MAGELLAN MIDSTREAM PARTNERS, L.P.
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 September 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 1,600 miles of crude oil pipelines and storage facilities with an aggregate storage capacity of approximately 20 million barrels, of which 12 million barrels is used for leased storage. BridgeTex Pipeline Company, LLC ("BridgeTex") began commercial service in September 2014 and is now included in the pipeline miles and storage capacity amounts of our crude oil segment; 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.

MAGELLAN MIDSTREAM PARTNERS, L.P.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)



Except for ammonia, we use the term petroleum products to describe any, or a combination, of the above-noted products.
 
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 September 30, 2014, the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2014 and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2014. The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2014 as profits from our blending activities are realized mostly during the first and fourth quarters of each year. Additionally, gasoline demand, which drives transportation volumes and revenues on our pipeline systems, generally trends higher during the summer driving months.
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 could qualify for hedge accounting treatment, and when the contracts are so designated we 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.

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.

Investments in Non-Controlled Entities

We own a 50% interest in Texas Frontera, LLC ("Texas Frontera"), which owns approximately one million barrels of refined products storage at our Galena Park, Texas terminal. The storage capacity owned by this joint venture is leased to an affiliate of Texas Frontera under a long-term lease agreement. We receive management fees from Texas Frontera, which we report as affiliate management fee revenue on our consolidated statements of income.

We own a 50% interest in Osage Pipe Line Company, LLC ("Osage"), which owns a 135-mile crude oil pipeline in Oklahoma and Kansas that we operate. We receive management fees from Osage, which we report as affiliate management fee revenue on our consolidated statements of income.

We own a 50% interest in Double Eagle Pipeline LLC ("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 months ended September 30, 2013 and 2014, we received throughput revenue of $0.5 million and $0.7 million, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2014, we received throughput revenue of $0.8 million and $2.0 million, respectively. We recognized a $0.2 million and $0.3 million trade accounts receivable from Double Eagle at December 31, 2013 and September 30, 2014, respectively.

We own a 50% interest in BridgeTex, which owns a 450-mile pipeline with related infrastructure to transport crude oil from Colorado City, Texas for delivery to the Houston Gulf Coast area. BridgeTex began commercial service to the Houston Gulf Coast region during September 2014. We receive 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 we are amortizing to earnings of non-controlled entities over the weighted average depreciable lives of the BridgeTex assets. Also during 2013, we received $1.4 million from BridgeTex for the purchase of easement rights from us, of which $0.7 million was recorded as a reduction of operating expense and $0.7 million was recorded as an adjustment to our investment in BridgeTex, which we are amortizing to earnings of non-controlled entities over the weighted average depreciable lives of the BridgeTex assets.

The operating results from Texas Frontera are included in our marine storage segment and the operating results from Osage, Double Eagle and BridgeTex are included in our crude oil segment as earnings of non-controlled entities.

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 United States–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 $300.0 million debt offering we completed in October 2013.

We completed our valuation process of this 2013 business combination during the second quarter of 2014, 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).

Weighted-average interest rate includes the amortization/accretion of discounts, premiums and gains/losses realized on historical cash flow and fair value hedges recognized as interest expense.

(2)
These borrowings were outstanding for only a portion of the nine month period ending September 30, 2014. The weighted-average interest rate for these borrowings was calculated based on the number of days the borrowings were outstanding during the noted period.

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

Table of Contents




MAGELLAN MIDSTREAM PARTNERS, L.P.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)



The face value of our debt at December 31, 2013 and September 30, 2014 was $2.7 billion and $3.0 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

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 September 30, 2014. Borrowings under this facility may be used for general partnership purposes, including capital expenditures. As of September 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 $250.0 million of 6.45% senior notes that were due June 1, 2014. Additional commercial paper borrowings have been used for general partnership purposes, including expansion capital.

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 third quarter 2014, we entered into $200.0 million of forward-starting interest rate swap agreements to hedge against the risk of variability of future interest payments on a portion of debt we anticipate issuing in the next year. The fair value of these contracts at September 30, 2014 was a net liability of $1.8 million. We account for these agreements as cash flow hedges.

Table of Contents




MAGELLAN MIDSTREAM PARTNERS, L.P.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)



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.

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 in earnings on this deferred hedging gain of $0.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 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 Chicago Mercantile Exchange ("CME") butane futures agreements to help manage commodity 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 September 30, 2014, we had commitments under these forward purchase and sale contracts as follows (in millions):

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 fair 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/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 CME-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 CME butane futures agreements at September 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 October 2014 and November 2016

0.9 million barrels of butane
 
Between October 2014 and April 2015

(1)
Of the 4.0 million barrels of products we have economically hedged at September 30, 2014, we had open agreements which swap the pricing on 0.8 million of those barrels from New York harbor to Platts Group 3 or Platts Gulf Coast, which are the geographic locations where these barrels will be sold.

Energy Commodity Derivatives Contracts and Deposits Offsets

At September 30, 2014, we had made margin deposits of $0.1 million related to our NYMEX and CME 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

CME 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 CME 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 CME 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.

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 $11.0 million from the agreements as of September 30, 2014 were fully offset by a cumulative increase of $11.2 million to tank bottom inventory and a cumulative decrease 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.

Commitments and Contingencies

Environmental Liabilities

Liabilities recognized for estimated environmental costs were $38.5 million and $37.3 million at December 31, 2013 and September 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 nine months ended September 30, 2013 were $2.9 million and $(5.8) million, respectively, and the year-to-date amount included a $10.6 million favorable adjustment to a Clean Air Act – Section 185 liability recognized in second quarter 2013. Environmental expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 were $3.7 million and $4.1 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 September 30, 2014 were $5.2 million, of which $1.4 million and $3.8 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 September 30, 2014 total 1.4 million. The compensation committee of our general partner’s board of directors administers our LTIP.
