Notes to Consolidated Financial StatementsPhillips 66 Partners LP
 
Note 1—Description of the 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.

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) transportation, terminaling, processing 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, 9 of Phillips 66’s owned or joint venture refineries. Our operations consist of 1 reportable segment.

We primarily generate revenue by providing fee-based transportation, terminaling, processing, storage and fractionation services to Phillips 66 and other customers. Our equity affiliates primarily generate revenue from transporting and terminaling crude oil, refined petroleum products and NGL. Since we do not own any of the crude oil, refined petroleum products and NGL we handle and do not engage in the trading of crude oil, 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.

On August 1, 2019, we closed on the transactions contemplated by the Partnership Interests Restructuring Agreement, dated July 24, 2019, entered into with our General Partner. Pursuant to this agreement, all the outstanding incentive distribution rights (IDRs) held by our General Partner were eliminated and its approximately 2% general partner interest in us was converted into a non-economic general partner interest; both in exchange for an aggregate 101 million common units issued to Phillips 66 PDI. See Note 7—Net Income Per Limited Partner Unit for more information on how these transactions impact our earnings per unit calculations, and Note 10—Equity, for additional information on the impact to our equity accounts.


Note 2—Interim Financial Information

The unaudited interim financial information presented in the financial statements included in this report is prepared 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 20182019 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019March 31, 2020, 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, 2019, we early adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-13, “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,” which amends the impairment model to utilize an expected loss methodology in place of the incurred loss methodology for financial instruments and off-balance sheet credit exposures. The amendment requires entities to consider a broader range of information to estimate expected credit losses, which may result in earlier recognition of losses. The adoption of the ASU did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.


Effective January 1, 2019, we adopted ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)” using the modified retrospective transition method. 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. We 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 lease disclosures required by this ASU for lessees.

For arrangements where we are the lessor, effective for periods after January 1, 2019, we elected to account for lease and service elements of contracts 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 types of leases, we continued to separate the lease and service elements based on relative standalone prices and applied the new lease standard to the lease element and the revenue standard to the service element. We recorded a noncash cumulative effect adjustment of $1 million to decrease our opening equity balance as of January 1, 2019. See Note 4—Operating Revenues, for additional impacts of adopting this ASU, including new lease disclosures required for lessors.


Note 4—3—Operating Revenues

Operating revenues are primarily generated from long-term pipeline transportation, terminaling, storage, processing and fractionation lease 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.

The majority of our agreements with Phillips 66 are considered operating leases under GAAP. For reporting periods prior to our adoption ofThe lease’s classification as either an operating or financing lease requires judgment in assessing the new lease accounting standard, ASU No. 2016-02, as of January 1, 2019, thecontract’s lease and service elements includedcomponents and in these contracts were separated withdetermining the lease element recognized in accordance with the existing lease accounting standard and the service element recognized in accordance with the revenue accounting standard.

We have elected to account for lease and service elements of contracts 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 types of leases, we continuedcontinue to separate the lease and service elements based on relative standalone prices and applied the new lease standard to the lease element and the revenue standard to the service element. 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 three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, are not prepared on the same basis as the amounts reported for the three and nine months ended September 30, 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” linesline items on our consolidated balance sheet.

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 September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, 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:

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 ASU 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 be exercised, 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 September 30, 2019, the total operating lease ROU asset was $44 million.
Future minimum lease payments and recorded short- and long-term lease liabilities at September 30, 2019, for operating leases were:

Gray OakLiberty
In April 2018,February 2020, we entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement with Phillips 66 PDI to acquire its 100%50% interest in the Liberty Pipeline joint venture for $75 million. The purchase price reflected the reimbursement of project costs incurred by Phillips 66 prior to the effective date of the transaction. The transaction was funded through a combination of cash on hand and our revolving credit facility and closed on March 2, 2020. Liberty was formed to develop and construct the Liberty Pipeline system which, upon completion, will transport crude oil from the Rockies and Bakken production areas to Cushing, Oklahoma. On March 24, 2020, we and our co-venturer announced we are deferring the development and construction of the Liberty Pipeline system as a result of the current challenging business environment.
Liberty is considered a variable interest entity (VIE) 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-venturer jointly direct the activities of Liberty that most significantly impact economic performance. At March 31, 2020, our maximum exposure to loss was $103 million, which represented the aggregate book value of our equity investment in Liberty. At March 31, 2020, Phillips 66 had an outstanding guarantee of $113 million to vendors for our proportionate share of the payment of certain purchase obligations of Liberty.

