NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.	Organization, Description of Business and Basis of Presentation

Organization

Unless indicated otherwise, the terms “our,” “we,” “us” and similar language refer to Magellan Midstream Partners, L.P. together with its subsidiaries. We are a Delaware limited partnership and our limited partner units are traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol “MMP.” Magellan GP, LLC, a wholly-owned Delaware limited liability company, serves as our general partner.

Description of Business

We are principally engaged in the transportation, storage and distribution of refined petroleum products and crude oil. As of June 30, 2014, our asset portfolio including the assets of our joint ventures consisted of:


•	our refined products segment, including our 9,500-mile refined products pipeline system with 54 terminals as well as 27 independent terminals not connected to our pipeline system and our 1,100-mile ammonia pipeline system;


•	our crude oil segment, comprised of approximately 1,100 miles of active crude oil pipelines and storage facilities with an aggregate storage capacity of approximately 18 million barrels, of which 12 million barrels is used for leased storage; and


•	our marine storage segment, consisting of five marine terminals located along coastal waterways with an aggregate storage capacity of approximately 27 million barrels.

Products transported, stored and distributed through our pipelines and terminals include:


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


•	liquefied petroleum gases, or LPGs, which are produced as by-products of the crude oil refining process and in connection with natural gas production. LPGs include butane and propane;


•	blendstocks, which are blended with refined products to change or enhance their characteristics such as increasing a gasoline's octane or oxygen content. Blendstocks include alkylates, oxygenates and natural gasoline;


•	heavy oils and feedstocks, which are used as burner fuels or feedstocks for further processing by refineries and petrochemical facilities. Heavy oils and feedstocks include No. 6 fuel oil and vacuum gas oil;


•	crude oil and condensate, which are used as feedstocks by refineries and petrochemical facilities;


•	biofuels, such as ethanol and biodiesel, which are increasingly required by government mandates; and


•	ammonia, which is primarily used as a nitrogen fertilizer.

Except for ammonia, we use the term petroleum products to describe any, or a combination, of the above-noted products.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

Basis of Presentation

In the opinion of management, our accompanying consolidated financial statements which are unaudited, except for the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2013 which is derived from our audited financial statements, include all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly our financial position as of June 30, 2014, the results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2014 and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2014. The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2014.

Pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the financial statements in this report do not include all of the information and notes normally included with financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.


2.	Product Sales Revenue

The amounts reported as product sales revenue on our consolidated statements of income include revenue from the physical sale of petroleum products and from mark-to-market adjustments from New York Mercantile Exchange ("NYMEX") contracts. We use NYMEX contracts to hedge against changes in the price of refined products we expect to sell from our business activities in which we acquire or produce petroleum products. Some of these NYMEX contracts qualify for hedge accounting treatment, and we designate and account for these as either cash flow or fair value hedges. The effective portion of the fair value changes in contracts designated as cash flow hedges are recognized as adjustments to product sales when the hedged product is physically sold. Ineffectiveness in the contracts designated as cash flow hedges is recognized as an adjustment to product sales in the period the ineffectiveness occurs. We account for NYMEX contracts that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment as economic hedges, with the period changes in fair value recognized as product sales, except for those agreements that economically hedge the inventories associated with our pipeline system overages (the period changes in the fair value of these agreements are charged to operating expense). See Note 9 – Derivative Financial Instruments for further disclosures regarding our NYMEX contracts.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2014, product sales revenue included the following (in thousands):



	Three Months Ended					Six Months Ended
	June 30,					June 30,
	2013		2014			2013			2014

3.	Segment Disclosures

Our reportable segments are strategic business units that offer different products and services. Our segments are managed separately because each segment requires different marketing strategies and business knowledge. Management evaluates performance based on segment operating margin, which includes revenue from affiliates and external customers, operating expenses, cost of product sales and earnings of non-controlled entities. Transactions between our business segments are conducted and recorded on the same basis as transactions with third-party entities.

We believe that investors benefit from having access to the same financial measures used by management. Operating margin, which is presented in the following tables, is an important measure used by management to evaluate the economic performance of our core operations. Operating margin is not a generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") measure, but the components of operating margin are computed using amounts that are determined in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of operating margin to operating profit, which is its nearest comparable GAAP financial measure, is included in the tables below. Operating profit includes depreciation and amortization expense and general and administrative ("G&A") expenses that management does not consider when evaluating the core profitability of our separate operating segments.

5.	Business Combinations

During 2013, we acquired certain refined petroleum products pipelines and terminals from Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. We have accounted for this acquisition as a business combination under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 805, Business Combinations. The acquisition was completed in two parts, as follows:


•	New Mexico/Texas System. In July 2013, we acquired approximately 250 miles of common carrier pipeline that transports refined petroleum products from El Paso, Texas north to Albuquerque, New Mexico and transports products south to the U.S.–Mexico border for delivery within Mexico via a third-party pipeline for $57.0 million. We funded this acquisition with cash on hand.


•	Rocky Mountain System. In November 2013, we acquired approximately 550 miles of common carrier pipeline that distributes refined petroleum products in Colorado, South Dakota and Wyoming for $135.0 million. The system includes four terminals with nearly 1.7 million barrels of storage. We funded this acquisition primarily with proceeds from our debt offering in October 2013.

We completed our valuation process of this 2013 business combination during the current quarter, and there were no changes to our preliminary purchase price allocation amounts since December 31, 2013 (as reported in our 2013 annual report on Form 10-K).

portion of terminated fair value hedges and the unamortized discounts and premiums on debt issuances. Realized gains and losses on fair value hedges and note discounts and premiums are being amortized or accreted to the applicable notes over the respective lives of those notes.

2014 Debt Offering

In March 2014, we issued $250.0 million of our 5.15% notes due October 15, 2043 in an underwritten public offering. The notes were issued at 103.1% of par. We used the net proceeds from this offering of approximately $255.0 million, after underwriting discounts and offering expenses of $2.7 million, to repay borrowings outstanding under our revolving credit facility and for general partnership purposes, including expansion capital.

Other Debt

Revolving Credit Facility. The total borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facility, which matures in November 2018, is $1.0 billion. Borrowings outstanding under the facility are classified as long-term debt on our consolidated balance sheets. Borrowings under the facility are unsecured and bear interest at LIBOR plus a spread ranging from 1.0% to 1.75% based on our credit ratings. Additionally, an unused commitment fee is assessed at a rate from 0.10% to 0.28%, depending on our credit ratings. The unused commitment fee was 0.125% at June 30, 2014. Borrowings under this facility may be used for general partnership purposes, including capital expenditures. As of June 30, 2014, there were no borrowings outstanding under this facility and $5.6 million was obligated for letters of credit. Amounts obligated for letters of credit are not reflected as debt on our consolidated balance sheets, but decrease our borrowing capacity under the facility.

