1. | Organization, Description of Business and Basis of Presentation |
Organization
Unless indicated otherwise, the terms “our,” “we,” “us” and similar language refer to Magellan Midstream Partners, L.P. together with its subsidiaries. We are a Delaware limited partnership and our limited partner units are traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol “MMP.” Magellan GP, LLC, a wholly-owned Delaware limited liability company, serves as our general partner.
Description of Business
We are principally engaged in the transportation, storage and distribution of refined petroleum products and crude oil. As of June 30, 2016, our asset portfolio, including the assets of our joint ventures, consisted of:
• | our refined products segment, comprised of our 9,700-mile refined products pipeline system with 54 terminals as well as 26 independent terminals not connected to our pipeline system and our 1,100-mile ammonia pipeline system; |
• | our crude oil segment, comprised of approximately 1,600 miles of crude oil pipelines and storage facilities with an aggregate storage capacity of approximately 22 million barrels, of which approximately 15 million barrels are used for leased storage; and |
• | our marine storage segment, consisting of five marine terminals located along coastal waterways with an aggregate storage capacity of approximately 26 million barrels. |
Terminology common in our industry includes the following terms, which describe products that we transport, store and distribute through our pipelines and terminals:
• | refined products are the output from refineries and are primarily used as fuels by consumers. Refined products include gasoline, diesel fuel, aviation fuel, kerosene and heating oil. Collectively, diesel fuel and heating oil are referred to as distillates; |
• | liquefied petroleum gases, or LPGs, are produced as by-products of the crude oil refining process and in connection with natural gas production. LPGs include butane and propane; |
• | blendstocks are blended with refined products to change or enhance their characteristics such as increasing a gasoline’s octane or oxygen content. Blendstocks include alkylates, oxygenates and natural gasoline; |
• | heavy oils and feedstocks are used as burner fuels or feedstocks for further processing by refineries and petrochemical facilities. Heavy oils and feedstocks include No. 6 fuel oil and vacuum gas oil; |
• | crude oil and condensate are used as feedstocks by refineries and petrochemical facilities; |
• | biofuels, such as ethanol and biodiesel, are increasingly required by government mandates; and |
• | ammonia is primarily used as a nitrogen fertilizer. |
Except for ammonia, we use the term petroleum products to describe any, or a combination, of the above-noted products.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Basis of Presentation
In the opinion of management, our accompanying consolidated financial statements which are unaudited, except for the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2015, which is derived from our audited financial statements, include all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly our financial position as of June 30, 2016, the results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2016 and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2016. The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2016 as profits from our butane blending activities are realized largely during the first and fourth quarters of each year. Additionally, gasoline demand, which drives transportation volumes and revenues on our pipeline systems, generally trends higher during the summer driving months. Further, the volatility of commodity prices impacts the profits from our commodity activities and, to a lesser extent, the volume of petroleum products we ship on our pipelines.
Pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the financial statements in this report do not include all of the information and notes normally included with financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities that exist at the date of our consolidated financial statements, as well as their impact on the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which is part of the FASB’s initiative to simplify accounting standards. The guidance requires an entity to make an entity-wide accounting policy election to either estimate the number of awards that are expected to vest or account for forfeitures when they occur, and allows equity classification for awards where employees elect to withhold the maximum statutory tax rates in the applicable jurisdictions. The new standard also requires cash paid by employers when directly withholding shares for tax withholding purposes to be classified as a financing activity in the statement of cash flows.
We elected to early adopt ASU 2016-09 during the first quarter of 2016, and this adoption did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. In conjunction with our adoption of this new accounting standard, we have elected to account for equity-based compensation forfeitures as they occur. Additionally, and consistent with our prior accounting policy, we continue to show cash paid when directly withholding shares for tax withholding purposes as a financing activity in our statements of cash flows.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). This standard requires companies that lease valuable assets like aircraft, real estate, and heavy equipment to recognize on their balance sheets the assets and liabilities generated by contracts longer than a year. The new accounting model for lessors remains largely the same, although some changes have been made to align it with the new lessee model and the new revenue recognition guidance. This update also requires companies to disclose in the footnotes to their financial statements information about the amount, timing and uncertainty for the payments they make for the lease arrangements. Public companies

