1. Description of the Business and Basis of Presentation

Description of the Business – MPLX LP is a diversified, large-cap master limited partnership formed by Marathon Petroleum Corporation that owns and operates midstream energy infrastructure and logistics assets, and provides fuels distribution services. References in this report to “MPLX LP,” “MPLX,” “the Partnership,” “we,” “ours,” “us,” or like terms refer to MPLX LP and its subsidiaries. References to “MPC” refer collectively to Marathon Petroleum Corporation as our sponsor and its subsidiaries, other than the Partnership. We are engaged in the transportation, storage and distribution of crude oil, asphalt and refined petroleum products; the gathering, processing and transportation of natural gas; and the gathering, transportation, fractionation, storage and marketing of NGLs. MPLX’s principal executive office is located in Findlay, Ohio.

MPLX’s business consists of 2 segments based on the nature of services it offers: Logistics and Storage (“L&S”), which relates primarily to crude oil, asphalt and refined petroleum products; and Gathering and Processing (“G&P”), which relates primarily to natural gas and NGLs. See Note 9 for additional information regarding the operations and results of these segments.

On July 30, 2019, MPLX completed its acquisition by merger (the “Merger”) of Andeavor Logistics LP (“ANDX”). At the effective time of the Merger, each common unit held by ANDX’s public unitholders was converted into the right to receive 1.135 MPLX common units. ANDX common units held by certain affiliates of MPC were converted into the right to receive 1.0328 MPLX common units. See Note 3 for additional information regarding the Merger.

Impairments – The outbreak of COVID-19 and its development into a pandemic in March 2020 resulted in significant economic disruption globally. Actions taken by various governmental authorities, individuals and companies around the world to prevent the spread of COVID-19 through social distancing have restricted travel, many business operations, public gatherings and the overall level of individual movement and in-person interaction across the globe. Although there have been some signs of economic improvement, these events significantly reduced global economic activity and resulted in a decline in the demand for the midstream services we provide beginning with the first quarter of 2020. Macroeconomic conditions and global geopolitical events have also resulted in significant price volatility related to those aforementioned products.

The overall deterioration in the economy and the environment in which MPLX and its customers operate, as well as a sustained decrease in unit price, were considered triggering events resulting in impairments of the carrying value of certain assets during the first quarter of 2020. We recognized impairments related to goodwill, certain equity method investments and certain long-lived assets (including intangibles), within our G&P segment. Many of our producer customers refined and updated production forecasts in response to the current environment, which impacted their current and expected future demand for our services, including the future utilization of our assets. Additionally, certain of our contracts have commodity price exposure, including NGL prices, which have experienced increased volatility as noted above. The table below provides information related to the impairments recognized during the first quarter of 2020 as well as the corresponding footnote where additional information can be found. No additional events or circumstances arose during the second quarter of 2020 which would indicate the need for any additional impairment beyond those recognized during the first quarter.

Basis of Presentation – The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements are unaudited; however, in the opinion of MPLX’s management, these statements reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results for the periods reported. All such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature unless otherwise disclosed. These interim consolidated financial statements, including the notes, have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC applicable to interim period financial statements and do not include all of the information and disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Certain amounts in prior years have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.

These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.2019. The results of

Table of Contents

operations for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20192020 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

In relation to the Merger described above and in Note 3, ANDX’s assets, liabilities and results of operations prior to the Merger are collectively included in what we refer to as the “Predecessor” from October 1, 2018, which was the date that MPC acquired Andeavor. MPLX’s acquisition of ANDX is considered a transfer between entities under common control due to MPC’s relationship with ANDX prior to the Merger. As an entity under common control with MPC, MPLX recorded the assets acquired and liabilities assumed on its consolidated balance sheets at MPC’s historical carrying value. Transfers of businesses between entities under common control require prior periods to be retrospectively adjusted for those dates that the entity was under common control. Accordingly, the accompanying financial statements and related notes of MPLX LP have been retrospectively adjusted to include the historical results of ANDX beginning October 1, 2018.

MPLX’s consolidated financial statements include all majority-owned and controlled subsidiaries. For non wholly-ownedwholly owned consolidated subsidiaries, the interests owned by third parties have been recorded as “Noncontrolling interests” on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. Intercompany investments, accounts and transactions have been eliminated. MPLX’s investments in which MPLX exercises significant influence but does not control and does not have a controlling financial interest are accounted for using the equity method. MPLX’s investments in a VIEVIEs in which MPLX exercises significant influence but does not control and is not the primary beneficiary are also accounted for using the equity method.

In preparing the Consolidated Statements of Equity, net income attributable to MPLX LP is allocated to Series A and Series B preferred unitholders based on a fixed distribution schedule. Distributions, although earned, are not accrued until declared. The allocation of net income attributable to MPLX LP for purposes of calculating net income per limited partner unit is described in Note 6.

2. Accounting Standards

Recently Adopted

ASU 2016-02, Leases2016-13, Credit Losses - Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments

WeEffective January 1, 2020, we adopted ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), as of January 1, 2019, electing the transition method which permits entities to adopt the provisions of the standard2016-13 using the modified retrospective approach without adjusting comparative periods. We also electedtransition method. This ASU requires entities to consider a broader range of information to estimate expected credit losses, which may result in earlier recognition of losses. The ASU requires the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which among other things, allowed uscompany to grandfather the historical accounting conclusions until a reassessment event is present. We have also elected the practical expedient to not recognize short-term leases on the balance sheet, the practical expedient related to right of way permits and land easements which allows us to carry forward our accounting treatment for those existing agreements, and the practical expedient to combine lease and non-lease components for the majority of our underlying classes of assets except for our third-party contractor service and equipment agreements and boat and barge equipment agreementsutilize an expected loss methodology in which we are the lessee. We did not elect the practical expedient to combine lease and non-lease components for arrangements in which we are the lessor. In instances where the practical expedient was not elected, lease and non-lease consideration is allocated based on relative standalone selling price.

Right of use (“ROU”) assets represent our right to use an underlying asset in which we obtain substantially allplace of the economic benefitsincurred loss methodology for financial instruments, including trade receivables, and the right to direct the use of the asset during the lease term. Lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. We recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities on the balanceoff-balance sheet for leases with a lease term of greater than one year. Payments that are not fixed at the commencement of the lease are considered variable and are excluded from the ROU asset and lease liability calculations. In the measurement of our ROU assets and lease liabilities, the fixed lease payments in the agreement are discounted using a secured incremental borrowing rate for a term similar to the duration of the lease, as our leases do not provide implicit rates. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

credit exposures. Adoption of the new standard resulted in the recording of ROU assets and lease liabilities of approximately $629 million and $629 million, respectively, as of January 1, 2019. This is inclusive of ROU assets and lease liabilities related to ANDX of $124 million and $127 million respectively. The standard did not materiallyhave a material impact on our consolidated statements of income, cash flows or equityfinancial statements.
We are exposed to credit losses, primarily as a result of adoption.

We also adopted the following standardASU’s during the first ninesix months of 2019,2020, which did not have a material impact to our financial statements or financial statement disclosures:

Not Yet Adopted
ASU 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment
In January 2017, the FASB issued an ASU which simplifies the subsequent measurement of goodwill by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Under the new guidance, the recognition of an impairment charge is calculated based on the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value, which could be different from the amount calculated under the current method using the implied fair value of the goodwill; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The guidance should be applied on a prospective basis, and is effective for annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017.
ASU 2016-13, Credit Losses - Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments
In June 2016, the FASB issued an ASU related to the accounting for credit losses on certain financial instruments. The guidance requires that for most financial assets, losses be based on an expected loss approach which includes estimates of losses over the life of exposure that considers historical, current and forecasted information. Expanded disclosures related to the methods used

to estimate the losses as well as a specific disaggregation of balances for financial assets are also required. The change is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. We do not expect application of this ASU to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

3. Acquisitions

Acquisition of Andeavor Logistics LP

As previously disclosed, on May 7, 2019, ANDX, Tesoro Logistics GP, LLC then(then the general partner of ANDX (“TLGP”)), MPLX, MPLX GP LLC the(the general partner of MPLX (“MPLX GP”)), and MPLX MAX LLC, a wholly-ownedwholly owned subsidiary of MPLX (“Merger Sub”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) that provided for, among other things, the merger of Merger Sub with and into ANDX. On July 30, 2019, the Merger was completed, and ANDX survived the Merger as a wholly-ownedwholly owned subsidiary of MPLX. At the effective time of the Merger, each common unit held by ANDX’s public unitholders was converted into the right to receive 1.135 MPLX common units. ANDX common units held by certain affiliates of MPC were converted into the right to receive 1.0328 MPLX common units. See Note 7 for information on units issued in connection with the Merger.

Additionally, as a result of the Merger, each ANDX TexNew Mex Unit issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger was converted into a right for Western Refining Southwest, Inc. (“Southwest, Inc.”WRSW”), a wholly-ownedwholly owned subsidiary of MPC, as the holder of all such units, to receive a unit representing a substantially equivalent limited partner interest in MPLX (the “MPLX TexNew Mex Units”). By virtue of the conversion, all ANDX TexNew Mex Units were cancelled and ceased to exist as of the effective time of the Merger. The MPLX TexNew Mex Units are a new class of units in MPLX substantially equivalent to the ANDX TexNew Mex Units, including substantially equivalent rights, powers, duties and obligations that the ANDX TexNew Mex Units had immediately prior to the closing of the Merger.

As a result of the Merger, the ANDX Special Limited Partner Interest outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger was converted into a right for Southwest Inc., as the holder of all such interest, to receive a substantially equivalent special limited partner interest in MPLX (the “MPLX Special Limited Partner Interest”). By virtue of the conversion, the ANDX Special Limited Partner Interest was cancelled and ceased to exist as of the effective time of the Merger. For information on ANDX’s preferred units, please see Note 7.

The assets of ANDX consist of a network of owned and operated crude oil, refined product and natural gas pipelines; crude oil and water gathering systems; refining logistics assets; terminals with crude oil and refined products storage capacity; rail facilities; marine terminals including storage; bulk petroleum distribution facilities; a trucking fleet; and natural gas processing and fractionation systems and complexes. The assets are located in the western and inland regions of the United States and complement MPLX’s existing business and assets.

MPC accounted for its October 1, 2018 acquisition of Andeavor (including acquiring control of ANDX), using the acquisition method of accounting, which required Andeavor assets and liabilities to be recorded by MPC at the acquisition date fair value. The Merger was closed on July 30, 2019, and the results of ANDX have been incorporated into the results of MPLX as of October 1, 2018, which is the date that common control was established. As a result of MPC’s relationship with both MPLX and ANDX, the Merger has been treated as a common control transaction, which requires the recasting of MPLX’s historical results and the recognition of assets acquired and liabilities assumed using MPC’s historical carrying value. The fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed shown below represents MPC’s historical carrying values as of October 1, 2018.

Details of the valuation methodology and significant inputs for fair value measurements are included below. The fair value measurements for equity method investments; property, plant and equipment; intangible assets and long-term debt are based on significant inputs that are not observable in the market and, therefore, represent Level 3 measurements.

Goodwill

The purchase consideration allocation resulted in the recognition of $8.2 billion in goodwill, which has been allocated between the L&S segment and the G&P segment at $7.2 billion and $1.0 billion, respectively.

Inventory

The fair value of inventory was recorded at cost as of October 1, 2018, as these items are related to spare parts as well as materials and supplies and approximate fair value.

Equity Method Investments

The fair value of the equity method investments is $642 million, which was determined based on applying income and market approaches. The income approach relied on the discounted cash flow method and the market approach relied on a market multiple approach considering historical and projected financial results. Discount rates for the discounted cash flow models were based on capital structures for similar market participants and included various risk premiums that account for risks associated with the specific investments.

Property, Plant and Equipment

The fair value of property, plant and equipment is $6.3 billion, which is based primarily on the cost approach. Key assumptions in the cost approach include determining the replacement cost by evaluating recent purchases of similar assets or published data, and adjusting replacement cost for economic and functional obsolescence, location, normal useful lives, and capacity (if applicable).

12


Table of Contents


Acquired Intangible Assets

The fair value of the acquired identifiable intangible assets is $1.0 billion, which represents the value of various customer contracts and relationships and other intangible assets. The fair value of customer contracts and relationships is $950 million, which was valued by applying the multi-period excess earnings method, which is an income approach. Key assumptions in the income approach include the underlying contract cash flow estimates, remaining contract term, probability of renewal, growth rates and discount rates. The intangible assets are all finite lived and will be amortized over 2 to 10 years.

Debt

The fair value of the ANDX unsecured notes was measured using a market approach, based upon the average of quotes for the acquired debt from major financial institutions and a third-party valuation service. Additionally, approximately $1.1 billion of borrowings under revolving credit agreements approximate fair value. The ANDX revolving credit facilities with total capacity of $2.1 billion were terminated upon closing of the Merger and were repaid with borrowings under the MPLX revolving credit facility.

Acquisition Costs

We recognized $14$5 million in acquisition costs during the first half of 2019 related to the Merger, which are reflected in general and administrative expenses.

ANDX Revenue and Net Income

For the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019, we recognized $612$588 million and $1,789$1,177 million of revenues and other income, respectively, related to ANDX. For the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019 we recognized $191$168 million and $539$348 million, respectively, of net income respectively, related to ANDX.

