NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Organization and Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
Organization
We are a growth-oriented master limited partnership formed in Delaware in 1996 and focused on the midstream segment of the crude oil and natural gas industry in the Gulf Coast region of the United States and the Gulf of Mexico. We provide an integrated suite of services to refiners, crude oil and natural gas producers, and industrial and commercial enterprises and have a diverse portfolio of assets, including pipelines, offshore hub and junction platforms, our soda ash business (our "Alkali Business"), refinery-related plants, storage tanks and terminals, railcars, rail unloading facilities, barges and other vessels, and trucks. We are owned 100% by our limited partners. Genesis Energy, LLC, our general partner, is a wholly-owned subsidiary. Our general partner has sole responsibility for conducting our business and managing our operations. We conduct our operations and own our operating assets through our subsidiaries and joint ventures.
We currently manage our businesses through the following four divisions that constitute our reportable segments:
• | Offshore pipeline transportation and processing of crude oil and natural gas in the Gulf of Mexico; |
• | Sodium minerals and sulfur services involving trona and trona-based exploring, mining, processing, producing, marketing and selling activities, as well as processing of high sulfur (or "sour") gas streams for refineries to remove the sulfur, and selling the related by-product, sodium hydrosulfide (or "NaHS", commonly pronounced "nash"); |
• | Onshore facilities and transportation, which include terminalling, blending, storing, marketing, and transporting crude oil, petroleum products, and CO2; and |
• | Marine transportation to provide waterborne transportation of petroleum products and crude oil throughout North America. |
Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
The accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include Genesis Energy, L.P. and its subsidiaries, including our general partner, Genesis Energy, LLC.
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 annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") 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, 2018.
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. Recent Accounting Developments
Recently Adopted
We have adopted guidance under ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, and all related ASUs (collectively "ASC 606") as of January 1, 2018 utilizing the modified retrospective method of adoption. Our equity method investment, Poseidon Oil Pipeline Company, LLC (“Poseidon”), adopted ASC 606 on January 1, 2019. The adoption did not have an impact to our investment balance or equity in earnings at the transition date or at September 30, 2019. Refer to Note 3 for further details.
We have adopted guidance under ASC Topic 842, Lease Accounting ("ASC 842"), as of January 1, 2019 utilizing the modified retrospective method of adoption. Additionally, we elected to implement the practical expedients that pertain to easements, separation of lease components, and the package of practical expedients which among other things, allows us to carry over previous lease conclusions reached under ASC 840. As a result of adopting the new lease standard, we recorded an operating lease right of use asset of approximately $209 million with a corresponding lease liability as of the transition date. Refer to Note 4 for further details.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Recently Issued
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13 “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” ("ASU 2016-13"). ASU 2016-13 changes the impairment model for most financial assets and certain other instruments. For trade and other receivables, held-to-maturity debt securities, loans, and other instruments, entities will be required to use a new forward-looking “expected loss” model that generally will result in the earlier recognition of allowances for losses. The guidance also requires increased disclosures. ASU 2016-13 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. The standard requires varying transition methods for the different categories of amendments. We have performed a preliminary assessment which consisted of reviewing current and historical information pertaining to our trade accounts receivable and existing contract assets. We do not expect that the adoption of ASU 2016-03 will have a material impact on our financial statements.

The Company recognizes revenue upon the satisfaction of its performance obligations under its contracts. The timing of revenue recognition varies for our different revenue streams. In general, the timing includes recognition of revenue over time as services are being performed as well as recognition of revenue at a point in time, for delivery of products.
Contract Assets and Liabilities
The table below depicts our contract asset and liability balances at December 31, 2018 and September 30, 2019:
Contract Assets | Contract Liabilities | ||||||||||||
Current | Non-Current | Current | Non-Current | ||||||||||
Balance at December 31, 2018 | $ | — | $ | 72,241 | — | $ | 26,271 | ||||||
Balance at September 30, 2019 | 22,318 | 57,151 | 2,595 | 23,928 |
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, $0.6 million and $1.3 million, respectively, that was previously classified as a contract liability at the beginning of the period was recognized as revenue. Additionally, no revenues were recognized in the period related to performance obligations satisfied or partially satisfied from a previous period. Accounts receivable-trade, net does not include consideration received in kind from our refinery services process. We did not have any material contract modifications during the period that would affect our contract asset and liability balances.
Transaction Price Allocations to Remaining Performance Obligations
We are required to disclose the amount of our transaction prices that are allocated to unsatisfied performance obligations as of September 30, 2019. However, ASC 606 does provide the following practical expedients and exemptions that we utilized:
1) | Performance obligations that are part of a contract with an expected duration of one year or less; |
2) | Revenue recognized from the satisfaction of performance obligations where we have a right to consideration in an amount that corresponds directly with the value provided to customers; and |
10
GENESIS ENERGY, L.P.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
3) | Contracts that contain variable consideration, such as index-based pricing or variable volumes, that is allocated entirely to a wholly unsatisfied performance obligation or to a wholly unsatisfied promise to transfer a distinct good or service that is part of a series. |
We apply these practical expedients and exemptions to our revenue streams recognized over time. The majority of our contracts qualify for one of these expedients or exemptions. After considering these practical expedients and identifying the remaining contract types that involve revenue recognition over a long-term period and include long-term fixed consideration (adjusted for indexing as required), we determined our allocations of transaction price that relate to unsatisfied performance obligations. As it relates to our tiered pricing offshore transportation contracts, we provide firm capacity for both fixed and variable consideration over a long term period. Therefore, we have allocated the remaining contract value (as estimated and discussed above) to future periods.
The following chart depicts how we expect to recognize revenues for future periods related to these contracts:

4. Lease Accounting
Lessee Arrangements
We lease a variety of transportation equipment (including trucks, trailers, and railcars), terminals, land and facilities, and office space and equipment. Lease terms vary and can range from short term (under 12 months) to long term (greater than 12 months). A majority of our leases contain options to extend the life of the lease at our sole discretion. We considered these options when determining the lease terms used to derive our right of use asset and associated lease liability. Leases with a term of less than 12 months are not recorded on our consolidated balance sheet and we recognize lease expense for these leases on a straight line basis over the lease term.
Certain lease agreements include lease and non-lease components. We have elected to combine lease and non-lease components for all of our underlying assets for the purpose of deriving our right of use asset and lease liability. Additionally, certain lease payments are driven by variable factors, such as plant production or indexing rates. Variable costs are expensed as incurred and are not included in our determination for our lease liability and right of use asset.
As a lessee, we do not have any finance leases and none of our leases contain material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. In addition, most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, and as such, we determined our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at January 1, 2019 in determining the present value of lease payments.

Lessor Arrangements
We have the following contracts in which we act as a lessor. We also, from time to time, sublease certain of our transportation and facilities equipment to third parties.
Operating Leases
We act as a lessor in our revenue contract associated with the M/T American Phoenix, within the marine transportation segment. The M/T American Phoenix ocean tanker is currently under charter along the Gulf Coast until 2020 with a large refining customer. We recorded lease revenue of $6.8 million and $20.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and $6.8 million and $20.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 , respectively, which is recorded in marine transportation revenues on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Additionally, we act as a lessor on our Free State pipeline system, which is included in the onshore and facilities transportation segment. The Free State pipeline is an 86 mile pipeline in Eastern Mississippi used to transport CO2 that is recovered in the area downstream to several delivery points in and around the Mississippi region. Our Free State pipeline is currently under lease through 2028 to an affiliate of an independent crude oil company. We receive fixed installments through the life of the lease as well as variable consideration that is determined by average daily volumes of throughput. We recorded total revenue of $1.3 million and $4.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and $1.6 million and $4.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, which is recorded in onshore facilities and transportation revenues on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Direct Finance Lease
Our direct finance lease includes a lease of the Northeast Jackson Dome ("NEJD") Pipeline. Under the terms of the agreement, we are paid a quarterly payment, which commenced in August 2008. These payments are fixed at approximately $5.2 million per quarter during the lease term at an interest rate of 10.25%. At the end of the lease term in 2028, we will convey all of our interest in the NEJD Pipeline to the lessee for a nominal payment.

