Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
Certain matters contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q include "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). We make these forward-looking statements in reliance on the safe harbor protections provided under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
All statements, other than statements of historical fact, included in this Form 10-Q regarding the prospects of our industry, our anticipated financial performance, management’s plans and objectives for future operations, planned capital expenditures, business prospects, outcome of regulatory proceedings, market conditions and other matters, may constitute forward-looking statements. In addition, forward-looking statements generally can be identified by the use of forward-looking words such as "may," "will," "expect," "intend," "estimate," "foresee," "project," "anticipate," "believe," "plans," "forecasts," "continue" or "could" or the negative of these terms or variations of them or similar terms. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot assure you that these expectations will prove to be correct. These forward-looking statements are subject to certain known and unknown risks, and uncertainties, as well as assumptions that could cause actual results to differ materially from those reflected in these forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause actual results to differ include, but are not limited to, those discussed in Item 1A of our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, entitled "Risk Factors," risk factors discussed in other reports and documents that we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and the following:
• | The failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the transaction, consummated on September 30, 2016, pursuant to which we acquired all of the outstanding common units of our subsidiary, Rose Rock Midstream, L.P. (“Rose Rock”), not already owned by us; |
• | Our ability to generate sufficient cash flow from operations to enable us to pay our debt obligations and our current and expected dividends or to fund our other liquidity needs; |
• | Any sustained reduction in demand for, or supply of, the petroleum products we gather, transport, process, market and store; |
• | The effect of our debt level on our future financial and operating flexibility, including our ability to obtain additional capital on terms that are favorable to us; |
• | Our ability to access the debt and equity markets, which will depend on general market conditions and the credit ratings for our debt obligations and equity; |
• | The loss of, or a material nonpayment or nonperformance by, any of our key customers; |
• | The amount of cash distributions, capital requirements and performance of our investments and joint ventures; |
• | The amount of collateral required to be posted from time to time in our purchase, sale or derivative transactions; |
• | The impact of operational and developmental hazards and unforeseen interruptions; |
• | Our ability to obtain new sources of supply of petroleum products; |
• | Competition from other midstream energy companies; |
• | Our ability to comply with the covenants contained in our credit agreement and the indentures governing our senior notes, including requirements under our credit agreement to maintain certain financial ratios; |
• | Our ability to renew or replace expiring storage, transportation and related contracts; |
• | The overall forward markets for crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids; |
• | The possibility that the construction or acquisition of new assets may not result in the corresponding anticipated revenue increases; |
• | Changes in currency exchange rates; |
• | Weather and other natural phenomena, including climate conditions; |
• | A cyber attack involving our information systems and related infrastructure, or that of our business associates; |
• | The risks and uncertainties of doing business outside of the U.S., including political and economic instability and changes in local governmental laws, regulations and policies; |
• | Costs of, or changes in, laws and regulations and our failure to comply with new or existing laws or regulations, particularly with regard to taxes, safety and protection of the environment; |
Page 3
• | The possibility that our hedging activities may result in losses or may have a negative impact on our financial results; and |
• | General economic, market and business conditions. |
New factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all such factors, or the extent to which any such factor or combination of factors may cause actual results to differ from those contained in any forward-looking statement.
Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-Q, which reflect management’s opinions only as of the date hereof. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to revise or publicly release the results of any revision to any forward-looking statements.

SEMGROUP CORPORATION
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
1. | OVERVIEW |
SemGroup Corporation is a Delaware corporation headquartered in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The terms "we," "our," "us," "SemGroup," "the Company" and similar language used in these notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements refer to SemGroup Corporation and its subsidiaries.
Basis of presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2016, which is derived from audited financial statements, and the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). These financial statements include all normal and recurring adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company and the results of its operations and its cash flows.
Our condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of our controlled subsidiaries. All significant transactions between our consolidated subsidiaries have been eliminated.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Although management believes these estimates are reasonable, actual results could differ materially from these estimates. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2017, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2017.
Pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and notes normally included with financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Certain reclassifications have been made to conform previously reported balances to the current presentation. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2016, which are included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, filed with the SEC.
Our significant accounting policies are consistent with those described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.
Prior year amounts have been recast from the amounts originally reported to correct for an immaterial error identified by management in the fourth quarter of 2016 related to an under capitalization of interest on certain capital projects. Previously reported interest expense has been decreased by $1.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2016, with a corresponding increase to net income before tax. Earnings per basic share was increased by $0.03 per share for the quarter ended March 31, 2016.
Recent accounting pronouncements
In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2017-07, "Compensation - Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost", which requires that an employer disaggregate the service cost component from other components of net benefit cost. This ASU also provides explicit guidance on how to present the service cost component and the other components of net benefit cost in the income statement and allows only the service cost component of net benefit cost to be eligible for capitalization. For public entities, this ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those years. We will adopt this guidance in the first quarter of 2018. The impact is not expected to be material.
In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory", which requires an entity to recognize the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory when the transfer occurs. For public entities, this ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those years and early adoption is permitted in the year prior to the effective date. We will adopt this guidance in the first quarter of 2018. The impact is not expected to be material.
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, "Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (a consensus of the Emerging Issues Task Force)", to reduce diversity in practice in how certain transactions are classified in the statement of cash flows. The update addresses eight different transaction types and clarifies how to classify each in the statement of cash flows, where previously there was unclear or no specific

guidance. For public entities, this ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those years and early adoption is permitted in the year prior to the effective date. We will adopt this guidance in the first quarter of 2018. The impact is not expected to be material.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, "Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments", which introduces new guidance for estimating credit losses on certain types of financial instruments based on expected losses and the timing of the recognition of such losses. For public entities, this ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those years and early adoption is permitted in the year prior to the effective date. We will adopt this guidance in the first quarter of 2020. The impact is not expected to be material.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, "Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting'', which simplifies several aspects of the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions, including the accounting for income taxes, forfeitures and statutory tax withholding requirements, as well as classification in the statement of cash flows. For public entities, this ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those years and early adoption is permitted. We adopted this guidance in the first quarter of 2017. We recorded adjustments of $2.1 million and $1.7 million to "accumulated deficit" and "additional paid-in capital", respectively, upon adoption offset by changes to our income tax liabilities.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)", which amends the existing lease guidance to require lessees to recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for the rights and obligations created by operating and finance leases and to disclose additional quantitative and qualitative information about leasing arrangements. This ASU also provides clarifications surrounding the presentation of the effects of leases in the income statement and statement of cash flows. For public entities, this ASU will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those years. The new guidance will be applied using a modified retrospective approach and early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-02 on our consolidated financial statements, but are not yet able to quantify the impact. We continue to monitor FASB activity related to this ASU and have engaged with various peer groups to assess certain interpretive issues related to this ASU. We will adopt this guidance in the first quarter of 2019.
In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes", which requires all deferred tax assets and liabilities to be classified as noncurrent in the statement of financial position. For public entities, this ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those years. The new guidance may be applied prospectively or retrospectively and early adoption is permitted. We adopted this guidance in the first quarter of 2017. Prior periods were not retrospectively adjusted and the impact was not material.
In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, "Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory", which requires that inventory within the scope of the guidance be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value rather than the lower of cost or market. The standard will be effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The new guidance shall be applied prospectively and early adoption is permitted. We adopted this guidance in the first quarter of 2017. The impact was not material.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers", as amended, which supersedes nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is to recognize revenues when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 defines a five step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process than are required under existing U.S. GAAP. The standard permits using either of the following transition methods: (i) a full retrospective approach reflecting the application of the standard in each prior reporting period with the option to elect certain practical expedients, or (ii) a retrospective approach with the cumulative effect of initially adopting ASU 2014-09 recognized at the date of adoption (which includes additional footnote disclosures). We are currently evaluating the impact of our pending adoption of ASU 2014-09 on our consolidated financial statements. We have completed the first phase of our implementation process which included a review of contracts and transaction types from each significant revenue stream across all of our business segments. In addition, we are currently evaluating the methods of
Page 9
SEMGROUP CORPORATION
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
1. | OVERVIEW, Continued |
adoption and analyzing the impact of the standard on our internal controls, accounting policies and financial statements and disclosures.
Based on the initial phase of our implementation process, we have identified certain potential areas of impact, such as non-cash consideration and "take-or-pay" arrangements.
• | We have certain contractual arrangements where we retain commodities as consideration for processing of customer product. These arrangements could be impacted by the non-cash consideration guidance under ASU 2014-09. Currently revenue related to non-cash consideration is recognized when we sell the commodity. Under ASU 2014-09, we could recognize revenue when the commodity is received, rather than when it is sold. |
• | In addition, certain contractual arrangements include "take-or-pay" provisions. The fixed fees to which we have an unconditional right under these contracts could be subject to certain recognition changes and additional disclosure under ASU 2014-09. |
As we are in the process of evaluating the impact of the standard, we have not yet quantified the impact of adoption or determined the method of adoption. During 2017, we will perform the remainder of our implementation process, which will include quantification of impact, selection of adoption method and development of policies. We will adopt this guidance in the first quarter of 2018.

