See Note 7 - “Commitments and Contingencies” for further information.
The Company’s Renewable Identification Numbers (“RINs”) obligation (“RINs Obligation”) represents a liability for the purchase of RINs to satisfy the EPAU.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) requirement to blend biofuels into the fuel products it produces pursuant to the EPA’s RFS.Renewable Fuel Standard (“RFS”). RINs are assigned to biofuels produced in the U.S. as required by the EPA. The EPA sets annual quotas for the percentage of biofuels that must be blended into transportation fuels consumed in the U.S. and, as a producer of motor fuels from petroleum, the Company is required to blend biofuels into the fuel products it produces at a rate that will meet the EPA’s annual quota. To the extent the Company is unable to blend biofuels at that rate, it must purchase RINs in the open market to satisfy the annual requirement. The Company’s RINs Obligation is based on the amount of RINs it must purchase and the price of those RINs as of the balance sheet date.

Table of Contents
The Company uses the inventory model to account for RINs, measuring acquired RINs at weighted-average cost. The cost of RINs used each period is charged to cost of sales with cash inflows and outflows recorded in the operating cash flow section of the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. The liability is calculated by multiplying the RINs shortage (based on actual results) by the period end RINRINs spot price. The Company recognizes an asset at the end of each reporting period in which it has generated RINs in excess of its RINs Obligation. The asset is initially recorded at cost at the time the Company acquires them and areis subsequently revalued at the lower of cost or market as of the last day of each accounting period and the resulting adjustments are reflected in cost of sales for the period in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations, with the exception of the RINs for compliance year 2019 related to the San Antonio Refinery, which is reflected in other (income) expense within operating income in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. The value of RINs in excess of the RINs Obligation, if any, would be reflected in other current assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.sheet. RINs generated in excess of the Company’s current RINs Obligation may be sold or held to offset future RINs Obligations. Any such sales of excess RINs are recorded in cost of sales in the unaudited condensed consolidated statementsstatement of operations. The liabilities associated with the Company’s RINs Obligation are considered recurring fair value measurements. SeePlease read Note 76 - “Commitments and Contingencies” for further information on the Company’s RINs Obligation.
Loss on Impairment and Disposal of Assets
The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2019 included a Loss on impairment and disposal of assets of $3.2 million. The Company did not record a Loss on impairment and disposal of assets for the three months ended September 30, 2020. The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 included a Loss on impairment and disposal of assets of $6.7 million and $31.1 million, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, Loss on impairment and disposal of assets primarily consisted of a $5.1 million write-off of an other receivable for the remaining payment related to the sale of Anchor Drilling Fluids USA, LLC in 2017 and $1.5 million for the disposal of assets related to Bel-Ray facility (please read Note 13 - “Restructuring” for additional information regarding the Company’s restructuring program). For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, Loss on impairment and disposal of assets consisted of $10.7 million for the Company’s cease of use of the assets associated with the TexStar Midstream Logistics, L.P. Throughput and Deficiency Agreement, $19.7 million in impairment charges for the Company’s investment in Fluid Holding Corp. (“FHC”), and $0.7 million of net losses recorded on other various asset disposals during the period. The fair value of the Loss on impairment and disposal of assets were based on Level 3 inputs.
Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
On January 1, 2020, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”) which changed the impairment model for most financial instruments. Previous guidance required the recognition of credit losses based on an incurred loss impairment methodology that reflects losses once the losses are probable. Under ASU 2016-13, the Company is required to use a current expected credit loss (“CECL”) model that immediately recognizes an estimate of credit losses that are expected to occur over the life of the financial instruments that are in the scope of the update, including trade receivables. The CECL model uses a broader range of reasonable and supportable information in the development of credit loss estimates. The result of the adoption of ASU 2016-13 was de-minimis and did not result in an adjustment to beginning partners’ capital. The allowance for credit losses for accounts receivable was $0.8 million at September 30, 2020 and $0.9 million at January 1, 2020, respectively.
On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU No.2016-02, Leases (Topic(Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”)and all the related amendments to its lease contracts using the modified retrospective method. The effective date was used as the Company’s date of initial application with no restatement of prior periods. As such, prior periods continue to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods. SeePlease read Note 145 - “Leases” for further information.
On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU No. 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities, which improves the financial reporting of hedging relationships to better align risk management activities in financial statements and make certain targeted improvements to simplify the application of the hedge accounting guidance in current GAAP. Given the Company’s current risk management strategy of not designating any of its derivative positions as hedges, the adoption of this guidance had no effect on ourthe Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. If, in the future, the Company decides to modify its hedging strategies, this new accounting guidance would become applicable and will be applied at that time.
On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU No. 2018-07, Compensation — Stock Compensation (Topic 718):Improvements to NonemployeeNon-employee Share-Based Payment Accounting (“ASU 2018-07”). This update simplifies the guidance related to nonemployeenon-employee share-based payments by superseding ASC 505-50 and expanding the scope of ASC 718 to include all share-based payment arrangements related to the acquisition of goods and services from both nonemployeesnon-employees and employees. Prior to the issuance of this standard update, nonemployeenon-employee share-based payments were subject to ASC 505-50 requirements while employee share-based payments were subject to ASC 718 requirements. ASU 2018-07 is effective for fiscal years (including interim periods) beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of ASU 2018-07 had no impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

3. Revenue Recognition
The following is a description of principal activities from which the Company generates revenue. Revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods are transferred to the customer, in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods. To determine revenue recognition for arrangements that an entity determines are within the scope of ASC 606,Revenue from Contracts with Customers, the Company performs the following five steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. At contract inception, once the contract is determined to be within the scope of ASC 606, the Company assesses the goods promised within each contract and determines the performance obligations and assesses whether each promised good is distinct. The Company then recognizes as revenue the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when (or as) the performance obligation is satisfied.
Products
The Company is engaged in the production and marketing of crude oil-based specialty products including lubricating oils, white mineral oils, solvents, petrolatums, waxes, synthetic lubricants and other products which comprise the specialty products segment. The Company is also engaged in the production of fuel and fuel related products including gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, asphalt and other products which comprise the fuel products segment.
The Company considers customer purchase orders, which in some cases are governed by master sales agreements, to be the contracts with a customer. For each contract, the Company considers the promise to transfer products, each of which are distinct, to be the identified performance obligations. In determining the transaction price, the Company evaluates whether the price is subject to variable consideration such as product returns, rebates or other discounts to determine the net consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled. The Company transfers control and recognizes revenue upon shipment to the customer, or, in certain cases, upon receipt by the customer in accordance with contractual terms.

Excise and Sales Taxes
The Company assesses, collects and remits excise taxes associated with the sale of certain of its fuel products. Furthermore, the Company collects and remits sales taxes associated with certain sales of its products to non-exempt customers. The Company excludes excise taxes and sales taxes that are collected from customers from the transaction price in its contracts with customers. Accordingly, revenue from contracts with customers is net of sales-based taxes that are collected from customers and remitted to taxing authorities.
Shipping and Handling Costs
Shipping and handling costs are deemed to be fulfillment activities rather than a separate distinct performance obligation.
Cost of Obtaining Contracts
The Company may incur incremental costs to obtain a sales contract, which under ASC 606 should be capitalized and amortized over the life of the contract. The Company has elected to apply the practical expedient in ASC 340-40-50-5 allowing the Company to expense these costs since the contracts are short-term in nature with a contract term of one year or less.

Table of Contents
Revenue is recognized when obligations under the terms of a contract with a customer are satisfied; recognition generally occurs with the transfer of control at a point in time. The contract with the customer states the final terms of the sale, including the description, quantity and price of each product or service purchased. For fuel products, payment is typically due in full between 2 to 30 days of delivery or the start of the contract term, such that payment is typically collected 2 to 30 days subsequent to the satisfaction of performance obligations. For specialty products, payment is typically due in full between 30 to 90 days of delivery or the start of the contract term, such that payment is typically collected 30 to 90 days subsequent to the satisfaction of performance obligations. In the normal course of business, the Company does not accept product returns unless the item is defective as manufactured. The expected costs associated with a product assurance warranty continues to be recognized as expense when products are sold. The Company does not offer promised services that could be considered warranties that are sold separately or provide a service in addition to assurance that the related product complies with agreed upon specifications. The Company establishes provisions based on the methods described in ASC 606 for estimated returns and warranties as variable consideration when determining the transaction price.
Contract Balances
Under product sales contracts, the Company invoices customers for performance obligations that have been satisfied, at which point payment is unconditional. Accordingly, a product sales contract does not give rise to contract assets or liabilities under ASC 606. The Company’s receivables, net of allowance for doubtful accounts,expected credit losses from contracts with customers as of September 30, 20192020 and December 31, 2018 was $216.02019 were $161.1 million and $177.7$175.0 million, respectively.
Transaction Price Allocated to Remaining Performance Obligations
The Company’s product sales are short-term in nature with a contract term of one year or less. The Company has utilized the practical expedient in ASC 606-10-50-14 exempting the Company from disclosure of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations if the performance obligation is part of a contract that has an original expected duration of one year or less. Additionally, each unit of product generally represents a separate performance obligation; therefore, future volumes are wholly unsatisfied and disclosure of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations is not required.

4. Inventories
The cost of inventory is recorded using the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) method. An actual valuation of inventory under the LIFO method can be made only at the end of each year based on the inventory levels and costs at that time. Accordingly, interim LIFO calculations are based on management’s estimates of expected year-end inventory levels and costs and are subject to the final year-end LIFO inventory valuation. In certain circumstances, the Company may decide not to replenish inventory for certain products or product lines during an interim period, in which case, the Company may record interim LIFO adjustments during that period. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019,2020, the Company recorded increasesrecorded no activity (exclusive of lower of cost or market (“LCM”) adjustments) in cost of sales in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations of $0.9 million due to the permanent liquidation of inventory layers. No suchThe Company recorded 0 activity occurred induring the three months ended September 30, 2019, orwhile the Company recorded a $0.9 million increase in cost of sales as a result of such activity during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018.2019.
Costs include crude oil and other feedstocks, labor, processing costs and refining overhead costs. Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market value. The replacement cost of these inventories, based on current market values, would have been $15.8$20.0 million higher and $7.8lower and $17.7 million lowerhigher as of September 30, 20192020 and December 31, 2018,2019, respectively.
On March 31, 2017 and June 19, 2017, the Company sold inventory comprised of crude oil and refined products to Macquarie Energy North America Trading Inc. (“Macquarie”) under Supply and Offtake Agreements as described in Note 87 — “Inventory Financing Agreements” related to the Great Falls and Shreveport refineries, respectively. The crude oil remains in the legal title of Macquarie and is stored in the Company’s refinery storage tanks governed by storage agreements. Legal title to the crude oil passes to the Company at the storage tank outlet for processing into refined products. After processing, Macquarie takes title to the refined products stored in the Company’s storage tanks until sold to third parties. While title to certain inventories will reside with Macquarie, the Supply and Offtake Agreements are accounted for by the Company similar to a product financing arrangement; therefore, the inventories sold to Macquarie will continue to be included in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets until processed and sold to a third party. The Company is obligated to repurchase the inventory in certain scenarios.

Under the LIFO inventory method, the most recently incurred costs are charged to costvalue of sales and inventories are valued at the earliest acquisition costs. product financing. Please read Note 7 - “Inventory Financing Agreements” for further information.
In addition, the use of the LIFO inventory method may result in increases or decreases to cost of sales in years that inventory volumes decline as the result of charging cost of sales with LIFO inventory costs generated in prior periods. In periods of rapidly declining prices, LIFO inventories may have to be written down to market value due to the higher costs assigned to LIFO layers in prior periods.

In connection with the Anchor Transaction in November 2017, the Company received an equity investment in FHC as part of the total consideration for Anchor. FHC provides oilfield services and products to customers globally. The Company’s investment in FHC is a non-marketable equity security without a readily determinable fair value. The Company records this investment using a measurement alternative which values the security at cost less impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from qualifying observable price changes with a same or similar security from the same issuer.
During the three months ended June 30, 2019, the Company determined the fair value of its investment in FHC was less than its carrying value of $25.4 million after evaluating indicators of impairment and valuing the investment using projected future cash flows and other Level 3 inputs. Utilizing an income approach, value indications are developed by discounting expected cash flows to their present value at a rate of return that incorporates the risk-free rate for the use of funds, the expected rate of inflation and risks associated with the company. As a result, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $16.1 million in loss on impairment and disposal of assets in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2019.
During the three months ended September 30, 2019, the Company determined the fair value of its investment in FHC was less than its carrying value of $9.3 million as a result of a preferred stock issuance by FHC, which diluted the Company’s ownership percentage. As a result, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $3.6 million in loss on impairment and disposal of assets in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operationsLVT Agreement for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, andrespectively.

From time to time, the Company is a party to certain claims and litigation incidental to its business, including claims made by various taxation and regulatory authorities, such as the Internal Revenue Service, the EPA and the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (“OSHA”), as well as various state environmental regulatory bodies and state and local departments of revenue, as the result of audits or reviews of the Company’s business. In addition, the Company has property, business interruption, general liability and various other insurance policies that may result in certain losses or expenditures being reimbursed to the Company.

