MAGELLAN MIDSTREAM PARTNERS, L.P.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.Organization, Description of Business and Basis of Presentation
Organization
Unless indicated otherwise, the terms “our,” “we,” “us” and similar language refer to Magellan Midstream Partners, L.P. together with its subsidiaries. We are a Delaware limited partnership and our limited partner units are traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol “MMP.” Magellan GP, LLC, a wholly-owned Delaware limited liability company, serves as our general partner.
During first quarter 2013, we completed a reorganization of our reporting segments. This reorganization was effected to reflect strategic changes in our businesses, particularly in the area of our crude oil activities, which have had or will have a significant impact on the way we manage our operations. Accordingly, we have updated our segment disclosures for all previous periods included in this report. Our reportable segments offer different products and services and are managed separately because each requires different marketing strategies and business knowledge.

Description of Business

We are principally engaged in the transportation, storage and distribution of refined petroleum products and crude oil.  As of September 30, 2013March 31, 2014, our asset portfolio including the assets of our joint ventures consisted of:

our refined products segment, including almostour 9,1009,500 miles of-mile refined products pipeline system with 4954 connected terminals as well as 27 independent terminals not connected to our pipeline system and our 1,100-mile ammonia pipeline system;

our crude oil segment, comprised of approximately 8001,100 miles of crude oil pipelines and storage facilities with an aggregate leasable storage capacity of approximately 18 million barrels, of which 1512 million barrels;is used for leased storage; and

our marine storage segment, consisting of five marine terminals located along coastal waterways with an aggregate storage capacity of more thanapproximately 2627 million barrels.

Products transported, stored and distributed through our pipelines and terminals include:

refined products, which are the output from refineries and are primarily used as fuels by consumers. Refined products include gasoline, diesel fuel, aviation fuel, kerosene and heating oil.  Collectively, diesel fuel and heating oil are referred to as distillates;

liquefied petroleum gases, or LPGs, which are produced as by-products of the crude oil refining process and in connection with natural gas production. LPGs include butane and propane;

blendstocks, which are blended with refined products to change or enhance their characteristics such as increasing a gasoline's octane or oxygen content. Blendstocks include alkylates, oxygenates and oxygenates;natural gasoline;

heavy oils and feedstocks, which are used as burner fuels or feedstocks for further processing by refineries and petrochemical facilities. Heavy oils and feedstocks include No. 6 fuel oil and vacuum gas oil;

crude oil and condensate, which are used as feedstocks by refineries and petrochemical facilities;

biofuels, such as ethanol and biodiesel, which are increasingly required by government mandates; and

ammonia, which is primarily used as a nitrogen fertilizer.

Except for ammonia, we use the term petroleum products to describe any, or a combination, of the above-noted products.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)



Basis of Presentation
In the opinion of management, our accompanying consolidated financial statements which are unaudited, except for the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 20122013, which is derived from our audited financial statements, include all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly our financial position as of September 30, 2013March 31, 2014, the results of operations

Table of Contents


for the three and ninemonths ended September 30, 2012March 31, 2013 and 20132014 and cash flows for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2012March 31, 2013 and 20132014. The results of operations for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2013March 31, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2013.2014.
Pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the financial statements in this report do not include all of the information and notes normally included with financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. These financial statements 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, 20122013 and the updates to our Annual Report reflecting changes in our reporting segments included in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 29, 2013..


2.Product Sales Revenue
The amounts reported as product sales revenue on our consolidated statements of income include revenue from the physical sale of petroleum products and from mark-to-market adjustments from New York Mercantile Exchange ("NYMEX") contracts. We use NYMEX contracts to hedge against changes in the price of refined products we expect to sell from our business activities where we acquire or produce petroleum products. Some of these NYMEX contracts qualify for hedge accounting treatment and we designate and account for these as either cash flow or fair value hedges. The effective portion of the fair value changes in contracts designated as cash flow hedges are recognized as adjustments to product sales when the hedged product is physically sold. Ineffectiveness in the contracts designated as cash flow hedges is recognized as an adjustment to product sales in the period the ineffectiveness occurs. We account for NYMEX contracts that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment as economic hedges, with the period changes in fair value recognized as product sales, except for those agreements that economically hedge the inventories associated with our pipeline system overages (the period changes in the fair value of these agreements are charged to operating expense). See Note 8 – Derivative Financial Instruments for further disclosures regarding our NYMEX contracts.

3.Segment Disclosures
During the first quarter of 2013, we revised our reporting segments. See Note 1 – Organization, Description of Business and Basis of Presentation for a discussion of this matter.
Our reportable segments are strategic business units that offer different products and services. Our segments are managed separately because each segment requires different marketing strategies and business knowledge. Management evaluates performance based on segment operating margin, which includes revenue from affiliates and external customers, operating

expenses, product purchasessales and earnings of non-controlled entities. Transactions between our business segments are conducted and recorded on the same basis as transactions with third-party entities.
We believe that investors benefit from having access to the same financial measures used by management. Operating margin, which is presented in the following tables, is an important measure used by management to evaluate the economic performance of our core operations. Operating margin is not a generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") measure, but the components of operating margin are computed using amounts that are determined in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of operating margin to operating profit, which is its nearest comparable GAAP financial measure, is included in the tables below. Operating profit includes depreciation and amortization expense and general and administrative ("G&A") expenses that management does not focus onconsider when evaluating the core profitability of our separate operating segments.

2014 Debt Offering

In March 2014, we issued an additional $250.0 million of our 5.15% notes due October 15, 2043 in an underwritten public offering. The notes were issued at 103.1% of par. We used the net proceeds from this offering of approximately $255.1 million, after underwriting discounts and offering expenses of $2.6 million, to repay borrowings outstanding under our revolving credit facility and for general partnership purposes, including expansion capital.

Other Debt

6.45% Notes due 2014. The maturity date of our $250.0 million of 6.45% notes is June 1, 2014. The carrying amount of these notes was recorded as current portion of long-term debt on our consolidated balance sheetsheets as of December 31, 2013 and September 30, 2013March 31, 2014.

Revolving Credit Facility. The total borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facility, which matures in October 2016,November 2018, is $800.0 million1.0 billion. Borrowings under the facility are unsecured and bear interest at LIBOR plus a spread ranging from 0.875%1.0% to 1.75% based on our credit ratings and amounts outstanding under the facility.ratings. Additionally, an unused commitment fee is assessed at a rate from 0.125%0.10% to 0.3%0.28%, depending on our credit ratings. The unused commitment fee was 0.2%0.125% at September 30, 2013March 31, 2014. Borrowings under this facility may be used for general partnership purposes, including capital expenditures. As of September 30, 2013March 31, 2014, there was $98.4 million ofwere no borrowings outstanding under this facility and $5.6 million was obligated for letters of credit. Amounts obligated for letters of credit are not reflected as debt on our consolidated balance sheets, but decrease our borrowing capacity under the facility.