MAGELLAN MIDSTREAM PARTNERS, L.P.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
will have to begin applying the standard for fiscal years and quarters that start after December 15, 2018, although early adoption is permitted. We are currently in the process of evaluating the impact this new standard will have on our financial statements.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which eliminates the industry-specific guidance in U.S. GAAP and produces a single, principles-based method for companies to report revenue in their financial statements. This standard requires companies to make more estimates and use more judgment than under current guidance. In addition, all companies must compile more extensive footnote disclosures about how the revenue numbers were derived. This ASU requires full retrospective, modified retrospective or use of the cumulative effect method during the period of adoption. In July 2015, the FASB extended the effective date of this standard from January 1, 2017 to January 1, 2018. We are currently in the process of evaluating the impact this new standard will have on our financial statements.
2. | Product Sales Revenue |
The amounts reported as product sales revenue on our consolidated statements of income include revenue from the physical sale of petroleum products and mark-to-market adjustments from New York Mercantile Exchange (“NYMEX”) contracts. See Note 8 – Derivative Financial Instruments for a discussion of our commodity hedging strategies and how our NYMEX contracts impact product sales revenue. All of the petroleum products inventory we physically sell associated with our butane blending and fractionation activities, as well as the barrels from product gains we obtain from our operations, are reported as product sales revenue on our consolidated statements of income.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2016, product sales revenue included the following (in thousands):

3. | Segment Disclosures |
Our reportable segments are strategic business units that offer different products and services. Our segments are managed separately as each segment requires different marketing strategies and business knowledge. Management evaluates performance based on segment operating margin, which includes revenue from affiliates and external customers, operating expenses, cost of product sales and earnings of non-controlled entities.
We believe that investors benefit from having access to the same financial measures used by management. Operating margin, which is presented in the following tables, is an important measure used by management to evaluate the economic performance of our core operations. Operating margin is not a GAAP measure, but the components of operating margin are computed using amounts that are determined in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of operating margin to operating profit, which is its nearest comparable GAAP financial measure, is included in the tables below. Operating profit includes depreciation and amortization expense and general and administrative (“G&A”) expense that management does not consider when evaluating the core profitability of our separate operating segments.

The total gain recorded was $28.1 million, which includes $26.9 million recorded in the first quarter of 2016 and an additional $1.2 million recorded in the second quarter of 2016 for proceeds received for a working capital settlement related to the transaction.
The management fees we have recognized from BridgeTex, Osage, Powder Springs, Saddlehorn and Texas Frontera are reported as affiliate management fee revenue on our consolidated statements of income. In addition, we receive reimbursement from certain of our joint ventures for costs incurred during construction, which we included as reductions to costs and expenses on our consolidated statements of income. During the second quarter of 2016, we received construction cost reimbursements of $0.8 million from Saddlehorn, $0.1 million from Powder Springs, $0.1 million from HoustonLink and $0.1 million from Seabrook. During the six months ended June 2016, we received construction cost reimbursements of $1.2 million from Saddlehorn, $0.1 million from Powder Springs, $0.1 million from HoustonLink and $0.1 million from Seabrook.
We recognized pipeline capacity lease revenue from BridgeTex of $8.5 million and $8.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2016, respectively, and $16.9 million and $17.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2016, respectively, which we included in transportation and terminals revenue on our consolidated statements of income.

The face value of our debt at December 31, 2015 and June 30, 2016 was $3.4 billion and $3.8 billion, respectively. The difference between the face value and carrying value of our debt outstanding is the unamortized portion of terminated fair value hedges and the unamortized discounts and premiums on debt issuances. Realized gains and losses on fair value hedges and note discounts and premiums are being amortized or accreted to the applicable notes over the respective lives of those notes.
2016 Debt Offering
In February 2016, we issued $650.0 million of our 5.00% notes due 2026 in an underwritten public offering. The notes were issued at 99.875% of par. Net proceeds from this offering were approximately $643.8 million, after underwriting discounts and offering expenses of $5.4 million. The net proceeds from this offering were used to repay borrowings outstanding under our commercial paper program and for general partnership purposes, including expansion capital.

