NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)


1.	Organization and Principles of Consolidation

As used in this document, the terms “Partnership,” “SUN,” “we,” “us,” and “our” should be understood to refer to Sunoco LP and our consolidated subsidiaries, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

We are a Delaware master limited partnership. We are managed by our general partner, Sunoco GP LLC (“General Partner”), which is owned by Energy Transfer Operating, L.P. (“ETO”), a consolidated subsidiary of Energy Transfer LP (“ET”). As of June 30, 2020, ETO and its subsidiaries owned 100% of the membership interests in our General Partner, all of our incentive distribution rights (“IDRs”) and approximately 34.3% of our common units, which constitutes a 28.6% limited partner interest in us.

The consolidated financial statements are composed of Sunoco LP, a publicly traded Delaware limited partnership, and our wholly‑owned subsidiaries.

Our primary operations are conducted by the following consolidated subsidiaries:


•	Sunoco, LLC (“Sunoco LLC”), a Delaware limited liability company, primarily distributes motor fuel in 30 states throughout the East Coast, Midwest, South Central and Southeast regions of the United States. Sunoco LLC also processes transmix and distributes refined product through its terminals in Alabama, Texas, Arkansas and New York.


•	Sunoco Retail LLC (“Sunoco Retail”), a Pennsylvania limited liability company, owns and operates retail stores that sell motor fuel and merchandise primarily in New Jersey.


•	Aloha Petroleum LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, distributes motor fuel and operates terminal facilities on the Hawaiian Islands.


•	Aloha Petroleum, Ltd. (“Aloha”), a Hawaii corporation, owns and operates retail stores on the Hawaiian Islands.

All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Certain items have been reclassified for presentation purposes to conform to the accounting policies of the consolidated entity. These reclassifications had no material impact on income from operations, net income and comprehensive income, the balance sheets or statements of cash flows.


2.	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Interim Financial Statements

The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Pursuant to Regulation S-X, certain information and disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements have been condensed or omitted. The interim consolidated financial statements and notes included herein should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 filed with the SEC on February 21, 2020.

Significant Accounting Policies

As of June 30, 2020, the only change in the Partnership's significant accounting policies from those described in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 filed with the SEC on February 21, 2020, was the adoption of Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, described below under Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncement.

Motor Fuel and Sales Taxes

For bulk sales, certain motor fuel and sales taxes are collected from customers and remitted to governmental agencies either directly by the Partnership or through suppliers. The Partnership’s accounting policy for direct sales to dealer and commercial customers is to exclude the collected motor fuel tax from sales and cost of sales.

For other locations where the Partnership holds inventory, including commission agent arrangements and Partnership-operated retail locations, motor fuel sales and motor fuel cost of sales include motor fuel taxes. Such amounts were $64 million and $100 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and $144 million and $194 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Merchandise sales and cost of merchandise sales are reported net of sales tax in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncement

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2016-13 "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments." ASU 2016-13 requires an entity to utilize a new impairment model known as the current expected credit loss ("CECL") model to estimate its lifetime "expected credit loss" and record an allowance that, when deducted from the amortized cost basis of the financial asset, presents the net amount expected to be collected on the financial asset. The CECL model is expected to result in more timely recognition of credit losses. The Partnership adopted ASU 2016-13 on January 1, 2020. The impact of the adoption was not material; however, due to the global economic impacts of COVID-19, the Partnership recorded $16 million of current expected credit losses for the six months ended June 30, 2020.


3.	Accounts Receivable, net

Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The Partnership maintains allowances for expected credit losses. Following the adoption of ASU 2016-13, the allowances are based on the best estimate of the amount of expected credit losses in existing accounts receivable. The Partnership determines the allowances based on historical write-off experience by industry, economic data and current expectations of future credit losses. The Partnership reviews the allowances for expected credit losses quarterly.

Accounts receivable, net, consisted of the following:



	June 30, 2020			December 31, 2019
	(in millions)
Accounts receivable, trade	$	208		$	337
Credit card receivables	55			29
Vendor receivables for rebates and branding	21			19
Other receivables	4			16
Allowance for expected credit losses	(18		)	(2		)
Accounts receivable, net	$	270		$	399


4.	Inventories, net

Due to changes in fuel prices, we recorded an inventory adjustment on the value of fuel inventory of $137 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020.

Fuel inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market using the last-in-first-out (“LIFO”) method. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the carrying value of the Partnership’s fuel inventory included lower of cost or market reserves of $372 million and $229 million, respectively, and the inventory carrying value equaled or exceeded its replacement cost. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, the Partnership’s consolidated income statements did not include any material amounts of income from the liquidation of LIFO fuel inventory.

Inventories, net, consisted of the following:



	June 30, 2020		December 31, 2019

Long-term debt, net	$	3,052	$	3,060

Revolving Credit Agreement

The Partnership is party to an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement among the Partnership, as borrower, the lenders from time to time party thereto and Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, collateral agent, swingline lender and a line of credit issuer (the “2018 Revolver”). As of June 30, 2020, the balance on the 2018 Revolver was $158 million, and $8 million in standby letters of credit were outstanding. The unused availability on the 2018 Revolver at June 30, 2020 was $1.3 billion. The weighted average interest rate on the total amount outstanding at June 30, 2020 was 2.19%. The Partnership was in compliance with all financial covenants at June 30, 2020.

