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 (the "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, 2019 (our "Annual Report").

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.

COVID-19 Update

In March 2020, the World Health Organization categorized COVID-19 as a pandemic, and the President of the United States declared the COVID-19 outbreak a national emergency. Our operations, which fall within the energy, mining and transportation sectors, are considered critical and essential by the Department of Homeland Security's Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency ("CISA") and we have continued to operate our assets during this pandemic.

We considered the impact of COVID-19 on the assumptions and estimates reflected in our financial statements. We noted, other than the impact of general macroeconomic conditions, there were no material adverse effects from the pandemic on our results for the three months ended March 31, 2020. See further discussion on COVID-19 in Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

2. Recent Accounting Developments

Recently Adopted

We have adopted guidance under ASC Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses ("ASC 326"), as of January 1, 2020 . The standard changed 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 are required to use a new forward-looking “expected loss” model that generally will result in the earlier recognition of allowances for losses. We performed an assessment at our adoption date, January 1, 2020, which consisted of reviewing current and historical information pertaining to our trade accounts receivable and existing contract assets. Our assessment resulted in an immaterial impact to our consolidated financial statements as of the adoption date and for the three months ended March 31, 2020.

During the first quarter of 2020, the SEC amended the financial disclosure requirements for guarantors and issuers of guaranteed securities registered or being registered in Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X to go in effect January 4, 2021. The amendment simplifies the disclosure requirements and permits the amended disclosures to be provided outside the footnotes in audited annual or unaudited interim consolidated financial statements in all filings. As permitted by the amendment, we have early adopted the amendment and included the required summarized financial information in Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

3. Revenue Recognition

Revenue from Contracts with Customers

The following tables reflect the disaggregation of our revenues by major category for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively:



	Three Months Ended March 31, 2020
	Offshore Pipeline Transportation		Sodium Minerals & Sulfur Services		Marine Transportation		Onshore Facilities and Transportation		Consolidated
Fee-based revenues	$	78,429	$	—	$	62,346	$	40,990	$	181,765
Product Sales	—		215,366		—		114,768		330,134
Refinery Services	—		28,024		—		—		28,024
	$	78,429	$	243,390	$	62,346	$	155,758	$	539,923



	Three Months Ended March 31, 2019
	Offshore Pipeline Transportation		Sodium Minerals & Sulfur Services		Marine Transportation		Onshore Facilities & Transportation		Consolidated
Fee-based revenues	$	78,317	$	—	$	56,650	$	38,012	$	172,979
Product Sales	—		257,843		—		171,544		429,387

	$	78,317	$	275,486	$	56,650	$	209,556	$	620,009

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, 2019 and March 31, 2020:



	Contract Assets				Contract Liabilities
	Current		Non-Current		Current		Non-Current
Balance at December 31, 2019	$	21,912	$	54,232	$	2,896	$	23,170
Balance at March 31, 2020	33,672		37,277		2,983		22,376

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 March 31, 2020. We are exempted from disclosing performance obligations with a duration of one year or less, revenue recognized related to performance obligations where the consideration corresponds directly with the value provided to customers, and contracts with variable consideration that is allocated wholly to an unsatisfied performance obligation or promise to transfer a good or service that is part of a series in accordance with ASC 606.

The majority of our contracts qualify for one of these expedients or exemptions. For the remaining contract types that involve revenue recognition over a long-term period with long-term fixed consideration (adjusted for indexing as required), we determined our allocations of transaction price that relate to unsatisfied performance obligations. For 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 to future periods.

The following chart depicts how we expect to recognize revenues for future periods related to these contracts:



	Offshore Pipeline Transportation		Onshore Facilities and Transportation
Remainder of 2020	$	54,873	$	43,220
2021	58,623		20,269
2022	69,134		4,283
2023	58,540		—
2024	52,812		—
Thereafter	154,899		—
Total	$	448,881	$	67,772

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 Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Lease expenses are recognized on a straight line basis over the lease term.

Our Right of Use Assets, net balance includes our unamortized initial direct costs associated with certain of our transportation equipment leases. Additionally, it includes our unamortized prepaid rents, our deferred rents, and our previously classified intangible asset associated with a favorable lease. Our lease liability includes our remaining provision for each period presented for our cease-use provision for railcars no longer in use.

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 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 March 31, 2020, 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 March 31, 2020, the applicable margins on our borrowings were 1.75% for alternate base rate borrowings and 2.75% 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 March 31, 2020, our letter of credit rate was 2.75%.


•	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 March 31, 2020, 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.

