NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Organization and Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

Organization

We are a growth-oriented master limited partnership focused on the midstream segment of the oil and gas industry in the Gulf Coast area of the United States. We conduct our operations through our operating subsidiaries and joint ventures. We manage our businesses through three divisions:

 

   

Pipeline transportation of crude oil and carbon dioxide (or CO2);

 

   

Refinery services involving processing of high sulfur (or “sour”) gas streams for refineries to remove the sulfur, and sale of the related by-product, sodium hydrosulfide (or NaHS, commonly pronounced nash);

 

   

Supply and logistics services, which includes terminaling, blending, storing, marketing, and transporting crude oil, petroleum products and CO2.

In February 2010, new investors, together with members of our executive management team, acquired our general partner. At that time, our general partner owned all our 2% general partner interest and all of our incentive distribution rights, or IDRs. In respect of its general partner interest and IDRs, our general partner was entitled to over 50% of any increased distributions we would pay in respect of our outstanding equity.

On December 28, 2010, we permanently eliminated our IDRs and converted our 2% general partner interest into a non-economic interest, which we refer to as our IDR Restructuring. We issued Class A Units, Class B Units and Waiver Units to the former stakeholders of our general partner in exchange for the elimination of our IDRs. See additional information on our outstanding equity in Note 6.

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

The accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include Genesis Energy, L.P. and its operating subsidiaries, Genesis Crude Oil, L.P. and Genesis NEJD Holdings, LLC, and their subsidiaries, and Genesis Energy, LLC, our general partner. The inclusion of Genesis Energy, LLC in our Consolidated Financial Statements was effective December 28, 2010 due to our IDR Restructuring.

Our results of operations for the interim periods shown in this report are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the fiscal year. The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by us without audit pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they reflect all adjustments (which consist solely of normal recurring adjustments) that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial results for interim periods. Certain information and notes normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. However, we believe that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading when read in conjunction with the information contained in the periodic reports we file with the SEC pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Except per unit amounts, or as noted within the context of each footnote disclosure, the dollar amounts presented in the tabular data within these footnote disclosures are stated in thousands of dollars.

2. Inventories

The major components of inventories were as follows:

 

     June 30, 2011      December 31, 2010  

Crude oil

   $ 15,219       $ 6,128   

Petroleum products

     59,460         38,588   

Caustic soda

     6,869         6,309   

NaHS

     7,245         4,387   

Other

     27         16   
  

 

 

    

 

 

 

Total inventories

   $ 88,820       $ 55,428   
  

 

 

    

 

 

 

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. The costs of inventories exceeded market values by approximately $0.4 million at June 30, 2011, and we reduced the value of inventory in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for this difference. At December 31, 2010, market values of our inventories exceeded recorded costs.

3. Equity Investees

We are accounting for our 50% ownership in Cameron Highway Oil Pipeline Company (“Cameron Highway”) under the equity method of accounting.

The following table reflects summarized income statement information for Cameron Highway for only the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 as we did not acquire our 50% equity interest in Cameron Highway until November 23, 2010.

The following table reflects our estimated amortization expense for each of the five subsequent fiscal years:

 

Year Ended December 31,

   Amortization Expense to be Recorded

Remainder of 2011

   $14,498

2012

   $21,914

2013

   $14,312

2014

   $12,049

2015

   $10,247

In the first quarter of 2011, we adjusted the useful lives of our supply and logistics trade names. As a result of this change in the amortization period of our assets, operating income and net income attributable to us for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 decreased $1.4 million, or $0.02 per common unit and $2.9 million, or $0.04 per common unit, respectively. The impact of this change on net income for the remainder of 2011 and 2012 is expected to total $2.8 million and $2.3 million, respectively, and not be material in future periods. The table of estimated future amortization expense above reflects this change.

Goodwill

The carrying amount of goodwill by business segment at both June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 was $301.9 million to refinery services and $23.1 million to supply and logistics.

5. Debt

As of June 30, 2011, we had $406 million borrowed under our senior secured credit facility, with $70.4 million of that amount designated as a loan under the inventory sublimit. Additionally, we had $5.9 million in letters of credit outstanding. Due to the revolving nature of loans under our credit facility, additional borrowings and periodic repayments and re-borrowings may be made until the maturity date of June 30, 2015. The total amount available for borrowings at June 30, 2011 was $113.1 million under our credit facility.

We believe the amounts included in our balance sheet for debt outstanding under our senior secured credit facility approximate fair value as interest rates reflect current market rates. At June 30, 2011, $250 million of senior unsecured notes were outstanding, which had a fair value of approximately $248.8 million.

