Forward-Looking Statements

Except for statements of historical fact, all statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Forward-looking statements may be identified by words like “anticipates,” “believes,” “cause,” “changes,” “continue,” “could,” “decline,” “decrease,” “depend,” “develop,” “effect,” “estimates,” “expects,” “exposed,” “forecasts,” “future,” “goal,” “guidance,” “have,” “impact,” “implement,” “increase,” “intends,” “maintain,” “may,” “might,” “plans,” “potential,” “possible,” “projected,” “reduce,” “remain,” “result,” “seek,” “should,” “will,” “would” and other similar words or expressions. The absence of such words or expressions does not necessarily mean the statements are not forward-looking. Although we believe our forward-looking statements are reasonable, statements made regarding future results are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to numerous assumptions, uncertainties and risks that are difficult to predict, including those described in Part I, Item 1A – Risk Factors of our Annual Report on Form 10-K. Actual outcomes and results may be materially different from the results stated or implied in such forward-looking statements included in this report. You should not put any undue reliance on any forward-looking statement.

The following are among the important factors that could cause future results to differ materially from any expected, projected, forecasted or estimated amounts, events or circumstances discussed in this report:

•changes in demand for refined products, crude oil or liquefied petroleum gases (“LPGs”);

•price fluctuations for refined products, crude oil or LPGs and expectations about future prices for these products;

•changes in the production of crude oil in the basins served by our pipelines or terminals;

•changes in general economic conditions, including inflation or recession;

•changes in the financial condition of our customers, vendors, derivatives counterparties, lenders or joint venture co-owners;

•our ability to secure financing in the credit and capital markets in amounts and on terms that will allow us to execute our business strategy, refinance our existing obligations when due and maintain adequate liquidity;

•development and increasing use of alternative sources of energy, including but not limited to electric and battery-powered motors, natural gas, hydrogen and renewable fuels such as ethanol, biodiesel and other products not typically transported via pipeline

•regulatory changes or technological developments that result in increases in fuel efficiency or conservation that reduce demand for our services;

•changes in population in the markets served by our refined products pipeline system and changes in consumer preferences, driving patterns or rates of automobile ownership;

•changes in the product quality, throughput or interruption in service of refined products or crude oil pipelines owned and operated by third parties and connected to our assets;

•changes in demand for transportation, storage or other services we provide for refined products or crude oil;

•changes in supply and demand patterns for our services due to geopolitical events, conflicts, or the activities of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (“OPEC”) and other non-OPEC oil producing countries with large production capacity;

•changes in United States (“U.S.”) trade policies or in laws governing the importing or exporting of petroleum products;

•our ability to manage interest rate and commodity price exposures;

•changes in our tariff rates or other terms of service required by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (“FERC”) or state regulatory agencies;

•shut-downs or cutbacks at refineries, oil fields, petrochemical plants or other customers or businesses that use or supply our assets or services;

•the effect of weather patterns or other natural phenomena, including climate change, on our operations and demand for our services;

•an increase in the competition we encounter, including the effects of capacity over-build in the areas where we operate;

•the occurrence of wars, conflicts, natural disasters, epidemics, terrorism, cyberattacks, sabotage, protests, activism, operational hazards, equipment failures, system failures or other unforeseen interruptions, as well as global and domestic repercussions from and any government responses to any such events;

•our ability to obtain adequate levels of insurance at a reasonable cost, and the potential for losses to exceed the insurance coverage we do obtain;

•the treatment of us as a corporation for federal or state income tax purposes or if we become subject to significant forms of other taxation or more aggressive interpretation or increased assessments under existing forms of taxation;

•our ability to identify expansion projects, accretive acquisitions and joint ventures with acceptable expected returns and to complete these projects on time and at projected costs;

•our ability to successfully execute our capital allocation priorities, including unit repurchases, with acceptable expected returns;

•the effect of changes in accounting policies and uncertainty of estimates, including accruals and costs of environmental remediation;

•our ability to cooperate with and rely on our joint venture co-owners;

•actions by rating agencies concerning our credit ratings;

•our ability to timely obtain and maintain all necessary approvals, consents and permits required to operate our existing assets and to construct, acquire and operate any new or modified assets;

•our ability to promptly obtain all necessary services, materials, labor, supplies and rights-of-way required for maintenance and operation of our current assets and construction of our growth projects, without significant delays, disputes or cost overruns;

•risks inherent in the use and security of information systems in our business and implementation of new software and hardware;

•changes in laws and regulations or the interpretation of laws and regulations that govern our blending activities or changes regarding product quality specifications or renewable fuel obligations that impact our ability to produce petroleum products through our blending activities or that require significant capital outlays for compliance;

•changes in laws and regulations or the interpretation of laws and regulations to which we or our customers are subject, including those related to tax withholding requirements, reporting, safety, security, employment, hydraulic fracturing, derivatives transactions, trade and the environment, including laws and regulations designed to address climate change;

