Although we and our general partner believe such forward-looking statements are reasonable, neither we nor our general partner can assure they will prove to be correct. Forward-looking statements are subject to a variety of risks, uncertainties and assumptions. If one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or if underlying assumptions prove incorrect, our actual results may vary materially from those expected. Among the key risk factors that may affect our consolidated financial position and results of operations are:

the ability to obtain adequate supplies of products if an interruption in supply or transportation occurs and the availability of capacity to transport products to market areas;

•
the political and economic stability of foreign oil and gas producing nations;
•
the effect of weather conditions on supply and demand for crude oil, natural gas liquids, gasoline, diesel, ethanol, and biodiesel;

energy efficiencies and technological trends;

You should not put undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report. Except as may be required by state and federal securities laws, we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.

—Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include our accounts and those of our controlled subsidiaries. Intercompany transactions and account balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Investments we cannot control, but can exercise significant influence over, are accounted for using the equity method of accounting.
We also own an undivided interest in a crude oil pipeline, and include our proportionate share of assets, liabilities, and expenses related to this pipeline in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim consolidated financial information in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements exclude certain information and notes required by GAAP for complete annual consolidated financial statements. However, we believe that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments that we consider necessary for a fair presentation of our consolidated financial position and results of operations for the interim periods presented. Such adjustments consist only of normal recurring items, unless otherwise disclosed in this Quarterly Report. The unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet at
March 31, 2017
was derived from our audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal
year ended March 31, 2017
included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K (“Annual Report”) filed with the SEC on May 26, 2017.
These interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report. Due to the seasonal nature of certain of our operations and other factors, the results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for future periods or for the full fiscal year ending
March 31, 2018
.

NGL ENERGY PARTNERS LP AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amount of assets and liabilities reported at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the amount of revenues and expenses reported during the periods presented.
Critical estimates we make in the preparation of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include, among others, determining the fair value of assets and liabilities acquired in business combinations, the collectibility of accounts receivable, the recoverability of inventories, useful lives and recoverability of property, plant and equipment and amortizable intangible assets, the impairment of assets, the fair value of asset retirement obligations, the value of equity-based compensation, and accruals for environmental matters. Although we believe these estimates are reasonable, actual results could differ from those estimates.
Significant Accounting Policies
Our significant accounting policies are consistent with those disclosed in Note 2 of our audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report.
Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value is based upon assumptions that market participants would use when pricing an asset or liability. We use the following fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes valuation technique inputs used to measure fair value into three broad levels:
•
Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that we have the ability to access at the measurement date.
•
Level 2: Inputs (other than quoted prices included within Level 1) that are either directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability, including (i) quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, (ii) quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, (iii) inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, and (iv) inputs that are derived from observable market data by correlation or other means. Instruments categorized in Level 2 include non-exchange traded derivatives such as over-the-counter commodity price swap and option contracts and forward commodity contracts. We determine the fair value of all of our derivative financial instruments utilizing pricing models for similar instruments. Inputs to the pricing models include publicly available prices and forward curves generated from a compilation of data gathered from third parties.
•
Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability including situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability.
The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). In some cases, the inputs used to measure fair value might fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. The lowest level input that is significant to a fair value measurement determines the applicable level in the fair value hierarchy. Assessing the significance of a particular input to a fair value measurement requires judgment, considering factors specific to the asset or liability.
Derivative Financial Instruments
We record all derivative financial instrument contracts at fair value in our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets except for certain contracts that qualify for the
normal purchase and normal sale election
.
Under this accounting policy election, we do not record the contracts at fair value at each balance sheet date; instead, we record the purchase or sale at the contracted value once the delivery occurs.
We have not designated any financial instruments as hedges for accounting purposes. All changes in the fair value of our commodity derivative instruments that do not qualify as normal purchases and normal sales (whether cash transactions or
9
NGL ENERGY PARTNERS LP AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
non-cash mark-to-market adjustments) are reported within cost of sales in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations, regardless of whether the contract is physically or financially settled.
We utilize various commodity derivative financial instrument contracts to attempt to reduce our exposure to price fluctuations. We do not enter into such contracts for trading purposes. Changes in assets and liabilities from commodity derivative financial instruments result primarily from changes in market prices, newly originated transactions, and the timing of settlements. We attempt to balance our contractual portfolio in terms of notional amounts and timing of performance and delivery obligations. However, net unbalanced positions can exist or are established based on our assessment of anticipated market movements. Inherent in the resulting contractual portfolio are certain business risks, including commodity price risk and credit risk.
Commodity price risk is the risk that the market value of crude oil, natural gas liquids, or refined and renewables products will change, either favorably or unfavorably, in response to changing market conditions.
Credit risk is the risk of loss from nonperformance by suppliers, customers or financial counterparties to a contract.
Procedures and limits for managing commodity price risks and credit risks are specified in our market risk policy and credit risk policy, respectively.
Open commodity positions and market price changes are monitored daily and are reported to senior management and to marketing operations personnel.
Credit risk is monitored daily and exposure is minimized through customer deposits, restrictions on product liftings, letters of credit, and entering into master netting agreements that allow for offsetting counterparty receivable and payable balances for certain transactions.
Revenue Recognition
We record product sales revenues when title to the product transfers to the purchaser, which typically occurs when the purchaser receives the product. We record terminaling, transportation, storage, and service revenues when the service is performed, and we record tank and other rental revenues over the lease term. Revenues for our Water Solutions segment are recognized when we obtain the wastewater at our treatment and disposal facilities.
The tariffs we charge for our pipeline transportation systems are primarily regulated by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. Our tariffs include provisions which allow us to deduct from our customer’s inventory a small percentage of the products our customers transport on our pipeline systems. We refer to these product quantities as pipeline loss allowance. We receive pipeline loss allowances from our customers as consideration for product losses during the transportation of their products on our pipeline systems. Our customers are guaranteed delivery of the amount of their injected volumes, net of pipeline loss allowance, irrespective of what our actual product losses may be during the delivery process.
We report taxes collected from customers and remitted to taxing authorities, such as sales and use taxes, on a net basis. We include amounts billed to customers for shipping and handling costs in revenues in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. We enter into certain contracts whereby we agree to purchase product from a counterparty and sell the same volume of product to the same counterparty at a different location or time. When such agreements are entered into at the same time and in contemplation of each other, we record the revenues for these transactions net of cost of sales.
Revenues during the
three months ended
June 30, 2017
and
2016
include
$0.3 million
and
$1.2 million
, respectively, associated with the amortization of a liability recorded in the acquisition accounting for an acquired business related to certain out-of-market revenue contracts.
Income Taxes
We qualify as a partnership for income tax purposes. As such, we generally do not pay United States federal income tax. Rather, each owner reports his or her share of our income or loss on his or her individual tax return. The aggregate difference in the basis of our net assets for financial and tax reporting purposes cannot be readily determined, as we do not have access to information regarding each partner’s basis in the Partnership.
We have certain taxable corporate subsidiaries in the United States and in Canada, and our operations in Texas are subject to a state franchise tax that is calculated based on revenues net of cost of sales.
We evaluate uncertain tax positions for recognition and measurement in the consolidated financial statements. To recognize a tax position, we determine whether it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation, based on the technical merits of the position. A tax position that meets the more likely than not threshold is measured to determine the amount of benefit to be recognized in the
10
NGL ENERGY PARTNERS LP AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
consolidated financial statements. We had no material uncertain tax positions that required recognition in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements at
June 30, 2017
or
March 31, 2017
.
Inventories
We value our inventories at the lower of cost or market, with cost determined using either the weighted-average cost or the first in, first out (FIFO) methods, including the cost of transportation and storage. Market is determined based on estimated replacement cost using prices at the end of the reporting period. On April 1, 2017, we adopted the new inventory standard, Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2015-11. Under this ASU, inventory is to be measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value, which is defined as the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonable predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. In performing this analysis, we consider fixed-price forward commitments and the opportunity to transfer propane inventory from our wholesale Liquids business to our Retail Propane business to sell the inventory in retail markets.

