PART I
FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion of the financial condition and results of operations of Macquarie Infrastructure Corporation (MIC) should be read in conjunction with the consolidated condensed financial statements and the notes to those statements included elsewhere herein.
MIC is a Delaware corporation formed on May 21, 2015. MIC’s predecessor, Macquarie Infrastructure Company LLC, was formed on April 13, 2004. Except as otherwise specified, all references in this Form 10-Q to “MIC”, “we”, “us”, and “our” refer to Macquarie Infrastructure Corporation and its subsidiaries.
MIC is externally managed by Macquarie Infrastructure Management (USA) Inc. (our Manager), pursuant to the terms of a Management Services Agreement, subject to the oversight and supervision of our Board. The majority of the members of our Board, and the members of all Board committees, are independent and have no affiliation with Macquarie. Our Manager is a member of the Macquarie Group of companies comprising Macquarie Group Limited and its subsidiaries and affiliates worldwide. Macquarie Group Limited is headquartered in Australia and is listed on the Australian Securities Exchange.
We currently own and operate a portfolio of infrastructure and infrastructure-like businesses that provide services to corporations, government agencies and individual customers primarily in the United States (U.S.). Our businesses are organized into four segments:
| |
• | International-Matex Tank Terminals (IMTT): a business providing bulk liquid terminalling to third parties at 17 terminals in the U.S. and two in Canada; |
| |
• | Atlantic Aviation: a provider of fuel, terminal, aircraft hangaring and other services primarily to owners and operators of general aviation (GA) jet aircraft at 70 airports throughout the U.S.; |
| |
• | MIC Hawaii: comprising an energy company that processes and distributes gas and provides related services (Hawaii Gas) and several smaller businesses collectively engaged in efforts to reduce the cost and improve the reliability and sustainability of energy in Hawaii; and |
| |
• | Corporate and Other: comprising MIC Corporate (holding company) and a shared services center. |
Effective October 1, 2018, the Bayonne Energy Center (BEC) and substantially all of our portfolio of solar and wind power generation businesses were classified as discontinued operations and our Contracted Power segment was eliminated. All prior comparable periods have been restated to reflect this change. In July 2019, we completed the sales of our wind power generating portfolio and all but one of the assets in our solar power generating portfolio. The sale of the remaining solar facility closed during September 2019. On January 1, 2019, we also classified our majority interest in a renewable power development business as a discontinued operation, the sale of which closed in July 2019. We did not restate the prior period as the disposition was deemed insignificant. A remaining relationship with a third-party developer of renewable power facilities has been reported as a component of Corporate and Other through the expiration of the relationship in July 2019. For additional information, see Note 3, “Discontinued Operations and Dispositions”, in our Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in Part I of this Form 10-Q.
Our businesses generally operate in sectors with barriers to entry including high initial development and construction costs, contracted revenues or the requirement to obtain government approvals and a lack of immediate cost-effective alternatives to the services provided. Collectively, they tend to generate sustainable, stable and growing cash flows over the long-term.
Overview
Use of Non-GAAP measures
In addition to our results under U.S. GAAP, we use certain non-GAAP measures to assess the performance and prospects of our businesses. In particular, we use EBITDA excluding non-cash items and Free Cash Flow.
We measure EBITDA excluding non-cash items as it reflects our businesses’ ability to effectively manage the volume of products sold or services provided, the operating margin earned on those transactions and the management of operating expenses independent of the capitalization and tax attributes of those businesses.
In analyzing the financial performance of our businesses, we focus primarily on cash generation and Free Cash Flow in particular. We believe investors use Free Cash Flow as a measure of our ability to sustain and potentially increase our quarterly cash dividend and to fund a portion of our growth.
See “Results of Operations — Consolidated — Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) excluding non-cash items and Free Cash Flow” for further information on our calculation of EBITDA excluding non-cash items and Free Cash Flow and for reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP measures.
At IMTT, we focus on providing bulk liquid storage, handling and other services pursuant to “take-or-pay” contracts to customers who place a premium on ease of access and operational flexibility. The revenue weighted average remaining contract life was 1.9 years at September 30, 2019.
At Atlantic Aviation, our focus is on the sale of fuel and other services to owners and pilots of GA aircraft through our fixed based operations (FBOs) resulting in a gross margin that is positively correlated with the number of GA flight movements (take-offs and landings) in the U.S. and the business’ ability to service a portion of the aircraft involved in those operations.
MIC Hawaii comprises Hawaii Gas and several smaller businesses that generate revenue primarily from the provision of gas services to commercial, residential and governmental customers and the generation of power while engaging in efforts to reduce the cost and improve the reliability and sustainability of energy in Hawaii.
Dividends
Since January 1, 2018, MIC has paid or declared the following dividends:
|
| | | | | | | | | | |
Declared | | Period Covered | | $ per Share | | Record Date | | Payable Date |
October 29, 2019 | | Third quarter 2019 | | $ | 1.00 |

| | November 12, 2018 | | November 15, 2018 |
July 31, 2018 | | Second quarter 2018 | | 1.00 |

May 1, 2018 | | First quarter 2018 | | 1.00 |
| | May 14, 2018 | | May 17, 2018 |
February 19, 2018 | | Fourth quarter 2017 | | 1.44 |
| | March 5, 2018 | | March 8, 2018 |
We intend to provide investors with the benefits of access to a portfolio of infrastructure and infrastructure-like businesses that we believe will generate growing amounts of cash flow over time as a result of their positive correlation with inflation and provision of basic services to customers. Consistent with this, we intend to distribute the majority of the cash generated from operations of our businesses as a quarterly cash dividend. Our Board has authorized a quarterly cash dividend of $1.00 per share for the quarter ended September 30, 2019.
Our Board regularly reviews our dividend policy and the proportion of our Free Cash Flow that the distribution represents (payout ratio). In determining whether to adjust the amount of our quarterly dividend, our Board will take into account such matters as the state of the capital markets and general business and economic conditions, the impact of any acquisitions or dispositions related to our pursuit of strategic alternatives, the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, indebtedness levels, capital requirements, capital opportunities and any contractual, legal and regulatory restrictions on the payment of dividends by the Company to its shareholders or by its subsidiaries to the Company, and any other factors that it deems relevant, subject to maintaining a prudent level of reserves and without creating undue volatility in the amount of such dividends where possible. Moreover, the Company’s senior secured credit facility and the debt commitments at our businesses contain restrictions that may limit the Company’s ability to pay dividends. Although historically we have declared cash dividends on our shares, any or all of these or other factors could result in the modification of our dividend policy, or the reduction, modification or elimination of our dividend in the future.
Recent Developments
Pursuit of Strategic Alternatives
In October 2019, our Board resolved to actively pursue strategic alternatives including a sale of our Company or our operating businesses as a means of unlocking value for shareholders. There is no set timetable for completing any transaction and there can be no assurance that any transactions will occur on favorable terms or at all. See our Current Report on Form 8-K date October 31, 2019 for additional information.
Disposition Agreement
To facilitate our pursuit of strategic alternatives, we announced that we have entered into a disposition agreement with Macquarie Infrastructure Management (USA) Inc. (MIMUSA), the external manager of our Company on October 30, 2019. Other than pursuant to this agreement, we do not have the ability to terminate the Management Services Agreement other than in limited circumstances. Pursuant to this agreement, our Management Services Agreement with MIMUSA will terminate as to any businesses, or substantial portions thereof, that are sold and, in connection therewith, we will make a payment to MIMUSA based on the proceeds generated in the event of such sales and certain additional payments under certain circumstances. The disposition agreement will terminate on the earlier to occur of (i) the termination of the Management Services Agreement and (ii) the sixth anniversary, subject to extension under certain circumstances if a transaction is pending. See our Current Report on Form 8-K dated October 31, 2019 for additional information.
Business Divestitures
During the fourth quarter of 2018, we commenced a sale process involving our portfolios of 142 megawatts (MW) (gross) of solar generation assets and 203 MW (gross) of wind generation assets, both of which had been designated as discontinued operations. In July 2019, we completed the sale of our wind power generating portfolio and all but one of the assets in our solar power generating portfolio. The sale of the remaining solar facility closed during September 2019. In July 2019, we also completed the sale of our majority interest in a renewable power development business. We received aggregate gross proceeds from these sales of approximately $275 million, or approximately $210 million net of taxes and transaction related expenses. Upon closing of the transactions involving the portfolios of operating solar and wind assets, we deconsolidated $295 million of long-term debt. For additional information, see Note 3, “Discontinued Operations and Dispositions”, in our Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in Part I of this Form 10-Q.
2.875% Convertible Senior Notes due July 2019
On July 15, 2019, we fully repaid the outstanding balance of $350 million on our 2.875% Convertible Senior Notes due July 2019 at maturity using cash on hand.
Results of Operations
Consolidated
Consistent with our strategic objective of divesting of smaller and non-core businesses, in July 2019, we completed the sale of our wind power generating portfolio and all but one of the assets in our solar power generating portfolio. The sale of the remaining solar facility closed during September 2019. In July 2019, we also completed the sale of our majority interest in a renewable power development business and concluded a relationship with a third party developer of renewable power facilities in July 2019.
In July 2019, we fully repaid the outstanding balance of $350 million of 2.875% Convertible Senior Notes at maturity on July 15, 2019 using cash on hand. Following the sales of the renewable businesses and the deconsolidating the related debt, our leverage at September 30, 2019 was 3.6 times net debt/EBITDA, from 4.0 times at the end of the second quarter.
For the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2019, our consolidated results reflect: (i) increases in hangar rental revenue and the volume of fuel sold at Atlantic Aviation; and (ii) the sale of the mechanical contractor business in November 2018 by our MIC Hawaii segment. Contributions to our results for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2019 were partially offset by overall higher professional services fees.
The increase in our consolidated results for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 also reflects: (i) proceeds received in respect of the termination of an agreement with the owner of a refinery at IMTT’s terminal in St. Rose, LA (the refinery termination payment); and (ii) the positive impact of new utility rates implemented in July 2018 at Hawaii Gas. These increases are partially offset by lower fee income from a third party developer of renewable power projects recorded as a component of Corporate and Other and the sale of an environmental services business by our IMTT segment.
Results for discontinued operations increased for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared with the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2018 primarily as a result of the gain on sale of our wind and solar power generating facilities and the gain on sale of our majority interest in a renewable power development business. The increases in the 2019 periods were partially offset by the absence of a contribution from the BEC business, which was sold in October 2018, and the income tax expense associated with the gain on sale of renewable businesses in 2019.

