CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of federal securities laws. Forward-looking statements give our current expectations, contain projections of results of operations or of financial condition, or forecasts of future events. When used in this Quarterly Report, the words “could,” “may,” “should,” “will,” “seek,” “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “continue,” “estimate,” “plan,” “target,” “predict,” “project,” “attempt,” “is scheduled,” “likely,” “forecast,” the negatives thereof and other similar expressions are used to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain such identifying words. These forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations and assumptions about future events and are based on currently available information as to the outcome and timing of future events. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements.

When considering forward-looking statements, you should keep in mind the risk factors and other cautionary statements described in this Quarterly Report under the heading “Item 1A. Risk Factors”, and under the heading “Item 1A. Risk Factors” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 and the risk factors and other cautionary statements contained in our other filings with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.

You should also understand that it is not possible to predict or identify all such factors and should not consider the following list to be a complete statement of all potential risks and uncertainties. Factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from the results contemplated by such forward-looking statements include:

our ability to successfully implement our business strategy;
competitive conditions in our industry;
actions taken by third-party customers, producers, operators, processors and transporters;
pending legal or environmental matters;
costs of conducting our operations;
fluctuations in the price of the products that we purchase and sell;
our ability to complete internal growth projects on time and on budget;
general economic conditions, including inflation;
the price of oil, natural gas, natural gas liquids and other commodities in the energy industry;
large customer defaults;
rising interest rates;
operating hazards, global health epidemics, natural disasters, weather-related delays, cyber-security breaches, IT system outages, global or regional conflicts, casualty losses and other matters beyond our control;
uncertainty regarding our future operating results;
effects of existing and future laws and governmental regulations;
the effects of future litigation;
plans, objectives, expectations and intentions contained in this Quarterly Report that are not historical; and
public health crises, epidemics and pandemics, including the COVID-19 pandemic.

All forward-looking statements, expressed or implied, included in this Quarterly Report are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement. This cautionary statement should also be considered in connection with any subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements that we or persons acting on our behalf may issue.

Except as otherwise required by applicable law, we disclaim any duty to update any forward-looking statements, all of which are expressly qualified by the statements in this section, to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Quarterly Report.

Notes to consolidated financial statements (unaudited)

(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 in Tacoma, Washington.

(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 intercompany 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 JuneSeptember 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 and our results of operations for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2023 and 2022.

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. In 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. 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 operations

We generate revenue from terminaling services fees, management fees and product sales. Under Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”) and Topic 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 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

9

TransMontaigne Partners LLC and Subsidiaries

Notes to consolidated financial statements (unaudited) (continued)

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.”

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. The remaining firm commitments under our terminaling services agreements not accounted for as lease revenue are accounted for in accordance with ASC 606, 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 14 of Notes to consolidated financial statements).

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 Brownsville LLC (“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 SeaPort Midstream Partners, LLC (“SeaPort Midstream”) 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.

Product sales. Our product sales revenue refers to the sale of refined and renewable products at our terminal in Tacoma, 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

10

Table of Contents

TransMontaigne Partners LLC and Subsidiaries

Notes to consolidated financial statements (unaudited) (continued)

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.

(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 JuneSeptember 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, our refined products inventory was approximately $3.4$3.6 million and $4.1 million, respectively. At JuneSeptember 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, our renewable products inventory was approximately $3.3$1.5 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 sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2023 and 2022.

In 2021, the Washington legislature passed a low carbon fuel standard (the “Clean Fuel Standard” or “CFS”) that limits carbon in transportation fuels. The Clean Fuel Standard became effective January 1, 2023. As of January 1, 2023, we are required to purchase compliance credits or allowances to reduce emissions or reduce the amount of carbon in the transportation fuels we sell at our terminal in Tacoma, Washington. Fuels with a carbon intensity below the CFS generate compliance credits while fuels with a carbon intensity above the CFS generate deficits. We record our compliance credits net of deficits in inventory and recognize expense as cost of product sales when we transfer the compliance credit to our customers. To the extent we have not purchased enough compliance credits to satisfy our obligations as of the balance sheet date, we record a liability for our obligation to purchase the compliance credits in accrued liabilities and recognize the expense in cost of product sales when we satisfy the compliance obligation.