White Cliffs Pipeline, L.L.C.
Certain unaudited summarized income statement information of White Cliffs Pipeline, L.L.C. ("White Cliffs") for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, is shown below (in thousands):

Depreciation and amortization expense | $ | 9,256 | $ | 8,963 | |||
Net income | $ | 30,575 | $ | 39,247 |
The equity in earnings of White Cliffs for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, is less than 51% of the net income of White Cliffs for the same periods. This is due to certain general and administrative expenses we incur in managing the operations of White Cliffs that the other owners are not obligated to share. In addition, our equity in earnings is also impacted by the elimination of earnings on commodity sales with White Cliffs. Revenue related to inventory transactions with White Cliffs is deferred until a sale of the inventory has been made with a third party.
Glass Mountain Pipeline, LLC
We own a 50% interest in Glass Mountain Pipeline, LLC ("Glass Mountain"), which we account for under the equity method. The excess of the recorded amount of our investment over the book value of our share of the underlying net assets represents equity method goodwill and capitalized interest at March 31, 2017. Capitalized interest is amortized as a reduction of earnings from equity method investments.

The equity in earnings of Glass Mountain for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, reported in our condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) is less than 50% of the net income of Glass Mountain for the same period due to amortization of capitalized interest for the period.
For the three months ended March 31, 2017, we contributed $2.1 million to Glass Mountain related to capital projects.
NGL Energy Partners LP
We own an 11.78% interest in the general partner of NGL Energy Partners LP (NYSE: NGL) ("NGL Energy") which is being accounted for under the equity method in accordance ASC 323-30-S99-1, as our ownership is in excess of the 3 to 5 percent interest which is generally considered to be more than minor. The general partner of NGL Energy is not a publicly traded company.
Our policy is to record our equity in earnings of NGL Energy on a one-quarter lag, as we do not expect information on the earnings of NGL Energy to always be available in time to consistently record the earnings in the quarter in which they are generated. Accordingly, the equity in earnings from NGL Energy, which is reflected in our condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, relates to the earnings of NGL Energy for the three months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

2. | EQUITY METHOD INVESTMENTS, Continued |
During the three months ended December 31, 2015, NGL issued common units which diluted our limited partnership interest. As we record activity on a one-quarter lag, we recognized a non-cash loss of $41.0 thousand associated with these issuances for the three months ended March 31, 2016.
3. | SEGMENTS |
Our businesses are organized based on the nature and location of the services they provide. Certain summarized information related to our reportable segments is shown in the tables below. None of the operating segments have been aggregated. Although Corporate and Other does not represent an operating segment, it is included in the tables below to reconcile segment information to that of the consolidated Company. Eliminations of transactions between segments are also included within Corporate and Other in the tables below.
The accounting policies of each segment are the same as the accounting policies of the consolidated Company. Transactions between segments are generally recorded based on prices negotiated between the segments. Certain general and administrative expenses incurred at the corporate level were allocated to the segments based on our allocation policies in effect at the time.
Our equity investment in NGL Energy was previously included within the SemStream segment. However, in the second quarter of 2016, we disposed of our limited partner interest in NGL Energy. Subsequent to this disposal, amounts related to our remaining general partner investment in NGL Energy are not material and are not expected to be material for the foreseeable future. As our investment in NGL Energy is the only asset of SemStream, we have ceased to report SemStream as a segment. Prior period amounts have been recast to include the former SemStream balances as part of Corporate and Other. See Note 2 for additional information.

5. | FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS |
Fair value of financial instruments
We record certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value at each balance sheet date. The tables below summarize the balances of commodity derivative assets and liabilities at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 (in thousands):

*Relates primarily to exchange traded futures. Gain and loss positions on multiple contracts are settled net on a daily basis with the exchange.
"Level 1" measurements are based on inputs consisting of unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities. These include commodity futures contracts that are traded on an exchange.
"Level 2" measurements are based on inputs consisting of market observable and corroborated prices for similar derivative contracts. Assets and liabilities classified as Level 2 include over the counter ("OTC") traded physical fixed priced purchases and sales forward contracts.
"Level 3" measurements are based on inputs from a pricing service and/or internal valuation models incorporating observable and unobservable market data. These include commodity derivatives, such as forwards and swaps for which there is not a highly liquid market and therefore are not included in Level 2 above.
Financial assets and liabilities are classified based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the measurement requires judgment and may affect the valuation of assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value levels. At March 31, 2017, all of our physical fixed price forward purchases and sales contracts were being accounted for as normal purchases and normal sales.
There were no financial assets or liabilities recorded at fair value which were classified as Level 2 or Level 3 during the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016.
Commodity derivative contracts
Our consolidated results of operations and cash flows are impacted by changes in market prices for petroleum products. This exposure to commodity price risk is managed, in part, by entering into various commodity derivatives.
We seek to manage the price risk associated with our marketing operations by limiting our net open positions through (i) the concurrent purchase and sale of like quantities of petroleum products to create back-to-back transactions that are
Page 15
SEMGROUP CORPORATION

5. | FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS, Continued |
intended to lock in positive margins based on the timing, location or quality of the petroleum products purchased and delivered or (ii) derivative contracts. Our storage and transportation assets can also be used to mitigate time and location basis risks, respectively. All marketing activities are subject to our Comprehensive Risk Management Policy, a Delegation of Authority policy and their supporting policies and procedures, which establish limits in order to manage risk and mitigate financial exposure.
Our commodity derivatives can be comprised of swaps, futures contracts and forward contracts of crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids. These are defined as follows:
Swaps – OTC transactions where a floating price, basis or index is exchanged for a fixed (or a different floating) price, basis or index at a preset schedule in the future, according to an agreed-upon formula.
Futures contracts – Exchange traded contracts to buy or sell a commodity. These contracts are standardized by the exchange in terms of quality, quantity, delivery period and location for each commodity.
Forward contracts – OTC contracts to buy or sell a commodity at an agreed upon future date. The buyer and seller agree on specific terms (price, quantity, delivery period and location) and conditions at the inception of the contract.
The following table sets forth the notional quantities for commodity derivative instruments entered into (in thousands of barrels):

2017 | 2016 | ||||
Sales | 4,312 | 10,420 | |||
Purchases | 4,131 | 10,510 |
We have not designated any of our commodity derivative instruments as accounting hedges. We have recorded the fair value of our commodity derivative instruments on our condensed consolidated balance sheets in "other current assets" and "other current liabilities" in the following amounts (in thousands):

We have posted margin deposits as collateral with brokers who have the right of set off associated with these funds. At March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, our margin deposit balances were in net asset positions of $3.9 million and $3.6 million, respectively. These margin account balances have not been offset against our net commodity derivative instrument (contract) positions. Had these margin deposits been netted against our net commodity derivative instrument (contract) positions as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we would have had net asset positions of $2.5 million and $2.3 million, respectively.
Realized and unrealized gains (losses) from our commodity derivatives were recorded to product revenue in the following amounts (in thousands):

Concentrations of risk
During the three months ended March 31, 2017, one customer, primarily of our Crude Supply and Logistics segment, accounted for more than 10% of our consolidated revenue with revenues of $123.2 million. No suppliers accounted for more than 10% of our costs of products sold.
At March 31, 2017, two third-party customers of our Crude Supply and Logistics segment accounted for approximately 34% of our consolidated accounts receivable.

