Delek Logistics Partners, LP
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
1. Organization and Basis of Presentation
As used in this report, the terms "Delek Logistics Partners, LP," the "Partnership," "we," "us," or "our" may refer to Delek Logistics Partners, LP, one or more of its consolidated subsidiaries or all of them taken as a whole. References in this report to "Delek" refer collectively to Delek US Holdings, Inc. and any of its subsidiaries, other than Delek Logistics Partners, LP, its subsidiaries and its general partner.
The Partnership is a Delaware limited partnership formed in April 2012 by Delek Logistics GP, LLC, a subsidiary of Delek and our general partner. On November 7, 2012, we completed our initial public offering (the "Offering") of 9,200,000 common units representing limited partner interests.
Upon completion of the Offering, the Partnership consisted of the assets, liabilities and results of operations of certain crude oil and refined product pipelines and transportation, wholesale marketing and terminalling assets previously operated or held by Delek and certain of its present subsidiaries including Delek Marketing & Supply, LLC ("Delek Marketing") and Lion Oil Company ("Lion Oil") and former subsidiaries including Paline Pipeline Company, LLC, which is now a subsidiary of the Partnership.
On July 26, 2013, we acquired from Delek (i) the refined products terminal (the “Tyler Terminal”) located at Delek's Tyler, Texas Refinery (the "Tyler Refinery") and (ii) 96 storage tanks and certain ancillary assets (the "Tyler Tank Assets" and together with the Tyler Terminal, the “Tyler Terminal and Tank Assets”) adjacent to the Tyler Refinery (such transaction, the “Tyler Acquisition”).
On February 10, 2014, the Partnership, through its wholly owned subsidiary Delek Logistics Operating, LLC ("OpCo"), acquired from Delek (i) the refined products terminal (the “El Dorado Terminal”) located at Delek's El Dorado, Arkansas Refinery (the "El Dorado Refinery") and (ii) 158 storage tanks and certain ancillary assets (the "El Dorado Storage Tanks" and together with the El Dorado Terminal, the “El Dorado Terminal and Tank Assets”) adjacent to the El Dorado Refinery (such transaction, the “El Dorado Acquisition”).
The El Dorado Acquisition and the Tyler Acquisition were accounted for as transfers between entities under common control. As entities under common control with Delek, we record the assets that Delek has contributed to us on our balance sheet at Delek's historical basis instead of fair value. Transfers between entities under common control are accounted for as if the transfer occurred at the beginning of the period, and prior years are retrospectively adjusted to furnish comparative information. Accordingly, the accompanying financial statements and related notes of the Partnership have been retrospectively adjusted to include the historical results of the El Dorado Terminal and Tank Assets for all periods presented through February 10, 2014 (the "El Dorado Predecessor") and the historical results of the Tyler Terminal and Tank Assets for all periods presented through July 26, 2013 (the "Tyler Predecessor"). We refer to the historical results of the El Dorado and Tyler Predecessors collectively as our "Predecessors." See Note 2 for further information regarding the El Dorado Acquisition and the Tyler Acquisition.
The accompanying unaudited condensed combined financial statements and related notes for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 include the consolidated financial position, results of operations, cash flows and division equity of our Predecessors. The financial statements of our Predecessors have been prepared from the separate records maintained by Delek and may not necessarily be indicative of the conditions that would have existed or the results of operations if our Predecessors had been operated as unaffiliated entities. Our Predecessors did not record revenues for intercompany terminalling and storage services.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP") have been condensed or omitted, although management believes that the disclosures herein are adequate to make the financial information presented not misleading. Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP applied on a consistent basis with those of the annual audited financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 (our "Annual Report on Form 10-K"). These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2013 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been included. All significant intercompany transactions and account balances have been eliminated in the consolidation. Such intercompany transactions do not include those with Delek or our general partner. All adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. Operating results for the interim period should not be viewed as representative of results that may be expected for any future interim period or for the full year.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date
6
of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
2. Acquisitions
El Dorado Acquisition
On February 10, 2014, the Partnership completed the El Dorado Acquisition and acquired the El Dorado Terminal and Tank Assets. The purchase price paid for the assets acquired was approximately $95.9 million in cash. The assets acquired consisted of the following:
• | The El Dorado Terminal. The refined products terminal located at the El Dorado Refinery, which consists of a truck loading rack with three loading bays supplied by pipeline from storage tanks located at the El Dorado Refinery, along with certain ancillary assets. Total throughput capacity for the El Dorado Terminal is approximately 26,700 barrels per day ("bpd"). |
• | The El Dorado Storage Tanks. 158 storage tanks and certain ancillary assets (such as pumps and piping) located adjacent to and at the El Dorado Refinery with an aggregate shell capacity of approximately 2.5 million barrels. |
Delek retained any current assets and current liabilities related to the El Dorado Terminal and Tank Assets as of the date of the El Dorado Acquisition. The only historical balance sheet items that transferred to the Partnership in the El Dorado Acquisition were property, plant and equipment assets, tank inspection liabilities and asset retirement obligations, which were recorded by us at historical cost.
In connection with the El Dorado Acquisition, the Partnership and Delek entered into (i) an asset purchase agreement, (ii) the Second Omnibus Amendment (as defined in Note 13), (iii) a throughput and tankage agreement with respect to the El Dorado Terminal and Tank Assets, (iv) a lease and access agreement and (v) a site services agreement. See Note 13 for additional information regarding these agreements.
Tyler Acquisition
On July 26, 2013, the Partnership completed the Tyler Acquisition and acquired the Tyler Terminal and Tank Assets. The purchase price paid for the assets acquired was $94.8 million in cash. The assets acquired consisted of the following:
• | The Tyler Terminal. The refined products terminal located at the Tyler Refinery, which consists of a truck loading rack with nine loading bays supplied by pipelines from storage tanks, also owned by the Partnership, located adjacent to the Tyler Refinery, along with certain ancillary assets. Total throughput capacity for the Tyler Terminal is approximately 72,000 bpd. |
• | The Tyler Tank Assets. Ninety-six storage tanks and certain ancillary assets (such as tank pumps and piping) located adjacent to the Tyler Refinery with an aggregate shell capacity of approximately 2.0 million barrels. |
Delek retained any current assets, current liabilities and environmental liabilities related to the Tyler Terminal and Tank Assets as of the date of the Tyler Acquisition. The only historical balance sheet items that transferred to the Partnership in the Acquisition were property, plant and equipment assets and asset retirement obligations which were recorded by us at historical cost.
In connection with the Tyler Acquisition, the Partnership and Delek entered into (i) an asset purchase agreement, (ii) the First Omnibus Amendment (as defined in Note 13) (iii) a throughput and tankage agreement with respect to the Tyler Terminal and Tank Assets, (iv) a lease and access agreement and (v) a site services agreement. See Note 13 for additional information regarding these agreements.
El Dorado Terminal and Tank Assets and Tyler Terminal and Tank Assets Financial Results
The acquisitions of the El Dorado Terminal and Tank Assets and the Tyler Terminal and Tank Assets were considered transfers of businesses between entities under common control. Accordingly, the El Dorado Acquisition and the Tyler Acquisition were recorded at amounts based on Delek's historical carrying value as of each respective acquisition date, which were $25.2 million as of February 10, 2014 and $38.3 million as of July 26, 2013, respectively. Our historical financial statements have been retrospectively adjusted to reflect the results of operations, financial position, cash flows and equity attributable to the El Dorado Terminal and Tank Assets and the Tyler Terminal and Tank Assets as if we owned the assets for all periods presented. The results of the El Dorado Terminal and the Tyler Terminal and the El Dorado Storage Tanks and the Tyler Tank Assets are included in the wholesale marketing and terminalling segment and the pipelines and transportation segment, respectively.

North Little Rock Acquisition
On October 24, 2013, we purchased a refined products terminal in Little Rock, Arkansas from Enterprise Refined Products Company, LLC (the "North Little Rock Terminal"). We acquired the North Little Rock Terminal to expand our customer base and diversify our product mix. The aggregate purchase price was approximately $5.0 million. The allocation of the purchase price was based primarily upon a preliminary valuation. The preliminary valuation is subject to change during the purchase price allocation period.
The preliminary allocation of the aggregate purchase price of the North Little Rock Terminal as of March 31, 2014 is summarized as follows (in thousands):
Property, plant and equipment | $ | 4,987 | |
Intangible assets | 13 | ||
Total | $ | 5,000 |
Pro Forma Financial Information - North Little Rock Acquisition
We began consolidating the results of operations of the North Little Rock Terminal on October 24, 2013. The North Little Rock Terminal contributed $0.4 million and $0.2 million to net sales and net income, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2014. Below are the unaudited pro forma consolidated results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2013, as if these acquisitions had occurred on January 1, 2013 (in thousands):

Hopewell Acquisition
On July 19, 2013, the Partnership purchased a 13.5-mile pipeline (the "Hopewell Pipeline") that originates at the Tyler Refinery and terminates at the Hopewell Station, where it effectively connects to the Partnership's 19-mile pipeline (the "Big Sandy Pipeline") that originates at the Hopewell Station and terminates at our light petroleum products terminal located in Big Sandy, Texas. The Hopewell Pipeline and the Big Sandy Pipeline form essentially one pipeline link between the Tyler Refinery and the Big Sandy Terminal (the "Tyler-Big Sandy Pipeline").
The aggregate purchase price was approximately $5.7 million. The allocation of the purchase price was based primarily upon a preliminary valuation. During 2013, we adjusted certain of the acquisition-date fair values previously disclosed, based primarily on an analysis of intangible assets. The preliminary valuation is subject to change during the purchase price allocation period.
The preliminary allocation of the aggregate purchase price of the Hopewell Pipeline as of March 31, 2014 is summarized as follows (in thousands):
Property, plant and equipment | $ | 4,836 | |
Intangible assets | 864 | ||
Total | $ | 5,700 |
Amended and Restated Services Agreement (Big Sandy Terminal and Pipeline)
In connection with the acquisition of the Hopewell Pipeline, on July 25, 2013, the Partnership and Delek entered into the Amended and Restated Services Agreement (Big Sandy Terminal and Pipeline), which amended and restated the Terminalling Services Agreement dated November 7, 2012 for the Big Sandy Terminal to include, among other things, a minimum throughput commitment and a per barrel throughput fee that Delek will pay us for throughput along the Tyler-Big Sandy Pipeline.

