CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Form 10-Q (including information incorporated by reference) contains certain “forward-looking statements,” as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, which involve risks and uncertainties. You can identify forward-looking statements because they contain words such as “believes,” “expects,” “may,” “should,” “seeks,” “approximately,” “intends,” “plans,” “estimates,”“estimates” or “anticipates” or similar expressions that relate to our strategy, plans or intentions. All statements we make relating to our estimated and projected earnings, margins, costs, expenditures, cash flows, growth rates and financial results or to our expectations regarding future industry trends are forward-looking statements. In addition, we, through our senior management, from time to time, make forward-looking public statements concerning our expected future operations and performance and other developments. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that may change at any time, and,time; therefore, our actual results may differ materially from those that we expected. We derive many of our forward-looking statements from our operating budgets and forecasts, which are based uponon many detailed assumptions. While we believe that our assumptions are reasonable, we caution that it is very difficult to predict the impact of known factors and, of course, it is impossible for us to anticipate all factors that could affect our actual results.
Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations, which we refer to as “cautionary statements,” are disclosed under “Item 1A. Risk Factors,”Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” andOperations,” elsewhere in this Form 10-Q;10-Q, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, which we refer to as our 20162019 (our “2019 Form 10-K; in our Form 8-K issued May 11, 2017, which retrospectively adjusted items 6, 7 and 8 of our 2016 Form 10-K to give effect to the acquisition of PNGPC,10-K”) and in our other filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). All forward-looking information in this Form 10-Q and subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us, or persons acting on our behalf, are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements. Some of the factors that we believe couldaffect our results include:
our limited operating history as a separate public partnership;
changes in general economic conditions;conditions, including market and macro-economic disruptions resulting from the coronavirus disease 2019 (“COVID-19”) pandemic and related governmental and consumer responses;
our ability to make, complete and integrate acquisitions from affiliates or third parties;parties, and to realize the benefits from such acquisitions;
our ability to have sufficient cash from operations to enable us to pay the minimum quarterly distribution;
competitive conditions in our industry;
actions taken by our customers and competitors;
the supply of, and demand for, crude oil, refined products, natural gas and logistics services;
our ability to successfully implement our business plan;
our dependence on PBF Energy for a substantial majority of our revenues, whichrevenue subjects us to the business risks of PBF Energy, which include the possibility that contracts will not be renewed because they are no longer beneficial for PBF Energy;
a substantial majority of our revenue is generated at certain of PBF Energy’s facilities, particularly at PBF Energy’s Delaware City, Toledo and Torrance refineries, and any adverse development at any of these facilities could have a material adverse effect on us;
our ability to complete internal growth projects on time and on budget;
the price and availability of debt and equity financing;
operating hazards and other risks incidental to handlingthe processing of crude oil petroleumand the receiving, handling, storage and transferring of crude oil, refined products, natural gas and natural gas;

intermediates;


34




natural disasters, weather-related delays, casualty losses and other matters beyond our control;
the threat of cyber-attacks;
our and PBF Energy’s increased dependence on technology;
interest rates;
labor relations;
changes in the availability and cost of capital;
the effects of existing and future laws and governmental regulations, including those related to the shipment of crude oil by trains;rail;
changes in insurance markets impacting costs and the level and types of coverage available;
the timing and extent of changes in commodity prices and demand for PBF Energy’s refined products and natural gas and the differential in the prices of different crude oils;
the suspension, reduction or termination of PBF Energy’s obligations under our commercial agreements;
disruptions due to equipment interruption or failure at our facilities, PBF Energy’s facilities or third-party facilities on which our business is dependent;
incremental costs as a separate public partnership;
our general partner and its affiliates, including PBF Energy, have conflicts of interest with us and limited duties to us and our unitholders, and they may favor their own interests to the detriment of us and our other common unitholders;
our partnership agreement restricts the remedies available to holders of our common units for actions taken by our general partner that might otherwise constitute breaches of fiduciary duty;
holders of our common units have limited voting rights and are not entitled to elect our general partner or its directors;
our tax treatment depends on our status as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as well as our not being subject to a material amount of entity level taxation by individual states;
changes at any time (including on a retroactive basis) in the tax treatment of publicly traded partnerships, including related impacts on potential dropdown transactions with PBF LLC, or an investment in our common units;
our unitholders will be required to pay taxes on their share of our taxable income even if they do not receive any cash distributions from us;
the effects of future litigation; and
other factors discussed elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.
We caution you that the foregoing list of important factors may not contain all of the material factors that are important to you. In addition, in light of these risks and uncertainties, the matters referred to in the forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-Q may not in fact occur. Accordingly, investors should not place undue reliance on those statements.
Our forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this Form 10-Q. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States,U.S., we undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the foregoing.

1. DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION


PBF Logistics LP (“PBFX” or the “Partnership”) is a Delaware master limited partnership formed in February 2013. PBF Logistics GP LLC (“PBF GP” or “our general partner”) serves as the general partner of PBFX. PBF GP is wholly-owned by PBF Energy Company LLC (“PBF LLC”). PBF Energy Inc. (“PBF Energy”) is the sole managing member of PBF LLC and, as of September 30, 2017,2020, owned 96.6%99.2% of the total economic interest in PBF LLC. In addition, PBF LLC is the sole managing member of PBF Holding Company LLC (“PBF Holding”), a Delaware limited liability company and affiliate of PBFX. PBF LLC owns 18,459,497 of PBFX’sowned 29,953,631 PBFX common units constituting an aggregate 44.1%of 48.0% limited partner interest in PBFX, and owns all of PBFX’s incentive distribution rights (“IDRs”), with the remaining 55.9%52.0% limited partner interest owned by public unitholders as of September 30, 2017.2020.


PBFX engages in the processing of crude oil and the receiving, handling, storage and transferring of crude oil, refined products, natural gas and intermediates. The Partnership does not take ownership of or receive any payments based on the value of the crude oil, products, natural gas or intermediates that it handles and does not engage in the trading of any commodities. PBFX’s assets are integral to the operations of PBF Holding’s refineries.

On February 28, 2017, the Partnership’s wholly-owned subsidiary, PBFX Operating Company LP (“PBFX Op Co”), acquired from PBF LLC all the issuedrefineries, and, outstanding limited liability company interests of Paulsboro Natural Gas Pipeline Company LLC (“PNGPC”) for an aggregate purchase price of $11,600 (the “PNGPC Acquisition”). PNGPC owns and operates an existing interstate natural gas pipeline which serves PBF Holding’s Paulsboro Refinery (the “Paulsboro Natural Gas Pipeline”) and is subject to regulation by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (“FERC”). In connection with the PNGPC Acquisition, the Partnership constructed a new pipeline (the “New Pipeline”) to replace the existing pipeline, which commenced services in August 2017. This acquisition was accounted for as a transfer of assets between entities under common control under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Refer to Note 2 “Acquisitions” of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion regarding the PNGPC Acquisition.

Effective February 2017, PBFX Op Co assumed construction of a crude oil storage tank at PBF Holding’s Chalmette Refinery (the “Chalmette Storage Tank”), which is expected to be in service and operational during the fourth quarter of 2017. PBFX Op Co and Chalmette Refining, L.L.C. (“Chalmette Refining”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of PBF Holding, have entered into a twenty-year lease for the premises upon which the tank will be located and the Project Management Agreement (as defined in Note 10 “Related Party Transactions” of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements) pursuant to which Chalmette Refining has managed the construction of the tank. 

On April 17, 2017, the Partnership’s wholly-owned subsidiary, PBF Logistics Products Terminals LLC (“PLPT”), acquired the Toledo, Ohio refined products terminal assets (the “Toledo Terminal”) from Sunoco Logistics Partners L.P. (the “Seller”) for an aggregate purchase price of $10,000, plus working capital (the “Toledo Terminal Acquisition”). The Toledo Terminal is directly connected to, and currently supplied by, PBF Holding’s Toledo Refinery. This acquisition was accounted for as a business combination under GAAP. Refer to Note 2 “Acquisitions” of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion regarding the Toledo Terminal Acquisition.

Subsequent to the Partnership’s initial public offering (the “Offering”), the Acquisitions from PBF (as defined below), the purchase of the four refined product terminals located in and around Philadelphia (the “East Coast Terminals”) and the Toledo Terminal Acquisition,result, the Partnership continues to generate a substantial majority of its revenue from transactions with PBF Holding. Additionally, certain of PBFX’s assets generate revenue from third-party transactions.


