Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of World Point Terminals, LP
(Dollars in thousands, except per unit amounts)
(Unaudited)
1) | BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION |
Organization
World Point Terminals, LP (the “Partnership”) is a Delaware limited partnership that was formed on April 19, 2013 by World Point Terminals, Inc. (our “Parent”) and WPT GP, LLC (the “General Partner”). The Partnership, through its wholly owned subsidiary Center Point Terminal Company, LLC (“Center Point”), owns, operates, develops and acquires liquid bulk storage terminals and related assets primarily for the storage of petroleum based products, including light refined products, heavy refined products and crude oil. We operate fee-based facilities located along the East Coast, Gulf Coast and Midwest regions of the United States.
Basis of Presentation
These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared under the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial statements. Accordingly, these financial statements do not include all of the disclosures required by GAAP and should be read along with the Partnership’s 2015 audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015. The Partnership’s financial statements as of September 30, 2016, and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, are unaudited and have been prepared on the same basis as the annual consolidated financial statements. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the preparation of the accompanying financial statements.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
In management’s opinion, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments consisting of normal recurring accruals necessary for the fair presentation of the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015. Information for interim periods may not be indicative of the Partnership’s operating results for the entire year.
2) | EARNINGS PER UNIT AND CASH DISTRIBUTIONS |
Earnings per unit applicable to limited partners (including subordinated unitholders) is computed by dividing limited partners’ interest in net income, after deducting amounts due pursuant to Incentive Distribution Rights (“IDRs”) by the weighted-average number of outstanding common and subordinated units. Our net income is allocated to the limited partners in accordance with their respective ownership interests, after giving effect to priority income allocations, including incentive distributions, if any, to the holders of IDRs, pursuant to our partnership agreement. Earnings in excess of distributions are allocated to the limited partners based on their respective ownership interests. Payments made to our unitholders are determined in relation to actual distributions declared and are not based on the net income allocations used in the calculation of earnings per unit. The weighted-average number of units outstanding was as follows:
Three Months Ended September 30, 2016 | Nine Months Ended September 30, 2016 | |||||||
Common Units | 18,375,507 | 18,375,507 | ||||||
Subordinated Units | 16,485,507 | 16,485,507 |
7 |
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of World Point Terminals, LP
(Dollars in thousands, except per unit amounts)
(Unaudited)
The end of the subordination period will occur upon payment of the third-quarter 2016 distribution on November 14, 2016, at which time, each outstanding subordinated unit will convert into one common unit and will thereafter participate on terms equal to all other common units in distributions of available cash.
In addition to the common and subordinated units, we have also identified the IDRs as participating securities and use the two-class method when calculating the earnings per unit applicable to limited partners, which is based on the weighted-average number of common and subordinated units outstanding during the period. Basic and diluted earnings per unit applicable to limited partners are the same because we do not have any potentially dilutive units outstanding.
The calculation of earnings per unit is as follows:

Cash Distributions
Our partnership agreement generally provides that we will make our distributions, if any, each quarter in the following manner:
· | first, to all unitholders, pro rata, until each unitholder receives a total of $0.345 per unit for that quarter (the “first target distribution”); |
· | second, 85.0% to all unitholders, pro rata, and 15.0% to the holders of the IDRs, pro rata, until each unitholder receives a total of $0.375 per unit for that quarter (the “second target distribution”); |
· | third, 75.0% to all unitholders, pro rata, and 25.0% to the holders of the IDRs, pro rata, until each unitholder receives a total of $0.45 per unit for that quarter (the “third target distribution”); and |
· | thereafter, 50.0% to all unitholders, pro rata, and 50.0% to the holders of the IDRs, pro rata. |
In each case, the amount of the target distribution set forth above is exclusive of any distributions to common unitholders to eliminate any cumulative arrearages in payment of the minimum quarterly distribution. The percentage interests set forth above assume that we do not issue additional classes of equity securities.

3) | FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS |
The Partnership’s financial assets and liabilities consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, short-term investments, accounts payable and accrued liabilities.
The Partnership has exposure to counterparty credit risk, liquidity risk, interest rate risk, and other price risk with its financial assets and liabilities. The Partnership’s risk management program seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on the Partnership’s financial performance and ultimately shareholder value. The Partnership manages its risks and risk exposures through a combination of sound business practices, derivative instruments and a system of internal controls.
Credit Risk — Credit risk arises from cash held with banks, credit exposure to customers (including outstanding accounts receivable), and counterparty risk associated with certain of the Partnership’s short-term investments.
Cash and cash equivalents consist of bank balances. Credit risk associated with cash is minimized by ensuring that these financial assets are held at high quality financial institutions.
Accounts receivable consists primarily of trade accounts receivable from storage related revenues. The Partnership’s credit risk arises from the possibility that a counterparty which owes the Partnership money is unable or unwilling to meet its obligations in accordance with the terms and conditions of the contracts with the Partnership, which would result in a financial loss for the Partnership. Credit risk associated with accounts receivable is minimized by the business model and collection policies of the Partnership. Most of the Partnership’s customers prepay their obligations at the beginning of each month and/or the Partnership has custody of customer assets at its facilities. The assets held by the Partnership belonging to its customers generally carry a market value well in excess of the accounts receivable balances due. The Partnership conducts business with a relatively few number of customers, including one affiliated customer that comprised approximately 40% and 38% of the Partnership’s first nine months 2016 and 2015 revenues, respectively, and another customer that comprised approximately 11% and 12% of the Partnership’s first nine months 2016 and 2015 revenues, respectively, under both short-term and long-term contracts. A large portion of the Partnership’s annual expenses are fixed and, accordingly, the Partnership’s ability to meet its ongoing obligations is dependent upon its ability to retain existing customers and/or attract new ones.

(Dollars in thousands, except per unit amounts)
(Unaudited)
The carrying amounts of accounts receivable are reduced through the use of an allowance for doubtful accounts and the amount of the loss is recognized in the consolidated statements of income. The allowance for doubtful accounts is determined by specific customer balance analysis. When a receivable balance is considered uncollectable, it is written off against the allowance for accounts receivable. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off reduce expenses in the consolidated statements of income. Historically trade credit losses have been minimal.
The Partnership has equity investments in marketable securities, including common stocks, exchange-traded-debt, foreign equities and preferred stocks. The Partnership seeks to mitigate risk of a financial loss by investing in what it considers to be high-quality instruments with quality counterparties.
4) | FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS |
The Partnership adopted the amendments to Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, for the consolidated financial statements. The amendments require the use of a fair value hierarchy in order to classify the fair value disclosures related to the Partnership’s financial assets and financial liabilities that are recognized in the balance sheets at fair value.
The fair value hierarchy has the following levels:
Level 1 — Values based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 — Values based on quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, or model based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market.
Level 3 — Values are generated from model based techniques that use significant assumptions not observable in the market. Valuation techniques could include use of option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques. The Partnership does not currently have any instruments with fair value determined using Level 3 inputs.
The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety is determined on the basis of the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

