The following discussion of the financial condition and results of operations of Macquarie Infrastructure Company LLC should be read in conjunction with the consolidated condensed financial statements and the notes to those statements included elsewhere herein. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties and are made under the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Words such as anticipates, expects, intends, plans, believes, seeks, estimates, and similar expressions identify such forward-looking statements. Our actual results and timing of certain events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including, but not limited to, those set forth under Risk Factors in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013. Unless required by law, we can undertake no obligation to update forward-looking statements. Readers should also carefully review the risk factors set forth in other reports and documents filed from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC).
Except as otherwise specified, Macquarie Infrastructure Company, MIC, we, us, and our refer to the Company and its subsidiaries. Macquarie Infrastructure Management (USA) Inc., which we refer to as our Manager, is part of the Macquarie Group, comprised of Macquarie Group Limited and its subsidiaries and affiliates worldwide.
We own, operate and invest in a diversified group of infrastructure businesses that provide basic services to businesses and individuals primarily in the U.S. The businesses we own and operate include:
| International Matex Tank Terminals or IMTT: a 50% interest in a bulk liquid terminals business, which provides bulk liquid storage and handling services at ten marine terminals in the United States and two in Canada and is one of the largest participants in this industry in the U.S., based on storage capacity; |
| Hawaii Gas: a full-service gas energy company processing and distributing gas products and providing related services in Hawaii; |
| Atlantic Aviation: an airport services business providing products and services, including fuel and aircraft hangaring/parking, to owners and operators of general aviation aircraft at 63 airports in the U.S.; and |
| Contracted Power and Energy (CP&E): consists of controlling interests in five contracted power generation facilities located in the southwest U.S. and a 50.01% controlling interest in a district energy business which operates one of the largest district cooling systems in the U.S. |
Our infrastructure businesses generally operate in sectors with limited direct competition and significant barriers to entry, including high initial development and construction costs, the existence of long-term contracts or the requirement to obtain government approvals and a lack of immediate cost-efficient alternatives to the services provided. Overall they tend to generate sustainable long-term cash flows.
In analyzing the financial condition and results of operations of our businesses, we focus primarily on cash generation, and our ability to distribute cash to shareholders in particular. The ability of our businesses to generate cash, broadly, is tied to their ability to effectively manage the volume of products sold or services provided and the margin earned on those transactions. Offsetting these are required payments on debt facilities, taxes and capital expenditures necessary to maintain the productivity of the fixed assets of the businesses, among others.
At IMTT, we focus on the generation of terminal revenue and on making appropriate expenditures in maintaining fixed assets of the business. IMTT seeks to attract third party storage from customers who place a premium on ease of access, and operational flexibility. The substantial majority of IMTTs revenue is generated pursuant to contracts with an average duration of approximately four years.
1
At Hawaii Gas, we look to grow the number of customers served, the volume of gas sold and in the case of the non-utility portion of the business, the margins achieved on gas sales. Hawaii Gas has an active marketing program that seeks to develop new customers throughout Hawaii.
At Atlantic Aviation, our focus is on attracting and maintaining relationships with general aviation aircraft owners and pilots and encouraging them to use our fixed base operations (FBO). Atlantic Aviations revenue is a function of the number of general aviation flight movements in the U.S. and the business ability to service a portion of the aircraft involved in those operations.
Within CP&E, we are focused on deploying capital effectively in the growth of the businesses within the segment, in particular our contracted power generation businesses. CP&E generates revenue pursuant to long-dated contracts.
Since January 1, 2013, MIC has paid or declared the following dividends:

Our Board has previously expressed its intent to distribute a significant portion of the Free Cash Flow generated by our proportionately owned businesses in the form of a quarterly cash dividend to our shareholders. Free Cash Flow includes cash generated by our businesses after cash payment for interest, taxes, maintenance capital expenditures and excludes changes in working capital. The payment of a quarterly cash dividend of $0.9375 per share for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 is being paid out of Free Cash Flow generated by certain of our operating entities. Each of IMTT, Atlantic Aviation, Hawaii Gas and the solar power generation businesses in our CP&E segment can distribute cash to MIC. Cash generated by our district energy business within CP&E is being used to reduce debt principal of that business.
In determining whether to adjust the amount of our quarterly dividend, our Board will take into account such matters as the state of the capital markets and general business conditions, the Companys financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, capital opportunities and any contractual, legal and regulatory restrictions on the payment of dividends by the Company to its shareholders or by its subsidiaries to the Company, and any other factors that it deems relevant. In particular, each of the Companys businesses and investments has debt commitments and restrictive covenants, which must be satisfied before any of them can make distributions to the Company. Any or all of these factors could affect both the timing and amount, if any, of future dividends.
We view MIC as a total return investment opportunity. Consistent with that view, we believe that our businesses are capable of generating growing amounts of Free Cash Flow over time and that we will distribute cash equal to approximately 80% to 85% of the Free Cash Flow (in proportion to our equity interest) generated, subject to their continued stable performance and prevailing economic conditions. In particular, we believe that the growth characteristics of our businesses will cause our distributable cash flow per share to grow at a high single-digit rate annually over the medium term. See Results of Operations Consolidated: Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) excluding non-cash items and Free Cash Flow and Summary of Our Proportionately Combined Results for further discussions on Free Cash Flow and our proportionately combined financial measures in Part I of this Form 10-Q.

On April 30, 2014, Atlantic Aviation completed the acquisition of the assets and liabilities of Galaxy Aviation and Boca Aviation (collectively the Galaxy Acquisitions). The Galaxy Acquisitions included substantially all of the assets of six FBOs and one new hangar that is currently under construction at one of the six airports at which the FBOs operate. The aggregate purchase price of $230.0 million was funded using cash that had previously been raised or generated and debt facilities that had previously been arranged.

(1) | Interest expense includes losses on derivative instruments of $5.3 million and $1.1 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. |
Consolidated gross profit increased for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 compared with the quarter ended March 31, 2013 reflecting improved results at Atlantic Aviation and increased contribution from CP&E. This was partially offset by a decrease in contribution margin at Hawaii Gas, primarily in the non-utility business.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 compared with the quarter ended March 31, 2013 primarily as a result of an increase in legal and transaction costs related to acquisition activity at Atlantic Aviation. In addition, there were increases in selling, general and administrative expenses at both Hawaii Gas and CP&E.

Our Manager is entitled to a base management fee based primarily on our market capitalization, and potentially a performance fee, based on the performance of our stock relative to a U.S. utilities index. For the quarters ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, we incurred base management fees of $9.0 million and $7.1 million, respectively. In addition, for the quarter ended March 31, 2013, we incurred performance fees of $22.0 million. For the quarter ended March 31, 2014, our Manager did not earn a performance fee. In all of these periods, our Manager elected to reinvest these fees in additional LLC interests.
The unpaid portion of the base management fees and performance fees, if any, at the end of each reporting period is included in due to manager-related party in the consolidated condensed balance sheets. The following table shows our Managers election to reinvest its base management fees and performance fees, if any, in additional LLC interests:

(1) | The Manager elected to reinvest the first quarter of 2014 base management fees in LLC interests. The Company issued 164,546 LLC interests, of which 55,545 LLC interests were issued in April of 2014 for the March of 2014 base management fees. |
Depreciation expense increased for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 compared with the quarter ended March 31, 2013 primarily as a result of the depreciation associated with solar power generation projects that became operational during 2013. Depreciation expense was also higher at Atlantic Aviation due to 2013 growth capital expenditures for supply chain logistics and an acquisition.
Interest expense includes losses on derivative instruments of $5.3 million and $1.1 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Losses on derivatives recorded in interest expense are attributable to the change in fair value of interest rate instruments and include the reclassification of amounts from accumulated other comprehensive loss into earnings. Excluding the derivative adjustments, interest expense increased primarily due to a higher interest rate on Atlantic Aviations term loan that was refinanced during the second quarter of 2013, partially offset by lower debt balance.
The increase in equity in earnings for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 compared with the quarter ended March 31, 2013 reflects our share of the improved operating results from IMTT in the current period, primarily due to increase in gross profit, partially offset by a higher tax provision.
5
We file a consolidated federal income tax return that includes the taxable income of Hawaii Gas, Atlantic Aviation and our allocated share of the taxable income from our solar investments, which are treated as partnerships for tax purposes. IMTT and our district energy business file separate federal income tax returns. Pursuant to tax sharing agreements, the individual businesses included in our consolidated federal income tax return pay MIC an amount equal to the federal income taxes each would have paid on a standalone basis as if they were not part of the MIC consolidated federal income tax return. Distributions from IMTT may be characterized as return on capital or as a dividend.
For 2014, we expect any federal income tax to be fully offset by our net operating loss, or NOL, carryforwards. At December 31, 2013, our federal NOL balance was $198.6 million, which is available to offset future taxable income, if any, through 2033. This balance excludes the NOL carryforwards of our district energy business of $2.9 million at December 31, 2013 (see CP&E Income Taxes below).
As a result of having federal NOL carryforwards, we do not expect to make regular federal tax payments until 2016. However, we expect to pay an Alternative Minimum Tax of approximately $1.8 million for 2014. We expect that the Alternative Minimum Tax paid for 2014 will be available as a credit against regular federal income taxes in the future.
In addition, we expect our federal and state income taxes, excluding our district energy business, to be approximately 28.5% of net income before taxes, of which $7.0 million relates to state and local income taxes. The difference between our effective tax rate and the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% is primarily attributable to state and local income taxes and adjustments for our less than 80% owned businesses.
We expect our district energy business to record federal and state income taxes of approximately $1.5 million, of which $344,000 relates to state and local income taxes. For 2014, our district energy business expects to pay regular federal and state income taxes of approximately $2.2 million and $959,000, respectively, and expects to utilize approximately $2.9 million of federal NOLs to offset a portion of its federal taxable income.
In calculating our consolidated state income tax provision, we have provided a valuation allowance for certain state income tax NOL carryforwards, the utilization of which is not assured beyond a reasonable doubt. In addition, we expect to incur certain expenses that will not be deductible in determining state taxable income. Accordingly, these expenses have also been excluded in determining our state income tax expense.
We have disclosed EBITDA excluding non-cash items for our Company and each of our operating segments in Note 10, Reportable Segments, in our consolidated condensed financial statements, as a key performance metric relied on by management in evaluating our performance. EBITDA excluding non-cash items is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and non-cash items, which includes impairments, derivative gains and losses and adjustments for other non-cash items reflected in the statements of operations. We believe EBITDA excluding non-cash items provides additional insight into the performance of our operating businesses relative to each other and to similar businesses without regard to their capital structure, and to their ability to service or reduce debt, fund capital expenditures and/or support distributions to the holding company.
We also disclose Free Cash Flow, as defined by us, as a means of assessing the amount of cash generated by our businesses and supplementing other information provided in accordance with GAAP. We define Free Cash Flow as cash from operating activities, which includes cash paid for interest and taxes, less maintenance capital expenditures and excludes changes in working capital.
We believe that reporting Free Cash Flow will provide our investors with additional insight into our future ability to deploy cash, as GAAP metrics such as net income and cash from operating activities do not reflect all of the items that our management considers in estimating the amount of cash generated by our operating entities. In this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we have disclosed Free Cash Flow for our consolidated results and for each of our operating segments.
6
We note that Free Cash Flow does not fully reflect our ability to freely deploy generated cash, as it does not reflect required payments to be made on our indebtedness and other fixed obligations or the other cash items excluded when calculating Free Cash Flow. We also note that Free Cash Flow may be calculated in a different manner by other companies, which limits its usefulness as a comparative measure. Therefore, our Free Cash Flow should be used as a supplemental measure and not in lieu of our financial results reported under GAAP.
A reconciliation of net income attributable to MIC LLC to EBITDA excluding non-cash items and EBITDA excluding non-cash items to Free Cash Flow, on a consolidated basis, is provided below.

(2) | IMTT managements calculation of IMTTs EBITDA includes various non-cash items, unlike MICs other businesses. In order to ensure IMTTs EBITDA excluding non-cash items does in fact excludes non-cash items, and to promote consistency across its reporting segments, MIC has excluded known non-cash items when calculating IMTTs EBITDA excluding non-cash items including primarily the non-cash pension expense of $1.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2014. The non-cash pension expense of $2.8 million was reported in changes in working capital for the quarter ended March 31, 2013. |
(3) | Maintenance capital expenditures includes a reclassification from growth capital expenditures during the quarter ended March 31, 2013 of $509,000. The classification of capital expenditures as either growth or maintenance is the subject of ongoing review and discussions between MIC and its co-investor in IMTT. |
Terminal revenues increased 10.2% or $12.4 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2014 as compared with the quarter ended March 31, 2013. The increase was primarily attributable to higher revenues from heating, firm commitments and ancillary services. IMTTs contracts typically contain a fixed monthly charge for access to or use of IMTTs infrastructure, which escalates with inflation similar to an availability payment. Together with storage charges, we refer to these payments as firm commitments.
The increase in ancillary services and heating revenues was primarily due to higher activity levels resulting from the cold weather as well as spikes in natural gas prices, which were passed through to customers. Firm commitments increased primarily due to an increase in rates. As expected, capacity utilization was flat at 92.7% due to the continued scheduled cleaning and inspection of large tanks.
Terminal operating costs were higher for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 as compared with the quarter ended March 31, 2013, primarily due to increased product heating costs which are typically passed through to customers, partially offset by lower repairs and maintenance costs due to Hurricane Sandy related costs incurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2013.
Gross profit from environmental response services increased due to a higher level of spill response activity, predominantly related to one large incident in the Houston Ship Channel, during the quarter ended March 31, 2014 compared with the quarter ended March 31, 2013.
General and administrative expenses decreased for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 as compared with the quarter ended March 31, 2013 primarily due to lower legal costs.
Interest expense includes losses on derivative instruments of $378,000 and gains on derivative instruments of $31,000 for the quarters ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Excluding the derivative adjustments, interest expense remained flat. Cash interest paid totaled $10.2 million and $8.8 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The increase in cash interest paid during the quarter ended March 31, 2014 was due to timing of the payments.

IMTT files a consolidated federal income tax return and state income tax returns in the states in which it operates.
For the year ending December 31, 2014, IMTT expects to pay $37.5 million of federal income taxes and $9.0 million of state income taxes. IMTTs actual federal tax liability could be higher or lower depending on the cost and timing of the capital assets placed in service during the year or tax legislation. The Provision for income taxes, net of changes in deferred taxes of $15.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 in the table above, includes $12.2 million of federal income taxes and $2.9 million of state income taxes. The increase in current income taxes payable is due to utilization of available NOLs in prior periods and higher taxable income.
For the full year 2013, IMTT recorded $48.8 million of federal income tax expense and $12.3 million of state income tax expense. This includes $13.8 million and $4.7 million of current federal and state income taxes, respectively. The federal income tax expense exceeded the cash taxes primarily due to the benefit of accelerated tax depreciation.
Management believes that the presentation and analysis of contribution margin, a non-GAAP performance measure, is meaningful to understanding the business performance under both a utility rate structure and a non-utility unregulated pricing structure. Regulation of the utility portion of Hawaii Gass operations provides for the pass through of increases or decreases in feedstock costs to customers. Changes in the cost of Liquefied Petroleum Gas, or LPG, distributed to non-utility customers can be recovered in pricing, subject to competitive conditions.
Contribution margin should not be considered an alternative to revenue, gross profit, operating income, or net income, as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. A reconciliation of contribution margin to gross profit is presented in the below table. The business calculates contribution margin as revenue less direct costs of revenue other than production and transmission and distribution costs. Other companies may calculate contribution margin differently or may use different metrics and, therefore, the contribution margin presented for Hawaii Gas is not necessarily comparable with metrics of other companies.

