GENESIS ENERGY, L.P.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Organization and Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
Organization
We are a growth-oriented master limited partnership formed in Delaware in 1996 and focused on the midstream segment of the crude oil and natural gas industry in the Gulf Coast region of the United States, Wyoming and the Gulf of Mexico. We have a diverse portfolio of assets, including pipelines, offshore hub and junction platforms, soda ash businesses, refinery-related plants, storage tanks and terminals, railcars, rail loading and unloading facilities, barges and other vessels, and trucks. We are owned
100%
by our limited partners. Genesis Energy, LLC, our general partner, is a wholly-owned subsidiary. Our general partner has sole responsibility for conducting our business and managing our operations. We conduct our operations and own our operating assets through our subsidiaries and joint ventures.
On September 1, 2017, we acquired our trona and trona-based exploring, mining, processing, producing, marketing and selling business (our "Alkali Business") for approximately
$1.325 billion
in cash. We funded that acquisition and the related transaction costs with proceeds from a
$750 million
private placement of Class A Convertible Preferred units (our "preferred units"), a
$550 million
public offering of notes, our revolving credit facility, and cash on hand. At the closing, we entered into transition service agreements to facilitate the transition of operations and uninterrupted services for both employees and customers. We report the results of our Alkali Business in our renamed sodium minerals and sulfur services segment, which includes our Alkali Business as well as our legacy refinery services operations.
We currently manage our businesses through four divisions that constitute our reportable segments - offshore pipeline transportation, sodium minerals and sulfur services, onshore facilities and transportation and marine transportation.
These
four
divisions that constitute our reportable segments consist of the following:
•
Offshore pipeline transportation and processing of crude oil and natural gas in the Gulf of Mexico;
•
Sodium minerals and sulfur services involving trona and trona-based exploring, mining, processing, producing, marketing and selling activities, as well as processing of high sulfur (or "sour") gas streams for refineries to remove the sulfur, and selling the related by-product, sodium hydrosulfide (or "NaHS", commonly pronounced "nash");
•
Onshore facilities and transportation, which include terminalling, blending, storing, marketing, and transporting crude oil, petroleum products, and CO
2
; and
•
Marine transportation to provide waterborne transportation of petroleum products and crude oil throughout North America.
Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
The accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include Genesis Energy, L.P. and its subsidiaries, including our general partner, Genesis Energy, LLC.
Our results of operations for the interim periods shown in this report are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the fiscal year. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included herein have been prepared by us without audit pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").

2. Recent Accounting Developments
Recently Issued
We have adopted guidance under ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, and all related ASUs (collectively "ASC 606") as of January 1, 2018 utilizing the modified retrospective method of adoption. The adoption date for

our material equity method investment in the Poseidon Oil Pipeline Company, LLC will follow the non-public business entity adoption date of January 1, 2019 for its stand-alone financial statements. Refer to
Note 3
for further details.
In February 2016, the FASB issued guidance to improve the transparency and comparability among companies by requiring lessees to recognize a lease liability and a corresponding lease asset for virtually all lease contracts. The guidance also requires additional disclosure about leasing arrangements. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and requires a modified retrospective approach to adoption. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11 as a targeted improvement on the new leasing standard, which provides an additional (and optional) method to adopt the new leasing standard. Under this new transition method, an entity will only apply the new lease standard at the date of adoption while comparative periods will be presented under the previous lease guidance (Topic 840). We have identified our implementation team and are currently in the process of identifying our lease population and evaluating this guidance.
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. ASU 2016-15 addresses how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows under Topic 230, Statement of Cash flow, and other Topics. ASU 2016-15 is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim periods therein, beginning after December 15, 2017. We have adopted this guidance as of January 1, 2018 using the retrospective transition method to each period presented on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. We reclassified
$7.6 million
from operating cash flows to investing cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2017.
In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-07, Compensation-Retirement Benefits (Topic 715). ASU 2017-07 requires employers to separate the service cost component from the other components of net benefit cost in the period. The new standard requires the other components of net benefit costs (excluding service costs), be reclassified to "Other expense" from "General and administrative." We adopted this standard as of January 1, 2018. This standard is applied retrospectively. The effect was not material to our financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018.
3. Revenue Recognition
Adoption of ASC 606 and its related Transition effects
The modified retrospective method of adoption required us to apply ASC 606 to all new revenue contracts entered into after January 1, 2018 and revenue contracts that were not completed as of January 1, 2018. Our consolidated revenues for periods prior to January 1, 2018 were not revised and the cumulative effect of our adoption of ASC 606 was recorded as an adjustment to partners' capital at January 1, 2018. Based on this application, the following adjustments were made to our consolidated balance sheet as of January 1, 2018:

Table of Contents
The effects of changes pursuant to ASC 606 in the tables above are attributable to our offshore pipeline transportation services operating segment and our sodium minerals and sulfur services operating segment.
In our offshore pipeline transportation services segment, we have certain contracts with customers that contain tiered pricing structures that are dependent upon reaching certain cumulative milestones of throughput volumes on our pipelines. In addition, we have a contract that contains fixed and variable consideration for us to stand ready and provide reservation capacity for a fixed minimum quantity on our pipeline. Pursuant to the new guidance, we have allocated our estimated total transaction price over the life of the contract to the related performance obligation and recognized the effects in our Consolidated Financial Statements. In our sodium minerals and sulfur services operating segment, specifically our legacy refinery services business, we have two distinct performance obligations, including the completion of our refinery sulfur removal process, for which we receive in-kind consideration, and our sale of NaHS to our customers. Due to this, we have recorded revenue and the related cost of sales in the Consolidated Financial Statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 for services performed for the in-kind consideration for our services. Further discussion of our performance obligations by type and segment are below.

