Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Quarterly Report”) contains various forward-looking statements and information that are based on our beliefs and those of our general partner, as well as assumptions made by and information currently available to us. These forward-looking statements are identified as any statement that does not relate strictly to historical or current facts. Certain words in this Quarterly Report such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “forecast,” “goal,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “project,” “will,” and similar expressions and statements regarding our plans and objectives for future operations, identify forward-looking statements. Although we and our general partner believe such forward-looking statements are reasonable, neither we nor our general partner can assure they will prove to be correct. Forward-looking statements are subject to a variety of risks, uncertainties and assumptions. If one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or if underlying assumptions prove incorrect, our actual results may vary materially from those expected. Among the key risk factors that may affect our consolidated financial position and results of operations are:
•
the prices of crude oil, natural gas liquids, diesel, ethanol, and biodiesel;
•
energy prices generally;

the effect of weather conditions on supply and demand for crude oil, natural gas liquids, diesel, ethanol, and biodiesel;

the effect of natural disasters, lightning strikes, or other significant weather events;
•
the availability of local, intrastate, and interstate transportation infrastructure with respect to our truck, railcar, and barge transportation services;
•
the availability, price, and marketing of competing fuels;
•
the effect of energy conservation efforts on product demand;
•
energy efficiencies and technological trends;
•
changes in applicable laws and regulations, including tax, environmental, transportation, and employment regulations, or new interpretations by regulatory agencies concerning such laws and regulations and the effect of such laws and regulations (now existing or in the future) on our business operations;
•
the effect of legislative and regulatory actions on hydraulic fracturing, produced water disposal and transportation, and the treatment of flowback and produced water;
•
hazards or operating risks related to transporting and distributing petroleum products that may not be fully covered by insurance;
•
the maturity of the crude oil, natural gas liquids, and refined products industries and competition from other markets;

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1

Organization and Operations
NGL Energy Partners LP (“we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Partnership”) is
a Delaware limited partnership
.
NGL Energy Holdings LLC serves as our general partner.
At
December 31, 2019
,
our operations included:
•
Our Crude Oil Logistics segment purchases crude oil from producers and marketers and transports it to refineries or for resale at pipeline injection stations, storage terminals, barge loading facilities, rail facilities, refineries, and other trade hubs, and provides storage, terminaling, trucking, marine and pipeline transportation services through its owned assets.
•
Our Water Solutions segment provides services for the treatment and disposal of produced water generated from crude oil and natural gas production and for the disposal of solids such as tank bottoms, drilling fluids and drilling muds and performs truck and frac tank washouts. In addition, our Water Solutions segment sells the recovered hydrocarbons that result from performing these services and sells freshwater to producers for exploration and production activities.
•
Our Liquids segment supplies natural gas liquids to retailers, wholesalers, refiners, and petrochemical plants throughout the United States and in Canada using its leased underground storage and fleet of leased railcars, markets regionally through its
27
owned terminals throughout the United States, and provides terminaling and storage services at its salt dome storage facility joint venture in Utah.
•
Our Refined Products and Renewables segment conducts diesel, ethanol, and biodiesel marketing operations, purchases refined petroleum and renewable products primarily in the Gulf Coast, West Coast and Midwest regions of the United States and schedules them for delivery at various locations throughout the country.
See below for a discussion of the sale of a portion of our Refined Products and Renewables segment.
Recent Developments
On September 30, 2019, we completed the sale of TransMontaigne Product Services, LLC (“TPSL”) and associated assets to Trajectory Acquisition Company, LLC (“Trajectory”) for total consideration of approximately
$
233.8
million
,
including equity consideration, inventory and net working capital
(see
Note 17
).
TPSL made up a portion of our Refined Products and Renewables segment. The divested assets include (i) TPSL Terminaling Services Agreement with TransMontaigne Partners LP, including the exclusive rights to utilize
19
terminals; (ii) line space along Colonial and Plantation Pipelines; (iii)
two
wholly-owned refined products terminals in Georgia that we acquired in January 2019 and multiple third-party throughput agreements; and (iv) all associated customer contracts, inventory and other working capital associated with the assets. In December 2019, the Partnership formalized a plan and received approval to divest of its gas blending business in the southeastern and eastern regions of the United States (“Gas Blending”) and its refined products marketing business in the mid-continent region of the United States (“Mid-Con”). The Partnership had determined that these businesses were no longer core to the Partnership’s strategy. These transactions represent a strategic shift in our operations and will have a significant effect on our operations and financial results going forward. Accordingly, the results of operations and cash flows related to TPSL, Mid-Con and Gas Blending have been classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented, and prior periods have been retrospectively adjusted in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. In addition, the assets and liabilities related to TPSL have been classified as held for sale in our March 31, 2019 unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet and certain assets and liabilities, particularly inventory, derivatives and leases, related to Mid-Con and Gas Blending have been classified as held for sale in our December 31, 2019 and March 31, 2019 unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.
On January 3, 2020, we completed the sale of Mid-Con to a third-party.
See
Note 16
for a further discussion of these transactions
.
As previously disclosed, on July 10, 2018, we completed the sale of virtually all of our remaining Retail Propane segment to Superior Plus Corp. (“Superior”) for total consideration of
$
889.8
million
in cash.
We retained our
50
%
ownership interest in Victory Propane, LLC (“Victory Propane”), which we subsequently sold on August 14, 2018. This transaction represented a strategic shift in our operations and will have a significant effect on our operations and financial results going forward. Accordingly, the results of operations and cash flows related to our former Retail Propane segment (including equity in earnings of Victory Propane) have been classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented and prior periods have been retrospectively adjusted in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include our accounts and those of our controlled subsidiaries. Intercompany transactions and account balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Investments we do not control, but can exercise significant influence over, are accounted for using the equity method of accounting.
We also own an undivided interest in a crude oil pipeline, and include our proportionate share of assets, liabilities, and expenses related to this pipeline in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim consolidated financial information in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements exclude certain information and notes required by GAAP for complete annual consolidated financial statements. However, we believe that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments that we consider necessary for a fair presentation of our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. Such adjustments consist only of normal recurring items, unless otherwise disclosed in this Quarterly Report. The unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2019 was derived from our audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal
year ended March 31, 2019
included in our Current Report on Form 8-K (“Current Report”) filed with the SEC on November 22, 2019.
These interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Current Report. Due to the seasonal nature of certain of our operations and other factors, the results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for future periods or for the full fiscal year ending
March 31, 2020
.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amount of assets and liabilities reported at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the amount of revenues and expenses reported during the periods presented.
Critical estimates we make in the preparation of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include, among others, determining the fair value of assets and liabilities acquired in acquisitions, the fair value of derivative instruments, the collectibility of accounts receivable, the recoverability of inventories, useful lives and recoverability of property, plant and equipment and amortizable intangible assets, the impairment of long-lived assets and goodwill, the fair value of asset retirement obligations, the value of equity-based compensation, accruals for environmental matters and estimating certain revenues. Although we believe these estimates are reasonable, actual results could differ from those estimates.
Significant Accounting Policies
Our significant accounting policies are consistent with those disclosed in Note 2 of our audited consolidated financial statements included in our Current Report.
Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value is based upon assumptions that market participants would use when pricing an asset or liability. We use the following fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes valuation technique inputs used to measure fair value into three broad levels:
•
Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that we have the ability to access at the measurement date.
10
NGL ENERGY PARTNERS LP AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
•
Level 2: Inputs (other than quoted prices included within Level 1) that are either directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability, including (i) quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, (ii) quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, (iii) inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, and (iv) inputs that are derived from observable market data by correlation or other means. Instruments categorized in Level 2 include non-exchange traded derivatives such as over-the-counter commodity price swap and option contracts and forward commodity contracts. We determine the fair value of all of our derivative financial instruments utilizing pricing models for similar instruments. Inputs to the pricing models include publicly available prices and forward curves generated from a compilation of data gathered from third parties.
•
Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability including situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability.
The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). In some cases, the inputs used to measure fair value might fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. The lowest level input that is significant to a fair value measurement determines the applicable level in the fair value hierarchy. Assessing the significance of a particular input to a fair value measurement requires judgment, considering factors specific to the asset or liability.
Derivative Financial Instruments
We record all derivative financial instrument contracts at fair value in our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets except for certain physical contracts that qualify for the
normal purchase and normal sale election
.
Under this accounting policy election, we do not record the physical contracts at fair value at each balance sheet date; instead, we record the purchase or sale at the contracted value once the delivery occurs.
We have not designated any financial instruments as hedges for accounting purposes.
All changes in the fair value of our physical contracts that do not qualify as normal purchases and normal sales and settlements (whether cash transactions or non-cash mark-to-market adjustments) are reported either within revenue (for sales contracts) or cost of sales (for purchase contracts) in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations, regardless of whether the contract is physically or financially settled.
We utilize various commodity derivative financial instrument contracts to attempt to reduce our exposure to price fluctuations. We do not enter into such contracts for trading purposes. Changes in assets and liabilities from commodity derivative financial instruments result primarily from changes in market prices, newly originated transactions, and the timing of settlements and are reported within cost of sales on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations, along with related settlements. We attempt to balance our contractual portfolio in terms of notional amounts and timing of performance and delivery obligations. However, net unbalanced positions can exist or are established based on our assessment of anticipated market movements. Inherent in the resulting contractual portfolio are certain business risks, including commodity price risk and credit risk.
Commodity price risk is the risk that the market value of crude oil, natural gas liquids, or refined and renewables products will change, either favorably or unfavorably, in response to changing market conditions.
Credit risk is the risk of loss from nonperformance by suppliers, customers or financial counterparties to a contract.
Procedures and limits for managing commodity price risks and credit risks are specified in our market risk policy and credit policy, respectively.
Open commodity positions and market price changes are monitored daily and are reported to senior management and to marketing operations personnel.
Credit risk is monitored daily and exposure is minimized through customer deposits, restrictions on product liftings, letters of credit, and entering into master netting agreements that allow for offsetting counterparty receivable and payable balances for certain transactions.
Income Taxes
We qualify as a partnership for income tax purposes. As such, we generally do not pay United States federal income tax. Rather, each owner reports his or her share of our income or loss on his or her individual tax return. The aggregate difference in the basis of our net assets for financial and tax reporting purposes cannot be readily determined, as we do not have access to information regarding each partner’s basis in the Partnership.
We have certain taxable corporate subsidiaries in the United States and Canada, and our operations in Texas are subject to a state franchise tax that is calculated based on revenues net of cost of sales.

NGL ENERGY PARTNERS LP AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
We have a deferred tax liability of
$
51.3
million
at
December 31, 2019
as a result of acquiring corporations in connection with certain of our acquisitions, which is included within other noncurrent liabilities in our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. The deferred tax liability at December 31, 2019 increased by
$
38.7
million
from September 30, 2019 due to our acquisition of Hillstone (as defined herein), which included entities taxed as corporations for United States federal income tax purposes. The deferred tax liability is the tax effected cumulative temporary difference between the GAAP basis and tax basis of the acquired assets within the corporation. For GAAP purposes, certain of the acquired assets will be depreciated and amortized over time which will lower the GAAP basis. The deferred tax benefit recorded during the
nine months ended
December 31, 2019
was
$
1.4
million
with an effective tax rate of
25.1
%
.
We evaluate uncertain tax positions for recognition and measurement in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. To recognize a tax position, we determine whether it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation, based on the technical merits of the position. A tax position that meets the more likely than not threshold is measured to determine the amount of benefit to be recognized in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. We had no material uncertain tax positions that required recognition in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements at
December 31, 2019
or
March 31, 2019
.
Inventories
Our inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost determined using either the weighted-average cost or the first in, first out (FIFO) methods, including the cost of transportation and storage, and with net realizable value defined as the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. In performing this analysis, we consider fixed-price forward commitments.
Inventories consist of the following at the dates indicated:

Investments in Unconsolidated Entities
Investments we do not control, but can exercise significant influence over, are accounted for using the equity method of accounting.
Investments in partnerships and limited liability companies, unless our investment is considered to be minor, and investments in unincorporated joint ventures are also accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method, we do not report the individual assets and liabilities of these entities on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets; instead, our ownership interests are reported within investments in unconsolidated entities on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. Under the equity method, the investment is recorded at acquisition cost, increased by our proportionate share of any earnings and additional capital contributions and decreased by our proportionate share of any losses,

Represents the noncurrent portion of a loan receivable associated with our interest in the construction of a natural gas liquids loading/unloading facility (the “Facility”) that is utilized by a third party that filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy during the three months ended September 30, 2019. As of
December 31, 2019
, we are owed a total of
$
26.4
million
under this loan receivable, of which approximately
$
20.2
million
is recorded within prepaid expenses and other current assets in our unaudited condensed unconsolidated balance sheet. Our loan receivable is secured by a lien on the Facility. We have filed our Proof of Claim within the bankruptcy case and although the third party may have the option to reject the agreement governing the receivable in the context of the bankruptcy proceeding, subject to bankruptcy court approval, the third party’s current intention appears to be to transfer the Facility to a third party purchaser in satisfaction of the full amount owed under the receivable. It is also possible that the third party may deviate from this course and propose a different plan. Accordingly, we will continue to monitor the bankruptcy case through its conclusion. The remaining amount represents the noncurrent portion of a loan receivable with Victory Propane.

