ENTERPRISE PRODUCTS PARTNERS L.P.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

With the exception of per unit amounts, or as noted within the context of each disclosure,
the dollar amounts presented in the tabular data within these disclosures are
stated in millions of dollars.

KEY REFERENCES USED IN THESE
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Unless the context requires otherwise, references to “we,” “us,” “our” or “Enterprise” are intended to mean the business and operations of Enterprise Products Partners L.P. and its consolidated subsidiaries.  References to “EPD” or the “Partnership” mean Enterprise Products Partners L.P. on a standalone basis.  References to “EPO” mean Enterprise Products Operating LLC, which is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of EPD, and its consolidated subsidiaries, through which EPD conducts its business.  Enterprise is managed by its general partner, Enterprise Products Holdings LLC (“Enterprise GP”), which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Dan Duncan LLC, a privately held Texas limited liability company.

The membership interests of Dan Duncan LLC are owned by a voting trust, the current trustees (“DD LLC Trustees”) of which are: (i) Randa Duncan Williams, who is also a director and Chairman of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Enterprise GP; (ii) Richard H. Bachmann, who is also a director and Vice Chairman of the Board of Enterprise GP; and (iii) Dr. Ralph S. Cunningham, who is also an advisory director of Enterprise GP.  Ms. Duncan Williams and Mr. Bachmann also currently serve as managers of Dan Duncan LLC along with W. Randall Fowler, who is also a director and the Co-Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of Enterprise GP.

References to “EPCO” mean Enterprise Products Company, a privately held Texas corporation, and its privately held affiliates.  A majority of the outstanding voting capital stock of EPCO is owned by a voting trust, the current trustees (“EPCO Trustees”) of which are:  (i) Ms. Duncan Williams, who serves as Chairman of EPCO; (ii) Dr. Cunningham, who serves as Vice Chairman of EPCO; and (iii) Mr. Bachmann, who serves as the President and Chief Executive Officer of EPCO.  Ms. Duncan Williams and Mr. Bachmann also currently serve as directors of EPCO along with Mr. Fowler, who is also the Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of EPCO. EPCO, together with its privately held affiliates, owned approximately 32.1% of EPD’s limited partner common units at June 30, 2020.


Note 1.  Partnership Organization and Basis of Presentation

We are a publicly traded Delaware limited partnership, the common units of which are listed on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the ticker symbol “EPD.”  We were formed in April 1998 to own and operate certain natural gas liquids (“NGLs”) related businesses of EPCO and are a leading North American provider of midstream energy services to producers and consumers of natural gas, NGLs, crude oil, petrochemicals and refined products. 

We conduct substantially all of our business through EPO and are owned 100% by EPD’s limited partners from an economic perspective.  Enterprise GP manages our partnership and owns a non-economic general partner interest in us.  We, Enterprise GP, EPCO and Dan Duncan LLC are affiliates under the collective common control of the DD LLC Trustees and the EPCO Trustees.  Like many publicly traded partnerships, we have no employees.  All of our management, administrative and operating functions are performed by employees of EPCO pursuant to an administrative services agreement (the “ASA”) or by other service providers.  See Note 15 for information regarding related party matters.

Our results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of results expected for the full year of 2020.  In our opinion, the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include all adjustments consisting of normal recurring accruals necessary for fair presentation.  Although we believe the disclosures in these financial statements are adequate and make the information presented not misleading, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with United States (“U.S.”) generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

ENTERPRISE PRODUCTS PARTNERS L.P.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

These Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto 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, 2019  (the “2019 Form 10-K”) filed with the SEC on February 28, 2020.


Note 2.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Apart from those matters noted below, there have been no changes in our significant accounting policies since those reported under Note 2 of the 2019 Form 10-K.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

The following table provides a reconciliation of cash and cash equivalents, and restricted cash reported within the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets that sum to the total of the amounts shown in the Unaudited Condensed Statements of Consolidated Cash Flows.

Restricted cash primarily represents amounts held in segregated bank accounts by our clearing brokers as margin in support of our commodity derivative instruments portfolio and related physical purchases and sales of natural gas, NGLs, crude oil, refined products and power.  Additional cash may be restricted to maintain our commodity derivative instruments portfolio as prices fluctuate or margin requirements change.  See Note 14 for information regarding our derivative instruments and hedging activities.

Recent Accounting Developments

Credit Losses
In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.  The new guidance, referred to as the current expected credit loss model, requires the measurement of  expected credit losses for financial assets (e.g., accounts receivable) held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current economic conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts.  These result in the more timely recognition of losses.  The adoption of this new guidance on January 1, 2020 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Fair Value Measurement
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurements (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, which amended the disclosure requirements related to fair value measurements in an effort to enhance the overall usefulness of the disclosures and reduce costs by eliminating certain disclosures that were not considered to be decision-useful for users of the financial statements.  The ASU will now require incremental disclosures regarding changes in unrealized gains and losses, significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements and measurement uncertainty.  Additionally, the ASU eliminated certain policy and process disclosures and reporting requirements.

The adoption of this new guidance on January 1, 2020 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.  See Note 14 for information regarding our fair value measurements.

ENTERPRISE PRODUCTS PARTNERS L.P.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


Goodwill
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. This ASU simplifies the accounting for goodwill impairment by removing Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test, which requires a hypothetical purchase price allocation. Goodwill impairment will now be the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill.  We adopted this guidance on January 1, 2020 for future goodwill impairment testing.

(1)
Depreciation expense is a component of “Costs and expenses” as presented on our Unaudited Condensed Statements of Consolidated Operations.
(2)
We capitalize interest costs incurred on funds used to construct property, plant and equipment while the asset is in its construction phase.  The capitalized interest is recorded as part of the asset to which it relates and is amortized over the asset’s estimated useful life as a component of depreciation expense.  When capitalized interest is recorded, it reduces interest expense from what it would be otherwise.

Asset Retirement Obligations

Property, plant and equipment at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 includes $70.3 million and $69.6 million, respectively, of asset retirement costs capitalized as an increase in the associated long-lived asset.  The following table presents information regarding our asset retirement obligations, or AROs, since December 31, 2019:

Expected Renewal of September 2019 364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement

EPO’s September 2019 364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement is scheduled to mature in September 2020.  As a result, EPO expects to renew this credit agreement during the third quarter of 2020.  At June 30, 2020, there were no principal amounts outstanding under the September 2019 364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement. 

April 2020 364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement

In April 2020, EPO entered into an additional 364-day revolving credit agreement (the “April 2020 364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement”). The new agreement provides EPO with an incremental $1.0 billion of borrowing capacity, thereby increasing its overall borrowing capacity under its revolving credit agreements to $6.0 billion.  Under the terms of the April 2020 364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement, EPO may borrow up to $1.0 billion at a variable interest rate for a term of 364 days, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein.  EPO may use proceeds from borrowings under the April 2020 364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions and other company purposes.

Senior Notes Offering in January 2020

In January 2020, EPO issued $3.0 billion aggregate principal amount of senior notes comprised of (i) $1.0 billion principal amount of senior notes due January 2030 (“Senior Notes AAA”), (ii) $1.0 billion principal amount of senior notes due January 2051 (“Senior Notes BBB”) and (iii) $1.0 billion principal amount of senior notes due January 2060 (“Senior Notes CCC”).   Net proceeds from this offering were used by EPO for the repayment of $500 million principal amount of its Senior Notes Q that matured in January 2020, temporary repayment of amounts outstanding under its commercial paper program and for general company purposes.  In addition, net proceeds from this offering will be used by EPO for the repayment of $1.0 billion principal amount of its Senior Notes Y upon their maturity in September 2020.

Senior Notes AAA were issued at 99.921% of their principal amount and have a fixed-rate interest rate of 2.80% per year.  Senior Notes BBB were issued at 99.413% of their principal amount and have a fixed-rate interest rate of 3.70% per year.  Senior Notes CCC were issued at 99.360% of their principal amount and have a fixed-rate interest rate of 3.95% per year.  EPD guaranteed these senior notes through an unconditional guarantee on an unsecured and unsubordinated basis.

See Note 19 for a subsequent event involving the reopening of Senior Notes AAA and the issuance of $1.25 billion aggregate principal amount of new senior notes in August 2020.

We have a universal shelf registration statement (the “2019 Shelf”) on file with the SEC which allows EPD and EPO (each on a standalone basis) to issue an unlimited amount of equity and debt securities, respectively. EPO issued $3.0 billion of senior notes in January 2020 using the 2019 Shelf (see Note 7).

In addition, EPD has a registration statement on file with the SEC covering the issuance of up to $2.54 billion of its common units in amounts, at prices and on terms to be determined by market conditions and other factors at the time of such offerings in connection with its at-the-market (“ATM”) program.  During the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, EPD did not issue any common units under its ATM program.  After taking into account the aggregate sales price of common units sold under the ATM program through June 30, 2020, EPD has the capacity to issue additional common units under its ATM program up to an aggregate sales price of $2.54 billion.

We may issue additional equity and debt securities to assist us in meeting our future liquidity requirements, including those related to capital investments.

Settlement of Liquidity Option in March 2020
On February 25, 2020, the Partnership received notice from Marquard & Bahls AG (“M&B”) of its election to exercise its rights (the “Liquidity Option”) under the Liquidity Option Agreement among EPD, OTA Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation previously named Oiltanking Holding Americas, Inc. (“OTA”), and M&B dated October 1, 2014 (the “Liquidity Option Agreement”).  On March 5, 2020, we settled our obligations under the Liquidity Option Agreement by issuing 54,807,352 new EPD common units to Skyline North Americas, Inc. (“Skyline,” an affiliate of M&B) in exchange for the capital stock of OTA.  Upon settlement of the Liquidity Option, we indirectly acquired the 54,807,352 EPD common units owned by OTA (which were issued to OTA in October 2014) and assumed all future income tax obligations of OTA, including its deferred tax liability.  At March 5, 2020, OTA’s assets and liabilities consisted primarily of the EPD common units it owned and the related deferred tax liability, respectively.

At March 5, 2020, our accrual for the Liquidity Option liability was $511.9 million.  The Liquidity Option liability, at any measurement date, represents the present value of estimated federal and state income taxes that we believe a market participant would incur due to ownership of OTA, including its deferred income tax liabilities.  OTA’s deferred tax liability at March 5, 2020 was $439.7 million.  The market value of the new EPD common units issued to Skyline was $1.3 billion based on a closing price of $23.67 per unit on March 5, 2020.

The 54,807,352 new EPD common units issued to Skyline upon settlement of the Liquidity Option constitute “restricted securities” in the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and may not be resold except pursuant to an effective registration statement or an available exemption under the Securities Act.  In connection with the settlement of the Liquidity Option, Enterprise entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with Skyline. Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, Skyline has the right to request that we prepare and file a registration statement to permit and otherwise facilitate the public resale of all or a portion of such EPD common units that Skyline and its affiliates then own.  Our obligation to Skyline to effect such transactions is limited to five registration statements and underwritten offerings.  In May 2020, we filed a registration statement on behalf of Skyline for the resale of up to 54,807,352 EPD common units. This registration statement is effective and, in June 2020, we filed a prospectus supplement to this registration statement that allows Skyline to sell up to $500 million of the EPD common units it owns in connection with an “at-the-market” program that it administers.   We will not receive any proceeds from such offerings.

As a result of the Liquidity Option settlement, the partners’ equity balance for common units (as presented on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet) increased by the $1.3 billion market value of the new EPD common units issued to Skyline.  Since OTA does not meet the definition of a business as described in ASC 805, Business Combinations, the acquisition of OTA was accounted for as the purchase of treasury units and assumption of the related deferred tax liability.  In consolidation, we present the 54,807,352 EPD common units owned by OTA as treasury units, with their historical cost based on the $1.3 billion market value of the 54,807,352 new EPD common units issued to Skyline.

Upon settlement of the Liquidity Option, the Liquidity Option liability was effectively replaced by the deferred tax liability of OTA as calculated in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes.  See Note 11 for additional information regarding OTA’s deferred tax liability.

Common Unit Repurchases Under 2019 Buyback Program
In January 2019, we announced that the Board of Enterprise GP had approved a $2.0 billion multi-year unit buyback program (the “2019 Buyback Program”), which provides EPD with an additional method to return capital to investors. The 2019 Buyback Program authorizes EPD to repurchase its common units from time to time, including through open market purchases and negotiated transactions.  The timing and pace of buy backs under the program will be determined by a number of factors including (i) our financial performance and flexibility, (ii) organic growth and acquisition opportunities with higher potential returns on investment, (iii) EPD’s unit price and implied cash flow yield and (iv) maintaining targeted financial leverage with a debt-to-normalized adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) ratio of approximately 3.5 times. No time limit has been set for completion of the program, and it may be suspended or discontinued at any time.