On March 25, 2020, we amended our credit agreement. This amendment, among other things, (i) sets the maximum Consolidated Senior Secured Leverage Ratio (as defined in the credit agreement) at 3.25 to 1.00 throughout the remaining term of the facility, and (ii) allows us to purchase certain of our outstanding senior unsecured notes, subject to certain customary conditions.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

At March 31, 2020, we had $977.4 million borrowed under our $1.7 billion credit facility, with $7.7 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 March 31, 2020. 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 March 31, 2020 was $721.5 million, subject to compliance with covenants.

As a general rule, the assets and credit of our unrestricted subsidiaries are not available to satisfy the debts of Genesis Energy, L.P., Genesis Energy Finance Corporation or the Guarantor Subsidiaries (as defined below in Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations), and the liabilities of our unrestricted subsidiaries do not constitute obligations of Genesis Energy, L.P., Genesis Energy Finance Corporation or the Guarantor Subsidiaries except, in the case of Genesis Alkali Holdings Company, LLC ("Alkali Holdings") and Genesis Energy, L.P., to the extent agreed to in the services agreement between Genesis Energy, L.P. and Alkali Holdings dated as of September 23, 2019 (the "Services Agreement").

Senior Unsecured Note Issuances, Redemption and Extinguishment

On January 16, 2020, we issued $750.0 million in aggregate principal amount of our 7.75% senior unsecured notes due February 15, 2028 (the “2028 Notes”). Interest payments are due February 1 and August 1 of each year with the initial interest payment due on August 1, 2020. That issuance generated net proceeds of $736.7 million net of issuance costs incurred. The net proceeds were used to purchase $527.9 million of our existing 6.75% senior unsecured notes due August 1, 2022 (the “2022 Notes”), including the related accrued interest and tender premium on those notes, and the remaining proceeds at the time were used to repay a portion of the borrowings outstanding under our revolving credit facility. On January 17, 2020 we called for redemption of the remaining $222.1 million of our 2022 Notes, and they were redeemed on February 16, 2020. We incurred a total loss of approximately $23.5 million relating to the extinguishment of our 2022 senior unsecured notes, inclusive of our transactions costs and the write-off of the related unamortized debt issuance costs and discount, which is recorded as "Other income (expense)" in our Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2020.

Class A Convertible Preferred Units

At March 31, 2020 we had 25,336,778 Class A Convertible Preferred Units (our "Class A Convertible Preferred Units") outstanding. Our Class A Convertible Preferred Units rank 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 Class A Convertible 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 Class A Convertible Preferred Units.

Accounting for the Class A Convertible Preferred Units

Our Class A Convertible 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 Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheet. Because our Class A Convertible 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 Class A Convertible 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 Class A Convertible Preferred Units.

Initial and Subsequent Measurement

We initially recognized our Class A Convertible Preferred Units at their issuance date fair value, net of issuance costs. We will not be required to adjust the carrying amount of our Class A Convertible Preferred Units until it becomes probable that they would become redeemable. Once redemption becomes probable, we would adjust the carrying amount of our Class A Convertible 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. Our Class A Convertible Preferred Units contain a distribution Rate Reset Election (as defined in Note 15) option. This Rate Reset Election is bifurcated and accounted for separately as an embedded derivative and recorded at fair value at each reporting period. Refer to Note 15 and Note 16 for additional discussion.

Class A Convertible Preferred Unit distributions are recognized on the date in which they are declared. Paid-in-kind ("PIK") distributions were declared and issued as follows:



Distribution For	Date Issued	Number of Units₍₁₎	Total Amount
2019
1^st Quarter	May 15, 2019	364,180	$	12,277

(1) Subsequent to the first quarter of 2019, all distributions have been and will be paid in cash.

Net Income Attributable to Genesis Energy, L.P. is reduced by Class A Convertible Preferred Unit distributions that accumulated during the period. Net income attributable to Genesis Energy, L.P. was reduced by $18.7 million and $18.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019.

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests

On September 23, 2019, we, through a subsidiary, 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 "GSO") purchased $55,000,000 and committed to purchase up to approximately $350,000,000 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 Alkali Holdings preferred units to fund up to 100% of the anticipated cost of expansion of the Granger facility. As of March 31, 2020, we have received cash of $122.9 million for the $130 million of Alkali Holdings preferred units issued to date net of issuance costs, which was inclusive of our transaction related expenses and one-time commitment fee.

On April 14, 2020, we entered into an amendment to our agreements with GSO to, among other things, extend the construction timeline of the Granger expansion project by one year.