$
23.5
million
. In October 2019, we extended our commitment with this crude oil pipeline operator and this extension provides us with an additional
5.5

Noncontrolling Interests
Noncontrolling interests represent the portion of certain consolidated subsidiaries that are owned by third parties.
Amounts are adjusted by the noncontrolling interest holder’s proportionate share of the subsidiaries’ earnings or losses each period and any distributions that are paid. Noncontrolling interests are reported as a component of equity.
Acquisitions
To determine if a transaction should be accounted for as a business combination or an acquisition of assets, we first calculate the relative fair values of the assets acquired. If substantially all of the relative fair value is concentrated in a single asset or group of similar assets, or if not but the transaction does not include a significant process (does not meet the definition of a business), we record the transaction as an acquisition of assets. For acquisitions of assets, the purchase price is allocated based on the relative fair values. For an acquisition of assets, goodwill is not recorded. All other transactions are recorded as business combinations. We record the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination at their acquisition date fair values. For a business combination, the excess of the purchase price over the net fair value of acquired assets and assumed liabilities is recorded as goodwill, which is not amortized but instead is evaluated for impairment at least annually.
Pursuant to GAAP, an entity is allowed a reasonable period of time (not to exceed one year) to obtain the information necessary to identify and measure the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. As
14
NGL ENERGY PARTNERS LP AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
discussed in
Note 4
, certain of our acquisitions are still within this measurement period, and as a result, the acquisition date fair values we have recorded for the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are subject to change.
Also, as discussed in
Note 4
, we made certain adjustments during the
nine months ended
December 31, 2019
to our estimates of the acquisition date fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations that occurred during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019.
Reclassifications
We have reclassified certain prior period financial statement information to be consistent with the classification methods used in the current fiscal year. These reclassifications did not impact previously reported amounts of assets, liabilities, equity, net income, or cash flows.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses.” The ASU requires a financial asset (or a group of financial assets) measured at amortized cost to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected, which would include accounts receivable. The measurement of expected credit losses is based on relevant information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectibility of the reported amount. The ASU is effective for the Partnership beginning April 1, 2020, and requires a modified retrospective method of adoption, although early adoption is permitted. We are currently in the process of assessing the impact of this ASU on our consolidated financial statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASC 842, “Leases.” This ASU replaced previous lease accounting guidance in GAAP. The new guidance requires the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases. It also retains a distinction between finance leases and operating leases. For lessors, the new accounting model remains largely the same, although some changes have been made to align it with the new lessee model and the ASC 606 revenue recognition guidance. We adopted ASC 842 effective April 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective method, with no adjustment to comparative period information, which remains reported under ASC 840, and no cumulative effect adjustment to equity. See
Note 15
for a further discussion of the impact of adoption of ASC 842 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Acquisitions
The following summarizes our acquisitions during the
nine months ended
December 31, 2019
:
Business Combinations
Hillstone Acquisition
On October 31, 2019, we acquired all of the equity interests of Hillstone Environmental Partners, LLC (“Hillstone”) for
$
642.5
million
, subject to certain adjustments. Hillstone provides water pipeline and disposal infrastructure solutions to producers with a core operational focus in the state line area of southern Eddy and Lea Counties, New Mexico and northern Loving County, Texas in the Delaware Basin. Hillstone has a fully interconnected produced water pipeline transportation and disposal system, which consists of
19
saltwater disposal wells, representing approximately
580,000
barrels per day of permitted disposal capacity, and a newly-built network of produced water pipelines with approximately
680,000
barrels per day of
16
NGL ENERGY PARTNERS LP AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
transportation capacity. Hillstone also has an additional
22
permits to develop another
660,000
barrels per day of disposal capacity. The acquired assets also include minimum volume commitments and long-term dedications covering over
110,000
contracted acres, including a 20-year acreage dedication, a 10-year acreage dedication, including first call rights, with a leading independent exploration and production company, and multiple contracts with one of the largest crude oil and natural gas exploration and production companies in the United States.
As part of this acquisition, we recorded a customer relationship intangible asset. We estimated the value of this intangible asset using the income approach, which uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts (for example, cash flows or earnings) to a single present amount (discounted). The measurement is based on the value indicated by current market expectations about those future amounts.
The agreement for this acquisition contemplates post-closing payments for certain working capital items. We are accounting for this transaction as a business combination.
The following table summarizes the preliminary estimates of the fair values as of
December 31, 2019
for the assets acquired and liabilities assumed (in thousands):

As of
December 31, 2019
, the allocation of the purchase price is considered preliminary as we are continuing to gather additional information to (i) finalize the fair values of the property, plant and equipment and intangible assets and (ii) finalize the calculation of the operating lease liabilities and right-of-use assets, asset retirement obligations and the deferred tax liability.
Goodwill represents the excess of the consideration paid for the acquired business over the fair value of the individual assets acquired, net of liabilities assumed. Goodwill represents a premium paid to expand the number of our disposal sites in an oilfield production basin currently serviced by us, thereby enhancing our competitive position as a provider of disposal services in this oilfield production basin. We expect that all of the goodwill will be deductible for federal income tax purposes.
The operations of these water solutions facilities have been included in our unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations since their acquisition date. Our unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations for the
nine months ended
December 31, 2019
includes revenues of
$
13.2
million
and an operating loss of
$
4.4
million
that were generated by the operations of these water solutions facilities. We incurred
$
12.0
million
of transaction costs related to this acquisition during the
nine months ended
December 31, 2019
, which is recorded within general and administrative expenses in our unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations. In addition, on December 31, 2019, the Partnership sold its interest in the unconsolidated entity acquired as part of this transaction.
Mesquite Acquisition
On July 2, 2019, we acquired all of the assets of Mesquite Disposals Unlimited, LLC (“Mesquite”) (including
34
saltwater disposal wells). The purchase price was comprised of (i)
$
592.5
million
in cash, (ii) the issuance of
$
102.8
million
of our Class B Preferred Units (as defined herein) and (iii) additional cash payments of
$
200.0
million
to be paid in
two
deferred installments contingent on the average daily volume of produced water processed utilizing the assets being acquired. Mesquite SWD Inc. will remain the operator of the Mesquite assets led by Mesquite’s current management team. The assets consist of a fully interconnected produced water pipeline transportation and disposal system in Eddy and Lea Counties, New Mexico, and Loving County, Texas.
17
NGL ENERGY PARTNERS LP AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
To determine our preliminary purchase price of
$
885.3
million
, we included the fair value of the deferred payments at the date of acquisition of
$
190.0
million
, to the sum of the cash paid and the value of the preferred units issued. During the three months ended December 31, 2019, the volume of produced water processed utilizing the assets acquired surpassed both thresholds, thus triggering the payment of the full
$
200.0
million
. The agreement was amended by both parties for the payment to be made in
six
installments over the next six months. The first installment payment of
$
55.0
million
was made on January 10, 2020.
As part of this acquisition, we recorded customer commitment, customer relationship and right-of way intangible assets. We estimated the value of these intangible assets using the income approach, which uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts (for example, cash flows or earnings) to a single present amount (discounted). The measurement is based on the value indicated by current market expectations about those future amounts.

Acquisitions of Assets
On November 7, 2019, we acquired the exclusive rights to use certain land for produced and treated water operations from one entity, certain membership interests (see
Note 2
) in another entity and other assets. The membership interests are in an entity that owns real property and provides freshwater services. In addition, we entered into a joint development agreement with the seller and affiliates to build and operate produced, treated and blended water facilities. The total purchase price for this transaction was
$
56.6
million
, of which
$
36.1
million
was allocated to the produced and treated water rights (intangible asset),
$

, which we are accounting for as an acquisition of assets. The consideration paid for this transaction was allocated primarily to property, plant and equipment.
The following summarizes the status of the preliminary purchase price allocation of acquisitions prior to April 1, 2019:
Saltwater Water Solutions Facilities
During the three months ended June 30, 2019, we completed the acquisition accounting for all saltwater disposal facilities and saltwater disposal wells acquired during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019. Due to the receipt of additional information, we recorded a decrease of
$
2.3
million
to intangible assets with the offset recorded to goodwill. There were no other adjustments to the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed during the three months ended June 30, 2019.
Freshwater Water Solutions Facilities
During the three months ended June 30, 2019, we completed the acquisition accounting for
four
freshwater facilities (including
16
freshwater wells). There were no adjustments to the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed during the three months ended June 30, 2019 for this acquisition.
During the six months ended September 30, 2019, we completed the acquisition accounting for a separate freshwater acquisition. We paid
$
2.5
million
in cash to the sellers during the six months ended September 30, 2019 to complete the settlement of the acquisition. The offset of the cash payment was recorded to goodwill. There were no other adjustments to the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed during the six months ended September 30, 2019.

Credit Agreement
During the quarter, we utilized a portion of the accordion feature under our credit agreement (“Credit Agreement”) whereby two new lenders and one existing lender committed to provide an additional
$
150.0
million
of commitments in total. The Credit Agreement provides up to
$
1.915
billion
in aggregate commitments and consists of a revolving credit facility to fund working capital needs, which had a capacity of
$
641.5
million
for cash borrowings and letters of credit (the “Working Capital Facility”), and a revolving credit facility to fund acquisitions and expansion projects, which had a capacity of
$
1.273
billion
(the “Expansion Capital Facility,” and together with the Working Capital Facility, the “Revolving Credit Facility”) at
December 31, 2019
.
We had letters of credit of
$
117.2
million
on the Working Capital Facility at
December 31, 2019
.
The capacity under the Working Capital Facility may be limited by a “borrowing base” (as defined in the Credit Agreement) which is calculated based on the value of certain working capital items at any point in time.
On October 30, 2019, we amended the Credit Agreement to, among other things, adjust the allocation of the commitments of the lenders to make revolving loans thereunder and, effective with the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2019, amend the covenant package to include the senior secured leverage ratio, interest coverage ratio and total leverage indebtedness ratio financial covenants (each as defined in the Credit Agreement). The new debt covenant levels are presented in the table below.
At
December 31, 2019
, the borrowings under the Credit Agreement had a weighted average interest rate of
4.07
%
, calculated as the weighted average LIBOR rate of
1.76
%
plus a margin of
2.25
%
for LIBOR borrowings and the prime rate of
4.75
%
plus a margin of
1.25
%
on alternate base rate borrowings. At
December 31, 2019
, the interest rate in effect on letters of credit was
2.25
%
. Commitment fees are charged at a rate ranging from
0.375
%
to
0.50
%
on any unused capacity.
The following table summarizes the debt covenant levels specified in the Credit Agreement (as amended):

We were in compliance with the covenants under the Credit Agreement
at

.
Senior Unsecured Notes
On April 9, 2019, we issued
$
450.0
million
of
7.50
%
Senior Unsecured Notes Due 2026 (the “2026 Notes”) in a private placement. The 2026 Notes bear interest, which is payable on April 15 and October 15 of each year, beginning on October 15, 2019 at
7.50
%
per annum. We received net proceeds of
$
442.1
million
, after the initial purchasers’ discount of
$
6.8
million
and offering costs of
$
1.1
million
. The 2026 Notes mature on April 15, 2026.
We filed a registration statement for the 2026 Notes with the SEC which became effective on January 22, 2020. Our exchange offer launched on January 23, 2020 and is set to expire on February 21, 2020, unless we decide to extend it.

