FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion of the financial condition and results of operations of Macquarie Infrastructure Corporation (MIC) should be read in conjunction with the consolidated condensed financial statements and the notes to those statements included elsewhere herein.

MIC is a Delaware corporation formed on May 21, 2015. MIC’s predecessor, Macquarie Infrastructure Company LLC, was formed on April 13, 2004. Except as otherwise specified, all references in this Form 10-Q to “MIC”, “we”, “us”, and “our” refer to Macquarie Infrastructure Corporation and its subsidiaries.

MIC is externally managed by Macquarie Infrastructure Management (USA) Inc. (our Manager), pursuant to the terms of a Management Services Agreement, that is subject to the oversight and supervision of our Board of Directors. The majority of the members of our Board of Directors, and each member of all Board Committees, is independent and has no affiliation with Macquarie. Our Manager is a member of the Macquarie Group of companies comprising the Macquarie Group Limited and its subsidiaries and affiliates worldwide. Macquarie Group Limited is headquartered in Australia and is listed on the Australian Securities Exchange.

We currently own and operate a diversified portfolio of businesses that provide services to other businesses, government agencies and individuals primarily in the U.S. The businesses we own and operate are organized into four segments:

International-Matex Tank Terminals (IMTT):    a business providing bulk liquid terminalling to third parties at 17 terminals in the U.S. and two in Canada;
Atlantic Aviation:   a provider of fuel, terminal, aircraft hangaring and other services primarily to owners and operators of general aviation (GA) jet aircraft at 70 airports throughout the U.S.;
Contracted Power:   comprising controlling interests in wind and solar facilities in the U.S.; and
MIC Hawaii:   comprising an energy company that processes and distributes gas and provides related services (Hawaii Gas) and several smaller businesses collectively engaged in efforts to reduce the cost and improve the reliability and sustainability of energy in Hawaii.

Through October 12, 2018, our Contracted Power business also included a gas-fired facility. See “ Recent Developments ” below for further information.

Our businesses generally operate in sectors with barriers to entry including high initial development and construction costs, contracted revenues or the requirement to obtain government approvals and a lack of immediate cost-effective alternatives to the services provided. Collectively, they tend to generate sustainable, stable and growing cash flows over the long-term.

Overview

Use of Non-GAAP measures

In addition to our results under U.S. GAAP, we use certain non-GAAP measures to assess the performance and prospects of our businesses. In particular, we use EBITDA excluding non-cash items, Free Cash Flow and certain proportionately combined financial metrics. Proportionately combined financial metrics reflect our proportionate interest in our wind and solar facilities.

We measure EBITDA excluding non-cash items as it reflects our businesses’ ability to effectively manage the volume of products sold or services provided, the operating margin earned on those transactions and the management of operating expenses independent of the capitalization and tax attributes of those businesses.

In analyzing the financial performance of our businesses, we focus primarily on cash generation and Free Cash Flow in particular. We believe investors use Free Cash Flow as a measure of our ability to sustain and potentially increase our quarterly cash dividend and to fund a portion of our growth.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations —  Results of Operations — Consolidated — Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) excluding non-cash items, Free Cash Flow and Proportionately Combined Metrics ” for further information on our calculation of EBITDA excluding non-cash items, Free Cash Flow and our proportionately combined metrics and for reconciliations of non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP measures.

At IMTT, we focus on providing bulk liquid storage, handling and other services to customers who place a premium on ease of access and operational flexibility. The substantial majority of IMTT’s revenue is generated pursuant to “take-or-pay” contracts providing access to storage tank capacity and ancillary services over a revenue weighted average remaining contract life of 2.0 years.

At Atlantic Aviation, our focus is on attracting and maintaining relationships with GA aircraft owners and pilots and encouraging them to purchase fuel and other services from our fixed based operations (FBOs). Atlantic Aviation’s gross margin is positively correlated with the number of GA flight movements in the U.S. and the business’ ability to service a portion of the aircraft involved in those operations.

The businesses that comprise our Contracted Power segment generate revenue by producing and selling electric power pursuant primarily to long-dated power purchase agreements (PPAs).

MIC Hawaii comprises Hawaii Gas and several smaller businesses collectively engaged in efforts to reduce the cost and improve the reliability and sustainability of energy in Hawaii. The businesses of MIC Hawaii generate revenue primarily from the provision of gas services to commercial, residential and governmental customers; the generation of power and the design and construction of building mechanical systems.

Dividends

Since January 1, 2017, MIC has paid or declared the following dividends:

       
          Declared
  Period Covered   $ per Share   Record Date   Payable Date
October 30, 2018
    Third quarter 2018     $ 1.00       November 12, 2018       November 15, 2018

    First quarter 2018       1.00       May 14, 2018       May 17, 2018  
February 19, 2018
    Fourth quarter 2017       1.44       March 5, 2018       March 8, 2018  
October 30, 2017
    Third quarter 2017       1.42       November 13, 2017       November 16, 2017  
August 1, 2017
    Second quarter 2017       1.38       August 14, 2017       August 17, 2017  
May 2, 2017
    First quarter 2017       1.32       May 15, 2017       May 18, 2017  
February 17, 2017
    Fourth quarter 2016       1.31       March 3, 2017       March 8, 2017  

We currently intend to maintain, and where possible, increase our quarterly cash dividend to our shareholders. The MIC Board has authorized a quarterly cash dividend of $1.00 per share for the quarter ended September 30, 2018. MIC has been structured to provide investors with an opportunity to generate an attractive “total return” and we intend to distribute the majority of the cash generated from operations by our businesses as a quarterly dividend.

Our board of directors regularly reviews our dividend policy and payout ratio. In determining whether to adjust the amount of our quarterly dividend, our board will take into account such matters as the state of the capital markets and general business and economic conditions, the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, indebtedness levels, capital requirements, capital opportunities and any contractual, legal and regulatory restrictions on the payment of dividends by the Company to its stockholders or by its subsidiaries to the Company, and any other factors that it deems relevant, subject to maintaining a prudent level of reserves and without creating undue volatility in the amount of such dividends where possible. Moreover, the Company’s senior secured credit facility and the debt commitments at our businesses contain restrictions that may limit the Company’s ability to pay dividends. Although historically we have declared cash dividends on our shares, any or all of these or other factors could result in the modification of our dividend policy, or the reduction, modification or elimination of our dividend in the future.

Recent Developments

BEC Sale

On July 27, 2018, we entered into an agreement to sell 100% of Bayonne Energy Center (BEC) to NHIP II Bayonne Holdings LLC. On October 12, 2018, we concluded the sale of BEC and received cash of $657.4 million, net of the assumption of the outstanding debt balance of $243.5 million by the buyer and subject to post-closing working capital adjustments resulting in a preliminary pre-tax gain of approximately $5.0 million. Any such adjustments could result in an adjustment to the expected gain. Any adjustment is not expected to be significant. We incurred approximately $10.0 million in professional fees in relation to this transaction of which approximately $3.0 million have been recorded through September 30, 2018. We have guaranteed our subsidiary’s payment and certain post-closing indemnity obligations under the purchase agreement.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, BEC contributed approximately $42.0 million of EBITDA excluding non-cash items to the results of the Contracted Power segment. This excludes the warranty settlement from its turbine manufacturer. See “ Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Results of Operations — Contracted Power ” for further discussions.

We have used the proceeds from the sale of BEC and cash on hand to pay down the majority of the outstanding balances on our and our businesses’ revolving credit facilities. The repayment of our revolving credit facilities has strengthened our balance sheet and increased our financial flexibility. We may redraw these facilities in the future, other than $150.0 million of debt we repaid at IMTT that we do not expect to redraw, to fund a portion of our planned growth capital deployments. For further discussions on use of BEC proceeds, see “ Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Liquidity and Capital Resource — Financing Activities ”.

Strategic Review

We continue to review strategic options available to us, including with respect to certain other, smaller businesses in our portfolio in an effort to rationalize our portfolio and enhance the infrastructure characteristics of our businesses. Consistent with this, we commenced a sale process for Critchfield Pacific Inc. (CPI), the design build mechanical contractor that comprises part of our MIC Hawaii segment. Subsequent to quarter end, we reached an agreement to sell the business for a nominal sum in a transaction that we expect will close before the end of the year.

Prior to the execution of the sales agreement, we wrote-down the value of our investment in CPI to reflect its underperformance. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, CPI had made negative contributions to EBITDA excluding non-cash items. This write-down of approximately $30.0 million consists of fixed asset and intangible assets of approximately $9.0 million, as well as a reserve for certain contract related amounts in other current liabilities and other expenses.

In October 2018, we commenced a sale process involving the majority of the assets in our portfolio of wind and solar facilities. We believe a sale of these assets and the redeployment of the proceeds will maximize value relative to attempting to continue to expand the portfolio through acquisitions. We expect to retain two of our solar facilities and to maintain our two existing relationships with developers of renewable power opportunities. The sale process is expected to be concluded in the second quarter of 2019.

Manager Waiver of Base Management Fees

Effective November 1, 2018, our Manager has elected to waive two portions of the base management fee to which it is entitled under the terms of the Managements Services Agreement between us. In effect, this waiver caps the base management fee at 1% of our equity market capitalization and eliminates fees on any debt we have or may incur at our holding company. Although MIMUSA reserves the right to revoke the fee waiver and revert to the prior terms of the agreement subject to providing the Company with not less than a one year notice, MIC believes MIMUSA has no current intent to do so. A revocation of the waiver would not trigger a recapture of previously waived fees. The waivers result in a reduction in the fees paid to the Manager of approximately $10.0 million per year based on the Company’s market value and capital structure at the end of the third quarter.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

New Independent Board Members

On September 5, 2018, we expanded our Board of Directors from seven to nine members and elected two new independent directors, Amanda Brock, the chief operating officer of Solaris Water Midstream, and Maria Jelescu Dreyfus, the chief executive officer of Ardinall Investment Management. In addition, Christopher Frost, our chief executive officer, was elected to the board upon the retirement as a director of our former chief executive officer, James Hooke.

Results of Operations

Consolidated

Our consolidated results reflect a decrease in the contribution from IMTT primarily as a result of the non-renewal of certain contracts for bulk liquid storage and handling services and the absence of deferred revenue recognized in 2017 in connection with the termination of a construction project. These were partially offset by contributions from an acquisition of a portfolio of storage terminals completed in the third quarter of 2017.

Our consolidated results also reflect increased contributions from our Atlantic Aviation and Contracted Power businesses. Atlantic Aviation benefited from contributions from acquisitions, together with the operational leverage inherent in the business, partially offset by decreases in GA flight activity at certain of the airports on which the business operates. The improved contribution from Contracted Power was the result of the BEC plant expansion coming on line and improved wind and solar resources.

MIC Hawaii’s contribution declined primarily as a result of the underperformance of CPI, and the write-down of our investment in that business, together with cost increases at Hawaii Gas. These were partially offset by incremental revenue and EBITDA excluding non-cash items generated by Hawaii Gas in the third quarter as a result of interim rate relief granted by the Hawaii Public Utilities Commission (HPUC) in a general rate case on behalf of the regulated portion of the business at the end of June. The Final Decision and Order could potentially include an unfavorable rate adjustment which may have a retroactive impact on revenues since the Interim Decision and Order.

Results for the third quarter of 2018 also reflect the absence of implementation costs incurred in 2017 related to our shared services facility, but reflects the associated benefit of reductions in procurement costs in 2018. The absence of these expenses was partially offset by the cost of advisory and other services in connection with addressing shareholder matters in 2018.

Capital deployed into acquisitions by each of IMTT and Atlantic Aviation in 2017, as well as growth investments generally, contributed to revenue and EBITDA exluding non-cash items to our overall results in the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2018.

(1) Interest expense includes gains on derivative instruments of $4.8 million and $25.8 million for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively. For the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2017, interest expense includes losses on derivative instruments of $162,000 and $6.9 million, respectively.

Revenue

Consolidated revenues increased for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared with the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2017 primarily as a result of, (i) an increase in the wholesale cost of jet fuel sold at Atlantic Aviation; (ii) an increase in the volume and the wholesale cost of propane and synthetic natural gas sold at Hawaii Gas; (iii) increased capacity and power production by our Contracted Power businesses; and, (iv) contributions from acquisitions. The increase in revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was partially offset by the absence of deferred revenue recognized in 2017 in connection with the termination of a construction project at IMTT.

Results of Operations: Consolidated  – (continued)

Cost of Services and Product Sales

Consolidated cost of services and product sales increased for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared with the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2017 primarily due to, (i) an increase in the wholesale cost of jet fuel at Atlantic Aviation; (ii) an increase in the wholesale cost of propane and synthetic natural gas and lower margins at MIC Hawaii; and, (iii) incremental costs associated with various acquisitions and developments. The changes in consolidated cost of services and product sales also reflect unrealized gains and losses on commodity hedges, principally propane, at Hawaii Gas (see “Results of Operations —  MIC Hawaii ” below).

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared with the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2017 primarily due to, (i) incremental costs associated with acquired and developed businesses; and (ii) approximately $3.0 million of costs incurred for advisory services in connection with addressing shareholder matters. The increases in selling, general and administrative expenses were partially offset by the absence of costs incurred during 2017 in connection with the implementation of our shared services center and lower costs during the third quarter of 2018 in connection with the evaluation of various investment and acquisition/disposition opportunities.

Fees to Manager

Our Manager is entitled to a monthly base management fee based primarily on our market capitalization and potentially a quarterly performance fee based on total stockholder returns relative to a U.S. utilities index. For the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2018, we incurred base management fees of $12.3 million and $36.1 million, respectively, compared with $17.9 million and $54.6 million for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively. No performance fees were incurred in any of the above periods. The unpaid portion of base management fees and performance fees, if any, at the end of each reporting period is included in the line item Due to Manager-related party in our consolidated condensed balance sheets.