Business Developments

On October 1, 2018, we acquired from Crown Point International LLC (“Crown Point”), its wholly-owned subsidiary, CPI Operations LLC (“CPI”). In connection with the acquisition, the purchase and sale agreement included an earn-out provision related to an existing commercial agreement with a third party, based on the future results of certain acquired idled assets, which recommenced operations in October 2019. Pursuant to the terms of the commercial agreement, in the third quarter of 2020, the counterparty exercised its right to terminate the contract at the conclusion of the current contract year, resulting in an adjustment to the Contingent Consideration (as defined in Note 10 “Commitments and Contingencies” of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements). Refer to Note 10 “Commitments and Contingencies” of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion. In addition, as a result of the contract termination, the Partnership recorded an impairment charge to write-down the related processing unit assets and customer contract intangible asset of $3,000 and $4,000, respectively. The impairment charge represents a write-down of the CPI assets due to the reduction of future earnings as a result of the contract termination. The fair values of the assets were determined using the income approach and was based on the expected future net cash flows over the remaining contractual period. Level 3 assumptions were used in the calculation to determine the net cash flows used in the impairment analysis. The assumptions included an estimate of future revenue based on the terms of the contract, an estimate of operating and maintenance expenses associated with the operation of the assets and an estimate of the cost to shut-down the facility at the conclusion of the contractual period. Refer to Note 5 “Property, Plant and Equipment, Net” and Note 6 “Goodwill and Intangibles” of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.

RecentRecently Adopted Accounting PronouncementsGuidance


In August 2015,June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”(the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2015-14, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers2016-13, “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 606): Deferral326); Measurement of the Effective Date”Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” (“ASU 2015-14”2016-13”), which defers. This guidance amends the effectiveguidance on measuring credit losses on financial assets held at amortized cost. ASU 2016-13 requires the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date of ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASU 2014-09”) for all entities by one year. Additional ASUs have been issued in 2016based on historical experience, current conditions and 2017 that provide certain implementationreasonable and supportable forecasts. This guidance related to ASU 2014-09 (collectively, the Partnership refers to ASU 2014-09 and these additional ASUs as the “Updated Revenue Recognition Guidance”). The Updated Revenue Recognition Guidance will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in GAAP when it becomes effective. Under ASU 2015-14, this guidance becomesis effective for interim and annual periodsfiscal years beginning after December 15, 20172019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Partnership adopted ASU 2016-13 effective January 1, 2020. The adoption of ASU 2016-13 did not have a material impact on the Partnership’s condensed consolidated financial statements. Refer to Note 4 “Current Expected Credit Losses” of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further disclosure related to the adoption of this pronouncement.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting” (“ASU 2020-04”). The amendments in ASU 2020-04 provide optional guidance to alleviate the burden in accounting for reference rate reform by allowing certain expedients and permitsexceptions in applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions affected by the useexpected market transition from London Interbank Offering Rate, also known as LIBOR, and other interbank rates. The amendments in ASU 2020-04 are effective for all entities at any time beginning on March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022 and may be applied from the beginning of eitheran interim period that includes the retrospectiveissuance date of ASU 2020-04. The Partnership is currently evaluating the impact of this new standard on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

PBFX recognizes revenue by charging fees for crude oil and refined products terminaling, pipeline, storage and processing services based on contractual rates applied to the greater of contractual minimum volume commitments (“MVCs”), as applicable, or actual volumes transferred, stored or processed.

Minimum Volume Commitments

Transportation and Terminaling Segment

The Partnership’s Transportation and Terminaling segment consists of product terminals, pipelines, crude unloading facilities and other facilities capable of transporting and handling crude oil, refined products and natural gas. Certain of the affiliate and third-party Transportation and Terminaling commercial agreements contain MVCs. Under these commercial agreements, if the Partnership’s customer fails to transport its minimum throughput volumes during any specified period, the customer will pay the Partnership has establishedan amount equal to the difference in actual volumes transported and/or throughput and the minimum volumes required under the agreement multiplied by the applicable contractual rate (each a working group to assess the Updated Revenue Recognition Guidance, including its impact “deficiency payment”). Deficiency payments are initially recorded as deferred revenueon the Partnership’s business processes, accounting systems, controls and financial statement disclosures.balance sheets for all contracts in which the MVC deficiency makeup period is contractually longer than a fiscal quarter.

Certain of the Partnership’s customers may apply deficiency payment amounts as a credit against volumes throughput in excess of its MVC, as applicable, during subsequent quarters under the terms of the applicable agreement. The Partnership will adopt this new standard effective January 1, 2018, usingrecognizes operating revenue for the modified retrospective application. Under that method,deficiency payments when credits are used for volumes transported in excess of MVCs or at the cumulative effectend of initially applying the standard iscontractual period. Unused credits determined to have a remote chance of being utilized by customers in the future are recognized as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings, and revenues reportedoperating revenue in the periods priorperiod when that determination is made. The use or recognition of the credits is recorded as a reduction to the date of adoption are not changed. deferred revenue.

Storage Segment

The working group is progressing through its implementation planPartnership earns storage revenue under crude oil and continues to evaluate the impact of this new standard on the Partnership’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. Additionally,refined products storage contracts. In addition, the Partnership has begun training the relevant staffearns storage revenue under its processing agreement at its corporate headquartersEast Coast storage facility. Certain of these affiliate and at PBF Holding's refineries onthird-party contracts contain capacity reservation agreements, under which the Updated Revenue Recognition Guidance, including potential impacts on internal reporting and disclosure requirements. Although the Partnership’s analysis of the new standard is stillPartnership collects a fee for reserving storage capacity for customers in process and interpretative and industry specific guidance is still developing,its facilities. Customers generally pay reservation fees based on the results to date, we have reached tentative conclusions for most contract types and do not believe revenue recognition patterns will change materially. However, it is expected thatlevel of storage capacity reserved rather than the new standard will have some impact on presentation and disclosures in its financial statements and internal controls.actual volumes stored.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)” (“ASU 2016-02”), to increase the transparency and comparability about leases among entities. The new guidance requires lessees to recognize a lease liability and a corresponding lease asset for virtually all lease contracts. It also requires additional disclosures about leasing arrangements. ASU 2016-02 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and requires a modified retrospective approach to adoption. Early adoption is permitted. The Partnership has established a working group to study the new guidance in ASU 2016-02. This working group was formed during 2016 and has begun the process of compiling a central repository for all leases the Partnership and its subsidiaries entered into for further analysis as the implementation project progresses. It is not anticipated that the Partnership will early adopt this new guidance. The working group continues to evaluate the impact of this new standard on the Partnership’s Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures. At this time, the Partnership has identified that the most significant impacts of this new guidance will be to bring nearly all leases on its balance sheet with “right of use assets” and “lease obligation liabilities” as well as accelerating the interest expense component of financing leases. The working group is in the early stages of its implementation plan and continues to evaluate the impact of this new standard, including certain industry specific issues on the Partnership’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business” (“ASU 2017-01”), which provides guidance to assist entities with evaluating when a set of transferred assets and activities is a business. Under ASU 2017-01, it is expected that the definition of a business will be narrowed and more consistently applied. ASU 2017-01 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those periods. The amendments in ASU 2017-01 should be applied prospectively on or after the effective date. Early adoption is permitted, and the Partnership early adopted the new standard in its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures effective January 1, 2017.

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, “Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting” (“ASU 2017-09”), which provides guidance to provide clarity and reduce both diversity in practice and cost and complexity when applying the guidance in Topic 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation, to a change to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award. The amendments in ASU 2017-09 require an entity to account for the effects of a modification unless all the following are met: (i) the fair value of the modified award is the same as the fair value of the original award immediately before the original award is modified. If the modification does not affect any of the inputs to the valuation technique that the entity uses to value the award, the entity is not required to estimate the value immediately before and after the modification; (ii) the vesting conditions of the modified award are the same as the vesting conditions of the original award immediately before the original award is modified; and (iii) the classification of the modified award as an equity instrument or a liability instrument is the same as the classification of the original award immediately before the original award is modified. The guidance in ASU 2017-09 should be applied prospectively. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within

Leases

Lessor Disclosures

The Partnership has leased certain of its assets under lease agreements with varying terms up to fifteen years, including leases of storage, terminaling, pipeline and processing assets. Certain of these leases include options to extend or renew the lease for one or more years. These options are included in the lease term when it is reasonably certain that the option will applybe exercised.

