Notes to Consolidated Financial StatementsPhillips 66 Partners LP
 
Note 1—Business and BasisDescription of Presentationthe Business
Unless otherwise stated or the context otherwise indicates, all references to “Phillips 66 Partners,” “the Partnership,” “us,” “our,” “we,” or similar expressions refer to Phillips 66 Partners LP, including its consolidated subsidiaries. References to Phillips 66 may refer to Phillips 66 and/or its subsidiaries, depending on the context. References to our “General Partner” refer to Phillips 66 Partners GP LLC, and references to Phillips 66 PDI refer to Phillips 66 Project Development Inc., the Phillips 66 subsidiary that holds a limited partner interest in us and wholly owns our General Partner.
Description of the Business
We are a growth-oriented master limited partnership formed to own, operate, develop and acquire primarily fee-based midstream assets. Our operations consist of crude oil, refined petroleum products and natural gas liquids (NGL) pipelines, terminals and other midstream assets. Our common units trade on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol PSXP.

Our operations consist of crude oil, refined petroleum products and NGL transportation, terminaling, processing terminaling and storage assets. We conduct our operations through both wholly owned and joint venture operations. The majority of our wholly owned assets are associated with, and are integral to the operation of, nine of Phillips 66’s owned or joint venture refineries.

We primarily generate revenue by providing fee-based transportation, terminaling, processing, storage and NGL fractionation services to Phillips 66 and other customers. Our equity affiliates primarily generate revenue from transporting and terminaling NGL,crude oil, refined petroleum products and crude oil.NGL. Since we do not own any of the NGL, crude oil, and refined petroleum products and NGL we handle and do not engage in the trading of NGL, crude oil, and refined petroleum products and NGL, we have limited direct exposure to risks associated with fluctuating commodity prices, although these risks indirectly influence our activities and results of operations over the long term.

Basis of Presentation
We have acquired assets from Phillips 66 that were considered transfers of businesses between entities under common control. This required the transactions to be accounted for as if the transfers had occurred at the beginning of the transfer period, with prior periods retrospectively adjusted to furnish comparative information. Accordingly, the accompanying financial statements and related notes have been retrospectively adjusted to include the historical results and financial position of the acquired businesses prior to the effective date of each acquisition. We refer to these pre-acquisition operations as those of our “Predecessors.”

The combined financial statements of our Predecessors were derived from the accounting records of Phillips 66 and reflect the combined historical results of operations, financial position and cash flows of our Predecessors as if such businesses had been combined for all periods presented.

All intercompany transactions and accounts within our Predecessors have been eliminated. The assets and liabilities of our Predecessors in these financial statements have been reflected on a historical cost basis because the transfer of the Predecessors to us occurred within the Phillips 66 consolidated group. The consolidated statement of income also includes expense allocations for certain functions performed by Phillips 66, including operational support services such as engineering and logistics and allocations of general corporate expenses related to executive oversight, accounting, treasury, tax, legal, information technology and procurement. These allocations were based primarily on the relative carrying values of properties, plants and equipment and equity-method investments, or number of terminals and pipeline miles, and secondarily on activity-based cost allocations. Our management believes the assumptions underlying the allocation of expenses from Phillips 66 are reasonable. Nevertheless, the financial results of our Predecessors may not include all of the actual expenses that would have been incurred had our Predecessors been a stand-alone publicly traded partnership during the periods presented.



Note 2—Interim Financial Information

The unaudited interim financial information presented in the financial statements included in this report is unauditedprepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP) and includes all known accruals and adjustments necessary, in the opinion of management, for a fair presentation of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Unless otherwise specified, all such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. Certain notes and other information have been condensed or omitted from the interim financial statements included in this report. Therefore, these interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in our 20172018 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018March 31, 2019, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Certain prior period financial information has been recast to reflect the current year’s presentation.


Note 3—Changes in Accounting Principles

Effective January 1, 2018,2019, we adoptedelected to adopt Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2017-01, “Business Combinations2016-13, “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 805)326): Clarifying the DefinitionMeasurement of a Business,Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,” which clarifiesamends the definitionimpairment model to utilize an expected loss methodology in place of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist in evaluating whether transactions should be accountedincurred loss methodology for as acquisitions of assets or businesses.financial instruments and off-balance sheet credit exposures. The amendment providesrequires entities to consider a screen for determining when a transaction involves an acquisitionbroader range of a business. If substantially allinformation to estimate expected credit losses, which may result in earlier recognition of losses. The adoption of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset, or a group of similar identifiable assets, then the screen is met and the transaction is not considered an acquisition of a business. If the screen is not met, the amendment requires that to be considered a business, the operation must include, at a minimum, an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create an output. The guidance may reduce the number of future transactions accounted for as business acquisitions. At the time of adoption, this ASU had no impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Effective January 1, 2018, we adopted ASU No. 2016-01, “Financial Instruments—Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.” The majority of this ASU’s provisions amend only the presentation or disclosures of financial instruments; however, one provision could also affect net income. Equity investments reported under the cost method or the lower of cost or fair value method of accounting, in accordance with previous U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), are now reported at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. For equity investments that dodid not have readily determinable fair values, we elected to carry such investments at cost less impairments, if any, adjusted up or down for price changes in similar financial instruments issued by the investee, when and if observed. At the time of adoption, this ASU had noa material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Effective January 1, 2018,2019, we adopted ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers2016-02, “Leases (Topic 606),842)” using the modified retrospective transition method appliedmethod. The new standard establishes a right-of-use (ROU) model that requires a lessee to record a ROU asset and corresponding lease liability on the consolidated balance sheet for all operating leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases will continue to be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the consolidated income statement.

We elected the package of practical expedients that allowed us to carry forward the determination of whether an arrangement contains a lease and lease classification, as well as our accounting for initial direct costs for existing contracts. UnderWe recorded a noncash cumulative effect adjustment to our opening consolidated balance sheet as of January

1, 2019, to record an aggregate operating lease ROU asset and a corresponding lease liability of $45 million. See Note 5—Lease Assets and Liabilities, for the new revenue recognition guidance, recognitionlease disclosures required by this ASU for lessees.

Effective for periods after January 1, 2019, we elected to account for lease and service elements of revenue involvescontracts classified as leases on a multiple step approach including: (i) identifyingcombined basis under the contract withprovisions of ASU No. 2016-02, except for leases of processing-type assets, which contain non-ratable fees related to turnaround activity. For these types of leases, we continued to separate the customer, (ii) identifyinglease and service elements based on relative standalone prices and applied the separate performance obligations, (iii) determining the transaction price, (iv) allocating the transaction pricenew lease standard to the performance obligationslease element and (v) recognizing the revenue asstandard to the performance obligations are satisfied. Additional disclosures are required to enable users of financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. In addition, all but one of our equity-method investees adopted ASU No. 2014-09 as of January 1, 2018. The remaining equity method investee will adopt this ASU in 2019.

See Note 4—Operating Revenues, for additional impacts of revenue recognition on certain minimum volume commitment contracts with recovery provisions. Certain agreementsadopting this ASU, including new lease disclosures required for lessors.