2018 Private Offering of Senior Notes

Effective May 1, 2020, all of Sunoco LP common units owned by ETC M-A Acquisition LLC ("ETC M-A") and the related guarantees of Sunoco LP’s $1 billion principal amount of 4.875% senior notes due 2023, $800 million principal amount of 5.5% senior notes due 2026 and $400 million principal amount of 5.875% senior notes due 2028 were assigned to ETO.

Fair Value of Debt

The estimated fair value of debt is calculated using Level 2 inputs. The fair value of debt as of June 30, 2020 is estimated to be approximately $3.1 billion, based on outstanding balances as of the end of the period using current interest rates for similar securities.


7.	Other Noncurrent Liabilities

Other noncurrent liabilities consisted of the following:



	June 30, 2020		December 31, 2019
	(in millions)
Reserve for underground storage tank removal	$	69	$	67
Accrued environmental expense, long-term	18		23
Other	10		7
Total	$	97	$	97


8.	Related-Party Transactions

We are party to fee-based commercial agreements with various affiliates of ETO for pipeline, terminalling and storage services. We also have agreements with subsidiaries of ETO for the purchase and sale of fuel.

On July 1, 2019, we entered into a 50% owned joint venture on the J.C. Nolan diesel fuel pipeline to West Texas. ETO operates the J.C. Nolan pipeline for the joint venture, which transports diesel fuel from Hebert, Texas to a terminal in the Midland, Texas area. Our investment in this unconsolidated joint venture was $136 million and $121 million as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. In addition, we recorded income on the unconsolidated joint venture of $1 million and $2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively.

Summary of Transactions

Related party transactions with affiliates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 were as follows (in millions):



	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2020		2019		2020		2019
Motor fuel sales to affiliates	$	37	$	—	$	49	$	1
Bulk fuel purchases from affiliates	$	120	$	103	$	439	$	282

Significant affiliate balances and activity related to the consolidated balance sheets are as follows:

•

Net advances from affiliates were $138 million and $140 million as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. Advances from affiliates are primarily related to the treasury services agreements between Sunoco LLC and Sunoco (R&M), LLC and Sunoco Retail and Sunoco (R&M), LLC, which are in place for purposes of cash management and transactions related to the diesel fuel pipeline joint venture with ETO.


•	Net accounts receivable from affiliates were $6 million and $12 million as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, which are primarily related to motor fuel sales to affiliates.


•	Net accounts payable to affiliates were $29 million and $49 million as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, which are related to operational expenses and bulk fuel purchases.


9.	Revenue

Disaggregation of Revenue

We operate our business in two primary segments, Fuel Distribution and Marketing and All Other. We disaggregate revenue within the segments by channels.

The following table depicts the disaggregation of revenue by channel within each segment:



	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,

Total	101		235		293		434
Total revenue	$	2,080	$	4,475	$	5,352	$	8,167

Contract Balances with Customers

The balances of receivables from contracts with customers listed in the table below include both current trade receivables and long-term receivables, net of allowance for expected credit losses. The allowance for expected credit losses represents our best estimate of the probable losses associated with potential customer defaults. We estimate the expected credit losses based on historical write-off experience by industry and current expectations of future credit losses.

The balances of the Partnership’s contract assets and contract liabilities as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 are as follows:



	June 30, 2020		December 31, 2019
	(in millions)
Contract balances
Contract asset	$	128	$	117
Accounts receivable from contracts with customers	$	263	$	366
Contract liability	$	—	$	—

The amount of revenue recognized in the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 that was included in the contract liability balance at the beginning of each period was $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively, and $0.1 million and $0.2 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively. This amount of revenue is a result of changes in the transaction price of the Partnership’s contracts with customers. The difference in the opening and closing balances of the contract asset and contract liability primarily results from the timing difference between the Partnership’s performance and the customer’s payment.

Costs to Obtain or Fulfill a Contract

The Partnership recognizes an asset from the costs incurred to obtain a contract (e.g. sales commissions) only if it expects to recover those costs. On the other hand, the costs to fulfill a contract are capitalized if the costs are specifically identifiable to a contract, would result in enhancing resources that will be used in satisfying performance obligations in the future, and are expected to be recovered. These capitalized costs are recorded as a part of other current assets and other noncurrent assets and are amortized as a reduction of revenue on a systematic basis consistent with the pattern of transfer of the goods or services to which such costs relate. The amount of amortization on these capitalized costs that the Partnership recognized was $5 million and $10 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, and $4 million and $8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively. The Partnership has also made a policy election of expensing the costs to obtain a contract, as and when they are incurred, in cases where the expected amortization period is one year or less.