In all of the periods shown below, our Manager elected to reinvest any fees to which it was entitled in additional shares. In accordance with the Third Amended and Restated Management Services Agreement, our Manager has currently elected to reinvest future base management fees and performance fees, if any, in new primary shares.

Goodwill Impairment

During the quarter ended September 30, 2018, we wrote-off the goodwill balance related to CPI.

Depreciation

Depreciation expense decreased for the quarter ended September 30, 2018 compared with the quarter ended September 30, 2017 primarily due to the fact that BEC’s assets were no longer depreciated once it was classified as held for sale. The decrease was partially offset by the write-down of fixed assets at CPI and the increase in depreciation expense related to acquisitions and assets placed in service.

Depreciation expense increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2017 primarily due to write-down of fixed assets at CPI and the increase in depreciation expense related to acquisitions and assets placed in service. These increases were partially offset by the decrease in depreciation expense due to the fact that BEC’s assets were no longer depreciated once it was classified as held for sale.

Amortization of Intangibles

Amortization of intangibles increased for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared with the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2017 primarily due to write-off of intangible assets at CPI. The increase was partially offset by the decrease in amortization of intangibles due to the fact that BEC’s assets were no longer amortized once it was classified as held for sale.

Interest Expense and Gains (Losses) on Derivative Instruments

Interest expense includes gains on derivative instruments of $4.8 million and $25.8 million for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, compared with losses on derivative instruments of $162,000 and $6.9 million for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively. Gains and losses on derivatives recorded in interest expense are attributable to the change in fair value of interest rate hedging instruments. Excluding the derivative adjustments, cash interest expense was $32.5 million and $94.1 million for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, compared with $27.1 million and $79.4 million for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively. The increase in cash interest expense reflects primarily a higher average debt balance and an increase in the weighted average interest rate. See discussions of interest expense for each of our operating businesses below.

Other (Expense) Income, net

Other (expense) income, net, changed from other income, net, to other expense, net, primarily due to the write-down in our investment in CPI during the quarter ended September 30, 2018. This is partially offset by a warranty settlement from a manufacturer of BEC turbines in the third quarter of 2018 and higher development fees paid to our Contracted Power business by a developer of renewable power projects during the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

Income Taxes

We file a consolidated federal income tax return that includes the financial results of IMTT, Atlantic Aviation, BEC, MIC Hawaii and our allocable share of the taxable income (loss) from our wind and solar facilities. The wind and solar facilities in which we own less than 100% of the equity interest are held in limited liability companies and treated as partnerships for tax purposes. Pursuant to a tax sharing agreement, the businesses included in our consolidated federal income tax return pay MIC an amount equal to the federal income tax each would have paid on a standalone basis as if they were not part of the consolidated federal income tax return. In addition, our businesses file income tax returns and may pay taxes in the state and local jurisdictions in which they operate.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Results of Operations: Consolidated  – (continued)

For the year ending December 31, 2018, we expect our current year federal taxable income to be approximately $320.0 million, including the expected taxable gain on the sale of BEC. We further expect this liability to be fully offset by net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards. Our initially reported NOL balance at December 31, 2017 was $347.3 million. As a result of the regulations issued by the Internal Revenue Service in August 2018, our federal NOL balance as of December 31, 2017 was revised upward to $373.9 million and we believe we will be able to fully utilize this amount.

We expect to utilize the majority of our federal prior year NOLs in 2018 and therefore, we are likely required to make material federal income tax payments in 2019. The amount of any federal income tax otherwise payable in 2019 is expected to be substantially reduced by tax benefits associated with planned capital deployment of approximately $300.0 million. Conversely, gains from potential sales of assets concluded in 2019 would increase our federal income tax payable.

In addition, we expect our businesses collectively to pay state/provincial income taxes of approximately $22.0 million in 2018, including the expected taxes due on the sale of BEC. In calculating our consolidated state income tax provision, we have provided a valuation allowance for certain state income tax NOLs, the use of which is uncertain.

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act

On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act was signed into law and includes provisions that will have an impact on our federal taxable income. The most significant of these are 100% bonus depreciation on qualifying assets (which is scheduled to decrease ratably to 0% between 2023 and 2027) and a reduction in the federal corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%.

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act also limits the deductibility of net interest expense to 30% of “adjusted taxable income”. We do not expect this limitation to have a material impact to our financial results through 2021.

Noncontrolling Interest

The increased loss attributable to noncontrolling interest for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was driven primarily by the change in tax rates imposed on certain entities within the Contracted Power segment by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.

Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) excluding non-cash items, Free Cash Flow and Proportionately Combined Metrics

In addition to our results under U.S. GAAP, we use certain non-GAAP measures to assess the performance and prospects of our businesses. In particular, we use EBITDA excluding non-cash items, Free Cash Flow and certain proportionately combined financial metrics. Proportionately combined financial metrics reflect our proportionate interest in our wind and solar facilities.

We measure EBITDA excluding non-cash items as it reflects our businesses’ ability to effectively manage the volume of products sold or services provided, the operating margin earned on those transactions and the management of operating expenses independent of the capitalization and tax attributes of those businesses. We believe investors use EBITDA excluding non-cash items primarily as a measure of the operating performance of MIC’s businesses and to make comparisons with the operating performance of other businesses whose depreciation and amortization expense may vary widely from ours, particularly where acquisitions and other non-operating factors are involved. We define EBITDA excluding non-cash items as net income (loss) or earnings —  the most comparable GAAP measure  — before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and non-cash items including impairments, unrealized derivative gains and losses, adjustments for other non-cash items and pension expense reflected in the statements of operations. EBITDA excluding non-cash items also excludes base management fees and performance fees, if any, whether paid in cash or stock.

Results of Operations: Consolidated  – (continued)

Given our varied ownership levels in our Contracted Power and MIC Hawaii segments, together with our obligations to report the results of these businesses on a consolidated basis, GAAP measures such as net income (loss) do not fully reflect all of the items we consider in assessing the amount of cash generated based on our proportionate interest in our wind and solar facilities. We note that the proportionately combined metrics used may be calculated in a different manner by other companies and may limit their usefulness as a comparative measure. Therefore, proportionately combined metrics should be used as a supplemental measure and not in lieu of our financial results reported under GAAP.

Our businesses are characteristically owners of high-value, long-lived assets capable of generating substantial Free Cash Flow. We define Free Cash Flow as cash from operating activities —  the most comparable GAAP measure —  which includes cash interest, tax payments and pension contributions, less maintenance capital expenditures, which includes principal repayments on capital lease obligations used to fund maintenance capital expenditures, and excludes changes in working capital.

We use Free Cash Flow as a measure of our ability to provide investors with an attractive risk-adjusted total return by sustaining and potentially increasing our quarterly cash dividend and funding a portion of our growth. GAAP metrics such as net income (loss) do not provide us with the same level of visibility into the performance and prospects of the business as a result of: (i) the capital intensive nature of our businesses and the generation of non-cash depreciation and amortization; (ii) shares issued to our external Manager under the Management Services Agreement; (iii) our ability to defer all or a portion of current federal income taxes; (iv) non-cash unrealized gains or losses on derivative instruments; (v) amortization of tolling liabilities; (vi) gains (losses) on disposal of assets; and (vii) pension expenses. Pension expenses primarily consist of interest cost, expected return on plan assets and amortization of actuarial and performance gains and losses. Any cash contributions to pension plans are reflected as a reduction to Free Cash Flow and are not included in pension expense. We believe that external consumers of our financial statements, including investors and research analysts, use Free Cash Flow both to assess MIC’s performance and as an indicator of its success in generating an attractive risk-adjusted total return.

In this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we have disclosed Free Cash Flow on a consolidated basis and for each of our operating segments and MIC Corporate. We believe that both EBITDA excluding non-cash items and Free Cash Flow support a more complete and accurate understanding of the financial and operating performance of our businesses than would otherwise be achieved using GAAP results alone.

Free Cash Flow does not take into consideration required payments on indebtedness and other fixed obligations or other cash items that are excluded from our definition of Free Cash Flow. We note that Free Cash Flow may be calculated differently by other companies thereby limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure. Free Cash Flow should be used as a supplemental measure and not in lieu of our financial results reported under GAAP.

Classification of Maintenance Capital Expenditures and Growth Capital Expenditures

We categorize capital expenditures as either maintenance capital expenditures or growth capital expenditures. As neither maintenance capital expenditure nor growth capital expenditure is a GAAP term, we have adopted a framework to categorize specific capital expenditures. In broad terms, maintenance capital expenditures primarily maintain our businesses at current levels of operations, capability, profitability or cash flow, while growth capital expenditures primarily provide new or enhanced levels of operations, capability,profitability or cash flows. We consider a number of factors in determining whether a specific capital expenditure will be classified as maintenance or growth.

We do not bifurcate specific capital expenditures into maintenance and growth components. Each discrete capital expenditure is considered within the above framework and the entire capital expenditure is classified as either maintenance or growth.

Results of Operations: IMTT

The financial performance of IMTT is in large part a function of the amount of bulk liquid storage capacity under lease and the storage rates achieved on those leases. IMTT recorded financial results for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2018 that reflect a previously forecast decline in storage capacity utilization and lower average storage rates, partially offset by contributions from an acquisition in 2017.

The portion of IMTT’s storage capacity under lease declined to an average of 82.1% for the quarter ended September 30, 2018 compared with 92.7% in the prior comparable quarter and 86.1% in the quarter ended June 30, 2018. Average storage rates declined primarily as a result of lower rates achieved on renewal of gasoline and distillates contracts in New York Harbor. IMTT expects the lower storage rates for gasoline and distillates in New York Harbor to continue to impact its financial results through 2019, although this impact is expected to be partially offset by increases in storage utilization and an increase in demand for storage related to the implementation of the International Maritime Organization’s IMO Marpol Annex VI (IMO 2020) regulations limiting the sulphur content of bunker fuel beginning January 1, 2020.

IMTT is currently both involved in and evaluating a number of initiatives related to repurposing existing storage capacity and repositioning the overall business:

Repurposing

IMTT anticipates cleaning and modifying tanks on the Lower Mississippi River totaling up to approximately 3.0 million barrels of capacity, along with related infrastructure, from heavy and residual oil storage to storage of products with potentially better growth prospects such as clean petroleum, chemical and agricultural oils. Approximately 1.3 million barrels of storage capacity is being repurposed currently and approximately 600,000 of these barrels are expected to be returned to service by year end. Through the third quarter, approximately 900,000 of the 1.3 million barrels had been re-contracted (including contracts with future start dates) with the remainder expected to be re-contracted in November 2018.

11


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Results of Operations: IMTT  – (continued)

The cost of repurposing the 1.3 million barrels of storage capacity is estimated at approximately $12.0 million in 2018, of which approximately $7.0 million will be characterized as maintenance capital expenditures. Through the end of the third quarter of 2018, IMTT had deployed $6.9 million of the $12.0 million. The repurposing of additional barrels is expected to be completed by the end of 2020.

Repositioning

Repositioning includes projects designed to leverage IMTT’s existing geographic footprint through increases in capacity or capability designed to meet customer demand and/or further diversify the mix of products handled. For example, in the second quarter of 2018, IMTT announced that it had entered into an agreement to construct an additional 200,000 barrels of capacity for a chemicals manufacturer.

Other repositioning projects under consideration or in process include enhancing terminal connectivity by investing in truck, pipeline, marine and rail infrastructure. In the third quarter, IMTT commenced the development of an automated, multi-product, six bay truck rack to improve its intermodal distribution capabilities in the New York Harbor market and is expected to be in service in late 2019.

In the fourth quarter, IMTT completed negotiations on an agreement with Methanex that will see the business construct 714,000 barrels of chemical storage capacity and associated infrastructure at its Geismar Chemical Logistics facility. The project is subject to a final investment decision by Methanex on the construction of a third methanol manufacturing plant in Geismar (Geismar 3) alongside its two existing facilities. A final investment decision is expected in mid-2019.

IMTT also entered into agreements to construct an additional dock at its Geismar facility that will support the existing business, the Methanex project and future expansion opportunities. The dock is expected to be operational by the end of 2019.

IMTT’s aggregate investment in the three new projects is estimated to be $80.0 million.

The successful implementation of the repurposing and repositioning initiatives is, over time, expected to, (i) improve utilization and rates, (ii) increase exposure to products with better growth prospects, (iii) generate a larger proportion of IMTT’s revenue from longer-dated contracts and, (iv) reduce exposure to heavy and residual oil storage demand.

Revenue

IMTT generates the majority of its revenue from contracts comprising a fixed monthly charge for access to or use of a specified amount of capacity, infrastructure or land. The monthly charge typically increases annually with inflation. We refer to revenue generated from such contracts or fixed charges as firm commitments. At September 30, 2018, firm commitments had a revenue weighted average remaining contract life of 2.0 years, although some customers storing certain petroleum products are renewing contracts for shorter durations. Revenue from firm commitments comprised 84.8% and 80.3% of total revenue for the quarter and trailing twelve months ended September 30, 2018, respectively.

For the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2018, total revenue decreased compared with the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2017 primarily due to the decline in utilization and lower average storage rates on contract renewals, reduced environmental response revenue as a result of the sale of IMTT’s subsidiary OMI Environmental Solutions (OMI) in April 2018 and lower deferred revenue recognized in connection with the termination of a construction project in 2017. The decrease in revenue was partially offset by contributions from an acquisition of a portfolio of terminals completed in the third quarter of 2017.

