FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws. All statements, other than statements of historical fact included in this Form 10-Q, including, but not limited to, statements regarding funding of capital expenditures and distributions, distributable cash flow coverage and leverage targets, and statements under “Results of Operations” and “Liquidity and Capital Resources” in Item 2 “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Part I are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements use words such as “anticipate,” “project,” “expect,” “will,” “plan,” “goal,” “forecast,” “intend,” “strategy,” “should,” “would,” “could,” “believe,” “may,” and similar expressions and statements regarding our plans and objectives for future operations are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements are based on our beliefs and assumptions and those of our general partner using currently available information and expectations as of the date hereof, are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks and uncertainties. Although we and our general partner believe that such expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, neither we nor our general partner can give assurance that our expectations will prove to be correct. All statements concerning our expectations for future results of operations are based on forecasts for our existing operations and do not include the potential impact of any future acquisitions. Our forward-looking statements are subject to a variety of risks, uncertainties and assumptions. If one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or if underlying assumptions prove incorrect, our actual results may vary materially from those anticipated, estimated, projected or expected. Certain factors could cause actual results to differ materially from results anticipated in the forward-looking statements. These factors include, but are not limited to:

•the negotiation and execution, and the terms and conditions, of a definitive agreement relating to the non-binding proposal we received from HF Sinclair to acquire all of the outstanding common units of HEP not beneficially owned by HF Sinclair or its affiliates in exchange for shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share of HF Sinclair (the “Proposed HF Sinclair Transaction”) and the ability of HF Sinclair or HEP to enter into or consummate such agreement;

•the risk that the Proposed HF Sinclair Transaction does not occur;

•negative effects from the pendency of the Proposed HF Sinclair Transaction;

•failure to obtain the required approvals for the Proposed HF Sinclair Transaction;

•the time required to consummate the Proposed HF Sinclair Transaction;

•the focus of management time and attention on the Proposed HF Sinclair Transaction and other disruptions arising from the Proposed HF Sinclair Transaction;

•the demand for and supply of crude oil and refined products, including uncertainty regarding the effects of the continuing COVID-19 pandemic on future demand and increasing societal expectations that companies address climate change;

•risks and uncertainties with respect to the actual quantities of petroleum products and crude oil shipped on our pipelines and/or terminalled, stored or throughput in our terminals and refinery processing units;

•the economic viability of HF Sinclair Corporation (“HF Sinclair”), our other customers and our joint ventures’ other customers, including any refusal or inability of our or our joint ventures’ customers or counterparties to perform their obligations under their contracts;

•the demand for refined petroleum products in the markets we serve;

•our ability to purchase operations and integrate the operations we have acquired or may acquire, including the acquired Sinclair Transportation Company LLC business;

•our ability to complete previously announced or contemplated acquisitions;

•the availability and cost of additional debt and equity financing;

•the possibility of temporary or permanent reductions in production or shutdowns at refineries utilizing our pipelines, terminal facilities and refinery processing units, due to reductions in demand, accidents, unexpected leaks or spills, unscheduled shutdowns, infection in the workforce, weather events, civil unrest, expropriation of assets, and other economic, diplomatic, legislative, or political events or developments, terrorism, cyberattacks, or other catastrophes or disruptions affecting our operations, terminal facilities, machinery, pipelines and other logistics assets, equipment, or information systems, or any of the foregoing of our suppliers, customers, or third-party providers or lower gross margins due to the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, inflation and labor costs, and any potential asset

impairments resulting from, or the failure to have adequate insurance coverage for or receive insurance recoveries from, such actions;

•the effects of current and future government regulations and policies, including the effects of current and future restrictions on various commercial and economic activities in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and increases in interest rates;

•delay by government authorities in issuing permits necessary for our business or our capital projects;

•our and our joint venture partners’ ability to complete and maintain operational efficiency in carrying out routine operations and capital construction projects;

•the possibility of terrorist or cyberattacks and the consequences of any such attacks;

•uncertainty regarding the effects and duration of global hostilities, including the Russia-Ukraine war, and any associated military campaigns which may disrupt crude oil supplies and markets for refined products and create instability in the financial markets that could restrict our ability to raise capital;

•general economic conditions, including economic slowdowns caused by a local or national recession or other adverse economic condition, such as periods of increased or prolonged inflation;

•the impact of recent or proposed changes in the tax laws and regulations that affect master limited partnerships; and

•other financial, operational and legal risks and uncertainties detailed from time to time in our Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) filings.

Cautionary statements identifying important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations are set forth in this Form 10-Q, including, without limitation, the forward-looking statements that are referred to above. You should not put any undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. When considering forward-looking statements, you should keep in mind the risk factors and other cautionary statements set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, and in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” All forward-looking statements included in this Form 10-Q and all subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by these cautionary statements. The forward-looking statements speak only as of the date made and, other than as required by law, we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Note 1:Description of Business and Presentation of Financial Statements

Holly Energy Partners, L.P. (“HEP”), together with its consolidated subsidiaries, is a publicly held master limited partnership. We commenced operations on July 13, 2004, upon the completion of our initial public offering. On March 14, 2022 (the “Closing Date”), HollyFrontier Corporation (“HFC”) and HEP announced the establishment of HF Sinclair Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“HF Sinclair”), as the new parent holding company of HFC and HEP and their subsidiaries, and the completion of their respective acquisitions of Sinclair Oil Corporation (now known as Sinclair Oil LLC (“Sinclair Oil”)) and Sinclair Transportation Company LLC (“Sinclair Transportation”) from REH Company (formerly known as The Sinclair Companies, and referred to herein as “REH Company”). On the Closing Date, pursuant to that certain Business Combination Agreement, dated as of August 2, 2021 (as amended on March 14, 2022, the “Business Combination Agreement”), by and among HFC, HF Sinclair, Hippo Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of HF Sinclair (“Parent Merger Sub”), REH Company, and Hippo Holding LLC (now known as Sinclair Holding LLC), a wholly owned subsidiary of REH Company (the “Target Company”), HF Sinclair completed its acquisition of the Target Company by effecting (a) a holding company merger in accordance with Section 251(g) of the Delaware General Corporation Law whereby HFC merged with and into Parent Merger Sub, with HFC surviving such merger as a direct wholly owned subsidiary of HF Sinclair (the “HFC Merger”), and (b) immediately following the HFC Merger, a contribution whereby REH Company contributed all of the equity interests of the Target Company to HF Sinclair in exchange for shares of HF Sinclair, resulting in the Target Company becoming a direct wholly owned subsidiary of HF Sinclair (together with the HFC Merger, the “HFC Transactions”).

As of March 31, 2023, HF Sinclair and its subsidiaries owned a 47% limited partner interest and the non-economic general partner interest in HEP.

In connection with the closing of the HFC Transactions, HF Sinclair issued 60,230,036 shares of HF Sinclair common stock to REH Company, representing 27% of the pro forma equity of HF Sinclair with a value of approximately $2,149 million based on HFC’s fully diluted shares of common stock outstanding and closing stock price on March 11, 2022. References herein to HF Sinclair with respect to time periods prior to March 14, 2022 refer to HFC and its consolidated subsidiaries and do not include the Target Company, Sinclair Transportation or their respective consolidated subsidiaries. References herein to HF Sinclair with respect to time periods from and after March 14, 2022 refer to HF Sinclair and its consolidated subsidiaries, which includes the combined business operations of HFC, the Target Company, Sinclair Transportation and their respective consolidated subsidiaries.

Additionally, on the Closing Date, pursuant to that certain Contribution Agreement, dated August 2, 2021 (as amended on March 14, 2022, the “Contribution Agreement”) by and among REH Company, Sinclair Transportation and HEP, HEP acquired all of the outstanding equity interests of Sinclair Transportation from REH Company in exchange for 21 million newly issued common limited partner units of HEP (the “HEP Units”), representing 16.6% of the pro forma outstanding HEP Units with a value of approximately $349 million based on HEP’s fully diluted common limited partner units outstanding and closing unit price on March 11, 2022, and cash consideration equal to $329.0 million, inclusive of final working capital adjustments pursuant to the Contribution Agreement for an aggregate transaction value of $678.0 million (the “HEP Transaction” and together with the HFC Transactions, the “Sinclair Transactions”). Of the 21 million HEP Units, 5.29 million units were originally held in escrow to secure REH Company’s renewable identification numbers (“RINs”) credit obligations to HF Sinclair under Section 6.22 of the Business Combination Agreement. The HEP units held in escrow were released to REH Company in April 2023 upon their satisfaction of the RINs credit obligations relating thereto. The cash consideration was funded through a draw under HEP’s senior secured revolving credit facility. The HEP Transaction was conditioned on the closing of the HFC Transactions, which occurred immediately following the HEP Transaction.

Sinclair Transportation, which together with its subsidiaries, owns integrated crude and refined products pipelines and terminal assets, including approximately 1,200 miles of integrated crude and refined product pipeline supporting the Target Company refineries and other third party refineries, eight product terminals and two crude terminals with approximately 4.5 million barrels of operated storage. In addition, HEP acquired Sinclair Transportation’s interests in three pipeline joint ventures for crude gathering and product offtake.

- 9 -

References herein to HEP with respect to time periods prior to March 14, 2022, include HEP and its consolidated subsidiaries and do not include Sinclair Transportation and its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively, the “Acquired Sinclair Businesses”). References herein to HEP with respect to time periods from and after March 14, 2022 include the operations of the Acquired Sinclair Businesses.

Through our subsidiaries and joint ventures, we own and/or operate petroleum product and crude oil pipelines, terminal, tankage and loading rack facilities and refinery processing units that support refining and marketing operations of HF Sinclair and other refineries in the Mid-Continent, Southwest and Northwest regions of the United States. Additionally, we own (a) a 50% interest in Osage Pipe Line Company, LLC (“Osage”), (b) a 50% interest in Cheyenne Pipeline LLC, (c) a 50% interest in Cushing Connect Pipeline & Terminal LLC, (d) a 25.06% interest in Saddle Butte Pipeline III, LLC and (e) a 49.995% interest in Pioneer Investments Corp. Following the HEP Transaction, we now own the remaining 25% interest in UNEV Pipeline, LLC (“UNEV”) and as a result, UNEV is our wholly owned subsidiary.