Poseidon's Revolving Credit Facility
Borrowings under Poseidon’s revolving credit facility, which was amended and restated in March 2019, are primarily used to fund spending on capital projects. The March 2019 credit facility is non-recourse to Poseidon’s owners and secured by substantially all of Poseidon's assets and has a new maturity date of March 2024. The March 2019 credit facility contains customary covenants such as restrictions on debt levels, liens, guarantees, mergers, sale of assets and distributions to owners. A breach of any of these covenants could result in acceleration of the maturity date of Poseidon’s debt. Poseidon was in compliance with the terms of its credit agreement for all periods presented in these Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

As of September 30, 2019, we were in compliance with the financial covenants contained in our credit agreement and senior unsecured notes indentures.
Senior Secured Credit Facility
The key terms for rates under our $1.7 billion senior secured credit facility, which are dependent on our leverage ratio (as defined in the credit agreement), are as follows:
•The interest rate on borrowings may be based on an alternate base rate or a Eurodollar rate, at our option. The alternate base rate is equal to the sum of (a) the greatest of (i) the prime rate as established by the administrative agent for the credit facility, (ii) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.5% of 1% and (iii) the LIBOR rate for a one-month maturity plus 1% and (b) the applicable margin. The Eurodollar rate is equal to the sum of (a) the LIBOR rate for the applicable interest period multiplied by the statutory reserve rate and (b) the applicable margin. The applicable margin varies from 1.50% to 3.00% on Eurodollar borrowings and from 0.50% to 2.00% on alternate base rate borrowings, depending on our leverage ratio. Our leverage ratio is recalculated quarterly and in connection with each material acquisition. At September 30, 2019, the applicable margins on our borrowings were 1.50% for alternate base rate borrowings and 2.50% for Eurodollar rate borrowings.
•Letter of credit fee rates range from 1.50% to 3.00% based on our leverage ratio as computed under the credit facility. The rate can fluctuate quarterly. At September 30, 2019, our letter of credit rate was 2.50%.
•We pay a commitment fee on the unused portion of the $1.7 billion maximum facility amount. The commitment fee rates on the unused committed amount will range from 0.25% to 0.50% per annum depending on our leverage ratio. At September 30, 2019, our commitment fee rate on the unused committed amount was 0.50%.
•The accordion feature is $300.0 million, giving us the ability to expand the size of the facility to up to $2.0 billion for acquisitions or growth projects, subject to lender consent.
At September 30, 2019, we had $947.0 million borrowed under our $1.7 billion credit facility, with $12.6 million of the borrowed amount designated as a loan under the inventory sublimit. Our credit agreement allows up to $100.0 million of the capacity to be used for letters of credit, of which $1.1 million was outstanding at September 30, 2019. 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. The total amount available for borrowings under our credit facility at September 30, 2019 was $751.9 million.

Class A Convertible Preferred Units
On September 1, 2017, we sold $750 million of our Class A Convertible Preferred units (our "preferred units") in a private placement, comprised of 22,249,494 units for a cash purchase price per unit of $33.71 (subject to certain adjustments, the “Issue Price”) to two initial purchasers. Our general partner executed an amendment to our partnership agreement in connection therewith, which, among other things, authorized and established the rights and preferences of our preferred units. Our preferred units are a new class of security that ranks senior to all of our currently outstanding classes or series of limited partner interests with respect to distribution and/or liquidation rights. Holders of our preferred units vote on an as-converted basis with holders of our common units and have certain class voting rights, including with respect to any amendment to the partnership agreement that would adversely affect the rights, preferences or privileges, or otherwise modify the terms, of those preferred units.
Accounting for the Class A Convertible Preferred Units
Our preferred units are considered redeemable securities under GAAP due to the existence of redemption provisions upon a deemed liquidation event that is outside our control. Therefore, we present them as temporary equity in the mezzanine section of the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Because our preferred units are not currently redeemable and we do not have plans or expect any events that constitute a change of control in our partnership agreement, we present our preferred units at their initial carrying amount. However, we would be required to adjust that carrying amount if it becomes probable that we would be required to redeem our preferred units.
Initial and Subsequent Measurement
We initially recognized our preferred units at their issuance date fair value, net of issuance costs. We will not be required to adjust the carrying amount of our preferred units until it becomes probable that they would become redeemable. Once redemption becomes probable, we would adjust the carrying amount of our preferred units to the redemption value over a period of time comprising the date the feature first becomes probable and the date the units can first be redeemed.
Preferred unit distributions are recognized on the date in which they are declared. Paid-in-kind ("PIK") distributions were declared and issued as follows:

Net Income Attributable to Genesis Energy, L.P. is reduced by preferred unit distributions in the form of PIK and cash that accumulated during the period. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, net income attributable to Genesis Energy, L.P. was reduced by $18.7 million and $55.8 million, respectively. In the first quarter of 2019, we declared a PIK for a portion of the quarterly distribution attributable to the first two months of the first quarter of 2019 (as defined below), resulting in the issuance of 364,180 preferred units. For the portion of the quarterly distribution attributable to the final month of the first quarter of 2019, we paid a cash distribution of $0.2458 for each preferred unit. This total quarterly distribution to the preferred unitholders equates to a quarterly distribution of $0.7374 per preferred unit (or $2.9496 on an annualized basis). All quarterly distributions to our preferred unitholders subsequent to the first quarter of 2019 are payable in cash.

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests
On September 23, 2019, we, through a subsidiary, Genesis Alkali Holdings Company, LLC (“Alkali Holdings”), entered into an amended and restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of Alkali Holdings (the "LLC Agreement") and a Securities Purchase Agreement (the "Securities Purchase Agreement") whereby certain investment fund entities affiliated with GSO Capital Partners LP (collectively, the “Sponsor”) purchased $55,000,000 and committed to purchase, during a three-year commitment period, up to a total of $350,000,000 (the “Preferred Commitment”) of preferred units in Alkali Holdings, the entity that holds our trona and trona-based exploring, mining, processing, producing, marketing and selling business, including its Granger facility near Green River, Wyoming. Alkali Holdings will use the net proceeds from the preferred units to fund up to 100% of the anticipated cost of expansion of the Granger facility. As of September 30, 2019, we received cash of $49.4 million for the $55 million of preferred units issued to date net of issuance costs, which was inclusive of our transaction related expenses and one-time commitment fee.

The Sponsor has the right to a quarterly distribution equal to 10% per annum on the liquidation preference of each preferred unit. The liquidation preference is defined as one thousand dollars per preferred unit, plus any accrued and unpaid distributions (including as a result of any distributions paid in kind). Distributions are payable quarterly within 45 days after the end of the fiscal quarter. Distributions may be paid in-kind in lieu of cash distributions during the first 36 months following the September 23, 2019 initial closing date. Subsequent to the payment-in-kind period, all distributions must be paid in cash. In addition to the quarterly distributions paid to the Sponsor, Alkali Holdings will distribute all of its distributable cash to the Partnership each quarter, which is equal to all cash and cash equivalents in the operating accounts of Alkali Holdings less cash reserves and a minimum $5 million cash balance to be maintained for working capital needs.
From time to time after we have drawn at least $250 million of our Preferred Commitment, we have the option to redeem the outstanding preferred units in whole for cash at a price equal to the initial $1,000 per preferred unit purchase price, plus no less than the greater of a predetermined fixed internal rate of return amount or a multiple of invested capital metric, net of cash distributions paid to date ("Base Preferred Return"). Additionally, if all outstanding preferred units are being redeemed, we have not drawn at least $250 million of our Preferred Commitment, and the Sponsor is not a "defaulting member" under the LLC Agreement, the Sponsor has the right to a make-whole amount on the number of undrawn preferred units.
The Sponsor is obligated to purchase a minimum of $250 million of preferred units unless certain customary closing conditions are not satisfied, including the existence of a triggering event or a material uncured breach of the Securities Purchase Agreement by Alkali Holdings. A triggering event would occur if Alkali Holdings fails to pay cash distributions subsequent to the paid-in-kind period, fails to redeem preferred units when required to by a change of control event, or if any preferred units remain outstanding on the six year anniversary date, amongst other events. The preferred units must be redeemed, in whole or in part, following certain change of control events, fundamental changes, or the liquidation, winding up, or dissolution of Alkali Holdings and, as applicable, the Partnership. If such an event were to occur, the preferred units would rank senior to Alkali Holdings common units and any class or series of equity of Alkali Holdings established after the issuance of the preferred units.
At any time following the sixth anniversary of the Securities Purchase Agreement, or following the occurrence of certain triggering events, if the preferred units issued and outstanding have not been redeemed in full for cash, the Sponsor has the right to gain control of the board of Alkali Holdings and effectuate a monetization event using its reasonable good faith efforts to maximize the consideration received to the holders of our common units, including the sale of Alkali Holdings (including all of its equity or assets and all of its equity in its subsidiaries), the proceeds of which would first be used to redeem the preferred units at the Base Preferred Return prior to any distribution to us.
Pursuant to the LLC Agreement, the Board of Managers (the "Board") for Alkali Holdings will consist of 5 managers, including 3 designated by the Partnership, 1 designated by the Sponsor, and 1 independent manager. The independent manager is entitled to only attend Board meetings if the Board is required to vote on matters related to a bankruptcy of Alkali Holdings, and is permitted to only vote on such matters.
Accounting for Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests
Classification
The preferred units issued and outstanding are accounted for as a redeemable noncontrolling interest in the mezzanine section on our Consolidated Balance Sheet due to the redemption features for a change of control.
Initial and Subsequent Measurement
We recorded the preferred units at their issuance date fair value, net of issuance costs. The fair value as of September 30, 2019 represents the carrying amount based on the issued and outstanding preferred units most probable redemption event on the six year anniversary of the closing, which is the predetermined internal rate of return measure accreted using the effective interest method to the redemption value. We recorded $0.2 million of redemption accretion from the closing date to September 30, 2019. As of the reporting date, there are no triggering, change of control, early redemption or monetization events that are probable that would require us to revalue the preferred units.
If the preferred units were redeemed on the reporting date of September 30, 2019, the redemption amount would be equal to $117.5 million, which would be the multiple of invested capital metric applied to the preferred units outstanding plus the make-whole amount on the undrawn minimum preferred units.
Net Income Attributable to Genesis Energy, L.P. includes adjustments to the carrying value of our redeemable noncontrolling interest, which includes preferred unit distributions in the form of PIK that accumulated during the period and accretion on the redemption feature. For the period ended September 30, 2019, Net Income Attributable to Genesis Energy, L.P. includes a reduction of $0.3 million.