Gray Oak Pipeline, LLC
We have a consolidated holding company that owns 65% of Gray Oak Pipeline, LLC. After deducting a co-venturer’s pending acquisition of a 35% interest in the consolidated holding company, we have an effective ownership interest of 42.25% in Gray Oak Holdings LLC (Holdings LLC), a limited liability company that, at that time, owned a 100% interest in Gray Oak.Pipeline, LLC. Gray Oak is developingPipeline, LLC was formed to develop and constructingconstruct the Gray Oak Pipeline which upon completion, will providetransports crude oil transportation from the Permian and Eagle Ford to Texas Gulf Coast destinations inthat include Corpus Christi Texas, and the Sweeny Texas, area, including the Phillips 66 Sweeny Refinery. The pipeline system is anticipatedRefinery, as well as access to begin initial service in the fourth quarter of 2019. We accounted for the acquisition of Holdings LLC as an acquisition of assets under common control accounting. Also inHouston market. On April 2018, a co-venturer acquired a 25% interest in Gray Oak, along with sufficient voting rights over key governance provisions such that we no longer could assert control over Gray Oak. As a result, we (through our consolidated subsidiary Holdings LLC) began using the equity method of accounting for our investment in Gray Oak at that time.

In December 2018, a third party exercised its option to acquire a 35% interest in Holdings LLC. Because Holdings LLC’s sole asset was its 75% ownership interest in Gray Oak, which is considered a financial asset, and because certain restrictions were placed on the third party’s ability to transfer or sell its interest in Holdings LLC during the construction of1, 2020, the Gray Oak Pipeline the legal salecommenced full operations from West Texas to Texas Gulf Coast destinations. The Eagle Ford segment of the pipeline commenced operations later in April. Accordingly, the co-venturer’s 35% interest did not qualify as a sale under GAAP. Rather, the third party’s cash contributions to Holdings LLC in 2019 to fund its share of previously incurred and future construction costs plus a premium to us are reflected as a long-term obligation in the “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 Pipelineholding company is fully completed, these restrictions expire, and the sale will be recognized under GAAP. We will continueexpected 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.in the second quarter. Also at that time, the premium paid by the co-venturer will be recharacterized from a long-term obligation to a gain in our consolidated statement of income. DuringFor the ninethree months ended September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, the third partyco-venturer contributed an aggregate of $341$23 million into Holdings LLC, which Holdings LLC usedto the holding company to fund its portion of Gray Oak’sOak Pipeline, LLC’s cash calls.

In 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 September 30, 2019, our effective ownership interest in the Gray Oak Pipeline, was 42.25%.

In June 2019, Gray Oak entered intoLLC has a third-party term loan facility with an initiala borrowing capacity of $1,230$1,379 million, which was increased in July 2019 to $1,317 million.inclusive of accrued interest. Borrowings under the facility are due on June 3, 2022. We and our co-venturers provided a guarantee through an equity contribution agreement requiring proportionate equity contributions to Gray Oak Pipeline, LLC up to the total outstanding loan amount.  Under the agreement, our maximum potential amount, of future obligations is $556 million, plus any additional accrued interest and associated fees, which would be required if the term loan facility is fully utilized and Gray Oak Pipeline, LLC defaults on certain of its obligations.obligations thereunder. At September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, the term loan facility was fully utilized by Gray Oak had borrowings of $904 million outstanding,Pipeline, LLC and our 42.25% proportionate exposure under the equity contribution agreement was $382$583 million.  The net proceeds from the term loan were used by Gray Oak for construction of the Gray Oak Pipeline and repayment of amounts borrowed under a related party loan agreement that we and our co-venturers executed in March 2019 and terminated upon the repayment by Gray Oak in June.  Our total related party loan to and repayment received from Gray Oak was $95 million.  

