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,” 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 upon 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,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and elsewhere in this Form 10-Q; in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017,2018, which we refer to as our 20172018 Form 10-K and in our other filings with the United States of America (“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 could affect our results include:
our limited operating history as a separate public partnership;
changes in general economic conditions;
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 subjects us to the business risks of PBF Energy, which includes 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 handling crude oil, petroleum products and natural gas;


3



natural disasters, weather-related delays, casualty losses and other matters beyond our control;
interest rates;


3



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;
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 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 March 31, 2018,2019, owned 97.2%99.0% 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’s29,953,631 PBFX common units constituting an aggregate 44.1%54.1% limited partner interest in PBFX, and owns all of PBFX’s incentive distribution rights (“IDRs”), with the remaining 55.9%45.9% limited partner interest owned by public unitholders as of March 31, 2018.2019.

PBFX engages in 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, and as a result, the Partnership continues to generate a substantial majority of its revenue from transactions with PBF Holding. Additionally, certain of PBFX’s assets also generate revenue from third-party transactions.

On February 28, 2019, the Partnership closed on an Equity Restructuring Agreement (the “IDR Restructuring Agreement”) with PBF LLC and PBF GP, pursuant to which PBFX’s incentive distribution rights (“IDRs”) held by PBF LLC were canceled and converted into 10,000,000 newly issued PBFX common units (the “IDR Restructuring”). Transaction costs related to the IDR Restructuring were $2,032 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and were included in “General and administrative expenses” within the Partnership’s condensed consolidated statement of operations. Subsequent to the closing of the IDR Restructuring, no distributions were made to PBF LLC with respect to the IDRs and the newly issued PBFX common units are entitled to normal distributions.

Principles of Combination and Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

In connection with, and subsequent to, PBFX’s initial public offering (“IPO”), the Partnership has acquired certain assets from PBF LLC (collectively referred to as the “Contributed Assets”). TheSuch acquisitions completed subsequent to the IPO were made through a series of drop-down transactions with PBF LLC (collectively referred to as the “Acquisitions from PBF”). The assets, liabilities and results of operations of the Contributed Assets prior to their acquisition by PBFX are collectively referred to as the “Predecessor.” The transactions through which PBFX acquired the Contributed Assets were transfers of assets between entities under common control. Accordingly, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes present the results of operations and cash flows of our Predecessor for all periods presented prior to the effective date of each transaction. The financial statements of our Predecessor have been prepared from the separate records maintained by PBF Energy and may not necessarily be indicative of the conditions that would have existed or the results of operations if the Predecessor had been operated as an unaffiliated entity. See the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20172018 (the “2017“2018 Form 10-K”) for additional information regarding the Acquisitions from PBF and the commercial agreements and amendments to other agreements with related parties executed in connection with these acquisitions.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S.United States of America generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, PBFX has included all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and the results of operations and cash flows of PBFX for the periods presented. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 20182019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.

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


The Predecessor generally did not historically operate its respective assets for the purpose of generating revenues independent of other PBF Energy businesses prior to PBFX’s IPO or for assets acquired in the Acquisitions from PBF, prior to the effective dates of each transaction.transaction, with the exception of the Paulsboro Lube Oil Terminal (as defined in Note 3 “Acquisitions” of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance

In May 2014,February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09 (Topic 606) “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASC 606”). ASC 606 supersedes

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


the revenue recognition requirements in Accounting Standards Codification 605 “Revenue Recognition” (“ASC 605”), and requires entities to recognize revenue when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to customers at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The Partnership adopted ASC 606 as of January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective transition method. See Note 2 “Revenues” of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further details.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

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. Additional ASUs have been issued subsequent to ASU 2016-02 to provide additionalsupplementary clarification and implementation guidance for leases related to, ASU 2016-02 including ASU 2018-01, “Leases (Topic 842): Land Easement Practical Expedient for Transition to Topic 842 (“ASU 2018-01”) (collectively,among other things, the Partnership refers toapplication of certain practical expedients, the rate implicit in the lease, lessee reassessment of lease classification, lessor reassessment of lease term and purchase options, variable payments that depend on an index or rate and certain transition adjustments. ASU 2016-02 and these additional ASUs are now codified as the “Updated Lease Guidance”Accounting Standards Codification Standard 842 - “Leases” (“ASC 842”). The Updated Lease GuidanceASC 842 supersedes the lease accounting guidance in Accounting Standards Codification 840 “Leases” (“ASC 840”), and 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 isThe Partnership adopted ASC 842 effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and requiresJanuary 1, 2019, using a modified retrospective approachapproach. The adoption of ASC 842 resulted in the inclusion of less than $1,000 of operating leases recorded on the Partnership’s balance sheets, with operating lease right of use assets recorded in “Other non-current assets” and operating lease liabilities recorded in “Accounts payable and accrued liabilities” or “Other long-term liabilities” based on the future timing of lease payments. The adoption of ASC 842 did not materially impact the Partnership’s statements of operations or statements of cash flows.

