NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Organization and Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
Organization
We are a growth-oriented master limited partnership formed in Delaware in 1996 and focused on the midstream segment of the oil and gas industry in the Gulf Coast region of the United States, primarily Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, Wyoming and in the Gulf of Mexico. We have a diverse portfolio of assets, including pipelines, offshore hub and junction platforms, refinery-related plants, storage tanks and terminals, railcars, rail loading and unloading facilities, barges and trucks. We are owned 100% by our limited partners. Our general partner, Genesis Energy, LLC, is a wholly-owned subsidiary. Our general partner has sole responsibility for conducting our business and managing our operations. We conduct our operations and own our operating assets through our subsidiaries and joint ventures. We manage our businesses through the following five divisions that constitute our reportable segments:
| |
• | Onshore pipeline transportation of crude oil and, to a lesser extent, carbon dioxide (or "CO2"); |
| |
• | Offshore pipeline transportation and processing of crude oil and natural gas in the Gulf of Mexico; |
| |
• | Refinery services involving processing of high sulfur (or “sour”) gas streams for refineries to remove the sulfur, and selling the related by-product, sodium hydrosulfide (or “NaHS”, commonly pronounced "nash"); |
| |
• | Marine transportation to provide waterborne transportation of petroleum products and crude oil throughout North America; and |
| |
• | Supply and logistics services, which include terminaling, blending, storing, marketing and transporting crude oil and petroleum products and, on a smaller scale, CO2. |
On July 24, 2015, we acquired the offshore pipeline and services business of Enterprise Products Partners, L.P. and its affiliates for approximately $1.5 billion, subject to certain adjustments. That business includes interests in approximately 2,350 miles of offshore crude oil and natural gas pipelines and six offshore hub platforms that serve some of the most active drilling and development regions in the United States, including deepwater production fields in the Gulf of Mexico offshore Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama. At the closing of that transaction, we entered into transition service agreements to facilitate a smooth transition of operations and uninterrupted services for both employees and customers. That acquisition complements and substantially expands our existing offshore pipelines segment.
Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
The accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include Genesis Energy, L.P. and its subsidiaries, including our general partner, Genesis Energy, LLC.
Our results of operations for the interim periods shown in this report are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the fiscal year. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included herein have been prepared by us without audit pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they reflect all adjustments (which consist solely of normal recurring adjustments) that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial results for interim periods. Certain information and notes normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. However, we believe that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading when read in conjunction with the information contained in the periodic reports we file with the SEC pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, as amended and superseded in part in Genesis' Current Report on Form 8-K filed on July 2, 2015.
Except per unit amounts, or as noted within the context of each footnote disclosure, the dollar amounts presented in the tabular data within these footnote disclosures are stated in thousands of dollars.
2. Recent Accounting Developments
Recently Issued
In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued guidance that will require the presentation of debt issuance costs in financial statements as a direct reduction of related debt liabilities with amortization of debt issuance costs reported as interest expense. Under current U.S. GAAP standards, debt issuance costs are reported as deferred charges (i.e., as an asset). This guidance is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015 and is to be applied retrospectively upon adoption. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period for financial statements that have not been previously issued. We are considering adopting this guidance in the fourth quarter of 2015.
In May 2014, the FASB issued revised guidance on revenue from contracts with customers that will supersede most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The core principle of the revenue model is that an entity will recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The new standard provides a five-step analysis for transactions to determine when and how revenue is recognized. The guidance permits the use of either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach. In July 2015, the FASB approved a one year deferral of the effective date of this standard to December 15, 2017 for annual reporting periods beginning after that date. The FASB also approved early adoption of the standard, but not before the original effective date of December 15, 2016. We are evaluating the transition methods and the impact of the amended guidance on our financial position, results of operations and related disclosures.
In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-16 in response to stakeholder feedback that restating prior periods to reflect adjustments made to provisional amounts recognized in a business combination adds cost and complexity to financial reporting but does not significantly improve the usefulness of information provided to users. Under the new ASU, an acquirer must recognize adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined. The ASU also requires that the acquirer present separately on the face of the income statement, or disclose in the notes, the portion of the amount recorded in current period earnings by line item that would have been recorded in previous reporting periods if the adjustment to the provisional amounts had been recognized as of the acquisition date. Early application is permitted for financial statements that have not been issued. We are currently evaluating this guidance.
3. Acquisition and Divestiture
Acquisition
Enterprise Offshore
On July 24, 2015, we completed the Enterprise acquisition for $1.5 billion, subject to certain adjustments. That business includes interests in approximately 2,350 miles of offshore crude oil and natural gas pipelines and six offshore hub platforms, including a 36% interest in the Poseidon Oil Pipeline System, a 50% interest in the Southeast Keathley Canyon Oil Pipeline System, and a 50% interest in the Cameron Highway Oil Pipeline System. To finance that transaction, in July, we issued 10,350,000 common units in a public offering that generated proceeds of $437.2 million net of underwriter discounts and $750 million aggregate principal amount of 6.75% senior unsecured notes due 2022 that generated net proceeds of $728.6 million net of issuance discount and underwriting fees. The remainder of that transaction was financed with borrowings under our senior secured credit facility.
We have reflected the financial results of the acquired business in our offshore pipeline transportation segment from the date of acquisition. The purchase price has been allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on estimated preliminary fair values. Those preliminary fair values were developed by management with the assistance of a third-party valuation firm and are subject to change pending a final valuation report and final determination of working capital acquired and other purchase price adjustments. We expect to finalize the purchase price allocation for this transaction during the fourth quarter of 2015. We do not expect any material adjustments to these preliminary purchase price allocations as a result of the final valuation.
The allocation of the purchase price, as presented on our Consolidated Balance Sheet, is summarized as follows:
|
| | | |
Cash | $ | 1,087 |
|
Accounts receivable | 28,783 |
|
Inventories | 600 |
|
Other current assets | 3,504 |
|
Fixed assets | 1,229,807 |
|
Intangible assets | 79,416 |
|
Equity investees | 353,841 |
|
Accounts payable | (6,464 | ) |
Accrued liabilities | (15,017 | ) |
Other long-term liabilities | (163,513 | ) |
Noncontrolling interest | 6,471 |
|
Total purchase price | $ | 1,518,515 |
|
Fixed assets identified in connection with our valuation and preliminary purchase price allocation include crude oil pipelines, natural gas pipelines and related assets. We will depreciate these assets on a straight line basis over estimated useful lives ranging from 2 to 35 years depending on the nature of each asset.
Intangible assets identified in connection with our valuation and preliminary purchase price allocation relate to customer contracts surrounding certain transportation agreements with producers in the Lucius production area in Southeast Keathley Canyon, which support our SEKCO pipeline. We will amortize these intangible assets on a straight line basis over an estimated useful life of 19 years.
In connection with our valuation and preliminary purchase price allocation, we have identified asset retirement obligations ("AROs") relating to the crude oil pipelines, natural gas pipelines and related assets with a preliminary fair value of $158.1 million. Of these AROs, $7.7 million of retirement costs are estimated to be incurred within the next year and thus are included in accrued liabilities in the table above, as well as on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The remainder of the AROs recorded as a result of the Enterprise acquisition are included within "Other long-term liabilities" in the table above, as well as on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. See further discussion of AROs assumed as a result of the Enterprise acquisition in Note 5. Noncontrolling interest as shown in the able above relates to the preliminary fair value assigned to the 20% ownership interest of our joint venture partner in Independence Hub, LLC, a consolidated subsidiary acquired as a result of the Enterprise acquisition in which we have an 80% ownership interest.
Our Consolidated Financial Statements include the results of our acquired offshore pipeline transportation business since July 24, 2015, the effective closing date of the acquisition. The following table presents selected financial information included in our Consolidated Financial Statements for the periods presented:

As relating to the Enterprise acquisition, we have incurred approximately $13 million in acquisition related costs through September 30, 2015. Such costs are included as "General and Administrative costs" on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.
M/T American Phoenix
On November 13, 2014, we acquired the M/T American Phoenix from Mid Ocean Tanker Company for $157 million. The M/T American Phoenix is a modern double-hulled, Jones Act qualified tanker with 330,000 barrels of cargo capacity that was placed into service during 2012.
The purchase price of $157 million was paid to Mid Ocean Tanker Company in cash, as funded with proceeds from available and committed liquidity under our $1.5 billion revolving credit facility. We have reflected the financial results of the acquired business in our marine transportation segment from the date of acquisition. We have recorded the assets acquired in the Consolidated Financial Statements at their fair values. Those fair values were developed by management.
The allocation of the purchase price, as presented on our Consolidated Balance Sheet, is summarized as follows:
|
| | | |
Property and equipment | $ | 125,000 |
|
Intangible assets | 32,000 |
|
Total purchase price | $ | 157,000 |

Asset Retirement Obligations
We record AROs in connection with legal requirements to perform specified retirement activities under contractual arrangements and/or governmental regulations. As a result of the Enterprise acquisition of the offshore pipeline and services business of Enterprise Products Partners, L.P. on July 24, 2015, we recorded AROs based on the fair value measurement assigned during the preliminary purchase price allocation.
The following table presents information regarding our AROs since December 31, 2014:
|
| | | |
ARO liability balance, December 31, 2014 | $ | 14,790 |
|