Pro Forma Financial Information - Hopewell Acquisition
We began consolidating the results of operations of the Hopewell Pipeline on July 19, 2013. Although the Tyler-Big Sandy Pipeline, of which the Hopewell Pipeline is an integral part, was not operational prior to November 2013 due to required maintenance to return it to service, Delek paid to us pipeline fees for the Tyler-Big Sandy Pipeline during the year ended December 31, 2013. The maintenance required to return the Hopewell Pipeline to service and thereby connect it to the Big Sandy Pipeline was completed in the fourth quarter 2013. The Tyler-Big Sandy Pipeline contributed $0.4 million and $0.3 million to net sales and net income respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2014.
Below are the unaudited pro forma consolidated results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2013, as if the acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2013 (in thousands):

3. Inventory
Inventories consisted of $14.0 million and $17.5 million of refined petroleum products as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. Cost of inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market, determined on a first-in, first-out basis.
4. Amended and Restated Credit Agreement
We entered into a $175.0 million senior secured revolving credit agreement concurrent with the completion of the Offering on November 7, 2012, with Fifth Third Bank, as administrative agent, and a syndicate of lenders, which was amended and restated on July 9, 2013 (the “Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”). Under the terms of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the lender commitments were increased from $175.0 million to $400.0 million and a dual currency borrowing tranche was added that permits draw downs in U.S. or Canadian dollars. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement also contains an accordion feature whereby the Partnership can increase the size of the credit facility to an aggregate of $450.0 million, subject to receiving increased or new commitments from lenders and the satisfaction of certain other conditions precedent. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement matures on November 7, 2017.
Borrowings denominated in U.S. dollars under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement bear interest at either a U.S. dollar prime rate, plus an applicable margin, or the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR"), plus an applicable margin, at the election of the borrowers. Borrowings denominated in Canadian dollars under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement bear interest at either a Canadian dollar prime rate, plus an applicable margin, or the Canadian Dealer Offered Rate, plus an applicable margin, at the election of the borrowers. The applicable margin in each case varies based upon the Partnership's most recently reported leverage ratio. At March 31, 2014, the weighted average interest rate was approximately 2.7%. Additionally, the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement requires us to pay a leverage ratio dependent quarterly fee on the average unused revolving commitment. As of March 31, 2014, this fee was 0.4% per year.
The obligations under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement remain secured by first priority liens on substantially all of the Partnership's and its U.S. subsidiaries' tangible and intangible assets. Additionally, Delek Marketing continues to provide a limited guaranty of the Partnership's obligations under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. Delek Marketing's guaranty is (i) limited to an amount equal to the principal amount, plus unpaid and accrued interest, of a promissory note made by Delek US in favor of Delek Marketing (the "Holdings Note") and (ii) secured by Delek Marketing's pledge of the Holdings Note to our lenders under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. As of March 31, 2014, the principal amount of the Holdings Note was $102.0 million, plus unpaid interest accrued since the issuance date.
As of March 31, 2014, we had $260.5 million of outstanding borrowings under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. Additionally, we had in place letters of credit totaling approximately $13.5 million, primarily securing obligations with respect to gasoline and diesel purchases. No amounts were outstanding under these letters of credit at March 31, 2014. Amounts available under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement as of March 31, 2014 were approximately $126.0 million.
5. Income Taxes
12
Our effective income tax rate decreased to 1.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to the effective income tax rate of 1.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2013. For tax purposes, each partner of the Partnership is required to take into account its share of income, gain, loss and deduction in computing its federal and state income tax liabilities, regardless of whether cash distributions are made to such partner by the Partnership. The taxable income reportable to each partner takes into account differences between the tax basis and fair market value of our assets, the acquisition price of such partner's units and the taxable income allocation requirements under our partnership agreement.
6. Net Income Per Unit
We use the two-class method when calculating the net income per unit applicable to limited partners because we have more than one participating security. The two-class method is based on the weighted-average number of common units outstanding during the period. Basic net income per unit applicable to limited partners (including subordinated unitholders) is computed by dividing limited partners’ interest in net income, after deducting our general partner’s 2% interest and incentive distributions, if any, by the weighted-average number of outstanding common and subordinated units. Our net income is allocated to our general partner and limited partners in accordance with their respective partnership percentages after giving effect to priority income allocations for incentive distributions, if any, to our general partner, which is the holder of the incentive distribution rights pursuant to our partnership agreement, which are declared and paid following the close of each quarter.
Earnings in excess of distributions are allocated to our general partner and limited partners based on their respective ownership interests. Payments made to our unitholders are determined in relation to actual distributions declared and are not based on the net income allocations used in the calculation of net income per unit. The basic weighted-average number of units outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2014 increased to 24,644,649 units from 24,514,527 units in the fourth quarter 2013.
Diluted net income per unit applicable to common limited partners includes the effects of potentially dilutive units on our common units. At present, the only potentially dilutive units outstanding consist of unvested phantom unit awards under the Delek Logistics GP, LLC 2012 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "LTIP"). Basic and diluted net income per unit applicable to subordinated limited partners are the same because there are no potentially dilutive subordinated units outstanding.
13
Our distributions are declared subsequent to quarter end. Therefore, the table represents total cash distributions applicable to the period in which the distributions are earned. The calculation of net income per unit is as follows (dollars in thousands, except per unit amounts):

7. Equity
We had 9,353,240 common limited partner units held by the public outstanding as of March 31, 2014. Additionally, as of March 31, 2014, Delek owned a 60.0% limited partner interest in us, consisting of 2,799,258 common limited partner units and 11,999,258 subordinated limited partner units as well as a 96.6% interest in our general partner, which owns the entire 2.0% general partner interest consisting of 492,893 general partner units. In accordance with our partnership agreement, Delek's subordinated units may convert to common units once specified distribution targets and other requirements have been met.

(1) Cash distributions include $95.9 million in cash payments for the El Dorado Acquisition. As an entity under common control with Delek, we record the assets that we acquire from Delek on our balance sheet at Delek's historical book value instead of fair value. Additionally, any excess of cash paid over the historical book value of the assets acquired from Delek is recorded within equity. As a result of the El Dorado Acquisition, our equity balance decreased $70.7 million from December 31, 2013 to March 31, 2014.
Allocations of Net Income
Our partnership agreement contains provisions for the allocation of net income and loss to the unitholders and our general partner. 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 our general partner.
Cash Distributions
Our partnership agreement sets forth the calculation to be used to determine the amount and priority of cash distributions that the common and subordinated unitholders and general partner will receive. Our distributions are declared subsequent to quarter end. The table below summarizes the quarterly distributions related to our quarterly financial results:
Quarter Ended | Total Quarterly Distribution Per Unit | Total Quarterly Distribution Per Unit, Annualized | Total Cash Distribution (in thousands) | Date of Distribution | Unitholders Record Date | |||||||||||

8. Equity Based Compensation
We incurred $0.1 million and a nominal amount of unit-based compensation expense related to the Partnership during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The fair value of phantom unit awards under the LTIP is determined based on the closing price of our common limited partner units on the grant date. The estimated fair value of our phantom units is amortized over the vesting period using the straight line method. Awards vest over a five-year service period. As of March 31, 2014, there was $0.8 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested equity-based compensation arrangements, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.7 years.
9. Segment Data
We report our assets and operating results in two reportable segments: (i) pipelines and transportation and (ii) wholesale marketing and terminalling:
• | The pipelines and transportation segment provides crude oil gathering, transportation and storage services to Delek's refining operations and independent third parties. |
• | The wholesale marketing and terminalling segment provides marketing and terminalling services to Delek's refining operations and independent third parties. |
Our operating segments adhere to the same accounting polices used for our consolidated financial statements. Our operating segments are managed separately because each segment requires different industry knowledge, technology and marketing strategies. Decisions concerning the allocation of resources and assessment of operating performance are made based on this segmentation. Management measures the operating performance of each of its reportable segments based on the segment contribution margin. Segment contribution margin is defined as net sales less cost of sales and operating expenses, excluding depreciation and amortization.
On February 10, 2014, we acquired the El Dorado Terminal and Tank Assets from Delek. Our historical financial statements have been retrospectively adjusted to reflect the results of operations attributable to the El Dorado Terminal and Tank Assets as if we owned the assets for all periods presented. The results of the El Dorado Terminal and the El Dorado Storage Tanks are included in the wholesale marketing and terminalling segment and the pipelines and transportation segment, respectively.
On July 26, 2013, we acquired the Tyler Terminal and Tank Assets from Delek. Our historical financial statements have been retrospectively adjusted to reflect the results of operations attributable to the Tyler Terminal and Tank Assets as if we owned the assets for all periods presented. The results of the Tyler Terminal and the Tyler Tank Assets are included in the wholesale marketing and terminalling segment and the pipelines and transportation segment, respectively.

In accordance with ASC 360, Property, Plant & Equipment, we evaluate the realizability of property, plant and equipment as events occur that might indicate potential impairment.
10. Fair Value Measurements
The fair values of financial instruments are estimated based upon current market conditions and quoted market prices for the same or similar instruments. Management estimates that the carrying value approximates fair value for all of our assets and liabilities that fall under the scope of ASC 825, Financial Instruments.
We apply the provisions of ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements ("ASC 820"), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for its measurement and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC 820 applies to our interest rate and commodity derivatives that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The standard also requires that we assess the impact of nonperformance risk on our derivatives. Nonperformance risk is not considered material at this time.
ASC 820 requires disclosures that categorize assets and liabilities measured at fair value into one of three different levels depending on the observability of the inputs employed in the measurement. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are observable inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly through market-corroborated inputs. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability reflecting our assumptions about pricing by market participants.
Interest rate swaps and caps are generally valued using industry-standard models that consider various assumptions, including quoted forward prices for interest rates, time value, volatility factors and contractual prices for the underlying instruments, as well as other relevant economic measures. The degree to which these inputs are observable in the forward markets determines the classification as Level 2 or 3. Our contracts are valued using quotations provided by brokers based on exchange pricing and/or price index developers such as Platts or Argus and are, therefore, classified as Level 2.
The fair value hierarchy for our financial assets accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 was as follows (in thousands):
As of March 31, 2014 | ||||||||||||||||

The derivative values above are based on analysis of each contract as the fundamental unit of account as required by ASC 820. Derivative assets and liabilities with the same counterparty are not netted where the legal right of offset exists. This differs from the presentation in the financial statements which reflects our policy under the guidance of ASC 815-10-45, Derivatives and Hedging - Other Presentation Matters ("ASC 815-10-45"), wherein we have elected to offset the fair value amounts recognized for multiple derivative instruments executed with the same counterparty where the legal right of offset exists.
18
Our policy under the guidance of ASC 815-10-45, is to net the fair value amounts recognized for multiple derivative instruments executed with the same counterparty and offset these values against the cash collateral arising from these derivative positions. As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, no cash collateral was held by counterparty brokerage firms.
11. Derivative Instruments
From time to time, we may also enter into interest rate hedging agreements to limit variable interest rate exposure under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The prior credit facility required us to maintain interest rate hedging arrangements on at least 50% of the amount funded on November 7, 2012 under the credit facility, which was required to be in place for at least a three-year period beginning no later than March 7, 2013. Effective February 25, 2013, we entered into interest rate hedges in the form of a LIBOR interest rate cap for a term of three years for a total notional amount of $45.0 million, thereby meeting the requirements in effect at that time. These requirements were eliminated in connection with our entry into the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement in July 2013.
The tables below present the fair value of our derivative instruments, as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 (in thousands).