Investments in Unconsolidated Entities
Investments we cannot control, but can exercise significant influence over, are accounted for using the equity method of accounting.
Investments in partnerships and limited liability companies, unless our investment is considered to be minor, and investments in unincorporated joint ventures are also accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method, we do not report the individual assets and liabilities of these entities on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets; instead, our ownership interests are reported within investments in unconsolidated entities on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. Under the equity method, the investment is recorded at acquisition cost, increased by our proportionate share of any earnings and additional capital contributions and decreased by our proportionate share of any losses, distributions paid, and amortization of any excess investment. Excess investment is the amount by which our total investment exceeds our proportionate share of the historical net book value of the net assets of the investee. We use the cumulative earnings approach to classify distributions received from unconsolidated entities as either operating activities or investing activities in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

Deferred Gain on Sale of General Partner Interest in TLP
On February 1, 2016, we sold our general partner interest in TransMontaigne Partners L.P. (“TLP”) to an affiliate of ArcLight Capital Partners. We deferred a portion of the gain on the sale and will recognize this amount over our future lease payment obligations, which is approximately
seven years
. During the
three months ended
June 30, 2017
and
2016
, we recognized
$7.5 million
and
$7.5 million
, respectively, of the deferred gain in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. Within our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet, the current portion of the deferred gain,
$30.1 million
, is recorded in accrued expenses and other payables and the long-term portion,
$131.8 million
, is recorded in other noncurrent liabilities.
Noncontrolling Interests
Noncontrolling interests represent the portion of certain consolidated subsidiaries that are owned by third parties.
Amounts are adjusted by the noncontrolling interest holder’s proportionate share of the subsidiaries’ earnings or losses each period and any distributions that are paid. Noncontrolling interests are reported as a component of equity, unless the noncontrolling interest is considered redeemable, in which case the noncontrolling interest is recorded between liabilities and equity (mezzanine or temporary equity) in our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. The redeemable noncontrolling interest is adjusted at the balance sheet date to its maximum redemption value if the amount is greater than the carrying value. During the
three months ended
June 30, 2017
, we recorded
$0.6 million
to adjust the redeemable noncontrolling interest to its maximum redemption value.
Business Combination Measurement Period
We record the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination at their acquisition date fair values. Pursuant to GAAP, an entity is allowed a reasonable period of time (not to exceed one year) to obtain the information necessary to identify and measure the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. As discussed in
Note 4
, certain of our acquisitions are still within this measurement period, and as a result, the acquisition date fair values we have recorded for the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are subject to change.
Reclassifications
We have reclassified certain prior period financial statement information to be consistent with the classification methods used in the current fiscal year. These reclassifications did not impact previously reported amounts of equity, net income, or cash flows. Also, certain line items in our unaudited condensed consolidated statement of cash flows were combined and the prior period amounts were combined to be consistent with the classification methods used in the current fiscal year.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows-Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments.” The ASU requires cash payments not made soon after the
13
NGL ENERGY PARTNERS LP AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
acquisition date of a business combination by an acquirer to settle a contingent consideration liability to be separated and classified as cash outflows for financing activities and operating activities. Cash payments up to the amount of the contingent consideration liability recognized at the acquisition date (including measurement-period adjustments) should be classified as financing activities and any excess should be classified as operating activities. We adopted this ASU effective April 1, 2017 and have revised previously reported information.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses.” The ASU requires a financial asset (or a group of financial assets) measured at amortized cost to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected, which would include accounts receivable. The measurement of expected credit losses is based on relevant information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectibility of the reported amount. The ASU is effective for the Partnership beginning April 1, 2020, and requires a modified retrospective method of adoption, although early adoption is permitted. We are currently in the process of assessing the impact of this ASU on our consolidated financial statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases.” The ASU will replace previous lease accounting guidance in GAAP. The ASU requires the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases. The ASU retains a distinction between finance leases and operating leases. The ASU is effective for the Partnership beginning April 1, 2019, and requires a modified retrospective method of adoption. We are currently in the process of compiling a database of leases and analyzing each lease to assess the impact under this ASU on our consolidated financial statements.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” The ASU will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in GAAP. The core principle of this ASU is that an entity should recognize revenue for the transfer of goods or services equal to the amount that it expects to be entitled to receive for those goods or services. The ASU is effective for the Partnership beginning April 1, 2018, and allows for both full retrospective and modified retrospective methods of adoption.
We are in the process of evaluating our revenue contracts by segment and type to determine the potential impact of adopting this ASU. At this point in our evaluation process, we have determined that the timing and/or amount of revenue that we recognize on certain contracts may be impacted by the adoption of this ASU; however, we are still in the process of quantifying these impacts and have not yet determined whether they would be material to our consolidated financial statements. In addition, we are in the process of implementing appropriate changes to our business processes, systems and controls to support recognition and disclosure under this ASU. We continue to monitor additional authoritative or interpretive guidance related to this ASU as it becomes available, as well as comparing our conclusions on specific interpretative issues to other peers in our industry, to the extent that such information is available to us. We currently anticipate utilizing a modified retrospective adoption as of April 1, 2018.

Note 4
—Acquisitions
The following summarizes our acquisitions during the
three months ended
June 30, 2017
:
Acquisition of Remaining Interest in NGL Solids Solutions, LLC
On April 17, 2017, we entered into a purchase and sale agreement with the party owning the
50%
noncontrolling interest in NGL Solids Solutions, LLC, a consolidated subsidiary, in our Water Solutions segment. Total consideration was
$23.1 million
, which consisted of cash of
$20.0 million
and the termination of a non-compete agreement that we valued at
$3.1 million
and in return we received the following:
•
The remaining
50%
interest in NGL Solids Solutions, LLC; and
•
Two
parcels of land to develop saltwater disposal wells.
We accounted for the transaction as an acquisition of assets. Acquiring assets in groups requires not only ascertaining the cost of the asset (or net asset) group but also allocating that cost to the individual assets (or individual assets and liabilities) that make up the group. The cost of a group of assets acquired in an asset acquisition is allocated to the individual assets acquired or liabilities assumed/released based on their relative fair values and does not give rise to goodwill or bargain purchase gains. We allocated
$22.9 million
to noncontrolling interest and
$0.2 million
to land. The acquisition of the remaining interest was accounted for as an equity transaction, no gain or loss was recorded and the carrying value of the noncontrolling interest was adjusted to reflect the change in ownership interest of the subsidiary. As of the date of the transaction, the
50%
noncontrolling interest had a carrying value of
$16.6 million
. For the termination of the non-compete agreement, we recorded a gain of
$1.3 million
, which included the carrying value of the non-compete agreement intangible asset that was written off (see
Note 7

Credit Agreement
We are party to a
$1.765 billion
credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with a syndicate of banks. As of
June 30, 2017
, the Credit Agreement includes a revolving credit facility to fund working capital needs, which had a capacity of
$1.0 billion
for cash borrowings and letters of credit, (the “Working Capital Facility”) and a revolving credit facility to fund acquisitions and expansion projects, which had a capacity of
$765.0 million
(the “Expansion Capital Facility,” and together with the Working Capital Facility, the “Revolving Credit Facility”). We had letters of credit of
$71.7 million
on the Working Capital Facility at
June 30, 2017
.
At
June 30, 2017
, the borrowings under the Credit Agreement had a weighted average interest rate of
3.99%
, calculated as the weighted average LIBOR rate of
1.19%
plus a margin of
2.75%
for LIBOR borrowings and the prime rate of
4.25%
plus a margin of
1.75%
on alternate base rate borrowings. At
June 30, 2017
, the interest rate in effect on letters of credit was
2.75%
. Commitment fees were charged at a rate ranging from
0.375%
to
0.50%
on any unused capacity.
On June 2, 2017, we amended our Credit Agreement.
The amendment, among other things, restricts us from increasing our distribution rate over the amount paid in the preceding quarter if our leverage ratio is greater than 4.25 to 1
and modifies our financial covenants. The following table summarizes the debt covenant levels specified in the Credit Agreement as of
June 30, 2017

