NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED AND CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollars in thousands, except where otherwise indicated)
June 30, 2017
(Unaudited)




(1)
General

Martin Midstream Partners L.P. (the "Partnership") is a publicly traded limited partnership with a diverse set of operations focused primarily in the United States ("U.S.") Gulf Coast region. Its four primary business lines include:  natural gas services, including liquids transportation and distribution services and natural gas storage; terminalling and storage services for petroleum products and by-products including the refining of naphthenic crude oil, blending and packaging of finished lubricants; sulfur and sulfur-based products processing, manufacturing, marketing and distribution; and marine transportation services for petroleum products and by-products.
 
The Partnership’s unaudited consolidated and condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of Form 10-Q and U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, these financial statements have been condensed and do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for annual audited financial statements of the type contained in the Partnership’s annual reports on Form 10-K. In the opinion of the management of the Partnership’s general partner, all adjustments and elimination of significant intercompany balances necessary for a fair presentation of the Partnership’s financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods shown have been made. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Results for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the full year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Partnership’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Partnership’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on February 15, 2017, as amended by Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2016 filed on March 31, 2017.

Management has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities to prepare these consolidated and condensed financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2017-04 “Intangibles-Goodwill and other: Simplifying the test for goodwill impairment.” This ASU removes the second step of the two-step test currently required under the current guidance. An entity will apply a one-step quantitative test and record the amount of goodwill impairment as the excess of a reporting unit's carrying amount over its fair value, not to exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. The new guidance does not amend the optional qualitative assessment of goodwill impairment. This ASU is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The Partnership elected to early adopt this amended guidance effective January 1, 2017. The Partnership expects that adoption of this standard will change its approach for testing goodwill for impairment; however, this standard requires prospective application and therefore will only impact periods subsequent to adoption.

In August 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows: Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. This ASU is intended to clarify the presentation of cash receipts and payments in specific situations. The amendments in this ASU are effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those annual periods, and early application is permitted. The Partnership does not anticipate that ASU 2016-15 will have a material effect on its consolidated and condensed financial statements and related disclosures.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases.  This ASU amends the existing accounting standards for lease accounting, including requiring lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets and making targeted changes to lessor accounting. ASU 2016-02 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption of this standard is permitted. The standard requires a modified retrospective transition approach for all leases existing at, or entered into after, the date of initial application, with an option to use certain transition relief.  The Partnership is evaluating the effect that ASU 2016-02 will have on its consolidated and condensed financial statements and related disclosures.

(Unaudited)



In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The ASU will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective. The new standard is effective for the Partnership on January 1, 2018. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The Partnership is currently determining the overall impacts that ASU 2014-09 will have on its contract portfolio and consolidated financial statements, and anticipate testing its new controls and processes designed to comply with ASU 2014-09 throughout 2017 to permit adoption by January 1, 2018. The Partnership's approach will include performing a detailed review of key contracts representative of its different businesses and comparing historical accounting policies and practices to the new standard. The Partnership currently intends on adopting the new standard utilizing the cumulative effect method which will result in the cumulative effect of the adoption being recorded as of January 1, 2018. The Partnership has adopted a three-phase implementation approach and is currently in phase one of implementation, which includes performing contract review and a gap assessment in order to evaluate the effect the adoption of ASU 2014-09 will have on its consolidated and condensed financial statements.

Acquisitions

Acquisition of Terminalling Assets.    On February 22, 2017, the Partnership acquired 100% of the membership interests of MEH South Texas Terminals LLC (“MEH”), a subsidiary of Martin Resource Management, for a purchase price of $27,420 (the “Hondo Acquisition”), which was was funded with borrowings under the Partnership's revolving credit facility. At the date of acquisition, MEH was in the process of constructing an asphalt terminal facility in Hondo, Texas (the "Hondo Terminal”), which will serve the asphalt market in San Antonio, Texas and surrounding areas. The Partnership will spend $8,580 to finalize construction of the Hondo Terminal with substantial completion expected to be on or about August 31, 2017.  Martin Resource Management is obligated to pay the Partnership the amount required to complete the construction of the Hondo Terminal in excess of $8,580, if any. As of June 30, 2017, the Partnership has spent $4,779 towards project construction since the acquisition on February 22, 2017. This acquisition is considered a transfer of net assets between entities under common control. The acquisition of these assets was recorded at the historical carrying value of the assets at the acquisition date. The excess of the purchase price over the carrying value of the assets of $7,887 was recorded as an adjustment to "Partners' capital."

As no individual line item of the historical financial statements of the acquired assets was in excess of 3% of the Partnership's relative consolidated financial statement captions, the Partnership elected not to retrospectively recast the historical financial information to include these assets.

