(“BP Pipelines”), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of BP p.l.c. (“BP”), a “foreign private issuer” within the meaning of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and other information included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20192020 (the "Partnership's 20192020 10-K").

Partnership financial position, results of operations and cash flows consist of consolidated BP Midstream Partners LP activities and balances. All intercompany accounts and transactions within the financial statements have been eliminated for all periods presented.

Subordinated Unit Conversion

On February 11, 2021, we paid a cash distribution of $0.3475 per limited partner unit to unitholders of record on January 28, 2021, for the three months ended December 31, 2020. Following payment of the distribution, the board of directors of our General Partner confirmed and approved that the financial tests required for conversion of our subordinated units had been met under the terms of the partnership agreement. As a result, on February 12, 2021, all of the Partnership's subordinated units were converted into common units on a one-for-one basis and the subordination period was terminated. Refer to Note 8 - Net Income Per Limited Partner Unit for additional information.

As a result of the completion of this conversion event, common units are now presented on a combined basis in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Changes in Equity as of and for the period ended March 31, 2021. Prior periods have been reclassified in the comparative periods to conform to current period presentation in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Changes in Equity.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

There have been no significant changes to accounting policies as disclosed in Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Partnership's 20192020 10-K.

2. Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue over time or at a point in time, depending on the nature of the performance obligations contained in the respective contract with customers. A performance obligation is our unit of account and it represents a promise in a contract to transfer goods or services to the customer. The contract transaction price, which is the amount of consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring promised goods or services to a customer, is allocated to each performance obligation and recognized as revenue when or as the performance obligation is satisfied. The following is an overview of our significant revenue stream, including a description of the respective performance obligations and related methods of revenue recognition.

Pipeline Transportation

Revenue from pipeline transportation is comprised of tariffs and fees associated with the transportation of liquid petroleum products, generally at published tariffs and in certain instances, revenue from MVC contracts at negotiated rates. Tariff revenue is recognized either at the point of delivery or at the point of receipt, pursuant to specifications outlined in the respective tariffs. We record revenue for crude oil, refined products and diluent transportation during the period in which they are earned (i.e., either physical delivery of product has taken place or the services designated in the contract have been performed.)performed). Partnership services are typically billed on a monthly basis, and we generally do not offer extended payment terms. We accrue revenue based on services rendered but not billed for that accounting month.

Billings to BP Products North America Inc. ("BP Products") for deficiency volumes under its MVCs, if any, are recorded as deferred revenue and credits, a contract liability, on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, as BP Products has the right to make up the deficiency volumes within the measurement period specified by the agreements. Deferred revenue under these arrangements is recognized into revenue once it is deemed remote that the customer will meet its required annual MVC. If the
8

(in millions of dollars, unless otherwise indicated)
customer does satisfy its minimum volume commitmentMVC by shipping the deficiency volumes within the same calendar year, it may receive a refund of excess payments.

We did not recognize deficiency revenue under the throughput and deficiency agreements with BP Products for the three months ended March 31, 20202021 and 2019.2020.

Allowance Oil

The tariff for crude oil transportation at BP2 includes a fixed loss allowance (“FLA”). An FLA factor per barrel, a fixed percentage, is a separate fee that is considered a part of the transaction price under the applicable crude oil tariff to cover
9

BP MIDSTREAM PARTNERS LP
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
(in millions of dollars, unless otherwise indicated)

evaporation and other losses in transit. The amount of revenue recognized is a product of the quantity transported, the applicable FLA factor and the settlement price during the month the product is transported.

We recognized revenue of $1.5$2.6 million and $2.5$1.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 20202021 and 2019,2020, respectively, related to the FLA arrangements with our Parent with the decrease primarily due to lower volume on BP2 and a lower realized price per barrel in the first quarter of 2020.Parent.

Related Party Expenses

All employees performing services on behalf of Partnership operations are employees of our Parent. Our Parent also procures insurance policies on our behalf and performs certain general corporate functions for us related to finance, accounting, treasury, legal, information technology, human resources, shared services, government affairs, insurance, health, safety, security, employee benefits, incentives, severance and environmental functional support. Personnel and operating costs incurred by our Parent on our behalf are included in either Operating expenses – related parties or General and administrative – related parties in the condensed consolidated statements of operations, depending on the nature of the service provided.

We paid our Parent an annual fee of $13.6$14.0 million in 20192020 in the form of monthly installments under the omnibus agreement for general and administrative services provided by our Parent and its affiliates.

Share-based Compensation

Our Parent operates share option plans and equity-settled employee share plans. These plans typically have a three-year performance or restricted period during which the units accrue net notional dividends, which are treated as having been reinvested. Leaving employment will normally preclude the conversion of units into shares, but special arrangements apply for participants that leave for qualifying reasons.

Share-based compensation related to the employees of our Parent who provide services to us is charged to the Partnership pursuant to the terms of the omnibus agreement. The Partnership also issued its own unit-based compensation under a long-term incentive plan. See Refer to Note 11 - Unit-Based Compensation.Compensation.

Non-controlling Interests

Non-controlling interests consist of the 35% ownership interest in Mardi Gras held by our Parent at March 31, 20202021 and 2019.2020. Net income attributable to non-controlling interests is the product of the non-controlling interests ownership percentage and the net income of Mardi Gras. We report Non-controlling interests as a separate component of equity on the condensed

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

In addition to the common and subordinated units, the Partnership also identified the incentive distribution rights ("IDRs") currently held by the General Partner as a participating security 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.

Following the payment of the distribution on February 11, 2021, the financial tests required for the conversion of our subordinated units were satisfied under the terms of our partnership agreement. As a result, on February 12, 2021, all of the Partnership's subordinated units were converted into common units on a one-for-one basis and the subordination period was terminated. Following the conversion, we continue to use the two-class method when calculating the net income per unit applicable to limited partners. The remaining classes of participating securities are common units and incentive distribution rights.