At
June 30, 2017
,
we were in compliance with the covenants under the Credit Agreement.
Senior Secured Notes
During the
three months ended
June 30, 2017
, we repurchased
$55.0 million
of our senior secured notes for an aggregate purchase price of
$57.2 million
(excluding payments of accrued interest), and recorded a loss on the early extinguishment of
$3.2 million
(net of
$1.0 million
of debt issuance costs.)
Following the repurchase, semi-annual installment payments will be
$19.5 million
beginning on December 19, 2017 and ending on the maturity date of June 19, 2022.
On August 2, 2017, we amended the note purchase agreement for our senior secured notes with an effective date of June 2, 2017. The amendment, among other things, conforms the financial covenants to match the amended terms of Credit
19
NGL ENERGY PARTNERS LP AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
Agreement and provides for an increase in interest charged if our leverage ratio exceeds certain predetermined levels.
In addition, the amendment also restricts us from increasing our distribution rate over the amount paid in the preceding quarter if our interest coverage ratio is less than 3.00 to 1.
At
June 30, 2017
,
we were in compliance with the covenants under the note purchase agreement for our senior secured notes.
Senior Notes
During the
three months ended
June 30, 2017
, we repurchased
$17.2 million
of our
5.125% senior notes due 2019
for an aggregate purchase price of
$17.2 million
(excluding payments of accrued interest), and recorded a loss on the early extinguishment of
$0.1 million
(net of
$0.1 million
of debt issuance costs.)
At
June 30, 2017
,
we were in compliance with the covenants under the indentures for all of the senior notes.
Other Long-Term Debt
We have executed various non-interest bearing notes payable, primarily related to non-compete agreements entered into in connection with acquisitions of businesses. These instruments have a principal balance of
$7.8 million
at
June 30, 2017
, and the implied interest rates on these instruments range from
1.91%
to
7.00%
per year. We also have certain notes payable related to equipment financing. These instruments have a principal balance of
$6.5 million
at
June 30, 2017
, and the interest rates on these instruments range from
4.13%
to
7.10%
per year.

Note 9
—Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Contingencies
We are party to various claims, legal actions, and complaints arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of our management, the ultimate resolution of these claims, legal actions, and complaints, after consideration of amounts accrued, insurance coverage, and other arrangements, is not expected to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, the outcome of such matters is inherently uncertain, and estimates of our liabilities may change materially as circumstances develop.
Environmental Matters
Our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet at
June 30, 2017
includes a liability, measured on an undiscounted basis, of
$2.3 million
related to environmental matters, which is recorded within accrued expenses and other payables in our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. Our operations are subject to extensive federal, state, and local environmental laws and regulations. Although we believe our operations are in substantial compliance with applicable environmental laws and regulations, risks of additional costs and liabilities are inherent in our business, and there can be no
20
NGL ENERGY PARTNERS LP AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
assurance that we will not incur significant costs. Moreover, it is possible that other developments, such as increasingly stringent environmental laws, regulations and enforcement policies thereunder, and claims for damages to property or persons resulting from the operations, could result in substantial costs. Accordingly, we have adopted policies, practices, and procedures in the areas of pollution control, product safety, occupational health, and the handling, storage, use, and disposal of hazardous materials designed to prevent material environmental or other damage, and to limit the financial liability that could result from such events. However, some risk of environmental or other damage is inherent in our business.
As previously disclosed, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) had informed NGL Crude Logistics, LLC, formerly known as Gavilon, LLC (“Gavilon Energy”), of alleged violations in 2011 by Gavilon Energy of the Clean Air Act’s renewable fuel standards regulations (prior to its acquisition by us in December 2013). On October 4, 2016, the U.S. Department of Justice, acting at the request of the EPA, filed a civil complaint in the Northern District of Iowa against Gavilon Energy and one of its then suppliers, Western Dubuque Biodiesel LLC (“Western Dubuque”). Consistent with the earlier allegations by the EPA, the civil complaint related to transactions between Gavilon Energy and Western Dubuque and the generation of biodiesel renewable identification numbers (“RINs”) sold by Western Dubuque to Gavilon Energy in 2011. On December 19, 2016, we filed a motion to dismiss the complaint. On January 9, 2017, the EPA filed an amended complaint. The amended complaint seeks an order declaring Western Dubuque’s RINs invalid and requiring the defendants to retire an equivalent number of valid RINs and that the defendants pay statutory civil penalties. On January 23, 2017, we filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint, which was denied on May 24, 2017. Consistent with our position against the previous EPA allegations, and the original complaint, we deny the allegations in this amended civil complaint and intend to continue vigorously defending ourselves in the civil action. However, at this time we are unable to determine the outcome of this action or its significance to us.
Asset Retirement Obligations
We have contractual and regulatory obligations at certain facilities for which we have to perform remediation, dismantlement, or removal activities when the assets are retired. Our liability for asset retirement obligations is discounted to present value. To calculate the liability, we make estimates and assumptions about the retirement cost and the timing of retirement. Changes in our assumptions and estimates may occur as a result of the passage of time and the occurrence of future events. The following table summarizes changes in our asset retirement obligation, which is reported within other noncurrent liabilities in our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets (in thousands):
Balance at March 31, 2017
$
8,181
Liabilities incurred
94
Accretion expense

Balance at June 30, 2017
$

In addition to the obligations described above, we may be obligated to remove facilities or perform other remediation upon retirement of certain other assets. However, the fair value of the asset retirement obligation cannot currently be reasonably estimated because the settlement dates are indeterminable. We will record an asset retirement obligation for these assets in the periods in which settlement dates are reasonably determinable.
Operating Leases
We have executed various noncancelable operating lease agreements for product storage, office space, vehicles, real estate, railcars, and equipment. The following table summarizes future minimum lease payments under these agreements at

Pipeline Capacity Agreements
We have executed noncancelable agreements with crude oil pipeline operators, which guarantee us minimum monthly shipping capacity on the pipelines. As a result, we are required to pay the minimum shipping fees if actual shipments are less than our allotted capacity. Under certain agreements we have the ability to recover minimum shipping fees previously paid if our shipping volumes exceed the minimum monthly shipping commitment during each month remaining under the agreement. We currently have a receivable recorded in other noncurrent assets in our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet for minimum shipping fees paid in previous periods that are expected to be recovered in future periods by exceeding the minimum monthly volumes (see
Note 2
).

We account for the contracts shown in the tables above using the
normal purchase and normal sale election
.
Under this accounting policy election, we do not record the contracts at fair value at each balance sheet date; instead, we record the purchase or sale at the contracted value once the delivery occurs.
Contracts in the tables above may have offsetting derivative contracts (described in
Note 11
) or inventory positions (described in
Note 2
).
Certain other forward purchase and sale contracts do not qualify for the normal purchase and normal sale election. These contracts are recorded at fair value in our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet and are not included in the tables above. These contracts are included in the derivative disclosures in
Note 11
, and represent
$36.0 million
of our prepaid expenses and other current assets and
$23.3 million
of our accrued expenses and other payables at
June 30, 2017
.
Note 10
—Equity
Partnership Equity
The Partnership’s equity consists of a
0.1%
general partner interest and a
99.9%
limited partner interest, which consists of common units. Our general partner has the right, but not the obligation, to contribute a proportionate amount of capital to us to maintain its
0.1%
general partner interest. Our general partner is not required to guarantee or pay any of our debts and obligations.
General Partner Contributions
In connection with the issuance of common units for the vesting of restricted units and the warrants that were converted to common units during the
three months ended
June 30, 2017
, we issued
674
notional units to our general partner for
less than $0.1 million
in order to maintain its
0.1%
interest in us.

Class A Convertible Preferred Units
During the
three months ended
June 30, 2016
, we received net proceeds
$235.0 million
(net of offering costs of
$5.0 million
) in connection with the issuance of
19,942,169
Class A Convertible Preferred Units (“Class A Preferred Units”) and
4,375,112
warrants.
We allocated the net proceeds on a relative fair value basis to the Class A Preferred Units, which includes the value of a beneficial conversion feature, and the warrants. Accretion for the beneficial conversion feature, recorded as a deemed distribution, was
$3.2 million
for the
three months ended
June 30, 2017
.
The holders of the warrants may convert one-third of the warrants from and after the first anniversary of the original issue date, another one-third of the warrants from and after the second anniversary and the final one-third of the warrants from and after the third anniversary. The warrants have an exercise price of
$0.01
and an
eight
year term. During the
three months ended
June 30, 2017
,
607,653
warrants were converted to common units and we received proceeds of
less than $0.1 million
. In addition, we repurchased
850,716
unvested warrants for total proceeds of
$10.5 million
on June 23, 2017.
We pay a cumulative, quarterly distribution in arrears at an annual rate of
10.75%
on the Class A Preferred Units to the extent declared by the board of directors of our general partner.

