(1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) Nature of business

TransMontaigne Partners LLC (“we,” “us,” “our,” “the Company”) provides integrated terminaling, storage, transportation and related services for companies engaged in the trading, distribution and marketing of light refined petroleum products, heavy refined petroleum products, renewable products, crude oil, chemicals, fertilizers and other liquid products. We conduct our operations in the United States along the Gulf Coast, in the Midwest, in Houston and Brownsville, Texas, along the Mississippi and Ohio rivers, in the Southeast and along the West Coast. In addition, we sell refined and renewable products to major fuel producers and marketers in the Pacific Northwest at our terminal operations in Tacoma and Seattle, Washington.

On November 17, 2021, Arclight contributed Pike West Coast Holdings, LLC (“Pike West Coast”) a portfolio company of ArcLight Energy Partners Fund VI, L.P. to the Company. Pike West Coast is an infrastructure company with significant operations across the renewable fuels supply chain in the U.S. Pacific Northwest (the “Pacific Northwest Contribution”).

Pike West Coast owns a 100% ownership interest in SeaPort Financing, LLC. SeaPort Financing, LLC owns a 100% ownership interest in SeaPort Sound Terminal, LLC, which owns a refined and renewable products terminal in Tacoma, Washington; a 51% ownership interest in SeaPort Midstream Partners, LLC (“Seaport Midstream”), which owns refined and renewable products terminals in both Seattle, Washington and Portland, Oregon; and a 30% ownership interest in Olympic Pipeline Company, LLC (“Olympic Pipeline Company”), which owns the 400-mile Olympic Pipeline between Blaine, Washington and Portland, Oregon, and a refined and renewable products terminal in Bayview, Washington.

The Pacific Northwest Contribution has been recorded at carryover basis as a reorganization of entities under common control. As such, prior periods include the assets, liabilities, and results of operations of the Pacific Northwest Contribution for all periods presented (See Note 3 of Notes to consolidated financial statements).

(b) Basis of presentation and use of estimates

Our accounting and financial reporting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of TransMontaigne Partners LLC and its controlled subsidiaries. Investments where we do not have the ability to exercise control, but do have the ability to exercise significant influence, are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. All inter-companyintercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal and recurring accruals) considered necessary to present fairly our financial position as of September 30, 20212022 and December 31, 20202021 and our results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 20212022 and 2020.2021.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. The following estimates, inIn management’s opinion, the estimate of useful lives of our plant and equipment are subjective in nature, require the exercise of judgment and/orand involve complex analyses: useful lives of our plant and equipment and accrued environmental obligations.analyses. Changes in these estimates and assumptions will occur as a result of the passage of time and the occurrence of future events. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

(c) Accounting for terminal and pipeline operations

We generate revenue from terminaling services fees, management fees, pipeline transportation fees and management fees.product sales. Under Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606606”) and ASCTopic 842,Leases and the series of related Accounting Standards Updates that followed (collectively referred to as “ASC 842”), we recognize revenue over time or at a point in time, depending on the nature of the performance obligations contained in the respective contract with our customer. The contract transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. The majority of our revenue is recognized pursuant to ASC 842. The following is an overview of our significant revenue streams, including a description of the respective performance obligations and related method of revenue recognition.

Terminaling services fees. Our terminaling services agreements are structured as either throughput agreements or storage agreements. Our throughput agreements contain provisions that require our customers to make minimum payments, which are based on contractually established minimum volumes of throughput of the customer’s product at our facilities, over a stipulated period of time. Due to this minimum payment arrangement, we recognize a fixed amount of revenue from the customer over a certain period of time, even if the customer throughputs less than the minimum volume of product during that period. In addition, if a customer throughputs a volume of product exceeding the minimum volume, we would recognize additional revenue on this incremental volume. Our storage agreements require our customers to make minimum payments based on the volume of storage capacity available to the customer under the agreement, which results in a fixed amount of recognized revenue. We refer to the fixed amount of revenue recognized pursuant to our terminaling services agreements as being “firm commitments.”

Table of Contents

TransMontaigne Partners LLC and Subsidiaries

Notes to consolidated financial statements (unaudited) (continued)

Our terminaling services agreements include revenue recognized in accordance with ASC 606 and ASC 842. At the time of contract inception, we evaluate each contract to determine whether the contract contains a lease. Significant assumptions used in this process include the determination of whether substantive substitution rights exist based on the terms of the contract and available capacity at the terminal at the time of contract inception. Our terminaling services agreements do not allow our customers to purchase the underlying asset and vary in terms and conditions with respect to extension or termination options. If a contract is accounted for as a lease under ASC 842, we recognize the minimum payments as lease revenue and revenue recognized in excess of firm commitments as a variable payment of the lease. All other components of the contracts accounted for as a lease are treated as non-lease components (ancillary revenue) and are accounted for in accordance with ASC 606. The majority of our firm commitments under our terminaling services agreements are accounted for as lease revenue in accordance with ASC 842 (“ASC 842 revenue”).842. The remaining firm commitments under our terminaling services agreements not accounted for as lease revenue are accounted for in accordance with ASC 606, (“ASC 606 revenue”), where the minimum payment arrangement in each contract is considered a single performance obligation that is primarily satisfied over time through the contract term.