For assets and liabilities that are measured using quoted prices in active markets, the total fair value is the published market price per unit multiplied by the number of units held without consideration of transaction costs. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument:
Cash Equivalents — The carrying value of cash equivalents represents fair value as it is based on active market quotes available for these assets and is classified as Level 1.
Short-Term Investments— The short-term investments consist of investments in listed common stocks, exchange-traded-debt securities, foreign equities and preferred stocks. The securities are valued using quoted prices from the various public markets. The securities trade on public exchanges, both domestic and foreign, and can be accurately described as active markets. The observable valuation inputs are unadjusted quoted prices that represent active market trades and are classified as Level 1.
Long-Term Incentive Plan Liability – The long-term incentive plan liability is the estimated value of unit appreciation rights granted to our employees, as calculated by the Black-Scholes model. The liability is valued using significant assumptions that are observable in the market including an expected risk-free rate, distribution yield, volatility rate, and life to maturity. The liability is classified as Level 2.

On January 1, 2015, the Partnership acquired a terminal facility in Greensboro, North Carolina which has a total shell capacity of 684,000 barrels for the storage of gasoline, distillate, ethanol and jet fuel. The terminal is served by truck and connection to the Colonial Pipeline. The Partnership entered into a contribution agreement with Apex Oil Company, Inc. and one of its subsidiaries, whereby the Partnership issued 1,550,000 common units to Apex in exchange for the terminal. Based on the closing price of the Partnership’s common units on December 31, 2014, the value of the units issued represented approximately $31,186 in total consideration. The acquisition of the Greensboro terminal qualifies as a business under the Business Combinations topic of the ASC. The allocation of the contribution consideration to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transaction were recorded at their estimated acquisition date fair values, while transaction costs associated with the acquisition were expensed as incurred, other than $48 in closing costs which were recorded as property, plant and equipment.
The Partnership has allocated the contribution consideration to the assets acquired as follows:

10) | DEBT |
On August 14, 2013, Center Point entered into a $200,000 senior secured revolving credit facility with The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Ltd., as administrative agent, and a syndicate of lenders (the “Credit Facility”), which has an initial maturity date of August 14, 2018. The Credit Facility is available, subject to certain conditions, for working capital, capital expenditures, permitted acquisitions and general partnership purposes, including distributions and unit repurchases. In addition, the Credit Facility includes a sublimit of up to $20,000 for swing line loans and permits the Partnership to enter into a pari passu credit facility for the provision of letters of credit in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $20,000 at any time. The Credit Facility also includes an accordion feature permitting increases in the commitments under the Credit Facility by an aggregate amount up to $100,000. Substantially all of the Partnership’s assets are pledged as collateral under the Credit Facility, and the Partnership and its other subsidiaries entered into guarantees of payment on behalf of Center Point for amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility.
Center Point incurred costs of $910 associated with the Credit Facility which will be amortized over the five-year term of the facility. Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest at LIBOR plus an applicable margin. The terms of the Credit Facility contain certain covenants and conditions including an interest coverage ratio and a total leverage ratio. Center Point was in compliance with such covenants as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015. In addition to interest associated with the borrowings, Center Point is obligated to pay a commitment fee calculated on the balance of the unused portion of the Credit Facility. There have not been any borrowings on the credit facility. As of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, Center Point had future estimated minimum loan commitment fees of $1,137 and $1,593, respectively. Center Point incurred commitment fees, which have been recorded as interest expense, for the periods indicated as follows:

11) | ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATIONS |
The Partnership has recorded a liability for the estimated costs of removing its terminal assets from those terminals located on leased land where the landowners have the right to require the Partnership to remove the assets. The recorded liability was $686 and $658 at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively, which represents the present value of the estimated costs of removal. The maximum undiscounted liability is estimated to be $10,135. This amount was discounted utilizing the Partnership’s estimated, credit adjusted risk-free rate and further adjusted by probability factors based on management’s assessment of the likelihood of being required to demolish certain assets. Should the landowners exercise their rights to require the Partnership to remove the terminal assets, the cash outflows required to settle these obligations will occur on or around lease expiration dates ranging from July 13, 2034 to February 1, 2061.
12) | SEGMENT REPORTING |
The Partnership derives revenues from operating its eighteen liquid bulk storage and terminal facilities. The eighteen operating segments have been aggregated into one reportable segment because the facilities have similar long-term economic characteristics, products and types of customers.
13) | EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS |
The Partnership offers a defined contribution savings plan. Under this plan, the Partnership matches the amount of employee contributions to specified limits. The Partnership’s employee benefit plan related expenses for the periods indicated were:

17) | CONTINGENCIES |
The Partnership is subject to extensive environmental laws and regulations in the jurisdictions in which it operates. Additionally, the Partnership has contingent liabilities with respect to other lawsuits and other potential matters arising in the ordinary course of business. In management’s opinion, the ultimate outcome of these contingencies will not have a material impact on the results of operations, cash flows or financial condition of the Partnership. As a result, the Partnership has not accrued for any loss contingencies in 2016 and 2015.
18) | EQUITY-BASED COMPENSATION |
The Partnership has a Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “LTIP”) for providing long-term incentives to our employees, directors and consultants who provide services to us. The plan is administered by the board of directors of our General Partner (the “Board of Directors”). The Board of Directors has authority to: (i) designate participants; (ii) determine types of awards; (iii) determine number of units covered by the award; (iv) determine terms and conditions of awards; (v) determine how and when awards might be settled; and (vi) interpret and administer the plan and take other such actions as might be necessary for the proper administration of the plan. The LTIP provides for the issuance of an aggregate of up to 3,000,000 Common Units to be granted either as options, restricted units, phantom units, distribution equivalent rights, unit appreciation rights (“UARs”), unit awards, profits interest units or other unit-based award granted under the plan. As of September 30, 2016, we have granted awards totaling 340,000 restricted units and 25,000 UARs.
The restricted units vest over three years subject to customary forfeiture provisions. Restricted units are included in the number of common units outstanding as presented on our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and are entitled to cash distributions, which are nonforfeitable, on the same basis as the Common Units. The Partnership recorded non-cash compensation expense related to the restricted units as follows:

The UARs vest over five years subject to customary forfeiture provisions, and are not included in the number of common units outstanding as presented on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets or entitled to cash distributions. Non-cash compensation expense related to the UARs has been estimated using the Black-Scholes model. Because the UARs may be settled in units or cash at the option of the participant, they have been recorded utilizing the liability method. Non-cash compensation expense relating to the UARs was ($1) for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and $1 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The exercise price of the UARs is the fair market value of a unit on the grant date.
The following table summarizes awards granted pursuant to the LTIP through September 30, 2016. There were no forfeitures through September 30, 2016.