We believe we were in compliance with the financial covenants contained in our credit facility and indenture as of June 30, 2011.

6. Partners’ Capital, Distributions and Net Income Per Common Unit

Partners’ Capital

At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, our outstanding equity consisted of 64,575,065 Class A Units and 39,997 Class B Units. Additionally 6,949,004 Waiver Units were outstanding. On July 20, 2011, we issued 7,350,000 Class A Units in a public offering. We received proceeds, net of underwriting discount, of $185 million from the offering.

7. Business Segment Information

We define Segment Margin as revenues less product costs, operating expenses (excluding non-cash charges, such as depreciation and amortization), and segment general and administrative expenses, plus our equity in distributable cash generated by our equity investees. Our segment margin definition also excludes the non-cash effects of our stock appreciation rights compensation plan, and includes the non-income portion of payments received under direct financing leases. Our chief operating decision maker (our Chief Executive Officer) evaluates segment performance based on a variety of measures including Segment Margin, segment volumes, where relevant, and maintenance capital investment.

In the first quarter of 2011, we reorganized our operating segments as a result of a change in the way our Chief Executive Officer evaluates the performance of operations, develops strategy and allocates capital resources. The results of our CO2 marketing activities and processing of syngas through a joint venture, formerly reported in the Industrial Gases Segment, are now included in our Supply and Logistics Segment. The change in operating segments had no impact on our reportable units for goodwill purposes. The historical segment disclosures have been recast to be consistent with the current presentation. This recast also included combining revenues and costs and expenses for our industrial gases activities shown separately in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations in the 2010 period with revenues and costs and expenses for our supply and logistics activities.

11. Fair-Value Measurements

The following table sets forth by level within the fair value hierarchy our financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2011. As required by fair value accounting guidance, financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value requires judgment and may affect the placement of assets and liabilities within the fair value hierarchy levels.

 

     Fair Value at June 30, 2011      Fair Value at December 31, 2010

Level 1

Included in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy as commodity derivative contracts are exchange-traded futures and exchange-traded option contracts. The fair value of these exchange-traded derivative contracts is based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets and is, therefore, included in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

Level 2

Level 2 fair values are based on pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets (as reflected in Level 1 fair values) and are either directly or indirectly observable as of the measurement date. Level 2 fair values include instruments that are valued using financial models or other appropriate valuation methodologies. Such financial models are primarily industry-standard models that consider various assumptions, including quoted forward prices for commodities, the time value of money, volatility factors, current market and contractual prices for the underlying instruments and other relevant economic measures. Substantially all of these assumptions are: (i) observable in the marketplace throughout the full term of the instrument; (ii) can be derived from observable data; or (iii) are validated by inputs other than quoted prices (e.g., interest rate and yield curves at commonly quoted intervals). Our Level 2 fair values consist of forward commodity derivative instruments. The fair values of these derivative instruments are based on observable price quotes for similar products and locations.

Level 3

At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, we had no Level 3 fair value measurements.

At June 30, 2010, our interest rate swaps were included within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. These swaps were settled in July 2010 in connection with the acquisition of the 51% of DG Marine we did not own and the termination of DG Marine’s credit facility. The following table provides a reconciliation of changes in fair value of the beginning and ending balances for our derivatives measured at fair value using inputs classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy:

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

See Note 10 for additional information on our derivative instruments.

We generally apply fair value techniques on a non-recurring basis associated with (1) valuing potential impairment loss related to goodwill, (2) valuing asset retirement obligations, and (3) valuing potential impairment loss related to long-lived assets.

12. Contingencies

We are subject to various environmental laws and regulations. Policies and procedures are in place to monitor compliance and to detect and address any material releases of crude oil from our pipelines or other facilities; however, no assurance can be made that such environmental releases may not substantially affect our business.

We are subject to lawsuits in the normal course of business, as well as examinations by tax and other regulatory authorities. We do not expect such matters presently pending to have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

13. Subsequent Event – Acquisition of Barges and Pushboats from Florida Marine

In the third quarter of 2011, we expect to complete a transaction to acquire, for $141 million, the black oil transportation fleet of Florida Marine Transporters, Inc. and its affiliates (FMT). The fleet consists of 30 barges (7 of which will be sub-leased under similar terms of an existing FMT lease) and 14 push/tow boats which transport heavy refined products, principally serving refineries and storage terminals along the Gulf Coast, Intracoastal Canal and western river systems of the United States. We expect to fund that acquisition with the proceeds of a public offering of our common units. On July 20, 2011, we issued 7,350,000 Class A Common Units, and received $185 million in proceeds, net of underwriting discounts. The remaining net proceeds of the offering were used for other purposes, including the repayment of borrowings outstanding under our credit facility.