Class B Preferred Units
During the
three months ended
June 30, 2017
, we issued
8,400,000
of our
9.00%
Class B Fixed-to-Floating Rate Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Units (“Class B Preferred Units”) representing limited partner interests at a price of
$25.00
per unit for net proceeds of
$203.0 million
(net of the underwriters’ discount of
$6.6 million
and offering costs of
$0.4 million
).
Distributions on the Class B Preferred Units are payable on the 15th day of each January, April, July and October of each year (beginning on October 15, 2017) to holders of record on the first day of each payment month. The initial distribution rate for the Class B Preferred Units from and including the date of original issue to, but not including, July 1, 2022 is 9.00% per year of the $25.00 liquidation preference per unit (equal to $2.25 per unit per year). On and after July 1, 2022, distributions on the Class B Preferred Units will accumulate at a percentage of the $25.00 liquidation preference equal to the applicable three-month LIBOR plus a spread of 7.213%.
At any time on or after July 1, 2022, we may redeem our Class B Preferred Units, in whole or in part, at a redemption price of $25.00 per Class B Preferred Unit plus an amount equal to all accumulated and unpaid distributions to, but not including, the date of redemption, whether or not declared. We may also redeem the Class B Preferred Units upon a change of control as defined in our partnership agreement. If we choose not to redeem the Class B Preferred Units, the Class B preferred unitholders may have the ability to convert the Class B Preferred Units to common units at the then applicable conversion rate. Class B preferred unitholders have no voting rights except with respect to certain matters set forth in our partnership agreement.
Amended and Restated Partnership Agreement
On June 13, 2017, NGL Energy Holdings LLC executed the Fourth Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership. The preferences, rights, powers and duties of holders of the Class B Preferred Units are defined in the amended and restated partnership agreement. The Class B Preferred Units rank senior to the common units, with respect to the payment of distributions and distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution and winding up and are on parity with the Class A Preferred Units. The Class B Preferred Units have no stated maturity but we may redeem the Class B Preferred Units at any time on or after July 1, 2022. Upon the occurrence of a change in control, we may redeem the Class B Preferred Units.

At-The-Market Program
On August 24, 2016, we entered into an equity distribution agreement in connection with an at-the-market program (the “ATM Program”) pursuant to which we may issue and sell up to
$200.0 million
of common units. We did not issue any common units under the ATM Program during the
three months ended
June 30, 2017
, and approximately
$134.7 million
remained available for sale under the ATM Program at
June 30, 2017
.
Equity-Based Incentive Compensation
Our general partner has adopted a long-term incentive plan (“LTIP”), which allows for the issuance of equity-based compensation. Our general partner has granted certain restricted units to employees and directors, which vest in tranches, subject to the continued service of the recipients. The awards may also vest upon a change of control, at the discretion of the board of directors of our general partner.
No
distributions accrue to or are paid on the restricted units during the vesting period.
The restricted units include both awards that: (i) vest contingent on the continued service of the recipients through the vesting date (the “Service Awards”) and (ii) vest contingent both on the continued service of the recipients through the vesting date and also on the performance of our common units relative to other entities in the Alerian MLP Index (the “Index”) over specified periods of time (the “Performance Awards”).
On April 1, 2017, we made an accounting policy election to account for actual forfeitures, rather than estimate forfeitures each period (as previously required). As a result, the cumulative effect adjustment, which represents the differential between the amount of compensation expense previously recorded and the amount that would have been recorded without assuming forfeitures, had
no
impact on our consolidated financial statements.
The following table summarizes the Service Award activity during the
three months ended

Service Awards are valued at the closing price as of the grant date less the present value of the expected distribution stream over the vesting period using a risk-free interest rate. We record the expense for each Service Award on a straight-line basis over the requisite period for the entire award (that is, over the requisite service period of the last separately vesting portion of the award), ensuring that the amount of compensation cost recognized at any date at least equals the portion of the grant-date value of the award that is vested at that date. During the
three months ended
June 30, 2017
and
2016
, we recorded compensation expense related to Service Award units of
$5.3 million
and
$20.9 million
, respectively.
Of the restricted units granted and vested during the
three months ended
June 30, 2017
,
66,421
units were granted as a bonus for performance during the fiscal
year ended March 31, 2017
. We accrued expense of

during the fiscal year ended

as an estimate of the value of such bonus units that would be granted.

During April 2015, our general partner granted Performance Award units to certain employees. The number of Performance Award units that will vest is contingent on the performance of our common units relative to the performance of the other entities in the Index. Performance will be calculated based on the return on our common units (including changes in the market price of the common units and distributions paid during the performance period) relative to the returns on the common units of the other entities in the Index. As of
June 30, 2017
, performance will be measured over the following periods:
Vesting Date of Tranche
Performance Period for Tranche
July 1, 2017
July 1, 2014 through June 30, 2017
July 1, 2018
July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2018
July 1, 2019
July 1, 2016 through June 30, 2019
During the
three months ended
June 30, 2017
, there was
no
activity related to our Performance Award units.
During the July 1, 2014 through June 30, 2017 performance period, the return on our common units was below the return of the
50th
percentile of our peer companies in the Index. As a result,
no
Performance Award units vested on July 1, 2017 and performance units with the July 1, 2017 vesting date are considered to be forfeited.
The fair value of the Performance Awards is estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation at the grant date. We record the expense for each of the tranches of the Performance Awards on a straight-line basis over the period beginning with the grant date and ending with the vesting date of the tranche. Any Performance Awards that do not become earned Performance Awards will terminate, expire and otherwise be forfeited by the participants. During the
three months ended
June 30, 2017
and
2016
, we recorded compensation expense related to Performance Award units of
$2.1 million
and
$1.5 million
, respectively.

We may have fixed price physical purchases, including inventory, offset by floating price physical sales or floating price physical purchases offset by fixed price physical sales. These contracts are derivatives we have entered into as an economic hedge against the risk of mismatches between fixed and floating price physical obligations.
During the
three months ended
June 30, 2017
, we recorded
a net gain
of
$36.5 million
and during the
three months ended
June 30, 2016
, we recorded a net loss of
$59.7 million
from our commodity derivatives to cost of sales in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Credit Risk
We have credit policies that we believe minimize our overall credit risk, including an evaluation of potential counterparties’ financial condition (including credit ratings), collateral requirements under certain circumstances, and the use of industry standard master netting agreements, which allow for offsetting counterparty receivable and payable balances for certain transactions.
At
June 30, 2017
,
our primary counterparties were retailers, resellers, energy marketers, producers, refiners, and dealers.
This concentration of counterparties may impact our overall exposure to credit risk, either positively or negatively, as the counterparties may be similarly affected by changes in economic, regulatory or other conditions. If a counterparty does not perform on a contract, we may not realize amounts that have been recorded in our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets and recognized in our net income.
Interest Rate Risk
Our Revolving Credit Facility is variable-rate debt with interest rates that are generally indexed to bank prime or LIBOR interest rates.
At
June 30, 2017
,
we had
$769.5 million
of outstanding borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility at a weighted average interest rate of
3.99%
.

For the senior secured notes, the fair value estimate was developed using observed yields on publicly traded notes issued by us, adjusted for differences in the key terms of those notes and the key terms of our notes (examples include differences in the tenor of the debt, credit standing of the issuer, whether the notes are publicly traded, and whether the notes are secured or unsecured). This fair value estimate would be classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. For the senior notes, the fair value estimates were developed based on publicly traded quotes and would be classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.

from Victory Propane, LLC, an equity method investee (see Note 2), with an initial maturity date of March 31, 2021, which can be extended for successive

On June 23, 2017, we repurchased outstanding warrants, as discussed further in

, from funds managed by Oaktree Capital Management, L.P., who are represented on our board of directors.
Note 14—Unaudited Condensed Consolidating Guarantor and Non-Guarantor Financial Information
Certain of our wholly owned subsidiaries have, jointly and severally, fully and unconditionally guaranteed the senior notes (see
Note 8
). Pursuant to Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X, we have presented in columnar format the unaudited condensed consolidating financial information for NGL Energy Partners LP (Parent), NGL Energy Finance Corp., the guarantor subsidiaries on a combined basis, and the non-guarantor subsidiaries on a combined basis in the tables below. NGL Energy Partners LP and NGL Energy Finance Corp. are co-issuers of the senior notes. Since NGL Energy Partners LP received the proceeds from the issuance of the senior notes, all activity has been reflected in the NGL Energy Partners LP (Parent) column in the tables below.
During the periods presented in the tables below, the status of certain subsidiaries changed, in that they either became guarantors of or ceased to be guarantors of the senior notes.
There are no significant restrictions that prevent the parent or any of the guarantor subsidiaries from obtaining funds from their respective subsidiaries by dividend or loan. None of the assets of the guarantor subsidiaries (other than the
32
NGL ENERGY PARTNERS LP AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
investments in non-guarantor subsidiaries) are restricted net assets pursuant to Rule 4-08(e)(3) of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
For purposes of the tables below, (i) the unaudited condensed consolidating financial information is presented on a legal entity basis, (ii) investments in consolidated subsidiaries are accounted for as equity method investments, and (iii) contributions, distributions, and advances to (from) consolidated entities are reported on a net basis within net changes in advances with consolidated entities in the unaudited condensed consolidating statement of cash flow tables below.