Pro Forma Financial Information

The following unaudited pro forma information combines the historical operations of MPLX and ANDX, giving effect to the Merger as if it had been consummated on January 1, 2018, the beginning of the earliest period presented.

The pro forma information includes adjustments to align accounting policies, which include adjustments for capitalization of assets and treatment of turnaround and planned major maintenance costs. The pro forma information also includes adjustments related to: eliminating transactions between MPLX and ANDX which previously would have been recorded as transactions between related parties; basis differences on equity method investments as a result of recognition of MPC’s investments in ANDX’s equity method investments; depreciation and amortization expense to reflect the increased fair value of property, plant and equipment and increased amortization expense related to identifiable intangible assets; as well as adjustments to interest expense for the amortization of fair value adjustments over the remaining term of ANDX’s outstanding debt, reversal of ANDX’s historical amortization of debt issuance costs and debt discounts and to adjust for the difference in the weighted average interest rate between MPLX’s revolving credit facility and the ANDX revolving credit facilities.

Mt. Airy Terminal

On September 26, 2018, MPLX acquired an eastern U.S. Gulf Coast export terminal (the “Mt. Airy Terminal”) from Pin Oak Holdings, LLC for total consideration of $451 million. At the time of the acquisition, the terminal included tanks with 4 million barrels of third-party leased storage capacity and a dock with 120 mbpd of capacity. The Mt. Airy Terminal is located on the Mississippi River between New Orleans and Baton Rouge, is in close proximity to several Gulf Coast refineries including MPC’s Garyville Refinery and is near numerous rail lines and pipelines. The Mt. Airy Terminal is accounted for within the L&S segment. In the first quarter of 2019, an adjustment to the initial purchase price was made for approximately $5 million related to the final settlement of the acquisition, which was paid in the first six months of 2019 as shown on the statement of

cash flow. This reduced the total purchase price to $446 million and resulted in $336 million of property, plant and equipment, $121 million of goodwill and the remainder being attributable to net liabilities assumed.

Goodwill represents the significant growth potential of the terminal due to the multiple pipelines and rail lines which cross the property, the terminal’s position as an aggregation point for liquids growth in the region for both ocean-going vessels and inland barges, the proximity of the terminal to MPC’s Garyville refinery and other refineries in the region as well as the opportunity to construct an additional dock at the site.

Refining Logistics and Fuels Distribution Acquisition

On February 1, 2018, MPC and MPLX closed on an agreement for the dropdown of refining logistics assets and fuels distribution services to MPLX. MPC contributed these assets and services in exchange for $4.1 billion in cash and a fixed number of MPLX common units and general partner units of 111,611,111 and 2,277,778, respectively. The fair value of the common and general partner units issued as of the acquisition date was $4.3 billion based on the closing common unit price as of February 1, 2018, as recorded on the Consolidated Statements of Equity, for a total purchase price of $8.4 billion. The equity issued consisted of: (i) 85,610,278 common units to MPLX GP, (ii) 18,176,666 common units to MPLX Logistics Holdings LLC and (iii) 7,824,167 common units to MPLX Holdings Inc. MPLX also issued 2,277,778 general partner units to MPLX GP in order to maintain its 2 percent general partner interest (“GP Interest”) in MPLX. MPC agreed to waive approximately one-third of the first quarter 2018 distributions on the common units issued in connection with this transaction. As a result of this waiver, MPC did not receive $23.7 million of the distributions that would have otherwise accrued on such common units with respect to the first quarter of 2018. Immediately following this transaction, the GP Interest was converted into a non-economic general partner interest.

MPLX recorded this transaction on a historical basis as required for transactions between entities under common control. No effect was given to the prior periods as these entities were not considered businesses prior to the February 1, 2018 dropdown. In connection with the dropdown, approximately $830 million of net property, plant and equipment was recorded in addition to $85 million and $130 million of goodwill allocated to MPLX Refining Logistics LLC (“Refining Logistics”) and MPLX Fuels Distribution LLC (“Fuels Distribution”), respectively. Both the refining logistics assets and the fuels distribution services are accounted for within the L&S segment.

As of the transaction date, the Refining Logistics assets included 619 tanks with approximately 56 million barrels of storage capacity (crude, finished products and intermediates), 32 rail and truck racks, 18 docks, and gasoline blenders. These assets generate revenue through storage services agreements with MPC. Refining Logistics provides certain services to MPC related to the receipt, storage, throughput, custody and delivery of petroleum products in and through certain storage and logistical facilities and assets associated with MPC’s refineries.

Fuels Distribution, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of MPLXT, generates revenue through a fuels distribution services agreement with MPC. Fuels Distribution is structured to provide a broad range of scheduling and marketing services as MPC’s agent.

For all of the investments acquired through the Merger,While we have the ability to exercise influence through participation in the management committees which make all significant decisions. However, sincedecisions, we have equal or proportionate influence over each committee as a joint interest partner and all significant decisions require the consent of the other investors without regard to economic interest and as such we have determined that these entities should not be consolidated and apply the equity method of accounting with respect to our investments in each entity.

In addition to the investments acquired through the Merger, MarkWest Utica EMG, L.L.C. (“MarkWest Utica EMG”), Sherwood Midstream LLC (“Sherwood Midstream”), MarkWest EMG Jefferson Dry Gas Gathering Company, L.L.C.

However, consistent with the investments above, neither MPLX nor any of its subsidiaries are deemed to be the primary beneficiary due to voting rights on significant matters. Sherwood Midstream has been deemed the primary beneficiary of Sherwood Midstream Holdings due to its controlling financial interest through its authority to manage the joint venture. As a result, Sherwood Midstream consolidates Sherwood Midstream Holdings.

During the first quarter of 2020, we recorded an other than temporary impairment for three joint ventures in which we have an interest as discussed in Note 1. Impairment of these investments was $1,264 million, of which $1,251 million was related to MarkWest Utica EMG, L.L.C. and its investment in Ohio Gathering Company, L.L.C. The fair value of the investments was determined based upon applying the discounted cash flow method, which is an income approach. The discounted cash flow fair value estimate is based on known or knowable information at the interim measurement date. The significant assumptions that were used to develop the estimate of the fair value under the discounted cash flow method include management’s best estimates of the expected future cash flows, including prices and volumes, the weighted average cost of capital and the long-term growth rate. Fair value determinations require considerable judgment and are sensitive to changes in underlying assumptions and factors. As such, the fair value of these equity method investments represents a Level 3 measurement. As a result, there can be no assurance that the estimates and assumptions made for purposes of the impairment test will prove to be an accurate prediction of the future. The impairment was recorded through “Income from equity method investments.” The impairments were largely due to a reduction in forecasted volumes gathered and processed by the systems operated by the joint ventures. There were no additional impairments recorded during the second quarter of 2020.

5. Related Party Agreements and Transactions

MPLX engages in transactions with both MPC and certain of its equity method investments as part of its normal business; however, transactions with MPC make up the majority of MPLX’s related party transactions. Transactions with related parties are further described below.

Related Party Agreements

MPLX has various long-term, fee-based commercial agreements with MPC. Under these agreements, MPLX provides transportation, terminal, fuels distribution, marketing, storage, management, operational and other services to MPC. MPC has committed to provide MPLX with minimum throughput volumes on crude oil and refined products and other fees for storage capacity; a fixed fee for substantially all available capacity for boats and barges under the marine transportation services agreement; operating and management fees; as well as reimbursements for certain direct and indirect costs. In addition,MPC has also committed to provide a fixed fee for 100 percent of available capacity for boats, barges and third-party chartered equipment under the marine transportation service agreement. MPLX also has a keep-whole commodity agreement with MPC under which MPC pays us a processing fee for NGLs related to keep-whole agreements and delivers shrink gas to the producers on our behalf. We pay MPC a marketing fee in exchange for assuming the commodity risk. Additionally, MPLX has obligations to MPC for services provided to MPLX by MPC under omnibus and employee services typeservices-type agreements as well as other various agreements.

Many of the material related party agreements acquired through the merger were consistent with MPLX’s existing agreements; however, one additional agreement that MPLX is now a party to is a keep-whole commodity agreement. ANDX was responsible for processing gas for certain producers under keep-whole processing agreements. Under a keep-whole agreement, the producer transfers title to the NGLs produced during gas processing, and the processor, in exchange, delivers to the producer natural gas with a BTU content equivalent to the NGLs removed. The operating margin for these contracts is typically determined by the spread between NGLs sales prices and the price paid to purchase the replacement natural gas (“Shrink Gas”). ANDX entered into the “Keep-Whole Commodity Agreement” with its sponsor at that time, whereby the sponsor paid ANDX a processing fee for NGLs related to keep-whole agreements and delivered Shrink Gas to the producers on its behalf. ANDX then paid its Sponsor a marketing fee in exchange for assuming the commodity risk. This agreement was modified in 2016 which adjusted the contract to provide for a tiered pricing structure for different NGL production levels. This contract continued as part of MPC’s acquisition of Andeavor, and MPLX is now party to this agreement.Related Party Loan

MPLX is also party to a loan agreement with MPC Investment LLC (“MPC Investment”) (the “MPC Loan Agreement”). Under the terms of the MPC Loan Agreement,agreement, MPC Investment makes a loan or loans to MPLX on a revolving basis as requested by MPLX and as agreed to by MPC Investment. On April 27, 2018, MPLX and MPC Investment amended and restated the MPC Loan Agreement to, among other things, increase the borrowing capacity under the MPC Loan Agreement from $500 million to $1.0 billion. In connection with the Merger, on July 31, 2019, MPLX and MPC Investment entered into a second amendment toamended and restated the MPC Loan Agreement to increase the borrowing capacity under the MPC Loan Agreement to $1.5 billion in aggregate principal amount of all loans outstanding at any one time. The entire unpaid principal amount of the loan, together with all accrued and unpaid interest and other amounts (if any), shall become due and payable on July 31, 2024, provided that MPC Investment may demand payment of all or any portion of the outstanding principal amount of the loan, together with all accrued and unpaid interest and other amounts (if any), at any time prior to July 31, 2024. Borrowings under the MPC Loan Agreement prior to July 31, 2019 bore interest at LIBOR plus 1.50 percent while borrowings as of and after July 31, 2019 will bear interest at LIBOR plus 1.25 percent or such lower rate as would be applicable to such loans under the MPLX Credit Agreement.Agreement as discussed in Note 15.

Prior to the Merger, ANDX was also party to a loan agreement with MPC (“ANDX-MPC Loan Agreement”). This facility was entered into on December 21, 2018, with a borrowing capacity of $500 million. In connection with the Merger, on July 31, 2019, MPLX repaid the entire outstanding balance and terminated the ANDX-MPC Loan Agreement.

Related party sales to MPC also consist of revenue related to volume deficiency credits.

MPLX also has operating agreements with MPC under which it receives a fee for operating MPC’s retained pipeline assets and a fixed annual fee for providing oversight and management services required to run the marine business. MPLX also receives management fee revenue for engineering, construction and administrative services for operating certain of its equity method investments.

For the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2018,2019, these charges totaled $46$38 million and $109$79 million, respectively.

Related Party Assets and Liabilities

Assets and liabilities with related parties appearing on the Consolidated Balance Sheets are detailed in the table below. This table identifies the various components of related party assets and liabilities, including those associated with leases (see Note 1920 for additional information) and deferred revenue on minimum volume commitments. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and the year ended December 31, 2018, MPC did not meet its minimum committed volumes based on the agreements identified above. If MPC fails to meet its minimum committed volumes, MPC will pay MPLX a deficiency payment based on the terms of the agreement. The deficiency amounts are recorded as “Current liabilities - related parties.” In many cases, MPC may then apply the amount of any such deficiency payments as a credit for volumes in excess of its minimum volume commitment in future periods under the terms of the applicable agreements. MPLX recognizes related party revenues for the deficiency payments when credits are used for volumes in excess of minimum quarterly volume commitments, where it is probable the customer will not use the credit in future periods or upon the expiration of the credits. The use or expiration of the credits is a decrease in “Current liabilities - related parties.” In addition, capital projects MPLX is undertaking at the request of MPC are reimbursed in cash and recognized in income over the remaining term of the applicable agreements or in some cases as an equity contribution from its sponsor.

6. Net Income/(Loss) Per Limited Partner Unit

Net income/(loss) per unit applicable to common units is computed by dividing net income/(loss) attributable to MPLX LP less income/(loss) allocated to participating securities by the weighted average number of common units outstanding. Additional MPLX common units, and MPLX Series B preferred units, and TexNew Mex units were issued on July 30, 2019 as a result of the merger with ANDX as discussed in Note 3. Distributions declared on these newly issued common and Series B preferred units are a reduction to income available to MPLX common unit holders due to their participation in distributions of income.

Merger

In connection with the Merger and as discussed in Note 3, each common unit held by ANDX’s public unitholders was converted into the right to receive 1.135 MPLX common units while ANDX common units held by certain affiliates of MPC were converted into the right to receive 1.0328 MPLX common units. This resulted in the issuance of MPLX common units of approximately 102 million units to public unitholders and approximately 161 million units to MPC in connection with MPLX's acquisition of ANDX on July 30, 2019. Also during the quarter, certain holders of Series A preferred units exercised their rights to convert their Series A preferred units into common units as discussed in Note 8.