(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 not recognize any impairment charges during the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2023 and 2022.

(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

11

Table of Contents

TransMontaigne Partners LLC and Subsidiaries

Notes to consolidated financial statements (unaudited) (continued)

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 sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2023 and 2022.

(h) Environmental obligations

We accrue for environmental costs that relate to existing conditions caused by past operations when probable and reasonably estimable (See Note 9 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 4 of Notes to consolidated financial statements).

In connection with our acquisition of the Florida, Midwest, Brownsville, Texas, River and Southeast terminals and facilities, a third party agreed to indemnify us against certain potential 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.

(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.

(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. Changes in the fair value of our derivative instruments are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations. At JuneSeptember 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, our derivative instruments were limited to interest rate swap agreements. The fair value of our interest rate swap agreements are determined using a pricing model based on applicable swap rates and other observable market data. At JuneSeptember 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the fair value of our interest rate swap agreements was approximately $25.6$36.9 million and $15.9 million, respectively (See Notes 4 and 8 of Notes to consolidated financial statements).

Notes to consolidated financial statements (unaudited) (continued)

Pursuant to the terms of the interest rate swap agreements, we pay a blended fixed rate and receive interest payments based on the one-month London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) through July 17, 2023. Thereafter, we pay a blended fixed rate2023, and will receive interest payments based on the one-month Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) or Overnight Indexed Swap (“OIS”) compound SOFR.SOFR for periods after July 17, 2023. 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. For the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2023 and 2022, we recognized an unrealized gain on interest rate swap agreements of approximately $17.3$11.3 million and $nil,$15.8 million, respectively. For the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2023 and 2022, we recognized an unrealized gain on interest rate swap agreements of approximately $9.7$21.0 million and $nil,$15.8 million, respectively.

Our interest rate swap agreements at June 30, 2023 were as follows:

(k) Income taxes

No 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 FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate ReformFacilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, which provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. This guidance was effective prospectively upon issuance through December 31, 2022. In December 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-06, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848), Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848, which defers the sunset date of Topic 848 from December 31, 2022 to December 31, 2024. We do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have an impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

(3) 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, renewable 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.

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 15 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 JuneSeptember 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, our Brownsville and West Coast terminals contained goodwill. We did not recognize any goodwill impairment charges during the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2023 or during the year ended December 31, 2022 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.

Accrued Washington State emissions allowances. The Washington State Climate Commitment Act (“CCA”), implemented January 1, 2023, was designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Rules implementing the CCA by the Washington Department of Ecology set a cap on greenhouse gas emissions, provide mechanisms for the sale and tracking of tradable emissions allowances, and establish additional compliance and accountability measures. Accrued Washington State emissions allowances represent our obligation under the CCA to obtain emissions allowances for certain products sold at the truck rack at our Tacoma, Washington terminal. We record the emissions allowance obligation at market value, net of allowances purchased and record the associated expense as cost of product sales when certain products are sold at the truck rack at our Tacoma, Washington terminal.

Accrued environmental obligations. At JuneSeptember 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we have accrued environmental obligations of approximately $1.0 million and $1.4 million, respectively, representing our best estimate of our remediation obligations. During the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2023, we made payments of approximately $0.2$0.3 million towards our environmental remediation obligations. During the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2023, we decreased our estimate of our future environmental remediation costs by approximately $0.2$0.1 million. Changes in our estimates of our future environmental remediation obligations may occur as a result of the passage of time and the occurrence of future events.

Credit agreement. On November 17, 2021, the Company and TransMontaigne Operating Company L.P., our wholly owned subsidiary, entered into the Credit Agreement (“Credit Agreement”) for a $1 billion senior secured term loan and a $150 million revolving credit facility, with a letter of credit subfacility of $35 million. The senior secured term loan will mature on November 17, 2028 and the revolving credit facility will terminate (a) on November 14, 2025 in the event the 6.125% senior notes due in 2026 are not refinanced on or prior to such date or (b) in the event the senior notes have been refinanced on or prior to November 14, 2025, the earlier of (i) the new maturity date of the refinanced senior notes and (ii) November 17, 2026. Our obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by the Company, TransMontaigne Operating Company L.P. and all of its subsidiaries, and secured by a first priority security interest in favor of the lenders in substantially all of the Company’s, TransMontaigne Operating Company L.P.’s and all of its subsidiaries’ assets, including our investments in unconsolidated affiliates.