Revenue recognized in excess of firm commitments and revenue recognized based solely on the volume of product distributed or injected are referred to as ancillary. The ancillary revenue associated with terminaling services include volumes of product throughput that exceed the contractually established minimum volumes, injection fees based on the volume of product injected with additive compounds, heating and mixing of stored products, product transfer, railcar handling, butane blending, proceeds from the sale of product gains, wharfage and vapor recovery. The revenue generated by these services is required to be estimated under ASC 606 for any uncertainty that is not resolved in the period of the service. We account for the majority of ancillary revenue at individual points in time when the services are delivered to the customer. The majority of our ancillary revenue is recognized in accordance with ASC 606 (See Note 1415 of Notes to consolidated financial statements).

Pipeline transportation fees. We earned pipeline transportation fees at our Diamondback pipeline under a capacity reservation agreement that ended on May 26, 2021. Revenue associated with the capacity reservation agreement was recognized ratably over the respective term, regardless of whether the capacity was actually utilized. We earned pipeline transportation fees at our Razorback pipeline based on an allocation of the aggregate fees charged under the capacity agreement with our customer who was contracted for 100% of our Razorback system through December 31, 2020. Effective January 1, 2021, our customer has leased 100% of our Razorback system and assumed operatorship of the Razorback pipeline and the terminals in Mount Vernon, Missouri and in Rogers, Arkansas. Beginning in 2021, the fees associated with this lease agreement are recognized as terminaling services fees. Pipeline transportation revenue is primarily accounted for in accordance with ASC 842.

Management fees. We manage and operate certain tank capacity at our Port Everglades South terminal for a major oil company and receive a reimbursement of its proportionate share of operating and maintenance costs. We manage and operate the Frontera joint venture and receive a management fee based on our costs incurred. We lease land under operating leases as the lessor or sublessor with third parties and affiliates. We manage and operate rail sites at certain Southeast terminals on behalf of a major oil company and receive reimbursement for operating and maintenance costs. We manage and operate terminals that are owned by affiliates of ArcLight, including for SeaPort Midstream Partners, LLC in Seattle, Washington and Portland, Oregon and another terminal for SeaPort Sound Terminal, LLC (“SeaPort Sound”) in Tacoma, Washington and receive a management fee based on our costs incurred. We also

manage additional terminal facilities that are owned by affiliates of ArcLight, including Lucknow-Highspire Terminals, LLC, which operates terminals throughout Pennsylvania encompassing approximately 9.9 million barrels of storage capacity and we receive a management fee based on our costs incurred.

Management fee revenue is recognized at individual points in time as the services are performed or as the costs are incurred and is primarily accounted for in accordance with ASC 606. Management fees related to lease revenue are accounted for in accordance with ASC 842.

TablePipeline transportation fees. We earned pipeline transportation fees at our Diamondback pipeline under a capacity reservation agreement that ended on May 26, 2021. Revenue associated with the capacity reservation agreement was recognized ratably over the respective term, regardless of Contentswhether the capacity was utilized.

TransMontaigne Partners LLCProduct sales. Our product sales revenue refers to the sale of refined and Subsidiariesrenewable products at our terminal operations in Tacoma and Seattle, Washington. Product sales revenue pricing is contractually specified, and we have determined that each transaction represents a separate performance obligation. Product sales revenue is recognized at a point in time when our customers take control and legal title of the commodities purchased. Product sales revenue is recorded gross of cost of product sales, which includes product supply and transportation costs, as we are responsible for fulfilling the promise in the sales contract and maintain inventory risk. Product sales revenue is accounted for in accordance with ASC 606.

Notes to consolidated financial statements (unaudited) (continued)

(d) Cash and cash equivalents

We consider all short-term investments with a remaining maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents.

(e) Inventory

Inventory represents refined and renewable products held for resale and are recorded at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined by using the average cost method. At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, our refined products inventory was approximately $9.7 million and $2.8 million, respectively. At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, our renewable products inventory was approximately $2.9 million and $2.5 million, respectively. We did not recognize any adjustments to the lower of cost or net realizable value during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021.

(f) Property, plant and equipment

Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method. Estimated useful lives are 15 to 25 years for terminals and pipelines and 3 to 25 years for furniture, fixtures and equipment. All items of property, plant and equipment are carried at cost. Expenditures that increase capacity or extend useful lives are capitalized. Repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.

We evaluate long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset group may not be recoverable based on expected undiscounted future cash flows attributable to that asset group. If an asset group is impaired, the impairment loss to be recognized is the excess of the carrying amount of the asset group over its estimated fair value. We did 0tnot recognize any impairment charges during the three and nine months ended September 30, 20212022 and 2020.2021.