Series B Preferred Units

Prior to the Merger, ANDX issuedhad outstanding 600,000 units of 6.875 percent Fixed-to-Floating Rate Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Units representing limited partner interests of ANDX at a price to the public of $1,000 per unit. Upon completion of the Merger, the ANDX preferred units converted to preferred units of MPLX representing substantially equivalent limited partnership interests in MPLX (the “Series B preferred units”). The Series B preferred units are pari passu with the Series A preferred units with respect to distribution rights and rights upon liquidation. Distributions on the Series B preferred units are payable semi-annually in arrears on the 15th day, or the first business day thereafter, of February and August of each year throughup to and including February 15, 2023. After February 15, 2023, the distribution will be madeholders of Series B preferred units are entitled to receive cumulative, quarterly distributions payable in arrears on the 15th day or the first business day thereafter, of February, May, August and November of each year, to holders of record as of the record date, which is generally the close of business onor the first business day ofthereafter, based on a floating annual rate equal to the month of the applicable payment date.three-month LIBOR plus 4.652 percent.

The changes in the Series B preferred unit balance from the MergerDecember 31, 2019 through SeptemberJune 30, 20192020 are summarized below andbelow. Series B preferred units are included in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and Consolidated Statements of Equity within “Equity of Predecessor” for the period prior to the Merger and within “Series B preferred units” for the period following the Merger. The Series B preferred units are recorded at fair value as

TexNew Mex Units - Prior to the Merger, MPC held 80,000 Andeavor Logistics TexNew Mex units, representing all outstanding units. At the time of the Merger, each Andeavor Logistics TexNew Mex unit was automatically converted into TexNew Mex units of MPLX with substantially the same rights and obligations as the Andeavor Logistics TexNew Mex units. The TexNew Mex units represent the right to receive quarterly distribution payments in an amount calculated using the distributable cash flow generated by a particular portion of the TexNew Mex pipeline system, in excess of a base amount and adjusted for previously agreed upon stipulations and contingencies. In the fourth quarter of 2019, distributions of less than $1 million were earned by the TexNew Mex units, which were declared in January of 2020 and paid in February 2020. Distributions of $2 million were earned by the TexNew Mex units during the three months ended June 30, 2020.

Cash distributions In accordance with the MPLX partnership agreement, on October 25, 2019July 28, 2020, MPLX declared a quarterly cash distribution for the thirdsecond quarter of 2019,2020, totaling $704$715 million, or $0.6775$0.6875 per common unit, which includes common units issued on July 30, 2019 as a result of the Merger.unit. This rate will also be received by Series A preferred unitholders. These distributions will be paid on NovemberAugust 14, 20192020 to common unitholders of record on November 4, 2019August 7, 2020. The $704 million of common unit distributions is net of $12.5 million in quarterly waived distributions by MPC. This waiver was instituted in 2017 under the terms of ANDX’s historical partnership agreement with Andeavor. The waiver will remain in effect through 2019 which is the original term of the waiver agreement.

Additionally, as a result of the Merger, 600,000 ANDX preferred units were converted into 600,000 preferred units of MPLX. Series B preferred unitholders are entitled to receive when and if declared by the board, a fixed distribution of $68.75 per unit, per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on February 15 and August 15, or the first business day thereafter. MPLX madethereafter, up to and including February 15, 2023. After February 15, 2023, the holders of Series B preferred units are entitled to receive cumulative, quarterly distributions payable in arrears on the 15th day of February, May, August and November of each year, or the first business day thereafter, based on a floating annual rate equal to the three-month LIBOR plus 4.652 percent, in each case assuming a distribution is declared by the Board of Directors. Accordingly, a cash distribution payment totaling $21 million will be paid to holders of the Series B preferred unitholders on August 15, 2019 for approximately $21 million.17, 2020.

8. Series A Preferred Units

On May 13, 2016, MPLX LP completed the private placement ofissued approximately 30.8 million 6.5 percent Series A Convertible preferred units for a cash purchase price of $32.50 per unit. The aggregate net proceeds of approximately $984 million from the sale of the preferred units were used for capital expenditures, repayment of debt and general business purposes. The Series A preferred units rank senior to all common units and pari passu with all Series B preferred units with respect to distributions and rights upon liquidation. The holders of the Series A preferred units received cumulative quarterly distributions equal to $0.528125 per unit for each quarter prior to the second quarter of 2018. Beginning with the second quarter of 2018, the holders of the Series A preferred units are entitled to receive, when and if declared by the board, a quarterly distribution equal to the greater of $0.528125 per unit or the amount of distributions they would have received on an as converted basis. On October 25, 2019July 28, 2020, MPLX declared a quarterly cash distribution of $0.6775$0.6875 per common unit for the thirdsecond quarter of 2019.2020. Holders of the Series A preferred units will receive the common unit rate in lieu of the lower $0.528125 base amount.

The holders may convert their Series A preferred units into common units at any time, in full or in part, subject to minimum conversion amounts and conditions. After the fourth anniversary of the issuance date, MPLX may convert the Series A preferred units into common units at any time, in whole or in part, subject to certain minimum conversion amounts and conditions, if the closing price of MPLX LP common units is greater than $48.75 for the 20-day trading period immediately preceding the conversion notice date. The conversion rate for the Series A preferred units shall be the quotient of (a) the sum of (i) $32.50, plus (ii) any unpaid cash distributions on the applicable preferred unit, divided by (b) $32.50, subject to adjustment for unit distributions, unit splits and similar transactions. The holders of the Series A preferred units are entitled to vote on an as-converted basis with the common unitholders and have certain other class voting rights with respect to any amendment to the MPLX partnership agreement that would adversely affect any rights, preferences or privileges of the preferred units. In addition, upon certain events involving a change of control, the holders of preferred units may elect, among other potential elections, to convert their Series A preferred units to common units at the then change of control conversion rate.

On September 20, 2019, certain holders exercised their right to convert a total of 1.2 million Series A preferred units into common units. As a result of the transaction, approximatelyApproximately 29.6 million Series A preferred units remainremaining outstanding as of SeptemberJune 30, 2019.

The Series A preferred units are considered redeemable securities under GAAP due to the existence of redemption provisions upon a deemed liquidation event which is outside MPLX’s control. Therefore, they are presented as temporary equity in the mezzanine section of the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Series A preferred units have been recorded at their issuance date fair value, net of issuance costs. Income allocations increase the carrying value and declared distributions decrease the carrying value of the Series A preferred units. As the Series A preferred units are not currently redeemable and not probable of becoming redeemable, adjustment to the initial carrying amount is not necessary and would only be required if it becomes probable that the Series A preferred units would become redeemable.

MPLX’s chief operating decision maker is the chief executive officer (“CEO”) of its general partner. The CEO reviews MPLX’s discrete financial information, makes operating decisions, assesses financial performance and allocates resources on a type of service basis. MPLX has 2 reportable segments: L&S and G&P. Each of these segments is organized and managed based upon the nature of the products and services it offers.

L&S – transports, stores, distributes and markets crude oil, asphalt, refined petroleum products and water. Also includes an inland marine business, terminals, rail facilities, storage caverns and refining logistics.
G&P – gathers, processes and transports natural gas; and gathers, transports, fractionates, stores and markets NGLs.
Our CEO evaluates the performance of our segments using Segment Adjusted EBITDA. Amounts included in net income and excluded from Segment Adjusted EBITDA include: (i) depreciation and amortization; (ii) provision/(benefit) for income taxes; (iii) amortization of deferred financing costs; (iv) extinguishment of debt; (v) non-cash equity-based compensation; (vi) impairment expense; (vii) net interest and other financial costs; (viii) income/(loss) from equity method investments; (ix) distributions and adjustments related to equity method investments; (x) unrealized derivative gains/(losses); (xi) acquisition costs; (xii) noncontrolling interest; and (xiii) other adjustments as deemed necessary. These items are either: (i) believed to be

(1)The June 30, 2020 balance includes property, plant and equipment impairment charges recorded during the first quarter of 2020 as discussed below.

Long-lived assets used in operations are assessed for impairment whenever changes in facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable based on the expected undiscounted future cash flow of an asset group. For purposes of impairment evaluation, long-lived assets must be grouped at the lowest level for which independent cash flows can be identified, which is at least at the segment level and in some cases for similar assets in the same geographic region where cash flows can be separately identified. If the sum of the undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying value of an asset group, fair value is calculated, and the carrying value is written down if greater than the calculated fair value.

No impairment triggers were identified in the second quarter of 2020; however, during the first quarter of 2020, we did identify an impairment trigger relating to asset groups within our Western G&P reporting unit as a result of significant impacts to forecasted cash flows for these asset groups resulting from the first quarter events and circumstances as discussed in Note 1. The cash flows associated with these assets were significantly impacted by volume declines reflecting decreased forecasted producer customer production as a result of lower commodity prices. After assessing each asset group within the Western G&P reporting unit for impairment, only the East Texas G&P asset group resulted in the fair value of the underlying assets being less than the carrying value. As a result, an impairment of $174 million was recorded to “Impairment expense” on the Consolidated Statements of Income in the first quarter of 2020. Fair value of the assets was determined using a combination of an income and cost approach. The income approach utilized significant assumptions including management’s best estimates of the expected future cash flows, the estimated useful life of the asset group and discount rate. The cost approach utilized assumptions for the current replacement costs of similar assets adjusted for estimated depreciation and deterioration of the existing equipment and economic obsolescence. Fair value determinations require considerable judgment and are sensitive to changes in underlying assumptions and factors. As a result, there can be no assurance that the estimates and assumptions made for purposes of our impairment analysis will prove to be an accurate prediction of the future. The fair value measurements for the asset group fair values represent Level 3 measurements.

12. Goodwill and Intangibles

Goodwill

MPLX annually evaluates goodwill for impairment as of November 30, as well as whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit with goodwill is less than its carrying amount.


24



There were no events or changes in circumstances noted in the second quarter of 2020 which would indicate it is more likely than not that the fair value of our reporting units with goodwill is less than their carrying amount. During the first quarter of 2020, we determined that an interim impairment analysis of the goodwill recorded was necessary based on consideration of a number of first quarter events and circumstances as discussed in Note 1. Our producer customers in our Eastern G&P region reduced production forecasts and drilling activity in response to the global economic downturn. Additionally, a decline in NGL prices impacted our future revenue forecast. After performing our evaluations related to the interim impairment of goodwill during the first quarter of 2020, we recorded an impairment of $1,814 million within the Eastern G&P reporting unit, which was recorded to “Impairment expense” on the Consolidated Statements of Income. The impairment was primarily driven by additional guidance related to the slowing of drilling activity, which has reduced production growth forecasts from our producer customers. This resulted in goodwill totaling approximately $7.7 billion as of March 31, 2020 within 4 reporting units. The fair value of the remaining reporting units with goodwill were in excess of their carrying value by percentages ranging from 8.5 percent to 270.0 percent. The reporting unit whose fair value exceeded its carrying amount by 8.5 percent, our Crude Gathering reporting unit, had goodwill totaling $1.1 billion at March 31, 2020. The operations which make up this reporting unit were acquired through the merger with ANDX. MPC accounted for its October 1, 2018 acquisition of Andeavor (including acquiring control of ANDX), using the acquisition method of accounting, which required Andeavor assets and liabilities to be recorded by MPC at the acquisition date fair value. The Merger was closed on July 30, 2019 and has been treated as a common control transaction, which required the recognition of assets acquired and liabilities assumed using MPC’s historical carrying value. As such, given the short amount of time from when fair value was established to the date of the impairment test, the amount by which the fair value exceeded the carrying value within this reporting unit was not unexpected.

Our reporting units are one level below our operating segments and are determined based on the way in which segment management operates and reviews each operating segment. The fair value of our 6 reporting units was determined based on applying both a discounted cash flow or income approach as well as a market approach. The discounted cash flow fair value estimate is based on known or knowable information at the measurement date. The significant assumptions that were used to develop the estimates of the fair values under the discounted cash flow method included management’s best estimates of the expected future results and discount rate, which ranged from 9.5 percent to 11.5 percent. Fair value determinations require considerable judgment and are sensitive to changes in underlying assumptions and factors. As a result, there can be no assurance that the estimates and assumptions made for purposes of the interim goodwill impairment test will prove to be an accurate prediction of the future. The fair value measurements for the individual reporting units represent Level 3 measurements.

After performing our evaluations related to the impairment of goodwill during the fiscal year ending December 31, 2019, we recorded an impairment of $1,197 million within the Western G&P reporting unit. The remainder of the reporting units’ fair values were in excess of their carrying values. The impairment was primarily driven by updated guidance related to the slowing of drilling activity, which has reduced production growth forecasts from our producer customers. This resulted in goodwill totaling approximately $9.5 billion as of December 31, 2019, with all but 1 of our 6 reporting units having goodwill.

