EXPLANATORY NOTE

PBF Logistics LP (“PBFX” or the “Partnership”) is a Delaware limited partnership formed in February 2013. PBF Logistics GP LLC (“PBF GP” or “our general partner”) serves as the general partner of PBFX. PBF GP is wholly-owned by PBF Energy Company LLC (“PBF LLC”). PBF Energy Inc. (“PBF Energy”) is the sole managing member of PBF LLC and, as of September 30, 2019, owned 99.0% of the total economic interest in PBF LLC. In addition, PBF LLC is the sole managing member of PBF Holding Company LLC (“PBF Holding”), a Delaware limited liability company and affiliate of PBFX. PBF LLC owns 29,953,631 PBFX common units constituting an aggregate 48.2% limited partner interest in PBFX, with the remaining 51.8% limited partner interest owned by public unitholders as of September 30, 2019.

Unless the context otherwise requires, references in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Form 10-Q”) to “Predecessor,” and “we,” “our,” “us,” or like terms, when used in the context of periods prior to the completion of certain acquisitions from PBF LLC, refer to PBF MLP Predecessor, our predecessor for accounting purposes (our “Predecessor”), which includes assets, liabilities and results of operations of certain crude oil, refined products, natural gas and intermediates transportation, terminaling and storage assets, previously operated and owned by PBF Holding’s subsidiaries and PBF Holding’s previously held subsidiaries. As of September 30, 2019, PBF Holding, together with its subsidiaries, owns and operates five oil refineries and related facilities in North America. PBF Energy, through its ownership of PBF LLC, controls all of the business and affairs of PBFX and PBF Holding.

References in this Form 10-Q to “PBF Logistics LP,” “PBFX,” the “Partnership” and “we,” “our,” or “us,” or like terms used in the context of periods on or after the completion of certain acquisitions from PBF LLC, refer to PBF Logistics LP and its subsidiaries.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Form 10-Q (including information incorporated by reference) contains certain “forward-looking statements,” as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, which involve risks and uncertainties. You can identify forward-looking statements because they contain words such as “believes,” “expects,” “may,” “should,” “seeks,” “approximately,” “intends,” “plans,” “estimates,” or “anticipates” or similar expressions that relate to our strategy, plans or intentions. All statements we make relating to our estimated and projected earnings, margins, costs, expenditures, cash flows, growth rates and financial results or to our expectations regarding future industry trends are forward-looking statements. In addition, we, through our senior management, from time to time, make forward-looking public statements concerning our expected future operations and performance and other developments. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that may change at any time; therefore, our actual results may differ materially from those that we expected. We derive many of our forward-looking statements from our operating budgets and forecasts, which are based on many detailed assumptions. While we believe that our assumptions are reasonable, we caution that it is very difficult to predict the impact of known factors, and, of course, it is impossible for us to anticipate all factors that could affect our actual results.

Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations, which we refer to as “cautionary statements,” are disclosed under “Item 1A. Risk Factors,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and elsewhere in this Form 10-Q; in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 (our “2018 Form 10-K”) and in our other filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). All forward-looking information in this Form 10-Q and subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us, or persons acting on our behalf, are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements. Some of the factors that we believe could affect our results include:


•	our limited operating history as a separate public partnership;


•	changes in general economic conditions;


•	our ability to make, complete and integrate acquisitions from affiliates or third parties, and to realize the benefits from such acquisitions;


•	our ability to have sufficient cash from operations to enable us to pay the minimum quarterly distribution;


•	competitive conditions in our industry;


•	actions taken by our customers and competitors;


•	the supply of, and demand for, crude oil, refined products, natural gas and logistics services;


•	our ability to successfully implement our business plan;


•	our dependence on PBF Energy for a substantial majority of our revenue subjects us to the business risks of PBF Energy, which include the possibility that contracts will not be renewed because they are no longer beneficial for PBF Energy;


•	a substantial majority of our revenue is generated at PBF Energy’s facilities, particularly at PBF Energy’s Delaware City, Toledo and Torrance refineries, and any adverse development at any of these facilities could have a material adverse effect on us;


•	our ability to complete internal growth projects on time and on budget;


•	the price and availability of debt and equity financing;


•	operating hazards and other risks incidental to the receiving, handling, storage and transferring of crude oil, refined products, natural gas and intermediates;


•	natural disasters, weather-related delays, casualty losses and other matters beyond our control;


•	interest rates;


•	labor relations;


•	changes in the availability and cost of capital;


•	the effects of existing and future laws and governmental regulations, including those related to the shipment of crude oil by rail;


•	changes in insurance markets impacting costs and the level and types of coverage available;


•	the timing and extent of changes in commodity prices and demand for PBF Energy’s refined products and natural gas and the differential in the prices of different crude oils;


•	the suspension, reduction or termination of PBF Energy’s obligations under our commercial agreements;


•	disruptions due to equipment interruption or failure at our facilities, PBF Energy’s facilities or third-party facilities on which our business is dependent;


•	incremental costs as a separate public partnership;


•	our general partner and its affiliates, including PBF Energy, have conflicts of interest with us and limited duties to us and our unitholders, and they may favor their own interests to the detriment of us and our other common unitholders;


•	our partnership agreement restricts the remedies available to holders of our common units for actions taken by our general partner that might otherwise constitute breaches of fiduciary duty;


•	holders of our common units have limited voting rights and are not entitled to elect our general partner or its directors;


•	our tax treatment depends on our status as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as well as our not being subject to a material amount of entity level taxation by individual states;


•	changes at any time (including on a retroactive basis) in the tax treatment of publicly traded partnerships, including related impacts on potential dropdown transactions with PBF LLC, or an investment in our common units;


•	our unitholders will be required to pay taxes on their share of our taxable income even if they do not receive any cash distributions from us;


•	the effects of future litigation; and


•	other factors discussed elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.

We caution you that the foregoing list of important factors may not contain all of the material factors that are important to you. In addition, in light of these risks and uncertainties, the matters referred to in the forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-Q may not in fact occur. Accordingly, investors should not place undue reliance on those statements.

Our forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this Form 10-Q. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the U.S., we undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the foregoing.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT BARREL, UNIT AND PER UNIT DATA)

1. DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

PBFX engages in the receiving, handling, storage and transferring of crude oil, refined products, natural gas and intermediates. The Partnership does not take ownership of or receive any payments based on the value of the crude oil, products, natural gas or intermediates that it handles and does not engage in the trading of any commodities. PBFX’s assets are integral to the operations of PBF Holding’s refineries, and, as a result, the Partnership continues to generate a substantial majority of its revenue from transactions with PBF Holding. Additionally, certain of PBFX’s assets also generate revenue from third-party transactions.

On February 28, 2019, the Partnership closed on an Equity Restructuring Agreement (the “IDR Restructuring Agreement”) with PBF LLC and PBF GP, pursuant to which PBFX’s incentive distribution rights (“IDRs”) held by PBF LLC were canceled and converted into 10,000,000 newly issued PBFX common units (the “IDR Restructuring”). Transaction costs related to the IDR Restructuring were $2,104 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and are included in “General and administrative expenses” within the Partnership’s condensed consolidated statements of operations. Subsequent to the closing of the IDR Restructuring, no distributions were made to PBF LLC with respect to the IDRs, and the newly issued PBFX common units are entitled to normal distributions.

On April 24, 2019, the Partnership entered into a Contribution Agreement with PBF LLC (the “TVPC Contribution Agreement”), pursuant to which PBF LLC contributed to the Partnership all of the issued and outstanding limited liability company interests of TVP Holding Company LLC (“TVP Holding”) for total consideration of $200,000 (the “TVPC Acquisition”). Subsequent to the closing of the TVPC Acquisition on May 31, 2019, the Partnership owns 100% of the equity interest in Torrance Valley Pipeline Company LLC (“TVPC”). Refer to Note 3 “Acquisitions” of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion regarding the TVPC Acquisition.