•the cost and effects of legal and administrative claims and proceedings against us, our subsidiaries or our joint ventures;

•the amount of our indebtedness, which could make us vulnerable to general adverse economic and industry conditions, limit our ability to borrow additional funds, place us at competitive disadvantages compared to our competitors that have less debt or have other adverse consequences;

•the potential that our internal controls may not be adequate, weaknesses may be discovered or remediation of any identified weaknesses may not be successful;

•the ability and intent of our customers, vendors, lenders, joint venture co-owners or other third parties to perform their contractual obligations to us; and

•other factors and uncertainties inherent in the transportation, storage and distribution of petroleum products and the operation, acquisition and construction of assets related to such activities.

This list of important factors is not exhaustive. The forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report speak only as of the date hereof, and we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events, changes in assumptions or otherwise, unless required by law.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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. Magellan Midstream Partners, L.P. is a Delaware limited partnership, and our common 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. The board of directors of our general partner is referred to herein as our “board.”

Description of Business

We are principally engaged in the transportation, storage and distribution of refined petroleum products and crude oil. As of March 31, 2023, our asset portfolio consisted of:

•our refined products segment, comprised of our approximately 9,800-mile refined petroleum products pipeline system with 54 terminals and two marine storage terminals (one of which is owned through a joint venture); and

•our crude oil segment, comprised of approximately 2,200 miles of crude oil pipelines, a condensate splitter and 39 million barrels of aggregate storage capacity, of which approximately 29 million barrels are used for contract storage. Approximately 1,000 miles of these pipelines, the condensate splitter and 31 million barrels of this storage capacity (including 25 million barrels used for contract storage) are wholly-owned, with the remainder owned through joint ventures.

Description of Products

The following terms are commonly used in our industry to describe products that we transport, store, distribute or otherwise handle through our petroleum pipelines and terminals:

•refined products are the output from crude oil refineries that are primarily used as fuels by consumers. Refined products include gasoline, diesel fuel, aviation fuel, kerosene and heating oil. Diesel fuel, kerosene and heating oil are also referred to as distillates;

•crude oil, which includes condensate, is a naturally occurring unrefined petroleum product recovered from underground that is used as feedstock by refineries, splitters and petrochemical facilities;

•transmix is a mixture that forms when different refined products are transported in pipelines. Transmix is fractionated and blended into usable refined products; and

•LPGs are liquids produced as by-products of the crude oil refining process and in connection with crude oil and natural gas production. LPGs include gas liquids such as butane, natural gasoline and propane.

We use the term petroleum products to describe any, or a combination, of the above-noted products. In addition, we handle, store and distribute renewable fuels, such as ethanol, biodiesel and renewable diesel.

MAGELLAN MIDSTREAM PARTNERS, L.P.

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, 2022, which is derived from our audited financial statements, include all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly our financial position as of March 31, 2023, the results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2023 and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2023. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2023 for several reasons. Profits from our gas liquids 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 refined products pipeline system, generally trends higher during the summer driving months. Further, the volatility of commodity prices impacts the profits from our commodity activities and the volume of petroleum products we transport on our pipelines.

Pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the financial statements in

this report have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. 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, 2022.

Significant Accounting Polices

In addition to our significant accounting policies disclosed in Part II, Item 8 – Financial Statements and Supplementary Data of our Annual Report on Form 10-K, we add the following descriptions of cost of product sales and operating expenses.

Cost of Product Sales. Cost of product sales includes costs associated with the purchase of petroleum products, transportation and storage expenses, renewable fuel standard expenses, gains or losses on hedges for product purchases, and costs related to our blending and fractionating activities including compensation, utilities and power and depreciation.

Operating Expenses. Operating expenses principally include costs associated with asset maintenance, compensation, utilities and power, materials and supplies, environmental remediation, product overages and shortages, property tax, and insurance.

Discontinued Operations

In June 2022, we completed the sale of the independent terminals network comprised of 26 refined petroleum products terminals in the southeastern U.S. to Buckeye Partners, L.P. (“Buckeye”). For the prior periods impacted, the related results of operations, financial position and cash flows have been classified as discontinued operations (see Note 2 – Discontinued Operations for additional details). Additionally, the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements relate to continuing operations with the exception of Note 9 Employee Benefit Plans, which includes the impact of discontinued operations for the 2022 period.

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

MAGELLAN MIDSTREAM PARTNERS, L.P.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

on the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

New Accounting Pronouncements

We evaluate new Accounting Standards Codifications (“ASC”) and updates issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board on an ongoing basis. There are no new accounting pronouncements that we anticipate will have a material impact on our financial statements.