Intangible Assets

During the first quarter of 2020, we also determined that an impairment analysis of intangibles within our Western G&P reporting unit was necessary. See Note 11 for additional information regarding our assessment around the Western G&P reporting unit, and more specifically our East Texas G&P asset group. The fair value of the intangibles in our East Texas G&P asset group was determined based on applying the multi-period excess earnings method, which is an income approach. Key assumptions included management’s best estimates of the expected future cash flows from existing customers, customer attrition rates and the discount rate. After performing our evaluations related to the impairment of intangible assets associated with our East Texas G&P asset group during the first quarter of 2020, we recorded an impairment of $177 million to “Impairment expense” on the Consolidated Statements of Income related to our customer relationships.

MPLX’s remaining intangible assets are comprised of customer contracts and relationships. Gross intangible assets with accumulated amortization as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 is shown below:

Level 3 instruments include all NGL transactions and embedded derivatives in commodity contracts. The embedded derivative liability relates to a natural gas purchase commitment embedded in a keep-whole processing agreement. The fair value calculation for these Level 3 instruments used significant unobservable inputs including: (1) NGL prices interpolated and extrapolated due to inactive markets ranging from $0.41$0.38 to $1.07$0.92 per gallon with a weighted average of $0.53 per gallon per the current term of the embedded derivative and (2) the probability of renewal of 93100 percent for the first five-year term and 82.5 percent for the

Increases or decreases in the fractionation spread result in an increase or decrease in the fair value of the embedded derivative liability, respectively. An increase in the probability of renewal would result in an increase in the fair value of the related embedded derivative liability. Beyond the embedded derivative discussed above, we had no outstanding commodity contracts as of SeptemberJune 30, 20192020 or December 31, 2018.2019.

Fair Values – Reported

MPLX’s primary financial instruments are cash and cash equivalents, receivables, receivables from related parties, lease receivables from related parties, accounts payable, payables to related parties and long-term debt. MPLX’s fair value assessment incorporates a variety of considerations, including (1) the duration of the instruments, (2) MPC’s investment-grade credit rating and (3) the historical incurrence of and expected future insignificance of bad debt expense, which includes an evaluation of counterparty credit risk. MPLX believes the carrying values of its current assets and liabilities approximate fair value. The recorded value of the amounts outstanding under the bank revolving credit facility, if any, approximates fair value due to the variable interest rate that approximates current market rates. Derivative instruments are recorded at fair value, based on available market information (see Note 13)14).

Table of Contents

The fair value of MPLX’s long-term debt is estimated based on recent market non-binding indicative quotes. The fair value of the SMR liability is estimated using a discounted cash flow approach based on the contractual cash flows and MPLX’s unsecured borrowing rate. The long-term debt and SMR liability fair values are considered Level 3 measurements. The following table summarizes the fair value and carrying value of the long-term debt, excluding finance leases, and SMR liability:

13.14. Derivative Financial Instruments

As of SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, MPLX had no outstanding commodity contracts beyond the embedded derivative discussed below.

Embedded Derivative - MPLX has a natural gas purchase commitment embedded in a keep-whole processing agreement with a producer customer in the Southern Appalachian region expiring in December 2022. The customer has the unilateral option to extend the agreement for 2 consecutive five-year terms through December 2032. For accounting purposes, the natural gas purchase commitment and the term extending options have been aggregated into a single compound embedded derivative. The probability of the customer exercising its options is determined based on assumptions about the customer’s potential business strategy decision points that may exist at the time they would elect whether to renew the contract. The changes in fair value of this compound embedded derivative are based on the difference between the contractual and index pricing and the probability of the producer customer exercising its option to extend and the estimated favorability of these contracts compared to current market conditions.extend. The changes in fair value are recorded in earnings through “Purchased product costs” on the Consolidated Statements of Income. As of SeptemberJune 30, 20192020 and December 31, 2018,2019, the estimated fair value of this contract was a liability of $54$51 million and $61$60 million, respectively.

Certain derivative positions are subject to master netting agreements, therefore, MPLX has elected to offset derivative assets and liabilities that are legally permissible to be offset. As of SeptemberJune 30, 20192020 and December 31, 2018,2019, there were no derivative assets or liabilities that were offset on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The impact of MPLX’s derivative instruments on its Consolidated Balance Sheets is summarized below:

Contract Balances

Contract assets typically relate to aid in construction agreements where the revenue recognized and MPLX’s rights to consideration for work completed exceeds the amount billed to the customer or for deficiency payments associated with minimum volume commitments which have not been billed to customers. Contract assets are generally classified as current and included in “Other current assets” on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Contract liabilities, which we refer to as “Deferred revenue” and “Long-term deferred revenue,” typically relate to advance payments for aid in construction agreements and deferred customer credits associated with makeup rights and minimum volume commitments. Related to minimum volume commitments, breakage is estimated and recognized into service revenue in instances where it is probable the customer will not use the credit in future periods. We classify contract liabilities as current or long-term based on the timing of when we expect to recognize revenue.

“Receivables, net” primarily relate to our commodity sales. Portions of the “Receivables, net” balance are attributed to the sale of commodity product controlled by MPLX prior to sale while a significant portion of the balance relates to the sale of commodity product on behalf of our producer customers. Both types of transactions are commingled and excluded from the table below. MPLX remits the net sales price back to our producer customers upon completion of the sale. Each period end, certain amounts within accounts payable relate to our payments to producer customers.

Performance Units – MPLX grants performance units to certain officers of the general partner and certain eligible MPC officers who make significant contributions to its business. These performance units pay out 75 percent in cash and 25 percent in MPLX LP common units and often contain both market and performance conditions based on various metrics. Market conditions are valued using a Monte Carlo valuation while performance conditions are reevaluated periodically and valued at the compensation cost associated with the performance outcome deemed most probable. 

The performance units granted in 20192020 are hybrid awards having a three-year performance period of January 1, 20192020 through December 31, 2021.2022. The payout of the award is dependent on two independent conditions, each constituting 50 percent of the overall target units granted. The awards have a performance condition based on MPLX LP’s distributable cash flow, and a market condition based on MPLX LP’s total unitholder return. The market condition was valued using a Monte Carlo valuation, resulting in a grant date fair value of $0.68$0.80 per unit for the 20192020 equity-classified performance units. Grant date fair value of the performance condition is based on potential payouts per unit of up to $2.00 per unit. Compensation cost associated with the performance condition is based on the grant date fair value of the payout deemed most probable to occur and is adjusted as the expectation for payout changes.

During the first quarter of 2018, a performance award was granted; however, a grant date could not be established based ondue to the nature of the award terms. Giventerms, the grant date for this award was not established until the first quarter of 2020 and we began recognizing units and expense related to this award at that time. The performance units granted in 2018 are hybrid awards having a three-year performance period of January 1, 2018 through December 31, 2020. The payout of the award is dependent on two independent conditions, each constituting 50 percent of the overall target units granted. The awards have a performance condition based on an average of MPLX LP’s distributable cash flow and a market condition based on MPLX LP’s total unitholder return. The market condition was valued using a Monte Carlo valuation, resulting in a grant date cannot be established, no expense or units have been recorded. When a grantfair value of $0.45 per unit for the 2018 equity-classified performance units.

19. Leases

For further information regarding the adoption of ASC 842, including the method of adoption and practical expedients elected, see Note 2.

Lessee

We lease a wide variety of facilities and equipment under leases from third parties, including land and building space, office and field equipment, storage facilities and transportation equipment, while our related party leases primarily relate to ground leases associated with our refining logistics assets. Our remaining lease terms range from less than one year to 60 years. Some long-term leases include renewal options ranging from one to 50 years and, in certain leases, also include purchase options. Renewal options and termination options were not included in the measurement of ROU assets and lease liabilities since it was determined they were not reasonably certain to be exercised.

Under ASC 842, the components of lease cost were as follows:

Lessor

Based on the terms of fee-based transportation and storage services agreements with MPC as well as certain natural gas gathering, transportation and processing agreements, MPLX is considered to be the lessor under several operating lease arrangements in accordance with GAAP. The agreements with MPC have remaining terms ranging from less than one year to 12 years with renewal options ranging from zero to 10 years. MPLX’s primary natural gas lease operations relate to a natural gas gathering agreement in the Marcellus Shale for which we earn a fixed fee for providing gathering services to a single producer using a dedicated gathering system. As the gathering system is expanded, the fixed fee charged to the producer is adjusted to include the additional gathering assets in the lease with the fee being recorded on a straight-line basis over the life of the agreement. The primary term of the natural gas gathering arrangement expires in 2038 and will continue thereafter on a year-to-year basis until terminated by either party. Other significant natural gas implicit leases relate to a natural gas processing agreement in the Marcellus Shale and a natural gas processing agreement in the Southern Appalachia region for which MPLX earns minimum monthly fees for providing processing services to a single producer using a dedicated processing plant. The primary term of these natural gas processing agreements expires during 2023 and 2033 with the contracts continuing thereafter on a year-to-year basis until terminated by either party.

MPLX did not elect to use the practical expedient to combine lease and non-lease components for lessor arrangements. The tables below represent the portion of the contract allocated to the lease component based on relative standalone selling price. Some lessor agreements are currently deemed operating, as we elected the practical expedient to carry forward historical classification conclusions. If and when a modification of an existing agreement occurs and the agreement is required to be assessed under ASC 842, MPLX assesses the amended agreement and makes a determination as to whether a reclassification of the lease is required.

20. Leases

During the three months ended September 30, 2019, therefirst quarter of 2020, reimbursements for projects at certain MPLX refining logistics locations were agreed to between MPLX and MPC. These reimbursements relate to the storage services agreements between MPLX and MPC at these locations and required the embedded leases within these agreements to be reassessed under the leasing standard. As a result of the reassessment, one of our leases was a modification to MPLX terminal agreements with MPC. Based on the modification, certain terminals within the MPLX terminal agreement were reclassified from an operating leaseslease to a sales-type leases.lease. As a result, the underlying assets previously shown on the Consolidated Balance Sheets associated with the sales-typessales-type lease were derecognized and the net investment in the lease (i.e., the sum of the present value of the future lease payments and the unguaranteed residual value of the assets) was recorded as a lease receivable. When determiningSee Note 5 for the net investment inlocation of lease receivables and unguaranteed residual assets on the lease, certain variable payments were excluded from the total contract consideration, primarily related to fees for which there are no minimum volume commitments.Consolidated Balance Sheets. The difference between the net book value of the underlying assets and the net investment in the lease has been recorded through equityas a Contribution from MPC in the Consolidated Statements of Equity given that the dropdown of MPLXTtransaction related to refining logistics was a common control transaction. During the three months ended September 30, 2019,first quarter of 2020, MPLX derecognized approximately $29$171 million of property, plant and equipment, derecognized approximately $3 million of existing deferred rent receivable, recorded a lease receivable of approximately $47$370 million, recorded an unguaranteed residual asset of approximately $6$10 million and equitya Contribution from MPC of $21$209 million.

20.21. Commitments and Contingencies

MPLX is the subject of, or a party to, a number of pending or threatened legal actions, contingencies and commitments involving a variety of matters, including laws and regulations relating to the environment. Some of these matters are discussed below. For matters for which MPLX has not recorded an accrued liability, MPLX is unable to estimate a range of possible losses because the issues involved have not been fully developed through pleadings, discovery or court proceedings. However, the ultimate resolution of some of these contingencies could, individually or in the aggregate, be material.

Environmental Matters – MPLX is subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to the environment. These laws generally provide for control of pollutants released into the environment and require responsible parties to undertake remediation of hazardous waste disposal sites. Penalties may be imposed for non-compliance.

At SeptemberJune 30, 20192020 and December 31, 2018,2019, accrued liabilities for remediation totaled $19$18 million and $20$19 million, respectively. However, it is not presently possible to estimate the ultimate amount of all remediation costs that might be incurred or the penalties, if any, which may be imposed. At SeptemberJune 30, 20192020 and December 31, 2018,2019, there were 0 balances with MPC for indemnification of environmental costs.

MPLX is involved in environmental enforcement matters arising in the ordinary course of business. While the outcome and impact onto MPLX cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes the resolution of these environmental matters will not, individually or collectively, have a material adverse effect on its consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Other Lawsuits – MPLX, MarkWest, MarkWest Liberty Midstream, MarkWest Liberty Bluestone, L.L.C., Ohio Fractionation and MarkWest Utica EMG (collectively, the “MPLX Parties”) are parties to various lawsuits with Bilfinger Westcon, Inc.