Forward Looking Statements

In the discussions that follow, we will focus on two measures that we use to manage the business and to review the results of our operations. Those two measures are Segment Margin and Available Cash before Reserves. We define segment margin as revenues less product costs, operating expenses (excluding non-cash charges, such as depreciation and amortization), and segment general and administrative expenses, plus our equity in distributable cash generated by our equity investees. In addition, our segment margin definition excludes the non-cash effects of our stock appreciation rights plan, and includes the non-income portion of payments received under direct financing leases. Our chief operating decision maker (our Chief Executive Officer) evaluates segment performance based on a variety of measures including Segment Margin, segment volumes where relevant, and maintenance capital investment. A reconciliation of Segment Margin to income before income taxes is included in our segment disclosures in Note 7 to our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Available Cash before Reserves (a non-GAAP measure) is net income as adjusted for specific items, the most significant of which are the addition of non-cash expenses (such as depreciation), the substitution of distributable cash generated by our equity investees in lieu of our equity income attributable to our equity investees, the elimination of gains and losses on asset sales (except those from the sale of surplus assets) and unrealized gains and losses on derivative transactions not designated as hedges for accounting purposes, the elimination of expenses related to acquiring assets that provide new sources of cash flows, the elimination of earnings of DG Marine in excess of distributable cash until July 29, 2010 when DG Marine’s credit facility was repaid, and the subtraction of maintenance capital expenditures, which are expenditures that are necessary to sustain existing (but not to provide new sources of) cash flows. For additional information on Available Cash before Reserves and a reconciliation of this measure to its most directly comparable GAAP measure of cash provided by operating activities, see “Liquidity and Capital Resources - Non-GAAP Reconciliation” below.

Overview

In the second quarter of 2011, we reported net income attributable to the partnership of $17.4 million, or $0.27 per common unit. We generated $31.9 million of Available Cash before Reserves. In August 2011, we will distribute $0.415 per common unit to our unitholders with respect to the second quarter. During the second quarter of 2011, cash provided by operating activities was $11.5 million.

Segment margin increased by $9.8 million, or 26%, in the second quarter of 2011, as compared to the second quarter of 2010. This increase resulted from improvements in segment margin of approximately 48%, 17% and 15% in our pipeline transportation, refinery services and supply and logistics segments, respectively. The contribution to segment margin from our investment in Cameron Highway, combined with increased throughput on our onshore pipelines, were the primary factors increasing pipeline segment margin. Our refinery services segment margin increased as a result of several factors, including operating efficiencies realized at several of our sour gas processing facilities as well as our favorable management of the acquisition and utilization of caustic soda in our operations. Our supply and logistics segment, which now includes the results of our CO2 marketing and other industrial gases activities, benefited from market conditions that increased the differentials between grades of crude oil and increased demand for heavy-end petroleum products.

Table of Contents

In the third quarter of 2011 we expect to complete the previously announced transaction to acquire, for $141 million, the black oil barge transportation fleet of Florida Marine Transporters, Inc. and its affiliates (FMT). That fleet is primarily comprised of 30 barges (7 of which will be sub-leased under similar terms of an existing FMT lease) and 14 push/tow boats which transport heavy refined petroleum products, principally serving refineries and storage terminals along the Gulf Coast, Intracoastal Canal and western river systems of the United States, including the Red, Ouachita and Mississippi Rivers. The barges, which have an average age of approximately three years, are double-hulled and fully compliant with the requirements of the Oil Pollution Act. The boats are modern and efficient, 13 of which have been in service three years or less.

This acquisition will complement and further integrate certain of our existing operations, including our DG Marine inland barge business (comprised of 20 barges and 10 push/tow boats), our storage and blending terminals and our crude oil pipeline systems. All of the expanded fleet of 50 barges are capable of transporting heavy refined products, including asphalt, and with minor modifications, half of the barges will be capable of transporting crude oil as well. We funded this transaction with funds raised from a sale of 7.4 million Class A Common Units that closed on July 20, 2011. See additional discussion under Liquidity and Capital Resources – Capital Resources/Sources of Cash below.