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 will be distributed to the General Partner and limited partners for that reporting period. The following tables show the allocation of net income to arrive at net income per limited partner unit for the three months ended March 31, 20202021 and 2019:2020:

All of the subordinated units were converted into common units on February 12, 2021. As a result, on the date of record, there were no subordinated units outstanding, and therefore, no portion of the cash distribution has been allocated to the limited partners' subordinated units. However, pursuant to the requirements of the two-class method, and as stated above, the net income per unit amount applicable to the subordinated units has been calculated for the period of time the units were outstanding prior to their conversion.

9. Fair Value Measurements

The carrying amounts of accounts receivable, other current assets, accounts payable, and accruedother current liabilities approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature.

The carrying value of borrowings under the term loan as of March 31, 2020,2021 and the credit facility as of December 31, 2019,2020 approximate fair value as the interest rates are reflective of market rates.

10. Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Proceedings

The Partnership is a party to ongoing legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business. For each outstanding legal matter, if any, we will evaluate the merits of the case, exposure to the matter, possible legal or settlement strategies and the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome. While the outcome of these proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, we do not believe the results of these proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on the Partnership's business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

Indemnification

Under anour omnibus agreement, our Parent will indemnify us for certain environmental liabilities, litigation and other matters attributable to the ownership or operation of our assets prior to Partnershipour ownership. For the purposes of determining the indemnified amount of any loss suffered or incurred by the Partnership, the Partnership’s ownership of 28.5% in Mars and 65% in Mardi Gras, and Mardi Gras’ 56% ownership in Caesar, 53% ownership in Cleopatra, 65% ownership in Endymion and 65% ownership in Proteus will be considered. Indemnification for certain identified environmental liabilities is subject to a cap of $25$25.0 million without any deductible. Other matters covered by the omnibus agreement are subject to a cap of $15$15.0 million and an aggregate deductible of $0.5 million before we are entitled to indemnification. Indemnification for any unknown environmental liabilities iswas limited to liabilities due to occurrences on or before October 30, 2017, which were identified prior to October 30, 2020. We continue to maintain indemnification by our general partner for matters previously discovered. To the closing ofextent that unknown environmental liabilities arise relating to prior ownership, the Initial Public Offering ("IPO") and that are identified before the third anniversary of the closing of the IPO.Partnership will be liable.

The Interest Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants of our Parent and the Partnership. Our Parent, on the one hand, and the Partnership, on the other hand, have agreed to indemnify each other and their respective affiliates, officers, directors and other representatives against certain losses, including those resulting from any breach of their representations, warranties or covenants contained in the Interest Purchase Agreement, subject to certain limitations and survival periods. This agreement covers the Partnership’s ownership of 22.7% in Ursa and 25% in KM Phoenix.

Environmental Matters

We are subject to federal, state, and local environmental laws and regulations. We record provisions for environmental liabilities based on management’s best estimates, using all information that is available at the time. In making environmental

BP MIDSTREAM PARTNERS LP
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
(in millions of dollars, unless otherwise indicated)

liability estimations, we consider the material effect of environmental compliance, pending legal actions against us and potential third-party liability claims. Often, as the remediation evaluation and effort progress, additional information is obtained, requiring revisions to estimated costs. We are indemnified by our Parent under the omnibus agreement against environmental cleanup costs for incidents that occurred prior to Partnership ownership. Revisions to the estimated environmental liability for conditions that are not indemnified under the omnibus agreement with our Parent are reflected in the Partnership's condensed consolidated statements of operations in the year in which they are probable and reasonably estimable.

We accrued $3.6 million and $3.7$3.4 million for environmental liabilities at March 31, 20202021 and December 31, 2019,2020, respectively. These balances are broken down on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as follows:

11. Unit-Based Compensation

Long-Term Incentive Plan

On October 26, 2017, the General Partner adopted the BP Midstream Partners LP 2017 Long Term Incentive Plan (the “LTIP”). Awards under the LTIP are available for eligible officers, directors, employees and consultants of the General Partner and its affiliates, who perform services for the Partnership. The LTIP allows the Partnership to grant unit options, unit appreciation rights, restricted units, phantom units, unit awards, cash awards, performance awards, distribution equivalent rights, substitute awards and other unit-based awards. The maximum aggregate number of common units that may be issued pursuant to the awards granted under the LTIP shall not exceed 5,502,271, subject to proportionate adjustment in the event of unit splits and similar events.

12. Variable Interest Entity

Mardi Gras is a Delaware limited liability company and a pass-through entity for U.S. federal and state income tax purposes. Mardi Gras holds equity interests in the Mardi Gras Joint Ventures and accounts for them as equity method investments. Mardi Gras does not have any other operations or activities. The remaining interests in each of the Mardi Gras Joint Ventures are owned by unaffiliated third-party investors. Each of the Mardi Gras Joint Ventures is managed by its respective management committee, and decisions made by these management committees require approval of two or more members that are not affiliates with equity interest holdings meeting certain thresholds.

We have 65% ownership interest and 100% managing member interest in Mardi Gras. The remainder of the economic interest in Mardi Gras was held 34% by BP Pipelines and 1% by an affiliate of BP. Through our managing member interest in Mardi Gras, we have the right to vote 100% of Mardi Gras’ interest in each of the Mardi Gras Joint Ventures. We determined that Mardi Gras is a variable interest entity because (i) we hold disproportional voting rights as compared to our economic interest in Mardi Gras, and (ii) substantially all of Mardi Gras’ activities involve or are conducted on behalf of our Parent, which holds disproportionately few voting rights.