| a decrease in operating costs. |

Non-utility volume decreased by 1.3% for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 compared with the quarter ended March 31, 2013, driven by a reduction in average customer inventory resulting from lower than anticipated local refinery production. Non-utility contribution margin decreased during the quarter ended March 31, 2014 as the result of higher propane costs, offset partially by selected pricing increases implemented mid-way through the first quarter of 2014. The volume of gas sold by the utility business decreased by 2.4% for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 compared with the quarter ended March 31, 2013 as a result of reduced demand from certain large commercial customers.
Hawaii Gas purchased approximately 70% of its LPG from off-island sources in the first quarter of 2014, compared with 63% in the fourth quarter of 2013, due to instability in the operations at the local refineries. To the extent this instability persists, it may continue to impact the sourcing of Hawaii Gass LPG supplies. As a result, Hawaii Gas continues to strengthen its relationships with off-island suppliers and to evaluate investing in additional local storage facilities.
The timing of off-island purchases in the first quarter of 2014 also coincided with a peak in the benchmark LPG price index (the Mont Belvieu index). The average price per gallon of LPG during the quarter rose by over 50% versus the prior comparable period, primarily as a result of the severe winter weather throughout the mainland and the resulting increased demand. The business is pursuing several initiatives to mitigate future volatility in supply prices including expanding storage and providing for greater flexibility in its supply contracts.
Production, transmission and distribution and selling, general and administrative expenses comprise primarily labor related expenses and professional fees. Collectively, these costs were lower for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 compared with the quarter ended March 31, 2013 due to lower welfare and benefit costs.
On March 6, 2014, Hawaii Gas received approval from the Hawaii Public Utilities Commission (HPUC) to land containerized liquefied natural gas (LNG) in Hawaii as a back-up fuel for its synthetic natural gas distribution system on Oahu. Hawaii Gas is currently the only company with regulatory approval to land and utilize LNG in Hawaii. On April 2, 2014 Hawaii Gas received its first shipment of LNG which was subsequently re-gasified and injected into the utility pipeline network. Hawaii Gas continues to pursue both a small-scale containerized LNG delivery program and a large-scale bulk storage and distribution program to supply multiple end markets throughout the state including utility power generation, ground and marine transportation.
Interest expense includes losses on derivative instruments of $588,000 and $529,000 for the quarters ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Excluding the derivative adjustments, interest expense remained flat during the quarter ended March 31, 2014 compared with the quarter ended March 31, 2013. Cash interest paid totaled $2.8 million and $2.7 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
Income from Hawaii Gas is included in our consolidated federal income tax return, and is subject to Hawaii state income taxes. The tax expense in the table above includes both state taxes and the portion of the consolidated federal tax liability attributable to the business. For the year ended December 31, 2014, the business expects to pay state income taxes of approximately $1.4 million. The Provision for income taxes, net of changes in deferred taxes of $2.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 in the above table, includes $2.3 million of federal income taxes payable to MIC and $391,000 of state income taxes. Any current federal income tax liability is expected to be offset in consolidation by the application of NOLs.

The majority of the revenue and gross profit earned by Atlantic Aviation is generated through fueling GA aircraft at facilities located at 63 U.S. airports at which Atlantic Aviation operates. Revenue is categorized according to who owns the fuel used to service these aircraft. If Atlantic Aviation owns the fuel, it records the cost to purchase that fuel as cost of revenue-fuel. The business corresponding fuel revenue is its cost to purchase that fuel plus a margin. The business generally pursues a strategy of maintaining, and where appropriate increasing, dollar-based margins. Generally, fluctuations in the cost of fuel are passed through to the customer.
Atlantic Aviation also has into-plane arrangements whereby it fuels aircraft with fuel owned by another party. It collects a fee for this service that is recorded as non-fuel revenue. Non-fuel revenue also includes various services such as hangar rentals, de-icing, landing fees, tie-down fees and miscellaneous services.
The business fuel-related revenue and gross profit are driven by the volume of fuel sold and the dollar-based margin/fee per gallon on those sales. This applies to revenue and gross profit generated through both fuel and into-plane sales. Purchases of fuel by individual customers may be from Atlantic Aviation directly, another party or both in a given period.
The increase in total gross profit for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 compared with the quarter ended March 31, 2013 was the result of increased fuel gross profit along with increased rental revenue and de-icing gross profit. On a same store basis, total gross profit increased by 8.6%, volume of GA fuel sold increased by 3.8% and GA average fuel margin increased by 2.7% for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 compared with the quarter ended March 31, 2013.
Atlantic Aviation seeks to extend FBO leases prior to their maturity and to increase the portfolios weighted average lease life. The weighted average lease life increased from 18.8 years at March 31, 2013 to 19.2 years at March 31, 2014, notwithstanding the passage of one year. Including the locations related to the previously announced acquisitions, the weighted average lease life would be 19.7 years.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 compared with the quarter ended March 31, 2013 primarily due to transaction and legal costs primarily associated with previously announced acquisitions.
On a same store basis, costs were 6.2% higher for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 compared with the quarter ended March 31, 2013 primarily due to weather related costs associated with the colder than normal temperatures in the Northeast U.S. Excluding the weather related costs in both periods, costs increased by 4.1%, mainly due to higher rent and incentives.
Interest expense includes losses on derivative instruments of $4.5 million and $26,000 for the quarters ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Excluding the derivative adjustments, interest expense increased due to the lower cost of debt in the prior comparable period, as the principal was unhedged, partially offset by lower debt levels in the current period. In 2014, the business anticipates cash interest to be approximately $29.0 million. The weighted average interest rate of all outstanding debt facilities, including any interest rate swaps, was 4.67% and 1.95% for the quarters ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Cash interest paid was $6.2 million and $3.3 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
Income generated by Atlantic Aviation is included in our consolidated federal income tax return. The business files state income tax returns in the states in which it operates. The tax expense in the table above includes both state taxes and the portion of the consolidated federal tax liability attributable to the business.
17
During the quarter ended March 31, 2014, Atlantic Aviation completed a tax planning initiative which is expected to reduce state taxes by approximately $2.0 million over the next several years. For 2014, the business expects to pay state income taxes of approximately $4.2 million. The Provision for income taxes, net of changes in deferred taxes of $1.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 in the above table, includes $329,000 of federal income taxes payable to MIC and $915,000 of state income taxes.

The increase in revenue and gross profit for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 compared with the quarter ended March 31, 2013 reflects three months of operations of all solar facilities for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 compared with only one solar facility for the quarter ended March 31, 2013. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in finance lease revenue and cooler average temperatures.
Selling, general and administrative expenses are comprised primarily of acquisition-related fees, legal and other professional fees and management and incentive costs. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses primarily relates to legal and professional expenses incurred during the first quarter of 2014.
Interest expense includes losses on derivative instruments of $287,000 and $505,000 for the quarters ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Excluding the derivative adjustments, interest expense increased for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 compared with the quarter ended March 31, 2013 due to higher debt balance. Cash interest totaled $2.4 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2014 and 2013.
In 2013, our district energy business recorded a $137,000 Federal Alternative Minimum Tax liability and did not generate a regular federal income tax liability due to the application of NOL carryforwards. For 2014, the district energy business is expected to generate federal and state income cash tax liabilities of approximately $2.2 million and $959,000, respectively. The district energy business is expected to utilize its remaining federal NOLs, of approximately $2.9 million, to offset a portion of its federal taxable income for the year ending December 31, 2014.
The five solar projects within CP&E are held in various LLCs and treated as partnerships for income tax purposes. For 2014, MIC expects its allocated share of the taxable income from the five solar projects currently in operations to be approximately $4.8 million. The business federal taxable income differs from book income primarily as a result of differences in the depreciation of fixed assets.