Overview of Business
We are a fee-based, growth-oriented Delaware limited partnership formed to own, operate, develop and acquire terminals and other assets relating to the storage of light refined products, heavy refined products and crude oil. Our storage terminals are strategically located in the East Coast, Gulf Coast and Midwest regions of the United States and, as of September 30, 2016, had a combined available storage capacity of 15.6 million barrels. On January 1, 2015, we acquired a terminal in Greensboro, North Carolina (0.7 million barrels), increasing our storage capacity 5%. On September 14, 2015, we acquired a terminal in Salisbury, Maryland (0.2 million barrels), increasing our storage capacity an additional 1%. On August 14, 2016 we placed two newly constructed tanks (0.2 million barrels) into service, increasing our storage capacity an additional 1%. Most of our terminal facilities are strategically located on major waterways, providing ship or barge access for the movement of petroleum products, and have truck racks with efficient loading logistics. Several of our terminal facilities also have rail or pipeline access.
The following discussion analyzes our financial condition and results of operations and should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, as well as historical condensed consolidated financial statements and notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.
Recent Developments
CPT 2010, LLC, a subsidiary of World Point Terminals, Inc. (our “Parent”) owns our 16,485,007 subordinated units. The end of the subordination period will occur upon payment of the third-quarter 2016 distribution on November 14, 2016, at which time, each outstanding subordinated unit will convert into one common unit and will thereafter participate on terms equal to all other common units in distributions of available cash.
We recently completed construction of two tanks totaling 178,000 barrels of capacity at our North Little Rock terminal and placed the tanks in service during the third quarter of 2016. All of the operational tank capacity is under contract with Apex Oil Company, Inc. (“Apex”) through at least August 14, 2017.
On September 14, 2015, we acquired a terminal in Salisbury, Maryland with a storage capacity of 177,000 barrels for the storage of gasoline, ultra-low-sulfur-diesel, heating oil and ethanol. The terminal was purchased for $1.0 million and is served by truck and barge. Approximately 83% of the terminal capacity is under contract with Apex through at least September 30, 2018.
On January 1, 2015, we acquired a terminal in Greensboro, North Carolina with a storage capacity of 684,000 barrels for the storage of gasoline, distillate, biodiesel and jet fuel. The terminal is served by truck and the Colonial Pipeline. We entered into a contribution agreement with Apex and one of its subsidiaries whereby we issued 1,550,000 common units to Apex in exchange for the terminal. Based on the closing price of our common units on December 31, 2014, the value of the units issued represented approximately $31.2 million in total consideration.
How We Generate Revenues
We operate in a single reportable segment consisting primarily of the fee-based storage and terminaling services we perform under contracts with our customers. We generally do not take title to the products we store or handle on behalf of our customers. For each of the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, we generated approximately 84% and 83%, respectively, of our revenue from storage services fees. Of our revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, approximately 83% and 82%, respectively, consisted of base storage services fees, which are fixed monthly fees paid at the beginning of each month to reserve dedicated tanks or storage space and to compensate us for handling up to a base amount of product volume at our terminals. Our customers are required to pay these base storage services fees to us regardless of the actual storage capacity they use or the volume of products that we receive. Our customers also pay us excess storage fees for volumes handled in excess of the amount attributable to their base storage services fees. The remainder of our revenues were generated from (1) ancillary fees for services such as heating, mixing and blending products, transferring products between tanks, railcar loading and dock operations and (2) fees for injecting additives, some of which are mandated by federal, state and local regulations.
20 |
Refiners typically use our terminals because they prefer to subcontract terminaling and storage services or their facilities do not have adequate storage capacity, dock infrastructure or do not meet specialized handling requirements for a particular product. We also provide storage services to distributors, marketers and traders that require access to large, strategically located storage capacity in close proximity to demand markets, export markets, transportation infrastructure and refineries. Our combination of geographic location, efficient and well maintained storage assets and access to multiple modes of transportation gives us the flexibility to meet the evolving demands of our existing customers, as well as the demands of prospective customers seeking terminaling and storage services throughout our areas of operation.
As of September 30, 2016, approximately 90% of our total available storage capacity was under contract. During the five years ended December 31, 2015, more than 91% of our available storage capacity has been under contract, on average. While many of our contracts provide for a termination right after the expiration of the initial contract period, our long-standing relationships with our customers, including major integrated oil companies, have provided stable revenue. Our top ten customers including Apex, which represent approximately 81% of our revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, have used our services for an average of more than ten years.
Factors That Impact Our Business
The revenues generated by our storage business are generally driven by our aggregate storage capacity under contract, the commercial utilization of our terminal facilities in relation to their capacity and the prices we receive for our services, which in turn are driven by the demand for the products being shipped through or stored in our facilities. Though substantially all of our terminal service agreements require a customer to pay for tank capacity regardless of use, our revenues can be affected by (1) the length of the underlying service contracts and pricing changes and shifts in the products handled when the underlying storage capacity is recontracted, (2) fluctuations in product volumes to the extent revenues under the contracts are a function of the amount of product stored or transported, (3) changes in demand for additive services, (4) inflation adjustments in storage services contracts and (5) changes in the demand for ancillary services such as product heating, mixing or blending, transferring our customers’ products between our tanks, railcar loading and dock operations.
We believe key factors that influence our business are (1) the long-term demand for and supply of refined products and crude oil, (2) the indirect impact that changes in refined product and crude oil pricing has on terminal and storage demand and supply, (3) the needs of our customers together with the competitiveness of our service offerings with respect to location, price, reliability and flexibility and (4) our ability and the ability of our competitors to capitalize on growth opportunities and changing market dynamics.
Supply and Demand for Refined Products and Crude Oil
Our results of operations are dependent upon the volumes of refined products and crude oil we have contracted to handle and store and, to a lesser extent, on the actual volumes of refined products and crude oil we handle and store for our customers. An important factor in such contracting is the amount of production and demand for refined products and crude oil. The production of and demand for refined products and crude oil are driven by many factors, including the price for crude oil and general economic conditions. To the extent practicable and economically feasible, we generally attempt to mitigate the risk of reduced volumes and pricing by negotiating contracts with minimum payments based on available capacity and with multi-year terms. However, an increase or decrease in the demand for refined products and crude oil in the areas served by our terminals will have a corresponding effect on (1) the volumes we actually terminal and store and (2) the volumes we contract to terminal and store if we are not able to extend or replace our existing customer contracts.
21 |
Refined Product and Crude Oil Prices
Because we generally do not own the refined products or crude oil that we handle and do not engage in the trading of refined products or crude oil, we have minimal direct exposure to risks associated with fluctuating commodity prices. In addition, extended periods of depressed or elevated refined product and crude oil prices can lead producers to increase or decrease production of refined products and crude oil, which can impact supply and demand dynamics.
Effective January 1, 2016 we entered into a profit-sharing agreement with Apex at one of our terminals. In addition to the base storage services fees, we receive a percentage of the profit Apex realizes on the stored product. The profit-sharing revenues received under this arrangement could be affected by changes in the commodity price as well as other market factors such as demand for the commodity. Profit-sharing revenues of $0.3 million and $0.5 million were generated during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2016, respectively.
If the future prices of refined products and crude oil are substantially higher than the then-current prices, also called market contango, our customers’ demand for excess storage generally increases. If the future prices of refined products and crude oil are lower than the then-current prices, also called market backwardation, our customers’ demand for excess storage capacity generally decreases. We seek to mitigate the impact of near-term commodity market price dynamics by generally entering into long-term agreements with our customers that have significant base storage services fee components. However, the market has experienced long periods of contango and backwardation that can impact the demand for and supply of refined product and crude oil terminaling and storage services.
Customers and Competition
We provide storage and terminaling services for a broad mix of customers, including major integrated oil companies, marketers, distributors and chemical and petrochemical companies. In general, the mix of services we provide to our customers varies depending on market conditions, expectations for future market conditions and the overall competitiveness of our service offerings. The terminaling and storage markets in which we operate are very competitive, and we compete with operators of other terminaling facilities on the basis of rates, terms of service, types of service, supply and market access and flexibility and reliability of service. In addition, we also compete with major integrated oil companies, many of whom are also our customers, that own terminals. We continuously monitor the competitive environment, the evolving needs of our customers, current and forecasted market conditions and the competitiveness of our service offerings in order to maintain the proper balance between optimizing near-term earnings and cash flow and positioning the business for sustainable long-term growth. Because of the significant investments we have made in maintaining high quality assets and because terminaling and storage are our core business, we believe that we can be more flexible and responsive to the needs of our customers than many of our competitors.
Organic Growth Opportunities
Regional refined products and crude oil supply and demand dynamics shift over time, which can lead to rapid and significant increases in demand for terminaling and storage services. At such times, we believe the terminaling companies that have positioned themselves for organic growth will be at a competitive advantage in capitalizing on the shifting market dynamics. Where feasible, we have designed the infrastructure at our terminals to facilitate future expansion, which we expect to both reduce our overall capital costs per additional barrel of storage capacity and shorten the duration and enhance the predictability of development timelines. Some of the specific infrastructure investments we have made that will facilitate incremental expansion include dock capacity capable of handling various products and easily expandable piping and manifolds to handle additional storage capacity. Our Galveston terminal has over fifty acres of available land that will allow us to greatly increase our storage capacity should market conditions warrant. Accordingly, we believe that we are well positioned to grow organically in response to changing market conditions.

