1. Business and Basis of Presentation

BP Midstream Partners LP (either individually or together with its subsidiaries, as the context requires, the “Partnership”) is a Delaware limited partnership formed on May 22, 2017 by BP Pipelines (North America) Inc. (“BP Pipelines”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of BP p.l.c. (“BP”), a “foreign private issuer” within the meaning of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Unless otherwise stated or the context otherwise indicates, all references to “we,” “our,” “us,” or similar expressions refer to the legal entity BP Midstream Partners LP. The term “our Parent” refers to BP Pipelines; any entity that wholly owns BP Pipelines, indirectly or directly, including BP and BP America Inc. (“BPA”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of BP; and any entity that is wholly owned by the aforementioned entities, excluding BP Midstream Partners LP.

Business

BP Midstream Partners LP is a master limited partnership formed by BP Pipelines to own, operate, develop and acquire pipelines and other midstream assets. The Partnership's assets consist of interests in entities that own crude oil, natural gas, refined products and diluent pipelines and refined product terminals serving as key infrastructure for BP and other customers to transport onshore crude oil production to BP’s refinery in Whiting, Indiana (the “Whiting Refinery”) and offshore crude oil and natural gas production to key refining markets and trading and distribution hubs. Certain assets deliver refined products and diluent from the Whiting Refinery and other U.S. supply hubs to major demand centers.

As of September 30, 2021, the Partnership's assets consisted of the following:

BP Two Pipeline Company LLC, which owns the BP#2 crude oil pipeline system (“BP2”).
BP River Rouge Pipeline Company LLC, which owns the Whiting to River Rouge refined products pipeline system (“River Rouge”).
BP D-B Pipeline Company LLC, which owns the Diamondback diluent pipeline system (“Diamondback”). BP2, River Rouge, and Diamondback, together, are referred to as the "Wholly-Owned Assets".
28.5% ownership interest in Mars Oil Pipeline Company, LLC (“Mars”), which owns a major corridor crude oil pipeline system in the Gulf of Mexico.
65% ownership interest and 100% managing member interest in Mardi Gras Transportation System Company, LLC ("Mardi Gras"), which holds the following investments in joint ventures located in the Gulf of Mexico:
56% ownership interest in Caesar Oil Pipeline Company, LLC (“Caesar”),
53% ownership interest in Cleopatra Gas Gathering Company, LLC (“Cleopatra”),
65% ownership interest in Proteus Oil Pipeline Company, LLC (“Proteus”), and,
65% ownership interest in Endymion Oil Pipeline Company, LLC (“Endymion”).
Together Endymion, Caesar, Cleopatra and Proteus are referred to as the “Mardi Gras Joint Ventures.”
22.7% ownership interest in Ursa Oil Pipeline Company, LLC ("Ursa").
25% ownership interest in KM Phoenix Holdings, LLC ("KM Phoenix").

We generate a majority of revenue by charging fees for the transportation of crude oil, refined products and diluent through our pipelines under agreements with minimum volume commitments ("MVC"). We do not engage in the marketing and trading of any commodities. All operations are conducted in the United States, and all long-lived assets are located in the United States. Partnership operations consist of one reportable segment.

Certain Partnership businesses are subject to regulation by various authorities including, but not limited to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission ("FERC"). Regulatory bodies exercise statutory authority over matters such as common carrier tariffs, construction, rates and ratemaking and agreements with customers.

Basis of Presentation

Condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
(in millions of dollars, unless otherwise indicated)
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the annual consolidated financial statements have been condensed or omitted from these condensed consolidated financial statements. The condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2021, and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, included herein, are unaudited. These financial statements include all known accruals and adjustments necessary, in the opinion of management, for a fair presentation of our condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows. Unless otherwise specified, all such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. The unaudited results of operations for the interim periods reported are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 (the "Partnership's 2020 10-K").

Partnership financial position, results of operations and cash flows consist of consolidated BP Midstream Partners LP activities and balances. All intercompany accounts and transactions within the financial statements have been eliminated for all periods presented.

Subordinated Unit Conversion

On February 11, 2021, we paid a cash distribution of $0.3475 per limited partner unit to unitholders of record on January 28, 2021, for the three months ended December 31, 2020. Following payment of the distribution, the board of directors of BP Midstream Partners GP LLC (our "General Partner") confirmed and approved that the financial tests required for conversion of our subordinated units had been met under the terms of the partnership agreement. As a result, on February 12, 2021, all of the Partnership's subordinated units were converted into common units on a one-for-one basis and the subordination period was terminated. Refer to Note 8 - Net Income Per Limited Partner Unit for additional information.

As a result of the completion of this conversion event, common units are presented on a combined basis in the condensed consolidated balance sheets and the condensed consolidated statements of changes in equity as of and for the period ended September 30, 2021. Prior periods have been reclassified in the comparative periods to conform to current period presentation in the condensed consolidated balance sheets and the condensed consolidated statements of changes in equity.

Take Private Proposal

On August 4, 2021, the board of directors of our General Partner received a non-binding preliminary proposal letter from BP Pipelines, through its wholly-owned subsidiary BP Midstream Partners Holdings LLC, to acquire all of our issued and outstanding common units not already owned by BP Pipelines or its affiliates at a to-be-determined fixed exchange ratio, at a value of $13.01 per each issued and outstanding publicly held common unit of the Partnership payable in newly-issued American Depositary Receipts ("ADRs") of BP p.l.c. (the "Proposal"). Under the Proposal, the exchange ratio would be determined based on a 30-day volume-weighted average closing price of ADRs of BP p.l.c. as of the day immediately preceding the signing of a merger agreement. The board of directors has appointed a conflicts committee to review, evaluate and negotiate the Proposal. The conflicts committee continues to evaluate the Proposal.

The proposed transaction is subject to a number of contingencies, including the approval of the conflicts committee of the board of directors of our General Partner, and the satisfaction of any conditions to the consummation of a transaction set forth in any definitive agreement concerning the transaction. There can be no assurance that such definitive documentation will be executed or that any transaction will materialize on the terms described above or at all.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

There have been no significant changes to accounting policies as disclosed in Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Partnership's 2020 10-K.

2. Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue over time or at a point in time, depending on the nature of the performance obligations contained in the respective contract with customers. A performance obligation is our unit of account and it represents a promise in a contract to transfer goods or services to the customer. The contract transaction price, which is the amount of consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring promised goods or services to a customer, is allocated to each performance obligation and recognized as revenue when or as the performance obligation is satisfied. The following is an

BP MIDSTREAM PARTNERS LP  
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
(in millions of dollars, unless otherwise indicated)
overview of our significant revenue stream, including a description of the respective performance obligations and related methods of revenue recognition.

Pipeline Transportation

Revenue from pipeline transportation is comprised of tariffs and fees associated with the transportation of liquid petroleum products, generally at published tariffs and in certain instances, revenue from MVC contracts at negotiated rates. Tariff revenue is recognized either at the point of delivery or at the point of receipt, pursuant to specifications outlined in the respective tariffs. We record revenue for crude oil, refined products and diluent transportation during the period in which they are earned (i.e., either physical delivery of product has taken place or the services designated in the contract have been performed). Partnership services are typically billed on a monthly basis, and we generally do not offer extended payment terms. We accrue revenue based on services rendered but not billed for that accounting month.