Divestitures and discontinued operations

Long-Lived Assets Held for Sale

In the fourth quarter of 2016, the Partnership identified certain assets that were no longer deemed core to the operations of the Partnership in the Smackover refinery and Martin Lubricants divisions of the Terminalling and Storage segment as well as the inland and offshore divisions of the Marine Transportation segment. At June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the assets met the criteria to be classified as held for sale in accordance with ASC 360-10 and are presented at the lower of the assets' carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell by segment in current assets as follows:

Divestitures

Divestiture of Terminalling Assets. On December 21, 2016, the Partnership sold its 900,000 barrel crude oil storage terminal, refined product barge terminal, certain pipelines and related easements as well as dockage and trans-loading assets located in Corpus Christi, Texas (collectively the "CCCT Assets") to NuStar Logistics, L.P. (“NuStar”) for gross consideration of $107,000 plus the reimbursement of certain capital expenditures and prepaid items of $2,057. The Partnership received net proceeds of approximately $93,347 after transaction fees and expenses as well as the application of certain net cash payments previously received by the Partnership in conjunction with its mandated relocation of certain dockage assets to the purchase price in the amount of $13,400. Proceeds from the sale were used to reduce outstanding borrowings under the Partnership's revolving credit facility. The Partnership recorded a gain from the divestiture of $37,345, which was included in "Other operating income, net" on the Partnership's Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2016. Net income attributable to the CCCT Assets included in the Partnership's Consolidated Statements of Operations was $1,697 and $3,513 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively.

The divestiture of the CCCT Assets did not qualify for discontinued operations presentation under the guidance of ASC 205-20.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

The Partnership’s revenues and cost of products sold are materially impacted by changes in NGL prices. Additionally, the Partnership's results of operations are materially impacted by changes in interest rates. In an effort to manage its exposure to these risks, the Partnership periodically enters into various derivative instruments, including commodity and interest rate hedges. All derivatives and hedging instruments are included on the balance sheet as an asset or a liability measured at fair value and changes in fair value are recognized currently in earnings. All of the Partnership's derivatives are non-hedge derivatives and therefore all changes in fair values are recognized as gains and losses in the earnings of the periods in which they occur.

(a)    Commodity Derivative Instruments

The Partnership from time to time has used derivatives to manage the risk of commodity price fluctuation. Commodity risk is the adverse effect on the value of a liability or future purchase that results from a change in commodity price.  The Partnership has established a hedging policy and monitors and manages the commodity market risk associated with potential commodity risk exposure.  In addition, the Partnership has focused on utilizing counterparties for these transactions whose financial condition is appropriate for the credit risk involved in each specific transaction. The Partnership has entered into hedging transactions as of June 30, 2017 to protect a portion of its commodity price risk exposure. These hedging arrangements are in the form of swaps for NGLs. The Partnership has instruments totaling a gross notional quantity of 128,000 barrels settling during the period from July 1, 2017 through December 29, 2017. At December 31, 2016, the Partnership had instruments totaling a gross notional quantity of 2,589 barrels settling during the period from January 1, 2017 through June 30, 2017. These instruments settle against the applicable pricing source for each grade and location. Martin Energy Trading LLC ("MET"), an affiliate of Martin Resource Management, serves as the counterparty for all positions outstanding at June 30, 2017.

(b)    Interest Rate Derivative Instruments

The Partnership is exposed to market risks associated with interest rates. Market risk is the adverse effect on the value of a financial instrument that results from a change in interest rates. We minimize this market risk by establishing and

MARTIN MIDSTREAM PARTNERS L.P.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED AND CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollars in thousands, except where otherwise indicated)
June 30, 2017
(Unaudited)



monitoring parameters that limit the types and degree of market risk that may be undertaken. The Partnership enters into interest rate swaps to manage interest rate risk associated with the Partnership’s variable rate credit facility and its fixed rate senior unsecured notes. At June 30, 2017, the Partnership did not have any outstanding interest rate derivative instruments.

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Partnership entered into contracts which provided the counterparty the option to enter into swap contracts to hedge the Partnership's exposure to changes in the fair value of its senior unsecured notes ("interest rate swaptions") through June 30, 2016. In connection with the interest rate swaption contracts, the Partnership received premiums of $630, which represented their fair value on the date the transactions were initiated and were initially recorded as derivative liabilities on the Partnership's Consolidated and Condensed Balance Sheets, during the six months ended June 30, 2016. Each of the interest rate swaptions were fully amortized as of June 30, 2016. Interest rate swaption contract premiums received are amortized over the period from initiation of the contract through their termination date. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Partnership recognized $630 of premiums in "Interest expense, net" on the Partnership's Consolidated and Condensed Statements of Operations related to the interest rate swaption contracts.

