NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

Note 1:Description of Business and Presentation of Financial Statements

Holly Energy Partners, L.P. (“HEP”), together with its consolidated subsidiaries, is a publicly held master limited partnership. We commenced operations on July 13, 2004, upon the completion of our initial public offering. On March 14, 2022 (the “Closing Date”), HollyFrontier Corporation (“HFC”) and HEP announced the establishment of HF Sinclair Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“HF Sinclair”), as the new parent holding company of HFC and HEP and their subsidiaries, and the completion of their respective acquisitions of Sinclair Oil Corporation (now known as Sinclair Oil LLC (“Sinclair Oil”)) and Sinclair Transportation Company LLC (“Sinclair Transportation”) from REH Company (formerly known as The Sinclair Companies, (now known as REH Company and referred to herein as “Sinclair HoldCo”“REH Company”). On the Closing Date, pursuant to that certain Business Combination Agreement, dated as of August 2, 2021 (as amended on March 14, 2022, the “Business Combination Agreement”), by and among HFC, HF Sinclair, (formerly known as Hippo Parent Corporation), Hippo Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of HF Sinclair (“Parent Merger Sub”), Sinclair HoldCo,REH Company, and Hippo Holding LLC (now known as Sinclair Holding LLC), a wholly owned subsidiary of Sinclair HoldCoREH Company (the “Target Company”), HF Sinclair completed its acquisition of the Target Company by effecting (a) a holding company merger in accordance with Section 251(g) of the Delaware General Corporation Law whereby HFC merged with and into Parent Merger Sub, with HFC surviving such merger as a direct wholly owned subsidiary of HF Sinclair (the “HFC Merger”), and (b) immediately following the HFC Merger, a contribution whereby Sinclair HoldCoREH Company contributed all of the equity interests of the Target Company to HF Sinclair in exchange for shares of HF Sinclair, resulting in the Target Company becoming a direct wholly owned subsidiary of HF Sinclair (together with the HFC Merger, the “HFC Transactions”).

As of September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, HF Sinclair and its subsidiaries owned a 47% limited partner interest and the non-economic general partner interest in HEP.

In connection with the closing of the HFC Transactions, HF Sinclair issued 60,230,036 shares of HF Sinclair common stock to Sinclair HoldCo,REH Company, representing 27.0%27% of the pro forma equity of HF Sinclair with a value of approximately $2,149 million based on HFC’s fully diluted shares of common stock outstanding and closing stock price on March 11, 2022. References herein to HF Sinclair with respect to time periods prior to March 14, 2022 refer to HFC and its consolidated subsidiaries and do not include the Target Company, Sinclair Transportation or their respective consolidated subsidiaries. References herein to HF Sinclair with respect to time periods from and after March 14, 2022 refer to HF Sinclair and its consolidated subsidiaries, which includes the combined business operations of HFC, the Target Company, Sinclair Transportation and their respective consolidated subsidiaries.

Additionally, on the Closing Date, pursuant to that certain Contribution Agreement, dated August 2, 2021 (as amended on March 14, 2022, the “Contribution Agreement”) by and among Sinclair HoldCo,REH Company, Sinclair Transportation and HEP, HEP acquired all of the outstanding equity interests of Sinclair Transportation from Sinclair HoldCoREH Company in exchange for 21 million newly issued common limited partner units of HEP (the “HEP Units”), representing 16.6% of the pro forma outstanding HEP Units with a value of approximately $349 million based on HEP’s fully diluted common limited partner units outstanding and closing unit price on March 11, 2022, and cash consideration equal to $329.0 million, inclusive of final working capital adjustments pursuant to the Contribution Agreement for an aggregate transaction value of $678.0 million (the “HEP Transaction” and together with the HFC Transactions, the “Sinclair Transactions”). Of the 21 million HEP Units, 5.29 million units are currentlywere originally held in escrow to secure Sinclair HoldCo’sREH Company’s renewable identification numbers (“RINs”) credit obligations to HF Sinclair under Section 6.22 of the Business Combination Agreement. HF Sinclair, and notThe HEP would be entitled to the HEP common units held in escrow were released to REH Company in the eventApril 2023 upon their satisfaction of Sinclair HoldCo’s breach of itsthe RINs credit obligations under the Business Combination Agreement.relating thereto. The cash consideration was funded through a draw under HEP’s senior secured revolving credit facility. The HEP Transaction was conditioned on the closing of the HFC Transactions, which occurred immediately following the HEP Transaction.

Sinclair Transportation, which together with its subsidiaries, owns integrated crude and refined products pipelines and terminal assets, including approximately 1,200 miles of integrated crude and refined product pipeline supporting the Sinclair HoldCoTarget Company refineries and other third party refineries, eight product terminals and two crude terminals with approximately 4.5 million barrels of operated storage. In addition, HEP acquired Sinclair Transportation’s interests in three pipeline joint ventures for crude gathering and product offtake.

- 109 -


References herein to HEP with respect to time periods prior to March 14, 2022, include HEP and its consolidated subsidiaries and do not include Sinclair Transportation and its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively, the “Acquired Sinclair Businesses”). References herein to HEP with respect to time periods from and after March 14, 2022 include the operations of the Acquired Sinclair Businesses.

Through our subsidiaries and joint ventures, we own and/or operate petroleum product and crude oil pipelines, terminal, tankage and loading rack facilities and refinery processing units that support refining and marketing operations of HF Sinclair and other refineries in the Mid-Continent, Southwest and Northwest regions of the United States. Additionally, we own (a) a 50% interest in Osage Pipe Line Company, LLC (“Osage”), (b) a 50% interest in Cheyenne Pipeline LLC, (c) a 50% interest in Cushing Connect Pipeline & Terminal LLC, (d) a 25.06% interest in Saddle Butte Pipeline III, LLC and (e) a 49.995% interest in Pioneer Investments Corp. Following the HEP Transaction, we now own the remaining 25% interest in UNEV Pipeline, LLC (“UNEV”) and as a result, UNEV Pipeline, LLC is our wholly owned subsidiary.

On June 1, 2020, HFC announced plans to permanently cease petroleum refining operations at its Cheyenne Refinery (the “Cheyenne Refinery”) and to convert certain assets at that refinery to renewable diesel production. HFC subsequently began winding down petroleum refining operations at the Cheyenne Refinery on August 3, 2020.

On February 8, 2021, HEP and HFC finalized and executed new agreements for HEP’s Cheyenne assets with the following terms, in each case effective January 1, 2021: (1) a ten-year lease with two five-year renewal option periods for HFC’s (and now HF Sinclair’s) use of certain HEP tank and rack assets in the Cheyenne Refinery to facilitate renewable diesel production with an annual lease payment of approximately $5 million, (2) a five-year contango service fee arrangement that will utilize HEP tank assets inside the Cheyenne Refinery where HFC (and now HF Sinclair) will pay a base tariff to HEP for available crude oil storage and HFC (and now HF Sinclair) and HEP will split any profits generated on crude oil contango opportunities and (3) a $10 million one-time cash payment from HFC to HEP for the termination of the existing minimum volume commitment.

We operate in two reportable segments, a Pipelines and Terminals segment and a Refinery Processing Unit segment. Disclosures around these segments are discussed in Note 16.

We generate revenues by charging tariffs for transporting petroleum products and crude oil through our pipelines, by charging fees for terminalling and storing refined products and other hydrocarbons, providing other services at our storage tanks and terminals and by charging a tolling fee per barrel or thousand standard cubic feet of feedstock throughput in our refinery processing units. We do not take ownership of products that we transport, terminal, store or process, and therefore, we are not exposed directly to changes in commodity prices.

The consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. The interim financial statements reflect all adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of our results for the interim periods. Such adjustments are considered to be of a normal recurring nature. Although certain notes and other information required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted, we believe that the disclosures in these consolidated financial statements are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.2022. Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that will be realized for the year ending December 31, 2022.2023.

Principles of Consolidation and Common Control Transactions
The consolidated financial statements include our accounts and those of subsidiaries and joint ventures that we control. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

Most of our acquisitions from HFC occurred while we were a consolidated variable interest entity (“VIE”) of HFC. Therefore, as an entity under common control with HFC, we recorded these acquisitions on our balance sheets at HFC's historical basis instead of our purchase price or fair value.

Goodwill and Long-lived Assets
Goodwill represents the excess of our cost of an acquired business over the fair value of the assets acquired, less liabilities assumed. Goodwill is not subject to amortization and is tested annually or more frequently if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. Our goodwill
- 11 -


impairment testing first entails either a quantitative assessment or an optional qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If we determine that based on the qualitative factors that it is more likely than not that the carrying amount of the reporting unit is greater than its fair value, a quantitative test is performed in which we estimate the fair value of the related reporting unit. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the goodwill of that reporting unit is impaired, and we measure goodwill impairment as the excess of the carrying amount of the reporting unit over the related fair value.

Indicators of Goodwill and Long-lived Asset Impairment
During the first quarter of 2021, changes in our agreements with HFC related to our Cheyenne assets resulted in an increase in the net book value of our Cheyenne reporting unit due to sales-type lease accounting, which led us to determine indicators of potential goodwill impairment for our Cheyenne reporting unit were present.

The estimated fair value of our Cheyenne reporting unit was derived using a combination of income and market approaches. The income approach reflects expected future cash flows based on anticipated gross margins, operating costs, and capital expenditures. The market approaches include both the guideline public company and guideline transaction methods. Both methods utilize pricing multiples derived from historical market transactions of other like-kind assets. These fair value measurements involve significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 inputs). See Note 6 for further discussion of Level 3 inputs.

Our interim impairment testing of our Cheyenne reporting unit goodwill identified an impairment charge of $11.0 million, which was recorded in the three months ended March 31, 2021.

We performed our annual goodwill impairment testing qualitatively as of July 1, 2022, and determined it was not more likely than not that the carrying amount of each reporting unit was greater than its fair value. Therefore, a quantitative test was not necessary, and no additional impairment of goodwill was recorded.

