Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) |
Note 1 - Organization and Basis of Presentation
Organization
Andeavor Logistics LP (“Andeavor Logistics” or the “Partnership”) is a fee-based, growth-oriented Delaware limited partnership formed in December 2010 by Andeavor and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Tesoro Logistics GP, LLC (“TLGP”), our general partner, to own, operate, develop and acquire logistics and related assets and businesses. Unless the context otherwise requires, references in this report to “we,” “us,” “our,” or “ours” refer to Andeavor Logistics LP, one or more of its consolidated subsidiaries, or all of them taken as a whole. Unless the context otherwise requires, references in this report to “Andeavor” refer collectively to Andeavor for all activity through September 30, 2018, or Andeavor LLC, successor-by-merger to Andeavor effective October 1, 2018 and a wholly owned subsidiary of Marathon Petroleum Corporation (“MPC” or “Marathon”), and any of Andeavor’s or Andeavor LLC’s subsidiaries, as applicable, other than Andeavor Logistics, its subsidiaries and its general partner.
Marathon Petroleum Corporation Merger
On October 1, 2018, MPC completed its acquisition of Andeavor in accordance with the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of April 29, 2018, as amended (the “MPC Merger Agreement”), under which MPC acquired all of Andeavor’s outstanding shares (the “MPC Merger”). Following the MPC Merger, MPC is the beneficial owner of approximately 156 million common units out of approximately 245 million common units outstanding in the Partnership as of October 1, 2018, representing an approximate 64% limited partner interest. MPC is also the beneficial owner of 100% of the equity interests of TLGP.
Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation
Principles of Consolidation
Assets acquired from Andeavor, and the associated liabilities and results of operations, are collectively referred to as the “Predecessors.” See Note 1 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 and Note 2 for additional information regarding the assets acquired from Andeavor.
Transfers of businesses between entities under common control are accounted for as if the transfer occurred at the beginning of the period, and prior periods are retrospectively adjusted to furnish comparative information. On August 6, 2018, we acquired Permian, refining logistics and asphalt assets (the “2018 Drop Down”) from Andeavor. See Note 2 for additional information. As an entity under common control with Andeavor, we record the assets that we acquire from Andeavor, on our condensed consolidated balance sheet at Andeavor’s historical basis instead of fair value. Accordingly, the accompanying financial statements and related notes of Andeavor Logistics have been retrospectively adjusted to include the historical results of the assets acquired prior to the effective date of the acquisition.
The financial statements of our Predecessors have been prepared from the separate records maintained by Andeavor and may not necessarily be indicative of the conditions that would have existed or the results of operations if our Predecessors had been operated as an unaffiliated entity. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Partnership’s net cash from operating activities includes $40 million and net cash used in investing activities of $446 million from our Predecessors, offset by sponsor contributions of equity to the Predecessors in net cash from financing activities. The Partnership’s operating activities and investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 include $25 million and $653 million, respectively, of cash used by our Predecessors, offset by sponsor contributions of equity to the Predecessors in net cash from financing activities.
We acquired certain logistics assets located in Anacortes, Washington (the “Anacortes Logistics Assets”) in 2017. While this acquisition is a common control transaction, prior periods have not been recast as these assets did not constitute a business in accordance with Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-01, “Clarifying the Definition of a Business.”
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto have been prepared by management without audit according to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and reflect all adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of results for the periods presented. Such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature, unless otherwise disclosed.
Basis of Presentation
We prepare our condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). However, certain information and notes normally included in financial statements prepared under U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the SEC’s rules and regulations. Management believes that the disclosures presented herein are adequate to present the information fairly. The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017. Certain prior year balances have been aggregated or disaggregated in order to conform to the current year presentation, including the adoption of recent accounting standards discussed further below.
|
| | |
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) | |
We are required under U.S. GAAP to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities and revenues and expenses reported as of and during the periods presented. We review our estimates on an ongoing basis using currently available information. Changes in facts and circumstances may result in revised estimates, and actual results could differ from those estimates. The results of operations of the Partnership for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year.
Cost Classifications
Natural gas liquids (“NGL”) expense results from the cost of NGL purchases under our percent of proceeds (“POP”) arrangements as well as the non-cash acquisition of replacement dry gas under our keep-whole arrangements.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, cost of fuel and other included the purchase cost of refined products sold within our Wholesale segment, the cost of inbound transportation and distribution costs incurred to transport product to our customers. Due to the adoption of ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” and the associated subsequent amendments (collectively, “ASC 606”) on January 1, 2018, the revenues and costs associated with our fuel purchase and supply arrangements were netted, as further described in Note 10.
Operating expenses are comprised of direct operating costs including costs incurred for direct labor, repairs and maintenance, outside services, chemicals and catalysts, utility costs, including the purchase of electricity and natural gas used by our facilities, property taxes, environmental compliance costs related to current period operations, rent expense and other direct operating expenses incurred in the provision of services.
Depreciation and amortization expenses consist of the depreciation and amortization of property, plant and equipment, deferred charges and intangible assets. General and administrative expenses represent costs that are not directly or indirectly related to or otherwise are not allocated to our operations. NGL expense, direct operating expenses, and depreciation and amortization expenses recognized by our Terminalling and Transportation, Gathering and Processing, and Wholesale segments constitute costs of revenue as defined by U.S. GAAP.
Financial Instruments
The fair value of our senior notes is based on prices from recent trade activity and is categorized in level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The borrowings under our amended revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) and our dropdown credit facility (“Dropdown Credit Facility”), which include a variable interest rate, approximate fair value. The carrying value and fair value of our debt were both $4.9 billion as of September 30, 2018 and were $4.2 billion and $4.3 billion at December 31, 2017, respectively. These carrying and fair values of our debt exclude the unamortized issuance costs, which are netted against our total debt.
We believe the carrying value of our other financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable and certain accrued liabilities, approximate fair value. Our fair value assessment incorporates a variety of considerations, including the short-term duration of the instruments and the expected future insignificance of bad debt expense, which includes an evaluation of counterparty credit risk.
New Accounting Standards and Disclosures
Revenue Recognition
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASC 606 to replace existing revenue recognition rules with a single comprehensive model to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers. Under ASC 606, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services for an amount that reflects the consideration the entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. In addition, ASC 606 requires expanded disclosure of the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers.
We adopted ASC 606 on January 1, 2018 utilizing the modified retrospective method. We recognized a $22 million reduction to the opening balance of partners’ equity as of January 1, 2018 for the cumulative effect adjustment related to contracts in process but not substantially complete as of that date. We reflected the aggregate impact of all modifications executed and effective as of January 1, 2018 in applying the new standard to these contracts. The cumulative effect adjustment is primarily related to the period over which revenue is recognized on contracts for which customers pay minimum throughput volume commitments and claw-back provisions apply. Additionally, upon the adoption of ASC 606, the gross versus net presentation of certain contractual arrangements and taxes has changed as further described in Note 10. The current period results and balances are presented in accordance with ASC 606, while comparative periods continue to be presented in accordance with the accounting standards in effect for those periods.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, we recorded lower revenues of $709 million and $2.0 billion, respectively, and lower costs and expenses of $709 million and $2.0 billion, respectively, for presentation impacts of applying ASC 606. These impacts were primarily associated with the netting of revenues and costs associated with our fuel purchase and supply arrangements with Andeavor, as further described in Note 10. We recorded lower revenues of $13 million and $10 million
|
| | |
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) |
associated with minimum volume commitments during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, as a result of applying the new standard. There were no material impacts during the period to the condensed consolidated balance sheets or condensed statement of consolidated cash flows, as a result of the adoption.
Leases
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases” (“ASU 2016-02”), which amends existing accounting standards for lease accounting and adds additional disclosures about leasing arrangements. Under the new guidance, lessees are required to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either a financing lease or operating lease with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the condensed statements of consolidated operations and presentation of cash flows in the condensed statements of consolidated cash flows. The new standard also requires additional disclosures to help financial statement users better understand the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. ASU 2016-02 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption being permitted. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, which permits entities with the option to adopt the provisions of ASU 2016-02 prospectively without adjusting comparative periods. We will elect this option and adopt the standard on January 1, 2019. In addition, we also expect to adopt the package of practical expedients which allows an entity, on the date of adoption, to not reassess expired or existing contracts in whether they are a lease or contain a lease and to not reassess the historical lease classification for expired or existing leases.
We continue to progress through our implementation plan, which includes the following activities: testing and implementing a new lease accounting system, finalizing design and implementation of new business processes and related internal controls, the continued extraction of the required accounting and reporting data from our lease agreements as well as the continued assessment and documentation of the accounting impacts related to the new standard. While we are still working through our implementation plan, we do expect that the recognition of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities, which are not currently reflected on our consolidated balance sheets, will have a material impact on total assets and liabilities. However, we do not expect the adoption of the standard to have a material impact on our statement of consolidated operations or liquidity. At this time, we are unable to estimate the full impact of the standard given we are still extracting the accounting data from our lease agreements as well as testing and implementing our new lease accounting system, which will be used to calculate the accounting impacts.
Credit Losses
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” (“ASU 2016-13”), which amends guidance on the impairment of financial instruments. The ASU requires the estimation of credit losses based on expected losses and provides for a simplified accounting model for purchased financial assets with credit deterioration. ASU 2016-13 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. While we are still evaluating the impact of ASU 2016-13, we do not expect to early adopt ASU 2016-13 and we do not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Restricted Cash
In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, "Restricted Cash" (“ASU 2016-18”), which clarifies how restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents are presented in the statements of cash flows. The ASU requires that changes in restricted cash that result from transfers between cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash should not be presented as cash flow activities in the statements of cash flows. ASU 2016-18 was effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. We adopted ASU 2016-08 as of January 1, 2018 on a retrospective basis. Adoption of this standard resulted in an increase in cash and cash equivalents during the second quarter of 2017 of $14 million, but the restriction was released during the third quarter of 2017 as the cash was used to reinvest in assets used in our business and as a payment of debt. As a result, the adoption of this standard did not have an impact on our condensed statement of consolidated cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. See Note 2 for further information regarding restricted cash.
Pension and Postretirement Costs
In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-07, “Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost” (“ASU 2017-07”), which requires the current service-cost component of net benefit costs to be presented similarly with other current compensation costs for related employees on the statement of consolidated operations and stipulates that only the service cost component of net benefit cost is eligible for capitalization. Additionally, the Partnership will present other components of net benefit costs elsewhere on the condensed statements of consolidated operations since these costs are allocated to the Partnership’s financial statements by Andeavor. The amendments to the presentation of the condensed statements of consolidated operations in this update should be applied retrospectively while the change in capitalized benefit cost is to be applied prospectively. We adopted ASU 2017-07 as of January 1, 2018. Adoption of the standard resulted in an increase to interest and financing costs of $2 million and $6 million, respectively, with a corresponding increase to other income of $2 million and $6 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 with no impact to net earnings. ASU 2017-07 does not impact the condensed consolidated balance sheets or condensed statements of consolidated cash flows.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) | |
Stock Compensation
In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, “Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting” (“ASU 2018-07”), which expands the scope of Topic 718 to include share-based payment awards to nonemployees and eliminates the classification differences for employee and nonemployee share-based payment awards. This guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. While we are still evaluating the impact of ASU 2018-07, we do not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Note 2 - Acquisitions and Divestitures
Acquisitions
2018 Drop Down
On August 6, 2018, we completed the 2018 Drop Down for total consideration of $1.55 billion comprised of $300 million in cash financed with borrowings under our Dropdown Credit Facility and 28,283,742 newly issued common units of the Partnership with a fair value of $1.25 billion.