We believe that our proportionately combined metrics, including proportionately combined gross profit, proportionately combined EBITDA excluding non-cash items, proportionately combined cash interest, proportionately combined cash taxes, proportionately combined maintenance capital expenditures, proportionately combined Free Cash Flow, proportionately combined Free Cash Flow per share, proportionately combined growth capital expenditures, and proportionately combined net debt, some of which are used in this Form 10-Q, provide our investors and management with additional insight into the financial results and cash generated as a result of our varied ownership interests in our businesses and investments. When we refer to the proportionately combined net debt and resultant leverage ratios, we exclude: (1) the net debt associated with CP&E as the capital structure of that business is more project finance related and the size of that reporting segment, on a proportionately combined basis, is minimal; and (2) any cash on hand at Holding Company. Given the nature of the businesses we own and our varied ownership levels of these businesses, management believes that GAAP measures such as net income and cash from operating activities do not fully reflect all of the items that our management considers in assessing the amount of cash generated by our ownership interest in our businesses and investments.
We note that proportionately combined metrics used by us may be calculated in a different manner by other companies, which may limit their usefulness as a comparative measure. Therefore, our proportionately combined metrics should be used as a supplement to, and not in lieu of, of our financial results reported under GAAP.
Our proportionately combined financial measures are those attributable to MICs ownership interest in each of our operating businesses and MIC Corporate. The gross profit, EBITDA excluding non-cash items and Free Cash Flow are derived from the Results of Operations of our investments and businesses described above.

Our primary cash requirements include normal operating expenses, debt service, debt principal payments, payments of dividends and capital expenditures. Our primary source of cash is operating activities, although we may draw on credit facilities for capital expenditures, issue additional LLC interests or sell assets to generate cash.
We believe that our operating businesses will have sufficient liquidity and capital resources to meet future requirements, including servicing long-term debt obligations and making distributions to MIC. We base our assessment of the sufficiency of the liquidity and capital resources on the assumptions that:
| our businesses and investments overall generate, and are expected to continue to generate, significant operating cash flow; |
| the ongoing capital expenditures associated with our businesses are readily funded from their respective operating cash flow or available debt facilities; and |
| we will be able to refinance, extend and/or repay the principal amount of maturing long-term debt on terms that can be supported by our businesses. |
Historically, we have capitalized our businesses in large part using project-finance style debt. Project-finance style debt is generally limited-recourse, floating rate, non-amortizing bank debt with a medium term maturity of between five and seven years. Typically, we have sought to ensure that the debt at each business was non-recourse to MIC and that there was no cross-collateralization or cross-guarantees of any debt between our businesses.
More recently, given the openness of the debt markets generally, we have also used slightly longer dated private placement debt as a component of the capital structure of our businesses. For example, in August of 2012, we included $100.0 million of 10-year non-amortizing senior secured notes in the capital structure of Hawaii Gas in connection with the refinancing of its long-term debt. We may in the future consider other forms of capital, including bank, bond or hybrid debt instruments as a means of financing our businesses.
At March 31, 2014, we had no debt at the MIC holding company level. We may in the future consider borrowing money at the MIC holding company level in circumstances where the cost of capitalizing our businesses, collectively, or the terms and covenants available could be improved as a result. Our use of debt instruments at the holding company level or otherwise depends on multiple factors including but not limited to: the condition of the debt capital markets; the operating performance of our businesses and investments; the near and long term capital needs of our businesses; our ability to stagger debt maturities across our portfolio; and, where applicable, express or implied debt ratings.
Our financing strategy involves ensuring that we and our businesses maintain appropriate liquidity and access to capital markets, managing our net exposure to floating interest rate volatility, and maintaining a balanced spectrum of debt maturities. Within these parameters, we seek to optimize our borrowing costs and the terms and covenants of our debt facilities.
The section below discusses the sources and uses of cash on a consolidated basis and for each of our businesses and investments. All intercompany activities such as corporate allocations, capital contributions to our businesses and distributions from our businesses have been excluded from the tables as these transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

Consolidated cash provided by operating activities comprises primarily the cash from operations of the businesses we own, as described in each of the business discussions below. The cash flow from our consolidated business operations is partially offset by expenses paid by the holding company, including base management fees and performance fees to the extent paid in cash, professional fees and costs associated with being a public company.
The increase in consolidated cash provided by operating activities for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 compared with the quarter ended March 31, 2013 was primarily due to:
| increase in payments out of restricted cash account for the completion of construction of solar projects that were online by the end of 2013; |
| timing of fourth quarter cash distributions received from IMTT; and |
| improved operating results offset by higher cash interest paid at Atlantic Aviation. |
Distributions from IMTT are reflected in our consolidated cash provided by operating activities only up to our cumulative 50% share of IMTTs earnings recorded since our investment in IMTT. Cumulative distributions in excess of this are reflected in our consolidated cash from investing activities as a return of investment in unconsolidated business.
The increase in consolidated cash used in investing activities for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 compared with the quarter ended March 31, 2013 was primarily due to increase in growth capital expenditures at Atlantic Aviation and CP&E.
The dividend for the fourth quarter of 2012 was paid during that quarter. The dividend for the fourth quarter of 2013 was paid in the first quarter of 2014, as is customary. This resulted in a $51.5 million increase in cash used in financing activities during the quarter ended March 31, 2014.
See below for further description of the cash flows related to our businesses.
24
The following analysis represents 100% of the cash flows of IMTT, rather than just the composition of cash flows that are included in our consolidated cash flows. We believe this is the most appropriate and meaningful approach to discussion of the historical cash flow trends of IMTT. We account for our 50% ownership of this business using the equity method.

Cash provided by operating activities at IMTT is generated primarily from firm commitments and ancillary services that are billed monthly, primarily in advance. Cash used in operating activities is mainly for payroll and benefits costs, maintenance and repair of fixed assets, utilities and professional services, interest payments and payments to tax jurisdictions.
Cash provided by operating activities increased for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 compared with the quarter ended March 31, 2013, primarily as a result of:
| improved operating results; and |
| lower tax payments primarily due to a tax payment in January of 2013 that was deferred from 2012 as a result of an IRS postponement of time to pay due to Hurricane Isaac. |
Cash used in investing activities primarily relates to capital expenditures which were lower for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 compared with the quarter ended March 31, 2013. Total cash capital expenditures decreased from $50.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 to $29.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2014. Total capital expenditures, on an accrual basis, decreased from $34.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 to $21.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2014.
During the quarters ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, IMTT incurred $11.1 million and $19.1 million, respectively, on maintenance and environmental capital expenditures. Of the $19.1 million spent for the quarter ended March 31, 2013, $5.9 million was associated with repairs to the Bayonne terminal as a result of damage from Hurricane Sandy.
The classification of capital expenditures as either growth or maintenance is the subject of ongoing discussions between MIC and its co-investor in IMTT. For a summary of the approach that MIC uses to categorize capital expenditures, see Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Classification of Maintenance Capital Expenditures and Growth Capital Expenditures in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013. We believe that IMTT management has not used or has inconsistently applied a framework in the categorization of capital expenditures. At MICs insistence, the board of IMTT unanimously instructed IMTT management to engage a third party accounting firm to conduct a review of IMTTs capital expenditure processes and conduct control testing of these processes. This review is ongoing.
IMTT incurred growth capital expenditures of $10.0 million and $15.1 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
25
At March 31, 2014, IMTT has growth projects with outstanding expenditures that are anticipated to have a total cost of $82.4 million, including $28.3 million of support infrastructure projects and some trailing costs from projects brought on line in the prior years. To date, $34.9 million has been spent on these projects. These projects are anticipated to generate an additional $12.4 million of annualized gross profit and EBITDA as outlined in the table below.
Anticipated Incremental Gross Profit/EBITDA | Anticipated Cumulative Gross Profit/EBITDA | |||||||
2013 | $ | 2.0 million | $ | 2.0 million | ||||
2014 | 6.0 million | 8.0 million | ||||||
2015 | 4.4 million | 12.4 million |
IMTT management is reviewing a significant pipeline of expansion projects of which it is actively considering projects of over $100.0 million. Returns on these projects are anticipated to be in line with historical levels.
Cash used in financing activities for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 compared with cash provided by financing activities for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 reflects a higher level of distributions to shareholders and a net repayment of debt compared to net borrowings, partially offset by debt refinancing costs incurred in 2013.
At March 31, 2014, the balance on IMTTs total debt facilities was $956.6 million. This consisted of $336.3 million in letter of credit backed tax-exempt bonds, $178.0 million in bank owned tax-exempt bonds, $419.4 million in revolving credit facilities and $22.9 million in shareholder loans. The weighted average interest rate of the outstanding debt facilities, including any interest rate swaps and fees associated with outstanding letters of credit was 4.20%. Cash interest paid was $10.2 million and $8.8 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The increase in cash interest paid during the quarter ended March 31, 2014 was primarily due to timing of the payments.
The financial covenant requirements under IMTTs revolving credit facility, and the calculation of these measures at March 31, 2014, were as follows:
| Leverage Ratio < 5.00x (default threshold). The ratio at March 31, 2014 was 3.60x. |
| Interest Coverage Ratio > 3.00x (default threshold). The ratio at March 31, 2014 was 6.08x. |