6. | INCOME TAXES |
The effective tax rate was (1)% and 81% for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The rate for the three months ended March 31, 2017 is impacted by a discrete tax expense of $1.4 million related to the vesting of restricted stock during the period. The rate for the three months ended March 31, 2016 is impacted by a non-controlling interest in Rose Rock Midstream, L.P. ("Rose Rock") for which taxes are not provided. Significant items that impacted the effective tax rate for each period, as compared to the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35%, include earnings in foreign jurisdictions taxed at lower rates and foreign earnings taxed in foreign jurisdictions as well as in the U.S., since they are disregarded entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes. These combined factors, and the magnitude of the permanent items impacting the tax rate relative to income from continuing operations before income taxes result in rates that are not comparable between the periods.
We have a valuation allowance on a small portion of our state net operating loss carryovers with shorter carryover periods and our foreign tax credit carryover. We have not released the valuation allowance on the foreign tax credits due to the foreign tax credit limitation and the relative subjectivity of forecasts of the relational magnitude of U.S. and foreign taxable income in future periods, as well as the shorter carryover period available for the credits. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when a determination is made that it is more likely than not that some, or all, of the deferred tax assets will not be realized based on the weight of all available evidence. Evidence which is objectively verifiable carries a higher weight in the analysis. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the existence of sufficient taxable income of the appropriate character within the carryback and carryforward period available under the tax law. Sources of taxable income include future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, future earnings and available tax planning strategies.
We have analyzed filing positions in all of the federal, state and foreign jurisdictions where we are required to file income tax returns and determined that no accruals related to uncertainty in tax positions are required. All income tax years of the Company ending after the emergence from bankruptcy remain open for examination in U.S. jurisdictions under general operation of the statute of limitations, including special provisions with regard to net operating loss carryovers. In foreign jurisdictions, all tax periods prior to the emergence from bankruptcy are closed. The statute of limitations has not been waived with respect to any foreign jurisdictions post emergence and tax periods are open for examination in accordance with the general statutes of each foreign jurisdiction. Currently, there are no examinations in progress for our federal and state jurisdictions. Canada Revenue Agency has initiated an income tax audit of SemCAMS ULC for the tax years 2013 and 2014. No other foreign jurisdictions are currently under audit.

Senior unsecured notes due 2021
On March 15, 2017, we purchased $290 million of our outstanding $300 million 7.50% senior unsecured notes due 2021 (the "2021 Notes") through a tender offer. The purchase price included a premium and interest to the purchase date. On March 17, 2017, a notice of redemption was issued for the remaining $10 million of 2021 Notes which were not purchased through the tender offer pursuant to the redemption and satisfaction and discharge provisions of the indenture governing the 2021 Notes. These remaining 2021 Notes will be redeemed on June 15, 2017, including a redemption premium and accrued unpaid interest to the redemption date. We have transferred sufficient funds to the trustee to redeem the these remaining 2021 Notes including the redemption premium and interest to June 15, 2017, in accordance with the governing indenture. Consequently, we have derecognized the associated liability and written off associated unamortized debt issuance costs. We recorded a loss on early extinguishment of $19.9 million for the above transactions, which included premiums totaling $15.9 million and the write off of $3.6 million of associated unamortized debt issuance costs.
For the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, we incurred $5.0 million and $5.8 million, respectively, of interest expense related to the 2021 Notes including amortization of debt issuance costs.
Senior unsecured notes due 2022
At March 31, 2017, we had outstanding $400 million of 5.625% senior unsecured notes due 2022 (the "2022 Notes"). For the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, we incurred $5.9 million and $5.9 million, respectively, of interest expense related to the 2022 Notes including amortization of debt issuance costs.
Senior unsecured notes due 2023
At March 31, 2017, we had outstanding $350 million of 5.625% senior unsecured notes due 2023 (the “2023 Notes”). For the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, we incurred $5.2 million and $5.2 million, respectively, of interest expense related to the 2023 Notes including amortization of debt issuance costs and discount.
Senior unsecured notes due 2025
On March 15, 2017, we sold $325 million of 6.375% senior unsecured notes due 2025 (the "2025 Notes"). The 2025 Notes were sold at 98.467% of par, a discount of $5.0 million. The discount is reported as a reduction to the face value of the 2025 Notes on our condensed consolidated balance sheets and is being amortized over the life of the 2025 Notes using the interest method.
The net proceeds from the offering of $315.5 million, after the discount and $4.5 million of initial purchasers' fees and offering expenses, together with cash on hand, were used to purchase and redeem the 2021 Notes.
The 2025 Notes were issued under an indenture (the “Indenture”) entered into on March 15, 2017, by and among the Company, the Guarantors and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”). The 2025 Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by our existing subsidiaries that guarantee our revolving credit facility. Interest on the 2025 Notes accrues at a rate of 6.375% per annum and is payable in cash semi-

annually on March 15 and September 15 of each year, commencing on September 15, 2017. The 2025 Notes will mature on March 15, 2025.
Prior to March 15, 2020, we may redeem the 2025 Notes, in whole or in part, at any time at a price equal the principal amount of the 2025 Notes redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the redemption date and a “make-whole premium.” Additionally, from time to time before March 15, 2020, we may choose to redeem up to 35% of the original principal amount of the 2025 Notes at a redemption price equal to 106.375% of the face amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the redemption date, with the net cash proceeds that we raise in one or more equity offerings. On or after March 15, 2020, we may redeem the 2025 Notes, in whole or in part, at the following redemption prices (expressed as a percentage of principal amount), plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the redemption date if redeemed during the twelve month period beginning on March 15 of the years indicated below:
Year | Percentage | |
2020 | 103.188% | |
2021 | 101.594% | |
2022 and thereafter | 100.000% |
Upon the occurrence of a change of control triggering event, as defined in the Indenture, each holder of the Notes will have the right to require the Company to repurchase some or all of such holder’s 2025 Notes at 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the repurchase date.
The Indenture contains customary covenants restricting our ability and the ability of our restricted subsidiaries to: (i) incur additional indebtedness or issue certain preferred shares; (ii) pay dividends and make certain distributions, investments and other restricted payments; (iii) create certain liens; (iv) sell assets; (v) enter into transactions with affiliates; (vi) enter into sale and lease-back transactions; (vii) merge, consolidate, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of our assets; and (viii) designate our subsidiaries as unrestricted subsidiaries under the Indenture. These covenants are subject to a number of important limitations and exceptions, including certain provisions permitting us, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, to transfer assets to certain of our unrestricted subsidiaries.
The Indenture also contains customary events of default. Upon an event of default under the Indenture, the Trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the 2025 Notes then outstanding may declare all amounts owing under the 2025 Notes to be due and payable.
For the three months ended March 31, 2017, we incurred $1.0 million of interest expense related to the 2025 Notes, including amortization of debt issuance costs and discount.
Registration rights agreement
In connection with the closing of the offering of the 2025 Notes, on March 15, 2017, the Company and the Guarantors entered into a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”). Under the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company and the Guarantors have agreed to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission so that holders of the 2025 Notes can exchange the 2025 Notes and the related guarantees for registered notes and guarantees that have substantially identical terms as the 2025 Notes and related guarantees within 365 days after the original issuance of the 2025 Notes. In certain circumstances, the Company and the Guarantors may be required to file a shelf registration statement to cover resales of the 2025 Notes. We are required to pay additional interest on the 2025 Notes if we fail to comply with our obligations to register the 2025 Notes and related guarantees within the specified time periods.
Corporate revolving credit facility
At March 31, 2017, we had $90.0 million of outstanding cash borrowings on our $1.0 billion revolving credit facility, of which $20.0 million incurred interest at the Alternate Base Rate ("ABR") and $70.0 million incurred interest at the Eurodollar rate. At March 31, 2017, the ABR rate in effect was 5.25% and the Eurodollar rate in effect was 3.23%. The facility matures on March 15, 2021.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
7. | LONG-TERM DEBT, Continued |
The corporate revolving credit facility is guaranteed by all of SemGroup’s material domestic subsidiaries and secured by a lien on substantially all of the property and assets of SemGroup and the other loan parties, subject to customary exceptions.
At March 31, 2017, we had outstanding letters of credit under the facility of $35.4 million, for which the rate in effect was 2.25%, and outstanding secured bi-lateral letters of credit of $54.0 million, for which the rate in effect was 1.75%. Secured bi-lateral letters of credit are external to the facility and do not reduce availability for borrowing on the credit facility.
We incurred interest expense related to the corporate revolving credit facility of $2.3 million and $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, including letters of credit and amortization of debt issuance costs.
SemMexico revolving credit facility
At March 31, 2017, SemMexico had a $70 million Mexican pesos (U.S. $3.7 million at the March 31, 2017 exchange rate) revolving credit facility, which matures in May 2018. There were no outstanding borrowings on the facility at March 31, 2017. Borrowings are unsecured and bear interest at the bank prime rate in Mexico plus 1.50%.
At March 31, 2017, SemMexico had an outstanding letter of credit of $292.8 million Mexican pesos (U.S. $15.6 million at the March 31, 2017 exchange rate). The letter of credit was issued for a fee of 0.28%.
Capitalized interest
During the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, we capitalized interest of $5.6 million and $2.2 million, respectively. As described in Note 1, capitalized interest for the prior year has been recast.
Fair value
We estimate the fair value of the 2022 Notes, the 2023 Notes and the 2025 Notes to be $395 million, $344 million and $321 million, respectively, at March 31, 2017, based on unadjusted, transacted market prices near the measurement date, which are categorized as Level 2 measurements.
8. | COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES |
Environmental
We may, from time to time, experience leaks of petroleum products from our facilities and, as a result of which, we may incur remediation obligations or property damage claims. In addition, we are subject to numerous environmental regulations. Failure to comply with these regulations could result in the assessment of fines or penalties by regulatory authorities.
The Kansas Department of Health and Environment (the "KDHE") initiated discussions during our bankruptcy proceeding regarding six of our sites in Kansas (five owned by Crude Transportation and one owned by SemGas) that KDHE believed, based on their historical use, may have had soil or groundwater contamination in excess of state standards. KDHE sought our agreement to undertake assessments of these sites to determine whether they are contaminated. We reached an agreement with KDHE on this matter and entered into a Consent Agreement and Final Order with KDHE to conduct environmental assessments on the sites and to pay KDHE’s costs associated with their oversight of this matter. We have conducted Phase II investigations at all sites. Four sites are in various stages of follow up investigation, remediation, monitoring, or closure under KDHE oversight. The environmental work at these sites is being completed under consent orders between Rose Rock Midstream Crude, L.P. and the KDHE. Two of the remaining sites have limited impacts to shallow soil and groundwater and the groundwater is currently being monitored on a semi-annual basis until such time that closure can be granted by the KDHE. No active remediation is anticipated for these two sites. The final two sites have required additional investigation and soil and groundwater remediation may be necessary to achieve KDHE closure. We do not anticipate any penalties or fines for these historical sites.
We received a Notice of Probable Violation and Civil Penalty dated March 29, 2016, from the U.S. Department of Transportation (the “Notice”) for alleged violations of pipeline operation and maintenance regulations related to a 2014 crude oil release that occurred on our Blackwell to See pipeline segment located in Oklahoma. This pipeline segment was displaced with nitrogen and abandoned in March 2016 when we initiated service on our new pipeline segment that
Page 20