Note 4—Operating Revenues

Operating revenues are primarily generated from long-term pipeline transportation, terminaling, storage, processing and fractionation serviceslease and service agreements, mainly with Phillips 66. These agreements typically include escalation clauses to adjust transportation tariffs and terminaling and storage fees to reflect changes in price indices. In addition, most of these agreements contain renewal options, which typically require the mutual consent of both our customers and us.
Total operating revenues disaggregated by asset type were as follows:

The majority of our agreements with Phillips 66 are considered operating leases under FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 840, “Leases.” We identifiedGAAP. For reporting periods prior to our adoption of the separatenew lease accounting standard, ASU No. 2016-02, as of January 1, 2019, the lease and service elements included in these contracts were separated with the lease element recognized in accordance with the existing lease accounting standard and the service element recognized in accordance with the revenue accounting standard. Effective for periods after January 1, 2019, we elected to account for lease and service elements of our revenuecontracts classified as leases on a combined basis under the provisions of ASU No. 2016-02, except for leases of processing-type assets, which contain non-ratable fees related to turnaround activity. For these operatingtypes of leases, we continued to separate the lease and service elements based on relative standalone prices and applied ASU No. 2014-09 onlythe new lease standard to the lease element and the revenue standard to the service element, whileelement. As a result of our change in accounting policy, our lease and service revenues, lease and service accounts receivable and lease and service deferred revenues reported for the first quarter of 2019 are not prepared on the same basis as the amounts reported for the first quarter of 2018.

Deferred Revenues
Our deferred revenues represent payments received from our customers, mainly Phillips 66, in advance of the period in which lease and service contract performance obligations have been fulfilled. The majority of our deferred revenues relate to a tolling agreement and a storage agreement that are classified as leases. The remainder of our deferred revenues relate to lease and service agreements that contain minimum volume commitments with recovery provisions. Our deferred revenues are recorded in the “Deferred revenues” and “Other liabilities” lines on our consolidated balance sheet.

Total future minimum lease payments from customers$4,560

Remaining Service Performance Obligations
We typically have long-term service contracts with our customers, of which the original durations range from 5 to 15 years. The weighted-average remaining duration of these contracts is 11 years. These contracts include both fixed and variable transaction price components. At March 31, 2019, future service revenues expected to be recognized for the fixed component of the transaction price of our remaining performance obligations from service contracts with our customers that have an original expected duration of greater than one year were:

2022130

Total future service revenues$1,379


For the remaining service performance obligations, we applied the exemption for variable prices allocated entirely to a wholly unsatisfied performance obligation or to a wholly unsatisfied promise to transfer distinct services as part of a performance obligation.


Note 5—Lease Assets and Liabilities

We have agreements with Phillips 66 to lease land underlying or associated with certain of our assets that are classified as operating leases. Due to the economic infeasibility of canceling these leases, we consider them non-cancellable. Certain leases include escalation clauses for adjusting rental payments to reflect changes in price indices. There are no significant restrictions imposed on us in our lease agreements with regards to distribution payments, asset dispositions or borrowing ability.
Effective with our implementation of ASU No. 2016-02, we elected to discount lease obligations using our incremental borrowing rate. For all leases, we elected the practical expedient to not separate service and lease costs. Our right-of-way agreements in effect prior to January 1, 2019, were not accounted for as leases as they were not initially determined

to be leases at their commencement dates. However, modifications to these agreements or new agreements will be assessed and accounted for accordingly under AASU No. 2016-02. For short-term leases, which are leases that, at the commencement date, have a lease term of 12 months or less and do not include an option to purchase the underlying asset that is reasonably certain to exercise, we elected to not recognize the ROU asset and corresponding lease liability on our consolidated balance sheet.

Operating lease ROU assets are recorded in the “Other assets” line and lease liabilities are recorded in the “Other current liabilities” and “Other liabilities” lines on our consolidated balance sheet. At March 31, 2019, the total operating lease ROU asset was $45 million.
Future minimum lease payments and recorded short- and long-term lease liabilities at March 31, 2019, for operating leases were:

Gray Oak Pipeline Project Acquisition
In April 2018, we entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement with Phillips 66 PDI to acquire its 100 percent100% interest in Gray Oak Holdings LLC (Holdings LLC), a limited liability company that, at that time, owned a 100 percent100% interest in Gray Oak Pipeline, LLC (Gray Oak LLC), an entity formed to develop and construct theOak. Gray Oak Pipeline system. Under common control accounting, we considered the cash consideration paid of approximately $3 million to be a reimbursement of Phillips 66 PDI’s previously incurred costs, and expensed this amount to “General and administrative expenses” in the second quarter of 2018. At September 30, 2018, another party has the right, but not the obligation, to acquire up to a 35 percent interest in Gray Oak Holdings LLC. Subject to certain conditions, the option expires on November 30, 2018. See Note 5—Equity Investments, for additional information on Gray Oak LLC, including our variable interest entity assessment.

Bakken Pipeline/MSLP Acquisition
In September 2017, we entered into a Contribution, Conveyance and Assumption Agreement with subsidiaries of Phillips 66 to acquire a 25 percent interest in each of Dakota Access, LLC (Dakota Access) and Energy Transfer Crude Oil Company, LLC (ETCO), together referred to as the Bakken Pipeline, and a 100 percent interest in Merey Sweeny, L.P. (MSLP). Collectively, the assets acquired in the acquisition are referred to as the Bakken Pipeline/MSLP Acquisition. We paid Phillips 66 total consideration of $1.65 billion, consisting of $372 million in cash, the assumption of $588 million of promissory notes payable to Phillips 66 and a $450 million term loan under which Phillips 66 was the obligor, and the issuance of 4,713,113 common units to Phillips 66 PDI and 292,665 general partner units to our General Partner to maintain its 2 percent general partner interest. The Bakken Pipeline/MSLP Acquisition closed in October 2017.

In connection with the Bakken Pipeline/MSLP Acquisition, we entered into commercial agreements with Phillips 66 and amended the omnibus and operational services agreements with Phillips 66. See Note 13—Related Party Transactions for additional information on our commercial and other agreements with Phillips 66. Pursuant to the tolling services agreement entered into with Phillips 66 and related to MSLP operations, we received $53 million from Phillips 66 for the prepayment of services related to MSLP’s next scheduled maintenance turnaround, which was recorded as deferred revenue in our consolidated balance sheet as of the acquisition date.

Common Control Transactions
The Bakken Pipeline/MSLP Acquisition was considered a transfer of businesses between entities under common control, and therefore the related acquired assets were transferred at historical carrying value. The aggregate net book value of the underlying acquired assets in the Bakken Pipeline/MSLP Acquisition, at the time of acquisition, was $729 million. Because the Bakken Pipeline/MSLP Acquisition was a common control transaction in which we acquired a business, our historical financial statements were retrospectively adjusted to reflect the results of operations, financial position, and cash flows of the acquired assets as if we owned the acquired assets for the period from February 1, 2017, through October 5, 2017. For periods prior to February 1, 2017, both the Bakken Pipeline and MSLP investments were accounted for under the equity method of accounting by Phillips 66 and, thus, were not subject to retrospective adjustments.

The following tables present our results of operations and cash flows giving effect to the Bakken Pipeline/MSLP Acquisition. The second column in both tables presents the retrospective adjustments made to our historical financial information for the acquired assets prior to the effective date of the acquisition. The third column in both tables presents our consolidated financial information as retrospectively adjusted.

Note 5—Equity Investments

Gray Oak Pipeline
As discussed in Note 4—Acquisitions, in April 2018, we acquired Phillips 66 PDI’s then 100 percent interest in Gray Oak LLC. Gray Oak LLC is developing and constructing the Gray Oak Pipeline system which, upon completion, will provide crude oil transportation from the Permian Basin and Eagle Ford to destinations in the Corpus Christi, Texas, and Freeport markets on the Sweeny, Texas, Gulf Coast.area, including the Phillips 66 Sweeny Refinery. The pipeline system is expectedanticipated to be placed in service by the end of 2019.

In We accounted for the acquisition of Holdings LLC as an acquisition of assets under common control accounting. Also in April 2018, a co-venturer acquired a 25 percent25% interest in Gray Oak, LLC, along with sufficient voting rights over key governance provisions such that we no longer could assert control over Gray Oak LLC. At that time,Oak. As a result, we (through our consolidated subsidiary Holdings LLC) began using the equity method of accounting for our investment in Gray Oak LLC. At September 30,at that time.

