NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.	Organization, Description of Business and Basis of Presentation

Organization

Unless indicated otherwise, the terms “our,” “we,” “us” and similar language refer to Magellan Midstream Partners, L.P. together with its subsidiaries. Magellan Midstream Partners, L.P. is a Delaware limited partnership, and its limited partner units are traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol “MMP.” Magellan GP, LLC, a wholly-owned Delaware limited liability company, serves as its general partner.

Description of Business

We are principally engaged in the transportation, storage and distribution of refined petroleum products and crude oil. As of March 31, 2019, our asset portfolio consisted of:


•	our refined products segment, comprised of our approximately 9,700-mile refined products pipeline system with 53 terminals as well as 25 independent terminals not connected to our pipeline system and our 1,100-mile ammonia pipeline system;

•

our crude oil segment, comprised of approximately 2,200 miles of crude oil pipelines, a condensate splitter and 33 million barrels of aggregate storage capacity, of which approximately 21 million barrels are used for contract storage. Approximately 1,000 miles of these pipelines, the condensate splitter and 28 million barrels of this storage capacity (including 19 million barrels used for contract storage) are wholly-owned, and the remainder is owned through joint ventures; and


•	our marine storage segment, consisting of six marine terminals located along coastal waterways with an aggregate storage capacity of approximately 27 million barrels. Five of these terminals and approximately 25 million barrels of this storage capacity are wholly-owned, and the remainder is owned through joint ventures.

Terminology common in our industry includes the following terms, which describe products that we transport, store and distribute through our pipelines and terminals:


•	refined products are the output from refineries and are primarily used as fuels by consumers. Refined products include gasoline, diesel fuel, aviation fuel, kerosene and heating oil. Collectively, diesel fuel, kerosene and heating oil are referred to as distillates;


•	liquefied petroleum gases, or LPGs, are produced as by-products of the crude oil refining process and in connection with natural gas production. LPGs include butane and propane;


•	blendstocks are blended with refined products to change or enhance their characteristics such as increasing a gasoline’s octane or oxygen content. Blendstocks include alkylates, oxygenates and natural gasoline;


•	heavy oils and feedstocks are used as burner fuels or feedstocks for further processing by refineries and petrochemical facilities. Heavy oils and feedstocks include No. 6 fuel oil and vacuum gas oil;


•	crude oil, which includes condensate, is used as feedstock by refineries, splitters and petrochemical facilities; and

MAGELLAN MIDSTREAM PARTNERS, L.P.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)


•	biofuels, such as ethanol and biodiesel, are typically blended with other refined products as required by government mandates.

We use the term petroleum products to describe any, or a combination, of the above-noted products.

Basis of Presentation

In the opinion of management, our accompanying consolidated financial statements which are unaudited, except for the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2018, which is derived from our audited financial statements, include all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly our financial position as of March 31, 2019, the results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2019 and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2019. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2019 for several reasons. Profits from our butane blending activities are realized largely during the first and fourth quarters of each year. Additionally, gasoline demand, which drives transportation volumes and revenues on our refined products pipeline system, generally trends higher during the summer driving months. Further, the volatility of commodity prices impacts the profits from our commodity activities and, to a lesser extent, the volume of petroleum products we transport on our pipelines.

Pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the financial statements in this report do not include all of the information and notes normally included with financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities that exist at the date of our consolidated financial statements, as well as their impact on the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

New Accounting Pronouncements - Adopted by us on January 1, 2019

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). This ASU requires lessees to recognize a right of use asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases, with the exception of short-term leases. The new accounting model for lessors remains largely the same, although some changes have been made to align it with the new lessee model and the new revenue recognition guidance. This update also requires companies to include additional disclosures regarding their lessee and lessor agreements. We adopted this standard on January 1, 2019, and it did not have a material impact on our consolidated statements of income or our leverage ratio as defined in our credit agreement. Adoption of this ASU resulted in an increase in our assets and liabilities by approximately $172 million due to the recognition of right of use assets and lease liabilities. See Note 7 – Leases for our lease disclosures.

3.	Segment Disclosures

Our reportable segments are strategic business units that offer different products and services. Our segments are managed separately as each segment requires different marketing strategies and business knowledge. Management evaluates performance based on segment operating margin, which includes revenue from affiliates and external customers, operating expenses, cost of product sales and earnings of non-controlled entities.

We believe that investors benefit from having access to the same financial measures used by management. Operating margin, which is presented in the following tables, is an important measure used by management to evaluate the economic performance of our core operations. Operating margin is not a GAAP measure, but the components of operating margin are computed using amounts that are determined in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of operating margin to operating profit, which is its nearest comparable GAAP financial measure, is included in the tables below (presented in thousands). Operating profit includes depreciation, amortization and impairment expense and general and administrative (“G&A”) expense that management does not consider when evaluating the core profitability of our separate operating segments.

7.	Leases

As of January 1, 2019, we adopted ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) using the modified retrospective method of adoption. We elected to use the transition option that allows us to initially apply the new lease standard at the adoption date and recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment (if any) to the opening balance of retained earnings in the year of adoption. Comparable periods continue to be presented under the guidance of the previous standard, ASC 840. ASC 842 requires lessees to recognize a lease liability and right-of-use asset on the balance sheet for operating leases. For lessors, the new accounting model remains largely the same, although some changes have been made to align it with the new lessee model and the new revenue recognition guidance, ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Our adoption of ASC 842 did not result in any material adjustments to retained earnings, changes in the timing or amounts of lease costs or changes to our leverage ratio as defined in our credit agreement.

MAGELLAN MIDSTREAM PARTNERS, L.P.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

We have both lessee and lessor arrangements. Our leases are evaluated at inception or at any subsequent modification. Depending on the terms, leases are classified as either operating or finance leases if we are the lessee, or as operating, sales-type or direct financing leases if we are the lessor, as appropriate under ASC 842. Our lessee arrangements primarily include a terminalling and storage contract where we have exclusive use of dedicated tankage, leased pipelines and office buildings. Our lessor arrangements include pipeline capacity and storage contracts and our condensate splitter tolling agreement that qualify as operating leases under ASC 842. In addition, we have a long-term throughput and deficiency agreement with a customer that is being accounted for as a sales-type lease under ASC 842.