The Company recognizes revenue upon the satisfaction of its performance obligations under its contracts. The timing of revenue recognition varies for the revenue streams described in more detail below. In general, the timing includes recognition of revenue over time as services are being performed as well as recognition of revenue at a point in time, for delivery of products.
Fee-based Revenues
We provide a variety of fee-based transportation and logistics services to our customers across several of our reportable segments as outlined below.
Service contracts generally contain a series of distinct services that are substantially the same and have the same pattern of transfer to the customer over the contract period, and therefore qualify as a single performance obligation that is satisfied over time. The customer receives and consumes the benefit of our services simultaneous with the provision of those services.
Offshore Pipeline Transportation
Revenue from our offshore pipelines is generally based upon a fixed fee per unit of volume (typically per Mcf of natural gas or per barrel of crude oil) gathered, transported, or processed for each volume delivered. Fees are based either on contractual arrangements or tariffs regulated by the FERC. These contracts include a single performance obligation to stand ready, on a
11
Table of Contents
monthly basis, to provide capacity on our assets. Revenue associated with these fee-based services is recognized as volumes are delivered over the performance obligation period.
In addition to the offshore pipeline transportation revenue discussed above, we also have certain contracts with customers in which we earn either demand-type fees or firm capacity reservation fees. These fees are charged to a customer regardless of the volume the customer actually delivers to the platform or through the pipeline.
In addition to these offshore pipeline transportation services revenue streams, we also have certain customer contracts in which the transportation fee has a tiered pricing structure based on cumulative milestones of throughput on the related pipeline asset and contract, or on a specified date. The performance obligation for these contracts is to transport, gather or process commodity volumes for the customer based on firm (stand ready) service or from monthly nominations made by our customers, which can also be on an interruptible basis. While our transportation rate changes when milestones are achieved for certain cumulative throughput, the performance obligation satisfied by us does not change throughout the life of the contract. Therefore revenue is recognized on an average rate basis throughout the life of the contract. We have estimated the total consideration to be received under the contract beginning at the contract inception date based on the estimated volumes (including certain minimum volumes we are required to stand ready for), price indexing, estimated production or contracted volumes, and the contract period. We have constrained the estimates of variable consideration such that it is probable that a significant reversal of previously recognized revenue will not occur throughout the life of the contract. These estimates will be reassessed at each reporting period as required. Billings to our customers are reflected at the contract rate. The difference between the consideration received from our customers from invoicing compared to the revenue recognized creates a contract asset or liability. In circumstances where the estimated average contract rate is less than the billed current price tier in the contract, we will recognize a contract liability. In circumstances where the estimated average contract rate is higher than the billed current price tier in the contract, we will recognize a contract asset.
Onshore Facilities and Transportation
Within our onshore facilities and transportation segment, we provide our customers with pipeline transportation, terminalling services, and rail loading/unloading services, among others, primarily on a per barrel fee basis.
Revenues from contracts for the transportation of crude oil by our pipelines are based on actual volumes at a published tariff and some contain minimum throughput provisions which reset within
one
year. We recognize revenues for transportation and other services over the performance obligation period, which is the contract term. Revenues for both firm and interruptible transportation and other services are recognized when product is delivered to the agreed upon delivery point or at the point of receipt because they specifically relate to our efforts to transfer the distinct services.
Pricing for our services is determined through a variety of mechanisms, including specified contract pricing or regulated tariff pricing. Consideration to be received by us under these contracts is variable, as the total volume of the commodity to be transported is unknown at contract inception. At the end of a day or month (as specified in the contract), both the price and volume are known (or “fixed”) in order to allow us to accurately calculate the amount of consideration we are entitled to invoice. The measurement of these services and invoicing occurs on a monthly basis.
Pipeline Loss Allowances
In order to compensate us for bearing the risk of volumetric losses of crude oil in transit in our pipelines (for our onshore and offshore pipelines) due to temperature, crude quality, and the inherent difficulties of measurement of liquids in a pipeline, our tariffs and agreements include the right for us to make volumetric deductions from the customer for quality and volumetric fluctuations. We refer to these deductions as pipeline loss allowances ("PLA"). We compare these allowances to the actual volumetric gains and losses of the pipeline and the net gain or loss is recorded as revenue or a reduction of revenue. As the allowance is related to our pipeline transportation services, the performance obligation is the obligation to transport and deliver the barrels and is considered a single obligation.
When net gains occur, we have crude oil inventory. When net losses occur, we reduce any recorded inventory on hand and record a liability for the purchase of crude oil required to replace the lost volumes. Under ASC 606, we record excess oil as non-cash consideration at the lower of the recorded value or the market value and include this amount in the transaction price. The crude oil in inventory can then be sold at current prevailing market prices, resulting in additional revenue if the sales price exceeds the inventory value when control transfers to the customer.
Marine Transportation
Our marine transportation business consists of revenues from the inland and offshore marine transportation of heavy refined petroleum products, asphalt and crude oil, using our barges or vessels. This revenue is recognized over the passage of
12
Table of Contents
time of individual trips as determined on an individual contract basis. Revenue from these contracts is typically based on a set day-rate or a set fee per cargo movement. The costs of fuel and certain other operational costs may be directly reimbursed by the customer, if stipulated in the contract.
A performance obligation is driven by providing transportation services using our vessels for a single day either under a term or spot based contract. The transaction price is usually fixed per the contract either as a day rate or as a lump sum to be allocated over days required to complete the service. Revenue is recognizable as the transportation service utilizing our vessels occurs, as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes these services as they are provided. If provided in the contract, certain items such as fuel or operational costs can be rebilled to the customer in the same period in which the costs are incurred. In the event timing of a trip to provide our services crosses a reporting period under a lump sum fee contract, the revenue earned is accrued based on the progress completed in the current period on the related performance obligation as we are entitled to payment for each day. Customer invoicing occurs at the completion of a trip, or earlier at the customer’s request.
Product Sales
Sodium Minerals and Sulfur Services
Product sales in our sodium minerals and sulfur services segment primarily involve the sales of caustic soda, NaHS, soda ash and other alkali products. As it relates to revenue recognition, these sales transactions contain a single performance obligation, which is the delivery of the product to the customer at the agreed upon point of sale. For some transactions, control of product transfers to the customer at the shipping point, but we are obligated to arrange for shipment of the product as directed by the customer. Rather than treat these shipping activities as separate performance obligations, our policy is to account for them as fulfillment costs in accordance with ASC 606.
The transaction price for these product sales are determined by specific contracts, typically at a fixed rate or based on a market or indexed rate. This pricing is known, or is “fixed,” at the time of revenue recognition. Invoicing and related payment terms are in accordance with industry standard or contract specification based on final pricing. The entirety of the transaction price is allocated to the performance obligation which is delivery of the product at the agreed upon point of sale. As this type of revenue is earned at a point in time, there is no allocation of transaction price to future performance obligations.
Onshore Facilities and Transportation
Product sales in our onshore facilities and transportation segment primarily involve the sales of crude oil and petroleum products. These contracts contain a single performance obligation, which is the delivery of the product to the customer at a specified location. These contracts are settled on a monthly basis for term contracts, or on a spot basis. Invoicing and related payment terms are in accordance with industry standard or contract specification based on final pricing.
Pricing is designated within the contracts and is either fixed, index-based or formulaic, utilizing an average price for the month or for a specified range of days, regardless of when delivery occurs. In either case, pricing is known at the time of invoicing. The entirety of the consideration is allocated to a single performance obligation which is delivery of the product to a specified location. As this type of revenue is earned at a point in time, there is no allocation of transaction price to future performance obligations.
Refinery Services
Our refinery services business primarily provides sulfur extraction services to refiners’ high sulfur (or “sour”) gas streams that the refineries have generated from crude oil processing operations. Our process applies our proprietary technology, which uses caustic soda to act as a scrubbing agent under prescribed temperature and pressure to remove sulfur. The technology returns a clean (sulfur-free) hydrocarbon stream to the refinery for further processing into refined products, and simultaneously produces NaHS. Units of NaHS are produced ratably as a gas stream is processed. We obtain control and ownership of the NaHS immediately upon production which constitutes the sole consideration received for our sulfur removal services. We later market this product to third parties as part of our product sales, as described above. As part of some of our arrangements, we pay a refinery access fee (“RSA fee”) for any benefits received by virtue of our plant’s proximity to the customer’s refinery. Our RSA fee is recorded as a reduction of revenue.
Providing sulfur removal services is the singular performance obligation in our refinery service agreements. As our customers simultaneously receive and consume the refinery service benefits, control is transferred and revenue is recognized over time based on the extent of progress towards completion of the performance obligations. We use units of NaHS produced during a period to measure progress as the amount we receive corresponds directly with the efforts to provide our services completed to date. The transaction price for each performance obligation is determined using the fair value of a unit of NaHS on the contract inception date for each refinery services agreement. Accordingly, we record the value of NaHS received as non-cash consideration in inventory until it is subsequently sold to our customers (see Product Sales, above).

During the six months ended June 30, 2018, there were no balances that were previously classified as contract liabilities at the beginning of the period that were recognized as revenues. Accounts receivable-trade, net does not include consideration received in kind from our refinery services process. We did not have any contract modifications during the period that would affect our contract asset and liability balances.
Transaction Price Allocations to Remaining Performance Obligations
We are required to disclose the amount of our transaction prices that are allocated to unsatisfied performance obligations as of June 30, 2018. However, ASC 606 does provide the following practical expedients and exemptions that we utilized:
1)
Performance obligations that are part of a contract with an expected duration of
one
year or less;
2)
Revenue recognized from the satisfaction of performance obligations where we have a right to consideration in an amount that corresponds directly with the value provided to customers; and
3)
Contracts that contain variable consideration, such as index-based pricing or variable volumes, that is allocated entirely to a wholly unsatisfied performance obligation or to a wholly unsatisfied promise to transfer a distinct good or service that is part of a series.
We apply these practical expedients and exemptions to our revenue streams recognized over time. The majority of our contracts qualify for one of these expedients or exemptions. After considering these practical expedients and identifying the remaining contract types that involve revenue recognition over a long-term period and include long-term fixed consideration (adjusted for indexing as required), we determined our allocations of transaction price that relate to unsatisfied performance obligations. As it relates to our tiered pricing offshore transportation contracts, we provide firm capacity for both fixed and variable consideration over a long term period. Therefore, we have allocated the remaining contract value (as estimated and discussed above) to future periods.
Similarly, in our marine transportation segment, our contract related to our M/T American Phoenix contains minimum fixed consideration over the life of the contract, which ends in September 2020. In our onshore facilities and transportation segment, we have certain contractual arrangements in which we receive fixed minimum payments for our obligation to provide minimum capacity on our pipelines and related assets.
The following chart depicts how we expect to recognize revenues for future periods related to these contracts:

4. Acquisition
Acquisition
Alkali Business
On
September 1, 2017
, we acquired our Alkali Business for approximately
$1.325 billion
(inclusive of approximately
$105 million
in working capital). Our Alkali Business produces natural soda ash, also known as sodium carbonate (Na2CO3), a basic building block for a number of ubiquitous products, including flat glass, container glass, dry detergent and a variety of chemicals and other industrial products. To finance that transaction and the related costs, we used proceeds from (i) a
$550.0 million
public offering of
6.50%
senior unsecured notes due 2025 in August 2017, generating net proceeds of
$540.1 million
after issuance discount and underwriting fees, (ii) a
$750 million
private placement of our preferred units in September 2017, generating net proceeds of
$726.2 million
, (iii) borrowings under our revolving credit facility and (iv) cash on hand.
We have reflected the financial results of our Alkali Business in our sodium minerals and sulfur services segment from the date of acquisition. The purchase price has been allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Those fair values were developed by management with the assistance of a third-party valuation firm. Our purchase price allocation remains unchanged from what was disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.
Our Consolidated Financial Statements include the results of our Alkali Business since
September 1, 2017

7. Equity Investees
We account for our ownership in our joint ventures under the equity method of accounting. The price we pay to acquire an ownership interest in a company may exceed or be less than the underlying book value of the capital accounts we acquire. Such excess cost amounts are included within the carrying values of our equity investees. At
June 30, 2018
and
December 31, 2017
, the unamortized excess cost amounts totaled
$374.5 million
and
$382.4 million
, respectively. We amortize the excess cost as a reduction in equity earnings in a manner similar to depreciation.