2.Discontinued Operations

Summarized Results of Discontinued Operations

The following table provides the summarized results that have been presented as discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of income for the three months ended March 31, 2022 (in millions):



	March 31, 2022
Transportation and terminals revenue	$	12.1
Product sales revenue	6.3
Total revenue	18.4
Costs and expenses:
Operating	3.8
Cost of product sales	10.5

General and administrative	0.6
Total costs and expenses	14.9


Income from discontinued operations	$	3.5

Summarized Assets and Liabilities of Discontinued Operations

Subsequent to the sale of the independent terminals network on June 8, 2022, no assets or liabilities were classified as held for sale in relation to discontinued operations.

MAGELLAN MIDSTREAM PARTNERS, L.P.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

3.Segment Disclosures

Our reportable segments are strategic business units that offer different products and services. Our segments are managed separately because each segment requires different marketing strategies and business knowledge. Management evaluates performance based on segment operating margin, which includes revenue from affiliates and third-party customers, intersegment transactions, operating expenses, cost of product sales, other operating (income) expense 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, amortization and impairment expense and general and administrative (“G&A”) expense that management does not consider when evaluating the core profitability of our separate operating segments.

Other Debt

Revolving Credit Facility. At March 31, 2023, the total borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facility was $1.0 billion, of which $88.1 million matures in May 2024 and the remaining $911.9 million matures in November 2027. Any borrowings outstanding under this facility are classified as long-term debt in our consolidated balance sheets. Borrowings under the facility are unsecured and bear interest at Term SOFR and a credit spread adjustment of 0.10% plus a spread ranging from 0.875% to 1.500% based on our credit ratings. Additionally, an unused commitment fee is assessed at a rate between 0.075% and 0.200% depending on our credit ratings. The unused commitment fee was 0.125% at March 31, 2023. Borrowings under this facility may be used for general purposes, including capital expenditures. As of December 31, 2022 and March 31, 2023, there were no borrowings outstanding under this facility and $3.5 million was obligated for letters of credit. Amounts obligated for letters of credit are not reflected as debt in our consolidated balance sheets, but decrease our borrowing capacity under this facility.

Our revolving credit facility requires us to maintain a specified ratio of consolidated debt to EBITDA (as defined in the credit agreement) of no greater than 5.0 to 1.0. In addition, the revolving credit facility and the indentures under which our senior notes were issued contain covenants that limit our ability to, among other things, incur indebtedness secured by certain liens or encumber our assets, engage in certain sale-leaseback transactions and consolidate, merge or dispose of all or substantially all of our assets. We were in compliance with these covenants as of and during the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Commercial Paper Program. We have a commercial paper program under which we may issue commercial paper notes in an amount up to the available capacity under our $1.0 billion revolving credit facility. The maturities

MAGELLAN MIDSTREAM PARTNERS, L.P.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

of the commercial paper notes vary, but may not exceed 397 days from the date of issuance. Because the commercial paper we can issue is limited to amounts available under our revolving credit facility, amounts outstanding under the program are classified as long-term debt. 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. There were no borrowings outstanding at March 31, 2023. The weighted average interest rate for commercial paper borrowings based on the number of days outstanding was 4.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

8.Leases

10.Long-Term Incentive Plan

The compensation committee of our board administers our long-term incentive plan (“LTIP”) covering certain of our employees and the independent directors of our board. The LTIP primarily consists of phantom units and permits the grant of awards covering an aggregate payout of 13.7 million of our common units. The estimated units remaining available under the LTIP at March 31, 2023 totaled approximately 1.4 million.

MAGELLAN MIDSTREAM PARTNERS, L.P.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

Equity-based incentive compensation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2023, primarily recorded as G&A expense on our consolidated statements of income, was as follows (in millions):


	Three Months Ended March 31,

Performance-based awards	$	8.0	$	4.7
Time-based awards	6.4		1.7
Total	$	14.4	$	6.4

On February 8, 2023, 487,369 unit awards were granted pursuant to our LTIP. These awards included both performance-based and time-based awards and have a three-year vesting period that will end on December 31, 2025.

Basic and Diluted Net Income Per Common Unit

The difference between our actual common units outstanding and our weighted average number of common units outstanding used to calculate net income per common unit is due to the impact of: (i) the phantom units issued to our independent directors, (ii) unit awards granted to retirees or employees of retirement age and (iii) the weighted average effect of units actually issued or repurchased during a period. The difference between the weighted average number of common units outstanding used for basic and diluted net income per unit calculations on our consolidated statements of income is primarily the dilutive effect of phantom unit awards granted pursuant to our LTIP, which have not yet vested in periods where contingent performance metrics have been met.