ENTERPRISE PRODUCTS PARTNERS L.P.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


In January 2020, management announced its intention to use approximately 2.0% of net cash flow provided by operating activities, or cash flow from operations (“CFFO”), in 2020 to repurchase EPD common units under the 2019 Buyback Program.  EPD repurchased 6,357,739 common units under the 2019 Buyback Program through open market purchases during the six months ended June 30, 2020.  The total purchase price of these repurchases (including commissions and fees) was $140.1 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, EPD repurchased 2,909,128 common units under the 2019 Buyback Program for a total purchase price of $81.1 million.  The units repurchased during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 were immediately cancelled upon acquisition.  At June 30, 2020, the remaining available capacity under the 2019 Buyback Program was $1.78 billion.

Common Units Issued in Connection With the Vesting of Phantom Unit Awards
During the six months ended June 30, 2020, after taking into account tax withholding requirements, EPD issued a net 3,008,404 new common units to employees in connection with the vesting of phantom unit awards.  See Note 13 for information regarding our phantom unit awards.

Common Units Delivered Under DRIP and EUPP
EPD has registration statements on file with the SEC in connection with its distribution reinvestment plan (“DRIP”) and employee unit purchase plan (“EUPP”). In July 2019, EPD announced that, beginning with the quarterly distribution payment paid in August 2019, it would use common units purchased on the open market, rather than issuing new common units, to satisfy its delivery obligations under the DRIP and EUPP.  This election is subject to change in future quarters depending on the partnership’s need for equity capital.  During the six months ended June 30, 2020, a total of 3,379,971 common units were purchased on the open market and delivered to participants in connection with the DRIP and EUPP.  Apart from $1.3 million attributable to the plan discount available to all participants in the EUPP, the funds used to effect these purchases were sourced from the DRIP and EUPP participants.  No other partnership funds were used to satisfy these obligations.  We plan to use open market purchases to satisfy DRIP and EUPP reinvestments in connection with the distribution expected to be paid on August 12, 2020.

Cash Distributions

On July 7, 2020, we announced that the Board declared a quarterly cash distribution to be paid to our limited partners with respect to the second quarter of 2020 of $0.4450 per common unit, or $1.78 per unit on an annualized basis.  The quarterly distribution associated with the second quarter of 2020 is payable on August 12, 2020, to unitholders of record as of the close of business on July 31, 2020.  This distribution represents a 1.1% increase over the distribution declared with respect to the second quarter of 2019.

In light of current economic conditions, management will evaluate future cash distributions in 2020 on a quarterly basis.  The payment of any quarterly cash distribution is subject to Board approval and management’s evaluation of our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows in connection with such payments.

Note 10.  Business Segments and Related Information

Our operations are reported under four business segments: (i) NGL Pipelines & Services, (ii) Crude Oil Pipelines & Services, (iii) Natural Gas Pipelines & Services and (iv) Petrochemical & Refined Products Services.

Segment Gross Operating Margin

We evaluate segment performance based on our financial measure of gross operating margin.  Gross operating margin is an important performance measure of the core profitability of our operations and forms the basis of our internal financial reporting.  We believe that investors benefit from having access to the same financial measures that our management uses in evaluating segment results.  Gross operating margin is exclusive of other income and expense transactions, income taxes, the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles and extraordinary charges.  Gross operating margin is presented on a 100% basis before any allocation of earnings to noncontrolling interests. Our calculation of gross operating margin may or may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

The following table presents our measurement of total segment gross operating margin for the periods presented.  The GAAP financial measure most directly comparable to total segment gross operating margin is operating income.

(1)
Since make-up rights entail a future performance obligation by the pipeline to the shipper, these receipts are recorded as deferred revenue for GAAP purposes; however, these receipts are included in gross operating margin in the period of receipt since they are nonrefundable to the shipper.
(2)
As deferred revenues attributable to make-up rights are subsequently recognized as revenue under GAAP, gross operating margin must be adjusted to remove such amounts to prevent duplication since the associated non-refundable payments were previously included in gross operating margin.

Gross operating margin by segment is calculated by subtracting segment operating costs and expenses from segment revenues, with both segment totals reflecting the adjustments noted in the preceding table, as applicable, and before the elimination of intercompany transactions.  The following table presents gross operating margin by segment for the periods indicated:

Represents the cost of operating our plants, pipelines and other fixed assets excluding: depreciation, amortization and accretion charges; asset impairment and related charges; and net losses (or gains) attributable to asset sales.

Fluctuations in our product sales revenues and related cost of sales amounts are explained in part by changes in energy commodity prices.  In general, lower energy commodity prices result in a decrease in our revenues attributable to product sales; however, these lower commodity prices also decrease the associated cost of sales as purchase costs are lower.  The same type of correlation would be true in the case of higher energy commodity sales prices and purchase costs.

Note 11.  Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset-and-liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. We recognize the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not of being sustained. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs.  We did not rely on any uncertain tax positions in recording our income tax-related amounts during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019.

OTA Deferred Tax Liability

On March 5, 2020, we settled the Liquidity Option (see Note 8) and assumed OTA’s deferred tax liability, which reflects the outside basis difference of OTA in the 54,807,352 EPD common units it received in October 2014.  Upon settlement of the Liquidity Option, the Liquidity Option liability was effectively replaced by the deferred tax liability of OTA calculated in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes.  At March 5, 2020, the Liquidity Option liability amount was $511.9 million.  Since the book value of the Liquidity Option liability exceeded OTA’s estimated deferred tax liability of $439.7 million on that date, we recognized a non-cash benefit in earnings of $72.2 million, which is reflected in the “Benefit from (provision for) income tax” line on our Unaudited Condensed Statement of Consolidated Operations for the six months ended June 30, 2020.

The deferred tax liability of OTA is subject to fluctuation due to changes in the market value of the EPD common units it owns relative to its underlying tax basis in the units.  For example, if the market price of EPD common units increases between reporting dates, we expect to recognize deferred income tax expense in connection with an anticipated increase in OTA’s deferred tax liability.   Conversely, if the market price of EPD common units decreases between reporting dates, we expect to recognize a deferred income tax benefit in connection with an anticipated decrease in OTA’s deferred tax liability.  The following table presents changes in OTA’s deferred tax liability since the settlement date of March 5, 2020 to June 30, 2020:

The market price of EPD common units declined from $23.67 per unit at March 5, 2020 (settlement date of the Liquidity Option) to $18.17 per unit on June 30, 2020.

As presented in the preceding table, OTA recognized a net deferred income tax benefit of $64.5 million through June 30, 2020 primarily due to a decrease in the market value of its investment in EPD common units since March 5, 2020.  With respect to the second quarter of 2020, OTA recognized deferred income tax expense of $50.5 million primarily due to an increase in the market value of its investment in EPD common units since March 31, 2020.   The market price of EPD common units increased from $14.30 per unit at March 31, 2020 to $18.17 per unit on June 30, 2020.  In total, earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2020 reflect a net $136.7 million of deferred income tax benefit attributable to OTA.

The aggregate grant date fair value of phantom unit awards issued during 2020 was $190.3 million based on a grant date market price of EPD common units ranging from $17.24 to $25.76 per unit.  An estimated annual forfeiture rate of 2.4% was applied to these awards.

Each phantom unit award includes a distribution equivalent right (“DER”), which entitles the participant to nonforfeitable cash payments equal to the product of the number of phantom unit awards outstanding for the participant and the cash distribution per common unit paid by EPD to its common unitholders.  Cash payments made in connection with DERs are charged to partners’ equity when the phantom unit award is expected to result in the issuance of common units; otherwise, such amounts are expensed.

Profits Interest Awards

EPCO currently serves as the general partner for each of four limited partnerships (referred to as “Employee Partnerships”) that serve as long-term incentive arrangements for key employees of EPCO by providing such employees a profits interest in one or more of the Employee Partnerships.  The profits interest in a fifth Employee Partnership (EPD PubCo Unit I L.P.) fully vested in February 2020 and the partnership was liquidated.  At June 30, 2020, our share of the total unrecognized compensation cost related to the four remaining Employee Partnerships was $18.9 million, which we expect to recognize over a weighted-average period of 3.1 years.


Note 14.  Derivative Instruments, Hedging Activities and Fair Value Measurements

In the normal course of our business operations, we are exposed to certain risks, including changes in interest rates and commodity prices.  In order to manage risks associated with assets, liabilities and certain anticipated future transactions, we use derivative instruments such as futures, forward contracts, swaps, options and other instruments with similar characteristics.  Substantially all of our derivatives are used for non-trading activities.

Interest Rate Hedging Activities

We may utilize interest rate swaps, forward-starting swaps, options to enter into forward-starting swaps (“swaptions”), and similar derivative instruments to manage our exposure to changes in interest rates charged on borrowings under certain consolidated debt agreements.  This strategy may be used in controlling our overall cost of capital associated with such borrowings.

In January 2020, we terminated an aggregate $575 million notional amount of forward-starting swaps, which resulted in net cash payments of $33.3 million.  These swaps were unwound in connection with our issuance of Senior Notes BBB due January 2051.

Commodity Hedging Activities

The prices of natural gas, NGLs, crude oil, petrochemicals and refined products are subject to fluctuations in response to changes in supply and demand, market conditions and a variety of additional factors that are beyond our control.  In order to manage such price risks, we enter into commodity derivative instruments such as physical forward contracts, futures contracts, fixed-for-float swaps and basis swaps.

At June 30, 2020, our predominant commodity hedging strategies consisted of (i) hedging anticipated future purchases and sales of commodity products associated with transportation, storage and blending activities, (ii) hedging the fair value of commodity products held in inventory and (iii) hedging natural gas processing margins.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


Derivative assets and liabilities recorded on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets are presented on a gross-basis and determined at the individual transaction level.  The tabular presentation above provides a means for comparing the gross amount of derivative assets and liabilities, excluding associated accounts payable and receivable, to the net amount that would likely be receivable or payable under a default scenario based on the existence of rights of offset in the respective derivative agreements.  Any cash collateral paid or received is reflected in these tables, but only to the extent that it represents variation margins.  Any amounts associated with derivative prepayments or initial margins that are not influenced by the derivative asset or liability amounts or those that are determined solely on their volumetric notional amounts are excluded from these tables.

The $99.5 million gain recognized for the six months ended June 30, 2020 (as noted in the preceding table) from derivatives not designated as hedging instruments consists of $35.8 million of realized gains and $63.7 million of net unrealized mark-to-market gains attributable to commodity derivatives.

Fair Value Measurements

The following tables set forth, by level within the Level 1, 2 and 3 fair value hierarchy, the carrying values of our financial assets and liabilities at the dates indicated.  These assets and liabilities are measured on a recurring basis and are classified based on the lowest level of input used to estimate their fair value.  Our assessment of the relative significance of such inputs requires judgment.

The values for commodity derivatives are presented before and after the application of Chicago Mercantile Exchange (“CME”) Rule 814, which deems that financial instruments cleared by the CME are settled daily in connection with variation margin payments.  As a result of this exchange rule, CME-related derivatives are considered to have no fair value at the balance sheet date for financial reporting purposes; however, the derivatives remain outstanding and subject to future commodity price fluctuations until they are settled in accordance with their contractual terms.  Derivative transactions cleared on exchanges other than the CME (e.g., the Intercontinental Exchange or ICE) continue to be reported on a gross basis.

Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements

Non-cash asset impairment charges for the six months ended June 30, 2020 were $13.4 million compared to $11.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. Charges for 2020 primarily relate to assets retired during the quarter whose operations have ceased.  Impairment charges are a component of “Operating costs and expenses” on our Unaudited Condensed Statements of Consolidated Operations.

Other Fair Value Information

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents (including restricted cash balances), accounts receivable, commercial paper notes and accounts payable approximate their fair values based on their short-term nature.  The estimated total fair value of our fixed-rate debt obligations was $33.03 billion and $30.37 billion at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.  The aggregate carrying value of these debt obligations was $29.65 billion and $27.15 billion at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.  These values are primarily based on quoted market prices for such debt or debt of similar terms and maturities (Level 2) and our credit standing.  Changes in market rates of interest affect the fair value of our fixed-rate debt.  The carrying values of our variable-rate long-term debt obligations approximate their fair values since the associated interest rates are market-based.  We do not have any long-term investments in debt or equity securities recorded at fair value.