Principles of Combination and Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

In connection with, and subsequent to, PBFX’s initial public offering (“IPO”), the Partnership has acquired certain assets from PBF LLC (collectively referred to as the “Contributed Assets”). Such acquisitions completed subsequent to the IPO were made through a series of drop-down transactions with PBF LLC (collectively referred to as the “Acquisitions from PBF”). The assets, liabilities and results of operations of the Contributed Assets prior to their acquisition by PBFX are collectively referred to as the “Predecessor.” The transactions through which PBFX acquired the Contributed Assets were transfers of assets between entities under common control. Accordingly, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes present the results of operations and cash flows of our Predecessor for all periods presented prior to the effective date of each transaction. The financial statements of our Predecessor have been prepared from the separate records maintained by PBF Energy and may not necessarily be indicative of the conditions that would have existed or the results of operations if the Predecessor had been operated as an unaffiliated entity. See (i) the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 (the “2018 Form 10-K”) for additional information regarding the Acquisitions from PBF and the agreements that were entered into or amended with related parties in connection with these acquisitions and (ii) Note 3 “Acquisitions” of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion regarding the TVPC Acquisition.

PBF LOGISTICS LP

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT BARREL, UNIT AND PER UNIT DATA)

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, PBFX has included all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of PBFX for the periods presented. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.

The Predecessor generally did not operate its respective assets for the purpose of generating revenue independent of other PBF Energy businesses prior to the IPO or the effective dates of the Acquisitions from PBF, with the exception of the Paulsboro Lube Oil Terminal (as defined in Note 3 “Acquisitions” of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Reclassifications

Certain amounts previously reported in the Partnership’s condensed consolidated financial statements for prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the presentation within this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. These reclassifications include the separation of “Accounts payable” and “Accrued liabilities” into two line items within the Partnership’s condensed consolidated balance sheets and statements of cash flows, as well as the corresponding statements within Note 13 “Condensed Consolidating Financial Statements of PBF Logistics” of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)” (“ASC 842”) to increase the transparency and comparability of leases among entities. ASC 842 supersedes the lease accounting guidance in ASC 840 “Leases,” and requires lessees to recognize a lease liability and a corresponding lease asset for virtually all lease contracts. It also requires additional disclosures about leasing arrangements. The Partnership adopted ASC 842 effective January 1, 2019, using a modified retrospective approach. The adoption of ASC 842 resulted in the inclusion of less than $1,000 of operating leases recorded on the Partnership’s balance sheets, with operating lease right of use assets recorded in “Other non-current assets” and operating lease liabilities recorded in “Accrued liabilities” or “Other long-term liabilities” based on the future timing of lease payments. The adoption of ASC 842 did not materially impact the Partnership’s statements of operations or statements of cash flows. The Partnership’s condensed consolidated financial statements for the periods prior to the adoption of ASC 842 are not adjusted and are reported in accordance with the Partnership’s historical accounting policy. See Note 2 “Revenue” of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information about the impact of ASC 842 to the Partnership as a lessor.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, “Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment” (“ASU 2017-04”) to provide updated guidance on goodwill impairment testing. Under ASU 2017-04, Step 2 of the goodwill impairment analysis would be eliminated. This step required a comparison of the implied fair value to the carrying value of goodwill of the reporting unit. Subsequent to the effective date of ASU 2017-04, during the annual, or if applicable, interim goodwill impairment assessment, entities would perform the test by comparing the fair value of the reporting unit with the carrying value of the reporting unit. The impairment charge would be the excess amount of which carrying value is greater than fair value, with the total amount limited to the carrying value of goodwill. ASU 2017-04 is effective for goodwill impairment assessments beginning after December 15, 2019. The Partnership early adopted the new standard effective January 1, 2019, and the adoption did not have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326); Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” (“ASU 2016-13”). This guidance amends the guidance on measuring credit losses on financial assets held at amortized cost. ASU 2016-13 requires the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Partnership does not expect that the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

2. REVENUE

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to our customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Partnership expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services.

As noted in Note 11 “Segment Information” of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the Partnership’s business consists of two reportable segments: (i) Transportation and Terminaling and (ii) Storage.

The following table provides information relating to the Partnership’s revenue for each service category by segment for the periods presented:



	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2019		2018		2019		2018
Transportation and Terminaling Segment
Terminaling	$	39,399	$	31,387	$	105,904	$	87,848
Pipeline	21,089		19,886		60,042		57,592
Other	12,781		12,738		42,938		37,375
Total	73,269		64,011		208,884		182,815
Storage Segment
Storage	13,108		6,545		39,088		20,580
Total	13,108		6,545		39,088		20,580
Total Revenue	$	86,377	$	70,556	$	247,972	$	203,395

PBFX recognizes revenue by charging fees for crude oil and refined products terminaling, storage and pipeline services based on the greater of the contractual minimum volume commitment (“MVC”), as applicable, or the delivery of actual volumes transferred or stored based on contractual rates applied to throughput or storage volumes.

Minimum Volume Commitments

Transportation and Terminaling Segment

The Partnership’s Transportation and Terminaling segment consists of product terminals, pipelines, crude unloading facilities and other facilities capable of transporting and handling crude oil, refined products and natural gas. Certain of the Transportation and Terminaling commercial agreements contain MVCs. Under these commercial agreements, if the Partnership’s customer fails to transport its minimum throughput volumes during any specified period, the customer will pay the Partnership a deficiency payment equal to the volume of the deficiency multiplied by the contractual rate then in effect. The deficiency payment is initially recorded as deferred revenue on the

PBF LOGISTICS LP

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT BARREL, UNIT AND PER UNIT DATA)

Partnership’s balance sheets for all contracts in which the MVC deficiency makeup period is contractually longer than a fiscal quarter.

Certain of the Partnership’s customers may apply the amount of any such deficiency payments as a credit for volumes transported on the applicable pipeline or terminal system in excess of its MVC during the following quarters under the terms of the applicable agreement. The Partnership recognizes operating revenue for the deficiency payments when credits are used for volumes transported in excess of MVCs or at the end of the contractual period. If the Partnership determines, based on all available information, that it is remote that the Partnership’s customer will utilize these deficiency payments, the amount of the expected unused credits will be recognized as operating revenue in the period when that determination is made. The use or recognition of the credits is recorded as a reduction to deferred revenue.

Storage Segment

The Partnership earns storage revenue under crude oil and refined products storage contracts through capacity reservation agreements, under which the Partnership collects a fee for reserving storage capacity for customers in its facilities. Customers generally pay reservation fees based on the level of storage capacity reserved rather than the actual volumes stored.

MVC Payments to be Received

As of September 30, 2019, MVC payments to be received related to noncancelable commercial terminaling, pipeline and storage agreements were as follows:



Remainder of 2019	$	29,611
2020	114,252
2021	113,355
2022	91,476

(1) All fixed consideration from contracts with customers is included in the amounts presented above. Variable consideration that is constrained or not required to be estimated as it reflects our efforts to perform is excluded.

(2) Arrangements deemed leases are excluded from this table.

Leases

Lessor Disclosure Following the Adoption of ASC 842

The Partnership has leased certain of its assets under lease agreements with varying terms up to fifteen years, including leases of storage, terminaling and pipeline assets. Certain of these leases include options to extend or renew the lease for one or more years. These options are included in the lease term when it is reasonably certain that the option will be exercised. The Partnership’s agreements generally do not provide an option for the lessee to purchase the leased equipment at the end of the lease term. However, in connection with the affiliate lease agreement for the interstate natural gas pipeline at PBF Holding’s Paulsboro Refinery (the “Paulsboro Natural Gas Pipeline”), the Partnership granted a right of first refusal in favor of PBF LLC such that the Partnership would be required to give PBF Holding the first opportunity to purchase the Paulsboro Natural Gas Pipeline at market value prior to selling to an unrelated third party.

At inception, the Partnership determines if an arrangement contains a lease and whether that lease meets the classification criteria of a finance or operating lease. As of September 30, 2019, all of the Partnership’s leases have been determined to be operating leases. Some of the Partnership’s lease arrangements contain lease components

PBF LOGISTICS LP

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT BARREL, UNIT AND PER UNIT DATA)

(e.g., MVCs) and non-lease components (e.g., maintenance, labor charges, etc.). The Partnership accounts for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component for every asset class.

Certain of the Partnership’s lease agreements include MVCs that are adjusted periodically for an index or rate. The leases are initially measured using the projected payments adjusted for the index or rate in effect at the commencement date. The Partnership’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

The Partnership expects to derive significant future benefits from its leased assets following the end of the lease term, as the remaining useful life would be sufficient to allow the Partnership to enter into new leases for such assets.