10.	Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation

We have at various points and may in the future become involved in various legal proceedings arising out of our operations in the normal course of business. These proceedings would be subject to the uncertainties inherent in any litigation, and we regularly assess the need for accounting recognition or disclosure of these contingencies. We would expect to defend ourselves vigorously in all such matters. Based on currently available information, we believe it is unlikely that the outcome of known matters would have a material adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Lessee Accounting

The Partnership leases retail stores, other property, and equipment under non-cancellable operating leases whose initial terms are typically 5 to 15 years, with some having a term of 40 years or more, along with options that permit renewals for additional periods. At the inception of each, we determine if the arrangement is a lease or contains an embedded lease and review the facts and circumstances of the arrangement to classify leased assets as operating or finance. The Partnership has elected not to record any leases with terms of 12 months or less on the balance sheet.

At this time, the majority of active leases within our portfolio are classified as operating leases. Operating leases are included in lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, operating lease current liabilities, and operating lease noncurrent liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets. Finance leases represent a small portion of the active lease agreements and are included in ROU assets and long-term debt in our consolidated balance sheets. The ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make minimum lease payments arising from the lease for the duration of the lease term.

Most leases include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term from 1 to 20 years or greater. The exercise of lease renewal options is typically at our discretion. Additionally, many leases contain early termination clauses; however, early termination typically requires the agreement of both parties to the lease. At lease inception, all renewal options reasonably certain to be exercised are considered when determining the lease term. At this time, the Partnership does not have leases that include options to purchase or automatic transfer of ownership of the leased property to the Partnership. The depreciable life of leased assets and leasehold improvements are limited by the expected lease term.

To determine the present value of future minimum lease payments, we use the implicit rate when readily determinable. At this time, many of our leases do not provide an implicit rate; therefore, to determine the present value of minimum lease payments we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at lease commencement date. The ROU assets also include any lease payments made on or before the commencement date and exclude lease incentives.

Minimum rent payments are expensed on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. In addition, some leases may require additional contingent or variable lease payments based on factors specific to the individual agreement. Variable lease payments we are typically responsible for include payment of real estate taxes, maintenance expenses and insurance.

The components of lease expense consisted of the following:

Lessor Accounting

The Partnership leases or subleases a portion of its real estate portfolio to third party companies as a stable source of long-term revenue. Our lessor and sublease portfolio consists mainly of operating leases with convenience store operators. At this time, most lessor agreements contain 5-year terms with renewal options to extend and early termination options based on established terms specific to the individual agreement.

12.	Income Tax Expense

As a partnership, we are generally not subject to federal income tax and most state income taxes. However, the Partnership conducts certain activities through corporate subsidiaries which are subject to federal and state income taxes.

Our effective tax rate differs from the statutory rate primarily due to Partnership earnings that are not subject to U.S. federal and most state income taxes at the Partnership level. A reconciliation of income tax expense from continuing operations at the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% to net income tax expense is as follows:



	Three Months Ended June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,

13.	Partners' Capital

As of June 30, 2020, ETO and its subsidiaries owned 28,463,967 common units, which constitutes 34.3% of our outstanding common units, and the public owned 54,576,814 common units. As of June 30, 2020, our consolidated subsidiaries owned all of the 16,410,780 Class C units representing limited partner interests in the Partnership (the “Class C Units”).

Common Units

The change in our outstanding common units for the six months ended June 30, 2020 is as follows:



	Number of Units
Number of common units at December 31, 2019	82,985,941
Phantom vested units exercised	54,840
Number of common units at June 30, 2020	83,040,781

Allocation of Net Income (Loss)

Our Partnership Agreement contains provisions for the allocation of net income and loss to the unitholders. For purposes of maintaining partner capital accounts, the Partnership Agreement specifies that items of income and loss shall be allocated among the partners in accordance with their respective percentage interest. Normal allocations according to percentage interests are made after giving effect to incentive cash distributions, which are allocated 100% to ETO.

The calculation of net income (loss) allocated to the partners is as follows (in millions):



	Three Months Ended June 30,					Six Months Ended June 30,
	2020		2019			2020			2019
Attributable to Common Units
Distributions	$	69	$	68		$	137		$	136
Distributions in excess of net income (loss)	69		(32		)	(147		)	(12		)
Limited partners' interest in net income (loss)	$	138	$	36		$	(10	)	$	124

Cash Distributions

Our Partnership Agreement sets forth the calculation used to determine the amount and priority of cash distributions that the common unitholders receive.

Cash distributions paid or declared during 2020 were as follows:



	Limited Partners
Payment Date	Per Unit Distribution		Total Cash Distribution		Distribution to IDR Holders
	(in millions, except per unit amounts)

August 19, 2020	$	0.8255	$	69	$	18
May 19, 2020	$	0.8255	$	69	$	18
February 19, 2020	$	0.8255	$	69	$	18


14.	Unit-Based Compensation

A summary of our phantom unit award activity is as follows:



	Number of Phantom Units		Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value
Outstanding at December 31, 2018	2,124,012		$	29.15
Granted	655,630		30.70

Outstanding at June 30, 2020	1,974,405		$	29.10


15.	Segment Reporting

Our financial statements reflect two reportable segments, Fuel Distribution and Marketing and All Other.