We have recently completed construction of two tanks totaling 178,000 barrels of capacity at the North Little Rock terminal that were placed in service during the third quarter of 2016.
Factors Impacting the Comparability of Our Financial Results
Our future results of operations may not be comparable to our historical results of operations for the following reasons:
· | In June 2014 when we acquired the Chickasaw terminal all of the acquired tankage was not available for use. Some additional tankage has been made available for service and additional tankage is expected to be made available in future reporting periods. |
· | In June 2014 when we acquired the Blakeley Island terminal all of the acquired tankage was not available for use. The Blakeley Island terminal had no customers when it was acquired and had no revenue in 2014. Beginning in January 2015, a portion of the tankage was placed under contract and additional tankage is expected to be available for service in future reporting periods. |
· | We acquired the Salisbury terminal September 14, 2015, and did not have any customers until October 1, 2015, and therefore we received no revenue from that facility prior to the fourth quarter of 2015. |
· | We recently completed construction of two tanks with a total storage capacity of 178,000 barrels at our North Little Rock terminal. The tanks were placed in service on August 14, 2016, and therefore, we received no revenue from the tanks prior to the third quarter of 2016. |
Overview of Our Results of Operations
Our management uses a variety of financial measurements to analyze our performance, including the following key measures:
• | revenues derived from (i) storage services fees, including excess storage services fees, (ii) ancillary services and (iii) additive services; and |
• | our operating and selling, general and administrative expenses. |
We do not utilize depreciation and amortization expense in our key measures because we focus our performance management on cash flow generation and our assets have long useful lives. In our period to period comparisons of our revenues and expenses set forth below, we analyze the following revenue and expense components:
Revenues
We characterize our revenues into three different types, as follows:
Storage Services Fees. Our customers pay base storage services fees, which are fixed monthly fees paid at the beginning of each month to reserve storage capacity in our tanks and to compensate us for receiving up to a base product volume on their behalf. Our customers are required to pay these base storage services fees to us regardless of the actual storage capacity they use or the amount of product that we receive. Our customers also pay us additional fees when we handle product volume on their behalf that exceeds the volume contemplated in their monthly base storage services fee.
Ancillary Services Fees. We charge ancillary services fees to our customers for providing services such as (i) heating, mixing and blending our customers’ products that are stored in our tanks, (ii) transferring our customers’ products between our tanks, (iii) at our Granite City terminal, adding polymer to liquid asphalt, (iv) profit-sharing revenues at our St. Louis terminal and (v) railcar loading and dock operations. The revenues we generate from ancillary services fees vary based upon the activity levels of our customers.
23 |
Additive Services Fees. We generate revenue from fees for injecting generic gasoline, proprietary gasoline, lubricity, red dye and cold flow additives to our customers’ products. Certain of these additives are mandated by applicable federal, state and local regulations for all light refined products, and other additives, such as cold flow additive, are required to meet customer specifications. The revenues we generate from additive services fees vary based upon the activity levels of our customers.
Operating Expenses
Our operating expenses are comprised primarily of labor expenses, utility costs, insurance premiums, repairs and maintenance expenses, environmental compliance and property taxes. A large portion of these operating expenses are fixed, but can fluctuate from period to period depending on the mix of activities performed during that period and the timing of these expenses. We seek to manage our maintenance expenses by scheduling maintenance over time to avoid significant variability in our maintenance expenses and minimize their impact on our cash flow.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses include costs not directly attributable to the operations of our facilities and include costs such as professional services, compensation of non-operating personnel and expenses of the overall administration of the Partnership. We incur additional personnel and related costs and incremental external general and administrative expenses as a result of being a publicly traded partnership, including costs associated with SEC reporting requirements, tax return and Schedule K-1 preparation and distribution, registered independent auditor fees, investor relations activities, Sarbanes-Oxley Act compliance, stock exchange listing, registrar and transfer agent fees, incremental director and officer liability insurance and director compensation.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2016 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2015
Revenues. Revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2016 increased $2.7 million, or 12%, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2015.
Storage Services Fees. Storage services fees increased $1.8 million, or 9%, for the three months ended September 30, 2016 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2015.
· | Base storage services fees. Base storage services fees for the three months ended September 30, 2016 increased $1.6 million, or 9%, from the three months ended September 30, 2015 primarily as a result of the addition of new customer contracts at the Blakeley Island, Jacksonville and Galveston terminals, increased terminaling activity at the Glenmont terminal and the addition of the Salisbury terminal in the fourth quarter of 2015, partially offset by reduced base storage fees at the St. Louis terminal. |
· | Excess storage services fees. Excess storage services fees for the three months ended September 30, 2016 increased $0.2 million, or 135% compared to the three months ended September 30, 2015 primarily as a result of increased terminaling activity at the Jacksonville terminal. |
Ancillary and Additive Services Fees. Ancillary and additive services for the three months ended September 30, 2016 increased $0.9 million, or 28%, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2015 primarily as a result of increased railcar loading activity at the Chickasaw terminal, increased heating activity at the Baton Rouge terminal, increased ethanol blending activity at the Jacksonville terminal and profit-sharing revenue earned at the St. Louis terminal during 2016.
Operating Expenses. Total operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2016 increased $1.2 million, or 16%, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2015. This increase was primarily attributable to a (i) $0.7 million increase in other expense including environmental compliance costs of $0.5 million incurred at the Newark terminal that are expected to be reimbursed by insurance, less a deductible, (ii) $0.6 million increase in repairs and maintenance primarily due to periodic tank cleaning and repairs completed in the third quarter of 2016 and (iii) $0.1 million increase in utilities, offset by a (i) $0.1 million decrease in insurance expense and (ii) $0.1 million decrease in property taxes.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses, including reimbursements to affiliates, for the three months ended September 30, 2016 decreased 2% compared to the three months ended September 30, 2015 primarily as a result of $0.1 million in directors’ fees that were incurred later in the year in 2015 than in 2016, offset by a $0.1 million increase in personnel costs and professional fees.
26 |
Depreciation and Amortization Expense. Depreciation and amortization expense for the three months ended September 30, 2016 decreased $0.5 million, or 8%, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2015. This decrease is primarily due to terminal assets that became fully depreciated in December of 2015 and January of 2016 at the Baltimore and Newark terminals.
Interest Expense. Interest expense consists primarily of commitment fees paid to maintain the Credit Facility and amortization of associated costs over the term of the facility. Interest expense remained unchanged for the three months ended September 30, 2016 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2015.
Interest and Dividend Income. Interest and dividend income for the three months ended September 30, 2016 increased slightly compared to the three months ended September 30, 2015. This increase was attributable to higher amounts of short-term investments held during the third quarter of 2016.
Gain on Investments and Other—Net. Gain on investments for the three months ended September 30, 2016 decreased $0.1 million, or 84%, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2015. The decrease was primarily attributable to a small mark-to-market loss on investments recorded in the third quarter of 2016 as opposed to a $0.1 million gain during the third quarter of 2015.
Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2016 decreased $0.1 million compared with the three months ended September 30, 2015.
Net Income. Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2016 increased $1.8 million, or 26%, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2015.
Average Daily Terminal Throughput. Average daily terminal throughput for the three months ended September 30, 2016 increased 17 mbbls, or 10%, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2015 primarily as a result of increased throughput at the Jacksonville and Galveston terminals.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2016 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2015