Relationship with EPCO and Affiliates

We have an extensive and ongoing relationship with EPCO and its privately held affiliates (including Enterprise GP, our general partner), which are not a part of our consolidated group of companies.  

At June 30, 2020, EPCO and its privately held affiliates (including Dan Duncan LLC and certain Duncan family trusts) beneficially owned the following limited partner interests in us:

Total Number
 of Units
Percentage of
Total Units
Outstanding
701,969,275
32.1%

Of the total number of units held by EPCO and its privately held affiliates, 88,222,618 have been pledged as security under the credit facilities of EPCO and its privately held affiliates at June 30, 2020.  These credit facilities contain customary and other events of default, including defaults by us and other affiliates of EPCO.  An event of default, followed by a foreclosure on the pledged collateral, could ultimately result in a change in ownership of these units and affect the market price of EPD’s common units.

We and Enterprise GP are both separate legal entities apart from each other and apart from EPCO and its other affiliates, with assets and liabilities that are also separate from those of EPCO and its other affiliates.  EPCO and its privately held affiliates depend on the cash distributions they receive from us and other investments to fund their other activities and to meet their debt obligations.  During the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, we paid EPCO and its privately held affiliates cash distributions totaling $605.5 million and $593.7 million, respectively.

From time-to-time, EPCO and its privately held affiliates elect to purchase additional common units under EPD’s DRIP and ATM program.  See Note 8 for additional information regarding the DRIP.

We have no employees.  All of our operating functions and general and administrative support services are provided by employees of EPCO pursuant to the ASA or by other service providers.  The following table presents our related party costs and expenses attributable to the ASA with EPCO for the periods indicated:

We lease office space from privately held affiliates of EPCO.  The rental rates in these lease agreements approximate market rates.  For the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, we recognized $2.9 million and $3.5 million, respectively, of related party operating lease expense in connection with these office space leases.  For the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, we recognized $6.3 million and $7.3 million, respectively, of related party operating lease expense in connection with these office space leases.


Note 16.  Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation

As part of our normal business activities, we may be named as defendants in legal proceedings, including those arising from regulatory and environmental matters.  Although we are insured against various risks to the extent we believe it is prudent, there is no assurance that the nature and amount of such insurance will be adequate, in every case, to fully indemnify us against losses arising from future legal proceedings.  We will vigorously defend the partnership in litigation matters.

ENTERPRISE PRODUCTS PARTNERS L.P.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


Our accruals for litigation contingencies were $0.2 million at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, and recorded in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as a component of “Other current liabilities.”  

Energy Transfer Matter
As reported in our 2019 Form 10-K, we prevailed on our appeal on January 31, 2020 when the Supreme Court of Texas unanimously affirmed the opinion of the Dallas Court of Appeals.  On March 6, 2020, the Supreme Court of Texas issued its mandate to the Dallas County Civil District Court, bringing this lawsuit and the resulting appeal to a close.

PDH Litigation
In July 2013, we executed a contract with Foster Wheeler USA Corporation (“Foster Wheeler”) pursuant to which Foster Wheeler was to serve as the general contractor responsible for the engineering, procurement, construction and installation of our initial propane dehydrogenation (“PDH 1”) facility.  In November 2014, Foster Wheeler was acquired by an affiliate of AMEC plc to form Amec Foster Wheeler plc, and Foster Wheeler is now known as Amec Foster Wheeler USA Corporation (“AFW”).  In December 2015, Enterprise and AFW entered into a transition services agreement under which AFW was partially terminated from the PDH 1 project.  In December 2015, Enterprise engaged a second contractor, Optimized Process Designs LLC, to complete the construction and installation of PDH 1.

On September 2, 2016, we terminated AFW for cause and filed a lawsuit in the 151st Judicial Civil District Court of Harris County, Texas against AFW and its parent company, Amec Foster Wheeler plc, asserting claims for breach of contract, breach of warranty, fraudulent inducement, string-along fraud, gross negligence, professional negligence, negligent misrepresentation and attorneys’ fees.  We intend to diligently prosecute these claims and seek all direct, consequential, and exemplary damages to which we may be entitled.

Contractual Obligations

Scheduled Maturities of Debt
We have long-term and short-term payment obligations under debt agreements.  In total, the principal amount of our consolidated debt obligations were $29.90 billion and $27.88 billion at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.  See Note 7 for additional information regarding our scheduled future maturities of debt principal.

Fixed lease expense is charged to earnings on a straight-line basis over the contractual term, with any variable lease payments expensed as incurred.  Short-term operating lease expense is expensed as incurred.  Cash paid for operating lease liabilities recorded on our balance sheet was $7.9 million and $12.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.  For the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 cash paid for operating lease liabilities was $18.3 million and $26.4 million, respectively.

We do not have any significant operating or direct financing leases where we are the lessor.  Our operating lease income for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 was $2.6 million and $2.4 million, respectively.  For the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 operating lease income was $6.1 million and $7.2 million, respectively.  We do not have any sales-type leases.

Our operating lease commitments at June 30, 2020 did not differ materially from those reported in our 2019 Form 10-K.

Purchase Obligations
We have contractual future product purchase commitments for natural gas, NGLs, crude oil, petrochemicals and refined products.  These commitments represent enforceable and legally binding agreements as of the reporting date.  Our product purchase commitments at June 30, 2020 declined by an estimated $8.63 billion when compared to those reported in our 2019 Form 10-K primarily due to lower NGL and crude oil prices in the six months ended June 30, 2020.  At June 30, 2020, our estimated long-term product purchase obligations totaled $11.94 billion after reflecting the decline in commodity prices, agreements added during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and those commitments that expired during the year.  At December 31, 2019, our estimated long-term product purchase obligations totaled $20.57 billion.

Settlement of Liquidity Option

Note 18.  Condensed Consolidating Financial Information

EPO conducts all of our business.  Currently, we have no independent operations and no material assets outside those of EPO.

EPO has issued publicly traded debt securities.  As the parent company of EPO, EPD guarantees substantially all of the debt obligations of EPO.  If EPO were to default on any of its guaranteed debt, EPD would be responsible for full and unconditional repayment of that obligation.  See Note 7 for additional information regarding our consolidated debt obligations.

EPO’s consolidated subsidiaries have no significant restrictions on their ability to pay distributions or make loans to EPD.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


Note 19.  Subsequent Events

Issuance of $1.25 Billion of Senior Notes in August 2020

In August 2020, EPO issued $1.0 billion in principal amount of 3.20% senior notes due February 2052 (“Senior Notes DDD”) and $250.0 million in principal amount of 2.80% reopened senior notes due January 2030 (“Senior Notes AAA”).  The reopened Senior Notes AAA and the Senior Notes DDD were issued at 107.211% and 99.233% of their principal amounts, respectively.

We received aggregate net proceeds of $1.25 billion from the sale of the notes after deducting underwriting discounts and other estimated offering expenses payable by us.  Net proceeds from the issuance of these senior notes will be used for general company purposes, including for growth capital investments, and to repay all or part of $750.0 million in principal amount of Senior Notes TT, which mature in February 2021.

The reopened Senior Notes AAA represent a re-opening of an outstanding series of EPO’s senior notes. EPO originally issued $1.0 billion principal amount of Senior Notes AAA on January 15, 2020. The reopened Senior Notes AAA will form a single series with the original notes of that series, will trade under the same CUSIP number, and will have the same terms as to status, redemption or otherwise as the original notes of that series.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

This quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains various forward-looking statements and information that are based on our beliefs and those of our general partner, as well as assumptions made by us and information currently available to us.  When used in this document, words such as “anticipate,” “project,” “expect,” “plan,” “seek,” “goal,” “estimate,” “forecast,” “intend,” “could,” “should,” “would,” “will,” “believe,” “may,” “potential” and similar expressions and statements regarding our plans and objectives for future operations are intended to identify forward-looking statements.  Although we and our general partner believe that our expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements (including the forward-looking statements/expectations of third parties referenced in this quarterly report) are reasonable, neither we nor our general partner can give any assurances that such expectations will prove to be correct.  Forward-looking statements are subject to a variety of risks, uncertainties and assumptions as described in more detail under Part I, Item 1A of our 2019 Form 10-K and within Part II, Item 1A of this quarterly report.  These risks include recent impacts of the coronavirus disease 2019 (“COVID-19”) and decreases in certain commodity prices resulting from demand weakness and oversupply, which are discussed in Part II, Item 1A “Risk Factors” of this quarterly report, and this Part I, Item 2.  If one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or if underlying assumptions prove incorrect, our actual results may vary materially from those anticipated, estimated, projected or expected.  You should not put undue reliance on any forward-looking statements.  The forward-looking statements in this quarterly report speak only as of the date hereof.  Except as required by federal and state securities laws, we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or any other reason.

Overview of Business

We are a publicly traded Delaware limited partnership, the common units of which are listed on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the ticker symbol “EPD.”  We were formed in April 1998 to own and operate certain natural gas liquids (“NGLs”) related businesses of EPCO and are a leading North American provider of midstream energy services to producers and consumers of natural gas, NGLs, crude oil, petrochemicals and refined products. 

Our integrated midstream energy asset network links producers of natural gas, NGLs and crude oil from some of the largest supply basins in the U.S., Canada and the Gulf of Mexico with domestic consumers and international markets.  Our midstream energy operations currently include: natural gas gathering, treating, processing, transportation and storage; NGL transportation, fractionation, storage, and export and import terminals (including those used to export liquefied petroleum gases, or “LPG,” and ethane); crude oil gathering, transportation, storage, and export and import terminals; petrochemical and refined products transportation, storage, export and import terminals, and related services; and a marine transportation business that operates primarily on the U.S. inland and Intracoastal Waterway systems. Our assets currently include approximately 50,000 miles of pipelines; 260 MMBbls of storage capacity for NGLs, crude oil, petrochemicals and refined products; and 14 Bcf of natural gas storage capacity.    

We conduct substantially all of our business through EPO and are owned 100% by EPD’s limited partners from an economic perspective.  Enterprise GP manages our partnership and owns a non-economic general partner interest in us.  We, Enterprise GP, EPCO and Dan Duncan LLC are affiliates under the collective common control of the DD LLC Trustees and the EPCO Trustees.  Like many publicly traded partnerships, we have no employees.  All of our management, administrative and operating functions are performed by employees of EPCO pursuant to an administrative services agreement (the “ASA”) or by other service providers.

Our operations are reported under four business segments:  (i) NGL Pipelines & Services, (ii) Crude Oil Pipelines & Services, (iii) Natural Gas Pipelines & Services, and (iv) Petrochemical & Refined Products Services.  Our business segments are generally organized and managed according to the types of services rendered (or technologies employed) and products produced and/or sold.

Each of our business segments benefits from the supporting role of our related marketing activities.  The main purpose of our marketing activities is to support the utilization and expansion of assets across our midstream energy asset network by increasing the volumes handled by such assets, which results in additional fee-based earnings for each business segment.  In performing these support roles, our marketing activities also seek to participate in supply and demand opportunities as a supplemental source of gross operating margin, a non-generally accepted accounting principle (“non-GAAP”) financial measure, for the partnership.  The financial results of our marketing efforts fluctuate due to changes in volumes handled and overall market conditions, which are influenced by current and forward market prices for the products bought and sold.

We provide investors access to additional information regarding our partnership, including information relating to our governance procedures and principles, through our website, www.enterpriseproducts.com.

Update on 2020 Outlook

As noted previously, this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, including this update to our 2020 Outlook, contains forward-looking statements that are based on our beliefs and those of our general partner, as well as assumptions made by us and information currently available to us, which includes forecast information published by third parties. See “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information” within this Part I, Item 2 and “Risk Factors” in Part II, Item 1A, for additional information.  The following update to our 2020 Outlook replaces the general outlook provided in our 2019 Form 10-K under Part II, Item 7 and presents our current views on key midstream energy supply and demand fundamentals. The third-party supply and demand forecasts cited in the following analysis, including our internal forecasts based on such information, remain subject to heightened levels of uncertainty because mitigation and reopening efforts related to COVID-19 continue to evolve.