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
8. | COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES, Continued |
transports Kansas crude volumes to our Cushing, Oklahoma terminal. The Notice proposed a penalty of $600,200, which we paid in March 2017, and the matter has been concluded.
Other matters
We are party to various other claims, legal actions, and complaints arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of our management, the ultimate resolution of these claims, legal actions and complaints, after consideration of amounts accrued, insurance coverage and other arrangements, will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, the outcome of such matters is inherently uncertain, and estimates of our consolidated liabilities may change materially as circumstances develop.
Asset retirement obligations
We will be required to incur significant removal and restoration costs when we retire our natural gas gathering and processing facilities in Canada. At March 31, 2017, we have an asset retirement obligation liability of $19.3 million, which is included within other noncurrent liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. This amount was calculated using the $123.1 million cost we estimate we would incur to retire these facilities, discounted based on our risk-adjusted cost of borrowing and the estimated timing of remediation.
The calculation of the liability for an asset retirement obligation requires the use of significant estimates, including those related to the length of time before the assets will be retired, cost inflation over the assumed life of the assets, actual remediation activities to be required, and the rate at which such obligations should be discounted. Future changes in these estimates could result in material changes in the value of the recorded liability. In addition, future changes in laws or regulations could require us to record additional asset retirement obligations.
Our other segments may also be subject to removal and restoration costs upon retirement of their facilities. However, we are unable to predict when, or if, our pipelines, storage tanks and other facilities would become completely obsolete and require decommissioning. Accordingly, we have not recorded a liability or corresponding asset, as both the amount and timing of such potential future costs are indeterminable.
Purchase and sale commitments
We routinely enter into agreements to purchase and sell petroleum products at specified future dates. We account for derivatives at fair value with the exception of commitments which have been designated as normal purchases and sales for which we do not record assets or liabilities related to these agreements until the product is purchased or sold. At March 31, 2017, such commitments included the following (in thousands):
Volume (Barrels) | Value | |||||
Fixed price purchases | 4,158 | $ | 204,181 | |||
Fixed price sales | 5,073 | $ | 253,795 | |||
Floating price purchases | 13,304 | $ | 655,885 | |||
Floating price sales | 18,365 | $ | 855,639 |
Certain of the commitments shown in the table above relate to agreements to purchase product from a counterparty and to sell a similar amount of product (in a different location) to the same counterparty. Many of the commitments shown in the table above are cancellable by either party, as long as notice is given within the time frame specified in the agreement (generally 30 to 120 days).
Our SemGas segment has a take-or-pay contractual obligation related to the fractionation of natural gas liquids through June 2023. The approximate amount of future obligation is as follows (in thousands):

SemGas also enters into contracts under which we are responsible for marketing the majority of the gas and natural gas liquids produced by the counterparties to the agreements. The majority of SemGas’ revenues were generated from such contracts.
Our Crude Supply and Logistics segment has a take-or-pay obligation with our equity method investee, White Cliffs, for approximately 5,000 barrels per day of space on White Cliffs' pipeline. The agreement became effective in October 2015 and has a term of five years. Annual payments to White Cliffs under the agreement are expected to be $9.4 million. In addition, we have a throughput commitment for 5,000 barrels per day on a third-party pipeline currently under construction. The agreement will become effective when the pipeline is completed and the agreement will have a seven year term from that date. Annual payments are expected to be $11.9 million.
Capital expenditures
We expect to spend approximately $180 million to complete construction of the Maurepas Pipeline in 2017. We expect to spend approximately $80 million and $155 million in 2017 and 2018, respectively, related to construction of the Wapiti Sour Gas Plant.

There were no significant items reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive loss to net income for the three months ended March 31, 2017.
Equity issuances
During the three months ended March 31, 2017, 16,385 shares under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan were issued and 80,329 shares related to our equity based compensation awards vested.
Equity-based compensation
At March 31, 2017, there were 1,126,338 unvested shares that have been granted under our director and employee compensation programs. The par value of these shares is not reflected in common stock on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, as these shares have not yet vested. For certain of the awards, the number of shares that will vest is contingent upon our achievement of certain specified targets. If we meet the specified maximum targets, approximately 512,000 additional shares could vest.
The holders of certain restricted stock awards are entitled to equivalent dividends (“UDs”) to be received upon vesting of the related restricted stock awards and will be settled in cash. At March 31, 2017, the value of the UDs to be settled in cash related to unvested restricted stock awards was approximately $1.2 million.
During the three months ended March 31, 2017, we granted 334,011 restricted stock awards with a weighted average grant date fair value of $38.07 per award.
Dividends
The following table sets forth the quarterly dividends per share declared and/or paid to shareholders for the periods indicated:

10. | EARNINGS PER SHARE |
Earnings per share is calculated based on income from continuing and discontinued operations less any income attributable to noncontrolling interests. Income attributable to noncontrolling interests represented third-party limited partner unitholders' interests in the earnings of our consolidated subsidiary, Rose Rock, prior to completion of our purchase of the noncontrolling interests in the third quarter of 2016 (the "Merger"). Rose Rock allocated net income to its limited partners based on the distributions pertaining to the current period's available cash as defined by Rose Rock's partnership agreement. After adjusting for the appropriate period's distributions, the remaining undistributed earnings or excess distributions over earnings, if any, were allocated to Rose Rock's general partner, limited partners and
Page 23
SEMGROUP CORPORATION
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
10. | EARNINGS PER SHARE, Continued |
participating securities in accordance with the contractual terms of Rose Rock's partnership agreement and as further prescribed under the two-class method. Incentive distribution rights did not participate in undistributed earnings. Subsequent to the Merger, there is no longer a noncontrolling interest.
Basic earnings per share is calculated based on the weighted average shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share includes the dilutive effect of unvested equity compensation awards.
The following summarizes the calculation of basic earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 (in thousands, except per share amounts):