We operate in two reportable segments, a Pipelines and Terminals segment and a Refinery Processing Unit segment. Disclosures around these segments are discussed in Note 16.

We generate revenues by charging tariffs for transporting petroleum products and crude oil through our pipelines, by charging fees for terminalling and storing refined products and other hydrocarbons, providing other services at our storage tanks and terminals and by charging a tolling fee per barrel or thousand standard cubic feet of feedstock throughput in our refinery processing units. We do not take ownership of products that we transport, terminal, store or process, and therefore, we are not exposed directly to changes in commodity prices.

The consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. The interim financial statements reflect all adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of our results for the interim periods. Such adjustments are considered to be of a normal recurring nature. Although certain notes and other information required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted, we believe that the disclosures in these consolidated financial statements are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that will be realized for the year ending December 31, 2023.

Principles of Consolidation and Common Control Transactions

The consolidated financial statements include our accounts and those of subsidiaries and joint ventures that we control. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

Most of our acquisitions from HFC occurred while we were a consolidated variable interest entity (“VIE”) of HFC. Therefore, as an entity under common control with HFC, we recorded these acquisitions on our balance sheets at HFC's historical basis instead of our purchase price or fair value.

Goodwill and Long-lived Assets

Goodwill represents the excess of our cost of an acquired business over the fair value of the assets acquired, less liabilities assumed. Goodwill is not subject to amortization and is tested annually or more frequently if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. Our goodwill impairment testing first entails either a quantitative assessment or an optional qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If we determine that based on the qualitative factors that it is more likely than not that the carrying amount of the reporting unit is greater than its fair value, a quantitative test is performed in which we estimate the fair value of the related reporting unit. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the goodwill of that reporting unit is impaired, and we measure goodwill impairment as the excess of the carrying amount of the reporting unit over the related fair value.

We evaluate long-lived assets, including finite-lived intangible assets, for potential impairment by identifying whether indicators of impairment exist and, if so, assessing whether the long-lived assets are recoverable from estimated future undiscounted cash flows. The actual amount of impairment loss, if any, to be recorded is equal to the amount by which a long-lived asset’s carrying value exceeds its fair value.

Revenue Recognition

Revenues are generally recognized as products are shipped through our pipelines and terminals, feedstocks are processed through our refinery processing units or other services are rendered. The majority of our contracts with customers meet the definition of a lease since (1) performance of the contracts is dependent on specified property, plant, or equipment and (2) it is remote that one or more parties other than the customer will take more than a minor amount of the output associated with the specified property, plant, or equipment. The lease standard (see below) allows the election of a practical expedient whereby a lessor does not have to separate non-lease (service) components from lease components for operating leases under certain conditions. We have made this election for contracts with operating leases. Under this practical expedient, we treat the combined components as a single performance obligation in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, which largely codified ASU 2014-09, if the non-lease (service) component is the dominant component. If the lease component is the dominant component, we treat the combined components as a lease in accordance with ASC 842, which largely codified ASU 2016-02. The practical expedient does not apply for sales-type leases. Therefore, we bifurcate the consideration received for those contracts between lease and service components. The service component is accounted for within the scope of ASC 606.

Several of our contracts include incentive or reduced tariffs once a certain quarterly volume is met. Revenue from the variable element of these transactions is recognized based on the actual volumes shipped as it relates specifically to rendering the services during the applicable quarter.

The majority of our long-term transportation contracts specify minimum volume requirements, whereby, we bill a customer for a minimum level of shipments in the event a customer ships below their contractual requirements. If there are no future performance obligations, we will recognize these deficiency payments in revenue.

In certain of these throughput agreements, a customer may later utilize such shortfall billings as credit towards future volume shipments in excess of its minimum levels within its respective contractual shortfall make-up period. Such amounts represent an obligation to perform future services, which may be initially deferred and later recognized as revenue based on estimated future shipping levels, including the likelihood of a customer’s ability to utilize such amounts prior to the end of the contractual shortfall make-up period. We recognize these deficiency payments in revenue when we do not expect we will be required to satisfy these performance obligations in the future based on the pattern of rights projected to be exercised by the customer. During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, we recognized $4.8 million and $5.2 million, respectively, of these deficiency payments in revenue, of which $0.9 million of the deficiency payments recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2022, related to deficiency payments billed in prior periods.

We have other cost reimbursement provisions in our throughput / storage agreements providing that customers (including HF Sinclair) reimburse us for certain costs. Such reimbursements are recorded as revenue or deferred revenue depending on the nature of the cost. Deferred revenue is recognized over the remaining contractual term of the related throughput agreement.

Leases

We adopted ASC 842 effective January 1, 2019, and elected to adopt using the modified retrospective transition method and practical expedients, both of which are provided as options by the standard and further defined below.

Lessee Accounting

At inception, we determine if an arrangement is or contains a lease. Right-of-use assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term, and lease liabilities represent our payment obligation under the leasing arrangement. Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. We use our estimated incremental borrowing rate (“IBR”) to determine the present value of lease payments as most of our leases do not contain an implicit rate. Our IBR represents the interest rate which we would pay to borrow, on a collateralized basis, an amount equal to the lease payments over a similar term in a similar economic environment. We use the implicit rate when readily determinable.

Operating leases are recorded in operating lease right-of-use assets and current and noncurrent operating lease liabilities on our consolidated balance sheet. Finance leases are included in properties and equipment, current finance lease liabilities and noncurrent finance lease liabilities on our consolidated balance sheet.

When renewal options are defined in a lease, our lease term includes an option to extend the lease when it is reasonably certain we will exercise that option. Leases with a term of 12 months or less are not recorded on our balance sheet, and lease expense is

- 11 -

accounted for on a straight-line basis. In addition, as a lessee, we separate non-lease components that are identifiable and exclude them from the determination of net present value of lease payment obligations.

Lessor Accounting

Customer contracts that contain leases are generally classified as either operating leases, direct finance leases or sales-type leases. We consider inputs such as the lease term, fair value of the underlying asset and residual value of the underlying assets when assessing the classification.

Deferred Turnaround Costs

Our refinery processing units require regular major maintenance and repairs which are commonly referred to as “turnarounds.” The required frequency of the maintenance varies by unit, but generally is every four to five years. Turnaround costs are deferred and amortized over the period until the next scheduled turnaround.

Note 2:Sinclair Acquisition

HEP Transaction

On March 14, 2022, pursuant to the Contribution Agreement, HEP acquired all of the outstanding equity interests of Sinclair Transportation in exchange for 21 million newly issued HEP Units, representing 16.6% of the pro forma outstanding HEP Units with a value of approximately $349 million based on HEP’s fully diluted common limited partner units outstanding and closing unit price on March 11, 2022, and cash consideration equal to $329.0 million, inclusive of final working capital adjustments pursuant to the Contribution Agreement for an aggregate transaction value of $678.0 million. On the same date and immediately following the consummation of the HEP Transaction, pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, REH Company contributed all of the equity interests of the Target Company to HF Sinclair in exchange for 60,230,036 shares of common stock in HF Sinclair, representing 27% of the pro forma equity of HF Sinclair with a value of approximately $2,149 million based on HF Sinclair’s fully diluted shares of common stock outstanding and closing stock price on March 11, 2022.

On August 2, 2021, in connection with the Contribution Agreement, HEP, Holly Logistic Services, L.L.C., the ultimate general partner of HEP (“HLS”) and Navajo Pipeline Co., L.P., the sole member of HLS (the “Sole Member”), entered into a unitholders agreement (the “Unitholders Agreement”) by and among HEP, HLS, the Sole Member, REH Company and the stockholders of REH Company (each a “Unitholder” and collectively, the “Unitholders,” and along with REH Company and each of their permitted transferees, the “REH Parties”), which became effective on the Closing Date.

Pursuant to the Unitholders Agreement, the REH Parties have the right to nominate, and have nominated, one person to the board of directors of HLS until such time that (x) the REH Parties beneficially own less than 10.5 million HEP Units or (y) the HEP Units beneficially owned by the REH Parties constitute less than 5% of all outstanding HEP Units. The Unitholders Agreement also subjects 15.75 million of the HEP Units issued to the REH Parties (the “Restricted Units”) to a “lock-up” period commencing on the Closing Date, during which the REH Parties are prohibited from selling the Restricted Units, except for certain permitted transfers. One-third of such Restricted Units were released from such restrictions on the date that was six months after the closing, one-third of the Restricted Units were released from such restrictions on the first anniversary of the Closing Date, and the remainder will be released from such restrictions on the date that is 15 months from the Closing Date.

Under the terms of the Contribution Agreement, HEP acquired Sinclair Transportation, which together with its subsidiaries, owned REH Company’s integrated crude and refined products pipelines and terminal assets, including approximately 1,200 miles of integrated crude and refined product pipelines supporting the REH Company refineries and other third-party refineries, eight product terminals and two crude terminals with approximately 4.5 million barrels of operated storage. In addition, HEP acquired Sinclair Transportation’s interests in three pipeline joint ventures for crude gathering and product offtake including: Saddle Butte Pipeline III, LLC (25.06% non-operated interest); Pioneer Investments Corp. (49.995% non-operated interest); and UNEV (the 25% non-operated interest not already owned by HEP, resulting in UNEV becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of HEP).

The HEP Transaction was accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting, with the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their respective acquisition date fair values at the Closing Date, with the excess consideration recorded as goodwill. The purchase price allocation resulted in the recognition of $119.1 million in goodwill.

The following tables present the purchase consideration and final purchase price allocation to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed on March 14, 2022:


Purchase Consideration (in thousands except for per share amounts)
HEP common units issued	21,000
Closing price per unit of HEP common units(1)	$	16.62
Purchase consideration paid in HEP common units	349,020

Noncurrent operating lease liabilities	72
Other long-term liabilities	14,984
Total liabilities assumed	$	18,379
Net assets acquired	$	677,975

The fair value of properties, plants and equipment was based on the combination of the cost and market approaches. Key assumptions in the cost approach include determining the replacement cost by evaluating recently published data and adjusting replacement cost for physical deterioration, functional and economic obsolescence. We used the market approach to measure the value of certain assets through an analysis of recent sales or offerings of comparable properties.

- 13 -

The fair value of the equity method investments were based on a combination of valuation methods including discounted cash flows and the guideline public company method.