Billings to BP Products North America Inc. ("BP Products") for deficiency volumes under its MVCs, if any, are recorded as deferred revenues and credits, a contract liability, on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, as BP Products has the right to make up the deficiency volumes within the measurement period specified by the agreements. Deferred revenue under these arrangements is recognized into revenue once it is deemed remote that the customer will meet its required annual MVC. If the customer does satisfy its MVC by shipping the deficiency volumes within the same calendar year, it may receive a refund of excess payments.

We recognized no deficiency revenue under the throughput and deficiency agreements with BP Products for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021. We recognized $5.1 million and $11.1 million deficiency revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively.

Allowance Oil

The tariff for crude oil transportation at BP2 includes a fixed loss allowance (“FLA”). An FLA factor per barrel, a fixed percentage, is a separate fee that is considered a part of the transaction price under the applicable crude oil tariff to cover evaporation and other losses in transit. The amount of revenue recognized is a product of the quantity transported, the applicable FLA factor and the settlement price during the month the product is transported.

We recognized revenue of $3.0 million and $8.6 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, related to the FLA arrangements with our Parent. In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, we recognized revenue of $1.6 million and $3.9 million, respectively, related to FLA arrangements with our Parent.

Future Performance Obligations

The values in the table below represent the fixed portion of the MVC arrangements with our existing customer contracts, summarized as future performance obligations as of September 30, 2021. The unfulfilled performance obligations included in the table below are expected to be recognized in revenue in the specified periods:

Remainder of 2021$31.8 
2022101.7 
202397.9 
     Total $231.4 

As of September 30, 2021, we have an executed Capital Recovery Fee Agreement with BP Products and commenced construction of an onshore capacity increase project. The agreement calls for fees of $6.0 million per year (payable in equal monthly installments) over a four-year period, beginning when the increased capacity becomes available for use.

Contract Balances

Contract assets and contract liabilities are the result of timing differences between revenue recognition, billings and cash collections. Contract liabilities or deferred revenues and credits primarily relate to consideration received from customers for temporary deficiency quantities under minimum volume contracts that the customer has the right to make up in a future period, which we subsequently recognize as revenue or amounts we credit back to the customer in a future period.

The following table provides information about receivables from contracts with customers, contract assets and contract liabilities:

3. Equity Method Investments

We account for ownership interests in Mars, the Mardi Gras Joint Ventures, Ursa, and KM Phoenix using the equity method for financial reporting purposes. Financial results include the Partnership's proportionate share of Mars, the Mardi Gras Joint Ventures, Ursa and KM Phoenix, which is reflected in Income from equity method investments on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. We did not record any impairment loss on equity method investments during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020.

6. Debt

On February 24, 2020, we entered into a $468 million Term Loan Facility Agreement ("term loan") with an affiliate of BP. On March 13, 2020, proceeds were used to repay outstanding borrowings under the existing credit facility ("credit facility"). Refer to Note 9 - Debt in the Partnership's 2020 10-K for additional information. The term loan has a final repayment date of February 24, 2025, and provides for certain covenants, including the requirement to maintain a consolidated leverage ratio, which is calculated as total indebtedness to consolidated EBITDA, not to exceed 5.0 to 1.0, subject to a temporary increase in such ratio to 5.5 to 1.0 in connection with certain material acquisitions. Simultaneous with this transaction, we entered into a First Amendment to Short Term Credit Facility Agreement whereby the lender added a provision that indebtedness under both the term loan and the credit facility shall not exceed $600 million. All other terms of the credit facility remain the same.

As of September 30, 2021, the Partnership was in compliance with the covenants contained in the term loan facility and the credit facility. There were $468 million of outstanding borrowings under the term loan at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. Interest charges and fees were $1.1 million and $3.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. Interest charges and fees were $1.5 million and $7.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively.

Indebtedness under the term loan bears interest at the 3-month LIBOR plus 0.73%. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the weighted average interest rates for our long-term debt were 0.87% and 0.91%, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the weighted average interest rates for our long-term debt were 1.18% and 1.91%, respectively.

7. Related Party Transactions

Related party transactions include transactions with our Parent and its affiliates, including those entities in which our Parent has an ownership interest but over which it does not have control. In addition to the Take Private Proposal section discussed in Note 1 - Business and Basis of Presentation, the MVC and FLA arrangements discussed in Note 2 - Revenue Recognition and the credit facility and term loan in Note 6 - Debt, we have entered into the following transactions with related parties:

Omnibus Agreement

The Partnership has entered into an omnibus agreement with BP Pipelines and certain of its affiliates, including our General Partner. This agreement addresses, among other things, (i) the Partnership's obligation to pay an annual fee for general and administrative services provided by BP Pipelines and its affiliates, (ii) the Partnership's obligation to reimburse BP Pipelines for personnel and other costs related to the direct operation, management and maintenance of the assets and (iii) the Partnership's obligation to reimburse BP Pipelines for services and certain direct or allocated costs and expenses incurred by BP Pipelines or its affiliates on behalf of the Partnership.

BP Pipelines will indemnify us for all known and certain unknown environmental liabilities that are associated with the ownership or operation of Partnership assets and due to occurrences on or before October 30, 2017, subject to certain limitations. Specifically, under our omnibus agreement, indemnification for any unknown environmental liabilities was limited to liabilities due to occurrences on or before October 30, 2017, which were identified prior to October 30, 2020. We continue to maintain indemnification by our General Partner for matters previously discovered. To the extent that unknown environmental liabilities arise relating to prior ownership, the Partnership will be liable.

Further, the omnibus agreement addresses the granting of a license from BPA to the Partnership with respect to use of certain BP trademarks and trade name.

Related Party Revenue     

We provide crude oil, refined products and diluent transportation services to related parties and generate revenue through published tariffs. We have commercial arrangements with BP Products that include MVCs. Refer to Note 10 - Related Party Transactions in the Partnership's 2020 10-K for additional information regarding these agreements.

Revenue from related parties was $26.0 million and $83.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, and $33.1 million and $93.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively.

We recognized no deficiency revenue under the throughput and deficiency agreements with BP Products for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021. We recognized $5.1 million and $11.1 million deficiency revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively. The Partnership recorded $5.6 million and $1.8 million in Deferred revenues and credits on the condensed consolidated balance sheets at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

Related Party Expenses

All employees performing services on behalf of Partnership operations are employees of our Parent. Our Parent also procures insurance policies on our behalf and performs certain general corporate functions for us related to finance, accounting, treasury, legal, information technology, human resources, shared services, government affairs, insurance, health, safety, security, employee benefits, incentives, severance and environmental functional support. Personnel and operating costs incurred by our Parent on our behalf are included in either Operating expenses – related parties or General and administrative – related parties in the condensed consolidated statements of operations, depending on the nature of the service provided.

We paid our Parent an annual fee of $14.0 million in 2020 in the form of monthly installments under the omnibus agreement for general and administrative services provided by our Parent and its affiliates. The annual fee was adjusted to $15.5 million per year, payable in equal monthly installments, beginning on January 1, 2021. We also reimburse our Parent for personnel and other costs related to the direct operation, management and maintenance of the assets and services and certain direct or allocated costs and expenses incurred by our Parent or its affiliates on our behalf pursuant to the terms in the omnibus agreement.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, we recorded the following amounts for related party expenses, which also included the expenses related to share-based compensation discussed below:

Share-based Compensation

Our Parent operates share option plans and equity-settled employee share plans. These plans typically have a three-year performance or restricted period during which the units accrue net notional dividends, which are treated as having been reinvested. Leaving employment will normally preclude the conversion of units into shares, but special arrangements apply for participants that leave for qualifying reasons.