Accounting for Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests

Classification

The Alkali Holdings preferred units issued and outstanding are accounted for as a redeemable noncontrolling interest in the mezzanine section on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet due to the redemption features for a change of control.

Initial and Subsequent Measurement

We recorded the Alkali Holdings preferred units at their issuance date fair value, net of issuance costs. The fair value as of March 31, 2020 represents the carrying amount based on the issued and outstanding Alkali Holdings 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 as of the reporting date. Net Income Attributable to Genesis Energy, L.P. for the three months ended March 31, 2020 includes $4.1 million of adjustments, of which $3.3 million was allocated to the PIK distributions on the outstanding Alkali Holdings preferred units and $0.8 million was attributable to redemption accretion value adjustments. We elected to pay distributions for the period ended March 31, 2020 in-kind to our Alkali Holdings preferred unitholders. These PIK distributions increase the unitholders liquidation preference on each Alkali Holdings preferred unit.

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 Alkali Holdings preferred units.

If the Alkali Holdings preferred units were redeemed on the reporting date of March 31, 2020, the redemption amount would be equal to $192.5 million, which would be the multiple of invested capital metric applied to the Alkali Holdings preferred units outstanding plus the make-whole amount on the undrawn minimum Alkali Holdings preferred units.

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 months ended March 31, 2020, 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.

The following table reconciles net income and weighted average units used in computing basic and diluted net income (loss) per common unit (in thousands, except per unit amounts):

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.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Our CEO, Mr. Sims, owns an aircraft which is used by us for business purposes in the course of operations. We pay Mr. Sims a fixed monthly fee and reimburse the aircraft management company for costs related to our usage of the aircraft, including fuel and the actual out-of-pocket costs. Based on current market rates for chartering of private aircraft under long-term, priority arrangements with industry recognized chartering companies, we believe that the terms of this arrangement are no worse than what we could have expected to obtain in an arms-length transaction.

Poseidon

At March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 Poseidon owed us $1.7 million and $2.4 million, respectively, for services rendered.

We are the operator of Poseidon and provide management, administrative and pipeline operator services to Poseidon under an Operation and Management Agreement. Currently, that agreement renews automatically annually unless terminated by either party (as defined in the agreement). Our revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019 reflect $2.3 million and $2.2 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.

ANSAC is considered a variable interest entity (VIE) because we experience certain risks and rewards from our relationship with it. As we do not exercise control over ANSAC and are not considered its primary beneficiary, we do not consolidate ANSAC. The ANSAC membership agreement provides that in the event an ANSAC member exits or the ANSAC cooperative is dissolved, the exiting members are obligated for their respective portion of the residual net assets or deficit of the cooperative. As of March 31, 2020, such amount is not estimable.

Net Sales to ANSAC were $73.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and were $90.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2019. The costs charged to us by ANSAC, included in operating costs, were $0.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and were $1.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2019.

Receivables from and payables to ANSAC as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 are as follows:

Payments of interest and commitment fees were $33.7 million and $39.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019, respectively. We capitalized interest of $0.5 million and $0.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019, respectively.

At March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019, we had incurred liabilities for fixed and intangible asset additions totaling $17.2 million and $13.1 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 Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

In accordance with NYMEX requirements, we fund the margin associated with our 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 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

GENESIS ENERGY, L.P.

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 March 31, 2020, 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.

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 March 31, 2020, we had a net broker receivable of approximately $1.9 million (consisting of initial margin of $1.0 million increased by $0.9 million of variation margin). As of December 31, 2019, we had a net broker receivable of approximately $0.9 million (consisting of initial margin of $0.8 million increased by $0.1 million of variation margin). At March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, 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 Class A Convertible Preferred Units may make a one-time election to reset the quarterly distribution amount (a "Rate Reset Election") to a cash amount per Class A Convertible Preferred Unit equal to the amount that would be payable per quarter if a Class A Convertible 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 Class A Convertible 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 Income (Expense) in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. At March 31, 2020, the fair value of this embedded derivative was a liability of $19.0 million. See Note 10 for additional information regarding our Class A Convertible 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

Table of Contents

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 March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019.



	Fair Value at									Fair Value at
	March 31, 2020									December 31, 2019
Recurring Fair Value Measures	Level 1			Level 2			Level 3			Level 1			Level 2		Level 3
Commodity derivatives:
Assets	$	1,601		$	511		$	—		$	211		$	1,382	$	—
Liabilities	$	(3,609	)	$	(167	)	$	—		$	(2,129	)	$	—	$	—
Preferred Distribution Rate Reset Election	$	—		$	—		$	(18,970	)	$	—		$	—	$	(51,515	)

Rollforward of Level 3 Fair Value Measurements

The following table provides a reconciliation of changes in fair value at the beginning and ending balances for our derivatives classified as level 3:



	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2020
Balance as of December 31, 2019	$	(51,515	)
Unrealized gain for the period included in earnings	32,545
Balance as of March 31, 2020	$	(18,970	)

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 March 31, 2020.