We report Adjusted EBITDA by segment as a measure of segment performance. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income before net interest expense, income tax expense and depreciation, amortization and accretion expense, non-cash unit-based compensation expense, gains and losses on disposal of assets and impairment charges, unrealized gains and losses on commodity derivatives, inventory adjustments, and certain other operating expenses reflected in net income that we do not believe are indicative of ongoing core operations. Inventory adjustments that are excluded from the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA represent changes in lower of cost or market reserves on the Partnership's inventory. These amounts are unrealized valuation adjustments applied to fuel volumes remaining in inventory at the end of the period.

The following table presents financial information by segment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019:

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

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes to consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report. Additional discussion and analysis related to our Partnership is contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K including the audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019.

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure of performance that has limitations and should not be considered as a substitute for net income or other GAAP measures. Please see “Key Measures Used to Evaluate and Assess Our Business” below for a discussion of our use of Adjusted EBITDA in this “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and a reconciliation to net income (loss) for the periods presented.

Forward-Looking Statements

•	the fact that we are not fully insured against all risks incident to our business;


•	dangers inherent in the storage and transportation of motor fuel;


•	our ability to manage growth and/or control costs;


•	the global outbreak of COVID-19;


•	volatility of fuel prices or a prolonged period of low fuel prices and the effects of actions by, or disputes among or between, oil producing countries with respect to matters related to the price or production of oil;


•	our reliance on senior management, supplier trade credit and information technology; and


•	our partnership structure, which may create conflicts of interest between us and Sunoco GP LLC, our general partner (“General Partner”), and its affiliates, and limits the fiduciary duties of our General Partner and its affiliates.

All forward-looking statements are expressly qualified in their entirety by the foregoing cautionary statements.

Many of the foregoing risks and uncertainties are, and will be, heightened by the COVID-19 pandemic and any further worsening of the global business and economic environment. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all such factors. Should one or more of the risks or uncertainties described in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or our Annual Report on Form 10-K occur, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results and plans could differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements.

You should not put undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. When considering forward-looking statements, please review the risks described under “Item 1A. Risk Factors” included herein, and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. The list of factors that could affect future performance and the accuracy of forward-looking statements is illustrative but by no means exhaustive. Accordingly, all forward-looking statements should be evaluated with the understanding of their inherent

uncertainty. The forward-looking statements included in this report are based on, and include, our estimates as of the filing of this report. We anticipate that subsequent events and market developments will cause our estimates to change. However, while we may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, we specifically disclaim any obligation to do so except as required by law, even if new information becomes available in the future.

Overview

As used in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, the terms “Partnership,” “SUN,” “we,” “us,” or “our” should be understood to refer to Sunoco LP and our consolidated subsidiaries, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

We are a Delaware master limited partnership primarily engaged in the distribution of motor fuels to independent dealers, distributors, and other customers and the distribution of motor fuels to end customers at retail sites operated by commission agents. In addition, we receive rental income through the leasing or subleasing of real estate used in the retail distribution of motor fuels. We also operate 75 retail stores located in Hawaii and New Jersey.

We are managed by Sunoco GP LLC, our General Partner. As of June 30, 2020, Energy Transfer Operating, L.P. (“ETO”), a consolidated subsidiary of Energy Transfer LP (“ET”), owned 100% of the membership interests in our General Partner, all of our incentive distribution rights and approximately 34.3% of our common units, which constitutes a 28.6% limited partner interest in us.

We believe we are one of the largest independent motor fuel distributors by gallons in the United States and one of the largest distributors of Chevron, Exxon, and Valero branded motor fuel in the United States. In addition to distributing motor fuel, we also distribute other petroleum products such as propane and lubricating oil.

We purchase motor fuel primarily from independent refiners and major oil companies and distribute it across more than 30 states throughout the East Coast, Midwest, South Central and Southeast regions of the United States, as well as Hawaii to:


•	75 company-owned and operated retail stores;


•	543 independently operated commission agent locations where we sell motor fuel to retail customers under commission arrangements with such operators;


•	6,927 retail stores operated by independent operators, which we refer to as “dealers” or “distributors,” pursuant to long-term distribution agreements; and


•	2,625 other commercial customers, including unbranded retail stores, other fuel distributors, school districts, municipalities and other industrial customers.

As of June 30, 2020, we operated 75 retail stores. Our retail stores operate under several brands, including our proprietary brands APlus and Aloha Island Mart, and offer a broad selection of food, beverages, snacks, grocery and non-food merchandise, motor fuels and other services.

Recent Developments and Outlook

The global spread of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has created significant volatility, uncertainty and economic disruption. As a provider of critical energy infrastructure, our business has been designated as a “critical business” and our employees as “critical infrastructure workers” pursuant to the Department of Homeland Security Guidance on Essential Critical Infrastructure Workforce(s). As an essential business providing motor fuels, the safety of our employees and the continued operation of our assets are our top priorities and we will continue to operate in accordance with federal and state health guidelines and safety protocols. We have implemented several new policies and provided employee training to help maintain the health and safety of our workforce. The future impact of the outbreak is highly uncertain and we cannot predict the impact on our volume demand, gross profit or collections from customers. There is no assurance that it will not have other material adverse impacts on the future results of the Partnership. See "Part II - Item 1A. Risk Factors" for further discussion.

