EXPLANATORY NOTE

PBF Logistics LP (“PBFX” or the “Partnership”) is a Delaware limited partnership formed in February 2013. PBF Logistics GP LLC (“PBF GP” or “our general partner”) serves as the general partner of PBFX. PBF GP is wholly-owned by PBF Energy Company LLC (“PBF LLC”). PBF Energy Inc. (“PBF Energy”) is the sole managing member of PBF LLC and, as of September 30, 2016, owned 95.2% of the total economic interest in PBF LLC. In addition, PBF LLC is the sole managing member of PBF Holding Company LLC (“PBF Holding”), a Delaware limited liability company and affiliate of PBFX. PBF LLC holds a 44.2% limited partner interest in PBFX and owns all of PBFX’s incentive distribution rights (“IDRs”), with the remaining 55.8% limited partner interest owned by public unitholders as of September 30, 2016.
Unless the context otherwise requires, references in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Form 10-Q”) to “Predecessor,” and “we,” “our,” “us,” or like terms, when used in the context of periods prior to PBFX's initial public offering, which closed on May 14, 2014 (the “Offering”), refer to PBF MLP Predecessor, our predecessor for accounting purposes, which includes assets, liabilities and results of operations of certain crude oil and refined product transportation, terminaling and storage assets, previously operated and owned by PBF Holding’s subsidiaries, Delaware City Refining Company LLC (“DCR”), Toledo Refining Company LLC (“TRC”), and PBF Holding’s previously held subsidiary, Delaware Pipeline Company LLC (“DPC”). As of September 30, 2016, PBF Holding, together with its subsidiaries, owns and operates five oil refineries and related facilities in North America. PBF Energy, through its ownership of PBF LLC, controls all of the business and affairs of PBFX and PBF Holding.

PBFX’s initial assets consisted of the Delaware City Rail Unloading Terminal (“DCR Rail Terminal”), which was part of PBF Holding’s Delaware City, Delaware refinery, and the Toledo Truck Unloading Terminal (“Toledo Truck Terminal”), which was part of PBF Holding’s Toledo, Ohio refinery, which together with the DCR Rail Terminal, we refer to as the “IPO Assets”. On September 30, 2014, the Partnership acquired from PBF LLC the Delaware City West Heavy Unloading Rack (the “DCR West Rack”), a heavy crude oil rail unloading facility at the Delaware City refinery with total throughput capacity of at least 40,000 barrels per day (“bpd”). On December 11, 2014, the Partnership acquired from PBF LLC a tank farm and related facilities located at PBF Holding’s Toledo refinery, including a propane storage and loading facility (the “Toledo Storage Facility”). On May 14, 2015, the Partnership acquired from PBF LLC a 23.4 mile, 16-inch interstate petroleum products pipeline with capacity in excess of 125,000 bpd (the “Delaware City Products Pipeline”) and a 15-lane, 76,000 bpd capacity truck loading rack (the “Delaware City Truck Rack”) located at PBF Holding’s Delaware City, Delaware refinery. The Delaware City Products Pipeline and the Delaware City Truck Rack are collectively referred to as the “Delaware City Products Pipeline and Truck Rack.” On August 31, 2016, the Partnership, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, PBFX Operating Company LP (“PBFX Op Co”), acquired from PBF LLC a 50% equity interest in Torrance Valley Pipeline Company LLC (“TVPC”), which owns the 189-mile San Joaquin Valley Pipeline system with capacity of approximately 110,000 bpd (the “Torrance Valley Pipeline”), which supports PBF Holding's Torrance refinery (the “TVPC Acquisition”). The Torrance Valley Pipeline consists of the M55, M1 and M70 pipeline systems, including 11 pipeline stations with storage capacity and truck unloading capability at two of the stations. The transactions entered into with PBF LLC after the Offering are collectively referred to as “Acquisitions from PBF.” The Acquisitions from PBF were transfers between entities under common control. Accordingly, the financial information of the Predecessor and the Partnership contained herein have been retrospectively adjusted to include the historical results of the Acquisitions from PBF for all periods presented prior to the effective date of each transaction.
On April 29, 2016, the Partnership’s wholly-owed subsidiary, PBF Logistics Products Terminals LLC (“PLPT”), purchased four refined product terminals (the “East Coast Terminals”) from an affiliate of Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. (the “Plains Asset Purchase”). PBFX accounted for the Plains Asset Purchase as a business combination under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) whereby the Partnership recognizes assets acquired and liabilities assumed in an acquisition at their estimated fair values as of the date of acquisition.
References in this Form 10-Q to “PBF Logistics LP,” “PBFX,” the “Partnership” and “we,” “our,” “us,” or like terms used in the context of periods on or after May 14, 2014, refer to PBF Logistics LP and its subsidiaries.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Form 10-Q (including information incorporated by reference) contains certain “forward-looking statements,” as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, of expected future developments that involve risks and uncertainties. You can identify forward-looking statements because they contain words such as “believes,” “expects,” “may,” “should,” “seeks,” “approximately,” “intends,” “plans,” “estimates,” or “anticipates” or similar expressions that relate to our strategy, plans or intentions. All statements we make relating to our estimated and projected earnings, margins, costs, expenditures, cash flows, growth rates and financial results or to our expectations regarding future industry trends are forward-looking statements. In addition, we, through our senior management, from time to time make forward-looking public statements concerning our expected future operations and performance and other developments. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that may change at any time, and, therefore, our actual results may differ materially from those that we expected. We derive many of our forward-looking statements from our operating budgets and forecasts, which are based upon many detailed assumptions. While we believe that our assumptions are reasonable, we caution that it is very difficult to predict the impact of known factors, and, of course, it is impossible for us to anticipate all factors that could affect our actual results.
Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations, which we refer to as “cautionary statements,” are disclosed under “Item 1A. Risk Factors”, “Management’s Discussion and


3



Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and elsewhere in this Form 10-Q, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, which we refer to as our 2015 Form 10-K, and in our other filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). All forward-looking information in this Form 10-Q and subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us, or persons acting on our behalf, are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements. Some of the factors that we believe could affect our results include:
our limited operating history as a separate public partnership;
changes in general economic conditions;
our ability to make, complete and integrate acquisitions from affiliates or third parties;
our ability to have sufficient cash from operations to enable us to pay the minimum quarterly distribution;
competitive conditions in our industry;
actions taken by our customers and competitors;
the supply of, and demand for, crude oil, refined products and logistics services;
our ability to successfully implement our business plan;
our dependence on PBF Energy for a substantial majority of our revenues, which subjects us to the business risks of PBF Energy;
a substantial majority of our revenue is generated at three of PBF Energy’s facilities, and any adverse development at any of these facilities could have a material adverse effect on us;
our ability to complete internal growth projects on time and on budget;
our ability to make, complete and integrate acquisitions from affiliates or third parties, including the recently completed Plains Asset Purchase and TVPC Acquisition, and to realize the benefits from such acquisitions;
the price and availability of debt and equity financing;
operating hazards and other risks incidental to handling crude oil and petroleum products;
natural disasters, weather-related delays, casualty losses and other matters beyond our control;
interest rates;
labor relations;
changes in the availability and cost of capital;
the effects of existing and future laws and governmental regulations, including those related to the shipment of crude oil by trains;
changes in insurance markets impacting costs and the level and types of coverage available;
the timing and extent of changes in commodity prices and demand for PBF Energy’s refined products and the differential in the prices of different crude oils;
the suspension, reduction or termination of PBF Energy’s obligations under our commercial agreements;
disruptions due to equipment interruption or failure at our facilities, PBF Energy’s facilities or third-party facilities on which our business is dependent;
incremental costs as a separate public partnership;
our general partner and its affiliates, including PBF Energy, have conflicts of interest with us and limited duties to us and our unitholders, and they may favor their own interests to the detriment of us and our other common unitholders;
our partnership agreement restricts the remedies available to holders of our common units for actions taken by our general partner that might otherwise constitute breaches of fiduciary duty;


4



holders of our common units have limited voting rights and are not entitled to elect our general partner or its directors;
our tax treatment depends on our status as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as well as our not being subject to a material amount of entity level taxation by individual states;
changes at any time (including on a retroactive basis) in the tax treatment of publicly traded partnerships, including related impacts on potential dropdown transactions with PBF LLC, or an investment in our common units;
our unitholders will be required to pay taxes on their share of our taxable income even if they do not receive any cash distributions from us;
the effects of future litigation; and
other factors discussed elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.
We caution you that the foregoing list of important factors may not contain all of the material factors that are important to you. In addition, in light of these risks and uncertainties, the matters referred to in the forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-Q may not in fact occur. Accordingly, investors should not place undue reliance on those statements.
Our forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this Form 10-Q. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, we undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the foregoing.

(IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT BARREL, PER BARREL, UNIT AND PER UNIT DATA)


1. DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
PBF Logistics LP (“PBFX” or the “Partnership”) is a Delaware limited partnership formed in February 2013. PBF Logistics GP LLC (“PBF GP” or “our general partner”) serves as the general partner of PBFX. PBF GP is wholly-owned by PBF Energy Company LLC (“PBF LLC”). PBF Energy Inc. (“PBF Energy”) is the sole managing member of PBF LLC and, as of September 30, 2016, owned 95.2% of the total economic interest in PBF LLC. In addition, PBF LLC is the sole managing member of PBF Holding Company LLC (“PBF Holding”), a Delaware limited liability company and affiliate of PBFX. PBF LLC holds a 44.2% limited partner interest in PBFX and owns all of PBFX’s incentive distribution rights (“IDR”), with the remaining 55.8% limited partner interest owned by public unitholders as of September 30, 2016.
PBFX engages in the receiving, handling, storage and transferring of crude oil, refined products and intermediates. The Partnership does not take ownership of or receive any payments based on the value of the crude oil, products or intermediates that it handles and does not engage in the trading of any commodities. PBFX’s assets are integral to the operations of PBF Holding’s refineries located in Toledo, Ohio, Delaware City, Delaware, Paulsboro, New Jersey and Torrance, California.
On April 29, 2016, the Partnership’s wholly-owned subsidiary, PBF Logistics Products Terminals LLC (“PLPT”), purchased four refined product terminals (the “East Coast Terminals”), from an affiliate of Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. (the “Plains Asset Purchase”) for an aggregate purchase price of $100,000, less a preliminary estimate for working capital adjustments. This acquisition was accounted for as a business combination under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). See Note 2 in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Form 10-Q”) for further discussion regarding the Plains Asset Purchase.
On August 31, 2016, the Partnership, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, PBFX Operating Company LP (“PBFX Op Co”), acquired from PBF LLC a 50% equity interest in Torrance Valley Pipeline Company LLC (“TVPC”) for an aggregate purchase price of $175,000 (the “TVPC Acquisition”). TVPC owns the 189-mile San Joaquin Valley Pipeline system (the “Torrance Valley Pipeline”), which supports PBF Holding's Torrance refinery. The Torrance Valley Pipeline consists of the M55, M1 and M70 pipeline systems, including pipeline stations with storage capacity and truck unloading capability. This acquisition is accounted for as a transfer of assets between entities under common control under U.S. GAAP. See Note 2 in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Form 10-Q”) for further discussion regarding the TVPC Acquisition.
On April 5, 2016, PBFX completed a public offering of an aggregate of 2,875,000 common units, including 375,000 common units that were sold pursuant to the full exercise by the underwriter of its option to purchase additional common units, for net proceeds of $51,575, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering expenses (the “April 2016 Offering”).
On August 17, 2016, PBFX completed a public offering of an aggregate of 4,000,000 common units, including the underwriter's option to purchase an additional 600,000 common units, of which 375,000 units were subsequently purchased on September 14, 2016, for total net proceeds of $86,680, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering expenses (the “August 2016 Offering”).
Subsequent to the Partnership’s initial public offering (the “Offering”), the Acquisitions from PBF (as defined below) and the Plains Asset Purchase, the Partnership continues to generate a substantial majority of its revenue from transactions with PBF Holding.
Principles of Combination and Consolidation and Basis of Presentation
In connection with the Offering, PBF LLC contributed the assets, liabilities and results of operations of certain crude oil terminaling assets to the Partnership. The assets consisted of the Delaware City Rail Unloading Terminal (“DCR Rail Terminal”), which included a double loop track and ancillary pumping and unloading equipment, and the Toledo Truck Unloading Terminal (“Toledo Truck Terminal”), which included lease automatic custody transfer (“LACT”) units.