Items Impacting the Comparability of Our Financial Results
Our current and future results of operations may not be comparable to our historical results of operations for the periods presented, due to business combinations, disposals and other transactions. Our results of operations for the
three months ended
June 30, 2017
are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for future periods or for the full fiscal year ending
March 31, 2018
. See the detailed discussion of items affecting operating income (loss) by segment below.
Recent Developments
Class B Preferred Units
During the
three months ended
June 30, 2017
, we issued
8,400,000
of our
9.00%
Fixed-to-Floating Rate Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Units (“Class B Preferred Units”) for net proceeds of
$203.0 million
(net of the underwriters’ discount of
$6.6 million
and offering costs of
$0.4 million
). See
Note 10
to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report for a further description of the Class B Preferred Units.
Credit Agreement
On June 2, 2017, we amended our Credit Agreement (as defined herein) to, among other things, modify our financial covenants and restrict increases to distributions. See
Note 8
to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report for a further description.
42
Table of Contents
Note Repurchases
During the
three months ended
June 30, 2017
, we repurchased
$55.0 million
of our senior secured notes and
$17.2 million
of our 5.125% senior notes due 2019. See
Note 8
to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report for a further description.
Senior Secured Notes
On August 2, 2017, we amended the note purchase agreement for our senior secured notes with an effective date of June 2, 2017. The amendment, among other things, conforms the financial covenants to match the amended terms of Credit Agreement, provides for an increase in interest charged if our leverage ratio exceeds certain predetermined levels and restricts us from increasing our distribution rate. See
Note 8
to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report for a further description.
Acquisitions
As discussed below, we completed numerous acquisitions during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017 and one during the
three months ended
June 30, 2017
. These acquisitions impact the comparability of our results of operations between our current and prior fiscal years.

(2)
Information is presented as of
June 30, 2017
and
June 30, 2016
, respectively.
Crude Oil Sales.
The
increase
was due primarily to
an increase
in crude oil prices and barrels sold during the
three months ended
June 30, 2017
,
compared to the
three months ended
June 30, 2016
.
This segment continued to be impacted by increased competition and lower margins in the majority of the basins across the United States and we continue to market crude volumes in this lower price environment to support our various pipeline, terminal and transportation assets.
Crude Oil Transportation and Other Revenues.
The
increase
was due primarily to our Grand Mesa Pipeline becoming operational on November 1, 2016 with revenues of
$19.3 million
,
partially offset by the flattening of the contango curve for crude oil (a condition in which forward crude oil prices are greater than spot prices) during the
three months ended
June 30, 2017
,
compared to the
three months ended
June 30, 2016
,
and lower revenues in our barge operations during the
three months ended
June 30, 2017
due to a general slowdown in demand for transportation services, compared to the
three months ended
June 30, 2016
.
Cost of Sales.
The
increase
was due primarily to
an increase
in crude oil prices during the
three months ended
June 30, 2017
,
compared to the
three months ended
June 30, 2016
.
Our cost of sales during the
three months ended
June 30, 2017
was
reduced
by
$4.4 million
of
net realized gains
on derivatives and
$0.7 million
of
net unrealized gains
on derivatives.
Our cost of sales during the
three months ended
June 30, 2016
was increased by $8.2 million of net realized losses on derivatives and reduced by $1.4 million of net unrealized gains on derivatives.
44
Table of Contents
Operating and General and Administrative Expenses
.
The
increase
was due primarily to our Grand Mesa Pipeline project becoming operational on November 1, 2016. During the
three months ended
June 30, 2017
,
we incurred expenses of
$3.2 million
related to Grand Mesa.
Depreciation and Amortization Expense.
The
increase
was due primarily to our Grand Mesa Pipeline project becoming operational on November 1, 2016
.
During the
three months ended
June 30, 2017
,
we incurred depreciation and amortization expense of
$10.5 million
related to Grand Mesa.
(Gain) Loss on Disposal or Impairment of Assets, Net
. During the
three months ended
June 30, 2017
, we recorded
a net gain
of
$3.6 million
on the sales of excess pipe and certain other assets. During the
three months ended
June 30, 2016
, we recorded a net loss of
$1.5 million
on the sales of certain assets.

Service Fee Revenues.
The
increase
was due primarily to
an increase
in the volume of wastewater processed at existing facilities, partially offset by a lower price per barrel received in current market conditions. We continue to benefit from the increased rig counts in the basins in which we operate, particularly in the Permian and DJ Basins.
Recovered Hydrocarbon Revenues.
The
increase
was due primarily to
an increase
in the volume of wastewater processed, partially offset by a decrease in the amount of hydrocarbons per barrel of wastewater processed.
45
Table of Contents
Other Revenues.
Other revenues primarily include solids disposal revenues and water pipeline revenues.
The
increase
was due primarily to
an increase
in volumes for solids disposal, water pipeline businesses as well as additional activity to truck wastewater to certain of our water solutions facilities. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in freshwater revenues due to the sale of Grassland in November 2016.
Cost of Sales-Derivatives
.
We enter into derivatives in our Water Solutions segment to protect against the risk of a decline in the market price of the hydrocarbons we expect to recover when processing the wastewater and selling the skim oil.
Our cost of sales during the
three months ended
June 30, 2017
included
$0.2 million
of
net realized gains
on derivatives.
Our cost of sales during the
three months ended
June 30, 2016
included
$3.7 million of net realized losses on derivatives and $1.3 million of net unrealized losses on derivatives.
Cost of Sales-Other
.
The
increase
was due to trucking expenses to bring wastewater to certain of our water solutions facilities.
Operating and General and Administrative Expenses
.
The
increase
was due primarily to
higher
operating costs of water disposal wells due to
higher
volumes processed, partially offset by cost reduction efforts.
Depreciation and Amortization Expense
.
The
decrease
was due primarily to acquisitions and developed facilities, partially offset by lower amortization expense from the write-off of an intangible asset during the
three months ended
June 30, 2016
as well as certain intangible assets being fully amortized during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017.
Gain on Disposal or Impairment of Assets, Net
.
During the
three months ended
June 30, 2017
,
we recorded a gain of
$1.3 million
for the termination of a non-compete agreement, which included the carrying value of the non-compete agreement intangible asset that was written off (see
Note 7
to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report), partially offset by
a net loss
of
$0.6 million
on the sales of certain assets.
During the
three months ended
June 30, 2016
, we recorded:
•
an adjustment of
$124.7 million
to the previously recorded
$380.2 million
estimated goodwill impairment charge recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2016;
•
a write-off of
$5.2 million
related to the value of an indefinite-lived trade name intangible asset in conjunction with finalizing our goodwill impairment analysis in June 2016;
•
a loss of
$22.7 million
related to the termination of a development agreement in June 2016, which included the carrying value of the development agreement asset that was written off;
•
an impairment charge of
$1.7 million
to write down a loan receivable in June 2016; and
•
a loss of
$0.8 million
on the sales of certain assets.