ASU 2018-01 provides a practical expedient whereby land easements (also known as “rightsthe adoption of way”) thatASC 842 are not accountedadjusted and are reported in accordance with the Partnership’s historical accounting policy. See Note 2 “Revenue” of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information about the impact of ASC 842 to the Partnership as leases under existing GAAPa lessor.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, “Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment” (“ASU 2017-04”) to provide updated guidance on goodwill impairment testing. Under ASU 2017-04, goodwill impairment analysis Step 2 would not needbe eliminated. This step required a comparison of the implied fair value and carrying value of goodwill of the reporting unit. Subsequent to be evaluated under ASU 2016-02; however the Updated Lease Guidance would apply prospectively to all new or modified land easements after the effective date of ASU 2016-02. In January 2018,2017-04, during the FASB issued a proposed ASU thatannual, or if applicable, interim goodwill impairment assessment, entities would provide an additional transition method forperform the Updated Lease Guidance for lessees and a practical expedient for lessors. As proposed, this additional transition methodtest by comparing the fair value of the reporting unit with the carrying value of the reporting unit. The impairment charge would allow lessees to initially applybe the requirementsexcess amount of ASU 2016-02 by recognizing a cumulative-effect adjustmentwhich carrying value is greater than fair value, with the total amount limited to the opening balancecarrying value of retained earnings in the period of adoption. The proposed practical expedient would allow lessors to not separate non-lease components from the related lease components in certain situations. Assuming the proposedgoodwill.

While earlyDecember 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted, and the Partnership will not early adoptadopted the Updated Lease Guidance. The Partnership has established a working group to study and lead implementation of the Updated Lease Guidance. This working group has instituted a task plan designed to meet the implementation deadline for ASU 2016-02. The Partnership has evaluated and purchased a lease software system and has begun implementation of the selected system. The working group continues to evaluate the impact of the Updated Lease Guidance on the Partnership’snew standard in its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures andeffective January 1, 2019, which is expected to have an immaterial impact to the impact on its business processes and controls. At this time, the Partnership has identified that the most significant impacts of the Updated Lease Guidance will be to bring nearly all leases onto its balance sheet with “right of use assets” and “lease obligation liabilities” as well as accelerating recognition of the interest expense component of financing leases. While the assessment of the impacts arising from this standard is progressing, the Partnership has not fully determined the impacts on its business processes, controls or financial statement disclosures at this time.Partnership.

2. REVENUES

Adoption of ASC 606

Prior to January 1, 2018, the Partnership recognized revenue from customers when all of the following criteria were met: (i) persuasive evidence of an exchange arrangement existed, (ii) delivery had occurred or services had been rendered, (iii) the buyer’s price was fixed or determinable and (iv) collectability was reasonably assured. Amounts billed in advance of the period in which the service was rendered or product delivered were recorded as deferred revenue. 

Effective January 1, 2018, the Partnership adopted ASC 606. As a result, the Partnership has changed the accounting policy for the recognition of revenue from contracts with customers as detailed below.

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


The Partnership adopted ASC 606 using the modified retrospective method, which has been applied for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The Partnership has applied ASC 606 only to those contracts that were not complete as of January 1, 2018. As such, the financial information for prior periods has not been adjusted and continues to be reported under ASC 605. The Partnership did not record a cumulative effect adjustment upon initially applying ASC 606 as there was not a significant impact upon adoption; however, the details of significant qualitative and quantitative disclosure changes upon implementing ASC 606 are discussed below.REVENUE

Revenue Recognition

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

Minimum Volume Commitments

Transportation and Terminaling Segment

The Partnership’s Transportation and Terminaling segment consists of product terminals, pipelines, crude unloading facilities product tanks and marineother facilities capable of handling barges and ships. Certain of these 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 a deficiency payment equal to the volume of the deficiency multiplied by the contractual rate then in effect. The deficiency payment is initially recorded as deferred revenue on the Partnership’s balance sheets for all contracts in which the MVC deficiency makeup period is contractually longer than a contractualfiscal quarter.

Certain of the Partnership’s customers may apply the amount of any such deficiency payments as a credit for volumes transported on the applicable pipeline or terminal system in excess of its MVC during the following

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


quarters under the terms of the applicable agreement. The Partnership recognizes operating revenues for the deficiency payments when credits are used for volumes transported in excess of MVCs or at the end of the contractual period. If the Partnership determines, based on all available information, that it is remote that the Partnership’s customer will utilize these deficiency payments, the amount of the expected unused credits will be recognized as operating revenues in the period when that determination is made. The use or recognition of the credits is recorded as a reduction to deferred revenue.