In addition, the Conan Crude Oil Gathering System and the Los Angeles Refinery Interconnect Pipeline (“LARIP”) were transferred at cost plus incurred interest. In conjunction with the 2018 Drop Down, we entered into additional commercial agreements with Andeavor. See Note 3 for further information regarding these agreements.

SLC Core Pipeline System
On May 1, 2018, we completed our acquisition of the SLC Core Pipeline System (formerly referred to as the Wamsutter Pipeline System) from Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. for total consideration of $180 million. The system consists of pipelines that transport crude oil to another third-party pipeline system that supply the Salt Lake City area refineries, including Andeavor’s Salt Lake City refinery. We financed the acquisition using our Revolving Credit Facility. This acquisition is not material to our condensed consolidated financial statements and its operating results are reported in our Terminalling and Transportation segment.
Western Refining Logistics, LP Merger
Effective October 30, 2017, Andeavor Logistics closed its merger with Western Refining Logistics, LP (“WNRL”) (the “WNRL Merger”), exchanging all outstanding common units of WNRL for units of Andeavor Logistics, representing an equity value of $1.7 billion.
|
| | |
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) |
Andeavor Logistics accounted for the WNRL Merger as a common control transaction and, accordingly, inherited Andeavor’s basis in WNRL’s net assets. Andeavor accounted for the acquisition of WNRL using the acquisition method of accounting, which requires, among other things, that assets acquired at their fair values and liabilities assumed be recognized on the balance sheet as of the acquisition date, or June 1, 2017, the date Andeavor acquired WNRL. The purchase price allocation for the WNRL Merger has been allocated based on fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date. The allocation of the WNRL purchase price was final as of May 31, 2018. Prior to the purchase price finalization, we recorded adjustments to the allocation to increase property, plant and equipment and reduce goodwill by $7 million during 2018.

Goodwill
We evaluated several factors that contributed to the amount of goodwill presented above. These factors include the acquisition of a logistics business located in advantageous areas where there is crude oil marketing capabilities and meaningful refining offtake with an assembled workforce that cannot be duplicated at the same costs by a new entrant. Further, the WNRL Merger provides a platform for future growth through operating efficiencies Andeavor Logistics expects to gain from the application of best practices across the combined company and an ability to realize synergies from the geographic diversification of Andeavor Logistics’ business and rationalization of general and administrative costs. We allocated $352 million, $144 million and $62 million of goodwill to the Gathering and Processing, Terminalling and Transportation, and Wholesale segments, respectively.
Property, Plant and Equipment
The fair value of property, plant and equipment is $1.4 billion. This fair value is based on a valuation using a combination of the income, cost and market approaches. The useful lives of acquired assets have been aligned to similar assets at Andeavor Logistics.
Acquired Intangible Assets
The fair value of the acquired identifiable intangible assets is $130 million. This fair value is based on valuation completed for the business enterprise, along with the related tangible assets, using a combination of the income method, cost method and comparable market transactions. We recognized intangible assets associated with customer relationships of $130 million with third parties, all of which will be amortized on a straight-line basis over a weighted average useful life of 15 years. The accumulated amortization of our finite life intangibles acquired from the WNRL Merger was $12 million as of September 30, 2018. Amortization expense related to the acquired intangible assets is expected to be approximately $9 million per year for the next 15 years.
WNRL Revenues and Net Earnings
During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we recognized $303 million in revenues and $87 million of net earnings related to the business acquired.
Pro Forma Financial Information
The following unaudited pro forma information combines the historical operations of Andeavor Logistics and WNRL, giving effect to the WNRL Merger and related transactions as if they had been consummated on January 1, 2017, the beginning of the earliest period presented.