(in millions of dollars, unless otherwise indicated)
The managing member interest in Mardi Gras provides us with the unilateral power to direct the activities of Mardi Gras that most significantly impact its economic performance including the right to exercise the voting rights of BP for each of the Mardi Gras Joint Ventures. In addition, our obligations to absorb the expected losses of and the right to receive the residual returns from Mardi Gras relative to our economic ownership is significant to Mardi Gras. As a result, we are the primary beneficiary of Mardi Gras and consolidate Mardi Gras.

We have the obligation to provide financial support to Mardi Gras if all members unanimously determine that additional capital contributions are necessary to fund Mardi Gras’ operations. The assets of Mardi Gras can only be used to satisfy its own obligations, which were 0 at March 31, 20202021 and December 31, 2019.2020.

The term “our Parent” refers to BP Pipelines (North America), Inc. (“BP Pipelines”), any entity that wholly owns BP Pipelines, indirectly or directly, including BP America Inc. and BP p.l.c. (“BP”), and any entity that is wholly owned by the aforementioned entities, excluding BP Midstream Partners LP.

The following management discussion and analysis of financial conditions and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the unaudited financial statements and accompanying notes in this quarterly report and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20192020 (the "Partnership's 20192020 10-K"). All amounts are in millions of dollars, unless otherwise indicated.

Partnership Overview

We are a fee-based, growth-oriented master limited partnership formed by BP Pipelines, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of BP, to own, operate, develop and acquire pipelines and other midstream assets. For additional information regarding the assets and interests owned by the Partnership, assets consistrefer to Note 1 - Business and Basis of interests in entities that own crude oil, natural gas, refined products and diluent pipelines and refined product terminals serving as key infrastructure for BP and other customers to transport onshore crude oil production to BP’s Whiting Refinery and offshore crude oil and natural gas production to key refining markets and trading and distribution hubs. Certain Partnership assets deliver refined products and diluent from the Whiting Refinery and other U.S. supply hubs to major demand centers.



As of March 31, 2020, the Partnership's assets consisted of the following: 
PresentationBP Two Pipeline Company LLC, which owns the BP#2 crude oil pipeline system (“BP2”).
BP River Rouge Pipeline Company LLC, which owns the Whiting to River Rouge refined products pipeline system (“River Rouge”).
BP D-B Pipeline Company LLC, which owns the Diamondback diluent pipeline system (“Diamondback”). BP2, River Rouge, and Diamondback together are referred to as the "Wholly Owned Assets".
28.5% ownership interest in Mars Oil Pipeline Company, LLC (“Mars”), which owns a major corridor crude oil pipeline system in the Gulf of Mexico.
65% ownership interest and 100% managing member interest in Mardi Gras Transportation System Company, LLC (“Mardi Gras”), which holds the following investments in joint ventures located in the Gulf of Mexico:
56% ownership interest in Caesar Oil Pipeline Company, LLC (“Caesar”),
53% ownership interest in Cleopatra Gas Gathering Company, LLC (“Cleopatra”),

65% ownership interest in Endymion Oil Pipeline Company, LLC (“Endymion”). Together Endymion, Caesar, Cleopatra and Proteus are referredNotes to as the “Mardi Gras Joint Ventures.”Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
22.7% ownership interest in Ursa Oil Pipeline Company, LLC ("Ursa").
25% ownership interest in KM Phoenix Holdings, LLC ("KM Phoenix").

The Partnership generates a majority of revenue by charging fees for the transportation of crude oil, refined products and diluent through pipelines under long-term agreements with minimum volume commitments (“MVC”). We do not engage in the marketing and trading of any commodities. All operations are conducted in the United States, and all long-lived assets are located in the United States. Partnership operations consist of one reportable segment.

Certain Partnership businesses are subject to regulation by various authorities including, but not limited to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission ("FERC"). Regulatory bodies exercise statutory authority over matters such as common carrier tariffs, construction, rates and ratemaking and agreements with customers.

Business Environment, Market Conditions and Outlook

The impact to the energy industry from both the recent swift and material decline in commodity pricesdemand for petroleum and petroleum-based products resulting from the response to the global outbreak of COVID-19 have been unprecedented. Through the end of the first quarter, our assets remain operational. We did experience some adverse financial impact at the end of the first quarter which we expect to continue. Management continues to monitor the challenging macro environment. For risks associated with these and other factors, see “Item 1A. Riskrefer to “Risk Factors” in this Quarterly Report.the Partnership's 2020 10-K.

Management continues to work closely with BP Pipelines, as operator of our assets under the Omnibus Agreement, to ensure appropriate practices are adopted for continued functioning of our assets as well as mitigation strategies for any office or worksite where COVID-19 may be detected.

COVID-19

In the firstthird quarter of 2020, the COVID-19 outbreak spread across the globe. Federal, state and local governments mobilized to implement containment mechanisms and minimize impacts to their populations and economies. Variousrelaxation of containment measures which includedled to a resurgence of COVID-19 cases. This resurgence continued into the quarantining of cities, regionsfourth quarter and countries, have resulted in a significant drop in general economic activitythe reinstatement of containment measures and a resulting decrease inrestrictions, which has lowered demand for petroleum and petroleum-based products.

DeclineIn the first quarter of 2021, vaccine rollouts ramped up nationwide. This has led to the energy market seeing demand recovery driven by increases in road and air transportation. The vaccination effort has continued into the second quarter and we believe this will result in a further reduction of containment measures and restrictions thereby increasing demand recovery to a new normal, particularly as the summer season approaches.