12. Commitments and Contingencies
Litigation
In the ordinary conduct of our business, we are from time to time subject to lawsuits, investigations and claims, including environmental claims and employee-related matters. Although we cannot predict with certainty the ultimate resolution of lawsuits, investigations and claims asserted against us, including civil penalties or other enforcement actions, we do not believe that any currently pending legal proceeding or proceedings to which we are a party will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
Rate Regulation of Petroleum Pipelines
The rates and terms and conditions of service on certain of our pipelines are subject to regulation by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (“FERC”) under the Interstate Commerce Act (“ICA”) and by the state regulatory commissions in the states in which we transport crude oil and refined products, including the Railroad Commission of Texas, the Louisiana Public Service Commission, and the Arkansas Public Service Commission. Certain of our pipeline systems are subject to such regulation and have filed tariffs with the appropriate entities. We also comply with the reporting requirements for these pipelines. Other of our pipelines have received a waiver from application of FERC's tariff requirements but will comply with other regulatory requirements.
FERC regulates interstate transportation under the ICA, the Energy Policy Act of 1992 and the rules and regulations promulgated under those laws. The ICA and its implementing regulations require that tariff rates for interstate service on oil pipelines, including pipelines that transport crude oil and refined products in interstate commerce (collectively referred to as “petroleum pipelines”), be just and reasonable and non-discriminatory and that such rates and terms and conditions of service be filed with FERC. Under the ICA, shippers may challenge new or existing rates or services. FERC is authorized to suspend the effectiveness of a challenged rate for up to seven months, though rates are typically not suspended for the maximum allowable period. Tariff rates are typically contractually subject to increase or decrease on July 1 of each year, beginning on July 1, 2013, by the amount of any change in FERC oil pipeline index or, in the case of the east Texas marketing agreement and the Tyler Throughput and Tankage Agreement to other inflation based indexes; provided, however, that in no event will the fees be adjusted below the amount initially set forth in the applicable agreement.
While FERC regulates rates for shipments of crude oil or refined products in interstate commerce, state agencies may regulate rates and service for shipments in intrastate commerce. We own pipeline assets in Texas, Arkansas, and Louisiana.
Environmental Health and Safety
We are subject to various federal, state and local environmental and safety laws enforced by agencies including the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (the "EPA"), the U.S. Department of Transportation ("DOT") / Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration, the U.S. Department of Labor / Occupational Safety and Health Administration, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, the Texas Railroad Commission, the Arkansas Department of Environmental Quality (the "ADEQ") and the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation as well as other state and federal agencies. Numerous permits or other authorizations are required under these laws for the operation of our terminals, pipelines, and related operations, and may be subject to revocation, modification and renewal.
These laws and permits raise potential exposure to future claims and lawsuits involving environmental and safety matters which could include soil and water contamination, air pollution, personal injury and property damage allegedly caused by substances which we manufactured, handled, used, released or disposed, or that relate to pre-existing conditions for which we have assumed responsibility. We believe that our current operations are in substantial compliance with existing environmental and safety requirements. However, there have been and will continue to be ongoing discussions about environmental and safety matters between us and federal and state authorities, including notices of violations, citations and other enforcement actions, some of which have resulted or may result in changes to operating procedures and in capital expenditures. While it is often difficult to quantify future environmental or safety related expenditures, we anticipate that continuing capital investments and changes in operating procedures will be required for the foreseeable future to comply with existing and new requirements as well as evolving interpretations and more strict enforcement of existing laws and regulations.
Crude Oil Releases
On March 9, 2013, a release of crude oil was detected within a pumping facility at our Magnolia Station located west of the El Dorado Refinery. The pumping facility is owned by our subsidiary SALA Gathering Systems, LLC. Since detecting the release we have worked to contain the release, recover the released crude oil and remediate those areas impacted by the release, coordinating
20
our efforts with the EPA and state authorities to restore the impacted area to the satisfaction of the appropriate regulatory authorities. As of the date of this filing, we believe we have substantially completed all necessary remediation, restoration and monitoring of the areas affected by the crude oil release, although there are on-going discussions with ADEQ regarding whether additional monitoring or remediation of soil may be necessary. The release did not impact the delivery of crude oil from the Magnolia Station to the El Dorado Refinery and did not interrupt the operations of the El Dorado Pipeline connected to the Magnolia Station.
We believe the total costs and liabilities associated with this event are immaterial to our operations and financial results as Delek is required, pursuant to the terms of the Omnibus Agreement (as defined in Note 13) to pay to us any costs in excess of $0.25 million with respect to this event that we incurred as a result of the failure at the pumping facility and resulting release.
Subsequent to the release at Magnolia Station, additional crude oil releases have been identified including, without limitation, releases near Macedonia, Arkansas in October 2013 and Haynesville, Louisiana in April 2014. See Note 14 for further information regarding the release in Haynesville, Louisiana. Based on current information available to us, we do not believe the total costs associated with these events, including any fines or penalties and net of any reimbursement and/or indemnification by Delek pursuant to the Omnibus Agreement (as defined in Note 13) and partial insurance reimbursement, will have a material adverse effect upon our business, financial condition or results of operations.
Contracts and Agreements
Substantially all of the petroleum products we sell in west Texas were purchased from two suppliers, Noble Petro, Inc. ("Noble Petro") and Magellan Asset Services, L.P. ("Magellan"). Under the terms of a supply contract (the "Abilene Contract") with Noble Petro, we have the right to purchase up to 20,350 bpd of petroleum products at the Abilene, Texas terminal, which we own, for sales at the Abilene and San Angelo terminals and to exchange barrels with third parties. We lease the Abilene and San Angelo, Texas terminals to Noble Petro, under a separate Terminal and Pipeline Lease and Operating Agreement, with a term that runs concurrent with that of the Abilene Contract. The Abilene Contract expires on December 31, 2017. There are no options to renew the contract.
Under the terms of our contract with Magellan (the "East Houston Contract"), we had, prior to January 31, 2014, the right to purchase up to 7,000 bpd of refined products for resale at third-party terminals located in Aledo, Odessa and Frost, Texas along the Magellan Orion Pipeline. We owned the inventory purchased under the East Houston Contract. To hedge our exposure to fluctuations in commodity prices for the period between our purchase of products from Magellan and subsequent sales to our customers, from time to time we entered into Gulf Coast product swap arrangements with respect to the products we purchased. The East Houston contract was terminated in January 2014. We are currently purchasing spot barrels on similar terms from third parties for sale to wholesale customers.
Letters of Credit
As of March 31, 2014, we had in place letters of credit totaling approximately $13.5 million under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement primarily securing obligations with respect to gasoline and diesel purchases. No amounts were outstanding under these letters of credit at March 31, 2014.
Operating Leases
We lease certain equipment and have surface leases under various operating lease arrangements, most of which provide the option, after the initial lease term, to renew the leases. None of these lease arrangements include fixed rental rate increases. Lease expense for all operating leases totaled $0.2 million for both the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013.
We have a ground lease agreement with Lion Oil effective November 7, 2012 for the land on which an above ground storage tank and related facilities are located. The land measures approximately seven acres of Lion Oil's refinery site. The tank and related facilities are used for the storage and throughput of such crude oil or other hydrocarbon substances or any resulting refined products. The fees paid to Lion Oil were nominal for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The term of this agreement is co-terminous with the lease and access agreement discussed below.
21
In connection with the Tyler Acquisition, we and Delek entered into a lease and access agreement with respect to the real property at the Tyler Terminal and Tank Assets. Under this agreement, we will lease from Delek the real property on which the Tyler Terminal and Tank Assets are located for $100.00 annually, paid in advance, with an initial term of 50 years with automatic renewal for a maximum of four successive 10-year periods thereafter.
In connection with the El Dorado Acquisition, we and Delek entered into a lease and access agreement with respect to the real property at the El Dorado Terminal and Tank Assets. Under this agreement, we will lease from Delek the real property on which the El Dorado Terminal and Tank Assets are located for $100.00 annually, paid in advance, with an initial term of 50 years with automatic renewal for a maximum of four successive 10-year periods thereafter.
13. Related Party Transactions
Commercial Agreements
The Partnership has various long-term, fee-based commercial agreements with Delek under which we provide crude oil gathering, crude oil and refined products transportation and storage services and marketing and terminalling services to Delek. Each of these agreements include minimum quarterly volume or throughput commitments and have tariffs or fees indexed to inflation, provided that the tariffs or fees will not be decreased below the initial amount. Fees under each agreement are payable to us monthly by Delek or certain third parties to whom Delek has assigned certain of its rights. In most circumstances, if Delek or the applicable third party assignee fails to meet or exceed the minimum volume or throughput commitment during any calendar quarter, Delek, and not any third party assignee, will be required to make a quarterly shortfall payment to us equal to the volume of the shortfall multiplied by the applicable fee.
The tariffs, throughput fees and the storage fees under our agreements with Delek are subject to increase or decrease on July 1 of each year, by the amount of any change in the FERC oil pipeline index or, in the case of the east Texas marketing agreement, to the consumer price index and in the case of the El Dorado and Tyler Terminal and Tank Assets to other inflation based indexes; provided, however, that in no event will the fees be adjusted below the amount initially set forth in the applicable agreement.
We believe the terms and conditions under these agreements, as well as our other agreements with Delek described below, are generally no less favorable to either party than those that could have been negotiated with unaffiliated parties with respect to similar services. See our Annual Report on Form 10-K for a description of our commercial agreements and other agreements with Delek. We entered into the following agreements with Delek in 2014:
Asset/Operation | Initiation Date | Initial/Maximum Term (years) (1) | Service | Minimum Throughput Commitment (bpd) | Fee | ||||
El Dorado Throughput and Tankage: | |||||||||
Refined Products Throughput | February 2014 | 8 / 16 | Dedicated Terminalling and storage | 11,000 | $0.50/bbl (2) | ||||
Storage | February 2014 | N/A | $1,299,000/month (2) | ||||||
El Dorado Lease and Access | February 2014 | 50 | Real property lease | N/A | $100 annually (3) | ||||
El Dorado Site Services | February 2014 | 8 / 16 | Shared services | N/A | $200,000 annually (3) |
(1) | Maximum term gives effect to the extension of the commercial agreement pursuant to the terms thereof. |
(2) | Fees payable to the Partnership by Delek. |
(3) | Fees payable to Delek by the Partnership. |
El Dorado Throughput and Tankage Agreement. On February 10, 2014, in connection with the El Dorado Transaction, Lion Oil and OpCo, and, for limited purposes, J. Aron & Company ("J. Aron"), entered into the El Dorado Throughput and Tankage Agreement. Under the El Dorado Throughput and Tankage Agreement, OpCo will provide Lion Oil with throughput and storage
22
services in return for throughput and storage fees. The initial term of the El Dorado Throughput and Tankage Agreement is eight years and Lion Oil, at its sole option, may extend the term for two renewal terms of four years each. Effective February 10, 2014, Lion Oil assigned J. Aron its rights to use and transport materials through the El Dorado Terminal and Tank Assets until the expiration of Lion Oil’s amended and restated supply and offtake agreement with J. Aron. Despite the assignment Lion Oil still retains certain rights and obligations under the Throughput and Tankage Agreement.
El Dorado Lease and Access Agreement. Lion Oil and OpCo entered into the El Dorado Lease and Access Agreement (the "El Dorado Lease"). Under the El Dorado Lease, OpCo leases from Lion Oil the real property on which the El Dorado Terminal and Tank Assets are located. The El Dorado Lease has an initial term of 50 years with automatic renewal for a maximum of four successive 10-year periods thereafter.
El Dorado Site Services Agreement. Lion Oil and OpCo entered into the El Dorado Site Services Agreement. Under the El Dorado Site Services Agreement, Lion Oil provides OpCo with shared use of certain services, materials and facilities that are necessary to operate and maintain the El Dorado Terminal and Tank Assets as currently operated and maintained. The term of the El Dorado Site Services Agreement is co-terminous with the El Dorado Lease discussed above.
Omnibus Agreement
The Partnership entered into an Omnibus Agreement with Delek, our general partner, OpCo, Lion Oil and certain of the Partnership’s and Delek’s other subsidiaries upon the completion of the Offering. In this Periodic Report on Form 10-Q, the Partnership refers to this Omnibus Agreement as the “Omnibus Agreement.” On July 26, 2013, in connection with the Tyler Acquisition, the Partnership entered into an amendment and restatement of the Omnibus Agreement (the “First Omnibus Amendment”). On February 10, 2014, in connection with the El Dorado Acquisition, the Partnership entered into a second amendment and restatement of the Omnibus Agreement (the “Second Omnibus Amendment”). The Second Omnibus Amendment includes the following, among other things: (i) certain modifications in the reimbursement by Delek and certain of its subsidiaries under the Omnibus Agreement for certain operating expenses and capital expenditures incurred by the Partnership or its subsidiaries, (ii) certain modifications of the indemnification provisions under the Omnibus Agreement in favor of the Partnership with respect to certain environmental matters, and (iii) the increase of the annual administrative fee payable by us to Delek under the Omnibus Agreement for corporate general and administrative services.
The annual administrative fee payable by the Partnership to Delek for corporate general and administrative services that Delek and its affiliates provide under the Second Omnibus Amendment increased from $3.0 million to $3.3 million, which is prorated and payable monthly.
Under the Second Omnibus Amendment, Delek has agreed to reimburse us for (i) certain expenses that we incur for inspections, maintenance and repairs to any storage tanks we acquired in the El Dorado Acquisition to cause such storage tanks to comply with applicable regulatory and/or industry standards, (ii) certain expenses that we incur for inspections, maintenance and repairs to any of the storage tanks contributed to us by Delek (subject to a deductible of $0.5 million per year) that are necessary to comply with the DOT pipeline integrity rules and certain American Petroleum Institute storage tank standards for a period of five years and (iii) certain non-discretionary maintenance capital expenditures with respect to certain of our assets in excess of certain amounts, as disclosed in the full agreement filed with our Form 8-K dated February 14, 2014.
Predecessors' Transactions
Related-party transactions of the Predecessors were settled through division equity. Revenues from affiliates consist of revenues from gathering, pipeline transportation, storage, wholesale marketing and products terminalling services to Delek and its affiliates based on regulated tariff rates or contractually based fees.
Costs related specifically to us have been identified and included in the accompanying consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. Prior to the Offering and the Tyler and El Dorado Acquisitions, we were not allocated certain corporate costs. These costs were primarily allocated based on a percentage of salaries expense and property, plant and equipment costs. In the opinion of management, the methods for allocating these costs are reasonable. It is not practicable to estimate the costs that would have been incurred by us if we had been operated on a stand-alone basis.
23
Summary of Transactions
A summary of revenue and expense transactions with Delek, including expenses directly charged and allocated to our Predecessors, are as follows (in thousands):
Three Months Ended March 31, | ||||||||
2014 | 2013 | |||||||
Revenues | $ | 25,282 | $ | 16,613 | ||||
Operating and maintenance expenses (1) | 5,392 | 3,749 | ||||||
General and administrative expenses (2) | $ | 1,282 | $ | 1,200 |
(1) | Operating and maintenance expenses include costs allocated to the Tyler Predecessor and the El Dorado Predecessor for operating support provided to the Tyler Predecessor by Delek Refining and to the El Dorado Predecessor by Lion Oil, including certain labor related costs, property and liability insurance costs and certain other operating expenses. The costs that were allocated to us by Delek Refining were $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The costs that were allocated to us by Lion Oil were $0.4 million and $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. |
(2) | General and administrative expenses include costs allocated to the Tyler Predecessor and El Dorado Predecessor for general and administrative support provided to the Tyler Predecessor by Delek Refining and to the El Dorado Predecessor by Lion Oil, including services such as corporate management, risk management, accounting and human resources. The costs that were allocated to us by Delek Refining were $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The costs that were allocated to us by Lion Oil were $0.1 million and $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. |
14. Subsequent Events
Distribution Declaration
On April 24, 2014 our general partner's board of directors declared a quarterly cash distribution of $0.425 per unit, based on the available cash as of the first quarter of 2014, payable on May 14, 2014, to unitholders of record on May 6, 2014.
Haynesville Spill
On April 25, 2014, a release of an estimated 300 to 400 barrels of crude oil occurred from a gathering line near Haynesville, Louisiana. Some of the oil flowed into a section of a nearby dry ravine, but no significant environmental or public impacts have been identified. Emergency cleanup operations were coordinated with Louisiana and federal officials and concluded on May 7, 2014. Site maintenance, and remediation, if determined to be necessary, may continue for several months or longer. Based on current information available to us, we do not believe the total costs associated with this event, including any fines or penalties and net of any reimbursement and/or indemnification by Delek pursuant to the Omnibus Agreement and partial insurance reimbursement, will have a material adverse effect upon our business, financial condition or results of operations.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Unless the context otherwise requires, references in this report to "Delek Logistics Partners, LP," the "Partnership," and "we," "our," "us," or like terms, refer to Delek Logistics Partners, LP and its general partner and subsidiaries. Unless the context otherwise requires, references in this report to "Delek" refer collectively to Delek US Holdings, Inc. and any of its subsidiaries, other than Delek Logistics Partners, LP, its subsidiaries and its general partner. Those statements in this section that are not historical in nature should be deemed forward-looking statements that are inherently uncertain. See "Forward-Looking Statements" below for a discussion of the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in these statements.
On February 10, 2014, the Partnership, through its wholly owned subsidiary Delek Logistics Operating, LLC ("OpCo") acquired from Delek (i) the refined products terminal (the “El Dorado Terminal”) located at Delek's El Dorado, Arkansas Refinery (the "El Dorado Refinery") and (ii) 158 storage tanks and certain ancillary assets (the "El Dorado Storage Tanks" and together with the El Dorado Terminal, the “El Dorado Terminal and Tank Assets”) adjacent to and at the El Dorado Refinery (such transaction, the “El Dorado Acquisition”).
On July 26, 2013, we acquired from Delek (i) the refined products terminal (the “Tyler Terminal”) located at Delek's Tyler, Texas Refinery (the "Tyler Refinery") and (ii) 96 storage tanks and certain ancillary assets (the "Tyler Tank Assets" and together with the Tyler Terminal, the “Tyler Terminal and Tank Assets”) adjacent to the Tyler Refinery (such transaction, the “Tyler Acquisition”).
The El Dorado Acquisition and the Tyler Acquisition were accounted for as transfers between entities under common control. As an entity under common control with Delek, we record the assets that Delek has contributed to us on our balance sheet at Delek's historical basis instead of fair value. Transfers between entities under common control are accounted for as if the transfer occurred at the beginning of the period, and prior years are retrospectively adjusted to furnish comparable information. Accordingly, the accompanying financial statements and related notes of the Partnership have been retrospectively adjusted to include the historical results of the El Dorado Terminal and Tank Assets for all periods presented through February 10, 2014 (the "El Dorado Predecessor") and the historical results of the Tyler Terminal and Tank Assets for all periods presented through July 26, 2013 (the "Tyler Predecessor"). We refer to the historical results of the El Dorado and Tyler Predecessors collectively as our "Predecessors."
You should read the following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with our historical condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto.
Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These forward-looking statements reflect our current estimates, expectations and projections about our future results, performance, prospects and opportunities. Forward-looking statements include, among other things, the information concerning our possible future results of operations, business and growth strategies, financing plans, expectations that regulatory developments or other matters will not have a material adverse effect on our business or financial condition, our competitive position and the effects of competition, the projected growth of the industry in which we operate, and the benefits and synergies to be obtained from our completed and any future acquisitions, and statements of management’s goals and objectives, and other similar expressions concerning matters that are not historical facts. Words such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “predicts,” “potential,” “continue,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “future,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “estimates,” “appears,” “projects” and similar expressions, as well as statements in future tense, identify forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking statements should not be read as a guarantee of future performance or results, and will not necessarily be accurate indications of the times at or by which such performance or results will be achieved. Forward-looking information is based on information available at the time and/or management’s good faith belief with respect to future events, and is subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual performance or results to differ materially from those expressed in the statements. Important factors that, individually or in the aggregate, could cause such differences include, but are not limited to:
• | our substantial dependence on Delek or its assignees and its ability to pay us under our commercial agreements; |
• | the age of our assets and operating hazards and other risks incidental to transporting, storing and gathering crude oil, intermediate and refined products, including, but not limited to, spills, releases and tank failures. |
• | the timing and extent of changes in commodity prices and demand for Delek’s refined products; |
• | the suspension, reduction or termination of Delek's or its assignees' or any third party's obligations under our commercial agreements; |
25
• | disruptions due to acts of God, equipment interruption or failure at our facilities, Delek’s facilities or third-party facilities on which our business is dependent; |
• | our reliance on information technology systems in our day to day operations; |