Gray Oak Pipeline, LLC is considered a variable interest entityVIE 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 Gray Oak Pipeline, LLC that most significantly impact economic performance. At September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, our maximum exposure to loss was $1,130$1,382 million, which represented our guarantee of the third-party term loan facility of $382$583 million and the aggregate book value of our equity method investment in Gray Oak Pipeline, LLC of $748$799 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 net proceeds from the issuance 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 in Dakota Access provided a Contingent Equity Contribution Undertaking (CECU) in conjunction with the notes offering.  Under the CECU, if Dakota Access receives an unfavorable court ruling in the litigation related to certain disputed construction permits and Dakota Access determines that an equity contribution trigger event has occurred, the venturersco-venturers may be severally required to make proportionate equity contributions to Dakota Access and ETCO up to an aggregate maximum of approximately $2,525 million. Our share of the maximum potential equity contributions under the CECU is approximately $631 million.million at March 31, 2020. In March 2020, the court in such litigation requested an Environmental Impact Statement from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and requested additional information to make a further decision regarding whether the

Dakota Access Pipeline should be shut down while the Environmental Impact Statement is being prepared. Currently, this ruling does not have any immediate impact on the operations of Dakota Access and ETCO.

Note 7—5—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 by the weighted-average number of common units outstanding for the period. Prior to August 1, 2019, we had more than one class of participating securities and used the two-class method to calculate net income per unit applicable to the limited partners. The classes of participating securities prior to August 1, 2019, included common units, general partner units and IDRs.incentive distribution rights (IDRs). Effective August 1, 2019, common units are the only class of participating security.securities. For the three and nine months ended September 30,March 31, 2020 and 2019, and 2018, our preferred units are potentially dilutive securities and were dilutive to net income per limited partner unit. See Note 10—Equity, for a discussion of the elimination of our General Partner’s IDRs and 2% economic interest effective August 1, 2019.

Net income earned by the Partnership is allocated between the classes of participating securities 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, if applicable.unitholders. To the extent net income exceeds or is less than cash distributions declared, 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.

2019 Senior Notes
On September 6, 2019, we closed on a public offering of $900 million aggregate principal amount of unsecured notes consisting of:

$300 million aggregate principal amount of 2.450% Senior Notes due December 15, 2024.

$600 million aggregate principal amount of 3.150% Senior Notes due December 15, 2029.

Interest on each series of senior notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on June 15At March 31, 2020, and December 15 of each year, commencing on June 15, 2020. Total proceeds received from the offering were $892 million, net of underwriting discounts and commissions. On September 13, 2019, we used a portion of the proceeds to repay the $400 million outstanding principal balance of the term loans due March 2020, and on October 15, 2019, we used a portion of the proceeds to repay the $300 million outstanding principal balance of our 2.646% Senior Notes due February 2020.

Revolving Credit Facility
On July 30, 2019, we amended and restated our revolving credit agreement. The agreement extended the termination date from October 3, 2021, to July 30, 2024. No other material amendments were made to the agreement, and the overall capacity remains at $750 million with an option to increase the overall capacity to $1 billion, subject to certain conditions.

As of September 30,31, 2019, 0 amount had been directly drawn under our $750 million revolving credit facility; however, $3 million and $1 million in letters of credit had been issued that were supported byunder this facility.

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, 2019, on a settlement date basis, we issued an aggregate of 1,635,669 and 2,470,037 common units under our ATM programs, respectively, generating net proceeds of $91 million and $133 million, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, we issued an aggregate of 898,313 and 2,239,247 common units under our ATM programs, respectively, generating net proceeds of $47 million and $114 million, respectively. Since inception in June 2016 through September 30, 2019, we issued an aggregate of 8,721,001 common units under our ATM programs, generating net proceeds of $452 million, after broker commissions of $5 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.