In accordance with ASC 842, we have made an accounting policy election to not apply the new standard to lessee arrangements with a term of one year or less and no purchase option that is reasonably certain of exercise. We will continue to account for these short-term arrangements by recognizing payments and expenses as incurred, without recording a lease liability and right-of-use asset.

We have also made an accounting policy election for both our lessee and lessor arrangements to combine lease and non-lease components. This election is applied to all of our lease arrangements as our non-lease components are not material and do not result in significant timing differences in the recognition of rental expenses or income.

Operating Leases – Lessee

We recognize a lease liability for each lease based on the present value of remaining minimum fixed rental payments (which includes payments under any renewal option that we are reasonably certain to exercise), using a discount rate that approximates the rate of interest we would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term. We also recognize a right-of-use asset for each lease, valued at the lease liability, adjusted for prepaid or accrued rent balances existing at the time of initial recognition. The lease liability and right-of-use asset are reduced over the term of the lease as payments are made and the assets are used.

Related Party Operating Lease. In third quarter 2018, we entered into a long-term terminalling and storage contract with our equity investee, Seabrook, where we have exclusive use of dedicated tankage that is utilized to provide our customers with crude oil storage capacity and dock access for crude oil imports and exports on the Texas Gulf Coast. This arrangement meets the definition of an operating lease, and our lease liability includes renewal options necessary to maintain control of the assets for a time period sufficient to meet our performance obligations to our third-party customers.

Minimum fixed rental payments are recognized on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease as costs and expenses on our consolidated statements of income. Variable and short-term rental payments are recognized as costs and expenses as they are incurred. Variable payments consist of amounts that exceed the contractual minimum rental payment (for example, incremental payment increases tied to a change in a market index). Future minimum rental payments under operating leases with initial terms greater than one year as of March 31, 2019, are as follows (in thousands):

The processing equipment primarily relates to our condensate splitter.

Sales-Type Lease - Lessor

We entered into a long-term throughput and deficiency agreement with a customer on a pipeline and related assets that we constructed in Texas and New Mexico, which contains minimum payment commitments. Our customer has the option to purchase this pipeline and related assets at the end of the lease term for a nominal amount. This agreement was previously accounted for as a direct-financing lease under ASC 840 and is now being accounted for as a sales-type lease under ASC 842.

All of the instruments detailed in the table above are senior indebtedness.

2019 Debt Issuance

On January 18, 2019, we issued $500.0 million of 4.85% senior notes due 2049 in an underwritten public

offering. The notes were issued at 99.371% of par. Net proceeds from this offering were approximately $491.5 million after underwriting discounts and offering expenses. The net proceeds from this offering along with cash on hand were used to early redeem our $550.0 million of 6.55% senior notes due 2019 on February 11, 2019. We recognized $8.3 million of debt prepayment costs that were recorded as interest expense in our consolidated statements of income.

Other Debt

Revolving Credit Facility. At March 31, 2019, the total borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facility maturing October 26, 2022 was $1.0 billion. Any borrowings outstanding under this facility are classified as long-term debt on our consolidated balance sheets. Borrowings under this facility are unsecured and bear interest at LIBOR plus a spread ranging from 1.000% to 1.625% based on our credit ratings. Additionally, an unused commitment fee is assessed at a rate between 0.100% and 0.275% depending on our credit ratings. The unused commitment fee was 0.125% at March 31, 2019. Borrowings under this facility may be used for general partnership purposes, including capital expenditures. As of December 31, 2018 and March 31, 2019, there were no borrowings outstanding under this facility, with $6.8 million and $3.5 million, respectively, obligated for letters of credit.

MAGELLAN MIDSTREAM PARTNERS, L.P.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

Amounts obligated for letters of credit are not reflected as debt on our consolidated balance sheets, but decrease our borrowing capacity under this facility.

Commercial Paper Program. We have a commercial paper program under which we may issue commercial paper notes in an amount up to the available capacity under our $1.0 billion revolving credit facility. The maturities of the commercial paper notes vary, but may not exceed 397 days from the date of issuance. Because the commercial paper we can issue is limited to amounts available under our revolving credit facility, amounts outstanding under the program are classified as long-term debt. The commercial paper notes are sold under customary terms in the commercial paper market and are issued at a discount from par, or alternatively, are sold at par and bear varying interest rates on a fixed or floating basis. The weighted-average interest rate for commercial paper borrowings based on the number of days outstanding was 2.3% for the year ended December 31, 2018 and 2.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2019.


9.	Derivative Financial Instruments

Interest Rate Derivatives

We periodically enter into interest rate derivatives to hedge the fair value of debt or hedge against variability in

interest rates. For interest rate cash flow hedges, we record the noncurrent portion of unrealized gains or losses as an

adjustment to other comprehensive income with the current portion recorded as an adjustment to interest expense.

For fair value hedges on long-term debt, we record the noncurrent portion of gains or losses as an adjustment to

long-term debt with the current portion recorded as an adjustment to interest expense. Adjustments resulting from

discontinued hedges continue to be recognized in accordance with their historic hedging relationships.

At March 31, 2019, we had $100.0 million of treasury lock agreements outstanding to protect against the risk of variability of a portion of debt issuances we anticipate to occur in 2019. The fair value of these interest rate derivative agreements at March 31, 2019 was recorded as a current liability of $4.5 million, with the offset recorded to other comprehensive income. We account for these agreements as cash flow hedges.

In first quarter 2019, upon issuance of $500.0 million of 4.85% notes due 2049, we terminated and settled $150.0 million of treasury lock agreements that we had previously entered into to protect against the variability of interest payments on this anticipated debt issuance for a loss of $8.0 million. These agreements were accounted for as cash flow hedges. The loss was recorded to other comprehensive income and will be recognized into earnings as an adjustment to our periodic interest expense over the life of the debt issuance.