In the normal course of business, the Partnership enters into contracts with PBF Holding and its refineries whereby PBF Holding and its refineries lease certain of the Partnership’s storage, terminaling and pipeline assets. The Partnership believes the terms and conditions under these leases are generally no less favorable to either party than those that could have been negotiated with unaffiliated parties with respect to similar services. The terms for these affiliate leases range from one to fifteen years. Leases with affiliates represent approximately 87% of the undiscounted contractual future rental income from the Partnership’s leased assets.

The table below quantifies lease revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018:

Deferred Revenue

The Partnership records deferred revenue when cash payments are received or due in advance of performance, including amounts which are refundable. Deferred revenue was $3,041 and $2,960 as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. The increase in the deferred revenue balance as of September 30, 2019 is primarily driven by the timing and extent of cash payments received in advance of satisfying the Partnership’s performance obligations for the comparative periods.

The Partnership’s payment terms vary by the type and location of our customer and the services offered. The period between invoicing and when payment is due is not significant (i.e., generally within two months). For certain services and customer types, the Partnership requires payment before the services are performed for the customer.

3. ACQUISITIONS

Third-Party Acquisitions

Knoxville Terminals Purchase

On April 16, 2018, the Partnership’s wholly-owned subsidiary, PBF Logistics Products Terminals LLC (“PLPT”), completed the purchase of two refined product terminals located in Knoxville, Tennessee (the “Knoxville Terminals Purchase”), which include product tanks, pipeline connections to the Colonial Pipeline Company and Plantation Pipe Line Company pipeline systems and truck loading facilities (the “Knoxville Terminals”) from Cummins Terminals, Inc.

The aggregate purchase price for the Knoxville Terminals Purchase was $58,000, excluding working capital. The consideration was financed through a combination of cash on hand and borrowings under the Partnership’s Revolving Credit Facility (as defined in Note 6 “Debt” of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements). The final purchase price and fair value allocation were completed as of December 31, 2018.

PBFX accounted for the Knoxville Terminals Purchase as a business combination in accordance with GAAP whereby the Partnership recognizes assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their estimated fair values as of the date of acquisition. Any excess consideration transferred over the estimated fair values of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill.

(b)	During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, PBFX incurred net borrowings of $127,000 under the Revolving Credit Facility to fund the TVPC Acquisition, the remaining East Coast Storage Assets Acquisition payment, other capital expenditures and working capital requirements.

Fair Value Measurement

A fair value hierarchy (Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3) is used to categorize fair value amounts based on the quality of inputs used to measure fair value. Accordingly, fair values derived from Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Fair values derived from Level 2 inputs are based on quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs other than quoted prices that are either directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability.

The estimated fair value of the Revolving Credit Facility approximates its carrying value, categorized as a Level 2 measurement, as this borrowing bears interest based on short-term floating market interest rates. The estimated fair value of the Partnership’s 6.875% Senior Notes due 2023 (the “2023 Notes”), categorized as a Level 2 measurement, was calculated based on the present value of future expected payments utilizing implied current market interest rates based on quoted prices of the 2023 Notes and was approximately $543,136 and $515,336 at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. The carrying value and fair value of PBFX’s debt, exclusive of unamortized debt issuance costs and unamortized premium on the 2023 Notes, was $808,000 and $826,136 as of September 30, 2019, respectively, and $681,000 and $671,336 as of December 31, 2018, respectively.

7. EQUITY

PBFX had 32,157,201 common units held by the public outstanding as of September 30, 2019. PBF LLC owns 29,953,631 PBFX common units constituting an aggregate of 48.2% of PBFX’s limited partner interest as of September 30, 2019.

Share Activity

The partnership agreement authorizes PBFX to issue an unlimited number of additional partnership interests for the consideration of, and on the terms and conditions determined by, PBFX’s general partner without the approval of the unitholders. It is possible that PBFX will fund future acquisitions through the issuance of additional common units, subordinated units or other partnership interests.

On February 28, 2019, as a result of the closing of the IDR Restructuring, PBFX’s IDRs held by PBF LLC were canceled and converted into 10,000,000 newly issued PBFX common units. On April 24, 2019, the Partnership entered into subscription agreements to sell an aggregate of 6,585,500 common units to certain institutional investors in a registered direct public offering (the “April Registered Direct Offering”) for gross proceeds of approximately $135,000. The April Registered Direct Offering closed on April 29, 2019.

Additionally, 233,993 of the Partnership’s phantom units issued under the PBFX 2014 Long-Term Incentive Plan vested and were converted into common units held by certain directors, officers and current and former employees of our general partner or its affiliates during the year ended December 31, 2018.

Holders of any additional common units PBFX issues will be entitled to share equally with the then-existing common unitholders in PBFX’s distributions of available cash.

Noncontrolling Interest

Prior to the TVPC Acquisition, PBFX’s wholly-owned subsidiary, PBFX Operating Company LP (“PBF Op Co”), held a 50% controlling equity interest in TVPC, with the other 50% equity interest in TVPC held by TVP Holding, a subsidiary of PBF Holding. PBFX Op Co was the sole managing member of TVPC. PBFX, through its ownership of PBFX Op Co, consolidated the financial results of TVPC and recorded a noncontrolling interest for the economic interest in TVPC held by TVP Holding. Noncontrolling interest on the condensed consolidated statements of operations included the portion of net income or loss attributable to the economic interest in TVPC held by TVP Holding. Noncontrolling interest on the condensed consolidated balance sheets included the portion of net assets of TVPC attributable to TVP Holding.

Subsequent to the TVPC Acquisition, PBFX owns 100% of the equity interest in TVPC and no longer records a noncontrolling interest related to TVPC.

Cash Distributions

PBFX’s partnership agreement sets forth the calculation to be used to determine the amount and priority of cash distributions that the unitholders and general partner will receive.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, PBFX made distribution payments as follows:



Related Earnings Period:	Q4 2018		Q1 2019		Q2 2019
Distribution date	March 14, 2019		May 30, 2019		August 30, 2019
Record date	March 1, 2019		May 15, 2019		August 15, 2019
Per unit	$	0.5050	$	0.5100	$	0.5150
To public common unitholders	$	12,825	$	16,398	$	16,560
To PBF LLC	15,126		15,276		15,426
Total distribution	$	27,951	$	31,674	$	31,986

The allocation of total quarterly distributions to general and limited partners for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 is shown in the table below. The Partnership’s distributions are declared subsequent to quarter end (distributions of $0.5200 and $0.5000 per unit declared for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, $0.5150 and $0.4950 per unit declared for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $0.5100 and $0.4900 per unit declared for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively); therefore, the table represents total estimated distributions applicable to the period in which the distributions are earned:



	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2019		2018		2019		2018
IDR - PBF LLC ⁽¹⁾	$	—	$	3,641	$	—	$	10,011
Limited partners’ distributions:
Common	32,709		23,028		97,188		66,792
Total distributions	32,709		26,669		97,188		76,803
Total cash distributions ⁽²⁾	$	32,298	$	26,315	$	95,958	$	75,728

(1) Subsequent to the closing of the IDR Restructuring, the IDRs were canceled, no distributions were made to PBF LLC with respect to the IDRs and the newly issued PBFX common units are entitled to normal distributions.

(2) Excludes phantom unit distributions, which are accrued and paid upon vesting.

8. NET INCOME PER UNIT

Earnings in excess of distributions are allocated to the limited partners based on their respective ownership interests. Payments made to PBFX’s unitholders are determined in relation to actual distributions declared and are not based on the net income (loss) allocations used in the calculation of net income (loss) per unit.

Diluted net income per unit includes the effect of potentially dilutive units of PBFX’s common units that consist of unvested phantom units. There were 625 and 13,063 anti-dilutive phantom units for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, compared to 8,750 and 145,500 anti-dilutive phantom units for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively.

In addition to the common units, PBFX has also identified the IDRs (prior to the IDR Restructuring) as participating securities and used the two-class method when calculating the net income per unit applicable to limited partners that is based on the weighted-average number of common units outstanding during the prior period.

(IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT BARREL, UNIT AND PER UNIT DATA)

When calculating basic earnings per unit under the two-class method for a master limited partnership, net income for the current reporting period is reduced by the amount of available cash that has been or will be distributed to the limited partners and IDR holder (prior to the IDR Restructuring) for that reporting period.

The following tables show the calculation of net income per limited partner unit:

9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Environmental Matters

PBFX’s assets, along with PBF Energy’s refineries, are subject to extensive and frequently changing federal, state and local laws and regulations, including, but not limited to, those relating to the discharge of materials into the environment or that otherwise relate to the protection of the environment, waste management and the characteristics and the composition of fuels. Compliance with existing and anticipated laws and regulations can increase the overall cost of operating the Partnership’s assets, including remediation, operating costs and capital costs to construct, maintain and upgrade equipment and facilities.