Environmental
The Company conducts crude oil and specialty hydrocarbon refining, blending and terminal operations and such activities are subject to stringent federal, regional, state and local laws and regulations governing worker health and safety, the discharge of materials into the environment and environmental protection. These laws and regulations impose obligations that are applicable to the Company’s operations, such as requiring the acquisition of permits to conduct regulated activities, restricting the manner in which the Company may release materials into the environment, requiring remedial activities or capital expenditures to mitigate pollution from former or current operations, requiring the application of specific health and safety criteria addressing worker protection and imposing substantial liabilities for pollution resulting from its operations. Failure to comply with these laws and regulations may result in the assessment of sanctions, including administrative, civil and criminal penalties; the imposition of investigatory, remedial or corrective action obligations or the incurrence of capital expenditures; the occurrence of delays in the permitting, development or expansion of projects and the issuance of injunctive relief limiting or prohibiting Company activities. Moreover, certain of these laws impose joint and several, strict liability for costs required to remediate and restore sites where petroleum hydrocarbons, wastes or other materials have been released or disposed. In addition, new laws and regulations, new interpretations of existing laws and regulations, increased governmental enforcement or other developments, some of which legal requirements are discussed below, could significantly increase the Company’s operational or compliance expenditures.
Remediation of subsurface contamination is in process at certain of the Company’s refinery sites and is being overseen by the appropriate state agencies. Based on current investigative and remedial activities, the Company believes that the soil and groundwater contamination at these refineries can be controlled or remediated without having a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition. However, such costs are often unpredictable and, therefore, there can be no assurance that the future costs will not become material.
Great Falls Refinery
In connection with the acquisition of the Great Falls refinery from Connacher Oil and Gas Limited (“Connacher”), the Company became a party to an existing 2002 Refinery Initiative Consent Decree (the “Great Falls Consent Decree”) with the EPA and the Montana Department of Environmental Quality. The material obligations imposed by the Great Falls Consent Decree have been completed. On September 27, 2012, Montana Refining Company, Inc. received a final Corrective Action Order on Consent, replacing the refinery’s previously held hazardous waste permit. This Corrective Action Order on Consent governs the investigation and remediation of contamination at the Great Falls refinery. The Company believes the majority of damages related to such contamination at the Great Falls refinery are covered by a contractual indemnity provided by a subsidiary of HollyFrontier Corporation (the “Seller”), the owner and operator of the Great Falls refinery prior to its acquisition by Connacher, under an asset purchase agreement between the Seller and Connacher, pursuant to which Connacher acquired the Great Falls refinery. Under this asset purchase agreement, the Seller agreed to indemnify Connacher and Montana Refining Company, Inc., subject to timely notification, certain conditions and certain monetary baskets and caps, for environmental conditions arising under the Seller’s ownership and operation of the Great Falls refinery and existing as of the date of sale to Connacher. During 2014, the Seller provided the Company a notice challenging the Company’s position that the Seller is obligated to indemnify the Company’s remediation expenses for environmental conditions to the extent arising under the Seller’s ownership and operation of the refinery and existing as of the date of sale to Connacher, which expenditures totaled in excess of $17.0 million as of September 30, 2019, of which $14.6 million was capitalized into the cost of the Company’s refinery expansion project and the remainder was expensed. On September 22, 2015, the Company initiated a lawsuit against the Seller. On November 24, 2015, the Seller filed a motion to dismiss the case pending arbitration. On February 10, 2016, the court ordered that all of the claims be addressed in arbitration. The arbitration panel conducted the first phase of the arbitration in July 2018 and issued its ruling on September 13, 2018. In its ruling, the arbitration panel confirmed that the Seller retained the liability for all pre-closing contamination with respect to third-party claims indefinitely and with respect to first party claims for which the Seller received notice within five years after the sale of the refinery, which claims are subject to the requirements otherwise set forth in the asset purchase agreement. The second phase of the arbitration regarding damages occurred in April 2019. The arbitration panel issued its final ruling on August 25, 2019. Among other things, the panel denied the Company’s demands for reimbursement for costs incurred and left open the Company’s ability to make future claims. The Company expects that it may incur costs to remediate other environmental conditions at the Great Falls refinery. The Company currently believes that these other costs it may incur will not be material to its financial position or results of operations.
Cotton Valley, Princeton and Shreveport Refineries
Since 2013, the Louisiana DepartDepartment of Environmental Quality (“LDEQ”) has issued Consolidated Compliance Orders & Notices of Proposed Penalties to the Cotton Valley, Princeton and Shreveport refineries relating to various alleged air quality and wastewater regulatory violations. The Company has responded to the various ordersorders. The Company and has submittedLDEQ have reached a consolidated proposaltentative agreement to the LDEQ to resolve all of the applicable matters, and it is likely a resolution of this matter will result inwhich would require that the Company pay a penalty in excess of approximately $0.1 million. The Company is awaiting a response fromworking with LDEQ onto formalize the Company’s proposal.settlement. The Company expects that the amount of the penalty contained in the final settlement will not be material to its financial position or results of operations and any conditions established by LDEQ on the Company’s operations will not be material to the Company’s operations.

Renewable Identification Numbers Obligation
In August 2019, the EPA granted the Company’s fuel products refineries a “small refinery exemption” under the RFS for the compliance year 2018, as provided for under the federal Clean Air Act, as amended (“CAA”). In granting those exemptions, the EPA, in consultation with the Department of Energy, determined that for the compliance year 2018, compliance with the RFS would represent a “disproportionate economic hardship” for these small refineries.
In March 2018, the EPA granted the Company’s fuel products refineries a “small refinery exemption” under the RFS for the compliance year 2017, as provided for under the CAA. In granting those exemptions, the EPA, in consultation with the Department of Energy, determined that for the compliance year 2017, compliance with the RFS would represent a “disproportionate economic hardship” for these small refineries.
The RINs exemptions resulted in a decrease in the RINs Obligation and are a charge to cost of sales in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations with the exception of the RINs exempted under the RFS for compliance year 2017 related to the Superior Refinery, which was charged to other (income) expense within operating income in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. As of September 30, 20192020 and December 31, 2018,2019, the Company had a RINs Obligation of $14.4$76.1 million and $15.8$13.0 million, respectively.
Occupational Health and Safety
The Company is subject to various laws and regulations relating to occupational health and safety, including the federal Occupational Safety and Health Act, as amended, and comparable state laws. These laws and regulations strictly govern the protection of the health and safety of employees. In addition, OSHA’s hazard communication standard, the EPA’s community right-to-know regulations under Title III of the federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, as amended, and similar state statutes require the Company to maintain information about hazardous materials used or produced in the Company’s operations and provide this information to employees, contractors, state and local government authorities and customers. The Company maintains safety and training programs as part of its ongoing efforts to promote compliance with applicable laws and regulations. The Company conducts periodic audits of Process Safety Management systems at each of its locations subject to this standard. The Company’s compliance with applicable health and safety laws and regulations has required, and continues to require, substantial expenditures. Changes in occupational safety and health laws and regulations or a finding of non-compliance with current laws and regulations could result in additional capital expenditures or operating expenses, as well as civil penalties and, in the event of a serious injury or fatality, criminal charges.

Other Matters, Claims and Legal Proceedings
The Company was a party to a 2014 Throughput and Deficiency Agreement with TexStar Midstream Logistics, L.P. (“TexStar”) pursuant to which TexStar delivered crude oil to the Company’s San Antonio refinery through a crude oil pipeline system owned and operated by TexStar (the “Pipeline Agreement”). The Pipeline Agreement had an initial term of 20 years and was accounted for as a finance lease on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. TexStar and the Company have each terminated the Pipeline Agreement for alleged breaches of the agreement. The Company ceased using the asset as of February 28, 2019, wrote off the associated net book value of $10.7 million in loss on impairment and disposal of assets and reclassified the $38.1 million present value of financing lease obligation from current and long-term debt to other current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company is in dispute with TexStar over whether any additional monies are owed with TexStar claiming certain minimum amounts of $0.0 to $0.5 million a month continued to be owed through the remainder of the original term of the Pipeline Agreement. The Company filed a lawsuit against TexStar on May 17, 2019 in Bexar County, Texas, seeking a declaratory judgment that the Company properly terminated the Pipeline Agreement and the Company is not obligated to make further payments under the Pipeline Agreement. The litigation is currently pending. The Company believes it will prevail in the dispute over whether further payments are owed, but pending resolution, the $38.1 million liability is recorded as a current liability on its condensed

consolidated balance sheets. On November 10, 2019, the Company, TexStar, and related parties entered into a Settlement and Release Agreement with respect to the litigation. Please see Note 15 - “Subsequent Events” for further information.
On October 31, 2018, the Company received an indemnity claim notice (the “Claim Notice”) from Husky Superior Refining Holding Corp. (“Husky”) under the Membership Interest Purchase Agreement, dated August 11, 2017 (the “MIPA”), which was entered into in connection with the disposition of the Superior Refinery. The Claim Notice relates to alleged losses Husky incurred in connection with a fire at the Husky Superior refinery on April 26, 2018, over five months after Calumet sold Husky 100% of the membership interests in the entity that owns the Husky Superior refinery. Calumet understands the fire occurred during a turnaround of the Husky Superior refinery at a time when Husky owned, operated, and supervised the refinery. Calumet was not involved with the turnaround. The U.S. Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board (“CSB”) is currently investigating the fire butfire. The CSB has not contacted Calumet in connection with that investigation or suggested that Calumet is responsible for the fire. Husky’s Claim Notice alleges that Husky “has become aware of facts which may give rise to losses” for which it reserved the right to seek indemnification at a later date. The Claim Notice further alleges breaches of certain representations, warranties, and covenants contained in the MIPA. We believe that the information currently publicly available about the fire and the CSB investigation does not support Husky’s threatened claims, and Husky has not filed a lawsuit against Calumet. If Husky were to seek recourse under the MIPA for such claims, they would be subject to certain limits on indemnification liability that may reduce or eliminate any potential indemnification liability.
On July 9, 2019, Calumet Shreveport Refining, LLC entered into a Settlement Agreement and Mutual Release with Enterprise TE Products Pipeline Company LLC and Enterprise Refined Products Company LLC to resolve disputes regarding transportation charges, product downgrades and transmix recovery fee charges, and truck terminal loading charges that arose between the parties under the Transportation Agreement dated July 1, 2015.

The Company is subject to other matters, claims and litigation incidental to its business. The Company has recorded accruals with respect to certain of its matters, claims and litigation where appropriate, that are reflected in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements but are not individually considered material. For other matters, claims and litigation, the Company has not recorded accruals because it has not yet determined that a loss is probable or because the amount of loss cannot be reasonably estimated. While the ultimate outcome of matters, claims and litigation currently pending cannot be determined, the Company currently does not expect these outcomes, individually or in the aggregate (including matters for which the Company has recorded accruals), to have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows. The outcome of any matter, claim or litigation is inherently uncertain, however and if decided adversely to the Company, or if the Company determines that settlement of particular litigation is appropriate, the Company may be subject to liability that could have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

On March 31, 2017, the Company entered into several agreements with Macquarie to support the operations of the Great Falls refinery (the “Great Falls Supply and Offtake Agreements”). On July 27, 2017, the Company amended the Great Falls Supply and Offtake Agreements to provide Macquarie the option to terminate the Great Falls Supply and Offtake Agreements effective nine months after the end of the applicable calendar quarter in which Macquarie elects to terminate and the Company has the option to terminate with ninety days’ notice at any time. On May 9, 2019, the Company entered into an amendment to the Great Falls Supply and Offtake Agreements to, among other things, extend the Expiration Date (as defined in the Great Falls Supply and Offtake Agreements) from September 30, 2019 to June 30, 2023.
On June 19, 2017, the Company entered into several agreements with Macquarie to support the operations of the Shreveport refinery (the “Shreveport Supply and Offtake Agreements” and together with the Great Falls Supply and Offtake Agreements, the “Supply and Offtake Agreements”). Since inception, the Shreveport Supply and Offtake Agreements were set to expire on June 30, 2020; however, Macquarie has the option to terminate the Shreveport Supply and Offtake Agreements effective nine months after the end of the applicable calendar quarter in which Macquarie elects to terminate and the Company has the option to terminate with ninety days’ notice at any time. On May 9, 2019, the Company entered into an amendment to the Shreveport Supply and Offtake Agreements to, among other things, extend the Expiration Date (as defined in the Shreveport Supply and Offtake Agreements) from June 30, 2020 to June 30, 2023.
The Supply and Offtake Agreements allow the Company to purchase crude oil from Macquarie or one of its affiliates. Per the Supply and Offtake Agreements, Macquarie will provide up to 30,000 barrels per day of crude oil to the Great Falls refinery and 60,000 barrels per day of crude oil to the Shreveport refinery. The Company agreed to purchase the crude oil on a just-in-time basis to support the production operations at the Great Falls and Shreveport refineries. Additionally, the Company agreed to sell, and Macquarie agreed to buy, at market prices, refined products produced at the Great Falls and Shreveport refineries. For Shreveport, finished products consisting of finished fuel products (other than jet fuel), lubricants and waxes, Macquarie may (but is not required to) sell such products to the sales intermediation party (“SIP”), and the SIP may (but is not required to) sell such products to Shreveport, as applicable, for sale in turn to third parties. For jet fuel and certain intermediate products, Macquarie may (but is not required to) sell such products to Shreveport for sale thereby to third parties. The Company will then repurchase the refined products from Macquarie or the SIP prior to selling the refined products to third parties.
The Supply and Offtake Agreements are subject to minimum and maximum inventory levels. The agreements also provide for the lease to Macquarie of crude oil and certain refined product storage tanks located at the Great Falls and Shreveport refineries and certain offsite locations. Following expiration or termination of the agreements, Macquarie has the option to require the Company to purchase the crude oil and refined product inventories then owned by Macquarie and located at the leased storage tanks at then current market prices. In addition, barrels owned by the Company are pledged as collateral to support the Deferred Payment Arrangement (defined below) obligations under these agreements.

While title to certain inventories will reside with Macquarie, the Supply and Offtake Agreements are accounted for by the Company similar to a product financing arrangement; therefore, the inventories sold to Macquarie will continue to be included in

the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets until processed and sold to a third party. Each reporting period, the Company will recordrecords liabilities in an amount equal to the amount the Company expects to pay to repurchase the inventory held by Macquarie based on market prices at the termination date included in obligations under inventory financing agreements in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company has determined that the redemption feature on the initially recognized liabilities related to the Supply and Offtake Agreements is an embedded derivative indexed to commodity prices. As such, the Company has accounted for these embedded derivatives at fair value with changes in the fair value, if any, recorded in gain (loss) on derivative instruments in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. For more information on the valuation of the associated derivatives, seeplease read Note 109 - “Derivatives” and Note 1110 - “Fair Value Measurements.” The embedded derivatives will be recorded in obligations under inventory financing agreements on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The cash flow impact of the embedded derivatives will be classified as a change in inventory financing activityunrealized (gain) loss on derivative instruments in the financingoperating activities section in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.
For the three months ended September 30, 20192020 and 2018,2019, the Company incurred $5.6expenses of $1.2 million and $6.3$5.6 million, respectively, for financing costs related to the Supply and Offtake Agreements, which are included in interest expense in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. For the nine months ended September 30, 20192020 and 2018,2019, the Company received a $2.0 million benefit and incurred an $11.7 million and $13.4 million,expense, respectively, for financing costs related to the Supply and Offtake Agreements, which are included in interest expense in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.
The Company has provided cash collateral of $9.7$11.1 million related to the initial purchase of the Great Falls and Shreveport inventory to cover credit risk for future crude oil deliveries and potential liquidation risk if Macquarie exercises its rights and sells the inventory to third parties. The collateral was recorded as a reduction to the obligations under inventory financing agreements pursuant to a master netting agreement.obligations.
The Supply and Offtake Agreements also include a deferred payment arrangement (“Deferred Payment Arrangement”) whereby the Company can defer payments on just-in-time crude oil purchases from Macquarie owed under the agreements up to the value of the collateral provided (up to 90% of the collateral inventory). The deferred amounts under the Deferred Payment Arrangement will bear interest at a rate equal to the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 3.25% per annum for both Shreveport and Great Falls. Amounts outstanding under the Deferred Payment Arrangement are included in obligations under inventory financing agreements in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. Changes in the amount outstanding under the Deferred Payment Arrangement are included within cash flows from financing activities onin the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. As of September 30, 20192020 and December 31, 2018,2019, the Company had $22.2$16.1 million and $20.4$26.3 million of deferred payments outstanding, respectively.

