	1	Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
	Company Businesses
	Sprague Resources LP (the “Partnership”) is a Delaware limited partnership formed on June 23, 2011 to engage in any lawful activity for which limited partnerships may be organized under the Delaware Revised Limited Partnership Act including, but not limited to, actions to form a limited liability company and/or acquire assets owned by Sprague Operating Resources LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and the Partnership’s operating company (the “Predecessor” and “OLLC”), an entity engaged in the sale of energy products, as well as materials handling operations.
	Unless the context otherwise requires, references to “Sprague Resources,” and the “Partnership,” when used in a historical context prior to October 30, 2013, refer to Sprague Operating Resources LLC, the “Predecessor” for accounting purposes and the successor to Sprague Energy Corp., also referenced as “the Predecessor” and when used in the present tense or prospectively, refer to Sprague Resources LP and its subsidiaries. Unless the context otherwise requires, references to “Axel Johnson” or the “Parent” refer to Axel Johnson Inc. and its controlled affiliates, collectively, other than Sprague Resources, its subsidiaries and its general partner. References to “Sprague Holdings” refer to Sprague Resources Holdings LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Axel Johnson and the owner of the General Partner. References to the “general partner” refer to Sprague Resources GP LLC.
	The Partnership is one of the largest independent wholesale distributors of refined products in the Northeast United States based on aggregate terminal capacity. The Partnership owns and/or operates a network of 15 refined products and materials handling terminals located in the Northeast United States. The Partnership also utilizes third-party terminals in the Northeast through which it sells or distributes refined products pursuant to rack, exchange and throughput agreements. The Partnership has four business segments: refined products, natural gas, materials handling and other operations. The refined products segment purchases a variety of refined products, such as heating oil, diesel, residual fuel oil, kerosene, jet fuel and gasoline (primarily from refining companies, trading organizations and producers), and sells them to wholesale and commercial customers. The natural gas segment purchases, sells and distributes natural gas to commercial and industrial customers in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic. The Partnership purchases the natural gas it sells from natural gas producers and trading companies. The materials handling segment offloads, stores and prepares for delivery a variety of customer-owned products, including asphalt, clay slurry, salt, gypsum, coal, petroleum coke, caustic soda, tallow, pulp and heavy equipment. The Partnership’s other operations include the purchase and distribution of coal and certain commercial trucking activities.
	Since 2007 and through September 30, 2012, the Predecessor, through its wholly-owned foreign subsidiary, Sprague Energy Canada Ltd., owned a 50% equity investment in 9047-1137 Quebec Inc. (“Kildair”). On October 1, 2012, the Predecessor acquired the remaining 50% equity interest in Kildair (see Note 3). Kildair’s primary business is the distribution of residual fuel oil and asphalt which are included in the refined products segment. Kildair’s results of operations are not included in the results of the Partnership’s operations as discussed below.
	In connection with the completion on October 30, 2013 of the initial public offering (the “IPO”) of limited partner interests of the Partnership, Axel Johnson Inc. (the “Parent” or “Axel Johnson”) contributed to Sprague Resources Holdings LLC (“Sprague Holdings”) all of the ownership interests in the Predecessor. The Predecessor distributed to a wholly owned subsidiary of Sprague Holdings certain assets and liabilities, including among others, the equity investment in Kildair and accounts receivable and cash in an aggregate amount equal to the net proceeds of the IPO. Sprague Holdings then contributed all of the ownership interests in the Predecessor to the Partnership. All of the assets and liabilities of the Predecessor contributed to the Partnership by Sprague Holdings were recorded at the Parent’s historical cost, as the foregoing transactions are among entities under common control. See Note 2—Initial Public Offering. Kildair is not included in the Partnership’s consolidated financial statements effective October 30, 2013, the IPO date, at which time Kildair was distributed to an affiliate of the Parent.
	Basis of Presentation
	The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Partnership commencing October 30, 2013, and the Predecessor and its wholly-owned subsidiaries through October 30, 2013. Intercompany transactions between the Partnership, Predecessor and its subsidiaries have been eliminated. Investments in affiliated companies, greater than 20% voting interest or where the Partnership or Predecessor exerts significant influence over an investee but lacks control over the investee are accounted for using the equity method. For the year ended December 31, 2013, the financial statements for the Partnership and the Predecessor are presented on a combined basis as the entities remain under common control.
	Use of Estimates
	The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities in the balance sheet and the reported revenues and expenses in the income statement. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Among the estimates made by management are asset valuations, the fair value of derivative assets and liabilities, environmental and legal obligations and income taxes.
	Revenue Recognition and Cost of Products Sold
	The Partnership recognizes revenue on refined products, natural gas and materials handling revenue-producing activities, net of applicable provisions for discounts and allowances. Allowances for cash discounts are recorded as a reduction of revenue at the time of sale. Cash discounts were $7.3 million, $7.5 million and $6.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. At the time of sale for all revenue producing activities, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery or service has occurred, the price is determinable and collectability is reasonably assured.
	Refined products revenue-producing activities are direct sales to customers including throughput and exchange locations. Revenue is recognized when the product is delivered. Revenue is not recognized on exchange agreements, which are entered into primarily to acquire refined products by taking delivery of products closer to the Partnership’s end markets. Net differentials or fees for exchange agreements are recorded within cost of products sold. Natural gas revenue-producing activities are direct sales to customers at various points on natural gas pipelines or at local distribution companies (i.e., utilities). Revenue is recognized when the product is delivered. Materials handling service revenue is recognized monthly over the contractual service period or when the service is rendered. Revenue from other activities, primarily coal distribution and transportation services, is recognized when the product is delivered or the services are rendered.
	The allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded to reflect an estimate of the ultimate realization of the Partnership accounts receivable and includes an assessment of customers’ creditworthiness and the probability of collection. The allowance reflects an estimate of specifically identified accounts at risk. The provision for the allowance for doubtful accounts is included in cost of products sold.
	Shipping costs that occur at the time of sale are included in cost of products sold. Various excise taxes collected at the time of sale and remitted to authorities are recorded on a net basis.
	Commodity Derivatives
	The Partnership utilizes derivative instruments consisting of futures contracts, forward contracts, swaps, options and other derivatives individually or in combination, to mitigate its exposure to fluctuations in prices of refined petroleum products and natural gas. On a limited basis and within the Partnership’s risk management guidelines, the Partnership utilizes futures contracts, forward contracts, swaps, options and other derivatives to generate profits from changes in market prices. The Partnership invests in futures and over-the-counter (“OTC”) transactions either on regulated exchanges or in the OTC market. Futures contracts are exchange-traded contractual commitments to either receive or deliver a standard amount or value of a commodity at a specified future date and price, with some futures contracts based on cash settlement rather than a delivery requirement. Futures exchanges typically require investors to provide margin deposits as security. OTC contracts, which may or may not require margin deposits as security, involve parties that have agreed either to exchange cash payments or deliver or receive the underlying commodity at a specified future date and price. The Partnership posts initial margin with futures transaction brokers, along with variation margin, which is paid or received on a daily basis, and is included in other current assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. In addition, the Partnership may either pay or receive margin based upon exposure with counterparties. Payments made by the Partnership are included in other current assets, whereas payments received by the Partnership are included in accrued liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Substantially all of the Partnership’s commodity derivative contracts outstanding as of December 31, 2013 will settle prior to June 30, 2015.
	The Partnership enters into some master netting arrangements to mitigate credit risk with significant counterparties. Master netting arrangements are standardized contracts that govern all specified transactions with the same counterparty and allow the Partnership to terminate all contracts upon occurrence of certain events, such as a counterparty’s default. The Partnership has elected not to offset the fair value of its derivatives, even where these arrangements provide the right to do so.
	The Partnership’s derivative instruments are recorded at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in net income (loss) or comprehensive income (loss) each period as appropriate. The Partnership’s fair value measurements are determined using the market approach and includes non-performance risk and time value of money considerations. Counterparty credit is considered for receivable balances, and the Partnership’s credit is considered for payable balances.
	The Partnership does not offset fair value amounts recognized for the right to reclaim cash collateral (a receivable) or the obligation to return cash collateral (a payable) against the fair value of derivative instruments executed with the same counterparty under the same master netting arrangement. The Partnership had no right to reclaim or obligation to return cash collateral as of December 31, 2013 or 2012.
	Interest Rate Derivatives
	The Partnership manages its exposure to variable LIBOR borrowings by using interest rate swaps to convert a portion of its variable rate debt to fixed rates. These interest rate swaps are designated as cash flow hedges and the effective portion of changes in fair value of the swaps are included as a component of comprehensive income and accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax, in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive (Loss) Income and in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, respectively. The ineffective portion of the changes in fair value of the swaps, which was not material, is recorded in earnings.
	To designate a derivative as a cash flow hedge, the Partnership documents at inception the assessment that the derivative will be highly effective in offsetting expected changes in cash flows from the item hedged. The assessment, updated at least quarterly, is based on the most recent relevant historical correlation between the derivative and the item hedged. If during the term of the derivative, the hedge is found to be less than highly effective, hedge accounting is prospectively discontinued and the remaining gains and losses are reclassified to income in the current period.
	Market and Credit Risk
	The Partnership manages the risk of market fluctuations in the price and transportation costs of its commodities through the use of derivative instruments. The volatility of prices for energy commodities can be significantly influenced by market supply and demand, changes in seasonal demand, weather conditions, transportation availability, and federal and state regulations. The Partnership monitors and manages its exposure to market risk on a daily basis in accordance with approved policies.
	The Partnership has a number of financial instruments that are potentially at risk including cash and cash equivalents, receivables and derivative contracts. The Partnership’s primary exposure is credit risk related to its receivables and counterparty performance risk related to the fair value of derivative assets, which is the loss that may result from a customer’s or counterparty’s non-performance. The Partnership uses credit policies to control credit risk, including utilizing an established credit approval process, monitoring customer and counterparty limits, employing credit mitigation measures such as analyzing customer financial statements, and accepting personal guarantees and various forms of collateral.
	The Partnership believes that the counterparties to its derivative contracts will be able to satisfy their contractual obligations. Credit risk is limited by the large number of customers and counterparties comprising the Partnership’s business and their dispersion across different industries.
	The Partnership’s cash is in demand deposit and other short-term investment accounts placed with federally insured financial institutions. Such deposit accounts at times may exceed federally insured limits. The Partnership has not experienced any losses on such accounts.
	Fair Value Measurements
	The Partnership’s derivative instruments are recorded at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in net income or other comprehensive income each period as appropriate. The Partnership’s fair value measurements are determined using the market approach and includes non-performance risk and time value of money considerations. Counterparty credit is considered for receivable balances, and the Partnership’s credit is considered for payable balances.
