Basis of Presentation
Basis of Presentation
Our accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP, for interim consolidated financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and disclosures required by GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of our management, they contain all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which our management considers necessary to present fairly our financial position as of June 30, 2021, our results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, and our cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020. We derived our consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020 from the audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020. Our results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 should not be taken as indicative of the results to be expected for the full year due to fluctuations in the supply of and demand for crude oil and biofuels, timing and completion of acquisitions, if any, changes in the fair market value of our derivative instruments and the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes thereto presented in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020.
COVID-19 Update
During 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic adversely affected the global economy, disrupted global supply chains and created significant volatility in the financial markets. As a result, beginning in March 2020, there was significant reductions in demand for crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids, which led to a decline in commodity prices. This drove Canadian producers to curtail production, which in turn resulted in lower crude oil supply levels and led
to lower throughput volume through our facilities. However, the decline in throughput volumes at our facilities did not have a material impact on our results of operations or cash flows during 2020, as a substantial amount of our terminalling services operating cash flows are generated from take-or-pay contracts with minimum monthly commitment fees with mainly investment grade customers. There still remains significant uncertainty given the unprecedented and evolving nature of the COVID-19 pandemic and the state of the commodity markets. As such, we will continue to actively monitor their impact on our operations and financial condition.
Foreign Currency Translation
Foreign Currency Translation
We conduct a substantial portion of our operations in Canada, which we account for in the local currency, the Canadian dollar. We translate most Canadian dollar denominated balance sheet accounts into our reporting currency, the U.S. dollar, at the end of period exchange rate, while most accounts in our statement of operations accounts are translated into our reporting currency based on the average exchange rate for each monthly period. Fluctuations in the exchange rates between the Canadian dollar and the U.S. dollar can create variability in the amounts we translate and report in U.S. dollars.
Within these consolidated financial statements, we denote amounts denominated in Canadian dollars with “C$” immediately prior to the stated amount.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
Income Taxes (ASU 2019-12)
In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2019-12, or ASU 2019-12, which amends the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, Topic 740, by removing certain exceptions related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. It also simplifies aspects of the accounting for franchise taxes and enacted changes in tax laws or rates and clarifies the accounting for transactions that result in a step-up in the tax basis of goodwill. In addition, under the provisions of ASU 2019-12, single-member limited liability companies and similar disregarded entities that are not subject to income tax are not required to recognize an allocation of consolidated income tax expense in their separate financial statements, but they could elect to do so. The pronouncement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, or for any interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted.
We adopted the provisions of ASU 2019-12 on January 1, 2021. Our adoption of this standard did not have an impact on our financial statements.