11

Table of Contents

(f)TransMontaigne Partners LLC and Subsidiaries

Notes to consolidated financial statements (unaudited) (continued)

(g) Investments in unconsolidated affiliates

We account for our investments in unconsolidated affiliates, which we do not control but do have the ability to exercise significant influence over, using the equity method of accounting. Under this method, the investment is recorded at acquisition cost, increased by our proportionate share of any earnings and additional capital contributions and decreased by our proportionate share of any losses, distributions received and amortization of any excess investment. Excess investment is the amount by which our total investment exceeds our proportionate share of the book value of the net assets of the investment entity. We evaluate our investments in unconsolidated affiliates for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate there is a loss in value of the investment that is other than temporary. In the event of impairment, we would record a charge to earnings to adjust the carrying amount to estimated fair value. We did not recognize any impairment charges during the three and nine months ended September 30, 20212022 and 2020.2021.

(g)(h) Environmental obligations

We accrue for environmental costs that relate to existing conditions caused by past operations when probable and reasonably estimable (See Note 910 of Notes to consolidated financial statements). Environmental costs include initial site surveys and environmental studies of potentially contaminated sites, costs for remediation and restoration of sites determined to be contaminated and ongoing monitoring costs, as well as fines, damages and other costs, including direct legal costs. Liabilities for environmental costs at a specific site are initially recorded, on an undiscounted basis, when it is probable that we will be liable for such costs, and a reasonable estimate of the associated costs can be made based on available information. Such an estimate includes our share of the liability for each specific site and the sharing of the amounts related to each site that will not be paid by other potentially responsible parties, based on enacted laws and adopted regulations and policies. Adjustments to initial estimates are recorded, from time to time, to reflect changing circumstances and estimates based upon additional information developed in subsequent periods. Estimates of our ultimate liabilities associated with environmental costs are difficult to make with certainty due to the number of variables involved, including the early stage of investigation at certain sites, the lengthy time frames required to complete remediation, technology changes, alternatives available and the evolving nature of environmental laws and regulations. We periodically file claims for insurance recoveries of certain environmental remediation costs with our insurance carriers under our comprehensive liability policies (See Note 45 of Notes to consolidated financial statements).

In connection with our acquisition of the Florida, (other than Pensacola), Midwest, Brownsville, Texas, River and Southeast and Pensacola, Florida terminalterminals and facilities, a third party agreed to indemnify us against certain potential

11

Table of Contents

TransMontaigne Partners LLC and Subsidiaries

Notes to consolidated financial statements (unaudited) (continued)

environmental claims, losses and expenses. Based on our current knowledge, we expect that the active remediation projects subject to the benefit of this indemnification obligation are winding down and will not involve material additional claims, losses, and expenses. Nonetheless, the forgoing environmental indemnification obligations of a third party to us remain in place.

(h)(i) Asset retirement obligations

Asset retirement obligations are legal obligations associated with the retirement of long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development or normal use of the asset. GAAP requires that the fair value of a liability related to the retirement of long-lived assets be recorded at the time a legal obligation is incurred. Once an asset retirement obligation is identified and a liability is recorded, a corresponding asset is recorded, which is depreciated over the remaining useful life of the asset. After the initial measurement, the liability is adjusted to reflect changes in the asset retirement obligation. If and when it is determined that a legal obligation has been incurred, the fair value of any liability is determined based on estimates and assumptions related to retirement costs, future inflation rates and interest rates. Our long-lived assets consist of above-ground storage facilities and underground pipelines. We are unable to predict if and when these long-lived assets will become completely obsolete and require dismantlement. We have not recorded an asset retirement obligation, or corresponding asset, because the future dismantlement and removal dates of our long-lived assets is indeterminable and the amount of any associated costs are believed to be insignificant. Changes in our assumptions and estimates may occur as a result of the passage of time and the occurrence of future events.

(i) Deferred compensation expenseTransMontaigne Partners LLC and Subsidiaries

We have a savings and retention plan to compensate certain employees who provide services to the Company. We index the savings and retention plan awards to other forms of investments and have the intent and ability to settle the awards in cash, and accordingly, we account for the awards as liability awards (See Note 11 of Notes to consolidated financial statements).statements (unaudited) (continued)

(j) Accounting for derivative instruments

Generally accepted accounting principles require us to recognize all derivative instruments at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets as assets or liabilities.liabilities (See Notes 5 and 9 of Notes to consolidated financial statements). Changes in the fair value of our derivative instruments are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations.

At September 30, 20212022 and December 31, 2020 we do not have2021, our derivative instruments. Ourinstruments were limited to interest rate swap agreements expired in June 2020.with an aggregate notional amount of $500 million and $nil, respectively.

Thereafter, we will receive interest payments based on the one-month CME Term SOFR. The net difference to be paid or received under the interest rate swap agreements waswill be settled monthly and was recognized as an adjustment to interest expense.The fair value of our interest rate swap agreements wasare determined using a pricing model based on the LIBOR swap rate and other observable market data.

(k) Income taxes

NaNNo provision for U.S. federal income taxes has been reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements because we are treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes. As a partnership, all income, gains, losses, expenses, deductions and tax credits generated by us flow up to our owners.

(l) Comprehensive income

Entities that report items of other comprehensive income have the option to present the components of net earnings and comprehensive income in either one continuous financial statement, or two consecutive financial

statements. As we have no components of comprehensive income other than net earnings, no statement of comprehensive income has been presented.