In December 2018, anothera third party has theexercised its option to acquire a 10 percent35% interest in Holdings LLC. Because Holdings LLC’s sole asset was its 75% ownership interest in Gray Oak, LLC. Subject to certain conditions, including extension by mutual agreement of the parties, the option expires on November 3, 2018.
Gray Oak LLCwhich is considered a variablefinancial asset, and because certain restrictions were placed on the third party’s ability to transfer or sell its interest entity because it does not have sufficient equity at risk to fully fundin Holdings LLC during the construction of all assets required for principal operations. We have determined we are not the primary beneficiary because we and our co-venturer jointly direct the activities of the Gray Oak Pipeline, that most significantly impact economic performance. At September 30, 2018, our maximum exposurethe legal sale of the 35% interest did not qualify as a sale under GAAP. Rather, the third party’s cash contributions to loss was $72 million, which represented the aggregate book valueHoldings LLC in 2019 to fund its share of our equity investment in Gray Oak LLC.

South Texas Gateway Terminal
In April 2018, we acquiredpreviously incurred and future construction costs plus a 25 percent interestpremium to us are reflected as a long-term obligation in the South Texas Gateway Terminal under development by Buckeye Partners, L.P. This marine terminal will connect to“Obligation from equity interest transfer” line on our consolidated balance sheet and financing cash inflows in the “Proceeds from equity interest transfer” line on our consolidated statement of cash flows. After construction of the Gray Oak Pipeline is completed, these restrictions expire, and the sale will be recognized under GAAP. We will continue to control and consolidate Holdings LLC after sale recognition, and therefore the third party’s 35% interest will be recharacterized from a long-term obligation to a noncontrolling interest on our consolidated balance sheet at that time. Also at that time, the premium paid will be recharacterized from a long-term obligation to a gain in Corpus Christi, Texas, and will haveour consolidated statement of income. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the third party contributed an initial storage capacityaggregate of 3.4$341 million barrels. The terminal is expectedinto Holdings LLC, which Holdings LLC used to begin operations by the endfund its portion of 2019.Gray Oak’s cash calls.

South Texas Gateway TerminalIn February 2019, Holdings LLC transferred a 10% interest in Gray Oak to a third party that exercised a purchase option for proceeds of $81 million. This transfer was accounted for as a sale and resulted in a decrease in Holdings LLC’s ownership interest in Gray Oak from 75% to 65% and the recognition of an immaterial gain. The proceeds received from this sale are reflected as an investing cash inflow in the “Proceeds from sale of equity interest” line on our consolidated statement of cash flows. At March 31, 2019, our effective ownership interest in the Gray Oak Pipeline system was 42.25%.

Gray Oak is considered a variable interest entity because it does not have sufficient equity at risk to fully fund the construction of all assets required for principal operations. We have determined we are not the primary beneficiary because we and our co-venturers jointly direct the activities of the terminalGray Oak that most significantly impact economic performance. At September 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, our maximum exposure to loss was $16$771 million, which represented guaranteed purchase obligations of $30 million and the aggregate book value of our equity method investment in South Texas Gateway Terminal LLC.Gray Oak of $741 million.

Bakken Pipeline
In March 2019, a wholly owned subsidiary of Dakota Access, LLC (Dakota Access) closed on an offering of $2,500 million aggregate principal amount of unsecured senior notes.  The following table summarizesnet proceeds from the carrying valueissuance of these notes were used to repay amounts outstanding under existing credit facilities of Dakota Access and Energy Transfer Crude Oil Company, LLC (ETCO).  Dakota Access and ETCO have guaranteed repayment of the notes.  In addition, we and our co-venturers provided a Contingent Equity Contribution Undertaking (CECU) in conjunction with the notes offering.  Under the CECU, if Dakota Access receives an unfavorable court ruling related to certain disputed construction permits and Dakota Access determines that an equity investments.

The fair value of our fixed-rate and floating-rate debt is estimated based on observable market prices and is classified in level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of our fixed-rate debt amounted to $2,765 million and $2,918 million at September 30, 2018, and December 31, 2017, respectively. The fair value of our floating-rate debt approximated carrying value of $75 million and $100 million at September 30, 2018, and December 31, 2017, respectively.


Note 8—Equity

Our initial $250 million continuous offering of common units, or at-the-market (ATM) program, was completed in June 2018. At that time, we commenced issuing common units under our second $250 million ATM program. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, on a settlement date basis, we had issued an aggregate of 898,313 and 2,239,247 common units under our ATM programs, generating net proceeds of $47 million and $114 million, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2017, we did not issue any common units under our ATM program. For the nine months ended, September 30, 2017, on a settlement date basis, we had issued an aggregate of 3,323,576 common units under our ATM programs, generating net proceeds of $171 million. Since inception through September 30, 2018, we had issued an aggregate of 5,958,115 common units under our ATM programs, generating net proceeds of $306 million. The net proceeds from sales under the ATM programs are used for general partnership purposes, which may include debt repayment, acquisitions, capital expenditures and additions to working capital.


Note 9—Operating Revenues

Revenues are primarily recognized for pipeline transportation, terminaling, storage, processing and fractionation services generated under long-term agreements. A significant portion of our revenues are derived from Phillips 66. The majority of our agreements for transportation, terminaling, storage, processing and fractionation services with Phillips 66 are considered operating leases under GAAP. As part of our adoption of ASU No. 2014-09, we applied the new revenue recognition standard only to the service element of these operating leases. The separation of the lease and service elements was based on an analysis of service-related and lease-related costs for each contract, adjusted for representative profit margins. The lease element continues to be accounted for under lease accounting standards.


Revenues from fixed minimum volume commitments are recognized over the performance obligation period for stand-ready service contracts. Revenues from the variable element of these stand-ready contracts and other contracts without fixed elements are recognized based on the actual volumes transported, stored, processed and fractionated at contractual rates because the actual volumes specifically relate to our efforts to transfer the distinct services. Generally, our services are billed and payments are received on a monthly basis.

Disaggregated Revenues

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, lease revenues were $159 million and $446 million, respectively, and service revenues were $106 million and $329 million, respectively. Lease and service revenues were recorded in the “Operating revenues—related parties” and “Operating revenues—third parties” lines on our consolidated statement of income.  

Contract-Related Assets and Liabilities
At September 30, 2018, and January 1, 2018, lease receivables were $51 million and $49 million, respectively, and service receivables were $44 million and $37 million, respectively.

Our contract liabilities primarily represent payments from our customers, mainly Phillips 66, for volume throughput less than the contractually required minimum throughput volumes. These deficiency payments are deferred and recognized at the earlier of the period in which our customers make up the shortfall volumes or when it is probable our customers will not make up the shortfall volumes prior to the expiration of the contractual make-up period. Our contract liabilities are included in the “Deferred revenues” and “Deferred revenues and other liabilities” lines on our consolidated balance sheet. At September 30, 2018, and January 1, 2018, total deferred revenues were $78 million and $93 million, respectively, of which $6 million and $13 million, respectively, were contract liabilities related to the service element. Service-related revenues recognized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, that were included in the contract liability balance at January 1, 2018, were $1 million and $10 million, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, there were no material differences between the amount that we recognized as revenues relating to minimum throughput deficiency payments compared to the amount that would have been recognized prior to the adoption of the new revenue recognition standard.


Remaining Performance Obligations
We typically have long-term contracts with our customers, most of which have original durations of up to 15 years. The average remaining duration of these contracts is eight years. At September 30, 2018, future revenues expected to be recognized for the fixed component of the transaction price of our remaining performance obligations from contracts with our customers with an original expected duration of greater than one year were:

Note 10—Net Income Per Limited Partner Unit

Net income per limited partner unit applicable to common units is computed by dividing the limited partners’ interest in net income attributable to the Partnership by the weighted-average number of common units outstanding for the period. Because we have more than one class of participating securities, we use the two-class method to calculate the net income per unit applicable to the limited partners. As of September 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, the classes of participating securities included common units, general partner units and incentive distribution rights (IDRs). For the three and nine months ended September 30,March 31, 2019 and 2018, our preferred units are potentially dilutive securities and were dilutive to net income per limited partner unit. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, basic and diluted net income per limited partner unit are the same because we did not have potentially dilutive common units outstanding.