Revenues. Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 increased $2.8 million, or 4%, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2015.
Storage Services Fees. Storage services fees increased $2.5 million, or 4%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2015.
· | Base storage services fees. Base storage services fees for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 increased $2.6 million, or 4%, from the nine months ended September 30, 2015 primarily as a result of additional tanks at the Blakeley Island terminal that were placed under contract during the first half of 2016, new customers at the Galveston terminal, increased terminaling activity at the Glenmont terminal, and the addition of the Salisbury terminal in the fourth quarter of 2015, partially offset by reduced base storage fees at the St. Louis terminal. |
· | Excess storage services fees. Excess storage services fees decreased $0.1 million, or 10%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2015. |
Ancillary and Additive Services Fees. Ancillary and additive services for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 increased $0.3 million, or 3%, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2015 primarily as a result of increased railcar loading activity at the Chickasaw terminal, increased heating activity at the Baton Rouge terminal, increased ethanol blending activity at the Jacksonville terminal and profit-sharing revenue earned at the St. Louis terminal, partially offset by reduced polymer processing activity at the Granite City terminal caused by a disruption in the Keystone Pipeline, reduced barge loading fees at the Newark terminal and reduced heating fees at the Pine Bluff terminal during 2016.
27 |
Operating Expenses. Total operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 increased $1.0 million, or 4%, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2015. This increase was primarily attributable to a (i) $0.9 million increase in environmental compliance costs incurred at the Newark terminal that are expected to be reimbursed by insurance, less a deductible, (ii) $0.2 million increase in repairs and maintenance primarily due to periodic tank cleaning and repairs, and (iii) $0.2 million increase in utility costs, offset by a $0.3 million decrease in insurance expense.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses, including reimbursements to affiliates, for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 increased $0.2 million, or 4%, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2015 as a result of a (i) $0.2 million increase in personnel and office expenses, (ii) $0.1 million increase in audit and tax preparation expenses and (iii) $0.1 million increase in public company expenses, offset by a $0.2 million decrease in insurance and professional fees.
Depreciation and Amortization Expense. Depreciation and amortization expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 decreased $1.1 million, or 6%, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2015. This decrease is primarily due to terminal assets that became fully depreciated in December of 2015 and January of 2016 at the Baltimore and Newark terminals.
Interest Expense. Interest expense consists primarily of commitment fees paid to maintain the Credit Facility and amortization of associated costs over the term of the facility. Interest expense increased slightly for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2015.
Interest and Dividend Income. Interest and dividend income for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 decreased $0.1 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2015. This decrease was attributable to lower amounts of short-term investments held during the first half of 2016.
Gain on Investments and Other—Net. Gain on investments for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 increased $0.1 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2015. The increase was primarily attributable to a mark-to-market gain on investments recorded at September 30, 2016 as opposed to a loss at September 30, 2015.
Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 increased slightly compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2015.
Net Income. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 increased $2.7 million, or 11%, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2015.
Average Daily Terminal Throughput. Average daily terminal throughput for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 decreased 20 mbbls, or 11%, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2015 primarily as a result of decreased throughput at the Galveston, Newark and Weirton terminals.
Non-GAAP Financial Measure. In addition to the GAAP results provided in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, we provide a non-GAAP financial measure, Adjusted EBITDA. A reconciliation from the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures to the non-GAAP measurement is provided below. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before net interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization expense and equity based compensation expense as further adjusted to remove gain or loss on investments and on the disposition of assets and non-recurring items.
28 |
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP supplemental financial measure that management and external users of our consolidated financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies, may use to assess:
· | our operating performance as compared to other publicly traded partnerships in the midstream energy industry, without regard to historical cost basis or financing methods; |
· | the ability of our assets to generate sufficient cash flow to make distributions to our unitholders; |
· | our ability to incur and service debt and fund capital expenditures; and | |
· | the viability of acquisitions and other capital expenditure projects and the returns on investment in various opportunities. |
We believe that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA will provide useful information to investors in assessing our financial condition and results of operations. The GAAP measures most directly comparable to Adjusted EBITDA are net income and net cash provided by operating activities. Our non-GAAP financial measure of Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to GAAP net income or net cash provided by operating activities. Adjusted EBITDA has important limitations as an analytical tool because it excludes some but not all items that affect net income. You should not consider Adjusted EBITDA in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Because Adjusted EBITDA may be defined differently by other companies in our industry, our definition of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing its utility.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity
Our principal liquidity requirements are to finance current operations, fund capital expenditures, including acquisitions from time to time, and to service our debt. Our sources of liquidity include cash generated by our operations, borrowings under our revolving credit facility and issuances of equity and debt securities. We believe that cash generated from these sources will be sufficient to meet our short-term working capital requirements and long-term capital expenditure requirements.
30 |
Revolving Credit Facility
On August 14, 2013, we entered into a $200 million senior secured revolving credit facility. The revolving credit facility is available to fund working capital and to finance acquisitions and other capital expenditures. Our obligations under the revolving credit facility are secured by a first priority lien on substantially all of our assets. Borrowings under our revolving credit facility bear interest at a rate equal to LIBOR plus an applicable margin. LIBOR and the applicable margin are defined in our revolving credit facility. The unused portion of the revolving credit facility is subject to an annual commitment fee.
The revolving credit facility contains covenants and conditions that, among other things, limit our ability to make cash distributions, incur indebtedness, create liens, make investments and enter into a merger or sale of substantially all of our assets. We are also subject to certain financial covenants, including a consolidated leverage ratio and an interest coverage ratio, and customary events of default under the revolving credit facility. We were in compliance with such covenants as of September 30, 2016.
Capital Expenditures
The terminaling and storage business is capital-intensive, requiring significant investment for the maintenance of existing assets and the acquisition or development of new systems and facilities. We categorize our capital expenditures as either:
• | maintenance capital expenditures, which are cash expenditures (including expenditures for the construction or development of new capital assets or the replacement, improvement or expansion of existing capital assets) made to maintain our long-term operating capacity or operating income; or |
• | expansion capital expenditures, which are cash expenditures incurred for acquisitions or capital improvements that we expect will increase our operating capacity or operating income over the long term. |
For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, our capital expenditures were $15.8 million. Our capital spending program is focused on expanding our existing terminals where sufficient demand exists for our services and maintaining our facilities. Capital expenditure plans are generally evaluated based on regulatory requirements, return on investment and estimated incremental cash flow. We develop annual capital spending plans based on historical trends for maintenance capital, plus identified projects for expansion, technology and revenue-generating capital. In addition to the annually recurring capital expenditures, potential acquisition opportunities are evaluated based on their anticipated return on invested capital, accretive impact to operating results, and strategic fit.
Our capital expenditures for the periods indicated were as follows:

2016 | 2015 | 2016 | 2015 | |||||||||||||

Maintenance capital expenditures | $ | 719 | $ | 1,570 | $ | 4,590 | $ | 5,398 | ||||||||

Total | $ | 4,309 | $ | 7,553 | $ | 15,831 | $ | 18,681 |
Of the $11.2 million of expansion capital expenditures during the first nine months of 2016, $1.1 million was used to modify terminal assets in order to have the ability to accept additional products from customers and $10.1 million was used to add additional capacity at our terminals, including $7.6 million used to bring additional tanks into service at the Chickasaw and Blakeley Island terminals and $2.5 million used to construct additional tanks at the North Little Rock terminal. During the quarter ended September 30, 2016, all capital expenditures were funded from operations.
31 |
We anticipate that maintenance capital expenditures will continue to be funded primarily with cash from operations. We expect that we will utilize external financing sources, including borrowings under our revolving credit facility and the issuance of debt and equity securities, in addition to cash from operations to fund some of our future expansion capital expenditures.
Cash Flows
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2016 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2015
Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, investing activities and financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 were as follows:
Nine Months Ended September 30, | ||||||||
2016 | 2015 | |||||||
(in thousands) | ||||||||
Net cash provided by operating activities | $ | 47,437 | $ | 47,011 | ||||

Net cash used in financing activities | $ | (31,375 | ) | $ | (31,374 | ) |
Cash Flows From Operating Activities. Net cash flows from operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 increased $0.4 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2015. The increase was primarily attributable to a (i) $2.7 million increase in net income, and (ii) $1.2 million distribution received from the CENEX joint venture, (iii) $0.7 million increase in the change in long-term deferred revenue and other liabilities, offset by a (i) $3.0 million decrease in cash generated from working capital, (ii) $1.0 million decrease in depreciation, and (iii) $0.2 million increase in unrealized gain on marketable securities and other non-cash income.
Cash Flows From Investing Activities. Net cash flows used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 decreased slightly compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2015. This decrease was primarily attributable to a (i) $1.8 million decrease in cash proceeds for the sale of short-term investments and (ii) $1.0 million increase in short-term investment purchases, offset by a $2.8 million decrease in capital expenditures.
Cash Flows From Financing Activities. Cash flows used in financing activities consist of distributions paid to our unitholders totaling $31.4 million for each of the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and September 30, 2015.

Future Trends and Outlook
We expect that certain trends and economic or industry-wide factors will continue to affect our business, both in the short and long term. We have based our expectations described below on assumptions made by us and on the basis of information currently available to us. To the extent our underlying assumptions about or interpretation of available information prove to be incorrect, our actual results may vary materially from our expected results. Please read “Risk Factors” for additional information about the risks associated with our business and our common units.
Existing Base Storage Contracts
Some of our terminal services agreements currently in effect are operating in the automatic renewal phase of the contract that begins upon the expiration of the primary contract term. While a significant portion of our tankage may only be subject to a one year commitment, historically these customers have continued to renew or expand their business. Our top ten customers have used our services for an average of more than ten years.
During 2015, some customers did not renew their contracts. As a result, approximately 580,000 barrels of tankage was placed under “spot” (month-to-month) contracts during the first quarter of 2015, and 739,000 barrels were unutilized as of September 30, 2015, at the Galveston terminal. During the second quarter of 2016, some spot contracts were terminated. As of September 30, 2016, 159,000 barrels of tankage remain under spot contracts, and 470,000 barrels of tankage are unutilized at the Galveston terminal. There is no certainty that we will be able to keep the remaining tanks under contract throughout 2016. In addition, there is no certainty that contracts expiring in 2016 will be extended or that any extension or recontracting will result in the same level of revenue to the Partnership.
The following table details the base storage services fees expected to be generated over the next five years ending December 31, 2020 based on remaining contract terms at September 30, 2016 excluding any consumer price index adjustments.