Subsequent to the Offering, the Partnership acquired from PBF LLC the Delaware City West Heavy Unloading Rack (the “DCR West Rack”), a heavy crude oil rail unloading facility at the Delaware City refinery, a tank farm and related facilities, which included a propane storage and loading facility (the “Toledo Storage Facility”), an interstate petroleum products pipeline and truck loading rack (the “Delaware City Products Pipeline and Truck Rack”) and the Torrance Valley Pipeline. These transactions are collectively referred to as the “Acquisitions from PBF.” Subsequent to the Acquisitions from PBF, the DCR Rail Terminal, the Toledo Truck Terminal, the DCR West Rack, the Toledo Storage Facility, the Delaware City Products Pipeline and Truck Rack and the Torrance Valley Pipeline are collectively referred to as the “Contributed Assets.” The assets, liabilities and results of operations of the Contributed Assets prior to their acquisition by PBFX are collectively referred to as the “Predecessor”. The transactions through which PBFX acquired the Contributed Assets were transfers of assets between entities under common control. Accordingly, the accompanying condensed combined consolidated financial statements and related notes present the results of operations and cash flow of our Predecessor for all periods presented prior to the effective date of each transaction. The financial statements of our Predecessor have been prepared from the separate records maintained by PBF and may not necessarily be indicative of the conditions that would have existed or the results of operations if the Predecessor had been operated as an unaffiliated entity. See the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 (the “2015 Form 10-K”) for additional information regarding the Acquisitions from PBF and the commercial agreements and amendments to other agreements with related parties in connection with these acquisitions, and Note 2 in this Form 10-Q for further discussion regarding the TVPC Acquisition.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, PBFX has included all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and the results of operations and cash flows of PBFX and the Predecessor, as applicable, for the periods presented. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.
The Predecessor did not historically operate its respective assets for the purpose of generating revenues independent of other PBF Energy businesses prior to the Offering or for assets acquired in the Acquisitions from PBF, with the exception of the Delaware City Products Pipeline, prior to the effective dates of each transaction. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Product Imbalances
The Partnership incurs product imbalances as a result of variances in tank storage meter readings and volume fluctuations within the East Coast Terminals. The Partnership uses a year-to-date weighted average market price to value our assets and liabilities related to product imbalances. Product imbalance liabilities are included in “Accounts payable and accrued liabilities” and product imbalance assets are included in “Prepaid expenses and other current assets” in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. For the period ended September 30, 2016, the imbalances resulted in an immaterial amount included in Prepaid expenses and other current assets.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, “Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“ASU 2016-01”), which amends how entities measure equity investments that do not result in consolidation and are not accounted for under the equity method and how they present changes in the fair value of financial liabilities measured under the fair value option that are attributable to their own credit. ASU 2016-01 also changes certain disclosure requirements and other aspects of current U.S. GAAP but does not change the guidance for classifying and measuring investments in debt securities and loans. Under ASU 2016-01, this guidance becomes effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted in certain

(IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT BARREL, PER BARREL, UNIT AND PER UNIT DATA)


circumstances. The Partnership does not currently have any investments accounted for under the equity method but will apply this new standard should it acquire any such investments.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)” (“ASU 2016-02”), to increase the transparency and comparability about leases among entities. The new guidance requires lessees to recognize a lease liability and a corresponding lease asset for virtually all lease contracts.  It also requires additional disclosures about leasing arrangements. ASU 2016-02 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and requires a modified retrospective approach to adoption. Early adoption is permitted. The Partnership is currently evaluating the impact of this new standard on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-06, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) Contingent Put and Call Options in Debt Instruments a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force” (“ASU 2016-06”), to increase consistency in practice in applying guidance on determining if an embedded derivative is clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics of the host contract, specifically for assessing whether call (put) options that can accelerate the repayment of principal on a debt instrument meet the clearly and closely related criterion. The guidance in ASU 2016-06 applies to all entities that are issuers of or investors in debt instruments (or hybrid financial instruments that are determined to have a debt host) with embedded call (put) options. ASU 2016-06 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and requires a modified retrospective approach to adoption. Early adoption is permitted. The Partnership is currently evaluating the impact of this new standard on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” (“ASU 2016-13”) which requires that credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities should be measured in a manner similar to current U.S. GAAP. However, the amendments in ASU 2016-13 require that credit losses be presented as an allowance rather than as a write-down. ASU 2016-13 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and requires a modified retrospective approach to adoption. Early adoption is permitted for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Partnership is currently evaluating the impact of this new standard on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments” (“ASU 2016-15”), which reduces the existing diversity in practice in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows under Topic 230. ASU 2016-15 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Partnership is currently evaluating the impact of this new standard on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-16, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory” (“ASU 2016-16”), which reduces the existing diversity in practice in how income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory should be recognized. The amendments in ASU 2016-16 require an entity to recognize such income tax consequences when the intra-entity transfer occurs rather than waiting until such time as the asset has been sold to an outside party. The amendments do not contain any new disclosure requirements but point out that certain existing income tax disclosures might be applicable in the period an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory occurs. ASU 2016-16 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an annual reporting period for which interim or annual statements have not been issued. The Partnership is currently evaluating the impact of this new standard on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-17, "Consolidation (Topic 810): Interests Held through Related Parties That Are under Common Control" ("ASU 2016-2017"), which amends the consolidation guidance on how a reporting entity that is the single decision maker of a variable interest entity (“VIE”) should treat indirect interests in the entity held through related parties that are under common control with the reporting entity when


11

PBF LOGISTICS LP

(IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT BARREL, PER BARREL, UNIT AND PER UNIT DATA)


determining whether it is the primary beneficiary of that VIE. The amendments in this ASU do not change the characteristics of a primary beneficiary in current GAAP. The amendments in this ASU require that reporting entity, in determining whether it satisfies the second characteristic of a primary beneficiary, to include all of its direct variable interests in a VIE and, on a proportionate basis, its indirect variable interests in a VIE held through related parties, including related parties that are under common control with the reporting entity. ASU 2016-2017 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Partnership is currently evaluating the impact of this new standard on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

2. ACQUISITIONS

Plains Asset Purchase
On April 29, 2016, the Partnership’s wholly-owned subsidiary, PLPT, completed the Plains Asset Purchase. The East Coast Terminals, located in and around Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, include product tanks, pipeline connections to the Colonial Pipeline Company, Buckeye Partners, Sunoco Logistics Partners and other proprietary pipeline systems, truck loading lanes and marine facilities capable of handling barges and ships.
The aggregate purchase price for the Plains Asset Purchase was $100,000, less a preliminary estimate for working capital adjustments, which is subject to final purchase price valuation and working capital adjustments. The consideration was funded by the Partnership with $98,336 in proceeds from the sale of marketable securities. The Partnership borrowed an additional $98,500 under its Revolving Credit Facility (as defined in Note 4), which was used to repay $98,336 of its Term Loan (as defined in Note 4) in order to release $98,336 in marketable securities that had collateralized the Term Loan. Subsequent to the closing of the Plains Asset Purchase, the Partnership recorded an adjustment to the preliminary estimate for working capital of $37 as an increase to Prepaid expenses and other current assets.
PBFX accounted for the Plains Asset Purchase as a business combination under U.S. GAAP whereby the Partnership recognizes assets acquired and liabilities assumed in an acquisition at their estimated fair values as of the date of acquisition. The final purchase price and its allocation are dependent on final reconciliations of working capital and other items subject to agreement by both parties.
The total purchase consideration and the estimated fair values of the assets and liabilities at the acquisition date were as follows:

TVPC Acquisition

On August 31, 2016, the Partnership entered into a contribution agreement with PBF LLC (the “Contribution Agreement”). Pursuant to the Contribution Agreement, the Partnership, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, PBFX Op Co, acquired from PBF LLC, 50% of the issued and outstanding limited liability company interests of TVPC, whose assets consist of the Torrance Valley Pipeline, which supports PBF Holding's Torrance refinery. The Torrance Valley Pipeline consists of the M55, M1 and M70 pipeline systems, including pipeline stations with storage capacity and truck unloading capability.

Total consideration paid to PBF LLC was $175,000. The consideration was funded by the Partnership with $20,000 of cash on hand, $76,200 in proceeds from the sale of marketable securities, and $78,800 in net proceeds from the August 2016 Equity Offering. The Partnership borrowed an additional $76,200 under its Revolving Credit Facility (as defined in Note 4), which was used to repay $76,200 of its Term Loan (as defined in Note 4) in order to release $76,200 in marketable securities that had collateralized the Term Loan.

As the TVPC Acquisition was considered a transfer of businesses between entities under common control, the TVPC assets and liabilities were transferred at their historical carrying value, whose net value was $345,989 as of August 31, 2016, of which 50% was allocated to noncontrolling interest in equity (“NCI”). The Torrance Valley Pipeline was acquired by PBF Energy on July 1, 2016 in connection with the acquisition of the Torrance refinery and related logistical assets and was not operated by PBF Energy prior to its acquisition. Accordingly, the financial information contained herein of PBFX has been adjusted in the current quarter, with 50% of net income of TVPC allocated to NCI, to include the historical results of the Torrance Valley Pipeline prior to the acquisition by PBFX from July 1, 2016 through August 31, 2016. Net income attributable to the TVPC Acquisition prior to the effective date was allocated entirely to PBF GP as if only PBF GP had rights to that net loss, therefore there is no retrospective adjustment to net income per unit.

