Except for statements of historical fact, all statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws.

The absence of such words or expressions does not necessarily mean the statements are not forward-looking.

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. Magellan Midstream Partners, L.P. is a Delaware limited partnership, and its common 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 its general partner.

Description of Business

We are principally engaged in the transportation, storage and distribution of refined petroleum products and crude oil.  As of March 31,June 30, 2021, our asset portfolio, excluding assets associated with discontinued operations, consisted of:

our refined products segment, comprised of our approximately 9,800-mile refined petroleum products pipeline system with 54 connected terminals as well as 25 independent terminals not connected to our pipeline system and 2 marine storage terminals (1 of which is owned through a joint venture); and

our crude oil segment, comprised of approximately 2,200 miles of crude oil pipelines, a condensate splitter and 37 million barrels of aggregate storage capacity, of which approximately 27 million barrels are used for contract storage. Approximately 1,000 miles of these pipelines, the condensate splitter and 30 million barrels of this storage capacity (including 24 million barrels used for contract storage) are wholly-owned, with the remainder owned through joint ventures.

The following terms are commonly used in our industry to describe products that we transport, store, distribute or otherwise handle through our petroleum pipelines and terminals:

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

transmix is a mixture that forms when different refined products are transported in pipelines. Transmix is fractionated and blended into usable refined products;

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

blendstocks are products 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 natural gasoline;

crude oil, which includes condensate, is a naturally occurring unrefined petroleum product recovered from underground that is used as feedstock by refineries, splitters and petrochemical facilities; and

renewable fuels, such as ethanol, biodiesel and renewable diesel, are fuels derived from living materials and typically blended with other refined products as required by government mandates.

We use the term petroleum products to describe any, or a combination, of the above-noted products.

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, 2020, which is derived from our audited financial statements, include all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly our financial position as of March 31,June 30, 2021, the results of operations for the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2020 and 2021 and cash flows for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2020 and 2021. The results of operations for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2021 for several reasons. Profits from our gas liquids blending activities are realized largely during the first and fourth quarters of each year.  Additionally, gasoline demand, which drives transportation volumes and revenues on our refined products pipeline system, generally trends higher during the summer driving months.  Further, the volatility of commodity prices impacts the profits from our commodity activities and the volume of petroleum products we transport on our pipelines. 

Pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the financial statements in
this report have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the U.S. for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. 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, 2020.

Discontinued Operations

In June 2021, we entered into an agreement to sell our independent terminals network comprised of 26 refined petroleum products terminals with approximately 6000000 barrels of storage located primarily in the southeastern United States. The sale is expected to close upon the receipt of required regulatory approvals. The related results of operations, financial position and cash flows have been classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented. See Note 2 - Discontinued Operations and Assets Held for Sale for further details.

Unless indicated otherwise, the information in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements relates to continuing operations.

Reclassifications

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current period’s presentation.presentation, including amounts related to our discontinued operations.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities that exist at the date of our consolidated financial statements, as well as their impact on the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

3.Segment Disclosures

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 third-party customers, operating expenses,expense, cost of product sales, other operating (income) expense and earnings of non-controlled 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 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 the nearest comparable GAAP financial measure, is

The maturities of the commercial paper notes vary, but may not exceed 397 days from the date of issuance. Because the commercial paper we can issue is limited to amounts available under our revolving credit facility, amounts outstanding under the program are classified as long-term debt.

9.10.Long-Term Incentive Plan

The compensation committee of our general partner’s board of directors administers our long-term incentive plan (“LTIP”) covering certain of our employees and the independent directors of our general partner. In April 2021, our compensation committee and our limited partners approved an amendment to the LTIP increasing the number of common units available for issuance from 11.9 million to 13.7 million. The LTIP primarily consists of phantom units and permits the grant of awards covering an aggregate payout of 11.9 million of our common units. The estimated units remaining available under the LTIP at March 31,June 30, 2021 totaled approximately 0.62.4 million.

During 2020, LTIP expense related to performance-based awards was reduced due to the impacts of COVID-19 and the significant decline in commodity prices on our financial results.

On February 5, 2021, 558,516 unit awards were granted pursuant to our LTIP. These awards included both performance-based and time-based awards and have a three-year vesting period that will end on December 31, 2023.