Other Debt
Revolving Credit Facilities. At June 30, 2016, the total borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facility with a maturity date of October 27, 2020 was $1.0 billion. Any borrowings outstanding under this facility are classified as long-term debt on our consolidated balance sheets. Borrowings under this facility are unsecured and bear interest at LIBOR plus a spread ranging from 1.000% to 1.625% based on our credit ratings. Additionally, an unused commitment fee is assessed at a rate between 0.100% and 0.275% depending on our credit ratings. The unused commitment fee was 0.125% at June 30, 2016. Borrowings under this facility may be used for general partnership purposes, including capital expenditures. As of December 31, 2015 and June 30, 2016, respectively, there were no borrowings outstanding under this facility, with $6.3 million obligated for letters of credit. Amounts obligated for letters of credit are not reflected as debt on our consolidated balance sheets, but decrease our borrowing capacity under this facility.
At June 30, 2016, the total borrowing capacity under our 364-day credit facility was $250.0 million. This credit facility matures on October 25, 2016, subject to a term-out option. We may exercise the term-out option no later than 30 days prior to October 25, 2016 and elect to have all outstanding borrowings converted into a term loan due and payable on October 25, 2018, subject to the payment of a term-out fee. Any borrowings under this credit facility are classified as current debt on our consolidated balance sheets. Borrowings under this facility are unsecured and bear interest at LIBOR plus a spread ranging from 1.000% to 1.625% based on our credit ratings. Additionally, an unused commitment fee is assessed at a rate between 0.080% and 0.225% depending on our credit ratings. The unused commitment fee was 0.100% at June 30, 2016. Borrowings under this facility may be used for general partnership purposes, including capital expenditures. As of December 31, 2015 and June 30, 2016, respectively, there were no borrowings outstanding under this facility.
Commercial Paper Program. The maturities of our commercial paper notes vary, but may not exceed 397 days from the date of issuance. The commercial paper notes are sold under customary terms in the commercial paper market and are issued at a discount from par, or alternatively, are sold at par and bear varying interest rates on a fixed or floating basis. The commercial paper we can issue is limited by the amounts available under our revolving credit facility up to an aggregate principal amount of $1.0 billion and is classified as long-term debt.
8. | Derivative Financial Instruments |
Interest Rate Derivatives
We periodically enter into interest rate derivatives to hedge the fair value of our debt or interest on expected debt issuances, and we have historically designated these derivatives as cash flow or fair value hedges for accounting purposes. Adjustments resulting from discontinued hedges continue to be recognized in accordance with their historic hedging relationships.
As of June 30, 2016, we had entered into $250.0 million of forward-starting interest rate swap agreements to hedge against the risk of variability of future interest payments on a portion of debt we anticipate issuing in 2016. The fair value of these contracts at June 30, 2016 was recorded on our consolidated balance sheets as an other current liability of $18.6 million, with the offset recorded to other comprehensive income. We account for these agreements as cash flow hedges.
During second quarter 2016, we entered into $100.0 million of forward-starting interest rate swap agreements to hedge against the risk of variability of future interest payments on a portion of debt we anticipate issuing in 2018. The fair values of these contracts at June 30, 2016 were recorded on our balance sheets as an other noncurrent

