NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

These Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019  (the “2019 Form 10-K”) filed with the SEC on February 28, 2020.


Note 2.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Apart from those matters noted below, there have been no changes in our significant accounting policies since those reported under Note 2 of the 2019 Form 10-K.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

The following table provides a reconciliation of cash and cash equivalents, and restricted cash reported within the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets that sum to the total of the amounts shown in the Unaudited Condensed Statements of Consolidated Cash Flows.

Restricted cash primarily represents amounts held in segregated bank accounts by our clearing brokers as margin in support of our commodity derivative instruments portfolio and related physical purchases and sales of natural gas, NGLs, crude oil, refined products and power.  Additional cash may be restricted to maintain our commodity derivative instruments portfolio as prices fluctuate or margin requirements change.  See Note 14 for information regarding our derivative instruments and hedging activities.

Recent Accounting Developments

Credit Losses
In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.  The new guidance, referred to as the current expected credit loss model, requires the measurement of  expected credit losses for financial assets (e.g., accounts receivable) held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current economic conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts.  These result in the more timely recognition of losses.  The adoption of this new guidance on January 1, 2020 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Fair Value Measurement
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurements (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, which amended the disclosure requirements related to fair value measurements in an effort to enhance the overall usefulness of the disclosures and reduce costs by eliminating certain disclosures that were not considered to be decision-useful for users of the financial statements.  The ASU will now require incremental disclosures regarding changes in unrealized gains and losses, significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements and measurement uncertainty.  Additionally, the ASU eliminated certain policy and process disclosures and reporting requirements.

The adoption of this new guidance on January 1, 2020 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.  See Note 14 for information regarding our fair value measurements.

ENTERPRISE PRODUCTS PARTNERS L.P.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


Goodwill
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. This ASU simplifies the accounting for goodwill impairment by removing Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test, which requires a hypothetical purchase price allocation. Goodwill impairment will now be the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill.  We adopted this guidance on January 1, 2020 for future goodwill impairment testing.


Note 3.  Inventories

Our inventory amounts by product type were as follows at the dates indicated:

Total $2,024.1  $2,091.4  $3,192.6  $2,091.4 

Inventories of NGLs, refined products and crude oil increased since December 31, 2019 primarily due to the use of working capital in connection with our marketing activities.

Due to fluctuating commodity prices, we recognize lower of cost or net realizable value adjustments when the carrying value of our available-for-sale inventories exceeds their net realizable value.  The following table presents our total cost of sales amounts and lower of cost or net realizable value adjustments for the periods indicated:

Asset impairment charges and related matters

We recognized non-cash asset impairment charges of $77.0 million and $90.4 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, primarily due to the complete write-off of assets that would no longer be used or constructed.  These charges include the $42.0 million of expense we recognized in September 2020 in connection with our cancellation of the Midland-to-ECHO 4 pipeline construction project. We recognized impairment charges of $39.4 million and $51.2 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, primarily due to the complete write-off of assets that would no longer be used.  These impairment charges are a component of “Operating costs and expenses” on our Unaudited Condensed Statements of Consolidated Operations. We recognized $0.1 million of impairment charges in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 that are a component of general and administrative costs.

We are closely monitoring the recoverability of our long-lived assets in light of the adverse economic effects of the coronavirus disease 2019 (“COVID-19”) pandemic.  If the adverse economic impacts of the pandemic persist for longer periods than currently expected, these developments could result in the recognition of additional non-cash impairment charges in the future.

In connection with our cancellation of the Midland-to-ECHO 4 pipeline project, we reclassified $311.7 million of pipe and related items that were purchased for the project from construction in progress to long-term spare parts, where they will be held for future use.  Long-term spare parts is a component of “Other assets” as presented on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Asset Retirement Obligations

Property, plant and equipment at JuneSeptember 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 includes $70.3$70.2 million and $69.6 million, respectively, of asset retirement costs capitalized as an increase in the associated long-lived asset.  The following table presents information regarding our asset retirement obligations, or AROs, since December 31, 2019:

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of an acquired business over the amounts assigned to assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transaction.  There has been no change in our goodwill amounts since those reported in our 2019 Form 10-K.

We are closely monitoring the recoverability of our long-lived assets, which include goodwill, in light of the COVID-19 pandemic (see Note 4).

Expected Renewal of September 20192020 364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement

EPO’sIn September 2020, EPO entered into a new 364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement that replaced its September 2019 364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement.  The new 364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement is scheduled to maturematures in September 2020.  As a result, EPO expects to renew this credit agreement during the third quarter of 2020.  At June 30, 2020, there were2021. There was no principal amountsamount outstanding under the September 2019 364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement when it expired and was replaced by the September 2020 364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement.

Under the terms of the September 2020 364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement, EPO may borrow up to $1.5 billion (which may be increased by up to $200 million to $1.7 billion at EPO’s election, provided certain conditions are met) at a variable interest rate for a term of up to 364 days, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein.  To the extent that principal amounts are outstanding at the maturity date, EPO may elect to have the entire principal balance then outstanding continued as non-revolving term loans for a period of one additional year, payable in September 2022. Borrowings under the September 2020 364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement may be used for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions and general company purposes.

The September 2020 364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, covenants (affirmative and negative) and events of default, the occurrence of which would permit the lenders to accelerate the maturity date of any amounts borrowed under this credit agreement.  The September 2020 364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement also restricts EPO’s ability to pay cash distributions to its parent, Enterprise Products Partners L.P., if an event of default (as defined in the credit agreement) has occurred and is continuing at the time such distribution is scheduled to be paid or would result therefrom.

EPO’s obligations under the September 2020 364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement are not secured by any collateral; however, they are guaranteed by Enterprise Products Partners L.P.

August 2020 Senior Notes Offering

In August 2020, EPO issued $1.0 billion in principal amount of 3.20% senior notes due February 2052(“Senior Notes DDD”) and $250.0 million in principal amount of 2.80% reopened Senior Notes AAA (as defined below).  The reopened Senior Notes AAA and the Senior Notes DDD were issued at 107.211% and 99.233% of their principal amounts, respectively.

We received aggregate net proceeds of $1.25 billion from the sale of the notes after deducting underwriting discounts and other estimated offering expenses payable by us.  Net proceeds from the issuance of these senior notes will be used for general company purposes, including for growth capital investments, and to repay all or part of $750.0 million in principal amount of Senior Notes TT, which mature in February 2021.

The reopened Senior Notes AAA represent a re-opening of an outstanding series of EPO’s senior notes. EPO originally issued $1.0 billion principal amount of Senior Notes AAA on January 15, 2020. The reopened Senior Notes AAA form a single series with the original notes of that series, trade under the same CUSIP number, and have the same terms as to status, redemption or otherwise as the original notes of that series.

EPO’s fixed-rate senior notes are unsecured obligations of EPO that rank equal with its existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness.  They are senior to any existing and future subordinated indebtedness of EPO.  EPO’s senior notes are subject to make-whole redemption rights and were issued under indentures containing certain covenants, which generally restrict its ability (with certain exceptions) to incur debt secured by liens and engage in sale and leaseback transactions. 

April 2020 364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement

In April 2020, EPO entered into an additional 364-day revolving credit agreement (the “April 2020 364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement”). The new agreement providesprovided EPO with an incremental $1.0 billion of borrowing capacity thereby increasing its overall borrowing capacity under its revolving credit agreements to $6.0 billion.  Under the terms of the April 2020 364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement, EPO may borrow up to $1.0 billion at a variable interest rate for a term of 364 days, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein.  EPO may use proceeds from borrowings under

Following execution of the AprilSeptember 2020 364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement, for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions and other company purposes.EPO terminated the April 2020 364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement on September 11, 2020.

January 2020 Senior Notes Offering in January 2020

In January 2020, EPO issued $3.0 billion aggregate principal amount of senior notes comprised of (i) $1.0 billion principal amount of senior notes due January 2030 (“Senior Notes AAA”), (ii) $1.0 billion principal amount of senior notes due January 2051 (“Senior Notes BBB”) and (iii) $1.0 billion principal amount of senior notes due January 2060 (“Senior Notes CCC”).   Net proceeds from this offering were used by EPO for the repayment of $500 million principal amount of its Senior Notes Q that matured in January 2020, temporary repayment of amounts outstanding under its commercial paper program and for general company purposes.  In addition, net proceeds from this offering will bewere used by EPO for the repayment of $1.0 billion principal amount of its Senior Notes Y upon their maturitythat matured in September 2020.

Senior Notes AAA were issued at 99.921% of their principal amount and have a fixed-rate interest rate of 2.80% per year.  Senior Notes BBB were issued at 99.413% of their principal amount and have a fixed-rate interest rate of 3.70% per year.  Senior Notes CCC were issued at 99.360% of their principal amount and have a fixed-rate interest rate of 3.95% per year.  EPD guaranteed these senior notes through an unconditional guarantee on an unsecured and unsubordinated basis.

Registration Statements
We have a universal shelf registration statement (the “2019 Shelf”) on file with the SEC which allows EPDthe Partnership and EPO (each on a standalone basis) to issue an unlimited amount of equity and debt securities, respectively. EPO issued $3.0$4.25 billion of senior notes in Januaryduring 2020 using the 2019 Shelf (see Note 7).

In addition, EPD has a registration statement on file with the SEC covering the issuance of up to $2.54 billion of its common units in amounts, at prices and on terms to be determined by market conditions and other factors at the time of such offerings in connection with its at-the-market (“ATM”) program.  During the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020 and 2019, EPD did not issue any common units under its ATM program.  After taking into account the aggregate sales price of common units sold under the ATM program through JuneSeptember 30, 2020, EPD has the capacity to issue additional common units under its ATM program up to an aggregate sales price of $2.54 billion. The existing ATM registration statement expires in November 2020, at which time we expect to file a replacement ATM registration statement with the SEC in order to maintain our financial flexibility.

We may issue additional equity and debt securities to assist us in meeting our future liquidity requirements, including those related to capital investments.

Settlement of Liquidity Option in March 2020 Issuance of Common Units to Skyline North Americas, Inc. and related acquisition of Treasury Units
OnIn February 25, 2020, the Partnership received notice from Marquard & Bahls AG (“M&B”) of itsM&B’s election to exercise its rights (the “Liquidity Option”) under the Liquidity Option Agreement among EPD,the Partnership, OTA Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation previously named Oiltanking Holding Americas, Inc. (“OTA”), and M&B dated October 1, 2014 (the “Liquidity Option Agreement”).  On March 5, 2020, wethe Partnership settled ourits obligations under the Liquidity Option Agreement by issuing 54,807,352 new EPD common units to Skyline North Americas, Inc. (“Skyline,” an affiliate of M&B) in exchange for the capital stock of OTA.   Upon settlementAs a result of the Liquidity Option,settlement, OTA became a consolidated subsidiary of ours and we indirectly acquired the 54,807,352 EPDPartnership common units owned by OTA (which were issued by the Partnership to OTA in October 2014) and assumed all future income tax obligations of OTA, including its deferred tax liability.  At March 5, 2020, OTA’s assets and liabilities consisted primarily of the EPDPartnership common units it owned and the related deferred tax liability, respectively.

At March 5, 2020, ourthe Partnership’s accrual for the Liquidity Option liability was $511.9 million.  The Liquidity Option liability, at any measurement date, representsrepresented the presentfair value of estimated federal and state income taxes that we believe a market participant would incurassume due to ownership of OTA, including its deferred income tax liabilities.  OTA’s deferred tax liability at March 5, 2020 was $439.7 million.  The market value of the new EPD common units issued by the Partnership to Skyline was $1.3$1.30 billion based on a closing price of $23.67 per unit on March 5, 2020.

The 54,807,352 new EPD common units issued to Skyline upon settlement of the Liquidity Option constitute “restricted securities” in the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and may not be resold except pursuant to an effective registration statement or an available exemption under the Securities Act.  In connection with the settlement of the Liquidity Option, Enterprisethe Partnership entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with Skyline. Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, Skyline has the right to request that wethe Partnership prepare and file a registration statement to permit and otherwise facilitate the public resale of all or a portion of such EPDthe Partnership’s common units thatowned by Skyline and its affiliates then own.  affiliates.  The Partnership’sOur obligation to Skyline to effect such transactions is limited to 5 registration statements and underwritten offerings.  In May 2020, wethe Partnership filed a registration statement on behalf of Skyline for the resale of up to 54,807,352 EPD common units. This registration statement is effective and, in June 2020, wethe Partnership filed a prospectus supplement to this registration statement that allows Skyline to sell up to $500 million of the EPDPartnership’s common units it owns in connection with an “at-the-market” program that it administers.   We willdo not receive any proceeds from such offerings.

As a result of the Liquidity Option settlement, the partners’ equity balance for common units (as presented on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet) increased by $1.30 billion, representing the $1.3 billion market value of the new EPDPartnership’s common units issued to Skyline.

Since OTA does not meet the definition of a business as described in ASCAccounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805, Business Combinations, the acquisition of OTA transaction was accounted for as the purchasereacquisition of treasurylimited partner units and the assumption of theOTA’s related deferred tax liability.liability by the Partnership.  In consolidation, we present the 54,807,352 EPD commonlimited partner units owned by OTA as treasury units, with their historical cost based onequal to the $1.31.30 billion market value of the 54,807,352 new EPDPartnership common units issued to Skyline.  On September 30, 2020, OTA exchanged the common units it holds for preferred units issued by the Partnership.  For information regarding the preferred units and exchange transaction, see “Redeemable Preferred Limited Partner Interests” within this Note 8.

Upon settlement of the Liquidity Option, the Liquidity Option liability was effectively replaced by the deferred tax liability of OTA as calculated in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes.  See Note 11 for additional information regarding OTA’s deferred tax liability.

Prior to March 5, 2020, changes in the estimated fair value of the Liquidity Option liability were recognized in earnings as a component of other income (expense) on our Unaudited Condensed Statements of Consolidated Operations.  We recognized $2.3 million of expense for the period January 1, 2020 to March 5, 2020 attributable to changes in the estimated fair value of the Liquidity Option.  We recognized $38.7 million and $123.1 million of such expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively.

Common Unit Repurchases Under 2019 Buyback Program
In January 2019, we announced that the Board of Enterprise GP had approved a $2.0 billion multi-year unit buyback program (the “2019 Buyback Program”), which provides EPDthe Partnership with an additional method to return capital to investors. The 2019 Buyback Program authorizes EPDthe Partnership to repurchase its common units from time to time, including through open market purchases and negotiated transactions.  The timing and pace of buy backs under the program will be determined by a number of factors including (i) our financial performance and flexibility, (ii) organic growth and acquisition opportunities with higher potential returns on investment, (iii) EPD’sthe Partnership’s unit market price and implied cash flow yield and (iv) maintaining targeted financial leverage with a debt-to-normalized adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) ratio of approximately 3.5 times. No time limit has been set for completion of the program, and it may be suspended or discontinued at any time.

Common Units Delivered Under DRIP and EUPP
EPDThe Partnership has registration statements on file with the SEC in connection with its distribution reinvestment plan (“DRIP”) and employee unit purchase plan (“EUPP”). In July 2019, EPDthe Partnership announced that, beginning with the quarterly distribution payment paid in August 2019, it would use common units purchased on the open market, rather than issuing new common units, to satisfy its delivery obligations under the DRIP and EUPP.  This election is subject to change in future quarters depending on the partnership’sPartnership’s need for equity capital.  During the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020, a total of 3,379,9715,148,468 common units were purchased on the open market and delivered to participants in connection with the DRIP and EUPP.  Apart from $1.3$1.8 million attributable to the plan discount available to all participants in the EUPP, the funds used to effect these purchases were sourced from the DRIP and EUPP participants.  No other partnershipPartnership funds were used to satisfy these obligations.  We plan to use open market purchases to satisfy DRIP and EUPP reinvestments in connection with the distribution expected to be paid on AugustNovember 12, 2020.

Redeemable Preferred Limited Partner Interests

On September 30, 2020, the Partnership issued and sold an aggregate of 50,000 Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Units in a private placement transaction.  The stated value of each preferred unit is $1,000 per unit.  The total offering price for the preferred units was $50.0 million, of which $32.5 million was received in cash with the remaining $17.5 million funded through the exchange of 1,120,588 of the Partnership’s common units owned by the purchasers.  Cash proceeds from the preferred unit offering include $15.0 million received from a privately held affiliate of EPCO for the purchase of 15,000 preferred units.

Concurrently, the Partnership exchanged all of the 54,807,352 Partnership common units owned directly by OTA for 855,915 of the Partnership’s new preferred units having an equivalent value.  The preferred units held by OTA, like the common units OTA held prior to the exchange, are accounted for as treasury units by the Partnership in consolidation.  The historical cost of the treasury units did not change as a result of the exchange and remains at the $1.30 billion recognized in March 2020 in connection with settlement of the Liquidity Option.

The preferred units represent a new class of limited partner interests authorized under the Partnership’s Seventh Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership dated September 30, 2020 (the “Amended Partnership Agreement”).  As described in the Amended Partnership Agreement, key terms of the preferred units include the following:

With respect to distribution and liquidation rights, the preferred units rank senior to the Partnership’s common units. Preferred units held by persons other than the Partnership, its subsidiaries and its affiliates generally will vote on an as-converted basis with the Partnership’s common units and have certain class voting rights with respect to certain protective matters.

Holders of the preferred units are entitled to receive cumulative quarterly distributions at a rate of 7.25% per annum. The Partnership is prohibited from paying distributions on its common units unless full cumulative distributions on the preferred units are paid or set aside for payment. The Partnership may satisfy its obligation to pay distributions to the preferred unitholders through the issuance, in whole or in part, of additional preferred units (referred to as paid-in kind or “PIK” distributions), with the remainder in cash, subject to certain rights of a holder to elect all cash and other conditions as described in the Amended Partnership Agreement.  The exchange by OTA of its common units for PIK-eligible preferred units enables the Partnership to more effectively manage its consolidated cash balances.

Subject to certain limitations, each preferred unitholder may elect to convert its preferred units on or after September 30, 2025 into a number of the Partnership’s common units equal to (a) the number of preferred units to be converted multiplied by (b) the quotient of (i) $1,000 plus any accrued and unpaid distributions per preferred unit, divided by (ii) 92.5% of the volume-weighted average price of the Partnership’s common units at the time of conversion (as defined in the underlying agreements). In addition, each preferred unitholder may convert its preferred units into common units if EPO’s senior notes cease to have an investment grade rating or a Change of Control (as defined in the Amended Partnership Agreement) occurs, in each case based on the conversion ratio specified in the Amended Partnership Agreement.

The Partnership may elect to redeem the preferred units for cash, in whole or in part, based on a redemption price outlined in the following schedule, plus any accrued and unpaid distributions at the redemption date:

$1,100 per preferred unit from September 30, 2020 through September 29, 2022;
$1,070 per preferred unit from September 30, 2022 through September 29, 2024;
$1,030 per preferred unit from September 30, 2024 through September 29, 2025;
$1,010 per preferred unit from September 30, 2025 through September 29, 2026; and
$1,000 per preferred unit on or after September 30, 2026; however,
if a Change of Control event occurs prior to September 30, 2026, the redemption price is $1,010 per preferred unit.

In connection with a redemption at the Partnership’s election, the Partnership may convert up to 50% of the preferred units being redeemed into common units (and to pay cash with respect to the remainder), with each such preferred unit being converted on the applicable redemption date into a number of common units equal to (i) the then-applicable preferred unit redemption price divided by (ii) 92.5% of the volume-weighted average price of the Partnership’s common units at the time of conversion (as defined in the underlying agreements).

The Partnership has agreed to prepare and file a registration statement that would permit or otherwise facilitate the public resale of any common units resulting from the conversion of the preferred units to common units.

Our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at September 30, 2020 presents the capital accounts of the third-party and related party purchasers of the preferred units as mezzanine equity since the terms of the preferred units allow for cash redemption by the holders in a Change of Control event, without regard to the likelihood of such an event.  The preferred units held by OTA are presented as treasury units in consolidation since their ultimate disposition remains under the control of the Partnership.

(1)Unbilled revenues are transferred to accounts receivable once we have an unconditional right to consideration from the customer.  Deferred revenues are recognized as revenue upon satisfaction of our performance obligation to the customer.
(2)Unbilled revenue represents revenue that has been recognized upon satisfaction of a performance obligation, but cannot be contractually invoiced (or billed) to the customer at the balance sheet date until a future period.  Deferred revenue is recorded when payment is received from a customer prior to our satisfaction of the associated performance obligation.

The increase in unbilled revenue since December 31, 2019 is primarily due to the recognition of deficiency fee revenues on our EFS Midstream System that are not billable to the customer until the end of 2020.

Remaining Performance Obligations

The following table presents estimated fixed future consideration from revenue contracts that contain minimum volume commitments, deficiency and similar fees and the term of the contracts exceeds one year.  These amounts represent the revenues we expect to recognize in future periods from these contracts as of JuneSeptember 30, 2020.

Note 10.  Business Segments and Related Information

Our operations are reported under 4 business segments: (i) NGL Pipelines & Services, (ii) Crude Oil Pipelines & Services, (iii) Natural Gas Pipelines & Services and (iv) Petrochemical & Refined Products Services.

Segment Gross Operating Margin

We evaluate segment performance based on our financial measure of gross operating margin.  Gross operating margin is an important performance measure of the core profitability of our operations and forms the basis of our internal financial reporting.  We believe that investors benefit from having access to the same financial measures that our management uses in evaluating segment results.  Gross operating margin is exclusive of other income and expense transactions, income taxes, the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles and extraordinary charges.  Gross operating margin is presented on a 100% basis before any allocation of earnings to noncontrolling interests. Our calculation of gross operating margin may or may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

The following table presents our measurement of total segment gross operating margin for the periods presented.  The GAAP financial measure most directly comparable to total segment gross operating margin is operating income.

Adjustments to reconcile operating income to total segment gross operating margin
(addition or subtraction indicated by sign):
                                
Depreciation, amortization and accretion expense in operating costs and expenses  494.3   462.8   977.1   913.7   484.2   467.1   1,461.3   1,380.8 
Asset impairment and related charges in operating costs and expenses  11.8   7.0   13.4   11.8   77.0   39.4   90.4   51.2 
Net gains attributable to asset sales in operating costs and expenses  (1.6)  (2.1)  (1.5)  (2.5)  (0.6)  (0.1)  (2.1)  (2.6)
General and administrative costs  57.0   52.5   112.5   104.7   50.3   55.5   162.8   160.2 
Non-refundable payments received from shippers attributable to make-up rights (1)
  13.0   11.3   29.8   13.5   49.3   20.8   79.1   34.3 
Subsequent recognition of revenues attributable to make-up rights (2)  (8.5)  (5.6)  (15.6)  (13.1)  (9.4)  (5.5)  (25.0)  (18.6)
Total segment gross operating margin $2,002.9  $2,086.2  $4,060.1  $4,214.6  $2,033.3  $2,051.4  $6,093.4  $6,266.0 

(1)Since make-up rights entail a future performance obligation by the pipeline to the shipper, these receipts are recorded as deferred revenue for GAAP purposes; however, these receipts are included in gross operating margin in the period of receipt since they are nonrefundable to the shipper.
(2)As deferred revenues attributable to make-up rights are subsequently recognized as revenue under GAAP, gross operating margin must be adjusted to remove such amounts to prevent duplication since the associated non-refundable payments were previously included in gross operating margin.

Gross operating margin by segment is calculated by subtracting segment operating costs and expenses from segment revenues, with both segment totals reflecting the adjustments noted in the preceding table, as applicable, and before the elimination of intercompany transactions.  The following table presents gross operating margin by segment for the periods indicated:

Fluctuations in our product sales revenues and related cost of sales amounts are explained in part by changes in energy commodity prices.  In general, lower energy commodity prices result in a decrease in our revenues attributable to product sales; however, these lower commodity prices also decrease the associated cost of sales as purchase costs are lower.  The same type of correlation would be true in the case of higher energy commodity sales prices and purchase costs.

Note 11.  Income Taxes

The following table presents the components of our consolidated benefit from (provision for) income taxes for the periods indicated (dollars in millions):

  
For the Three Months
Ended September 30,
  
For the Nine Months
Ended September 30,

Other  5.0   0.1   2.5   (0.9)
Benefit from (provision for) income taxes $19.1  $(15.4) $138.6  $(37.4)

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset-and-liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. We recognize the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not of being sustained. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs.  We did not rely on any uncertain tax positions in recording our income tax-related amounts during the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020 and 2019.

OTA Deferred Tax Liability

On March 5, 2020, wethe Partnership settled its obligations under the Liquidity Option Agreement (see Note 8) and indirectly assumed OTA’s deferred tax liability, which reflects theOTA’s outside basis difference of OTA in the 54,807,352 EPD common unitslimited partner interests it received from the Partnership in October 2014.  Upon settlement of the Liquidity Option, the Liquidity Option liability was effectively replaced by the deferred tax liability of OTA calculated in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes.

At March 5, 2020, the Liquidity Option liability amount was $511.9 million.  Since the book value of the Liquidity Option liability exceeded OTA’s estimated deferred tax liability of $439.7 million on that date, we recognized a non-cash benefit in earnings of $72.2 million, which is reflected in the “Benefit from (provision for) income tax” line on our Unaudited Condensed Statement of Consolidated Operations for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020.

The deferred tax liability of OTA is subject  Subsequent to fluctuation due to changes in the market value of the EPD common units it owns relative to its underlying tax basis in the units.  For example, if the market price of EPD common units increases between reporting dates, we expect to recognize deferred income tax expense in connection with an anticipated increase in OTA’s deferred tax liability.   Conversely, if the market price of EPD common units decreases between reporting dates, we expect to recognize a deferred income tax benefit in connection with an anticipated decrease in OTA’s deferred tax liability.  The following table presents changes in OTA’s deferred tax liability since the settlement date of March 5, 2020 to Juneand through September 30, 2020:

Deferred tax liability at March 5, 2020    $439.7 
Impact of change in fair value of units on deferred tax liability:       
   Change in fair value of 54,807,352 EPD common units held by OTA (1) $(301.4)    
   Multiplied by estimated blended federal and state tax rate  22.4%  (67.4)
Other, including interim allocations of taxable income      2.9 
Deferred tax liability at June 30, 2020     $375.2 

(1)The market price of EPD common units declined from $23.67 per unit at March 5, 2020, (settlement date of the Liquidity Option) to $18.17 per unit on June 30, 2020.

As presented in the preceding table, OTA recognized aan additional net, non-cash deferred income tax benefit of $64.585.8 million through June 30, 2020 primarily due to a decrease in the market valueoutside basis difference of its investment in EPDthe Partnership, which in turn was driven by a decline in the market price of Partnership common units since March 5, 2020.  With respect to the second quarter of 2020, OTA recognized deferred income tax expense of $50.5 million primarily due to an increase in the market value of its investment in EPD common units since March 31, 2020.   The market price of EPD common units increased from $14.30 per unit at March 31, 2020 to $18.17 per unit on June 30, 2020.  In total, earnings for the sixthree and nine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020 reflect a$21.3 million and $158.0 million, respectively, of net $136.7 million of deferred income tax benefit attributable to OTA.

On September 30, 2020, OTA exchanged the Partnership common units it owned for non-publicly traded preferred units having a stated value of $1,000 per unit (see Note 8).  As a result and beginning September 30, 2020, OTA’s deferred tax liability no longer fluctuates due to market price changes in the Partnership’s common units. Our subsidiary OTA is a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and the exchange of common units for preferred units did not constitute a taxable transaction for OTA.

(2)The aggregate grant date fair value of phantom unit awards issued during 2020 was $190.3$190.4 million based on a grant date market price of EPD common units ranging from $17.24 to $25.76 per unit.  An estimated annual forfeiture rate of 2.4% was applied to these awards.

Each phantom unit award includes a distribution equivalent right (“DER”), which entitles the participant to nonforfeitable cash payments equal to the product of the number of phantom unit awards outstanding for the participant and the cash distribution per common unit paid by EPD to its common unitholders.  Cash payments made in connection with DERs are charged to partners’ equity when the phantom unit award is expected to result in the issuance of common units; otherwise, such amounts are expensed.

Profits Interest Awards

EPCO currently serves as the general partner for each of four limited partnerships (referred to as the “Employee Partnerships”) that serve as long-term incentive arrangements for key employees of EPCO by providing such employees a profits interest in one or more of the Employee Partnerships.

On September 30, 2020, the partners of two such Employee Partnerships, namely EPD PubCo Unit II L.P. (“PubCo II”) and EPD PrivCo Unit I L.P. (“PrivCo I”), amended their respective limited partnership agreements to provide for the vesting of their Class B limited partner interests on the earlier of (i) February 22, 2023, (ii) the first date on or after September 30, 2020 on which the closing market price of the Partnership’s common units is equal to or greater than $25.41 per unit, (iii) a change of control event, or (iv) dissolution of the applicable Employee Partnership.  As a result of these modifications, PubCo II and PrivCo I will recognize incremental compensation cost of $1.2 million and $0.5 million, respectively, through February 22, 2023.

The profits interest in a fifth Employee Partnership (EPDEPD PubCo Unit I L.P.) fully vested in February 2020 and the partnership was liquidated.  At JuneSeptember 30, 2020, our share of the total unrecognized compensation cost related to the four remaining Employee Partnerships was $18.918.0 million, which we expect to recognize over a weighted-average period of 3.1 years.


Note 14.  Derivative Instruments, Hedging Activities and Fair Value Measurements

In the normal course of our business operations, we are exposed to certain risks, including changes in interest rates and commodity prices.  In order to manage risks associated with assets, liabilities and certain anticipated future transactions, we use derivative instruments such as futures, forward contracts, swaps, options and other instruments with similar characteristics.  Substantially all of our derivatives are used for non-trading activities.

Interest Rate Hedging Activities

We may utilize interest rate swaps, forward-starting swaps, options to enter into forward-starting swaps (“swaptions”), and similar derivative instruments to manage our exposure to changes in interest rates charged on borrowings under certain consolidated debt agreements.  This strategy may be used in controlling our overall cost of capital associated with such borrowings.

Forward-Starting Swaps
The following table summarizes our portfolio of 30-year forward-starting swaps at JuneSeptember 30, 2020, all of which are associated with the expected future issuance of senior notes.

(1)These swaps were entered into during the first quarter of 2020.

In total, the notional amount of forward-starting swaps outstanding at JuneSeptember 30, 2020 was $1.08 billion.  The weighted-average fixed interest rate of these derivative instruments is 1.83%.

In January 2020, we terminated an aggregate $575 million notional amount of forward-starting swaps, which resulted in net cash payments of $33.3 million.  These swaps were unwound in connection with our issuance of Senior Notes BBB due January 2051.

Commodity Hedging Activities

The prices of natural gas, NGLs, crude oil, petrochemicals and refined products are subject to fluctuations in response to changes in supply and demand, market conditions and a variety of additional factors that are beyond our control.  In order to manage such price risks, we enter into commodity derivative instruments such as physical forward contracts, futures contracts, fixed-for-float swaps and basis swaps.

At JuneSeptember 30, 2020, our predominant commodity hedging strategies consisted of (i) hedging anticipated future purchases and sales of commodity products associated with transportation, storage and blending activities, (ii) hedging the fair value of commodity products held in inventory and (iii) hedging natural gas processing margins.  

The following table summarizes our portfolio of commodity derivative instruments outstanding at JuneSeptember 30, 2020 (volume measures as noted):

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


Derivative assets and liabilities recorded on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets are presented on a gross-basis and determined at the individual transaction level.  The tabular presentation above provides a means for comparing the gross amount of derivative assets and liabilities, excluding associated accounts payable and receivable, to the net amount that would likely be receivable or payable under a default scenario based on the existence of rights of offset in the respective derivative agreements.  Any cash collateral paid or received is reflected in these tables, but only to the extent that it represents variation margins.  Any amounts associated with derivative prepayments or initial margins that are not influenced by the derivative asset or liability amounts or those that are determined solely on their volumetric notional amounts are excluded from these tables.

The following tables present the effect of our derivative instruments designated as fair value hedges on our Unaudited Condensed Statements of Consolidated Operations for the periods indicated:

Fair Value Measurements

The following tables set forth, by level within the Level 1, 2 and 3 fair value hierarchy, the carrying values of our financial assets and liabilities at the dates indicated.  These assets and liabilities are measured on a recurring basis and are classified based on the lowest level of input used to estimate their fair value.  Our assessment of the relative significance of such inputs requires judgment.

The values for commodity derivatives are presented before and after the application of Chicago Mercantile Exchange (“CME”) Rule 814, which deems that financial instruments cleared by the CME are settled daily in connection with variation margin payments.  As a result of this exchange rule, CME-related derivatives are considered to have no fair value at the balance sheet date for financial reporting purposes; however, the derivatives remain outstanding and subject to future commodity price fluctuations until they are settled in accordance with their contractual terms.  Derivative transactions cleared on exchanges other than the CME (e.g., the Intercontinental Exchange or ICE) continue to be reported on a gross basis.

Non-cashWe did not have any significant nonrecurring fair value measurements at September 30, 2020 or 2019.

See Note 4 for information regarding other non-cash asset impairment charges for the six months ended June 30, 2020 were $13.4 million compared to $11.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. Charges for 2020 primarily relate to assets retired during the quarter whose operations have ceased.  Impairment charges are a component of “Operating costs and expenses” on our Unaudited Condensed Statements of Consolidated Operations.charges.

Other Fair Value Information

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents (including restricted cash balances), accounts receivable, commercial paper notes and accounts payable approximate their fair values based on their short-term nature.  The estimated total fair value of our fixed-rate debt obligations was $33.03$32.80 billion and $30.37 billion at JuneSeptember 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.  The aggregate carrying value of these debt obligations was $29.65$29.90 billion and $27.15 billion at JuneSeptember 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.  These values are primarily based on quoted market prices for such debt or debt of similar terms and maturities (Level 2) and our credit standing.  Changes in market rates of interest affect the fair value of our fixed-rate debt.  The carrying values of our variable-rate long-term debt obligations approximate their fair values since the associated interest rates are market-based.  We do not have any long-term investments in debt or equity securities recorded at fair value.

WeThe Partnership and Enterprise GP are both separate legal entities apart from each other and apart from EPCO and its other affiliates, with assets and liabilities that are also separate from those of EPCO and its other affiliates.  EPCO and its privately held affiliates depend on the cash distributions they receive from us and other investments to fund their other activities and to meet their debt obligations.  During the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020 and 2019, we paid EPCO and its privately held affiliates cash distributions totaling $605.5$908.2 million and $593.7$893.1 million, respectively.

From time-to-time, EPCO and its privately held affiliates elect to purchase additional common units under EPD’s DRIP and ATM program.  See Note 8 for additional information regarding the DRIP.

We have no employees.  All of our operating functions and general and administrative support services are provided by employees of EPCO pursuant to the ASA or by other service providers.  The following table presents our related party costs and expenses attributable to the ASA with EPCO for the periods indicated:

Our accruals for litigation contingencies were $6.9 million and $0.2 million at JuneSeptember 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, and recorded in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as a component of “Other current liabilities.”  

Energy Transfer Matter
As reported in our 2019 Form 10-K, we prevailed on our appeal on January 31, 2020 when the Supreme Court of Texas unanimously affirmed the opinion of the Dallas Court of Appeals.  On March 6, 2020, the Supreme Court of Texas issued its mandate to the Dallas County Civil District Court, bringing this lawsuit and the resulting appeal to a close.

PDH Litigation
In July 2013, we executed a contract with Foster Wheeler USA Corporation (“Foster Wheeler”) pursuant to which Foster Wheeler was to serve as the general contractor responsible for the engineering, procurement, construction and installation of our initial propane dehydrogenation (“PDH 1”) facility.  In November 2014, Foster Wheeler was acquired by an affiliate of AMEC plc to form Amec Foster Wheeler plc, and Foster Wheeler is now known as Amec Foster Wheeler USA Corporation (“AFW”).  In December 2015, Enterprise and AFW entered into a transition services agreement under which AFW was partially terminated from the PDH 1 project.  In December 2015, Enterprise engaged a second contractor, Optimized Process Designs LLC, to complete the construction and installation of PDH 1.

On September 2, 2016, we terminated AFW for cause and filed a lawsuit in the 151st Judicial Civil District Court of Harris County, Texas against AFW and its parent company, Amec Foster Wheeler plc, asserting claims for breach of contract, breach of warranty, fraudulent inducement, string-along fraud, gross negligence, professional negligence, negligent misrepresentation and attorneys’ fees.  We intend to diligently prosecute these claims and seek all direct, consequential, and exemplary damages to which we may be entitled.

Contractual Obligations

Scheduled Maturities of Debt

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

This quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains various forward-looking statements and information that are based on our beliefs and those of our general partner, as well as assumptions made by us and information currently available to us.  When used in this document, words such as “anticipate,” “project,” “expect,” “plan,” “seek,” “goal,” “estimate,” “forecast,” “intend,” “could,” “should,” “would,” “will,” “believe,” “may,” “potential” and similar expressions and statements regarding our plans and objectives for future operations are intended to identify forward-looking statements.  Although we and our general partner believe that our expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements (including the forward-looking statements/expectations of third parties referenced in this quarterly report) are reasonable, neither we nor our general partner can give any assurances that such expectations will prove to be correct.  Forward-looking statements are subject to a variety of risks, uncertainties and assumptions as described in more detail under Part I, Item 1A of our 2019 Form 10-K and within Part II, Item 1A of this quarterly report.  These risks include recent impacts of the coronavirus disease 2019 (“COVID-19”) and decreases in certain commodity prices resulting from demand weakness and oversupply, which are discussed in Part II, Item 1A “Risk Factors” of this quarterly report, and this Part I, Item 2.  If one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or if underlying assumptions prove incorrect, our actual results may vary materially from those anticipated, estimated, projected or expected.  You should not put undue reliance on any forward-looking statements.  The forward-looking statements in this quarterly report speak only as of the date hereof.  Except as required by federal and state securities laws, we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or any other reason.

Overview of Business

We areThe Partnership is a publicly traded Delaware limited partnership, the common units of which are listed on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the ticker symbol “EPD.”  The Partnership’s preferred units are not publicly traded.  We were formed in April 1998 to own and operate certain natural gas liquids (“NGLs”) related businesses of EPCO and are a leading North American provider of midstream energy services to producers and consumers of natural gas, NGLs, crude oil, petrochemicals and refined products. 

Our integrated midstream energy asset network links producers of natural gas, NGLs and crude oil from some of the largest supply basins in the U.S., Canada and the Gulf of Mexico with domestic consumers and international markets.  Our midstream energy operations currently include: natural gas gathering, treating, processing, transportation and storage; NGL transportation, fractionation, storage, and export and import terminals (including those used to export liquefied petroleum gases, or “LPG,” and ethane); crude oil gathering, transportation, storage, and export and import terminals; petrochemical and refined products transportation, storage, export and import terminals, and related services; and a marine transportation business that operates primarily on the U.S. inland and Intracoastal Waterway systems. Our assets currently include approximately 50,000 miles of pipelines; 260 MMBbls of storage capacity for NGLs, crude oil, petrochemicals and refined products; and 14 Bcf of natural gas storage capacity.   

We conduct substantially all of our business through EPOThe Partnership is owned by its limited partners (preferred and are owned 100% by EPD’s limited partnerscommon unitholders) from an economic perspective.   Enterprise GP, manages our partnership andwhich owns a non-economic general partner interest in us.the Partnership, manages our operations. The Partnership conducts substantially all of its business through EPO.  We, Enterprise GP, EPCO and Dan Duncan LLC are affiliates under the collective common control of the DD LLC Trustees and the EPCO Trustees.  Like many publicly traded partnerships, we have no employees.  All of our management, administrative and operating functions are performed by employees of EPCO pursuant to an administrative services agreement (the “ASA”) or by other service providers.

Our operations are reported under four business segments:  (i) NGL Pipelines & Services, (ii) Crude Oil Pipelines & Services, (iii) Natural Gas Pipelines & Services, and (iv) Petrochemical & Refined Products Services.  Our business segments are generally organized and managed according to the types of services rendered (or technologies employed) and products produced and/or sold.

Each of our business segments benefits from the supporting role of our related marketing activities.  The main purpose of our marketing activities is to support the utilization and expansion of assets across our midstream energy asset network by increasing the volumes handled by such assets, which results in additional fee-based earnings for each business segment.  In performing these support roles, our marketing activities also seek to participate in supply and demand opportunities as a supplemental source of gross operating margin, a non-generally accepted accounting principle (“non-GAAP”) financial measure, for the partnership.  The financial results of our marketing efforts fluctuate due to changes in volumes handled and overall market conditions, which are influenced by current and forward market prices for the products bought and sold.

Current Outlook

As noted previously, this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, including this update to our 2020 Outlook,outlook on business conditions, contains forward-looking statements that are based on our beliefs and those of our general partner, as well as assumptions made by us and information currently available to us, which includes forecast information published by third parties. See “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information” within this Part I, Item 2 and “Risk Factors” in Part II, Item 1A, for additional information.  The following update to our 2020Current Outlook replaces the general outlook provided in our 2019 Form 10-K under Part II, Item 7 and presents our current views on key midstream energy supply and demand fundamentals.fundamentals for the remainder of 2020 and extending, where appropriate, into 2021. The third-party supply and demand forecasts cited in the following analysis,discussion, including our internal forecasts based on such information, remain subject to heightened levels ofsignificant uncertainty because mitigation and reopening efforts related to COVID-19 and the introduction of approved vaccines or proven therapeutics continue to evolve.

The emergence of COVID-19 as a global pandemic in the first quarter of 2020 and the consequences of international COVID-19 containment measures (and the resulting near-term decline in end-user demand for hydrocarbons) have adversely impacted the global economy in general and the energy industry in particular. In addition, disputes between members of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (“OPEC”) and Russia (collectively, the “OPEC+” group) in March and April 2020 over crude oil production levels, resulted in major disruptions to global energy markets. Although the OPEC+ group and other producers subsequently reached agreements to reduce the oversupply of crude oil in the near-term caused by demand destruction attributable to COVID-19, the downturn in the energy industry has negatively impacted us, the producers we work with and our other customers to varying degrees.  As described in our 2019 Form 10-K, changes in the supply of and demand for hydrocarbon products impacts both the volume of products that we sell and the level of services that we provide to customers, which in turn has a direct impact on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.  The global effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, which began in the first quarter of 2020 and include the consequences of international COVID-19 containment measures (e.g., quarantines, travel restrictions, temporary business closures and similar protective actions), reduced near-term demand for hydrocarbon products by record amounts and created a significant oversupply situation.  Also, in the early stages of the pandemic, disputes between members of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (“OPEC”) and Russia (collectively, the “OPEC+” group) over crude oil production levels led to unprecedented volatility in global energy markets and a historic collapse in crude oil prices in April 2020.  Although the OPEC+ group and other producers subsequently reached agreements to gradually reduce the oversupply of crude oil through production cuts, the downturn in the energy industry caused by lower demand and prices negatively impacted us, the producers we work with and our other customers to varying degrees.

Demand Side Observations

The COVID-19 public health emergency resulted in record, near-term decreases in hydrocarbonAcross the globe, downstream demand for petroleum products such as gasoline and jet fuel has recovered from the lows of the second quarter of 2020, but remains depressed due to lockdowns, travel restrictions, quarantines, temporary business closuresthe effects of the pandemic and other measures instituted as early as February 2020 as the virus spread across several continents.  By May 2020, several major economies across the world began to work towards reopeningrefiners have reduced their economies by targeting a balance between containing and eradicating the virus and supporting their economies, versus the initial more complete shut-downs.  The U.S., China, India, much of Europe and parts of Latin America utilization rates in response.  Many countries have begun to ease their COVID-19 containment measures and central banks and governments have instituted significantfiscal measures in an effort to stimulate economic activity. As a result, energyhydrocarbon demand beganhas started to recover, with notable improvements in China, India, Europe and to some extent in the U.S.  Arecover; however, a continuation of this trend remains dependent on successful containment of the disease and its elimination as a widespread threat to public health.  It is encouraging to note that, according to information published by the New York Times on July 22, 2020, researchers around the world are developing more than 160development of approved vaccines against the virus, and 27 vaccines are in human trials.  Although vaccines typically require years of research and testing before being made available to the public, scientists are racing to produce a safe and effective vaccine.  While we are encouraged by efforts to reopen the global economy, the pace and the scope of the reopening is uncertain at this time and may extend well into 2021.

In its JulyOctober 2020 Oil Market Report published on July 10,Short-Term Energy Outlook dated October 6, 2020 (the “July“October 2020 OMR”STEO”), the InternationalU.S. Energy AgencyInformation Administration (“IEA”EIA”) estimatedforecast that global demand for petroleum and related liquids would average 92.8 MMBPD in 2020 and 99.1 MMBPD in 2021.  By contrast, the EIA estimates that global crude oil demand for calendar year 2020 would fall by 7.9 MMBPD before recovering by 5.3 MMBPD in 2021.  Overall, the July 2020 OMR forecasts that crude oil demand will approximate 92.1 MMBPD in 2020 and 97.4 MMBPD in 2021.  In addition, the IEA forecasts crude oil demand will approximate 94.5 MMBPD and 97.0 MMBPD in the third and fourth quarters of 2020, respectively.2019 (pre-pandemic) averaged 101.5 MMBPD.

The destructiondecrease in hydrocarbon demand attributable to COVID-19 resulted inand the resulting oversupply situation caused a severe dropsignificant decrease in crude oil prices.  Prior to the pandemic, crude oil prices for West Texas Intermediate (“WTI”) at Cushing, Oklahoma (as reported by the NYMEX) closed at $61.06 per barrel on December 31, 2019. By March 31, 2020, WTI prices closed at $20.48 per barrel and, notwithstanding the announced OPEC+ production cuts, closed at a record low of a negative $37.63 per barrel on April 20, 2020.  As demand began to recover starting in the second quarter of 2020, WTI prices rebounded from the April lows and closed at $39.27 per barrel on June 30, 2020.  According to the JulyAt September 30, 2020, OMR, futures markets are anticipating a transformation in the oil market from substantial daily surplus in the first half of 2020 to a daily deficit in the second half of 2020.

Downstream demand for hydrocarbon products such as gasoline and jet fuel is expected to remain depressed until the COVID-19 containment measures are substantially lifted and the economy sufficiently improves.  Refiners have reduced their utilization rates in response to lower domestic and international demand.  According to the July 2020 OMR, global refining throughput for 2020 is forecast to fall 6.4 MMBPD to 75.1 MMBPD in 2020 due to reduced demand for transportation fuels and increase by 4.7 MMBPD in 2021.WTI prices closed at $40.22 per barrel.

Production agreementscuts within the OPEC+ group, in the second quarter of 2020, along with market-driven cuts in U.S., Brazilian and Canadian supplies due to lower crude oil prices, continue to provide much-needed support for international energy markets in coping with the declineongoing weakness in hydrocarbon demand attributable to COVID-19.the pandemic.  The OPEC+ group agreedresolved their production dispute by agreeing to reduce their combined crude oil production by 9.7 MMBPD in May and June 2020, 9.6 MMBPD in July 2020, 7.7 MMBPD from August through December 2020 and 5.8 MMBPD from January 2021 to April 2022.

Global supply and demand fundamentals are being continually evaluated by the OPEC+ Joint Ministerial Monitoring Committee and the existing  The OPEC+ agreement is scheduled to be reevaluated in December 2021.  In the meantime, global supply and demand fundamentals are continually evaluated by the OPEC+ Joint Ministerial Monitoring Committee.  The duration of market-driven production cuts by non-OPEC countries such as U.S., Brazil and Canada will depend on market forces, which are based on supply and demand fundamentals.  According to the JulyOctober 2020 OMR,STEO, the record output cuts from OPEC+ and steep declines from other non-OPEC producers resulted inEIA expects global crude oil production for Juneto average 94.6 MMBPD in 2020, falling by 13.7which represents a decline of 6.1 MMBPD when compared to April 2020.  Overall, the IEA states that global oil supply fell2019, and to a nine-year low of 86.9average 98.8 MMBPD in June 2020.  According to the July 2020 OMR, global oil supply is forecast to decline by 7.1 MMBPD on average in 2020 (assuming the OPEC+ production cuts stay in place), and increase by 1.7 MMBPD in 2021.

As a result of the current business environment, most oil producers in North America have reduced their drilling and completion of new wells.  According to a report published by the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas, average breakeven prices in the Permian Basin range from $48 per barrel to $54 per barrel, with breakeven costs in the Eagle Ford Shale averaging $51 per barrel. Baker Hughes reportsreported that the total number of drilling rigs working in the continental U.S. (combined crude oil and natural gas rigs) declined from 805 at December 31, 2019 to 728 at March 31, 2020 and further to 265 at June 30, 2020.  The U.S. Energy Information Administration (“EIA”) indrilling rig count stood at 266 on October 2, 2020.  In its JulyOctober 2020 Short-Term Energy Outlook (“July 2020 STEO” dated July 7, 2020) expectsSTEO, the EIA forecasts that U.S. crude oil production towill average 11.611.5 MMBPD in 2020, which is down 0.6from 12.3 MMBPD fromin 2019. Furthermore, the EIA expects U.S. crude oil production to average 11.1 MMBPD in 2021.   According to the October 2020 STEO, the EIA expects U.S. crude oil production to decline to an average of 11.0 MMBPD in the second quarter of 2021 since near-term drilling and completion activity will not generate enough production to offset declines from existing wells. The EIA expects drilling activity to rise later in 2021, contributing to U.S. crude oil production returning to 11.2 MMBPD in the fourth quarter of 2021.

Enterprise Outlook

Given the combination of the record retrenchment in drilling and completion activities by U.S. producers in 2020, along with steep decline curves in shale basins that result in lower near-term production through mid-2021, and the expected continuing recovery of global hydrocarbon demand following the pandemic, we believe that crude oil prices could begin to increase as early as the second half of 2021.  However, in the interim, we believe the midstream industry will be challenged in its producer-facing businesses and that the challenges and opportunities will be different for each producing basin.

Although the current industry and business outlook remainsoutlooks remain challenging, we believe that our partnership remainsintegrated, diversified and fee-based business model, will enable us to successfully traverse this difficult period. The Partnership and its consolidated operations remain in a strong position, with our financial position to endure through these circumstances. We enterstrength and operational flexibility demonstrated by the second half of 2020 with a solid balance sheet, ample liquidity and good coverage of our cash distribution.following:

At June 30, 2020, we had $7.3 billion of consolidated liquidity, which was comprised of $6.0 billion of available borrowing capacity under EPO’s revolving credit facilities and $1.3billion of unrestricted cash on hand.  Our liquidity is supported by investment grade credit ratings on EPO’s long-term senior unsecured debt of BBB+, Baa1 and BBB+ from Standard & Poor's,
At September 30, 2020, we had $6.03 billion of consolidated liquidity, which was comprised of $5.0 billion of available borrowing capacity under EPO’s revolving credit facilities and $1.03 billion of unrestricted cash on hand.  Our liquidity is supported by investment grade credit ratings on EPO’s long-term senior unsecured debt of BBB+, Baa1 and BBB+ from Standard & Poors, Moody’s and Fitch, respectively.

EPO completed a $3.0 billion senior notes offering in January 2020 that provided funds to repay all of its $1.5 billion of senior note maturities in 2020, amounts then outstanding under its commercial paper program and for general company purposes.  In August 2020, EPO successfully issued $1.0$4.25 billion in principal amount of 3.20% senior notes due February 2052and $250.0 million in principal amount of reopened senior notes due January 2030.  Net proceeds from the issuance of senior notes in August 2020 will be used for general company purposes, including for growth capital investments, and to repay all or partthe first nine months of $750.0 million in principal amount of Senior Notes TT, which mature in February 2021.  2020.  Based on current conditions, we believe that we will have sufficient liquidity and/or access to debt capital markets to fund the remaining principal amount of senior notes maturing inthrough 2021.




Capital spending throughout the domestic energy industry has been significantly reduced to preserve capital during the current downturn.  We are no exception to this trend.  Based on information currently available, we now expect our total
In light of the current downturn in the domestic energy industry, we reevaluated our planned capital investments for 2020 to approximate $2.8 billion to $3.3 billion (originally forecast at $3.4 billion to $4.4 billion), which reflects growth capital investments of $2.5 billion to $3.0 billion and approximately $300 million for sustaining capital expenditures.  In addition, we currently expect our growth capital investments on sanctioned projects for 2021 and 2022 to approximate $2.3 billion and $1.0 billion, respectively.  These amounts do not include capital investments associated with our proposed deepwater offshore crude oil terminal (the Sea Port Oil Terminal or “SPOT”), which remains subject to governmental approvals.  We do not expect to receive governmental approvals for SPOT during 2020.  In addition to reductions made in our capital spending program, we continue to discuss project commitments with customers and joint venture opportunities with strategic partners to optimize our use of available capital. These efforts, which have been slowed in the second quarter of 2020 due to impacts of the pandemic, could further reduce our planned growth capital investments for 2020, 2021 and 2022..  Based on information currently available, we now expect our total capital investments for 2020, net of contributions from joint venture partners, to approximate $3.2 billion (originally forecast in our 2019 Form 10-K at $3.4 billion to $4.4 billion), which reflects growth capital investments of $2.9 billion and approximately $300 million for sustaining capital expenditures.  In addition, we currently expect our growth capital investments in 2021 and 2022 for sanctioned projects to approximate $1.6 billion and $800 million, respectively. These amounts do not include capital investments associated with our proposed deepwater offshore crude oil terminal (the Sea Port Oil Terminal or “SPOT”), which remains subject to governmental approvals.  We do not expect to receive the approvals for SPOT in 2020.

We continue to optimize our assets during this difficult period to provide incremental services to customers and to respond to market opportunities; however, as expected we experienced a reduction in volumes on a number of our assets during the second quarter of 2020 due to reduced upstream drilling activity and lower downstream refinery activity and demand for transportation fuels. Furthermore, we may continue to experience throughput declines in the second half of 2020 on our gathering systems, long-haul liquids and natural gas pipelines and at our terminal, fractionation and other facilities until the pandemic ends and economic activity is fully restored. To the extent that we have firm transportation agreements (e.g., ship-or-pay arrangements) and the shipper/customer has sufficient liquidity to satisfy its contractual commitments, we expect the near-term impacts to be manageable.  Our business is predominately fee-based (approximately 86% of gross operating margin in 2019), with a substantial portion backed by take-or-pay arrangements.  The reduction in upstream production activity and international demand is negatively impacting the export of crude oil and basic petrochemicals from our marine terminals; however, LPG export demand has remained resilient.  As prices for certain NGLs, crude oil and refined products fell precipitously during the second quarter of 2020 due to collapsing demand for refined products as a result of the pandemic, our storage services provided valuable flexibility for our customers. During the second quarter of 2020, we were also able to benefit by using uncontracted storage capacity to capture contango opportunities in NGLs, crude oil and refined products and will continue to see this benefit for the remainder of 2020.
We continue to optimize our assets to provide incremental services to customers and to respond to market opportunities. As prices for certain NGLs, crude oil and refined products fell in 2020 due to collapsing demand for refined products as a result of the pandemic, our storage services provided valuable flexibility for our customers. In addition, our earnings from marketing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 benefited from using uncontracted storage capacity to capture contango opportunities in NGLs, crude oil and refined products.

Across all of our assets, we have contracted with a large number of quality customers in order to achieve customer diversification. In 2019, our top 200 largest customers represented 96% of consolidated revenues.  Based on their respective year-end 2019 debt ratings, 81% of our top 200 customers were either investment grade rated or backed by letters of credit.  Additionally, only 6% of our top 200 customer revenues were attributable to sub-investment grade or non-rated upstream producers. Given the current market environment, the rating agencies have taken numerous rating actions, including downgrades, across the energy industry.  After adjusting for all ratings actions through April 23, 2020, we estimate that 78% of our top 200 customers remain investment grade rated or are backed by letters of credit.


In light of current events, we are closely monitoring the recoverability of our long-lived assets equity method investments, intangible assets and goodwill carrying values for potential impairment. We did not recognize any significantrecognized $77.0 million and $90.4 million of non-cash asset impairment charges during the first sixthree and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively.

Enterprise Co-Loads Export Vessels at Houston Ship Channel Terminals

In July 2020, we completed the simultaneous loading of propane and polymer grade propylene (“PGP”) into separate compartments on a Very Large Gas Carrier at our Enterprise Hydrocarbons Terminal (“EHT”), as well as the simultaneous loading of ethane and ethylene on a vessel at our Morgan’s Point Ethane Export Terminal facility.Marine Terminal.  Both vessels were the first export cargoes of their kind from the U.S.

Enterprise Declares Cash Distribution for Second Quarter of 2020

On July 7, 2020, we announced that the Board declared a quarterly cash distribution to be paid to our limited partners with respect to the second quarter of 2020 of $0.4450 per common unit, or $1.78 per unit on an annualized basis.  The quarterly distribution associated with the second quarter of 2020 is payable on August 12, 2020, to unitholders of record as of the close of business on July 31, 2020.  This distribution represents a 1.1% increase over the distribution declared with respect to the second quarter of 2019.  We paid our limited partners a distribution of $0.4450 per common unit with respect to the first quarter of 2020 on May 12, 2020. In light of current economic conditions, management will evaluate future cash distributions in 2020 on a quarterly basis.  The payment of any quarterly cash distribution is subject to Board approval and management’s evaluation of our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows in connection with such payments.

Enterprise Enters Into Long-Term Sales Agreement in Support of PDH 2 Facility

In June 2020, we announced the execution of a long-term sales agreement with Marubeni Corporation to supply PGP from our second propane dehydrogenation plant (“PDH 2”), which is currently under construction at our Mont Belvieu complex. Marubeni Corporation is a major Japanese integrated trading and investment business conglomerate and the world’s largest olefins trader. PGP is a primary petrochemical that has global demand growth as a feedstock to manufacture consumer, medical and industrial products that improve the daily lives and protect the health of people around the world.

PDH 2 is expected to have the capacity to upgrade 35 MBPD of propane into 1.65 billion pounds per year (equivalent to 25 MBPD) of PGP and begin service in the second quarter of 2023.  Upon completion of PDH 2, our total capacity to produce PGP is expected to be 11 billion pounds per year, representing the largest PGP production complex in the world.

Enterprise Ramps Up Ethylene Exports at its Morgan’s Point Marine Terminal

In June 2020, we announced that the loading capacity of our jointly-owned ethylene export terminal located on the Houston Ship Channel at Morgan’s Point, Texas was exceeding our interim design expectations and that ethylene exports for June would exceed 175 million pounds.  In fact, the marine terminal loaded a record-sized ethylene cargo of 44 million pounds on the Navigator Eclipse.  We expect to complete the construction of an ethylene storage tank at the terminal site by the end of 2020, which should increase the terminal’s total loading capacity to 2.2 billion pounds per year.


The marine terminal volumes are supported by our high-capacity ethylene storage hub and pipeline system, which is connected to four ethylene pipeline systems. We expect to complete three additional connections by the end of 2020, linking the system to a majority of ethylene production capacity in Texas. Our open access ethylene storage hub and pipeline system provides domestic ethylene producers access to both domestic and global markets.

Enterprise Enters Into April 2020 364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement

In April 2020, EPO entered into an additional 364-day revolving credit agreement (the “April 2020 364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement”).  The new agreement provides EPO with an incremental $1.0 billion of borrowing capacity, thereby increasing its overall borrowing capacity under its revolving credit agreements to $6.0 billion.  The April 2020 364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement enhances our financial flexibility during the economic downturn caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.  Under the terms of the April 2020 364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement, EPO may borrow up to $1.0 billion at a variable interest rate for a term of 364 days, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein.  EPO may use proceeds from borrowings under the April 2020 364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions and other company purposes.

Settlement of Liquidity Option

On February 25, 2020, the Partnership received notice from Marquard & Bahls AG (“M&B”) of its election to exercise its rights (the “Liquidity Option”) under the Liquidity Option Agreement among EPD, OTA Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation previously named Oiltanking Holding Americas, Inc. (“OTA”) and M&B dated October 1, 2014 (the “Liquidity Option Agreement”).  On March 5, 2020, we settled our obligations under the Liquidity Option Agreement by issuing 54,807,352 new EPD common units to Skyline North Americas, Inc. (“Skyline,” an affiliate of M&B) in exchange for the capital stock of OTA.  Upon settlement of the Liquidity Option, we indirectly acquired the 54,807,352 EPD common units owned by OTA (which were issued to OTA in October 2014) and assumed all future income tax obligations of OTA, including its deferred tax liability.  At March 5, 2020, OTA’s assets and liabilities consisted primarily of the EPD common units it owned and the related deferred tax liability, respectively.

At March 5, 2020, our accrual for the Liquidity Option liability was $511.9 million.  The Liquidity Option liability, at any measurement date, represents the present value of estimated federal and state income taxes that we believe a market participant would incur due to ownership of OTA, including its deferred income tax liabilities.  OTA’s deferred tax liability at March 5, 2020 was $439.7 million.  The market value of the new EPD common units issued to Skyline was $1.30 billion based on a closing price of $23.67 per unit on March 5, 2020.

The 54,807,352 new EPD common units issued to Skyline upon settlement of the Liquidity Option constitute “restricted securities” in the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and may not be resold except pursuant to an effective registration statement or an available exemption under the Securities Act.  In connection with the settlement of the Liquidity Option, Enterprise entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with Skyline. Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, Skyline has the right to request that we prepare and file a registration statement to permit and otherwise facilitate the public resale of all or a portion of such EPD common units that Skyline and its affiliates then own. Our obligation to Skyline to effect such transactions is limited to five registration statements and underwritten offerings.  In May 2020, we filed a registration statement on behalf of Skyline for the resale of up to 54,807,352 EPD common units. This registration statement is effective and, in June 2020, we filed a prospectus supplement to this registration statement that allows Skyline to sell up to $500 million of the EPD common units it owns in connection with an “at-the-market” program that it administers.   We will not receive any proceeds from such offerings.

As a result of the Liquidity Option settlement, the partners’ equity balance for common units (as presented on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet) increased by the $1.30 billion market value of the new EPD common units issued to Skyline.  Since OTA does not meet the definition of a business as described in ASC 805, Business Combinations, the acquisition of OTA was accounted for as the purchase of treasury units and assumption of the related deferred tax liability.  In consolidation, we present the 54,807,352 EPD common units owned by OTA as treasury units, with their historical cost based on the $1.30 billion market value of the 54,807,352 new EPD common units issued to Skyline.

For information regarding the impact of the settlement on our earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2020, see “Income Statement Highlights – Income Taxes” within this Item 2.

(4)The “Indicative Gas Processing Gross Spread” represents a generic estimate of the gross economic benefit from extracting NGLs from natural gas production based on certain pricing assumptions.  Specifically, it is the amount by which the assumed economic value of a composite gallon of NGLs at Mont Belvieu, Texas exceeds the value of the equivalent amount of energy in natural gas at Henry Hub, Louisiana (as presented in the table above). The indicative spread does not consider the operating costs incurred by a natural gas processing facility to extract the NGLs nor the transportation and fractionation costs to deliver the NGLs to market.   In addition, the actual gas processing spread earned at each plant is determined by regional pricing and extraction dynamics.   As presented in the table above, the indicative spread assumes that a gallon of NGLs is comprised of 47% ethane, 28% propane, 9% normal butane, 6% isobutane and 10% natural gasoline.  The value of an equivalent amount of energy in natural gas to one gallon of NGLs is assumed to be 8.4% of the price of a MMBtu of natural gas at Henry Hub.

The weighted-average indicative market price for NGLs was $0.310.41 per gallon in the secondthird quarter of 2020 versus $0.47$0.39 per gallon during the secondthird quarter of 2019.  Likewise, the weighted-average indicative market price for NGLs was $0.330.36 per gallon during the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020 compared to $0.52$0.48 per gallon during the same period in 2019.

The decline in commodity prices since the beginning of 2020 is attributable to the ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and, with respect to crude oil, the recent oil priceproduction dispute between Saudi Arabia and Russia.  See “Update on 2020Current Outlook” within this Part I, Item 2 for information regarding these events.

Fluctuations in our consolidated revenues and cost of sales amounts are explained in large part by changes in energy commodity prices.  A decrease in our consolidated marketing revenues due to lower energy commodity sales prices may not result in a decrease in gross operating margin or cash available for distribution, since our consolidated cost of sales amounts would also decrease due to comparable decreases in the purchase prices of the underlying energy commodities.  The same type of correlation would be true in the case of higher energy commodity sales prices and purchase costs.

We attempt to mitigate commodity price exposure through our hedging activities and the use of fee-based arrangements.  See Note 14 of the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included under Part I, Item 1 of this quarterly report for information regarding our commodity hedging activities.

AmountAmounts presented for the sixthree and nine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019 includes $9.8reflect an unrealized, mark-to-market loss of $94.9 million recognized in September 2019 in connection with the exercise of swaption premium income.
swaptions.  Due to declining interest rates, the counterparties to the swaptions exercised their right to put us into ten forward-starting swaps on September 30, 2019 having an aggregate notional value of $1.0 billion. Since the swaptions were not designated as hedging instruments and were subject to mark-to-market accounting, we incurred an unrealized, mark-to-market loss at inception of the forward-starting swaps that is reflected as an increase in interest expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019.
(2)We capitalize interest costs incurred on funds used to construct property, plant and equipment while the asset is in its construction phase.  Capitalized interest amounts become part of the historical cost of an asset and are charged to earnings (as a component of depreciation expense) on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset once the asset enters its intended service.  When capitalized interest is recorded, it reduces interest expense from what it would be otherwise.  Capitalized interest amounts fluctuate based on the timing of when projects are placed into service, our capital investment levels and the interest rates charged on borrowings.
(3)Primarily reflects facility commitment fees charged in connection with our revolving credit facilities and amortization of debt issuance costs.

Interest charged on debt principal outstanding, which is a key driver of interest expense, increased a net $26.615.6 million quarter-to-quarter primarily due to increased debt principal amounts outstanding during the secondthird quarter of 2020, which accounted for a $31.022.1 million increase, partially offset by the effect of lower overall interest rates during the secondthird quarter of 2020, which accounted for a $4.46.5 million decrease.  Our weighted-average debt principal balance for the secondthird quarter of 2020 was $29.930.27 billion compared to $27.127.93 billion for the secondthird quarter of 2019.  For the six months ended June 30, 2020, interest charged on debt principal outstanding increased a net $50.6 million period-to-period primarily due to increased debt principal amounts outstanding during the six months ended June 30, 2020, which accounted for a $62.2 million increase, partially offset by the effect of lower overall interest rates during the six months ended June 30, 2020, which accounted for an $11.6 million decrease.  Our weighted-average debt principal balance for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was $29.61 billion compared to $26.9 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2019.  In general, our debt principal balances have increased over time due to the partial debt financing of our capital investments.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, interest charged on debt principal outstanding increased a net $66.2 million period-to-period primarily due to increased debt principal amounts outstanding during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, which accounted for an $84.2 million increase, partially offset by the effect of lower overall interest rates during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, which accounted for an $18.0 million decrease.  Our weighted-average debt principal balance for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was $29.84 billion compared to $27.29 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

For additional information regarding our debt obligations, see Note 7 of the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included under Part I, Item 1 of this quarterly report.   For a discussion of our capital projects, see “Capital Investments” within this Part I, Item 2.


Change in fair value of Liquidity Option

On February 25, 2020, the Partnership received notice from Marquard & Bahls AG (“M&B”) of M&B’s election to exercise its rights (the “Liquidity Option”) under the Liquidity Option Agreement among the Partnership, OTA Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation previously named Oiltanking Holding Americas, Inc. (“OTA”), and M&B dated October 1, 2014 (the “Liquidity Option Agreement”).  The Partnership settled its obligations under the Liquidity Option Agreement on March 5, 2020.

For the period in which the Liquidity Option was outstanding, we recognized non-cash expense in connection with accretion and changes in management estimates that affected the valuation of the Liquidity Option liability.  As discussed in the following section, Income taxes, our obligations under the Liquidity Option Agreement were settled on March 5, 2020.



Expense amounts attributable to changes in the fair value of the Liquidity Option were $26.6$38.7 million and $84.4$123.1 million during the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019, respectively.  Expense of $2.3 million for the first quarter of 2020 primarily reflects accretion expense for the period in which the Liquidity Option liability was outstanding before it was settled on March 5, 2020.  The higher level of expense recognized in the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019 was primarily due to a decrease in the discount factor used in determining the present value of the liability.

On March 5, 2020, wethe Partnership settled its obligations under the Liquidity Option (see “Other Recent Developments” within this Item 2)Agreement and indirectly assumed OTA’sthe deferred tax liability of OTA, which reflects theOTA’s outside basis difference of OTA in the 54,807,352 EPD common unitslimited partner interests it owns.received from the Partnership in October 2014. Upon settlement of the Liquidity Option, the Liquidity Option liability was effectively replaced by the deferred tax liability of OTA calculated in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes.

At March 5, 2020, the Liquidity Option liability amount was $511.9 million.  Since the book value of the Liquidity Option liability exceeded OTA’s estimated deferred tax liability of $439.7 million on that date, we recognized a non-cash benefit in earnings of $72.2 million, which is reflected in the “Benefit from (provision for) income taxes”tax” line on our Unaudited Condensed Statement of Consolidated Operations for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020.

The deferred tax liability of OTA is subject  Subsequent to fluctuation due to changes in the market value of the EPD common units it owns relative to its underlying tax basis in the units.  With respect to the second quarter ofMarch 5, 2020 and through September 30, 2020, OTA recognized deferred income tax expense of $50.5 million primarily due to an increase in the market value of its investment in EPD common units since March 31, 2020.  At June 30, 2020, the deferred tax liability of OTA was $375.2 million.  OTA recognized aadditional net, non-cash deferred income tax benefit of $64.5$85.8 million through June 30, 2020 primarily due to a decrease in the market valueoutside basis difference of its investment in EPDthe Partnership, which in turn was driven by a decline in the market price of Partnership common units since March 5, 2020.  In total, earnings for the sixthree and nine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020 reflect a$21.3 million and $158.0 million, respectively, of net $136.7 million of deferred income tax benefit attributable to OTA.

On September 30, 2020, OTA exchanged the Partnership common units it owned for non-publicly traded preferred units having a stated value of $1,000 per unit.  As a result and beginning September 30, 2020, OTA’s deferred tax liability no longer fluctuates due to market price changes in the Partnership’s common units.  For information regarding the issuance of preferred units on September 30, 2020, including the OTA-related exchange, see “Liquidity and Capital Resources” within this Part I, Item 2.

For additional information regarding income taxes, see Note 11 of the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included under Part I, Item 1 of this quarterly report.





Business Segment Highlights

We evaluate segment performance based on our financial measure of gross operating margin.  Gross operating margin is an important performance measure of the core profitability of our operations and forms the basis of our internal financial reporting.  We believe that investors benefit from having access to the same financial measures that our management uses in evaluating segment results. 


The following table presents gross operating margin by segment and non-GAAPnon-generally accepted accounting principle (“non-GAAP”) total gross operating margin for the periods indicated (dollars in millions):

(1)Within the context of this table, total segment gross operating margin represents a subtotal and corresponds to measures similarly titled within our business segment disclosures found under Note 10 of the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included under Part I, Item 1 of this quarterly report.

Total gross operating margin includes equity in the earnings of unconsolidated affiliates, but is exclusive of other income and expense transactions, income taxes, the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles and extraordinary charges.  Total gross operating margin is presented on a 100% basis before any allocation of earnings to noncontrolling interests.  Our calculation of gross operating margin may or may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.  Segment gross operating margin for NGL Pipelines & Services and Crude Oil Pipelines & Services reflect adjustments for shipper make-up rights that are included in management’s evaluation of segment results.  However, these adjustments are excluded from non-GAAP total gross operating margin.

The GAAP financial measure most directly comparable to total gross operating margin is operating income.  For a discussion of operating income and its components, see the previous section titled “Income Statement Highlights” within this Part I, Item 2.  The following table presents a reconciliation of operating income to total gross operating margin for the periods indicated (dollars in millions):

Each of our business segments benefits from the supporting role of our marketing activities.  The main purpose of our marketing activities is to support the utilization and expansion of assets across our midstream energy asset network by increasing the volumes handled by such assets, which results in additional fee-based earnings for each business segment.  In performing these support roles, our marketing activities also seek to participate in supply and demand opportunities as a supplemental source of gross operating margin for the partnership.us.  The financial results of our marketing efforts fluctuate due to changes in volumes handled and overall market conditions, which are influenced by current and forward market prices for the products bought and sold.

Our segment results for the second quarter of 2020 reflect the challenging business environment we are currently experiencing due to the COVID-19 pandemic.  A number of our assets were impacted by lower volumes due to reduced drilling activity and downstream refinery activity and demand for transportation fuels.  For a general discussion of the impact of COVID-19 on our partnership and industry, see “Update on 2020 Outlook” within this Item 2.

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and lower energy commodity prices, we experienced a reduction in volumes on a number of our assets (e.g., crude oil pipelines and export docks, natural gas gathering systems) during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 due to reduced upstream drilling and production activity and lower downstream refinery activity and demand for transportation fuels. Furthermore, we may continue to experience throughput declines in the future on our gathering systems, long-haul liquids and natural gas pipelines and at our terminal and other facilities until the pandemic ends and economic activity is fully restored.  For a general discussion of the impact of the pandemic on our partnership and industry, see “Current Outlook” within this Part I, Item 2.

In January 2020, EPO issued $3.0 billion aggregate principal amount of senior notes comprised of (i) $1.0 billion principal amount of 2.80% fixed-rate senior notes due January 2030 (“Senior Notes AAA”), (ii) $1.0 billion principal amount of 3.70% fixed-rate senior notes due January 2051 (“Senior Notes BBB”) and (iii) $1.0 billion principal amount of 3.95% fixed-rate senior notes due January 2060 (“Senior Notes CCC”).   Net proceeds from this offering were used by EPO for the repayment of $500 million principal amount of its Senior Notes Q that matured in January 2020, temporary repayment of amounts outstanding under its commercial paper program and for general company purposes.  In addition, net proceeds from this offering were used by EPO for the repayment of $1.0 billion principal amount of its Senior Notes Y that matured in September 2020.

In August 2020, EPO issued $1.0 billion principal amount of 3.20% fixed-rate senior notes due February 2052(“Senior Notes DDD”) and $250.0 million principal amount of reopened 2.80% fixed-rate Senior Notes AAA.  We received aggregate net proceeds of $1.25 billion from the sale of the notes after deducting underwriting discounts and other estimated offering expenses payable by us.  aggregateNet proceeds from the issuance of these senior notes will be used for general company purposes, including for growth capital investments, and to repay all or part of $750.0 million in principal amount of senior notesSenior Notes TT, which mature in August 2020.  February 2021.

In addition,September 2020, EPO entered into its April 2020a new 364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement which provides EPO with an incremental $1.0 billion of borrowing capacity.  At June 30, 2020, there were no principal amounts outstanding under the April 2020 364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement.

EPO’sthat replaced its September 2019 364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement.  The new 364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement is scheduled to maturematures in September 2020.  As a result, EPO expects to renew this credit agreement during the third quarter of 2020.  At June 30, 2020, there were2021. There was no principal amountsamount outstanding under the September 2019 364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement when it expired and was replaced by the September 2020 364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement.  In addition, following execution of the September 2020 364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement, EPO terminated its April 2020 364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement on September 11, 2020.

For additional information regarding our consolidated debt agreements,obligations, see Note 7 of the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included under Part I, Item 1 of this quarterly report.

Common Unit Buyback Program

In January 2020, management announced its intention to use approximately 2.0% of net cash flow provided by operating activities, or cash flow from operations (“CFFO”), in 2020 to repurchase EPD common units under the Buyback Program approved in January 2019 (the “2019 Buyback Program”).  EPD repurchased 6,357,739 common units under its 2019 Buyback Program through open market purchases in the six months ended June 30, 2020.  The total purchase price of these repurchases (including commissions and fees) was $140.1million, and represented 2.1% of our consolidated CFFO for the twelve months ended June 30, 2020. The repurchased units were cancelled immediately upon acquisition. As of June 30, 2020, the remaining available capacity under the 2019 Buyback Program was $1.78 billion.

In addition to the 2019 Buyback Program, privately held affiliates of EPCO acquired 1,459,000 of EPD’s common units on the open market during the six months ended June 30, 2020.  In the aggregate, 7,816,739common units were purchased on the open market during the six months ended June 30, 2020 under the 2019 Buyback Program and by privately held affiliates of EPCO.

Credit Ratings

As of August 10,November 6, 2020, the investment-grade credit ratings of EPO’s long-term senior unsecured debt securities were BBB+ from Standard and Poor’s, Baa1 from Moody’s and BBB+ from Fitch Ratings.  In addition, the credit ratings of EPO’s short-term senior unsecured debt securities were A-2 from Standard and Poor’s, P-2 from Moody’s and F-2 from Fitch Ratings.  EPO’s credit ratings reflect only the view of a rating agency and should not be interpreted as a recommendation to buy, sell or hold any of our securities.  A credit rating can be revised upward or downward or withdrawn at any time by a rating agency, if it determines that circumstances warrant such a change.  A credit rating from one rating agency should be evaluated independently of credit ratings from other rating agencies.


Issuance of Common Units

On March 5, 2020, we settled our obligations under the Liquidity Option Agreement. As a result, EPD issued 54,807,352 of its common units to Skyline and indirectly reacquired the 54,807,352 EPD common units owned by OTA. For additional information regarding this transaction, see “Other Recent Developments – Settlement of Liquidity Option” within this Item 2.Unit Repurchases Under 2019 Buyback Program

EPD has registration statements on file with the SEC in connection with its distribution reinvestment plan (“DRIP”) and employee unit purchase plan (“EUPP”). In JulyJanuary 2019, EPDwe announced that beginningthe Board had approved a $2.0 billion multi-year unit buyback program (the “2019 Buyback Program”), which provides the Partnership with the quarterly distribution payment paid in August 2019, it would usean additional method to return capital to investors.  The Partnership repurchased an aggregate 8,342,246 common units purchasedunder the 2019 Buyback Program through open market and private purchases during the nine months ended September 30, 2020.  The total purchase price of these repurchases was $173.8 million including commissions and fees. Units repurchased under the 2019 Buyback Program are immediately cancelled upon acquisition.  As of September 30, 2020, the remaining available capacity under the 2019 Buyback Program was $1.75 billion.

In addition to the 2019 Buyback Program, privately held affiliates of EPCO acquired 1,459,000 of the Partnership’s common units on the open market rather than issuing new common units, to satisfy its delivery obligations underduring the DRIP and EUPP.  This election is subject to change in future quarters depending on the partnership’s need for equity capital. During the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020, a total of2020.  In the aggregate, 3,379,9719,801,246 common units were purchased on the open market during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 under the 2019 Buyback Program and deliveredby privately held affiliates of EPCO.


March 2020 Issuance of Common Units to participantsSkyline North Americas, Inc. and related acquisition of Treasury Units

On March 5, 2020, the Partnership settled its obligations under the Liquidity Option Agreement by issuing 54,807,352 new common units to Skyline North Americas, Inc. in exchange for the capital stock of OTA.  Upon settlement of the Liquidity Option, we indirectly acquired the 54,807,352 Partnership common units owned by OTA (which were issued by the Partnership to OTA in October 2014) and assumed all future income tax obligations of OTA, including its deferred tax liability.  For additional information regarding settlement of the Liquidity Option, see Note 8 of the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included under Part I, Item 1 of this quarterly report.

September 2020 Issuance of Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Units

On September 30, 2020, the Partnership issued and sold an aggregate of 50,000 Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Units in a private placement transaction.  The stated value of each preferred unit is $1,000 per unit.  The total offering price for the preferred units was $50.0 million, of which $32.5 million was received in cash with the remaining $17.5 million funded through the exchange of 1,120,588 of the Partnership’s common units owned by the purchasers.  Cash proceeds from the preferred unit offering include $15.0 million received from a privately held affiliate of EPCO for the purchase of 15,000 preferred units.

Concurrently, the Partnership exchanged all of the 54,807,352 Partnership common units owned directly by OTA for 855,915 of the Partnership’s new preferred units having an equivalent value.  The preferred units held by OTA, like the common units OTA held prior to the exchange, are accounted for as treasury units by the Partnership in consolidation.  The historical cost of the treasury units did not change as a result of the exchange and remains at the $1.3 billion recognized in March 2020 in connection with settlement of the DRIP and EUPP.  Apart from $1.3 million attributable to the plan discount available to all participants in the EUPP, the funds used to effect these purchases were sourced from the DRIP and EUPP participants.  No other partnership funds were used to satisfy these obligations.  We plan to use open market purchases to satisfy DRIP and EUPP reinvestments in connection with the distribution expected to be paid on August 12, 2020.Liquidity Option.

EPD issued and delivered a combined 2,897,990 commonFor additional information regarding the preferred units, insee Note 8 of the six months ended June 30, 2019 in connection with the DRIP and EUPP, which generated net cash proceeds totaling $82.2 million.Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included under Part I, Item 1 of this quarterly report.

Cash Flow Statement Highlights

The following table summarizes our consolidated cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities for the periods indicated (dollars in millions).  For additional information regarding our cash flow amounts, please refer to the Unaudited Condensed Statements of Consolidated Cash Flows included under Part I, Item 1 of this quarterly report.

 
For the Six Months
Ended June 30,
  
For the Nine Months
Ended September 30,
 
 2020  2019  2020  2019 
Net cash flows provided by operating activities $3,193.8  $3,183.7  $4,291.6  $4,826.2 
Cash used in investing activities  1,930.5   2,286.5   2,564.2   3,372.8 
Cash used in financing activities  236.7   1,200.0   1,006.3   655.7 

Net cash flows provided by operating activities are largely dependent on earnings from our consolidated business activities. Changes in energy commodity prices may impact the demand for natural gas, NGLs, crude oil, petrochemical and refined products, which could impact sales of our products and the demand for our midstream services. Changes in demand for our products and services may be caused by other factors, including prevailing economic conditions, reduced demand by consumers for the end products made with hydrocarbon products, increased competition, public health emergencies, adverse weather conditions and government regulations affecting prices and production levels.  We may also incur credit and price risk to the extent customers do not fulfill their contractual obligations to us in connection with our marketing activities and long-term take-or-pay agreements. For a more complete discussion of these and other risk factors pertinent to our business, see Part I, Item 1A of the 2019 Form 10-K and Part II, Item 1A of this quarterly report.





The following information highlights significant period-to-period fluctuations in our consolidated cash flow amounts:

Operating activities
Net cash flows provided by operating activities for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020 increased a netdecreased $10.1534.6 million when compared to the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019 primarily due to:

a $243.0283.0 million period-to-period increasedecrease primarily due to higher levels of working capital employed in our marketing activities, which accounted for a $1.3 billion decrease, partially offset by the timing of cash receipts and payments related to operations; partially offset by

a $199.4157.8 million period-to-period decrease resulting from lower partnership earnings in the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020 when compared to the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019 (determined by adjusting our $81.141.9 million period-to-period decrease in net income for changes in the non-cash items identified on our Unaudited Condensed Statements of Consolidated Cash Flows); and

Financing activities
Cash used in financing activities for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020 decreasedincreased a net $963.3350.6 million when compared to the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019 primarily due to:

a net $1.24 billion$569.6 million period-to-period decrease in cash contributions from noncontrolling interests. In July 2019, an affiliate of Apache Corporation acquired a noncontrolling 33% equity interest in our consolidated subsidiary that owns the Shin Oak NGL Pipeline for $440.7 million.  In addition, cash contributions from noncontrolling interests in connection with our Pascagoula natural gas processing plant and ethylene export facility decreased a combined $95.0 million period-to-period;

a $92.7 million period-to-period increase in net cash inflows attributableused to debt.  During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we issued $3.0 billion aggregate principal amount of senior notes, partially offset by the repayment of $500 million principal amount of senior notes.  During the six months ended June 30,acquire common units under our 2019 we repaid or repurchased $724.2 million principal amount of senior and junior notes.  In addition, net repayments of short term notes under EPO’s commercial paper program were $481.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to net issuances of $1.42 billion during the six months ended June 30, 2019; partially offset byBuyback Program;

a $79.948.5 million period-to-period decreaseincrease in cash contributions from noncontrolling interests. Cash contributions from noncontrolling interestsdistributions paid to common unitholders attributable to increases in connection with the construction of our ethylene export facility decreased $quarterly cash distribution rate per unit; partially offset by42.0 million period-to-period.

Non-GAAP Cash Flow Measures

Distributable Cash Flow
Our partnership agreement requires us to make quarterly distributions to our unitholders of all available cash, after any cash reserves established by Enterprise GP in its sole discretion.  Cash reserves include those for the proper conduct of our business, including those for capital investments, debt service, working capital, operating expenses, common unit repurchases, commitments and contingencies and other amounts.  The retention of cash by the partnership allows us to reinvest in our growth and reduce our future reliance on the equity and debt capital markets.  

We measure available cash by reference to distributable cash flow (“DCF”), which is a non-GAAP cash flow measure.  DCF is an important financial measure for our limited partnerscommon unitholders since it serves as an indicator of our success in providing a cash return on investment.  Specifically, this financial measure indicates to investors whether or not we are generating cash flows at a level that can sustain our declared quarterly cash distributions.  DCF is also a quantitative standard used by the investment community with respect to publicly traded partnerships since the value of a partnership unit is, in part, measured by its yield, which is based on the amount of cash distributions a partnership can pay to a unitholder.  Our management compares the DCF we generate to the cash distributions we expect to pay our partners.common unitholders.  Using this metric, management computes our distribution coverage ratio.   Our calculation of DCF may or may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

Based on the level of available cash each quarter, management proposes a quarterly cash distribution rate to the Board of Enterprise GP, which has sole authority in approving such matters.  Unlike several other master limited partnerships, our general partner has a non-economic ownership interest in us and is not entitled to receive any cash distributions from us based on incentive distribution rights or other equity interests.

Our use of DCF for the limited purposes described above and in this report is not a substitute for net cash flows provided by operating activities, which is the most comparable GAAP measure. For a discussion of net cash flows provided by operating activities, see “Cash Flow Statement Highlights” within this Part I, Item 2.

Free Cash Flow
Free Cash Flow (“FCF”), a non-GAAP financial measure, is a traditional cash flow metric that is widely used by a variety of investors and other participants in the financial community, as opposed to DCF, which is a cash flow measure primarily used by investors and others in evaluating midstream energy companies, including master limited partnerships. In general, FCF is a measure of how much cash flow a business generates during a specified time period after accounting for all capital investments, including expenditures for growth and sustaining capital projects. By comparison, only sustaining capital expenditures are reflected in DCF.

We believe that FCF is important to traditional investors since it reflects the amount of cash available for reducing debt, investing in additional capital projects, paying distributions, common unit repurchases and similar matters.  Since business partners fund certain capital projects of our consolidated subsidiaries, our determination of FCF reflects the amount of cash contributed from and distributed to noncontrolling interests.  Our calculation of FCF may or may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

Our use of FCF for the limited purposes described above and in this report is not a substitute for net cash flows provided by operating activities, which is the most comparable GAAP measure.

FCF fluctuates based on our earnings, the level of investing activities we undertake each period, and the timing of operating cash receipts and payments.  In addition to providing the quarterly amounts presented below, we also provide a calculation of aggregate FCF over the twelve months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020 in order to measure FCF over a longer term. The following table summarizes our calculation of FCF for the periods indicated (dollars in millions):

Capital Investments

As previously discussed, capitalCapital investing activity throughout the domestic energy industry is beinghas been reduced significantly reduced in response to the supply and demand and supply disruptions attributable tocaused by the COVID-19 pandemic and the related oil price shock. We, along with many other midstream energy companies,In light of these adverse macroeconomic conditions, we have reviewedreevaluated our planned capital investments in light of these adverse macroeconomic events.order to maximize available liquidity.

As previously noted and basedBased on information currently available, we now expect our total capital investments for 2020, net of contributions from joint venture partners, to approximate $2.8 billion to $3.3$3.2 billion, which reflects growth capital investments of $2.5 billion to $3.0$2.9 billion and approximately $300 million for sustaining capital expenditures.  Based on sanctioned projects,In addition, we currently expect our growth capital investments forin 2021 and 2022 for sanctioned projects to approximate $2.3$1.6 billion and $1.0 billion,$800 million, respectively. These amounts do not include capital investments associated with SPOT, our proposed deepwater offshore crude oil terminal, which remains subject to governmental approvals.

Our revised forecast of capital investments for 2020 through 2022 is based on announced strategic operating and growth plans (through the filing date of this quarterly report), which are dependent upon our ability to generate the required funds from either operating cash flows or other means, including borrowings under debt agreements, the issuance of additional equity and debt securities, and potential divestitures.  We may revise our forecast of capital investments due to factors beyond our control, such as adverse economic conditions, weather-related issues and changes in supplier prices.  Furthermore, our forecast of capital investments may change due to decisions made by management at a later date, which may include unforeseen acquisition opportunities.

Our success in raising capital, including partnering with other companies to share project costs and risks, continues to be a significant factor in determining how much capital we can invest.  We believe our access to capital resources is sufficient to meet the demands of our current and future growth needs and, although we expect to make the forecast capital investments noted above, we may adjust the timing and amounts of projected expenditures in response to changes in capital market conditions.

We placed a tenth NGL fractionator (“Frac X”) located in Chambers County, TexasX and Frac XI into service in March 2020.2020 and September 2020, respectively. In addition, expansion projects on our Texas Express Pipeline and Front Range Pipeline were placed into commercial service in April 2020. We also placed the Midland-to-ECHO segment of the Midland-to-Webster pipeline into service in October 2020.  We currently have $6.6$3.9 billion of growth capital projects scheduled to be completed by the end of 2023, including the following major projects:

an eleventh NGL fractionator in Chambers County, Texas (“Frac XI,” third quarter of 2020);

components of our Midland-to-ECHO System (third quarter of 2020 into 2021);

expansion of our natural gas pipeline network in northeast Texas in support of our Carthage natural gas processing facilities (fourth quarter of 2020 into 2021);

which includes completion of the Baymark ethylene pipeline in South Texas (fourth quarter of 2020);

expansion of our ethylene export capabilities at Morgan’s Point (fourth quarter of 2020);

expansion and extension of our Acadian Gas System (Gillis Lateral and related projects) (fourth quarter of 2021); and

construction of our PDH 2 facility (secondin the second quarter of 2023).2023.

(3)Sustaining capital expenditures are capital expenditures (as defined by GAAP) resulting from improvements to existing assets.  Such expenditures serve to maintain existing operations but do not generate additional revenues or result in significant cost savings.







Comparison of SixNine Months Ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020 with SixNine Months Ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019

In total, investments in growth capital projects decreased $286.4$632.2 million period-to-period primarily due to the following:

completion of projects at our Mont Belvieu complex, which accounted for a $262.9$510.6 million decrease.  We placeddecrease and included placing into service our iBDH facility (December 2019), Frac X (March 2020) and Frac X into service in December 2019 and March 2020, respectively;XI (September 2020);

completion of the Shin Oak NGL Pipeline (which was completed in(in stages extending through the fourth quarter of 2019), which accounted for a $253.3$316.4 million decrease;

lower investments in natural gas processing facilities and related infrastructure that support Permian Basin production, which accounted for an additional $223.6a $274.5 million decrease. We completed the final phase of our Orla plant in July 2019 and placed our Mentone plant into service in December 2019; and

lower investments in projects attributable to our ethylene business, which accounted for an $83.8a $129.0 million decrease; partially offset by,

higher investments in propylene production, NGL fractionation and related plant assets and infrastructure at our Mont Belvieu complex,PDH 2 facility, which accounted for a combined $251.3$293.7 million increase;

higher investments in crude oil pipelines, including those comprisingexpanding our Midland-to-ECHO System, and related infrastructure that support Permian Basin production, which accounted for an overall $188.9a combined $98.8 million increase; and

higher investments in natural gas pipelines and related infrastructure in support of East Texas and Louisiana production, which accounted for a $71.4$50.9 million increase.

Investments in unconsolidated affiliates decreased $52.6$90.2 million period-to-period primarily due to lower spending on joint venture dock infrastructure at Corpus Christi and other crude oil-related projects, which accounted for a $27.3$46.4 million decrease, and NGL pipeline expansion projects, which accounted for an additional $25.8$38.1 million decrease.

Fluctuations in investments for sustaining capital projects are primarily due to the timing and cost of pipeline integrity and similar projects.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

A discussion of our critical accounting policies and estimates is included in our 2019 Form 10-K.  The following types of estimates, in our opinion, are subjective in nature, require the exercise of professional judgment and involve complex analysis:

depreciation methods and estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment;

measuring recoverability of long-lived assets and equity method investments;

amortization methods and estimated useful lives of qualifying intangible assets;

methods we employ to measure the fair value of goodwill; and

revenue recognition policies and the use of estimates for revenue and expenses.

When used to prepare our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the foregoing types of estimates are based on our current knowledge and understanding of the underlying facts and circumstances.  Such estimates may be revised as a result of changes in the underlying facts and circumstances.  Subsequent changes in these estimates may have a significant impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.



Other Items

Contractual Obligations

We have contractual future product purchase commitments for natural gas, NGLs, crude oil, petrochemicals and refined products.  These commitments represent enforceable and legally binding agreements as of the reporting date.  Our product purchase commitments at JuneSeptember 30, 2020 declined by an estimated $8.63$6.3 billion when compared to those reported in our 2019 Form 10-K primarily due to lower NGL and crude oil prices since December 31, 2019.

The principal amount of our consolidated debt obligations were $29.930.1 billion at JuneSeptember 30, 2020 compared to $27.88 billion at December 31, 2019.  See “Other Recent DevelopmentsLiquidity and Capital Resources – Consolidated Debt” within this Part I, Item 2 for information regarding EPO’s senior notes offering in January 2020 and the related use of proceeds.offerings during 2020.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably expected to have a material current or future effect on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Related Party Transactions

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES
ABOUT MARKET RISK.

General

In the normal course of our business operations, we are exposed to certain risks, including changes in interest rates and commodity prices.  In order to manage risks associated with assets, liabilities and certain anticipated future transactions, we use derivative instruments such as futures, forward contracts, swaps and other instruments with similar characteristics.  Substantially all of our derivatives are used for non-trading activities.

We assess the risk associated with each of our derivative instrument portfolios using a sensitivity analysis model.  This approach measures the change in fair value of the derivative instrument portfolio based on a hypothetical 10% change in the underlying interest rates or quoted market prices on a particular day.  In addition to these variables, the fair value of each portfolio is influenced by changes in the notional amounts of the instruments outstanding and the discount rates used to determine the present values.  The sensitivity analysis approach does not reflect the impact that the same hypothetical price movement would have on the hedged exposures to which they relate.  Therefore, the impact on the fair value of a derivative instrument resulting from a change in interest rates or quoted market prices (as applicable) would normally be offset by a corresponding gain or loss on the hedged debt instrument, inventory value or forecasted transaction assuming:

the derivative instrument functions effectively as a hedge of the underlying risk;

the derivative instrument is not closed out in advance of its expected term; and

the hedged forecasted transaction occurs within the expected time period.

We routinely review the effectiveness of our derivative instrument portfolios in light of current market conditions.  Accordingly, the nature and volume of our derivative instruments may change depending on the specific exposure being managed.

See Note 14 of the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included under Part I, Item 1 of this quarterly report for additional information regarding our derivative instruments and hedging activities.


Commodity Hedging Activities

The prices of natural gas, NGLs, crude oil, petrochemicals and refined products are subject to fluctuations in response to changes in supply and demand, market conditions and a variety of additional factors that are beyond our control.  In order to manage such price risks, we enter into commodity derivative instruments such as physical forward contracts, futures contracts, fixed-for-float swaps and basis swaps.

Sensitivity Analysis

The following tables show the effect of hypothetical price movements on the estimated fair values of our principal commodity derivative instrument portfolios at the dates indicated (dollars in millions).

The fair value information presented in the sensitivity analysis tables excludes the impact of applying Chicago Mercantile Exchange (“CME”) Rule 814, which deems that financial instruments cleared by the CME are settled daily in connection with variation margin payments.  As a result of this exchange rule, CME-related derivatives are considered to have no fair value at the balance sheet date for financial reporting purposes; however, the derivatives remain outstanding and subject to future commodity price fluctuations until they are settled in accordance with their contractual terms. Derivative transactions cleared on exchanges other than the CME (e.g., the Intercontinental Exchange or ICE) continue to be reported on a gross basis.

At September 30, 2020, our commodity hedging strategies exhibited in the stress test values were mainly attributable to contango positions in our NGL, refined products and crude oil marketing portfolios.

The decrease in fair value of our commodity hedging portfolios from September 30, 2020 to October 15, 2020 is primarily due to an increase in the underlying commodity prices.  In general, we expect that any loss on these derivative instruments would be offset by gains recognized at settlement on the physical transactions.


Interest Rate Hedging Activities

We may utilize interest rate swaps, forward-starting swaps, options to enter into forward-starting swaps (“swaptions”), and similar derivative instruments to manage our exposure to changes in interest rates charged on borrowings under certain consolidated debt agreements.  This strategy may be used in controlling our overall cost of capital associated with such borrowings.

Sensitivity Analysis

At JuneSeptember 30, 2020, our interest rate hedging portfolio consisted of forward-starting swaps. Forward-starting swaps hedge the risk of an increase in underlying benchmark interest rates during the period of time between the inception date of the swap agreement and the future date of a debt issuance. Under the terms of the forward-starting swaps, we pay to the counterparties (at the expected settlement dates of the instruments) amounts based on a fixed interest rate applied to a notional amount and receive from the counterparties an amount equal to a variable interest rate (based on LIBOR or an equivalent index rate) on the same notional amount.




With respect to the tabular data below, the portfolio’s estimated economic value at a given date is based on a number of factors, including the number and types of derivatives outstanding at that date, the notional value of the swaps and associated interest rates.  The following table summarizes our portfolio of forward-starting swaps at JuneSeptember 30, 2020 (dollars in millions):

ITEM 4.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, our management carried out an evaluation, with the participation of (i) A. James Teague, Co-Chief Executive Officer of Enterprise GP and (ii) W. Randall Fowler, Co-Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of Enterprise GP, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  Mr. Teague is our co-principal executive officer (together with Mr. Fowler) and Mr. Fowler is our other co-principal executive officer and our principal financial officer.  Based on this evaluation, as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, Messrs. Teague and Fowler concluded:

(i)that our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and financial officers, as appropriate to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosures; and

(ii)that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) during the secondthird quarter of 2020, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting. 



The containment measures enacted by local, state and national governmental authorities in response to COVID-19 have had minimal impact on our internal controls over financial reporting to date.  As a result of prior emergency planning efforts, we had effective processes in place that ensured the continuity of our operations, including our accounting, risk control and information technology functions.

Section 302 and 906 Certifications

The required certifications of Messrs. Teague and Fowler under Sections 302 and 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 are included as exhibits to this quarterly report (see Exhibits 31 and 32 under Part II, Item 6 of this quarterly report).


PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

As part of our normal business activities, we may be named as defendants in litigation and legal proceedings, including those arising from regulatory and environmental matters.  Although we are insured against various risks to the extent we believe it is prudent, there is no assurance that the nature and amount of such insurance will be adequate, in every case, to indemnify us against liabilities arising from future legal proceedings.  We will vigorously defend the partnership in litigation matters.

In July 2020, we received a Proposed Agreed Order from the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality for alleged excess emissions at our Mont Belvieu facility.  The eventual resolution of this matter may result in monetary sanctions in excess of $0.1 million; however, we do not expect such expenditures to be material to our financial statements.

For additional information regarding our litigation matters, see “Litigation” under Note 16 of the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included under Part I, Item 1 of this quarterly report, which subsection is incorporated by reference into this Part II, Item 1.

ITEM 1A.  RISK FACTORS.

An investment in our securities involves certain risks. Security holders and potential investors in our securities should carefully consider the risks described under “Risk Factors” set forth in Part I, Item 1A of our 2019 Form 10-K, in addition to other information in such annual report and this quarterly report (including the additional risk factor set forth below).  The risk factors set forth in our 2019 Form 10-K and as set forth below are important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those contained in any written or oral forward-looking statements made by us or on our behalf.

The impacts from the outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic and certain developments in the global oil markets have had, and may continue to have, material adverse consequences for general economic, financial and business conditions, and could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and liquidity and those of our customers, suppliers and other counterparties.

The emergence of COVID-19 as a global pandemicChanges in the first quartersupply of 2020 and demand for hydrocarbon products impacts both the volume of products that we sell and the level of services that we provide to customers, which in turn has a direct impact on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows. The global effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, including the consequences of international COVID-19 containment measures (and the resulting(e.g., quarantines, travel restrictions, temporary business closures and similar protective actions), reduced near-term decline in end-user demand for hydrocarbons) have adversely impactedhydrocarbon products in 2020 by record amounts causing a significant oversupply situation.  Also, in the global economy in general andearly stages of the energy industry in particular. In addition,pandemic, disputes between members of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (“OPEC”) and Russia (collectively, the “OPEC+” group) in March and April 2020OPEC+ group over crude oil production levels resultedled to unprecedented volatility in major disruptions tothe global energy markets.markets and a historic collapse in crude oil prices.  Although the OPEC+ group and other producers subsequently reached agreements to gradually reduce the oversupply of crude oil in the near-term caused by demand destruction attributable to COVID-19,through production cuts, the downturn in the energy industry hascaused by lower prices and demand negatively impacted us, the producers we work with and our other customers to varying degrees.

The COVID-19 public health emergency resulted in record, near-term decreases in hydrocarbon demand due to lockdowns, travel restrictions, quarantines, temporary business closures and other measures instituted as early as February 2020 asAcross the virus spread across several continents.  By May 2020, several major economies across the world began to work towards reopening their economies by targeting a balance between containing and eradicating the virus and supporting their economies, versus the initial more complete shut-downs.  The U.S., China, India, much of Europe and parts of Latin America globe, many countries have begun to ease their COVID-19 containment measures and central banks and governments have instituted significantfiscal measures in an effort to stimulate economic activity.  As a result, crude oilhydrocarbon demand has begunstarted to recover in certain regions. Arecover; however, a continuation of this trend remains dependent on successful containment of the disease and its elimination as a widespread threat to public health throughthe development of approved vaccines or otherwise.  While we are encouraged by efforts to reopen the global economy, the pace and the scope of the reopening is uncertain at this time and may extend well into 2021.

Responses to the pandemic have affected business operations across the world and led to diminished near-term business and consumer confidence and increasing unemployment.proven therapeutics. Any prolonged period of economic slowdown or recession, or a protracted period of depressed demand or prices for crude oil or other products that we handle, could have significant adverse consequences foron our financial condition and the financial condition of our customers, suppliers and other counterparties, and could diminish our liquidity and negatively affect the volumes of products handled by our pipelines and other facilities.  As noted in this quarterly report, we experienced a reduction in volumes on a number of our assets during the second quarter of 2020 due to reduced upstream drilling activity and lower downstream refinery activity and demand for transportation fuels, and we may continue to experience throughput declines in the second half of 2020 on our gathering systems, long-haul liquids and natural gas pipelines and at our terminal, fractionation and other facilities until the pandemic ends and economic activity is fully restored.

The ultimate extent and mannerimpact of the impact of COVID-19 and responses by our customerspandemic on our business, financial condition, results of operationoperations and liquidity will dependcash flows depends largely on future developments outside our control, including the duration and spread of the outbreak and the related impact on overall economic activity, all of which are uncertain and cannot be predicted with certainty at this time.certainty.  To the extent COVID-19the pandemic adversely affects our business, financial condition, results of operationoperations and liquidity,cash flows, it may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described in Part I, Item 1A of our 2019 Form 10-K as(as those risk factors are amended or supplemented by subsequent reports and documents we file with the SEC after the date of this quarterly report.report).