Basic and Diluted Net Income Per Common Unit

The difference between our actual common units outstanding and our weighted-average number of common units outstanding used to calculate basic net income per unit is due to the impact of: (i) the unit awards issued to non-employee directors and (ii) the weighted average effect of units actually issued or repurchased during a period.  The difference between the weighted-average number of common units outstanding used for basic and diluted net income per unit calculations on our consolidated statements of income is primarily due to the dilutive effect of unit awards associated with our LTIP that have not yet vested.

Basis Derivative Agreement
During 2019, we entered into a basis derivative agreement with a joint venture co-owner’s affiliate, and, contemporaneously, that affiliate entered into an intrastate transportation services agreement with the joint venture. Settlements under the basis derivative agreement are determined based on the basis differential of crude oil prices at different market locations and a notional volume of 30,000 barrels per day. As a result, we account for this agreement as a derivative. The agreement will expire in early 2022. We recognize the changes in fair value of this agreement based on forward price curves for crude oil in West Texas and the Houston Gulf Coast in other operating income (expense) in our consolidated statements of income. The liability for this agreement at December 31, 2020 and June 30, 2021 was $10.2 million and $5.0 million, respectively.

11.12.Fair Value

Fair Value Methods and Assumptions - Financial Assets and Liabilities

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

Commodity derivatives contracts. These include exchange-traded futures contracts 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 1011Derivative Financial Instruments for further disclosures regarding these contracts.

Basis derivative agreement. During 2019, we entered into a basis derivative agreement with a joint venture co-owner’s affiliate, and, contemporaneously, that affiliate entered into an intrastate transportation services agreement with the joint venture. Settlements under the basis derivative agreement are determined based on the basis differential of crude oil prices at different market locations and a notional volume of 30,000 barrels per day (see Note 1011 - Derivative Financial Instruments for further disclosures regarding this agreement). The fair value of this derivative was calculated based on observable market data inputs, including published commodity pricing data and market interest rates. The key inputs in the fair value calculation include the forward price curves for crude oil, the implied forward correlation in crude oil prices between West Texas and the Houston Gulf Coast, and the implied forward volatility for crude oil futures contracts.

Long-term receivables. These primarily include payments receivable under a sales-type leasing arrangement and cost reimbursement payments receivable. These receivables were recorded at
2229






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


fair value on our consolidated balance sheets, using then-current market rates to estimate the present value of future cash flows.

Guarantees and contractualContractual obligations. At March 31,June 30, 2021, these primarily include a long-term contractual obligation we entered into in connection with the sale of 3 marine terminals to a subsidiary of Buckeye Partners, L.P. (“Buckeye”).Buckeye. This obligation requires us to perform certain environmental remediation work on Buckeye’s behalf at the New Haven, Connecticut terminal.  TheThis contractual obligation was recorded at fair value on our consolidated balance sheets upon initial recognition and was calculated using our best estimate of potential outcome scenarios to determine our liability for the remediation costs required in this agreement.

Debt. The fair value of our publicly traded notes was based on the prices of those notes at December 31, 2020 and March 31,June 30, 2021; 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 and our commercial paper program approximates fair value due to the frequent repricing of these obligations.

Fair Value Measurements - Financial Assets and Liabilities

The following tables summarize the carrying amounts, fair values and fair value measurements recorded or disclosed as of December 31, 2020 and March 31,June 30, 2021 based on the three levels established by ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (in thousands):

12.13.Commitments and Contingencies

Butane Blending Patent Infringement Proceeding -

On October 4, 2017, Sunoco Partners Marketing & Terminals L.P. (“Sunoco”) brought an action for patent infringement in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware alleging Magellan Midstream Partners, L.P. (“Magellan”) and Powder Springs Logistics, LLC (“Powder Springs”) have infringed patents related to butane blending at the Powder Springs facility located in Powder Springs, Georgia. Sunoco subsequently submitted pleadings alleging that Magellan is also infringing various patents related to butane blending at 9 Magellan facilities, in addition to Powder Springs. Sunoco is seeking monetary damages, attorneys’ fees and a permanent injunction enjoining Magellan and Powder Springs from infringing the subject patents. We deny and are vigorously defending against all claims asserted by Sunoco. AlthoughThe amounts we have accrued in relation to the claims are immaterial, and although it is not possible to predict the ultimate outcome, we believe the ultimate resolution of this matter will not have a material adverse impact on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Environmental Liabilities

Liabilities recognized for estimated environmental costs were $14.3 million and $12.7$11.5 million at December 31, 2020 and March 31,June 30, 2021, respectively. We have classified environmental liabilities as other current or noncurrent based on management’s estimates regarding the timing of actual payments. Environmental expenses recognized as a result of changes in our environmental liabilities are included in operating expense on our consolidated statements of income. Environmental expenses were $0.4$0.8 million and $1.1$0.9 million for the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2020 and 2021, respectively, and $1.2 million and $2.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2021, respectively.