The fair values discussed above were based on significant inputs that are not observable in the market and, therefore, represent Level 3 measurements. See Note 6.

The fair values of all other current receivable and payables were equivalent to their carrying values due to their short-term nature.

For the three months ended March 31, 2023, we incurred $0.5 million in incremental direct acquisition and integration costs that principally relate to legal, advisory and other professional fees and are presented as general and administrative expenses in our statements of operations.

The following unaudited pro forma combined condensed financial data for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was derived from our historical financial statements giving effect to the HEP Transaction as if it had occurred on January 1, 2021. The below information reflects pro forma adjustments based on available information and certain assumptions that we believe are reasonable, including the depreciation of Sinclair Transportation’s fair-valued properties, plants and equipment.

Additionally, pro forma earnings include certain non-recurring charges, the substantial majority of which consist of transaction costs related to financial advisors, legal advisors, financial advisory and professional accounting services.

The pro forma results of operations do not include any contract adjustments to tariffs made after closing, cost savings or other synergies that may result from the HEP Transaction. The pro forma combined condensed financial data has been included for comparative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the results that might have occurred had the HEP Transaction taken place on January 1, 2021 and is not intended to be a projection of future results.

Contemporaneous with the closing of the Sinclair Transactions, HEP and HFC amended certain intercompany agreements, including the master throughput agreement, to include within the scope of such agreements certain of the assets acquired by HEP pursuant to the Contribution Agreement.

Note 3:Cushing Connect Joint Venture

On October 2, 2019, HEP Cushing LLC (“HEP Cushing”), a wholly owned subsidiary of HEP, and Plains Marketing, L.P. (“PMLP”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. (“Plains”), formed a 50/50 joint venture, Cushing Connect Pipeline & Terminal LLC (the “Cushing Connect Joint Venture”), for (i) the development and construction of a new 160,000 barrel per day common carrier crude oil pipeline (the “Cushing Connect Pipeline”) that connected the Cushing, Oklahoma crude oil hub to the Tulsa, Oklahoma refining complex owned by a subsidiary of HF Sinclair and (ii) the ownership and operation of 1.5 million barrels of crude oil storage in Cushing, Oklahoma (the “Cushing Connect JV Terminal”). The Cushing Connect JV Terminal went in service during the second quarter of 2020, and the Cushing Connect Pipeline was placed into service during the third quarter of 2021. Long-term commercial agreements have been entered into to support the Cushing Connect Joint Venture assets. The Cushing Connect Joint Venture has contracted with an affiliate of HEP to manage the operation of the Cushing Connect Pipeline and with an affiliate of Plains to manage the operation of the Cushing Connect JV Terminal.

The Cushing Connect Joint Venture legal entities are variable interest entities (“VIEs”) as defined under GAAP. A legal entity is a VIE if it has any one of the following characteristics: (i) the entity does not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support; (ii) the at risk equity holders, as a group, lack the

- 14 -

characteristics of a controlling financial interest; or (iii) the entity is structured with non-substantive voting rights. The Cushing Connect Joint Venture legal entities do not have sufficient equity at risk to finance their activities without additional financial support. Since HEP constructed and is operating the Cushing Connect Pipeline, HEP has more ability to direct the activities that most significantly impact the financial performance of the Cushing Connect Joint Venture and Cushing Connect Pipeline legal entities. Therefore, HEP consolidates those legal entities. We do not have the ability to direct the activities that most significantly impact the Cushing Connect JV Terminal legal entity, and therefore, we account for our interest in the Cushing Connect JV Terminal legal entity using the equity method of accounting. HEP’s maximum exposure to loss as a result of its involvement with the Cushing Connect JV Terminal legal entity is not expected to be material due to the long-term terminalling agreements in place to support its operations.

With the exception of the assets of HEP Cushing, creditors of the Cushing Connect Joint Venture legal entities have no recourse to our assets. Any recourse to HEP Cushing would be limited to the extent of HEP Cushing's assets, which other than its investment in Cushing Connect Joint Venture, are not significant. Furthermore, our creditors have no recourse to the assets of the Cushing Connect Joint Venture legal entities.

Lease revenues	$	87,377	$	72,914
Service revenues	55,917		47,284
	$	143,294	$	120,198

A contract liability exists when an entity is obligated to perform future services for a customer for which the entity has received consideration. Since HEP may be required to perform future services for these deficiency payments received, the deferred revenues on our balance sheets were considered contract liabilities. A contract asset exists when an entity has a right to consideration in exchange for goods or services transferred to a customer. Our consolidated balance sheets included the contract assets and liabilities in the table below:

- 15 -


	March 31, 2023		December 31, 2022
	(In thousands)
Contract assets	$	8,669	$	6,672
Contract liabilities	$	(3,274)	$	—

The contract assets and liabilities include both lease and service components. During the three months ended March 31, 2022 we recognized $0.9 million of revenue that was previously included in contract liability as of December 31, 2021. During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, we also recognized $2.1 million and $45 thousand, respectively, of revenue included in contract assets.

As of March 31, 2023, we expect to recognize $2.4 billion in revenue related to our unfulfilled performance obligations under the terms of our long-term throughput agreements and leases expiring in 2024 through 2037. These agreements generally provide for changes in the minimum revenue guarantees annually for increases or decreases in the Producer Price Index (“PPI”) or Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (“FERC”) index, with certain contracts having provisions that limit the level of the rate increases or decreases. We expect to recognize revenue for these unfulfilled performance obligations as shown in the table below (amounts shown in table include both service and lease revenues):

Remainder of 2023	$	295
2024	367
2025	284
2026	268
2027	236
2028	235

Total	$	2,375

Payment terms under our contracts with customers are consistent with industry norms and are typically payable within 10 to 30 days of the date of invoice.

Note 5:Leases

See Note 1 for further discussion of lease accounting.

Lessee Accounting

As a lessee, we lease land, buildings, pipelines, transportation and other equipment to support our operations. These leases can be categorized into operating and finance leases.

Our leases have remaining terms of less than 1 year to 22 years, some of which include options to extend the leases for up to 10 years.

Finance Lease Obligations

We have finance lease obligations related to vehicle leases with initial terms of 33 to 48 months. The total cost of assets under finance leases was $7.8 million and $7.6 million as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, with accumulated depreciation of $4.1 million and $4.0 million as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. We include depreciation of finance leases in depreciation and amortization in our consolidated statements of income.

In addition, we have a finance lease obligation related to a pipeline lease with an initial term of 10 years with one remaining subsequent renewal option for an additional 10 years.

Lessor Accounting

As discussed in Note 1, the majority of our contracts with customers meet the definition of a lease.

Substantially all of the assets supporting contracts meeting the definition of a lease have long useful lives, and we believe these assets will continue to have value when the current agreements expire due to our risk management strategy which includes performing ongoing maintenance during the lease term. HF Sinclair generally has the option to purchase assets located within HF Sinclair refinery boundaries, including refinery tankage, truck racks and refinery processing units, at fair market value when the related agreements expire.

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we amended agreements with HF Sinclair related to certain crude tank assets. The amended agreements were treated as lease modifications of previous agreements that met the criteria of sales-type leases. The modified agreements still met the criteria of sales-type leases; therefore, the residual net investment in lease is carried over to the new sales-type lease, and no gain or loss is recognized.

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we entered into new agreements and modified other agreements with HF Sinclair related to our acquired Sinclair Transportation assets. Certain of these agreements met the criteria of sales-type leases. Under sales-type lease accounting, at the commencement date, the lessor recognizes a net investment in the lease, based on the estimated fair value of the underlying leased assets at contract inception, and derecognizes the underlying assets with the difference recorded as selling profit or loss arising from the lease. Because we recorded these assets at fair values under purchase price accounting, there was no gain or loss on these sales-type leases during the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Lease revenues relating to variable lease payments not included in measurement of the sales-type lease receivable	4,579		2,939

For our sales-type leases, we bifurcate customer obligations between lease and service components. We included the lease portion of customer obligations related to minimum volume requirements in guaranteed minimum lease payments. The lease portions of our minimum guaranteed pipeline tariffs for assets subject to sales-type lease accounting are recorded as interest income with the remaining amounts recorded as a reduction in net investment in leases. We recognized the lease portion of any billings for throughput volumes in excess of minimum volume requirements as variable lease payments, and these variable lease payments were recorded in lease revenues.

Annual minimum undiscounted lease payments under our leases were as follows as of March 31, 2023:

Note 6:Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value measurements are derived using inputs (assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability) including assumptions about risk. GAAP categorizes inputs used in fair value measurements into three broad levels as follows:

•(Level 1) Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

•(Level 2) Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active or can be corroborated by observable market data.

•(Level 3) Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. This includes valuation techniques that involve significant unobservable inputs.

Financial Instruments

Our financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and debt. The carrying amounts of cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value due to the short-term maturity of these instruments. Debt consists of outstanding principal under our revolving credit agreement (which approximates fair value as interest rates are reset frequently at current interest rates) and our fixed interest rate senior notes.

The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of our senior notes were as follows:


		March 31, 2023				December 31, 2022
Financial Instrument	Fair Value Input Level	Carrying Value		Fair Value		Carrying Value		Fair Value
		(In thousands)
Liabilities:

5% Senior Notes	Level 2	$	494,305	$	468,380	$	494,047	$	458,090
6.375% Senior Notes	Level 2	394,580		398,480		394,287		394,568
Total Liabilities		$	888,885	$	866,860	$	888,334	$	852,658

Level 2 Financial Instruments

Our senior notes are measured at fair value using Level 2 inputs. The fair value of the senior notes is based on market values provided by a third-party bank, which were derived using market quotes for similar type debt instruments. See Note 10 for additional information.

- 20 -

Non-Recurring Fair Value Measurements

The HEP Transaction was accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting, with the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their respective acquisition date fair values at the Closing Date. The fair value measurements were based on a combination of valuation methods including discounted cash flows, the guideline public company method, the market approach and obsolescence adjusted replacement costs, all of which are Level 3 inputs.

For the net investments in sales-type leases recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2022, the estimated fair value of the underlying leased assets at contract inception and the present value of the estimated unguaranteed residual asset at the end of the lease term are used in determining the net investment in leases recorded. The asset valuation estimates include Level 3 inputs based on a replacement cost valuation method.