Term Credit Agreement
On July 2, 2019 (the “Closing Date”), we entered into a term credit agreement (the “Term Credit Agreement”) with Toronto Dominion (Texas) LLC for a
$
250.0
million
term loan facility. Toronto Dominion (Texas) LLC and certain of its affiliates are also lenders under our Credit Agreement. Proceeds from the term loan facility were used to fund a portion of the purchase price for the Mesquite (as defined herein) acquisition (see
Note 4
).
The commitments under the Term Credit Agreement expire on July 2, 2024. We are subject to prepayments of principal if we enter into certain transactions to sell assets, issue equity or obtain new borrowings.
The obligations under the Term Credit Agreement are guaranteed by the Partnership and certain of the Borrower’s wholly owned subsidiaries, and are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Borrower, the Partnership and the other subsidiary guarantors subject to certain customary exclusions.
All borrowings under the Term Credit Agreement bear interest, at either (a) an alternate base rate plus (i) during the first three-month period after the Closing Date, margin equal to the applicable margin for alternate base rate loans calculated under our existing revolving credit facility, (ii) 2.00% per annum for the second three-month period after the Closing Date, (iii) 2.25% per annum for the third three-month period after the Closing Date, (iv) 2.50% per annum for the fourth three-month period after the Closing Date, and (v) thereafter, the rate per year such that the alternate base rate equals a rate of interest agreed to between us and the administrative agent, or (b) an adjusted LIBOR rate plus (i) during the first three-month period after the Closing Date, margin equal to the applicable margin for LIBOR rate loans calculated under our existing revolving credit facility, (ii) 3.00% per annum for the second three-month period after the Closing Date, (iii) 3.25% per annum for the third three-month period after the Closing Date, (iv) 3.50% per annum for the fourth three-month period after the Closing Date, and (v) thereafter, such rate per annum such that the adjusted LIBOR rate equals a rate of interest agreed to between us and the administrative agent.
At
December 31, 2019
, the borrowings under the Term Credit Agreement had an interest rate of
4.74
%
calculated as the LIBOR rate of
1.74
%
plus a margin of
3.00
%
.
The Term Credit Agreement contains various customary representations, warranties and covenants by the Partnership and its subsidiaries, including, without limitation, (i) commencing September 30, 2019, the Partnership and the subsidiary guarantors will be subject to financial covenants limiting leverage, including senior leverage, secured leverage and total leverage, and requiring a minimum interest coverage, (ii) negative covenants limiting indebtedness, liens, equity distributions and fundamental changes involving the Partnership or its subsidiaries and (iii) affirmative covenants requiring, among other things, reporting of financial information and material events and covenants to maintain existence and pay taxes, in each case substantially consistent with the Partnership’s existing Revolving Credit Facility.
On October 30, 2019, we amended the Term Credit Agreement, to, among other things, conform financial covenants in the Term Credit Agreement to the financial covenants set forth in the amended Credit Agreement, as described above.
Sawtooth Credit Agreement
On November 27, 2019, Sawtooth Caverns LLC (“Sawtooth”), a joint venture in which we own a
71.48
%
interest, entered into a credit agreement with Zions Bancorporation (doing business as “Amegy Bank”). The Sawtooth credit agreement has a capacity of
$
20.0
million
.
The commitments under the Sawtooth credit agreement expire on November 27, 2022.
At
December 31, 2019
,
no
amounts had been borrowed under the Sawtooth credit agreement. Commitment fees are charged at a rate of
0.50
%
on any unused capacity.
Other Long-Term Debt
We have other notes payable related to equipment financing. The interest rates on these instruments range from
4.13
%
to
7.10

(the value of the services rendered by LCT) and (ii) fraudulent misrepresentation against the defendants. Following a jury trial conducted in Delaware state court from July 23, 2018 through August 1, 2018, the jury returned a verdict consisting of an award of
$
4.0
million
for
quantum meruit
and
$
29.0
million
for fraudulent misrepresentation,
subject to statutory interest. The GP and the Partnership contend that
the jury verdict, at least in respect of fraudulent misrepresentation,
is not supportable by either
controlling law or
the evidentiary record. On December 5, 2019, in response to the defendants’ post-trial motion, the Court issued an Order overturning the jury’s damages award and ordering the case to be set for a damages-only trial. Both parties filed applications with the trial court asking the trial court to certify the December 5th Order for interlocutory, immediate review by the Appellate Court. On December 23, 2019, the trial court issued an Order certifying for immediate review by the appellate court the issue of whether the types of damages awarded by the jury are legally supportable since it was also determined by the Court that there was no contract between the parties. On January 7, 2020, the Supreme Court of Delaware entered an Order expanding the issues to be reviewed on appeal to include the additional issues raised by the NGL parties’ application - namely, whether the December 5th Order correctly set aside the jury’s
$
4.0
million
quantum meruit
award, whether certain jury instructions were correct and whether the evidence presented at trial supported the claims asserted by LCT. The Supreme Court consolidated the appeal proceedings for judicial efficiency; and set a briefing cycle for the parties whereby the appeal-related materials will likely be fully submitted by both parties by the Summer of 2020. It is our position that the awards, even if they each stand, are not cumulative. Any allocation of the ultimate verdict award between the GP and the Partnership will be made by the Board of Directors once all information is available to it and after the post-trial and any appellate process has run its course and the verdict is final as a matter of law. Because the Partnership is a named defendant in the suit, and any judgment ultimately awarded would be joint and several with the GP, we have determined that it is probable that the Partnership could be liable for a portion of this judgment. At this time, we believe the amount that could be allocated to the Partnership would not be material as it is estimated to be less than
$
4.0
million
. As of
December 31, 2019
, we have accrued
$
2.5
million
related to this matter.
We are party to various other claims, legal actions, and complaints arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of our management, the ultimate resolution of these claims, legal actions, and complaints, after consideration of amounts accrued, insurance coverage, and other arrangements, is not expected to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, the outcome of such matters is inherently uncertain, and estimates of our liabilities may change materially as circumstances develop.
Environmental Matters
At
December 31, 2019
, we have an environmental liability, measured on an undiscounted basis, of
$
2.1
million
, which is recorded within accrued expenses and other payables in our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. Our operations are subject to extensive federal, state, and local environmental laws and regulations. Although we believe our operations are in
26
NGL ENERGY PARTNERS LP AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
substantial compliance with applicable environmental laws and regulations, risks of additional costs and liabilities are inherent in our business, and there can be no assurance that we will not incur significant costs. Moreover, it is possible that other developments, such as increasingly stringent environmental laws, regulations and enforcement policies thereunder, and claims for damages to property or persons resulting from the operations, could result in substantial costs. Accordingly, we have adopted policies, practices, and procedures in the areas of pollution control, product safety, occupational health, and the handling, storage, use, and disposal of hazardous materials designed to prevent material environmental or other damage, and to limit the financial liability that could result from such events. However, some risk of environmental or other damage is inherent in our business.
In 2015, as previously disclosed, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) informed NGL Crude Logistics, LLC, formerly known as Gavilon, LLC (“Gavilon Energy”), of alleged violations that occurred in 2011 by Gavilon Energy of the Clean Air Act’s renewable fuel standards regulations (prior to its acquisition by us in December 2013). On October 4, 2016, the U.S. Department of Justice, acting at the request of the EPA, filed a civil complaint in the Northern District of Iowa against Gavilon Energy and one of its then suppliers, Western Dubuque Biodiesel LLC (“Western Dubuque”). Consistent with the earlier allegations by the EPA, the civil complaint related to transactions between Gavilon Energy and Western Dubuque and the generation of biodiesel renewable identification numbers (“RINs”) sold by Western Dubuque to Gavilon Energy in 2011. On December 19, 2016, we filed a motion to dismiss the complaint. On January 9, 2017, the EPA filed an amended complaint. The amended complaint seeks an order declaring Western Dubuque’s RINs invalid and requiring the defendants to retire an equivalent number of valid RINs and that the defendants pay statutory civil penalties. On January 23, 2017, we filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint. On May 24, 2017, the court denied our motion to dismiss. Subsequently, the EPA filed a second amended complaint seeking an order declaring Western Dubuque’s RINs invalid, an order requiring us to retire an equivalent number of valid RINs and an award against us of statutory civil penalties. In May 2018, the parties completed briefing on cross-motions for summary judgment concerning liability issues in the case. On July 3, 2018, the Court denied our summary judgment motion and largely granted the plaintiff’s two summary judgment motions on liability. On July 19, 2018, Gavilon Energy reached an agreement in principle with the EPA regarding the terms of a settlement of the case, which was memorialized in a consent decree lodged to the Court on September 27, 2018. Such terms will result in Gavilon Energy paying cash of
$
25.0
million
and retiring
36
million
RINs, over a twelve-month period. The consent decree was approved by the Court on November 8, 2018. The consent decree resolves all matters between Gavilon Energy and the EPA in connection with the above-described complaint. During the fiscal
year ended March 31, 2019
, we paid the EPA
$
12.5
million
and retired all
36
million
RINs. On December 18, 2019, we paid the final EPA settlement amount of
$
12.5
million
.
Asset Retirement Obligations
We have contractual and regulatory obligations at certain facilities for which we have to perform remediation, dismantlement, or removal activities when the assets are retired. Our liability for asset retirement obligations is discounted to present value. To calculate the liability, we make estimates and assumptions about the retirement cost and the timing of retirement. Changes in our assumptions and estimates may occur as a result of the passage of time and the occurrence of future events.
The following table summarizes changes in our asset retirement obligation, which is reported within other noncurrent liabilities in our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets (in thousands):

In addition to the obligations described above, we may be obligated to remove facilities or perform other remediation upon retirement of certain other assets. However, the fair value of the asset retirement obligation cannot currently be reasonably estimated because the settlement dates are indeterminable. We will record an asset retirement obligation for these assets in the periods in which settlement dates are reasonably determinable.

As part of the acquisition of Hillstone, discussed in
Note 4
, we assumed an obligation to pay a quarterly subsidy payment in the event that specified volumetric thresholds are not exceeded at a third-party facility. This agreement expires on December 31, 2022. For the three months and nine months ended December 31, 2019, we recorded
$
0.4

to

Pipeline Capacity Agreements
We have noncancelable agreements with crude oil pipeline operators, which guarantee us minimum monthly shipping capacity on the pipelines. As a result, we are required to pay the minimum shipping fees if actual shipments are less than our allotted capacity. Under certain agreements we have the ability to recover minimum shipping fees previously paid if our shipping volumes exceed the minimum monthly shipping commitment during each month remaining under the agreement, with some contracts containing provisions that allow us to continue shipping up to
six months
after the maturity date of the contract in order to recapture previously paid minimum shipping delinquency fees. We currently have assets recorded in prepaid expenses and other current assets and in other noncurrent assets in our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet for minimum shipping fees paid in both the current and previous periods that are expected to be recovered in future periods by exceeding the minimum monthly volumes (see
Note 2
). In September 2019, we extended our commitment with one pipeline operator through March 31, 2025 and in October 2019, we extended our commitment with another pipeline operator through October 31, 2024. Both extensions are backed by long-term purchase agreements. The extension with the second operator also allows us an additional
5.5
years
to recapture the minimum shipping deficiency fees discussed above.

Our crude oil index-price purchase commitments exceed our crude oil index-price sales commitments (presented below) due primarily to our long-term purchase commitments for crude oil that we purchase and ship on the Grand Mesa Pipeline. As these purchase commitments are deliver-or-pay contracts, whereby our counterparty is required to pay us for any volumes not delivered, we have not entered into corresponding long-term sales contracts for volumes we may not receive.

Equity
Partnership Equity
The Partnership’s equity consists of a
0.1
%
general partner interest and a
99.9
%
limited partner interest, which consists of common units. Our general partner has the right, but not the obligation, to contribute a proportionate amount of capital to us to maintain its
0.1
%
general partner interest. Our general partner is not required to guarantee or pay any of our debts and obligations. As of
December 31, 2019
, we owned
8.69
%
of our general partner.
General Partner Contributions
In connection with the issuance of common units for the vesting of restricted units and the warrants that were exercised for common units during the
nine months ended
December 31, 2019
, we issued
3,844
notional units to our general partner for
less than $
0.1
million
in order to maintain its
0.1
%
interest in us.
Equity Issuances
On August 24, 2016, we entered into an equity distribution agreement in connection with an at-the-market program (the “ATM Program”) pursuant to which we may issue and sell up to
$
200.0
million
of common units. We did not sell any common units under the ATM Program during the
nine months ended
December 31, 2019
, and approximately
$
134.7
million
remained available for sale under the ATM Program at
December 31, 2019
. The registration statement applicable to this program expired in July 2019.
Common Unit Repurchase Program
On August 30, 2019, the board of directors of our general partner authorized a common unit repurchase plan, under which we may repurchase up to
$
150.0
million
of our outstanding common units through September 30, 2021 from time to time in the open market or in other privately negotiated transactions.
We did not repurchase any units under this plan during the

(net of offering costs of
$
5.0
million
) in connection with the issuance of
19,942,169
Class A Convertible Preferred Units (“Class A Preferred Units”) and
4,375,112
warrants.
We allocated the net proceeds on a relative fair value basis to the Class A Preferred Units, which includes the value of a beneficial conversion feature, and warrants. There was
no
accretion for the beneficial conversion feature, recorded as a deemed distribution, for the
three months ended
December 31, 2019

Class D Preferred Units
On July 2, 2019, we completed a private placement of an aggregate of

preferred units (“Class D Preferred Units”) and warrants exercisable to purchase an aggregate of
17,000,000
common units for an aggregate purchase price of
$
400.0

. The private placement resulted in aggregate net proceeds to us of approximately
$
385.4
million
(net of a closing fee of
$
14.6
million
payable to affiliates of the purchasers and certain estimated expenses and expense reimbursements). We allocated the net proceeds, on a relative fair value basis, to the Class D Preferred Units (
$
343.7
million
) and warrants ($
41.7
million
). Proceeds from this issuance of Class D Preferred Units were used to fund a portion of the purchase price for the Mesquite acquisition (see

On October 31, 2019, we completed a private placement of an aggregate of
200,000
Class D Preferred Units and warrants exercisable to purchase an aggregate of
8,500,000
common units for an aggregate purchase price of
$
200.0

. The private placement resulted in aggregate net proceeds to us of approximately
$
194.7
million
(net of a closing fee of
$

million
) and warrants (
$
11.1
million
). Proceeds from this issuance of Class D Preferred Units were used to fund a portion of the purchase price for the Hillstone acquisition (see
Note 4
).
The holders of the Class D Preferred Units are entitled to receive a cumulative, quarterly distribution in arrears on each Class D Preferred Unit then held at an annual rate of (i) 9.00% per annum for all periods during which the Class D Preferred Units are outstanding beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the date and including the last day of the eleventh full quarter following the Closing Date, (ii) 10.00% per annum for all periods during which the Class D Preferred Units are outstanding beginning on and including the first day of the twelfth full quarter following the Closing Date and ending on the last day of the nineteenth full quarter following the Closing Date, and (iii) thereafter, 10.00% per annum or, at the purchasers’ election from time to time, a floating rate equal to the applicable three-month LIBOR, plus 7.00% per annum. The current distribution rate for the Class D Preferred Units is 9.00% per year per unit (equal to $90.00 per unit per year).