Of the ARO balances disclosed above, $7.7 million is included as current in "Accrued liabilities" on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet, as of September 30, 2015. The remainder of the ARO liability as of September 30, 2015, as well as ARO liability as of December 31, 2014, are included in "Other long-term liabilities" on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.
With respect to our AROs, the following table presents our forecast of accretion expense for the periods indicated:

Certain of our unconsolidated affiliates have AROs recorded at September 30, 2015 relating to contractual agreements and regulatory requirements. These amounts are immaterial to our Consolidated Financial Statements.
6. Equity Investees
We account for our ownership in our joint ventures under the equity method of accounting. The price we pay to acquire an ownership interest in a company may exceed the underlying book value of the capital accounts we acquire. Such excess cost amounts are included within the carrying values of our equity investees. At September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the unamortized excess cost amounts totaled $419.6 million and $215.4 million, respectively. We amortize the excess cost as a reduction in equity earnings in a manner similar to depreciation.
As part of the Enterprise acquisition, we increased our ownership interest in each of Cameron Highway Oil Pipeline Company ("CHOPS") and Southeast Keathley Canyon Pipeline Company, LLC ("SEKCO") from 50% to 100%. Consequently, these entities were reflected as equity investees until July 24, 2015, at which point they became fully consolidated wholly owned subsidiaries.
Also, as part of the Enterprise acquisition, our ownership interest in Poseidon Oil Pipeline Company, LLC ("Poseidon") increased from 28% to 64%. We also acquired a 50% ownership interest in Deepwater Gateway, LLC and a 25.7% interest in Neptune Pipeline Company, LLC. These additional interests are accounted for as equity investments from the acquisition date of July 24, 2015.

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

Senior Secured Credit Facility
The Enterprise acquisition meaningfully expanded our size and is expected to improve our credit metrics over the longer-term, which we believe should help accelerate an increase in our credit ratings in the future. In connection with our expanded size and improved credit outlook, we amended our senior secured credit facility (which matures on July 28, 2019) in the third quarter of 2015 to, among other things, (i) increase our committed amount to $1.5 billion, (ii) provide that, if and when we achieve specified investment grade ratings, certain restrictive covenants will cease to apply and the applicable margin for both alternate base rate and Eurodollar loans and the commitment fee on the unused committed amount will be reduced by specified amounts, (iii) immediately provide us more operational flexibility by relaxing certain covenants, including by increasing certain applicable limits and baskets, and (iv) increase the inventory financing sublimit amount, which is designed to allow us to more efficiently finance crude oil and petroleum products inventory in the normal course of our operations by allowing us to exclude the amount of inventory loans from our total outstanding indebtedness for purposes of determining our applicable interest rate, from $150 million to $200 million.
The key terms for rates under our $1.5 billion senior secured credit facility, which are dependent on our leverage ratio (as defined in the credit agreement), are as follows:
•The applicable margin varies from 1.50% to 2.50% on Eurodollar borrowings and from 0.50% to 1.50% on alternate base rate borrowings.
•Letter of credit fees range from 1.50% to 2.50%
•The commitment fee on the unused committed amount will range from 0.250% to 0.375%.
•The accordion feature is $500 million, giving us the ability to expand the size of the facility up to $2.0 billion for acquisitions or growth projects, subject to lender consent.
At September 30, 2015, we had $1.0 billion borrowed under our $1.5 billion credit facility, with $34.5 million of the borrowed amount designated as a loan under the inventory sublimit. Our credit agreement allows up to $100 million of the capacity to be used for letters of credit, of which $16.6 million was outstanding at September 30, 2015. Due to the revolving nature of loans under our credit facility, additional borrowings and periodic repayments and re-borrowings may be made until the maturity date. The total amount available for borrowings under our credit facility at September 30, 2015 was $469.3 million.
On September 17, 2015, we amended our $1.5 billion credit agreement which provides that, if and when we achieve specified investment grade ratings, certain restrictive covenants will cease to apply and the applicable margin for both alternate base rate and Eurodollar loans and the commitment fee on the unused committed amount will be reduced by specified amounts. The amendment also increases the inventory financing sublimit amount from $150 million to $200 million.
Senior Unsecured Note Issuance and Repayment
On July 23, 2015, we issued $750 million in aggregate principal amount of 6.75% senior unsecured notes due 2022. Interest payments are due on February 1 and August 1 of each year with the initial interest payment due February 1, 2016. Those notes mature on August 1, 2022. That issuance generated net proceeds of $728.6 million net of issuance discount and underwriting fees. The net proceeds were used to fund a portion of the purchase price for our Enterprise acquisition.
On May 21, 2015, we issued $400 million in aggregate principal amount of 6.0% senior unsecured notes due 2023. Interest payments are due on May 15 and November 15 of each year with the initial interest payment due November 15, 2015. Those notes mature on May 15, 2023. We used a portion of the proceeds from those notes to effectively redeem all of our outstanding $350 million, 7.875% senior unsecured notes due 2018, using a combination of public tender offer and our redemption rights relating to those notes. The aggregate principal amount of the 7.875% notes totaling $300.1 million were tendered and the remaining $49.9 million were redeemed in full. A total loss of approximately $19.2 million for the tender and redemption of notes is recorded to "Other income/(expense), net" in our Consolidated Statements of Operations.
9. Partners’ Capital and Distributions
At September 30, 2015, our outstanding common units consisted of 109,939,221 Class A units and 39,997 Class B units.
On July 22, 2015, we issued 10,350,000 Class A common units in a public offering at a price of $43.77 per unit, which included the exercise by the underwriters of an option to purchase up to 1,350,000 additional common units from us. We received proceeds, net of underwriting discounts and offering costs, of approximately $437.2 million from that offering. We used the net proceeds to fund a portion of the purchase price for our Enterprise acquisition.

10. Business Segment Information
In the fourth quarter of 2014, we reorganized our operating segments as a result of a change in the way our Chief Executive Officer, who is our chief operating decision maker, evaluates the performance of operations, develops strategy and allocates resources. The results of our marine transportation activities, formerly reported in the Supply and Logistics Segment, are now reported in our Marine Transportation Segment. In addition, the results of our offshore and onshore pipeline transportation activities, formerly reported in the Pipeline Transportation Segment, are now reported separately in our Onshore Pipeline Transportation Segment and Offshore Pipeline Transportation Segment. Our disclosures related to prior periods have been recast to reflect our reorganized segments.
As a result of the above changes, we currently manage our businesses through five divisions that constitute our reportable segments:
| |
• | Onshore Pipeline Transportation – transportation of crude oil, and to a lesser extent, CO2; |
| |
• | Offshore Pipeline Transportation – offshore pipeline transportation and processing of crude oil and natural gas in the Gulf of Mexico; |
| |
• | Refinery Services – processing high sulfur (or “sour”) gas streams as part of refining operations to remove the sulfur and selling the related by-product, NaHS; |
| |
• | Marine Transportation – marine transportation to provide waterborne transportation of petroleum products and crude oil throughout North America; and |
| |
• | Supply and Logistics – terminaling, blending, storing, marketing and transporting crude oil and petroleum products (primarily fuel oil, asphalt, and other heavy refined products) and, on a smaller scale, CO2. |
Substantially all of our revenues are derived from, and substantially all of our assets are located in, the United States.
We define Segment Margin as revenues less product costs, operating expenses (excluding non-cash gains and charges, such as depreciation and amortization), and segment general and administrative expenses, plus our equity in distributable cash generated by our equity investees. In addition, our Segment Margin definition excludes the non-cash effects of our legacy stock appreciation rights plan and includes the non-income portion of payments received under direct financing leases.
Our chief operating decision maker (our Chief Executive Officer) evaluates segment performance based on a variety of measures including Segment Margin, segment volumes, where relevant, and capital investment.

Transactions with Unconsolidated Affiliates
Poseidon
As part of our Enterprise acquisition, we became the operator of Poseidon in the third quarter of 2015. We provide management, administrative and pipeline operator services to Poseidon under an Operation and Management Agreement . Currently, that agreement renews automatically annually unless terminated by either party (as defined in the agreement). Our revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 reflect $2 million, respectively, of fees we earned through the provision of services under that agreement.
Deepwater Gateway
As part of our Enterprise acquisition, we became the operator of Deepwater Gateway in the third quarter of 2015. We provide technical and administrative services to Deepwater Gateway under a Management Services Agreement. That agreement continues indefinitely until either party decides to exercise their termination rights (as defined in the agreement). Our revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 reflect less than $0.1 million, respectively, of fees we earned through the provision of services under that agreement.