Commercial Paper Program. In April 2014, we initiated a commercial paper program. The maturities of the commercial paper notes vary, but may not exceed 397 days from the date of issuance. The commercial paper notes are sold under customary terms in the commercial paper market and are issued at a discount from par, or alternatively, are sold at par and bear varying interest rates on a fixed or floating basis. The commercial paper we can issue is limited by the amounts available under our revolving credit facility up to an aggregate principal amount of $1.0 billion. We have the ability and intent to refinance all of our commercial paper obligations on a long-term basis; therefore, we have elected to classify our commercial paper borrowings outstanding as long-term debt on our consolidated balance sheets.

In second quarter 2014, proceeds from commercial paper borrowings were used in part to repay our 6.45% senior notes due June 1, 2014.


9.	Derivative Financial Instruments

Interest Rate Derivatives

We periodically enter into interest rate derivatives to economically hedge debt, interest or expected debt issuances, and we have historically designated these derivatives as cash flow or fair value hedges for accounting purposes. Adjustments resulting from discontinued hedges continue to be recognized in accordance with their historic hedging relationships.

In first quarter 2014, we entered into $200.0 million of interest rate swap agreements to hedge against the variability of future interest payments on an anticipated debt issuance. We accounted for these agreements as cash flow hedges. When we issued $250.0 million of 5.15% notes due 2043 later in the first quarter of 2014, we settled the associated interest rate swap agreements for a loss of $3.6 million. The loss was recorded to other comprehensive income and is being recognized into earnings as an adjustment to our periodic interest expense

Table of Contents

MAGELLAN MIDSTREAM PARTNERS, L.P.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

accruals over the life of the associated notes. This loss was also reported as net payment on financial derivatives in the financing activities of our consolidated statements of cash flows.

During 2012, we terminated and settled certain interest rate swap agreements and realized a gain of $11.0 million, which was recorded to other comprehensive income as a deferred cash flow hedging gain. The purpose of these swaps was to hedge against the variability of future interest payments on the refinancing of our debt that matured in June 2014. We recognized ineffectiveness of $0.2 million in earnings on this deferred hedging gain in second quarter 2014 due to timing of our debt refinancing.

Commodity Derivatives

Hedging Strategies

Our butane blending activities produce gasoline products, and we can reasonably estimate the timing and quantities of sales of these products. We use a combination of forward purchase and sale contracts, NYMEX contracts and butane futures agreements to help manage price changes, which has the effect of locking in most of the product margin realized from our butane blending activities that we choose to hedge.

We account for the forward physical purchase and sale contracts we use in our butane blending and fractionation activities as normal purchases and sales. Forward contracts that qualify for and are elected as normal purchases and sales are accounted for using traditional accrual accounting. As of June 30, 2014, we had commitments under these forward purchase and sale contracts as follows (in millions):



	Notional Value		Barrels
Forward purchase contracts	$	137.7	2.4
Forward sale contracts	$	8.8	0.1

We use NYMEX contracts to hedge against changes in the price of petroleum products we expect to sell in future periods. Our NYMEX contracts fall into one of three hedge categories:



Hedge Category	Hedge Purpose	Accounting Treatment
Qualifies For Hedge Accounting Treatment
Cash Flow Hedge	To hedge the variability in cash flows related to a forecasted transaction.	The effective portion of changes in the value of the hedge is recorded to accumulated other comprehensive income/loss and reclassified to earnings when the forecasted transaction occurs. Any ineffectiveness is recognized currently in earnings.
Fair Value Hedge	To hedge against changes in the fair value of a recognized asset or liability.	The effective portion of changes in the value of the hedge is recorded as adjustments to the asset or liability being hedged. Any ineffectiveness is recognized currently in earnings.
Does Not Qualify For Hedge Accounting Treatment
Economic Hedge	To effectively serve as either a fair value or a cash flow hedge; however, the derivative agreement does not qualify for hedge accounting treatment under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging.	Changes in the value of these agreements are recognized currently in earnings.

Period changes in the fair value of NYMEX agreements that are accounted for as economic hedges, other than those economic hedges of our pipeline product overages (see discussion of these below), the effective portion of changes in the fair value of cash flow hedges that are reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income/

Table of Contents

MAGELLAN MIDSTREAM PARTNERS, L.P.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

loss and any ineffectiveness associated with hedges related to our commodity activities are recognized currently in earnings as adjustments to product sales.

We also use exchange-traded butane futures agreements, which are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes, to hedge against changes in the price of butane we expect to purchase in the future. Period changes in the fair value of these agreements are recognized currently in earnings as adjustments to cost of product sales.

Additionally, we currently hold petroleum product inventories that we obtained from overages on our pipeline systems. We use NYMEX contracts that are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes to help manage price changes related to these overage inventory barrels. Period changes in the fair value of these agreements are recognized currently in earnings as adjustments to operating expense.

As outlined in the table below, our open NYMEX contracts and butane futures agreements at June 30, 2014 were as follows:



Type of Contract/Accounting Methodology	Product Represented by the Contract and Associated Barrels	Maturity Dates
NYMEX - Fair Value Hedges	0.7 million barrels of crude oil	Between July 2014 and November 2016
NYMEX - Economic Hedges	3.4 million barrels of refined products and crude oil	Between July 2014 and April 2015
Butane Futures Agreements - Economic Hedges	0.9 million barrels of butane	Between September 2014 and April 2015

Energy Commodity Derivatives Contracts and Deposits Offsets

At June 30, 2014, we had made margin deposits of $29.1 million related to our NYMEX contracts, which were recorded as a current asset under energy commodity derivatives deposits on our consolidated balance sheet. We have the right to offset the combined fair values of our open NYMEX contracts and our open butane futures agreements against our margin deposits under a master netting arrangement; however, we have elected to disclose the combined fair values of our open NYMEX and butane futures agreements separately from the related margin deposits on our consolidated balance sheets. Additionally, we have the right to offset the fair values of our NYMEX agreements and butane futures agreements together for each counterparty, which we have elected to do, and we report the combined net balances on our consolidated balance sheets. A schedule of the derivative amounts we have offset and the deposit amounts we could offset under a master netting arrangement are provided below as of December 31, 2013 and June 30, 2014 (in thousands):

Ending balance	$	13,892		$	9,835		$	13,892		$	9,835

During 2014, we had open NYMEX contracts on 0.7 million barrels of crude oil that were designated as fair value hedges. These agreements hedge against the change in value of our crude oil linefill and tank bottom inventories. Because there was no ineffectiveness recognized on these hedges, the cumulative losses of $14.9 million from the agreements as of June 30, 2014 were fully offset by a cumulative increase of $14.7 million to tank bottom inventory and a cumulative increase of $0.2 million to our crude oil linefill, which is reported in other current assets; therefore, there was no net impact from these agreements on our results of operations.