Note 7:Properties and Equipment

The carrying amounts of our properties and equipment were as follows:


	March 31, 2023		December 31, 2022
	(In thousands)
Pipelines, terminals and tankage	$	1,584,825	$	1,567,359

Depreciation expense was $20.2 million and $18.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and includes depreciation of assets acquired under capital leases.

Note 8:Intangible Assets

Intangible assets include transportation agreements and customer relationships that represent a portion of the total purchase price of certain assets acquired from Delek US Holdings, Inc. (“Delek”) in 2005, from HFC in 2008 prior to HEP becoming a consolidated VIE of HFC, from Plains in 2017, and from other minor acquisitions in 2018.

The carrying amounts of our intangible assets were as follows:


	Useful Life	March 31, 2023		December 31, 2022
		(In thousands)
Delek transportation agreement	30 years	$	59,933	$	59,933

		204,797		204,797
Less accumulated amortization		(148,586)		(145,497)
		$	56,211	$	59,300

Amortization expense was $3.1 million and $3.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. We estimate amortization expense to be $9.1 million for 2024 through 2027, and $9.0 million for 2028.

- 21 -

We have additional transportation agreements with subsidiaries of HF Sinclair resulting from historical transactions consisting of pipeline, terminal and tankage assets contributed to us or acquired from subsidiaries of HF Sinclair. These transactions occurred while we were a consolidated variable interest entity of HF Sinclair; therefore, our basis in these agreements is zero and does not reflect a step-up in basis to fair value.

Note 9:Employees, Retirement and Incentive Plans

Direct support for our operations is provided by HLS, which utilizes personnel employed by HF Sinclair who are dedicated to performing services for us. Their costs, including salaries, bonuses, payroll taxes, benefits and other direct costs, are charged to us monthly in accordance with an omnibus agreement we have with HF Sinclair (the “Omnibus Agreement”). These employees participate in the retirement and benefit plans of HF Sinclair. Our share of retirement and benefit plan costs was $3.0 million and $2.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Under HLS’s secondment agreement with HF Sinclair (the “Secondment Agreement”), certain employees of HF Sinclair are seconded to HLS to provide operational and maintenance services for certain of our processing, refining, pipeline and tankage assets, and HLS reimburses HF Sinclair for its prorated portion of the wages, benefits, and other costs related to these employees.

We have a Long-Term Incentive Plan for employees and non-employee directors who perform services for us. The Long-Term Incentive Plan consists of five components: restricted or phantom units, performance units, unit options, unit appreciation rights and cash awards. Our accounting policy for the recognition of compensation expense for awards with pro-rata vesting (a significant proportion of our awards) is to expense the costs ratably over the vesting periods.

As of March 31, 2023, we had two types of unit-based awards outstanding, which are described below. The compensation cost charged against income was $0.4 million and $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. We currently purchase units in the open market instead of issuing new units for settlement of all unit awards under our Long-Term Incentive Plan. As of March 31, 2023, 2,500,000 units were authorized to be granted under our Long-Term Incentive Plan, of which 771,313 were available to be granted, assuming no forfeitures of the unvested units and full achievement of goals for the unvested performance units.

Phantom Units

Under our Long-Term Incentive Plan, we grant phantom units to our non-employee directors and selected employees who perform services for us, with most awards vesting over a period of one to three years. Although full ownership of the units does not transfer to the recipients until the units vest, the recipients have distribution rights on these units from the date of grant.

The fair value of each phantom unit award is measured at the market price as of the date of grant and is amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for each separately vesting portion of the award.

A summary of phantom unit activity and changes during the three months ended March 31, 2023, is presented below:


Phantom Units	Units	Weighted Average Grant-Date Fair Value
Outstanding at January 1, 2023 (nonvested)	115,809	$	16.66
Granted	1,479	18.49
Vesting and transfer of full ownership to recipients	(330)	11.92
Forfeited	(804)	11.92
Outstanding at March 31, 2023 (nonvested)	116,154	16.73

The grant date fair values of phantom units that were vested and transferred to recipients during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 was $4 thousand and $39 thousand, respectively. As of March 31, 2023, $1.1 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested phantom unit grants is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.1 years.

- 22 -

Performance Units

Under our Long-Term Incentive Plan, we grant performance units to selected officers who perform services for us. Performance units granted are payable in common units at the end of a three-year performance period based upon meeting certain criteria over the performance period. Under the terms of our performance unit grants, some awards are subject to the growth in our distributable cash flow per common unit over the performance period while other awards are subject to "financial performance" and "market performance." Financial performance is based on meeting certain earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") targets, while market performance is based on the relative standing of total unitholder return achieved by HEP compared to peer group companies. The number of units ultimately issued under these awards can range from 0% to 200%.

Although common units are not transferred to the recipients until the performance units vest, the recipients have distribution rights with respect to the target number of performance units subject to the award from the date of grant at the same rate as distributions paid on our common units.

A summary of performance unit activity and changes for the three months ended March 31, 2023, is presented below:


Performance Units						Units
Outstanding at January 1, 2023 (nonvested)						42,852
Granted						513


Outstanding at March 31, 2023 (nonvested)						43,365

The grant date fair value of performance units vested and transferred to recipients during the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $0.6 million. Based on the weighted-average fair value of performance units outstanding at March 31, 2023, of $0.7 million, there was $0.5 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to nonvested performance units, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.4 years.

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we did not purchase any common units in the open market for the issuance and settlement of unit awards under our Long-Term Incentive Plan.

Note 10:Debt

Credit Agreement

We have a $1.2 billion senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Agreement”) that matures in July 2025. The Credit Agreement is available to fund capital expenditures, investments, acquisitions, distribution payments, working capital and for general partnership purposes. The Credit Agreement is also available to fund letters of credit up to a $50 million sub-limit and continues to provide for an accordion feature that allows us to increase commitments under the Credit Agreement up to a maximum amount of $1.7 billion.

Our obligations under the Credit Agreement are collateralized by substantially all of our assets, and indebtedness under the Credit Agreement is guaranteed by our material, wholly owned subsidiaries. The Credit Agreement requires us to maintain compliance with certain financial covenants consisting of total leverage, senior secured leverage, and interest coverage. It also limits or restricts our ability to engage in certain activities. If, at any time prior to the maturity of the Credit Agreement, HEP obtains two investment grade credit ratings, the Credit Agreement will become unsecured and many of the covenants, limitations, and restrictions will be eliminated.

We may prepay all loans at any time without penalty, except for tranche breakage costs. If an event of default exists under the Credit Agreement, the lenders will be able to accelerate the maturity of all loans outstanding and exercise other rights and remedies. We were in compliance with the covenants under the Credit Agreement as of March 31, 2023.

- 23 -

Senior Notes

On April 8, 2022, we closed a private placement of $400 million in aggregate principal amount of 6.375% senior unsecured notes due in 2027 (the “6.375% Senior Notes”). The 6.375% Senior Notes were issued at par for net proceeds of approximately $393 million, after deducting the initial purchasers’ discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses. The total net proceeds from the offering of the 6.375% Senior Notes were used to partially repay outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement, increasing our available liquidity.

As of March 31, 2023, we had $500 million aggregate principal amount of 5% senior unsecured notes due in 2028 (the “5% Senior Notes,” and together with the 6.375% Senior Notes, the “Senior Notes”).

The Senior Notes are unsecured and impose certain restrictive covenants, including limitations on our ability to incur additional indebtedness, make investments, sell assets, incur certain liens, pay distributions, enter into transactions with affiliates, and enter into mergers. At any time when the Senior Notes are rated investment grade by either Moody’s or Standard & Poor’s and no default or event of default exists, we will not be subject to many of the foregoing covenants. Additionally, we have certain redemption rights at varying premiums over face value under the Senior Notes.

Indebtedness under the Senior Notes is guaranteed by all of our existing wholly owned subsidiaries (other than Holly Energy Finance Corp. and certain immaterial subsidiaries).

Note 11:Related Party Transactions

We serve many of HF Sinclair’s refinery and renewable diesel facilities under long-term pipeline, terminal and tankage throughput agreements, and refinery processing unit tolling agreements expiring from 2024 to 2037, and revenues from these agreements accounted for approximately 82% of our total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Under these agreements, HF Sinclair agrees to transport, store and process throughput volumes of refined product, crude oil and feedstocks on our pipelines, terminals, tankage, loading rack facilities and refinery processing units that result in minimum annual payments to us. These minimum annual payments or revenues are generally subject to annual rate adjustments on July 1st each year based on increases or decreases in PPI or the FERC index. As of March 31, 2023, these agreements with HF Sinclair require minimum annualized payments to us of $456.6 million.

If HF Sinclair fails to meet its minimum volume commitments under the agreements in any quarter, it will be required to pay us the amount of any shortfall in cash by the last day of the month following the end of the quarter. Under certain of these agreements, a shortfall payment may be applied as a credit in the following four quarters after its minimum obligations are met.

- 24 -

Under certain provisions of the Omnibus Agreement, we pay HF Sinclair an annual administrative fee (currently $5.0 million) for the provision by HF Sinclair or its affiliates of various general and administrative services to us. This fee does not include the salaries of personnel employed by HF Sinclair who perform services for us on behalf of HLS or the cost of their employee benefits, which are charged to us separately by HF Sinclair. Also, we reimburse HF Sinclair and its affiliates for direct expenses they incur on our behalf.

Related party transactions with HF Sinclair and its subsidiaries were as follows:

•Revenues received from HF Sinclair were $116.9 million and $92.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

•HF Sinclair charged us general and administrative services under the Omnibus Agreement of $1.3 million and $0.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

•We reimbursed HF Sinclair for costs of employees supporting our operations of $20.6 million and $16.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

•HF Sinclair reimbursed us $1.3 million and $3.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, for expense and capital projects, respectively.

•We distributed $20.9 million in both the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, to HF Sinclair as regular distributions on its common units.

•Accounts receivable from HF Sinclair were $71.3 million and $63.5 million at March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, respectively.

•Accounts payable to HF Sinclair were $9.9 million and $15.8 million at March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, respectively.

•Deferred revenue in the consolidated balance sheets included at March 31, 2023 includes $3.3 million relating to certain shortfall billings to HF Sinclair.