Share-based compensation related to the employees of our Parent who provide services to us is charged to the Partnership pursuant to the terms of the omnibus agreement. The Partnership also issued its own unit-based compensation under a long-term incentive plan. Refer to Note 11 - Unit-Based Compensation.

Non-controlling Interests

Non-controlling interests consist of the 35% ownership interest in Mardi Gras held by our Parent at September 30, 2021 and 2020. Net income attributable to non-controlling interests is the product of the non-controlling interests ownership percentage and the net income of Mardi Gras. We report Non-controlling interests as a separate component of equity on the condensed consolidated balance sheets and Net income attributable to non-controlling interests on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Earnings in excess of distributions (Distributions in excess of earnings) are allocated to the limited partners based on their respective percentage interests. Payments made to the Partnership’s unitholders are determined in relation to actual distributions declared and are not based on the net income allocations used in the calculation of net income per unit.

In addition to the common and subordinated units, the Partnership also identified the incentive distribution rights ("IDRs") currently held by the General Partner as a participating security and uses the two-class method when calculating the net income per unit applicable to limited partners that is based on the weighted-average number of common units outstanding during the period.

Following the payment of the distribution on February 11, 2021, the financial tests required for the conversion of our subordinated units were satisfied under the terms of our partnership agreement. As a result, on February 12, 2021, all of the Partnership's subordinated units were converted into common units on a one-for-one basis and the subordination period was terminated. Following the conversion, we continue to use the two-class method when calculating the net income per unit applicable to limited partners. The remaining classes of participating securities are common units and IDRs.

When calculating basic earnings per unit under the two-class method for a master limited partnership, net income for the current reporting period is reduced by the amount of available cash that will be distributed to the General Partner and limited partners for that reporting period. The following tables show the allocation of net income to arrive at net income per limited partner unit for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020:

On April 15, 2021, the Partnership declared a cash distribution of $0.3475 per limited partner unit to unitholders of record on April 29, 2021, for the three months ended March 31, 2021. All of the subordinated units were converted into common units on February 12, 2021. As a result, on the date of record, there were no subordinated units outstanding, and therefore, no portion of the cash distribution was allocated to the limited partners' subordinated units. However, pursuant to the requirements of the two-class method, and as stated above, the net income per unit amount applicable to the subordinated units has been calculated for the period of time the units were outstanding prior to their conversion.

9. Fair Value Measurements

The carrying amounts of accounts receivable, other current assets, accounts payable, and other current liabilities approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature.

The carrying value of borrowings under the term loan as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 approximate fair value as the interest rates are reflective of market rates.

10. Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Proceedings

The Partnership is a party to ongoing legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business. For each outstanding legal matter, if any, we will evaluate the merits of the case, exposure to the matter, possible legal or settlement strategies and the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome. While the outcome of these proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, we do not believe the
17

BP MIDSTREAM PARTNERS LP  
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
(in millions of dollars, unless otherwise indicated)
results of these proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on the Partnership's business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

Indemnification

Under our omnibus agreement, our Parent will indemnify us for certain environmental liabilities, litigation and other matters attributable to the ownership or operation of our assets prior to our ownership. For the purposes of determining the indemnified amount of any loss suffered or incurred by the Partnership, the Partnership’s ownership of 28.5% in Mars, and 65% in Mardi Gras, and Mardi Gras’ 56% ownership in Caesar, 53% ownership in Cleopatra, 65% ownership in Endymion and 65% ownership in Proteus will be considered. Indemnification for certain identified environmental liabilities is subject to a cap of $25 million without any deductible. Other matters covered by the omnibus agreement are subject to a cap of $15.0 million and an aggregate deductible of $0.5 million before we are entitled to indemnification. Indemnification for any unknown environmental liabilities was limited to liabilities due to occurrences on or before October 30, 2017, which were identified prior to October 30, 2020. We continue to maintain indemnification by our General Partner for matters previously discovered. To the extent that unknown environmental liabilities arise relating to prior ownership, the Partnership will be liable.

The Interest Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants of our Parent and the Partnership. Our Parent, on the one hand, and the Partnership, on the other hand, have agreed to indemnify each other and their respective affiliates, officers, directors and other representatives against certain losses, including those resulting from any breach of their representations, warranties or covenants contained in the Interest Purchase Agreement, subject to certain limitations and survival periods. This agreement covers the Partnership’s ownership of 22.7% in Ursa and 25% in KM Phoenix.

Environmental Matters

We are subject to federal, state, and local environmental laws and regulations. We record provisions for environmental liabilities based on management’s best estimates, using all information that is available at the time. In making environmental liability estimations, we consider the material effect of environmental compliance, pending legal actions against us and potential third-party liability claims. Often, as the remediation evaluation and effort progress, additional information is obtained, requiring revisions to estimated costs. We are indemnified by our Parent under the omnibus agreement against environmental cleanup costs for incidents that occurred prior to Partnership ownership. Revisions to the estimated environmental liability for conditions that are not indemnified under the omnibus agreement with our Parent are reflected in the Partnership's condensed consolidated statements of operations in the year in which they are probable and reasonably estimable.

We accrued $3.5 million and $3.4 million for environmental liabilities at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. These balances are broken down on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as follows:
Balance sheet locationSeptember 30, 2021December 31, 2020
Current portion of environmental remediation obligationsOther current liabilities$0.5 $0.4 
Long-term portion of environmental remediation obligationsOther liabilities3.0 3.0 
   Total $3.5 $3.4 

The balances are related to incidents that occurred prior to our ownership and are entirely indemnified by our Parent. As a result, we recorded corresponding indemnification assets $3.5 million and $3.4 million at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. These balances are broken down on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as follows:

Griffith Station Incident

On June 13, 2019, a building fire occurred at the Griffith Station on BP2. Management performed an evaluation of the assets and determined that an impairment was required. We have incurred $0.1 million and $0.3 million for response expense during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Reimbursable costs associated with the incident are offset with an insurance receivable, of which $2.5 million is outstanding under "Other current assets" on our condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. In the event that insurance proceeds exceed the receivable balance, such amounts would be recognized as a gain. Refer to Note 13 - Commitments and Contingencies in the Partnership's 2020 10-K for additional information.

11. Unit-Based Compensation

Long-Term Incentive Plan

On October 26, 2017, the General Partner adopted the BP Midstream Partners LP 2017 Long Term Incentive Plan (the “LTIP”). Awards under the LTIP are available for eligible officers, directors, employees and consultants of the General Partner and its affiliates, who perform services for the Partnership. The LTIP allows the Partnership to grant unit options, unit appreciation rights, restricted units, phantom units, unit awards, cash awards, performance awards, distribution equivalent rights, substitute awards and other unit-based awards. The maximum aggregate number of common units that may be issued pursuant to the awards granted under the LTIP shall not exceed 5,502,271, subject to proportionate adjustment in the event of unit splits and similar events.