Key Measures Used to Evaluate and Assess Our Business

Management uses a variety of financial measurements to analyze business performance, including the following key measures:

•

Motor fuel gallons sold. One of the primary drivers of our business is the total volume of motor fuel sold through our channels. Fuel distribution contracts with our customers generally provide that we distribute motor fuel at a fixed, volume-based profit margin or at an agreed upon level of price support. As a result, gross profit is directly tied to the volume of motor fuel that we distribute. Total motor fuel gross profit dollars earned from the product of gross profit per gallon and motor fuel gallons sold are used by management to evaluate business performance.

•

Gross profit per gallon. Gross profit per gallon is calculated as the gross profit on motor fuel (excluding non-cash inventory adjustments as described under "Adjusted EBITDA" below) divided by the number of gallons sold, and is typically expressed as cents per gallon. Our gross profit per gallon varies amongst our third-party relationships and is impacted by the availability of certain discounts and rebates from suppliers. Retail gross profit per gallon is heavily impacted by volatile pricing and intense competition from retail stores, supermarkets, club stores and other retail formats, which varies based on the market.

•

Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA, as used throughout this document, is defined as earnings before net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, amortization and accretion expense, allocated non-cash unit-based compensation expense, unrealized gains and losses on commodity derivatives and inventory adjustments, and certain other operating expenses reflected in net income that we do not believe are indicative of ongoing core operations, such as gain or loss on disposal of assets and non-cash impairment charges. Inventory adjustments that are excluded from the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA represent changes in lower of cost or market reserves on the Partnership's inventory. These amounts are unrealized valuation adjustments applied to fuel volumes remaining in inventory at the end of the period.

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. For a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, read “Key Operating Metrics” below.

We believe Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors in evaluating our operating performance because:


•	Adjusted EBITDA is used as a performance measure under our revolving credit facility;


•	securities analysts and other interested parties use Adjusted EBITDA as a measure of financial performance; and


•	our management uses Adjusted EBITDA for internal planning purposes, including aspects of our consolidated operating budget, and capital expenditures;

Adjusted EBITDA is not a recognized term under GAAP and does not purport to be an alternative to net income (loss) as a measure of operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and one should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations include:


•	it does not reflect interest expense or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our revolving credit facility or term loan;


•	although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect cash requirements for such replacements; and


•	as not all companies use identical calculations, our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

Adjusted EBITDA reflects amounts for the unconsolidated affiliate based on the same recognition and measurement methods used to record equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliate. Adjusted EBITDA related to unconsolidated affiliate excludes the same items with respect to the unconsolidated affiliate as those excluded from the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA, such as interest, taxes, depreciation, depletion, amortization and other non-cash items. Although these amounts are excluded from Adjusted EBITDA related to unconsolidated affiliate, such exclusion should not be understood to imply that we have control over the operations and resulting revenues and expenses of such affiliate. We do not control our unconsolidated affiliate; therefore, we do not control the earnings or cash flows of such affiliate. The use of Adjusted EBITDA or Adjusted EBITDA related to unconsolidated affiliate as an analytical tool should be limited accordingly.

The Partnership’s results of operations are discussed on a consolidated basis below. Those results are primarily driven by the fuel distribution and marketing segment, which is the Partnership’s only significant segment. To the extent that results of operations are significantly impacted by discreet items or activities within the all other segment, such impacts are specifically attributed to the all other segment in the discussion and analysis below.

In the discussion below, the analysis of the Partnership’s primary revenue generating activities are discussed in the analysis of Adjusted EBITDA, and other significant items impacting net income are analyzed separately.

The following table presents a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019:

The following discussion of results compares the operations for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019.

Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended June 30, 2020 was $182 million, an increase of $30 million from the three months ended June 30, 2019. The increase is primarily attributable to the following changes:


•	an increase in the gross profit on motor fuel sales of $16 million, primarily due a 48.8% increase in gross profit per gallon sold; partially offset by a 26.3% decrease in gallons sold for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2019;


•	a decrease in operating costs of $26 million. These expenses include other operating expense, general and administrative expense and lease expense. The decrease primarily due to lower employee costs, maintenance, advertising, credit card fees and utilities;


•	an increase in unconsolidated affiliate adjusted EBITDA of $3 million, which is attributable to the J.C. Nolan diesel fuel pipeline to West Texas entered into in 2019; partially offset by


•	a decrease in non motor fuel sales gross profit of $15 million, primarily due to reduced credit card transactions related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Depreciation, Amortization and Accretion. Depreciation, amortization and accretion was $47 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and for the three months ended June 30, 2019.

Interest Expense. Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2020 was $44 million, an increase of $1 million from the three months ended June 30, 2019. This increase is primarily attributable to a slight increase in average total long-term debt for the respective periods.

Non-Cash Unit-Based Compensation Expense. Non-cash unit-based compensation expense was $3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and three months ended June 30, 2019.

Loss on Disposal of Assets and Impairment Charges. Loss on disposal of assets and impairment charges for the three months ended June 30, 2020 was $6 million and was primarily attributable to an additional loss adjustment on the 2019 sale of our ethanol plant

in Fulton, New York. Loss on disposal of assets and impairment charges for the three months ended June 30, 2019 was primarily attributable to a $3 million loss on the sale of our ethanol plant in Fulton, New York.