The emergence of COVID-19 as a global pandemic in the first quarter of 2020 and the consequences of international COVID-19 containment measures (and the resulting near-term decline in end-user demand for hydrocarbons) have adversely impacted the global economy in general and the energy industry in particular. In addition, disputes between members of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (“OPEC”) and Russia (collectively, the “OPEC+” group) in March and April 2020 over crude oil production levels, resulted in major disruptions to global energy markets. Although the OPEC+ group and other producers subsequently reached agreements to reduce the oversupply of crude oil in the near-term caused by demand destruction attributable to COVID-19, the downturn in the energy industry has negatively impacted us, the producers we work with and our other customers to varying degrees.  As described in our 2019 Form 10-K, changes in the supply of and demand for hydrocarbon products impacts both the volume of products that we sell and the level of services that we provide to customers, which in turn has a direct impact on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Demand Side Observations

The COVID-19 public health emergency resulted in record, near-term decreases in hydrocarbon demand due to lockdowns, travel restrictions, quarantines, temporary business closures and other measures instituted as early as February 2020 as the virus spread across several continents.  By May 2020, several major economies across the world began to work towards reopening their economies by targeting a balance between containing and eradicating the virus and supporting their economies, versus the initial more complete shut-downs.  The U.S., China, India, much of Europe and parts of Latin America have begun to ease their COVID-19 containment measures and central banks and governments have instituted significant measures in an effort to stimulate economic activity.  As a result, energy demand began to recover, with notable improvements in China, India, Europe and to some extent in the U.S.  A continuation of this trend remains dependent on successful containment of the disease and its elimination as a widespread threat to public health.  It is encouraging to note that, according to information published by the New York Times on July 22, 2020, researchers around the world are developing more than 160 vaccines against the virus, and 27 vaccines are in human trials.  Although vaccines typically require years of research and testing before being made available to the public, scientists are racing to produce a safe and effective vaccine.  While we are encouraged by efforts to reopen the global economy, the pace and the scope of the reopening is uncertain at this time and may extend well into 2021.

In its July 2020 Oil Market Report published on July 10, 2020 (the “July 2020 OMR”), the International Energy Agency (“IEA”) estimated that global crude oil demand for calendar year 2020 would fall by 7.9 MMBPD before recovering by 5.3 MMBPD in 2021.  Overall, the July 2020 OMR forecasts that crude oil demand will approximate 92.1 MMBPD in 2020 and 97.4 MMBPD in 2021.  In addition, the IEA forecasts crude oil demand will approximate 94.5 MMBPD and 97.0 MMBPD in the third and fourth quarters of 2020, respectively.

The destruction in hydrocarbon demand attributable to COVID-19 resulted in a severe drop in crude oil prices.  Prior to the pandemic, crude oil prices for West Texas Intermediate (“WTI”) at Cushing, Oklahoma (as reported by the NYMEX) closed at $61.06 per barrel on December 31, 2019.   By March 31, 2020, WTI prices closed at $20.48 per barrel and, notwithstanding the announced production cuts, closed at a record low of a negative $37.63 per barrel on April 20, 2020.  As demand began to recover in the second quarter of 2020, WTI prices rebounded from the April lows and closed at $39.27 per barrel on June 30, 2020.  According to the July 2020 OMR, futures markets are anticipating a transformation in the oil market from substantial daily surplus in the first half of 2020 to a daily deficit in the second half of 2020.

Downstream demand for hydrocarbon products such as gasoline and jet fuel is expected to remain depressed until the COVID-19 containment measures are substantially lifted and the economy sufficiently improves.  Refiners have reduced their utilization rates in response to lower domestic and international demand.  According to the July 2020 OMR, global refining throughput for 2020 is forecast to fall 6.4 MMBPD to 75.1 MMBPD in 2020 due to reduced demand for transportation fuels and increase by 4.7 MMBPD in 2021.

Supply Side Observations

Production agreements within the OPEC+ group in the second quarter of 2020, along with market-driven cuts in U.S., Brazilian and Canadian supplies due to lower crude oil prices, continue to provide much-needed support for international energy markets in coping with the decline in hydrocarbon demand attributable to COVID-19.  The OPEC+ group agreed to reduce their combined oil production by 9.7 MMBPD in May and June 2020, 9.6 MMBPD in July 2020, 7.7 MMBPD from August through December 2020 and 5.8 MMBPD from January 2021 to April 2022.

Global supply and demand fundamentals are being continually evaluated by the OPEC+ Joint Ministerial Monitoring Committee and the existing OPEC+ agreement is scheduled to be reevaluated in December 2021. The duration of market-driven production cuts by non-OPEC countries such as U.S., Brazil and Canada will depend on market forces, which are based on supply and demand fundamentals. According to the July 2020 OMR, the record output cuts from OPEC+ and steep declines from other non-OPEC producers resulted in global oil production for June 2020 falling by 13.7 MMBPD when compared to April 2020.  Overall, the IEA states that global oil supply fell to a nine-year low of 86.9 MMBPD in June 2020.  According to the July 2020 OMR, global oil supply is forecast to decline by 7.1 MMBPD on average in 2020 (assuming the OPEC+ production cuts stay in place), and increase by 1.7 MMBPD in 2021.

As a result of the current business environment, most oil producers in North America have reduced their drilling and completion of new wells.  According to a report published by the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas, average breakeven prices in the Permian Basin range from $48 per barrel to $54 per barrel, with breakeven costs in the Eagle Ford Shale averaging $51 per barrel. Baker Hughes reports that the total number of drilling rigs working in the continental U.S. (combined crude oil and natural gas rigs) declined from 805 at December 31, 2019 to 728 at March 31, 2020 and further to 265 at June 30, 2020.  The U.S. Energy Information Administration (“EIA”) in its July 2020 Short-Term Energy Outlook (“July 2020 STEO” dated July 7, 2020) expects U.S. crude oil production to average 11.6 MMBPD in 2020, which is down 0.6 MMBPD from 2019.  Furthermore, the EIA expects U.S. crude oil production to average 11.0 MMBPD in 2021.

Enterprise Outlook

Although the current business outlook remains challenging, we believe that our partnership remains in a strong financial position to endure through these circumstances. We enter the second half of 2020 with a solid balance sheet, ample liquidity and good coverage of our cash distribution.

At June 30, 2020, we had $7.3 billion of consolidated liquidity, which was comprised of $6.0 billion of available borrowing capacity under EPO’s revolving credit facilities and $1.3 billion of unrestricted cash on hand.  Our liquidity is supported by investment grade credit ratings on EPO’s long-term senior unsecured debt of BBB+, Baa1 and BBB+ from Standard & Poor's, Moody’s and Fitch, respectively.

EPO completed a $3.0 billion senior notes offering in January 2020 that provided funds to repay all of its $1.5 billion of senior note maturities in 2020, amounts then outstanding under its commercial paper program and for general company purposes.  In August 2020, EPO issued $1.0 billion in principal amount of 3.20% senior notes due February 2052 and $250.0 million in principal amount of reopened senior notes due January 2030.  Net proceeds from the issuance of senior notes in August 2020 will be used for general company purposes, including for growth capital investments, and to repay all or part of $750.0 million in principal amount of Senior Notes TT, which mature in February 2021.  Based on current conditions, we believe that we will have sufficient liquidity and/or access to debt capital markets to fund the remaining principal amount of senior notes maturing in 2021.



51



Capital spending throughout the domestic energy industry has been significantly reduced to preserve capital during the current downturn.  We are no exception to this trend.  Based on information currently available, we now expect our total capital investments for 2020 to approximate $2.8 billion to $3.3 billion (originally forecast at $3.4 billion to $4.4 billion), which reflects growth capital investments of $2.5 billion to $3.0 billion and approximately $300 million for sustaining capital expenditures.  In addition, we currently expect our growth capital investments on sanctioned projects for 2021 and 2022 to approximate $2.3 billion and $1.0 billion, respectively.  These amounts do not include capital investments associated with our proposed deepwater offshore crude oil terminal (the Sea Port Oil Terminal or “SPOT”), which remains subject to governmental approvals.  We do not expect to receive governmental approvals for SPOT during 2020.  In addition to reductions made in our capital spending program, we continue to discuss project commitments with customers and joint venture opportunities with strategic partners to optimize our use of available capital. These efforts, which have been slowed in the second quarter of 2020 due to impacts of the pandemic, could further reduce our planned growth capital investments for 2020, 2021 and 2022.

We continue to optimize our assets during this difficult period to provide incremental services to customers and to respond to market opportunities; however, as expected we experienced a reduction in volumes on a number of our assets during the second quarter of 2020 due to reduced upstream drilling activity and lower downstream refinery activity and demand for transportation fuels. Furthermore, we may continue to experience throughput declines in the second half of 2020 on our gathering systems, long-haul liquids and natural gas pipelines and at our terminal, fractionation and other facilities until the pandemic ends and economic activity is fully restored. To the extent that we have firm transportation agreements (e.g., ship-or-pay arrangements) and the shipper/customer has sufficient liquidity to satisfy its contractual commitments, we expect the near-term impacts to be manageable.  Our business is predominately fee-based (approximately 86% of gross operating margin in 2019), with a substantial portion backed by take-or-pay arrangements.  The reduction in upstream production activity and international demand is negatively impacting the export of crude oil and basic petrochemicals from our marine terminals; however, LPG export demand has remained resilient.  As prices for certain NGLs, crude oil and refined products fell precipitously during the second quarter of 2020 due to collapsing demand for refined products as a result of the pandemic, our storage services provided valuable flexibility for our customers. During the second quarter of 2020, we were also able to benefit by using uncontracted storage capacity to capture contango opportunities in NGLs, crude oil and refined products and will continue to see this benefit for the remainder of 2020.

Across all of our assets, we have contracted with a large number of quality customers in order to achieve customer diversification.  In 2019, our top 200 largest customers represented 96% of consolidated revenues.  Based on their respective year-end 2019 debt ratings, 81% of our top 200 customers were either investment grade rated or backed by letters of credit.  Additionally, only 6% of our top 200 customer revenues were attributable to sub-investment grade or non-rated upstream producers. Given the current market environment, the rating agencies have taken numerous rating actions, including downgrades, across the energy industry.  After adjusting for all ratings actions through April 23, 2020, we estimate that 78% of our top 200 customers remain investment grade rated or are backed by letters of credit.

In light of current events, we are closely monitoring the recoverability of our long-lived assets, equity method investments, intangible assets and goodwill carrying values for potential impairment.  We did not recognize any significant non-cash asset impairment charges during the first six months of 2020.  However, if the impacts from the outbreak of COVID-19 and adverse developments in the global energy markets persist for significantly longer periods than currently expected, these events could result in asset impairment charges in the future.

Other Recent Developments

Issuance of Senior Notes in January 2020 and August 2020

In January 2020, EPO issued $3.0 billion aggregate principal amount of senior notes comprised of (i) $1.0 billion principal amount of senior notes due January 2030 (“Senior Notes AAA”), (ii) $1.0 billion principal amount of senior notes due January 2051 (“Senior Notes BBB”) and (iii) $1.0 billion principal amount of senior notes due January 2060 (“Senior Notes CCC”).   Net proceeds from this offering were used by EPO for the repayment of $500 million principal amount of its Senior Notes Q that matured in January 2020, temporary repayment of amounts outstanding under its commercial paper program and for general company purposes.  In addition, net proceeds from this offering will be used by EPO for the repayment of $1.0 billion principal amount of its Senior Notes Y upon their maturity in September 2020.

52



Senior Notes AAA were issued at 99.921% of their principal amount and have a fixed-rate interest rate of 2.80% per year.  Senior Notes BBB were issued at 99.413% of their principal amount and have a fixed-rate interest rate of 3.70% per year.  Senior Notes CCC were issued at 99.360% of their principal amount and have a fixed-rate interest rate of 3.95% per year.  EPD guaranteed these senior notes through an unconditional guarantee on an unsecured and unsubordinated basis.

In August 2020, EPO issued $1.0 billion in principal amount of 3.20% senior notes due February 2052 (“Senior Notes DDD”) and $250.0 million in principal amount of reopened 2.80% senior notes due January 2030 (“Senior Notes AAA”).  The reopened Senior Notes AAA and the Senior Notes DDD were issued at 107.211% and 99.233% of their principal amounts, respectively. We received aggregate net proceeds of $1.25 billion from the sale of the notes after deducting underwriting discounts and other estimated offering expenses payable by us.  Net proceeds from the issuance of these senior notes will be used for general company purposes, including for growth capital investments, and to repay all or part of $750.0 million in principal amount of Senior Notes TT, which mature in February 2021.