Payments of interest and commitment fees, net of amounts capitalized, were $56.8 million and $46.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014, respectively. We capitalized interest of $11.9 million and $11.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014.
At September 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014, we had incurred liabilities for fixed and intangible asset additions totaling $50.2 million and $61.2 million, respectively, that had not been paid at the end of the third quarter, and, therefore, were not included in the caption “Payments to acquire fixed and intangible assets” under Cash Flows from Investing Activities in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
At September 30, 2015 we had incurred liabilities for other asset additions totaling $0.1 million, that had not been paid at the end of the third quarter and, therefore, were not included in the caption "Other, net" under Cash Flows from Investing Activities in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
During the three months ended September 30, 2015, as a result of the Enterprise acquisition, we acquired the 50% ownership interest in each of CHOPS and SEKCO as previously held by Enterprise, resulting in 100% ownership interest by us in each of these subsidiaries. As a result, we recorded a one time $335 million non-cash gain from the step up in basis in our historical 50% ownership interest in each of CHOPS and SEKCO to fair value (resulting from the fair value assigned to the 50% ownership interest in each of CHOPS and SEKCO that we acquired from Enterprise, as derived from the preliminary purchase price allocation). This also results in the consolidation of CHOPS and SEKCO by us, resulting in the inclusion of the operating assets and liabilities on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. As 50% of the operating assets and liabilities of CHOPS and SEKCO were based on our historical interest with no cash impact, these amounts relating to our historical interest were not included in net changes in components of operating assets and liabilities in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

13. Derivatives
Commodity Derivatives
We have exposure to commodity price changes related to our inventory and purchase commitments. We utilize derivative instruments (primarily futures and options contracts traded on the NYMEX) to hedge our exposure to commodity prices, primarily of crude oil, fuel oil and petroleum products. Our decision as to whether to designate derivative instruments as fair value hedges for accounting purposes relates to our expectations of the length of time we expect to have the commodity price exposure and our expectations as to whether the derivative contract will qualify as highly effective under accounting guidance in limiting our exposure to commodity price risk. Most of the petroleum products, including fuel oil that we supply, cannot be hedged with a high degree of effectiveness with derivative contracts available on the NYMEX; therefore, we do not designate derivative contracts utilized to limit our price risk related to these products as hedges for accounting purposes. Typically we utilize crude oil and other petroleum products futures and option contracts to limit our exposure to the effect of fluctuations in petroleum products prices on the future sale of our inventory or commitments to purchase petroleum products, and we recognize any changes in fair value of the derivative contracts as increases or decreases in our cost of sales. The recognition of changes in fair value of the derivative contracts not designated as hedges for accounting purposes can occur in reporting periods that do not coincide with the recognition of gain or loss on the actual transaction being hedged. Therefore we will, on occasion, report gains or losses in one period that will be partially offset by gains or losses in a future period when the hedged transaction is completed.
We have designated certain crude oil futures contracts as hedges of crude oil inventory due to our expectation that these contracts will be highly effective in hedging our exposure to fluctuations in crude oil prices during the period that we expect to hold that inventory. We account for these derivative instruments as fair value hedges under the accounting guidance. Changes in the fair value of these derivative instruments designated as fair value hedges are used to offset related changes in the fair value of the hedged crude oil inventory. Any hedge ineffectiveness in these fair value hedges and any amounts excluded from effectiveness testing are recorded as a gain or loss in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
In accordance with NYMEX requirements, we fund the margin associated with our loss positions on commodity derivative contracts traded on the NYMEX. The amount of the margin is adjusted daily based on the fair value of the commodity contracts. The margin requirements are intended to mitigate a party's exposure to market volatility and the associated contracting party risk. We offset fair value amounts recorded for our NYMEX derivative contracts against margin funding as required by the NYMEX in Current Assets - Other in our Consolidated Balance Sheets.
At September 30, 2015, we had the following outstanding derivative commodity contracts that were entered into to economically hedge inventory or fixed price purchase commitments.

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

Our accounting policy is to offset derivative assets and liabilities executed with the same counterparty when a master netting arrangement exists. Accordingly, we also offset derivative assets and liabilities with amounts associated with cash margin. Our exchange-traded derivatives are transacted through brokerage accounts and are subject to margin requirements as established by the respective exchange. On a daily basis, our account equity (consisting of the sum of our cash balance and the fair value of our open derivatives) is compared to our initial margin requirement resulting in the payment or return of variation margin. As of September 30, 2015, we had a net broker receivable of approximately $4.9 million (consisting of initial margin of $4.9 million and unaffected by variation margin). As of December 31, 2014, we had a net broker receivable of approximately $2.8 million (consisting of initial margin of $2.4 million increased by $0.3 million of variation margin). At September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, none of our outstanding derivatives contained credit-risk related contingent features that would result in a material adverse impact to us upon any change in our credit ratings.

14. Fair-Value Measurements
We classify financial assets and liabilities into the following three levels based on the inputs used to measure fair value:
| |
(1) | Level 1 fair values are based on observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities; |
| |
(2) | Level 2 fair values are based on pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities and are either directly or indirectly observable as of the measurement date; and |
| |
(3) | Level 3 fair values are based on unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists. |
As required by fair value accounting guidance, financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value requires judgment and may affect the placement of assets and liabilities within the fair value hierarchy levels.
The following table sets forth by level within the fair value hierarchy our financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

Our commodity derivatives include exchange-traded futures and exchange-traded options contracts. The fair value of these exchange-traded derivative contracts is based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets and is, therefore, included in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
See Note 13 for additional information on our derivative instruments. Other Fair Value Measurements
We believe the debt outstanding under our credit facility approximates fair value as the stated rate of interest approximates current market rates of interest for similar instruments with comparable maturities. At September 30, 2015 our senior unsecured notes had a carrying value of $1.8 billion and a fair value of $1.7 billion, compared to $1.1 billion and $1.0 billion, respectively, at December 31, 2014. The fair value of the senior unsecured notes is determined based on trade information in the financial markets of our public debt and is considered a Level 2 fair value measurement.
Additionally, we recorded the estimated fair value of net assets acquired and liabilities assumed in connection with the Enterprise acquisition as of the acquisition date of July 24, 2015. The fair value measurements were primarily based on significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) developed using company-specific information. See Note 3 for further information associated with the values recorded in the Enterprise acquisition.
GENESIS ENERGY, L.P.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Additionally, the fair value measurements, using unobservable (Level 3) inputs, used in recording the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired and liabilities assumed of CHOPS and SEKCO (which we now own 100% interest in and consolidate given the respective 50% ownership interest acquired from Enterprise for each of these subsidiaries) as a result of the Enterprise acquisition were used to calculate the effects of the re-measurement of our pre-acquisition historical interest in CHOPS and SEKCO at fair value, based on accounting guidance involving step acquisitions as discussed in ASC 805-10-25.
15. Contingencies
We are subject to various environmental laws and regulations. Policies and procedures are in place to aid in monitoring compliance and detecting and addressing releases of crude oil from our pipelines or other facilities; however, no assurance can be made that such environmental releases may not substantially affect our business.
We are subject to lawsuits in the normal course of business and examination by tax and other regulatory authorities. We do not expect such matters presently pending to have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
16. Condensed Consolidating Financial Information
Our $1.9 billion aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes co-issued by Genesis Energy, L.P. and Genesis Energy Finance Corporation are fully and unconditionally guaranteed jointly and severally by all of Genesis Energy, L.P.’s current and future 100% owned domestic subsidiaries, except Genesis Free State Pipeline, LLC, Genesis NEJD Pipeline, LLC and certain other minor subsidiaries. Genesis NEJD Pipeline, LLC is 100% owned by Genesis Energy, L.P., the parent company. The remaining non-guarantor subsidiaries are owned by Genesis Crude Oil, L.P., a guarantor subsidiary. Genesis Energy Finance Corporation has no independent assets or operations. See Note 8 for additional information regarding our consolidated debt obligations. During the second quarter of 2015, the Company took action related to certain non-guarantor subsidiaries that resulted in these subsidiaries previously categorized as non-guarantor subsidiaries becoming wholly owned guarantor subsidiaries. The changes made to guarantor subsidiaries did not impact the Company's previously reported consolidated net operating results, financial position, or cash flows. The condensed consolidating balance sheet as of December 31, 2014 and the condensed consolidating statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 as well as the condensed consolidating statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 have been retrospectively adjusted to reflect these updates to our guarantor subsidiaries as though the subsidiaries had been guarantors in all periods presented.
During the third quarter of 2015, the Company determined the need to revise its disclosures and presentation with respect to the Condensed Consolidating Financial Information included in this footnote. These revisions relate solely to transactions between Genesis Energy, L.P. and its subsidiaries and only impact the information that is presented in the Condensed Consolidating Financial Information presented herein and does not affect the Consolidated Financial Statements in any way. The Company determined that adjustments to the presentation relating to advances to and from affiliates was necessary and were made. As such, the condensed consolidating balance sheet as of December 31, 2014 was adjusted to present advances to and from subsidiaries as non-current assets and liabilities. This resulted in the reclassification of such advances from current assets and liabilities to long term assets and liabilities. The condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 has also been adjusted to reflect these changes. There is also a schedule below that reflects all these adjustments and reconciles from what has been disclosed in previous filings to what we represent in the financial statements below.
The following is condensed consolidating financial information for Genesis Energy, L.P., the guarantor subsidiaries and the non-guarantor subsidiaries.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following information should be read in conjunction with our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The following information and such Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should also be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and related notes, together with our discussion and analysis of financial position and results of operations, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, as amended and superseded in part in Genesis' Current Report on Form 8-K filed on July 2, 2015.
Included in Management’s Discussion and Analysis are the following sections:
| |
• | Segment Reporting Change |
| |
• | Liquidity and Capital Resources |
| |
• | Commitments and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements |
| |
• | Forward Looking Statements |
Overview
We reported Net Income Attributable to Genesis Energy, L.P. of $363.2 million, or $3.38 per common unit, during the three months ended September 30, 2015 (“2015 Quarter”) compared to net income of $29.1 million or $0.33 per common unit, during the three months ended September 30, 2014 (“2014 Quarter”). The large increase in our net income was principally due to the $335.3 million non-cash gain we recognized during the 2015 quarter resulting from a step up in basis to fair value of our historical interests in certain of our equity investees (CHOPS and SEKCO) as a result of our acquiring the remaining interest in those equity investees when we completed our Enterprise acquisition on July 24, 2015. A more detailed discussion of that acquisition is included below and a more detailed discussion of our related non-cash gain is included in the "Other Costs" section.
Available Cash before Reserves was $96.3 million for the 2015 Quarter, an increase of $35.5 million, or 58%, from the 2014 Quarter. See “Financial Measures” below for additional information on Available Cash before Reserves.
Segment Margin (as described below in “Financial Measures”) was $140.7 million for the 2015 Quarter, an increase of $45.9 million, or 48%, from the 2014 Quarter.
The increase in our Segment Margin resulted primarily from increases attributable to our offshore pipeline transportation segment of $49.3 million. This increase is primarily related to assets recently acquired as part of our Enterprise acquisition. Those acquisitions similarly benefited Available Cash before Reserves and net income.
A more detailed discussion of our segment results and other costs is included below in “Results of Operations”.
Distribution Increase
In October 2015, we declared our forty-first consecutive increase in our quarterly distribution to our common unitholders. Thirty-six of those quarterly increases have been 10% or greater as compared to the same quarter in the preceding year. In November 2015, we will pay a distribution of $0.64 per unit representing a 10.3% increase from our distribution of $0.58 per unit related to the third quarter of 2014.
Acquisition of Offshore Pipelines and Services Business of Enterprise Products Partners, L.P.
On July 24, 2015, we acquired the offshore pipeline and services business of Enterprise Products Partners, L.P. and its affiliates for approximately $1.5 billion, subject to certain adjustments. That business includes interests in approximately 2,350 miles of offshore crude oil and natural gas pipelines and six offshore hub platforms that serve some of the most active drilling and development regions in the United States, including deepwater production fields in the Gulf of Mexico offshore Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama. At the closing of that transaction, we entered into transition service agreements to facilitate a smooth transition of operations and uninterrupted services for both employees and customers. That acquisition complements and substantially expands our existing offshore pipelines segment and has been immediately accretive to Segment Margin and Available Cash before Reserves in the 2015 Quarter.
To finance that transaction, in July, we issued 10,350,000 common units in a public offering that generated proceeds of $437.2 million net of underwriter discounts and $750 million aggregate principal amount of 6.75% senior unsecured notes due 2022 that generated proceeds of $728.6 million net of issuance discount and underwriting fees. The remainder of that transaction was financed with borrowings under our senior secured credit facility.
Segment Reporting Change
In the fourth quarter of 2014, we reorganized our operating segments as a result of a change in the way our Chief Executive Officer, who is our chief operating decision maker, evaluates the performance of operations, develops strategy and allocates resources. The results of our marine transportation activities, formerly reported in the Supply and Logistics Segment, are now reported in our Marine Transportation Segment. In addition, the results of our offshore and onshore pipeline transportation activities, formerly reported in the Pipeline Transportation Segment, are now reported separately in our Onshore Pipeline Transportation Segment and our Offshore Pipeline Transportation Segment.
As a result of the above changes, we currently manage our businesses through five divisions that constitute our reportable segments - Onshore Pipeline Transportation, Offshore Pipeline Transportation, Refinery Services, Marine Transportation and Supply and Logistics. Our disclosures related to prior periods have been recast to reflect our reorganized segments.

