Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Quarterly Report”) contains various forward-looking statements and information that are based on our beliefs and those of our general partner, as well as assumptions made by and information currently available to us. These forward-looking statements are identified as any statement that does not relate strictly to historical or current facts. Certain words in this Quarterly Report such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “forecast,” “goal,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “project,” “will,” and similar expressions and statements regarding our plans and objectives for future operations, identify forward-looking statements. Although we and our general partner believe such forward-looking statements are reasonable, neither we nor our general partner can assure they will prove to be correct. Forward-looking statements are subject to a variety of risks, uncertainties and assumptions. If one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or if underlying assumptions prove incorrect, our actual results may vary materially from those expected. Among the key risk factors that may affect our consolidated financial position and results of operations are:

changes in general economic conditions, including market and macroeconomic disruptions resulting from the novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic and related governmental responses;
the prices of crude oil, natural gas liquids, gasoline, diesel, and biodiesel;
energy prices generally;
the general level of crude oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids production;
the general level of demand, and the availability of supply, for crude oil, natural gas liquids, gasoline, diesel, and biodiesel;

the availability, price, and marketing of competing fuels;
the effect of energy conservation efforts on product demand;
energy efficiencies and technological trends;
changes in applicable laws and regulations, including tax, environmental, transportation, and employment regulations, or new interpretations by regulatory agencies concerning such laws and regulations and the effect of such laws and regulations (now existing or in the future) on our business operations;
the effect of legislative and regulatory actions on hydraulic fracturing, water disposal and transportation, and the treatment of flowback and produced water;
hazards or operating risks related to transporting and distributing petroleum products that may not be fully covered by insurance;
the maturity of the crude oil, natural gas liquids, and refined products industries and competition from other markets;
loss of key personnel;
the ability to renew contracts with key customers;

the nonpayment, nonperformance or bankruptcy by our counterparties;
the availability and cost of capital and our ability to access certain capital sources;
a deterioration of the credit and capital markets;
the ability to successfully identify and complete accretive acquisitions, and integrate acquired assets and businesses;
changes in the volume of crude oil recovered during the water treatment process;
changes in the financial condition and results of operations of entities in which we own noncontrolling equity interests;

NGL Energy Partners LP (“we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Partnership”) is a Delaware limited partnership. NGL Energy Holdings LLC serves as our general partner. At June 30, 2020, our operations included three segments:

Our Crude Oil Logistics segment purchases crude oil from producers and marketers and transports it to refineries or for resale at pipeline injection stations, storage terminals, barge loading facilities, rail facilities, refineries, and other trade hubs, and provides storage, terminaling, and transportation services through its owned assets. Our activities in this segment are supported by certain long-term, fixed rate contracts which include minimum volume commitments on our pipelines.
Our Water Solutions segment transports, treats, recycles and disposes of produced and flowback water generated from crude oil and natural gas production. We also dispose of solids such as tank bottoms, drilling fluids and drilling muds and perform other ancillary services such as truck and frac tank washouts. As part of processing water, we are able to aggregate recovered crude oil, also known as skim oil, that was contained in the water and sell the crude oil. We also sell brackish non-potable water to our producer customers to be used in their crude oil exploration and production activities. Our activities in this segment are underpinned by long-term, fixed fee contracts and acreage dedications, some of which contain minimum volume commitments, with leading oil and gas companies including large, investment grade producer customers.
Our Liquids and Refined Products segment conducts marketing operations for natural gas liquids, refined petroleum products and biodiesel to a broad range of commercial, retail and industrial customers across the United States and Canada. These operations are conducted through our company-owned terminals, other third party storage and terminal facilities, common carrier pipelines and our extensive fleet of leased railcars. We also provide natural gas liquids and refined product terminaling and storage services at our salt dome storage facility joint venture in Utah and marine exports through our facility located in Chesapeake, Virginia. We employ a number of contractual and hedging strategies to minimize commodity exposure and maximize earnings stability of this segment.

Note 2—Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include our accounts and those of our controlled subsidiaries. Intercompany transactions and account balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Investments we do not control, but can exercise significant influence over, are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. We also own an undivided interest in a crude oil pipeline, and include our proportionate share of assets, liabilities, and expenses related to this pipeline in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim consolidated financial information in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements exclude certain information and notes required by GAAP for complete annual consolidated financial statements. However, we believe that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments that we consider necessary for a fair presentation of our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. Such adjustments consist only of normal recurring items, unless otherwise disclosed in this Quarterly Report. The unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2020 was derived from our audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K (“Annual Report”) filed with the SEC on June 1, 2020.

These interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report. Due to the seasonal nature of certain of our operations and other factors, the results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for future periods or for the full fiscal year ending March 31, 2021.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amount of assets and liabilities reported at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the amount of revenues and expenses reported during the periods presented.

Critical estimates we make in the preparation of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include, among others, determining the fair value of assets and liabilities acquired in acquisitions, the fair value of derivative instruments, the collectibility of accounts and notes receivable, the recoverability of inventories, useful lives and recoverability of property, plant and equipment and amortizable intangible assets, the impairment of long-lived assets and goodwill, the fair value of asset retirement obligations, the value of equity-based compensation, accruals for environmental matters and estimating certain revenues. Although we believe these estimates are reasonable, actual results could differ from those estimates.

Significant Accounting Policies

Our significant accounting policies are consistent with those disclosed in Note 2 of our audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report.

Income Taxes

We qualify as a partnership for income tax purposes. As such, we generally do not pay United States federal income tax. Rather, each owner reports his or her share of our income or loss on his or her individual tax return. The aggregate difference in the basis of our net assets for financial and tax reporting purposes cannot be readily determined, as we do not have access to information regarding each partner’s basis in the Partnership.

We have a deferred tax liability of $55.6 million and $56.4 million at June 30, 2020 and March 31, 2020, respectively, as a result of acquiring corporations in connection with certain of our acquisitions, which is included within other noncurrent liabilities in our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. The deferred tax liability is the tax effected cumulative temporary difference between the GAAP basis and tax basis of the acquired assets within the corporation. For GAAP purposes, certain of the acquired assets will be depreciated and amortized over time which will lower the GAAP basis. The deferred tax benefit recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2020 was $0.8 million with an effective tax rate of 23.5%. The deferred tax benefit recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2019 was $1.0 million with an effective tax rate of 24.6%.

We evaluate uncertain tax positions for recognition and measurement in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. To recognize a tax position, we determine whether it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation, based on the technical merits of the position. A tax position that meets the more likely than not threshold is measured to determine the amount of benefit to be recognized in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. We had no material uncertain tax positions that required recognition in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements at June 30, 2020 or March 31, 2020.

Inventories

Our inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost determined using either the weighted-average cost or the first in, first out (FIFO) methods, including the cost of transportation and storage, and with net realizable value defined as the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. In performing this analysis, we consider fixed-price forward commitments.

Decrease is due to the monthly installment payments made during the three months ended June 30, 2020 related to our acquisition of certain assets of Mesquite Disposals Unlimited, LLC (“Mesquite”). We have made two monthly payments subsequent to June 30, 2020, and per the agreement, we currently have four remaining monthly payments.

Reclassifications

We have reclassified certain prior period financial statement information to be consistent with the classification methods used in the current fiscal year. These reclassifications did not impact previously reported amounts of assets, liabilities, equity, net income, or cash flows.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2020, the SEC issued “Financial Disclosures About Guarantors and Issuers of Guaranteed Securities and Affiliates Whose Securities Collateralize a Registrant’s Securities”, which amends the disclosure requirements for guarantors

NGL ENERGY PARTNERS LP AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)


and issuers of guaranteed securities registered or being registered in Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X. The amendment simplifies the disclosure requirements and permits the amended disclosures to be provided outside the footnotes in audited annual or unaudited interim consolidated financial statements in all filings. The guidance is effective for the Partnership for fiscal periods ending after January 4, 2021, although early adoption is permitted. We adopted this guidance effective April 1, 2020 and elected to include the required summarized financial information in “Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of OperationsLiquidity, Sources of Capital and Capital Resource ActivitiesGuarantor Summarized Financial Information.”

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses.” The ASU requires a financial asset (or a group of financial assets) measured at amortized cost to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected, which would include trade accounts receivable. The measurement of expected credit losses is based on relevant information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectibility of the reported amount. We adopted ASU No. 2016-13 on April 1, 2020, using the modified retrospective approach with a cumulative effect adjustment of $1.1 million to opening equity at the beginning of the period of adoption. See Note 16 for a further discussion of the impact of the adoption of this ASU on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Note 4—Acquisitions

The following summarizes the status of the preliminary purchase price allocation of acquisitions completed prior to April 1, 2020:

Hillstone Environmental Partners, LLC (“Hillstone”) Acquisition

During the three months ended June 30, 2020, we received additional information and recorded an increase of less than $0.1 million to current assets and a decrease of $0.5 million to current liabilities with the offset to goodwill. There were no other adjustments to the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed during the three months ended June 30, 2020. As of June 30, 2020, the allocation of the purchase price is considered preliminary as we are continuing to gather additional information to (i) finalize the calculation of the deferred tax liability and (ii) finalize working capital items.