Divestitures
Alaska Storage and Terminalling Assets
On June 2, 2017, due to Andeavor’s consent decree with the state of Alaska associated with our 2016 acquisition of certain terminalling and storage assets owned by Andeavor, we sold one of our existing Alaska products terminals (“Alaska Terminal”) for $28 million. The sale resulted in a $25 million gain on sale in our condensed statements of consolidated operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The Alaska Terminal divestiture did not have an impact on our operations.
WNRL Lubricant Operations
On June 30, 2017, WNRL sold its remaining lubricant operations located in Arizona and Nevada for $14 million. There was no gain or loss resulting from this sale. Due to provisions in WNRL’s senior secured revolving credit facility agreement and senior notes indenture, the proceeds received from the sale of the lubricant operations were restricted to be used in the business or as a prepayment of debt. This cash was used during the third quarter of 2017 to reinvest in assets used in its business and as a payment of debt.

Note 3 - Related-Party Transactions
Affiliate Agreements
The Partnership has various long-term, fee-based commercial agreements with Andeavor, under which we provide terminal distribution, storage services, pipeline transportation, crude oil, natural gas and produced water gathering and processing, wholesale, and trucking services to Andeavor, and Andeavor commits to provide us with minimum monthly throughput volumes of crude oil, refined products and other. If, in any calendar month, Andeavor fails to meet its minimum volume commitments under these agreements, it will be required to pay us a shortfall payment. For the NGLs that we handle under keep-whole agreements, the Partnership transfers the commodity risk exposure associated with these keep-whole agreements to Andeavor pursuant to the Keep-Whole Commodity Fee Agreement, as amended (the “Keep-Whole Commodity Agreement”). Under the Keep-Whole Commodity Agreement, Andeavor pays us a processing fee for NGLs related to the keep-whole agreements and delivers replacement dry gas to the producers on our behalf. We then pay Andeavor a marketing fee in exchange for assuming the commodity risk. The terms and pricing of this agreement are subject to revision each year.
In conjunction with the 2018 Drop Down, the Partnership entered into additional commercial agreements with Andeavor.

(a) | Fixed minimum volumes remain in effect during routine turnarounds. |
In addition, we have agreements for the provision of various general and administrative services by Andeavor. Under our partnership agreement, we are required to reimburse TLGP and its affiliates for all costs and expenses they incur on our behalf for managing and controlling our business and operations. Except to the extent specified under our amended omnibus agreement (the “Amended Omnibus Agreement”) or our amended secondment agreement (the “Amended Secondment Agreement”), TLGP determines the amount of these expenses. The Amended Omnibus Agreement was most recently amended and restated as of September 28, 2018. Under the terms of the Amended Omnibus Agreement in effect as of September 30, 2018, we are required to pay Andeavor an annual corporate services fee of approximately $17 million for the provision of various centralized corporate services, including executive management, legal, accounting, treasury, human resources, health, safety and environmental, information technology, certain insurance coverage, administration and other corporate services. Andeavor charged the Partnership $28 million and $6 million pursuant to the Amended Secondment Agreement for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, with $38 million and $16 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, reflecting increased services provided in conjunction with the assets acquired in the 2018 Drop Down. Additionally, pursuant to the Amended Omnibus Agreement and Amended Secondment Agreement, we reimburse Andeavor for any direct costs incurred by Andeavor in providing other operational services with respect to certain of our other assets and operations. In conjunction with the 2018 Drop Down, we entered into a construction service agreement with Andeavor to complete the construction of LARIP (the “Construction Service Agreement”). Andeavor charged the Partnership $11 million pursuant to the Construction Service Agreement during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018.

Note 5 - Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the consideration paid over the fair value of the net assets acquired in a business combination. Goodwill acquired in a business combination is not amortized, but instead tested for impairment at least annually or more frequently should an event occur or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may be impaired. Goodwill impairment testing is performed at the reporting unit level on November 1 of each year and when circumstances change that might indicate impairment. There were no impairments of goodwill during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017.

Note 6 - Equity Method Investments and Joint Ventures
For each of the following investments, we have the ability to exercise significant influence over each of these investments through our participation in the management committees, which make all significant decisions. However, since we have equal or proportionate influence over each committee as a joint interest partner and all significant decisions require the consent of the other investors without regard to economic interest, we have determined that these entities should not be consolidated and apply the equity method of accounting with respect to our investments in each entity.

(b) | The carrying amount of our investments in ALRP, MPL, PNAC, RGS, TRG and UBFS exceeded the underlying equity in net assets by $75 million, $34 million, $17 million, $127 million, $14 million and $6 million, respectively, at September 30, 2018. The carrying amount of our investments in MPL, RGS, TRG and UBFS exceeded the underlying equity in net assets by $35 million, $130 million, $15 million and $6 million, respectively, at December 31, 2017. The carrying amounts of our investments that exceed the underlying equity in net assets are amortized over the useful life of the underlying fixed assets and included in equity in earnings (loss). |
We acquired 67% of all of the issued and outstanding limited liability company interests in ALRP as part of the 2018 Drop Down. ALRP is a variable interest entity. We are not the primary beneficiary of ALRP under the partnership agreement because the Partnership and the other minor shareholder jointly direct the activities of ALRP that most significantly impact its economic performance. In addition, we have a 78% interest in RGS. ALRP and RGS are unconsolidated variable interest entities and we use the equity method of accounting with respect to our investments in each entity.

(a) | On January 5, 2018, we amended our Revolving Credit Facility to increase the aggregate commitments from $600 million to $1.1 billion and to permit the incurrence of incremental loans. We are allowed to request that the loan availability be increased up to an aggregate of $2.1 billion, subject to receiving increased commitments from the lenders. |
Note 8 - Commitments and Contingencies
In the ordinary course of business, we may become party to lawsuits, disputes, administrative proceedings and governmental investigations, including environmental, regulatory and other matters. The outcome of these matters cannot always be predicted accurately, but we will accrue liabilities for these matters if the amount is probable and can be reasonably estimated. While it is not possible to predict the outcome of such proceedings, if one or more of them were decided against us, we believe there would be no material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Note 9 - Equity and Net Earnings per Unit
We had 89,299,615 common public units and 600,000 6.875% Series A Fixed-to-Floating Rate Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Units (the “Preferred Units”) outstanding as of September 30, 2018. Additionally, Andeavor owned 156,173,128 of our common units, constituting approximately 64% ownership interest in us. Andeavor also held 80,000 Andeavor Logistics TexNew Mex units and all of the outstanding non-economic general partner units as of September 30, 2018.