• | changes in general economic conditions; |
• | competitive conditions in our industry; |
• | actions taken by our customers and competitors; |
• | the demand for crude oil, refined products and transportation and storage services; |
• | our ability to successfully implement our business plan; |
• | our ability to complete internal growth projects on time and on budget; |
• | Delek's inability to grow as expected; |
• | natural disasters, weather-related delays, casualty losses and other matters beyond our control; |
• | interest rates; |
• | labor relations; |
• | large customer defaults; |
• | changes in the availability and cost of capital and the price and availability of debt and equity financing; |
• | changes in tax status; |
• | the effects of existing and future laws and governmental regulations, including but not limited to the rules and regulations promulgated by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (the "FERC"); |
• | changes in insurance markets impacting costs and the level and types of coverage available; |
• | the effects of future litigation; and |
• | other factors discussed elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. |
In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, our actual results of operations and execution of our business strategy could differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, the forward-looking statements, and you should not place undue reliance upon them. In addition, past financial and/or operating performance is not necessarily a reliable indicator of future performance and you should not use our historical performance to anticipate results or future period results or trends. We can give no assurances that any of the events anticipated by the forward-looking statements will occur or, if any such events do occur, what impact they will have on our results of operations and financial condition.
Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date the statements are made. We assume no obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect actual results, changes in assumptions or changes in other factors affecting forward-looking information except to the extent required by applicable securities laws. If we do update one or more forward-looking statements, no inference should be drawn that we will make additional updates with respect thereto or with respect to other forward-looking statements.
Business Overview
The Partnership primarily owns and operates crude oil and intermediate and refined products logistics and marketing assets. We gather, transport and store crude oil and market, distribute, transport and store refined products in select regions of the southeastern United States and Texas for Delek and third parties, primarily in support of Delek’s Tyler and El Dorado Refineries. A substantial majority of our existing assets are both integral to and dependent on the success of Delek’s refining operations as our assets are contracted exclusively to Delek in support of its Tyler and El Dorado Refineries.
The Partnership is not a taxable entity for federal income tax purposes or the income taxes of those states that follow the federal income tax treatment of partnerships. Instead, for purposes of these income taxes, each partner of the Partnership is required to take into account its share of items of income, gain, loss and deduction in computing its federal and state income tax liabilities,
26
regardless of whether cash distributions are made to the partner by the Partnership. The taxable income reportable to each partner takes into account differences between the tax basis and the fair market value of our assets and financial reporting bases of assets and liabilities, the acquisition price of their units and the taxable income allocation requirements under the partnership agreement.
Our Reporting Segments and Assets
Our business consists of two operating segments: (i) our pipelines and transportation segment and (ii) our wholesale marketing and terminalling segment.
Our pipelines and transportation segment primarily consists of assets divided into six operating systems: (i) our Lion Pipeline System, which includes the results of a pipeline for which we lease the capacity from Enterprise TE Products Pipeline Company, LLC, (ii) our SALA Gathering System, (iii) our Paline Pipeline System, (iv) our East Texas Crude Logistics System (including the Nettleton Pipeline and McMurrey Pipeline System), (v) the Tyler-Big Sandy Pipeline, (vi) the Tyler Tank Assets, and (vii) the El Dorado Storage Tanks. These assets provide crude oil gathering, crude oil and refined products transportation and storage services primarily in support of Delek's refining operations in Tyler, Texas and El Dorado, Arkansas. Additionally, this segment provides crude oil transportation services to certain third parties, including a major integrated oil company. In providing these services, we do not take ownership of the products or crude oil that we transport or store; and, therefore, we are not directly exposed to changes in commodity prices.
Our wholesale marketing and terminalling segment consists primarily of the following assets: (i) refined products terminals in Abilene, Texas and San Angelo, Texas, which we lease to Noble Petro, Inc. (“Noble Petro”), (ii) product pipelines in west Texas connecting the Abilene, Texas and San Angelo, Texas terminals to the Magellan Orion pipeline, which we also lease to Noble Petro, (iii) refined products terminals in Big Sandy, Texas, Memphis, Tennessee, Nashville, Tennessee, and North Little Rock, Arkansas, (iv) the Tyler Terminal, and (v) the El Dorado Terminal. We generate revenue in our wholesale marketing and terminalling segment by providing marketing services for the refined products output of the Tyler Refinery, engaging in wholesale activity at our Abilene, Texas and San Angelo, Texas terminals, and at terminals owned by third parties, whereby we purchase light products from third parties for sale and exchange to third parties and by providing terminalling services at our refined product terminals to independent third parties and Delek.
Recent Developments
El Dorado Terminal and Tankage Acquisition
On February 10, 2014, the Partnership and OpCo completed a transaction with Lion Oil Company ("Lion Oil"), pursuant to which OpCo acquired the El Dorado Terminal and Tank Assets. The purchase price paid for the assets acquired was approximately $95.9 million in cash. The assets acquired in the El Dorado Acquisition consist of:
• | The El Dorado Terminal, which consists of a truck loading rack with three loading bays supplied by pipeline from storage tanks located at the El Dorado Refinery, along with certain ancillary assets. Total throughput capacity for the El Dorado Terminal is approximately 26,700 barrels per day ("bpd"). For the year ended December 31, 2013, approximately 11,495 bpd of refined products were throughput at the El Dorado Terminal. |
• | The El Dorado Storage Tanks, which consist of 158 storage tanks and certain ancillary assets (such as pumps and piping) located adjacent to and at the El Dorado Refinery with an aggregate shell capacity of approximately 2.5 million barrels. |
On February 10, 2014, in connection with the El Dorado Acquisition, the Partnership entered into and amended, as applicable, the following definitive agreements:
El Dorado Throughput and Tankage Agreement. Lion Oil and OpCo, and, for limited purposes, J. Aron & Company ("J. Aron"), entered into the El Dorado Throughput and Tankage Agreement. Under the El Dorado Throughput and Tankage Agreement, OpCo will provide Lion Oil with throughput and storage services in return for throughput and storage fees. The initial term of the El Dorado Throughput and Tankage Agreement is eight years and Lion Oil, at its sole option, may extend the term for two renewal terms of four years each. Effective February 10, 2014, Lion Oil assigned J. Aron its rights to use and transport materials through the El Dorado Terminal and Tank Assets until the expiration of Lion Oil’s amended and restated supply and offtake agreement with J. Aron, which currently runs through April 30, 2017. Despite the assignment, Lion Oil still retains certain rights and obligations under the El Dorado Throughput and Tankage Agreement, including remaining liable for payment of minimum throughput requirements under the agreement.
27
Second Omnibus Amendment. The Partnership entered into a second amendment and restatement of the Omnibus Agreement (the "Second Omnibus Amendment") with our general partner, OpCo, certain of the Partnership’s other subsidiaries, Delek, Lion Oil and Delek Refining, Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of Delek. The Second Omnibus Amendment includes, among other things, the following: (i) certain modifications in the reimbursement amounts to be paid by Delek and certain of its subsidiaries under the Omnibus Agreement for certain operating expenses and capital expenditures incurred by the Partnership or its subsidiaries; (ii) certain modifications of the indemnification provisions under the Omnibus Agreement in favor of the Partnership with respect to certain environmental matters; and (iii) the increase of the annual administrative fee payable by the Partnership to Delek under the Omnibus Agreement for corporate general and administrative services from $3.0 million to $3.3 million, which is prorated and payable monthly.
El Dorado Lease and Access Agreement. Lion Oil and OpCo entered into the El Dorado Lease and Access Agreement (the "El Dorado Lease"). Under the El Dorado Lease, OpCo leases from Lion Oil the real property on which the El Dorado Terminal and Tank Assets are located. The El Dorado Lease has an initial term of 50 years with automatic renewal for a maximum of four successive 10-year periods thereafter.
El Dorado Site Services Agreement. Lion Oil and OpCo entered into the El Dorado Site Services Agreement. Under the El Dorado Site Services Agreement, Lion Oil provides OpCo with shared use of certain services, materials and facilities that are necessary to operate and maintain the El Dorado Terminal and Tank Assets as currently operated and maintained. The term of the El Dorado Site Services Agreement is co-terminous with the El Dorado Lease discussed above.
How We Generate Revenue
The Partnership generates revenue by charging fees for gathering, transporting and storing crude oil and for marketing, distributing, transporting and storing refined products. A substantial majority of our contribution margin, which we define as net sales less cost of goods sold and operating expenses, is derived from commercial agreements with Delek with initial terms ranging from five to ten years, which we believe enhances the stability of our cash flows. As more fully described below, our commercial agreements with Delek include minimum volume commitments, which we believe will provide a stable revenue stream in the future.
Commercial Agreements
Commercial Agreements with Delek
The Partnership has various long-term, fee-based commercial agreements with Delek under which we provide crude oil gathering, crude oil and refined products transportation and storage services and marketing and terminalling services to Delek, and Delek commits to provide us with minimum monthly throughput volumes of crude oil and refined products. See our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 for a description of our commercial and other agreements with Delek and our agreements with third parties.
We also amended certain of these agreements and entered into several new agreements with Delek as part of the El Dorado Acquisition on February 10, 2014. See "—Recent Developments—El Dorado Terminal and Tankage Acquisition" for a description of each of these agreements.
How We Evaluate Our Operations
We use a variety of financial and operating metrics to analyze our segment performance. These metrics are significant factors in assessing our operating results and profitability and include: (i) volumes (including pipeline throughput and terminal throughput and storage and sales volumes); (ii) contribution margin and gross margin per barrel; (iii) operating and maintenance expenses; and (iv) EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow. We define EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow below.
Volumes. The amount of revenue we generate primarily depends on the volumes of crude oil and refined products that we handle or sell, as the case may be, in our pipeline, transportation, terminalling and marketing operations. These volumes are primarily affected by the supply of and demand for crude oil and refined products in the markets served directly or indirectly by us or our assets. Although Delek has committed to minimum volumes under the commercial agreements described above, our results of operations will be impacted by:
• | Delek’s utilization of our assets in excess of its minimum volume commitments; |
• | our ability to identify and execute acquisitions and organic expansion projects, and capture incremental Delek or third-party volumes; |
• | our ability to increase throughput volumes or sales at our refined products terminals and provide additional ancillary services at those terminals, such as ethanol blending and additives injection; |
28
• | our ability to identify and serve new customers in our marketing operations; and |
• | our ability to make connections to third-party facilities and pipelines. |
Contribution Margin and Gross Margin per Barrel. Because we do not allocate general and administrative expenses by segment, we measure the performance of our segments by the amount of contribution margin generated in operations. Contribution margin is calculated as net sales less cost of sales and operating expenses.
For our wholesale marketing and terminalling segment, we also measure gross margin per barrel. The gross margin per barrel reflects the gross margin (net sales less cost of sales) of the wholesale marketing operations divided by the number of barrels of refined products sold during the measurement period. Both contribution margin and gross margin per barrel can be affected by fluctuations in the prices of gasoline, distillate fuel and Renewable Identification Numbers ("RINs"). Historically, the profitability of our wholesale marketing operations has been affected by commodity price volatility, specifically as it relates to changes in the price of refined products between the time we purchase these products from our suppliers and the time we sell these products to our wholesale customers and the fluctuation in the value of RINs.
Operating and Maintenance Expenses. We seek to maximize the profitability of our operations by effectively managing operating and maintenance expenses. These expenses are comprised primarily of labor expenses, lease costs, utility costs, insurance premiums, repairs and maintenance expenses and property taxes. These expenses generally remain relatively stable across broad ranges of throughput volumes but can fluctuate from period to period depending on the mix of activities performed during that period and the timing of these expenses. We will seek to manage our maintenance expenditures on our pipelines and terminals by scheduling maintenance over time to avoid significant variability in our maintenance expenditures and minimize their impact on our cash flow.
Our operating and maintenance expenses will also be affected by the imbalance gain and loss provisions in our commercial agreements with Delek. Under our commercial agreements with Delek relating to our Lion Pipeline System and our East Texas Crude Logistics System, we bear any crude oil and refined product volume losses on each of our pipelines in excess of 0.25%. Under our commercial agreements with Delek relating to our Memphis and Big Sandy Terminals, we will bear any refined product volume losses in each of our terminals in excess of 0.25%. The value of any crude oil or refined product imbalance gains or losses resulting from these contractual provisions is determined by reference to the monthly average reference price for the applicable commodity. Any gains and losses under these provisions will reduce or increase, respectively, our operating and maintenance expenses in the period in which they are realized.
EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow. We define EBITDA as net income (loss) before net interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization expense. We define distributable cash flow as EBITDA less net cash paid for interest, maintenance and regulatory capital expenditures and income taxes. Distributable cash flow will not reflect changes in working capital balances. Distributable cash flow and EBITDA are not presentations made in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP").
EBITDA and distributable cash flow are non-U.S. GAAP supplemental financial measures that management and external users of our condensed consolidated financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies, may use to assess:
• | our operating performance as compared to other publicly traded partnerships in the midstream energy industry, without regard to historical cost basis or, in the case of EBITDA, financing methods; |
• | the ability of our assets to generate sufficient cash flow to make distributions to our unitholders; |
• | ability to incur and service debt and fund capital expenditures; and |
• | the viability of acquisitions and other capital expenditure projects and the returns on investment of various investment opportunities. |
We believe that the presentation of EBITDA and distributable cash flow provides useful information to investors in assessing our financial condition and results of operations. EBITDA and distributable cash flow should not be considered alternatives to net income, operating income, cash from operations or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. EBITDA and distributable cash flow have important limitations as analytical tools because they exclude some but not all items that affect net income and net cash provided by operating activities. Additionally, because EBITDA and distributable cash flow may be defined differently by other companies in our industry, our definition of EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing its utility. For a reconciliation of EBITDA to its most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, please refer to "Results of Operations—Statement of Operations Data" below.
Factors Affecting the Comparability of Our Financial Results
Our future results of operations may not be comparable to our historical results of operations for the reasons described below:
29
Revenues. There are differences between the way the Predecessors recorded revenues and the way the Partnership records revenues after the acquisitions of our Predecessors' assets. Because our assets, including the El Dorado Terminal and Tank Assets and the Tyler Terminal and Tank Assets, were historically a part of the integrated operations of Delek, the Predecessors generally recognized the costs and most revenue associated with the gathering, pipeline, transportation, terminalling and storage services provided to Delek on an intercompany basis or charged low throughput fees for transportation. Accordingly, the revenues in the Predecessors' condensed consolidated financial statements are different than those reflected in the Partnership's condensed consolidated financial statements as the Predecessors' amounts relate primarily to amounts received from third parties while the Partnership's revenues will reflect amounts associated with our commercial agreements with Delek in addition to amounts received from third parties.
The Partnership's revenues are generated from the commercial agreements that we entered into with Delek and from agreements with third parties under which we receive fees for gathering, transporting and storing crude oil and marketing, transporting, storing and terminalling intermediate and refined products. Certain of these contracts contain minimum volume commitments and fees that are indexed for inflation. In addition, the tariff rates for our assets that are subject to FERC regulation will be adjusted annually on July 1 of each year in accordance with FERC’s indexing methodology. We expect to generate revenue from ancillary services, such as ethanol blending and additive injection and from transportation and terminalling fees on our pipeline systems and terminals for volumes in excess of minimum volume committed under our agreements with Delek.
General and Administrative Expenses. The Predecessor's general and administrative expenses included direct monthly charges for the management and operation of our logistics assets and certain expenses allocated by Delek for general corporate services, such as treasury, accounting and legal services. These expenses were charged or allocated to the Predecessors based on the nature of the expenses and our proportionate share of employee time and headcount.
Delek continues to charge the Partnership for the management and operation of our logistics assets, including an annual fee of $3.3 million for the provision of various centralized corporate services. Additionally, the Partnership will reimburse Delek for direct or allocated costs and expenses incurred by Delek on behalf of the Partnership. The Partnership also incurs additional incremental annual general and administrative expense as a result of being a publicly traded partnership.
Financing. The Partnership has declared its intent to make a cash distribution to its unitholders at a distribution rate of $0.425 per unit for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 ($1.70 per unit on an annualized basis). Our partnership agreement requires that the Partnership distribute to its unitholders quarterly all of its available cash as defined in the partnership agreement. As a result, the Partnership expects to fund future capital expenditures primarily from operating cash flows, borrowings under our amended and restated senior secured revolving credit agreement (the "Amended and Restated Credit Agreement") and future issuances of equity and debt securities.
Income Tax Expenses. Prior to the our initial public offering (the "Offering"), the DKL Predecessor was included in Delek’s consolidated federal income tax return, in which the DKL Predecessor was taxed at the entity level as a C corporation. The Partnership is treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes, with each partner being separately taxed on its share of taxable income; therefore, there is no federal income tax expense in our financial statements.
Market Trends. Our results of operations are impacted by our ability to utilize our existing assets to fulfill the long-term fee-based agreements we have entered into with Delek and with third parties. Overall demand for gathering and terminalling services in a particular area is generally driven by crude oil production in the area, refining economics and access to alternate delivery and transportation infrastructure. Any of these factors is subject to change over time. As part of our overall business strategy, management considers aspects such as location, acquisition and expansion opportunities and factors impacting the utilization of the refineries and therefore throughputs volumes which may impact our performance in the market.
Seasonality and Customer Maintenance Programs
The volume and throughput of crude oil and refined products transported through our pipelines and sold through our terminals and to third parties is directly affected by the level of supply and demand for all of such products in the markets served directly or indirectly by our assets. Supply and demand for such products fluctuates during the calendar year. Demand for gasoline, for example, is generally higher during the summer months than during the winter months due to seasonal increases in motor vehicle traffic. Demand for asphalt products, which is a substantial product of Delek's El Dorado Refinery, is also lower in the winter months. In addition, our refining customers, such as Delek, occasionally slow or shut down operations to perform planned maintenance during the winter, when demand for their products is lower. Accordingly, these factors can affect the need for crude oil or finished products by our customers and therefore limit our volumes or throughput during these periods, and our operating results will generally be lower during the first and fourth quarters of the year. We believe, however, that many of the potential effects of seasonality on our revenues and contribution margin will be substantially mitigated due to our commercial agreements with Delek that include minimum volume and throughput commitments.
30
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") has defined critical accounting policies as those that are both most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and require our most difficult, complex or subjective judgments or estimates. Based on this definition and as further described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, we believe our critical accounting policies include the following: (i) evaluating impairment for property, plant and equipment and definite life intangibles, (ii) valuing goodwill and potential impairment, and (iii) estimating environmental expenditures. For all financial statement periods presented, there have been no material modifications to the application of these critical accounting policies or estimates since our most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Results of Operations
A discussion and analysis of the factors contributing to our results of operations is presented below. The accompanying condensed combined financial statements and related notes of the Partnership have been retrospectively adjusted to include the historical results of the El Dorado Terminal and Tank Assets for all periods presented through February 10, 2014 and the historical results of the Tyler Terminal and Tank Assets for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The financial statements, together with the following information, are intended to provide investors with a reasonable basis for assessing our historical operations, but should not serve as the only criteria for predicting our future performance.
The following table and discussion is a summary of our consolidated results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 including a reconciliation of EBITDA to net income and net cash provided by (used in) operating activities and distributable cash flow to net income (in thousands, except unit and per unit amounts). Our financial results may not be comparable as our Predecessors recorded revenues, general and administrative expenses and financed operations differently than the Partnership. See "Factors Affecting the Comparability of Our Financial Results" in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the year ended December 31, 2013 for additional information.

