NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS





1. Organization and Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
Organization
We are a growth-oriented master limited partnership formed in Delaware in 1996 and focused on the midstream segment of the crude oil and natural gas industry in the Gulf Coast region of the United States Wyoming and the Gulf of Mexico. We provide an integrated suite of services to refiners, crude oil and natural gas producers, and industrial and commercial enterprises and have a diverse portfolio of assets, including pipelines, offshore hub and junction platforms, our soda ash businesses,business (our "Alkali Business"), refinery-related plants, storage tanks and terminals, railcars, rail loading and unloading facilities, barges and other vessels, and trucks. We are owned 100% by our limited partners. Genesis Energy, LLC, our general partner, is a wholly-owned subsidiary. Our general partner has sole responsibility for conducting our business and managing our operations. We conduct our operations and own our operating assets through our subsidiaries and joint ventures.
On September 1, 2017, we acquired Tronox Limited’s (“Tronox’s”) trona and trona-based exploring, mining, processing, producing, marketing and selling business (the "Alkali Business") for approximately $1.325 billion in cash. We funded that acquisition and the related transaction costs with proceeds from a $750 million private placement of convertible preferred units, a $550 million public offering of notes, our revolving credit facility, and cash on hand. At the closing, we entered into transition service agreements to facilitate the transition of operations and uninterrupted services for both employees and customers. We will report the results of our Alkali Business in our renamed sodium minerals and sulfur services segment, which will include our Alkali Business as well as our existing refinery services operations.
In the fourth quarter of 2016, we reorganized our operating segments as a result of the way our Chief Executive Officer, who is our chief operating decision maker, evaluates the performance of operations, develops strategy and allocates resources. Due to the increasingly integrated nature of our onshore operations, the results of our onshore pipeline transportation segment, formerly reported under its own segment, is now reported in our onshore facilities and transportation segment. The onshore facilities and transportation segment was formerly named as our supply and logistics segment. This segment was renamed in the second quarter of 2017 to more accurately describe the nature of its operations. These changes are consistent with the increasingly integrated nature of our onshore operations. We will report the results of the Alkali Business in our renamed sodium minerals and sulfur services segment, which will include the Alkali Business as well as our existing refinery services operations.
As a result of the above changes, we currently manage our businesses through fourthe following 4 divisions that constitute our reportable segments - offshore pipeline transportation, sodium minerals and sulfur services, onshore facilities and transportation and marine transportation. Our disclosures related to prior periods have been recast to reflect our reorganized segments.
These four divisions that constitute our reportable segments consist of the following:segments:
Offshore pipeline transportation and processing of crude oil and natural gas in the Gulf of Mexico;
Sodium minerals and sulfur services involving trona and trona-based exploring, mining, processing, producing, marketing and selling activities, as well as processing of high sulfur (or “sour”"sour") gas streams for refineries to remove the sulfur, and selling the related by-product, sodium hydrosulfide (or “NaHS”"NaHS", commonly pronounced "nash");
Onshore facilities and transportation, which include terminalling, blending, storing, marketing, and transporting crude oil, petroleum products, and CO2;2; and
Marine transportation to provide waterborne transportation of petroleum products and crude oil throughout North America; andAmerica.
Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
The accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include Genesis Energy, L.P. and its subsidiaries, including our general partner, Genesis Energy, LLC.
Our results of operations for the interim periods shown in this report are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the fiscal year. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included herein have been prepared by us without audit pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”(the "SEC"). Accordingly, they reflect all adjustments (which consist solely of normal recurring adjustments) that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial results for interim periods. Certain information and notes normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”("GAAP") have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. However, we believe that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading when read in conjunction with the information contained in the periodic reports we file

with the SEC pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.2019 (our "Annual Report").
Except per unit amounts, or as noted within the context of each footnote disclosure, the dollar amounts presented in the tabular data within these footnote disclosures are stated in thousands of dollars.
COVID-19 Update
In March 2020, the World Health Organization categorized COVID-19 as a pandemic, and the President of the United States declared the COVID-19 outbreak a national emergency. Our operations, which fall within the energy, mining and transportation sectors, are considered critical and essential by the Department of Homeland Security's Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency ("CISA") and we have continued to operate our assets during this pandemic.
We considered the impact of COVID-19 on the assumptions and estimates reflected in our financial statements. We noted, other than the impact of general macroeconomic conditions, there were no material adverse effects from the pandemic on our results for the three months ended March 31, 2020. See further discussion on COVID-19 in Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

2. Recent Accounting Developments
Recently IssuedAdopted
In May 2014, the FASB issued revised guidance on revenue from contracts with customers that will supersede most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The core principle of the revenue model is that an entity will recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The new standard provides a five-step analysis for transactions to determine when and how revenue is recognized. The guidance permits the use of either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective transition method. In July 2015, the FASB approved a one year deferral of the effective date of this standard to December 15, 2017 for annual reporting periods beginning after that date. The FASB also approved early adoption of the standard, but not before the original effective date of December 15, 2016. Our process of evaluating the impact of this guidance on each type of revenue contract entered into with customers is ongoing, but nearing completion. This process includes regular involvement from our implementation team in determining any significant impact on accounting treatment, processes, internal controls, and disclosures. While we do not believe there will be a material impact to our revenues upon adoption based on our preliminary assessment, we continue to evaluate the impacts of our pending adoption of this guidance until finalized conclusions are determined, particularly involving contracts within our sodium minerals and sulfur services segment including those within our recently acquired Alkali Business. Though we have not finalized our conclusions, we currently plan to apply the modified retrospective transition approach.
In July 2015, the FASB issued guidance modifying the accounting for inventory. Under this guidance, the measurement principle for inventory will change from lower of cost or market value to lower of cost or net realizable value. The guidance defines net realizable value as the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. The guidance is effective for reporting periods after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. We have adopted this guidance under ASC Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses ("ASC 326"), as of January 1, 2017 with no material2020 . The standard changed the impairment model for most financial assets and certain other instruments. For trade and other receivables, held-to-maturity debt securities, loans, and other instruments, entities are required to use a new forward-looking “expected loss” model that generally will result in the earlier recognition of allowances for losses. We performed an assessment at our adoption date, January 1, 2020, which consisted of reviewing current and historical information pertaining to our trade accounts receivable and existing contract assets. Our assessment resulted in an immaterial impact onto our consolidated financial statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued guidance to improve the transparency and comparability among companies by requiring lessees to recognize a lease liability and a corresponding lease asset for virtually all lease contracts. The guidance also requires additional disclosure about leasing arrangements. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and requires a modified retrospective approach to adoption. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating this guidance.
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Classificationstatements as of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. ASU 2016-15 addresses how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows under Topic 230, Statement of Cash flow, and other Topics. ASU 2016-15 is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim periods therein, beginning after December 15, 2017. We do not expect the adoption date and for the three months ended March 31, 2020.
During the first quarter of this guidance2020, the SEC amended the financial disclosure requirements for guarantors and issuers of guaranteed securities registered or being registered in Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X to have a material impact on ourgo in effect January 4, 2021. The amendment simplifies the disclosure requirements and permits the amended disclosures to be provided outside the footnotes in audited annual or unaudited interim consolidated financial statements.statements in all filings. As permitted by the amendment, we have early adopted the amendment and included the required summarized financial information in Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Transaction Price Allocations to Remaining Performance Obligations
We are required to disclose the amount of our transaction prices that are allocated to unsatisfied performance obligations as of March 31, 2020. We are exempted from disclosing performance obligations with a duration of one year or less, revenue recognized related to performance obligations where the consideration corresponds directly with the value provided to customers, and contracts with variable consideration that is allocated wholly to an unsatisfied performance obligation or promise to transfer a good or service that is part of a series in accordance with ASC 606.

The majority of our contracts qualify for one of these expedients or exemptions. For the remaining contract types that involve revenue recognition over a long-term period with long-term fixed consideration (adjusted for indexing as required), we acquireddetermined our allocations of transaction price that relate to unsatisfied performance obligations. For our tiered pricing offshore transportation contracts, we provide firm capacity for both fixed and variable consideration over a long term period. Therefore, we have allocated the Alkali Businessremaining contract value to future periods.
The following chart depicts how we expect to recognize revenues for approximately $1.325 billion (inclusive of approximately $100 million in working capital).

As of September 30, 2017March 31, 2020, we were in compliance with the financial covenants contained in our credit agreement and senior unsecured notes indentures.
Senior Secured Credit Facility
In July 2017, we amended our credit agreement to, among other things, make certain technical amendments related to the financing of our acquisition of the Alkali Business.
The key terms for rates under our $1.7 billion senior secured credit facility, which are dependent on our leverage ratio (as defined in the credit agreement), are as follows:
The interest rate on borrowings may be based on an alternate base rate or a Eurodollar rate, at our option. The alternate base rate is equal to the sum of (a) the greatest of (i) the prime rate as established by the administrative agent for the credit facility, (ii) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.5% of 1% and (iii) the LIBOR rate for a one-month maturity plus 1% and (b) the applicable margin. The Eurodollar rate is equal to the sum of (a) the LIBOR rate for the applicable interest period multiplied by the statutory reserve rate and (b) the applicable margin. The applicable margin varies from 1.50% to 3.00% on Eurodollar borrowings and from 0.50% to 2.00% on alternate base rate borrowings, depending on our leverage ratio. Our leverage ratio is recalculated quarterly and in connection with each material acquisition. At March 31, 2020, the applicable margins on our borrowings were 1.75% for alternate base rate borrowings and 2.75% for Eurodollar rate borrowings.
Letter of credit feesfee rates range from 1.50% to 3.00% based on our leverage ratio as computed under the credit facility. The rate can fluctuate quarterly. At March 31, 2020, our letter of credit rate was 2.75%.
We pay a commitment fee on the unused portion of the $1.7 billion maximum facility amount. The commitment fee rates on the unused committed amount will range from 0.25% to 0.50% per annum depending on our leverage ratio. At March 31, 2020, our commitment fee rate on the unused committed amount was 0.50%.
The accordion feature is $300.0 million, giving us the ability to expand the size of the facility to up to $2.0 billion for acquisitions or growth projects, subject to lender consent.