We paid cash income taxes, net of refunds of $1.2 million and $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.
We incurred liabilities for construction work in process that had not been paid of $13.9 million and $7.3 million as of March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Such amounts are not included in capital expenditures on the consolidated statements of cash flows.
12. | RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS |
Transactions with NGL Energy and its subsidiaries primarily relate to marketing, leased storage and transportation services of crude oil, including buy/sell transactions. Transactions with White Cliffs primarily relate to leased storage, purchases and sales of crude oil, transportation fees for shipments on the White Cliffs Pipeline, and management fees. Transactions with Glass Mountain primarily relate to transportation fees for shipments on the Glass Mountain Pipeline, fees for support and administrative services associated with pipeline operations and purchases of crude oil.
In accordance with ASC 845-10-15, the buy/sell transactions with NGL Energy and White Cliffs were reported as revenue on a net basis in our condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) because the purchases of inventory and subsequent sales of the inventory were with the same counterparty and entered into in contemplation of one another.
During the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, we generated the following transactions with related parties (in thousands):

13. | CONDENSED CONSOLIDATING GUARANTOR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
Our senior unsecured notes are guaranteed by certain of our subsidiaries as follows: Rose Rock Finance Corporation, Rose Rock Midstream Operating, LLC, Rose Rock Midstream Energy GP, LLC, Rose Rock Midstream Crude, L.P., Rose Rock Midstream Field Services, LLC, SemGas, L.P., SemMaterials, L.P., SemGroup Europe Holding, L.L.C., SemOperating G.P., L.L.C., SemMexico, L.L.C., SemDevelopment, L.L.C., Mid-America Midstream Gas Services, L.L.C., SemCrude Pipeline, L.L.C., Wattenberg Holding, LLC and Glass Mountain Holding, LLC (collectively, the "Guarantors").
Each of the Guarantors is 100% owned by SemGroup Corporation (the "Parent"). Such guarantees of the Notes are full and unconditional and constitute the joint and several obligations of the Guarantors. There are no significant restrictions upon the ability of the Parent or any of the Guarantors to obtain funds from its respective subsidiaries by dividend or loan. None of the assets of the Guarantors represent restricted net assets pursuant to Rule 4-08(e)(3) of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act.
Subsequent to the Merger as described in Note 10, SemGroup assumed the obligations of Rose Rock under Rose Rock's senior unsecured notes. Supplemental indentures were entered into with respect to the previously existing SemGroup senior unsecured notes and the senior unsecured notes assumed from Rose Rock to include the Guarantors as listed above to the extent the entity was not already a Guarantor. Prior period comparative information has been recast to reflect the addition of Rose Rock subsidiaries as Guarantors.
Unaudited condensed consolidating financial statements for the Parent, the Guarantors and non-guarantors as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, and for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, are presented on an equity method basis in the tables below (in thousands).
Intercompany receivable and payable balances, including notes receivable and payable, are capital transactions primarily to facilitate the capital needs of our subsidiaries. As such, subsidiary intercompany balances have been reported as a reduction to equity on the condensed consolidating Guarantor balance sheets. The Parent's net intercompany balance,

13. | CONDENSED CONSOLIDATING GUARANTOR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, Continued |
including note receivable, and investments in subsidiaries have been reported in equity method investments on the condensed consolidating Guarantor balance sheets. Intercompany transactions, such as daily cash management activities, have been reported as financing activities within the condensed consolidating Guarantor statements of cash flows. These balances are eliminated through consolidating adjustments below.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements and the notes thereto included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, filed with the SEC.
Overview of Business
Our business is to provide gathering, transportation, storage, distribution, marketing and other midstream services primarily to producers, refiners of petroleum products and other market participants located in the Midwest and Rocky Mountain regions of the United States of America (the "U.S.") and Canada. We, or our significant equity method investees, have an asset base consisting of pipelines, gathering systems, storage facilities, terminals, processing plants and other distribution assets located between North American production and supply areas, including the Gulf Coast, Midwest, Rocky Mountain and Western Canadian regions. We also maintain and operate storage, terminal and marine facilities at Milford Haven in the United Kingdom (the "U.K.") that enable customers to supply petroleum products to markets in the Atlantic Basin. We also operate a network of liquid asphalt cement terminals throughout Mexico. Our operations are conducted directly and indirectly through our primary business segments – Crude Transportation, Crude Facilities, Crude Supply and Logistics, SemGas®, SemCAMS, SemLogistics and SemMexico.
Our Assets
At March 31, 2017, our segments owned the following:
• | Crude Transportation operates crude oil pipelines and truck transportation businesses in the U.S. Crude Transportation’s assets include: |
• | a 460-mile crude oil gathering and transportation pipeline system with over 670,000 barrels of associated storage capacity in Kansas and northern Oklahoma that is connected to several third-party pipelines and refineries; |
• | the Wattenberg Oil Trunkline ("WOT"), a 75-mile, 12-inch diameter crude oil gathering pipeline system that transports crude oil from production facilities in the DJ Basin to the pipeline owned by White Cliffs Pipeline, L.L.C. ("White Cliffs"). The WOT also has 360,000 barrels of operational storage; |
• | a crude oil trucking fleet of over 225 transport trucks and 235 trailers; |
• | Maurepas Pipeline, a project underway to build three pipelines to service refineries in the Gulf Coast region (the "Maurepas Pipeline"), which is expected to be completed in late second quarter 2017; |
• | a 51% ownership interest in White Cliffs, which owns a 527-mile pipeline, consisting of two 12-inch common carrier, crude oil pipelines, that transports crude oil from Platteville, Colorado to Cushing, Oklahoma (the "White Cliffs Pipeline") that we operate; and |
• | a 50% ownership interest in Glass Mountain Pipeline, LLC ("Glass Mountain"), which owns a 215-mile crude oil pipeline in western and north central Oklahoma (the "Glass Mountain Pipeline") that we operate. |
• | Crude Facilities operates crude oil storage and terminal businesses in the U.S. Crude Facilities assets include: |
• | approximately 7.6 million barrels of crude oil storage capacity in Cushing, Oklahoma, of which 6.25 million barrels are leased to customers and 1.35 million barrels are used for crude oil operations and marketing activities; and |
• | a 30-lane crude oil truck unloading facility with 350,000 barrels of associated storage capacity in Platteville, Colorado which connects to the origination point of the White Cliffs Pipeline. |
• | Crude Supply and Logistics operates a crude oil marketing business which utilizes our Crude Transportation and Crude Facilities assets for marketing purposes. Additionally, Crude Supply and Logistics' assets include approximately 61,800 barrels of crude oil storage capacity in Trenton and Stanley, North Dakota. |
• | SemGas, which provides natural gas gathering and processing services in the U.S. SemGas owns and operates gathering systems and four processing plants with 595 million cubic feet per day of capacity. |
• | SemCAMS, which provides natural gas gathering and processing services in Alberta, Canada. SemCAMS owns working interests in, and operates, four natural gas processing plants with a combined operating capacity of 695 million cubic feet per day. |
Page 33
• | SemLogistics, which provides refined product and crude oil storage services in the U.K. SemLogistics owns a facility in Wales that has multi-product storage capacity of approximately 8.7 million barrels. |
• | SemMexico, which purchases, produces, stores, and distributes liquid asphalt cement products in Mexico. SemMexico operates an in-country network of 13 asphalt cement terminals and modification facilities and two marine terminals. |
Additionally, we hold an 11.78% ownership interest in the general partner of NGL Energy Partners LP ("NGL Energy") (NYSE: NGL) which is reported within Corporate and Other.
Recent Developments
On May 3, 2017, we announced plans to build a 50-mile, 200 million cubic feet per day natural gas pipeline to connect our northern Oklahoma processing facilities to the STACK play in central Oklahoma (the "Canton Pipeline"). The Canton Pipeline is backed by firm commitments from an investment grade counterparty. With additional compression, the pipeline could be expanded up to 400 million cubic feet per day to serve other producers in the area. We expect related capital expenditures of $60 million and expect the pipeline to be in-service by year-end 2017.
Also in the STACK play, our equity method investee, Glass Mountain, is constructing a 44-mile pipeline extension to deliver STACK crude to the Cushing storage complex with access to Mid-Continent and Gulf Coast refineries. Our contributions related to the project are expected to be $30 million. The Glass Mountain Pipeline extension is expected to be in service in the fourth quarter of 2017.