Credit Agreement

We are party to a credit agreement (“Credit Agreement”) with a syndicate of banks. The Credit Agreement provides up to $1.915 billion in aggregate commitments and consists of a revolving credit facility to fund working capital needs (“Working Capital Facility”), and another to fund acquisitions and expansion projects (“Expansion Capital Facility”). On April 27, 2020, we amended our Credit Agreement to reallocate availability between the two revolving credit facilities. We reduced the capacity of the Working Capital Facility to $350.0 million and increased the Expansion Capital Facility to $1.565 billion (the “Expansion Capital Facility,” and together with the Working Capital Facility, the “Revolving Credit Facility”). We had letters of credit of $85.2 million on the Working Capital Facility at June 30, 2020. The capacity under the Working Capital Facility may be limited by a “borrowing base” (as defined in the Credit Agreement) which is calculated based on the value of certain working capital items at any point in time. The commitments under the Credit Agreement expire on October 5, 2021.

At June 30, 2020, the borrowings under the Credit Agreement had a weighted average interest rate of 2.74%, calculated as the weighted average LIBOR rate of 0.19% plus a margin of 2.50% for LIBOR borrowings and the prime rate of 3.25% plus a margin of 1.50% on alternate base rate borrowings. At June 30, 2020, the interest rate in effect on letters of credit was 2.50%. Commitment fees are charged at a rate ranging from 0.375% to 0.50% on any unused capacity.

The Credit Agreement specifies that our senior secured leverage ratio cannot be more than 3.50 to 1, that our interest coverage ratio cannot be less than 2.50 to 1 and the total leverage indebtedness ratio cannot be more than 5.50 to 1 at any quarter end. At June 30, 2020, our senior secured leverage ratio was approximately 3.06 to 1, our interest coverage ratio was approximately 3.47 to 1, and our total leverage indebtedness ratio was approximately 5.36 to 1.

We were in compliance with the covenants under the Credit Agreement at June 30, 2020.

Senior Unsecured Notes

The senior unsecured notes include the 2023 Notes, 2025 Notes and 2026 Notes (collectively, the “Senior Unsecured Notes”).

Compliance

At June 30, 2020, we were in compliance with the covenants under the indentures for all of the Senior Unsecured Notes.

Term Credit Agreement

On June 3, 2020, we entered into a new $250.0 million term credit agreement (the “Term Credit Agreement”) with certain funds and accounts managed by affiliates of Apollo Global Management, Inc. to refinance the existing Bridge Term Credit Agreement (as defined herein).

The commitments under the Term Credit Agreement expire on June 3, 2023 and are callable by us after two years at par. We are subject to prepayments of principal if we enter into certain transactions to sell assets, issue equity or obtain new borrowings.

The obligations under the Term Credit Agreement are guaranteed by the Partnership and certain of NGL Energy Operating LLC’s (“Borrower”) wholly-owned subsidiaries, and are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Borrower, the Partnership and the other subsidiary guarantors subject to certain customary exclusions.

All borrowings under the Term Credit Agreement bear interest at LIBOR (based on the higher of one-month or three-month LIBOR), subject to a 1.50% LIBOR floor, plus 8.00%. At June 30, 2020, the borrowings under the Term Credit Agreement had an interest rate of 9.50% (as of June 30, 2020 the reference LIBOR rate was below the LIBOR floor of 1.50%).


19

NGL ENERGY PARTNERS LP AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)


The Term Credit Agreement contains various customary representations, warranties and covenants by the Partnership and its subsidiaries, including, without limitation, (i) financial covenants limiting leverage, including senior secured leverage and total leverage, and requiring a minimum interest coverage, (ii) negative covenants limiting indebtedness, liens, investments, equity distributions, dispositions and fundamental changes and involving the Partnership or its subsidiaries and (iii) affirmative covenants requiring, among other things, reporting of financial information and material events and covenants to maintain existence and pay taxes, in each case substantially consistent with the Borrower’s existing Revolving Credit Facility.

The Term Credit Agreement specifies that our senior secured leverage ratio cannot be more than 3.50 to 1, that our interest coverage ratio cannot be less than 2.50 to 1 and the total leverage indebtedness ratio cannot be more than 5.75 to 1 for the four fiscal quarters of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2021. As of June 30, 2021 and through June 3, 2023, the maximum total leverage indebtedness ratio will be 5.50 to 1. At June 30, 2020, our senior secured leverage ratio was approximately 3.06 to 1, our interest coverage ratio was approximately 3.47 to 1, and our total leverage indebtedness ratio was approximately 5.36 to 1.

At June 30, 2020, we were in compliance with the covenants under the Term Credit Agreement.

Bridge Term Credit Agreement

On July 2, 2019, we entered into a bridge term credit agreement (the “Bridge Term Credit Agreement”) with Toronto Dominion (Texas) LLC for a $250.0 million term loan facility. Toronto Dominion (Texas) LLC and certain of its affiliates are also lenders under our Credit Agreement. On June 3, 2020, we used the proceeds from the Term Credit Agreement to pay off the outstanding balance of the Bridge Term Credit Agreement. We wrote off $2.2 million of debt issuance costs to gain on early extinguishment of liabilities, net within our unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations.

Sawtooth Credit Agreement

On November 27, 2019, Sawtooth Caverns LLC (“Sawtooth”), a joint venture in which we own approximately a 71.5% interest, entered into a credit agreement with Zions Bancorporation (doing business as “Amegy Bank”). The Sawtooth credit agreement has a capacity of $20.0 million. The commitments under the Sawtooth credit agreement expire on November 27, 2022. At June 30, 2020, no amounts had been borrowed under the Sawtooth credit agreement. Commitment fees are charged at a rate of 0.50% on any unused capacity.

Other Long-Term Debt

We have other notes payable related to equipment financing. The interest rates on these instruments range from 4.13% to 7.10% per year and have an aggregate principal balance of $4.5 million at June 30, 2020.

Note 9—Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Contingencies

In August 2015, LCT Capital, LLC (“LCT”) filed a lawsuit against NGL Energy Holdings LLC (the “GP”) and the Partnership seeking payment for investment banking services relating to the purchase of TransMontaigne Inc. and related assets in July 2014. After pre-trial rulings, LCT was limited to pursuing claims of (i) quantum meruit (the value of the services rendered by LCT) and (ii) fraudulent misrepresentation against the defendants. Following a jury trial conducted in Delaware state court from July 23, 2018 through August 1, 2018, the jury returned a verdict consisting of an award of $4.0 million for quantum meruit and $29.0 million for fraudulent misrepresentation, subject to statutory interest. The GP and the Partnership contend that the jury verdict, at least in respect of fraudulent misrepresentation, is not supportable by either controlling law or the evidentiary record. On December 5, 2019, in response to the defendants’ post-trial motion, the Court issued an Order overturning the jury’s damages award and ordering the case to be set for a damages-only trial. Both parties filed applications with the trial court asking the trial court to certify the December 5th Order for interlocutory, immediate review by the Appellate Court. On December 23, 2019, the trial court issued an Order certifying for immediate review by the appellate court the issue of whether the types of damages awarded by the jury are legally supportable since it was also determined by the Court that there was no contract between the parties. On January 7, 2020, the Supreme Court of Delaware entered an Order expanding the issues to be reviewed on appeal to include the additional issues raised by the NGL parties’ application - namely, whether the December 5th Order correctly set aside the jury’s $4.0 million quantum meruit award, whether certain jury instructions were correct and whether the evidence presented at trial supported the claims asserted by LCT. The Supreme Court consolidated the appeal proceedings for judicial efficiency and set a briefing cycle for the parties whereby the appeal-related briefs and materials were fully submitted by both parties on August 10, 2020. It is our position that the awards, even if they each stand, are not cumulative. Any allocation of the ultimate verdict award between the GP and the Partnership will be made by the board of directors of our general partner once all information is available to it and after the post-trial and any appellate process has concluded and the verdict is final as a matter of law. Because the Partnership is a named defendant in the lawsuit, and any judgment ultimately awarded would be joint and several with the GP, we have determined that it is probable that the Partnership could be liable for a portion of this judgment. At this time, we believe the amount that could be allocated to the Partnership would not be material as it is estimated to be less than $4.0 million. As of June 30, 2020, we have accrued $2.5 million related to this matter.

We are party to various other claims, legal actions, and complaints arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of our management, the ultimate resolution of these claims, legal actions, and complaints, after consideration of amounts accrued, insurance coverage, and other arrangements, is not expected to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, the outcome of such matters is inherently uncertain, and estimates of our liabilities may change materially as circumstances develop.