The principal source of cash provided by operating activities is customer receipts. The business incurs payments for fuel, materials, pipeline repairs, vendor services and supplies, payroll and benefit costs, revenue based taxes and payment of administrative costs. Customers are generally billed monthly and make payments on account. Vendors and suppliers generally bill the business when services are rendered or when products are shipped.
The increase in cash provided by operating activities for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 compared with the quarter ended March 31, 2013 was driven primarily by inventory change due to the timing of off-island shipments of LPG.
Cash used in investing activities is composed primarily of capital expenditures. Capital expenditures are funded by cash from operating activities as well as drawing on credit facilities.
The following table sets forth information about capital expenditures at Hawaii Gas ($ in thousands):

Quarter ended March 31, 2013, cash basis | $ | 1,754 | $ | 1,709 |
Maintenance capital expenditures for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 increased compared with the quarter ended March 31, 2013 due to the timing of pipeline renewal projects.
Growth capital expenditures for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 were lower compared with the quarter ended March 31, 2013 driven mainly by the timing of new customer installations.
The main drivers of cash provided by financing activities are drawings on facilities for capital expenditures and working capital needs. At March 31, 2014, the balance on the business debt facilities consisted of $180.0 million in term loan and senior secured note borrowings. Cash provided by financing activities during the quarter ended March 31, 2013 reflects the drawdown of the revolving credit facility of $20.0 million for working capital requirements related to imports of off-island LPG cargos and to fund a portion of capital expenditures. The full amount was repaid during the second quarter of 2013.
The weighted average interest rate of the outstanding debt facilities, including the interest rate swap, was 3.63% at March 31, 2014. Cash interest paid was $2.8 million and $2.7 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
27
The financial covenants precluding distributions under each of the business credit facilities discussed above are as follows:
| 12 month backward interest coverage ratio less than 3.0x; and |
| Leverage ratio (total indebtedness to capitalization ratio) for any fiscal quarter greater than 65.0%. |
At March 31, 2014, the 12 month backward interest coverage ratio was 7.94x at the holding company and 14.62x at the operating company. The leverage ratio at March 31, 2014 was 58.17% at the holding company and 32.40% at the operating company.
Additionally, the HPUC requires the consolidated debt to total capital for the holding company to be less than 65% and that $20.0 million in cash resources be readily available at Hawaii Gas or MIC. At March 31, 2014, the debt to total capital ratio was 58.17% and $20.0 million in cash resources was readily available.

Cash provided by operating activities at Atlantic Aviation is generated from sales transactions primarily paid by credit cards. Some customers are provided extended payment terms and are billed accordingly. Cash used in operating activities is mainly for payments to vendors of fuel and professional services, as well as payroll costs and payments to tax jurisdictions.
Cash provided by operating activities was flat during the quarter ended March 31, 2014 compared with the quarter ended March 31, 2013 primarily due to:
| higher cash interest paid primarily due to higher interest rates; and |
| higher taxes paid; partially offset by |
| improved operating results. |
Cash used in investing activities relates primarily to cash used for acquisitions and capital expenditures. Cash provided by investing activities relates primarily to proceeds from the sale of FBOs. Cash used in investing activities increased during the quarter ended March 31, 2014 compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2013 primarily due to increased growth capital expenditures.

Quarter ended March 31, 2013, cash basis | $ | 1,638 | $ | 2,036 |
Maintenance capital expenditures were lower for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 compared with the quarter ended March 31, 2013 due to replacement of equipment at existing locations and increased investments in FBO and information technology incurred during the first quarter of 2013.
Growth capital expenditures incurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2014 related primarily to facility upgrades that are intended to improve the capabilities and amenities of these facilities and investments in fuel supply chain logistics. Atlantic Aviation expects an increase in growth capital expenditures from 2013 to 2014, primarily due to the purchase of fuel supply chain logistics assets, the construction of hangars and remodels of certain facilities to upgrade their capabilities and attain lease extensions.
Cash used in financing activities decreased primarily due to larger payments on the principal balance of the term loan debt during the quarter ended March 31, 2013 of $24.6 million compared with $1.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2014.
29
On May 31, 2013, Atlantic Aviation refinanced its term loan and capital expenditure debt facilities. The new credit agreement provides for a 7-year, $465.0 million senior secured, first lien term loan and a 5-year, $70.0 million senior secured, first lien revolving credit facility. The term loan was fully drawn at signing and the revolving credit facility was undrawn. Proceeds from the term loan were used to partially repay Atlantic Aviations existing debt facilities. On November 7, 2013, Atlantic Aviation entered into an incremental joinder agreement that provides the business with an incremental $50.0 million on the same terms as the existing term loan.
At March 31, 2014, the balance on Atlantic Aviations debt facilities included $511.3 million outstanding on the term loan facility. The revolving credit facility remains undrawn as of March 31, 2014. The facilities bear interest at a rate of LIBOR plus a margin of 2.50% with a minimum LIBOR of 0.75% through the maturity of the term loan in June of 2020 and the maturity of the revolving credit facility in May of 2018.
On July 10, 2013 Atlantic Aviation entered into an interest rate swap where it will pay a fixed rate of 2.198% for one-month U.S. LIBOR on a notional amount of $465.0 million. The swap has an effective date of July 31, 2013 and will terminate on July 31, 2019. This agreement fixes Atlantic Aviations interest rate on $465.0 million of indebtedness at 4.698% for almost 6 years. On November 7, 2013, Atlantic Aviation entered into an interest rate swap where it will pay a fixed rate of 1.944% for one-month U.S. LIBOR on a notional amount of $50.0 million. The swap has an effective date of November 29, 2013 and will terminate on July 31, 2019. This agreement fixes Atlantic Aviations interest rate on $50.0 million of indebtedness at 4.444% for almost 6 years.
On January 22, 2014, Atlantic Aviation entered into an incremental joinder agreement that provided the business with an incremental term loan facility of $100.0 million on the same terms as the existing term loan facility. On April 30, 2014, the business drew this debt of which the proceeds were primarily used to fund the Galaxy Acquisitions. During the second quarter of 2014, Atlantic Aviation expects to enter into an interest rate swap to hedge the floating rate interest exposure.
Atlantic Aviation also has stand-alone debt facilities used to fund construction of certain FBOs. At March 31, 2014, the balances on the stand-alone facilities totaled $5.1 million. The interest rates on these stand-alone facilities are fixed at 4.34%. The current weighted average interest rate of all outstanding debt facilities, including the interest rate swaps, is 4.67%. Cash interest paid was $6.2 million and $3.3 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
At March 31, 2014, Atlantic Aviations net debt to adjusted EBITDA was 3.01x (versus a covenant of 4.75x). For a description of the material terms of Atlantic Aviations credit facilities, see Note 9, Long-Term Debt, in Part II, Item 8, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013.