Storage Segment

The Partnership earns storage revenue under the crude oil and refined productproducts storage contracts through capacity reservation agreements, where the Partnership collects a fee for reserving storage capacity for customers in its facilities. Customers generally pay reservation fees based on the level of storage capacity reserved rather than the actual volumes stored.

Leases

Lessor Disclosure Following the Adoption of ASC 842

The Partnership has leased certain of its assets under lease agreements with terms generally up to 15 years, including leases of storage, terminaling and pipeline assets. Some leases include options to terminate or extend for one or more years. These options are included in the lease term when it is reasonably certain that the option will be exercised. The Partnership’s agreements do not generally provide an option for the lessee to purchase the leased equipment at the end of the lease term. However, in connection with the affiliate lease agreement for the interstate natural gas pipeline at the PBF Holding’s Paulsboro Refinery (the “Paulsboro Natural Gas Pipeline”), the Partnership granted a right of first refusal in favor of PBF LLC such that, the Partnership would be required to give PBF Holding the first opportunity to purchase the Paulsboro Natural Gas Pipeline at market value prior to selling to an unrelated third party if PBF Holding refused to purchase it.

At inception, the Partnership determines if an arrangement contains a lease and whether that lease meets the classification criteria of a finance or operating lease. As of March 31, 2019, all of the Partnership’s leases have been determined to be operating leases. Some of the Partnership’s lease arrangements contain lease components (e.g., MVCs) and non-lease components (e.g., maintenance, labor charges, etc.). The Partnership accounts for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component.

Certain of the Partnership’s commerciallease agreements include MVCs that are considered operating leases. Under these leasingadjusted periodically for an 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 provides access to enter into new leases for such assets.

In the normal course of business, the Partnership enters into contracts with PBF Holding and its refineries whereby PBF Holding and its refineries lease certain of the Partnership’s storage, tanks and/or use of throughput assets that convey the right to control the use of an identified asset to the customer.terminaling and pipeline assets. The Partnership accountsbelieves 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 transactions under ASC 840 “Leases.”affiliate leases range from one to fifteen years. Leases with affiliates represent approximately 93% of the undiscounted future rental income from the Partnership’s leased assets. These lease arrangements accounted for $29,075$36,087 and $28,973 of the Partnership’s revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2018.2019 and 2018, respectively.

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 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.

The estimated fair value of the Revolving Credit Facility approximates its carrying value, categorized as a Level 2 measurement, as this borrowing bears interest based upon short-term floating market interest rates. The estimated fair value of the Partnership’s 6.875% Senior Notes due 2023 (the “2023 Notes”), categorized as a Level 2 measurement, was calculated based on the present value of future expected payments utilizing implied current market interest rates based on quoted prices of the 2023 Notes and was approximately $534,177$536,938 and $544,118$515,336 at March 31, 20182019 and December 31, 2017,2018, respectively. The carrying value and fair value of PBFX’s debt, exclusive of unamortized debt issuance costs and unamortized premium on the 2023 Notes, was approximately $545,000$685,000 and $554,177$696,938 as of March 31, 20182019, respectively, and $554,700$681,000 and $573,818$671,336 as of December 31, 2017,2018, respectively.

7.8. 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 no anti-dilutive phantom units for either of the three months ended March 31, 2018 or 2017. Basic2019 and diluted net income per unit applicable to subordinated limited partners are the same because there are no potentially dilutive subordinated units outstanding.2018.

In addition to the common and subordinated units, PBFX has also identified the general partner interest and IDRs (prior to the IDR Restructuring) as participating securities and usesused 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 prior period. On February 28, 2019, PBFX closed the IDR Restructuring, which canceled and converted PBFX’s IDRs held by PBF LLC into 10,000,000 newly issued PBFX common units. Subsequently, no distributions were made to PBF LLC with respect to the IDRs and the newly issued PBFX common units are entitled to normal distributions.

On June 1, 2017, following the May 31, 2017 payment of the cash distribution attributable to the second quarter of 2017, the requirements under PBFX’s partnership agreement, as amended, 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.

8.9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Certain of PBFX’s assets are collocated with PBF Holding’s Delaware City Refinery, and are located in Delaware’s coastal zone where certain activities are regulated under the Delaware Coastal Zone Act (the “CZA”). Therefore, determinations regarding the CZA that impact the Delaware City Refinery may potentially adversely impact the Partnership’s assets even if the Partnership is not directly involved.