The fair value of the embedded derivative feature is based on a valuation model that estimates the fair value of our Class A Convertible Preferred Units with and without a Rate Reset Election. This model contains inputs, including our common unit price relative to the issuance price, the current dividend yield, credit spread, default probabilities, equity volatility and timing estimates which involve management judgment. Our equity volatility rate used to value our embedded derivative feature was 50% at March 31, 2020. 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. During the 2020 Quarter, we recorded an unrealized gain of $32.5 million in Other income (expense) on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations due to the significant changes in the energy industry credit markets and our common unit price during the period.

See Note 15 for additional information on our derivative instruments.

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 March 31, 2020 our senior unsecured notes had a carrying value of $2.5 billion and fair value of $1.8 billion compared to a carrying value and fair value of $2.5 billion at December 31, 2019. 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.

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.

Overview

We reported Net Income Attributable to Genesis Energy, L.P. of $24.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2020 (“2020 Quarter”) compared to Net Income Attributable to Genesis Energy, L.P. of $16.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2019 (“2019 Quarter”). Net Income Attributable to Genesis Energy, L.P. in the 2020 Quarter benefited from:

(i) an unrealized gain from the valuation of the embedded derivative associated with our Class A Convertible Preferred Units of $32.5 million compared to an unrealized loss of $3.0 million during the 2019 quarter recorded in other income (expense); (ii) lower general and administrative expenses of $2.3 million primarily due to the assumptions used to value our long term incentive compensation plans during the 2020 Quarter; and (iii) lower depreciation, depletion and amortization expense of $3.3 million. These increases were offset by: (i) the transaction costs and write-off of the unamortized issuance costs and discount associated with the extinguishment of our 2022 Notes of $23.5 million during the 2020 Quarter included in Other income (expense); (ii) lower segment margin during the 2020 Quarter of $4.3 million; and (iii) $4.1 million of our Net Income during the 2020 Quarter being attributed to our redeemable noncontrolling interests.

Cash flow from operating activities was $89.6 million for the 2020 Quarter compared to $114.0 million for the 2019 Quarter. This decrease is primarily attributable to transaction costs incurred during the 2020 Quarter associated with the tender and redemption of our 2022 Notes.

Available Cash before Reserves (as defined below in "Non-GAAP Financial Measures") to our common unitholders was $81.8 million for the 2020 Quarter, a decrease of $14.1 million, or 14.7%, from the 2019 Quarter. Available Cash before Reserves for the 2020 Quarter is inclusive of the $18.7 million declared cash distribution to our Class A Convertible Preferred Unitholders that is attributable to the 2020 Quarter and will be paid on May 15, 2020. Available Cash before Reserves for the 2019 Quarter is inclusive of the $6.1 million cash distribution attributable to the period that was paid on May 15, 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 $169.3 million for the 2020 Quarter, a decrease of $4.3 million, or 2%, from the 2019 Quarter. A more detailed discussion of our segment results and other costs is included below in "Results of Operations".

See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below for additional information on Available Cash before Reserves and Segment Margin.

Distribution

In April 2020, we declared our quarterly distribution to our common unitholders of $0.15 per unit related to the 2020 Quarter. With respect to our Class A Convertible Preferred Units, we declared a quarterly cash distribution of $0.7374 per Class A Convertible Preferred Unit (or $2.9496 on an annualized basis) for each Class A Convertible Preferred Unit held of record. These distributions will be payable on May 15, 2020 to unitholders of record at the close of business on May 1, 2020.

COVID-19 and Market Update

Table of Contents

transportation sectors, are considered critical and essential by the Department of Homeland Security's CISA and we have continued to operate our assets during this pandemic.

We have designated an internal management team to provide resources, updates, and support to our entire workforce during this pandemic, while maintaining a focus to ensure the safety and well-being of our employees, the families of our employees, and the communities in which our businesses operate. We will continue to act in the best interests of our employees, stakeholders, customers, partners, and suppliers and make any necessary changes as required by federal, state, or local authorities as we actively monitor the situation.