Net Earnings per Unit
Prior to the WNRL Merger, we used the two-class method when calculating the net earnings per unit applicable to limited partners, because we had more than one participating security consisting of limited partner common units, general partner units and incentive distribution rights (“IDRs”). Net earnings earned by the Partnership were allocated between the limited and general partners in accordance with our partnership agreement. At the effective time of the WNRL Merger, the IDRs were canceled (the “IDR Exchange”) and the general partner units were converted into a non-economic general partner interest in Andeavor Logistics (together with the IDR Exchange, the “IDR/GP Transaction”). As a result, the general partner units no longer participate in earnings or distributions, including IDRs. With the issuance of the Preferred Units, earnings are allocated first to the Preferred Units to equal their fixed distribution rate. We base our calculation of net earnings per unit using the weighted-average number of common limited partner units outstanding during the period.

Note 10 - Revenues
We recognize revenue upon transfer of control of promised products or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which we expect to be entitled in exchange for those products or services. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, revenues from contracts with customers were $528 million and $1.5 billion, respectively, which excludes lease revenues of $114 million and $292 million, respectively. Upon adoption of ASC 606, revenue is recognized net of amounts
|
| | |
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) | |
collected from customers for taxes assessed by governmental authorities on, and concurrent with, specific revenue-producing transactions.
Service Revenue
We generate service revenue for gathering and transporting crude oil, natural gas and water; processing and fractionating natural gas and NGLs; and terminalling, transporting, and storing crude oil and refined products. We perform these services under various contractual arrangements with our customers. Under fee-based arrangements, we receive a fixed rate per volumetric unit for services we provide. For many of these fee-based arrangements, customers are required to make deficiency payments when they do not meet their minimum throughput volume commitments. Some of these contracts allow our customers to claw-back all or a portion of prior deficiency payments against excess volumes in future periods. Under keep-whole arrangements, we gather and process natural gas from producer-customers, retain and sell extracted NGLs, and return to the producer replacement dry gas (“shrink gas”) with an equivalent British thermal unit content of the NGLs retained. For these arrangements, we receive from the producer a combination of fixed rate-per unit of cash consideration as well as non-cash consideration in the form of retained NGLs. Other agreements with producers consist of POP arrangements for which we gather and purchase natural gas from the producers, process purchased natural gas, and sell resulting NGLs and shrink gas at market prices. Reimbursements of certain costs and fees received under these purchase arrangements are recorded as a reduction to NGL expense. See further discussion below on our accounting for product revenues related to the sales of products resulting from our processing activities.
We recognize service revenue over time, as customers simultaneously receive and consume the related benefits of the services that we stand ready to provide. Revenue is recognized using an output measure, such as the throughput volume or capacity utilization, as these measures most accurately depict the satisfaction of our performance obligations. Where contracts contain variable pricing terms, the variability is either resolved within the reporting period, or the variable consideration is allocated to the specific unit of service to which it relates. Deficiency payments under contracts with claw-back provisions are deferred and recognized as revenue as customers reclaim amounts by throughputting excess volumes. To the extent it is probable a customer will not recover all or a portion of the deficiency payment, the estimated residual deficiency is recognized ratably over the claw-back period. Payments for services rendered are generally received no later than 60 days from the month of service, with the exception of deficiency payments described above.
For our keep-whole arrangements, we recognize service revenue for the fair value of non-cash consideration we receive in the form of NGLs. We obtain control of the NGLs we receive from our customers, have discretion in establishing price and have the ability to direct their use. We estimate the fair value of non-cash consideration at the date we obtain control of the respective NGLs, using the monthly average published price of underlying commodity adjusted for geography and commodity specifications.
We experience volume gains and losses, which we sometimes refer to as imbalances, within our pipelines, terminals and storage facilities due to pressure and temperature changes, evaporations and variances in meter reading in other measurement methods. Some of our arrangements require us to bear losses when actual volume losses exceed a contractually specified percentage. Similarly, we receive a benefit when actual volume losses are lower than the contractually specified percentage. For gains and losses which are cash settled, we include the settlement amounts in our service revenues. We recognize non-cash consideration for the stated percentage of commodity we retain and control. We record this non-cash consideration at fair value in service revenue on a gross basis in service revenue and operating expense. The total amount of service revenue and NGL expense recorded associated with these arrangements is not material to our condensed statement of consolidated operations.
Product Revenue
We generate product revenue from the sale of NGLs and related products along with the sale of gasoline and diesel fuel within our wholesale business. We sell NGLs, shrink gas and condensate using natural gas we acquire from producers under our POP arrangements. We record revenues for the sale of these NGLs and related products at market prices, and record the payments to producers for the agreed-upon percentage of the total sales proceeds as NGL expense, net of certain charges, which is reported within costs and expenses in our condensed statement of consolidated operations.
We have certain fuel purchase and sale arrangements with Andeavor under which we receive certain minimum guaranteed margins with upside potential on a certain portion of our branded and unbranded fuel sales. Andeavor retains control of fuel and is the principal in these affiliate arrangements. Therefore, we net the purchase and sale of fuel in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.
NGLs received under keep-whole arrangements are sold to our affiliate. In return, we receive shrink gas which we then remit to the producers. This transaction is treated as a sale, for which we record the fair value of the non-cash consideration at the date we obtain control of the shrink gas. We utilize a monthly average of the published price of the commodity, adjusted for geography.
Our product sales arrangements are for specified goods for which enforceable rights and obligations are created when sales volumes are determined, which typically occurs as orders are issued or spot sales are made, but may be determined at contract inception. Each barrel, gallon or other unit of measure of product, is separately identifiable and represents a distinct performance
|
| | |
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) |
obligation to which the transaction price is allocated based on stand-alone selling price. We use observable market prices for the products we sell to determine the stand-alone selling price of each separate performance obligation. Product revenues are recognized at a point-in-time, which generally occurs upon delivery and transfer of title to the customer. Payments for product sales are generally received within 30 days from when control has transferred.
Other Arrangements
Based on the terms of certain storage and other agreements in which the counterparty is primarily Andeavor, we are considered to be the lessor under these implicit operating lease arrangements. Income from these leases is excluded from the scope of the new revenue standard.
Customer Contract Assets
Our receivables are generated primarily from contracts with customers. Our payment terms vary by product or service type. The period between invoicing and payment is not significant, and our assets associated with contracts with customers consist primarily of billed accounts receivable, which are included in receivables, net of allowance for doubtful accounts in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Our contract assets include amounts recognized for deficiency payments associated with minimum volume commitments which have not been billed to customers. These contract assets are included in prepayments and other current assets in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Customer Contract Liabilities
For certain products or services, we receive payment in advance of when performance obligations are satisfied. These liabilities from contracts with customers consist primarily of certain deficiency payments for minimum volume commitments and customer reimbursements of costs for capital projects. Customer advances for capital projects are generally recognized over the contract term. We do not have a material impact for financing components associated with these customer advances. Payments for minimum volume commitments and other customer advances are included in deferred income within other current liabilities and other noncurrent liabilities based on timing of expected recognition, which may extend up to 15 years. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, we recognized $4 million and $24 million in revenue from contract liabilities existing as of January 1, 2018, after cumulative adjustments for the adoption of ASC 606.