The Delaware City Refinery is appealingappealed a Notice of Penalty Assessment and Secretary’s Order issued in March 2017 (the “2017 Secretary’s

Order”), including a $150 fine, alleging violation of a 2013 Secretary’s Order authorizing crude oil shipment by barge (the “2013 Secretary’s Order”). The Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control’s (“DNREC”) determined that the Delaware City Refinery had violated the 2013 Secretary’s Order by failing to make timely and full disclosure to DNREC about the nature and extent of certain shipments and had misrepresented the number of shipments that went to other facilities. The Notice of Penalty Assessment and 2017 Secretary’s Order conclude that the 2013 Secretary’s Order was violated by the

Delaware City Refinery by shipping crude oil from the Partnership’s Delaware City assets to three locations other than PBF Holding’s 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, the Delaware City Refinery appealed the Notice of Penalty Assessment and 2017 Secretary’s Order. On March 5, 2018, the Notice of Penalty Assessment was settled by DNREC, the Delaware Attorney General and the Delaware City Refinery for $100. The Delaware City Refinery made no admissions with respect to the alleged violations and agreed to request a CZA status decision prior to making crude oil shipments to destinations other than Paulsboro.the Paulsboro Refinery. The Delaware City Refinery has paid the penalty. The CZA status decision was submitted to the DNREC and the outstanding appeal was withdrawn as required under the settlement agreement.

On December 28, 2016, DNREC issued a CZA permit (the “Ethanol Permit”) to the 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 (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. During the hearing beforeOn remand, the Coastal Zone Board met on January 28, 2019 and reversed its previous decision on standing, oneruling that the appellants have standing to appeal the issuance of the appellants’ witnesses made a reference to the flammability of ethanol, without any indication of the significance of flammability/explosivity to specific concerns. Moreover, the appellants did not introduce at hearing any evidence of the relative flammability of ethanol as compared to other materials shipped to and from the refinery. However, the sole dissenting opinion from the Coastal Zone Board focused on the flammability/explosivity issue, alleging that the appellants’ testimony raised the issue as a distinct basis for potential harms. Once the Coastal Zone Board responds to the remand, it will go back to the Superior Court to completeEthanol Permit. The Delaware City Refinery is currently evaluating its analysis and issue a decision.appeal options.

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 barrels per day (“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.

TVPC Acquisition

On April 24, 2019, we entered into a Contribution Agreement with PBF LLC pursuant to which PBF LLC will contribute to us all of the issued and outstanding limited liability interests of TVP Holding Company LLC for total consideration of $200.0 million (the “TVPC Acquisition”). Subsequent to the completion of the transaction, which is expected to close in the second quarter of 2019, we will own 100% of TVPC.

Principles of Combination and Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

OurIn general, our Predecessor generally did not historically operate its assets for the purpose of generating revenues independent of other PBF Energy businesses.businesses that we 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 “Contributed Assets”). The acquisitions completed subsequent to the IPO were made through a series of drop-down transactions with PBF LLC (collectively referred to as the “Acquisitions from PBF”). Upon the closing of our IPO 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. 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.refineries located in Paulsboro, New Jersey, Delaware City, Delaware, Toledo, Ohio, Chalmette, Louisiana and Torrance, California. In addition, subsequent to the acquisition of the four refined product terminals located in and around Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, we have begun to generate third-party revenue related to thosefrom certain of our assets.

Agreements with PBF Energy Entities

Commercial Agreements

We currently derive the majority of our revenue from long-term, fee-based minimum volume commitment (“MVC”) agreements with PBF Holding, supported by minimum volume commitment (“MVC”) stipulations as applicable and contractual fee escalations for inflation adjustments and certain increases in operating costs. We believe the terms and conditions under these agreements, as well as the Omnibus Agreement (as defined below) and the Services Agreement (as defined below) each with PBF Holding, are generally no less favorable to either party than those that could have been negotiated with unaffiliated parties with respect to similar services.