Fair Value Methods and Assumptions - Financial Assets and Liabilities

We used the following methods and assumptions in estimating the fair value of our financial assets and liabilities:

•Commodity derivatives contracts. These include exchange-traded and over-the-counter derivative contracts related to petroleum products. These contracts are carried at fair value in our consolidated balance sheets. The exchange-traded contracts are valued based on quoted prices in active markets, while the over-the-counter contracts are valued based on observable market data inputs including published commodity pricing data. See Note 11 – Derivative Financial Instruments for further disclosures regarding these contracts.

MAGELLAN MIDSTREAM PARTNERS, L.P.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

•Long-term receivables. These include payments receivable under a sales-type leasing arrangement and cost reimbursement agreements. These receivables were recorded at fair value in our consolidated balance sheets, using then-current market rates to estimate the present value of future cash flows.

•Investment in Double Eagle. In December 2022, as a result of the non-renewal on existing terms of customer commitments that expire in 2023 and reduced demand for transportation of condensate from the Eagle Ford basin, we evaluated our investment in Double Eagle for an other-than-temporary impairment. The fair value was measured using an income approach and discounted cash flow analysis, which resulted in us recording a $58.4 million charge to earnings in 2022 to adjust the carrying value of our investment to fair value.

•Contractual obligations. These primarily included a long-term contractual obligation we entered into in connection with the 2020 sale of three marine terminals to a subsidiary of Buckeye. This obligation requires us to perform certain environmental remediation work on Buckeye’s behalf at the New Haven, Connecticut terminal. This contractual obligation was recorded at fair value in our consolidated balance sheets upon initial recognition and was calculated using our best estimate of potential outcome scenarios to determine our liability for the remediation costs required in this agreement.

•Debt. The fair value of our publicly traded notes was based on the prices of those notes at December 31, 2022 and March 31, 2023; 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.

Fair Value Measurements - Financial Assets and Liabilities

The following tables summarize the carrying amounts, fair values and fair value measurements recorded or disclosed as of December 31, 2022 and March 31, 2023 based on the three levels established by ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (in millions):

13.Commitments and Contingencies

Butane Blending Patent Infringement Proceeding

On October 4, 2017, Sunoco Partners Marketing & Terminals L.P. (“Sunoco”) brought an action for patent infringement in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware alleging Magellan and Powder Springs Logistics, LLC (“Powder Springs”) were infringing patents relating to butane blending. A trial concluded on December 6, 2021, at which the jury found Magellan and Powder Springs willfully infringed those patents. Based on the jury’s award and post-trial proceedings, the total amount awarded to Sunoco is approximately $23.0 million, plus post-judgment interest that continues to accrue. Sunoco and defendants, Magellan and Powder Springs, have appealed the final judgment of the trial court. The amounts we have accrued in relation to the claims represent our best estimate of probable damages, and although it is not possible to predict the ultimate outcome, we do not expect the final resolution of this matter to have a material adverse effect on our business.

Corpus Christi Terminal Personal Injury Proceeding

Ismael Garcia, Andrew Ramirez, and Jesus Juarez Quintero, et al. brought personal injury cases against Magellan and co-defendants Triton Industrial Services, LLC, Tidal Tank, Inc. and Cleveland Integrity Services, Inc. in Nueces County Court in Texas. The claims were originally brought in three different actions but were consolidated into a single case on March 2, 2021. Claims were asserted by or on behalf of seven individuals and certain beneficiaries. The seven individuals were employed by a contractor of Magellan and were injured, one fatally, as a result of a fire that occurred on December 5, 2020 while they were cleaning a tank at our Corpus Christi terminal. The plaintiffs are seeking damages of an undetermined amount. While the outcome cannot be predicted, we do not expect the final resolution of this matter to have a material adverse effect on our business.

Environmental Liabilities

Liabilities recognized for estimated environmental costs were $10.2 million at December 31, 2022 and $9.7 million at March 31, 2023. We have classified environmental liabilities as current or noncurrent based on management’s estimates regarding the timing of actual payments. Environmental expenses recognized as a result of changes in our environmental liabilities are included as operating expenses in our consolidated statements of income. Environmental expenses were $0.9 million and $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2023, respectively.

behalf at the New Haven, Connecticut terminal. At December 31, 2022 and March 31, 2023, our balance sheet included a current liability of $0.6 million and a noncurrent liability of $8.2 million, reflecting the fair values of these obligations, respectively.

We have entered into an agreement to guarantee our 50% pro rata share, up to $50.0 million, of contractual obligations under the Powder Springs’ credit facility. As of December 31, 2022 and March 31, 2023, our consolidated balance sheets reflected a $0.8 million other current liability and a corresponding increase in our investment in non-controlled entities on our consolidated balance sheets to reflect the fair value of this guarantee.

We and the non-controlled entities in which we own an interest are a party to various other claims, legal actions and complaints. 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 business.

14.Related Party Transactions

Stacy P. Methvin is an independent member of our board and also serves as a director of one of our customers. We received tariff, terminalling and other ancillary revenue from this customer of $15.1 million and $21.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2023, respectively. We recorded receivables of $6.8 million and $6.1 million from this customer at December 31, 2022 and March 31, 2023, respectively.