On March 25, 2020, we amended our credit agreement. This amendment, among other things, (i) sets the maximum Consolidated Senior Secured Leverage Ratio (as defined in the credit agreement) at 3.25 to 1.00 throughout the remaining term of the facility, and (ii) allows us to purchase certain of our outstanding senior unsecured notes, subject to certain customary conditions.

Our Class A Convertible Preferred Units are considered redeemable securities under GAAP due to the holdersexistence of redemption provisions upon a deemed liquidation event that is outside our preferred unitscontrol. Therefore, we present them as temporary equity in the applicable distributionmezzanine section of the Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheet. Because our Class A Convertible Preferred Units are not currently redeemable and we do not have plans or expect any events that constitute a change of control in our partnership agreement, we present our Class A Convertible Preferred Units at their initial carrying amount. However, we would be required to adjust that carrying amount in cash, preferred units, or any combination thereof. If we elect to pay all or any portion of a quarterly distribution amount in preferred units, the number of such preferred units will equal the product of (i) the number of then outstanding preferred units and (ii) the quarterly rate. We have elected to pay the distribution amount attributable to the quarter ended on September 30, 2017 in preferred units. For each quarter ending after March 1, 2019, we must pay all distribution amounts in respect of our preferred units in cash.
From time to time after September 1, 2020, we will have the right to cause the conversion of all or a portion of outstanding preferred units into our common units, subject to certain conditions; provided, however,if it becomes probable that we would be required to redeem our Class A Convertible Preferred Units.

To become effective, the Rate Reset Election requires approval of holders of at least a majority of our then outstanding preferred units and such majority must include each of our initial purchasers (or any affiliate to whom they have transferred their preferred units) if such initial purchaser (including its affiliates) holds at least 25% of the then outstanding preferred units.
Upon the occurrence of a Rate Reset Election, we may redeem our preferred units for cash, in whole or in part (subject to certain minimum value limitations) for an amount per preferred unit equal to such preferred unit’s liquidation value (equal to the Issue Price plus any accrued and accumulated but unpaid distributions, plus a prorated portion of certain unpaid partial distributions in respect of the immediately preceding quarter and the current quarter) multiplied by (i) 110%, prior to September 1, 2024, and (ii) 105% thereafter. Each holder of our preferred units may elect to convert all or any portion of its preferred units into common units initially on a one-for-one basis (subject to customary adjustments and an adjustment for accrued and accumulated but unpaid distributions and limitations) at any time after September 1, 2019 (or earlier upon a change of control, liquidation, dissolution or winding up), provided that any conversion is for at least $50 million or such lesser amount if such conversion relates to all of a holder’s remaining preferred units or has otherwise been approved by us.
If we fail to pay in full any preferred unit distribution amount after March 1, 2019 in respect of any two quarters, whether or not consecutive, then until we pay such distributions in full, we will not be permitted to (a) declare or make any distributions (subject to a limited exceptions for pro rata distributions on our preferred units and parity securities), redemptions or repurchases of any of our limited partner interests that rank junior to or pari passu with our preferred units with respect to rights upon distribution and/or liquidation (including our common units), or (b) issue any such junior or parity securities. If we fail to pay in full any preferred unit distribution after March 1, 2019 in respect of any two quarters, whether or not consecutive, then the preferred unit distribution amount will be resetpaid to unitholders of record as of May 1, 2020.

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests
On September 23, 2019, we, through a cash amount per preferred unit equal to the amount that would be payable per quarter ifsubsidiary, Alkali Holdings, entered into an amended and restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of Alkali Holdings (the "LLC Agreement") and a preferred unit accrued interest on the Issue Price at an annualized rate equal to the then-current annualized distribution rate plus 200 basis points until such default is cured.
In addition to their right to veto a Rate Reset Election underSecurities Purchase Agreement (the "Securities Purchase Agreement") whereby certain circumstances, we have granted each initial purchaser (including its applicable affiliate transferees) certain rights, including (i) the right to appoint an observer, who shall have the right to attend our board meetings for so long as an initial purchaser (including its affiliates) owns at least $200 million of our preferred units; (ii) the rightinvestment fund entities affiliated with GSO Capital Partners LP (collectively "GSO") purchased $55,000,000 and committed to purchase up to 50%approximately $350,000,000 of any parity securities on substantiallypreferred units in Alkali Holdings, the same terms offeredentity that holds our trona and trona-based exploring, mining, processing, producing, marketing and selling business, including its Granger facility near Green River, Wyoming. Alkali Holdings will use the net proceeds from the Alkali Holdings preferred units to other purchasersfund up to 100% of the anticipated cost of expansion of the Granger facility. As of March 31, 2020, we have received cash of $122.9 million for so long as an initial purchaser (including its affiliates) owns at least 11,124,747the $130 million of Alkali Holdings preferred units issued to date net of issuance costs, which was inclusive of our transaction related expenses and one-time commitment fee.
On April 14, 2020, we entered into an amendment to our agreements with GSO to, among other things, extend the construction timeline of the Granger expansion project by one year.
Accounting for Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests
Classification
The Alkali Holdings preferred units issued and (iii)outstanding are accounted for as a redeemable noncontrolling interest in the right to appoint two directors to our general partner’s board of directors if (and so long as) we fail to pay in full any three quarterly distribution amounts, whether or not consecutive, attributable to any quarter ending after March 1, 2019.
The Rate Reset Election of these preferred units represents an embedded derivative that must be bifurcated from the related host contract and recorded at fair valuemezzanine section on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. See further information in Note 14. TheSheet due to the redemption features for a change of control.
Initial and Subsequent Measurement
We recorded the Alkali Holdings preferred units themselvesat their issuance date fair value, net of issuance costs. The fair value as of March 31, 2020 represents the carrying amount based on the issued and outstanding Alkali Holdings preferred units most probable redemption event on the six year anniversary of the closing, which is the predetermined internal rate of return measure accreted using the effective interest method to the redemption value as of the reporting date. Net Income Attributable to Genesis Energy, L.P. for the three months ended March 31, 2020 includes $4.1 million of adjustments, of which $3.3 million was allocated to the PIK distributions on the outstanding Alkali Holdings preferred units and $0.8 million was attributable to redemption accretion value adjustments. We elected to pay distributions for the period ended March 31, 2020 in-kind to our Alkali Holdings preferred unitholders. These PIK distributions increase the unitholders liquidation preference on each Alkali Holdings preferred unit.
As of the reporting date, there are classified as mezzanineno triggering, change of control, early redemption or monetization events that are probable that would require us to revalue the Alkali Holdings preferred units.
If the Alkali Holdings preferred units were redeemed on the reporting date of March 31, 2020, the redemption amount would be equal to $192.5 million, which would be the multiple of invested capital metric applied to the Alkali Holdings preferred units outstanding plus the make-whole amount on the undrawn minimum Alkali Holdings preferred units.

11.12. Business Segment Information
In the fourth quarter of 2016, we reorganized our operating segments as a result of the way our Chief Executive Officer, who is our chief operating decision maker, evaluates the performance of operations, develops strategy and allocates resources. The results of our onshore pipeline transportation segment, formerly reported under its own segment, are now reported in our onshore facilities and transportation segment. The onshore facilities and transportation segment was formerly named our supply and logistics segment. This segment was renamed in the second quarter of 2017 to more accurately describe the nature of its operations. This change is consistent with the increasingly integrated nature of our onshore operations.
On September 1, 2017, we acquired Tronox’s Alkali Business for approximately $1.325 billion in cash. We funded that acquisition and the related transaction costs with proceeds from a $750 million private placement of convertible preferred units, a $550 million public offering of notes, our revolving credit facility, and cash on hand. At the closing, we entered into transition service agreements to facilitate the transition of operations and uninterrupted services for both employees and customers. We will report the results of our Alkali Business in our renamed sodium minerals and sulfur services segment, which will include our Alkali Business as well as our existing refinery services operations.
As a result of the above changes, we currently manage our businesses through four divisions that constitute our reportable segments - offshore pipeline transportation, sodium minerals and sulfur services, onshore facilities and transportation and marine transportation. Our disclosures related to prior periods have been recast to reflect our reorganized segments.
We currently manage our businesses through four4 divisions that constitute our reportable segments:
Offshore pipeline transportation – offshore pipeline transportation and processing of crude oil and natural gas in the Gulf of Mexico;
Sodium minerals and sulfur services – trona and trona-based exploring, mining, processing, producing, marketing and selling activities, as well as processing high sulfur (or “sour”) gas streams as part of refining operationsfor refineries to remove the sulfur, and selling the related by-product, NaHS;
Onshore facilities and transportation – terminalling, blending, storing, marketing and transporting crude oil, petroleum products (primarily fuel oil, asphalt, and other heavy refined products) and CO2.;and
Marine transportation – marine transportation to provide waterborne transportation of petroleum products and crude oil throughout North America; andAmerica.
Substantially all of our revenues are derived from, and substantially all of our assets are located in, the United States.
We define Segment Margin as revenues less product costs, operating expenses (excluding non-cash gains and charges, such as depreciation, depletion and amortization), and segment general and administrative expenses, plus our equity in distributable cash generated by our equity investees. In addition, our Segment Margin definition excludes the non-cash effects of our legacy stock appreciation rightslong-term incentive compensation plan and includes the non-income portion of payments received under direct financing leases.
Our chief operating decision maker (our Chief Executive Officer) evaluates segment performance based on a variety of measures including Segment Margin, segment volumes, where relevant, and capital investment.

Transactions
Our CEO, Mr. Sims, owns an aircraft which is used by us for business purposes in the course of operations. We pay Mr. Sims a fixed monthly fee and reimburse the aircraft management company for costs related to our usage of the aircraft, including fuel and the actual out-of-pocket costs. Based on current market rates for chartering of private aircraft under long-term, priority arrangements with Unconsolidated Affiliatesindustry recognized chartering companies, we believe that the terms of this arrangement are no worse than what we could have expected to obtain in an arms-length transaction.