44


Table of Contents

(“Westcon”) that were instituted in 2016 and 2017 in Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Ohio. The lawsuits relate to disputes regarding construction work performed by Westcon at the Bluestone, Mobley and Cadiz processing complexes in Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Ohio, respectively, and the Hopedale fractionation complex in Ohio. With respect to work performed by Westcon at the Mobley and Bluestone processing complexes, one or more of the MPLX Parties have asserted breach of contract, fraud, and with respect to work performed at the Mobley processing complex, MarkWest Liberty Midstream has also asserted negligent misrepresentation claims against Westcon. Westcon has also asserted claims against one or more of the MPLX Parties regarding these construction projects for breach of contract, unjust enrichment, promissory estoppel, fraud and constructive fraud, tortious interference with contractual relations, and civil conspiracy. Collectively, in the several cases, the MPLX Parties sought in excess of $10 million, plus an unspecified amount of punitive damages. Collectively, in the several cases, Westcon sought in excess of $40 million, plus an unspecified amount of punitive damages. On July 31, 2019, Westcon and the MPLX Parties reached an agreement to resolve the disputes among those parties relating to the Bluestone processing complex in Pennsylvania. The settlement resolves a significant portion of the disputes with Westcon. The settlement will not have a material adverse effect on MPLX’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. While the ultimate outcome and impact to MPLX cannot be predicted with certainty, MPLX believes the resolution of the remaining litigation with Westcon will not have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

In 2003, the State of Illinois brought an action against the Premcor Refining Group, Inc. (“Premcor”) and Apex Refining Company (“Apex”) asserting claims for environmental cleanup related to the refinery owned by these entities in the Hartford/Wood River, Illinois area. In 2006, Premcor and Apex filed third-party complaints against numerous owners and operators of petroleum products facilities in the Hartford/Wood River, Illinois area, including Marathon Pipe Line LLC (“MPL”). These complaints, which have been amended since filing, assert claims of common law nuisance and contribution under the Illinois Contribution Act and other laws for environmental cleanup costs that may be imposed on Premcor and Apex by the State of Illinois. On September 6, 2016, the trial court approved a settlement between Apex and the State of Illinois whereby Apex agreed to settle all claims against it for a $10 million payment. Premcor filed a motion for permissive appeal and requested a stay to the proceeding until the motion is ruled upon. Premcor reached a settlement with the State of Illinois in the second quarter of 2018, which has been objected to by certain third-party defendants, including MPL, and is subject to court approval. Several third-party defendants in the litigation including MPL have asserted cross-claims in contribution against the various third-party defendants. This litigation is currently pending in the Third Judicial Circuit Court, Madison County, Illinois. The trial concerning Premcor’s claims against third-party defendants, including MPL, previously scheduled to commence September 10, 2018, has been postponed and a new trial date has not been set. While the ultimate outcome and impact to MPLX cannot be predicted with certainty, MPLX does not consider it reasonably possible that a loss resulting from such lawsuits or other proceedings in excess of any amounts accrued has been incurred that is expected to have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. Under the omnibus agreement, MPC will indemnify MPLX for the full cost of any losses should MPL be deemed responsible for any damages in this lawsuit.

MPLX is also a party to a number of other lawsuits and other proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. While the ultimate outcome and impact to MPLX cannot be predicted with certainty, MPLXmanagement believes the resolution of these other lawsuits and proceedings will not, individually or collectively, have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Guarantees – Over the years, MPLX has sold various assets in the normal course of its business. Certain of the related agreements contain performance and general guarantees, including guarantees regarding inaccuracies in representations, warranties, covenants and agreements, and environmental and general indemnifications that require MPLX to perform upon the occurrence of a triggering event or condition. These guarantees and indemnifications are part of the normal course of selling assets. MPLX is typically not able to calculate the maximum potential amount of future payments that could be made under such contractual provisions because of the variability inherent in the guarantees and indemnities. Most often, the nature of the guarantees and indemnities is such that there is no appropriate method for quantifying the exposure because the underlying triggering event has little or no past experience upon which a reasonable prediction of the outcome can be based.

In connection with our approximate 99.19 percent indirect interest in a joint venture (“Dakota Access”) that owns and operates the Dakota Access Pipeline and Energy Transfer Crude Oil Pipeline projects, collectively referred to as the Bakken Pipeline system or DAPL, we have entered into a Contingent Equity Contribution Agreement whereby MPLX LP, along with the other joint venture owners in the Bakken Pipeline system, have agreed to make equity contributions to the joint venture upon certain events occurring to allow the entities that own and operate the Bakken Pipeline system to satisfy their senior note payment obligations. The senior notes were issued to repay amounts owed by the pipeline companies to fund the cost of construction of the Bakken Pipeline system.

In March 2020, the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia (the “D.D.C.”) ordered the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (“Army Corps”), which granted permits for the Bakken Pipeline system, to conduct a full environmental impact statement (“EIS”), and further requested briefing on whether an easement permit necessary for the operation of the Bakken Pipeline system should be vacated while the EIS is being prepared.

On July 6, 2020, the D.D.C. ordered vacatur of the easement permit during the pendency of an EIS and further ordered shut down of the pipeline by August 5, 2020. The D.D.C. denied a motion to stay that order. Dakota Access and the Army Corps are appealing the D.D.C.’s order to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. On July 14, 2020, the Circuit Court issued an administrative stay while the court considers Dakota Access and the Army Corps’ emergency motion for stay pending appeal.

If the pipeline is temporarily shutdown pending completion of the EIS, MPLX would have to contribute its 9.19 percent pro rata share of funds required to pay interest accruing on the notes and any portion of the principal that matures while the pipeline is shutdown. MPLX also expects to contribute its 9.19 percent pro rata share of any costs to remediate any deficiencies to reinstate the permit and/or return the pipeline into operation. If the vacatur of the easement permit results in a permanent shutdown of the pipeline, MPLX would have to contribute its 9.19 percent pro rata share of the cost to redeem the bonds (including the 1% redemption premium required pursuant to the indenture governing the notes) and any accrued and unpaid interest. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, our maximum potential undiscounted payments under the Contingent Equity Contribution Agreement were approximately $230 million.

TableOther Legal Proceedings – In early July, MPLX received a Notification of ContentsTrespass Determination from the Bureau of Indian Affairs (“BIA”) relating to a portion of the Tesoro High Plains Pipeline that crosses the Fort Berthold Reservation in North Dakota. The notification covers the rights of way for 23 tracts of land and demands the immediate cessation of pipeline operations. The notification also assesses trespass damages of approximately $187 million. MPLX expects to receive a notification for an additional 11 tracts in the near future. We appealed this determination, which triggered an automatic stay of the requested pipeline shutdown and payment. We believe the trespass damage calculation is dependent on a novel interpretation of the applicable law, and we continue to actively negotiate settlement of this matter with holders of the property rights at issue. Management does not believe the ultimate resolution of this matter will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Contractual Commitments and Contingencies – At SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, MPLX’s contractual commitments to acquire property, plant and equipment totaled $788$293 million. These commitments were primarily related to G&P plant expansion, terminal pipeline and refining logisticspipeline projects. In addition, from time to time and in the ordinary course of business, MPLX and its affiliates provide guarantees of MPLX’s subsidiaries payment and performance obligations in the G&P segment. Certain natural gas processing and gathering arrangements require MPLX to construct new natural gas processing plants, natural gas gathering pipelines and NGL pipelines and contain certain fees and charges if specified construction milestones are not achieved for reasons other than force majeure. In certain cases, certain producers may have the right to cancel the processing arrangements if there are significant delays that are not due to force majeure. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, management does not believe there are any indications that MPLX will not be able to meet the construction milestones, that force majeure does not apply or that such fees and charges will otherwise be triggered.

Also, in connection with the Merger, we assumed ANDX obligations related to future purchase obligations included in fuel costs associated with the wholesale product supply agreement, NGLs transportation costs, fractionation fees, and fixed charges with MPC. This increased our future obligations by approximately $11.9 billion as of September 30, 2019.
22. Subsequent Events

On July 31, 2020, MPLX entered into a Redemption Agreement (the “Redemption Agreement”) with Western Refining Southwest, Inc., an Arizona corporation (“WRSW”) and wholly owned subsidiary of MPC, pursuant to which MPLX agreed to transfer to WRSW all of the outstanding membership interests in Western Refining Wholesale, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“WRW”) to WRSW in exchange for the redemption of MPLX common units held by WRSW. The transaction effects the transfer to MPC of the Western wholesale distribution business that MPLX acquired as a result of its acquisition of ANDX. The Redemption Agreement was approved by the conflicts committee and the board of directors of MPLX’s general partner. The conflicts committee, which is composed of independent members of the board of directors of MPLX’s general partner, retained independent legal and financial advisors to assist it in evaluating and negotiating the transaction.

Per the terms of Redemption Agreement, MPLX redeemed 18,582,088 Common Units (the “Redeemed Units”) held by WRSW on July 31, 2020. The number of Redeemed Units was calculated by dividing WRW’s aggregate valuation of $340 million by the simple average of the volume weighted average New York Stock Exchange prices of an MPLX Common Unit for the ten trading days ending at market close on July 27, 2020.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

On July 31, MPLX completedentered into a Redemption Agreement with WRSW, a wholly owned subsidiary of MPC, in which MPLX agreed to transfer the Western wholesale distribution business that it acquired as a result of its acquisition of ANDX via Merger on July 30, 2019. The historical resultsto MPC in exchange for the redemption of ANDX have been incorporated into the$340 million of MPLX results from October 1, 2018, which is the date that MPC acquired Andeavor. At the effective time of the Merger, each common unit held by ANDX’s public unitholders was converted into the right to receive 1.135 MPLX common units. ANDX common units held by certain affiliatesWRSW. The Redemption Agreement was approved by the MPLX board of MPC were converted intodirectors following the right to receive 1.0328 MPLXapproval of the terms of the transaction by its independent conflicts committee. The transaction closed on July 31.

CURRENT ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT

The assetsoutbreak of ANDX complementCOVID-19 and enhance MPLX’s existing asset base and further expand MPLX’s existing footprint.
During the quarter, MPLX: enteredits development into a Term Loan Agreement, which provides for a committed term loan facility for uppandemic in March 2020 has resulted in significant economic disruption globally. Actions taken by various governmental authorities, individuals and companies around the world to an aggregateprevent the spread of $1 billion; issued $2.0 billion aggregate principal amountCOVID-19 through social distancing have restricted travel, many business operations, public gatherings and the overall level of floating rate senior notesindividual movement and in-person interaction across the globe. This has significantly reduced global economic activity and resulted in a public offering; increased its borrowing capacitydecline in the demand for products for which we provide midstream services. Macroeconomic conditions and global geopolitical events have also resulted in significant price volatility related to those aforementioned products.

We are actively responding to the impacts that these matters are having on our business by:

Canceling or delaying certain capital expenditures that we had expected to make in 2020.
Taking actions to reduce operating expenses across the MPLX Credit Agreementbusiness.
Continuing to $3.5 billion;evaluate and extended the MPLX Credit Agreement term to July 30, 2024.
In connection with the Merger, MPLX also assumed all outstanding ANDX senior notes, which had an aggregate principal amount of $3.75 billion with interest rates ranging from 3.5 percent to 6.375 percent and maturity dates ranging from 2019 to 2047. On September 23, 2019, approximately $3.06 billion aggregate principal amount of ANDX’s outstanding senior notes were exchanged for an aggregate principal amount of approximately $3.06 billion new unsecured senior notes issued by MPLX in an exchange offer and consent solicitation undertaken by MPLX, leaving approximately $690 million aggregate principal of outstanding senior notes held by ANDX.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we did not issue any common units underhigh-grade our ATM Program. As of September 30, 2019, $1.7 billion of common units remain available for issuance through the ATM Program.
MPLX continues to focus oncapital portfolio optimization, which could include asset divestitures.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTSMany uncertainties remain with respect to COVID-19, including its resulting economic effects, and we are unable to predict the ultimate economic impacts from COVID-19 and how quickly national economies can recover once the pandemic ultimately subsides. However, the adverse impact will likely continue to have an impact on our business and our customers’ businesses. We believe we have proactively addressed many of the known impacts of COVID-19 to the extent possible and will strive to continue to do so, but there can be no guarantee the measures will be fully effective.

MPC’s board of directors has formed a special committee to enhance its evaluation of potential value-creating options for its Midstream business. Among other aspects, the special committee will analyze the strategic fit of assets with MPC, the ability to realize full valuation credit for midstream earnings and cash flow, balance sheet impacts including liquidity and credit ratings, transaction tax impacts, separation costs, and overall complexity.
On October 15, 2019, MPLX borrowed the remaining $500 million in term loan capacity under the Term Loan Agreement. On the same day, MPLX paid off $500 million of outstanding ANDX 5.5 percent unsecured senior notes due 2019 and related accrued interest of $13.75 million
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Our management uses a variety of financial and operating metrics to analyze our performance. These metrics are significant factors in assessing our operating results and profitability and include the non-GAAP financial measures of Adjusted EBITDA and DCF. The amount of Adjusted EBITDA and DCF generated is considered by the board of directors of our general partner in approving MPLX’s cash distributions.

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income adjusted for: (i) depreciation and amortization; (ii) provision/(benefit) for income taxes; (iii) amortization of deferred financing costs; (iv) extinguishment of debt; (v) non-cash equity-based compensation; (vi) impairment expense; (vii) net interest and other financial costs; (viii) income/(loss) from equity method investments; (ix) distributions and adjustments related to equity method investments; (x) unrealized derivative gains/(losses); (xi) acquisition costs; (xii) noncontrolling interest; and (xiii) other adjustments as deemed necessary. We also use DCF, which we define as Adjusted EBITDA adjusted for: (i) deferred revenue impacts; (ii) net interest and other financial costs; (iii) maintenance capital expenditures; (iv) equity method investment capital expenditures paid out; and (v) other non-cash items. MPLX makes a distinction between realized and unrealized gains and losses on derivatives. During the period when a derivative contract is outstanding, changes in the fair value of the derivative are recorded as an unrealized gain or loss. When a derivative contract matures or is settled, the previously recorded unrealized gain or loss is reversed and the realized gain or loss of the contract is recorded.