Commodity Derivatives

Our butane blending activities produce gasoline, and we can reasonably estimate the timing and quantities of sales of these products. We use a combination of exchange-traded commodities futures contracts and forward purchase and sale contracts to help manage commodity price changes and mitigate the risk of decline in the product margin realized from our butane blending activities. Further, certain of our other commercial operations generate petroleum products, and we also use futures contracts to hedge against price changes for some of these commodities.

Forward physical purchase and sale contracts that qualify for and are elected as normal purchases and sales are accounted for using traditional accrual accounting, whereby changes in the mark-to-market values of such contracts are not recognized in income; rather the revenues and expenses associated with such transactions are recognized during the period when commodities are physically delivered or received. Physical forward commodity contracts subject to this exception are evaluated for the probability of future delivery and are periodically tested once the

forecasted period has passed to determine whether similar forward contracts are probable of physical delivery in the future.

We record the effective portion of the gains or losses for commodity-based contracts designated as fair value hedges as adjustments to the assets being hedged and the ineffective portions as well as amounts excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness as adjustments to other income or expense. We recognize the change in fair value of economic hedges that hedge against changes in the price of petroleum products that we expect to sell or purchase in the future currently in earnings as adjustments to product sales revenue, cost of product sales or operating expenses, as applicable.

Our open futures contracts at March 31, 2019 were as follows:



Type of Contract/Accounting Methodology	Product Represented by the Contract and Associated Barrels	Maturity Dates
Futures - Economic Hedges	3.3 million barrels of refined products and crude oil	Between April 2019 and January 2020
Futures - Economic Hedges	0.6 million barrels of butane and natural gasoline	Between April 2019 and December 2019

Energy Commodity Derivatives Contracts and Deposits Offsets

At March 31, 2019, we had made margin deposits of $23.8 million for our future contracts with our counterparties, which were recorded as current assets under energy commodity derivatives deposits on our consolidated balance sheets. At December 31, 2018 we held margin deposits of $37.3 million for our future contracts with our counterparties, which were recorded as current liabilities under energy commodity derivatives deposits on our consolidated balance sheets. We have the right to offset the combined fair values of our open futures contracts against our margin deposits under a master netting arrangement for each counterparty; however, we have elected to present the combined fair values of our open futures contracts separately from the related margin deposits on our consolidated balance sheets. Additionally, we have the right to offset the fair values of our futures contracts together for each counterparty, which we have elected to do, and we report the combined net balances on our consolidated balance sheets. A schedule of the derivative amounts we have offset and the deposit amounts we could offset under a master netting arrangement are provided below as of December 31, 2018 and March 31, 2019 (in thousands):

10.	Commitments and Contingencies

Butane Blending Patent Infringement Proceeding

On October 4, 2017, Sunoco Partners Marketing & Terminals L.P. (“Sunoco”) brought an action for patent infringement in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware alleging Magellan Midstream Partners, L.P. (“Magellan”) and Powder Springs Logistics, LLC (“Powder Springs”) have infringed patents relating to butane blending at the Powder Springs facility located in Powder Springs, Georgia. Sunoco has since submitted pleadings alleging that Magellan has also infringed various patents relating to butane blending at nine Magellan facilities, in addition to Powder Springs. Sunoco is seeking an undetermined amount of damages, attorneys’ fees and a permanent injunction enjoining Magellan and Powder Springs from infringing on the subject patents. We deny and are vigorously defending against all claims asserted by Sunoco. Although it is not possible to predict the ultimate

outcome, we believe, based on our current understanding of the applicable facts and law, that the ultimate resolution of this matter will not have a material adverse impact on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Environmental Liabilities

Liabilities recognized for estimated environmental costs were $20.5 million and $18.6 million at December 31, 2018 and March 31, 2019, respectively. We have classified environmental liabilities as current or noncurrent based on management’s estimates regarding the timing of actual payments. Environmental expenses recognized as a result of changes in our environmental liabilities are generally included in operating expenses on our consolidated statements of income. Environmental expenses were $2.5 million and $2.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2019, respectively.

Environmental Receivables

Receivables from insurance carriers and other third parties related to environmental matters were $4.1 million at December 31, 2018, of which $2.4 million and $1.7 million were recorded to other accounts receivable and long-term receivables, respectively, on our consolidated balance sheets. Receivables from insurance carriers and other third parties related to environmental matters were $4.0 million at March 31, 2019, of which $2.4 million and $1.6 million were recorded to other accounts receivable and long-term receivables, respectively, on our consolidated balance sheets.

Other

In connection with the sale of part of our interest in BridgeTex in third quarter 2018, we agreed to indemnify an affiliate of OMERS Infrastructure Management Inc. (“OMERS”) for certain claims involving BridgeTex. The maximum obligation is limited to the net proceeds we received. We probability-weighted potential outcome scenarios to estimate our possible liability for specific events covered by such indemnification obligations. As a result, we reduced the gain recognized on the transaction by $16.0 million and recorded the same estimate in other noncurrent liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets during 2018. In first quarter 2019, certain litigation subject to the indemnification agreement was settled, which resulted in our paying $5.0 million under the indemnification agreement and our recognizing the reduction of the remaining $11.0 million liability as an additional gain on disposition of assets on our consolidated statements of income.

We have entered into an agreement to guarantee our 50% pro rata share, up to $25.0 million, of obligations under Powder Springs’ credit facility. As of March 31, 2019, our consolidated balance sheets reflected a $0.4 million other current liability and a corresponding increase in our investment in non-controlled entities on our consolidated balance sheets to reflect the fair value of this guarantee.

We are a party to various other claims, legal actions and complaints arising in the ordinary course of business. While the results cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes the ultimate resolution of these claims, legal actions and complaints after consideration of amounts accrued, insurance coverage or other indemnification arrangements will not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows.


11.	Long-Term Incentive Plan

The compensation committee of our general partner’s board of directors administers our long-term incentive plan (“LTIP”) covering certain of our employees and the independent directors of our general partner. The LTIP primarily consists of phantom units and permits the grant of awards covering an aggregate payout of 11.9 million of our limited partner units. The estimated units remaining available under the LTIP at March 31, 2019 total 1.6 million.