PBFX's condensed consolidated financial statements include TVPC, a variable interest entity with the interest in TVPC not owned by PBFX reflected as a reduction to net income and equity as a noncontrolling interest. In accordance with the Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of TVPC (the “TVPC LLC Agreement”), PBFX Op Co, PBFX’s wholly-owned subsidiary, serves as TVPC's managing member. PBFX, through its ownership of PBFX Op Co, has the sole ability to direct the activities of TVPC that most significantly impact its economic performance. PBFX is also considered to be the primary beneficiary for accounting purposes

and as a result fully consolidates TVPC. TVPC provides transportation and storage services to PBFX, primarily under fee-based contracts. TVPC's creditors have no recourse to the assets of PBFX other than those of TVPC. See footnote 12 for carrying amounts and classification of TVPC's assets and liabilities in the statement of financial position.

The following tables present the Partnership's statement of operations after giving effect to the TVPC Acquisition. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively, the results of TVPC prior to the TVPC Acquisition are included under “Torrance Valley Pipeline Company LLC”. Results of TVPC subsequent to the acquisition are included in “PBF Logistics LP.” The statement of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 has not been retrospectively adjusted, as PBF Energy did not acquire TVPC as part of the acquisition ofr the Torrance refinery and related logistics assets until July 1, 2016.

(b) PBFX’s three year $300,000 term loan facility with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent, and a syndicate of lenders (the “Term Loan”) matures in May 2017 and has been classified as current on the balance sheet as of September 30, 2016. Additionally, Marketable securities have also been classified as current on the balance sheet as of September 30, 2016 as these securities collateralize the Term Loan.

Plains Asset Purchase
In connection with the Plains Asset Purchase, the Partnership borrowed an additional $98,500 under its Revolving Credit Facility, which was used to repay $98,336 of its Term Loan in order to release $98,336 in marketable securities that had collateralized the Term Loan.

(IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT BARREL, PER BARREL, UNIT AND PER UNIT DATA)


TVPC Acquisition

In connection with the TVPC Acquisition, the Partnership borrowed an additional $76,200 under its Revolving Credit Facility, which was used to repay $76,200 of its Term Loan in order to release $76,200 in marketable securities that had collateralized the Term Loan.

Fair Value Measurement
A fair value hierarchy (Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3) is used to categorize fair value amounts based on the quality of inputs used to measure fair value. Accordingly, fair values derived from Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Fair values derived from Level 2 inputs are based on quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs other than quoted prices that are either directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability.
Debt or equity securities are classified into the following reporting categories: held-to-maturity, trading or available-for-sale securities. While PBFX does not routinely sell marketable securities prior to their scheduled maturity dates, some of PBFX’s investments may be held and restricted for the purpose of funding future capital expenditures and acquisitions. Such investments are classified as available-for-sale marketable securities as they may occasionally be sold prior to their scheduled maturity dates due to the unexpected timing of cash needs. The carrying value of these marketable securities approximates fair value and is measured using Level 1 inputs. The terms of the marketable securities range from one to three months and are classified on the balance sheet as current assets. The gross unrecognized holding gains and losses as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 were not material. As of September 30, 2016, these investments are used as collateral to secure the Partnership’s obligations under its Term Loan and are intended to be used only to fund future capital expenditures.
The estimated fair values of the Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan approximate their carrying values, categorized as a Level 2 measurement, as these borrowings bear interest based upon short-term floating market interest rates. The estimated fair value of the Partnership’s 6.875% Senior Notes due 2023 (“2023 Notes”), categorized as a Level 2 measurement, was calculated based on the present value of future expected payments utilizing implied current market interest rates based on quoted prices of the 2023 Notes and was approximately $339,989 and $321,722 at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. The carrying value and fair value of PBFX’s debt, exclusive of unamortized debt issuance costs, was approximately $578,864 and $568,853 as of September 30, 2016 and $608,700 and $580,422 as of December 31, 2015, respectively.

5. EQUITY
PBFX had 23,270,397 common units held by the public outstanding as of September 30, 2016. PBF Energy owns 2,572,944 of PBFX’s common units and 15,886,553 of PBFX’s subordinated units constituting an aggregate of 44.2% of PBFX’s limited partner interest. In accordance with PBFX’s partnership agreement, PBF Energy’s subordinated units will convert into common units on a one-for-one basis once PBFX has met specified distribution targets and successfully completed other tests set forth in PBFX’s partnership agreement.

Issuance of Additional Interests
PBFX’s partnership agreement authorizes PBFX to issue an unlimited number of additional partnership interests for consideration and on the terms and conditions determined by PBFX’s general partner without the approval of the unitholders. On May 14, 2015, PBFX partially funded the Delaware City Products Pipeline and Truck Rack acquisition with $30,500 of Partnership common units, or 1,288,420 common units.
The Partnership completed the April 2016 offering on April 5, 2016 and the August 2016 Offering on August 17, 2016. It is possible that PBFX will fund future acquisitions through the issuance of additional common units, subordinated units or other partnership interests.

Additionally, 115,224 and 85,757 of the Partnership’s phantom units issued under the PBFX 2014 Long-Term Incentive Plan (“LTIP”) vested and were converted into common units held by certain of PBF GP’s current and former management and directors during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.
Holders of any additional common units PBFX issues will be entitled to share equally with the then-existing common unitholders in PBFX’s distributions of available cash. 

Noncontrolling Interest

Allocations of Net Income
PBFX’s partnership agreement contains provisions for the allocation of net income and loss to the unitholders. For purposes of maintaining partner capital accounts, PBFX’s partnership agreement specifies that items of income and loss shall be allocated among the partners in accordance with their respective percentage interest. Normal allocations according to percentage interests are made after giving effect, if any, to priority income allocations in an amount equal to incentive cash distributions allocated 100% to PBF LLC.

Cash distributions
PBFX’s partnership agreement, as amended, sets forth the calculation to be used to determine the amount and priority of cash distributions that the common and subordinated unitholders and general partner will receive. On March 8, 2016, the Partnership paid a quarterly cash distribution, based on the results of the fourth quarter of 2015, totaling $14,680, or $0.41 per unit, to unitholders of record on February 22, 2016. On May 31, 2016 the Partnership paid a quarterly cash distribution, based on the results of the first quarter of 2016, totaling $16,419, or $0.42 per unit, to unitholders of record on May 13, 2016. On August 23, 2016 the Partnership paid a quarterly cash distribution, based on the results of the second quarter of 2016, totaling $16,944, or $0.43 per unit, to unitholders of record on August 9, 2016.
The allocation of total quarterly cash distributions to general and limited partners, in the table below, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, is as follows. The Partnership’s distributions are declared subsequent to quarter end (distributions of $0.44 and $0.39 per unit declared for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, $0.43 and $0.37 per unit declared for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and $0.42 and $0.35 per unit declared for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively); therefore, the table represents total cash distributions applicable to the period in which the distributions are earned:

(1) Excludes phantom unit distributions which are accrued and paid upon vesting.  

6. UNIT-BASED COMPENSATION
PBF GP’s board of directors adopted the LTIP in connection with the completion of the Offering. The LTIP is for the benefit of employees, consultants, service providers and non-employee directors of the general partner and its affiliates.
Under the LTIP, PBFX issues phantom unit awards to certain directors, officers and seconded employees of our general partner or its affiliates as compensation. The fair value of each phantom unit on the grant date is equal to the market price of PBFX’s common units on that date. The estimated fair value of PBFX’s phantom units is amortized over the vesting period of four years, using the straight-line method.
Unit-based compensation expense related to the Partnership that was included in general and administrative expense in the Partnership’s condensed consolidated statements of operations was $963 and $3,673 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively, and $815 and $2,428 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively.
In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, unit-based compensation expense includes $0 and $1,123 of expense associated with the accelerated vesting of phantom units in accordance with grant agreements related to the retirement of certain of PBF GP’s officers, respectively. In the three and nine months ended September

(IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT BARREL, PER BARREL, UNIT AND PER UNIT DATA)


30, 2015, $0 and $510 of unit-based compensation expense was associated with the accelerated vesting of such phantom units, respectively.

7. NET INCOME PER UNIT
Earnings in excess of distributions are allocated to the limited partners based on their respective percentage interests. Payments made to PBFX’s unitholders are determined in relation to actual distributions declared and are not based on the net income (loss) allocations used in the calculation of net income (loss) per unit.
Diluted net income per unit includes the effects of potentially dilutive units of PBFX’s common units that consist of unvested phantom units. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, there were 257,104 and 521,130 anti-dilutive phantom units, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, there were 454,625 anti-dilutive phantom units. Basic and diluted net income per unit applicable to subordinated limited partners are the same because there are no potentially dilutive subordinated units outstanding.
In addition to the common and subordinated units, PBFX has also identified the general partner interest and incentive distribution rights as participating securities 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. The Partnership issued 1,288,420 common units in 2015 to PBF LLC in conjunction with the Delaware City Products Pipeline and Truck Rack acquisition, 2,875,000 common units in April 2016 in connection with the April 2016 Offering and 4,000,000 units in August 2016 and 375,000 units in September 2016 in connection with the August 2016 Offering.
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 has been or will be distributed to the general partner, limited partners, and IDR holders for that reporting period. The following table shows the calculation of earnings less distributions:

PBF LOGISTICS LP
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT BARREL, PER BARREL, UNIT AND PER UNIT DATA)


Environmental Matters
PBFX’s assets, along with PBF Energy’s refineries, are subject to extensive and frequently changing federal, state and local laws and regulations, including, but not limited to, those relating to the discharge of materials into the environment or that otherwise relate to the protection of the environment, waste management and the characteristics and the composition of fuels. Compliance with existing and anticipated laws and regulations can increase the overall cost of operating the Partnership’s assets, including remediation, operating costs and capital costs to construct, maintain and upgrade equipment and facilities.
In connection with PBF Holding’s acquisition of the DCR assets, Valero Energy Corporation (“Valero”) remains responsible for certain pre-acquisition environmental obligations up to $20,000 and the predecessor to Valero in ownership of the refinery retains other historical obligations.
In connection with its acquisition of the DCR assets and the Paulsboro refinery, PBF Holding and Valero purchased ten year, $75,000 environmental insurance policies to insure against unknown environmental liabilities at each site. In connection with PBF Holding’s Toledo refinery acquisition, Sunoco Inc. (R&M) remains responsible for environmental remediation for conditions that existed on the closing date for twenty years from March 1, 2011, subject to certain limitations.
In connection with the Plains Asset Purchase, the Partnership is responsible for the environmental remediation costs for conditions that existed on the closing date up to a maximum of $250 per year for ten years, with Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. remaining responsible for any and all additional costs above such amounts during such period. The environmental liability of $2,284 recorded as of September 30, 2016 represents the present value of expected future costs discounted at a rate of 1.83%. At September 30, 2016 the undiscounted liability is $2,500 and the Partnership expects to make aggregate payments for this liability of $1,250 over the next five years. The current portion of the environmental liability is recorded in Accrued expenses and the non-current portion is recorded in Other long-term liabilities.
In connection with PBF Holding's acquisition of the Torrance refinery and related logistics assets, PBF Holding is responsible for all known and unknown environmental liabilities at each site acquired in connection with the acquisition. The total estimated liability of known environmental obligations associated with the Torrance Valley Pipeline was approximately $1,475. In accordance with the Contribution Agreement, PBF Holding has indemnified the Partnership for any and all costs associated with environmental remediation for obligations that existed on or before August 31, 2016, including all known or unknown events, which includes the recorded liability of approximately $1,475. At September 30, 2016 the Partnership expects to make the full aggregate payment for this liability within the next five years. PBFX has recorded a receivable from PBF Holding for such anticipated payments related to the pre-existing Torrance Valley Pipeline environmental obligations.

9. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Commercial Agreements
PBFX currently derives the majority of its revenue from long-term, fee-based agreements with PBF Holding, supported by fee escalations for inflation adjustments and certain increases in operating costs. PBFX believes the terms and conditions under these agreements, as well as the omnibus and services agreements with PBF Holding described below, are generally no less favorable to either party than those that could have been negotiated with unaffiliated parties with respect to similar services. 

East Coast Terminals
The commercial agreements with PBF Holding related to the East Coast Terminals have initial terms ranging from approximately three months to one year and include: 


23

PBF LOGISTICS LP
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT BARREL, PER BARREL, UNIT AND PER UNIT DATA)


tank lease agreements, under which the Partnership provides tank lease services to PBF Holding at the East Coast Terminals, with fees ranging from $0.45 to $0.55 per barrel received into the tank, up to 448,000 barrels, and $0.30 to $0.351 for all additional barrels received in excess of that amount. Additionally, the lease agreements include ancillary fees for tank to tank transfers; and
terminaling service agreements, under which the Partnership provides terminaling and other services to PBF Holding at the East Coast Terminals, with fees ranging from $0.10 to $1.25 per barrel based on services provided, with additional flat rate fees for certain unloading/loading activities at the terminal.
The tank lease agreements contain minimum requirements for the amount of leased tank capacity contracted by PBF Holding. Additionally, the fees under each commercial agreement are indexed for inflation based on the changes in the U.S Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (the “CPI-U”). Each of these commercial agreements also include automatic renewal options ranging from three months to one year terms, unless written notice is provide by either the Partnership or PBF Holding thirty days prior to the end of the previous term.

The Contributed Assets
The commercial agreements with PBF Holding related the Contributed Assets have initial terms ranging from approximately seven to ten years and include: 
a rail terminaling services agreement with PBF Holding, with an initial term of approximately seven years, under which the Partnership provides terminaling services at the DCR Rail Terminal. Pursuant to the rail terminaling services agreement, and based on the change in the U.S. Producer Price Index (the “PPI”), effective January 1, 2016, the terminaling service fee was decreased to $2.014 per barrel up to the minimum throughput commitment and $0.503 per barrel for volumes that exceed the minimum throughput commitment;
a truck unloading and terminaling services agreement with PBF Holding, with an initial term of approximately seven years, under which the Partnership provides terminaling services at the Toledo Truck Terminal. Pursuant to the truck unloading and terminaling services agreement, and based on the change in the PPI, effective January 1, 2016, the terminaling service fee was decreased to $1.007 per barrel;
a terminaling services agreement, with an initial term of approximately seven years, under which the Partnership provides rail terminaling services to PBF Holding at the DCR West Rack;
a storage and terminaling services agreement, with an initial term of ten years, under which the Partnership provides storage and terminaling services to PBF Holding at the Toledo Storage Facility;
a pipeline service agreement with PBF Holding, with an initial term of approximately ten years, under which the Partnership, through Delaware Pipeline Company (“DPC”), provides pipeline services to PBF Holding at the Delaware City Products Pipeline. Effective July 2016, the throughput fee was decreased to $0.5396 per barrel, due to a decrease in the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (“FERC”) tariff;
a truck loading service agreement with PBF Holding, with an initial term of approximately ten years, under which the Partnership, through Delaware City Logistics Company LLC (“DCLC”), provides terminaling services to PBF Holding at the Delaware City Truck Rack; and
a transportation services agreement with PBF Holding, with an initial term of ten years, under which the Partnership, through TVPC, provides transportation and storage services to PBF Holding on the Torrance Valley Pipeline.
Transportation Services. The minimum throughput commitment for transportation services on the northern portion of the Torrance Valley Pipeline is approximately 50,000 barrels per day for a fee equal to $0.5625 per barrel of crude throughput up to the minimum throughput commitment and in excess of the minimum throughput commitment. If PBF Holding does not throughput the aggregate amounts equal to the minimum throughput commitment described above, PBF Holding will be required to pay a shortfall payment equal


24

PBF LOGISTICS LP
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT BARREL, PER BARREL, UNIT AND PER UNIT DATA)


to the shortfall volume multiplied by the fee. The minimum throughput commitment for the southern portion of the Torrance Valley Pipeline is approximately 70,000 bpd with a fee equal to approximately $1.5625 per barrel and a fee of $0.3125 per barrel for amounts in excess of the minimum throughput commitment. If PBF Holding does not throughput the aggregate amounts equal to the minimum throughput commitment described above, PBF Holding will be required to pay a shortfall payment equal to the shortfall volume multiplied by the fee of $1.5625 per barrel; provided, however, that PBF Holding will receive a credit to PBF Holding’s account for the amount of such shortfall, and such credit will be applied in subsequent monthly invoices against excess throughput fees during any of the succeeding three months.
Storage Services. PBF Holding will pay TVPC $0.85 per barrel fixed rate for the shell capacity of the Midway tank, which rate includes throughput equal to the shell capacity of the tank. PBF Holding will pay $0.85 per barrel fixed rate for each of the Belridge and Emidio storage tanks, which rate includes throughput equal to the shell capacity of each individual storage tank, subject to adjustment. PBF Holding will also pay $0.425 per barrel for throughput in excess of the shell capacity for each storage tank; provided that PBF Holding has a commitment for a minimum incremental throughput in excess of the shell capacity of (A) 715,000 barrels per month for the Belridge Tank, and (B) 600,000 barrels per month for the Emidio tank. If, during any month, actual throughput in excess of the shell capacity of all individual storage tanks by PBF Holding is less than the throughput storage minimum commitment, then PBF Holding will pay TVPC an amount equal to the storage rate multiplied by the throughput storage minimum commitment less the actual excess volumes.
TVPC is required to maintain the Torrance Valley Pipeline in a condition and with a capacity sufficient to handle a volume of PBF Holding’s crude at least equal to the current operating capacity or the reserved crude capacity, as the case may be, subject to interruptions for routine repairs and maintenance and force majeure events. Failure to meet such obligations may result in a reduction of fees payable under the Transportation Services Agreement.
Each of these commercial agreements contain minimum volume commitments. Additionally, the storage and terminaling services agreement contains minimum requirements for the amount of storage contracted by PBF Holding. The fees under each commercial agreement are indexed for inflation and the agreements give PBF Holding the option to renew for two additional five year terms following the expiration of the initial term.

Other Agreements
In addition to the commercial agreements described above, at the closing of the Offering, the Partnership also entered into an omnibus agreement with PBF GP, PBF LLC and PBF Holding, which has been amended and restated in connection with each of the Acquisitions from PBF. The omnibus agreement addresses the payment of an annual fee for the provision of various general and administrative services and reimbursement of salary and benefit costs for certain PBF Energy employees, among other matters, and an operations and management services and secondment agreement with PBF Holding and certain of its subsidiaries under which PBFX reimburses PBF Holding for the provision of certain operational services to the Partnership in support of its operations, including operational services performed by certain of PBF Holding’s field-level employees.

Our Storage segment consists of the following asset:

Revenues are generated from third-party transactions as well as commercial agreements entered into with PBF Holding under which the Partnership receives fees for transportation, terminaling and storage of crude oil and refined products. The commercial agreements with PBF Holding are described in Note 9 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q. The Partnership does not have any foreign operations.
The operating segments adhere to the accounting polices used for the consolidated financial statements, as described in Note 2 “Summary of Accounting Policies” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2015 Form 10-K. The Partnership’s operating segments are strategic business units that offer different services in different geographical locations. PBFX has evaluated the performance of each operating segment based on its respective operating income. Certain general and administrative expenses and interest and financing costs are included in Corporate as they are not directly attributable to a specific operating segment. Identifiable assets are

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

You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q. The following information and such unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should also be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes, together with our discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations in our 2015 Form 10-K. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that are based on management’s current expectations, estimates and projections about our business and operations. The cautionary statements made in this report should be read as applying to all related forward-looking statements wherever they appear in this Form 10-Q. Our actual results may differ materially from those currently anticipated and expressed in such forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors. You should read “Risk Factors” in our 2015 Form 10-K and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in this Form 10-Q. In this Item 2, all references to “we,” “us,” “our,” the “Partnership,” “PBFX” or similar terms for periods prior to the Offering refer to the Predecessor or for assets acquired in the Acquisitions from PBF prior to the effective date of each acquisition. For periods subsequent to the Offering or effective dates of each of the Acquisitions from PBF, these terms refer to the Partnership and its subsidiaries.

Overview
PBFX is a fee-based, growth-oriented, Delaware master limited partnership formed in February 2013 by subsidiaries of PBF Energy to own or lease, operate, develop and acquire crude oil and refined petroleum products terminals, pipelines, storage facilities and similar logistics assets. PBF GP is our general partner and is wholly-owned by PBF LLC. PBF Energy is the sole managing member of PBF LLC and, as of September 30, 2016, owned 95.2% of the total economic interest in PBF LLC. PBF LLC holds a 44.2% limited partner interest in PBFX and owns all of PBFX’s IDRs, with the remaining 55.8% limited partner interest owned by public unitholders.
The Partnership includes the assets, liabilities and results of operations of certain crude oil and refined product terminaling, pipeline, and storage assets, which include assets previously operated and owned by PBF Holding’s subsidiaries, DCR, TRC and PBF Holding’s previously held subsidiary, DPC, which were acquired in the Acquisitions from PBF during 2014, 2015 and 2016. 
In connection with the Offering, pursuant to a contribution, conveyance and assumption agreement, PBF LLC contributed the IPO Assets to PBFX. Prior to completion of the Offering, the assets, liabilities and results of operations of the IPO Assets related to our Predecessor. 
During 2014, the Partnership acquired from PBF LLC the DCR West Rack at the Delaware City refinery and the Toledo Storage Facility located at PBF Holding’s Toledo refinery. In addition, on May 14, 2015, the Partnership acquired from PBF LLC the Delaware City Products Pipeline and the Delaware City Truck Rack (the “Delaware City Products Pipeline and Truck Rack Acquisition”) located at PBF Holding’s Delaware City, Delaware refinery. We recorded the Acquisitions from PBF at PBF Energy’s historical book value, as the Acquisitions from PBF were treated as a reorganization of entities under common control.
On April 29, 2016, our wholly-owned subsidiary, PLPT, purchased the East Coast Terminals from an affiliate of Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. for total cash consideration of $100.0 million less a preliminary estimate for working capital adjustments. The consideration was funded with $98.3 million in proceeds from the sale of marketable securities. We borrowed an additional $98.5 million under our Revolving Credit Facility (as defined below), which was used to repay $98.3 million of our Term Loan (as defined below) in order to release $98.3 million in marketable securities that had collateralized the Term Loan. This acquisition expands our terminaling footprint and introduces third-party customers to our revenue base. See note 2 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q for further discussion regarding the Plains Asset Purchase.