(b) | These amounts exclude balances associated with equity method investments. We recognized a cumulative adjustment of $3 million as a decrease to Equity Method Investments in our condensed consolidated balance sheets as of January 1, 2018 for the impacts related to our equity method investment in Three Rivers Gathering, LLC. There were no material impacts to this balance during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 due to the adoption. |
Remaining Performance Obligations
We do not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts with original expected terms of one year or less or the value of variable consideration related to unsatisfied performance obligations, when such values are not required to be estimated for purposes of allocation and recognition. Revenues associated with remaining obligations under contracts with terms in excess of one year related primarily to arrangements for which the customer has agreed to fixed consideration based on minimum throughput volume commitments or capacity utilization. As of September 30, 2018, we had $4.1 billion of expected revenues from remaining performance obligations.
The future revenues from our service arrangements with fixed fees or minimum throughput volume commitments will be recognized over the period of performance to which the fixed fee or commitment relates, which ranges from 1 year to 15 years. We expect approximately 80% of our total remaining obligations to be recognized within 5 years.
Disaggregation
We disaggregate our revenues by product and services, and further by product line. For additional information regarding our operating segments, see Note 11.

Note 11 - Operating Segments
Our revenues are derived from three operating segments: Terminalling and Transportation, Gathering and Processing and Wholesale. We evaluate the performance of our segments based primarily on segment operating income and net earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization expenses (“EBITDA”). For the purposes of our operating segment disclosure, we present operating income as it is the most comparable measure to the amounts presented in our condensed statements of consolidated operations. Segment operating income includes those revenues and expenses that are directly attributable to management of the respective segment. Certain general and administrative expenses and interest and financing costs are excluded from segment operating income as they are not directly attributable to a specific operating segment.
Our Terminalling and Transportation segment consists of pipeline systems, including regulated common carrier refined products pipeline systems and other pipelines, which transport products and crude oil primarily from Andeavor’s refineries to nearby facilities, as well as crude oil and refined products terminals and storage facilities, marine terminals, asphalt terminals, rail-car unloading facilities, an asphalt trucking operation and a petroleum coke handling and storage facility.
Our Gathering and Processing segment consists of crude oil, natural gas, NGLs and produced water gathering systems in the Bakken Shale/Williston Basin area of North Dakota and Montana, the Green River Basin, Uinta Basin, and Vermillion Basin in the states of Utah, Colorado and Wyoming, the Delaware Basin in the Permian Basin area of West Texas and Southern New Mexico, and in the San Juan Basin in the Four Corners area of Northwestern New Mexico. It also consists of gas processing and fractionation complexes in the Bakken Shale, Green River Basin, Uinta Basin and Vermillion Basin.
Our Wholesale segment includes the operations of several bulk petroleum distribution plants and a fleet of refined product delivery trucks that distribute commercial wholesale petroleum products primarily in Arizona, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico and Texas. The refined product trucking business delivers a significant portion of the volumes sold by our Wholesale segment.