Poseidon's revolving credit facility
Borrowings under Poseidon’s revolving credit facility, which was amended and restated in February 2015, are primarily used to fund spending on capital projects. The February 2015 credit facility is non-recourse to Poseidon’s owners and secured by substantially all of Poseidon's assets. The February 2015 credit facility contains customary covenants such as restrictions on debt levels, liens, guarantees, mergers, sale of assets and distributions to owners. A breach of any of these covenants could result in acceleration of the maturity date of Poseidon’s debt. Poseidon was in compliance with the terms of its credit agreement for all periods presented in these Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Unamortized debt issuance costs associated with our senior secured credit facility (included in Other Long Term Assets on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet) were
$12.4 million
and
$14.1 million
as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.
As of
June 30, 2018
, we were in compliance with the financial covenants contained in our credit agreement and senior unsecured notes indentures.
Senior Secured Credit Facility
The key terms for rates under our
$1.7 billion
senior secured credit facility, which are dependent on our leverage ratio (as defined in the credit agreement), are as follows:
•
The applicable margin varies from
1.50%
to
3.00%
on Eurodollar borrowings and from
0.50%
to
2.00%
on alternate base rate borrowings.
•
Letter of credit fees range from
1.50%
to
3.00%
•
The commitment fee on the unused committed amount will range from
0.25%
to
0.50%
.
•
The accordion feature is
$300.0 million
, giving us the ability to expand the size of the facility to up to
$2.0 billion
for acquisitions or growth projects, subject to lender consent.
At
June 30, 2018
, we had
$1.3 billion
borrowed under our
$1.7 billion
credit facility, with
$22.4 million
of the borrowed amount designated as a loan under the inventory sublimit. Our credit agreement allows up to
$100.0 million
of the capacity to be used for letters of credit, of which
$1.2 million
was outstanding at
June 30, 2018
. Due to the revolving nature of loans under our credit facility, additional borrowings and periodic repayments and re-borrowings may be made until the maturity date. The total amount available for borrowings under our credit facility at
June 30, 2018
was
$392.5 million
.
Senior Unsecured Note Issuances, Redemption, and Extinguishment
On December 11, 2017, we issued
$450 million
in aggregate principal amount of
6.25%
senior unsecured notes due May 15, 2026 (the "2026 Notes"). Interest payments are due May 15 and November 15 of each year with the initial interest payment due May 15, 2018. Our 2026 Notes mature on May 15, 2026. That issuance generated proceeds of
$441.8 million
, net of issuance costs incurred. We used
$204.8 million
of the net proceeds to redeem the portion of the
5.75%
senior unsecured notes due February 15, 2021 (the "2021 Notes") that were validly tendered and the remaining net proceeds to repay a portion of the borrowings outstanding under our revolving credit facility. On February 15, 2018, we redeemed our remaining 2021 Notes in full at a redemption price of
101.438%
of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest up to, but not including, the redemption date. We incurred a total loss of approximately
$3.3 million
relating to the extinguishment of those notes (including the write-off of the related unamortized debt issuance costs),which is recorded as "Other expense, net" in our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Class A Convertible Preferred Units
On September 1, 2017, we sold
$750 million
of our preferred units in a private placement, comprised of
22,249,494
units for a cash purchase price per unit of
$33.71
(subject to certain adjustments, the “Issue Price”) to
two
initial purchasers. Our general partner executed an amendment to our partnership agreement in connection therewith, which, among other things, authorized and established the rights and preferences of our preferred units. Our preferred units are a new class of security that ranks senior to all of our currently outstanding classes or series of limited partner interests with respect to distribution and/or liquidation rights. Holders of our preferred units vote on an as-converted basis with holders of our common units and have certain class voting rights, including with respect to any amendment to the partnership agreement that would adversely affect the rights, preferences or privileges, or otherwise modify the terms, of those preferred units.
Accounting for the
Class A Convertible Preferred Units
Our preferred units are considered redeemable securities under GAAP due to the existence of redemption provisions upon a deemed liquidation event that is outside our control. Therefore, we present them as temporary equity in the mezzanine section of the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Because our preferred units are not currently redeemable and we do not have plans or expect any events that constitute a change of control in our partnership agreement, we present our preferred units at their initial carrying amount. However, we would be required to adjust that carrying amount if it becomes probable that we would be required to redeem our preferred units.
Initial and Subsequent Measurement
We initially recognized our preferred units at their issuance date fair value, net of issuance costs. We will not be required to adjust the carrying amount of our preferred units until it becomes probable that they would become redeemable. Once redemption becomes probable, we would adjust the carrying amount of our preferred units to the redemption value over a period of time comprising the date the feature first becomes probable and the date the units can first be redeemed.
Preferred unit distributions are recognized on the date in which they are declared. In January 2018, we declared a
$16.5 million
distribution on our preferred units owned as of January 31, 2018. This distribution was paid in kind ("PIK") through the issuance of
490,252
additional preferred units. In April 2018, we declared a
$16.9 million
distribution on our preferred units owned of record as of May 1, 2018. This distribution was PIK through the issuance of
500,976
additional preferred units. The following tables show the change in our mezzanine and preferred units balances from December 31, 2017 to June 30, 2018:

Net income attributable to common unitholders is reduced by preferred unit distributions that accumulated during the period. During 2018, net income attributable to common unitholders was reduced by
$34.1 million
as a result of distributions that accumulated during the period. With respect to our preferred units to be issued relating to the second quarter of 2018, we elected to make a PIK payment for the quarterly distribution, which will result in the issuance of an additional
511,934
preferred units. This PIK amount equates to a distribution of
$0.7374
per preferred unit for the quarter, or
$2.9496
annualized. These distributions will be paid on August 14, 2018 to unitholders holders of record at the close of business July 31, 2018.
11. Net Income Per Common Unit
Basic net income per common unit is computed by dividing net income, after considering income attributable to our preferred unitholders, by the weighted average number of common units outstanding.
The dilutive effect of our preferred units is calculated using the if-converted method. Under the if-converted method, our preferred units are assumed to be converted at the beginning of the period (beginning with their respective issuance date), and the resulting common units are included in the denominator of the diluted net income per common unit calculation for the period being presented. Distributions declared in the period and undeclared distributions that accumulated during the period are added back to the numerator for purposes of the if-converted calculation. For the
three and six
months ended
June 30, 2018
, the effect of the assumed conversion of the
23,402,956
preferred units was anti-dilutive and was not included in the computation of diluted earnings per unit.

12. Business Segment Information
We currently manage our businesses through
four
divisions that constitute our reportable segments:
•
Offshore pipeline transportation – offshore transportation of crude oil and natural gas in the Gulf of Mexico;
•
Sodium minerals and sulfur services – trona and trona-based exploring, mining, processing, producing, marketing and selling activities, as well as processing high sulfur (or “sour”) gas streams for refineries to remove the sulfur, and selling the related by-product, NaHS;
•
Onshore facilities and transportation – terminalling, blending, storing, marketing and transporting crude oil, petroleum products (primarily fuel oil, asphalt, and other heavy refined products) and CO
2
;and
•
Marine transportation – marine transportation to provide waterborne transportation of petroleum products and crude oil throughout North America.
Substantially all of our revenues are derived from, and substantially all of our assets are located in, the United States.
We define Segment Margin as revenues less product costs, operating expenses (excluding non-cash gains and charges, such as depreciation, depletion and amortization), and segment general and administrative expenses, plus our equity in distributable cash generated by our equity investees. In addition, our Segment Margin definition excludes the non-cash effects of our long-term incentive compensation plan and includes the non-income portion of payments received under direct financing leases.
Our chief operating decision maker (our Chief Executive Officer) evaluates segment performance based on a variety of measures including Segment Margin, segment volumes, where relevant, and capital investment.