However, in connection with the affiliate lease agreement for the interstate natural gas pipeline at PBF Holding’s Paulsboro Refinery (the “Paulsboro Natural Gas Pipeline”), the Partnership closed the PNGPC Acquisition, which had been contemplated bygranted a contribution agreement dated asright of February 15, 2017 betweenfirst refusal in favor of PBF LLC such that the Partnership andwould be required to give PBF LLC (the “PNGPC Contribution Agreement”). PursuantHolding the first opportunity to the PNGPC Contribution Agreement, the Partnership, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, PBFX Op Co, acquired from PBF LLC all of the issued and outstanding limited liability company interests of PNGPC, which owns and operatespurchase the Paulsboro Natural Gas Pipeline at market value prior to selling to an existing interstate natural gas pipeline which serves PBF Holding’s Paulsboro Refinery and is subject to regulation by the FERC. In connection with the PNGPC Acquisition,unrelated third party.

At inception, the Partnership constructeddetermines if an arrangement contains a lease and whether that lease meets the New Pipelineclassification criteria of a finance or operating lease. As of September 30, 2020, all of the Partnership’s leases have been determined to replacebe operating leases. Some of the existing pipeline, which commenced services in August 2017.

In considerationPartnership’s lease arrangements contain lease components (e.g., MVCs) and non-lease components (e.g., maintenance, labor charges, etc.). The Partnership accounts for the PNGPC limited liability company interests,lease and non-lease components as a single lease component for every asset class.

Certain of the Partnership’s lease agreements include MVCs that are adjusted periodically based on a specified index or rate. The leases are initially measured using the projected payments adjusted for the index or rate in effect at the commencement date. The Partnership’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

The Partnership expects to derive significant future benefits from its leased assets following the end of the lease term, as the remaining useful life would be sufficient to allow the Partnership delivered to PBF LLC (i) an $11,600 intercompany promissory note in favorenter into new leases for such assets.

In the normal course of Paulsboro Refining Company LLC (“PRC”), a wholly-owned subsidiary ofbusiness, the Partnership enters into contracts with PBF Holding (the “Affiliate Note Payable”), (ii) an expansion rights and rightits refineries whereby PBF Holding and its refineries lease certain of first refusal agreement in favor of PBF LLCthe Partnership’s storage, terminaling and pipeline assets. The Partnership believes the terms and conditions under these leases are generally no less favorable to either party than those that could have been negotiated with unaffiliated parties with respect to similar services. The terms for these affiliate leases range from one to fifteen years. Leases with affiliates represent approximately 95% of the New Pipeline and (iii) an assignment and assumption agreement with respect to certain outstanding litigation involving PNGPC and the existing pipeline. As the PNGPC Acquisition was considered a transfer of assets between entities under common control, the PNGPC assets and liabilities were transferred at their historical carrying value, whose net value was $11,538 as of February 28, 2017. The financial information contained herein of PBFX has been retrospectively adjusted to include the historical results of PNGPC as if it was owned by the Partnership for all periods presented. Net loss attributable to the PNGPC Acquisition prior to the effective date was allocated entirely to PBF GP as if only PBF GP had rights to that net loss; therefore, there is no retrospective adjustment to netundiscounted contractual future rental income per unit.

The following tables presentfrom the Partnership’s statement of financial position and results of operations giving retrospective effect to the PNGPC Acquisition. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, and the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively, the results of PNGPC prior to the PNGPC Acquisition are included under “PNGPC.” Results of PNGPC subsequent to the acquisition are included in “PBF Logistics LP.”leased assets.

The Partnership may require security in the form of letters of credit or cash payments in advance of product and services delivery for certain customers that are deemed higher risk. Additionally, the Partnership may hold customers’ product in storage at its facilities as collateral and/or deny access to its facilities, as allowable under commercial law or its contractual agreements, should payment not be received.

Fair Value Measurement


A fair value hierarchy (Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3) is used to categorize fair value amounts based on the quality of inputs used to measure fair value. Accordingly, fair values derived from Level 1 inputs utilize quoted

PBF LOGISTICS LP

(IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT BARREL, DEKATHERM, UNIT AND PER UNIT DATA)


prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Fair values derived from Level 2 inputs are based on quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs other than quoted prices that are either directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability.

Debt or equity securities are classified into the following reporting categories: held-to-maturity, trading or available-for-sale securities. While PBFX does not routinely sell marketable securities prior to their scheduled maturity dates, some of PBFX’s investments may be held and restricted for the purpose of funding future capital expenditures and acquisitions. Such investments are classified as available-for-sale marketable securities as they may occasionally be sold prior to their scheduled maturity dates due to the unexpected timing of cash needs. The carrying value of these marketable securities approximates fair value and is measured using Level 1 inputs. The terms of the marketable securities range from one to three months and are classified on the balance sheet as current assets. The gross unrecognized holding gains and losses as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 were not material. As of September 30, 2017, PBFX has liquidated the remaining marketable securities.

Allocations of Net Income


PBFX’s partnership agreement contains provisions for the allocation of net income and loss to the unitholders. For purposes of maintaining partner capital accounts, PBFX’s partnership agreement specifies that items of income and loss shall be allocated among the partners in accordance with their respective percentage interest. Normal allocations according to percentage interests are made after giving effect, if any, to priority income allocations in an amount equal to incentive cash distributions allocated 100% to PBF LLC.

7. UNIT-BASED COMPENSATION

PBF GP’s board of directors adopted the LTIP in connection with the completion of the Offering. The LTIP is for the benefit of employees, consultants, service providers and non-employee directors of the general partner and its affiliates.

Under the LTIP, PBFX issues phantom unit awards to certain directors, officers, and seconded employees of our general partner or its affiliates and its employees as compensation. The fair value of each phantom unit on the grant date is equal to the market price of PBFX’s common units on that date. The estimated fair value of PBFX’s phantom units is generally amortized over the vesting period of four years, using the straight-line method.

Unit-based compensation expense related to the Partnership that was included in general and administrative expense in the Partnership’s condensed consolidated statements of operations was $807 and $4,515 for the three

8.9. NET INCOME PER UNIT


Earnings in excess of distributions are allocated to the limited partners based on their respective percentageownership interests. Payments made to PBFX’s unitholders are determined in relation to actual distributions declared and are not based on the net income (loss) allocations used in the calculation of net income (loss) per unit.


Diluted net income per unit includes the effectseffect of potentially dilutive units of PBFX’s common units that consist of unvested phantom units. There were 13,375273,232 and 84,750285,515 anti-dilutive phantom units for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017,2020, respectively, compared to 625 and 257,104 and 521,13013,063 anti-dilutive phantom units for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016,2019, respectively. Basic and diluted net income per unit applicable to subordinated limited partners are the same because there are no potentially dilutive subordinated units outstanding.


In addition to the common and subordinated units, PBFX has also identified the general partner interest and IDRs as participating securities and uses the two-class method when calculating the net income per unit applicable to limited partners that is based on the weighted-average number of common units outstanding during the period.

On June 1, 2017, following the May 31, 2017 payment of the cash distribution attributable to the second quarter of 2017, the requirements under the partnership agreement for the conversion of all subordinated units into common units were satisfied and the subordination period for such subordinated units ended. As a result, in the second quarter of 2017, each of the Partnership’s 15,886,553 outstanding subordinated units converted into common units and began participating pro rata with the other common units in distributions of available cash. The conversion did not impact the amount of the cash distribution paid or the total number of the Partnership’s outstanding units representing limited partner interests. The Partnership’s net income was allocated to the general partner, the limited partners, including the holders of the subordinated units through May 31, 2017 and IDR holders, in accordance with the partnership agreement.

When calculating basic earnings per unit under the two-class method for a master limited partnership, net income for the current reporting period is reduced by the amount of available cash that has been or will be distributed to the general partner, limited partners, and IDR holders for that reporting period. The following table shows the calculation of earnings less distributions:

9.10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The DCR Rail Terminal and the DCR West Rack are collocated with the Delaware City Refinery, and are located in Delaware’s coastal zone where certain activities are regulated under the Delaware Coastal Zone Act. In 2013, Delaware City Refinery obtained a permit to allow loading of crude oil onto barges. The issuance of the permit was appealed by environmental interest groups and the Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control’s (“DNREC”) issuance was ultimately upheld. On December 23, 2016, Delaware City Refinery received a Notice of Violation (“NOV”) from DNREC concerning a potential violation of the DNREC order authorizing the shipment of crude oil by barge from the Delaware City Refinery. The NOV alleges that Delaware City Refinery made shipments to locations other than the Paulsboro Refinery in violation of the order and requests certain additional information. On February 7, 2017, the Delaware City Refinery responded to the NOV. On March 10, 2017, DNREC issued a $150 fine in a Notice of Penalty Assessment and Secretary’s Order to the Delaware City Refinery for violating the 2013 Secretary’s Order. DNREC’s investigation found that PBF Energy violated the 2013 Secretary’s Order throughout 2014, when it made 17 barge shipments of crude oil over 15 days to locations other than the Paulsboro Refinery. DNREC determined that the Delaware City Refinery had violated the order by failing to make timely and full disclosure to DNREC about the nature and extent of those shipments, and had misrepresented the number of shipments that went to other facilities. The penalty assessment and Secretary’s Order conclude that the 2013 Secretary’s Order was violated by the Paulsboro Refinery by shipping crude oil from the Delaware City terminal to three locations other than the Paulsboro Refinery, on 15 days in 2014, making a total of 17 separate barge shipments containing approximately 35,700,000 gallons of crude oil in total. On April 28, 2017, DCR appealed the Notice of Penalty Assessment and Secretary’s Order. The hearing of the appeal is scheduled for February 2018. To the extent that the penalty and Secretary’s Order are upheld, there will not be a material adverse effect on the Partnership’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