Environmental Matters

At June 30, 2020, we have an environmental liability, measured on an undiscounted basis, of $1.9 million, which is recorded within accrued expenses and other payables in our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. Our operations are subject to extensive federal, state, and local environmental laws and regulations. Although we believe our operations are in substantial compliance with applicable environmental laws and regulations, risks of additional costs and liabilities are inherent in our business, and there can be no assurance that we will not incur significant costs. Moreover, it is possible that other developments, such as increasingly stringent environmental laws, regulations and enforcement policies thereunder, and claims for damages to property or persons resulting from the operations, could result in substantial costs. Accordingly, we have adopted policies, practices, and procedures in the areas of pollution control, product safety, occupational health, and the handling, storage, use, and disposal of hazardous materials designed to prevent material environmental or other damage, and to limit the financial liability that could result from such events. However, some risk of environmental or other damage is inherent in our business.

Asset Retirement Obligations

We have contractual and regulatory obligations at certain facilities for which we have to perform remediation, dismantlement, or removal activities when the assets are retired. Our liability for asset retirement obligations is discounted to present value. To calculate the liability, we make estimates and assumptions about the retirement cost and the timing of retirement. Changes in our assumptions and estimates may occur as a result of the passage of time and the occurrence of future

events. The following table summarizes changes in our asset retirement obligation, which is reported within other noncurrent liabilities in our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets (in thousands):

In addition to the obligations described above, we may be obligated to remove facilities or perform other remediation upon retirement of certain other assets. However, the fair value of the asset retirement obligation cannot currently be reasonably estimated because the settlement dates are indeterminable. We will record an asset retirement obligation for these assets in the periods in which settlement dates are reasonably determinable.

As part of the acquisition of Hillstone, discussed in Note 4, we assumed an obligation to pay a quarterly subsidy payment in the event that specified volumetric thresholds are not exceeded at a third-party facility. This agreement expires on December 31, 2022. For the three months ended June 30, 2020, we recorded $0.7 million within operating expense in our unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations. At June 30, 2020, the range of potential payments we could be obligated to make pursuant to the subsidy agreement could be from $0.0 million to $8.1 million.

Pipeline Capacity Agreements

We have noncancelable agreements with crude oil pipeline operators, which guarantee us minimum monthly shipping capacity on the pipelines. As a result, we are required to pay the minimum shipping fees if actual shipments are less than our allotted capacity. Under certain agreements we have the ability to recover minimum shipping fees previously paid if our shipping volumes exceed the minimum monthly shipping commitment during each month remaining under the agreement, with some contracts containing provisions that allow us to continue shipping up to six months after the maturity date of the contract in order to recapture previously paid minimum shipping delinquency fees. We currently have an asset recorded in prepaid expenses and other current assets and in other noncurrent assets in our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet for minimum shipping fees paid in both the current and previous periods that are expected to be recovered in future periods by exceeding the minimum monthly volumes (see Note 2).

Our crude oil index-price purchase commitments exceed our crude oil index-price sales commitments (presented below) due primarily to our long-term purchase commitments for crude oil that we purchase and ship on the Grand Mesa Pipeline. As these purchase commitments are deliver-or-pay contracts, whereby our counterparty is required to pay us for any volumes not delivered, we have not entered into corresponding long-term sales contracts for volumes we may not receive.

We account for the contracts shown in the tables above using the normal purchase and normal sale election. Under this accounting policy election, we do not record the physical contracts at fair value at each balance sheet date; instead, we record the purchase or sale at the contracted value once the delivery occurs. Contracts in the tables above may have offsetting derivative contracts (described in Note 11) or inventory positions (described in Note 2).

Certain other forward purchase and sale contracts do not qualify for the normal purchase and normal sale election. These contracts are recorded at fair value in our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet and are not included in the tables above. These contracts are included in the derivative disclosures in Note 11, and represent $3.5 million of our prepaid expenses and other current assets and $2.7 million of our accrued expenses and other payables at June 30, 2020.

Note 10—Equity

Partnership Equity

The Partnership’s equity consists of a 0.1% general partner interest and a 99.9% limited partner interest, which consists of common units. Our general partner has the right, but not the obligation, to contribute a proportionate amount of capital to us to maintain its 0.1% general partner interest. Our general partner is not required to guarantee or pay any of our debts and obligations. As of June 30, 2020, we owned 8.69% of our general partner.

Common Unit Repurchase Program

On August 30, 2019, the board of directors of our general partner authorized a common unit repurchase program, under which we may repurchase up to $150.0 million of our outstanding common units through September 30, 2021 from time to time in the open market or in other privately negotiated transactions. We did not repurchase any units under this plan during the three months ended June 30, 2020.

Class B Preferred Units

On June 13, 2017, we issued 8,400,000 of our 9.00% Class B Fixed-to-Floating Rate Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Units (“Class B Preferred Units”) representing limited partner interests at a price of $25.00 per unit for net proceeds of $202.7 million (net of the underwriters’ discount of $6.6 million and offering costs of $0.7 million).

On July 2, 2019, we issued 4,185,642 Class B Preferred Units to fund a portion of the purchase price for the Mesquite acquisition.

The current distribution rate for the Class B Preferred Units is 9.00% per year of the $25.00 liquidation preference per unit (equal to $2.25 per unit per year). The following table summarizes distributions declared on our Class B Preferred Units during the last two quarters:

Class D Preferred Units

On July 2, 2019, we completed a private placement of an aggregate of 400,000 preferred units (“Class D Preferred Units”) and warrants exercisable to purchase an aggregate of 17,000,000 common units for net proceeds of $385.4 million. On October 31, 2019, we completed a private placement of an aggregate of 200,000 Class D Preferred Units and warrants exercisable to purchase an aggregate of 8,500,000 common units for net proceeds of $194.7 million. As of June 30, 2020, all warrants are still outstanding.

The current distribution rate for the Class D Preferred Units is 9.00% per year per unit (equal to $90.00 per every $1,000 in unit value per year). The following table summarizes distributions declared on our Class D Preferred Units during the last two quarters:

The distributions paid in cash for the three months ended June 30, 2020 of $6.9 million represented 50% of the Class D Preferred Units distribution amount. In accordance with the terms of our Partnership Agreement, the value of each Class D Preferred Unit shall automatically increase by the non-cash accretion, which is approximately $6.9 million in the aggregate with respect to the distributions for the three months ended June 30, 2020.

Equity-Based Incentive Compensation

Our general partner has adopted a long-term incentive plan (“LTIP”), which allows for the issuance of equity-based compensation. Our general partner has granted certain restricted units to employees and directors, which vest in tranches, subject to the continued service of the recipients through the vesting date (the “Service Awards”). The awards may also vest upon a change of control, at the discretion of the board of directors of our general partner. No distributions accrue to or are paid on the Service Awards during the vesting period.

The following table summarizes the Service Award activity during the three months ended June 30, 2020:
Unvested Service Award units at March 31, 2020

2021 (nine months)
 
907,700

2022
 
456,225

Total
 
1,363,925



Service Awards are valued at the average of the high/low sales price as of the grant date less the present value of the expected distribution stream over the vesting period using a risk-free interest rate. The weighted-average grant price for June 30, 2020 was $4.54. We record the expense for each Service Award on a straight-line basis over the requisite period for the entire award (that is, over the requisite service period of the last separately vesting portion of the award), ensuring that the amount of compensation cost recognized at any date at least equals the portion of the grant-date value of the award that is vested at that date.

During the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, we recorded compensation expense related to Service Award units of $1.3 million and $2.8 million, respectively.

We may have fixed price physical purchases, including inventory, offset by floating price physical sales or floating price physical purchases offset by fixed price physical sales. These contracts are derivatives we have entered into as an economic hedge against the risk of mismatches between fixed and floating price physical obligations.

During the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, we recorded a net loss of $27.4 million and a net gain of $5.6 million, respectively, from our commodity derivatives to revenues and cost of sales in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. The amounts for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 do not include net gains and losses related to Mid-Con (as defined herein), Gas Blending (as defined herein) and TPSL, as these amounts have been classified as discontinued operations within our unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations (see Note 18).

Credit Risk

We have credit policies that we believe minimize our overall credit risk, including an evaluation of potential counterparties’ financial condition (including credit ratings), collateral requirements under certain circumstances, and the use of industry standard master netting agreements, which allow for offsetting counterparty receivable and payable balances for certain transactions. At June 30, 2020, our primary counterparties were retailers, resellers, energy marketers, producers, refiners, and dealers. This concentration of counterparties may impact our overall exposure to credit risk, either positively or negatively, as the counterparties may be similarly affected by changes in economic, regulatory or other conditions. If a counterparty does not perform on a contract, we may not realize amounts that have been recorded in our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets and recognized in our net income.

Interest Rate Risk

The Revolving Credit Facility is variable-rate debt with interest rates that are generally indexed to bank prime or LIBOR interest rates. At June 30, 2020, we had $1.7 billion of outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility at a weighted average interest rate of 2.74%.


28

NGL ENERGY PARTNERS LP AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)


The Term Credit Agreement is variable-rate debt with interest rates that are generally indexed to LIBOR interest rates. At June 30, 2020, we had $250.0 million of outstanding borrowings under the Term Credit Agreement at an interest rate of 9.50%.