Poseidon
At
June 30, 2018
and
December 31, 2017
Poseidon Oil Pipeline Company, LLC owed us
$1.9 million
and
$2.2 million
, respectively, for services rendered.
We are the operator of Poseidon and provide management, administrative and pipeline operator services to Poseidon under an Operation and Management Agreement . Currently, that agreement renews automatically annually unless terminated by either party (as defined in the agreement). Our revenues for the
three and six
months ended
June 30, 2018
reflect
$2.2 million
and
$4.3 million
, respectively of fees we earned through the provision of services under that agreement.
ANSAC
We (through a subsidiary of our Alkali Business) are a member of the American Natural Soda Ash Corp. (ANSAC), an organization whose purpose is promoting and increasing the use and sale of natural soda ash and other refined or processed sodium products produced in the U.S. and consumed in specified countries outside of the U.S. Members sell products to ANSAC to satisfy ANSAC’s sales commitments to its customers. ANSAC passes its costs through to its members using a pro rata calculation based on sales. Those costs include sales and marketing, employees, office supplies, professional fees, travel, rent, and certain other costs. Those transactions do not necessarily represent arm's length transactions and may not represent all costs we would otherwise incur if we operated our Alkali Business on a stand-alone basis. We also benefit from favorable shipping rates for our direct exports when using ANSAC to arrange for ocean transport. Net sales to ANSAC were
$93.9 million
and
$184.7 million
, respectively during the
three and six
months ended
June 30, 2018
. The costs charged to us by ANSAC, included in operating costs, were
$1.3 million
and
$3.0 million
, respectively during the
three and six
months ended
June 30, 2018
.
Receivables from and payables to ANSAC as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 are as follows:

15. Derivatives
Commodity Derivatives
We have exposure to commodity price changes related to our inventory and purchase commitments. We utilize derivative instruments (primarily futures and options contracts traded on the NYMEX) to hedge our exposure to commodity prices, primarily of crude oil, fuel oil and petroleum products. Our decision as to whether to designate derivative instruments as fair value hedges for accounting purposes relates to our expectations of the length of time we expect to have the commodity price exposure and our expectations as to whether the derivative contract will qualify as highly effective under accounting guidance in limiting our exposure to commodity price risk. Most of the petroleum products, including fuel oil that we supply, cannot be hedged with a high degree of effectiveness with derivative contracts available on the NYMEX; therefore, we do not designate derivative contracts utilized to limit our price risk related to these products as hedges for accounting purposes. Typically we utilize crude oil and other petroleum products futures and option contracts to limit our exposure to the effect of fluctuations in petroleum products prices on the future sale of our inventory or commitments to purchase petroleum products, and we recognize any changes in fair value of the derivative contracts as increases or decreases in our cost of sales. The recognition of changes in fair value of the derivative contracts not designated as hedges for accounting purposes can occur in reporting periods that do not coincide with the recognition of gain or loss on the actual transaction being hedged. Therefore we will, on occasion, report gains or losses in one period that will be partially offset by gains or losses in a future period when the hedged transaction is completed.
We have designated certain crude oil futures contracts as hedges of crude oil inventory due to our expectation that these contracts will be highly effective in hedging our exposure to fluctuations in crude oil prices during the period that we expect to hold that inventory. We account for these derivative instruments as fair value hedges under the accounting guidance. Changes in the fair value of these derivative instruments designated as fair value hedges are used to offset related changes in the fair value of the hedged crude oil inventory. Any hedge ineffectiveness in these fair value hedges and any amounts excluded from effectiveness testing are recorded as a gain or loss in the Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations.
In accordance with NYMEX requirements, we fund the margin associated with our loss positions on commodity derivative contracts traded on the NYMEX. The amount of the margin is adjusted daily based on the fair value of the commodity contracts. The margin requirements are intended to mitigate a party's exposure to market volatility and the associated contracting party risk. We offset fair value amounts recorded for our NYMEX derivative contracts against margin funding as required by the NYMEX in Current Assets - Other in our Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Additionally, in 2018 we have entered into swap arrangements. Our Alkali Business relies on natural gas to generate heat and electricity for operations. We use a combination of commodity price swap contracts and future purchase contracts to manage our exposure to fluctuations in natural gas prices. The swap contracts fix the basis differential between NYMEX Henry Hub and NW Rocky Mountain posted prices. We do not designate these contracts as hedges for accounting purposes. We recognize any changes in fair value of the derivative contracts as increases or decreases in our cost of sales.
At

Financial Statement Impacts
Unrealized gains are subtracted from net income and unrealized losses are added to net income in determining cash flows from operating activities. To the extent that we have fair value hedges outstanding, the offsetting change recorded in the fair value of inventory is also eliminated from net income in determining cash flows from operating activities. Changes in margin deposits necessary to fund unrealized losses also affect cash flows from operating activities.

Our accounting policy is to offset derivative assets and liabilities executed with the same counterparty when a master netting arrangement exists. Accordingly, we also offset derivative assets and liabilities with amounts associated with cash margin. Our exchange-traded derivatives are transacted through brokerage accounts and are subject to margin requirements as

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
established by the respective exchange. On a daily basis, our account equity (consisting of the sum of our cash balance and the fair value of our open derivatives) is compared to our initial margin requirement resulting in the payment or return of variation margin. As of
June 30, 2018
, we had a net broker receivable of approximately
$1.0 million
(consisting of initial margin of
$1.5 million
decreased by
$0.5 million
of variation margin). As of
December 31, 2017
, we had a net broker receivable of approximately
$1.0 million
(consisting of initial margin of
$1.3 million
decreased by
$0.3 million
of variation margin). At
June 30, 2018
and
December 31, 2017
, none of our outstanding derivatives contained credit-risk related contingent features that would result in a material adverse impact to us upon any change in our credit ratings.
Preferred Distribution Rate Reset Election
A derivative feature embedded in a contract that does not meet the definition of a derivative in its entirety must be bifurcated and accounted for separately if the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative are not clearly and closely related to those of the host contract. For a period of 30 days following (i) September 1, 2022 and (ii) each subsequent anniversary thereof, the holders of our preferred units may make a one-time election to reset the quarterly distribution amount (a "Rate Reset Election") to a cash amount per preferred unit equal to the amount that would be payable per quarter if a preferred unit accrued interest on the Issue Price at an annualized rate equal to three-month LIBOR plus
750 basis points
; provided, however, that such reset rate shall be equal to
10.75%
if (i) such alternative rate is higher than the LIBOR-based rate and (ii) the then market price for our common units is then less than
110%
of the Issue Price. The Rate Reset Election of our preferred units represents an embedded derivative that must be bifurcated from the related host contract and recorded at fair value on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Corresponding changes in fair value are recognized in Other Expense in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. At
June 30, 2018
, the fair value of this embedded derivative was a liability of
$49.4 million
. See
Note 10

16. Fair-Value Measurements
We classify financial assets and liabilities into the following three levels based on the inputs used to measure fair value:
(1)
Level 1 fair values are based on observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities;
(2)
Level 2 fair values are based on pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities and are either directly or indirectly observable as of the measurement date; and
31
Table of Contents
GENESIS ENERGY, L.P.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(3)
Level 3 fair values are based on unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists.
As required by fair value accounting guidance, financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value requires judgment and may affect the placement of assets and liabilities within the fair value hierarchy levels.
The following table sets forth by level within the fair value hierarchy our financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of
June 30, 2018
and
December 31, 2017
.

The following table provides a reconciliation of changes in fair value at the beginning and ending balances for our derivatives classified as level 3:

$
(49,409

Our commodity derivatives include exchange-traded futures and exchange-traded options contracts. The fair value of these exchange-traded derivative contracts is based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets and is, therefore, included in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the swaps contracts was determined using market price quotations and a pricing model. The swap contracts were considered a level 2 input in the fair value hierarchy at
June 30, 2018
.
The fair value of the embedded derivative feature is based on a valuation model that estimates the fair value of our preferred units with and without a Rate Reset Election. This model contains inputs, including our common unit price, a ten year history of the dividend yield, default probabilities and timing estimates which involve management judgment. A significant increase or decrease in the value of these inputs could result in a material change in fair value to this embedded derivative feature. We report unrealized gains and losses associated with this embedded derivative in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations as Other income (expense), net.
See
Note 15
for additional information on our derivative instruments.
Other Fair Value Measurements
We believe the debt outstanding under our credit facility approximates fair value as the stated rate of interest approximates current market rates of interest for similar instruments with comparable maturities. At
June 30, 2018
our senior unsecured notes had a carrying value of
$2.5 billion
and fair value of
$2.4 billion
compared to
$2.6 billion
and
$2.7 billion
, respectively, at
December 31, 2017
. The fair value of the senior unsecured notes is determined based on trade information in the financial markets of our public debt and is considered a Level 2 fair value measurement.