MAGELLAN MIDSTREAM PARTNERS, L.P.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
liability of $1.4 million and an other noncurrent asset of $0.4 million, with the net offset recorded to other comprehensive income. We account for these agreements as cash flow hedges.
Commodity Derivatives
Hedging Strategies
Our butane blending activities produce gasoline products, and we can reasonably estimate the timing and quantities of sales of these products. We use a combination of NYMEX and forward purchase and sale contracts to help manage commodity price changes, which is intended to mitigate the risk of decline in the product margin realized from our butane blending activities that we choose to hedge. Further, certain of our other commercial operations generate petroleum products. We use NYMEX contracts to hedge against future price changes for some of these commodities.
We account for the forward physical purchase and sale contracts we use in our butane blending and fractionation activities as normal purchases and sales. Forward contracts that qualify for and are elected as normal purchases and sales are accounted for using traditional accrual accounting.
The NYMEX contracts that we enter into fall into one of three hedge categories:
Hedge Category | Hedge Purpose | Accounting Treatment | ||
Qualifies For Hedge Accounting Treatment | ||||
Cash Flow Hedge | To hedge the variability in cash flows related to a forecasted transaction. | The effective portion of changes in the fair value of the hedge is recorded to accumulated other comprehensive income/loss and reclassified to earnings when the forecasted transaction occurs. Any ineffectiveness is recognized currently in earnings. | ||
Fair Value Hedge | To hedge against changes in the fair value of a recognized asset or liability. | The effective portion of changes in the fair value of the hedge is recorded as adjustments to the asset or liability being hedged. Any ineffectiveness and amounts excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness is recognized currently in earnings. | ||
Does Not Qualify For Hedge Accounting Treatment | ||||
Economic Hedge | To effectively serve as either a fair value or a cash flow hedge; however, the derivative agreement does not qualify for hedge accounting treatment under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. | Changes in the fair value of these agreements are recognized currently in earnings. |
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2016, none of the commodity hedging contracts we entered into qualified for or were designated as cash flow hedges.
Period changes in the fair value of NYMEX agreements that are accounted for as economic hedges (other than those economic hedges of our butane purchases and our pipeline product overages as discussed below), the effective portion of changes in the fair value of cash flow hedges that are reclassified from AOCL and any ineffectiveness associated with hedges related to our commodity activities are recognized currently in earnings as adjustments to product sales.
We also use NYMEX contracts, which are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes, to hedge against changes in the price of butane we expect to purchase in the future. Period changes in the fair value of these agreements are recognized currently in earnings as adjustments to cost of product sales.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
We hold petroleum product inventories that we obtain from overages on our pipeline systems. We use NYMEX contracts that are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes to help manage price changes related to these inventory barrels. Period changes in the fair value of these agreements are recognized currently in earnings as adjustments to operating expense.
Additionally, we hold crude oil barrels that we use for operational purposes, which we classify as a long-term asset on our consolidated balance sheets as tank bottoms. We use NYMEX contracts to hedge against changes in the price of these crude oil barrels. We record the effective portion of the gains or losses for those contracts that qualify as fair value hedges as adjustments to the assets being hedged and the ineffective portions as well as amounts excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness as adjustments to other income or expense.
As outlined in the table below, our open NYMEX contracts at June 30, 2016 were as follows:
Type of Contract/Accounting Methodology | Product Represented by the Contract and Associated Barrels | Maturity Dates | ||
NYMEX - Fair Value Hedges | 0.7 million barrels of crude oil | November 2017 | ||
NYMEX - Economic Hedges | 5.8 million barrels of refined products and crude oil | Between July 2016 and April 2017 | ||
NYMEX - Economic Hedges | 1.2 million barrels of future purchases of butane | Between July 2016 and April 2017 |
Energy Commodity Derivatives Contracts and Deposits Offsets
At June 30, 2016, we had made margin deposits of $28.5 million for our NYMEX contracts with our counterparties, which were recorded as a current asset under energy commodity derivatives deposits on our consolidated balance sheets. We have the right to offset the combined fair values of our open NYMEX contracts against our margin deposits under a master netting arrangement for each counterparty; however, we have elected to present the combined fair values of our open NYMEX contracts separately from the related margin deposits on our consolidated balance sheets. Additionally, we have the right to offset the fair values of our NYMEX agreements together for each counterparty, which we have elected to do, and we report the combined net balances on our consolidated balance sheets. A schedule of the derivative amounts we have offset and the deposit amounts we could offset under a master netting arrangement are provided below as of December 31, 2015 and June 30, 2016 (in thousands):