We believe that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA and DCF provides useful information to investors in assessing our financial condition and results of operations. The GAAP measures most directly comparable to Adjusted EBITDA and DCF are net income and net cash provided by operating activities. Adjusted EBITDA and DCF should not be considered alternatives to GAAP net income or net cash provided by operating activities. Adjusted EBITDA and DCF have important limitations as analytical tools because they exclude some but not all items that affect net income and net cash provided by operating activities or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA and DCF should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Additionally, because Adjusted EBITDA and DCF may be defined differently by other companies in our industry, our definitions of Adjusted EBITDA and DCF may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing their utility. For a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA and DCF to their most directly comparable measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, see Results of Operations.

Management also utilizes Segment Adjusted EBITDA in evaluating the financial performance of our segments. The use of this measures allows investors to understand how management evaluates financial performance to make operating decisions and allocate resources.

COMPARABILITY OF OUR FINANCIAL RESULTS

Our acquisitions have impacted comparability of our financial results (see Note 3 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements).

SEGMENT RESULTS

We classify our business in the following reportable segments: L&S and G&P. Segment Adjusted EBITDA represents Adjusted EBITDA attributable to the reportable segments. Amounts included in net income and excluded from Segment Adjusted EBITDA include: (i) depreciation and amortization; (ii) provision/(benefit) for income taxes; (iii) amortization of deferred financing costs; (iv) extinguishment of debt; (v) non-cash equity-based compensation; (vi) impairment expense; (vii) net interest and other financial costs; (viii) income/(loss) from equity method investments; (ix) distributions and adjustments related to equity method investments; (x) unrealized derivative gains/(losses); (xi) acquisition costs; (xii) noncontrolling interests; and (xiii) other adjustments as deemed necessary. These items are either: (i) believed to be non-recurring in nature; (ii) not believed to be allocable or controlled by the segment; or (iii) are not tied to the operational performance of the segment.

The tables below present information about Segment Adjusted EBITDA for the reported segments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019. Prior period financial information has been retrospectively adjusted for common control transactions.

Three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to three months ended June 30, 2019

Service revenue increased $9 million in the second quarter of 2020 compared to the same period of 2019. This was primarily due to a $28 million increase due to the reclassification of lease income between service revenue, rental income and other income based on modifications to lease contracts and a $12 million increase from additional marine equipment. There was also in increase in volume deficiency payments, favorable price impacts and other miscellaneous items. These increases were partially offset by reduced pipeline and storage volumes.

SEASONALITY

The volume of crude oil and refined products transported and stored utilizing our assets is directly affected by the level of supply and demand for crude oil and refined products in the markets served directly or indirectly by our assets. Many effects of seasonality on the L&S segment’s revenues will be mitigated through the use of our fee-based transportation and storage services agreements with MPC that include minimum volume commitments.

Our G&P segment can be affected by seasonal fluctuations in the demand for natural gas and NGLs and the related fluctuations in commodity prices caused by various factors.factors including variations in weather patterns from year to year. We are able to manage the aboveseasonality impacts through the execution of our marketing strategy and via our storage capabilities. Overall, our exposure to the seasonalseasonality fluctuations is declining due to our growth in fee-based business.

Term Loan Agreement

On September 26, 2019, MPLX entered into a Term Loan Agreement which provides for a committed term loan facility for up to an aggregate of $1 billion available to be drawn in up to four separate borrowings, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain customary conditions. If not fully utilized, the term loan commitments expire 90 days after September 26, 2019. Borrowings under the Term Loan Agreement bear interest, at MPLX’s election, at either (i) the Adjusted LIBO Rate (as defined in the Term Loan Agreement) plus a margin ranging from 75.0 basis points to 100.0 basis points per annum, depending on MPLX’s credit ratings, or (ii) the Alternate Base Rate (as defined in the Term Loan Agreement). The proceeds from borrowings under the Term Loan Agreement were used to fund the repayment of MPLX’s existing indebtedness and/or for general business purposes. Amounts borrowed under the Term Loan Agreement will be due and payable on September 26, 2021.

The Term Loan Agreement contains representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants and events of default that we consider to be customary for an agreement of this type and are substantially similar to those contained in the MPLX Credit Agreement, including a covenant that requires MPLX’s ratio of Consolidated Total Debt to Consolidated EBITDA (as both terms are defined in the Term Loan Agreement) for the four prior fiscal quarters not to exceed 5.0 to 1.0 as of the last day of each fiscal quarter (or during the six-month period following certain acquisitions, 5.5 to 1.0). Consolidated EBITDA is subject to adjustments for certain acquisitions completed and capital projects undertaken during the relevant period.

Floating Rate Senior Notes

On September 9, 2019, MPLX issued $2.0 billion aggregate principal amount of floating rate senior notes in a public offering, consisting of $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of notes due September 2021 and $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of notes due September 2022 (collectively, the “Floating Rate Senior Notes”). The Floating Rate Senior Notes were offered at a price to the public of 100 percent of par. The proceeds were used to repay MPLX’s existing indebtedness and/or for general business purposes. Interest on the Floating Rate Senior Notes is payable quarterly in March, June, September and December, commencing on December 9, 2019. The interest rate applicable to the floating rate senior notes due September 2021 is LIBOR plus 0.9 percent per annum. The interest rate applicable to the floating rate senior notes due September 2022 is LIBOR plus 1.1 percent per annum.

Fixed Rate Senior Notes

In connection with the Merger, MPLX assumed ANDX’s outstanding senior notes which had an aggregate principal amount of $3.75 billion, interest rates ranging from 3.5 percent to 6.375 percent and maturity dates ranging from 2019 to 2047. On September 23, 2019, approximately $3.06 billion aggregate principal amount of ANDX’s outstanding senior notes were exchanged for an aggregate principal amount of approximately $3.06 billion new unsecured senior notes (the “Exchange Notes”) issued by MPLX in an exchange offer and consent solicitation undertaken by MPLX, leaving approximately $690 million aggregate principal of outstanding senior notes held by ANDX. Of this, $500 million is related to 5.5 percent unsecured senior notes due 2019. The principal amount of $500 million and accrued interest of $13.75 million was paid on October 15, 2019 using proceeds from the Floating Rate Senior Notes and borrowings under the Term Loan Agreement discussed above and includes interest through the payoff date.

The Exchange Notes consist of $266 million in aggregate principal amount of 6.25 percent unsecured senior notes due October 2022, $486 million in aggregate principal amount of 3.5 percent unsecured senior notes due December 2022, $381 million in aggregate principal amount of 6.375 percent unsecured senior notes due May 2024, $708 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.25 percent unsecured senior notes due January 2025, $732 million in aggregate principal amount of 4.25 percent unsecured senior notes due December 2027 and $487 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.2 percent unsecured senior notes due December 2047. Interest on each series of Exchange Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears according to the table below.

Credit Agreement

Effective July 30, 2019 in connection with the closing of the Merger, MPLX amended and restated the MPLX Credit Agreement to, among other things, increase its borrowing capacity to up to $3.5 billion and extend its term to July 30, 2024. The MPLX Credit Agreement includes certain representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants and events of default that we consider usual and customary for an agreement of its type. The financial covenant requires us to maintain a ratio of Consolidated Total Debt as of the end of each fiscal quarter to Consolidated EBITDA (both as defined in the MPLX Credit Agreement) for the prior four fiscal quarters of no greater than 5.0 to 1.0 (or 5.5 to 1.0 for up to two fiscal quarters following certain acquisitions). Consolidated EBITDA is subject to adjustments for certain acquisitions completed and capital projects undertaken during the relevant period. Other covenants restrict us and/or certain of our subsidiaries from incurring debt, creating liens on our assets and entering into transactions with affiliates. As of September 30, 2019, we were in compliance

66




with this financial covenant with a ratio of Consolidated Total Debt to Consolidated EBITDA of 3.80 to 1.0, as well as other covenants contained in the MPLX Credit Agreement. As disclosed in Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, the adoption of the lease accounting standards update resulted in the recognition of a significant lease obligation. The MPLX Credit Agreement contains provisions under which the effects of the new accounting standard are not recognized for purposes of financial covenant calculations.

MPC Loan Agreement

In connection with the Merger, on July 31, 2019, MPLX and MPC Investment amended and restated the MPC Loan Agreement to, among other things, increase the borrowing capacity under the MPC Loan Agreement to $1.5 billion in aggregate principal amount of all loans outstanding at any one time. The entire unpaid principal amount of the loan, together with all accrued and unpaid interest and other amounts (if any), shall become due and payable on July 31, 2024, provided that MPC Investment may demand payment of all or any portion of the outstanding principal amount of the loan, together with all accrued and unpaid interest and other amounts (if any), at any time prior to July 31, 2024.

Our intention is to maintain an investment grade credit profile. As of November 1, 2019,June 30, 2020, the credit ratings on our senior unsecured debt were at or above investment grade level as follows:
Rating Agency Rating
Moody’s Baa2 (negative outlook)
Standard & Poor’s BBB (stable(negative outlook)
Fitch BBB (stable(negative outlook)

The ratings reflect the respective views of the rating agencies. Although it is our intention to maintain a credit profile that supports an investment grade rating, there is no assurance that these ratings will continue for any given period of time. The ratings may be revised or withdrawn entirely by the rating agencies if, in their respective judgments, circumstances so warrant.

The MPLX Credit Agreement and senior notesTerm Loan Agreement contain certain representations and warranties, affirmative and restrictive covenants and events of default that we consider to be usual and customary for an agreement of this type. The financial covenant requires MPLX to maintain a ratio of Consolidated Total Debt as of the end of each fiscal quarter to Consolidated EBITDA (both as defined in the MPLX Credit Agreement) for the prior four fiscal quarters of no greater than 5.0 to 1.0 (or 5.5 to 1.0 during the six-month period following certain acquisitions). Consolidated EBITDA is subject to adjustments for certain acquisitions completed and capital projects undertaken during the relevant period. Other covenants restrict us and/or certain of our subsidiaries from incurring debt, creating liens on assets and entering into transactions with affiliates. As of June 30, 2020, we were in compliance with the covenants, including the financial covenant with a ratio of Consolidated Total Debt to Consolidated EBITDA of 3.9 to 1.0.

The agreements governing our debt obligations do not contain credit rating triggers that would result in the acceleration of interest, principal or other payments solely in the event that our credit ratings are downgraded. However, any downgrades in the credit ratings of our senior unsecured debt ratings to below investment grade ratings would,could, among other things, increase the applicable interest rates and other fees payable under the MPLX Credit Agreement and the Term Loan Agreement and may limit our flexibilityability to obtain future financing.financing, including refinancing existing indebtedness.

We expect our ongoing sources of liquidity to include cash generated from operations and borrowings under the MPC Loan Agreement, and the MPLX Credit Agreement.Agreement and access to capital markets. We believe that cash generated from these sources will be sufficient to meet our short-term and long-term funding requirements, including working capital requirements, capital expenditure requirements, contractual obligations, and quarterly cash distributions. MPC manages our cash and cash equivalents on our behalf directly with third-party institutions as part of the treasury services that it provides to us under our omnibus agreement. From time to time, we may also consider utilizing other sources of liquidity, including the formation of joint ventures or sales of non-strategic assets.

Equity and Preferred Units Overview

Common units

The table below summarizes the changes in the number of units outstanding through SeptemberJune 30, 2019:2020:
(In units) 
Balance at December 31, 20182019794,089,5181,058,355,471

Balance at SeptemberJune 30, 201920201,058,354,4591,058,608,762

In connection with the Merger on July 30, 2019, each common unit held by ANDX’s public unitholders was converted into the right to receive 1.135 MPLX common units while ANDX common units held by certain affiliates of MPC were converted into the right to receive 1.0328 MPLX common units. This resulted in the issuance of MPLX common units of approximately 102 million units to public unitholders and approximately 161 million units to MPC.

Unrelated to the Merger, during the quarter certain holders of our Series A preferred units exercised their rights to convert their Series A preferred units into common units. These impacts are reflected in the table above.

Series B Preferred Units

In connection with the Merger, we converted ANDX’s outstanding 600,000 units of 6.875 percent Fixed-to-Floating Rate Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Units representing limited partner interests of ANDX into preferred units of MPLX representing substantially equivalent limited partnership interests in MPLX (the “Series B preferred units”). The Series B preferred units are pari passu with the Series A preferred units with respect to distribution rights and rights upon liquidation. Distributions on the Series B preferred units are payable semi-annually in arrears on the 15th day, or the first business day thereafter, of February and August of each year through and including February 15, 2023. After February 15, 2023, the distribution will be made quarterly in arrears on the 15th day, or the first business day thereafter, of February, May, August and November of each year to holders of record as of the record date, which is generally the close of business on the first business day of the month of the applicable payment date.

ATM

MPLX expects the net proceeds, if any, from sales under our ATM Program will be used for general business purposes including repayment or refinancing of debt and funding for acquisitions, working capital requirements and capital expenditures. During the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, we issued no common units under our ATM program. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, $1.7 billion of common units remain available for issuance through the ATM Program.