We evaluate long-lived assets, including finite-lived intangible assets, for potential impairment by identifying whether indicators of impairment exist and, if so, assessing whether the long-lived assets are recoverable from estimated future undiscounted cash flows. The actual amount of impairment loss, if any, to be recorded is equal to the amount by which a long-lived asset’s carrying value exceeds its fair value.

- 10 -


Revenue Recognition
Revenues are generally recognized as products are shipped through our pipelines and terminals, feedstocks are processed through our refinery processing units or other services are rendered. The majority of our contracts with customers meet the definition of a lease since (1) performance of the contracts is dependent on specified property, plant, or equipment and (2) it is unlikelyremote that one or more parties other than the customer will take more than a minor amount of the output associated with the specified property, plant, or equipment. Prior to the adoption of the newThe lease standard (see below), we bifurcated the consideration received between lease and service revenue. The new lease standard allows the election of a practical expedient whereby a lessor does not have to separate non-lease (service) components from lease components for operating leases under certain conditions. The majority of our contracts meet these conditions, and weWe have made this election for those contracts.contracts with operating leases. Under this practical expedient, we treat the combined components as a single performance obligation in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, which largely codified ASU 2014-09, if the non-lease (service) component is the dominant component. If the lease component is the dominant component, we treat the combined components as a lease in accordance with ASC 842, which largely codified ASU 2016-02. The practical expedient does not apply for sales-type leases. Therefore, we bifurcate the consideration received for those contracts between lease and service components. The service component is accounted for within the scope of ASC 606.
Several of our contracts include incentive or reduced tariffs once a certain quarterly volume is met. Revenue from the variable element of these transactions is recognized based on the actual volumes shipped as it relates specifically to rendering the services during the applicable quarter.
The majority of our long-term transportation contracts specify minimum volume requirements, whereby, we bill a customer for a minimum level of shipments in the event a customer ships below their contractual requirements. If there are no future performance obligations, we will recognize these deficiency payments in revenue.
In certain of these throughput agreements, a customer may later utilize such shortfall billings as credit towards future volume shipments in excess of its minimum levels within its respective contractual shortfall make-up period. Such amounts represent an obligation to perform future services, which may be initially deferred and later recognized as revenue based on estimated future shipping levels, including the likelihood of a customer’s ability to utilize such amounts prior to the end of the contractual
- 12 -


shortfall make-up period. We recognize these deficiency payments in revenue when we do not expect we will be required to satisfy these performance obligations in the future based on the pattern of rights projected to be exercised by the customer. During the ninethree months ended September 30,March 31, 2023 and 2022, and 2021, we recognized $14.0$4.8 million and $12.3$5.2 million, respectively, of these deficiency payments in revenue, of which $3.9$0.9 million and $0.5 million, respectively,of the deficiency payments recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2022, related to deficiency payments billed in prior periods.
We have other cost reimbursement provisions in our throughput / storage agreements providing that customers (including HF Sinclair) reimburse us for certain costs. Such reimbursements are recorded as revenue or deferred revenue depending on the nature of the cost. Deferred revenue is recognized over the remaining contractual term of the related throughput agreement.

Leases
We adopted ASC 842 effective January 1, 2019, and elected to adopt using the modified retrospective transition method and practical expedients, both of which are provided as options by the standard and further defined below.

Lessee Accounting
At inception, we determine if an arrangement is or contains a lease. Right-of-use assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term, and lease liabilities represent our payment obligation under the leasing arrangement. Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. We use our estimated incremental borrowing rate (“IBR”) to determine the present value of lease payments as most of our leases do not contain an implicit rate. Our IBR represents the interest rate which we would pay to borrow, on a collateralized basis, an amount equal to the lease payments over a similar term in a similar economic environment. We use the implicit rate when readily determinable.

Operating leases are recorded in operating lease right-of-use assets and current and noncurrent operating lease liabilities on our consolidated balance sheet. Finance leases are included in properties and equipment, current finance lease liabilities and noncurrent finance lease liabilities on our consolidated balance sheet.

When renewal options are defined in a lease, our lease term includes an option to extend the lease when it is reasonably certain we will exercise that option. Leases with a term of 12 months or less are not recorded on our balance sheet, and lease expense is
- 11 -


accounted for on a straight-line basis. In addition, as a lessee, we separate non-lease components that are identifiable and exclude them from the determination of net present value of lease payment obligations.

Lessor Accounting
Customer contracts that contain leases are generally classified as either operating leases, direct finance leases or sales-type leases. We consider inputs such as the lease term, fair value of the underlying asset and residual value of the underlying assets when assessing the classification.

Deferred Turnaround Costs
Our refinery processing units require regular major maintenance and repairs which are commonly referred to as “turnarounds.” The required frequency of the maintenance varies by unit, but generally is every four to five years. Turnaround costs are deferred and amortized over the period until the next scheduled turnaround.



Note 2:Sinclair Acquisition

HEP Transaction

On March 14, 2022, pursuant to the Contribution Agreement, HEP acquired all of the outstanding equity interests of Sinclair Transportation in exchange for 21 million newly issued HEP Units, representing 16.6% of the pro forma outstanding HEP Units with a value of approximately $349 million based on HEP’s fully diluted common limited partner units outstanding and closing unit price on March 11, 2022, and cash consideration equal to $329.0 million, inclusive of final working capital adjustments pursuant to the Contribution Agreement for an aggregate transaction value of $678.0 million. On the same date and immediately following the consummation of the HEP Transaction, pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, Sinclair HoldCoREH Company contributed all of the equity interests of the Target Company to HF Sinclair in exchange for 60,230,036 shares of common stock in HF Sinclair, representing 27.0%27% of the pro forma equity of HF Sinclair with a value of approximately
- 13 -


$2,149 $2,149 million based on HF Sinclair’s fully diluted shares of common stock outstanding and closing stock price on March 11, 2022.

On August 2, 2021, in connection with the Contribution Agreement, HEP, Holly LogisticsLogistic Services, L.L.C., the ultimate general partner of HEP (“HLS”) and Navajo Pipeline Co., L.P., the sole member of HLS (the “Sole Member”), entered into a unitholders agreement (the “Unitholders Agreement”) by and among HEP, HLS, the Sole Member, Sinclair HoldCoREH Company and the stockholders of Sinclair HoldCoREH Company (each a “Unitholder” and collectively, the “Unitholders,” and along with Sinclair HoldCoREH Company and each of their permitted transferees, the “Sinclair“REH Parties”), which became effective on the Closing Date.

Pursuant to the Unitholders Agreement, the SinclairREH Parties have the right to nominate, and have nominated, one person to the board of directors of HLS until such time that (x) the SinclairREH Parties beneficially own less than 10.5 million HEP Units or (y) the HEP Units beneficially owned by the SinclairREH Parties constitute less than 5% of all outstanding HEP Units. The Unitholders Agreement also subjects 15.75 million of the HEP Units issued to the SinclairREH Parties (the “Restricted Units”) to a “lock-up” period commencing on the Closing Date, during which the SinclairREH Parties will beare prohibited from selling the Restricted Units, except for certain permitted transfers. One-third of such Restricted Units were released from such restrictions on the date that was six months after the closing, one-third of the Restricted Units will bewere released from such restrictions on the first anniversary of the Closing Date, and the remainder will be released from such restrictions on the date that is 15 months from the Closing Date.

Under the terms of the Contribution Agreement, HEP acquired Sinclair Transportation, which together with its subsidiaries, owned Sinclair HoldCo’sREH Company’s integrated crude and refined products pipelines and terminal assets, including approximately 1,200 miles of integrated crude and refined product pipelines supporting the Sinclair HoldCoREH Company refineries and other third-party refineries, eight product terminals and two crude terminals with approximately 4.5 million barrels of operated storage. In addition, HEP acquired Sinclair Transportation’s interests in three pipeline joint ventures for crude gathering and product offtake including: Saddle Butte Pipeline III, LLC (25.06% non-operated interest); Pioneer PipelineInvestments Corp. (49.995% non-operated interest); and UNEV Pipeline (the 25% non-operated interest not already owned by HEP, resulting in UNEV Pipeline, LLC becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of HEP).

The HEP Transaction was accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting, with the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their respective acquisition date fair values at the Closing Date, with the excess consideration recorded as goodwill. The preliminary purchase price allocation resulted in the recognition of $98.4$119.1 million in goodwill.

The fair value of properties, plants and equipment was based on the combination of the cost and market approaches. Key assumptions in the cost approach include determining the replacement cost by evaluating recently published data and adjusting replacement cost for physical deterioration, functional and economic obsolescence. We used the market approach to measure the value of certain assets through an analysis of recent sales or offerings of comparable properties.
- 13 -



The fair value of the equity method investments were based on a combination of valuation methods including discounted cash flows and the guideline public company method.

The fair values discussed above were based on significant inputs that are not observable in the market and, therefore, represent Level 3 measurements. See Note 6.

The fair values of all other current receivable and payables were equivalent to their carrying values due to their short-term nature.

These fair value estimates are preliminary and, therefore, the final fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed and the resulting effect on our financial position may change once all needed information has become available, and we finalize our valuations.

Our consolidated financial and operating results reflect the Sinclair Transportation operations beginning March 14, 2022. Our results of operations forFor the three months ended September 30, 2022 included revenue, interest income from sales-type leases and net income of $11.6 million, $14.4 million and $19.3 million, respectively, and revenue, interest income from sales-type leases and net income of $23.7 million, $31.6 million and $41.1 million for the period from March 14, 2022 through September 30, 2022, respectively, related to these operations.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022,31, 2023, we incurred $2.1$0.5 million in incremental direct acquisition and integration costs that principally relate to legal, advisory and other professional fees and are presented as general and administrative expenses in our statements of operations.

The following unaudited pro forma combined condensed financial data for the ninethree months ended September 30,March 31, 2022 and the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 was derived from our historical financial statements giving effect to the HEP Transaction as if it had occurred on January 1, 2021. The below information reflects pro forma adjustments based on available information and certain assumptions that we believe are reasonable, including the depreciation of Sinclair Transportation’s fair-valued properties, plants and equipment.

Additionally, pro forma earnings include certain non-recurring charges, the substantial majority of which consist of transaction costs related to financial advisors, legal advisors, financial advisory and professional accounting services.