Restructuring Transaction
On August 1, 2019, we closed on the transactions contemplated by the Partnership Interests Restructuring Agreement, dated July 24, 2019, entered into with our General Partner. Pursuant to this agreement, all of the outstanding IDRs held by our General Partner were eliminated and its approximately 2% general partner interest in us was converted into a non-economic general partner interest; both in exchange for an aggregate of 101 million common units issued to Phillips 66 PDI. Because these transactions were between entities under common control, the common units issued to Phillips 66 PDI were assigned no value; rather, our General Partner’s historical negative equity balance of $1.4 billion as of August 1, 2019, was transferred to Phillips 66’s limited partner equity account.



Note 11—8—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, 2019,March 31, 2020, and December 31, 2018,2019, 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 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.

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) transportation, terminaling, processing 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 fractionation services to Phillips 66 and other customers. Our equity affiliates primarily generate revenue from transporting and terminaling crude oil, refined petroleum products and NGL.

On August 1, 2019, we closed on the transactions contemplated by the Partnership Interests Restructuring Agreement, dated July 24, 2019, entered into with our General Partner. Pursuant to this agreement, all of the outstanding incentive distribution rights (IDRs) held by our General Partner were eliminated and its approximately 2% general partner interest in us was converted into a non-economic general partner interest; both in exchange for an aggregate 101 million common units issued to Phillips 66 PDI.

Our common units trade on the 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; (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 revenue 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 fractionator systems. In addition, our equity affiliates generate revenue from transporting and terminaling crude oil, refined petroleum products and NGL. These volumes are primarily affected by the supply of, and demand for, crude oil, 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 crude oil, 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/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, depreciation and amortization.

Adjusted EBITDA is EBITDA, 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) equity affiliate distributions less than proportional EBITDA, (ii) maintenance capital expenditures, (iii) net interest expense, (iv) income taxes paid and (v) preferred unit distributions;distributions, plus adjustments for deferred revenue impacts.

EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, and distributable cash flow are not presentations made in accordance with 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 crude oil, refined petroleum products and NGL we handle and do not engage in the trading of crude oil, 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. These volumes are primarily dependent on Phillips 66’s refining margins and maintenance schedules. Refining margins depend on the price 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.

The global markets for crude oil and petroleum products were materially disrupted during the first quarter of 2020 by two significant events:

The outbreak of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) and its development into a pandemic resulted in significant economic disruption globally. Actions taken by governments to prevent the spread of the disease included severe travel and business restrictions, which resulted in substantial decreases in the demand for many refined petroleum products, particularly gasoline and jet fuel. This drop in demand led refiners to reduce crude oil processing rates and eventually to lower crude oil demand and prices.

The dispute over production levels between Russia and the members of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), including Saudi Arabia, resulted in an oversupply of crude oil, which exacerbated the decline in crude oil prices and eventually led to lower petroleum product prices as well.

We expect these events may result in reduced transportation and terminaling volumes in the near term.  In March 2020, we announced that we were reducing our planned capital spending in 2020, including deferring the Liberty Pipeline project and postponing a final investment decision on the ACE Pipeline.

OPEC has agreed to crude oil production cuts into 2022, but the near-term outlook for petroleum product demand remains highly uncertain, prices remain volatile, and margins and volumes remain challenged. The depth and duration of the economic consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic are currently unknown. However, the adverse economic effects on our customers, including Phillips 66, will likely be significant in the near term.

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 and a majority of our joint ventures during the respective terms of those agreements, our ability to execute our growth strategy 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 $60decreased $35 million, or 12%, in the nine-month periodfirst quarter of 2019.2020. The increasedecrease was attributable to the recognition of previously deferred revenues associated with fees charged to Phillips 66in the first quarter of 2019 related to turnaround activity at Merey Sweeny LLC (Merey Sweeny) in the first quarter of 2019, and, partially offset by higher volumes and rates on wholly owned assets.assets during the three-month period of 2020.

Equity in earnings of affiliates increased $21$17 million, or 18%, and increased $79 million, or 25%14%, in the thirdfirst quarter and nine-month period of 2019, respectively.2020. The increases in both periods wereincrease was attributable to higher earnings from Dakota Access, LLC (Dakota Access) and Energy Transfer Crude Oil Company, LLC (ETCO), together referred to as the BakkenBayou Bridge Pipeline, LLC, Gray Oak Pipeline, LLC and DCP Sand Hills Pipeline, LLC, (Sand Hills), and Bayou Bridge Pipeline, LLC (Bayou Bridge), primarily due to improved volumes. These higher volumes. In addition, the increase in the nine-month period of 2019 wasearnings were partially offset by a decrease in earnings from Explorer Pipeline CompanyPhillips 66 Partners Terminal due to a one-time benefit from U.S. tax reform in the first quarter of 2018.lower contractual rates.