The following tables provide a summary of the effect on our consolidated statements of income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2014 of derivatives accounted for under ASC 815-30, Derivatives and Hedging—Cash Flow Hedges, that were designated as hedging instruments (in thousands):

Environmental Liabilities

Liabilities recognized for estimated environmental costs were $38.5 million and $34.7 million at December 31, 2013 and June 30, 2014, respectively. We have classified environmental liabilities as current or noncurrent based on management’s estimates regarding the timing of actual payments. Management estimates that expenditures associated with these environmental liabilities will be paid over the next 10 years. Environmental expenses recognized as a result of changes in our environmental liabilities are included in operating expenses on our consolidated statements of income. Environmental expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 were $(9.4) million and $(8.7) million, respectively, and both of these amounts include a $10.6 million favorable adjustment to a Clean Air Act – Section 185 liability in second quarter 2013. Environmental expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 were $0.1 million and $0.4 million, respectively.

Environmental Receivables

Receivables from insurance carriers and other third parties related to environmental matters at December 31, 2013 were $4.8 million, of which $2.1 million and $2.7 million were recorded to other accounts receivable and long-term receivables, respectively, on our consolidated balance sheet. Receivables from insurance carriers and other third parties related to environmental matters at June 30, 2014 were $4.6 million, of which $2.1 million and $2.5 million were recorded to other accounts receivable and long-term receivables, respectively, on our consolidated balance sheet.

Other

In January 2014, we placed into operation a 36-mile pipeline we constructed in Texas and New Mexico at a cost of approximately $36.4 million. We entered into a long-term throughput and deficiency agreement with a customer on this pipeline, which contains minimum volume/payment commitments. This agreement is being accounted for as a direct financing lease.

We are a party to various other claims, legal actions and complaints arising in the ordinary course of business, including without limitation those disclosed in Item 1, Legal Proceedings of Part II of this report on Form 10-Q. While the results cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes the ultimate resolution of these claims, legal actions and complaints after consideration of amounts accrued, insurance coverage or other indemnification arrangements will not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows.


11.	Long-Term Incentive Plan

We have a long-term incentive plan (“LTIP”) for certain of our employees and for directors of our general partner. The LTIP primarily consists of phantom units and permits the grant of awards covering an aggregate payout of 9.4 million of our limited partner units. The estimated units available under the LTIP at June 30, 2014 total 1.8 million. The compensation committee of our general partner’s board of directors administers our LTIP.

13.	Fair Value

Recurring

Fair Value Methods and Assumptions - Financial Assets and Liabilities.

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


•	Energy commodity derivatives contracts. These include NYMEX futures and exchange-traded butane futures agreements related to petroleum products. These contracts are carried at fair value on our consolidated balance sheets and are valued based on quoted prices in active markets. See Note 9 – Derivative Financial Instruments for further disclosures regarding these contracts.


•	Long-term receivables. These include lease payments receivable under a direct-financing leasing arrangement and insurance receivables. Fair value was determined by estimating the present value of future cash flows using current market rates.

•

Debt. The fair value of our publicly traded notes was based on the prices of those notes at December 31, 2013 and June 30, 2014; however, where recent observable market trades were not available, prices were determined using adjustments to the last traded value for that debt issuance or by adjustments to the prices of similar debt instruments of peer entities that are actively traded. The carrying amount of borrowings, if any, under our revolving credit facility and our commercial paper program approximates fair value due to the frequent repricing of these obligations.

Fair Value Measurements - Financial Assets and Liabilities

The following tables summarize the carrying amounts, fair values and recurring fair value measurements recorded or disclosed as of December 31, 2013 and June 30, 2014, based on the three levels established by ASC 820; Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (in thousands):

During second quarter 2014, we recognized a $9.4 million impairment to a certain pipeline terminal and related assets. The inputs for the valuation models used in determining the fair value of this pipeline terminal and related assets were Level 3—Significant Unobservable Inputs. Management is considering divesting these assets and their carrying values were adjusted to an estimated sales value. The impairment was recorded to depreciation, amortization and impairments. The terminal and related assets are part of our Refined Products segment. As of June 30, 2014, the carrying amount and fair value of this asset were $10.0 million.


14.	Related Party Transactions

Barry R. Pearl is an independent member of our general partner's board of directors and is also a director of Targa Resources Partners, L.P. ("Targa"). In the normal course of business, we purchase butane from subsidiaries of Targa. For the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2014, we made purchases of butane from subsidiaries of Targa of $0.4 million and $1.6 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2014, we made purchases of butane from subsidiaries of Targa of $14.6 million and $13.8 million, respectively. These purchases were made on the same terms as comparable third-party transactions. There were no amounts payable to Targa at December 31, 2013 or June 30, 2014.

ITEM 2.	MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Introduction

We are a publicly traded limited partnership principally engaged in the transportation, storage and distribution of refined petroleum products and crude oil. As of June 30, 2014, our asset portfolio including the assets of our joint ventures consisted of:


•	our refined products segment, including our 9,500-mile refined products pipeline system with 54 terminals as well as 27 independent terminals not connected to our pipeline system and our 1,100-mile ammonia pipeline system;


•	our crude oil segment, comprised of approximately 1,100 miles of active crude oil pipelines and storage facilities with an aggregate storage capacity of approximately 18 million barrels, of which 12 million is used for leased storage; and


•	our marine storage segment, consisting of five marine terminals located along coastal waterways with an aggregate storage capacity of approximately 27 million barrels.

The following discussion provides an analysis of the results for each of our operating segments, an overview of our liquidity and capital resources and other items related to our partnership. The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with (i) our accompanying interim consolidated financial statements and related notes and (ii) our consolidated financial statements, related notes and management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Recent Developments

BridgeTex Pipeline. BridgeTex Pipeline Company, LLC ("BridgeTex") is in the final stages of construction. Tank construction at the Colorado City origin point is complete and pipeline linefill activities are underway on portions of the pipeline. Pipeline shipments are expected to begin in September to deliver up to 300,000 barrels per day of crude oil from the Permian Basin to the Houston area.