PBFX recorded a total liability related to environmental remediation costs at certain of its assets of $2,408 and $2,587 as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, related to existing environmental liabilities.

During the first quarter of 2019, the Partnership notified certain agencies of an oil sheen present in the Schuylkill River near one of its facilities. Clean-up, identification and mitigation of the source was immediately initiated. The Partnership is working on a remedial investigation and action plan with the state agency. Although response activities are nearly complete, remediation costs will not be finalized until the action plan is complete. Incremental costs are not expected to be material to the Partnership.

Contingent Consideration

In connection with the East Coast Storage Assets Acquisition, the purchase and sale agreement between the Partnership and Crown Point included a provision for the Contingent Consideration. Pursuant to the purchase and sale agreement, the Partnership and Crown Point will share equally in the future operating profits of the restarted assets, as defined in the purchase and sale agreement, over a contractual term of up to three years starting in 2019. The Contingent Consideration recorded was $23,832 as of September 30, 2019 ($21,100 as of December 31, 2018) representing the present value of expected future payments discounted at a blended rate of 8.79% and is included in “Other long-term liabilities” within the Partnership’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. At September 30, 2019, the estimated undiscounted liability totaled $27,978, based on the Partnership’s anticipated total annual earn-out payments. Certain of the acquired idled assets recommenced operations on October 25, 2019.

10. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Agreements with PBF Energy Entities

Commercial Agreements

PBFX currently derives a majority of its revenue from long-term, fee-based agreements with PBF Holding, supported by MVCs, as applicable, and contractual fee escalations for inflation adjustments and certain increases in operating costs. PBFX believes the terms and conditions under these agreements, as well as the Omnibus Agreement and the Services Agreement (each as defined below), each with PBF Holding, are generally no less favorable to either party than those that could have been negotiated with unaffiliated parties with respect to similar services.

(IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT BARREL, UNIT AND PER UNIT DATA)

See the 2018 Form 10-K for a more complete description of PBFX’s commercial agreements with PBF Holding, including those identified as leases, which were entered into prior to 2019. The following table reflects activity during 2019 related to commercial agreements between PBFX and PBF Holding:

Storage
East Coast Storage Assets Terminal Storage Agreement	1/1/2019	8 years	Evergreen	2,953,725 barrels (f)	PBFX or PBF Holding can declare

___________________


(a)	PBF Holding has the option to extend the agreements for up to two additional five-year terms, as applicable.


(b)	In 2019, the Partnership amended (effective as of January 1, 2019) the existing Amended and Restated Rail Agreements between Delaware City Terminaling Company LLC (“DCTC”) and PBF Holding for the inclusion of services through certain rail infrastructure at the East Coast Storage Assets.

(c)

In connection with the inclusion of an additional destination at the Magellan connection under the Delaware Pipeline Services Agreement, Delaware Pipeline Company LLC (“DPC”) and PBF Holding agreed to a two-year, five-month MVC (the “Magellan MVC”) under the Delaware Pipeline Services Agreement. The Magellan MVC expired on March 31, 2019, subsequent to which, the Partnership has been billing actual throughput on the Magellan connection.


(d)	The Delaware City Terminaling Services Agreement between DCTC and PBF Holding will commence in 2022 subsequent to the expiration of the Amended and Restated Rail Agreements and includes additional services to be provided by PBFX as operator of other rail facilities owned by PBF Holding’s subsidiaries.


(e)	In connection with the TVPC Acquisition on May 31, 2019, the Torrance Valley Pipeline Transportation Services Agreement- South Pipeline was amended and restated to increase the MVC from 70,000 bpd to 75,000 bpd.


(f)	Reflects the overall shell capacity as stipulated by the storage agreement. The storage MVC is subject to the effective operating capacity of each tank, which can be impacted by routine tank maintenance and other factors. PBF Holding’s available shell capacity may be subject to change as agreed to by the Partnership and PBF Holding.

Other Agreements

In addition to the commercial agreements described above, PBFX has entered into an omnibus agreement with PBF GP, PBF LLC and PBF Holding, which has been amended and restated in connection with certain of the Acquisitions from PBF (as amended, the “Omnibus Agreement”). This agreement addresses the payment of an annual fee for the provision of various general and administrative services and reimbursement of salary and benefit costs for certain PBF Energy employees.

Additionally, PBFX has entered into an operation and management services and secondment agreement with PBF Holding and certain of its subsidiaries (as amended, the “Services Agreement”), pursuant to which PBF Holding and its subsidiaries provide PBFX with the personnel necessary for the Partnership to perform its

(IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT BARREL, UNIT AND PER UNIT DATA)

obligations under its commercial agreements. PBFX reimburses PBF Holding for the use of such employees and the provision of certain infrastructure-related services to the extent applicable to its operations, including storm water discharge and waste water treatment, steam, potable water, access to certain roads and grounds, sanitary sewer access, electrical power, emergency response, filter press, fuel gas, API solids treatment, fire water and compressed air. The Services Agreement will terminate upon the termination of the Omnibus Agreement, provided that the Partnership may terminate any service upon 30-days’ notice.

See the 2018 Form 10-K for a more complete description of the Omnibus Agreement and the Services Agreement.

Summary of Transactions

A summary of revenue and expense transactions with the Partnership’s affiliates, including expenses directly charged and allocated to the Partnership, is as follows:



	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2019		2018		2019		2018
Revenue	$	78,026	$	66,140	$	224,014	$	190,789

General and administrative expenses	1,863		1,927		5,377		5,364

11. SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Partnership’s operations are comprised of operating segments, which are strategic business units that offer different services in various geographical locations. PBFX has evaluated the performance of each operating segment based on its respective operating income. The operating segments adhere to the accounting polices used for the consolidated financial statements, as described in Note 2 “Summary of Accounting Policies” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2018 Form 10-K.

The Partnership’s operating segments are organized into two reportable segments: (i) Transportation and Terminaling and (ii) Storage. Operations that are not included in either the Transportation and Terminaling or the Storage segments are included in Corporate. The Partnership does not have any foreign operations.

The Partnership’s Transportation and Terminaling segment consists of operating segments that include product terminals, pipelines, crude unloading facilities and other facilities capable of transporting and handling crude oil, refined products and natural gas. The Partnership’s Storage segment consists of operating segments that include storage facilities capable of handling crude oil, refined products and intermediates.

Revenue is generated from third-party transactions as well as commercial agreements entered into with PBF Holding under which the Partnership receives fees for the transportation, terminaling and storage of crude oil, refined products and natural gas. The commercial agreements with PBF Holding are discussed in Note 10 “Related Party Transactions” of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Certain general and administrative expenses and interest and financing costs are included in Corporate as they are not directly attributable to a specific reporting segment. Identifiable assets are those used by the operating segments, whereas assets included in Corporate are principally cash, deposits and other assets that are not associated with operations specific to a reporting segment.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q. The following information and such unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should also be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes, together with our discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations in our 2018 Form 10-K. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that are based on management’s current expectations, estimates and projections about our business and operations. The cautionary statements made in this Form 10-Q should be read as applying to all related forward-looking statements wherever they appear in this Form 10-Q. Our actual results may differ materially from those currently anticipated and expressed in such forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors. You should read “Risk Factors” in our 2018 Form 10-K and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in this Form 10-Q. In this Item 2, all references to “we,” “us,” “our,” the “Partnership,” “PBFX” or similar terms for periods prior to the effective dates of each of the Acquisitions from PBF (as defined below) refer to the Predecessor. For periods subsequent to the effective dates of each of the Acquisitions from PBF, these terms refer to the Partnership and its subsidiaries.

Overview

We are a fee-based, growth-oriented, Delaware master limited partnership formed in February 2013 by subsidiaries of PBF Energy to own or lease, operate, develop and acquire crude oil and refined petroleum products terminals, pipelines, storage facilities and similar logistics assets. PBF GP is our general partner and is wholly-owned by PBF LLC. PBF Energy is the sole managing member of PBF LLC and, as of September 30, 2019, owned 99.0% of the total economic interest in PBF LLC. PBF LLC owns 29,953,631 PBFX common units constituting an aggregate 48.2% limited partner interest in PBFX, with the remaining 51.8% limited partner interest owned by public unitholders.