We may elect to have loans under the Credit Agreement bear interest, at either an adjusted LIBOR rate through June 9, 2023, thereafter, a Term SOFR rate plus .11448% (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 are also required to pay (i) a letter of credit fee of 3.50% per annum on the aggregate face amount of all outstanding letters of credit, (ii) to the issuing lender of each letter of credit, a fronting fee of no less than 0.125% per annum on the outstanding amount of each such letter of credit

per annum on the outstanding amount of each such letter of credit and (iii) commitment fees of 0.50% per annum on the daily unused amount of the revolving credit facility, in each case quarterly in arrears.

The Credit Agreement contains various covenants, including, but not limited to, limitations on the incurrence of indebtedness, permitted investments, liens on assets, making distributions, transactions with affiliates, mergers, consolidations, dispositions of assets and other provisions customary in similar types of agreements. The Credit Agreement requires compliance with (a) a debt service coverage ratio of no less than 1.1 to 1.0 and (b) if the aggregate outstanding amount of all revolving loans and drawn letters of credit exceeds an amount equal to 35% of the aggregate revolving commitments, a consolidated senior secured net leverage ratio of no greater than 6.75 to 1.00. We were in compliance with all financial covenants as of and during the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2023 and the year ended December 31, 2022.

For the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2023 and 2022, the weighted average interest rate on borrowings was approximately 7.3%7.5% and 4.2%5.7%, respectively. At both JuneSeptember 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, our outstanding letters of credit were approximately $0.4 million.

Senior notes. On February 12, 2018, the Company and TLP Finance Corp., our wholly owned subsidiary, issued at par $300 million of 6.125% senior notes.

(11) DEFERRED COMPENSATION EXPENSE

We have a savings and retention plan to compensate certain employees who provide services to the Company. The purpose of the savings and retention plan is to provide for the reward and retention of participants by providing them with awards that vest over future service periods. 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.

We have the intent and ability to settle the savings and retention plan awards in cash, and accordingly, we account for the awards as accrued liabilities. For savings and retention plan awards to employees, approximately $0.5 million and $0.4 million is included in deferred compensation expense for both of the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. For savings and retention plan awards to employees, approximately $1.6$2.0 million and $1.4$1.7 million is included in deferred compensation expense for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

On December 31, 2021, an indirect parent of the Company modified existing grants of class B units in the indirect parent of the Company to certain officers of TransMontaigne Management Company. For both of the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2023 and 2022, we recognized approximately $0.4 million and $0.8$1.3 million, respectively, of

respectively, of deferred compensation expense in our consolidated statements of operations, non-cash contribution from parent entities in our consolidated statements of equity and non-cash equity-based compensation in our consolidated statements of cash flows related to the portion of the class B units that vested on December 31, 2021.

(12) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Lessee 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 48 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 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 debt agreements. The terms of our corporate offices, vehicles and land leases are in line with 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. Non-lease components include payments for taxes and other operating and maintenance expenses incurred by the lessor but payable by us in connection with the leasing arrangement. During the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company was party to certain subleasing arrangements whereby the Company, as the primary obligor on the lease, has recognized sublease income for lease payments made by affiliates to the lessor.

Contract commitments. At JuneSeptember 30, 2023, we have contractual commitments of approximately $30.4$30.6 million for the supply of services, labor and materials related to capital projects that currently are under development. We expect that these contractual commitments will primarily be paid within a year.