See Note 5 – Investments in Non-Controlled Entities and Note 8 – Leases for details of related party transactions with our joint ventures.

15.Partners’ Capital and Distributions

Partners’ Capital

Our board authorized the repurchase of up to $1.5 billion of our common units through 2024. The timing, price and actual number of common units repurchased will depend on a number of factors including our expected expansion capital spending needs, excess cash available, balance sheet metrics, legal and regulatory requirements, market conditions and the trading price of our common units. The repurchase program does not obligate us to acquire any particular amount of common units and may be suspended or discontinued at any time.

The following table details the changes in the number of our common units outstanding from December 31, 2022 through March 31, 2023:


Common units outstanding on December 31, 2022						203,033,837
Units repurchased during 2023						(1,198,222)
January 2023—Settlement of employee LTIP awards						223,168
During 2023—Other(1)						36,817
Common units outstanding on March 31, 2023						202,095,600

(1) Common units issued to settle the equity-based retainers paid to independent directors of our board.

Distributions

Distributions we paid during 2022 and 2023 were as follows (in millions, except per unit amounts):


Payment Date	Per Unit Distribution Amount			Total Distribution

(1) Our board declared this distribution in April 2023 to be paid on May 15, 2023 to unitholders of record at the close of business on May 8, 2023. The estimated total distribution is based upon the number of common units currently outstanding.

16.Subsequent Events

Recognizable events

No recognizable events occurred subsequent to March 31, 2023.

Non-recognizable events

Distribution. In April 2023, our board declared a quarterly distribution of $1.0475 per unit for the period of January 1, 2023 through March 31, 2023. This quarterly distribution will be paid on May 15, 2023 to unitholders of record on May 8, 2023.

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 March 31, 2023, our asset portfolio consisted of:

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, 2022.

Recent Developments

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 table, is an important measure used by management to evaluate the economic performance of our core operations. Operating margin is not a U.S. 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 table. Operating profit includes expense items, such as depreciation, amortization and impairment expense and general and administrative (“G&A”) expense, which management does not focus on when evaluating the core profitability of our operating segments. Additionally, we include product margin in this table, which is calculated as product sales revenue less cost of product sales, and is synonymous with the GAAP measure gross margin. Management primarily uses product margin to evaluate the profitability of our commodity related activities.

(1) Includes shipments related to our crude oil marketing activities.

(2) These volumes reflect the total shipments for these joint venture pipelines, which are owned 30% by us.

Transportation and terminals revenue increased $31.2 million primarily resulting from:

•an increase in refined products revenue of $22.5 million primarily due to higher average tariff rates. The higher rates were largely the result of our 6% average mid-year 2022 tariff increase as well as a higher proportion of long-haul shipments, which move at higher rates, as customers took advantage of the extensive connectivity of our pipeline system to overcome various supply disruptions in the Midcontinent and West Texas regions of the U.S. in the current period. Decreased transportation volumes mainly resulted from lower shipments on our South Texas pipeline segment, which move at lower rates, due to third-party supply disruptions in first quarter 2023; and

•an increase in crude oil revenue of $9.6 million primarily due to higher overall transportation volumes on our Houston distribution system, which move at a lower average rate, and an increase in dock fee revenue related to higher throughput in the current period.

Operating expenses increased $9.7 million primarily resulting from:

•an increase in refined products expenses of $7.4 million primarily due to less favorable product overages (which reduce operating expenses) and higher compensation costs in the current period; and

•an increase in crude oil expenses of $3.3 million primarily due to higher integrity spending related to the timing of maintenance work and higher rental costs for incremental capacity necessary to access more volume.

Product margin increased $87.3 million primarily due to improved margins and higher sales volumes on our blending activities, additional crude oil marketing opportunities and recognition of gains on futures contracts in the current period versus losses in the prior year.

Other operating income was $7.8 million favorable primarily due to the sale of air emission credits in the current period.

Earnings of non-controlled entities decreased $9.2 million primarily due to decreased contributions from BridgeTex resulting from lower shipments and less deficiency revenue recognized in the current period. This amount was partially offset by higher Powder Springs earnings due to incremental blending margins and higher sales volumes as well as recognition of gains on futures contracts in the current period versus losses in the prior year.

Depreciation, amortization and impairment expense decreased $1.9 million primarily due to the timing of asset retirements.

G&A expense decreased $2.4 million primarily due to expenses related to the retirement agreement for our former chief executive officer in 2022, mostly offset by higher compensation and increased technology costs in the first quarter of 2023.

Interest expense, net of interest income and interest capitalized, decreased $0.7 million. Our weighted average debt outstanding was $5.1 billion in first quarter 2023 compared to $5.3 billion in first quarter 2022. The weighted average interest rate was 4.5% in first quarter 2023 compared to 4.2% in first quarter 2022.