(m) Recent accounting pronouncements

In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”)FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate ReformFacilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. Further, in January 2021, the FASB issued Update No. 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848), which clarifies the scope of Topic 848 so that derivatives affected by the discounting transition are explicitly eligible for certain optional expedients and exceptions in Topic 848. This ASU provides temporary optional expedients and exceptions to GAAP guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease the financial reporting burdens of the expected market transition from LIBOR and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates, such as the Secured Overnight Financing Rate.Rate (“SOFR”). Entities can elect not to apply certain modification accounting requirements to contracts affected by this reference rate reform, if certain criteria are met. An entity that makes this election would not have to re-measure the contracts at the modification date or reassess a previous accounting determination. Entities can also elect various optional expedients that would allow them to continue applying hedge accounting for hedging relationships affected by reference rate reform, if certain criteria are met. The guidance is effective upon issuance and generally can be applied through December 31, 2022. We are currently reviewing the effect of this ASU on our financial statements.

(n) Going concern assessmentTransMontaigne Partners LLC and management’s planSubsidiaries

Pursuant to FASB ASC 205-40, Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties About an Entity's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern, we are required to assess our ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year from the date of the issuance of these consolidated financial statements. Substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern exists when relevant conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, indicate that it is probable that the entity will be unable to meet its obligations as they become due within one year from the financial statement issuance date. As discussed in Note 10 of Notes to consolidated financial statements our revolving credit facility matures on March 13, 2022, and has not been renewed as of the date of the issuance of these consolidated financial statements. On October 5, 2021 the Company entered into a confidentiality agreement with certain lenders related to a potential transaction for a senior secured credit facility and senior secured term loan. However, until such time as we have an executed agreement to refinance or extend the maturity of our revolving credit facility and have closed on such agreements, we cannot conclude that it is probable we will do so, and accordingly, this raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.(unaudited) (continued)

(2) TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

Contribution of Pacific Northwest assets. On November 17, 2021, Arclight contributed Pike West Coast Holdings, LLC (“Pike West Coast”), a portfolio company of ArcLight Energy Partners Fund VI, L.P. to the Company in exchange for payments to certain lenders of SeaPort Financing, LLC (a wholly owned subsidiary of Pike West Coast) in the amount of approximately $198.2 million and a distribution to Arclight in the amount of approximately $256.3 million. In addition, a $10.2 million short-term loan from the Company to an ArcLight affiliate was terminated in contemplation of the contribution. Pike West Coast is an infrastructure company with significant operations across the renewable fuels supply chain in the U.S. Pacific Northwest (the “Pacific Northwest Contribution”).

Pike West Coast owns a 100% ownership interest in SeaPort Financing, LLC. SeaPort Financing, LLC owns a 100% ownership interest in SeaPort Sound Terminal, LLC, which owns a refined and renewable products terminal in Tacoma, Washington; a 51% ownership interest in SeaPort Midstream, which owns refined and renewable products terminals in both Seattle, Washington and Portland, Oregon; and a 30% ownership interest in Olympic Pipeline Company, which owns the 400-mile Olympic Pipeline between Blaine, Washington and Portland, Oregon, and a refined and renewable products terminal in Bayview, Washington.

(3)(4) CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK AND TRADE ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

Our primary market areas are located in the United States along the Gulf Coast, in the Southeast, in Brownsville, Texas, along the Mississippi and Ohio Rivers, in the Midwest and along the West Coast. We have a concentration of trade receivable balances due from companies engaged in the trading, distribution and marketing of refined products and crude oil. These concentrations of customers may affect our overall credit risk in that the customers may be similarly affected by changes in economic, regulatory or other factors. Our customers’ historical financial and operating information is analyzed prior to extending credit. We manage our exposure to credit risk through credit analysis, credit approvals, credit limits and monitoring procedures, and for certain transactions we may request letters of credit, prepayments or guarantees.

Trade accounts receivable consists of the following (in thousands):

Notes to consolidated financial statements (unaudited) (continued)

Goodwill is required to be tested for impairment annually unless events or changes in circumstances indicate it is more likely than not that an impairment loss has been incurred at an interim date. Our annual test for the impairment of goodwill is performed as of December 31. The impairment test is performed at the reporting unit level. Our reporting units are our business segments (See Note 1516 of Notes to consolidated financial statements). The fair value of each reporting unit is determined on a stand-alone basis from the perspective of a market participant and represents an estimate of the price that would be received to sell the unit as a whole in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill of the reporting unit is not considered to be impaired.

At September 30, 20212022 and December 31, 2020,2021, our Brownsville and West Coast terminals contained goodwill. We did 0tnot recognize any goodwill impairment charges during the three orand nine months ended September 30, 20212022 or during the year ended December 31, 20202021 for these reporting units. However, an increase in the assumed market participants’ weighted average cost of capital, the loss of a significant customer, the disposition of significant assets, or an unforeseen increase in the costs to operate and maintain the Brownsville or West Coast terminals could result in the recognition of an impairment charge in the future.

(11)(12) DEFERRED COMPENSATION EXPENSE

We have a savings and retention plan to compensate certain employees who provide services to the Company.

Awards under the plan with respect to individuals providing services to the Company generally become vested as to 50% of a participant’s annual award as of the first day of the month that falls closest to the second anniversary of the grant date, and the remaining 50% as of the first day of the month that falls closest to the third anniversary of the grant date, subject to earlier vesting upon a participant’s attainment of the age and length of service thresholds, retirement, death or disability, involuntary termination without cause, or termination of a participant’s employment following a change in control of the Company as specified in the plan. The awards are increased for the value of any accrued growth based on underlying investments deemed made with respect to the awards. The awards (including any accrued growth relating thereto) are subject to forfeiture until the vesting date. A person will satisfy the age and length of service thresholds of the plan upon the attainment of the earliest of (a) age sixty, (b) age fifty-five and ten years of service as an officer of the Company or any of its affiliates or predecessors, or (c) age fifty and twenty years of service as an employee of the Company or any of its affiliates or predecessors.

(12)(13) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

LeaseLessee operating lease commitments.We lease property including corporate offices, vehicles and land. We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception and evaluate identified leases for operating or finance lease treatment at lease commencement. Operating or finance lease right-of-use assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Our leases have remaining lease terms of less than one year to 5049 years, some of which have options to extend or terminate the lease. For purposes of calculating operating lease liabilities, lease terms may be deemed to include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option.

Operating right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. The additions to right-of-use assets obtained from new operating lease liabilities during the three and nine months ended September 30, 20212022 of approximately $15.8$nil and $5.3 million, respectively, are treated as non-cash transactions that do not impact the consolidated statements of cash flows. The Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. We determined our incremental borrowing rate using the borrowing rate of our revolving credit facility.debt agreements. The terms of our corporate offices, vehicles and land leases are in line with our revolving credit facility,the Credit Agreement, our primary finance mechanism. We have certain land and vehicle lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, which are accounted for separately.

(13)(14) DISCLOSURES ABOUT FAIR VALUE

GAAP defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. GAAP also establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the use of higher-level inputs for valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are: (1) Level 1 inputs, which are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; (2) Level 2 inputs, which are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and (3) Level 3 inputs, which are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

The fair values of the following financial instruments represent our best estimate of the amounts that would be received to sell those assets or that would be paid to transfer those liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at that date. Our fair value measurements maximize the use of observable inputs. However, in situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date, the fair value measurement reflects our judgments about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best information available in the circumstances. There were no transfers into or out of Levels 1, 2, and 3 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 20212022 and 2020.2021. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments at September 30, 20212022 and December 31, 2020.2021.

Cash equivalents. The carrying amount approximates fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments. The fair value is categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

Derivative instruments. The carrying amount of our interest rate swaps was determined using a pricing model based on the LIBOR swap rate and other observable market data. The fair value is categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Debt. The estimated fair value of our $992.5 million senior secured term loan at September 30, 2022 was approximately $939.2 million based on observable market trades. The estimated fair value of our $299.9 million publicly traded senior notes at September 30, 2022 was approximately $250.4 million based on observable market trades. The carrying amount of our revolving credit facility debt approximates fair value since borrowings under the facility bear interest at current market interest rates. The estimated fair value of our $299.9 million publicly traded senior notes at September 30, 2021 was approximately $305.9 million based on observable market trades. The fair value of our debt is categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

BALANCE SHEET DISCLOSURES

Contract assets. Our contract assets include trade accounts receivable and long-term customer receivables. We have long-term terminaling services agreements with certain of our customers that provide for minimum annual throughput commitments that are billed to the customers based on actual throughput volume whereas revenue is recognized under ASC 606 and ASC 842 on a straight-line basis over the terms of the respective agreements. The difference between the amount billed and revenue recognized is a contract asset. This asset is presented as other assets, net in our consolidated balance sheets (See Note 89 of Notes to consolidated financial statements).

Revenue recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, from amounts included in long-term customer receivables at December 31, 2021, was $nil for contracts under ASC 606 and approximately $0.5 million for contracts under ASC 842.

Contract liabilities. Our contract liabilities include deferred revenue and customer advances and deposits. We have long-term terminaling services agreements with certain of our customers that provide for advance minimum payments. We recognize the advance minimum payments as revenue on a straight-line basis over the term of the respective agreements. In addition, pursuant to certain agreements with our customers, we agreed to undertake certain capital projects. Upon completion of the projects, our customers have paid us amounts that will be recognized as revenue on a straight-line basis over the remaining term of the agreements. Collectively, the differences between amounts billed and revenue recognized under ASC 606 and ASC 842 are recorded as contract liabilities. These liabilities are presented as deferred revenue in our consolidated balance sheets. We record customer advances and deposits when payments are received from customers in advance of the terminaling services being provided, resulting in a contract liability accounted for under ASC 606 and ASC 842. This liability is presented as accrued liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets (See Note 910 of Notes to consolidated financial statements).