For the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2018, interest expense includes gains on derivative instruments of $3 million and $17 million, respectively. |
Results of Operations: Consolidated – (continued)
Revenue
Consolidated revenues decreased for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared with the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2018 primarily as a result of, (i) the sale of the mechanical contractor business by our MIC Hawaii segment; (ii) lower wholesale cost of fuel at Atlantic Aviation; and (iii) lower volume of gas sold by Hawaii Gas. These decreases were partially offset by increases in hangar rentals and the volume of fuel sold at Atlantic Aviation.
The decrease in consolidated revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 also reflects the sale of an environmental services business by IMTT, partially offset by the receipt of the refinery termination payment by IMTT and the positive impact of new utility rates implemented at Hawaii Gas.
Cost of Services and Cost of Product Sales
Consolidated cost of services and cost of product sales decreased for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared with the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2018 primarily as a result of the absence of costs related to the mechanical contractor business at MIC Hawaii and lower wholesale cost of fuel at Atlantic Aviation. The decrease in our consolidated cost of services and cost of product sales were partially offset by higher labor costs, an increase in property taxes at IMTT and unfavorable changes in unrealized gains (losses) on commodity hedges at Hawaii Gas versus the prior comparable periods. See “Results of Operations — MIC Hawaii” below).
The decrease in consolidated cost of services and cost of product sales for the nine months September 30, 2019 also reflects the sale of the environmental services business at IMTT.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared with the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2018 primarily as a result of, (i) higher salaries and benefits, rent and professional fees at Atlantic Aviation; (ii) an increase in expenses incurred in connection with our intention to pursue strategic alternatives; and, (iii) expenses related to a long-term incentive compensation plan for senior management of our operating businesses implemented in 2019. The nine months ended September 30, 2019 also includes consulting expenses incurred in connection with our evaluation of opportunities for improved efficiencies.
The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses were partially offset by the absence of expenses related to businesses that were sold during 2018, lower costs incurred in connection with the evaluation of various investment and acquisition and disposition opportunities and lower professional services fees, primarily in connection with ongoing litigation.
Fees to Manager
Our Manager is entitled to a monthly base management fee based on our market capitalization and potentially a quarterly performance fee based on total stockholder returns relative to a U.S. utilities index. For the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2019, we incurred base management fees of $8 million and $23 million, respectively, compared with $12 million and $36 million for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively. Base management fees decreased for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared with the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2018 primarily due to the Manager’s waiver of two elements of the base management fee to which it is entitled and a reduction in the market capitalization of our Company. For the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2019, base management fees were calculated on the equity market capitalization of our Company less cash on hand at the holding company. No performance fees were incurred in either of the current or prior comparable periods. The unpaid portion of base management fees and performance fees, if any, at the end of each reporting period is included in the line item Due to Manager-related party in our consolidated condensed balance sheets.
In accordance with the Third Amended and Restated Management Services Agreement, our Manager elected to reinvest any fees to which it was entitled in new primary shares in all of the period shown below and has currently elected to reinvest future base management fees and performance fees, if any, in new primary shares.

(1) | Our Manager elected to reinvest all of the monthly base management fees for the third quarter of 2019 in new primary shares. We issued 201,827 shares for the quarter ended September 30, 2019, including 67,659 shares that were issued in October 2019 for the September 2019 monthly base management fee. |
Goodwill Impairment
During the quarter ended September 30, 2018, we wrote-off the goodwill balance related to the mechanical contractor business.
Depreciation
The increase in depreciation expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2018 primarily reflects assets placed in service, partially offset by the write-off of fixed assets related to the mechanical contractor business in 2018.
Amortization of Intangibles
Amortization of intangibles decreased for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared with the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2018 primarily due to the write-off of intangible assets related to the mechanical contractor business in 2018.
Interest Expense and (Losses) Gains on Derivative Instruments
Interest expense includes losses on derivative instruments of $2 million and $14 million for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, and gains on derivative instruments of $3 million and $17 million for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively. Gains (losses) on derivatives recorded in interest expense are attributable to the change in fair value of interest rate hedging instruments. Excluding the derivative adjustments, cash interest expense was $27 million and $86 million for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, compared with $26 million and $74 million for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2018. The increase in cash interest expense reflects primarily an increase in the weighted average interest rate of all debt facilities. See discussions of interest expense for each of our operating businesses below.
Other (Expense) Income, net
The change in other (expense) income, net for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared with the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2018 primarily reflects the write-down of our investment in the mechanical contractor business during the quarter ended September, 30 2018, partially offset by the decrease in fee income in 2019 from a third party developer of renewable power facilities. The relationship with the developer concluded in July 2019.
Income Taxes
We file a consolidated federal income tax return that includes the financial results of IMTT, Atlantic Aviation, MIC Hawaii and our allocable share of the taxable income (loss) from the solar and wind facilities in discontinued operations. The solar and wind facilities in which we owned less than 100% of the equity were held in limited liability companies and treated as partnerships for tax purposes. Pursuant to a tax sharing agreement, the businesses included in our consolidated federal income tax return pay MIC an amount equal to the federal income tax each would have paid on a standalone basis as if they were not part of the consolidated federal income tax return. In addition, our businesses file income tax returns and may pay taxes in the state and local jurisdictions in which they operate.
Results of Operations: Consolidated – (continued)
We expect our current year federal taxable income from continuing operations for the year ending December 31, 2019 to be approximately $150 million including tax deductions associated with planned capital deployments between $200 million and $220 million. Our federal Net Operating Loss (NOL) carryforwards at December 31, 2018 was $152 million, and we therefore expect no current federal income tax liability on income from continuing operations in 2019. Our current state income tax liability on continuing operations for the year ending December 31, 2019 is expected to be $16 million. In calculating our consolidated state income tax provision, we have provided a valuation allowance for certain state income tax NOL carryforwards, the use of which is uncertain.
During the quarter ended September 30, 2019, we recorded $43 million in current federal income tax liability and $9 million in current income state tax liability primarily related to the taxable gain on our disposition of the renewable businesses recorded in discontinued operations.
Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) excluding non-cash items and Free Cash Flow
In addition to our results under U.S. GAAP, we use certain non-GAAP measures to assess the performance and prospects of our businesses. In particular, we use EBITDA excluding non-cash items and Free Cash Flow.
We measure EBITDA excluding non-cash items as it reflects our businesses’ ability to effectively manage the volume of products sold or services provided, the operating margin earned on those transactions and the management of operating expenses independent of the capitalization and tax attributes of those businesses. We believe investors use EBITDA excluding non-cash items primarily as a measure of the operating performance of MIC’s businesses and to make comparisons with the operating performance of other businesses whose depreciation and amortization expense may vary widely from ours, particularly where acquisitions and other non-operating factors are involved. We define EBITDA excluding non-cash items as net income (loss) or earnings — the most comparable GAAP measure — before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and non-cash items including impairments, unrealized derivative gains and losses, adjustments for other non-cash items and pension expense reflected in the statements of operations. EBITDA excluding non-cash items also excludes base management fees and performance fees, if any, whether paid in cash or stock.
Our businesses are characteristically owners of high-value, long-lived assets capable of generating substantial Free Cash Flow. We define Free Cash Flow as cash from operating activities — the most comparable GAAP measure — which includes cash interest, tax payments and pension contributions, less maintenance capital expenditures, which includes principal repayments on capital lease obligations used to fund maintenance capital expenditures, and excludes changes in working capital.
We use Free Cash Flow as a measure of our ability to sustain and potentially increase our quarterly cash dividend and funding a portion of our growth. GAAP metrics such as net income (loss) do not provide us with the same level of visibility into our performance and prospects as a result of: (i) the capital intensive nature of our businesses and the generation of non-cash depreciation and amortization; (ii) shares issued to our external Manager under the Management Services Agreement; (iii) our ability to defer all or a portion of current federal income taxes; (iv) non-cash unrealized gains or losses on derivative instruments; (v) gains (losses) on disposal of assets; (vi) non-cash compensation expenses related to a long-term incentive compensation plan for senior management of the operating businesses implemented in 2019; and (vii) pension expenses. Pension expenses primarily consist of interest cost, expected return on plan assets and amortization of actuarial and performance gains and losses. Any cash contributions to pension plans are reflected as a reduction to Free Cash Flow and are not included in pension expense. We believe that external consumers of our financial statements, including investors and research analysts, use Free Cash Flow both to assess MIC’s performance and as an indicator of its success in generating an attractive risk-adjusted total return.
In this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we have disclosed Free Cash Flow on a consolidated basis and for each of our operating segments and MIC Corporate and Other. We believe that both EBITDA excluding non-cash items and Free Cash Flow support a more complete and accurate understanding of the financial and operating performance of our businesses than would otherwise be achieved using GAAP results alone.
Free Cash Flow does not take into consideration required payments on indebtedness and other fixed obligations or other cash items that are excluded from our definition of Free Cash Flow. We note that Free Cash Flow may be calculated differently by other companies thereby limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure. Free Cash Flow should be used as a supplemental measure and not in lieu of our financial results reported under GAAP.
Classification of Maintenance Capital Expenditures and Growth Capital Expenditures
We categorize capital expenditures as either maintenance capital expenditures or growth capital expenditures. As neither maintenance capital expenditure nor growth capital expenditure is a GAAP term, we have adopted a framework to categorize specific capital expenditures. In broad terms, maintenance capital expenditures primarily maintain our businesses at current levels of operations, capability, profitability or cash flow, while growth capital expenditures primarily provide new or enhanced levels of operations, capability, profitability or cash flows. We consider a number of factors in determining whether a specific capital expenditure will be classified as maintenance or growth.
Results of Operations: Consolidated – (continued)
We do not bifurcate specific capital expenditures into maintenance and growth components. Each discrete capital expenditure is considered within the above framework and the entire capital expenditure is classified as either maintenance or growth.
A reconciliation of net income from continuing operations to EBITDA excluding non-cash items from continuing operations and a reconciliation from cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations to Free Cash Flow from continuing operations, on a consolidated basis, is provided below. Similar reconciliations for each of our operating businesses and Corporate and Other follow.

Results of Operations: IMTT
The financial performance of IMTT is in large part a function of the amount of bulk liquid storage capacity the business has under contract and the rates for storage and other services achieved on those contracts. The portion of IMTT’s storage capacity under contract (utilization) averaged 85.2% and 83.6% for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, compared with 82.1% and 85.4% for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively. Utilization averaged 82.9% for the quarter ended June 30, 2019.
IMTT has renewed certain contracts in the New York Harbor at reduced average rates for storage and handling of clean petroleum products in that market. Lower average storage rates will have an adverse impact on IMTT's financial results over the near term. The business believes that it will regain the ability to raise prices when the supply of storage in the market tightens. The impact of lower average rates is expected to be partially offset by an increase in utilization related to demand for storage and logistics for a range of products coinciding with the implementation of the International Maritime Organization’s IMO Marpol Annex VI (IMO 2020) regulations on January 1, 2020. The impact of the implementation of IMO 2020 on demand for storage and related services cannot be determined with certainty, although IMTT is currently experiencing an increase in utilization for storage of heavy and residual products at its St. Rose, LA terminal as a result of IMO 2020.
Repurposing
In early 2018, IMTT announced that it could repurpose up to 3.0 million barrels of storage capacity on the Lower Mississippi River, of which approximately 1.3 million barrels was repurposed in 2018. IMTT continues to evaluate opportunities to repurpose capacity in line with market demand, but at present there is sufficient demand for IMTT's storage capacity on the Lower Mississippi River as configured. As a result, there is no need to actively repurpose any incremental capacity at present.
Repositioning
Repositioning includes projects intended to leverage IMTT’s existing terminal locations by increasing capacity, capability and connectivity designed to meet customer demand and/or further diversify the mix of products handled. To date, IMTT has invested approximately $52 million of the approximately $175 million of previously announced repositioning projects. IMTT has experienced delays in the expenditures associated with certain projects in Louisiana due to construction restrictions by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers as a result of higher than normal water levels on the Mississippi River. Most of the projects that have been delayed would not have been placed in service until late 2019 or early 2020, thus their impact on IMTT’s 2019 financial results is expected to be minimal.
The successful implementation of the repurposing and repositioning initiatives is, over time, expected to, (i) improve utilization and average storage rates; (ii) increase exposure to those products that we believe have better growth prospects; (iii) generate a larger proportion of IMTT’s revenue from longer-dated contracts; and, (iv) reduce IMTT's exposure to short-term contracts for heavy and residual oil storage.