COVID-19 has caused commodity prices to decline due to, among other things, reduced industrial activity and travel restrictions that are expected to continue in the near future. Additionally, actions taken by OPEC and other oil exporting nations beginning in early March 2020 have caused additional significant declines and volatility in the price of oil and gas. These low and volatile commodity prices are expected to continue at least for the near-term and possibly longer, reflecting fears of a global recession and potential further global economic damage from COVID-19, including factory shutdowns, travel bans, closings of schools and stores, and cancellations of conventions and similar events, resulting in, among other things, reduced fuel demand, lower manufacturing activity, and high inventories of oil, natural gas, and petroleum products, which could further negatively impact oil, natural gas, and petroleum products and industrial products.

We noted, other than the impact of general macroeconomic conditions, there were no material adverse effects from the pandemic on our results for the three months ended March 31, 2020. Although the potential future limitations and impact of COVID-19 are unknown at this time, and although we tend to experience less demand for certain of our services and products when commodity prices decrease significantly over extended periods of time (and we expect a similar impact on demand when global restrictions are in place limiting the economy and industrial product use), we believe the fundamentals of our underlying businesses continue to remain strong and, given the current industry environment and capital market behavior, we have continued our focus on de-leveraging our balance sheet, which includes the reduction of our distribution to common unitholders. Finally, given the current operating environment, we are prudently looking at several initiatives to identify and implement cost reductions across our various business segments. During April 2020, we also amended our agreements with GSO associated with the expansion of our Granger soda ash facility to, among other things, extend the construction timeline of the project by as much as one year.

Revenues and Costs and Expenses

Our revenues for the 2020 Quarter decreased $80.1 million, or 13%, from the 2019 Quarter. In addition, our total costs and expenses as presented on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations decreased $77.2 million, or 14%, between the two periods.

A substantial portion of our revenues and costs are derived from the purchase and sale of crude oil and petroleum products in our crude oil marketing business, which is included in the onshore facilities and transportation segment, and revenues and costs associated with our Alkali Business, which is included in the sodium minerals and sulfur services segment. The decrease in our revenues and costs between the 2020 Quarter and the 2019 Quarter is primarily attributable to: (i) decreases in crude oil and petroleum product prices and, to an extent, sales volumes; and (ii) negative impacts of contractual export pricing and soda ash volumes in our Alkali Business.

As it relates to our crude oil marketing business, the average closing prices for West Texas Intermediate crude oil on the New York Mercantile Exchange ("NYMEX") decreased 15.8% to $46.17 per barrel in the 2020 Quarter, as compared to $54.85 per barrel in the 2019 Quarter. Additionally, impacts from COVID-19 along with actions taken by OPEC and other oil exporting nations beginning in early March 2020 have caused additional significant price declines and volatility in oil and gas prices. These low and volatile commodity prices are expected to continue at least for the near term and possibly longer. 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 commodity prices increase significantly over extended periods of time, and we tend to experience less demand for certain of our services when commodity 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."

As it relates to our Alkali Business, our revenues are derived from the extraction of trona, as well as the activities surrounding the processing and sale of natural soda ash and other alkali specialty products, including sodium sesquicarbonate (S-Carb) and sodium bicarbonate (Bicarb), and are a function of our selling prices and volume sold. We sell our products to an industry-diverse and worldwide customer base. Our selling prices are contracted at various times throughout the year and for different durations. Typically, our selling prices for volumes sold internationally and through ANSAC are contracted for the current year (in most cases, annually) in the prior December and January of the current year, and our volumes priced and sold domestically are contracted at various times and can be of varying durations, often multi-year terms. Our sales volumes can fluctuate from period to period and are dependent upon many factors, of which the main drivers are the global market, customer demand and economic growth. Positive or negative changes to our revenue, through fluctuations in sales volumes or selling prices, can have a direct impact to Segment Margin, Net Income and Available Cash before Reserves as these fluctuations have a lesser impact to operating costs due to the fact that a portion of our costs are fixed in nature. Our costs, of which some are variable in nature and others are fixed in nature, relate primarily to the processing and producing of soda ash (and other alkali specialty products) and marketing and selling activities. In addition, costs include activities associated with mining and extracting trona ore, including energy costs and employee compensation. In our Alkali Business, during the 2020 Quarter as noted above, we had negative effects to our revenues (with a lesser impact to costs) due to lower export pricing and lower sales volumes of soda ash during the 2020 Quarter due to lower economic and market demand. For additional information, see our segment-by-segment analysis below.

In addition to our crude oil marketing business and Alkali 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 sulfur services business, which is one of the leading producers and marketers of NaHS in North and South America; 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 98% of the volumes transported on our onshore crude pipelines, and refiners contract for approximately 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.