At any time after the Closing Date, the Partnership shall have the right to redeem all of the outstanding Class D Preferred Units at a price per Class D Preferred Unit equal to the sum of the then-unpaid accumulations with respect to such Class D Preferred Unit and the greater of either the applicable multiple on invested capital or the applicable redemption price based on an applicable internal rate of return, as more fully described in the Amended and Restated Partnership Agreement. At any time on or after the eighth anniversary of the Closing Date, each Class D Preferred Unitholder will have the right to require the Partnership to redeem on a date not prior to the 180th day after such anniversary all or a portion of the Class D Preferred Units then held by such preferred unitholder for the then-applicable redemption price, which may be paid in cash or, at the Partnership’s election, a combination of cash and a number of Common Units not to exceed one-half of the aggregate then-applicable redemption price, as more fully described in the Amended and Restated Partnership Agreement. Upon a Class D Change of Control (as defined in the Amended and Restated Partnership Agreement), each Class D Preferred Unitholder will have the right to require the Partnership to redeem the Class D Preferred Units then held by such Preferred Unitholder at a price per Class D Preferred Unit equal to the applicable redemption price. The Class D Preferred Units generally will not have any voting rights, except with respect to certain matters which require the vote of the Class D Preferred Units. The Class D Preferred Units generally do not have any voting rights, except that the Class D Preferred Units shall be entitled to vote as a separate class on any matter on which unitholders are entitled to vote that adversely affects the rights, powers, privileges or preferences of the Class D Preferred Units in relation to other classes of Partnership Interests (as defined in the Amended and Restated Partnership Agreement) or as required by law. The consent of a majority of the then-outstanding Class D Preferred Units, with one vote per Class D Preferred Unit, shall be required to approve any matter for which the preferred unitholders are entitled to vote as a separate class or the consent of the representative of the Class D Preferred Unitholders, as applicable.
The warrants issued in the July 2, 2019 private placement are exercisable for, in the aggregate,
17,000,000
common units, of which
10,000,000
were issued with an exercise price of
$
17.45
per common unit (the “Premium Warrants”), and the remaining warrants to purchase
7,000,000
common units were issued with an exercise price of
$
14.54
per common unit (the “Par Warrants”). The warrants issued in the October 31, 2019 private placement are exercisable for, in the aggregate,
8,500,000
common units, of which,
5,000,000
were issued with an exercise price of
$
16.28
per common unit, and the remaining warrants to purchase
3,500,000
common units were issued with an exercise price of
$
13.56
per common unit. The warrants may be exercised from and after the first anniversary of the date of issuance. Unexercised warrants will expire on the tenth anniversary of the date of issuance. The warrants will not participate in cash distributions.
Upon a change of control, all unvested warrants shall immediately vest and be exercisable in full. A change of control occurs when (a) the current general partner owners cease to own, directly or indirectly, at least 50% of the outstanding voting securities of the general partner, (b) the general partner withdraws or is removed by the limited partners, (c) the common units are no longer listed on a national exchange, or (d) the general partners and/or its affiliates become beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of 80% or more of the outstanding common units or any transaction or event that occurs due to default on our credit agreement.
Registration Rights Agreement
In connection with the issuance of the Class D Preferred Units, we entered into a registration rights agreement (“Registration Rights Agreement”) with the purchasers of the Class D Preferred Units (“Purchasers”), pursuant to which we are required to prepare and file a registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) within 180 days of the Closing Date, to permit the public resale of (i) the Class D Preferred Units, (ii) the common units issued or issuable upon the exercise of the warrants, (iii) the common units that are issuable pursuant to the terms of the Class D Preferred Units in connection with a redemption of the Class D Preferred Units and (iv) any common units issued in lieu of cash as liquidated damages under the Registration Rights Agreement. The Partnership is also required to use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Registration Statement to become effective no later than 360 days after the Closing Date. The Registration Rights Agreement provides that if the Registration Statement is not declared effective on or prior to the Registration Statement Deadline, the Partnership will be liable to the Purchasers for liquidated damages in accordance with a formula, subject to the limitations set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement. Such liquidated damages would be payable in cash, or if payment in cash would breach any covenant or a cause a default under a credit facility or any other debt instrument filed by the Partnership as an exhibit to a periodic report filed with the SEC, then such liquidated damages would be payable in the form of newly issued common units. In addition, the Registration Rights Agreement grants the Purchasers piggyback registration rights. These registration rights are transferable to affiliates of the Purchasers and, in certain circumstances, to third parties.
The Registration Statement was filed with the SEC on December 27, 2019.

Board Rights Agreement
In connection with the issuance of the Class D Preferred Units, we entered into a board rights agreement pursuant to which affiliates of the Purchasers will have the right to designate one director on the board of directors of our general partner, so long as the Purchasers and their respective affiliates, in the aggregate, own either at least (i) (A) 50% of the number of Class D Preferred Units issued on the Closing Date or (B) 50% of the aggregate liquidation preference of any class or series of Class D Parity Securities (as defined in the Amended and Restated Partnership Agreement), or (ii) warrants and/or common units that, in the aggregate, comprise 10% or more of the then-outstanding common units.
Amended and Restated Partnership Agreement
On October 31, 2019, NGL Energy Holdings LLC executed the Seventh Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership. The preferences, rights, powers and duties of holders of Class D Preferred Units are defined in the Amended and Restated Partnership Agreement. The Class D Preferred Units rank senior to the common units with respect to payment of distributions and distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution and winding up, and are in parity with the Class B Preferred Units and Class C Preferred Units. The Class D Preferred Units have no stated maturity, but we may redeem the Class D Preferred Units at any time after the Closing Date or upon the occurrence of a change in control.
Equity-Based Incentive Compensation
Our general partner has adopted a long-term incentive plan (“LTIP”), which allows for the issuance of equity-based compensation. Our general partner has granted certain restricted units to employees and directors, which vest in tranches, subject to the continued service of the recipients. The awards may also vest upon a change of control, at the discretion of the board of directors of our general partner.
No
distributions accrue to or are paid on the restricted units during the vesting period.
The restricted units vest contingent on the continued service of the recipients through the vesting date (the “Service Awards”).
The following table summarizes the Service Award activity during the
nine months ended
December 31, 2019

Service Awards are valued at the average of the high/low sales price as of the grant date less the present value of the expected distribution stream over the vesting period using a risk-free interest rate. We record the expense for each Service Award on a straight-line basis over the requisite period for the entire award (that is, over the requisite service period of the last separately vesting portion of the award), ensuring that the amount of compensation cost recognized at any date at least equals the portion of the grant-date value of the award that is vested at that date.

Amounts as of December 31, 2019 and March 31, 2019 in the tables above do not include commodity derivative contract positions related to Mid-Con and Gas Blending, as these amounts have been classified as current and noncurrent assets and liabilities held for sale within our December 31, 2019 and March 31, 2019 unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets (see

Con, Gas Blending, TPSL and our former Retail Propane segment, as these amounts have been classified within discontinued operations in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations (see
Note 16
).
Credit Risk
We have credit policies that we believe minimize our overall credit risk, including an evaluation of potential counterparties’ financial condition (including credit ratings), collateral requirements under certain circumstances, and the use of industry standard master netting agreements, which allow for offsetting counterparty receivable and payable balances for certain transactions.
At
December 31, 2019
,
our primary counterparties were retailers, resellers, energy marketers, producers, refiners, and dealers.
This concentration of counterparties may impact our overall exposure to credit risk, either positively or negatively, as the counterparties may be similarly affected by changes in economic, regulatory or other conditions. If a counterparty does not perform on a contract, we may not realize amounts that have been recorded in our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets and recognized in our net income.
Interest Rate Risk
The Revolving Credit Facility is variable-rate debt with interest rates that are generally indexed to bank prime or LIBOR interest rates.
At
December 31, 2019
,
we had
$
1.4
billion
of outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility at a weighted average interest rate of
4.07
%
.
The Term Credit Agreement is variable-rate debt with interest rates that are generally indexed to bank prime or LIBOR interest rates.
At
December 31, 2019
,
we had
$
250.0
million
of outstanding borrowings under the Term Credit Agreement at an interest rate of
4.74

A member of the board of directors of our general partner is an executive officer of WPX Energy, Inc. (“WPX”). We purchase crude oil from and sell crude oil to WPX (certain of the purchases and sales that were entered into in contemplation of each other are recorded on a net basis within revenues in our unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations). We also treat and dispose of produced water and solids received from WPX.
SemGroup Corporation (“SemGroup”) holds ownership interests in our general partner. We sell product to and purchase product from SemGroup, and these transactions are included within revenues and cost of sales, respectively, in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. In December 2019, Energy Transfer LP (“ET”) acquired SemGroup.

Revenue from Contracts with Customers
Effective April 1, 2018, we recognize revenue for services and products under revenue contracts as our obligations to either perform services or deliver or sell products under the contracts are satisfied. A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer. A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation in the contract and is recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. Our revenue contracts in scope under ASC 606 primarily have a single performance obligation. The evaluation of when performance obligations have been satisfied and the transaction price that is allocated to our performance obligations requires significant judgment and assumptions, including our evaluation of the timing of when control of the underlying good or service has transferred to our customers and the relative stand-alone selling price of goods and services provided to customers under contracts with multiple performance obligations. Actual results can vary from those judgments and assumptions. We do not
40
NGL ENERGY PARTNERS LP AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
have any material contracts with multiple performance obligations or under which we receive material amounts of non-cash consideration. Our costs to obtain or fulfill our revenue contracts were not material as of
December 31, 2019
.
The majority of our revenue agreements are within scope under ASC 606 and the remainder of our revenue comes from contracts that are accounted for as derivatives under ASC 815 or that contain nonmonetary exchanges or leases and are in scope under Topics 845 and 842, respectively. See
Note 12
for a detail of disaggregated revenue. Revenue from contracts accounted for as derivatives under ASC 815 within our Refined Products and Renewables segment includes
$
1.2
million
of
net losses
related to changes in the mark-to-market value of these arrangements recorded during the
nine months ended
December 31, 2019
.
Remaining Performance Obligations
Most of our service contracts are such that we have the right to consideration from a customer in an amount that corresponds directly with the value to the customer of our performance completed to date. Therefore, we are utilizing the practical expedient in ASC 606-10-55-18 under which we recognize revenue in the amount to which we have the right to invoice. Applying this practical expedient, we are not required to disclose the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations under these agreements.
The following table summarizes the amount and timing of revenue recognition for such contracts at
December 31, 2019