Other

In first quarter 2020, we entered into a long-term contractual obligation in connection with the sale of 3 marine terminals to Buckeye.  This obligation requires us to perform certain environmental remediation work on Buckeye’s behalf at the New Haven, Connecticut terminal.  At December 31, 2020 and March 31,June 30, 2021, our consolidated balance sheets reflect a current liability of $0.6 million and a noncurrent liability of $10.2 million to reflect the fair value of this obligation.

We have entered into an agreement to guarantee our 50% pro rata share, up to $25.0 million, of contractual obligations under the Powder Springs’ credit facility. As of March 31,June 30, 2021, our consolidated balance sheets reflected a $0.4 million other current liability and a corresponding increase in our investment in non-controlled entities on our consolidated balance sheets to reflect the fair value of this guarantee.

We and the non-controlled entities in which we own an interest are a party to various other claims, legal actions and complaints. 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 results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Partners Capital

Our general partner’s board of directors authorized the repurchase of up to $750 million of our common units through 2022. The timing, price and actual number of common units repurchased will depend on a number of factors including our expected expansion capital spending needs, excess cash available, balance sheet metrics, legal and regulatory requirements, market conditions and the trading price of our common units. The repurchase program does not obligate us to acquire any particular amount of common units, and the repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time. NaN units were repurchased during the three months ended March 31, 2021.

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 March 31,June 30, 2021, our asset portfolio, excluding assets associated with discontinued operations, consisted of:
our refined products segment, comprised of our approximately 9,800-mile refined petroleum products pipeline system with 54 connected terminals as well as 25 independent terminals not connected to our pipeline system and two marine storage terminals (one of which is owned through a joint venture); and

our crude oil segment, comprised of approximately 2,200 miles of crude oil pipelines, a condensate splitter and 37 million barrels of aggregate storage capacity, of which approximately 27 million barrels are used for contract storage. Approximately 1,000 miles of these pipelines, the condensate splitter and 30 million barrels of this storage capacity (including 24 million barrels used for contract storage) are wholly-owned, with the remainder owned through joint ventures.

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, 2020.

Recent Developments

Discontinued Operations. In June 2021, we entered into an agreement to sell our independent terminals network comprised of 26 refined petroleum products terminals with approximately six million barrels of storage located primarily in the southeastern United States. The sale is expected to close upon the receipt of required regulatory approvals. The related results of operations, financial position and cash flows have been classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented. See Note 2 - Discontinued Operations and Assets Held for Sale in Item 1 of Part I of this report for further details.

Sale of Partial Interest in MVP Terminalling, LLC. In April 2021, we sold nearly half of our membership interest in MVP and received $271.0 million in cash, including working capital adjustments. Following the sale, we own approximately 25% of MVP and remain the operator of the facility.

Distribution. In AprilJuly 2021, our general partner’s board of directors declared a quarterly distribution of $1.0275 per unit for the period of JanuaryApril 1, 2021 through March 31,June 30, 2021. This quarterly distribution will be paid on May 14,August 13, 2021 to unitholders of record on May 7,August 6, 2021.

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 table,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 the nearest comparable GAAP financial measure, is included in the following table.tables. Operating profit includes expense items, such as depreciation, amortization and impairment expense and general and administrative (“G&A”) expense, 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 this table.these tables. Product margin is a non-GAAP measure but the components of product sales revenue and cost of product sales are determined in accordance with GAAP. Our gas liquids blending, fractionation and other commodity-related activities generate significant revenue. However, we believe the product margin from these activities, which takes into account the related cost of product sales, better represents the importance to our results of operations.