Pipeline Tariff Increase. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission ("FERC") regulates the rates charged on interstate common carrier pipeline operations primarily through an indexing methodology, which establishes the maximum amount by which tariffs can be adjusted each year. Approximately 40% of our refined products tariffs are subject to this indexing methodology while the remaining 60% of our refined products tariffs can be adjusted at our discretion based on competitive factors. The current FERC-approved indexing method is the annual change in the producer price index for finished goods ("PPI-FG") plus 2.65%. Based on this indexing methodology, we increased virtually all of our refined products tariffs by 3.9% on July 1, 2014. Further, pursuant to our customer contracts, we increased our tariffs on the Longhorn crude oil pipeline by 5% on July 1, 2014.

Cash Distribution. In July 2014, the board of directors of our general partner declared a quarterly cash distribution of $0.64 per unit for the period of April 1, 2014 through June 30, 2014. This quarterly cash distribution will be paid on August 14, 2014 to unitholders of record on August 4, 2014. Total distributions expected to be paid under this declaration are approximately $145.3 million.

Results of Operations

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

Table of Contents

Transportation and terminals revenue increased $71.2 million resulting from:

•

an increase in refined products revenue of $30.2 million. Excluding the pipeline systems we acquired in the second half of 2013 (under Item 1, see Note 5-Business Combinations for a discussion of these systems), refined products revenue increased $20.4 million primarily due to a 5% increase in transportation volumes and higher ancillary revenues due to increased activity. Shipments were higher primarily due to increased demand for gasoline and distillates;

•

an increase in crude oil revenue of $38.4 million primarily due to crude oil deliveries on our Longhorn pipeline, which represented approximately 90% of the increase. Our Longhorn pipeline began delivering crude oil in mid-April 2013, averaging approximately 90 thousand barrels per day during 2013 from its start date. In second quarter 2014, barrels per day increased to an average of approximately 250,000; and


•	an increase in marine storage revenue of $2.6 million primarily due to higher storage rates and fees related to increased activity.

Affiliate management fee revenue increased $1.6 million due to higher construction management fees related to BridgeTex. The construction management fees we receive are designed to reimburse us for our costs of providing services to BridgeTex during its construction.

Operating expenses increased by $47.4 million resulting from:

•

an increase in refined products expenses of $30.8 million. Excluding the pipeline systems we acquired in the second half of 2013, refined products expenses increased approximately $23.9 million primarily due to a favorable adjustment in second quarter 2013 of an accrual for potential air emission fees at our East Houston, Texas facility and less favorable product overages, which reduce operating expenses and vary between periods due to operating conditions, metering inaccuracies or other events that result in volume gains or losses during the shipment process;


•	an increase in crude oil expenses of $7.8 million primarily due to costs related to the operation of our Longhorn pipeline in crude oil service as a result of higher shipments in the current period, including higher power expenses, asset integrity and personnel costs, partially offset by more favorable product overages, which reduce operating expenses; and


•	an increase in marine storage expenses of $8.9 million primarily due to a favorable adjustment in second quarter 2013 of an accrual for potential air emission fees at our Galena Park, Texas facility and higher asset integrity costs in the current period.

Product sales revenue primarily resulted from our butane blending activities, product gains from our independent terminals and transmix fractionation. We utilize New York Mercantile Exchange (“NYMEX”) contracts to hedge against changes in the price of petroleum products we expect to sell in the future. Product sales revenue also included the period change in the mark-to-market value of these contracts that are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes, the effective portion of the change in value of matured NYMEX contracts that qualified for hedge accounting treatment and any ineffectiveness of NYMEX contracts that qualify for hedge accounting treatment. We use butane futures agreements to hedge against changes in the price of butane we expect to purchase in future periods. The period change in the mark-to-market value of these futures agreements, which were not designated as hedges, are included as adjustments to cost of product sales. See Other Items—Commodity Derivative Agreements—Impact of Commodity Derivatives on Results of Operations below for more information about our NYMEX contracts. Product margin decreased $14.1 million primarily attributable to unrealized losses recognized on NYMEX contracts in the current quarter compared to unrealized gains recognized in second quarter 2013, partially offset by higher butane blending volumes.

Earnings of non-controlled entities increased $1.2 million primarily due to higher earnings related to Double Eagle Pipeline LLC ("Double Eagle"), which began operations in May 2013.

Table of Contents

Depreciation, amortization and impairments increased $12.7 million primarily due to an asset impairment of $9.4 million in second quarter 2014 related to a certain pipeline terminal and related assets that management is considering selling, as well as expansion capital projects placed into service since second quarter 2013.

G&A expense increased $6.1 million primarily due to higher equity-based compensation costs and deferred board of director awards reflecting a higher price for our limited partner units and higher personnel costs resulting from an increase in employee headcount.

Interest expense, net of interest income and interest capitalized, increased $1.6 million. Our average outstanding debt increased from $2.4 billion in second quarter 2013 to $3.0 billion in second quarter 2014 primarily due to borrowings for expansion capital expenditures, including $300.0 million of 5.15% senior notes issued in October 2013 and $250.0 million of 5.15% senior notes issued in March 2014. Our weighted-average interest rate decreased from 5.2% in second quarter 2013 to 5.0% in second quarter 2014.

Table of Contents

Transportation and terminals revenue increased $161.5 million resulting from:

•

an increase in refined products revenue of $75.0 million. Excluding the pipeline systems we acquired in the second half of 2013 (under Item 1, see Note 5-Business Combinations for a discussion of these systems), refined products revenue increased $55.1 million primarily due to a 4% increase in transportation volumes, higher average rates and higher ancillary revenues due to increased activity. Shipments were higher primarily due to increased demand for gasoline and distillates. The average rate per barrel in the current period was impacted by the mid-year 2013 tariff rate increase and more long-haul shipments at a higher rate;

•

an increase in crude oil revenue of $83.1 million primarily due to crude oil deliveries on our Longhorn pipeline, which represented approximately 90% of the increase. Our Longhorn pipeline began delivering crude oil in mid-April 2013, averaging approximately 90 thousand barrels per day during 2013 from its start date. For the six months ended 2014, barrels per day increased to an average of approximately 225,000; and


•	an increase in marine storage revenue of $3.4 million primarily due to higher storage rates and fees related to increased activity.

Affiliate management fee revenue increased $3.1 million due to higher construction management fees related to BridgeTex. The construction management fees we receive are designed to reimburse us for our costs of providing services to BridgeTex during its construction.