Leases
We adopted ASC 842 effective April 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective method, with no adjustment to comparative period information, which remains reported under ASC 840, and no cumulative effect adjustment to equity. Upon adoption, we recorded operating lease right-of-use assets of
$
551.2
million
and operating lease obligations of
$
549.0
million
, including amounts classified as assets and liabilities held for sale. The adoption of this standard did not impact our unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations or unaudited condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the three months ended June 30, 2019.
41
NGL ENERGY PARTNERS LP AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
We also elected the following transitional practical expedients, which allowed us to (i) not evaluate land easements prior to April 1, 2019; (ii) use hindsight in determining the lease term; (iii) not reassess whether current or expired contracts contain leases; (iv) not reassess the lease classification for any expired or existing leases; and (v) not reassess initial costs.
Lessee Accounting
Our leasing activity primarily consists of product storage, office space, real estate, railcars, and equipment. We determine if an agreement contains a lease at the inception of the arrangement. If an arrangement is determined to contain a lease, we classify the lease as an operating lease or a finance lease depending on the terms of the arrangement. All of our leases are classified as operating leases. Operating lease right-of-use assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term when we control the use of the asset by obtaining substantially all of the economic benefits of the asset and direct the use of the asset. Operating lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities with an initial term of greater than one year are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As our leases do not provide an implicit interest rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. Our incremental borrowing rate represents the interest rate which we would pay to borrow, on a collateralized basis, an amount equal to the lease payments over a similar term in a similar economic environment. We do not have any leases that provide for guarantees of residual value.
Our lease agreements may include options to extend or terminate the lease which are included in the measurement of our operating lease liability when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise the option. Lease renewal terms vary from
one year
to
30
years
. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. We have variable lease payments, including adjustments to lease payments based on an index or rate, such as a consumer price index, fair value adjustments to lease payments, and common area maintenance, real estate taxes, and insurance payments in certain real estate leases. We also have certain land leas
es within our Water Solutions segment that require us to pay a royalty, which could be based on a flat rate per barrel disposed or a percentage of revenue
generated. Variable lease payments are excluded from operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities and are expensed as incurred. Operating lease right-of-use assets also include any lease prepayments and exclude lease incentives. For leases acquired as a result of an acquisition, the right-of-use asset also includes adjustments for any favorable or unfavorable market terms present in the lease.
Short-term leases with an initial term of 12 months or less that do not include a purchase option, with the exception of railcar leases, are not recorded on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. Operating lease expense for short-term leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and amounts related to short-term leases are disclosed within our condensed consolidated financial statements.
We have lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, which are generally accounted for separately. For certain leases of buildings and land, we account for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component based on the election of the practical expedient to not separate lease components from non-lease components.
At
December 31, 2019
, we had operating lease right-of-use assets of
$
183.1
million
and current and noncurrent operating lease obligations of
$
57.1
million
and
$
122.8
million
, respectively, on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. At
December 31, 2019
, the weighted-average remaining lease term and weighted-average discount rate for our operating leases was

Lessor Accounting and Subleases
Our lessor arrangements include storage and railcar contracts, of which certain agreements contain renewal options for periods of between
one year
and

. We determine if an agreement contains a lease at the inception of the arrangement. If an arrangement is determined to contain a lease, we classify the lease as operating, sales-type or direct financing. Lessor accounting under ASC 842 is substantially unchanged and all of our leases will continue to be classified as operating leases. We also, from time to time, sublease certain of our storage capacity and railcars to third parties. Fixed rental revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
During the
three months ended

, fixed rental revenue was

NGL ENERGY PARTNERS LP AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
Note 18—
Unaudited Condensed Consolidating Guarantor and Non-Guarantor Financial Information
Certain of our wholly owned subsidiaries have, jointly and severally, fully and unconditionally guaranteed the Senior Unsecured Notes (see
Note 8
). Pursuant to Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X, we have presented in columnar format the unaudited condensed consolidating financial information for NGL Energy Partners LP (Parent), NGL Energy Finance Corp., the guarantor subsidiaries on a combined basis, and the non-guarantor subsidiaries on a combined basis in the tables below. NGL Energy Partners LP and NGL Energy Finance Corp. are co-issuers of the Senior Unsecured Notes. Since NGL Energy Partners LP received the proceeds from the issuance of the Senior Unsecured Notes, this activity has been included in the NGL Energy Partners LP (Parent) column in the tables below.
During the periods presented in the tables below, the status of certain subsidiaries changed, in that they either became guarantors of or ceased to be guarantors of the Senior Unsecured Notes. For purposes of the tables below, when the status of a subsidiary changes, all subsidiary activity is included in either the guarantor subsidiaries column or non-guarantor subsidiaries column based on the status of the subsidiary at the balance sheet date regardless of activity during the year.
There are no significant restrictions that prevent the parent or any of the guarantor subsidiaries from obtaining funds from their respective subsidiaries by dividend or loan. None of the assets of the guarantor subsidiaries (other than the investments in non-guarantor subsidiaries) are restricted net assets pursuant to Rule 4-08(e)(3) of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
For purposes of the tables below, (i) the unaudited condensed consolidating financial information is presented on a legal entity basis, (ii) investments in consolidated subsidiaries are accounted for as equity method investments, and (iii) contributions, distributions, and advances to (from) consolidated entities are reported on a net basis within net changes in advances with consolidated entities in the unaudited condensed consolidating statement of cash flow tables below.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following is a discussion of NGL Energy Partners LP’s (“we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Partnership”) financial condition and results of operations as of and for the three months and
nine months ended
December 31, 2019
. The discussion should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Quarterly Report”), as well as Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Current Report on Form 8-K (“Current Report”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 22, 2019.
Overview
We are
a Delaware limited partnership
.
NGL Energy Holdings LLC serves as our general partner.
At
December 31, 2019
,
our operations included:
•
Our Crude Oil Logistics segment purchases crude oil from producers and marketers and transports it to refineries or for resale at pipeline injection stations, storage terminals, barge loading facilities, rail facilities, refineries, and other trade hubs, and provides storage, terminaling, trucking, marine and pipeline transportation services through its owned assets.
•
Our Water Solutions segment provides services for the treatment and disposal of produced water generated from crude oil and natural gas production and for the disposal of solids such as tank bottoms, drilling fluids and drilling muds and performs truck and frac tank washouts. In addition, our Water Solutions segment sells the recovered hydrocarbons that result from performing these services and sells freshwater to producers for exploration and production activities.
•
Our Liquids segment supplies natural gas liquids to retailers, wholesalers, refiners, and petrochemical plants throughout the United States and in Canada using its leased underground storage and fleet of leased railcars, markets regionally through its
27
owned terminals throughout the United States, and provides terminaling and storage services at its salt dome storage facility joint venture in Utah.
•
Our Refined Products and Renewables segment conducts diesel, ethanol, and biodiesel marketing operations, purchases refined petroleum and renewable products primarily in the Gulf Coast, West Coast and Midwest regions of the United States and schedules them for delivery at various locations throughout the country.
See
Note 1
and
Note 16
to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report for a discussion of the accounting for the sale of a portion of our Refined Products and Renewables segment.
On September 30, 2019, we completed the sale of TransMontaigne Product Services, LLC (“TPSL”) and associated assets to Trajectory Acquisition Company, LLC (“Trajectory”) for total consideration of approximately
$233.8 million
,
including equity consideration, inventory and net working capital
(see
Note 17
to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report).
TPSL made up a portion of our Refined Products and Renewables segment. The divested assets include (i) TPSL Terminaling Services Agreement with TransMontaigne Partners LP, including the exclusive rights to utilize
19
terminals; (ii) line space along Colonial and Plantation Pipelines; (iii)
two
wholly-owned refined products terminals in Georgia that we acquired in January 2019 and multiple third-party throughput agreements; and (iv) all associated customer contracts, inventory and other working capital associated with the assets. In December 2019, the Partnership formalized a plan and received approval to divest of its gas blending business in the southeastern and eastern regions of the United States (“Gas Blending”) and its refined products marketing business in the mid-continent region of the United States (“Mid-Con”). The Partnership had determined that these businesses were no longer core to the Partnership’s strategy. These transactions represent a strategic shift in our operations and will have a significant effect on our operations and financial results going forward. Accordingly, the results of operations and cash flows related to TPSL, Mid-Con and Gas Blending have been classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented, and prior periods have been retrospectively adjusted in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. In addition, the assets and liabilities related to TPSL have been classified as held for sale in our March 31, 2019 unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet and certain assets and liabilities, particularly inventory, derivatives and leases, related to Mid-Con and Gas Blending have been classified as held for sale in our December 31, 2019 and March 31, 2019 unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.
On January 3, 2020, we completed the sale of Mid-Con to a third-party.
See
Note 16
to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report
for a further discussion of these transactions
.
As previously disclosed, on July 10, 2018, we completed the sale of virtually all of our remaining Retail Propane segment to Superior Plus Corp. (“Superior”) for total consideration of
$889.8 million
in cash.
We retained our
50%
ownership
57
Table of Contents
interest in Victory Propane, LLC (“Victory Propane”), which we subsequently sold on August 14, 2018. This transaction represented a strategic shift in our operations and will have a significant effect on our operations and financial results going forward. Accordingly, the results of operations and cash flows related to our former Retail Propane segment (including equity in earnings of Victory Propane) have been classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented and prior periods have been retrospectively adjusted in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.
See
Note 1
and
Note 16
to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report for a further discussion of the transaction.

Items Impacting the Comparability of Our Financial Results
Our current and future results of operations may not be comparable to our historical results of operations for the periods presented due to business combinations, disposals and other transactions. Our results of operations for the three months and
nine months ended
December 31, 2019
are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for future periods or for the full fiscal year ending
March 31, 2020
.
Recent Developments
Acquisitions
As discussed below, we completed numerous acquisitions during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019 and the
nine months ended
December 31, 2019
. These acquisitions impact the comparability of our results of operations between our current and prior fiscal years.
On October 31, 2019, we acquired all of the equity interests of Hillstone Environmental Partners, LLC (“Hillstone”) (including
19
saltwater disposal wells). The assets consist of a fully interconnected produced water pipeline transportation and
58
Table of Contents
disposal system in the state line area of southern Eddy and Lea Counties, New Mexico and northern Loving County, Texas in the Delaware Basin. On July 2, 2019, we acquired all of the assets of Mesquite Disposals Unlimited, LLC (“Mesquite”) (including
34
saltwater disposal wells). The assets consist of a fully interconnected produced water pipeline transportation and disposal system in Eddy and Lea Counties, New Mexico, and Loving County, Texas. Also, during the
nine months ended
December 31, 2019
, in our Water Solutions segment, we acquired the exclusive rights to use certain land for produced and treated water operations from one entity, certain membership interests in another entity and other assets as well as acquiring land and
one
saltwater disposal facility (including
five
saltwater disposal wells). See
Note 4
to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report for a further discussion.
During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019, in our Water Solutions segment, we acquired the remaining 18.375% interest in NGL Water Pipelines, LLC, six saltwater disposal facilities (including 22 saltwater disposal wells), two ranches and four freshwater facilities (including 45 freshwater wells). In our Liquids segment, we acquired the natural gas liquids terminal business of DCP Midstream, LP. In our Refined Products and Renewables segment, we acquired two refined products terminals, which were included in the sale of TPSL on September 30, 2019, the operations of which have been classified as discontinued (see “Dispositions” below).
Disposition of TPSL
On September 30, 2019, we completed the sale of TPSL and associated assets to Trajectory for
$233.8 million
of total consideration and recorded a loss on disposal of
$181.2 million
during the
nine months ended
December 31, 2019
(see
Note 16
and
Note 17
to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report for a further discussion).
Issuance of Class D Preferred Units
On October 31, 2019, the closing date of the Hillstone (as defined herein) acquisition, we completed a private placement of an aggregate of
200,000
Class D Preferred Units (“Class D Preferred Units”) and warrants exercisable to purchase an aggregate of
8,500,000

Information is presented as of
December 31, 2019
and
December 31, 2018
, respectively.
Crude Oil Sales Revenues.
The
decrease
was due primarily to
a decrease in crude oil prices and sales volumes during the
three months ended
December 31, 2019
,
compared to the
three months ended
December 31, 2018
. The volumes decreased due to changes in the method of delivery of production to the market in the Permian region. A significant amount of production switched to long haul pipeline owned or controlled by others.
Crude Oil Transportation and Other Revenues.
The
increase
was partially due to our Grand Mesa Pipeline, which
increased
revenues by
$2.5 million
during the
three months ended
December 31, 2019
, compared to the
three months ended
December 31, 2018
,
primarily due to increased production growth in the DJ Basin.
During the
three months ended
December 31, 2019
, financial volumes
on the Grand Mesa Pipeline averaged approximately
134,000
barrels per day
(volume amounts are from both internal and external parties).
Also, crude transportation increased $1.4 million due to increased barge activity.
Cost of Sales-Excluding Impact of Derivatives.
The
decrease
was due primarily to
a decrease
in crude oil prices during the
three months ended
December 31, 2019
,
compared to the
three months ended
December 31, 2018
.
Cost of Sales-Derivatives.
Our cost of sales during the
three months ended
December 31, 2019

Depreciation and Amortization Expense.
The
decrease
during the
three months ended
December 31, 2019
compared to the
three months ended
December 31, 2018
was due to asset retirements.
Gain on Disposal or Impairment of Assets, Net
. During the
three months ended
December 31, 2019
, we recorded
a net gain
of
$0.2 million
related to the disposal of certain assets. During the
three months ended
December 31, 2018
, we recorded a net gain of $0.1 million related to the disposal of certain assets.