Third Amended and Restated Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility
On February 23, 2018, the Company entered into the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) governing its senior secured revolving credit facility maturing in February 2023, which provides maximum availability of credit under the revolving credit facility of $600.0 million, subject to borrowing base limitations, and includes a $500.0 million incremental uncommitted expansion feature. The revolving credit facility includes a $25.0 million senior secured first loaned in and last to be repaid out (“FILO”) revolving credit facility limited by a FILO borrowing base calculation. The FILO commitment reduces ratably each quarter starting in November 2019 and ending in August 2020.

The $99.6 million expansion amortizes to zero on a straight-line basis over ten quarters starting in the first quarter of 2020. Additionally, while the fixed assets of the Great Falls, MT refinery are included in the borrowing base, the first amendmentFirst Amendment provides for a 25 basis points increase in the applicable margin for loans, as well as increases in the minimum availability under the revolving credit facility required for the Company to be able to perform certain actions, including to make restricted payments of other distributions, sell or dispose of certain assets, make acquisitions or investments, or prepay other indebtedness. Among other conditions precedent that were required to be satisfied before the Effective Date, the Company was required to consummate an offering of at least $450.0 million aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes. The conditions precedent were not satisfied until October 11, 2019. Therefore, the $99.6 million expansion was not in effect as of September 30, 2019. See Note 15 - “Subsequent Events” for further information.

The credit agreementCredit Agreement provides for a 25 basis point reduction in the applicable margin rates beginning in the quarter after our Leverage Ratio (as defined in the credit agreement)Credit Agreement) is less than 5.5 to 1.0. As the Company met this test in fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2019, its applicable margin for the quarter ended, and including,of September 30, 2019 was 252020, the interest has been determined based on a margin of 50 basis points for prime 125rate based revolver loans, 150 basis points for LIBOR 125based rate revolver loans, 150 basis points for prime rate based FILO loans and 225250 basis points for LIBOR based FILO loans. The margin can fluctuate quarterly based on our average availability for additional borrowings under the revolving credit facility in the preceding calendar quarter. Following the October 11, 2019 Effective Dateeffective date of the first amendment to the credit agreement,First Amendment, the applicable margin rates are increased by 25 basis points for as long as the Great Falls, MT refinery assets are contributing to the borrowing base. Letters of credit issued under the revolving credit facility accrue fees at a rate equal to the margin (measured in basis points) applicable to LIBOR revolver loans.
In addition to paying interest quarterly on outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility, the Company is required to pay a commitment fee to the lenders under the revolving credit facility with respect to the unutilized commitments thereunder at a rate equal to 0.250% or 0.375% per annum depending on the average daily available unused borrowing capacity for the

preceding month. The Company also pays a customary letter of credit fee, including a fronting fee of 0.125% per annum of the stated amount of each outstanding letter of credit, and customary agency fees.
The borrowing base under the revolving credit facility at September 30, 2020 was approximately $289.7 million. As of September 30, 2020, the Company had $100.1 million of outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility and outstanding standby letters of credit of $29.7 million, leaving approximately $159.9 million available for additional borrowings based on specified availability limitations.

Further, the revolving credit facility contains one springing financial covenant which provides that only if the Company’s availability to borrow loans under the revolving credit facility falls below the sum of the greater of (i) 10% of the borrowing base then in effect, or 15% while the Great Falls, MT refinery is included in the borrowing base, and (ii) $35.0 million (which amount is subject to increase in proportion to revolving commitment increases), plus the amount of FILO Loansloans outstanding, then the Company will be required to maintain as of the end of each fiscal quarter a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined in the revolving credit facility agreement)Credit Agreement) of at least 1.0 to 1.0.

10.9. Derivatives
The Company is exposed to price risks due to fluctuations in the price of crude oil, refined products (primarily in the Company’s fuel products segment), natural gas and precious metals. The Company uses various strategies to reduce its exposure to commodity price risk. The strategies to reduce the Company’s risk utilize both physical forward contracts and financially settled derivative instruments, such as swaps, collars, options and futures, to attempt to reduce the Company’s exposure with respect to:
crude oil purchases and sales;
fuel product sales and purchases;
natural gas purchases;
precious metals purchases; and
fluctuations in the value of crude oil between geographic regions and between the different types of crude oil such as New York Mercantile Exchange West Texas Intermediate (“NYMEX WTI”), Light Louisiana Sweet, Western Canadian Select (“WCS”), WTI Midland, Mixed Sweet Blend, Magellan East Houston and ICE Brent.
The Company manages its exposure to commodity markets, credit, volumetric and liquidity risks to manage its costs and volatility of cash flows as conditions warrant or opportunities become available. These risks may be managed in a variety of ways that may include the use of derivative instruments. Derivative instruments may be used for the purpose of mitigating risks associated with an asset, liability and anticipated future transactions and the changes in fair value of the Company’s derivative instruments will affect its earnings and cash flows; however, such changes should be offset by price or rate changes related to the underlying commodity or financial transaction that is part of the risk management strategy. The Company does not speculate with derivative instruments or other contractual arrangements that are not associated with its business objectives. Speculation is defined as increasing the Company’s natural position above the maximum position of its physical assets or trading in commodities, currencies or other risk bearing assets that are not associated with the Company’s business activities and objectives. The Company’s positions are monitored routinely by a risk management committee to ensure compliance with its stated risk management policy and documented risk management strategies. All strategies are reviewed on an ongoing basis by the Company’s risk management committee, which will add, remove or revise strategies in anticipation of changes in market conditions and/or its risk profiles. Such changes in strategies are to position the Company in relation to its risk exposures in an attempt to capture market opportunities as they arise. 
The Company is obligated to repurchase crude oil and refined products from Macquarie at the termination of the Supply and Offtake Agreements in certain scenarios. The Company has determined that the redemption feature on the initially recognized liability related to the Supply and Offtake Agreements is an embedded derivative indexed to commodity prices. As such, the Company has

accounted for these embedded derivatives at fair value with changes in the fair value, if any, recorded in gainGain (loss) on derivative instruments in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.
The Company recognizes all derivative instruments at their fair values (see(please read Note 1110 - “Fair Value Measurements”) as either current assets or current liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Fair value includes any premiums paid or received and unrealized gains and losses. Fair value does not include any amounts receivable from or payable to counterparties, or collateral provided to counterparties. Derivative asset and liability amounts with the same counterparty are netted against each other for financial reporting purposes in accordance with the provisions of our master netting arrangements.

Table of Contents
The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of nonperformance by its counterparties on these derivative transactions. The Company does not expect nonperformance on any derivative instruments, however, no assurances can be provided. The Company’s credit exposure related to these derivative instruments is represented by the fair value of contracts reported as derivative assets. As of September 30, 2019,2020, the Company had threefour counterparties in which the derivatives held were in net assets totaling $0.8$14.9 million. As of December 31, 2018,2019, the Company had fourthree counterparties in which the derivatives held were net assets. To manage credit risk, the Company selects and periodically reviews counterparties based on credit ratings.

In the event of default, the Company would potentially be subject to losses on derivative instruments with mark-to-market gains. The Company requires collateral from its counterparties when the fair value of the derivatives exceeds agreed-upon thresholds in its master derivative contracts with these counterparties. NoNaN such collateral was held by the Company as of September 30, 20192020 or December 31, 2018.2019. Collateral received from counterparties is reported in other current liabilities, and collateral held by counterparties is reported in prepaid expenses and other current assets on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets and is not netted against derivative assets or liabilities.
Certain of the Company’s outstanding derivative instruments are subject to credit support agreements with the applicable counterparties which contain provisions setting certain credit thresholds above which the Company may be required to post agreed-upon collateral, such as cash or letters of credit, with the counterparty to the extent that the Company’s mark-to-market net liability, if any, on all outstanding derivatives exceeds the credit threshold amount per such credit support agreement. The majority of the credit support agreements covering the Company’s outstanding derivative instruments also contain a general provision stating that if the Company experiences a material adverse change in its business, in the reasonable discretion of the counterparty, the Company’s credit threshold could be lowered by such counterparty. The Company does not expect that it will experience a material adverse change in its business. Any outstanding collateral is released to the Company upon settlement of the related derivative instrument liability. As of September 30, 20192020 and December 31, 2018,2019, the Company had provided no0 collateral to its counterparties.
The cash flow impact of the Company’s derivative activities is classified primarily as a change in derivative activity in the operating activities section in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.
Derivative Instruments Not Designated as Hedges
For derivative instruments not designated as hedges, the change in fair value of the asset or liability for the period is recorded to gainGain (loss) on derivative instruments in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. Upon the settlement of a derivative not designated as a hedge, the gain or loss at settlement is recorded to gainGain (loss) on derivative instruments in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company has entered into natural gas swaps, gasoline swaps, diesel swaps and certain crude oil

basis swaps that do not qualify as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes as they were not entered into simultaneously with a corresponding NYMEX WTI derivative contract.purposes. However, these instruments provide economic hedges of the purchases and sales of the Company’s natural gas, crude oil, gasoline and diesel.

10. Fair Value Measurements
In accordance with ASC 820, the Company uses a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. Observable inputs are from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s assumptions about the factors market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability developed based upon the best information available in the circumstances. These tiers include the following:
Level 1 — inputs include observable unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2 — inputs include other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable
Level 3 — inputs include unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions
In determining fair value, the Company uses various valuation techniques and prioritizes the use of observable inputs. The availability of observable inputs varies from instrument to instrument and depends on a variety of factors including the type of instrument, whether the instrument is actively traded and other characteristics particular to the instrument. For many financial instruments, pricing inputs are readily observable in the market, the valuation methodology used is widely accepted by market participants and the valuation does not require significant management judgment. For other financial instruments, pricing inputs are less observable in the marketplace and may require management judgment.
Recurring Fair Value Measurements
Derivative Assets and Liabilities
Derivative instruments are reported in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements at fair value. The Company’s derivative instruments consist of over-the-counter contracts, which are not traded on a public exchange. Substantially all of the Company’s derivative instruments are with counterparties that have long-term credit ratings of at least A3 and BBB+ by Moody’s and S&P, respectively.
Commodity derivative instruments are measured at fair value using a market approach. To estimate the fair values of the Company’s commodity derivative instruments, the Company uses the forward rate, the strike price, contractual notional amounts, the risk-free rate of return and contract maturity. Various analytical tests are performed to validate the counterparty data. The fair values of the Company’s derivative instruments are adjusted for nonperformance risk and creditworthiness of the counterparty through the Company’s credit valuation adjustment (“CVA”). The CVA is calculated at the counterparty level utilizing the fair value exposure at each payment date and applying a weighted probability of the appropriate survival and marginal default percentages. The Company uses the counterparty’s marginal default rate and the Company’s survival rate when the Company is in a net asset position at the payment date and uses the Company’s marginal default rate and the counterparty’s survival rate when the Company is in a net liability position at the payment date. As a result of applying the applicable CVA at September 30, 20192020 and December 31, 2018,2019, the Company’s net assets and net liabilities changed, in each case, by an immaterial amount.
Observable inputs utilized to estimate the fair values of the Company’s derivative instruments were based primarily on inputs that are readily available in public markets or can be derived from information available in publicly quoted markets. Based on the use of various unobservable inputs, principally non-performance risk, creditworthiness of the counterparties and unobservable inputs in the forward rate, the Company has categorized these derivative instruments as Level 3. Significant increases (decreases) in any of those unobservable inputs in isolation would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement. The Company believes it has obtained the most accurate information available for the types of derivative instruments it holds. SeePlease read Note 109 - “Derivatives” for further information on derivative instruments.

Pension Assets
Pension assets are reported at fair value in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. At September 30, 2019,2020, the Company’s investments associated with its pension plan primarily consisted of (i) cash and cash equivalents, (ii) fixed income bond funds, (iii) mutual equity funds, and (iv) mutual balanced funds. The fixed income bond funds, mutual equity funds, and mutual balanced funds are valuedmeasured at fair value using a market approach based on quoted prices from national securities exchanges and are categorized in Level 1 of the net assetfair value of shares in each fund held by the Pension Plan at quarter end as provided by the respective investment sponsors or investment advisers. Plan investments can be redeemed within a short time frame (approximately ten business days), if requested.hierarchy.
Liability Awards
Unit basedUnit-based compensation liability awards are awards that are currently expected to be settled in cash on their vesting dates, rather than in equity units (“Liability Awards”). The Liability Awards are categorized as Level 1 because the fair value of the Liability Awards is based on the Company’s quoted closing unit price as of each balance sheet date.

Table of Contents
Renewable Identification Numbers Obligation
The Company’s RINs Obligation is categorized as Level 2 and is measured at fair value using the market approach based on quoted prices from an independent pricing service. SeePlease read Note 76 - “Commitments and Contingencies” for further information on the Company’s RINs Obligation.
Precious Metals Leases
The fair value of precious metals leases is based upon unadjusted exchange-quoted prices and is, therefore, classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
Hierarchy of Recurring Fair Value Measurements
The Company’s recurring assets and liabilities measured at fair value were as follows (in millions):

Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements
Certain non-financial assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis and are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances, such as when there is evidence of impairment. Assets and liabilities acquired in business combinations are recorded at their fair value as of the date of acquisition.

The Company reviewsassesses goodwill for goodwill impairment annually on October 1 and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate its carrying value may not be recoverable. The fair value of the reporting units is determined using the income approach. The income approach focuses on the income-producing capability of an asset, measuring the current value of the asset by calculating the present value of its future economic benefits such as cash earnings, cost savings, corporate tax structure and product offerings. Value indications are developed by discounting expected cash flows to their present value at a rate of return that incorporates the risk-free rate for the use of funds, the expected rate of inflation and risks associated with the reporting unit. These assets would generally be classified within Level 3, in the event that the Company were required to measure and record such assets at fair value within its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
The Company periodically evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets to be held and used, including definite-lived intangible assets and property, plant and equipment, when events or circumstances warrant such a review. Fair value is determined primarily using anticipated cash flows assumed by a market participant discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk involved and these assets would generally be classified within Level 3, in the event that the Company was required to measure and record such assets at fair value within its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
The Company’s investment in FHC is a non-marketable equity security without a readily determinable fair value. The Company recordsrecorded this investment using a measurement alternative which measures the security at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from qualifying observable price changes with a same or similar security from the same issuer. The investment in FHC is recorded at fair value only if an impairment or observable price adjustment is recognized in the current period. If an observable price adjustment or impairment is recognized, the Company would classify this asset as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy based on the nature of the fair value inputs. DuringFor the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $19.7 million on the investment in FHC and the categorization of the framework used to value the assets is considered Level 3. SeePlease read Note 614 - “Investment in Unconsolidated Affiliates” for further information.
Estimated Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Cash and cash equivalents
The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents is each considered to be representative of its fair value.
Debt
The estimated fair value of long-term debt at September 30, 20192020 and December 31, 2018,2019, consists primarily of senior notes. The estimated aggregate fair value of the Company’s senior notes defined as Level 1 was based upon quoted market prices in an active market. The estimated fair value of the Company’s senior notes defined as Level 2 was based upon quoted prices for identical or similar liabilities in markets that are not active. The carrying value of borrowings, if any, under the Company’s revolving credit facility, finance lease obligations and other obligations approximate their fair values as determined by discounted cash flows and are classified as Level 3. SeePlease read Note 98 - “Long-Term Debt” for further information on long-term debt.