Unrealized gain (loss) on commodity derivatives. The unrealized gains and losses on our commodity derivatives represent the changes in fair value of our commodity derivatives. The change in unrealized gains and losses between periods is impacted by the notional amounts and commodity price changes on our commodity derivatives. Additional information on commodity derivatives is included in “Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” below.

Inventory adjustments. Inventory adjustments represent changes in lower of cost or market reserves on the Partnership’s inventory. These amounts are unrealized valuation adjustments applied to fuel volumes remaining in inventory at the end of the period. For the three months ended June 30, 2020, an increase in fuel prices reduced lower of cost or market reserve requirements for the period by $90 million, creating a favorable impact to net income. For the three months ended June 30, 2019, an increase in fuel prices reduced lower of cost or market reserve requirements for the period by $4 million, creating a favorable impact to net income.

Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2020 was $8 million, an increase of $3 million from income tax expense of $5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. This change is primarily attributable to higher earnings from the Partnership's consolidated corporate subsidiaries.

The following discussion of results compares the operations for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019.

Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was $391 million, an increase of $86 million from the six months ended June 30, 2019. The increase is primarily attributable to the following changes:


•	an increase in the gross profit on motor fuel sales of $84 million, primarily due a 39.6% increase in gross profit per gallon sold and the receipt of a $13 million make-up payment under the fuel supply agreement with 7-Eleven, Inc.; partially offset by a 14.6% decrease in gallons sold for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019;

•

a decrease in operating costs of $10 million. These expenses include other operating expense, general and administrative expense and lease expense. The decrease primarily due to lower employee costs, maintenance, advertising, credit card fees and utilities, which was partially offset by a $16 million charge for current expected credit losses of our accounts receivable in connection with the financial impact from COVID-19;


•	an increase in unconsolidated affiliate adjusted EBITDA of $5 million, which is attributable to the J.C. Nolan diesel fuel pipeline to West Texas entered into in 2019; partially offset by


•	a decrease in non motor fuel sales gross profit of $13 million, primarily due to reduced credit card transactions related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Depreciation, Amortization and Accretion. Depreciation, amortization and accretion was $92 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019.

Interest Expense. Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was $88 million, an increase of $3 million from the six months ended June 30, 2019. This increase is primarily attributable to a slight increase in average total long-term debt.

Non-Cash Unit-Based Compensation Expense. Non-cash unit-based compensation expense was $7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and $6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019.

Loss on Disposal of Assets and Impairment Charges. Loss on disposal of assets and impairment charges for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was $8 million and was primarily attributable to an additional loss adjustment on the 2019 sale of our ethanol plant in Fulton, New York. Loss on disposal of assets and impairment charges for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was primarily attributable

to a $47 million write-down on assets held for sale and a $3 million loss on disposal of assets related to our ethanol plant in Fulton, New York.

Inventory adjustments. Inventory adjustments represent changes in lower of cost or market reserves on the Partnership’s inventory. These amounts are unrealized valuation adjustments applied to fuel volumes remaining in inventory at the end of the period. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, a decline in fuel prices caused the lower of cost or market reserves to increase by a net of $137 million - resulting in an adverse impact to net income. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, an increase in fuel prices reduced lower of cost or market reserve requirements for the period, creating a favorable impact to net income of $97 million.

Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was $11 million, an increase of $8 million from income tax expense of $3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. This increase is primarily attributable to higher earnings from the Partnership's consolidated corporate subsidiaries.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity

Our principal liquidity requirements are to finance current operations, to fund capital expenditures, including acquisitions from time to time, to service our debt and to make distributions. We expect our ongoing sources of liquidity to include cash generated from operations, borrowings under our revolving credit facility and the issuance of additional long-term debt or partnership units 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.

Our ability to meet our debt service obligations and other capital requirements, including capital expenditures and acquisitions, will depend on our future operating performance which, in turn, will be subject to general economic, financial, business, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other conditions, many of which are beyond our control. As a normal part of our business, depending on market conditions, we will from time to time consider opportunities to repay, redeem, repurchase or refinance our indebtedness. Changes in our operating plans, lower than anticipated sales, increased expenses, acquisitions or other events may cause us to seek additional debt or equity financing in future periods. There can be no guarantee that financing will be available on acceptable terms or at all. Debt financing, if available, could impose additional cash payment obligations and additional covenants and operating restrictions. In addition, any of the items discussed in detail under “Item 1A. Risk Factors” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 may also significantly impact our liquidity.

As of June 30, 2020, we had $33 million of cash and cash equivalents on hand and borrowing capacity of $1.3 billion under the 2018 Revolver. The Partnership was in compliance with all financial covenants at June 30, 2020. Based on our current estimates, we expect to utilize capacity under the 2018 Revolver, along with cash from operations, to fund our announced growth capital expenditures and working capital needs for 2020; however, we may issue debt or equity securities prior to that time as we deem prudent to provide liquidity for new capital projects or other partnership purposes.

Cash Flows

Our cash flows may change in the future due to a number of factors, some of which we cannot control. These factors include regulatory changes, the price of products and services, the demand for such products and services, margin requirements resulting from significant changes in commodity prices, operational risks, the successful integration of our acquisitions and other factors.