On July 13, 2011, we increased our quarterly distribution rate to our common unitholders for the twenty-fourth consecutive quarter. In August of 2011, we will pay a distribution of $0.4150 per unit attributable to our second quarter of 2011, which represents an approximate 10.7% increase from our distribution of $0.375 per unit for the second quarter of 2010. During the second quarter of 2011, we paid a distribution of $0.4075 per unit related to the first quarter of 2011.

Segment Reporting Change

In the first quarter of 2011, we reorganized our operating segments as a result of a change in the way our Chief Executive Officer, who is our chief operating decision maker, evaluates the performance of operations, develops strategy and allocates capital resources. The results of our CO2 marketing activities and processing of syngas through a joint venture, formerly reported in the Industrial Gases Segment, are now included in our Supply and Logistics Segment. Our disclosures related to prior periods have been recast to reflect our reorganized segments.

We have reconciled Available Cash before Reserves (a non-GAAP measure) to cash flow from operating activities (the most comparable GAAP measure) for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 in “Liquidity and Capital Resources – Non-GAAP Reconciliation” below. For the three months ended June 30, 2011, cash flows provided by operating activities were $11.5 million and for the three months ended June 30, 2010, cash flows utilized in operating activities were $2.6 million.

Results of Operations

Revenues, Costs and Expenses and Net Income

Our revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2011 increased $306 million, or 67% from the second quarter of 2010. Additionally, our costs and expenses increased $299 million, or 68% between the two periods. The majority of our revenues and costs are derived from the purchase and sale of crude oil and petroleum products. The significant increase in our revenues and costs between the two second quarter periods is primarily attributable to the fluctuations in the market prices for crude oil and petroleum products. In the second quarter of 2011, closing prices for West Texas Intermediate crude oil on the New York Mercantile Exchange averaged $102.56 per barrel, as compared to $78.04 per barrel in the second quarter of 2010 – an increase of 31.4%.

Net income (attributable to us) increased $3.1 million, or 22%, between the second quarter of 2010 and the same period in 2011. The significant factors affecting net income were improved operating results by our business segments as compared to the second quarter of 2010 including our equity method investees, offset partially by an increase in interest costs and general and administrative expenses. A more detailed discussion of our segment results and other costs is included below.

Table of Contents

Our revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2011 increased $530 million, or 57% from the six months ended June 30, 2010. Additionally, our costs and expenses increased $519 million, or 58% between the two periods. This increase in our revenues and costs between the two periods is primarily due to fluctuations in the market prices for crude oil and petroleum products. In the first half of 2011, average closing prices for West Texas Intermediate crude oil on the New York Mercantile Exchange averaged $98.33 per barrel, as compared to $78.37 per barrel in the first half of 2010 – an increase of 25.5%. Net income (attributable to us) increased $3.3, or 15%, between the first half of 2010 and the same period in 2011, with the majority of the increase attributable to improved segment results, partially offset by increased general and administrative expenses and increases in depreciation and amortization expense as discussed below.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2011 Compared with Three Months Ended June 30, 2010

Pipeline Segment Margin for the second quarter of 2011 increased $5.5 million. The significant components of this change were as follows:

 

   

Our share of the available cash before reserves generated by Cameron Highway was $5.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011. We acquired our 50% interest in Cameron Highway in November 2010. Revenue generating volumes on Cameron Highway were approximately 108,964 barrels per day, a 36% decrease from the average daily rate for the first quarter of 2011. Planned improvements to offshore field facilities by producers with fields connected to Cameron Highway were performed in the second quarter of 2011 and are expected to continue in the third quarter of 2011. Although these field improvements by the producers are expected to increase volumes on Cameron Highway in the future, reductions in volumes while the improvements are made will likely reduce our share of available cash before reserves from the joint venture during the third quarter.

 

   

Crude oil tariffs and revenues from direct financing leases increased $1.0 million. Volumes transported on our crude oil pipelines increased 19,084 barrels per day, with the increase in volumes attributable primarily to the Texas System where demand by the refiners connected to our system increased. Volumes on the Jay System increased 2,255 barrels per day, while volumes on the Mississippi System, where the incremental tariff rate is only $0.25 per barrel, decreased by 2,360 barrels a day, primarily as a result of fluctuations in tertiary recovery activities by producers.

 

   

Pipeline operating costs, excluding non-cash charges increased approximately $1.1 million primarily due to increased insurance costs (related to our investment in Cameron Highway) and maintenance expenditures.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2011 Compared with Six Months Ended June 30, 2010

For the six month periods, Pipeline Segment Margin increased $12.8 million. The primary factors in this increase were as follows:

 

   

Our share of the available cash before reserves generated by Cameron Highway was $11.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011.