Propane Sales.
The increase in revenues was due to increased sales volumes and higher commodity prices.
Our cost of wholesale propane sales was increased by $0.3 million of net unrealized losses on derivatives and reduced by $0.1 million of net realized gains on derivatives during the
three months ended
June 30, 2017
. During the
three months ended
June 30, 2016
, our cost of wholesale propane sales was reduced by $0.9 million of net unrealized gains on derivatives and $0.5 million of net realized gains on derivatives.
Propane margins are lower primarily due to product storage costs and an increase in unrecovered railcar fleet costs.
Butane Sales.
The increase in revenues and cost of sales was primarily due to higher commodity prices.
Our cost of butane sales during the
three months ended
June 30, 2017
was reduced by $1.7 million of net unrealized gains on derivatives, compared to an increase of $1.8 million of net unrealized losses on derivatives during the
three months ended
June 30, 2016
. Additionally, our cost of butane sales was reduced by $0.2 million of net realized gains on derivatives and $0.4 million of net realized gains on derivatives during the
three months ended
June 30, 2017
and 2016, respectively.
Product margins per gallon of butane sold were higher during the
three months ended
June 30, 2017
than during the
three months ended
June 30, 2016
primarily due to the strategic use of our railcar fleet for storage during the blending off season.
Other Products Sales.
The increase in the volume of other products sold was primarily due to a new long term marketing agreement.
Our cost of sales of other products was reduced by less than $0.1 million of net realized gains on derivatives during the
three months ended
June 30, 2017
. Our cost of sales of other products during the
three months ended
June 30, 2016
was reduced by $0.1 million of net realized gains on derivatives.
Product margins during the
three months ended
June 30, 2017
were reduced due to an increase in unrecovered railcar fleet costs.
Other Revenues.
This revenue includes storage, terminaling and transportation services income. The decrease was due to a decline in hauling activity and lower reduced storage service income.
Operating and General and Administrative Expenses.
The decrease was due primarily to a decrease in incentive compensation and commission expense associated with lower product sales.
Depreciation and Amortization Expense.
The
increase was due primar
ily to additional assets being placed into service as well as the acquisition of two liquids facilities during the previous fiscal year.

Refined Products Sales and Cost of Sales.
The
increases
in revenues and cost of sales were due to
an increase
in refined products prices and
increased
volumes.
The
increased
volumes were due primarily to additional pipeline capacity rights
51
Table of Contents
purchased during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017
,
an expansion of our refined products operations, and the continued demand for motor fuels in the current low gasoline price environment.
The decrease in margin was due primarily to the negative impact of the continued decline in gasoline line space values on the Colonial Pipeline, discretionary terminal volume profitability and line space sales during the
three months ended
June 30, 2017
as well as Gulf Coast prices decreasing, on which our sales contracts are based, resulting in our average sale price decreasing more relative to our cost of sales.
During the
three months ended
June 30, 2016
,
Gulf Coast prices increased, which resulted in our average sale price increasing more relative to our cost of sales and due to basis strengthening (i.e. Gulf Coast prices, on which our sales contracts are based, increased more than New York Harbor prices, which our futures contracts are based), which had a favorable impact on our cost of sales.
Renewables Sales and Cost of Sales.
The
increases
in revenues and cost of sales were due primarily to
an increase
in renewables prices, partially offset by
decreased
volumes.
The
decreased
volumes were due primarily to lower margins in current market conditions.
Service Fee Revenues, Operating Expenses, General and Administrative Expenses.
The
decrease
was due primarily to the expiration of a transition services agreement in October 2016 related to the sale of all of the
TransMontaigne Partners L.P. (“
TLP
”)
units we owned whereby we were reimbursed for certain expenses incurred on behalf of a third party.
Depreciation and Amortization Expense.
The
decrease
was due primarily to certain assets being fully depreciated during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017.
Gain on Disposal or Impairment of Assets, Net
.
During the
three months ended
June 30, 2017
, we recorded
$7.5 million

.
During the
three months ended
June 30, 2016

General and Administrative Expenses.
The decrease during the
three months ended
June 30, 2017
was due primarily to lower incentive compensation expense.
The decrease in incentive compensation was primarily related to our service awards units. During the
three months ended
June 30, 2017
, expense related to the service award units was $5.3 million, compared to $20.9 million during the
three months ended
June 30, 2016
. During the
three months ended
June 30, 2016
, the expense for the service award units was
52
Table of Contents
accounted for under the liability method. The increase in the prior year was due to the increased unit price from the beginning of the quarter to the end of the quarter.
Equity in Earnings of Unconsolidated Entities
The
increase
of
$1.4 million
during the
three months ended
June 30, 2017
was due primarily to increased earnings related to our investment in Glass Mountain Pipeline, LLC (“Glass Mountain”).
Revaluation of Investments
As previously reported, on June 3, 2016, we acquired the remaining
65%
ownership interest in
Grassland
.
Prior to the completion of this transaction, we accounted for our previously held
35%
ownership interest in Grassland using the equity method of accounting.
As we owned a controlling interest in Grassland, we revalued our previously held
35%
ownership interest to fair value and recorded a loss of
$14.9 million
.
As the amount paid (cash plus the fair value of our previously held ownership interest) was less than the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, we recorded a bargain purchase gain of
$0.6 million
.
Interest Expense
Interest expense includes interest expense on our Revolving Credit Facility and senior notes, amortization of debt issuance costs, letter of credit fees, interest on equipment financing notes, and accretion of interest on non-interest bearing debt obligations. The
increase
of
$18.8 million
during the
three months ended
June 30, 2017
was due primarily to the issuance of
$700.0 million
of fixed-rate notes during October 2016 and the issuance of
$500.0 million
of fixed-rate notes during February 2017.

Noncontrolling interests represent the portion of certain consolidated subsidiaries that are owned by third parties.
The

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to financial results reported in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), we have provided the non-GAAP financial measures of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. These non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to be a substitute for those reported in accordance with GAAP. These measures may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other entities, even when similar terms are used to identify such measures.
We define
EBITDA as net income (loss) attributable to NGL Energy Partners LP, plus interest expense, income tax expense (benefit), and depreciation and amortization expense.
We define
Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA excluding net unrealized gains and losses on derivatives, lower of cost or market adjustments, gains and losses on disposal or impairment of assets, gain on early extinguishment of liabilities, revaluation of investments, equity-based compensation expense, acquisition expense and other.
We
also include
in Adjusted EBITDA certain inventory valuation adjustments related to
our
Refined Products and Renewables segment, as discussed below.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered alternatives to net (loss) income, (loss) income before income taxes, cash flows from operating activities, or any other measure of financial performance calculated in accordance with GAAP, as those items are used to measure operating performance, liquidity or the ability to service debt obligations.
We believe
that EBITDA provides additional information to investors for evaluating
our
ability to make quarterly distributions to
our
unitholders and is presented solely as a supplemental measure.
We believe
that Adjusted EBITDA provides additional information to investors for evaluating
our
financial performance without regard to
our
financing methods, capital structure and historical cost basis.
Further, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, as
we define
them, may not be comparable to EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, or similarly titled measures used by other entities.
Other than for
our
Refined Products and Renewables segment, for purposes of
our
Adjusted EBITDA calculation,
we make
a distinction between realized and unrealized gains and losses on derivatives.
During the period when a derivative contract is open,
we record
changes in the fair value of the derivative as an unrealized gain or loss.
When a derivative contract
54
Table of Contents
matures or is settled,
we reverse
the previously recorded unrealized gain or loss and record a realized gain or loss.
We do
not draw such a distinction between realized and unrealized gains and losses on derivatives of
our
Refined Products and Renewables segment.
The primary hedging strategy of
our
Refined Products and Renewables segment is to hedge against the risk of declines in the value of inventory over the course of the contract cycle, and many of the hedges are six months to one year in duration at inception.
The “inventory valuation adjustment” row in the reconciliation table
reflects the difference between the market value of the inventory of
our
Refined Products and Renewables segment at the balance sheet date and its cost.
We include
this in Adjusted EBITDA because the unrealized gains and losses associated with derivative contracts associated with the inventory of this segment, which are intended primarily to hedge inventory holding risk and are included in net income, also affect Adjusted EBITDA.