	The Partnership determines fair value in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, “Fair Value Measurement” which established a hierarchy for the inputs used to measure the fair value of financial assets and liabilities based on the source of the input, which generally range from quoted prices for identical instruments in a principal trading market (Level 1) to estimates determined using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). Multiple inputs may be used to measure fair value, however, the level of fair value is based on the lowest significant input level within this fair value hierarchy.
	Details on the methods and assumptions used to determine the fair values are as follows:
	Fair value measurements based on Level 1 inputs: Measurements that are most observable and are based on quoted prices of identical instruments obtained from the principal markets in which they are traded. Closing prices are both readily available and representative of fair value. Market transactions occur with sufficient frequency and volume to assure liquidity.
	Fair value measurements based on Level 2 inputs: Measurements derived indirectly from observable inputs or from quoted prices from markets that are less liquid are considered Level 2. Measurements based on Level 2 inputs include over-the-counter derivative instruments that are priced on an exchange traded curve, but have contractual terms that are not identical to exchange traded contracts. The Partnership utilizes fair value measurements based on Level 2 inputs for its fixed forward contracts, over-the-counter commodity price swaps, interest rate swaps and forward currency contracts.
	Fair value measurements based on Level 3 inputs: Measurements that are least observable are estimated from significant unobservable inputs determined from sources with little or no market activity for comparable contracts or for positions with longer durations.
	Earnings (Loss) Per Unit
	The Partnership computes income per unit using the two-class method. Net income (loss) attributable to common unitholders and subordinated unitholders for purposes of the basic income (loss) per unit computation is allocated between the common unitholders and subordinated unitholders by applying the provisions of the partnership agreement. Under the two-class method, any excess of distributions declared over net income is allocated to the partners based on their respective sharing of income specified in the partnership agreement. Net income (loss) per unit is determined by dividing the net income allocated to the common unitholders and the subordinated unitholders under the two-class method by the number of common units and subordinated units outstanding at December 31, 2013.
	Sprague Holdings owns all of the outstanding subordinated units and the incentive distribution rights (“IDR”) as of December 31, 2013. Pursuant to the partnership agreement, to the extent that the quarterly distributions exceed certain targets, Sprague Holdings is entitled to receive certain incentive distributions that will result in more net income proportionately being allocated to Sprague Holdings than to the other holders of common units.
	Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification 260 (“ASC 260”) — “Earnings per Share” addresses the computation of earnings per share by entities that have issued securities other than common stock that contractually entitle the holder to participate in dividends and earnings of the entity. The application of ASC 260 may have an impact on earnings per limited partner unit in future periods if there are material differences between net income and actual cash distributions or if other participating units are issued.
	Cash and Cash Equivalents
	Cash and cash equivalents include cash and highly liquid investments which are readily convertible into cash and have maturities of three months or less when purchased.
	Inventories
	The Partnership’s inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. Cost is primarily determined using the first-in, first-out method, except for Kildair, the Predecessor’s Canadian subsidiary, which used the weighted average method. Inventory consists of petroleum products, natural gas, asphalt and coal. The Partnership uses derivative instruments, primarily futures, forwards and swaps, to economically hedge substantially all of its inventory.
	Property, Plant and Equipment, Net
	Property, plant and equipment, net are recorded at historical cost. Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over the following estimated useful lives:
	Information technology equipment and software		3 to 7 years
	Furniture and fixtures		5 to 10 years
	Plant, machinery and equipment		5 to 30 years
	Building and leasehold improvements		10 to 25 years
	Leasehold improvements are amortized over the term of the lease or the estimated useful life of the improvement, whichever is shorter. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Costs and related accumulated depreciation of properties sold or otherwise disposed of are removed from the respective accounts, and any resulting gains or losses are recorded at that time.
	Long-lived Assets
	The Partnership evaluates the carrying value of its property, plant and equipment and certain intangible assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable based on estimated future undiscounted cash flows. Future cash flow projections include assumptions of future sales levels, the impact of cost reduction programs, and the level of working capital needed to support each business. To the extent the carrying amount is not recoverable based on undiscounted cash flows, the amount of impairment is measured by the difference between the carrying value and the fair value of the asset. During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Predecessor recorded an impairment of $0.5 million in connection with a terminal closure. No impairment charges were recorded for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2011.
	Purchase Price Allocation
	The Predecessor has made a number of acquisitions in the past and the Partnership may continue to make acquisitions in the future. The Partnership and the Predecessor allocate the cost of the acquired entity to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their respective fair values at the date of acquisition. Long-lived assets (principally property, plant and equipment and goodwill) generally represent large components of these acquisitions. In addition to goodwill, intangible assets acquired have included customer relationships and non-compete agreements. Goodwill is calculated as the excess of the cost of the acquired entity over the net of the fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. Customer relationships and non-compete agreements are valued based on an excess earnings or income approach based on projected cash flows.
	Other assets acquired and liabilities assumed typically include, but are not limited to, inventory, accounts receivable, accounts payable and other working capital items. Because of their short-term nature, the fair values of these other assets and liabilities generally approximate the book values on the acquired entity’s balance sheet.
	Goodwill
	Goodwill is not amortized but tested for impairment at the reporting unit level, at least annually (as of October 31 each year), by determining the fair value of the reporting unit and comparing it to its carrying value. The Partnership assesses the fair value of its reporting units based on a discounted cash flow valuation model (Level 3 measurement). The key assumptions used are discount rates and growth rates, applied to cash flow projections. These assumptions contemplate business, market and overall economic conditions.
	After applying the discounted cash flow methods to measure the fair value of its reporting units, including the consideration of reasonably likely adverse changes in the rates and assumptions described above, the Partnership determined that there have been no goodwill impairments to date. In performing the discounted cash flow analysis, the Partnership used a range of discount rate assumptions to evaluate the sensitivity on the fair values resulting from the discounted cash flow valuation.
	Intangibles and Other Assets, Net
	Intangibles and other assets, net consist of intangible assets with finite lives, including deferred debt issuance costs, customer relationships and covenants not to compete. Intangibles and other assets are amortized over their respective estimated useful lives. The Partnership evaluates its intangible and other long-lived assets for impairment when indicators are present.
	Income Taxes
	The Partnership is organized as a pass-through entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As a result, the partners are responsible for federal income taxes based on their respective share of taxable income. Net income for financial statement purposes may differ significantly from taxable income reportable to unitholders as a result of differences between the tax bases and financial reporting bases of assets and liabilities and the taxable income allocation requirements under the partnership agreement. The Partnership, however, is subject to a statutory requirement that non-qualifying income cannot exceed 10% of total gross income, determined on a calendar year basis under the applicable income tax provisions. If the amount of non-qualifying income exceeds this statutory limit, the Partnership would be taxed as a corporation. Accordingly, certain activities that generate non-qualifying income are conducted through a taxable corporate subsidiary, Sprague Energy Solutions, Inc. Sprague Energy Solutions, Inc. is subject to federal and state income tax and pays any income taxes related to the results of its operations. For the year ended December 31, 2013, the Partnership’s non-qualifying income did not exceed the statutory limit. The Partnership is subject to income tax and franchise tax in certain domestic state and local jurisdictions.
Prior to the IPO, the Predecessor was not a separate taxable entity for U.S. federal and certain state income tax purposes and its results were included in the consolidated U.S. federal and certain state income tax returns of Lexa International Corporation, which is the sole shareholder of the Predecessor’s Parent. Income tax provisions and benefits, related tax payments, and current and deferred tax balances were prepared as if the Predecessor operated as a stand-alone taxpayer for all periods presented in accordance with the tax sharing agreement between the Predecessor and the Parent. Under the tax sharing agreement, the Predecessor is obligated to pay federal and certain state taxes to the Parent. In the event that the Parent does not have a consolidated liability for federal or certain state taxes, the Predecessor is not obligated to pay the Parent for such taxes and all such amounts are reflected as capital contributions.
Income taxes are provided using the asset and liability method prescribed by ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” Under this method, income taxes (e.g., deferred tax assets, deferred tax liabilities and taxes currently payable and tax expense) are recorded based on amounts refundable or payable in the current year and include the impact of temporary differences between the amount of assets and liabilities recognized for financial reporting purposes and such amounts recognized for tax purposes. Deferred taxes are measured by applying currently enacted tax rates. The Partnership establishes a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that these assets will not be realized.
The Partnership recognizes the financial statement effect of a tax position only when management believes that it is more likely than not, that based on the technical merits, the position will be sustained upon examination. The Partnership classifies interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax positions as income tax expense.
Foreign Currency
The functional currency of the Predecessor’s foreign subsidiary, which owns Kildair, is the Canadian dollar. All balance sheet asset and liability accounts of the Predecessor’s foreign subsidiary are translated to U.S. dollars using rates of exchange in effect at the balance sheet dates, and its results of operations are translated using average exchange rates for the relevant period. Resulting translation adjustments are recorded as a component of member’s equity in accumulated other comprehensive loss.
Kildair converts receivables and payables denominated in other than their functional currency at the exchange rate as of the balance sheet date. Kildair utilizes forward currency contracts to manage its exposure to currency fluctuations of certain of its transactions that are denominated in U.S. dollars. These forward currency exchange contracts are recorded at fair value at the balance sheet date and changes in fair value are recognized in net income as these forward currency contracts have not been designated as hedges. For the period January 1, 2013 to October 29, 2013 and for the year ended December 31, 2012, transaction exchange gains or losses, except for certain transaction gains or losses related to intercompany receivable and payables, amounted to losses of $3.8 million and $1.4 million, respectively, the majority of which is recorded in cost of products sold in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Predecessor’s transaction exchange gains or losses were not significant for the year ended December 31, 2011.
Transaction gains and losses related to intercompany receivables and payables not anticipated to be settled in the foreseeable future are excluded from the determination of net income and are recorded as a translation adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income as a component of member’s equity.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02, “Reporting Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income,” which amends ASC 220, “Comprehensive Income.” The amended guidance requires entities to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. Additionally, entities are required to present, either on the face of the financial statements or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income. The amended guidance does not change the current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income. The Predecessor adopted ASU 2013-02 as of January 1, 2013 and it did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. Prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation reflecting the impact of the adoption of ASU 2013-02.
In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-11, “Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities.” ASU 2011-11 requires an entity to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements to enable users of its financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on its financial position. Entities are required to disclose both gross and net information about these instruments. ASU 2011-11 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. The Predecessor adopted ASU 2011-11 as of January 1, 2013 and it did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements, but did result in additional disclosure regarding fair value measurement. See Note 17.