The pro forma results of operations do not include any contract adjustments to tariffs made after closing, cost savings or other synergies that may result from the HEP Transaction. The pro forma combined condensed financial data has been included for comparative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the results that might have occurred had the HEP Transaction taken place on January 1, 2021 and is not intended to be a projection of future results.

Note 3:Investment inCushing Connect Joint Venture

On October 2, 2019, HEP Cushing LLC (“HEP Cushing”), a wholly owned subsidiary of HEP, and Plains Marketing, L.P. (“PMLP”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. (“Plains”), formed a 50/50 joint venture, Cushing Connect Pipeline & Terminal LLC (the “Cushing Connect Joint Venture”), for (i) the development and construction of a new 160,000 barrel per day common carrier crude oil pipeline (the “Cushing Connect Pipeline”) that connected the Cushing, Oklahoma crude oil hub to the Tulsa, Oklahoma refining complex owned by a subsidiary of HF Sinclair and (ii) the ownership and operation of 1.5 million barrels of crude oil storage in Cushing, Oklahoma (the “Cushing Connect JV Terminal”). The Cushing Connect JV Terminal went in service during the second quarter of 2020, and the Cushing Connect Pipeline was placed into service during the third quarter of 2021. Long-term commercial agreements have been entered into to support the Cushing Connect Joint Venture assets.

The Cushing Connect Joint Venture has contracted with an affiliate of HEP to manage the construction and operation of the Cushing Connect Pipeline and with an affiliate of Plains to manage the operation of the Cushing Connect JV Terminal. The total Cushing Connect Joint Venture investment will generally be shared equally among the partners. However, we are solely responsible for any Cushing Connect Pipeline construction costs that exceed the budget by more than 10%. HEP estimates its share of the cost of the Cushing Connect JV Terminal contributed by Plains and Cushing Connect Pipeline construction costs are approximately $73 million, including approximately $5 million of Cushing Connect Pipeline construction costs exceeding the budget by more than 10% borne solely by HEP.

The Cushing Connect Joint Venture legal entities are variable interest entities (“VIEs”) as defined under GAAP. A VIElegal entity is a legal entityVIE if it has any one of the following characteristics: (i) the entity does not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support; (ii) the at risk equity holders, as a group, lack the
- 14 -


characteristics of a controlling financial interest; or (iii) the entity is structured with non-substantive voting rights. The Cushing Connect Joint Venture legal entities do not have sufficient equity at risk to finance their activities without additional financial support. Since HEP constructed and is operating the Cushing Connect Pipeline, HEP has more ability to direct the activities that most significantly impact the financial performance of the Cushing Connect Joint Venture and Cushing Connect Pipeline legal
- 16 -


entities. Therefore, HEP consolidates those legal entities. We do not have the ability to direct the activities that most significantly impact the Cushing Connect JV Terminal legal entity, and therefore, we account for our interest in the Cushing Connect JV Terminal legal entity using the equity method of accounting. HEP’s maximum exposure to loss as a result of its involvement with the Cushing Connect JV Terminal legal entity is not expected to be material due to the long-term terminalling agreements in place to support its operations.

With the exception of the assets of HEP Cushing, creditors of the Cushing Connect Joint Venture legal entities have no recourse to our assets. Any recourse to HEP Cushing would be limited to the extent of HEP Cushing's assets, which other than its investment in Cushing Connect Joint Venture, are not significant. Furthermore, our creditors have no recourse to the assets of the Cushing Connect Joint Venture legal entities.

A contract liability exists when an entity is obligated to perform future services for a customer for which the entity has received consideration. Since HEP may be required to perform future services for these deficiency payments received, the deferred revenues on our balance sheets were considered contract liabilities. A contract asset exists when an entity has a right to consideration in exchange for goods or services transferred to a customer.

As of September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, we expect to recognize $1.6$2.4 billion in revenue related to our unfulfilled performance obligations under the terms of our long-term throughput agreements and leases expiring in 20232024 through 2037. These agreements generally provide for changes in the minimum revenue guarantees annually for increases or decreases in the Producer Price Index (“PPI”) or Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (“FERC”) index, with certain contracts having provisions that limit the level of the rate increases or decreases. We expect to recognize revenue for these unfulfilled performance obligations as shown in the table below (amounts shown in table include both service and lease revenues):

Note 5:Leases

See Note 1 for further discussion of lease accounting.

Lessee Accounting
As a lessee, we lease land, buildings, pipelines, transportation and other equipment to support our operations. These leases can be categorized into operating and finance leases.

Our leases have remaining terms of less than 1 year to 22 years, some of which include options to extend the leases for up to 10 years.

Finance Lease Obligations
We have finance lease obligations related to vehicle leases with initial terms of 33 to 48 months. The total cost of assets under finance leases was $7.3$7.8 million and $6.0$7.6 million as of September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2021,2022, respectively, with accumulated depreciation of $4.2$4.1 million and $3.6$4.0 million as of September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2021,2022, respectively. We include depreciation of finance leases in depreciation and amortization in our consolidated statements of income.

In addition, we have a finance lease obligation related to a pipeline lease with an initial term of 10 years with one remaining subsequent renewal option for an additional 10 years.

Lessor Accounting
As discussed in Note 1, the majority of our contracts with customers meet the definition of a lease.

Substantially all of the assets supporting contracts meeting the definition of a lease have long useful lives, and we believe these assets will continue to have value when the current agreements expire due to our risk management strategy for protecting the residual fair value of the underlying assets bywhich includes performing ongoing maintenance during the lease term. HF Sinclair generally has the option to purchase assets located within HF Sinclair refinery boundaries, including refinery tankage, truck racks and refinery processing units, at fair market value when the related agreements expire.

During the ninethree months ended September 30,March 31, 2023, we amended agreements with HF Sinclair related to certain crude tank assets. The amended agreements were treated as lease modifications of previous agreements that met the criteria of sales-type leases. The modified agreements still met the criteria of sales-type leases; therefore, the residual net investment in lease is carried over to the new sales-type lease, and no gain or loss is recognized.

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we entered into new agreements and amendedmodified other agreements with HFCHF Sinclair related to our newly acquired Sinclair Transportation assets. Certain of these agreements met the criteria of sales-type leases. Under sales-type lease accounting, at the commencement date, the lessor recognizes a net investment in the lease, based on the estimated fair value of the underlying leased assets at contract inception, and derecognizes the underlying assets with the difference recorded as selling profit or loss arising from the lease. Because we recorded these assets at fair values under purchase price accounting, there was no gain or loss on these sales-type leases during the ninethree months ended September 30,March 31, 2022. The balance sheet impacts were composed of the following:

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we entered into new agreements and modified other agreements with HF Sinclair related to our Cheyenne assets, Tulsa West lube racks, various crude tanks and new Navajo tanks. These agreements met the criteria of sales-type leases since the underlying assets are not expected to have an alternative use at the end of the lease terms to anyone other than HF Sinclair. Under sales-type lease accounting, at the commencement date, the lessor recognizes a net investment in the lease, based on the estimated fair value of the underlying leased assets at contract inception, and derecognizes the underlying assets with the difference recorded as selling profit or loss arising from the lease. Therefore, we recognized a gain on sales-type leases during the nine months ended September 30, 2021The balance sheet impacts were composed of the following:

Note 6:Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value measurements are derived using inputs (assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability) including assumptions about risk. GAAP categorizes inputs used in fair value measurements into three broad levels as follows:
(Level 1) Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
(Level 2) Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active or can be corroborated by observable market data.
(Level 3) Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. This includes valuation techniques that involve significant unobservable inputs.

Financial Instruments
Our financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and debt. The carrying amounts of cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value due to the short-term maturity of these instruments. Debt consists of outstanding principal under our revolving credit agreement (which approximates fair value as interest rates are reset frequently at current interest rates) and our fixed interest rate senior notes.

Level 2 Financial Instruments
Our senior notes are measured at fair value using Level 2 inputs. The fair value of the senior notes is based on market values provided by a third-party bank, which were derived using market quotes for similar type debt instruments. See Note 10 for additional information.

- 20 -


Non-Recurring Fair Value Measurements
The HEP Transaction was accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting, with the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their respective acquisition date fair values at the Closing Date. The fair value measurements were based on a combination of valuation methods including discounted cash flows, the guideline public company method, the market approach and obsolescence adjusted replacement costs, all of which are Level 3 inputs.

For the net investments in sales-type leases recognized during the ninethree months ended September 30,March 31, 2022, the estimated fair value of the underlying leased assets at contract inception and the present value of the estimated unguaranteed residual asset at the end of the lease term are used in determining the net investment in leases recorded. The asset valuation estimates include Level 3 inputs based on a replacement cost valuation method.

We have additional transportation agreements with subsidiaries of HF Sinclair resulting from historical transactions consisting of pipeline, terminal and tankage assets contributed to us or acquired from subsidiaries of HF Sinclair. These transactions occurred while we were a consolidated variable interest entity of HF Sinclair; therefore, our basis in these agreements is zero and does not reflect a step-up in basis to fair value.


Note 9:Employees, Retirement and Incentive Plans

Direct support for our operations is provided by HLS, which utilizes personnel employed by HF Sinclair who are dedicated to performing services for us. Their costs, including salaries, bonuses, payroll taxes, benefits and other direct costs, are charged to us monthly in accordance with an omnibus agreement we have with HF Sinclair (the “Omnibus Agreement”). These employees participate in the retirement and benefit plans of HF Sinclair. Our share of retirement and benefit plan costs was $2.8$3.0 million and $2.1$2.4 million for the three months ended September 30,March 31, 2023 and 2022, and 2021, respectively, and $7.9 million and $6.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Under HLS’s secondment agreement with HF Sinclair (the “Secondment Agreement”), certain employees of HF Sinclair are seconded to HLS to provide operational and maintenance services for certain of our processing, refining, pipeline and tankage assets, and HLS reimburses HF Sinclair for its prorated portion of the wages, benefits, and other costs related to these employees.
We have a Long-Term Incentive Plan for employees and non-employee directors who perform services for us. The Long-Term Incentive Plan consists of five components: restricted or phantom units, performance units, unit options, unit appreciation rights and cash awards. Our accounting policy for the recognition of compensation expense for awards with pro-rata vesting (a significant proportion of our awards) is to expense the costs ratably over the vesting periods.