On August 31, 2016, we entered into a contribution agreement between us and PBF LLC (the “Contribution Agreement”). Pursuant to the Contribution Agreement, we, through our wholly-owned subsidiary, PBFX Op Co,


38


acquired from PBF LLC, 50% of the issued and outstanding limited liability company interests of TVPC, whose assets consist of the Torrance Valley Pipeline. Total consideration paid to PBF LLC was $175.0 million. The consideration was funded by us with $20.0 million of cash on hand, $76.2 million in proceeds from the sale of marketable securities, and $78.8 million in net proceeds from the August 2016 Equity Offering (as defined below). We borrowed an additional $76.2 million under our Revolving Credit Facility (as defined below), which was used to repay $76.2 million of our Term Loan (as defined below) in order to release $76.2 million in marketable securities that had collateralized the Term Loan.

On April 5, 2016, we completed a public offering of an aggregate of 2,875,000 common units, including 375,000 common units that were sold pursuant to the full exercise by the underwriter of its option to purchase additional common units, for net proceeds of approximately $51.6 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering expenses (the “April 2016 Equity Offering”).
On August 17, 2016, PBFX completed a public offering of an aggregate of 4,000,000 common units, including the underwriter's option to purchase an additional 600,000 common units, of which 375,000 units were subsequently purchased on September 14, 2016, for total net proceeds of $86.7 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering expenses (the “August 2016 Offering”).
Our Predecessor did not historically operate its assets for the purpose of generating revenues independent of other PBF Energy businesses that we support, with the exception of third-party revenue generated by Delaware City Products Pipeline prior to August 2013. Upon closing of the Offering and the Acquisitions from PBF, we entered into commercial and service agreements with subsidiaries of PBF Energy under which we operate our assets for the purpose of generating fee-based revenues. We receive, handle and transfer crude oil and refined products from sources located throughout the United States and Canada and store crude oil, refined products and intermediates for PBF Energy in support of its refineries located in Toledo, Ohio, Delaware City, Delaware, Paulsboro, New Jersey, and Torrance, California. Our assets acquired from PBF Energy consist of the DCR Rail Terminal, the Toledo Truck Terminal, the DCR West Rack, the Toledo Storage Facility, the Delaware City Products Pipeline and Truck Rack and the Torrance Valley Pipeline (collectively referred to as the “Contributed Assets”), which are integral components of the crude oil and refined products delivery and storage operations at PBF Energy’s refineries. In addition, subsequent to the Plains Asset Purchase, we have begun to generate third-party revenue related to the East Coast Terminals.
The condensed consolidated financial statements presented in this Form 10-Q include the consolidated financial results of PBFX as of and for the period ending September 30, 2016. We have retrospectively adjusted the financial information contained herein of PBFX, in the current quarter, with 50% of net income of TVPC allocated to NCI, to include the historical results of the Torrance Valley Pipeline prior to the acquisition by PBFX from July 1, 2016 to August 31, 2016.

Agreements with PBF Energy

Commercial Agreements
We have various long-term, fee-based commercial agreements with PBF Holding under which we provide rail, trucking, pipeline, terminal distribution and storage services to PBF Holding, and PBF Holding commits to provide us with minimum monthly throughput volumes of crude oil and refined products. If, in any calendar quarter, PBF Holding fails to meet its minimum volume commitments under these agreements, it will be required to pay a shortfall payment. We believe the terms and conditions under these agreements, as well as other agreements with PBF Holding described below, are generally no less favorable to either party than those that could have been negotiated with unaffiliated parties with respect to similar services. In addition, certain subsidiaries of PBF Energy have preexisting commercial relationships with the East Coast Terminals which have been assigned to us in connection with the closing of the Plains Asset Purchase.




39


East Coast Terminals
The commercial agreements with PBF Holding related to the East Coast Terminals have initial terms ranging from approximately three months to one year and include: 
tank lease agreements, under which the Partnership provides tank lease services to PBF Holding at the East Coast Terminals, with fees ranging from $0.45 to $0.55 per barrel received into the tank, up to 448,000 barrels, and $0.30 to $0.351 for all additional barrels received in excess of that amount. Additionally, the lease agreements include ancillary fees for tank to tank transfers; and
terminaling service agreements, under which the Partnership provides terminaling and other services to PBF Holding at the East Coast Terminals, with fees ranging from $0.10 to $1.25 per barrel based on services provided, with additional flat rate fees for certain unloading/loading activities at the terminal.
The tank lease agreements contain minimum requirements for the amount of leased tank capacity contracted by PBF Holding. Additionally, the fees under each commercial agreement are indexed for inflation based on the changes in the U.S Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (the “CPI-U”). Each of these commercial agreements also include automatic renewal options ranging from three months to one year terms, unless written notice is provide by either the Partnership or PBF Holding 30 days prior to the end of the previous term.

The Contributed Assets
The commercial agreements with PBF Holding related to the Contributed Assets have initial terms ranging from approximately seven to ten years and include: 
a rail terminaling services agreement with PBF Holding, with an initial term of approximately seven years, under which we provide terminaling service at the DCR Rail Terminal. Pursuant to the rail terminaling services agreement, and based on the change in the U.S. Producer Price Index (the “PPI”), effective January 1, 2016, the terminaling service fee was decreased to $2.014 per barrel up to the minimum throughput commitment and $0.503 per barrel for volumes that exceed the minimum throughput commitment;
a truck unloading and terminaling services agreement with PBF Holding, with an initial term of approximately seven years, under which we provide terminaling service at the Toledo Truck Terminal. Pursuant to the truck unloading and terminaling services agreement, and based on the change in the PPI, effective January 1, 2016, the terminaling service fee was decreased to $1.007 per barrel;
a terminaling services agreement, with an initial term of approximately seven years, under which we provide rail terminaling services to PBF Holding at the DCR West Rack;
a storage and terminaling services agreement, with an initial term of ten years, under which we provide storage and terminaling services to PBF Holding at the Toledo Storage Facility;
a pipeline service agreement with PBF Holding, with an initial term of approximately ten years, under which we, through DPC, provide pipeline service to PBF Holding at the Delaware City Products Pipeline. Effective July 2016, the throughput fee was decreased to $0.5396 per barrel, due to a decrease in the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (“FERC”) tariff;
a truck loading service agreement with PBF Holding, with an initial term of approximately ten years, under which we, through Delaware City Logistics Company LLC, provide terminaling services to PBF Holding at the Delaware City Truck Rack; and
a transportation services agreement with PBF Holding, with an initial term of ten years, under which the Partnership, through TVPC, provides transportation and storage services to PBF Holding on the Torrance Valley Pipeline.


40


Transportation Services. The minimum throughput commitment for transportation services on the northern portion of the Torrance Valley Pipeline is approximately 50,000 barrels per day for a fee equal to $0.5625 per barrel of crude throughput up to the minimum throughput commitment and in excess of the minimum throughput commitment. If PBF Holding does not throughput the aggregate amounts equal to the minimum throughput commitment described above, PBF Holding will be required to pay a shortfall payment equal to the shortfall volume multiplied by the fee of $0.5625 per barrel. The minimum throughput commitment for the southern portion of the Torrance Valley Pipeline is approximately 70,000 bpd with a fee equal to approximately $1.5625 per barrel and a fee of $0.3125 per barrel for amounts in excess of the minimum throughput commitment. If PBF Holding does not throughput the aggregate amounts equal to the minimum throughput commitment described above, PBF Holding will be required to pay a shortfall payment equal to the shortfall volume multiplied by the fee of $1.5625 per barrel; provided, however, that PBF Holding will receive a credit to PBF Holding’s account for the amount of such shortfall, and such credit will be applied in subsequent monthly invoices against excess throughput fees during any of the succeeding three (3) months.
Storage Services. PBF Holding will pay TVPC $0.85 per barrel fixed rate for the shell capacity of the Midway tank, which rate includes throughput equal to the shell capacity of the tank. PBF Holding or its designee will pay $0.85 per barrel fixed rate for each of the Belridge and Emidio storage tanks (together, the “Throughput Storage Tanks”), which rate includes throughput equal to the shell capacity of each individual Throughput Storage Tank, subject to adjustment. PBF Holding will also pay $0.425 per barrel for throughput in excess of the shell capacity (the “Excess Storage Throughput Rate”) for each Throughput Storage Tank; provided that PBF Holding has a commitment for a minimum incremental throughput in excess of the shell capacity of (A) 715,000 barrels per month for the Belridge Tank (the “Belridge Storage MTC”), and (B) 600,000 barrels per month for the Emidio tank (the “Emidio Storage MTC” and together with the Belridge Storage MTC, the “Throughput Storage MTC”). If, during any month, actual throughput in excess of the shell capacity of all Throughput Storage Tanks by PBF Holding or its designee (the “Actual Excess Volumes”) is less than the Throughput Storage MTC, then PBF Holding will pay TVPC an amount equal to the Excess Storage Throughput Rate multiplied by the Throughput Storage MTC less the Actual Excess Volumes.
TVPC is required to maintain the Torrance Valley Pipeline in a condition and with a capacity sufficient to handle a volume of PBF Holding’s crude at least equal to the current operating capacity or the reserved crude capacity, as the case may be, subject to interruptions for routine repairs and maintenance and force majeure events. Failure to meet such obligations may result in a reduction of fees payable under the Transportation Services Agreement.
Each of these commercial agreements contain minimum volume commitments. Additionally, the storage and terminaling services agreement contains minimum requirements for the amount of storage contracted by PBF Holding. The fees under each commercial agreement are indexed for inflation and the agreements give PBF Holding the option to renew for two additional five year terms following the expiration of the initial term.

Other Agreements
In addition to the commercial agreements described above, at the closing of the Offering, we also entered into an omnibus agreement with PBF GP, PBF LLC and PBF Holding, which has been amended and restated in connection with each of the Acquisitions from PBF. The omnibus agreement addresses the payment of an annual fee for the provision of various general and administrative services and reimbursement of salary and benefit costs for certain PBF Energy employees, among other matters, and an operations and management services and secondment agreement with PBF Holding and certain of its subsidiaries under which PBFX reimburses PBF Holding for the provision of certain operational services to the Partnership in support of its operations, including operational services performed by certain of PBF Holding’s field-level employees. On August 31, 2016, in order to include the Torrance Valley Pipeline, the Partnership entered into an amended and restated omnibus agreement,


41


which increased the annual fee to $4.0 million and an amended and restated operations and management services and secondment agreement, which increased the annual fee to $6.4 million.