Net income earned by the Partnership is allocated between the limited partners and the General Partner (including the General Partner’s IDRs) in accordance with our partnership agreement, after giving effect to priority income allocations to the holders of the preferred units. First, earnings are allocated based on actual cash distributions declared to our unitholders, including those attributable to the General Partner’s IDRs. To the extent net income attributable to the Partnership exceeds or is less than cash distributions, this difference is allocated based on the unitholders’ respective ownership percentages, after consideration of any priority allocations of earnings. For the diluted net income per limited partner unit calculation, the preferred units are assumed to be converted at the beginning of the period into common limited partner units on a one-for-one basis, and the distribution formula for available cash in our partnership agreement is recalculated, using the original available cash amount increased only for the preferred distributions which would not have been paid after conversion. 

When our financial statements are retrospectively adjusted after a dropdown transaction, the earnings of the acquired business, prior to the closing of the transaction, are allocated entirely to our General Partner and presented as net income (loss) attributable to Predecessors. The earnings per unit of our limited partners prior to the close of the transaction do not change as a result of a dropdown transaction. After the closing of a dropdown transaction, the earnings of the acquired business are allocated in accordance with our partnership agreement as previously described.

On March 22, 2019, we entered into a senior unsecured term loan facility with a borrowing capacity of $400 million that matures on March 20, 2020. At March 31, 2019, term loans totaling $250 million were outstanding under this facility. Borrowings under this facility bear interest at a floating rate based on either the Eurodollar rate or the reference rate, plus a margin determined by our credit ratings. Proceeds from term loans made under this facility were used for general partnership purposes, including repayment of amounts borrowed under our $750 million revolving credit facility. On April 1, 2019, we borrowed an additional $120 million under this term loan facility.

At March 31, 2019, $550 million of debt due within a year was classified as long-term debt based on our intent to refinance the obligation on a long-term basis and ability to do so under our revolving credit facility.

The fair value of our fixed-rate and floating-rate debt is estimated based on observable market prices and is classified in level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of our fixed-rate debt amounted to $2,847 million and $2,660 million at March 31, 2019, and December 31, 2018, respectively. The fair value of our floating-rate debt approximated carrying value of $340 million and $200 million at March 31, 2019, and December 31, 2018, respectively.


Note 10—Equity

ATM Programs
Our initial $250 million continuous offering of common units, or at-the-market (ATM) program, was completed in June 2018. At that time, we commenced issuing common units under our second $250 million ATM program. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, on a settlement date basis, we issued an aggregate of 622,032 common units under our ATM programs, generating net proceeds of $32 million. For the three months ended March 31, 2018, we issued an aggregate of 188,815 common units under our ATM programs, generating net proceeds of $9 million. Since inception in June 2016 through March 31, 2019, we issued an aggregate of 6,872,996 common units under our ATM programs, generating net proceeds of $352 million, after broker commissions of $4 million. The net proceeds from sales under the ATM programs are used for general partnership purposes, which may include debt repayment, acquisitions, capital expenditures and additions to working capital.


Note 11—Contingencies

From time to time, lawsuits involving a variety of claims that arise in the ordinary course of business are filed against us. We also may be required to remove or mitigate the effects on the environment of the placement, storage, disposal or release of certain chemical, mineral and petroleum substances at various sites. We regularly assess the need for accounting recognition or disclosure of these contingencies. In the case of all known contingencies (other than those related to income taxes), we accrue a liability when the loss is probable and the amount is reasonably estimable. If a range of amounts can be reasonably estimated and no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other amount, then the minimum of the range is accrued. We do not reduce these liabilities for potential insurance or third-party recoveries. If applicable, we accrue receivables for probable insurance or other third-party recoveries. In the case of income-tax-related contingencies, we use a cumulative probability-weighted loss accrual in cases where sustaining a tax position is less than certain.

Based on currently available information, we believe it is remote that future costs related to known contingent liability exposures will exceed current accruals by an amount that would have a material adverse impact on our consolidated financial statements. As we learn new facts concerning contingencies, we reassess our position both with respect to accrued liabilities and other potential exposures. Estimates particularly sensitive to future changes include any contingent liabilities recorded for environmental remediation, tax and legal matters. Estimated future environmental remediation costs are subject to change due to such factors as the uncertain magnitude of cleanup costs, the unknown time and extent of such remedial actions that may be required, and the determination of our liability in proportion to that of other potentially responsible parties. Estimated future costs related to tax and legal matters are subject to change as events evolve and as additional information becomes available during the administrative and litigation processes.


Environmental
We are subject to federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations. We record accruals for contingent environmental liabilities based on management’s best estimates, using all information that is available at the time. We measure estimates and base liabilities on currently available facts, existing technology, and presently enacted laws and regulations, taking into account stakeholder and business considerations. When measuring environmental liabilities, we also consider our prior experience in remediation of contaminated sites, other companies’ cleanup experience, and data released by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency or other organizations. We consider unasserted claims in our determination of environmental liabilities, and we accrue them in the period they are both probable and reasonably estimable.

In the future, we may be involved in additional environmental assessments, cleanups and proceedings.

Legal Proceedings
Under our amended omnibus agreement, Phillips 66 provides certain services for our benefit, including legal support services, and we pay an operational and administrative support fee for these services. Phillips 66’s legal organization applies its knowledge, experience and professional judgment to the specific characteristics of our cases, employing a litigation management process to manage and monitor the legal proceedings against us. The process facilitates the early evaluation and quantification of potential exposures in individual cases and enables tracking of those cases that have been scheduled for trial and/or mediation. Based on professional judgment and experience in using these litigation management tools and available information about current developments in all our cases, Phillips 66’s legal organization regularly assesses the adequacy of current accruals and determines if adjustment of existing accruals, or establishment of new accruals, is required. As of September 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, and December 31, 2017,2018, we did not have any material accrued contingent liabilities associated with litigation matters.

Indemnification and Excluded Liabilities
Under our amended omnibus agreement and pursuant to the terms of various agreements under which we acquired assets from Phillips 66, Phillips 66 will indemnify us, or assume responsibility, for certain environmental liabilities, tax liabilities, litigation and any other liabilities attributable to the ownership or operation of the assets contributed to us and that arose prior to the effective date of each acquisition. These indemnifications and exclusions from liability have, in some cases, time limits dollar limits and deductibles. When Phillips 66 performs under any of these indemnifications or exclusions from liability, we recognize noncash expenses and associated noncash capital contributions from our General Partner, as these are considered liabilities paid for by a principal unitholder.

The restrictions on the cash received in February 2017, as a result of the retrospective adjustment for the Bakken Pipeline/MSLP Acquisition, were fully removed in the second quarter of 2017 when MSLP’s outstanding debt that contained lender restrictions on the use of cash was paid in full.


Note 13—Related Party Transactions

Commercial Agreements
We have entered into long-term, fee-based commercial agreements with Phillips 66 to provide transportation, terminaling, storage, stevedoring, fractionation, processing, and rail terminal services. Under these agreements, Phillips 66 commits to provide us with minimum transportation, throughput or storage volumes, or minimum monthly service fees. If Phillips 66 does not meet its minimum volume commitments, Phillips 66 pays us a deficiency payment based on the calculation described in the agreement.

Amended and Restated Operational Services Agreement
Under our amended and restated operational services agreement, we reimburse Phillips 66 for providing certain operational services to us in support of our pipelines, terminaling, processing, and storage facilities. These services include routine and emergency maintenance and repair services, routine operational activities, routine administrative services, construction and related services and such other services as we and Phillips 66 may mutually agree upon from time to time.