On December 28, 2016, DNREC issued a Coastal Zone Act permit (the “Ethanol Permit”) to Delaware City Refinery allowing the utilization of existing tanks and existing marine loading equipment at their existing facilities to enable denatured ethanol to be loaded from storage tanks to marine vessels and shipped to offsite facilities. On January 13, 2017, the issuance of the Ethanol Permit was appealed by two environmental groups. On February 27, 2017, the Coastal Zone Industrial Board held a public hearing and dismissed the appeal, determining that the


24

PBF LOGISTICS LP
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT BARREL, DEKATHERM, UNIT AND PER UNIT DATA)


appellants did not have standing. The appellants filed an appeal of the Board’s decision with the Delaware Superior Court on March 30, 2017. The filing of briefs has been scheduled for October and November 2017.

On October 19, 2017, the Delaware City Refinery received approval from DNREC for the construction and operation of the ethanol marketing project to allow for a combined total loading of up to 10,000 bpd, on an annual average basis, of ethanol on to marine vessels at the marine piers and the terminal truck loading rack, subject to certain operational and emissions limitations as well as other conditions. On the same date, Delaware City Logistics Company LLC (“DCLC”) received DNREC approval for the construction of (i) four additional loading arms for each of lanes 4, 10 and 11 for purposes of loading ethanol at its truck loading rack and (ii) a vapor vacuum control system for loading lanes connected to the existing vapor recovery unit located at its terminal in Delaware City. This approval is also subject to certain operational and emission limitations as well as other conditions.


Environmental Matters


PBFX’s assets, along with PBF Energy’s refineries, are subject to extensive and frequently changing federal, state and local laws and regulations, including, but not limited to, those relating to the discharge of materials into the environment or that otherwise relate to the protection of the environment, waste management and the characteristics and the composition of fuels. Compliance with existing and anticipated laws and

21

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT UNIT AND PER UNIT DATA)

regulations can increase the overall cost of operating the Partnership’s assets, including remediation, operating costs and capital costs to construct, maintain and upgrade equipment and facilities.


PBFX recorded a total liability related to environmental remediation obligations at certain of its assets of $1,857 and $2,347 as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, related to existing environmental liabilities.

During the first quarter of 2019, the Partnership notified certain agencies of an oil sheen present in the Schuylkill River near one of its facilities. Clean-up, identification and mitigation of the source were immediately initiated. The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (“PADEP”) approved the Site Characterization Report submitted by the Partnership, and the Remedial Action Plan was submitted to the PADEP on October 14, 2020. Although the response activities are substantially complete, the remediation costs will not be finalized until the Remedial Action Plan is approved by the PADEP. The remediation costs are currently not expected to be material to the Partnership.

Contingent Consideration

In connection with PBF Holding’sthe Partnership’s acquisition of CPI from Crown Point in October 2018, the Delaware City Refining Company LLC (“DCR”)purchase and sale agreement between the Partnership and Crown Point included an earn-out provision related to an existing commercial agreement with a third party, based on the future results of certain acquired idled assets Valero Energy Corporation (“Valero”(the “Contingent Consideration”) remains responsible for certain pre-acquisition environmental obligations. The Partnership and Crown Point will share equally in the future operating profits of the restarted assets, as defined in the purchase and sale agreement, over a contractual term of up to $20,000three years starting in 2019. The Contingent Consideration recorded was $13,720 and the predecessor to Valero in ownership of the refinery retains other historical obligations.

In connection with its acquisition of the DCR assets and the Paulsboro Refinery, PBF Holding and Valero purchased ten-year, $75,000 environmental insurance policies to insure against unknown environmental liabilities at each site. In connection with PBF Holding’s Toledo Refinery acquisition, Sunoco Inc. (R&M) remains responsible for environmental remediation for conditions that existed on the closing date for twenty years from March 1, 2011, subject to certain limitations.

In connection with its purchase of the East Coast Terminals, the Partnership is responsible for the environmental remediation costs for conditions that existed on the closing date up to a maximum of $250 per year for ten years, with Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. remaining responsible for any and all additional costs above such amounts during such period. The environmental liability of $2,049 recorded$26,086 as of September 30, 2017 ($2,173 as of2020 and December 31, 2016) represents2019, respectively, representing the present value of expected future costspayments discounted at a blended rate of 1.83%8.79%. The short-term Contingent Consideration is included in “Accrued liabilities” within the Partnership’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. At September 30, 2017,2020, the estimated undiscounted liability totaled $13,775 based on the Partnership’s anticipated total annual earn-out payments. The acquired idled assets that are subject to the Contingent Consideration recommenced operations in October 2019.

The Contingent Consideration at September 30, 2020 is $2,224 and the Partnership expects to make aggregate payments for this liability of $1,250 over the next five years. The current portioncategorized in Level 3 of the environmental liabilityfair value hierarchy and is recorded in “Accounts payable and accrued liabilities” and the non-current portion is recorded in “Other long-term liabilities.”

In connection with PBF Holding’s acquisitionestimated using a discounted cash flow model based on management’s estimate of the Torrance Refinery and related logistics assets, PBF Holding is responsible for all known and unknown environmental liabilities at each site acquired in connection with the acquisition. The total estimated liability of known environmental obligationsfuture cash flows associated with the Torrance Valley Pipeline was approximately $50 asrecommenced idled assets, a risk free rate of return of 2.9% and a discount rate of 6.0%. The change in fair value of the obligation during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 ($1,402 as2020 was impacted primarily due to the change in estimated future cash flows of December 31, 2016). In accordance with the contributionassets and accretion on the discounted liability.

Pursuant to the terms of the commercial agreement, associated with the Partnership’s acquisitioncounterparty exercised its right to terminate the contract at the conclusion of a 50% equity interestthe current contract year, resulting in TVPC from PBF LLC (the “TVPC Acquisition”), PBF Holding has indemnifiedan adjustment in the Partnershipfair value of the Contingent Consideration for any and all costs associated with environmental remediation for obligations that existed on or before August 31, 2016, including all known or unknown events, which includes the recorded liability of approximately $50. Atnine months ended September 30, 2017,2020 of $16,429, reflecting the Partnership expects to make the full aggregate payment for this liability within the next five years. PBFX has recorded a receivable from PBF Holding in “Accounts receivable - affiliates” for such anticipated payments related to the known pre-existing Torrance Valley Pipeline environmental obligations for which PBFX is indemnified.

PBF GP is our general partner and is wholly-owned by PBF LLC. PBF Energy is the sole managing member of PBF LLC and, as of September 30, 2017,2020, owned 96.6%99.2% of the total economic interest in PBF LLC. As of September 30, 2020, PBF LLC owns 18,459,497 of PBFX’sowned 29,953,631 PBFX common units constituting an aggregate 44.1%of 48.0% limited partner interest in PBFX, and owns all of PBFX’s IDRs, with the remaining 55.9%52.0% limited partner interest owned by public unitholders.

Business Developments

COVID-19

The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic continues to negatively impact worldwide economic and PNGPC,commercial activity and financial markets, as well as global demand for petroleum and petrochemical products. The COVID-19 pandemic and resulting governmental and consumer responses have also resulted in significant business and operational disruptions, including business and school closures, supply chain disruptions, travel restrictions, stay-at-home orders and limitations on the availability of workforces. Such impacts have resulted in revenue declines due to lower demand and throughput volumes across certain of our facilities, which were acquiredmay continue to affect our business for the foreseeable future. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we are taking steps to mitigate potential adverse impacts on our business and operations by limiting capital expenditures, reducing discretionary activities and third-party services and lowering our quarterly distribution to our minimum quarterly distribution of $0.30 per unit. This distribution reduction, effective with the distribution for the first quarter of 2020 that was paid on June 17, 2020, represents a strategic shift to build our cash flow coverage, de-lever our business and increase our financial resources as we continue to identify potential organic growth projects or strategic acquisitions. In addition, our parent sponsor and largest customer, PBF Energy, has endeavored to take the necessary steps to preserve liquidity and solidify its operations under the adverse market conditions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.