Enterprise Co-Loads Export Vessels at Houston Ship Channel Terminals

In July 2020, we completed the simultaneous loading of propane and polymer grade propylene (“PGP”) into separate compartments on a Very Large Gas Carrier at our Enterprise Hydrocarbons Terminal (“EHT”), as well as the simultaneous loading of ethane and ethylene on a vessel at our Morgan’s Point Ethane Export Terminal facility.  Both vessels were the first export cargoes of their kind from the U.S.

Enterprise Declares Cash Distribution for Second Quarter of 2020

On July 7, 2020, we announced that the Board declared a quarterly cash distribution to be paid to our limited partners with respect to the second quarter of 2020 of $0.4450 per common unit, or $1.78 per unit on an annualized basis.  The quarterly distribution associated with the second quarter of 2020 is payable on August 12, 2020, to unitholders of record as of the close of business on July 31, 2020.  This distribution represents a 1.1% increase over the distribution declared with respect to the second quarter of 2019.  We paid our limited partners a distribution of $0.4450 per common unit with respect to the first quarter of 2020 on May 12, 2020. In light of current economic conditions, management will evaluate future cash distributions in 2020 on a quarterly basis.  The payment of any quarterly cash distribution is subject to Board approval and management’s evaluation of our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows in connection with such payments.

Enterprise Enters Into Long-Term Sales Agreement in Support of PDH 2 Facility

In June 2020, we announced the execution of a long-term sales agreement with Marubeni Corporation to supply PGP from our second propane dehydrogenation plant (“PDH 2”), which is currently under construction at our Mont Belvieu complex. Marubeni Corporation is a major Japanese integrated trading and investment business conglomerate and the world’s largest olefins trader. PGP is a primary petrochemical that has global demand growth as a feedstock to manufacture consumer, medical and industrial products that improve the daily lives and protect the health of people around the world.

PDH 2 is expected to have the capacity to upgrade 35 MBPD of propane into 1.65 billion pounds per year (equivalent to 25 MBPD) of PGP and begin service in the second quarter of 2023.  Upon completion of PDH 2, our total capacity to produce PGP is expected to be 11 billion pounds per year, representing the largest PGP production complex in the world.

Enterprise Ramps Up Ethylene Exports at its Morgan’s Point Marine Terminal

In June 2020, we announced that the loading capacity of our jointly-owned ethylene export terminal located on the Houston Ship Channel at Morgan’s Point, Texas was exceeding our interim design expectations and that ethylene exports for June would exceed 175 million pounds.  In fact, the marine terminal loaded a record-sized ethylene cargo of 44 million pounds on the Navigator Eclipse.  We expect to complete the construction of an ethylene storage tank at the terminal site by the end of 2020, which should increase the terminal’s total loading capacity to 2.2 billion pounds per year.

The marine terminal volumes are supported by our high-capacity ethylene storage hub and pipeline system, which is connected to four ethylene pipeline systems. We expect to complete three additional connections by the end of 2020, linking the system to a majority of ethylene production capacity in Texas. Our open access ethylene storage hub and pipeline system provides domestic ethylene producers access to both domestic and global markets.

Enterprise Enters Into April 2020 364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement

In April 2020, EPO entered into an additional 364-day revolving credit agreement (the “April 2020 364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement”).  The new agreement provides EPO with an incremental $1.0 billion of borrowing capacity, thereby increasing its overall borrowing capacity under its revolving credit agreements to $6.0 billion.  The April 2020 364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement enhances our financial flexibility during the economic downturn caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.  Under the terms of the April 2020 364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement, EPO may borrow up to $1.0 billion at a variable interest rate for a term of 364 days, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein.  EPO may use proceeds from borrowings under the April 2020 364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions and other company purposes.

Settlement of Liquidity Option

On February 25, 2020, the Partnership received notice from Marquard & Bahls AG (“M&B”) of its election to exercise its rights (the “Liquidity Option”) under the Liquidity Option Agreement among EPD, OTA Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation previously named Oiltanking Holding Americas, Inc. (“OTA”) and M&B dated October 1, 2014 (the “Liquidity Option Agreement”).  On March 5, 2020, we settled our obligations under the Liquidity Option Agreement by issuing 54,807,352 new EPD common units to Skyline North Americas, Inc. (“Skyline,” an affiliate of M&B) in exchange for the capital stock of OTA.  Upon settlement of the Liquidity Option, we indirectly acquired the 54,807,352 EPD common units owned by OTA (which were issued to OTA in October 2014) and assumed all future income tax obligations of OTA, including its deferred tax liability.  At March 5, 2020, OTA’s assets and liabilities consisted primarily of the EPD common units it owned and the related deferred tax liability, respectively.

At March 5, 2020, our accrual for the Liquidity Option liability was $511.9 million.  The Liquidity Option liability, at any measurement date, represents the present value of estimated federal and state income taxes that we believe a market participant would incur due to ownership of OTA, including its deferred income tax liabilities.  OTA’s deferred tax liability at March 5, 2020 was $439.7 million.  The market value of the new EPD common units issued to Skyline was $1.30 billion based on a closing price of $23.67 per unit on March 5, 2020.

The 54,807,352 new EPD common units issued to Skyline upon settlement of the Liquidity Option constitute “restricted securities” in the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and may not be resold except pursuant to an effective registration statement or an available exemption under the Securities Act.  In connection with the settlement of the Liquidity Option, Enterprise entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with Skyline. Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, Skyline has the right to request that we prepare and file a registration statement to permit and otherwise facilitate the public resale of all or a portion of such EPD common units that Skyline and its affiliates then own. Our obligation to Skyline to effect such transactions is limited to five registration statements and underwritten offerings.  In May 2020, we filed a registration statement on behalf of Skyline for the resale of up to 54,807,352 EPD common units. This registration statement is effective and, in June 2020, we filed a prospectus supplement to this registration statement that allows Skyline to sell up to $500 million of the EPD common units it owns in connection with an “at-the-market” program that it administers.   We will not receive any proceeds from such offerings.

As a result of the Liquidity Option settlement, the partners’ equity balance for common units (as presented on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet) increased by the $1.30 billion market value of the new EPD common units issued to Skyline.  Since OTA does not meet the definition of a business as described in ASC 805, Business Combinations, the acquisition of OTA was accounted for as the purchase of treasury units and assumption of the related deferred tax liability.  In consolidation, we present the 54,807,352 EPD common units owned by OTA as treasury units, with their historical cost based on the $1.30 billion market value of the 54,807,352 new EPD common units issued to Skyline.

For information regarding the impact of the settlement on our earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2020, see “Income Statement Highlights – Income Taxes” within this Item 2.

The “Indicative Gas Processing Gross Spread” represents a generic estimate of the gross economic benefit from extracting NGLs from natural gas production based on certain pricing assumptions.  Specifically, it is the amount by which the assumed economic value of a composite gallon of NGLs at Mont Belvieu, Texas exceeds the value of the equivalent amount of energy in natural gas at Henry Hub, Louisiana (as presented in the table above). The indicative spread does not consider the operating costs incurred by a natural gas processing facility to extract the NGLs nor the transportation and fractionation costs to deliver the NGLs to market.   In addition, the actual gas processing spread earned at each plant is determined by regional pricing and extraction dynamics.   As presented in the table above, the indicative spread assumes that a gallon of NGLs is comprised of 47% ethane, 28% propane, 9% normal butane, 6% isobutane and 10% natural gasoline.  The value of an equivalent amount of energy in natural gas to one gallon of NGLs is assumed to be 8.4% of the price of a MMBtu of natural gas at Henry Hub.

The weighted-average indicative market price for NGLs was $0.31 per gallon in the second quarter of 2020 versus $0.47 per gallon during the second quarter of 2019.  Likewise, the weighted-average indicative market price for NGLs was $0.33 per gallon during the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $0.52 per gallon during the same period in 2019.   The following table presents selected average index prices for crude oil for the periods indicated:

The decline in commodity prices since the beginning of 2020 is attributable to the ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and, with respect to crude oil, the recent oil price dispute between Saudi Arabia and Russia.  See “Update on 2020 Outlook” within this Item 2 for information regarding these events.

Fluctuations in our consolidated revenues and cost of sales amounts are explained in large part by changes in energy commodity prices.  A decrease in our consolidated marketing revenues due to lower energy commodity sales prices may not result in a decrease in gross operating margin or cash available for distribution, since our consolidated cost of sales amounts would also decrease due to comparable decreases in the purchase prices of the underlying energy commodities.  The same type of correlation would be true in the case of higher energy commodity sales prices and purchase costs.

We attempt to mitigate commodity price exposure through our hedging activities and the use of fee-based arrangements.  See Note 14 of the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included under Part I, Item 1 of this quarterly report for information regarding our commodity hedging activities.

Second Quarter of 2020 Compared to Second Quarter of 2019Total revenues for the second quarter of 2020 decreased $2.53 billion when compared to the second quarter of 2019 primarily due to a net $2.35 billion decrease in marketing revenues.  Revenues from the marketing of crude oil and natural gas decreased $1.57 billion quarter-to-quarter primarily due to lower sales prices, which accounted for a $1.18 billion decrease, and lower sales volumes, which accounted for an additional $389.7 million decrease.  Revenues from the marketing of NGLs, petrochemicals and refined products decreased a net $783.0 million quarter-to-quarter primarily due to lower sales prices, which accounted for a $1.46 billion decrease, partially offset by the effects of higher sales volumes, which resulted in a $678.7 million increase.

Revenues from midstream services for the second quarter of 2020 decreased $173.6 million when compared to the second quarter of 2019.  Revenues from our natural gas processing facilities decreased a net $76.8 million quarter-to-quarter primarily due to the impact of lower NGL prices in the second quarter of 2020 compared to the second quarter of 2019 on the value of equity NGLs we receive as non-cash consideration for processing services.  Revenues from our pipeline assets decreased $71.4 million quarter-to-quarter primarily due to lower demand for crude oil, natural gas and refined products transportation services.  Lastly, third-party revenues from our Mont Belvieu NGL fractionation complex decreased $28.8 million quarter-to-quarter primarily due to lower fractionation fees.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2020 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2019Total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2020 decreased $3.59 billion when compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019 primarily due to a net $3.37 billion decrease in marketing revenues.  Revenues from the marketing of crude oil and natural gas decreased $2.46 billion period-to-period primarily due to lower sales prices, which accounted for a $1.76 billion decrease, and lower sales volumes, which accounted for an additional $700.7 million decrease.  Revenues from the marketing of NGLs decreased a net $977.3 million period-to-period primarily due to lower sales prices, which accounted for a $2.02 billion decrease, partially offset by the effects of higher sales volumes, which resulted in a $1.04 billion increase.  Revenues from the marketing of petrochemicals and refined products increased a net $59.2 million period-to-period primarily due to higher sales volumes, which accounted for a $691.1 million increase, partially offset by lower sales prices, which resulted in a $631.9 million decrease.

57



Revenues from midstream services for the six months ended June 30, 2020 decreased $211.5 million when compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019.  Revenues from our natural gas processing facilities decreased a net $122.1 million period-to-period primarily due to the impact of lower NGL prices in the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019 on the value of equity NGLs we receive as non-cash consideration for processing services.  Revenues from our Midland-to-ECHO 2 pipeline, which commenced limited service in February 2019 and full service in April 2019, increased $29.6 million period-to-period.  Revenues from our other pipeline assets decreased $76.5 million period-to-period primarily due to lower demand for crude oil, natural gas and refined products.  Lastly, third party revenues from our Mont Belvieu NGL fractionation complex decreased $64.6 million period-to-period primarily due to lower fractionation fees.

Operating costs and expenses

Second Quarter of 2020 Compared to Second Quarter of 2019Total operating costs and expenses for the second quarter of 2020 decreased $2.43 billion when compared to the second quarter of 2019 primarily due to lower cost of sales.  The cost of sales associated with our marketing of crude oil and natural gas decreased a combined $1.51 billion quarter-to-quarter primarily due to lower purchase prices, which accounted for a $1.24 billion decrease, and lower sales volumes, which accounted for an additional $264.6 million decrease.  The cost of sales associated with our marketing of NGLs decreased a net $949.5 million quarter-to-quarter primarily due to lower purchase prices, which accounted for a $1.2 billion decrease, partially offset by higher sales volumes, which accounted for a $255.4 million increase.  The cost of sales associated with our marketing of petrochemicals and refined products increased a net $43.3 million quarter-to-quarter primarily due to higher sales volumes, which accounted for a $350.9 million increase, partially offset by lower purchase prices, which accounted for a $307.6 million decrease.