See “Important Information Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” section for a discussion of the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in these statements.
This section should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.
Business Strategy and Overview
Overview
We are a fee-based, growth oriented Delaware limited partnership formed by Andeavor. We are a leading full-service logistics company operating primarily in the western and inland regions of the United States. We own and operate networks of crude oil, refined products and natural gas pipelines, terminals with crude oil and refined product storage capacity, rail loading and offloading facilities, marine terminals, bulk petroleum distribution facilities, a trucking fleet and natural gas processing and fractionation complexes.
Our assets are categorized into a Terminalling and Transportation segment, a Gathering and Processing segment, and a Wholesale segment. Approximately 65% and 64% of our total revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, were derived from Andeavor under various long-term, fee-based commercial agreements, the majority of which include minimum volume commitments.
On October 1, 2018, MPC completed its acquisition of Andeavor, under which MPC acquired all of Andeavor’s outstanding shares. Following the MPC Merger, MPC became the beneficial owner of approximately 156 million common units out of approximately 245 million common units outstanding in the Partnership as of October 1, 2018, representing an approximate 64% limited partner interest. MPC is also the beneficial owner of 100% of the equity interests of TLGP.
Effective October 30, 2017, we completed the WNRL Merger exchanging all outstanding common units of WNRL for units of Andeavor Logistics. WNRL’s assets include terminals, storage tanks, pipelines and other logistics assets related to the terminalling, transportation, storage and distribution of crude oil, refined products and asphalt. WNRL’s assets and operations include 705 miles of pipelines, approximately 12.4 million barrels of active storage capacity, distribution of wholesale petroleum products and crude oil and asphalt trucking. This acquisition, along with the associated infrastructure and Andeavor’s refining and commercial capabilities, positions us to pursue organic growth opportunities across our combined geographic footprint including the Midland and Delaware Basins of West Texas. Refer to Items Impacting Comparability in this section for more information.
We generate revenues by charging fees for terminalling, transporting and storing crude oil, refined products and asphalt, gathering crude oil and produced water, gathering and processing natural gas and selling fuel through wholesale commercial contracts. We do not engage in the trading of crude oil, natural gas, NGLs or refined products; therefore, we have minimal direct exposure to risks associated with commodity price fluctuations as part of our normal operations. However, we have certain natural gas gathering and processing contracts structured as POP arrangements. Under these POP arrangements, we gather and process the producers’ natural gas, market the natural gas and return the majority of the proceeds to the producer. Under these arrangements, we have exposure to fluctuations in commodity prices; however, this exposure is not expected to be material to our results of operations. Also, as part of the WNRL Merger, we acquired a wholesale fuel business that has exposure to commodity prices while the refined product is being transported but are mitigated by fixed margin contracts.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis | |
Business Strategy and Goals
Our primary business objectives are to maintain and grow stable cash flows. We intend to accomplish these objectives by executing the following strategies:
|
| | | |
| Growing a stable, fee-based business that provides a competitive, full-service logistics offering to customers |
|
|
| |
| |
| Optimizing Existing Asset Base | | ● Operating an incident free workplace
● Improving operational efficiency and maximizing asset utilization
● Expanding third-party business; delivering extraordinary customer service |
|
|
| |
| |
| Pursuing Organic Expansion Opportunities | | ● Identifying and executing low-risk, high-return growth projects
● Investing to capture the full commercial value of logistics assets
● Growing asset capability to support Marathon’s refining and marketing business |
|
|
| |
| |
| Growing through Third-Party Acquisitions | | ● Pursuing assets and businesses in strategic U.S. geographies that support an integrated business model, delivering synergies and growth
● Focusing on high quality assets that provide stable, fee-based income and enhancing organizational capacity |
|
|
| |
| |
| Growing through Strategic Expansion | | ● Strategically partnering with Marathon on organic opportunities and acquisitions |
|
|
| |
Relative to these goals, in 2018, we intend to continue implementing this strategy and have completed or announced plans to expand our Terminalling and Transportation business across the western and inland U.S. through:
| |
• | increasing our terminalling volumes by expanding capacity and growing our third-party services at certain terminals; |
| |
• | optimizing volumes and growing third-party throughput at our Terminalling and Transportation assets; and |
| |
• | pursuing strategic assets in the western and inland U.S. |
In addition, we have completed or announced plans to grow our assets in our Gathering and Processing segment in support of third-party demand for crude oil, natural gas and water gathering services, natural gas processing services, as well as serving Marathon’s demand for Bakken crude oil in the inland and west coast refining systems and providing crude oil supply to support Marathon’s southwest refining system through our Permian Basin logistics assets, including:
| |
• | further expanding capacity and capabilities as well as adding new origin and destination points for our common carrier pipelines in North Dakota and Montana; |
| |
• | expanding our crude oil, natural gas and water gathering and associated gas processing footprint in the Bakken region to enhance and improve overall basin logistics efficiencies; |
| |
• | expanding our crude oil gathering footprint in the Permian Basin; and |
| |
• | pursuing strategic assets across the western and inland U.S. |
Acquisitions
2018 Drop Down
On August 6, 2018, we completed the 2018 Drop Down for total consideration of $1.55 billion. These assets include gathering, storage and transportation assets in the Permian Basin; legacy Western Refining, Inc. assets and associated crude terminals; the majority of Andeavor’s remaining refining terminalling, transportation and storage assets; and equity method investments in ALRP, MPL and PNAC. In addition, the Conan Crude Oil Gathering System and LARIP were transferred at cost plus incurred interest. The transaction was funded by issuing common units to Andeavor and the remainder with borrowings under our Dropdown Credit Facility.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis |
SLC Core Pipeline System
On May 1, 2018, we completed our acquisition of the SLC Core Pipeline System (formerly referred to as the Wamsutter Pipeline System) from Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. for total consideration of $180 million. The system consists of pipelines that transport crude oil to another third party pipeline system that supply the Salt Lake City area refineries, including Andeavor’s Salt Lake City refinery. We financed the acquisition using our Revolving Credit Facility. This acquisition is not material to our condensed consolidated financial statements and its operating results are reported in our Terminalling and Transportation segment.
Current Market Conditions
During the third quarter of 2018, the spot prices of the benchmarked commodities that we handle remained high, including crude oil, NGLs and refined products. Natural gas prices remained flat during the period. Crude oil prices maintained multi-year premiums as global producers discussed raising production levels to offset falling production from Venezuela as well as the potential of sanctions by the U.S. on Iranian exports. The U.S. benchmark crude West Texas Intermediate increased over $2 per barrel during the quarter, while U.S. production of both oil and gas again reached record levels during the third quarter. Crude inventories in the U.S. climbed up to the five-year average in the third quarter as higher refinery production offset lower U.S. crude exports. Domestic refined product demand for the third quarter remained higher year-over-year, while continued higher exports of refined products are providing incentive for U.S. refiners to maximize production of gasoline and diesel. These factors create a positive outlook for U.S. oil, gas, natural gas and refined product throughput volumes, however, regional impacts may differ.
Seasonal trends and continued healthy domestic economic conditions during the third quarter continued to support refined product demand from our downstream and marketing customers. We continue to monitor the impact of commodity prices and fundamentals as it relates to our business. Given the outlined market conditions, we believe our diversified portfolio of businesses as well as our strong customer base are sufficient to continue to meet our goals and objectives outlined above.
Results of Operations
A discussion and analysis of the factors contributing to our results of operations presented below includes the financial results of our Predecessors and the consolidated financial results of Andeavor Logistics. The financial statements of our Predecessors were prepared from the separate records maintained by Andeavor and may not necessarily be indicative of the conditions that would have existed or the results of operations if our Predecessors had been operated as an unaffiliated entity. The financial statements, together with the following information, are intended to provide investors with a reasonable basis for assessing our historical operations, but should not serve as the only criteria for predicting future performance.
Operating Metrics
Management utilizes the following operating metrics to evaluate performance and compare profitability to other companies in the industry (amounts may not recalculate due to rounding of dollar and volume information):
| |
• | Average terminalling revenue per barrel - calculated as total terminalling revenue divided by terminalling throughput presented in thousands of barrels per day (“Mbpd”) multiplied by 1,000 and multiplied by the number of days in the period, (92 days for both the three months ended September 30, 2018 (the “2018 Quarter”) and 2017 (the “2017 Quarter”) and 273 days for both the nine months ended September 30, 2018 (the “2018 Period”) and 2017 (the “2017 Period”); |
| |
• | Average pipeline transportation revenue per barrel - calculated as total pipeline transportation revenue divided by pipeline transportation throughput presented in Mbpd multiplied by 1,000 and multiplied by the number of days in the period as outlined above; |
| |
• | Average margin on NGL sales per barrel - calculated as the difference between the NGL sales revenues and the amounts recognized as NGL expense divided by our NGL sales volumes in barrels presented in Mbpd multiplied by 1,000 and multiplied by the number of days in the period as outlined above; |
| |
• | Average gas gathering and processing revenue per Million British thermal units (“MMBtu”) - calculated as total gathering and processing fee-based revenue divided by gas gathering throughput presented in thousands of MMBtu per day (“MMBtu/d”) multiplied by 1,000 and multiplied by the number of days in the period as outlined above; |
| |
• | Average crude oil and water gathering revenue per barrel - calculated as total crude oil and water gathering fee-based revenue divided by crude oil and water gathering throughput presented in Mbpd multiplied by 1,000 and multiplied by the number of days in the period as outlined above; |
| |
• | Wholesale fuel sales per gallon - calculated as wholesale fuel revenues divided by our total wholesale fuel sales volume in gallons; and |
| |
• | Average wholesale fuel sales margin per gallon - calculated as the difference between total wholesale fuel revenues and wholesale cost of fuel and other divided by our total wholesale fuel sales volume in gallons. |
|
| | |
Management’s Discussion and Analysis | |
There are a variety of ways to calculate average revenue per barrel, average margin per barrel, average revenue per MMBtu, sales per gallon and average margin per gallon; other companies may calculate these in different ways.
Non-GAAP Measures
As a supplement to our financial information presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, our management uses certain “non-GAAP” measures to analyze our results of operations, assess internal performance against budgeted and forecasted amounts and evaluate future impacts to our financial performance as a result of capital investments, acquisitions, divestitures and other strategic projects. These measures are important factors in assessing our operating results and profitability and include:
| |
• | Financial non-GAAP measure of EBITDA - calculated as U.S. GAAP-based net earnings before interest, income taxes and depreciation and amortization expense; |
| |
• | Financial non-GAAP measure of Segment EBITDA - calculated as a segment’s U.S. GAAP-based operating income before depreciation and amortization expense plus equity in earnings (loss) of equity method investments and other income (expense), net; |
| |
• | Liquidity non-GAAP measure of distributable cash flow - calculated as U.S. GAAP-based net cash flow from operating activities adjusted for changes in working capital, amounts spent on maintenance capital net of reimbursements and other adjustments not expected to settle in cash; |
| |
• | Liquidity non-GAAP measure of distributable cash flow attributable to common unitholders - calculated as distributable cash flow minus distributions associated with the Preferred Units; |
| |
• | Operating performance measure of average margin on NGL sales per barrel - calculated as the difference between the NGL sales revenues and the amounts recognized as NGL expense divided by our NGL sales volumes in barrels presented in Mbpd multiplied by 1,000 and multiplied by the number of days in the period as previously outlined; and |
| |
• | Operating performance measure of average wholesale fuel sales margin per gallon - calculated as the difference between total wholesale fuel revenues and wholesale’s cost of fuel divided by our total wholesale fuel sales volumes in gallons. |
We present these measures because we believe they may help investors, analysts, lenders and ratings agencies analyze our results of operations and liquidity in conjunction with our U.S. GAAP results, including but not limited to:
| |
• | our operating performance as compared to other publicly traded partnerships in the midstream energy industry, without regard to historical cost basis or financing methods; |
| |
• | the ability of our assets to generate sufficient cash flow to make distributions to our unitholders; |
| |
• | our ability to incur and service debt and fund capital expenditures; and |
| |
• | the viability of acquisitions and other capital expenditure projects and the returns on investment of various investment opportunities. |
Management also uses these measures to assess internal performance, and we believe they may provide meaningful supplemental information to the users of our financial statements. Non-GAAP measures have important limitations as analytical tools, because they exclude some, but not all, items that affect net earnings, operating income and net cash from operating activities. These measures should not be considered substitutes for their most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures.
For further information regarding these non-GAAP measures, including the reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures, see the “Non-GAAP Reconciliations” section.
Items Impacting Comparability
Our financial results may not be comparable for the reasons described below. Other than WNRL and certain assets acquired from the 2018 Drop Down, our Predecessors did not record revenues with Andeavor and our Predecessors recorded general and administrative expenses and financed operations differently than the Partnership. See “Items Impacting Comparability” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 for further discussion.
As previously mentioned, on August 6, 2018, we completed the 2018 Drop Down for total consideration of $1.55 billion. As an entity under common control with Andeavor, we accounted for the transfers of businesses as if the transfer occurred at the beginning of the period, and prior periods are retrospectively adjusted to furnish comparative information. Accordingly, the accompanying results of operations have been retrospectively adjusted to include the historical results of the assets acquired prior to the effective date of the acquisition.
On January 1, 2018, we adopted ASC 606 utilizing the modified retrospective method. The current period results and balances are presented in accordance with ASC 606 while comparative periods continue to be presented in accordance with the accounting standards in effect for those periods. Refer to Note 1 and Note 10 within Item 1 for further details regarding ASC 606 and the financial impact due to adoption of the standard.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis |
On June 1, 2017, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of November 16, 2016, by and among Western Refining, Inc. (“Western Refining”), Andeavor, Andeavor’s wholly-owned subsidiaries Tahoe Merger Sub 1, Inc. and Tahoe Merger Sub 2, LLC, Tahoe Merger Sub 1 was merged with and into Western Refining, with Western Refining surviving such merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Andeavor (the “WNR Merger”). As a result of the WNR Merger, Andeavor obtained Western Refining’s controlling interest in WNRL. Thus, the WNRL Merger was treated as a transaction of entities under common control and these condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the operations, financial position and cash flows associated with WNRL and their related subsidiaries as of June 1, 2017.
As a result of the WNRL Merger, we have presented the wholesale fuel distribution business as a separate segment and included the asphalt trucking and crude trucking operations in the Terminalling and Transportation segment and Gathering and Processing segment, respectively.