On January 7, 2016, the Partnership terminated a fixed-to-variable interest rate swap position with a notional principal amount of $50,000, resulting in a benefit of $366, which was recorded in "Interest expense, net" on the Partnership's Consolidated and Condensed Statement of Operations.
   
For information regarding gains and losses on interest rate derivative instruments, see "Tabular Presentation of Gains and Losses on Derivative Instruments" below.

Fair Value Measurements

The Partnership uses a valuation framework based upon inputs that market participants use in pricing certain assets and liabilities. These inputs are classified into two categories: observable inputs and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs represent market data obtained from independent sources. Unobservable inputs represent the Partnership's own market assumptions. Unobservable inputs are used only if observable inputs are unavailable or not reasonably available without undue cost and effort. The two types of inputs are further prioritized into the following hierarchy:

Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Observable market based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs that reflect the entity's own assumptions and are not corroborated by market data.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below:
 
Level 2

December 31, 2016
Commodity derivative contracts, net
$
133

 
$
(3,904
)

           
The Partnership is required to disclose estimated fair values for its financial instruments. Fair value estimates are set forth below for these financial instruments. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument:

Accounts and other receivables, trade and other accounts payable, accrued interest payable, other accrued liabilities, income taxes payable and due from/to affiliates: The carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the short maturity and highly liquid nature of these instruments, and as such these have been excluded from the table below. There is negligible credit risk associated with these instruments.

Note receivable and long-term debt including current portion: The carrying amount of the revolving credit facility approximates fair value due to the debt having a variable interest rate and is in Level 2. The Partnership has not had any indicators which represent a change in the market spread associated with its variable interest rate debt. The estimated fair value of the senior unsecured notes is considered Level 1, as the fair value is based on quoted market prices in active markets. The estimated fair value of the note receivable - affiliates was determined by calculating the net present value of the payments over the life of the note. The note is considered Level 3 due to the lack of observable inputs for similar transactions between related parties.

1 Interest rate fluctuates based on the LIBOR rate plus an applicable margin set on the date of each advance. The margin above LIBOR is set every three months. Indebtedness under the credit facility bears interest at LIBOR plus an applicable margin or the base prime rate plus an applicable margin. All amounts outstanding at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 were at LIBOR plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin for revolving loans that are LIBOR loans ranges from 2.00% to 3.00% and the applicable margin for revolving loans that are base prime rate loans ranges from 1.00% to

2.00%.  The applicable margin for existing LIBOR borrowings at June 30, 2017 is 2.75%. The credit facility contains various covenants which limit the Partnership’s ability to make certain investments and acquisitions; enter into certain agreements; incur indebtedness; sell assets; and make certain amendments to the Partnership's omnibus agreement with Martin Resource Management (the "Omnibus Agreement"). The Partnership is permitted to make quarterly distributions so long as no event of default exists.

2 The Partnership is in compliance with all debt covenants as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

3 The 2021 indenture restricts the Partnership’s ability to sell assets; pay distributions or repurchase units or redeem or repurchase subordinated debt; make investments; incur or guarantee additional indebtedness or issue preferred units; and consolidate, merge or transfer all or substantially all of its assets. Many of these covenants will terminate if the notes achieve an investment grade rating from each of Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. and Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services and no default (as defined in the indenture) has occurred.

The Partnership paid cash interest, net of proceeds received from interest rate swaptions and capitalized interest, in the amount of $4,328 and $4,757 for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.  The Partnership paid cash interest, net of proceeds received from interest rate swaptions and capitalized interest, in the amount of $22,509 and $22,116 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.  Capitalized interest was $222 and $358 for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Capitalized interest was $445 and $682 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Partners' Capital

As of June 30, 2017, Partners’ capital consisted of 38,452,112 common limited partner units, representing a 98% partnership interest, and a 2% general partner interest. Martin Resource Management, through subsidiaries, owns 6,264,532 of the Partnership's common limited partner units representing approximately 16.3% of the Partnership's outstanding common limited partner units. Martin Midstream GP LLC ("MMGP"), the Partnership's general partner, owns the 2% general partnership interest. Martin Resource Management controls the Partnership's general partner, by virtue of its 51% voting interest in MMGP Holdings, LLC ("Holdings"), the sole member of the Partnership's general partner.

The partnership agreement of the Partnership (the "Partnership Agreement") contains specific provisions for the allocation of net income and losses to each of the partners for purposes of maintaining their respective partner capital accounts.

Issuance of Common Units

On February 22, 2017, the Partnership completed a public offering of 2,990,000 common units at a price of $18.00 per common unit, before the payment of underwriters' discounts, commissions and offering expenses (per unit value is in dollars, not thousands). Total proceeds from the sale of the 2,990,000 common units, net of underwriters' discounts, commissions and offering expenses, were $51,071. Additionally, the Partnership's general partner contributed $1,098 in cash to the Partnership in conjunction with the issuance in order to maintain its 2.0% general partner interest in the Partnership. All of the net proceeds were used to pay down outstanding amounts under the Partnership's revolving credit facility.