For the Senior Unsecured Notes, the fair value estimates were developed based on publicly traded quotes and would be classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

Note 12—Segments

As a result of the sale of a large part of the assets that constituted the former Refined Products and Renewables reportable segment, the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) decided during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2020 that the remaining business within the former Refined Products and Renewables reportable segment would be aggregated with the former Liquids reportable segment and form the current Liquids and Refined Products reportable segment. Operating results for the reportable segments have been recast for the three months ended June 30, 2019 to reflect these changes. Our Crude Oil Logistics and Water Solutions reportable segments remain unchanged from what has been previously reported.

The following table summarizes revenues related to our segments. Transactions between segments are recorded based on prices negotiated between the segments. The “Corporate and Other” category in the table below includes certain corporate expenses that are not allocated to the reportable segments.

Note 14—Revenue from Contracts with Customers

Effective April 1, 2018, we recognize revenue for services and products under revenue contracts as our obligations to either perform services or deliver or sell products under the contracts are satisfied. Our revenue contracts in scope under ASC 606 primarily have a single performance obligation and we do not receive material amounts of non-cash consideration. Our costs to obtain or fulfill our revenue contracts were not material as of June 30, 2020.

The majority of our revenue agreements are within scope under ASC 606 and the remainder of our revenue comes from contracts that are accounted for as derivatives under ASC 815 or that contain nonmonetary exchanges or leases and are in scope under Topics 845 and 842, respectively. See Note 12 for a detail of disaggregated revenue. Revenue from contracts accounted for as derivatives under ASC 815 within our Liquids and Refined Products segment includes $1.0 million of net gains related to changes in the mark-to-market value of these arrangements recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2020.

Remaining Performance Obligations

Most of our service contracts are such that we have the right to consideration from a customer in an amount that corresponds directly with the value to the customer of our performance completed to date. Therefore, we are utilizing the practical expedient in ASC 606-10-55-18 under which we recognize revenue in the amount to which we have the right to invoice. Applying this practical expedient, we are not required to disclose the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations under these agreements. The following table summarizes the amount and timing of revenue recognition for such contracts at June 30, 2020 (in thousands):

Lessor Accounting and Subleases

Our lessor arrangements include storage and railcar contracts. We also, from time to time, sublease certain of our storage capacity and railcars to third parties. Fixed rental revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. During the three months ended June 30, 2020, fixed rental revenue was $4.3 million, which includes $0.7 million of sublease revenue. During the three months ended June 30, 2019, fixed rental revenue was $5.4 million, which includes $1.4 million of sublease revenue.

Note 16—Allowance for Current Expected Credit Loss (CECL)

ASU 2016-13 requires that an allowance for expected credit losses be recognized for certain financial assets that reflects the current expected credit loss over the financial asset’s contractual life. The valuation allowance considers the risk of loss, even if remote, and considers past events, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts.

We are exposed to credit losses primarily through sale of products and services and notes receivable from third-parties. A counterparty’s ability to pay is assessed through a credit process that considers the payment terms, the counterparty’s established credit rating or our assessment of the counterparty’s credit worthiness and other risks. We can require prepayment or collateral to mitigate credit risks.

We group our financial assets into pools of counterparties with similar risk characteristics for the purpose of determining the allowance for expected credit losses. Each reporting period, we assess whether a significant change in the risk of expected credit loss has occurred. Among the quantitative and qualitative factors considered in calculating our allowance for expected credit losses are historical financial data, including write-offs and allowances, current conditions, industry risk and current credit ratings. Financial assets will be written off in whole, or in part, when practical recovery efforts have been exhausted and no reasonable expectation of recovery exists. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are recorded as an increase to the allowance. We manage receivable pools using past due balances as a key credit quality indicator.

Note 17—Other Matters

Third-party Loan Receivable
As discussed previously in Note 2, we had an outstanding loan receivable of $26.7 million, including accrued interest, associated with our interest in the Facility that is utilized by a third party. Our loan receivable was secured by title to and a lien interest on the Facility. The third party filed a petition for bankruptcy under Chapter 11 of the bankruptcy code in July 2019, at which time we filed our Proof of Claim within the bankruptcy case. The Chapter 11 plan, as supplemented, was approved by the bankruptcy court in February 2020, pursuant to which we were expected to be paid a $26.7 million secured claim as an unimpaired creditor. After the approval of the supplemental plan, the third party attempted to negotiate with us to accept an amount less than the full amount of our claim or to take back the Facility in kind. In May 2020, we filed a motion with the bankruptcy court to compel the third party to pay us the full amount of the claim in accordance with the approved plan. The bankruptcy court ruled in May 2020 that the third party would need to either pay us the full amount of the claim or deliver the Facility to us at a destination of our reasonable choosing. On June 26, 2020, we settled our claim with the third party and

35

NGL ENERGY PARTNERS LP AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)


agreed to receive $16.3 million, for which we released any and all claims and/or liens with respect to the Facility and transferred title of the Facility to the third party. For the remaining $10.4 million of the loan receivable, we have filed an unsecured claim within the bankruptcy. As of June 30, 2020, we wrote-off approximately $9.4 million, the portion of the unsecured claimed we have deemed uncollectible, and this amount was recorded as a loss within loss (gain) on disposal or impairment of assets, net in our unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations. As of June 30, 2020, the remaining balance of $0.6 million, net of an allowance for an expected credit loss, is recorded within prepaid expenses and other current assets in our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Third-party Bankruptcy

During the three months ended June 30, 2020, a third-party, who is a significant shipper on our crude oil pipeline, filed a petition for bankruptcy under Chapter 11 of the bankruptcy code. This third-party has transportation contracts pursuant to which it has committed to ship crude oil on our pipeline through October 2026. As part of the bankruptcy filing, the third-party has requested that the court authorize it to reject these transportation contracts, effective June 14, 2020. We dispute the third party’s ability to reject the transportation contracts and have, among other things, filed an objection within the bankruptcy and, currently, a hearing on this matter is set to take place on September 3, 2020. The third-party also has a water disposal contract with our Water Solutions segment whereby we dispose of its produced water for a fee. For this contract, because we are secured by statutory liens, we have requested that they pay us for those prepetition services under authority granted to them by the bankruptcy court. Pending receipt of that payment, we will be filing a secured claim in the bankruptcy case. On August 10, 2020, the third-party filed a motion with the bankruptcy court to also reject our water disposal contract and we have 14 days from the date of their filing in which to respond with our objection. Since the filing of the bankruptcy petition, the third-party has continued to utilize the services under both the transportation contracts and the water disposal contract and the third-party is current on all of its post filing date receivables.

Note 18—Discontinued Operations

As previously disclosed, on September 30, 2019, we completed the sale of TransMontaigne Product Services, LLC (“TPSL”) to Trajectory Acquisition Company, LLC. On January 3, 2020, we completed the sale of our refined products business in the mid-continent region of the United States (“Mid-Con”) to a third-party. On March 30, 2020, we completed the sale of our gas blending business in the southeastern and eastern regions of the United States (“Gas Blending”) to another third-party. As the sale of each of these businesses represented strategic shifts, the results of operations and cash flows related to these businesses are classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented, and prior periods have been retrospectively adjusted in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations and unaudited condensed consolidated statement of cash flows.

Continuing Involvement

As of June 30, 2020, we have commitments to sell up to 56.8 million gallons of propane, valued at $37.4 million (based on the contract price), to Superior Plus Corp. and DCC LPG, the purchasers of our former Retail Propane segment, through May 2021. During the three months ended June 30, 2020, we received $0.6 million from DCC LPG for propane sold to them during the period.

Item 2.    Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following is a discussion of NGL Energy Partners LP’s (“we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Partnership”) financial condition and results of operations as of and for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The discussion should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Quarterly Report”), as well as Part II, Item 7–“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020 (“Annual Report”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 1, 2020.

Overview

We are a Delaware limited partnership. NGL Energy Holdings LLC serves as our general partner. At June 30, 2020, our operations included three segments: Crude Oil Logistics, Water Solutions and Liquids and Refined Products. See Note 1 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report for a further discussion of these businesses.

As a result of the sale of a large part of the assets that constituted the former Refined Products and Renewables reportable segment (see “Acquisitions and Dispositions” below and Note 18 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report), the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) decided during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2020 that the remaining business within the former Refined Products and Renewables reportable segment would be aggregated with the former Liquids reportable segment and form the current Liquids and Refined Products reportable segment. Operating results for the reportable segments have been recast for the three months ended June 30, 2019 to reflect these changes. Our Crude Oil Logistics and Water Solutions reportable segments remain unchanged from what has been previously reported.

Items Impacting the Comparability of Our Financial Results

Our current and future results of operations may not be comparable to our historical results of operations for the periods presented due to business combinations, disposals and other transactions. Our results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for future periods or for the full fiscal year ending March 31, 2021.

Recent Developments

Late in the fourth quarter of our 2020 fiscal year, the energy industry experienced historic events that led to a simultaneous demand and supply shock. Saudi Arabia and Russia increased production of crude oil as the two countries competed for market share. As a result, the global supply of crude oil significantly exceeded demand and led to a collapse in global crude oil prices.