In addition to the increase in vaccinations, certain regions across the United States have lifted, and continue to lift, certain restrictions previously imposed to contain the spread of COVID-19. While overall demand has improved from fourth quarter lows, moderate improvements in market conditions and energy demand have occurred during the first quarter of 2021. Uncertainties related to COVID-19 continue to affect the oil and gas industry, including the risk of new virus strains and renewed restrictions and the uncertainty of successful administration of effective treatments and vaccines.

Potential Impacts to Demand and Potential Impact to Our Operations

The unprecedented supply and demand dynamics created by demand decreases resulting from COVID-19 and supply increases resulting from recent periods of increased production by members of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (“OPEC”) and other counties, including Russia, beginning in March 2020, have resulted in severe declines in commodity prices and created volatility, uncertainty, and turmoil in the oil and gas industry. While in April 2020, OPEC+ agreed to cut production, the production cuts have yet to offset the decrease in demand resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic and related economic repercussions. As a result, the price of oil has remained depressed to historic levels and available storage and transportation capacity for production is increasingly limited. With the storage and transportation constraints further adding to the pressure on commodities prices, refiners have started to curtail output and producers all over the world – including in the United States – have significantly decreased their capital programs and even started to shut-in production.

21


In the first quarter 2020,of 2021, we have not experienced a material financial impactslight reduction in volumes on our onshore pipelines compared to the fourth quarter of 2020 as a result of apportionment on the Enbridge mainline impacting BP2 and COVID-19 related demand impacts on River Rouge, partially offset by increased seasonal demand for diluent on Diamondback.

BP Products previously executed new MVC agreements for a three-year term which continue to provide downside protection to the Partnership, however the minimum volume thresholds were reduced demand, as we have MVCs on all onshore pipelines through December 31,from 2020 (andlevels for certain volumes on Diamondback, through June 30, 2021). However,BP2 and Diamondback. As a result, we could experience a materialnegative financial impact if volumes shipped on our pipelines remain below such minimum commitments through the end of 2020 as a result ofdue to reduced consumer demand duedemand. Refer to Part I, Item 1 and 2, Business and Properties — Our Commercial Agreements with BP — Minimum Volume Commitment Agreements in the response to the COVID-19 pandemic. If these conditions persist beyond December 31,Partnership's 2020 and BP does not renew or extend our MVCs at all or at similar levels, it could have a material adverse effect on our financial results and condition. BP has no obligation to renew or extend our MVCs at any level.10-K for additional information.

We also have not experienced any decline in demand for our servicesDemand remained steady on our offshore pipelines in the first quarter. Wequarter of 2021. For our offshore joint ventures, we expect demand to be resilient, as offshore projects are larger capital projects planned over many years and less impacted by temporary changes in capital investment. To limit the impact of COVID-19, BP and our other customers, as well as us and other third-party operators of our pipelines, have implemented various protocols for both onshore and offshore personnel in efforts to limit the impact of COVID-19;personnel; however, thosethese protocols may not prove fullyto be successful. There is risk of decreased volumes with respect to theour offshore operations if operators take actions to reduce operations in response to demand declines or increasingly limited storage availability or are unable to control COVID-19 infections on platforms and are required to shut-in. Additionally, we expect the shippers on theour offshore pipelines to continue to find buyers for their production,production; however, they may not be successful.

We have taken steps and continue to actively work to mitigate the evolving challenges and growing impact of both the COVID-19 pandemic and the industry downturn on our operations and our financial condition. We have also worked with BP Pipelines and the third-party operators of our assets to ensure that COVID-19 response and business continuity plans have been implemented across all of our assets and operations. BP employees, including BP Pipelines personnel, have been working from home since March 16, 2020, except those deemed critical to the functioning of owned and managed assets. For those that are critical and are required to be on-site, protocols have been implemented to protect those employees. Thus far, BP does not have a significant number of employees diagnosed with COVID-19 and working remotely has not significantly impacted our operations, including use of financial reporting systems, nor has it significantly impacted our internal control environment. We have not incurred, and in the future do not expect to incur, significant expenses related to business continuity. However, our continuing operations and the management of the immediate and contingent safety measures would likely become increasingly difficult if BP employees are infected by COVID-19 and the practical difficulties of social distancing impact productivity.

We also continue to monitor our liquidity position. As of March 31, 2020, we had2021, our liquidity was $261.4 million, consisting of $129.4 million of cash and cash equivalents and $132.0 million available capacity of $132 million under our unsecured revolvingexisting credit facility with BP. Our only outstanding indebtedness is $468.0 million borrowed under our term loan with an affiliate of BP, and $105.5 million cash and our only outstanding indebtedness is $468 million outstanding under the term loan, withthere are no principal payments due until 2025. We experienced a sharp decline in the price of our common units over the first quarter of 2020, a condition that is consistent across our sector and may impair our ability to access capital markets. We do not have any debt covenants or other lending arrangements that depend upon our unit price. We are in compliance with the covenants contained in both our revolving credit facility and term loan, both of which include the requirement to maintain a consolidated leverage ratio, which is calculated as total indebtedness to consolidated EBITDA, not to exceed 5.0 to 1.0, subject to a temporary increase in such ratio to 5.5 to 1.0 in connection with certain material acquisitions. Please see “CapitalFor additional information, refer to “Capital Resources and Liquidity”Liquidity and Note 6 - Debtfor additional information.

We are unable to reasonably predict when, or to what extent, demand for petroleum and petroleum-based products and the overall markets and global economy will stabilize, and the pace of any subsequent recovery for the oil and gas industry. Further, to what extent these events do ultimately impact our business, liquidity, financial condition, and results of operations is highly uncertain and dependent on numerous evolving factors that cannot be predicted, including the duration of the pandemic. As noted above, BP Pipelines and the third-party operators of our assets have taken steps and continue to actively work to mitigate the evolving challenges and growingcontinuing impact of both the COVID-19 pandemic and the industry downturn on our operations, financial condition, cash flows and financial condition.liquidity. However, given the tremendous uncertainty and turmoil, there is no certainty that the measures we take will be ultimately sufficient.