Our equity-based incentive compensation expense was as follows (in thousands):



	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2018		2019
Performance-based awards	$	5,924	$	3,644
Time-based awards	708		1,270
Total	$	6,632	$	4,914

Allocation of LTIP expense on our consolidated statements of income:
G&A expense	$	6,577	$	4,871
Operating expense	55		43
Total	$	6,632	$	4,914

On February 1, 2019, 347,473 unit awards were granted pursuant to our LTIP. These awards included both performance-based and time-based awards and have a three-year vesting period that will end on December 31, 2021.

Basic and Diluted Net Income Per Limited Partner Unit

The difference between our actual limited partner units outstanding and our weighted-average number of limited partner units outstanding used to calculate basic net income per unit is due to the impact of: (i) the unit awards issued to non-employee directors and (ii) the weighted average effect of units actually issued during a period. The difference between the weighted-average number of limited partner units outstanding used for basic and diluted net income per unit calculations on our consolidated statements of income is primarily the dilutive effect of unit awards associated with our LTIP that have not yet vested.

12.	Partners’ Capital and Distributions

Partners’ Capital

In May 2017, we filed a prospectus supplement to the shelf registration statement for our continuous equity offering program (which we refer to as an at-the-market program, or “ATM”) pursuant to which we may issue up to $750.0 million of common units in amounts, at prices and on terms to be determined by market conditions at the time. The net proceeds from any sales under the ATM, after deducting the sales agents’ commissions and our offering expenses, will be used for general partnership purposes, including repayment of indebtedness or capital expenditures. No units have been issued pursuant to this program.

The following table details the changes in the number of our limited partner units outstanding from December 31, 2018 through March 31, 2019:



Limited partner units outstanding on December 31, 2018		228,195,160

13.	Fair Value

Fair Value Methods and Assumptions - Financial Assets and Liabilities.

We used the following methods and assumptions in estimating fair value of our financial assets and liabilities:


•	Energy commodity derivatives contracts. These include exchange-traded futures contracts related to petroleum products. These contracts are carried at fair value on our consolidated balance sheets and are valued based on quoted prices in active markets. See Note 9 – Derivative Financial Instruments for further disclosures regarding these contracts.

•

Interest rate contracts. These include forward-starting interest rate hedge agreements to protect against the risk of variability of interest payments on future debt. These contracts are carried at fair value on our consolidated balance sheets and are valued based on an assumed exchange, at the end of each period, in an orderly transaction with a participant in the market in which the financial instrument is traded. The exchange value was calculated using present value techniques on estimated future cash flows based on forward interest rate curves. See Note 9 – Derivative Financial Instruments for further disclosures regarding these contracts.


•	Long-term receivables. These primarily include payments receivable under a sales-type leasing arrangement and cost reimbursement payments receivable. These receivables were recorded at fair value on our consolidated balance sheets, using then-current market rates to estimate the present value of future cash flows.

•

Guarantees. At December 31, 2018, these guarantees primarily included an indemnity agreement we entered into with an affiliate of OMERS in connection with the partial sale of our interest in BridgeTex. This indemnification was recorded at fair value on our consolidated balance sheets upon initial recognition, using probability-weighted potential outcome scenarios to estimate our possible liability for specific events covered by this indemnification. During first quarter 2019, certain litigation subject to the indemnity agreement was settled.

•

Debt. The fair value of our publicly traded notes was based on the prices of those notes at December 31, 2018 and March 31, 2019; however, where recent observable market trades were not available, prices were determined using adjustments to the last traded value for that debt issuance or by adjustments to the prices of similar debt instruments of peer entities that are actively traded. The carrying amount of borrowings, if any, under our revolving credit facility and our commercial paper program approximates fair value due to the frequent repricing of these obligations.

Fair Value Measurements - Financial Assets and Liabilities

The following tables summarize the carrying amounts, fair values and fair value measurements recorded or disclosed as of December 31, 2018 and March 31, 2019 based on the three levels established by ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (in thousands):

ITEM 2.	MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Introduction

We are a publicly traded limited partnership principally engaged in the transportation, storage and distribution of refined petroleum products and crude oil. As of March 31, 2019, our asset portfolio consisted of:


•	our refined products segment, comprised of our approximately 9,700-mile refined products pipeline system with 53 terminals as well as 25 independent terminals not connected to our pipeline system and our 1,100-mile ammonia pipeline system;

•

our crude oil segment, comprised of approximately 2,200 miles of crude oil pipelines, a condensate splitter and 33 million barrels of aggregate storage capacity, of which 21 million barrels are used for contract storage. Approximately 1,000 miles of these pipelines, the condensate splitter and 28 million barrels of this storage capacity (including 19 million barrels used for contract storage) are wholly-owned, and the remainder is owned through joint ventures; and


•	our marine storage segment, consisting of six marine terminals located along coastal waterways with an aggregate storage capacity of approximately 27 million barrels. Five of these terminals and approximately 25 million barrels of this storage capacity are wholly-owned, and the remainder is owned through joint ventures.

The following discussion provides an analysis of the results for each of our operating segments, an overview of our liquidity and capital resources and other items related to our partnership. The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with (i) our accompanying interim consolidated financial statements and related notes and (ii) our consolidated financial statements, related notes and management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Recent Developments

Cash Distribution. In April 2019, the board of directors of our general partner declared a quarterly cash distribution of $1.005 per unit for the period of January 1, 2019 through March 31, 2019. This quarterly cash distribution will be paid on May 15, 2019 to unitholders of record on May 8, 2019. Total distributions expected to be paid under this declaration are approximately $229.5 million.

Results of Operations

We believe that investors benefit from having access to the same financial measures utilized by management. Operating margin, which is presented in the following tables, is an important measure used by management to evaluate the economic performance of our core operations. Operating margin is not a generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) measure, but the components of operating margin are computed using amounts that are determined in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of operating margin to operating profit, which is its nearest comparable GAAP financial measure, is included in the following tables. Operating profit includes expense items, such as depreciation, amortization and impairment expense and general and administrative (“G&A”) expense, which management does not focus on when evaluating the core profitability of our separate operating segments. Additionally, product margin, which management primarily uses to evaluate the profitability of our commodity-related activities, is provided in this table. Product margin is a non-GAAP measure; however, its components of product sales revenue and cost of product sales are determined in accordance with GAAP. Our butane blending, fractionation and other commodity-related activities generate significant revenue. We believe the product margin from these activities, which takes into account the related cost of product sales, better represents its importance to our results of operations.