	For the Six Months Ended June 30,
	2020			2019
	(in millions)
Net cash provided by (used in)
Operating activities	$	255		$	184
Investing activities	(57		)	(35		)
Financing activities	(186		)	(169		)
Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents	$	12		$	(20	)

Operating Activities

Changes in cash flows from operating activities between periods primarily result from changes in earnings, excluding the impacts of non-cash items and changes in operating assets and liabilities (net of effects of acquisitions). Non-cash items include recurring non-cash expenses, such as depreciation, depletion and amortization expense and non-cash unit-based compensation expense. Cash flows from operating activities also differ from earnings as a result of non-cash charges that may not be recurring, such as impairment charges. Our daily working capital requirements fluctuate within each month, primarily in response to the timing of payments for motor fuels, motor fuels tax and rent.

Six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to six months ended June 30, 2019. Net cash provided by operations was $255 million and $184 million for the six months of 2020 and 2019, respectively. The increase in cash flows provided by operations was due to an increase in operating assets and liabilities of $4 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019 and a $67 million increase in cash basis net income compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019.

Investing Activities

Cash flows from investing activities primarily consist of capital expenditures, cash contributions to unconsolidated affiliate, cash amounts paid for acquisitions, and cash proceeds from sale or disposal of assets. Changes in capital expenditures between periods primarily result from increases or decreases in our growth capital expenditures to fund our construction and expansion projects.

Six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to six months ended June 30, 2019. Net cash used in investing activities was $57 million and $35 million for the first six months of 2020 and 2019, respectively. Capital expenditures were $59 million and $57 million for the first six months of 2020 and 2019, respectively. Contributions to unconsolidated affiliate were $5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. Proceeds from disposal of property and equipment were $3 million and $22 million for the first six months of 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Financing Activities

Changes in cash flows from financing activities between periods primarily result from changes in the levels of borrowings and equity issuances, which are primarily used to fund our acquisitions and growth capital expenditures. Distributions increase between the periods based on increases in the number of common units outstanding or increases in the distribution rate.

Six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to six months ended June 30, 2019. Net cash used in financing activities was $186 million and $169 million for the first six months of 2020 and 2019, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we:


•	borrowed $663 million and repaid $667 million under our 2018 Revolver to fund daily operations; and


•	paid $176 million in distributions to our unitholders, of which $82 million was paid to ETO.

During the six months ended June 30, 2019, we:


•	issued $600 million of 6.000% Senior Notes due 2027;


•	borrowed $1.1 billion and repaid $1.6 billion under our 2018 Revolver to fund daily operations; and


•	paid $175 million in distributions to our unitholders, of which $82 million was paid to ETO.

We intend to pay cash distributions to the holders of our common units and Class C units representing limited partner interests in the Partnership (“Class C Units”) on a quarterly basis, to the extent we have sufficient cash from our operations after establishment of cash reserves and payment of fees and expenses, including payments to our General Partner and its affiliates. Class C unitholders receive distributions at a fixed rate equal to $0.8682 per quarter for each Class C Unit outstanding. There is no guarantee that we will pay a distribution on our units. On July 28, 2020, we declared a quarterly distribution totaling $69 million, or $0.8255 per common unit based on the results for the three months ended June 30, 2020, excluding distributions to Class C unitholders. The declared distribution will be paid on August 19, 2020 to unitholders of record on August 7, 2020.

Capital Expenditures

Included in our capital expenditures for the first six months of 2020 was $9 million in maintenance capital and $50 million in growth capital. Growth capital relates primarily to dealer supply contracts.

We currently expect to spend approximately $30 million in maintenance capital and $75 million in growth capital for the full year 2020.

Revolving Credit Agreement

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

Contractual Obligations. We have contractual obligations that are required to be settled in cash. As of June 30, 2020, we had $158 million borrowed on the 2018 Revolver compared to $162 million borrowed on the 2018 Revolver at December 31, 2019. Further, as of June 30, 2020, we had $2.8 billion outstanding under our Senior Notes. See Note 6 in the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on our debt transactions.

We periodically enter into derivatives, such as futures and options, to manage our fuel price risk on inventory in the distribution system. Fuel hedging positions are not significant to our operations. On a consolidated basis, the Partnership had a position of 1.4 million barrels with an aggregated unrealized loss of $4.9 million outstanding at June 30, 2020.

Properties. Most of our leases are net leases requiring us to pay taxes, insurance and maintenance costs. We believe that no individual site is material to us. The following table summarizes the number of owned and leased properties as of June 30, 2020:



	Owned	Leased
Dealer and commission agent sites	623	317
Company-operated retail stores	6	69
Warehouses, offices and other	61	85
Total	690	471

Estimates and Critical Accounting Policies

We prepare our consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Critical accounting policies are those we believe are both most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations, and require our most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. Judgments and uncertainties affecting the application of those policies may result in materially different amounts being reported under different conditions or using different assumptions. Our significant accounting policies

are described in Note 2 in the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Goodwill is tested for impairment annually or more frequently if circumstances indicate that goodwill might be impaired. During the first quarter of 2020, due to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and the decline in the Partnership’s market capitalization, we determined that interim impairment testing should be performed. We performed the interim impairment tests consistent with our approach for annual impairment testing, including using similar models, inputs and assumptions. As a result of the interim impairment test, no goodwill impairment was identified for the reporting units.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Interest Rate Risk

We are subject to market risk from exposure to changes in interest rates based on our financing, investing and cash management activities. We had $158 million of outstanding borrowings on the 2018 Revolver as of June 30, 2020. The annualized effect of a one percentage point change in floating interest rates on our variable rate debt obligations outstanding at June 30, 2020 would be a $2 million change to interest expense. Our primary exposure relates to:


•	interest rate risk on short-term borrowings; and


•	the impact of interest rate movements on our ability to obtain adequate financing to fund future acquisitions.