12. Segments and Related Information
a. Segment Reporting
The Company determines its reportable segments based on how the business is managed internally for the products sold to customers, including how results are reviewed and resources are allocated by the chief operating decision makers (“CODM”). The Company’s operations are managed by the CODM using the following reportable segments:
Specialty Products. The specialty products segment is the Company’s core business which produces a variety of lubricating oils, solvents, waxes, synthetic lubricants and other products which are sold to customers who purchase these products primarily as raw material components for basicindustrial, consumer and automotive industrial and consumer goods. Specialty products also include synthetic lubricants used in manufacturing, mining and automotive applications.
Fuel Products. The fuel products segment produces primarily gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, asphalt and other productsasphalt which are primarily sold to customers located in the PADD 3 and PADD 4 areas within the U.S.
Corporate. Thecorporate segment primarily consists of general and administrative expenses not allocated to the Specialty Products or Fuel Products segments.

During the thirdfirst quarter of 2019,2020, the CODM changed howthe definition and calculation of Adjusted EBITDA, which is used by the Company assessesfor evaluating performance, allocatesallocating resources and allocates certain costs. In response to those changes, a corporate segment was added. Prior tomanaging the third quarter of 2019, various pricing models were used in determining thebusiness. The revised definition and calculation of intersegment sales. Beginning inAdjusted EBITDA now includes LCM inventory adjustments and LIFO adjustments, (see items (g) and (h) below,) which were previously excluded. This revised definition and calculation better reflects the third quarterperformance of 2019, all intersegment sales are calculated using market-based transfer pricing. Further, cost allocations were modified to conform to the new segment alignments. This change in management reporting has resulted in an increase in the inter-segment sales reported by the Company’s specialty products operating segment. Prior period amounts havebusiness segments including cash flows. Adjusted EBITDA has been recastrevised for all periods presented to conform with the current presentation. These changes in management reporting had no impact on consolidated revenue, segment reportingconsistently reflect this change.

The accounting policies of the reporting segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies as disclosed in Note 2 — “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in Part II, Item 8 “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data”Policies,” of the Company’s 20182019 Annual Report on Form 10-K, except that the disaggregated financial results for the reporting segments have been prepared using a management approach, which is consistent with the basis and manner in which management internally disaggregates financial information for the purposes of assisting internal operating decisions. The Company accounts for intersegmentinter-segment sales and transfers using a market-based approach.transfer pricing. The Company will periodically refine its expense allocation methodology for its segment reporting as more refined information becomes available and the industry or market changes. The Company evaluates performance based upon Adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP financial measure). The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA for any period as EBITDA adjusted for (a) impairment; (b) unrealized gains and losses from mark to marketmark-to-market accounting for hedging activities; (c) realized gains and losses under derivative instruments excluded from the determination of net income (loss); (d) non-cash equity-based compensation expense and other non-cash items (excluding items such as accruals of cash expenses in a future period or amortization of a prepaid cash expense) that were deducted in computing net income (loss); (e) debt refinancing fees, premiums and penalties; (f) any net loss realized in connection with an asset sale that was deducted in computing net income (loss); (g) LCM inventory adjustments; (h) the impact of liquidation of inventory layers calculated using the LIFO method; and (g)(i) all extraordinary, unusual or non-recurring items of gain or loss, or revenue or expense.
The Company manages its assets on a total company basis, not by segment. Therefore, management does not review any asset information by segment and, accordingly, the Company does not report asset information by segment.

options to extend the lease for up to 35 years, and some of which include options to terminate the lease within one year. EffectiveOn January 1, 2019,21, 2020, the Company adopted ASU 2016-02 usingcommitted to a modified retrospective transition approach that appliedcost reduction plan to reduce overall operating expenses, including the new standardreduction of outside services, facility fixed costs, and corporate staffing costs (the “Cost Reduction Plan”). These cost reductions are designed to all leases existing at the effective date of the standard with no restatement of prior periods. Given the adoption of ASU 2016-02, the Company’s operating leases have been included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, current portion of operating lease liabilitiesright-size general and long-term portion of operating lease liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease termadministrative spending and lease liabilities represent its obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. The Company’s finance leases are included in property, plant and equipment, current portion of long-term debt and long-term debt, less current portion in the condensed consolidated balance sheets, which remains consistent with the Company’s presentation of its finance leases prior to the adoption of ASU 2016-02.
The Company elected to apply the following practical expedients and policy elections provided by the standard at transition:
Package of Three - The Company has elected that it will not reassess contracts that have expired or existed at the date of adoption for (1) leases under the new definition of a lease, (2) lease classification, and (3) whether previously capitalized initial direct costs would qualify for capitalization under ASC 842.
Portfolio Approach - The Company elected to determine the discount rate used to measure lease liabilities at the portfolio level. Specifically, the Company segregated its leases into different populations based on lease term.
Discount Rate - The Company elected to apply the discount rate at transition based on the remaining lease term and lease payments rather than the original lease term and lease payments. As a majorityPhase II of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company used an incremental borrowing rate based on information available at the date of transition to determine the present value of lease payments.

Lease/Non-Lease Components - The Company elected to not separate non-lease components.
Definition of Minimum Rental Payments - The Company elected to include executory costseliminated 50 general and administrative, primarily corporate positions as part of the minimum lease payments for purposesCost Reduction Plan through the third quarter of measuring the lease liability and right-of-use asset at transition.

Supplemental balance sheet informationOn February 2, 2020, the Company announced to its employees at the Bel-Ray facility in Wall Township, New Jersey, which was included in our Specialty Products segment that it would cease production and close the facility in the second quarter of 2020. Actual production at the Bel-Ray facility ceased in March 2020. This action resulted in the elimination of 49 positions. The Company expects to incur approximately $6.0 million in total exit costs, fixed asset impairments, termination benefits, and severance costs associated with the closure. The majority of these costs are expected to result in cash expenditures that will be paid out primarily in 2020.

Unitholders should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with our 20182019 Annual Report and our historical unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.
Overview
We are a leading independent producer of high-quality, specialty hydrocarbon products in North America. We are headquartered in Indianapolis, Indiana, and own specialty and fuel products facilities primarily located in northwest Louisiana, northern Montana, western Pennsylvania, Texas, New Jersey and eastern Missouri. We own and lease additional facilities, primarily related to production and distribution of specialty and fuel products, throughout the United States (“U.S.”). Our business is organized into three segments: our core specialty products segment, fuel products segment and corporate segment. In our specialty products segment, we process crude oil and other feedstocks into a wide variety of customized lubricating oils, solvents, waxes, synthetic lubricants, and other products. Our specialty products are sold to domestic and international customers who purchase them primarily as raw material components for basic industrial, consumer and automotive goods. We also blend and market specialty products through our Royal Purple, Bel-Ray, and TruFuel brands. In our fuel products segment, we process crude oil into a variety of fuelfuels and fuel-related products, including gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, asphalt and other products, and from time to time resell purchased crude oil to third-party customers. Our corporate segment which was added during the third quarter of 2019, primarily consists of general and administrative expenses not allocated to the specialty products segment or fuel products segment,segment. Please seeread Note 1312 - “Segments and Related Information” for further information.

Third Quarter 20192020 Update
Outlook and Trends
Commodity marketsThe COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted the global economy, disrupted global supply chains, reduced global demand for oil, gas and correspondingderived hydrocarbon products, creating significant volatility and disruption of financial and commodity markets. In additon to the impacts from COVID-19, dramatic fluctuations in product margins have been mixed during the nine months ended September 30, 2019, with the average price per barrel of New York Mercantile Exchange West Texas Intermediate (“NYMEX WTI”)international oil production contributed to a sharp drop in prices for crude oil decreasing by approximately 5.8%and refined products in the first and second quarters of 2020. As local state governments began to lift COVID-19 related restrictions and global crude supply was reduced, average NYMEX WTI prices increased 46.1% in the third quarter of 20192020, as compared to the second quarter of 2019.2020. We expect volatilitythe adverse impact from COVID-19 to continue throughout 2019.to remain a factor during the fourth quarter of 2020. Below are factors that have impacted or may impact our results of operations during 2019:2020:
Reduction in demand for our fuels products as the domestic and global economies are adversely affected by the economic effects of the global pandemic and the significant governmental measures being implemented to control the spread of the virus.
Reduction in demand for certain specialty products as a variety of customers and industries are adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Our broad range of applications and diversification of end-use markets has allowed our specialty products business to maintain margin despite the pandemic.
Availability and pricing of crude oil and other feedstocks as producers and sellers of those products are adversely affected by the global pandemic and the global oversupply of crude oil.
In the third quarter of 2020, Canadian heavy sour crude was relatively unconstrained by pipelines as compared to the second half of 2019, leading to lower discounts to NYMEX WTI. Processing crude oils based on Western Canadian Select (“WCS”) and other cost-advantaged crudes continue to be an advantage.
We continue to focus on improving operations. Our total feedstock runs were 106,784 barrels 81,813 barrels per day (“bpd”) during the third quarter 2019,2020, compared to 94,866110,447 bpd during the third quarter 2018. This increase2019. This decrease is primarily attributed to improved plant utilization rates in the current period in comparison to the prior period when turnaround activities at the Shreveport refinery and certain third-party processing facilities and maintenance activities negatively impacted our operating results. We anticipate secular improvement in our utilization rates as we seek to minimize unplanned downtime at our facilities.
Gasoline margins are expected to decline as domestic demand follows typical seasonal patterns. Diesel demand typically declines in the fourth quarter but there is the potential to be positively affected by the implementationdivestment of the International Maritime Organization 2020 regulations.
Asphalt demand is expected to declineSan Antonio refinery with a capacity of 21,000 bpd and the termination of third-party naphthenic lubricating oils production in the fourth quarter of 2019 due2019. We intend to improve utilization rates by minimizing unplanned downtime at our facilities, while optimizing the seasonalityvolume and margin balance.
Our Specialty product margins have remained relatively stable but certain of our end markets are susceptible to changes in Gross Domestic Product. Over the road construction and roofing industries.
Environmental regulationslong term, we continue to affectconsider our marginsspecialty products segment our core business and subject to economic conditions and available liquidity, we plan to seek appropriate ways to further invest in the form of the cost of RINs. To the extent we are unable to blend biofuels, we must purchase RINs in the open market to satisfy our annual requirement. The approximate 35% decrease in the price of RINs during the third quarter 2019 favorably affected our results of operations, as did the receipt of the RINs exemptions for all three of our fuels refineries. specialty products segment.

It is not possible to predict what future RINs volumes or costs may be given the volatile price of RINs but we continue to anticipate that RINs have the potential to remain a significant expense for our fuel products segment (inclusive(exclusive of the favorable impact of exemptions received), assuming current market prices for RINs continue.
Canadian heavy sour crude oil discounts have narrowed. The approximate 16% increase in comparison to the wide discounts seen throughout much of 2018 caused by the oversupply of sour crude oil and pipeline constraints restricting access to markets. The price of domestically produced mid-continent crude is expected to continue to trade at a discount relative to internationally produced crude reflecting increased domestic production combined with transportation constraints. Processing crude oils priced based on WCS and other cost-advantaged crudes will continue to be a focusRINs during the third quarter 2020 unfavorably affected our results of ours in 2019.operations.
Specialty product margins, as a percentage of sales, have remained relatively stable and are expected to remain stable in the near term. We continue to consider our specialty products segment our core business over the long term, and we plan to seek appropriate ways to further invest in our specialty products segment.
We continue to evaluate opportunities to divest non-core businesses and assets in line with our strategy of preserving liquidityde-leveraging and streamlining our business to better focus on the advancement of our core business. In addition, we may also consider the disposition of certain core assets or businesses, to the extent such a transaction would improve our capital structure or otherwise be accretive to the Company. There can be no assurance as to the timing or success of any such potential transaction, or any other transaction, or that we will be able to sell such assets or businesses on satisfactory terms, if at all. In addition, our acquisition program targetsas economic conditions improve, we may seek acquisitions of assets that management believes will be financially accretive and consistent with our strategic goals.
We developed and executed a plan to manage health and safety risks and business continuity to protect our workforce and business during the COVID-19 pandemic. Comprehensive guidelines and requirements for the return to work of personnel to their locations have been implemented. To reinforce cost control and preserve cash, we intendare reducing our fixed and variable costs associated with cost of sales, restructuring our organization to match activity where necessary, and reducing our planned capital investment program by more than 30%, with our focus on targeted strategic acquisitions of specialty products assets that leverage an existing core competencyour replacement, maintenance and that have an identifiable competitive advantage we can exploit as the new owner.turnaround projects. 
Key Matters, Claims and Legal Proceedings
We were a party to a 2014 Throughput and Deficiency Agreement with TexStar Midstream Logistics, L.P. (“TexStar”) pursuant to which TexStar delivered crude oil to our San Antonio refinery through a crude oil pipeline system owned and operated by TexStar (the “Pipeline Agreement”). The Pipeline Agreement had an initial term of 20 years and was accounted for as a finance lease on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. TexStar and us has each terminated the Pipeline Agreement for alleged breaches of the agreement. We ceased using the asset as of February 28, 2019, wrote off the associated net book value of $10.7 million to loss on impairment and disposal of assets in our unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations and reclassified the $38.1 million present value of financing lease obligation from current and long-term debt to other current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. We are in dispute with TexStar over whether any additional monies are owed with TexStar claiming certain minimum amounts of $0.0 to $0.5 million a month continue to be owed through the remainder of the original term of the Pipeline Agreement. The Company filed a lawsuit against TexStar on May 17, 2019 in Bexar County, Texas, seeking a declaratory judgment that the Company properly terminated the Pipeline Agreement and the Company is not obligated to make further payments under the Pipeline Agreement. The litigation is currently pending. The Company believes it will prevail in the dispute over whether

further payments are owed, but pending resolution, the $38.1 million is recorded as a current liability on its condensed consolidated balance sheets. On November 10, 2019,  the Company, TexStar, and related parties entered into a Settlement and Release Agreement with respect to the litigation. Please see Note 15 - “Subsequent Events” for further information.
On October 31, 2018, the Company received an indemnity claim notice (the “Claim Notice”) from Husky Superior Refining Holding Corp. (“Husky”) under the Membership Interest Purchase Agreement, dated August 11, 2017 (the “MIPA”), which was entered into in connection with the disposition of the Superior Refinery. The Claim Notice relates to alleged losses Husky incurred in connection with a fire at the Husky Superior refinery on April 26, 2018, over five months after Calumet sold Husky 100% of the membership interests in the entity that owns the Husky Superior refinery. Calumet understands the fire occurred during a turnaround of the Husky Superior refinery at a time when Husky owned, operated, and supervised the refinery. Calumet was not involved with the turnaround. The U.S. Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board (“CSB”) is currently investigating the fire butfire. The CSB has not contacted Calumet in connection with that investigation or suggested that Calumet is responsible for the fire. Husky’s Claim Notice alleges that Husky “has become aware of facts which may give rise to losses” for which it reserved the right to seek indemnification at a later date. The Claim Notice further alleges breaches of certain representations, warranties, and covenants contained in the MIPA. We believe that the information currently publicly available about the fire and the CSB investigation does not support Husky’s threatened claims, and Husky has not filed a lawsuit against Calumet. If Husky were to seek recourse under the MIPA for such claims, they would be subject to certain limits on indemnification liability that may reduce or eliminate any potential indemnification liability.