Factors Affecting the Comparability of Our Financial Results
Our results of operations may not be comparable to our historical results of operations for the reasons described below:
Revenues. Our reported logistics assets revenues are fee-based and a majority are subject to contractual minimum volume commitments. These fees are indexed for inflation in accordance with either the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (the “FERC”) indexing methodology, the PPI or the CPI-U.
Revenues reported by PBFX prior to the Delaware City Product Pipeline and Truck Rack Acquisition and the TVPC Acquisition did not include commercial contracts associated with the Delaware City Products Pipeline and Truck Rack or the Torrance Valley Pipeline. Prior to these acquisitions, only the Delaware City Products Pipeline generated revenue.
Operating Expenses. The Torrance Valley Pipeline was acquired by PBF Energy on July 1, 2016 in connection with the acquisition of the Torrance refinery and related logistical assets and was not operated by PBF Energy prior to its acquisition. Accordingly, the financial information contained herein of PBFX has been adjusted in the current quarter to include the historical results of the Torrance Valley Pipeline prior to the acquisition by PBFX from July 1, 2016 to August 31, 2016. As a result, our operating expenses may not be comparative to prior periods due expenses associated with the Torrance Valley Pipeline.
Financing. Historically, we have financed our operations through proceeds generated by the Offering, internally generated cash flows, and borrowings under our five year $360.0 million revolving credit facility (“Revolving Credit Facility”) to satisfy capital expenditure requirements. On May 12, 2015, we issued $350.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 6.875% Senior Notes due 2023 (“2023 Notes”), resulting in a significant increase as compared to our historically recognized interest expense and amortization of loan fees. In connection with the Plains Asset Purchase, we borrowed an additional $98.5 million under our Revolving Credit Facility, which was used to repay $98.3 million of our Term Loan (as defined below) in order to release $98.3 million in marketable securities that had collateralized the Term Loan. In connection with the TVPC Acquisition, we borrowed an additional $76.2 million under our Revolving Credit Facility, which was used to repay $76.2 million of our Term Loan in order to release $76.2 million in marketable securities that had collateralized the Term Loan.The maximum amount of the Revolving Credit Facility was increased from $325.0 million to $360.0 million in May 2016.
Based on the terms of our cash distribution policy, we will distribute most of the cash generated by our operations to our unitholders, including PBF Energy. As a result, we expect to fund future maintenance and growth capital expenditures primarily from a combination of cash-on-hand, borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility and potential issuance of additional equity or debt securities.
The Plains Asset Purchase. On April 29, 2016, we purchased the East Coast Terminals, which have subsequently generated third-party revenues. Prior to the Plains Asset Purchase, we did not record third-party revenue, with the exception of third-party revenue generated by Delaware City Products Pipeline prior to August 2013. Additionally, our results may not be comparable due to additional affiliate revenue, operating and maintenance expenses and general and administrative expenses associated with the the East Coast Terminals.

Other Factors That Will Significantly Affect Our Results
Supply and Demand for Crude Oil and Refined Products. We generate revenue by charging fees for receiving, handling, transferring, storing and throughputting crude oil and refined products. The majority of our revenues are derived from fee-based commercial agreements with subsidiaries of PBF Energy with initial terms ranging from approximately seven to ten years and including minimum volume commitments, which enhance the stability of


42


our cash flows. The volume of crude oil and refined products that is throughputted depends substantially on PBF Energy’s refining margins. Refining margins are dependent mostly upon the price of crude oil or other refinery feedstocks and the price of refined products.
Factors driving the prices of petroleum-based commodities include supply and demand in crude oil, gasoline and other refined products. Supply and demand for these products depend on numerous factors outside of our control, including changes in domestic and foreign economies, weather conditions, domestic and foreign political affairs, production levels, logistics constraints, availability of imports, marketing of competitive fuels, crude oil price differentials and government regulation. Please read “Risk Factors” in our 2015 Form 10-K.
Acquisition Opportunities. We may acquire additional logistics assets from PBF Energy or third-parties. Under our omnibus agreement with PBF GP, PBF LLC and PBF Holding, subject to certain exceptions, we have a right of first offer on certain logistics assets owned by PBF Energy to the extent PBF Energy decides to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of those assets. We also have a right of first offer to acquire additional logistics assets that PBF Energy may construct or acquire in the future. Our commercial agreements provide us with options to purchase certain assets at PBF Holding’s Delaware City refinery, Toledo refinery and Torrance refinery, related to our business in the event PBF Energy permanently shuts down the Delaware City refinery, the Toledo refinery or the Torrance refinery. In addition, our commercial agreements provide us with the right to use certain assets at PBF Holding’s Delaware City, Toledo or Torrance refineries in the event of a temporary shutdown. Furthermore, we may pursue strategic asset acquisitions from third-parties to the extent such acquisitions complement our or PBF Energy’s existing asset base or provide attractive potential returns. We believe that we are well-positioned to acquire logistics assets from PBF Energy and third- parties should such opportunities arise, and identifying and executing acquisitions is 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 cash available for distribution. These acquisitions could also affect the comparability of our results from period to period. We expect to fund future growth capital expenditures primarily from a combination of cash-on-hand, through the liquidation of marketable securities, borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility and the issuance of additional equity or debt securities. To the extent we issue additional units to fund future acquisitions or expansion capital expenditures, the payments of distributions on those additional units may increase the risk that we will be unable to maintain or increase our per unit distribution level.
Third-Party Business. As of September 30, 2016, PBF Holding accounts for the substantial majority of our revenues and we continue to expect the majority of our revenue for the foreseeable future will be derived from operations supporting PBF Energy’s refineries, particularly its Delaware City, Toledo and Torrance refineries. We are examining further diversification of our customer base by potentially developing third-party throughput volumes in our existing system and continuing to expand our asset portfolio to service third-party customers. Unless we are successful in attracting additional third-party customers, our ability to increase volumes will be dependent on PBF Holding, which has no obligation under our commercial agreements to supply our facilities with additional volumes in excess of its minimum volume commitments. If we are unable to increase throughput volumes, future growth may be limited.
Noncontrolling Interest. As a result of the Contribution Agreement, in which PBFX, through its subsidiary, PBFX Op Co, acquired from PBF LLC 50% of the issued and outstanding limited liability company interests of TVPC, PBFX Op Co became the managing member of TVPC and fully consolidates TVPC. With respect to the consolidation of TVPC, the Partnership records a noncontrolling interest for the remaining 50% economic interest in TVPC held by TVP Holding Company LLC (“TVP Holding”). Noncontrolling interest on the consolidated statements of operations includes the portion of net income or loss attributable to the economic interest in TVPC held by TVP Holding. Noncontrolling interest on the condensed consolidated balance sheets includes the portion of net assets of TVPC attributable to TVP Holding.

How We Evaluate Our Operations
Our management uses a variety of financial and operating metrics to analyze our performance. These metrics are significant factors in assessing our operating results and profitability and include but are not limited to volumes, including terminal and pipeline throughput and storage capacity; operating and maintenance expenses; and EBITDA, EBITDA attributable to PBFX and distributable cash flow. We define EBITDA, EBITDA attributable to PBFX and distributable cash flow below.
Volumes. The amount of revenue we generate primarily depends on the volumes of crude oil and products that we throughput at our terminaling and pipeline operations and our available storage capacity. These volumes are primarily affected by the supply of and demand for crude oil and refined products in the markets served directly or indirectly by our assets. Although PBF Energy has committed to minimum volumes under the commercial agreements described above, our results of operations will be impacted by:

PBF Energy’s utilization of our assets in excess of the minimum volume commitments;
our ability to identify and execute accretive acquisitions and organic expansion projects, and capture PBF Energy’s incremental volumes or third-party volumes; and
our ability to increase throughput volumes at our facilities and provide additional ancillary services at those terminals and pipelines.
Operating and Maintenance Expenses. Our management seeks to maximize the profitability of our operations by effectively managing operating and maintenance expenses. These expenses are comprised primarily of labor expenses, outside contractor expenses, utility costs, insurance premiums, repairs and maintenance expenses and related property taxes. These expenses generally remain relatively stable across broad ranges of throughput volumes but can fluctuate from period to period depending on the mix of activities performed during that period and the timing of these expenses. We will seek to manage our maintenance expenditures on our assets by scheduling maintenance overtime to avoid significant variability in our maintenance expenditures and to minimize their impact on our cash flow.
EBITDA, EBITDA attributable to PBFX and Distributable Cash Flow. We define EBITDA as net income (loss) before net interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization expense. We define EBITDA attributable to PBFX as net income (loss) attributable to PBFX before net interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation  and amortization expense attributable to PBFX, which excludes the results of Acquisitions from PBF prior to the effective dates of such transactions. We define distributable cash flow as EBITDA attributable to PBFX plus non-cash unit-based compensation expense, less net cash paid for interest, maintenance capital expenditures and income taxes. Distributable cash flow will not reflect changes in working capital balances. EBITDA, EBITDA attributable to PBFX and distributable cash flow are not presentations made in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
EBITDA, EBITDA attributable to PBFX and distributable cash flow are non-GAAP supplemental financial measures 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, in the case of EBITDA, 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 of various investment opportunities.
We believe that the presentation of EBITDA and EBITDA attributable to PBFX provides useful information to investors in assessing our financial condition and results of operations. We believe that the presentation of distributable cash flow will provide useful information to investors as it is a widely accepted financial indicator used by investors to compare partnership performance and provides investors with an enhanced perspective of the


44


operating performance of our assets and the cash our business is generating. EBITDA, EBITDA attributable to PBFX and distributable cash flow should not be considered alternatives to net income, operating income, cash from operations or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. EBITDA, EBITDA attributable to PBFX and distributable cash flow 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. Additionally, because EBITDA, EBITDA attributable to PBFX and distributable cash flow may be defined differently by other companies in our industry, our definition of such matters may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing their utility. EBITDA, EBITDA attributable to PBFX and distributable cash flow are reconciled to net income and net cash provided by operating activities in “—Results of Operations” below.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2016 Compared to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2015
Summary. Our net income for the three months ended September 30, 2016 decreased approximately $1.9 million to approximately $18.4 million from approximately $20.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015. The decrease in net income was primarily due to the following:
an increase in operating and maintenance expenses of approximately $7.9 million, or 158.2%, as a result of increased costs for the East Coast Terminals and the Torrance Valley Pipeline (which includes Predecessor expenses from July 1, 2016 through acquisition) and an increase in outside services and maintenance and material expenses;
an increase in general and administrative expenses of approximately $1.4 million, or 47.0%, as a result of acquisition costs related to the Plains Asset Purchase and the TVPC Acquisition of $1.3 million, and allocated pre-acquisition costs associated with the TVPC Acquisition of $0.4 million, partially offset by a decrease in reimbursable expenses associated with the omnibus agreement of approximately $0.3 million;
an increase in depreciation and amortization expenses of approximately $3.5 million, or 211.7%, as a result of the additions to property, plant and equipment related to the East Coast Terminals and the Torrance Valley Pipeline; and
an increase in interest expense, net of approximately $0.5 million attributable to the interest costs associated with the 2023 Notes and higher borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility;
partially offset by the following:
an increase in revenues of approximately $11.4 million, or 30.6%, attributable to the East Coast Terminals operations, commercial agreements with PBF Energy related to the Torrance Valley Pipeline entered into in September 2016, and increased throughput at the Toledo Truck Terminal, Toledo Propane Loading Facility and Delaware City Products Pipeline.
EBITDA attributable to PBFX for the three months ended September 30, 2016 increased approximately $2.4 million to approximately $31.5 million from approximately $29.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015 due to the factors noted above, excluding the impact of depreciation and interest.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2016 Compared to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2015
Summary. Our net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 decreased approximately $4.1 million to approximately $53.7 million from approximately $57.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. The decrease in net income was primarily due to the following:
an increase in operating and maintenance expenses of approximately $8.4 million, or 46.2%, as a result of increased costs associated with the East Coast Terminals and the Torrance Valley Pipeline (which includes Predecessor expenses from July 1, 2016 through acquisition), an increase in maintenance and material expenses related to the Storage segment and an increase in outside services related to certain assets within the Transportation and Terminaling segment;
an increase in general and administrative expenses of approximately $4.1 million, or 41.8%, as a result of an increase in acquisition costs related to the Plains Asset Purchase and the TVPC Acquisition of approximately $3.4 million, an increase in expenses associated with our unit-based compensation of approximately $1.3 million, partially offset by a decrease in reimbursable expenses associated with the omnibus agreement of approximately $0.4 and net pre-acquisition allocated costs associated with the Acquisitions from PBF of approximately $0.2 million;
an increase in depreciation and amortization expenses of approximately $4.0 million, or 81.4%, as a result of the additions to property, plant and equipment related to the East Coast Terminals and the Torrance Valley Pipeline;
an increase in interest expense, net of approximately $8.1 million attributable to the interest costs associated with the 2023 Notes and higher borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility; and