As of September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, we had two types of unit-based awards outstanding, which are described below. The compensation cost charged against income was $0.3$0.4 million and $0.6 million for the three months ended September 30,March 31, 2023 and 2022, and 2021, respectively, and $1.5 million and $1.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. We currently purchase units in the open market instead of issuing new units for settlement of all unit awards under our Long-Term Incentive Plan. As of September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, 2,500,000 units were authorized to be granted under our Long-Term Incentive Plan, of which 848,570771,313 were available to be granted, assuming no forfeitures of the unvested units and full achievement of goals for the unvested performance units.

Phantom Units
Under our Long-Term Incentive Plan, we grant phantom units to our non-employee directors and selected employees who perform services for us, with most awards vesting over a period of one to three years. Although full ownership of the units does not transfer to the recipients until the units vest, the recipients have distribution rights on these units from the date of grant.

- 24 -


The fair value of each phantom unit award is measured at the market price as of the date of grant and is amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for each separately vesting portion of the award.

A summary of phantom unit activity and changes during the ninethree months ended September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, is presented below:

The grant date fair values of phantom units that were granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 were $0.4 million. No units were granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2021. As of September 30, 2022, $0.5March 31, 2023, $1.1 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested phantom unit grants is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 0.81.1 years.
- 22 -



Performance Units
Under our Long-Term Incentive Plan, we grant performance units to selected officers who perform services for us. Performance units granted are payable in common units at the end of a three-year performance period based upon meeting certain criteria over the performance period. Under the terms of our performance unit grants, some awards are subject to the growth in our distributable cash flow per common unit over the performance period while other awards are subject to "financial performance" and "market performance." Financial performance is based on meeting certain earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") targets, while market performance is based on the relative standing of total unitholder return achieved by HEP compared to peer group companies. The number of units ultimately issued under these awards can range from 0% to 200%.

We did not grant any performance units during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Although common units are not transferred to the recipients until the performance units vest, the recipients have distribution rights with respect to the target number of performance units subject to the award from the date of grant at the same rate as distributions paid on our common units.

A summary of performance unit activity and changes for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, is presented below:

Note 10:Debt

Credit Agreement
In April 2021, we amended ourWe have a $1.2 billion senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Agreement”) decreasing the size of the facility from $1.4 billion to $1.2 billion and extending the maturity date tothat matures in July 27, 2025. In August 2022, the Credit Agreement was amended to, among other things, provide an alternative reference rate for LIBOR. The Credit Agreement is available to fund capital expenditures, investments, acquisitions, distribution payments, working capital and for general partnership purposes. The Credit Agreement is also available to fund letters of credit up to a $50 million sub-limit and continues to provide for an accordion feature that allows us to increase commitments under the Credit Agreement up to a maximum amount of $1.7 billion.

Our obligations under the Credit Agreement are collateralized by substantially all of our assets, and indebtedness under the Credit Agreement is guaranteed by our material, wholly owned subsidiaries. The Credit Agreement requires us to maintain compliance with certain financial covenants consisting of total leverage, senior secured leverage, and interest coverage. It also limits or restricts our ability to engage in certain activities. If, at any time prior to the maturity of the Credit Agreement, HEP obtains two investment grade credit ratings, the Credit Agreement will become unsecured and many of the covenants, limitations, and restrictions will be eliminated.

We may prepay all loans at any time without penalty, except for tranche breakage costs. If an event of default exists under the Credit Agreement, the lenders will be able to accelerate the maturity of all loans outstanding and exercise other rights and remedies. We were in compliance with the covenants under the Credit Agreement as of September 30, 2022.March 31, 2023.

Senior Notes
On April 8, 2022, we closed a private placement of $400 million in aggregate principal amount of 6.375% senior unsecured notes due in 2027 (the “6.375% Senior Notes”). The 6.375% Senior Notes were issued at par for net proceeds of approximately $393 million, after deducting the initial purchasers’ discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses. The total net proceeds from the offering of the 6.375% Senior Notes were used to partially repay outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement, increasing our available liquidity.

As of September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, we had $500 million aggregate principal amount of 5% senior unsecured notes due in 2028 (the “5% Senior Notes,” and together with the 6.375% Senior Notes, the “Senior Notes”).

The Senior Notes are unsecured and impose certain restrictive covenants, including limitations on our ability to incur additional indebtedness, make investments, sell assets, incur certain liens, pay distributions, enter into transactions with affiliates, and enter into mergers. We were in compliance with the restrictive covenants for the Senior Notes as of September 30, 2022. At any time when the Senior Notes are rated investment grade by either Moody’s or Standard & Poor’s and no default or event of default exists, we will not be subject to many of the foregoing covenants. Additionally, we have certain redemption rights at varying premiums over face value under the Senior Notes.

Indebtedness under the Senior Notes is guaranteed by all of our existing wholly owned subsidiaries (other than Holly Energy Finance Corp. and certain immaterial subsidiaries).

Note 13: Net Income Per Limited Partner Unit

Basic net income per unit applicable to the limited partners is calculated as net income attributable to the partners, adjusted for participating securities’ share in earnings, divided by the weighted average limited partners’ units outstanding. Diluted net income per unit assumes, when dilutive, the issuance of the net incremental units from phantom units and performance units. To the extent net income attributable to the partners exceeds or is less than cash distributions, this difference is allocated to the partners based on their weighted-average ownership percentage during the period. Our dilutive securities are immaterial for all periods presented.

The accrued environmental liability, net of expected recoveries from indemnifying parties, reflected in our consolidated balance sheets was $13.4$19.8 million and $3.9$19.5 million at September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2021,2022, of which $11.4$17.8 million and $2.4$17.5 million was classified as other long-term liabilities for September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2021,2022, respectively. These accruals include remediation and monitoring costs expected to be incurred over an extended period of time. Accrued environmental liabilities assumed in the Sinclair acquisition have preliminarily been fair valued at $10 million. Estimated liabilities could increase in the future as the purchase price allocation for the Sinclair Transportation acquisition is finalized and when the results of ongoing investigations become known, are considered probable and can be reasonably estimated.

Under the Omnibus Agreement and certain transportation agreements and purchase agreements with HF Sinclair and/or its subsidiaries, HF Sinclair has agreed to indemnify us, subject to certain monetary and time limitations, for environmental noncompliance and remediation liabilities associated with certain assets transferred to us from HF Sinclair and its subsidiaries and occurring or existing prior to the date of such transfers. Our consolidated balance sheets included additional accrued environmental liabilities of $0.3 million for HF Sinclair indemnified liabilities as of both September 30, 2022and December 31, 2021, respectively, and other assets included equal and offsetting balances representing amounts due from HF Sinclair related to indemnifications for environmental remediation liabilities.

Note 15: Contingencies

We are a party to various legal and regulatory proceedings, none of which we believe will have a material adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.


Note 16: Segment Information

Although financial information is reviewed by our chief operating decision makers from a variety of perspectives, they view the business in two reportable operating segments: (1) pipelines and terminals, and (2) refinery processing units. These operating segments adhere to the accounting polices used for our consolidated financial statements. For a discussion of these accounting policies and a summary of our derivation of revenue, see Note 1.

- 26 -


Our pipelines and terminals segment includes our petroleum product and crude pipelines and terminal, tankage and loading rack facilities that support refining and marketing operations of HF Sinclair and other refineries in the Mid-Continent, Southwest and Northwest regions of the United States.

Our Refinery Processing Unit segment consists of five refinery processing units at two of HF Sinclair's refining facility locations.

Pipelines and terminals have been aggregated as one reportable segment as both pipelinepipelines and terminals (1) have similar economic characteristics, (2) similarly provide logistics services of transportation and storage of petroleum products, (3) similarly support the petroleum refining business, including distribution of its products, (4) have principally the same customers and (5) are subject to similar regulatory requirements.

We evaluate the performance of each segment based on its respective operating income. Certain general and administrative expenses and interest and financing costs are excluded from segment operating income as they are not directly attributable to a specific reportable segment. Identifiable assets are those used by the segment, whereas other assets are principally equity method investments, cash, deposits and other assets that are not associated with a specific reportable segment.

Note 18: Osage Pipeline

On July 8, 2022, the Osage pipeline, which is owned by Osage (see Note 1) and carries crude oil from Cushing, Oklahoma to El Dorado, Kansas, suffered a release of crude oil. Our equity in earnings of equity method investments was reduced in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 by $20.3$0.9 million for our 50% share of incurred and estimated environmental remediation and recovery expenses associated with the release. From the date of the release through March 31, 2023, our equity in earnings of equity method investments was reduced by $18.5 million for our 50% share of incurred and estimated environmental remediation and recovery expenses associated with the release, net of our share of insurance proceeds received to date of $0.5is $3.0 million. AdditionalAny additional insurance recoveries will be recorded as they are received. OurIf the Osage insurance policy pays out in full, our share of the remaining insurance coverage is $12.5expected to be $10.0 million. As Osage is an equity method investment, its financial position and results are not consolidated into HEP financial statement line items. The financial impact of the Osage crude oil release is reflected on the consolidated balance sheets as a reduction in equity method investments and is reflected on the consolidated statement of income as a reduction in equity in earnings (loss) of equity method investments.

The pipeline resumed operations in the third quarter of 2022 and remediation efforts are underway. It may be necessary for Osage to expend or accrue additional amounts for environmental remediation or other release-related expenses in future periods, but we cannot estimate those amounts at this time. Future costs and accruals could have a material impact on our results of operations and cash flows in the period recorded; however, we do not expect them to have a material impact on our financial position.