Operating and maintenance expenses increaseddecreased by $49$51 million, or 18%37%, in the nine-month periodfirst quarter of 2019.2020. The increasedecrease was primarily due to turnaround activity at Merey Sweeny.Sweeny in 2019.


CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY
Significant Sources of Capital
Our sources of liquidity include cash generated from operations, distributions from our equity affiliates, borrowings from related parties and under our revolving credit facility, and issuances of additional debt and equity securities.securities, and funding from joint venture partners. 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 $757$274 million in cash from operations during the first ninethree months of 2019,2020, an improvement over cash from operations of $652$205 million for the corresponding period of 2018.2019. The improvement was primarily driven by higherlower deferred revenue impacts, lower operating revenues and maintenance expenses and higher distributions from equity affiliates.

Equity Affiliate Operating Distributions
Our operating cash flows are also impacted by distribution decisions made by our equity affiliates. During the first three months of 2020, cash from operations included distributions of $141 million from our equity affiliates, offsetcompared with $121 million during the same period of 2019. We cannot control the amount or timing of future dividends from equity affiliates; therefore, future dividend payments by higher operating expenses.these and other equity affiliates are not assured.

ATM Programs
Our initialWe have authorized an aggregate of $750 million under three $250 million continuous offeringofferings of common units, or at-the-market (ATM) program, was completedprograms. The first two programs concluded in June 2018. At that time, we commenced issuing common units under our second $250 million ATM program.2018 and December 2019, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, on a settlement date basis, we issued an aggregate of 1,635,669 and 2,470,037 common units under our ATM programs, respectively, generating net proceeds of $91 million and $133 million, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, we issued an aggregate of 898,313 and 2,239,247 common units under our ATM programs, respectively, generating net proceeds of $47 million and $114 million, respectively. Since inception in June 2016 through September 30, 2019, we issued an aggregate of 8,721,00140,570 common units under our ATM programs, generating net proceeds of $452$2 million. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, we issued an aggregate of 622,032 common units under our ATM programs, generating net proceeds of $32 million. Since inception in June 2016 through March 31, 2020, we issued an aggregate of 9,487,055 common units under our ATM programs, and generated net proceeds of $494 million, after broker commissions of $5 million and other costs of $3 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
On July 30, 2019, we amendedAt March 31, 2020, and restated our revolving credit agreement. The agreement extended the termination date from October 3, 2021 to July 30, 2024. No other material amendments were made to the agreement, and the overall capacity remains at $750 million with an option to increase the overall capacity to $1 billion, subject to certain conditions.

As of September 30,December 31, 2019, no amount had been directly drawn under our $750 million revolving credit facility; however, $3 million and $1 million in letters of credit had been issued that were supported byunder this facility.facility at March 31, 2020, and December 31, 2019, respectively.

2019 Senior Notes
On September 6, 2019, we closed on a public offering of $900 million aggregate principal amount of unsecured notes consisting of:

$300 million aggregate principal amount of 2.450% Senior Notes due December 15, 2024.

$600 million aggregate principal amount of 3.150% Senior Notes due December 15, 2029.

Interest on each series of senior notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year, commencing on June 15, 2020. Total proceeds received from the offering were $892 million, net of underwriting discounts and commissions. On September 13, 2019, we used a portion of the proceeds to repay the $400 million outstanding principal balance of the term loans due March 2020, and on October 15, 2019, we used a portion of the proceeds to repay the $300 million outstanding principal balance of our 2.646% Senior Notes due February 2020.