(15)(16) BUSINESS SEGMENTS

We provide integrated terminaling, storage, transportation and related services to companies engaged in the trading, distribution and marketing of refined petroleum products, renewable products, crude oil, chemicals, fertilizers and other liquid products. In addition, we sell refined and renewable products to major fuel producers and marketers in the Pacific Northwest at our terminal operations in Tacoma and Seattle, Washington. Our chief operating decision maker is the Company’s chief executive officer. The Company’s chief executive officer reviews the financial performance of our business segments using disaggregated financial information about “net margins” for purposes of making operating decisions and assessing financial performance. “Net margins” is composed of revenue less cost of product sales and operating costs and expenses. Accordingly, we present “net margins” for each of our business segments: (i) Gulf Coast terminals, (ii) Midwest terminals, (iii) Brownsville terminals including management of the Frontera joint venture, (iv) River terminals, (v) Southeast terminals, (vi) West Coast terminals and (vii) Central services. Our Central services segment primarily represents the costs of employees performing operating oversight functions, engineering, health, safety and environmental services to our terminals and terminals that we operate or manage, including for affiliate terminals owned by ArcLight. In addition, Central services represent the cost of employees at affiliate terminals owned by ArcLight that we operate. We receive a fee from these affiliates based on our costs incurred.

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

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

COVID-19.We have taken proactive measures to deliver our services safely and reliably during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. At the outset of the pandemic, we activated an Incident Support Team to execute our Infectious Disease Control Policy, and to focus on a number of priorities, including: (i) implement basic infection prevention techniques and other workplace protections in our business operations; (ii) identify and isolate individuals suspected of being infected by COVID-19; (iii) identify risk factors in our workforce that may increase the possibility of exposure to COVID-19; and (iv) develop a contingency plan for the possibility that a serious outbreak does occur in the area of any of our terminals. We continue to follow recommendations from public health authorities and have taken steps to help prevent our employees’ exposure to the spread of COVID-19, including, where practical, work-at-home plans enacted in March 2020 and the implementation of business continuity plans to enable the integrity of our operations and protect the health of our employees.

To date, our operations, employees, and financial position have not been materially impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. We have provided our customers continued access and utilization of our strategic terminal network. We continue to employ all current safety processes and procedures in the normal course. In addition, we provide an essential service across our markets, which has been recognized in most relevant regulatory guidance regarding COVID-19. Further, approximately 82% of our current terminaling services revenue is derived from firm commitments pursuant to our multi-year agreements that require our customers to make minimum payments based on minimum volumes of throughput of the customer’s product or the volume of storage capacity available to the customer under the agreement, and the majority of our terminaling services agreements have a remaining term in excess of one year. To date, we have not experienced any material instance of our customers failing to meet their contractual commitments to us as a result of these recent developments. The nature of our revenues and agreements therefore remains somewhat insulated from any potential increases or decreases to demand and pricing for crude oil, refined petroleum products, renewable products, and other products that we handle, including as a result of public and governmental responses with respect to travel and economic activity in light of COVD-19.

There continue to be too many variables and uncertainties regarding COVID-19 — including the continued global spread of the virus, new variants, the duration and severity of the outbreak and the extent of current and future travel and business restrictions or business closures, and medical advancements in treating and vaccinating against the disease — to reasonably predict the potential longer-term impact of COVID-19 on our business and operations. We continue to monitor the situation, have actively implemented policies and practices to address the situation and actively protect our employees, and may adjust our current policies and practices as more information and guidance become available.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

A summary of the significant accounting policies that we have adopted and followed in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements is detailed in Note 1 of Notes to consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021.2022. Certain of these accounting policies require the use of estimates. The following estimates, inIn management’s opinion, the estimate of useful lives of our plant and equipment are subjective in nature, require the exercise of judgment and involve complex analyses: useful lives of our plant and equipment and accrued environmental obligations.analyses. These estimates are based on our knowledge and understanding of current conditions and actions we may take in the future. Changes in these estimates will occur as a result of the passage of time and the occurrence of future events. Subsequent changes in these estimates may have a significant impact on our financial condition and results of operations.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS—THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 20212022 AND 20202021

The Pacific Northwest Contribution has been recorded at carryover basis as a reorganization of entities under common control. As such, prior periods set forth herein and under Item 1. “Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements” of this Quarterly Report, include the assets, liabilities, and results of operations of the Pacific Northwest Contribution for all periods presented.

We operate our business and report our results of operations in seven principal business segments: (i) Gulf Coast terminals, (ii) Midwest terminals, (iii) Brownsville terminals including management of the Frontera, joint venture, (iv) River terminals, (v) Southeast terminals, (vi) West Coast terminals and (vii) Central services.

The increase in product sales and cost of product sales for the three months ended September 30, 2022, is a result of increased product prices and volumes in 2022.

TotalThe terminal revenue by business segment is presented and further analyzed below by category of revenue.

Terminaling services fees.Our terminaling services agreements are structured as either throughput agreements or storage agreements. Our throughput agreements contain provisions that require our customers to make minimum payments, which are based on contractually established minimum volume of throughput of the customer’s product at our facilities over a stipulated period of time. Due to this minimum payment arrangement, we recognize a fixed amount of revenue from the customer over a certain period of time, even if the customer throughputs less than the minimum volume of product during that period. In addition, if a customer throughputs a volume of product exceeding the minimum volume, we would recognize additional revenue on this incremental volume. Our storage agreements require our customers to make minimum payments based on the volume of storage capacity available to the customer under the agreement, which results in a fixed amount of recognized revenue.