As of June 30, 2016, the net loss estimated to be classified to interest expense over the next twelve months from AOCL is approximately $1.2 million.
During 2015 and 2016, we had open NYMEX contracts on 0.7 million barrels of crude oil that were designated as fair value hedges. Because there was no ineffectiveness recognized on these hedges, the cumulative gains at December 31, 2015 and June 30, 2016 of $27.9 million and $17.5 million, respectively, from these agreements were offset by a cumulative decrease to tank bottoms. The differential between the current spot price and forward price is excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness for these fair value hedges. For the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2016, we recognized a gain of $6.5 million and $1.9 million, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2016, we recognized a gain of $6.3 million and $4.2 million, respectively, for the amounts we excluded from the assessment of effectiveness of these fair value hedges, which we reported as other income on our consolidated statements of income.

9. | Commitments and Contingencies |
Environmental Liabilities
Liabilities recognized for estimated environmental costs were $31.4 million and $28.7 million at December 31, 2015 and June 30, 2016, respectively. We have classified environmental liabilities as current or noncurrent based on management’s estimates regarding the timing of actual payments. Management estimates that expenditures associated with these environmental liabilities will be paid over the next 9 years. Environmental expenditures recognized as a result of changes in our environmental liabilities are generally included in operating expenses on our consolidated statements of income. Environmental expenses were $2.9 million and $0.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2016, respectively, and $4.3 million and $4.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2016, respectively.
Environmental Receivables
Receivables from insurance carriers and other third parties related to environmental matters were $2.6 million at December 31, 2015, of which $0.7 million and $1.9 million were recorded to other accounts receivable and long-term receivables, respectively, on our consolidated balance sheets. Receivables from insurance carriers and other third parties related to environmental matters were $1.9 million at June 30, 2016, of which $0.8 million and $1.1 million were recorded to other accounts receivable and long-term receivables, respectively, on our consolidated balance sheets.
Other
We are a party to various other claims, legal actions and complaints arising in the ordinary course of business, including without limitation those disclosed in Item 1, Legal Proceedings of Part II of this report on Form 10-Q. While the results cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes the ultimate resolution of these claims, legal actions and complaints after consideration of amounts accrued, insurance coverage or other indemnification arrangements will not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
10. | Long-Term Incentive Plan |
We have a long-term incentive plan (“LTIP”) for certain of our employees and directors of our general partner. The LTIP primarily consists of phantom units and permits the grant of awards covering an aggregate payout of 11.9 million of our limited partner units. The compensation committee of our general partner’s board of directors administers our LTIP. The estimated units remaining available under the LTIP at June 30, 2016 total 3.0 million.

Fair Value Methods and Assumptions - Financial Assets and Liabilities.
We used the following methods and assumptions in estimating fair value of our financial assets and liabilities:
• | Energy commodity derivatives contracts. These include NYMEX futures agreements related to petroleum products. These contracts are carried at fair value on our consolidated balance sheets and are valued based on quoted prices in active markets. See Note 8 – Derivative Financial Instruments for further disclosures regarding these contracts. |
• | Interest rate contracts. These include forward-starting interest rate swap agreements to hedge against the risk of variability of interest payments on future debt. These contracts are carried at fair value on our consolidated balance sheets and are valued based on an assumed exchange, at the end of each period, in an orderly transaction with a market participant in the market in which the financial instrument is traded. The exchange value was calculated using present value techniques on estimated future cash flows based on forward interest rate curves. See Note 8 – Derivative Financial Instruments for further disclosures regarding these contracts. |
24
MAGELLAN MIDSTREAM PARTNERS, L.P.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
• | Long-term receivables. These primarily include lease payments receivable under a direct-financing leasing arrangement. Fair value was determined by estimating the present value of future cash flows using current market rates. |
• | Debt. The fair value of our publicly traded notes was based on the prices of those notes at December 31, 2015 and June 30, 2016; however, where recent observable market trades were not available, prices were determined using adjustments to the last traded value for that debt issuance or by adjustments to the prices of similar debt instruments of peer entities that are actively traded. The carrying amount of borrowings, if any, under our revolving credit facility and our commercial paper program approximates fair value due to the frequent repricing of these obligations. |