See Note 14 – Subsequent Events for a discussion of debt we issued after September 30, 2013.


8.Derivative Financial Instruments

Interest Rate Derivatives

We periodically enter into interest rate derivatives to economically hedge debt, interest or expected debt issuances, and we have historically designated these derivatives as cash flow or fair value hedges for accounting purposes. Adjustments resulting from discontinued hedges continue to be recognized in accordance with their historic hedging relationships.

In September 2013,first quarter 2014, we entered into $150.0$200.0 million of Treasury lock contractsinterest rate swap agreements to hedge against the risk of variability of future interest payments on a portionan anticipated debt issuance. We accounted for these agreements as cash flow hedges. When we issued the $250.0 million of 5.15% notes due 2043 later in the debtfirst quarter of 2014, we expected to issue in early October 2013. The fair value of these contracts at September 30, 2013 was a liability of less than $0.1 million. These contracts were settled on October 3, 2013the associated interest rate swap agreements for a loss of $0.2 million (see Note 14 – Subsequent Events, for more information about this settlement). We have accounted for these contracts$3.6 million. The loss was recorded to other comprehensive income and will be recognized into earnings as an adjustment to our periodic interest expense accruals over the life of the associated notes. This loss was also reported as net payment on financial derivatives in the financing activities of our consolidated statements of cash flow hedges.flows.

During 2012, we terminated and settled certain interest rate swap agreements and realized a gain of $11.0 million, which was recorded to other comprehensive income. The purpose of these swaps was to hedge against the variability of future interest payments on the refinancing of our debt that matures in 2014. If management were to determine that it was probable this forecasted transaction would not occur, in 2014, the $11.0 million gain we have recorded to other comprehensive income would be reclassified into earnings.

Commodity Derivatives

Hedging Strategies

Our butane blending activities produce gasoline products, and we can reasonably estimate the timing and quantities of sales of these products. We use a combination of forward purchase and sale contracts, NYMEX contracts and butane futures agreements to help manage price changes, which has the effect of locking in most of the product margin realized from our butane blending activities that we choose to hedge.

We account for the forward physical purchase and sale contracts we use in our butane blending and fractionation activities as normal purchases and sales. Forward contracts that qualify for and are elected as normal purchases and sales are accounted for using traditional accrual accounting. As of September 30, 2013March 31, 2014, we had commitments under these forward purchase and sale contracts as follows (in millions):
Market Value BarrelsNotional Value Barrels
Forward purchase contracts$158.8

Forward sale contracts$44.4

We use NYMEX contracts to hedge against changes in the price of petroleum products we expect to sell in future periods. Our NYMEX contracts fall into one of three hedge categories:

Hedge Category Hedge Purpose Accounting Treatment
Qualifies For Hedge Accounting Treatment
    Cash Flow Hedge To hedge the variability in cash flows related to a forecasted transaction. The effective portion of changes in the value of the hedge are recorded to accumulated other comprehensive income/loss and reclassified to earnings when the forecasted transaction occurs. Any ineffectiveness is recognized currently in earnings.
    Fair Value Hedge To hedge against changes in the fair value of a recognized asset or liability. The effective portion of changes in the value of the hedge are recorded as adjustments to the asset or liability being hedged. Any ineffectiveness is recognized currently in earnings.
Does Not Qualify For Hedge Accounting Treatment
    Economic Hedge 
To effectively serve as either a fair value or a cash flow hedge; however, the derivative agreement does not qualify for hedge accounting treatment or is ASCunder Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 815, Derivatives and Hedging.
 Changes in the value of these agreements are recognized currently in earnings.

Period changes in the fair value of NYMEX agreements that are considered economic hedges, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of cash flow hedges that are reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income/loss and any ineffectiveness associated with hedges related to our commodity activities are recognized currently in earnings as adjustments to product sales.

We also use exchange-traded butane futures agreements, which are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes, to hedge against changes in the price of butane we expect to purchase in the future. ChangesPeriod changes in the fair value of these agreements are recognized currently in earnings as adjustments to cost of product purchases.sales.

Additionally, we currently hold petroleum product inventories that we obtained from overages on our pipeline systems. We use NYMEX contracts whichthat are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes to help manage price

9.Commitments and Contingencies

Clean Air Act - Section 185 Liability

Section 185 of the Clean Air Act ("CAA 185") requires states to collect annual fees from major source facilities located in severe or extreme nonattainment ozone areas that did not meet the attainment deadline.  The CAA 185 fees are required annually until the area is redesignated as an attainment area for ozone. The Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") is required to collect the fees if a state does not administer and enforce CAA 185.  The Houston-Galveston region was initially determined to be a severe nonattainment area that did not meet its 2007 attainment deadline and, as such, would be subject to CAA 185. In June 2013, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (“TCEQ”) adopted its “Failure to Attain Rule” to implement the requirements of CAA 185 which will provide for the collection of an annual failure to attain fee for excess emissions but does not require retroactive assessment of Section 185 fees for the annual periods of 2008 through 2011. As a

result, we reduced our accrual and decreased our environmental expense by $10.6 million in the second quarter of 2013 in accordance with the TCEQ's final rule. The total accrual as of September 30, 2013 was $0.7 million.

Environmental Liabilities

Liabilities recognized for estimated environmental costs were $48.338.5 million and $37.537.1 million at December 31, 20122013 and September 30, 2013March 31, 2014, respectively. We have classified environmental liabilities as current or noncurrent based on management’s estimates regarding the timing of actual payments. Management estimates that expenditures associated with these environmental liabilities will be paid over the next 10 years. Environmental expenses recognized as a result of changes in our environmental liabilities are included in operating expenses on our consolidated statements of income. Environmental expenses for the three and ninemonths ended September 30, 2012March 31, 2013 and 2014 were $10.00.7 million and $12.70.3 million, respectively. Environmental expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 were $2.9 million and $(5.8) million, respectively, with the year-to-date amount including the $10.6 million favorable adjustment to the CAA 185 liability noted above.

Environmental Receivables

Receivables from insurance carriers and other third parties related to environmental matters at December 31, 20122013 were $7.94.8 million, of which $2.82.1 million and $5.12.7 million were recorded to other accounts receivable and long-term receivables, respectively, on our consolidated balance sheet. Receivables from insurance carriers and other third parties related to environmental matters at September 30, 2013March 31, 2014 were $4.94.7 million, of which $1.82.1 million and $3.12.6 million were recorded to other accounts receivable and long-term receivables, respectively, on our consolidated balance sheet.

12.Fair Value

Fair Value Methods and Assumptions - Financial Assets and Liabilities

We used the following methods and assumptions in estimating fair value for our financial assets and liabilities:

Cash and cash equivalents. Cash equivalents include money market and mutual fund accounts and commercial paper. The carrying amounts reported on our consolidated balance sheets approximate fair value due to the short-term maturity or variable rates of these instruments.