While we cannot predict or manage our ability to refinance existing debt or the impact interest rate movements will have on our existing debt, management evaluates our financial position on an ongoing basis. From time to time, we may enter into interest rate swaps to reduce the impact of changes in interest rates on our floating rate debt. We had no interest rate swaps in effect during the first six months of 2020 or 2019.

Commodity Price Risk

Aloha has terminals on all four major Hawaiian Islands that hold purchased fuel until it is delivered to customers (typically over a two to three week period). Commodity price risks relating to this inventory are not currently hedged. The terminal inventory balance was $20 million at June 30, 2020.

Sunoco LLC holds working inventories of refined petroleum products, renewable fuels, gasoline blendstocks and transmix in storage. As of June 30, 2020, Sunoco LLC held approximately $236 million of such inventory. While in storage, volatility in the market price of stored motor fuel could adversely impact the price at which we can later sell the motor fuel. However, Sunoco LLC uses futures, forwards and other derivative instruments (collectively, "positions") to hedge a variety of price risks relating to deviations in that inventory from a target base operating level established by management. Derivative instruments utilized consist primarily of exchange-traded futures contracts traded on the NYMEX, CME and ICE as well as over-the-counter transactions (including swap agreements) entered into with established financial institutions and other credit-approved energy companies. Sunoco LLC’s policy is generally to purchase only products for which there is a market and to structure sales contracts so that price fluctuations do not materially affect profit. Sunoco LLC also engages in controlled trading in accordance with specific parameters set forth in a written risk management policy. While these derivative instruments represent economic hedges, they are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes.

On a consolidated basis, the Partnership had a position of 1.4 million barrels with an aggregate unrealized loss of $4.9 million outstanding at June 30, 2020.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As required by paragraph (b) of Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer, as the principal executive officer and person performing functions similar to that of the principal financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, as the principal executive officer and person performing functions similar to that of the principal financial officer, has concluded, as of the end of the period covered by this report, that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level for which they were designed in that the information required to be disclosed by the Partnership in the reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, as the principal executive officer and person performing functions similar to that of the principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

During the three months ended June 30, 2020, the Partnership, including certain of its subsidiaries, implemented an enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) system, in order to update existing technology and to integrate, simplify and standardize processes among the Partnership and its subsidiaries. Accordingly, we have made changes to our internal controls to address systems and/ or processes impacted by the ERP system implementation. Neither the ERP system implementation nor the related control changes were undertaken in response to any deficiencies in the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting.

Other than as discussed above, there have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13(a)-15(f) or Rule 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the three months ended June 30, 2020 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 we may, from time to time, be involved in litigation and claims arising out of our operations in the normal course of business, we do not believe that we are party to any litigation that will have a material adverse impact.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There have been no material changes from the risk factors described in Part I - Item 1A in the Partnership’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 21, 2020, except for as discussed below.

The global outbreak of COVID-19 may have a material adverse effect on our operations and earnings.

The global spread of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has created significant volatility, uncertainty and economic disruption and has negatively impacted the global economy. In response to the pandemic, governments around the world have implemented stringent measures to help reduce the spread of the virus, including stay-at-home orders, travel restrictions and other measures. Due to reductions in economic activity, the world is experiencing reduced demand for petroleum products, including motor fuels, which has adversely affected our business.

The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact our business, operations and financial results depends on numerous evolving factors that we cannot accurately predict, including: the duration and scope of the pandemic; governmental, business and individuals’ actions taken in response to the pandemic and the associated impact on the global economy; decreased demand for motor fuels as travel is restricted and more individuals work remotely; our ability to market our services, including as a result of travel restrictions; and the ability of our customers to pay for our services.

We face counterparty credit risks that our customers, who may be in financial distress, may delay planned projects or seek to renegotiate or terminate existing agreements. Any loss of business from our customers, which is likely to be caused by decreased demand for motor fuels and other challenges caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and lower energy prices could have a material adverse effect on our revenues and results of operations. In addition, significant price fluctuations for motor fuels as a result of the outbreak could materially affect our profitability.

Further, the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic may increase our cost of capital, make additional capital more difficult to obtain or available only on terms less favorable to us and limit our access to the capital markets. This could lead to an inability to fund capital expenditures, which could have a material impact on our operations. Further, a sustained downturn may also result in the carrying value of our goodwill or other intangible assets exceeding their fair value, which may require us to recognize an impairment to those assets.