Poseidon
At March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 Poseidon owed us $1.7 million and $2.4 million, respectively, for services rendered.
We are the operator of Poseidon and provide management, administrative and pipeline operator services to Poseidon under an Operation and Management Agreement .Agreement. Currently, that agreement renews automatically annually unless terminated by either party (as defined in the agreement). Our revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019 reflect the $2.1$2.3 million and $6.3$2.2 million, respectively of fees we earned through the provision of services under that agreement.

ANSAC
We (through a subsidiary of our Alkali Business) are a member of the American Natural Soda Ash Corp. (ANSAC)("ANSAC"), an organization whose purpose is promoting and increasing the use and sale of natural soda ash and other refined or processed sodium products produced in the U.S. and consumed in specified countries outside of the U.S. Members sell products to ANSAC to satisfy ANSAC’s sales commitments to its customers. ANSAC passes its costs through to its members.members using a pro rata calculation based on sales. Those costs include sales and marketing, employees, office supplies, professional fees, travel, rent, and certain other costs. Those transactions do not necessarily represent arm's length transactions and may not represent all costs we would otherwise incur if we operated theour Alkali Business on a stand-alone basis. We also benefit from favorable shipping rates for our direct exports when using ANSAC to arrange for ocean transport.
ANSAC is considered a variable interest entity (VIE) because we experience certain risks and rewards from our relationship with it. As we do not exercise control over ANSAC and are not considered its primary beneficiary, we do not consolidate ANSAC. The ANSAC membership agreement provides that in the event an ANSAC member exits or the ANSAC cooperative is dissolved, the exiting members are obligated for their respective portion of the residual net assets or deficit of the cooperative.

14.15. Derivatives
Commodity Derivatives
We have exposure to commodity price changes related to our inventory and purchase commitments. We utilize derivative instruments (primarily futures and options contracts traded on the NYMEX) to hedge our exposure to commodity prices, primarily of crude oil, fuel oil and petroleum products. Our decision as to whether to designate derivative instruments as fair value hedges for accounting purposes relates to our expectations of the length of time we expect to have the commodity price exposure and our expectations as to whether the derivative contract will qualify as highly effective under accounting guidance in limiting our exposure to commodity price risk. Most of the petroleum products, including fuel oil that we supply, cannot be hedged with a high degree of effectiveness with derivative contracts available on the NYMEX; therefore, we do not designate derivative contracts utilized to limit our price risk related to these products as hedges for accounting purposes. Typically we utilize crude oil and other petroleum products futures and option contracts to limit our exposure to the effect of fluctuations in petroleum products prices on the future sale of our inventory or commitments to purchase petroleum products, and we recognize any changes in fair value of the derivative contracts as increases or decreases in our cost of sales. The recognition of changes in fair value of the derivative contracts not designated as hedges for accounting purposes can occur in reporting periods that do not coincide with the recognition of gain or loss on the actual transaction being hedged. Therefore we will, on occasion, report gains or losses in one period that will be partially offset by gains or losses in a future period when the hedged transaction is completed.
We have designated certain crude oil futures contracts as hedges of crude oil inventory due to our expectation that these contracts will be highly effective in hedging our exposure to fluctuations in crude oil prices during the period that we expect to hold that inventory. We account for these derivative instruments as fair value hedges under the accounting guidance. Changes in the fair value of these derivative instruments designated as fair value hedges are used to offset related changes in the fair value of the hedged crude oil inventory. Any hedge ineffectiveness in these fair value hedges and any amounts excluded from effectiveness testing are recorded as a gain or loss in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
In accordance with NYMEX requirements, we fund the margin associated with our loss positions on commodity derivative contracts traded on the NYMEX. The amount of the margin is adjusted daily based on the fair value of the commodity contracts. The margin requirements are intended to mitigate a party's exposure to market volatility and the associated contracting party risk. We offset fair value amounts recorded for our NYMEX derivative contracts against margin funding as required by the NYMEX in Current Assets - Other in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
At September 30, 2017, we had the following outstanding derivative commodity contracts that were entered into to economically hedge inventory or fixed price purchase commitments.

Additionally, we enter into swap arrangements. Our Alkali Business relies on natural gas to generate heat and electricity for operations. We use a combination of commodity price swap contracts and future purchase contracts to manage our exposure to fluctuations in natural gas prices. The swap contracts fix the basis differential between NYMEX Henry Hub and NW Rocky Mountain posted prices. We do not designate these contracts as hedges for accounting purposes. We recognize any changes in fair value of the derivative contracts as increases or decreases in our cost of sales.

Financial Statement Impacts
Unrealized gains are subtracted from net income and unrealized losses are added to net income in determining cash flows from operating activities. To the extent that we have fair value hedges outstanding, the offsetting change recorded in the fair value of inventory is also eliminated from net income in determining cash flows from operating activities. Changes in margin deposits necessary to fund unrealized losses also affect cash flows from operating activities.

Preferred Distribution Rate Reset Election
A derivative feature embedded in a contract that does not meet the definition of a derivative in its entirety must be bifurcated and accounted for separately if the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative are not clearly and closely related to those of the host contract. For a period of 30 days following (i) September 1, 2022 and (ii) each subsequent anniversary thereof, the holders of our preferred unitsClass A Convertible Preferred Units may make a Rateone-time election to reset the quarterly distribution amount (a "Rate Reset ElectionElection") to a cash amount per preferred unitClass A Convertible Preferred Unit equal to the amount that would be payable per quarter if a preferred unitClass A Convertible Preferred Unit accrued interest on the Issue Price at an annualized rate equal to three-month LIBOR plus 750 basis points; provided, however, that such reset rate shall be equal to 10.75% if (i) such alternative rate is higher than the LIBOR-based rate and (ii) the then market price for our common units is then less than 10%110% of the Issue Price. The Rate Reset Election of the preferred unitsour Class A Convertible Preferred Units represents an embedded derivative that must be bifurcated from the related host contract and recorded at fair value on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Corresponding changes in fair value are recognized in Other ExpenseIncome (Expense) in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.

15.16. Fair-Value Measurements
We classify financial assets and liabilities into the following three levels based on the inputs used to measure fair value:
(1)Level 1 fair values are based on observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities;
(2)Level 2 fair values are based on pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities and are either directly or indirectly observable as of the measurement date; and

27

Table of Contents
GENESIS ENERGY, L.P.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(3)Level 3 fair values are based on unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists.
As required by fair value accounting guidance, financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value requires judgment and may affect the placement of assets and liabilities within the fair value hierarchy levels.

Our commodity derivatives include exchange-traded futures and exchange-traded options contracts. The fair value of these exchange-traded derivative contracts is based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets and is, therefore, included in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the swaps contracts was determined using market price quotations and a pricing model. The swap contracts were considered a level 2 input in the fair value hierarchy at March 31, 2020.
The fair value of the embedded derivative feature is based on a valuation model that estimates the fair value of the convertible preferred unitsour Class A Convertible Preferred Units with and without a Rate Reset Election. This model contains inputs, including our common unit price a ten year history ofrelative to the issuance price, the current dividend yield, credit spread, default probabilities, equity volatility and timing estimates which involve management judgment. Our equity volatility rate used to value our embedded derivative feature was 50% at March 31, 2020. A significant increase or decrease in the value of these inputs could result in a material change in fair value to this embedded derivative feature. We reportDuring the 2020 Quarter, we recorded an unrealized gains and losses associated with this embedded derivativegain of $32.5 million in ourOther income (expense) on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations as Other income (expense), net.due to the significant changes in the energy industry credit markets and our common unit price during the period.
See Note 1415 for additional information on our derivative instruments.
Other Fair Value Measurements
We believe the debt outstanding under our credit facility approximates fair value as the stated rate of interest approximates current market rates of interest for similar instruments with comparable maturities. At September 30, 2017March 31, 2020 our senior unsecured notes had a carrying value of $2.5 billion and fair value of $2.4$1.8 billion compared to $1.8a carrying value and fair value of $2.5 billion and $1.9 billion, respectively, at December 31, 2016.2019. The fair value of the senior unsecured notes is determined based on trade information in the financial markets of our public debt and is considered a Level 2 fair value measurement.

Our Alkali Business is the largest producer in the world of natural soda ash. We funded that acquisition and the related transaction costs with proceeds from a $750 million private placement of convertible preferred units, a $550 million public offering of notes, our revolving credit facility, and cash on hand. At the closing, we entered into a transition service agreement to facilitate the transition of operations and uninterrupted services for both employees and customers.


We recently made the strategic decision to re-set our quarterly distribution and provided a plan for visible, achievable long term distribution growth and a clear path forward to deleveraging. These steps, along with the future stable and repeatable cash flows from our recently completed acquisition of the Alkali Business as well as the anticipated ramp from our recent strategic investments, we believe further enhance our financial flexibility to opportunistically pursue accretive organic projects and acquisitions should they present themselves. In this context, however, we would reiterate, we currently have no plans to access the equity capital markets in the immediate future, including under our “at the market” equity program, which in fact has never been used. Overall, we believe these actions to strengthen our balance sheet and enhance our financial flexibility are the best actions we can take to allow us to generate strong total returns for our unitholders in the years ahead.

Our quarterly results were negatively impacted by a number of events, such as Hurricane Harvey (a 1,000-year hurricane), the planned regulatory dry-docking of our M/T American Phoenix as required every five years, some extended turnarounds at several offshore hubs, and turnarounds at several facilities in Alberta. Notwithstanding these negatives, our legacy businesses are performing as expected, and we are seeing increased contributions from our recently completed organic projects in the Baton Rouge corridor, in and around Texas City and in Wyoming. Additionally, the quarter reflects only one month of contribution from our recently acquired soda ash operations, which performance is exceeding our expectations.