Our business includes the assets, liabilities and results of operations of certain crude oil, refined products, natural gas and intermediates terminaling, pipeline and storage assets, including those previously operated and owned by PBF Holding’s subsidiaries and PBF Holding’s previously held subsidiaries.

Business Developments

IDR Restructuring Agreement

On February 28, 2019, we closed on the transaction contemplated by the Equity Restructuring Agreement (the “IDR Restructuring Agreement”) with PBF LLC and PBF GP, pursuant to which PBFX’s incentive distribution rights (“IDRs”) held by PBF LLC were canceled and converted into 10,000,000 newly issued PBFX common units (the “IDR Restructuring”). Transaction costs related to the IDR Restructuring were $2.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and are included in “General and administrative expenses” within the Partnership’s condensed consolidated statements of operations. Subsequent to the closing of the IDR Restructuring, no distributions were made to PBF LLC with respect to the IDRs, and the newly issued PBFX common units are entitled to normal distributions.

April Registered Direct Offering

On April 24, 2019, we entered into subscription agreements to sell an aggregate of 6,585,500 common units to certain institutional investors in a registered direct public offering (the “April Registered Direct Offering”) for gross proceeds of approximately $135.0 million. The April Registered Direct Offering closed on April 29, 2019.

TVPC Acquisition

On April 24, 2019, we entered into a Contribution Agreement with PBF LLC (the “TVPC Contribution Agreement”), pursuant to which PBF LLC contributed to us all of the issued and outstanding limited liability company interests of TVP Holding Company LLC (“TVP Holding”), which held the remaining 50% equity interest in Torrance Valley Pipeline Company LLC (“TVPC”), for total consideration of $200.0 million (the “TVPC Acquisition”). Subsequent to the closing of the TVPC Acquisition on May 31, 2019, we own 100% of the equity interest in TVPC. The transaction was financed through a combination of proceeds from the April Registered Direct Offering and borrowings under our five-year $500.0 million amended and restated revolving credit facility (as amended, the “Revolving Credit Facility”).

Principles of Combination and Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

In general, our Predecessor did not historically operate its assets for the purpose of generating revenue independent of other PBF Energy businesses that we support. In connection with, and subsequent to, our initial public offering (“IPO”), we have acquired certain assets from PBF LLC (collectively referred to as the “Contributed Assets”). The acquisitions completed subsequent to the IPO were made through a series of drop-down transactions with PBF LLC (collectively referred to as the “Acquisitions from PBF”). Upon the closing of the IPO and the Acquisitions from PBF, we entered into commercial and service agreements with subsidiaries of PBF Energy, under which we operate our assets for the purpose of generating fee-based revenue. We receive, handle and transfer crude oil, refined products and natural gas from sources located throughout the U.S. and Canada and store crude oil, refined products and intermediates for PBF Energy in support of its refineries located in Paulsboro, New Jersey; Delaware City, Delaware; Toledo, Ohio; Chalmette, Louisiana; and Torrance, California. In addition, we generate third-party revenue from certain of our assets.

Agreements with PBF Energy Entities

Commercial Agreements

We currently derive a majority of our revenue from long-term, fee-based agreements with PBF Holding, supported by minimum volume commitment (“MVC”) stipulations, as applicable, and contractual fee escalations for inflation adjustments and certain increases in operating costs. We believe the terms and conditions under these agreements, as well as the Omnibus Agreement and the Services Agreement (each as defined below), each with PBF Holding, are generally no less favorable to either party than those that could have been negotiated with unaffiliated parties with respect to similar services.

Refer to our 2018 Form 10-K and Note 10 “Related Party Transactions” of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in “Item 1. Financial Statements” for a more complete description of our commercial agreements with PBF Holding, including those identified as leases.

Other Agreements

In addition to the commercial agreements described above, we have entered into an omnibus agreement with PBF GP, PBF LLC and PBF Holding, which has been amended and restated in connection with certain of the Acquisitions from PBF (as amended, the “Omnibus Agreement”). This agreement addresses the payment of an annual fee for the provision of various general and administrative services and reimbursement of salary and benefit costs for certain PBF Energy employees.

We have also entered into an operation and management services and secondment agreement with PBF Holding and certain of its subsidiaries (as amended, the “Services Agreement”), pursuant to which PBF Holding and its subsidiaries provide us with the personnel necessary for us to perform our obligations under our commercial agreements. We reimburse PBF Holding for the use of such employees and the provision of certain infrastructure-

related services to the extent applicable to our operations. The Services Agreement will terminate upon the termination of the Omnibus Agreement, provided that we may terminate any service upon 30-days’ notice.

See our 2018 Form 10-K for a more complete description of the Omnibus Agreement and the Services Agreement.

Factors Affecting the Comparability of Our Financial Results

Our results of operations may not be comparable to our historical results of operations due to our recent acquisition activity, which is discussed in Note 3 “Acquisitions” of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in “Item 1. Financial Statements,” the IDR Restructuring, recent debt and equity transactions and our annual inflation adjustment to our commercial agreements.

As a result of our recent acquisitions, we incurred additional revenue, operating and maintenance expenses and general and administrative expenses. As a result of the IDR Restructuring, which closed on February 28, 2019, IDRs held by PBF LLC were canceled and converted into 10,000,000 newly issued PBFX common units, no distributions were made to PBF LLC with respect to the IDRs and the newly issued PBFX common units are entitled to normal distributions. As a result of the TVPC Acquisition, we no longer record a noncontrolling interest related to TVPC on either the condensed consolidated balance sheets or the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Other Factors That Will Significantly Affect Our Results

Supply and Demand for Crude Oil, Refined Products and Natural Gas. We generate revenue by charging fees for receiving, handling, transferring, storing and throughputting crude oil, refined products and natural gas. A majority of our revenue is derived from MVC, fee-based commercial agreements with subsidiaries of PBF Energy with initial terms ranging from one to fifteen years, which enhance the stability of our cash flows. The volume of crude oil, refined products and natural gas that is throughput or stored depends substantially on PBF Energy’s operational needs which are largely impacted by refining margins. Refining margins are greatly dependent upon the price of crude oil or other refinery feedstocks, refined products and natural gas.

Factors driving the prices of petroleum-based commodities include supply and demand for crude oil, gasoline and other refined products. Supply and demand for these products depend on numerous factors outside of our control, including changes in domestic and foreign economies, weather conditions, domestic and foreign political affairs, production levels, logistics constraints, availability of imports, marketing of competitive fuels, crude oil price differentials and government regulation. Please read “Risk Factors” included in “Item 1A.” of our 2018 Form 10-K.

Acquisition and Organic Growth Opportunities. We may acquire additional logistics assets from PBF Energy or third parties. Under our Omnibus Agreement, subject to certain exceptions, we have a right of first offer on certain logistics assets owned by PBF Energy to the extent PBF Energy decides to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of those assets. We also have a right of first offer to acquire additional logistics assets that PBF Energy may construct or acquire in the future. Our commercial agreements provide us with options to purchase certain assets at PBF Holding’s refineries related to our business in the event PBF Energy permanently shuts down PBF Holding’s refineries. In addition, our commercial agreements provide us with the right to use certain assets at PBF Holding’s refineries in the event of a temporary shutdown. Furthermore, we may pursue strategic asset acquisitions from third parties or organic growth projects to the extent such acquisitions or projects complement our or PBF Energy’s existing asset base or provide attractive potential returns. We believe that we are well-positioned to acquire logistics assets from PBF Energy and third parties should such opportunities arise, and identifying and executing acquisitions and organic growth projects is a key part of our strategy. However, if we do not complete acquisitions or organic growth projects on economically acceptable terms, our future growth will be limited, and the acquisitions or projects we do complete may reduce, rather than increase, our cash available for distribution. These acquisitions and organic

growth projects could also affect the comparability of our results from period to period. We expect to fund future growth capital expenditures primarily from a combination of cash-on-hand, borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility and the issuance of additional equity or debt securities. To the extent we issue additional units to fund future acquisitions or expansion capital expenditures, the payments of distributions on those additional units may increase the risk that we will be unable to maintain or increase our per unit distribution level.