Segment Margin

The contribution of each of our segments to total Segment Margin in the 2020 Quarter and the 2019 Quarter was as follows:

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. See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" for further discussion surrounding total Segment Margin.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2020 Compared with Three Months Ended March 31, 2019

Offshore pipeline transportation Segment Margin for the first three months of 2020 increased $8.9 million, or 12%, from the first three months of 2019, primarily due to higher volumes on our crude oil pipeline systems. These increased volumes are primarily the result of first oil flow from the Buckskin and Hadrian North production fields during the second quarter of 2019, both of which are fully dedicated to our SEKCO pipeline, and further downstream, our Poseidon oil pipeline system. Additionally, during the second half of 2019, we entered into agreements to move sixty thousand barrels per day on either CHOPS or Poseidon that are delivered to us by a third-party pipeline that has insufficient capacity. These agreements contain ship-or-pay provisions, have terms as long as five years and required no additional capital on our part.

We expect to see these increased volumes, outside of any unplanned downtime or our normal planned maintenance activities during the year, throughout 2020 as our newer projects continue to ramp. Additionally, we expect additional volumes throughout 2020 from the recently announced production dedication from Katmai and our previously contracted Atlantis Phase III development, which are both scheduled to come on-line during 2020.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2020 Compared with Three Months Ended March 31, 2019

Sodium minerals and sulfur services Segment Margin for the first three months of 2020 decreased $21.7 million, or 37% from the first three months of 2019. This decrease is primarily due to lower volumes and pricing in our Alkali Business and lower NaHS volumes in our refinery services business. During the 2020 Quarter, we experienced lower export pricing due to supply and demand imbalances that existed at the time of our re-contracting phase in December 2019 and January 2020, which is expected to continue, to some extent, for the rest of 2020 and until we re-contract such pricing at the end of the year for 2021 volumes. This was coupled with lower domestic sales of soda ash during the 2020 Quarter. We expect to see lower soda ash sales volumes in the next few quarters as a result of COVID-19 and until restrictions are lifted globally. In our refinery services business, we experienced a decline in NaHS volumes during the 2020 Quarter due to lower demand from certain of our domestic mining and pulp and paper customers. Costs impacting the results of our sodium minerals and sulfur services segment include costs associated with processing and producing soda ash (and other alkali specialty 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).

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

Table of Contents


•	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. When we purchase and store crude oil during periods of contango, we attempt to limit direct commodity price risk by simultaneously entering into a contract to sell the inventory in a future period, either with a counterparty or in the crude oil futures market. In April 2020, crude oil price markets were in contango, so we anticipate that opportunities will exist to profit from this strategy for at least the next quarter.

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.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2020 Compared with Three Months Ended March 31, 2019

Onshore facilities and transportation Segment Margin for the first three months of 2020 increased by $2.5 million, or 10%, from the first three months of 2019. This increase is primarily due to increased volumes on our Texas and Louisiana crude oil pipeline systems, and slightly increased overall volumes at our rail unload facilities. During the 2020 Quarter, we were able to recognize incremental margin on the increased volumes on our Texas system as our main customer utilized all of its prepaid transportation credits during 2019. Additionally, our pipeline, rail and terminal assets in the Baton Rouge corridor had significantly higher volumes during the 2020 Quarter as the 2019 Quarter was negatively impacted by production curtailments imposed by the government of Alberta. These increases were partially offset by lower volumes at our Raceland rail facility during the 2020 Quarter. Due to the significant decline in crude oil prices and the collapse in the differential of Western Canadian Select (WCS) to the Gulf Coast, which has made crude-by-rail to the Gulf Coast uneconomic, we are currently anticipating volume throughput at our Baton Rouge facilities will be below our minimum take-or-pay levels throughout the rest of 2020 and we would expect to recognize our minimum volume commitment in segment margin during the related periods.

Marine transportation Segment Margin for the first three months of 2020 increased $6.1 million, or 47%, from the first three months of 2019. During the 2020 Quarter, in our offshore barge operation, we benefited from the continual improving rates in the spot and short term markets along with reported utilization level of 99.4%. In our inland business, we continued to see increased day rates throughout the period which more than offset the slightly lower utilization reported. 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 have yet to fully recover from their cyclical lows.