Operating expenses increased by $55.8 million resulting from:

•

an increase in refined products expenses of $35.7 million. Excluding the pipeline systems we acquired in the second half of 2013, refined products expenses increased approximately $24.6 million primarily due to a favorable adjustment in 2013 of an accrual for potential air emission fees at our East Houston facility as well as additional costs in the current year for property taxes, power and personnel costs and lower product overages, which reduce operating expenses;

•

an increase in crude oil expenses of $11.8 million primarily due to costs related to the operation of our Longhorn pipeline in crude oil service resulting from higher shipments in the current period, including higher power expenses, personnel costs and pipeline rental fees to access product from third-party origination sources, partially offset by more favorable product overages, which reduce operating expenses; and


•	an increase in marine storage expenses of $8.4 million primarily due to a favorable adjustment in 2013 of an accrual for potential air emission fees at our Galena Park facility, and higher asset integrity costs in the current period.

Product margin increased $42.7 million primarily attributable to higher margins from our butane blending activities as a result of lower butane costs and higher sales volumes, partially offset by lower sales prices. The increased volume was primarily attributable to selling gasoline production volumes carried over from our fourth quarter 2013 blending activities as well as capturing additional blending opportunities in the current period.

Depreciation, amortization and impairments increased $13.9 million primarily due to an asset impairment of $9.4 million in 2014 related to a certain pipeline terminal and related assets that management is considering selling, as well as expansion capital projects placed into service since 2013.

G&A expense increased $10.9 million primarily due to higher equity-based compensation costs and deferred board of director awards reflecting a higher price for our limited partner units and higher personnel costs resulting from an increase in employee headcount.

Interest expense, net of interest income and interest capitalized, increased $4.0 million. Our average outstanding debt increased from $2.4 billion in 2013 to $2.9 billion in 2014 primarily due to borrowings for expansion capital expenditures, including $300.0 million of 5.15% senior notes issued in October 2013 and $250.0

million of 5.15% senior notes issued in March 2014. Our weighted-average interest rate decreased from 5.2% in 2013 to 5.1% in 2014.

Distributable Cash Flow

Distributable cash flow ("DCF") and adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP measures. Management uses DCF as a basis for recommending to our general partner's board of directors the amount of cash distributions to be paid each period. Management also uses DCF (adjusted) as a performance measure in determining equity-based compensation. Adjusted EBITDA is an important measure that we and the investment community use to assess the financial results of an entity. We believe that investors benefit from having access to the same financial measures utilized by management for these evaluations. A reconciliation of DCF and adjusted EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2014 to net income, which is its nearest comparable GAAP financial measure, follows (in millions):

(1)	Depreciation, amortization and impairments include debt placement fee amortization. The 2014 amount includes a $9.4 million impairment of a certain terminal and related assets. See Note 13 – Fair Value Measurements for further discussion of this matter.

(2)

Because we intend to satisfy vesting of units under our equity-based incentive compensation program with the issuance of limited partner units, expenses related to this program generally are deemed non-cash and added back to net income to calculate DCF. Total equity-based incentive compensation expense for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2014 was $10.3 million and $12.7 million, respectively. However, the figures above include an adjustment for minimum statutory tax withholdings we paid in 2013 and 2014 of $12.3 million and $14.8 million, respectively, for equity-based incentive compensation units that vested at the previous year end, which reduce DCF.


(3)	Certain derivatives we use as economic hedges have not been designated as hedges for accounting purposes and the mark-to-market changes of these derivatives are recognized currently in earnings. These amounts represent the gains or losses from economic hedges in our earnings for the period associated with products that had not yet been physically sold as of the period-end date.


(4)	When we physically sell products that we have economically hedged (but were not designated as hedges for accounting purposes), we include in our DCF calculations the full amount of the change in fair value of the associated derivative agreement.


(5)	Maintenance capital expenditure projects are not undertaken primarily to generate incremental DCF (i.e. incremental returns to our unitholders), while expansion capital projects are undertaken primarily to generate incremental DCF. For this reason, we deduct maintenance capital expenditures to determine DCF.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Flows and Capital Expenditures

Net cash provided by operating activities was $339.7 million and $477.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2014, respectively. The $137.7 million increase from 2013 to 2014 was primarily attributable to:


•	a $136.1 million increase in net income and non-cash depreciation, amortization and impairments; and


•	a $17.3 million increase resulting from a $25.5 million decrease in trade accounts receivable and other accounts receivable in 2014 versus an $8.2 million decrease during 2013, primarily due to timing of payments from our customers.

These increases were partially offset by a $15.7 million decrease resulting from a $1.7 million increase in inventory in 2014 versus a $14.0 million decrease in inventory in 2013 principally due to increased inventories from product overages on our pipeline system.

Net cash used by investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2014 was $307.8 million and $437.3 million, respectively. During the first six months of 2014, we spent $149.1 million for capital expenditures, which included $34.8 million for maintenance capital and $114.3 million for expansion capital. Also so far in 2014, we contributed capital of $285.9 million in conjunction with our joint venture capital projects (primarily BridgeTex) which we account for as investments in non-controlled entities. During the first six months of 2013, we spent $181.2 million for capital expenditures, which included $33.0 million for maintenance capital and $148.2 million for expansion capital. Also during the 2013 period, we contributed capital of $99.7 million in conjunction with our joint venture capital projects which we account for as investments in non-controlled entities.

Net cash used by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2014 was $240.6 million and $64.5 million, respectively. During the first six months of 2014, we paid cash distributions of $271.9 million to our unitholders. Additionally, we received net proceeds of $257.7 million from borrowings under notes and $221.0 million from borrowings under our commercial paper program, which were used in part to repay our 6.45% notes due June 1, 2014, to repay borrowings outstanding under our revolving credit facility and for general partnership purposes, including expansion capital. Also, in January 2014, the cumulative amounts of the January 2011 equity-based incentive compensation award grants were settled by issuing 387,216 limited partner units and distributing those units to the long-term incentive plan ("LTIP") participants, resulting in payments of associated tax withholdings of $14.8 million. During the first six months of 2013, we paid cash distributions of $228.4 million to our unitholders. Also, in January 2013, the cumulative amounts of the January 2010 equity-based incentive compensation award grants were settled by issuing 476,682 limited partner units and distributing those units to the LTIP participants, resulting in payments of associated tax withholdings of $12.3 million.

The quarterly distribution amount related to our second-quarter 2014 financial results (to be paid in third quarter 2014) is $0.64 per unit. If we meet management's targeted distribution growth of 20% for 2014 and the number of outstanding limited partner units remains at 227.1 million, total cash distributions of approximately

Table of Contents

$593.8 million will be paid to our unitholders related to 2014 financial results. Management believes we will have sufficient distributable cash flow to fund these distributions.