Unit-Based Awards under the LTIP

The following is a summary of phantom unit award activities of the Partnership’s common units for the nine months ended September 30, 2021:
Phantom Units
Number of Units (in units)Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value per Unit (in dollars)
Outstanding at December 31, 202016,038 $14.03 
Granted18,534 12.00 
Vested(16,038)14.03 
Outstanding at September 30, 202118,534 $12.00 

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, total compensation expense recognized for phantom unit awards were approximately $56 thousand and $167 thousand, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, total compensation expense recognized for phantom unit awards was approximately $57 thousand and $176 thousand, respectively. The unrecognized compensation cost related to phantom unit awards was approximately $90 thousand at September 30, 2021, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 0.4 years.

12. Variable Interest Entity

Mardi Gras is a Delaware limited liability company and a pass-through entity for U.S. federal and state income tax purposes. Mardi Gras holds equity interests in the Mardi Gras Joint Ventures and accounts for them as equity method investments. Mardi Gras does not have any other operations or activities. The remaining interests in each of the Mardi Gras Joint Ventures are owned by unaffiliated third-party investors. Each of the Mardi Gras Joint Ventures is managed by its respective management committee, and decisions made by these management committees require approval of two or more members that are not affiliates with equity interest holdings meeting certain thresholds.

We have 65% ownership interest and 100% managing member interest in Mardi Gras. The remainder of the economic interest in Mardi Gras was held 34% by BP Pipelines and 1% by an affiliate of BP. Through our managing member interest in Mardi Gras, we have the right to vote 100% of Mardi Gras’ interest in each of the Mardi Gras Joint Ventures. We determined that Mardi Gras is a variable interest entity because (i) we hold disproportional voting rights as compared to our economic interest in Mardi Gras, and (ii) substantially all of Mardi Gras’ activities involve or are conducted on behalf of our Parent, which holds disproportionately few voting rights.
19

BP MIDSTREAM PARTNERS LP  
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
(in millions of dollars, unless otherwise indicated)

The managing member interest in Mardi Gras provides us with the unilateral power to direct the activities of Mardi Gras that most significantly impact its economic performance including the right to exercise the voting rights of BP for each of the Mardi Gras Joint Ventures. In addition, our obligations to absorb the expected losses of and the right to receive the residual returns from Mardi Gras relative to our economic ownership is significant to Mardi Gras. As a result, we are the primary beneficiary of Mardi Gras and consolidate Mardi Gras.

We have the obligation to provide financial support to Mardi Gras if all members unanimously determine that additional capital contributions are necessary to fund Mardi Gras’ operations. The assets of Mardi Gras can only be used to satisfy its own obligations, which were zero at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. Under the current limited liability company agreement of Mardi Gras, creditors of Mardi Gras, if any, do not have any recourse to the general credit of the Partnership.

The financial position of Mardi Gras at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, its financial performance for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, as reflected in the condensed consolidated financial statements, are as follows:

Based on this evaluation, it was determined that no subsequent events occurred, other than the item noted below, that require recognition or disclosure in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Distribution

On October 14, 2021, we declared a cash distribution of $0.3475 per limited partner unit to unitholders of record on October 28, 2021, for the three months ended September 30, 2021. The distribution, combined with distributions to our General Partner, will be paid on November 11, 2021, and will total $37.6 million, with $16.6 million distributed to our non-affiliated common unitholders, and $21.0 million, including $1.2 million for IDRs distributed to our Parent in respect of its ownership of our common units and IDRs.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This quarterly report on Form 10-Q (the “Quarterly Report”) includes various “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("Exchange Act"). All statements other than statements of historical fact included in this Quarterly Report, regarding the Partnership's strategy, future growth, future operations, future actions, the continued effects of the global coronavirus disease (“COVID-19”) pandemic on demand, the effects of the continued volatility of commodity prices and the related macroeconomic and political environment, volumes, capital requirements, conditions or events, future operating results or the ability to generate sales, our potential exposure to market risks, statements relating to the expected amount of cash available for distribution and level of distributions, financial position, estimated revenues and losses, projected cost, prospects, plans and objectives of management, are forward-looking statements.

When used in this Quarterly Report, you can identify our forward-looking statements by words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “forecast,” “goal,” “intend,” “plan,” “predict,” “project,” “seek,” “target,” “could,” “may,” “should,” “would” or other similar expressions that convey the uncertainty of future events or outcomes, although not all forward-looking statements contain such identifying words. When considering forward-looking statements, you should carefully consider the risk factors and other cautionary statements described under the heading “Risk Factors” in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, under Part II, Item 1A of our Quarterly Reports and other cautionary statements contained in this filing.

We base forward-looking statements on our current expectations and assumptions about future events and currently available information as to the outcome and timing of future events. We caution you that these statements are not guarantees of future performance as they involved assumptions that, while made in good faith, may prove to be incorrect, and involve risks and uncertainties we cannot predict. Accordingly, our actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what we have expressed or forecast in the forward-looking statements.

Forward-looking statements may include statements about:
The outcome of the non-binding preliminary proposal made by BP Pipelines to acquire all of our issued and outstanding common units.
Volatility in global crude oil demand and crude oil prices for an uncertain period of time and the potential resulting significant reduction of domestic crude oil and natural gas production and significant declines in the actual or expected volumes transported through our pipelines and/or the reduction of commercial opportunities that might otherwise be available to us.
Uncertainty regarding the easing of restrictions on various commercial, social and economic activities by applicable authorities, as well as the potential reinstatement of such restrictions, in response to the spread of COVID-19, including new virus strains.
Uncertainty regarding the timing, pace and extent of economic growth in the United States and elsewhere, which in turn will likely affect demand for crude oil and therefore the demand for the midstream services we provide and the commercial opportunities available to us.
The impact of current or future actions or expectations of governments, investors, financial markets, or other stakeholders regarding our environmental, social and governance ("ESG") profile or of any actions we may take or goals we may establish regarding such profile and our related business strategy.
The possibility of cybersecurity breaches and other disruptions or failures of our information systems.
The impact of current and future laws, rulings, governmental regulations, accounting standards and statements, and related interpretations, including increased focus by the federal and state governments to develop renewable energy and climate-related policies.
Our inability to perform our obligations under our contracts, whether due to non-performance by third parties, including our customers or counterparties, market constraints, third-party constraints, legal constraints (including governmental orders or guidance), or other factors.
The continued ability of BP and any non-affiliate customers to satisfy their obligations under commercial and other agreements and the impact of lower market prices for crude oil, natural gas, refined products and diluent including the ability to satisfy such obligations as they may be impacted by the effects of COVID-19.
The volume of crude oil, natural gas, refined products and diluent we transport or store and the prices that we can charge our customers.
The tariff rates with respect to volumes that we transport through our regulated assets, which rates are subject to review and possible adjustment imposed by federal and state regulators.
Changes in revenue that we realized under the fixed loss allowance provisions fees and tariffs resulting from changes in underlying commodity prices.
Fluctuations in the prices for crude oil, natural gas, refined products and diluent.
21



The level of onshore and offshore production and demand for crude oil, natural gas, refined products and diluent.
Our ability to successfully integrate any future assets acquisitions and realize the anticipated benefits of such acquisitions.
Changes in global economic conditions and the effects of a global economic downturn on the business of BP and the business of its suppliers, customers, business partners and credit lenders.
Liabilities associated with the risks and operational hazards inherent in transporting and/or storing crude oil, natural gas, refined products and diluent.
The impact of hurricanes and other severe weather disruptions to our offshore pipelines in the Gulf of Mexico, such as the recent impact of Hurricane Ida.
Curtailment of operations or expansion projects due to unexpected leaks or spills; severe weather disruption; riots, strikes, lockouts or other industrial disturbances; or failure of information technology systems due to various causes, including unauthorized access or attack.
Costs or liabilities associated with federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to environmental protection and safety, including spills, releases and pipeline integrity.
Costs associated with compliance with evolving environmental laws and regulations on climate change.
Costs associated with compliance with safety regulations and system maintenance programs, including pipeline integrity management program testing and related repairs.
Changes in tax status.
Changes in the cost or availability of third-party vessels, pipelines, rail cars and other means of delivering and transporting crude oil, natural gas, refined products and diluent.
Direct or indirect effects on our operations resulting from actual or threatened terrorist incidents or acts of war.
Changes in, and availability to us of the equity and debt capital markets.