11. Net Income (Loss) Per Common Unit
Basic net income per common unit is computed by dividing net income, after considering income attributable to our preferred unitholders, by the weighted average number of common units outstanding.
The dilutive effect of our Class A Convertible Preferred Units is calculated using the if-converted method. Under the if-converted method, these units are assumed to be converted at the beginning of the period (beginning with their respective issuance date), and the resulting common units are included in the denominator of the diluted net income per common unit calculation for the period being presented. Distributions declared in the period and undeclared distributions that accumulated during the period are added back to the numerator for purposes of the if-converted calculation. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the effect of the assumed conversion of the 25,336,778 Class A Convertible Preferred Units was anti-dilutive and was not included in the computation of diluted earnings per unit.

12. Business Segment Information
We currently manage our businesses through four divisions that constitute our reportable segments:
• | Offshore pipeline transportation – offshore transportation of crude oil and natural gas in the Gulf of Mexico; |
• | Sodium minerals and sulfur services – trona and trona-based exploring, mining, processing, producing, marketing and selling activities, as well as processing high sulfur (or “sour”) gas streams for refineries to remove the sulfur, and selling the related by-product, NaHS; |
• | Onshore facilities and transportation – terminalling, blending, storing, marketing and transporting crude oil, petroleum products (primarily fuel oil, asphalt, and other heavy refined products) and CO2 ;and |
• | Marine transportation – marine transportation to provide waterborne transportation of petroleum products and crude oil throughout North America. |
Substantially all of our revenues are derived from, and substantially all of our assets are located in, the United States.
We define Segment Margin as revenues less product costs, operating expenses (excluding non-cash gains and charges, such as depreciation, depletion 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 long-term incentive 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 capital investment.

Currently, that agreement renews automatically annually unless terminated by either party (as defined in the agreement).

Our revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 reflect $2.2 million and $6.5 million, respectively of fees we earned through the provision of services under that agreement.
ANSAC
We (through a subsidiary of our Alkali Business) are a member of the American Natural Soda Ash Corp. ("ANSAC"), an organization whose purpose is promoting and increasing the use and sale of natural soda ash and other refined or processed sodium products produced in the U.S. and consumed in specified countries outside of the U.S. Members sell products to ANSAC to satisfy ANSAC’s sales commitments to its customers. ANSAC passes its costs through to its members using a pro rata calculation based on sales. Those costs include sales and marketing, employees, office supplies, professional fees, travel, rent, and certain other costs. Those transactions do not necessarily represent arm's length transactions and may not represent all costs we would otherwise incur if we operated our Alkali Business on a stand-alone basis. We also benefit from favorable shipping rates for our direct exports when using ANSAC to arrange for ocean transport. Net Sales to ANSAC were $99.9 million and $272.3 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and were $90.4 million and $275.2 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018. The cost charges to us by ANSAC, included in operating costs, were $1.0 million and $3.4 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and were $1.4 million and $4.4 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018.

ANSAC is considered a variable interest entity (VIE) because we experience certain risks and rewards from our relationship with it. Because we do not exercise control over ANSAC and are not considered its primary beneficiary, we do not consolidate ANSAC.

Payments of interest and commitment fees were $145.4 million and $158.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018, respectively. We capitalized interest of $2.9 million and $2.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018, respectively.
At September 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018, we had incurred liabilities for fixed and intangible asset additions totaling $17.7 million and $16.6 million, respectively, that had not been paid at the end of the quarter, and, therefore, were not included in the caption “Payments to acquire fixed and intangible assets” under Cash Flows from Investing Activities in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
15. Derivatives
Commodity Derivatives
We have exposure to commodity price changes related to our inventory and purchase commitments. We utilize derivative instruments (primarily futures and options contracts traded on the NYMEX) to hedge our exposure to commodity prices, primarily of crude oil, fuel oil and petroleum products. Our decision as whether to designate derivative instruments as fair value hedges for accounting purposes relates to our expectations of the length of time we expect to have the commodity price exposure and our expectations as to whether the derivative contract will qualify as highly effective under accounting guidance in limiting our exposure to commodity price risk. Most of the petroleum products, including fuel oil that we supply, cannot be hedged with a high degree of effectiveness with derivative contracts available on the NYMEX; therefore, we do not designate derivative contracts utilized to limit our price risk related to these products as hedges for accounting purposes. Typically we utilize crude oil and other petroleum products futures and option contracts to limit our exposure to the effect of fluctuations in petroleum products prices on the future sale of our inventory or commitments to purchase petroleum products, and we recognize any changes in fair value of the derivative contracts as increases or decreases in our cost of sales. The recognition of changes in fair value of the derivative contracts not designated as hedges for accounting purposes can occur in reporting periods that do not coincide with the recognition of gain or loss on the actual transaction being hedged. Therefore we will, on occasion, report gains or losses in one period that will be partially offset by gains or losses in a future period when the hedged transaction is completed.
We have designated certain crude oil futures contracts as hedges of crude oil inventory due to our expectation that these contracts will be highly effective in hedging our exposure to fluctuations in crude oil prices during the period that we expect to hold that inventory. We account for these derivative instruments as fair value hedges under the accounting guidance. Changes in the fair value of these derivative instruments designated as fair value hedges are used to offset related changes in the fair value of the hedged crude oil inventory. Any hedge ineffectiveness in these fair value hedges and any amounts excluded from effectiveness testing are recorded as a gain or loss in the Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations.
In accordance with NYMEX requirements, we fund the margin associated with our loss positions on commodity derivative contracts traded on the NYMEX. The amount of the margin is adjusted daily based on the fair value of the commodity contracts. The margin requirements are intended to mitigate a party's exposure to market volatility and the associated contracting party risk. We offset fair value amounts recorded for our NYMEX derivative contracts against margin funding as required by the NYMEX in Current Assets - Other in our Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Additionally, we enter into swap arrangements. Our Alkali Business relies on natural gas to generate heat and electricity for operations. We use a combination of commodity price swap contracts and future purchase contracts to manage our exposure to fluctuations in natural gas prices. The swap contracts fix the basis differential between NYMEX Henry Hub and NW Rocky Mountain posted prices. We do not designate these contracts as hedges for accounting purposes. We recognize any changes in fair value of the derivative contracts as increases or decreases in our cost of sales.
At September 30, 2019, we entered into the following outstanding derivative commodity contracts to economically hedge inventory or fixed price purchase commitments.

Financial Statement Impacts
Unrealized gains are subtracted from net income and unrealized losses are added to net income in determining cash flows from operating activities. To the extent that we have fair value hedges outstanding, the offsetting change recorded in the fair value of inventory is also eliminated from net income in determining cash flows from operating activities. Changes in margin deposits necessary to fund unrealized losses also affect cash flows from operating activities.