Revenue and Expenses
Revenue and expenses are analyzed by operating segment below.
General and administrative expense
General and administrative expenses of each corporate department are allocated to the segments based on criteria such as actual usage, headcount and estimates of effort or benefit. The method for allocating cost is based on the type of service being provided. For example, internal audit costs are based on an estimate of effort attributable to a segment. In contrast, accounting department costs are allocated based on the number of transactions processed for a given segment compared to the total number processed.
Interest expense
Interest expense decreased in the three months ended March 31, 2017, to $13.9 million from $17.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2016. This decrease is primarily due to $5.6 million of capitalized interest for the three months ended March 31, 2017, as compared to $2.2 million of capitalized interest for the three months ended March 31, 2016.
Page 35
Loss on early extinguishment of debt
During the three months ended March 31, 2017, we purchased $290 million of our outstanding $300 million senior unsecured notes due 2021 (the "2021 Notes") through a tender offer. The price included a premium and interest to the purchase date. A notice of redemption was issued for the remaining $10 million of 2021 Notes which were not redeemed through the tender offer pursuant to the redemption and satisfaction and discharge provisions of the indenture governing the 2021 Notes. The redemption price includes a redemption premium and interest to the redemption date. As a result, we recognized a loss of $19.9 million on the early extinguishment of the 2021 Notes, which included premiums of $15.9 million and the write off of $3.6 million of associated unamortized debt issuance costs.
Loss on sale or impairment of equity method investment
During the three months ended March 31, 2016, we recorded a $39.8 million impairment to our equity method investment in NGL Energy based on a fair value of the common units being lower than the book value and NGL Energy's announced decreases in distributions and guidance.
Income tax expense (benefit)
We reported an income tax expense of $94.9 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2017, compared to a benefit of $21.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The effective tax rate was (1)% and 81% for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The rate for the three months ended March 31, 2017 is impacted by a discrete tax expense of $1.4 million related to the vesting of restricted stock during the period. The rate for the three months ended March 31, 2016 is impacted by a non-controlling interest in Rose Rock Midstream, L.P. for which taxes are not provided. Significant items that impacted the effective tax rate for each period, as compared to the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35%, include earnings in foreign jurisdictions taxed at lower rates and foreign earnings taxed in foreign jurisdictions as well as in the U.S., since they are disregarded entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes. These combined factors, and the magnitude of the permanent items impacting the tax rate relative to income from continuing operations before income taxes result in rates that are not comparable between the periods.

Revenue
Pipeline transportation revenue decreased to $6.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2017, from $8.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2016. The decrease included a $1.5 million reduction in intersegment activity and a decrease of $0.9 million related to the Tampa pipeline that was sold early in three months ended March 31, 2017. These decreases were partially offset with a $0.5 million increase on the WOT.
Truck transportation revenue decreased to $14.3 million in three months ended March 31, 2017, compared to $16.3
Page 36
million for the same period in 2016 as a result of lower volumes.
Operating expense
Operating expense decreased to $16.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017, compared to $18.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The decrease was the result of lower compensation, insurance and taxes and field expenses.
General and administrative expense
General and administrative expense increased to $2.7 million in the three months ended March 31, 2017, from $1.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2016. The increase is primarily a result of higher overhead allocations.
Loss on disposal of long-lived assets, net
Crude Transportation recorded a loss on disposal of long-lived assets of $2.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2017, compared to a loss of $0.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2016. The loss was a result of a $4.8 million write down of right-of-ways, partially offset with a gain from the Tampa pipeline sale. The write down of right-of-ways included $4.5 million related to the correction of immaterial prior period errors.
Earnings from equity method investments
Crude Transportation’s earnings from equity method investments decreased in the three months ended March 31, 2017, to $17.1 million from $20.8 million in the three months ended March 31, 2016, due to a reduction in volume.

Revenue
Revenue decreased slightly to $12.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2017, from $12.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The decrease is due to a reduction in storage revenue of $0.4 million, as the average capacity used internally for crude oil operations and marketing activities increased to 1.4 million barrels from 1.3 million barrels, and a combined reduction in unloading, pump-over and other of $0.4 million.
Operating expense
Operating expense increased slightly to $2.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2017, from $2.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, as a result of increased field expenses, outside services and other.
General and administrative expense
General and administrative expense decreased to $0.6 million for three months ended March 31, 2017, from $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, as a result of a reduction in overhead allocations.

Gross product revenue increased in the three months ended March 31, 2017, to $1.1 billion from $632.7 million in the three months ended March 31, 2016. The increase was primarily due to an increase in the volume sold to 21.7 million barrels at an average sales price of $51 per barrel in the three months ended March 31, 2017, compared to volume sold of 19.6 million barrels at an average sales price of $32 per barrel in the three months ended March 31, 2016. Current year volume includes approximately 3.5 million barrels moved at negligible margins to overcome volume constraints on third-party pipelines.
Gross product revenue was reduced by $813.1 million and $460.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 845-10-15, "Nonmonetary Transactions". ASC 845-10-15 requires that certain transactions -- those where inventory is purchased from a customer then resold to the same customer -- to be presented in the income statement on a net basis, resulting in a reduction of revenue and costs of products sold by the same amount.
Cost of products sold
Costs of products sold increased in the three months ended March 31, 2017, to $298.5 million (including $3.5 million of intersegment charges) from $161.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2016 (including $5.2 million of intersegment charges). Costs of products sold reflects reductions of $813.1 million and $460.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, in accordance with ASC 845-10-15. There was an increase in the barrels sold, as described above, combined with an increase in the average per barrel cost of crude oil to $51 in the three months ended March 31, 2017, from $32 in the three months ended March 31, 2016.
Operating expense
Operating expense increased to $1.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2017, from $0.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The increase is primarily due to higher employment costs.
General and administrative expense
General and administrative expense increased to $1.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2017, from $0.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2016. This increase is primarily due to additional overhead allocation.

Revenue
Revenue increased in the three months ended March 31, 2017, to $61.7 million from $46.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2016. The increase is primarily due to higher average natural gas NYMEX price of $3.32/MMbtu in the three months ended March 31, 2017, versus $2.09/MMbtu for the same period in 2016, higher average NGL basket price of $0.85/gallon in the three months ended March 31, 2017, versus $0.51/gallon for the same period in 2016 and increased fees ($14 million in the three months ended March 31, 2017, versus $13 million for the same period in 2016). The increase was offset, in part, by lower volume (26,658 MMcf in the three months ended March 31, 2017, compared to 31,938 MMcf for the same period in 2016). Volume decreases are primarily due to reduced drilling coupled with natural well production declines.
Costs of products sold
Costs of products sold increased in the three months ended March 31, 2017, to $36.1 million from $24.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2016. The increase is attributable to higher prices offset, in part, by lower volume processed in northern Oklahoma.
Loss on disposal or impairment, net
Net loss on disposal or impairment decreased to $21.0 thousand in the three months ended March 31, 2017, from $13.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2016. This decrease is primarily due to a $13.1 million goodwill impairment recorded at March 31, 2016.

Revenue
Revenue in the three months ended March 31, 2017, increased to $36.8 million from $30.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016. This increase is primarily due to higher operating cost recoveries, higher gathering and processing revenue, changes in foreign currency exchange rates between periods and other revenue of $2.3 million, $1.9 million, $1.2 million and $0.5 million, respectively.
Operating expense
Operating expense increased in the three months ended March 31, 2017, to $19.9 million from $17.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016. This increase is primarily due to higher compensation costs, higher costs for power, materials and contract labor and changes in foreign currency exchange rates between periods. These increases were offset, in part, by lower greenhouse gas credit purchases.
General and administrative expense
General and administrative expense increased to $4.8 million in the three months ended March 31, 2017, from $3.8 million in three months ended March 31, 2016, due primarily to higher compensation costs.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Sources and Uses of Cash
Our principal sources of short-term liquidity are cash generated from our operations and borrowings under our revolving credit facility. The consolidated cash balance on March 31, 2017, was $65.9 million. Of this amount, $45.9 million was held in Canada and may be subject to tax if transferred to the U.S. Potential sources of long-term liquidity include issuances of debt securities and equity securities and the sale of assets. Our primary cash requirements currently are operating expenses, capital expenditures and our quarterly dividends. In general, we expect to fund:
• | operating expenses, maintenance capital expenditures and cash dividends through existing cash and cash from operating activities; |
• | expansion capital expenditures and any working capital deficits through cash on hand, borrowings under our credit facility and the issuance of debt securities and equity securities; |
• | acquisitions through cash on hand, borrowings under our credit facility and the issuance of debt securities and equity securities; and |
• | debt principal payments through cash from operating activities and refinancing when the credit facility becomes due. |
Our ability to meet our financing requirements and fund our planned capital expenditures will depend on our future operating performance and distributions from our equity investments, which will be affected by prevailing economic conditions in our industry. In addition, we are subject to conditions in the debt and equity markets for any issuances of debt securities and equity securities. There can be no assurance we will be able or willing to access the public or private markets in the future. If we would be unable or unwilling to access those markets, we could be required to restrict future expansion capital expenditures and potential future acquisitions.
We believe our cash from operations and our remaining borrowing capacity allow us to manage our day-to-day cash requirements, distribute our quarterly dividends and meet our capital expenditures commitments for the coming year.