Earlier this year, we announced and discussed our intent to market certain non-strategic assets with targeted proceeds of $50-$75 million. While not yet fully recognized in our reported results, we have to date consummated sales for total cash proceeds of approximately $76 million, representing in the aggregate a GAAP gain of approximately $40 million and at an implied multiple to us of in excess of 30 times, none of which directly flows through our non-GAAP measures of EBITDA or Available Cash. We continue to evaluate other non-strategic assets in our portfolio, although there can be no assurances of additional transactions.

These increases were offset by: (i) the transaction costs and financing expenses, as well as an increase in interest expense, primarily driven by our acquisitionwrite-off of the Alkali Businessunamortized issuance costs and discount associated with the extinguishment of our 2022 Notes of $23.5 million during the quarter.

With respect to our Class A Convertible Preferred Units, we have declared a payment-in-kind ("PIK") of the quarterly distribution, which will result in the issuance of an additional 162,234 Class A Convertible Preferred Units. This PIK amount, as pro-rated based on the period these units were outstanding, equates to acash distribution of $0.2458$0.7374 per Class A Convertible Preferred Unit (or $2.9496 on an annualized basis) for the 2017 Quarter, or $2.9496 annualized.each Class A Convertible Preferred Unit held of record.

Segment Reporting Change
COVID-19 and Market Update
In March 2020, the World Health Organization categorized COVID-19 as a pandemic, and the President of the United States declared the COVID-19 outbreak a national emergency. Our operations, which fall within the energy, mining and

Beginningtransportation sectors, are considered critical and essential by the Department of Homeland Security's CISA and we have continued to operate our assets during this pandemic.
We have designated an internal management team to provide resources, updates, and support to our entire workforce during this pandemic, while maintaining a focus to ensure the safety and well-being of our employees, the families of our employees, and the communities in which our businesses operate. We will continue to act in the fourth quarterbest interests of 2016,our employees, stakeholders, customers, partners, and suppliers and make any necessary changes as required by federal, state, or local authorities as we started reportingactively monitor the situation.
COVID-19 has caused commodity prices to decline due to, among other things, reduced industrial activity and travel restrictions that are expected to continue in the near future. Additionally, actions taken by OPEC and other oil exporting nations beginning in early March 2020 have caused additional significant declines and volatility in the price of oil and gas. These low and volatile commodity prices are expected to continue at least for the near-term and possibly longer, reflecting fears of a global recession and potential further global economic damage from COVID-19, including factory shutdowns, travel bans, closings of schools and stores, and cancellations of conventions and similar events, resulting in, among other things, reduced fuel demand, lower manufacturing activity, and high inventories of oil, natural gas, and petroleum products, which could further negatively impact oil, natural gas, and petroleum products and industrial products.
We noted, other than the impact of general macroeconomic conditions, there were no material adverse effects from the pandemic on our results for the three months ended March 31, 2020. Although the potential future limitations and impact of COVID-19 are unknown at this time, and although we tend to experience less demand for certain of our services and products when commodity prices decrease significantly over extended periods of time (and we expect a similar impact on a comparative basisdemand when global restrictions are in fourplace limiting the economy and industrial product use), we believe the fundamentals of our underlying businesses continue to remain strong and, given the current industry environment and capital market behavior, we have continued our focus on de-leveraging our balance sheet, which includes the reduction of our distribution to common unitholders. Finally, given the current operating environment, we are prudently looking at several initiatives to identify and implement cost reductions across our various business segments. Due toDuring April 2020, we also amended our agreements with GSO associated with the increasingly integrated natureexpansion of our onshore operations,Granger soda ash facility to, among other things, extend the results of our onshore pipeline transportation segment, formerly reported under its own segment, is now reported in our onshore facilities and transportation segment. The onshore facilities and transportation segment also now includes what was formerly reported in our supply and logistics segment. This segment was renamed in the second quarter of 2017 to more accurately describe the nature of its operations. We will report the resultsconstruction timeline of the Alkali Business in our renamed sodium minerals and sulfur services segment, which will include the Alkali Businessproject by as wellmuch as our existing refinery services operations.one year.



As a result of the above changes, we currently manage our businesses through four divisions that constitute our reportable segments - offshore pipeline transportation, sodium minerals and sulfur services, onshore facilities and transportation, and marine transportation. Our disclosures related to prior periods have been recast to reflect our reorganized segments.

Results of Operations
Revenues and Costs and Expenses
Our revenues for the 20172020 Quarter increased $26.1decreased $80.1 million, or 5.7%13%, from the 2016 Quarter, which includes the effects of one month of revenue contributed by the Alkali Business. Additionally,2019 Quarter. In addition, our total costs and expenses (excluding interest) increased $38.1as presented on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations decreased $77.2 million, or 9.4%14%, between those two periods. This includes approximately $10.2 million of third party financing, legal and accounting costs primarily attributable to the acquisition of the Alkali Business in the 2017 Quarter. Excluding these items, costs and expenses would have increased $27.9 million between the two periods.
A substantial portion of our revenues and costs are derived from the purchase and sale of crude oil and petroleum products throughin our crude oil marketing business, which is included in the onshore facilities and transportation segment, and revenues and costs associated with our Alkali Business, which is included in the sodium minerals and sulfur services segment. The decrease in our revenues and costs in this segment between those two quarterly periodsthe 2020 Quarter and the 2019 Quarter is primarily attributable toto: (i) decreases in crude oil and petroleum product prices and, to an extent, sales volumes; and (ii) negative impacts of contractual export pricing and soda ash volumes as discussed further below. In general, we do not expect fluctuations in our Alkali Business.
As it relates to our crude oil marketing business, the average closing prices for West Texas Intermediate crude oil on the New York Mercantile Exchange ("NYMEX") decreased 15.8% to $46.17 per barrel in the 2020 Quarter, as compared to $54.85 per barrel in the 2019 Quarter. Additionally, impacts from COVID-19 along with actions taken by OPEC and naturalother oil exporting nations beginning in early March 2020 have caused additional significant price declines and volatility in oil and gas prices. These low and volatile commodity prices are expected to materially affect our net income, Available Cash before Reserves or Segment Margincontinue at least for the near term and possibly longer. We would expect changes in crude oil prices to the same extent theycontinue to proportionately affect our revenues and costs.costs attributable to our purchase and sale of crude oil and petroleum products, producing minimal direct impact on Segment Margin, Net Income, and Available Cash before Reserves. We have limited our direct commodity price exposure related to crude oil and petroleum products through the broad use of fee-based service contracts, back-to-back purchase and sale arrangements, and hedges. As a result, changes in the price of crude oil would proportionately impact both our revenues and our costs, with a disproportionately smaller net impact on our Segment Margin.
As discussed throughout this document and throughout our Annual Report on Form 10-K, However, we do have some indirect exposure to certain changes in prices for crude oil, natural gas, and petroleum products, particularly if they are significant and extended. We tend to experience more demand for certain of our services when commodity prices increase significantly over extended periods of time, and we tend to experience less demand for certain of our services when commodity prices decrease significantly over extended periods of time.

For additional information regarding certain of our indirect exposure to commodity prices, see our segment-by-segment analysis below and the section of our Annual Report entitled “Risks" Risks Related to Our Business”.Business."
Prices of crude oil have slightly recovered since the 2016 Quarter. The average closing prices for West Texas Intermediate crude oil on the New York Mercantile Exchange ("NYMEX") increased 7.3%As it relates to $48.21 per barrel in the 2017 Quarter, as compared to $44.94 per barrel in the 2016 Quarter. We would expect changes in crude oil prices to continue to proportionately affectour Alkali Business, our revenues and costs attributable to our purchaseare derived from the extraction of trona, as well as the activities surrounding the processing and sale of crude oilnatural soda ash and petroleumother alkali specialty products, producing minimalincluding sodium sesquicarbonate (S-Carb) and sodium bicarbonate (Bicarb), and are a function of our selling prices and volume sold. We sell our products to an industry-diverse and worldwide customer base. Our selling prices are contracted at various times throughout the year and for different durations. Typically, our selling prices for volumes sold internationally and through ANSAC are contracted for the current year (in most cases, annually) in the prior December and January of the current year, and our volumes priced and sold domestically are contracted at various times and can be of varying durations, often multi-year terms. Our sales volumes can fluctuate from period to period and are dependent upon many factors, of which the main drivers are the global market, customer demand and economic growth. Positive or negative changes to our revenue, through fluctuations in sales volumes or selling prices, can have a direct impact onto Segment Margin, from those operations. However,Net Income and Available Cash before Reserves as these fluctuations have a lesser impact to operating costs due to the indirect exposure to changesfact that a portion of our costs are fixed in prices discussed above, the factors addressednature. Our costs, of which some are variable in our onshore facilitiesnature and transportation segment discussion below, and the fact the crude oil prices have remained low for an extended period of time as comparedothers are fixed in nature, relate primarily to the five year period before 2015,processing and producing of soda ash (and other alkali specialty products) and marketing and selling activities. In addition, costs include activities associated with mining and extracting trona ore, including energy costs and employee compensation. In our Alkali Business, during the 2020 Quarter as noted above, we had negative effects to our revenues (with a lesser impact to costs) due to lower export pricing and lower sales volumes of soda ash during the 2020 Quarter due to lower economic and market demand. For additional information, see our segment-by-segment analysis below.
In addition to our crude oil marketing business and petroleum product sales volumes have continuedAlkali Business discussed above, we continue to decline, including a 19.0% decreaseoperate in the 2017 Quarter as compared to the 2016 Quarter.
Within our legacy business we have two distinct, complementary types of operations-other core businesses including: (i) our onshore-based refinery-centric crude oil and refined petroleum products transportation, facilities, logistics, and handling operations, focusing predominantly on refinery-centric customers (as opposed to producers), and (ii) our offshore Gulf of Mexico crude oil and natural gas pipeline transportation and handling operations, focusing on integrated and large independent energy companies who make intensive capital investments (often in excess of billions of dollars) to develop numerous large reservoir, long-lived crude oil and natural gas properties.properties; (ii) our sulfur services business, which is one of the leading producers and marketers of NaHS in North and South America; and (iii) our onshore-based refinery-centric operations located primarily in the Gulf Coast region of the U.S., which focus on providing a suite of services primarily to refiners. Refiners are the shippers of over 80%approximately 98% of the volumes transported on our onshore crude pipelines, and refiners contract for over 85%approximately 80% of the use of our inland barges, which are used primarily to transport intermediate refined products (not crude oil) between refining complexes. The shippers on our offshore pipelines are mostly integrated and large independent energy companies who have developed, and continue to explore for, numerous large-reservoir, long-lived crude oil properties whose production is ideally suited for the vast majority of refineries along the Gulf Coast, unlike the lighter crude oil and condensates produced from numerous onshore shale plays. ThoseTheir large-reservoir properties and the related pipelines and other infrastructure needed to develop them are capital intensive and yet, we