How We Evaluate Our Operations

Partnership management uses a variety of financial and operating metrics to analyze performance. These metrics are significant factors in assessing operating results and profitability and include: (i) safety and environmental metrics, (ii) revenue (including FLA) from throughput and utilization; (iii) operating expenses and maintenance spend; (iv) Adjusted EBITDA (as defined below); and (v) cash available for distribution (as defined below).

20


Preventative Safety and Environmental Metrics

We are committed to maintaining and improving the safety, reliability and efficiency of Partnership operations. As noted above, we have worked with BP Pipelines and the third-party operators of our assets to ensure that COVID-19 response and
22


business continuity plans have been implemented across all of our assets and operations. We have implemented reporting programs requiring all employees and contractors of our Parent who provide services to us to record environmental and safety related incidents. The Partnership's management team uses these existing programs and data to evaluate trends and potential interventions to deliver on performance targets. We integrate health, occupational safety, process safety and environmental principles throughout Partnership operations to reduce and eliminate environmental and safety related incidents.

Throughput

We have historically generated substantially all of our revenue under long-term agreements or FERC-regulated generally applicable tariffs by charging fees for the transportation of products through our pipelines. The amount of revenue we generate under these agreements depends in part on the volumes of crude oil, natural gas, refined products and diluent on our pipelines. Refer to Part I, Item 1 and 2, Business and Properties — Our Commercial Agreements with BP — Minimum Volume Commitment Agreements in the Partnership's 2020 10-K for additional information.

Volumes on pipelines are primarily affected by the supply of, and demand for, crude oil, natural gas, refined products and diluent in the markets served directly or indirectly by partnershipPartnership assets. Results of operations are impacted by our ability to:

utilize any remaining unused capacity on, or add additional capacity to, Partnership pipeline systems;
increase throughput volumes on Partnership pipeline systems by making connections to existing or new third-party pipelines or other facilities, primarily driven by the anticipated supply of and demand for crude oil, natural gas, refined products and diluent;
identify and execute organic expansion projects; and
increase throughput volumes via acquisitions.

In addition, substantially all of our aggregate revenue on BP2, Diamondback and River Rouge is supported by commercial agreements with BP Products. We are a party to two throughput and deficiency agreements with BP Products and one dedication agreement with a third-party for Diamondback. The dedication agreement and one throughput and deficiency agreement for Diamondback were renewed in 2020 and will now expire in June 2021. The other throughput and deficiency agreement for Diamondback will expire on December 31, 2020 by its term, if it is not renewed. BP Products has entered into minimum volume commitment agreements with respect to BP2 and River Rouge, and these two throughput and deficiency agreements will expire by their terms on December 31, 2020, if they are not renewed.

Storage Utilization

Storage utilization is a metric that we use to evaluate the performance of our storage and terminalling assets. We define storage utilization as the percentage of the contracted capacity in barrels compared to the design capacity of the tank.

Operating Expenses and Total Maintenance Spend

Operating Expenses

Management seeks to maximize profitability by effectively managing operating expenses. These expenses are comprised primarily of labor expenses (including contractor services), general materials, supplies, minor maintenance, utility costs (including electricity and fuel) and insurance premiums. Utility costs fluctuate based on throughput volumes and the grades of crude oil and types of refined products we handle. Other operating 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.

Total Maintenance Spend - Wholly Owned Assets

We calculate Total Maintenance Spend as the sum of maintenance expenses and maintenance capital expenditures, excluding any reimbursable maintenance capital expenditures. We track these expenses on a combined basis because it is useful to understanding total maintenance requirements. Total Maintenance Spend for the three months ended March 31, 20202021 and 2019,2020, respectively, is shown in the table below:

The Partnership seeks to maximize profitability by effectively managing maintenance expenses, which consist primarily of safety and environmental integrity programs. We seek to manage maintenance expenses on owned and operated pipelines by scheduling maintenance over time to avoid significant variability in maintenance expenses and minimize impact on cash flows, without compromising our commitment to safety and environmental stewardship.

Maintenance expenses represent the costs we incur that do not significantly extend the useful life or increase the expected output of property, plant and equipment. These expenses include pipeline repairs, replacements of immaterial sections of pipelines, inspections, equipment rentals and costs incurred to maintain compliance with existing safety and environmental standards, irrespective of the magnitude of such compliance expenses. Maintenance expenses may vary significantly from period to period because certain expenses are the result of scheduled safety and environmental integrity programs, which occur on a multi-year cycle and require substantial outlays.

Maintenance capital expenditures represent expenditures to sustain operating capacity or operating income over the long term. Examples of maintenance capital expenditures include expenditures made to purchase new or replacement assets or extend the useful life of existing assets. These expenditures includes repairs and replacements of storage tanks, replacements of significant sections of pipelines and improvements to an asset’s safety and environmental standards.

Adjusted EBITDA and Cash Available for Distribution

The Partnership defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income before net interest expense, income taxes, gain or loss from disposition of property, plant and equipment, and depreciation and amortization, plus cash distributed to the Partnership from equity method investments for the applicable period, less income from equity method investments. The Partnership defines Adjusted EBITDA attributable to the Partnership as Adjusted EBITDA less Adjusted EBITDA attributable to non-controlling interests. We present these financial measures because we believe replacing our proportionate share of our equity method investments’ net income with the cash received from such equity method investments more accurately reflects the cash flow from our business, which is meaningful to our investors.