Financial Results
We reported a net loss from continuing operationsof $56.1 million in the third quarter 2020, versus a net loss of $4.6 million in the third quarter 2019, versus a net loss from continuing operations2019. We reported Adjusted EBITDA (as changed during the period ended March 31, 2020 and defined in Note 12 - “Segments and Related Information” under Part I, Item 1 “Financial Statements - Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements”) of $16.0$25.4 million in the third quarter 2018. We reported Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations (as defined in “Non-GAAP Financial Measures”) of $73.5 2020, versus $76.2 million in the third quarter 2019, versus $54.5 million in the third quarter 2018.2019. We generated cash from continuing operating activities of $65.6 million through the third quarter 2020, driven by decreases in the cash required from the changes in assets and liabilities, partially offset by lower gross profit when excluding the effects of lower of cost or market (“LCM”) adjustments. The Company generated cash from operating activities operations of $153.9 million through the third quarter 2019, driven by improved business performance that resulted in an increase in gross profit, lower interest expense and reductions in net working capital. The Company used cash in continuing operating activities operations of $29.3 million through the third quarter 2018.2019.

Commodity markets remainedcontinued to be volatile in the third quarter 2019,2020, contributing to fluctuations in refined product margins. The average price of NYMEX WTI crudecrude oil decreased by approximately 18.7%27.5% in the third quarter 2019, 2020, when compared to the same period in 2018.2019, although the average price of NYMEX WTI crude oil increased approximately 46.1% from June 30, 2020 to September 30, 2020. In the third quarter 2019,2020, the average price differential per barrel between Western Canadian Select (“WCS”)WCS crude oil and NYMEX WTI averaged $13averaged $10 per barrelbarrel below NYMEX WTI, versus $29$13 per barrel below NYMEX WTI in the third quarter 2018. Given our access to cost advantaged, heavy Canadian crude oil in our northern refining system, we have embarked on a multi-year plan to increase our ability to process this crude oil grade over time based on market conditions and pricing.2019. In the third quarter 2019,2020, we processed approximately 25,600 bpd 25,500 bpd of heavy Canadian crude oil, versus 24,40025,600 bpd in the third quarter 2018.2019.
Specialty products segment Adjusted EBITDA was $52.5was $56.0 million in the third quarter 2019, 2020, versus $36.6$51.6 million in the third quarter 2018.2019. Relative to third quarter 2019, Specialty products third quarter 20192020 segment Adjusted EBITDA was primarily impacted by softer demand due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but the impact was largely offset from stronger margins in both the specialty oils & waxes business and the finished lubricants & chemicals business. Continued focus on cost improvements in fixed operating, transportation and SG&A contributed to the year over year improvement. The average price of NYMEX WTI improved over the quarter and the spot price increased production and stronger margins. Pricing weakness acrossslightly, leading to margin compression for the paraffinic base oil market continues to be a challenge, but has been offset by strengthening in our other specialty product lines.oils business. Third quarter 2019 2020 results were impacted by a $4.7 million favorable LCM inventory adjustment compared to a $0.9 million favorable LCM inventory adjustment in the third quarter 2019.
Fuel products segment Adjusted EBITDA was negative $13.5 million during the third quarter 2020, versus $47.7 million in the third quarter 2019, driven by decreased sales volumes, weaker U.S. Gulf Coast 3/2/1 crack spreads (“Gulf Coast crack spread”) and a tightening in the average pricing discount between WCS and NYMEX WTI of $3 when compared to the third quarter 2019. Third quarter 2020 results were impacted by a $0.5 $5.8 million unfavorable LCM inventory adjustment compared to a $3.6 million unfavorable LCM inventory adjustment in the third quarter 2018.2019.
Fuel products segment Adjusted EBITDA was $44.1 million during the third quarter 2019, versus $41.9 million in the third quarter 2018, due primarily to increased sales volume as a result of improved plant utilization rates, and slightly higher U.S. Gulf Coast 2/1/1 crack spreads (“Gulf Coast crack spread”), offset by the tightening of WCS and WTI Midland differentials to NYMEX WTI when comparing periods. Third quarter 2019 results were impacted by a $3.6 million unfavorable LCM inventory adjustment compared to a $1.8 million unfavorable LCM inventory adjustment in the third quarter 2018.

Corporate segment Adjusted EBITDA waswas negative $17.1 million in the third quarter 2020 versus negative $23.1 million in the third quarter 2019, versus $24.0 million in the third quarter 2018, due primarily from interest income as a result of the cash reserves used to effect the debt reduction during 2019.cost reductions in outside services and corporate staffing.
For benchmarking purposes, we compare our per barrel refined fuel products margin to the Gulf Coast crack spread. The Gulf Coast crack spread represents the approximate gross margin per barrel that results from processing twothree barrels of crude oil into one barreltwo barrels of gasoline and one barrel of ultra-low sulfur dieseldistillate fuel. The Gulf Coast crack spread is calculated using the near-month futures price of NYMEX WTI crude oil, the price of U.S. Gulf Coast Pipeline 87 Octane Conventional Gasoline and the price of U.S. Gulf Coast Pipeline Ultra-Low Sulfur Diesel (“ULSD”). During the third quarter 2019,2020, the Gulf Coast crack spread averaged approximately $19approximately $8 per barrelbarrel compared to approximately $18$19 per barrel in the same period in 2018,2019, an approximate 2.2% increase.56.4% decrease. The Gulf Coast ULSD crack spread averaged approximately $21approximately $8 per barrel during the third quarter 20192020 and $20approximately $21 per barrel in the third quarter 2018.2019. The Gulf Coast gasoline crack spread averaged approximately $16$8 per barrel during the third quarter 2019,2020, compared to approximately $16 per barrel in the same period in 2018.2019.
Acquisitions
On March 2, 2020, we acquired a 100% ownership interest in Paralogics, LLC, a producer of candle and industrial wax blends, using cash on hand. This investment expanded Calumet’s presence in the specialty wax blending and packaging market while adding new capabilities into Calumet's existing wax business value chain, adding approximately 20 million pounds of annual blending and formulating capabilities.
Liquidity Update
As of September 30, 2019,2020, we had total liquidity of $437.7of $269.3 million comprised of $164.2$109.4 million ofof cash and availability under our revolving credit facility of $273.5$159.9 million. As of September 30, 2019,2020, we hadhad a $343.6$289.7 million borrowing base, $70.1borrowing base, $29.7 million in outstanding standby letters of credit and no$100.1 million of outstanding borrowings.borrowings under the revolving credit facility. In April 2020, we received $31.4 million in Paycheck Protection Program Loans under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”), which we subsequently repaid. We believe we will continue to have sufficient liquidity from cash on hand, projected cash flow from operations, borrowing capacity and other means by which to meet our financial commitments, debt service obligations, contingencies and anticipated capital expenditures.
On September 4, 2019, we entered into the first amendment to the third amended and restated senior secured revolving credit facility. The amendment expands the borrowing base by $99.6 million on the Effective Date (as defined in the amendment) by adding the fixed assets of our Great Falls, MT refinery as collateral for the bank group. The $99.6 million expansion amortizes to zero on a straight-line basis over ten quarters starting in the first quarter of 2020. Additionally, while the fixed assets of the Great Falls, MT refinery are included in the borrowing base, the amendment provides for a 25 basis points increase in the applicable margin rates, as well as increases in the minimum availability under the revolving credit facility required for us to be able to perform certain actions, including to make restricted payments of other distributions, sell or dispose of certain assets, make acquisitions or investments, or prepay other indebtedness. The proceeds of this borrowing base expansion along with cash on hand and proceeds from the new 2025 Notes offering will be used to retire the 2021 Notes. Please read Note 15 - “Subsequent Events”“- Liquidity and Capital Resources” and Part II, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” for additional information.
Renewable Fuel Standard Update
Along with the broader refining industry, we remain subject to compliance costs under the Renewable Fuel Standard (“RFS”). Under the regulation of the EPA, the RFS provides annual requirements for the total volume of renewable fuels which are mandated to be blended into finished transportation fuels. If a refiner does not meet its required annual Renewable Volume Obligation, the refiner can purchase blending credits in the open market, referred to as RINs. On October 28, 2019, the EPA published a supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking that will effectively increase the RINs Obligations of non-exempt refiners and other obligates parties beginning in compliance year 2020. The EPA held a public hearing on the supplemental proposal on October 30, 2019 and plans to issue a final rule in 2019.
41


During the third quarter 2019,2020, we recognized a RINs expense of $16.0 million, compared to a RINs gain of $11.0 million, compared to a RINs expense of $1.8 million, for the third quarter 2018.2019. For the full-year 2019,2020, we anticipate our gross RINs Obligation will be 85be approximately 76.4 million RINs.RINs spread across four compliance categories (D3, D4, D5 and D6). Estimated RINs Obligations remain subject to fluctuations in fuels production volumes during the full-year 2019.2020. The gross RINs Obligations exclude our own renewables blending as well as the potential for any subsequent hardship waivers.
In August 2019, the EPA granted the Company’s fuel products refineries a “small refinery exemption” under the RFS for the compliance year 2018, as provided for under the CAA.federal Clean Air Act, as amended. In granting those exemptions, the EPA, in consultation with the Department of Energy, determined that for the compliance year 2018, compliance with the RFS would represent a “disproportionate economic hardship” for these small refineries. The RINs exemption resulted in a decrease in the RINs Obligation and is chargedwas recorded as a reduction to cost of sales in the unaudited condensed consolidated statementstatements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019.
We continue to anticipate that expenses related to RFS compliance have the potential to remain a significant expense for our fuel products segment, assuming currentsegment. If legal or regulatory changes occur that have the effect of increasing our RINs Obligation or eliminating or narrowing the availability of the “small refinery exemption” under the RFS program, we could be required to purchase additional RINs in the open market, prices for RINs continue.which may materially increase our costs related to RFS compliance and could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and liquidity.
Key Performance Measures
Our sales and net loss are principally affected by the price of crude oil, demand for specialty products and fuel products, prevailing crack spreads for fuel products, the price of natural gas used as fuel in our operations and our results from derivative instrument activities.
Our primary raw materials are crude oil and other specialty feedstocks, and our primary outputs are specialty petroleum products and fuel products. The prices of crude oil, specialty products and fuel products are subject to fluctuations in response to changes in supply, demand, market uncertainties and a variety of factors beyond our control. We monitor these risks and from

time-to-time enter into derivative instruments designed to help mitigate the impact of commodity price fluctuations on our business. The primary purpose of our commodity risk management activities is to economically hedge our cash flow exposure to commodity price risk so that we can meet our debt service and capital expenditure requirements despite fluctuations in crude oil and fuel products prices. We also may hedge when market conditions exist that we believe to be out of the ordinary and particularly supportive of our financial goals. We enter into derivative contracts for future periods in quantities that do not exceed our projected purchases of crude oil and natural gas and sales of fuel products. Please read Part I, Item 3 “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk — Commodity Price Risk” and Note 109 — “Derivatives” under Part I, Item 1 “Financial Statements — Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.”
Our management uses several financial and operational measurements to analyze our performance. These measurements include the following:
sales volumes;
production yields;
segment gross profit;
segment Adjusted EBITDA; and
selling, general and administrative expenses.
Sales volumes. We view the volumes of specialty products and fuel products sold as an important measure of our ability to effectively utilize our operating assets. Our ability to meet the demands of our customers is driven by the volumes of crude oil and feedstocks that we run at our facilities. Higher volumes improve profitability both through the spreading of fixed costs over greater volumes and the additional gross profit achieved on the incremental volumes.
Production yields. In order to maximize our gross profit and minimize lower margin products, we seek the optimal product mix for each barrel of crude oil we refine, or feedstocks we, or third parties, process, which we refer to as production yield.
Segment gross profit. Specialty products and fuel products gross profit (loss) are important measures of our ability to maximize the profitability of our specialty products and fuel products segments. We define gross profit as sales less the cost of crude oil and other feedstocks and other production-related expenses, the most significant portion of which includes labor, plant fuel, utilities, contract services, maintenance, depreciation and processing materials. We use gross profit as an indicator of our ability to manage our business during periods of crude oil and natural gas price fluctuations, as the prices of our specialty products and fuel products generally do not change immediately with changes in the price of crude oil and natural gas. The increase or decrease in selling prices typically lags behind the rising or falling costs, respectively, of crude oil feedstocks for specialty products. Other than plant fuel, production-related expenses generally remain stable across broad ranges of specialty products and fuel products throughput volumes but can fluctuate depending on maintenance activities performed during a specific period.
42

Our fuel products segment gross profit (loss) per barrel may differ from standard U.S. Gulf Coast, PADD 4 Billings, Montana or 3/2/1 and 2/1/1 market crack spreads due to many factors, including our fuel products mix as shown in our production table being different than the ratios used to calculate such market crack spreads, LCM and LIFO inventory adjustments reflected in gross profit, operating costs including fixed costs, actual crude oil costs differing from market indices and our local market pricing differentials for fuel products in the Shreveport, Louisiana San Antonio, Texas, and Great Falls, Montana vicinities as compared to U.S. Gulf Coast and PADD 4 Billings, Montana postings.
Segment Adjusted EBITDA. We believe that specialty products and fuel products segment Adjusted EBITDA measures are useful as they exclude transactions not related to our core cash operating activities and provide metrics to analyze our ability to pay distributions to our unitholders and pay interest to our noteholders as Adjusted EBITDA is a component in the calculation of Distributable Cash Flow and allows us to meaningfully analyze the trends and performance of our core cash operations as well as to make decisions regarding the allocation of resources to segments. The corporate segment Adjusted EBITDA primarily reflects general and administrative costs not related to our core cash operating activities.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We include in this Quarterly Report the non-GAAP financial measures EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow. We provide reconciliations of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow to Net loss, our most directly comparable financial performance measure. We also provide a reconciliation of Distributable Cash Flow, Adjusted EBITDA and EBITDA to Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, our most directly comparable liquidity measure. Both Net income (loss)loss and Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities are calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow are used as supplemental financial measures by our management and by external users of our financial statements such as investors, commercial banks, research analysts and others, to assess:
the financial performance of our assets without regard to financing methods, capital structure or historical cost basis;
the ability of our assets to generate cash sufficient to pay interest costs and support our indebtedness;
44

our operating performance and return on capital as compared to those of other companies in our industry, without regard to financing or capital structure; and
the viability of acquisitions and capital expenditure projects and the overall rates of return on alternative investment opportunities.
Management believes that these non-GAAP measures are useful to analysts and investors as they exclude transactions not related to our core cash operating activities and provide metrics to analyze our ability to pay interest costs and distributions. However, the indentures governing our senior notes contain covenants that, among other things, restrict our ability to pay distributions. We believe that excluding these transactions allows investors to meaningfully analyze trends and performance of our core cash operations.

