Notes to consolidated financial statements (unaudited)
(1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) Nature of business
TransMontaigne Partners LLC (“we,” “us,” “our,” “the Company”) provides integrated terminaling, storage, transportation and related services for companies engaged in the trading, distribution and marketing of light refined petroleum products, heavy refined petroleum products, renewable products, crude oil, chemicals, fertilizers and other liquid products. We conduct our operations in the United States along the Gulf Coast, in the Midwest, in Houston and Brownsville, Texas, along the Mississippi and Ohio rivers, in the Southeast and along the West Coast. In addition, we sell refined and renewable products to major fuel producers and marketers in the Pacific Northwest at our terminal operations in Tacoma and Seattle, Washington.
On November 17, 2021, Arclight contributed Pike West Coast Holdings, LLC (“Pike West Coast”) a portfolio company of ArcLight Energy Partners Fund VI, L.P. to the Company. Pike West Coast is an infrastructure company with significant operations across the renewable fuels supply chain in the U.S. Pacific Northwest (the “Pacific Northwest Contribution”).
Pike West Coast owns a 100% ownership interest in SeaPort Financing, LLC. SeaPort Financing, LLC owns a 100% ownership interest in SeaPort Sound Terminal, LLC, which owns a refined and renewable products terminal in Tacoma, Washington; a 51% ownership interest in SeaPort Midstream Partners, LLC (“Seaport Midstream”), which owns refined and renewable products terminals in both Seattle, Washington and Portland, Oregon; and a 30% ownership interest in Olympic Pipeline Company, LLC (“Olympic Pipeline Company”), which owns the 400-mile Olympic Pipeline between Blaine, Washington and Portland, Oregon, and a refined and renewable products terminal in Bayview, Washington.
The Pacific Northwest Contribution has been recorded at carryover basis as a reorganization of entities under common control. As such, prior periods include the assets, liabilities, and results of operations of the Pacific Northwest Contribution for all periods presented (See Note 3 of Notes to consolidated financial statements).
(b) Basis of presentation and use of estimates
Our accounting and financial reporting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of TransMontaigne Partners LLC and its controlled subsidiaries. Investments where we do not have the ability to exercise control, but do have the ability to exercise significant influence, are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal and recurring accruals) considered necessary to present fairly our financial position as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 and our results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. In management’s opinion, the estimate of useful lives of our plant and equipment are subjective in nature, require the exercise of judgment and involve complex analyses. Changes in these estimates and assumptions will occur as a result of the passage of time and the occurrence of future events. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

(c) Accounting for terminal and pipeline operations
We generate revenue from terminaling services fees, management fees, pipeline transportation fees and product sales. Under Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”) and Topic 842, Leases and the series of related Accounting Standards Updates that followed (collectively referred to as “ASC 842”), we recognize revenue over time or at a point in time, depending on the nature of the performance obligations contained in the respective contract with our customer. The contract transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. The following is an overview of our significant revenue streams, including a description of the respective performance obligations and related method of revenue recognition.
Terminaling services fees. Our terminaling services agreements are structured as either throughput agreements or storage agreements. Our throughput agreements contain provisions that require our customers to make minimum payments, which are based on contractually established minimum volumes of throughput of the customer’s product at our facilities, over a stipulated period of time. Due to this minimum payment arrangement, we recognize a fixed amount of revenue from the customer over a certain period of time, even if the customer throughputs less than the minimum volume of product during that period. In addition, if a customer throughputs a volume of product exceeding the minimum volume, we would recognize additional revenue on this incremental volume. Our storage agreements require our customers to make minimum payments based on the volume of storage capacity available to the customer under the agreement, which results in a fixed amount of recognized revenue. We refer to the fixed amount of revenue recognized pursuant to our terminaling services agreements as being “firm commitments.”
Our terminaling services agreements include revenue recognized in accordance with ASC 606 and ASC 842. At the time of contract inception, we evaluate each contract to determine whether the contract contains a lease. Significant assumptions used in this process include the determination of whether substantive substitution rights exist based on the terms of the contract and available capacity at the terminal at the time of contract inception. Our terminaling services agreements do not allow our customers to purchase the underlying asset and vary in terms and conditions with respect to extension or termination options. If a contract is accounted for as a lease under ASC 842, we recognize the minimum payments as lease revenue and revenue recognized in excess of firm commitments as a variable payment of the lease. All other components of the contracts accounted for as a lease are treated as non-lease components (ancillary revenue) and are accounted for in accordance with ASC 606. The majority of our firm commitments under our terminaling services agreements are accounted for as lease revenue in accordance with ASC 842. The remaining firm commitments under our terminaling services agreements not accounted for as lease revenue are accounted for in accordance with ASC 606, where the minimum payment arrangement in each contract is considered a single performance obligation that is primarily satisfied over time through the contract term.
Revenue recognized in excess of firm commitments and revenue recognized based solely on the volume of product distributed or injected are referred to as ancillary. The ancillary revenue associated with terminaling services include volumes of product throughput that exceed the contractually established minimum volumes, injection fees based on the volume of product injected with additive compounds, heating and mixing of stored products, product transfer, railcar handling, butane blending, proceeds from the sale of product gains, wharfage and vapor recovery. The revenue generated by these services is required to be estimated under ASC 606 for any uncertainty that is not resolved in the period of the service. We account for the majority of ancillary revenue at individual points in time when the services are delivered to the customer. The majority of our ancillary revenue is recognized in accordance with ASC 606 (See Note 15 of Notes to consolidated financial statements).
Management fees. We manage and operate certain tank capacity at our Port Everglades South terminal for a major oil company and receive a reimbursement of its proportionate share of operating and maintenance costs. We manage and operate the Frontera joint venture and receive a management fee based on our costs incurred. We lease land under operating leases as the lessor or sublessor with third parties and affiliates. We manage and operate rail sites at certain Southeast terminals on behalf of a major oil company and receive reimbursement for operating and maintenance costs. We manage and operate SeaPort Midstream and receive a management fee based on our costs incurred. We also

