business. As we expand our pipeline assets through
acquisitions, we typically improve on (decrease) the rate of releases from such assets as we
implement our standards and procedures, remove selected assets from service and spend capital to
upgrade the assets. In the immediate post-acquisition period, however, the inclusion of additional
miles of pipe in our operation may result in an increase in the absolute number of releases
company-wide compared to prior periods. We experienced such an increase in connection with the
Pacific acquisition, which added approximately 5,000 miles of pipeline to our operations, and in
connection with the purchase of assets from Link Energy LLC in April 2004, which added
approximately 7,000 miles of pipeline to our operations. As a result, we have also received an
increased number of requests for information from governmental agencies with respect to such
releases of crude oil (such as EPA requests under Clean Water Act Section 308), commensurate with
the scale and scope of our pipeline operations. See Pipeline Releases above.
At March 31, 2007, our reserve for environmental liabilities totaled approximately $36.6
million. At March 31, 2007, we have recorded receivables totaling approximately $9.7 million for
amounts which are probable of recovery under insurance and from third parties under indemnification
agreements. Although we believe our reserve is adequate, no assurance can be given that any costs
incurred in excess of this reserve would not have a material adverse effect on our financial
condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Other. A pipeline, terminal or other facility may experience damage as a result of an
accident or natural disaster. These hazards can cause personal injury and loss of life, severe
damage to and destruction of property and equipment, pollution or environmental damage and
suspension of operations. We maintain insurance of various types that we consider adequate to cover
our operations and properties. The insurance covers our assets in amounts considered reasonable.
The insurance policies are subject to deductibles that we consider reasonable and not excessive.
Our insurance does not cover every potential risk associated with operating pipelines, terminals
and other facilities, including the potential loss of significant revenues. The overall trend in
the environmental insurance industry appears to be a contraction in the breadth and depth of
available coverage, while costs, deductibles and retention levels have increased. Absent a material
favorable change in the environmental insurance markets, this trend is expected to continue as we continue to
grow and expand. As a result, we anticipate that we will elect to
self-insure more of our environmental activities or
incorporate higher retention in our insurance arrangements.
18
The occurrence of a significant event not fully insured, indemnified or reserved against, or
the failure of a party to meet its indemnification obligations, could materially and adversely
affect our operations and financial condition. We believe we are adequately insured for public
liability and property damage to others with respect to our operations. With respect to all of our
coverage, no assurance can be given that we will be able to maintain adequate insurance in the
future at rates we consider reasonable, or that we have established adequate reserves to the extent
that such risks are not insured.
Note 13Operating Segments
In
the fourth quarter of 2006, we revised
the manner in which we internally evaluate our segment performance and decide how to allocate
resources to our segments. Prior period disclosures have been revised to reflect our change in segments.
Our operations are conducted through three operating segments: (i) Transportation, (ii)
Facilities and (iii) Marketing. We evaluate segment performance based on segment profit and
maintenance capital. We define segment profit as revenues and equity in earnings of unconsolidated
entities less (i) purchases and related costs, (ii) field operating costs and (iii) segment general
and administrative (G&A) expenses. Each of the items above excludes depreciation and
amortization. As a master limited partnership, we make quarterly distributions of our available
cash (as defined in our partnership agreement) to our unitholders. Therefore, we look at each
periods earnings before non-cash depreciation and amortization as an important measure of segment
performance. The exclusion of depreciation and amortization expense could be viewed as limiting the
usefulness of segment profit as a performance measure because it does not account in current
periods for the implied reduction in value of our capital assets, such as crude oil pipelines and
facilities, caused by aging and wear and tear. Management compensates for this limitation by
recognizing that depreciation and amortization are largely offset by repair and maintenance costs,
which mitigate the actual decline in the value of our principal fixed assets. These maintenance
costs are a component of field operating costs included in segment profit or in maintenance
capital, depending on the nature of the cost. Maintenance capital, which is deducted in determining
available cash, consists of capital expenditures required either to maintain the existing
operating capacity of partially or fully depreciated assets or to extend their useful lives.
Capital expenditures made to expand our existing capacity, whether through construction or
acquisition, are considered expansion capital expenditures, not maintenance capital. Repair and
maintenance expenditures associated with existing assets that do not extend the useful life or
expand the operating capacity are charged to expense as incurred. The following tables reflect
certain financial data for each segment for the periods indicated:

Note 14Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159 The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and
Financial Liabilities including an amendment of FAS 115 (SFAS 159). SFAS 159 allows entities
to choose, at specified election dates, to measure eligible financial assets and liabilities at
fair value in situations in which they are not otherwise required to be measured at fair value. If
a company elects the fair value option for an eligible item, changes in that items fair value in
subsequent reporting periods must be recognized in current earnings. The provisions of SFAS 159
will be effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. We are evaluating the impact
of adoption of SFAS 159 but do not currently expect the adoption to have a material impact on our
financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In
December 2006, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position EITF 00-19-2:
Accounting for Registration Payment Arrangements (the
FSP). The FSP specifies that the contingent obligation to
make future payments under a registration payment arrangement should
be separately recognized and measured in accordance with FASB
Statement No. 5 Accounting for Contingencies. The FSP was
effective immediately for registration payment arrangements and the
financial instruments subject to those arrangements entered into or
modified subsequent to December 21, 2006. For registration payment
arrangements and for the financial instruments subject to those
arrangements that were entered into prior to December 21, 2006, the
FSP is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006.