Note 19: Subsequent Event

On May 3, 2023, we received a non-binding proposal from HF Sinclair to acquire all of the outstanding common units (“Common Units”) of HEP not beneficially owned by HF Sinclair or its affiliates in exchange for shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”) of HF Sinclair. Under the proposal, HEP unitholders would receive newly issued shares of Common Stock at a fixed exchange ratio of 0.3714 per each publicly held Common Unit, which was derived using the 30-day volume weighted average prices for each security as of market close on May 3, 2023 (the “Proposed HF Sinclair Transaction”). The proposal has been made to the board of directors of our ultimate general partner (the “Board”). It is anticipated that the Board will authorize the Conflicts Committee of the Board (the “Conflicts Committee”), which is comprised of independent members of the Board, to review, evaluate and negotiate the Proposed HF Sinclair Transaction. The Proposed HF Sinclair Transaction is subject to the negotiation and execution of a definitive agreement. There can be no assurance that a definitive agreement will be executed or that any transaction will be approved or consummated.

OVERVIEW

HEP, together with its consolidated subsidiaries, is a publicly held master limited partnership. On March 14, 2022 (the “Closing Date”), HFC and HEP announced the establishment of HF Sinclair, as the new parent holding company of HFC and HEP and their subsidiaries, and the completion of their respective acquisitions of Sinclair Oil Corporation (now known as Sinclair Oil LLC)LLC (“Sinclair Oil”)) and Sinclair Transportation Company LLC (“Sinclair Transportation”) from REH Company (referred(formerly known as The Sinclair Companies, and referred to herein as “Sinclair HoldCo”“REH Company”). On the Closing Date, HF Sinclair completed its acquisition of Sinclair Oil by effecting (a) a holding company merger with HFC surviving such merger as a direct wholly owned subsidiary of HF Sinclair (the “HFC Merger”), and (b) immediately following the HFC Merger, a contribution whereby Sinclair HoldCoREH Company contributed all of the equity interests of Hippo Holding LLC (now known as Sinclair Holding LLC), the parent company of Sinclair Oil (the “Target Company”), to HF Sinclair in exchange for shares of HF Sinclair, resulting in the Target Company becoming a direct wholly owned subsidiary of HF Sinclair (together with the HFC Merger, the “HFC Transactions”).

As of September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, HF Sinclair and its subsidiaries owned a 47% limited partner interest and the non-economic general partner interest in HEP.

Additionally, on the Closing Date and immediately prior to consummation of the HFC Transactions, HEP acquired all of the outstanding equity interests of Sinclair Transportation from Sinclair HoldCoREH Company in exchange for 21 million newly issued common limited partner units of HEP (the “HEP Units”), representing 16.6% of the pro forma outstanding HEP Units with a value of approximately $349 million based on HEP’s fully diluted common limited partner units outstanding and closing unit price on March 11, 2022, and cash consideration equal to $329.0 million, inclusive of final working capital adjustments for an aggregate transaction value of $678.0 million (the “HEP Transaction” and together with the HFC Transactions, the “Sinclair Transactions”). The cash consideration was funded through a draw under HEP’s senior secured revolving credit facility. The HEP Transaction was conditioned on the closing of the HFC Transactions, which occurred immediately following the HEP Transaction.

Sinclair Transportation, together with its subsidiaries, owned Sinclair HoldCo’sREH Company’s integrated crude and refined products pipelines and terminal assets, including approximately 1,200 miles of integrated crude and refined product pipeline supporting the Sinclair HoldCoREH Company refineries and other third-party refineries, eight product terminals and two crude terminals with approximately 4.5 million barrels of operated storage. In addition, HEP acquired Sinclair Transportation’s interests in three pipeline joint ventures for crude gathering and product offtake including: Saddle Butte Pipeline III, LLC (25.06% non-operated interest); Pioneer PipelineInvestments Corp. (49.995% non-operated interest); and UNEV Pipeline, LLC (“UNEV”) (the 25% non-operated interest not already owned by HEP, resulting in UNEV Pipeline, LLC becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of HEP).

See Notes 1 and 2 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in “Item 1. Financial Statements” for additional information regarding the acquisitions.

Table o
Through our subsidiaries and joint ventures, we own and/or operate petroleum product and crude oil pipelines, terminal, tankage and loading rack facilities and refinery processing units that support the refining and marketing operations of HF Sinclair and other refineries in the Mid-Continent, Southwest and Northwest regions of the United States. HEP, through its subsidiaries and joint ventures, owns and/or operates petroleum product and crude pipelines, tankage and terminals in Colorado, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Nevada, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Texas, Utah, Washington and Wyoming as well as refinery processing units in Utah and Kansas.

Table o
We generate revenues by charging tariffs for transporting petroleum products and crude oil through our pipelines, by charging fees for terminalling and storing refined products and other hydrocarbons, providing other services at our storage tanks and terminals and charging a tolling fee per barrel or thousand standard cubic feet of feedstock throughput in our refinery processing units. We do not take ownership of products that we transport, terminal, store or process, and therefore, we are not directly exposed to changes in commodity prices.

We believe the long-term global refined product demand and U.S. crude production should support high utilization rates for the refineries we serve, which in turn should support volumes in our product pipelines, crude gathering systems and terminals.

HF Sinclair Proposal
On May 3, 2023, we received a non-binding proposal from HF Sinclair to acquire all of the outstanding common units (“Common Units”) of HEP not beneficially owned by HF Sinclair or its affiliates in exchange for shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”) of HF Sinclair. Under the proposal, HEP unitholders would receive newly issued shares of Common Stock at a fixed exchange ratio of 0.3714 per each publicly held Common Unit, which was derived using the 30-day volume weighted average prices for each security as of market close on May 3, 2023 (the “Proposed HF Sinclair Transaction”). The proposal has been made to the board of directors of our ultimate general partner (the “Board”). It is anticipated that the Board will authorize the Conflicts Committee of the Board (the “Conflicts Committee”), which is comprised of independent members of the Board, to review, evaluate and negotiate the Proposed HF Sinclair Transaction. The Proposed HF Sinclair Transaction is subject to the negotiation and execution of a definitive agreement. There can be no assurance that a definitive agreement will be executed or that any transaction will be approved or consummated.

Market Developments
Our results for the third quarter and the ninethree months ended September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 were favorably impacted by global demand for transportation fuels, lubricants and transportation and terminal services having returned to pre-pandemic levels. We expect our customers will continue to adjust refinery production levels commensurate with market demand. The extent to which HEP’s future results are affected by the COVID-19 pandemic or volatile regional and global economic conditions will depend on various factors and consequences beyond our control. However, we have long-term customer contracts with minimum volume commitments, which have expiration dates from 20232024 to 2037. These minimum volume commitments accounted for approximately 70%72% and 69% of our total tariffs and fees billed to customers for both the ninethree months ended September 30,March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022, and September 30, 2021.respectively. We are currently not aware of any reasons that would prevent such customers from making the minimum payments required under the contracts or potentially making payments in excess of the minimum payments. In addition to thesethese payments, we also expect to collect payments for services provided to uncommitted shippers.

Investment in Joint Venture
On October 2, 2019, HEP Cushing LLC (“HEP Cushing”), a wholly owned subsidiary of HEP, and Plains Marketing, L.P., a wholly owned subsidiary of Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. (“Plains”), formed a 50/50 joint venture, Cushing Connect Pipeline & Terminal LLC (the “Cushing Connect Joint Venture”), for (i) the development, construction, ownership and operation of a new 160,000 barrel per day common carrier crude oil pipeline (the “Cushing Connect Pipeline”) that will connect the Cushing, Oklahoma crude oil hub to the Tulsa, Oklahoma refining complex owned by a subsidiary of HF Sinclair and (ii) the ownership and operation of 1.5 million barrels of crude oil storage in Cushing, Oklahoma (the “Cushing Connect JV Terminal”). The Cushing Connect JV Terminal went in service during the second quarter of 2020, and the Cushing Connect Pipeline was placed into service at the end of the third quarter of 2021. Long-term commercial agreements have been entered into to support the Cushing Connect Joint Venture assets.

The Cushing Connect Joint Venture has contracted with an affiliate of HEP to manage the construction and operation of the Cushing Connect Pipeline and with an affiliate of Plains to manage the operation of the Cushing Connect JV Terminal. The total Cushing Connect Joint Venture investment will generally be shared equally among HEP and Plains. However, we are solely responsible for any Cushing Connect Pipeline construction costs that exceed the budget by more than 10%. HEP estimates its share of the cost of the Cushing Connect JV Terminal contributed by Plains and Cushing Connect Pipeline construction costs are approximately $73 million, including approximately $5 million of Cushing Connect Pipeline construction costs exceeding the budget by more than 10% borne solely by HEP.

Agreements with HF Sinclair
We serve HF Sinclair’s refineries under long-term pipeline, terminal, tankage and refinery processing unit throughput agreements expiring from 20232024 to 2037. Under these agreements, HF Sinclair agrees to transport, store, and process throughput volumes of refined product, crude oil and feedstocks on our pipelines, terminal, tankage, loading rack facilities and refinery processing units that result in minimum annual payments to us. These minimum annual payments or revenues are subject to annual rate adjustments on July 1st each year based on the PPI or the FERC index. On December 17, 2020, FERC established a new price index for the five-year period commencing July 1, 2021 and ending June 30, 2026, in which common carriers charging indexed rates were permitted to adjust their indexed ceilings annually by Producer Price Index plus 0.78%. FERC received requests for rehearing of its December 17, 2020 order, and on January 20, 2022, FERC revised the index level used to determine the annual changes to interstate oil pipeline rate ceilings to Producer Price Index minus 0.21%. The order required the recalculation of the July 1, 2021 index ceilings to be effective as of March 1, 2022. As of September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, these agreements with HF Sinclair require minimum annualized payments to us of $446$457 million.

If HF Sinclair fails to meet its minimum volume commitments under the agreements in any quarter, it will be required to pay us the amount of any shortfall in cash by the last day of the month following the end of the quarter. Under certain of the agreements, a shortfall payment may be applied as a credit in the following four quarters after minimum obligations are met.

A significant reduction in revenues under these agreements could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

Table o
On June 1, 2020, HFC announced plans to permanently cease petroleum refining operations at its Cheyenne Refinery (the “Cheyenne Refinery”) and to convert certain assets at that refinery to renewable diesel production. HFC subsequently began winding down petroleum refining operations at its Cheyenne Refinery on August 3, 2020.