Results of Operations
Revenues and Costs and Expenses
Our revenues for the 2015 Quarter decreased $391.8 million, or 41%, from the 2014 Quarter. Additionally, our costs and expenses decreased $401.3 million, or 43%, between the two periods.
The substantial majority of our revenues and costs are derived from the purchase and sale of crude oil and petroleum products. The significant decrease in our revenues and costs between the two third quarter periods is primarily attributable to a decrease in market prices for crude oil and petroleum products as described below.
The average closing prices for West Texas Intermediate ("WTI") crude oil on the New York Mercantile Exchange ("NYMEX") decreased 52% to $46.43 per barrel in the third quarter of 2015, as compared to $97.17 per barrel in the third quarter of 2014.
In general, we do not expect fluctuations in prices for oil and gas to affect our Segment Margin to the same extent they affect our revenues and costs. We have limited our direct commodity price exposure through the broad use of fee based service contracts, back-to-back purchase and sale arrangements, and hedges. As a result, changes in the price of oil would similarly impact both our revenues and our costs with a disproportionate smaller net impact on our Segment Margin.
Our indirect exposure to the impacts of changes in the price of crude oil are mitigated by our strategy of focusing on customers whose operations tend to be less adversely affected by decreases in the price of crude oil. These customers are refiners and other onshore customers who operate further down the energy value chain (as opposed to producers). Our crude oil pipelines in the Gulf of Mexico represent the single largest departure from our “refinery-centric” customer strategy. The shippers on those pipelines are mostly integrated and large independent energy companies who have developed, and continue to explore for, numerous large-reservoir, long-lived crude oil properties whose production is ideally suited for the vast majority of refineries along the Gulf Coast, unlike the lighter crude oil and condensates produced from numerous onshore shale plays. Those large-reservoir properties and the related pipelines and other infrastructure needed to develop them are capital intensive and yet, we believe, economically viable, in most cases, even in this lower commodity price environment.

Our reconciliation of Segment Margin to net income reflects that Segment Margin (as defined above) excludes corporate general and administrative expenses, non-cash gains and charges, depreciation and amortization, interest expense, certain non-cash items, the most significant of which are the non-cash gain on step-up of historical basis in existing assets for which additional interest have been acquired, the non-cash effects of our stock appreciation rights plan and unrealized gains and losses on derivative transactions not designated as hedges for accounting purposes. Items in Segment Margin not included in net income are distributable cash from equity investees in excess of equity in earnings (or losses) and cash payments from direct financing leases in excess of earnings.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2015 Compared with Three Months Ended September 30, 2014
Onshore Pipeline Transportation Segment Margin for the 2015 Quarter decreased $0.4 million, or 2%. Certain significant components and details of this change were as follows:
| |
• | Onshore crude oil pipeline loss allowance volumes, collected and sold, resulted in a decrease in segment margin quarter over quarter of $1.2 million. This decrease is primarily due to the change in the market price of crude oil between the respective periods. Due to the nature of our tariffs on the Louisiana system, we do not collect or sell pipeline loss allowance volumes on that system. |
| |
• | With respect to our onshore crude oil pipelines, tariff revenues increased by $1.2 million quarter to quarter, primarily due to a net increase in throughput volumes of 32,168 barrels per day or 27%. This was primarily the result of increased volumes on our Texas and Louisiana pipeline systems. These increases were partially offset by volume variances on our other onshore pipeline systems. Due to a mix of tariff rates on our onshore pipelines, the impact on onshore crude oil tariffs and revenues from these volume variances was an increase of 11%. As our Baton Rouge growth projects become completed and operational, we anticipate a continued ramp up in volumes on our Louisiana pipeline system in future periods. |
| |
• | This increase in pipeline tariff revenues was partially offset by an increase in operating costs, which include the effects of a $0.8 million charge due to an as yet unresolved measurement imbalance. |
| |
• | Although volumes on our Free State CO2 pipeline system increased 1,359 Mcf per day, or 1%, in the 2015 Quarter as compared to the 2014 Quarter, that increase did not materially affect contributions to Segment Margin by that pipeline. We provide transportation services on our Free State CO2 pipeline system through an “incentive” tariff which provides that the average rate per Mcf that we charge during any month decreases as our aggregate throughput for that month increases above specific thresholds. As a result of this "incentive" tariff, fluctuations in volumes above a base level on our Free State CO2 pipeline system have a limited impact on Segment Margin. |
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2015 Compared with Nine Months Ended September 30, 2014
Onshore Pipeline Transportation Segment Margin for the first nine months of 2015 decreased $2.9 million, or 6%. Certain significant components and details of this change were as follows:
| |
• | Onshore crude oil pipeline loss allowance volumes, collected and sold, resulted in a decrease in segment margin quarter over quarter of $3.5 million. This decrease is primarily due to the change in the market price of crude oil between the respective periods. Due to the nature of our tariffs on the Louisiana system, we do not collect or sell pipeline loss allowance volumes on that system. |
| |
• | With respect to our onshore crude oil pipelines, tariff revenues increased by $0.8 million period to period, due to an overall net increase in throughput volumes of 27,611 barrels per day, which was primarily the result of increased volumes on our Texas and Louisiana pipeline systems. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in volumes on our Jay pipeline system, which is primarily attributable to a decrease in volumes entering the pipeline through our Walnut Hill rail facility. Due to a mix of tariff rates on our onshore pipelines, the impact on onshore crude oil tariffs and revenues from these volume variances largely offset each other. |
| |
• | Although volumes on our Free State CO2 pipeline system decreased 3,583 Mcf per day, or 2%, in the first nine months of 2015 as compared to the first nine months of 2014, that decrease did not materially affect contributions to Segment Margin by that pipeline. We provide transportation services on our Free State CO2 pipeline system through an “incentive” tariff which provides that the average rate per Mcf that we charge during any month decreases as our aggregate throughput for that month increases above specific thresholds. As a result of this "incentive" tariff, fluctuations in volumes above a base level on our Free State CO2 pipeline system have a limited impact on Segment Margin. |