•We received direct financing lease payments from HF Sinclair for use of our Artesia and Tulsa rail yards of $0.6 million and $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

•We received sales-type lease payments of $20.6 million and $12.6 million from HF Sinclair for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Note 12: Partners’ Equity, Income Allocations and Cash Distributions

As of March 31, 2023, HF Sinclair held 59,630,030 of our common units, constituting a 47% limited partner interest in us, and held the non-economic general partner interest.

Continuous Offering Program

We have a continuous offering program under which we may issue and sell common units from time to time, representing limited partner interests, up to an aggregate gross sales amount of $200 million. As of March 31, 2023, HEP has issued 2,413,153 units under this program, providing $82.3 million in gross proceeds, but no units have been issued under this program during the periods presented.

Allocations of Net Income

Net income attributable to HEP is allocated to the partners based on their weighted-average ownership percentage during the period.

Cash Distributions

On April 20, 2023, we announced our cash distribution for the first quarter of 2023 of $0.35 per unit. The distribution is payable on all common units and will be paid May 11, 2023, to all unitholders of record on May 1, 2023.

Our regular quarterly cash distribution to the limited partners will be $44.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and was $44.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Our distributions are declared subsequent to quarter end; therefore, these amounts do not reflect distributions paid during the respective period.

- 25 -

Note 13: Net Income Per Limited Partner Unit

Basic net income per unit applicable to the limited partners is calculated as net income attributable to the partners, adjusted for participating securities’ share in earnings, divided by the weighted average limited partners’ units outstanding. Diluted net income per unit assumes, when dilutive, the issuance of the net incremental units from phantom units and performance units. To the extent net income attributable to the partners exceeds or is less than cash distributions, this difference is allocated to the partners based on their weighted-average ownership percentage during the period. Our dilutive securities are immaterial for all periods presented.

Net income per limited partner unit is computed as follows:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2023		2022
	(In thousands, except per unit data)



Net income attributable to the partners	$	57,522	$	49,559

Weighted average limited partners’ units outstanding	126,440		109,640
Limited partners’ per unit interest in earnings - basic and diluted	$	0.45	$	0.45

Note 14:Environmental

We expensed $0.4 million and $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, for environmental remediation obligations. The accrued environmental liability, net of expected recoveries from indemnifying parties, reflected in our consolidated balance sheets was $19.8 million and $19.5 million at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, of which $17.8 million and $17.5 million was classified as other long-term liabilities for March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. These accruals include remediation and monitoring costs expected to be incurred over an extended period of time.

Under the Omnibus Agreement and certain transportation agreements and purchase agreements with HF Sinclair and/or its subsidiaries, HF Sinclair has agreed to indemnify us, subject to certain monetary and time limitations, for environmental noncompliance and remediation liabilities associated with certain assets transferred to us from HF Sinclair and its subsidiaries and occurring or existing prior to the date of such transfers.

See Note 18 for a discussion of our share of incurred and accrued environmental remediation and recovery expenses associated with the release of crude oil on the Osage pipeline reflected in our equity in earnings of equity method investments.

Note 15: Contingencies

We are a party to various legal and regulatory proceedings, none of which we believe will have a material adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Note 16: Segment Information

Although financial information is reviewed by our chief operating decision makers from a variety of perspectives, they view the business in two reportable operating segments: (1) pipelines and terminals, and (2) refinery processing units. These operating segments adhere to the accounting polices used for our consolidated financial statements. For a discussion of these accounting policies and a summary of our derivation of revenue, see Note 1.

- 26 -

Our pipelines and terminals segment includes our petroleum product and crude pipelines and terminal, tankage and loading rack facilities that support refining and marketing operations of HF Sinclair and other refineries in the Mid-Continent, Southwest and Northwest regions of the United States.

Our Refinery Processing Unit segment consists of five refinery processing units at two of HF Sinclair's refining facility locations.

Pipelines and terminals have been aggregated as one reportable segment as both pipelines and terminals (1) have similar economic characteristics, (2) similarly provide logistics services of transportation and storage of petroleum products, (3) similarly support the petroleum refining business, including distribution of its products, (4) have principally the same customers and (5) are subject to similar regulatory requirements.

We evaluate the performance of each segment based on its respective operating income. Certain general and administrative expenses and interest and financing costs are excluded from segment operating income as they are not directly attributable to a specific reportable segment. Identifiable assets are those used by the segment, whereas other assets are principally equity method investments, cash, deposits and other assets that are not associated with a specific reportable segment.

Note 17: Supplemental Guarantor/Non-Guarantor Financial Information

Obligations of HEP (“Parent”) under the Senior Notes have been jointly and severally guaranteed by each of its direct and indirect 100% owned subsidiaries (“Guarantor Subsidiaries”). These guarantees are full and unconditional, subject to certain customary release provisions. These circumstances include (i) when a Guarantor Subsidiary is sold or sells all or substantially all of its assets, (ii) when a Guarantor Subsidiary is declared “unrestricted” for covenant purposes, (iii) when a Guarantor Subsidiary's guarantee of other indebtedness is terminated or released and (iv) when the requirements for legal defeasance or covenant defeasance or to discharge the Senior Notes have been satisfied.

The following financial information presents condensed consolidating balance sheets and statements of income of the Parent, the Guarantor Subsidiaries and the Non-Guarantor subsidiaries. The information has been presented as if the Parent accounted for its ownership in the Guarantor Subsidiaries, and the Guarantor Restricted Subsidiaries accounted for the ownership of the Non-Guarantor Non-Restricted Subsidiaries, using the equity method of accounting.

As a result of the HEP Transaction, UNEV became a 100% owned subsidiary, and it was subsequently added as a guarantor of the obligations of HEP under the Senior Notes during the second quarter of 2022. UNEV financial information has been included in the Guarantor Subsidiaries financial information for all periods presented.

Note 18: Osage Pipeline

On July 8, 2022, the Osage pipeline, which is owned by Osage (see Note 1) and carries crude oil from Cushing, Oklahoma to El Dorado, Kansas, suffered a release of crude oil. Our equity in earnings of equity method investments was reduced in the three months ended March 31, 2023 by $0.9 million for our 50% share of incurred and estimated environmental remediation and recovery expenses associated with the release. From the date of the release through March 31, 2023, our equity in earnings of equity method investments was reduced by $18.5 million for our 50% share of incurred and estimated environmental remediation and recovery expenses associated with the release, net of our share of insurance proceeds received to date is $3.0 million. Any additional insurance recoveries will be recorded as they are received. If the Osage insurance policy pays out in full, our share of the remaining insurance coverage is expected to be $10.0 million. As Osage is an equity method investment, its financial position and results are not consolidated into HEP financial statement line items. The financial impact of the Osage crude oil release is reflected on the consolidated balance sheets as a reduction in equity method investments and is reflected on the consolidated statement of income as a reduction in equity in earnings (loss) of equity method investments.

The pipeline resumed operations in the third quarter of 2022 and remediation efforts are underway. It may be necessary for Osage to expend or accrue additional amounts for environmental remediation or other release-related expenses in future periods, but we cannot estimate those amounts at this time. Future costs and accruals could have a material impact on our results of operations and cash flows in the period recorded; however, we do not expect them to have a material impact on our financial position.

Note 19: Subsequent Event

On May 3, 2023, we received a non-binding proposal from HF Sinclair to acquire all of the outstanding common units (“Common Units”) of HEP not beneficially owned by HF Sinclair or its affiliates in exchange for shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”) of HF Sinclair. Under the proposal, HEP unitholders would receive newly issued shares of Common Stock at a fixed exchange ratio of 0.3714 per each publicly held Common Unit, which was derived using the 30-day volume weighted average prices for each security as of market close on May 3, 2023 (the “Proposed HF Sinclair Transaction”). The proposal has been made to the board of directors of our ultimate general partner (the “Board”). It is anticipated that the Board will authorize the Conflicts Committee of the Board (the “Conflicts Committee”), which is comprised of independent members of the Board, to review, evaluate and negotiate the Proposed HF Sinclair Transaction. The Proposed HF Sinclair Transaction is subject to the negotiation and execution of a definitive agreement. There can be no assurance that a definitive agreement will be executed or that any transaction will be approved or consummated.

References herein to HEP with respect to time periods from and after March 14, 2022 include the operations of the HEP Acquired Sinclair Businesses.

References herein to HF Sinclair Corporation (“HF Sinclair”) with respect to time periods prior to March 14, 2022 refer to HollyFrontier Corporation (“HFC”) and its consolidated subsidiaries and do not include Hippo Holding LLC (now known as Sinclair Holding LLC), Sinclair Transportation or their respective consolidated subsidiaries (collectively, the “HFS Acquired Sinclair Businesses”). References herein to HF Sinclair with respect to time periods from and after March 14, 2022 refer to HF Sinclair and its consolidated subsidiaries, which include the operations of the combined business operations of HFC and the HFS Acquired Sinclair Businesses.

OVERVIEW

HEP, together with its consolidated subsidiaries, is a publicly held master limited partnership. On March 14, 2022 (the “Closing Date”), HFC and HEP announced the establishment of HF Sinclair, as the new parent holding company of HFC and HEP and their subsidiaries, and the completion of their respective acquisitions of Sinclair Oil Corporation (now known as Sinclair Oil LLC (“Sinclair Oil”)) and Sinclair Transportation from REH Company (formerly known as The Sinclair Companies, and referred to herein as “REH Company”). On the Closing Date, HF Sinclair completed its acquisition of Sinclair Oil by effecting (a) a holding company merger with HFC surviving such merger as a direct wholly owned subsidiary of HF Sinclair (the “HFC Merger”), and (b) immediately following the HFC Merger, a contribution whereby REH Company contributed all of the equity interests of Hippo Holding LLC (now known as Sinclair Holding LLC), the parent company of Sinclair Oil (the “Target Company”), to HF Sinclair in exchange for shares of HF Sinclair, resulting in the Target Company becoming a direct wholly owned subsidiary of HF Sinclair (together with the HFC Merger, the “HFC Transactions”).

As of March 31, 2023, HF Sinclair and its subsidiaries owned a 47% limited partner interest and the non-economic general partner interest in HEP.