Third-Party Business. As of September 30, 2019, PBF Holding accounts for a substantial majority of our revenue and we continue to expect that a majority of our revenue for the foreseeable future will be derived from operations supporting PBF Energy’s refineries. We are examining further diversification of our customer base by potentially developing additional third-party throughput volumes in our existing system and continuing to expand our asset portfolio to service third-party customers. Unless we are successful in attracting additional third-party customers, our ability to increase volumes will be dependent on PBF Holding, which has no obligation under our commercial agreements to supply our facilities with additional volumes in excess of its MVCs. If we are unable to increase throughput or storage volumes, future growth may be limited.

How We Evaluate Our Operations

Our management uses a variety of financial and operating metrics to analyze our business and segment performance. These metrics are significant factors in assessing our operating results and profitability and include, but are not limited to, volumes, including terminal and pipeline throughput and storage capacity; operating and maintenance expenses; and EBITDA, EBITDA attributable to PBFX, Adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow. We define EBITDA, EBITDA attributable to PBFX, Adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow below.

Volumes. The amount of revenue we generate primarily depends on the volumes of crude oil, refined products and natural gas that we throughput at our terminaling and pipeline operations and our available storage capacity. These volumes are primarily affected by the supply of and demand for crude oil, refined products and natural gas in the markets served directly or indirectly by our assets. Although PBF Energy has committed to minimum volumes under the commercial agreements, our results of operations will be impacted by:


•	PBF Energy’s utilization of our assets in excess of the MVCs;


•	our ability to identify and execute accretive acquisitions and organic expansion projects and capture incremental PBF Energy or third-party volumes; and


•	our ability to increase throughput volumes at our facilities and provide additional ancillary services at those terminals and pipelines.

Operating and Maintenance Expenses. Our management seeks to maximize the profitability of our operations by effectively managing operating and maintenance expenses. These expenses are comprised primarily of labor expenses, outside contractor expenses, utility costs, insurance premiums, repairs and maintenance expenses and related property taxes. These expenses generally remain relatively stable across broad ranges of throughput volumes but can fluctuate from period to period depending on the mix of activities performed during that period and the timing of these expenses. We will seek to manage our maintenance expenditures on our assets by scheduling maintenance over time to avoid significant variability in our maintenance expenditures and to minimize their impact on our cash flow.

EBITDA, EBITDA Attributable to PBFX, Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow. We define EBITDA as net income (loss) before net interest expense (including amortization of loan fees and debt premium and accretion on discounted liabilities), income tax expense, depreciation and amortization expense. We define EBITDA attributable to PBFX as net income (loss) attributable to PBFX before net interest expense (including amortization of loan fees and debt premium and accretion on discounted liabilities), income tax expense, depreciation and amortization expense attributable to PBFX, which excludes the results of Acquisitions from PBF prior to the effective dates of such transactions. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA attributable to PBFX excluding acquisition and transaction costs, non-cash unit-based compensation expense and items that meet the conditions

of unusual, infrequent and/or non-recurring charges. We define distributable cash flow as EBITDA attributable to PBFX plus non-cash unit-based compensation expense, less cash interest, maintenance capital expenditures attributable to PBFX and income taxes. Distributable cash flow will not reflect changes in working capital balances. EBITDA, EBITDA attributable to PBFX, Adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow are not presentations made in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).

EBITDA, EBITDA attributable to PBFX, Adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow are non-GAAP supplemental financial measures that management and external users of our condensed consolidated financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies, may use to assess:


•	our operating performance as compared to other publicly traded partnerships in the midstream energy industry, without regard to historical cost basis or, in the case of EBITDA, financing methods;


•	the ability of our assets to generate sufficient cash flow to make distributions to our unitholders;


•	our ability to incur and service debt and fund capital expenditures; and


•	the viability of acquisitions and other capital expenditure projects and the economic returns on various investment opportunities.

We believe that the presentation of EBITDA, EBITDA attributable to PBFX and Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors in assessing our financial condition and results of operations and assists in evaluating our ongoing operating performance for current and comparative periods. We believe that the presentation of distributable cash flow provides useful information to investors as it is a widely accepted financial indicator used by investors to compare partnership performance and provides investors with another perspective of the operating performance of our assets and the cash our business is generating. EBITDA, EBITDA attributable to PBFX, Adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow should not be considered alternatives to net income, income from operations, net cash provided by operating activities or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP. EBITDA, EBITDA attributable to PBFX, Adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow have important limitations as analytical tools because they exclude some, but not all, items that affect net income and net cash provided by operating activities. Additionally, because EBITDA, EBITDA attributable to PBFX, Adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow may be defined differently by other companies in our industry, our definitions of such measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing their utility. EBITDA, EBITDA attributable to PBFX, Adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow are reconciled to net income and net cash provided by operating activities in “—Results of Operations” below.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2019 Compared to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2018

Summary. Our net income for the three months ended September 30, 2019 increased by approximately $4.0 million to $31.0 million from $27.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018. The increase in net income was primarily due to the following:


•	an increase in total revenue of approximately $15.8 million, or 22.4%, primarily attributable to operations of recently acquired or constructed assets, inflation rate adjustments implemented in accordance with certain of our commercial agreements (the “Inflation Rate Increase”) and higher throughput at certain of our assets; and


•	a decrease in general and administrative expenses of approximately $0.2 million, or 3.7%, as a result of decreased acquisition costs, offset by higher unit-based compensation expense;

offset by the following:

•

an increase in operating and maintenance expenses of approximately $7.6 million, or 36.3%, as a result of expenses related to the operations of recently acquired assets, increased utility expenses coinciding with higher throughput at certain of our assets, increased property tax expenses within our Transportation and Terminaling segment, remediation of product contamination costs at one of our terminals and higher environmental clean-up remediation costs (refer to Note 9 “Commitments and Contingencies” of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in “Item 1. Financial Statements” for a more complete description of our environmental clean-up remediation costs), offset by lower outside services expenses within our Transportation and Terminaling segment;


•	an increase in depreciation and amortization expenses of approximately $1.6 million, or 21.8%, related to the timing of acquisitions and new assets being placed in service;


•	an increase in interest expense, net of approximately $2.2 million, or 21.4%, attributable to higher borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility; and


•	an increase in accretion on discounted liabilities of approximately $0.7 million attributable to the accretion of the discounted liabilities recorded in connection with our purchase of CPI Operations LLC on October 1, 2018 (the “East Coast Storage Assets Acquisition”).

EBITDA attributable to PBFX for the three months ended September 30, 2019 increased by approximately $14.5 million to $53.5 million from $38.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 due to the factors noted above, excluding the impact of depreciation and amortization, interest expense, net, accretion on discounted liabilities and noncontrolling interest.

Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended September 30, 2019 increased by approximately $14.6 million to $55.5 million from $40.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 due to the factors noted above, excluding the impact of acquisition costs, unit-based compensation and certain environmental remediation costs.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019 Compared to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2018

Summary. Our net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 increased by approximately $4.0 million to $78.4 million from $74.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The increase in net income was primarily due to the following:

•

an increase in total revenue of approximately $44.6 million, or 21.9%, primarily attributable to operations of recently acquired or constructed assets, the Inflation Rate Increase and higher throughput at certain of our assets, offset by a decrease in revenue at our 24” interstate natural gas pipeline servicing PBF Holding’s Paulsboro Refinery (the “Paulsboro Natural Gas Pipeline”) due to a reduction in its pipeline tariff based on the lower than budget Paulsboro Natural Gas Pipeline project costs, which were finalized during the first quarter of 2019 (the “PNGPC Rate Adjustment”);

offset by the following:


•	an increase in operating and maintenance expenses of approximately $25.4 million, or 41.4%, as a result of expenses related to the operations of recently acquired assets, higher environmental clean-up remediation costs, remediation of product contamination costs at one of our terminals and increased utilities expenses coinciding with higher throughput at certain of our assets;


•	an increase in general and administrative expenses of approximately $2.6 million, or 17.0%, as a result of transaction costs related to the IDR Restructuring and higher unit-based compensation expense, offset by lower acquisition related costs;


•	an increase in depreciation and amortization expenses of approximately $5.5 million, or 25.8%, related to the timing of acquisitions and new assets being placed in service;


•	an increase in interest expense, net of approximately $4.7 million, or 15.7%, attributable to higher borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility; and


•	an increase in accretion on discounted liabilities of approximately $2.3 million attributable to the accretion of the discounted liabilities recorded in connection with the East Coast Storage Assets Acquisition.