Total depreciation, depletion, and amortization expense decreased $3.3 million during the 2020 Quarter. This decrease is primarily due to the 2019 Quarter including an increase in depreciation charges associated with one of our non-core gas offshore assets in which the abandonment timing was accelerated, and a slight decrease in amortization expense. This was partially offset by an overall increase in our depreciable asset base due to our continued growth and maintenance capital expenditures and placing new assets into service during 2019 and 2020.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2020 Compared with Three Months Ended March 31, 2019

Net interest expense decreased $0.7 million during the 2020 Quarter primarily due to a lower average outstanding balance and interest rate on our revolving credit facility during the period. The decline in our interest rate during the 2020 Quarter is due to the decrease in LIBOR rates during the period, which is one of the main drivers of interest expense on our credit facility. These decreases were partially offset by higher interest expense during the period on our senior unsecured notes. On January 16, 2020, we issued our $750 million 2028 Notes that accrue interest at 7.75% and we purchased and extinguished $527.9 million of our $750 million 2022 Notes that accrued interest at 6.75% on January 15, 2020 through our tender offer and we redeemed the remaining $222.1 million of our 2022 Notes on February 16, 2020.

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 March 31, 2020, our balance sheet and liquidity position remained strong, including $721.5 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.

Table of Contents

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.

At March 31, 2020, our long-term debt totaled approximately $3.4 billion, consisting of $977.4 million outstanding under our credit facility (including $7.7 million borrowed under the inventory sublimit tranche) and $2.5 billion of senior unsecured notes, comprising $400 million carrying amount due on May 15, 2023, $349 million carrying amount due on June 15, 2024, $550 million carrying amount due October 2025, $447 million carrying amount due May 2026, and $750 million carrying amount due February 15, 2028.

On September 23, 2019, we announced the expansion of our existing Granger facility (the "Granger Optimization Project" or "GOP"). We entered into agreements with GSO for the purchase of up to approximately $350 million of preferred units of Alkali Holdings. The proceeds received from GSO will fund up to 100% of the anticipated cost of the GOP. On April 14, 2020, we entered into an amendment to our agreements with GSO to, among other things, extend the construction timeline of the Granger expansion project by one year. The extended completion date of the project is mid to late 2023. The Alkali Holdings preferred unitholders will receive PIK distributions in lieu of cash distributions during the new anticipated construction period. As of March 31, 2020 we had issued $130 million of Alkali Holdings preferred units to be used to fund the construction. The expansion is expected to increase our production at the Granger facilities by approximately 750,000 tons per year.

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. 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 March 31, 2020, 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 and asset retirement obligations (if any). 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.

Table of Contents

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 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 three months ended March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019.

Net cash flows provided by our operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2020 were $89.6 million compared to $114.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. This decrease is primarily attributable to transaction costs incurred during the 2020 Quarter associated with the tender and redemption of our 2022 Notes.

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 and to opportunistically repurchase our outstanding senior unsecured notes.

Capital Expenditures

A summary of our expenditures for fixed assets, business and other asset acquisitions for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019 is as follows:

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. We entered into agreements with GSO for the purchase of up to approximately $350 million of preferred units of Alkali Holdings. The proceeds received from GSO will fund up to 100% of the anticipated cost of the GOP. On April 14, 2020, we entered into an amendment to our agreements with GSO to, among other things, extend the construction timeline of the Granger expansion project by one year. The extended completion date of the project is mid to late 2023. The Alkali Holdings preferred unitholders will receive PIK distributions in lieu of cash distributions during the new anticipated construction period. As of March 31, 2020 we had issued $130 million of Alkali Holdings preferred units to be used to fund the construction. The expansion is expected to increase our production at the Granger facilities by approximately 750,000 tons per year.

Except for the Granger Optimization Project, we do not anticipate spending material growth capital expenditures on any individual projects during 2020.

Maintenance Capital Expenditures

Maintenance capital expenditures incurred during the 2020 Quarter primarily relate to expenditures in our Alkali Business and in our marine transportation segment. Our Alkali Business, which is included in our sodium minerals and sulfur services segment, incurs expenditures to maintain its equipment and facilities 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 May 15, 2020, we will pay a distribution of $0.15 per common unit totaling $18.4 million with respect to the 2020 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, we declared a quarterly cash distribution of $0.7374 per Class A Convertible Preferred Unit (or $2.9496 on an annualized basis) for each Class A Convertible Preferred Unit held of record. These distributions will be payable on May 15, 2020 to unitholders of record at the close of business on May 1, 2020.