Many of the foregoing risks and uncertainties may continue to be exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic and any consequent worsening of the global business and economic environment. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all such factors. Should one or more of the risks or uncertainties described in this Quarterly Report occur, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results and plans could differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements.

All forward-looking statements, expressed or implied, included in this Quarterly Report are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement. This cautionary statement should also be considered in connection with any subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements that the Partnership or persons acting on the Partnership's behalf may issue.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITIONS AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Unless otherwise stated or the context otherwise indicates, all references to “we,” “our,” “us,” refer to the legal entity BP Midstream Partners LP (the "Partnership"). The term “our Parent” refers to BP Pipelines (North America), Inc. (“BP Pipelines”), any entity that wholly owns BP Pipelines, indirectly or directly, including BP America Inc. and BP p.l.c. (“BP”), and any entity that is wholly owned by the aforementioned entities, excluding BP Midstream Partners LP.

The following management discussion and analysis of financial conditions and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the unaudited financial statements and accompanying notes in this quarterly report and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 (the "Partnership's 2020 10-K"). All amounts are in millions of dollars, unless otherwise indicated.

Partnership Overview

We are a fee-based, growth-oriented master limited partnership formed by BP Pipelines, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of BP, to own, operate, develop and acquire pipelines and other midstream assets. For additional information regarding the assets and interests owned by the Partnership, refer to Note 1 - Business and Basis of Presentation in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Take Private Proposal

On August 4, 2021, the board of directors of our General Partner received a non-binding preliminary proposal letter from BP Pipelines, through its wholly-owned subsidiary BP Midstream Partners Holdings LLC, to acquire all of our issued and outstanding common units not already owned by BP Pipelines or its affiliates at a to-be-determined fixed exchange ratio, at a value of $13.01 per each issued and outstanding publicly held common unit of the Partnership payable in newly-issued American Depositary Receipts ("ADRs") of BP p.l.c. (the "Proposal"). Under the Proposal, the exchange ratio would be determined based on a 30-day volume-weighted average closing price of ADRs of BP p.l.c. as of the day immediately preceding the signing of a merger agreement. The board of directors has appointed a conflicts committee to review, evaluate and negotiate the Proposal. The conflicts committee continues to evaluate the Proposal.

The proposed transaction is subject to a number of contingencies, including the approval of the conflicts committee of the board of directors of our General Partner, and the satisfaction of any conditions to the consummation of a transaction set forth in any definitive agreement concerning the transaction. There can be no assurance that such definitive documentation will be executed or that any transaction will materialize on the terms described above or at all.

Business Environment, Market Conditions and Outlook

The impacts to the energy industry from the decline and subsequent volatility in demand for petroleum and petroleum-based products resulting from the response to the global outbreak of COVID-19 have been unprecedented. Management continues to monitor the uneven macro environment. For risks associated with these and other factors, refer to “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in this Quarterly Report.

Management continues to work closely with BP Pipelines, as operator of our assets under the omnibus agreement, to ensure appropriate practices are adopted for continued functioning of our assets as well as mitigation strategies for any office or worksite where COVID-19 may be detected.

In the third quarter of 2021, we experienced a reduction in volumes on our onshore pipelines compared to the second quarter of 2021. On BP2, this was a result of apportionment on the Enbridge mainline and Whiting refinery feedstock optimization. With respect to Diamondback, we experienced lower throughput due to reduced demand from shippers of diluent. We did not experience any significant impacts on River Rouge.

Hurricane Ida

In late August 2021, Hurricane Ida formed and threatened catastrophic damage to the U.S. Gulf Coast along its path. In response, producers in the Gulf of Mexico, including BP, suspended production at platforms and evacuated offshore workers. Additionally, operators performed impact assessments when it was safe to do so. Caesar, Cleopatra, Proteus and Endymion were able to return to normal operating service at different points in September 2021.

While no damage was directly incurred by any of the assets held by the Mars joint venture that we have an interest in, damage to the West Delta-143 facility was discovered after a comprehensive damage assessment and resulted in the facility remaining offline for repairs. On November 5, 2021, the West Delta-143 offshore facilities safely re-started operations. With the facilities now operational, the Mars Oil Pipeline has resumed normal operations as producers ramp up production.

Shippers provided notice that, effective as of August 29, 2021, Hurricane Ida constituted an event of force majeure under their current contracts, which has since been cancelled consistent with the resumption of normal operations of the Mars Oil Pipeline. We estimate that this outage caused a reduction of approximately $8 million to $10 million to our cash available for distribution during the third quarter of 2021 relative to our financial outlook. For more information, refer to our risk factor titled “Hurricanes and other severe weather conditions, natural disasters or other adverse events or conditions could damage our pipeline systems or disrupt the operations of our customers, which could adversely affect our operations and financial condition.

COVID-19

Uncertainties related to COVID-19 continue to affect the oil and gas industry, including the possibility of renewed restrictions on various commercial, social, and economic activities, thereby impacting the demand for crude oil, natural gas, refined products.

23


To limit the impact of COVID-19, BP and our other customers, as well as third-party operators of our pipelines, have implemented various protocols for both onshore and offshore personnel; however, these protocols may not prove to be successful. There is risk of decreased volumes with respect to our offshore operations if operators take actions to reduce operations in response to demand volatility or the inability to control COVID-19 infections on platforms and are required to shut-in. Additionally, we expect the shippers on our offshore pipelines to continue to find buyers for their production; however, they may not be successful.

As noted above, BP Pipelines and the third-party operators of our assets have taken steps and continue to actively work to mitigate any continuing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our operations, financial condition, cash flows and liquidity. However, there is no certainty that the measures we take will be ultimately sufficient.

How We Evaluate Our Operations

Partnership management uses a variety of financial and operating metrics to analyze performance. These metrics are significant factors in assessing operating results and profitability and include: (i) safety and environmental metrics, (ii) revenue (including FLA) from throughput and utilization; (iii) operating expenses and maintenance spend; (iv) Adjusted EBITDA (as defined below); and (v) cash available for distribution (as defined below).

Preventative Safety and Environmental Metrics

We are committed to maintaining and improving the safety, reliability and efficiency of Partnership operations. As noted above, we have worked with BP Pipelines and the third-party operators of our assets to ensure that COVID-19 response and business continuity plans have been implemented across all of our assets and operations. We have implemented reporting programs requiring all employees and contractors of our Parent who provide services to us to record environmental and safety related incidents. The Partnership's management team uses these existing programs and data to evaluate trends and potential interventions to deliver on performance targets. We integrate health, occupational safety, process safety and environmental principles throughout Partnership operations to reduce and eliminate environmental and safety related incidents.

Throughput

We have historically generated substantially all of our revenue under long-term agreements or FERC-regulated generally applicable tariffs by charging fees for the transportation of products through our pipelines. The amount of revenue we generate under these agreements depends in part on the volumes of crude oil, natural gas, refined products and diluent on our pipelines. Refer to Part I, Item 1 and 2, Business and Properties — Our Commercial Agreements with BP — Minimum Volume Commitment Agreements in the Partnership's 2020 10-K for additional information.

Volumes on pipelines are primarily affected by the supply of, and demand for, crude oil, natural gas, refined products and diluent in the markets served directly or indirectly by Partnership assets. Results of operations are impacted by our ability to:

utilize any remaining unused capacity on, or add additional capacity to, Partnership pipeline systems;
increase throughput volumes on Partnership pipeline systems by making connections to existing or new third-party pipelines or other facilities, primarily driven by the anticipated supply of and demand for crude oil, natural gas, refined products and diluent;
identify and execute organic expansion projects; and
increase throughput volumes via acquisitions.

Storage Utilization

Storage utilization is a metric that we use to evaluate the performance of our storage and terminalling assets. We define storage utilization as the percentage of the contracted capacity in barrels compared to the design capacity of the tank.

Operating Expenses and Total Maintenance Spend

Operating Expenses

Management seeks to maximize profitability by effectively managing operating expenses. These expenses are comprised primarily of labor expenses (including contractor services), general materials, supplies, minor maintenance, utility costs (including electricity and fuel) and insurance premiums. Utility costs fluctuate based on throughput volumes and the grades of crude oil and types of refined products we handle. Other operating expenses generally remain relatively stable across broad
24


ranges of throughput volumes but can fluctuate from period to period depending on the mix of activities performed during that period.

Total Maintenance Spend - Wholly-Owned Assets

We calculate Total Maintenance Spend as the sum of maintenance expenses and maintenance capital expenditures, excluding any reimbursable maintenance capital expenditures. We track these expenses on a combined basis because it is useful to understanding total maintenance requirements. Total Maintenance Spend for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, is shown in the table below:
Nine Months Ended September 30,
20212020
(in millions of dollars)
Wholly-Owned Assets
Maintenance expenses$2.7 $2.2 
Maintenance capital expenditures2.4 1.5 
Maintenance capital recovery(1)
(1.5)(0.7)
Total Maintenance Spend – Wholly-Owned Assets$3.6 $3.0 
(1)Relates to the portion of maintenance capital for the Griffith Station Incident reimbursable by insurance.

The Partnership seeks to maximize profitability by effectively managing maintenance expenses, which consist primarily of safety and environmental integrity programs. We seek to manage maintenance expenses on owned and operated pipelines by scheduling maintenance over time to avoid significant variability in maintenance expenses and minimize impact on cash flows, without compromising our commitment to safety and environmental stewardship.

Maintenance expenses represent the costs we incur that do not significantly extend the useful life or increase the expected output of property, plant and equipment. These expenses include pipeline repairs, replacements of immaterial sections of pipelines, inspections, equipment rentals and costs incurred to maintain compliance with existing safety and environmental standards, irrespective of the magnitude of such compliance expenses. Maintenance expenses may vary significantly from period to period because certain expenses are the result of scheduled safety and environmental integrity programs, which occur on a multi-year cycle and require substantial outlays.

Maintenance capital expenditures represent expenditures to sustain operating capacity or operating income over the long term. Examples of maintenance capital expenditures include expenditures made to purchase new or replacement assets or extend the useful life of existing assets. These expenditures includes repairs and replacements of storage tanks, replacements of significant sections of pipelines and improvements to an asset’s safety and environmental standards.

Adjusted EBITDA and Cash Available for Distribution

The Partnership defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income before net interest expense, income taxes, gain or loss from disposition of property, plant and equipment, and depreciation and amortization, plus cash distributed to the Partnership from equity method investments for the applicable period, less income from equity method investments. The Partnership defines Adjusted EBITDA attributable to the Partnership as Adjusted EBITDA less Adjusted EBITDA attributable to non-controlling interests. We present these financial measures because we believe replacing our proportionate share of our equity method investments’ net income with the cash received from such equity method investments more accurately reflects the cash flow from our business, which is meaningful to our investors.

We compute and present cash available for distribution and define it as Adjusted EBITDA attributable to the Partnership less maintenance capital expenditures attributable to the Partnership, net interest paid/received, cash reserves, income taxes paid and net adjustments from volume deficiency payments attributable to the Partnership. Cash available for distribution does not reflect changes in working capital balances.

Adjusted EBITDA and cash available for distribution are non-GAAP supplemental financial measures, which are metrics that management and external users of our consolidated financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies, may use to assess:

operating performance as compared to other publicly traded partnerships in the midstream energy industry, without regard to historical cost basis or financing methods;
25


ability to generate sufficient cash to support decisions to make distributions to our unitholders;
ability to incur and service debt and fund capital expenditures; and
viability of acquisitions and other capital expenditure projects and the returns on investment of various investment opportunities.

We believe that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA and cash available for distribution provides useful information to investors in assessing our financial condition and results of operations. The GAAP measures most directly comparable to Adjusted EBITDA and cash available for distribution are net income and net cash provided by operating activities, respectively. Adjusted EBITDA and cash available for distribution should not be considered as an alternative to GAAP net income or net cash provided by operating activities.

Adjusted EBITDA and cash available for distribution have important limitations as analytical tools because they exclude some but not all items that affect net income and net cash provided by operating activities. You should not consider Adjusted EBITDA or cash available for distribution in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Additionally, because Adjusted EBITDA and cash available for distribution may be defined differently by other companies in our industry, our definition of Adjusted EBITDA and cash available for distribution may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing its utility. Refer to “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures” section below for the reconciliation of net income and cash provided by operating activities to Adjusted EBITDA and cash available for distribution.

Factors Affecting Our Business

Partnership business can be negatively affected by sustained downturns or slow growth in the economy in general and is impacted by shifts in supply and demand dynamics, the mix of services requested by the customers of our pipelines, competition and changes in regulatory requirements affecting our customers’ operations. The ultimate magnitude and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic, resulting governmental restrictions on the mobility of consumers and the related impact on demand and the U.S. and global economy and capital markets is uncertain. As of the date of this Quarterly Report, all of our assets remain operational.

Customers

BP is our primary customer. Total revenue from BP represented 98.9% and 97.8% of our revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. Total revenue from BP represented 98.2% and 97.5% of our revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively. BP’s volumes represented approximately 98.1% and 95.7% of the aggregate total volumes transported on the Wholly-Owned Assets for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. BP’s volumes represented approximately 96.1% and 94.6% of the aggregate total volumes transported on the Wholly-Owned Assets for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively.

In addition, we transport and store crude oil, natural gas and diluent for a mix of third-party customers, including crude oil producers, refiners, marketers and traders, and Partnership assets are connected to other crude oil, natural gas and diluent pipeline systems. In addition to serving directly connected Midwestern U.S. and Gulf Coast markets, our pipelines have access to customers in various regions of the United States and Canada through interconnections with other major pipelines. Customers use our transportation and terminalling services for a variety of reasons. Producers of crude oil require the ability to deliver their product to market and frequently enter into firm transportation contracts to ensure that they will have sufficient capacity available to deliver their product to delivery points with greatest market liquidity. Marketers and traders generate income from buying and selling crude oil, natural gas, refined products and diluent to capitalize on price differentials over time or between markets. Our customer mix can vary over time and largely depends on the crude oil, natural gas, refined products and diluent supply and demand dynamics in our markets.