Distributions

We intend to pay at least thea minimum quarterly distribution to the holders of our common units of $0.2625 per unit, or $1.05 per quarter, which equatesunit on an annualized basis, to the extent we have sufficient cash from our operations after the establishment of cash reserves and the payment of costs and expenses, including reimbursements of expenses to our general partner. The amount of distributions paid under our policy and the decision to make any distributions is determined by our general partner, taking into consideration the terms of our partnership agreement. Such minimum distribution would equate to $278 million per quarter, or $1,111$1,112 million per year, based on the number of common units outstanding at SeptemberJune 30, 2019.2020. On October 25, 2019,July 28, 2020, we announced the board of directors of our general partner had declared a distribution of $0.6775$0.6875 per unit that will be paid on NovemberAugust 14, 20192020 to unitholders of record on November 4, 2019.August 7, 2020. This represents an increase of $0.0100 per unit, or 1.5 percent, aboveis consistent with the secondfirst quarter 20192020 distribution of $0.6675$0.6875 per unit and an increase of 6.33.0 percent over the thirdsecond quarter 20182019 distribution. This increase in the distribution is consistent with our intent to maintain an attractive distribution growth profile over an extended period of time.rate will also be received by Series A preferred unitholders. Although our partnership agreement requires that we distribute all of our available cash each quarter, we do not otherwise have a legal obligation to distribute any particular amount per common unit.

The allocation of total quarterly cash distributions to general and limited partners is as follows for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018. Our distributions are declared subsequent to quarter end; therefore, the following table represents total cash distributions applicable to the period in which the distributions were earned for the distributions being declared in October. Series B preferred unitholders are entitled to receive a fixed distribution of $68.75 per unit, per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on February 15 and August 15, or the first business day thereafter. Included inthereafter, up to and including February 15, 2023. After February 15, 2023, the table below is $10 millionholders of distributions earned by the Series B preferred units forare entitled to receive cumulative, quarterly distributions payable in arrears on the three months ended September 30, 201915th day of February, May, August and November of each year, or the first business day thereafter, based on a floating annual rate equal to the three-month LIBOR plus 4.652 percent, in each case assuming a distribution is declared by the Board of Directors. Accordingly, a cash distribution payment totaling $21 million will be paid to Series B unitholders on August 17, 2020.

TexNew Mex units are entitled to receive quarterly distribution payments in an amount calculated using the distributable cash flow generated by a particular portion of the TexNew Mex pipeline system, in excess of a base amount and adjusted for previously agreed upon stipulations and contingencies. During the three months ended June 30, 2020 a distribution of $2 million was earned as a result of increased volumes on the TexNew Mex pipeline due to the idling of MPC’s Gallup, New Mexico refinery.

The allocation of total quarterly cash distributions is as follows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019. MPLX’s distributions are declared subsequent to quarter end; therefore, the following table represents total cash distributions applicable to the period in which the distributions were earned.

Capital Expenditures

Our operations are capital intensive, requiring investments to expand, upgrade, enhance or maintain existing operations and to meet environmental and operational regulations. Our capital requirements consist of maintenance capital expenditures and growth capital expenditures. Examples of maintenance capital expenditures are those made to replace partially or fully depreciated assets, to maintain the existing operating capacity of our assets and to extend their useful lives, or other capital expenditures that are incurred in maintaining existing system volumes and related cash flows. In contrast, growth capital expenditures are those incurred for capital improvements that we expect will increase our operating capacity to increase volumes gathered, processed, transported or fractionated, decrease operating expenses within our facilities or increase operating income over the long term. Examples of growth capital expenditures include the acquisition of equipment or the construction costs associated with new well connections, and the development of additional pipeline, processing or storage capacity. In general, growth capital includes costs that are expected to generate additional or new cash flow for MPLX.

Contractual Cash Obligations

As of SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, our contractual cash obligations included long-term debt, finance and operating lease obligations, purchase obligations for services and to acquire property, plant and equipment, and other liabilities. During the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, our third-party, long-term debt obligations increased by $1.26 billion. Also, in connection with the Merger, we assumed ANDX obligations related$825 million and was primarily used to future purchase obligations included in fuel costs associated with the wholesale product supply agreement, NGLs transportation costs, fractionation fees, and fixed charges with MPC. This increasedrepay our future obligations by approximately $11.9 billion as of September 30, 2019.MPC Loan Agreement. There were no other material changes to these obligations outside the ordinary course of business since December 31, 2018.2019.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Off-balance sheet arrangements comprise those arrangements that may potentially impact our liquidity, capital resources and results of operations, even though such arrangements are not recorded as liabilities under U.S. GAAP. Our off-balance sheet arrangements are limited to indemnities and guarantees that are described in Note 20.21. Although these arrangements serve a variety of our business purposes, we are not dependent on them to maintain our liquidity and capital resources, and we are not aware of any circumstances that are reasonably likely to cause the off-balance sheet arrangements to have a material adverse effect on our liquidity and capital resources.

TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES

At SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, MPC owned our non-economic general partnership interest and held approximately 63 percent of theour outstanding MPLX LP common units and the non-economic general partner interest.units.

Excluding revenues attributable to volumes shipped by MPC under joint tariffs with third parties that are treated as third-party revenues for accounting purposes, MPC accounted for 5456 percent and 4653 percent of our total revenues and other income for the thirdsecond quarter of 20192020 and 2018,2019, respectively. We provide crude oil and product pipeline transportation services based on regulated tariff rates and storage services and inland marine transportation based on contracted rates.

Of our total costs and expenses, MPC accounted for 3032 percent and 2730 percent for the thirdsecond quarter of 20192020 and 2018,2019, respectively. MPC performed certain services for us related to information technology, engineering, legal, accounting, treasury, human resources and other administrative services.

For further discussion of agreements and activity with MPC and related parties see Item 1. Business in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20182019 and Note 5 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in this report.

ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS AND COMPLIANCE COSTS

We have incurred and may continue to incur substantial capital, operating and maintenance, and remediation expenditures as a result of environmental laws and regulations. If these expenditures, as with all costs, are not ultimately reflected in the prices of our products and services, our operating results will be adversely affected. We believe that substantially all of our competitors must comply with similar environmental laws and regulations. However, the specific impact on each competitor may vary depending on a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the age and location of its operating facilities.

As of SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, there have been no significant changes to our environmental matters and compliance costs since our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.2019.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

As of SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, there have been no significant changes to our critical accounting estimates since our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.2019, except as noted below.

Impairment Assessments of Long-Lived Assets, Intangible Assets, Goodwill and Equity Method Investments
Fair value calculated for the purpose of testing our long-lived assets, intangible assets, goodwill and equity method investments for impairment is estimated using the expected present value of future cash flows method and comparative market prices when appropriate. Significant judgment is involved in performing these fair value estimates since the results are based on forecasted assumptions. Significant assumptions include:
Future Operating Performance. Our estimates of future operating performance are based on our analysis of various supply and demand factors, which include, among other things, industry-wide capacity, our planned utilization rate,

59




end-user demand, capital expenditures and economic conditions as well as commodity prices. Such estimates are consistent with those used in our planning and capital investment reviews.

Future volumes. Our estimates of future throughput of crude oil, natural gas, NGL and refined product volumes are based on internal forecasts and depend, in part, on assumptions about our customers’ drilling activity which is inherently subjective and contingent upon a number of variable factors (including future or expected pricing considerations), many of which are difficult to forecast. Management considers these volume forecasts and other factors when developing our forecasted cash flows.

Discount rate commensurate with the risks involved. We apply a discount rate to our cash flows based on a variety of factors, including market and economic conditions, operational risk, regulatory risk and political risk. This discount rate is also compared to recent observable market transactions, if possible. A higher discount rate decreases the net present value of cash flows.

Future capital requirements. These are based on authorized spending and internal forecasts.

Assumptions about the effects of COVID-19 and the macroeconomic environment are inherently subjective and contingent upon the duration of the pandemic and its impact on the macroeconomic environment, which is difficult to forecast. We base our fair value estimates on projected financial information which we believe to be reasonable. However, actual results may differ from these projections.
The need to test for impairment can be based on several indicators, including a significant reduction in prices of or demand for commodities, a poor outlook for profitability, a significant reduction in pipeline throughput volumes, a significant reduction in natural gas or NGL volumes processed, other changes to contracts or changes in the regulatory environment in which the asset or equity method investment is located.
Long-lived assets used in operations are assessed for impairment whenever changes in facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable based on the expected undiscounted future cash flow of an asset group. For purposes of impairment evaluation, long-lived assets must be grouped at the lowest level for which independent cash flows can be identified, which is at least at the segment level and in some cases for similar assets in the same geographic region where cash flows can be separately identified. If the sum of the undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying value of an asset group, fair value is calculated, and the carrying value is written down if greater than the calculated fair value.

No impairment triggers were identified in the second quarter of 2020, however, during the first quarter of 2020, we identified an impairment trigger relating to asset groups within our Western G&P reporting unit as a result of significant impacts to forecasted cash flows for these asset groups resulting from the first quarter events and circumstances as discussed in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. The cash flows associated with these assets were significantly impacted by volume declines reflecting decreased forecasted producer customer production as a result of lower commodity prices. After assessing each asset group within the Western G&P reporting unit for impairment, only the East Texas G&P asset group resulted in the fair value of the underlying assets being less than the carrying value. As a result, an impairment of $174 million of property, plant and equipment and $177 million of intangibles was recorded to “Impairment expense” on the Consolidated Statements of Income for the first quarter of 2020. Fair value of our PP&E was determined using a combination of an income and cost approach. The income approach utilized significant assumptions including management’s best estimates of the expected future cash flows and the estimated useful life of the asset group. The cost approach utilized assumptions for the current replacement costs of similar assets adjusted for estimated depreciation and deterioration of the existing equipment and economic obsolescence. The fair value of the intangibles was determined based on applying the multi-period excess earnings method, which is an income approach. Key assumptions included management’s best estimates of the expected future cash flows from existing customers, customer attrition rates and the discount rate. Fair value determinations require considerable judgment and are sensitive to changes in underlying assumptions and factors. As a result, there can be no assurance that the estimates and assumptions made for purposes of our impairment analysis will prove to be an accurate prediction of the future. The fair value measurements for the asset group fair values represent Level 3 measurements.

Unlike long-lived assets, goodwill must be tested for impairment at least annually, and between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level. A goodwill impairment loss is measured as the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, without exceeding the recorded amount of goodwill.

The “Current Economic Environment” section describes the effects that the outbreak of COVID-19 and its development into a pandemic and the decline in commodity prices have had on our business. Due to these developments in the first quarter of 2020, we performed impairment assessments as discussed further below.

Prior to performing our goodwill impairment assessment as of March 31, 2020, MPLX had goodwill totaling approximately $9,536 million. As part of that assessment, MPLX recorded approximately $1,814 million of impairment expense in the first quarter of 2020 related to our Eastern G&P reporting unit within the G&P operating segment, which brought the amount of goodwill recorded within this reporting unit to zero. The impairment was primarily driven by updated guidance related to the slowing of drilling activity which has reduced production growth forecasts from our producer customers. For the remaining reporting units with goodwill, we determined that no significant adjustments to the carrying value of goodwill were necessary. The interim impairment assessment resulted in the fair value of the reporting units exceeding their carrying value by percentages ranging from approximately 8.5 percent to 270.0 percent. The reporting unit whose fair value exceeded its carrying amount by 8.5 percent, our Crude Gathering reporting unit, had goodwill totaling $1.1 billion at March 31, 2020. The operations which make up this reporting unit were acquired through the merger with ANDX. MPC accounted for its October 1, 2018 acquisition of Andeavor (including acquiring control of ANDX), using the acquisition method of accounting, which required Andeavor assets and liabilities to be recorded by MPC at the acquisition date fair value. The Merger was closed on July 30, 2019 and has been treated as a common control transaction, which required the recognition of assets acquired and liabilities assumed using MPC’s historical carrying value. As such, given the short amount of time from when fair value was established to the date of the impairment test, the amount by which the fair value exceeded the carrying value within this reporting unit is not unexpected. An increase of one percentage point to the discount rate used to estimate the fair value of this reporting unit would not have resulted in goodwill impairment as of March 31, 2020. No other reporting units had had fair values exceeding carrying values of less than 20 percent. There were no events or changes in circumstances noted in the second quarter of 2020 which would indicate it is more likely than not that the fair value of our reporting units with goodwill is less than their carrying amount.
Significant assumptions used to estimate the reporting units’ fair value included estimates of future cash flows and market information for comparable assets. Fair value determinations require considerable judgment and are sensitive to changes in underlying assumptions and factors. As a result, there can be no assurance that the estimates and assumptions made for purposes of the impairment tests will prove to be an accurate prediction of the future. See Note 12 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information relating to goodwill.
Equity method investments are assessed for impairment whenever factors indicate an other than temporary loss in value. Factors providing evidence of such a loss include the fair value of an investment that is less than its carrying value, absence of an ability to recover the carrying value or the investee’s inability to generate income sufficient to justify our carrying value. During the first quarter of 2020, we assessed certain of our equity method investments for impairment as a result of a number of first quarter events and circumstances as discussed in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. As a result, we recorded an other than temporary impairment for three joint ventures in which we have an interest. Impairment of these investments was $1,264 million, of which $1,251 million was related to MarkWest Utica EMG, L.L.C. and its investment in Ohio Gathering Company, L.L.C. The fair value of the investments was determined based upon applying the discounted cash flow method, which is an income approach. The discounted cash flow fair value estimate is based on known or knowable information at the interim measurement date. The significant assumptions that were used to develop the estimate of the fair value under the discounted cash flow method include management’s best estimates of the expected future cash flows, including prices and volumes, the weighted average cost of capital and the long-term growth rate. Fair value determinations require considerable judgment and are sensitive to changes in underlying assumptions and factors. As such, the fair value of these equity method investments represents a Level 3 measurement. As a result, there can be no assurance that the estimates and assumptions made for purposes of the impairment test will prove to be an accurate prediction of the future. The impairment was recorded through “Income from equity method investments.” The impairments were largely due to a reduction in forecasted volumes gathered and processed by the systems operated by the joint ventures. At June 30, 2020 we had $4,065 million of equity method investments recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
An estimate of the sensitivity to net income resulting from impairment calculations is not practicable, given the numerous assumptions (e.g., pricing, volumes and discount rates) that can materially affect our estimates. That is, unfavorable adjustments to some of the above listed assumptions may be offset by favorable adjustments in other assumptions. See Note 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information relating to equity method investments.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We are exposed to market risks related to the volatility of commodity prices. We employ various strategies, including the potential use of commodity derivative instruments, to economically hedge the risks related to these price fluctuations. We are also exposed to market risks related to changes in interest rates. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, we did not have any open financial derivative instruments to economically hedge the risks related to interest rate fluctuations or commodity derivative instruments to economically hedge the risks related to the volatility of commodity prices; however, we continually monitor the market and our exposure and may enter into these arrangements in the future. While there is a risk related to changes in fair value of derivative instruments we may enter into; such risk is mitigated by price or rate changes related to the underlying commodity or financial transaction.