Our accounting policy is to offset derivative assets and liabilities executed with the same counterparty when a master netting arrangement exists. Accordingly, we also offset derivative assets and liabilities with amounts associated with cash margin. Our exchange-traded derivatives are transacted through brokerage accounts and are subject to margin requirements as

established by the respective exchange. On a daily basis, our account equity (consisting of the sum of our cash balance and the fair value of our open derivatives) is compared to our initial margin requirement resulting in the payment or return of variation margin. As of September 30, 2019, we had a net broker receivable of approximately $2.5 million (consisting of initial margin of $1.6 million increased by $0.9 million of variation margin). As of December 31, 2018, we had a net broker receivable of approximately $2.2 million (consisting of initial margin of $3.1 million decreased by $0.9 million of variation margin). At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, none of our outstanding derivatives contained credit-risk related contingent features that would result in a material adverse impact to us upon any change in our credit ratings.
Preferred Distribution Rate Reset Election
A derivative feature embedded in a contract that does not meet the definition of a derivative in its entirety must be bifurcated and accounted for separately if the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative are not clearly and closely related to those of the host contract. For a period of 30 days following (i) September 1, 2022 and (ii) each subsequent anniversary thereof, the holders of our preferred units may make a one-time election to reset the quarterly distribution amount (a "Rate Reset Election") to a cash amount per preferred unit equal to the amount that would be payable per quarter if a preferred unit accrued interest on the Issue Price at an annualized rate equal to three-month LIBOR plus 750 basis points; provided, however, that such reset rate shall be equal to 10.75% if (i) such alternative rate is higher than the LIBOR-based rate and (ii) the then market price for our common units is then less than 110% of the Issue Price. The Rate Reset Election of our preferred units represents an embedded derivative that must be bifurcated from the related host contract and recorded at fair value on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Corresponding changes in fair value are recognized in Other Expense in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. At September 30, 2019, the fair value of this embedded derivative was a liability of $42.2 million. See Note 10 for additional information regarding our preferred units and the Rate Reset Election.

16. Fair-Value Measurements
We classify financial assets and liabilities into the following three levels based on the inputs used to measure fair value:
(1) | Level 1 fair values are based on observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities; |
(2) | Level 2 fair values are based on pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities and are either directly or indirectly observable as of the measurement date; and |
30
GENESIS ENERGY, L.P.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(3) | Level 3 fair values are based on unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists. |
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.
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 September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

Balance as of September 30, 2019 | $ | (42,183 | ) |
Our commodity derivatives include exchange-traded futures and exchange-traded options 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. The fair value of the swaps contracts was determined using market price quotations and a pricing model. The swap contracts were considered a level 2 input in the fair value hierarchy at September 30, 2019.
The fair value of the embedded derivative feature is based on a valuation model that estimates the fair value of our preferred units with and without a Rate Reset Election. This model contains inputs, including our common unit price, a ten year history of the dividend yield, default probabilities and timing estimates which involve management judgment. A significant increase or decrease in the value of these inputs could result in a material change in fair value to this embedded derivative feature. We report unrealized gains and losses associated with this embedded derivative in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations as Other expense, net.
Other Fair Value Measurements
We believe the debt outstanding under our credit facility approximates fair value as the stated rate of interest approximates current market rates of interest for similar instruments with comparable maturities. At September 30, 2019 our senior unsecured notes had a carrying value and fair value of $2.5 billion compared to $2.5 billion and $2.3 billion, respectively, at December 31, 2018. The fair value of the senior unsecured notes is determined based on trade information in the financial markets of our public debt and is considered a Level 2 fair value measurement.

17. Commitments and Contingencies
We are subject to various environmental laws and regulations. Policies and procedures are in place to aid in monitoring compliance and detecting and addressing releases of crude oil from our pipelines or other facilities and from our mining operations relating to our Alkali Business; 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 and examination 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.
18. Condensed Consolidating Financial Information
Our $2.5 billion aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes co-issued by Genesis Energy, L.P. and Genesis Energy Finance Corporation are fully and unconditionally guaranteed jointly and severally by all of Genesis Energy, L.P.’s current and future 100% owned domestic subsidiaries, except the subsidiaries that hold our Alkali business (collectively, the "Alkali Business"), Genesis Free State Pipeline, LLC, Genesis NEJD Pipeline, LLC, and certain subsidiaries. Genesis NEJD Pipeline, LLC is 100% owned by Genesis Energy, L.P., the parent company. The remaining non-guarantor subsidiaries are owned by Genesis Crude Oil, L.P., a guarantor subsidiary. As a general rule, the assets and credit of our unrestricted subsidiaries are not available to satisfy the Partnership's debts, and the liabilities of our unrestricted subsidiaries do not constitute obligations of the Partnership except, in the case of the Alkali Business, to the extent agreed to in the services agreement between the Partnership and Alkali Holdings dated as of September 23, 2019. Genesis Energy Finance Corporation has no independent assets or operations. See Note 9 for additional information regarding our consolidated debt obligations.
On September 23, 2019, the Company announced the expansion of its Granger facilities which included designating the Alkali Business as unrestricted subsidiaries of the Company under our indentures. Following such designation, the Alkali Business no longer guarantees our notes. The Alkali Business was historically presented as guarantor subsidiaries in footnote 18 and because of such designation will now be presented as non-guarantor subsidiaries. The changes made did not impact the Company's previously reported consolidated net operating results, financial position, or cash flows.
The unaudited condensed consolidating balance sheet as of December 31, 2018 and the unaudited condensed consolidating statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, and unaudited condensed consolidating statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 included in footnote 18 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements have been retrospectively adjusted to reflect these updates to our non-guarantor subsidiaries as though the Alkali Business had been presented as non-guarantor subsidiaries in all periods presented.
The following is condensed consolidating financial information for Genesis Energy, L.P., the guarantor subsidiaries and the non-guarantor subsidiaries.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following information should be read in conjunction with our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The following information and such Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should also be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and related notes, together with our discussion and analysis of financial position and results of operations, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.
Included in Management’s Discussion and Analysis are the following sections:
• | Overview |
• | Results of Operations |
• | Liquidity and Capital Resources |
• | Non-GAAP Financial Measures |
• | Commitments and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements |
• | Forward Looking Statements |
Overview
We reported Net Income Attributable to Genesis Energy, L.P. of $17.6 million during the three months ended September 30, 2019 (“2019 Quarter”) compared to Net Loss Attributable to Genesis Energy, L.P. of $0.3 million during the three months ended September 30, 2018 (“2018 Quarter”). Net Income Attributable to Genesis Energy, L.P. in the 2019 Quarter benefited from: (i) an unrealized gain from the valuation of the embedded derivative associated with our Class A Convertible Preferred units of $8.0 million compared to an unrealized gain of $1.8 million during the 2018 Quarter; (ii) lower interest expense of $4.1 million attributable to our lower average outstanding indebtedness relative to the 2018 Quarter; (iii) lower depreciation, depletion and amortization expense by $8.4 million due to the 2018 Quarter including the write-off of certain ARO assets associated with the abandonment of gas assets in our offshore segment; and (iv) lower general and administrative expenses of $9.2 million primarily due to the 2018 Quarter including certain dispute costs. These increases were offset by lower segment margin reported during the 2019 Quarter of $7.4 million and a gain on asset sales of $3.4 million reported during the 2018 Quarter.
Cash flow from operating activities was $136.1 million for the 2019 Quarter compared to $156.7 million for the 2018 Quarter. This decrease is primarily attributable to working capital needs during the respective periods.
Available Cash before Reserves (as defined below in "Non-GAAP Financial Measures") to our common unitholders was $82.5 million for the 2019 Quarter, a decrease of $30.2 million, or 26.8%, from the 2018 Quarter. Available Cash before Reserves for the 2019 Quarter is inclusive of the $18.7 million declared cash distribution to our preferred unitholders that is attributable to the 2019 Quarter and will be paid on November 14, 2019. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below for additional information on Available Cash before Reserves and Segment Margin.
Segment Margin (as defined below in "Non-GAAP Financial Measures") was $175.8 million for the 2019 Quarter, a decrease of $7.4 million, or 4%, from the 2018 Quarter. A more detailed discussion of our segment results and other costs is included below in "Results of Operations".
Distribution
In October 2019, we declared our quarterly distribution to our common unitholders of $0.55 per unit related to the 2019 Quarter. With respect to our Class A Convertible Preferred Units (our "preferred units"), we declared a quarterly cash distribution of $0.7374 per preferred unit (or $2.9496 on an annualized basis) for each preferred unit held of record. These distributions will be payable on November 14, 2019 to unitholders of record at the close of business on October 31, 2019.