We refer to the fixed amount of revenue recognized pursuant to our terminaling services agreements as being “firm

30

Table of Contents

commitments.” Revenue recognized in excess of firm commitments and revenue recognized based solely on the volume of product distributed or injected are referred to as “ancillary.” In addition, “ancillary” revenue also includes fees received from ancillary services including heating and mixing of stored products, product transfer, railcar handling, butane blending, proceeds from the sale of product gains, wharfage and vapor recovery.

The decrease in terminaling services fees at our Southeast terminals is primarily due to a customer terminating its terminaling services agreement effective December 31, 2020 at our Collins/Purvis, Mississippi terminal. During the second and third quarters of 2021 we re-contracted a portion of the available capacity. We are currently in the process of identifying potential parties to re-contract the remaining available capacity at our Collins/Purvis, Mississippi terminal.

Included in terminaling services fees for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, are fees charged to affiliates of approximately $3.7 million and $2.9 million, respectively.

_____________________________

(1)We have a terminaling services agreement with a third party relating to our Southeast terminals that will continue unless and until the third party provides at least 24 months’ prior notice of its intent to terminate the agreement. Effective at any time from and after July 31, 2040, we have the right to terminate the agreement by providing at least 24 months’ prior notice of our intent to terminate the agreement. We do not believe the third party will terminate the

31

agreement prior to July 31, 2040; therefore we have presented the firm commitments related to this terminaling services agreement in the 5 years or more remaining category in the table above.

Pipeline transportation fees. We earned pipeline transportation fees at our Diamondback pipeline under a capacity reservation agreement that ended on May 26, 2021. Revenue associated with the capacity reservation agreement was recognized ratably over the respective term, regardless of whether the capacity was actually utilized. We earned pipeline transportation fees at our Razorback pipeline based on an allocation of the aggregate fees charged under the capacity agreement with our customer who was contracted for 100% of our Razorback system through December 31, 2020. Effective January 1, 2021, our customer has leased 100% of our Razorback system and assumed operatorship of the Razorback pipeline and the terminals in Mount Vernon, Missouri and in Rogers, Arkansas. Beginning in 2021, the fees associated with this lease agreement are recognized as terminaling services fees.

We lease land under operating leases as the lessor or sublessor with third parties and affiliates. We manage and operate rail sites at certain Southeast terminals on behalf of a major oil company and receive reimbursement for operating and maintenance costs. We manage and operate terminals that are owned by affiliates of ArcLight, including for SeaPort Midstream Partners, LLC in Seattle, Washington and Portland, Oregon and another terminal for SeaPort Sound Terminal LLC (“SeaPort Sound”) in Tacoma, Washington and receive a management fee based on our costs incurred. We also manage additional terminal facilities that are owned by affiliates of ArcLight, including Lucknow-Highspire Terminals, LLC, which operates terminals throughout Pennsylvania encompassing approximately 9.9 million barrels of storage capacity and we receive a management fee based on our costs incurred.

Terminaling services fees. Our terminaling services agreements are structured as either throughput agreements or storage agreements. Our throughput agreements contain provisions that require our customers to make minimum payments, which are based on contractually established minimum volume of throughput of the customer’s product at our facilities over a stipulated period of time. Due to this minimum payment arrangement, we recognize a fixed amount of revenue from the customer over a certain period of time, even if the customer throughputs less than the minimum volume of product during that period. In addition, if a customer throughputs a volume of product exceeding the minimum volume, we would recognize additional revenue on this incremental volume. Our storage agreements require our customers to make minimum payments based on the volume of storage capacity available to the customer under the agreement, which results in a fixed amount of recognized revenue.

We refer to the fixed amount of revenue recognized pursuant to our terminaling services agreements as being “firm commitments.” Revenue recognized in excess of firm commitments and revenue recognized based solely on the volume of product distributed or injected are referred to as “ancillary.” In addition, “ancillary” revenue also includes fees received from ancillary services including heating and mixing of stored products, product transfer, railcar handling, butane

The decreaseincrease in terminaling services fees at our Gulf Coast terminals is primarily due to a customer terminating its terminaling services agreement effective December 31, 2020 at our Port Everglades North terminal. Thecontracting available capacity was re-contracted during the fourth quarter of 2021.

Effective January 1, 2021, our customer has leased 100% of our Razorback system and assumed operatorship of the Razorback pipeline and the terminals in Mount Vernon, Missouri and in Rogers, Arkansas in our Midwest terminals segment. The fees associated with this lease agreement are recognized as terminaling servicesincreased ancillary fees. Prior to January 1, 2021, we earned pipeline transportation fees at our Razorback pipeline based on an allocation of the aggregate fees charged under a capacity agreement with our customer who was contracted for 100% of our Razorback system through December 31, 2020.

The increase in terminaling services fees at our Brownsville terminals is primarily due to placing into service a newly constructed 175,000 barrel tank and construction of gasoline railcar loading capabilities during the first quarter of 2021.