We define EBITDA for any period as net income (loss)loss plus interest expense (including amortization of debt issuance costs), income taxes and depreciation and amortization.
During the first quarter of 2020, the CODM changed the definition and calculation of Adjusted EBITDA, which we use for evaluating performance, allocating resources and managing the business. The revised definition and calculation of Adjusted EBITDA now includes LCM inventory adjustments and LIFO adjustments, see items (g) and (h) below, which were previously excluded. This revised definition and calculation better reflects the performance of our Company’s business segments including cash flows. Adjusted EBITDA has been revised for all periods presented to consistently reflect this change.
We define Adjusted EBITDA for any period as EBITDA adjusted for (a) impairment; (b) unrealized gains and losses from mark to marketmark-to-market accounting for hedging activities; (c) realized gains and losses under derivative instruments excluded from the determination of net income (loss); (d) non-cash equity-based compensation expense and other non-cash items (excluding items such as accruals of cash expenses in a future period or amortization of a prepaid cash expense) that were deducted in computing net income (loss); (e) debt refinancing fees, premiums and penalties; (f) any net loss realized in connection with an asset sale that was deducted in computing net income (loss); (g) LCM inventory adjustments; (h) the impact of liquidation of inventory layers calculated using the LIFO method; and (g)(i) all extraordinary, unusual or non-recurring items of gain or loss, or revenue or expense.
We define Distributable Cash Flow for any period as Adjusted EBITDA less replacement and environmental capital expenditures, turnaround costs, cash interest expense (consolidated interest expense less non-cash interest expense), incomegain (loss) from unconsolidated affiliates, netnet of cash distributions and income tax expense (benefit).
The definition of Adjusted EBITDA presented in this Quarterly Report is consistent withsimilar to the calculation of “Consolidated Cash Flow” contained in the indentures governing our 2021 Notes, 2022 Notes and 2023Senior Notes (as defined in this Quarterly Report). and the calculation of “Consolidated EBITDA” contained in the Credit Agreement. We are required to report Consolidated Cash Flow to the holders of our 2021 Notes, 2022Senior Notes and 2023 Notes and AdjustedConsolidated EBITDA to the lenders under our revolving credit facility, and these measures are used by them to determine our compliance with certain covenants governing those debt instruments. Please read Part I, Item 2 “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Liquidity and Capital Resources - Debt and Credit Facilities” for additional details regarding the covenants governing our debt instruments.
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow should not be considered alternatives to Net loss, Operating income (loss), Operating income, Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP. In evaluating our performance as measured by EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow, management recognizes and considers the limitations of these measurements. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect our obligations for the payment of income taxes, interest expense or other obligations such as capital expenditures. Accordingly, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow are only three of several measurements that management utilizes. Moreover, our EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of another company because all companies may not calculate EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow in the same manner.

In 2018, the Company and The Heritage Group formed Biosyn Holdings, LLC (“Biosyn”) for the purposes of acquiring Biosynthetic Technologies, LLC (“Biosynthetic Technologies”), a startup company which developed an intellectual property portfolio for the manufacture of renewable-based and biodegradable esters. The initial cash investment of $3.8 million made by the Company into Biosyn was expensed in the period ended March 31, 2018 given Biosyn’s operations were all related to research and development. The Company accounts for its ownership in Biosyn under the equity method of accounting. During March 2019, the Company sold its investment to The Heritage Group and recognized a gain of $5.0 million. For comparability purposes, $3.8 million of the gain is included in Adjusted EBITDA for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

Specialty products segment sales increased $6.6decreased $74.5 million period over period, or 1.9%20.9%, primarilyprimarily due to an increasea $33.8 million decrease in sales volume offset byand a decrease in the average selling price per barrel. The 11.5% increase in sales volume is primarily the result of increased utilization and efficiency during the period compared to the same period in 2018 where there was significant downtime. The average selling price per barrel decreased $14.20, or 8.6%, resulting in a $33.5$40.7 million decrease in sales, driven bysales prices as a nearly $12.00 decrease in the average costresult of crude oil per barrel.weak market conditions. The decrease in the average selling pricesales volumes was primarilya result of softened demand due to a decreasethe COVID-19 pandemic, unplanned downtime at multiple facilities in NYMEX WTI crude oil prices during the third quarter of 2019.2020 due to Hurricane Laura, and the termination of a third-party naphthenic lubricating oil production arrangement.

Fuel products segment salessales decreased $30.5$287.1 million period over period, or 5.0%50.0%, primarilyprimarily due to a $135.2 million decreasein sales prices as a result of weak market conditions and the absence of $126.3 million of sales from the divestment of the San Antonio refinery in the average selling price per barrel, partially offset by increasedfourth quarter of 2019. Also, there was a negative impact to gross profit due to lower sales volume. The 9.8% increase in sales volume isvolumes at our Shreveport refinery, which was the result of improveda shut-down at the plant utilization in 2019 as compared to the same period in 2018 where there was significant downtime. The average selling price per barrel decreased $11.39, or 13.5%, resulting in a $89.5 million decrease in sales, primarily driven by a nearly $9.00 decrease in the average costthird quarter of crude oil per barrel.

The increase in specialty products segment gross profit of $12.3$5.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020, as compared to the same period in 2019, was primarily due to the net impact of lower cost of materials and sales price, which increased gross profit by $8.8 million, as well as a reduction in operating costs of $5.7 million and a favorable change in non-cash LCM charges of $3.8 million in the current quarter in comparison to the prior year comparative period. The net impact of lower cost of materials, due to relatively low crude costs, and sales price was partially offset by an unfavorable impact of $12.5 million for lower sales volumes, which was primarily due to softened demand and the termination of the third-party naphthenic lubricating oils production arrangement.

The components of the $79.0 million decrease in fuel products segment gross profit (loss) for the three months ended September 30, 2019, as compared to the same period in 2018, was due primarily to a decrease in the cost of materials of $32.1 million, an increase in sales volume and a favorable LCM inventory adjustment of $1.4 million, partially offset by decrease in sales price and an increase in operating costs. Sales price and cost of materials, net, decreased gross profit by $1.4 million, as the average selling price per barrel decreased $14.20 driven by a decrease of nearly $12.00 in the average cost of crude oil per barrel and other market conditions. The increase in sales volume was due primarily to increased utilization and efficiency during the period compared to the same period in 2018. The increase in operating costs was primarily due to increased incentive compensation costs, increased depreciation and amortization and increased repairs and maintenance, partially offset by decreased professional services.

The increasedecrease was primarily due to a $9.3$19.0 million decrease in professional fees, a $2.4 million decrease in equity based compensation related expenses, a $5.7 million decrease in labor and benefits, a $1.7 million decrease in travel and entertainment, an $0.8 million decrease in dues and subscriptions and a $0.6 million decrease in communication expenses. These decreases were partially offset by a $0.7 million increase in professional feesrestructuring expense and a $0.6 million increase rentalin insurance expenses.
Transportation. Transportation expenses decreased $12.2 million, or 12.7%, to $83.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2020, from $95.9 million in the same period in 2019. The decrease was primarily due to the outbound freight expense .decreasing with sales volumes.

This increase was duethe comparative period from 2019. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, Loss on impairment and disposal of assets consisted of a $5.1 million write-off of other receivable for the remaining payment related to the sale of Anchor Drilling Fluids USA, LLC in 2017 and $1.5 million for the disposal of assets related to Bel-Ray facility (please read Note 13 - “Restructuring” for additional information regarding the Company’s restructuring program). For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, Loss on impairment and disposal of assets consisted of $10.7 million for the Company’s cease of use of the assets associated with the TexStar Midstream Logistics, L.P.

The changeincrease was primarily due to a 2018 operating income benefit from the reductionan increase in other claims and settlements of the RINs liability associated with the sale$8.0 million and increased environmental expenses of the Superior Refinery.$1.4 million.
Interest expense.expense. Interest expense from continuing operations decreased $21.2$6.0 million, or 17.6%6.0%, to $99.2$93.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2019,2020, from $120.4$99.2 million in the same period in 2018, primarily2019, mostly due to the redemptioninterest payments we received for financing costs related to our Supply and Offtake Agreements in the current year in comparison to the interest payments we made for the arrangements in the prior year comparative period. The favorable impact of our 6.50% Notes due April 2021 (“2021 Notes”) in 2019receipts and decreased revolving credit facility borrowings, partially offset by an increase inpayments of interest related tobetween the comparative periods for the Supply and Offtake Agreements.Agreements was partially offset by interest incurred for increased borrowings on our revolving credit facility in the current year in comparison to the prior year comparative period.
Gain (loss) from debtDebt extinguishment costs. The CompanyCompany incurred debt extinguishment costs from continuing operations of $58.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 related to the redemption of the 2021 Secured Notes which were redeemed in April 2018, compared to a gain on debt extinguishment costs of $0.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 related to the repurchaseredemption of a portion of ourthe 2021 Secured Notes during the period.

Gain (loss) on derivative instruments. There was a $14.4$57.7 million gain on derivative instruments in the nine months ended September 30, 2019,2020, compared to a $2.0$14.4 million lossgain in the same period in 2018. The change was primarily due to a $37.0 million increase in realized gains, partially offset by a $20.6 million increase in unrealized losses.2019. The increase in unrealized lossesgain on derivative instruments was primarily due to a $33.2 million increase in unrealized losses onlargely driven by WCS crude oil basis swaps (both realized and diesel swaps used to economically hedge purchases and sales driven byunrealized) that locked in WCS/NYMEX WTI differentials greater than the average market conditions, partially offset by a decrease in unrealized losses of $13.6 million on embedded derivatives associated with our Supply and Offtake Agreements. The decrease in realized losses was primarily related to settlements of derivative instruments used to economically hedge crack spreads,differential during the current year; whereas, there were no WCS crude oil and diesel swaps.
Net loss from discontinued operations. Net loss from discontinued operations was $3.1 million in nine months ended September 30, 2018. In November 2017, we completedbasis swaps outstanding as of the divestitureend of Anchor. Prior to being reported as discontinued operations, Anchor was included as its own reportable segment as oilfield services. As a result, effective in the fourththird quarter of 2017, we classified our results of operations for all periods presented to reflect Anchor as a discontinued operation. The loss of $3.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 relates to a legal reserve and lease terminations. There was no comparable activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. Refer to Note 5 - “Discontinued Operations” in Part I, Item 1 “Financial Statements - Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” for additional information.
Seasonality
The operating results for the fuel products segment, including the selling prices of asphalt products we produce, generally follow seasonal demand trends. Asphalt demand is generally lower in the first and fourth quarters of the year, as compared to the second and third quarters, due to the seasonality of the road construction and roofing industries we supply. Demand for gasoline and diesel is generally higher during the summer months than during the winter months due to seasonal increases in highway traffic. In addition, our natural gas costs can be higher during the winter months, as demand for natural gas as a heating fuel increases during the winter. As a result, our operating results for the first and fourth calendar quarters may be lower than those for the second and third calendar quarters of each year due to seasonality related to these and other products that we produce and sell.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
General
The following should be read in conjunction with “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Liquidity and Capital Resources” included under Part II, Item 7 in our 20182019 Annual Report. There have been no material changes in that information other than as discussed below. Also, see Note 87 — “Inventory Financing Agreements” and Note 98 — “Long-Term Debt” under Part I, Item 1 “Financial Statements — Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” in this Quarterly Report for additional discussions related to our Supply and Offtake Agreements and our long-term debt.
Our principal sources of cash have historically included cash flow from operations, proceeds from public equity offerings, proceeds from asset sales, proceeds from notes offerings and bank borrowings. Principal uses of cash have included capital expenditures, acquisitions, distributions to our limited partners and general partner, debt service and debt service.redemptions and repurchases of debt. We may from time to time seek to retire or purchase our outstanding debt through cash purchases and/or exchanges for equity securities, in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, tender offers or otherwise. Such repurchases or exchanges, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors. The amounts involved may be material. Prevailing market conditions have been challenged by the COVID-19 pandemic, which could impact our ability to successfully access the public capital markets if needed. If we are unable to refinance or otherwise retire our 2022 Notes sufficiently in advance of their January 15, 2022 maturity, our liquidity may be adversely impacted through loss of trade credit with suppliers, or the imposition by our revolving credit facility lenders of an availability reserve on our borrowing capacity, as provided for in the Credit Agreement.
In general, we expect that our short-term liquidity needs including debt service, working capital, replacement and environmental capital expenditures and capital expenditures related to internal growth projects, will be met primarily through projected cash flow from operations, borrowings under our revolving credit facility and asset sales.