Results of Operations
Revenues and Costs and Expenses
Our revenues for the 2019 Quarter decreased $123.6 million, or 17%, from the 2018 Quarter. In addition, our total costs and expenses as presented on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations decreased $130.2 million, or 19%, between the two periods. Total costs and expenses for the 2018 Quarter included higher depreciation, depletion and amortization expense of $8.4 million due to the write-off of certain ARO assets associated with the abandonment of gas assets in our offshore segment and higher general and administrative expenses of $9.2 million primarily due to certain dispute costs. In addition to these items, we describe the impact on revenues and costs from each of our businesses below.
A substantial portion of our revenues and costs are derived from the purchase and sale of crude oil and petroleum products in our legacy marketing business, which is included in the onshore facilities and transportation segment. The decrease in our revenues and costs in this segment between the 2019 Quarter and the 2018 Quarter is primarily attributable to decreases in crude oil and petroleum product prices and, to an extent, sales volumes. The average closing prices for West Texas Intermediate crude oil on the New York Mercantile Exchange ("NYMEX") decreased 18.9% to $56.42 per barrel in the 2019 Quarter, as compared to $69.55 per barrel in the 2018 Quarter. We would expect changes in crude oil prices to continue to proportionately affect our revenues and costs attributable to our purchase and sale of crude oil and petroleum products, producing minimal direct impact on Segment Margin, Net Income, and Available Cash before Reserves. We have limited our direct commodity price exposure related to crude oil and petroleum products through the broad use of fee-based service contracts, back-to-back purchase and sale arrangements, and hedges. As a result, changes in the price of crude oil would proportionately impact both our revenues and our costs, with a disproportionately smaller net impact on our Segment Margin. However, we do have some indirect exposure to certain changes in prices for oil, natural gas, and petroleum products, particularly if they are significant and extended. We tend to experience more demand for certain of our services when prices increase significantly over extended periods of time, and we tend to experience less demand for certain of our services when prices decrease significantly over extended periods of time. For additional information regarding certain of our indirect exposure to commodity prices, see our segment-by-segment analysis below and the section of our Annual Report entitled " Risks Related to Our Business."
In addition to our legacy marketing business discussed above, we continue to operate in our other core businesses including: (i) our offshore Gulf of Mexico crude oil and natural gas pipeline transportation and handling operations, focusing on integrated and large independent energy companies who make intensive capital investments (often in excess of billions of dollars) to develop numerous large reservoir, long-lived crude oil and natural gas properties; (ii) our sodium minerals and sulfur services businesses, which includes our Alkali Business, which is one of the leading producers of natural soda ash worldwide, and our legacy sulfur removal business; and (iii) our onshore-based refinery-centric operations located primarily in the Gulf Coast region of the U.S., which focus on providing a suite of services primarily to refiners. Refiners are the shippers of approximately 97% of the volumes transported on our onshore crude pipelines, and refiners contract for over 80% of the use of our inland barges, which are used primarily to transport intermediate refined products (not crude oil) between refining complexes. The shippers on our offshore pipelines are mostly integrated and large independent energy companies whose production is ideally suited for the vast majority of refineries along the Gulf Coast, unlike the lighter crude oil and condensates produced from numerous onshore shale plays. Their large-reservoir properties and the related pipelines and other infrastructure needed to develop them are capital intensive and yet, we believe, economically viable, in most cases, even in relatively low commodity price environments. Given these facts, we do not expect changes in commodity prices to impact our Net Income, Available Cash before Reserves or Segment Margin derived from our offshore Gulf of Mexico crude oil and natural gas pipeline transportation and handling operations in the same manner in which they impact our revenues and costs derived from the purchase and sale of crude oil and petroleum products.
Additionally, changes in certain of our operating costs between the respective quarters, such as those associated with our sodium minerals and sulfur services, offshore pipeline and marine transportation segments, are not correlated with crude oil prices. We discuss certain of those costs in further detail below in our segment-by-segment analysis.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2019 Compared with Three Months Ended September 30, 2018
Offshore pipeline transportation Segment Margin for the 2019 Quarter increased $10.1 million, or 14%, from the 2018 Quarter, primarily due to higher volumes on our crude oil pipeline systems. These increased volumes are the result of (i) the ramping of volumes from the Buckskin and Hadrian North production fields to expected levels, both of which are fully dedicated to our SEKCO pipeline, and further downstream, our Poseidon oil pipeline system, and (ii) the continued receipt of volumes on our CHOPS and Poseidon pipeline systems due to deliveries from a third party pipeline that has insufficient capacity to deliver its committed volumes to shore. These increased volumes during the 2019 Quarter more than offset the unplanned downtime on our offshore assets, which was primarily related to Hurricane Barry in the beginning of the 2019 Quarter.
44
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019 Compared with Nine Months Ended September 30, 2018
Offshore pipeline transportation Segment Margin for the first nine months of 2019 increased $18.2 million, or 8%, from the first nine months of 2018, primarily due to higher volumes on our crude oil pipeline systems. These increased volumes are the result of the 2019 period including: (i) the continued receipt of additional volumes on our CHOPS and Poseidon systems due to deliveries from a third party pipeline that had insufficient capacity to deliver its committed volumes to shore, and (ii) first oil flow from the Buckskin and Hadrian North production fields, both of which are fully dedicated to our SEKCO pipeline, and further downstream, our Poseidon oil pipeline system. These increased volumes during the first half of 2019 more than offset the approximately $7.8 million in platform fees, related to our interest in Poseidon, that we received during the first nine months of 2018. These minimum bill payments ended during June 2018.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2019 Compared with Three Months Ended September 30, 2018
Sodium minerals and sulfur services Segment Margin for the 2019 Quarter decreased $8.7 million, or 14%. This decrease is primarily due to lower NaHS volumes during the 2019 Quarter in our refinery services businesses. The lower volumes are attributable to supply chain disruptions some of our customers experienced during the 2019 Quarter along with production issues at several of our host refineries. Soda ash volumes increased in the 2019 Quarter relative to the 2018 Quarter primarily due to the timing of planned maintenance activities, which had an impact on the 2018 Quarter. During 2019, all major planned maintenance activities and downtime was completed in the first half of the year. Overall, the contributions from our Alkali Business have continued to exceed our expectations and the volumes during the third quarter of 2019 returned to expected levels. Costs impacting the results of our sodium minerals and sulfur services segment include costs associated with processing and producing soda ash (and other alkali products), NaHS and marketing and selling activities. In addition, costs include activities associated with mining and extracting trona ore (including energy costs and employee compensation).
45
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019 Compared with Nine Months Ended September 30, 2018
Sodium minerals and sulfur services Segment Margin for the first nine months of 2019 decreased $21.3 million, or 11% from the first nine months of 2018. This decrease is primarily due to lower volumes including both our soda ash and refinery services businesses. During 2019, our soda ash business experienced more downtime (primarily in the first half of the year) relative to 2018 due to certain planned maintenance activities, including the planned replacement and upgrade of a heat exchanger, a move of our longwall mining machine, and a temporary electrical equipment failure that impacted our production volumes at our plant sites. Overall, the contributions from our Alkali Business have continued to exceed our expectations and the volumes during the third quarter of 2019 returned to expected levels. Costs impacting the results of our sodium minerals and sulfur services segment include costs associated with processing and producing soda ash (and other alkali products), NaHS and marketing and selling activities. In addition, costs include activities associated with mining and extracting trona ore (including energy costs and employee compensation). Our refinery services business continues to perform as expected. NaHS volumes decreased during the first nine months of 2019 due to continued lower demand from certain of our international customers, primarily located in South America, and our domestic mining and pulp and paper customers.
Onshore Facilities and Transportation Segment
Our onshore facilities and transportation segment utilizes an integrated set of pipelines and terminals, as well as trucks, railcars, and barges to facilitate the movement of crude oil and refined products on behalf of producers, refiners and other customers. This segment includes crude oil and refined products pipelines, terminals, rail facilities and CO2 pipelines operating primarily within the United States Gulf Coast crude oil market. In addition, we utilize our railcar and trucking fleets that support the purchase and sale of gathered and bulk purchased crude oil, as well as purchased and sold refined products. Through these assets we offer our customers a full suite of services, including the following:
• | facilitating the transportation of crude oil from producers to refineries and from owned and third party terminals to refiners via pipelines; |
• | transporting CO2 from natural and anthropogenic sources to crude oil fields owned by our customers; |
• | shipping crude oil and refined products to and from producers and refiners via trucks, pipelines, and railcars; |
• | Unloading railcars at our crude-by-rail terminals; |
• | storing and blending of crude oil and intermediate and finished refined products; |
• | purchasing/selling and/or transporting crude oil from the wellhead to markets for ultimate use in refining; and |
• | purchasing products from refiners, transporting those products to one of our terminals and blending those products to a quality that meets the requirements of our customers and selling those products (primarily fuel oil, asphalt and other heavy refined products) to wholesale markets. |
We also use our terminal facilities to take advantage of contango market conditions, to gather and market crude oil, and to capitalize on regional opportunities which arise from time to time for both crude oil and petroleum products.
Despite crude oil being considered a somewhat homogeneous commodity, many refiners are very particular about the quality of crude oil feedstock they process. Many U.S. refineries have distinct configurations and product slates that require crude oil with specific characteristics, such as gravity, sulfur content and metals content. The refineries evaluate the costs to obtain, transport and process their preferred feedstocks. That particularity provides us with opportunities to help the refineries in our areas of operation identify crude oil sources and transport crude oil meeting their requirements. The imbalances and inefficiencies relative to meeting the refiners’ requirements may also provide opportunities for us to utilize our purchasing and logistical skills and assets to meet their demands. The pricing in the majority of our crude oil purchase contracts contains a market price component and a deduction to cover the cost of transportation and to provide us with a margin. Contracts sometimes contain a grade differential which considers the chemical composition of the crude oil and its appeal to different customers. Typically, the pricing in a contract to sell crude oil will consist of the market price components and the grade differentials. The margin on individual transactions is then dependent on our ability to manage our transportation costs and to capitalize on grade differentials.
In our refined products marketing operations, we supply primarily fuel oil, asphalt and other heavy refined products to wholesale markets and some end-users such as paper mills and utilities. We also provide a service to refineries by purchasing “heavier” petroleum products that are the residual fuels from gasoline production, transporting them to one of our terminals and blending them to a quality that meets the requirements of our customers.