Income from discontinued operations decreased by $3.5 million due to the sale of our independent terminals network in second quarter 2022.

Adjusted EBITDA, Distributable Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow

In the following tables, we present the financial measures of adjusted EBITDA, distributable cash flow (“DCF”) and free cash flow (“FCF”), which are non-GAAP measures. For the prior periods impacted, these measures include the results of our discontinued operations.

Adjusted EBITDA is an important measure utilized by management and the investment community to assess the financial results of a company. A reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to net income, the nearest comparable GAAP measure, is included in the table below.

Our partnership agreement requires that all of our available cash, less amounts reserved by our board, be distributed to our unitholders. DCF is used by management to determine the amount of cash that our operations generated, after maintenance capital spending, that is available for distribution to our unitholders, as well as a basis for recommending to our board the amount of distributions to be paid each period. We also use DCF as the basis for calculating our performance-based equity long-term incentive compensation. A reconciliation of DCF to net income, the nearest comparable GAAP measure, is included in the table below.

FCF is a financial metric used by many investors and others in the financial community to measure the amount of cash generated by a company during a period after accounting for all investing activities, including both maintenance and expansion capital spending, as well as proceeds from divestitures. We believe FCF is important to the financial community as it reflects the amount of cash available for distributions, additional expansion capital opportunities, equity repurchases, debt reduction or other partnership uses. A reconciliation of FCF to net cash provided by operating activities, which is the nearest comparable GAAP measure, is included in the subsequent table below.

Since the non-GAAP measures presented here include adjustments specific to us, they may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures of other companies.

Adjusted EBITDA, DCF and FCF are non-GAAP measures. A reconciliation of each of these measures to net income for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2023 is as follows (in millions):

Free cash flow	$	239.5	$	280.6
Distributions paid(8)	(220.6)		(213.0)
Free cash flow after distributions	$	18.9	$	67.6

(1) Depreciation, amortization and impairment expense is excluded from DCF to the extent it represents a non-cash expense.

(2) Because we intend to satisfy vesting of unit awards under our equity-based long-term incentive compensation plan with the issuance of common units, expenses related to this plan generally are deemed non-cash and excluded for DCF purposes. The amounts above have been reduced by cash payments associated with the plan, which are primarily related to tax withholdings.

(3) Gains on disposition of assets are excluded from DCF to the extent they are not related to our ongoing operations, while proceeds from disposition of assets exclude the related gains to the extent they are already included in our calculation of DCF.

(4) Certain derivatives have not been designated as hedges for accounting purposes and the mark-to-market changes of these derivatives are recognized currently in net income. We exclude the net impact of these derivatives from our determination of DCF until the transactions are settled and, where applicable, the related products are sold.

(5) We adjust DCF for lower of average cost or net realizable value adjustments related to inventory and firm purchase commitments as well as market valuation of short positions recognized each period as these are non-cash items. In subsequent periods when we sell or purchase the related products, we recognize these valuation adjustments in DCF.

(6) Maintenance capital expenditures maintain our existing assets and do not generate incremental DCF (i.e. incremental returns to our unitholders). For this reason, we deduct maintenance capital expenditures to determine DCF.

(7) Includes additions to property, plant and equipment (excluding maintenance capital and capital-related changes in current liabilities), acquisitions and investments in non-controlled entities, net of distributions from returns of investments in non-controlled entities and deposits from undivided joint interest third parties.

(8) We paid cash distributions of $1.0375 and $1.0475 per unit during first quarter 2022 and 2023, respectively. Distributions paid declined between years because of lower units outstanding as a result of our equity repurchase program, with 212.6 million and 203.3 million units eligible for distributions during the respective periods.

A reconciliation of FCF to net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2023 is as follows (in millions):

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Flows and Capital Expenditures

Operating Activities. Net cash provided by operating activities was $100.4 million and $351.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2023, respectively. The $251.1 million increase in 2023 was due to changes in our operating assets and liabilities (as described below) and higher net income as previously described.

The changes in operating assets and liabilities decreased cash from operating activities by $145.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and increased cash from operating activities by $2.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. This change is due primarily to changes in accounts receivable, which vary from period to period with changes in commodity prices and the timing of product sales, and changes in inventories, primarily due to higher commodity prices in 2022 and lower volumes in 2023.

Investing Activities. Net cash used by investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2023 was $46.6 million and $44.0 million, respectively, including $44.9 million and $44.0 million used for capital expenditures for those same periods in 2022 and 2023, respectively.