Capital Requirements

Our businesses require continual investments to maintain, upgrade or enhance existing operations and to ensure compliance with safety and environmental regulations. Capital spending consists primarily of:


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

•

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

For the six months ended June 30, 2014, our maintenance capital spending was $34.8 million. For 2014, we expect to spend approximately $77.0 million on maintenance capital.

During the first six months of 2014, we spent $114.3 million for organic growth capital and $285.9 million for capital projects in conjunction with our joint ventures. Based on the progress of expansion projects already underway, including the expansion of our Longhorn crude oil pipeline, construction of a condensate splitter at Corpus Christi, Texas and pipeline segment to Little Rock, Arkansas and our investment in the BridgeTex pipeline, we expect to spend approximately $775.0 million for expansion capital and joint venture capital contributions during 2014, with an additional $350.0 million in 2015 and $75.0 million in 2016 to complete our current projects.

Table of Contents

All of the instruments detailed in the table above are senior indebtedness.

The face value of our debt at December 31, 2013 and June 30, 2014 was $2.7 billion and $2.9 billion, respectively. The difference between the face value and carrying value of the debt outstanding is the unamortized portion of terminated fair value hedges and the unamortized discounts and premiums on debt issuances. Realized gains and losses on fair value hedges and note discounts and premiums are being amortized or accreted to the applicable notes over the respective lives of those notes.

2014 Debt Offering

Other Debt

In second quarter 2014, proceeds from commercial paper borrowings were used in part to repay our 6.45% senior notes due June 1, 2014.

Interest Rate Derivatives. In first quarter 2014, we entered into $200.0 million of interest rate swap agreements to hedge against the variability of future interest payments on an anticipated debt issuance. We accounted for these agreements as cash flow hedges. When we issued $250.0 million of 5.15% notes due 2043 later in the first quarter of 2014, we settled the associated interest rate swap agreements for a loss of $3.6 million. The loss was recorded to other comprehensive income and is being recognized into earnings as an adjustment to our periodic interest expense accruals over the life of the associated notes. This loss was also reported as net payment on financial derivatives in the financing activities of our consolidated statements of cash flows.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

None.

Environmental

Our operations are subject to federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations. We have accrued liabilities for estimated costs at our facilities and properties. We record liabilities when environmental costs are probable and can be reasonably estimated. The determination of amounts recorded for environmental liabilities involves significant judgments and assumptions by management. Due to the inherent uncertainties involved in determining environmental liabilities, it is reasonably possible that the actual amounts required to extinguish these liabilities could be materially different from those we have recognized.

Other Items

Condensate Splitter. In March 2014, we announced plans to construct a condensate splitter at our terminal in Corpus Christi, Texas under a fee-based, take-or-pay agreement with a third-party customer. The project also includes construction of more than one million barrels of storage, dock improvements and two additional truck rack bays at our terminal as well as pipeline connectivity between our terminal and our customer's nearby facility. The splitter will be capable of processing 50,000 barrels per day of condensate. We expect the condensate splitter and related infrastructure to cost approximately $250 million and to be operational during the second half of 2016, subject to receipt of necessary permits and authorizations.

Little Rock Pipeline. In May 2014, we announced plans to transport refined products from our Ft. Smith, Arkansas terminal to Little Rock, Arkansas. We have entered into an agreement with a third party to utilize an existing pipeline for a portion of the route, which we will extend to our Ft. Smith terminal and to the Little Rock market with approximately 50 miles of newly-constructed pipeline. We further plan to make enhancements to our pipeline system to accommodate additional volumes. The Little Rock pipeline project is expected to cost approximately $150 million and be operational in early 2016, subject to receipt of regulatory and other approvals.

Commodity Derivative Agreements. Certain of the business activities in which we engage result in our owning various commodities which exposes us to commodity price risk. We use NYMEX contracts and butane futures agreements to help manage this commodity price risk. We use NYMEX contracts to hedge against changes in the price of refined products we expect to sell in future periods. We use and account for those NYMEX contracts that qualify for hedge accounting treatment as either cash flow or fair value hedges, and we use and account for those NYMEX contracts that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment as economic hedges. We use butane futures agreements to economically hedge against changes in the price of butane we expect to purchase in the future as part of our butane blending activity. As of June 30, 2014, our open derivative contracts were as follows:

Open Derivative Contracts Designated as Hedges

•

NYMEX contracts covering 0.7 million barrels of crude oil to hedge against future price changes of crude oil linefill and tank bottom inventory. These contracts, which we are accounting for as fair value hedges, mature between July 2014 and November 2016. Through June 30, 2014, the cumulative amount of losses from these agreements was $14.9 million. The cumulative losses from these fair value hedges were recorded as adjustments to the asset being hedged, and there has been no ineffectiveness recognized for these hedges. As a result, none of these cumulative losses have impacted our consolidated income statement.

Table of Contents

Open Derivative Contracts Not Designated as Hedges

•

NYMEX contracts covering 3.0 million barrels of refined products related to our butane blending and fractionation activities. These contracts mature between July 2014 and April 2015 and are being accounted for as economic hedges. Through June 30, 2014, the cumulative amount of net unrealized losses associated with these agreements was $12.2 million. We recorded these losses as an adjustment to product sales revenue, all of which was recognized in 2014.

•

NYMEX contracts covering 0.4 million barrels of refined products and crude oil related to inventory we carry that resulted from pipeline product overages. These contracts, which mature in July 2014, are being accounted for as economic hedges. Through June 30, 2014, the cumulative amount of net unrealized gains associated with these agreements was $0.4 million. We recorded these gains as an adjustment to operating expenses, all of which was recognized in 2014.


•	Butane futures agreements to purchase 0.9 million barrels of butane that mature between September 2014 and April 2015, which are being accounted for as economic hedges. Through June 30, 2014, the cumulative amount of net unrealized gains associated with these agreements was $0.6 million. We recorded these gains as an adjustment to cost of product sales, all of which was recognized in 2014.

Settled Derivative Contracts


•	We settled NYMEX contracts covering 4.8 million barrels of refined products related to economic hedges of products from our butane blending and fractionation activities that we sold during 2014. We recognized a loss of $1.6 million in 2014 related to these contracts, which we recorded as an adjustment to product sales revenue.


•	We settled NYMEX contracts covering 2.9 million barrels of refined products and crude oil related to economic hedges of product inventories from product overages on our pipeline system that we sold during 2014. We recognized a loss of $4.3 million in 2014 on the settlement of these contracts, which we recorded as an adjustment to operating expense.