See the 20172018 Form 10-K for a more complete description of our commercial agreements with PBF Holding, including those identified as leases.leases, which were entered into prior to 2019. The following are commercial agreements we entered into with PBF Holding during 2019:

The Delaware City Rail Terminaling Services Agreement and the Delaware West Ladder Rack Terminaling Services Agreement between Delaware City Terminaling Company LLC and PBF Holding were amended effective as of January 1, 2018 (collectively, the “Amended and Restated Rail Agreements”) with the service fees thereunder being adjusted, including the addition of an ancillary fee paid by PBF Holding on an actual cost basis. In determining payments due under the Amended and Restated Rail Agreements, excess volumes throughput under the agreements shall apply against required payments in respect to the minimum throughput commitments on a quarterly basis and, to the extent not previously applied, on an annual basis against the MVCs. As a result of these amendments, in the future, we expect to avoid earnings volatility associated with escalating costs. Additionally, the amendments should more closely align PBF Holding and us in terms of optimizing the utilization of the Delaware City rail unloading assets.
(b)In 2019, we amended (effective as of January 1, 2019) the existing Amended and Restated Rail Agreements between Delaware City Terminaling Company LLC (“DCTC”) and PBF Holding for the inclusion of services through certain rail infrastructure at the East Coast Storage Assets (as defined below).
(c)In connection with the inclusion of an additional destination at the Magellan connection under the Delaware Pipeline Services Agreement, Delaware Pipeline Company LLC (“DPC”) and PBF Holding (the “Delaware Pipeline Services Agreement”) agreed to a two-year, five-month MVC (the “Magellan MVC”) under the Delaware Pipeline Services Agreement. The Magellan MVC expired on March 31, 2019.
(d)The Delaware City Terminaling Services Agreement between DCTC and PBF Holding will commence in 2022 subsequent to the expiration of the Amended and Restated Rail Agreements and includes additional services to be provided by us as operator of other rail facilities owned by PBF Holding’s subsidiaries.
(e)Reflects the overall shell capacity as stipulated by the storage agreement. The storage MVC is subject to the effective operating capacity of each tank, which can be impacted by routine tank maintenance and other factors.

Other Agreements
In addition to the commercial agreements described above, we have 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.

Additionally, we have entered into an operation and management services and secondment agreement with PBF Holding and certain of its subsidiaries which has been amended and restated in connection with certain of the Acquisitions from PBF (as amended, the “Services Agreement”). Pursuant, pursuant to the Services Agreement,which PBF Holding and its subsidiaries provide us with the personnel necessary for us to perform our obligations under our 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 itsour operations, including storm water discharge and waste


33


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. 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.

See the 2018 Form 10-K for a more complete description of the Omnibus Agreement and the Services Agreement.

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:

RevenuesRevenue.. Our reported logistics assets revenues are fee-based, and a majority are subject to contractual MVCs. These fees are indexed for inflation in accordance with either the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission 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 acquisition of Paulsboro Natural Gas Pipeline Company LLC (“PNGPC”) in February 2017 did not include the services agreement associated with the new 24” interstate natural gas pipeline we built to replace the existing PNGPC pipeline servicing PBF Holding’s Paulsboro Refinery (the “Paulsboro Natural Gas Pipeline”), which commenced in August 2017 (the “Paulsboro Natural Gas Pipeline Services Agreement”).

In addition, the Amended and Restated Rail Agreements, which effectively combine the MVC’s associated with our Delaware City rail unloading assets with a blended throughput rate and a directly billed ancillary fee, were executed effective as of January 1, 2018.

FinancingFinancing.. Historically, we have financed our operations and capital expenditure requirements through internally generated cash flows, proceeds generated by equity and debt offerings internally generated cash flows, and borrowings under our Revolvingfive-year $500.0 million amended and restated revolving credit facility (as amended, the “Revolving Credit FacilityFacility”). During the three months ended March 31, 2019, we had net borrowings of $4.0 million to satisfyfund capital expenditureexpenditures and working capital requirements. During March 2017, we fully repaidOn July 30, 2018, the remaining outstanding balancePartnership completed a registered direct offering of our three-year $300.0an aggregate of 1,775,750 common units for gross proceeds of approximately $35.0 million. On July 31, 2018, the Partnership issued 1,494,134 common units, having an aggregate value of $31.6 million, term loan facility with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent, and a syndicate of lenders (the “Term Loan”). On October 6, 2017, we issued $175.0 millionto PBF LLC in aggregate principal amount of 6.875% Senior Notes due 2023 (the “new 2023 Notes,” and alongconnection with the $350.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 6.875% Senior Notes due 2023Development Assets Acquisition (as defined below).

IDR Restructuring. On February 13, 2019, we entered into the IDR Restructuring Agreement with PBF LLC and PBF GP, pursuant to which the IDRs held by PBF LLC were canceled and converted into 10,000,000 newly issued in May 2015,PBFX common units. The IDR Restructuring closed on February 28, 2019. Subsequent to the “2023 Notes”). The new 2023 Notes included a registration rights arrangement whereby we agreed, no later than 365 days after the dateclosing of the original issuance of the new 2023 Notes,IDR Restructuring, no distributions were made to file a registration statementPBF LLC with the SEC and use commercially reasonable efforts to consummate an offer to exchange the new 2023 Notes for an issue of registered notes with terms substantially identicalrespect to the notes. This registration statement was declared effective on April 2, 2018,IDRs and it is anticipated that the exchange will be consummated during the second quarter of 2018.newly issued common units are entitled to normal distributions.