17. Commitments and Contingencies
We are subject to various environmental laws and regulations. Policies and procedures are in place to aid in monitoring compliance and detecting and addressing releases of crude oil from our pipelines or other facilities and from our mining operations relating to our Alkali Business; however, no assurance can be made that such environmental releases may not substantially affect our business.
We are subject to lawsuits in the normal course of business and examination by tax and other regulatory authorities. We do not expect such matters presently pending to have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
In the second quarter of 2017, we recorded a non-cash provision of
$12.6 million
(included within Onshore facilities and transportation operating costs in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations during that period) relating to certain leased railcars no longer in use. As of June 30, 2018, our remaining provision is
$8.2 million
, of which
$3.4 million
is recorded as current and included in accrued liabilities in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet, with the remainder included in other long-term liabilities.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following information should be read in conjunction with our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The following information and such Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should also be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and related notes, together with our discussion and analysis of financial position and results of operations, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2017
.
Included in Management’s Discussion and Analysis are the following sections:
•
Overview
•
Results of Operations
•
Liquidity and Capital Resources
•
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
•
Commitments and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
•
Forward Looking Statements
Overview
On September 1, 2017, we completed the $1.325 billion acquisition of our trona and trona-based exploring, mining, processing, producing, marketing and selling business (our "Alkali Business"). Our Alkali Business is the largest producer in the world of natural soda ash. We funded that acquisition and the related transaction costs with proceeds from a $750 million private placement of our preferred units, a $550 million public offering of notes, our revolving credit facility, and cash on hand. At the closing, we entered into a transition service agreement to facilitate the transition of operations and uninterrupted services for both employees and customers.
The net effect of our quarterly financial performance is slightly lower quarterly, and cumulative, EBITDA than we had expected when we announced our capital reallocation plan last fall. While the coverage of our distribution is strong, the pace of our natural de-levering is slower. We will continue to target and ultimately move to around 4 times or less on our leverage calculation, but it could take a little longer than we had originally reasonably anticipated.
We reported net income attributable to Genesis Energy, L.P. of
$11.0 million
during the three months ended
June 30, 2018
(“
2018
Quarter”) compared to net income attributable to Genesis Energy, L.P. of
$33.7 million
during the three months ended
June 30, 2017
(“2017 Quarter”). The 2018 Quarter included three months of contribution related to our Alkali Business that we acquired in the third quarter of 2017, which contributed to our overall $
39.9 million
increase to segment margin during the 2018 Quarter relative to the 2017 Quarter. In addition, net income was negatively impacted in the 2018 Quarter by approximately $2.8 million principally due to Alkali transition and integration costs; as well as an increase in interest and depreciation expense, primarily driven by our acquisition of our Alkali Business.
Cash flow from operating activities was
$64.5 million
for the 2018 Quarter compared to
$115.3 million
for the 2017 Quarter. The decrease in cash flows from operating activities for the 2018 Quarter was primarily driven by negative working capital effects during the period, primarily due to a decrease in overall accounts payable and accrued liabilities during the 2018 Quarter.
Available Cash before Reserves (as defined below in "Non-GAAP Financial Measures") was
$101.0 million
for the
2018
Quarter, an increase of
$1.7 million
, or
1.8%
, from the
2017
Quarter. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below for additional information on Available Cash before Reserves and Segment Margin.
Segment Margin (as defined below in "Non-GAAP Financial Measures") was
$173.9 million
for the
2018
Quarter, an increase of $
39.9 million
, or
30%
, from the
2017
Quarter. A more detailed discussion of our segment results and other costs is included below in "Results of Operations".
On August 7, 2018, we granted a third party a time-limited option to acquire certain of our non-core assets in exchange for an option payment of $30 million. If that third party timely exercises its option, it will be obligated to purchase those assets for a specified sum less $30 million, subject to customary conditions to closing. There is no guaranty (i) that that third party will exercise its option or (ii) if that third party exercises its option, that the conditions to closing will be satisfied or the closing will otherwise occur.

Distribution
In
July 2018
, we declared our quarterly distribution to our common unitholders of
$0.53
per unit related to the 2018 Quarter.
With respect to our preferred units, we have declared a PIK of the quarterly distribution, which will result in the issuance of an additional approximately 511,934 preferred units. This PIK amount equates to a distribution of $0.7374 per preferred unit for the 2018 Quarter, or $2.9496 annualized. These distributions will be payable in
August 2018
to unitholders holders of record at the close of business on July 31, 2018.
Results of Operations
Revenues and Costs and Expenses
Our revenues for the
2018
Quarter increased
$345.7 million
, or
85%
, from the
2017
Quarter. In addition, our total costs and expenses as presented on the Unaudited Statements of Operations (excluding the gain on sale of assets) increased
$319.5 million
, or
86%
, between those two periods. This increase is primarily attributable to the effects of three months of contribution by our Alkali Business during the 2018 Quarter, along with the increase in crude oil prices during the 2018 Quarter that proportionately impact our revenues and cost of sales. Excluding the effects of our Alkali Business, operating income (excluding the gain on sale of assets) for the 2018 Quarter would have decreased by $3.2 million compared to the 2017 Quarter.
The addition of our Alkali Business resulted in a large increase in revenues and costs relative to the 2017 Quarter (which are reflected in our sodium minerals and sulfur services segment). Those increases are principally derived from mining trona ore and processing the entrained mineral sodium carbonate, also known as naturally occurring soda ash. Natural soda ash has significant cost advantages over synthetically produced soda ash. We believe that significant cost advantage will exist for the foreseeable future. Natural soda ash accounts for only about 25% of the world's production; thus, we believe we should be able to somewhat mitigate the effects of market specific factors (e.g., changes in sales prices for our products, our operating costs, and other economic considerations) on Net Income, Available Cash before Reserves, and Segment Margin in the soda ash market in which we operate.
In addition to our recently acquired Alkali Business, we continue to operate in our other legacy businesses including - (i) our offshore Gulf of Mexico crude oil and natural gas pipeline transportation and handling operations, focusing on integrated and large independent energy companies who make intensive capital investments (often in excess of billions of dollars) to develop numerous large reservoir, long-lived crude oil and natural gas properties; and (ii) our onshore-based refinery-centric operations located primarily in the Gulf Coast region of the U.S., which focus on providing a suite of services primarily to refiners. Refiners are the shippers of approximately 80% of the volumes transported on our onshore crude pipelines, and refiners contract for over 80% of the use of our inland barges, which are used primarily to transport intermediate refined products (not crude oil) between refining complexes. The shippers on our offshore pipelines are mostly integrated and large independent energy companies whose production is ideally suited for the vast majority of refineries along the Gulf Coast, unlike the lighter crude oil and condensates produced from numerous onshore shale plays. Their large-reservoir properties and the related pipelines and other infrastructure needed to develop them are capital intensive and yet, we believe, economically viable, in most cases, even in relatively low commodity price environments. Given these facts, we do not expect changes in commodity prices to impact our Net Income, Available Cash before Reserves or Segment Margin derived from our offshore Gulf of Mexico crude oil and natural gas pipeline transportation and handling operations in the same manner in which they impact our revenues and costs derived from the purchase and sale of crude oil and petroleum products.
A substantial portion of our revenues and costs are derived from the purchase and sale of crude oil and petroleum products through our onshore facilities and transportation segment. The increase in our revenues and costs in this segment between the 2018 Quarter and the 2017 Quarter is primarily attributable to increases in crude oil and petroleum product prices and sales volumes as discussed further below. Nevertheless, generally we do not expect fluctuations in prices for crude oil and natural gas to materially affect our Net Income, Available Cash before Reserves or Segment Margin to the same extent they affect our revenues and costs. We have limited our direct commodity price exposure related to crude oil and petroleum products through the broad use of fee-based service contracts, back-to-back purchase and sale arrangements, and hedges. As a result, changes in the price of crude oil would proportionately impact both our revenues and our costs, with a disproportionately smaller net impact on our Segment Margin. However, due to the indirect exposure to changes in prices discussed above, the factors addressed in our onshore facilities and transportation segment discussion above, and the fact that crude oil prices have remained low for an extended period of time as compared to the five-year period before 2015, we are reasonably hopeful that we have reached a bottom in our crude oil and petroleum product sales volumes.
43
Table of Contents
As discussed throughout this document and throughout our Annual Report on Form 10-K, we have some indirect exposure to certain changes in prices for crude oil and petroleum products, particularly if they are significant and extended. We tend to experience more demand for certain of our services when prices increase significantly over extended periods of time, and we tend to experience less demand for certain of our services when prices decrease significantly over extended periods of time. For additional information regarding certain of our indirect exposure to commodity prices, see our segment-by-segment analysis below and the section of our Annual Report entitled “Risks Related to Our Business.”
Prices of crude oil have increased since the 2017 Quarter. The average closing prices for West Texas Intermediate crude oil on the New York Mercantile Exchange ("NYMEX") increased
40.5%
to
$67.85
per barrel in the
2018
Quarter, as compared to
$48.29
per barrel in the
2017
Quarter. We would expect changes in crude oil prices to continue to proportionately affect our revenues and costs attributable to our purchase and sale of crude oil and petroleum products, producing minimal direct impact on Segment Margin from those operations.
Additionally, changes in certain of our operating costs between the respective quarters, such as those associated with our sodium minerals and sulfur services, offshore pipeline and marine transportation segments, are not correlated with crude oil prices. We discuss certain of those costs in further detail below in our segment-by-segment analysis.