In addition, the World Health Organization declared the novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) a global pandemic and recommended containment and mitigation measures worldwide, which contributed to a massive economic slowdown and decreased demand for crude oil. This period of unprecedented restrictions on travel and economic activity significantly reduced demand for refined products. The reduction in refined products demand, lower crude oil prices and limited storage capacity combined to put significant downward pressure on domestic crude oil and natural gas producers as they assess their future drilling and production plans. All three of our segments were negatively impacted by the lower commodity price environment and reduced demand.

Also, commodity price declines have had an adverse impact on many participants in the energy markets, and the inherent risk of customer or counterparty nonperformance is higher when commodity prices are low or decline. In June 2020, a significant shipper on our crude oil pipeline filed a petition under Chapter 11 bankruptcy and in their filing requested that the court authorize it to reject this transportation contract. We have filed an objection and are currently awaiting a hearing on this matter. Approval of the rejection of this contract by the court could have a significant impact on our results of operations. The same third-party also has a water disposal contract with our Water Solutions segment in which we dispose of their produced

38



water for a fee. See Note 17 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report for a further discussion.

While some global and regional economies are beginning to reopen, the potential future limitations and impact of COVID-19 on our business are still unknown at this time. Crude oil prices have increased but are still relatively low, and future drilling and production plans are continually being assessed. Given the uncertain timing of a return of refined product demand to historical levels and of a recovery in commodity prices, the extent of the impact these events will continue to have on our results of operations is unclear but could be material.

Acquisitions and Dispositions

We completed numerous acquisitions and dispositions during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020. These transactions impact the comparability of our results of operations between our current and prior fiscal years. We have not completed any acquisitions or dispositions during the three months ended June 30, 2020.

During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020, we completed the following acquisitions:

On July 2, 2019, we acquired all of the assets of Mesquite Disposals Unlimited, LLC (“Mesquite”) (including 34 saltwater disposal wells and approximately 175 miles of pipelines);
On October 31, 2019, we acquired all of the equity interests of Hillstone Environmental Partners, LLC (“Hillstone”) (including 19 saltwater disposal wells);
On November 7, 2019, we acquired the exclusive rights to use certain land in Lea County, New Mexico for produced and treated water operations from one entity, certain membership interests in another entity and other assets;
During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020, we acquired one saltwater disposal facility (including three saltwater disposal wells) in Eddy County, New Mexico; and
During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020, we acquired land and two saltwater disposal wells in Pecos County, Texas.

During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020, we completed the following dispositions:

On September 30, 2019, we completed the sale of TransMontaigne Product Services, LLC (“TPSL”) to Trajectory Acquisition Company, LLC;
On January 3, 2020, we completed the sale of our refined products business in the mid-continent region of the United States (“Mid-Con”) to a third-party; and
On March 30, 2020, we completed the sale of our gas blending business in the southeastern and eastern regions of the United States (“Gas Blending”) to another third-party.

As the sale of each of these businesses represented strategic shifts, the results of operations and cash flows related to these businesses are classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented and prior periods have been retrospectively adjusted in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations and unaudited condensed consolidated statement of cash flows. See Note 18 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report for a further discussion of these transactions.

Term Credit Agreement

On June 3, 2020, we entered into a new $250.0 million term credit agreement (the “Term Credit Agreement”) with certain funds and accounts managed by affiliates of Apollo Global Management, Inc. to refinance the existing bridge term credit agreement (the “Bridge Term Credit Agreement”). The commitments under the Term Credit Agreement expire on June 3, 2023 and are callable by us after two years at par. See Note 8 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report for a further discussion.

Repurchases of Senior Unsecured Notes


39



During the three months ended June 30, 2020, we repurchased $15.0 million of the 7.50% senior unsecured notes due 2023 (“2023 Notes”), $7.3 million of the 6.125% senior unsecured notes due 2025 (“2025 Notes”) and $24.9 million of the 7.50% senior unsecured notes due 2026 (“2026 Notes”).

Revenues include $0.5 million and $9.5 million of intersegment sales during the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, that are eliminated in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.
(2)
Information is presented as of June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019, respectively.

Crude Oil Sales Revenues. The decrease was due primarily to a decrease in crude oil prices and sales volumes during the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2019.

Crude Oil Transportation and Other Revenues. The increase was partially due to our Grand Mesa Pipeline, which increased revenues by $1.3 million during the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2019, primarily due to a tariff increase in July 2019. During the three months ended June 30, 2020, financial volumes on the Grand Mesa Pipeline averaged approximately 119,000 barrels per day (volume amounts are from both internal and external parties). Net realized margins on certain volumes purchased and shipped on the pipeline were negatively impacted by the extreme crude oil price volatility during the three months ended June 30, 2020. Also, there was an increase of $1.3 million due to the new barges and towing equipment we received during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020.

Cost of Sales-Excluding Impact of Derivatives. The decrease was due primarily to a decrease in crude oil prices during the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2019.


40



Derivative Loss (Gain). Our cost of sales during the three months ended June 30, 2020 included $9.8 million of net realized losses on derivatives and $14.6 million of net unrealized losses on derivatives. Our cost of sales during the three months ended June 30, 2019 included $1.4 million of net realized gains on derivatives and $1.9 million of net unrealized gains on derivatives.

Operating and General and Administrative Expenses. Operating and general and administrative expenses were consistent with the prior year.

Depreciation and Amortization Expense. The decrease was due to asset retirements.

Loss (Gain) on Disposal or Impairment of Assets, Net. During the three months ended June 30, 2020, we recorded a net loss of $1.5 million related to the disposal of certain assets. During the three months ended June 30, 2019, we recorded a net gain of $0.6 million related to the disposal of certain assets.

41



Water Disposal Service Fee Revenues. The increase was due primarily to an increase in the price we receive to dispose of a barrel of water and an increase in the volume of produced water processed at acquired (primarily Mesquite and Hillstone) and newly developed facilities.

Recovered Crude Oil Revenues. The decrease was due primarily to approximately 1,054 barrels per day of skim oil that were stored rather than sold during the three months ended June 30, 2020 due to low crude oil prices. We expect to sell the stored crude oil during the three months ended September 30, 2020.

Other Service Revenues. Other service revenues primarily include solids disposal revenues, water pipeline revenues, land surface use revenues and brackish non-potable water revenues. The decrease was due primarily to lower solids disposal revenues, water pipeline revenues and land surface use revenues due to reduced customer drilling activity resulting from the decline in crude oil prices. These decreases were partially offset by the sale of water to customers for use in their operations.

Cost of Sales-Excluding Impact of Derivatives. The decrease was due primarily to lower disposal volumes as a result of the decline in customer drilling activity due to lower crude oil prices.

Derivative Loss (Gain). We enter into derivatives in our Water Solutions segment to protect against the risk of a decline in the market price of the crude oil we expect to recover when processing the produced water and selling the skim oil. Our cost of sales during the three months ended June 30, 2020 included $13.3 million of net unrealized losses on derivatives and $8.7 million of net realized gains on derivatives. Our cost of sales during the three months ended June 30, 2019 included $2.9 million of net realized gains on derivatives and $0.2 million of net unrealized gains on derivatives. In June 2019, we settled derivative contracts that had scheduled settlement dates from April 2020 through December 2020 and recorded a gain of $1.9 million on those derivatives.

Operating and General and Administrative Expenses. The increase was due primarily to the increase in the number of water disposal facilities and wells that we own and operate, both through acquisitions and development of new facilities.

Depreciation and Amortization Expense. The increase was due primarily to acquisitions and newly developed facilities.

Loss (Gain) on Disposal or Impairment of Assets, Net. During the three months ended June 30, 2020, we recorded a net loss of $0.3 million on the disposals of certain assets. During the three months ended June 30, 2019, we recorded a gain of $1.0 million for cash received related to a loan receivable written off in a prior period. In addition, during the three months ended June 30, 2019, we recorded a net loss of $0.4 million on the disposals of certain assets.

Cost of sales included $8.8 million of intersegment cost of sales during the three months ended June 30, 2019 between certain businesses within the Liquids and Refined Products segment and TPSL, Mid-Con and Gas Blending that are eliminated in our unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations.
(4)
Information is presented as of June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019, respectively.

Refined Products Revenues and Cost of Sales-Excluding Impact of Derivatives. The decreases in revenues and cost of sales, excluding the impact of derivatives, were due to a decrease in refined products prices and volumes. The decrease in overall prices was due to the sizable reduction in demand for both gasoline and diesel products due to COVID-19. There was also a large decrease in volumes due to the elimination of our sales in the Northeast and Southeast due to our non-compete clause with the purchaser of our TPSL business.

Refined Products Derivative Loss (Gain). Our refined products margin during the three months ended June 30, 2020 included a loss of $0.4 million from our risk management activities due primarily to unrealized losses on our open forward physical positions. Our refined products margin during the three months ended June 30, 2019 included a gain of $0.4 million from our risk management activities due primarily to unrealized gains on our open forward physical positions.