26


On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) was signed into law. The CARES Act provides opportunities for additional liquidity, loan guarantees and other government programs to support companies affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and their employees. While we continue to explore the CARES Act and its potential benefit to us, we currently have not sought any financial support or relief in the Acquisitions from PBF during 2014 through 2017.form of loans or grants under the CARES Act, and we may not be eligible, or able, to take advantage of such relief or any other available potential benefits in the future.


2017 Business DevelopmentsThe full extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts our business and operations, or that of our parent sponsor, is unknown and will depend on the severity, location and duration of the effects and spread of COVID-19, the actions undertaken by national, regional and local governments and health officials to contain the virus or treat its effects, related consumer responses and how quickly and to what extent economic conditions improve and normal business and operating conditions resume. Refer to “Risk Factors” included in “Item 1A.” of this Form 10-Q for further information.


Senior Notes OfferingCPI Contingent Consideration


On October 6, 2017,1, 2018, we issued $175.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 6.875% Senior Notes due 2023 (the “new 2023 Notes”). The new 2023 Notes were issued under the indenture governing the 6.875% Senior Notes due 2023 issued on May 12, 2015 (the “initial 2023 Notes,” together with the new 2023 Notes, the “2023 Notes”). The new 2023 Notes are expected to be treated as a single series with the initial 2023 Notes and will have the same terms as those initial notes except that (i) the new 2023 Notes will be subject to a separate registration rights agreement and (ii) the new 2023 Notes will be issued initially under CUSIP numbers differentacquired from the initial 2023 Notes. We used the net proceeds of the new 2023 Notes to repay a portion of our existing Revolving Credit Facility (as defined below) and for general partnership purposes.

Expiration of Subordination Period

On June 1, 2017, the requirements under our partnership agreement for the conversion of all subordinated units into common units were satisfied and the subordination period ended. As a result, each of our 15,886,553 outstanding subordinated units converted into common units and began participating pro rata with the other common


41


units in distributions of available cash. The conversion did not impact the amount of the cash distribution paid or the total number of our outstanding units representing limited partner interests. Refer to Notes 6 “Equity” and 8 “Net Income per Unit” in our Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in “Item 1. Financial Statements” for additional information.

The Toledo Terminal is comprised of a ten-bay truck rack and over 110,000 barrels of chemicals, clean product and additive storage capacity.

PNGPC Acquisition

On February 28, 2017, we closed the transaction contemplated by the contribution agreement (the “PNGPC Contribution Agreement”) entered into with PBF LLC dated as of February 15, 2017.

(“Chalmette Refining”) have entered into a twenty-year lease for the premises upon which the tank will be located (the “Lease”) and a project management agreement (the “Project Management Agreement”) pursuant to which Chalmette Refining has managed the constructionresult of the tank.contract termination, we recorded an impairment charge to write-down the related processing unit assets and customer contract intangible asset of $3.0 million and $4.0 million, respectively. The Chalmette Storage Agreement can be extended by PBF Holdingimpairment charge represents a write-down of the CPI assets due to the reduction of future earnings as a result of the contract termination.

Principles of Combination and Consolidation and Basis of Presentation


OurIn general, our Predecessor did not historically operate its assets for the purpose of generating revenuesrevenue independent of other PBF Energy businesses that we support,support. In connection with, and subsequent to, our initial public offering (“IPO”), we have acquired certain assets from PBF LLC (collectively referred to as the exception“Contributed Assets”). Such acquisitions completed subsequent to the IPO were made through a series of third-party revenue generated by Delaware City Products Pipeline (as defined below) priordropdown transactions with PBF LLC (collectively referred to August 2013.as the “Acquisitions from PBF”). Upon the closing of the OfferingIPO and the Acquisitions from PBF, we entered into commercial and service agreements with subsidiaries of PBF Energy, under which we operate our assets for the purpose of generating fee-based revenues.revenue. We receive, handle and transfer crude oil, refined products and natural gas from sources located throughout the United StatesU.S. and Canada and store crude oil, refined products and intermediates for PBF Energy in support of its refineries. In connection with the Offering, PBF LLC contributed the assets, liabilities and resultsaddition, we generate third-party revenue from certain of operations of certain crude oil terminaling assets to us.

Subsequent to the Offering, we acquired from PBF LLC a heavy crude oil rail unloading facility at the Delaware City Refinery (the “DCR West Rack”), a tank farm and related facilities, which included a propane storage and loading facility (the “Toledo Storage Facility”), an interstate petroleum products pipeline (the “Delaware City Products Pipeline”) and truck loading rack (the “Delaware City Truck Rack”) which are collectively referred to as the “Delaware City Products Pipeline and Truck Rack,” the 189-mile San Joaquin Valley pipeline system which consists of the M55, M1 and M70 crude pipeline systems including pipeline stations with storage capacity and truck unloading capacity (the “Torrance Valley Pipeline”), and the Paulsboro Natural Gas Pipeline. These transactions are collectively referred to as the “Acquisitions from PBF.” Subsequent to the Acquisitions from PBF, the DCR Rail Terminal, the Toledo Truck Terminal, the DCR West Rack, the Toledo Storage Facility, the Delaware City Products Pipeline and Truck Rack, the Torrance Valley Pipeline and the Paulsboro Natural Gas Pipeline are collectively referred to as the “Contributed Assets.”our assets.

The condensed consolidated financial statements presented in this Form 10-Q include our consolidated financial results as of and for the period ending September 30, 2017. We have retrospectively adjusted our financial information contained herein to include the historical results of PNGPC prior to the PNGPC Acquisition.


Agreements with PBF Energy Entities


Commercial Agreements


We currently derive thea majority of our revenue from long-term, fee-based agreements with PBF Holding, which generally include minimum volume commitment (“MVC”) agreements with PBF Holding, supported bystipulations and contractual fee escalations for inflation adjustments and certain increases in operating costs. We believe the terms and conditions under

Other Agreements

In addition to the commercial agreements described above, at the closing of the Offering, we entered into an omnibus agreement with PBF GP, PBF LLC and PBF Holding, which has been amended and restated in connection with certain of the Acquisitions from PBF (as amended, the “Omnibus Agreement”). The Omnibus AgreementThis agreement addresses the payment of an annual fee for the provision of various general and administrative services and reimbursement of salary and benefit costs for certain PBF Energy employees. The annual fee was increased to $6.9$8.3 million per year effective as of January 1, 2017.2020.


In connection with the Offering, weWe have also entered into an operation and management services and secondment agreement with PBF Holding and certain of its subsidiaries (as amended, the “Services Agreement”), pursuant to which PBF Holding and its subsidiaries providesprovide us with the personnel necessary for us to perform itsour obligations under itsour commercial agreements. We reimburse PBF Holding for the use of such employees and the provision of certain infrastructure-related services to the extent applicable to its operations, including storm water discharge and waste water treatment, steam, potable water, access to certain roads and grounds, sanitary sewer access, electrical power, emergency response, filter press, fuel gas, API solids treatment, fire water and compressed air. On February 28, 2017, we entered into the Fifth Amended and Restated Operation and Management Services and Secondment Agreement (as amended, the “Services Agreement”) in connection with the PNGPC Acquisition resulting in an increase to the annual fee to $6.7 million.our operations. The Services Agreement will terminate upon the termination of the Omnibus Agreement, provided that we may terminate any service on 30 days’upon 30-days’ notice.


In connection withRefer to our 2019 Form 10-K for a more complete description of the Chalmette StorageOmnibus Agreement PBFX Op Co and Chalmette Refining entered into the Lease and the Project ManagementServices Agreement. The Lease can be extended by PBFX Op Co for two additional ten-year periods.


Factors Affecting the Comparability of Our Financial Results


Our results of operations may not be comparable to our historical results of operations for the reasons described below:

Revenues. Our reported logistics assets revenues are fee-based and a majority are subjectdue to contractual MVCs. These fees are indexed for inflationour recent acquisition activity, which is discussed in accordance with either the FERC indexing methodology, the U.S. Producer Price Index or the U.S. Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers.

Revenues reported by us prior to the acquisitions of TVPC and PNGPC did not include commercial contracts associated with the Torrance Valley Pipeline or the Paulsboro Natural Gas Pipeline. Concurrent with commencement of operationsNote 3 “Acquisitions” of the New PipelineNotes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in August 2017, a new service agreement was entered into between PNGPC“Item 1. Financial Statements,” the cancellation and PRCconversion of our incentive distribution rights held by PBF LLC, which is discussed in regards to the New Pipeline.