We define Segment Margin as revenues less product costs, operating expenses, and segment general and administrative expenses, after eliminating gain or loss on sale of assets, plus or minus applicable Select Items. Although we do not necessarily consider all of our Select Items to be non-recurring, infrequent or unusual, we believe that an understanding of these Select Items is important to the evaluation of our core operating results. See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" for further discussion surrounding total Segment Margin.

Compared with

June 30, 2017
Offshore pipeline transportation Segment Margin for the
2018
Quarter decreased
$6.6 million
, or
8%
, from the
2017
Quarter, primarily due to lower volumes. The 2018 Quarter was negatively impacted by both temporary downtime and the underperformance of several major fields in the deepwater Gulf of Mexico affecting our CHOPS and Poseidon pipelines and certain associated laterals which we own. Three particular major fields have underperformed our expectations over the last two or three quarters. One field we believe is underperforming as a result of reservoir quality degradation and not due to mechanical factors. Offsetting this in future years are two subsea tie-backs to the same dedicated in-field production facility schedule to come online; one in early 2019 and one later in 2019. Between now and then, however, our segment margin will be around $5 million a quarter less than what we had previously anticipated. The other two large underperforming fields we think are predominately timing related. To maximize reserve recoveries, the operator appears to be producing at a slower rate than communicated to u

s last year. This lower current level, and yet consistent longer-term production, nonetheless has negatively affected our reasonably anticipated segment margin by approximately $5 million a quarter.
In addition, the minimum bill reservation fees we collect on one of our offshore oil pipelines had a prior year step down, and we collected approximately $2.2 million less in segment margin relative to the 2017 Quarter.

Sodium minerals and sulfur services Segment Margin for the
2018
Quarter
increased
$48.2 million
, or
295%
. This increase is primarily due to the inclusion of contributions from our Alkali Business during the 2018 Quarter. The contributions thus far from our Alkali Business have exceeded our expectations and we expect continued strong performance throughout 2018, as we continue to remain the global leader in natural soda ash production. Costs impacting the results of our Alkali Business, many of which are similar in nature to costs related to our sulfur removal business, include costs associated with processing and producing soda ash (and other Alkali products) and marketing and selling activities. In addition, costs include activities associated with mining and extracting trona ore (including energy costs and employee compensation).
Our legacy refinery services results were in line with our expectations for the 2018 Quarter. The 2018 Quarter experienced a 24% increase in NaHS volumes relative to the 2017 Quarter, which is primarily due to an uptick in demand from certain of our international mining customers, primarily located in South America.

Our legacy refinery services results were in line with our expectations for the first six months of 2018. During 2018, we experienced a 16% increase in NaHS volumes relative to the first six months of 2017, which is primarily due to an uptick in international demand with certain of our international mining customers, accompanied by an overall increase in volumes from our domestic pulp and paper customers.
Onshore Facilities and Transportation Segment
Our onshore facilities and transportation segment utilizes an integrated set of pipelines and terminals, as well as trucks, railcars, and barges to facilitate the movement of crude oil and refined products on behalf of producers, refiners and other customers. This segment includes crude oil and refined products pipelines, terminals, rail facilities and CO2 pipelines operating primarily within the United States Gulf Coast and Rocky Mountain crude oil markets. In addition, we utilize our railcar and trucking fleets that support the purchase and sale of gathered and bulk purchased crude oil, as well as purchased and sold refined products. Through these assets we offer our customers a full suite of services, including the following:
•
facilitating the transportation of crude oil from producers to refineries and from owned and third party terminals to refiners via pipelines;
•
transporting CO2 from natural and anthropogenic sources to crude oil fields owned by our customers;
•
shipping crude oil and refined products to and from producers and refiners via trucks, pipelines, and railcars;
•
loading and unloading railcars at our crude-by-rail terminals;
•
storing and blending of crude oil and intermediate and finished refined products;
•
purchasing/selling and/or transporting crude oil from the wellhead to markets for ultimate use in refining; and
•
purchasing products from refiners, transporting those products to one of our terminals and blending those products to a quality that meets the requirements of our customers and selling those products (primarily fuel oil, asphalt and other heavy refined products) to wholesale markets.
We also use our terminal facilities to take advantage of contango market conditions, to gather and market crude oil, and to capitalize on regional opportunities which arise from time to time for both crude oil and petroleum products.
Despite crude oil being considered a somewhat homogeneous commodity, many refiners are very particular about the quality of crude oil feedstock they process. Many U.S. refineries have distinct configurations and product slates that require crude oil with specific characteristics, such as gravity, sulfur content and metals content. The refineries evaluate the costs to obtain, transport and process their preferred feedstocks. That particularity provides us with opportunities to help the refineries in our areas of operation identify crude oil sources and transport crude oil meeting their requirements. The imbalances and inefficiencies relative to meeting the refiners’ requirements may also provide opportunities for us to utilize our purchasing and logistical skills and assets to meet their demands. The pricing in the majority of our crude oil purchase contracts contains a market price component and a deduction to cover the cost of transportation and to provide us with a margin. Contracts
48
Table of Contents
sometimes contain a grade differential which considers the chemical composition of the crude oil and its appeal to different customers. Typically, the pricing in a contract to sell crude oil will consist of the market price components and the grade differentials. The margin on individual transactions is then dependent on our ability to manage our transportation costs and to capitalize on grade differentials.
In our refined products marketing operations, we supply primarily fuel oil, asphalt and other heavy refined products to wholesale markets and some end-users such as paper mills and utilities. We also provide a service to refineries by purchasing “heavier” petroleum products that are the residual fuels from gasoline production, transporting them to one of our terminals and blending them to a quality that meets the requirements of our customers.

Onshore facilities and transportation Segment Margin for the
2018
Quarter increased
$0.4 million
, or
2%
. This increase in the 2018 Quarter is primarily attributable to a full quarter of contribution to segment margin from our re-purposed Texas system, that became operational beginning in May 2017, along with increased volumes on our pipeline and terminal infrastructure in the Baton Rouge corridor relative to the 2017 Quarter. While volumes were down on our Texas system between the three month periods due to integrity work being completed on a downstream pipeline, we were able to recognize three months of our minimum volume commitment earned during the 2018 Quarter in segment margin. This was partially offset by lower demand for our services in our historical back-to-back, or buy/sell, crude oil marketing business associated with aggregating and trucking crude oil from producers' leases to local or regional re-sale points, including the effects of ceasing our operations in South and West Texas.

Marine transportation Segment Margin for the
2018
Quarter
decreased
$2.2 million
, or
15%
, from the

Quarter. This decrease in Segment Margin is primarily attributable to our offshore barge fleet entering into short-term spot price contracts, which can lead to a less favorable rebill structure and higher operating costs, as our last legacy long term contract rolled off during the first quarter of 2018. Additionally, we had an increase in operating costs during the 2018 Quarter relative to the 2017 Quarter due to the increase in our dry-docking costs, which we amortize over the regulatory inspection period (typically five years). We are approaching the five-year period at which we began amortizing such costs, and expect our related expense to stabilize by the end of 2018. We have continued to enter into short term contracts (less than a year) in both the inland and offshore markets because we believe the day rates currently being offered by the market are at, or approaching, cyclical lows. While we are reasonably hopeful that we've reached a bottom for the quarterly segment margin from our entire fleet of assets, we have no expectation of the fundamentals for marine transportation showing any significant improvement through at least the next several years. This excludes the M/T American Phoenix which is under long term contract through September 2020. This was partially offset by higher utilization on our inland barge operation during the 2018 Quarter.