Revenue
IMTT generates the majority of its revenue from contracts comprising a fixed monthly charge for access to or use of a specified amount of capacity, infrastructure or land. The monthly charge typically increases annually with inflation. We refer to revenue generated from such contracts or fixed charges as firm commitments. At September 30, 2019, firm commitments had a revenue weighted average remaining contract life of 1.9 years. Certain contracts for chemical and vegetable oil products are renewing and initiating for longer durations. Revenue from firm commitments, excluding proceeds received related to the refinery termination payment in the quarter ended March 31, 2019, comprised 83.1% and 81.7% of total revenue for the quarter and trailing twelve months ended September 30, 2019, respectively.
Results of Operations: IMTT – (continued)
For the quarter ended September 30, 2019, total revenue was flat compared with the quarter ended September 30, 2018 primarily due to an increase in utilization, partially offset by lower average storage rates on new and renewing contracts.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, total revenue increased by $12 million compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2018 primarily due to the receipt of a $39 million refinery termination payment. The increase was partially offset by the absence of revenue as a result of the sale of an environmental services business in April 2018, the decline in utilization and lower average storage rates on new and renewing contracts.
Cost of Services and Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Cost of services and selling, general and administrative expenses combined increased by $8 million and $3 million for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared with the prior comparable periods, respectively. The increase in costs were primarily due to higher labor costs, an increase in property taxes assessed on the terminal at St. Rose LA, expenses related to a long-term incentive compensation plan implemented in 2019 and increased repair and maintenance costs. The increase in cost of services and selling, general and administrative expenses combined is partially offset by the absence of costs due to the sale of an environmental services business in April 2018.
Interest Expense, Net
Interest expense includes losses on derivative instruments of $1 million and $6 million for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, compared with gains on derivative instruments of $1 million and $7 million for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively. Excluding the derivative adjustments, cash interest expense was $9 million and $29 million for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, compared with $12 million and approximately $35 million for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively. The decreases in cash interest expense reflects lower average debt balances in 2019 compared with 2018.
Income Taxes
The taxable income generated by IMTT is reported on our consolidated federal income tax return. The business files standalone state and foreign income tax returns in the jurisdictions in which it operates. For the year ending December 31, 2019, the business expects to pay state and foreign income taxes of approximately $7 million. The Provision for current income taxes of $19 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 in the above table includes $11 million of federal income tax expense and $8 million of state and foreign income tax expense.
The majority of the difference between IMTT’s book and federal taxable income relates to depreciation of terminal fixed assets. For book purposes, these fixed assets are depreciated primarily over 5 to 30 years using the straight-line method of depreciation. For federal income tax purposes, these same fixed assets are depreciated primarily over 5 to 15 years using accelerated methods. In addition, most terminal fixed assets qualify for federal bonus tax depreciation. A significant portion of terminal fixed assets in Louisiana that were constructed in the period after Hurricane Katrina in 2005 were financed with GO Zone Bonds. GO Zone Bond financed assets are depreciated, for tax purposes, primarily over 9 to 20 years using the straight-line method. Most of the states in which the business operates do not allow the use of bonus tax depreciation. Louisiana allows the use of bonus tax depreciation other than for assets financed with GO Zone Bonds.
IMTT has state NOL carryforwards that are specific to the state in which the NOL carryforwards were generated. The utilization of these NOL carryforwards may reduce or eliminate state taxable income in the future.
Maintenance Capital Expenditures
For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, IMTT incurred maintenance capital expenditures of $28 million and $29 million on an accrual basis and cash basis, respectively, compared with $21 million on both an accrual basis and cash basis for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. IMTT expects to incur between $35 million and $40 million of maintenance capital expenditures in 2019 compared with $33 million in 2018. The increase in maintenance capital expenditures in 2019 is the result of an estimated $12 million expenditure on the first phase of the rehabilitation of a pier in Bayonne. The total cost of maintaining the pier is expected to be approximately $30 million and the work is anticipated to be completed within four years.
Results of Operations: Atlantic Aviation
The fundamental driver of the performance of Atlantic Aviation is the number of GA flight movements in a given period. Over the long-term, the rate of growth in GA flight movements tends to be positively correlated with the level of economic activity in the U.S. Based on data reported by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), industry-wide domestic flight activity increased by 0.7% for the quarter ended September 30, 2019 and increased by 0.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 versus the prior comparable periods. According to the U.S. Federal Reserve, the U.S. economy (GDP) is forecast to expand at a rate of 2.2% in 2019. It is unclear if the divergence in these data points represents anything other than a temporary break in the historical correlation. In addition to other shorter-term factors like weather conditions and the timing and location of specific events, it is possible that declining confidence in the macroeconomic outlook for the U.S. may have, or may in the future, negatively impact the level of GA flight activity.
According to the data reported by the FAA, the total number of GA flight movements at airports where Atlantic Aviation operates increased by 1.0% and 0.3% during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, versus the prior comparable periods.
Atlantic Aviation seeks to extend FBO leases prior to their maturity in order to maintain visibility into the cash generating capacity of these assets over the long-term. Atlantic Aviation calculates a weighted average remaining lease life based on EBITDA excluding non-cash items in the prior calendar year adjusted for the impact of acquisitions and dispositions. The weighted average remaining lease life was 19.2 years at September 30, 2019 compared with 19.9 years at September 30, 2018.

Results of Operations: Atlantic Aviation – (continued)
Atlantic Aviation generates the majority of its revenue from sales of jet fuel. Increases and decreases in the cost of jet fuel are generally passed through to customers. Accordingly, revenue will fluctuate based on the cost of jet fuel to Atlantic Aviation and reported revenue may not reflect the business’ ability to effectively manage volume and fuel margin. For example, an increase in revenue may be attributable to an increase in the cost of the jet fuel and not an increase in the volume sold to customers or margin per gallon earned by the business on those sales. Conversely, a decline in revenue may be attributable to a decrease in the cost of jet fuel and not a reduction in the volume sold to customers or margin per gallon earned by the business.
Gross margin, which we define as revenue less cost of services, excluding depreciation and amortization, is the effective “top line” for Atlantic Aviation as it reflects the business’ ability to drive growth in the volume of products and services sold and the margins earned on those sales over time. We believe that our investors view gross margin as reflective of our ability to manage volume and price throughout the commodity cycle. Gross margin can be reconciled to operating income — the most comparable GAAP measure — by subtracting selling, general and administrative expenses and depreciation and amortization in the table above.
Revenue and Gross Margin
The majority of the revenue generated and the gross margin earned by Atlantic Aviation is the result of fueling GA aircraft at facilities located on the 70 U.S. airports at which the business operates. Atlantic Aviation seeks to maintain and, where appropriate, increase dollar-based margins on fuel sales.
Revenue decreased for the quarter ended September 30, 2019 compared with the quarter ended September 30, 2018 as a result of a lower wholesale cost of fuel, partially offset by increases in hangar rental revenue and the volume of fuel sold. Revenue increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2018 as a result of increases in the volume of fuel sold and hangar rental revenue, partially offset by lower wholesale cost of fuel. The decrease in the wholesale cost of fuel was offset by a corresponding decrease in cost of services. The result for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2019 does not include any material contribution from acquisitions in the prior comparable periods.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared with the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2018 primarily as a result of higher salaries and benefits, rent and professional fees.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization expense increased for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared with the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2018 primarily as a result of assets placed in service.
Operating Income
Operating income decreased for the quarter ended September 30, 2019 compared with the quarter ended September 30, 2018 primarily due to the increases in selling, general and administrative expenses and depreciation and amortization, partially offset by the increase in gross margin. Operating income increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2018 primarily due to the increase in gross margin, partially offset by the increase in selling, general and administrative expenses and depreciation and amortization.
Interest Expense, Net
Interest expense includes losses on derivative instruments of $1 million and $7 million for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, and gains on derivative instruments of $2 million and $9 million for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively. Excluding the derivative adjustments, cash interest expense was $15 million and $44 million for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, compared with $7 million and approximately $20 million for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively. The increase in cash interest expense reflects a higher average debt balance and a higher weighted average interest rate.
Cash interest expense for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2018 includes the cash interest expense related to the $403 million of MIC Corporate 2.00% Convertible Senior Notes due October 2023 that was reclassified to Atlantic Aviation through December 6, 2018, the date of Atlantic Aviation’s refinancing. The proceeds from this Note issuance in October 2016 were used principally to reduce the drawn balance of Atlantic Aviation’s revolving credit facility. Cash interest expense on the Note issuance is recorded in Corporate and Other after December 6, 2018.
Income Taxes
The taxable income generated by Atlantic Aviation is included on our consolidated federal income tax return. The business files standalone state income tax returns in the majority of the states in which it operates. The tax expense in the table above includes both state income taxes and the portion of the consolidated federal income tax liability attributable to the business.
Results of Operations: Atlantic Aviation – (continued)
For the year ending December 31, 2019, the business expects to pay state income taxes of approximately $7 million. The Provision for current income taxes of $14 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 in the above table includes $9 million of federal income tax expense and $5 million of state income tax expense.
Atlantic Aviation has state NOL carryforwards that are specific to the state in which the NOL carryforwards were generated. The utilization of these NOL carryforwards may reduce or eliminate state taxable income in the future.
Maintenance Capital Expenditures
For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, Atlantic Aviation incurred maintenance capital expenditures of $8 million and $7 million on an accrual basis and cash basis, respectively, compared with $5 million on both an accrual basis and cash basis for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.
Results of Operations: MIC Hawaii
The financial performance of MIC Hawaii is a function of the number of customers served and their consumption of energy and the prices achieved in each of Hawaii Gas’s utility and non-utility operations and under power purchase agreements. The volume of gas consumption is correlated with general economic activity over the long-term with tourism being a key component. Customer consumption trends and rates are a function of, among other factors, energy efficiency, weather, the range of competitive energy sources and MIC Hawaii’s input commodity costs.
The increase in EBITDA excluding non-cash items from our MIC Hawaii businesses for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared with the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2018 primarily reflects the sale of the mechanical contractor business, partially offset by a decrease in the volume of gas sold by Hawaii Gas, in part, as a result of the warmer weather and isolated operational issues at customer locations. The increase in EBITDA excluding non-cash items for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 also reflects the impact of the Hawaii Gas utility general rate case and lower propane cost.
On December 21, 2018, the Hawaii Public Utilities Commission issued a Final Decision and Order in the rate case filed by Hawaii Gas in August 2017, authorizing an increase in regulated revenue of approximately $9 million or 8%. New rates went into effect on July 1, 2018.