Other operating costs and expenses for the second quarter of 2020 decreased $53.1 million quarter-to-quarter primarily due to lower maintenance, chemical and power-related expenses, which accounted for a $79.7 million decrease, partially offset by higher ad valorem taxes, which accounted for a $20.3 million increase.  Depreciation, amortization and accretion expense increased $31.5 million quarter-to-quarter primarily due to assets placed into full or limited service since the second quarter of 2019 (e.g., the isobutane dehydrogenation (“iBDH”) plant, Mentone facility, Mont Belvieu Frac X and the Enterprise Navigator ethylene terminal).

Six Months Ended June 30, 2020 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2019Total operating costs and expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2020 decreased $3.39 billion when compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019 primarily due to lower cost of sales.  The cost of sales associated with our marketing of crude oil and natural gas decreased a combined $2.21 billion period-to-period primarily due to lower purchase prices, which accounted for a $1.69 billion decrease, and lower sales volumes, which accounted for an additional $520.8 million decrease.  The cost of sales associated with our marketing of NGLs decreased a net $1.26 billion period-to-period primarily due to lower purchase prices, which accounted for a $2.08 billion decrease, partially offset by higher sales volumes, which accounted for an $828.5 million increase. The cost of sales associated with our marketing of petrochemicals and refined products increased a net $40.6 million period-to-period primarily due to higher sales volumes, which accounted for a $628.0 million increase, partially offset by lower purchase prices, which accounted for a $587.4 million decrease.

Other operating costs and expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2020 decreased $29.1 million period-to-period primarily due to lower maintenance and power-related expenses, which accounted for an $82.3 million decrease, partially offset by higher ad valorem taxes and employee compensation costs, which accounted for a $56.9 million increase.  Depreciation, amortization and accretion expense increased $63.4 million period-to-period primarily due to assets placed into full or limited service since the first quarter of 2019 (e.g., the iBDH plant, Mentone and Orla facilities, Mont Belvieu Frac X and the Enterprise Navigator ethylene terminal).

General and administrative costs

General and administrative costs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 increased $4.5 million and $7.8 million, respectively, when compared to the same periods in 2019 primarily due to higher employee compensation costs and professional services expense.

58



Equity in income of unconsolidated affiliates

Equity income from our unconsolidated affiliates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 decreased $24.1 million and $37.9 million, respectively, when compared to the same periods in 2019 primarily due to decreased earnings from our investments in crude oil pipelines.

Operating income

Operating income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 decreased $123.4 million and $242.1 million, respectively, when compared to the same periods in 2019 due to the previously described quarter-to-quarter and period-to-period changes in revenues, operating costs and expenses, general and administrative costs and equity in income of unconsolidated affiliates.

Amount presented for the six months ended June 30, 2019 includes $9.8 million of swaption premium income.
(2)
We capitalize interest costs incurred on funds used to construct property, plant and equipment while the asset is in its construction phase.  Capitalized interest amounts become part of the historical cost of an asset and are charged to earnings (as a component of depreciation expense) on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset once the asset enters its intended service.  When capitalized interest is recorded, it reduces interest expense from what it would be otherwise.  Capitalized interest amounts fluctuate based on the timing of when projects are placed into service, our capital investment levels and the interest rates charged on borrowings.
(3)
Primarily reflects facility commitment fees charged in connection with our revolving credit facilities and amortization of debt issuance costs.

Interest charged on debt principal outstanding, which is a key driver of interest expense, increased a net $26.6 million quarter-to-quarter primarily due to increased debt principal amounts outstanding during the second quarter of 2020, which accounted for a $31.0 million increase, partially offset by the effect of lower overall interest rates during the second quarter of 2020, which accounted for a $4.4 million decrease.  Our weighted-average debt principal balance for the second quarter of 2020 was $29.9 billion compared to $27.1 billion for the second quarter of 2019.  For the six months ended June 30, 2020, interest charged on debt principal outstanding increased a net $50.6 million period-to-period primarily due to increased debt principal amounts outstanding during the six months ended June 30, 2020, which accounted for a $62.2 million increase, partially offset by the effect of lower overall interest rates during the six months ended June 30, 2020, which accounted for an $11.6 million decrease.  Our weighted-average debt principal balance for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was $29.61 billion compared to $26.9 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2019.  In general, our debt principal balances have increased over time due to the partial debt financing of our capital investments. For additional information regarding our debt obligations, see Note 7 of the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included under Part I, Item 1 of this quarterly report.   For a discussion of our capital projects, see “Capital Investments” within this Part I, Item 2.

Change in fair value of Liquidity Option

For the period in which the Liquidity Option was outstanding, we recognized non-cash expense in connection with accretion and changes in management estimates that affected the valuation of the Liquidity Option liability.  As discussed in the following section, Income taxes, our obligations under the Liquidity Option Agreement were settled on March 5, 2020.


59



Expense attributable to changes in the fair value of the Liquidity Option were $26.6 million and $84.4 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively.  Expense of $2.3 million for the first quarter of 2020 primarily reflects accretion expense for the period in which the Liquidity Option liability was outstanding before it was settled on March 5, 2020.  The higher level of expense recognized in the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 was primarily due to a decrease in the discount factor used in determining the present value of the liability.

On March 5, 2020, we settled the Liquidity Option (see “Other Recent Developments” within this Item 2) and assumed OTA’s deferred tax liability, which reflects the outside basis difference of OTA in the 54,807,352 EPD common units it owns.  Upon settlement of the Liquidity Option, the Liquidity Option liability was effectively replaced by the deferred tax liability of OTA  calculated in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes.  At March 5, 2020, the Liquidity Option liability amount was $511.9 million.  Since the book value of the Liquidity Option liability exceeded OTA’s estimated deferred tax liability of $439.7 million on that date, we recognized a non-cash benefit in earnings of $72.2 million, which is reflected in the “Benefit from (provision for) income taxes” line on our Unaudited Condensed Statement of Consolidated Operations for the six months ended June 30, 2020.

The deferred tax liability of OTA is subject to fluctuation due to changes in the market value of the EPD common units it owns relative to its underlying tax basis in the units.  With respect to the second quarter of 2020, OTA recognized deferred income tax expense of $50.5 million primarily due to an increase in the market value of its investment in EPD common units since March 31, 2020.  At June 30, 2020, the deferred tax liability of OTA was $375.2 million.  OTA recognized a deferred income tax benefit of $64.5 million through June 30, 2020 primarily due to a decrease in the market value of its investment in EPD common units since March 5, 2020.  In total, earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2020 reflect a net $136.7 million of deferred income tax benefit attributable to OTA.

For additional information regarding income taxes, see Note 11 of the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included under Part I, Item 1 of this quarterly report.

Business Segment Highlights

We evaluate segment performance based on our financial measure of gross operating margin.  Gross operating margin is an important performance measure of the core profitability of our operations and forms the basis of our internal financial reporting.  We believe that investors benefit from having access to the same financial measures that our management uses in evaluating segment results.

Within the context of this table, total segment gross operating margin represents a subtotal and corresponds to measures similarly titled within our business segment disclosures found under Note 10 of the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included under Part I, Item 1 of this quarterly report.

Total gross operating margin includes equity in the earnings of unconsolidated affiliates, but is exclusive of other income and expense transactions, income taxes, the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles and extraordinary charges.  Total gross operating margin is presented on a 100% basis before any allocation of earnings to noncontrolling interests.  Our calculation of gross operating margin may or may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.  Segment gross operating margin for NGL Pipelines & Services and Crude Oil Pipelines & Services reflect adjustments for shipper make-up rights that are included in management’s evaluation of segment results.  However, these adjustments are excluded from non-GAAP total gross operating margin.

The GAAP financial measure most directly comparable to total gross operating margin is operating income.  For a discussion of operating income and its components, see the previous section titled “Income Statement Highlights” within this Part I, Item 2.  The following table presents a reconciliation of operating income to total gross operating margin for the periods indicated (dollars in millions):

Each of our business segments benefits from the supporting role of our marketing activities.  The main purpose of our marketing activities is to support the utilization and expansion of assets across our midstream energy asset network by increasing the volumes handled by such assets, which results in additional fee-based earnings for each business segment.  In performing these support roles, our marketing activities also seek to participate in supply and demand opportunities as a supplemental source of gross operating margin for the partnership.  The financial results of our marketing efforts fluctuate due to changes in volumes handled and overall market conditions, which are influenced by current and forward market prices for the products bought and sold.

Our segment results for the second quarter of 2020 reflect the challenging business environment we are currently experiencing due to the COVID-19 pandemic.  A number of our assets were impacted by lower volumes due to reduced drilling activity and downstream refinery activity and demand for transportation fuels.  For a general discussion of the impact of COVID-19 on our partnership and industry, see “Update on 2020 Outlook” within this Item 2.

Second Quarter of 2020 Compared to Second Quarter of 2019Gross operating margin from refined products pipelines and related activities during the second quarter of 2020 decreased $19.0 million when compared to the second quarter of 2019 primarily due to lower interstate refined product transportation volumes of 55 MBPD on our TE Products Pipeline System, which accounted for a $9.5 million decrease, and higher operating expenses, which accounted for an additional $5.6 million decrease.   Overall transportation volumes on our TE Products Pipeline System increased a net 82 MBPD quarter-to-quarter, which was primarily due to higher petrochemical transport volumes in southeast Texas.

Gross operating margin at our refined products terminal in Beaumont, Texas decreased $4.9 million quarter-to-quarter primarily due to lower storage revenues.  Terminaling volumes at Beaumont decreased a net 127 MBPD quarter-to-quarter.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2020 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2019Gross operating margin from refined products pipelines and related activities during the six months ended June 30, 2020 decreased $25.8 million when compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019.  Gross operating margin at our TE Products Pipeline System decreased $18.2 million when compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019 primarily due to higher operating costs, which accounted for a $9.6 million decrease, and lower interstate refined product transportation volumes of 31 MBPD, which accounted for an additional $8.3 million decrease.  Overall transportation volumes on our TE Products Pipeline System decreased a net 2 MBPD period-to-period.

Gross operating margin at our refined products terminal in Beaumont, Texas decreased $10.2 million period-to-period primarily due to lower storage revenues.  Terminaling volumes at Beaumont decreased a net 82 MBPD period-to-period.

Marine transportation and other services
Second Quarter of 2020 Compared to Second Quarter of 2019.  Gross operating margin from marine transportation and other services during the second quarter of 2020 increased $5.7 million when compared to the second quarter of 2019.  Gross operating margin from our ethylene export terminal and related operations was $5.0 million for the second quarter of 2020.  Loading volumes at our ethylene export terminal, which was placed into limited service in December 2019, were 9 MBPD during the second quarter of 2020.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2020 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2019.  Gross operating margin from marine transportation and other services during the six months ended June 30, 2020 increased $5.3 million when compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019.   Gross operating margin from our ethylene export terminal and related operations was $2.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020.  Loading volumes at our ethylene export terminal were 6 MBPD during the six months ended June 30, 2020.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Based on current market conditions (as of the filing date of this quarterly report), we believe we will have sufficient liquidity, cash flow from operations and access to capital markets to fund our capital investments and working capital needs for the reasonably foreseeable future.  At June 30, 2020, we had $7.3 billion of consolidated liquidity, which was comprised of $6.0 billion of available borrowing capacity under EPO’s revolving credit facilities and $1.3 billion of unrestricted cash on hand.

We may issue equity and debt securities to assist us in meeting our future funding and liquidity requirements, including those related to capital investments.  We have a universal shelf registration statement (the “2019 Shelf”) on file with the SEC which allows EPD and EPO (each on a standalone basis) to issue an unlimited amount of equity and debt securities, respectively.

Consolidated Debt

At June 30, 2020, the average maturity of our consolidated debt obligations was approximately 19.9 years.  The following table presents scheduled maturities of our consolidated debt obligations outstanding at June 30, 2020 for the years indicated (dollars in millions):

As discussed under “Other Recent Developments” within this Item 2, EPO issued $3.0 billion aggregate principal amount of senior notes in January 2020 and $1.25 billion aggregate principal amount of senior notes in August 2020.  In addition, EPO entered into its April 2020 364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement, which provides EPO with an incremental $1.0 billion of borrowing capacity.  At June 30, 2020, there were no principal amounts outstanding under the April 2020 364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement.