Amended Omnibus Agreement
The amended omnibus agreement addresses our payment of an operating and administrative support fee and our obligation to reimburse Phillips 66 for all other direct or allocated costs and expenses incurred by Phillips 66 in providing general and administrative services. Additionally, the omnibus agreement addresses Phillips 66’s indemnification to us and our indemnification to Phillips 66 for certain environmental and other liabilities. Further, it addresses the granting of a license from Phillips 66 to us with respect to the use of certain Phillips 66 trademarks.

Tax Sharing Agreement
Under our tax sharing agreement, we reimburse Phillips 66 for our share of state and local income and other taxes incurred by Phillips 66 due to our results of operations being included in a combined or consolidated tax return filed by Phillips 66. Any reimbursement is limited to the tax that we (and our subsidiaries) would have paid had we not been included in a combined group with Phillips 66. Phillips 66 may use its tax attributes to cause its combined or consolidated group to owe no tax; however, we would nevertheless reimburse Phillips 66 for the tax we would have owed, even though Phillips 66 had no cash expense for that period.

We pay Phillips 66 a monthly operational and administrative support fee under the terms of our amended omnibus agreement in the amount of $8 million. The operational and administrative support fee is for the provision of certain services, including: logistical services; asset oversight, such as operational management and supervision; corporate engineering services, including asset integrity and regulatory services; business development services; executive services; financial and administrative services (including treasury and accounting); information technology; legal services; corporate health, safety and environmental services; facility services; human resources services; procurement services; investor relations; tax matters; and public company reporting services. We also reimburse Phillips 66 for all other direct or allocated costs incurred on behalf of us, pursuant to the terms of our amended omnibus agreement. The classification of these charges between operating and maintenance expenses and general and administrative expenses is based on the functional nature of the services performed for our operations. Under our amended and restated operational services agreement, we reimburse Phillips 66 for the provision of certain operational services to us in support of our pipeline, rail rack, processing, terminaling, and storage facilities.operating assets. Additionally, we pay Phillips 66 for insurance services provided to us and recoveries under these policies are recorded as an offset to our expenses.

Equity Affiliate Guarantee
Dakota Access and ETCO areIn 2018, we guaranteed the payment of our portion of certain purchase obligations of Gray Oak. At March 31, 2019, our maximum potential amount of future payments to third parties to a $2.5 billion project financing transaction entered into in August 2016 to fund the construction of the Bakken Pipeline. In July 2017, as owners of Dakota Access and ETCO, Phillips 66 and its co-venturers each issued a guarantee intended to cover their pro rata shares of interest expense for rolling six-month periods after the calculation date.  In October 2017, as part of the Bakken Pipeline/MSLP Acquisition, Phillips 66 Partners substituted its guarantee for that of Phillips 66.  Each co-venturer’s guarantee has a maximum guarantee amount which changes over time. Our maximum exposure under the guarantee amounted to $17 million at September 30, 2018.


Note 14—New Accounting Standards

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842).” The new standard establishes a right-of-use (ROU) model that requires a lessee to record a ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months.  Leases will continuewas estimated to be classified as either financing or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement.  Similarly, lessors will$30 million. Payment would be required to classify leases as sales-type, financing or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of income recognition in the income statement.  Classification for both lessees and lessors will be basedif Gray Oak defaults on an assessment of whether risks and rewards, as well as substantive control have been transferred through a lease contract.  Public business entities should apply the guidance in ASU No. 2016-02 for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted. We plan to adopt ASU No. 2016-02 by recognizing a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings as of our adoption date of January 1, 2019. We are currently evaluating the provisions of ASU No. 2016-02 and assessing its impact on our consolidated financial statements. As part of our assessment to-date, we have formed an implementation team, selected a software package, and completed software design and configuration within a test environment. Furthermore, we continue to load our lease population into the software and test the software configuration, lease data and system reports.  We expect the adoption of ASU No. 2016-02 will materially gross up our consolidated balance sheet with the recognition of the ROU assets and operating lease liabilities.  The impact to our consolidated statements of income and cash flows is not expected to be material.  The new standard will also require additional disclosures for financing and operating leases.these obligations.

BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT AND EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW

Partnership Overview
We are a growth-oriented master limited partnership formed to own, operate, develop and acquire primarily fee-based midstream assets. Our operations consist of crude oil, refined petroleum products and natural gas liquids (NGL) pipelines and terminals, and other midstream assets. Our common units trade on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol PSXP.

Our operations consist of crude oil, refined petroleum products and NGL transportation, terminaling, processing terminaling and storage assets. We conduct our operations through both wholly owned and joint venture operations. The majority of our wholly owned assets are associated with, and are integral to the operation of, nine of Phillips 66’s owned or joint venture refineries.

We primarily generate revenue by providing fee-based transportation, terminaling, processing, terminaling, storage and NGL fractionation services to Phillips 66 and other customers. Our equity affiliates primarily generate revenue from transporting and terminaling NGL,crude oil, refined petroleum products and crude oil.NGL.

Basis of Presentation
We have acquired assets from Phillips 66 that were considered transfers of businesses between entities underOur common control. This required the transactions to be accounted for as if the transfers had occurred at the beginning of the transfer period, with prior periods retrospectively adjusted to furnish comparative information. Accordingly, the accompanying financial statements and related notes have been retrospectively adjusted to include the historical results and financial position of the acquired businesses prior to the effective date of each acquisition. We refer to these pre-acquisition operations as those of our “Predecessors.”

See the “Basis of Presentation” section of Note 1—Business and Basis of Presentation, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for additional informationunits trade on the content and comparability of our historical financial statements.New York Stock Exchange under the symbol PSXP.

How We Evaluate Our Operations
Our management uses a variety of financial and operating metrics to analyze our performance, including: (1) volumes handled (including pipeline throughput, terminaling throughput and storage volumes);handled; (2) operating and maintenance expenses; (3) net income (loss) before net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA); (4) adjusted EBITDA; and (5) distributable cash flow.


Volumes Handled
The amount of revenuesrevenue we generate primarily depends on the volumes of crude oil, refined petroleum products and NGL that we handle in our pipeline, terminal, rail rack, processing, storage and NGL fractionator systems. In addition, our equity affiliates generate revenuesrevenue from transporting and terminaling NGL, crude oil, and refined petroleum products.products and NGL. These volumes are primarily affected by the supply of, and demand for, NGL, crude oil, and refined petroleum products and NGL in the markets served directly or indirectly by our assets, as well as the operational status of the refineries served by our assets. Phillips 66 has committed to minimum throughput volumes under many of our commercial agreements.

Operating and Maintenance Expenses
Our management seeks to maximize the profitability of our operations by effectively managing operating and maintenance expenses. These expenses primarily consist of labor expenses (including contractor services), utility costs, and repair and maintenance expenses. Operating and maintenance expenses generally remain relatively stable across broad ranges of throughput volumes but can fluctuate from period to period depending on the mix of activities,

particularly maintenance activities, performed during the period. Although we seek to manage our maintenance expenditures on our facilities to avoid significant variability in our quarterly cash flows, we balance this approach with our high standards of safety and environmental stewardship, such that critical maintenance is regularly performed.

Our operating and maintenance expenses are also affected by volumetric gains/losses resulting from variances in meter readings and other measurement methods, as well as volume fluctuations due to pressure and temperature changes. Under certain commercial agreements with Phillips 66, the value of any NGL, crude oil, or refined petroleum product and NGL volumetric gains and losses are determined by reference to the monthly average reference price for the applicable commodity. Any gains and gains/losses under these provisions decrease or increase, respectively, our operating and maintenance expenses in the period in which they are realized. These contractual volumetric gain/loss provisions could increase variability in our operating and maintenance expenses.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow
We define EBITDA as net income (loss) plus net interest expense, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization attributable to both the Partnership and our Predecessors.amortization.