Propane Sales and Cost of Sales-Excluding Impact of Derivatives. The decreases in revenues and cost of sales, excluding the impact of derivatives, were due primarily to lower commodity prices.

Propane Derivative (Gain) Loss. Our cost of wholesale propane sales included $3.9 million of net unrealized gains on derivatives and $0.4 million of net realized gains on derivatives during the three months ended June 30, 2020. During the three

44



months ended June 30, 2019, our cost of wholesale propane sales included $3.2 million of net unrealized losses on derivatives and $0.4 million of net realized gains on derivatives.

Propane product margins, excluding the impact of derivatives, increased as inventory values aligned with reduced commodity prices.

Butane Sales and Cost of Sales-Excluding Impact of Derivatives. The decreases in revenues and cost of sales, excluding the impact of derivatives, were due to lower commodity prices and volumes as a result of lower demand.

Butane Derivative Loss (Gain). Our cost of butane sales during the three months ended June 30, 2020 included $2.9 million of net unrealized losses on derivatives and $1.9 million of net realized gains on derivatives. Our cost of butane sales included $4.8 million of net unrealized gains on derivatives and $1.3 million of net realized gains on derivatives during the three months ended June 30, 2019.

Butane product margins, excluding the impact of derivatives, decreased compared to the prior year quarter due to higher supply costs and weaker demand.

Other Products Sales and Cost of Sales-Excluding Impact of Derivatives. The decreases in revenues and cost of sales, excluding the impact of derivatives, were due to lower commodity prices.

Other Products Derivative Loss. Our cost of sales of other products included $0.3 million of net unrealized gains on derivatives and less than $1.5 million of net realized losses on derivatives during the three months ended June 30, 2020. Our cost of sales of other products during the three months ended June 30, 2019 included $4.5 million of net realized losses on derivatives and less than $0.1 million of net unrealized gains on derivatives.

Other product sales product margins during the three months ended June 30, 2020 were impacted by decreasing commodity prices.

Service Revenues. This revenue includes storage, terminaling and transportation services income. Revenue for the current quarter decreased due to lower commodity prices and lower volumes.

Operating and General and Administrative Expenses. Expenses for the current quarter were lower primarily due to lower incentive compensation and various other cost reductions and efficiency gains.

Depreciation and Amortization Expense. The increase was due to the write-down of an asset.

Loss (Gain) on Disposal or Impairment of Assets, Net. During the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, we recorded a net loss of less than $0.1 million and a net gain of less than $0.1 million, respectively, related to the sale/retirement of assets.

General and Administrative Expenses. The decrease during the three months ended June 30, 2020 was due primarily to a decrease in acquisition expense. During the three months ended June 30, 2020 acquisition expense was approximately $0.1 million, as compared to $2.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019, which included approximately $1.5 million of expenses incurred in connection with our acquisition of Mesquite. Also, share-based compensation expense decreased by approximately $1.4 million during the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2019. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in legal expenses of approximately $0.9 million.

Loss on Disposal or Impairment of Assets, Net. The increase during the three months ended June 30, 2020 was due primarily to the write-off of a loan receivable related to the construction of a facility (See Note 17 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report for further discussion). Also contributing to the loss was a write-off of installment payments made in connection with an option agreement to invest in a third-party. This option agreement was terminated during the three months ended June 30, 2020.

 
Equity in Earnings of Unconsolidated Entities

The increase of $0.3 million during the three months ended June 30, 2020 was due primarily to earnings from certain membership interests acquired in November 2019 related to specific land and water services operations, partially offset by a loss from our interest in an aircraft company during the three months ended June 30, 2020.

Interest Expense

Interest expense includes interest charged on the revolving credit facilities, term loan credit facility, bridge term loan facility and senior unsecured notes, as well as amortization of debt issuance costs, letter of credit fees, interest on equipment financing notes, and accretion of interest on non-interest bearing debt obligations. The increase of $4.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2020 was due to our entering into the Bridge Term Credit Agreement, which was entered into in connection with the Mesquite acquisition on July 2, 2019, and was replaced by the Term Credit Agreement, higher average outstanding balances on our Revolving Credit Facility (as defined herein) and increased debt issuance costs amortization. See Note 8 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report.

Gain on Early Extinguishment of Liabilities, Net

During the three months ended June 30, 2020, the net gain (inclusive of debt issuance costs written off) relates to the early extinguishment of a portion of the outstanding senior unsecured notes. See Note 8 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report for a further discussion.


46



Other Income, Net

Other income, net for the three months ended June 30, 2020 was consistent with the three months ended June 30, 2019.

Income Tax Benefit

Income tax benefit was $0.3 million during the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to an income tax benefit of $0.3 million during the three months ended June 30, 2019. See Note 2 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report for a further discussion.

Noncontrolling Interests

Noncontrolling interests represent the portion of certain consolidated subsidiaries that are owned by third parties. The decrease in the noncontrolling interest loss of $0.3 million during the three months ended June 30, 2020 was due primarily to income from operations of Mesquite that we acquired in July 2019 and a smaller loss from operations of the Sawtooth joint venture.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to financial results reported in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), we have provided the non-GAAP financial measures of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. These non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to be a substitute for those reported in accordance with GAAP. These measures may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other entities, even when similar terms are used to identify such measures.

We define EBITDA as net income (loss) attributable to NGL Energy Partners LP, plus interest expense, income tax expense (benefit), and depreciation and amortization expense. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA excluding net unrealized gains and losses on derivatives, lower of cost or net realizable value adjustments, gains and losses on disposal or impairment of assets, gains and losses on early extinguishment of liabilities, equity-based compensation expense, acquisition expense, revaluation of liabilities, certain legal settlements and other. We also include in Adjusted EBITDA certain inventory valuation adjustments related to the TPSL, Mid-Con, and Gas Blending businesses, which are included in discontinued operations, and certain refined products businesses within our Liquids and Refined Products segment, as discussed below. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as alternatives to net (loss) income, (loss) income from continuing operations before income taxes, cash flows from operating activities, or any other measure of financial performance calculated in accordance with GAAP, as those items are used to measure operating performance, liquidity or the ability to service debt obligations. We believe that EBITDA provides additional information to investors for evaluating our ability to make quarterly distributions to our unitholders and is presented solely as a supplemental measure. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA provides additional information to investors for evaluating our financial performance without regard to our financing methods, capital structure and historical cost basis. Further, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, as we define them, may not be comparable to EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, or similarly titled measures used by other entities.

Other than for the TPSL, Mid-Con, and Gas Blending businesses, which are included in discontinued operations, and certain businesses within our Liquids and Refined Products segment, for purposes of our Adjusted EBITDA calculation, we make a distinction between realized and unrealized gains and losses on derivatives. During the period when a derivative contract is open, we record changes in the fair value of the derivative as an unrealized gain or loss. When a derivative contract matures or is settled, we reverse the previously recorded unrealized gain or loss and record a realized gain or loss. We do not draw such a distinction between realized and unrealized gains and losses on derivatives of the TPSL, Mid-Con, and Gas Blending businesses, which are included in discontinued operations, and certain businesses within our Liquids and Refined Products segment. The primary hedging strategy of these businesses is to hedge against the risk of declines in the value of inventory over the course of the contract cycle, and many of the hedges cover extended periods of time. The “inventory valuation adjustment” row in the reconciliation table reflects the difference between the market value of the inventory of these businesses at the balance sheet date and its cost, adjusted for the impact of seasonal market movements related to our base inventory and the related hedge. We include this in Adjusted EBITDA because the unrealized gains and losses associated with derivative contracts associated with the inventory of this segment, which are intended primarily to hedge inventory holding risk and are included in net income, also affect Adjusted EBITDA.

Liquidity, Sources of Capital and Capital Resource Activities

General

Our principal sources of liquidity and capital resource requirements are the cash flows from our operations, borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility, debt issuances and the issuance of common and preferred units. We expect our primary cash outflows to be related to capital expenditures, interest and repayment of debt maturities and distributions paid to both preferred and common unitholders. On April 27, 2020, we announced a decrease in our quarterly distributions paid to our common unitholders from $0.39 per common unit to $0.20 per common unit. This approximately $100 million reduction, on an annualized basis, is expected to increase liquidity and de-lever the balance sheet. We also announced a reduction in expected capital spending for growth and maintenance expenditures for the fiscal year 2021.

We believe that our anticipated cash flows from operations and the borrowing capacity under our Revolving Credit Facility will be sufficient to meet our liquidity needs. Our borrowing needs vary during the year due in part to the seasonal nature of certain businesses within our Liquids and Refined Products segment. Our greatest working capital borrowing needs generally occur during the period of June through December, when we are building our natural gas liquids inventories in anticipation of the butane blending and heating seasons. Our working capital borrowing needs generally decline during the period of January through March, when the cash inflows from our Liquids and Refined Products segment are the greatest.