Cash Flows from Operating, Investing and Financing Activities
We are subject to business and operational risks that could materially adversely affect our cash flows. A material decrease in our cash flow from operations, including a significant, sudden decrease in crude oil prices, would likely produce a corollary material adverse effect on our borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facility and potentially our ability to comply with the covenants under our revolving credit facility. A significant, sudden increase in crude oil prices, if sustained, would likely result in increased working capital requirements which we expect would be funded by borrowings under our revolving credit facility. In addition, our cash flow from operations may be impacted by the timing of settlement of our derivative activities. Gains and losses from derivative instruments that do not qualify as hedges will impact operating cash flow in the period settled.
The following table summarizes our primary sources and uses of cash in each of the periods presented:

Operating Activities. Operating Operating activities provided cash of $153.9$65.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2019,2020, compared to usingproviding cash of $29.3$153.9 million during the same period in 2018.2019. The change was impacted by operating cash flow other than working capital adjustments including increaseddecreased net income from continuing operations of $68.2$61.9 million, a $31.1 millionand an increase in the loss on impairment and disposal of assets and a $20.6 million decrease in unrealized gain on derivatives, partially offset by a $26.8 million increase in the favorable LCM inventory adjustment and a increase of $4.0 million in other non-cash activities. Workingworking capital requirements decreased by $154.2of $33.1 million from the comparative period. The reductionincrease in working capital requirements during the nine months ended September 30, 20192020 was primarily driven by positivenegative changes in accounts payable, other liabilitiesinventories, turnaround costs and accrued interest payablesalaries, wages and benefits, partially offset by positive changes to accounts receivable and other liabilities in comparison to the same period in 2018.2019.
Investing Activities. Investing Investing activities used cash of $13.7$37.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2019,2020, compared to providinga use of cash of $13.5$13.7 million during the same period in 2018.2019. The change is primarily related to a decrease in net proceeds from the sale of businesses of $44.8$8.1 million offset by a $13.9 million decreaseincrease in cash spent on additions to property, plant and equipment, as well asthe absence of $5.0 million in cash proceeds we received from the sale of an increaseunconsolidated affiliate, a $3.7 million decrease in proceeds from sale of $3.8property, plant and equipment and a $3.3 million income from unconsolidated affiliates which relates to our investment in Biosynthetic Technologies in the first quarter of 2018.acquisition during 2020.
Financing Activities. Financing Financing activities usedprovided cash of $131.7$62.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2019,2020, compared to using cash of $433.0$131.7 million during the same period in 2018.2019. This change is primarily due to the repurchasean increase in net proceeds from borrowings under our revolving credit facility of $100.1 million, as well as a decrease in repayments for borrowings on our senior notes of $137.3 million, ofpartially offset by a $43.3 million change from being in a net payments position in 2019 to net proceeds in 2020 for our 2021 Notes during 2019 compared to payments of $446.6 million for the redemption (including debt extinguishment costs) of our 2021 Secured Notes in the same comparative period in 2018.Supply and Offtake Agreements.
Investment in Unconsolidated AffiliateAffiliates
In connection with the Anchor Transaction completed in November of 2017, wethe Company received an equitya 10% investment in FHC as part of the total consideration for Anchor. FHC provides oilfield services and products to customers globally. OurThe Company’s investment in FHC is a non-marketable equity security without a readily determinable fair value. We recordThe Company recorded this investment using a measurement alternative which valuesmeasures the security at cost lessminus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from qualifying observable price changes with a same or similar security from the same issuer.
During the three months ended June 30,second quarter of 2019, wethe Company determined the fair value of ourits investment in FHC was less than its carrying value of $25.4 million after evaluating indicators of impairment and valuing the investment using projected future cash flows and other Level 3 inputs. Utilizing an income approach, value indicationsindicators are developed by discounting expected cash flows to their present value at a rate of return that incorporates the risk-free rate for the use of funds, the expected rate of inflation and risks associated with the company. As a result, wethe Company recorded an impairment charge of $16.1 million, which is included in lossLoss on impairment and disposal of assets in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for the threenine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019.
During the three months ended September 30,third quarter of 2019, wethe Company determined the fair value of ourits investment in FHC was less than its carrying value of $9.3 million, as a result of a preferred stock issuance by FHC, which diluted ourthe Company’s ownership percentage. As a result, wethe Company recorded an impairment charge of $3.6 million in lossLoss on impairment and disposal of assets in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and a $19.7 million impairment charge for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

Supply and Offtake Agreements
On March 31, 2017, the Company entered into several agreements with Macquarie to support the operations of the Great Falls refinery (the “Great Falls Supply and Offtake Agreements”). On July 27, 2017, the Company amended the Great Falls Supply and Offtake Agreements to provide Macquarie the option to terminate the Great Falls Supply and Offtake Agreements effective nine months after the end of the applicable calendar quarter in which Macquarie elects to terminate and the Company has the option to terminate with ninety days’ notice at any time. On May 9, 2019, the Company entered into an amendment to the Great Falls Supply and Offtake Agreements to, among other things, extend the Expiration Date (as defined in the Great Falls Supply and Offtake Agreements) from September 30, 2019 to June 30, 2023.

On June 19, 2017, the Company entered into several agreements with Macquarie to support the operations of the Shreveport refinery (the “Shreveport Supply and Offtake Agreements” and together with the Great Falls Supply and Offtake Agreements, the “Supply and Offtake Agreements”). Since inception, the Shreveport Supply and Offtake Agreements were set to expire on June 30, 2020; however, Macquarie has the option to terminate the Shreveport Supply and Offtake Agreements effective nine months after the end of the applicable calendar quarter in which Macquarie elects to terminate and the Company has the option to terminate with ninety days’ notice at any time. On May 9, 2019, the Company entered into an amendment to the Shreveport Supply and Offtake Agreements to, among other things, extend the Expiration Date (as defined in the Shreveport Supply and Offtake Agreements) from June 30, 2020 to June 30, 2023.
The Supply and Offtake Agreements are subject to minimum and maximum inventory levels. The agreements also provide for the lease to Macquarie of crude oil and certain refined product storage tanks located at the Great Falls and Shreveport refineries. Following expiration or termination of the agreements, Macquarie has the option to require us to purchase the crude oil and refined product inventories then owned by Macquarie and located at the leased storage tanks at then current market prices. Our obligations under the agreements are secured by the inventory included in these agreements.
Biosyn Holdings, LLC and Biosynthetic Technologies
In February 2018, the Company and The Heritage Group formed Biosyn Holdings, LLC (“Biosyn”) for the purpose of acquiring Biosynthetic Technologies, LLC, a startup company which developed an intellectual property portfolio for the manufacture of renewable-based and biodegradable esters. In March 2019, the Company sold its investment in Biosyn to The Heritage Group, a related party, for total proceeds of $5.0 million, which was recorded in the “other” component of Other income (expense) on the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations. Prior to the sale of Biosyn, the Company accounted for its ownership in Biosyn under the equity method of accounting.
Capital Expenditures
Our property, plant and equipment capital expenditure requirements consist of capital improvement expenditures, replacement capital expenditures, environmental capital expenditures and turnaround capital expenditures. Capital improvement expenditures include expenditures to acquire assets to grow our business, to expand existing facilities, such as projects that increase operating capacity, or to reduce operating costs. Replacement capital expenditures replace worn out or obsolete equipment or parts. Environmental capital expenditures include asset additions to meet or exceed environmental and operating regulations. Turnaround capital expenditures represent capitalized costs associated with our periodic major maintenance and repairs.
The following table sets forth our capital improvement expenditures, replacement capital expenditures, environmental capital expenditures and turnaround capital expenditures in each of the periods shown (including capitalized interest):

In March 2019, the Company sold its investment in Biosyn to The Heritage Group, a related party, for total proceeds of $5.0 million, which was recorded in the “other” component of other income (expense) on the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations.

20192020 Capital Spending Forecast
We have a turnaround at the Shreveport refinery in the fourth quartercontinue to expect to incur capital expenditures of 2019. We have expanded the scope of the turnaround with the objective of avoiding any planned downtime of this facilityapproximately $50.0 million to $60.0 million in 2020, which reflects our previously announced reduction in an effort to capture any improvement in ULSD cracks caused by IMO 2020. As a result, we estimate ourexpected capital expenditures will be withinfor 2020 due to increased volatility with domestic and global demand resulting from the previously guided range of $80.0 million and $90.0 million in 2019, but will likely not be near the low end of the range.ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. We anticipate that capital expenditure requirements will be provided primarily through cash flow from operations, cash on hand, available borrowings under our revolving credit facility and by accessing capital markets as necessary. If future capital expenditures require expenditures in excess of our then-current cash flow from operations and borrowing availability under our existing revolving credit facility, we may be required to issue debt or equity securities in public or private offerings or incur additional borrowings under bank credit facilities to meet those costs. However, there is no assurance that we will be able to secure any additional capital that may be needed for these projects on reasonable terms or at all. Please read Part II, Item 1A. “Risk Factors.”
Debt and Credit Facilities
As of September 30, 2019,2020, our primary debt and credit instruments consisted of the following:
$600.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility maturing in February 2023 (“revolving credit facility”);

$761.2 million of 6.50% senior notes due 2021 (“2021 Notes”);
$350.0150.0 million of 7.625% senior notesSenior Notes due 2022 (“2022 Notes”); and
$325.0 million of 7.75% senior notesSenior Notes due 2023 (“2023 Notes”);
$200.0 million of 9.25% Senior Secured First Lien Notes due 2024 (“2024 Secured Notes”); and
$550.0 million of 11.00% Senior Notes due 2025 (“2025 Notes”).
We were in compliance with all covenants under the debt instruments in place as of September 30, 20192020 and believe we have adequate liquidity to conduct our business.

Short-Term Liquidity
As of September 30, 2019,2020, our principal sources of short-term liquidity were (i) $273.5$159.9 million of availability under our revolving credit facility, (ii) inventory financing agreements related to the Great Falls and Shreveport refineries and (iii) $164.2$109.4 million of cash on hand. Borrowings under our revolving credit facility can be used for, among other things, working capital, capital expenditures and other lawful partnership purposes including acquisitions.
On February 23, 2018, we entered into the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the "Credit Agreement"), which provided for our $600.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility maturing in February 2023. The revolving credit facility is subject to borrowing base limitation, with a maximum letter of credit sublimit of $300.0 million, which amount may be increased to 90% of revolver commitments in effect with the consent of the Agent.
On September 4, 2019, we entered into the First Amendment (the “First Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement. The amendment expands the borrowing base by $99.6 million on the Effective Date (as defined in the amendment)effective October 11, 2019 by adding the fixed assets of our Great Falls, MT refinery as collateral to the borrowing base. The $99.6 million expansion amortizes to zero on a straight-line basis over ten quarters starting in the first quarter of 2020. Additionally, while the fixed assets of the Great Falls, MT refinery are included in the borrowing base, the First Amendment provides for a 25 basis points increase in the applicable margin for loans, as well as increases in the minimum availability under the revolving credit facility required for us to be able to perform certain actions, including to make restricted payments of other distributions, sell or dispose of certain assets, make acquisitions or investments, or prepay other indebtedness. Among other conditions precedent that were required to be satisfied before the Effective Date, we were required to consummate an offering of at least $450.0 million aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes. The conditions precedent were not satisfied until October 11, 2019. Therefore, the $99.6 million expansion was not in effect as of September 30, 2019. Please read Note 15 - “Subsequent Events” for additional information.
Borrowings under the revolving credit facility are limited to a borrowing base that is determined based on advance rates of percentages of Eligible Accounts and Eligible Inventory (each as defined in the revolving credit facility agreement). As such, the borrowing base can fluctuate based on changes in selling prices of our products and our current material costs, primarily the cost of crude oil. The borrowing base is calculated in accordance with the revolving credit facility and agreed upon by us and the Agent (as defined in the revolving credit facility agreement). On September 30, 2019,2020, we had availability on our revolving credit facility of approximately $273.5$159.9 million, based on a borrowing base of approximately $343.6$289.7 million, $70.1$29.7 million in outstanding standby letters of credit and no$100.1 million of outstanding borrowings.borrowings under the revolving credit facility. The borrowing base cannot exceed the revolving credit facility commitments then in effect. The lender group under our revolving credit facility is comprised of a syndicate of nine lenders with total commitments of $600.0 million. The lenders under our revolving credit facility have a first priority lien on our accounts receivable, certain inventory and substantially all of our cash.
58

Amounts outstanding under our revolving credit facility can fluctuate materially during each quarter mainly due to cash flow from operations, normal changes in working capital, capital expenditures and debt service costs. Specifically, the amount borrowed under our revolving credit facility is typically at its highest level after we pay for the majority of our crude oil supply on the 20th day of every month per standard industry terms. DuringThe maximum revolving credit facility borrowings during the quarter ended September 30, 2019, we did not have any borrowings under the revolving credit facility.2020 were approximately $157.6 million. Our availability under our revolving credit facility during the peak borrowing days of the quarter has been sufficient to support our operations and service upcoming requirements. During the quarter ended September 30, 2019,2020, availability for additional borrowings under our revolving credit facility was approximately $259.7$80.0 million at its lowest point.
The revolving credit facility currently bears interest at a rate equal to prime plus an applicable margin, or LIBOR plus an applicable margin, at our option, which applicable margin ranges between 50 basis points and 100 basis points for base rate loans and 150 basis points to 200 basis points for LIBOR loans, depending on our average availability for additional borrowings for the preceding quarter. The margin applicable to loans under the first loaned in and last to be repaid out (“FILO”) tranche of the revolving credit facility range from 150 to 200 basis points for base rate FILO loans and 250 to 300 basis points for LIBOR based FILO loans. The credit agreement provides for a 25 basis point reduction in the applicable margin rates beginning in the quarter after our Leverage Ratio (as defined in the credit agreement) is less than 5.5 to 1.0. As weWe have met this test inconsistently since the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2019,2019. As a result, our applicable margin for the quarter ended and including, September 30, 20192020, was 2550 basis points for prime, 125150 basis points for LIBOR, 125150 basis points for prime rate based FILO loans and 225250 basis points for LIBOR based FILO loans; however, the margin can fluctuate quarterly based on our average availability for additional borrowings under the revolving credit facility in the preceding calendar quarter. Letters of credit issued under the revolving credit facility accrue fees at a rate equal to the margin (measured in basis points) applicable to the LIBOR revolver loans.