ITEM 2. | MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS |
Introduction
We are a publicly traded limited partnership principally engaged in the transportation, storage and distribution of refined petroleum products and crude oil. As of June 30, 2016, our asset portfolio, including the assets of our joint ventures, consisted of:
• | our refined products segment, comprised of our 9,700-mile refined products pipeline system with 54 terminals as well as 26 independent terminals not connected to our pipeline system and our 1,100-mile ammonia pipeline system; |
• | our crude oil segment, comprised of approximately 1,600 miles of crude oil pipelines and storage facilities with an aggregate storage capacity of approximately 22 million barrels, of which approximately 15 million barrels are used for leased storage; and |
• | our marine storage segment, consisting of five marine terminals located along coastal waterways with an aggregate storage capacity of approximately 26 million barrels. |
The following discussion provides an analysis of the results for each of our operating segments, an overview of our liquidity and capital resources and other items related to our partnership. The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with (i) our accompanying interim consolidated financial statements and related notes and (ii) our consolidated financial statements, related notes and management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.
Recent Developments
Pasadena Marine Terminal. In July 2016, we announced our plans to construct a new marine terminal along the Houston Ship Channel in Pasadena, Texas to handle refined petroleum products, including various grades of gasoline and diesel fuel, and renewable fuels. The new terminal will be built on recently-acquired land and is supported by a long-term customer commitment. The project is currently estimated to cost approximately $335 million, including the land acquisition. Subject to receipt of necessary permits and regulatory approval, we expect our new Pasadena terminal to be operational in early 2019.
Cash Distribution. In July 2016, the board of directors of our general partner declared a quarterly cash distribution of $0.82 per unit for the period of April 1, 2016 through June 30, 2016. This quarterly cash distribution will be paid on August 12, 2016 to unitholders of record on August 1, 2016. Total distributions expected to be paid under this declaration are approximately $186.8 million.

Results of Operations
We believe that investors benefit from having access to the same financial measures utilized by management. Operating margin, which is presented in the following tables, is an important measure used by management to evaluate the economic performance of our core operations. Operating margin is not a generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) measure, but the components of operating margin are computed using amounts that are determined in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of operating margin to operating profit, which is its nearest comparable GAAP financial measure, is included in the following tables. Operating profit includes expense items, such as depreciation and amortization expense and general and administrative (“G&A”) expense, which management does not focus on when evaluating the core profitability of our separate operating segments. Additionally, product margin, which management primarily uses to evaluate the profitability of our commodity-related activities, is provided in these tables. Product margin is a non-GAAP measure; however, its components of product sales revenue and cost of product sales are determined in accordance with GAAP. Our butane blending, fractionation and other commodity-related activities generate significant product revenue. We believe the product margin from these activities, which takes into account the related cost of product sales, better represents its importance to our results of operations.