Table of Contents
Produced Water Disposal Service Fee Revenues.
The
increase
was due primarily to
an increase
in the price we are receiving to dispose of a barrel of water and
an increase
in the volume of produced water processed at acquired and newly developed facilities, partially offset by produced water volume reductions as a result of the sale of our Bakken and South Pecos water disposal businesses during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019.
Recovered Hydrocarbon Revenues.
The
decrease
was due primarily to
a decrease
in the percentage of skim oil volumes recovered per produced water barrel processed, lower crude oil prices and lower skim oil volumes as a result of the sale of our Bakken and South Pecos water disposal businesses.
This lower percentage was due primarily to an increase in produced water transported through pipelines (which contains less oil per barrel of produced water), and contract structures that allow producers to keep the skim oil recovered from produced water.
Other Service Revenues.
Other service revenues primarily include solids disposal revenues, water pipeline revenues, land surface use revenues and freshwater revenues.
The
increase
was due primarily to an increase in land surface use revenues and freshwater revenues in our New Mexico operations which began during the
three months ended
September 30, 2018 as well as freshwater revenues due to acquisitions and a new short-term agreement whereby we purchased freshwater and resold to a third party.
These
increase
s were partially offset by
lower water pipeline revenues and volumes due to certain operators recycling rather than disposing of the produced water and lower production activity from certain operators
in addition to
lower solids disposal revenues and volumes due to closure of a facility from April to October due to the working over of the well
.
Cost of Sales-Excluding Impact of Derivatives
.
The
increase
was due primarily to a new short-term agreement whereby we purchased freshwater and resold to a third party as well as operational changes in the Eagle Ford Basin during the
three months ended
September 30, 2019.
Cost of Sales-Derivatives
.
We enter into derivatives in our Water Solutions segment to protect against the risk of a decline in the market price of the hydrocarbons we expect to recover when processing the produced water and selling the skim oil.
Our cost of sales during the
three months ended
December 31, 2019
included
$11.9 million
of
net unrealized losses
on derivatives and
$1.3 million
of
net realized gains
on derivatives.
Our cost of sales during the
three months ended
December 31, 2018
included
$6.1 million
of
net realized gains
on derivatives and
$34.1 million
of
net unrealized gains
on derivatives. In December 2018, we settled derivative contracts that had scheduled settlement dates from January 2019 through December 2020 in order to lock in the gains on those derivatives.
Operating and General and Administrative Expenses
.
The
increase
was due primarily to
the increase in the number of water disposal facilities and wells that we own and operate, both through acquisitions and development of new facilities, partially offset by the sale of our Bakken and South Pecos water disposal businesses during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019
.
Also contributing to the increase were acquisition expenses of $4.0 million related to the Hillstone acquisition during the
three months ended
December 31, 2019
.
During the
three months ended
December 31, 2018
,
we incurred acquisition expenses of $3.5 million related to the purchase of one of our ranch acquisitions.
Depreciation and Amortization Expense
.
The
increase
was due primarily to acquisitions and newly developed facilities, partially offset by
the sale of our Bakken and South Pecos water disposal businesses during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019
.
Gain on Disposal or Impairment of Assets, Net
.
During the
three months ended
December 31, 2019
, we recorded a gain of
$14.5 million
for the sale of certain water permits and
a net loss
of
$4.3 million
on the disposals of certain assets. During the
three months ended
December 31, 2018
, we completed the sale of our Bakken saltwater disposal business and recorded a gain on disposal of
$35.7 million
. In addition, we recorded
a net gain
of
$0.5 million
on the disposals of certain other assets during the three months ended December 31, 2018.
Revaluation of Liabilities.
During the
three months ended
December 31, 2019
,
the revaluation of liabilities represents the change in the valuation of our contingent consideration liability issued by us as part of a business combination. Under the agreement, we were required to make additional payments to the seller based on the volume of produced water processed by the assets acquired.
During the
three months ended
December 31, 2019
,
the thresholds for the volume of produced water processed were surpassed, thus triggering our obligation to pay the seller.
See
Note 4
to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report for a further discussion of the contingent consideration liability.

Refined Products Revenues-Excluding Impact of Derivatives and Cost of Sales-Excluding Impact of Derivatives.
The
decreases
in revenues-excluding impact of derivatives and cost of sales-excluding impact of derivatives were due to
a decrease
in refined product prices.
The
decrease
in prices was due primarily to supply and demand for refined fuels at our wholesale locations.
During the

from our risk management activities due primarily to unrealized losses on our open forward physical positions and increases in NYMEX futures prices on our short future positions.
Our margin during the
three months ended
December 31, 2018
included
a gain
of
$3.4 million
from our risk management activities due primarily to decreases in NYMEX futures prices on our short future positions.
Renewables Revenues-Excluding Impact of Derivatives and Cost of Sales-Excluding Impact of Derivatives.
The
increases
in revenues-excluding impact of derivatives and cost of sales-excluding impact of derivatives were due primarily to
an increase
in renewables prices and
increased
volumes.
The
increase
in prices was due primarily to more sales of ethanol renewable identification numbers during the
three months ended
December 31, 2019
,
compared to more sales of biodiesel and ethanol during the
three months ended
December 31, 2018
.
In addition, the margin for the
three months ended
December 31, 2019
included the impact of the biodiesel tax credit being reinstated in December 2019 for calendar years 2018 and 2019. The total amount of the biodiesel tax credit we recorded as a credit to costs of sales in continuing operations was $13.8 million. The biodiesel tax credit that was reinstated in December 2019 is effective from January 1, 2018 to December 31, 2022.

Service Fees and Other Revenues.
The
increase
was due primarily to increased ancillary charges billed to our sublessee for returned railcars.
Operating and General and Administrative Expenses.
The
decrease
was due primarily to lower corporate overhead allocations due to the sale of TPSL on September 30, 2019, partially offset by higher incentive compensation.
Depreciation and Amortization Expense.
The
decrease
was due primarily to certain assets being fully depreciated during the year ended March 31, 2019.

General and Administrative Expenses.
The increase during the
three months ended
December 31, 2019
was due primarily to an increase in acquisition expense. During the
three months ended
December 31, 2019
, acquisition expense was $7.5 million, of which approximately $7.3 million were incurred in connection with our acquisition of Hillstone, compared to $1.7 million during the
three months ended
December 31, 2018
. In addition, during the
three months ended
December 31, 2019
, compensation expense was $8.4 million, compared to $6.4 million during the
three months ended
December 31, 2018
. The increase was primarily due to an increase in group health insurance costs of approximately $2.2 million. These increases
66
Table of Contents
were partially offset by a decrease in expense of approximately $3.1 million related to the cancellation of our performance awards during the year ended
March 31, 2019
.
Equity in Earnings of Unconsolidated Entities
The
decrease
of
$1.2 million
during the
three months ended
December 31, 2019
was due primarily to lower earnings from our 50% interest in a water services company that we acquired in August 2018, the sale of our investment in a water treatment and disposal facility on February 28, 2019 and a loss from our 50% interest in an aircraft company during the
three months ended
December 31, 2019
, partially offset by the acquisition of certain membership interests in November 2019 related to specific land and water services operations.
Interest Expense
Interest expense includes interest charged on the Revolving Credit Facility (as defined herein), senior unsecured notes and the Term Credit Agreement (as defined herein), as well as amortization of debt issuance costs, letter of credit fees, interest on equipment financing notes, and accretion of interest on non-interest bearing debt obligations. The
increase
of
$7.8 million
during the
three months ended
December 31, 2019
was primarily due to the issuance of our 2026 Notes (as defined herein), our entering in the Term Credit Agreement, in connection with the Mesquite acquisition, and higher average outstanding balances on our Revolving Credit Facility. These increases were offset by the redemption of our senior unsecured notes that were scheduled to mature in 2019 and 2021 during our prior fiscal year.
Loss on Early Extinguishment of Liabilities, Net
During the
three months ended
December 31, 2018
, the net loss (inclusive of debt issuance costs written off) relates to the early extinguishment of a portion of the outstanding senior unsecured notes and the redemption of the remaining outstanding 6.875% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2021 (“2021 Notes”).

Information is presented as of
December 31, 2019
and
December 31, 2018
, respectively.
Crude Oil Sales Revenues.
The
decrease
was due primarily to
a decrease
in crude oil prices and sales volumes during the
nine months ended
December 31, 2019
,
compared to the
nine months ended
December 31, 2018
. The volumes decreased due to changes in the method of delivery of production to the market in the Permian region. A significant amount of production switched to long haul pipeline owned or controlled by others.
Crude Oil Transportation and Other Revenues.
The
increase
was partially due to our Grand Mesa Pipeline, which
increased
revenues by
$8.3 million
during the
nine months ended
December 31, 2019
, compared to the
nine months ended
December 31, 2018
, primarily due to increased production growth in the DJ Basin.
During the
nine months ended
December 31, 2019
,
34.9 million
barrels of crude were transported
on the Grand Mesa Pipeline averaged approximately
131,000
financial
barrels per day
(volume amounts are from both internal and external parties).
In addition, during the
nine months ended
December 31, 2019
, a new crude marketing contract increased revenues by $7.2 million. Also, crude transportation increased $2.1 million due to increased barge activity.
Cost of Sales-Excluding Impact of Derivatives.
The
decrease
was due primarily to
a decrease
in crude oil prices during the
nine months ended
December 31, 2019
,
compared to the
nine months ended
December 31, 2018
.
Cost of Sales-Derivatives.
Our cost of sales during the
nine months ended
December 31, 2019
included
$1.8 million
of
net realized gains
on derivatives and
$0.1 million
of
net unrealized losses
on derivatives.
Our cost of sales during the
nine
68
Table of Contents
months ended
December 31, 2018
included
$3.3 million
of
net realized gains
on derivatives and
$11.9 million
of
net unrealized gains
on derivatives.
Operating and General and Administrative Expenses
.
The increase was due primarily to higher utility costs related to the higher volumes on Grand Mesa.
Depreciation and Amortization Expense.
The
decrease
was due to the retirement of certain assets and other assets being fully depreciated or amortized during the
nine months ended
December 31, 2018
.
(Gain) Loss on Disposal or Impairment of Assets, Net
. During the
nine months ended
December 31, 2019
, we recorded
a net gain
of
$1.4 million
related to the disposal of certain assets. During the
nine months ended
December 31, 2018
we recorded a net loss of $105.2 million, which included the loss of $105.0 million on our transaction with a third party in which they agreed to be fully responsible for our future minimum volume commitment in exchange for
$67.7 million
of deficiency credits on a contract with a crude oil pipeline operator and
$35.3 million
in cash. The loss also includes
$2.0 million
of additional costs related to this transaction. In addition, we recorded a loss of $1.3 million primarily related to the sale of two terminals.

December 31, 2019
and
2018
were
330,589,724
and
268,276,373
, respectively.
Produced Water Disposal Service Fee Revenues.
The
increase
was due primarily to
an increase
in the price we are receiving to dispose of a barrel of water and
an increase
in the volume of produced water processed at acquired and newly developed facilities, partially offset by produced water volume reductions as a result of the sale of our Bakken and South Pecos water disposal businesses during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019.
Recovered Hydrocarbon Revenues.
The
decrease
was due primarily to
a decrease
in the percentage of skim oil volumes recovered per produced water barrel processed, lower crude oil prices and lower skim oil volumes as a result of the sale of our Bakken and South Pecos water disposal businesses.
This lower percentage was due primarily to an increase in produced water transported through pipelines (which contains less oil per barrel of produced water), and contract structures that allow producers to keep the skim oil recovered from produced water.
Other Service Revenues.
The
increase
was due primarily to an increase in land surface use revenues and freshwater revenues in our New Mexico operations which began during the
three months ended
September 30, 2018 as well as freshwater revenues due to acquisitions and a new short-term agreement whereby we purchased freshwater and resold to a third party.
These
increase
s were partially offset by
lower water pipeline revenues and volumes due to certain operators recycling rather than disposing of the produced water and lower production activity from certain operators
in addition to
lower solids disposal revenues and volumes due to closure of a facility from April to October due to the working over of the well
and reduced operations at another facility.
Cost of Sales-Excluding Impact of Derivatives
.
The
increase
was due primarily to a new short-term agreement whereby we purchased freshwater and resold to a third party as well as operational changes in the Eagle Ford Basin during the
three months ended
September 30, 2019.
Cost of Sales-Derivatives
.
We enter into derivatives in our Water Solutions segment to protect against the risk of a decline in the market price of the hydrocarbons we expect to recover when processing the produced water and selling the skim oil.
Our cost of sales during the
nine months ended
December 31, 2019
included
$5.9 million
of
net unrealized losses
on derivatives and
$5.9 million
of
net realized gains
on derivatives. In June 2019, we settled derivative contracts that had scheduled settlement dates from April through December 2020 and recorded a gain of $1.9 million on those derivatives.
Our cost of sales during the
nine months ended
December 31, 2018
included
$3.8 million
of
net realized losses
on derivatives and
$23.2 million
of
net unrealized gains
on derivatives. In December 2018, we settled derivative contracts that had scheduled settlement dates from January 2019 through December 2020 in order to lock in the gains on those derivatives.
Operating and General and Administrative Expenses
.
The
increase
was due primarily to
the increase in the number of water disposal facilities and wells that we own and operate, both through acquisitions and development of new facilities, partially offset by the sale of our Bakken and South Pecos water disposal businesses during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019
.
Also contributing to the increase were acquisition expenses of $4.0 million related to the Hillstone acquisition during the
nine months ended
December 31, 2019
.
During the
nine months ended
December 31, 2018
,
we incurred acquisition expenses of $3.5 million related to the purchase of one of our ranch acquisitions.
Depreciation and Amortization Expense
.
The
increase
was due primarily to acquisitions and newly developed facilities, partially offset by
the sale of our Bakken and South Pecos water disposal businesses during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019
.
Gain on Disposal or Impairment of Assets, Net
. During the
nine months ended
December 31, 2019
, we recorded a gain of
$14.5 million
for the sale of certain water permits and a gain of
$1.0 million
for cash received related to a previous loan receivable. In addition, during the
nine months ended
December 31, 2019
, we recorded
a net loss
of
$8.1 million
on the disposals of certain assets. During the
nine months ended
December 31, 2018
, we completed the sale of our Bakken saltwater disposal business and recorded a gain on disposal of
$35.7 million
. In addition, we recorded
a net loss
of
$2.7 million
on the disposals of certain other assets during the nine months ended December 31, 2018.
Revaluation of Liabilities.
During the
nine months ended
December 31, 2019
,
the revaluation of liabilities represents the change in the valuation of our contingent consideration liability issued by us as part of a business combination. Under the agreement, we were required to make additional payments to the seller based on the volume of produced water processed by the
70
Table of Contents
assets acquired.
During the
nine months ended
December 31, 2019
,
the thresholds for the volume of produced water processed were surpassed, thus triggering our obligation to pay the seller.
See
Note 4
to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report for a further discussion of the contingent consideration liability.
During the
nine months ended
December 31, 2018
, the revaluation of liabilities represents the change in the valuation of our contingent consideration liabilities related to royalty agreements acquired as part of certain business combinations, which expense was due primarily to higher actual and expected production from new customers, resulting in an increase to the expected future royalty payment.