 

   

Crude oil tariffs and revenues from direct financing leases increased $1.8 million. Volumes transported on our crude oil pipelines increased 21,773 barrels per day, with the increase in volumes attributable primarily to the Texas System. Volumes on the Jay system increased 1,310 barrels per day, while volumes on the Mississippi System decreased 2,906 barrels per day. The fluctuations in volumes on our pipeline systems for the six months ended 2011 as compared to the six months ended 2010 are due to similar explanations as provided in the quarter to quarter discussion.

Refinery services Segment Margin for the second quarter of 2011 was $18.9 million, an increase of $2.8 million, or 17%, from the comparative period in 2010. The significant components of this fluctuation were as follows:

 

   

NaHS sales volumes decreased 5.8% between the second quarter periods. Difficulties in mining companies’ negotiations with their workforces led to a slowdown in mine activity and a decrease in our sales volumes to mining companies in the export market.

 

   

Revenues increased primarily as a function of the increase in the average index price for caustic soda. The pricing in our sales contracts for NaHS includes adjustments for fluctuations in commodity benchmarks, freight, labor, energy costs and government indexes. The frequency at which these adjustments are applied varies by contract, geographic region and supply point. Our raw material costs related to NaHS increased correspondingly to the rise in the average index price for caustic soda, although operating efficiencies at several of our sour gas processing facilities as well as our favorable management of the acquisition and utilization of caustic soda in our operations and our logistics management, as discussed below, helped offset these costs.

 

   

Caustic soda sales volumes increased 9.3%. Caustic soda is a key component in the provision of our sulfur-removal service, from which we receive the by-product NaHS. Consequently, we are a very large consumer of caustic soda. In addition, our economies of scale and logistics capabilities allow us to effectively purchase additional caustic soda for re-sale to third parties. Our ability to purchase caustic soda volumes is currently sufficient to meet the demands of our refinery services operations and third-party sales.

 

   

Index prices for caustic soda averaged approximately $340 per DST in the second quarter of 2010. Market prices of caustic soda increased to an average of approximately $495 per DST during the second quarter of 2011. Those price movements affect the revenues and costs related to our sulfur removal services as well as our caustic soda sales activities. However, changes in caustic soda prices do not materially affect Segment Margin attributable to our sulfur processing services because we

generally pass those costs through to our NaHS sales customers. Additionally, our bulk purchase and storage capabilities related to caustic soda allow us to mitigate the effects of changes in index prices for caustic on our operating costs.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2011 Compared with Six Months Ended June 30, 2010

 

   

An increase in NaHS sales volumes of 2.7% increased Segment Margin. The demand for base metals such as copper and molybdenum has increased over the prior period as the world economies, particularly outside of the United States and European Union, have improved over the prior period. Additionally the return of industrialization and urbanization in the world’s emerging economies has increased the demand for paper products and packaging materials. These trends have led to a noticeable increase in NaHS demand from some copper and molybdenum miners and from our pulp/paper customers primarily in North America.

 

   

An increase in caustic soda sales volumes of 12.2%. Caustic soda is a key component in the provision of our sulfur-removal service, from which we receive the by-product NaHS. Consequently, we are a very large consumer of caustic soda. In addition, our economies of scale and logistics capabilities allow us to effectively purchase caustic soda for re-sale to third parties. Our ability to purchase caustic soda volumes is currently sufficient to meet the demands of our refinery services operations and third-party sales.

 

   

Market prices of caustic soda increased to an average of $468 per DST during the first half of 2011 as compared to market prices of caustic soda of $304 per DST in the first half of 2010. The pricing in our sales contracts for NaHS include adjustments for fluctuations in commodity benchmarks, freight, labor, energy costs and government indexes. The frequency at which these adjustments are applied varies by contract, geographic region and supply point. However, as discussed above, these changes in caustic soda prices do not materially affect Segment Margin. Our raw material costs related to NaHS increased correspondingly to the rise in the average index price for caustic soda, although efficiencies gained from our bulk purchases, logistic and storage capabilities helped offset these costs.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2011 as Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2010

The average market prices of crude oil and petroleum products increased by more than $24 per barrel, or approximately 31.4%, between the two quarterly periods; however that price volatility had a limited impact on our Segment Margin. Segment Margin for our Supply and Logistics segment increased by $1.6 million.

The increase in segment margin resulted primarily from increased opportunities to acquire and re-sell additional volumes of heavy-end petroleum products as refining activity increased in the 2011 period in our operating area. The volumes we handled during the period increased by 34% as compared to the second quarter of 2010. Greater demand for fuel oil and other heavy-end petroleum products in countries outside the United States has helped sustain the price environment for the products we sell.