Financing. Historically, we have financed our operations through proceeds generated by equity offerings, internally generated cash flows, and borrowings under our five-year $360.0 million revolving credit facility (“Revolving Credit Facility”) to satisfy capital expenditure requirements. In connection with the purchaseNote 8 “Equity” of the East Coast Terminals, we borrowed an additional $98.5 million underNotes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in “Item 1. Financial Statements,” certain debt and equity transactions and our Revolving Credit Facility, which was usedannual inflation adjustment to repay $98.3 million of our three-year $300.0 million term loan facility (“Term Loan”) in order to release


45


$98.3 million in marketable securities that had collateralized the Term Loan. In connection with the acquisition of TVPC, we borrowed an additional $76.2 million under our Revolving Credit Facility, which was used to repay $76.2 million of our Term Loan in order to release $76.2 million in marketable securities that had collateralized the Term Loan. The maximum amount of the Revolving Credit Facility was increased from $325.0 million to $360.0 million in May 2016. In connection with the PNGPC Acquisition, through our newly acquired subsidiary, PNGPC, we entered into the $11.6 million Affiliate Note Payable with PRC, a wholly owned subsidiary of PBF Holding. During March 2017, we fully repaid the remaining outstanding balance of the Term Loan.

Plains Asset Purchase. On April 29, 2016, our wholly-owned subsidiary, PLPT, purchased the East Coast Terminals from an affiliate of Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. (the “Plains Asset Purchase”). The East Coast Terminals have subsequently generated third-party revenues. Prior to the purchase, we did not record third-party revenue, with the exception of third-party revenue generated by Delaware City Products Pipeline prior to August 2013.commercial agreements. Additionally, our results may not be comparablecomparative to prior periods due to additional affiliate revenue, operatingthe impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business in 2020, including lower throughput volumes at our terminals, as the industry reacts to the related economic downturn and maintenance expenses and general and administrative expenses associated with the East Coast Terminals.volatile commodity market.

Financial Statements” for further discussion.


Other Factors That Will Significantly Affect Our Results


Supply and Demand for Crude Oil, Refined Products and Natural Gas.Gas. We generate revenue by charging fees for receiving, handling, transferring, storing, throughputting and throughputtingprocessing crude oil, refined products and natural gas. TheA majority of our revenues arerevenue is derived from MVC, fee-based commercial agreements with

28


subsidiaries of PBF Energy with initial terms ranging from approximately sevenone to tenfifteen years, and including MVCs, which enhance the stability of our cash flows. The volume of crude oil, refined products and natural gas that is throughput or stored depends substantially on PBF Energy’s operational needs which are largely impacted by refining margins. Refining margins are greatly dependent mostly upon the price of crude oil or other refinery feedstocks, refined products and the price of refined products.natural gas.


Factors driving the prices of petroleum-based commodities include supply and demand infor crude oil, gasoline and other refined products. Supply and demand for these products depend on numerous factors outside of our control, including changes in domestic and foreign economies, weather conditions, domestic and foreign political affairs, production levels, logistics constraints, availability of imports, marketing of competitive fuels, crude oil price differentials and government regulation. Please readThe impact of the unprecedented global health and economic crisis sparked by the COVID-19 pandemic was amplified late in the first quarter of 2020 due to movements made by the world’s largest oil producers to increase market share. This created simultaneous shocks in oil supply and demand resulting in an economic challenge to our industry which has not occurred since our formation. These factors have resulted in significant demand destruction for refined petroleum products and atypical volatility in oil commodity prices, which may continue for the foreseeable future. Although the effects may be mitigated by MVC provisions in certain of our commercial contracts, this overall demand destruction and market environment could lead to lower storageor throughput volumes processed at our assets, which could negatively impact our results of operations and cash flows. While it is impossible to estimate the duration or complete financial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, a significant portion of the negative impacts and risk to us may be mitigated through our MVCs within the commercial agreements with PBF Holding. Refer to “Risk Factors” included in “Item 1A.” of this Form 10-Q and of our 20162019 Form 10-K.


Acquisition and Organic Growth Opportunities. We may acquire additional logistics assets from PBF Energy or third parties. Under our Omnibus Agreement, with PBF GP, PBF LLC and PBF Holding, subject to certain exceptions, we have a right of first offer on certain logistics assets owned by PBF Energy to the extent PBF Energy decides to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of those assets. We also have a right of first offer to acquire additional logistics assets that PBF Energy may construct or acquire in the future. Our commercial agreements provide us with options to purchase certain assets at PBF Holding’s refineries related to our business in the event PBF Energy permanently shuts down the PBF Holding’s refineries. In addition, our commercial agreements provide us with the right to use certain assets at PBF Holding’s refineries in the event of a temporary shutdown. Furthermore, we may pursue strategic asset acquisitions from third parties or organic growth projects to the extent such acquisitions or projects complement our or PBF Energy’s existing asset base or provide attractive potential returns. WeIdentifying and executing acquisitions and organic growth projects is a key part of our strategy, and we believe that we are well-positioned to acquire logistics assets from PBF Energy and third parties should such opportunities arise, and identifying and executingarise. However, there is no guarantee that we will be able to identify attractive organic growth projects or acquisitions is a key part of our strategy. However,in the future, or be able to consummate any such opportunities identified. Additionally, if we do not makecomplete acquisitions or organic growth projects on economically acceptable terms, our future growth will be limited, and the acquisitions or projects we do makecomplete may reduce, rather than increase, our cash available for distribution. These acquisitions and organic growth projects could also affect the comparability of our results from period to period. We expect to fund future growth capital expenditures primarily from a combination of cash-on-hand, borrowings under our


46


Revolving $500.0 million amended and restated revolving credit facility (as amended, the “Revolving Credit FacilityFacility”) and the issuance of additional equity or debt securities. To the extent we issue additional units to fund future acquisitions or expansion capital expenditures, the payments of distributions on those additional units may increase the risk that we will be unable to maintain or increase our per unit distribution level.


Third-Party Business. As of September 30, 2017,2020, PBF Holding accounts for thea substantial majority of our revenuesrevenue and we continue to expect thethat a majority of our revenue for the foreseeable future will be derived from operations supporting PBF Energy’sHolding’s refineries. We are examining further diversification of our customer base by potentially developing additional third-party throughput volumes in our existing system and continuing to expandexplore expanding our asset portfolio to service third-party customers. Unless we are successful in attracting additional third-party customers, our ability to increase volumes will be dependent on PBF Holding, which has

29


no obligation under our commercial agreements to supply our facilities with additional volumes in excess of its minimum volume commitments.MVCs. If we are unable to increase throughput or storage volumes, future growth may be limited.

Noncontrolling Interest. As a result of PBFX Op Co’s acquisition from PBF LLC of 50% of the issued and outstanding limited liability company interests of TVPC (the “TVPC Acquisition”), PBFX Op Co became the managing member of TVPC and fully consolidates TVPC. With respect to the consolidation of TVPC, we record a noncontrolling interest for the remaining 50% economic interest in TVPC held by TVP Holding Company LLC (“TVP Holding”). Noncontrolling interest on the consolidated statements of operations includes the portion of net income or loss attributable to the economic interest in TVPC held by TVP Holding. Noncontrolling interest on the condensed consolidated balance sheets includes the portion of net assets of TVPC attributable to TVP Holding.


How We Evaluate Our Operations


Our management uses a variety of financial and operating metrics to analyze our business and segment performance. These metrics are significant factors in assessing our operating results and profitability and include, but are not limited to, volumes, including terminal and pipeline throughput and storage capacity; operating and maintenance expenses; and EBITDA, EBITDA attributable to PBFX, Adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow. We define EBITDA, EBITDA attributable to PBFX, Adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow below.


Volumes. The amount of revenue we generate primarily depends on the volumes of crude oil, refined products and natural gas that we throughput at our terminaling and pipeline operations and our available and utilized storage capacity. These volumes are primarily affected by the supply of and demand for crude oil, and refined products and natural gas in the markets served directly or indirectly by our assets. Although PBF Energy has committed to minimum volumes under thecertain commercial agreements, described above, our results of operations will be impacted by:

PBF Energy’s utilization of our assets in excess of the MVCs;
our ability to identify and execute accretive acquisitions and organic expansion projects and capture incremental PBF Energy’s incremental volumesEnergy or third-party volumes; and
our ability to increase throughput or storage volumes at our facilities and provide additional ancillary services at those terminals and pipelines.