MIC Hawaii comprises Hawaii Gas and several smaller businesses collectively engaged in efforts to reduce the cost and improve the reliability and sustainability of energy in Hawaii. The businesses of MIC Hawaii generate revenue primarily from the provision of gas services to commercial, residential and governmental customers and the generation of power.
Hawaii Gas generates a significant portion of its revenue from the sale of gas. Accordingly, revenue can fluctuate based on the wholesale cost of gas to Hawaii Gas and may not reflect the business’ ability to effectively manage volume and gross margin. For example, an increase in revenue may be attributable to an increase in the wholesale cost of gas passed through to Hawaii Gas’ customers and not an increase in the volume of gas sold to customers or margin per therm earned by the business. Conversely, a decline in revenue may be attributable to a decrease in the wholesale cost of gas passed through to Hawaii Gas’ customers and not a reduction in the volume of gas sold to customers or margin per therm earned by the business.
Gross margin, which we define as revenue less cost of product sales, excluding depreciation and amortization, is the effective “top line” for Hawaii Gas as it is reflective of the business’ ability to drive growth in the volume of products sold and the margins earned on those sales over time. We believe that investors use gross margin to evaluate the business as it is reflective of our performance in managing volume and price throughout the commodity cycle. Gross margin is reconciled to operating income — the most comparable GAAP measure — by subtracting selling, general and administrative expenses and depreciation and amortization in the table above.
Revenue and Gross Margin
Revenue decreased for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared with the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2018 primarily as a result of the sale of the mechanical contractor business and a decrease in the volume of gas sold by Hawaii Gas. The decrease in revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 is partially offset by the impact of the Hawaii Gas utility rate case.
Gross margin decreased $5 million and $3 million for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2019 versus the prior comparable periods, respectively, primarily as a result of changes in the value of unrealized commodity hedges. The business recorded unrealized losses of $3 million and $7 million on commodity hedges for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, compared with unrealized losses of $3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The change in the quarter and nine month periods reflect unfavorable movement in the forward curve for propane relative to hedge contracts in place and an increase in the proportion of expected propane purchases hedged.
Excluding the impact of changes in the value of commodity hedges and the sale of the mechanical contractor business, gross margin decreased for the quarter ended September 30, 2019 compared with the quarter ended September 30, 2018 primarily due to the decrease in the volume of gas sold by Hawaii Gas. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, gross margin excluding the change in the value of commodity hedges and the sale of the mechanical contractor business increased primarily due to an increase in contribution margin per therm from the utility rate case and lower propane costs at Hawaii Gas.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared with the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2018 due to the absence of costs from the mechanical contractor business. Excluding the sale of the mechanical contractor business, selling, general and administrative expenses were flat for the quarter ended September 30, 2019 and increased by approximately $1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 versus the prior comparable periods primarily as a result of the implementation of a long-term incentive compensation plan.
Goodwill Impairment
During the quarter ended September 30, 2018, we wrote-off the goodwill balance related to the mechanical contractor business.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization expense decreased for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared with the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2018 primarily as a result of the write-offs of the intangible assets and fixed assets balances at the mechanical contractor business.
Results of Operations: MIC Hawaii – (continued)
Operating Income
Operating income increased for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared with the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2018 primarily due to the decrease in depreciation and amortization expense, the decrease in selling, general and administrative expense and the absence of a goodwill impairment in the 2019 periods. The increase in operating income were partially offset by a decrease in gross margin.
Other Expense, net
Other expense, net, primarily reflects the write-down of our investment in the mechanical contractor business recorded during the quarter ended September 30, 2018.
Interest Expense, Net
Interest expense includes losses on derivative instruments of $1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared with gains on derivative instruments of $1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. Excluding the derivative adjustments, cash interest expense was $2 million and $6 million for the quarter and nine month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
Income Taxes
The taxable income generated by the MIC Hawaii businesses is reported on our consolidated federal income tax return. The businesses file standalone state income tax returns in Hawaii. The tax expense in the table above includes both the state income tax and the portion of the consolidated federal income tax liability attributable to the businesses. For the year ending December 31, 2019, the businesses expect to pay state income taxes of approximately $1 million. The Provision for current income taxes of $4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 in the above table includes $3 million of federal income tax expense and $1 million of state income tax expense.
MIC Hawaii has state NOL carryforwards that are specific to the state in which the NOL carryforwards were generated. The utilization of these NOL carryforwards may reduce or eliminate state taxable income in the future.
Maintenance Capital Expenditures
For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, MIC Hawaii incurred maintenance capital expenditures of $5 million and $6 million on an accrual basis and cash basis, respectively, compared with approximately $5 million on both an accrual basis and cash basis for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.
Results of Operations: Corporate and Other
Our Corporate and Other segment primarily comprises results from MIC Corporate, our shared services center and from our relationship with a developer of renewable power facilities (formerly reported in Contracted Power). The relationship with the developer concluded during July 2019.

(1) | Interest expense, net, included non-cash amortization of deferred financing fees and non-cash amortization of debt discount related to the 2.00% Convertible Senior Notes due October 2023. |
| |
(2) | Represents the cash interest expense related to the $403 million of MIC Corporate 2.00% Convertible Senior Notes due October 2023 reclassified to Atlantic Aviation through December 6, 2018, the date of Atlantic Aviation’s refinancing. The proceeds from this Note issuance in October 2016 were used principally to reduce the drawn balance on Atlantic Aviation’s revolving credit facility. Cash interest expense on this Note issuance is included in Corporate and Other after December 6, 2018. |
| |
(3) | For the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the change in working capital includes the current federal income tax liability of $43 million primarily related to the gain on sale of the renewable businesses reported in the results from discontinued operations. |
Results of Operations: Corporate and Other – (continued)
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared with the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2018 primarily due to, (i) lower costs incurred in connection with the evaluation of various investment and acquisition and disposition opportunities; and (ii) lower professional services fees, primarily in connection with ongoing litigation; partially offset by (iii) an increase in expenses incurred in connection with our intention to pursue strategic alternatives. The nine months ended September 30, 2019 also includes consulting expenses incurred in connection with our evaluation of opportunities to improve efficiencies.
Fees to Manager
Fees to Manager for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2019 comprise base management fees of $8 million and $23 million, respectively, compared with $12 million and $36 million for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively. Base management fees decreased for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2019 versus the prior comparable periods primarily due to the Manager’s waiver of two elements of the base management fee to which it is entitled and a reduction in the market capitalization of our Company. For the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2019, base management fees are calculated on the equity market capitalization of our Company less cash on hand at the holding company. No performance fees were incurred in either of the current or prior comparable periods.
Interest Expense, Net
Cash interest expense was $1 million and $7 million for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared with $5 million and $13 million for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2018. The decrease in cash interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2018 primarily reflects a lower debt balance.
Cash interest expense for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2018 excludes the cash interest paid on the $403 million of MIC Corporate 2.00% Convertible Senior Notes due October 2023 through the date of the refinancing of Atlantic Aviation’s debt on December 6, 2018. The proceeds from this Note issuance in October 2016 were used principally to reduce the drawn balance of Atlantic Aviation’s revolving credit facility and the related interest expense was recorded in Atlantic Aviation's results of operations. Cash interest expense on this Note issuance is included in Corporate and Other after December 6, 2018.
Other Income, Net
Other income, net, decreased for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2018 primarily as a result of a reduction in fee income from a third party developer of renewable power facilities. The relationship with the developer concluded during July 2019.
Income Taxes
The Benefit for current income taxes of $24 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 in the above table includes $23 million of federal income tax benefit and $1 million of state income tax benefit. The federal income tax benefit represents the combined federal income tax payable by IMTT, Atlantic Aviation and MIC Hawaii that is offset in consolidation with the application of MIC holding company level NOL carryforwards. At December 31, 2018, we had $152 million in federal NOL carryforwards available to offset taxable income generated by our consolidated businesses.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
General
Our primary cash requirements include normal operating expenses, debt service, debt principal payments, payments of dividends and capital expenditures. Our primary source of cash is operating activities, although we may draw on credit facilities, issue new equity or debt or sell assets to generate cash.
We may from time to time seek to purchase or retire our outstanding debt in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Such repurchases, if any, will depend on market conditions, our liquidity needs and other factors.
At September 30, 2019, our consolidated debt outstanding from continuing operations totaled $2,724 million (excluding adjustments for unamortized debt discounts), our consolidated cash balance from continuing operations totaled $473 million and consolidated available capacity under our revolving credit facilities from continuing operations totaled $1,610 million, excluding letters of credit outstanding of $13 million. On July 15, 2019, we fully repaid the outstanding balance of $350 million on our 2.875% Convertible Senior Notes due July 2019 at maturity using cash on hand.

(3) | On December 5, 2018, IMTT completed the amendment of its $550 million USD revolving credit facility and $50 million CAD revolving credit facility and extended the maturity for both facilities to December 2023. The applicable margin on the interest rate is based on either a ratings or leverage grid. |
| |
(4) | On December 6, 2018, Atlantic Aviation completed the refinancing of its prior revolving credit facility with a $350 million revolving credit facility maturing in December 2023. The applicable margin on the interest rate is based on a leverage grid. |
| |
(5) | On February 12, 2018, Hawaii Gas completed the refinancing of its existing $60 million revolving credit facility and extended its maturity to February 2023. |
| |
(6) | Excludes letters of credit outstanding of $13 million. |
We will, in general, apply available cash to the repayment of revolving credit facility balances as a means of minimizing interest expense and periodically draw on those facilities to fund growth projects and for general corporate purposes.
We use revolving credit facilities at each of our operating companies and the holding company as a means of maintaining access to sufficient liquidity to meet future requirements, manage interest expense and fund growth projects. We base our assessment of the sufficiency of our liquidity and capital resources on the assumptions that:
| |
• | our businesses overall generate, and are expected to continue to generate, significant operating cash flow; |
| |
• | the ongoing capital expenditures associated with our businesses are readily funded from their respective operating cash flow or available debt facilities; and |
| |
• | we will be able to refinance, extend and/or repay the principal amount of maturing long-term debt on terms that can be supported by our businesses. |
We capitalize our businesses in part using floating rate bank debt with medium-term maturities of between four and seven years. In general, we hedge any floating rate exposure for the majority of the term of these facilities. We also use longer dated private placement debt and other forms of capital including bond or hybrid debt instruments to capitalize our businesses. In general, the debt facilities of our businesses are non-recourse to the holding company and there are no cross-collateralization or cross-guarantee provisions in these facilities.
Analysis of Consolidated Historical Cash Flows from Continuing Operations
The following section discusses our sources and uses of cash on a consolidated basis from continuing operations. All intercompany activities such as corporate allocations, capital contributions to our businesses and distributions from our businesses have been excluded from the table as these transactions are eliminated on consolidation.
|
| | | | | | | | | | |
($ In Millions) | Nine Months Ended September 30, | Change Favorable/(Unfavorable) |
| 2019 | | 2018 | |
| $ | | $ | | $ | | % |
Cash provided by operating activities | | 416 | | 366 | | 50 |
| | 14 |
|
Cash used in investing activities | | (160) | | (104) | | (56 | ) | | (54 | ) |
Cash used in financing activities | | (617) | | (223) | | (394 | ) | | (177 | ) |
Operating Activities from Continuing Operations
Cash provided by (used in) operating activities is generally comprised of EBITDA excluding non-cash items (as defined by us), less cash interest, tax and pension payments, and changes in working capital. See “Results of Operations” for discussions of the components of EBITDA excluding non-cash items on a consolidated basis from continuing operations and for each of our businesses above.
The increase in consolidated cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was primarily due to:
| |
• | an increase in current taxes payable, primarily related to the gain on sale of the renewable business; |
| |
• | an increase in EBITDA excluding non-cash items; and |
| |
• | a net increase in deferred revenue; partially offset by |
| |
• | an unfavorable movement in accounts receivable due to timing of collections and billings on fuel sales and storage contracts; |
Liquidity and Capital Resources – (continued)
| |
• | timing of payments of insurance premiums; and |
| |
• | an increase in interest expense. |
Investing Activities from Continuing Operations
Cash provided by investing activities include proceeds from divestitures of businesses and disposal of fixed assets. Cash used in investing activities include acquisitions of businesses in new and existing segments and capital expenditures. Acquisitions of businesses are generally funded by raising additional equity and/or drawing on credit facilities.
In general, maintenance capital expenditures are funded from cash provided by operating activities and growth capital expenditures are funded by drawing on our available credit facilities or with equity capital. See “Results of Operations” for maintenance capital expenditures for each of our businesses.
The increase in consolidated cash used in investing activities from continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2018 resulted from an increase in capital expenditures in 2019 and the absence of cash proceeds received from the sale of non-core businesses in 2018. These increases to cash used in investing activities were partially offset by cash proceeds received from the repayment of a loan from a third party renewable developer during 2019 and cash used in an acquisition during the quarter ended March 31, 2018 that did not recur in 2019.
Capital Deployment (includes both continuing and discontinued operations)
Capital deployment includes growth capital expenditures and “bolt-on” acquisitions, the majority of which are expected to generate incremental earnings. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, growth capital deployed totaled $143 million and $139 million, respectively. Capital deployed in continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $129 million.
We continuously evaluate opportunities to prudently deploy capital in acquisitions and growth projects, whether in our existing businesses or new lines of business. We are undertaking and expect to undertake a number of capital projects related to the repurposing and repositioning of certain assets at IMTT and the enhancement of the capabilities of the businesses in our other segments. We estimate that the majority of our 2019 growth capital expenditures will be made in support of IMTT. In total, we expect to deploy $200 million to $220 million of growth capital during 2019.
Financing Activities from Continuing Operations
Cash provided by financing activities primarily includes new equity issuance and debt issuance related to acquisitions and capital expenditures. Cash used in financing activities primarily includes dividends to our shareholders and the repayment of debt principal balances on maturing debt.
The increase in consolidated cash used in financing activities from continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2018 resulted from higher debt repayment in 2019 and higher debt borrowings during 2018 primarily to fund an acquisition, growth capital expenditures and general corporate purposes. These increases to cash used in financing activities were partially offset by the decrease in dividends paid to shareholders in 2019.
IMTT
At September 30, 2019, IMTT had $1,109 million of debt outstanding consisting of $600 million of senior notes and $509 million of tax-exempt bonds. IMTT also has $600 million in revolving credit facilities which were undrawn at September 30, 2019. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, cash interest expense was $29 million and approximately $35 million, respectively. At September 30, 2019, IMTT was in compliance with its financial covenants.
Atlantic Aviation
At September 30, 2019, Atlantic Aviation had $1,017 million outstanding on its senior secured, first lien term loan facility. Atlantic Aviation also has a $350 million revolving credit facility that was undrawn at September 30, 2019.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, cash interest expense was $44 million and approximately $20 million, respectively. Cash interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 includes the cash interest expense related to the $403 million of MIC Corporate 2.00% Convertible Senior Notes due October 2023 that was reclassified to Atlantic Aviation through December 6, 2018, the date of Atlantic Aviation’s refinancing. The proceeds from this Note issuance in October 2016 were used principally to reduce the drawn balance of Atlantic Aviation’s revolving credit facility. Cash interest expense on the Note issuance is recorded in Corporate and Other after December 6, 2018. At September 30, 2019, Atlantic Aviation was in compliance with its financial covenants.
Liquidity and Capital Resources – (continued)
MIC Hawaii
At September 30, 2019, MIC Hawaii had total debt outstanding of $195 million consisting of $100 million in senior secured note borrowings and $95 million in term loan debt. MIC Hawaii also has a $60 million revolving credit facility that was undrawn at September 30, 2019. Cash interest expense was $6 million for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018. At September 30, 2019, MIC Hawaii was in compliance with its financial covenants.
MIC Corporate
At September 30, 2019, MIC had $403 million of Convertible Senior Notes outstanding, that bear interest at 2.00%. On July 15, 2019, we fully repaid the outstanding balance of $350 million on our 2.875% Convertible Senior Notes due July 2019 at maturity using cash on hand. MIC Corporate also has a $600 million revolving credit facility that was undrawn at September 30, 2019.
Cash interest expense at MIC Corporate totaled $7 million and $13 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Cash interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 excludes the cash interest paid on the $403 million of MIC Corporate 2.00% Convertible Senior Notes due October 2023 through the date of the refinancing of Atlantic Aviation’s debt on December 6, 2018. The proceeds from this Note issuance in October 2016 were used principally to reduce the drawn balance of Atlantic Aviation’s revolving credit facility and the related interest expense was recorded in Atlantic Aviation's results of operations. Cash interest expense on this Note issuance is included in Corporate and Other after December 6, 2018.
At September 30, 2019, MIC Corporate was in compliance with its financial covenants.
For a description of the material terms and debt covenants of MIC and its businesses, see Note 9, “Long-Term Debt”, in Part II, Item 8, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018.
Commitments and Contingencies
Except as noted above, at September 30, 2019, there were no material changes in our commitments and contingencies compared with those at December 31, 2018. At September 30, 2019, we did not have any material purchase obligations. For a discussion of our other future obligations, due by period, under the various contractual obligations, off-balance sheet arrangements and commitments, please see “Liquidity and Capital Resources — Commitments and Contingencies” in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, filed with the SEC on February 20, 2019.
At September 30, 2019, we did not have any material reserves for contingencies. We have other contingencies occurring in the normal course of business, including pending legal and administrative proceedings that are not reflected at this time as they are not ascertainable.
Our sources of cash to meet these obligations include:
| |
• | cash generated from our operations (see “Operating Activities” in “Liquidity and Capital Resources”); |
| |
• | issuance of shares or debt securities (see “Financing Activities” in “Liquidity and Capital Resources”); |
| |
• | refinancing of our current credit facilities at or before maturity (see “Financing Activities” in “Liquidity and Capital Resources”); |
| |
• | undrawn balances on credit facilities (see “Financing Activities” in “Liquidity and Capital Resources”); and |
| |
• | if advantageous, sale of all or part of any of our businesses (see “Investing Activities” in “Liquidity and Capital Resources”). |
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
For critical accounting policies and estimates, see “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” in Part II, Item 7 and Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in Part II, Item 8 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018 and see Note 2, “Basis of Presentation”, and Note 4, “Implementation of ASU 2016-02”, in our Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in Part I of this Form 10-Q for recently issued accounting standards. Our critical accounting policies and estimates have not changed materially from the description contained in our Annual Report.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
For quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk, see Part II, Item 7A “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018. Our exposure to market risk has not changed materially since February 20, 2019, the filing date for our Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Interim Goodwill Review
We test for goodwill impairment at the reporting unit level on an annual basis on October 1st of each year and between annual tests if a triggering event indicates the possibility of an impairment. We monitor changing business conditions as well as industry and economic factors, among others, for events which could trigger the need for an interim impairment analysis. We have experienced a sustained decline in its market capitalization over the 18-months ended September 30, 2019. The decline reflects, in part, the sales of smaller and non-core businesses during that period. However, we concluded that the decline in our market capitalization also reflected a reduced contribution from our IMTT segment as a result of lower bulk liquid storage utilization levels and lease rates and determined that these constituted a triggering event.
We performed an interim impairment analysis based on financial results through September 30, 2019. For IMTT, we used both the market and income approaches and weighting them based on their applicability to the segment. The income approach used forecasted cash flows developed as part of our annual update of our 5-year business plan. For Atlantic Aviation and Hawaii Gas, we used only the market approach given that the fair value of these businesses substantially exceeded the book value noted in 2018. The analysis concluded that fair value of each of our reporting units exceeded their carrying value and no impairment was recorded.
At September 30, 2019, the fair value of our reporting units exceeded their aggregate book value by $2.2 billion, or 33%. Approximately $1.9 billion of the excess was attributed to Atlantic Aviation, approximately $280 million to Hawaii Gas and approximately $20 million to IMTT.
Unfavorable fluctuations in the discount rate or declines in forecasted storage revenues and margins could result in an impairment of IMTT in the future. For example, a 0.25% increase to the discount rate would decrease the value of IMTT by approximately $70 million. Any increase in the discount rate, in conjunction with any decrease in the projected cash flows for IMTT, would negatively affect the current valuations. Due to the inherent uncertainties in the estimates and assumptions used in the fair value analysis, our actual results may differ. These differences could alter the fair value of the reporting units and may result in impairment charges in future periods. We will continue to evaluate the fair value of goodwill through the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2019 for any potential impairment.
Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the direction and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. The purpose of disclosure controls is to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed with or submitted to the SEC under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls are also designed to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on this evaluation, due to a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting at Atlantic Aviation described in Part II, Item 9A of our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, because such material weakness has not yet been remediated, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2019.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Effective January 1, 2019, we adopted ASC Topic 842, Leases. The adoption of this accounting standard required the implementation of new internal controls over reporting of operating leases. For example, we implemented new controls related to the adoption process and a new IT system to capture, calculate, and account for leases, and gather the necessary data to properly account for leases under ASC 842. There were no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) that occurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting, other than as described below under the caption “Remediation.”
Remediation
As previously described in Part II, Item 9A of our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, we began implementing remediation measures to address the control deficiencies that led to the material weakness mentioned above. The remediation measures at Atlantic Aviation include the following:
| |
(i) | reinforcing the importance of the performance of the fuel gallon and pricing management review procedures and controls; |
| |
(ii) | developing and maintaining documentation to be utilized by FBO personnel in performing revenue procedures and controls; |
| |
(iii) | training control owners on revenue procedures and controls; |
| |
(iv) | re-enforcing accountability for compliance with internal control policies and procedure; and |
| |
(v) | enhancing the existing centralized revenue control review and monitoring function. |
We are in the process of implementing and testing these enhanced internal controls and related procedures. We believe that these actions will be sufficient to remediate the material weakness and strengthen our internal control over financial reporting. The material weakness will not be considered remediated, however, until the applicable controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively. We expect that the remediation of this material weakness will be completed on or prior to December 31, 2019.