At March 31, 2007, we did not have any material contingent
obligations under registration payment arrangements.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157). SFAS
157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires enhanced
disclosures regarding fair value measurements. SFAS 157 does not add any new fair value
measurements, but it does change current practice and is intended to increase consistency and
comparability in such measurement. The provisions of SFAS 157 will be effective for financial
statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within
those fiscal years. The impact, if any, from the adoption of SFAS 157 in 2008 will
depend on our assets and liabilities that are required to be measured at fair value at
that time.
In
July 2006, the FASB issued FIN 48 which clarifies the
accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprises financial statements in
accordance with SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. FIN 48 also prescribes a recognition
threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a
tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. In addition, FIN 48 provides guidance
on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure
and transition. The provisions of FIN 48 are to be applied to all tax positions upon initial
adoption of this standard. Only tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold at the
effective date may be recognized or continue to be recognized as an adjustment to the opening
balance of retained earnings (or other appropriate components of equity) for that fiscal year. The
provisions of FIN 48 were effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The adoption of FIN 48 did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of
operations or cash flows. See Note 11.
In June 2006, the EITF issued Issue No. 06-3 (EITF 06-3),
How Taxes Collected from Customers and Remitted to Governmental
Authorities Should Be Presented in the Income Statement (That Is,
Gross versus Net presentation). EITF 06-3 is effective for
all periods beginning after December 15, 2006 and its
scope includes any tax that is assessed by a governmental
authority that is both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction between a seller and a customer. The EITF stated that it is an entitys accounting policy decision whether to
present the taxes on a gross basis (within revenues and costs) or on a net basis (excluded from revenues) but
that the accounting policy should be disclosed. If presented on a gross basis, an entity is required to report the amount of such taxes for each period for which
an income statement is presented, if those amounts are significant.
Our accounting policy is to present such taxes on a net basis.

Item 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Introduction
The following discussion is intended to provide investors with an understanding of our
financial condition and results of our operations and should be read in conjunction with our
historical consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. For more detailed information
regarding the basis of presentation for the following financial information, see the Notes to the
Consolidated Financial Statements.
Highlights First Quarter of 2007
Net
income for the first quarter of 2007 was approximately $85 million,
or $0.61 per
diluted limited partner unit, which is an increase of 34% and a
decrease of 14%, respectively, over net income
of $63 million, or $0.71 per diluted limited partner unit for the first quarter of 2006.
Earnings per limited partner unit (both basic and diluted) was reduced by $0.04
for the three months ended March 31, 2006, attributable to the application
of Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 03-06, Participating Securities and the Two-Class
Method under Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)
Statement No. 128. There was no impact of EITF 03-06 for the three months ended March 31, 2007. See Note 6 to our
Consolidated Financial Statements.
Key items impacting the first three months of 2007 include:
Balance
Sheet and Capital Structure
|
|
|
The completion of two acquisitions for aggregate consideration of approximately $17
million. |
|
|
|
|
Capital expenditures for internal growth
projects of $131 million for the first quarter of 2007,
which represents approximately 26% of
the 2007 planned expansion capital expenditures. |
Income Statement
|
|
|
|
Contributions from the November 2006 acquisition of
Pacific Energy Partners L.P. (Pacific) as well as
eight additional 2006 acquisitions. |
|
|
|
|
Increased volumes and related tariff revenues on our pipeline systems. |
|
|
|
|
Favorable execution of our risk management strategies around our marketing assets
in a pronounced contango market with a high level of overall crude oil volatility. |
|
|
|
|
Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTIP) expense of $19 million (compared to
approximately $10 million for the
first quarter of 2006), including a catch-up expense of approximately
$8 million associated with an increase in the price of the units. |
|
|
|
|
An increase in costs and expenses primarily associated with our continued growth
from internal growth projects and acquisitions. |
|
|
|
|
An approximate $4 million gain on the sale of a portion
of our stock ownership in the NYMEX. |
|
|
|
|
A loss of approximately
$17 million related to the mark-to-market impact for derivative instruments (compared to
$1 million for the first quarter of 2006). |

The amount for the first quarter of 2007 includes purchase
price adjustments of approximately $7 million related to 2006
acquisitions. |
|
(2) |
|
During the first quarter of 2006 we paid approximately $17 million into escrow for an
acquisition that closed in April 2006. |
Acquisitions
During the first quarter of 2007, we acquired (i) certain commercial refined products supply
and marketing businesses (which are reflected in our
marketing segment) for approximately $8 million in cash (including approximately $7 million of goodwill) and (ii) a trucking
business (which is reflected in our transportation segment) for
approximately $9 million in cash (including approximately $4 million of goodwill). Also,
during the first quarter of 2007, we signed an agreement to acquire the Bumstead LPG storage
facility located near Phoenix, Arizona for approximately $52 million. The acquisition is expected
to close early in the second half of 2007 and will be reflected in our facilities segment.
Internal Growth Projects
Capital expenditures for expansion projects are forecast to be approximately $500 million
during calendar 2007, of which approximately $131 million was incurred in the first three months.