Adjusted EBITDA is the EBITDA, directly attributable to the Partnership after deducting the EBITDA attributable to our Predecessors, further adjusted for:
The proportional share of equity affiliates’ net interest expense, income taxes and depreciation and amortization.
Transaction costs associated with acquisitions.
Certain other noncash items, including expenses indemnified by Phillips 66.
Distributable cash flow is defined as adjusted EBITDA less (i) the difference between equity affiliate distributions andless than proportional EBITDA, (ii) maintenance capital expenditures, (iii) net interest expense, (iv) income taxes paid and (v) preferred unit distributions; plus adjustments for deferred revenue impacts.

EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, and distributable cash flow are not presentations made in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP). EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow are non-GAAP supplemental financial measures that management believes external users of our consolidated financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies, may find useful to assess:
Our operating performance as compared to other publicly traded partnerships in the midstream energy industry, without regard to historical cost basis or, in the case of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA, financing methods.
The ability of our business to generate sufficient cash to support our decision to make distributions to our unitholders.
Our ability to incur and service debt and fund capital expenditures.
The viability of acquisitions and other capital expenditure projects and the returns on investment of various investment opportunities.

The GAAP performance measure most directly comparable to EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA is net income. The GAAP liquidity measure most directly comparable to EBITDA and distributable cash flow is net cash provided by operating activities. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered alternatives to GAAP net income or net cash provided by operating activities. They have important limitations as analytical tools because they exclude some items that affect net income and net cash provided by operating activities. Additionally, because EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, and distributable cash flow may be defined differently by other companies in our industry, our definition of these non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing their utility.

Business Environment
Since we do not own any of the NGL, crude oil, and refined petroleum products and NGL we handle and do not engage in the trading of NGL, crude oil, and refined petroleum products and NGL, we have limited direct exposure to risks associated with fluctuating commodity prices, although these risks indirectly influence our activities and results of operations over the long term.

Our throughput volumes primarily depend on the volume of crude oil processed and refined petroleum products produced at Phillips 66’s owned or operated refineries with which our assets are integrated, which in turnintegrated. These volumes are primarily dependent on Phillips 66’s refining margins and maintenance schedules. Refining margins depend on the costprice of crude oil or other feedstocks and the price of refined petroleum products. These prices are affected by numerous factors beyond our or Phillips 66’s control, including the domestic and global supply of and demand for crude oil and refined petroleum products. Throughput volumes of our equity affiliates primarily depend on upstream drilling activities, refinery performance and product supply and demand.

While we believe we have substantially mitigated our indirect exposure to commodity price fluctuations through the minimum volume commitments in our commercial agreements with Phillips 66 during the respective terms of those agreements, our ability to execute our growth strategy in our areas of operation will depend, in part, on the availability of attractively priced crude oil in the areas served by our crude oil pipelines and rail racks, demand for refined petroleum products in the markets served by our refined petroleum product pipelines and terminals, and the general demand for midstream services, including NGL transportation and fractionation.

Statement of Income Analysis

Operating revenues increased $32$46 million, or 14 percent, and $95 million, or 14 percent,18%, in the thirdfirst quarter and nine-month period of 2018, respectively.2019. The increases wereincrease was primarily due to the recognition of previously deferred revenues associated with fees charged to Phillips 66 related to additional revenues from the acquisition ofturnaround activity at Merey Sweeny L.P. (MSLP) in 2017,LLC (Merey Sweeny), and higher pipeline volumes and tariffs.rates on wholly owned assets.

Equity in earnings of affiliates increased $52 million and $169$21 million in the thirdfirst quarter and nine-month period of 2018, respectively.2019. The increases wereincrease was primarily attributable to higher earnings from Dakota Access, LLC (Dakota Access) and Energy Transfer Crude Oil Company, LLC (together,(ETCO), together referred to as the Bakken Pipeline), which began operations in June 2017,Pipeline, Sand Hills Pipeline, LLC (Sand Hills) and Phillips 66 Partners TerminalSouthern Hills Pipeline, LLC (Southern Hills), primarily due to improved volumes. Additionally,These higher earnings were offset by a one-time benefitdecrease in earnings from the enactment of the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act in December 2017 at Explorer Pipeline Company contributed to the increase for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018.

Other Income decreased $9 million in the nine-month period of 2018. The decrease was primarily due to the receipt of tax-related contractual make-whole payments in the first quarter of 2017, associated with the transfer of a co-venturer’s interests in Sand Hills and DCP Southern Hills Pipeline, LLC to DCP Midstream, LP.lower volumes.


Operating and maintenance expenses increased by $27$42 million, or 11 percent,43%, in the nine-month periodfirst quarter of 2018.2019. The increase was primarily due to operating expenses associated with the acquisition of MSLP in 2017.turnaround activity at Merey Sweeny.

Interest and debt expense increased $4 million, or 17 percent, and $15 million, or 21 percent in the third quarter and nine-month period of 2018, respectively, primarily due to higher average debt principal balances as a result of the issuance of $650 million in aggregate principal amount of senior notes in October 2017.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY
Significant Sources of Capital
Our sources of liquidity include cash generated from operations, borrowings from related parties and under our revolving credit facility, and issuances of additional debt and equity securities. We believe that cash generated from these sources will be sufficient to meet our short-term working capital requirements, long-term capital expenditure requirements and our quarterly cash distributions.

Operating Activities
We generated $652$205 million in cash from operations during the first ninethree months of 2018,2019, an improvement over cash from operations of $486$171 million for the corresponding period of 2017.2018. The improvement was primarily driven by higher operating revenues and distributions from equity affiliates, partially offset by higher operating and maintenance expenses.

ATM Programs
Our initial $250 million continuous offering of common units, or at-the-market (ATM) program, was completed in June 2018. At that time, we commenced issuing common units under our second $250 million ATM program. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, on a settlement date basis, we had issued an aggregate of 898,313 and 2,239,247622,032 common units under our ATM programs, generating net proceeds of $47 million and $114 million, respectively.$32 million. For the three months ended September 30, 2017,March 31, 2018, we did not issue any common units under our ATM program. For the nine months ended, September 30, 2017, on a settlement date basis, we had issued an aggregate of 3,323,576188,815 common units under our ATM programs, generating net proceeds of $171$9 million. Since inception in June 2016 through September 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, we had issued an aggregate of 5,958,1156,872,996 common units under our ATM programs, generating net proceeds of $306$352 million, after broker commissions of $3$4 million. The net proceeds from sales under the ATM programs are used for general partnership purposes, which may include debt repayment, acquisitions, capital expenditures and additions to working capital.

Revolving Credit Facility
At September 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, and December 31, 2017,2018, we had no borrowingsan aggregate of $15 million and $125 million, respectively, borrowed and outstanding under our $750 million revolving credit facility.

Term Loan Facility
On March 22, 2019, we entered into a senior unsecured term loan facility with a borrowing capacity of $400 million that matures on March 20, 2020. At March 31, 2019, term loans totaling $250 million were outstanding under this facility. Borrowings under this facility bear interest at a floating rate based on either the Eurodollar rate or the reference rate, plus a margin determined by our credit ratings. Proceeds from term loans made under this facility were used for general partnership purposes, including repayment of amounts borrowed under our $750 million revolving credit facility.

On April 1, 2019, we borrowed an additional $120 million under this term loan facility.