Onshore facilities and transportation Segment Margin for the 2019 Quarter decreased $11.4 million, or 31%. This decrease is primarily due to lower crude oil pipeline and rail unload volumes during the 2019 Quarter. The lower volumes in the 2019 Quarter are due to the divestiture of our Powder River Basin midstream assets in the fourth quarter of 2018 and the continued effects of production curtailments by the Canadian government during 2019 impacting our Louisiana pipeline and rail unload volumes. Additionally, while the volumes on our Texas system increased during the 2019 Quarter, we were only able to recognize our minimum volume commitment because our main customer utilized its remaining prepaid transportation credits.

Segment Margin for our onshore facilities and transportation segment increased by $2.7 million, or 3%, between the first nine months of 2019 and the first nine months of 2018. This increase is partially due to increased volumes at our Raceland rail facility during the nine months in 2019 relative to 2018. We also received a cash payment of $10 million during 2019 associated with the resolution of a crude oil supply agreement. Additionally, although volumes on our Texas system increased during the first nine months of 2019, we were only able to recognize our minimum volume commitment because our main customer utilized its prepaid transportation credits. These net increases were partially offset by the margin recognized during 2018 associated with our previously owned Powder River Basin midstream assets that were divested in the fourth quarter of 2018.
Marine Transportation Segment
Within our marine transportation segment, we own a fleet of 91 barges (82 inland and 9 offshore) with a combined transportation capacity of 3.2 million barrels, 42 push/tow boats (33 inland and 9 offshore), and a 330,000 barrel ocean going tanker, the M/T American Phoenix. Operating results for our marine transportation segment were as follows:

Three Months Ended September 30, 2019 Compared with Three Months Ended September 30, 2018
Marine transportation Segment Margin for the 2019 Quarter increased $2.6 million, or 21%, from the 2018 Quarter. This increase in Segment Margin is primarily attributable to higher inland and offshore average day rates in the market that have been advantageous in both spot and term contracts, while our utilization was relatively flat between the 2019 and 2018 periods. While we have seen a slight uptick in day rates, we have continued to enter into short term contracts (less than a year) in both the inland and offshore markets because we believe the day rates currently being offered by the market are still near cyclical lows. This was partially offset by an increase in operating costs during the 2019 Quarter relative to the 2018 Quarter due to an increase in dry-docking costs in both our inland and offshore fleet.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019 Compared with Nine Months Ended September 30, 2018
Marine transportation Segment Margin for the first nine months of 2019 increased $6.5 million, or 19%, from the first nine months of 2018. The increase in Segment Margin is primarily attributable to higher inland and offshore barge utilization and an increase in average day rates in the market that have been advantageous in both spot and term contracts. While we have seen a slight uptick in day rates, we have continued to enter into short term contracts (less than a year) in both the inland and offshore markets because we believe the day rates currently being offered by the market are still near cyclical lows.

This decrease is primarily attributable to certain dispute costs incurred during 2018 included within corporate general and administrative costs. Third party costs related to business development activities and growth projects increased during the 2019 Quarter primarily due to costs associated with the closing of our financing transaction for the Granger expansion. During the nine month periods, third party costs related to business development activities and growth projects decreased $2.7 million as the 2018 period included costs associated with the acquisition and continued integration of our Alkali Business.