(2) These volumes reflect the total shipments for the Saddlehorn pipeline, which is owned 40% by us.

Transportation and terminals revenue increased $28.9 million resulting from:


•	an increase in refined products revenue of $6.6 million primarily due to a higher average transportation rate per barrel. The average rate per barrel in the current period was favorably impacted by the 2018 mid-year tariff adjustment as well as less volume transported on the supply-driven South Texas pipelines, which move at a much lower rate;

•

an increase in crude oil revenue of $21.3 million primarily due to higher revenues from new system storage and ancillary services that we provided to our shippers in conjunction with capacity from our storage contracts with Seabrook Logistics, LLC (“Seabrook”), as well as higher contribution from our condensate splitter at Corpus Christi and higher transportation volumes as a result of the favorable pricing differential between the Permian Basin and Houston. Overall, the average crude oil rate per barrel decreased between periods due to significantly higher volumes on our Houston distribution system, which move at a lower rate; and


•	an increase in marine storage revenue of $0.9 million primarily due to higher utilization related to timing of maintenance work.

Operating expenses increased by $2.7 million primarily resulting from:


•	a decrease in refined products expenses of $4.4 million primarily due to a pension valuation correction that negatively impacted 2018 results and lower spending for asset integrity in the 2019 period, partially offset by less favorable product overages (which reduce operating expenses);


•	an increase in crude oil expenses of $10.2 million primarily due to fees we paid to Seabrook for contract storage and ancillary services that we utilized to provide services to our shippers and higher spending for asset integrity mainly related to planned maintenance for the condensate splitter during the current period; and


•	a decrease in marine storage expenses of $3.1 million primarily due to lower spending for asset integrity due to timing of tank maintenance.

Product margin decreased $48.1 million primarily due to recognition of losses on futures contracts in the current period compared to gains in first quarter 2018, partially offset by increased butane blending margins on physical sales.

Other income of $6.9 million primarily relates to the favorable benefit of insurance proceeds received in first quarter 2019 related to Hurricane Harvey.

Earnings of non-controlled entities decreased $3.2 million primarily due to lower earnings from BridgeTex Pipeline Company, LLC (“BridgeTex”) following the sale of a portion of our investment in BridgeTex and lower earnings from Powder Springs Logistics, LLC (“Powder Springs”) primarily attributable to lower commodity sales prices, partially offset by higher earnings from Seabrook due to recently completed construction of additional storage and higher earnings from Saddlehorn Pipeline Company, LLC (“Saddlehorn”) due to increased volume from a contractual step-up in committed shipments in September 2018, as well as recently implemented joint tariff arrangements.

Depreciation, amortization and impairment expense increased $9.9 million primarily due to the commencement of depreciation of expansion capital projects recently placed into service and an increase in impairment of assets.

G&A expense decreased $0.5 million primarily due to favorable compensation costs. First quarter 2018 included expense related to a pension valuation correction.

Interest expense, net of interest income and interest capitalized, increased $3.7 million primarily due to $8.3 million of debt prepayment costs in first quarter 2019 related to the early extinguishment of our 6.55% notes that were due July 2019. Otherwise, net interest expense decreased as our average outstanding debt decreased from $4.6

billion in first quarter 2018 to $4.5 billion in first quarter 2019, and our weighted-average interest rate decreased from 4.8% in first quarter 2018 to 4.7% in first quarter 2019.

Gain on disposition of assets was $21.8 million in first quarter 2019. We recognized $11.0 million additional gain related to the 2018 sale of our investment in BridgeTex as certain litigation subject to the indemnification agreement was settled this year and $10.8 million related to our discontinued Delaware Basin pipeline construction project that was recently sold to a third party.

Other expense was $6.7 million favorable as first quarter 2018 included the impact of a pension valuation correction.

Distributable Cash Flow

We calculate the non-GAAP measures of distributable cash flow (“DCF”) and adjusted EBITDA in the table below. Management uses DCF as a basis for recommending to our general partner’s board of directors the amount of cash distributions to be paid to our limited partners each period. Management also uses DCF as a basis for determining the payouts for the performance-based awards issued under our equity-based compensation plan. Adjusted EBITDA is an important measure that we and the investment community use to assess the financial results of an entity. We believe that investors benefit from having access to the same financial measures utilized by management for these evaluations. A reconciliation of DCF and adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2019 to net income, which is its nearest comparable GAAP financial measure, follows (in millions):



	Three Months Ended March 31,						Increase (Decrease)
	2018			2019			Increase (Decrease)
Net income	$	210.9		$	207.7		$	(3.2	)

DCF	$	258.9		$	318.0		$	59.1


(1)	Prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year’s presentation. Depreciation, amortization and impairment expense is excluded from DCF to the extent it represents a non-cash expense.

(2)

Because we intend to satisfy vesting of unit awards under our equity-based long-term incentive compensation plan with the issuance of limited partner units, expenses related to this plan generally are deemed non-cash and added back for DCF purposes. The amounts above have been reduced by $9.3 million and $9.8 million, respectively, for cash payments associated with the plan, which are primarily related to tax withholdings.

(3) Gains on disposition of assets are excluded from DCF to the extent they are not related to our ongoing operations. The 2019 period includes a $10.8 million gain on the sale of residual assets related to the development of expansion projects which are considered ongoing in nature, and as such are included in DCF.

(4) Certain derivatives we use as economic hedges have not been designated as hedges for accounting purposes and the mark-to-market changes of these derivatives are recognized currently in net income. We exclude the net impact of these hedges from our determination of DCF until the related products are physically sold. In the period in which these hedged products are physically sold, the net impact of the associated hedges is included in our determination of DCF.


(5)	We adjust DCF for lower of average cost or net realizable value adjustments related to inventory and firm purchase commitments as well as market valuation of short positions recognized each period as these are non-cash items. In subsequent periods when we physically sell or purchase the related products, we adjust DCF for the valuation adjustments previously recognized.