48


an increase in amortization of loan fees of approximately $0.4 million due to the amortization of capitalized debt issuance costs associated with the 2023 Notes.
partially offset by the following:
an increase in revenues of approximately $20.8 million, or 19.9%, attributable to the East Coast Terminals operations, commercial agreements with PBF Energy related to the Torrance Valley Pipeline entered into in September 2016, and the Delaware City Products Pipeline and Truck Rack entered into in May 2015, increased throughput at the Toledo Truck Terminal and higher storage capacity at the Toledo Storage Facility.
EBITDA attributable to PBFX for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 increased approximately $10.2 million to approximately $85.5 million from approximately $75.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 due to the factors noted above, excluding the impacts of depreciation, interest and amortization of loan fees.

Operating Segments
We review operating results in two reportable segments: (i) Transportation and Terminaling; and (ii) Storage. Decisions concerning the allocation of resources and assessment of operating performance are made based on this segmentation. Management measures the operating performance of each of its reportable segments based on the segment operating income. Segment operating income is defined as net sales less operating expenses and depreciation and amortization. General and administrative expenses and interest expenses not included in the Transportation and Terminaling and Storage segments are included in Corporate. Segment reporting is further discussed in Note 10 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q.
Transportation and Terminaling Segment

Three Months Ended September 30, 2016 Compared to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2015
Revenue. Revenue increased approximately $11.2 million, or 35.2%, to approximately $43.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 compared to approximately $31.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015. The increase in revenue was primarily attributable to the effects of the East Coast Terminals

operation acquired in connection with the Plains Asset Purchase, commercial agreements with PBF Energy related to the Torrance Valley Pipeline entered into in September 2016 and increased throughput at the Toledo Truck Terminal, Toledo Propane Loading Facility and Delaware City Products Pipeline. Prior to the acquisition of the Torrance Valley Pipeline, those assets were a part of the integrated operations of PBF Energy and the operation of those assets did not generate third-party or inter-entity revenue. Following the closing of the acquisition, revenues were generated from commercial agreements with PBF Energy. Additionally, subsequent to the closing of the Plains Asset Purchase, we have begun to generate third-party revenue related to the East Coast Terminals as well as incremental affiliate revenue.
Operating and Maintenance Expenses. Operating and maintenance expenses increased approximately $7.2 million, or 234.4%, to approximately $10.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 compared to approximately $3.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015. The increase in operating and maintenance expenses was primarily attributable to the increased operating costs for the East Coast Terminals and the Torrance Valley Pipeline (which includes Predecessor expenses from July 1, 2016 through acquisition) and approximately $1.0 million of higher operating expenses associated with outside services.
Depreciation and Amortization Expenses. Depreciation and amortization expense was approximately $4.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 compared to approximately $1.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015. Depreciation and amortization expense for the three months ended September 30, 2016 increased approximately $0.9 million due to depreciation associated with the East Coast Terminals acquired in April 2016 and approximately $2.7 million due to depreciation associated with the Torrance Valley Pipeline acquired in August 2016.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2016 Compared to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2015
Revenue. Revenue increased approximately $20.6 million, or 23.2%, to approximately $109.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared to approximately $88.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. The increase in revenue was primarily attributable to the East Coast Terminals operations, commercial agreements with PBF Energy related to the Torrance Valley Pipeline entered into in September 2016, and the Delaware City Products Pipeline and Truck Rack entered into in May 2015 and increased throughput at the Toledo Truck Terminal and the Toledo Propane Loading Facility. Prior to the acquisition of the Torrance Valley Pipeline and the Delaware City Products Pipeline and Truck Rack, those assets were a part of the integrated operations of PBF Energy and the operation of those assets did not generate third-party or inter-entity revenue, with the exception of the Delaware City Products Pipeline. Following the closing of each acquisition, revenues were generated from commercial agreements with PBF Energy. Additionally, subsequent to the closing of the Plains Asset Purchase, we have begun to generate third-party revenue related to the East Coast Terminals as well as incremental affiliate revenue.
Operating and Maintenance Expenses. Operating and maintenance expenses increased approximately $7.2 million, or 56.9%, to approximately $19.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared to approximately $12.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. The increase in operating and maintenance expenses was primarily attributable to the increased operating costs for the East Coast Terminals and the Torrance Valley Pipeline (which includes Predecessor expenses from July 1, 2016 through acquisition) and approximately $1.0 million of higher operating expenses associated with outside services.
Depreciation and Amortization Expenses. Depreciation and amortization expense was approximately $7.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared to approximately $3.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. Depreciation and amortization expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 increased approximately $1.5 million due to depreciation associated with the East Coast Terminals acquired in April 2016 and approximately $2.7 million due to depreciation associated with the Torrance Valley Pipeline acquired in August 2016.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2016 Compared to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2015
Revenue. Revenue increased approximately $0.2 million, or 3.1%, to approximately $5.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 compared to approximately $5.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015. The increase in revenue was primarily attributable to higher storage capacity at the Toledo Storage Facility.
Operating and Maintenance Expenses. Operating and maintenance expenses increased approximately $0.7 million, or 34.7%, to approximately $2.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 compared to approximately $1.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015. The increase in operating and maintenance expenses was primarily attributable to higher maintenance and material expense.
Depreciation and Amortization Expenses. Depreciation and amortization expense was approximately $0.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 compared to approximately $0.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015. Depreciation and amortization expense was relatively consistent during the comparable periods.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2016 Compared to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2015
Revenue. Revenue increased approximately $0.3 million, or 1.6%, to approximately $16.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared to approximately $16.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. The increase in revenue was primarily attributable to higher storage capacity at the Toledo Storage Facility.
Operating and Maintenance Expenses. Operating and maintenance expenses increased approximately $1.2 million, or 21.8%, to approximately $6.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared to


52


approximately $5.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. The increase in operating and maintenance expenses was primarily attributable to higher maintenance and material expense of approximately $1.7 million, partially offset by a decrease in outside services, insurance and taxes of approximately $0.5 million at the Toledo Storage Facility.
Depreciation and Amortization Expenses. Depreciation and amortization expense was approximately $1.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared to approximately $2.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. Depreciation and amortization expense was relatively consistent during the comparable periods.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
We expect our ongoing sources of liquidity to include cash generated from operations, reimbursement by PBF Energy for certain capital expenditures, liquidation of marketable securities, borrowings under our credit facility, and issuances of additional debt and equity securities. We believe that cash generated from these sources will be sufficient to meet our short-term working capital requirements, long-term capital expenditure requirements and minimum quarterly cash distributions.
We have paid, and intend to continue to pay, a quarterly distribution of at least $0.30 per unit per quarter, which equates to approximately $12.7 million per quarter, or approximately $50.8 million per year, based on the current number of common units, subordinated units and associated IDRs outstanding. We do not have a legal obligation to pay this distribution. On March 8, 2016, we paid a quarterly cash distribution, based on the results of the fourth quarter of 2015, totaling approximately $14.7 million, or $0.41 per unit, to unitholders of record on February 22, 2016. On May 31, 2016, we paid a quarterly cash distribution, based on the results of the first quarter of 2016, totaling approximately $16.4 million, or $0.42 per unit, to unitholders of record on May 13, 2016. On August 23, 2016, we paid a quarterly cash distribution, based on the results of the second quarter of 2016, totaling approximately $16.9 million, or $0.43 per unit, to unitholders of record on August 9, 2016.
Credit Facilities
On May 14, 2014, we entered into the Revolving Credit Facility and a three year $300 million term loan facility (the “Term Loan”), each with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent, and a syndicate of lenders.
The Revolving Credit Facility is available to fund working capital, acquisitions, distributions and capital expenditures and for other general partnership purposes. The maximum amount of the Revolving Credit Facility was increased from $325.0 million to $360.0 million in May 2016. The Partnership has the ability to further increase the maximum amount of the Revolving Credit Facility by an additional $240.0 million, to a total facility size of $600.0 million, subject to receiving increased commitments from lenders or other financial institutions and satisfaction of certain conditions. The Revolving Credit Facility includes a $25.0 million sublimit for standby letters of credit and for swingline loans. Obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility and certain cash management and hedging obligations designated by the Partnership are guaranteed by its restricted subsidiaries, and are secured by a first priority lien on the Partnership’s assets and those of the Partnership’s restricted subsidiaries other than excluded assets and a guaranty of collection from PBF LLC. The maturity date of the Revolving Credit Facility may be extended for one year on up to two occasions, subject to certain customary terms and conditions. Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at either a Base Rate (as defined in the Revolving Credit Facility) plus an applicable margin ranging from 0.75% to 1.75%, or at LIBOR plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.75% to 2.75%. The applicable margin will vary based upon the Partnership’s Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio, as defined in the Revolving Credit Facility.
The Term Loan was used to fund distributions to PBF LLC and is guaranteed by a guaranty of collection from PBF LLC and secured at all times by cash or U.S. Treasury securities in an amount equal to or greater than the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan. Borrowings under the Term Loan bear interest either at Base Rate (as defined in the Term Loan), or at LIBOR plus an applicable margin equal to 0.25%.
The Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan contain covenants that limit or restrict our ability to make cash distributions. We are required to maintain certain financial ratios, each tested on a quarterly basis for the immediately preceding four quarter period. We are in compliance with our covenants under the Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan as of September 30, 2016.
On May 12, 2015, we completed the offering of $350.0 million of 2023 Notes. The initial purchasers in the offering purchased $330.1 million aggregate principal amount of 2023 Notes and certain of PBF Energy’s officers and directors and their affiliates and family members purchased the remaining $19.9 million aggregate principal


54


amount of 2023 Notes. We pay interest on the 2023 Notes semi-annually on May 15 and November 15 with our first interest payment taking place on November 15, 2015. The 2023 Notes mature on May 15, 2023.
The 2023 Notes contain customary terms, events of default and covenants for an issuer of non-investment grade debt securities. These covenants include limitations or restrictions on us and our restricted subsidiaries’ ability to, among other things, make distributions. These covenants are subject to a number of important limitations and exceptions. As of September 30, 2016, we are in compliance with all covenants under the 2023 Notes.