Toledo Products Terminal Acquisition.Third-Party Transactions. On April 17, 2017,16, 2018, we, through our wholly-owned subsidiary, PBF Logistics Products Terminals LLC, completed the purchase of two refined product terminals located in Knoxville, Tennessee (the “Knoxville Terminals”) from Cummins Terminals, Inc. (the “Knoxville Terminals Purchase”). On July 16, 2018, we entered into an agreement with Crown Point International LLC (“Crown Point”) to purchase its wholly-owned subsidiary, CPI Operations LLC, whose assets include a storage facility with multi-use storage capacity, an Aframax-capable marine facility, a rail facility, a truck terminal, equipment, contracts and certain other idled assets located on the Delaware River near Paulsboro, New Jersey (collectively, the “East Coast Storage Assets”). The acquisition of the East Coast Storage Assets (the “East Coast Storage Assets Acquisition”) closed on October 1, 2018.

Development Assets Acquisition. On July 31, 2018, we acquired from PBF LLC all of the issued and outstanding limited liability company interests of Toledo Rail Logistics Company LLC (“TRLC”), whose assets consist of a loading and unloading rail facility located at PBF Holding’s Toledo Refinery (the “Toledo Rail Products Facility”); Chalmette Logistics Company LLC (“CLC”), whose assets consist of a truck loading rack facility (the “Chalmette Truck Rack”) and a rail yard facility (the “Chalmette Rosin Yard”), both of which are located at PBF Holding’s Chalmette Refinery; Paulsboro Terminaling Company LLC (“PTC”), whose assets consist of a lube oil terminal facility located at PBF Holding’s Paulsboro Refinery (the “Paulsboro Lube Oil Terminal”); and DCR Storage and Loading Company LLC (“DSLC”), whose assets consist of an ethanol storage facility located at PBF Holding’s Delaware City Refinery (the “Delaware Ethanol Storage Facility” and collectively with the Toledo Ohio refined products terminal assets (the “ToledoRail Products Terminal”) from Sunoco Logistics Partners L.P. (the “Toledo ProductsFacility, the Chalmette Truck Rack, the Chalmette Rosin Yard, and the Paulsboro Lube Oil Terminal, Acquisition”the “Development Assets”). TheSubsequent to closing on the Development Assets Acquisition, we entered into services agreements with PBF Holding associated with the Development Assets, with the exception of the Paulsboro Lube Oil Terminal.

As a result of the transaction is accounted for as a third-party acquisition, and as a result,noted above, our results may not be comparable due to additional affiliate revenue, operating and maintenance expenses and general and administrative expenses associated with the Toledo Products Terminal.

Chalmette Storage Tank. On November 1, 2017, we, through our wholly-owned subsidiary, PBFX Operating Company LLC (“PBFX Op Co”), began providing storage services to PBF Holding in November 2017 at PBF Holding’s Chalmette Refinery (the “Chalmette Storage Tank”) under a ten-year storage service agreement (the “Chalmette Storage Agreement”).

such transactions.

Other Factors That Will Significantly Affect Our Results

Supply and Demand for Crude Oil, Refined Products and Natural GasGas.. We generate revenue by charging fees for receiving, handling, transferring, storing and throughputting crude oil, refined products and natural gas. The majority of our revenues are derived from MVC, fee-based commercial agreements with 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 in 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 read “Risk Factors” included in “Item 1A.” of our 20172018 Form 10-K.

Acquisition and Organic Growth Opportunities. We may acquire additional logistics assets from PBF Energy or third parties. Under our Omnibus Agreement, 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


39


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 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. We believe that we are well-positioned to acquire logistics assets from PBF Energy and third parties should such opportunities arise, and identifying and executing acquisitions and organic growth projects is a key part of our strategy. However, if we do not complete acquisitions or organic growth projects on economically acceptable terms, our future growth will be limited, and the acquisitions or projects we do complete 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 Revolving Credit Facility 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 March 31, 2018,2019, PBF Holding accounts for the substantial majority of our revenues and we continue to expect that the majority of our revenue for the foreseeable future will be derived from operations supporting PBF Energy’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 expand 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 no obligation under our commercial agreements to supply our facilities with additional volumes in excess of its MVCs. If we are unable to increase throughput or storage volumes, future growth may be limited.

Noncontrolling InterestInterest.. As a result of PBFX Op Co’s acquisition from PBF LLC of 50% of the issued and outstanding limited liability company interests of Torrance Valley Pipeline Company LLC (“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 condensed consolidated statements of operations includes the portion of net income or loss attributable to the economic interest


35


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.