EPO’s September 2019 364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement is scheduled to mature in September 2020.  As a result, EPO expects to renew this credit agreement during the third quarter of 2020.  At June 30, 2020, there were no principal amounts outstanding under the September 2019 364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement. 

For additional information regarding our debt agreements, see Note 7 of the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included under Part I, Item 1 of this quarterly report.

Common Unit Buyback Program

In January 2020, management announced its intention to use approximately 2.0% of net cash flow provided by operating activities, or cash flow from operations (“CFFO”), in 2020 to repurchase EPD common units under the Buyback Program approved in January 2019 (the “2019 Buyback Program”).  EPD repurchased 6,357,739 common units under its 2019 Buyback Program through open market purchases in the six months ended June 30, 2020.  The total purchase price of these repurchases (including commissions and fees) was $140.1 million, and represented 2.1% of our consolidated CFFO for the twelve months ended June 30, 2020. The repurchased units were cancelled immediately upon acquisition. As of June 30, 2020, the remaining available capacity under the 2019 Buyback Program was $1.78 billion.

In addition to the 2019 Buyback Program, privately held affiliates of EPCO acquired 1,459,000 of EPD’s common units on the open market during the six months ended June 30, 2020.  In the aggregate, 7,816,739 common units were purchased on the open market during the six months ended June 30, 2020 under the 2019 Buyback Program and by privately held affiliates of EPCO.

Credit Ratings

As of August 10, 2020, the investment-grade credit ratings of EPO’s long-term senior unsecured debt securities were BBB+ from Standard and Poor’s, Baa1 from Moody’s and BBB+ from Fitch Ratings.  In addition, the credit ratings of EPO’s short-term senior unsecured debt securities were A-2 from Standard and Poor’s, P-2 from Moody’s and F-2 from Fitch Ratings.  EPO’s credit ratings reflect only the view of a rating agency and should not be interpreted as a recommendation to buy, sell or hold any of our securities.  A credit rating can be revised upward or downward or withdrawn at any time by a rating agency, if it determines that circumstances warrant such a change.  A credit rating from one rating agency should be evaluated independently of credit ratings from other rating agencies.

Issuance of Common Units

On March 5, 2020, we settled our obligations under the Liquidity Option Agreement. As a result, EPD issued 54,807,352 of its common units to Skyline and indirectly reacquired the 54,807,352 EPD common units owned by OTA. For additional information regarding this transaction, see “Other Recent Developments – Settlement of Liquidity Option” within this Item 2.

EPD has registration statements on file with the SEC in connection with its distribution reinvestment plan (“DRIP”) and employee unit purchase plan (“EUPP”). In July 2019, EPD announced that, beginning with the quarterly distribution payment paid in August 2019, it would use common units purchased on the open market, rather than issuing new common units, to satisfy its delivery obligations under the DRIP and EUPP.  This election is subject to change in future quarters depending on the partnership’s need for equity capital. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, a total of 3,379,971 common units were purchased on the open market and delivered to participants in connection with the DRIP and EUPP.  Apart from $1.3 million attributable to the plan discount available to all participants in the EUPP, the funds used to effect these purchases were sourced from the DRIP and EUPP participants.  No other partnership funds were used to satisfy these obligations.  We plan to use open market purchases to satisfy DRIP and EUPP reinvestments in connection with the distribution expected to be paid on August 12, 2020.

EPD issued and delivered a combined 2,897,990 common units in the six months ended June 30, 2019 in connection with the DRIP and EUPP, which generated net cash proceeds totaling $82.2 million.

Cash Flow Statement Highlights

The following table summarizes our consolidated cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities for the periods indicated (dollars in millions).  For additional information regarding our cash flow amounts, please refer to the Unaudited Condensed Statements of Consolidated Cash Flows included under Part I, Item 1 of this quarterly report.

Net cash flows provided by operating activities are largely dependent on earnings from our consolidated business activities. Changes in energy commodity prices may impact the demand for natural gas, NGLs, crude oil, petrochemical and refined products, which could impact sales of our products and the demand for our midstream services. Changes in demand for our products and services may be caused by other factors, including prevailing economic conditions, reduced demand by consumers for the end products made with hydrocarbon products, increased competition, adverse weather conditions and government regulations affecting prices and production levels.  We may also incur credit and price risk to the extent customers do not fulfill their obligations to us in connection with our marketing activities and long-term take-or-pay agreements. For a more complete discussion of these and other risk factors pertinent to our business, see Part I, Item 1A of the 2019 Form 10-K and Part II, Item 1A of this quarterly report.

The following information highlights significant period-to-period fluctuations in our consolidated cash flow amounts:

Operating activities
Net cash flows provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2020 increased a net $10.1 million when compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019 primarily due to:

a $243.0 million period-to-period increase primarily due to the timing of cash receipts and payments related to operations; partially offset by

a $199.4 million period-to-period decrease resulting from lower partnership earnings in the six months ended June 30, 2020 when compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019 (determined by adjusting our $81.1 million period-to-period decrease in net income for changes in the non-cash items identified on our Unaudited Condensed Statements of Consolidated Cash Flows); and
71



a $33.5 million period-to-period decrease in cash distributions received on earnings from unconsolidated affiliates primarily attributable to our investments in crude oil pipelines.

For information regarding significant period-to-period changes in our consolidated net income and underlying segment results, see “Income Statement Highlights” and “Business Segment Highlights” within this Part I, Item 2.

Investing activities
Cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2020 decreased a net $356.0 million when compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019 primarily due to:

a $284.9 million period-to-period decrease in expenditures for consolidated property, plant and equipment (see “Capital Investments” within this Part I, Item 2 for additional information); and

a $52.6 million period-to-period decrease in investments in unconsolidated affiliates primarily related to NGL and crude oil pipeline projects.

Financing activities
Cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2020 decreased a net $963.3 million when compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019 primarily due to:

a net $1.24 billion period-to-period increase in net cash inflows attributable to debt.  During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we issued $3.0 billion aggregate principal amount of senior notes, partially offset by the repayment of $500 million principal amount of senior notes.  During the six months ended June 30, 2019, we repaid or repurchased $724.2 million principal amount of senior and junior notes.  In addition, net repayments of short term notes under EPO’s commercial paper program were $481.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to net issuances of $1.42 billion during the six months ended June 30, 2019; partially offset by

an $82.2 million period-to-period decrease in net cash proceeds from the issuance of common units in connection with our DRIP and EUPP.  As noted previously, EPD announced in July 2019 that, beginning with the quarterly distribution payment paid in August 2019, it would use common units purchased on the open market, rather than issuing new common units, to satisfy its delivery obligations under the DRIP and EUPP;

a $79.9 million period-to-period decrease in cash contributions from noncontrolling interests. Cash contributions from noncontrolling interests in connection with the construction of our ethylene export facility decreased $42.0 million period-to-period. In addition, in June 2019, an affiliate of Third Coast Midstream, LLC acquired a noncontrolling 25% equity interest in our consolidated subsidiary that owns the Pascagoula natural gas processing plant for $36.0 million in cash;

a $59.0 million period-to-period increase in cash used to acquire common units under our 2019 Buyback Program; and

a $39.0 million period-to-period increase in cash distributions paid to limited partners primarily due to an increase in the quarterly cash distribution rate per unit.

Non-GAAP Cash Flow Measures

Distributable Cash Flow
Our partnership agreement requires us to make quarterly distributions to our unitholders of all available cash, after any cash reserves established by Enterprise GP in its sole discretion.  Cash reserves include those for the proper conduct of our business, including those for capital investments, debt service, working capital, operating expenses, common unit repurchases, commitments and contingencies and other amounts.  The retention of cash by the partnership allows us to reinvest in our growth and reduce our future reliance on the equity and debt capital markets.  

We measure available cash by reference to distributable cash flow (“DCF”), which is a non-GAAP cash flow measure.  DCF is an important financial measure for our limited partners since it serves as an indicator of our success in providing a cash return on investment.  Specifically, this financial measure indicates to investors whether or not we are generating cash flows at a level that can sustain our declared quarterly cash distributions.  DCF is also a quantitative standard used by the investment community with respect to publicly traded partnerships since the value of a partnership unit is, in part, measured by its yield, which is based on the amount of cash distributions a partnership can pay to a unitholder.  Our management compares the DCF we generate to the cash distributions we expect to pay our partners.  Using this metric, management computes our distribution coverage ratio.   Our calculation of DCF may or may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

Based on the level of available cash each quarter, management proposes a quarterly cash distribution rate to the Board of Enterprise GP, which has sole authority in approving such matters.  Unlike several other master limited partnerships, our general partner has a non-economic ownership interest in us and is not entitled to receive any cash distributions from us based on incentive distribution rights or other equity interests.

Our use of DCF for the limited purposes described above and in this report is not a substitute for net cash flows provided by operating activities, which is the most comparable GAAP measure. For a discussion of net cash flows provided by operating activities, see “Cash Flow Statement Highlights” within this Part I, Item 2.

Free Cash Flow
Free Cash Flow (“FCF”), a non-GAAP financial measure, is a traditional cash flow metric that is widely used by a variety of investors and other participants in the financial community, as opposed to DCF, which is a cash flow measure primarily used by investors and others in evaluating master limited partnerships. In general, FCF is a measure of how much cash flow a business generates during a specified time period after accounting for all capital investments, including expenditures for growth and sustaining capital projects. By comparison, only sustaining capital expenditures are reflected in DCF.

We believe that FCF is important to traditional investors since it reflects the amount of cash available for reducing debt, investing in additional capital projects, paying distributions, common unit repurchases and similar matters.  Since business partners fund certain capital projects of our consolidated subsidiaries, our determination of FCF reflects the amount of cash contributed from and distributed to noncontrolling interests.  Our calculation of FCF may or may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

Our use of FCF for the limited purposes described above and in this report is not a substitute for net cash flows provided by operating activities, which is the most comparable GAAP measure.

FCF fluctuates based on our earnings, the level of investing activities we undertake each period, and the timing of operating cash receipts and payments.  In addition to providing the quarterly amounts presented below, we also provide a calculation of aggregate FCF over the twelve months ended June 30, 2020 in order to measure FCF over a longer term.

Capital Investments

As previously discussed, capital investing activity throughout the domestic energy industry is being significantly reduced in response to the demand and supply disruptions attributable to COVID-19 and the oil price shock. We, along with many other midstream energy companies, have reviewed our planned capital investments in light of these adverse macroeconomic events.

As previously noted and based on information currently available, we now expect our total capital investments for 2020 to approximate $2.8 billion to $3.3 billion, which reflects growth capital investments of $2.5 billion to $3.0 billion and approximately $300 million for sustaining capital expenditures. Based on sanctioned projects, we currently expect our growth capital investments for 2021 and 2022 to approximate $2.3 billion and $1.0 billion, respectively.

Our revised forecast of capital investments for 2020 is based on announced strategic operating and growth plans (through the filing date of this quarterly report), which are dependent upon our ability to generate the required funds from either operating cash flows or other means, including borrowings under debt agreements, the issuance of additional equity and debt securities, and potential divestitures.  We may revise our forecast of capital investments due to factors beyond our control, such as adverse economic conditions, weather-related issues and changes in supplier prices.  Furthermore, our forecast of capital investments may change due to decisions made by management at a later date, which may include unforeseen acquisition opportunities.
75



Our success in raising capital, including partnering with other companies to share project costs and risks, continues to be a significant factor in determining how much capital we can invest.  We believe our access to capital resources is sufficient to meet the demands of our current and future growth needs and, although we expect to make the forecast capital investments noted above, we may adjust the timing and amounts of projected expenditures in response to changes in capital market conditions.

We placed a tenth NGL fractionator (“Frac X”) located in Chambers County, Texas into service in March 2020. In addition, expansion projects on our Texas Express Pipeline and Front Range Pipeline were placed into commercial service in April 2020. We currently have $6.6 billion of growth capital projects scheduled to be completed by the end of 2023 including the following major projects:

an eleventh NGL fractionator in Chambers County, Texas (“Frac XI,” third quarter of 2020);

components of our Midland-to-ECHO System (third quarter of 2020 into 2021);

Growth and sustaining capital amounts presented in the table above are presented on a cash basis.
(2)
Growth capital projects either (a) result in new sources of cash flow due to enhancements of or additions to existing assets (e.g., additional revenue streams, cost savings resulting from debottlenecking of a facility, etc.) or (b) expand our asset base through construction of new facilities that will generate additional revenue streams and cash flows.
(3)
Sustaining capital expenditures are capital expenditures (as defined by GAAP) resulting from improvements to existing assets.  Such expenditures serve to maintain existing operations but do not generate additional revenues or result in significant cost savings.