Legal proceedings. We are party to various legal, regulatory and other matters arising from the day-to-day operations of our business that may result in claims against us. While the ultimate impact of any proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, our management believes that the resolution of any of our pending legal proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

(13) 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 sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2023 and 2022. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments at JuneSeptember 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

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 applicable swap rates 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 $984.6 million senior secured term loan at June 30, 2023 was approximately $972.2 million based on observable market trades. The estimated fair value of our $299.9 million publicly

23

Table of Contents

TransMontaigne Partners LLC and Subsidiaries

Notes to consolidated financial statements (unaudited) (continued)

Debt. The estimated fair value of our $982.5 million senior secured term loan at September 30, 2023 was approximately $980 million based on observable market trades. The estimated fair value of our $299.9 million publicly traded senior notes at JuneSeptember 30, 2023 was approximately $259.0$256.8 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 fair value of our debt is categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Non-financial assets. The Company’s non-financial assets, which primarily consist of property and equipment, right-of-use assets, goodwill and other intangible assets, are not required by GAAP to be carried at fair value on a recurring basis and are reported at carrying value. The fair values of these assets are determined, as required by GAAP, based on Level 3 measurements, including estimates of the amount and timing of future cash flows based upon historical experience, expected market conditions, and management’s plans.

(14) REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS

The majority of our terminaling services agreements contain minimum payment arrangements, resulting in a fixed amount of revenue recognized, which we refer to as “firm commitments” and are accounted for in accordance with ASC 842, Leases (“ASC 842 revenue”). The remainder is recognized in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606 revenue”).

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 9 of Notes to consolidated financial statements).

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

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

Effective upon his retirement as Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Boutin became the Executive Chairman of the Board of Directors of an indirect parent of the Company.

Mr. Maffett holds a B.S. in Petroleum Engineering from Louisiana State University.

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 JuneSeptember 30, 2023. Certain of these accounting policies require the use of estimates. In 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. 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 JUNESEPTEMBER 30, 2023 AND 2022

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 Frontera, (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. In addition, Central services represent the cost of employees at standalone affiliate terminals that we operate or manage. We receive a fee from these affiliates 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

Table of Contents

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.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our primary liquidity needs are to fund our debt service obligations, working capital requirements and capital projects, including additional investments and expansion, development and acquisition opportunities. We expect to fund any additional investments, capital projects and future expansion, development and acquisition opportunities with cash flows from operations and additional borrowings under our revolving credit facility.

The approximately $27.4$6.9 million decrease in net cash provided by operating activities is primarily attributable to the timing of working capital requirements.

The approximately $22.9 million decrease in net cash used in investing activities is primarily related to a $25 million affiliate loan to our indirect parent, Pike Petroleum Holdings, LLC, on March 30, 2022. The affiliate loan was repaid with interest on November 30, 2022.

Additional investments and expansion capital projects at our terminals have been approved and currently are, or will be, under construction with estimated completion dates through 2025. At JuneSeptember 30, 2023, the remaining expenditures to complete the approved projects are estimated to be approximately $30$25 million. These expenditures primarily relate to the construction costs associated with the expansion of our Southeast and West Coast operations.

The approximately $23.5$17.0 million changeincrease in net cash provided by (used)used in financing activities is primarily related to an approximately $56$65 million increase in net borrowings under our revolving credit facility to fund a $75 million distribution to TLP Finance Holdings, LLC for debt service in February 2023.

Credit agreement. On November 17, 2021, the Company and TransMontaigne Operating Company L.P., our wholly owned subsidiary, entered into the Credit Agreement for a $1 billion senior secured term loan and a $150 million revolving credit facility, with a letter of credit subfacility of $35 million. The senior secured term loan will mature on November 17, 2028 and the revolving credit facility will terminate (a) on November 14, 2025 in the event our 6.125% senior notes due in 2026 are not refinanced on or prior to such date or (b) in the event the senior notes have been refinanced on or prior to November 14, 2025, the earlier of (i) the new maturity date of the refinanced senior notes and (ii) November 17, 2026. Our obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by the Company, TransMontaigne Operating Company L.P. and all of its subsidiaries, and secured by a first priority security interest in favor of the lenders in substantially all of the Company’s, TransMontaigne Operating Company L.P.’s and all of its subsidiaries’ assets, including our investments in unconsolidated affiliates.