Cash Management

We manage cash by utilizing a centralized cash management program that concentrates the cash assets of our operating subsidiaries in joint accounts for the purposes of providing financial flexibility and lowering the cost of borrowing, transaction costs and bank fees. Our centralized cash management program provides that funds in excess of the daily needs of our operating subsidiaries are concentrated, consolidated or otherwise made available for use by other entities within our

51



consolidated group. All of our wholly-owned operating subsidiaries participate in this program. Under the cash management program, depending on whether a participating subsidiary has short-term cash surpluses or cash requirements, we provide cash to the subsidiary or the subsidiary provides cash to us.

Short-Term Liquidity

Our principal sources of short-term liquidity consist of cash generated from operating activities and borrowings under our $1.915 billion credit agreement (“Credit Agreement”), which consists of a revolving credit facility to fund working capital needs (“Working Capital Facility”), and another to fund acquisitions and expansion projects (“Expansion Capital Facility”, and together with the Working Capital Facility, the “Revolving Credit Facility”). On April 27, 2020, we amended our Credit Agreement to reallocate availability between the two revolving credit facilities. We reduced the capacity of the Working Capital Facility to $350.0 million and increased the Expansion Capital Facility to $1.565 billion. This change was due to reduced working capital borrowing needs going forward due to the sale of the TPSL, Mid-Con and Gas Blending refined products businesses. The commitments under the Credit Agreement expire on October 5, 2021.

As of June 30, 2020, we were, and expect to remain in compliance with all covenants of our Credit Agreement.

As of June 30, 2020, our current assets exceeded our current liabilities by approximately $60.6 million.

For additional information related to our Credit Agreement, see Note 8 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report.

Long-Term Financing

In addition to our principal sources of short-term liquidity discussed above, we expect to fund our longer-term financing requirements by issuing long-term notes, common units and/or preferred units, loans from financial institutions, asset securitizations or the sale of assets.

Senior Unsecured Notes

The senior unsecured notes include the 2023 Notes, 2025 Notes and 2026 Notes (collectively, the “Senior Unsecured Notes”).

Debt Repurchases

During the three months ended June 30, 2020, we repurchased $15.0 million of our 2023 Notes, $7.3 million of our 2025 Notes and $24.9 million of our 2026 Notes.

Term Credit Agreement

On June 3, 2020, we entered into a new $250.0 million Term Credit Agreement with certain funds and accounts managed by affiliates of Apollo Global Management, Inc. to refinance the existing Bridge Term Credit Agreement. The commitments under the Term Credit Agreement expire on June 3, 2023 and are callable by us after two years at par.

Bridge Term Credit Agreement

On June 3, 2020, we used the proceeds from the Term Credit Agreement to pay off the outstanding balance of the Bridge Term Credit Agreement.

For a further discussion of the Revolving Credit Facility, Senior Unsecured Notes, Term Credit Agreement and Bridge Term Credit Agreement, see Note 8 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report.

Capital expenditures are expected to continue to decrease throughout the remainder of the current fiscal year with full year expectations of $100 million for both growth and maintenance capital expenditures combined.

Distributions Declared

Our partnership agreement requires that, within 45 days after the end of each quarter, we distribute all of our available cash (as defined in our partnership agreement) to unitholders as of the record date. See further discussion of our cash distribution policy in Part II, Item 5–“Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Unitholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities” included in our Annual Report.

On June 15, 2020, the board of directors of our general partner declared a distribution on the 9.00% Class B Fixed-to Floating Rate Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Units and the 9.625% Class C Fixed-to-Floating Rate Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Units (“Class C Preferred Units”) for the three months ended June 30, 2020 of $7.1 million and $1.1 million, respectively. The distributions were paid July 15, 2020.

On July 23, 2020, the board of directors of our general partner declared a distribution on the common units and the Class D Preferred Units of $25.8 million and $6.9 million, respectively, for the holders of record on August 6, 2020. The distributions are to be paid on August 14, 2020.

For a further discussion of our distributions, see Note 10 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report.

Operating Activities-Continuing Operations. The seasonality of our Liquids and Refined Products business has a significant effect on our cash flows from operating activities. Increases in natural gas liquids prices typically reduce our operating cash flows due to higher cash requirements to fund increases in inventories, and decreases in natural gas liquids prices typically increase our operating cash flows due to lower cash requirements to fund increases in inventories. In our Liquids and Refined Products business, we typically experience operating losses or lower operating income during our first and second quarters, or the six months ending September 30, as a result of lower volumes of natural gas liquids sales and when we are building our inventory levels for the upcoming butane blending and heating seasons, which generally begin in late fall, under normal demand conditions, and run through February or March. We borrow under the Revolving Credit Facility to supplement our operating cash flows during the periods in which we are building inventory. Our operations, and as a result our cash flows, are also impacted by positive and negative movements in commodity prices, which cause fluctuations in the value of inventory, accounts receivable and payables, due to increases and decreases in revenues and cost of sales. The decrease in net cash provided by operating activities during the three months ended June 30, 2020 was due primarily to fluctuations in the value of accounts receivable, inventory and other current and noncurrent assets during the three months ended June 30, 2020.

Investing Activities-Continuing Operations. Net cash used in investing activities was $124.2 million during the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to net cash used in investing activities of $203.6 million during the three months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease in net cash used in investing activities was due primarily to:

a decrease in capital expenditures from $155.4 million (includes payment of amounts accrued as of March 31, 2019) during the three months ended June 30, 2019 to $97.8 million (includes payment of amounts accrued as of March 31, 2020) during the three months ended June 30, 2020 due primarily to expansion projects in our Water Solutions segment during the three months ended June 30, 2019; and
$55.4 million in cash paid for acquisitions and investments in unconsolidated entities during the three months ended June 30, 2019.

These decreases in net cash used in investing activities was partially offset by a $28.7 million increase in payments to settle derivatives.

Financing Activities-Continuing Operations. Net cash provided by financing activities was $47.5 million during the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $138.3 million during the three months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease in net cash provided by financing activities was due primarily to:

$450.0 million in proceeds from the issuance of the 2026 Notes during the three months ended June 30, 2019;
$62.8 million in contingent consideration payments as part of the Mesquite acquisition during the three months ended June 30, 2020;
$42.6 million in net proceeds from the issuance of the Class C Preferred Units during the three months ended June 30, 2019; and
repurchases of $25.0 million of our senior unsecured notes during the three months ended June 30, 2020.

These decreases in net cash provided by financing activities were partially offset by:

$265.1 million in payments for the redemption of the 10.75% Class A Convertible Preferred Units during the three months ended June 30, 2019;
an increase of $204.0 million in borrowings on the Revolving Credit Facility (net of repayments) during the three months ended June 30, 2020; and
a decrease of $19.2 million in distributions paid to our general partners and common unitholders, preferred unitholders and noncontrolling interest owners during the three months ended June 30, 2020 due primarily to the reduction in the quarterly common unit distribution rate.

Guarantor Summarized Financial Information

NGL Energy Partners LP (parent) and NGL Energy Finance Corp. are co-issuers of the Senior Unsecured Notes (see Note 8 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report). Certain of our wholly owned subsidiaries (“Guarantor Subsidiaries”) have, jointly and severally, fully and unconditionally guaranteed the Senior Unsecured Notes.


54



The guarantees are senior unsecured obligations of each Guarantor Subsidiary and rank equally in right of payment with other existing and future senior indebtedness of such Guarantor Subsidiary, and senior in right of payment to all existing and future subordinated indebtedness of such Guarantor Subsidiary. The guarantee of our Senior Unsecured Notes by each Guarantor Subsidiary is subject to certain automatic customary releases, including in connection with the sale, disposition or transfer of all of the capital stock, or of all or substantially all of the assets, of such Guarantor Subsidiary to one or more persons that are not us or a restricted subsidiary, the exercise of legal defeasance or covenant defeasance options, the satisfaction and discharge of the indentures governing our Senior Unsecured Notes, the designation of such Guarantor Subsidiary as a non-guarantor restricted subsidiary or as an unrestricted subsidiary in accordance with the indentures governing our Senior Unsecured Notes, the release of such Guarantor Subsidiary from its guarantee under our Revolving Credit Facility, the liquidation or dissolution of such Guarantor Subsidiary or upon the consolidation, merger or transfer of all assets of the Guarantor Subsidiary to us or another Guarantor Subsidiary in which the Guarantor Subsidiary dissolves or ceases to exist (collectively, the “Releases”). The obligations of each Guarantor Subsidiary under its note guarantee are limited as necessary to prevent such note guarantee from constituting a fraudulent conveyance under applicable law. We are not restricted from making investments in the Guarantor Subsidiaries and there are no significant restrictions on the ability of the Guarantor Subsidiaries to make distributions to NGL Energy Partners LP (parent). None of the assets of the Guarantor Subsidiaries (other than the investments in non-guarantor subsidiaries) are restricted net assets pursuant to Rule 4-08(e)(3) of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

The rights of holders of our Senior Unsecured Notes against the Guarantor Subsidiaries may be limited under the U.S. Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law.