These projects include the construction and expansion of pipeline systems and crude oil and LPG
storage facilities. Following are some of the more notable projects to be undertaken in 2007 and

Transportation
As of March 31, 2007, we owned active gathering and mainline crude oil and refined products
pipelines located throughout the United States and Canada as well as active above-ground crude oil,
refined products and LPG storage tanks, of which approximately half are utilized in our
transportation segment. Our activities from transportation operations generally consist of
(i) transporting crude oil and refined products for a fee; (ii) third-party leases of pipeline capacity
(collectively referred to as tariff activities); (iii) the transportation of crude oil for third
parties for a fee using our trucks; and (iv) barge
transportation services provided
by Settoon Towing (we own a 50% equity investment in Settoon Towing). Our transportation segment also includes our equity
in earnings from our minority interests in the Butte and Frontier pipeline systems. In connection with certain of our
merchant activities conducted under our marketing business, we are also shippers on a number of our
own pipelines. These transactions are conducted at published tariff rates and eliminated in
consolidation. Tariffs and other fees on our pipeline systems vary by receipt point and delivery
point. The segment profit generated by our tariff and other fee-related activities depends on the
volumes transported on the pipeline and the level of the tariff and other fees charged as well as
the fixed and variable costs of operating the pipeline. Segment profit from our pipeline
capacity leases generally reflects a negotiated amount.

periods indicated:

Segment profit, our primary measure of segment performance, was impacted in the first
quarter of 2007 compared to the first quarter of 2006 by the following:
|
|
|
Increased volumes and related tariff revenues The increase in tariff revenues resulted
from (i) higher volumes primarily from multi-year contracts on our Basin and Capline systems entered
into during the second quarter of 2006, (ii) increased volumes associated with the
acquisition of systems in the second, third and fourth quarters of 2006, (iii) higher
volumes on various other systems, (iv) an annual tariff escalation,
and (v) increased revenues from loss allowance oil. As is
common in the industry, our crude oil tariffs incorporate a loss allowance factor that is
intended to offset losses due to evaporation, measurement and other losses in transit. The
loss allowance factor averages approximately 0.2%, by volume. We value the variance of
allowance volumes to actual losses at the average market value at the time the variance
occurred and the result is recorded as either an increase or decrease to tariff revenues.
Gains or losses on subsequent sales of allowance oil barrels are also included in tariff
revenues. Increased volumes during the first quarter of 2007 as compared to the first
quarter of 2006 have resulted in increased revenues related to loss allowance oil. |
|
|
|
|
Increased field operating costs Field operating costs have increased for most
categories of costs for the first quarter of 2007 compared to the first quarter of 2006 as
we have continued to grow through acquisitions and expansion projects. The most significant
cost increases in the first quarter of 2007 have been related to (i) payroll and benefits,
(ii) utilities, (iii) pipeline integrity work, and (iv) property taxes. Payroll and benefits increased approximately
$7 million primarily due to the 2006 acquisitions. |
|
|
|
|
Increased segment G&A expenses Segment G&A expenses excluding LTIP charges increased
in the first quarter of 2007 compared to the first quarter of 2006
primarily due to payroll and
benefits relating to our growth through acquisitions. |
|
|
|
|
Increased LTIP expenses LTIP charges included in field operating costs and segment G&A
expenses increased approximately $4 million in the first quarter of 2007 over the first
quarter of 2006, primarily as a result of additional units issued and an increase in our unit price to $57.61 at March
31, 2007 from $51.20 at December 31, 2006. The first quarter of
2007 includes a catch-up expense associated with the increase in the
price of the units. See Note 8 to our Consolidated Financial
Statements. |
In the first quarter of 2007, average daily volumes from our tariff activities increased by
approximately 800,000 barrels per day or 44% and tariff revenues increased by approximately
$58 million or 60%. The increase in volumes and tariff revenues is attributable to a combination of
the following factors:
|
|
|
|
Pipeline systems acquired or brought into service during the last nine
months of 2006, which contributed approximately 714,000 barrels per day
and $45 million of revenues during the first quarter of 2007; |
|
|
|
|
Volumes and revenues from pipeline systems in which we entered into new multi-year
contracts with shippers; and |
|
|
|
|
An increase of approximately $2 million from our loss allowance oil primarily resulting
from increased volumes. |
Facilities
As of March 31, 2007, we owned active above-ground crude oil, refined products and LPG storage
tanks, of which approximately half are included in our facilities segment. The remaining tanks are
utilized in our transportation segment. At March 31, 2007, we were in the process of
constructing additional above ground terminalling and storage facilities, which we expect to place
in service during the remainder of 2007 and during 2008.
26
Our facilities segment operations generally consist of fee-based activities associated with providing
storage, terminalling and throughput services for crude oil, refined products and LPG, as well as
LPG fractionation and isomerization services. On a stand-alone basis, segment profit from facilities activities is dependent on the storage capacity leased, volume
of throughput and the level of fees for such services.
We generate fees through a combination of month-to-month and multi-year leases and processing
arrangements with third parties and with our marketing segment. Fees generated in this segment
include (i) storage fees that are generated when we lease tank capacity and (ii) terminalling fees,
or throughput fees, that are generated when we receive crude oil or refined products from one
connecting pipeline and redeliver crude oil or refined products to another connecting carrier.