Initial Public Offering	'
	2	Initial Public Offering
	On October 30, 2013, in connection with the closing of the IPO, 8,500,000 of the Partnership’s common units, representing a 42.2% limited partner interest in the Partnership, were sold to the public at an initial public offering price of $18.00 per unit. Net proceeds of the sale of the common units were $140.3 million after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions, the structuring fee and offering expenses. As of December 31, 2013, Sprague Holdings owns 1,571,970 common units and 10,071,970 subordinated units, representing an aggregate 57.8% limited partner interest in the Partnership.
	The following table is a reconciliation of cash proceeds from the IPO (in millions):
	Gross proceeds		$	153.0
	Less: Underwriting and structuring fees and other offering expenses			(12.7	)
	Net proceeds from the IPO—used for reduction of working capital facility		$	140.3
	Sprague Holdings owns, directly or indirectly, all of the Partnership’s subordinated units. The principal difference between the Partnership’s common units and subordinated units is that during the subordination period, the common units have the right to receive distributions of cash from distributable cash flow each quarter in an amount equal to $0.4125 per common unit, which is the amount defined in the partnership agreement as the minimum quarterly distribution, plus any arrearages in the payment of the minimum quarterly distribution on the common units from prior quarters, before any distributions of cash from distributable cash flow may be made on the subordinated units. Furthermore, no arrearages will accrue or be paid on the subordinated units. Upon expiration of the subordination period, any outstanding arrearages in payment of the minimum quarterly distribution on the common units will be extinguished (not paid), each outstanding subordinated unit will immediately convert into one common unit and will thereafter participate pro rata with the other common units in distributions.
	Sprague Holdings currently holds incentive distribution rights that entitle it to receive increasing percentages, up to a maximum of 50.0%, of the cash the Partnership distributes from operating surplus (as defined below) in excess of $0.474375 per unit per quarter. The maximum distribution of 50.0% does not include any distributions that Sprague Holdings may receive on any limited partner units that it owns.
	The partnership agreement contains provisions for the allocation of net income and loss to the unitholders. For purposes of maintaining partner capital accounts, the partnership agreement specifies that items of income and loss shall be allocated among the partners in accordance with their respective percentage interest. Normal allocations according to percentage interests are made after giving effect, if any, to priority income allocations in an amount equal to incentive cash distributions allocated 100% to Sprague Holdings.
	Contribution, Conveyance and Assumption Agreement
	On October 30, 2013, in connection with the closing of the IPO, the Parent, Sprague Holdings, the Partnership, Sprague Resources GP LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and the general partner of the Partnership (the “General Partner”), Sprague Massachusetts Properties LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly owned subsidiary of Sprague Holdings (“Sprague Massachusetts”), Sprague International Properties LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly owned subsidiary of Sprague Holdings (“Sprague International”), Sprague Canadian Properties LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly owned subsidiary of Sprague International (“Sprague Canadian”) and the OLLC entered into a contribution, conveyance and assumption agreement (the “Contribution Agreement”). Pursuant to the Contribution Agreement, among other things, Sprague Holdings conveyed all of the ownership interests in the Predecessor to the Partnership (through the OLLC), in exchange for (a) 1,571,970 common units, representing a 7.8% limited partner interest in the Partnership, (b) 10,071,970 subordinated units, representing a 50% limited partner interest in the Partnership, (c) all of the equity interests in the Partnership classified as incentive distribution rights under the amended and restated agreement of limited partnership of the Partnership and (d) the right to receive the deferred issuance and distribution (as defined in the Contribution Agreement).
	Omnibus Agreement
	On October 30, 2013, in connection with the closing of the IPO, the Partnership, the Parent, Sprague Holdings and the General Partner, entered into an omnibus agreement (the “Omnibus Agreement”). The Omnibus Agreement addresses the agreement of the Parent to offer to the Partnership, and to cause the Parent’s controlled affiliates to offer to the Partnership, opportunities to acquire certain businesses and assets and the obligation of Sprague Holdings to indemnify the Partnership for certain liabilities. Pursuant to the Omnibus Agreement, the Parent agreed to continue to provide credit support to the Partnership, consistent with past practice, through December 31, 2016, if and to the extent such services are necessary and reasonable, and the Partnership agreed to use its commercially reasonable efforts to reduce, and eventually eliminate, the need for trade credit support from the Parent. As of December 31, 2013, Axel Johnson provided the Partnership with approximately $80.2 million of outstanding trade credit support. The Omnibus Agreement may be terminated (other than with respect to the indemnification provisions) by any party to the Omnibus Agreement in the event that the Parent, directly or indirectly, owns less than 50% of the voting equity power of the General Partner.
	Services Agreement
	On October 30, 2013, in connection with the closing of the IPO, the Partnership, the General Partner and Sprague Holdings, entered into an operational services agreement (the “Services Agreement”). Pursuant to the Services Agreement, the General Partner will provide certain general and administrative and operational services to the Partnership and Sprague Holdings, and the Partnership and Sprague Holdings will reimburse the General Partner for all costs and expenses incurred in connection with providing such services to the Partnership and Sprague Holdings. The Services Agreement does not limit the amount that may be reimbursed or paid by the Partnership to the General Partner. The initial term of the Services Agreement will expire on October 30, 2018. The Services Agreement will automatically renew at the end of the initial term for successive one-year terms until terminated in accordance with the terms thereof. The Services Agreement does not limit the ability of the officers and employees of the General Partner to provide services to other affiliates of Sprague Holdings or unaffiliated third parties. See Note 12—Related Party Transactions.
	Long-Term Incentive Plan
	The General Partner adopted the Sprague Resources LP 2013 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “LTIP”) effective immediately prior to the effective date of the IPO, for the benefit of employees, consultants and directors of the General Partner and its affiliates, who provide services to the General Partner or an affiliate. The LTIP provides the Partnership with the flexibility to grant unit options, restricted units, phantom units, unit appreciation rights, cash awards, distribution equivalent rights, substitute awards and other unit-based awards or any combination of the foregoing.
	The LTIP limits the number of common units that may be delivered, pursuant to vested awards, to 800,000 common units. On January 1 of each calendar year occurring after the second anniversary of the effective date and prior to the expiration of the LTIP, the total number of common units reserved and available for issuance under the LTIP will increase by 200,000 common units.
	The LTIP will expire upon the earlier of (i) its termination by the board of directors of the General Partner, (ii) the date common units are no longer available under the LTIP for grants or (iii) the tenth anniversary of the date the LTIP was approved by the General Partner.