Table of Contents

In addition, favorable differentials between different grades of crude oil and petroleum products as well as changes we made in some of our existing crude oil and petroleum products commercial arrangements increased Segment Margin.

The increase in Segment Margin in the second quarter was partially offset by the effects of the Mississippi River flooding, which impaired our petroleum products marketing and marine transportation activities and resulted in some increased costs for idle time.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2011 Compared with Six Months Ended June 30, 2010

Segment margin for our Supply and Logistics segment increased $8.1 million between the six month periods. Average market prices of crude oil and petroleum products increased by approximately $20 per barrel, or approximately 25.5%, however, as previously discussed, price volatility has a limited impact on our Segment Margin.

Favorable quality differentials, primarily between grades of crude oil, as well as modifications to our existing crude oil and petroleum products commercial arrangements, were key factors resulting in increased Segment Margin.

Similar to the quarter-to-quarter comparison, Segment Margin for the six month period also increased due to greater availability of volumes of heavy-end petroleum products resulting from increased refinery utilization in our operating area. The volumes we handled during the first half of 2011 increased approximately 25% as compared to the first half of 2010 as higher foreign demand for fuel oil and other heavy-end petroleum products helped sustain the price environment for the products we sell.

As indicated above in the three-month 2011 period, the Mississippi River flooding during the second quarter impaired our petroleum products marketing and marine transportation activities and increased some of our costs.

Other Costs, Interest, and Income Taxes

General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses consisted of the following:

Routine general and administrative expenses were relatively consistent between the three and six month periods. Our bonus plan expenses increased $0.2 million and $0.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, related to a higher level of bonus accrual as a result of improvements in our operating results. An increase in activities evaluating potential business and growth opportunities resulted in an increase of approximately $1.5 million and $2.5 million, for the three and six month periods, respectively, for costs paid to third parties for their assistance in these activities.

Table of Contents

Depreciation and amortization expense. Depreciation and amortization expense increased $0.6 million and $1.1 million between the three and six month periods, respectively primarily as a result of an adjustment in the useful lives of certain of our intangible assets in the first quarter of 2011. See Note 4 to our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding this change.

Interest expense on our credit facility increased as our average debt balance increased $52.5 million between the quarterly periods and $50.4 million between the six-month periods. The average interest rate for borrowed funds increased approximately 1% over the same periods, from 2.2% to 3.2%. The increase in the outstanding balance under our credit facility is attributable primarily to acquisitions in the second half of 2010. Additionally, when we amended and extended our credit facility in June 2010, our average interest rate increased to reflect market conditions.

We also incurred interest expense, including amortization of notes issuance fees, of $5.2 million and $10.3 million during the quarter and first six months of 2011, respectively in connection with the $250 million of senior unsecured notes issued in November 2010 to partially finance our acquisition of a 50% equity interest in Cameron Highway.

Interest expense in the first half of 2010 was also affected by interest on the DG Marine credit facility. In the second half of 2010, we eliminated this facility with borrowings under our credit facility.

Income tax expense. A portion of our operations are owned by wholly-owned corporate subsidiaries that are taxable as corporations. As a result, a substantial portion of the income tax expense we record relates to the operations of those corporations, and will vary from period to period as a percentage of our income before taxes based on the percentage of our income or loss that is derived from those corporations. The balance of the income tax expense we record relates to state taxes imposed on our operations that are treated as income taxes under generally accepted accounting principles and foreign income taxes.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

General

As of June 30, 2011, we believe our balance sheet and liquidity position remained strong. We had $113.1 million of borrowing capacity available under our $525 million senior secured bank revolving credit facility. We anticipate that our future internally-generated funds and the funds available under our credit facility will allow us to meet our short-term capital needs.

We continue to pursue a growth strategy that requires significant capital.

In the third quarter of 2011, we expect to complete the previously-announced acquisition of the black oil barge transportation fleet of Florida Marine Transporters, Inc. and its affiliates for $141 million. That fleet is

 

-30-


Table of Contents

primarily comprised of 30 barges and 14 push boats which transport heavy refined petroleum products, principally serving refineries and storage terminals along the Gulf Coast, Intracoastal Canal and western river systems of the United States, including the Red, Ouachita and Mississippi Rivers.