TransfersTransfer of Equity Interests
In December 2018,We have a third party exercised an option to acquireconsolidated holding company that owns 65% of Gray Oak Pipeline, LLC. After deducting a co-venturer’s pending acquisition of a 35% interest in the consolidated holding company, we have an effective ownership interest of 42.25% 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 fromPipeline, LLC. Gray Oak Pipeline, LLC (Gray Oak) are presentedwas formed to develop and construct the Gray Oak Pipeline which transports crude oil from the Permian and Eagle Ford to Texas Gulf Coast destinations that include Corpus Christi and the Sweeny area, including the Phillips 66 Sweeny Refinery, as well as access to the Houston market. On April 1, 2020, the Gray Oak Pipeline commenced full operations from West Texas to Texas Gulf Coast destinations. The Eagle Ford segment of the pipeline commenced operations later in April. Accordingly, the co-venturer’s 35% interest in the holding company is expected to be recharacterized from a long-term obligation to a noncontrolling interest on our consolidated balance sheet and financing cash inflows onin the second quarter. Also at that time, the premium paid by the co-venturer will be recharacterized from a long-term obligation to a gain in our consolidated statement of cash flows until construction ofincome. For the Gray Oak Pipeline is completed and the restrictions expire. During the first three months of 2019,ended March 31, 2020, the third partyco-venturer contributed an aggregate of $341$23 million into Holdings LLC, which Holdings LLC usedto the holding company to fund its portion of Gray Oak’sOak Pipeline, LLC’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—4—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 closed 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 repay amounts outstanding under existing credit facilities of Dakota Access and ETCO. Dakota Access and ETCO have guaranteed repayment of the notes.  In addition, we and our co-venturers in Dakota Access provided a Contingent Equity Contribution Undertaking (CECU) in conjunction with the notes offering.  Under the CECU, if Dakota Access receives an unfavorable court ruling in the litigation related to certain disputed construction permits and Dakota Access determines that an equity contribution trigger event has occurred, the venturersco-venturers may be severally required to make proportionate equity contributions to Dakota Access and ETCO up to an aggregate maximum of approximately $2,525 million. Our share of the maximum potential equity contributions under the CECU is approximately $631 million.million at March 31, 2020. In March 2020, the court in such litigation requested an Environmental Impact Statement from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and requested additional information to make a further decision regarding whether the Dakota Access Pipeline should be shut down while the Environmental Impact Statement is being prepared. Currently, this ruling does not have any immediate impact on the operations of Dakota Access and ETCO.

In June 2019, Gray Oak entered intoPipeline, LLC has a third-party term loan facility with an initiala borrowing capacity of $1,230$1,379 million, which was increased in July 2019 to $1,317 million.inclusive of accrued interest. Borrowings under the facility are due on June 3, 2022. We and our co-venturers provided a guarantee through an equity contribution agreement requiring proportionate equity contributions to Gray Oak Pipeline, LLC up to the total outstanding loan amount.  Under the agreement, our maximum potential amount, of future obligations is $556 million, plus any additional accrued interest and associated fees, which would be required if the term loan facility is fully utilized and Gray Oak Pipeline, LLC defaults on certain of its obligations.obligations thereunder. At September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, the term loan facility was fully utilized by Gray Oak had borrowings of $904 million outstanding,Pipeline, LLC and our 42.25% proportionate exposure under the equity contribution agreement was $382$583 million.  The net proceeds from the term loan were used by Gray Oak for construction of the Gray Oak Pipeline and repayment of amounts borrowed under a related party loan agreement that we and our co-venturers executed in March 2019 and terminated upon the repayment by Gray Oak in June.  Our total related party loan to and repayment received from Gray Oak was $95 million.  


Capital Requirements

Liberty Acquisition
In February 2020, we entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement with Phillips 66 PDI to acquire its 50% interest in the Liberty Pipeline joint venture for $75 million. The purchase price reflected the reimbursement of project costs incurred by Phillips 66 prior to the effective date of the transaction. The transaction was funded through a combination of cash on hand and our revolving credit facility and closed on March 2, 2020. Liberty Pipeline LLC was formed to develop and construct the Liberty Pipeline system which, upon completion, will transport crude oil from the Rockies and Bakken production areas to Cushing, Oklahoma. On March 24, 2020, we and our co-venturer announced we are deferring the development and construction of the Liberty Pipeline system as a result of the current challenging business environment.