Net interest expense decreased $4.1 million during the 2019 Quarter primarily due to a lower average outstanding balance on our revolving credit facility during the 2019 Quarter and a slight decrease in our variable interest rate.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019 Compared with Nine Months Ended September 30, 2018
Net interest expense decreased $7.0 million during the first nine months of 2019 primarily due to a lower average outstanding balance on our revolving credit facility during the period which was partially offset by an increase in LIBOR rates relative to the first nine months of 2018. Additionally, during 2018, we recorded $1.0 million of interest expense on our previously held senior unsecured notes due February 15, 2021, which we redeemed in February 2018.
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 September 30, 2019, our balance sheet and liquidity position remained strong, including $751.9 million of remaining borrowing capacity under our $1.7 billion senior secured 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 ordinary course capital needs. Our primary sources of liquidity have been cash flows from operations, borrowing availability under our credit facility and the proceeds from issuances of equity and senior unsecured notes.
Our primary cash requirements consist of:
• | working capital, primarily inventories and trade receivables and payables; |
• | routine operating expenses; |
• | capital growth and maintenance projects; |
• | acquisitions of assets or businesses; |
• | payments related to servicing and reducing outstanding debt; and |
• | quarterly cash distributions to our preferred and common unitholders. |
Capital Resources
Our ability to satisfy future capital needs will depend on our ability to raise substantial amounts of additional capital from time to time — including through equity and debt offerings (public and private), borrowings under our credit facility and other financing transactions—and to implement our growth strategy successfully. No assurance can be made that we will be able to raise necessary funds on satisfactory terms or implement our growth strategy successfully.
50
At September 30, 2019, our long-term debt totaled approximately $3.4 billion, consisting of $0.9 billion outstanding under our credit facility (including $12.6 million borrowed under the inventory sublimit tranche) and $2.5 billion of senior unsecured notes, comprising $750 million carrying amount due August 1, 2022, $400 million carrying amount due on May 15, 2023, $350 million carrying amount due on June 15, 2024, $550 million carrying amount due October 2025, and $450 million carrying amount due May 2026.
On September 23, 2019, we announced the expansion of our existing Granger production facility expected to be completed during 2022. We entered into agreements with funds affiliated with GSO Capital Partners LP ("GSO") for the purchase of up to $350 million of preferred units. The proceeds received from GSO will fund up to 100% of the anticipated cost of the Granger expansion. The preferred unitholders will receive payment-in-kind in lieu of cash distributions during the anticipated construction. As of September 30, 2019, we had issued $55 million of preferred units to be used to fund the construction.
Equity Distribution Program and Shelf Registration Statements
We expect to issue additional equity and debt securities in the future to assist us in meeting our future liquidity requirements, particularly those related to opportunistically acquiring assets and businesses and constructing new facilities and refinancing outstanding debt.
In 2016, we implemented an equity distribution program that will allow us to consummate “at the market” offerings of common units from time to time through brokered transactions, which should help mitigate certain adverse consequences of underwritten offerings, including the downward pressure on the market price of our common units and the expensive fees and other costs associated with such public offerings. We entered into an equity distribution agreement with a group of banks who will act as sales agents or principals for up to $400.0 million of our common units, if and when we should elect to issue additional common units from time to time, although there are limits to the amount of our “at the market” offerings the market can absorb from time to time. In connection with implementing our equity distribution program, we filed a universal shelf registration statement (our "EDP Shelf") with the SEC. Our EDP Shelf allows us to issue up to $1.0 billion of equity and debt securities, whether pursuant to our equity distribution program or otherwise. Our EDP Shelf will expire in October 2020. As of September 30, 2019, we had issued no units under this program.
We have another universal shelf registration statement (our "2018 Shelf") on file with the SEC. Our 2018 Shelf allows us to issue an unlimited amount of equity and debt securities in connection with certain types of public offerings. However, the receptiveness of the capital markets to an offering of equity and/or debt securities cannot be assured and may be negatively impacted by, among other things, our long-term business prospects and other factors beyond our control, including market conditions. Our 2018 Shelf will expire in April 2021. We expect to file a replacement universal shelf registration statement before our 2018 Shelf expires.
Cash Flows from Operations
We generally utilize the cash flows we generate from our operations to fund our distributions and working capital needs. Excess funds that are generated are used to repay borrowings under our credit facility and/or to fund a portion of our capital expenditures. Our operating cash flows can be impacted by changes in items of working capital, primarily variances in the carrying amount of inventory and the timing of payment of accounts payable and accrued liabilities related to capital expenditures.
We typically sell our purchased crude oil in the same month in which we acquire it, so we do not need to rely on borrowings under our credit facility to pay for such crude oil purchases, other than inventory. 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 crude oil.
In our petroleum products onshore facilities and transportation activities, we purchase products and typically either move those products to one of our storage facilities for further blending or sell those products 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.
In our Alkali Business, we typically extract trona from our mining facilities, process it into soda ash and other alkali products, and deliver and sell the alkali products to our customers all within a relatively short time frame. If we do experience any differences in timing of extraction, processing and sales of our trona or alkali products, it could impact the cash requirements for these activities in the short term.
The storage of our inventory of crude oil and petroleum products can have a material impact on our cash flows from operating activities. In the month we pay for the stored crude oil or petroleum products, we borrow under our credit facility (or use cash on hand) to pay for the crude oil or petroleum products, utilizing a portion of our operating cash flows. Conversely, cash flow from operating activities increases during the period in which we collect the cash from the sale of the stored crude oil or petroleum products. Additionally, we may be required to deposit margin funds with the NYMEX when commodity prices
51
increase as the value of the derivatives utilized to hedge the price risk in our inventory fluctuates. These deposits also impact our operating cash flows as we borrow under our credit facility or use cash on hand to fund the deposits.
See Note 14 in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for information regarding changes in components of operating assets and liabilities for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018.
Net cash flows provided by our operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 were $331.7 million compared to $307.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. This increase in operating cash flow is primarily due to an increase in overall segment margin during 2019. Additionally, 2019 included lower interest expense by approximately $7.0 million and 2018 was impacted by certain dispute costs that had a negative effect to cash flows from operations.
Capital Expenditures, Distributions and Certain Cash Requirements
We use cash primarily for our operating expenses, working capital needs, debt service, acquisition activities, organic growth projects, maintenance capital expenditures and distributions we pay to our preferred and common unitholders. We finance maintenance capital expenditures and smaller organic growth projects and distributions primarily with cash generated by our operations. We have historically funded material growth capital projects (including acquisitions and organic growth projects) with borrowings under our credit facility, equity issuances and/or issuances of senior unsecured notes. We currently plan to allocate a substantial portion of our excess cash flow to reduce the balance outstanding under our revolving credit facility.

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. We continue to pursue a long-term growth strategy that may require significant capital.
Growth Capital Expenditures
On September 23, 2019, we announced the Granger Optimization Project ("GOP") to expand our existing Granger production facility expected to be completed during the fourth quarter of 2022. We entered into agreements with funds affiliated with GSO for the purchase of up to $350 million of preferred units. The proceeds received from GSO will fund up to 100% of the anticipated cost of the Granger expansion. As of September 30, 2019, we had issued $55 million of preferred units
52
to be used to fund the construction. The expansion is expected to increase our production at the Granger facilities by approximately 750k tons per year.
Except for GOP, we do not anticipate spending material growth capital expenditures on any individual projects during the remainder of 2019.
Maintenance Capital Expenditures
Maintenance capital expenditures incurred during the 2019 Quarter primarily relate to expenditures in our Alkali Business and in our marine transportation segment. Our Alkali Business incurs expenditures to maintain and replace its plant equipment due to the nature of its operations. Our marine transportation segment incurs expenditures as we frequently replace and upgrade certain equipment associated with our barge and vessel fleet during our planned and unplanned drydocks. See further discussion under "Available Cash before Reserves" for how such maintenance capital utilization is reflected in our calculation of Available Cash before Reserves.
Distributions to Unitholders
On November 14, 2019, we will pay a distribution of 0.55 per common unit totaling $67.4 million with respect to the 2019 Quarter. Information on our recent distribution history is included in Note 10 to our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
With respect to our Class A Convertible Preferred Units (our "preferred units"), we declared a quarterly cash distribution of $0.7374 per preferred unit (or $2.9496 on an annualized basis) for each preferred unit held of record. These distributions will be payable on November 14, 2019 to unitholders holders of record at the close of business on October 31, 2019.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
General
To help evaluate our business, we use the non-generally accepted accounting principle (“non-GAAP”) financial measure of Available Cash before Reserves. We also present total Segment Margin as if it were a non-GAAP measure. Our non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies because such measures may include or exclude other specified items. The schedules above provide reconciliations of Available Cash before Reserves to its most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (GAAP). A reconciliation of total Segment Margin to net income is also included in our segment disclosure in Note 12 to our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Our non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered (i) as alternatives to GAAP measures of liquidity or financial performance or (ii) as being singularly important in any particular context; they should be considered in a broad context with other quantitative and qualitative information. Our Available Cash before Reserves and total Segment Margin measures are just two of the relevant data points considered from time to time.
When evaluating our performance and making decisions regarding our future direction and actions (including making discretionary payments, such as quarterly distributions) our board of directors and management team has access to a wide range of historical and forecasted qualitative and quantitative information, such as our financial statements; operational information; various non-GAAP measures; internal forecasts; credit metrics; analyst opinions; performance, liquidity and similar measures; income; cash flow; and expectations for us, and certain information regarding some of our peers. Additionally, our board of directors and management team analyze, and place different weight on, various factors from time to time. We believe that investors benefit from having access to the same financial measures being utilized by management, lenders, analysts and other market participants. We attempt to provide adequate information to allow each individual investor and other external user to reach her/his own conclusions regarding our actions without providing so much information as to overwhelm or confuse such investor or other external user. Our non-GAAP financial measures 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.
54
Segment Margin
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 capital investment. We define Segment Margin as revenues less product costs, operating expenses, and segment general and administrative expenses, after eliminating gain or loss on sale of assets, plus or minus applicable Select Items. Although, we do not necessarily consider all of our Select Items to be non-recurring, infrequent or unusual, we believe that an understanding of these Select Items is important to the evaluation of our core operating results.
A reconciliation of total Segment Margin to net income is included in our segment disclosure in Note 12 to our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, as well as previously in this Item 2.
Available Cash before Reserves
Purposes, Uses and Definition
Available Cash before Reserves, often referred to by others as distributable cash flow, is a quantitative standard used throughout the investment community with respect to publicly traded partnerships and 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 aid in assessing, among other things:
(1) | the financial performance of our assets; |
(2) | our operating performance; |
(3) | the viability of potential projects, including our cash and overall return on alternative capital investments as compared to those of other companies in the midstream energy industry; |
(4) | the ability of our assets to generate cash sufficient to satisfy certain non-discretionary cash requirements, including interest payments and certain maintenance capital requirements; and |
(5) | our ability to make certain discretionary payments, such as distributions on our preferred and common units, growth capital expenditures, certain maintenance capital expenditures and early payments of indebtedness. |
Disclosure Format Relating to Maintenance Capital
We use a modified format relating to maintenance capital requirements because our maintenance capital expenditures vary materially in nature (discretionary vs. non-discretionary), timing and amount from time to time. We believe that, without such modified disclosure, such changes in our maintenance capital expenditures could be confusing and potentially misleading to users of our financial information, particularly in the context of the nature and purposes of our Available Cash before Reserves measure. Our modified disclosure format provides those users with information in the form of our maintenance capital utilized measure (which we deduct to arrive at Available Cash before Reserves). Our maintenance capital utilized measure constitutes a proxy for non-discretionary maintenance capital expenditures and it takes into consideration the relationship among maintenance capital expenditures, operating expenses and depreciation from period to period.
Maintenance Capital Requirements
Maintenance Capital Expenditures
Maintenance capital expenditures are capitalized costs that are necessary to maintain the service capability of our existing assets, including the replacement of any system component or equipment which is worn out or obsolete. Maintenance capital expenditures can be discretionary or non-discretionary, depending on the facts and circumstances.
Initially, substantially all of our maintenance capital expenditures were (a) related to our pipeline assets and similar infrastructure, (b) non-discretionary in nature and (c) immaterial in amount as compared to our Available Cash before Reserves measure. Those historical expenditures were non-discretionary (or mandatory) in nature because we had very little (if any) discretion as to whether or when we incurred them. We had to incur them in order to continue to operate the related pipelines in a safe and reliable manner and consistently with past practices. If we had not made those expenditures, we would not have been able to continue to operate all or portions of those pipelines, which would not have been economically feasible. An example of a non-discretionary (or mandatory) maintenance capital expenditure would be replacing a segment of an old pipeline because one can no longer operate that pipeline safely, legally and/or economically in the absence of such replacement.
As we exist today, a substantial amount of our maintenance capital expenditures from time to time will be (a) related to our assets other than pipelines, such as our marine vessels, trucks and similar assets, (b) discretionary in nature and (c) potentially material in amount as compared to our Available Cash before Reserves measure. Those expenditures will be discretionary (or non-mandatory) in nature because we will have significant discretion as to whether or when we incur them. We will not be forced to incur them in order to continue to operate the related assets in a safe and reliable manner. If we chose not make those expenditures, we would be able to continue to operate those assets economically, although in lieu of maintenance capital expenditures, we would incur increased operating expenses, including maintenance expenses. An example
55
of a discretionary (or non-mandatory) maintenance capital expenditure would be replacing an older marine vessel with a new marine vessel with substantially similar specifications, even though one could continue to economically operate the older vessel in spite of its increasing maintenance and other operating expenses.
In summary, as we continue to expand certain non-pipeline portions of our business, we are experiencing changes in the nature (discretionary vs. non-discretionary), timing and amount of our maintenance capital expenditures that merit a more detailed review and analysis than was required historically. Management’s recently increasing ability to determine if and when to incur certain maintenance capital expenditures is relevant to the manner in which we analyze aspects of our business relating to discretionary and non-discretionary expenditures. We believe it would be inappropriate to derive our Available Cash before Reserves measure by deducting discretionary maintenance capital expenditures, which we believe are similar in nature in this context to certain other discretionary expenditures, such as growth capital expenditures, distributions/dividends and equity buybacks. Unfortunately, not all maintenance capital expenditures are clearly discretionary or non-discretionary in nature. Therefore, we developed a measure, maintenance capital utilized, that we believe is more useful in the determination of Available Cash before Reserves. Our maintenance capital utilized measure, which is described in more detail below, constitutes a proxy for non-discretionary maintenance capital expenditures and it takes into consideration the relationship among maintenance capital expenditures, operating expenses and depreciation from period to period.
Maintenance Capital Utilized
We believe our maintenance capital utilized measure is the most useful quarterly maintenance capital requirements measure to use to derive our Available Cash before Reserves measure. We define our maintenance capital utilized measure as that portion of the amount of previously incurred maintenance capital expenditures that we utilize during the relevant quarter, which would be equal to the sum of the maintenance capital expenditures we have incurred for each project/component in prior quarters allocated ratably over the useful lives of those projects/components.
Because we did not initially use our maintenance capital utilized measure, our future maintenance capital utilized calculations will reflect the utilization of solely those maintenance capital expenditures incurred since December 31, 2013.