Our facilities segment also includes our
equity earnings from our investment in PAA/Vulcan Gas Storage, LLC
(PAA/Vulcan).
Total revenues for our facilities segment in 2007 have increased compared to 2006. The revenue
increase is driven primarily by increased volumes resulting from our acquisition activities and, to
a lesser extent, tankage construction projects completed in 2006 and 2007.

periods indicated:

27
Segment profit (our primary measure of segment performance) and revenues were impacted in
the first quarter of 2007 by the following:
|
|
|
Increased storage and terminalling revenues from crude facilities The increase in
volumes and related revenues during the first quarter of 2007 primarily relates to (i) the
acquisition of Pacific in the fourth quarter of 2006 and
other acquisitions completed during 2006, (ii) the utilization of capacity at the Mobile
facility that was acquired from Link in 2004 but not used extensively until the last nine
months of 2006, and (iii) additional capacity resulting from the St. James construction
project, which was placed in early stage operation in early 2007; |
|
|
|
|
Increased storage and terminalling revenues from LPG facilities The increase in
volumes and related revenues during the first quarter of 2007 primarily relates to
expansions completed during 2006; |
|
|
|
|
Revenues from refined product storage and terminalling
We had no revenue from refined products storage and
terminalling until the acquisition of Pacific, which contributed additional revenues of approximately $10 million
in the first quarter of 2007; and |
|
|
|
|
Increased revenues from LPG processing The acquisition of the Shafter processing
facility during the second quarter of 2006 resulted in additional processing revenues of
approximately $8 million for the first quarter of 2007. |
Segment profit was also impacted in the first quarter of 2007 by the following:
|
|
|
Increased field operating costs Our continued growth, primarily from the acquisitions
completed during 2007 and 2006 and the additional tankage added in 2007 and 2006, is the
principal cause of the increase in field operating costs in the first quarter of 2007. Of
the total increase, $4 million relates to the operating costs associated with the Shafter
processing facility, which we acquired in the second quarter of 2006
and $7 million relates to the operating costs associated with
the Pacific acquisition. The remainder of the
increase in operating costs primarily relate to (i) payroll and benefits, (ii) maintenance
and (iii) utilities; |
|
|
|
|
Increased segment G&A expenses Segment G&A expenses excluding LTIP charges increased
in the first quarter of 2007 compared to the same period in 2006, primarily as a result of an
increase in payroll and benefits in the first quarter of
2007 as the operations have grown since the first quarter of 2006; |
|
|
|
|
Increased LTIP expenses LTIP charges included in field operating costs and segment G&A
expenses increased approximately $1 million in the first quarter of 2007 over the first
quarter of 2006, primarily as a result of additional units issued and an increase in our unit price to $57.61 at March
31, 2007 from $51.20 at December 31, 2006. The first quarter of
2007 includes a catch-up expense associated with the increase in the
price of the units. See Note 8 to our Consolidated Financial
Statements; and |
|
|
|
|
Increased equity earnings in unconsolidated entities Our investment in PAA/Vulcan
contributed approximately $3 million in additional earnings,
reflecting increased value for storage leased. |
Marketing
Our revenues from marketing activities reflect the sale of gathered and bulk-purchased crude
oil, refined products and LPG volumes. These revenues also include the marketing of natural gas
liquids, plus the sale of additional barrels exchanged through buy/sell arrangements entered into
to supplement the margins of the gathered and bulk-purchased volumes. Because the commodities that
we buy and sell are generally indexed to the same pricing indices for both the purchase and the
sale, revenues and costs related to purchases will increase and decrease with changes in market
prices. However, the margins related to those purchases and sales will not necessarily have
corresponding increases and decreases. We do not anticipate that future changes in revenues will be
a primary driver of segment profit. Generally, we expect our segment profit to increase or decrease
directionally with increases or decreases in our marketing segment volumes (which consist of (i)
lease gathered crude oil volumes, (ii) refined products volumes, (iii) LPG sales volumes, and (iv) waterborne foreign crude imported
volumes), as well as the overall volatility and strength or weakness of market conditions and the
allocation of our assets among our various risk management strategies. In addition, the execution of our risk
management strategies in conjunction with our assets can
28
provide upside in certain markets.
Although we believe that the combination of our lease gathered
business and our risk management activities
provides a counter-cyclical balance that provides stability in our margins, these margins are not
fixed and will vary from period to period.