Operating and Maintenance Expenses.Our management seeks to maximize the profitability of our operations by effectively managing operating and maintenance expenses. These expenses are comprised primarily of labor expenses,and outside contractor expenses, utility costs, utilities, insurance premiums, repairs and maintenance expensescharges and related property taxes. These expenses generally remain relatively stable across broad ranges of throughput volumes but can fluctuate from period to period depending on the mix of activities performed during that period and the timing of these expenses. We will seek to manage our maintenance expenditures on our assets by scheduling maintenance over time to avoid significant variability in our maintenance expenditures and to minimize their impact on our cash flow.


EBITDA, EBITDA attributableAttributable to PBFX, Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow. We define EBITDA as net income (loss) before net interest expense (including amortization of loan fees and debt premium and accretion on discounted liabilities), income tax expense, depreciation, amortization, impairment expense and amortization expense.change in contingent consideration. We define EBITDA


47


attributable to PBFX as net income (loss) attributable to PBFX before net interest expense (including amortization of loan fees and debt premium and accretion on discounted liabilities), income tax expense, depreciation, amortization, impairment expense and amortization expensechange in contingent consideration attributable to PBFX, which excludes the results of Acquisitions from PBF prior to the effective dates of such transactions.transactions and earnings attributable to the CPI earn-out (the portion of earnings associated with an earn-out provision related to the purchase of CPI (the “Contingent Consideration”)). We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA attributable to PBFX excluding acquisition and transaction costs, non-cash unit-based compensation expense and items that meet the conditions of unusual, infrequent and/or non-recurring charges. We define distributable cash flow as EBITDA attributable to PBFX plus non-cash unit-based compensation expense, less net cash paid for interest, maintenance capital expenditures attributable to PBFX and income taxes. Distributable cash flow will not reflect changes in working capital balances. EBITDA, EBITDA attributable to PBFX, Adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow are not presentations made in accordance with GAAP.U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).



30


EBITDA, EBITDA attributable to PBFX, Adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow are non-GAAP supplemental financial measures that management and external users of our condensed consolidated financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies, may use to assess:

our operating performance as compared to other publicly traded partnerships in the midstream energy industry, without regard to historical cost basis or, in the case of EBITDA, financing methods;
the ability of our assets to generate sufficient cash flow to make distributions to our unitholders;
our ability to incur and service debt and fund capital expenditures; and
the viability of acquisitions and other capital expenditure projects and the economic returns on investment of various investment opportunities.


We believe that the presentation of EBITDA, and EBITDA attributable to PBFX and Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors in assessing our financial condition and results of operations.operations and assists in evaluating our ongoing operating performance for current and comparative periods. We believe that the presentation of distributable cash flow will provideprovides useful information to investors as it is a widely accepted financial indicator used by investors to compare partnership performance and provides investors with an enhancedanother perspective of the operating performance of our assets and the cash our business is generating. EBITDA, EBITDA attributable to PBFX, Adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow should not be considered alternatives to net income, operating income cash from operations, net cash provided by operating activities or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP. EBITDA, EBITDA attributable to PBFX, Adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow have important limitations as analytical tools because they exclude some, but not all, items that affect net income and net cash provided by operating activities. Additionally, because EBITDA, EBITDA attributable to PBFX, Adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow may be defined differently by other companies in our industry, our definitiondefinitions of such mattersmeasures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing their utility. EBITDA, EBITDA attributable to PBFX, Adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow are reconciled to net income and net cash provided by operating activities in “—Results“Results of Operations” below.

Segment Information

Our operations are comprised of operating segments, which are strategic business units that offer different services in various geographical locations. We review operating resultsoperations in two reportable segments: (i) Transportation and Terminaling;Terminaling and (ii) Storage. Decisions concerning the allocation of resources and assessment of operating performance are made based on this segmentation. Management measures the operating performance of each of itsour reportable segments based on the segment operating income. Segment operating income is defined as net salesrevenue less operating expenses and depreciation and amortization. General and administrative expenses and interest expenses not included in the Transportation and Terminaling and Storage segments are included in Corporate. Segment reporting is further discussed in Note 1112 “Segment Information” in ourof the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in “Item 1. Financial Statements.”

Liquidity and Capital Resources


Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the current challenging and volatile market conditions, our business and operating results have been impacted by demand destruction as a result of the worldwide economic slowdown and governmental and consumer responses, including travel restrictions and stay-at-home orders. Such conditions continue to affect our operations and financial condition due to changes in the usage and level of demand for our services, including a reduction in third-party and incremental affiliate revenue. We expect our ongoing sources of liquidity to include cash generated from operations reimbursement(a significant portion of which are supported by PBF Energy for certain capital expenditures,MVCs in our commercial agreements), borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility and issuances of additional debt and equity securities.securities as appropriate given market conditions. Additionally, we remain focused on opportunities to support our financial position in the current environment, including limiting capital expenditures, reducing discretionary activities and third-party services and continually assessing our quarterly distribution level. While it is impossible to estimate the duration or complete financial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and volatile market conditions, we expect that these sources of funds will be adequate to provide for our short-term and long-term liquidity needs, including our debt service, capital expenditures and distributions on our units. We may also pursue other strategic initiatives to strengthen our financial position, including debt and/or equity securities repurchases, to the extent such initiatives can be funded without impairing our liquidity. Refer to “Risk Factors” included in “Item 1A.” of this Form 10-Q for further information.

Our largest customer is our affiliate, PBF Holding, a subsidiary of our parent sponsor. PBF Energy has initiated several steps as part of a strategic plan to navigate current volatile markets and preserve or enhance its liquidity, including asset sales, new debt issuances, temporarily idling various units at certain refineries to optimize production, reductions in capital and operating expenditures, suspension of its dividend and exploring other potential opportunistic financing activities. We believe that cash generated from these sourcessuch actions will be sufficientallow PBF Energy to meetcontinue to honor its commercial agreements with us.

In response to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, we reduced our short-term working capital requirements, long-term capital expenditure requirements andquarterly distribution to our minimum quarterly distribution of $0.30 per unit effective with the distribution for the first quarter of 2020. This reduction represents a strategic shift to build our cash distributions.

We have paid,flow coverage, de-lever our business and increase our financial resources as we continue to pursue potential organic growth projects or strategic acquisition opportunities. However, we intend to continue to pay aat least the minimum quarterly distribution of at least $0.30 per unit per quarter, or $1.20 per unit on an annualized basis, which equatesaggregates to approximately $12.8$18.8 million per quarter orand approximately $51.2$75.2 million per year,on an annualized basis based on the current number of common units outstanding as of September 30, 2020.

As of September 30, 2020, we had approximately $310.0 million of liquidity, including approximately $27.9 million in cash and associated IDRs outstanding.

Capital Expenditures


Our capital requirements have consisted of, and are expected to continue to consist ofof: expansion, maintenance and regulatory capital expenditures. Expansion capital expenditures andare expenditures incurred for acquisitions or capital improvements that we expect will increase our operating income or operating capacity over the long term. Examples of expansion capital expenditures.expenditures include the acquisition of assets, the construction, development or acquisition of equipment at our facilities or projects that provide additional throughput or storage capacity to the extent such capital expenditures are expected to expand our operating capacity or increase our operating income. Maintenance capital expenditures are expenditures (including expenditures for the addition or improvement to, or the replacement of, our capital assets, and for the acquisition of existing, or the construction or development of new, capital assets) made to maintain our long-term operating income or operating capacity.

Of the total expected capital expenditures, related to the Paulsboro Natural Gas Pipeline, the Chalmette Storage Tank and the Toledo Terminal Acquisition, of which between approximately $5.0$2.5 million and $10.0$4.0 million relate to maintenance capital expenditures. We anticipate the forecasted maintenance capital expenditures will be funded primarily with cash from operations and through borrowings under the liquidationRevolving Credit Facility as needed. We currently have not included any potential future acquisitions in our budgeted capital expenditures for the remainder of marketable securities during the year.

We have sold our U.S. Treasury or other investment grade securities over time to fund our capital expenditures. In March 2017, we fully repaid our Term Loan and, as a result, such securities were no longer used to secure our obligation.2020. We may also rely on external sources including otherincremental borrowings under ourthe Revolving Credit Facility and issuances of equity and debt securities to fund any significant future expansion.


Under the Omnibus Agreement, PBF Energy has agreed to reimburse us for any costs up to $20.0 million per event (net of any insurance recoveries) that we incur for repairs required due to the failure of any Contributed Asset to operate in substantially the same manner and condition as such asset was operating prior to the closing of the Offering and the Acquisitions from PBF during the first five years after the closing of the Offering and the Acquisitions from PBF, and any matters related thereto.46

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements


We have not entered into any transactions, agreements or other contractual arrangements that would result in off-balance sheet liabilities, other than outstanding letters of credit in the amount of approximately $3.6 million and operating leases.$4.9 million.