On April 11, 2011, we announced plans to expand our crude oil infrastructure in Texas through the acquisition and refurbishment of three crude oil tanks with barge dock access, and to increase our refinery services operating footprint to provide services to a refinery in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

Capital Resources

Our ability to satisfy future capital needs will depend on our ability to raise substantial amounts of additional capital, including through equity and debt offerings (public and private) from time to time and other financing transactions, to utilize our credit facility and to implement our growth strategy successfully. No assurance can be made that we will be able to raise the necessary funds on satisfactory terms. If we are unable to raise the necessary funds, we may be required to defer our growth plans until such time as funds become available.

In July 2011, we issued 7,350,000 Class A common units at $26.30, providing total net proceeds, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses, of approximately $184.9 million. We will use $141 million of the proceeds from this offering to fund the purchase price and related transaction costs for our acquisition of the black oil barge transportation business of Florida Marine Transporters, Inc. and its affiliates. The remaining net proceeds of the offering were used for other purposes, including the repayment of borrowings outstanding under our credit facility.

Our credit facility is a $525 million senior secured revolving credit facility maturing on June 30, 2015. It includes an accordion feature whereby the total credit available can be increased up to $650 million for acquisitions or internal growth projects, with lender approval. Among other modifications, our credit facility also includes a $75 million inventory sublimit tranche. This inventory tranche is designed to allow us to more efficiently finance crude oil and petroleum products inventory in the normal course of our operations, by allowing us to exclude the amount of inventory loans from our total outstanding indebtedness for purposes of determining our applicable interest rate. Additionally, our restructured credit facility does not include a “borrowing base” limitation except with respect to our inventory loans. Twelve lenders participate in our credit facility, and we do not anticipate any of them being unable to satisfy their obligations under the credit facility.

Our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2011 includes total long-term debt of $656 million, consisting of $406 million outstanding under our credit facility and $250 million of senior unsecured notes due in 2018. Included in the $406 million outstanding under our credit facility is $70.4 million borrowed under the inventory sublimit tranche.

Cash Flows from Operations

We generally utilize the cash flows we generate from our operations to fund our working capital needs. Excess funds that are generated are used to repay borrowings from our credit facilities and to fund capital expenditures. Our operating cash flows can be impacted by changes in items of working capital, primarily variances in the timing of payment of accounts payable and accrued liabilities related to capital expenditures.

 

-31-


Table of Contents

We typically sell our crude oil in the same month in which we purchase it, and we do not rely on borrowings under our credit facility to pay for the crude oil. During such periods, our accounts receivable and accounts payable generally move in tandem as we make payments and receive payments for the purchase and sale of oil. In our petroleum products activities, we buy products and typically either move the products to one of our storage facilities for further blending or we sell the product within days of our purchase. The cash requirements for these activities can result in short term increases and decreases in our borrowings under our credit facility.

Net cash flows provided by our operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2011 were approximately $9.4 million. As discussed above, changes in the cash requirements related to payment for petroleum products or collection of receivables from the sale of inventory impact the cash utilized in operating activities. Additionally, changes in the market prices for crude oil and petroleum products can result in fluctuations in our operating cash flows between periods as the cost to acquire a barrel of oil or products will require more cash. At June 30, 2011, the cost of the inventory on our balance sheet increased by $33.4 million from December 31, 2010. Sales of inventory in late June that were collected in July 2011, combined with higher market prices, increased net accounts receivable at June 30, 2011 as compared to December 31, 2010.

Capital Expenditures and Distributions Paid to our Unitholders

We use cash primarily for our acquisition activities, internal growth projects and distributions we pay to our unitholders. We finance internal growth projects and distributions primarily with cash generated by our operations. Acquisition activities have historically been funded with borrowings under our credit facility, equity issuances and the issuance of senior unsecured notes.

Capital Expenditures, and Business and Asset Acquisitions

A summary of our expenditures for fixed assets and other asset acquisitions in the first half of 2011 and 2010 is as follows:

During 2011, we expect to expend approximately $3.0 million to $4.0 million for maintenance capital projects in progress or planned. Those expenditures are expected to include improvements in all of our businesses. In future years we expect to spend $4 million to $5 million per year on maintenance capital projects.