Comparison of Six Months Ended June 30, 2020 with Six Months Ended June 30, 2019

In total, investments in growth capital projects decreased $286.4 million period-to-period primarily due to the following:

completion of projects at our Mont Belvieu complex, which accounted for a $262.9 million decrease.  We placed our iBDH facility and Frac X into service in December 2019 and March 2020, respectively;

completion of the Shin Oak NGL Pipeline (which was completed in stages extending through the fourth quarter of 2019), which accounted for a $253.3 million decrease;

lower investments in natural gas processing facilities and related infrastructure that support Permian Basin production, which accounted for an additional $223.6 million decrease. We completed the final phase of our Orla plant in July 2019 and placed our Mentone plant into service in December 2019;

lower investments in projects attributable to our ethylene business, which accounted for an $83.8 million decrease; partially offset by,

higher investments in propylene production, NGL fractionation and related plant assets and infrastructure at our Mont Belvieu complex, which accounted for a combined $251.3 million increase;

higher investments in crude oil pipelines, including those comprising our Midland-to-ECHO System, and related infrastructure that support Permian Basin production, which accounted for an overall $188.9 million increase; and

higher investments in natural gas pipelines and related infrastructure in support of East Texas and Louisiana production, which accounted for a $71.4 million increase.

Investments in unconsolidated affiliates decreased $52.6 million period-to-period primarily due to lower spending on joint venture dock infrastructure at Corpus Christi and other crude oil-related projects, which accounted for a $27.3 million decrease, and NGL pipeline expansion projects, which accounted for an additional $25.8 million decrease.

Fluctuations in investments for sustaining capital projects are primarily due to the timing and cost of pipeline integrity and similar projects.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

A discussion of our critical accounting policies and estimates is included in our 2019 Form 10-K.  The following types of estimates, in our opinion, are subjective in nature, require the exercise of professional judgment and involve complex analysis:

depreciation methods and estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment;

measuring recoverability of long-lived assets and equity method investments;

amortization methods and estimated useful lives of qualifying intangible assets;

methods we employ to measure the fair value of goodwill; and

revenue recognition policies and the use of estimates for revenue and expenses.

When used to prepare our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the foregoing types of estimates are based on our current knowledge and understanding of the underlying facts and circumstances.  Such estimates may be revised as a result of changes in the underlying facts and circumstances.  Subsequent changes in these estimates may have a significant impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
77



Other Items

Contractual Obligations

We have contractual future product purchase commitments for natural gas, NGLs, crude oil, petrochemicals and refined products.  These commitments represent enforceable and legally binding agreements as of the reporting date.  Our product purchase commitments at June 30, 2020 declined by an estimated $8.63 billion when compared to those reported in our 2019 Form 10-K primarily due to lower NGL and crude oil prices since December 31, 2019.

The principal amount of our consolidated debt obligations were $29.9 billion at June 30, 2020 compared to $27.88 billion at December 31, 2019.  See “Other Recent Developments” within this Item 2 for information regarding EPO’s senior notes offering in January 2020 and the related use of proceeds.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably expected to have a material current or future effect on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Related Party Transactions

For information regarding our related party transactions, see Note 15 of the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included under Part I, Item 1 of this quarterly report.


ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES
ABOUT MARKET RISK.

General

In the normal course of our business operations, we are exposed to certain risks, including changes in interest rates and commodity prices.  In order to manage risks associated with assets, liabilities and certain anticipated future transactions, we use derivative instruments such as futures, forward contracts, swaps and other instruments with similar characteristics.  Substantially all of our derivatives are used for non-trading activities.

We assess the risk associated with each of our derivative instrument portfolios using a sensitivity analysis model.  This approach measures the change in fair value of the derivative instrument portfolio based on a hypothetical 10% change in the underlying interest rates or quoted market prices on a particular day.  In addition to these variables, the fair value of each portfolio is influenced by changes in the notional amounts of the instruments outstanding and the discount rates used to determine the present values.  The sensitivity analysis approach does not reflect the impact that the same hypothetical price movement would have on the hedged exposures to which they relate.  Therefore, the impact on the fair value of a derivative instrument resulting from a change in interest rates or quoted market prices (as applicable) would normally be offset by a corresponding gain or loss on the hedged debt instrument, inventory value or forecasted transaction assuming:

the derivative instrument functions effectively as a hedge of the underlying risk;

the derivative instrument is not closed out in advance of its expected term; and

the hedged forecasted transaction occurs within the expected time period.

We routinely review the effectiveness of our derivative instrument portfolios in light of current market conditions.  Accordingly, the nature and volume of our derivative instruments may change depending on the specific exposure being managed.

See Note 14 of the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included under Part I, Item 1 of this quarterly report for additional information regarding our derivative instruments and hedging activities.

78



Commodity Hedging Activities

The prices of natural gas, NGLs, crude oil, petrochemicals and refined products are subject to fluctuations in response to changes in supply and demand, market conditions and a variety of additional factors that are beyond our control.  In order to manage such price risks, we enter into commodity derivative instruments such as physical forward contracts, futures contracts, fixed-for-float swaps and basis swaps.

Sensitivity Analysis

The following tables show the effect of hypothetical price movements on the estimated fair values of our principal commodity derivative instrument portfolios at the dates indicated (dollars in millions).

The fair value information presented in the sensitivity analysis tables excludes the impact of applying Chicago Mercantile Exchange (“CME”) Rule 814, which deems that financial instruments cleared by the CME are settled daily in connection with variation margin payments.  As a result of this exchange rule, CME-related derivatives are considered to have no fair value at the balance sheet date for financial reporting purposes; however, the derivatives remain outstanding and subject to future commodity price fluctuations until they are settled in accordance with their contractual terms. Derivative transactions cleared on exchanges other than the CME (e.g., the Intercontinental Exchange or ICE) continue to be reported on a gross basis.

Interest Rate Hedging Activities

We may utilize interest rate swaps, forward-starting swaps, options to enter into forward-starting swaps (“swaptions”), and similar derivative instruments to manage our exposure to changes in interest rates charged on borrowings under certain consolidated debt agreements.  This strategy may be used in controlling our overall cost of capital associated with such borrowings.

Sensitivity Analysis

At June 30, 2020, our interest rate hedging portfolio consisted of forward-starting swaps. Forward-starting swaps hedge the risk of an increase in underlying benchmark interest rates during the period of time between the inception date of the swap agreement and the future date of a debt issuance. Under the terms of the forward-starting swaps, we pay to the counterparties (at the expected settlement dates of the instruments) amounts based on a fixed interest rate applied to a notional amount and receive from the counterparties an amount equal to a variable interest rate (based on LIBOR or an equivalent index rate) on the same notional amount.



80



With respect to the tabular data below, the portfolio’s estimated economic value at a given date is based on a number of factors, including the number and types of derivatives outstanding at that date, the notional value of the swaps and associated interest rates.  The following table summarizes our portfolio of forward-starting swaps at June 30, 2020 (dollars in millions):

The $254.1 million decrease in the fair value of this portfolio from December 31, 2019 to July 15, 2020 was primarily due to declining interest rates relative to the fixed rates specified in the swap agreements.  Upon settlement, we would expect that any loss on these swaps would be offset by lower interest rates on future debt issuances.


ITEM 4.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, our management carried out an evaluation, with the participation of (i) A. James Teague, Co-Chief Executive Officer of Enterprise GP and (ii) W. Randall Fowler, Co-Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of Enterprise GP, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  Mr. Teague is our co-principal executive officer (together with Mr. Fowler) and Mr. Fowler is our other co-principal executive officer and our principal financial officer.  Based on this evaluation, as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, Messrs. Teague and Fowler concluded:

(i)
that our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and financial officers, as appropriate to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosures; and

(ii)
that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) during the second quarter of 2020, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting. 


81



The containment measures enacted by local, state and national governmental authorities in response to COVID-19 have had minimal impact on our internal controls over financial reporting to date.  As a result of prior emergency planning efforts, we had effective processes in place that ensured the continuity of our operations, including our accounting, risk control and information technology functions.

Section 302 and 906 Certifications

The required certifications of Messrs. Teague and Fowler under Sections 302 and 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 are included as exhibits to this quarterly report (see Exhibits 31 and 32 under Part II, Item 6 of this quarterly report).


PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

As part of our normal business activities, we may be named as defendants in litigation and legal proceedings, including those arising from regulatory and environmental matters.  Although we are insured against various risks to the extent we believe it is prudent, there is no assurance that the nature and amount of such insurance will be adequate, in every case, to indemnify us against liabilities arising from future legal proceedings.  We will vigorously defend the partnership in litigation matters.

For additional information regarding our litigation matters, see “Litigation” under Note 16 of the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included under Part I, Item 1 of this quarterly report, which subsection is incorporated by reference into this Part II, Item 1.














82



ITEM 1A.  RISK FACTORS.

An investment in our securities involves certain risks. Security holders and potential investors in our securities should carefully consider the risks described under “Risk Factors” set forth in Part I, Item 1A of our 2019 Form 10-K, in addition to other information in such annual report and this quarterly report (including the additional risk factor set forth below).  The risk factors set forth in our 2019 Form 10-K and as set forth below are important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those contained in any written or oral forward-looking statements made by us or on our behalf.

The impacts from the outbreak of COVID-19 and certain developments in the global oil markets have had, and may continue to have, material adverse consequences for general economic, financial and business conditions, and could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and liquidity and those of our customers, suppliers and other counterparties.

The emergence of COVID-19 as a global pandemic in the first quarter of 2020 and the consequences of international COVID-19 containment measures (and the resulting near-term decline in end-user demand for hydrocarbons) have adversely impacted the global economy in general and the energy industry in particular. In addition, disputes between members of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (“OPEC”) and Russia (collectively, the “OPEC+” group) in March and April 2020 over crude oil production levels, resulted in major disruptions to global energy markets. Although the OPEC+ group and other producers subsequently reached agreements to reduce the oversupply of crude oil in the near-term caused by demand destruction attributable to COVID-19, the downturn in the energy industry has negatively impacted us, the producers we work with and our other customers to varying degrees.

The COVID-19 public health emergency resulted in record, near-term decreases in hydrocarbon demand due to lockdowns, travel restrictions, quarantines, temporary business closures and other measures instituted as early as February 2020 as the virus spread across several continents.  By May 2020, several major economies across the world began to work towards reopening their economies by targeting a balance between containing and eradicating the virus and supporting their economies, versus the initial more complete shut-downs.  The U.S., China, India, much of Europe and parts of Latin America have begun to ease their COVID-19 containment measures and central banks and governments have instituted significant measures in an effort to stimulate economic activity.  As a result, crude oil demand has begun to recover in certain regions. A continuation of this trend remains dependent on successful containment of the disease and its elimination as a widespread threat to public health through vaccines or otherwise.  While we are encouraged by efforts to reopen the global economy, the pace and the scope of the reopening is uncertain at this time and may extend well into 2021.

Responses to the pandemic have affected business operations across the world and led to diminished near-term business and consumer confidence and increasing unemployment. Any prolonged period of economic slowdown or recession, or a protracted period of depressed demand or prices for crude oil or other products that we handle, could have significant adverse consequences for our financial condition and the financial condition of our customers, suppliers and other counterparties, and could diminish our liquidity and negatively affect the volumes of products handled by our pipelines and other facilities.  As noted in this quarterly report, we experienced a reduction in volumes on a number of our assets during the second quarter of 2020 due to reduced upstream drilling activity and lower downstream refinery activity and demand for transportation fuels, and we may continue to experience throughput declines in the second half of 2020 on our gathering systems, long-haul liquids and natural gas pipelines and at our terminal, fractionation and other facilities until the pandemic ends and economic activity is fully restored.

The ultimate extent and manner of the impact of COVID-19 and responses by our customers on our business, financial condition, results of operation and liquidity will depend largely on future developments outside our control, including the duration and spread of the outbreak and the related impact on overall economic activity, all of which are uncertain and cannot be predicted with certainty at this time.  To the extent COVID-19 adversely affects our business, financial condition, results of operation and liquidity, it may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described in Part I, Item 1A of our 2019 Form 10-K, as those risk factors are amended or supplemented by subsequent reports and documents we file with the SEC after the date of this quarterly report.