Additionally, on the Closing Date and immediately prior to consummation of the HFC Transactions, HEP acquired all of the outstanding equity interests of Sinclair Transportation from REH Company in exchange for 21 million newly issued common limited partner units of HEP (the “HEP Units”), representing 16.6% of the pro forma outstanding HEP Units with a value of approximately $349 million based on HEP’s fully diluted common limited partner units outstanding and closing unit price on March 11, 2022, and cash consideration equal to $329.0 million, inclusive of final working capital adjustments for an aggregate transaction value of $678.0 million (the “HEP Transaction” and together with the HFC Transactions, the “Sinclair Transactions”). The cash consideration was funded through a draw under HEP’s senior secured revolving credit facility. The HEP Transaction was conditioned on the closing of the HFC Transactions, which occurred immediately following the HEP Transaction.

Sinclair Transportation, together with its subsidiaries, owned REH Company’s integrated crude and refined products pipelines and terminal assets, including approximately 1,200 miles of integrated crude and refined product pipeline supporting the REH Company refineries and other third-party refineries, eight product terminals and two crude terminals with approximately 4.5 million barrels of operated storage. In addition, HEP acquired Sinclair Transportation’s interests in three pipeline joint ventures for crude gathering and product offtake including: Saddle Butte Pipeline III, LLC (25.06% non-operated interest); Pioneer Investments Corp. (49.995% non-operated interest); and UNEV Pipeline, LLC (“UNEV”) (the 25% non-operated interest not already owned by HEP, resulting in UNEV becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of HEP).

See Notes 1 and 2 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in “Item 1. Financial Statements” for additional information regarding the acquisitions.

Table o

Through our subsidiaries and joint ventures, we own and/or operate petroleum product and crude oil pipelines, terminal, tankage and loading rack facilities and refinery processing units that support the refining and marketing operations of HF Sinclair and other refineries in the Mid-Continent, Southwest and Northwest regions of the United States. HEP, through its subsidiaries and joint ventures, owns and/or operates petroleum product and crude pipelines, tankage and terminals in Colorado, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Nevada, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Texas, Utah, Washington and Wyoming as well as refinery processing units in Utah and Kansas.

We generate revenues by charging tariffs for transporting petroleum products and crude oil through our pipelines, by charging fees for terminalling and storing refined products and other hydrocarbons, providing other services at our storage tanks and terminals and charging a tolling fee per barrel or thousand standard cubic feet of feedstock throughput in our refinery processing units. We do not take ownership of products that we transport, terminal, store or process, and therefore, we are not directly exposed to changes in commodity prices.

We believe the long-term global refined product demand and U.S. crude production should support high utilization rates for the refineries we serve, which in turn should support volumes in our product pipelines, crude gathering systems and terminals.

HF Sinclair Proposal

Market Developments

Our results for the three months ended March 31, 2023 were favorably impacted by global demand for transportation fuels, lubricants and transportation and terminal services having returned to pre-pandemic levels. We expect our customers will continue to adjust refinery production levels commensurate with market demand. The extent to which HEP’s future results are affected by the COVID-19 pandemic or volatile regional and global economic conditions will depend on various factors and consequences beyond our control. However, we have long-term customer contracts with minimum volume commitments, which have expiration dates from 2024 to 2037. These minimum volume commitments accounted for approximately 72% and 69% of our total tariffs and fees billed to customers for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022, respectively. We are currently not aware of any reasons that would prevent such customers from making the minimum payments required under the contracts or potentially making payments in excess of the minimum payments. In addition to these payments, we also expect to collect payments for services provided to uncommitted shippers.

Agreements with HF Sinclair

We serve HF Sinclair’s refineries under long-term pipeline, terminal, tankage and refinery processing unit throughput agreements expiring from 2024 to 2037. Under these agreements, HF Sinclair agrees to transport, store, and process throughput volumes of refined product, crude oil and feedstocks on our pipelines, terminal, tankage, loading rack facilities and refinery processing units that result in minimum annual payments to us. These minimum annual payments or revenues are subject to annual rate adjustments on July 1st each year based on the PPI or the FERC index. On December 17, 2020, FERC established a new price index for the five-year period commencing July 1, 2021 and ending June 30, 2026, in which common carriers charging indexed rates were permitted to adjust their indexed ceilings annually by Producer Price Index plus 0.78%. FERC received requests for rehearing of its December 17, 2020 order, and on January 20, 2022, FERC revised the index level used to determine the annual changes to interstate oil pipeline rate ceilings to Producer Price Index minus 0.21%. The order required the recalculation of the July 1, 2021 index ceilings to be effective as of March 1, 2022. As of March 31, 2023, these agreements with HF Sinclair require minimum annualized payments to us of $457 million.

If HF Sinclair fails to meet its minimum volume commitments under the agreements in any quarter, it will be required to pay us the amount of any shortfall in cash by the last day of the month following the end of the quarter. Under certain of the agreements, a shortfall payment may be applied as a credit in the following four quarters after minimum obligations are met.

A significant reduction in revenues under these agreements could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

- 35 -

Table o

Under certain provisions of an omnibus agreement we have with HF Sinclair (the “Omnibus Agreement”), we pay HF Sinclair an annual administrative fee, currently $5.0 million, for the provision by HF Sinclair or its affiliates of various general and administrative services to us. This fee does not include the salaries of personnel employed by HF Sinclair who perform services for us on behalf of Holly Logistic Services, L.L.C. (“HLS”), or the cost of their employee benefits, which are separately charged to us by HF Sinclair. We also reimburse HF Sinclair and its affiliates for direct expenses they incur on our behalf.

Under HLS’s Secondment Agreement with HF Sinclair, certain employees of HF Sinclair are seconded to HLS to provide operational and maintenance services for certain of our processing, refining, pipeline and tankage assets, and HLS reimburses HF Sinclair for its prorated portion of the wages, benefits, and other costs of these employees for our benefit.

We have a long-term strategic relationship with HFC (and now HF Sinclair) that has historically facilitated our growth. Subject to the final negotiated terms of a definitive agreement with HF Sinclair on the Proposed HF Sinclair Transaction and the discretion of our Board, our future growth plans include organic projects around our existing assets and select investments or acquisitions that enhance our service platform while creating accretion for our unitholders.

(1)Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) is calculated as net income attributable to the partners plus or minus (i) interest expense, (ii) interest income, (iii) state income tax expense and (iv) depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as EBITDA plus (i) our share of Osage environmental remediation costs included in equity in earnings of equity method investments, (ii) acquisition integration and regulatory costs, (iii) tariffs and fees not included in revenues due to impacts from lease accounting for certain tariffs and fees minus (iv) pipeline lease payments not included in operating costs and expenses. Portions of our minimum guaranteed tariffs for assets subject to sales-type lease accounting are recorded as interest income with the remaining amounts recorded as a reduction in net investment in leases. Similarly, certain pipeline lease payments were previously recorded as operating costs and expenses, but the underlying lease was reclassified from an operating lease to a financing lease, and these payments are now recorded as interest expense and reductions in the lease liability. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not calculations based upon generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). However, the amounts included in the EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA calculations are derived from amounts included in our consolidated financial statements. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as alternatives to net income attributable to the partners or operating income, as indications of our operating performance or as alternatives to operating cash flow as a measure of liquidity. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are presented here because they are widely used financial indicators used by investors and analysts to measure performance. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are also used by our management for internal analysis and as a basis for compliance with financial covenants.

Distributable cash flow is not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Distributable cash flow is presented here because it is a widely accepted financial indicator used by investors to compare partnership performance. It is also used by management for internal analysis and for our performance units.

Results of Operations—Three Months Ended March 31, 2023 Compared with Three Months Ended March 31, 2022

Summary

Net income attributable to the partners for the first quarter of 2023 was $57.5 million ($0.45 per basic and diluted limited partner unit) compared to $49.6 million ($0.45 per basic and diluted limited partner unit) for the first quarter of 2022. The increase in net income was mainly due to net income from Sinclair Transportation, which was acquired on March 14, 2022, as well as higher revenues from our Woods Cross refinery processing units, partially offset by higher interest expense.

Revenues

Revenues for the first quarter were $143.3 million, an increase of $23.1 million compared to the first quarter of 2022. The increase was mainly due to revenues from the acquired Sinclair Transportation assets, higher revenues on our Woods Cross refinery processing units, which were down for a scheduled turnaround in March 2022, and rate increases that went into effect on July 1, 2022, partially offset by lower revenues on our product pipelines servicing HF Sinclair's Navajo refinery.

Revenues from our refined product pipelines were $25.2 million, a decrease of $0.9 million compared to the first quarter of 2022. Shipments averaged 183.4 thousand barrels per day (“mbpd”) compared to 156.2 mbpd for the first quarter of 2022. The volume increase was mainly due to higher volumes on the acquired Sinclair Transportation product pipelines. The decrease in revenues was mainly due to lower volumes on our product pipelines serving HF Sinclair's Navajo refinery. Revenues were lower in proportion to volumes due to our recognition of a significant portion of the Sinclair Transportation refined product pipeline tariffs as interest income under sales-type lease accounting.

Revenues from our intermediate pipelines were $8.3 million, an increase of $0.8 million compared to the first quarter of 2022. Shipments averaged 114.3 mbpd for the first quarter of 2023 compared to 117.8 mbpd for the first quarter of 2022. The increase in revenue was mainly due to rate increases that went into effect on July 1, 2022.

Table o

Revenues from our crude pipelines were $37.1 million, an increase of $5.9 million compared to the first quarter of 2022. Shipments averaged 649.7 mbpd compared to 527.2 mbpd for the first quarter of 2022. The increase in volumes was mainly attributable to the acquired Sinclair Transportation crude pipelines and higher volumes on our crude pipeline systems in New Mexico and Texas. The increase in revenues was mainly due to the acquired Sinclair Transportation crude pipelines, higher volumes on our crude pipeline systems in New Mexico and Texas and rate increases that went into effect on July 1, 2022.

Revenues from terminal, tankage and loading rack fees were $46.2 million, an increase of $9.2 million compared to the first quarter of 2022. Refined products and crude oil terminalled in the facilities averaged 729.3 mbpd compared to 494.4 mbpd for the first quarter of 2022. The increase in volumes was mainly due to the acquired Sinclair Transportation assets. Revenues increased mainly due to revenues from the acquired Sinclair Transportation assets and rate increases that went into effect on July 1, 2022.