Liquidity, Sources of Capital and Capital Resource Activities
Our principal sources of liquidity and capital are the cash flows from our operations, borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility (as defined herein) and accessing capital markets. See
Note 8
to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report for a detailed description of our long-term debt. Our cash flows from operations are discussed below.
Our borrowing needs vary during the year due in part to the seasonal nature of our Liquids, Retail Propane and Refined Products & Renewables businesses. Our greatest working capital borrowing needs generally occur during the period of June through December, when we are building our natural gas liquids inventories in anticipation of the heating season as well as building our gasoline inventories in anticipation of the winter gasoline contango and blending season. Our working capital borrowing needs generally decline during the period of January through March, when the cash flows from our Retail Propane and Liquids segments are the greatest and gasoline inventories need to be minimized due to certain inventory requirements.
Our partnership agreement requires that, within 45 days after the end of each quarter, we distribute all of our available cash (as defined in our partnership agreement) to unitholders as of the record date. Available cash for any quarter generally consists of all cash on hand at the end of that quarter, less the amount of cash reserves established by our general partner, to (i) provide for the proper conduct of our business, (ii) comply with applicable law, any of our debt instruments or other agreements, and (iii) provide funds for distributions to our unitholders and to our general partner for any one or more of the next four quarters.
We believe that our anticipated cash flows from operations and the borrowing capacity under our Revolving Credit Facility (as defined herein) are sufficient to meet our liquidity needs. If our plans or assumptions change or are inaccurate, or if we make acquisitions, we may need to raise additional capital or sell assets. Our ability to raise additional capital, if necessary, depends on various factors and conditions, including market conditions. We cannot give any assurances that we can raise additional capital to meet these needs. Commitments or expenditures, if any, we may make toward any acquisition projects are at our discretion.
Under current market conditions, we are much less likely to pursue acquisitions than we have been in the past. We continue to undertake certain capital expansion projects, including the Glass Mountain pipeline extension, among others. We expect to be able to finance these projects through available capacity on our Revolving Credit Facility (as defined herein), asset sales or other forms of financing.
Other sources of liquidity during the
three months ended
June 30, 2017
are discussed below.
Class B Preferred Units
During the
three months ended
June 30, 2017
, we issued
8,400,000
of our Class B Preferred Units representing limited partner interests at a price of
$25.00
per unit for net proceeds of
$203.0 million
(net of the underwriters’ discount of
$6.6 million
and offering costs of
$0.4 million
). See
Note 10
to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report for a further description of the Class B Preferred Units.
Long-Term Debt
Credit Agreement
We are party to a
$1.765 billion
credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with a syndicate of banks. As of
June 30, 2017
, the Credit Agreement includes a revolving credit facility to fund working capital needs, which had a capacity of
$1.0 billion
for cash borrowings and letters of credit, (the “Working Capital Facility”) and a revolving credit facility to fund acquisitions and expansion projects, which had a capacity of
$765.0 million
(the “Expansion Capital Facility,” and together with the Working Capital Facility, the “Revolving Credit Facility”). We had letters of credit of
$71.7 million
on the Working Capital Facility at
June 30, 2017
.
On June 2, 2017, we amended our Credit Agreement to, among other things, modify our financial covenants. In addition, the amendment also restricts us from increasing our distribution rate over the amount paid in the preceding quarter if our leverage ratio is greater than 4.25 to 1.
At
June 30, 2017
,
we were in compliance with the covenants under the Credit Agreement.

Table of Contents
Senior Secured Notes
During the
three months ended
June 30, 2017
, we repurchased
$55.0 million
of our senior secured notes for an aggregate purchase price of
$57.2 million
(excluding payments of accrued interest), and recorded a loss on the early extinguishment of
$3.2 million
(net of
$1.0 million
of debt issuance costs.)
Following the repurchase, semi-annual installment payments will be
$19.5 million
beginning on December 19, 2017 and ending on the maturity date of June 19, 2022.
On August 2, 2017, we amended the note purchase agreement for our senior secured notes with an effective date of June 2, 2017. The amendment, among other things, conforms the financial covenants to match the amended terms of Credit Agreement and provides for an increase in interest charged if our leverage ratio exceeds certain predetermined levels.
In addition, the amendment also restricts us from increasing our distribution rate over the amount paid in the preceding quarter if our interest coverage ratio is less than 3.00 to 1.
At
June 30, 2017
,
we were in compliance with the covenants under the note purchase agreement for our senior secured notes.
Senior Notes
During the
three months ended
June 30, 2017
, we repurchased
$17.2 million
of our
5.125% senior notes due 2019
for an aggregate purchase price of
$17.2 million
(excluding payments of accrued interest), and recorded a loss on the early extinguishment of
$0.1 million
(net of
$0.1 million
of debt issuance costs.)
At
June 30, 2017
,
we were in compliance with the covenants under the indentures for all of the senior notes.

$200.0 million
of common units. We are under no obligation to issue equity under the ATM Program. We did not issue any common units under the ATM Program during the
three months ended
June 30, 2017
, and approximately
$134.7 million
remained available for sale under the ATM Program as of

Operating Activities.
The seasonality of our natural gas liquids businesses has a significant effect on our cash flows from operating activities. Increases in natural gas liquids prices typically reduce our operating cash flows due to higher cash requirements to fund increases in inventories, and decreases in natural gas liquids prices typically increase our operating cash flows due to lower cash requirements to fund increases in inventories. In our Liquids and Retail Propane businesses, we typically experience operating losses or lower operating income during our first and second quarters, or the six months ending September 30, as a result of lower volumes of natural gas liquids sales and when we are building our inventory levels for the upcoming heating season. The heating season runs through the six months ending March 31. The seasonal motor fuel blending impacts the value of our gasoline inventory in our Refined Products and Renewables business and also represents a period when we build inventory into our system. We borrow under our Revolving Credit Facility to supplement our operating cash flows during the periods in which we are building inventory. Our operations, and as a result our cash flows, are also impacted by positive and negative movements in commodity prices, which cause fluctuations in the value of inventory, accounts receivable and payables, due to increases and decreases in revenues and cost of sales. The
increase
in net cash provided by operating activities during the
three months ended
June 30, 2017
was primarily a result of the decrease in inventory balances in our Refined Products and Renewables segment. During the
three months ended
June 30, 2016
, inventory balances in our Refined Products and Renewables segment increased primarily due to the purchase of additional pipeline capacity rights.
Investing Activities
. Net cash used in investing activities was
$9.2 million
during the
three months ended
June 30, 2017
, compared to
$75.5 million
during the
three months ended
June 30, 2016
. The
decrease
in net cash used in investing activities was due primarily to:
•
a
decrease
in capital expenditures from
$140.2 million
during the
three months ended
June 30, 2016
, primarily related to the Grand Mesa Pipeline, to
$31.5 million
during the
three months ended
June 30, 2017
;
•
a
$44.8 million
increase
in cash flows from derivatives;
•
a
$19.7 million
increase
in proceeds primarily from
the sale of excess pipe in our Crude Oil Logistics segment
during the
three months ended
June 30, 2017
; and
•
a
$16.9 million
payment to terminate a development agreement during the
three months ended
June 30, 2016
.

Table of Contents
These
decrease
s in net cash used in investing activities were partially offset by
$112.4 million
in proceeds received from the sale of the TLP common units we owned during the
three months ended
June 30, 2016
.
Financing Activities
. Net cash provided by financing activities was
$15.5 million
during the
three months ended
June 30, 2017
, compared to
$128.8 million
during the
three months ended
June 30, 2016
. The
decrease
in net cash provided by financing activities was due primarily to:
•
an increase
of
$59.3 million
in repurchases of a portion of our outstanding senior secured notes and senior notes during the
three months ended
June 30, 2017
;
•
a decrease
of
$32.2 million
in proceeds received from the sale of preferred units;
•
a decrease
of
$24.0 million
in borrowings on our Revolving Credit Facility (net of repayments) during the
three months ended
June 30, 2017
;
•
an increase
of
$11.3 million
in distributions paid to our partners and noncontrolling interest owners during the
three months ended
June 30, 2017
; and
•
$10.5 million
for the repurchase of warrants related to our Class A Preferred Units during the
three months ended
June 30, 2017
.
These
decrease
s in net cash provided by financing activities were partially offset by a
$25.6 million
release of contingent consideration liabilities related to the termination of a development agreement during the
three months ended
June 30, 2016
.
Distributions Declared
Our partnership agreement requires that, within 45 days after the end of each quarter, we distribute all of our available cash (as defined in our partnership agreement) to unitholders as of the record date. See further discussion of our cash distribution policy in Item 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Unitholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities included in our Annual Report.
On
July 20, 2017
, the board of directors of our general partner declared a distribution of
$0.39
per common unit to the unitholders of record on
August 4, 2017
. In addition, the board of directors declared a distribution to the holders of the Class A Preferred Units of $6.4 million in the aggregate. The distributions are to be paid to both the common unitholders and the holders of the Class A Preferred Units on
August 14, 2017
.
The initial distribution on the Class B Preferred Units will accumulate after the original issuance date until September 30, 2017 and will be payable on October 15, 2017, if declared.

The estimated interest payments on our Revolving Credit Facility are based on principal and letters of credit outstanding at
June 30, 2017
. See
Note 8
to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report for additional information on our Credit Agreement.