Cash provided by operating activities is driven primarily by revenue collected from power purchase agreements (PPA), customer contracts for products and services provided and leased equipment payments received (including non-revenue lease principal). The change in cash provided by operating activities is a result of payments this quarter, out of a restricted cash account, for the completion of construction for projects that were online by the end of 2013.
Cash used in investing activities is mainly comprised of growth capital expenditures to construct solar projects, which are generally funded by drawing on construction loans and equity contributions from MIC and/or its co-investor. After construction is complete, we do not expect to incur substantial capital expenditures at our solar sites as most upgrades, replenishments and repairs are covered under the operations and maintenance (O&M) contract.
In April of 2014, the Company signed a Stock Purchase Agreement to sell its interest in the district energy business. The sale is expected to conclude in the second half of 2014, subject to certain customary closing conditions, and the net proceeds are expected to be reinvested in the Contracted Power and Energy business.
The following table sets forth information about capital expenditures at CP&E ($ in thousands):

Quarter ended March 31, 2014, accrual basis | $ | 350 | $ | 667 | ||||

Quarter ended March 31, 2013, cash basis | $ | 258 | $ | 7,439 |
The business expects to spend approximately $1.0 million per year on capital expenditures, predominately relating to the replacement of parts, system reliability, customer service and minor system modifications at our district energy facilities. Maintenance capital expenditures will be funded from available facilities and cash from operating activities. These expenditures were lower during the quarter ended March 31, 2014 due to the timing of spend on ordinary course maintenance projects.
The increase in growth capital expenditures for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 compared with the quarter ended March 31, 2013 is primarily due to the construction of solar projects and the timing of spend related to connecting new customers.
31
Cash used in financing activities increased during the quarter ended March 31, 2014 compared with the quarter ended March 31, 2013 primarily due to larger net repayments on term loan debt and capital contribution from noncontrolling interest during the quarter ended March 31, 2013 that did not recur this period.
Each of the five solar projects and the district energy business are financed individually with non-recourse debt. At March 31, 2014, the outstanding balance on term loan debt at the five combined solar projects was $141.7 million with a weighted average interest rate of 4.66%. During the quarter ended March 31, 2014, three solar projects converted construction loans to term loans with fixed interest rates and maturities ranging from 20 23 years. The outstanding debt balance at our district energy business was $149.9 million at March 31, 2014, all of which is classified as current portion of long-term debt on the consolidated condensed balance sheet, with a weighted average interest rate of 6.25%. In accordance with the debt agreements, 100% of excess free cash flows generated at the district cooling facility are being utilized to repay the debt facility. All of the CP&E credit facilities were compliant with their respective covenants at March 31, 2014. Cash interest paid at CP&E for the quarters ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 was $2.4 million.
For a description of the material terms of CP&Es credit facilities, see Note 9, Long-Term Debt, in Part II, Item 8, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013.
At March 31, 2014, there had been no material changes in our commitments and contingencies compared with our commitments and contingencies at December 31, 2013. At March 31, 2014, we did not have any material purchase obligations. For a discussion of our other future obligations, due by period, under the various contractual obligations, off-balance sheet arrangements and commitments, please see Liquidity and Capital Resources Commitments and Contingencies in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, filed with the SEC on February 19, 2014.
At March 31, 2014, we did not have any material reserves for contingencies. We have other contingencies occurring in the normal course of business, including pending legal and administrative proceedings that are not reflected at this time as they are not ascertainable.
Our sources of cash to meet these obligations include:
| cash generated from our operations (see Operating Activities in Liquidity and Capital Resources); |
| refinancing of our current credit facilities on or before maturity (see Financing Activities in Liquidity and Capital Resources); and |
| cash available from our undrawn credit facilities (see Financing Activities in Liquidity and Capital Resources). |
For critical accounting policies and estimates, see Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013. Our critical accounting policies and estimates have not changed materially from the description contained in our Annual Report.
Our acquisitions of businesses that we control are accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. The amounts assigned to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed in connection with acquisitions are based on estimated fair values as of the date of the acquisition, with the remainder, if any, recorded as goodwill. The fair values are determined by our management, taking into consideration information supplied by the management of acquired entities and other relevant information. Such information
32
includes valuations supplied by independent appraisal experts for significant business combinations. The valuations are generally based upon future cash flow projections for the acquired assets, discounted to present value. The determination of fair values require significant judgment both by management and outside experts engaged to assist in this process.
Significant assets acquired in connection with our acquisition of businesses include contract rights, customer relationships, non-compete agreements, trademarks, property and equipment and goodwill.
Trademarks are generally considered to be indefinite life intangibles. Trademarks and goodwill are not amortized in most circumstances. It may be appropriate to amortize some trademarks. However, for unamortized intangible assets, we are required to perform annual impairment reviews and more frequently in certain circumstances.
ASU No. 2011-08, Intangibles Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Goodwill for Impairment, permits an entity to make a qualitative assessment of whether it is more likely than not that a reporting units fair value is less than its carrying amount before applying the two-step goodwill impairment test, as discussed below. If an entity concludes it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, it need not perform the two-step impairment test.
If an entity concludes that it is more likely than not that the fair value of reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, it needs to perform the two-step impairment test. This requires management to make judgments in determining what assumptions to use in the calculation. The first step of the process consists of estimating the fair value of each reporting unit based on a discounted cash flow model using revenue and profit forecasts and comparing those estimated fair values with the carrying values, which included the allocated goodwill. If the estimated fair value is less than the carrying value, a second step is performed to compute the amount of the impairment by determining an implied fair value of goodwill. The determination of a reporting units implied fair value of goodwill requires the allocation of the estimated fair value of the reporting unit to the assets and liabilities of the reporting unit. Any unallocated fair value represents the implied fair value of goodwill, which is compared with its corresponding carrying value. Hawaii Gas, Atlantic Aviation and our district energy business, within the CP&E reporting segment, are separate reporting units for purposes of this analysis. The impairment test for trademarks, which are not amortized, requires the determination of the fair value of such assets. If the fair value of the trademarks are less than their carrying value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to the difference. We cannot predict the occurrence of certain future events that might adversely affect the reported value of goodwill and/or intangible assets. Such events include, but are not limited to, strategic decisions made in response to economic and competitive conditions, the impact of the economic environment on our customer base, or material negative change in relationship with significant customers.
Property and equipment is initially stated at cost. Depreciation on property and equipment is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the property and equipment after consideration of historical results and anticipated results based on our current plans. Our estimated useful lives represent the period the asset remains in service assuming normal routine maintenance. We review the estimated useful lives assigned to property and equipment when our business experience suggests that they do not properly reflect the consumption of economic benefits embodied in the property and equipment nor result in the appropriate matching of cost against revenue. Factors that lead to such a conclusion may include physical observation of asset usage, examination of realized gains and losses on asset disposals and consideration of market trends such as technological obsolescence or change in market demand.
Significant intangibles, including contract rights, customer relationships, non-compete agreements and technology are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the intangible asset after consideration of historical results and anticipated results based on our current plans. With respect to contract rights in our Atlantic Aviation business, we take into consideration the history of contract right renewals in determining our assessment of useful life and the corresponding amortization period.
We perform impairment reviews of property and equipment and intangibles subject to amortization, when events or circumstances indicate that assets are less than their carrying amount and the undiscounted cash
33
flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the carrying amount of those assets. In this circumstance, the impairment charge is determined based upon the amount by which the net book value of the assets exceeds their fair market value. Any impairment is measured by comparing the fair value of the asset to its carrying value.
The implied fair value of reporting units and fair value of property and equipment and intangible assets is determined by our management and is generally based upon future cash flow projections for the acquired assets, discounted to present value. We use outside valuation experts when management considers that it is appropriate to do so.
We test for impairment of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets annually as of October 1st or when there is an indicator of impairment.
For quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk, see Part II, Item 7A Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013. Our exposure to market risk has not changed materially since February 19, 2014, our 10-K filing date.
Under the direction and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2014. There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2014 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Weighted average number of shares outstanding: diluted | 56,382,205 | 47,603,257 |
The effect of potentially dilutive shares for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 is calculated assuming that the 12,910 restricted stock unit grants provided to the independent directors on May 20, 2013, which will vest during the second quarter of 2014, had been fully converted to shares on the grant date.
The effect of potentially dilutive shares for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 is calculated assuming that the 18,208 restricted stock unit grants provided to the independent directors on May 31, 2012, which vested during the second quarter of 2013, and the 895 restricted stock unit grants issued on February 21, 2013, which vested during the second quarter of 2013, had been fully converted to shares on those grant dates.
During 2013, the Company invested in three utility-scale solar photovoltaic contracted power generation facilities, one at Davis Monthan Air Force Base (the DMAFB Project) located in Tucson, Arizona, one in Valley Center, California (the Valley Center Project) and one near Ramona, California (the Ramona Project). These three projects commenced operations during December of 2013 and have a combined generating capacity of 27 megawatts (MWac) of electricity.
The acquisition price can vary depending on, among other things, factors such as the size of project, power purchase agreement (PPA) contract terms, eligibility for tax incentives, debt package, operating cost structure and development stage. A completed project takes out all of the construction risk, testing and costs associated with construction contracts.
The solar power generation businesses, within the Contracted Power and Energy segment, are held in LLCs with a co-investor. Each projects taxable income for the first five years is expected to be a loss due to accelerated depreciation, with 99% of the taxable loss, subject to certain adjustments that are not expected to be significant, allocated to the co-investor. Accordingly, these projects should have a nominal effect on MICs consolidated current taxable income for at least the first five years of each project. The projects do not pay federal or state income taxes on a standalone basis, as the projects are treated as a partnership for tax purposes, with each member paying federal and state income taxes on their allocated taxable income.
MIC has certain rights to make decisions over the management and operations of the projects and the Company has determined that it is appropriate to consolidate the projects with the co-investors interest reflected as a noncontrolling interest in the consolidated condensed financial statements.