believe, economically viable, in most cases, even in this lowerrelatively low commodity price environment.environments. Given these facts, we do not expect changes in commodity prices to impact our net income,Net Income, Available Cash before Reserves or Segment Margin derived from our offshore Gulf of Mexico crude oil and natural gas pipeline transportation and handling operations in the same manner in which they impact our revenues and costs derived from the purchase and sale of crude oil and petroleum products.
A portion of our revenues and costs are derived from the sale of natural soda ash, which has significant cost advantages over any synthetic production methods. We believe the significant cost advantage in the production of natural soda ash compared to synthetically produced soda ash will remain for the foreseeable future. Natural soda ash accounts for approximately 25% of the world's production and therefore given these facts, we believe we are able to somewhat mitigate the effects of market specific factors on Net Income, Available Cash before Reserves and Segment Margin in the soda ash market in which we operate. Additionally, changes in certain of our operating costs between the respective quarters, such as those associated with our sodium minerals and sulfur services, offshore pipeline and marine transportation segments, are not correlated with crude oil prices. We discuss certain of those costs in further detail below in our segment-by-segment analysis.

We define Segment Margin as revenues less product costs, operating expenses, and segment general and administrative expenses, plus our equity in distributable cash generated by our equity investees and certain litigation expenses that are not deducted to determine our Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA under our revolving credit facility. Our Segment Margin definition also includes the non-income portion of payments received under direct financing leases and eliminates non-cash revenues, expenses, gains, losses and charges (such as depreciation and amortization, unrealized gain or loss on derivative transactions not designated as hedges for accounting purposes,after eliminating gain or loss on sale of non-surplus assets, and equity based compensation expenseplus or minus applicable Select Items. Although we do not necessarily consider all of our Select Items to be non-recurring, infrequent or unusual, we believe that an understanding of these Select Items is not settled in cash). Our reconciliationimportant to the evaluation of total Segment Margin to net income reflects that Segment Margin (as defined

above) excludes corporate general and administrative expenses, non-cash gains and charges, depreciation, amortization and accretion, interest expense, certain non-cash items, and unrealized gains and losses on derivative transactions not designated as hedges for accounting purposes.our core operating results.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2020 Compared with Three Months Ended September 30, 2016
Offshore Pipeline Transportation Segment Margin for the 2017 Quarter decreased $8.3 million, or 10%, from the 2016 Quarter. The 2017 Quarter was negatively impacted by both anticipated and unanticipated downtime at several major fields, including weather related downtime, affecting certain of our deepwater Gulf of Mexico customers and thus certain of our key crude oil and natural gas assets, including our Poseidon pipeline and certain associated laterals which we own. While such downtime was temporary, we expect additional downtime relating to weather and maintenance involving certain customers' fields during the fourth quarter of 2017. The quarter also reflects the effects of a contractual step down to a lower transportation rate for a certain lateral which we own that will be in place going forward. In addition, the 2016 Quarter benefited from the temporary diversion of certain natural gas volumes from third party gas pipelines to one of our gas pipelines and related facilities due to disruptions at onshore processing facilities where such volumes typically flow.

The first nine months of 2017 was negatively impacted by both anticipated and unanticipated downtime at several major fields, including weather related downtime, affecting certain of2019, primarily due to higher volumes on our deepwater Gulf of Mexico customers and thus certain of our key crude oil pipeline systems. These increased volumes are primarily the result of first oil flow from the Buckskin and natural gas assets, includingHadrian North production fields during the second quarter of 2019, both of which are fully dedicated to our SEKCO pipeline, and further downstream, our Poseidon oil pipeline system. Additionally, during the second half of 2019, we entered into agreements to move sixty thousand barrels per day on either CHOPS or Poseidon that are delivered to us by a third-party pipeline that has insufficient capacity. These agreements contain ship-or-pay provisions, have terms as long as five years and certain associated laterals which we own. While suchrequired no additional capital on our part.
We expect to see these increased volumes, outside of any unplanned downtime was temporary,or our normal planned maintenance activities during the year, throughout 2020 as our newer projects continue to ramp. Additionally, we expect additional downtime relating to weather and maintenance involving certain customers' fields during the fourth quarter of 2017.

Sodium minerals and sulfur services Segment Margin for the 2017 Quarter increased $9.5 million, or 46%. This increase is principally due to the inclusion of one month's contribution from the Alkali Business. This was partially offset by the results of our refinery services business and related NaHS and caustic soda activities. The 2017 Quarter results for these activities were in line with our expectations and include the effects of previously disclosed commercial discussions with certain of our host refineries and several NaHS customers, which resulted in extending the term and tenor of a large number of contractual relationships.

Sodium minerals and sulfur services Segment Margin for the first ninethree months of 2017 increased $2.32020 decreased $21.7 million, or 4%.37% from the first three months of 2019. This increasedecrease is principallyprimarily due to lower volumes and pricing in our Alkali Business and lower NaHS volumes in our refinery services business. During the inclusion2020 Quarter, we experienced lower export pricing due to supply and demand imbalances that existed at the time of one month's contribution fromour re-contracting phase in December 2019 and January 2020, which is expected to continue, to some extent, for the Alkali Business.rest of 2020 and until we re-contract such pricing at the end of the year for 2021 volumes. This was partially offset bycoupled with lower domestic sales of soda ash during the 2020 Quarter. We expect to see lower soda ash sales volumes in the next few quarters as a result of COVID-19 and until restrictions are lifted globally. In our refinery services business, we experienced a decline in NaHS volumes during the 2020 Quarter due to lower demand from certain of our domestic mining and pulp and paper customers.

Onshore Facilities and Transportation Segment
Our onshore facilities and transportation segment utilizes an integrated set of pipelines and terminals, as well as trucks, railcars, and barges to facilitate the movement of crude oil and refined products on behalf of producers, refiners and other customers. This segment includes crude oil and refined products pipelines, terminals, rail facilities and CO2CO2 pipelines operating primarily within the United States Gulf Coast and Rocky Mountain crude oil markets.market. In addition, we utilize our railcar and trucking fleets that support the purchase and sale of gathered and bulk purchased crude oil, as well as purchased and sold refined products. Through these assets we offer our customers a full suite of services, including the following:
facilitating the transportation of crude oil from producers to refineries and from owned and third party terminals to refiners via pipelines;
transporting CO2
transporting CO2 from natural and anthropogenic sources to crude oil fields owned by our customers;
shipping crude oil and refined products to and from producers and refiners via trucks, pipelines, and railcars;
loading and unloadingUnloading railcars at our crude-by-rail terminals;
storing and blending of crude oil and intermediate and finished refined products;
purchasing/selling and/or transporting crude oil from the wellhead to markets for ultimate use in refining; and

purchasing products from refiners, transporting those products to one of our terminals and blending those products to a quality that meets the requirements of our customers and selling those products (primarily fuel oil, asphalt and other heavy refined products) to wholesale markets.
We also use our terminal facilities to take advantage of contango market conditions, to gather and market crude oil, and to capitalize on regional opportunities which arise from time to time for both crude oil and petroleum products. When we purchase and store crude oil during periods of contango, we attempt to limit direct commodity price risk by simultaneously entering into a contract to sell the inventory in a future period, either with a counterparty or in the crude oil futures market. In April 2020, crude oil price markets were in contango, so we anticipate that opportunities will exist to profit from this strategy for at least the next quarter.
Despite crude oil being considered a somewhat homogeneous commodity, many refiners are very particular about the quality of crude oil feedstock they process. Many U.S. refineries have distinct configurations and product slates that require crude oil with specific characteristics, such as gravity, sulfur content and metals content. The refineries evaluate the costs to obtain, transport and process their preferred feedstocks. That particularity provides us with opportunities to help the refineries in our areas of operation identify crude oil sources and transport crude oil meeting their requirements. The imbalances and inefficiencies relative to meeting the refiners’ requirements may also provide opportunities for us to utilize our purchasing and logistical skills and assets to meet their demands. The pricing in the majority of our crude oil purchase contracts contains a market price component and a deduction to cover the cost of transportation and to provide us with a margin. Contracts sometimes contain a grade differential which considers the chemical composition of the crude oil and its appeal to different customers. Typically, the pricing in a contract to sell crude oil will consist of the market price components and the grade differentials. The margin on individual transactions is then dependent on our ability to manage our transportation costs and to capitalize on grade differentials.
In our refined products marketing operations, we supply primarily fuel oil, asphalt and other heavy refined products to wholesale markets and some end-users such as paper mills and utilities. We also provide a service to refineries by purchasing “heavier” petroleum products that are the residual fuels from gasoline production, transporting them to one of our terminals and blending them to a quality that meets the requirements of our customers.