Transfers of Equity Interests
In December 2018, a third party exercised an option to acquire a 35% interest in Gray Oak Holdings LLC (Holdings LLC), a consolidated subsidiary. This transfer did not qualify as a sale under GAAP because of certain restrictions placed on the acquirer. The contributions received by Holdings LLC from the third party to cover capital calls from Gray Oak Pipeline, LLC (Gray Oak) are presented as a long-term obligation on our consolidated balance sheet and financing cash inflows on our consolidated statement of cash flows until construction of the Gray Oak Pipeline is completed and the restrictions expire. During the first three months of 2019, the third party contributed an aggregate of $341 million into Holdings LLC, which Holdings LLC used to fund its portion of Gray Oak’s cash calls.

In February 2019, Holdings LLC sold a 10% ownership interest in Gray Oak to a third party that exercised a purchase option for proceeds of $81 million. The proceeds received from this sale are presented as an investing cash inflow on our consolidated statement of cash flows.

See Note 6—Equity Investments and Loans, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for additional information regarding these transactions.


Shelf Registration
We have a universal shelf registration statement on file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under which we, as a well-known seasoned issuer, have the ability to issue and sell an indeterminate amount of common units representing limited partner interests, preferred units representing limited partner interests, and debt securities.


Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
In March 2019, a wholly owned subsidiary of Dakota Access LLC (Dakota Access) and Energy Transfer Crude Oil Company, LLC (ETCO) are partiesclosed on an offering of $2,500 million aggregate principal amount of unsecured senior notes.  The net proceeds from the issuance of these notes were used to a $2.5 billion project financing transaction entered into in August 2016. In July 2017, as ownersrepay amounts outstanding under existing credit facilities of Dakota Access and ETCO.  Dakota Access and ETCO Phillips 66 and its co-venturers each issued a guarantee intended to cover their pro rata shares of interest expense for rolling six-month periods after the calculation date.  In October 2017, as parthave guaranteed repayment of the Bakken Pipeline/MSLP Acquisition, Phillips 66 Partners substituted its guarantee fornotes.  In addition, we and our co-venturers provided a Contingent Equity Contribution Undertaking (CECU) in conjunction with the notes offering.  Under the CECU, if Dakota Access receives an unfavorable court ruling related to certain disputed construction permits and Dakota Access determines that an equity contribution trigger event has occurred, the venturers may be severally required to make proportionate equity contributions to Dakota Access and ETCO up to an aggregate maximum of Phillips 66.  Each co-venturer’s guarantee has aapproximately $2,525 million. Our share of the maximum guaranteepotential equity contributions under the CECU is approximately $631 million.

In 2018, we guaranteed the payment of our portion of certain purchase obligations of Gray Oak. At March 31, 2019, our maximum potential amount which changes over time. Our maximum exposureof future payments to third parties under the guarantee amountedwas estimated to $17 million at September 30, 2018.be $30 million. Payment would be required if Gray Oak defaults on these obligations.


Capital Requirements

Capital Expenditures and Investments
Our operations can beare capital intensive requiringand require investments to expand, upgrade, maintain or enhance existing operations and to meet environmental and operational requirements of our wholly owned and joint venture entities. Our capital requirements consist of maintenance and expansion capital expenditures, as well as contributions to our joint ventures. 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 to maintain existing system volumes and related cash flows. In contrast, expansionExpansion capital expenditures are those made to expand and upgrade our systems and facilities and to construct or acquire new systems or facilities to grow our business, including contributions to joint ventures that are using the contributed funds for such purposes. In contrast, 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 to maintain existing system volumes and related cash flows.

Our capital expenditures and investments represent the total spending for our capital requirements. Our adjusted capital spending is a non-GAAP financial measure that demonstrates our net share of capital spending, and reflects an adjustment for the portion of consolidated capital spending funded by certain of our Gray Oak joint venture partners from our sale or transfer of equity interests to them. Additionally, the disaggregation of adjusted capital spending between expansion and maintenance is not a distinction recognized under GAAP. We disaggregate adjusted capital spending because our partnership agreement requires that we treat expansion and maintenance capital differently for certain surplus determinations. Further, we generally fund expansion capital spending with both operating and financing cash flows and fund maintenance capital spending with operating cash flows.

Our capital expenditures and investments for the first ninethree months of 20182019 were $445 million, primarily associated with the following activities:

Contributions to Bayou BridgeGray Oak to continue progress construction of the pipeline, which will provide crude oil transportation from the Permian and Eagle Ford to destinations in Corpus Christi, Texas, and the Sweeny, Texas, area, including the Phillips 66 Sweeny Refinery. Due to cost pressures from increased steel costs, escalating labor rates, and higher right-of-way costs, the projected total cost of the Gray Oak project has been increased to approximately $2.7 billion on its pipeline segment from Lake Charles, Louisiana,a 100% basis.  As a result, we now expect our 2019 adjusted capital spending will be in the range of $700 million to St. James, Louisiana.

Contributions to Sand Hills to increase capacity on its NGL pipeline system.$750 million.

Construction ofactivities related to a new isomerization unit at the Phillips 66 Lake Charles Refinery.

ContributionsConstruction activities related to Gray Oak to begin construction of the pipeline to transport crude oil from the Permian Basin and Eagle Ford to destinations in the Corpus Christi and Freeport markets on the Texas Gulf Coast.

Increasingincreasing storage capacity at Clemens Caverns.

Contributions to South Texas Gateway TerminalBayou Bridge Pipeline, LLC (Bayou Bridge) to begin constructioncompletethe pipeline segment from Lake Charles, Louisiana to St. James, Louisiana.

Construction activities related to increasing capacity on the marine terminal that will connectSweeny to the Gray Oak Pipeline in Corpus Christi, Texas.Pasadena refined petroleum products pipeline.

Spending associated with other return, reliability and maintenance projects at MSLP.projects.

Various upgradesRelated Party Loan
On March 29, 2019, we and replacementour co-venturers executed an agreement to loan Gray Oak up to a maximum of assets.

In April 2018, the Board of Directors of our General Partner approved an increase in our capital expenditures and investments budget for the year ending December 31, 2018, from $595$1,230 million to $750 million. We expect our 2019 capital budget to be approximately $1.2 billion, as we continue to execute our organic growth plans.


We are constructingfinance construction of the Gray Oak Pipeline, which will provide crude oil transportation from the Permian Basin and Eagle Ford to destinations in Corpus Christi and Freeport markets on the Texas Gulf Coast, including the Phillips 66 Sweeny Refinery.Pipeline. The planned capacity of the pipeline has been expanded to 900,000 barrels per day (BPD). The pipelineamount loaned by each venturer is expected to be in serviceproportionate to its effective ownership interest. The maximum amount to be loaned by the endus is $520 million. Loans under this agreement are due on March 31, 2022, with early repayment permitted. We expect any amounts outstanding under this agreement to be repaid upon completion of project-level financing.On April 1, 2019, with total cost of approximately $2.2 billion on a 100 percent basis. We currently have a 75 percent ownership interest in the pipeline project,we and third parties have options to acquire up to a 32.75 percent interest by year end. If all options are exercised, we would own 42.25 percent.

In Corpus Christi, Texas, theour co-venturers loaned Gray Oak Pipeline will connect to the new South Texas Gateway Terminala total of $125 million under development by Buckeye Partners, L.P. The marine terminal will have an initial storage capacitythis agreement, of 3.4 million barrels and is expected to begin operations by the end of 2019. We own a 25 percent interest in the terminal.which our share was $53 million.

Cash Distributions
On OctoberApril 17, 2018,2019, the Board of Directors of our General Partner declared a quarterly cash distribution of $0.792$0.845 per common unit which, combined with distributions to our General Partner, and excluding distributions to holders of our preferred units, resulted in a total distribution of $174 million attributable to the first quarter of 2019. This distribution is payable on November 13, 2018,May 14, 2019, to unitholders of record as of October 31, 2018. The Board also approved the quarterly distribution to our preferred unitholders, to be paid in cash on November 13, 2018, to preferred unitholders of record as of October 31, 2018.  Total cash distributions to be paid on November 13, 2018, to all unitholders and our General Partner (including its incentive distribution rights (IDRs)) will be $169 million.April 30, 2019.