Incentive Distribution Rights

MMGP holds a 2% general partner interest and certain incentive distribution rights ("IDRs") in the Partnership. IDRs are a separate class of non-voting limited partner interest that may be transferred or sold by the general partner under the terms of the Partnership Agreement, and represent the right to receive an increasing percentage of cash distributions after the minimum quarterly distribution and any cumulative arrearages on common units once certain target distribution levels have been achieved. The Partnership is required to distribute all of its available cash from operating surplus, as defined in the Partnership Agreement. The general partner was allocated $0 and $3,893 in incentive distributions during the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The general partner was allocated $0 and $7,786 in incentive distributions during the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.
 
The target distribution levels entitle the general partner to receive 2% of quarterly cash distributions from the minimum of $0.50 per unit up to $0.55 per unit, 15% of quarterly cash distributions in excess of $0.55 per unit until all

unitholders have received $0.625 per unit, 25% of quarterly cash distributions in excess of $0.625 per unit until all unitholders have received $0.75 per unit and 50% of quarterly cash distributions in excess of $0.75 per unit.
 
Distributions of Available Cash

The Partnership distributes all of its available cash (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) within 45 days after the end of each quarter to unitholders of record and to the general partner. Available cash is generally defined as all cash and cash equivalents of the Partnership on hand at the end of each quarter less the amount of cash reserves its general partner determines in its reasonable discretion is necessary or appropriate to: (i) provide for the proper conduct of the Partnership’s business; (ii) comply with applicable law, any debt instruments or other agreements; or (iii) provide funds for distributions to unitholders and the general partner for any one or more of the next four quarters, plus all cash on the date of determination of available cash for the quarter resulting from working capital borrowings made after the end of the quarter.

Net Income per Unit

The Partnership follows the provisions of the FASB ASC 260-10 related to earnings per share, which addresses the application of the two-class method in determining income per unit for master limited partnerships having multiple classes of securities that may participate in partnership distributions accounted for as equity distributions. Undistributed earnings are allocated to the general partner and limited partners utilizing the contractual terms of the Partnership Agreement. Distributions to the general partner pursuant to the IDRs are limited to available cash that will be distributed as defined in the Partnership Agreement. Accordingly, the Partnership does not allocate undistributed earnings to the general partner for the IDRs because the general partner's share of available cash is the maximum amount that the general partner would be contractually entitled to receive if all earnings for the period were distributed. When current period distributions are in excess of earnings, the excess distributions for the period are to be allocated to the general partner and limited partners based on their respective sharing of income and losses specified in the Partnership Agreement. Additionally, as required under FASB ASC 260-10-45-61A, unvested share-based payments that entitle employees to receive non-forfeitable distributions are considered participating securities, as defined in FASB ASC 260-10-20, for earnings per unit calculations.

For purposes of computing diluted net income per unit, the Partnership uses the more dilutive of the two-class and if-converted methods. Under the if-converted method, the weighted-average number of subordinated units outstanding for the period is added to the weighted-average number of common units outstanding for purposes of computing basic net income per unit and the resulting amount is compared to the diluted net income per unit computed using the two-class method. The following is a reconciliation of net income allocated to the general partner and limited partners for purposes of calculating net income attributable to limited partners per unit:

Related Party Transactions

As of June 30, 2017, Martin Resource Management owns 6,264,532 of the Partnership’s common units representing approximately 16.3% of the Partnership’s outstanding limited partner units.  Martin Resource Management controls the Partnership's general partner by virtue of its 51% voting interest in Holdings, the sole member of the Partnership's general partner. The Partnership’s general partner, MMGP, owns a 2% general partner interest in the Partnership and the Partnership’s IDRs.  The Partnership’s general partner’s ability, as general partner, to manage and operate the Partnership, and Martin Resource Management’s ownership as of June 30, 2017, of approximately 16.3% of the Partnership’s outstanding limited partner units, effectively gives Martin Resource Management the ability to veto some of the Partnership’s actions and to control the Partnership’s management.
 
The following is a description of the Partnership’s material related party agreements and transactions:
 
Omnibus Agreement
 
       Omnibus Agreement.  The Partnership and its general partner are parties to the Omnibus Agreement dated November 1, 2002, with Martin Resource Management that governs, among other things, potential competition and indemnification obligations among the parties to the agreement, related party transactions, the provision of general administration and support services by Martin Resource Management and the Partnership’s use of certain Martin Resource Management trade names and trademarks.