40


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 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 the 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 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, outside contractor expenses, utility costs, insurance premiums, repairs and maintenance expenses 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 attributable 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 and amortization expense. We define EBITDA 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 and amortization expense attributable to PBFX, which excludes the results of Acquisitions from PBF prior to the effective dates of such transactions. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA attributable to PBFX excluding acquisition and transaction costs, unit-based compensation 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 U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).

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

our operating performance as compared to other publicly tradedpublicly-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


36


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 providesand Adjusted EIBITDA provide 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 provides useful information to investors as it is a widely accepted financial indicator used


41


by investors to compare partnership performance and provides investors with another 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 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 definition of such matters 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 of Operations” below.

Three Months Ended March 31, 20182019 Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 20172018

Summary. Our net income for the three months ended March 31, 20182019 decreased by approximately $2.8$1.9 million to $25.3$22.1 million from $28.1$24.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017.2018. The decrease in net income was primarily due to the following:

an increase in operating and maintenance expenses of approximately $2.3$10.0 million, or 14.5%50.5%, as a result of increased outside services and utilities expenses within our Transportation and Terminaling segment, higher maintenanceenvironmental clean-up costs and materials expenses, expenses related to the Toledo Products Terminal subsequent to the Toledo Products Terminal Acquisition and expenses associated with our pipeline control center subsequent to its completion in May 2017, partially offset by a decrease in outside services costs within our Transportation and Terminaling segment;operations of recently acquired assets;
an increase in general and administrative expenses of approximately $1.0$1.7 million, or 29.4%40.1%, as a result of higher acquisitiontransaction costs related coststo the IDR Restructuring and higher unit-based compensation expense;expense, partially offset by lower acquisition related costs;
an increase in depreciation and amortization expenses of approximately $1.1$2.1 million, or 21.4%31.3%, related to the timing of acquisitions and new assets being placed in service;
an increase in interest expense, net of approximately $2.0$1.3 million, or 26.7%13.9%, attributable to the interest costs associated with the new 2023 Notes, partially offset by lowerhigher borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility;


45


an increase in accretion of discounted liabilities of approximately $0.8 million, or 100.0%, attributable to the accretion of the discounted liabilities recorded in connection with the East Coast Storage Assets Acquisition;
partially offset by the following:
an increase in total revenues of approximately $3.6 million, or 5.9%, primarily attributable to the Paulsboro Natural Gas Pipeline Services Agreement commencing in August 2017, the Chalmette Storage Agreement commencing in November 2017 and January 1, 2018 inflation rate adjustments implemented in accordance with certain of our commercial agreements (the “Inflation Rate Increase”), partially offset by decreases in throughput fees resulting from the Amended and Restated Rail Agreements.
an increase in total revenue of approximately $14.1 million, or 21.8%, primarily attributable to operations of recently acquired or constructed assets and inflation rate adjustments implemented in accordance with certain of our commercial agreements (the “Inflation Rate Increase”), partially offset by a decrease in revenue at our 24” interstate natural gas pipeline servicing PBF Holding’s Paulsboro Refinery (the “Paulsboro Natural Gas Pipeline”) due to a reduction in its pipeline tariff based on the lower than budget Paulsboro Natural Gas Pipeline project costs which were finalized during the three months ended March 31, 2019 (the “PNGPC Rate Adjustment”).

EBITDA attributable to PBFX for the three months ended March 31, 2018 decreased2019 increased by approximately $0.2$0.5 million to $36.3$36.8 million from $36.5$36.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 20172018 due to the factors noted above, excluding the impact of depreciation, interest and noncontrolling interest.

Operating SegmentsAdjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2019 increased by approximately $5.3 million to $43.0 million from $37.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 due to the factors noted above, excluding acquisition and transaction costs, unit-based compensation and certain other infrequent and/or non-recurring charges.

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; 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 its 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

Capital Expenditures

Our capital requirements have consisted of, and are expected to continue to consist of, maintenanceexpansion capital expenditures, expansionmaintenance capital expenditures and regulatory capital expenditures. 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. Examples of maintenance capital expenditures are expenditures for the refurbishment and replacement of terminals and to maintain equipment reliability, integrity and safety. Expansion capital expenditures are 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


44


capital expenditures include the acquisition of equipment and the construction, development or acquisition of unloading equipment or other equipment at our facilities or 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. Examples of maintenance capital expenditures are expenditures for the refurbishment and replacement of terminals and to maintain equipment reliability, integrity and safety. Regulatory capital expenditures are expenditures made to attain or maintain compliance with regulatory standards. Examples of regulatory capital expenditures are expenditures incurred to address environmental laws or regulations.