Three Months Ended September 30, 2015 Compared with Three Months Ended September 30, 2014
Offshore Pipeline Transportation Segment Margin for the 2015 Quarter increased $49.3 million, or 227%, from the 2014 Quarter. This increase is primarily due to the Enterprise acquisition, which closed in July 2015. As a result of the Enterprise acquisition we obtained approximately 2,350 miles of additional offshore natural gas and crude oil pipelines, including increasing our ownership interest in each of the Poseidon, SEKCO, and CHOPS pipelines, and six offshore hub platforms.
In addition, a portion of the increase in our Segment Margin is attributable to the SEKCO pipeline being completed and earning certain minimum fees and commencing throughput of crude in January 2015. For a portion of the 2015 Quarter, SEKCO pipeline's throughput exceeded its shippers' minimum volume commitments. Also, as a result of the Enterprise acquisition, our ownership interest in the SEKCO pipeline increased from 50% to 100% in the 2015 Quarter. Our SEKCO pipeline is connected to our Poseidon pipeline (of which we now own a 64% interest in as a result of our Enterprise acquisition, an increase from our historical 28% interest), so increases in throughput on our SEKCO pipeline also increases throughput on our Poseidon pipeline.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2015 Compared with Nine Months Ended September 30, 2014
Offshore Pipeline Transportation Segment Margin for the first nine months of 2015 increased $74.7 million, or 161%, from the first nine months of 2014. This increase is primarily due to the Enterprise acquisition, which closed in July 2015. As a result of the Enterprise acquisition we obtained approximately 2,350 miles of additional offshore natural gas and crude oil pipelines, including increasing our ownership interest in each of the Poseidon, SEKCO, and CHOPS pipelines, and six offshore hub platforms.

• | NaHS revenues decreased 17% due primarily to a decrease in volumes. That decrease primarily resulted from lower total volumes than the 2014 Quarter attributable to the bankruptcy of one mining customer and reduced sales to a major customer as they work through an atypical ore seam as a result of a landslide, coupled with increased prior year volumes generated from heavy turn around schedules at certain customers. |
| |
• | We were able to realize benefits from our favorable management of the purchasing (including economies of scale) and utilization of caustic soda in our (and our customers') operations and our logistics management capabilities, which somewhat offset the effects on Segment Margin of decreased NaHS sales volumes. |
| |
• | Caustic soda revenues decreased 8% primarily due to a decrease in our sales price for caustic soda. Although caustic sales volumes may fluctuate, the contribution to Segment Margin from these sales is not a significant portion of our refinery services activities. |
| |
• | Average index prices for caustic soda decreased to $563 per DST in the 2015 Quarter compared to $588 per DST during the 2014 Quarter. Those price movements affect the revenues and costs related to our sulfur removal services as well as our caustic soda sales activities. However, generally, changes in caustic soda prices do not materially affect Segment Margin attributable to our sulfur processing services because we usually pass those costs through to our NaHS sales customers. Additionally, our bulk purchase and storage capabilities related to caustic soda allow us to somewhat mitigate the effects of changes in index prices for caustic soda on our operating costs. |
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2015 Compared with Nine Months Ended September 30, 2014
Refinery services Segment Margin for the first nine months of 2015 decreased $4.3 million, or 7%. Certain significant components and details of this change were as follows:
| |
• | NaHS revenues decreased 16% primarily due to a decrease in volumes. That decrease primarily resulted from lower total volumes than the 2014 Quarter attributable to the bankruptcy of one mining customer and reduced sales to a major customer as they work through an atypical ore seam as a result of a landslide, coupled with increased prior year volumes generated from heavy turn around schedules at certain customers. Additionally, |
timing of certain bulk deliveries to our South American customers was a factor in decreased volumes for the nine months ended between September 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014.
| |
• | We were able to realize benefits from our favorable management of the purchasing (including economies of scale) and utilization of caustic soda in our (and our customers') operations and our logistics management capabilities, which somewhat offset the effects on Segment Margin of decreased NaHS sales volumes. |
| |
• | Caustic soda revenues decreased 10% due to a reduction in our sales volumes, as well as a decrease in our sales price for caustic soda. Although caustic sales volumes may fluctuate, the contribution to Segment Margin from these sales is not a significant portion of our refinery services activities. |
| |
• | Average index prices for caustic soda decreased to $576 per DST in the first nine months of 2015 compared to $588 per DST during the first nine months of 2014. Those price movements affect the revenues and costs related to our sulfur removal services as well as our caustic soda sales activities. However, generally, changes in caustic soda prices do not materially affect Segment Margin attributable to our sulfur processing services because we usually pass those costs through to our NaHS sales customers. Additionally, our bulk purchase and storage capabilities related to caustic soda allow us to somewhat mitigate the effects of changes in index prices for caustic soda on our operating costs. |
Marine Transportation Segment
Within our marine transportation segment, we own a fleet of 71 barges (62 inland and 9 offshore) with a combined transportation capacity of 2.6 million barrels, 38 push/tow boats (29 inland and 9 offshore), and a 330,000 barrel ocean going tanker, the M/T American Phoenix.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2015 Compared with Three Months Ended September 30, 2014
Marine Transportation Segment Margin for the 2015 Quarter increased $4.5 million, or 20%, from the 2014 Quarter. This increase in Segment Margin in 2015 is primarily due to a full quarter of operating results from the M/T American Phoenix (included as part of our offshore marine fleet), which we acquired in November 2014, and higher realized contract rates on several of our oceangoing barges.
Utilization rates on both our inland and offshore barge fleets did not change significantly between the respective quarters. The decrease in operating costs, a large portion of which relate to fuel and other rebillable charges, was largely offset by the decrease in other rebill revenues.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2015 Compared with Nine Months Ended September 30, 2014
Marine Transportation Segment Margin for the first nine months of 2015 increased $18.0 million, or 29%, from the first nine months of 2014. This increase in Segment Margin in 2015 is primarily due to three full quarters of operating results from the M/T American Phoenix (included as part of our offshore marine fleet), which we acquired in November 2014, and higher realized contract rates on several of our oceangoing barges.
Utilization rates on both our inland and offshore barge fleets did not change significantly between the respective quarters. The decrease in operating costs, a large portion of which relate to fuel and other rebillable charges, was largely offset by the decrease in other rebill revenues.
Supply and Logistics Segment
Our supply and logistics segment is focused on utilizing our knowledge of the crude oil and petroleum markets to provide oil and gas producers, refineries and other customers with a full suite of services. Our supply and logistics segment owns or leases trucks, terminals, gathering pipelines, railcars, and rail loading and unloading facilities. It uses those assets, together with other modes of transportation owned by third parties and us, to service its customers and for its own account. These services include:
| |
• | utilizing the fleet of trucks, trailers and railcars owned or leased by our supply and logistics segment to transport products (primarily crude oil and petroleum products) for customers; |
| |
• | utilizing various modes of transportation owned by third parties and us to transport products (primarily crude oil and petroleum products) for our own account to take advantage of logistical opportunities primarily in the Gulf Coast states and waterways; |
| |
• | purchasing/selling and/or transporting crude oil from the wellhead to markets for ultimate use in refining; |
| |
• | supplying petroleum products (primarily fuel oil, asphalt and other heavy refined products) to wholesale markets; |
| |
• | purchasing products from refiners, transporting those products to one of our terminals and blending the products to a quality that meets the requirements of our customers and selling those products; |
| |
• | railcar loading and unloading activities at our crude-by-rail terminals; and |
| |
• | industrial gas activities, including wholesale marketing of CO2 and processing of syngas through a joint venture. |
We also use our terminal facilities to take advantage of contango market conditions, to gather and market crude oil, and to capitalize on regional opportunities which arise from time to time for both crude oil and petroleum products.
Despite crude oil being considered a somewhat homogeneous commodity, many refiners are very particular about the quality of crude oil feedstock they process. Many U.S. refineries have distinct configurations and product slates that require crude oil with specific characteristics, such as gravity and sulfur content, among others. Refineries evaluate the costs to obtain, transport and process their preferred feedstocks. That particularity provides us with opportunities to help refineries in our areas of operation identify crude oil sources meeting their requirements and to purchase the crude oil and transport it to refineries for sale. The imbalances and inefficiencies relative to meeting refiners’ requirements can provide opportunities for us to utilize our skills and assets to meet their demands. The pricing in the majority of our purchase contracts contains a market price component and a deduction to cover the cost of transporting the crude oil and to provide us with a margin. Contracts sometimes contain a grade differential which considers the composition of the crude oil and its appeal to different customers. Typically, the pricing in a contract to sell crude oil will consist of the market price components and the grade differentials. The margin on individual transactions is then dependent on our ability to manage our transportation costs and to capitalize on grade differentials.
In our petroleum products marketing operations, we supply primarily fuel oil, asphalt and other heavy refined products to wholesale markets. We also provide a service to refineries by purchasing “heavier” petroleum products that are the residual fuels from gasoline production, transporting them to one of our terminals and blending them to a quality that meets the requirements of our customers.
We utilize our fleet of trucks, trailers, railcars, and leased and owned storage capacity to service our crude oil and refining customers and to store and blend the intermediate and finished refined products.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2015 Compared with Three Months Ended September 30, 2014
Segment Margin for our supply and logistics segment decreased by $6.3 million, or 46%, between the two three month periods.
In the 2015 Quarter, the decrease in our Segment Margin is primarily due to lower demand, especially in our historical back-to-back, or buy/sell, crude oil marketing business associated with aggregating and trucking crude oil from producers' leases to local or regional re-sale points. We find it difficult to compete with certain persons in the market who are willing to lose money on such local gathering because they are attempting to minimize their losses from minimum volume or take-or-pay commitments they previously made in anticipation of new production that has not yet come online. We also incurred a $0.6 million charge to exit certain third-party tanks that we no longer needed to support our recently right-sized heavy fuel oil business. These decreases were somewhat offset by an increase in rail volumes at our Scenic Station rail terminal.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2015 Compared with Nine Months Ended September 30, 2014
Segment Margin for our supply and logistics segment decreased by $7.0 million, or 19%, between the first nine months of 2015 and the first nine months of 2014.
In the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the decrease in our Segment Margin is primarily due to lower demand, especially in our historical back-to-back, or buy/sell, crude oil marketing business associated with aggregating and trucking crude oil from producers' leases to local or regional re-sale points.