Refined Products Revenues-Excluding Impact of Derivatives and Cost of Sales-Excluding Impact of Derivatives.
The
decreases
in revenues-excluding impact of derivatives and cost of sales-excluding impact of derivatives were due to
a decrease
in refined products prices, partially offset by
increased
volumes.
The
decrease
in prices was due primarily to supply and
74
Table of Contents
demand for refined fuels at our wholesale locations.
The
increased
volumes were due primarily to the continued demand for motor fuels.

Derivative Loss (Gain)
.
Our margin during the
nine months ended
December 31, 2019
included
a loss
of
$0.4 million
from our risk management activities due primarily to unrealized losses on our open forward physical positions and increases in NYMEX futures prices on our short future positions.
Our margin during the
nine months ended
December 31, 2018
included
a gain
of
$0.9 million
from our risk management activities due primarily to decreases in NYMEX futures prices on our short future positions.
Renewables Revenues-Excluding Impact of Derivatives and Cost of Sales-Excluding Impact of Derivatives.
The
increases
in revenues-excluding impact of derivatives and cost of sales-excluding impact of derivatives were due primarily to
an increase
in renewables prices, partially offset by
decreased
volumes.
The
increase
in prices was due primarily to more sales of ethanol renewable identification numbers during the
nine months ended
December 31, 2019
, compared to the
nine months ended
December 31, 2018
.
In addition, the margin for the
nine months ended
December 31, 2019
included the impact of the biodiesel tax credit being reinstated in December 2019 for calendar years 2018 and 2019. The total amount of the biodiesel tax credit we recorded as a credit to costs of sales in continuing operations was $13.8 million. The biodiesel tax credit that was reinstated in December 2019 is effective from January 1, 2018 to December 31, 2022.

Our margin during the
nine months ended
December 31, 2018
included
a gain
of
$2.5 million
from our risk management activities due primarily to NYMEX futures prices decreasing on our short future positions and unrealized gains on our open forward positions.
Service Fees and Other Revenues.
The
increase
was due primarily to increased ancillary charges billed to our sublessee for returned railcars.
Operating and General and Administrative Expenses.

increase
was due primarily to lower environmental expense during the
nine months ended
December 31, 2018
as a result of an insurance recovery we received related to a historical environmental indemnification agreement and higher incentive compensation during the
nine months ended
December 31, 2019
, partially offset by lower corporate overhead allocations due to the sale of TPSL on September 30, 2019.
Depreciation and Amortization Expense.

General and Administrative Expenses
. The increase during the
nine months ended
December 31, 2019
was due primarily to higher acquisition expense. During the
nine months ended
December 31, 2019
, acquisition expense was $14.6 million, compared to $5.7 million during the
nine months ended
December 31, 2018
. The increase is primarily due to expenses incurred in connection with our acquisitions of both Mesquite ($5.9 million) and Hillstone ($8.1 million). In addition, during the
nine months ended
December 31, 2019
, compensation expense was $26.9 million, compared to $22.9 million during the
nine months ended
December 31, 2018
. The increase was primarily due to an increase in group health insurance costs of approximately $3.1 million. These increases are partially offset by a decrease in expense of approximately $5.0 million related to the cancellation of our performance awards during the year ended March 31, 2019.
Equity in Earnings of Unconsolidated Entities
The
decrease
of
$2.1 million
during the
nine months ended
December 31, 2019
was due primarily to lower earnings from our 50% interest in a water services company that we acquired in August 2018, a loss from our 50% interest in an aircraft company during the
nine months ended
December 31, 2019
and the sale of our investment in E Energy Adams, LLC on May 3, 2018, partially offset by the acquisition of certain membership interests in November 2019 related to specific land and water services operations.
Interest Expense
The
increase
of
$5.0 million
during the
nine months ended
December 31, 2019
was due to our entering into the Term Credit Agreement (as defined herein) in connection with the Mesquite acquisition, the issuance of our 2026 Notes (as defined herein) and higher average outstanding balances on our Revolving Credit Facility. These increases were offset by the redemption of our senior unsecured noes that were scheduled to mature in 2019 and 2021 during our prior fiscal year.
Loss on Early Extinguishment of Liabilities, Net
During the
nine months ended
December 31, 2018
, the net loss (inclusive of debt issuance costs written off) relates to the early extinguishment of a portion of the outstanding senior unsecured notes and the redemption of the remaining outstanding 2021 Notes.

Noncontrolling Interests - Redeemable and Non-redeemable
The
decrease
in the noncontrolling interest loss
of
$1.1 million
during the
nine months ended
December 31, 2019
was due primarily to a loss from operations of Atlantic Propane, LLC in the prior year quarter that we sold in July 2018, a loss from operations of the Sawtooth joint venture and a loss from operations of Mesquite that we acquired in July 2019.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to financial results reported in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), we have provided the non-GAAP financial measures of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. These non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to be a substitute for those reported in accordance with GAAP. These measures may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other entities, even when similar terms are used to identify such measures.
We define
EBITDA as net income (loss) attributable to NGL Energy Partners LP, plus interest expense, income tax expense (benefit), and depreciation and amortization expense.
We define
Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA excluding net unrealized gains and losses on derivatives, lower of cost or market adjustments, gains and losses on disposal or impairment of assets, gains and losses on early extinguishment of liabilities, equity-based compensation expense, acquisition expense, revaluation of liabilities, certain legal settlements and other.
We also include
in Adjusted EBITDA certain inventory valuation adjustments related to
our
Refined Products and Renewables segment, as discussed below.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as alternatives to
net income (loss)
,
income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes
,
cash flows from operating activities, or any other measure of financial performance calculated in accordance with GAAP, as those items are used to measure operating performance, liquidity or the ability to service debt obligations.
We believe
that EBITDA provides additional information to investors for evaluating
our
ability to make quarterly distributions to
our
unitholders and is presented solely as a supplemental measure.
We believe
that Adjusted EBITDA provides additional information to investors for evaluating
our
financial performance without regard to
our
financing methods, capital structure and historical cost basis.
Further, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, as
we define
them, may not be comparable to EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, or similarly titled measures used by other entities.
Other than for
our
Refined Products and Renewables segment, for purposes of
our
Adjusted EBITDA calculation,
we make
a distinction between realized and unrealized gains and losses on derivatives.
During the period when a derivative contract is open,
we record
changes in the fair value of the derivative as an unrealized gain or loss.
When a derivative contract matures or is settled,
we reverse
the previously recorded unrealized gain or loss and record a realized gain or loss.
We do
not draw such a distinction between realized and unrealized gains and losses on derivatives of
our
Refined Products and
77
Table of Contents
Renewables segment.
The primary hedging strategy of
our
Refined Products and Renewables segment is to hedge against the risk of declines in the value of inventory over the course of the contract cycle, and many of the hedges are six months to one year in duration at inception.
The “inventory valuation adjustment” row in the reconciliation table
reflects the difference between the market value of the inventory of
our
Refined Products and Renewables segment at the balance sheet date and its cost, adjusted for the impact of seasonal market movements related to our base inventory and the related hedge.
We include
this in Adjusted EBITDA because the unrealized gains and losses associated with derivative contracts associated with the inventory of this segment, which are intended primarily to hedge inventory holding risk and are included in net income, also affect Adjusted EBITDA.

Table of Contents
Liquidity, Sources of Capital and Capital Resource Activities
Our principal sources of liquidity and capital are the cash flows from our operations, borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility and accessing capital markets. See
Note 8
to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report for a detailed description of our long-term debt. Our cash flows from operations are discussed below.
Our borrowing needs vary during the year due in part to the seasonal nature of our Liquids businesses. Our greatest working capital borrowing needs generally occur during the period of June through December, when we are building our natural gas liquids inventories in anticipation of the heating season. Our working capital borrowing needs generally decline during the period of January through March, when the cash flows from our Liquids segment are the greatest.
Our partnership agreement requires that, within 45 days after the end of each quarter, we distribute all of our available cash (as defined in our partnership agreement) to unitholders as of the record date. Available cash for any quarter generally consists of all cash on hand at the end of that quarter, less the amount of cash reserves established by our general partner, to (i) provide for the proper conduct of our business, (ii) comply with applicable law, any of our debt instruments or other agreements, and (iii) provide funds for distributions to our unitholders and to our general partner for any one or more of the next four quarters.
We believe that our anticipated cash flows from operations and the borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility are sufficient to meet our liquidity needs. If our plans or assumptions change or are inaccurate, or if we make acquisitions, we may need to raise additional capital or sell assets. Our ability to raise additional capital, if necessary, depends on various factors and conditions, including market conditions. We cannot give any assurances that we can raise additional capital to meet these needs. Commitments or expenditures, if any, we may make toward any acquisition projects are at our discretion.
We believe our Water Solutions and Crude Oil Logistics businesses have organic growth opportunities with the activity in our core basins, including the Delaware Basin and DJ Basin in particular. We plan to pursue a strategy of growth through acquisitions as well as undertaking certain capital expansion projects. We expect to consider financing future acquisitions and capital expansion projects through available capacity on the Revolving Credit Facility or other forms of financing.
Other sources of liquidity during the
three months ended
December 31, 2019
are discussed below.
Issuance of Class D Preferred Units
On October 31, 2019, the closing date of the Hillstone (as defined herein) acquisition, we completed a private placement of an aggregate of
200,000
Class D Preferred Units and warrants exercisable to purchase an aggregate of
8,500,000
common units for an aggregate purchase price of
$200.0 million
. Proceeds from this issuance of Class D Preferred Units were used to fund a portion of the purchase price for the acquisition of Hillstone (see
Note 4
and
Note 10
to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report for a further discussion).
Subsequent Events
See
Note 17
to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report for a discussion of transactions that occurred subsequent to
December 31, 2019
.
Long-Term Debt
Credit Agreement
During the quarter, we utilized a portion of the accordion feature under our credit agreement (“Credit Agreement”) whereby two new lenders and one existing lender committed to provide an additional
$150.0 million
of commitments in total. The Credit Agreement provides up to
$1.915 billion
in aggregate commitments and consists of a revolving credit facility to fund working capital needs, which had a capacity of
$641.5 million
for cash borrowings and letters of credit (the “Working Capital Facility”), and a revolving credit facility to fund acquisitions and expansion projects, which had a capacity of
$1.273 billion
(the “Expansion Capital Facility,” and together with the Working Capital Facility, the “Revolving Credit Facility”) at
December 31, 2019.
We had letters of credit of
$117.2 million
on the Working Capital Facility at
December 31, 2019
.
The
84
Table of Contents
capacity under the Working Capital Facility may be limited by a “borrowing base” (as defined in the Credit Agreement) which is calculated based on the value of certain working capital items at any point in time.
On October 30, 2019, we amended the Credit Agreement to, among other things, adjust the allocation of the commitments of the lenders to make revolving loans thereunder and, effective with the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2019, amend the covenant package to include the senior secured leverage ratio, interest coverage ratio and total leverage indebtedness ratio financial covenants (each as defined in the Credit Agreement).
We were in compliance with the covenants under the Credit Agreement
at
December 31, 2019
.
Senior Unsecured Notes
The senior unsecured notes include the 2023 Notes, 2025 Notes and 2026 Notes (collectively, the “Senior Unsecured Notes”).
On April 9, 2019, we issued
$450.0 million
of the
7.50%
Senior Unsecured Notes Due 2026 (the “2026 Notes”) in a private placement. Interest is payable on April 15 and October 15 of each year, beginning on October 15, 2019. We received net proceeds of
$442.1 million
, after the initial purchasers’ discount of
$6.8 million
and offering costs of
$1.1 million
. The 2026 Notes mature on April 15, 2026. We filed a registration statement for the 2026 Notes with the SEC which became effective on January 22, 2020. Our exchange offer launched on January 23, 2020 and is set to expire on February 21, 2020, unless we decide to extend it.
At
December 31, 2019
,
we were in compliance with the covenants under the indentures for all of the Senior Unsecured Notes
.
Term Credit Agreement
On July 2, 2019, we entered into the Term Credit Agreement with Toronto Dominion (Texas) LLC for a
$250.0 million
term loan facility. Toronto Dominion (Texas) LLC and certain of its affiliates are also lenders under our Credit Agreement. The commitments under the Term Credit Agreement expire on July 2, 2024.
On October 30, 2019, we amended the Term Credit Agreement, to, among other things, conform financial covenants in the Term Credit Agreement to the financial covenants set forth in the amended Credit Agreement, as described above.
Sawtooth Credit Agreement
On November 27, 2019, Sawtooth Caverns LLC (“Sawtooth”), a joint venture in which we own a 71.48% interest, entered into a credit agreement with Zions Bancorporation (doing business as “Amergy Bank”). The Sawtooth credit agreement has a capacity of
$20.0 million
.
The commitments under the Sawtooth credit agreement expire on November 27, 2022.
For a further discussion of the Revolving Credit Facility, Senior Unsecured Notes, Term Credit Agreement and the Sawtooth credit agreement, see
Note 8
to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report.