Revenues from refinery processing units were $26.5 million, an increase of $8.1 million compared to the first quarter of 2022, and throughputs averaged 53.3 mbpd compared to 65.2 mbpd for the first quarter of 2022. Revenues increased mainly due to higher revenues from our Woods Cross refinery processing units, which were down for a scheduled turnaround in March 2022, as well as rate increases that went into effect on July 1, 2022. The decrease in volumes was due to maintenance at the El Dorado refinery.

Operations Expense

Operations (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) expense was $52.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, an increase of $9.5 million compared to the first quarter of 2022. The increase was mainly due to operations expenses associated with the acquired Sinclair Transportation assets as well as higher employee costs and higher natural gas costs for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization for the three months ended March 31, 2023 increased by $2.5 million compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase was mainly due to depreciation on the acquired Sinclair Transportation assets and amortization of the Woods Cross refinery processing units turnaround.

General and Administrative

General and administrative costs for the three months ended March 31, 2023 increased by $0.3 million compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022, mainly due to higher external audit expenses and higher administrative fees charged by HF Sinclair under the Omnibus Agreement, partially offset by lower acquisition integration and regulatory costs associated with the HEP Transaction.

Equity in Earnings of Equity Method Investments

Equity in earnings of Osage Pipe Line Company, LLC (“Osage”) decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2023, mainly due to our 50% share of environmental remediation and recovery expenses associated with the release of crude oil on the Osage pipeline. Additional insurance recoveries will be recorded as they are received. If the Osage insurance pays out in full, our share of the remaining insurance coverage is expected to be $10.0 million. The pipeline resumed operations in the third quarter of 2022 and remediation efforts are underway. Pioneer Investments Corp. and Saddle Butte Pipeline III, LLC were acquired during the first quarter of 2022 as part of the HEP Transaction.

Interest Expense, including Amortization

Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2023, was $26.0 million, an increase of $12.3 million compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase was mainly due to our April 2022 issuance of $400 million in aggregate principal amount of 6.375% senior unsecured notes maturing in April 2027, the proceeds of which were used to partially repay outstanding borrowings under our senior secured credit facility following the funding of the cash portion of the Sinclair Transportation acquisition. In addition, market interest rates increased on our senior secured revolving credit facility. Our aggregate effective interest rates were 6.4% and 3.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Interest Income

Interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2023, totaled $20.4 million, an increase of $7.8 million compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase was mainly due to higher sales-type lease interest income from the acquired Sinclair Transportation pipelines and terminals.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Overview

We have a $1.2 billion senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Agreement”) that matures July 2025. The Credit Agreement is available to fund capital expenditures, investments, acquisitions, distribution payments and working capital and for general partnership purposes. The Credit Agreement is also available to fund letters of credit up to a $50 million sub-limit and continues to provide for an accordion feature that allows us to increase commitments under the Credit Agreement up to a maximum amount of $1.7 billion.

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we received advances totaling $42.0 million and repaid $58.5 million under the Credit Agreement, resulting in a net decrease of $16.5 million and an outstanding balance of $651.5 million at March 31, 2023. As of March 31, 2023, we have no letters of credit outstanding under the Credit Agreement and the available capacity under the Credit Agreement was $548.5 million. Amounts repaid under the Credit Agreement may be reborrowed from time to time.

As of March 31, 2023, we had $500 million in aggregate principal amount of 5% Senior Notes due in 2028 (the “5% Senior Notes”, and together with the 6.375% Senior Notes, the “Senior Notes”).

We have a continuous offering program under which we may issue and sell common units from time to time, representing limited partner interests, up to an aggregate gross sales amount of $200 million. We did not issue any units under this program during the three months ended March 31, 2023. As of March 31, 2023, HEP has issued 2,413,153 units under this program, providing $82.3 million in gross proceeds.

Under our registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) using a “shelf” registration process, we currently have the authority to raise up to $2.0 billion by offering securities, through one or more prospectus supplements that would describe, among other things, the specific amounts, prices and terms of any securities offered and how the proceeds would be used. Any proceeds from the sale of securities are expected to be used for general business purposes, which may include, among other things, funding acquisitions of assets or businesses, working capital, capital expenditures, investments in subsidiaries, the retirement of existing debt and/or the repurchase of common units or other securities.

We believe our current sources of liquidity, including cash balances, future internally generated funds, any future issuances of debt or equity securities and funds available under the Credit Agreement will provide sufficient resources to meet our working capital liquidity, capital expenditure and quarterly distribution needs for the foreseeable future. Future securities issuances, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors.

In February 2023, we paid a regular quarterly cash distribution of $0.35 on all units in an aggregate amount of $44.3 million.

On April 20, 2023, we announced our cash distribution for the first quarter of 2023 of $0.35 per unit, or $1.40 on an annualized basis. Subject to the final negotiated terms of a definitive agreement with HF Sinclair on the Proposed HF Sinclair Transaction and the discretion of our Board, we expect our future cash distribution will continue as long as we remain a public company.

Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $3.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023. The cash flows used for investing activities of $9.3 million and financing activities of $64.4 million were more than the cash flows provided by operating activities of $69.8 million. Working capital increased by $11.8 million to $29.1 million at March 31, 2023, from $17.3 million at December 31, 2022.

Table o

Cash Flows—Operating Activities

Cash flows from operating activities decreased by $2.0 million from $71.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, to $69.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease was mainly due to higher payments for operating expenses and interest expenses, partially offset by higher customer receipts and lower payments for turnaround expenditures during the three months ended March 31, 2023, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Cash Flows—Investing Activities

Cash flows used for investing activities were $9.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to $333.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, a decrease of $324.5 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we paid the $321.4 million cash portion of the purchase price consideration for our acquisition of Sinclair Transportation. During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, we invested $7.6 million and $14.1 million, respectively, in additions to properties and equipment.

Cash Flows—Financing Activities

Cash flows used by financing activities were $64.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to cash flows provided by financing activities of $262.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, a decrease of $327.0 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we received $42.0 million and repaid $58.5 million in advances under the Credit Agreement. Additionally, we paid $44.3 million in regular quarterly cash distributions to our limited partners and $2.5 million to our noncontrolling interests. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we received $360.0 million and repaid $58.5 million in advances under the Credit Agreement. We paid $37.0 million in regular quarterly cash distributions to our limited partners, and distributed $0.9 million to our noncontrolling interests.

Capital Requirements

Our pipeline and terminalling operations are capital intensive, requiring investments to maintain, expand, upgrade or enhance existing operations and to meet environmental and operational regulations. Our capital requirements have consisted of, and are expected to continue to consist of, maintenance capital expenditures and expansion capital expenditures. “Maintenance capital expenditures” represent capital expenditures to replace partially or fully depreciated assets to maintain the operating capacity of existing assets. Maintenance capital expenditures include expenditures required to maintain equipment reliability, tankage and pipeline integrity, safety and to address environmental regulations. “Expansion capital expenditures” represent capital expenditures to expand the operating capacity of existing or new assets, but exclude acquisitions. Expansion capital expenditures include expenditures to grow our business and to expand existing facilities, such as projects that increase throughput capacity on our pipelines and in our terminals. Repair and maintenance expenses associated with existing assets that are minor in nature and do not extend the useful life of existing assets are charged to operating expenses as incurred.

Each year the board of directors of HLS, our ultimate general partner, approves our annual capital budget, which specifies capital projects that our management is authorized to undertake. Additionally, at times when conditions warrant or as new opportunities arise, additional projects may be approved. The funds allocated for a particular capital project may be expended over a period in excess of a year, depending on the time required to complete the project. Therefore, our planned capital expenditures for a given year consist of expenditures approved for capital projects included in the current year’s capital budget as well as, in certain cases, expenditures approved for capital projects in capital budgets for prior years. Our current 2023 capital forecast is comprised of approximately $25 million to $35 million for maintenance capital expenditures and $5 million to $10 million for expansion capital expenditures and our share of Joint Venture investments. In addition to our capital budget, we may spend funds periodically to perform capital upgrades or additions to our assets where a customer reimburses us for such costs. The upgrades or additions would generally benefit the customer over the remaining life of the related service agreements.

We expect that our currently planned sustaining and maintenance capital expenditures, as well as expenditures for capital development projects, will be funded with cash generated by operations. We expect that, to the extent necessary, we can raise additional funds from time to time through equity or debt financings in the public and private capital markets.

Under the terms of the transaction to acquire HFC’s 75% interest in UNEV, we issued to a subsidiary of HFC a Class B unit comprising a noncontrolling equity interest in a wholly owned subsidiary subject to redemption to the extent that HFC is entitled to a 50% interest in 75% of annual UNEV earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation, and amortization above $40 million beginning July 1, 2015, and ending in June 2032, subject to certain limitations. However, to the extent earnings thresholds are not achieved, no redemption payments are required. No redemption payments have been required to date.

Table o

Credit Agreement

We have a $1.2 billion Credit Agreement that matures in July 2025. The Credit Agreement is available to fund capital expenditures, investments, acquisitions, distribution payments and working capital and for general partnership purposes. The Credit Agreement is also available to fund letters of credit up to a $50 million sub-limit, and it continues to provide for an accordion feature that allows us to increase the commitments under the Credit Agreement up to a maximum amount of $1.7 billion.

Our obligations under the Credit Agreement are collateralized by substantially all of our assets, and indebtedness under the Credit Agreement is guaranteed by our material, wholly owned subsidiaries. The Credit Agreement requires us to maintain compliance with certain financial covenants consisting of total leverage, senior secured leverage, and interest coverage. It also limits or restricts our ability to engage in certain activities. If, at any time prior to the expiration of the Credit Agreement, HEP obtains two investment grade credit ratings, the Credit Agreement will become unsecured and many of the covenants, limitations and restrictions will be eliminated.

Senior Notes

As of March 31, 2023, we had $500 million in aggregate principal amount of 5% Senior Notes due in 2028 (the “5% Senior Notes,” and together with the 6.375% Senior Notes, the “Senior Notes”).

On April 8, 2022, we closed a private placement of $400 million in aggregate principal amount of the 6.375% Senior Notes. The 6.375% Senior Notes were issued at par for net proceeds of approximately $393 million, after deducting the initial purchasers’ discounts and commissions and offering expenses. The total net proceeds from the offering of the 6.375% Senior Notes were used to partially repay outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement, increasing our available liquidity.