(6)	Other adjustments in 2018 include a $3.6 million adjustment recorded to partners’ capital as required by our adoption of Accounting Standards Update 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The amount represents cash that we had previously received for deficiency payments, but did not yet recognize in net income under the previous revenue recognition standard.


(7)	Interest expense in 2019 includes $8.3 million of debt prepayment costs which are excluded from DCF as they are financing activities and are not related to our ongoing operations.


(8)	Maintenance capital expenditures maintain our existing assets and do not generate incremental DCF (i.e. incremental returns to our unitholders). For this reason, we deduct maintenance capital expenditures to determine DCF.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Flows and Capital Expenditures

Operating Activities. Operating cash flows consist of net income adjusted for certain non-cash items and changes in certain assets and liabilities.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $277.9 million and $206.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2019, respectively. The $71.3 million decrease in 2019 was due to changes in our working capital, adjustments for non-cash items and lower net income as previously described.

Investing Activities. Investing cash flows consist primarily of capital expenditures and investments in non-controlled entities.

Net cash used by investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2019 was $160.2 million and $221.9 million, respectively. During the 2019 period, we incurred $260.7 million for capital expenditures, which included $22.5 million for maintenance capital, $204.0 million for our expansion capital projects and $34.2 million for undivided joint interest projects for which cash was received from a third party. Additionally, we contributed net capital of $69.1 million in conjunction with our joint ventures, which we account for as investments in non-controlled entities, of which $64.1 million related to capital projects. During the 2018 period, we incurred $105.4 million for capital expenditures, which included $14.9 million for maintenance capital and $90.5 million for expansion capital, and we contributed capital of $61.0 million in conjunction with our joint venture capital projects.

Financing Activities. Financing cash flows consist primarily of distributions to our unitholders and borrowings and repayments under our commercial paper program.

Net cash used by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2019 was $219.5 million and $243.4 million, respectively. During the 2019 period, we paid cash distributions of $227.8 million to our unitholders. Additionally, we received net proceeds of $496.9 million from borrowings under long-term notes and had net commercial paper borrowings of $69.0 million, which were used to repay our $550.0 million of 6.55% notes due 2019. Also, in January 2019, our equity-based incentive compensation awards that vested December 31, 2018 were settled by issuing 208,268 limited partner units and distributing those units to the long-term incentive plan (“LTIP”) participants, resulting in payments primarily associated with tax withholdings of $9.8 million. During the 2018 period, we paid cash distributions of $209.9 million to our unitholders. Also, in January 2018, our equity-based

incentive compensation awards that vested December 31, 2017 were settled by issuing 168,913 limited partner units and distributing those units to the LTIP participants, resulting in payments primarily associated with tax withholdings of $9.3 million.

The quarterly distribution amount related to our first quarter 2019 financial results (to be paid in second quarter 2019) is $1.005 per unit. If we are able to meet management’s targeted distribution growth of 5% during 2019 and the number of outstanding limited partner units remains at 228.4 million, total cash distributions of approximately $928 million will be paid to our unitholders related to 2019 earnings. Management believes we will have sufficient DCF to fund these distributions.

Capital Requirements

Our businesses require continual investments to maintain, upgrade or enhance existing operations and to ensure compliance with safety and environmental regulations. Capital spending consists primarily of:


•	Maintenance capital expenditures. These expenditures include costs required to maintain equipment reliability and safety and to address environmental or other regulatory requirements rather than to generate incremental DCF; and

•

Expansion capital expenditures. These expenditures are undertaken primarily to generate incremental DCF and include costs to acquire additional assets to grow our business and to expand or upgrade our existing facilities, which we refer to as organic growth projects. Organic growth projects include, for example, capital expenditures that increase storage or throughput volumes or develop pipeline connections to new supply sources.

For the three months ended March 31, 2019, our maintenance capital spending was $22.5 million. For 2019, we expect to spend approximately $95 million on maintenance capital.

During the first three months of 2019, we spent $204.0 million for our expansion capital projects and contributed $64.1 million for capital projects in conjunction with our joint ventures. Based on the progress of expansion projects already underway, we expect to spend approximately $1.1 billion in 2019 and $150 million in 2020 to complete our current projects.

Liquidity

Cash generated from operations is our primary source of liquidity for funding debt service, maintenance capital expenditures and quarterly distributions to our unitholders. Additional liquidity for other purposes, such as expansion capital expenditures and debt repayments, is available through borrowings under our commercial paper program and revolving credit facility, as well as from other borrowings or issuances of debt or limited partner units (see Note 8 – Debt and Note 12 – Partners’ Capital and Distributions of the consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 of Part I of this report for detail of our borrowings and changes in partners’ capital). If capital markets do not permit us to issue additional debt and equity securities, our business may be adversely affected, and we may not be able to acquire additional assets and businesses, fund organic growth projects or continue paying cash distributions at the current level.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

None.

Environmental

Our operations are subject to federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations. We have accrued liabilities for estimated costs at our facilities and properties. We record liabilities when environmental costs are probable and can be reasonably estimated. The determination of amounts recorded for environmental liabilities involves significant judgments and assumptions by management. Due to the inherent uncertainties involved in determining environmental liabilities, it is reasonably possible that the actual amounts required to extinguish these liabilities could be materially different from those we have recognized.

Other Items

Executive Officer Promotions. Aaron Milford, Chief Financial Officer and Senior Vice President, has been elected by our general partner’s board of directors as Chief Operating Officer effective May 1, 2019. Mr. Milford has worked in the energy industry for 24 years with extensive experience in financial analysis, mergers and acquisitions and business development and has spent his entire career with us or our predecessors.

Jeff Holman, Vice President, Finance and Treasurer, has been elected by our general partner’s board of directors as Chief Financial Officer and Senior Vice President, also effective May 1, 2019, filling the vacancy created by Mr. Milford’s promotion. Mr. Holman has been with Magellan since our inception and has served in his most recent role since 2010 and other senior-level finance positions prior to 2010.