	3	Business Combinations
	Bridgeport Terminal
	On July 31, 2013, the Predecessor purchased an oil terminal in Bridgeport, Connecticut for $20.7 million. This deep water facility includes 13 storage tanks with 1.3 million barrels of storage capacity for gasoline and distillate products with 12 storage tanks and 1.1 million barrels currently in service. The terminal will provide throughput services to third-parties for branded gasoline sales, and is expected to increase the Predecessor’s marketing of refined products, both gasoline and distillate, in the Connecticut market.
	The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination and was financed with a capital contribution of $10.0 million from the Parent (see Note 12—“Related Party Transactions”) and $10.7 million of borrowings under the acquisition line of the Predecessor’s credit facility.
	The following table summarizes the fair values of the assets acquired:
	Property, plant and equipment		$	20,190
	Intangible assets—customer relationships			510
	Net assets acquired		$	20,700
	The Predecessor incurred $0.2 million of acquisition related costs that were recorded as selling, general and administrative expense at the acquisition date.
	Kildair
	Prior to October 1, 2012
	In October 2007, the Predecessor purchased a 50% equity interest in Kildair for $38.7 million. The share purchase agreement provided for the Predecessor to acquire the remaining 50% of Kildair in 2012, subject to terms and conditions within the discretion of the Predecessor, for an additional $27.5 million Canadian, plus a potential earn-out payment if EBITDA over the five year period exceeded $55.0 million Canadian. The difference between the acquisition cost and the fair value of net assets acquired in October 2007 of $13.2 million was allocated to various assets and liabilities based on their respective fair values with amortization recorded over the useful lives of the assets or liabilities that gave rise to the difference. Through September 30, 2012, the investment in Kildair was accounted for using the equity method of accounting and the Predecessor’s share of its results were recorded as equity in net loss of foreign affiliate in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
	Summary financial information for Kildair, not adjusted for the percentage of ownership held by the Predecessor, follows:
			From January 1, 2012			For the Year
			through			Ended
			September 30, 2012			December 31, 2011
	Net sales		$	418,203		$	633,099
	Gross profit			13,571			36,460
	Income from operations			1,865			15,200
	Net (loss) income			(1,417	)		7,470
	The Predecessor’s equity share of earnings from its investment in Kildair, which includes amortization of the excess of the fair value over the cost of the assets acquired, was a loss of $1.0 million, net of tax, for the period from January 1, 2012 to September 30, 2012 and was income of $3.6 million, net of tax, for the year ended December 31, 2011.
	From October 1, 2012 through October 30, 2013
	On October 1, 2012 (the “acquisition date”), the Predecessor acquired control of Kildair by purchasing the remaining 50% equity interest. Since the acquisition date, the assets, liabilities and results of operations of Kildair have been consolidated into the Predecessor’s consolidated financial statements. Kildair is not included in the Partnesrship’s consolidated financial statements effective October 30, 2013, the IPO date, at which time Kildair was distributed to an affiliate of the Parent.
	Kildair has 3.2 million barrels of storage capacity and an infrastructure that includes an asphalt plant, loading racks, testing laboratory and a marine dock on the St. Lawrence River. The purchase of this facility augments the Predecessor’s supply, storage and marketing opportunities and provides new opportunities in asphalt marketing and expanded materials handling capabilities. The acquisition-date fair value of the consideration consisted of cash of $73.0 million (including an $8.7 million redemption of preferred shares) and the Predecessor’s previous 50% equity interest. The Predecessor recognized a gain of $1.5 million as a result of re-measuring to fair value its prior equity interest held before the business combination. The gain is calculated as the difference between the acquisition-date fair value ($57.0 million) and the book value immediately prior to the acquisition date ($55.5 million). The book value of the equity interest included currency translation adjustment balances in accumulated other comprehensive loss. The fair value was determined using valuation techniques including the discounted cash flow approach and the market multiple approach (enterprise value of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization). The discounted cash flow approach incorporates assumptions including estimated future cash flows and a discount rate that reflects consideration of risk free rates as well as market risk.
	The market multiple approach incorporates market information from comparable companies. The gain, which resulted in no income tax expense, was recorded in 2012 as gain on acquisition of a business in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
	The following table summarizes the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date:
	Accounts receivable		$	47,050
	Inventory			126,796
	Other current assets			24,255
	Property, plant and equipment			71,943
	Intangible assets			13,947
	Total identifiable assets acquired			283,991
	Current liabilities			54,975
	Debt			92,370
	Other liabilities			19,210
	Contingencies			—
	Total liabilities assumed			166,555
	Net identifiable assets acquired			117,436
	Goodwill			12,611
	Net assets acquired		$	130,047
	The Predecessor determined the fair value of property, plant and equipment using the replacement cost approach and determined the fair value of intangible assets using income approaches that incorporated projected cash flows and relief from royalty methodologies. The Predecessor’s analysis of fair value factors indicated that for substantially all other assets and liabilities that book value approximated fair value.
	The goodwill recognized is primarily attributable to Kildair’s assembled workforce, its reputation in Eastern Canada and the Northeast United States and the residual cash flow the Predecessor believes that it will be able to generate. None of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.
	The Predecessor recognized $0.3 million of acquisition related costs that were expensed in 2012 and are included in selling, general and administrative expense in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.
	The amount of net sales and net loss of Kildair included in the Predecessor’s Consolidated Statements of Operations for the period from October 1, 2012 to December 31, 2012 are as follows:
			For the period from
			October 1, 2012 to
			December 31, 2012
	Net sales		$	167,112
	Net loss			(4,489	)
	The following represents the pro forma consolidated net sales and net (loss) income as if Kildair had been included in the consolidated results of the Predecessor for the entire years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011:
			For the Years Ended December 31,
			2012			2011
	Net sales		$	4,462,110		$	4,430,526
	Net (loss) income			(15,615	)		29,419
	These amounts have been calculated after applying the Predecessor’s accounting policies and adjusting the results of Kildair to reflect the additional cost of products sold and depreciation and amortization that would have been charged assuming the fair value adjustments to inventory; property, plant and equipment; and intangible assets had been applied on January 1, 2012 and 2011, together with the consequential tax effects.
	Rensselaer Terminal
	On September 30, 2011, the Predecessor purchased an oil terminal in Rensselaer, New York for $3.4 million. In addition, the Predecessor purchased approximately $4.4 million of inventory that was stored at the terminal. The fair value of the identifiable assets acquired was $13.9 million which exceeded the purchase price. As a result, the Predecessor reassessed the identification, recognition and measurement of the identifiable assets and concluded that the valuation procedures and resulting measures were appropriate. Accordingly, the Predecessor recognized a gain of $6.0 million associated with the acquisition, which is included in gain on acquisition of business in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The terminal has 0.6 million barrels of storage capacity, with 0.3 million barrels currently in service, and primarily handles distillate oil products. The purchase of this facility provides enhanced dock facilities and augments the Predecessor’s supply storage and petroleum marketing opportunities. The Predecessor believes that it was able to acquire the terminal for less than fair value of its assets because of the seller’s strategic intent to exit a non-core business operation. This acquisition has been accounted for as a business combination.
	The following table presents the allocation of the $7.8 million purchase price to the fair value of the acquired assets and resulting gain on acquisition of business:
	Assets purchased:
	Inventories		$	4,445
	Land and improvements			1,750
	Plant and equipment			7,666
	Total fair value of assets purchased			13,861
Gain on acquisition of business			(6,016	)
Total purchase price		$	7,845