Regulation

Interstate common carrier pipelines are subject to regulation by various federal, state and local agencies including the FERC, the Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Transportation. On December 17, 2020, in Docket No. RM20-14-000, FERC issued an order establishing a new index level of PPI-FG plus 0.78% for the five-year period commencing July 1, 2021 ("December 2020 Order"). However, requests for rehearing of the December 2020 Order were filed with FERC, and those requests remain pending, with rehearing granted for purposes of extending the time FERC has to review these requests. FERC issued a notice on May 14, 2021, providing the final change in the PPI-FG that determines the oil pricing index factor to be applied for the index year starting July 1, 2021. The oil pricing index factor, utilizing the oil pricing index factor established in the December 2020 Order, resulted in a negative percent change for the index year July 1, 2021, through
26


June 30, 2022. A negative percent change means that the ceiling level for certain of an oil pipelines’ rates may decrease and, if the actual transportation rate would be above such ceiling level, the rate also must decrease to be equal to or less than the applicable ceiling. Accordingly, the Partnership and Mars Oil Pipeline Company, LLC filed to reduce their rates, effective July 1, 2021. FERC’s final application of its indexing rate methodology for the next five-year term of index rates will be determined based on the outcome of the requests for rehearing of the December 2020 Order, and any changes to FERC’s index level may impact our revenues associated with any transportation services we may provide pursuant to rates adjusted by the FERC oil pipeline index.

On May 27, 2021, the Department of Homeland Security’s Transportation Security Administration (“TSA”) announced Security Directive Pipeline-2021-01 that requires us, as a critical pipeline owner, to report confirmed and potential cybersecurity incidents to the DHS Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (“CISA”) and to designate a Cybersecurity Coordinator. It also requires BP Pipelines and the third-party operators of our assets to review current practices as well as to identify any gaps and related remediation measures to address cyber-related risks and report the results to TSA and CISA within 30 days. We designated a Cybersecurity Coordinator, developed a plan to comply with mandatory reporting timeframes and completed the vulnerability assessment required under this directive on June 25, 2021. On July 20, 2021, the TSA issued a second Security Directive. We have evaluated the impacts of this second directive to our pipeline business and have made significant progress in compliance.

Refer to Part I, Item 1 and 2, Business and Properties in the Partnership's 2020 10-K for additional information on federal, state and local regulations affecting our business.

Acquisition Opportunities

The Partnership plans to pursue acquisitions of complementary assets from BP as well as third parties subject to market conditions and our ability to obtain attractive financing. We may also pursue acquisitions jointly with BP Pipelines. BP Pipelines has granted us a right of first offer with respect to its retained ownership interest in Mardi Gras and all of its interests in midstream pipeline systems and assets related thereto in the contiguous United States and offshore Gulf of Mexico that were owned by BP Pipelines when we were established. Neither BP nor any of its affiliates are under any obligation, however, to sell or offer to sell us additional assets or to pursue acquisitions jointly with us, and we are under no obligation to buy any additional assets from them or to pursue any joint acquisitions with them. We will focus our acquisition strategy on transportation and midstream assets within the crude oil, natural gas and refined products sectors. We believe that we are well positioned to acquire midstream assets from BP, and particularly BP Pipelines, as well as third parties, should such opportunities arise. 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 the acquisitions we do make may reduce, rather than increase, our available cash.

Financing

We expect to fund future capital expenditures primarily from external sources, including borrowings under our credit facility and potential future issuances of equity and debt securities.

We intend to make cash distributions to unitholders at a minimum distribution rate of $0.2625 per unit per quarter ($1.05 per unit on an annualized basis). Based on the terms of our cash distribution policy, we expect that we will distribute to unitholders and the General Partner, as the holder of IDRs, most of the cash generated by operations.

Griffith Station Incident

On June 13, 2019, a building fire occurred at the Griffith Station on BP2. Management performed an evaluation of the assets and determined that an impairment was required. We have incurred $0.1 million and $0.3 million for response expense during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Reimbursable costs associated with the incident are offset with an insurance receivable, of which $2.5 million is outstanding under "Other current assets" on our condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. In the event that insurance proceeds exceed the receivable balance, such amounts would be recognized as a gain. Refer to Part II, Item 8, Note 13 - Commitments and Contingencies in the Partnership's 2020 10-K for additional information.

Capital Resources and Liquidity

Currently, we expect our primary ongoing sources of liquidity to be cash generated from operations (including distributions from our equity method investments), and, as needed, borrowings under our existing credit facility. The entities in which we own an interest may also incur debt. 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 and to make quarterly cash distributions.

Based upon current expectations for the fiscal year 2021, we believe that our cash on hand, cash flow from operations and borrowings available under our credit facility will be sufficient to fund our operations for 2021. As of September 30, 2021, our liquidity was $264.7 million, consisting of $132.7 million of cash and cash equivalents and $132.0 million available under our existing credit facility with BP. Our only outstanding indebtedness is $468.0 million borrowed under our term loan with an affiliate of BP, and there are no principal payments due until 2025.

Cash Distributions

The board of directors of our General Partner has adopted a cash distribution policy pursuant to which we intend to pay a minimum quarterly distribution of $0.2625 per unit per quarter, which equates to approximately $27.5 million per quarter, or $110.0 million per year in the aggregate, based on the number of common units outstanding as of September 30, 2021. We intend to pay such distributions to the extent we have sufficient cash after the establishment of cash reserves and the payment of expenses, including payments to our General Partner and its affiliates.

Subordinated Unit Conversion

On April 15, 2021, the Partnership declared a cash distribution of $0.3475 per limited partner unit to unitholders of record on April 29, 2021, for the three months ended March 31, 2021. All of the subordinated units were converted into common units on
32


February 12, 2021. As a result, on the date of record, there were no subordinated units outstanding, and therefore, no portion of the cash distribution was allocated to the limited partners' subordinated units. Refer to Note 8 - Net Income Per Limited Partner Unit for additional information.

Revolving Credit Facility

On October 30, 2017, the Partnership entered into a $600.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility agreement with an affiliate of BP. The credit facility terminates on October 30, 2022 and provides for certain covenants, including the requirement to maintain a consolidated leverage ratio, which is calculated as total indebtedness to consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the credit facility), not to exceed 5.0 to 1.0, subject to a temporary increase in such ratio to 5.5 to 1.0 in connection with certain material acquisitions. In addition, the limited liability company agreement of our General Partner requires the approval of BP Holdco prior to the incurrence of any indebtedness that would cause our leverage ratio to exceed 4.5 to 1.0.

The credit facility also contains customary events of default, such as (i) nonpayment of principal when due, (ii) nonpayment of interest, fees or other amounts, (iii) breach of covenants, (iv) misrepresentation, (v) cross-payment default and cross-acceleration (in each case, to indebtedness in excess of $75.0 million) and (vi) insolvency. Additionally, the credit facility limits our ability to, among other things: (i) incur or guarantee additional debt, (ii) redeem or repurchase units or make distributions under certain circumstances; and (iii) incur certain liens or permit them to exist. Indebtedness under this facility bears interest at the 3-month London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") plus 0.85%. This facility includes customary fees, including a commitment fee of 0.10% and a utilization fee of 0.20%.