Energy commodity derivatives deposits. This asset represents short-term deposits we have made associated with our energy commodity derivatives contracts. The carrying amount reported on our consolidated balance sheets approximates fair value as the deposits change daily in relation to the associated contracts and are held in separate accounts.

Energy commodity derivatives contracts. These include NYMEX futures and exchange-traded butane futures agreements related to petroleum products. These contracts are carried at fair value on our consolidated balance sheets and are valued based on quoted prices in active markets. See Note 8 – Derivative Financial Instruments for further disclosures regarding these contracts.

Treasury lock hedge derivative agreements.  These agreements were entered into to protect against the risk of variability in interest payments related to a future debt issuance (see Note 8 – Derivative Financial Instruments for further disclosures regarding these agreements). Fair value was determined based on an assumed exchange, at the end of each period, in an orderly transaction with a market participant in the market in which the financial instrument is traded, adjusted for the effect of counter-party credit risk.  The exchange value was calculated using present value techniques on estimated future cash flows based on forward interest rate curves.

Long-term receivables. These are primarilyinclude lease payments receivable under a direct-financing leasing arrangement and insurance receivables, whose fairreceivables. Fair value was determined by estimating the present value of future cash flows using a risk-free rate of interest derived from U.S. treasurycurrent market rates.

Debt. The fair value of our publicly traded notes was based on the prices of those notes at December 31, 20122013 and September 30, 2013March 31, 2014; however, where recent observable market trades were not available, prices were determined using adjustments to the last traded value for that debt issuance or by adjustments to the prices of similar debt instruments of peer entities that are actively traded. The carrying amount of borrowings, if any, under our revolving credit facility approximates fair value due to the variable rates of that instrument.

Fair Value Measurements - Financial Assets and Liabilities

The following tables summarize the carrying amounts, fair values and recurring fair value measurements recorded or disclosed as of December 31, 20122013 and September 30, 2013March 31, 2014, based on the three levels established by ASC 820-10-50;820; Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures—Overall—DisclosureDisclosures. The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents (classified as Level 1) and energy commodity derivatives deposits approximate fair value because of the short-term nature or variable rates of these instruments; therefore, these items are not presented in the following tables.tables (in thousands).

During second quarter 2013, we reevaluated the market in which our debt securities trade.  Based on that review, we determined that this market no longer included sufficient market activity to qualify as an active market, as defined in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements.  As a result, we transferred the hierarchical reporting level of the fair value measurement of our debt securities from Level 1 to Level 2.  Our policy is to effect transfers between hierarchical reporting levels at the end of the reporting period where it has been determined that a change is required.

ITEM 2.MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Introduction

We are a publicly traded limited partnership principally engaged in the transportation, storage and distribution of refined petroleum products and crude oil. As of September 30, 2013March 31, 2014, our three operating segments included:asset portfolio including the assets of our joint ventures consisted of:
our refined products segment, including almost 9,100 miles ofour 9,500-mile refined products pipeline system with 49 connected54 terminals as well as 27 independent terminals not connected to our pipeline system and our 1,100-mile1,100-mile ammonia pipeline system;

our crude oil segment, comprised of approximately 8001,100 miles of crude oil pipelines and storage facilities with an aggregate leasable storage capacity of approximately 1518 million barrels;barrels, of which 12 million is used for leased storage; and

our marine storage segment, consisting of five marine terminals located along coastal waterways with an aggregate storage capacity of more than 26approximately 27 million barrels.

The following discussion provides an analysis of the results for each of our operating segments, an overview of our liquidity and capital resources and other items related to our partnership. The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with (i) our accompanying interim consolidated financial statements and related notes and (ii) our consolidated financial statements, related notes and management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20122013, and (iii) updates to the information contained in our Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2012 related to the changes made in our reporting segments included in our Current Report on Form 8-K, which we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 29, 2013..

Recent Developments

Executive Officer Changes.Condensate Splitter. Our Senior Vice PresidentIn March 2014, we announced our plans to construct a condensate splitter at our terminal in Corpus Christi, Texas under a fee-based, take-or-pay agreement with a third-party customer. The project also includes construction of more than one million barrels of storage, dock improvements and Chief Financial Officer, John D. Chandler, has announced his resignation from such positions effective March 31, 2014.two additional truck rack bays at our terminal as well as pipeline connectivity between our terminal and our customer's nearby facility. The splitter will be capable of processing 50,000 barrels per day of condensate. We expect the condensate splitter and related infrastructure to cost approximately $250 million and to be operational during the second half of 2016, subject to receipt of necessary permits and authorizations.

2013 Debt Offering.Little Rock Pipeline. In October 2013,May 2014, we issued $300.0announced plans to transport refined products from our Ft. Smith, Arkansas terminal to Little Rock, Arkansas. We have entered into an agreement with a third party to utilize an existing pipeline for a portion of the route, which we will extend to our Ft. Smith terminal and to the Little Rock market with approximately 50 miles of newly-constructed pipeline. We further plan to make enhancements to our pipeline system to accommodate additional volumes. The Little Rock pipeline project is expected to cost approximately $150 million and be operational in early 2016, subject to receipt of 5.15%regulatory and other approvals.

Commercial Paper Program. In April 2014, we initiated a commercial paper program pursuant to which we may issue short-term, unsecured commercial paper notes due October 15, 2043 in an underwritten public offering. The notes were issued forof up to $1.0 billion. Borrowings under the discounted price of 99.56% of par.program are backed by and may not exceed available capacity on our revolving credit facility. We intendexpect to use the net proceeds from this offering of approximately $295.6 million, after underwriting discounts and estimated offering expenses, to repay borrowings outstanding under our revolving credit facility andissuances of the notes for general partnership purposes, which may include capital expenditures.

In September 2013, we entered into $150.0 million of Treasury lock contracts to protect against the risk of variability in a portion of future interest payments associated with the $300.0 million ofpurposes. We currently have no notes discussed above. In October 2013, we settled these Treasury lock contracts and realized a loss of $0.2 million. The loss was recorded to other comprehensive income and will be recognized into earnings as an adjustment to our periodic interest accruals over the next 30 years to coincide with interest payments on the underlying debt.

Longhorn Pipeline Reversal Project. In mid-April 2013, we began deliveries of crude oil from our Longhorn pipeline. During third quarter 2013, Longhorn's crude oil deliveries averaged approximately 100,000 barrels per day. The pipeline has been capable of operating at its full 225,000 barrel-per-day capacity since mid-October and is expected to average approximately 190,000 barrels per day during the fourth quarter. We plan to expand the capacity of the Longhorn pipeline by 50,000 barrels per day to 275,000 barrels per day, all fully committed by long-term contracts. Subject to regulatory approval, we expect to reach the 275,000 barrel-per-day operating capacity by mid-2014. We estimateissued under this expansion project will cost approximately $55 million.