| | $ | 47,314 |
|
Net interest expense increased $9.2 million and $19.4 million between the three and nine month periods primarily due to an increase in our average outstanding indebtedness from recently acquired and constructed assets, primarily related to additional debt outstanding as a result of financing our Enterprise acquisition. In May 2014, we issued an additional $350 million of aggregate principal amount of 5.625% senior unsecured notes to repay borrowings under our senior secured credit facility. In July 2015, we issued an additional $750 million of aggregate principal amount of 6.75% senior unsecured notes to fund a portion of the purchase price for our Enterprise acquisition. Capitalized interest costs increased $3.2 million and $0.4 million over the three and nine month periods due to our growth capital expenditures for projects still under construction when compared to prior year period.
Income tax expense
A portion of our operations are owned by wholly-owned corporate subsidiaries that are taxable as corporations. As a result, a substantial portion of the income tax expense we record relates to the operations of those corporations, and will vary from period to period as a percentage of our income before taxes based on the percentage of our income or loss that is derived from those corporations. The balance of the income tax expense we record relates to state taxes imposed on our operations that are treated as income taxes under generally accepted accounting principles and foreign income taxes.
Other
Net income for the 2015 Quarter included an unrealized gain on derivative positions, excluding fair value hedges, of $1.2 million. Net income for the 2014 Quarter included an unrealized gain on derivative positions of $3.5 million. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 included an unrealized loss on derivative positions of $0.1 million. Net income for the same period in 2014 included an unrealized gain on derivative positions of $4.7 million. Those amounts are included in supply and logistics product costs in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and are not a component of Segment Margin.
As a result of acquiring the remaining 50% interest in CHOPS and SEKCO in the Enterprise acquisition, we recognized a $335.3 million gain during the 2015 Quarter relating to the effects of the re-measurement of our pre-acquisition historical interest (prior to the acquisition, Genesis owned 50% of each of CHOPS and SEKCO) at fair value based on accounting guidance involving step acquisitions as discussed in ASC 805-10-25. A more detailed discussion of our Enterprise acquisition is included below.
The nine months ended September 30, 2015 also includes a loss of approximately $19.2 million that was recognized in relation to the early retirement of our $350 million, 7.875% senior unsecured notes.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
General
As of September 30, 2015, we had $469.3 million of borrowing capacity available under our $1.5 billion senior secured revolving credit facility. We anticipate that our future internally-generated funds and the funds available under our credit facility will allow us to meet our ordinary course capital needs. Our primary sources of liquidity have been cash flows from operations, borrowing availability under our credit facility and the proceeds from issuances of equity and senior unsecured notes.
Our primary cash requirements consist of:
| |
• | working capital, primarily inventories and trade receivables and payables; |
| |
• | routine operating expenses; |
| |
• | capital growth and maintenance projects; |
| |
• | acquisitions of assets or businesses; |
| |
• | payments related to servicing outstanding debt; and |
| |
• | quarterly cash distributions to our unitholders. |
Acquisition of Enterprise Offshore Pipelines and Services Business
On July 24, 2015, we acquired the offshore pipeline and services business of Enterprise Products Partners, L.P. and its affiliates for approximately $1.5 billion, subject to certain adjustments. That business includes interests in approximately 2,350 miles of offshore crude oil and natural gas pipelines and six offshore hub platforms that serve some of the most active drilling and development regions in the United States, including deepwater production fields in the Gulf of Mexico offshore Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama. At the closing of that transaction, we entered into a transition service agreement with affiliates of Enterprise to facilitate a smooth transition of operations and uninterrupted services for both employees and customers. That acquisition complements and substantially expands our existing offshore pipelines segment and has been immediately accretive to Segment Margin and Available Cash before Reserves in the 2015 Quarter.
To finance that transaction, in July, we issued 10,350,000 common units in a public offering that generated proceeds of $437.2 million net of underwriter discounts and $750 million aggregate principal amount of 6.75% senior unsecured notes due 2022 that generated proceeds of $728.6 million net of issuance discount and underwriting fees.
Capital Resources
Our ability to satisfy future capital needs will depend on our ability to raise substantial amounts of additional capital from time to time — including through equity and debt offerings (public and private), borrowings under our credit facility and
other financing transactions—and to implement our growth strategy successfully. No assurance can be made that we will be able to raise additional capital on satisfactory terms or implement our growth strategy successfully.
On July 22, 2015, we issued 10,350,000 Class A common units in a public offering at a price of $43.77 per unit, which included the exercise by the underwriters of an option to purchase up to 1,350,000 additional common units from us. We received proceeds, net of underwriting discounts and offering costs, of approximately $437.2 million from that offering. We used the net proceeds to fund a portion of the purchase price for our Enterprise acquisition.
On April 10, 2015, we issued 4,600,000 Class A common units in a public offering at a price of $44.42 per unit, which included the exercise by the underwriters of an option to purchase up to 600,000 additional common units from us. We received proceeds, net of underwriting discounts and offering costs, of approximately $198 million from that offering. We used the net proceeds for general partnership purposes, including funding acquisitions (including organic growth projects) or repaying a portion of the borrowings outstanding under our revolving credit facility.
On July 23, 2015, we issued $750 million in aggregate principal amount of 6.75% senior unsecured notes due 2022. The net proceeds were used to fund a portion of the purchase price for our Enterprise acquisition. Those notes were issued at a discount which generated net proceeds of $728.6 million net of issuance discount and underwriting fees. Interest payments are due on February 1 and August 1 of each year with the initial interest payment due on February 1, 2016. Those notes mature on August 1, 2022.
On May 21, 2015, we issued $400 million in aggregate principal amount of 6.0% senior unsecured notes at face value. Interest payments are due on May 15 and November 15 of each year with the initial interest payment due November 15, 2015. Those notes mature on May 15, 2023. We used a portion of the proceeds from those notes to effectively redeem all of our outstanding $350 million, 7.875% senior unsecured notes due 2018, using a combination of a public tender offer and our redemption rights relating to those notes. We recognized a loss of approximately $19.2 million in conjunction therewith.
At September 30, 2015, long-term debt totaled $2.9 billion, consisting of $1,014.1 million outstanding under our credit facility (including $34.5 million borrowed under the inventory sublimit tranche), a $350 million carrying amount of senior unsecured notes due on February 15, 2021, a $400 million carrying amount of senior unsecured notes due on May 15, 2023, a $350 million carrying amount of senior unsecured notes due on June 15, 2024, and a $750 million carrying amount of senior unsecured notes due August 1, 2022.
Cash Flows from Operations
We generally utilize the cash flows we generate from our operations to fund our distributions and working capital needs. Excess funds that are generated are used to repay borrowings under our credit facility and/or to fund a portion of our capital expenditures. Our operating cash flows can be impacted by changes in items of working capital, primarily variances in the carrying amount of inventory and the timing of payment of accounts payable and accrued liabilities related to capital expenditures.
We typically sell our crude oil in the same month in which we purchase it, so we do not need to rely on borrowings under our credit facility to pay for such crude oil purchases, other than inventory. During such periods, our accounts receivable and accounts payable generally move in tandem, as we make payments and receive payments for the purchase and sale of crude oil.
In our petroleum products activities, we buy products, and typically either move the products to one of our storage facilities for further blending or we sell the products within days of our purchase. The cash requirements for these activities can result in short term increases and decreases in our borrowings under our credit facility.
The storage of crude oil and petroleum products can have a material impact on our cash flows from operating activities. In the month we pay for the stored oil or petroleum products, we borrow under our credit facility (or use cash on hand) to pay for the oil or petroleum products, utilizing a portion of our operating cash flows. Conversely, cash flow from operating activities increases during the period in which we collect the cash from the sale of the stored crude oil or petroleum products. Additionally, we may be required to deposit margin funds with the NYMEX when prices increase as the value of the derivatives utilized to hedge the price risk in our inventory fluctuates. These deposits also impact our operating cash flows as we borrow under our credit facility or use cash on hand to fund the deposits.
See Note 12 in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for information regarding changes in components of operating assets and liabilities for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014.
The decrease in operating cash flow for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the same period in 2014 was primarily due to increases in working capital needs. As discussed above, changes in the cash requirements related to payment for petroleum products or collection of receivables from the sale of inventory impact the cash provided by operating activities. Additionally, changes in the market prices for crude oil and petroleum products can result in fluctuations in our working capital and, therefore, our operating cash flows between periods as the cost to acquire a barrel of oil or petroleum products will require more or less cash. Net cash flows provided by our operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 were $192.1 million compared to $208.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.
Capital Expenditures and Distributions Paid to our Unitholders
We use cash primarily for our operating expenses, working capital needs, debt service, acquisition activities, organic growth projects and distributions we pay to our unitholders. We finance maintenance capital expenditures and smaller organic growth projects and distributions primarily with cash generated by our operations. We have historically funded material growth capital projects (including acquisitions and organic growth projects) with borrowings under our credit facility, equity issuances and/or the issuance of senior unsecured notes.