As a result, a substantial portion of the income tax expense we record relates to the operations of those corporations, and will vary from period to period as a percentage of our income before taxes based on the percentage of our income or loss that is derived

from those corporations. The balance of the income tax expense we record relates to state taxes imposed on our operations that are treated as income taxes under generally accepted accounting principles and foreign income taxes.
Other
Net income for the 2017 Quarter included a $2.5 million unrealized loss on derivative positions as compared to a $0.6 million unrealized gain on derivative positions in the 2016 Quarter. Net income for the first nine months of 2017 included an unrealized loss on derivative positions, excluding fair value hedges, of $3.0 million. Net income for the first nine months of 2016 included an unrealized loss on derivative positions of $0.7 million.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
General
As of September 30, 2017March 31, 2020, we had $314.7our balance sheet and liquidity position remained strong, including $721.5 million of remaining borrowing capacity under our $1.7$1.7 billion senior secured revolving credit facility. We anticipate that our future internally-generated funds and the funds available under our credit facility will allow us to meet our ordinary course capital needs. Our primary sources of liquidity have been cash flows from operations, borrowing availability under our credit facility and the proceeds from issuances of equity and senior unsecured notes.

Our primary cash requirements consist of:
working capital, primarily inventories and trade receivables and payables;
routine operating expenses;
capital growth and maintenance projects;
acquisitions of assets or businesses;
payments related to servicing and reducing outstanding debt; and
quarterly cash distributions to our preferred and common unitholders.

As discussed in our recently announced strategic reallocation of capital, we intend to allocate more capital to debt repayments and growth opportunities (and less to current distributions). 
Capital Resources
Our ability to satisfy future capital needs will depend on our ability to raise substantial amounts of additional capital from time to time — including through equity and debt offerings (public and private), borrowings under our credit facility and other financing transactions—and to implement our growth strategy successfully. No assurance can be made that we will be able to raise additional capitalnecessary funds on satisfactory terms or implement our growth strategy successfully.
At September 30, 2017,March 31, 2020, our long-term debt totaled $4approximately $3.4 billion, consisting of $1.4 billion$977.4 million outstanding under our credit facility (including $39$7.7 million borrowed under the inventory sublimit tranche) and $2.4$2.5 billion of senior unsecured notes, comprised of $350 million carrying amount due on February 15, 2021,comprising $400 million carrying amount due on May 15, 2023, $350$349 million carrying amount due on June 15, 2024, $750 million carrying amount due August 1, 2022 and $550 million carrying amount due October 2025.2025, $447 million carrying amount due May 2026, and $750 million carrying amount due February 15, 2028.
On August 14, 2017,September 23, 2019, we issued $550announced the expansion of our existing Granger facility (the "Granger Optimization Project" or "GOP"). We entered into agreements with GSO for the purchase of up to approximately $350 million in aggregate principal amount of 6.50% senior unsecured notes due October 1, 2025. Interest payments are due April 1 and October 1preferred units of each year with the initial interest payment due April 1, 2018. That issuance generated netAlkali Holdings.

On April 14, 2020, we amendedentered into an amendment to our credit agreementagreements with GSO to, among other things, make certain technical amendments related toextend the financing of our acquisitionconstruction timeline of the Granger expansion project by one year. The extended completion date of the project is mid to late 2023. The Alkali Business.
OnHoldings preferred unitholders will receive PIK distributions in lieu of cash distributions during the new anticipated construction period. As of March 24, 2017,31, 2020 we had issued 4,600,000 Class A common units in a public offering at a price of $30.65 per unit, which included the exercise by the underwriters of an option to purchase up to 600,000 additional common units from us. We received proceeds, net of offering costs, of approximately $140.5 million from that offering.

Class A Convertible Preferred Units
On September 1, 2017, we sold $750$130 million of Class A convertibleAlkali Holdings preferred units in a private placement, comprised of 22,249,494 units for a cash purchase priceto be used to fund the construction. The expansion is expected to increase our production at the Granger facilities by approximately 750,000 tons per unit of $33.71 (subject to certain adjustments, the “Issue Price”) to two initial purchasers. Our general partner executed an amendment to our partnership agreement in connection therewith, which, among other things, authorized and established the rights and preferences of our preferred units. Our preferred units are a new class of security that ranks senior to all of our currently outstanding classes or series of limited partner interests with respect to distribution and/or liquidation rights. Holders of our preferred units vote on an as-converted basis with holders of our common units and have certain class voting rights, including with respect to any amendment to the partnership agreement that would adversely affect the rights, preferences or privileges, or otherwise modify the terms, of those preferred units.
Each of our preferred units accumulate quarterly distribution amounts in arrears at an annual rate of 8.75% (or $2.9496), yielding a quarterly rate of 2.1875% (or $0.7374), subject to certain adjustments. With respect to any quarter ending on or prior to March 1, 2019, we have the option to pay to the holders of our preferred units the applicable distribution amount in cash, preferred units, or any combination thereof. If we elect to pay all or any portion of a quarterly distribution amount in preferred units, the number of such preferred units will equal the product of (i) the number of then outstanding preferred units and (ii) the quarterly rate. We have elected to pay the distribution amount attributable to the quarter ended on September 30, 2017 in preferred units. For each quarter ending after March 1, 2019, we must pay all distribution amounts in respect of our preferred units in cash.
For a period of 30 days following (i) September 1, 2022 and (ii) each subsequent anniversary thereof, the holders of our preferred units may make a one-time election to reset the quarterly distribution amount (a “Rate Reset Election”) to a cash amount per preferred unit equal to the amount that would be payable per quarter if a preferred unit accrued interest on the Issue Price at an annualized rate equal to three-month LIBOR plus 750 basis points; provided, however, that such reset rate shall be equal to 10.75% if (i) such alternative rate is higher than the LIBOR-based rate and (ii) the then market price for our common units is then less than 10% of the Issue Price. To become effective, the Rate Reset Election requires approval of holders of at least a majority of our then outstanding preferred units and such majority must include each of our initial purchasers (or any affiliate to whom they have transferred their preferred units) if such initial purchaser (including its affiliates) holds at least 25% of the then outstanding preferred units.
Upon the occurrence of a Rate Reset Election, we may redeem our preferred units for cash, in whole or in part (subject to certain minimum value limitations) for an amount per preferred unit equal to such preferred unit’s liquidation value (equal to the Issue Price plus any accrued and accumulated but unpaid distributions, plus a prorated portion of certain unpaid partial distributions in respect of the immediately preceding quarter and the current quarter) multiplied by (i) 110%, prior to September 1, 2024, and (ii) 105% thereafter. Each holder of our preferred units may elect to convert all or any portion of its preferred units into common units initially on a one-for-one basis (subject to customary adjustments and an adjustment for accrued and accumulated but unpaid distributions and limitations) at any time after September 1, 2019 (or earlier upon a change of control, liquidation, dissolution or winding up), provided that any conversion is for at least $50 million or such lesser amount if such conversion relates to all of a holder’s remaining preferred units or has otherwise been approved by us.
The Rate Reset Election of these preferred units represents and embedded derivative that must be bifurcated from the related host contract and recorded at fair value on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. See further information in Note 14. The preferred units themselves are classified as mezzanine capital on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.
See Note 9 for additional information regarding our preferred units.year.
Equity Distribution Program and Shelf Registration Statements
We expect to issue additional equity and debt securities in the future to assist us in meeting our future liquidity requirements, particularly those related to opportunistically acquiring assets and businesses and constructing new facilities and refinancing outstanding debt.
In 2016, we implemented an equity distribution program that will allow us to consummate “at the market” offerings of common units from time to time through brokered transactions, which should help mitigate certain adverse consequences of underwritten offerings, including the downward pressure on the market price of our common units and the expensive fees and other costs associated with such public offerings. We entered into an equity distribution agreement with a group of banks who will act as sales agents or principals for up to $400.0 million of our common units, if and when we should elect to issue additional common units from time to time, although there are limits to the amount of our “at the market” offerings the market can absorb from time to time.transactions. In connection with implementing our equity distribution program, we filed a universal shelf registration statement (our "EDP Shelf") with the SEC. Our EDP Shelf allows us to issue up to $1.0 billion of equity and debt securities, whether pursuant to our equity distribution program or otherwise. Our EDP Shelf will expire in October 2020. As of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2020, we havehad issued no additional units under this program.

We have another universal shelf registration statement (our "2015"2018 Shelf") on file with the SEC. Our 20152018 Shelf allows us to issue an unlimited amount of equity and debt securities in connection with certain types of public offerings. However, the receptiveness of the capital markets to an offering of equity and/or debt securities cannot be assured and may be negatively impacted by, among other things, our long-term business prospects and other factors beyond our control, including market conditions. Our 20152018 Shelf will expire in April 2018.2021. We expect to file a replacement universal shelf registration statement before our 20152018 Shelf expires.
Cash Flows from Operations
We generally utilize the cash flows we generate from our operations to fund our distributions and working capital needs. Excess funds that are generated are used to repay borrowings under our credit facility and/or to fund a portion of our capital expenditures.expenditures and asset retirement obligations (if any). Our operating cash flows can be impacted by changes in items of working capital, primarily variances in the carrying amount of inventory and the timing of payment of accounts payable and accrued liabilities related to capital expenditures.
We typically sell our purchased crude oil in the same month in which we purchaseacquire it, so we do not need to rely on borrowings under our credit facility to pay for such crude oil purchases, other than inventory. During such periods, our accounts receivable and accounts payable generally move in tandem, as we make payments and receive payments for the purchase and sale of crude oil.

In our petroleum products onshore facilities and transportation activities, we buypurchase products and typically either move those products to one of our storage facilities for further blending or sell those products within days of our purchase. The cash requirements for these activities can result in short term increases and decreases in our borrowings under our credit facility.
In our Alkali Business, we typically extract trona from our mining facilities, process it into soda ash and other alkali products, and deliver and sell the alkali products to our customers all within a relatively short time frame. If we do experience any differences in timing of extraction, processing and sales of our trona or alkali products, it could impact the cash requirements for these activities in the short term.
The storage of our inventory of crude oil and petroleum products can have a material impact on our cash flows from operating activities. In the month we pay for the stored crude oil or petroleum products, we borrow under our credit facility (or use cash on hand) to pay for the crude oil or petroleum products, utilizing a portion of our operating cash flows. Conversely, cash flow from operating activities increases during the period in which we collect the cash from the sale of the stored crude oil or petroleum products. Additionally, we may be required to deposit margin funds with the NYMEX when commodity prices increase as the value of the derivatives utilized to hedge the price risk in our inventory fluctuates. These deposits also impact our operating cash flows as we borrow under our credit facility or use cash on hand to fund the deposits.
    See Note 1314 in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for information regarding changes in components of operating assets and liabilities for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2020 and September 30, 2016.March 31, 2019.
Net cash flows provided by our operating activities for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017three months ended March 31, 2020 were $217.8$89.6 million compared to $228.4$114.0 million for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2016.three months ended March 31, 2019. This decrease in operating cash flow is primarily dueattributable to an increase in working capital needs.transaction costs incurred during the 2020 Quarter associated with the tender and redemption of our 2022 Notes.
Capital Expenditures, Distributions and Distributions Paid to our UnitholdersCertain Cash Requirements
We use cash primarily for our operating expenses, working capital needs, debt service, acquisition activities, organic growth projects, maintenance capital expenditures and distributions we pay to our preferred and common unitholders. We finance maintenance capital expenditures and smaller organic growth projects and distributions primarily with cash generated by our operations. We have historically funded material growth capital projects (including acquisitions and organic growth projects) with borrowings under our credit facility, equity issuances and/or issuances of senior unsecured notes.

We currently plan to allocate a substantial portion of our excess cash flow to reduce the balance outstanding under our revolving credit facility and to opportunistically repurchase our outstanding senior unsecured notes.

Expenditures for capital assets to grow the partnership distribution will depend on our access to debt and equity capital. We will look for opportunities to acquire assets from other parties that meet our criteria for stable cash flows. We continue to pursue a long-term growth strategy that may require significant capital.
Growth Capital Expenditures
On September 23, 2019, we announced the Granger Optimization Project. We entered into agreements with GSO for the purchase of up to approximately $350 million of preferred units of Alkali Holdings. The proceeds received from GSO will fund up to 100% of the anticipated cost of the GOP. On April 14, 2020, we entered into an amendment to our agreements with GSO to, among other things, extend the construction timeline of the Granger expansion project by one year. The extended completion date of the project is mid to late 2023. The Alkali Holdings preferred unitholders will receive PIK distributions in lieu of cash distributions during the new anticipated construction period. As of March 31, 2020 we had issued $130 million of Alkali Holdings preferred units to be used to fund the construction. The expansion is expected to increase our production at the Granger facilities by approximately 750,000 tons per year.
Except for the Granger Optimization Project, we do not anticipate spending approximately $45.0 million, inclusive of capitalized interest,material growth capital expenditures on any individual projects during 2020.
Maintenance Capital Expenditures
Maintenance capital expenditures incurred during the remainder of 2017 for projects currently under construction. The most significant of2020 Quarter primarily relate to expenditures in our recent projects are described below.
Baton Rouge Area Infrastructure Expansion
We are currently expandingAlkali Business and in our existing Baton Rouge area infrastructuremarine transportation segment. Our Alkali Business, which is included in our sodium minerals and sulfur services segment, incurs expenditures to allow for greater capacitymaintain its equipment and flexibility in servicing our major refinery customer in the region. This expansion includes the construction of an additional 500,000 barrels of crude oil tankage at our existing Baton Rouge Terminal. Additionally, this expansion will include the upgrading of pumping and other infrastructure capabilities in order to allow for the efficient handling of expected increases in crude oil volumes received at our Baton Rouge area facilities. We expect these assets to become operational in the first quarter of 2018.
Houston Area Crude Oil Pipeline and Terminal Infrastructure
We have constructed new, and expanded existing, crude oil pipeline and terminal facilities in Webster, Texas and Texas City, Texas as a result of expanding our crude oil pipeline and terminal infrastructure in the Houston area. We have also constructed a new crude oil pipeline that delivers crude oil received from upstream crude oil pipelines (including CHOPS, which delivers crude oil originating in the deepwater Gulf of Mexicodue to the Texas City area) tonature of its operations. Our marine transportation segment incurs expenditures as we frequently replace and upgrade certain equipment associated with our new Texas City Terminal, which connects tobarge and vessel fleet during our existing 18-inch Webster to Texas City crude oil pipeline. Our new Texas City Terminal includes approximately 750,000 barrels of crude oil tankage. As a part of this project, we have also made the necessary upgrades on our existing 18-inch Webster to Texas City crude oil pipeline to reverse the direction of flow. The result of this expanded crude oil

infrastructure allows additional optionality to Houstonplanned and Baytown area refineries, including the ExxonMobil Baytown refinery, its largest refinery in the U.S.A., and provides additional delivery outlets for other crude oil pipelines.  These assets became operational in the second quarter of 2017.
Raceland Terminal and Crude Oil Pipeline
We have constructed a new crude oil terminal and pipeline in Raceland, Louisiana that connects to existing midstream infrastructure to provide further distribution to the Louisiana refining markets. Our new Raceland Terminal consists of 515,000 barrels of crude oil tankage and unit train unloading facilities capable of unloading up to two unit trains per day. We have also constructed a new crude oil pipeline that will deliver crude oil received from the Poseidon system, which currently delivers crude oil originating in the deepwater Gulf of Mexico to the Houma, Louisiana area, to our new Raceland Terminal for further distribution. These assets became fully operational at the end of the second quarter of 2017.
InlandMarine Barge Transportation Expansion
We ordered 28 new-build barges and 18 new-build push boats for our inland marine barge transportation fleet. We have accepted delivery of 23 of those barges and 18 of those push boats through September 30, 2017. We expect to take delivery of those remaining barges periodically through 2017 and 2018.
Maintenance Capital Expenditures
Our slight increase in maintenance capital expenditures for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 Quarter as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2016 Quarter principally relates to an increase in marine maintenance capital spending as a result of higher spending on certain vessel replacement parts and components.unplanned drydocks. See further discussion under "Available Cash before Reserves" for how such maintenance capital utilization is reflected in our calculation of Available Cash before Reserves.
Proceeds from Assets Sales
The nine months ended September 30, 2017 include proceeds from asset sales of $39.2 million, as compared to proceeds of $3.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2016. This is principally comprised of the sale of certain non-core natural gas gathering and platform assets in the Gulf of Mexico in the second quarter of 2017. Subsequent to the end of the 2017 Quarter, we sold a non-core crude oil terminal facility in the Permian Basin, which completed a series of smaller asset sales totaling approximately $76 million (inclusive of non-core asset sales recognized through September 30, 2017).
Distributions to Unitholders
As recently announced as part of our strategic reallocation of capital, we reset our common unit distribution to $0.50 per common unit. On November 14, 2017,May 15, 2020, we will pay a distribution of $0.50$0.15 per common unit totaling $61.3$18.4 million with respect to the 2017 Quarter to common unitholders of record on October 31, 2017.2020 Quarter. Information on our recent distribution history is included in Note 109 to our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
With respect to our Class A Convertible Preferred Units, we have declared a payment-in-kind ("PIK") of the quarterly distribution, which will result in the issuance of an additional 162,234 Class A Convertible Preferred Units. This PIK amount, as pro-rated based on the period these units were outstanding, equates to acash distribution of $0.2458$0.7374 per Class A Convertible Preferred Unit (or $2.9496 on an annualized basis) for the 2017 Quarter, or $2.9496 annualized.each Class A Convertible Preferred Unit held of record. These distributions will be payable on November 14, 2017May 15, 2020 to unitholders holders of record at the close of business on November 3, 2017.May 1, 2020.
Guarantor Summarized Financial Information
Our $2.5 billion aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes co-issued by Genesis Energy, L.P. and Genesis Energy Finance Corporation are fully and unconditionally guaranteed jointly and severally by all of Genesis Energy, L.P.’s current and future 100% owned domestic subsidiaries (the "Guarantor Subsidiaries), except the subsidiaries that hold our Alkali Business (collectively, the "Alkali Subsidiaries"), Genesis Free State Pipeline, LLC, Genesis NEJD Pipeline, LLC, and certain other subsidiaries. Genesis NEJD Pipeline, LLC is 100% owned by Genesis Energy, L.P., the parent company. The remaining non-guarantor subsidiaries are owned by Genesis Crude Oil, L.P., a Guarantor Subsidiary. The Guarantor Subsidiaries largely own the assets that we use to operate our business other than our Alkali Business. As a general rule, the assets and credit of our unrestricted subsidiaries are not available to satisfy the debts of Genesis Energy, L.P., Genesis Energy Finance Corporation or the Guarantor Subsidiaries, and the liabilities of our unrestricted subsidiaries do not constitute obligations of Genesis Energy, L.P., Genesis Energy Finance Corporation or the Guarantor Subsidiaries except, in the case of Alkali Holdings and Genesis Energy, L.P., to the extent agreed to in the Services Agreement. Genesis Energy Finance Corporation has no independent assets or operations. See Note 9 for additional information regarding our consolidated debt obligations.
The guarantees are senior unsecured obligations of each Guarantor Subsidiary and rank equally in right of payment with other existing and future senior indebtedness of such Guarantor Subsidiary, and senior in right of payment to all existing and future subordinated indebtedness of such Guarantor Subsidiary.

We define Available Cash before Reserves (“Available Cash before Reserves”) as net income before interest, taxes, depreciation, depletion, and amortization (including impairment, write-offs, accretion and similar items) after eliminating other non-cash revenues, expenses, gains, losses and charges (including any loss on asset dispositions), plus or minus certain other select items that we view as not indicative of our core operating results (collectively, “Select Items”), as adjusted for certain items, the most significant of which in the relevant reporting periods have been the sum of maintenance capital utilized, net interest expense, cash tax expense, and cash distributions to our preferred unitholders. Although, we do not necessarily consider all of our Select Items to be non-recurring, infrequent or unusual, we believe that an understanding of these Select Items is important to the evaluation of our core operating results. The most significant Select Items in the relevant reporting periods are set forth below.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
General
To help evaluate our business, we use the non-generally accepted accounting principle (“non-GAAP”) financial measure of Available Cash before Reserves. We also present total Segment Margin as if it were a non-GAAP measure. Our Non-GAAPnon-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies because such measures may include or exclude other specified items. The schedules above provide reconciliations of Available Cash before Reserves to its most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (GAAP). A reconciliation of total Segment Margin to net income is also included in our segment disclosure in Note 1112 to our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Our non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered (i) as alternatives to GAAP measures of liquidity or financial performance or (ii) as being singularly important in any particular context; they should be considered in a broad context with other quantitative and qualitative information. Our Available Cash before Reserves and total Segment Margin measures are just two of the relevant data points considered from time to time.
When evaluating our performance and making decisions regarding our future direction and actions (including making discretionary payments, such as quarterly distributions) our board of directors and management team has access to a wide range of historical and forecasted qualitative and quantitative information, such as our financial statements; operational information; various non-GAAP measures; internal forecasts; credit metrics; analyst opinions; performance, liquidity and similar measures; income; cash flow; and expectations for us, and certain information regarding some of our peers. Additionally, our board of directors and management team analyze, and place different weight on, various factors from time to time. We believe that investors benefit from having access to the same financial measures being utilized by management, lenders, analysts and other market participants. We attempt to provide adequate information to allow each individual investor and other external user to reach her/his own conclusions regarding our actions without providing so much information as to overwhelm or confuse such investor or other external user. Our non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as an alternative to GAAP

measures such as net income, operating income, cash flow from operating activities or any other GAAP measure of liquidity or financial performance.
Segment Margin

Our chief operating decision maker (our Chief Executive Officer) evaluates segment performance based on a variety of measures including Segment Margin, segment volumes where relevant and capital investment. We define Segment Margin as revenues less product costs, operating expenses, and segment general and administrative expenses, plus our equity in distributable cash generated by our equity investees and certain litigation expenses that are not deducted to determine our Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA under our revolving credit facility. Our Segment Margin definition also includes the non-income portion of payments received under direct financing leases and eliminates non-cash revenues, expenses, gains, losses and charges (such as depreciation and amortization, unrealized gain or loss on derivative transactions not designated as hedges for accounting purposes,after eliminating gain or loss on sale of non-surplus assets, and equity based compensation expenseplus or minus applicable Select Items. Although, we do not necessarily consider all of our Select Items to be non-recurring, infrequent or unusual, we believe that an understanding of these Select Items is not settled in cash).important to the evaluation of our core operating results.
A reconciliation of total Segment Margin to net income is included in our segment disclosure in Note 912 to our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, as well as previously in this Item 2.
Available Cash before Reserves
Purposes, Uses and Definition
Available Cash before Reserves, alsooften referred to by others as distributable cash flow, is a quantitative standard used throughout the investment community with respect to publicly traded partnerships and is commonly used as a supplemental financial measure by management and by external users of financial statements such as investors, commercial banks, research analysts and rating agencies, to aid in assessing, among other things:
(1)the financial performance of our assets;
(2)our operating performance;
(3)the viability of potential projects, including our cash and overall return on alternative capital investments as compared to those of other companies in the midstream energy industry;
(4)the ability of our assets to generate cash sufficient to satisfy certain non-discretionary cash requirements, including interest payments and certain maintenance capital requirements; and
(5)our ability to make certain discretionary payments, such as distributions on our preferred and common units, growth capital expenditures, certain maintenance capital expenditures and early payments of indebtedness.

We define Available Cash before Reserves as net income as adjusted for certain items, some of the most significant of which tend to be (a) the elimination of certain non-cash revenues, expenses, gains, losses or charges (such as depreciation and amortization, unrealized gain or loss on derivative transactions not designated as hedges for accounting purposes, gain or loss on sale of non-surplus assets and equity compensation expense that is not settled in cash), (b) the substitution of distributable cash generated by our equity investees in lieu of our equity income attributable to our equity investees (includes distributions attributable to the quarter and received during or promptly following such quarter), (c) the elimination of expenses related to acquiring or constructing assets that provide new sources of cash flows, (d) certain litigation expenses that are not deducted in determining our Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA under our senior secured credit facility, and (e) the subtraction of maintenance capital utilized, which is described in detail below.
Disclosure Format Relating to Maintenance Capital
We use a modified format relating to maintenance capital requirements because our maintenance capital expenditures vary materially in nature (discretionary vs. non-discretionary), timing and amount from time to time. We believe that, without such modified disclosure, such changes in our maintenance capital expenditures could be confusing and potentially misleading to users of our financial information, particularly in the context of the nature and purposes of our Available Cash before Reserves measure. Our modified disclosure format provides those users with information in the form of our maintenance capital utilized measure (which we deduct to arrive at Available Cash before Reserves). Our maintenance capital utilized measure constitutes a proxy for non-discretionary maintenance capital expenditures and it takes into consideration the relationship among maintenance capital expenditures, operating expenses and depreciation from period to period.
Maintenance Capital Requirements
Maintenance Capital Expenditures
Maintenance capital expenditures are capitalized costs that are necessary to maintain the service capability of our existing assets, including the replacement of any system component or equipment which is worn out or obsolete. Maintenance capital expenditures can be discretionary or non-discretionary, depending on the facts and circumstances.
Initially, substantially all of our maintenance capital expenditures were (a) related to our pipeline assets and similar infrastructure, (b) non-discretionary in nature and (c) immaterial in amount as compared to our Available Cash before Reserves measure. Those historical expenditures were non-discretionary (or mandatory) in nature because we had very little (if any) discretion as to whether or when we incurred them. We had to incur them in order to continue to operate the related pipelines in a safe and reliable manner and consistently with past practices. If we had not made those expenditures, we would not have been able to continue to operate all or portions of those pipelines, which would not have been economically feasible. An example of a non-discretionary (or mandatory) maintenance capital expenditure would be replacing a segment of an old pipeline because one can no longer operate that pipeline safely, legally and/or economically in the absence of such replacement.
As we exist today, a substantial amount of our maintenance capital expenditures from time to time will be (a) related to our assets other than pipelines, such as our marine vessels, trucks and similar assets, (b) discretionary in nature and (c) potentially material in amount as compared to our Available Cash before Reserves measure. Those expenditures will be discretionary (or non-mandatory) in nature because we will have significant discretion as to whether or when we incur them.

We will not be forced to incur them in order to continue to operate the related assets in a safe and reliable manner. If we chose not make those expenditures, we would be able to continue to operate those assets economically, although in lieu of maintenance capital expenditures, we would incur increased operating expenses, including maintenance expenses. An example of a discretionary (or non-mandatory) maintenance capital expenditure would be replacing an older marine vessel with a new marine vessel with substantially similar specifications, even though one could continue to economically operate the older vessel in spite of its increasing maintenance and other operating expenses.
In summary, as we continue to expand certain non-pipeline portions of our business, we are experiencing changes in the nature (discretionary vs. non-discretionary), timing and amount of our maintenance capital expenditures that merit a more detailed review and analysis than was required historically. Management’s recently increasing ability to determine if and when to incur certain maintenance capital expenditures is relevant to the manner in which we analyze aspects of our business relating to discretionary and non-discretionary expenditures. We believe it would be inappropriate to derive our Available Cash before Reserves measure by deducting discretionary maintenance capital expenditures, which we believe are similar in nature in this context to certain other discretionary expenditures, such as growth capital expenditures, distributions/dividends and equity buybacks. Unfortunately, not all maintenance capital expenditures are clearly discretionary or non-discretionary in nature. Therefore, we developed a measure, maintenance capital utilized, that we believe is more useful in the determination of Available Cash before Reserves. Our maintenance capital utilized measure, which is described in more detail below, constitutes a proxy for non-discretionary maintenance capital expenditures and it takes into consideration the relationship among maintenance capital expenditures, operating expenses and depreciation from period to period.
Maintenance Capital Utilized

We believe our maintenance capital utilized measure is the most useful quarterly maintenance capital requirements measure to use to derive our Available Cash before Reserves measure. We define our maintenance capital utilized measure as that portion of the amount of previously incurred maintenance capital expenditures that we utilize during the relevant quarter, which would be equal to the sum of the maintenance capital expenditures we have incurred for each project/component in prior quarters allocated ratably over the useful lives of those projects/components.
Because we did not initially use our maintenance capital utilized measure, our future maintenance capital utilized calculations will reflect the utilization of solely those maintenance capital expenditures incurred since December 31, 2013.

The widespread outbreak of an illness, pandemic (like COVID-19) or any other public health crisis may have material adverse effects on our business, financial position, results of operations and/or cash flows.
In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus (SARS-Cov-2), which causes COVID-19, was reported to have surfaced in China. The spread of this virus has caused business disruption, including disruption to the oil and natural gas and industrial industries. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of COVID-19 to be a pandemic, and the U.S. economy began to experience pronounced effects. The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted the global economy, disrupted global supply chains, reduced global demand for oil and gas, petroleum products and industrial products, and created significant volatility and disruption of financial and commodity markets. The extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our operational and financial performance, including our ability to execute our business strategies and initiatives in the expected time frame, is uncertain and depends on various factors, including the demand for oil and natural gas, petroleum products and industrial products (including the impact that reductions in travel, manufacturing and consumer product demand have had and will have on the demand for commodities), the availability of personnel, equipment and services critical to our ability to operate our assets and the impact of potential governmental restrictions on travel, transportation and operations. There is uncertainty around the extent and duration of the disruption. The degree to which the COVID-19 pandemic or any other public health crisis adversely impacts our results will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted. These developments include, but are not limited to, the duration and spread of the outbreak, its severity, the actions to contain the virus or treat its impact, its impact on the economy and market conditions, and how quickly and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions can resume. These potential impacts, while uncertain, could adversely affect our operating results.