EBITDA attributable to PBFX for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 increased by approximately $21.5 million to $132.8 million from $111.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 due to the factors noted above, excluding the impact of depreciation and amortization, interest expense, net, accretion on discounted liabilities and noncontrolling interest.

Adjusted EBITDA for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 increased by approximately $28.9 million to $146.7 million from $117.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 due to the factors noted above, excluding the impact of acquisition and transaction costs, unit-based compensation, certain environmental remediation costs and the PNGPC Rate Adjustment.

Segment Information

Our operations are comprised of operating segments, which are strategic business units that offer different services in various geographical locations. We review operations in two reportable segments: (i) Transportation and Terminaling and (ii) Storage. Decisions concerning the allocation of resources and assessment of operating performance are made based on this segmentation. Management measures the operating performance of each of our reportable segments based on the segment operating income. Segment operating income is defined as net revenue less operating expenses and depreciation and amortization. General and administrative expenses and interest expenses not included in the Transportation and Terminaling and Storage segments are included in Corporate. Segment reporting is further discussed in Note 11 “Segment Information” of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in “Item 1. Financial Statements.”

Revenue increased by approximately $18.5 million, or 89.9%, to $39.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to $20.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The increase in revenue was primarily attributable to the East Coast Storage Assets operations and the Inflation Rate Increase.

Operating and maintenance expenses. Operating and maintenance expenses increased by approximately $13.4 million, or 221.0%, to $19.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to $6.1 million

for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The increase in operating and maintenance expenses was primarily attributable to expenses associated with the East Coast Storage Assets, as well as increased maintenance activity.

Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense increased by approximately $3.0 million, or 109.7%, to $5.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to $2.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The increase in depreciation and amortization expense was primarily attributable to the timing of the East Coast Storage Assets Acquisition.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We expect our ongoing sources of liquidity to include cash generated from operations (including proceeds from our commercial agreements with PBF Holding), borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility and issuances of additional debt and equity securities as appropriate given market conditions. We expect that these sources of funds will be adequate to provide for our short-term and long-term liquidity needs, including capital expenditures and distributions on our units.

We have paid, and intend to continue to pay, at least the minimum quarterly distribution of $0.30 per unit per quarter, or $1.20 per unit on an annualized basis, which aggregates to approximately $18.9 million per quarter and approximately $75.6 million on an annualized basis based on the number of common units outstanding as of September 30, 2019.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we made cash distribution payments as follows (in thousands except per unit data):



Related Earnings Period:	Q4 2018		Q1 2019		Q2 2019
Distribution date	March 14, 2019		May 30, 2019		August 30, 2019
Record date	March 1, 2019		May 15, 2019		August 15, 2019
Per unit	$	0.5050	$	0.5100	$	0.5150
To public common unitholders	$	12,825	$	16,398	$	16,560
To PBF LLC	15,126		15,276		15,426
Total distribution	$	27,951	$	31,674	$	31,986

Credit Facilities

The Revolving Credit Facility is available to fund working capital, acquisitions, distributions and capital expenditures and for other general partnership purposes. We have the ability to increase the maximum amount of the Revolving Credit Facility by an aggregate amount of up to $250.0 million, to a total facility size of $750.0 million, subject to receiving increased commitments from the lenders or other financial institutions and satisfaction of certain conditions. Obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility are guaranteed by our restricted subsidiaries and secured by a first priority lien on our assets and those of our restricted subsidiaries. The maturity date of the Revolving Credit Facility is July 30, 2023 and may be extended for one year on up to two occasions, subject to certain customary terms and conditions. We are in compliance with our covenants under the Revolving Credit Facility as of September 30, 2019.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we made repayments of $101.0 million and borrowed $228.0 million under the Revolving Credit Facility to fund the TVPC Acquisition, the remaining East Coast Storage Assets Acquisition payment, other capital expenditures and working capital requirements.

Our 6.875% Senior Notes due 2023 (the “2023 Notes”) have an aggregate principal amount of $525.0 million with interest payable semi-annually on May 15 and November 15. The 2023 Notes mature on May 15, 2023. The 2023 Notes contain customary terms, events of default and covenants for an issuer of non-investment grade debt securities. These covenants include limitations or restrictions on us and our restricted subsidiaries’ ability to, among

other things, make distributions. These covenants are subject to a number of important limitations and exceptions. As of September 30, 2019, we are in compliance with all covenants under the 2023 Notes.

Cash Flows

The following table sets forth our cash flows for the periods indicated:



	Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2019			2018
	(In thousands)
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	95,643		$	117,582
Net cash used in investing activities	(23,180		)	(86,627		)
Net cash used in financing activities	(39,793		)	(32,597		)
Net change in cash and cash equivalents	$	32,670		$	(1,642	)

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities decreased by approximately $21.9 million to $95.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to $117.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The decrease in net cash provided by operating activities was primarily the result of a decrease in the net changes in operating assets and liabilities of approximately $34.9 million primarily driven by the timing of collection of accounts receivables and liability payments, offset by a net increase in non-cash charges relating to depreciation and amortization, amortization of loan fees and debt premium, accretion on discounted liabilities and unit-based compensation of approximately $8.9 million and an increase in net income of approximately $4.0 million.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities decreased by approximately $63.4 million to $23.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to $86.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The decrease in net cash used in investing activities was primarily due to the Knoxville Terminals Purchase of $58.0 million in April 2018 and a decrease in capital expenditures of approximately $5.4 million primarily related to higher capital spend on organic growth projects in the prior year.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities increased by approximately $7.2 million to $39.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to $32.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. Net cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 consisted of the TVPC Acquisition for $200.0 million, distributions to unitholders of $91.6 million and distributions to TVPC members of $8.5 million, offset by proceeds from issuance of common units of $132.5 million, net borrowings from our Revolving Credit Facility of $127.0 million and deferred financing costs and other of $0.8 million. Net cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 consisted of distributions to unitholders of $72.5 million, distributions to TVPC members of $16.3 million and deferred financing costs and other of $3.2 million, offset by proceeds from issuance of common units of $34.8 million, net borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility of $20.3 million and a contribution from PBF LLC of $4.2 million related to the pre-acquisition activities of the Acquisitions from PBF in 2018.

Capital Expenditures

Our capital requirements have consisted of, and are expected to continue to consist of: expansion, maintenance and regulatory capital expenditures. Expansion capital expenditures are expenditures incurred for acquisitions or capital improvements that we expect will increase our operating income or operating capacity over the long term.

Examples of expansion capital expenditures include the acquisition of equipment and the construction, development or acquisition of unloading equipment or other equipment at our facilities or projects that provide additional throughput or storage capacity to the extent such capital expenditures are expected to expand our operating capacity or increase our operating income. Maintenance capital expenditures are expenditures (including expenditures for the addition or improvement to, or the replacement of, our capital assets, and for the acquisition of existing, or the construction or development of new, capital assets) made to maintain our long-term operating income or operating capacity. Examples of maintenance capital expenditures are expenditures for the refurbishment and replacement of terminals and to maintain equipment reliability, integrity and safety. Regulatory capital expenditures are expenditures made to attain or maintain compliance with regulatory standards. Examples of regulatory capital expenditures are expenditures incurred to address environmental laws or regulations.

Capital expenditures for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 were as follows:



	Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2019		2018
	(In thousands)
Expansion*	$	17,730	$	82,908
Maintenance	4,992		3,401
Regulatory	458		318
Total capital expenditures	$	23,180	$	86,627

* Expansion capital expenditures include our acquisitions for the periods presented.

We currently expect to spend an additional aggregate of between $8.0 million and $12.0 million for the remainder of 2019 for capital expenditures. Of the total expected capital expenditures, between $3.0 million and $6.0 million relate to maintenance or regulatory capital expenditures. We anticipate the forecasted maintenance capital expenditures will be funded primarily with cash from operations and through borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility as needed. We currently have not included any potential future acquisitions in our budgeted capital expenditures for the remainder of 2019. We may rely on external sources including other borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility and issuances of equity and debt securities to fund any significant future expansion.

On April 24, 2019, we entered into the TVPC Contribution Agreement, pursuant to which PBF LLC contributed to us all of the issued and outstanding limited liability company interests of TVP Holding for total consideration of $200.0 million. We financed the TVPC Acquisition with $135.0 million of gross proceeds from the April Registered Direct Offering and $65.0 million of borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility.