The Senior Notes are unsecured and impose certain restrictive covenants, including limitations on our ability to incur additional indebtedness, make investments, sell assets, incur certain liens, pay distributions, enter into transactions with affiliates, and enter into mergers. We were in compliance with the restrictive covenants for the Senior Notes as of March 31, 2023. At any time when the Senior Notes are rated investment grade by either Moody’s or Standard & Poor’s and no default or event of default exists, we will not be subject to many of the foregoing covenants. Additionally, we have certain redemption rights at varying premiums over face value under the Senior Notes.

Indebtedness under the Senior Notes is guaranteed by all of our existing wholly owned subsidiaries (other than Holly Energy Finance Corp. and certain immaterial subsidiaries).

Contractual Obligations

There were no significant changes to our long-term contractual obligations during the quarter ended March 31, 2023.

Impact of Inflation

After being relatively moderate in recent years, PPI in the United States increased significantly in 2023 and 2022. PPI has increased an average of 5% annually over the past five calendar years, including an increase of 13.5% in 2022 and 8.9% in 2021.

The substantial majority of our revenues are generated under long-term contracts that provide for increases or decreases in our rates and minimum revenue guarantees annually for increases or decreases in the PPI. These annual rate adjustments generally occur on July 1st each year based on the PPI or the FERC index increase or decrease during the prior year. Certain of these contracts have provisions that limit the level of annual PPI percentage rate increases or decreases, and the majority of our rates do not decrease when PPI is negative. The substantial majority of our rates and minimum revenue guarantees used the 2021 PPI increase of 8.9% in the July 1, 2022 rate increase calculations.

A significant and prolonged period of high inflation or a significant and prolonged period of negative inflation could adversely affect our cash flows and results of operations if costs increase at a rate greater than the fees we charge our shippers. However, the fees we charged our shippers increased at a rate greater than our inflationary cost increase for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Environmental Matters

Our operation of pipelines, terminals, and associated facilities in connection with the transportation and storage of refined products and crude oil is subject to stringent and complex federal, state, and local laws and regulations governing the discharge of materials into the environment, or otherwise relating to the protection of the environment. As with the industry generally, compliance with existing and anticipated laws and regulations increases our overall cost of business, including our capital costs to construct, maintain, and upgrade equipment and facilities. While these laws and regulations affect our maintenance capital expenditures and net income, we believe that they do not affect our competitive position given that the operations of our competitors are similarly affected. However, these laws and regulations, and the interpretation or enforcement thereof, are subject to frequent change by regulatory authorities, and we are unable to predict the ongoing cost to us of complying with these laws and regulations or the future impact of these laws and regulations on our operations. Violation of environmental laws, regulations, and permits can result in the imposition of significant administrative, civil and criminal penalties, injunctions, and construction bans or delays. A major discharge of hydrocarbons or hazardous substances into the environment could, to the extent the event is not insured, subject us to substantial expense, including both the cost to comply with applicable laws and regulations and claims made by employees, neighboring landowners and other third parties for personal injury and property damage.

- 46 -

Table o

Contamination resulting from spills of refined products and crude oil is not unusual within the petroleum pipeline industry. Historic spills along our existing pipelines and terminals as a result of past operations have resulted in contamination of the environment, including soils and groundwater. Some environmental laws impose liability without regard to fault or the legality of the original act on certain classes of persons that contributed to the releases of hazardous substances or petroleum hydrocarbon substances into the environment. These persons include the owner or operator of the site or sites where the release occurred and companies that disposed of, or arranged for the disposal of, the hazardous substances found at the site. Such persons may be subject to strict, joint and several liability for the costs of cleaning up the hazardous substances that have been released into the environment, for damages to natural resources, and for the costs of certain health studies. Site conditions, including soils and groundwater, are being evaluated at a few of our properties where operations may have resulted in releases of hydrocarbons and other wastes.

There are environmental remediation projects in progress, including assessment and monitoring activities, that relate to certain assets acquired from HF Sinclair. Under the Omnibus Agreement and certain transportation agreements and purchase agreements with HF Sinclair, HF Sinclair has agreed to indemnify us, subject to certain monetary and time limitations, for environmental noncompliance and remediation liabilities associated with certain assets transferred to us from HF Sinclair and occurring or existing prior to the date of such transfers.

We have an environmental agreement with Delek with respect to pre-closing environmental costs and liabilities relating to the pipelines and terminals acquired from Delek in 2005, under which Delek will indemnify us subject to certain monetary and time limitations.

At March 31, 2023, we had an accrual of $19.8 million related to environmental clean-up projects for which we have assumed liability, including accrued environmental liabilities assumed in the Sinclair Transportation acquisition that have been fair valued at $14.7 million as of the acquisition date, or for which the indemnity provided for by HF Sinclair has expired or will expire.

On July 8, 2022, the Osage pipeline, which carries crude oil from Cushing, Oklahoma to El Dorado, Kansas, suffered a release of crude oil. Our equity in earnings (loss) of equity method investments was reduced in the three months ended March 31, 2023 by $0.9 million for our 50% share of incurred and estimated environmental remediation and recovery expenses associated with the release. From the date of the release through March 31, 2023, our equity in earnings of equity method investments was reduced by $18.5 million for our 50% share of incurred and estimated environmental remediation and recovery expenses associated with the release, net of our share of insurance proceeds received to date of $3.0 million. Any additional insurance recoveries will be recorded as they are received. If the Osage insurance policy pays out in full, our share of the remaining insurance coverage is expected to be $10.0 million. The pipeline resumed operations in the third quarter of 2022 and remediation efforts are underway. It may be necessary for Osage to expend or accrue additional amounts for environmental remediation or other release-related expenses in future periods, but we cannot estimate those amounts at this time. Future costs and accruals could have a material impact on our results of operations and cash flows in the period recorded; however, we do not expect them to have a material impact on our financial position.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements. Actual results could materially differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions and have an impact on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows. Our significant accounting policies are described in “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Operations—Critical Accounting Policies” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. Certain critical accounting policies that materially affect the amounts recorded in our consolidated financial statements include revenue recognition, assessing the possible impairment of certain long-lived assets and goodwill, and assessing contingent liabilities for probable losses. There have been no changes to these policies in 2023. We consider these policies to be critical to understanding the judgments that are involved and the uncertainties that could impact our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

Table o

RISK MANAGEMENT

The market risk inherent in our debt positions is the potential change arising from increases or decreases in interest rates as discussed below.

At March 31, 2023, we had an outstanding principal balance of $900 million on our Senior Notes. A change in interest rates generally would affect the fair value of the Senior Notes, but not our earnings or cash flows. At March 31, 2023, the fair value of our Senior Notes was $866.9 million. We estimate a hypothetical 10% change in the yield-to-maturity applicable to the Senior Notes at March 31, 2023 would result in a change of approximately $22.3 million in the fair value of the underlying Senior Notes.

For the variable rate Credit Agreement, changes in interest rates would affect cash flows, but not the fair value. At March 31, 2023, borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement were $651.5 million. A hypothetical 10% change in interest rates applicable to the Credit Agreement would not materially affect our cash flows.

Our operations are subject to catastrophic losses, operational hazards and unforeseen interruptions, including but not limited to fire, explosion, releases or spills, cyberattacks, weather-related perils, vandalism, power failures, mechanical failures and other events beyond our control. We maintain various insurance coverages, including general liability, property damage, business interruption and cyber insurance, subject to certain deductibles and insurance policy terms and conditions. We are not fully insured against certain risks because such risks are not fully insurable, coverage is unavailable, or premium costs, in our judgment, do not justify such expenditures.

We have a risk management oversight committee that is made up of members from our senior management. This committee monitors our risk environment and provides direction for activities to mitigate, to an acceptable level, identified risks that may adversely affect the achievement of our goals.

Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices. See “Risk Management” under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” for a discussion of market risk exposures that we have with respect to our long-term debt, which disclosure should be read in conjunction with the quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022.

Since we do not own products shipped on our pipelines or terminalled at our terminal facilities, we do not have direct market risks associated with commodity prices.

Item 4.Controls and Procedures

(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have evaluated, as required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information we are required to disclose in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Based upon the evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2023, at a reasonable level of assurance.

(b) Changes in internal control over financial reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.Legal Proceedings

In the ordinary course of business, we may become party to legal, regulatory or administrative proceedings or governmental investigations, including environmental and other matters. Damages or penalties may be sought from us in some matters and certain matters may require years to resolve. While the outcome and impact of these proceedings and investigations on us cannot be predicted with certainty, based on advice of counsel and information currently available to us, management believes that the resolution of these proceedings and investigations, through settlement or adverse judgment, will not, either individually or in the aggregate, have a materially adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Item 1A.Risk Factors

Except as described below, there have been no material changes in our risk factors as previously disclosed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022. In addition to the other information set forth in this quarterly report, you should consider carefully the information discussed in our 2022 Form 10-K, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in our 2022 Form 10-K are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial may also materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition or future results.

There can be no assurances that we will enter into a definitive agreement with HF Sinclair related to its proposal to acquire all of our common units that it or its affiliates do not already own, or that we will complete any transactions contemplated by such an agreement.

On May 3, 2023, we received a non-binding proposal from HF Sinclair to acquire all of the outstanding common units (“Common Units”) of HEP not beneficially owned by HF Sinclair or its affiliates in exchange for shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”) of HF Sinclair. Under the proposal, HEP unitholders would receive newly issued shares of Common Stock at a fixed exchange ratio of 0.3714 per each publicly held Common Unit, which was derived using the 30-day volume weighted average prices for each security as of market close on May 3, 2023 (the “Proposed HF Sinclair Transaction”). The proposal has been made to the board of directors of our ultimate general partner (the “Board”). It is anticipated that the Board will authorize the Conflicts Committee of the Board, which is comprised of independent members of the Board, to review, evaluate and negotiate the Proposed HF Sinclair Transaction. The Proposed HF Sinclair Transaction is subject to the negotiation and execution of a definitive agreement. There can be no assurance that a definitive agreement will be executed or that any transaction will be approved or consummated.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

The following table discloses purchases of our common units made by us or on our behalf during the first quarter of 2023:
