•
|
throughput volumes transported in our pipelines;
|
•
|
lease renewals or throughput volumes in our terminals and storage facilities;
|
•
|
tariff rates and fees we charge and the returns we realize for our services;
|
•
|
the results of our marketing, trading and hedging activities, which fluctuate depending upon the relationship between refined product prices and prices of crude oil and other feedstocks;

|
•
|
our general partner may limit its liability and reduce its fiduciary duties, while also restricting the remedies available to unitholders. As a result of purchasing our common units, unitholders have consented to some actions and conflicts of interest that might otherwise constitute a breach of fiduciary or other duties under applicable state law;
|
•
|

|
•
|
our general partner may cause us to pay the general partner or its affiliates for any services rendered on terms that are fair and reasonable to us or enter into additional contractual arrangements with any of these entities on our behalf;
|
•
|
our general partner decides whether to retain separate counsel, accountants or others to perform services for us; and

|
(b)
|
The decline in revenues is due to reductions in our fuels marketing segment mainly resulting from disposals and lower commodity prices.

|
an increase in revenues of $17.0 million and an increase in throughputs of 34,564 barrels per day on our Eagle Ford System, primarily resulting from completion of expansion projects that increased our overall capacity;
|
•
|
an increase in revenues of $11.9 million and an increase in throughputs of 11,676 barrels per day as a result of increased production in 2015 and a turnaround during the first quarter of 2014 at the refinery served by our McKee systems; and
|
•
|
an increase in revenues of $3.6 million, despite throughputs that remained flat, on our Ammonia Pipeline as a result of increased long-haul deliveries and the annual index adjustment in July 2015.
|
•
|
an increase in revenues of $2.5 million and an increase in throughputs of 19,853 barrels per day at our Corpus Christi North Beach terminal due to an increase in Eagle Ford Shale crude oil being shipped to Corpus Christi and the completion of related expansion projects;
|
•
|
an increase in revenues of $2.3 million and an increase in throughputs of 6,263 barrels per day at our terminals in Edinburg, Harlingen and Paulsboro, mainly due to increased demand; and
|
•
|
an increase in revenues of $2.0 million and an increase in throughputs of 12,558 barrels per day as a result of a turnaround during the first quarter of 2014 at the refinery served by our Benicia crude oil refinery tanks.
|
•
|

•
|
an increase of $9.9 million at our St. Eustatius terminal facility, mainly due to higher demand for storage and increased throughput and related handling fees; and
|
•
|
an increase of $5.0 million at our Point Tupper terminal facility, due to new customers and rate escalations, as well as increased throughput and related handling fees.
|
•
|
a decrease of $8.4 million at our Amsterdam terminal facility, primarily due to the effect of foreign exchange rates; and
|
•
|
a decrease of $3.5 million at our St. James terminal facility, mainly due to reduced volumes delivered to one of our unit train offloading facilities, partially offset by increased revenues from storage rate escalations.
|
•
|
an increase of $12.6 million as a result of the Linden Acquisition; and
|
•
|
an increase of $4.6 million in regulatory and maintenance expenses, mainly at our St. James and St. Eustatius terminal facilities.
|
•
|

|
•
|
a $3.5 million increase in salaries and wages mainly due to increased headcount and higher employee benefit costs; and
|
•

an increase in revenues of $39.3 million and an increase in throughputs of 61,947 barrels per day on our Eagle Ford System, primarily resulting from continued growth in the region and the completion of expansion projects in 2014 and the third quarter of 2013 that increased our overall capacity;
|
•
|
an increase in revenues of $9.1 million and an increase in throughputs of 26,369 barrels per day on our McKee systems mainly due to increased production by the McKee refinery in 2014;
|
•
|
an increase in revenues of $7.1 million and an increase in throughputs of 2,341 barrels per day on the East Pipeline due to higher average tariffs resulting from the annual index adjustments and increased long-haul deliveries, as well as higher demand due to favorable weather conditions during 2014 compared to last year; and
|
•
|
an increase in revenues of $4.9 million and an increase in throughputs of 3,140 barrels per day on the Ammonia Pipeline mainly due to favorable weather conditions during 2014 compared to last year.
|
•
|
an $8.0 million gain in 2013 for the reduction of the contingent consideration liability recorded in association with our acquisition of certain assets from TexStar Midstream Services, LP;
|
•
|
an increase of $6.3 million in maintenance and regulatory expenses, mainly associated with our East Pipeline and Ammonia Pipeline; and
|
•
|
an increase of $5.0 million in power costs, mainly due to the increase in throughputs on our Eagle Ford System and the East Pipeline.
|
•
|
an increase in revenues of $12.5 million and an increase in throughputs of 56,908 barrels per day at our Corpus Christi North Beach terminal due to an increase in Eagle Ford Shale crude oil being shipped to Corpus Christi and the completion of a new dock in the first quarter of 2014;
|
•
|
an increase in revenues of $3.0 million and an increase in throughputs of 37,822 barrels per day as a result of turnarounds and operational issues during the first quarter of 2013 at the refineries served by our Corpus Christi and Texas City crude oil refinery storage tanks; and
|
•
|
an increase in revenues of $1.7 million and an increase in throughputs of 7,727 barrels per day at our McKee system terminals due to higher demand in those markets.
|
•
|
a decrease of $15.8 million at various domestic terminals, mainly as a result of reduced demand in several markets, resulting in lower throughputs and storage fees;
|
•
|
a decrease of $1.6 million at our Point Tupper, Canada terminal facility, mainly due to lower throughput and related handling fees; and
|
•
|
a decrease of $0.9 million at our St. James terminal, mainly due to the narrowing price differential on two traded crude oil grades (WTI and LLS) that reduced our profit sharing and volumes delivered to one of our unit train offloading facilities. This decrease was partially offset by increased revenues resulting from the completion of another unit train offloading facility in the fourth quarter of 2013, new contracts and rate increases.

Bonus amounts for 2015 were paid in February 2016 with respect to 2015 performance. Bonus amounts for 2014 were paid in February 2015 with respect to 2014 performance. Bonus amounts for 2013 were paid in February 2014 with respect to 2013 performance. Bonuses were determined taking into consideration NuStar Energy’s performance in the applicable year, the individual NEO’s targets and the NEO’s performance, as described above under “Compensation Discussion and Analysis-Annual Incentive Bonus.” For an explanation of the amount of salary and bonus in proportion to total compensation, see “Compensation Discussion and Analysis-Relative Size of Primary Elements of Compensation.”
|

|
The amounts reported represent the grant date fair value of grants of NuStar Energy restricted units, NuStar Energy performance units and NuStar GP Holdings restricted units. Please see the “Long-Term Incentive Awards” section and the “Impact of Accounting and Tax Treatments-Accounting Treatment” section of “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” above in this Item 11 and the footnotes to the Grants of Plan-Based Awards During the Year Ended December 31, 2015 table below in this Item 11 for information regarding the vesting schedules and the assumptions made in the valuation.

The following table identifies the separate amounts attributable to (A) the aggregate change in the actuarial present value of each NEO’s accumulated benefit under NuStar GP, LLC’s defined benefit and actuarial pension plans, including supplemental plans (but excluding tax-qualified defined contribution plans and nonqualified defined contribution plans), and (B) above-market or preferential earnings on compensation that is deferred on a basis that is not tax-qualified.

Performance units were awarded by the Compensation Committee on January 29, 2015 pursuant to the 2000 LTIP, with each award subject to vesting in three annual increments, based upon our DCR during the one-year performance periods that end on December 31 of each year following the date of grant. The target metric for performance unit vesting with respect to 2015 is NuStar Energy achieving a DCR of 1.01:1, with all units eligible for vesting as follows based on the DCR for 2015:

Restricted units of NuStar Energy were approved by the Compensation Committee at a joint meeting with the compensation committee of NuStar GP Holdings on October 29, 2015, and the grant date for these NuStar Energy restricted units was set at that time for the date that was as soon as administratively practicable after the meeting and no earlier than the third business day following our third quarter earnings release. The NuStar Energy restricted units were awarded pursuant to the 2000 LTIP and vest 1/5 annually over five years beginning on the first anniversary of the grant date. All grantees receiving NuStar Energy restricted units are entitled to receive an amount equal to the product of (a) the number of restricted units granted to the grantee that remain outstanding and unvested as of the record date for such quarter and (b) the quarterly distribution declared by the Board for such quarter.

See “Compensation Discussion and Analysis-Impact of Accounting and Tax Treatments-Accounting Treatment” above in this Item 11 for information regarding the assumptions made in valuation. See footnote (1) above for the vesting schedule and the actual performance level attained for 2015 for the performance unit awards.

The present values stated in the table above were calculated using the same interest rate and mortality table we use for our financial reporting. The present values as of December 31, 2015 were determined using a 4.61% discount rate and the plans’ earliest unreduced retirement age (i.e., age 62). The present values reflect post-retirement mortality rates based on the RP2006 generational mortality table projected using scale MP2015. No decrements were included for pre-retirement termination, mortality or disability. Where applicable, lump sums were determined based on a 4.11% interest rate and the mortality table prescribed by the IRS in Rev. Ruling 2007-67 and updated by IRS Notices 2008-85 and 2013-49 for distributions in the years 2009-2015.

Per SEC regulations, for purposes of this analysis we assumed each NEO’s compensation at the time of each triggering event to be as stated below. The listed salary is the NEO’s actual annualized rate of pay as of December 31, 2015. The listed bonus amount represents the highest bonus earned by the executive in any of the fiscal years 2013, 2014 and 2015 (the three years prior to the assumed change of control):

The change of control severance agreements provide that if the company terminates the NEO’s employment (other than for “cause,” death or “disability,” as defined in the agreements) or if the NEO terminates his or her employment for “good reason,” as defined in the agreements, the NEO is generally entitled to receive the following:
|
(i)
|
accrued and unpaid compensation through the date of termination, including a pro-rata annual bonus (for this table, we assumed that the NEOs’ bonuses for the year of termination were paid at year end);
|
(ii)
|
two times the sum of the NEO’s (1.5 times for Ms. Perry and Ms. Thompson) annual base salary plus the NEO’s highest annual bonus from the past three years;
|
(iii)
|
the amount of the excess of the actuarial present value of the pension benefits (qualified and nonqualified) the NEO would have received for an additional two years (1.5 years for Ms. Perry and Ms. Thompson) of service over the actuarial present value of the NEO’s actual pension benefits; and
|
(iv)
|
the equivalent of two years (1.5 years for Ms. Perry and Ms. Thompson) of employer contributions under NuStar GP, LLC’s tax-qualified and supplemental defined contribution plans;
|
(3)
|
If the NEO’s employment is terminated by reason of his or her death or disability, then his or her estate or beneficiaries will be entitled to receive a lump sum cash payment equal to any accrued and unpaid salary and vacation pay plus a bonus equal to the highest bonus earned by the NEO in the prior three years (prorated to the date of termination). In this example, the termination of employment was deemed to occur on the last day of the year. Therefore, a full year’s bonus is shown in the table. In addition, in the case of disability, the NEO would be entitled to any disability and related benefits at least as favorable as those provided by NuStar GP, LLC under its plans and programs during the 120-days prior to the NEO’s termination of employment. In addition, all outstanding equity incentive awards will automatically vest on the date of the change of control, as described above.
|
(4)
|
If the NEO voluntarily terminates his or her employment other than for “good reason,” then he or she will be entitled to a lump sum cash payment equal to any accrued and unpaid salary and vacation pay plus a bonus equal to the highest bonus earned by the NEO in the prior three years (prorated to the date of termination). In this example, the termination of employment was deemed to occur on the last day of the year. Therefore, a full year’s bonus is shown in the table. In addition, all outstanding equity incentive awards will automatically vest on the date of the change of control, as described above.
|
(5)
|
The change of control agreements provide for a three-year term of employment following a change of control. The agreements generally provide that the NEO will continue to enjoy compensation and benefits on terms at least as favorable as in effect prior to the change of control. In addition, all outstanding equity incentive awards will automatically vest on the date of the change of control, as described above.
|
(6)
|
The NEO is entitled to coverage under the welfare benefit plans (
e.g.
, health, dental, etc.) for two years (1.5 years for Ms. Perry and Ms. Thompson) following the date of termination.
|
(7)
|
The amounts stated in the table represent the gross value of previously unvested restricted units, derived by multiplying (x) the number of units whose restrictions lapsed because of the change of control, times (y) (as applicable) $40.10 (the closing price of NuStar Energy’s units on the NYSE on December 31, 2015) or $21.15 (the closing price of NuStar GP Holdings’ units on the NYSE on December 31, 2015).
|
(8)
|
The amounts stated in the table represent the product of (x) the number of performance units whose vesting was accelerated because of the change of control, times (y) 200%, times (z) $40.10 (the closing price of NuStar Energy’s units on the NYSE on December 31, 2015).
|
(9)
|
If any payment or benefit to Mr. Barron, Mr. Shoaf or Ms. Brown is determined to be subject to an excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code, the impacted NEO is entitled to receive an additional payment to adjust for the incremental tax cost of the payment or benefit. However, if it is determined that the NEO is entitled to receive an additional payment to adjust for the incremental tax cost but the value of all payments to the NEO does not exceed 100% of 2.99 times the NEO’s “base amount” (as defined by Section 280G(b)(3) of the Code) (the Safe Harbor Amount), the additional payment will not be made and the amount payable to the NEO will be reduced so that the aggregate value of all payments equals the Safe Harbor Amount.

The amounts reported for Messrs. Greehey, Bates, Hill and Rosier represent the grant date fair value for the November 16, 2015 grant of restricted NuStar Energy units to them as non-employee directors for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 (2,324 restricted units for Mr. Greehey, as Chairman, and 1,743 restricted units for each of Messrs. Bates, Hill and Rosier) based on the closing price of NuStar Energy’s units on the NYSE on November 16, 2015 ($43.02). Mr. Patton retired from the Board during 2015. Accordingly, Mr. Patton did not receive a restricted unit grant in 2015. The amount reported for Mr. Patton represents the incremental value associated with the acceleration of 2,053 of Mr. Patton’s outstanding restricted units in connection with his retirement, based on the closing price of NuStar Energy’s units on the NYSE on May 1, 2015 ($66.69). Please see “Compensation Discussion and Analysis-Impact of Accounting and Tax Treatments-Accounting Treatment” above in this Item 11 for information regarding the assumptions made in the valuation.

Historically, grants under NuStar GP, LLC’s long-term incentive plans have not diluted the interests of NuStar Energy unitholders because, upon the vesting of a restricted unit or performance unit or the exercise of a unit option granted under NuStar GP, LLC’s plan, NuStar GP, LLC has purchased NuStar Energy units on the open market to satisfy that vesting or exercise and no new NuStar Energy units were issued to satisfy these vestings. On January 28, 2016, NuStar Energy’s unitholders approved the amendment and restatement of the 2000 LTIP, which provides the ability to issue new NuStar Energy units to satisfy the vesting or exercise of awards under the plan. See the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” section of Item 11. “Executive Compensation.”