In addition to paying interest on outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility, we are required to pay a commitment fee to the lenders under the revolving credit facility with respect to the unutilized commitments thereunder at a rate equal to either 0.250% or 0.375% per annum, depending on the average daily available unused borrowing capacity for the preceding month. We also pay a customary letter of credit fee, including a fronting fee of 0.125% per annum of the stated amount of each outstanding letter of credit, and customary agency fees.
Our revolving credit facility contains various covenants that limit, among other things, our ability to: incur indebtedness; grant liens; dispose of certain assets; make certain acquisitions and investments; redeem or prepay other debt or make other restricted payments such as distributions to unitholders; enter into transactions with affiliates; and enter into a merger, consolidation or sale of assets. The revolving credit facility generally permits us to make cash distributions to our unitholders as long as, after giving effect to each such cash distribution, we have availability under the revolving credit facility and cash on hand totaling at least equal to the sum of the amount of FILO Loans outstanding plus the greater of (i) 15% of the Aggregate Borrowing Base (as defined in the revolving credit facility agreement) then in effect, or 25% while the Great Falls, MT refinery is included in the borrowing base, and (ii) $60.0 million (which amount is subject to increase in proportion to revolving commitment increases). Further, the revolving credit facility contains one springing financial covenant: if the availability of loans under the revolving credit facility falls below the sum of the amount of FILO loans outstanding plus the greater of (i) 10% of the Aggregate Borrowing Base, or 15% while the Great Falls, MT refinery is included in the borrowing base, and (ii) $35.0 million (which amount is subject to increase in proportion to revolving commitment increases), we will be required to maintain as of the end of each fiscal quarter a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined in the revolving credit facility agreement) of at least 1.0 to 1.0.
If an event of default exists under the revolving credit facility, the lenders will be able to accelerate the maturity of the credit facility and exercise other rights and remedies. An event of default includes, among other things, the nonpayment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts; failure of any representation or warranty to be true and correct when made or confirmed; failure to perform or observe covenants in the revolving credit facility or other loan documents, subject, in limited circumstances, to certain grace periods; cross-defaults in other indebtedness if the effect of such default is to cause, or permit the holders of such indebtedness to cause, the acceleration of such indebtedness under any material agreement; bankruptcy or insolvency events; monetary judgment defaults; asserted invalidity of the loan documentation; and a Change of Control (as defined in the revolving credit facility agreement).
For additional information regarding our revolving credit facility, see Note 98 - “Long-Term Debt” under Part I, Item 1 “Financial Statements — Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” in this Quarterly Report.
Long-Term Financing
In addition to our principal sources of short-term liquidity listed above, subject to market conditions, we may meet our cash requirements (other than distributions of Available Cash (as defined in our partnership agreement) to our common unitholders) through the issuance of long-term notes or additional common units.
59

From time to time we issue long-term debt securities, referred to as our senior notes. All of our outstanding senior notes, other than our 2024 Secured Notes, are unsecured obligations that rank equally with all of our other senior debt obligations to the extent they are unsecured. As of September 30, 2019,2020, we had $761.2 million in 2021 Notes, $350.0$150.0 million in 2022 Notes, and $325.0 million in 2023 Notes, $200.0 million in 2024 Secured Notes, and $550.0 million in 2025 Notes outstanding. As of December 31, 2018,2019, we had $900.0 million in 2021 Notes, $350.0 million in 2022 Notes, and $325.0 million in 2023 Notes outstanding.
During the three months ended September 30, 2019, we repurchased $49.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 2021 Notes at an average price of 99.4% of par value, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon up to, but not including the respective transaction dates. In conjunction with the repurchases during the three months ended September 30, 2019, we recorded no gain or loss from debt extinguishment.
As of September 30, 2019, we had repurchased $138.8 million aggregate principal amount of our 2021 Notes and the remaining principal amount following these repurchases was $761.2 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we recorded a net gain from debt extinguishment of $0.7 million. For more information regarding the repurchases of our 2021 Notes, see Note 9 - “Long-Term Debt” under Part I, Item 1 “Financial Statements - Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” in this Quarterly Report.
On October 11, 2019, we issued and sold $550.0 million aggregate principal amount of 11.00% Senior Notes due 2025 at par. We received net proceeds of $540.0 million net of initial purchasers’ discounts and estimated expenses. We used the net proceeds along with revolver borrowings and cash on hand to fund the redemption of the 2021 Notes.
On October 21, 2019, we redeemed at par $761.2 million aggregate principal amount outstanding of the remaining 2021 Notes issued in March 2014 with the net proceeds from the issuance of the 2025 Notes together with borrowings under our revolving credit facility and cash on hand, at a redemption price of $761.2 million, plus accrued and unpaid interest.

outstanding.
The indentures governing our senior notes contain covenants that, among other things, restrict our ability and the ability of certain of our subsidiaries to: (i) sell assets; (ii) pay distributions on, redeem or repurchase our common units or redeem or repurchase our subordinated debt; (iii) make investments; (iv) incur or guarantee additional indebtedness or issue preferred units; (v) create or incur certain liens; (vi) enter into agreements that restrict distributions or other payments from our restricted subsidiaries to us; (vii) consolidate, merge or transfer all or substantially all of our assets; (viii) engage in transactions with affiliates and (ix) create unrestricted subsidiaries. These covenants are subject to important exceptions and qualifications. At any time when the senior notes are rated investment grade by either Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”) or S&P Global Ratings (“S&P”) and no Default or Event of Default, each as defined in the indentures governing the senior notes, has occurred and is continuing, many of these covenants will be suspended. As of September 30, 2019,2020, our Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined in the indentures governing the 2021 Notes, 2022 Notes and 2023Senior Notes) was 2.3.1.6.
Upon the occurrence of certain change of control events, each holder of the senior notes will have the right to require that we repurchase all or a portion of such holder’s senior notes in cash at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus any accrued and unpaid interest to the date of repurchase.
We are subject, however, to conditions in the equity and debt markets for our common units and long-term senior notes, and there can be no assurance we will be able or willing to access the public or private markets for our common units and/or senior notes in the future. If we are unable or unwilling to issue additional common units, we may be required to either restrict capital expenditures and/or potential future acquisitions or pursue debt financing alternatives, some of which could involve higher costs or negatively affect our credit ratings. Furthermore, our ability to access the public and private debt markets is affected by our credit ratings.
For additional information regarding our senior notes, seeplease read Note 98 — “Long-Term Debt” under Part I, Item 1 “Financial Statements — Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” in this Quarterly Report and Note 9 — “Long-Term Debt” in Part II, Item 8 “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” of our 20182019 Annual Report.
Master Derivative Contracts and Collateral Trust Agreement
Under our credit support arrangements, our payment obligations under all of our master derivatives contracts for commodity hedging generally are secured by a first priority lien on our and our subsidiaries’ real property, plant and equipment, fixtures, intellectual property, certain financial assets, certain investment property, commercial tort claims, chattel paper, documents, instruments and proceeds of the foregoing (including proceeds of hedge arrangements). We had no additional letters of credit or cash margin posted with any hedging counterparty as of September 30, 2019.2020. Our master derivatives contracts continue to impose a number of covenant limitations on our operating and financing activities, including limitations on liens on collateral, limitations on dispositions of collateral and collateral maintenance and insurance requirements. For financial reporting purposes, we do not offset the collateral provided to a counterparty against the fair value of our obligation to that counterparty. Any outstanding collateral is released to us upon settlement of the related derivative instrument liability.
All credit support thresholds with our hedging counterparties are at levels such that it would take a substantial increase in fuel products crack spreads or interest rates to require significant additional collateral to be posted. As a result, we do not expect further increases in fuel products crack spreads or interest rates to significantly impact our liquidity.
Additionally, we have a collateral trust agreement (the “Collateral Trust Agreement”) which governs how secured hedging counterparties share collateral pledged as security for the payment obligations owed by us to the secured hedging counterparties under their respective master derivatives contracts. The Collateral Trust Agreement limits to $150.0 million the extent to which forward purchase contracts for physical commodities are covered by, and secured under, the Collateral Trust Agreement and the Parity Lien Security Documents (as defined in the Collateral Trust Agreement). There is no such limit on financially settled derivative instruments used for commodity hedging. Subject to certain conditions set forth in the Collateral Trust Agreement, we have the ability to add secured hedging counterparties from time to time.

2024 Secured Notes
On August 5, 2020, we consummated a transaction whereby we exchanged approximately $200.0 million aggregate principal amount of our outstanding 2022 Notes for $200.0 million aggregate principal amount of newly issued 2024 Secured Notes (the “Exchange Transaction”).

Consent Solicitation to Holders of the 2025 Notes and Supplemental Indenture
In connection with the Exchange Transaction, on August 5, 2020 we completed a solicitation of consents from holders of our outstanding 2025 Notes to certain proposed amendments to the indenture governing the 2025 Notes to allow us to consummate the Exchange Transaction. We paid consent fees of approximately $1.3 million in connection with obtaining these consents.
Following receipt of the required consents, the Company and the trustee of the 2025 Notes entered into the First Supplemental Indenture (the “Supplemental Indenture”) to the indenture governing the 2025 Notes, to permit the consummation of the Exchange Transaction. The Supplemental Indenture was effective on August 5, 2020.
Revolving Credit Facility Consent
On July 3, 2020, we executed a consent to the Credit Agreement allowing for the issuance of the 2024 Secured Notes. The consent was effective on August 5, 2020. We paid fees of $0.5 million in connection with obtaining this consent.
Collateral Trust Agreement Amendment
On July 31, 2020, we executed an amendment to the Collateral Trust Agreement and supporting documents to cause various references to the previously discharged 11.5% Senior Secured Notes due 2021 to refer instead to the 2024 Secured Notes, as well as other technical changes. The amendment was effective on August 5, 2020.

Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The following should be read in conjunction with “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” included under Part II, Item 7A in our 20182019 Annual Report. There have been no material changes in that information other than as discussed below. Also, seeplease read Note 109 — “Derivatives” under Part I, Item 1 “Financial Statements — Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” in this Quarterly Report for additional discussion related to derivative instruments and hedging activities.
Commodity Price Risk
Derivative Instruments
We are exposed to price risks due to fluctuations in the price of crude oil, refined products (primarily in our fuel products segment), natural gas and precious metals. We use various strategies to reduce our exposure to commodity price risk. We do not attempt to eliminate all of our risk as the costs of such actions are believed to be too high in relation to the risk posed to our future cash flows, earnings and liquidity. The strategies we use to reduce our risk utilize both physical forward contracts and financially settled derivative instruments, such as swaps, collars, options and futures, to attempt to reduce our exposure with respect to:
crude oil purchases and sales;
refined product sales and purchases;
natural gas purchases;
precious metals; and
fluctuations in the value of crude oil between geographic regions and between the different types of crude oil such as NYMEX WTI, Light Louisiana Sweet, WCS, WTI Midland, Mixed Sweet Blend, Magellan East Houston and ICE Brent.
Please read Note 109 — “Derivatives” in the notes to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements under Part I, Item 1 “Financial Statements — Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” for a discussion of the accounting treatment for the various types of derivative instruments, for a further discussion of our hedging policies and for more information relating to our implied crack spreads of crude oil, diesel, and gasoline derivative instruments.
Our derivative instruments and overall specialty products segment and fuel products segment hedging positions are monitored regularly by our risk management committee, which includes executive officers. The risk management committee reviews market information and our hedging positions regularly to determine if additional derivatives activity is advised. A summary of derivative positions and a summary of hedging strategy are presented to our general partner’s Board of Directors quarterly.
Compliance Price Risk
Renewable Identification Numbers
We are exposed to market risks related to the volatility in the price of credits needed to comply with governmental programs. The EPA sets annual quotas for the percentage of biofuels that must be blended into transportation fuels consumed in the U.S., and as a producer of motor fuels from petroleum, we are required to blend biofuels into the fuel products we produce at a rate that will meet the EPA’s annual quota. To the extent we are unable to blend biofuels at that rate or receive hardship exemptions, we must purchase RINs in the open market to satisfy the annual requirement. We have not entered into any derivative instruments to manage this risk, but we have purchased RINs when the price of these instruments is deemed favorable.risk.
Holding other variables related to RINs requirements constant, a $1.00 increase in the price of RINs as of September 30, 2019,2020, would be expected to have a negative impact on netNet income (loss) for 20192020 of approximately $50.3 $133.1 million.

63

Interest Rate Risk
Our exposure to interest rate changes on fixed and variable rate debt is limited to the fair value of the debt issued, which would not have a material impact on our earnings or cash flows. The following table provides information about the fair value of our fixed and variable rate debt obligations as of September 30, 20192020 and December 31, 2018,2019, which we disclose in Note 98 — “Long-Term Debt” and Note 1110 — “Fair Value Measurements” under Part I, Item 1 “Financial Statements — Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.”

For our variable rate debt, if any, changes in interest rates generally do not impact the fair value of the debt instrument but may impact our future earnings and cash flows. We had a $600.0 million revolving credit facility as of September 30, 2019,2020, with borrowings bearing interest at the prime rate or LIBOR, at our option, plus the applicable margin. Borrowings under this facility are variable. We had no$100.1 million of outstanding variable rate debt as of September 30, 20192020 and no outstanding variable rate debt as of December 31, 2018.2019.
Foreign Currency Risk
We have minimal exposure to foreign currency risk and as such the cost of hedging this risk is viewed to be in excess of the benefit of further reductions in our exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations.

Item 4.Controls and Procedures
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As required by Rule 13a-15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), we have evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, the effectiveness of the design and operation of 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. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file 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 rules and forms of the SEC. Based upon the evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2019,2020, at the reasonable assurance level due to a material weaknessesweakness in our internal controlscontrol over financial reporting as described below.
As of September 30, 2019,2020, the following material weaknessesweakness existed:
The ineffective design and implementation of effective controls with respect to the implementation of our enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) system consistent with our financial reporting requirements.  Specifically, management did not design effective controls over the ERP implementation to ensure appropriate data conversion and data integrity or provide sufficient end user training to our employees to ensure that our employees could effectively operate the system and carry out their responsibilities.
The untimely and insufficient operation of controls in the financial statement close process, including lack of timely account reconciliation, analysis and review related to all financial statement accounts.
TheseThis material weaknessesweakness resulted in not having adequate automated and manual controls designed and in place and not achieving the intended operating effectiveness of those controls which impactedimpacting all financial statement accounts and disclosures.
Given the material weaknessesweakness that existedexists as of September 30, 2019,2020 we have concluded that our internal control over financial reporting remained ineffective as of September 30, 2019.2020.
Planned Remediation Efforts to Address ExistingRemaining Material WeaknessesWeakness
Ineffective designIn order to remediate the remaining material weakness, the untimely and implementationinsufficient operation of ERP controls - Management completed the remediation plans around data integrity and conversion during the second quarter of 2019 and is testing those controls during the remainder of 2019. Those remediation efforts involved the following:
We implemented certain additional controls around data management and review to ensure accurate data integrity and change controls, including but not limited to, centralizing the data management function and implementing change controls. As we test the controls around data management, we may make additional changes to our processes or controls to ensure adequate remediation of the material weakness.
We reinforced the importance of our control environment across the Company, we provided additional training to employees to enhance their understanding of processes so they can effectively operate the system and perform the related controls. This training is ongoing and continues to be enhanced.
Financial statement close process - We continue to progress in the execution of our remediation plans associated with the financial statement close process, including lack of timely account reconciliation, analysis and are committedreview related to improvingall financial statement accounts, we continue to take steps to improve our internal controlsoverall processes and processes. These remediation planscontrols.
Remediation activities include, but are not limited to the following:
Reviewing, , analyzing and properly documenting account reconciliations and our processes related to internal controls over financial reporting.
Continuing to design and implement effective review and approval controls. These controls will address the accuracy and completeness of the data used in the performance of the respective controls.
We continue to progress in the execution of our remediation plan and are committed to continuing to review and improve our internal control processes and financial reporting controls and procedures. When fully implemented and operational, we believe the measures described above will remediate the control deficiencies that led to the remaining material weaknessesweakness identified above and strengthen our internal controls over financial reporting. As we continue to evaluate and work to improve our internal controls over financial reporting, we may determine to take additional measures to address control deficiencies or modify certain activities of the remediation measures described above.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
As described above, we have undertaken remediation actions to address the material weaknessesweakness in our internal control over financial reporting. These remediation actions continued throughout the quarter ended September 30, 20192020 but have not materially affected our internal control over financial reporting.

With the exception of the foregoing remediation actions and the changes described in the previous section, there have been no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the period covered by this Quarterly Report that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