Notes to consolidated financial statements (unaudited) (continued)
manage additional terminal facilities that are owned by affiliates of ArcLight, including Lucknow-Highspire Terminals, LLC, which operates terminals throughout Pennsylvania encompassing approximately 9.9 million barrels of storage capacity and we receive a management fee based on our costs incurred.
Management fee revenue is recognized at individual points in time as the services are performed or as the costs are incurred and is primarily accounted for in accordance with ASC 606. Management fees related to lease revenue are accounted for in accordance with ASC 842.
Pipeline transportation fees. We earned pipeline transportation fees at our Diamondback pipeline under a capacity reservation agreement that ended on May 26, 2021. Revenue associated with the capacity reservation agreement was recognized ratably over the respective term, regardless of whether the capacity was utilized.
Product sales. Our product sales revenue refers to the sale of refined and renewable products at our terminal operations in Tacoma and Seattle, Washington. Product sales revenue pricing is contractually specified, and we have determined that each transaction represents a separate performance obligation. Product sales revenue is recognized at a point in time when our customers take control and legal title of the commodities purchased. Product sales revenue is recorded gross of cost of product sales, which includes product supply and transportation costs, as we are responsible for fulfilling the promise in the sales contract and maintain inventory risk. Product sales revenue is accounted for in accordance with ASC 606.
(d) Cash and cash equivalents
We consider all short-term investments with a remaining maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents.
(e) Inventory
Inventory represents refined and renewable products held for resale and are recorded at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined by using the average cost method. At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, our refined products inventory was approximately $4.7 million and $2.8 million, respectively. At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, our renewable products inventory was approximately $3.6 million and $2.5 million, respectively. We did not recognize any adjustments to the lower of cost or net realizable value during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.
(f) Property, plant and equipment
Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method. Estimated useful lives are 15 to 25 years for terminals and pipelines and 3 to 25 years for furniture, fixtures and equipment. All items of property, plant and equipment are carried at cost. Expenditures that increase capacity or extend useful lives are capitalized. Repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.
We evaluate long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset group may not be recoverable based on expected undiscounted future cash flows attributable to that asset group. If an asset group is impaired, the impairment loss to be recognized is the excess of the carrying amount of the asset group over its estimated fair value. We did 0t recognize any impairment charges during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.