Financing Activities. Net cash used by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2023 was $51.5 million and $302.4 million, respectively. During the 2023 period, we paid distributions of $213.0 million to our unitholders and repurchased common units for $47.5 million. Additionally, we made net commercial paper payments of $32.0 million. During the 2022 period, we paid distributions of $220.6 million to our unitholders and repurchased common units for $50.0 million. Additionally, we had net commercial paper borrowings of $228.0 million.

The quarterly distribution amount related to first quarter 2023 earnings is $1.0475 per unit (to be paid in second quarter 2023). If we were to continue paying distributions at this level on the number of common units currently outstanding, total distributions of approximately $847 million would be paid to our unitholders related to 2023 earnings. Management believes we will have sufficient DCF to fund these distributions.

Capital Requirements

Capital spending for our business consists primarily of:

•Maintenance capital expenditures. These expenditures include costs required to maintain equipment reliability and safety and to address environmental and other regulatory requirements rather than to generate incremental DCF; and

•Expansion capital expenditures. These expenditures are undertaken primarily to generate incremental DCF and include costs to acquire additional assets to grow our business and to expand or upgrade our existing facilities and to construct new assets, which we refer to collectively as organic growth projects. Organic growth projects include, for example, capital expenditures that increase storage or throughput volumes or develop pipeline connections to new supply sources.

For the three months ended March 31, 2023, our maintenance capital spending was $14.2 million. For all of 2023, we expect to spend approximately $90.0 million on maintenance capital.

During the first three months of 2023, we spent $32.0 million for our expansion capital projects. Based on the progress of projects already committed, we expect to spend a total of approximately $120.0 million in 2023 and $40.0 million in 2024 to complete our current slate of expansion capital projects.

In addition, we may repurchase our common units through our unit repurchase program (see Item 2 – Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds of Part II of this report for additional details). We may also repurchase portions of our existing long-term debt from time-to-time through open market transactions, tender offers or privately-negotiated transactions.

Liquidity

Cash generated from operations is a key source of liquidity for funding debt service, maintenance capital expenditures, quarterly distributions and repurchases of common units. Additional liquidity for purposes other than quarterly distributions, such as expansion capital expenditures, is available through borrowings under our commercial paper program and revolving credit facility, as well as from other borrowings or issuances of debt or common units (see Note 7 – Debt and Note 15 – Partners’ Capital and Distributions in Item I of Part I of this report for detail of our borrowings and changes in partners’ capital).

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

None.

Other Items

Proposed Regulations. Governments continue to introduce new rules and regulations that could increase the costs of or reduce demand for our goods and services. For example, on April 12, 2023, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) proposed two new sets of regulations designed to accelerate the conversion from internal combustion vehicles to electric vehicles. The first proposed rule, which covers light-duty cars and trucks, would require a reduction in fleet average carbon dioxide emissions by roughly half, which the EPA projects would lead to 67% of light -duty vehicles sold in 2032 to be electric only. The second proposed rule, which covers heavy-duty vehicles, is estimated by the EPA to result in half of new vocational vehicles and 25% of long-haul vehicles sold in 2032 to be electric. Both proposed rules are subject to public comment, agency amendments and potential litigation.

Pipeline Tariff Changes. The tariff rates on approximately 30% of our refined products shipments are regulated by the FERC primarily through an annual inflation-based index methodology, and nearly all the remaining rates are adjustable at our discretion based on market factors. Based on the latest preliminary PPI-FG estimate for 2022, the ceiling level for our index-based rates will increase by 13.3% in July 2023. While we continue to evaluate changes to our tariffs, based on our most recent analyses we currently expect to increase our refined products rates by an average of approximately 11% on July 1, 2023. Most of the tariffs on our long-haul crude oil pipelines are established at negotiated rates that generally provide for annual adjustments in line with changes in the FERC index, subject to certain modifications. We currently expect to increase the rates on our long-haul crude oil pipelines between 2% and 5% in July 2023.

Leadership Changes. James R. Hoskin was elected by our board as Senior Vice President of Operations in February 2023. Mr. Hoskin served as Vice President of Operations since 2021 and various positions of increasing responsibilities in operations and engineering and construction since joining us in 2007.

Commodity Derivative Agreements. Certain of our business activities result in our owning various commodities, which exposes us to commodity price risk. We use forward physical commodity contracts and derivative instruments to hedge against changes in prices of commodities that we expect to sell or purchase in future periods.

See Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk for further information regarding the quantities of refined products and crude oil hedged at March 31, 2023 and the fair value of open hedge contracts at that date.

Related Party Transactions. See Note 14 – Related Party Transactions in Item 1 of Part I of this report for detail of our related party transactions.

ITEM 3.QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We may be exposed to market risk through changes in commodity prices and interest rates and have established policies to monitor and mitigate these market risks. We use derivative agreements to help manage our exposure to commodity price and interest rate risks.

Our commodity price risk primarily arises from our gas liquids blending, fractionation and petroleum products marketing activities, as well as from managing product overages and shortages associated with our refined products and crude oil pipelines and terminals. We use forward physical contracts and derivative instruments to help us manage commodity price risk.