Pipeline Acquisition. In February 2013, we announced an agreement to acquire approximately 800 miles of refined petroleum products pipeline. On July 1, 2013, we closed on a portion of this transaction which includes a 250-mile pipeline that transports refined petroleum products from El Paso, Texas north to Albuquerque, New Mexico and transports products south to the U.S.-Mexico border for delivery within Mexico via a third-party pipeline. This New Mexico pipeline cost $57 million, which we funded with cash on hand. We expect to complete the remainder of this acquisition, which includes approximately 550 miles of common carrier pipeline that distributes refined petroleum products in Colorado, South Dakota and Wyoming in the fourth quarter of 2013 for an adjusted purchase price of $135 million. We expect to fund the remainder of this acquisition primarily with proceeds from our recent debt offering.program.

Cash Distribution. In October 2013,April 2014, the board of directors of our general partner declared a quarterly cash distribution of $0.5575$0.6125 per unit for the period of JulyJanuary 1, 20132014 through September 30, 2013.March 31, 2014. This quarterly cash distribution will be paid on

Results of Operations

We believe that investors benefit from having access to the same financial measures utilized by management. Operating margin, which is presented in the following tables,table, is an important measure used by management to evaluate the economic performance of our core operations. Operating margin is not a generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) measure, but the components of operating margin are computed using amounts that are determined in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of operating margin to operating profit, which is its nearest comparable GAAP financial measure, is included in the following tables.table. Operating profit includes expense items, such as depreciation and amortization expense and general and administrative (“G&A”) expenses, which management does not focus on when evaluating the core profitability of our separate operating segments. Additionally, product margin, which management primarily uses to evaluate the profitability of our commodity-related activities, is provided in these tables.this table. Product margin is a non-GAAP measure; however, its components of product sales and cost of product purchasessales are determined in accordance with GAAP. Our butane blending, fractionation and other commodity-related activities generate significant product revenue. We believe the product margin from these activities, which takes into account the related cost of product purchases,sales, better represents its importance to our results of operations.

Transportation and terminals revenue increased $39.890.3 million resulting from:
an increase in refined products revenue of $12.144.8 million. Excluding the pipeline systems we acquired in the second half of 2013, refined products revenue increased $34.7 million primarily due to revenue from the New Mexico pipeline we acquired on July 1, 2013, which represented approximately one-third of thea 3% increase in transportation volumes and higher weighted average tariff rates on our existing pipeline systemrates. Shipments were higher primarily due to ourincreased demand for gasoline and distillates. The average rate per barrel was impacted by the mid-year 2013 tariff rate increase of 4.6% and deficiency payments during third quarter 2013 from committed volumes that did not ship;more long-haul shipments (which are at a higher rate);
an increase in crude oil revenue of $25.644.7 million primarily due to crude oil deliveries from our Longhorn pipeline, which represented approximately 90%85% of the increase, and additional condensate throughput at our Corpus Christi, Texas terminal.increase. Our Longhorn pipeline began delivering crude oil in mid-April 2013 and averaged approximately 100,000200,000 barrels per day during thirdfirst quarter 2013;2014; and
an increase in marine storage revenue of $2.10.8 million primarily due to new storage placed into service at our Galena Park, Texas terminal since third-quarter 2012, as well as higher throughput fees.early 2013.
Affiliate management fee revenue increased $3.41.5 million due to higher construction management fees we received in third quarter 2013 related to BridgeTex Pipeline Company, LLC ("BridgeTex") and. The construction management fees we received from operating storage tanksreceive are designed to reimburse us for Texas Frontera, LLC ("Texas Frontera"), bothour costs of which began after third quarter 2012.providing services to BridgeTex during its construction.
Operating expenses decreased slightlyincreased by $0.18.4 million resulting from:
an increase in refined products expenses of $1.44.9 million primarily due to $4.3 million of expenses related to the New Mexico pipeline systems we acquired on July 1, 2013in the second half of 2013. Otherwise, higher property taxes, power expenses and less favorablepersonnel costs related to our other pipeline segments were primarily offset by higher product gainsoverages (which reduce operating expenses), partially offset by lower environmental accruals and less asset retirements;;
an increase in crude oil expenses of $0.74.0 million primarily due to costs related to the operation of our Longhorn pipeline in crude oil service in the current period, including higher power expenses, personnel costs and pipeline rental costsfees to access product from third-party origination sources, higher personnel costs, power and integrity spending, partially offset by more favorable product overages (which reduce operating expenses); and
a decrease in marine storage expenses of $2.10.5 million primarily due to lower environmental accruals, partially offset by higher asset integrity costs and property taxes in the current period.
Product sales revenue primarily resulted from our butane blending activities, product gains from our independent terminals and transmix fractionation. We utilize New York Mercantile Exchange (“NYMEX”) contracts to hedge against changes in the price of petroleum products we expect to sell in the future. TheProduct sales revenue also included the period change in the mark-to-market value of these contracts that are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes, the effective portion of the change in value of matured NYMEX contracts that qualified for hedge accounting treatment and any ineffectiveness of NYMEX contracts that qualify for hedge accounting treatment are also included in product sales revenue.treatment. We use butane futures agreements to hedge against changes in the price of butane we expect to purchase in future periods. The period change in the mark-to-market value of these futures agreements, which were not designated as hedges, are included as adjustments to cost of product purchases. Product margin increased $40.2 million primarily due to unrealized gains on NYMEX contracts in the current quarter compared to unrealized NYMEX losses in third quarter 2012, and higher margins from our butane blending activities as a result of higher volumes sold and lower butane costs.sales. See Other Items—Commodity Derivative Agreements—Impact of Commodity Derivatives on Results of Operations below for more information about our NYMEX contracts. Product margin increased $56.8 million primarily attributable to higher margins from our butane blending activities as a result of lower butane costs and higher sales volumes. The increased volume was primarily attributable to selling additional volume carried over from our fourth quarter 2013 blending activities as well as more blending opportunities during first quarter 2014.
Earnings of non-controlled entities increaseddecreased $0.61.6 million primarily due to earnings of Double Eagle Pipeline LLC ("Double Eagle") and Texas Frontera, both of which began operations after third quarter 2012, partially offset by lower earnings of Osage Pipe Line Company, LLC ("Osage") primarily due to a lower weighted-average tariff rate.tariffs and higher depreciation costs.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased $3.61.2 million primarily due to expansion capital projects placed into service since thirdfirst quarter 2012.2013.
G&A expense increased $5.24.8 million primarily due to higher compensation costs resulting from an increase in employee headcount and an increase in the current yeartiming of recognizing our employee bonus accrual, resulting from above-target payout estimates as well as legal costs associated with the pending refined products pipeline acquisition we expect to close in the fourth quarter of 2013.higher equity-based compensation