•	We settled butane futures agreements covering 0.1 million barrels related to economic hedges of butane purchases we made during 2014 associated with our butane blending activities. We recognized a gain of $0.2 million in the current period on the settlement of these contracts, which we recorded as an adjustment to cost of product sales.

Related Party Transactions. Barry R. Pearl is an independent member of our general partner's board of directors and is also a director of Targa Resources Partners, L.P. ("Targa"). In the normal course of business, we purchase butane from subsidiaries of Targa. For the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2014, we made purchases of butane from subsidiaries of Targa of $0.4 million and $1.6 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2014, we made purchases of butane from subsidiaries of Targa of $14.6 million and $13.8 million, respectively. These purchases were made on the same terms as comparable third-party transactions. There were no amounts payable to Targa at December 31, 2013 or June 30, 2014.

We own a 50% interest in Double Eagle which transports condensate from the Eagle Ford shale formation in South Texas via a 195-mile pipeline to our terminal in Corpus Christi, Texas. Double Eagle is operated by an affiliate of the other 50% member of Double Eagle. In addition to our equity ownership in Double Eagle, we receive throughput revenue from Double Eagle that is included in our transportation and terminals revenue on our consolidated statements of income. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, we received throughput revenue of $0.8 million and $1.3 million, respectively. We recorded a $0.2 million and $0.3 million trade accounts receivable from Double Eagle at December 31, 2013 and June 30, 2014, respectively.

We own a 50% interest in BridgeTex, which is in the process of constructing a 450-mile pipeline with related infrastructure to transport crude oil from Colorado City, Texas for delivery to Houston and Texas City, Texas refineries. This pipeline is expected to begin service in the third quarter of 2014. We receive construction management fees from BridgeTex, which we report as affiliate management fee revenue on our consolidated statements of income.

We received $4.8 million from BridgeTex in 2013 as a deposit for the purchase of emission reduction credits, which were necessary for the operation of BridgeTex's tanks in East Houston, Texas. In second quarter 2014, we transferred these emission reduction credits to BridgeTex and recorded $2.4 million as a reduction of operating expense. We recorded the remaining $2.4 million as an adjustment to our investment in BridgeTex, which will be amortized to earnings of non-controlled entities over the weighted average depreciable lives of the BridgeTex assets.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-12, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period. This ASU finalizes the Emerging Issues Task Force’s Proposed ASU No. EITF-13D of the same name, and seeks to resolve the diversity in practice that exists when accounting for share-based payments. This ASU requires that a performance target that affects vesting and can be achieved after the requisite service period to be accounted for as a performance condition. The new standard is effective for annual and interim periods after December 15, 2015. We do not expect that our adoption of this standard will have a material impact on our results of operation, financial position or cash flows.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which eliminates the industry-specific guidance in U.S. GAAP and produces a single, principles-based way for companies to report revenue in their financial statements. The new standard requires companies to make more estimates and use more judgment than under current guidance. In addition, all companies must compile more extensive footnote disclosures about how the revenue numbers were derived. This ASU is effective for periods beginning January 1, 2017 and requires either a full retrospective or modified retrospective adoption. We have not yet determined which adoption method we will employ. Early adoption of this standard is not allowed. We are currently in the process of evaluating the impact this new standard will have on our financial statements.

In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-08, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of

Table of Contents

Components of an Entity. This standard will limit the number of disposals of assets that should be presented as discontinued operations to those disposals that represent a strategic shift in operations and have a major effect on the organization's operations and financial results. Expanded disclosures will be required to provide more information about the assets, liabilities, income and expenses of discontinued operations as well as significant asset disposals that do not meet the criterion for discontinued operations treatment. This ASU will take effect for annual financial statements with fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2014. We do not expect the adoption of this standard to impact our results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

ITEM 3.	QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

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

Commodity Price Risk

We use derivatives to help us manage commodity price risk. Forward physical contracts that qualify for and are elected as normal purchases and sales are accounted for using traditional accrual accounting. As of June 30, 2014, we had commitments under forward purchase and sale contracts used in our butane blending and fractionation activities as follows (in millions):



	Notional Value		Barrels
Forward purchase contracts	$	137.7	2.4
Forward sale contracts	$	8.8	0.1

We use NYMEX contracts to hedge against changes in the price of petroleum products we expect to sell from activities in which we acquire or produce petroleum products. Some of these NYMEX contracts qualify for hedge accounting treatment, and we designate and account for these as either cash flow or fair value hedges. We account for those NYMEX contracts that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment, or are otherwise undesignated as cash flow or fair value hedges, as economic hedges. We also use butane futures agreements to hedge against changes in the price of butane that we expect to purchase in future periods. At June 30, 2014, we had open NYMEX contracts representing 4.1 million barrels of petroleum products we expect to sell in the future. Additionally, we had open butane futures agreements for 0.9 million barrels of butane we expect to purchase in the future.

At June 30, 2014, the fair value of our open NYMEX contracts was a liability of $15.3 million and the fair value of our butane futures agreements was an asset of $0.6 million. Combined, the net liability of $14.7 million was recorded as a current liability to energy commodity derivatives contracts ($11.1 million) and other non-current liabilities ($3.6 million).

At June 30, 2014, open NYMEX contracts representing 3.4 million barrels of petroleum products did not qualify for hedge accounting treatment. A $10.00 per barrel increase in the price of these NYMEX contracts for reformulated gasoline blendstock for oxygen blending (“RBOB”) gasoline or heating oil would result in a $34.0 million decrease in our operating profit and a $10.00 per barrel decrease in the price of these NYMEX contracts for RBOB or heating oil would result in a $34.0 million increase in our operating profit. However, the increases or decreases in operating profit we recognize from our open NYMEX contracts would be substantially offset by higher or lower product sales revenue when the physical sale of those products occur. These contracts may be for the purchase or sale of product in markets different from those in which we are attempting to hedge our exposure, resulting in hedges that do not eliminate all price risks.

Interest Rate Risk

At June 30, 2014, we had $221.0 million of commercial paper notes outstanding which represents variable rate debt. We can issue up to $1.0 billion of commercial paper, limited by the amounts available under our revolving credit facility. Considering the amount of commercial paper borrowings outstanding at June 30, 2014, our annual interest expense would change by $0.3 million if rates charged by our commercial paper lenders changed by 0.125%.