Under the Omnibus Agreement, PBF Energy has agreed to reimburse us for any costs up to $20.0 million per event (net of any insurance recoveries) that we incur for repairs required due to the failure of any Contributed Asset to operate in substantially the same manner and condition as such asset was operating prior to the closing of the IPO and each of the Acquisitions from PBF during the first five years after the closings of the IPO and each of the Acquisitions from PBF, and any matters related thereto.

Contractual Obligations

With the exception of activity under the Revolving Credit Facility, including borrowings to fund capital expenditures and working capital requirements, there have been no significant changes in our contractual obligations since those reported in our 2018 Form 10-K. Refer to Note 6 “Debt” of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in “Item 1. Financial Statements” for additional information regarding our debt obligations.

As of September 30, 2019, we incurred borrowings of $32.0 million on our Revolving Credit Facility to settle the remaining $32.0 million payable for the East Coast Storage Assets Acquisition, which was paid on October 1, 2019.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have not entered into any transactions, agreements or other contractual arrangements that would result in off-balance sheet liabilities, other than outstanding letters of credit in the amount of $4.8 million.

Environmental and Other Matters

Environmental Regulations

Our operations are subject to extensive and frequently changing federal, state and local laws, regulations and ordinances relating to the protection of the environment. Among other things, these laws and regulations govern the emission or discharge of pollutants into or onto the land, air and water, the handling and disposal of solid and hazardous wastes and the remediation of contamination. As with the industry generally, compliance with existing and anticipated environmental laws and regulations increases our overall cost of business, including our capital costs to develop, maintain, operate and upgrade equipment and facilities. While these laws and regulations affect our maintenance and regulatory capital expenditures and net income, we believe they do not necessarily affect our competitive position, as the operations of our competitors are similarly affected. We believe our facilities are in substantial compliance with applicable environmental laws and regulations. However, these laws and regulations, as well as the interpretation of such laws and regulations, are subject to changes by regulatory authorities, and continued and future compliance with such laws and regulations may require us to incur significant expenditures. Additionally, violation of environmental laws, regulations and permits can result in the imposition of significant administrative, civil and criminal penalties, injunctions limiting our operations, investigatory or remedial liabilities or construction bans or delays in the development of additional facilities or equipment. Furthermore, a release of hydrocarbons or hazardous substances into the environment could, to the extent the event is not insured, subject us to substantial expenses, including costs to comply with applicable laws and regulations and to resolve claims by third parties for personal injury or property damage or by the U.S. federal government or state governments for natural resources damages. These impacts could directly and indirectly affect our business and have an adverse impact on our financial position, results of operations and liquidity. We cannot currently determine the amounts of such future impacts.

Environmental Liabilities

Contaminations resulting from spills of crude oil or petroleum products are not unusual within the petroleum terminaling or transportation industries. Historic spills at truck and rail racks and terminals, as a result of past operations, have resulted in contamination of the environment, including soils and groundwater.

Pursuant to the contribution agreements entered into in connection with the IPO and the Acquisitions from PBF, PBF Energy has agreed to indemnify us for certain known and unknown environmental liabilities that are based on conditions in existence at our Predecessor’s properties and associated with the ownership or operation of the Contributed Assets and arising from the conditions that existed prior to the closings of the IPO and the Acquisitions from PBF. In addition, we have agreed to indemnify PBF Energy for (i) certain events and conditions associated with the ownership or operation of our assets that occur, as applicable, after the closing of each Acquisition from PBF (including the IPO) and (ii) environmental liabilities related to our assets if the environmental liability is the result of the negligence, willful misconduct or criminal conduct of us or our employees, including those seconded to us. As a result, we may incur environmental expenses in the future, which may be substantial.

As of September 30, 2019, we have recorded a total liability related to environmental remediation costs of $2.4 million related to existing environmental liabilities. Refer to Note 9 “Commitments and Contingencies” of

the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in “Item 1. Financial Statements” for additional information.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices. Because we do not generally own the crude oil, refined products or natural gas that is distributed through our facilities, and because all of our commercial agreements with PBF Energy require PBF Energy to bear the risk of any material volume loss relating to the services we provide, we have minimal direct exposure to risks associated with fluctuating commodity prices.

We experience modest volume gains and losses, which we sometimes refer to as imbalances, through the operations of our assets as a result of variances in tank storage meter readings and volume fluctuations within certain of our terminals. We use a year-to-date weighted-average market price to value our assets and liabilities related to product imbalances. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the impact from our imbalances was not material to our results. In practice, we expect to settle positive refined product imbalances at the end of each year by selling excess volumes at current market prices. We may be required to purchase refined product volumes in the open market to make up negative imbalances or settle through cash payments.

Debt that we incur under the Revolving Credit Facility bears interest at a variable rate and exposes us to interest rate risk. At September 30, 2019, we had $283.0 million outstanding in variable interest debt. A 1.0% change in the interest rate associated with the borrowings outstanding under this facility would result in a $4.3 million change in our interest expense, assuming we were to borrow all $500.0 million available under the Revolving Credit Facility.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain a system of disclosure controls and procedures that is designed to provide reasonable assurance that information which is required to be disclosed is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management in a timely manner. Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of our system of disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of September 30, 2019. Based on that evaluation, our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of September 30, 2019.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the three months ended September 30, 2019 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

Although, from time to time, we may be involved in litigation and claims arising out of our operations in the normal course of business, we do not believe that we are a party to any litigation that will have a material adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations or statements of cash flows. We are not aware of any material legal or governmental proceedings against us or contemplated to be brought against us, except as follows:

On December 28, 2016, the Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control issued a Coastal Zone Act permit (the “Ethanol Permit”) to the Delaware City Refinery allowing the utilization of existing tanks and existing marine loading equipment at their existing facilities to enable denatured ethanol to be loaded from storage tanks to marine vessels and shipped to offsite facilities. On January 13, 2017, the issuance of the Ethanol Permit was appealed by two environmental groups. On February 27, 2017, the Coastal Zone Industrial Board (the “Coastal Zone Board”) held a public hearing and dismissed the appeal, determining that the appellants did not have standing. The appellants filed an appeal of the Coastal Zone Board’s decision with the Delaware Superior Court (the “Superior Court”) on March 30, 2017. On January 19, 2018, the Superior Court rendered an Opinion regarding the decision of the Coastal Zone Board to dismiss the appeal of the Ethanol Permit for the ethanol project. The judge determined that the record created by the Coastal Zone Board was insufficient for the Superior Court to make a decision, and therefore remanded the case back to the Coastal Zone Board to address the deficiency in the record. Specifically, the Superior Court directed the Coastal Zone Board to address any evidence concerning whether the appellants’ claimed injuries would be affected by the increased quantity of ethanol shipments. On remand, the Coastal Zone Board met on January 28, 2019 and reversed its previous decision on standing, ruling that the appellants have standing to appeal the issuance of the Ethanol Permit. The parties to the action have filed a joint motion with the Coastal Zone Board, requesting that the Coastal Zone Board concur with the parties’ proposal to secure from the Superior Court confirmation that all rights and claims are preserved for any subsequent appeal to the Superior Court, and that the matter then be scheduled for a hearing on the merits before the Coastal Zone Board.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There have been no significant changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our 2018 Form 10-K, except as follows:

The recommencement of the operations of certain of our acquired idled assets at our East Coast Storage Assets represents a new operational activity, which is subject to different risks and operational hazards than our existing operations.

We recommenced operations of certain of our acquired idled assets at our East Coast Storage Assets on October 25, 2019.

The operations of these restarted assets are subject to all of the risks and operational hazards inherent in processing petroleum, some of which are inherent in our current operations, including:


•	damages to our facilities, related equipment and surrounding properties caused by floods, fires, severe weather, explosions and other natural disasters and acts of terrorism;


•	interruption of service or processing capability due to a major accident, power outage, act of terrorism or other unforeseen events;


•	failure to restart processing operations timely following a suspension or shutdown;


•	mechanical or structural failures at our facility;


•	curtailments of operations relative to severe seasonal weather;


•	inadvertent damage to our facilities from construction, farm and utility equipment; and


•	other hazards.

These risks could result in substantial losses due to personal injury and/or loss of life, severe damage to and destruction of property and equipment and pollution or other environmental damage, as well as business interruptions or shutdown of our facility. Any such event or unplanned shutdown could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. A significant accident at our facility could result in serious injury or death to our employees or contractors, could expose us to significant liability for personal injury claims and reputational risk.