Capital Expenditures and Investments
Our operations are capital intensive and 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. ExpansionMaintenance 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, expansion 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. 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.

2020 Budget Update
In late March 2020, we announced an update to the 2020 capital budget that was included in our 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K. In response to the current challenging business environment, we reduced our 2020 capital spending plans from $962 million to $932 million. Capital spending net of cash capital contributions from certain joint venture partners (adjusted capital spending) is expected to be $863 million. The development and construction of the Liberty Pipeline system has been deferred and we are postponing our final investment decision regarding the ACE Pipeline. We will continue to fund Liberty Pipeline’s cash calls in 2020, primarily for its committed purchases from vendors.


Cash Distributions
On October 16, 2019,April 21, 2020, the Board of Directors of our General Partner declared a quarterly cash distribution of $0.865$0.875 per common unit which, excluding distributions to holders of our preferred units, will result in a total distribution of $197$199 million attributable to the thirdfirst quarter of 2019.2020. This distribution is payable on November 13, 2019,May 14, 2020, to unitholders of record as of October 31, 2019.May 1, 2020.

The holders of our preferred units are entitled to receive cumulative quarterly distributions equal to $0.678375 per preferred unit. Preferred unitholders will receive $9$10 million of distributions attributable to the thirdfirst quarter of 2019.2020. This distribution is payable on November 13, 2019,May 14, 2020, to preferred unitholders of record as of OctoberMay 1, 2020.

Debt Repayment
On April 1, 2020, we repaid at maturity a $25 million tranche of tax-exempt bonds that was included in short-term debt at March 31, 2019.2020.



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, 2019,March 31, 2020, and December 31, 2018,2019, 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 recovered 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.

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 and deductibles. When Phillips 66 performs under any of these indemnifications or exclusions from liability, we recognize noncashnon-cash expenses and associated noncashnon-cash capital contributions from our General Partner, as these are considered liabilities paid for by a principal unitholder.



CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This report includes forward-looking statements. You can identify our forward-looking statements by the words “anticipate,” “estimate,” “believe,” “budget,” “continue,” “could,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “seek,” “should,” “will,” “would,” “expect,” “objective,” “projection,” “forecast,” “goal,” “guidance,” “outlook,” “effort,” “target” and similar expressions.

We based the forward-looking statements on our current expectations, estimates and projections about us and the industries in which we operate in general. We caution you these statements are not guarantees of future performance as they involve assumptions that, while made in good faith, may prove to be incorrect, and involve risks and uncertainties we cannot predict. In addition, we based many of these forward-looking statements on assumptions about future events that may prove to be inaccurate. Accordingly, our actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what we have expressed or forecast in the forward-looking statements. Any differences could result from a variety of factors, including the following:

The continued ability of Phillips 66 to satisfy its obligations under our commercial and other agreements.
Reductions in the volume of crude oil, refined petroleum products and NGL we transport, fractionate, process, terminal and store.
Changes to the tariff rates with respect to volumes that we transport through our regulated assets, which rates are subject to review and possible adjustment by federal and state regulators.
Changes in revenue we realize under the loss allowance provisions of our regulated tariffs resulting from changes in underlying commodity prices.
Fluctuations in the prices and demand for crude oil, refined petroleum products and NGL.
Changes in global economic conditions and the effects of a global economic downturn on the business of Phillips 66 and the business of its suppliers, customers, business partners and credit lenders.
Potential liabilities associated with the risks and operational hazards inherent in transporting, fractionating, processing, terminaling and storing crude oil, refined petroleum products and NGL.
Curtailment of operations due to severe weather disruption or natural disasters; riots, strikes, lockouts or other industrial disturbances; or failure of information technology systems due to various causes, including unauthorized access or attack.
Accidents or other unscheduled shutdowns affecting our pipelines, processing, fractionating, terminaling, and storage facilities or equipment, or those of our suppliers or customers.
Our inability to obtain or maintain permits in a timely manner, if at all, including those necessary for capital projects, or the revocation or modification of existing permits.
Our inability to comply with government regulations or make capital expenditures required to maintain compliance.
The failure to complete construction of announced and future capital projects in a timely manner and any cost overruns associated with such projects.
Our ability to successfully execute growth strategies, whether through organic growth or acquisitions.
The operation, financing and distribution decisions of our joint ventures.
Costs or liabilities associated with federal, state, and local laws and regulations relating to environmental protection and safety, including spills, releases and pipeline integrity.
Costs associated with compliance with evolving environmental laws and regulations on climate change.
Costs associated with compliance with safety regulations, including pipeline integrity management program testing and related repairs.
Changes in the cost or availability of third-party vessels, pipelines, railcars and other means of delivering and transporting crude oil, refined petroleum products and NGL.
General domestic and international economic and political developments including: armed hostilities; expropriation of assets; changes in governmental policies relating to crude oil, refined petroleum products or NGL pricing, regulation or taxation; actions taken by the members of OPEC affecting the production and pricing of crude oil; and other political, economic or diplomatic developments, including those caused by public health issues and outbreaks of diseases.
Direct or indirect effects on our business resulting from actual or threatened terrorist incidents or acts of war.
Our ability to comply with the terms of our credit facility, indebtedness and other financing arrangements, which, if accelerated, we may not be able to repay.