On July 19, 2013, the Company contributed $7.9 million, as a capital investment, and completed the acquisition of the DMAFB Project for an initial purchase price of $11.0 million subject to customary closing conditions described below. The Company entered into an LLC agreement with a noncontrolling interest co-investor who made a capital contribution of $23.0 million during the fourth quarter of 2013. The purchase price was adjusted by $1.5 million in the first quarter of 2014 in accordance with the acquisition agreement, which includes provisions that adjusted the purchase price based on final construction costs, financing terms and other insignificant project-related costs. As a result, a final payment of $1.2 million was made during the first quarter of 2014, resulting in a final purchase price of $9.5 million for this project. This facility is expected to generate approximately 13 megawatts of electricity.
In connection with the acquisition, the Company assumed $22.4 million in construction financing. The DMAFB Project commenced operations during December of 2013. The construction loan was converted to term debt during February of 2014.
On September 20, 2013, the Company contributed $6.8 million, as a capital investment, and completed the acquisition of the Valley Center Project for a purchase price of $5.6 million. The Company entered into an LLC agreement with a noncontrolling interest co-investor who made a capital contribution of $14.5 million during the fourth quarter of 2013. This facility is expected to generate approximately 7 megawatts of electricity.
In connection with the acquisition, the Company entered into a construction loan agreement and drew down $10.2 million. The Valley Center Project commenced operations during December of 2013. The construction loan was converted to term debt during February of 2014.
On October 8, 2013, the Company contributed $6.1 million, as a capital investment, and completed the acquisition of the Ramona Project for a purchase price of $4.9 million. The Company entered into an LLC agreement with a noncontrolling interest co-investor who made a capital contribution of $13.8 million during the fourth quarter of 2013. This facility is expected to generate approximately 7 megawatts of electricity.
In connection with the acquisition, the Company entered into a construction loan agreement and drew down $10.4 million. The Ramona Project commenced operations during December of 2013. The construction loan was converted to term debt during February of 2014.
Had the DMAFB Project, Valley Center Project and Ramona Project acquisitions occurred as of January 1, 2013, the Companys consolidated results of operations would not have been materially different. For the quarter ended March 31, 2014 and the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company recorded transaction related costs of $228,000 and $2.2 million, respectively, in selling, general, and administrative expense for these investments.
On December 6, 2013, Atlantic Aviation completed the acquisition of the assets and liabilities of the fixed based operations (FBO) at Charles B. Wheeler Downtown Airport in Kansas City, Missouri, for $8.1 million (referred to as MKC). The acquisition will expand the business network in the midwest and was funded from additional debt raised by the business during the fourth quarter of 2013.
The acquisition has been accounted for as a business combination. Accordingly, the results of operations of MKC are included in the consolidated condensed statement of operations, and as a component of the Companys Atlantic Aviation business segment, since December 6, 2013.

Had the acquisition occurred as of January 1, 2013, the consolidated results of operations would not have been materially different. For the quarter ended March 31, 2014 and year ended December 31, 2013, Atlantic Aviation recorded transaction related costs of $65,000 and $331,000, respectively, in selling, general and administrative expense for this investment.

On May 31, 2013, Atlantic Aviation entered into a credit agreement (the AA Credit Agreement), that provides the business with a seven-year, $465.0 million senior secured first lien term loan facility. On November 7, 2013, the business entered into an incremental $50.0 million term loan under the AA Credit Agreement that provides the business with a seven-year senior secured first lien term loan facility. The interest rate on these term loan facilities floats at LIBOR plus 2.50%, with minimum LIBOR of 0.75%. The floating rate has effectively been fixed for 6 years using interest rate swaps. The AA Credit Agreement also provides for a five-year, $70.0 million senior secured first lien revolving credit facility that bears interest at LIBOR plus 2.50%.
On January 22, 2014, Atlantic Aviation entered into an incremental $100.0 million term loan facility on the same terms as the AA Credit Agreement described above. At March 31, 2014, this facility remains undrawn.
Atlantic Aviation also has stand-alone debt facilities used to fund construction at its FBOs. At March 31, 2014, the balances on the stand-alone facilities were $5.1 million. The Company has classified $551,000 relating to the stand-alone debt facilities in the current portion of long-term debt in the consolidated condensed balance sheet at March 31, 2014.
The Company classified $149.9 million relating to its district energy business debt in the current portion of long-term debt in the consolidated condensed balance sheet at March 31, 2014, as its debt facilities mature in September of 2014. During the quarter ended March 31, 2014 and in April of 2014, the district energy business repaid $4.2 million and $2.1 million, respectively, on its outstanding debt balance.
At March 31, 2014, the solar power generation businesses, within the Contracted Power and Energy segment, had $141.7 million of amortizing term loan debt outstanding, of which $4.6 million was recorded as current portion of long-term debt in the consolidated condensed balance sheet. During February of 2014, the construction loans for the DMAFB Project, Valley Center Project and Ramona Project converted to term debt. The interest rate related to the DMAFB Projects term debt, of $27.6 million, is fixed at 5.138% through
44
maturity in December of 2033. The interest rate related to the Valley Center Projects term debt, of $16.9 million, is fixed at 5.60% through maturity in September of 2036. The interest rate related to the Ramona Projects term debt, of $15.9 million, is fixed at 5.47% through maturity in September of 2036.
The Company and its businesses have in place variable-rate debt. Management believes that it is prudent to limit the variability of a portion of the business interest payments. To meet this objective, the Company enters into interest rate swap agreements to manage fluctuations in cash flows resulting from interest rate risk on a portion of its debt with a variable-rate component. These swaps change the variable-rate cash flow exposure on the debt obligations to fixed cash flows. Under the terms of the interest rate swaps, the Company receives variable interest rate payments and makes fixed interest rate payments, thereby creating the equivalent of fixed-rate debt for the portion of the debt that is swapped.
At March 31, 2014, the Company had $987.9 million of current and long-term debt, $740.1 million of which was economically hedged with interest rate contracts and $247.8 million of which was unhedged.
Effective February 25, 2009 for Atlantic Aviation and effective April 1, 2009 for the Companys other businesses, the Company elected to discontinue hedge accounting. In prior periods, when the Company applied hedge accounting, changes in the fair value of derivatives that effectively offset the variability of cash flows on the Companys debt interest obligations were recorded in other comprehensive income or loss. From the dates that hedge accounting was discontinued, all movements in the fair value of the interest rate swaps are recorded directly through earnings. As interest payments are made, a portion of the other comprehensive loss recorded under hedge accounting is also reclassified into earnings. The Company will reclassify into earnings $618,000 of derivative losses, included in accumulated other comprehensive loss as of March 31, 2014, within the next 12 months.
Excess cash flow generated from the district energy business must be applied toward the principal balance of the term loan during the last two years before maturity. The district energy business is expected to record additional reclassifications from accumulated other comprehensive loss to interest expense when the business pays down its debt more quickly than anticipated.
The Company measures derivative instruments at fair value using the income approach which discounts the future net cash settlements expected under the derivative contracts to a present value. These valuations utilize primarily observable (level 2) inputs, including contractual terms, interest rates and yield curves observable at commonly quoted intervals.
The Companys fair value measurements of its derivative instruments and the related location of the assets and liabilities associated with the hedging instruments within the consolidated condensed balance sheets at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 were as follows ($ in thousands):