In addition, capitalized interest decreased as a result of certain of our large organic growth projects being completed and placed into service prior to June 30, 2018.
Income tax expense
A portion of our operations are owned by wholly-owned corporate subsidiaries that are taxable as corporations. As a result, a substantial portion of the income tax expense we record relates to the operations of those corporations, and will vary from period to period as a percentage of our income before taxes based on the percentage of our income or loss that is derived from those corporations. The balance of the income tax expense we record relates to state taxes imposed on our operations that are treated as income taxes under generally accepted accounting principles and foreign income taxes.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
General
As of
June 30, 2018
, we had
$392.5 million
of remaining borrowing capacity under our
$1.7 billion
senior secured revolving credit facility. We anticipate that our future internally-generated funds and the funds available under our credit facility will allow us to meet our ordinary course capital needs. Our primary sources of liquidity have been cash flows from operations, borrowing availability under our credit facility and the proceeds from issuances of equity and senior unsecured notes.
Our primary cash requirements consist of:
•
working capital, primarily inventories and trade receivables and payables;
•
routine operating expenses;
•
capital growth and maintenance projects;
•
acquisitions of assets or businesses;
•
payments related to servicing and reducing outstanding debt; and
•
quarterly cash distributions to our unitholders.
As part of our strategic reallocation of capital, we continue to intend to allocate more capital to debt repayments and growth opportunities (and less to current distributions).
Capital Resources
Our ability to satisfy future capital needs will depend on our ability to raise substantial amounts of additional capital from time to time — including through equity and debt offerings (public and private), borrowings under our credit facility and other financing transactions—and to implement our growth strategy successfully. No assurance can be made that we will be able to raise additional capital on satisfactory terms or implement our growth strategy successfully.
At
June 30, 2018
, our long-term debt totaled
$4 billion
, consisting of
$1.3 billion
outstanding under our credit facility (including
$22 million
borrowed under the inventory sublimit tranche) and
$2.5 billion
of senior unsecured notes, comprising
$400 million

amount due
August 1, 2022
, $550 million carrying amount due October 2025, and $450 million carrying amount due May 2026.
On August 7, 2018, we granted a third party a time-limited option to acquire certain of our non-core assets in exchange for an option payment of $30 million. If that third party timely exercises its option, it will be obligated to purchase those assets for a specified sum less $30 million, subject to customary conditions to closing. There is no guaranty (i) that that third party will exercise its option or (ii) if that third party exercises its option, that the conditions to closing will be satisfied or the closing will otherwise occur. We currently expect the third party to exercise its option and close that sale in the third quarter. We currently plan to apply the net proceeds to reduce the balance outstanding under our revolving credit facility.
Equity Distribution Program and Shelf Registration Statements
We expect to issue additional equity and debt securities in the future to assist us in meeting our future liquidity requirements, particularly those related to opportunistically acquiring assets and businesses and constructing new facilities and refinancing outstanding debt.
In 2016, we implemented an equity distribution program that will allow us to consummate “at the market” offerings of common units from time to time through brokered transactions, which should help mitigate certain adverse consequences of underwritten offerings, including the downward pressure on the market price of our common units and the expensive fees and other costs associated with such public offerings. We entered into an equity distribution agreement with a group of banks who will act as sales agents or principals for up to $400.0 million of our common units, if and when we should elect to issue additional common units from time to time, although there are limits to the amount of our “at the market” offerings the market can absorb from time to time. In connection with implementing our equity distribution program, we filed a universal shelf registration statement (our "EDP Shelf") with the SEC. Our EDP Shelf allows us to issue up to $1.0 billion of equity and debt securities, whether pursuant to our equity distribution program or otherwise. Our EDP Shelf will expire in October 2020. As of
June 30, 2018
, we had issued no units under this program.
We have another universal shelf registration statement (our "2018 Shelf") on file with the SEC. Our 2018 Shelf allows us to issue an unlimited amount of equity and debt securities in connection with certain types of public offerings. However, the receptiveness of the capital markets to an offering of equity and/or debt securities cannot be assured and may be negatively impacted by, among other things, our long-term business prospects and other factors beyond our control, including market conditions. Our 2018 Shelf will expire in April 2021. We expect to file a replacement universal shelf registration statement before our 2018 Shelf expires.
Cash Flows from Operations
We generally utilize the cash flows we generate from our operations to fund our distributions and working capital needs. Excess funds that are generated are used to repay borrowings under our credit facility and/or to fund a portion of our capital expenditures. Our operating cash flows can be impacted by changes in items of working capital, primarily variances in the carrying amount of inventory and the timing of payment of accounts payable and accrued liabilities related to capital expenditures.
In our back-to-back crude oil onshore facilities and transportation activities, we typically sell our purchased crude oil in the same month in which we acquire it, so we do not need to rely on borrowings under our credit facility to pay for such crude oil purchases, other than inventory. During such periods, our accounts receivable and accounts payable generally move in tandem, as we make payments and receive payments for the purchase and sale of crude oil.
In our petroleum products onshore facilities and transportation activities, we purchase products and typically either move those products to one of our storage facilities for further blending or sell those products within days of our purchase. The cash requirements for these activities can result in short term increases and decreases in our borrowings under our credit facility.
The storage of our inventory of crude oil and petroleum products can have a material impact on our cash flows from operating activities. In the month we pay for the stored crude oil or petroleum products, we borrow under our credit facility (or use cash on hand) to pay for the crude oil or petroleum products, utilizing a portion of our operating cash flows. Conversely, cash flow from operating activities increases during the period in which we collect the cash from the sale of the stored crude oil or petroleum products. Additionally, we may be required to deposit margin funds with the NYMEX when commodity prices increase as the value of the derivatives utilized to hedge the price risk in our inventory fluctuates. These deposits also impact our operating cash flows as we borrow under our credit facility or use cash on hand to fund the deposits.

were
$150.8 million
compared to
$176.3 million
for the

Capital Expenditures, Distributions and Certain Cash Requirements
We use cash primarily for our operating expenses, working capital needs, debt service, acquisition activities, organic growth projects, maintenance capital expenditures and distributions we pay to our unitholders. We finance maintenance capital expenditures and smaller organic growth projects and distributions primarily with cash generated by our operations. We have historically funded material growth capital projects (including acquisitions and organic growth projects) with borrowings under our credit facility, equity issuances and/or issuances of senior unsecured notes. We currently plan to allocate a substantial portion of our excess cash flow to reduce the balance outstanding under our revolving credit facility.

Expenditures for capital assets to grow the partnership distribution will depend on our access to debt and equity capital. We will look for opportunities to acquire assets from other parties that meet our criteria for stable cash flows. We continue to pursue a long-term growth strategy that may require significant capital.
Growth Capital Expenditures
We anticipate spending approximately
$20.0 million
, inclusive of capitalized interest, primarily related to the completion of our Wyoming infrastructure during the remainder of
2018
.
Maintenance Capital Expenditures
Our increase in maintenance capital expenditures for the
2018
Quarter as compared to the
2017
Quarter principally relates to our Alkali Business. See further discussion under "Available Cash before Reserves" for how such maintenance capital utilization is reflected in our calculation of Available Cash before Reserves.
Distributions to Unitholders
On
August 14, 2018
, we will pay a distribution of
$0.53
per common unit totaling
$65 million
with respect to the
2018
Quarter. Information on our recent distribution history is included in
Note 10
to our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
With respect to our preferred units, we have declared a PIK of the quarterly distribution, which will result in the issuance of an additional approximately 511,934 preferred units. This PIK amount equates to a distribution of $0.7374 per
55

For a description of the term "maintenance capital utilized," please see the definition of the term "Available Cash Before Reserves" discussed below. Maintenance capital expenditures in the 2018 Quarter and 2017 Quarter were $22.2 million and $6.8 million, respectively. This increase principally is a result of expenditures associated with our Alkali Business.
We define Available Cash before Reserves (“Available Cash before Reserves”) as net income before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (including impairment, write-offs, accretion and similar items) after eliminating other non-cash revenues, expenses, gains, losses and charges (including any loss on asset dispositions), plus or minus certain other select items that we view as not indicative of our core operating results (collectively, “Select Items”), as adjusted for certain items, the most significant of which in the relevant reporting periods have been the sum of maintenance capital utilized, net interest expense and cash tax expense. Although, we do not necessarily consider all of our Select Items to be non-recurring, infrequent or unusual, we believe that an understanding of these Select Items is important to the evaluation of our core operating results. The most significant Select Items in the relevant reporting periods are set forth below.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
General
To help evaluate our business, we use the non-generally accepted accounting principle (“non-GAAP”) financial measure of Available Cash before Reserves. We also present total Segment Margin as if it were a non-GAAP measure. Our Non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies because such measures may include or exclude other specified items. The schedules above provide reconciliations of Available Cash before Reserves to its most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (GAAP). A reconciliation of total Segment Margin to net income is also included in our segment disclosure in
Note 12
to our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Our non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered (i) as alternatives to GAAP measures of liquidity or financial performance or (ii) as being singularly important in any particular context; they should be considered in a broad context with other quantitative and qualitative information. Our Available Cash before Reserves and total Segment Margin measures are just two of the relevant data points considered from time to time.
When evaluating our performance and making decisions regarding our future direction and actions (including making discretionary payments, such as quarterly distributions) our board of directors and management team has access to a wide range of historical and forecasted qualitative and quantitative information, such as our financial statements; operational information; various non-GAAP measures; internal forecasts; credit metrics; analyst opinions; performance, liquidity and similar measures; income; cash flow; and expectations for us, and certain information regarding some of our peers. Additionally, our board of directors and management team analyze, and place different weight on, various factors from time to time. We believe that investors benefit from having access to the same financial measures being utilized by management, lenders, analysts and other market participants. We attempt to provide adequate information to allow each individual investor and other external user to reach her/his own conclusions regarding our actions without providing so much information as to overwhelm or confuse such investor or other external user.
In the fourth quarter of 2017, we revised portions of the format and definitions relating to our presentation of non-GAAP financial measures. Amounts attributable to prior periods have been recast.