Environmental and Other Matters


Environmental RegulationRegulations


Our operations are subject to extensive and frequently changing federal, state and local laws, regulations and ordinances relating to the protection of the environment. Among other things, these laws and regulations govern the emission or discharge of pollutants into or onto the land, air and water, the handling and disposal of solid and hazardous wastes and the remediation of contamination. As with the industry generally, compliance with existing and anticipated environmental laws and regulations increases our overall cost of business, including our capital costs to develop, maintain, operate and upgrade equipment and facilities. While these laws and regulations affect our maintenance and regulatory capital expenditures and net income, we believe they do not necessarily affect our competitive position, as the operations of our competitors are similarly affected. We believe our facilities are in substantial compliance with applicable environmental laws and regulations. However, these laws and regulations, are subject to changes, or to changes inas well as the interpretation of such laws and regulations, are subject to changes by regulatory authorities, and continued and future compliance with such laws and regulations may require us to incur significant expenditures. Additionally, violation of environmental laws, regulations and permits can result in the imposition of significant administrative, civil and criminal penalties, injunctions limiting our operations, investigatory or remedial liabilities or construction bans or delays in the development of additional facilities or equipment. Furthermore, a release of hydrocarbons or hazardous substances into the environment could, to the extent the event is not insured, subject us to substantial expenses, including costs to comply with applicable laws and regulations and to resolve claims by third parties for personal injury or property damage or by the U.S. federal government or state governments for natural resources damages. These impacts could directly and indirectly affect our business and have an adverse impact on our financial position, results of operations and liquidity. We cannot currently determine the amounts of such future impacts.


Environmental Liabilities

ContaminationContaminations resulting from spills of crude oil or petroleum products isare not unusual within the petroleum terminaling or transportation industries. Historicindustries and historically spills at truck and rail racks and terminals as a result of past operations have resulted in contamination of the environment, including soils and groundwater.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk


Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices. BecauseWe have minimal direct exposure to risks associated with fluctuating commodity prices because we do not generally own the crude oil, refined products or natural gas that is distributed through our facilities, and because all of our commercial agreements with PBF Energy require PBF Energy to bear the risk of any material volume loss relating to the services we provide, we have minimal direct exposure to risks associated with fluctuating commodity prices.provide.

48


We experience modest volume gains and losses, which we sometimes refer to as imbalances, withinthrough the operations of our assets as a result of variances in tank storage meter readings and volume fluctuations within certain of our terminals. We use a year-to-date weighted-average market price to value our assets and liabilities related to product imbalances. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017,2020, the impact from our imbalances was not material to our results. In practice, we expect to settle positive refined product imbalances at the end of each year by selling excess volumes at current market prices. We may be required to purchase refined product volumes in the open market to make up negative imbalances or settle through cash payments.


Debt that we incur under ourthe Revolving Credit Facility bears interest at a variable rate and exposes us to interest rate risk. At September 30, 2017,2020, we had $189.2$213.0 million outstanding in variable interest debt under this facility.debt. A 1.0% change in the interest rate associated with the borrowings outstanding under this facility would result in a $2.9$4.0 million change in our interest expense, assuming we were to borrow all $360.0$500.0 million available under ourthe Revolving Credit Facility.


We continually monitor our market risk exposure, including the impact and developments related to COVID-19, which has introduced significant volatility in the financial markets subsequent to our year ended December 31, 2019.

Although fromFrom time to time, we may be involved in litigation, legal or governmental proceedings and other claims arising out of or relating to our operations in the normal course of business,business. Except as set forth in our filings with the SEC or below, we do not believe that we are a party to any litigationsuch matters that will have a material adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations or statements of cash flows. Weflows and we are not aware of any material legal or governmental proceedings against us, orsuch matters contemplated to be brought against us.us:


On December 28, 2016, the Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control issued a Coastal Zone Act permit for ethanol (the “Ethanol Permit”) to Delaware City Refining Company LLC (“DCR”) allowing the utilization of existing tanks and existing marine loading equipment at their existing facilities to enable denatured ethanol to be loaded from storage tanks to marine vessels and shipped to offsite facilities. On January 13, 2017, the issuance of the Ethanol Permit was appealed by two environmental groups. On February 27, 2017, the Coastal Zone Industrial Board (the “Coastal Zone Board”) held a public hearing and dismissed the appeal, determining that the appellants did not have standing. The appellants filed an appeal of the Coastal Zone Board’s decision with the Delaware Superior Court (the “Superior Court”) on March 30, 2017. On January 19, 2018, the Superior Court rendered an Opinion regarding the decision of the Coastal Zone Board to dismiss the appeal of the Ethanol Permit for the ethanol project. The judge determined that the record created by the Coastal Zone Board was insufficient for the Superior Court to make a decision, and therefore remanded the case back to the Coastal Zone Board to address the deficiency in the record. Specifically, the Superior Court directed the Coastal Zone Board to address any evidence concerning whether the appellants’ claimed injuries would be affected by the increased quantity of ethanol shipments. On remand, the Coastal Zone Board met on January 28, 2019 and reversed its previous decision on standing, ruling that the appellants have standing to appeal the issuance of the Ethanol Permit. The parties to the action filed a joint motion with the Coastal Zone Board, requesting that the Coastal Zone Board concur with the parties’ proposal to secure from the Superior Court confirmation that all rights and claims are preserved for any subsequent appeal to the Superior Court, and that the matter then be scheduled for a hearing on the merits before the Coastal Zone Board. The Coastal Zone Board notified the parties in January of 2020 that it concurred with the parties’ proposed course of action. The appellants and DCR subsequently filed a motion with the Superior Court requesting relief consistent with what was described to the Coastal Zone Board. In March of 2020, the Superior Court issued a letter relinquishing jurisdiction over the matter and concurring with the parties’ proposal to allow the case to proceed to a hearing on the merits before the Coastal Zone Board. The parties must now jointly propose to the Coastal Zone Board a schedule for pre-hearing activity and a merits hearing to resolve the matter. The parties must, therefore, submit to the Coastal Zone Board a joint proposed schedule to govern future proceedings related to the merits hearing to resolve the matter.

Item 1A. Risk Factors


There have been no significant changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our 20162019 Form 10-K, except as follows:

The current COVID-19 pandemic could have a materially adverse impact on our business, including our financial condition, cash flows and results of operations. We are unable to predict the extent to which the pandemic and related impacts will adversely impact our business, including our financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the current extraordinary and volatile market conditions, our business and operating results have been and could continue to be negatively impacted due to demand destruction as a result of the worldwide economic slowdown and governmental responses, including travel restrictions and stay-at-home orders. These conditions could also have a negative impact on our liquidity due to

50


changes in the demand for our services, including a reduction in third-party and incremental affiliate revenue or the inability of our customers to honor their obligations under our commercial agreements. The COVID-19 pandemic has already impacted our revenue due to reductions in throughput volumes at our facilities, however, the full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the economy and our business is unknown and continuously evolving. The ultimate impact on our business will depend on numerous factors, including the duration of the effects of the pandemic on the economy, governmental actions as a response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the demand for refined petroleum products, any deterioration in the creditworthiness of our customers and actions taken by national and local governments.

The impacts the COVID-19 pandemic could have on our business include:
a change in customer demand for our services, including lower third-party throughput and storage and a decrease in incremental throughput associated with our commercial agreements with PBF Holding;
a reduction in the availability or productivity of our employees to service our customers;
a delay in timing for the collections of our receivables for the services we perform;
an impairment of our goodwill or long-lived assets;
a decrease in our ability to grow our business through organic projects or third-party acquisitions;
our inability to meet the covenant requirements of our Revolving Credit Facility or 2023 Notes, which may result in our debt being due on-demand;
an impact on our liquidity position, which could result in our inability to pay our payables timely, including the 2023 Notes interest payments;
changes or downgrades to our credit ratings;
our ability to have sufficient cash from operations to enable us to pay the minimum quarterly distribution, or require us to reduce or suspend our quarterly distribution; and
other factors discussed elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.

The foregoing and other continued disruptions to our business as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic could result in a material adverse effect on our business, result of operations, financial condition, cash flows and our ability to service the 2023 Notes and our other indebtedness and obligations. The COVID-19 pandemic may also have the effect of heightening some of the other risks described in the “Risk Factors” section of our 2019 Form 10-K.