The Company is authorized to issue 500,000,000 LLC interests. Each outstanding LLC interest of the Company is entitled to one vote on any matter with respect to which holders of LLC interests are entitled to vote.
On April 8, 2013, the Company filed an automatic shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (shelf) with the Securities and Exchange Commission to issue and sell an indeterminate amount of its LLC interests and debt securities in one or more future offerings. Along with the shelf, the Company filed a prospectus supplement with respect to a dividend reinvestment/direct stock purchase program named MIC Direct. The prospectus supplement relates to the issuance of up to 1.0 million additional LLC interests to participants in MIC Direct. At March 31, 2014, 998,236 LLC interests remained unissued under MIC Direct. The Company may also choose to fill requests for reinvestment of dividends or share purchases through MIC Direct via open market purchases.

The Companys businesses consist of three reportable segments: Hawaii Gas, Atlantic Aviation and Contracted Power and Energy. The Company also has a 50% investment in IMTT, which is accounted for under the equity method. Prior to 2013 year-end, the Company reported the solar power generation businesses and the district energy business in separate reportable segments. The Company assessed its businesses and operating segments and determined to combine these two businesses into one reportable segment covering the Companys long-term Contracted Power and Energy segment, which the Company believes better reflects how these businesses are managed and allocated capital.

All of the business segments, including the two businesses within Contracted Power and Energy, are managed separately and management has chosen to organize the Company around the distinct products and services offered.
IMTT provides bulk liquid terminal and handling services in North America through ten terminals located on the East, West and Gulf Coasts, the Great Lakes region of the United States and partially owned terminals in Quebec and Newfoundland, Canada. IMTT derives the majority of its revenue from storage and handling of petroleum products, various chemicals, renewable fuels, and vegetable and animal oils. Based on storage capacity, IMTT operates one of the largest third-party bulk liquid terminals businesses in the United States.
The revenue from the Hawaii Gas segment is included in revenue from product sales. Revenue is generated from the distribution and sales of synthetic natural gas, or SNG, and liquefied petroleum gas, or LPG. Revenue is primarily a function of the volume of SNG and LPG consumed by customers and the price per thermal unit or gallon charged to customers. Because both SNG and LPG are derived from petroleum, revenue levels, without organic growth, will generally track global oil prices. The utility revenue of Hawaii Gas reflects fuel adjustment charges, or FACs, through which changes in fuel costs are passed through to customers.
The Atlantic Aviation business segment derives the majority of its revenues from fuel sales and from other airport services, including de-icing, aircraft hangarage and other aviation services. All of the revenue of Atlantic Aviation is generated at airports in the U.S., of which there were 63 at March 31, 2014. Revenues from Atlantic Aviation are included in revenue from product sales and service revenue.
The Contracted Power and Energy business segment derives revenue from the solar power generation and district energy businesses. Revenues from the solar power generation businesses are included in revenue from product sales. As of March 31, 2014, the Company has invested in five utility-scale photovoltaic power generation facilities that are located in the southwest United States that are expected to have an aggregate generating capacity of 57 megawatts of wholesale electricity to utilities. Owners of solar photovoltaic power
48
generation facilities sell substantially all of the electricity generated from these facilities at a fixed price to electric utilities pursuant to a long-term (typically 20 25 years) PPAs.
Revenues from the district energy business are included in service revenue and financing and equipment lease income. Included in service revenue is capacity revenue, which relates to monthly fixed contract charges, and consumption revenue, which relates to contractual rates applied to actual usage. Financing and equipment lease income relates to direct financing lease transactions and equipment leases to the business various customers. Finance lease revenue, recorded on the consolidated condensed statement of operations, is the interest portion of lease payments received from equipment leases with various customers primarily in Las Vegas. The principal portion of the cash receipts on these equipment leases are recorded in the operating activities of the consolidated condensed cash flow statements. The district energy business provides its services to buildings primarily in the downtown Chicago, Illinois area and to a casino and a shopping mall located in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Selected information by segment is presented in the following tables. The tables do not include financial data for the Companys equity investment in IMTT.

In accordance with FASB ASC 280 Segment Reporting, the Company has disclosed earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) excluding non-cash items as a key performance metric relied on by management in the evaluation of the Companys performance. Non-cash items include impairments, derivative gains and losses and adjustments for other non-cash items reflected in the statements of operations. The Company believes EBITDA excluding non-cash items provides additional insight into the performance of the operating businesses relative to each other and similar businesses without regard to their capital structure, and their ability to service or reduce debt, fund capital expenditures and/or support distributions to the holding company. EBITDA excluding non-cash items is reconciled to net income or loss.
EBITDA excluding non-cash items for the Companys consolidated reportable segments is shown in the tables below ($ in thousands). Allocations of corporate expenses, intercompany fees and the tax effect have been excluded as they are eliminated on consolidation.

The Company believes that it will be able to utilize its federal prior year NOLs, except for approximately $7.8 million. During the quarter ended March 31, 2014, the Company recorded a decrease of approximately $905,000 to the valuation allowance for the realization of deferred tax assets attributable to certain state NOLs. Two of the Companys businesses, IMTT and its district energy business, a component of the Contracted Power and Energy segment, are less than 80% owned by the Company and those businesses file separate federal consolidated income tax returns.
The subsidiaries of MIC Inc. are subject to legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. In managements opinion, the Company has adequate legal defenses and/or insurance coverage with respect to the eventuality of such actions, and does not believe the outcome of any pending legal proceedings will be material to the Companys financial position or result of operations.
On April 30, 2014, Atlantic Aviation completed the acquisition of the assets and liabilities of Galaxy Aviation and Boca Aviation (collectively the Galaxy Acquisitions). The Galaxy Acquisitions included substantially all of the assets of six FBOs and one new hangar that is currently under construction at one of the six airports at which the FBOs operate. The aggregate purchase price of $230.0 million was funded using cash that had previously been raised or generated and debt facilities that had previously been arranged.
On April 28, 2014, the board of directors declared a dividend of $0.9375 per share for the quarter ended March 31, 2014, which is expected to be paid on May 15, 2014 to holders of record on May 12, 2014.
Distributions calculated in accordance with the Shareholders Agreement between MIC and its co-investor in IMTT (Voting Trust) for the first quarter of 2014 were $58.5 million ($29.3 million per shareholder). On April 22, 2014, the Board of IMTT unanimously declared a distribution of this amount. The first quarter of 2014 distribution was paid on April 28, 2014.
In April of 2014, the Company signed a Stock Purchase Agreement to sell its interest in the district energy business. The sale is expected to conclude in the second half of 2014, subject to certain customary closing conditions, and the net proceeds are expected to be reinvested in the Contracted Power and Energy business.