Segment Margin
Our chief operating decision maker (our Chief Executive Officer) evaluates segment performance based on a variety of measures including Segment Margin, segment volumes where relevant and capital investment. We define Segment Margin as revenues less product costs, operating expenses, and segment general and administrative expenses, after eliminating gain or loss on sale of assets, plus or minus applicable Select Items. Although, we do not necessarily consider all of our Select Items to be non-recurring, infrequent or unusual, we believe that an understanding of these Select Items is important to the evaluation of our core operating results.
A reconciliation of total Segment Margin to net income is included in our segment disclosure in
Note 12
to our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, as well as previously in this Item 2.
Available Cash before Reserves
Purposes, Uses and Definition
Available Cash before Reserves, often referred to by others as distributable cash flow, is a quantitative standard used throughout the investment community with respect to publicly traded partnerships and is commonly used as a supplemental financial measure by management and by external users of financial statements such as investors, commercial banks, research analysts and rating agencies, to aid in assessing, among other things:
(1)
the financial performance of our assets;
(2)
our operating performance;
(3)
the viability of potential projects, including our cash and overall return on alternative capital investments as compared to those of other companies in the midstream energy industry;
(4)
the ability of our assets to generate cash sufficient to satisfy certain non-discretionary cash requirements, including interest payments and certain maintenance capital requirements; and
(5)
our ability to make certain discretionary payments, such as distributions on our units, growth capital expenditures, certain maintenance capital expenditures and early payments of indebtedness.
Disclosure Format Relating to Maintenance Capital
We use a modified format relating to maintenance capital requirements because our maintenance capital expenditures vary materially in nature (discretionary vs. non-discretionary), timing and amount from time to time. We believe that, without such modified disclosure, such changes in our maintenance capital expenditures could be confusing and potentially misleading to users of our financial information, particularly in the context of the nature and purposes of our Available Cash before Reserves measure. Our modified disclosure format provides those users with information in the form of our maintenance capital utilized measure (which we deduct to arrive at Available Cash before Reserves). Our maintenance capital utilized measure constitutes a proxy for non-discretionary maintenance capital expenditures and it takes into consideration the relationship among maintenance capital expenditures, operating expenses and depreciation from period to period.
Maintenance Capital Requirements
Maintenance Capital Expenditures
Maintenance capital expenditures are capitalized costs that are necessary to maintain the service capability of our existing assets, including the replacement of any system component or equipment which is worn out or obsolete. Maintenance capital expenditures can be discretionary or non-discretionary, depending on the facts and circumstances.
Initially, substantially all of our maintenance capital expenditures were (a) related to our pipeline assets and similar infrastructure, (b) non-discretionary in nature and (c) immaterial in amount as compared to our Available Cash before Reserves measure. Those historical expenditures were non-discretionary (or mandatory) in nature because we had very little (if any) discretion as to whether or when we incurred them. We had to incur them in order to continue to operate the related pipelines in a safe and reliable manner and consistently with past practices. If we had not made those expenditures, we would not have been able to continue to operate all or portions of those pipelines, which would not have been economically feasible. An example of a non-discretionary (or mandatory) maintenance capital expenditure would be replacing a segment of an old pipeline because one can no longer operate that pipeline safely, legally and/or economically in the absence of such replacement.
As we exist today, a substantial amount of our maintenance capital expenditures from time to time will be (a) related to our assets other than pipelines, such as our marine vessels, trucks and similar assets, (b) discretionary in nature and (c) potentially material in amount as compared to our Available Cash before Reserves measure. Those expenditures will be discretionary (or non-mandatory) in nature because we will have significant discretion as to whether or when we incur them. We will not be forced to incur them in order to continue to operate the related assets in a safe and reliable manner. If we chose
58
Table of Contents
not make those expenditures, we would be able to continue to operate those assets economically, although in lieu of maintenance capital expenditures, we would incur increased operating expenses, including maintenance expenses. An example of a discretionary (or non-mandatory) maintenance capital expenditure would be replacing an older marine vessel with a new marine vessel with substantially similar specifications, even though one could continue to economically operate the older vessel in spite of its increasing maintenance and other operating expenses.
In summary, as we continue to expand certain non-pipeline portions of our business, we are experiencing changes in the nature (discretionary vs. non-discretionary), timing and amount of our maintenance capital expenditures that merit a more detailed review and analysis than was required historically. Management’s recently increasing ability to determine if and when to incur certain maintenance capital expenditures is relevant to the manner in which we analyze aspects of our business relating to discretionary and non-discretionary expenditures. We believe it would be inappropriate to derive our Available Cash before Reserves measure by deducting discretionary maintenance capital expenditures, which we believe are similar in nature in this context to certain other discretionary expenditures, such as growth capital expenditures, distributions/dividends and equity buybacks. Unfortunately, not all maintenance capital expenditures are clearly discretionary or non-discretionary in nature. Therefore, we developed a measure, maintenance capital utilized, that we believe is more useful in the determination of Available Cash before Reserves. Our maintenance capital utilized measure, which is described in more detail below, constitutes a proxy for non-discretionary maintenance capital expenditures and it takes into consideration the relationship among maintenance capital expenditures, operating expenses and depreciation from period to period.
Maintenance Capital Utilized
We believe our maintenance capital utilized measure is the most useful quarterly maintenance capital requirements measure to use to derive our Available Cash before Reserves measure. We define our maintenance capital utilized measure as that portion of the amount of previously incurred maintenance capital expenditures that we utilize during the relevant quarter, which would be equal to the sum of the maintenance capital expenditures we have incurred for each project/component in prior quarters allocated ratably over the useful lives of those projects/components.
Because we did not initially use our maintenance capital utilized measure, our future maintenance capital utilized calculations will reflect the utilization of solely those maintenance capital expenditures incurred since December 31, 2013.

Forward Looking Statements
The statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that are not historical information may be “forward looking statements” as defined under federal law. All statements, other than historical facts, included in this document that address activities, events or developments that we expect or anticipate will or may occur in the future, including things such as plans for growth of the business, future capital expenditures, competitive strengths, goals, references to future goals or intentions, estimated or projected future financial performance, and other such references are forward-looking statements, and historical performance is not necessarily indicative of future performance. These forward-looking statements are identified as any statement that does not relate strictly to historical or current facts. They use words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “estimate,” “expect,” “forecast,” “goal,” “intend,” “may,” “could,” “plan,” “position,” “projection,” “strategy,” “should” or “will,” or the negative of those terms or other variations of them or by comparable terminology. In particular, statements, expressed or implied, concerning future actions, conditions or events or future operating results or the ability to generate sales, income or cash flow are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of performance. They involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Future actions, conditions or events and future results of operations may differ materially from those expressed in these forward-looking statements. Many of the factors that will determine these results are beyond our ability or the ability of our affiliates to control or predict. Specific factors that could cause actual results to differ from those in the forward-looking statements include, among others:
•
demand for, the supply of, our assumptions about, changes in forecast data for, and price trends related to crude oil, liquid petroleum, natural gas, NaHS, soda ash, caustic soda and CO

•
our inability to borrow or otherwise access funds needed for operations, expansions or capital expenditures as a result of our credit agreement and the indentures governing our notes, which contain various affirmative and negative covenants;
•
loss of key personnel;
•
cash from operations that we generate could decrease or fail to meet expectations, either of which could reduce our ability to pay quarterly cash distributions at the current level or to increase quarterly cash distributions in the future;
•
an increase in the competition that our operations encounter;
•
cost and availability of insurance;
•
hazards and operating risks that may not be covered fully by insurance;
•
our financial and commodity hedging arrangements, which may reduce our earnings, profitability and cash flow;
•
changes in global economic conditions, including capital and credit markets conditions, inflation and interest rates;
•
natural disasters, accidents or terrorism;
•
changes in the financial condition of customers or counterparties;
•
adverse rulings, judgments, or settlements in litigation or other legal or tax matters;
•
the treatment of us as a corporation for federal income tax purposes or if we become subject to entity-level taxation for state tax purposes; and
•
the potential that our internal controls may not be adequate, weaknesses may be discovered or remediation of any identified weaknesses may not be successful and the impact these could have on our unit price.
You should not put undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. When considering forward-looking statements, please review the risk factors described under “Risk Factors” discussed in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