In order to evaluate the performance of this segment, management focuses on the following
metrics: (i) segment profit, (ii) marketing segment volumes and (iii) segment profit per barrel
calculated on these volumes. The following table sets forth our operating results from our
marketing segment for the comparable periods indicated:

Our first quarter 2007 revenues decreased compared to the
first quarter of 2006 due to the adoption in the second quarter of 2006 of EITF
Issue No. 04-13 Accounting for Purchases and Sales of Inventory with the Same Counterparty
(EITF 04-13). According to EITF 04-13, inventory purchases and sales transactions with the
same counterparty should be combined for accounting purposes if they were entered into in
contemplation of each other. The adoption of EITF 04-13 in the second quarter of 2006
resulted in inventory purchases and sales under buy/sell transactions, which historically
would have been recorded gross as purchases and sales, to be treated as inventory exchanges
in our consolidated statement of operations. The treatment of buy/sell transactions under
EITF 04-13 reduces both revenues and purchases on our income statement but does not impact
our financial position, net income, or liquidity. |
The primary factors affecting revenues and segment profit were:
|
|
|
|
Acquisitions During the last nine months of 2006 we purchased certain crude oil
gathering assets and related contracts in South Louisiana, and completed the acquisitions of
Pacific and Andrews Petroleum and Lone Star Trucking (Andrews). |
|
|
|
|
Favorable market conditions and execution of our risk management strategies During the
first quarter of 2007 and the first quarter of 2006, the crude oil market experienced
significantly high volatility in prices and market structure. The NYMEX benchmark price of
crude oil ranged from $49.90 to $68.09 during the first quarter of 2007. The volatile market
allowed us to utilize risk management strategies to optimize and enhance the margins of our
gathering and marketing activities. The volatile market also led to
favorable basis differentials for various delivery
points and grades of crude oil. The market was in contango for the first quarter
of 2007 and the monthly time spread of prices averaged approximately $1.21 versus $1.14 for the
first quarter of 2006; this increase in spreads was partially offset by an increase in the
per barrel cost to carry the inventory that was impacted by the increase in LIBOR rates.
Marketing segment profit is net of contango and other hedged inventory related interest
expense (which is incurred to store the
crude oil) of approximately $11.2 million for the first quarter
of 2007 (compared to $8.6 million in the first quarter of 2006). This cost is included in Purchases and related costs in the table above. |
|
|
|
|
SFAS 133 mark-to-market The first quarter of 2007 includes SFAS 133 mark-to-market
losses of $17.0 million compared to a loss of $0.7 million for the first quarter of 2006.
See Note 9 to our Consolidated Financial Statements. |
|
|
|
|
Field operating costs and segment G&A expenses Field operating costs (excluding LTIP
charges) increased in the first quarter of 2007 compared to the first quarter of 2006,
primarily as a result of increases in payroll and benefits and contract transportation
as a result of 2006 acquisitions and changes in driver incentive programs.
The increase in general and administrative expenses (excluding
LTIP charges) is primarily the result of an increase in the payroll and benefits, and indirect costs allocated to the
marketing segment in the first quarter of 2007 as the operations have grown. |
|
|
|
|
Increased LTIP expenses LTIP charges included in field operating costs and segment G&A
expenses increased approximately $3 million in the first quarter of 2007 over the first
quarter of 2006, primarily as a result of additional phantom units issued and an increase in our unit price to $57.61 at March
31, 2007 from $51.20 at December 31, 2006. The first quarter of
2007 includes a catch-up expense associated with the increase in the
price of the units. See Note 8 to our Consolidated Financial
Statements. |
Segment profit per barrel (calculated based on our marketing volumes included in the table above)
was $0.83 for the first quarter of 2007, compared to $0.79 for the first quarter of 2006. As
discussed above, our current period results were impacted by (i) SFAS 133 mark-to-market losses of $17
million, the majority of which relates to inventory hedges and will be offset by gains in future periods when
the physical inventory is sold, (ii) favorable market conditions and
(iii) a change in the business mix to include the
Pacific and
30
Andrews acquisitions. We are not able to predict with any reasonable level of accuracy
whether market conditions will remain as favorable as we have recently experienced, and these
operating results may not be indicative of sustainable performance.
Other Expenses
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization expense increased $18.3 million for the first quarter of 2007
compared to the comparable 2006 period primarily as a result of a continued expansion in our asset
base from acquisitions and internal growth projects. Amortization of debt issue costs totaled
approximately $1 million for the first three months of
2007 and was relatively constant compared to the same period in 2006.
Interest Expense
Interest expense is primarily impacted by:
|
|
|
our average debt balances; |
|
|
|
|
the level and maturity of fixed rate debt and interest rates associated therewith; and |
|
|
|
|
market interest rates and our interest rate hedging activities on floating rate debt. |
Interest expense increased approximately 169% in the first quarter of 2007, as compared to the
first of 2006, primarily due to higher average debt balances during 2007 partially offset by
increased capitalized interest associated with certain capital projects under construction. The
higher average debt balance in the first three months of 2007 was primarily related to the addition
or assumption of $1.7 billion of senior notes in the last nine
months of 2006 to finance acquisitions. Our financial growth
strategy is to fund our acquisitions and expansion capital expenditures using approximately 50%
debt, with the balance funded through retained cash flow and equity issuances.
Interest costs attributable to borrowings for inventory stored in a contango market are
included in purchases and related costs in our marketing segment profit as we consider interest on
these borrowings a direct cost to storing the inventory. These borrowings are primarily under our
senior secured hedged inventory facility. These costs were
approximately $11.2 million and $8.6
million for the first quarter of 2007 and the first quarter of 2006, respectively.
Outlook
This section identifies certain matters of risk and uncertainty that may affect our financial
performance and results of operations in the future.