On February 8, 2021, HEP and HFC finalized and executed new agreements for HEP's Cheyenne assets with the following terms, in each case effective January 1, 2021: (1) a ten-year lease with two five-year renewal option periods for HFC’s (and now HF Sinclair’s) use of certain HEP tank and rack assets in the Cheyenne Refinery to facilitate renewable diesel production with an annual lease payment of approximately $5 million, (2) a five-year contango service fee arrangement that will utilize HEP tank assets inside the Cheyenne Refinery where HFC (and now HF Sinclair) will pay a base tariff to HEP for available crude oil storage and HFC (and now HF Sinclair) and HEP will split any profits generated on crude oil contango opportunities and (3) a $10 million one-time cash payment from HFC to HEP for the termination of the existing minimum volume commitment.

Under certain provisions of an omnibus agreement we have with HF Sinclair (the “Omnibus Agreement”), we pay HF Sinclair an annual administrative fee, currently $5.0 million, for the provision by HF Sinclair or its affiliates of various general and administrative services to us. In connection with the HEP Transaction, we pay HF Sinclair a temporary monthlyThis fee of $62,500 relating to transition services to be provided to HEP by HF Sinclair. Neither the annual administrative fee nor the temporary monthly fee includesdoes not include the salaries of personnel employed by HF Sinclair who perform services for us on behalf of Holly Logistic Services, L.L.C. (“HLS”), or the cost of their employee benefits, which are separately charged to us by HF Sinclair. We also reimburse HF Sinclair and its affiliates for direct expenses they incur on our behalf.

Under HLS’s Secondment Agreement with HF Sinclair, certain employees of HF Sinclair are seconded to HLS to provide operational and maintenance services for certain of our processing, refining, pipeline and tankage assets, and HLS reimburses HF Sinclair for its prorated portion of the wages, benefits, and other costs of these employees for our benefit.

We have a long-term strategic relationship with HFC (and now HF Sinclair) that has historically facilitated our growth. OurSubject to the final negotiated terms of a definitive agreement with HF Sinclair on the Proposed HF Sinclair Transaction and the discretion of our Board, our future growth plans include organic projects around our existing assets and select investments or acquisitions that enhance our service platform while creating accretion for our unitholders. While in the near term, any acquisitions would be subject to economic conditions discussed in “Overview - Market Developments” above, we also expect over the longer term to continue to work with HF Sinclair on logistic asset acquisitions in conjunction with HF Sinclair’s refinery acquisition strategies. See “Overview” above for a discussion of the Sinclair Transactions.

Furthermore, as demonstrated by our recent transaction with Sinclair HoldCo, we plan to continue to pursue third-party logistic asset acquisitions that are accretive to our unitholders and increase the diversity of our revenues.

Indicators of Goodwill and Long-lived Asset Impairment
During the three months ended March 31, 2021, changes in our agreements with HFC related to our Cheyenne assets resulted in an increase in the net book value of our Cheyenne reporting unit due to sales-type lease accounting, which led us to determine indicators of potential goodwill impairment for our Cheyenne reporting unit were present.

The estimated fair values of our Cheyenne reporting unit were derived using a combination of income and market approaches. The income approach reflects expected future cash flows based on anticipated gross margins, operating costs, and capital expenditures. The market approaches include both the guideline public company and guideline transaction methods. Both methods utilize pricing multiples derived from historical market transactions of other like-kind assets. These fair value measurements involve significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 inputs). See Note 6 for further discussion of Level 3 inputs.

Our interim impairment testing of our Cheyenne reporting unit goodwill identified an impairment charge of $11.0 million, which was recorded in the three months ended March 31, 2021.

We performed our annual goodwill impairment testing qualitatively as of July 1, 2022, and determined it was not more likely than not that the carrying amount of each reporting unit was greater than its fair value. Therefore, a quantitative test was not necessary, and no additional impairment of goodwill was recorded.

Table o
(1)Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) is calculated as net income attributable to the partners plus or minus (i) interest expense, net of(ii) interest income, (ii)(iii) state income tax expense and (iii)(iv) depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as EBITDA plus (i) goodwill impairment, (ii) acquisition integration and regulatory costs, (iii) our share of Osage environmental expensesremediation costs included in equity in earnings of equity method investments, (ii) acquisition integration and (iv)regulatory costs, (iii) tariffs and fees not included in revenues due to impacts from lease accounting for certain tariffs and fees minus (v) gain on sales-type leases, (vi) gain on significant asset sales and (vii)(iv) pipeline lease payments not included in operating costs and expenses. Portions of our minimum guaranteed pipeline and terminal tariffs and fees for assets subject to sales-type lease accounting are recorded as interest income with the remaining amounts recorded as a reduction in net investment in leases. Similarly, certain pipeline lease payments were previously recorded as operating costs and expenses, but the underlying lease was reclassified from an operating lease to a financing lease, and these payments are now recorded as interest expense and reductions in the lease liability. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not calculations based upon generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"(“GAAP”). However, the amounts included in the EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA calculations are derived from amounts included in our consolidated financial statements. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as alternatives to net income attributable to HEPthe partners or operating income, as indications of our operating performance or as alternatives to operating cash flow as a measure of liquidity. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are presented here because they are widely used financial indicators used by investors and analysts to measure performance. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are also used by our management for internal analysis and as a basis for compliance with financial covenants.

(2)Distributable cash flow is not a calculation based upon GAAP. However, the amounts included in the calculation are derived from amounts presented in our consolidated financial statements, with the general exceptionsexception of maintenance capital expenditures. Distributable cash flow should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net income or operating income as an indication of our operating performance or as an alternative to operating cash flow as a measure of liquidity. Distributable cash flow is not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Distributable cash flow is presented here because it is a widely accepted financial indicator used by investors to compare partnership performance. It is also used by management for internal analysis and for our performance units. We believe that this measure provides investors an enhanced perspective of the operating performance of our assets and the cash our business is generating.

Excluding these items, net income attributable to the partners for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 were $168.6 million ($1.39 per basic and diluted limited partner unit) and $150.4 million ($1.43 per basic and diluted limited partner unit), respectively. The increase in earnings was mainly due to net income from Sinclair Transportation, which was acquired on March 14, 2022, higher revenues on our UNEV pipeline and higher net income from our Cushing Connect Joint Venture as the Cushing Connect pipeline which went into service in September 2021; partially offset by higher interest expense and higher operating costs and expenses. In addition, the nine months ended September 30, 2021 included the recognition of the $10 million termination fee related to the termination of HF Sinclair's minimum volume commitment on our Cheyenne assets.

Revenues
Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, were $405.0 million, an increase of $29.0 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase was mainly attributable to revenues on our recently acquired Sinclair Transportation assets and increased revenues from our UNEV assets, partially offset by lower revenues on our Cheyenne assets as a result of the conversion of HF Sinclair’s Cheyenne refinery to renewable diesel production and lower revenues on our product pipelines servicing HF Sinclair's Navajo refinery. The nine months ended September 30, 2021 included the recognition of the $10 million termination fee related to the termination of HF Sinclair's minimum volume commitment on our Cheyenne assets.

Revenues from our refined product pipelines were $83.7 million, a decrease of $1.0 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Shipments averaged 180.3 mbpd compared to 165.8 mbpd for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The volume increase was mainly due to volumes on our recently acquired Sinclair Transportation assets and higher volumes on our UNEV pipeline, partially offset by lower volumes on our product pipelines servicing HF Sinclair's Navajo refinery due to lower throughput at the refinery. We recognized a significant portion of the Sinclair Transportation refined product pipeline tariffs as interest income under sales-type lease accounting.

Revenues from our intermediate pipelines were $23.0 million, an increase of $0.5 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Shipments averaged 126.6 mbpd compared to 131.9 mbpd for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The decrease in volumes was mainly due to lower throughputs on our intermediate pipelines servicing HF Sinclair's Navajo refinery while revenue increased due to contractual minimum volume guarantees and rate increases that went into effect on July 1, 2022.

Revenues from our crude pipelines were $103.6 million, an increase of $8.6 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Shipments averaged 594.2 mbpd compared to 393.0 mbpd for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase in volumes was mainly attributable to our Cushing Connect pipeline, which went into service in September 2021, volumes on our recently acquired Sinclair Transportation crude pipelines and higher volumes on our crude pipeline systems in New Mexico and Texas. The increase in revenues was mainly due to our recently acquired Sinclair Transportation crude pipelines and higher volumes on our crude pipelines in New Mexico and Texas. Revenues did not increase in proportion to volumes due to our recognition of most of the Cushing Connect pipeline tariffs and a significant portion of Sinclair Transportation crude pipeline tariffs as interest income under sales-type lease accounting.

Revenues from terminal, tankage and loading rack fees were $126.0 million, an increase of $17.6 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Refined products and crude oil terminalled in the facilities averaged 575.2 mbpd compared to 436.9 mbpd for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Volumes increased mainly due to volumes on our

recently acquired Sinclair Transportation assets and higher throughputs at HF Sinclair's Tulsa refinery. Revenues increased mainly due to revenues on our recently acquired Sinclair Transportation assets, higher butane blending revenues, and higher revenues on our Tulsa assets. In addition, the nine months ended September 30, 2021 included the recognition of the $10 million termination fee related to the termination of HF Sinclair's minimum volume commitment on our Cheyenne assets as a result of the conversion of the HF Sinclair Cheyenne refinery to renewable diesel production.

Revenues from refinery processing units were $68.7 million, an increase of $3.3 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Throughputs averaged 69.9 mbpd for both the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021. Revenues increased mainly due to higher natural gas cost recoveries in revenues as well as rate increases that went into effect on July 1, 2022.

Operations Expense
Operations expense (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, increased by $30.8 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase was mainly due to operations expenses associated with our recently acquired Sinclair Transportation assets as well as higher employee costs, natural gas costs, maintenance costs and materials and supplies costs, partially offset by lower rentals and leases. In addition, the nine months ended September 30, 2021 included a goodwill impairment charge of $11.0 million related to our Cheyenne reporting unit.

Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, increased by $2.5 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase was mainly due to depreciation on our recently acquired Sinclair Transportation assets partially offset by the acceleration of depreciation on certain of our Cheyenne tanks in 2021 as well as retirement of assets due to sales-type lease accounting.