Cost of Services and Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Cost of services and selling, general and administrative expenses combined decreased for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared with the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2017 primarily due to the absence of costs related to OMI. The cost decreases were partially offset by incremental costs related to the terminals acquired in 2017.

Cost of services is expected to increase during the fourth quarter of 2018, and subsequently, as a result of an expected increase in property taxes assessed on the terminal at St. Rose.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expense increased for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared with the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2017 primarily due to an acquisition of terminals in 2017.

Interest Expense, Net

Interest expense includes gains on derivative instruments of $1.2 million and $6.8 million for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, compared with gains on derivative instruments of $124,000 and losses on derivative instruments of $1.5 million for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively. Excluding the derivative adjustments, cash interest expense was $12.2 million and $35.4 million for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, compared with $10.3 million and $29.7 million for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively. The increase in cash interest expense reflects a higher average debt balance and a higher weighted average interest rate.

The interest rate on IMTT’s tax-exempt Gulf Opportunity Zone Bonds (GO Zone Bonds) increased by 0.7% in 2018 as a result of the reduction in the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.

Income Taxes

The taxable income generated by IMTT is reported on our consolidated federal income tax return. The business files standalone state/provincial income tax returns in the jurisdictions in which it operates. For the year ending December 31, 2018, the business expects to pay state/provincial income taxes of approximately $5.0 million. The Benefit (provision) for current income taxes of $6.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 in the above table includes $4.9 million of state/provincial income tax expense and $1.2 million of federal income tax expense. Any current federal income tax payable is expected to be offset in consolidation with the application of MIC holding company level NOLs.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Results of Operations: IMTT  – (continued)

The majority of the difference between IMTT’s book and federal taxable income relates to depreciation of terminal fixed assets. For book purposes, these fixed assets are depreciated primarily over 5 to 30 years using the straight-line method of depreciation. For federal income tax purposes, these same fixed assets are depreciated primarily over 5 to 15 years using accelerated methods. In addition, most terminal fixed assets qualify for federal bonus tax depreciation. A significant portion of terminal fixed assets in Louisiana that were constructed in the period after Hurricane Katrina in 2005 were financed with GO Zone Bonds. GO Zone Bond financed assets are depreciated, for tax purposes, primarily over 9 to 20 years using the straight-line method. Most of the states in which the business operates do not allow the use of bonus tax depreciation. Louisiana allows the use of bonus depreciation except for assets financed with GO Zone Bonds.

Maintenance Capital Expenditures

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, IMTT incurred maintenance capital expenditures of $21.3 million on both an accrual basis and cash basis, compared with $13.6 million and $16.4 million on an accrual basis and cash basis, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The increase in 2018 compared with 2017 was primarily a result of expenditures related to the repurposing of storage capacity and the timing of tank and dock inspections and repairs.

Maintenance capital expenditures for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 includes $4.0 million associated with repurposing existing tanks. For the full year, IMTT anticipates spending approximately $12.0 million on repurposing existing tanks with approximately $7.0 million of that being characterized as maintenance capital expenditures. The expenditures related to repurposing will be in addition to a forecast of approximately $25.0 million of recurring maintenance capital expenditures.

Results of Operations: Atlantic Aviation

The fundamental driver of the performance of Atlantic Aviation is the number of GA flight movements (take-offs and landings) in a given period. Based on data reported by the FAA, industry-wide domestic GA flight movements increased by 1.1% and 1.9% for the two month period including July and August and the eight months ended August 31, 2018, respectively, compared with the same periods in 2017. The number of GA flight movements tends to be correlated with general economic activity over the long-term. Factors that could impact GA flight movements either positively or negatively in the short-term include traffic constraints due to repairs and maintenance of runways, weather conditions or events, the timing of public and religious holidays and events, including major sporting events.

The total number of GA flight movements at airports on which Atlantic Aviation operates decreased by 2.0% and 0.1% during the two month period including July and August and the eight months ended August 31, 2018, respectively, compared with the same periods in 2017. The decrease was the result of a number of the aforementioned short-term factors, several of which had a positive impact on the prior comparable periods, together with decreased traffic at Santa Monica Municipal Airport in Santa Monica, CA as a result of the shortening of the runway. Atlantic Aviation believes that growth in GA flight movements will continue to be positively correlated with growth in economic activity and GDP. Flight movements at airports on which Atlantic Aviation operates, other than Santa Monica, decreased by 0.7% for the two month period including July and August and increased 1.1% the eight months ended August 31, 2018.

Atlantic Aviation seeks to extend FBO leases prior to their maturity in order to maintain visibility into the cash generating capacity of these assets over the long-term. Atlantic Aviation calculates a weighted average remaining lease life based on EBITDA excluding non-cash items in the prior calendar year adjusted for the impact of acquisitions/dispositions. The weighted average remaining lease life was 19.9 years at September 30, 2018 compared with 20.7 years at September 30, 2017.

Atlantic Aviation generates the majority of its revenue from sales of jet fuel. Increases and decreases in the cost of jet fuel are generally passed through to consumers. Accordingly, revenue will fluctuate based on the cost of jet fuel to Atlantic Aviation and reported revenue may not reflect the business’ ability to effectively manage volume and gross margin. For example, an increase in revenue may be attributable to an increase in the cost of the jet fuel and not an increase in the volume sold or margin per gallon to the customer. Conversely, a decline in revenue may be attributable to a decrease in the cost of jet fuel and not a reduction in the volume sold or margin per gallon.

Gross margin, which we define as revenue less cost of services, excluding depreciation and amortization, is the effective “top line” for Atlantic Aviation as it is reflective of the business’ ability to drive growth in the volume of products and services sold and the margins earned on those sales over time. We believe that our investors view gross margin as reflective of our ability to manage volume and price throughout the commodity cycle. Gross margin can be reconciled to operating income —  the most comparable GAAP measure  — by subtracting selling, general and administrative expenses and depreciation and amortization in the table above.

Revenue and Gross Margin

The majority of the revenue generated and gross margin earned by Atlantic Aviation is the result of fueling GA aircraft at facilities located at the 70 U.S. airports on which the business operates. Atlantic Aviation seeks to maintain and, where appropriate, increase dollar-based margins on fuel sales.

Revenue and gross margin are driven, in part, by the volume of fuel sold and the dollar-based margin/fee per gallon on those sales. Revenue increased for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared with the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2017 as a result of increases in the wholesale cost of fuel and contributions from acquisitions. The increased wholesale cost of fuel was largely offset by a corresponding increase in cost of services, contributing to an increase in gross margin for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared with the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2017. The improvement in gross margin primarily reflects an increased contribution from hangar rentals and ancillary fees, in addition to acquisitions.

Our discussion of same store results in the current and prior comparable periods reflects contributions from FBOs that have been in operation for the same full months in each period, and excludes the costs of acquiring, integrating or disposing of FBOs. On a same store basis, gross margin increased by 0.1% and 2.7% in the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, compared with the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2017 driven by an increased contribution from hangar rentals and ancillary fees.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses were flat for the quarter ended September 30, 2018 compared with the quarter ended September 30, 2017. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2017, selling general and administrative expenses increased primarily as a result of rent increases and higher labor costs, including those related to acquisitions.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expense increased for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared with the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2017 primarily as a result of contributions from acquisitions and assets placed in service.

Operating Income

Operating income increased for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared with the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2017 due to the increase in gross margin, partially offset by the increase in selling, general and administrative expenses and the increase in depreciation and amortization.

Results of Operations: Atlantic Aviation  – (continued)

Interest Expense, Net

Interest expense includes gains on derivative instruments of $1.5 million and $8.5 million for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, compared with losses on derivative instruments of $219,000 and $2.9 million for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively. Excluding the derivative adjustments, cash interest expense was $7.4 million and $20.6 million for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, compared with $5.5 million and $15.4 million for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively. The increase in cash interest expense reflects a higher average debt balance and a higher weighted average interest rate.

Cash interest expense for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 includes the cash interest expense on the $402.5 million of the MIC Corporate 2.00% Convertible Senior Notes issued in October 2016 and due in October 2023. The proceeds from the note issuance were used principally to reduce the drawn balance of Atlantic Aviation’s revolving credit facility.

Income Taxes

The taxable income generated by Atlantic Aviation is included in our consolidated federal income tax return. The business files standalone state income tax returns in the majority of the states in which it operates. The tax expense in the table above includes both state taxes and the portion of the consolidated federal tax liability attributable to the business.

For the year ending December 31, 2018, Atlantic Aviation expects to pay state income taxes of approximately $8.0 million. The Provision for current income taxes of $19.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 in the above table includes $13.8 million of federal income tax expense and $5.7 million of state income tax expense. Any current federal income tax payable is expected to be offset in consolidation with the application of MIC holding company level NOLs.

Maintenance Capital Expenditures

For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, Atlantic Aviation incurred maintenance capital expenditures of $5.3 million and $5.5 million on an accrual basis and cash basis, respectively, compared with $5.1 million and $5.6 million on an accrual basis and cash basis, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

Results of Operations: Contracted Power

The performance of our Contracted Power segment is broadly a function of the availability of wind and solar resources and, through the third quarter of 2018, the demand for peaking power in New York City. Following the sale of BEC, our thermal power facility serving New York City, on October 12, 2018, Contracted Power comprises solely wind and solar facilities and any contribution that may result from our relationships with two renewable power project developers.

Results of Operations: Contracted Power  – (continued)

Revenue

Revenue increased for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared with the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2017 due to the contribution from the BEC plant expansion and better wind and solar resources.

Cost of Product Sales

Cost of product sales increased for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared with the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2017 due to the completion of the BEC plant expansion in May 2018.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared with the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2017 primarily due to the BEC plant expansion and higher development-related expenses. These increases were partially offset by lower insurance costs at BEC.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expense decreased for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared with the quarter and nine ended September 30, 2017 primarily due to the fact that BEC’s assets were no longer depreciated or amortized once it was classified as held for sale.

Other Income, Net

Other income, net, decreased for the quarter ended September 30, 2018 compared with the quarter ended September 30, 2017 primarily due to development fees paid to the Contracted Power business by a developer of renewable power projects in 2017, partially offset by a warranty settlement from a manufacturer of BEC turbines in 2018.

Other income, net, increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2017 primarily due to higher development fees paid to the Contracted Power business by a developer of renewable power projects and a warranty settlement from a manufacturer of BEC turbines in 2018.

Interest Expense, Net

Interest expense includes gains on derivative instruments of $1.8 million and $9.2 million for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, compared with losses on derivative instruments of $82,000 and $2.4 million for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively. Excluding the derivative adjustments, cash interest expense was $6.4 million and $19.5 million for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, compared with $6.8 million and $20.6 million for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively. The decrease in cash interest expense reflects primarily a lower average debt balance related to scheduled amortization on all facilities.

Income Taxes

Our wind and solar facilities are held in limited liability companies that are treated as pass through entities for tax purposes. As such, these entities do not pay federal or state income taxes on a standalone basis, but each owner pays federal and state income taxes on its allocable share of taxable income. For the year ending December 31, 2018, MIC expects its share of the federal taxable income from these facilities to be a loss of approximately $1.0 million. For 2017, MIC’s share of the federal taxable income from these facilities was a loss of approximately $13.0 million.

Results of Operations: Contracted Power  – (continued)

The taxable income generated by BEC’s operations is included in our consolidated federal income tax return and is subject to New York state income tax as part of a combined return. For the year ending December 31, 2018, with the closing of the sale of BEC, the business expects to have a state income tax liability in New Jersey and New York totaling approximately $8.0 million.

Noncontrolling Interest

The increase in loss attributable to noncontrolling interest for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was driven primarily by the change in tax rates imposed on certain entities by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.

Results of Operations: MIC Hawaii

The decreased contribution from our MIC Hawaii businesses for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2018 reflects primarily continued poor performance at CPI and the related write-down of our investment as discussed in “ Recent Developments ” above. The decrease is partially offset by improved performance in the utility portion of our Hawaii Gas business. In October 2018, consistent with initiatives that will focus MIC on its core lines of business, we decided to sell CPI and expect to complete the sale before the end of 2018.

In August 2017, Hawaii Gas filed a general rate case with the HPUC. On June 27, 2018, the HPUC issued an Interim Decision and Order providing the regulated utility operations of Hawaii Gas with interim rate relief. New rates reflecting the decision went into effect on July 1, 2018 and are expected to result in an increase in regulated revenue over present rates of $8.9 million, or 8.4%, annually. The HPUC is expected to issue a Final Decision and Order subject to, among other things, the completion by Hawaii Gas of the Honouliuli Waste Water Treatment Plant Biogas Project. The project is currently estimated to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2018.

MIC Hawaii comprises Hawaii Gas and several smaller businesses collectively engaged in efforts to reduce the cost and improve the reliability and sustainability of energy in Hawaii. The businesses of MIC Hawaii generate revenue primarily from the provision of gas services to commercial, residential and governmental customers, the generation of power and the design and construction of building mechanical systems.

Hawaii Gas generates a significant portion of its revenue from the sale of gas. Accordingly, revenue can fluctuate based on the wholesale cost of gas to Hawaii Gas and may not reflect the business’ ability to effectively manage volume and gross margin. For example, an increase in revenue may be attributable to an increase in the wholesale cost of gas and not an increase in the volume sold or margin per therm. Conversely, a decline in revenue may be attributable to a decrease in the wholesale cost of gas and not a reduction in volume sold or margin per therm.

Gross margin, which we define as revenue less cost of product sales and services, excluding depreciation and amortization, is the effective “top line” for Hawaii Gas as it is reflective of the business’ ability to drive growth in the volume of products and services and the margins earned on those sales over time. We believe that investors utilize gross margin as it is reflective of our performance in managing volume and price throughout the commodity cycle. Gross margin is reconciled to operating income —  the most comparable GAAP measure  — by subtracting selling, general and administrative expenses and depreciation and amortization in the table above.

Revenue and Gross Margin

Revenue increased for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared with the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2017. The increase was primarily attributable to increases in the volume of utility and nonutility gas sold and a higher average price per therm of utility gas sold by Hawaii Gas together with higher revenue from distributed generation assets, partially offset by lower revenue from CPI. On an underlying basis, adjusting for changes in customer inventory, the volume of gas sold increased by 1.8% and 4.8% in the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, compared with the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2017.

Gross margin decreased by $3.5 million and $6.2 million for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, compared with the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2017. The decline was partially attributable to unfavorable movements in commodity hedges. The business recorded unrealized gains of $305,000 and unrealized losses of $3.0 million for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, compared with unrealized gains of $4.0 million and unrealized losses of $1.7 million for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, on the commodity hedges.

Excluding the impact of unrealized gains and losses on commodity hedges, gross margin was flat for the quarter ended September 30, 2018 compared with the quarter ended September 30, 2017, and decreased $4.9 million, or 7.5%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The decline for the nine months ended was September 30, 2018 attributable primarily to (i) lower margins at CPI due to increased costs on fixed revenue contracts attributable to higher labor costs, project delays and general construction cost escalation in Hawaii; and (ii) lower margins at Hawaii Gas’ non-utility business. Gross margin at Hawaii Gas for the quarter ended September 30, 2018 reflects the increase in interim rates for the utility business.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Results of Operations: MIC Hawaii  – (continued)

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared with the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2017 primarily driven by higher salaries and benefit costs.

Goodwill Impairment

During the quarter ended September 30, 2018, MIC Hawaii wrote-off the goodwill balance related to CPI.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expense increased for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared with the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2017 primarily due to the write-offs of the intangible assets and fixed assets balances at CPI.

Operating (Loss) Income

Operating (loss) income decreased for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared with the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2017 due to the increase in depreciation and amortization expenses, the decrease in gross margin, goodwill impairment and increase in selling, general and administrative expenses.

Interest Expense, Net

Interest expense includes gains on derivative instruments of $222,000 and $1.3 million for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, compared with gains on derivative instruments of $15,000 and losses on derivative instruments of $158,000 for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively. Excluding the derivative adjustments, cash interest expense was $1.9 million and $5.7 million for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, compared with $1.8 million and $5.4 million for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively. The increase in cash interest expense reflect primarily a higher average debt balance outstanding.

Other Expenses, Net

Other expense, net, increased for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared with the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2017 primarily due to the write-down of our investment in CPI during the quarter ended September 30, 2018.

Income Taxes

The taxable income generated by the MIC Hawaii businesses is reported on our consolidated federal income tax return and is subject to Hawaii state income tax on a stand-alone basis. The tax expense in the table above includes both state tax and the portion of the consolidated federal tax liability attributable to the businesses. For the year ending December 31, 2018, the business expects to pay state income taxes of approximately $500,000. The Provision for current income taxes of $3.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 in the above table includes $3.2 million of federal income tax expense and $87,000 of state income tax expense. Any current federal income tax payable is expected to be offset in consolidation with the application of MIC holding company level NOLs.

Maintenance Capital Expenditures

For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, MIC Hawaii incurred maintenance capital expenditures of $5.6 million and $5.7 million on an accrual basis and cash basis, respectively, compared with $4.4 million and $4.7 million on an accrual basis and cash basis, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

General

Our primary cash requirements include normal operating expenses, debt service, debt principal payments, payments of dividends and capital expenditures. Our primary source of cash is operating activities, although we may draw on credit facilities for capital expenditures, issue new equity or debt or sell assets to generate cash.

We may from time to time seek to purchase or retire our outstanding debt in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Such repurchases, if any, will depend on market conditions, our liquidity needs and other factors.

At September 30, 2018, including BEC debt classified as held for sale in our consolidated condensed balance sheet, our consolidated debt outstanding totaled $3,690.7 million (excluding adjustments for unamortized debt discounts), our consolidated cash balance totaled $50.2 million and consolidated available capacity under our revolving credit facilities totaled $955.5 million, excluding letters of credit outstanding of $48.4 million.

Following the quarter end, we have used the proceeds from the sale of BEC and cash on hand to pay down the majority of the outstanding balances on our and our businesses’ revolving credit facilities. The repayment of our revolving credit facilities has strengthened our balance sheet and increased our financial flexibility. We may redraw these facilities in the future, other than $150.0 million of debt we repaid at IMTT that we do not expect to redraw, to fund a portion of our planned growth capital deployments.

In July 2018, we included our 2.875% Convertible Senior Notes due July 2019 in the current portion of the long-term debt on our consolidated condensed balance sheet. We expect to refinance this debt prior to its maturity in July 2019.

(3) On February 12, 2018, Hawaii Gas completed the refinancing of its existing $60.0 million revolving credit facility and extended its maturity to February 2023.
(4) Excludes letters of credit outstanding of $37.8 million.

We will, in general, apply cash to the repayment of revolving credit facility balances as a means of minimizing interest expense and draw on those facilities to fund growth projects and for general corporate purposes.

We use revolving credit facilities at each of our operating companies and the holding company as a source of liquidity to meet future requirements, manage interest expense and fund growth projects. We base our assessment of the sufficiency of our liquidity and capital resources on the assumptions that:

our businesses overall generate, and are expected to continue to generate, significant operating cash flow;
the ongoing capital expenditures associated with our businesses are readily funded from their respective operating cash flow or available debt facilities; and
we will be able to refinance, extend and/or repay the principal amount of maturing long-term debt on terms that can be supported by our businesses.

We capitalize our businesses in part using floating rate bank debt with medium-term maturities of between five and seven years. In general, we hedge any floating rate exposure for the majority of the term of these facilities. We also use longer dated private placement debt and other forms of capital including bond or hybrid debt instruments to capitalize our businesses. In general, the debt facilities at our businesses are non-recourse to the holding company and there are no cross-collateralization or cross-guarantee provisions in these facilities.

Our wind and solar facilities are financed primarily with fully amortizing non-recourse project finance style debt with maturities prior to or coterminous with the expiration of the underlying PPAs.

(1) Conformed to current period presentation for the adoption of ASU No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash . See Note 2, “Basis of Presentation”, in our Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in Part I of this Form 10-Q for recently issued accounting standards.

Operating Activities

Cash provided by (used in) operating activities is generally comprised of EBITDA excluding non-cash items (as defined by us), less cash interest, tax and pension payments, and changes in working capital. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations —  Results of Operations ” for discussions around the components of EBITDA excluding non-cash items on a consolidated basis and for each of our businesses above.

The increase in consolidated cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was primarily due to:

the improvement in collection of accounts receivable on higher balances from the increase in the cost of jet fuel at Atlantic Aviation and the increase in the cost of propane and synthetic natural gas at MIC Hawaii;
timing of prepaid expenses, primarily related to insurance premiums; and
collection of development fees and interest receivable from a renewables developer on a revolving credit facility provided by our Contracted Power business; partially offset by
an increase in interest expense; and
an increase in current state taxes.

Investing Activities

Cash provided by investing activities include proceeds from divestitures of businesses and fixed assets. Cash used in investing activities include acquisitions of businesses in new and existing segments and capital expenditures. Acquisitions of businesses are generally funded by raising additional equity and/or drawings on credit facilities.

In general, maintenance capital expenditures are funded by cash from operating activities and growth capital expenditures are funded by drawing on our available credit facilities or with equity capital. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations —  Results of Operation ” for maintenance capital expenditures for each of our businesses.

The decrease in consolidated cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was primarily due to:

a larger amount of acquisition and investment activities completed in 2017;
a decrease in capital expenditures generally;

28


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Liquidity and Capital Resources – (continued)

proceeds from the sale of businesses during 2018; and
a decrease in net borrowings by a renewables developer on a revolving credit facility provided by our Contracted Power business.

Capital Deployment

Capital deployment includes growth capital expenditures and “bolt-on” acquisitions, the majority of which are expected to generate incremental earnings. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, we deployed $138.6 million and $541.5 million, respectively, of growth capital in our existing businesses including an on-field consolidation (acquisition) of an FBO for $11.4 million during the first quarter of 2018.

We continuously evaluate opportunities to prudently deploy capital in acquisitions and growth projects, whether in our existing businesses or new lines of business. We expect to undertake a number of capital projects related to the repurposing and repositioning of certain assets at IMTT and the improvement in capacity and capabilities of the businesses in our other segments. We expect to deploy approximately $200.0 million of capital into growth projects and “bolt-on” acquisitions during the year.

Financing Activities

Cash provided by financing activities primarily includes new equity issuance and debt issuance related to acquisitions and capital expenditures. Cash used in financing activities primarily includes dividends to our stockholders and the repayment of debt principal balances on maturing debt.

The change from consolidated cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 to cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was primarily due to:

a decrease in net borrowings used partially to fund capital deployment and general corporate purposes; partially offset by
a decrease in dividends paid to stockholders in 2018.

IMTT

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, IMTT borrowed $17.0 million primarily for general corporate purposes and repaid $10.0 million on its revolving credit facility. At September 30, 2018, IMTT had $1.3 billion of total debt outstanding consisting of $600.0 million of senior notes, $509.0 million of tax-exempt bonds and $217.0 million drawn on its revolving credit facility. IMTT has access to $600.0 million of revolving credit facilities, of which $383.0 million remained undrawn at September 30, 2018.

In October 2018, using the proceeds from the sale of BEC and cash on hand, we repaid in full the outstanding balance of $217.0 million on the IMTT revolving credit facility.

Cash interest expense was $35.4 million and $29.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. At September 30, 2018, IMTT was in compliance with its financial covenants.

Atlantic Aviation

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, Atlantic Aviation borrowed $33.0 million on its revolving credit facility primarily to fund an on-field consolidation of an FBO and for general corporate purposes. At September 30, 2018, Atlantic Aviation had total debt outstanding of $666.0 million comprised of a $375.0 million senior secured, first lien term loan facility and a $291.0 million balance outstanding on its senior secured, first lien revolving credit facility. Atlantic Aviation has access to a $350.0 million revolving credit facility, of which $59.0 million remained undrawn at September 30, 2018.

In October 2018, using the proceeds from the sale of BEC and cash on hand, we repaid in full the outstanding balance of $291.0 million on the Atlantic Aviation revolving credit facility.

The proceeds from the note issuance were used principally to reduce the drawn balance of Atlantic Aviation’s revolving credit facility. At September 30, 2018, Atlantic Aviation was in compliance with its financial covenants.

Contracted Power

At September 30, 2018, the businesses within our Contracted Power segment had $556.7 million in term loans outstanding, of which $243.5 million related to BEC and was classified as held for sale in the consolidated condensed balance sheet. Cash interest expense paid by these businesses was $19.5 million and $20.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

At September 30, 2018, BEC also had access to a revolving credit facility of $25.0 million that was undrawn. Cash interest expense for BEC was $7.5 million and $7.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. At September 30, 2018, BEC was in compliance with its financial covenants. On October 12, 2018, we concluded the sale of BEC and received cash of $657.4 million, net of the assumption of the outstanding debt balance of $243.5 million by the buyer.

At September 30, 2018, our wind and solar facilities had an aggregate $313.2 million in term loan debt outstanding. Cash interest expense totaled $12.0 million and $12.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. At September 30, 2018, all of the wind and solar facilities were in compliance with their respective financial covenants.

MIC Hawaii

At September 30, 2018, the businesses of MIC Hawaii had total debt outstanding of $213.2 million comprising $198.2 million in term loans and $15.0 million outstanding on revolving credit facilities. Cash interest expense totaled $5.7 million and $5.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

In February 2018, Hawaii Gas exercised the second of two one-year extensions related to its $80.0 million secured term loan facility and its $60.0 million revolving credit facility extending their respective maturities to February 2023.

At September 30, 2018, Hawaii Gas had total debt outstanding of $180.0 million in term loan and senior secured note borrowings and $15.0 million outstanding on its revolving credit facility. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, Hawaii Gas borrowed $20.0 million for general corporate purposes and repaid $5.0 million on its revolving credit facility. Cash interest expense was $5.2 million and $4.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

In October 2018, using the proceeds from the sale of BEC and cash on hand, we repaid in full the outstanding balance of $15.0 million on the Hawaii Gas revolving credit facility.

During the quarters ended March 31, 2018 and June 30, 2018, Hawaii Gas was not in compliance with certain credit agreement provisions. In the quarter ended September 30, 2018, the business received waivers from its syndicate of lenders relating to the non-compliance. At September 30, 2018, Hawaii Gas was again in compliance with its credit agreement having received waivers from its lenders.

At September 30, 2018, the other businesses within MIC Hawaii had $18.2 million of debt outstanding, consisting primarily of $16.0 million term loan debt related to our solar facilities. At September 30, 2018, these businesses were in compliance with their financial covenants.

MIC Corporate

At September 30, 2018, MIC had $350.0 million of 2.875% Convertible Senior Notes due July 2019 and $402.5 million of 2.00% Convertible Senior Notes due October 2023 outstanding. At September 30, 2018, MIC also had an outstanding balance on a $600.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility of $176.5 million.

In October 2018, using the proceeds from the sale of BEC and cash on hand, we repaid $150.0 million on our revolving credit facility.

Cash interest expense was $12.9 million and $8.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Cash interest expense in both periods excludes the cash interest expense related to the $402.5 million of 2.00% Convertible Senior Notes issued in October 2016 and due in October 2023. The proceeds from the note issuance were used principally to reduce the drawn balance of Atlantic Aviation’s revolving credit facility. See Atlantic Aviation above. At September 30, 2018, MIC Corporate was in compliance with its financial covenants.

For a description of the material terms and debt covenants of MIC and its businesses, see Note 7, “Long-Term Debt”, in Part II, Item 8, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017.

Commitments and Contingencies

Except as noted above, at September 30, 2018, there were no material changes in our commitments and contingencies compared with those at December 31, 2017. At September 30, 2018, we did not have any material purchase obligations. For a discussion of our other future obligations, due by period, under the various contractual obligations, off-balance sheet arrangements and commitments, please see “Liquidity and Capital Resources — Commitments and Contingencies” in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017, filed with the SEC on February 21, 2018.

At September 30, 2018, we did not have any material reserves for contingencies. We have other contingencies occurring in the normal course of business, including pending legal and administrative proceedings that are not reflected at this time as they are not ascertainable.

Our sources of cash to meet these obligations include:

cash generated from our operations (see “Operating Activities” in “Liquidity and Capital Resources”);
issuance of shares or debt securities (see “Financing Activities” in “Liquidity and Capital Resources”);
refinancing of our current credit facilities at or before maturity (see “Financing Activities” in “Liquidity and Capital Resources”);
undrawn balances on credit facilities (see “Financing Activities” in “Liquidity and Capital Resources”); and
if advantageous, sale of all or part of any of our businesses (see “Investing Activities” in “Liquidity and Capital Resources”).

As described above under “ Recent Developments ”, on July 27, 2018, our intermediate holding company within the Contracted Power segment entered into an agreement to sell 100% of BEC. On October 12, 2018, we concluded the sale of BEC and received cash of $657.4 million, net of the assumption of the outstanding debt balance of $243.5 million by the buyer and subject to post-closing working capital adjustments. Any such adjustments are not expected to be significant. The buyer and seller have agreed to indemnify each other for breaches of representations, warranties and covenants in the purchase agreement, subject to certain exceptions and limitations. We have guaranteed our subsidiary’s payment and certain post-closing indemnity obligations under the purchase agreement.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

For quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk, see Part II, Item 7A “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017. Our exposure to market risk has not changed materially since February 21, 2018, the filing date for our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Interim Goodwill Review

We test for goodwill impairment at the reporting unit level on an annual basis on October 1 st of each year and between annual tests if a triggering event indicates impairment. We continuously monitor events which could trigger an interim impairment analysis, such as changing business conditions and industry and other economic factors. During the year, we experienced a sustained decline in market capitalization since February 2018, and during the third quarter of 2018, we concluded a sustained decline in our market capitalization had occurred, leading to the determination that a triggering event had occurred for all of our reporting units.

We performed an interim impairment analysis using financial information through September 30, 2018 and forecasts for cash flows developed using our strategic plan. The impairment analysis was performed using both the market and income approaches and weighting them based on their application to the reporting units. The interim impairment review was performed across all of our reporting units. As a result of this evaluation, the fair value of each of our reporting units exceeded the carrying value and no impairment was recorded.

At September 30, 2018, the fair value exceeded book value by $2.2 billion, or approximately 36.0%, primarily from Atlantic Aviation, by approximately $2.0 billion, and Hawaii Gas, by approximately $250.0 million. IMTT’s fair value at September 30, 2018 exceeded the book value by approximately $20.0 million. The fair value of IMTT was impacted by the recent decline in short-term earnings related to the non-renewal of certain contracts for heavy and residual oil. The non-renewal of these contracts, or the renewal at lower rates, is partially attributable to changes in trade flows.

Unfavorable fluctuations in the discount rate or declines in forecasted storage revenues and margins could result in an impairment on IMTT. A 0.25% increase to the discount rate would change the valuation of IMTT by approximately $80.0 million. Any increase in discount rate, in conjunction with any decrease to the long-term projections in cash flows for IMTT will negatively affect the current valuations. Due to the inherent uncertainties involved in making the estimates and assumptions used in the fair value analysis, actual results may differ, which could alter the fair value of the reporting units, and possibly result in impairment charges in future periods. We will continue to evaluate the fair value of goodwill through the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2018 for any potential impairment.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

1. Organization and Description of Business

Macquarie Infrastructure Corporation (MIC) is a Delaware corporation formed on May 21, 2015. MIC’s predecessor, Macquarie Infrastructure Company LLC, was formed on April 13, 2004. Macquarie Infrastructure Corporation, both on an individual entity basis and together with its consolidated subsidiaries, is referred to in these financial statements as the “Company” or “MIC”.

MIC is externally managed by Macquarie Infrastructure Management (USA) Inc. (the Manager), pursuant to the terms of a Management Services Agreement, that is subject to the oversight and supervision of the board of directors. The majority of the members of the Board of Directors, and each member of all Board Committees, is independent and has no affiliation with Macquarie. The Manager is a member of the Macquarie Group of companies comprising the Macquarie Group Limited and its subsidiaries and affiliates worldwide. Macquarie Group Limited is headquartered in Australia and is listed on the Australian Securities Exchange.

The Company owns its businesses through its direct wholly-owned subsidiary MIC Ohana Corporation, the successor to Macquarie Infrastructure Company Inc. The Company owns and operates a diversified portfolio of businesses that provide services to other businesses, government agencies and individuals primarily in the U.S. The businesses it owns and operates are organized into four segments:

International-Matex Tank Terminals (IMTT):   a business providing bulk liquid terminalling to third parties at 17 terminals in the U.S. and two in Canada;
Atlantic Aviation:   a provider of fuel, terminal, aircraft hangaring and other services primarily to owners and operators of general aviation (GA) jet aircraft at 70 airports throughout the U.S.;
Contracted Power:   comprising controlling interests in wind and solar facilities in the U.S.; and
MIC Hawaii:   comprising an energy company that processes and distributes gas and provides related services (Hawaii Gas) and several smaller businesses collectively engaged in efforts to reduce the cost and improve the reliability and sustainability of energy in Hawaii.

Through October 12, 2018, the Company’s Contracted Power business also included a gas-fired facility. See Note 2, “Basis of Presentation”, for further information.

2. Basis of Presentation

The unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X for interim financial information. Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.

The consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2017 has been derived from audited financial statements but does not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Certain reclassifications were made to the financial statements for the prior period to conform to current period presentation.

The interim financial information contained herein should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2017 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the SEC on February 21, 2018. Operating results for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2018 or for any future interim periods.

2. Basis of Presentation  – (continued)

Use of Estimates

The preparation of unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures related thereto at the date of the unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Management evaluates these estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis.

Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the unaudited interim consolidated condensed financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from estimates.

Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and variable-rate senior debt, are carried at cost, which approximates their fair value because of either the short-term maturity, or competitive interest rates assigned to these financial instruments.

Assets and Liabilities Held for Sale — Bayonne Energy Center (BEC)

During the quarter ended March 31, 2018, the Company announced that it was exploring the potential sale of a portion or all of Bayonne Energy Center (BEC), a business within the Contracted Power segment. On July 27, 2018, the Company entered into an agreement to sell 100% of BEC to NHIP II Bayonne Holdings LLC.

At September 30, 2018, the Company classified $971.9 million as assets held for sale, of which approximately $845.0 million related to property, equipment, land and leasehold improvements, approximately $50.0 million related to intangible assets and approximately $20.0 million in goodwill, and $299.7 million as liabilities held for sale, of which $243.5 million related to total debt, on the consolidated condensed balance sheet. The sale of BEC will not qualify for discontinued operation presentation under ASC 205-20, Presentation of Financial Statements — Discontinued Operations.

On October 12, 2018, the Company concluded the sale of BEC and received cash of $657.4 million, net of the assumption of the outstanding debt balance of $243.5 million by the buyer and subject to post-closing working capital adjustments resulting in a preliminary pre-tax gain of approximately $5.0 million. Any such adjustments could result in an adjustment to the expected gain. Any adjustment is not expected to be significant. The Company incurred approximately $10.0 million in professional fees in relation to this transaction of which approximately $3.0 million has been recorded through September 30, 2018. The Company has guaranteed its subsidiary’s payment and certain post-closing indemnity obligations under the purchase agreement.

Investment Write-Down — Critchfield Pacific, Inc. (CPI)

The Company continues to review its strategic options available, including with respect to certain other, smaller businesses in its portfolio. Consistent with this, and in light of the ongoing underperformance of the design-build mechanical contractor, Critchfield Pacific, Inc. (CPI) within the MIC Hawaii segment, the Company wrote-down its investment in the business in the third quarter of 2018. In total, the Company wrote-down approximately $30.0 million, which includes fixed assets and intangible assets of approximately $9.0 million, as well as reserving for certain contract related amounts recorded in other current liabilities and other expenses. Following the quarter end, the Company commenced a sale process for CPI and have reached an agreement to sell the business for a nominal sum in a transaction that is expected to close before the end of the year.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-14, Compensation — Retirement Benefits — Defined Benefit Plans — General (Subtopic 715-20): Disclosure Framework — Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans . The amendments in ASU 2018-14 update disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. The Company will include appropriate disclosures related to defined benefit plans in accordance with the standard when it adopts the provisions of this ASU.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework — Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement . The amendments in ASU 2018-13 update the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements, including the consideration of costs and benefits. The disclosure modifications focused on Level 3 fair value measurements, and also eliminate the at a minimum disclosure requirements. The amendments in this update are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The amendments on changes in unrealized gains and losses, the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements, and the narrative description of measurement uncertainty should be applied prospectively for only the most recent interim or annual period presented in the initial fiscal year of adoption. All other amendments should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented upon their effective date. Early adoption is permitted upon issuance of this Update. An entity is permitted to early adopt any removed or modified disclosures upon issuance of this Update and delay adoption of the additional disclosures until their effective date. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this ASU.

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-02, Income Statement — Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (AOCI) . The amendments in ASU 2018-02 allow entities to reclassify from AOCI to retained earnings “stranded” tax effects resulting from passage of the Act. An entity that elects to reclassify these amounts must reclassify stranded tax effects related to the change in federal tax rate for all items accounted for in other comprehensive income (i.e. employee benefits, cumulative translation adjustments). Entities may also elect to reclassify other stranded tax effects that relate to the Act but do not directly relate to the change in the federal tax rate (i.e. state taxes). However, because the amendments only relate to the reclassification of the income tax effects of the Act, the underlying guidance requiring the effect of a change in tax laws or rates to be included in income from operations is not affected. Upon adoption of ASU 2018-02, entities are required to disclose their policy for releasing the income tax effects from AOCI. ASU 2018-02 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments in 2018-02 may be applied retrospectively to each period in which the effect of the Act is recognized or an entity may elect to apply the amendments in the period of adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this ASU.

On January 26, 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles — Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment , which simplifies the measurement of goodwill subsequent to a business combination, and no longer requires an entity to perform a hypothetical purchase price allocation when computing implied fair value to measure goodwill impairment. Instead, impairment will be assessed by quantifying the difference between the fair value of a reporting unit and its carrying amount. An impairment charge would be recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value, on condition that the charge doesn’t exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The guidance in the ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019 for public issuers and shall be applied prospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted this ASU on January 1, 2018.

2. Basis of Presentation  – (continued)

On January 5, 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business , which provides a restrictive framework for determining whether business transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. Determining whether a company acquires a set of assets or a business will impact the initial measurement, the accounting treatment of direct acquisition related costs, contingent considerations and the bargain purchase price. The guidance in the ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017 for public issuers and shall be applied prospectively. The Company adopted this ASU on January 1, 2018 and will apply this ASU prospectively for asset acquisitions and business combinations.

On November 17, 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash , which requires companies to show the changes in the total of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. This reconciliation can be presented either on the face of the statement of cash flows or in the notes to the financial statements. The guidance will be applied retrospectively and is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those years. The Company adopted this ASU on January 1, 2018 and included the retrospective application of this ASU in the accompanying consolidated condensed statement of cash flows.

On February 25, 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) , which requires a lessee to recognize assets and liabilities for leases with lease terms of more than 12 months. The recognition, measurement and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee primarily will depend on its classification as a finance or operating lease. However, unlike current GAAP, which requires only capital leases to be recognized on the balance sheet, ASU 2016-02 will require all leases with an initial term greater than one year to be recognized on the balance sheet as a right-of-use asset and a lease liability. The Company also serves as a lessor primarily through operating leases. The accounting for lessors is not expected to fundamentally change except for changes to conform and align existing guidance to the lessee guidance under ASU 2016-02, as well as to the new revenue recognition guidance in ASU 2014-09. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is allowed. The standard is to be applied using a modified retrospective approach, which includes a number of optional practical expedients. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842) Targeted Improvements , which allows lessees and lessors to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the period of adoption without modifying the comparative period financial statements.

The Company is in the process of completing its assessment of the overall impact and is currently planning for the adoption and implementation of ASU 2016-02. ASU 2016-02 will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets; however, the Company does not expect a material impact on its consolidated statements of operations. Further, the Company does not expect the standard to have a material impact on the accounting and reporting requirements for existing operating leases where the Company is the lessor as it expects to elect the practical expedient whereby the Company will not separate a qualifying contract into its lease and non-lease components. While the Company is continuing to assess potential impacts of the standard, it currently expects the most significant impact will be the recognition of ROU assets and lease liabilities for operating leases with original terms of over one year where the Company is the lessee. The Company will adopt ASU 2016-02 as of January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective method as of the period of adoption rather than the earliest period presented. The Company is currently in the process of executing its implementation plan by installing a lease accounting technology system, gathering lease contracts and abstracting key financial data, and finalizing design of revisions needed to its processes and internal controls. The Company is also continuing to evaluate accounting policy options under the standard, including the use of the optional practical expedients, and evaluating the impact of implementing this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

3. Implementation of ASU 2014-09

The Company recognizes revenue when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled for those goods or services. The Company has revenue that is derived from long-term contracts and leases that can span several years. The Company accounts for revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue , or ASC Topic 840, Leases , depending upon the terms of the agreements. See Note 11, “ Long-Term Contracted Revenue ”, for further discussions and disclosures.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) . This guidance sets forth a five-step revenue recognition model that replaces the prior revenue recognition guidance in its entirety. It is intended to eliminate numerous industry-specific pieces of revenue recognition guidance and requires more detailed disclosures. This ASU includes identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation. To further assist with adoption and implementation of ASU 2014-09, the FASB issued and the Company considered the following ASUs:

ASU 2015-14 (Issued August 2015) —  Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date ;
ASU 2016-08 (Issued March 2016) —  Principal versus Agent Consideration (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net) ;
ASU 2016-10 (Issued April 2016) —  Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing ;
ASU 2016-12 (Issued May 2016) —  Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients ; and
ASU 2016-20 (Issued December 2016) —  Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers .

The Company adopted ASU 2014-09 during the first quarter of 2018 using the modified retrospective method. There was no adjustment to the beginning balance of retained earnings and the adoption of this ASU did not have a significant impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements other than the additional required qualitative and quantitative disclosures. As part of the adoption, the Company has not elected to apply any practical expedients available under ASC Topic 606.

IMTT

Revenue from IMTT is generated from the following sources and recorded in service revenue.

Lease .  These are contracts with predominantly non-cancelable terms for access to and the use of storage capacity at the various terminals owned and operated by the business. At September 30, 2018, these contracts had a revenue weighted average remaining contract life of 2.0 years. These contracts generally require payments in exchange for the provision of storage capacity and product movement (thruput) throughout their term based on a fixed rate per barrel of capacity leased. A majority of the contracts include terms that adjust the fixed rate annually for inflation. These contracts are accounted for as operating leases and the related lease income is recognized in service revenue over the term of the contract based upon the rate specified. Revenue is recognized in accordance with ASC 840, Leases.

Other terminal services .  Revenue from the provision of ancillary services includes activities such as heating, mixing, and blending, and is recognized as the related services are performed based on contract rates. Revenue from other terminal services is recognized at a point in time as services are performed. Other terminal services also include payments received prior to the related services being performed or as a reimbursement for specific fixed asset additions or improvements related to a customer’s contract and are recorded as deferred revenue and ratably recognized as revenues over the contract term.

Other .  Other revenue is comprised primarily of environmental response service activities through the date of sale and railroad operations. These revenues are generally recognized at a point in time as services are performed.

Atlantic Aviation

Revenue from Atlantic Aviation is recorded in service revenue. Services provided by Atlantic Aviation include:

Fuel .  Fuel services are recognized when fuel has been delivered to the customer, collection of the resulting receivable is probable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists and the fee is fixed or determinable. Fuel services are recorded net of volume discounts and rebates. Revenue from fuel sales are recognized at a point in time as services are performed.

Hangar .  Hangar rentals includes both month-to-month rentals and rentals from longer term contracts. Hangar rental revenue excludes transient customer overnight hangar usage (see Other FBO services below).

Other FBO services .  Other FBO services consisting principally of de-icing services, landing, concession, transient overnight hangar usage, terminal use and fuel distribution fees that are recognized as sales of services. Revenue from these transactions is recorded based on the service fee earned and does not include the cost of fuel.

Contracted Power

BEC revenue is derived from contracts that are accounted for as operating leases that do not have minimum lease payments. This revenue is recorded within product revenue as electricity is delivered.

With respect to BEC’s contracted capacity, revenue is recognized as energy, capacity and ancillary services are sold to the off-taker under the third-party tolling agreements. The agreements are based on a fixed rate per megawatt (MW) of capacity and not subject to dispatch or utilization. A portion of the revenues under the tolling agreements are subject to annual price increases. Revenue under the tolling agreements is subject to availability of capacity (subject to a historical rolling average forced outage factor). Variable operating and major maintenance revenue under the tolling agreements is a function of net plant output and a negotiated rate, which is adjusted annually based on historical plant experience.

With respect to BEC’s residual capacity, revenue is recognized as energy, capacity and ancillary services are sold into the New York Independent System Operator (NYISO) energy market. Revenue for such services is based on prevailing market rates at the time such services are sold. Volumes of energy and ancillary services sold are subject to BEC’s market based dispatch from NYISO.

Owners of the wind and solar facilities sell substantially all of the electricity generated at a fixed price to primarily electric utility customers pursuant to long-term (typically 20 – 25 years) power purchase agreements (PPAs). Substantially all of the PPAs are accounted for as operating leases and have no minimum lease payments and all of the lease income under these leases is recorded within product revenue when the electricity is delivered.

MIC Hawaii

Revenue from Hawaii Gas is recorded in product revenue. Hawaii Gas recognizes revenue when products are delivered. Sales of gas to customers are billed on a monthly-cycle basis. Earned but unbilled revenue is accrued and included in accounts receivable and revenue based on the amount of gas that has been delivered but not billed to customers from the latest meter reading or billed delivery date to the end of an accounting period. The related costs are charged to expense.

The other businesses within MIC Hawaii consist of primarily a design-build mechanical contractor focused on designing and constructing energy efficient building infrastructure and controlling interests in renewable and distributed power facilities including two facilities on Oahu. Revenue generated by the design-build mechanical contractor business is recognized from long-term construction contracts (commonly referred to as the percentage-of-completion method) and is recorded in service revenue. PPAs at the renewable facilities are accounted for as operating leases and the related lease income is recorded in product revenues when the electricity is delivered.

Balance at September 30, 2018   $ 2,043,800  

(1) Goodwill classified as held for sale related to BEC. See Note 2, “Basis of Presentation” for further discussion.

The Company tests for goodwill impairment at the reporting unit level on an annual basis on October 1 st of each year and between annual tests if a triggering event indicates impairment. The Company continuously monitors events which could trigger an interim impairment analysis, such as changing business conditions and industry and other economic factors. The Company experienced a sustained decline in market capitalization since February 2018, and during the third quarter of 2018, the Company concluded a sustained decline in its market capitalization had occurred, leading to the determination that a triggering event had occurred for all reporting units.

The Company performed an interim impairment analysis using financial information through September 30, 2018 and forecasts for cash flows developed using the Company's strategic plan. The impairment analysis was performed using both the market and income approaches and weighting them based on their application to the reporting units. The interim impairment review was performed across all reporting units. As a result of this evaluation, the fair value of each of the Company’s reporting units exceeded the carrying value and no impairment was recorded.

At September 30, 2018, the fair value exceeded book value by $2.2 billion, or approximately 36.0%, primarily from Atlantic Aviation, by approximately $2.0 billion, and Hawaii Gas, by approximately $250.0 million. IMTT’s fair value at September 30, 2018 exceeded the book value by approximately $20.0 million.

6. Intangible Assets and Goodwill  – (continued)

The fair value of IMTT was impacted by the recent decline in short-term earnings related to the non-renewal of certain contracts for heavy and residual oil. The non-renewal of these contracts, or the renewal at lower rates, is partially attributable to changes in trade flows.

Unfavorable fluctuations in the discount rate or declines in forecasted storage revenues and margins could result in an impairment on IMTT. A 0.25% increase to the discount rate would change the valuation of IMTT by approximately $80.0 million. Any increase in discount rate, in conjunction with any decrease to the long-term projections in cash flows for IMTT will negatively affect the current valuations. Due to the inherent uncertainties involved in making the estimates and assumptions used in the fair value analysis, actual results may differ, which could alter the fair value of the reporting units, and possibly result in impairment charges in future periods. The Company will continue to evaluate the fair value of goodwill through the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2018 for any potential impairment.

7. Long-Term Debt

At September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company’s consolidated long-term debt balance comprised of the following ($ in thousands):

7. Long-Term Debt  – (continued)

During the quarters ended March 31, 2018 and June 30, 2018, Hawaii Gas was not in compliance with certain credit agreement provisions.

At September 30, 2018, Hawaii Gas was again in compliance with its credit agreement having received waivers from its lenders.

8. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

Interest Rate Contracts

The Company and certain of its businesses have in place variable-rate debt. Management believes that it is prudent to limit the variability of a portion of the business’ interest payments. To meet this objective, the Company enters into interest rate agreements, primarily using interest rate swaps and from time to time using interest rate caps, to manage fluctuations in cash flows resulting from interest rate risk on a portion of its debt with a variable-rate component. Interest rate swaps change the variable-rate cash flow exposure on the debt obligations to fixed cash flows. Under the terms of the interest rate swaps, the Company receives variable interest rate payments and makes fixed interest rate payments, thereby creating the equivalent of fixed-rate debt for the portion of the debt that is swapped.

At September 30, 2018, the Company had $3.4 billion of current and long-term debt, of which $1.1 billion was economically hedged with interest rate contracts, $1.6 billion was fixed rate debt and $758.7 million was unhedged. The Company does not use hedge accounting. All movements in the fair value of the interest rate derivatives are recorded directly through earnings.

Commodity Price Hedges

The risks associated with fluctuations in the prices that Hawaii Gas, a business within the MIC Hawaii reportable segment, pays for propane is principally a result of market forces reflecting changes in supply and demand for propane and other energy commodities. Hawaii Gas’ gross margin (revenue less cost of product sales excluding depreciation and amortization) is sensitive to changes in propane supply costs and Hawaii Gas may not always be able to pass through product cost increases fully or on a timely basis, particularly when product costs rise rapidly. In order to reduce the volatility of the business’ propane market price risk, Hawaii Gas has used and expects to continue to use over-the-counter commodity derivative instruments including price swaps. Hawaii Gas does not use commodity derivative instruments for speculative or trading purposes. Over-the-counter derivative commodity instruments used by Hawaii Gas to hedge forecasted purchases of propane are generally settled at expiration of the contract.

Financial Statement Location Disclosure for Derivative Instruments

The Company measures derivative instruments at fair value using the income approach which discounts the future net cash settlements expected under the derivative contracts to a present value. These valuations use primarily observable (level 2) inputs, including contractual terms, interest rates and yield curves observable at commonly quoted intervals.

10. Reportable Segments

At September 30, 2018, the Company’s businesses consisted of four reportable segments: IMTT, Atlantic Aviation, Contracted Power and MIC Hawaii.

IMTT

IMTT provides bulk liquid storage, handling and other services in North America through seventeen terminals located in the United States, one terminal in Quebec, Canada and one partially owned terminal in Newfoundland, Canada. IMTT derives the majority of its revenue from storage and handling of petroleum products, various chemicals, renewable fuels, and vegetable and tropical oils. Based on storage capacity, IMTT operates one of the largest third-party bulk liquid terminals businesses in the United States. Revenue from IMTT is included in service revenue.

Atlantic Aviation

Atlantic Aviation derives the majority of its revenue from fuel delivery services and from other airport services, including de-icing and aircraft hangar rental. All of the revenue of Atlantic Aviation is generated at airports in the U.S. The business currently operates at 70 airports. Revenue from Atlantic Aviation is included in service revenue.

Contracted Power

At September 30, 2018, the Contracted Power business segment has controlling interests in seven utility-scale solar photovoltaic facilities, two wind facilities and 100% ownership of a gas-fired facility that are in operations in the United States. The wind and solar facilities that are operational at September 30, 2018 have an aggregate generating capacity of 345 megawatt (MW) of wholesale electricity to utilities. Revenue from the wind, solar and gas-fired power facilities are included in product revenue.

These projects are held in LLCs, and are treated as partnerships for income tax purposes, with co-investors. The acquisition price on these projects can vary depending on, among other things, factors such as the size of the project, PPA terms, eligibility for tax incentives, debt package, operating cost structure and development stage. A completed project takes out all of the construction risk, testing and costs associated with construction contracts.

The Company has certain rights to make decisions over the management and operations of these wind and solar facilities. The Company has determined that it is appropriate to consolidate these projects, with the co-investors’ interest reflected as Noncontrolling interests in the consolidated condensed financial statements.

Through October 12, 2018, the Company owned 100% of BEC, a 644 MW gas-fired facility located in Bayonne, New Jersey, adjacent to IMTT’s Bayonne facility. Power produced by BEC was delivered to New York City via a dedicated transmission cable under New York Harbor. BEC had tolling agreements with a creditworthy off-taker for approximately 50% of its power generating capacity. The tolling agreements generated revenue whether or not the facility was in use for power production. In addition to revenue from the tolling agreements and capacity payments from the grid operator, BEC generated an energy margin when the facility was dispatched. Revenue produced by BEC was accounted for as an operating lease that did not have minimum lease payments. All of the lease income under the lease were recorded within product revenue when natural gas transportation services were performed.

At September 30, 2018, the assets and liabilities of BEC were classified as held for sale on the consolidated condensed balance sheet. On October 12, 2018, the Company concluded the sale of BEC and received cash of $657.4 million, net of the assumption of the outstanding debt balance of $243.5 million by the buyer and subject to post-closing working capital adjustments. See Note 2, “Basis of Presentation”, for further discussions.