We have executed noncancelable agreements with crude oil operators, which guarantee us minimum monthly shipping capacity on the pipelines. As a result, we are required to pay the minimum shipping fees if actual shipments are less than our allotted capacity. Under certain agreements we have the ability to recover minimum shipping fees previously paid if our shipping volumes exceed the minimum monthly shipping commitment during each month remaining under the agreement. See
Note 9
to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report for additional information.

At
June 30, 2017
, construction commitments relate to the Glass Mountain pipeline extension and an expansion of a salt dome cavern.
(4)
Index prices are based on a forward price curve at
June 30, 2017
. A theoretical change of $0.10 per gallon in the underlying commodity price at
June 30, 2017
would result in a change of
$95.5 million
in the value of our index-price natural gas liquids purchase commitments. A theoretical change of $1.00 per barrel in the underlying commodity price at
June 30, 2017
would result in a change of
$37.9 million
in the value of our index-price crude oil purchase commitments. See
Note 9
to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report for further detail of the commitments.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off balance sheet arrangements other than the operating leases discussed in
Note 9

Environmental Legislation
See our Annual Report for a discussion of proposed environmental legislation and regulations that, if enacted, could result in increased compliance and operating costs. However, at this time we cannot predict the structure or outcome of any future legislation or regulations or the eventual cost we could incur in compliance.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
For a discussion of recent accounting pronouncements that are applicable to us, see
Note 2
to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with GAAP requires the selection and application of appropriate accounting principles to the relevant facts and circumstances of our operations and the use of estimates made by management. We have identified certain accounting policies that are most important to the portrayal of our consolidated financial position and results of operations. The application of these accounting policies, which requires subjective or complex judgments regarding estimates and projected outcomes of future events, and changes in these accounting policies, could have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements. There have been no material changes in the critical accounting policies previously disclosed in our Annual Report.

Item 3.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Interest Rate Risk
A significant portion of our long-term debt is variable-rate debt. Changes in interest rates impact the interest payments of our variable-rate debt but generally do not impact the fair value of the liability. Conversely, changes in interest rates impact the fair value of our fixed-rate debt but do not impact its cash flows.
Our Revolving Credit Facility is variable-rate debt with interest rates that are generally indexed to bank prime or LIBOR interest rates.
At
June 30, 2017
,
we had
$769.5 million
of outstanding borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility at a weighted average interest rate of
3.99%
. A change in interest rates of
0.125%
would result in an increase or decrease of our annual interest expense of
$1.0 million
, based on borrowings outstanding at
June 30, 2017
.
Commodity Price and Credit Risk
Our operations are subject to certain business risks, including commodity price risk and credit risk.
Commodity price risk is the risk that the market value of crude oil, natural gas liquids, or refined and renewables products will change, either favorably or unfavorably, in response to changing market conditions.
Credit risk is the risk of loss from nonperformance by suppliers, customers or financial counterparties to a contract.
Procedures and limits for managing commodity price risks and credit risks are specified in our market risk policy and credit risk policy, respectively.
Open commodity positions and market price changes are monitored daily and are reported to senior management and to marketing operations personnel.
Credit risk is monitored daily and exposure is minimized through customer deposits, restrictions on product liftings, letters of credit, and entering into master netting agreements that allow for offsetting counterparty receivable and payable balances for certain transactions.
At
June 30, 2017
,
our primary counterparties were retailers, resellers, energy marketers, producers, refiners, and dealers.
The crude oil, natural gas liquids, and refined and renewables products industries are “margin-based” and “cost-plus” businesses in which gross profits depend on the differential of sales prices over supply costs. We have no control over market conditions. As a result, our profitability may be impacted by sudden and significant changes in the price of crude oil, natural gas liquids, and refined and renewables products.
We engage in various types of forward contracts and financial derivative transactions to reduce the effect of price volatility on our product costs, to protect the value of our inventory positions, and to help ensure the availability of product during periods of short supply. We attempt to balance our contractual portfolio by purchasing volumes when we have a matching purchase commitment from our wholesale and retail customers. We may experience net unbalanced positions from time to time. In addition to our ongoing policy to maintain a balanced position, for accounting purposes we are required, on an ongoing basis, to track and report the market value of our derivative portfolio.
Although we use financial derivative instruments to reduce the market price risk associated with forecasted transactions, we do not account for financial derivative transactions as hedges. We record the changes in fair value of these financial derivative transactions within cost of sales in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. The following table summarizes the hypothetical impact on the
June 30, 2017
fair value of our commodity derivatives of an increase of 10% in the value of the underlying commodity (in thousands):

Fair Value
We use observable market values for determining the fair value of our derivative instruments. In cases where actively quoted prices are not available, other external sources are used which incorporate information about commodity prices in actively quoted markets, quoted prices in less active markets and other market fundamental analysis.
Item 4.
Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13(a)-15(e) and 15(d)-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our filings and submissions under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer of our general partner, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
We completed an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer of our general partner, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures at
June 30, 2017
. Based on this evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer of our general partner have concluded that as of
June 30, 2017
, such disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide the reasonable assurance described above.
There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13(a)-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the
three months ended
June 30, 2017
that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1.
Legal Proceedings
We are involved from time to time in various legal proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary course of business. For information related to legal proceedings, see the discussion under the captions “
Legal Contingencies
” and “
Environmental Matters
” in
Note 9
to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report, which information is incorporated by reference into this Item 1.
Item 1A.
Risk Factors
Except for amending and restating the risk factor below, there have been no material changes in the risk factors previously disclosed in Part I, Item 1A–“Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal
year ended March 31, 2017
.
The Preferred Units give the holders thereof liquidation and distribution preferences, certain rights relating to our business and management, and the ability to convert such units into our common units, potentially causing dilution to our common unitholders.
In June 2016, we issued 19,942,169 10.75% Class A Convertible Preferred Units and in June 2017, we issued 8,400,000 Class B Fixed-to-Floating Rate Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Units (collectively the “Preferred Units”), which rank senior to the common units with respect to distribution rights and rights upon liquidation. Subject to certain exceptions, as long as any Preferred Units remain outstanding, we may not declare any distribution on our common units unless all accumulated and unpaid distributions have been declared and paid on the Preferred Units. In the event of our liquidation, winding-up or dissolution, the holders of the Preferred Units would have the right to receive proceeds from any such transaction before the holders of the common units. The payment of the liquidation preference could result in common unitholders not receiving any consideration if we were to liquidate, dissolve or wind up, either voluntarily or involuntarily. Additionally, the existence of the liquidation preference may reduce the value of the common units, make it harder for us to sell common units in offerings in the future, or prevent or delay a change of control.
In connection with the issuance of the 10.75% Class A Convertible Preferred Units, we entered into an agreement with Oaktree Capital Management L.P. (“Oaktree”) pursuant to which we granted them the right to appoint one member to the board of directors of our general partner. In addition, the holders of the 10.75% Class A Convertible Preferred Units have the right to vote, under certain conditions, on an as-converted basis with our common unitholders on matters submitted to a unitholder vote. Also, as long as any 10.75% Class A Convertible Preferred Units are outstanding, subject to certain exceptions, the affirmative vote or consent of the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding 10.75% Class A Convertible Preferred Units, voting together as a separate class, will be necessary for effecting or validating, among other things: (i) any action to be taken that adversely affects any of the rights, preferences or privileges of the 10.75% Class A Convertible Preferred Units, (ii) amending the terms of the 10.75% Class A Convertible Preferred Units, (iii) the issuance of any additional Preferred Units or equity security senior in right of distribution or in liquidation to the Preferred Units, (iv) any issuance of preferred equity securities by any of our consolidated controlled subsidiaries of any issued or authorized amount of, any specific class or series of securities, (v) any issuance by us of parity units, subject to certain exceptions and (vi) the ability to incur funded indebtedness for borrowed money if pro forma for such incurrence, the adjusted leverage ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) would exceed 5.50. These restrictions may adversely affect our ability to finance future operations or capital needs or to engage in other business activities.
Furthermore, the conversion of the 10.75% Class A Convertible Preferred Units into common units, as early as three years from the issuance date of the Preferred Units, may cause substantial dilution to holders of the common units. Because the board of directors of our general partner is entitled to designate the powers and preferences of Preferred Units without a vote of our unitholders, subject to New York Stock Exchange rules and regulations, our unitholders will have no control over what designations and preferences our future preferred units, if any, will have.
Item 2.
Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
On June 23, 2017, we repurchased
850,716
warrants, issued in connection with our Class A convertible preferred unit offering, from funds managed by Oaktree Capital Management L.P. for
$10.5 million