General and Administrative
General and administrative costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, increased by $3.1 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021 mainly due to higher legal and professional expenses incurred in the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Equity in earnings of Osage Pipe Line Company, LLC decreased for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, mainly due to our 50% share of environmental remediation and recovery expenses, net of insurance recoveries to date, associated with the release of crude oil on the Osage pipeline. Additional insurance recoveries will be recorded as they are received. Our share of the remaining insurance coverage is $12.5 million. The pipeline resumed operations in the third quarter of 2022 and remediation efforts are underway. Equity in earnings of Cheyenne Pipeline LLC increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, mainly due to the recognition in revenue of prior contractual minimum commitment billings. Pioneer Investments Corp. and Saddle Butte Pipeline III, LLC were acquired during the first quarter of 2022 as part of the HEP Transaction.

Interest Expense, including Amortization
Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, totaled $57.0 million, an increase of $16.4 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase was mainly due to our April 2022 issuance of $400 million in aggregate principal amount of 6.375% senior unsecured notes maturing in April 2027 related to the funding of the cash portion of the Sinclair Transportation acquisition. In addition, market interest rates increased on our senior secured revolving credit

Interest Income
Interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, totaled $61.2 million, an increase of $41.2 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase was mainly due to higher sales-type lease interest income from our recently acquired Sinclair Transportation pipelines and terminals and our Cushing Connect Pipeline, which was placed into service at the end of the third quarter of 2021.

State Income Tax Expense
We recorded state income tax expense of $83,000 and $60,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. All tax expense is solely attributable to the Texas margin tax.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Overview
In April 2021, we amended our Credit Agreement decreasing the size of the facility from $1.4 billion toWe have a $1.2 billion and extending the maturity date tosenior secured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Agreement”) that matures July 27, 2025. In August 2022, the Credit Agreement was amended to, among other things, provide an alternative reference rate for LIBOR. The Credit Agreement is available to fund capital expenditures, investments, acquisitions, distribution payments and working capital and for general partnership purposes. The Credit Agreement is also available to fund letters of credit up to a $50 million sub-limit and continues to provide for an accordion feature that allows us to increase commitments under the Credit Agreement up to a maximum amount of $1.7 billion.

During the ninethree months ended September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, we received advances totaling $460.0$42.0 million and repaid $594.0$58.5 million under the Credit Agreement, resulting in a net decrease of $134.0$16.5 million and an outstanding balance of $706.0$651.5 million at September 30, 2022.March 31, 2023. As of September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, we have no letters of credit outstanding under the Credit Agreement and the available capacity under the Credit Agreement was $494.0$548.5 million. Amounts repaid under the Credit Agreement may be reborrowed from time to time.

On April 8, 2022, we closed a private placement of $400 million in aggregate principal amount of 6.375% senior unsecured notes due in 2027 (the “6.375% Senior Notes”). The 6.375% Senior Notes were issued at par for net proceeds of approximately $393 million, after deducting the initial purchasers’ discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses. The total net proceeds from the offering of the 6.375% Senior Notes were used to partially repay outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement, increasing our available liquidity.
As of September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, we had $500 million in aggregate principal amount of 5% Senior Notes due in 2028 (the “5% Senior Notes”, and together with the 6.375% Senior Notes, the “Senior Notes”).
We have a continuous offering program under which we may issue and sell common units from time to time, representing limited partner interests, up to an aggregate gross sales amount of $200 million. We did not issue any units under this program during the ninethree months ended September 30, 2022.March 31, 2023. As of September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, HEP has issued 2,413,153 units under this program, providing $82.3 million in gross proceeds.

Under our registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) using a “shelf” registration process, we currently have the authority to raise up to $2.0 billion by offering securities, through one or more prospectus supplements that would describe, among other things, the specific amounts, prices and terms of any securities offered and how the proceeds would be used. Any proceeds from the sale of securities are expected to be used for general business purposes, which may include, among other things, funding acquisitions of assets or businesses, working capital, capital expenditures, investments in subsidiaries, the retirement of existing debt and/or the repurchase of common units or other securities.

We believe our current sources of liquidity, including cash balances, future internally generated funds, any future issuances of debt or equity securities and funds available under the Credit Agreement will provide sufficient resources to meet our working capital liquidity, capital expenditure and quarterly distribution needs for the foreseeable future. Future securities issuances, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors.

In August 2022,February 2023, we paid a regular quarterly cash distribution of $0.35 on all units in an aggregate amount of $44.3 million.

On OctoberApril 20, 2022,2023, we announced our cash distribution for the thirdfirst quarter of 20222023 of $0.35 per unit, or $1.40 on an annualized basis. Looking forward,Subject to the final negotiated terms of a definitive agreement with HF Sinclair on the Proposed HF Sinclair Transaction and the discretion of our Board, we expect our future cash distribution will continue as long as we remain committed to our capital allocation strategy and expect to reach our short-term leverage target of 3.5x in the first half of 2023.a public company.

We paid $112.4$37.0 million in regular quarterly cash distributions to our limited partners, and distributed $8.7$0.9 million to our noncontrolling interests. In addition, we received $21.3 million in contributions from noncontrolling interests during the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

Capital Requirements
Our pipeline and terminalling operations are capital intensive, requiring investments to maintain, expand, upgrade or enhance existing operations and to meet environmental and operational regulations. Our capital requirements have consisted of, and are expected to continue to consist of, maintenance capital expenditures and expansion capital expenditures. “Maintenance capital expenditures” represent capital expenditures to replace partially or fully depreciated assets to maintain the operating capacity of existing assets. Maintenance capital expenditures include expenditures required to maintain equipment reliability, tankage and pipeline integrity, safety and to address environmental regulations. “Expansion capital expenditures” represent capital expenditures to expand the operating capacity of existing or new assets, whether through construction or acquisition.but exclude acquisitions. Expansion capital expenditures include expenditures to acquire assets, to grow our business and to expand existing facilities, such as projects that increase throughput capacity on our pipelines and in our terminals. Repair and maintenance expenses associated with existing assets that are minor in nature and do not extend the useful life of existing assets are charged to operating expenses as incurred.

Each year the board of directors of HLS, our ultimate general partner, approves our annual capital budget, which specifies capital projects that our management is authorized to undertake. Additionally, at times when conditions warrant or as new opportunities arise, additional projects may be approved. The funds allocated for a particular capital project may be expended over a period in excess of a year, depending on the time required to complete the project. Therefore, our planned capital expenditures for a given year consist of expenditures approved for capital projects included in the current year’s capital budget as well as, in certain cases, expenditures approved for capital projects in capital budgets for prior years. Our current 20222023 capital forecast includes forecasted expenditures for our recently acquired Sinclair Transportation assets and is comprised of approximately $20$25 million to $30$35 million for maintenance capital expenditures $25and $5 million to $30 million for refinery unit turnarounds and $10 million to $15 million for expansion capital expenditures and our share of Joint Venture investments. In addition to our capital budget, we may spend funds periodically to perform capital upgrades or additions to our assets where a customer reimburses us for such costs. The upgrades or additions would generally benefit the customer over the remaining life of the related service agreements.
We expect that our currently planned sustaining and maintenance capital expenditures, as well as planned expenditures for acquisitions and capital development projects, will be funded with cash generated by operations. We expect that, to the extent necessary, we can raise additional funds from time to time through equity or debt financings in the public and private capital markets.

Credit Agreement
In April 2021, we amended ourWe have a $1.2 billion Credit Agreement decreasing the commitments under the facility from $1.4 billion to $1.2 billion and extending the maturity date tothat matures in July 27, 2025. In August 2022, the Credit Agreement was amended to, among other things, provide an alternative reference rate for LIBOR. The Credit Agreement is available to fund capital expenditures, investments, acquisitions, distribution payments and working capital and for general partnership purposes. The Credit Agreement is also available to fund letters of credit up to a $50 million sub-limit, and it continues to provide for an accordion feature that allows us to increase the commitments under the Credit Agreement up to a maximum amount of $1.7 billion.

Our obligations under the Credit Agreement are collateralized by substantially all of our assets, and indebtedness under the Credit Agreement is guaranteed by our material, wholly owned subsidiaries. The Credit Agreement requires us to maintain compliance with certain financial covenants consisting of total leverage, senior secured leverage, and interest coverage. It also limits or restricts our ability to engage in certain activities. If, at any time prior to the expiration of the Credit Agreement, HEP obtains two investment grade credit ratings, the Credit Agreement will become unsecured and many of the covenants, limitations and restrictions will be eliminated.

We may prepay all loans at any time without penalty, except for tranche breakage costs. If an event of default exists under the Credit Agreement, the lenders will be able to accelerate the maturity of all loans outstanding and exercise other rights and remedies. We were in compliance with the covenants under the Credit Agreement as of September 30, 2022.March 31, 2023.

Senior Notes
As of September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, we had $500 million in aggregate principal amount of 5% Senior Notes due in 2028.2028 (the “5% Senior Notes,” and together with the 6.375% Senior Notes, the “Senior Notes”).

On April 8, 2022, we closed a private placement of $400 million in aggregate principal amount of the 6.375% Senior Notes. The 6.375% Senior Notes were issued at par for net proceeds of approximately $393 million, after deducting the initial purchasers’ discounts and commissions and offering expenses. The total net proceeds from the offering of the 6.375% Senior Notes were used to partially repay outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement, increasing our available liquidity.

The Senior Notes are unsecured and impose certain restrictive covenants, including limitations on our ability to incur additional indebtedness, make investments, sell assets, incur certain liens, pay distributions, enter into transactions with affiliates, and enter into mergers. We were in compliance with the restrictive covenants for the Senior Notes as of September 30, 2022.March 31, 2023. At any time when the Senior Notes are rated investment grade by either Moody’s or Standard & Poor’s and no default or event of default exists, we will not be subject to many of the foregoing covenants. Additionally, we have certain redemption rights at varying premiums over face value under the Senior Notes.

Indebtedness under the Senior Notes is guaranteed by all of our existing wholly owned subsidiaries (other than Holly Energy Finance Corp. and certain immaterial subsidiaries).