Adjustments to net loss for non-cash expenses, net decreased $11.7 million to $51.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017, from $62.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016. This change is primarily a result of:
• | $22.0 million decrease in deferred tax benefit; |
• | $19.9 million increase related to a loss on early extinguishment of $300 million of senior unsecured notes; |
• | $6.0 million reduction in earnings from equity method investments; |
• | $0.5 million increase due to inventory valuation adjustments; and |
• | $0.5 million increase in depreciation and amortization expense. |
These increases to the adjustments to net income for non-cash expenses were offset by decreases due to:
• | $39.8 million from prior year losses on the sale or impairment of equity method investment which did not recur in the current year; |
• | $10.9 million decrease in net losses on disposal or impairments due to prior year goodwill impairment of our SemGas segment; |
• | $8.4 million in distributions from equity investments due to our prior year disposal of our limited partner ownership in NGL Energy and lower distributions from White Cliffs; and |
• | $1.5 million in currency exchange losses in the prior year, which did not recur in the current year. |
All other adjustments to net income for non-cash expenses, net for the three months ended March 31, 2017 remained relatively comparable to the three months ended March 31, 2016.
Changes in operating assets and liabilities for the three months ended March 31, 2017 generated a net decrease in operating cash flows of $12.9 million. The decrease to operating cash flow due to the change in operating assets and liabilities was primarily a result of increases of $55.2 million in accounts receivable and $40.5 million in accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and a $2.4 million increase in inventories and decreases in receivables from affiliates of $12.5 million and payables to affiliates of $9.4 million, offset by an increase in non-current liabilities of $1.0 million. Changes in receivables, inventory, payables and accrued liabilities are primarily due to our segments' operating activities and are subject to the timing of purchases and sales and fluctuations in commodity pricing.
Changes in operating assets and liabilities for the three months ended March 31, 2016 generated a net decrease in operating cash flows of $9.1 million. The decrease to operating cash flow due to the change in operating assets and liabilities was primarily a result of decreases of $55.6 million in accounts payable and accrued liabilities, $1.6 million in payables to affiliates. These cash outflows were partially offset by cash inflows due to decreases of $40.5 million in accounts receivable, $4.8 million in inventories, $2.2 million in receivables from affiliates and $1.6 million in other current assets. Changes in receivables, inventory, payables and accrued liabilities are primarily due to our segments' operating activities and are subject to the timing of purchases and sales and fluctuations in commodity pricing.
Investing Activities
For the three months ended March 31, 2017, we had net cash outflows of $74.8 million from investing activities, due primarily to $92.2 million of capital expenditures and $2.5 million of contributions to equity method investments, offset by investing cash inflows of $15.5 million in proceeds from the sale of long-lived assets and $4.4 million of distributions in excess of equity in earnings of affiliates. Capital expenditures primarily related to the Maurepas Pipeline. Distributions in excess of equity in earnings of affiliates represent cash distributions from White Cliffs and Glass Mountain in excess of our cumulative equity in earnings and are accounted for as a return of investment.
For the three months ended March 31, 2016, we had net cash outflows of $70.1 million from investing activities, due primarily to $74.9 million of capital expenditures and $1.4 million of contributions to equity method investments, offset by $6.1 million of distributions in excess of equity in earnings of affiliates. Capital expenditures primarily related to the Maurepas Pipeline, crude oil pipeline projects, SemGas' Northern Oklahoma expansion projects and SemCAMS' Wapiti expansion. Distributions in excess of equity in earnings of affiliates represent cash distributions from White Cliffs and Glass Mountain in excess of our cumulative equity in earnings and are accounted for as a return of investment.

Financing Activities
For the three months ended March 31, 2017, we had net cash inflows of $37.2 million from financing activities, which related to borrowings on credit facilities and the issuance of senior unsecured notes of $437.0 million, offset by principal payments on credit facilities and other obligations of $348.3 million, dividends paid of $29.8 million, debt extinguishment costs of $16.3 million, debt issuance costs of $4.6 million and $1.0 million to repurchase common stock for payment of statutory taxes due on equity-based compensation. Net borrowings were used primarily to extinguish senior unsecured notes and for capital expenditures. Debt issuance costs related to the issuance of senior unsecured notes.
For the three months ended March 31, 2016, we had net cash inflows of $32.7 million from financing activities, which related to borrowings on long-term debt of $174.0 million, partially offset by principal payments of $110.0 million, dividends paid of $19.9 million, distributions to non-controlling interests of $10.8 million and $0.8 million to repurchase common stock for payment of statutory taxes due on equity-based compensation. Net borrowings were used primarily for capital expenditures.
Long-term Debt
Senior Unsecured Notes
At March 31, 2017, we had outstanding $400 million of 5.625% senior unsecured notes due 2022, $350 million of 5.625% senior unsecured notes due 2023 and $325 million of 6.375% senior unsecured notes due 2025.
SemGroup Revolving Credit Facility
At March 31, 2017, we had $90.0 million of cash borrowings outstanding under our $1.0 billion revolving credit facility. We had $35.4 million in outstanding letters of credit on that date. The maximum letter of credit capacity under this facility is $250 million. The facility can be increased up to $300 million. The credit agreement expires on March 15, 2021.
At March 31, 2017, we had available borrowing capacity of $874.6 million under this facility.
On April 4, 2017, we amended the credit agreement to restate the pricing grid. The applicable margin for borrowings under the facility were amended to the following:
Leverage Ratio | ABR Loans | Eurodollar Loans | ||
Category 1: Greater than 4.50 to 1.00 | 1.75 | % | 2.75 | % |
Category 2: Less than or equal to 4.50 to 1.00 but greater than 4.00 to 1.00 | 1.50 | % | 2.50 | % |
Category 3: Less than or equal to 4.00 to 1.00 but greater than 3.50 to 1.00 | 1.25 | % | 2.25 | % |
Category 4: Less than or equal to 3.50 to 1.00 but greater than 3.00 to 1.00 | 1.00 | % | 2.00 | % |
Category 5: Less than or equal to 3.00 to 1.00 | 0.75 | % | 1.75 | % |
SemMexico Credit Facilities
At March 31, 2017, SemMexico had no amounts outstanding on its $70 million Mexican pesos (U.S. $3.7 million at the March 31, 2017 exchange rate) credit facility which matures in May 2018. At March 31, 2017, SemMexico had an outstanding letter of credit of $292.8 million Mexican pesos (U.S. $15.6 million at the March 31, 2017 exchange rate).
Shelf Registration Statement
We have access to a universal shelf registration statement which provides us the ability to offer and sell an unlimited amount of debt and equity securities, subject to market conditions and our capital needs. This shelf registration statement expires in March 2019.
We have also established an "at the market" offering program under this shelf registration statement, which provides for the offer and sale, from time to time, of common shares having an aggregate offering price of up to $300 million. We are able to make sales over a period of time and from time to time in transactions at prices which are prevailing market prices at the time of sale, prices related to market prices or at negotiated prices. Such sales may be made pursuant to an Equity Distribution Agreement between us and certain agents who may act as sales agents or purchase for their own accounts as principals. To date, there have been no such sales.