Transportation and terminals revenue increased $83.2 million resulting from:
an increase in refined products revenue of $34.8 million primarily due to a 5% increase in transportation volumes and higher rates. Gasoline and distillate shipments were higher primarily due to additional volumes on our South Texas pipeline system resulting from increased demand and incentive tariffs put in place to attract volumes, as well as volumes from the New Mexico pipeline we acquired on July 1, 2013, which contributed approximately 10% of the increase in transportation revenue. The average rate per barrel increased due to the mid-year 2012 and 2013 tariff rate increases of 8.6% and 4.6%, respectively, partially offset by more South Texas movements, which are at a significantly lower tariff rate than shipments on our other pipeline sections;
an increase in crude oil revenue of $46.3 million primarily due to crude oil deliveries from our Longhorn pipeline, which represented approximately 80% of the increase, and higher utilization and rates on our Houston-area crude oil distribution system. Our Longhorn pipeline began delivering crude oil in 2013 and averaged approximately 95,000 barrels per day since its mid-April start date. We also benefited from additional condensate throughput at our Corpus Christi terminal; and
an increase in marine storage revenue of $2.1 million primarily due to new storage placed into service at our Galena Park, Texas terminal since late 2012 and higher throughput fees.
Affiliate management fee revenue increased $10.0 million due to construction management fees we received in 2013 related to BridgeTex and management fees we received from operating storage tanks for Texas Frontera, both of which began after the third quarter of 2012.
Operating expenses decreased $8.3 million resulting from:
a decrease in refined products expenses of $9.2 million primarily due to higher product overages (which reduce operating expenses), favorable gains on asset sales and lower losses on asset retirements, the 2013 favorable adjustment of an accrual for air emission fees at our East Houston terminal (see Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Note 9—Commitments and Contingencies for more information regarding the adjustment of this accrual) and lower environmental accruals, partially offset by higher compensation, power costs and property taxes, as well as expenses related to the New Mexico pipeline we acquired on July 1, 2013. The higher compensation costs were due to increased employee headcount and higher bonus accruals. The higher power costs primarily reflect the increase in product shipments over 2012 and the higher property taxes are the result of asset additions over the past year;
an increase in crude oil expenses of $9.2 million primarily due to costs related to the operation of our Longhorn pipeline in crude oil service in the 2013, including pipeline rental costs to access product from third-party origination sources, higher personnel costs, power and integrity spending, partially offset by more favorable product overages (which reduce operating expenses); and
a decrease in marine storage expenses of $8.1 million primarily due to the 2013 favorable adjustment of an accrual for potential air emission fees at our Galena Park, Texas facility (see Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Note 9—Commitments and Contingencies for more information regarding the adjustment of this accrual) and lower environmental accruals, partially offset by insurance reimbursements received in 2012 for historical hurricane-related damage and higher asset integrity costs in 2013.
Product margin increased $40.9 million primarily due to unrealized gains on NYMEX contracts in the current year compared to unrealized NYMEX losses in 2012, and higher margins from our butane blending activities mainly as a result of lower butane costs. See Other Items—Commodity Derivative Agreements—Impact of Commodity Derivatives on Results of Operations below for more information about our NYMEX contracts.
Earnings of non-controlled entities increased $0.3 million primarily due to earnings of Double Eagle and Texas Frontera, both of which began operations after third quarter 2012, partially offset by lower earnings of Osage.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased $11.1 million primarily due to increased amortization of intangible assets and expansion capital projects placed into service since 2012.
G&A expense increased $19.4 million primarily due to higher compensation costs resulting from an increase in employee headcount and an increase in the current year bonus accrual resulting from above-target payout estimates, legal costs related to potential projects and the pending acquisition we expect to close in the fourth quarter of 2013, and higher equity-based compensation costs and deferred board of director compensation expense primarily due to a higher price for our limited partner units.units and higher prospecting and legal costs primarily related to expansion projects.

Interest expense, net of interest income and interest capitalized, increased $2.4 million. Our average outstanding debt increased from $2.4 billion in first quarter 2013 to $2.8 billion in first quarter 2014 primarily due to borrowings for expansion capital expenditures, including $300.0 million of 5.15% senior notes issued in October 2013 and $250.0 million of 5.15% senior notes issued in March 2014. Our weighted-average interest rate was unchanged at 5.2%.

Distributable Cash Flow

Distributable cash flow ("DCF") and adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP measures. Management uses this measureDCF as a basis for recommending to our general partner's board of directors the amount of cash distributions to be paid each period. Management also uses DCF (adjusted) as a performance measure in determining equity-based compensation and also to evaluate our ability to generate cash for distribution to our limited partners.compensation. Adjusted EBITDA is an important measure that we and the investment community use to assess the financial results of an entity. We believe that investors benefit from having access to the same financial measures utilized by management for these evaluations. A reconciliation of DCF and adjusted EBITDA for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2012March 31, 2013 and 20132014 to net income, which is its nearest comparable GAAP financial measure, follows (in millions):

Cash Flows and Capital Expenditures
Net cash provided by operating activities was $412.2166.9 million and $521.2270.1 million for the ninethree months ended September 30,March 31, 20122013 and 20132014, respectively. The $109.0103.2 million increase from 20122013 to 20132014 was primarily attributable to:
a $121.4$129.6 million increase in net income, excluding the increase in non-cash depreciationincome; and amortization expense;
a $16.4$31.8 million increase resulting from a $21.5$15.0 million increase in deferred revenue in 2013 versus a $5.1 million increase in deferred revenue in 2012. The increase in 2013 was primarily due to an increase in product-in-transit in our pipeline, an increase related to customers’ transportation deficiencies where the customer has future make-up rights and a deferral of a sale of an asset where the title has not yet passed, but the cash has been received.  The decrease in 2012 was primarily due to a customer deficiency recognized in 2011 due to the make-up period expiring (with no like amount in 2012);
a $15.8 million increase resulting from a $1.0 million increase in accounts payable in 2013 versus a $14.8 million decrease in accounts payable in 2012, primarily due to the timing of invoices paid to vendors and suppliers; and
an $11.5 million increase resulting from an $11.1 million increase in trade accounts receivable and other accounts receivable in 20132014 versus a $22.6$16.8 million increase during 2012,2013, primarily due to timing of payments from our customers.
These increases were partially offset by:
a $24.7$39.7 million decrease resulting from a $13.4$23.0 million increase in inventory in 2014 versus a $16.7 million decrease in inventory in 2013 versus a $38.1 million decrease in inventory in 2012. The decrease in 2012 was primarilyprincipally due to the sale ofincreased inventories from product overages on our Houston-to-El Paso pipeline section linefill working inventory in anticipation of converting that pipeline to crude oil service;system; and
a $15.9 million decrease resulting from an $8.9 million decrease in energy commodity derivatives contracts, net of derivatives deposits in 2013, versus a $7.0 million increase in 2012, primarily due to the impact of changes in commodity prices on our economic hedges and a decrease in the number of NYMEX contracts during 2012;
a $13.0$26.3 million decrease resulting from a $2.3$20.0 million decrease in accrued product purchases in 20132014 versus a $10.7$6.3 million increase in accrued product purchases in 2012,2013, primarily due to the timing of invoices paid to vendors and suppliers; and
a $12.8 million decrease resulting from a $10.8 million decrease in current and noncurrent environmental liabilities in 2013 versus a $2.0 million increase in current and noncurrent environmental liabilities in 2012, primarily due to an adjustment during the current period of an accrual for potential air emission fees at our East Houston terminal and Galena Park facilities (see Environmental below for more information regarding the adjustment of this accrual).