Guarantor Summarized 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 (the "Guarantor Subsidiaries), except the subsidiaries that hold our Alkali Business (collectively, the "Alkali Subsidiaries"), Genesis Free State Pipeline, LLC, Genesis NEJD Pipeline, LLC, and certain other 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. The Guarantor Subsidiaries largely own the assets that we use to operate our business other than our Alkali Business. As a general rule, the assets and credit of our unrestricted subsidiaries are not available to satisfy the debts of Genesis Energy, L.P., Genesis Energy Finance Corporation or the Guarantor Subsidiaries, and the liabilities of our unrestricted subsidiaries do not constitute obligations of Genesis Energy, L.P., Genesis Energy Finance Corporation or the Guarantor Subsidiaries except, in the case of Alkali Holdings and Genesis Energy, L.P., to the extent agreed to in the Services Agreement. Genesis Energy Finance Corporation has no independent assets or operations. See Note 9 for additional information regarding our consolidated debt obligations.

The guarantees are senior unsecured obligations of each Guarantor Subsidiary and rank equally in right of payment with other existing and future senior indebtedness of such Guarantor Subsidiary, and senior in right of payment to all existing and future subordinated indebtedness of such Guarantor Subsidiary. The guarantee of our senior unsecured notes by each Guarantor Subsidiary is subject to certain automatic customary releases, including in connection with the sale, disposition or transfer of all of the capital stock, or of all or substantially all of the assets, of such Guarantor Subsidiary to one or more persons that are not us or a restricted subsidiary, the exercise of legal defeasance or covenant defeasance options, the satisfaction and discharge of the indentures governing our senior unsecured notes, the designation of such Guarantor Subsidiary as a non-guarantor restricted subsidiary or as an unrestricted subsidiary in accordance with the indentures governing our senior unsecured notes, the release of such Guarantor Subsidiary from its guarantee under our senior secured credit facility, or liquidation or dissolution of such Guarantor Subsidiary (collectively, the “Releases”). The obligations of each Guarantor Subsidiary under its note guarantee are limited as necessary to prevent such note guarantee from constituting a fraudulent conveyance under applicable law. We are not restricted from making investments in the Guarantor Subsidiaries and there are no significant restrictions on the ability of the Guarantor Subsidiaries to make distributions to Genesis Energy, L.P.

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

Table of Contents

measures such as net income, operating income, cash flow from operating activities or any other GAAP measure of liquidity or financial performance.

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.

Table of Contents

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 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.

Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments

There have been no material changes to the commitments and obligations reflected in our Annual Report.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements, special purpose entities, or financing partnerships, other than as disclosed under “Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments” in our Annual Report, nor do we have any debt or equity triggers based upon our unit or commodity prices.

Our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, with the participation of our management, have evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and have determined that such disclosure controls and procedures are effective in ensuring that material information required to be disclosed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is accumulated and communicated to them and our management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

There were no changes during the first quarter of 2020 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

Information with respect to this item has been incorporated by reference from our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. There have been no material developments in legal proceedings since the filing of such Form 10-K.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Except as described below, there has been no material change in our risk factors as previously disclosed in our Annual Report.

As part of the filing of this Form 10-Q, we intend to revise, clarify and supplement our risk factors, including those contained in the Annual Report. The risk factor below should be considered together with the other risk factors described in the Annual Report and filings with the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, after the Annual Report.

For additional information about our risk factors, see Item 1A of our Annual Report, as well as any risk factors contained in other filings with the SEC, including Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K and Form 8-K/A and other documents that we may file from time to time with the SEC.

The widespread outbreak of an illness, pandemic (like COVID-19) or any other public health crisis may have material adverse effects on our business, financial position, results of operations and/or cash flows.

In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus (SARS-Cov-2), which causes COVID-19, was reported to have surfaced in China. The spread of this virus has caused business disruption, including disruption to the oil and natural gas and industrial industries. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of COVID-19 to be a pandemic, and the U.S. economy began to experience pronounced effects. The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted the global economy, disrupted global supply chains, reduced global demand for oil and gas, petroleum products and industrial products, and created significant volatility and disruption of financial and commodity markets. The extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our operational and financial performance, including our ability to execute our business strategies and initiatives in the expected time frame, is uncertain and depends on various factors, including the demand for oil and natural gas, petroleum products and industrial products (including the impact that reductions in travel, manufacturing and consumer product demand have had and will have on the demand for commodities), the availability of personnel, equipment and services critical to our ability to operate our assets and the impact of potential governmental restrictions on travel, transportation and operations. There is uncertainty around the extent and duration of the disruption. The degree to which the COVID-19 pandemic or any other public health crisis adversely impacts our results will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted. These developments include, but are not limited to, the duration and spread of the outbreak, its severity, the actions to contain the virus or treat its impact, its impact on the economy and market conditions, and how quickly and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions can resume. These potential impacts, while uncertain, could adversely affect our operating results.