	The Partnership recorded amortization expense related to intangible assets of $2.4 million, $0.9 million and $0.4 million during the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The amortization of intangible assets is recorded in depreciation and amortization expense in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.
	During the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Predecessor acquired intangible assets of $0.5 million (consisting of customer relationships) and $13.9 million (consisting of $9.9 million of customer relationships and $4.0 million of other intangible assets), respectively. See Note 3—Acquisitions.
	Amortization of intangible assets is calculated by the sum-of-the-years’-digits method over the periods of expected benefit. The Partnership believes the sum-of-the-years’-digits method of amortization properly reflects the timing of the recognition of the economic benefits realized from its intangible assets. The estimated future annual amortization expense of intangible assets for the years ending December 31, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018 is $0.4 million, $0.3 million, $0.3 million, $0.2 million and $0.1 million, respectively. As acquisitions and dispositions occur in the future, these amounts may vary.

	Credit Agreement
	The Partnership’s revolving credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) was entered into on October 30, 2013 and has a maturity date of October 30, 2018. The Credit Agreement is secured by substantially all of the Partnership’s assets and includes a $750.0 million working capital facility used to fund working capital and letters of credit and a $250.0 million acquisition facility. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest based on LIBOR, plus a specified margin, which is a function of the utilization of the Credit Agreement for the working capital facility and leverage ratio for the acquisition facility.
	Prior to the IPO, the Predecessor’s revolving credit agreement (the “Predecessor Credit Agreement”) was refinanced in May 2010 and has a maturity date of May 28, 2014. The Predecessor Credit Agreement was secured by substantially all of the Predecessor’s assets and included a $625.0 million working capital facility used to fund working capital and letters of credit and a $175.0 million acquisition facility. Borrowings under the Predecessor Credit Agreement bore interest based on LIBOR, plus a specified margin, which is a function of the utilization of the Predecessor Credit Agreement.
	As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, working capital facility borrowings were $351.6 million and $347.3 million, respectively, and outstanding letters of credit were $73.4 million and $92.0 million, respectively. The working capital facility is subject to borrowing base reporting and as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, had a borrowing base of $573.8 million and $529.3 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2013, excess availability under the working capital facility was $148.8 million.
	As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, acquisition line borrowings were $107.9 million and $117.4 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2013, excess availability under the acquisition facility was $142.1 million.
	The weighted average interest rate at December 31, 2013 and 2012 was 2.9% and 3.4%, respectively. The current portion of the credit agreement at December 31, 2013 and 2012 represents the amounts intended to be repaid during the following twelve month period.
	The Credit Agreement contains certain restrictions and covenants among which are a minimum level of net working capital, fixed charge coverage and debt leverage ratios and limitations on the incurrence of indebtedness. The Credit Agreement limits the Partnership’s ability to make distributions in the event of defaults as defined in the Credit Agreement. As of December 31, 2013, the Partnership is in compliance with these financial covenants.
	Credit Agreement—Canadian Subsidiary
	The Predecessor’s Canadian subsidiary utilizes a revolving credit agreement (the “Canadian Credit Agreement”) that has a maturity date of April 30, 2014, and is secured by substantially all of the Canadian subsidiary’s assets. The Canadian Credit Agreement is used to fund working capital, letters of credit and letters of guarantee for an amount up to $107.0 million. Amounts can be borrowed in either U.S. or Canadian dollars. The loan bears interest at the prime rate plus 1.5% or the bank’s cost of funds plus 3.0% and is renewable annually. The weighted average interest rate at December 31, 2012 was 4.5%.
	As of December 31, 2012, borrowings under the Canadian Credit Agreement were $35.2 million. The Canadian Credit Agreement was subject to borrowing base reporting and as of December 31, 2012, had a borrowing base of $89.1 million. As of December 31, 2012, excess availability under the Canadian Credit Agreement was $53.9 million.
	The terms of the Canadian Credit Agreement required the Canadian subsidiary to maintain specific levels of working capital, total liabilities to equity ratio, maintenance of a fixed charge coverage ratio, a limit on capital expenditures and a maximum net position for products consisting of heavy fuel oil and asphalt. Furthermore, the Canadian subsidiary was restricted in its ability to pay a dividend if such dividend would place them in default on any of the aforementioned covenants. The Predecessor entered into an “undertaking” with the Canadian Credit Agreement lenders whereby in the event of noncompliance with certain of these covenants the Predecessor would advance to the Canadian subsidiary up to $20.0 million in the form of subordinated notes to satisfy any such deficiency. As of December 31, 2012, the Predecessor advanced $10.4 million under this “undertaking” and, as a result, the Canadian subsidiary was in compliance with these financial covenants. This debt was contributed to an affiliate of Sprague Holdings in connection with the IPO.
	Unsecured Debt
	During September 2012, the Predecessor borrowed $25.0 million of unsecured debt bearing interest at LIBOR (0.2% at December 31, 2012) plus 4.0%. The unsecured debt is owed to a third-party financial institution and was originally scheduled to mature on September 24, 2013. On September 5, 2013, this note was extended to February 28, 2014. This debt was contributed to an affiliate of Sprague Holdings in connection with the IPO.
	Term Debt—Canadian Subsidiary
	The Predecessor’s Canadian subsidiary has a term loan outstanding that is payable in monthly installments of approximately $0.2 million, with a final maturity due in June 2014. Interest is payable at the Canadian prime rate (3.0% at December 31, 2012) plus 2.2%. This debt was contributed to an affiliate of Sprague Holdings in connection with the IPO.

	The Port Authority terminal obligations represent long-term obligations of the Partnership to a third party that constructed dock facilities at the Partnership’s Searsport, Maine terminal. These amounts will be repaid by future wharfage fees incurred by the Partnership for the use of these facilities. The short-term portion of these obligations of $0.6 million and $0.7 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, is included in accrued liabilities and represents an estimate of the expected future wharfage fees for the ensuing year. The Partnership has exclusive rights to the use of the dock facilities through a license and operating agreement (“License Agreement”), which expires in 2033. The License Agreement provides the Partnership the option to purchase the dock facilities at any time at an amount equal to the remaining license fees due. The related dock facilities assets are treated as a capital lease and are included in property, plant and equipment.
	Postretirement benefit obligations are comprised of actuarially determined postretirement healthcare, life insurance and other postretirement benefits. See Note 15.
	The environmental abatement obligation is undiscounted and relates to an agreement that was assumed as part of the acquisition of an oil terminal in New Bedford, Massachusetts in 2005. Based on the agreement, the Predecessor is obligated to perform certain environmental abatement activities on or before December 28, 2017. This liability was distributed to Sprague Holdings in connection with the IPO.

	14	Income Taxes
	Prior to the completion of the IPO, the Predecessor prepared its income tax provision as if it operated as a stand-alone taxpayer for all periods presented in accordance with a pre-existing tax sharing agreement between the Predecessor and the Parent. With the completion of the IPO on October 30, 2013, the Partnership is now treated as a pass-through entity for federal income tax purposes. As a result, all income, expenses, gains, losses and tax credits generated flow through to its owners and, accordingly, do not result in a provision for federal income taxes and certain state income taxes.
	The Partnership is generally not subject to U.S. state and federal income tax, with the exception in certain domestic jurisdictions based on the Partnership’s sourced taxable gross margin. The Partnership’s taxable income or loss, which may vary substantially from the net income or net loss reported in the Consolidated Statements of Operations, is includable in the federal and state income tax returns of each unitholder.
	The income tax (benefit) provision attributable to operations is summarized as follows:

	The Predecessor is not a separate taxable entity for U.S. federal and certain state income tax purposes and its results are included in the consolidated U.S. federal and certain state income tax returns of Lexa International Corporation, which is the sole stockholder of the Parent. Income tax provisions and benefits, related tax payments, and current and deferred tax balances have been prepared as if the Predecessor operated as a stand-alone taxpayer for all periods presented in accordance with the tax sharing agreement between the Predecessor and the Parent. Under the tax sharing agreement, the Predecessor is obligated to pay federal and certain state taxes to the Parent. In the event that the Parent does not have a consolidated liability for federal or certain state taxes, the Predecessor is not obligated to pay the Parent for such taxes and all such amounts are reflected as capital contributions. For the period from January 1, 2013 through October 29, 2013 and the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Predecessor received $8.8 million, $2.2 million and $7.9 million, respectively, of non-cash capital contributions from its Parent under the tax sharing agreement.
	The Predecessor’s and Partnership’s policy is to accrue interest and penalties on uncertain tax positions as a component of income tax expense. During the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, the interest and penalties recognized by the Predecessor and Partnership were immaterial. The Partnership and its subsidiaries are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and certain states for the period ended December 31, 2013.

	Pension Plans
	Through the General Partner, the Partnership participates in a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan, the Axel Johnson Inc. Retirement Plan (the “Plan”), sponsored by the Parent. Benefits under the Plan were frozen as of December 31, 2003, and are based on a participant’s years of service and compensation through December 31, 2003. The Plan’s assets are invested principally in equity and fixed income securities. The Parent’s policy is to satisfy the minimum funding requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”).
	Through the General Partner, the Partnership also participates in an unfunded pension plan, the Axel Johnson Inc. Retirement Restoration Plan, for employees whose benefits under the defined benefit pension plan were reduced due to limitations under federal tax laws. Benefits under this plan were frozen as of December 31, 2003.
	Both the Plan and the Retirement Restoration Plan are administered by the Parent. The costs of these benefits are based on the Partnership’s portion of the projected benefit obligations under these plans. Charges related to these employee benefit plans were $1.7 million, $1.2 million and $0.7 million during the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
	Eligible employees also receive a defined contribution retirement benefit generally equal to a defined percentage of their eligible compensation. This contribution by the Partnership to employee accounts in Axel Johnson Inc.’s Thrift and Defined Contribution Plan is in addition to any Partnership match on 401(k) contributions that employees currently choose to make. The Partnership made total contributions to these plans of $3.1 million, $3.1 million and $3.0 million during the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
	Other Postretirement Benefits
	The Parent and some of its subsidiaries, which include the Partnership, have a number of health care and life insurance benefit plans covering eligible employees who reach retirement age while working for the Parent. The plans are not funded. In general, employees hired after December 31, 1990, are not eligible for postretirement health care benefits. The Partnership has recorded postretirement expense of $0.4 million, $0.5 million, and $0.5 million during the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively, related to these plans.

	The Partnership is a wholesale and commercial distributor engaged in the purchase, storage, distribution and sale of refined products and natural gas, and also provides storage and handling services for a broad range of materials. The Partnership has four reporting operating segments that comprise the structure used by the chief operating decision makers (CEO and COO) to make key operating decisions and assess performance. These segments are refined products, natural gas, materials handling and other activities. Segment information includes Kildair since the acquisition date of October 1, 2012 and through October 30, 2013, the date Kildair was contributed to an affiliate of Sprague Holdings in connection with the IPO.
	The Partnership’s refined products segment purchases a variety of refined products, such as heating oil, diesel fuel, residual fuel oil, asphalt, kerosene, jet fuel and gasoline (primarily from refining companies, trading organizations and producers), and sells them to its customers. The Partnership has wholesale customers who resell the refined products they purchase from the Partnership and commercial customers who consume the refined products they purchase from the Partnership. The Partnership’s wholesale customers consist of home heating oil retailers and diesel fuel and gasoline resellers. The Partnership’s commercial customers include federal and state agencies, municipalities, regional transit authorities, large industrial companies, hospitals and educational institutions.
	The Partnership’s natural gas segment purchases, sells and distributes natural gas to commercial and industrial customers in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic states. The Partnership purchases natural gas from natural gas producers and trading companies.
	The Partnership’s materials handling segment offloads, stores, and/or prepares for delivery a variety of customer-owned products, including asphalt, clay slurry, salt, gypsum, coal, petroleum coke, caustic soda, tallow, pulp and heavy equipment. These services are fee-based activities which are generally conducted under multi-year agreements.
	The Partnership’s other activities include the purchase, sale and distribution of coal and commercial trucking activities unrelated to its refined products segment. Other activities are not reported separately as they represent less than 10% of consolidated net sales and adjusted gross margin.
	The Partnership evaluates segment performance based on adjusted gross margin, which is gross margin decreased by total commodity derivative gains and losses included in net income (loss) and increased by realized commodity derivative gains and losses included in net income (loss), before allocations of corporate, terminal and trucking operating costs, depreciation, amortization, and interest. Based on the way the business is managed, it is not reasonably possible for the Partnership to allocate the components of operating costs and expenses among the operating segments. There were no significant intersegment sales for any of the years presented below.
	Summarized financial information for the Partnership’s reportable segments for the years ended December 31 is presented in the table below:

	The Partnership had no single customer whose revenue was greater than 10% of total net sales for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The Partnership’s foreign sales, primarily sales of refined products, asphalt and natural gas to its customers in Canada, were $230.9 million and $96.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The Partnership’s foreign sales were not significant for the year ended December 31, 2011.
	Segment Assets
	Due to the comingled nature and uses of the Partnership’s fixed assets, the Partnership does not track its fixed assets between its refined products and materials handling operating segments or its other activities.

Interest Rate Derivatives
The Partnership has entered into interest rate swaps to manage its exposure to changes in interest rates on its Credit Agreements. The Partnership swaps the variable LIBOR interest rate payable under the Credit Agreements for fixed LIBOR interest rates. The Partnership’s interest rates swaps hedge actual and forecasted LIBOR borrowings and have been designated as cash flow hedges. Counterparties to the Partnership’s interest rate swaps are large multinational banks and the Partnership does not believe there is a material risk of counterparty non-performance. At December 31, 2013 the Partnership held six interest rate swap agreements with an aggregate notional value of $210.0 million. The cash flow hedges at December 31, 2013, expire at various dates through January 2015.
There was no material ineffectiveness determined for the cash flow hedges for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011. Any ineffectiveness is recorded as interest expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The Partnership records unrealized gains and losses on its interest rate swaps as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax, which is reclassified to earnings as interest expense when the payments are made. As of December 31, 2013, the amount of unrealized losses, net of tax, expected to be reclassified to earnings in 2014 was $2.4 million.
The following table presents the location of the gains and losses on derivative contracts designated as cash flow hedging instruments reported in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive (Loss) Income as other comprehensive loss (“OCL”) for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011:

Currency Derivatives
The Predecessor’s Canadian subsidiary enters into forward currency contracts to manage the risk of currency rate fluctuations between its U.S. dollar denominated activity and the Canadian dollar, which is its functional currency. At December 31, 2012, the Predecessor’s Canadian subsidiary has entered into a series of forward currency swaps that mature through February 2013. The contracts obligate the Canadian subsidiary to purchase approximately $52.0 million in U.S. dollars at exchange rates between 0.9797 and 0.9953. The U.S. to Canadian dollar exchange rate was 0.9921 at December 31, 2012.

During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Predecessor delayed the plan for this public offering and as a result, deferred offering costs of $8.9 million were charged against earnings. The total charge of $8.9 million included $6.5 million of offering costs previously deferred as of December 31, 2011, and $2.4 million of deferred offering costs incurred during the year ended December 31, 2012. The Predecessor retained no deferred offering costs on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2012.
	During 2013, the Partnership incurred offering costs of $12.7 million for the period January 1, 2013 through October 30, 2013 that were charged directly to equity upon completion of the IPO on October 30, 2013.

	20	Equity-Based Compensation
	During the quarter ended December 31, 2013, the General Partner issued a total of 6,666 restricted unit awards to certain directors under the 2013 LTIP. Recipients of restricted units have both distribution and voting rights on any unvested units. The fair value of each restricted unit on the grant date is equal to the market price of the Partnership’s common unit on that date. The estimated fair value of the restricted units is amortized over the vesting period using the straight-line method. Total unrecognized compensation cost related to the nonvested restricted units totaled $0.1 million as of December 31, 2013, which is expected to be recognized over a period of approximately three years. The fair value of nonvested service restricted units outstanding was approximately $0.1 million as of December 31, 2013.
	A summary of the Partnership’s restricted unit award activity for the period from October 30, 2013 through December 31, 2013, is set forth below:

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]	'
Earnings Per Unit Calculation	'
	21	Earnings Per Unit Calculation
	Earnings per unit applicable to limited partners (including subordinated unitholders) is computed by dividing limited partners’ interest in net income (loss), after deducting any incentive distributions, by the weighted-average number of outstanding common and subordinated units. The Partnership’s net income is allocated to the limited partners in accordance with their respective partnership percentages, after giving effect to priority income allocations for incentive distributions, if any, to Sprague Holdings, the holder of the IDRs, pursuant to the partnership agreement, which are declared and paid following the close of each quarter. Earnings (losses) per unit is only calculated for the Partnership after the IPO as no units were outstanding prior to October 30, 2013. Earnings in excess of distributions are allocated to the limited partners based on their respective ownership interests. Payments made to the Partnership’s unitholders are determined in relation to actual distributions declared and are not based on the net income allocations used in the calculation of earnings per unit.
	In addition to the common and subordinated units, the Partnership has also identified the IDRs and unvested restricted units as participating securities and uses the two-class method when calculating the net income (loss) per unit applicable to limited partners, which is based on the weighted-average number of common units outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per unit includes the effects of potentially dilutive units on the Partnership’s common units, consisting of unvested restricted units. For the period from October 30, 2013 through December 31, 2013 basic and diluted earnings per unit applicable to common limited partners are the same because including the effect of unvested restricted units would have been anti-dilutive. Basic and diluted earnings (losses) per unit applicable to subordinated limited partners are the same because there are no potentially dilutive subordinated units outstanding.
	The table below shows the weighted average common units outstanding used to compute net loss per common unit for the period from October 30, 2013 through December 31, 2013.