Transportation and terminals revenue increased $55.5 million resulting from:
an increase in refined products revenue of $70.0 million primarily due to increased transportation revenue as a result of significantly higher volumes versus the pandemic levels of 2020 due to the recovery in travel, economic and drilling activity as well as contributions from our recent Texas pipeline expansion projects. Transportation revenues for the current period also benefited from our mid-year 2020 tariff increase; and
a decrease in crude oil revenue of $14.9 million primarily due to lower average tariff rates and reduced storage revenues. Average tariff rates decreased primarily as a result of the late 2020 expiration of several higher-priced contracts on our Longhorn pipeline, with much of this volume replaced by activities of our marketing affiliate. Storage revenues decreased primarily due to the 2020 period benefiting from increased short-term storage utilization at higher rates and contract renewals at lower rates in the current period.
Operating expense increased by $9.4 million primarily resulting from:
an increase in refined products expenses of $11.1 million primarily due to an increase in integrity spending related to the timing of maintenance work as well as higher compensation to reflect improved financial results and higher benefits costs; and
a decrease in crude oil expenses of $2.1 million primarily due to lower fees paid to Seabrook for ancillary services and the timing of integrity spending, partially offset by higher compensation costs related to improved financial results and higher benefit costs.

Product margin increased $30.9 million primarily due to unrealized losses on futures contracts in the 2020 period as well as more sales in the current quarter associated with our gas liquids blending activities as a result of improved blending opportunities.
Earnings of non-controlled entities increased $6.8 million primarily due to higher earnings from Saddlehorn related to the recent expansion of the pipeline and from MVP as a result of a favorable revenue adjustment in the current year.
Depreciation, amortization and impairment expense decreased $2.7 million primarily due to a reduction in our asset retirement obligations.
G&A expense increased $14.4 million primarily due to higher incentive compensation costs to reflect improved financial results and higher benefits costs in 2021.

Interest expense, net of interest income and interest capitalized, decreased $8.4 million primarily due to the absence of debt prepayment costs recorded in 2020, partially offset by lower capitalized interest as a result of reduced ongoing expansion capital spending. Our weighted-average debt outstanding was $5.0 billion in second quarter 2021 compared to $4.9 billion in second quarter 2020. The weighted average interest rate was 4.4% in second quarter 2021 compared to 4.5% in second quarter 2020.

Gain on disposition of assets of $69.7 million is primarily the result of a gain on the sale of a portion of our interest in MVP during second quarter 2021.

Other expense was $13.4 million unfavorable primarily due to amounts recognized in second quarter 2021 related to certain legal matters.

Income from discontinued operations increased by $11.6 million as a result of higher volumes at our independent terminals due to the economic recovery, improved product margin from higher sales volume at better pricing and lower operating expenses due to favorable product overages (which reduce operating expenses).

Transportation and terminals revenue decreased $33.2increased $22.1 million resulting from:
a decreasean increase in refined products revenue of $3.5$66.3 million primarily due to increased transportation revenue as a result of higher volumes versus the pandemic levels of 2020 due to the recovery in travel, economic and drilling activity as well as contributions from our recent Texas pipeline expansion projects. These favorable items were partially offset by the absence of revenues in the current period associated with the three marine terminals we sold in March 2020. This decline was partially offset by increased transportation revenue as a higher average tariff, in part driven by our mid-year 2020 tariff increase, more than offset slightly lower volumes. Supply disruptions during the current period caused by recent winter storms allowed us to meet market demand with our extensive pipeline system, resulting in longer-haul movements and additional volumes in the period. The current period also benefited from contributions from the West Texas pipeline expansion that began operations in the third quarter of 2020. These increased volumes were more than offset by lingering impacts of COVID-19 and still-recovering drilling activity;2020; and
a decrease in crude oil revenue of $29.5$44.4 million primarily due to lower average tariff rates, and less volume shipped.shipped and reduced storage revenues. Average tariff rates decreased primarily as a result of the recentlate 2020 expiration of several higher-priced contracts on our Longhorn pipeline and deficiency revenue recognized in the year-ago period.pipeline. Transportation volumes also declined partially due to those recent Longhorn contract expirations, with much of this volume replaced by activities of our marketing affiliate. Tariff movements on the Houston distribution system partially decreased due to aan early 2020 change in the way customers now contract for services at the partnership’s Seabrook export facility joint venture. Further, short-term supply disruptions caused by the recent winter storms in first quarter 2021 also negatively impacted shipments on both Longhorn and the Houston distribution system. Storage revenues decreased primarily due to the 2020 period benefiting from increased short-term storage utilization at higher rates and contract renewals at lower rates in the current period.
Operating expense decreased by $18.9$12.1 million primarily resulting from:
a decrease in refined products expenses of $11.0$2.5 million primarily due to the absence of costs in the current period associated with the divested marine terminals as well as lower power costs from our recent optimization efforts and gains from power hedging activity driven by the recent winter storms;storms in first quarter 2021, partially offset by higher compensation costs and integrity spending; and

Income from discontinued operations increased by $8.5 million as a result of higher volumes at our independent terminals due to the economic recovery and improved product margin from additional sales volume at better pricing.