Consolidated Results of Operations — Comparison of the Three Months Ended March 31, 2014 versus the Three Months Ended March 31, 2013
Contribution margin for the first quarter 2014 was $22.0 million compared to $14.0 million for the first quarter 2013, an increase of $8.0 million, or 57.7%. The increase in contribution margin was primarily attributable to increases in net sales in our pipelines and transportation segment during the first quarter 2014 compared to the first quarter 2013 as a result of the effect of the throughput and tankage agreements we entered into with Delek in connection with the El Dorado Acquisition and the Tyler Acquisition. Revenue on our pipeline assets is generated by charging fees for services including gathering, transporting and storing crude oil, intermediates and refined products. Cost of goods sold is therefore not incurred on these assets, resulting in inherently higher margins.
For the first quarters of 2014 and 2013, we generated net sales of $203.5 million and $210.9 million, respectively, a decrease of $7.4 million, or 3.5%. The decrease is primarily attributable to decreases in the average sales price per gallon of gasoline and diesel and to decreases in our sales volume in our west Texas operations due to the fact that our Abilene Terminal was not operational for a portion of the quarter due to required maintenance. The average sales price per gallon of gasoline decreased $0.21 per gallon during the first quarter 2014, to $2.64 per gallon, from $2.85 per gallon in the first quarter 2013. The average sales price per gallon of diesel decreased $0.15 per gallon during the first quarter 2014, to $3.08 per gallon, from $3.23 per gallon in the first quarter 2013. These decreases were partially offset by the effect of the new throughput and tankage agreements that went into effect in connection with the acquisitions of the El Dorado Terminal and Tank Assets and the Tyler Terminal and Tank Assets. The new throughput and tankage agreements for the El Dorado and Tyler Terminal and Tank Assets contributed $2.5 million and $4.5 million to net sales, respectively, in the first quarter 2014.
Cost of goods sold was $172.2 million for the first quarter 2014 compared to $187.9 million for the first quarter 2013, a decrease of $15.7 million, or 8.3%. The decrease in cost of goods sold is primarily attributable to decreases in sales volumes and in the average cost per barrel sold in our west Texas marketing operations. The average cost per barrel sold decreased $6.91 per barrel in the first quarter 2014, to $118.82 per barrel from $125.73 per barrel in the first quarter 2013.
Operating expenses were $9.3 million for the first quarter 2014 compared to $9.1 million for the first quarter 2013, an increase of $0.2 million, or 2.6%. The increase in operating expenses was primarily due to increases in maintenance costs and insurance allocations in the first quarter 2014 compared to the first quarter 2013.
General and administrative expenses were $2.7 million and $2.2 million for the first quarter 2014 and 2013, respectively, an increase of $0.5 million, or 20.9%. The increase in general and administrative expense was primarily due to increases in professional services fees incurred in connection with the El Dorado Acquisition. Also contributing to the increase was an increase in the fee that Delek charges the Partnership for the management and operation of our logistics assets.
Depreciation and amortization was $3.5 million for the first quarter 2014 compared to $3.5 million for the first quarter 2013.
Interest expense was $2.0 million for the first quarter 2014 compared to $0.8 million for the first quarter 2013, an increase of $1.2 million, or 142.7%. This increase is primarily attributable to increases in our deferred financing charges and increases in interest costs as a result of borrowings incurred in connection with the El Dorado Acquisition and the Tyler Acquisition.
Income tax expense was $0.1 million for the first quarter 2014, compared to $0.1 million for the first quarter 2013. Our effective tax rate was 1.1% for the first quarter 2014, compared to 1.7% for the first quarter 2013. The Partnership is not subject to federal income taxes as a limited partnership. Accordingly, our taxable income or loss is included in the federal and state income tax returns of our partners. Income tax expense as of March 31, 2014 reflects a nominal amount of state income tax.