Transportation and terminals revenue increased $7.3 million resulting from:
• | an increase in refined products revenue of $9.4 million primarily attributable to increased shipments and higher average tariff rates. Shipments increased 4% in the current period primarily associated with higher gasoline shipments driven by strong demand for gasoline largely attributable to the lower pricing environment, and the average rate per barrel in the current period was favorably impacted by the mid-year 2015 tariff rate increase of 4.6%; |
• | a decrease in crude oil revenue of $0.6 million. Increased shipments and rates on the Longhorn pipeline and new leased storage contracts were more than offset by the one-time benefit from a customer buying out of its remaining storage contract in 2015 and decreased revenue from tender deduct barrels largely due to the lower commodity price environment. Overall crude oil shipments declined and average rate per barrel increased due to fewer barrels moving on our lower-priced Houston distribution system tariff structure to their ultimate destination. Instead, customers utilized space available on our capacity lease for shipments from BridgeTex pipeline; and |
• | a decrease in marine storage revenue of $1.5 million primarily due to lower ancillary fees resulting from reduced customer activity. Otherwise, revenue from leased storage was relatively unchanged as higher contract rates offset lower utilization. |
Operating expenses decreased by $8.1 million primarily resulting from:
• | a decrease in refined products expenses of $6.6 million compared to the 2015 period primarily due to a product release in second quarter 2015 as well as more favorable product overages in the current period (which reduce operating expenses); |
• | a decrease in crude oil expenses of $1.8 million primarily due to lower power costs, more favorable product overages in the current period (which reduce operating expenses) and reduced asset replacement costs, partially offset by additional environmental accruals due to a product release in the current period; and |
• | a slight increase in marine storage expenses of $0.4 million primarily due to higher asset integrity spending related to the timing of tank inspections and maintenance work. |
Product sales revenue resulted from our butane blending activities, transmix fractionation and the sale of product gains from our operations. We utilize New York Mercantile Exchange (“NYMEX”) contracts to hedge against changes in the price of petroleum products we expect to sell in the future, and we use butane futures agreements to hedge against changes in the price of butane we expect to purchase in future periods. See Note 8 –Derivative Financial Instruments in Item 1 – Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of our hedging strategies and how our use of NYMEX contracts and butane futures agreements impacts our product margin. Product margin increased $12.6 million compared to second quarter 2015 due to reduced losses recognized from changes in related NYMEX contracts somewhat offset by lower sales prices as a result of reduced commodity prices. See Other Items—Commodity Derivative Agreements—Impact of Commodity Derivatives on Results of Operations below for more information about our NYMEX contracts.
Earnings of non-controlled entities decreased $9.1 million primarily attributable to decreased earnings from BridgeTex Pipeline Company, LLC (“BridgeTex”) due to lower shipments during the current period as customers shipped their minimum commitments. Lower earnings from Osage Pipe Line Company, LLC (“Osage”) due to the transfer of our 50% membership interest in first quarter 2016 were offset by increased shipments on the Double Eagle Pipeline LLC joint venture.
Depreciation and amortization increased $2.9 million primarily due to expansion capital projects recently placed into service.
G&A decreased $3.3 million primarily due to lower expense associated with our long-term incentive plan in the current quarter and a separation fee paid to a former executive in second quarter 2015, partially offset by higher
30
deferred board of director fees due to an increasing price in our limited partner units during 2016 compared to a decreasing price during 2015.
Interest expense, net of interest income and interest capitalized, increased $4.0 million in second quarter 2016, primarily because our debt balance was higher in the current period compared to the same period in second quarter 2015, partially offset by higher capitalized interest. Our average outstanding debt increased from $3.3 billion in second quarter 2015 to $3.8 billion in second quarter 2016 primarily due to borrowings for expansion capital expenditures, including $650.0 million of senior notes issued in February 2016. Our weighted-average interest rate of 4.9% in second quarter 2016 was slightly higher than the 4.8% rate incurred in second quarter 2015.
In second quarter 2016, we recognized an additional $1.2 million gain related to the transfer of our 50% membership interest in Osage. See Note 4 – Investments in Non-Controlled Entities of the consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 of Part I of this report for more details regarding this transaction.
Other income decreased $4.6 million due to a less favorable non-cash adjustment for the change in the current period in the differential between the current spot price and forward price on fair value hedges associated with our crude oil tank bottoms.
Provision for income taxes increased $0.9 million due to favorable accrual adjustments in second quarter 2015 resulting from a reduction in the tax rate.