(g) Investments in unconsolidated affiliates
We account for our investments in unconsolidated affiliates, which we do not control but do have the ability to exercise significant influence over, using the equity method of accounting. Under this method, the investment is recorded at acquisition cost, increased by our proportionate share of any earnings and additional capital contributions and decreased by our proportionate share of any losses, distributions received and amortization of any excess investment. Excess investment is the amount by which our total investment exceeds our proportionate share of the book value of the net assets of the investment entity. We evaluate our investments in unconsolidated affiliates for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate there is a loss in value of the investment that is other than temporary. In the event of impairment, we would record a charge to earnings to adjust the carrying amount to estimated fair value. We did not recognize any impairment charges during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.
(h) Environmental obligations
We accrue for environmental costs that relate to existing conditions caused by past operations when probable and reasonably estimable (See Note 10 of Notes to consolidated financial statements). Environmental costs include initial site surveys and environmental studies of potentially contaminated sites, costs for remediation and restoration of sites determined to be contaminated and ongoing monitoring costs, as well as fines, damages and other costs, including direct legal costs. Liabilities for environmental costs at a specific site are initially recorded, on an undiscounted basis, when it is probable that we will be liable for such costs, and a reasonable estimate of the associated costs can be made based on available information. Such an estimate includes our share of the liability for each specific site and the sharing of the amounts related to each site that will not be paid by other potentially responsible parties, based on enacted laws and adopted regulations and policies. Adjustments to initial estimates are recorded, from time to time, to reflect changing circumstances and estimates based upon additional information developed in subsequent periods. Estimates of our ultimate liabilities associated with environmental costs are difficult to make with certainty due to the number of variables involved, including the early stage of investigation at certain sites, the lengthy time frames required to complete remediation, technology changes, alternatives available and the evolving nature of environmental laws and regulations. We periodically file claims for insurance recoveries of certain environmental remediation costs with our insurance carriers under our comprehensive liability policies (See Note 5 of Notes to consolidated financial statements).
In connection with our acquisition of the Florida, Midwest, Brownsville, Texas, River and Southeast terminals and facilities, a third party agreed to indemnify us against certain potential environmental claims, losses and expenses. Based on our current knowledge, we expect that the active remediation projects subject to the benefit of this indemnification obligation are winding down and will not involve material additional claims, losses, and expenses.
(i) Asset retirement obligations
Asset retirement obligations are legal obligations associated with the retirement of long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development or normal use of the asset. GAAP requires that the fair value of a liability related to the retirement of long-lived assets be recorded at the time a legal obligation is incurred. Once an asset retirement obligation is identified and a liability is recorded, a corresponding asset is recorded, which is depreciated over the remaining useful life of the asset. After the initial measurement, the liability is adjusted to reflect changes in the asset retirement obligation. If and when it is determined that a legal obligation has been incurred, the fair value of any liability is determined based on estimates and assumptions related to retirement costs, future inflation rates and interest rates. Our long-lived assets consist of above-ground storage facilities and underground pipelines. We are unable to predict if and when these long-lived assets will become completely obsolete and require dismantlement. We have not recorded an asset retirement obligation, or corresponding asset, because the future dismantlement and removal dates of our long-lived assets is indeterminable and the amount of any associated costs are believed to be insignificant. Changes in our assumptions and estimates may occur as a result of the passage of time and the occurrence of future events.

(j) Accounting for derivative instruments
Generally accepted accounting principles require us to recognize all derivative instruments at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets as assets or liabilities. Changes in the fair value of our derivative instruments are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations.
At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we do not have derivative instruments. Our interest rate swap agreements ended in November 2021. Pursuant to the terms of the interest rate swap agreements, we paid a blended fixed rate and received interest payments based on the one-month LIBOR. The net difference to be paid or received under the interest rate swap agreements was settled monthly and was recognized as an adjustment to interest expense. The fair value of our interest rate swap agreements was determined using a pricing model based on the LIBOR swap rate and other observable market data. On July 27, 2022, we entered into interest rate swap agreements with an aggregate notional amount of $500 million (See Note 17 of Notes to consolidated financial statements).
(k) Income taxes
NaN provision for U.S. federal income taxes has been reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements because we are treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes. As a partnership, all income, gains, losses, expenses, deductions and tax credits generated by us flow up to our owners.
(l) Comprehensive income
Entities that report items of other comprehensive income have the option to present the components of net earnings and comprehensive income in either one continuous financial statement, or two consecutive financial statements. As we have no components of comprehensive income other than net earnings, no statement of comprehensive income has been presented.
(m) Recent accounting pronouncements
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform—Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. Further, in January 2021, the FASB issued Update No. 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848), which clarifies the scope of Topic 848 so that derivatives affected by the discounting transition are explicitly eligible for certain optional expedients and exceptions in Topic 848. This ASU provides temporary optional expedients and exceptions to GAAP guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease the financial reporting burdens of the expected market transition from LIBOR and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates, such as the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”). Entities can elect not to apply certain modification accounting requirements to contracts affected by this reference rate reform, if certain criteria are met. An entity that makes this election would not have to re-measure the contracts at the modification date or reassess a previous accounting determination. Entities can also elect various optional expedients that would allow them to continue applying hedge accounting for hedging relationships affected by reference rate reform, if certain criteria are met. The guidance is effective upon issuance and generally can be applied through December 31, 2022. We are currently reviewing the effect of this ASU on our financial statements.

(3) CONTRIBUTION OF TERMINAL ASSETS
Contribution of Pacific Northwest assets. On November 17, 2021, Arclight contributed Pike West Coast Holdings, LLC (“Pike West Coast”), a portfolio company of ArcLight Energy Partners Fund VI, L.P. to the Company in exchange for payments to certain lenders of SeaPort Financing, LLC (a wholly owned subsidiary of Pike West Coast) in the amount of approximately $198.2 million and a distribution to Arclight in the amount of approximately $256.3 million. In addition, a $10.2 million short-term loan from the Company to an ArcLight affiliate was terminated in contemplation of the contribution. Pike West Coast is an infrastructure company with significant operations across the renewable fuels supply chain in the U.S. Pacific Northwest (the “Pacific Northwest Contribution”).
Pike West Coast owns a 100% ownership interest in SeaPort Financing, LLC. SeaPort Financing, LLC owns a 100% ownership interest in SeaPort Sound Terminal, LLC, which owns a refined and renewable products terminal in Tacoma, Washington; a 51% ownership interest in SeaPort Midstream, which owns refined and renewable products terminals in both Seattle, Washington and Portland, Oregon; and a 30% ownership interest in Olympic Pipeline Company, which owns the 400-mile Olympic Pipeline between Blaine, Washington and Portland, Oregon, and a refined and renewable products terminal in Bayview, Washington.

Goodwill is required to be tested for impairment annually unless events or changes in circumstances indicate it is more likely than not that an impairment loss has been incurred at an interim date. Our annual test for the impairment of goodwill is performed as of December 31. The impairment test is performed at the reporting unit level. Our reporting
17
TransMontaigne Partners LLC and Subsidiaries
Notes to consolidated financial statements (unaudited) (continued)
units are our business segments (See Note 16 of Notes to consolidated financial statements). The fair value of each reporting unit is determined on a stand-alone basis from the perspective of a market participant and represents an estimate of the price that would be received to sell the unit as a whole in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill of the reporting unit is not considered to be impaired.
At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, our Brownsville and West Coast terminals contained goodwill. We did 0t recognize any goodwill impairment charges during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 or during the year ended December 31, 2021 for these reporting units. However, an increase in the assumed market participants’ weighted average cost of capital, the loss of a significant customer, the disposition of significant assets, or an unforeseen increase in the costs to operate and maintain the Brownsville or West Coast terminals could result in the recognition of an impairment charge in the future.
(8) INVESTMENTS IN UNCONSOLIDATED AFFILIATES
At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, our investments in unconsolidated affiliates include a 42.5% Class A ownership interest in Battleground Oil Specialty Terminal Company LLC (“BOSTCO”), a 30% ownership interest in Olympic Pipeline Company, a 51% ownership interest in SeaPort Midstream and a 50% ownership interest in Frontera.

Affiliate loan.

The outstanding principal plus any unpaid interest can be repaid at any time and becomes immediately due upon a change in control, a sale of the Company or sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets. With this loan we have reached our maximum allowable loans to affiliates under the Credit Agreement.
SeaPort Midstream member loan. We are party to a member revolving loan agreement with a total borrowing capacity of $5.0 million with Seaport Midstream due December 31, 2025. We are responsible for our proportionate share of 51% of this loan. At both June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the total outstanding borrowings were $2.5 million. Accordingly, we have recorded a loan receivable of approximately $1.3 million, representing our proportionate share of the outstanding borrowings.
Long-term customer receivables. Long-term customer receivables include amounts due under long-term terminaling services agreements, with certain of our customers, that provide for minimum annual throughput commitments. Interim billings are billed to our customers based on actual throughput volumes, whereas revenue is recognized for the minimum annual throughput commitment on a straight-line basis over the terms of the respective agreements.

notes have been refinanced on or prior to November 14, 2025, the earlier of (i) the new maturity date of the refinanced senior notes and (ii) November 17, 2026.

We are also required to pay (i) a letter of credit fee of 3.50% per annum on the aggregate face amount of all outstanding letters of credit, (ii) to the issuing lender of each letter of credit, a fronting fee of no less than 0.125% per annum on the outstanding amount of each such letter of credit and (iii) commitment fees of 0.50% per annum on the daily unused amount of the revolving credit facility, in each case quarterly in arrears.
The Credit Agreement contains various covenants, including, but not limited to, limitations on the incurrence of indebtedness, permitted investments, liens on assets, making distributions, transactions with affiliates, mergers, consolidations, dispositions of assets and other provisions customary in similar types of agreements. The Credit Agreement requires compliance with (a) a debt service coverage ratio of no less than 1.1 to 1.0 and (b) if the aggregate outstanding amount of all revolving loans and drawn letters of credit exceeds an amount equal to 35% of the aggregate revolving commitments, a senior secured net leverage ratio of no greater than 6.75 to 1.00.

(12) DEFERRED COMPENSATION EXPENSE
We have a savings and retention plan to compensate certain employees who provide services to the Company. The purpose of the savings and retention plan is to provide for the reward and retention of participants by providing them with awards that vest over future service periods. Awards under the plan with respect to individuals providing services to
22
TransMontaigne Partners LLC and Subsidiaries
Notes to consolidated financial statements (unaudited) (continued)
the Company generally become vested as to 50% of a participant’s annual award as of the first day of the month that falls closest to the second anniversary of the grant date, and the remaining 50% as of the first day of the month that falls closest to the third anniversary of the grant date, subject to earlier vesting upon a participant’s attainment of the age and length of service thresholds, retirement, death or disability, involuntary termination without cause, or termination of a participant’s employment following a change in control of the Company as specified in the plan. The awards are increased for the value of any accrued growth based on underlying investments deemed made with respect to the awards. The awards (including any accrued growth relating thereto) are subject to forfeiture until the vesting date. A person will satisfy the age and length of service thresholds of the plan upon the attainment of the earliest of (a) age sixty, (b) age fifty-five and ten years of service as an officer of the Company or any of its affiliates or predecessors, or (c) age fifty and twenty years of service as an employee of the Company or any of its affiliates or predecessors.
We have the intent and ability to settle the savings and retention plan awards in cash, and accordingly, we account for the awards as accrued liabilities. For savings and retention plan awards to employees, approximately $0.4 million is included in deferred compensation expense for both of the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. For savings and retention plan awards to employees, approximately $1.4 million and $1.2 million is included in deferred compensation expense for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
On December 31, 2021, an indirect parent of the Company modified existing class B units in the indirect parent of the Company to the officers of TransMontaigne Management Company.

For the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, we recognized approximately $0.8 million and $nil, respectively, of deferred compensation expense in our consolidated statements of operations, non-cash contribution from parent entities in our consolidated statements of equity and non-cash equity-based compensation in our consolidated statements of cash flows related to the portion of the class B units that vested on December 31, 2021.
(13) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Lessee operating lease commitments. We lease property including corporate offices, vehicles and land. We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception and evaluate identified leases for operating or finance lease treatment at lease commencement. Operating or finance lease right-of-use assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Our leases have remaining lease terms of less than one year to 49 years, some of which have options to extend or terminate the lease. For purposes of calculating operating lease liabilities, lease terms may be deemed to include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option.
Operating right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. The additions to right-of-use assets obtained from new operating lease liabilities during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 of approximately $3.2 million and $5.2 million, respectively, are treated as non-cash transactions that do not impact the consolidated statements of cash flows. The Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. We determined our incremental borrowing rate using the borrowing rate of our debt agreements. The terms of our corporate offices, vehicles and land leases are in line with the Credit Agreement, our primary finance mechanism. We have certain land and vehicle lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, which are accounted for separately. Non-lease components include payments for taxes and other operating and maintenance expenses incurred by the lessor but payable by us in connection with the leasing arrangement. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company was party to certain subleasing arrangements whereby the Company, as the primary obligor on the lease, has recognized sublease income for lease payments made by affiliates to the lessor.

(14) DISCLOSURES ABOUT FAIR VALUE
GAAP defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. GAAP also establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the use of higher-level inputs for valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are: (1) Level 1 inputs, which are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; (2) Level 2 inputs, which are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and (3) Level 3 inputs, which are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
The fair values of the following financial instruments represent our best estimate of the amounts that would be received to sell those assets or that would be paid to transfer those liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at that date. Our fair value measurements maximize the use of observable inputs. However, in situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date, the fair value measurement reflects our judgments about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best information available in the circumstances. There were 0 transfers into or out of Levels 1, 2, and 3 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.
Cash equivalents. The carrying amount approximates fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments. The fair value is categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
Debt. The estimated fair value of our $995 million senior secured term loan at June 30, 2022 was approximately $939 million based on observable market trades. The estimated fair value of our $299.9 million publicly traded senior notes at June 30, 2022 was approximately $265 million based on observable market trades. The carrying amount of our revolving credit facility debt approximates fair value since borrowings under the facility bear interest at current market interest rates. The fair value of our debt is categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

BALANCE SHEET DISCLOSURES
Contract assets. Our contract assets include trade accounts receivable and long-term customer receivables. We have long-term terminaling services agreements with certain of our customers that provide for minimum annual throughput commitments that are billed to the customers based on actual throughput volume whereas revenue is recognized under ASC 606 and ASC 842 on a straight-line basis over the terms of the respective agreements. The difference between the amount billed and revenue recognized is a contract asset. This asset is presented as other assets, net in our consolidated balance sheets (See Note 9 of Notes to consolidated financial statements).
The following tables present our contract assets resulting from contracts with customers (in thousands):

Revenue recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2022, from amounts included in long-term customer receivables at December 31, 2021, was $nil for contracts under ASC 606 and approximately $0.5 million for contracts under ASC 842.
Contract liabilities. Our contract liabilities include deferred revenue and customer advances and deposits. We have long-term terminaling services agreements with certain of our customers that provide for advance minimum payments. We recognize the advance minimum payments as revenue on a straight-line basis over the term of the respective agreements. In addition, pursuant to certain agreements with our customers, we agreed to undertake certain capital projects. Upon completion of the projects, our customers have paid us amounts that will be recognized as revenue on a straight-line basis over the remaining term of the agreements. Collectively, the differences between amounts billed and revenue recognized under ASC 606 and ASC 842 are recorded as contract liabilities. These liabilities are presented as deferred revenue in our consolidated balance sheets. We record customer advances and deposits when payments are received from customers in advance of the terminaling services being provided, resulting in a contract liability accounted for under ASC 606 and ASC 842. This liability is presented as accrued liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets (See Note 10 of Notes to consolidated financial statements).

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
A summary of the significant accounting policies that we have adopted and followed in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements is detailed in Note 1 of Notes to consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. Certain of these accounting policies require the use of estimates. In management’s opinion, the estimate of useful lives of our plant and equipment are subjective in nature, require the exercise of judgment and involve complex analyses. These estimates are based on our knowledge and understanding of current conditions and actions we may take in the future. Changes in these estimates will occur as a result of the passage of time and the occurrence of future events. Subsequent changes in these estimates may have a significant impact on our financial condition and results of operations.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS—THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2022 AND 2021
The Pacific Northwest Contribution has been recorded at carryover basis as a reorganization of entities under common control. As such, prior periods set forth herein and under Item 1. “Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements” of this Quarterly Report, include the assets, liabilities, and results of operations of the Pacific Northwest Contribution for all periods presented.
We operate our business and report our results of operations in seven principal business segments: (i) Gulf Coast terminals, (ii) Midwest terminals, (iii) Brownsville terminals including management of Frontera, (iv) River terminals, (v) Southeast terminals, (vi) West Coast terminals and (vii) Central services. Our Central services segment primarily represents the costs of employees performing operating oversight functions, engineering, health, safety and environmental services to our terminals and terminals that we operate. In addition, Central services represent the cost of employees at standalone affiliate terminals that we operate or manage. We receive a fee from these affiliates based on our costs incurred.
The following discussion and analysis of the results of operations and financial condition should be read in conjunction with the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements.
ANALYSIS OF REVENUE
Terminal revenue. We derive terminal revenue from our terminal and pipeline transportation operations by charging fees for providing integrated terminaling, transportation and related services.
The terminal revenue by category was as follows (in thousands):

Product sales, gross margin. Our product sales revenue refers to the sale of refined and renewable products at our terminal operations in Tacoma and Seattle, Washington. Product sales revenue pricing is contractually specified and is recognized at a point in time when our customers take control and legal title of the commodities purchased. Product sales revenue is recorded gross of cost of product sales, which includes product supply and transportation costs.

Terminaling services fees. Our terminaling services agreements are structured as either throughput agreements or storage agreements. Our throughput agreements contain provisions that require our customers to make minimum payments, which are based on contractually established minimum volume of throughput of the customer’s product at our facilities over a stipulated period of time. Due to this minimum payment arrangement, we recognize a fixed amount of revenue from the customer over a certain period of time, even if the customer throughputs less than the minimum volume of product during that period. In addition, if a customer throughputs a volume of product exceeding the minimum volume, we would recognize additional revenue on this incremental volume. Our storage agreements require our customers to make minimum payments based on the volume of storage capacity available to the customer under the agreement, which results in a fixed amount of recognized revenue.
We refer to the fixed amount of revenue recognized pursuant to our terminaling services agreements as being “firm commitments.” Revenue recognized in excess of firm commitments and revenue recognized based solely on the volume of product distributed or injected are referred to as “ancillary.” In addition, “ancillary” revenue also includes fees received from ancillary services including heating and mixing of stored products, product transfer, railcar handling, butane blending, proceeds from the sale of product gains, wharfage and vapor recovery.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS—SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2022 AND 2021
The Pacific Northwest Contribution has been recorded at carryover basis as a reorganization of entities under common control. As such, prior periods set forth herein and under Item 1. “Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements” of this Quarterly Report, include the assets, liabilities, and results of operations of the Pacific Northwest Contribution for all periods presented.
We operate our business and report our results of operations in seven principal business segments: (i) Gulf Coast terminals, (ii) Midwest terminals, (iii) Brownsville terminals including management of Frontera, (iv) River terminals, (v) Southeast terminals, (vi) West Coast terminals and (vii) Central services. Our Central services segment primarily represents the costs of employees performing operating oversight functions, engineering, health, safety and environmental services to our terminals and terminals that we operate. In addition, Central services represent the cost of employees at standalone affiliate terminals that we operate or manage. We receive a fee from these affiliates based on our costs incurred.
The following discussion and analysis of the results of operations and financial condition should be read in conjunction with the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements.

Terminaling services fees. Our terminaling services agreements are structured as either throughput agreements or storage agreements. Our throughput agreements contain provisions that require our customers to make minimum payments, which are based on contractually established minimum volume of throughput of the customer’s product at our facilities over a stipulated period of time. Due to this minimum payment arrangement, we recognize a fixed amount of revenue from the customer over a certain period of time, even if the customer throughputs less than the minimum volume of product during that period. In addition, if a customer throughputs a volume of product exceeding the minimum volume, we would recognize additional revenue on this incremental volume. Our storage agreements require our customers to make minimum payments based on the volume of storage capacity available to the customer under the agreement, which results in a fixed amount of recognized revenue.
We refer to the fixed amount of revenue recognized pursuant to our terminaling services agreements as being “firm commitments.” Revenue recognized in excess of firm commitments and revenue recognized based solely on the volume of product distributed or injected are referred to as “ancillary.” In addition, “ancillary” revenue also includes fees received from ancillary services including heating and mixing of stored products, product transfer, railcar handling, butane blending, proceeds from the sale of product gains, wharfage and vapor recovery.

The increase in terminaling services fees at our Gulf Coast terminals is primarily due to contracting available capacity and contract escalations.
The increase in terminaling services fees at our Brownsville terminals is primarily a result of placing into service approximately 0.2 million barrels of new tank capacity and construction of gasoline railcar loading capabilities during the first quarter of 2021.
The decrease in terminaling services fees at our Southeast terminals is primarily due to available capacity at our Collins, Mississippi terminal and recontracting capacity at lower rates at our Collins, Mississippi terminal.
The increase in terminaling services fees at our West Coast terminals is primarily a result of placing various growth projects into service during the first quarter of 2022 and increased ancillary fees.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our primary liquidity needs are to fund our debt service obligations, working capital requirements and capital projects, including additional investments and expansion, development and acquisition opportunities. We expect to fund any additional investments, capital projects and future expansion, development and acquisition opportunities with cash flows from operations and additional borrowings under our revolving credit facility.
Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, investing activities and financing activities were as follows (in thousands):
| | | | | | |

Net cash provided by operating activities | | $ | 40,180 | | $ | 54,145 |

Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities | | $ | 4,136 | | $ | (28,891) |
The approximately $14.0 million decrease in net cash provided by operating activities is primarily related to the timing of working capital requirements and increased interest expense related to the Pacific Northwest Contribution on November 17, 2021.
The approximately $24.3 million increase in net cash used in investing activities is primarily related to a $25 million affiliate loan to our indirect parent, Pike Petroleum Holdings, LLC, on March 30, 2022.
Additional investments and expansion capital projects at our terminals have been approved and currently are, or will be, under construction with estimated completion dates through 2023. At June 30, 2022, the remaining expenditures to complete the approved projects are estimated to be approximately $30 million. These expenditures primarily relate to the construction costs associated with the expansion of our Southeast and West Coast operations.
The approximately $33.0 million change in net cash provided by (used in) financing activities is primarily related to an increase of approximately $29.0 million in net borrowings under our revolving credit facility to fund the $25 million affiliate loan to our indirect parent, Pike Petroleum Holdings, LLC, on March 30, 2022.
Credit agreement. On November 17, 2021, the Company and TransMontaigne Operating Company L.P., our wholly owned subsidiary, entered into the Credit Agreement (“Credit Agreement”) for a $1 billion senior secured term loan and a $150 million revolving credit facility, with a letter of credit subfacility of $35 million. The senior secured term loan will mature on November 17, 2028 and the revolving credit facility will terminate (a) on November 14, 2025 in the event our 6.125% senior notes due in 2026 are not refinanced on or prior to such date or (b) in the event the senior notes have been refinanced on or prior to November 14, 2025, the earlier of (i) the new maturity date of the refinanced senior notes and (ii) November 17, 2026. Our obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by the Company, TransMontaigne Operating Company L.P. and all of its subsidiaries, and secured by a first priority security interest in favor of the lenders in substantially all of the Company’s, TransMontaigne Operating Company L.P.’s and all of its subsidiaries’ assets, including our investments in unconsolidated affiliates.
Proceeds from the $1 billion senior secured term loan were used as follows (in thousands):
| | | |
Repayment of revolving credit facility | | $ | 351,700 |
Payment for Pacific Northwest Contribution | | | 256,300 |
Repayment of SeaPort Financing term loan | | | 198,200 |
Distribution to TLP Finance Holdings, LLC for debt service | | | 174,200 |
Deferred debt issuance costs | | | 19,600 |
Proceeds from senior secured term loan | | $ | 1,000,000 |
We may elect to have loans under the Credit Agreement bear interest, at either an adjusted LIBOR rate (subject to a 0.50% floor) plus an applicable margin of 3.50% or an alternate base rate plus an applicable margin of 2.50% per
43
annum. We are also required to pay (i) a letter of credit fee of 3.50% per annum on the aggregate face amount of all outstanding letters of credit, (ii) to the issuing lender of each letter of credit, a fronting fee of no less than 0.125% per annum on the outstanding amount of each such letter of credit and (iii) commitment fees of 0.50% per annum on the daily unused amount of the revolving credit facility, in each case quarterly in arrears.
The Credit Agreement contains various covenants, including, but not limited to, limitations on the incurrence of indebtedness, permitted investments, liens on assets, making distributions, transactions with affiliates, mergers, consolidations, dispositions of assets and other provisions customary in similar types of agreements. The Credit Agreement requires compliance, beginning with the first full fiscal quarter of 2022, with (a) a debt service coverage ratio of no less than 1.1 to 1.0 and (b) if the aggregate outstanding amount of all revolving loans and drawn letters of credit exceeds an amount equal to 35% of the aggregate revolving commitments, a senior secured net leverage ratio of no greater than 6.75 to 1.00. We were in compliance with all financial covenants as of and during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and the year ended December 31, 2021.
If we were to fail a financial performance covenant, or any other covenant contained in the Credit Agreement, we would seek a waiver from our lenders under such facility. If we were unable to obtain a waiver from our lenders and the default remained uncured after any applicable grace period, we would be in breach of the Credit Agreement, and the lenders would be entitled to declare all outstanding borrowings immediately due and payable.

Senior notes. On February 12, 2018, the Company and TLP Finance Corp., our wholly owned subsidiary, issued at par $300 million of 6.125% senior notes, due in 2026. The senior notes remain outstanding and the Company is voluntarily filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the covenants contained in the senior notes. The senior notes contain customary covenants (including those relating to our voluntary filing of this report and certain restrictions and obligations with respect to types of payments we may make, indebtedness we may incur, transactions we may pursue, or changes in our control) and customary events of default (including those relating to monetary defaults, covenant defaults, cross defaults and bankruptcy events). We may, at any time and from time to time, seek to retire or purchase our outstanding debt through cash purchases, open-market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Such repurchases, if any, will be upon such terms and at such prices as we may determine, and will depend on
44
prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors. The amounts involved may be material.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The information contained in this Item 3 updates, and should be read in conjunction with, information set forth in Part II, Item 7A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed on March 31, 2022 in addition to the interim unaudited consolidated financial statements, accompanying notes and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations presented in Part 1, Items 1 and 2 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. There are no material changes in the market risks faced by us from those reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.
Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices. A principal market risk to which we are exposed is interest rate risk associated with borrowings under our senior secured term loan and revolving credit facility. Borrowings under our senior secured term loan and revolving credit facility bear interest at either an adjusted LIBOR rate (subject to a 0.50% floor) plus an applicable margin of 3.50% or an alternate base rate plus an applicable margin of 2.50% per annum. We have historically, on occasion, managed a portion of our interest rate risk with interest rate swaps, which reduced our exposure to changes in interest rates by converting variable interest rates to fixed interest rates. At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we did not have derivative instruments, including interest rate swap agreements. On July 27, 2022, the Company and TransMontaigne Operating Company L.P., our wholly owned subsidiary, entered into interest rate swap agreements with an aggregate notional amount of $500 million effective August 18, 2022 through August 18, 2025. Pursuant to the terms of the interest rate swap agreements, we will pay a blended fixed rate of approximately 2.87% and receive interest payments based on the one-month LIBOR through July 17, 2023. Thereafter, we will receive interest payments based on the one-month CME Term SOFR. The net difference to be paid or received under the interest rate swap agreements will be settled monthly and recognized as an adjustment to interest expense. At June 30, 2022, we had outstanding borrowings of $995.0 million under our senior secured term loan and $25 million under our revolving credit facility. Based on the outstanding balance of our variable-interest-rate debt and not having interest rate swap agreements at June 30, 2022, assuming market interest rates increase or decrease by 100 basis points, the potential annual increase or decrease in interest expense is approximately $10.2 million.
We sell refined and renewable products to major fuel producers and marketers in the Pacific Northwest at our terminal operations in Tacoma and Seattle, Washington. Our direct exposure to changes in commodity prices is limited to these product sales and the value of product gains and losses arising from terminaling services agreements with certain customers, which accounts for a small portion of our revenue. We do not use derivative commodity instruments to manage the commodity risk associated with the product we may own at any given time.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit to the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the Commission’s rules and forms, and that information is accumulated and communicated to the management of the Company, including the Company’s principal executive and principal financial officer (whom we refer to as the Certifying Officers), as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The management of the Company evaluated, with the participation of the Certifying Officers, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2022, pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, the Certifying Officers concluded that, as of June 30, 2022, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