MIC Hawaii

MIC Hawaii comprises: Hawaii Gas, Hawaii’s only government-franchised gas utility and an unregulated liquefied petroleum gas distribution business providing gas and related services to commercial, residential and governmental customers; a design-build mechanical contractor focused on designing and constructing energy efficient and related building infrastructure; and controlling interests in two solar facilities on Oahu. Revenue from Hawaii Gas and the solar facilities are recorded in product revenue (see above in Contracted Power for further discussion on revenue from PPAs). Revenue from the design-build mechanical contractor business is recorded in service revenue.

Revenue from the Hawaii Gas business is generated from the distribution and sales of synthetic natural gas (SNG), liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and liquefied natural gas (LNG). Revenue is primarily a function of the volume of SNG, LPG and LNG consumed by customers and the price per British Thermal Unit or gallon charged to customers. Revenue levels, without organic growth, will generally track global commodity prices, namely petroleum and natural gas, as its products are derived from these commodities.

All of the MIC business segments are managed separately and management has chosen to organize the Company around the distinct products and services offered. Selected information by segment is presented in the following tables.

11. Long-Term Contracted Revenue

Long-term contracted revenue consists of revenue from future minimum lease revenue accounted in accordance with ASC 840, Leases , and estimated revenue to be recognized in the future related to performance conditions that are unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied accounted in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue . The recognition pattern for contracts that are considered leases is generally consistent with the recognition pattern that would apply if such contracts were not accounted for as leases and were instead accounted for under ASC Topic 606. Accordingly, the Company has combined the required lessor disclosures for future lease income with the disclosures for contracted revenue in the table below. The following long-term contracted revenue were in existence at September 30, 2018 ($ in thousands):

The above table does not include the future minimum lease revenue from the Company’s Contracted Power and the renewable businesses within the MIC Hawaii reportable segments. The payments from these leases are considered variable as they are based on the output of the underlying assets (i.e. energy generated).

Other Services

The Company uses the resources of the Macquarie Group with respect to a range of advisory, procurement, insurance, hedging, lending and other services. Engagements involving members of the Macquarie Group are reviewed and approved by the Audit Committee of the Company’s board of directors. Macquarie Group affiliates are engaged on an arm’s length basis and frequently as a member of a syndicate of providers whose other members establish the terms of the interaction.

Advisory Services

The Macquarie Group, and wholly-owned subsidiaries within the Macquarie Group, including Macquarie Bank Limited (MBL) and Macquarie Capital (USA) Inc. (MCUSA) have provided various advisory and other services and incurred expenses in connection with the Company’s equity raising activities, acquisitions and debt structuring for the Company and its businesses. Underwriting fees are recorded in stockholders’ equity as a direct cost of equity offerings. Advisory fees and out-of-pocket expenses relating to acquisitions are expensed as incurred. Debt arranging fees are deferred and amortized over the term of the credit facility.

In June 2015, the Company entered into an equity distribution agreement with sales agents, including MCUSA, providing for the sale of shares of its common stock, par value $0.001 per share, from time to time having an aggregate gross offering price of up to $400.0 million.

provides for sales of shares to any sales agent as principal for its own account at a price agreed upon at the time of the sale. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company did not engage MCUSA for such activities.

Long-Term Debt

In January 2018, the Company completed the refinancing and upsizing of its senior secured revolving credit facility to $600.0 million from $410.0 million and extended the maturity through January 3, 2022. As part of the refinancing and upsizing, MIHI LLC’s $50.0 million commitment was replaced by a $40.0 million commitment from Macquarie Capital Funding LLC. As part of the closing, the Company paid Macquarie Capital Funding LLC $80,000 in closing fees.

Prior to the refinancing in January 2018, the Company incurred $4,000 in interest expense related to MIHI LLC’s portion of the MIC senior secured revolving credit facility. For the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company incurred $47,000 and $116,000, respectively, in interest expense related to MIHI LLC’s portion of the MIC senior secured revolving credit facility. Subsequent to the refinancing in January 2018, the Company incurred $139,000 and $376,000, respectively, in interest expense related to Macquarie Capital Funding LLC’s portion of the MIC senior secured revolving credit facility for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2018.

Other Transactions

In May 2018, the Company sold its equity interest in projects involving two properties to Macquarie Infrastructure and Real Assets, Inc. (MIRA Inc.), an affiliate of the Manager, for their cost of approximately $27.1 million. The Company retained the right to 20% of any gain on a subsequent sale by MIRA Inc. to a third party of a more than 50% interest in either or both of the projects.

Macquarie Energy North America Trading, Inc. (MENAT), an indirect subsidiary of Macquarie Group Limited, entered into contracts with IMTT to lease capacity. At March 31, 2017, MENAT leased 200,000 barrels of capacity from IMTT. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, IMTT recognized $907,000 in revenues from MENAT. The contracts expired during the quarter ended June 30, 2017.

13. Income Taxes

The Company expects to incur federal consolidated taxable income for the year ending December 31, 2018, which will be fully offset by the Company’s net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards. The Company believes that it will be able to utilize all of its federal prior year NOLs, which will begin to expire after 2029 and completely expire after 2035.

On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act was signed into law and includes provisions that may have an impact on the Company’s federal taxable income. The most significant of these are 100% bonus depreciation on qualifying assets (which is scheduled to phase down ratably to 0% between 2023 and 2027) and a reduction in the federal corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%.

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act also includes a new limitation on the deductibility of net interest expense that generally limits the deduction to 30% of “adjusted taxable income”. For years before 2022, adjusted taxable income is defined as taxable income computed without regard to certain items, including net business interest expense, the amount of any NOL deduction, tax depreciation and tax amortization. The Company does not expect to incur net interest expense that is greater than 30% of adjusted taxable income prior to 2022.

In the third quarter of 2018, the Company completed its data gathering and analysis based on the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and guidance issued to date in 2018 as it relates to the remeasurement of existing deferred tax balances. The Company has not identified any material change to the net one-time charge for the year ended December 31, 2017 related to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.

14. Legal Proceedings and Contingencies

The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. In management’s opinion, the Company has adequate legal defenses and/or insurance coverage with respect to the eventuality of such actions, and does not believe the outcome of any pending legal proceedings will be material to the Company’s financial position or result of operations.

Shareholder Litigation

On April 23, 2018, a complaint captioned City of Riviera Beach General Employees Retirement System v. Macquarie Infrastructure Corp., et al. , Case 1:18-cv-03608 (VSB), was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. A substantially identical complaint captioned Daniel Fajardo v. Macquarie Infrastructure Corporation, et al. , Case No. 1:18-cv-03744 (VSB) was filed in the same court on April 27, 2018. Both complaints assert claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder on behalf of a putative class consisting of all purchasers of MIC common stock between February 22, 2016 and February 21, 2018. The named defendants in both cases are the Company and four current or former officers of MIC and one of its subsidiaries, IMTT Holdings LLC. The complaints in both actions, which are expected to be consolidated, allege that the Company and the individual defendants knowingly made material misstatements and omitted material facts in its public disclosures concerning the Company’s and IMTT’s business and the sustainability of the Company’s dividend to stockholders. The Company intends to vigorously contest the claims asserted in the City of Riviera Beach and Fajardo complaints, which the Company believes are entirely meritless.

On August 9, 2018, a shareholder derivative complaint captioned Phyllis Wright v. Liam Stewart, et al. , Case No. 1:18-cv-07174 (VSB), was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. A substantially identical complaint captioned Raymond Greenlee v. James Hooke, et al. , Case No. 1:18-cv-09339 (VSB) was filed in the same court on October 12, 2018. Both complaints assert derivative claims on behalf of the Company against certain of its current and former officers and directors arising out of the same subject matter at issue in the City of Riviera Beach and Fajardo complaints discussed above. The causes of action asserted include violation of Section 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, breach of fiduciary duties, waste of corporate assets, unjust enrichment, and aiding and abetting breach of fiduciary duty. The plaintiffs in the Wright case have agreed to stay the matter pending resolution of an anticipated motion to dismiss the securities class actions described above. The Company expects that the named defendants will vigorously contest the claims asserted in the Wright and Greenlee complaints.

15. Subsequent Events

Dividend

On October 30, 2018, the board of directors declared a dividend of $1.00 per share for the quarter ended September 30, 2018, which is expected to be paid on November 15, 2018 to holders of record on November 12, 2018.

Manager Waiver of Base Management Fees

Effective November 1, 2018, the Manager has elected to waive two portions of the base management fee to which it is entitled under the terms of the Managements Services Agreement between the Company. In effect, this waiver caps the base management fee at 1% of the Company’s equity market capitalization and eliminates fees on any debt it have or may incur at the holding company. Although MIMUSA reserves the right to revoke the fee waiver and revert to the prior terms of the agreement subject to providing the Company with not less than a one year notice, MIC believes MIMUSA has no current intent to do so. A revocation of the waiver would not trigger a recapture of previously waived fees. The waivers result in a reduction in the fees paid to the Manager of approximately $10.0 million per year based on the Company’s market value and capital structure at the end of the third quarter.

A substantially identical complaint captioned Raymond Greenlee v. James Hooke, et al. , Case No. 1:18-cv-09339 (VSB) was filed in the same court on October 12, 2018. Both complaints assert derivative claims on behalf of the Company against certain of its current and former officers and directors arising out of the same subject matter at issue in the City of Riviera Beach and Fajardo complaints discussed in Note 14, “Legal Proceedings and Contingencies”, in our Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in Part I of this Form 10-Q. The causes of action asserted include violation of Section 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, breach of fiduciary duties, waste of corporate assets, unjust enrichment, and aiding and abetting breach of fiduciary duty. The plaintiffs in the Wright case have agreed to stay the matter pending resolution of an anticipated motion to dismiss the securities class actions. The Company expects that the named defendants will vigorously contest the claims asserted in the Wright and Greenlee complaints.

In June 2018, BEC entered into an Administrative Consent Order (ACO) with the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) to address ammonia emissions levels that exceeded levels outlined in BEC’s air permit, as identified by tests carried out in February 2018. The ACO prescribes a fine of $119,000 plus $3,000 per month from July 2018 until the terms of the ACO are met. This is expected to be achieved no later than December 2018. BEC was notified that the ACO fine may be increased by $13,600 (one-time payment) to correct an administrative error by the Regulator. This will not impact the scope or timeline of the work to meet the terms of the ACO.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There have been no material changes to the risk factors set forth under Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017, filed with the SEC on February 21, 2018, except for the following:

We could be adversely impacted by actions of activist stockholders, and such activism could impact the value of our securities.

We value constructive input from our stockholders and the investment community. However, there is no assurance that the actions taken by our Board of Directors and management in seeking to maintain constructive engagement with our stockholders will be successful. Certain of our shareholders have expressed views with respect to the operation of our business, our business strategy, corporate governance considerations or other matters. Responding to actions by activist stockholders can be costly and time-consuming, disrupting our operations and diverting the attention of management and our employees. The perceived uncertainties as to our future direction due to activist actions could affect the market price of our securities, result in the loss of potential business opportunities and make it more difficult to attract and retain qualified personnel, board members and business partners.

Our property taxes could increase due to reassessment or property tax rate changes.

We are required to pay real property taxes in respect of our properties and such taxes may increase as our properties are reassessed by taxing authorities or as property tax rates change. An increase in the assessed value of our properties or our property tax rates may not be passed along to our customers and could adversely impact our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

We are currently subject to purported securities class action lawsuits and could become subject to other similar actions in the future, the unfavorable outcome of which could materially adversely impact our business or results of operations.

In April 2018, two purported securities class action lawsuits were filed against us and certain current and former officers of ours and one of our subsidiaries alleging violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 10b-5 thereunder. These lawsuits allege knowing material misstatements and omissions in our public disclosures concerning our business and the sustainability of our dividend to stockholders. While we intend to vigorously defend against these lawsuits, there is no assurance that we will be successful in the defense or that insurance will be available or adequate to fund any settlement or judgment or the litigation costs of the actions. In addition, we are obligated to indemnify and incur legal expenses on behalf of current and former officers under certain circumstances. These lawsuits, and any similar proceedings or claims that may be brought against us in the future, may divert management resources and cause us to incur substantial costs, and any unfavorable outcome could result in payment of damages and could damage our reputation, any or all of which could materially adversely impact our business and results of operations.

Changes to trade regulation, quotas, duties or tariffs, caused by the changing U.S. and geopolitical environments or otherwise, may increase our costs, result in fewer growth capital opportunities or projects, limit the amount of raw materials and products that we can import, decrease demand for certain of our services, or otherwise adversely impact our business.

The current U.S. administration has voiced strong concerns about imports from countries that it perceives as engaging in unfair trade practices, has increased tariffs on certain goods imported into the United States from those countries, including China and other countries from which we import components or raw materials, and has raised the possibility of imposing significant, additional tariff increases. The announcement of unilateral tariffs on imported products by the U.S has triggered retaliatory actions from certain foreign governments, including China, and may trigger retaliatory actions by other foreign governments, potentially resulting in a “trade war”. A “trade war” of this nature or other governmental action related to tariffs or international trade agreements or policies could increase our costs, reduce the demand or opportunity to deploy growth capital in our businesses at attractive rates of return, limit the amount of raw materials, components and other products that we can import, restrict our customers’ ability to deploy growth capital or transport products and therefore decrease demand for certain of our services, and/or adversely affect the U.S. economy or certain sectors thereof and, thus, adversely impact our businesses.

Our recent sale of BEC subjects us to various risks and uncertainties.