Gathering and Processing Segment
Our Gathering and Processing segment consists of crude oil, natural gas, NGLs and produced water gathering systems in the Bakken Shale/Williston Basin area of North Dakota and Montana, the Green River Basin, Uinta Basin and Vermillion Basin in the states of Utah, Colorado and Wyoming (the “Rockies Region”), the Delaware Basin in the Permian Basin area of West Texas and Southern New Mexico, and in the San Juan Basin in the Four Corners area of Northwestern New Mexico. It also consists of gas processing and fractionation complexes in the Bakken Shale, Green River Basin, Uinta Basin and Vermillion Basin.

| |
(c) | Adjusted to include the historical results of the Predecessors. |
Volumes
NGL sales volumes increased in the 2018 Quarter as compared to the 2017 Quarter primarily due to ethane recovery in the Rockies region in the 2018 Quarter. Ethane recovery is the process of capturing ethane during the NGL processing stream, where it is then fractionated and sold. The decrease in gas gathering and processing throughput volumes of 239 thousand MMBtu/d, or 25%, in the 2018 Quarter as compared to the 2017 Quarter was primarily driven by the adoption of ASC 606 which changed the presentation of certain of our volumes. The impact of the adoption is described further in Note 10. In addition, beginning in the 2018 Quarter, certain low-tariff processing agreements expired reducing our throughput approximately 45 thousand MMBtu/d. Crude oil and water throughput volumes increased 38 Mbpd, or 9%, in the 2018 Quarter primarily due to contributions from the 2018 Drop Down.

Financial Results
Our Gathering and Processing segment’s operating income increased $30 million, or 60%, in the 2018 Quarter compared to the 2017 Quarter. Segment EBITDA increased $27 million, or 26%, in the 2018 Quarter compared to the 2017 Quarter.
Revenues for our crude oil and water gathering systems improved due to the impact from operations obtained in the WNRL Merger and the 2018 Drop Down which increased the throughput volumes and improved our tariff mix. Revenues also increased due to continued strong volume growth in our Permian crude oil gathering during the 2018 Quarter. Revenues and NGL expense in the 2018 Quarter were impacted by expanded capacity at the Robinson Lake gas processing facility.
Revenues were also impacted by the adoption of ASC 606, as further described in Note 10. Certain cost recoveries previously presented as service revenues are now reflected as reductions to NGL expense, resulting in an increase to the average margin on NGL sales per barrel, but an immaterial impact on our segment operating income and Segment EBITDA.
In addition, we had incremental operating expenses primarily associated with the 2018 Drop Down and ASC 606, as further described in Note 10.

The impact of the adoption is described further in Note 10. Planned downtime at our Robinson Lake gas processing facility also resulted in lower volumes during the 2018 Period. Crude oil and water throughput volumes increased 49 Mbpd, or 13%, in the 2018 Period primarily due to contributions from the WNRL Merger.

Financial Results
Our Gathering and Processing segment’s operating income increased $68 million, or 43%, in the 2018 Period compared to the 2017 Period. Segment EBITDA increased $92 million, or 31%, in the 2018 Period compared to the 2017 Period. The 2018 Period was impacted by planned downtime at the Robinson Lake gas processing facility to allow for a capacity expansion project, which was successfully completed within the 2018 Period.
Revenues for our crude oil and water gathering systems improved due to the impact from operations obtained in the WNRL Merger increasing the throughput volumes and improving our tariff mix. Revenues also increased due to continued strong volume growth in our Permian crude oil gathering during the 2018 Period and Andeavor’s Mandan refinery undergoing a turnaround in the 2017 Period. Revenues were also impacted by the adoption of ASC 606, as further described in Note 10.

Wholesale
Our Wholesale segment includes the operations of several bulk petroleum distribution plants and a fleet of refined product delivery trucks that distribute commercial wholesale petroleum products primarily in Arizona, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico and Texas. The refined product trucking business delivers a significant portion of the volumes sold by our Wholesale segment.
The Wholesale segment was added as a result of the WNRL Merger, therefore, there were only four months of activity to report for the Wholesale segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

Capital Resources and Liquidity
Overview
Our primary cash requirements relate to funding capital expenditures, acquisitions, meeting operational needs, servicing our debt and paying distributions to our unitholders. We expect our ongoing sources of liquidity to include cash generated from operations, reimbursement for certain maintenance and expansion expenditures, borrowings under our credit facilities and issuances of additional debt and equity securities. We believe that cash generated from these sources will be sufficient to meet our short-term working capital, long-term capital expenditure, acquisition and debt servicing requirements and allow us to fund at least the minimum quarterly cash distributions.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis |
Equity Overview
Our partnership agreement authorizes us to issue an unlimited number of additional partnership securities on the terms and conditions determined by our general partner without the approval of the unitholders. Costs associated with the issuance of securities are allocated to all unitholders’ capital accounts based on their ownership interest at the time of issuance. We had 89,299,615 common public units and 600,000 Preferred Units outstanding as of September 30, 2018. Additionally, Andeavor owned 156,173,128 of our common units, constituting approximately 64% ownership interest in us. Andeavor also held 80,000 Andeavor Logistics TexNew Mex units and all of the outstanding non-economic general partner units as of September 30, 2018.
Issuance of Preferred Units