Contractual Obligations
There were no significant changes to our long-term contractual obligations during the quarter ended September 30, 2022.March 31, 2023.

Impact of Inflation
After being relatively moderate in recent years, PPI in the United States increased significantly in 2023 and 2022. PPI has increased an average of 2.9%5% annually over the past five calendar years, including an increase of 13.5% in 2022 and 8.9% in 2021 and a decrease of 1.3% in 2020. PPI for the first nine months of 2022 increased by 14.7% over the first nine months of 2021.

The substantial majority of our revenues are generated under long-term contracts that provide for increases or decreases in our rates and minimum revenue guarantees annually for increases or decreases in the PPI. These annual rate adjustments generally occur on July 1st each year based on the PPI or the FERC index increase or decrease during the prior year. Certain of these contracts have provisions that limit the level of annual PPI percentage rate increases or decreases, and the majority of our rates do not decrease when PPI is negative. The substantial majority of our rates and minimum revenue guarantees used the 2021 PPI increase of 8.9% in the July 1, 2022 rate increase calculations.

A significant and prolonged period of high inflation or a significant and prolonged period of negative inflation could adversely affect our cash flows and results of operations if costs increase at a rate greater than the fees we charge our shippers. However, for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the fees we charged our shippers increased at a rate greater than our inflationary cost increase.increase for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Environmental Matters
Our operation of pipelines, terminals, and associated facilities in connection with the transportation and storage of refined products and crude oil is subject to stringent and complex federal, state, and local laws and regulations governing the discharge of materials into the environment, or otherwise relating to the protection of the environment. As with the industry generally, compliance with existing and anticipated laws and regulations increases our overall cost of business, including our capital costs to construct, maintain, and upgrade equipment and facilities. While these laws and regulations affect our maintenance capital expenditures and net income, we believe that they do not affect our competitive position given that the operations of our competitors are similarly affected. However, these laws and regulations, and the interpretation or enforcement thereof, are subject to frequent change by regulatory authorities, and we are unable to predict the ongoing cost to us of complying with these laws and regulations or the future impact of these laws and regulations on our operations. Violation of environmental laws, regulations, and permits can result in the imposition of significant administrative, civil and criminal penalties, injunctions, and construction bans or delays. A major discharge of hydrocarbons or hazardous substances into the environment could, to the extent the event is not insured, subject us to substantial expense, including both the cost to comply with applicable laws and regulations and claims made by employees, neighboring landowners and other third parties for personal injury and property damage.

Contamination resulting from spills of refined products and crude oil is not unusual within the petroleum pipeline industry. Historic spills along our existing pipelines and terminals as a result of past operations have resulted in contamination of the environment, including soils and groundwater. Some environmental laws impose liability without regard to fault or the legality of the original act on certain classes of persons that contributed to the releases of hazardous substances or petroleum hydrocarbon substances into the environment. These persons include the owner or operator of the site or sites where the release occurred and companies that disposed of, or arranged for the disposal of, the hazardous substances found at the site. Such persons may be subject to strict, joint and several liability for the costs of cleaning up the hazardous substances that have been released into the environment, for damages to natural resources, and for the costs of certain health studies. Site conditions, including soils and groundwater, are being evaluated at a few of our properties where operations may have resulted in releases of hydrocarbons and other wastes.
There are environmental remediation projects in progress, including assessment and monitoring activities, that relate to certain assets acquired from HF Sinclair. Under the Omnibus Agreement and certain transportation agreements and purchase agreements with HF Sinclair, HF Sinclair has agreed to indemnify us, subject to certain monetary and time limitations, for environmental noncompliance and remediation liabilities associated with certain assets transferred to us from HF Sinclair and occurring or existing prior to the date of such transfers.
We have an environmental agreement with Delek with respect to pre-closing environmental costs and liabilities relating to the pipelines and terminals acquired from Delek in 2005, under which Delek will indemnify us subject to certain monetary and time limitations.

At September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, we had an accrual of $13.4$19.8 million related to environmental clean-up projects for which we have assumed liability, including accrued environmental liabilities assumed in the Sinclair Transportation acquisition that have preliminarily been fair valued at $10$14.7 million as of the acquisition date, or for which the indemnity provided for by HF Sinclair has expired or will expire. There are environmental remediation projects in progress, including assessment and monitoring activities, that relate to certain assets acquired from HF Sinclair. Certain of these projects were underway prior to our purchase, are covered under the HF Sinclair environmental indemnification discussed above, and represent liabilities retained by HF Sinclair.

On July 8, 2022, the Osage pipeline, which carries crude oil from Cushing, Oklahoma to El Dorado, Kansas, suffered a release of crude oil. Our equity in earnings (loss) of equity method investments was reduced in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 by $20.3$0.9 million for our 50% share of incurred and estimated environmental remediation and recovery expenses associated with the release. From the date of the release through March 31, 2023, our equity in earnings of equity method investments was reduced by $18.5 million for our 50% share of incurred and estimated environmental remediation and recovery expenses associated with the release, net of our share of insurance proceeds received to date of $0.5$3.0 million. AdditionalAny additional insurance recoveries will be recorded as they are received. OurIf the Osage insurance policy pays out in full, our share of the remaining insurance coverage is $12.5expected to be $10.0 million. The pipeline resumed operations in the third quarter of 2022 and remediation efforts are underway. It may be necessary for Osage to expend or accrue additional amounts for environmental remediation or other release-related expenses in future periods, but we cannot estimate those amounts at this time. Future costs and accruals could have a material impact on our results of operations and cash flows in the period recorded; however, we do not expect them to have a material impact on our financial position.


CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements. Actual results could materially differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions and have an impact on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows. Our significant accounting policies are described in “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Operations—Critical Accounting Policies” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.2022. Certain critical accounting policies that materially affect the amounts recorded in our consolidated financial statements include revenue recognition, assessing the possible impairment of certain long-lived assets and goodwill, and assessing contingent liabilities for probable losses. There have been no changes to these policies in 2022.2023. We consider these policies to be critical to understanding the judgments that are involved and the uncertainties that could impact our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

RISK MANAGEMENT

The market risk inherent in our debt positions is the potential change arising from increases or decreases in interest rates as discussed below.

At September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, we had an outstanding principal balance of $900 million on our Senior Notes. A change in interest rates generally would affect the fair value of the Senior Notes, but not our earnings or cash flows. At September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, the fair value of our Senior Notes was $822.6$866.9 million. We estimate a hypothetical 10% change in the yield-to-maturity applicable to the Senior Notes at September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 would result in a change of approximately $27.2$22.3 million in the fair value of the underlying Senior Notes.

Table o
For the variable rate Credit Agreement, changes in interest rates would affect cash flows, but not the fair value. At September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement were $706.0$651.5 million. A hypothetical 10% change in interest rates applicable to the Credit Agreement would not materially affect our cash flows.

Our operations are subject to catastrophic losses, operational hazards and unforeseen interruptions, including but not limited to fire, explosion, releases or spills, cyberattacks, weather-related perils, vandalism, power failures, mechanical failures and other events beyond our control. We maintain various insurance coverages, including general liability, property damage, business interruption and cyber insurance, subject to certain deductibles and insurance policy terms and conditions. We are not fully insured against certain risks because such risks are not fully insurable, coverage is unavailable, or premium costs, in our judgment, do not justify such expenditures.

We have a risk management oversight committee that is made up of members from our senior management. This committee monitors our risk environment and provides direction for activities to mitigate, to an acceptable level, identified risks that may adversely affect the achievement of our goals.


Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices. See “Risk Management” under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” for a discussion of market risk exposures that we have with respect to our long-term debt, which disclosure should be read in conjunction with the quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021.2022.

Since we do not own products shipped on our pipelines or terminalled at our terminal facilities, we do not have direct market risks associated with commodity prices.


Item 4.Controls and Procedures

(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures
Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have evaluated, as required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information we are required to disclose in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Based upon the evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, at a reasonable level of assurance.

(b) Changes in internal control over financial reporting
We acquired Sinclair Transportation effective March 14, 2022, and have included the operating results and assets and liabilities of Sinclair Transportation in our consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2022 and for the 201 days then ended. Other than our internal controls for Sinclair Transportation, thereThere have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.Legal Proceedings

In the ordinary course of business, we may become party to legal, regulatory or administrative proceedings or governmental investigations, including environmental and other matters. Damages or penalties may be sought from us in some matters and certain matters may require years to resolve. While the outcome and impact of these proceedings and investigations on us cannot be predicted with certainty, based on advice of counsel and information currently available to us, management believes that the resolution of these proceedings and investigations, through settlement or adverse judgment, will not, either individually or in the aggregate, have a materially adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.



Item 1A.Risk Factors

ThereExcept as described below, there have been no material changes in our risk factors as previously disclosed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021.2022. In addition to the other information set forth in this quarterly report, you should consider carefully the information discussed in our 20212022 Form 10-K, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in our 20212022 Form 10-K are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial may also materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition or future results.

There can be no assurances that we will enter into a definitive agreement with HF Sinclair related to its proposal to acquire all of our common units that it or its affiliates do not already own, or that we will complete any transactions contemplated by such an agreement.

On May 3, 2023, we received a non-binding proposal from HF Sinclair to acquire all of the outstanding common units (“Common Units”) of HEP not beneficially owned by HF Sinclair or its affiliates in exchange for shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”) of HF Sinclair. Under the proposal, HEP unitholders would receive newly issued shares of Common Stock at a fixed exchange ratio of 0.3714 per each publicly held Common Unit, which was derived using the 30-day volume weighted average prices for each security as of market close on May 3, 2023 (the “Proposed HF Sinclair Transaction”). The proposal has been made to the board of directors of our ultimate general partner (the “Board”). It is anticipated that the Board will authorize the Conflicts Committee of the Board, which is comprised of independent members of the Board, to review, evaluate and negotiate the Proposed HF Sinclair Transaction. The Proposed HF Sinclair Transaction is subject to the negotiation and execution of a definitive agreement. There can be no assurance that a definitive agreement will be executed or that any transaction will be approved or consummated.