(the Manager) pursuant to the terms of a Management Services Agreement, subject to the oversight and supervision of the Board. The majority of the members of the Board, and the members of all Board committees, are independent and have no affiliation with Macquarie. The Manager is a member of the Macquarie Group of companies comprising Macquarie Group Limited and its subsidiaries and affiliates worldwide. Macquarie Group Limited is headquartered in Australia and is listed on the Australian Securities Exchange.
The Company owns its businesses through its direct wholly-owned subsidiary MIC Ohana Corporation, the successor to Macquarie Infrastructure Company Inc. The Company owns and operates a portfolio of infrastructure and infrastructure-like businesses that provide services to corporations, government agencies and individual customers primarily in the United States (U.S.). The businesses are organized into 4 segments:
| |
• | International-Matex Tank Terminals (IMTT): a business providing bulk liquid terminalling to third parties at 17 terminals in the U.S. and 2 in Canada; |
| |
• | Atlantic Aviation: a provider of fuel, terminal, aircraft hangaring and other services primarily to owners and operators of general aviation (GA) jet aircraft at 70 airports throughout the U.S.; |
| |
• | MIC Hawaii: comprising an energy company that processes and distributes gas and provides related services (Hawaii Gas) and several smaller businesses collectively engaged in efforts to reduce the cost and improve the reliability and sustainability of energy in Hawaii; and |
| |
• | Corporate and Other: comprising MIC Corporate (holding company) and a shared services center. |
Effective October 1, 2018, the Bayonne Energy Center (BEC) and substantially all of the Company’s portfolio of solar and wind power generation businesses were classified as discontinued operations and the Company’s Contracted Power segment was eliminated. All prior comparable periods have been restated to reflect this change. In July 2019, the Company completed the sales of its wind power generating portfolio and all but one of the assets in its solar power generating portfolio. The sale of the remaining solar facility closed during September 2019. On January 1, 2019, the Company also classified its majority interest in a renewable power development business as a discontinued operation, the sale of which closed in July 2019. The Company did not restate the prior period as the disposition was deemed insignificant. A remaining relationship with a third-party developer of renewable power facilities has been reported as a component of Corporate and Other through the expiration of the relationship in July 2019. For additional information, see Note 3, “Discontinued Operations and Dispositions”.
2. Basis of Presentation
The unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the U.S. and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X for interim financial information. Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
The consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2018 has been derived from audited financial statements but does not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Certain reclassifications were made to the financial statements for the prior period to conform to current period presentation.
The interim financial information contained herein should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2018 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the SEC on February 20, 2019. Operating results for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2019 or for any future interim periods.

2. Basis of Presentation – (continued)
Use of Estimates
The preparation of unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures related thereto at the date of the unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Management evaluates these estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis.
Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the unaudited interim consolidated condensed financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from estimates.
Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and variable-rate senior debt, are carried at cost, which approximates their fair value because of either the short-term maturity or competitive interest rates assigned to these financial instruments. The fair values of the Company’s other debt instruments fall within level 1 or level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
At September 30, 2019, the Company had $78 million of commercial paper included in cash and cash equivalents. Commercial paper consists of maturities of three months or less and are issued by counterparties with a Standard & Poor rating of A1+. The Company did 0t have any commercial paper at December 31, 2018.
Income Taxes
The Company expects to incur federal consolidated taxable income from continuing operations for the year ending December 31, 2019, which will be fully offset by the Company’s net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards and investment tax credit (ITC) carryforwards. The Company believes that it will be able to utilize all of its federal prior year NOL carryforwards and ITC carryforwards in the current year.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-14, Compensation — Retirement Benefits — Defined Benefit Plans — General (Subtopic 715-20): Disclosure Framework — Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans. The amendments in ASU 2018-14 update disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. The Company will include appropriate disclosures related to defined benefit plans in accordance with the standard when it adopts the provisions of this ASU.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework — Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. The amendments in ASU 2018-13 update the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements, including the consideration of costs and benefits. The disclosure modifications focused on Level 3 fair value measurements, and also eliminate the minimum disclosure requirements. The amendments in this update are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The amendments on changes in unrealized gains and losses, the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements, and the narrative description of measurement uncertainty should be applied prospectively for only the most recent interim or annual period presented in the initial fiscal year of adoption. All other amendments should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented upon their effective date. Early adoption is permitted upon issuance of this Update. An entity is permitted to early adopt any removed or modified disclosures upon issuance of this Update and delay adoption of the additional disclosures until their effective date. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this ASU.

3. Discontinued Operations and Dispositions
The Company accounts for disposals that represent a strategic shift that should have or will have a major effect on operations as discontinued operations. The results of discontinued operations are reported in discontinued operations in the consolidated condensed statement of operations for current and prior periods commencing in the period in which the business or group of businesses meets the criteria of a discontinued operation. These results include any gain or loss recognized on disposal or adjustment of the carrying amount to fair value less cost to sell.
Bayonne Energy Center (BEC) Sale
On October 12, 2018, the Company concluded the sale of BEC and received cash of $657 million, net of the assumption of the outstanding debt balance of $244 million by the buyer and subject to post-closing working capital adjustments, resulting in a loss of approximately $17 million (excluding any transaction costs). During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company incurred $9 million in professional fees in relation to this transaction, which was included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statement of operations. The Company guaranteed its subsidiary’s payment and certain post-closing indemnity obligations under the purchase agreement.
Renewable Businesses Sale
During the fourth quarter of 2018, the Company commenced a sale process involving its portfolios of 142 megawatts (MW) (gross) of solar generation assets and 203 MW (gross) of wind generation assets. In July 2019, the Company completed the sales of its wind power generating portfolio and all but one of the assets in its solar power generating portfolio. The sale of the remaining solar facility closed during September 2019. Upon closing of the transactions involving the portfolios of operating solar and wind assets, MIC deconsolidated $295 million of long-term debt. In July 2019, the Company also completed the sale of its majority interest in a renewable power development business. The Company may be entitled to a deferred purchase price from the sale of its interest in the renewable power development business based on the sale of certain projects by the purchaser in the future.
The aggregate gross proceeds to the Company from the above sales are approximately $275 million, or approximately $210 million net of taxes and transaction related expenses. Upon closing of the transactions, the Company recorded a pre-tax gain of approximately $80 million excluding any transaction costs. The Company incurred approximately $10 million in professional fees in relation to these transactions, which is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated condensed statement of operations. For the year ending December 31, 2019, the Company expects to record approximately $55 million in current taxes payable, of which $9 million was paid during September 2019, primarily related to the gain on sale.
The combination of the disposal of BEC and the commencement of the sale process of substantially all of its portfolio of solar and wind facilities represented a strategic shift for the Company that will have a major effect on operations. Accordingly, beginning in the fourth quarter of 2018, these businesses were classified as discontinued operations and the Contracted Power segment was eliminated. There was no write-down of the carrying amount of the solar and wind facility assets as a result of this change in classification. The assets and liabilities of the solar and wind facilities have been classified as held for sale in the consolidated condensed balance sheets up until the date those assets are disposed. All prior periods have been restated to reflect these changes.
During the first quarter of 2019, the Company also commenced the sale of its majority interest in its renewable power development business that was reported as part of the Company’s Corporate and Other segment in the fourth quarter of 2018. Accordingly, beginning in the first quarter of 2019, the results of this business were classified as discontinued operations and the assets and liabilities of this business have been classified as held for sale in the consolidated condensed balance sheets through the date of sale. The Company did not restate the prior period related to the commencement of the sale process involving its majority interest in a renewable power development business as the disposition is insignificant. A remaining relationship with a third-party developer of renewable power facilities has been reported as a component of Corporate and Other through the expiration of the relationship in July 2019.

3. Discontinued Operations and Dispositions – (continued)
Other Dispositions
The Company reviews strategic options available, including with respect to certain other, smaller businesses in its portfolio in an effort to rationalize its portfolio and enhance the infrastructure characteristics of its businesses. Consistent with this, the Company sold (i) an environmental services business by IMTT in April 2018; (ii) its equity interests in projects involving 2 properties in May 2018; and (iii) the mechanical contractor business within MIC Hawaii in November 2018. Collectively, the sale of these business is insignificant and do not qualify for discontinued operations.
Prior to the execution of the sale agreement for the mechanical contractor business, the Company wrote-down the value of its investment in this business to reflect its underperformance during the third quarter of 2018. In total, the Company wrote-down approximately $30 million, including fixed assets and intangible assets of approximately $9 million, as well as reserving for certain contract related amounts recorded in other current liabilities and other expenses.
4. Implementation of ASU 2016-2
On February 25, 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-2, Leases (Topic 842), which requires a lessee to recognize assets and liabilities for leases with lease terms of more than 12 months. The recognition, measurement and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee primarily will depend on its classification as a finance or operating lease. However, unlike current GAAP, which requires only capital leases to be recognized on the balance sheet, ASU 2016-2 requires all leases with an initial term greater than one year to be recognized on the balance sheet as a right-of-use (ROU) asset and a lease liability. The Company also serves as a lessor primarily through operating leases. The accounting for lessors has not fundamentally changed except for changes to conform and align existing guidance to the lessee guidance under ASU 2016-2, as well as to the revenue recognition guidance in ASC 606, Revenue.
The substantial population of the Company’s newly recognized ROU assets and lease liabilities relate to Atlantic Aviation’s operating leases of land, buildings and certain equipment. ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and the lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the estimated present value of lease payments over the lease term. The considerations given for the incremental borrowing rate used in determining the present value of lease payments were the Company’s recent debt refinancing and amendment during 2018 and the Company’s credit rating.
Upon adoption of ASU No. 2016-2, the Company recorded ROU assets and corresponding lease liabilities of $351 million and $358 million, respectively, of which $19 million and $21 million related to asset and liabilities held for sale, respectively. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on its consolidated condensed statements of operations, liquidity or debt covenant compliance under its current agreements.
The Company adopted the standard effective January 1, 2019 utilizing the modified retrospective method, which allowed the Company, where it was the lessee or lessor to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the period of adoption without modifying the comparative period financial statements. The Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which among other things, allowed the Company to carryforward the historical lease classification. The Company also made an accounting policy election to keep leases with an initial term of 12 months or less off the balance sheet. Further, the standard did not have a material impact on the accounting and reporting requirements for existing operating leases where the Company is the lessor as it has elected the practical expedient whereby the Company will not separate a qualifying contract into its lease and non-lease components. The Company also determined that the accounting for sales taxes, certain lessor costs and certain requirements related to variable payments in contracts did not have a material effect on the consolidated condensed balance sheet, statement of operations or statement of cash flows.