Ongoing Acquisition Activities. Consistent with our business strategy, we are continuously
engaged in discussions regarding potential acquisitions by us of transportation, gathering,
terminalling or storage assets and related midstream businesses. These acquisition efforts often
involve assets that, if acquired, could have a material effect on our financial condition and
results of operations. In an effort to prudently and economically leverage our asset base,
knowledge base and skill sets, management has also expanded its efforts to encompass midstream
businesses outside of the scope of our current operations, but with respect to which these
resources effectively can be applied. For example, during the first quarter of 2007, we entered the
refined products marketing business and during 2006 we entered the refined products transportation
and storage business as well as the barge transportation business. We are presently engaged in
discussions and negotiations with various parties regarding the acquisition of assets and
businesses described above, but we can give no assurance that our current or future acquisition
efforts will be successful or that any such acquisition will be completed on terms considered
favorable to us.
31
Pipeline
Integrity and Storage Tank Testing Compliance. Although we
believe our previously disclosed short-term
estimates of costs under the pipeline integrity management rules and API 653 (and similar
regulations in Canada) are reasonable, a high degree of uncertainty exists with respect to
estimating such costs, as we continue to test existing assets and as we acquire additional assets.
In our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, we reported that the DOT
will be issuing by December 31, 2007, new regulations governing hazardous liquid pipelines operated
at low stress. We do not currently know what, if any, impact these developments will have on our
operating expenses and, thus, cannot provide any assurances that future costs related to these
programs will not be material.
Longer-Term Outlook. In our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006,
we identified certain trends, factors and developments, many of which are beyond our control, that
may affect our business in the future. We believe the collective impact of these trends, factors
and developments will result in an increasingly volatile crude oil market that is subject to more
frequent short-term swings in market prices and grade differentials and shifts in market structure.
In an environment of tight supply and demand balances, even relatively minor supply disruptions can
cause significant price swings, which were evident in 2005 and 2006. Conversely, despite a
relatively balanced market on a global basis, competition within a given region of the U.S. could
cause downward pricing pressure and significantly impact regional crude oil price differentials
among crude oil grades and locations. Although we believe our business strategy is designed to
manage these trends, factors and potential developments, and that we are strategically positioned
to benefit from certain of these developments, there can be no assurance that we will not be
negatively affected.
We are also regularly evaluating midstream businesses that are complementary to our existing
businesses and that possess attractive long-term growth prospects. Through PAA/Vulcans acquisition
of ECI in 2005, the Partnership entered the natural gas storage business. During 2006, we entered
the refined products transportation and storage business. We intend to grow both of these areas of
our business through future acquisitions and expansion projects. We also intend to apply our
business model to the refined products business by expanding a recently acquired marketing and
distribution business to complement our strategically located assets.
32
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity
Cash flow from operations and our credit
facilities are our primary sources of liquidity. At
March 31, 2007, we had a working capital deficit of
approximately $41 million, approximately $1.4 billion of availability under our
committed revolving credit facilities and approximately $0.4 billion of availability under our
uncommitted hedged inventory facility. Our working capital decreased
approximately $174 million in the first quarter of 2007. See Cash flow from
operations, below, for discussion of the relationship between
working capital items and our short-term borrowings. Usage of the credit facilities is subject to ongoing
compliance with covenants. We believe we are currently in compliance with all covenants.
Cash flow from operations
The crude oil market was in contango for the first quarter of 2007 and for much of 2006.
Because we own crude oil storage capacity, during a contango market we can buy crude oil in the
current month and simultaneously hedge the crude by selling it forward for delivery in a subsequent
month. This activity can cause significant fluctuations in our cash flow from operating activities
as described below.
The primary drivers of cash flow from our operations are (i) the collection of amounts related
to the sale of crude oil and other products, the transportation of crude oil and other products for
a fee, and storage and terminalling services, and (ii) the payment of amounts related to the
purchase of crude oil and other products and other expenses, principally field operating costs and
general and administrative expenses. The cash settlement from the purchase and sale of crude oil
during any particular month typically occurs within thirty days from the end of the month, except
(i) in the months that we store the purchased crude oil and hedge it by selling it forward for
delivery in a subsequent month because of contango market conditions or (ii) in months in which we
increase our share of linefill in third party pipelines. The storage of crude oil in periods of a
contango market can have a material negative impact on our cash flows from operating activities for
the period in which we pay for and store the crude oil and a material positive impact in the
subsequent period in which we receive proceeds from the sale of the crude oil. In the month we pay
for the stored crude oil, we borrow under our credit facilities (or pay from cash on hand) to pay
for the crude oil, which negatively impacts our operating cash flow. Conversely, cash flow from
operating activities increases during the period in which we collect the cash from the sale of the
stored crude oil. Similarly, but to a lesser extent, the level of LPG and other product inventory
stored and held for resale at period end affects our cash flow from operating activities.
In periods when the market is not in contango, we typically sell our crude oil during the same
month in which we purchase it. Our accounts payable and accounts receivable generally vary
proportionately because we make payments and receive payments for the purchase and sale of crude
oil in the same month, which is the month following such activity. However, when the market is in
contango, our accounts receivable, accounts payable, inventory and short-term debt balances are all
impacted, depending on the point of the cycle at any particular period end. As a result, we can
have significant fluctuations in those working capital accounts, as we buy, store and sell crude
oil.