We compute and present cash available for distribution and define it as Adjusted EBITDA attributable to the Partnership less maintenance capital expenditures attributable to the Partnership, net interest paid/received, cash reserves, income taxes paid and net adjustments from volume deficiency payments attributable to the Partnership. Cash available for distribution does not reflect changes in working capital balances.

Adjusted EBITDA and cash available for distribution are non-GAAP ("GAAP" refers to Unites States generally accepted accounting principles) supplemental financial measures, which are metrics that management and external users of Partnership condensedour consolidated financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies, may use to assess:

operating performance as compared to other publicly traded Partnershipspartnerships in the midstream energy industry, without regard to historical cost basis or financing methods;
ability to generate sufficient cash to support decisions to make distributions to our unitholders;
22


ability to incur and service debt and fund capital expenditures; and
viability of acquisitions and other capital expenditure projects and the returns on investment of various investment opportunities.

We believe that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA and cash available for distribution provides useful information to investors in assessing our financial condition and results of operations. The GAAP measures most directly comparable to Adjusted EBITDA and cash available for distribution are net income and net cash provided by operating activities, respectively.
24


Adjusted EBITDA and cash available for distribution should not be considered as an alternative to GAAP net income or net cash provided by operating activities.

Adjusted EBITDA and cash available for distribution 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. You should not consider Adjusted EBITDA or cash available for distribution in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Additionally, because Adjusted EBITDA and cash available for distribution may be defined differently by other companies in our industry, our definition of Adjusted EBITDA and cash available for distribution may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing its utility. Please readRefer toReconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures” section below for the reconciliation of net income and cash provided by operating activities to Adjusted EBITDA and cash available for distribution.

Factors Affecting Our Business

Partnership business can be negatively affected by sustained downturns or slow growth in the economy in general and is impacted by shifts in supply and demand dynamics, the mix of services requested by the customers of our pipelines, competition and changes in regulatory requirements affecting our customers’ operations. For example, as discussed earlier, in March of 2020, the spot price of West Texas Intermediate (“WTI”) crude declined over 50% in response to reductions in global demand due to the COVID-19 pandemic and announcements by Saudi Arabia and Russia of plans to increase crude oil production. In addition to the collapse in oil prices, demand for many refined petroleum products has also declined sharply causing refineries to curtail output. The ultimate magnitude and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic, resulting governmental restrictions on the mobility of consumers and the related impact on crude oil prices and the U.S. and global economy and capital markets is uncertain. The uncertain future impacts of COVID-19 and swift shiftsWe did experience some reduction in volumes on River Rouge in the demand for oil may negatively impact our financial position, particularly our cash flows and liquidity.first quarter of 2021. As of the date of this Quarterly Report, all of our assets remain operational. We did experience some adverse financial impact at the end of the first quarter which we expect to continue.

Customers

BP is our primary customer. Total revenue from BP represented 96.7%97.3% and 97.4%96.7% of our revenues for the three months ended March 31, 20202021 and 2019,2020, respectively. BP’s volumes represented approximately 93.5%94.7% and 94.9%93.5% of the aggregate total volumes transported on the Wholly Owned Assets for the three months ended March 31, 20202021 and 2019,2020, respectively.

In addition, we transport and store crude oil, natural gas and diluent for a mix of third-party customers, including crude oil producers, refiners, marketers and traders, and Partnership assets are connected to other crude oil, natural gas and diluent pipeline systems. In addition to serving directly connected Midwestern U.S. and Gulf Coast markets, our pipelines have access to customers in various regions of the United States and Canada through interconnections with other major pipelines. Customers use our transportation and terminalling services for a variety of reasons. Producers of crude oil require the ability to deliver their product to market and frequently enter into firm transportation contracts to ensure that they will have sufficient capacity available to deliver their product to delivery points with greatest market liquidity. Marketers and traders generate income from buying and selling crude oil, natural gas, refined products and diluent to capitalize on price differentials over time or between markets. Our customer mix can vary over time and largely depends on the crude oil, natural gas, refined products and diluent supply and demand dynamics in our markets.

Regulation

Interstate common carrier pipelines are subject to regulation by various federal, state and local agencies including the FERC, the Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") and the Department of Transportation ("DOT").Transportation. On June 18, 2020, FERC issued a Notice of Inquiry requesting comments on a proposed oil pipeline index using the PPI-FG plus 0.09% as the index level, and requested comments on whether and how the index should reflect changes to FERC’s policies regarding income tax costs and return on equity. On December 17, 2020, in Docket No. RM20-14-000, FERC issued an order establishing a new index level of PPI-FG plus 0.78% for the five-year period commencing July 1, 2021. However, requests for rehearing of the December 2020 order establishing this indexing amount were filed with FERC, and those requests remain pending, with rehearing granted for purposes of extending the time FERC has to review these requests. FERC’s final application of its indexing rate methodology for the next five-year term of index rates may impact our revenues associated with any transportation services we may provide pursuant to rates adjusted by the FERC oil pipeline index.

Acquisition Opportunities

The Partnership plans to pursue acquisitions of complementary assets from BP as well as third parties subject to market conditions (including the ongoing effects of COVID-19) and our ability to obtain attractive financing. We may also may pursue acquisitions jointly with BP Pipelines. BP Pipelines has granted us a right of first offer with respect to its retained ownership interest in Mardi Gras and all of its interests in midstream pipeline systems and assets related thereto in the contiguous United States and offshore Gulf of Mexico that were owned by BP Pipelines when we were established. Neither BP nor any of its affiliates are under any obligation, however, to sell or offer to sell us additional assets or to pursue acquisitions jointly with us, and we are under no obligation to buy any additional assets from them or to pursue any joint acquisitions with them. We will focus our acquisition strategy on transportation and midstream assets within the crude oil, natural gas and refined products sectors. We believe that we are well positioned to acquire midstream assets from BP, and particularly BP Pipelines, as well as third parties, should such opportunities arise. Identifying and executing acquisitions will be a key part of our strategy. However, if we do not make acquisitions on economically acceptable terms, our future growth will be limited, and the acquisitions we do make may reduce, rather than increase, our available cash.