Net cash used by investing activities for the ninethree months ended September 30,March 31, 20122013 and 20132014 was $220.8148.6 million and $577.3202.5 million, respectively. During 2013,2014, we spent $289.770.3 million for capital expenditures, which included $55.514.0 million for maintenance capital and $234.256.3 million for expansion capital. Our expansion capital spending during 2013 was primarily for the Longhorn pipeline reversal project. Also during 2013,2014, we contributed capital of $181.4127.7 million in conjunction with our joint venture capital projects (primarily BridgeTex) which we account for as investments in non-controlled entities. During 2013, we spent $89.9 million for capital expenditures,

which included $14.1 million for maintenance capital and $75.8 million for expansion capital. Also during 2013, we contributed capital of $47.0 million in conjunction with our joint venture capital projects which we account for as investments in non-controlled entities, acquired a 250-mile pipeline business for $57.0 million and spent $22.5 million on an asset acquisition. During 2012, we spent $230.0 million for capital expenditures, which included $47.2 million for maintenance capital and $182.8 million for expansion capital, and contributed capital of $37.5 million in conjunction with our joint venture capital projects.entities.
Net cash usedprovided (used) by financing activities for the ninethree months ended September 30,March 31, 20122013 and 20132014 was $300.5(125.6) million and $258.0103.8 million, respectively. During first quarter 2014, we paid cash distributions of $132.8 million to our unitholders. Additionally, we received net proceeds of $257.7 million from borrowings under notes, which were used to repay borrowings outstanding under our revolving credit facility and for general partnership purposes, including expansion capital. Also, in January 2014, the cumulative amounts of the January 2011 equity-based incentive compensation award grants were settled by issuing 387,216 limited partner units and distributing those units to the long-term incentive plan ("LTIP") participants, resulting in payments of associated tax withholdings of $14.8 million. During the first ninethree months of 2013, we paid cash distributions of $349.1113.3 million to our unitholders and borrowed $98.4 million on our revolving credit facility.unitholders. Also, in January 2013, the cumulative amounts of the January 2010 equity-based incentive compensation award grants were settled by issuing 476,682 limited partner units and distributing those units to the LTIP participants, resulting in payments of associated tax withholdings of $12.3 million. During the first nine months of 2012, we paid cash distributions of $293.8 million to our unitholders. Also, in January 2012, the cumulative amounts of the January 2009 equity-based incentive compensation award grants were settled by issuing 722,766 limited partner units and distributing those units to the participants, resulting in payments of associated tax withholdings of $13.0 million.
The quarterly distribution amount related to our third-quarter 2013first-quarter 2014 financial results (to be paid in fourthsecond quarter 2013)2014) is $0.5575$0.6125 per unit.  If we meet management's targeted distribution growth of 16%20% for 20132014 and the number of outstanding limited partner units remains at 226.7227.1 million, total cash distributions of approximately $494.2$593.8 million will be paid to our unitholders related to 20132014 financial results. Management believes we will have sufficient distributable cash flow to fund these distributions.

Capital Requirements

Our businesses require continual investmentinvestments to maintain, upgrade or enhance existing operations and to ensure compliance with safety and environmental regulations. Capital spending consists primarily of:
Maintenance capital expenditures. These expenditures include costs required to maintain equipment reliability and safety and to address environmental or other regulatory requirements rather than to generate incremental distributable cash flow; and
Expansion capital expenditures. These expenditures are undertaken primarily to generate incremental distributable cash flow and include costs to acquire additional assets to grow our business and to expand or upgrade our existing facilities, which we refer to as organic growth projects. Organic growth projects include capital expenditures that increase storage or throughput volumes or develop pipeline connections to new supply sources.

For the ninethree months ended September 30,March 31, 2012 and 20132014, our maintenance capital spending was $47.214.0 million and $55.5 million, respectively.. For 2013,2014, we expect to incurspend approximately $77.0 million on maintenance capital.

In addition to maintenance capital expenditures, forwe also incur expansion capital expenditures at our existing businesses of approximately $75.0 million.

facilities and to acquire new assets. During the first ninethree months of 20132014, we spent $234.256.3 million for organic growth capital and $181.4127.7 million for capital projects in conjunction with our joint ventures. Additionally, we spent $79.5 million on acquisitions. Based on the progress of expansion projects already underway, including the reversal and conversionexpansion of our Longhorn pipeline from refined products to crude oil servicepipeline, construction of a condensate splitter at Corpus Christi and our investment in the BridgeTex pipeline, we expect to spend approximately $925$700.0 million for expansion capital during 2013, which includes $192 million for the New Mexico pipeline we acquired on July 1, 2013 and the pending acquisition of the Rocky Mountain pipeline,2014, with an additional $400$325.0 million in 20142015 and $75.0 million in 2016 to complete our current projects.

The revolving credit facility and notes detailed in the table above are senior indebtedness.

The face value of our debt at December 31, 20122013 and September 30, 2013March 31, 2014 was $2.42.7 billion. and $2.9 billion, respectively. The difference between the face value and carrying value of the debt outstanding is the unamortized portion of various fair value hedges and the unamortized discounts and premiums on debt issuances. Realized gains and losses on fair value hedges and note discounts and premiums are being amortized or accreted to the applicable notes over the respective lives of those notes.

2014 Debt Offering.In March 2014, we issued an additional $250.0 million of our 5.15% notes due October 15, 2043 in an underwritten public offering. The notes were issued at 103.1% of par. We used the net proceeds from this offering of approximately $255.1 million, after underwriting discounts and offering expenses of $2.6 million, to repay borrowings outstanding under our revolving credit facility and for general partnership purposes, including expansion capital.

6.45% Notes due 2014. The maturity date of our $250.0 million of 6.45% notes is June 1, 2014. The carrying amount of these notes was recorded as current portion of long-term debt on our consolidated balance sheetsheets as of December 31, 2013 and September 30, 2013March 31, 2014. We anticipate refinancingusing cash on hand and borrowings against our commercial paper program (see Commercial Paper Program below) to repay this debt prior to its maturity in June 2014.when it matures.

Revolving Credit Facility. The total borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facility, which matures in October 2016,November 2018, is $800.0 million1.0 billion. Borrowings under the facility are unsecured and bear interest at LIBOR plus a spread ranging from 0.875%1.0% to 1.75% based on our credit ratings and amounts outstanding under the facility.ratings. Additionally, an unused commitment fee is assessed at a rate from 0.125%0.10% to 0.3%0.28%, depending on our credit ratings. The unused commitment fee was 0.2%0.125% at September 30, 2013March 31, 2014. Borrowings under this facility may be used for general partnership purposes, including capital expenditures. As of September 30, 2013March 31, 2014, there was $98.4 millionwere no borrowings outstanding under this facility and $5.6 million was obligated for letters of credit. Amounts obligated for letters of credit are not reflected as debt on our consolidated balance sheets, but decrease our borrowing capacity under the facility.