ITEM 4.	CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

We performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in rule 13a-14(c) of the Securities Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by the date of this report. We performed this evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our general partner’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Based upon that evaluation, our general partner’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that these disclosure controls and practices are effective in providing reasonable assurance that all required disclosures are included in the current report. Additionally, these disclosure controls and practices are effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed is accumulated and communicated to our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Securities Exchange Act) during the quarter ended June 30, 2014 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain matters discussed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q include forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act that discuss our expected future results based on current and pending business operations. We make these forward-looking statements in reliance on the safe harbor protections provided under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as "anticipates," "believes," "continue," "could," "estimates," "expects," "forecasts," "goal," "guidance," "intends," "may," "might," "plans," "potential," "projected," "scheduled," "should," "will" and other similar expressions. Although we believe our forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, statements made regarding future results are not guarantees of future performance and subject to numerous assumptions, uncertainties and risks that are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may be materially different from the results stated or implied in such forward-looking statements included in this report.

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


•	overall demand for refined products, crude oil, liquefied petroleum gases and ammonia in the U.S.;


•	price fluctuations for refined products, crude oil, liquefied petroleum gases and ammonia and expectations about future prices for these products;


•	changes in general economic conditions, interest rates and price levels;


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


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


•	development of alternative energy sources, including but not limited to natural gas, solar power, wind power and geothermal energy, increased use of biofuels such as ethanol and biodiesel, increased conservation or fuel efficiency, as well as regulatory developments or other trends that could affect demand for our services;


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


•	changes in demand for storage in our refined products, crude oil or marine terminals;


•	changes in supply patterns for our storage terminals due to geopolitical events;


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


•	changes in our tariff rates implemented by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, the U.S. Surface Transportation Board or state regulatory agencies;

•	shut-downs or cutbacks at refineries, oil wells, petrochemical plants, ammonia production facilities or other customers or businesses that use or supply our services;


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


•	an increase in the competition our operations encounter;


•	the occurrence of natural disasters, terrorism, operational hazards, equipment failures, system failures or unforeseen interruptions;


•	not being adequately insured or having losses that exceed our insurance coverage;


•	our ability to obtain insurance and to manage the increased cost of available insurance;


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


•	our ability to identify expansion projects or to complete identified expansion projects on time and at projected costs;


•	our ability to make and integrate accretive acquisitions and joint ventures and successfully execute our business strategy;


•	uncertainty of estimates, including accruals and costs of environmental remediation;


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


•	actions by rating agencies concerning our credit ratings;


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


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


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


•	changes in laws and regulations that govern product quality specifications or renewable fuel obligations that could impact our ability to produce gasoline volumes through our blending activities or that could require significant capital outlays for compliance;


•	changes in laws and regulations to which we or our customers are or become subject, including tax withholding issues, safety, security, employment, hydraulic fracturing, derivatives transactions, and environmental laws and regulations, including laws and regulations designed to address climate change;


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


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


•	the effect of changes in accounting policies;


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


•	the ability of third parties to perform on their contractual obligations to us;


•	petroleum product supply disruptions;


•	global and domestic repercussions from terrorist activities, including cyber attacks, and the government's response thereto; and


•	other factors and uncertainties inherent in the transportation, storage and distribution of refined products and crude oil.

This list of important factors is not exclusive. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events, changes in assumptions or otherwise.

PART II

OTHER INFORMATION


ITEM 1.	LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Glenn A. Henke, et al. v. Magellan Pipeline Company, L.P., et al.

In February 2010, a class action lawsuit was filed against us, ARCO Midcon L.L.C. and WilTel Communications, L.L.C. ("WilTel"). The complaint alleged that the property owned by plaintiffs and those similarly situated was damaged by the existence of hazardous chemicals migrating from a pipeline easement onto the plaintiffs' property and seeks recovery for such damages. We acquired the pipeline from ARCO Pipeline ("APL") in 1994 as part of a larger transaction and subsequently transferred the property to WilTel. We are required to indemnify and defend WilTel pursuant to the transfer agreement. Prior to our acquisition of the pipeline property from APL, the pipeline was purged of product. Neither we nor WilTel ever transported hazardous materials through the pipeline. A hearing on the plaintiffs' Motion for Class Certification was held in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri in December 2012. In March 2014, the U.S. District Court denied plaintiff's motion for Class Certification. In June 2014, the remaining individual claims against us and WilTel were settled for a de minimis amount.

2011 EPA Clean Water Act Information Request for Pipeline Release in Texas

In July 2011, we received an information request from the Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") pursuant to Section 308 of the Clean Water Act regarding a pipeline release in February 2011 in Texas. We have accrued $0.1 million for potential monetary sanctions related to this matter. While the results cannot be predicted with certainty, we believe that the ultimate resolution of this matter will not have a material impact on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

2012 Notice of Probable Violation from PHMSA for Oklahoma and Texas

In March 2012, we received a Notice of Probable Violation from the U.S. Department of Transportation, Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration ("PHMSA") for alleged violations related to the operation and maintenance of certain pipelines in Oklahoma and Texas. We have accrued approximately $0.15 million for potential monetary sanctions related to this matter. While the results cannot be predicted with certainty, we believe that the ultimate resolution of this matter will not have a material impact on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

2012 EPA Clean Water Act Information Request for Pipeline Release in Nebraska

In April 2012, we received an information request from the EPA pursuant to Section 308 of the Clean Water Act, regarding a pipeline release in December 2011 in Nebraska. We have accrued $0.6 million for potential monetary sanctions related to this matter. While the results cannot be predicted with certainty, we believe that the ultimate resolution of this matter will not have a material impact on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

US Oil Recovery, EPA ID No.: TXN000607093 Superfund Site

We have liability at the U.S. Oil Recovery Superfund Site in Pasadena, Texas as a potential responsible party ("PRP") under Section 107(a) of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980, as amended ("CERCLA"). As a result of the EPA’s Administrative Settlement Agreement and Order on Consent for Removal Action, filed August 25, 2011, EPA Region 6, CERCLA Docket No. 06-10-11, we voluntarily entered into the PRP group responsible for the site investigation, stabilization and subsequent site cleanup. Currently, there is an ongoing removal action designed to stabilize the site, remove the immediate threat posed at

the site and set the stage for a later more comprehensive action, known as the assessment phase. We have paid $15,000 associated with the assessment phase. Until this assessment phase has been completed, we cannot reasonably estimate our proportionate share of the remediation costs associated with this site.

We are a party to various other claims, legal actions and complaints arising in the ordinary course of business. While the results cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes the ultimate resolution of these claims, legal actions and complaints after consideration of amounts accrued, insurance coverage or other indemnification arrangements will not have a material adverse effect on our future results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K are not our only risks. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.