Financing

We expect to fund future capital expenditures primarily from external sources, including borrowings under our credit facility and potential future issuances of equity and debt securities.

We intend to make cash distributions to unitholders at a minimum distribution rate of $0.2625 per unit per quarter ($1.05 per unit on an annualized basis). Based on the terms of our cash distribution policy, we expect that we will distribute to unitholders and the General Partner, as the holder of incentive distribution rights,IDRs, most of the cash generated by operations.

Griffith Station Incident

On June 13, 2019, a building fire occurred at the Griffith Station on BP2. Management performed an evaluation of the assets and recordeddetermined that an impairment in 2019. Please refer to Note 14 – Commitments and Contingencies in the Partnership's 2019 10-K for further details.

was required. We have incurred $0.1 million for response expense during each of the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020.Our assets are insured with a deductible of $1.0 million per incident.Total costs associated with the incident were offset with an insurance receivable of $5.1 million on our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2020. The insurance receivable is recorded as $4.3$2.5 million under "Other current assets" and $0.8 million under "Other assets" on our condensed consolidated balance sheetsheets as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. In the event that insurance proceeds exceed the receivable balance, such amounts would be recognized as a gain. Refer to Part II, Item 8, Note 13 - Commitments and Contingencies in the Partnership's 2020 10-K for additional information.

Results of Operations

The following tables and discussion contain a summary of condensed consolidated results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 20202021 and 2019.2020.

As mentioned above, in the first quarter 2020, our financial condition and results of operations have not been significantly impacted by the current pandemic or the swift and material decline in commodity prices. We do, however, expect to experience a material financial impact if volumes shipped on our onshore assets remain below the MVCs through the end of 2020. Additionally, if the economic downturn extends into 2021 including limited demand for refined products and a depressed oil price, we would be exposed to lower volumes flowing through our onshore assets without the benefit of the current MVCs from BP. Lower volumes flowing through the offshore assets, either due to depressed demand or lack of storage capacity or both, could cause our income from equity method investments to decline until such time as demand recovers.

Capital Resources and Liquidity

Currently, we expect our primary ongoing sources of liquidity to be cash generated from operations (including distribution from our equity method investments), and, as needed, borrowings under our existing credit facility. The entities in which we own an interest may also incur debt. We believe that cash generated from these sources will be sufficient to meet our short-term working capital requirements and long-term capital expenditure requirements and to make quarterly cash distributions.

Based upon current expectations for the fiscal year 2021, we believe that our cash on hand, cash flow from operations and borrowings available under our credit facility will be sufficient to fund our operations for 2021. As of March 31, 2020,2021, our liquidity was $237.5$261.4 million, consisting of $105.5$129.4 million of cash and $132cash equivalents and $132.0 million available under our existing credit facility with BP. Our only outstanding indebtedness is $468.0 million borrowed under our term loan with an affiliate of BP, and there are no principal payments due until 2025.

As noted in “Decline in Demand and Potential Impact to Our Operations,” our assets remain operational and we have not experienced significant financial impacts in the first quarter of 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic and related declines in commodity prices as a result of our MVCs with respect to our onshore operations and the nature of our offshore operations. However, we do expect to experience a material financial impact if volumes shipped on our onshore assets remain below the MVCs through the end of 2020. Additionally, there is risk of decreased volumes with respect to the offshore operations if operators take actions to reduce operations in response to demand declines or increasingly limited storage availability or are unable to control COVID-19 infections on platforms and are required to shut-in. Our only debt outstanding is our $468 million borrowed under our term loan with an affiliate of BP, and there are no principal payments required with respect to that facility until 2025.

However, inIn the longer term, if reducedthere was a decrease in demand were to persist throughand such decrease persisted throughout 2021 andor longer, we may not be able to continue to generate similar levels of operating cash flow and our liquidity and capital resources may not be sufficient to make our current levels of cash distributions to unitholders or even meet our minimum quarterly distribution. In particular, if these conditions persist beyond December 31, 2020, and result in a significant decline in demand for our services with respect to our onshore pipelines, and BP does not renew or extend our MVCs at all or at similar levels, it could have a material adverse effect on our cash flows and financial condition, including limiting our ability to access capacity under our credit facility with BP if we are unable to meet the financial covenants or otherwise receive a waiver of the same. BP has no obligation to renew or extend our MVCs at
30


any level. Although weWe continue to actively work to mitigate the evolving challenges and growing impact of both the COVID-19 pandemic and the industry downturn on our operations, and our financial condition, cash flows and liquidity. However, there is no certainty that the measures we take will be ultimately sufficient. We are unable to reasonably predict when, or to what extent, demand for petroleum products and the overall markets and global economy will stabilize, and the pace of any subsequent recovery for the oil and gas industry. Further, to what extent these events do ultimately impact our business, liquidity, financial condition, and results of operations over the longer term is highly uncertain and dependent on numerous evolving factors that cannot be predicted, including the duration of the pandemic.

Cash Distributions

The board of directors of our General Partnergeneral partner has adopted a cash distribution policy pursuant to which we intend to pay a minimum quarterly distribution of $0.2625 per unit per quarter, which equates to approximately $27.5$27.5 million per quarter, or approximately $110
28


$110.0 million per year in the aggregate, based on the number of common and subordinated units outstanding as of March 31, 2020.2021. We intend to pay such distributions to the extent we have sufficient cash after the establishment of cash reserves and the payment of expenses, including payments to our General Partnergeneral partner and its affiliates.