On April 11, 2011, we announced two projects to increase the services we provide to producers and refiners. We acquired three above-ground storage tanks, located in Texas City, Texas, representing aggregate capacity of approximately 230,000 barrels that we will refurbish and convert into crude-oil-capable tanks. We also acquired an existing barge dock at the same location, all approximately 1.5 miles from our existing Texas pipeline system. We also are constructing a truck station, tankage and possible pipeline interconnections at West Columbia,

Table of Contents

Texas, to be able to provide incremental transportation service for the Eagle Ford Shale and other Texas production through our pipeline system to refining markets in the greater Houston/Texas City area as well as markets accessible via barge from the new Texas City terminal. Once the refurbishment, tie-in and all interconnecting pipe is completed, estimated to be in the fourth quarter of 2011, we will be able to handle approximately 40,000 barrels per day of crude oil through the Texas City terminal. In connection with our activities in Texas, we are also constructing interconnecting pipeline and other required facilities to provide transportation services for all of the crude oil production from the Hastings field, near Alvin, Texas, which is in the very early stages of a CO2 tertiary recovery program.

We also entered into an agreement to install a new sour gas processing facility at Holly Refining and Marketing’s refinery complex located in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The new facility, expected to be completed no later than the fourth quarter of 2012, will remove a portion of the sulfur from the crude oil refined at Holly’s complex and result in additional capacity of 24,000 tons per year of NaHS.

We anticipate the total costs of these projects to be less than $30 million in total, which will be incurred primarily in the third and fourth quarters of 2011.

As discussed above, in the third quarter of 2011, we expect to complete the acquisition of the black oil fleet of Florida Marine consisting of 30 barges (7 of which will be sub-leased under similar terms of an existing FMT lease) and 14 pushboats for $141 million.

Expenditures for capital assets to grow the partnership distribution will depend on our access to debt and equity capital. We will look for opportunities to acquire assets from other parties that meet our criteria for stable cash flows.

Distributions to Unitholders

On August 12, 2011, we will pay a distribution of $0.4150 per common unit with respect to the second quarter of 2011 to common unitholders of record on August 5, 2011. This is the twenty-fourth consecutive quarter in which we have increased our quarterly distribution. Information on our recent distribution history is included in Note 6 to our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Non-GAAP Reconciliation

This quarterly report includes the financial measure of Available Cash before Reserves, which is a “non-GAAP” measure because it is not contemplated by or referenced in accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S., also referred to as GAAP. The accompanying schedule provides a reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure to its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. Our non-GAAP financial measure should not be considered as an alternative to GAAP measures such as net income, operating income, cash flow from operating activities or any other GAAP measure of liquidity or financial performance. We believe that investors benefit from having access to the same financial measures being utilized by management, lenders, analysts, and other market participants.

Available Cash before Reserves, also referred to as distributable cash flow, is commonly used as a supplemental financial measure by management and by external users of financial statements, such as investors, commercial banks, research analysts and rating agencies, to assess: (1) the financial performance of our assets without regard to financing methods, capital structures, or historical cost basis; (2) the ability of our assets to generate cash sufficient to pay interest cost and support our indebtedness; (3) our operating performance and return on capital as compared to those of other companies in the midstream energy industry, without regard to financing and capital structure; and (4) the viability of projects and the overall rates of return on alternative investment opportunities. Because Available Cash before Reserves excludes some items that affect net income or loss and because these measures may vary among other companies, the Available Cash before Reserves data presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. The GAAP measure most directly comparable to Available Cash before Reserves is net cash provided by operating activities.

Available Cash before Reserves is a liquidity measure used by our management to compare cash flows generated by us to the cash distribution paid to our common unitholders. This is an important financial measure to our public unitholders since it is an indicator of our ability to provide a cash return on their investment. Specifically, this financial measure aids investors in determining whether or not we are generating cash flows at a level that can support a quarterly cash distribution to the partners. Lastly, Available Cash before Reserves (also referred to as distributable cash flow) is the quantitative standard used throughout the investment community with respect to publicly-traded partnerships.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

The following should be read in conjunction with Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk included under Item 7A in our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K. There have been no material changes that would affect the quantitative and qualitative disclosures provided therein. Also, see Note 10 to our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional discussion related to derivative instruments and hedging activities.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, with the participation of our management, have evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and have determined that such disclosure controls and procedures are effective in ensuring that material information required to be disclosed in this quarterly report is accumulated and communicated to them and our management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

During the first and second quarters of 2011, we substantially completed a staged implementation of a Enterprise Resource Planning system. We changed systems in order to (i) establish a platform that accommodates future acquisitions and growth opportunities (ii) integrate and automate more of our functions, which will allow us to have more information in one integrated database, (iii) to provide operating efficiencies, (iv) to enable us to close our books in a more timely manner without sacrificing quality, (v) to review and improve our processes and (vi) to improve the internal control surrounding our computer systems. As a result of moving to a new system in 2011, many business processes and internal control procedures were required to be changed in order to conform to our new system.