Commercial Paper Program. In April 2014, we initiated a commercial paper program pursuant to which we may issue short-term, unsecured commercial paper notes of up to $1.0 billion. Borrowings under the program are backed by and may not exceed the available capacity on our revolving credit facility. We expect to use the net proceeds of issuances of the notes for general partnership purposes. We currently have no notes issued under this program.

Interest Rate Derivatives. In September 2013,first quarter 2014, we entered into $150.0$200.0 million of Treasury lock contractsinterest rate swap agreements to hedge against the risk of variability of future interest payments on a portionan anticipated debt issuance. We accounted for these agreements as cash flow hedges. When we issued the $250.0 million of 5.15% notes due 2043 later in the debtfirst quarter of 2014, we expected to issue in early October 2013. The fair value of these contracts at September 30, 2013 was a liability of less than $0.1 million. These contracts were settled on October 3, 2013the associated interest rate swap agreements for a loss of $0.2$3.6 million. We have accounted for these contractsThe loss was recorded to other comprehensive income and will be recognized into earnings as cash flow hedges.

This loss was also reported as net payment on financial derivatives in the financing activities of our consolidated statements of cash flows.


Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

None.


Environmental

Our operations are subject to federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations. We have accrued liabilities for estimated costs at our facilities and properties. We record liabilities when environmental costs are probable and can be reasonably estimated. The determination of amounts recorded for environmental liabilities involves significant judgments and assumptions by management. Due to the inherent uncertainties involved in determining environmental liabilities, it is reasonably possible that the actual amounts required to extinguish these liabilities could be materially different from those we have recognized.

Clean Air Act - Section 185 Liability

Section 185 of the Clean Air Act ("CAA 185") requires states to collect annual fees from major source facilities located in severe or extreme nonattainment ozone areas that did not meet the attainment deadline.  The CAA 185 fees are required annually until the area is redesignated as an attainment area for ozone. The Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") is required to collect the fees if a state does not administer and enforce CAA 185.  The Houston-Galveston region was initially determined to be a severe nonattainment area that did not meet its 2007 attainment deadline and, as such, would be subject to CAA 185. In June 2013, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (“TCEQ”) adopted its “Failure to Attain Rule” to implement the requirements of CAA 185 which will provide for the collection of an annual failure to attain fee for excess emissions but does not require retroactive assessment of Section 185 fees for the annual periods of 2008 through 2011. As a result, we reduced our accrual and decreased our environmental expense by $10.6 million in the second quarter of 2013 in accordance with the TCEQ's final rule. The total remaining accrual as of September 30, 2013 is $0.7 million.


Other Items

Commodity Derivative Agreements. Certain of the business activities in which we engage result in our owning various commodities which exposes us to commodity price risk. We use NYMEX contracts and butane futures agreements to help manage this commodity price risk. We use NYMEX contracts to hedge against changes in the price of refined products we expect to sell in future periods. We use and account for those NYMEX contracts that qualify for hedge accounting treatment as either cash flow or fair value hedges, and we use and account for those NYMEX contracts that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment as economic hedges. We use butane futures agreements to economically hedge against changes in the price of butane we expect to purchase in the future as part of our butane blending activity. As of September 30, 2013March 31, 2014, our open derivative contracts were as follows:

Open Derivative Contracts Designated as Hedges

NYMEX contracts covering 0.7 million barrels of crude oil to hedge against future price changes of crude oil linefill and tank bottom inventory. These contracts, which we are accounting for as fair value hedges, mature between October 2013April 2014 and November 2016. Through September 30, 2013March 31, 2014, the cumulative amount of losses from these agreements was $10.29.6 million. The cumulative losses from these fair value hedges were recorded as adjustments to the asset being hedged, and there has been no ineffectiveness recognized for these hedges. As a result, none of these cumulative losses have impacted our consolidated income statement.

Open Derivative Contracts Not Designated as Hedges
NYMEX contracts covering 2.81.6 million barrels of refined products related to our butane blending and fractionation activities. These contracts mature between October 2013April 2014 and April 2014January 2015 and are being accounted for as economic hedges. Through September 30, 2013March 31, 2014, the cumulative amount of net unrealized gainslosses associated with these agreements was $5.0 million, all of which was recognized$2.7 million. We recorded these losses as an increaseadjustment to product sales revenue, of which $2.9 million of net losses was recognized in 2013.2013 and $0.2 million of net gains was recognized in 2014.

Through September 30, 2013March 31, 2014, the cumulative amount of net unrealized gainslosses associated with these agreements was $0.5 million. We recorded these gainslosses as a decrease inan adjustment to operating expenses, all of which was recognized in 2013.2014.

Butane futures agreements to purchase 0.40.1 million barrels of butane that mature between October 2013April 2014 and April 2014,January 2015, which are being accounted for as economic hedges. Through September 30, 2013March 31, 2014, the cumulative amount of net unrealized gainslosses associated with these agreements was $2.7less than $0.1 million. We recorded these gainslosses as a decrease inan adjustment to cost of product purchases, allsales, of which less than $0.1 million of net gains was recognized in 2013.2013 and $0.1 million of net losses was recognized in 2014.

Settled Derivative Contracts

We settled NYMEX contracts covering 5.12.4 million barrels of refined products related to economic hedges of products from our butane blending and fractionation activities that we sold during 2013.2014.  We recognized a gain of $3.5$2.6 million in 20132014 related to these contracts which we recorded as an adjustment to product sales revenue.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB")There were no significant accounting pronouncements issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2013-02, Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. The amendments in ASU 2013-02 do not change the current requirements for reporting net incomeduring 2014 that had or other comprehensive income in financial statements. However, the amendments require an entity to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. In addition, an entity is required to present, either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income but only if the amount reclassified is required under GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. For other amounts that are not required under GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures required under GAAP that provide additional detail about those amounts. ASU 2013-02 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2012 and is to be applied prospectively. We adopted this standard in the first quarter of 2013 and its adoption did notwill have a material impact on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-11, Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. This ASU requires entities that have financial instruments and derivatives that are either: (i) offset in accordance with ASC Topic 210 or Topic 815 or (ii) are subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement to make additional disclosures of the gross and net amounts of those assets and liabilities, the amounts offset in accordance with ASC Topics 210 and 815, as well as qualitative disclosures of the entity's master netting arrangement or similar agreement. In January 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-01, Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. The amendments in ASU 2013-01 clarify that the scope of ASU 2011-11 applies to derivatives accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging. ASU 2011-11 must be applied retrospectively and became effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2013. We adopted these standards in the first quarter of 2013 and their adoption did not have a material impact on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

ITEM 3.QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We may be exposed to market risk through changes in commodity prices and interest rates. We have established policies to monitor and control these market risks. We also enter intouse derivative agreements to help manage our exposure to commodity price and interest rate risks. 