Our
cash flow provided by operating activities
in the first quarter of 2007 was $371.7 million
compared to cash used in operating activities of $457.6 million in the first quarter of 2006. This
change reflects cash generated by our recurring operations in
addition to a decrease in certain
working capital items of approximately $218.0 million. In the first
quarter of 2007, although the market was
in contango, due to the sale of some of our LPG inventory (resulting
from customers heating requirements in the winter months), and
due to the timing of receipts and deliveries of crude oil, we
decreased our storage of crude oil and LPG and made repayments under
our credit facilities, resulting in a positive impact on our cash flows from
operating activities for the period, as explained above.
33
Cash provided by equity and debt financing activities
We periodically access the capital markets for both equity and debt financing. We have filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission a universal shelf registration statement that, subject
to effectiveness at the time of use, allows us to issue from time to time up to an aggregate of $2
billion of debt or equity securities. At March 31, 2007, we have approximately $1.1 billion of
unissued securities remaining available under this registration statement.
Cash
used in financing activities was $206.8 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2007 and cash provided by financing activities
was $541.5 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2006. During the
three months ended March 31, 2007 we had net repayments of our working capital and hedged inventory borrowings of approximately $102.0
million and during the three months
ended March
31, 2006, we had net working capital borrowings and hedged inventory borrowings of approximately $498.3 million,
respectively. Our financing activities primarily relate to
(i) funding acquisitions and internal capital projects and
(ii) funding and repayments under our short-term working capital and
hedged inventory facilities related to our contango market activities. Our financing activities
have primarily consisted of equity offerings, senior notes offerings
and borrowings and repayments under our
credit facilities. During the first quarter of 2007, we made
repayments under our credit facilities as a result of the decrease in
the storage of crude oil and LPG and also borrowed under our credit
facilities to fund capital expenditures.
Capital Expenditures and Distributions Paid to Unitholders and General Partner
We have made and will continue to make capital expenditures for acquisitions, expansion
capital and maintenance capital. Historically, we have financed these expenditures primarily with
cash generated by operations and the financing activities discussed above. Our primary uses of cash
are for our acquisition activities, capital expenditures for internal growth projects and
distributions paid to our unitholders and general partner. See Acquisitions and Internal Growth
Projects. The price of the acquisitions includes cash paid, transaction costs and assumed
liabilities and net working capital items. Because of the non-cash items included in the total
price of the acquisition and the timing of certain cash payments, the net cash paid may differ
significantly from the total value of the acquisitions completed during the year.
Distributions to unitholders and general partner. We distribute 100% of our available
cash within 45 days after the end of each quarter to unitholders of record and to our general
partner. Available cash is generally defined as all of our cash and cash equivalents on hand at the
end of each quarter less reserves established in the discretion of our general partner for future
requirements. Total cash distributions made during the first quarter of 2007 and the first quarter of 2006 were as follows (in

On April 17, 2007, we declared a cash distribution of $0.8125 per unit on our outstanding
common units. The distribution is payable on May 15, 2007, to unitholders of record on May 4,
2007, for the period January 1, 2007 through March 31, 2007. The total distribution to be paid is
approximately $107.4 million, with approximately $88.9 million to be paid to our common
unitholders and approximately $1.8 million and $16.7 million to be paid to our general partner for
its general partner and incentive distribution interests, respectively.
Contingencies
See Note 12 to our Consolidated Financial Statements.
34
Commitments
Contractual Obligations. In the ordinary course of doing business we
purchase crude oil, LPG and refined products from third parties under contracts, the majority of which range in term
from thirty-day evergreen to three years. We establish a margin for these purchases by entering
into various types of physical and financial sale and exchange transactions through which we seek
to maintain a position that is substantially balanced between purchases and sales
and future delivery obligations. At March 31, 2007 and
December 31, 2006, these obligations amounted to
$6.4 billion and $4.6 billion, respectively. Other
contractual obligations did not vary significantly since
December 31, 2006. Where applicable, the amounts presented in the table
below represent the net obligations associated with
buy/sell contracts and those subject to a net settlement arrangement with the counterparty. We do
not expect to use a significant amount of internal capital to meet these obligations, as the
obligations will be funded by hedged inventory borrowings and by corresponding sales to creditworthy entities.
The following table includes our best estimate of the amount and timing of these payments due under the specified contractual obligations as of March 31, 2007.

Amounts are based on estimated volumes and market prices. The actual physical volume purchased and actual settlement
prices may vary from the assumptions used in the table. Uncertainties involved in these estimates include levels of
production at the wellhead, weather conditions, changes in market prices and other conditions beyond our control. |
Letters of Credit. In connection with our crude oil marketing, we provide certain
suppliers with irrevocable standby letters of credit to secure our obligation for the purchase of
crude oil. Our liabilities with respect to these purchase obligations are recorded in accounts
payable on our balance sheet in the month the crude oil is purchased. Generally, these letters of
credit are issued for periods of up to 70 days and are terminated upon completion of each
transaction. At March 31, 2007, we had outstanding letters of
credit of approximately $120.0 million.
Capital Contributions to PAA/Vulcan Gas Storage, LLC. We and Vulcan Gas Storage are both
required to make capital contributions in equal proportions to fund equity requests associated with
certain projects specified in the joint venture agreement. For certain other specified projects,
Vulcan Gas Storage has the right, but not the obligation, to participate for up to 50% of such
equity requests. In some cases, Vulcan Gas Storages obligation is subject to a maximum amount,
beyond which Vulcan Gas Storages participation is optional. For any other capital expenditures, or
capital expenditures with respect to which Vulcan Gas Storages participation is optional, if
Vulcan Gas Storage elects not to participate, we have the right to make additional capital
contributions to fund 100% of the project until our interest in PAA/Vulcan equals 70%. Such
contributions would increase our interest in PAA/Vulcan and dilute Vulcan Gas Storages interest.