Commodity Price Risk

The information about commodity price risk for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20192020 does not differ materially from that discussed in Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.2019.

Outstanding Derivative Contracts

We have a natural gas purchase commitment embedded in a keep-whole processing agreement with a producer customer in the Southern Appalachian region expiring in December 2022. The customer has the unilateral option to extend the agreement for two consecutive five-year terms through December 2032. For accounting purposes, these agreementsthe natural gas purchase commitment and the term extending options have been aggregated into a single compound embedded derivative. The probability of the customer exercising its options is determined based on assumptions about the customer’s potential business strategy decision points that may exist at the time they would elect whether to renew the contract. The changes in fair value of this compound embedded derivative are based on the difference between the contractual and index pricing and the probability of the producer customer exercising its option to extend and the estimated favorability of these contracts compared to current market conditions.extend. The changes in fair value are recorded in earnings through “Purchased product costs” on the Consolidated Statements of Income. As of SeptemberJune 30, 20192020 and December 31, 2018,2019, the estimated fair value of this contract was a liability of $54$51 million and $61$60 million, respectively.

Open Derivative Positions and Sensitivity Analysis

As of SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, we have no open commodity derivative contracts. We evaluate our portfolio of commodity derivative instruments on an ongoing basis and add or revise strategies in anticipation of changes in market conditions and in risk profiles.

Interest Rate Risk

Sensitivity analysis of the effect of a hypothetical 100-basis-point change in interest rates on long-term debt, excluding finance leases, is provided in the following table. Fair value of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable and accrued interest approximate carrying value and are relatively insensitive to changes in interest rates due to the short-term maturity of the instruments. Accordingly, these instruments are excluded from the table.

Our sensitivity to interest rate declines and corresponding increases in the fair value of our debt portfolio unfavorably affects our results of operations and cash flows only when we elect to repurchase or otherwise retire fixed-rate debt at prices above carrying value. Interest rate fluctuations generally do not impact the fair value of borrowings under our bank revolving credit or term loan facilities, but may affect our results of operations and cash flows. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, we did not have any financial derivative instruments to hedge the risks related to interest rate fluctuations; however, we continually monitor the market and our exposure and may enter into these agreements in the future.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

An evaluation of 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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer of our general partner. Based upon that evaluation, the chief executive officer and chief financial officer of our general partner concluded that the design and operation of these disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of SeptemberJune 30, 20192020, the end of the period covered by this report.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

During the quarter ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Dakota Access Pipeline

In connection with Bilfinger Westcon, Inc.our 9.19 percent indirect interest in a joint venture (“Westcon”Dakota Access”) that owns and operates the Dakota Access Pipeline and Energy Transfer Crude Oil Pipeline projects, collectively referred to as the Bakken Pipeline system or DAPL, we have entered into a Contingent Equity Contribution Agreement whereby MPLX LP, along with the other joint venture owners in the Bakken Pipeline system, have agreed to make equity contributions to the joint venture upon certain events occurring to allow the entities that own and operate the Bakken Pipeline system to satisfy their senior note payment obligations. The senior notes were instituted in 2016 and 2017 in Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Ohio. The lawsuits relateissued to disputes regardingrepay amounts owed by the pipeline companies to fund the cost of construction work performed by Westcon at the Bluestone, Mobley and Cadiz processing complexes in Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Ohio, respectively, and the Hopedale fractionation complex in Ohio. With respect to work performed by Westcon at the Mobley and Bluestone processing complexes, one or more of the MPLX Parties have asserted breach of contract, fraud, and with respect to work performed at the Mobley processing complex, MarkWest Liberty Midstream has also asserted negligent misrepresentation claims against Westcon. Westcon has also asserted claims against one or more of the MPLX Parties regarding these construction projects for breach of contract, unjust enrichment, promissory estoppel, fraud and constructive fraud, tortious interference with contractual relations, and civil conspiracy. Collectively, in the several cases, the MPLX Parties sought in excess of $10 million, plus an unspecified amount of punitive damages. Collectively, in the several cases, Westcon sought in excess of $40 million, plus an unspecified amount of punitive damages. Bakken Pipeline system.

As previously disclosed in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, in March 2020, the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia (the “D.D.C.”) ordered the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (“Army Corps”), which granted permits for the Bakken Pipeline system, to conduct a full environmental impact statement (“EIS”), and further requested briefing on whether an easement permit necessary for the operation of the Bakken Pipeline system should be vacated while the EIS is being prepared.

On July 2019, Westcon6, 2020, the D.D.C. ordered vacatur of the easement permit during the pendency of an EIS and further ordered shut down of the pipeline by August 5, 2020. The D.D.C. denied a motion to stay that order. Dakota Access and the Army Corps are appealing the D.D.C.’s order to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. On July 14, 2020, the Circuit

Court issued an administrative stay while the court considers Dakota Access and the Army Corps’ emergency motion for stay pending appeal.

If the pipeline is temporarily shutdown pending completion of the EIS, MPLX Parties reached an agreementwould have to resolvecontribute its 9.19 percent pro rata share of funds required to pay interest accruing on the disputes among those partiesnotes and any portion of the principal that matures while the pipeline is shutdown. MPLX also expects to contribute its 9.19 percent pro rata share of any costs to remediate any deficiencies to reinstate the permit and/or return the pipeline into operation. If the vacatur of the easement permit results in a permanent shutdown of the pipeline, MPLX would have to contribute its 9.19 percent pro rata share of the cost to redeem the bonds (including the 1% redemption premium required pursuant to the indenture governing the notes) and any accrued and unpaid interest.

Tesoro High Plains Pipeline

In early July, MPLX received a Notification of Trespass Determination from the Bureau of Indian Affairs (“BIA”) relating to a portion of the Bluestone processing complexpipeline that crosses the Fort Berthold Reservation in Pennsylvania.North Dakota. The notification covers the rights of way for 23 tracts of land and demands the immediate cessation of pipeline operations. The notification also assesses trespass damages of approximately $187 million. MPLX expects to receive a notification for an additional 11 tracts in the near future. We appealed this determination, which triggered an automatic stay of the requested pipeline shutdown and payment. We believe the trespass damage calculation is dependent on a novel interpretation of the applicable law, and we continue to actively negotiate settlement of this matter with holders of the property rights at issue. Management does not believe the ultimate resolution of this matter will not have a material adverse effect on MPLX’sour consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Environmental Proceedings
Gathering and Processing
On May 7, 2020, we received a show cause letter from the U.S. EPA relating to alleged violations relating to MPLX’s compliance under its Sarsen facility LDAR consent decree. We have reached a settlement in principle to resolve this matter with a cash penalty of $150,000. We expect the settlement will be finalized and the penalty will be paid in the third quarter of 2020.
On May 13, 2020, we received an offer from the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality to settle alleged violations relating to the installation of high bleed pneumatic controllers at its Hancock Compressor Station and Carthage East Gas Plant. We have reached an agreement to settle this matter for a cash penalty of $165,600.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Except as described below, thereThere have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018,2019, as updated in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2019.
MPC’s ongoing review of strategic alternatives for its midstream business could materially impact our strategic direction, business and results of operations.
MPC’s board of directors has formed a special committee to enhance its evaluation of potential value-creating options for its midstream business, of which MPLX is the primary component. MPC’s exploration of strategic alternatives, including any

72



uncertainty created by this process, involves a number of risks: significant fluctuations in our unit price occur in response to developments relating to the strategic review process or market speculation regarding any such developments; we may encounter difficulties in hiring, retaining and motivating key personnel who provide services to us during this process or as a result of uncertainties generated by this process or any developments or actions relating to it; we may incur substantial increases in general and administrative expense associated with increased legal fees and the need to retain and compensate third party advisors; and we may experience difficulties in preserving the commercially sensitive information that may need to be disclosed to third parties during this process or in connection with an assessment of our strategic alternatives. On November 1, 2019, Moody’s announced it had changed its outlook for MPC’s and MPLX’s credit ratings from stable to negative following the recent announcements regarding MPC’s planned spin-off of its Speedway business and its midstream review, and the midstream review could be a factor causing or contributing to a future determination by one or more of the rating agencies to lower MPLX’s credit ratings. The strategic review process also requires significant time and attention from management, which could distract them from other tasks in operating our business. There can be no assurance that this process will result in the pursuit or consummation of any strategic transaction. The occurrence of any one or more of the above risks could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.March 31, 2020.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities5. Other Information

In connectionOn July 31, 2020, MPLX entered into a Redemption Agreement (the “Redemption Agreement”) with the closingWestern Refining Southwest, Inc., an Arizona corporation (“WRSW”) and wholly owned subsidiary of MPC, pursuant to which MPLX agreed to transfer, following a series of intercompany transactions, all of the Merger, each common unit held by ANDX’s public unitholders was converted intooutstanding membership interests in Western Refining Wholesale, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“WRW”) to WRSW in exchange for the right to receive 1.135redemption of MPLX common units. ANDX common units held by certain affiliatesWRSW.  The transaction effects the transfer to MPC of MPC were converted into the right to receive 1.0328Western wholesale distribution business that MPLX common units.

Additionally,acquired as a result of its acquisition of ANDX. The Redemption Agreement was approved by the Merger, each ANDX TexNew Mex conflicts committee and the board of directors of MPLX’s general partner. The conflicts committee, which is composed of independent members of the board of directors of MPLX’s general partner, retained independent legal and financial advisors to assist it in evaluating and negotiating the transaction.

Consistent with the terms of the Redemption Agreement, effective as of 11:59 p.m. on July 31, 2020 (the “Closing”), all of the outstanding membership interests in WRW were transferred to WRSW, and WRW became an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of MPC. At the Closing, per the terms of Redemption Agreement, MPLX redeemed 18,582,088 Common Units (the “Redeemed Units”) held by WRSW. The number of Redeemed Units was calculated by dividing WRW’s aggregate valuation of $340 million by the simple average of the volume weighted average New York Stock Exchange prices of an MPLX Common

Unit for the ten trading days ending at market close on July 27, 2020. Following the redemption of the Redeemed Units, and consistent with the terms of the Redemption Agreement, MPLX cancelled the Redeemed Units.

After giving effect to transactions contemplated under the Redemption Agreement (including the cancellation of the Redeemed Units as described above), MPC holds, indirectly through its subsidiaries, 647,415,452 common units constituting approximately 62% of the MPLX common units issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger was converted into a right for Western Refining Southwest, Inc. (“Southwest”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of MPC, as the holder of all such units, to receive a unit representing a substantially equivalent special limited partner interest in MPLX (the “MPLX TexNew Mex Units”). By virtue of the conversion, all ANDX TexNew Mex Units were cancelled and ceased to exist as of August 3, 2020.

Each of MPLX and WRSW has agreed to customary representations, warranties and covenants, as well as customary indemnification obligations between the effective time ofparties, in the Merger. The MPLX TexNew Mex Units are a new class of units in MPLX substantially equivalent to the ANDX TexNew Mex Units, including substantially equivalent rights, powers, duties and obligations that the ANDX TexNew Mex Units had immediately prior to the closing of the Merger. As a result of the Merger, the ANDX Special Limited Partner Interest outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger was converted into a right for Southwest, as the holder of all such interest, to receive a substantially equivalent special limited partner interest in MPLX (the “MPLX Special Limited Partner Interest”). By virtue of the conversion, the ANDX Special Limited Partner Interest was cancelled and ceased to exist as of the effective time of the Merger.Redemption Agreement.