Our ability to incur additional indebtedness or our ability to obtain financing on terms that we deem acceptable, including the refinancing of our current obligations; higher interest rates and costs of financing would increase our expenses.
Changes in tax, environmental and other laws and regulations.
The factors generally described in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our 20182019 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 22, 2019.21, 2020 and in Item 1A. of Part II of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Item 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Commodity Price Risk
Our commodity price risk and interest rate risk at September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, did not differ materially from that disclosed under Item 7A of our 20182019 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Interest Rate Risk
During the third quarter of 2019, we repaid our $400 million term loans due March 2020. On September 6, 2019, we issued $900 million in aggregate principal amount of senior notes with varying maturity dates. Fixed-rate debt, such as our senior notes, exposes us to changes in the fair value of our debt due to changes in market interest rates. The following table presents the principal cash flow and associated interest rates of these notes by their expected maturity dates, as of September 30, 2019.  We estimated the fair value using quoted market prices.

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Act, in the quarterly period ended September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Under our amended omnibus agreement, and pursuant to the terms of various agreements under which we acquired assets from Phillips 66, Phillips 66 indemnifies us or assumes responsibility for certain liabilities relating to litigation and environmental matters attributable to the ownership or operation of our assets prior to their contribution to us from Phillips 66. See Note 11—Contingencies,10—Related Party Transactions, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for additional information.

This section identifies reportable legal proceedings attributable to the ownership or operation of our assets, including those involving governmental authorities under federal, state and local laws regulating the discharge of materials into the environment, for this reporting period. There are no new matters to report.


Item 1A.  RISK FACTORS

There were no material changes fromThe following risk factor should be read in conjunction with the risk factors disclosedincluded in Item 1A of our 20182019 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The outbreak of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) has materially adversely affected, and may continue to materially adversely affect, general economic, financial and business conditions, and could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows and those of our customers, suppliers and other counterparties.

The outbreak of COVID-19 is negatively impacting worldwide economic and commercial activity and financial markets. Responses of governmental authorities, companies and individuals to prevent the spread of COVID-19, including travel restrictions, business and school closures, and stay at home orders have significantly reduced global economic activity. The reduction in economic activity has resulted in substantial decreases in the demand for many refined petroleum products, which has led refiners to reduce crude oil processing rates and also to lower crude oil demand and prices. These events have negatively impacted the volumes of products we transport and terminal.

The extent to which COVID-19 will continue to negatively impact our business and operations, as well as the business and operations of our customers, including Phillips 66, will depend on the severity, location and duration of the effects and spread of COVID-19, related impacts on overall economic activity, including the actions undertaken by national, regional and local governments and health officials to contain the virus or treat its effects, and how quickly and to what extent economic conditions improve and normal business and operating conditions resume.

To the extent COVID-19 adversely affects our business, financial condition, results of operations and liquidity, or the business, financial condition, results of operation and liquidity of our customers, including Phillips 66, counterparties or suppliers, it may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described under “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.