The decrease in terminaling services fees at our Southeast terminals is primarily due to a customer terminating itsavailable capacity at our Collins, Mississippi terminal and recontracting capacity at lower rates at our Collins, Mississippi terminal.

The increase in terminaling services agreement effective December 31, 2020fees at our Collins/Purvis, Mississippi terminal. DuringWest Coast terminals is primarily a result of placing various growth projects into service during the secondfirst quarter of 2022 and third quarters of 2021 we re-contracted a portion of the available capacity. We are currently in the process of identifying potential parties to re-contract the remaining available capacity.increased ancillary fees.

Included in terminaling services fees for the ninethree months ended September 30, 20212022 and 2020,2021, are fees charged to affiliates of approximately $9.3$3.0 million and $8.3$3.6 million, respectively.

Terminaling services fees.Our terminaling services agreements are structured as either throughput agreements or storage agreements. Our throughput agreements contain provisions that require our customers to make minimum payments, which are based on contractually established minimum volume of throughput of the customer’s product at our facilities over a stipulated period of time. Due to this minimum payment arrangement, we recognize a fixed amount of revenue from the customer over a certain period of time, even if the customer throughputs less than the minimum volume of product during

Table of Contents

that period. In addition, if a customer throughputs a volume of product exceeding the minimum volume, we would recognize additional revenue on this incremental volume. Our storage agreements require our customers to make minimum payments based on the volume of storage capacity available to the customer under the agreement, which results in a fixed amount of recognized revenue.

We refer to the fixed amount of revenue recognized pursuant to our terminaling services agreements as being “firm commitments.” Revenue recognized in excess of firm commitments and revenue recognized based solely on the volume of product distributed or injected are referred to as “ancillary.” In addition, “ancillary” revenue also includes fees received from ancillary services including heating and mixing of stored products, product transfer, railcar handling, butane blending, proceeds from the sale of product gains, wharfage and vapor recovery.

The increase in terminaling services fees at our Gulf Coast terminals is primarily due to contracting available capacity and increased ancillary fees.

The increase in terminaling services fees at our Brownsville terminals is primarily a result of placing into service approximately 0.2 million barrels of new tank capacity and construction of gasoline railcar loading capabilities during the first quarter of 2021 and increased ancillary fees.

The decrease in terminaling services fees at our Southeast terminals is primarily due to available capacity at our Collins, Mississippi terminal and recontracting capacity at lower rates at our Collins, Mississippi terminal.

The increase in terminaling services fees at our West Coast terminals is primarily a result of placing various growth projects into service during the first quarter of 2022 and increased ancillary fees.

Included in terminaling services fees for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, are fees charged to affiliates of approximately $8.7 million and $9.2 million, respectively.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The information contained in this Item 3 updates, and should be read in conjunction with, information set forth in Part II, Item 7A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed on March 5, 202131, 2022 in addition to the interim unaudited consolidated financial statements, accompanying notes and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations presented in Part 1, Items 1 and 2 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. There are no material changes in the market risks faced by us from those reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.2021.

Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices. A principal market risk to which we are exposed is interest rate risk associated with borrowings under our revolving credit facility.the Credit Agreement. Borrowings under our revolving credit facilitythe Credit Agreement bear interest at either an adjusted LIBOR rate (subject to a 0.50% floor) plus an applicable margin of 3.50% or an alternate base rate plus an applicable margin of 2.50% per annum. We manage a portion of our interest rate risk with interest rate swaps, which reduce our exposure to changes in interest rates by converting variable rate based on LIBOR or the lender’s base rate.interest rates to fixed interest rates. At September 30, 2021,2022, we are party to interest rate swap agreements with an aggregate notional amount of $500 million that expire on August 18, 2025. Pursuant to the terms of the interest rate swap agreements, we pay a blended fixed rate of approximately 2.87% and receive interest payments based on the one-month LIBOR through July 17, 2023. Thereafter, we will receive interest payments based on the one-month CME Term SOFR. The net difference to be paid or received under the interest rate swap agreements will be settled monthly and recognized as an adjustment to interest expense.At September 30, 2022, we had outstanding borrowings of $345.0$1,022.5 million under our revolving credit facility.the Credit Agreement. Based on the outstanding balance of our variable-interest-rate debt, at September 30, 2021, assuming market interest rates increase or decrease by 100 basis points, the potential annual increase or decrease in interest expense is approximately $3.5$5.2 million.

We do not purchase or marketsell refined and renewable products that we handle or transportto major fuel producers and therefore, we do not have materialmarketers in the Pacific Northwest at our terminal operations in Tacoma and Seattle, Washington. Our direct exposure to changes in commodity prices except foris limited to these product sales and the value of product gains and losses arising from certain of our terminaling services agreements with certain customers, which accounts for a small portion of our customers.revenue. We do not use derivative commodity instruments to manage the commodity risk associated with the product we may own at any given time. Generally, to the extent we are entitled to retain product pursuant to terminaling services agreements with our customers, we sell the product to our customers on a contractually established periodic basis; the sales price is based on industry indices.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit to the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the Commission’s rules and forms, and that information is accumulated and communicated to the management of the Company, including the Company’s principal executive and principal financial officer (whom we refer to as the Certifying Officers), as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The management of the