We may elect to have loans under the Credit Agreement bear interest, at either an adjusted LIBOR through June 9, 2023, thereafter, a Term SOFR plus .11448% (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 are also required to pay (i) a letter of credit fee of 3.50% per annum on the aggregate face amount of all outstanding letters of credit, (ii) to the issuing lender of each letter of credit, a fronting fee of no less than 0.125% per annum on the outstanding amount of each such letter of credit and (iii) commitment fees of 0.50% per annum on the daily unused amount of the revolving credit facility, in each case quarterly in arrears.

The Credit Agreement contains various covenants, including, but not limited to, limitations on the incurrence of indebtedness, permitted investments, liens on assets, making distributions, transactions with affiliates, mergers, consolidations, dispositions of assets and other provisions customary in similar types of agreements. The Credit Agreement requires compliance with (a) a debt service coverage ratio of no less than 1.1 to 1.0 and (b) if the aggregate outstanding amount of all revolving loans and drawn letters of credit exceeds an amount equal to 35% of the aggregate revolving commitments, a consolidated senior secured net leverage ratio of no greater than 6.75 to 1.00. We were in compliance with all financial covenants as of and during the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2023 and the year ended December 31, 2022.

If we were to fail a financial performance covenant, or any other covenant contained in the Credit Agreement, we would seek a waiver from our lenders under such facility. If we were unable to obtain a waiver from our lenders and the default remained uncured after any applicable grace period, we would be in breach of the Credit Agreement, and the lenders would be entitled to declare all outstanding borrowings immediately due and payable.

Senior notes. On February 12, 2018, the Company and TLP Finance Corp., our wholly owned subsidiary, issued at par $300 million of 6.125% senior notes, due in 2026. The senior notes remain outstanding and the Company is voluntarily filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the covenants contained in the senior notes. The senior notes contain customary covenants (including those relating to our voluntary filing of this report and certain restrictions and obligations with respect to types of payments we may make, indebtedness we may incur, transactions we may pursue, or changes in our control) and customary events of default (including those relating to monetary defaults, covenant defaults, cross defaults and bankruptcy events). We may, at any time and from time to time, seek to retire or purchase our outstanding debt through cash purchases, open-market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Such repurchases, if any, will be upon such terms and at such prices as we may determine, and will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors. The amounts involved may be material.

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 10, 2023 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, 2022.

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 the Credit Agreement. Borrowings under the

4042

Table of Contents

Credit Agreement bear interest at either an adjusted LIBOR through June 9, 2023, thereafter, a Term SOFR plus .11448% (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 interest rates to fixed interest rates. At JuneSeptember 30, 2023, $500$780 million of our outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement was converted from variable interest rates to fixed interest rates with interest rate swap agreements that expire on August 18, 2026.2026 and August 18, 2028. Pursuant to the terms of the interest rate swap agreements, we pay a blended fixed rate and receive interest payments based on the one-month LIBOR through July 17, 2023. Thereafter, we pay a blended fixed rate2023, and will receive interest payments based on the one-month Term SOFR or OIS compound SOFR.SOFR for periods after July 17, 2023. 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 JuneSeptember 30, 2023, we had outstanding borrowings of $1,065.6$1,077.5 million under the Credit Agreement. Based on the outstanding balance of our variable-interest-rate debt, assuming market interest rates increase or decrease by 100 basis points, the potential annual increase or decrease in interest expense is approximately $5.7$3.0 million.

We sell refined and renewable products to major fuel producers and marketers in the Pacific Northwest at our terminal in Tacoma, Washington. Our direct exposure to changes in commodity prices is limited to these product sales and the value of product gains and losses arising from terminaling services agreements with certain customers, which accounts for a small portion of our revenue. We do not use derivative commodity instruments to manage the commodity risk associated with the product we may own at any given time.

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 Company evaluated, with the participation of the Certifying Officers, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of JuneSeptember 30, 2023, pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, the Certifying Officers concluded that, as of JuneSeptember 30, 2023, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Part II. Other Information

Risk Factors” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on March 10, 2023, which could materially affect our business, financial condition, or future results. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, or future results.