Adjusted EBITDA, Distributable Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow

We believe that investors benefit from having access to the same financial measures utilized by management. In the following tables, we present the financial measures of adjusted EBITDA, distributable cash flow (“DCF”) and free cash flow (“FCF”), which are non-GAAP measures. These measures include the results of our discontinued operations.

Adjusted EBITDA is an important measure utilized by management and the investment community to assess the financial results of a company. A reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to net income, the nearest comparable GAAP measure, is included in the following tables.table below.

Our partnership agreement requires that all of our available cash, less amounts reserved by our general partner’s board of directors, be distributed to our unitholders. DCF is used by management to determine the amount of cash that our operations generated, after maintenance capital spending, that is available for distribution to our unitholders, as well as a basis for recommending to our general partner’s board of directors the amount of distributions to be paid each period. We also use DCF as the basis for calculating our performance-based equity long-term incentive compensation. A reconciliation of DCF to net income, the nearest comparable GAAP measure, is included in the following tables.table below.

FCF is a financial metric used by many investors and others in the financial community to measure the amount of cash generated by a company during a period after accounting for all investing activities, including both maintenance and expansion capital spending, as well as proceeds from divestitures. We believe FCF is important to the financial community as it reflects the amount of cash available for distributions, unit repurchases, debt reduction, additional investments or other partnership uses. A reconciliation of FCF to net income and to net cash provided by operating activities, the nearest comparable GAAP measures,measure, is included in the following tables.

Since the non-GAAP measures presented here include adjustments specific to us, they may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures of other companies.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Flows and Capital Expenditures

Operating Activities. Net cash provided by operating activities was $384.6$563.3 million and $240.2$593.0 million for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2020 and 2021, respectively. The $144.4$29.7 million decreaseincrease in 2021 was due to higher net income as previously described and changes in our working capital, and lower net income as previously described, partially offset by adjustments for non-cash items and distributions in excess of earnings of our non-controlled entities.
Investing Activities. Net cash used by investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was $18.8 million and net cash provided by investing activities for the threesix months ended March 31, 2020 was $131.8 million and net cash used by investing activities for the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2021 was $31.2$197.8 million. During the 2021 period, we used $30.0$67.4 million for capital expenditures. Also, during 2021, we sold a portion of our interest in MVP for cash proceeds of $271.0 million. During the 2020 period, we used $172.7$280.3 million for capital expenditures, which included $1.3 million for undivided joint interest projects for which cash was received from a third party.expenditures. Also during 2020, we sold three marine terminals for cash proceeds of $252.6$251.8 million and sold a portion of our interest in Saddlehorn for cash proceeds of $79.8$79.9 million. Additionally, we contributed capital of $28.3$59.5 million in conjunction with our joint venture capital projects, which we account for as investments in non-controlled entities.
Financing Activities. Net cash used by financing activities for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2020 and 2021 was $451.5$619.9 million and $218.6$546.9 million, respectively. During the 2021 period, we paid distributions of $229.4$458.4 million to our unitholders.unitholders and repurchased common units for $82.3 million. Also, in January 2021, our equity-based incentive compensation awards that vested December 31, 2020 were settled by issuing 163,007 common units and distributing those units to the long-term incentive plan (“LTIP”) participants, resulting in payments primarily associated with tax withholdings of $6.2 million. During the 2020 period, we paid distributions of $234.8$466.0 million to our unitholders and maderepurchased common unit repurchasesunits for $202.0 million. Additionally, we received net proceeds of $202.0 million.$499.4 million from the issuance of long-term senior notes and had net commercial paper borrowings of $141.0 million, which collectively were used to repay our $550.0 million of 4.25% notes due 2021. Also, in January 2020, our equity-based incentive compensation awards that vested December 31, 2019 were settled by issuing 284,643 common units and distributing those units to the LTIP participants, resulting in payments primarily associated with tax withholdings of $14.7 million.
42



The quarterly distribution amount related to firstsecond quarter 2021 earnings is $1.0275 per unit (to be paid in secondthird quarter 2021).  If we were to continue paying distributions at this level on the number of common units currently outstanding, total distributions of approximately $918$912 million would be paid to our unitholders related to 2021 earnings. Management believes we will have sufficient DCF to fund these distributions.
32



Capital Requirements

Capital spending for our business 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 DCF; and
Expansion capital expenditures. These expenditures are undertaken primarily to generate incremental DCF and include costs to acquire additional assets to grow our business and to expand or upgrade our existing facilities and to construct new assets, which we refer to collectively as organic growth projects. Organic growth projects include, for example, capital expenditures that increase storage or throughput volumes or develop pipeline connections to new supply sources.

For the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2021, our maintenance capital spending was $12.1 million.$24.7 million, including $0.8 million for discontinued operations. For 2021, we expect to spend approximately $85 million on maintenance capital.

During the first threesix months of 2021, we spent $8.6$36.5 million for our expansion capital projects, including $0.3 million for discontinued operations, and contributed $1.9$5.6 million for expansion capital projects in conjunction with our joint ventures. Based on the progress of expansion projects already underway, we expect to spend approximately $75 million in 2021 and $15 million in 2022 to complete our current slate of expansion capital projects.

In addition, we may expend capital to repurchase our common units or long-term debt. Our common unit repurchase program allows us to repurchase up to $750 million of common units through 2022 (see Note 15 – Partners’ Capital and Distributions of the consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 of Part I of this report for detail of our changes in partners’ capital). We may also repurchase portions of our existing long-term debt from time-to-time through open market transactions, tender offers or privately-negotiated transactions.
Liquidity

Cash generated from operations is a key source of liquidity for funding debt service, maintenance capital expenditures, quarterly distributions and unit repurchases.repurchases of our common units. Additional liquidity for purposes other than quarterly distributions, such as expansion capital expenditures, and debt repayments, is available through borrowings under our commercial paper program and revolving credit facility, as well as from other borrowings or issuances of debt or common units (see Note 67Debt and Note 1415Partners Capital and Distributions of the consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 of Part I of this report for detail of our borrowings and changes in partners’ capital).

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

None.

Other Items

Executive Officer Promotions. Mark B. Roles, who previously held the position of Vice President, Business Optimization, was elected by our general partner’s board of directors as Senior Vice President, Commercial - Refined Products effective May 22, 2021. He has served in various positions of increasing responsibilities in commercial and operations since joining us and our predecessor company in 1998.

Pipeline Tariff Changes. Historically, the tariff rates on approximately 40% of our refined products shipments have been regulated by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (“FERC”) primarily through an annual index methodology, and nearly all the remaining rates are adjustable at our discretion based on market factors. Due to the recent expansion of our Texas refined products pipeline system, for which rates are not regulated by the FERC, we expect a smaller percent of our total refined products shipments to be subject to the index methodology in the future. The new 5-year FERC index beginning July 2021 is based on the change in the producer price index for finished goods plus 0.78%. Based on this methodology, we decreased our index rates by approximately 0.6% on July 1, 2021, with an average increase of more than 4% on the remainder of our refined products tariff rates, resulting in an overall average refined products mid-year tariff increase of nearly 3%. Most of the tariffs on our long-haul crude oil pipelines are established at negotiated rates that generally provide for annual adjustments in line with changes in the FERC index, subject to certain modifications. As a result, we also changed the rates on our crude oil pipelines between 0% and 2% in July 2021.

Commodity Derivative Agreements. Certain of our business activities result in our owning various commodities, which exposes us to commodity price risk. We generally use forward physical commodity contracts and exchange-traded futures contracts to hedge against changes in prices of the commodities that we expect to sell or purchase in future periods. We are a party to a basis derivative agreement for which settlements are determined based on the basis differential of crude oil prices at different market locations.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk for further information regarding the quantities of refined products and crude oil hedged at March 31,June 30, 2021 and the fair value of open hedge and basis derivative contracts at that date, please see Item 3.