Transportation and terminals revenue increased $23.6 million resulting from:
• | an increase in refined products revenue of $13.6 million primarily attributable to higher average tariff rates and increased shipments. The average rate per barrel in the current period was favorably impacted by the mid-year 2015 tariff rate increase of 4.6%. Shipments increased 2% in the current period primarily associated with higher gasoline shipments; |
• | an increase in crude oil revenue of $10.2 million primarily due to higher average rates and more shipments on our Longhorn pipeline system and new leased storage contracts. Overall crude oil shipments declined and average rate per barrel increased due to fewer barrels moving on our lower-priced Houston distribution system tariff structure to their ultimate destination. Instead, customers utilized space available on our capacity lease for shipments from BridgeTex pipeline; and |
• | a slight decrease in marine storage revenue of $0.2 million as lower ancillary fees resulting from reduced customer activity and lower utilization were largely offset by higher average storage rates. |
Operating expenses increased by $8.4 million primarily resulting from:
• | an increase in refined products expenses of $5.2 million primarily due to more product handling costs related to the receipt of off-spec product during 2016, higher costs related to asset replacements, increased personnel costs and less favorable product overages (which reduce operating expenses), partially offset by lower environmental costs, asset integrity spending and property taxes; |
• | an increase in crude oil expenses of $1.2 million primarily due to increased personnel costs, additional environmental accruals due to a product release in the current year and higher property taxes, partially offset by more favorable product overages (which reduce operating expenses), and lower power costs; and |
• | an increase in marine storage expenses of $2.3 million primarily due to higher asset integrity spending related to the timing of tank maintenance work. |
Product margin increased $8.6 million compared to 2015 due to favorable gains recognized from changes in related NYMEX contracts somewhat offset by lower sales prices as a result of reduced commodity prices. See Other Items—Commodity Derivative Agreements—Impact of Commodity Derivatives on Results of Operations below for more information about our NYMEX contracts.
Earnings of non-controlled entities decreased $1.1 million primarily attributable to decreased earnings from BridgeTex due to lower shipments during the current period, as well as lower earnings from Osage due to the transfer of our 50% membership interest in first quarter 2016.
Depreciation and amortization increased $5.0 million primarily due to expansion capital projects placed into service.
G&A was $2.0 million higher primarily due to higher deferred board of director fees due to an increasing price in our limited partner units during 2016 compared to a decreasing price during 2015 and higher headcount, partially offset by a separation fee paid to a former executive in 2015.
Interest expense, net of interest income and interest capitalized, increased $6.5 million in 2016, primarily because our debt balance was higher in the current period compared to the same period in 2015, partially offset by higher capitalized interest. Our average outstanding debt increased from $3.2 billion in 2015 to $3.8 billion in 2016 primarily due to borrowings for expansion capital expenditures, including $650.0 million of senior notes issued in February 2016. Our weighted-average interest rate of 4.8% in 2016 was comparable to 2015.
In 2016, we recognized a $28.1 million gain related to the transfer of our 50% membership interest in Osage. See Note 4 – Investments in Non-Controlled Entities of the consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 of Part I of this report for more details regarding this transaction.

Other income decreased $2.0 million due to a less favorable non-cash adjustment for the change in the differential between the current spot price and forward price on fair value hedges associated with our crude oil tank bottoms.
Distributable Cash Flow
We calculate the non-GAAP measures of distributable cash flow (“DCF”) and adjusted EBITDA in the table below. Management uses DCF as a basis for recommending to our general partner’s board of directors the amount of cash distributions to be paid to our limited partners each period. Management also uses DCF as a basis for determining the payouts for the performance-based awards issued under our equity-based compensation plan. Adjusted EBITDA is an important measure that we and the investment community use to assess the financial results of an entity. We believe that investors benefit from having access to the same financial measures utilized by management for these evaluations. A reconciliation of DCF and adjusted EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2016 to net income, which is its nearest comparable GAAP financial measure, follows (in millions):

(1) | In 2015, we adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2015-03, Interest: Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. Under this new accounting standard, we have reclassified debt issuance cost amortization expense as interest expense. For the purposes of calculating DCF, we have added back debt issuance cost amortization expense included in interest expense of $1.2 million and $1.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2016, respectively. |
(2) | Because we intend to satisfy vesting of units under our equity-based incentive compensation program with the issuance of limited partner units, expenses related to this program generally are deemed non-cash and added back for DCF purposes. Total equity-based incentive compensation expense for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2016 was $10.6 million and $10.1 million, respectively. However, the figures above include an adjustment for minimum statutory tax withholdings we paid in 2015 and 2016 of $17.8 million and $14.4 million, respectively, for equity-based incentive compensation units that vested on the previous year end, which reduces DCF. |