Commodity Price Risk

We use derivatives to help us manage commodity price risk. Forward physical contracts that qualify for and are elected as normal purchases and sales are accounted for using traditional accrual accounting. As of September 30, 2013March 31, 2014, we had commitments under forward purchase and sale contracts used in our butane blending and fractionation activities as follows (in millions):
Market Value BarrelsNotional Value Barrels
Forward purchase contracts$158.8
 2.6$73.4
 1.3
Forward sale contracts$44.4
 0.4$25.2
 0.2
 
We use NYMEX contracts to hedge against changes in the price of petroleum products we expect to sell from activities in which we acquire or produce petroleum products. Some of these NYMEX contracts qualify for hedge accounting treatment, and we designate and account for these as either cash flow or fair value hedges. We account for those NYMEX contracts that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment, or are otherwise undesignated as cash flow or fair value hedges, as economic hedges. We also use butane futures agreements to hedge against changes in the price of butane that we expect to purchase in future periods. At September 30, 2013March 31, 2014, we had open NYMEX contracts representing 3.92.9 million barrels of petroleum products we expect to sell in the future. Additionally, we had open butane futures agreements for 0.40.1 million barrels of butane we expect to purchase in the future.

At September 30, 2013March 31, 2014, the fair value of our open NYMEX contracts was an asseta liability of $6.71.9 million and the fair value of our butane futures agreements was an asseta liability of less than $2.70.1 million. Combined, the net assetliability of $9.41.9 million was recorded as a current assetliability to energy commodity derivatives contracts ($8.43.4 million) and other non-current assets ($1.01.5 million).

At September 30, 2013March 31, 2014, open NYMEX contracts representing 3.22.2 million barrels of petroleum products did not qualify for hedge accounting treatment. A $10.00 per barrel increase in the price of these NYMEX contracts for reformulated gasoline blendstock for oxygen blending (“RBOB”) gasoline or heating oil would result in a $32.022.0 million decrease in our operating profit and a $10.00 per barrel decrease in the price of these NYMEX contracts for RBOB or heating oil would result in a $32.022.0 million increase in our operating profit. However, the increases or decreases in operating profit we recognize from our open NYMEX contracts will be substantially offset by higher or lower product sales revenue when the physical sale of the product occurs. These contracts may be for the purchase or sale of product in markets different from those in which we are attempting to hedge our exposure, resulting in hedges that do not eliminate all price risks.

Interest Rate Risk
At September 30, 2013March 31, 2014, we had $98.4 million outstanding on ourno variable rate revolving credit facility. Considering the amountdebt outstanding, including on our revolving credit facility. Our revolving credit facility ashas total borrowing capacity of September 30, 2013,$1.0 billion, from which we could borrow in the future. To the extent we borrow funds under this facility in any future period, those borrowings would bear interest at LIBOR plus a spread ranging from 1.0% to 1.75% based on our annual interest expense would change by $0.1 million if LIBOR were to change by 0.125%.credit ratings.

During 2012 we terminated and settled certain interest rate swap agreements and realized a gain of $11.0 million, which was recorded to other comprehensive income. The purpose of these swaps was to hedge against the variability of future interest payments on the refinancing of our debt that matures in 2014. If management were to

determine that it was probable this forecasted transaction would not occur, in 2014, the $11.0 million gain we have recorded to other comprehensive income would be reclassified into earnings.

ITEM 4.CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
We performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in rule 13a-14(c) of the Securities Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by the date of this report. We performed this evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our general partner’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Based upon that evaluation, our general partner’s Chief Executive Officer

34

Table of Contents


and Chief Financial Officer concluded that these disclosure controls and practices are effective in providing reasonable assurance that all required disclosures are included in the current report. Additionally, these disclosure controls and practices are effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed is accumulated and communicated to our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Securities Exchange Act) during the quarter ended September 30, 2013March 31, 2014 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 1.LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Glenn A. Henke, et al. v. Magellan Pipeline Company, L.P., et al.

In February 2010, a class action lawsuit was filed against us, ARCO Midcon L.L.C. and WilTel Communications, L.L.C. (“WilTel”("WilTel"). The complaint alleges that the property owned by plaintiffs and those similarly situated has been damaged by the existence of hazardous chemicals migrating from a pipeline easement onto the plaintiffs' property.property and seeks recovery for such damages. We acquired the pipeline from ARCO Pipeline (“APL”("APL") in 1994 as part of a larger transaction and subsequently transferred the property to WilTel. We are required to indemnify and defend WilTel pursuant to the transfer agreement. Prior to our acquisition of the pipeline property from APL, the pipeline was purged of product. Neither we nor WilTel ever transported hazardous materials through the pipeline. A hearing on the plaintiffs' Motion for Class Certification was held in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri in December 2012. The court has not yet rendered a decision onIn March 2014, the issueU.S. District Court denied plaintiff's motion for Class Certification. While the results of class certification. Wethe remaining litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, we believe that the ultimate resolution of this matter will not have a material impact on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Currently, there is an ongoing removal action designed to stabilize the site, remove the immediate threat posed at the site and set the stage for a later more comprehensive action, known as the assessment phase. We have accrued and paid $15,000 associated with the assessment phase. Until this assessment phase has been completed, we cannot reasonably estimate our proportionate share of the remediation costs associated with this site.

In April 2013, we received a Notice of Probable Violation from PHMSA, which resulted from alleged violations discovered during a 2012 inspection of our central Oklahoma pipeline facilities.  In third quarter 2013, we paid $0.1 million for monetary sanctions related to this matter, which is now resolved.  

We are a party to various other claims, legal actions and complaints arising in the ordinary course of business. While the results cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes the ultimate resolution of these claims, legal actions and complaints after consideration of amounts accrued, insurance coverage or other indemnification arrangements will not have a material adverse effect on our future results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Our butane blending activities subject us to federal regulations that govern renewable fuel requirements in the United States.

The Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 expanded the required use of renewable fuels in the United States.  Each year, the EPA establishes a Renewable Volume Obligation ("RVO") requirement for refiners and fuel manufacturers based on overall quotas established by the federal government.  By virtue of our butane blending activity, and resulting gasoline production, we are an obligated party and receive an annual RVO from the EPA.  In lieu of blending renewable fuels (such as ethanol and biodiesel), we have the option to purchase renewable energy credits, called RINs, to meet this obligation.RINs are generated when a gallon of biofuel such as ethanol or biodiesel is produced.  RINs may be separated when the biofuel is blended into gasoline or diesel, at which point the RIN is available for use in compliance or is available for sale on the open market.The cost of RINs has been volatile during 2013, and the cost and availability of RINs could have an adverse impact on our results of operations, cash flows and cash distributions.