In the fourth quarter of 2018, we borrowed $468.0 million from the credit facility. This amount was outstanding at December 31, 2019, and repaid on March 13, 2020 using funds from the Term Loan Facility Agreement.

Term Loan Facility Agreement

On February 24, 2020, the Partnership entered into a $468.0 million Term Loan Facility Agreement ("term loan") with an affiliate of BP. On March 13, 2020, proceeds were used to repay outstanding borrowings under the existing credit facility. The term loan has a final repayment date of February 24, 2025, and provides for certain covenants, including the requirement to maintain a consolidated leverage ratio, which is calculated as total indebtedness to consolidated EBITDA, not to exceed 5.0 to 1.0, subject to a temporary increase in such ratio to 5.5 to 1.0 in connection with certain material acquisitions. Simultaneous with this transaction, we entered into a First Amendment to Short Term Credit Facility Agreement ("First Amendment") whereby the lender added a provision that indebtedness under both the term loan and credit facility shall not exceed $600.0 million. All other terms of the credit facility remain the same. As of September 30, 2021, the Partnership was in compliance with the covenants contained in the credit facility and term loan.

Cash Flows from Operations

Operating Activities. We generated $142.1 million and $148.3 million in cash flow from operating activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The $6.2 million decrease in cash flows from operating activities was primarily due to a decrease in distributions of earnings received from equity method investments.

Investing Activities. Cash flow used by investing activities was $3.5 million and cash flows generated by investing activities was $6.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The $10.2 million decrease was due to a $11.2 million increase in capital expenditures, the absence of $1.3 million in proceeds from insurance claims, partially offset by a $2.3 million increase in distributions in excess of earnings from equity method investments.

Financing Activities. Cash flow used in financing activities was $132.8 million and $130.0 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The $2.8 million increase in cash outflow was due to higher distributions to non-controlling interests.

Capital Expenditures

Our operations can be capital intensive, requiring investment to expand, upgrade or enhance existing operations and to meet environmental and operational regulations. Our capital requirements consist of maintenance capital expenditures and expansion capital expenditures, both as defined in our partnership agreement. We are required to distinguish between maintenance capital expenditures and expansion capital expenditures in accordance with our Partnership agreement.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

As disclosed in Note 10 - Commitments and Contingencies in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the Partnership is a party to ongoing legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business, and the disclosure set forth in that footnote relating to certain legal proceedings is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 1A. RISK FACTORS

The Partnership is subject to various risks and uncertainties in the course of business. Security holders and potential investors in the Partnership's securities should carefully consider the risk factors set forth below and set forth under “Risk Factors” in the Partnership's 2020 10-K.

Compliance with and changes in cybersecurity requirements has a cost impact on our business, and failure to comply with such laws and regulations could have an impact on our assets, costs, revenue generation and growth opportunities.

In the second quarter of 2021, the Department of Homeland Security’s Transportation Security Administration (“TSA”) announced two new security directives. These directives require critical pipeline owners to comply with mandatory reporting measures and provide vulnerability assessments. We may be required to expend significant additional resources to respond to cyberattacks, to continue to modify or enhance our protective measures, or to assess, investigate and remediate any critical infrastructure security vulnerabilities. Any failure to remain in compliance with these government regulations may results in enforcement actions which may have a material adverse effect on our business and operations.

Our business could be negatively impacted by cyberattacks targeting our computer and telecommunications systems and infrastructure, or targeting those of our third-party service providers.

Our business, like other companies in the oil and gas industry, has become increasingly dependent on digital technologies, including technologies that are managed by third-party service providers on whom we rely to help us collect, host or process information. Such technologies are integrated into our business operations and used as a part of our production and distribution systems in the U.S. and abroad, including those systems used to transport production to market, to enable communications and to provide a host of other support services for our business. Use of the internet and other public networks for communications, services and storage, including “cloud” computing, exposes all users (including our business) to cybersecurity risks.

While BP and our third-party service providers commit resources to the design, implementation and monitoring of our information systems, there is no guarantee that our security measures will provide absolute security. Despite these security measures, BP may not be able to anticipate, detect, or prevent cyberattacks, particularly because the methodologies used by attackers change frequently or may not be recognized until launched, and because attackers are increasingly using techniques designed to circumvent controls and avoid detection. BP and our third-party service providers may therefore be vulnerable to security events that are beyond our control, and we may be the target of cyber-attacks, as well as physical attacks, which could result in information security breaches and significant disruption to our business. Such data breaches and cyberattacks could compromise our operational or other capabilities and cause significant damage to our business and our reputation.

BP information systems have experienced threats to the security of our digital infrastructure, but none of these have had a significant impact on our business, operations or reputation relating to such attacks. BP maintains a 24/7 dedicated security operations center to anticipate, detect and prevent cyberattacks; however, there is no assurance that we will not suffer such losses or breaches in the future.

As cyberattacks continue to evolve, we may be required to expend significant additional resources to respond to cyberattacks, to continue to modify or enhance our protective measures, or to investigate and remediate any information systems and related infrastructure security vulnerabilities. We may also be subject to regulatory investigations or litigation relating from cybersecurity issues.

Hurricanes and other severe weather conditions, natural disasters or other adverse events or conditions could damage our pipeline systems or disrupt the operations of our customers, which could adversely affect our operations and financial condition.

The operations of our offshore pipelines could be impacted by severe weather conditions or natural disasters, including hurricanes, or other adverse events or conditions. Additionally, such adverse events or conditions could impact our customers,
35


and they may be unable to utilize our pipeline systems. The susceptibility of our assets to storm damage could be aggravated by wetland and barrier island erosion. In addition, neither we nor the entities in which we own an interest that own these offshore pipeline systems carry named windstorm insurance for any of our offshore pipeline systems. Weather-related risks could have a material adverse effect on our ability to continue operations and on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

For example, during the third quarter of 2021, the operations of our offshore pipelines were adversely affected by Hurricane Ida, resulting in a reduction of approximately $8 million to $10 million to our cash available for distribution during the third quarter of 2021 relative to our financial outlook. Such events have been, and may in the future be material and may cause a serious business disruption or serious damage to our pipeline systems which could affect such systems’ ability to transport crude oil and natural gas. Additionally, such severe weather conditions may be exacerbated by climate change.

There can be no assurances that we will enter into a definitive agreement with BP Pipelines related to BP Pipelines’ proposal to acquire all of our Common Units that it does not already own, or that we will complete any transaction contemplated by such an agreement.

On August 4, 2021, the board of directors of our General Partner received a non-binding preliminary proposal letter from BP Pipelines, through its wholly-owned subsidiary BP Midstream Partners Holdings LLC, to acquire all of our issued and outstanding common units not already owned by BP Pipelines or its affiliates (the "Proposal"). While the Conflicts Committee has been engaged by our General Partner to evaluate the Proposal and any potential transaction with BP Pipelines related to the Proposal (the “Potential Transaction”), there can be no assurances that we will enter into a definitive agreement with BP Pipelines related to any Potential Transaction. Furthermore, should we enter into a definitive agreement with BP Pipelines, we anticipate that the consummation of any Potential Transaction will be subject to a number of conditions, and there can be no assurances that such conditions will be satisfied or waived or that any Potential Transaction will be completed in a timely manner or at all.