Expenditures for capital assets to grow the partnership distribution will depend on our access to debt and equity capital. We will look for opportunities to acquire assets from other parties that meet our criteria for stable cash flows.
Growth Capital Expenditures
Total capital expenditures on projects under construction are estimated to be approximately $900 million in 2015 and in future periods, inclusive of expenditures incurred through September 30, 2015. We anticipate that approximately $440 million of that total will be spent in 2015, inclusive of expenditures incurred through September 30, 2015. The most significant of these projects currently under construction are described below.
Houston Area Crude Oil Pipeline and Terminal Infrastructure
We are constructing new, and expanding existing, crude oil pipeline and terminal facilities in Webster, Texas and Texas City, Texas as a result of expanding our crude oil pipeline and terminal infrastructure in the Houston area. We will construct a new crude oil pipeline that will deliver crude oil received from upstream crude oil pipelines (including CHOPS, which delivers crude oil originating in the deepwater Gulf of Mexico to the Texas City area) to our new Texas City Terminal, which will ultimately connect to our existing 18-inch Webster to Texas City crude oil pipeline. Our new Texas City Terminal will include initially approximately 750,000 barrels of crude oil tankage. We will also expand storage capacity at our Webster, Texas Terminal to allow for up to an additional 750,000 barrels of crude oil tankage at Webster. Our Webster Terminal is connected to other crude oil pipelines servicing other Houston area refineries. As a part of this project, we are also making the necessary upgrades on our existing 18-inch Webster to Texas City crude oil pipeline to allow for bi-directional flow. The result of this expanded crude oil infrastructure will allow additional optionality to Houston and Baytown area refineries, including the Exxon-Mobil Baytown refinery, its largest refinery in the U.S.A., and provide additional delivery outlets for other crude oil pipelines. We expect these assets to become operational in the second half of 2016.
Wyoming Crude Oil Pipeline
In the third quarter of 2015, we completed construction of a new 60 mile crude oil pipeline to transport crude oil from new receipt point stations in Campbell County and Converse County, Wyoming to our existing Pronghorn Rail Facility. This new crude oil pipeline has an initial capacity of approximately 30,000 barrels per day and is supplied by truck volumes and third party gathering infrastructure in the Powder River Basin.
We are also constructing a new 75 mile pipeline from our Pronghorn Rail Facility to a delivery point at our new Guernsey Station in Platte County, Wyoming. This Pronghorn to Guernsey pipeline will have an initial capacity of approximately 45,000 barrels per day and will allow for connectivity to additional downstream pipeline markets at Guernsey, including regional refineries and Cushing, Oklahoma via the Pony Express Pipeline. We expect this pipeline to become operational in the first quarter of 2016.
Baton Rouge Terminal
We are constructing a new crude oil, intermediates and refined products import/export terminal in Baton Rouge that will be located near the Port of Greater Baton Rouge and will be pipeline-connected to that port's existing deepwater docks on the Mississippi River. We will initially construct approximately 1.1 million barrels of tankage for the storage of crude oil, intermediates and/or refined products with the capability to expand to provide additional terminaling services to our customers. In addition, we will construct a new pipeline from the terminal that will allow for deliveries to existing Exxon Mobil facilities in the area, as well as connect our previously constructed 17 mile line to the terminal allowing for receipts from the Scenic Station Rail Facility. Shippers to Scenic Station will have access to both the local Baton Rouge refining market, as well as the ability to access other attractive refining markets via our Baton Rouge Terminal. The Baton Rouge Terminal is expected to be operational in early 2016.
Raceland Rail Facility
The Raceland Rail Facility, a new crude oil unit train unloading facility capable of unloading up to two unit trains per day, which is located in Raceland, Louisiana, and will be connected to existing midstream infrastructure that will provide direct pipeline access to the Louisiana refining markets. It is expected to be operational in early 2016.
Inland Marine Barge Transportation Expansion
We ordered 20 new-build barges and 14 new-build push boats for our inland marine barge transportation fleet. We have accepted delivery of 8 of those barges and 2 of those push boats through December 31, 2014. We accepted delivery of 8 additional push boats in the first three quarters of 2015. We expect to take delivery of those remaining vessels periodically into 2016.
Acquisition of Enterprise Offshore Pipelines and Services Business
In July 2015, we acquired the offshore pipeline and services business of Enterprise Products Partners, L.P. and its affiliates for approximately $1.5 billion, subject to certain adjustments. That business includes interests in approximately 2,350 miles of offshore crude oil and natural gas pipelines and six offshore hub platforms that serve some of the most active drilling
and development regions in the United States, including deepwater production fields in the Gulf of Mexico offshore Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama. At the closing of that transaction, we entered into a transition service agreement with affiliates of Enterprise to facilitate a smooth transition of operations and uninterrupted services for both employees and customers. That acquisition complements and substantially expands our existing offshore pipelines segment and has been immediately accretive to Segment Margin and Available Cash before Reserves in the 2015 Quarter.
Maintenance Capital Expenditures
Our increase in maintenance capital expenditures for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 primarily relates to construction of new marine push boats to replace older boats. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015 we spent approximately $10 million on the construction of those replacement push boats. As we place more assets into service, particularly our marine transportation assets, our maintenance capital expenditures may continue to increase in future years. See further discussion under "Available Cash before Reserves" for how such maintenance capital utilization is reflected in our calculation of Available Cash before reserves.
Distributions to Unitholders
On November 13, 2015, we will pay a distribution of $0.64 per common unit totaling $70.4 million with respect to the third quarter of 2015 to common unitholders of record on October 30, 2015 inclusive of the holders of units issued on April 10, 2015, as well as those issued on July 22, 2015. This is the forty-first consecutive quarter in which we have increased our quarterly distribution. Information on our recent distribution history is included in Note 9 to our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Non- GAAP Financial Measures
General
To evaluate our business, we use certain financial measures ("non-GAAP" measures) that are not contemplated by or referenced in accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S., also referred to as GAAP. Our non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as an alternative to GAAP measures such as net income, operating income, cash flow from operating activities or any other GAAP measure of liquidity or financial performance. We believe that investors benefit from having access to the same financial measures being utilized by management, lenders, analysts and other market participants.
Our Non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies because such measures may include or exclude other specified items. The accompanying schedule below provides a reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure to its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure - income from continuing operations. Our non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered (i) as alternatives to GAAP measures of liquidity or financial performance or (ii) as being singularly important in any particular context; they should be considered in a broad context with other quantitative and qualitative information. Our Available Cash before Reserves measures is just one of the relevant data points considered from time to time.
When evaluating our performance and making decisions regarding our future direction and actions (including making discretionary payments, such as quarterly distributions) our board of directors and management team has access to a wide range of historical and forecasted qualitative and quantitative information, such as our financial statements; operational information; various non-GAAP measures; internal forecasts; credit metrics; analyst opinions; performance, liquidity and similar measures; income; cash flow; and expectations for us, and certain information regarding some of our peers. Additionally, our board of directors and management team analyze, and place different weight on, various factors from time to time. We believe that investors benefit from having access to the same financial measures being utilized by management, lenders, analysts and other market participants. We attempt to provide adequate information to allow each individual investor and other external user to reach her/his own conclusions regarding our actions without providing so much information as to overwhelm or confuse such investor or other external user.
Segment Margin
We define Segment Margin as revenues less product costs, operating expenses (excluding non-cash gains and charges, such as depreciation and amortization), and segment general and administrative expenses, plus our equity in distibutable cash generated by our equity investees. In addition, our Segment Margin definition excludes the non-cash effects of our legacy stock appreciation rights plan and includes the non-income portion of payments received under direct financing leases. Our chief operating decision maker (our Chief Executive Officer) evaluates segment performance based on a variety of measures including Segment Margin, segment volumes where relevant and capital investment.
A reconciliation of Segment Margin to net income is included in our segment disclosure in Note 10 to our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Available Cash before Reserves
Purposes, Uses and Definition
Available Cash before Reserves, also referred to as distributable cash flow, is a quantitative standard used throughout the investment community with respect to publicly-traded partnerships and is commonly used as a supplemental financial measure by management and by external users of financial statements such as investors, commercial banks, research analysts and rating agencies, to aid in assessing, among other things:
| |
(1) | the financial performance of our assets; |
| |
(2) | our operating performance; |
| |
(3) | the viability of potential projects, including our cash and overall return on alternative capital investments as compared to those of other companies in the midstream energy industry; |
| |
(4) | the ability of our assets to generate cash sufficient to satisfy certain non-discretionary cash requirements, including interest payments and certain maintenance capital requirements; and |
| |
(5) | our ability to make certain discretionary payments, such as distributions on our units, growth capital expenditures, certain maintenance capital expenditures and early payments of indebtedness. |
We define Available Cash before Reserves as net income as adjusted for specific items, the most significant of which are the addition of certain non-cash gains or charges (including depreciation and amortization), the substitution of distributable cash generated by our equity investees in lieu of our equity income attributable to our equity investees (includes distributions attributable to the quarter and received during or promptly following such quarter), the elimination of gains and losses on asset sales (except those from the sale of surplus assets), unrealized gains and losses on derivative transactions not designated as hedges for accounting purposes, the elimination of expenses related to acquiring or constructing assets that provide new sources of cash flows and the subtraction of maintenance capital utilized, which is described in detail below.
Recent Change in Circumstances and Disclosure Format
We have implemented a modified format relating to maintenance capital requirements because of our expectation that our future maintenance capital expenditures may change materially in nature (discretionary vs. non-discretionary), timing and amount from time to time. We believe that, without such modified disclosure, such changes in our maintenance capital expenditures could be confusing and potentially misleading to users of our financial information, particularly in the context of the nature and purposes of our Available Cash before Reserves measure. Our modified disclosure format provides those users with new information in the form of our maintenance capital utilized measure (which we deduct to arrive at Available Cash before Reserves). Our maintenance capital utilized measure constitutes a proxy for non-discretionary maintenance capital expenditures and it takes into consideration the relationship among maintenance capital expenditures, operating expenses and depreciation from period to period.
Maintenance Capital Requirements
MAINTENANCE CAPITAL EXPENDITURES
Maintenance capital expenditures are capitalized costs that are necessary to maintain the service capability of our existing assets, including the replacement of any system component or equipment which is worn out or obsolete. Maintenance capital expenditures can be discretionary or non-discretionary, depending on the facts and circumstances.
Historically, substantially all of our maintenance capital expenditures have been (a) related to our pipeline assets and similar infrastructure, (b) non-discretionary in nature and (c) immaterial in amount as compared to our Available Cash before Reserves measure. Those historical expenditures were non-discretionary (or mandatory) in nature because we had very little (if any) discretion as to whether or when we incurred them. We had to incur them in order to continue to operate the related pipelines in a safe and reliable manner and consistently with past practices. If we had not made those expenditures, we would not have been able to continue to operate all or portions of those pipelines, which would not have been economically feasible.
An example of a non-discretionary (or mandatory) maintenance capital expenditure would be replacing a segment of an old pipeline because one can no longer operate that pipeline safely, legally and/or economically in the absence of such replacement.
Prospectively, we believe a substantial amount of our maintenance capital expenditures from time to time will be (a) related to our assets other than pipelines, such as our marine vessels, trucks and similar assets, (b) discretionary in nature and (c) potentially material in amount as compared to our Available Cash before Reserves measure. Those future expenditures will be discretionary (or non-mandatory) in nature because we will have significant discretion as to whether or when we incur them. We will not be forced to incur them in order to continue to operate the related assets in a safe and reliable manner. If we chose not make those expenditures, we would be able to continue to operate those assets economically, although in lieu of maintenance capital expenditures, we would incur increased operating expenses, including maintenance expenses. An example of a discretionary (or non-mandatory) maintenance capital expenditure would be replacing an older marine vessel with a new marine vessel with substantially similar specifications, even though one could continue to economically operate the older vessel in spite of its increasing maintenance and other operating expenses.
In summary, as we continue to expand certain non-pipeline portions of our business, we are experiencing changes in the nature (discretionary vs. non-discretionary), timing and amount of our maintenance capital expenditures that merit a more detailed review and analysis than was required historically. Management’s recently increasing ability to determine if and when to incur certain maintenance capital expenditures is relevant to the manner in which we analyze aspects of our business relating to discretionary and non-discretionary expenditures. We believe it would be inappropriate to derive our Available Cash before Reserves measure by deducting discretionary maintenance capital expenditures, which we believe are similar in nature in this context to certain other discretionary expenditures, such as growth capital expenditures, distributions/dividends and equity buybacks. Unfortunately, not all maintenance capital expenditures are clearly discretionary or non-discretionary in nature. Therefore, we developed a new measure, maintenance capital utilized, that we believe is more useful in the determination of Available Cash before Reserves. Our maintenance capital utilized measure, which is described in more detail below, constitutes a proxy for non-discretionary maintenance capital expenditures and it takes into consideration the relationship among maintenance capital expenditures, operating expenses and depreciation from period to period.
MAINTENANCE CAPITAL UTILIZED
We believe our maintenance capital utilized measure is the most useful quarterly maintenance capital requirements measure to use to derive our Available Cash before Reserves measure. We define our maintenance capital utilized measure as that portion of the amount of previously incurred maintenance capital expenditures that we utilize during the relevant quarter, which would be equal to the sum of the maintenance capital expenditures we have incurred for each project/component in prior quarters allocated ratably over the useful lives of those projects/components.
Because we have not historically used our maintenance capital utilized measure, our future maintenance capital utilized calculations will reflect the utilization of solely those maintenance capital expenditures incurred since December 31, 2013. Further, we do not have the actual comparable calculations for our prior periods, and we may not have the information necessary to make such calculations for such periods. And, even if we could locate and/or re-create the information necessary to make such calculations, we believe it would be unduly burdensome to do so in comparison to the benefits derived.