5. Leases
The Company has operating leases primarily for land, buildings, office space and certain office equipment under non-cancellable lease agreements. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the consolidated condensed balance sheet. Some leases include 1 or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term from one to 10 years or more. The exercise of these lease renewal options is at the Company’s sole discretion. Cash paid for operating leases is reported in operating activities on the consolidated condensed statement of cash flows.
For the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company’s operating lease expenses recorded within the consolidated condensed statement of operations were as follows ($ in millions):

|
_______
(1) Accumulated impairment charges primarily relate to goodwill impairment charges at Atlantic Aviation recorded during the
year ended December 31, 2009 and 2008.
The Company tests for goodwill impairment at the reporting unit level on an annual basis on October 1st of each year and between annual tests if a triggering event indicates the possibility of an impairment. The Company monitors changing business conditions as well as industry and economic factors, among others, for events which could trigger the need for an interim impairment analysis. The Company has experienced a sustained decline in its market capitalization over the 18-months ended September 30, 2019. The decline reflects, in part, the sales of smaller and non-core businesses during that period. However, the Company concluded that the decline in its market capitalization also reflected a reduced contribution from its IMTT segment as a result of lower bulk liquid storage utilization levels and lease rates and determined that these constituted a triggering event.
The Company performed an interim impairment analysis based on financial results through September 30, 2019. For IMTT, the Company used both the market and income approaches and weighting them based on their applicability to the segment. The income approach used forecasted cash flows developed as part of the Company’s annual update of its 5-year business plan. For

8. Intangible Assets and Goodwill – (continued)
Atlantic Aviation and Hawaii Gas, the Company used only the market approach given that the fair value of these businesses substantially exceeded the book value noted in 2018. The analysis concluded that fair value of each of the Company’s reporting units exceeded their carrying value and no impairment was recorded.
At September 30, 2019, the fair value of the Company’s reporting units exceeded their aggregate book value by $2.2 billion, or 33%. Approximately $1.9 billion of the excess was attributed to Atlantic Aviation, approximately $280 million to Hawaii Gas and approximately $20 million to IMTT.
Unfavorable fluctuations in the discount rate or declines in forecasted storage revenues and margins could result in an impairment of IMTT in the future. For example, a 0.25% increase to the discount rate would decrease the value of IMTT by approximately $70 million. Any increase in the discount rate, in conjunction with any decrease in the projected cash flows for IMTT, would negatively affect the current valuations. Due to the inherent uncertainties in the estimates and assumptions used in the fair value analysis, the Company’s actual results may differ. These differences could alter the fair value of the Company’s reporting units and may result in impairment charges in future periods. The Company will continue to evaluate the fair value of goodwill through the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2019 for any potential impairment.

In connection with the Amendment, supplemental indentures were entered into with respect to the $509 million of outstanding Tax Exempt Bonds. The Tax Exempt Bonds were reissued and sold to certain lenders under the IMTT Credit Agreement pursuant to the bond purchase facility. The supplemental indentures provide for (i) an interest rate on the Tax Exempt Bonds of 80% of one month LIBOR plus applicable margin plus 0.45% and (ii) an extension of the date on which holders have the right to require repurchase of the Tax Exempt Bonds from May 21, 2022 to December 5, 2025.

10. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
Interest Rate Contracts
The Company and certain of its businesses have in place variable-rate debt. Management believes that it is prudent to limit the variability of a portion of the business’ interest payments. To meet this objective, the Company enters into interest rate agreements, primarily using interest rate swaps and from time to time using interest rate caps, to manage fluctuations in cash flows resulting from interest rate risk on a portion of its debt with a variable-rate component. Interest rate swaps change the variable-rate cash flow exposure on the debt obligations to fixed cash flows. Under the terms of the interest rate swaps, the Company receives variable interest rate payments and makes fixed interest rate payments, thereby creating the equivalent of fixed-rate debt for the portion of the debt that is swapped.
At September 30, 2019, the Company had $2,724 million of current and long-term debt, of which $946 million was economically hedged with interest rate contracts, $1,102 million was fixed rate debt and $676 million was unhedged. The Company does not use hedge accounting. All movements in the fair value of the interest rate derivatives are recorded directly through earnings.

10. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities – (continued)
Commodity Price Hedges
The risks associated with fluctuations in the prices that Hawaii Gas, a business within the MIC Hawaii reportable segment, pays for liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) is principally a result of market forces reflecting changes in supply and demand for LPG and other energy commodities. Hawaii Gas’ gross margin (revenue less cost of product sales excluding depreciation and amortization) is sensitive to changes in propane supply costs and Hawaii Gas may not always be able to pass through product cost increases fully or on a timely basis, particularly when product costs rise rapidly. In order to reduce the volatility of the business’ LPG market price risk, Hawaii Gas has used and expects to continue to use over-the-counter commodity derivative instruments including price swaps. Hawaii Gas does not use commodity derivative instruments for speculative or trading purposes. Over-the-counter derivative commodity instruments used by Hawaii Gas to hedge forecasted purchases of LPG are generally settled at expiration of the contract.
Financial Statement Location Disclosure for Derivative Instruments
The Company measures derivative instruments at fair value using the income approach which discounts the future net cash settlements expected under the derivative contracts to a present value. These valuations use primarily observable (level 2) inputs, including contractual terms, interest rates and yield curves observable at commonly quoted intervals.
The Company’s fair value measurements of its derivative instruments and the related location of the assets and liabilities within the consolidated condensed balance sheets at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 were ($ in millions):

Macquarie Infrastructure Corporation Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTIP) for MIC Operating Businesses — Performance Stock Units (PSUs)
During the first quarter of 2019, the Company established the LTIP pursuant to which it may make stock-based incentive awards to eligible employees of its operating businesses. The awards would take the form of PSUs convertible into common stock of the Company as authorized under its 2016 Omnibus Employee Incentive Plan. The number of PSUs a participant may be awarded reflects a target level of performance by the participant. The participant may be awarded more (over performance limit) or less (threshold limit) than the target number of PSUs based on their achievements relative to Key Performance Indicators during the three-year performance period. Following finalization of the participant’s performance review at the end of the third year of the program, the Company may award the PSUs.
The following represents unvested LTIP grants through September 30, 2019 at the target level of performance:

12. Reportable Segments
At September 30, 2019, the Company’s businesses consisted of 4 reportable segments: IMTT, Atlantic Aviation, MIC Hawaii and Corporate and Other.
Effective October 1, 2018, BEC and substantially all of the Company’s portfolio of solar and wind power generation businesses were classified as discontinued operations and the Company’s Contracted Power segment was eliminated. All prior comparable periods have been restated to reflect this change. In July 2019, the Company completed the sales of its wind power generating portfolio and all but one of the assets in its solar power generating portfolio. The sale of the remaining solar facility closed during September 2019. On January 1, 2019, the Company also classified its majority interest in a renewable power development business as a discontinued operation, the sale of which closed in July 2019. The Company did not restate the prior period as the disposition was deemed insignificant. A remaining relationship with a third-party developer of renewable power facilities has been reported as a component of Corporate and Other through the expiration of the relationship in July 2019. For additional information, see Note 3, “Discontinued Operations and Dispositions”.
IMTT
IMTT provides bulk liquid storage, handling and other services in North America through 17 terminals located in the U.S., 1 terminal in Quebec, Canada and 1 partially owned terminal in Newfoundland, Canada. IMTT derives the majority of its revenue from storage and handling of petroleum products, various chemicals, renewable fuels, and vegetable and tropical oils. Based on storage capacity, IMTT operates one of the largest third-party bulk liquid terminals businesses in the U.S.
Revenue from IMTT is generated from the following sources and recorded in service revenue.
Lease. These are contracts with predominantly non-cancelable terms for access to and the use of storage capacity at the various terminals owned and operated by the business. At September 30, 2019, these contracts had a revenue weighted average remaining contract life of 1.9 years. These contracts generally require payments in exchange for the provision of storage capacity and product movement (throughput) throughout their term based on a fixed rate per barrel of capacity leased. A majority of the contracts include terms that adjust the fixed rate annually for inflation. These contracts are accounted for as operating leases and the related lease income is recognized in service revenue over the term of the contract based upon the rate specified. Revenue is recognized in accordance with ASC 842, Leases.
Terminal services. Revenue from the provision of ancillary services includes activities such as heating, mixing and blending, and is recognized as the related services are performed (point in time) based on contract rates. Other terminal services also include payments received prior to the related services being performed or as a reimbursement for specific fixed asset additions or improvements related to a customer’s contract and are recorded as deferred revenue and ratably recognized as revenues over the contract term.

12. Reportable Segments – (continued)
Other. Other revenue is comprised primarily of environmental response service activities through the date of sale in April 2018 and railroad operations. These revenues are generally recognized at a point in time as services are performed.
Atlantic Aviation
Atlantic Aviation derives the majority of its revenue from fuel delivery services and from other airport services, including de-icing and aircraft hangar rental. All of the revenue of Atlantic Aviation is generated at airports in the U.S. The business currently operates at 70 airports.
Revenue from Atlantic Aviation is recorded in service revenue. Services provided by Atlantic Aviation include:
Fuel. Revenue from fuel sales are recognized at a point in time as services are performed. Fuel services are recorded net of volume discounts and rebates.
Hangar. Hangar rentals includes both month-to-month rentals and rentals from longer term contracts. Hangar rental revenue excludes transient customer overnight hangar usage (see Other FBO services below).
Other FBO services. Other fixed based operation (FBO) services consist principally of de-icing services, landing, concession, transient overnight hangar usage, terminal use and fuel distribution fees that are recognized as sales of services. Revenue from these transactions is recorded based on the service fee earned.
MIC Hawaii
MIC Hawaii primarily comprises of (i) Hawaii Gas, Hawaii’s only government-franchised gas utility and an unregulated liquefied petroleum gas distribution business providing gas and related services to commercial, residential and governmental customers; and (ii) controlling interests in 2 solar facilities on Oahu.
Revenue from the Hawaii Gas business is generated from the distribution and sales of synthetic natural gas (SNG), liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), liquefied natural gas (LNG) and renewable natural gas (RNG). Revenue is primarily a function of the volume of SNG, LPG, LNG and RNG consumed by customers and the price per British Thermal Unit or gallon charged to customers. Revenue levels, without organic growth, will generally track global commodity prices, namely petroleum and natural gas, as its products are derived from these commodities.
Revenue from Hawaii Gas is recorded in product revenue. Hawaii Gas recognizes revenue when products are delivered. Sales of gas to customers are billed on a monthly-cycle basis. Earned but unbilled revenue is accrued and included in accounts receivable and revenue. This is based on the amount of gas that has been delivered but not billed to customers from the latest meter reading or billed delivery date to the end of an accounting period. The related costs are charged to expense.
The renewables projects within MIC Hawaii sell substantially all of the electricity generated at a fixed price to primarily electric utility customers pursuant to long-term power purchase agreements (PPAs) of 20 years. Substantially all of the PPAs are accounted for as operating leases and have no minimum lease payments and all of the lease income under these leases is recorded within product revenue when the electricity is delivered.
Corporate and Other
Corporate and Other comprises of MIC Corporate (holding company) and a shared services center.
All of the MIC business segments are managed separately and management has chosen to organize the Company around the distinct products and services offered. Selected information by segment is presented in the following tables.

In accordance with FASB ASC 280, Segment Reporting, the Company has disclosed earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) excluding non-cash items as a key performance indicator for the businesses. EBITDA excluding non-cash items is reflective of the businesses’ ability to effectively manage the volume of products sold or services provided, the operating margin earned on those transactions and the management of operating expenses independent of the capitalization and tax attributes of its businesses. The Company defines EBITDA excluding non-cash items as net income (loss) or earnings — the most comparable GAAP measure — before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and non-cash items including impairments, unrealized derivative gains and losses, adjustments for other non-cash items and pension expense reflected in the statements of operations.
EBITDA excluding non-cash items for the Company’s consolidated reportable segments from continuing operations is shown in the tables below ($ in millions). Allocations of corporate expenses, intercompany fees and the tax effect have been excluded as they are eliminated in consolidation.