	Cash distributions
	The partnership agreement sets forth the calculation to be used to determine the amount and priority of cash distributions that the common and subordinated unitholders will receive. On January 29, 2014, the Partnership declared a quarterly cash distribution totaling $5.7 million, or $0.2825 per unit. The quarterly cash distribution for the three months ended December 31, 2013 was calculated as the minimum quarterly cash distribution of $0.4125 prorated for the period beginning October 30, 2013, the date the Partnership commenced operations. This distribution was paid on February 14, 2014, to unitholders of record on February 10, 2014.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]	'
Basis of Presentation	'
	Basis of Presentation
	The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Partnership commencing October 30, 2013, and the Predecessor and its wholly-owned subsidiaries through October 30, 2013. Intercompany transactions between the Partnership, Predecessor and its subsidiaries have been eliminated. Investments in affiliated companies, greater than 20% voting interest or where the Partnership or Predecessor exerts significant influence over an investee but lacks control over the investee are accounted for using the equity method. For the year ended December 31, 2013, the financial statements for the Partnership and the Predecessor are presented on a combined basis as the entities remain under common control.
Use of Estimates	'
	Use of Estimates
	The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities in the balance sheet and the reported revenues and expenses in the income statement. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Among the estimates made by management are asset valuations, the fair value of derivative assets and liabilities, environmental and legal obligations and income taxes.
Revenue Recognition and Cost of Products Sold	'
	Revenue Recognition and Cost of Products Sold
	The Partnership recognizes revenue on refined products, natural gas and materials handling revenue-producing activities, net of applicable provisions for discounts and allowances. Allowances for cash discounts are recorded as a reduction of revenue at the time of sale. Cash discounts were $7.3 million, $7.5 million and $6.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. At the time of sale for all revenue producing activities, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery or service has occurred, the price is determinable and collectability is reasonably assured.
	Refined products revenue-producing activities are direct sales to customers including throughput and exchange locations. Revenue is recognized when the product is delivered. Revenue is not recognized on exchange agreements, which are entered into primarily to acquire refined products by taking delivery of products closer to the Partnership’s end markets. Net differentials or fees for exchange agreements are recorded within cost of products sold. Natural gas revenue-producing activities are direct sales to customers at various points on natural gas pipelines or at local distribution companies (i.e., utilities). Revenue is recognized when the product is delivered. Materials handling service revenue is recognized monthly over the contractual service period or when the service is rendered. Revenue from other activities, primarily coal distribution and transportation services, is recognized when the product is delivered or the services are rendered.
	The allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded to reflect an estimate of the ultimate realization of the Partnership accounts receivable and includes an assessment of customers’ creditworthiness and the probability of collection. The allowance reflects an estimate of specifically identified accounts at risk. The provision for the allowance for doubtful accounts is included in cost of products sold.
	Shipping costs that occur at the time of sale are included in cost of products sold. Various excise taxes collected at the time of sale and remitted to authorities are recorded on a net basis.
Commodity Derivatives	'
	Commodity Derivatives
	The Partnership utilizes derivative instruments consisting of futures contracts, forward contracts, swaps, options and other derivatives individually or in combination, to mitigate its exposure to fluctuations in prices of refined petroleum products and natural gas. On a limited basis and within the Partnership’s risk management guidelines, the Partnership utilizes futures contracts, forward contracts, swaps, options and other derivatives to generate profits from changes in market prices. The Partnership invests in futures and over-the-counter (“OTC”) transactions either on regulated exchanges or in the OTC market. Futures contracts are exchange-traded contractual commitments to either receive or deliver a standard amount or value of a commodity at a specified future date and price, with some futures contracts based on cash settlement rather than a delivery requirement. Futures exchanges typically require investors to provide margin deposits as security. OTC contracts, which may or may not require margin deposits as security, involve parties that have agreed either to exchange cash payments or deliver or receive the underlying commodity at a specified future date and price. The Partnership posts initial margin with futures transaction brokers, along with variation margin, which is paid or received on a daily basis, and is included in other current assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. In addition, the Partnership may either pay or receive margin based upon exposure with counterparties. Payments made by the Partnership are included in other current assets, whereas payments received by the Partnership are included in accrued liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Substantially all of the Partnership’s commodity derivative contracts outstanding as of December 31, 2013 will settle prior to June 30, 2015.
	The Partnership enters into some master netting arrangements to mitigate credit risk with significant counterparties. Master netting arrangements are standardized contracts that govern all specified transactions with the same counterparty and allow the Partnership to terminate all contracts upon occurrence of certain events, such as a counterparty’s default. The Partnership has elected not to offset the fair value of its derivatives, even where these arrangements provide the right to do so.
	The Partnership’s derivative instruments are recorded at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in net income (loss) or comprehensive income (loss) each period as appropriate. The Partnership’s fair value measurements are determined using the market approach and includes non-performance risk and time value of money considerations. Counterparty credit is considered for receivable balances, and the Partnership’s credit is considered for payable balances.
	The Partnership does not offset fair value amounts recognized for the right to reclaim cash collateral (a receivable) or the obligation to return cash collateral (a payable) against the fair value of derivative instruments executed with the same counterparty under the same master netting arrangement. The Partnership had no right to reclaim or obligation to return cash collateral as of December 31, 2013 or 2012.
Interest Rate Derivatives	'
	Interest Rate Derivatives
	The Partnership manages its exposure to variable LIBOR borrowings by using interest rate swaps to convert a portion of its variable rate debt to fixed rates. These interest rate swaps are designated as cash flow hedges and the effective portion of changes in fair value of the swaps are included as a component of comprehensive income and accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax, in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive (Loss) Income and in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, respectively. The ineffective portion of the changes in fair value of the swaps, which was not material, is recorded in earnings.
	To designate a derivative as a cash flow hedge, the Partnership documents at inception the assessment that the derivative will be highly effective in offsetting expected changes in cash flows from the item hedged. The assessment, updated at least quarterly, is based on the most recent relevant historical correlation between the derivative and the item hedged. If during the term of the derivative, the hedge is found to be less than highly effective, hedge accounting is prospectively discontinued and the remaining gains and losses are reclassified to income in the current period.
Market and Credit Risk	'
	Market and Credit Risk
	The Partnership manages the risk of market fluctuations in the price and transportation costs of its commodities through the use of derivative instruments. The volatility of prices for energy commodities can be significantly influenced by market supply and demand, changes in seasonal demand, weather conditions, transportation availability, and federal and state regulations. The Partnership monitors and manages its exposure to market risk on a daily basis in accordance with approved policies.
	The Partnership has a number of financial instruments that are potentially at risk including cash and cash equivalents, receivables and derivative contracts. The Partnership’s primary exposure is credit risk related to its receivables and counterparty performance risk related to the fair value of derivative assets, which is the loss that may result from a customer’s or counterparty’s non-performance. The Partnership uses credit policies to control credit risk, including utilizing an established credit approval process, monitoring customer and counterparty limits, employing credit mitigation measures such as analyzing customer financial statements, and accepting personal guarantees and various forms of collateral.
	The Partnership believes that the counterparties to its derivative contracts will be able to satisfy their contractual obligations. Credit risk is limited by the large number of customers and counterparties comprising the Partnership’s business and their dispersion across different industries.
	The Partnership’s cash is in demand deposit and other short-term investment accounts placed with federally insured financial institutions. Such deposit accounts at times may exceed federally insured limits. The Partnership has not experienced any losses on such accounts.
Fair Value Measurements	'
	Fair Value Measurements
	The Partnership’s derivative instruments are recorded at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in net income or other comprehensive income each period as appropriate. The Partnership’s fair value measurements are determined using the market approach and includes non-performance risk and time value of money considerations. Counterparty credit is considered for receivable balances, and the Partnership’s credit is considered for payable balances.
	The Partnership determines fair value in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, “Fair Value Measurement” which established a hierarchy for the inputs used to measure the fair value of financial assets and liabilities based on the source of the input, which generally range from quoted prices for identical instruments in a principal trading market (Level 1) to estimates determined using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). Multiple inputs may be used to measure fair value, however, the level of fair value is based on the lowest significant input level within this fair value hierarchy.
	Details on the methods and assumptions used to determine the fair values are as follows:
	Fair value measurements based on Level 1 inputs: Measurements that are most observable and are based on quoted prices of identical instruments obtained from the principal markets in which they are traded. Closing prices are both readily available and representative of fair value. Market transactions occur with sufficient frequency and volume to assure liquidity.
	Fair value measurements based on Level 2 inputs: Measurements derived indirectly from observable inputs or from quoted prices from markets that are less liquid are considered Level 2. Measurements based on Level 2 inputs include over-the-counter derivative instruments that are priced on an exchange traded curve, but have contractual terms that are not identical to exchange traded contracts. The Partnership utilizes fair value measurements based on Level 2 inputs for its fixed forward contracts, over-the-counter commodity price swaps, interest rate swaps and forward currency contracts.
	Fair value measurements based on Level 3 inputs: Measurements that are least observable are estimated from significant unobservable inputs determined from sources with little or no market activity for comparable contracts or for positions with longer durations.
Earnings (Loss) Per Unit	'
	Earnings (Loss) Per Unit