Future actions, conditions or events and future results of operations may differ materially from those expressed in these forward-looking statements. Many of the factors that will determine these results are beyond our ability or the ability of our affiliates to control or predict. Specific factors that could cause actual results to differ from those in the forward-looking statements include, among others:
| |
• | demand for, the supply of, our assumptions about, changes in forecast data for, and price trends related to crude oil, liquid petroleum, natural gas, NaHS, caustic soda and CO2, all of which may be affected by economic activity, capital expenditures by energy producers, weather, alternative energy sources, international events, conservation and technological advances; |
| |
• | throughput levels and rates; |
| |
• | changes in, or challenges to, our tariff rates; |
| |

| |
• | changes in laws and regulations to which we are subject, including tax withholding issues, regulations regarding qualifying income, accounting pronouncements, and safety, environmental and employment laws and regulations; |
| |
• | the effects of production declines and the effects of future laws and government regulation; |
| |
• | planned capital expenditures and availability of capital resources to fund capital expenditures; |
| |
• | our inability to borrow or otherwise access funds needed for operations, expansions or capital expenditures as a result of our credit agreement and the indentures governing our notes, which contain various affirmative and negative covenants; |
| |
• | cash from operations that we generate could decrease or fail to meet expectations, either of which could reduce our ability to pay quarterly cash distributions at the current level or continue to increase quarterly cash distributions in the future; |
| |
• | an increase in the competition that our operations encounter; |
| |
• | cost and availability of insurance; |
| |
• | hazards and operating risks that may not be covered fully by insurance; |
| |
• | our financial and commodity hedging arrangements, which may reduce our earnings, profitability and cash flow; |
| |
• | changes in global economic conditions, including capital and credit markets conditions, inflation and interest rates; |
| |
• | natural disasters, accidents or terrorism; |
| |
• | changes in the financial condition of customers or counterparties; |
| |
• | adverse rulings, judgments, or settlements in litigation or other legal or tax matters; |
| |
• | the treatment of us as a corporation for federal income tax purposes or if we become subject to entity-level taxation for state tax purposes; and |
| |
• | the potential that our internal controls may not be adequate, weaknesses may be discovered or remediation of any identified weaknesses may not be successful and the impact these could have on our unit price. |