Forward physical contracts that qualify for and are elected as normal purchases and sales are accounted for using traditional accrual accounting. As of March 31, 2023, we had commitments under forward purchase and sale contracts as follows (in millions):


	Total		2023		2024-2027		Beyond 2027
Forward purchase contracts – notional value	$	389.8	$	163.5	$	135.0	$	91.3
Forward purchase contracts – barrels	9.3		2.9		3.7		2.7
Forward sales contracts – notional value	$	98.1	$	98.1	$	—	$	—
Forward sales contracts – barrels	1.2		1.2		—		—

We generally use derivative instruments including exchange-traded futures contracts and over-the-counter forward contracts to hedge against changes in the price of petroleum products we expect to sell or purchase. We did not elect hedge accounting treatment under Accounting Standards Codification 815, Derivatives and Hedging for our open contracts and as a result we accounted for these contracts as economic hedges, with changes in fair value recognized currently in earnings. The fair value of these open contracts, representing 4.1 million barrels of petroleum products we expect to sell and 0.8 million barrels of gas liquids we expect to purchase, was a net liability of $3.6 million as of March 31, 2023. With respect to these contracts, a $10.00 per barrel increase (decrease) in the prices of petroleum products we expect to sell would result in a $41.0 million decrease (increase) in our operating profit, while a $10.00 per barrel increase (decrease) in the price of gas liquids we expect to purchase would result in a $8.0 million increase (decrease) in our operating profit. These increases or decreases in operating profit would be substantially offset by higher or lower product sales revenue or cost of product sales when the physical sale or purchase of those products occurs, respectively. These contracts may be for the purchase or sale of products in markets different from those in which we are attempting to hedge our exposure, and the related hedges may not eliminate all price risks.

Interest Rate Risk

Our use of variable rate debt and any future issuances of fixed rate debt expose us to interest rate risk. As of March 31, 2023, we had no variable rate commercial paper outstanding.

ITEM 4.CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

We performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. We performed this evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”). Based upon that evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Our disclosure controls and procedures include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including the CEO and the CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2023 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II

OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Butane Blending Patent Infringement Proceeding. On October 4, 2017, Sunoco Partners Marketing & Terminals L.P. (“Sunoco”) brought an action for patent infringement in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware alleging Magellan and Powder Springs Logistics, LLC (“Powder Springs”) were infringing patents relating to butane blending. A trial concluded on December 6, 2021, at which the jury found Magellan and Powder Springs willfully infringed those patents. Based on the jury’s award and post-trial proceedings, the total amount awarded to Sunoco is approximately $23.0 million, plus post-judgment interest that continues to accrue. Sunoco and defendants, Magellan and Powder Springs, have appealed the final judgment of the trial court. The amounts we have accrued in relation to the claims represent our best estimate of probable damages, and although it is not possible to predict the ultimate outcome, we do not expect the final resolution of this matter to have a material adverse effect on our business.

Corpus Christi Terminal Personal Injury Proceeding. Ismael Garcia, Andrew Ramirez, and Jesus Juarez Quintero, et al. brought personal injury cases against Magellan and co-defendants Triton Industrial Services, LLC, Tidal Tank, Inc. and Cleveland Integrity Services, Inc. in Nueces County Court in Texas. The claims were originally brought in three different actions but were consolidated into a single case on March 2, 2021. Claims were asserted by or on behalf of seven individuals and certain beneficiaries. The seven individuals were employed by a contractor of Magellan and were injured, one fatally, as a result of a fire that occurred on December 5, 2020 while they were cleaning a tank at our Corpus Christi terminal. The plaintiffs are seeking damages of an undetermined amount. While the outcome cannot be predicted, we do not expect the final resolution of this matter to have a material adverse effect on our business.

ITEM 1A.RISK FACTORS

In addition to the information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K are not our only risks. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or operating results.

ITEM 2.UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

Our board authorized the repurchase of up to $1.5 billion of our common units through 2024. We intend to purchase our common units from time-to-time through a variety of methods, including open market purchases and negotiated transactions, all in compliance with Securities Exchange Act Rules 10b-18, 10b5-1 or both and other applicable legal requirements. The timing, price and actual number of common units repurchased will depend on a number of factors including our expected expansion capital spending, excess cash available, balance sheet metrics, legal and regulatory requirements, market conditions and the trading price of our common units. The program does not obligate us to acquire any particular amount of common units and may be suspended or discontinued at any time.

The table below reflects our common units repurchased during 2023.


Period	Total Number of Common Units Purchased	Average Price Paid Per Unit		Total Number of Units Purchased as Part of Publicly Announced Program	Approximate Dollar Value of Units That May Yet Be Purchased under the Program (in millions)(1)