ITEM 3.QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

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

Commodity Price Risk

Our commodity price risk primarily arises from our gas liquids blending and fractionation activities, and from managing product overages and shortages associated with our refined products and crude oil pipelines and terminals. We generally use derivatives such as forward physical contracts and exchange-traded futures contracts to help us manage our 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 March 31,June 30, 2021, we had commitments under forward purchase and sale contracts as follows (in millions):
Total20212022-2025Beyond 2026Total20212022-2025Beyond 2025
Forward purchase contracts – notional valueForward purchase contracts – notional value$344.0 $101.7 $118.6 $123.7 Forward purchase contracts – notional value$466.6 $158.4 $163.6 $144.6

and Hedging, for our open contracts and as a result we accounted for these contracts as economic hedges, with changes in fair value recognized currently in earnings. The fair value of these open futures contracts, representing 3.04.3 million barrels of petroleum products we expect to sell and 0.20.7 million barrels of gas liquids we expect to purchase, was a net liability of $21.5$21.3 million. With respect to these contracts, a $10.00 per barrel increase (decrease) in the prices of petroleum products we expect to sell would result in a $30.0$43.0 million decrease (increase) in our operating profit, while a $10.00 per barrel increase (decrease) in the price of gas liquids we expect to purchase would result in a $2.0$7.0 million increase (decrease) in our operating profit. These increases or decreases in operating profit would be substantially offset by higher or lower product sales revenue or cost of product sales when the physical sale or purchase of those products occurs, respectively. These contracts may be for the purchase or sale of products in markets different from those in which we are attempting to hedge our exposure, and the related hedges may not eliminate all price risks.

We are a party to a basis derivative agreement with a joint venture co-owner’s affiliate, and that affiliate is a party to an intrastate transportation services agreement with the joint venture, which was entered into contemporaneously with the basis derivative agreement. Settlements under the basis derivative agreement are determined based on the basis differential of crude oil prices at different market locations and a notional volume of 30,000 barrels per day. As a result, we are exposed to the differential in the forward price curves for crude oil in West Texas and the Houston Gulf Coast. With respect to this agreement, a $0.50 per barrel increase (decrease) in the differential would result in an approximately $1 million increase (decrease) in our operating profit.

Interest Rate Risk
Our use of variable rate debt and any future issuances of fixed rate debt expose us to interest rate risk. As of March 31,June 30, 2021, we did not have any variable rate debt outstanding.


34



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-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. We performed this evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our general partner’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”). Based upon that evaluation, our general partner’s CEO and CFO concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Our disclosure controls and procedures include controls and procedures designed so that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including the CEO and the CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended March 31,June 30, 2021 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II
OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Butane Blending Patent Infringement Proceeding.  On October 4, 2017, Sunoco Partners Marketing & Terminals L.P. (“Sunoco”) brought an action for patent infringement in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware alleging Magellan Midstream Partners, L.P. (“Magellan”) and Powder Springs Logistics, LLC (“Powder Springs”) are infringing patents related to butane blending at the Powder Springs facility located in Powder Springs, Georgia. Sunoco subsequently submitted pleadings alleging that Magellan is also infringing various patents related to butane blending at nine Magellan facilities, in addition to Powder Springs. Sunoco is seeking monetary damages, attorneys’ fees and a permanent injunction enjoining Magellan and Powder Springs from infringing the subject patents. We deny and are vigorously defending against all claims asserted by Sunoco. Although it is not possible to predict the ultimate outcome, we believe the ultimate resolution of this matter will not have a material adverse impact on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

We and the non-controlled entities in which we own an interest are a party to various other claims, legal actions and complaints. 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. 

ITEM 1A.RISK FACTORS

In addition to the information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K are not our only risks. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or operating results.

ITEM 2.UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

In first quarter 2020, we announced thatinitiated our general partner’s boardcurrent unit repurchase program, which has a total program authorization of directors authorized the repurchase of up to $750 million of our common units through 2022. We intend to purchase our common units from time-to-time through a variety of methods, including open market purchases and negotiated transactions, all in compliance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and other applicable legal requirements. The timing, price and actual number of common units repurchased will depend on a number of factors including our expected expansion capital spending, excess cash available, balance sheet metrics, legal and regulatory requirements, market conditions and the trading price of our common units. The unit repurchase program does not obligate us to acquire any particular amount of common units, and the repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time.

At March 31,The following table provides details of our unit repurchases in 2021 the remaining available capacity under the program was $473.1 million. No units were repurchased during the three months ended March 31, 2021.(in millions, except unit and per unit amounts):
