Financial Instruments and Off-Balance Sheet Risk | Financial Instruments and Off-Balance Sheet Risk As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximated fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the carrying value of the Partnership’s margin deposits with brokers approximates fair value and consists of 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 or other current liabilities. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the carrying value of the Partnership’s debt approximated fair value due to the variable interest nature of these instruments. The following table presents financial assets and financial liabilities of the Partnership measured at fair value on a recurring basis: As of June 30, 2022 Fair Value Quoted Significant Significant Derivative assets: Commodity fixed forwards $ 21,203 $ — $ 21,203 $ — Futures, swaps and options 261,852 261,852 — — Commodity derivatives 283,055 261,852 21,203 — Interest rate swaps 15,818 — 15,818 — Total derivative assets $ 298,873 $ 261,852 $ 37,021 $ — Derivative liabilities: Commodity fixed forwards 274,141 — 274,141 — Futures, swaps and options 158,325 158,260 65 — Commodity derivatives 432,466 158,260 274,206 — Interest rate swaps — — — — Total derivative liabilities $ 432,466 $ 158,260 $ 274,206 $ — As of December 31, 2021 Fair Value Quoted Significant Significant Derivative assets: Commodity fixed forwards $ 25,793 $ — $ 25,793 $ — Futures, swaps and options 148,034 148,029 5 — Commodity derivatives 173,827 148,029 25,798 — Interest rate swaps 302 — 302 — Total derivative assets $ 174,129 $ 148,029 $ 26,100 $ — Derivative liabilities: Commodity fixed forwards 176,602 — 176,602 — Futures, swaps and options 78,026 77,948 78 — Commodity derivatives 254,628 77,948 176,680 — Interest rate swaps 5,295 — 5,295 — Total derivative liabilities $ 259,923 $ 77,948 $ 181,975 $ — Commodity Derivative Instruments 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. The use of these derivative instruments within the Partnership's risk management policy may, on a limited basis, generate gains or losses from changes in market prices. The Partnership enters into 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 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 or other current liabilities. 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. Substantially of all of the Partnership’s commodity derivative contracts outstanding as of June 30, 2022 will settle prior to December 31, 2023. 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 each period. 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. In accordance with fair value standards under GAAP, there was a $4.0 million gain and $12.8 million gain recorded during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, associated with the quarterly fair value measurement of the credit risk associated with our refined product and natural gas derivative assets and liabilities. There were no such amounts recorded in 2021. The Partnership determines fair value based on 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 OTC 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. 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 June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The Partnership enters into derivative contracts with counterparties, some of which are subject to master netting arrangements, which allow net settlements under certain conditions. The Partnership presents derivatives at gross fair values in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The maximum amount of loss due to credit risk that the Partnership would incur if its counterparties failed completely to perform according to the terms of the contracts, based on the net fair value of these financial instruments, exclusive of cash collateral, was $137.8 million at June 30, 2022. Information related to these offsetting arrangements is set forth below: As of June 30, 2022 Gross Amount Not Offset in Gross Amount of Assets/Liabilities Financial Cash Net Amount Commodity derivative assets $ 283,055 $ (161,036) $ (86,281) $ 35,738 Interest rate swap derivative assets 15,818 — — 15,818 Fair value of derivative assets $ 298,873 $ (161,036) $ (86,281) $ 51,556 Commodity derivative liabilities (432,466) 161,036 — (271,430) Fair value of derivative liabilities $ (432,466) $ 161,036 $ — $ (271,430) As of December 31, 2021 Gross Amount Not Offset in Gross Amount of Assets/Liabilities Financial Cash Net Amount Commodity derivative assets $ 173,827 $ (77,927) $ (22,623) $ 73,277 Interest rate swap derivative assets 302 — — 302 Fair value of derivative assets $ 174,129 $ (77,927) $ (22,623) $ 73,579 Commodity derivative liabilities $ (254,628) $ 77,927 $ 1,313 $ (175,388) Interest rate swap derivative liabilities (5,295) — — (5,295) Fair value of derivative liabilities $ (259,923) $ 77,927 $ 1,313 $ (180,683) The following table presents total realized and unrealized gains (losses) on derivative instruments utilized for commodity risk management purposes included in cost of products sold (exclusive of depreciation and amortization): Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 2021 2022 2021 Refined products contracts $ (37,995) $ (19,503) $ (171,054) $ (39,277) Natural gas contracts 4,112 (34,447) 172,873 (33,138) Total $ (33,883) $ (53,950) $ 1,819 $ (72,415) There were no discretionary trading activities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021. The following table presents gross volume of commodity derivative instruments outstanding for the periods indicated: As of June 30, 2022 As of December 31, 2021 Refined Products Natural Gas Refined Products Natural Gas Long contracts 4,327 145,722 10,034 167,709 Short contracts (4,983) (88,320) (14,483) (98,152) Interest Rate Derivatives We enter into interest rate swaps to manage exposures in changing interest rates. We swap the variable SOFR interest rate payable under our Credit Agreement for fixed LIBOR or equivalent SOFR interest rates. These interest rate swaps meet the criteria to receive cash flow hedge accounting treatment. 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. The Partnership expects to continue to utilize interest rate swaps to hedge cash flow risk and to manage its exposure to SOFR interest rates for the foreseeable future. The Partnership's interest rate swap agreements outstanding as of June 30, 2022 were as follows: Beginning Ending Notional Amount January 2022 December 2022 425,000 * January 2023 March 2023 475,000 * April 2023 December 2023 450,000 * January 2024 December 2024 500,000 ** January 2025 December 2026 450,000 ** January 2027 January 2027 300,000 * During the months of May through October, one interest rate swap agreement decreases by $100 million . This decrease is not reflected in the notional amount in the table above. ** During the months of May through October, two interest rate swap agreements decrease by $100 million each. These decreases are not reflected in the notional amount in the table above. 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 June 30, 2022, the amount of unrealized gains, net of tax, expected to be reclassified to earnings during the following twelve-month period was $5.2 million. |