	The Partnership computes income per unit using the two-class method. Net income (loss) attributable to common unitholders and subordinated unitholders for purposes of the basic income (loss) per unit computation is allocated between the common unitholders and subordinated unitholders by applying the provisions of the partnership agreement. Under the two-class method, any excess of distributions declared over net income is allocated to the partners based on their respective sharing of income specified in the partnership agreement. Net income (loss) per unit is determined by dividing the net income allocated to the common unitholders and the subordinated unitholders under the two-class method by the number of common units and subordinated units outstanding at December 31, 2013.
	Sprague Holdings owns all of the outstanding subordinated units and the incentive distribution rights (“IDR”) as of December 31, 2013. Pursuant to the partnership agreement, to the extent that the quarterly distributions exceed certain targets, Sprague Holdings is entitled to receive certain incentive distributions that will result in more net income proportionately being allocated to Sprague Holdings than to the other holders of common units.
	Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification 260 (“ASC 260”) — “Earnings per Share” addresses the computation of earnings per share by entities that have issued securities other than common stock that contractually entitle the holder to participate in dividends and earnings of the entity. The application of ASC 260 may have an impact on earnings per limited partner unit in future periods if there are material differences between net income and actual cash distributions or if other participating units are issued.
Cash and Cash Equivalents	'
	Cash and Cash Equivalents
	Cash and cash equivalents include cash and highly liquid investments which are readily convertible into cash and have maturities of three months or less when purchased.
Inventories	'
	Inventories
	The Partnership’s inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. Cost is primarily determined using the first-in, first-out method, except for Kildair, the Predecessor’s Canadian subsidiary, which used the weighted average method. Inventory consists of petroleum products, natural gas, asphalt and coal. The Partnership uses derivative instruments, primarily futures, forwards and swaps, to economically hedge substantially all of its inventory.
Property, Plant and Equipment, Net	'
	Property, Plant and Equipment, Net
	Property, plant and equipment, net are recorded at historical cost. Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over the following estimated useful lives:
	Information technology equipment and software	3 to 7 years
	Furniture and fixtures	5 to 10 years
	Plant, machinery and equipment	5 to 30 years
	Building and leasehold improvements	10 to 25 years
	Leasehold improvements are amortized over the term of the lease or the estimated useful life of the improvement, whichever is shorter. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Costs and related accumulated depreciation of properties sold or otherwise disposed of are removed from the respective accounts, and any resulting gains or losses are recorded at that time.
Long-lived Assets	'
	Long-lived Assets
	The Partnership evaluates the carrying value of its property, plant and equipment and certain intangible assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable based on estimated future undiscounted cash flows. Future cash flow projections include assumptions of future sales levels, the impact of cost reduction programs, and the level of working capital needed to support each business. To the extent the carrying amount is not recoverable based on undiscounted cash flows, the amount of impairment is measured by the difference between the carrying value and the fair value of the asset. During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Predecessor recorded an impairment of $0.5 million in connection with a terminal closure. No impairment charges were recorded for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2011.
Purchase Price Allocation	'
	Purchase Price Allocation
	The Predecessor has made a number of acquisitions in the past and the Partnership may continue to make acquisitions in the future. The Partnership and the Predecessor allocate the cost of the acquired entity to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their respective fair values at the date of acquisition. Long-lived assets (principally property, plant and equipment and goodwill) generally represent large components of these acquisitions. In addition to goodwill, intangible assets acquired have included customer relationships and non-compete agreements. Goodwill is calculated as the excess of the cost of the acquired entity over the net of the fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. Customer relationships and non-compete agreements are valued based on an excess earnings or income approach based on projected cash flows.
	Other assets acquired and liabilities assumed typically include, but are not limited to, inventory, accounts receivable, accounts payable and other working capital items. Because of their short-term nature, the fair values of these other assets and liabilities generally approximate the book values on the acquired entity’s balance sheet.
Goodwill	'
	Goodwill
	Goodwill is not amortized but tested for impairment at the reporting unit level, at least annually (as of October 31 each year), by determining the fair value of the reporting unit and comparing it to its carrying value. The Partnership assesses the fair value of its reporting units based on a discounted cash flow valuation model (Level 3 measurement). The key assumptions used are discount rates and growth rates, applied to cash flow projections. These assumptions contemplate business, market and overall economic conditions.
	After applying the discounted cash flow methods to measure the fair value of its reporting units, including the consideration of reasonably likely adverse changes in the rates and assumptions described above, the Partnership determined that there have been no goodwill impairments to date. In performing the discounted cash flow analysis, the Partnership used a range of discount rate assumptions to evaluate the sensitivity on the fair values resulting from the discounted cash flow valuation.
Intangibles and Other Assets, Net	'
	Intangibles and Other Assets, Net
	Intangibles and other assets, net consist of intangible assets with finite lives, including deferred debt issuance costs, customer relationships and covenants not to compete. Intangibles and other assets are amortized over their respective estimated useful lives. The Partnership evaluates its intangible and other long-lived assets for impairment when indicators are present.
Income Taxes	'
	Income Taxes
	The Partnership is organized as a pass-through entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As a result, the partners are responsible for federal income taxes based on their respective share of taxable income. Net income for financial statement purposes may differ significantly from taxable income reportable to unitholders as a result of differences between the tax bases and financial reporting bases of assets and liabilities and the taxable income allocation requirements under the partnership agreement. The Partnership, however, is subject to a statutory requirement that non-qualifying income cannot exceed 10% of total gross income, determined on a calendar year basis under the applicable income tax provisions. If the amount of non-qualifying income exceeds this statutory limit, the Partnership would be taxed as a corporation. Accordingly, certain activities that generate non-qualifying income are conducted through a taxable corporate subsidiary, Sprague Energy Solutions, Inc. Sprague Energy Solutions, Inc. is subject to federal and state income tax and pays any income taxes related to the results of its operations. For the year ended December 31, 2013, the Partnership’s non-qualifying income did not exceed the statutory limit. The Partnership is subject to income tax and franchise tax in certain domestic state and local jurisdictions.
	Prior to the IPO, the Predecessor was not a separate taxable entity for U.S. federal and certain state income tax purposes and its results were included in the consolidated U.S. federal and certain state income tax returns of Lexa International Corporation, which is the sole shareholder of the Predecessor’s Parent. Income tax provisions and benefits, related tax payments, and current and deferred tax balances were prepared as if the Predecessor operated as a stand-alone taxpayer for all periods presented in accordance with the tax sharing agreement between the Predecessor and the Parent. Under the tax sharing agreement, the Predecessor is obligated to pay federal and certain state taxes to the Parent. In the event that the Parent does not have a consolidated liability for federal or certain state taxes, the Predecessor is not obligated to pay the Parent for such taxes and all such amounts are reflected as capital contributions.
	Income taxes are provided using the asset and liability method prescribed by ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” Under this method, income taxes (e.g., deferred tax assets, deferred tax liabilities and taxes currently payable and tax expense) are recorded based on amounts refundable or payable in the current year and include the impact of temporary differences between the amount of assets and liabilities recognized for financial reporting purposes and such amounts recognized for tax purposes. Deferred taxes are measured by applying currently enacted tax rates. The Partnership establishes a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that these assets will not be realized.
	The Partnership recognizes the financial statement effect of a tax position only when management believes that it is more likely than not, that based on the technical merits, the position will be sustained upon examination. The Partnership classifies interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax positions as income tax expense.
Foreign Currency	'
	Foreign Currency
	The functional currency of the Predecessor’s foreign subsidiary, which owns Kildair, is the Canadian dollar. All balance sheet asset and liability accounts of the Predecessor’s foreign subsidiary are translated to U.S. dollars using rates of exchange in effect at the balance sheet dates, and its results of operations are translated using average exchange rates for the relevant period. Resulting translation adjustments are recorded as a component of member’s equity in accumulated other comprehensive loss.
	Kildair converts receivables and payables denominated in other than their functional currency at the exchange rate as of the balance sheet date. Kildair utilizes forward currency contracts to manage its exposure to currency fluctuations of certain of its transactions that are denominated in U.S. dollars. These forward currency exchange contracts are recorded at fair value at the balance sheet date and changes in fair value are recognized in net income as these forward currency contracts have not been designated as hedges. For the period January 1, 2013 to October 29, 2013 and for the year ended December 31, 2012, transaction exchange gains or losses, except for certain transaction gains or losses related to intercompany receivable and payables, amounted to losses of $3.8 million and $1.4 million, respectively, the majority of which is recorded in cost of products sold in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Predecessor’s transaction exchange gains or losses were not significant for the year ended December 31, 2011.
	Transaction gains and losses related to intercompany receivables and payables not anticipated to be settled in the foreseeable future are excluded from the determination of net income and are recorded as a translation adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income as a component of member’s equity.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	'
	Recent Accounting Pronouncements
	In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02, “Reporting Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income,” which amends ASC 220, “Comprehensive Income.” The amended guidance requires entities to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. Additionally, entities are required to present, either on the face of the financial statements or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income. The amended guidance does not change the current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income. The Predecessor adopted ASU 2013-02 as of January 1, 2013 and it did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. Prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation reflecting the impact of the adoption of ASU 2013-02.
	In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-11, “Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities.” ASU 2011-11 requires an entity to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements to enable users of its financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on its financial position. Entities are required to disclose both gross and net information about these instruments. ASU 2011-11 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. The Predecessor adopted ASU 2011-11 as of January 1, 2013 and it did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements, but did result in additional disclosure regarding fair value measurement.