Operating Segments
We review operating results in two reportable segments: (i) pipelines and transportation segment and (ii) wholesale marketing and terminalling. Decisions concerning the allocation of resources and assessment of operating performance are made based on this segmentation. Management measures the operating performance of each of its reportable segments based on the segment contribution margin. Segment contribution margin is defined as net sales less cost of sales and operating expenses, excluding depreciation and amortization. Segment reporting is more fully discussed in Note 9 to our accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.
Pipelines and Transportation Segment
The pipelines and transportation segment includes our Lion Pipeline System, our SALA Gathering System, our Paline Pipeline System, our East Texas Crude Logistics System, the El Dorado Storage Tanks and the Tyler Tank Assets.
The following table and discussion is an explanation of the results of operations of the pipelines and transportation segment, including the historical results of the El Dorado Storage Tanks, for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 (dollars in thousands):

Comparison of the Three Months Ended March 31, 2014 versus the Three Months Ended March 31, 2013
Contribution margin for the pipelines and transportation segment in the first quarter of 2014 was $12.1 million, or 55.2% of our consolidated segment contribution margin, compared to $6.1 million, or 43.9% of our consolidated segment contribution margin in the first quarter of 2013, an increase of $6.0 million, or 98.3%. The increase in the pipelines and transportation segment contribution margin was primarily attributable to increases in net sales as a result of the effect of the throughput and tankage agreements we entered into with Delek in connection with the acquisitions of the El Dorado Storage Tanks and the Tyler Tank Assets. Revenue on our pipeline assets is generated by charging fees for services including gathering, transporting and storing crude oil, intermediates and refined products.
Net sales for the pipelines and transportation segment were $20.3 million for the first quarter of 2014 compared to $13.5 million for the first quarter of 2013, an increase of $6.8 million, or 49.7%. The increase was primarily attributable to the effect of the new throughput and tankage agreements that went into effect in connection with the acquisitions of the El Dorado Storage Tanks and the Tyler Tank Assets. The new throughput and tankage agreements for the El Dorado Storage Tanks and the Tyler Tank Assets contributed $2.2 million and $2.5 million to net sales, respectively, in the first quarter of 2014. These increases were partially offset by decreases in sales volumes on our Lion Pipeline System and our East Texas Crude Logistics System as a result of the El Dorado Refinery turnaround and a third party's ability to ship crude oil to the Tyler Refinery from west Texas, respectively.
Operating expenses were $7.0 million for the first quarter 2014 compared to $7.4 million for the first quarter 2013, a decrease of $0.4 million, or 5.6%. The decrease in operating expense was primarily due to decreases in maintenance costs and insurance allocations in the first quarter 2014 compared to the first quarter 2013.
Wholesale Marketing and Terminalling Segment
We use our wholesale marketing and terminalling assets to generate revenue by providing wholesale marketing and terminalling services to Delek’s refining operations and to independent third parties.

Comparison of the Three Months Ended March 31, 2014 versus the Three Months Ended March 31, 2013
Contribution margin for the wholesale marketing and terminalling segment amounted to $9.9 million, or 44.8% of our consolidated contribution margin in the first quarter of 2014, versus $7.8 million, or 56.1% of our combined contribution margin, in the first quarter of 2013, an increase of $2.0 million, or 25.9%. This increase was primarily attributable to the new throughput and tankage agreements that went into effect in connection with the acquisition of the El Dorado and Tyler Terminals.
Net sales for our wholesale marketing and terminalling segment in the first quarter 2014 decreased $13.6 million or 8.3%, to $183.3 million from $197.4 million in the first quarter of 2013. The decrease is primarily attributable to decreases in sales volume in our west Texas operations and in the average sales price per gallon of gasoline and diesel. The average sales price per gallon of gasoline decreased $0.21 per gallon during the first quarter 2014, to $2.64 per gallon, from $2.85 per gallon in the first quarter of 2013. The average sales price per gallon of diesel decreased $0.15 per gallon during the first quarter 2014, to $3.08 per gallon, from $3.23 per gallon in the first quarter of 2013. These decreases were partially offset by the effect of the new throughput and tankage agreements that went into effect in connection with the acquisitions of the El Dorado and Tyler Terminals. The new throughput and tankage agreements for the El Dorado and Tyler Terminals contributed $0.3 million and $2.0 million to net sales, respectively, in the first quarter of 2014.
Cost of goods sold for our wholesale marketing and terminalling segment decreased $16.8 million or 8.9% to $171.1 million in the first quarter of 2014, as compared to cost of goods sold of $187.9 million in the first quarter of 2013. The decrease in cost of goods sold is primarily attributable to decreases in sales volumes and in the average cost per barrel sold in our west Texas marketing operations. The average cost per barrel sold decreased $6.91 per barrel in the first quarter 2014, to $118.82 per barrel from $125.73 per barrel in the first quarter of 2013.
Operating expenses were $2.3 million in the first quarter 2014, an increase of $0.6 million, or 4.0%, as compared to operating expenses of $1.7 million in the first quarter of 2013. The increase in operating expense was primarily due to increases in maintenance costs and insurance allocations in the first quarter of 2014 compared to the first quarter of 2013.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We expect our ongoing sources of liquidity to include cash generated from operations, borrowings under our revolving credit facility and issuances of additional debt and equity securities. We believe that cash generated from these sources will be sufficient to satisfy the anticipated cash requirements associated with our existing operations, including minimum quarterly cash distributions, for at least the next 12 months.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities was $13.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared to net cash used in operating activities of $2.0 million for the comparable period of 2013. The increase in cash flows provided by operations in the first three months of 2014 from the same period in 2013 was primarily due to higher revenues as a result of our commercial agreements executed concurrent with the El Dorado Acquisition and the Tyler Acquisition. Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was $13.7 million, compared to $7.3 million in the same period of 2013.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $1.0 million for the first three months of 2014, compared to $3.7 million in the comparable period of 2013. Capital expenditures made during the three months ended March 31, 2014 amounted to $1.0 million, of which $0.9 million was spent on projects in the pipelines and transportation segment and $0.1 million was spent in the wholesale marketing and terminalling segment. This compares to capital expenditures made during the three months ended March 31, 2013 of $3.7 million. Of the total expenditures made during the three months ended March 31, 2014, $0.2 million relates to the El Dorado Acquisition. Capital expenditures made during the three months ended March 31, 2013 relate primarily to the Tyler Acquisition and to our Lion Pipeline System, which accounted for approximately $2.0 million and $0.9 million, respectively, of total capital expenditures.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities was $9.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared to cash provided of $1.3 million in the comparable period of 2013. We paid quarterly cash distributions totaling $10.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2014. Additionally, we paid $95.9 million in exchange for assets included in the El Dorado Acquisition. Offsetting the cash used in financing activities were net proceeds of $95.7 million under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement during the three months ended March 31, 2014.
Cash Position and Indebtedness
As of March 31, 2014, our total cash and cash equivalents were $4.1 million and we had total indebtedness of $260.5 million. Borrowing availability under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement was approximately $126.0 million and we had letters of credit issued of $13.5 million. We believe we were in compliance with our covenants in our debt facility as of March 31, 2014.
We and each of our existing subsidiaries are borrowers under the credit facility. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement also contains an accordion feature whereby we can increase the size of the credit facility to an aggregate of $450.0 million, subject to receiving increased or new commitments from lenders and the satisfaction of certain other conditions precedent.
The credit facility is generally available to fund working capital, finance acquisitions and other capital expenditures, fund certain future distributions and for other general partnership purposes. We borrowed $90.0 million under the prior credit facility at the completion of the Offering in order to fund a cash distribution to Delek Marketing & Supply, LLC ("Delek Marketing") in partial consideration of the contribution of assets to us and in part for reimbursement of capital expenditures associated with our assets. In connection with our cash distribution to Delek Marketing at the time of the Offering, we agreed to retain at least $90.0 million in outstanding debt, either under our credit facility or as a result of certain refinancings thereof, until November 2015.
45
The obligations under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement remain secured by first priority liens on substantially all of the Partnership's and its U.S. subsidiaries' tangible and intangible assets. Additionally, Delek Marketing provides a limited guaranty of the Partnership's obligations under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. Delek Marketing's guaranty is (i) limited to an amount equal to the principal amount, plus unpaid and accrued interest, of a promissory note made by Delek in favor of Delek Marketing (the "Holdings Note") and (ii) secured by Delek Marketing's pledge of the Holdings Note to our lenders under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. As of March 31, 2014, the principal amount of the Holdings Note was $102.0 million, plus unpaid interest accrued since the issuance date.
The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement contains various covenants and restrictive provisions customary for credit facilities of this nature. Financial covenants include an interest coverage ratio defined as the ratio of consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the agreement) to cash interest expense, tested quarterly, for the four fiscal quarters then ended of not less than 2.50 to 1.00 (previously 2.00 to 1.00) and a leverage ratio defined as total funded debt to consolidated EBITDA, tested quarterly, for the four fiscal quarters then ended of not greater than 4.00 to 1.00 (previously 3.50 to 1.00).
Borrowings denominated in U.S. dollars under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement bear interest at either a U.S. dollar prime rate, plus an applicable margin, or a LIBOR rate, plus an applicable margin, at the election of the borrowers. Borrowings denominated in Canadian dollars under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement bear interest at either a Canadian dollar prime rate, plus an applicable margin, or a CDOR (Canadian Dealer Offered Rate), plus an applicable margin, at the election of the borrowers. The applicable margin in each case varies based upon the Partnership's most recently reported leverage ratio. Additionally, the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement requires us to pay a leverage ratio dependent quarterly fee on the average unused revolving commitment.
The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement contains events of default customary for credit facilities of this nature. They include, but are not limited to, the failure to pay any principal, interest or fees when due, failure to satisfy any covenant, untrue representations or warranties, impairment of liens, events of default under any other loan document under the credit facility, default under any other material debt agreements, insolvency, certain bankruptcy proceedings, change of control (which will occur if, among other things, (i) Delek ceases to own and control legally and beneficially at least 51% of the equity interests of our general partner, (ii) Delek Logistics GP, LLC ceases to be our sole general partner or (iii) the Partnership fails to own and control legally and beneficially at least 100% of the equity interests of any other borrower under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, unless otherwise permitted thereunder) and material litigation resulting in a final judgment against any borrower or guarantor that remains undischarged or unstayed. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an event of default under the credit agreement, the lenders may, among other things, accelerate and declare the outstanding loans to be immediately due and payable and exercise remedies against the Partnership, its subsidiaries and the collateral as may be available to the lenders under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and other loan documents.
Agreements Governing Certain Indebtedness of Delek
Although we are not contractually bound by and are not liable for Delek’s debt under its credit arrangements, we are indirectly affected by certain prohibitions and limitations contained therein. Specifically, under the terms of certain of Delek's credit arrangements, we expect that Delek will be in default if we incur any indebtedness for borrowed money in excess of $300.0 million at any time outstanding, which amount is subject to increase for (i) certain acquisitions of additional or newly constructed assets and for growth capital expenditures, in each case, net of asset sales, and for (ii) certain types of debt, such as debt obligations owed under hedge agreements, intercompany debt of the partnership and our subsidiaries and debt under certain types of contingent obligations. These arrangements also require that Delek maintain (i) consolidated shareholders’ equity of at least $700.0 million and (ii) a ratio of consolidated shareholders’ equity to adjusted total assets, which is defined as total assets less cash and certain liabilities, of at least 0.35 to 1.00. Although these covenants do not currently limit our ability to use the full capacity available under our revolving credit facility, we cannot assure you that such covenants will not impact such ability in the future. Delek, due to its majority ownership and control of our general partner, has the ability to prevent us from taking actions that would cause Delek to violate any covenant in its credit arrangements or otherwise be in default under any of its credit arrangements.
Capital Spending
A key component of our long-term strategy is our capital expenditure program. Our capital expenditures for the three months ended March 31, 2014 were $0.8 million, of which approximately $0.7 million was spent in our pipelines and transportation segment and $0.1 million was spent in our wholesale marketing and terminalling segment. Our capital expenditure budget is approximately $18.5 million for 2014.

Delek has agreed to reimburse us with respect to assets it has transferred to us for all non-discretionary maintenance capital expenditures, other than those required to comply with applicable environmental laws and regulations, in excess of specified dollar amounts for a period of five years. |
(2) | Delek has agreed to reimburse us for capital expenditures in connection with certain capital improvements that were in progress as of November 7, 2012. |
(3) | The actual and forecasted capital spending does not include capital expenditures prior to February 10, 2014 of $0.2 million related to the assets acquired in the El Dorado Acquisition. |
For the full year 2014, we plan to spend approximately $10.3 million in the pipeline and transportation segment. The majority of these capital expenditures will be spent on maintenance and discretionary projects, with $4.5 million and $4.4 million budgeted on these projects, respectively, for the pipeline and transportation segment. Of the $8.2 million in capital expenditures budgeted for the wholesale marketing and terminalling segment, $4.6 million is allocated to discretionary projects and $3.6 million is allocated to maintenance projects. The majority of the amount budgeted to this segment is related to the expansion of the North Little Rock Terminal.
On February 10, 2014, in connection with the El Dorado Acquisition, the Partnership entered into the Second Omnibus Amendment. The Second Omnibus Amendment includes the following, among other things: (i) certain modifications in the reimbursement by Delek and certain of its subsidiaries under the Omnibus Agreement for certain operating expenses and capital expenditures incurred by the Partnership or its subsidiaries, (ii) certain modifications of the indemnification provisions under the Omnibus Agreement in favor of the Partnership with respect to certain environmental matters, and (iii) the increase of the annual administrative fee payable by us to Delek under the Omnibus Agreement for corporate general and administrative services.
Under the Second Omnibus Amendment, Delek has agreed to reimburse us for (i) certain expenses that we incur for inspections, maintenance and repairs to any storage tanks we acquired in the El Dorado Acquisition to cause such storage tanks to comply with applicable regulatory and/or industry standards, (ii) certain expenses that we incur for inspections, maintenance and repairs to any of the storage tanks contributed to us by Delek (subject to a deductible of $0.5 million per year) that are necessary to comply with the Department of Transportation pipeline integrity rules and certain American Petroleum Institute storage tank standards for a period of five years and (iii) for all non-discretionary maintenance capital expenditures with respect to certain of our assets in excess of certain amounts, as disclosed in the full agreement filed with our Form 8-K dated February 14, 2014.
The amount of our capital expenditure budget is subject to change due to unanticipated increases in the cost, scope and completion time for our capital projects. For example, we may experience increases in the cost of and/or timing to obtain necessary
47
equipment required for our continued compliance with government regulations or to complete improvement projects. Additionally, the scope and cost of employee or contractor labor expense related to installation of that equipment could increase from our projections. We rely primarily upon external financing sources, including borrowings under our revolving credit facility and the issuance of debt and equity securities, to fund significant capital expenditures.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements through the date of the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Commodity Price Risk. Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices. As we do not do not take title to any of the crude oil that we handle, and we take title to only limited volumes of light products in our marketing business, we have minimal direct exposure to risks associated with fluctuating commodity prices. However, from time to time, we enter into Gulf Coast product swap arrangements with respect to the products we purchase to hedge our exposure to fluctuations in commodity prices for the period between our purchase of products from and subsequent sales to our customers. At March 31, 2014, we held no outstanding swap contracts. Please read Note 11 to our accompanying consolidated financial statements for additional detail related to our derivative instruments. In addition, the Partnership's commercial agreements with Delek are indexed to inflation.
Interest Rate Risk. Debt that we incur under our revolving credit facility bears interest at a variable rate and will expose us to interest rate risk. From time to time, we may use certain derivative instruments to hedge our exposure to variable interest rates. Additionally, our prior revolving credit facility required us to maintain interest rate hedging arrangements with respect to at least 50% of the amount funded on November 7, 2012 under the credit facility, which was required to be in place for at least a three-year period beginning no later than March 7, 2013. Effective February 25, 2013, and as of March 31, 2014, we had in place an interest rate hedge in the form of a LIBOR interest rate cap with a term of three years for a total notional amount of $45.0 million, thereby meeting the requirements at that time.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management has evaluated, with the participation of our principal executive and principal financial officers, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) or Rule 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of the end of the period covered by this report, and has, based on this evaluation, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms including, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
(b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