Subordinated Unit Conversion

On April 15, 2020, we2021, the Partnership declared a cash distribution of $0.3475 per limited partner unit to unitholders of record on April 30, 2020,29, 2021, for the three months ended March 31, 2020.

Revolving Credit Facility

On October 30, 2017, the Partnership entered into the $600a $600.0 million unsecured Credit Facilityrevolving credit facility agreement with an affiliate of BP. The Credit Facilitycredit facility terminates on October 30, 2022 and provides for certain covenants, including the requirement to maintain a consolidated leverage ratio, which is calculated as total indebtedness to consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Facility)credit facility), not to exceed 5.0 to 1.0, subject to a temporary increase in such ratio to 5.5 to 1.0 in connection with certain material acquisitions.In addition, the limited liability company agreement of our General Partnergeneral partner requires the approval of BP Holdco prior to the incurrence of any indebtedness that would cause our leverage ratio to exceed 4.5 to 1.0.

The Credit Facilitycredit facility also contains customary events of default, such as (i) nonpayment of principal when due, (ii) nonpayment of interest, fees or other amounts, (iii) breach of covenants, (iv) misrepresentation, (v) cross-payment default and cross-acceleration (in each case, to indebtedness in excess of $75$75.0 million) and (vi) insolvency. Additionally, the Credit Facilitycredit facility limits our ability to, among other things: (i) incur or guarantee additional debt, (ii) redeem or repurchase units or make distributions under certain circumstances; and (iii) incur certain liens or permit them to exist. Indebtedness under this facility bears interest at the 3-month London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") plus 0.85%.

Item 1A. RISK FACTORS

The Partnership is subject to various risks and uncertainties in the course of business. Security holders and potential investors in the Partnership's securities should carefully consider the risk factors set forth below and set forth under Risk Factors“Risk Factors” in the Partnership's 20192020 10-K.

Events outside As of the date of this Quarterly Report, there have been no material changes in our control, including a pandemic such as the recent global outbreak of COVID-19, and the potential global recession could have a material adverse impact on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

In the first quarter of 2020, the COVID-19 outbreak spread quickly across the globe. Federal, state and local governments mobilized to implement containment mechanisms and minimize impacts to their populations and economies. Various containment measures, which included the quarantining of cities, regions and countries have resulted in a severe drop in general economic activity and a decrease in energy demand. The risks associated with COVID-19 have also impacted the BP Pipelines workforce and the way we meet our business objectives.

The impacts of a global recession would likely extend the time for the current oil markets to absorb excess supplies and rebalance inventory resulting in decreased demand for our midstream services for a number of future quarters.

The current commodity price environment may remain depressed based on over-supply, decreasing demand and a potential global economic recession, as is evidenced by the current historically low pricesrisk factors from those described in the forward curve for oil, for several years. With decreased demand and the storage and transportation constraints further adding to the pressure on commodities prices, refiners have started to curtail output and producers all over the world – including in the United States – have significantly decreased their capital programs and even started to shut-in production. Substantially all of the volumes that we transport through our onshore pipelines are dependent on the ongoing operation of the Whiting Refinery. If these conditions persist beyond December 31,Partnership’s 2020 and result in a significant decline in demand for our services with respect to our onshore pipelines and BP does not renew or extend our MVCs at all or at similar levels, it could have a material adverse effect on our financial results and condition. BP has no obligation to renew or extend our MVCs at any level. In addition, it is possible that volumes may be reduced on our offshore pipelines as well, which are not covered by any MVCs. In the short term, there is risk of decreased volumes with respect to the offshore operations if operators take actions to reduce operations in response to demand
33


declines or increasingly limited storage availability or are unable to control COVID-19 infections on platforms and are required to shut-in. In the longer term, there is risk that our customers cease investing in additional offshore projects in a protracted low commodity price environment, which would harm our growth. Our profitability may be significantly affected by this decreased demand and these factors could lead to reductions in our distributions to unitholders.

In addition, the outbreak of COVID-19 could potentially further impact the BP Pipelines workforce. The infection of key personnel, and/or the infection of a significant amount of the BP Pipelines workforce, could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations. BP employees have been working from home since March 16, 2020, except those deemed critical to the functioning of owned and managed assets. A remote workforce could introduce risks to achieving business objectives and/or the ability to maintain our controls and procedures. For example, the technology required for the transition to remote work increases our vulnerability to cybersecurity threats, including threats of unauthorized access to sensitive information or to render data or systems unusable, the impact of which may have material adverse effects on our business and operations. See “Item 1A. Risk Factors - Terrorist or cyber-attacks and threats, or escalation of military activity in response to these attacks, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations” in the Partnership's 2019 10-K.

In addition to the risks stated above, our operations are subject to additional risks related to the current economic environment caused by the factors discussed above, including:

our debt service requirements and other liabilities, and restrictions contained in our debt agreements;
our ability to maintain sufficient cash available for distribution following the establishment of cash reserves and payment of fees and expenses, to enable us to pay minimum quarterly distributions to unitholders;
unavailability of third-party pipelines, production platforms, refineries, caverns and other facilities interconnected to our pipelines to transport, produce, refine or store crude oil, natural gas, refined products or diluent;
demand for refined products or diluent, continues to decrease; and
the risk of further adverse changes BP’s production or development plans, which we are dependent on for a majority of the crude oil, natural gas, refined products and diluent that we transport

The impacts of COVID-19 and the significant drop in consumer demand has had an unprecedented impact on the global economy and our business. We are unable to predict all potential impacts to our business, the severity of such impacts or the duration.