Cash distributions are made to our General Partner in respect of its general partner interest and its ownership of all IDRs, which entitle our General Partner to receive increasing percentages, up to 50 percent,50%, of quarterly cash distributions in excess of $0.244375 per unit. Accordingly, based on the per-unit distribution declared on OctoberApril 17, 2018,2019, our General Partner will receive 38 percent40% of the third-quarter 2018first-quarter 2019 cash distribution, excluding preferred unit distributions, in respect of its general partner interest and its ownership of all IDRs.

The holders of our preferred units are entitled to receive cumulative quarterly distributions equal to $0.678375 per preferred unit. Preferred unitholders received $10$9 million of distributions in the thirdfirst quarter of 20182019 that were attributable to the secondfourth quarter of 2018.

Debt Repayment
During the three months ended September 30, 2018, we repaid a tranche of tax-exempt bonds with a principal amount of $25 million upon maturity.

Contingencies
From time to time, lawsuits involving a variety of claims that arise in the ordinary course of business are filed against us. We also may be required to remove or mitigate the effects on the environment of the placement, storage, disposal or release of certain chemical, mineral and petroleum substances at various sites. We regularly assess the need for accounting recognition or disclosure of these contingencies. In the case of all known contingencies (other than those related to income taxes), we accrue a liability when the loss is probable and the amount is reasonably estimable. If a range of amounts can be reasonably estimated and no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other amount, then the minimum of the range is accrued. We do not reduce these liabilities for potential insurance or third-party recoveries. If applicable, we accrue receivables for probable insurance or other third-party recoveries. In the case of income-tax-related contingencies, we use a cumulative probability-weighted loss accrual in cases where sustaining a tax position is less than certain.

Based on currently available information, we believe it is remote that future costs related to known contingent liability exposures will exceed current accruals by an amount that would have a material adverse impact on our consolidated financial statements. As we learn new facts concerning contingencies, we reassess our position both with respect to accrued liabilities and other potential exposures. Estimates particularly sensitive to future changes include any contingent liabilities recorded for environmental remediation, tax and legal matters. Estimated future environmental remediation costs are subject to change due to such factors as the uncertain magnitude of cleanup costs, the unknown time and extent of such remedial actions that may be required, and the determination of our liability in proportion to that of other potentially responsible parties. Estimated future costs related to tax and legal matters are subject to change as events evolve and as additional information becomes available during the administrative and litigation processes.


Regulatory Matters
Our interstate common carrier crude oil and refined petroleum products pipeline operations are subject to rate regulation by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission under the Interstate Commerce Act and Energy Policy Act of 1992, and certain of our pipeline systems providing intrastate service are subject to rate regulation by applicable state authorities under their respective laws and regulations. Our pipeline, rail rack and terminal operations are also subject to safety regulations adopted by the Department of Transportation, as well as to state regulations.

Legal and Tax Matters
Under our amended omnibus agreement, Phillips 66 provides certain services for our benefit, including legal and tax support services, and we pay an operational and administrative support fee for these services. Phillips 66’s legal and tax organizations apply their knowledge, experience and professional judgment to the specific characteristics of our cases and uncertain tax positions. Phillips 66’s legal organization employs a litigation management process to manage and monitor the legal proceedings against us. The process facilitates the early evaluation and quantification of potential exposures in individual cases and enables tracking of those cases that have been scheduled for trial and/or mediation. Based on professional judgment and experience in using these litigation management tools and available information about current developments in all our cases, Phillips 66’s legal organization regularly assesses the adequacy of current accruals and recommends if adjustment of existing accruals, or establishment of new accruals, is required. As of September 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, and December 31, 2017,2018, we did not have any material accrued contingent liabilities associated with litigation matters.


Environmental
We are subject to extensive federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations. These requirements, which frequently change, regulate the discharge of materials into the environment or otherwise relate to protection of the environment. Compliance with these laws and regulations may require us to remediate environmental damage from any discharge of petroleum or chemical substances from our facilities or require us to install additional pollution control equipment at or on our facilities. Our failure to comply with these or any other environmental or safety-related regulations could result in the assessment of administrative, civil, or criminal penalties, the imposition of investigatory and remedial liabilities, and the issuance of governmental orders that may subject us to additional operational constraints. Future expenditures may be required to comply with the Federal Clean Air Act and other federal, state and local requirements in respect of our various sites, including our pipelines and storage assets. The impact of legislative and regulatory developments, if enacted or adopted, could result in increased compliance costs and additional operating restrictions on our business, each of which could have an adverse impact on our financial position, results of operations and liquidity.

As with all costs, if these expenditures are not ultimately reflectedrecovered in the tariffs and other fees we receive for our services, our operating results will be adversely affected. We believe that substantially all similarly situated parties and holders of comparable assets must comply with similar environmental laws and regulations. However, the specific impact on each may vary depending on a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the age and location of its operating facilities.

We accrue for environmental remediation activities when the responsibility to remediate is probable and the amount of associated costs can be reasonably estimated. As environmental remediation matters proceed toward ultimate resolution or as additional remediation obligations arise, charges in excess of those previously accrued may be required. New or expanded environmental requirements, which could increase our environmental costs, may arise in the future. We believe we are in substantial compliance with all legal obligations regarding the environment and have established the environmental accruals that are currently required; however, it is not possible to predict all of the ultimate costs of compliance, including remediation costs that may be incurred and penalties that may be imposed, because not all of the costs are fixed or presently determinable (even under existing legislation) and the costs may be affected by future legislation or regulations.

Paradis Pipeline Station Incident
On February 9, 2017, a fire occurred at the Paradis Pipeline Station on the River Parish NGL System. There was one Phillips 66 employee fatality and three contractors were injured. The three contractors filed lawsuits, which we are in the process of defending. All regulatory agency investigations have been completed, except one outstanding item with the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality. We do not currently expect claims related to this incident, individually or in the aggregate, to have a material impact on our results of operations.


Indemnification and Excluded Liabilities
Under our amended omnibus agreement and pursuant to the terms of various agreements under which we acquired assets from Phillips 66, Phillips 66 will indemnify us, or assume responsibility, for certain environmental liabilities, tax liabilities, litigation and any other liabilities attributable to the ownership or operation of the assets contributed to us and that arose prior to the effective date of each acquisition. These indemnifications and exclusions from liability have, in some cases, time limits dollar limits and deductibles. When Phillips 66 performs under any of these indemnifications or exclusions from liability, we recognize noncash expenses and associated noncash capital contributions from our General Partner, as these are considered liabilities paid for by a principal unitholder.


NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842).” The new standard establishes a right-of-use (ROU) model that requires a lessee to record a ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months.  Leases will continue to be classified as either financing or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement.  Similarly, lessors will be required to classify leases as sales-type, financing or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of income recognition in the income statement.  Classification for both lessees and lessors will be based on an assessment of whether risks and rewards, as well as substantive control have been transferred through a lease contract.  Public business entities should apply the guidance in ASU No. 2016-02 for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted. We plan to adopt ASU No. 2016-02 by recognizing a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings as of our adoption date of January 1, 2019. We are currently evaluating the provisions of ASU No. 2016-02 and assessing its impact on our consolidated financial statements. As part of our assessment to-date, we have formed an implementation team, selected a software package, and completed software design and configuration within a test environment. Furthermore, we continue to load our lease population into the software and test the software configuration, lease data and system reports.  We expect the adoption of ASU No. 2016-02 will materially gross up our consolidated balance sheet with the recognition of the ROU assets and operating lease liabilities.  The impact to our consolidated statements of income and cash flows is not expected to be material.  The new standard will also require additional disclosures for financing and operating leases.