In October 2018, we concluded the sale, through a subsidiary, of BEC. Our subsidiary has agreed to indemnify the buyer, subject to the terms and limitations in the purchase and sale agreement, for breaches of representations, warranties and covenants in the purchase and sale agreement, and we will guarantee our subsidiary’s payment and certain post-closing indemnity obligations. In addition, following the sale, our businesses will be less diversified and our exposure to the risks inherent in our remaining businesses will increase.

53

 

 

(c)           by Buyer, by written notice to Seller, if Seller has breached any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation in this Agreement and (i) such breach has not been cured within 30 days following written notification thereof; provided, however, that if, at the end of such 30 day period, Seller is endeavoring in good faith, and proceeding diligently, to cure such breach, Seller shall have until the Business Day before the Outside Date in which to effect such cure and (ii) such breach would result in a failure of a condition to Buyer’s obligation to close pursuant to the terms of this Agreement;

(e)           by mutual written consent of Buyer and Seller.

 

Section 9.2            Effect of Termination .

 

(a)           If this Agreement is validly terminated pursuant to Section 9.1 , there will be no Liability on the part of Seller or Buyer (or any of their respective Representatives or Affiliates), except as provided in this Section 9.2 , and provided that Sections 1.2 , 6.2(b) , Section 6.7 , 6.9 , 6.10 , 9.2 , 9.3 , 10.4 and 10.5 and Article XI will survive any termination of this Agreement, and each Party shall continue to be liable for any breach of this Agreement by it occurring prior to such termination, subject to Section 9.2(b) .

 

54

 

 

(b)           In the event that this Agreement is validly terminated by Seller pursuant to Section 9.1(b) for a breach by Buyer of any representation, warranty or covenant under this Agreement, and all conditions to Closing set forth in Section 7.1 and Section 7.2 have been satisfied (or are reasonably capable of being satisfied), other than such conditions that are prevented from being satisfied by Buyer’s breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or other agreements contained herein (and such breach has not been waived by Seller), then, in lieu of all other claims and remedies that might otherwise be available with respect thereto, including elsewhere in this Agreement and notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Seller shall thereupon be entitled to receive as liquidated damages in connection with such termination an amount equal to the Reverse Termination Fee minus all amounts (if any) paid by or on behalf of Buyer to Seller prior to termination of this Agreement with respect to any Claim brought under or with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. If Buyer fails to promptly pay the Reverse Termination Fee in full when due (as determined pursuant to a final and binding court order) and, in order to obtain such payment, Seller commences a suit that results in a judgment against Buyer for the Reverse Termination Fee or any portion thereof, Buyer shall pay to Seller (i) Seller’s costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) in connection with such suit and (ii) interest on the amount of such Reverse Termination Fee or portion thereof through the date of payment at the rate of eight percent (8%) per annum, compounded quarterly. The Parties agree that the agreements contained in this Section 9.2(b) are an integral part of the transactions contemplated hereby and that the amount payable pursuant to this Section 9.2(b) is not a penalty, but rather is liquidated damages in lieu of all other damages in a reasonable amount that will compensate Seller for the efforts and resources expended and opportunities foregone while negotiating this Agreement and in reliance on this Agreement and on the expectation of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, and for losses and damages likely to be incurred or suffered as a result of termination in the circumstances described in this Section 9.2(b) , which amount would otherwise be impossible to calculate with precision, and that the payment contemplated by this Section 9.2(b) is a reasonable forecast of just compensation for such termination. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, where Seller is entitled to and elects as a remedy the payment under this Section 9.2(b) , the right to receive such payment pursuant to this Section 9.2(b) shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of Seller and its Affiliates against Buyer and/or any of its Representatives with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby; and provided that the foregoing shall not prohibit Seller from seeking specific performance under Section 9.3 in lieu of the payment contemplated by this Section 9.2(b) , and provided further that Seller may seek both remedies concurrently but shall not be entitled to both the Reverse Termination Fee and grant of specific performance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Reverse Termination Fee shall not be payable in the event of a termination by Seller under Section 9.2(d) if (and only if) such breach resulted from Buyer failing to conform to the standard(s) of conduct in Section 6.1 that is applicable to Buyer in connection with obtaining or making the Company Consents and the Buyer Approvals, but Buyer nevertheless used its good faith efforts to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and did not take actions intended by Buyer to cause the Closing not to occur.

 

(c)           Upon termination of this Agreement by either Party for any reason, each Party shall return or destroy, in accordance with the terms of the Non-Disclosure Agreement, all documents and other materials of any other Party relating to the Acquired Companies, the Purchased Equity Interests, the Assets of an Acquired Company, or this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including any information relating to the Parties to this Agreement, whether obtained before or after the execution of this Agreement and all information received by Buyer with respect to the Acquired Companies, the Assets of the Acquired Companies or Seller shall remain subject to the Non-Disclosure Agreement.

 

Section 9.3            Specific Performance and Other Remedies . The Parties agree that immediate and irreparable damage for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that a Party does not perform its obligations under this Agreement (including failing to take such actions as are required of them hereunder to consummate the transactions contemplated in accordance with the terms hereof) or otherwise breaches the provisions hereof. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that (a) the other Party shall be entitled to an injunction, specific performance, or other equitable relief, as provided in this Section 9.3 , to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, prior to the valid termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 9.1 , and (b) the right of an injunction, specific enforcement or other equitable relief is an integral part of the transactions and without that right, the other Party would not have entered into this Agreement. Each Party agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief on the basis that the other Party has an adequate remedy at Law or that an award of an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at Law or equity. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that the other Party shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such proceeding. The rights to specific performance, injunction or other equitable relief provided in this Section 9.3 are in addition to any other remedy to which a Party is or may be entitled to under this Agreement, except (i) as otherwise provided herein and (ii) without limitation, as provided in Section 9.2(b) .

Section 10.6          Procedure with Respect to Third-Party Claims .

 

(a)           If any Indemnified Party becomes subject to a pending or threatened Claim of a third party and such Party (the “ Claiming Party ”) believes it has a Claim against the other Party (the “ Responding Party ”) pursuant to and subject to this Article X as a result, the Claiming Party shall promptly, but in no event later than 15 days after becoming subject to such pending or threatened third party Claim, (i) notify the Responding Party in writing, describing in reasonable detail (A) the basis for such third party Claim, (B) the nature of the third party Claim, (C) the Claiming Party’s best estimate of the amount of Losses attributable to the third party Claim and (D) the basis of the Claiming Party’s request for indemnification under this Agreement, and (ii) provide a copy of all papers served with respect to such third party Claim (if any). The failure of the Claiming Party to so notify the Responding Party shall not relieve the Responding Party of Liability hereunder except to the extent that the defense of such Claim is prejudiced by the failure to give such notice.

 

(b)           If any Claim is brought by a third party against a Claiming Party and the Claiming Party gives notice to the Responding Party pursuant to Section 10.6(a) , the Responding Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense of such Claim and, to the extent that it wishes, to assume the defense, if the Responding Party provides written notice to the Claiming Party within sixty (60) days of its receipt of the Claiming Party’s notice that the Responding Party intends to undertake such defense by counsel chosen by it and reasonably satisfactory to the Claiming Party. So long as the Claiming Party or its counsel does not impair or interfere with the defense of such Claim, the Claiming Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel (who may be selected by the Claiming Party in its sole discretion) in any such action and to participate in the defense thereof, and the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be paid by such Claiming Party. The Claiming Party and the Responding Party shall fully cooperate with each other and their respective counsel in the defense or compromise of such Claim. If the Responding Party assumes the defense of a Claim, no compromise or settlement of such Claims may be effected by the Responding Party without the Claiming Party’s consent (which is not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) unless the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by the Responding Party, and such compromise or settlement includes the granting by each claimant or plaintiff to each Claiming Party of an unconditional release from all liability in respect of such third party Claim. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 10.6(b) , the Responding Party’s defense of any Claim or proceeding shall not constitute an admission that such Responding Party has any indemnity obligations pursuant to this Article X .

 

(c)           If notice is given to the Responding Party of the commencement of any third-party Claim and the Responding Party does not, within sixty (60) days after the Claiming Party’s notice is given, give notice to the Claiming Party of its election to assume the defense of such Claim then the Claiming Party shall (upon notice to the Responding Party) have the right to undertake the defense of such Claim; provided, however, the Responding Party (x) shall reimburse the Claiming Party for the costs of defending against such third party Claim (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) and (y) shall remain otherwise responsible for any liability with respect to amounts arising from or related to such third party Claim, in each case, to the extent it is ultimately determined that such Responding Party is liable with respect to such third party Claim for a breach under this Agreement, but subject in all cases to the limits on Responding Party’s liability under Section 10.2 and otherwise in Article X . The Responding Party may elect to participate in such legal proceedings, negotiations or defense at any time at its own expense. The Claiming Party and the Responding Party shall fully cooperate with each other and their respective counsel in the defense or compromise of such Claim. No compromise or settlement of any such Claims may be effected by Buyer if it is the Claiming Party without Seller’s consent (which is not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

 

62

 

 

(d)           Section 10.6(a) through (c) apply only to indemnification relating to third-party Claims. A Party may assert an indemnity Claim not related to a third-party Claim by providing notice to the other Party within the applicable time periods set forth in Section 10.2(a) .

 

Section 10.7          Subrogation . Upon payment of a Loss by an Indemnifying Party to an Indemnified Party pursuant to this Article X , such Indemnifying Party, without any further action, shall be subrogated to any and all claims against any third party relating to such Loss. The Indemnified Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with such Indemnifying Party, at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, in order to enable such Indemnifying Party to pursue such claims.

 

Section 10.8          Adjustment to Purchase Price . The Parties agree that any indemnification payment shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for all purposed except as otherwise required pursuant to applicable Law.

Section 11.4          Disclosure . Seller may, at its option, include in the Disclosure Schedule items that are not material in order to avoid any misunderstanding, and any such inclusion, or any references to dollar amounts, shall not be deemed to be an acknowledgment or representation that such items are material, to establish any standard of materiality or to define further the meaning of such terms for purposes of this Agreement. Information disclosed in any section of the Disclosure Schedule shall constitute a disclosure for purposes of all other sections notwithstanding the lack of specific cross-reference thereto, but only to the extent the applicability of such disclosure to such other sections is reasonably apparent. In no event shall the inclusion of any matter in the Disclosure Schedule be deemed or interpreted to broaden Seller’s representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement. The mere inclusion of an item in the Disclosure Schedule shall not be deemed an admission by Seller that such item represents a material exception or fact, event, or circumstance or that such item is reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

 

Section 11.5          Waiver . Any term or condition of this Agreement may be waived at any time by the Party that is entitled to the benefit thereof, but no such waiver shall be effective unless set forth in a written instrument duly executed by or on behalf of the Party waiving such term or condition. No waiver by any Party of any term or condition of this Agreement, in any one or more instances, shall be deemed to be or construed as a waiver of the same or any other term or condition of this Agreement on any future occasion. All remedies, either under this Agreement or by Law or otherwise afforded, will be cumulative and not alternative.

 

Section 11.6          Amendment . This Agreement may be amended, supplemented or modified only by a written instrument duly executed by or on behalf of each Party.

 

Section 11.7          No Third Party Beneficiary .

Section 11.8          Assignment; Binding Effect . Neither this Agreement nor any right, interest or obligation hereunder may be assigned by any Party without the prior written consent of the other Party, and any attempt to do so will be void.

Section 11.10          Invalid Provisions . If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under any present or future Law, and if the rights or obligations of any Party under this Agreement will not be materially and adversely affected thereby, such provision will be fully severable, this Agreement will be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part hereof, the remaining provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect and will not be affected by the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision or by its severance herefrom and in lieu of such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision, there will be added automatically as a part of this Agreement a legal, valid and enforceable provision as similar in terms to such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible.

 

Section 11.11          Counterparts; Email . This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original, but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument.

Section 11.12          Privilege . Buyer agrees that, as to all communications among White & Case LLP, Seller or its Affiliates prior to the Closing that relate in any way to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, the attorney-client privilege belongs, to the extent such privilege exists, to Seller and its Affiliates and may be controlled by Seller and its Affiliates and will not, with respect to such privileged communications, pass to or be claimed by Buyer or its Affiliates. To the extent that Buyer or any of its Affiliates has or maintains any ownership of the privilege with respect to these communications, they agree, except as may be required by applicable Law, not to waive or to attempt to waive the privilege without the express written approval of Seller. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a dispute arises between Buyer and a third party (other than Seller and its Affiliates) or any Governmental Authority after the Closing, Seller may assert the attorney-client privilege against such third party to prevent the disclosure of confidential communications by or with White & Case LLP.

 

Section 11.13          Governing Law; Venue; and Jurisdiction .

DURING THE PERIOD A LEGAL DISPUTE THAT IS FILED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS SECTION 11.13 IS PENDING BEFORE A COURT, ALL ACTIONS, SUITS OR PROCEEDINGS WITH RESPECT TO SUCH LEGAL DISPUTE OR ANY OTHER LEGAL DISPUTE, INCLUDING ANY COUNTERCLAIM, CROSS-CLAIM OR INTERPLEADER, SHALL BE SUBJECT TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURT. EACH PARTY HEREBY WAIVES THE DEFENSE, AND SHALL NOT ASSERT AS A DEFENSE IN ANY LEGAL DISPUTE, THAT (A) SUCH PARTY IS NOT SUBJECT THERETO, (B) SUCH ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING MAY NOT BE BROUGHT OR IS NOT MAINTAINABLE IN SUCH COURT, (C) SUCH PARTY’S PROPERTY IS EXEMPT OR IMMUNE FROM EXECUTION, (D) SUCH ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING IS BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM OR (E) THE VENUE OF SUCH ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING IS IMPROPER.