Capital expenditures for the three months ended March 31, 20182019 and 20172018 were as follows:

We anticipate the forecasted maintenance capital expenditures will be funded primarily with cash from operations and through borrowings under ourthe Revolving Credit Facility as needed. We currently have not included any potential future acquisitions in our budgeted capital expenditures for the twelve months ending December 31, 2019. We may rely on external sources including other borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility, and issuances of equity and debt securities to fund any significant future expansion.

On April 24, 2019, we entered into a Contribution Agreement with PBF LLC pursuant to which PBF LLC will contribute to us all of the issued and outstanding limited liability interests of TVP Holding Company LLC for total consideration of $200.0 million. We expect to finance the TVPC Acquisition with $135.0 million of gross proceeds from the April Registered Direct Offering and $65.0 million of borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility.

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 our IPO and the Acquisitions from PBF during the first five years after the closing of our IPO and the Acquisitions from PBF, and any matters related thereto.

Contractual Obligations

With the exception of repayments made during the quarter on the Revolving Credit Facility and subsequent borrowingsactivity under the Revolving Credit Facility, of approximately $57.0 million in April 2018including borrowings to finance the Cummins Terminals Purchase,fund capital expenditures and working capital requirements, there have been no significant changes in our contractual obligations since those reported in our 20172018 Form 10-K. Refer to Note 56 “Debt” and Note 1112 “Subsequent Events” in ourof the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in “Item 1. Financial Statements” for additional information regarding our debt obligations and subsequent events.

Environmental and Other Matters

Environmental Regulation

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


45


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 in the interpretation of such laws and regulations, 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. Historic 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.

Pursuant to the contribution agreements entered into in connection with ourthe IPO and the Acquisitions from PBF, PBF Energy has agreed to indemnify us for certain known and unknown environmental liabilities that are based on conditions in existence at our Predecessor’s properties and associated with the ownership or operation of our assetsthe Contributed Assets and arising from the conditions that existed prior to the closings of ourthe IPO and the Acquisitions from PBF. In addition, we have agreed to indemnify PBF Energy for (i) certain events and conditions associated with the ownership or operation of our assets that occur, as applicable, after the closingsclosing of our IPO and the Acquisitionseach Acquisition from PBF (including the IPO), and for(ii) environmental liabilities related to our assets to the extent PBF Energy is not required to indemnify us for such liabilities or if the environmental liability is the result of the negligence, willful misconduct or criminal conduct of PBF Energyus or itsour employees, including those seconded to us. As a result, we may incur the type ofenvironmental expenses described above in the future, which may be substantial.

As of March 31, 2018,2019, we have recorded a total liability related to environmental remediation costs of approximately $2.1$2.9 million related to existing environmental liabilities. Refer to Note 89 “Commitments and Contingencies” in ourof the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in “Item 1. Financial Statements” for additional information.

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. 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


52


loss relating to the services we provide, we have minimal direct exposure to risks associated with fluctuating commodity prices.
 
We experience modest volume gains and losses, which we sometimes refer to as imbalances, within 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 months ended March 31, 2018,2019, 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.


46



Debt that we incur under ourthe Revolving Credit Facility bears interest at a variable rate and exposes us to interest rate risk. At March 31, 2018,2019, we had $20.0$160.0 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 $2.3$3.9 million change in our interest expense, assuming we were to borrow all $360.0$500.0 million available under ourthe Revolving Credit Facility.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Item 5. Other Information

(a) On May 2, 2018, the Delaware City Rail Terminaling Services Agreement and the Delaware West Ladder Rack Terminaling Services Agreement between our wholly-owned subsidiary, Delaware City Terminaling Company LLC, and PBF Holding were amended effective as of January 1, 2018 (collectively, the “Amended and Restated Rail Agreements”) with the service fees thereunder being adjusted, including the addition of an ancillary fee paid by PBF Holding on an actual cost basis. In determining payments due under the Amended and Restated Rail Agreements, excess volumes throughput under the agreements shall apply against required payments in respect to the minimum throughput commitments on a quarterly basis and, to the extent not previously applied, on an annual basis against the MVCs.

As a result of these amendments, in the future, we expect to avoid earnings volatility associated with escalating costs. Additionally, the amendments should more closely align PBF Holding and us in terms of optimizing the utilization of the Delaware City rail unloading assets.

The foregoing description is not complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amended and Restated Delaware City Rail Terminaling Services Agreement and the Amended and Restated Delaware City West Ladder Rack Terminaling Services Agreement which are filed as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 to this Form 10-Q and incorporated herein by reference.