Operating Activities
Net cash from operating activities increased $195 million to $719 million in the 2018 Period compared to $524 million for the 2017 Period. The increase in cash from operating activities was primarily driven by an increase in net earnings from the 2017 Period to the 2018 Period and the change in working capital.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities for the 2018 Period was $945 million compared to $1.4 billion in the 2017 Period. The decrease in cash used was the result of the cash paid for acquisitions in each period and proceeds from the sale of certain Alaska terminalling assets and WNRL’s lubricant operations located in Arizona and Nevada during the 2017 Period. The 2017 Period included the acquisition of the North Dakota Gathering and Processing Assets and MPL and the 2018 Period included the acquisition of the SLC Core Pipeline System and ownership interests in ALRP and PNAC. Partially offsetting these were higher cash spend on capital expenditures during the 2018 Period. See “Capital Expenditures” below for a discussion of the expected capital expenditures for the year ended December 31, 2018.
Financing Activities
The 2018 Period had net cash from financing activities of $181 million compared to $230 million for the 2017 Period. Sources of cash such as issuances of equity decreased by $290 million but net borrowings under our revolving credit facilities increased by $992 million. The use of our cash to make distributions to common and preferred unitholders increased $291 million and $29 million, respectively. There were no distributions to our general partner during the 2018 Period due to the IDR/GP Transaction compared to $131 million during the 2017 Period. During the 2018 Period, we made $300 million in cash payments to common unitholders for the 2018 Drop Down. There was a decrease in cash from sponsor contributions of equity to the Predecessors of $272 million.
Capital Expenditures
We expect capital expenditures for the year ended December 31, 2018 to be approximately $750 million, or approximately $720 million net of reimbursements primarily from Andeavor with whom we contract to provide services. The revised capital expenditure estimate reflects approximately $170 million attributable to amounts spent by our Predecessors during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 as well as additional capital required to complete projects included in the 2018 Drop Down and the acceleration of crude oil gathering projects in the Permian Basin. Refer to Note 2 for further information regarding the 2018 Drop Down.
During the 2018 Period, we spent $454 million on growth capital projects, net of $16 million in reimbursements primarily from Andeavor, and $42 million on maintenance capital projects, net of $12 million in reimbursements primarily from Andeavor. These include approximately $164 million and $6 million of growth and maintenance capital, respectively, spent by our Predecessors. There have been no other material changes to committed amounts for our major capital projects previously discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis | |
Distributions
Our partnership agreement, as amended, sets forth the calculation to be used to determine the amount and priority of cash distributions that the limited partner unitholders will receive.
Quarterly Distributions
For the three months ended September 30, 2018, June 30, 2018, March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, we declared distributions of $1.03, $1.03, $1.015 and $1.00 per limited partnership common unit, respectively, or $4.12, $4.12, $4.06 and $4.00, respectively, on an annualized basis, resulting in cash distributions of $238 million, $209 million, $205 million and $205 million, respectively. The distribution for the quarter ended September 30, 2018 will be paid November 14, 2018 to all unitholders of record as of November 5, 2018. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we paid distributions of $29 million to holders of our Preferred Units.
Environmental and Other Matters
Environmental Regulation
We are subject to extensive federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations. These laws, which change frequently, regulate the discharge of materials into the environment or otherwise relate to protection of the environment. Compliance with these laws and regulations may require us to remediate environmental damage from any discharge of petroleum, natural gas or chemical substances from our facilities or require us to install additional pollution control equipment on our equipment and facilities. Our failure to comply with these or any other environmental or safety-related regulations could result in the assessment of administrative, civil or criminal penalties, the imposition of investigatory and remedial liabilities, and the issuance of injunctions that may subject us to additional operational constraints.
Future expenditures may be required to comply with the federal, state and local environmental requirements for our various sites, including our storage facilities, pipelines, gas processing complexes and refined products terminals. The impact of these legislative and regulatory developments, if enacted or adopted, could result in increased compliance costs and additional operating restrictions on our business, each of which could have an adverse impact on our liquidity, financial position or results of operations. See our discussion of the Amended Omnibus Agreement and the Carson Assets Indemnity Agreement in Note 3 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, for more information regarding the indemnification of certain environmental matters provided to us by Andeavor and discussion of other certain environmental obligations.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk | |
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
There have been no material changes to our market risks as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 from the risks discussed in Part II, Item 7A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information that we are required to disclose in reports we file under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“the Exchange Act”), is accumulated and appropriately communicated to management. With the exception of the new Enterprise Resource Planning (“ERP”) implementation described below, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15 that occurred during the third quarter of 2018 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
On April 1, 2018, Andeavor implemented the first phases of a new ERP system designed to upgrade the technology and improve the financial and operational information. As a result of the system implementation, we updated our framework of internal controls to reflect the system enhancements and corresponding changes to our business processes. While we believe that the ERP system and related changes to internal controls will ultimately strengthen our internal control over financial reporting, there are inherent risks in implementing a new ERP system. We will continue to evaluate and test these control changes in order to provide certification as of December 31, 2018 on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting.
We carried out an evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(b) of the Exchange Act, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures at the end of the reporting period. Based on that evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the reporting period.

Legal Proceedings, Risk Factors and Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities |
Part II - Other Information
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
Litigation Matters
In the ordinary course of business, we may become party to lawsuits, administrative proceedings and governmental investigations, including environmental, regulatory and other matters. The outcome of these matters cannot always be predicted accurately, but we accrue liabilities for these matters if we have determined that it is probable a loss has been incurred and the loss can be reasonably estimated. While it is not possible to predict the outcome of such proceedings, if one or more of them were decided against us, we believe there would be no material impact on our liquidity, financial position or results of operations.
Environmental Matters
SEC regulations require us to report certain information about any proceeding arising under federal, state or local provisions regulating the discharge of materials into the environment or protecting the environment if a governmental authority is a party to the proceeding and we reasonably believe that the proceeding will result in monetary sanctions of $100,000 or more. There were no new proceedings during the third quarter of 2018. While it is not possible to predict the outcome of such proceedings, if one or more of them were decided against us, we believe there would be no material impact on our liquidity, financial position or results of operations.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
There have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, except as follows:
As a result of the MPC Merger, MPC owns our general partner.
On October 1, 2018, MPC completed its acquisition of Andeavor in accordance with the MPC Merger Agreement, under which MPC acquired all of Andeavor’s outstanding shares. Upon completion of the MPC Merger, Andeavor became a wholly owned subsidiary of MPC. As a result, MPC indirectly owns an approximate 64% limited partner interest in us and 100% of our non-economic general partner interests. Conflicts of interest may arise between MPC and its affiliates, including our general partner, on the one hand, and us and our unitholders, on the other hand. In resolving these conflicts, the general partner may favor its own interests and the interests of its affiliates, including MPC, over the interests of our common unitholders.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
We may acquire units to satisfy tax withholdings obligations in connection with the vesting of units issued to certain employees. There were no such units acquired during the three months ended September 30, 2018.