Operating Activities-Continuing Operations.
The seasonality of our Liquids business has a significant effect on our cash flows from operating activities. Increases in natural gas liquids prices typically reduce our operating cash flows due to higher cash requirements to fund increases in inventories, and decreases in natural gas liquids prices typically increase our operating cash flows due to lower cash requirements to fund increases in inventories. In our Liquids business, we typically
86
Table of Contents
experience operating losses or lower operating income during our first and second quarters, or the six months ending September 30, as a result of lower volumes of natural gas liquids sales and when we are building our inventory levels for the upcoming heating season. The heating season runs through the six months ending March 31. We borrow under the Revolving Credit Facility to supplement our operating cash flows during the periods in which we are building inventory. Our operations, and as a result our cash flows, are also impacted by positive and negative movements in commodity prices, which cause fluctuations in the value of inventory, accounts receivable and payables, due to increases and decreases in revenues and cost of sales. The
increase
in net cash provided by operating activities during the
nine months ended
December 31, 2019
was due primarily to fluctuations in the value of accounts receivable during the
nine months ended
December 31, 2019
.
Investing Activities-Continuing Operations
. Net cash used in investing activities was
$1.7 billion
during the
nine months ended
December 31, 2019
, compared to net cash used in investing activities of
$378.2 million
during the
nine months ended
December 31, 2018
. The
increase
in net cash used in investing activities was due primarily to:
•
a
$1.1 billion
increase
in cash paid for acquisitions and investments in unconsolidated entities during the
nine months ended
December 31, 2019
;
•
an increase
in capital expenditures from
$304.0 million
during the
nine months ended
December 31, 2018
to
$427.3 million
during the
nine months ended
December 31, 2019
due primarily to expansion projects in our Water Solutions segment; and
•
$103.6 million
in proceeds from the sale of our Bakken saltwater disposal business and our previously held 20% interest in E Energy Adams, LLC during the nine months ended December 31, 2018.
Financing Activities-Continuing Operations
. Net cash provided by financing activities was
$1.1 billion
during the
nine months ended
December 31, 2019
, compared to net cash used in financing activities of
$672.9 million
during the
nine months ended
December 31, 2018
. The
increase
in net cash provided by financing activities was due primarily to:
•
$623.0 million
in net proceeds from the issuance of the 9.625% Class C Fixed-to-Floating Rate Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Units (“Class C Preferred Units”) and Class D Preferred Units during the
nine months ended
December 31, 2019
;
•
$450.0 million
in proceeds from the issuance of the 2026 Notes during the
nine months ended
December 31, 2019
;
•
repurchases of
$395.5 million
of our senior unsecured notes during the
nine months ended
December 31, 2018
;
•
an increase
of
$301.5 million
in borrowings on the Revolving Credit Facility (net of repayments) during the
nine months ended
December 31, 2019
; and
•
$250.0 million
in proceeds from the Term Loan Agreement during the
nine months ended
December 31, 2019
.
These
increases
in net cash provided by financing activities were partially offset by
$265.1 million
in payments for the redemption of the 10.75% Class A Convertible Preferred Units during the
nine months ended
December 31, 2019
.
Distributions Declared
Our partnership agreement requires that, within 45 days after the end of each quarter, we distribute all of our available cash (as defined in our partnership agreement) to unitholders as of the record date. See further discussion of our cash distribution policy in Item 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Unitholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities included in our Annual Report.
On
December 16, 2019
, the board of directors of our general partner declared a distribution on the 9.00% Class B Fixed-to Floating Rate Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Units (“Class B Preferred Units”) and Class C Preferred Units for the
three months ended
December 31, 2019
of
$7.1 million
and
$1.1 million
, respectively. The distributions were paid to the holders of the Class B Preferred Units and Class C Preferred Units on
January 15, 2020
.

The estimated interest payments on the Revolving Credit Facility are based on principal and letters of credit outstanding at

. See Note 8 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report for additional information on the Credit Agreement.
(2)
We have noncancelable agreements with crude oil pipeline operators, which guarantee us minimum monthly shipping capacity on the pipelines. As a result, we are required to pay the minimum shipping fees if actual shipments are less than our allotted capacity. Under certain agreements we have the ability to recover minimum shipping fees previously paid if our shipping volumes exceed the minimum monthly shipping commitment during each month remaining under the agreement, with some contracts containing provisions that allow us to continue shipping up to
six months
after the maturity date of the contract in order to recapture previously paid minimum shipping delinquency fees. We have extended these agreements and have an additional
5.5 years
to recapture the minimum shipping deficiency fees. We also have noncancelable agreements for product storage, railcar spurs and real estate. See Note 9 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report for additional information.

At

, the construction commitments relate to two new barges currently being built.

Index prices are based on a forward price curve at
December 31, 2019
. A theoretical change of $0.10 per gallon of natural gas liquids in the underlying commodity price at
December 31, 2019
would result in a change of
$42.6 million
in the value of our index-price natural gas liquids purchase commitments. A theoretical change of $1.00 per barrel of crude oil in the underlying commodity price at
December 31, 2019
would result in a change of
$40.2 million
in the value of our index-price crude oil purchase commitments. See Note 9 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report for further detail of the commitments.
88
Table of Contents
(5)
Our crude oil index-price purchase commitments exceed our crude oil index-price sales commitments (see Note 9 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report) due primarily to our long-term purchase commitments for crude oil that we purchase and ship on the Grand Mesa Pipeline. As these purchase commitments are deliver-or-pay contracts, whereby our counterparty is required to pay us for any volumes not delivered, we have not entered into corresponding long-term sales contracts for volumes we may not receive.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off balance sheet arrangements other than the letters of credit discussed in
Note 8
to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report and short-term leases discussed in
Note 15
to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report.
Environmental Legislation
See our Annual Report for a discussion of proposed environmental legislation and regulations that, if enacted, could result in increased compliance and operating costs. However, at this time we cannot predict the structure or outcome of any future legislation or regulations or the eventual cost we could incur in compliance.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
For a discussion of recent accounting pronouncements that are applicable to us, see
Note 2
to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with GAAP requires the selection and application of appropriate accounting principles to the relevant facts and circumstances of our operations and the use of estimates made by management. We have identified certain accounting policies that are most important to the portrayal of our consolidated financial position and results of operations. The application of these accounting policies, which requires subjective or complex judgments regarding estimates and projected outcomes of future events, and changes in these accounting policies, could have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements. There have been no material changes in the critical accounting policies previously disclosed in our Annual Report.

Item 3.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Interest Rate Risk
A significant portion of our long-term debt is variable-rate debt. Changes in interest rates impact the interest payments of our variable-rate debt but generally do not impact the fair value of the liability. Conversely, changes in interest rates impact the fair value of our fixed-rate debt but do not impact its cash flows.
The Revolving Credit Facility is variable-rate debt with interest rates that are generally indexed to bank prime or LIBOR interest rates.
At
December 31, 2019
,
we had
$1.4 billion
of outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility at a weighted average interest rate of
4.07%
. A change in interest rates of
0.125%
would result in an increase or decrease of our annual interest expense of
$1.7 million
, based on borrowings outstanding at
December 31, 2019
.
The Term Credit Agreement is variable-rate debt with interest rates that are generally indexed to bank prime or LIBOR interest rates.
At
December 31, 2019
,
we had
$250.0 million
of outstanding borrowings under the Term Credit Agreement at an interest rate of
4.74%
. A change in interest rates of
0.125%
would result in an increase or decrease of our annual interest expense of
$0.3 million
, based on borrowings outstanding at
December 31, 2019
.
Commodity Price and Credit Risk
Our operations are subject to certain business risks, including commodity price risk and credit risk.
Commodity price risk is the risk that the market value of crude oil, natural gas liquids, or refined and renewables products will change, either favorably or unfavorably, in response to changing market conditions.
Credit risk is the risk of loss from nonperformance by suppliers, customers or financial counterparties to a contract.
Procedures and limits for managing commodity price risks and credit risks are specified in our market risk policy and credit policy, respectively.
Open commodity positions and market price changes are monitored daily and are reported to senior management and to marketing operations personnel.
Credit risk is monitored daily and exposure is minimized through customer deposits, restrictions on product liftings, letters of credit, and entering into master netting agreements that allow for offsetting counterparty receivable and payable balances for certain transactions.
At
December 31, 2019
,
our primary counterparties were retailers, resellers, energy marketers, producers, refiners, and dealers.
The crude oil, natural gas liquids, and refined and renewables products industries are “margin-based” and “cost-plus” businesses in which gross profits depend on the differential of sales prices over supply costs. We have no control over market conditions. As a result, our profitability may be impacted by sudden and significant changes in the price of crude oil, natural gas liquids, and refined and renewables products.
We engage in various types of forward contracts and financial derivative transactions to reduce the effect of price volatility on our product costs, to protect the value of our inventory positions, and to help ensure the availability of product during periods of short supply. We attempt to balance our contractual portfolio by purchasing volumes when we have a matching purchase commitment from our wholesale and retail customers. We may experience net unbalanced positions from time to time. In addition to our ongoing policy to maintain a balanced position, for accounting purposes we are required, on an ongoing basis, to track and report the market value of our derivative portfolio.
Although we use financial derivative instruments to reduce the market price risk associated with forecasted transactions, we do not account for financial derivative transactions as hedges.
All changes in the fair value of our physical contracts that do not qualify as normal purchases and normal sales and settlements (whether cash transactions or non-cash mark-to-market adjustments) are reported either within revenue (for sales contracts) or cost of sales (for purchase contracts) in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations, regardless of whether the contract is physically or financially settled.

Fair Value
We use observable market values for determining the fair value of our derivative instruments. In cases where actively quoted prices are not available, other external sources are used which incorporate information about commodity prices in actively quoted markets, quoted prices in less active markets and other market fundamental analysis.
Item 4.
Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13(a)-15(e) and 15(d)-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our filings and submissions under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer of our general partner, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
We completed an evaluation under the supervision and with participation of our management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer of our general partner, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures at
December 31, 2019
. Based on this evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer of our general partner have concluded that as of
December 31, 2019
, such disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide the reasonable assurance described above.
Other than changes that have resulted or may result from our business combinations during the nine months ended December 31, 2019, as discussed below, there have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13(a)-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the
three months ended
December 31, 2019
that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
We closed several business combinations during the nine months ended December 31, 2019, as described in Note 4 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report. At this time, we continue to evaluate the business and internal controls and processes of these acquired businesses and are making various changes to their operating and organizational structure based on our business plan. We are in the process of implementing our internal control structure over these acquired businesses. We expect that our evaluation and integration efforts related to those combined operations will continue into future fiscal quarters.