Net cash provided by operating activities increased approximately $5.2 million to approximately $68.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared to approximately $63.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. The increase in net cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to a decrease in working capital of approximately $3.7 million driven mostly by the timing of the collection of affiliate accounts receivables as well as an increase of approximately $5.6 million related to non-cash charges for depreciation, amortization of deferred financing costs and unit-based compensation. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in net income of approximately $4.1 million to approximately $53.7 million recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2016, compared to approximately $57.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015.
Net cash provided by investing activities increased approximately $71.7 million to approximately $71.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared to net cash used in investing activities of approximately $0.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. The increase in net cash used in investing activities was primarily due to the net sale of approximately $173.6 million of marketable securities during the nine months ended September 30, 2016, offset by the Plains Asset Purchase for approximately $98.4 million and an increase in capital expenditures of approximately $3.5 million.
Net cash used in financing activities increased approximately $55.4 million to approximately $114.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared to approximately $58.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. The cash outflows for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 were primarily driven by distributions to PBF LLC related to Acquisitions from PBF of $175.0 million, repayment of our Term Loan of approximately $174.5 million and distributions to unitholders of approximately $48.0 million, partly offset by net borrowings of our Revolving Credit Facility of approximately $144.7 million, net proceeds from the issuance of common units as part of the April and August 2016 Offerings of approximately $138.3 million and a contribution from the Partnership's parent of approximately $0.4 million related to the pre-acquisition activities of TVPC. Net cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 consisted of net repayments of our Revolving Credit Facility of approximately $250.6 million, distributions to PBF LLC related to the Delaware City Products Pipeline and Truck Rack Acquisition of approximately $112.5 million, distributions to unitholders of approximately $35.8 million, distribution to PBFX's parent of approximately $1.0 million related to the pre-acquisition activity of the Delaware City Products Pipeline and Truck Rack, net repayment of our Term Loan of approximately $0.7 million and deferred financing costs of approximately $8.2 million, partially offset by the proceeds from the issuance of the 2023 Notes of approximately $350.0 million.

Capital Expenditures
Our capital requirements have consisted of and are expected to continue to consist of maintenance capital expenditures and expansion capital expenditures. Maintenance capital expenditures are cash expenditures (including expenditures for the addition or improvement to, or the replacement of, our capital assets, and for the acquisition of existing, or the construction or development of new, capital assets) made to maintain our long-term operating income or operating capacity. Examples of maintenance capital expenditures are expenditures for the refurbishment and replacement of terminals, to maintain equipment reliability, integrity and safety and to address environmental laws and regulations. Expansion capital expenditures are cash expenditures incurred for acquisitions or capital improvements that we expect will increase our operating income or operating capacity over the long term. Examples of expansion capital expenditures include the acquisition of equipment and the construction, development or acquisition of unloading equipment or other equipment at our facilities or additional throughput capacity to the extent such capital expenditures are expected to expand our operating capacity or our operating income.
Capital expenditures for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 were approximately $103.0 million, including the Plains Asset Purchase of approximately $98.4 million. We currently expect to spend between $120.3 to $121.3 million during 2016 for capital expenditures, which includes capital expenditures related to the East Coast Terminals and the Torrance Valley Pipeline. We anticipate the forecasted maintenance capital expenditures will be funded primarily with cash from operations and through the liquidation of marketable securities.
We have sold, and expect to continue to sell, our U.S. Treasury or other investment grade securities currently used to secure our obligations under the Term Loan over time to fund our capital expenditures, and immediately prior to selling such securities, we expect to continue to repay an equal amount of Term Loan borrowings with borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility. We may also rely on external sources including other borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility, and issuances of equity and debt securities to fund any significant future expansion.
Under our omnibus agreement with PBF GP, PBF LLC and PBF Holding, PBF Energy has agreed to reimburse us for any costs up to $20.0 million per event (net of any insurance recoveries) that we incur for repairs required due to the failure of any Contributed Asset to operate in substantially the same manner and condition as such asset was operating prior to the closing of the Offering and the Acquisitions from PBF during the first five years after the closing of the Offering and the Acquisitions from PBF, and any matters related thereto.

Contractual Obligations
With the exception of the debt activity in connection with the Plains Asset Purchase and the TVPC Acquisition and routine fluctuations in the balances of our Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan, there have been no significant changes in our debt obligations since those reported in our 2015 Form 10-K. See Note 4 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q for more information regarding our debt obligations.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have not entered into any transactions, agreements or other contractual arrangements that would result in off-balance sheet liabilities, other than outstanding letters of credit in the amount of approximately $3.6 million.

Environmental and Other Matters
Environmental Regulation
Our operations are subject to extensive and frequently changing federal, state and local laws, regulations and ordinances relating to the protection of the environment. Among other things, these laws and regulations govern the emission or discharge of pollutants into or onto the land, air and water, the handling and disposal of solid and


56


hazardous wastes and the remediation of contamination. As with the industry generally, compliance with existing and anticipated environmental laws and regulations increases our overall cost of business, including our capital costs to develop, maintain, operate and upgrade equipment and facilities. While these laws and regulations affect our maintenance capital expenditures and net income, we believe they do not affect our competitive position, as the operations of our competitors are similarly affected. We believe our facilities are in substantial compliance with applicable environmental laws and regulations. However, these laws and regulations are subject to changes, or to changes in the interpretation of such laws and regulations, by regulatory authorities, and continued and future compliance with such laws and regulations may require us to incur significant expenditures. Additionally, violation of environmental laws, regulations and permits can result in the imposition of significant administrative, civil and criminal penalties, injunctions limiting our operations, investigatory or remedial liabilities or construction bans or delays in the development of additional facilities or equipment. Furthermore, a release of hydrocarbons or hazardous substances into the environment could, to the extent the event is not insured, subject us to substantial expenses, including costs to comply with applicable laws and regulations and to resolve claims by third-parties for personal injury or property damage, or by the U.S. federal government or state governments for natural resources damages. These impacts could directly and indirectly affect our business and have an adverse impact on our financial position, results of operations and liquidity. We cannot currently determine the amounts of such future impacts.
Environmental Liabilities
Contamination resulting from spills of crude oil or petroleum products are not unusual within the petroleum terminaling or transportation industries. Historic spills at truck and rail racks, and terminals as a result of past operations have resulted in contamination of the environment, including soils and groundwater.
Pursuant to the contribution agreements entered into in connection with the Offering and the Acquisitions from PBF, PBF Energy has agreed to indemnify us for certain known and unknown environmental liabilities that are based on conditions in existence at our Predecessor’s properties and associated with the ownership or operation of the Contributed Assets and arising from the conditions that existed prior to the closings of the Offering and the Acquisitions from PBF. In addition, we have agreed to indemnify PBF Energy for certain events and conditions associated with the ownership or operation of our assets that occur after the closings of the Offering and the Acquisitions from PBF, and for environmental liabilities related to our assets to the extent PBF Energy is not required to indemnify us for such liabilities or if the environmental liability is the result of the negligence, willful misconduct or criminal conduct of PBF Energy or its employees, including those seconded to us. As a result, we may incur the type of expenses described above in the future, which may be substantial.
In connection with the Plains Asset Purchase, the Partnership is responsible for the environmental remediation costs related to the East Coast Terminals for conditions that existed on the closing date up to a maximum of $250 thousand per year for 10 years, with Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. remaining responsible for any and all additional costs above such amounts during the period. At September 30, 2016, the aggregate undiscounted liability for the expected future remediation costs attributable to the East Coast Terminals is approximately $2.5 million and the Partnership expects to make aggregate payments for this liability of approximately $1.3 million over the next five years.
In connection with PBF Holding's acquisition of the Torrance refinery and related logistics assets, PBF Holding is responsible for all known and unknown environmental liabilities at each site acquired in connection with the acquisition. The total estimated liability of known environmental obligations associated with the Torrance Valley Pipeline was approximately $1.5 million. In accordance with the Contribution Agreement, PBF Holding has indemnified the Partnership for any and all costs associated with environmental remediation for obligations that existed on or before August 31, 2016, including all known or unknown events, which includes the recorded liability of approximately $1.5 million. At September 30, 2016 the Partnership expects to make the full aggregate payment for this liability within the next five years and receive reimbursements from PBF Holding accordingly.

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. Because we do not generally own the crude oil or refined products that are distributed through our facilities, and because all of our commercial agreements with PBF Energy require PBF Energy to bear the risk of any material volume loss relating to the services we provide, we have minimal direct exposure to risks associated with fluctuating commodity prices.
We experience modest volume gains and losses, which we sometimes refer to as imbalances, within our assets as a result of variances in tank storage meter readings and volume fluctuations within the East Coast Terminals. We use a year-to-date weighted average market price to value our assets and liabilities related to product imbalances. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, our imbalances resulted in an immaterial amount. In practice, we expect to settle positive refined product imbalances at the end of each year by selling excess volumes at current market prices. We may be required to purchase refined product volumes in the open market to make up negative imbalances, or settle through cash payments.
Debt that we incur under our Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan bears interest at a variable rate and exposes us to interest rate risk. A 1.0% change in the interest rate associated with the borrowings outstanding under these facilities would result in a $3.5 million change in our interest expense, assuming we were to borrow all $360.0 million under our Revolving Credit Facility and the outstanding balance of our Term Loan was $59.7 million.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
PBFX maintains a system of disclosure controls and procedures that is designed to provide reasonable assurance that information which is required to be disclosed is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management in a timely manner. Under the supervision and with the participation of PBFX’s management, including PBFX’s principal executive officer and the principal financial officer, PBFX has evaluated the effectiveness of our system of disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of September 30, 2016. Based on that evaluation, PBFX’s principal executive officer and the principal financial officer have concluded that PBFX’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective at the reasonable assurance level.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
On April 29, 2016, PBFX’s wholly-owned subsidiary, PLPT, completed the Plains Asset Purchase, which consisted of the East Coast Terminals. PBFX is in the process of integrating the East Coast Terminals’ operations, including internal controls over financial reporting. There has been no other change in PBFX’s internal controls over financial reporting during the three months ended September 30, 2016 that has materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, its internal controls over financial reporting.



58


PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings
Although from time to time we may be involved in litigation and claims arising out of our operations in the normal course of business, we do not believe that we are a party to any litigation that will have a material adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations or statements of cash flows. We are not aware of any material legal or governmental proceedings against us, or contemplated to be brought against us.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There have been no significant changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our 2015 Form 10-K.