Permian Gulf Coast Pipeline. In September 2018, we announced plans to jointly develop a new crude oil pipeline with Energy Transfer LP, MPLX LP and Delek US Holdings, Inc. to deliver crude oil from the Permian Basin to our terminal in the Houston area and Energy Transfer’s terminal in Nederland, Texas. Due to recent developments, it is unlikely that the Permian Gulf Coast pipeline project as initially announced will proceed, and, therefore, we have decreased our expansion capital spending projections by approximately $200 million for 2019 and $250 million for 2020 to reflect our previously expected share of the project. We continue to actively develop a crude oil pipeline project in the Permian Basin, but the probability of success is unknown at this time.

Commodity Derivative Agreements. Certain of the business activities in which we engage result in our owning various commodities, which exposes us to commodity price risk. We use forward physical commodity contracts and exchange-traded futures contracts to help manage this commodity price risk. We use forward physical contracts to purchase butane and sell refined products. We account for these forward physical contracts as normal purchase and sale contracts, using traditional accrual accounting. We use futures contracts to hedge against changes in prices of petroleum products that we expect to sell or purchase in future periods. We use and account for those futures contracts that qualify for hedge accounting treatment as either cash flow or fair value hedges, and we use and account for those futures contracts that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment as economic hedges.

As of March 31, 2019, our open derivative contracts and the impact of the derivatives we settled during the period were comprised of futures contracts used to hedge sales and purchases of refined products, crude oil and butane related to our butane blending and fractionation activities, tender deductions and product overages. These contracts were accounted for as economic hedges, with the change in fair value of contracts that hedge future sales recorded to product sales, and the change in fair value of contracts that hedge future purchases recorded to cost of product sales.

For further information regarding the quantities of refined products and crude oil hedged at March 31, 2019 and the fair value of open hedge contracts at that date, please see Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

The following tables provide a summary of the impacts of the mark-to-market gains and losses associated with these futures contracts on our results of operations for the respective periods presented (in millions):



	Three Months Ended March 31, 2018
	Product Sales Revenue			Cost of Product Sales			Net Impact on Net Income
Losses recorded on open futures contracts during the period	$	(6.4	)	$	(1.5	)	$	(7.9	)
Losses recognized on settled futures contracts during the period	(1.0		)	(2.4		)	(3.4		)
Net impact of futures contracts	$	(7.4	)	$	(3.9	)	$	(11.3	)



	Three Months Ended March 31, 2019
	Product Sales Revenue			Cost of Product Sales			Net Impact on Net Income

ITEM 3.	QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We may be exposed to market risk through changes in commodity prices and interest rates and have established policies to monitor and control these market risks. We use derivative agreements to help manage our exposure to commodity price and interest rate risks.

Commodity Price Risk

Our commodity price risk primarily arises from our butane blending and fractionation activities, and from managing product overages associated with our refined products and crude oil pipelines. We use derivatives such as forward physical contracts and exchange-traded futures contracts to help us manage commodity price risk.

Forward physical contracts that qualify for and are elected as normal purchases and sales are accounted for using traditional accrual accounting. As of March 31, 2019, we had commitments under forward purchase and sale contracts as follows (in millions):



	Total		2019		2020-2021
Forward purchase contracts – notional value	$	51.7	$	37.5	$	14.2
Forward purchase contracts – barrels	1.4		1.0		0.4
Forward sales contracts – notional value	$	27.5	$	27.5	$	—
Forward sales contracts – barrels	0.3		0.3		—

We also use exchange-traded futures contracts to hedge against changes in the price of petroleum products we expect to sell or purchase. Virtually all of our open contracts did not qualify for hedge accounting treatment under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and we accounted for these contracts as economic hedges, with changes in fair value recognized currently in earnings. The fair value of these open futures contracts, representing 3.3 million barrels of petroleum products we expect to sell and 0.6 million barrels of butane we expect to purchase, was a net liability of $13.3 million. With respect to these contracts, a $10.00 per barrel increase (decrease) in the prices of petroleum products we expect to sell would result in a $33.0 million decrease (increase) in our operating profit, while a $10.00 per barrel increase (decrease) in the price of butane we expect to purchase would result in $6.0 million increase (decrease) in our operating profit. These increases or decreases in operating profit would be substantially offset by higher or lower product sales revenue or cost of product sales when the physical sale or purchase of those products occurs. These contracts may be for the purchase or sale of products in markets different from those in which we are attempting to hedge our exposure, and the resulting hedges may not eliminate all price risks.

Interest Rate Risk

Our use of variable rate debt and any forecasted issuances of fixed rate debt expose us to interest rate risk.

We have entered into $100.0 million of interest rate derivatives to protect against the risk of variability of interest payments on debt we anticipate issuing in the future. The fair value of these contracts at March 31, 2019 was a net liability of $4.5 million. We account for these agreements as cash flow hedges. A 0.125% decrease in interest rates would result in an increase in the fair value of this liability of approximately $2.6 million. A 0.125% increase in interest rates would result in a decrease in the fair value of this liability of approximately $2.5 million.


ITEM 4.	CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

We performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. We performed this evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our general partner’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”). Based upon that evaluation, our general partner’s CEO and CFO concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Our disclosure controls and procedures include controls and procedures designed so that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including the CEO and the CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2019 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain matters discussed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q include forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws that discuss our expected future results based on current and pending business operations. Forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as “anticipates,” “believes,” “continue,” “could,” “estimates,” “expects,” “forecasts,” “goal,” “guidance,” “intends,” “may,” “might,” “plans,” “potential,” “projected,” “scheduled,” “should,” “will” and other similar expressions. Although we believe our forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, statements made regarding future results are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to numerous assumptions, uncertainties and risks that are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may be materially different from the results stated or implied in such forward-looking statements included in this report.