Forward Looking Statements
The statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that are not historical information may be “forward looking statements” as defined under federal law. All statements, other than historical facts, included in this document that address activities, events or developments that we expect or anticipate will or may occur in the future, including things such as plans for growth of the business, future capital expenditures, competitive strengths, goals, references to future goals or intentions, estimated or projected future financial performance, and other such references are forward-looking statements, and historical performance is not necessarily indicative of future performance. These forward-looking statements are identified as any statement that does not relate strictly to historical or current facts. They use words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “estimate,” “expect,” “forecast,” “goal,” “intend,” “may,” “could,” “plan,” “position,” “projection,” “strategy,” “should” or “will,” or the negative of those terms or other variations of them or by comparable terminology. In particular, statements, expressed or implied, concerning future actions, conditions or events or future operating results or the ability to generate sales, income or cash flow are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of performance. They involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Future actions, conditions or events and future results of operations may differ materially from those expressed in these forward-looking statements. Many of the factors that will determine these results are beyond our ability or the ability of our affiliates to control or predict. Specific factors that could cause actual results to differ from those in the forward-looking statements include, among others:
• | demand for, the supply of, our assumptions about, changes in forecast data for, and price trends related to crude oil, liquid petroleum, natural gas, NaHS, soda ash, caustic soda and CO2, all of which may be affected by economic activity, capital expenditures by energy producers, weather, alternative energy sources, international events, conservation and technological advances; |
• | our ability to successfully execute our business and financial strategies; |
56
• | the realized benefits of the preferred equity investment in Alkali Holdings by affiliates of GSO Capital Partners LP or our ability to comply with the related transaction agreements and maintain control over and ownership of the Alkali Business; |
• | throughput levels and rates; |
• | changes in, or challenges to, our tariff rates; |
• | our ability to successfully identify and close strategic acquisitions on acceptable terms (including obtaining third-party consents and waivers of preferential rights), develop or construct infrastructure assets, make cost saving changes in operations and integrate acquired assets or businesses into our existing operations; |
• | service equipment interruptions in our pipeline transportation systems, processing operations, or mining facilities; |
• | shutdowns or cutbacks at refineries, petrochemical plants, utilities, individual plants, or other businesses for which we transport crude oil, petroleum, natural gas or other products or to whom we sell soda ash, petroleum, or other products; |
• | risks inherent in marine transportation and vessel operation, including accidents and discharge of pollutants; |
• | changes in laws and regulations to which we are subject, including tax withholding issues, regulations regarding qualifying income, accounting pronouncements, and safety, environmental and employment laws and regulations; |
• | the effects of production declines and the effects of future laws and government regulation; |
• | planned capital expenditures and availability of capital resources to fund capital expenditures; |
• | our inability to borrow or otherwise access funds needed for operations, expansions or capital expenditures as a result of our credit agreement and the indentures governing our notes, which contain various affirmative and negative covenants; |
• | loss of key personnel; |
• | cash from operations that we generate could decrease or fail to meet expectations, either of which could reduce our ability to pay quarterly cash distributions at the current level or to increase quarterly cash distributions in the future; |
• | an increase in the competition that our operations encounter; |
• | cost and availability of insurance; |
• | hazards and operating risks that may not be covered fully by insurance; |
• | our financial and commodity hedging arrangements, which may reduce our earnings, profitability and cash flow; |
• | changes in global economic conditions, including capital and credit markets conditions, inflation and interest rates; |
• | natural disasters, accidents or terrorism; |
• | changes in the financial condition of customers or counterparties; |
• | adverse rulings, judgments, or settlements in litigation or other legal or tax matters; |
• | the treatment of us as a corporation for federal income tax purposes or if we become subject to entity-level taxation for state tax purposes; |
• | the potential that our internal controls may not be adequate, weaknesses may be discovered or remediation of any identified weaknesses may not be successful and the impact these could have on our unit price; and |
• | a cyberattack involving our information systems and related infrastructure, or that of our business associates. |
You should not put undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. When considering forward-looking statements, please review the risk factors described under “Risk Factors” discussed in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. These risks may also be specifically described in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and Current Reports on Form 8-K (or any amendments to those reports) and other documents that we may file from time to time with the SEC. New factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all such factors, or the extent to which any such factor or combination of factors may cause actual results to differ from those contained in any forward-looking statement. Except as required by applicable securities laws, we do not intend to update these forward-looking statements and information.