Once PAAs ownership interest is 70% or more, Vulcan Gas Storage would have the right, but not the
obligation, to make future capital contributions proportionate to its ownership interest at the
time. During the first quarter of 2007, we made an additional
contribution of approximately $9 million to PAA/Vulcan. Such
contribution did not result in an increase to our ownership interest.
See Note 10 to our Consolidated Financial Statements.
Distributions. We plan to distribute 100% of our available cash within 45 days after the end
of each quarter to unitholders of record and to our general partner. Available cash is generally
defined as all cash and cash equivalents on hand at the end of the quarter, less reserves
established in the discretion of our general partner for future requirements.
On April 17, 2007, we declared a cash distribution of $0.8125 per unit on our outstanding
common units. The distribution is payable on May 15, 2007, to unitholders of record on May 4,
2007, for the period January 1, 2007 through March 31, 2007. The total distribution to be paid is
approximately $107.4 million, with approximately $88.9 million to be paid to our common
unitholders and approximately $1.8 million and $16.7 million to be paid to our general partner for
its general partner and incentive distribution interests, respectively. On February 14, 2007,
we paid a cash distribution of $0.80 per unit on all outstanding units. The total distribution paid
was approximately $104.6 million, with approximately $87.5 million paid to our common unitholders
and approximately $17.1 million paid to our general partner for its general partner interest ($1.8
million) and incentive distribution interest ($15.3 million).
35
Our general partner is entitled to incentive distributions if the amount we distribute with
respect to any quarter exceeds levels specified in our partnership agreement. Under the quarterly
incentive distribution provisions, our general partner is entitled, without duplication, to 15% of
amounts we distribute in excess of $0.450 per limited partner unit, 25% of amounts we distribute in
excess of $0.495 per limited partner unit and 50% of amounts we distribute in excess of $0.675 per
limited partner unit.
Upon closing of the Pacific acquisition, our general partner agreed to reduce the amounts of
its incentive distributions as follows: (i) $5 million per quarter for the first four
quarters, (ii) $3.75 million per quarter for the next eight quarters, (iii) $2.5 million per
quarter for the next four quarters, and (iv) $1.25 million per quarter for the final four quarters.
Pursuant to this agreement, the first quarterly reduction of
$5 million occurred with the incentive distribution paid to the
general partner on February 14, 2007. The incentive distribution to be paid
in May 2007 also reflects a reduction of $5 million. The total reduction in incentive distributions will be $65 million.

Interest Rate Risk
We use both fixed and variable rate debt, and are exposed to market risk due to the floating
interest rates on our credit facilities. Therefore, from time to time we use interest rate swaps
and collars to hedge interest obligations on specific debt issuances, including anticipated debt
issuances. In addition, in connection with the Pacific merger in the fourth quarter of 2006, we
assumed interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional amount of $80 million. The interest rate
swaps are a hedge against changes in the fair value of the 7.125% Senior Notes resulting from
market fluctuations to LIBOR. The table below presents principal payments and the related weighted
average interest rates by expected maturity dates for variable rate debt outstanding at March 31,
2007. All of our senior notes are fixed rate notes and thus not subject to market risk. Our
variable rate debt bears interest at LIBOR, prime or the bankers acceptance rate plus the
applicable margin. The average interest rates presented below are based upon rates in effect at
March 31, 2007. The carrying values of the variable rate instruments in our credit facilities
approximate fair value primarily because interest rates fluctuate with prevailing market rates, and
the credit spread on outstanding borrowings reflects market.

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
We maintain written disclosure controls and procedures, which we refer to as our DCP. The
purpose of our DCP is to provide reasonable assurance that information is (i) recorded, processed,
summarized and reported in a manner that allows for timely disclosure of such information in
accordance with the securities laws and SEC regulations and (ii) accumulated and communicated to
management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow for timely
decisions regarding required disclosure.
Applicable SEC rules require an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of
our DCP. Management, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of
our DCP as of March 31, 2007, and has found our DCP to be effective in providing reasonable
assurance of the timely recording, processing, summarization and reporting of information, and in
accumulation and communication of information to management to allow for timely decisions with
regard to required disclosure.
SEC rules also require an annual evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over
financial reporting (internal control), and a quarterly evaluation of any changes in our internal
control. In the course of such evaluations, we have made changes, and will continue to make
changes, to refine and improve our internal control. We are required to disclose any change in our
internal control that occurred during the quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably
likely to materially affect, our internal control. As a result of their evaluation of changes in
internal control, management identified no changes during the first quarter of 2007 that materially
affected, or would be reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control.
The certifications of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer pursuant to
Exchange Act rules 13a-14(a) and 15d-14(a) are filed with this report as Exhibits 31.1 and 31.2.
The certifications of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer pursuant to 18 U.S.C.
1350 are furnished with this report as Exhibits 32.1 and 32.2.