The following is the summarized financial information for NGL Energy Partners LP (parent) and the Guarantor Subsidiaries on a combined basis after elimination of intercompany transactions, which includes related receivable and payable balances, and the investment in and equity earnings from the non-guarantor subsidiaries.

Contractual Obligations

For a discussion of contractual obligations, see Note 8, Note 9 and Note 15 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements other than the letters of credit discussed in Note 8 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report and the short-term leases discussed in Note 15 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report.

Environmental Legislation

See our Annual Report for a discussion of proposed environmental legislation and regulations that, if enacted, could result in increased compliance and operating costs. However, at this time we cannot predict the structure or outcome of any future legislation or regulations or the eventual cost we could incur in compliance.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

For a discussion of recent accounting pronouncements that are applicable to us, see Note 2 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with GAAP requires the selection and application of appropriate accounting principles to the relevant facts and circumstances of our operations and the use of estimates made by management. We have identified certain accounting policies that are most important to the portrayal of our consolidated financial position and results of operations. The application of these accounting policies, which requires subjective or complex judgments regarding estimates and projected outcomes of future events, and changes in these accounting policies, could have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements. There have been no material changes in the critical accounting policies previously disclosed in our Annual Report.

 
Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Interest Rate Risk

A significant portion of our long-term debt is variable-rate debt. Changes in interest rates impact the interest payments of our variable-rate debt but generally do not impact the fair value of the liability. Conversely, changes in interest rates impact the fair value of our fixed-rate debt but do not impact its cash flows.

The Revolving Credit Facility is variable-rate debt with interest rates that are generally indexed to bank prime or LIBOR interest rates. At June 30, 2020, we had $1.7 billion of outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility at a

56



weighted average interest rate of 2.74%. A change in interest rates of 0.125% would result in an increase or decrease of our annual interest expense of $2.1 million, based on borrowings outstanding at June 30, 2020.

The Term Credit Agreement is variable-rate debt with interest rates that are generally indexed to LIBOR interest rates. At June 30, 2020, we had $250.0 million of outstanding borrowings under the Term Credit Agreement at an interest rate of 9.50%. As interest under this agreement bears interest at LIBOR, subject to a 1.50% floor, a change in LIBOR rates of 0.125% would not result in an increase or decrease of our annual interest expense, based on borrowings outstanding at June 30, 2020.

Commodity Price and Credit Risk

Our operations are subject to certain business risks, including commodity price risk and credit risk. Commodity price risk is the risk that the market value of crude oil, natural gas liquids, or refined and renewables products will change, either favorably or unfavorably, in response to changing market conditions. Credit risk is the risk of loss from nonperformance by suppliers, customers or financial counterparties to a contract.

Procedures and limits for managing commodity price risks and credit risks are specified in our market risk policy and credit policy, respectively. Open commodity positions and market price changes are monitored daily and are reported to senior management and to marketing operations personnel. Credit risk is monitored daily and exposure is minimized through customer deposits, restrictions on product liftings, letters of credit, and entering into master netting agreements that allow for offsetting counterparty receivable and payable balances for certain transactions. At June 30, 2020, our primary counterparties were retailers, resellers, energy marketers, producers, refiners, and dealers.

The crude oil, natural gas liquids, and refined and renewables products industries are “margin-based” and “cost-plus” businesses in which gross profits depend on the differential of sales prices over supply costs. We have no control over market conditions. As a result, our profitability may be impacted by sudden and significant changes in the price of crude oil, natural gas liquids, and refined and renewables products.

We engage in various types of forward contracts and financial derivative transactions to reduce the effect of price volatility on our product costs, to protect the value of our inventory positions, and to help ensure the availability of product during periods of short supply. We attempt to balance our contractual portfolio by purchasing volumes when we have a matching purchase commitment from our wholesale and retail customers. We may experience net unbalanced positions from time to time. In addition to our ongoing policy to maintain a balanced position, for accounting purposes we are required, on an ongoing basis, to track and report the market value of our derivative portfolio.

Although we use financial derivative instruments to reduce the market price risk associated with forecasted transactions, we do not account for financial derivative transactions as hedges. All changes in the fair value of our physical contracts that do not qualify as normal purchases and normal sales and settlements (whether cash transactions or non-cash mark-to-market adjustments) are reported either within revenue (for sales contracts) or cost of sales (for purchase contracts) in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations, regardless of whether the contract is physically or financially settled.

The following table summarizes the hypothetical impact on the June 30, 2020 fair value of our commodity derivatives of an increase of 10% in the value of the underlying commodity (in thousands):

Changes in commodity prices may also impact the volumes that we are able to transport, dispose, store and market, which also impact our cash flows.

Fair Value

We use observable market values for determining the fair value of our derivative instruments. In cases where actively quoted prices are not available, other external sources are used which incorporate information about commodity prices in actively quoted markets, quoted prices in less active markets and other market fundamental analysis.

Item 4.
Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13(a)-15(e) and 15(d)-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our filings and submissions under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer of our general partner, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

We completed an evaluation under the supervision and with participation of our management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer of our general partner, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures at June 30, 2020. Based on this evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer of our general partner have concluded that as of June 30, 2020, such disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide the reasonable assurance described above.

There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13(a)-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the three months ended June 30, 2020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

THIRD SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE, dated as of June 30, 2020 (this “Supplemental Indenture”), among NGL Energy Partners LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Company”), NGL Energy Finance Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Finance Corp.,” and, together with the Company, the “Issuers”), each of the Persons listed on Exhibit A to this Supplemental Indenture (each a “Guaranteeing Subsidiary” and collectively, the “Guaranteeing Subsidiaries”), the other Guarantors (as defined in the Indenture referred to below), and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee under the Indenture referred to below (the “Trustee”).
W I T N E S S E T H
WHEREAS, the Issuers and certain Subsidiaries of the Company have heretofore executed and delivered to the Trustee an indenture, dated as of April 9, 2019 (the “Indenture”), providing for the issuance by the Issuers of 6.125% Senior Notes due 2026 (the “Notes”);
WHEREAS, the Issuers and certain Subsidiaries of the Company have heretofore executed and delivered to the Trustee the First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of October 31, 2019 (the “First Supplemental Indenture”), pursuant to which certain Subsidiaries of the Company became Guarantors;
WHEREAS, the Issuers and certain Subsidiaries of the Company have heretofore executed and delivered to the Trustee the Second Supplemental Indenture, dated as of December 27, 2019 (the “Second Supplemental Indenture”), pursuant to which certain Subsidiaries of the Company became Guarantors;
WHEREAS, the Original Indenture as amended and supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture and the Second Supplemental Indenture is referred to herein as the “Indenture”;
WHEREAS, the Indenture provides that under certain circumstances, each Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture pursuant to which such Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall unconditionally guarantee all of the Issuers’ Obligations under the Notes and the Indenture on the terms and conditions set forth herein (the “Note Guarantee”); and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Indenture, the Trustee is authorized to execute and deliver this Supplemental Indenture.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, each Guaranteeing Subsidiary and the Trustee mutually covenant and agree for the equal and ratable benefit of the Holders of the Notes as follows:

1.
CAPITALIZED TERMS. Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

2.
AGREEMENT TO GUARANTEE. Each Guaranteeing Subsidiary hereby agrees to provide an unconditional Guarantee on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Note Guarantee and in the Indenture including but not limited to Article 10 thereof.

3.
EXECUTION AND DELIVERY. Each Guaranteeing Subsidiary agrees that the Note Guarantees shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Note a notation of such Note Guarantee.

4.
NO RECOURSE AGAINST OTHERS. No past, present or future director, officer, partner, employee, incorporator, organizer, manager, unitholder or other owner of Capital Stock (as defined in the Indenture) of a Guaranteeing Subsidiary or agent thereof, as such, shall have any liability for any obligations of the Issuers, the Guarantors, or such Guaranteeing Subsidiary or any other Subsidiary of an Issuer providing a Note Guarantee under the Notes, any Note Guarantees, the Indenture or this Supplemental Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder of the Notes by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes. Such waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities laws and it is the view of the SEC that such a waiver is against public policy.





5.
NEW YORK LAW TO GOVERN. THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SHALL GOVERN AND BE USED TO CONSTRUE THIS SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE.

6.
COUNTERPARTS. The parties may sign any number of copies of this Supplemental Indenture. Each signed copy shall be an original, but all of them together represent the same agreement. The exchange of signed copies of this Supplemental Indenture by facsimile transmission or emailed portable document format (pdf) shall constitute effective execution and delivery of this Supplemental Indenture as to the parties hereto and such copies may be used in lieu of the original Supplemental Indenture for all purposes. Signatures of the parties hereto transmitted by facsimile or portable document format (pdf) shall be deemed to be their original signatures for all purposes other than authentication of Notes by the Trustee.

7.
EFFECT OF HEADINGS. The Section headings herein are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.

8.
THE TRUSTEE. The Trustee shall not be responsible in any manner whatsoever for or in respect of the validity or sufficiency of this Supplemental Indenture or for or in respect of the recitals contained herein, all of which recitals are made solely by each Guaranteeing Subsidiary and the Issuers.