Supply of Storage Capacity
An important factor in determining the value of storage capacity and therefore the rates we are able to charge for new contracts or contract renewals is whether a surplus or shortfall of storage capacity exists relative to the overall demand for storage services in a given market area. We monitor local developments around each of our facilities closely. We believe that significant barriers to entry exist in the refined product and crude oil terminaling and storage business. These barriers include significant costs and execution risk, a lengthy permitting and development cycle, shortage of personnel with the requisite expertise and the finite number of sites that are suitable for development.
Entry of Competitors into the Markets in Which We Operate
The competitiveness of our service offerings could be significantly impacted by the entry of new competitors into the markets in which our terminals operate. We believe that significant barriers to entry exist in the refined products and crude oil terminaling and storage business, particularly for marine terminals. These barriers include significant costs and execution risk, a lengthy permitting and development cycle, such as environmental permitting, financing challenges, shortage of personnel with the requisite expertise and the finite number of sites with comparable connectivity suitable for development. Despite these barriers, there has been significant new construction of residual fuel storage facilities along the Gulf Coast in recent years, which we believe may account for the reduced demand for long-term storage at the Galveston terminal.
Economic Conditions
The condition of credit markets may adversely affect our liquidity. In the recent past, world financial markets experienced a severe reduction in the availability of credit. Although we were not substantially impacted by this situation because of the long-term nature of our customer contracts, possible negative impacts in the future could include a decrease in the availability of credit. In addition, we could experience a tightening of trade credit from our suppliers and our customers’ businesses may be affected by their access to credit.
Growth Opportunities
We expect to expand the storage capacity at our current terminal facilities over the near and medium term. In addition, we will selectively pursue strategic asset acquisitions from Apex and third parties that complement our existing asset base or provide attractive potential returns in new areas within our geographic footprint. Our long-term strategy includes operating fee-based, qualifying income producing infrastructure assets throughout North America. Recent evidence of this strategy includes the January 2015 acquisition of the Greensboro, North Carolina terminal from Apex, as well as the September 2015 acquisition of the Salisbury, Maryland terminal and the construction of additional tanks at our North Little Rock terminal, which were placed in service in August 2016. We believe that we will be well positioned to acquire assets from third parties should such opportunities arise, and identifying and executing acquisitions will be a key part of our strategy. However, if we do not make acquisitions on economically acceptable terms, our future growth will be limited, and it is possible that any acquisitions we do make will reduce, rather than increase, our cash available for distribution per unit.
Demand for Refined Products and Crude Oil
In the near term, we expect demand for refined products and crude oil to remain stable. Even if demand for refined products and crude oil decreases sharply, however, our historical experience during recessionary periods has been that our results of operations are not materially impacted in the near term. We believe this is because of several factors, including: (i) we mitigate the risk of reduced volumes and pricing by negotiating contracts with minimum payments based on available capacity and with multi-year terms; as more of our contracts convert to annual agreements, some of that mitigation is lost, and (ii) sharp decreases in demand for refined products and crude oil generally increase the short and medium-term need for storage of those products, as customers search for buyers at appropriate prices. While the recent decline in the prices of crude oil and petroleum prices may affect demand for those products and related demand for storage capacity, we believe it is too soon to draw any conclusions as to what effect there may be on our business.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Other than the unrecorded contractual obligations noted above, we do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
As of September 30, 2016, there have been no significant changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates disclosed in the Partnership’s 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices. We do not take title to the crude oil, refined petroleum products and other products we handle and store, and therefore, we do not have direct exposure to risks associated with fluctuating commodity prices. In addition, our terminal services agreements with our storage customers are generally indexed to inflation and may contain fuel surcharge provisions designed to substantially mitigate our exposure to increases in fuel prices and the cost of other supplies used in our business.
At September 30, 2016, we did not have any borrowing under our revolving credit facility, which carries a variable rate. We may use certain derivative instruments to hedge our exposure to variable interest rates in the future, but we do not currently have in place any risk management contracts.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of management of our general partner, including the general partner’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, an evaluation of the Partnership’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), was conducted as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, management of our general partner concluded that the Partnership’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the period covered by this report were effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our last fiscal quarter that materially affected, or were reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II
OTHER INFORMATION
We are not a party to, nor is any of our property subject to, any material pending legal proceedings, other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to our business. However, from time to time, we may be a party to, or a target of, lawsuits, claims, investigations, and proceedings, including product liability, personal injury, asbestos, patent and intellectual property, commercial, contract, environmental, antitrust, health and safety, and employment matters, which we expect to be handled and defended in the ordinary course of business. While we are unable to predict the outcome of any matters currently pending, we do not believe that the ultimate resolution of any such pending matters will have a material adverse effect on our overall financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
35 |
In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the risks set forth in Part 1, Item, 1A, “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015. There has been no material change in our risk factors from those described in the Annual Report. These risks are not the only risks that we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | ||||
Business Description and Basis of Presentation [Text Block] |
Organization World Point Terminals, LP (the “Partnership”) is a Delaware limited partnership that was formed on April 19, 2013 by World Point Terminals, Inc. (our “Parent”) and WPT GP, LLC (the “General Partner”). The Partnership, through its wholly owned subsidiary Center Point Terminal Company, LLC (“Center Point”), owns, operates, develops and acquires liquid bulk storage terminals and related assets primarily for the storage of petroleum based products, including light refined products, heavy refined products and crude oil. We operate fee-based facilities located along the East Coast, Gulf Coast and Midwest regions of the United States. Basis of Presentation These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared under the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial statements. Accordingly, these financial statements do not include all of the disclosures required by GAAP and should be read along with the Partnership’s 2015 audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015. The Partnership’s financial statements as of September 30, 2016, and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, are unaudited and have been prepared on the same basis as the annual consolidated financial statements. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the preparation of the accompanying financial statements. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In management’s opinion, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments consisting of normal recurring accruals necessary for the fair presentation of the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015. Information for interim periods may not be indicative of the Partnership’s operating results for the entire year. |

Earnings Per Share [Text Block] |
Earnings per unit applicable to limited partners (including subordinated unitholders) is computed by dividing limited partners’ interest in net income, after deducting amounts due pursuant to Incentive Distribution Rights (“IDRs”) by the weighted-average number of outstanding common and subordinated units. Our net income is allocated to the limited partners in accordance with their respective ownership interests, after giving effect to priority income allocations, including incentive distributions, if any, to the holders of IDRs, pursuant to our partnership agreement. Earnings in excess of distributions are allocated to the limited partners based on their respective ownership interests. Payments made to our unitholders are determined in relation to actual distributions declared and are not based on the net income allocations used in the calculation of earnings per unit. The weighted-average number of units outstanding was as follows:
The end of the subordination period will occur upon payment of the third-quarter 2016 distribution on November 14, 2016, at which time, each outstanding subordinated unit will convert into one common unit and will thereafter participate on terms equal to all other common units in distributions of available cash. In addition to the common and subordinated units, we have also identified the IDRs as participating securities and use the two-class method when calculating the earnings per unit applicable to limited partners, which is based on the weighted-average number of common and subordinated units outstanding during the period. Basic and diluted earnings per unit applicable to limited partners are the same because we do not have any potentially dilutive units outstanding. The calculation of earnings per unit is as follows:
Cash Distributions Our partnership agreement generally provides that we will make our distributions, if any, each quarter in the following manner:
In each case, the amount of the target distribution set forth above is exclusive of any distributions to common unitholders to eliminate any cumulative arrearages in payment of the minimum quarterly distribution. The percentage interests set forth above assume that we do not issue additional classes of equity securities. Our unitholders and the holders of our IDRs will receive distributions according to the following percentage allocations:
The following table sets forth the distribution declared in total and per limited partner unit attributable to the periods indicated:

Investments, All Other Investments [Abstract] | ||||
Financial Instruments Disclosure [Text Block] |
The Partnership’s financial assets and liabilities consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, short-term investments, accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The Partnership has exposure to counterparty credit risk, liquidity risk, interest rate risk, and other price risk with its financial assets and liabilities. The Partnership’s risk management program seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on the Partnership’s financial performance and ultimately shareholder value. The Partnership manages its risks and risk exposures through a combination of sound business practices, derivative instruments and a system of internal controls. Credit Risk Credit risk arises from cash held with banks, credit exposure to customers (including outstanding accounts receivable), and counterparty risk associated with certain of the Partnership’s short-term investments. Cash and cash equivalents consist of bank balances. Credit risk associated with cash is minimized by ensuring that these financial assets are held at high quality financial institutions. Accounts receivable consists primarily of trade accounts receivable from storage related revenues. The Partnership’s credit risk arises from the possibility that a counterparty which owes the Partnership money is unable or unwilling to meet its obligations in accordance with the terms and conditions of the contracts with the Partnership, which would result in a financial loss for the Partnership. Credit risk associated with accounts receivable is minimized by the business model and collection policies of the Partnership. Most of the Partnership’s customers prepay their obligations at the beginning of each month and/or the Partnership has custody of customer assets at its facilities. The assets held by the Partnership belonging to its customers generally carry a market value well in excess of the accounts receivable balances due. The Partnership conducts business with a relatively few number of customers, including one affiliated customer that comprised approximately 40% and 38% of the Partnership’s first nine months 2016 and 2015 revenues, respectively, and another customer that comprised approximately 11% and 12% of the Partnership’s first nine months 2016 and 2015 revenues, respectively, under both short-term and long-term contracts. A large portion of the Partnership’s annual expenses are fixed and, accordingly, the Partnership’s ability to meet its ongoing obligations is dependent upon its ability to retain existing customers and/or attract new ones. The carrying amounts of accounts receivable are reduced through the use of an allowance for doubtful accounts and the amount of the loss is recognized in the consolidated statements of income. The allowance for doubtful accounts is determined by specific customer balance analysis. When a receivable balance is considered uncollectable, it is written off against the allowance for accounts receivable. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off reduce expenses in the consolidated statements of income. Historically trade credit losses have been minimal. The Partnership has equity investments in marketable securities, including common stocks, exchange-traded-debt, foreign equities and preferred stocks. The Partnership seeks to mitigate risk of a financial loss by investing in what it considers to be high-quality instruments with quality counterparties. |

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Fair Value Disclosures [Text Block] |
The Partnership adopted the amendments to Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, for the consolidated financial statements. The amendments require the use of a fair value hierarchy in order to classify the fair value disclosures related to the Partnership’s financial assets and financial liabilities that are recognized in the balance sheets at fair value. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels: Level 1 Values based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 Values based on quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, or model based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market. Level 3 Values are generated from model based techniques that use significant assumptions not observable in the market. Valuation techniques could include use of option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques. The Partnership does not currently have any instruments with fair value determined using Level 3 inputs. The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety is determined on the basis of the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The financial assets and financial liabilities, measured at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets, consisted of the following as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015:
For assets and liabilities that are measured using quoted prices in active markets, the total fair value is the published market price per unit multiplied by the number of units held without consideration of transaction costs. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument: Cash Equivalents The carrying value of cash equivalents represents fair value as it is based on active market quotes available for these assets and is classified as Level 1. Short-Term Investments The short-term investments consist of investments in listed common stocks, exchange-traded-debt securities, foreign equities and preferred stocks. The securities are valued using quoted prices from the various public markets. The securities trade on public exchanges, both domestic and foreign, and can be accurately described as active markets. The observable valuation inputs are unadjusted quoted prices that represent active market trades and are classified as Level 1. Long-Term Incentive Plan Liability The long-term incentive plan liability is the estimated value of unit appreciation rights granted to our employees, as calculated by the Black-Scholes model. The liability is valued using significant assumptions that are observable in the market including an expected risk-free rate, distribution yield, volatility rate, and life to maturity. The liability is classified as Level 2. |

The Partnership has recorded a liability for the estimated costs of removing its terminal assets from those terminals located on leased land where the landowners have the right to require the Partnership to remove the assets. The recorded liability was $686 and $658 at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively, which represents the present value of the estimated costs of removal. The maximum undiscounted liability is estimated to be $10,135. This amount was discounted utilizing the Partnership’s estimated, credit adjusted risk-free rate and further adjusted by probability factors based on management’s assessment of the likelihood of being required to demolish certain assets. Should the landowners exercise their rights to require the Partnership to remove the terminal assets, the cash outflows required to settle these obligations will occur on or around lease expiration dates ranging from July 13, 2034 to February 1, 2061. |

The Partnership has a Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “LTIP”) for providing long-term incentives to our employees, directors and consultants who provide services to us. The plan is administered by the board of directors of our General Partner (the “Board of Directors”). The Board of Directors has authority to: (i) designate participants; (ii) determine types of awards; (iii) determine number of units covered by the award; (iv) determine terms and conditions of awards; (v) determine how and when awards might be settled; and (vi) interpret and administer the plan and take other such actions as might be necessary for the proper administration of the plan. The LTIP provides for the issuance of an aggregate of up to 3,000,000 Common Units to be granted either as options, restricted units, phantom units, distribution equivalent rights, unit appreciation rights (“UARs”), unit awards, profits interest units or other unit-based award granted under the plan. As of September 30, 2016, we have granted awards totaling 340,000 restricted units and 25,000 UARs. The restricted units vest over three years subject to customary forfeiture provisions. Restricted units are included in the number of common units outstanding as presented on our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and are entitled to cash distributions, which are nonforfeitable, on the same basis as the Common Units. The Partnership recorded non-cash compensation expense related to the restricted units as follows:
The UARs vest over five years subject to customary forfeiture provisions, and are not included in the number of common units outstanding as presented on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets or entitled to cash distributions. Non-cash compensation expense related to the UARs has been estimated using the Black-Scholes model. Because the UARs may be settled in units or cash at the option of the participant, they have been recorded utilizing the liability method. Non-cash compensation expense relating to the UARs was ($1) for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and $1 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The exercise price of the UARs is the fair market value of a unit on the grant date. The following table summarizes awards granted pursuant to the LTIP through September 30, 2016. There were no forfeitures through September 30, 2016.