The following are among the important factors that could cause future results to differ materially from any expected, projected, forecasted, estimated or budgeted amounts, events or circumstances we have discussed in this report:

•	an increase in the competition our operations encounter;


•	the occurrence of natural disasters, terrorism, sabotage, protests or activism, operational hazards, equipment failures, system failures or unforeseen interruptions;


•	our ability to obtain adequate levels of insurance at a reasonable cost, and the potential for losses to exceed the insurance coverage we do obtain;


•	the treatment of us as a corporation for federal or state income tax purposes or if we become subject to significant forms of other taxation or more aggressive enforcement or increased assessments under existing forms of taxation;


•	our ability to identify expansion projects with acceptable expected returns or to complete identified expansion projects on time and at projected costs;


•	our ability to make and integrate accretive acquisitions and joint ventures and successfully execute our business strategy;


•	uncertainty of estimates, including accruals and costs of environmental remediation;


•	our ability to cooperate with and rely on our joint venture co-owners;

•	our ability to promptly obtain all necessary services, materials, labor, supplies and rights-of-way required for construction of our growth projects, and to complete construction without significant delays, disputes or cost overruns;


•	risks inherent in the use and security of information systems in our business and implementation of new software and hardware;

•

changes in laws and regulations or the interpretations of such laws that govern our butane blending activities, including the potential applicability of the Carmack Amendment, which broadly covers claims for damage or loss incurred to goods transported by a carrier in interstate commerce, to such activities, or changes regarding product quality specifications or renewable fuel obligations that impact our ability to produce gasoline volumes through our butane blending activities or that require significant capital outlays for compliance;


•	changes in laws and regulations to which we or our customers are or could become subject, including tax withholding requirements, safety, security, employment, hydraulic fracturing, derivatives transactions, trade and environmental laws and regulations, including laws and regulations designed to address climate change;


•	the cost and effects of legal and administrative claims and proceedings against us, our subsidiaries or our joint ventures;


•	the amount of our indebtedness, which could make us vulnerable to general adverse economic and industry conditions, limit our ability to borrow additional funds, place us at competitive disadvantages compared to our competitors that have less debt or have other adverse consequences;


•	the effect of changes in accounting policies;


•	the potential that our internal controls may not be adequate, weaknesses may be discovered or remediation of any identified weaknesses may not be successful;


•	the ability and intent of our customers, vendors, lenders, joint venture co-owners or other third parties to perform on their contractual obligations to us;


•	petroleum product supply disruptions;


•	global and domestic repercussions from terrorist activities, including cyber attacks, and the government’s response thereto; and


•	other factors and uncertainties inherent in the transportation, storage and distribution of petroleum products and the operation, acquisition and construction of assets related to such activities.

This list of important factors is not exclusive. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events, changes in assumptions or otherwise.

PART II

OTHER INFORMATION


ITEM 1.	LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Butane Blending Patent Infringement Proceeding. On October 4, 2017, Sunoco Partners Marketing & Terminals L.P. (“Sunoco”) brought an action for patent infringement in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware alleging Magellan Midstream Partners, L.P. (“Magellan”) and Powder Springs Logistics, LLC (“Powder Springs”) have infringed patents relating to butane blending at the Powder Springs facility located in Powder Springs, Georgia. Sunoco has since submitted pleadings alleging that Magellan has also infringed various patents relating to butane blending at nine Magellan facilities, in addition to Powder Springs. Sunoco is seeking an undetermined amount of damages, attorneys’ fees and a permanent injunction enjoining Magellan and Powder Springs from infringing on the subject patents. We deny and are vigorously defending against all claims asserted by Sunoco. Although it is not possible to predict the ultimate outcome, we believe, based on our current understanding of the applicable facts and law, that the ultimate resolution of this matter will not have a material adverse impact on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Hurricane Harvey Enforcement Proceeding. On July 10, 2018, we received a Notice of Enforcement letter from the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality alleging two air emission violations at our Galena Park, Texas terminal that occurred during Hurricane Harvey in third quarter 2017. The penalties associated with these alleged violations could exceed $100,000. While the results cannot be predicted with certainty, we believe the ultimate resolution of this matter will not have a material impact on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Clean Air Act Enforcement Proceeding. In June 2017, we received an enforcement letter from the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”) regarding a referral from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) relating to alleged Clean Air Act violations at our terminals in Mason City, Iowa, Great Bend and Kansas City, Kansas and Omaha, Nebraska. In 2018, the DOJ and EPA notified us of their intent to impose penalties as a result of these alleged violations which could exceed $100,000. We have been in active settlement discussions with the DOJ and EPA to settle these alleged violations on terms that are mutually agreeable. While the results cannot be predicted with certainty, we believe the ultimate resolution of this matter will not have a material impact on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

U.S. Oil Recovery, EPA ID No.: TXN000607093 Superfund Site. We have liability at the U.S. Oil Recovery Superfund Site in Pasadena, Texas as a potential responsible party (“PRP”) under Section 107(a) of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (“CERCLA”). As a result of the EPA’s Administrative Settlement Agreement and Order on Consent for Removal Action, filed August 25, 2011, EPA Region 6, CERCLA Docket No. 06-10-11, we voluntarily entered into the PRP group responsible for the site investigation, stabilization and subsequent site cleanup. We have paid approximately $42,000 associated with the assessment phase. Until this assessment phase has been completed, we cannot reasonably estimate our proportionate share of the remediation costs associated with this site. While the results cannot be reasonably estimated, we believe the ultimate resolution of this matter will not have a material impact on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Lake Calumet Cluster Site, EPA ID No.: ILD000716852 Superfund Site. We have liability at the Lake Calumet Cluster Superfund Site in Chicago, Illinois as a PRP under Sections 107(a) and 113(f)(1) of CERCLA. As a result of the EPA’s Administrative Settlement Agreement and Order for Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study of June 2013, we voluntarily entered into the PRP group responsible for the investigation, cleanup and installation of an appropriate clay cap over the site. We have paid approximately $9,000 associated with the Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study and cleanup costs to date. Our projected portion of the estimated cap installation is $55,000. While the results cannot be predicted with certainty, we believe the ultimate resolution of this matter will not have a material impact on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

We are a party to various other claims, legal actions and complaints arising in the ordinary course of business. While the results cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes the ultimate resolution of these claims, legal actions and complaints after consideration of amounts accrued, insurance coverage or other indemnification arrangements will not have a material adverse effect on our future results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