13. Long-Term Contracted Revenue
Long-term contracted revenue consists of revenue from future minimum lease revenue accounted in accordance with ASC 842, Leases, and estimated revenue to be recognized in the future related to performance conditions that are unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied accounted in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue. The recognition pattern for contracts that are considered leases is generally consistent with the recognition pattern that would apply if such contracts were not accounted for as leases and were instead accounted for under ASC Topic 606. Accordingly, the Company has combined the required lessor disclosures for future lease income with the disclosures for contracted revenue in the table below. The following long-term contracted revenue were in existence at September 30, 2019 ($ in millions):

(1) | The amount of dividend payable to the Manager for the third quarter of 2019 will be determined on November 11, 2019, the record date. |
Under the Management Services Agreement, subject to the oversight and supervision of the Company’s Board, the Manager is responsible for and oversees the management of the Company’s operating businesses. In addition, the Manager has the right to appoint the Chairman of the Board, subject to minimum equity ownership, and to assign, or second, to the Company, two of its employees to serve as chief executive officer and chief financial officer of the Company and seconds or makes other personnel available as required.
In accordance with the Management Services Agreement, the Manager is entitled to a monthly base management fee based primarily on the Company’s market capitalization, and potentially a quarterly performance fee based on total shareholder returns relative to a U.S. utilities index. Currently, the Manager has elected to reinvest the future base management fees and performance fees, if any, in additional shares. For the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company incurred base management fees of $8 million and $23 million, respectively, compared with $12 million and $36 million for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively. The Company did not incur any performance fees for the quarter and nine month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018.
Effective November 1, 2018, the Manager waived two elements of the base management fee to which it was entitled under the terms of the Management Services Agreement. In effect, the waivers cap the base management fee at 1% of the Company’s equity market capitalization less any cash balances at the holding company. The waiver applies only to the calculation of the base management fees and not to the remainder of the Management Services Agreement. The Manager reserves the right to revoke the waivers and revert to the prior terms of the Management Services Agreement, subject to providing the Company with not less than a one year notice. A revocation of the waiver would not trigger a recapture of previously waived fees. As part of the disposition agreement entered into between the Company and its Manager, the Manager has agreed not to revoke the waiver during the term of the disposition agreement. See Note 16, “Subsequent Events” for further discussions on disposition agreement.
The unpaid portion of the base management fees and performance fees, if any, at the end of each reporting period is included in Due to Manager-related party in the consolidated condensed balance sheets.

(1) | The Manager elected to reinvest all of the monthly base management fees for the third quarter of 2019 in new primary shares. The Company issued 201,827 shares for the quarter ended September 30, 2019, including 67,659 shares that were issued in October 2019 for the September 2019 monthly base management fee. |

15. Legal Proceedings and Contingencies
The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business.

Shareholder Litigation
On April 23, 2018, a complaint captioned City of Riviera Beach General Employees Retirement System v. Macquarie Infrastructure Corp., et al., Case 1:18-cv-03608 (VSB), was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. A substantially identical complaint captioned Daniel Fajardo v. Macquarie Infrastructure Corporation, et al., Case No. 1:18-cv-03744 (VSB) was filed in the same court on April 27, 2018. Both complaints asserted claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder on behalf of a putative class consisting of all purchasers of MIC common stock between February 22, 2016 and February 21, 2018. The named defendants in both cases were the Company and four current or former officers of MIC and one of its subsidiaries, IMTT Holdings LLC. The complaints in both actions allege that the Company and the individual defendants knowingly made material misstatements and omitted material facts in its public disclosures concerning the Company’s and IMTT’s business and the sustainability of the Company’s dividend to stockholders. On January 30, 2019, the Court issued an opinion and order consolidating the two cases, appointing Moab Partners, L.P. (Moab) as Lead Plaintiff and approving Moab’s selection of lead counsel. On February 20, 2019, Moab filed a consolidated class action complaint. In addition to the claims noted above, the consolidated class action complaint also asserts claims under Sections 11, 12(a)(2) and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933 relating to the Company’s November 2016 secondary public offering of common stock. The consolidated amended complaint also adds Macquarie Infrastructure Management (USA) Inc., Barclays Capital Inc. and seven additional current or former officers or directors of MIC as defendants. On April 22, 2019, the Company and the other defendants filed motions to dismiss the consolidated class action complaint in its entirety, with prejudice. Briefing concluded on July 22, 2019. The Company intends to continue to vigorously contest the claims asserted, which the Company believes are entirely meritless.
On August 9, 2018, a shareholder derivative complaint captioned Phyllis Wright v. Liam Stewart, et al., Case No. 1:18-cv-07174 (VSB), was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. A substantially identical complaint captioned Raymond Greenlee v. James Hooke, et al., Case No. 1:18-cv-09339 (VSB) was filed in the same court on October 12, 2018. A third and substantially similar shareholder derivative complaint captioned Kim Johnson v. Liam Stewart, et al., Case No. 1:18-cv-011062 (VSB) was filed in the same court on November 27, 2018. Each of the shareholder derivative complaints assert derivative claims on behalf of the Company against certain of its current and former officers and directors arising out of the same subject matter at issue in the City of Riviera Beach and Fajardo complaints discussed above. The causes of action asserted include violation of Section 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, breach of fiduciary duties, waste of corporate assets, unjust enrichment, and aiding and abetting breach of fiduciary duty. A motion to consolidate the three actions is currently pending. Proceedings in the Wright, Greenlee and Johnson cases are otherwise stayed pending resolution of the motions to dismiss the securities class actions described above. The Company expects that the named defendants will vigorously contest the claims asserted in the Wright, Greenlee and Johnson complaints.

16. Subsequent Events
Pursuit of Strategic Alternatives
In October 2019, the Board resolved to actively pursue strategic alternatives including a sale of the Company or its operating businesses as a means of unlocking value for shareholders. There is no set timetable for completing any transaction and there can be no assurance that any transactions will occur on favorable terms or at all. See the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K date October 31, 2019 for additional information.
Disposition Agreement
To facilitate the Company’s pursuit of strategic alternatives, the Company announced that it has entered into a disposition agreement with Macquarie Infrastructure Management (USA) Inc. (MIMUSA), the external manager of the Company on October 30, 2019. Other than pursuant to this agreement, the Company does not have the ability to terminate the Management Services Agreement other than in limited circumstances. Pursuant to this agreement, the Company’s Management Services Agreement with MIMUSA will terminate as to any businesses, or substantial portions thereof, that are sold and, in connection therewith, the Company will make a payment to MIMUSA based on the proceeds generated in the event of such sales and certain additional payments under certain circumstances. The disposition agreement will terminate on the earlier to occur of (i) the termination of the Management Services Agreement and (ii) the sixth anniversary, subject to extension under certain circumstances if a transaction is pending. See the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K dated October 31, 2019 for additional information.
Dividend
On October 29, 2019, the Board declared a dividend of $1.00 per share for the quarter ended September 30, 2019, which is expected to be paid on November 14, 2019 to holders of record on November 11, 2019.
PART II
OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
There have been no changes to legal proceedings set forth under Part I, Item 3 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, filed with the SEC on February 20, 2019, except for the following:
Shareholder Litigation
On April 23, 2018, a complaint captioned City of Riviera Beach General Employees Retirement System v. Macquarie Infrastructure Corp., et al., Case 1:18-cv-03608 (VSB), was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. A substantially identical complaint captioned Daniel Fajardo v. Macquarie Infrastructure Corporation, et al., Case No. 1:18-cv-03744 (VSB) was filed in the same court on April 27, 2018. Both complaints asserted claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder on behalf of a putative class consisting of all purchasers of MIC common stock between February 22, 2016 and February 21, 2018. The named defendants in both cases were the Company and four current or former officers of MIC and one of its subsidiaries, IMTT Holdings LLC. The complaints in both actions allege that the Company and the individual defendants knowingly made material misstatements and omitted material facts in its public disclosures concerning the Company’s and IMTT’s business and the sustainability of the Company’s dividend to stockholders. On January 30, 2019, the Court issued an opinion and order consolidating the two cases, appointing Moab Partners, L.P. (Moab) as Lead Plaintiff and approving Moab’s selection of lead counsel. On February 20, 2019, Moab filed a consolidated class action complaint. In addition to the claims noted above, the consolidated class action complaint also asserts claims under Sections 11, 12(a)(2) and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933 relating to the Company’s November 2016 secondary public offering of common stock. The consolidated amended complaint also adds Macquarie Infrastructure Management (USA) Inc., Barclays Capital Inc. and seven additional current or former officers or directors of MIC as defendants. On April 22, 2019, the Company and the other defendants filed motions to dismiss the consolidated class action complaint in its entirety, with prejudice. Briefing concluded on July 22, 2019. The Company intends to continue to vigorously contest the claims asserted, which the Company believes are entirely meritless.
On August 9, 2018, a shareholder derivative complaint captioned Phyllis Wright v. Liam Stewart, et al., Case No. 1:18-cv-07174 (VSB), was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. A substantially identical complaint captioned Raymond Greenlee v. James Hooke, et al., Case No. 1:18-cv-09339 (VSB) was filed in the same court on October 12, 2018. A third and substantially similar shareholder derivative complaint captioned Kim Johnson v. Liam Stewart, et al., Case No. 1:18-cv-011062 (VSB) was filed in the same court on November 27, 2018. Each of the shareholder derivative complaints assert derivative claims on behalf of the Company against certain of its current and former officers and directors arising out of the same subject matter at issue in the City of Riviera Beach and Fajardo complaints discussed above. The causes of action asserted include violation of Section 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, breach of fiduciary duties, waste of corporate assets, unjust enrichment, and aiding and abetting breach of fiduciary duty. A motion to consolidate the three actions is currently pending. Proceedings in the Wright, Greenlee and Johnson cases are otherwise stayed pending resolution of the motions to dismiss the securities class actions described above. The Company expects that the named defendants will vigorously contest the claims asserted in the Wright, Greenlee and Johnson complaints.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
There have been no material changes to the risk factors set forth under Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, filed with the SEC on February 20, 2019, except for the following:
While we are pursuing strategic alternatives, we may not be successful in identifying or completing any strategic alternative and any such strategic alternative may not yield additional value for stockholders.
In October 2019, we announced that we are pursuing strategic alternatives, which could result in, among other things, a sale of one or more of our businesses or of the Company. Our pursuit of strategic alternatives may not result in the identification or consummation of any transaction or may not yield additional value for our stockholders. In addition, we may incur substantial expenses associated with identifying and evaluating potential strategic alternatives. The process of pursuing strategic alternatives may be time consuming and disruptive to our business operations, and if we are unable to effectively manage the process, our businesses, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected. Any potential transactions, and the related valuations, would be dependent upon a number of factors that may be beyond our control, including, among others, market conditions, industry trends, the interest of third parties in our businesses and the availability of financing to potential buyers on reasonable terms.