Capital Requirements
The midstream energy business can be capital intensive, requiring significant investment for the maintenance of existing assets or acquisition or development of new systems and facilities. We categorize our capital expenditures as either:
• | expansion capital expenditures, which are cash expenditures incurred for acquisitions or capital improvements that we expect will increase our operating income or operating capacity over the long-term; or |
• | maintenance capital expenditures, which are cash expenditures (including expenditures for the addition or improvement to, or the replacement of, our capital assets or for the acquisition of existing, or the construction or development of new, capital assets) made to maintain our long-term operating income or operating capacity. |
Projected capital expenditures for 2017 are estimated at $440 million in expansion projects, including capital contributions to affiliates for funding growth projects and acquisitions, and $60 million in maintenance projects. These estimates may change as future events unfold. See "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements." During the three months ended March 31, 2017, we spent $92.2 million (cash basis) on capital projects and $2.5 million in capital contributions to equity method investees primarily for funding growth projects.
In addition to our budgeted capital program, we anticipate that we will continue to make significant expansion capital expenditures in the future. Consequently, our ability to develop and maintain sources of funds to meet our capital requirements is critical to our ability to meet our growth objectives. We expect that our future expansion capital expenditures will be funded by cash from operations, borrowings under our credit facility and the issuance of debt and equity securities.

Credit Risk
We are subject to risks of loss resulting from nonpayment or nonperformance by our customers. We examine the creditworthiness of third-party customers to whom we extend credit and manage our exposure to credit risk through credit analysis, credit approval, credit limits and monitoring procedures, and for certain transactions, we may request letters of credit, prepayments or guarantees.
Customer Concentration
Shell Trading (US) Company, a customer of our Crude Supply and Logistics segment, accounted for more than 10% of our consolidated revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2017, at approximately 27%. Although we have contracts with customers of varying durations, if one or more of our major customers were to default on their contract, or if we were unable to renew our contract with one or more of these customers on favorable terms, we might not be able to replace any of these customers in a timely fashion, on favorable terms or at all. In any of these situations, our revenues and our ability to pay cash dividends to our stockholders may be adversely affected. We expect our exposure to risk of non-payment or non-performance to continue as long as we remain substantially dependent on a relatively small number of customers for a substantial portion of our revenues.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements as defined by Item 303 of Regulation S-K.

Item 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk |
This discussion on market risks represents an estimate of possible changes in future earnings that would occur assuming hypothetical future movements in commodity prices, interest rates and currency exchange rates. Our views on market risk are not necessarily indicative of actual results that may occur, and do not represent the maximum possible gains and losses that may occur since actual gains and losses will differ from those estimated based on actual fluctuations in commodity prices, interest rates, currency exchange rates and the timing of transactions.
We are exposed to various market risks, including changes in (i) petroleum prices, particularly crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids, (ii) interest rates and (iii) currency exchange rates. We may use from time-to-time various derivative instruments to manage such exposure. Our risk management policies and procedures are designed to monitor physical and financial commodity positions and the resulting outright commodity price risk as well as basis risk resulting from differences in commodity grades, purchase and sales locations and purchase and sale timing. We have a risk management function that has responsibility and authority for our Risk Governance Policies, which govern our enterprise-wide risks, including the market risks discussed in this item. Subject to our Risk Governance Policies, our finance and treasury function has responsibility and authority for managing exposure to interest rates and currency exchange rates. To manage the risks discussed above, we engage in price risk management activities.
Commodity Price Risk
The table below outlines the range of NYMEX prompt month daily settle prices for crude oil and natural gas futures, and the range of daily propane spot prices provided by an independent, third-party broker for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and March 31, 2016 and the year ended December 31, 2016.

High/Low Differential | $27.85 | $0.42 | $2.29 |
Revenue from our asset-based activities is dependent on throughput volume, tariff rates, the level of fees generated from our pipeline systems, capacity leased to third parties, capacity that we use for our own operational or marketing activities and the level of other fees generated at our terminalling and storage facilities. Profit from our marketing activities is dependent on our ability to sell petroleum products at prices in excess of our aggregate cost. Margins may be affected during transitional periods between a backwardated market (when the prices for future deliveries are lower than the current prices) and a contango market (when the prices for future deliveries are higher than the current prices). Our petroleum product marketing activities within each of our segments are generally not directly affected by the absolute level of petroleum product prices, but are affected by overall levels of supply and demand for petroleum products and relative fluctuations in market-related indices at various locations.
However, the SemGas segment has exposure to commodity price risk because of the nature of certain contracts for which our fee is based on a percentage of proceeds or index related to the prices of natural gas, natural gas liquids and condensate. Given current volumes, liquid recoveries and contract terms, we estimate the following sensitivities over the next twelve months:
Page 47
• | A 10% increase in the price of natural gas and natural gas liquids results in approximately a $2.6 million increase to gross margin. |
• | A 10% decrease in those prices would have the opposite effect. |
The above sensitivities may be impacted by changes in contract mix, change in production or other factors which are outside of our control.
Additionally, based on our open derivative contracts at March 31, 2017, an increase in the applicable market price or prices for each derivative contract would result in a decrease in our crude oil sales revenues. Likewise, a decrease in the applicable market price or prices for each derivative contract would result in an increase in our crude oil sales revenues. However, the increases or decreases in crude oil sales revenues we recognize from our open derivative contracts are substantially offset by higher or lower crude oil sales revenues when the physical sale of the product occurs. These contracts may be for the purchase or sale of crude oil or in markets different from the physical markets in which we are attempting to hedge our exposure, or may have timing differences relative to the physical markets. As a result of these factors, our hedges may not eliminate all price risks.
The notional volumes and fair value of our commodity derivatives open positions as well as the change in fair value that would be expected from a 10% market price increase or decrease is shown in the table below (in thousands):
Notional Volume (Barrels) | Fair Value | Effect of 10% Price Increase | Effect of 10% Price Decrease | Settlement Date | |||||||||||
Crude oil: | |||||||||||||||
Futures | 942 short | $ | (1,355 | ) | $ | (4,767 | ) | $ | 4,767 | May 2017 |
Margin deposits or other credit support, including letters of credit, are generally required on derivative instruments used to manage our price exposure. As commodity prices increase or decrease, the fair value of our derivative instruments changes, thereby increasing or decreasing our margin deposit or other credit support requirements. Although a component of our risk-management strategy is intended to manage the margin and other credit support requirements on our derivative instruments, volatile spot and forward commodity prices, or an expectation of increased commodity price volatility, could increase the cash needed to manage our commodity price exposure and thereby increase our liquidity requirements. This may limit amounts available to us through borrowing, decrease the volume of petroleum products we purchase and sell or limit our commodity price management activities.
Interest Rate Risk
We use variable rate debt and are exposed to market risk due to the floating interest rates on our credit facilities. Therefore, from time-to-time we may use interest rate derivatives to manage interest obligations on specific debt issuances. Our variable rate debt bears interest at LIBOR or prime, subject to certain floors, plus the applicable margin. At March 31, 2017, an increase in these base rates of 1%, above the base rate floors, would increase our interest expense by $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017.
The average interest rates presented below are based upon rates in effect at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016. The carrying value of the variable rate instruments in our credit facilities approximate fair value primarily because our rates fluctuate with prevailing market rates.
The following table summarizes our debt obligations:
Liabilities | March 31, 2017 | December 31, 2016 | |
Short-term debt - variable rate | $0.0 million | $0.0 million | |
Average interest rate | 0.00% | 0.00% | |
Long-term debt - variable rate | $90.0 million | $20.0 million | |
Average interest rate | 3.680% | 4.750% | |
Long-term debt - fixed rate | $325.0 million | $300.0 million | |
Fixed interest rate | 6.375% | 7.50% | |
Long-term debt - fixed rate | $750.0 million | $750.0 million | |
Fixed interest rate | 5.625% | 5.625% |
Page 48
Currency Exchange Risk
The cash flows relating to our U.K., Canada and Mexico operations are based on the U.S. dollar equivalent of such amounts measured in British pounds, Canadian dollars and Mexican pesos. Assets and liabilities of our U.K., Canadian and Mexican subsidiaries are translated to U.S. dollars using the applicable exchange rate as of the end of a reporting period. Revenue, expenses and cash flows are translated using the average exchange rate during the reporting period.
A 10% change in the average exchange rate during the three months ended March 31, 2017 would change operating income by $1.7 million.
Item 4. | Controls and Procedures |
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act), are effective as of March 31, 2017. This conclusion is based on an evaluation conducted under the supervision and participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer along with our management. Disclosure controls and procedures are those controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2017, that have materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
